NYC-SMOM Mayor Bloomberg Supports Jesuitical Education

Rome's Learning Against Learning
via Hearst Communications' Cathie Black
founded by SMOM William Randolf Hearst

NYC's Mayor Bloomberg is being widely criticized for selecting Cathie Black as Chancellor of the NYC Public School System; the criticism centers around her supposed lack of background in education.

This is correct regarding public schools, but not the broader profession of education, given her resume as serving as the head of Hearst Communications' from their web-site bio:

With a best-selling book drawing on her four decades in the media business, Cathie Black—dubbed "The First Lady of American Magazines" and "one of the leading figures in American publishing over the past two decades" by the Financial Times—heads Hearst Magazines, a division of Hearst Corporation and one of the world's largest publishers of monthly magazines. For 15 years, first as president and now as chairman, she has managed the financial performance and development of some of the industry's best-known titles: Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Good Housekeeping, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, O, The Oprah Magazine, Popular Mechanics, Redbook, and Town & Country—14 magazines in all. She also oversees nearly 200 international editions of those magazines in more than 100 countries. At Hearst Magazines, aggressive international development worldwide as well as significant digital expansion are two key priority areas for Black.

Her book, BASIC BLACK: The Essential Guide for Getting Ahead at Work (and in Life) www.cathieblack.com, explains how she achieved "the 360° life"—a blend of professional accomplishment and personal contentment—and how women can seize opportunity in the workplace. "BASIC BLACK," now in its eighth printing (166,000 copies), reached No. 1 on the Wall Street Journal Business Books list (Nov. 6, 2007) and Business Week best-seller list (Jan. 3, 2008), and No. 3 on the New York Times Business Books List (Nov. 11, 2007). The book has been licensed for translated editions in 12 countries including China, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Russia, Korea, Poland, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Romania and Croatia. The paperback edition debuted Sept. 9, 2008. It is published by Crown Business, an imprint of Random House.

BASIC BLACK is both practical and motivational. Black offers case studies; "black-and-white" tips; and invaluable lessons about ambition, self- confidence, and risk, illustrated by candid, funny personal stories and with insights into media and business giants like Rupert Murdoch, Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Steinem, Francis Ford Coppola, Harvey Weinstein, and Al Neuharth.

Having begun her career in advertising sales with several magazines, including Holiday and Ms., she made publishing history in 1979 when she became the first woman publisher of a weekly consumer magazine: New York.

Black is widely credited for the success of USA Today, where for eight years starting in 1983, she was first president, then publisher, as well as a board member and executive vice president/marketing of Gannett, its parent company. In 1991 she became president and CEO of the Newspaper Association of America, the industry's largest trade group, where she served for five years before joining Hearst.

She serves as a member of the boards of IBM and the Coca-Cola Company, and held a two-year term (1999-2001) as chairman of the Magazine Publishers of America. She is also a board member of the Advertising Council, a trustee of The University of Notre Dame and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Black is included on Forbes magazine's list of "The World's 100 Most Powerful Women." She has also been included on Fortune magazine's "50 Most Powerful Women in Business" list and Crain's list of New York City's "100 Most Influential Women in Business."

Black is a graduate of Trinity College, Washington, D.C., and holds nine honorary degrees.

She's being pushed by a line up of big names, including Mayor Bloomber's three immediate predessssors Rudolf Guiliani, David Dinkins, and Edward Koch, and the tv talk show host Oprah Windfrey

So why are the elites pushing her so hard? According to Mayor Bloomberg:
"I have thought of Cathie Black someone I have known for a long time." "I could check in terms of what she's really done, what people have thought about her during her whole career. The check was reletively easy because they happen to be people that I know."

Lost in all of the criticism is her experiance with education via the field of PUBLISHING- expressed through her high level positions since at least the early 1970s with Ms. Magazine and later with USA Today and Hearst Communications.

Do not forget William Randolf Hearst and is role in shaping people's perceptions- and in doing so to the advantage of Rome.

Hearst was a master of that dubious form of 'education' otherwise known as yellow journalism', who through his publishing empire used such to get people not to think but rather react. Often this was for inducing people to support or aquiesce to various wars. Via such yellow journalism, Hearst helped engender the Spanish American War, the U.S. entry into the 'Great War' (WW1- or otherwise Act 1 of Wlodimir Ledochowski's 2nd 30 Year Counter Reformation War), and of course the cigarette - pharamecutical market protectionism inquisition -- the 'drug war', via his demonification of alternative substances. Accordingly:

William Randolf Hearst, Lammont Dupont, Henry J. Anslinger, and hemp

What is hemp?

Hemp is the non-drug variety of the plant Cannabis sativa L.

It is an annual herbaceous plant that can grow to a height of one to five meters in a 120 day growing season. it can be grown in all 50 states without pesticides or herbicides. Currently it is cultivated in more than 30 countries not including the United States.

A brief history of hemp.

The hemp plant is the most versatile crop in the entire plant kingdom.

Our country was founded on hemp. George Washington was the largest hemp farmer in he world during the late 1700's. Thomas Jefferson called on farmers to "plant hemp seed, not tobacco". In fact, hemp was legal tender for almost 200 years in the United States. That's right, you could even pay your taxes with hemp! In the late 1800's hemp production slipped due to a lack of processing technology; paper production began using cheaper trees and cotton. From 1901 to 1937, the U.S. Department of Agriculture repeatedly predicted that once machinery capable of harvesting, stripping, and separating hemp fiber was engineered, hemp production would again be America's number one cash crop.

Then, in a February 1938 article entitled New Billion Dollar Crop, Popular Mechanics magazine reported on the new hemp harvesting technology being developed by International Harvester. But some people had plans to make this plant illegal for farmers to cultivate.

Who made the hemp crop illegal?

Three men, Henry J. Anslinger, Lammont DuPont, and William Randolph Hearst, made growing hemp illegal. Anslinger was the head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. DuPont and Hearst were the owners of the largest chemical company and newspaper, respectively.

Why would these men want hemp made illegal?

Trees had become the number one paper source during this time.

Hearst, in addition to owning a nationwide chain of newspapers, also owned every bit of timber used to make them. The new threat of cheap hemp meant that trees would no longer be the cheapest source of paper. DuPont had patented the process for producing synthetic nylon from oil and coal as well as a new improved sulfate process to make paper from wood pulp. If DuPont would have had to compete against environmentally-friendly hemp products, his business would have
suffered.

How did they make hemp illegal?

Hearst began printing outlandish stories with headlines such as "Marijuana goads user to blood lust" and "Hotel clerk identifies Marijuana smoker as gunman". He also took advantage of the country's prejudice against blacks and immigrants by printing that marijuana-crazed negroes were raping white women and by painting pictures of lazy, pot-smoking Mexicans. DuPont's banker Andrew Mellon happened to be Secretary of the Treasury under Herbert Hoover. Mellon also had a nephew-in-law, Henry Anslinger, who had the Marijuana Tax Law of 1937 passed. When asked what this meant for industrial hemp farmers, Anslinger flatly declared "They can continue to raise hemp just as they have always done it. It makes very fine cordage and this legislation exempts the mature stalk when it is grown for hemp purposes." However, due to the overall similarity in appearance between hemp and marijuana, the entire Cannabis family was made illegal. Hemp made a brief resurgence during World War II after Japan cut of supplies for raw fibers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture released the short film Hemp For Victory encouraging all farmers to grow hemp for the war effort. However, it went back to its illegal standing after the war.

The example of Marijuanna shows how Hearst stood against truth as a consumate liar for the powers that be, demonifying this safe and useful herb at the time of the greatest explosion in the sales of addictive and reletively useless Virginia Bright Leaf cigarettes (ultimately adulterated with UNlabeled additives to increase consumption!), stands alongside the strange treatment by much of the English language MSM towards the Germany's- that is the 1871-1918 KaiserReich, IOW the 2nd Reich, with the 1933-1945 3rd Reich of the Furher Adolf Hitler.

Such a disparate treatment of these two Reichs and their political heads, depicting Hitler as a gentleman, yet all the while earlier vilifying the Kaiser and the Kaiser Reich's founder Otto Von Bismarck made no sense, gven their reletive records. It was Bismarck and his Prussia that introduced social legislation and granted emancipation to Jewish peoples, while later protecting such in the areas of their military occupation of eastern Europe frm 1915-1918; yet the 3rd Reich would initiate anti-Jewish legislation by 1935 and later WW2 with its targeting peoples for extermination (while persuing other strategies with akin results).

This seemingly illogical treatment and portrayals of the 2nd and 3rd Reichs -- the opposite of what it should have been -- makes sense when considered in the context of the ruling Romish-Masonic ruling class and its evermore consolidation of power via its networksing of infiltrations of society through its empire of religious and fraternal order- of which Hearst was close with Vatican hierarchy having had numerous dinners with such officials in regalia at his castle, as a 'knight' of the Sovereign Military and Hospitaler Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, known also as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta- the Knights of Malta.

Considered in this broader context, the appointment of Cathie Black makes perfect sense as part of the ancient regime's continuing counter reformation's emphasis upon education displayed by its Jesuit Order of Ignatius Loyola. After all how do we end up with things as 'historians' insistng that Europes last great religious war ended in 1648, and other such referorances to the counter reformation strictly in the past tense?

You end up with such with a ancient regime adept at screwing over the many while getting them to not even realize it.

Tupper Saussy just begms to touch upon this in his book Rulers of Evil.

SMOM Seeks Grand Master #79

'Secretive' Order of Knights Seeks New Grand Master

Fra Andrew Bertie, Grand Master of the Order of Malta, who died today, pictured during a private audience with the Pope

The Order of the Knights of Malta, the powerful, wealthy and mysterious Roman Catholic body that traces its origins to the Crusades, has begun a papal style search for a new leader to combat its “secretive” image after the death of its Grand Master.

Fra Andrew Bertie, 78, the first Briton to head the order and a descendant of the exiled Stuarts, died in a clinic, in Rome where the order has been based for the past 174 years. Elected Grand Master in 1988, he recently complained that the Knights’ charitable activities were overlooked by “conspiracy theorists” who suspected that its humanitarian missions in Iraq and Afghanistan were a cover for “mercenary” activities.

Last month in his traditional New Year's Day address, he said that “misinformation” about the Order of Malta was putting the lives of its volunteers “in grave danger”.

Addressing diplomats accredited to the order, he blamed “confusions created by the media, careless of verifying their sources,” which he said could have “mortal consequences.” He said: “Terrorism — or more exactly, terrorists — deliberately attack civilian populations, including women and children; they make no distinction between combatants and civilians. . . Humanitarian workers on the ground, among whom are members and volunteers of the Order of Malta, are perceived as legitimate targets. They are attacked, ransomed, kidnapped, in occurrences that are becoming more and more frequent; numbers of them have lost their lives.”

He complained that “new conspiracy theories have sprung up over recent months associating the sovereign Order of Malta with a private society of mercenaries which it is said are operating in Iraq and Afghanistan for a foreign government. These assertions have absolutely no factual basis.”

The order has 12,500 members worldwide and is run by the “Council Complete of State”, an inner core made up of some sixty “professed knights” who have taken monk-like vows of poverty, obedience and chastity.

They have begun behind-the-scenes consultations that will culminate in a conclave of the council to vote on a new Grand Master, “in about six months' time” according to insiders. Grand Masters, like Popes, are elected for life. There is no equivalent of the white smoke from the Sistine Chapel chimney however, since the votes cast are not burned but kept in the order’s archives.

Grand Masters must be able to prove “noble lineage” going back at least two centuries. “The vote is secret, and stays secret until the new Grand Master has revealed his identity to the Pope,” a source said.

Born in 1929, Bertie was educated at Oxford and the University of London and served in the Scots Guards before joining the order in 1956. He worked as a schoolteacher and a financial journalist before taking his vows in 1981. His mother, Lady Jean Crichton-Stuart, was a descendant of the Stuarts.

A charming but intensely shy man, Bertie once told The Times at his frescoed palazzo on Via Condotti near the Spanish Steps that the order had “nothing to hide”. On the other hand its procedures are arcane and aristocratic, with members wearing black robes embroidered with a white eight-pointed cross. On the order’s 900th anniversary in 1999 it, briefly, opened the doors of its complex on the Aventine Hill, where visitors can normally do no more than bend to peep through a keyhole that frames a distant view of St Peter’s.

The order, whose full title is the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and Malta, has 93,000 volunteers involved in humanitarian and charity work around the world — often in conflict zones — ranging from ambulances and disaster relief to maternity hospitals and homes for disabled children. It issues its own passports and stamps, and has diplomatic relations with 99 countries and permanent observer status at the United Nations.

The order traces its origins to the 11th century when merchants from the Republic of Amalfi financed a hospital run by monks in Jerusalem to care for pilgrims to the Holy Land. The order dates its founding to 1099 when the monks took on a military role to protect the pilgrims. When the Crusaders were forced out of the Holy Land by Saladin after the fall of Acre, the order moved to Cyprus, then Rhodes and ultimately to Malta, where the knights reinforced the harbour at Valletta with the massive ramparts of Fort St Angelo, enabling them to withstand sieges by the Ottoman Turks, notably in 1565.

The Knights were eventually forced out of Malta by Napoleon, making their final move to Rome. To mark the 1999 anniversary Malta allowed the order to re-possess Fort St Angelo on a 99-year lease. The Grand Commander of the order, Fra Giacomo della Torre, was sworn in as interim head. The Grand Master, who is addressed as “Your Highness”, carries the title of prince and is considered by the Vatican to be equal in rank to a cardinal.

Andrew Bertie, 78th Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of Malta, Dies at Age of 78, February 7, 2008

Fra' Andrew Bertie, Grand Master of the Order of Malta, passes away

.- Fra’ Andrew Bertie, the Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of Malta, a man known for his holiness and the modernizing of the order, passed away on February 7 in Rome at the age of 78.

The Sovereign Order of Malta traces its roots back to 1050, when it was known as the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. The lay religious Order consists of 12,500 people who are either Professed Friars or lay men and women referred to as Knights and Dames. All members devote themselves to the exercise of Christian virtue and charity, spiritual perfection within the Church and to serving the poor and the sick, according to the Order’s website.

Fra’ Bertie brought a wide range of gifts to the Order. His educational background included studies at Ampleforth College, Christ Church Oxford and the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. After military service in the Scots Guards, he worked as a financial journalist in the City of London, before taking up the senior post in Modern Languages (French and Spanish) at Worth School, Sussex.

Andrew Bertie began his life in the Order of Malta in 1956 and took his solemn religious vows in 1981. When he was elected Grand Master of the Order in 1988, he became the first Englishman to hold the post in the group’s 900 year history.

Besides being known for his linguistic ability—he spoke five languages fluently—Fra’ Bertie is also acknowledged for his role in modernizing the Order’s humanitarian programs, increasing membership and extending the possibilities of aid to the poor and the needy in far-flung regions.

He is also credited with increasing the number of the Order’s bilateral diplomatic missions from 49 to 100. These missions have the delicate task of offering assistance to afflicted countries in times of natural disasters or armed conflicts.

The official announcement of the religious brother’s death describes him as, “A man of quiet reflection and wide interests, although of a certain British reserve,” who “was much loved by all who worked with him on his many projects.”

“When possible, he spent his holidays at his home in Malta, where he was very involved in organizing and teaching judo courses for children as well as tending his farm, whose four different varieties of oranges were a constant source of pride in good weather and anxiety in bad,” the announcement said.

Fra’ Andrew Willoughby Ninian Bertie was highly decorated and honored during his life. He received four honorary doctorates, several honorary citizenships and more than 50 decorations from other countries.

No mention of cause of death, nor medical details.
