Religion vs. science
This letter is an addendum to Adrienne S. Dey’s, “Godly showdown” (Tribune-Herald, Feb. 1).
In our human society, religion is a vital part of people’s lives. It is used in an attempt to tame and temper the “raw instincts” lurking within the souls of all human beings.
Therefore, religion is necessary, even if at times it might be influenced by a little bit of “ritualism.”
However, should it be necessary to the extent that it may obscure and hinder the advancement of scientific studies?

Vatican secret agents?
Since World War II, the U.S. has been involved in numerous wars of aggression against smaller, weaker nations that were no actual threat to the U.S.
Quite often, lies were used to justify these wars. But the truth is that these wars were waged for corporate profit — at great cost to the social and economic well-being of the United States.
So who is behind these forces of darkness that bow before the alter of Mammon, the money god, instead of the living god? Any really good historical researcher can show that that our government has been taken over by secret agents of the Vatican, which plan their New World Order.
The Jesuit order was commissioned by the pope to make war on the Protestants at the time of the Reformation. The Jesuits caused so much subversion in Europe that they were finally outlawed for about a century. The Jesuits merely went into secrecy and formed secret societies like the Illuminati, the Carbonari, Skull and Bones and others.
On July 6, 1782, at the secret Congress of Wilhelmsbad, an alliance between Freemasonry and the Illuminati was formed. The Vatican’s bankers, the Rothschilds, bankrolled these operations and saw to it that Jews could also be members of these secret societies.
One powerful secret society that owes its first loyalty to the Vatican is the Knights of Malta. John J. Raskob was the founding member of the Knights of Malta in the U.S. He later tried to persuade U.S. General Smedley Butler to lead a military coup against the White House, but failed.
The CIA was organized by … Knights of Malta. The CEO of Blackwater was a Knight of Malta. Two of the Republican candidates for president, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, are both (allegedly) Knights of Malta. This is just the tip of the iceberg!
Viet Dinh, a Knight of Malta and Jesuit Georgetown University professor, was also Assistant Attorney General of the United States. He was the primary author of the unconstitutional Patriot Act, written months before the 9/11 attacks.
Members of these secret societies are behind America’s slide into fascism and unnecessary war. They should be banned from government and military positions.

Good Samaritan
Occasionally, we are fortunate enough to experience the Golden Rule in action from a stranger. When ill-fortune falls upon us, we need help and support, and it usually comes from family or good friends, but rarely from strangers. I had such an experience recently after my misfortune with a flat tire.
I pulled into the Keaau Transfer Station and there found a couple filling water containers. First, they loaned me their cell to call my wife. I thanked them for their courtesy and then the bombshell hit.
The gentleman then asked if he could change the tire for me! Apparently, he deduced that both my age and tire-changing inexperience were leaving me hanging there wondering what to do next. With the deftness of a professional, Mike tore into the task and my pickup was ready to go in less than 10 minutes.
Though not as common these days, when above-and-beyond helpfulness is offered, the Golden Rule returns to reality and makes the tougher parts of everyday living a little easier for us lucky enough to run into a person as gracious and helpful as Mr. Mike Ramirez of Pahoa.
