La liberté d’expression : Face aux menaces
Imen  Ladjimi, Article 19
Au-delà des techniques de gouvernance, ce sont les libertés fondamentales, dont la liberté d’expression, qui représentent la clé de voûte de toute démocratie authentique. Tout progrès ne peut s’engager que dans un environnement qui garantit et protège la liberté d’expression et d’information, par des médias libres, pluralistes, indépendants et professionnels mais aussi des politiques nationales fondées sur le respect de l’Etat de Droit et des standards internationaux.
Ces dernières années ont été mouvementé pour la région, La région Moyen-Orient et Afrique du Nord a été submergée par une vague de manifestations populaires en faveur de réformes sociales.
Si certains pays ont emboîté le pas des révolutions ou encore celui des réformes sociales, d’autres ont connu un bouleversement, pour certains, chaotique. Ces évènements ont considérablement impacté la liberté d’expression et d’information dans la région, dont le bilan actuel est mitigé : l’on peut qualifier la situation de la liberté d’expression et d’information dans la région d’équivoque et ce, de par les menaces auxquelles elle est confronté.
Quels types de menaces ? Comment y faire face ?
1- Les menaces sur la liberté d’expression et d’information :
A. Vulnérabilité / immaturité du cadre juridique :
Au jour d’aujourd’hui, certains pays ne prévoient que fort peu de garantis concernant le respect du droit d’expression et d’information, d’autres, à l’inverse l’énoncent, toutefois, sa mise en œuvre demeure enserré notamment, par les lois restrictives donnant aux autorités toute latitude pour interpréter et réprimer la liberté d’expression.
Ainsi des exceptions trop larges et peu précises telles que "le respect de l’identité nationale, des valeurs culturelles de la société, des exigences de la sécurité et de la défense nationale, de l’ordre public, des intérêts économiques ou encore de la souveraineté et de l’unité nationale" autorise des interprétations subjectives qui pourraient se traduire en pressions inacceptables.
Il va s’en dire que certains pays  ont connu la mise en place des nouveaux textes ou dispositions progressistes, inaugurant une situation nouvelle pour la liberté d’expression et d’information, résultant d’une forte empreinte du mouvement sociétal et politique qui aspire à un environnement propice à la liberté. Or la pratique est toute autre : d’un côté on persiste à appliquer les anciennes lois/ dispositions qui demeurent en vigueur, d’un autre ; l’implémentation du nouveau cadre juridique peine à se faire.  
B. bâillonnement des opinions diverses et divergentes :
  • Au niveau des diffuseurs d’informations professionnels : on assiste toujours au recours à l’intimidation physique ou psychologique, des arrestations, des interrogatoires et des accusations criminelles, à l’encontre des journalistes.  Par ailleurs on assiste toujours à la censure, à la confiscation ou bien même la suspension ou la fermeture de journaux et médias. Toute ces pratiques visent à réduire au silence toute voix discordante et à mettre la vérité hors de portée un effet dissuasif sur le droit à la liberté d’expression, des journalistes sont réprimés, censurés dans un but de les empêchés de faire leur travail et les citoyens ne peuvent pas, en l’occurrence, produire ou consulter librement des informations.

  • Au niveau des individus exerçants leurs droit liberté d’expression notamment via Internet et les nouvelles technologies de l’information et de la communication :  ces individus qui sont pour la plupart (les bloggeurs, les activistes dans les réseaux sociaux, ou de simples internautes)  sont à leur tour intimidé, des attaques physique à leurs encontre, des arrestations et interpellation arbitraires, peuvent entraîner une autocensure généralisée et l’inhibition de débats ouverts sur certaines questions d’intérêt général.
Les nouvelles technologies, se sont transformés en un moyen de surveillance et de répression, permettant aux services de sécurité d’identifier les opposants et ce à travers notamment les vidéos publiés. De même ils ont permis à certains régimes de décider de la mesure dans laquelle les citoyens peuvent jouir du droit à la liberté d’expression, à travers la mise en place de d’une autre forme de censure en vue d’empêcher le public d’avoir accès à plusieurs contenus de l’Internet.
C. L’intensification de la pression politique sur la liberté d’expression au motif de la lutte contre le terrorisme :
Des États ont répondu à ces situations de manière rapide et automatique, en imposant des restrictions disproportionnées à la liberté d’expression ; d’un côté un prétexte pour réprimer des expressions légitimes ainsi que les opinions critiques à l'égard de la politique, d’un autre côté, à mettre en péril le droit des journalistes à protéger la confidentialité de leurs sources.
Par ailleurs, la lutte contre le terrorisme a favorisé l'utilisation de techniques et procédures particulières d'enquête pour surveiller les médias et journalistes et porter ainsi atteinte à la liberté d'expression et au droit au respect de la vie privée.
2- Faire face aux menaces :
- Les standards internationaux doivent être consolidés dans les législations nationales, ils doivent de même, être renforcés et promus auprès des acteurs dont la mission consiste, en principe, à protéger et garantir le respect des droits humains. Ces derniers doivent d’une part ; disposé d’une meilleure compréhension quant aux obligations internationales de leur pays en matière de protection de la liberté d’expression, d’autre part ; être plus informé et attrait aux standards, pour ainsi réduire les interprétations disproportionnés des terminologies vagues et larges pouvant réprimer la liberté d’expression.
-Il doit aussi y avoir une volonté politique de soutenir la liberté d’expression et un Etat de Droit pour le protéger. Ici le rôle de la société civile est plus que considérable, il se manifeste notamment par le contrôle et la garantie de la protection effective de la liberté d’expression par les décideurs : si la mise en place d’un cadre juridique progressiste, par certains pays de la région est louable, elle reste néanmoins insuffisante, car elle doit refléter réellement et concrètement l’intention de mettre en œuvre les garanties de liberté d’expression qu’offrent leurs nouveaux textes. Ils doivent se débarrasser des anciennes lois contradictoires et veiller à l’implémentation effective de leurs nouveaux cadres juridiques.
- les consommateurs d’informations doivent avoir les compétences nécessaires pour produire et faire circuler les informations et nouer un dialogue avec les médias et la presse , mais aussi pour analyser de manière critique et synthétiser les informations qu’ils reçoivent : Pour se faire, il convient de favoriser la mise en place des mécanismes permettant la redevabilité des professionnels mais aussi l’interaction entre les consommateurs d’informations  et les diffuseurs d’information professionnels il est question ici des mécanismes de régulation et d’autorégulation. De même il convient de conscientiser et sensibilisé desdits consommateurs à travers l’éducation aux médias et à l’information.
- la censure n’est pas une réponse efficace à l’extrémisme : le pluralisme, la diversité des opinions, favorisent un débat ouvert et critique, qui constitue un élément important de toute stratégie adoptée en réponse aux attaques systématiques contre la liberté d’expression et leurs causes sous-jacentes. Autrement, la pénalisation de l’expression peut inciter à marginaliser des griefs et alimenter la violence. Par ailleurs les mesures qui doivent être prises dans le cadre de situations exceptionnelles telle que la lutte contre le terrorisme, ne doivent pas toucher à l’essence du droit à la liberté d’expression et devenir un prétexte pour élargir ses restrictions. Le champ d’application des dérogations à la liberté d’expression et d’information y compris, dans les situations exceptionnelles, doit se conformer à des principes basés sur le droit international, régional mais aussi sur les normes se rapportant à la protection des droits humains, en ce sens nous appelons ici à se référer aux principes de Johannesburg pour ainsi concilier entre Liberté et Sécurité.

Dangers des franc-maçonneries et clubs services... Rotary, Lions Club, Kiwanis ...

M. Gerhard ULRICH fait la lumière sur le régime de l’oligarchie occulte de la franc-maçonnerie et de ses clubs de services (Rotary, Lions Club, Kiwanis, etc.), qui dirigent le système judicaire actuel et les pouvoirs politiques. Le citoyen qui passe à la moulinette de la machine judiciaire bien huilée, ressent instinctivement qu’il est Victime d’un complot. Mais il est incapable de le prouver, car le système cultive soigneusement la non transparence. Si une telle personne invoque l’aide des politiciens, on se débarrasse d’elle sous prétexte du dogme de la séparation des pouvoirs. Les dogmes ont toujours servi à asservir les peuples.L’auteur de ces révélations observe depuis 16 ans le dysfonctionnement judiciaire, archivant systématiquement les résultats dans sa base de données, devenue volumineuse. A l’opposé d’autres critiques du régime, il s’est montré jusqu’à présent prudent concernant ses attaques au sujet de la Franc-maçonnerie. Il était conscient que ses connaissances de ce qui se passe dans nos prétoires, étaient assez modestes. Cependant, la persévérance et un travail continu lui permettent aujourd’hui de rejoindre la position de Marc-Etienne BURDET sur le sujet.

Le dossier de la Victime Jacques ROMANENS démontre une fois de plus les conséquences des coups portés aux Victimes par les Francs-Maçons qui occupent les sièges du pouvoir judiciaire. Leur activité crasse en faveur de leurs “Frères” de Secte, contribue à mettre les justiciables dans des situations insoutenables. Pour les Victimes judiciaires, il est peine perdue de vouloir prouver à leurs bourreaux qu’elles sont dans leur bon droit... 

C’est seulement en démontrant à l’Opinion publique que les magistrats détracteurs sont indignes et ne sont pas légitimés à exercer leurs fonctions que les choses changeront ! Nous lançons un APPEL AU PEUPLE POUR METTRE FIN À CETTE TYRANNIE !


Dénonciation de la tentative de liquidation de Jacques ROMANENS

Jacques ROMANENS était atteint par des maladies rares qui le rendaient handicapé et vulnérable, exposé au risque de fausses routes. Selon sa volonté, il continuait à vivre chez lui, à Renens, en recevant des soins à domicile. Le 17 juin 2011, l’infirmière Augustine ANKER, av. de Montchosi 63, Lausanne, et l’aide-soignante Aurore BARBE du CMS Renens Nord, ont tenté de liquider ce patient encombrant par simulation de noyade. Il a miraculeusement survécu et pu témoigner et expliquer comment ces anges de la mort ont procédé. Elles ont bénéficié du soutien scandaleux de leur hiérarchie: Manon FAWER, directrice, ch. des Glycines 10, 1022 Chavannes-près-RenensFrancine JECKER, responsable du DSAS, Grand’Rue 3, 1162 St-Prex Karim BOUBAKER, médecin cantonal. Se servant d’une expertise de complaisance établie par le médecin légiste Patrice MANGIN, le «procureur» Pascal GILLIÉRON a débouté la plainte de Jacques ROMANENS par une ordonnance de classement, approuvée par le « Procureur général » Eric COTTIER, Av. de Jaman 11, Lausanne, en faveur d’ANKER. Cela dans le but d’éviter tout risque d’un débat public lors d’un procès. Les recours du plaignant furent enterrés par les «juges» cantonaux Bernard ABRECHT, r. du Vieux-Bourg 1, Cully, Joël KRIEGER, av. Gratta-Paille 11, Lausanne et Guillaume PERROT. Puis le « juge » fédéral Christian DENYS, ch. des Crêtes 2a, Lausanne, qui couvre déjà les nombreux cas de corruption vaudois, a épaulé ses complices vaudois. Les Conseillers d’Etat Pierre-Yves MAILLARD, r. du Lac 42, Renens et Béatrice MÉTRAUX, ch. du Ru 17, Bottens ont été mis au courant de cette tentative de liquidation. Tous deux se sont barricadés derrière la chimérique séparation des pouvoirs et sont ainsi devenus complices de tentative d’assassinat, aux dépens de Jacques ROMANENS. ...


Morts par euthanasies actives illégales de mes deux parents
Mes deux parents sont morts dans des circonstances très étranges. Le décès de mon père le le 5 février 2006 est vraiment suspect. Nous n'avons toujours pas reçu le rapport final de l'autopsie que nous attendons des autorités vaudoises depuis le mois de février 2006 qui a été demandé plusieurs fois sur recommandation du médecin qui a trouvé louche ce décès au milieu de la nuit et les deux médicaments antagonistes.
Hospitalisé au CHUV pour un très grave refroidissement sur demande d'un médecin, il est renvoyé quelques heures plus tard dans une ambulance glaciale à St Loup, hospitalisé loin des siens pour des motifs sordides et faux d'économies, vu les pressions des banques et de leurs bénéfices honteux par de la « création » monétaire du néant, qui violent la morale…( voir la démonstration ci-dessous ). Il est alors « parqué » dans une chambre d'angle et au coin Nord glaciale, fenêtre presque toujours ouverte et sans chauffage. Il lui était impossible de dormir tellement il avait froid. Le chauffage n'est ouvert que 3 jours plus tard (témoin externe à la famille).
On lui fait une interdiction d'employer des plantes qu’il utilisait depuis des mois avec succès (notamment. l'épilobe). Vu le froid, il s'infecte et il est opéré en urgence pour vider la vessie d'un drain qui reste extérieur et ouvert jusqu'à sa mort, porte ouverte aux infections.
Il est à nouveau infecté et transféré à Béthanie qui n'est pas un hôpital où il subit un traitement tardif de cette infection avec forte fièvre seulement sur ma demande insistante.
Nouveau transfert sans nous consulter à Sylvana d'un vieux Monsieur qui n'aime pas être transbahuté comme un colis au plus froid de l'hiver, tout ceci à quelques jours d'intervalles, et voici un décès très suspect vu l'administration de médicaments contradictoires ( notamment par un fort diurétique et une forte hausse de tension provoquée par un autre produit) et la visite d'une femme docteur qui insistait fortement et longuement pour faire de l'euthanasie active.
Il faut rappeler que tout ceci se déroule lors d' une élection où mon père était candidat aux élections.
Sans oublier d'autres faits troublants, concernant notre mère, qui a subi de graves mauvais traitements, avec notamment un bras cassé à l'EMS de Mont-Calme, l'ingestion de médicaments douteux et un quasi emprisonnement à l'Orme.
En effet, elle est entrée dans cet établissement en sachant marcher, et j'ai découvert de retour d'un voyage qu'elle y a été ligotée sur son lit ou sur sa chaise et en est ressortie quelques semaines plus tard impotente, avec des cloques et des esquarres…
On peut se demander si la pire conséquence ne serait pas une maladie dite d'Alzheimer. Celle-ci s'est aggravée par un traitement indélicat d'un dentiste ..., M. X..., soit une narcose avec ablation totale des dents, en profitant de l'état de faiblesse de notre mère.
Puis, par un grave accident sur la paroisse du St Rédempteur, dû à une mauvaise construction et conception d'un escalier toujours sans rambarde, qui a motivé à nouveau une narcose dommageable au cerveau de notre mère. L’escalier sur le côté de l'Église de la paroisse du St Rédempteur est toujours sans rambarde pour économiser…
Et voici que l'EMS arrête totalement de la nourrir sur ordre de la direction pendant les fêtes de Noël, sans rien nous demander car en restrictions de personnel...et elle meurt le 3 janvier…

Conséquences de la censure

La censure de l’Internet viole les Droits constitutionnels des Citoyens, l’accès au savoir, à la culture et au Droit fondamental à l’information.Malgré ce droit à l’information garanti par l’article 19 de la Déclaration universelle des droits de la personne, le nombre des pays qui emploient des mesures de censure sur Internet n’a pas cessé d’augmenter au cours des quelques dernières années. Alors les techniques et outils de contournement créés, déployés et distribués par des activistes, des programmeurs et des bénévoles un peu partout dans le monde, sont de plus en plus répandus.
Raisons de la censure

Elle peut être mise en place par le fournisseur d'accès à internet (FAI) pour des raisons économiques ou sur injonction d'une autorité arbitraire qui agit en fonction de conflits d’intérêts.


Comment se pratique la censure

Pour bloquer un site, l'intermédiaire technique (le FAI) envoie des données mensongères en réponse aux requêtes de l'internaute. C'est une atteinte à la neutralité du réseau.

Silence et écoute : le message de paix de Frère Nicolas. 


Pasteur Martin Hoegger


à 21h00, au Mont sur Lausanne, ce 1er août
Nicolas et Dorothee
J’aimerais vous parler d’un prophète. Qu’est-ce qu’un prophète ? Un prophète étonne, dérange et provoque ! En ce soir de fête nationale, je parlerai d’un prophète suisse. Sans doute le plus grand que notre pays ait donné. Il y a 600 ans, en 1417, naissait Nicolas de Flue.
 Sa vie continue à nous provoquer.
Pourquoi ce paysan, ce magistrat, père de 10 enfants décide-t-il un jour de vivre en ermite, à 500 mètres de sa maison, alors que son dernier enfant n’a que quelques mois ?
Comment comprendre son jeûne complet de plus de 20 ans qu’il a vécu sans le vouloir ?
N’est-ce pas choquant et dérangeant ?
Pourtant c’est lui que la Providence a choisi pour éviter une guerre fratricide entre les cantons de la Suisse d’alors.
Sans lui, la Suisse n’existerait sans doute pas telle qu’elle est aujourd’hui.

Un silence et une écoute qui fondent la Suisse

J’aimerais souligner deux points de la vie de Frère Nicolas – Bruder Klaus, comme on l’appelait : son silence et son écoute.
Deux points qui ont fondé la Suisse il y a 600 ans, et sans lesquels notre pays ne subsisterait pas aujourd’hui.
Tout d’abord son silence.
N’est-il pas paradoxal de parler du silence le premier août au milieu des pétards des feux d’artifices ?
Etes-vous déjà allé au Ranft, où il a vécu ? Près de Sarnen en Suisse centrale.
C’est un lieu de beauté et de silence.
Si vous ne le connaissez pas, je vous conseille d’y aller.
Le 9 septembre prochain, il y aura d’ailleurs lieu une grande journée œcuménique sur le message actuel de frère Nicolas. C’est une bonne occasion de le découvrir.
Aujourd’hui le silence est essentiel. Seuls ceux qui savent faire silence ne sont pas entraînés par les modes, l’impatience des foules, les harangues des tribuns, les emballements des réseaux sociaux, les avidités de toutes sortes.
Les vrais créateurs, les artistes, les chercheurs, les grands politiciens savent la valeur du silence.
Puis le deuxième point est l’écoute.
Parce qu’il savait la valeur du silence, frère Nicolas savait écouter.
Il écoutait Dieu lui parler à travers sa Parole qu’il entendait tous les jours dans la chapelle du Ranft.
S’il a pu se priver de nourriture pendant 20 ans, il n’a pas pu vivre un seul jour sans le pain de la Parole de Dieu.
Nous sommes faits ainsi : nous pouvons jeûner de pain, mais pas d’eau et d’esprit !
Parce qu’il était un homme qui savait écouter, bientôt le monde viendra à lui, car les confédérés voyaient vraiment en lui leur frère.
Il avait tout connu comme eux : les champs de bataille, les fatigues nécessaires pour assurer le pain quotidien d’une famille nombreuse, les responsabilités de la vie politique.
Il était leur frère, il pouvait les comprendre, se faire tout à tous, et même, certaines fois, exercer le don de lire dans les cœurs.
Chaque personne qui vient à lui, est accueillie comme un frère ou une sœur.

Chercher la paix.

Dans le silence et l’écoute frère Nicolas vit depuis 14 ans dans son ermitage. C’est alors qu’il jouera le rôle décisif qui fera de lui le «père de la patrie».
Ces années ont creusé en lui un sillon profond et un intense désir de partager la paix avec tous.
Son message est simple : la paix est à la fois un don de Dieu et une responsabilité de chacun.
Voilà ce qu’il dit à tous : « La paix se trouve toujours en Dieu, car Dieu est la paix ».
Ce message a été compris par les responsables des cantons qui étaient sur le point de faire la guerre les uns contre les autres. Ils sont retournés chez eux dans la paix.
Mais que signifie aujourd’hui chercher la paix dans un pays en paix comme le nôtre ?
Aujourd’hui comme au temps de frère Nicolas, chercher la paix signifie vivre dans la confiance, l’honnêteté, la justice, la pureté, la solidarité, l’attention aux plus faibles.
La Suisse d’aujourd’hui a besoin de prophètes comme frère Nicolas. L’Europe a aussi besoin de prophètes pour réaliser sa juste vocation.
Qui serons ces prophètes ?
Voulons-nous être ces prophètes ?
Si nous nous encourageons les uns les autres à chercher cette paix en Dieu, nous pouvons devenir ensemble ces prophètes !
Alors un feu s’allumera dans notre cœur.
Ce feu qui sera symbolisé dans un moment par ce grand feu qui sera allumé sur la place du Châtaignier !
Pasteur Martin Hoegger, Pasteur de l’Eglise évangélique réformée du canton de Vaud (EERV). (BIO)

Le sou et la fontaine de vie


LA FONTAINE DE VIE.
La place publique- Le frère se lève la nuit pour méditer sur la Passion et sur le martyre de Dieu. Au moment de se rendormir, il aperçoit en esprit une place: une foule de gens s'y livrent à de durs travaux, mais il s'étonne de les trouver si pauvres.
La vasque où se déverse la Fontaine. - Alors, à main droite, il vit une belle maison dont la porte était grande ouverte. Il entra et se trouva dans une cuisine, appartenant à toute une commune.
A droite, un escalier de quatre marches « ou à peu près »
Quelques rares hommes y montaient. Leur vêtement semblait aspergé de blanc.
Il vit une Fontaine sortir des marches et remplir une grande vasque dans la cuisine. Elle apportait trois choses: vin, huile, miel. Elle coulait aussi vite que l'éclair, et si haut que le palais en résonnait comme un cor. Il s'étonna que les gens, pourtant si pauvres, ne vinssent pas à la Fontaine, ouverte à tout le monde.
La source de la Fontaine. - Alors, il monta les marches pour voir d'où venait la Fontaine, Il parvint dans une grande salle. Au milieu, était un réservoir . Il s'en approcha au risque de s'enliser. Aux quatre angles, il remarqua quatre puissants étais de fer. La Source était si transparente qu'on aurait pu y apercevoir au fond le moindre cheveu'; et elle chantait merveilleusement dans le réservoir et dans le canai où elle s'écoulait. Elle était inépuisable et pleine jusqu'aux bords, bien qu'elle sortît par toutes les fentes.
Le monde périt de misère à c6té de la Fontaine de Vie. - Alors, il voulut redescendre pour voir ce qui retenait les hommes de venir puiser à la Fontaine. L'un avait dressé une barrière au travers de la place et il ne laissait passer personne sans réclamer le sou. Un autre faisait tournoyer son gourdin, pour exiger le sou. Un autre jouait du fifre, pour avoir le sou. Des tailleurs, des cordonniers, des artisans lui réclamèrent le sou. Et avant d'avoir fini, ils étaient déjà redevenus si pauvres qu'ils ne réussissaient même pas à s'enrichir temporellement. Mais personne ne venait puiser à la Fontaine.
Conclusion. - Alors la scène changea, l'homme vit des pentes sauvages semblables à celles qui entourent la chapelle et l'ermitage de frère Nicolas, et il comprit que le palais était frère Nicolas.
On ne peut servir Dieu et l'argent. La Fontaine, c'est la vie divine accessible largement, la vie trinitaire , capable de rénover la vie sociale, comme l'indiquent les appropriations :
mémoire, intelligence, volonté
autorité, obéissance, amour
puissance, sagesse,bonté
éternité, beauté, jouissance
unité, égalité, union.
Le manuel de la cellule trinitaire de votre serviteur détaille cela dans les pages 16 à 44. La recherche effrénér du sou ne peut conduire qu'à la ruine, à l'abattage, aux tremblements.
Le monde présentement se détourne des vraies réalités, et adore de fausses divinités : l'Etat, la Terre, le Peuple, etc et pousse en fait à la recherche du chaos.

Nicolas de Flue et la Trinité (25.3.01)

D'après le livre Saint Nicolas de Flue de Charles Journet (Fribourg 1966), le saint ermite eut des visions faisant mention de la Sainte Trinité:
I ...Une autre fois, occupé à quelque travail domestique, il aperçut trois hommes d'une étrange noblesse, qu'il ne reconnut pas tout de suite. Le premier lui dit: «Nicolas, veux-tu te livrer tout entier, esprit et corps, en notre pouvoir ? » Il répondit sur-le-champ ces fières paroles: « je ne me livre à personne, sauf au Dieu tout-puissant, dont je désire depuis longtemps être serviteur, corps et âme ». Alors les trois personnes éclatèrent d'un rire joyeux. Et la première lui annonça qu'à soixante-dix ans il serait délivré des afflictions, et recevrait comme trophée la patte d'ours et l'étendard de la puissante armée. «Mais c'est la croix que je te laisse maintenant, pour la porter en mémoire de nous » .
Vie, de Wölflin, Durrer, p. 537. Durrer note qu'on clouait aux portes des granges la patte des bêtes dangereuses, en guise de trophée.
On peut remarquer ici que Nicolas est favorisé d'une vision directe des trois Trois Personnes de la Trinité, tout comme Abraham (Gen. 18, 1-5), et que le Ciel n'est pas triste.
II ... Le Pèlerin et la Trinité. - Il lui parut en esprit qu'un Pèlerin arrivait, venant de l'Orient. Il tenait son bâton à la main, son chapeau était attaché et pendait par derrière, comme lorsqu'on est en route. Il était caché par son manteau. Alors il chanta l'Alléluia. Sa voix était soutenue par les petites orgues de l'univers. Et les trois noms parfaits des personnes divines sortirent et rentrèrent dans le sein de l'unique AIléluia.
Dieu nous demande l'aumône. - Alors le Pèlerin demanda l'aumône. Et voici que l'homme trouva un sou dans sa main, sans savoir comment il lui était venu. Le Pèlerin tendit son chapeau pour y recevoir le sou. Et l'homme fut émerveillé qu'il pût y avoir un si grand honneur à tendre ainsi son chapeau pour y recevoir un sou. Il voulut savoir qui était le Pèlerin et d'où il venait. Mais il n'obtint que cette réponse: « je viens de là-bas ».
La vision du Dieu incarné et de son corps mystique. - L'homme tient ses yeux attachés sur le Pèlerin. Et soudain le manteau qui le cachait tombe, laissant apparaîÎtre le mystère du Verbe fait chair revêtu de la robe couleur de cendre de notre humanité, descendu jusque dans les affres de la douleur, qui lui confèrent une nouvelle noblesse (nigra sum sed formosa), et entouré de ses membres qui lui sont une singulière parure. Mais suivons le texte de la vision: " Et voici que le Pèlerin s'était transformé. Sa tête était nue. Il avait une tunique gris bleu. Il n'avait plus son manteau. Et c'était un homme tellement noble, si bien fait, qu'on ne pouvait faire autre chose que de le regarder avec joie et avec complaisance. Son visage brun ajoutait à sa noblesse. Ses yeux étaient noirs comme la pierre d'aimant et ses membres si bien faits qu'il lui en revenait une étrange beauté. Et bien qu'il fût vêtu, son vêtement n'empêchait pas de voir ses membres . »
Le monde est déjà jugé. - Et le Pèlerin posa ses yeux sur l'homme. Alors se produisirent plusieurs grands prodiges. La montagne du Pilate s'aplatit, le monde entier se découvrit, et tout le péché qui était en lui se manifesta. Une grande masse d'hommes parurent. La Vérité était derrière eux, et leurs visages étaient détournés d'elle. Chacun avait un abcès au cœur, gros comme deux poings réunis. C'était l'intérêt propre, qui égare les gens au point qu'ils ne peuvent pas plus supporter la face de l'Homme qu'on ne peut supporter le feu. Ils rôdaient anxieux, furieux, et on les voyait finalement disparaître au loin, couverts de honte et d'ignominie. Et la Vérité, à qui ils tournaient le dos, demeurait là.
La Passion du Sauveur. - Alors le visage du Pèlerin devint pareil à un voile de Véronique, et l'homme éprouvait un grand désir de le contempler davantage.

La victoire du Christ ressuscité. - Et il le vit de nouveau comme auparavant. Mais ses vêtements étaient changés. Il était vêtu d'une peau d'ours, chausses et tunique. Elle était aspergée d'or. Elle lui allait si bien qu'elle lui ajoutait une beauté particulière .
La gloire qui élève le Christ au ciel Pourra illuminer ceux qui l'entoureront. - Et l'homme sentit que le Pèlerin voulait prendre congé de lui. Il lui demanda : « Où veux-tu aller ? » Et la réponse fut: « je veux monter dans le pays. » L'homme le suivit des yeux. La peau d'ours resplendissait plus ou moins: comme il arrive lorsqu'on marche avec une armure reluisante, dont la clarté se reflète au mur. L'homme comprit qu'il y avait en cela quelque chose qui lui restait voilé. Quand le Pèlerin se fut éloigné de quatre pas, ou à peu près, il se retourna. Il avait alors son chapeau sur la tête, il l'enleva et il s'inclina vers l'homme.
L'amour du Pèlerin pour les hommes. - Alors l'homme comprit l'amour que lui portait le Pèlerin, et il en fut bouleversé, voyant qu'il en était indigne. Il connut en esprit que le visage du Pèlerin, ses yeux, tout son corps étaient pleins d'une humilité empreinte d'amour, comme un vase si rempli de miel qu'on ne pourrait y ajouter une goutte. A ce moment, il n'aperçut plus le Pèlerin. Mais il était si rassasié qu'il n'attendait plus rien. Il.lui semblait qu'on lui avait découvert tout ce qu'il y avait au ciel et sur la terre.
... Et les trois noms parfaits des personnes divines sortirent et rentrèrent dans le sein de l'unique AIléluia.

Attardons-nous sur le mystère de la Sainte Trinité, dont les représentations sont très variées. Par exemple, on voit Dieu le Père sous les traits d'un homme majestueux, avec une barbe splendide, et le Fils sous l'apparence d'un homme jeune, conformément à ce que dit l'Ecriture : Celui qui m'a vu a vu le Père (Joh. 14, 9).. Le Saint-Esprit devient ici comme une colombe. Parfois Dieu le Père serre son Fils sur son coeur. Les artistes se sont souvent évertués à donner d'autres images, évoquant en général l'Incarnation rédemptrice : le Père, Créateur ; le Fils Rédempteur et le Saint-Esprit, Consolateur. Les musulmans ont beau jeu d'accuser les chrétiens d'adorer trois dieux ...
Or on oublie souvent que la Trinité préexiste à la Création et à toute l'histoire humaine, à la Chute, et à la Rédemption. Considérons donc la Sainte Trinité en dehors du temps, en dehors de la Création. Il y a Dieu, l'Unique, le Vivant, dont la Vie s'exprime en trois Personnes : Dieu engendrant n'est autre que la Personne du Père; Dieu engendré est une Personne : le Fils, et l'Acte même de génération est la Personne du Saint-Esprit, procédant donc du Père et du Fils. Charles Journet développe en somme cela et présente des schémas explicatifs, que je vais essayer de vous commenter.
Le premier schéma représente les trois Personnes centrées en Dieu l'Unique, la parfaite égalité des Trois étant mise en évidence. (Figure 1).

Un second schéma explique la distinction des personnes : le Père n'est pas le Fils, etc, mais chaque personne étant Dieu (Figure 2).
Le symbole de Saint Athanase détaille cela d'une manière grandiose :

Symbole de St Athanase
Quiconque veut faire son salut Doit avant tout conserver la foi catholique; Car, s'il ne la garde pas pure et sans tache, il court sans aucun doute à la mort éternelle.
Cette foi catholique consiste en ceci: "Adorer un Dieu unique en Trois personnes, et Trois Personnes ne formant qu'un seul Dieu, Sans confondre les Personnes, Mais sans diviser la substance.
Autre, en effet, est la Personne du Père, autre celle du Fils, Autre celle du Saint-Esprit, Mais le Père, le Fils et le Saint Esprit Ont une seule nature divine, Une égale gloire, une même éternelle majesté.
Tel le Père, tel le Fils, Et tel le Saint-Esprit. Le Père est incréé, le Fils est incréé, Le Saint-Esprit est incréé. Le Père est infini, le Fils est infini, Le Saint-Esprit est infini. Le Père est éternel, le Fils est éternel, Le Saint-Esprit est éternel.
Et cependant il n'y a pas trois éternels, Mais un seul Eternel, Ni trois incréés, ni trois infinis, Mais un seul Incréé, un seul Infini.
De même, le Père est tout-puissant, le Fils est tout-puissant, Le Saint-Esprit est tout-Puissant
Et cependant il n'y a pas trois tout-puissants,
Mais un seul Tout-Puissant.
C'est ainsi que le Père est Dieu, le Fils est Dieu,
Le Saint-Esprit est Dieu,
Et cependant il n'y a pas trois dieux,
Mais un seul Dieu.
C'est ainsi que le Père est Seigneur, le Fils est Seigneur,
Le Saint-Esprit est Seigneur,
Et cependant il n'y a pas trois seigneurs,
Mais un seul Seigneur.
Car de même que la vérité chrétienne nous oblige à reconnaître Que chaque Personne, prise en soi, est Dieu et Seigneur, De même la religion catholique nous interdit de penser Qu'il y a trois dieux ou trois seigneurs.
Le Père n'a pas été fait, ni créé ni engendré.
Le Fils est du Père seul, non fait ni créé, mais engendré par Lui.
L'Esprit-Saint est du Père et du Fils,
Non qu'Il ait été fait, ni créé, ni engendré par eux,
Mais Il en procède.
Il y a donc un Père, et non trois, un Fils, et non trois,
Un Saint-Esprit, et non trois.
Et dans cette Trinité, il n'v a ni avant, ni après, ni plus, ni moins, Mais en tout les trois Personnes sont coéternelles et égales, Si bien qu'en tout, comme on l'a déjà proclamé, On doit adorer l'Unité dans la Trinité Et la Trinité dans l'Unité. Telle est, si l'on veut faire son salut, La doctrine que l'on doit tenir au sujet de la Trinité.
Mais il faut de plus, pour gagner le salut éternel, Avoir une foi ferme en l'Incarnation de Notre-Seigneur Jésus-Christ. La rectitude de cette foi Veut que l'on reconnaisse et proclame Que Notre-Seigneur Jésus-Christ, le Fils de Dieu, Est Dieu et homme.
Comme Dieu, il est engendré de la substance du Père de toute éternité Comme homme, il est né dans le temps du corps d'une mère. Dieu complet, il est aussi homme complet, Composé d'une âme raisonnable et d'un corps humain. Egal au Père en tant que Dieu, Il est inférieur au Père en tant qu'homme.
Et bien qu'il soit Dieu et homme, Il n'y a cependant pas deux Christs, mais un seul. Unique, non parce que Dieu se serait changé en être charnel, Mais parce que Dieu a assumé la nature humaine. Parfaitement unique, non par la confusion des deux natures, -Mais dans l'unité d'une seule Personne. En effet, de même qu'un homme unique Est à la fois âme raisonnable et corps, De même le Christ unique est à la fois Dieu et homme.
Il a subi le supplice pour nous sauver, Est descendu chez les morts; Le troisième jour, Il en est ressuscité; Il est monté aux cieux; Il siège à la droite de Dieu le Père Tout-Puissant; Il en reviendra, pour juger les vivants et les morts.
A son retour, tous les hommes doivent ressusciter avec leur corps Et rendre compte de leurs actes, Et ceux qui auront fait le bien iront à la vie éternelle, Tandis que ceux qui auront fait le mal iront au feu éternel.
Telle est la foi catholique, Qu'il faut garder sans défaut ni faiblesse, Faute de quoi on ne peut faire son salut.
Mais le schéma circulaire ci-dessus peut être enrichi par association de mystères adjacents (Figure 3).
« Maintenant, je vais aussi te parler de la pure servante Marie, qui est une reine du ciel et de la terre. Elle a été prévue par la divine Sagesse. Elle fut investie par cette divine Sagesse dès l'instant où Dieu décida de la créer. Elle a d'abord été conçue dans la pensée du Dieu très haut, avant de l'être dans le sein de sa propre mère. Et toute la grâce qui lui était destinée d'avance est entrée en elle comme un puissant secours au moment où elle fut conçue. C'est pourquoi elle est pure, délicate et immaculée. Ainsi la vertu du Très-Haut est sortie, elle l'a enveloppée, elle l'a remplie avec Puissance de l'Esprit saint. Vois, dans la roue, le rayon qui part du cercle intérieur: il est large à sa base, et il se termine en fine pointe; or, selon la signification et selon la forme des rayons, représente-toi le Dieu tout-puissant: il couvre et il embrasse tous les cieux; pourtant, comme un tout petit enfant, voici qu'il entre dans la très haute Vierge et qu'il naît d'elle sans briser sa virginité » . Voilà la première merveille, c'est un petit enfant.
La seconde merveille, c'est la petite hostie. « Et voici que son corps délicat, il nous l'a donné en nourriture, joint à la divinité qui en est inséparable. Vois cet autre rayon qui lui aussi est large près du cercle intérieur et petit contre le cercle extérieur, vers le dehors: ainsi la grande puissance du Dieu tout-puissant est contenue sous les apparences de la petite hostie » .
La troisième merveille, c'est que la fragilité de la vie puisse être ordonnée à une récompense éternelle. En cela tient toute la raison d'être de la création. «Et maintenant remarque un autre rayon de la roue, qui lui aussi est large près du cercle intérieur et petit vers l'extérieur: c'est le symbole de notre vie, tout à fait courte et passagère. Dans ce temps bref, puissions-nous par l'amour divin mériter une joie indicible qui jamais ne prendra fin » .

«Voilà la signification de ma roue. » Ici le pèlerin, ému par le son de la voix de Permite, ajoute: « Cette parole me réjouit le cœur » 1.
Telle est, réduite à l'essentiel, et dégageant ses lignes maîtresses qui se sont gravées profondément dans la mémoire du pèlerin bavarois, la vue grandiose du pieux ermite, enivré par le contraste ineffable qu'il découvre entre, d'une part, la splendeur tranquille et inimaginable de la vie trinitaire et, d'autre part, la suscitation fragile et merveilleuse d'un univers où trois mystères brillent à ses yeux comme trois étoiles: le mystère d'un petit enfant né d'une vierge, le mystère d'une petite hostie, et le mystère de la petite durée de notre vie et de notre épreuve.
La figure suivante (Figure 4) illustre laTrinité et le monde, dessin de la première édition du traité du Pélerin, à Augsburg vers 1480.
Nous pouvons maintenant reprendre, au point où nous l'avons laissé, le récit du Traité du Pèlerin: « Vois-tu cette figure ? Au centre c'est l'essence divine, la Divinité indivisée en qui se réjouissent tous les saints. Les trois pointes qui vont vers le cercle intérieur, ce sont les trois Personnes: elles sortent de l'unique divinité, elles embrassent le ciel et encore le monde entier, qui relèvent de leur puissance. Et comme elles sortent avec une force divine, ainsi elles rentrent; et elles sont unies, et inséparables en éternelle puissance. Voilà le sens de ce dessin » .
En regard de cette figure, encore incomplète, dont Nicolas révèle le sens au pieux pèlerin bavarois, essayons de placer, pour un instant, un schéma trinitaire très apparenté, qui se retrouve fréquemment au xve siècle, soit en miniature dans les livres d'heures, soit en sculpture au portail des églises et sur les dalles tumulaires, et destiné à rappeler les processions des personnes divines, leur mutuelle distinction, leur identité avec l'être divin; c'est-à-dire tout l'essentiel du mystère de la Trinité, où nous croyons que les trois Personnes, dont chacune s'identifie réellement à l'essence divine, sont néanmoins réellement distinctes entre elles.
Note : cette figure est reproduite dans chaque exemplaire de notre revue, en page de couverture.

Ci- après apparaissent deux figures qui concrétisent ce qui précède

Les attaques contre monnaie-pleine... nous serions marxistes !

Vollgeld Gaga ? Vollgeld & Marxismus ?

Nous ne sommes pas contre les banques mais pour l'application des lois et de la constitution.

Leurs attaques sont ridicules !


Monnaie-pleine, respect du Souverain ?




Les Suisses résistent, voir AAA+ http://aaapositifs.ch/ et www.monnaie-pleine.ch

La monnaie-pleine devrait déjà être en vigueur, ils trichent et ne respectent pas la volonté populaire à près de 60 %....


De vrais francs pour tous  !

L’initiative Monnaie Pleine ( Les francs suisses émis pour les habitants de la Suisse et pas pour les profits juteux et immérités de quelques banquiers et financiers, souvent à l'étranger ou de l'étranger ) veut exactement ce que beaucoup pensent être déjà la réalité aujourd’hui, notamment que seule la Banque nationale produise les francs suisses, y compris tous les francs suisses de l’argent électronique et des crédits. 
Nous respectons toutes les autres monnaies suisses ( plus de 100 ) , par exemple les francs wir, www.wir.ch , ou les Reka, Sels, Talents, Lémans, Farinets,  Tauschring... qui doivent être aussi des monnaies pleines...


Ceci est en adéquation avec l'intention initiale de la Constitution fédérale (dès 1891 l’article 36, « La monnaie relève de la compétence exclusive de la Confédération »). aujourd’hui l’article 99 : 

Toujours en vigueur, mais pas respecté...

  Art. 99 Politique monétaire
1 La monnaie relève de la compétence de la Confédération; le droit de battre monnaie et celui d'émettre des billets de banque appartiennent exclusivement à la Confédération.
2 En sa qualité de banque centrale indépendante, la Banque nationale suisse mène une politique monétaire servant les intérêts généraux du pays; elle est administrée avec le concours et sous la surveillance de la Confédération.
3 La Banque nationale constitue, à partir de ses revenus, des réserves monétaires suffisantes, dont une part doit consister en or.
4 Elle verse au moins deux tiers de son bénéfice net aux cantons.



Les banques commerciales ne devraient déjà pas créer de l'argent ou de la monnaie en francs suisses, la constitution n'est pas respectée, ni son esprit, ni les considérants qui interdisaient à toutes les banques commerciales d'émettre leurs propres billets ( ce qu'ils dont en fait à chaque crédit de facto, en catimini... ), nous sommes face à des abus inadmissibles, des vols qualifiés en bandes organisées de notre souveraineté monétaire, pour plus de 3 billions francophones, 3 suivi de douze (12) zéros, sic, des milliers de milliards, sic...

Avec monnaie-pleine, la vérité est faite, elles ne seront dès lors plus autorisées à créer leur propre argent; elles ne pourront prêter que l'argent qu'elles auront reçu des épargnants, des autres banques ou, en cas de besoin, de la Banque nationale. 

Commentaires:

« Il s'agit de réformes fondamentales qui intéressent la vie de tous les jours de millions de citoyens. Ces réformes indispensables n'ont été réalisées, ni même envisagées, ni par les libéraux justement préoccupés de favoriser l'efficacité de l'économie, ni par les socialistes justement attachés à l'équité de la distribution des revenus… Les uns et les autres n'ont cessé d'être aveuglés par la répétition incessante de toutes parts de pseudo vérités et par des préjugés erronés. »


Maurice Allais, prix Nobel d'économie.

Tout ce qui est possible, apparemment légal n'est pas nécessairement bon pour le peuple et moral.
Ces créations monétaires du néant par les banques commerciales, "ex nihilo" en technique bancaire, violent la bonne foi et la réalité économique par un grave abus de la marque suisse, au contraire des francs wir, http://www.wir.ch/fr/ , qui reconnaissant honnêtement leur caractère privé. 
Les gens croient que ce sont des francs suisses mais c'est un pur mensonge et un viol de leur confiance. Ce sont de "faux" francs "suisses", un abus de langage et de titres. Le conseil fédéral écrit diplomatiquement "des substituts monétaires"... comme les points cumulus, les miles des compagnies aériennes, au risque des clients...
http://desiebenthal.blogspot.ca/2014/12/le-conseil-federal-suisse-admet-le.html
En récapitulation, on est face à des abus de confiance, de fausses représentations économiques, des comptabilités frauduleuses, des substituts astucieux de monnaie, donc de la fausse monnaie comme le reconnaît un prix Nobel, Maurice Allais, des complots financiers par astuce en bande, de la concussion et la corruption, des abus de biens sociaux...
Ces contrats sont iniques, odieux et impossibles à honorer, comme en Grèce, vu les exponentielles d'intérêts devenues verticales( 1+ i puissance le nombre des années ) donc nuls pour la plupart ( il faut distinguer ces créations folles de la vraie épargne )...

http://desiebenthal.blogspot.ch/2015/05/les-epargnants-premiers-perdants.html

Pour une Banque Nationale vraiment Suisse, BNS 3.0



Nous travaillons pour faire une BNS 3.0

Venez à l'AG de la BNS: pour une coopérative citoyenne



On ne respecte pas les principes importants, on nous viole, on nous marche dessus, trop, c'est trop !

"Non aux violations de la Constitution" . Respect au Souverain suisse.

Après les dilutions monétaires, les dilutions de la souveraineté, des votes ( fraudes aux votes ) et des passeports...



Le peuple doit pouvoir se prononcer notamment sur la loi de mise en oeuvre de l'initiative contre l'immigration de masse. Plusieurs comités de citoyens de tous les bords, y compris socialistes ou ex-UDC, ont lancé la campagne référendaire. La plupart ne se soucient pas que de l'immigration, mais surtout du respect de la démocratie et du fédéralisme suisse.

"Non aux violations crasses de notre Constitution suisse".

Ce n'est pas la première fois qu'ils violent la volonté populaire, notamment dans le domaine important de la monnaie et du crédit, par milliards, la création de monnaie est du domaine exclusif de la Confédération, et pas des banques commerciales qui créent par leurs crédits du néant 
actuellement près de 95 % de la monnaie en "faux francs suisses" notamment électroniques, sans aucune base légale car en violation de l'art. 99 de la Constitution suisse... ( voir plus bas, Monnaie-pleine, respect du Souverain ? ). 
Le conseiller national Geri Müller a été victime d'une cabale car il a osé lever ce lièvre.  http://desiebenthal.blogspot.ch/2016/07/monnaie-pleine-et-geri-muller-les.html

Après les dilutions monétaires, les dilutions de la souveraineté et des passeports...

Ces violations de la Constitution et du mandat populaire par le Parlement ou le Conseil fédéral sont inadmissibles. Cette conclusion est grave car elle mine gravement la confiance dans les institutions démocratiques.

Dans une démocratie directe, la violation de la Constitution pourrait être acceptée à la seule condition que les citoyennes et citoyens l’approuvent dans une votation populaire. Une décision du Parlement ou du Conseil fédéral ne sont pas suffisantes. En effet, l’enjeu n’est pas seulement la confiance, mais aussi le principe de légitimité des décisions politiques.

Donner par exemple la naturalisation facilitée «aux enfants apatrides (article 38, alinéa 3b)» signifie une dilution de la valeur de notre passeport. Il suffira que quelques jeunes apatrides de première génération, filles ou garçons ( on sait qu'ils disent tous qu'ils ont 16 ans, impossible à vérifier, ils ont perdu leurs papiers... ), avec un passeport suisse tout neuf reçu automatiquement d'un fonctionnaire fédéral, commettent un acte terroriste pour faire plonger la valeur de notre passeport suisse... 
Les filières se préparent déjà, c'est trop facile...
La presse mondiale se fera un malin plaisir de diffuser ces nouvelles...
Résistons et agissons immédiatement...

PS:

Votez NON 12 février sur la naturalisation facilitée pour les immigrés de troisième génération ( mensonge car les jeunes apatrides sont de la première génération) et signez le référendum ci-dessous. Merci
Formulaires sur les liens ci-dessus, prêts à être imprimé, photocopié, et signé. MERCI

La BNS investit notamment dans les armes nucléaires, sic, et dans le gaz de schiste polluant, resic, ou dans Apple, concurrent de notre horlogerie, mais le pire est la création monétaire faite contre les citoyens suisses, par centaine de milliards...



Nous pouvons changer ces politiques hasardeuses...

Si vous voulez vous joindre à notre action, vous pouvez acheter une action, ou vous la faire sponsoriser, et donner l'instruction suivante à la banque. 

Ceci est valable pour tous, même pour les étrangers, le plus grand actionnaire est allemand, sic...

La Garde d'Honneur, c’est VIVRE :

‘’L’HEURE DE PRÉSENCE AU CŒUR DE JÉSUS’’



* Chacun est invité à Vivre cette expérience spirituelle :"Toi du moins, aime-moi !" (Jésus à Ste Marguerite Marie)
La Garde d’Honneur du Sacré Cœur a :
  • Pour point de départ le Calvaire où Jésus sur la Croix a le Cœur ouvert et transpercé par la lance du soldat, un Cœur qui est toujours vivant mais continuellement blessé par nos péchés.
     
  • Pour modèles la Très Sainte Vierge Marie, Saint Jean et Sainte Marie Madeleineles premiers Gardes d’Honneur qui se tiennent au pied de la Croix.
 
La Garde d'Honneur, c’est VIVRE :
‘’L’HEURE DE PRÉSENCE AU CŒUR DE JÉSUS’’
Les objectifs des Gardes d’Honneur :

 
* Répondre à l’Amour de Jésus qui s'est offert en sacrifice
pour chacun de nous :
"Pour eux, je me sanctifie afin qu'eux aussi soient sanctifiés en vérité" (Jean 17,19)

* Devenir un consolateur du Coeur de Jésus  :
"Jai cherché des consolateurs mais je n'en ai pas trouvé"(ps68,21)

Pour la vivre

  • Commencer par choisir son HEURE par jour, et laisser s’écouler ce temps sans rien changer à ses activités présentes. Mais les assumer en tournant son regard vers Jésus Eucharistie, Jésus si souvent Solitaire au Tabernacle(1)
     
  • Offrir ses activités, travail, étude, repas, repos sport, oraison, distraction …. En Union à l’Offrande (1) du Christ à son Père pour Sa Gloire et le salut de nos frères.
     
  • L’offrir ‘’en réparation’’(1) de tous nos péchés et ceux du monde : l’indifférence, l’ingratitude, les blasphèmes, les sacrilèges existent loin ou tout près de nous.
     

 

          Vivre cette Heure de Présence est un souhait, un engagement, mais rien ne serait une obligationsous peine de péchés. L’important dans la Garde d’Honneur, c’est l’AMOUR.
          Vivre cette Heure nous rend semblable à la Présence et dans cette proximité de Jésus notre vie devient plus conforme à Lui.

Les objectifs de l'association



 
  • Obtenir qu’à toutes les heures du jour et de la nuit, à travers le monde des chrétiens soient attentifs
    à l’Amour inconditionnel et actuel du Seigneur
     -
     et ainsi 
    Créer une chaine d’Amour ininterrompue autour de Jésus. 

  •  
  • Lui rendre un culte continuel de Gloire, d’Amour (1) et de Réparation
  • pour toutes les blessures qu’il reçoit chaque jour par les péchés des hommes et les nôtres.                           
  • Si nous approchons du Cœur du Christ, nous serons captivés par « Sa Flamme. »
  Il n’est qu’Amour et Miséricorde ;
notre vie doit donc refléter sa Présence.
  Ô Notre Dame,
vous que les anges
ont escortée jusqu'au ciel,
montrez-nous la voie
du salut !
Soyez notre mère,
cheminez avec nous.
Dans l'épreuve,
consolez-nous !
Dans nos chutes,
relevez-nous !

A l'heure de notre mort,
intercédez pour nous !


Et quand, vers Jésus, vous nous accompagnerez, déposez sur notre front votre doux baiser
de Mère et de Reine !
 Geneviève

The Money Myth Exploded

One of the first articles written by Louis Even, this 8-page leaflet explains in a simple manner (five people on an island) how money is created as a debt by the banks. Year after year, this “classic” remains our most popular leaflet. It is a must for beginners who want to understand Social Credit. (It is also available in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, German, Italian, and Arabic.)


From Parable to Reality

Written by Louis Even

A system of debt-money

The system of debt-money that Oliver established on Salvation Island made the little community sink into financial debt at the rate at which the island developed and enriched itself through the work of its inhabitants.

The exact same thing goes on in our civilized countries. Does it not?

Canada, is certainly richer today, in real wealth, than it was 50 years ago, 100 years ago, or in the pioneers' days. Yet compare today's national debt, i,e. the total of all public debts owed in Canada today, to what the total was 50 years ago, 100 years ago or three centuries ago!

Yet it is the Canadian people who have created this enrichment by their labor and know-how. Why then should they be kept in debt for what has resulted from their work?

For example, consider the schools, the municipal aqueducts, the bridges, the roads and other public works. Who builds them? The country's builders. Who supplies the materials they need? The country's manufacturers. And how can these people be employed at public works? It is because there are other workers who produce food, clothing, shoes, or who supply the services and materials required by the builders and manufacturers.

Thus it is the Canadian population as a whole, by its different kinds of work that produces all this wealth. If goods are brought in from other countries, it is in exchange for products that we have made here.

But what do we see instead? Everywhere, citizens are being taxed to pay for schools, hospitals, bridges, roads and other public works. The population is collectively made to pay for what it has produced collectively by its own efforts.
More than double the price

But there is worst: The population is made to pay more than the cost of what it has produced. Its own production, an increase in real wealth, becomes a debt to which interests are added. With time, the interests add up and can equal or even exceed the amount of the debt imposed by the system. At times, the people are made to pay double, triple the price for a production it has itself made.

On top of the public debts, there are industrial debts, also loaded with interests. These compel the manufacturers and contractors to increase their prices beyond the cost of production, in order to reimburse the capital and the interests, so as to avoid bankruptcy. .

Both public and industrial debts plus the added interests must be paid by the people, to the financial system, Public debts are paid for by taxes; industrial debts are paid for through prices. Prices go up while our pocketbooks are being flattened by taxes.
A tyrannical system

These and many other facts are indicative of a monetary system, a financial system, that controls instead of being a servant; a system that keeps the population under its dominance — the way Oliver controlled the men on the Island before they rebelled.

And what happens when the money controllers refuse to lend, or when they add conditions that neither public bodies nor manufacturers can bear? At times, public bodies have to put off projects, no matter how urgent they may be. Manufacturers give up on plans for the development or production of goods that would have answered true needs. And this causes unemployment. And to save the unemployed from starvation, taxes must be levied on those who still own something, or on those who still earn a salary.

Can you imagine a greater tyranny, which evils can be felt by the whole population?
An obstacle to distribution

And there is more. Not satisfied with turning the production it finances into debts, or with paralyzing the part of production it refuses to finance, the monetary system is a poor financial instrument for the distribution of products.

Even though the stores and warehouses are full, and though there exists all that is needed for an even greater production, the distribution of available goods is rationed.

You can only obtain what you can pay for. In front of an abundant production, there should be an abundance of purchasing power in our wallets. Such is not the case. The system always adds more prices to the products than it delivers money into the pocketbooks of the people who need these products.

The capacity to pay is not equal to the capacity to produce. Finance does not reflect reality. Reality means having an abundance of goods that are easily made. Finance equates to money being rationed and hard to obtain.

The present monetary system is truly a system that punishes when it ought to be a system that serves. This does not mean that we must do away with it, but changes must be made to it. This is what the principles of Social Credit are meant to do.
Not a Political Party

The first thing that comes to mind when people hear the words Social Credit, are political parties. But no, Social Credit is not a party although there have been parties bearing that name. Social Credit is no more a party than Christianity is a party, even if, in some countries, you find political parties with such names as Christian Democrats, Christian Party, etc. Political parties exist for the purpose of seizing power, to be or to strive to be the group that rules the country.

Social Credit works in the very opposite way. Social Credit will set the individual free; it will allow the individual to rule over his own life. Social Credit will thus distribute power to individuals, not the power to rule over their neighbours, but the power to order from their country's production capacity, the goods they want.
Money in keeping with reality

Oliver's money, on Salvation Island, would have had no value had there been no products on the island. Even if his barrel had really been full of gold, what could this gold have purchased on an island that had no products? Gold, dollar bills or entries in Oliver's books could not have fed anyone if there had been no food. The same applies to clothing and to everything else.

But there were products on the island. These products came from natural resources and from the work of the small community. This real wealth, that which gave money its value, was the property of the island's inhabitants, and not the exclusive property of Oliver, the banker.

Oliver put them in debt for something that they owned. They understood this when they learned about Social Credit. They understood that all money, all financial credit is based on society's credit, and not upon the banker's operations. This money should have been theirs from the moment it was created; and should have been handed to them, divided amongst them, later to be used for their exchanges as products went from one person to another.

For them, the question of money became what it really is in essence: a matter of accounting.

The first thing required of accounting, is for it to be exact, that it be in keeping with what it is meant to express. Money must be in keeping with the production and with the destruction of wealth. It must follow the flow of wealth: Abundant wealth, abundant money; easy production, easy money; automated production, automated money; free production, free money.
Money to finance production

Money must be made available to producers at the rate at which they need it to mobilize the means of production. This can be done since it was done overnight, as soon as war was declared in 1939. Money that had been lacking for the previous ten years appeared all of a sudden; and during the six years the war lasted, there were no more money problems to finance all of the production that was needed and required.

Therefore, money can be, and must be, at the service of public and private production, as faitfully as it was at the service of war production. All that is physically possible, to answer the legitimate needs of the population, must be made financially possible.

This would put an end to the nightmares of public authorities. It would also mean the end of unemployment and of its hardships, as long as there remain things to be done to answer the needs of the population, both public and private.
Everyone a capitalist - To each a dividend

Social Credit moves that a periodical dividend be distributed to each and every person: An amount given each month to each individual, regardless of whether he is employed or not; the same way dividends are distributed to investors, even when they do not personally take part in any work.

It is widely recognized that a capitalist, someone who invests money in an enterprise, has the right to draw a benifit from his investment, an income which is called a dividend. Other individuals will set his capital to work, and they in turn are rewarded for doing so, through their salary. But the capitalist draws an income simply from his money being invested in the enterprise. If he also works there, he will then draw two incomes: a salary for his work and a dividend for his capital.

Social Credit considers that all members of society are capitalists. Together they own a real capital that contributes considerably more to production than the investor's money-capital or the employees' labor.
What is this social capital made of?

First, there are the country's natural resources that were not made by anyone. They are a gift from God to those who inhabit the country.

Then, there is the total of all the knowledge, the inventions and discoveries, the improvements made to production processes; the total of all the progress acquired, accumulated, increased and passed on from one generation to the next. This is a common inheritance, earned by past generations, used and increased by our generation before it is passed on to the next generation. It is not anyone's exclusive property but a communal property "par excellence".

And this is by far the greatest factor in modern production. If the motive force derived from steam, electricity and oil - all inventions of the last three centuries - were taken away, what would be left of the total production, even if you were to increase the amount of labor and the number of hours worked by all of the country's workforce?

No doubt, producers are still needed to set to work this capital, and they are rewarded for doing so by their salaries. But this capital must earn dividends to its owners and therefore to all the citizens since they are all, equally, coheirs of past generations.

Since this social capital is the most important factor in modern production, the dividend should at least cover everyone's basic needs. And as the part of production due to mecanization and automation increases, while human work decreases, the part of production distributed by social dividends must increase.

This way of understanding the distribution of wealth is quite different from today's. Instead of leaving individuals and families in dire poverty, or instead of taxing those who work to help those who are no longer needed for production, everyone would be guaranteed a basic income through a dividend.

This would be a means, well adapted to our modern productive capabiities, to carry out in practice the right held by all individuals to the use of material goods. This right is derived from one's very existence. A fundamental and inalienable right as expressed by Pius XII in his radio message of June 1, 1941:

"Material goods have been created by God to meet the needs of all men, and must be at the disposal of all of them, as justice and charity require.

"Every man indeed, as a reason gifted being, has, from nature, the fundamental right to make use of the material goods of the earth...

"Such an individual right cannot, by any means, be suppressed, even by the exercise of other unquestionable and recognized rights over natural goods."

A dividend to each and everyone: This is the most brilliant social and economic formula that was ever offered to a world whose problem is no longer to produce goods, but to distribute them.


Offre spéciale pour organiser des cercles d'étude
Pour connaître et comprendre la cause de la crise financière, il vous faut lire ces ouvrages très instructifs qui vous sont proposés à un prix spécial pour un temps limité, afin de former des cercles d'études dans vos paroisses, dans vos milieux:
1) «Du Régime de Dettes à la Prospérité», 110 pages, une traduction par Louis Even du livre "From Debt to Prosperity" de J. Crate Larkin. L'édition originale anglaise comprend 96 pages. Louis Even, notre regretté fondateur, a eu le livre entre ses mains, en 1934 durant la crise économique. Après en avoir pris connaissance, il s'est dit : "C'est une lumière sur mon chemin, il faut que tout le monde connaisse cela".
2) «Sous le Signe de l'Abondance», par Louis Even, 312 pages. Une conception nouvelle de l'économie, une merveille de simplicité qui fait voir clairement le non-sens de la misère en face de l'abondance.
3) «Une lumière sur mon chemin» C’est en 1934 que Louis Even pris connaissance providentiellement d’un petit fascicule de 96 pages, intitulé From Debt to Prosperity (du Régime de dettes à la prospérité) qui lui a fait voir la cause de la fameuse crise économique et le génial moyen d’y remédier.
La cause est le manque d’un petit instrument, un ticket, d’un permis que l’on nomme argent. Les produits étaient en surabondance, mais pas d’argent pour les acheter et l’humanité entière souffrait.
En lisant ce petit livre, Louis Even s’est exclamé: «Une lumière sur mon chemin. Il faut que tout le monde en soit éclairé !»
Le livre inclus «Une Finance Saine et Efficace», par Louis Even, 32 pages, format-magazine, un ouvrage qui démontre clairement comment on pourrait appliquer les grands principes de la Doctrine Sociale de l'Église dans les faits concrets.
4) «La démocratie économique expliquée en 10 leçons», par Alain Pilote, 250 pages, une vue d'ensemble à la lumière de la Doctrine Sociale de l'Église, une synthèse qui est utilisée dans nos semaines d'étude et dont plusieurs se servent pour former des cercles d'étude de par le monde.
