Headlines below the fold

Typhoon related thunderstorms left 400 thousand without power in Chiba district of Japan. Tokyo was also hit by flooding. Nope. American papers didn't notice.

American Catholic priests and some in the Catholic blogosphere protests Pope's bigotry. Those quoted are not the crazy "Trad-Alt/R" types, but never mind. And it's not the politics but the dogmatic attacks by some in the Vatican that they are protesting: Can you say "Dubia", children?

and the question about an illegal conspiracy that put Pope Francis into power is gaining traction: if there was such a conspiracy, this would make him an anti pope.

Never mind: The church went thru this type of illegal election in the past, and the results weren't pretty, but the church itself survived.

update: The theological errors of the proposed Amazon summit.

There is a court case about privacy in California, about an under cover reporter who taped Planned parenthood employees admitting they (illegally) sold body parts.

Now the court case suing him for invading their privacy has revealed that they had live post abortion babies who they left die. California judge just denied state's AG from stopping news coverage. But never mind. The press isn't covering it anyway, even though this case would threaten ALL undercover reporters a la "60 minutes" who do this type of thing all the time.

Well, if it got publicity, it might reveal that Kamela Harris was the one behind the decision to prosecute the reporter, and hey, can't criticize a Democratic candidate for president, can we?

Wretched tweets that Tom Clancy predicted the 911 attack in 1994, (and worried that Clancy had also predicted eco terrorism attack in another book).

but Filipinos know that the Philippine police had uncovered the plot years earlier, but their warnings weren't taken seriously by the CIA, even though the bombing of PhilAirline flight 434 was a test run.

what saved the passengers on that plane was two things: The bomber placed the bomb over where he thought the fuel tank was, but the plane was a modified version, so the fuel tank didn't explode. And it was able to land in Okinawa thanks to the skills of the pilot, Captain Eduardo "Ed" Reyes (no relation) despite some of the control cables being cut, by using the throttle to control the plane.

and of course the US MSM ignores the many terrorist attacks here

Instapundit has lots of 911 links today, including about the press spinning the terrorism behind the attack, but they missed one: That on 911, the NYTimes published an interview with Bill Ayers who bragged about when he tried to bomb the Pentagon... No Regrets for a Love Of Explosives; In a Memoir of Sorts, a War Protester Talks of Life With the Weathermen

and guess who began his Presidential campaign in Ayers living room?

HongKong protesters using the App Telegram to coordinate the protests, but it isn't secure: The company is changing the app to make sure China can't hack into the network.

why not use facebook or twitter? NPR reports: they are infiltrated with paid propaganda by the Chinese gov't to manipulate public opinion.
