Raymond Arroyo, journaliste très connu aux États-Unis puisqu’il est le “présentateur-vedette” et directeur de l’information d’Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), décrypte la manipulation qui s'y est déroulée dans une réflexion pertinente, qui devrait intéresser les catholiques français.

Mémoire courte
Pour ceux qui ont la mémoire courte, voici (hélas en anglais) un rappel de qui était vraiment cet homme si politique et si peu catholique
The Last of The Kennedy Dynasty
As soon as his cancer was detected, I noticed the immediate attempt at the “canonization” of old Teddy Kennedy by the mainstream media. They are saying what a “great American” he is. I say, let’s get a couple things clear & not twist the facts to change the real history.
1. He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for paying a classmate to cheat for him.
2. While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two. Oops! The man can’t count to four! His father, Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to England (a step up from bootlegging liquor in to the US from Canada during prohibition), pulled the necessary strings to have his enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he served in Europe, not Korea , where a war was raging. No preferential treatment for him! (like he charged that President Bush received).
3. Kennedy was assigned to Paris, never advanced beyond the rank of Private, and returned to Harvard upon being discharged. Imagine a person of his “education” NEVER advancing past the rank of Private!
4. While attending law school at the University of Virginia , he was cited for reckless driving four times, including once when he was clocked driving 90 miles per hour in a residential neighborhood with his headlights off after dark. Yet his Virginia driver’s license was never revoked. Coincidentally, he passed the bar exam in 1959. Amazing!
5. In 1964, he was seriously injured in a plane crash, and hospitalized for several months. Test results done by the hospital at the time he was admitted had shown he was legally intoxicated. The results of those tests remained a “state secret” until in the 1980’s when the report was unsealed.. Didn’t hear about that from the unbiased media, did we?
6. On July 19, 1969, Kennedy attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts . At about 11:00 PM, he borrowed his chauffeur’s keys to his Oldsmobile limousine, and offered to give a ride home to Mary Jo Kopechne, a campaign worker. Leaving the island via an unlit bridge with no guard rail, Kennedy steered the car off the bridge, flipped, and into Poucha Pond.
7. He swam to shore and walked back to the party, passing several houses and a fire station.. Two friends then returned with him to the scene of the accident. According to their later testimony, they told him what he already knew – that he was required by law to immediately report the accident to the authorities. Instead Kennedy made his way to his hotel, called his lawyer, and went to sleep. Kennedy called the police the next morning and by then the wreck had already been discovered. Before dying, Kopechne had scratched at the upholstered floor above her head in the upside-down car.
The Kennedy family began “calling in favors”, ensuring that any inquiry would be contained. Her corpse was whisked out-of-state to her family, before an autopsy could be conducted. Further details are uncertain, but after the accident Kennedy says he repeatedly dove under the water trying to rescue Kopechne and he didn’t call police because he was in a state of shock. It is widely assumed Kennedy was drunk, and he held off calling police in hopes that his family could fix the problem overnight. Since the accident, Kennedy’s “political enemies” have referred to him as the distinguished Senator from Chappaquiddick.. He pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, and was given a SUSPENDED SENTENCE OF TWO MONTHS. Kopechne’s family received a small payout from the Kennedy’s insurance policy, and never sued. There was later an effort to have her body exhumed and autopsied, but her family successfully fought against this in court, and Kennedy’s family paid their attorney’s bills… a “token of friendship”?
8. Kennedy has held his Senate seat for more than forty years, but considering his longevity, his accomplishments seem scant. He authored or argued for legislation that ensured a variety of civil rights, increased the minimum wage in 1981, made access to health care easier for the indigent, and funded Meals on Wheels for fixed-income seniors and is widely held as the “standard-bearer for liberalism”. In his very first Senate roll, he was the floor manager for the bill that turned U.S. immigration policy upside down and opened the floodgate for immigrants from third world countries.
9. Since that time, he has been the prime instigator and author of every expansion of an increase in immigration, up to and including the latest attempt to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Not to mention the pious grilling he gave the last two Supreme Court nominees, as if he was the standard bearer for the nation in matters of “what’s right”. What a pompous ass!
10. He is known around Washington as a public drunk, loud, boisterous and very disrespectful to ladies. JERK is a better description than “great American”. “A blonde in every pond” is his motto.
Let’s not allow the spin doctors make this jerk a hero — how quickly the American public forgets what hi s real legacy is. Let’s keep this going for truth, justice and the American way

un dessin vaut souvent mieux qu’un long discours!même si le propos d’Arroya est lui aussi éclairant.

Article tiré de l’hebdomadaire “l’Afrique” :
DAKAR – Un Boeing 737 en provenance du Venezuela a débarqué toute sa cargaison de cocaïne près de Gao (Mali) avant de disparaître, a annoncé 10 jours après à Dakar le responsable régional de l’Office de l’ONU contre la drogue et le crime (ONUDC). “Un Boeing parti du Venezuela a atterri sur une piste artisanale à 15 km de
Gao (nord-est) avant de décharger de la cocaïne et d’autres produits illicites”, a indiqué le responsable régional de l’ONUDC Alexandre Schmidt lors d’une rencontre avec la presse.” La quantité de drogue n’est pas connue mais “un Boeing peut en transporter 10 tonnes. La drogue n’a pas été retrouvée. L’agence internationale Interpol a été saisie et une enquête est en cours, selon lui.La carcasse de l’avion “a ensuite été incendiée par les trafiquants pour faire disparaître toute trace. Mais les numéros de référence ont été pris, une enquête est en cours sur le propriétaire. Aucun cadavre n’a été retrouvé sur place” à la suite de l’accident, a souligné le responsable.” On ne peut pas dire si c’est le premier ou le dernier vol de ce type”, a-t-il précisé. “Mais cela pourrait être considéré comme un nouveau mode opératoire et c’est inquiétant”, selon M. Schmidt. Selon lui, “il n’y a pas de couverture radar dans cette zone”, située à un millier de kilomètres de la capitale Bamako, dans la région du Sahara, propice à tous les trafics. C’est la première fois que nous avons connaissance” d’un acheminement de la cocaïne sud-américaine en Afrique par un avion de cette capacité, affrété pour l’occasion, a-t-il souligné.Les autorités de Bamako n’ont pas réagi officiellement à la suite de cet accident. L’Afrique de l’Ouest est devenue ces dernières années un important centre de transit de la cocaïne sud-américaine vers les marchés européens.
Ce qui est curieux c’est l’annonce tardive de cette information par un responsable de l’ONU (10 jours après). Nous pouvons supputer une collusion de la part de certains onusiens avec Hugo Chavez, président vénézuélien. Comment un boeing, un avion si gros, peut-il décoller d’un aéroport vénézuélien avec un chargement de drogues ?
