ALBERTO 1ST NAMED STORM

Story 1-Its time for a North American Union. 2-1 dead in Taiwan floods. 3-Alberto 1st named storm.

The Bible clearly say the EU will control the world through breaking it into pieces (10 World trading blocks I believe).

DANIEL 7:23-24
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

REVELATION 13:7-9
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

DANIEL 12:4,1,9-10
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro,(world travel,Immigration) and knowledge shall be increased.(computers,microchip implants etc).
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

Posted on Sun, Jun. 11, 2006 It's time for a North American UnionBy STEVEN HILL,
Special to The Washington Post

WASHINGTON - Immigration issues are always ripe for demagoguery, particularly in an election year. But the solution to the very real problems along the U.S.-Mexican border can be found, ironically, in that other part of the world that demagogues love to ridicule: old Europe.Two years ago, the European Union admitted 10 new members. Like Mexico, all of these nations were poor, some of them fairly backward and most recently ravaged by war and dictatorship.The leaders of the European Union wisely created policies for fostering regional economic and political integration that make the North American Free Trade Agreement look timid and halfhearted by comparison,according to Bernd Westphal, consul general of Germany.

Europe realized it had to prevent a giant sucking sound of businesses and jobs relocating from the 15 wealthier nations to the 10 poorer ones. It also had to foster prosperity and the spread of a middle class and prevent an influx of poor workers to the richer nations.So for starters, it gave the new states billions in subsidies to help construct schools, roads, telecommunications and
housing, thus making these nations more attractive for business investment. It was expensive, but the result has been a larger economic union in which a rising tide floats all boats.In return, the 10 poorer nations had to agree to raise their standards on the environment, labor law, health and safety -- and more.

Worker migration is regulated. Immigrants will be carefully integrated so as to cause the least disruption to the developed economies, with the goal of having open borders down the road.This bold yet carefully planned EU approach suggests the direction that policy between the United States and Mexico should take. The demands of the global economy will push North American
regional integration out of the realm of a shadow economy and flawed free-trade agreement. But what might such a U.S.-Mexico union look like?

It would start with massive subsidies from the United States to Mexico, a Tex-Mex Marshall Plan, with the goal of decreasing disparities on the Mexican side of the border and fostering a climate riper for investment. This would create more jobs in Mexico and foster a middle class, homeownership and better schools, roads and health care. Mexicans would stay home, becoming consumers of U.S. products.But Europe's union is not just an economic one. It also includes continentwide political institutions for all 25 nations. As American-Mexican economic integration unfolds, regional political structures also make sense to allow better coordination and supervision of the regulatory regime and common goals.We always assume that opening the border means hordes of Mexicans streaming north, but under this scenario, more Americans also would begin emigrating to Mexico.

With the cost of living spiraling along the U.S. coasts, many Americans would find not only the cheaper prices but also the warm climate of Mexico a more attractive alternative than relocating to Kansas. Call it the Mexican safety valve, with American workers migrating to Mexico in search of jobs, homeownership, even to start businesses. They would chase the American dream in Mexico.The Census Bureau predicts that by 2050, the number of Latinos and Asians will triple in the United States and Anglos will make up only 50 percent of the nation's population. For many people, these changes are alarming, but economic disparities guarantee that poor Mexicans will continue seeking entry into El Norte.Given these demographic realities, gradual integration of the American and Mexican economies is the only sensible solution.The United States is missing out on huge economic opportunities; the European Union has grown to the largest trading bloc in the world.Old Europe is looking spry, while the United States is looking clumsy and stuck to the flypaper of old ideas.

REVELATION 3:10
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

PSALMS 2:4-5
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

PSALMS 8:3-9
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

One missing, six injured in Taiwan floods Sun Jun 11, 8:06 AM ET

TAIPEI (AFP) - One person was missing and six others were injured when flash floods sparked by torrential rain triggered major landslides in Taiwan. An 80-year-old man in the northern city of Hsichih fell into a ditch and was washed away Saturday, the National Fire Agency said, adding that he was feared dead.A train carrying some 600 passengers derailed in the central county of
Miaoli after a landslide hit the line. The driver and five passengers were injured, the agency said Sunday.

On Sunday the army and police mobilized a fleet of helicopters to transport hundreds of tourists stranded at two mountainous hot spring spots in Taichung and Nantou counties. Among those rescued were 14 tourists from China's northeastern province of Heilongjiang. It was really scary. This was the heaviest downpours I have ever seen in my life,a Chinese male tourist told a local
television station after his group was evacuated to safety.The Council of Agriculture put 320 rivers island-wide on flood alert and urged residents to heighten vigilance against possible landslides.The council estimated that the floods had caused crop damage worth at least 500 million Taiwan dollars (more than 15 million US).

Alberto becomes first named storm of '06 By PHIL DAVIS, Associated Press Writer 34 minutes

ago TAMPA, Fla. - Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named storm of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season, developed Sunday in the Gulf of Mexico and appeared likely to soak parts of Florida and Cuba with heavy rain, forecasters said. By midday, the storm had maximum
sustained wind near 45 mph, up 10 mph from early in the morning, but it was not likely to grow into a hurricane, the National Hurricane Center said.

The satellite presentation of the storm is not very impressive, so not much additional strengthening is anticipated,said hurricane specialist Richard Pasch. The prospect of a wet storm without hurricane-force wind was welcomed by firefighters who have been battling wildfires for six weeks on Florida's east coast.

A good soaking rain would do a lot to help stop the fires in our area, said Pat Kuehn, a spokes woman for Volusia County Fire Services. It has been a hard fire season. We've had several fires a week here.Forecasters said up to 30 inches of rain could fall over the western half of Cuba, creating a threat of flash floods and mudslides, and up to 8 inches could fall over the Florida Keys and the state's Gulf Coast.Residents of the state's Gulf Coast were watching the storm, including Patricia Haberland, whose back porch was flooded by 12 inches of rain in March. She put a few valuables in plastic bins this weekend just to be on the safe side.

Other than that, we're carrying on as usual, going to work, going to church,said Haberland, 52. It doesn't look like it's going to have a major impact on our area.At 11 a.m. EDT, Alberto was centered about 400 miles west of Key West and about 445 miles south-southwest of Apalachicola, forecasters said.

It was moving northwest at about 9 mph but was expected to turn northeastward in the direction of central or northern Florida, where it could make landfall early Tuesday, forecasters said.The tropical depression that produced Alberto formed Saturday, nine days after the official start of the hurricane season, in the northwest Caribbean, which can produce typically weak storms that follow a similar track this time of year, forecasters said. They can also meander in the Gulf for awhile, and we've seen some dissipate before reaching any land areas,Pasch said.

There is no guarantee (Alberto) will make landfall. Scientists say the 2006 season could produce up to 16 named storms, six of them major hurricanes.Last year's hurricane season was the most destructive on record. Hurricane Katrina devastated Louisiana and Mississippi and was blamed for more than 1,570 deaths in Louisiana alone. It also was the busiest in 154 years of storm tracking, with a records 28 named storms and a record 15 hurricanes. Meteorologists used up their list of 21 proper names — beginning with Arlene and ending with Wilma — and had to use the Greek alphabet to name storms for the first time.This year, however, meteorologists have said the Atlantic is not as warm as it was at this time in 2005, meaning potential storms would have less of the energy needed to develop into hurricanes.Last year's first named storm was
Tropical Storm Arlene, which formed June 9 and made landfall just west of Pensacola in the Florida Panhandle.(On the Net: National Hurricane Center: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/)
