How the Mighty have Fallen: The Next Steps in Reclaiming our World and Ourselves
Posted on March 13, 2013
by itccs
In just over one month, history has been made.
One Pope has fallen, the Vatican is in disarray, and heads of state are evading arrest warrants after being publicly tried and sentenced for Crimes against Humanity.
And thanks to the February 25 verdict of our Common Law Court, the legitimate authority of the Vatican and the British Crown has been disestablished by the fact that their heads of state are now wanted criminals.
As at the Nuremberg Trials, not only criminal actors but the system they represent have been lawfully judged and sentenced before the world. Our Common Law Court verdict has given all of us a rare historical opportunity to reclaim power from those who have for so long usurped it.
The question now faces us: Will we do so?
To grasp the momentous nature of what has happened and the glowing chance humanity has been given to free itself of its oldest tyranny, let's remember a few key events:
January 30, 2013: The International Common Law Court's Prosecution concludes its case against Thirty officials accused of Genocide in Canada, including the Pope and four top Vatican officers.
The Accused do not respond to or deny the charges.
The Jury of thirty three sworn citizens then judges the evidence.
February 4: A diplomatic note is issued to the Vatican Secretariat by a European government working with our Common Law Court, concerning its impending Arrest Warrant against one of the accused, Joseph Ratzinger (aka Pope Benedict)
February 11: Joseph Ratzinger resigns as Pope
February 15: Ratzinger is given sanctuary and "legal immunity" by the Vatican
February 25: The Common Law Court Jury unanimously finds Ratzinger, Elizabeth Windsor and 28 others guilty as charged of Crimes against Humanity and Criminal Conspiracy, and sentences them to 25 years imprisonment and loss of property and authority. The guilty are given one week to comply.
March 3: The occupation and seizure of church property begins in Canada, England, the United States and Italy.
March 4: The guilty do not comply. Common Law Citizen Arrest Warrants are then issued by the Court for the detainment of Ratzinger, Windsor and others. Attempted arrests proceed.
March 7: A Public Notice declares that the legal and political authority of the governments, courts and police of the Vatican, Canada, England and other Commonwealth nations is nullified and disestablished. The Notice calls for new Constitutional Republics in these countries and for Civil Constitutions which nationalize church property and governance. (see www.itccs.org, March 7)
Our Goal, and The Next Steps
For years, the aim of our movement has been to uproot the institutional and spiritual source of centuries of murderous crimes against the innocent by the corporate empire known as the Vatican, and its many offshoots. We have begun to do so now, lawfully and openly.
The mask has finally slipped, for those who can see and understand. The perpetrators of the worst Genocide in human history stand not only condemned and sentenced, but legally and morally disestablished.
As well, the aura of legitimacy and authority – what some call the Archon, or the overarching spiritual or "group mind" of the institutions we have judged – has been shattered, in the manner of a massive collective exorcism. A spell has been broken, the Angel and Archon of Rome has departed, and the ground has been prepared for a new seeding.
The collapse of Rome is sending an enormous shock wave across our planet, on many levels: for the authority of most governments and corporations that have dominated and ruined our world emanate from the legal and belief system established by the Vatican Empire.
Equally powerful has been our resurrection of the Common Law as a practical weapon to restore justice and sovereignty to the people.
Everything, in short, is in transition; and the cowering of supposed "rulers" in evasion of our Arrest Warrants is a clear sign that the "mighty" are indeed fallen, and falling.
Taking back the power from these criminals is up to every one of us now. But how will we assert this new freedom and identity, and reclaim the world?
We're already beginning. In eight countries, twenty one local action groups have formed to reclaim the property and lands of the criminal churches named in our Verdict. And in Canada, England, the United States and Italy, the Citizens' Arrests of the guilty "Dirty Thirty" is commencing.
About Citizens' Arrests
Consider the word."Arrest" means "to stop" in French: and our aim is to not simply detain but forever stop the guilty and the systems they represent, of fraud, conquest and murder. And that won't happen simply by locking away a few figureheads, even though that's what the law requires.
In truth, it's easier than you realize to stop people in power – especially when they know they're guilty of a crime.
You have the upper hand, first of all, because the guilty have everything to lose, and you have much less at stake. And so it's terribly easy for you to expose, mock and embarrass them, loudly and publicly.
By naming, shaming and banishing them, you puncture the tenuous balloon of their moral authority. And you can even achieve what we have done to the former Pope and the British Queen and the Canadian Prime Minister, which is to cause them to either resign or hide out of public view to evade the small but deadly weapon that we hold: the truth of what they are.
If we can't detain such officials after trying, that too helps us, since then they're exposed as the cowards they are, and the police and authorities as their accomplices in crime.
The truth is that a convicted criminal has no authority any more, under the law: including monarchs, popes and prime ministers. We just need to press that point home now.
Besides, most of the people we're arresting aren't heads of state and have no real protection around them. They're mostly low level clergymen, church officials, RCMP officers, and even a fat CEO of an American eco-terrorist corporation called Weyerhauser. Who's going to rush to defend these jokers, especially now that their complicity in genocide, child rape and murder is exposed to the world?
Think of those slaughtered children whenever you doubt what we must and can do next.
Reclaiming church property and land
This is the easy part. Churches are already open, public spaces since they're maintained by your taxes.
Our occupation and seizure of Catholic and Protestant churches is an act of responsible citizenry, for we'll be opening them to the homeless and all the victims of church torture. And so no cop or priest can legally evict you from any church if you're being peaceful – especially if a few dozen of you show up with all your kids.
So make your seizure of churches a permanent and ongoing thing; you're not protesting, you're reclaiming. Set up soup kitchens and beds in the sanctuary. Quote Jesus while you're doing it: he has plenty to say about religious hypocrites and the blessedness of children, and the poor.
Trust us: our experience proves that when anyone threatens the property and money of these fraudulent churches, they fold. That is their Achilles' heel.
Besides, taking back the wealth stolen from us all is justice in action. These churches have never paid a dime of taxes. Now we're taxing them, by reclaiming them with a sort of direct peoples' levy.
The Bigger Picture: Spiritual Reclamation
But fun church seizures and arrests of fat clerics aside, the startling truth is that these institutions have already been disestablished, legally, morally and spiritually. Once you and only about 2% of humanity awaken to that reality, it will become a fact of everyday life.
We've always known that our work is ultimately a spiritual battle: a fight for the mind and soul of humanity in the face of a force that has enslaved our people for millenia. We are engaged in a literal, mass exorcism.
And so despite the initial emphasis of our campaign on the legal front, we have been accompanied and protected from the beginning by spiritual elders, shamanic workers and people of many faiths. The conscience and prayers of countless men and women have been a great shield around those of us on the front line of this battle, and has brought the malevolent spirit that we face to a standstill.
During Easter Week, from March 24 to 31, a focused Spiritual Reclamation will commence that will culminate in a fasting and public exorcism between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, outside and inside these churches. This exorcism will complete the cycle begun by Kevin Annett and others outside the Vatican in October, 2009.
More of this will be shared with you in the coming week.
Clearly, we are using the ITCCS-Common Law Court as a springboard to launch this broader Spiritual and Community Reclamation Movement to alter our societies and ourselves from the grassroots.
Liberated hearts and minds always usher forth new ways of living and governing ourselves. But to develop new systems of cooperative Common Law government, we need a trained cadre of leaders to lead this revolution from below.
And so in the coming days, all of our Action Groups will begin to hold leadership training workshops to plan the details and strategy of this Reclamation Movement, and create the political and spiritual and will for it to endure. A Training Manual is forthcoming, concerning the ITCCS and its history, the Common Law, the Reclamation Vision and Spirituality, and the rules of spiritual and political engagement.
Finally …
To further this entire campaign, Kevin Annett will be commencing a six month global speaking and organizing tour on behalf of the ITCCS and this new spiritual-political reclamation movement, from April through to October, 2013. He'll be visiting twelve countries in North America, Europe and Asia.
Kevin has been one of the few ITCCS officers mentioned publicly until now, primarily for security and the safety of its officials, some of whom are sensitively placed in governments or legal bodies. Six members of the ITCCS have died from clear foul play since 2009 after being publicly vocal about crimes of church and state.
However, more ITCCS members are going public since the Common Law Court verdict, including Jury members Lisa Shannon and Melanie Spencer, and ITCCS organizers Gerry O'Donovan, Dave O'Brien and John Deegan in Ireland, Thierry David in France and Rev. Joshua Lemmens in Canada.
Thanks for staying part of our movement. Carry it on! We have a world to win back!

WTH? The news flashed that he had been cited in a recent criminal complaint and was complicit in a kidnapping of several Jesuits decades ago, the 1970's I think it said. Then it was pulled while I was watching.
This article says only two cardinals were clean in the sex scandals, and neither one of them is Bergoglio...

The last couple weeks have seen a lot of stories in the "new age" circles on the internet about imminent "first contact" occurring as soon as August 4th during the 2012 Olympics. Predictably, once the original story was seeded, several "channeled messengers" started appearing supporting that idea. Alongside this are the "fear porn" aficionados who are predicting a "false flag" attack or even faked alien invasion scenario to happen around the Olympics.
One of the stories making the rounds is that the Queen is negotiating a pardon for her crimes against humanity, and that the "galactics" have given a "hard deadline" of August 4th after which, they will take matters into their own hands. No mention, however, is made of the numerous "hard deadlines" that have come and gone in the past.
I would be amused if this wasn't so harmful to so many people's psyches. For long-time readers of this blog, I have a question for you. What happens when a large group of people get their hopes up, only to be let down because the promised event did not occur? The answer: A major low-frequency energetic release! When a person invests the energy of anticipation and hope, only to be let down, they end up feeling disappointed, fooled, betrayed and usually somewhat embittered afterwards. All of these emotions are great food for the ankle-biters.
Of course, the energy of being afraid of a false-flag attack is also great ankle-biter food, especially if it is combined with hatred towards "the elites" who plan such things. Much better is to simply know that these small-minded, psychopathic "elites" will do anything to hold onto their worldly power, pity them, forgive them and work towards co-creating something positive with other like-minded people.

Today we would like to focus your attention on the topic of nutrition and how it relates to your overall vibration. This of course directly affects every being on this planet, as every physical being requires food to sustain themselves. There are very many on your world who are now becoming much more conscious than ever before of just how intertwined their health and the quality of the food which they consume are. Many have heard the saying “you are what you eat” however very few have actually contemplated its meaning. If you eat chicken does this mean that you are now a chicken? Certainly not, however it is our intention today to share with you our perspective on how the relationship of the food that you consume and the vibration which you maintain are so closely connected.
Let us begin by reminding you that everything is made up of energy, everything therefore vibrates at its own rate of frequency. Some may wonder how can the food which you consume have a direct effect on the vibration which you are able to maintain. This is what we would now like to further explain. As you ingest any substance it instantly becomes a part of you, it integrates with your very being. The very vibration of the food then becomes a part of your being. Food that has been eaten in haste with very little gratitude for the nutrition that it provides will not serve your body in the same way that food that has been carefully prepared with love and given gratitude for the nutrition it will provide your body. Food does in fact hold a much higher nutritional content which is then absorbed much easier by your body, when gratitude and love are shared.
The gathering and production of the food impacts the overall vibration of the food greatly. Food that has been harvested with love and compassion is far more nutritious than food which has been plundered and gathered in haste for the profits that it will produce. Just as each and every one of you are sensitive to the energy around you, so too is the food which you consume.
Also know the life and death of the animals which you consume greatly impact the vibration of the animal products you ingest. An animal who has been well cared for and lived a life of peace will produce products that have a much higher vibration and therefore have a much higher nutritional content than those who have been abused and simply seen as a possession for profit. The cells of the plants, animals and animal products which you consume, absorb the energy, frequency, and emotions of the plant or animal. The nutrients and cells then become integrated with your being once they are consumed. The fears and emotions of the animals are part of the animals being, this in turn does have an effect on your overall health, mood, and vibration. We are all connected, the fears or peace that an animal feels does not die with the animal. It is carried in the very cells of their physical being. This is why we implore you to be conscious of the food which you eat. You cannot expect to ingest food which has been discarded, mistreated or abused not to effect your being, just as food which has been tended to with love and care will also integrate with your cells and become part of your being. This is why we say "you are what you eat".
Much of the food that is available for human consumption has been “tampered with”. The food which you could grow in your own backyard is very different from the food that is sold in your stores around the world. The suppliers are often motivated by profit rather than the health of the consumers. Most are not aware of the impurities and toxins which are added to your food; as a result many suffer from low energy levels and sluggish digestive systems.
There are many who are developing food allergies to a wide range of ingredients. This is not necessarily because of the actual product that they are consuming, rather it is in direct connection with the contaminants and preservatives that are regularly found in the food. More and more will find that they are no longer able to consume the foods which they have previously enjoyed. As your bodies continue to “shed” the density by increasing your overall vibration, foods that you once easily digested will now become increasingly difficult for your body to process. Simply put, the over processed food holds a much lower vibration than you now are able to maintain. As a result it is no longer compatible with your high vibration.
Much of this is the result of the toxic preservatives and modification of the genetic integrity of the food. A very common allergy which is now being reported in many is the allergy to gluten. However in most cases it is not the actual gluten which their body is rejecting; rather it is the modification which has been made to the wheat that is causing the problem. The molecular structure has been artificially altered.
Many years ago scientist realized that they could manipulate the genetic structures of plants in order to produce more crops. This of course allowed the food industry to produce a larger quantity of food without having to obtain more land. The intention was simply to produce large quantities of crops for a large profit; however unknowingly at the time, these scientists began to genetically alter the molecules so drastically that the nutrients germane to the plant were removed. Many years later, there is now no wheat product that is mass-produced for human consumption which has not been genetically altered from its original state. The seeds which are available to grow new crops have come from the genetically altered grain.
Right now, we see a disconnection between your medical field and your food industry. You see, the food industry pays very little attention to the importance of health and the medical industry pays very little attention to the food that you consume. One day these industries will unite for the common good of all. As the demand for purer food increases, the food industry will evolve to meet those demands. You can see the beginnings of these changes in your world already; your demand is now for food which is organically grown, and harvested with care.
Many wonder what foods are best for the overall health of their body. To this we say, what is suitable for one, is not necessarily suitable for others. Each body is different, and therefore requires different nutrients to achieve optimal health. Your body is always communicating with you through the cravings that you have and the feelings that you experience. However, all will benefit from eating purer foods which have not been heavily processed, altered, or contaminated. Foods which have not been cooked such as fruits and vegetables which are eaten in their natural raw state maintain a higher vibration and therefore are more nutritious for your body. We are not saying that you cannot or should not eat cooked food, although know that the more food that you can consume safely without heating above 100 degrees Fahrenheit maintains nearly double the nutrients that you would find in food that is cooked. A practical recommendation would be to add several helpings of fresh fruits or vegetables to your daily diet.
You will find an increase in those who choose to grow their own food, instead of relying so heavily on supermarkets to provide all of their produce. Many will begin to look for local ingredients which have been properly cared for and maintained. This will include vegetables, and fruits as well as animal products such as eggs, and milk. How a product was grown and cared for has a direct connection to the nutrition, and vibration the product will have. Many are slowly learning the crucial role that food plays in your overall state of mind, and therefore the reality which you experience.
So how are you to know how the food that you are consuming has been “treated” and collected? In some cases you simply would not know, yet as the demand for better quality food which has not been mass-produced and heavily treated grows, so to will the supply. There are many who cannot afford to purchase the high costs of “organically grown” food. Know that even if you are met with situations which high vibrational food is not available, you can raise the vibration of the food with your intention before you ingest it. You do not have to remember how to consciously increase the vibration of your food, your intention and light is all that is needed. You may also call on us at any time to assist you in increasing the overall vibration of the food that you consume to ensure that it will serve your highest good.
Your body will always keep an accurate record of all that you have eaten. What you put in is what you will get out, without exception. To focus so intently on your spiritual evolution with no regard for your physical well-being is counter-productive. Your spiritual body and physical body are intricately connected; therefore you cannot elevate one without the other. Be kind to your physical body as it is just as important as your spiritual body. Your physical body is what allows you to participate in this extraordinary experience; without it, your journey as a physical being in this reality cannot continue.
We hope that we have in some way served you.
In love and light, we are your Angelic Guides.

Q: I’m hearing weird tones in my ears. What do they mean?
A: This is a complex subject that I am going to over-simplify to keep the answer short. You are hearing 4th density energies. Generally, a sudden strong tone in your right ear is a positive, STO oriented being sending you information, love, or a warning. A strong tone in the left ear is generally a negative, STS being trying to access your energy, read you, distract you, etc.
This is not 100% of the time, but it is a good general guideline.
Often, a set of “background tones” can be heard as well. They will vary depending on the harmonics of the area where you live, and the energies you are conducting in meditation and daily life. You can put in ear plugs and meditate on these energetic background tones to get to know them better.

Implant Hemispheres and Galactic Central Sun Activity
There has been a lot of progress of the Light forces lately on the non-physical planes. The Light forces are accelerating the clearing of non-physical negative entities and they are driving them out of all areas around the surface of the planet except from the so called implant hemispheres.
Implant hemispheres are areas of distorted spacetime continuum around the etheric implants. Each incarnated human being has received etheric implants by the Archons just before incarnating – the so called veil of forgetfulness. Those etheric implants are actually multidimensional black holes which contain anomalous matter and distorted quantum fluctuation. Each human being has three of those implants and they create a quite stable interference pattern which keeps the consciousness of the human being within the Matrix. This interference pattern creates an energy field of anomalous distorted spacetime structure around the implants with a radius of about 100 feet with the three implants in its center. This energy field was spheric until very recently. Last month the Light forces have managed to push the lower half of that spheric field of every human being towards the surface of the planet so now only the hemisphere above the surface remains. When many people are located close to each other, implant hemispheres tend to merge and create a unified distortion field. This is the main reason why the energies in large cities are not very good usually.
Those implant hemispheres look like this:
In the last week, many non-physical negative entities were driven out by the Light forces from all other areas into the implant hemispheres. These implant hemispheres are the only place where they are relatively safe from being cleared by the Light forces for now. The increased presence of Light is compressing the remaining darkenss. You were most likely able to feel this compression as extreme tiredness of the physical body which is undergoing intense tranformation. Many people also experienced energy attacks from the incoming negative entities and headaches because of increased implant activity. All this will be somewhat less intense from today onwards.
The most secure place for the negative non-physical entites to hide is in the sector of our implant hemisphere which corresponds to our traumatic experiences. When we experience a trauma, we tend to go out of the body and in that very moment usually negative non-physical entities attach to our energy field. Because the trauma is usually suppressed, we are not aware of those entities and they can carry out their plans undisturbed. This is the main reason the Archons have designed trauma-based mind programming.
Until now, the existence of implant (hemi)spheres was one of the main secrets of Archons and the reason of their confidence in the last 25,000 years. This intel is released now because the increased activity of the Galactic Central Sun will begin to dissolve the implant hemispheres. When they are disintegrated, this will be one of the biggest victories of the Light forces in the last 25,000 years.
The Galactic Central Sun is slowly beginning to increase its activity during this month of March. Comet Panstarrs is a cosmic trigger which will connect the consciousness of the surface populaion with this increased activity of the Cental Sun. This comet will make a spectacular show in our evening skies in the next few days:
The activity of the Galactic Central Sun will increase drastically after the activation of the portal on May 25th and will be extremly high during June, July and August. This is the time period within which the Light forces will be making great progress with deconstruction of the implant hemispheres. It is not possible to predict the progress of clearing of the implant hemispheres in detail because the exact structure of the anomaly within the implants is not understood well enough yet.
Increased activity of the Galactic Center is a direct consequence of a passage of an interstellar clound named G2 close to Galactic Center in the summer of this year:
The passage of G2 close to Galactic Center will not trigger a Galactic Tsunami nor a global coastal event as some people are afraid. There is no »hot Jupiter« star within that cloud so no Galactic Superwave event will be triggered. Anyway, the Galactic Confederation has shielding technology which can protect the ecosystem on the surface of this planet and also to stabilize the tectonic plates. So there will be no drastic cataclysm happening. But definitely strong energies will be present which will mercilessly continue to wipe out all darkness until the last Reptilian is gone.
CDC study finds no infectious cause for mysterious Bay Area illness
Morgellons disease
KTVU And Wires
ATLANTA, Ga. —
Imagine having the feeling that tiny bugs are crawling on your body, that you have oozing sores and mysterious fibers sprouting from your skin.
Sound like a horror movie? Well, at one point several years ago, government doctors were getting up to 20 calls a day from people saying they had such symptoms.
Many of these people were in California and one of that state's U.S. senators, Dianne Feinstein, asked for a scientific study. In 2008, federal health officials began to study people saying they were affected by this freakish condition called Morgellons.
The study cost nearly $600,000. Its long-awaited results, released Wednesday, could identify no common underlying medical condition or infectious source for Morgellons.
"We found no infectious cause," said Mark Eberhard, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official who was part of the 15-member study team.
The study appears in PLoS One, one of the Public Library of Science journals. The study can be accessed at the PLoS One website.
Sufferers of Morgellons (pronounced mor-GELL-uns) describe a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, erupting sores, crawling sensations on their skin and — perhaps worst of all — mysterious red, blue or black fibers that sprout from their skin. Some say they've suffered for decades, but the syndrome wasn't named until 2002, when "Morgellons" was chosen from a 1674 medical paper describing similar symptoms.
Afflicted patients have documented their suffering on websites and many have vainly searched for a doctor who believed them. Some doctors believe the condition is a form of delusional parasitosis, a psychosis in which people believe they are infected with parasites.
Last May, Mayo Clinic researchers published a study of 108 Morgellons patients and found none of them suffered from any unusual physical ailment. The study concluded that the sores on many of them were caused by their own scratching and picking at their skin.
The CDC study was meant to be broader, starting with a large population and then went looking for cases within the group. The intent was to give scientists a better idea of how common Morgellons actually is.

8/7/2007 – CDC Requests Bay Area Morgellons Study (Source)
OAKLAND, CA — KTVU Channel 2 has learned the federal Centers for Disease Control has asked Kaiser Permanente to begin the nation’s first epidemiologic study of “Morgellons Disease,” a mysterious ailment that the government terms an “unexplained and debilitating condition that has emerged as a public health concern.”
Doctors Make Progress With Mysterious Disease
OAKLAND —
A horrifying and fascinating disease is affecting thousands of people in the Bay Area, along the Gulf Coast and in Florida. Though some doctors have claimed the malady is psychosomatic, other scientists are making headway unraveling the mystery of Morgellons Disease.Former Oakland A's pitcher Billy Koch has it. And so do his wife and their three children. And though they can afford top medical care, doctors have no answers.
It started in Oakland four years ago. Koch saved 44 games and was the top reliever in the major leagues. His fastball wowed crowds. And then the strangeness began.
"He freaked out. He wanted to ignore it … I wanted to too. But when it comes to your kids, you gotta stop ignoring it," said Koch's wife Brandi.
She describes their symptoms: "It was the scariest thing I had ever realized in my entire life. There was matter and black specks coming out and off of my skin."
Within two years -- at age 29 -- Billy Koch was out of baseball, partly because of the uncontrollable muscle twitching that went on for months at a time and often kept up him up all night.
The disease is characterized by slow healing skin lesions that often extrude small, dark filaments, especially after bathing.
"That's when it would really just ooze -- literally ooze out of my skin," explained Brandi Koch.
The couple was at wit's end after numerous doctors not only provided little in the way of relief, but actually were skeptical about their health problems: "There's no reasonable explanation for it. I'm not seeing things. l'm watching it happen. We're pretty sane people…" lamented Billy.
CDC Requests Bay Area Morgellons Study
OAKLAND —
KTVU Channel 2 has learned the federal Centers for Disease Control has asked Kaiser Permanente to begin the nation’s first epidemiologic study of "Morgellons Disease," a mysterious ailment that the government terms an "unexplained and debilitating condition that has emerged as a public health concern."
KTVU Health and Science Editor John Fowler was the first in the nation to report on this “mystery disease” as it was called in 2004. He reported the skin disorder seemed to cause fibers and filaments to emerge from the skin of sufferers, and also seemed to cause neurological problems patients described as "brain fog."
John followed up with other reports, and founders of a non-profit group hoping to help sufferers understand the disease named it Morgellons. As of February this year, the Morgellons Research Foundation has identified more than ten thousand families nationwide. John profiled former A’s pitcher Billy Koch who says both he and his wife have symptoms.
CDC Launching Investigation Of Morgellons Disease
ATLANTA —
Imagine your body pocked by erupting sores. The sensation of little bugs crawling all over you. And worst of all, mysterious red and blue fibers sprouting from your skin.
It may sound like a macabre science fiction movie, but a growing legion of Americans say they suffer from this condition. And now the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating.
Some doctors dismiss these patients as delusional. But the condition -- called Morgellons -- has caused a small frenzy on the Internet, with hundreds of people pleading for help.
"Sometimes the government doesn't want to panic people until they can figure out a definitive cause," said Pat Boddie, a 62-year-old Alabama woman who said she's had Morgellons for 14 years.
"They're trying to figure out if this is going to be an epidemic. I hate to tell them, but it already is," she said.
The CDC has been receiving as many as 20 calls a day from self-diagnosed Morgellons patients. The agency has been urged to investigate by, among others, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California.
"We're going into this with an open mind," said Dan Rutz, spokesman for a CDC Morgellons task force that began meeting in June.
But so far there is no evidence of an infectious agent, and health officials say there is not yet enough evidence even to call it a disease.
People claiming to have Morgellons report a wide variety of symptoms, ranging from joint pain to irregular bowel movements. But most describe crawling sensations along the skin, sores, fatigue, "brain fog," and the appearance of small or microscopic fibers on or under the skin.
Some say they've suffered for decades, but the syndrome did not get a name until 2002, when the name "Morgellons" (pronounced mor-GELL-uns) was chosen by Mary Leitao. The South Carolina woman, who said her son suffers from the condition, founded the Morgellons Research Foundation.
She found the name in a 1674 medical paper that described a condition called Morgellons, with symptoms somewhat like her son's. So she began using the name. "I never expected it to stick," she said.
Leitao's organization has become a leading source of information and research advocacy, but it too has become controversial.
Last week, at least three of the eight members of the organization resigned over disagreements with Leitao, the executive director, about how she's been running the foundation. One member -- the board's chairman -- sent a letter to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, saying Leitao had failed to produce requested financial records and he voiced suspicions of financial impropriety.
U.S. Orders Study Of Bizarre Morgellons Condition
UNDATED —
It sounds like a freakish ailment from a horror movie: Sores erupt on your skin, mysterious threads pop out of them, and you feel like tiny bugs are crawling all over you.
Some experts believe it's a psychiatric phenomenon, yet hundreds of people say it's a true physical condition. It's called Morgellons, and now the government is about to begin its first medical study of it.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is paying California-based health care giant Kaiser Permanente $338,000 to test and interview patients suffering from Morgellons' bizarre symptoms. The one-year effort will attempt to define the condition and better determine how common it is.
The study will be done in northern California, the source of many of the reports of Morgellons (pronounced mor-GELL-uns). Researchers will begin screening for patients immediately, CDC officials said Wednesday. A Kaiser official expects about 150 to 500 study participants.
Morgellons sufferers describe symptoms that include erupting sores, fatigue, the sensation of bugs crawling over them and -- perhaps worst of all -- mysterious red, blue or black fibers that sprout from their skin. They've documented their suffering on Web sites.
Some doctors believe the condition is a form of delusional parasitosis, a psychosis in which people believe they are infected with parasites.
In the study, volunteers will get blood tests and skin exams, as well as psychological evaluations, said Dr. Michele Pearson, who leads a CDC task force overseeing the study.
This week the papal conclave starts and two well-connected insiders each have a different version of who will be pope. A senior member of the Italian P2 Freemason Lodge and of the Teutonic Knights says that, in a move to court Asia, the next pope will be Cardinal Louis Antonio Tagle of the Philippines. However, a European based CIA source says it will be a Venetian nobleman by the name of “Anthony Scola [the Cardinal of Milan], count on it.”
While this is going on, North Korea is making public nuclear threats to South Korea while secretly proposing a union between North and South Korea with Northern political leadership and Southern economic control, according to Japanese military intelligence and North Korean yakuza sources.
The Sabbatean Mafiosi, who were pushing for a unified Muslim/Christian one world religion secretly controlled by Satanists are, for their part, still desperately trying to start World War 3 in the Middle East, this time by using a false flag chemical weapons attack in Syria, according to Mossad sources.

I hope it's just stupid posturing.
