Palestinians: Killers, Con Artists and Thieves

 

Palestinians – they'd rather be killing Jews

Some men will tell a woman anything to seduce her and vice versa. Why? Because it's human nature to say what you have to say when you desire something bad enough. For life, for liberty, for love, you find the words. But how about for land? The land lust the Palestinians have for the Jewish homeland has had them not only salivating at the chops, but has had both peoples dripping with blood and sharing the good earth – underground. Yet what remains most telling of the Palestinian agenda is not so much what they won't do as regards Netanyahu's recent speech, but what they will not say: Israel has the right to exist and is the state of the Jewish people.

And that is why Netanyahu's speech was very wise, despite the naysayers on all sides. (Indeed, it is only the Middle East where you can't please any of the people any of the time.) What Netanyahu's speech served to do was multifold. To start, the location of the speech, held at Bar-Ilan University's Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, was certainly symbolic and a silent call to Arab leadership to emulate the courage of Anwar Sadat. (And by the way, is there a Rabin Center in any Arab University?). But in not mentioning the name of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Netanyahu served to undermine Abbas' already tenuous grip on power and as such sent him – the would-be partner in peace – into a rhetorical tailspin evoking the next intifada. The demonizing of Israel is always a way to galvanize political support for Palestinian leaders. The juxtaposition of Abbas' reaction to Bibi's policy speech that invoked the word "peace" 43 times served well to illustrate the mentality and temperaments Israel is surrounded by. They won't even whisper sweet nothings to get Israel into bed; they just want to shtup them right out. Though the West may refer to Abbas as "a moderate," it may serve to be reminded that he is a Holocaust denier, a denial which was the basis of his Ph.d. thesis, making him a moderate who has a lot in common with Ahmadinejad. And whereas Ahmadinejad wants to wipe Israel off the map, Abbas has yet to recognize that Israel is on it.

"We want to live with you in peace, as good neighbors," Netanyahu said in his address. "I know the face of war. I have experienced battle. I lost close friends; I lost a brother. I have seen the pain of bereaved families. I do not want war. No one in Israel wants war." But good thing Netanyahu was once coined the man most women would want to share a bomb shelter with, or Abbas' rejection might have left him hurt and lonely. To Bibi's outstretched hand the Palestinians responded: "It's obvious, in the aftermath of this speech, that we are headed toward another round of violence and bloodshed," according to a Haaretz article. If a mere policy speech can launch a new intifada, hmmm, maybe, just maybe the Palestinians aren't quite ready to love their neighbors as themselves.

WND's Aaron Klein gets to the heart of Israel's decline in his new book, "The Late Great State of Israel: How Enemies Within and Without Threaten the Jewish Nation's Survival"

Only three years left till Armageddon?

 
Inscriptions on a monument in Mexico include a column (on the left-hand side) that gives its date on the Mayan Long Count calendar, which ends - along with the world as we know it, some say - in 2012.

Inscriptions on a monument in Mexico include a column (on the left-hand side) that gives its date on the Mayan Long Count calendar, which ends - along with the world as we know it, some say - in 2012.

The ancient Mayan calendar ends on Dec. 21, 2012, prompting some to believe the End Time is nigh.


A
t last month's Cannes Film Festival, pedestrians strolling along the seafront were startled one night by a thunderous roll of timpani and a fountain of water shooting up from the Mediterranean 10 metres into the air.

It was enough to make you jump out of your skin. It was enough to make you think that the world might be ending, especially after reading the giant green letters projected onto the spray of water: "2012," it said. "We have been warned."

The nonplussed French turned to each other and shrugged: 2012, qu'est-ce que c'est?

If they went home and did a bit of research, they would have discovered that 2012 is not just the title of an upcoming disaster movie, directed by The Day After Tomorrow's Roland Emmerich, but also an enormous, complicated network of apocalypse theories, encompassing hundreds of books, documentaries, films and websites, that lead to one conclusion: The world will end on Dec. 21, 2012.

Muslim outreach: Into the breach

 


 

 

 

 

 

The White House has been keen to capture the largest possible audience for the speech, scheduled for Thursday in Cairo, but aides to the president repeatedly sought to dial back expectations for the speech, noting that it will be just one of several outreach efforts. The speech at Cairo University will address a range of topics, they said, but will not offer significant new initiatives on issues such as the standoff between Israel and Palestine or the U.S. relationship with Iran.
"There has been a breach, an undeniable breach between America and the Islamic world, and that breach has been years in the making," said David Axelrod, senior White House adviser. "It is not going to be reversed with one speech. It is not going to be reversed perhaps in one administration, but the president is a strong believer in open, honest dialogue."

Aides said the president's speech will lay out responsibilities for all parties in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But Ben Rhodes, a speechwriter with the National Security Council, said these will generally be initiatives the parties have already agreed to.

 

 

We SAY remember:
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Daniel 9:26-27

Narcissist-in-Chief

He may be the most mysterious and secretive president in American history. Though inexperienced and arguably unqualified for the presidency, he mesmerized the entire establishment press and more than half of voters, many regarding him nothing short of a political messiah. Though he can barely speak publicly without a teleprompter,  he's praised as a transcendent communicator. Though his voting record is extreme left, he portrays himself as a pragmatic centrist.

But beyond Obama's political ideology, many Americans are troubled also by his strange personality attributes: He greatly exaggerates his achievements, expects constant praise and admiration, believes he's special, doesn't appear to concern himself with other people's feelings, expresses disdain for those he feels are inferior, sets unrealistic goals, appears as tough-minded and unemotional, and other qualities – all of which are textbook symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Indeed, the word "narcissist" is increasingly being applied to America's 44th president. Pulitzer prize-winning columnist and former psychiatrist Charles Krauthammer asks, "Does the narcissism of this man know no bounds?" Jack Kelly, journalist and former high-ranking Reagan administration Pentagon official, says: "The most dangerous thing about having a narcissist in a position of power is his unwillingness – perhaps his inability – to ever admit error. ... Obama acknowledged the troop surge in Iraq has produced dramatic improvements, but said he still would oppose it." Radio giant Rush Limbaugh said of Obama recently: "He's supremely narcissistic … This is all about him. This has nothing to do with the country. It has nothing to do with our way of life. Every aspect of his presidency is about building him up, making him appear to be savior, messiah …"

Is the president of the United States indeed a narcissist, a condition psychology and psychiatry recognize as a serious personality disorder?

The lie has a father, does it not?

Obama tells Turkey “we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation but a nation of citizens”…..Gee, what does Obama and his staff do with the FACTS of our history?



The Gettysburg Address (Abraham Lincoln November 19, 1863):


“Four Score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal…That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”


James Monroe:


With a firm reliance on the protection of Almighty God, I shall forth with commence the duties of the high trust to which you have called me. There are literally thousands of quotes, speeches and even sermons of our earliest Presidents, founding fathers and members of congress honoring God/Jesus Christ, giving credit to God for our freedom, moral and legal development and for our very existence.
More evidence of our secular history…..


The first Day of Prayer was declared by the Continental Congress in 1775 In 1952 both Houses of Congress called upon the President to set aside a day each year as National Day of Prayer.


Then there is that secular reminder of our classic flag folding ceremony described by the Uniformed Services Code. This has always been the traditional way of honoring soldiers on Memorial Day, Veterans Day or at military funerals. There are 12 folds that all mean specific symbolic things. I won’t go through them all but give you a taste of a few. Fold 11 represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The 12th fold and final fold refers to the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost.




We SAY: President Obama says he is a Christian. Is there a new kind of Christian out there now called a ‘Mystery Christian?’ This is the person who says they are a Christian if it is politically expedient, but in truth is ashamed of the gospel, message of Christ and Biblical teaching. Obama had the White House call Georgetown University and wanted the symbol of Jesus by the podium covered, since President Obama would be speaking. Why? The lie has a father, does it not?

Obama, God, Hitler and Churchill

Obama Puts The World On Fast Track To Armageddon

Barack Obama is setting the table for Armageddon in the Middle East and perhaps worldwide and for Holocaust II for the state of Israel. His reckless and clueless decision-making indicates he is willing to let Iran go nuclear. That means Iran will have the capability to carry out its almost daily-stated objective of wiping Israel off the face of the map. That also means there will be nuclear proliferation and a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.The likely consequences of that are the destabilization of the Middle East, possible nuclear exchanges and Armageddon. This, of course, will threaten the national security interest of all nations in the Middle East, in Europe and of the United States. Mr. Obama, in effect, by his actions and inaction, is throwing a lighted match into the volatile Middle East.But Mr. Obama does more than demonstrate a willingness to unleash Armageddon in the Middle East and the Iranian genocidal attack on Israel. He takes other steps to show his total dedication to bringing about Holocaust II and Armageddon in the Middle East and perhaps worldwide.

We SAY: All this means is that Israel’s life is in danger. If Iran gets the bomb, it will use it to kill six million Jews. No threat of retaliation will make the slightest difference. One cannot deter a suicide bomber with the threat of death. Nor can one deter a theocracy bent on meriting admission to heaven and its virgins by one glorious act of violence. Iran would probably not launch the bomb itself, anyway, but would give it to its puppet terrorists to send to Israel so it could deny responsibility. Obama, bent on appeasement, would likely not retaliate with nuclear weapons. And Israel will be dead and gone.

2007: God's side or the Dark side

 

''In 2012 evil will continue to make slow steady progress. Life on earth will generally get worse with a few bright areas such as increased Christian faithfulness. 2012 is the beginning of 'the choosing'. Choose God's side or the dark side. Spiritual death dominates the year. It truly is the darkest before the dawn.''

Signs of a conspiracy: Mystical numbers

2012: The Destroyer Is Unleashed


Signs of a conspiracy: Mystical numbers, contagious ideas

“Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay (Jehovah) is also God. For the eternal Law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black. For the Absolute can only exist as two Gods: darkness being necessary to light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue and the brake to the locomotive. The… true and pure philosophic Religion ‘is the belief in Lucifer,’ the equal of Adonay; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil.” — Albert Pike, Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite Freemasonry
In the previous entry, the Akedah or story of the “binding of Isaac” on Moriah proved enlightening when viewed within the distorted importance the story holds for the occultists and their plans. An equally important lesson from the Moriah narrative related to phenomena before and after 9/11 includes how nation-influencing angels—both good and evil—can be “loosed” or “bound” above countries based on decisions made by and allowed of national leaders. In the Moriah example, Abraham’s obedience not only resulted in an angel staying the sacrifice of Isaac, but according to the Genesis Rabba from Judaism’s classical period (a collection of rabbinical homilies on the book of Genesis) Abraham’s submission directly affected the angelic “princes of the heathens” as well.
From Genesis Rabbah, 56:5 we read:
Here God immediately rewards Israel when Abraham binds Isaac to the altar by binding the princes of the heathens—the angels who served as guardians to the heathen nations—thus making them subservient to Israel. But this fettering only lasts while Israel upholds its part of the covenant with God. When Israel fails to do so, God unfetters the princes, and the heathen nations take their revenge on Israel. [1]
In view of recent history and given scriptural support for the idea that supernatural forces can be loosed or bound above nations in response to government conduct, speeches, symbols, rituals and gestures, we note with special interest who history identifies as the spirit that rules the very territory the Bush administration joined the United States in conflict with—Ahriman, the most powerful of all dark angels. Ahriman is indirectly referred to as the “prince” over Iraq/Babylon in the tenth chapter of Daniel, where the prophet had been fasting and praying for twenty-one days, hoping the God of Israel would see his fast and grant him revelation of Israel’s future. On the twenty-first day of his fast, the angel Gabriel appears and informs Daniel, “. . . from the first day thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words” (Dan. 10.12). If an angel had been dispatched from heaven from the first day, why did it take twenty-one days before he arrived? Gabriel provided the answer by explaining that a supernatural Persian “prince” had opposed him for twenty-one days. Not until Michael, the archangel, came to assist in this conflict was Gabriel free to continue his journey (Dan. 10.13).

Leading to 2012

President responded to opponents with 'humility'??

 


E.J. Dionne SAYS: Facing down protesters who didn’t want him there, President Obama fought back at Notre Dame not with harsh words but with the most devastating weapons in his political arsenal: a call for “open hearts,” “open minds,” “fair-minded words,” and a search for “common ground.”
There were many messages sent from South Bend on Sunday. Obama’s opponents seek to reignite the culture wars. He doesn’t. They would reduce religious faith to a narrow set of issues. He refused to join them. They often see theological arguments as leading to certainty. He opted for humility.


I SAY: President Obama wants to close minds to criticism. He issues fair-minded responses but holds the dark secrets of his agenda. He is the facilitator of what will be the greatest social change ever seen on Earth but what he doesn't know is his end game. By mid 2012 he, you and I will not only feel the change, we will see it.



and YOU?

Earth likely to disappear in 2 centuries

If the phenomenon of global warming is allowed to continue at the current rate, the human race is likely to be wiped out in about two centuries by disaster if not earlier by a nuclear war, Professor Syed Amir Ahmed Kazmi, former Director General, Pakistan Meteorological Services told The News.

Prof. Kazmi’s theory based on thorough research has been seconded by the renowned British Scientist Dr Stephen Hawking, who advised developed nations while addressing a press briefing in London in 2006 that “they should, within the next 50 years select a suitable planet or star for settlement of the next human race. USA has already taken initiative in this direction. The Kepler Telescope recently launched by National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) for a three-year period is meant to find a similar Earth-like planet in the Milky Way Galaxy with the right temperature and water for the survival of life.”

Prof. Kazmi’s theory has found many distinguished ears as discussion on the theory has been going on in various universities and other organisations that are concerned with the global warming. “Global warming is not a regional phenomena but a global catastrophe. During the last 100 years the Earth’s temperature rose by about one degree Celsius. By the end of the current century, this will go up to three degrees Celsius and by the close of the next century, it is expected to shoot up to well above six degrees Celsius when the carbon dioxide concentration may increase, thus resulting in the physical deterioration of Earth,” Prof. Kazmi explained.

...world woes signal beginning of the end?

Lately it seems that there is an inescapable apocalyptic tenor resounding throughout the world. Humanity, still sickened from the world financial crisis, has recently been thrust into a stage-5 condition of pandemic pandemonium! Mexicans are afraid to breath on one another, Egyptians are slaughtering thousands of pigs, and many Americans are quarantining their children from public schools – and that's just one unhealthy dose of daily news!

World-changing events are emerging at an alarming pace, causing Christian eschatologists to write last days articles faster than Scott rolls out toilet tissue and world governments print funny money to fill the bottomless financial pit. Unknowingly paralleling their concerns, even President Obama recently declared that after 100 days in office "the number of critical issues that appear to be coming to a head all at the same time" surprises him. Newscaster Glenn Beck of Fox News echoes similar sentiment by suggesting there appears to be a "perfect storm" coming, alluding to the advance of powerful world-changing events building one upon another in rapid succession.

Interestingly, Jesus Christ predicted approximately 2,000 years ago in Matthew 24:7-8 that world wars would come and be followed by cataclysmic events like regional wars, pandemic pestilences, earthquakes and famines in various places. He called it a time of travail and likened it to a woman having birth pangs. His birthing illustration envisions catastrophic events occurring with greater frequency and intensity as the end of time nears, similar to the way a woman's contractions increase as her child begins departure from the womb.

Obama's top 10 religious moments(so far)

10. Speaking to Muslim world from Turkey This is perhaps the most confusing and misleading of all his "faith moments." He said, "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values." That should win the No. 1 non-faith or secular moment of Obama's first 100 days, for he skirted our religious makeup and heritage.  If my math is correct regarding the Newsweek column, the preceding "10 most important Obama religious moments" include: 1) Two encouraging Muslim relations and religion around the world, 2) two extending and increasing terminations of human life in the womb, 3) one non-religious speaking engagement at a university, 4) two acts promoting community development, 5) seven events that included invocations, 5) and one about the sight of religious soot on the forehead of the vice president.
