Beware “experts” who want to sell you “spiritual knowledge”… the real deal’s just not for sale…

Got this from one of the Cabinet:
Did you know that one of Freddies’s sons became RC, at least for a while? He’d married a woman who was an Orthodox convert in a ROCOR parish, and they became RC after they had a child (or two). This was about 8 years ago. Don’t know how long they were RC… or if they still are. The son is David, daughter-in-law Marcella.
Freddie runs about, ranting that her opinions are so golden, that you have to pay her 25 bucks a head to hear them. That’s a lot of things (including sheer and unashamed chutzpah and brass), but it sure ain’t Orthodox. Vladyki Vitaly Maksimenko didn’t do that. Captain Nicholas Alexander didn’t do that. Madame Kolomzine didn’t do that. Fr Vladimir Sukhobok didn’t do that. I’ll say this… Freddie’s kids have strayed all over the Christian map (one’s Uniate, I’m told… if true, it’s a disgrace). That is, she’s nothing but an Episcopalian Branch Theory indifferentist. Trust me, I’d rather hobnob with real Anglicans, they’re merely what they are. No bishop should allow this poseur in their parishes… if she can’t set a good example and keep her kids in the Church, she shouldn’t be set up as an exemplar to emulate.
I’m no exemplar, model, or a wannabe “spokesman”… I’m just a slogger like all the rest who does her best to reach for the truth. I fail often, but I get up and do it again. That’s how its done. There… that’s the only wisdom I have to impart. It’s free… the way God wants it to be.

On Friday, the 2012 the European Union won the Nobel Peace Prize to for the advancement of “peace, democracy, and human rights in Europe”. In Oslo, Nobel Committee president Thorbjørn Jagland said, “The stabilising part played by the European Union has helped to transform a once-torn Europe from a continent of war to a continent of peace. Over a seventy-year period, Germany and France had fought three wars. Today, war between Germany and France is unthinkable. This shows how, through well-aimed efforts and by building up mutual confidence, historical enemies can become close partners”. Commenting on the award, President of the European Commission José Manuel Durão Barroso tweeted, “It’s a great honour for the entire EU, all 500 million citizens”. however, Russian human rights activists expressed surprise at the decision. Lev Ponomaryov, leader of the For Human Rights initiative said, “They should give the prize to people who often put their lives at risk in the actual struggle for peace, not to agencies”.

Editor’s Note:
This is proof, even for the slow learners, that the EU’s in the deep kimchi and in definite danger. The Nobel Committee senses a danger to the EU, and they’re trying to prop it up. The EU is nothing more than the German idea of Grossdeutschland and the occupation economy of World War II given new vesture. Look at how the EU pushes around Greece and threatens Spain and Italy. Germany thinks that it owns Europe and can do as it pleases, regardless of the consequence (the French have been their willing stooges in this… the British not so much). None dare call it the “Fourth Reich”…
