св. Христофор, исключен из католического календаря в 1969 г.
-----------------
много гостей... на днях были меломаны-жж'исты, слушали малоизвестные записи Кнаппертсбуша. вчера утром запостил фотку Лёлика - вечером он и приехал, а не был год (да и компа у него нет)... кстати, добавил в ту запись фото Тегина почему-то. вчера же был Алекс с друзьями - кажется, он вернулся надолго; в день его прибытия в Питер сгорел купол Троицкого, а теперь - что-то невнятное: рынки, всякие здания...

фон: стабфонд закрыли и сделали два других, в Пакистане убили одного из шести, как пишут, замов Усамы - ливийца Abu Laith al-Libi (в 2002 именно он объявил, что Усама и Омар живы). Серьёзный сбой в RU-CENTER + Индия и большая часть арабов осталась без инета: порван кабель? уж не репетиция ли... ремонт долгий. В Иерусалиме 2ю ночь снег, в Москве оттепель (вспомнил сейчас "В Петропавловске Камчатском полночь". Чуть ли не самая любимая у меня из раннего Альянса). Гайдар обещает девальвацию. Скупают золото. Беспрецедентные проблемы у банков в США, а вот и швейцарский UBS AG впервые с момента создания зафиксировал убыток по итогам года. Самый резкий в истории разворот фондового рынка США. объявлено, что жизнь Фишера будет экранизирована под названием "Bobby Fischer Goes to War".

A HISTORY OF THE AGAKHANI ISMAILIS [pdf, критика]
"The real change in my attitude came when Idiscovered to my utter surprise that the Aga Khan is not a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, through the Fatimid Imams, but is a descendant of Hasan, a son of Da`i Muhammad of Alamut, who had proclaimed a kind of spiritual filiation with the Fatimid Imams. <...> Professor Ivanow scrutinized 929 works, and his analysis of these many documents was published in just 180 pages. Asaf Fyzee, the founding member of the Ismaili Society, wrote, "Everything connected with Ismailism seems to be enveloped in a cloud of mystery and secrecy." <...> In 1945, under the chairmanship of the late Aga Khan, a conference of Agakhani missionaries was held in Dar-es-Salaam. Aga Khan strongly criticized those who wanted him to eliminate the names of Hindu manifestations (Avatars) and the phrase "'Ali sahi (truly) Allah" from the Ismaili Du'a."

A former Liberian militia commander known as General Butt Naked has admitted to eating children's hearts before going into battle. He said the sacrifices "included the killing of an innocent child and plucking out the heart, which was divided into pieces for us to eat." Milton Blahyi is now an evangelical preacher and has confessed his crimes to encourage others to do the same to banish their demons and "heal the country's wounds". He is also the first person to confirm rumours of human sacrifice during the 14-year conflict. Blahyi told the BBC he first became exposed to killings in 1982 when he was ordained as a traditional tribal priest at the age of 11.

He went into battle on behalf of Liberian President Samuel Doe and fought against the militia of Charles Taylor, who is currently on trial for war crimes in The Hague. "Tradition made me to believe that as a priest, coming now to be a warrior, that I made a human sacrifice before going into battle," he said. But he stopped fighting in 1996 after God appeared to him and told him he was doing Satan's work.

EJP:
Around 15,000 Jews live in Rome. Of the existing 113 licenses that allow souvenir selling in Rome, 112 belong to Jewish vendors. Until December 2007, the Jewish sellers were allowed to work on the entire territory of Rome, and part of them directly on St Peter’s Square. A week ago however, the Vatican City governor, Cardinal Giovanni Lajolo, banned all traders from the Baroque Bernini columnade, upsetting the Jewish sellers who claim to have been licensed by a Pope many hundreds of years before.

Waving an Israeli flag and some small banners, the street vendors asked to be again allowed to sell their momentos within the territory of the Holy See.

комментируя sapojnik Стабфонд РФ: проститься в слезах (Стабфонд является госгарантией РФ под долговые обязательства российских же корпораций), new-ur-all заключает:
"... Ну а в случае возможного дефолта в РФ, Стабфонд переходит в руки западных кредиторов".
ну тут или пелевина вспоминать (про антирусский заговор, в к-м участвует всё население РФ), или конспирологически углубляться
