REVELATION 17:1-2,9
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(VATICAN)

Former U.N. weapons inspector presents pope with ‘Weapons of Terror’ reportBy Carol Glatz,Catholic News Service (www.catholicnews.com)

VATICAN CITY – The former U.N. weapons inspector monitoring Iraq, Hans Blix, met with Pope Benedict XVI and presented him with a report on the world's arsenal of weapons of mass destruction.At the end of the pope's June 14 general audience in St. Peter's Square, the pope greeted and spoke with the 77-year-old Swedish diplomat for a few minutes on the steps of the basilica, before greeting other pilgrims.Blix was in Rome as part of a world tour presenting a report titled Weapons of Terror, which outlines ways the world can reduce the dangers of weapons of mass destruction. The 227-page report was the result of an independent, two-year
study conducted by the Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission, headed by Blix.

The report concludes that as long as nations stockpile chemical, biological and nuclear arms there is a high risk that they will one day be used by design or by accident, he told reporters in Rome June 13. The report was first presented June 1 to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan in New York. Blix was to present the report at the World Council of Churches in Geneva June 15. Blix came under the media spotlight before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, when his statements about Iraq's weapons' program contradicted the claims of the U.S. administration. Blix, who at the time was chief of the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission in charge of monitoring Iraq, accused the U.S. and British governments of exaggerating the weapons' threat in Iraq in order to bolster support for the 2003 war against former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

Blix told reporters June 13 that he remembered Pope Benedict spoke of peace through truth in his January World Day of Peace message. While there was no explicit mention of Iraq in the pope's peace day message, titled In Truth, Peace, the pope did write about the lies of history that have fueled wars. The pope wrote, "How can we fail to be seriously concerned about lies in our own time, lies which are the framework for menacing scenarios of death in many parts of the world? The pope's message also said the truth of peace requires governments that possess or seek nuclear weapons to change their course and firmly commit to a progressive nuclear disarmament.In an interview with Vatican Radio June 14 after meeting the pope, Blix said international weapons inspections aim to seek the truth.

We know that the inspectors I led (in Iraq) ended up documenting the truth much better than the CIA or the British secret services,he said. He told Vatican Radio's Scandinavian program that the pope told him the Vatican is working to see the same kind of disarmament that the independent commission is lobbying for, so "in that sense one can say that we are allies.

REVELATION 6:5-8
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Drought-yes, drought-plagues southern La. Thu Jun 15, 1:16 PM ET

NEW ORLEANS - After most of New Orleans sat submerged in water for weeks after Hurricane Katrina, the eight months since Oct. I have been the driest southern Louisiana has been during the 111 years that records have been kept, the state climatologist says. Since October, most of the southern half of the state has averaged just 21 inches of rain, down from the usual 40-inch average, climatologist Barry Keim said. The National Weather Service says the rest of June promises more of the same.We're in what's called extreme drought, Keim said of the state's record-breaking dry spell. We've really been suffering here, especially since Katrina.

Without the once-dependable daily showers, lawns have browned, rice and sugar cane crops are suffering and residents have emptied store shelves of hoses and other irrigation devices.The increase in watering could stress city and parish pumping systems, and officials fear they could break because of ground subsidence caused by the lack of rain. A tropical storm would do wonders for us right now, Keim said. A weak one, of course.The forecast for rest of the month calls for little or no rain, said Mike Shields, senior forecaster at the National Weather Service office in Slidell. Shields said there will be a chance for only spotty showers over the weekend.

And then until the end of the month, it looks like the same pattern of high pressure still over us and keeping us dry, he said.Southern Louisiana had been abnormally dry for about five months before the storm made landfall Aug. 29., Keim said.The drought was interrupted, if you will, by Katrina, and we went back into the drought pattern. Then we got that deluge from Rita. And as soon as that storm left, we went right back into the drought pattern, he said.Normally, humidity rises into the sky, forming a cloud and then rain. But Keim said a stable structure of atmosphere is hanging over the region, preventing the moisture from rising, similar to the atmospheric conditions in normally arid states.For whatever reason, this dome of upper pressure in the atmosphere seems displaced east by a few hundred miles, Keim said.

The National Weather Service predicts that rain in the area will return to normal levels over the next three months. But Keim said such predictions typically can be way off. We're crossing our fingers, forecaster Tim Destri said. We can't say for sure, but we see some hope of getting back
to the typical summer pattern.
