Threat or viral marketing?
A CREEPY new video featuring a hooded character, dressed like a medieval plague doctor, presents a dark puzzle that apparently threatens U.S. President Barack Obama. As of today, nobody seems to know who created the video and what it really means.
Also: More evidence of intrigue at the Vatican, UN initiative adopted by several US cities targets right-wing extremists, Parliament of World Religions pushes universalism, and Shiite Muslims commemorate 7th century Battle of Karbala with bloody self-flagellation.

IN A move that surprised casual observers, Pope Benedict XVI announced today that he is resigning the papacy effective February 28, 2013. The last pope to resign, rather than die in office, was Gregory XII in 1415, in the midst of a crisis known as the Great Western Schism.
What does this mean for the Roman Catholic Church? And how does this relate to the so-called Prophecy of the Popes, attributed to the 12th-century Irish monk St. Malachy?
Cris Putnam, co-author of Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope is Here, discusses this development — and why non-Catholics should even bother to pay attention.
Sharon and Derek are presenters at the upcoming Chicago Summit #3, with Russ Dizdar, L.A. Marzulli, Doug Woodward, Rob Skiba, Doug Hamp, and Tom Dunn of the Josiah Project. Details online here.

AS WE head into the final month of the 13th B’ak’tun on the Mayan Long Count, we discuss the numerological fascination of some professing Christians. Does God really work best on certain dates? Are Christians really called to open portals to engage in spiritual warfare?
Also: Middle East continues to simmer; NASA’s upcoming Mars presser; pope dismisses doomsday; Muppet-like beast shot in Namibia; and a horrific story exposes a cult in Kansas City.

FOR THE first time since the Emergency Broadcast System was invented in 1963, Americans will experience a national test of the Emergency Alert System. The test at 2:00PM EST (GMT -5) Wednesday will be sandwiched by a close fly-by of YU-55, a 1231-mile wide asteroid, Tuesday night, and an exercise Thursday to test our response to a disastrous Pacific tsunami.
It could be an interesting week.
Meanwhile, war drums continue to beat in Israel and Iran; Roman Catholic bishops in Germany preach chastity while selling porn; vengeful librarians watch Facebook for the CIA; Hobby Lobby tries to buy the Crystal Cathedral; and we cough a lot.
