Tropical quartet: 4 storms with more to come By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer Tue Sep 2, 4:57 PM ET

WASHINGTON - The tropics seem to be going crazy what with the remnants of Gustav, the new threat from Hanna, a strengthening Ike and newcomer Josephine. Get used to it. Hurricane experts say all the weather ingredients, which normally fluctuate, are set on boil for the formation of storms. And it's going to stay that way for a while, they said.Four named storms at the same time is a bit odd, but not unprecedented, meteorologists said. In 1995 five named storms lived simultaneously. And in 1998 there were four hurricanes at the same. But wait and see what happens next.Give us time, this is only Tuesday, said meteorologist Dennis Feltgren, spokesman for an all-too-busy hurricane center in Miami.The peak of hurricane season isn't until Sept. 10 and this season already has 10 named storms, which is the long-term average for an entire season.Normally in an active season, there are bunches of hurricanes and lulls. It just doesn't seem like there's been bunches of lulls. I sure hope we're not talking (hurricanes) Christmas Eve, said meteorology professor Hugh Willoughby at Florida International University.Two hurricane prognosticators — including William Gray, who pioneered the field of storm season forecasts — predicted Tuesday that this month would be almost twice as busy as an average September. They forecast five named storms, four of them hurricanes and two of them major.These latest predictions cover only September and are not a revision of the season-long forecast, which called for a total of nine Atlantic hurricanes through November.

The wind and water conditions that led to the September update will likely continue for the next month or so, said Phil Klotzbach of Colorado State University, co-author of the new report. But if history is any guide, those conditions should change sometime in October, he said.Wind shear — wind coming from a different direction at high altitude — often weakens a hurricane or at least puts the lid on some developing storms. But at the moment, the only wind shear in the entire Atlantic hurricane region is around Hanna, Feltgren said. So a major factor keeping other storms from forming or strengthening is absent, he said.Waves of clouds and thunderstorms this time of year head westward from northern Africa every couple days. Some become tropical storms and hurricanes and others just die down. Gustav, Hanna, Ike and Josephine all started as those waves. What's different right now is that all those waves from Africa head right into a brew of air and water conditions ideal for strengthening, Klotzbach.First, in the deep tropics, certain winds are blowing from the west and in the subtropics they are coming from the east, creating a propensity for spinning in between — which is the main hurricane development region — Klotzbach said. The current spin factor is among the top 20 percent in history, he said.Add to that the fact that water temperatures are slightly warmer than normal, Klotzbach and Feltgren said. Warm water serves as fuel for storms.And finally, Klotzbach factored into his forecast how the season has already been so far this year: Extremely busy. That means the atmosphere is unstable, which is good for storm development. He said the atmospheric pressure in the hurricane formation area is among the lowest it has ever been and storms are giant low pressure systems.

So Klotzbach advises to keep watching those waves coming off Africa: There may be one today or tomorrow. But certainly today we have enough to worry about with Hanna, Ike, Josephine and Gustav remnants to keep us all busy.On the Net:The National Hurricane Center: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml The Colorado State University forecast for September: http://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu./Forecasts/2008/sep2008/sep2008.pdf

Hanna dumps more rain on flood-plagued Haiti By JONATHAN M. KATZ, Associated Press Writer SEPT 03,08

SAINT-MARC, Haiti - Far-reaching Tropical Storm Hanna drenched flood-plagued Haiti on Wednesday, adding to the miseries of a country that has lost more than 100 lives to mudslides and flooding since mid-August. The storm that had been drifting south and east finally swung to the north on Wednesday. It was expected to sweep across the Bahamas and then start climbing along the U.S. coastline by the weekend, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami — with a 20 percent chance it could bring tropical storm force winds to New York City.Haitian authorities on Wednesday reported four more deaths caused by Hanna, raising the toll to 25.

Floodwaters swamped a hospital in the Les Cayes area, forcing nurses to move patients to higher floors. At least 5,000 people in Les Cayes remained in shelters, said Jean-Renand Valiere, a coordinator for the civil protection department.High water still prevented U.N. soldiers from reaching the western city of Gonaives, where the rise of muddy water drove people to seek refuge on rooftops Tuesday as wind gusts drove horizontal sheets of rain.They are screaming for help, said Iris Norsil, 20, who managed to escape the city.Water rose so much overnight near Gonaives that a bridge people crossed on Tuesday night was under water on Wednesday.

A convoy carrying Prime Minister Michele Pierre-Louis had to abandon efforts to reach Gonaives when one of the cars was nearly swept away, said Julian Frantz, a Haitian police officer with the group.The situation is as bad as it can be, said Vadre Louis, a U.N. official in Gonaives. The wind is ripping up trees. Houses are flooded with water. Cars can't drive on the street. You can't rescue anyone, wherever they may be.Haiti already had suffered scores of deaths due to flooding cause by Tropical Storm Fay and Hurricane Gustav in late August.Hanna was centered about 75 miles (125 kilometers) southwest of Grand Turk Island on Wednesday morning, with maximum sustained winds of near 60 mph (95 kph), the hurricane center said. Tropical storm force winds extended out as far as 290 miles (465 kilometers) in some areas — mostly to the north.It was moving north at about 6 mph (9 kph) but it was expected to cut through or near the central and northeastern Bahamas over the next couple of days. It could regain hurricane force by Thursday or Friday.Rain and wind were picking up in the Bahamas, where officials told residents they would shut down the water system Wednesday night.Even though we're not feeling the full effects of the storm, it is rough out there, said Chrystal Glinton, a spokeswoman for the National Emergency Management Agency. Persons have been warned to stay indoors. That's what they're doing. Waiting.Haiti is particularly vulnerable to devastating floods because of its steep hillsides that have been deforested to plant crops or make charcoal.Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Ike was cruising northwestward across the Atlantic with top winds near 70 mph (110 kph) and projected to near the Bahamas by Sunday as a hurricane, though the hurricane center cautioned that it is too early to determine what, if any land areas might be directly affected by Ike.Following behind was Tropical Storm Josephine, which grew stronger, with top winds near 65 mph (100 kph).And in the Pacific, Tropical Storm Karina weakened to a tropical depression Tuesday night and was expected to further weaken over the next few days.

Some 814,000 Entergy customers still without power Wed Sep 3, 8:40 AM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - More than 814,000 customers in Entergy Corp's service area in Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi remained without power Wednesday morning after Hurricane Gustav caused massive damage to the company's transmission system after making landfall in Louisiana Monday morning. Gustav cut power to almost 1.4 million homes and businesses in Louisiana and Mississippi on September 1-2, shut more than a dozen oil refineries and numerous oil and natural gas pipelines and other energy facilities.Entergy could not say when it would restore service to customers, noting Gustav was the second worst storm in the company's 95-year history and full restoration could take several weeks especially in the hardest hit areas in Louisiana.At the peak Tuesday morning, about 850,000 Entergy customers were without power primarily in Louisiana and Mississippi. The only larger number of outages Entergy customers have suffered in the past was when Hurricane Katrina knocked out service to 1.1 million in 2005.Elsewhere in Louisiana, Cleco Corp, of Pineville, Louisiana, said it still had about 173,000 customers without power down from over 240,000 on Sept. 2.Damage to Entergy's transmission system included 191 transmission lines and 210 substations out of service.The New Orleans and Baton Rouge area is essentially an island, no longer connected to the state's power grid, Entergy said, noting it could take workers several days to restore the lines and reattach the region to the rest of the system.The 400 MW Waterford 1 natural gas/oil-fired unit, the 1,804 MW gas/oil-fired Nine Mile Point station and the 1,204 MW gas/oil-fired Little Gypsy station were supplying all of the power to New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

Entergy shut the 967 MW River Bend nuclear power station in Louisiana Monday afternoon due to the loss of demand caused by extensive outages in the region.Before the storm hit, Entergy shut the 1,152 MW Waterford 3 nuclear power reactor in Louisiana Sunday night in anticipation of the heavy winds forecast.Both nuclear reactors remained shut Wednesday morning.One MW powers about 500 homes in Entergy's service territory.Entergy, of New Orleans, owns and operates about 30,000 MW of generating capacity, markets energy commodities, and transmits and distributes power to 2.7 million customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.(Reporting by Scott DiSavino; Editing by John Picinich)

Bush to inspect Louisiana hurricane damage Wed. By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer SEPT 03,08

WASHINGTON - President Bush is keeping hands-on in the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav, in contrast with his administration's slower response to the more devastating Hurricane Katrina three years ago. Bush left the White House Wednesday for a briefing at an emergency operations center in Baton Rouge, La., two days checking on command centers in Texas as the storm unfolded.We are thankful that the damage in New Orleans and across the Gulf Coast was less than many had feared, Bush said on the eve of his return to the area.I commend the governors of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas for their sure-handed response and seamless coordination with the federal government, Bush said Tuesday via satellite to the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn. I thank all of the wonderful volunteers who stepped forward to help their brothers and sisters in need.He urged Gulf Coast residents to wait for local officials to give them a green light to return to their homes.We know that there is still risk even after the storm has passed, he said. So I ask citizens across the region to listen closely to local officials and follow their instructions before returning to their homes.

The storm that struck the U.S. on Monday largely spared New Orleans and Louisiana, but neighborhoods remained without power and community water and sewage systems were not all working. Bush, who visited two Texas emergency command centers on Monday as Gustav lashed the coast, has declared a major disaster exists in Louisiana, where Gov. Bobby Jindal claims the state is at halftime in the Gustav ordeal.The first of the 2 million people who fled Gustav began to trickle home Tuesday from shelters, many grumbling about the wait for the all-clear. Some evacuees, particularly in Texas, on the far fringes of the storm's path, suggested authorities overreacted in demanding they leave their homes.Emergency officials, however, strongly defended the decision to evacuate coastal areas, saying it is better to be safe than sorry. That lesson was driven home by Katrina, which killed 1,600 people in 2005, compared with nine deaths attributed so far to Gustav.Officials noted that New Orleans' levees held, and Gustav struck only a glancing blow. But when trees fell on homes, power lines went down and roads were washed out, there were few people around to get hurt. And there was significant damage: Early insurance industry estimates put the expected damage to covered properties at anywhere from $2 billion to $10 billion. That's high, but well short of Katrina's $41 billion.More tests of the nation's hurricane preparedness may already be cued. Three storms were lining up in the open Atlantic Ocean, with Tropical Storm Hanna leading the way. Hanna has plenty of time to strengthen into a hurricane before possibly striking Florida and Georgia later in the week.

Flood-hit Indian state appeals for more help by Tripti Lahiri SEPT 03,08

SAHARSA, India (AFP) - Flood-hit northern India is in dire need of international aid on the level of that seen after the 2004 Asian tsunami, a state official said Wednesday. A large swathe of the already desperately poor state of Bihar is likely to remain under water for several months, leaving authorities coping with millions of people who have lost everything, officials and aid workers said.We will definitely need the support of international organisations and agencies, the same as after the tsunami (in 2004) or the Gujarat earthquake in 2001, said Bihar disasters minister Nitish Mishra.It is not possible for just the government to have a complete rehabilitation policy on its own. Whatever more is available, we need it.The flooding started on August 18, when a river burst through defences upstream in Nepal and changed course to cut across a large rural area in Bihar state.The UN has said at least a million people are homeless, although the aid group Save the Children said the figure could be five times higher.Half a million have fled This is six times the number of people that were made homeless by the cyclone in Myanmar four months ago and 7.5 times the number of people in India that were made homeless after the tsunami in 2004, the agency said.The reported death toll is not high, but the number of people affected by this flooding is on an unimaginable scale.Officials said work to fix the flood walls and divert the Kosi river back to its normal course cannot begin before the rainy season ends in October, and is unlikely to be completed before early next year.About 600,000 people have been plucked from the flood plains. Many more have waded out themselves, but 350,000 more still need to be saved from roofs or isolated high ground and brought to safety, they say.However aid workers said that in some areas the currents were still too strong, and that much of the food being dropped by air had landed in water.All the wells and water sources are gone. We foresee a scarcity of water, milk, food. Crops have been destroyed. Land will not be fit for cultivation for six to seven months after the waters recede, said S.P. Singh, Red Cross chief in Bihar.

Aditi Kapur of the British aid group Oxfam said authorities were still struggling to come to terms with the disaster.The magnitude is greater than what the state has been able to handle. No one was prepared. More needs to be done, she told AFP.

Evacuated villagers, some with buffaloes and cows they managed to rescue, have crowded into every safe building on the edge of the vast flood plain. Schools, universities, temples and madrassas have all turned into shelters.In the worst-hit areas near the town of Saharsa, 150 kilometres (95 miles) east of the state capital Patna, only tree-tops were visible above the water.Some families were camped on road embankments.Hira Sada, a 60-year-old farmer, said his village was neck-deep in water -- leaving him and his extended family stuck on a road along with some livestock they managed to save. We can't go back for at least three months. But what can we do? There is no work, he said.

SINS OF PEOPLE

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.

DECIEVERS WAXING WORSE AND WORSE.

The CARMEL ALERT Aug 29th 2008 A compilation of news reports from the past week for the information of those committed to praying for Israel and the salvation of the Jewish people.David's Comment: When Will They Ever Learn ?

Isaiah 5:20-23 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe to men mighty at drinking wine, woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink, Who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away justice from the righteous (NKJ)

Who are they ? Our political leaders of course. What is it they never seem to learn
? Firstly, to fly in the face of YHVH when it comes to Abortion, Homosexuality and Israel. Obviously they have absolutely no idea that the Creator of the Universe can be a Consuming Fire when HE needs to be. One day the men and women who make and change the laws of our countries will have to stand before YHVH and face judgement and eternal damnation for the abominations that they voted in. And for the righteousness and prayer to God that they voted out. Unless they repent and begin to walk the other way, they will be found guilty of the charge that the opening verse declares.Woe to those who bear the responsibility for the murder of unborn babies, and today they even kill babies as they are being born. The politicians who have opened wide the doors to abortion and the medical personal who carry it out are guilty of the mass murder of innocent human beings. I believe that God will take an extremely dim view of the guilty ones and they will be no excuses.There are only a few things that YHVH calls an abomination and homosexuality is one of them. Sick people who see themselves as Christians, manipulate and lie about the scriptures to try to convince themselves, and those who desire to practice that filthy abomination, that the Bible condones homosexuality. That is a full 80 degrees from the truth. Both the Hebrew scriptures and the New Testament clearly define it as a sin punishable by death. Physical death under the Old Covenant and eternal spiritual condemnation under the New Covenant.

And when it comes to Israel, the politicians and even many in the Church are ignorant of or do not understand Genesis 12:3. YHVH says that He will bless those who bless Israel and He will curse or destroy those who curse or take Israel lightly. Pressure is once again being applied to Israel by the US government. As the departure of Ehud Olmert, Israel's most inept and corrupt prime minister draws near, ( mid September hopefully ) and US President George W Bush's 2nd term comes to its natural end, the focus is once again on forcing through a peace treaty before
the two above mentioned leaders leave office.President Bush sent Condalesa Rice back to Israel this past Monday and Tuesday. She came to apply intense pressure on the Israeli government to stop settlement expansion and to push through the plans for a Palestinian State on the land the YHVH gave to the Jewish descendants of Abraham,
Isaac & Jacob as an eternal inheritance ( see Psalm 105 verses 6 - 11 ) Somehow Bush and Rice who both claim to be true Christians must never have read Psalm 105 or Genesis 15:18 - 21. And it must be that they don't take the Word of YHVH
seriously when He says that He will destroy those who come against Israel and the Jewish people. If I was them I would be shaking in my boots ! Our leaders will pay the price in the long term, but because of their power and wealth they may escape the immediate consequences of their actions, while the citizens of their countries
may pay a very high price as the retribution of YHVH begin to strike their nations. In light of the fact that it seems to be the USA that is applying the most pressure on Israel to give up land that rightfully belongs to the Jewish people, not to mention the redivision of Jerusalem, the dwelling place of God on Earth, a
catastrophe of great magnitude is highly likely to strike the United States.

The message of this comment is ......... it is a foolish and dangerous act to oppose the God of Israel - be it in respect to Abortion, Homosexuality or the apple of His eye - His land and His people - ISRAEL WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN ?

The Lord bless you as you bless Israel by standing in defense of her right to exist on the land given to the Jewish people by the God of Israel Lets pray that Israel will turn back to their God. Do not be silent, but share this with your fellow Christians, share it with your pastors, and with anyone you have a chance to speak to. Lets also pray for that breakthrough to the Muslims, and please remember to pray for our son Jordan, and all of his fellow soldiers in the IDF.

Shabbat Shalom ... David & Josie

* * * * FLASH TRAFFIC: WASHINGTON UPDATE * * * * IT'S A DEAD HEAT -- AGAIN
Governor Palin dramatically shakes up the race as Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Mahmoud bear down on the U.S. and Israel By Joel C. Rosenberg

(Washington, D.C., September 1, 2008) -- Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden got a 10 point bounce coming out of their impressively orchestrated convention. They had been down two points going in; they were ahead by eight on Friday. But McCain's stunning choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has dramatically changed the equation. According to a new poll out Sunday morning by John Zogby, McCain and Palin had a two point lead over Obama/Biden, 47% to 45%. A new CNN poll released Monday morning has Obama/Biden at 49% vs. McCain/Palin at 48%. That's a dead heat - again. But the momentum is now McCain's going into a very challenging week. A Republican convention. A hurricane moving towards the Gulf coast. An economy that's rebounding (up 3.3% last quarter). The Russian Bear reemerging. And the possiblity of a major war in the Middle East this fall. I have to say that I am very impressed with Governor Palin and moved by her story. I love her family, love the fact her son signed up for the Army last 9/11 and is headed for Iraq this fall, love that she's a pro-life conservative, love the major reforms she has already accomplished in Alaska, love that she took on and defeated corrupt Republicans, love that she cancelled the bridge to nowhere, love that she's given huge oil revenue rebates to the working families of Alaska, love her expertise on oil and gas issues and her ability to get passed a $40 billion pipeline to bring Alaskan natural gas through Canada to the lower 48. Wow. This is good stuff. The media is loathe to say it, but the truth is she has done more in her 13 years in elected office that Obama has with his 100-plus present votes in the Illinois Legislature and his paper-thin record in the Senate.

[Must-read interview by CNBC's Maria Bartiromo with Gov. Palin: Drilling in Alaska is going to be a matter of life and death. Up here in Alaska, we're bursting with billions of barrels of oil that are warehoused underground. We have to pump [this oil] and feed our hungry markets instead of relying on the foreign sources of energy….I think some in Congress have misconceptions about what ANWR [Arctic National Wildlife Refuge] is all about and what Alaska is all about. When you talk about ANWR and the area that needs to be unlocked so that we can explore more and develop these billions of barrels of oil, it's a swath of land that's about 2,000 acres in size-and that's out of a 20 million-acre plain that has been set aside. So 2,000 acres, that's like a postage stamp on a football field. It's about the footprint-size of LAX [airport]. And I think a lot of people have assumed that it's some mountainous, green valley-an area so extremely pristine that wildlife would be adversely affected; land, water, air would be adversely affected if those 2,000 acres were allowed to be tapped. And that is not true. We have very, very stringent oversight up here in Alaska with our resource development. We would even ramp up that oversight to a greater degree if people would understand the importance of unlocking that swath of land and let the development begin….Just that swath of land in that refuge alone is estimated to hold about 11 billion barrels of oil and 9 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. And those are just the areas that have been explored. That's about a year and a half worth of U.S. oil consumption and many months of natural gas. It's about a trillion dollars worth of energy. And that's-again-just that sliver of ANWR. So when we hear, Well, maybe there isn't enough, or Well, it's too late to drill now anyway, we should have done this five, 10 years ago, hey, I can't argue that. I say yeah, we should have done that years ago. But better to start that drilling today than wait and continue relying on foreign sources of energy. We are a nation at war and in many [ways] the reasons for war are fights over energy sources, which is nonsensical when you consider that domestically we have the supplies ready to go.] That said, it remains to be seen whether Governor Palin is ready to be Commander in Chief and the leader of the Free World if something happens to McCain. I want to believe she is, but count me from Missouri on this one - from the show me state. The Governor is really going to have to prove herself in the days and weeks ahead by what she says and how she says it. How well does she understand the Putin threat and how to handle a resurgent Russia? How well does she understand the threat of Radical Islam and how to handle Iran, Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan? How well does she understand the rise of China, India and Brazil as global game-changers and what they mean to U.S. security and the global economy? These are the defining foreign policy issues of our time. Sens. Obama and Biden have demonstrated dismal judgment on each of them. This gives the Governor an opening to prove that she has better instincts and the right judgment. I am not one who believes that people from small town America and governors from states with small populations don't get it and can't get it. I don't believe that Americans from Washington, D.C. necessarily understand the country and the world better than those from Arizona and Alaska. To the contrary, as someone who grew up in a small town in upstate New York and has now lived in the D.C. area for nearly two decades, I'm highly skeptical of inside the Beltway elitism.. So bring it on, Governor Palin. Show us what you've got. I want to believe. Many Americans do.

One more thing: Sen. McCain and Governor Palin have a real opportunity to prove themselves to be different kinds of leaders with how they handle this hurricane about to hit the Gulf Coast. I'm praying the natural disaster does not hit, or the damage is minimal. But if it hits hard, I'd love to see the Governor mobilize the Alaskan National Guard to fly in relief supplies to help those devastated. I'd love to see her work with governors throughout the South to mobilize volunteers to help. This could be the Governor's best possible introduction to the American people - show us you can lead effectively in a crisis, not just issue a press release or give a glitzy speech like your political rivals. Palin is not to be underestimated, says John Zogby. Her real strength is that she is authentic, a real mom, an outdoors person, a small town mayor….She is also a reformer. A very important demographic in this election is going to be the politically independent woman, 15% of whom in our latest survey are undecided. In the final analysis, this election will be about Obama vs. McCain. Obama has staked out ground as the new JFK - a new generation, literally and figuratively, a new face of America to the world, a man who can cross lines and work with both sides. But McCain is the modern day Harry Truman - with lots of DC experience, he knows what is wrong and dysfunctional with Washington and how to fix it, and he has chosen a running mate who is about as far away from Washington as he could find.

JACK VAN IMPE WILL HAVE A NEW SET WITH TVS FOR NEWS CLIPS LIKE THE SECULAR STATIONS. PLEASE DONATE TO HIS MINISTRY TO MAKE IT THE BEST PROPHECY STATION IN THE WORLD FOR OUR KING JESUS THE GOD OF ISRAEL AND THE WORLD.http://www.jvim.com/

A MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM DR. JACK VAN IMPE What Is the Adversary's Role in our sufferings? SEPT 03,08

When affliction, suffering, or trouble strikes, it is not unusual for those afflicted, or for family members and friends, to suggest that the devil is to blame. We want to affix blame, if not on the devil, then on God or maybe on the one who is suffering. Surely there is a cause, a reason for all this.We've briefly examined events in the lives of Adam and Eve, Job, and the apostle Paul, and we have, in fact, seen that the devil did have his hand in bringing suffering and trouble into their lives. Remember Paul's comment that his thorn in the flesh was the messenger of Satan to buffet him (see 2 Corinthians 12:7)? One man, a failed-suicide, expressed the belief that the devil was responsible for his giving in to the urge to do away with himself. He said he felt like a pawn in a chess game going on between God and the devil. He felt he was being manipulated by both sides. This man's life was spared when a friend came to him before the overdosed medicine could do its deadly work. God, in His mercy, affected that rescue. There is much in Scripture which teaches that God's sovereign will in the affairs of men and nations will be accomplished. Here are just a few examples:A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps (Proverbs 16:9). We . . . being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will (Ephesians 1:11).

The devil is an adversary, and his many schemes to disturb the Christian's peace and bring unhappiness and suffering upon mankind have been with us since the Fall. However, we must recognize the clear teaching of the Bible that God both orders and controls all things. Satan does not always win. We are told in 1 Corinthians 15:26 that, The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.Satan won a real victory in his temptation of Adam and Eve. They fell into his trap just as many people still do today in so many different ways. Yet, we Christians must recognize that Isaiah 25:8 is also in the Bible when we are confronted with this final blow of the enemy. It is a strong promise that provides sure footing for those who are trusting in God's sovereignty:He [the Lord] will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.Death is an enemy. Suffering and affliction often precede this enemy. This is all a part of the strategic battle plan between Satan and God, but the final victory for the Christian is God's. His solution to the thorns in the flesh and to death is to usher us into His presence in His own good time. And when that moment comes, the prophet Isaiah wrote, And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation (Isaiah 25:9).

Those Unfathomable Secret Things

I do not pretend to understand why God didn't stamp out the devil in the Garden of Eden nor why in God's sovereignty some of the choicest saints, it appears, suffer so greatly. I know of a 65-year-old single woman, an unclaimed blessing; who worked hard and supported herself all her life. She was never a burden to others. She finally decided to retire and was looking forward to moving into a small new apartment. It has a balcony so I can raise geraniums and other plants; she told me. Then suddenly, she was struck down with horrible stroke, which left her totally paralyzed on one side from her face down to her feet. Now she suffers alone in a convalescent center, unable to walk, talk well, or care for herself. I do not understand that.Nor do I understand why the enemy death should rob Mary Dorr of the love and presence of her bright and promising young college-age son. His death came shortly after the tragic death of her husband who died while flying his private plane. It was only through the Lord's intervention that Mary's other son, who was with his father when he died, was able to bring that plane safely in for a landing. A year or so after this, Mary went through the death experience again when this second son died in his sleep at home.When we hear about things like this, we often say, It just doesn't make sense. From our vantage point, many of these things do not seem to have any rhyme or reason. But I like what Barbara Johnson told Rexella, These are heartache situations, but God doesn't always promise a quick end to heartache situations: Then she called attention to Deuteronomy 29:29, The secret things belong unto the Lord our God . . . .Barbara added, No, we don't understand these secret situations - why God allows a beautiful 20year-old Christian boy to go off the deep end and get involved in a homosexual lifestyle (or some other problem), bringing such sorrow and heartache to his family and to others. But through it all, I can tell you, God has used it to mold and shape us and to bring a depth of trusting Him into our lives unlike anything we ever experienced before. Through sorrow there can come joy and peace. It comes as you relinquish yourself and the secret situation causing you such heartache into the hands of God, and then God releases you so that you can reach out in loving care to others who need help . . . .

Barbara and others who have known deep suffering are testimonies to God's grace. I have heard them say they are glad that God has thrown a veil, as it were, across their way so that they haven't known what the immediate future held. We may not know the future, but we can know the One who holds the future in His hands and simply take life a step at a time. We can walk moment-by-moment with the One who controls our steps as well as our stops.I've heard people say, When I get to heaven, I'm going to ask the Lord . . . . Then they will name the event that has brought such heartache to them or to others. But in the next breath I've heard many of those same people admit, Still, I know that when I get to heaven all that has happened here won't matter there because all the pain, the sorrow, and the tears will be done. And how biblical that is. The Bible assures us that God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away (Revelation 21:4).The apostle Paul talked of the mortal putting on immortality, and then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:54-57). Paul is saying that God continues daily to give us this victory.

Doing Battle With the Prince of This World

Satan, as the prince of this world (see John 12:31; Revelation 12:9), has a certain degree of power which he wields, especially against Christians. After all, why should the devil go after people in the world when he already has them in his sway? The Christians are his enemies.The apostle Paul writes of the battle of the heavenlies and the work of the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience (Ephesians 2:2).Satan's camouflaged attacks come in many forms. We are warned that they will come:Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8).

But we are also told:

Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world (1 Peter 5:9).

And we are promised:

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you (1 Peter 5:10).In Hebrews 11 we have what is often referred to as The Roll Call of Faith." There we have a definition of faith: Now faith is the substance [assurance] of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (v. 1). What does faith do? It gives substance to our hope.These heroes and heroines of the faith demonstrated their faith in spite of suffering, affliction, pain, problems, and not being able to understand the Whys? of their particularly difficult circumstances. We are the recipients of the lessons their faithfulness teaches. After naming many of the Old Testament people, almost breathlessly, it seems, the writer says, And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of. . . Then he names others (see verse 32) and goes on to say:Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth (vv. 33-38).But the writer doesn't stop with that catalog of horrors. He goes on to remind us that these all, having obtained a good report through faith went on to their eternal reward. He speaks of them as being so great a cloud of witnesses and urges that we lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and . . . run with patience the race that is set before us (Hebrews, 12:1).

Still the writer is not finished. We are told how we can do this:

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds (vv. 2, 3).

Satan's planned afflictions are designed specifically to wear us down, to weary us, to exhaust us, to make us lose heart, and to turn against God. All too often we are tempted to murmur, complain, and criticize - and in these ways to give up on the Lord. Oh, how much we need to learn that WE CAN BE OVERCOMERS through the blood of the Lamb (see Revelation 12:11). The wedges Satan attempts to put between us and the Father are real, and they are designed to make us stop loving and trusting God. Satan, you see, is attacking God indirectly through His children. At such times we must shout boldly for any and all to hear, Thanks be to God who giveth the victory through the Lord Jesus Christ! That is the only way to do battle with this enemy of our souls.

FROM THE HEART OF DR. REXELLA VAN IMPEA Blaze of Glory

That day is coming, dear one... The day we shall see Christ as He is. At that final moment of earth’s history for us, will He find us blazing bright with His message of love and hope? I think of the maple trees across the street from our house. One autumn season, what a glorious display of red, yellow, brown and purple we were treated to when those leaves began to turn! When the evening sun came shining through the leaf-covered boughs, each tree seemed to be on fire.When I was home, I enjoyed looking over at those glorious maples. I was a little sad when the last leaves fell and only skeleton-like arms were left silhouetted against the winter sky.

I waited for spring and new leaves on those trees, but the new buds never sprouted. I was shocked to see my neighbor cutting down the lifeless limbs and dead trunks.

How could trees that had been so beautiful just last fall be dead in spring? Someone explained to me what had happened: the trees sense when they are in their last season, and they pour all their remaining strength into one last spectacular display --

They go out in a blaze of glory!

Like nature, the Bible is full of examples of this final blaze of glory. Think of Samson, whose entire existence was reduced to turning a grind stone for the Philistines, in his eternally dark, blind state.Yet when he was brought into the Philistine coliseum to entertain them, the Bible says:And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left. And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life (Judges 16:29-30).

At the wedding in Cana of Galilee, Jesus turned water into wine when the bridegroom ran out of wine. And his guests declared: Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now (John 2:10).Job had a full, rich life until tragedy struck him. Then he went through some of the most trying times ever endured by a human being, but he stayed true to God, and it was said of him, So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning (Job 42:12).There is a tremendous lesson for all of us in this. Without a doubt, we are living in the last season of this old world. All the prophetic signs tell us time will soon wind down. In the short time left to us, we as Christians should be like the maple tree and prepare to end this final season in a blaze of glory! Think of it! We're in the last harvest of souls this world will ever see before Jesus comes. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest (John 4:35).Knowing the season, we must expend every resource and every bit of strength at our disposal to light up the world with the reflected glory of our Savior. Let us shine our brightest today... Show our truest colors now. There will not be another season.Wife and mother, this may be the last month or week... or day you will spend with your family. Pour out your love on your husband and children. Husband and father, this may be your last opportunity to make your home a glorious place to live, full of joy and love and excitement. Do it now! Dear friend, how can you go out with a blaze of glory? There are simple acts of kindness you can do: a heart-felt compliment, a word of encouragement, a friendly phone call to a lonely acquaintance. They may be little things, but like each individual maple leaf, they can fill your life-tree full!

Dr. Van Impe and I need your continued prayer support as we try to make this season of our ministry the most glorious of all and proclaim to the world: Jesus is coming soon -- perhaps today! The Scripture says...For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord ... For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night (1 Thessalonians. 4:16-5:2).Remember to pray for us, even as we pray for you. Ask God to give us so much strength, energy, vision and anointing that, like Job, the end of our lives will be greater than the beginning. As the Scriptures tell and as the signs of the times clearly show, the coming of our Lord is at hand. Let's rise to meet Him in joy and triumph, going up in a blaze of glory!

India Violence a Sign of Christianophobia, Says Archbishop By Anne Thomas
Christian Today Reporter Tue, Sep. 02 2008 10:12 AM EDT

The international community must demonstrate the same commitment to wiping out growing Christianophobia as to tackling anti-Semitism or Islamophobia, the Vatican’s foreign minister said on Friday. Archbishop Dominique Mamberti was speaking as Hindu mobs continue to go on the rampage against Christians in India’s Orissa state in retaliation for the killing of a Hindu leader, despite the Indian government saying that Maoists are most likely responsible for the murder. At least 13 people have been killed in the violence and hundreds of Christian churches and homes have been burned down. Mamberti said religious freedom is fundamental to upholding human dignity. In order to promote this dignity in an integral way, so-called Christianophobia should be combated as decisively as Islamophobia and anti-Semitism, he said. More than 3,000 people, mainly Christians, have fled from their homes to government-run relief camps or surrounding forests. Gospel for Asia President K.P. Yohannan said that at least 12 members of Gospel for Asia-related churches had been killed in the violence, although the exact death toll remains unconfirmed. He called the violence unprecedented in his 30 years of ministry in south Asia. I have never seen persecution so bad in my life and I have seen a lot of opposition to the Gospel over the years, said Yohannan. Orissa has a long history of persecution against Christians. The current outbreak of violence follows a wave of attacks on Christians by Hindu radicals in Orissa last Christmas. In 1999, Australian missionary Graham Staines and his two sons were brutally murdered by anti-Christian militants.

Christians in other parts of the world, particularly the Middle East, face intense persecution. Earlier this year, churches were bombed in Mosul while the Chaldean Archbishop of Mosul was abducted and found dead two weeks later. Christians in Iraq believe that the attacks were part of an ongoing campaign by Islamic extremists to drive Christians out of the country. Last month, the Pope appealed to Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri-al-Maliki to do more to protect Iraq’s dwindling Christian population.

JERUSALEM DIVIDED

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Warning: Jerusalem on chopping block September 03, 2008 1:00 am Eastern
By Aaron Klein 2008 WND

JERUSALEM – Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is lying to the world. He has repeatedly denied he is negotiating ceding territory in Jerusalem to the Palestinians, but I can confirm with absolute confidence Olmert's government is currently discussing the division of Jerusalem as part of talks aimed at creating a Palestinian state, at least on paper, by the end of the year.But most Israelis and Americans, including the influential U.S. Jewish community, are in the dark about the Jerusalem negotiations, allowing the Israeli government to continue the virtual chopping up of Israel's capital city without any major protest or distraction.Olmert's plan seems to be to wait until the last minute, until just before signing a binding document that will be guaranteed by a letter from the U.S. president, to announce Jerusalem is being negotiated.The U.S. government, by the way, is heavily involved in the Jerusalem negotiation process, offering the Israeli and Palestinian teams staged proposals on how to split the holy city and pressing Israel to include pledges to evacuate parts of Jerusalem in a document expected to be released before January outlining a Palestinian state.Olmert is tactfully dancing around admitting he's negotiating Jerusalem in part because of commitments to his governing coalition partner, the ultra-Orthodox Shas Party, which has claimed it would bolt Olmert's plurality government if Jerusalem is discussed during the intense, almost daily Israeli-Palestinian meetings that were initiated at last-November's U.S.-sponsored Annapolis conference.A minor problem for Olmert is that his official Kadima Party platform calls for Jerusalem to remain united.

According to informed sources, Jerusalem talks are being held under secretive conditions, with a small number of Israelis and Palestinians on each negotiating team. The Israeli team is led by Olmert and Foreign Minister Tzippy Livni, a front-runner for this month's leadership primary in Olmert's Kadima Party.Olmert has pledged to resign after a new Kadima leader is installed, but he could stay on as prime minister if the new Kadima leader fails to form a stable government coalition, precipitating new general elections in 90 days and giving Olmert some more time in power. Indeed, Olmert has told Palestinian negotiators he expects to remain in office beyond September to conclude an agreement.Olmert likely figures he can deny Jerusalem is being negotiated up until it is time for a Palestinian state document to be issued, and by then it will be difficult to stop. And Israelis, Palestinians and Americans are working overtime to ensure that document comes soon.Some members of Olmert's Kadima Party are well aware Olmert and Livni are ceding parts of Jerusalem during negotiations.Just last week, senior Kadima member and Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz accused Livni of dividing Jerusalem, stating he heard that Livni had made concessions on Jerusalem during talks with the Palestinians. But Mofaz's statements didn't really penetrate.Until the past few days, Olmert steadfastly denied Jerusalem is even up for future negotiation. But the prime minister's office finally allowed Olmert's spokesman, Mark Regev, at least to concede Jerusalem will one day be on the negotiating table, explaining a mechanism has been created to deal with the issue of Jerusalem.Of all the final status core issues, the issue of Jerusalem is probably the most difficult, and unlike some of the other issues, we have yet to start negotiating the future of Jerusalem. Therefore, in order to not let the process fall victim to its weakest link, we have the establishment of an agreed upon mechanism that would continue to deal with Jerusalem. That mechanism was created in such a way that it would address the concern of both sides, Regev told me in response to a query.Regev would not detail which mechanism had purportedly been created to discuss Jerusalem or when such discussions may take place.Regev commented amid Israeli news media reports last week stating Olmert presented Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas with a plan for international parties to contribute proposals on how both sides should negotiate the status of Jerusalem. Olmert and Abbas met for a round of advanced talks last week.The Israeli media reports, though, are weeks too late.Senior Israeli and Palestinian diplomatic sources confirmed to me both sides are well along negotiating Jerusalem with input from the international community and with Palestinian officials claiming the talks are in advance stages.

One Palestinian negotiator described as crazy the intensity and frequency of Israeli-Palestinian talks in recent weeks, saying both sides have been meeting on a daily basis, usually at the highest levels.The negotiator said the two teams are closer than ever on coming to an agreement on the status of Jerusalem.This claim was verified by other diplomatic sources involved in the negotiations.The Palestinian negotiator said Jerusalem would be divided along the framework of the 2000 U.S.-brokered Camp David accords. He said the general philosophy for dividing Jerusalem would be Arab for Arab and Jew for Jew, meaning that most Arab-majority eastern sections of Jerusalem would be granted to the Palestinian Authority while Israel would retain Western, Jewish-majority sections.Israel recaptured eastern Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount – Judaism's holiest site – during the 1967 Six Day War. The Palestinians have claimed eastern Jerusalem as a future capital. About 244,000 Arabs live in Jerusalem, mostly in eastern neighborhoods. Jerusalem has an estimated total population of 724,000, the majority Jewish.A number of Arab-majority eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods widely regarded as slated for a Palestinian state include large numbers of Arabs who live on Jewish-owned land illegally. The Jewish National Fund, a U.S.-based nonprofit, owns hundred of acres of eastern Jerusalem land in which tens of thousands of Arabs illegally constructed homes the past few decades. Arabs are now the majority on the Jewish-owned land in question.According to top diplomatic sources, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who visited the region last week, pressed Israel to sign a document by the end of the year that would include Jerusalem by offering the Palestinians a state in Israel's capital city as well as in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.The Israeli team would rather conclude an agreement on paper by the end of the year that would give the Palestinians a state in the West Bank, Gaza and some Israeli territory, leaving conclusions on Jerusalem for a later date, the informed diplomatic sources said.The sources said the Palestinian team has been pushing to conclude a deal by January on all core issues, including Jerusalem, and has been petitioning the U.S. to pressure Israel into signing an agreement on paper that offers the Palestinians eastern Jerusalem.Rice, the sources said, has asked Israeli leaders to bend to what the U.S. refers to as a compromise position, concluding an Israeli-Palestinian agreement by the end of the year that guarantees sections of Jerusalem to the Palestinians. But Israel would not be required to withdraw from Jerusalem for a period of one to five years.America, meanwhile, has provided the Israelis and Palestinians with a specific plan to split Jerusalem.

One U.S. plan for Jerusalem was divided into timed phases, and among other things called for Israel eventually to consider forfeiting parts of the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site.According to the first stage of the U.S. proposal, Israel would initially give the PA some municipal and security sovereignty over key Arab neighborhoods in eastern Jerusalem. The PA would be allowed to open some official institutions in Jerusalem, could elect a mayor for the Palestinian side of the city and would deploy some kind of so-called basic security force to maintain law and order. The specifics of the force were not detailed in the plan.The initial stage also calls for the PA to operate Jerusalem municipal institutions, such as offices to oversee trash collection and maintenance of roads.After five years, if both sides keep specific commitments called for in a larger principal agreement, according to the U.S. plan, the PA would be given full sovereignty over agreed upon eastern Jerusalem neighborhoods and discussions would be held regarding an arrangement for the Temple Mount. The plan doesn't specify which parts of the Temple Mount could be forfeited to the Palestinians or whether an international force may be involved.

The PA also could deploy official security forces in Jerusalem separate from a non-defined basic force after the five-year period and could also open major governmental institutions, such as a president's office, and offices for the finance and foreign ministries.The U.S. plan leaves Israel and the PA to negotiate which Jerusalem neighborhoods would become Palestinian.It was unclear whether the U.S. proposals were accepted, but what is clear is that Jerusalem is on the chopping block. When this becomes mainstream knowledge, when it will be almost too late for protest, don't say I didn't warn you.

Palestinians study options if peace talks fail By Wafa Amr
Wed Sep 3, 8:29 AM ET

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Support among Palestinians for a binational state with Israel will grow should U.S.-brokered talks on creating an independent Palestine fail, a Palestinian think tank forecast in a new report released on Wednesday. Israel has long rejected the idea of becoming a binational country, in which Jews would lose their majority. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said he remains committed to a two-state solution despite slow-moving negotiations.A 50-page document, formulated by the Palestine Strategy Studies Group (PSSG) and titled Palestinian Strategic Options to End the Israeli Occupation, noted Palestinian frustration over Jewish settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank.If the current negotiations fail, Palestinians will be driven to replace the 1988 (two-state solution) offer (by the Palestine Liberation Organization) by a new strategy, not just rhetorically but in reality, the report said.The negotiated two-state outcome will then be definitely cancelled, it added.The PSSG is made up of 30 Palestinian intellectuals and professionals from the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and the diaspora. The study was funded by the European Union.The document has sparked a debate within the Palestinian society on the next steps to be taken should negotiators fail to meet Washington's goal of achieving at least a framework peace deal by the end of the year.Palestinian negotiators have said that Israeli proposals fall short of Palestinian aspirations for a viable state on lands Israel captured during the 1967 Middle East war.Abbas plans to meet U.S. President George W. Bush on September 26 on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly session in New York, Palestinian Information Minister Riyad al-Malki said on Wednesday.

OPTIONS

We must be prepared with options and scenarios, Palestinian writer Hani al-Masri, a member of the PSSG, told Reuters.The document lists a number of options, including a binational state. It doesn't say the two-state solution must be ruled out but it says that the two-state solution is being eradicated by settlements and Israeli facts on the ground, Masri said, referring to the Jewish enclaves on occupied land.

The Palestinian leadership has also started debating options if no deal is reached.

Senior Abbas aide Yasser Abed Rabbo said one possibility under discussion was a unilateral declaration of independence.The idea caused an international uproar in 1999 when then-Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat threatened to declare statehood in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.The entire Palestinian discourse must change. Our aim is to end the occupation and not have a process without peace, Fatah official Mohammad Ishtayeh, a member of the PSSG, told Reuters.Another PSSG member, Samir Abu Eisheh, a former cabinet minister close to the Islamist Hamas group that controls the Gaza Strip, said options included placing that territory and the West Bank under international trustreeship.

12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

ISAIAH 60:9-10

3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Jerusalem dig uncovers ancient city walls SEPT 03,08

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli archaeologists unveiled on Wednesday a 2,100-year-old Jerusalem perimeter wall -- along with beer bottles left behind by 19th century researchers who first discovered the stone defences. The wall, on Mount Zion at the southern edge of Jerusalem's Old City, dates back to the Second Jewish Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in AD 70.Yehiel Zelinger, who headed the excavation for the Israel Antiquities Authority, said the location of the wall indicated that Jerusalem had expanded to the south at the time, reaching its largest size in biblical times.The 3.2-metre (10.5-foot)-high wall was not supported by any mortar or other bonding material and formed part of a 6 km (3.5-mile)-long fortification around the city, he said.The present wall around Jerusalem's Old City is 4 km (2.5 miles) in circumference.The ancient wall on Mount Zion had disappeared from view by the time a similar stone barrier, also uncovered in the dig, was built at the site during the Byzantine period more than 250 years later. Nonetheless, the second wall followed almost exactly the same path.During these two periods, Jerusalem was the centre ... to the Jews during the Second Temple Period and to pilgrims from the Christian world (during the Byzantine Period), Zelinger said.British archaeologists surveyed the site in the 19th century, leaving behind a shoe and beer and wine bottles, which Zelinger's team found and put on display on Wednesday.(Reporting by Avida Landau, Editing by Mark Trevelyan)

WorldNetDaily Exclusive John Bolton defends Palin's foreign policy cred
Contends Alaska governor's executive energy critical to success September 03, 2008
3:13 am Eastern By Art Moore 2008 WorldNetDaily

John Bolton

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Former U.N. ambassador John Bolton says Sen. Barack Obama's criticism of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's lack of foreign policy experience could backfire, insisting the presumptive vice-presidential nominee's executive experience would serve her well in the White House.I don't understand why the Obama campaign would want to make that an issue, which to me just calls attention to his own lack of experience in foreign policy, Bolton told WND at the Republican National Convention.Shortly after Sen. John McCain announced Palin as his running mate Friday, the Obama campaign pounced on the issue, charging the presumptive Republican nominee had put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.The Nation's Robert Dreyfuss wrote yesterday it's been hilarious this week watching Republican spokesmen trying to put a positive spin on Palin's utter lack of foreign policy experience.But Bolton told WND he believes critics need to take into account Palin's extensive executive experience.You know Alexander Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers that what is critical to the success of our system of government is what he called energy in the executive, Bolton said. And she has been energetic on a range of issues, particularly on issues involving energy, energy security.Energy security may be thought of as a domestic issue when American's fill up their gas tanks, Bolton said, but it also should be regarded as a national security issue.Sen. John McCain introducing Gov. Sarah Palin last Friday Palin, 44, was elected mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, in 1996 after serving two terms on the city council. Later she was elected president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors.

She made an unsuccessful run for lieutenant governor in 2002. One year later, Gov. Frank Murkowski appointed her ethics commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. But she resigned in protest in 2004, charging fellow Republicans with a lack of ethics for legal violations and conflicts of interest. In November 2006, with little support from her party, she was elected governor, becoming Alaska's first to be born after it achieved statehood.Obama, 47, was a community organizer and civil rights attorney before serving in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2004.No ticket ever has every quality in both candidates that it wants, Bolton said. And the main thing is who's going to be president on January the 20th, because I don't think we can afford having somebody who's not ready from day one.Bolton also argued that if the Republican ticket wins, Palin will have an opportunity in the administration to increase her knowledge and involvement in foreign affairs.I think you put your strength at the number one position and groom your successor in the number two position, Bolton said. You don't do it the other way around.Palin's first big test on the national stage comes tonight when she speaks here at the Republican convention.Bolton served as interim U.S. ambassador to the U.N. on a recess appointed by President Bush from August 2005 until December 2006 after fierce opposition from Senate Democrats blocked his nomination. He is of counsel to the law firm Kirkland & Ellis, in Washington, D.C., and serves with a number of think tanks, including the American Enterprise Institute.

Wall Street wavers on economic worries By MADLEN READ, AP Business Writer SEPT 03,08

NEW YORK - Wall Street fluctuated Wednesday, with investors relieved about falling commodities prices but still unsettled about the uncertainty surrounding the economy. The Commerce Department gave the market modest comfort when it said orders for manufactured products rose by 1.3 percent in July. The figure was higher than the 0.8 percent predicted by economists polled by Thomson Financial/IFR; the department also upwardly revised its June reading to an increase of 2.1 percent.

However, the reading was shrugged off by many traders as outdated. And with automakers expected to release sluggish August sales data later in the session and the Labor Department expected to report another drop in U.S. payrolls on Friday, trading was marked by caution.A massive pullback in commodities since earlier in the summer has helped alleviate some of the market's inflation worries. Oil slid below $108 a barrel Wednesday as the dollar strengthened and Hurricane Gustav appeared to leave oil installations in the Gulf of Mexico largely undamaged.But as recent patterns in the market have shown, Wall Street remains skittish. On Tuesday, stocks gave up a huge early advance only to close lower, as investors' enthusiasm about oil's selloff dissipated and gave way to concerns about the economy.All the data in the last two weeks has actually been very good, said Joseph V. Battipaglia, chief investment officer at Ryan Beck & Co., pointing to Wednesday's factory orders data, falling oil prices, and the recent upward revision of second-quarter gross domestic product. Despite all that, you didn't get a commensurate market performance. And that's troubling.In late morning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 28.90, or 0.25 percent, to 11,488.02, after moving in and out of positive territory.

Broader stock indicators were mixed. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 4.87, or 0.38 percent, to 1,272.71, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 8.11, or 0.35 percent, to 2,341.13.The big headliner of the week for Wall Street is likely to be the Labor Department's reading on August employment. The report is expected to show a drop in payrolls for the eighth straight month and another uptick in the unemployment rate.Bond prices moved higher Wednesday. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.72 percent from 3.74 percent in late trading on Tuesday.The financial sector, which has played a big role in determining the direction of the stock market this year, was mostly higher on Wednesday.Ambac Financial Group Inc. rose $1.69, or nearly 24 percent, after Wisconsin insurance regulators late Tuesday approved the bond insurer's plans for a new insurance subsidiary.Many consumer product makers, however, have been hurting.

Corning Inc. fell $1.57, or 8.1 percent, to $17.93 after reducing its third-quarter sales and earnings-per-share outlook to reflect slower shipments of glass used in flat-screen televisions and computers.Cell phone maker Nokia Corp. was also weak Wednesday, dropping 93 cents, or 3.8 percent, to $23.52.Light, sweet crude futures fell $2.14 to $108.57 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.While oil's drop should help consumers, it has taken a toll on a few companies — traders appeared a bit rattled about reports Wednesday that the hedge fund Ospraie Management is shuttering its largest fund due to significant losses in commodities.Also troubling to investors is that a major reason behind the oil pullback is the anemic economies in the United States and other developed countries — which are likely to limit global fuel demand. The Russell 2000 index, which tracks the movement of small company stocks, rose 3.48, or 0.47 percent, to 741.99. Declining issues narrowly outnumbered advancers on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 347.9 million shares. European indexes fell after a European Union report showed falling exports and lower household spending caused the euro economy to shrink by 0.2 percent in the second quarter. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 1.73 percent, Germany's DAX index fell 0.37 percent, and France's CAC-40 lost 1.45 percent. In Japan, the Nikkei stock index rose 0.64 percent.

MEPs urge Russia to abide by international law
VALENTINA POP SEPT 03,08Today @ 13:58 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The European Parliament condemned Russia's actions against Georgia on Wednesday (3 September), reminding Moscow it needs to abide by international law and respect the sovereignty and national integrity of its neighbouring country.The resolution, adopted with 549 votes in favor and 68 against, firmly condemns the unacceptable and disproportionate military action by Russia, underlining that there is no legitimate reason for Russia to invade Georgia, occupy parts of it and threaten to override the government of a democratic country.Schulz - the socialist group wanted to see criticism of Georgia as well (Photo: European Parliament)Since Russia's deep incursion in Georgia and recognition of the two breakaway provinces is contrary to international law, the MEPs urge the EU and NATO to use all available means to persuade the Russian government to abide by international law, which is the necessary condition for playing a responsible role in the international community.The European Parliament reminds Russia of its responsibility as a UN veto power for a global order of peace and calls on EU memmber states and the European Commission to review their policy towards Russia, should Moscow not withdraw its troops to their positions prior to 7 August.The commission should also propose a visa facilitation and readmission agreement at least equivalent to those for Russia, say the MEPs, calling on EU member states to review the issuing of visas for economic activities based in South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

Socialist criticism of Georgia

In an oral intervention during the vote, Socialist leader Martin Schulz deplored the fact that his group was not able to introduce a central element of their own resolution which also blames Georgia for starting the conflict and criticizes Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili's aggressive stance.Booed in plenum by a large number of the MEPs, Schulz replied that those who are yelling now show that they want to sharpen the conflicts, not to reduce them. The PES voted in favor of the final resolution, because it supports the EU speaking on one voice in the matter, Schulz explained.A softer criticism towards Georgia can be found in the resolution's paragraph concerning cluster bombs, where MEPs call on both Moscow and Tbilisi to provide full information concerning the areas where their armies dropped cluster bombs so that an immediate start can be made on de-mining operations and in order to prevent further casualties among innocent civilians.Both Georgia and Russia are also being urged to lend support and fully cooperate with the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court regarding its investigation into the attacks on civilians which took place during the conflict.An independent international investigation also needs to be carried out urgently in order to establish the facts and bring greater clarity to certain allegation, the parliament demands.

Georgia vital for energy security

Georgia's importance as an alternative energy route for the EU's attempt to reduce its dependency on Russia is also highlighted in the resolution, which calls on the commission to offer Tbilisi all necessary assistance to in order to effectively protect its energy infrastructure.The document mentions the existing Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline and calls for strong EU commitment in pursuing the [future] Nabucco pipeline project, recognized as an EU priority project that would cross Georgia's territory.In this regard, the MEPs highlight that the Lisbon Treaty would provide for a special EU energy security policy, along with the creation of an energy High Representative and a solidarity clause among member states.

Financial sanctions for Russia

The parliament's budgetary affairs committee on Tuesday also called for freezing the aid sent to Russia, as a punitive measure against its actions in Georgia.A freeze on these sums would be a legitimate political measure, to put pressure on Russia to pull out of Georgia, said German conservative MEP Reimer Boege, who heads the committee, as quoted by AFP.The idea is circulating among the eurodeputies involved in budgetary affairs to freeze some €60.5 million euros ($87.9 million) destined for Russia under the neighbourhood policy and to attach conditions to deblocking [the money], Polish MEP Janusz Lewandowski, vice-president of the parliament's budget committee, added.The proposal to freeze the funding to Russia will go to a vote at the parliament's budget committee next month as part of the EU's overall 2009 budget plans, which must then be approved by both the parliament and member states.

Baltic states need NATO help, US says
PHILIPPA RUNNER SEPT 03,08 Today @ 09:28 CET

NATO should show Russia it would defend the Baltic states - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - in the event of attack, the US has said, as Russia's recent invasion of Georgia continues to send ripples through European security arrangements.They are feeling a little rattled by seeing Russia use military force to invade a sovereign, small neighbouring country. We need to send signals to shore them up a little bit, US ambassador to NATO, Kurt Volker, told the Financial Times in an interview on Tuesday (2 September).Latvia and Estonia have large ethnic-Russian minorities (Photo: European Commission)The signals could come in the form of military planning and exercising and not in a provocative way, he explained. We will have to make sure ... that the Article 5 commitment is realisable not just as a political matter but as a military matter too, Mr Volker added. NATO being credible is what's important.Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are EU and NATO members. But while the EU does not offer any hard security guarantee, Article 5 of the NATO treaty says that an armed attack against one or more [members] shall be considered an attack against them all.Like Georgia, the three former Soviet republics gained independence in the early 1990s and have become vocal critics of the new Russia. Latvia and Estonia also have large ethnic-Russian minorities: one of Russia's reasons for its assault on Georgia last month was to allegedly protect Russian passport-holders.

Temperature rising

Russia's action in the South Caucasus has also raised the temperature in EU- and NATO-aspirant Moldova, where Russophone rebels in the Transniestria region held military parades on Tuesday and called on Moscow to triple the number of Russian soldiers in the territory.Transniestria broke away from Moldova in 1992 and houses 1,300 Russian troops, which Moscow says are needed to guard a huge, Cold War-era arms dump.A few days after the Georgia incursion, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev urged Moldova to accept a plan that would give Russia the right to garrison soldiers in Transniestria indefinitely and hand the Kremlin-influenced Transniestria authorities sweeping powers in a re-unified Moldova. We request that Russia remove its ammunition and withdraw its troops from Transniestria because they have no mandate for their presence in the territory, Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek said after meeting the Moldovan prime minister in Prague on Tuesday, AP reports.The truth is that after the conflict in [Georgia], we are worried about its implications in solving other frozen conflicts, he added, with the EU's special envoy to Moldova, Kalman Mizsei, in Moldova and Transniestria this week to calm tensions.

Turkish initiative

The EU has in the light of Georgia also given its green light to EU candidate and NATO member Turkey to pursue its Caucasian Stability and Co-operation Platform an EU official told EUobserver.The initiative aims to foster better relations between Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia, with the European Commission hoping that Turkey's weight as a regional player could help end the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.Take note, [Turkish president] Gul is to visit Armenia this month. I think it's the first visit at such a high level since the genocide, the EU official said. If they can get the Armenians to pull back their forces out of Azerbaijan proper, that would be a big step.Russian-backed Armenian forces have occupied Azerbijan's Nagorno-Karabakh region since 1994, making it harder for the pro-Western regime in Baku to ship oil and gas to the EU via the South Caucasus, bypassing Russia. But Turkish-Armenian relations have stayed all-but-frozen since the Turkish killing of 1.5 million Armenians in 1915.

Black Sea riposte

Meanwhile, Russia has suggested it plans to send counter-signals of its own to NATO after US warships brought aid to Georgia via Black Sea ports following the cessation of Russia-Georgia hostilities last month.Why is it necessary to deliver humanitarian aid on military vessels ... and on ships that are armed with modern missile systems? Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin told Interfax while on a visit to Uzbekistan on Tuesday.There will be an answer, he added, saying Russia's reaction will be calm, without any sort of hysteria ... you'll see.

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Russian nuke experts in Iran Sept. 3, 2008 at 2:59 AM

BUSHEHR, Iran, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- Russian nuclear experts are in Iran monitoring construction of the Middle East nation's first nuclear power plant.Leonid Reznikov, director of Atomstroiexport, the Russian company building the power plant in Bushehr, is accompanied by his deputy and a delegation of experts for the three-day visit that winds up Wednesday, the Fars News Agency reported.The Russian delegation is meeting with a team of Iranian experts headed by Ahmad Fayaz Bakhsh, deputy director of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization.Konstantin Beschetnov, a member of Russia's Parliament, said while he is certain the Bushehr facility will be completed successfully it is too early to say when that will be.This project is so unique that it is too early to announce a completion date. As with any business project it has experienced a number of complications, RIA Novosti quoted Beschetnov as saying.

However, the heads of the nuclear energy agencies for both nations have said it will be operational by the end of the year. Iran is under international sanctions for pursuing its nuclear ambitions.The Iran-Russia joint project has been delayed at least five times for various reasons, the Fars News Agency noted.

Syria warns of catastrophic effect of any Israeli strike on Iran Tue Sep 2, 2:18 PM ET

PARIS (AFP) - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad warned Tuesday that an attack by Israel on Iran would have catastrophic consequences for the entire world. We think that Israel could try to launch attacks against Iran, even against Lebanon or Syria, he said in an interview with France 3 television.Any attack by Israel or by anyone else will have catastrophic results not only on the region but on the whole world, he said.In recent months several Israeli politicians have talked of the possibility of a preemptive military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities to avoid any possibility of Tehran acquiring an atomic weapon.Iran has responded by threatening retaliatory strikes with its Shahab-3 missiles which have a nominal range of 2,000 kilometres (1,250 miles) -- enough to reach Israel.

Russian Navy cruiser

Russia's one-dominant navy is being returned to power, and it already has been successful in taking over Georgia's Black Sea port of Poti, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.Officials say the navy is being refurbished and expanded and will be used to respond to what Russians perceive as growing threats to their security interests.We are already building practically as many ships as we did in Soviet times, First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov said during a recent visit to Severodvinsk. The problem now is not lack of money, but how to optimize production so that the navy can get new ships three, not five, years after laying them down.The nation's economy has improved because of the rise in the price of oil, so there has been a significant increase in defense spending to include more ships under construction as well as a plan to refit some older ships.Moscow already has in place a recently approved rearmament program that runs through 2015. Now for the first time in Soviet and Russian history, development of the navy will almost equal the increase in strategic nuclear forces. The program covering the period until 2015 is expected to replace 45 percent of the navy inventory.Russia intends to bolster its four fleets and one flotilla of the Black Sea Fleet based in Sevastopol, Ukraine; the Russian Northern Fleet headquartered at Severomorsk, Russia; the Pacific Fleet headquartered in Vladivostok, Russia; the Baltic Fleet headquartered in Kaliningrad, Russia; and the Caspian Flotilla headquartered in Astrakhan, Russia. The improvements are to be used to guard Russia's interests.We'll do all we can to build up our presence where Russia has strategic interests, Russian Navy Commander Admiral Vladimir Vysotsky recently said.With greater Black Sea access, Russia will have more opportunity to use the ports as bases from which to project power into the Mediterranean and then on to the Atlantic.

Iran plans air force games in Ramadan: commander Tue Sep 2, 7:25 AM ET

TEHRAN (Reuters) - The Iranian air force will hold wargames during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which began in Iran on Tuesday, a military commander said.
The exercises will be held amid ongoing speculation about a possible U.S. or Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, which the West and Israel say are part of a clandestine bid to build nuclear weapons despite Tehran's denials.Large wargames of the armed forces' air force will be held in the blessed month of Ramadan, said Iran's armed forces commander-in-chief, Brigadier-General Ataollah Salehi, Fars News Agency reported.The start of Ramadan can differ from country to country because it is based on the lunar calendar.Alongside the regular army, Iran has a Revolutionary Guards force viewed as guardians of the Islamic ruling system. The Guards have a separate command and their own air, sea and land units but often work with the regular military.Salehi was speaking at a ceremony for the armed forces' new air force chief, Brigadier-General Hassah Shah-Safi.We have had leaps in the field of air defense and aviation in the past two years ... We hope to show to the public a number of locally manufactured warplanes in the current year, Salehi said, IRNA news agency reported. Iran's year ends in March.Iran is estimated to have 280 combat aircraft, including Russian-made MiG 29 aircrafts, although only 80 percent or less may be operational, military analysts say.Reports have frequently emerged in the international press about possible U.S. or Israeli plans to strike Iran. Iran has dismissed them but has also said it would respond by attacking U.S. interests and Israel if any such assault was made.

Asked about a recent report in a Dutch newspaper about an imminent U.S. strike on Iran, a Foreign Ministry spokesman told a news conference on Monday it was conjecture: We are not taking this seriously.The spokesman also denied reports, based on comments from Israeli defense sources, that Iran had bought Russia's advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missile system and would get it this year.According to IRNA, when Salehi was asked about the negative propaganda about reports Iran had bought the S-300, he said:A long range air defense capability is needed by all countries of the region. All countries of the region are feeling threats from outside the region. He did not elaborate.There have been conflicting reports about whether Iran was buying the S-300 system. Defence Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said last year Russia had agreed to deliver the missiles to Iran under a signed contract. Russia denied such plans.Iran, the world's fourth largest oil producer, insists its nuclear program is aimed at generating electricity not making bombs. The United States says it wants diplomacy to end the row but has not ruled out military action if that fails.(Reporting by Hashem Kalantari and Edmund Blair; editing by Dominic Evans)

OPINION Georgia Splits the Kremlin By Andrei Piontkovsky SEPT 03,08

The Georgia crisis revealed a new strategic force in the Kremlin that opposes both Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev. We still cannot name its players, but we are aware of its interests and impact on events in the same way that astronomers discern a new but invisible planet by recording its impact on known and visible objects in space.One after another, loyal Kremlin pundits have appeared on television and radio to denounce provokers, whom they dare not name, for planning the incursion of Russian troops all the way to Tbilisi and the establishment there of a pro-Russian government.The line in the sand that U.S. President George W. Bush drew on the night of Aug. 11, warning against Russian air strikes on Tbilisi’s airport and shortly thereafter sending Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to visit Tbilisi, provoked a split in the Kremlin. The split divides those who are and are not concerned about the fate of Russian elites’ vast personal holdings in the West.

I call these camps Russia’s global and national kleptocrats. Both sides firmly agree that there is nothing that the “weakened and cowardly West” can do to restrain Russia, a nuclear and petroleum superpower, beyond financial retribution against those Russian rulers with vast assets abroad.But the national kleptocrats seem to believe that they can live without overseas assets, or without educating their children and maintaining residences in the West. Instead, they are content to own properties in elite areas around Moscow and in Sochi.Both Putin and Medvedev (and their television propagandists) currently reflect the views and goals of the global kleptocrats. Neither leader wants to capture Tbilisi. Putin, of course, would have been glad to see Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, his sworn enemy, put in a cage. But other, more down-to-earth considerations are more important to him.That said, Putin is keeping his options open to join the national plutocrats, in case their position dramatically strengthens. If he crosses over to their side, he could even become their leader and triumphantly return to the throne that he formally abandoned only recently.While no one yet knows the national plutocrats’ names, I believe that they are new, influential players in or associated with the Kremlin, and that they have now become bold enough to challenge both Putin and Medvedev. Russia’s military chiefs, for whom it is psychologically difficult to be ordered by politicians to abruptly end a large-scale and successful military operation, are their natural allies. I cannot predict who will win this growing confrontation. But even if the global kleptocrats sustain their more “moderate” position on Georgia, theirs could be a Pyrrhic victory. Every day and every hour, by means of their own propaganda, these globally minded kleptocrats, are setting the path to power for the nationalists.

In order to justify their authoritarian rule and camouflage from the Russian public their massive theft of the country’s resources, the global kleptocrats have already convinced ordinary Russians that they are surrounded by ruthless enemies who are trying to dismember and destroy Russia. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to explain why their wives and children are buying palaces in the capitals of countries that are supposedly Russia’s sworn enemies.By contrast, the national kleptocrats’ position is more consistent. They are not constrained by huge assets in the hated West. It would not be difficult for them to convince ordinary Russians, who have already been primed by today’s xenophobic propaganda, that Tbilisi, Sevastopol, Astana, and Tallinn belong to Russia and should be taken by force. Putin once said that the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the twentieth century was the fall of the Soviet Union. The national kleptocrats may soon start calling for its reversal, and they are in an increasingly strong position to do so.Andrei Piontkovsky is an independent political expert and a researcher at the Russian Academy of Sciences. © Project Syndicate.

Report: North Korea reassembling nuclear facility SEPT 03,08

TOKYO - North Korea has begun to reassemble its main nuclear facility, citing a delayed removal from a U.S. list of terror sponsors, Japanese media and Fox News reported Wednesday. Japan's public broadcaster NHK and Kyodo News agency said North Korea started putting its Yongbyon facility back together Tuesday. The reports cited unidentified officials related to the disarmament talks.North Korea last week said it had stopped disabling its nuclear reactor and threatened to restore the plutonium-producing facility, citing Washington's failure to remove it from the list of terror sponsors.In response, Washington repeated its demand that North Korea must first agree to a plan to verify an accounting of nuclear programs it submitted in June, if it wants to be taken off the list.Kyodo said the reassembling started at the Yongbyon facility on Tuesday.Fox News carried a similar report from Washington, quoting an unidentified U.S. official as saying that the North has been threatening the move for some time and it is considered as a way for it to express anger and to put further pressure on us.Fox News also said the official said the reassembling is seen as a symbolic gesture because the facility has been largely taken apart.

South Korean and U.S. officials have said that it would take at least a year for the North to restart the facilities after they are completely disabled.Despite the move, NHK said, North Korea was still allowing access to experts from U.S. and International Atomic Energy Agency.State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters Tuesday that the U.S. was talking to North Korean officials to look for solutions" to move forward international nuclear disarmament negotiations.A Japanese Foreign Ministry official said the media reports could not be confirmed immediately, though officials were aware of them. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, citing department policy.The South Korean Foreign Ministry said in a statement Wednesday that it was trying to verify the contents of the Fox News report.The ministry said it was concerned that the North's possible launch of work to restore the nuclear facilities in Yongbyon could cause serious damage to disarmament efforts. It urged North Korea to resume work to disable the complex.North Korea began disabling its nuclear plant in Yongbyon, north of Pyongyang, in November, but the communist country slowed the work to protest a delay in the provision of promised aid from its negotiating partners.Disarmament efforts reported major progress in June after the North submitted its long-delayed nuclear declaration and destroyed its nuclear cooling tower in a show of its commitment to denuclearization.

The U.S. then announced it would delist the North from the terrorism blacklist, a coveted goal of the North's cash-strapped communist regime.
