Quake strikes off El Salvador, Honduras Fri Mar 9, 11:26 PM ET

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - An earthquake struck off the coast of El Salvador and Honduras on Friday, alarming some residents but causing no damages or injuries, officials said. The temblor had a preliminary magnitude of 5.5 and struck at 3 p.m., 65 miles southwest of the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.Authorities in El Salvador said the quake startled some residents of the capital of San Salvador. Juan Carlos Elvir, chief of Honduras' emergency response department, said the quake was hardly even felt in that country

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;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
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.

Flash floods kill six in Algeria Sat Mar 10, 2:27 PM ET

ALGIERS (AFP) - A flash flood killed six people in southern Algeria when torrential rains caused wadis to overflow, while high winds brought down trees and walls, press reports said Saturday.

Two teenage schoolgirls and four shepherds were swept away in separate incidents in the Djelfa region, 270 kilometres (170 miles) south of Algiers on Thursday when more than 100 millimetres (four inches) of rain fell in just a few hours, the reports said.Other people were injured by falling walls, trees and telegraph poles as winds reached 120 kilometres (75 miles) an hour, the reports added.In Algiers itself some 30 houses were flooded in the east of the city when a river overflowed for the first time in 15 years. Firemen had to use boats to evacuate the residents.In the mountainous east of the country meanwhile roads were blocked by snow, and weather forecasters predicted conditions would worsen on Sunday.

Typhoon Muifa creating battering waves Tim Ballisty, Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Sat Mar 10, 9:11 AM ET

What started Tuesday innocently enough as a moderate tropical storm has become a small, but potent, typhoon east of the Philippines. Typhoon Muifa (Moy-fa) became worthy of its prefix today when winds were estimated at near 105 mph. Muifa is at best meandering to the north while churning in the Philippine Sea just east of Manila. In fact, for all intents and purposes, the typhoon has stalled.

Though forecast to move west over the islands, forward progression will be slow. Bad news for the island chain as flooding and mudslides will result from the copious amounts of rain expected to fall over the next 48 hours. There is no doubt that the large and powerful waves have been battering the eastern coast of the northern Philippines. The system is forecasted to weaken gradually over the next 5 days as it heads towards southern Vietnam. The Atlantic and eastern Pacific Basins remain quiet.

Flood potential: Northwest/southern Plains Jonathan Erdman and M. Ressler, Sr. Meteorologists, The Weather Channel MAR 10,07

Flood watches continue in western Washington through Sunday. Rainfall will persist along windward (west & southwest-facing) slopes of the Olympics and Cascades. Rainfall totals from 5-10" can be expected through early Monday along these slopes. At the same time, snow levels will be quite high (at or above 8000 feet) so rapid snow melt will add to the heavy rain. River flooding looks to be widespread in western Washington. Rainfall from 1-2" can be expected in the Seattle-Tacoma portland urban corridors. Heavy precipitation should end by Monday, as a cold front sweeps through, bringing snow levels back down to about 3000 feet. Sunday, rain and thunderstorms will be numerous in Oklahoma and West Texas. A few strong thunderstorms west of I-35 between the Red River and the Rio Grande may turn severe, with large hail the primary severe threat. Local rainfall totals from 1-3" may trigger flash flooding from southwest Oklahoma into West Texas through early Monday. Regarding the low's lumbering nature, the axis of most concentrated rain and thunderstorms may only shift to along and just east of the I-35 corridor in the Lone Star State during the day Monday. Tuesday, the stubborn rain may nudge eastward into the Piney Woods of east Texas, western Louisiana, and southwest Arkansas. Thanks to this slow movement, flash flooding will continue to be a concern.

2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5 SINS OF PEOPLE

2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

JUDE 12-16
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them (LUKEWARM LESTISTS) of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.(JESUS)
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

The way this Guy puts down the Bible believers in Israel just amazes me, now we know why the 21 judgements will be shot on the GODLESS of the Earth during the Tribulation Hour with remarks like this guy says.

Far-right and wrong, or how to ruin Judaism
By Bradley Burston MAR 10,07


For years, the members of the radical right have done their best to help ruin any chance for peace.

They've done quite a job.Given free rein, in the end they'd ruin Judaism as well, replacing it with their own belief system. If the rest of us would only let them.How would it look? Something like this perhaps:

THE NEW 13 ARTICLES OF FAITH

1. Jews have the full right, and the duty, to settle anywhere they choose in the biblically defined Land of Israel.

Author's note: No one in this world has the right to settle wherever they choose.

2. Settling the Land is a commandment of the highest order in Judaism.

Corollary:

3. Ceding land to Arabs under so-called peace deals is a sin. Judaism must revive the medieval concept of the moser, under which Jews who hand over Jewish land to gentiles, inform against fellow Jews or hand over fellow Jews to gentiles are guilty of capital crimes.

Author's note: The distortion of contemporary Judaism to a perverse extreme is especially evident in the works of the self-appointed Sanhedrin of leading far-right rabbis, whose rabbinical court recently pronounced overall IDF West Bank commander Yair Naveh, himself Orthodox, a moser for approving the eviction of 20 occupants of an illegal outpost.

Leaving aside the problematic issue of a Great Sanhedrin arbitrarily constituting itself after 1,650 years of inactivity, the ancient Sanhedrin was historically renowned, if for nothing else, for its marked reluctance to impose the death penalty.

4. Refusal of orders by leftist soldiers serving in the territories is an act of cowardice, self-hatred, treachery, defeatism.

5. Refusal of orders by rightist soldiers serving in the territories is an act of conscience, of uncommon valor, a defense of Jewish values, a historical necessity.

6. Meir Kahane was a saint and a prophet.

Author's note: Corollary - Racism against Arabs is thus not bigotry, but realism.

7. Baruch Goldstein was a saint and a savior.

Author's note: In Hebron, the second most holy city to Jews and the contemporary headquarters of twisting authentic Judaism into obscenity, Goldstein's grave has become a pilgrimage magnate for the Voodoo Jews who revere his massacre of 29 Muslims at prayer. Going obscenity one better, Goldstein chose for his terror attack the holiday of Purim, arguably the most joyous occasion on the Jewish calendar.

To hear the radical right tell it, Goldstein's action prevented an unimaginable terrorist plot from unfolding and murdering large numbers of Jews.

It was a fiction that has become an article of faith. Thus it is that radical rightist Jews have come to revere Goldstein not because of the lives - Arab and Jewish - that he saved as a physician, but because of those - exclusively Muslim - that he took as a gunman.

8. Leftist Jews are systematically destroying Israel. The leftist-dominated media foments and directs that process of destruction, through its treasonous criticism of right-wing governments.

9. Criticism by Jews of left-wing Israeli governments is a patriotic duty.

10. There is no difference between the Arabs of today and the Nazis of World War II. There is no such thing as a Palestinian people. The Arabs of the Land of Israel should be transferred to Muslim nations.

11. The Israel Defense Forces, the Border Police, and the Shin Bet, acting under the orders of left-leaning government officials, coddle the Palestinians and refrain from carrying out the kinds of operations that would put an end to terror once and for all.

12.Jews are no longer bound by the rabbinic prohibition against setting foot on the Temple Mount.

Author's note: No less an authority than Rabbi Abraham Isaac Hacohen Kook, first chief rabbi of British Mandatory Palestine, ruled that it is a Torah commandment that until the day of the resurrection, we are not permitted to even enter the courtyard of the Temple.

The fact that Jewish law can be summarily ignored or rescinded for reasons of politics and ideology does not bode well. Neither does the possibility that it can only be revamped for reasons of right-wing politics or ideology.

13. The Muslim occupation of the Temple Mount should be ended at the first opportunity, and the construction of the new Temple to begin. Jews, who everywhere in the world pray facing the direction of the Temple Mount, have a clear right to the site, in contrast to Muslims, who pray facing Mecca.

Author's note: For Jews to decide how much Muslims care about their holy sites is fully as wrong as Muslims deciding how much Jews care about theirs.

Among many of us, there is a tendency to discount the potency and the danger of the far right.

Perhaps this is because of the funhouse mirror carnival aspect of the ragtag righteous: the End of Days addicts, the Temple Mount groupies, the hilltop hormone punks, the Kahane-rama tubby hippies, the curiously mousy men of the Women in Green, the fanatical would-be settler, the gun nut, the Messiah crank, the Earthmother curser of Arab mothers, the thick of payes and the thin of patience, the wide of scullcap and the wild of eye, the would-have-been ghetto fighter and the might-have-been Maccabee.

What unites them? What do they know that we don't know? The destructive potential of the lunatic notion, the obscene plan, the crackpot mantra.They know that this is no joke. This is a struggle for the soul of Judaism. Ultimately, however, the result will not be up to them. It will be up to the rest of us.

Olmert, Abbas set to hold second summit MAR 10,07

JERUSALEM. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas hold their second summit in less than a month tomorrow but with few hopes of a breakthrough as both are facing major problems.Israeli and Palestinian officials have raised minimal expectations and different versions of the agenda ahead of the expected talks in Jerusalem where Abbas and Olmert will meet for the third time in as many months.I don’t want to raise the level of expectation, but this is nevertheless an important meeting, Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat said. The Palestinian president intended to raise a range of matters linked to final status peace talks, he said, and petition Olmert to expand a fragile November 26 Israeli-Palestinian truce in the Gaza Strip to the West Bank. We should consolidate this truce in order to be able to extend it to the West Bank" where Israeli arrests and raids take place daily, Erekat said.

But Israeli government spokeswoman Miri Eisin denied that the talks would broach either a ceasefire extension, as long as the arrangement is not respected in the Gaza Strip, or peace negotiations. The prime minister will notify Mr Abbas that Israel won’t be able to continue its policy of restraint for ever while the rocket fire continues, she said. More than 140 rockets fired from Gaza have hit Israel since the truce began.Neither will Olmert bring up negotiations talks, said Eisin, who instead presented the summit as an opportunity to keep the channel of dialogue open. She said Olmert would also ask Abbas to clarify how he spent US$100 million that Israel transferred after a December summit and part of US$600 million owed to the Palestinian Authority in tax receipts. According to Israeli media reports, the money was used to pay back debts owed by the Western-boycotted Hamas-led government, despite Israeli insistence that it be used only to bolster Abbas’s security forces and for humanitarian purposes. The summit comes with Israel and the Palestinian Authority deeply divided about an incoming Palestinian government due to unite Hamas blacklisted by the West as a terrorist organisation and Abbas’s moderate Fatah party.

Israel insists that it will continue to boycott any Palestinian administration that does not explicitly meet Western demands that it recognise Israel’s right to exist, renounce violence and abide by past peace agreements. The unity government, the makeup of which is expected to become known next week, is the product of a landmark power-sharing agreement signed by Abbas and Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal, whom Israel tried to assassinate in 1997.

Jordan's king urges Abbas to set clear goals to revive Mideast peacemaking The Associated PressPublished: March 10, 2007

AMMAN, Jordan: Jordan's King Abdullah II urged visiting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday to set clear goals for talks with the Israelis as the next step to reviving stalled Mideast peacemaking saying the momentum must be maintained.It's necessary to build on Arab and international efforts over the past few weeks to activate the peace process, Abdullah said in a royal palace statement issued after his talks with Abbas in the Jordanian capital.

He stressed the necessity to formulate a clear view of the objectives and results to be reached through the upcoming negotiations, referring to Abbas' meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday the second between the two leaders in a month.It's very important to establish this formula before the (U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza) Rice visit and the Arab summit at end of month, Abdullah said.Earlier in the week, Abdullah met with U.S. President George W. Bush and Rice in Washington where he urged officials in a speech to the U.S. Congress to quickly take the lead in creating conditions for a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

Today in Africa & Middle East

Iraqi leader requests regional aid to curb violence Kenyan police arrest key Al Qaeda suspect Disaster puts spotlight on Malian immigrants to U.S.The goal must be a peace in which all sides gain, he said. There must be a peace in which Israelis will be part of the neighborhood.Abbas briefed Abdullah on the formation of a unity government with the militant Hamas and efforts to prepare the necessary political groundwork to relaunching negotiations with Israel, the statement said.But both Israel and the Palestinians have acknowledged that they don't expect any major breakthroughs in Sunday's talks ahead of the formation of a new Palestinian government.Israel said it would not delve into the most important issues like the borders of a future Palestinian state unless the new Palestinian government meets international demands to renounce violence, recognize Israel and accept existing peace deals as demanded by the Quartet of Middle East mediators.The power-sharing deal falls short of those demands, but Abbas says its the best he can get from Hamas.

Olmert is expected to tell Abbas the new Palestinian government must meet the Quartet demands. Abbas will try to persuade Olmert to soften his opposition to the unity government.

Last month, Rice promised to return to the Middle East to push forward attempts to restart peacemaking after inconclusive talks with Abbas and Olmert.Arab states are also expected to reiterate their support for a 2002 land-for-peace offer to end the decades long conflict with Israel at a summit in Saudi Arabia later this month. It calls for the creation of a Palestinian state and the full recognition of Israel in return for an Israeli withdrawal from land seized by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war.Associated Press writer Shafika Mattar contributed to this report.
