Maariv Newspaper announces Israel will be first to
implement mandatory RFID chips in hands of it's citizens

Before we get into this latest late breaking news, I would like to share this quote:

On October 3, 1940, the Vichy government of France passed the first Statut des Juifs (Jewish Statute). The law was modeled on the German Nuremberg Laws. Jews living in Vichy France were required to have their identification cards stamped with the word Juif (Jew). Moreover, they were not permitted to change residences, and they had to inform the police about any changes in marital status. The laws effectively enabled the regime to keep tabs on the Jews.Source: [link to www.holocaustchronicle.org]

Dear friends, it's Aviad Cohen reporting from Israel. Here is the scenario: I am standing in the living room of a Jewish friend's home in Israel this evening. He is sitting down reading Maariv newspaper's Sof Shavua (End of The Week). He starts to translate some Hebrew to me about how an article from the 11.14.08 newspaper is stating how the Israeli government is passing (or has passed) a law where all citizens will be required to have RFID chips implanted into their hand. Keep in mind this lengthy article is six pages long (666 get a hint). I started to explain to him about how the Bible prophesies about this. He also mentions that in the article it states that Israel will be the first country to implement the RFID chip as mandatory for all citizens. I was not shocked when I received this news since the Bible prophesies this happening, as mentioned in the Brit Chadasha (New Testament) in the book of Revelation. I just did not think that it would happen this fast and first out of all places, in Israel?. Keeping tabs on Jews is a red flag of something bad that is coming up ahead. For Israel to claim that they will be the first to establish the mark of the beast (mark on the hand) is a shock. How would Holocaust victims with tattoos on their arms from concentration camps react to the RFID chip implant? This is disgusting and even more disgusting is how many Jews will blindly/ignorantly take it in the name of countering terrorism. Who are the real terrorists? That remains to be the big brother question. I think the only ones who need to have tabs kept on them are the psychos who are coming up with chipping people. They are the real terrorists.

For most Israeli citizens hearing this news does not make that much sense since they do not read the Brit Chadasha and do not understand that what is going on today has been prophesied about in the Bible, but to a Yehudi Meshichi (Messianic Jew) like me, it makes total sense since I am Scripturally Informed.

Tropical storm hits Vietnam, casualties feared By Ho Binh Minh Ho Binh Minh – Mon Nov 17, 7:32 am ET

ns HANOI (Reuters) – A tropical storm hit central Vietnam on Monday, threatening severe floods, landslides and substantial damage to coffee output from the world's second-largest producer of the crop.Tropical Storm Noul, with winds of 88 kph (55 mph), made landfall around the beach resort of Nha Trang late on Monday and weakened to a tropical depression, state radio said.Noul is expected to cross the coffee-growing province of Lam Dong during the peak of the harvest in the Central Highlands. Torrential rains could halt the harvest and prevent farmers from drying beans outdoors, causing delays and lowering quality.There will be heavy rains that will cause flooding and landslides over the next two days, Bui Minh Tang, director of the national weather forecaster, told the Voice of Vietnam.Heavy rains were still expected in the densely populated Mekong Delta, which normally avoids the worst of the storms that roll in from the South China Sea.All offshore oil production from Vietnam, Southeast Asia's third-largest producer of crude oil, remained operational, a Petrovietnam official said.However, state television said Vietsovpetro, a Russian joint venture, would temporarily shut operation on four oil rigs and evacuate workers.Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung had ordered the immediate recall of all fishing boats in the area and said children should not go to school as preparations were made for mass evacuations across a 400 km (250 mile) swathe of coastline.More than 74,000 people needed evacuation while more than 133,000 fishermen were urged to take shelter, the government said.

In neighboring Cambodia, Prime Minister Hun Sen canceled a scheduled trip on Tuesday to the coastal province of Kampot, abutting Vietnam, because of the storm.Vietnamese government reports said more than 17,000 fishing boats were operating near the Spratlys in the path of the storm.The Mekong Delta, where the latest rice crop has been harvested, is rarely hit by storms. Typhoon Linda caught the region unawares in November 1997, killing at least 464 people.The government never revised an initial tally that listed more than 3,200 people as missing.(Additional reporting by Nguyen Nhat Lam and Ek Madra in Phnom Penh; Writing by Ed Cropley; Editing by Darren Schuettler and Paul Tait)

Flooding in Ethiopia kills 11, maroons hundreds Mon Nov 17, 5:31 am

ETADDIS ABABA (Reuters) – A river in Ethiopia's highlands burst its banks after heavy rains, killing 11 people and stranding hundreds more, the state news agency said on Monday.Flooding from the Wabe Shebelle river in southeast Ethiopia has submerged more than 100 villages, regional relief boss Eremdan Haji was quoted as saying by the Ethiopian News Agency.Inhabitants in 116 villages in an area covering a 90-km (56-mile) radius have been stranded on hillocks surrounded by the flood water, he said.Efforts to rescue hundreds of marooned people have become impossible due to the extent of land covered by the flood.Some 6,000 head of livestock and 2,500 hectares of crop were destroyed, the official added, saying the government had sent 18,000 tonnes of food aid to the region near Somalia.Local officials contacted by Reuters said they had no further information but were on their way to the flood area.(Reporting by Tsegaye Tadesse; Editing by Janet Lawrence)

North Carolina storm kills 2, destroys homes By MIKE BAKER, Associated Press Writer –Sat Nov 15, 9:08 pm ET

KENLY, N.C. – As a tornado ripped through his North Carolina neighborhood, Curt Jernigan huddled in his bathroom, praying for the raging winds to spare him.When Jernigan emerged from the home, he met a neighbor, his face covered in blood, who pleaded with him to help search for his wife. She had gone missing in the confusion of the storm. The 41-year-old Jernigan agreed to help out, but said he knew the effort to find the woman alive would be fruitless.When I saw what he had in his yard, I knew it wasn't going to be a rescue — it was a recovery. It's just devastation, Jernigan said.His grim thought proved correct. State police said his neighbor, Maryland Gomez, who was in her 60s, was one of two people killed by tornadoes and severe weather that swept across central North Carolina early Saturday.

Gomez's body was found amid the rubble that was once her home in Kenly, a community about 35 miles southeast of Raleigh, said state police spokeswoman Patty McQuillan. In neighboring Wilson County, authorities said a child also was killed. Several people were injured in the cluster of strong storms that hit some six counties.The only thing left standing of Gomez's home was her front porch, one of at least a half-dozen houses destroyed by the storms that also knocked down trees and power lines. Residents emerged at daybreak to find their homes in ruins, cars flipped over and debris strewn about.It was pretty massive destruction, Johnston County emergency management coordinator Derrick Duggins said. It goes to show the magnitude of what natural weather can do.In Kenly, family and friends piled up mattresses, took pictures of the damage and filled garbage bags with trash from Mark Stephenson's one-story brick home, leveled by the storm.Winds tossed family portraits into the woods some 200 yards away and the skeleton of a new camper the Stephensons had just bought sat nearby.One half of Stephenson's home was flattened, while a tree had fallen through the other half, on top of his 19-year-old daughter's bedroom. She was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.It's hard to believe, it's hard to take in, Stephenson said. We've got our lives and our health, so we're good to go.

His 14-year-old son, Hunter, pointed to what used to be his bedroom — now just a pile of bricks and beams. The room was being remodeled, so Hunter had been sleeping in the living room.I'm lucky, he said. It's crazy, if I would have been in there, I would have been dead.U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge, who represents the area, surveyed the damage Saturday, describing beams in the home where the woman was found as spaghetti-like. Gov. Mike Easley planned to tour the area Sunday or Monday after local officials have assessed the damage.A Red Cross shelter was opened at a church and National Weather Service officials were sending crews out to survey the damage.

Indonesia quake kills 4, buildings collapse By ALI KOTARUMALOS, Associated Press Writer – Mon Nov 17, 11:19 am ET

JAKARTA, Indonesia – A powerful earthquake jolted eastern Indonesia on Monday, killing at least four people, damaging hundreds of homes and briefly triggering a region-wide tsunami warning, officials said as they surveyed the damage.The 7.5-magnitude quake struck off the coast of Sulawesi island in the middle of the night, sending thousands fleeing homes, hotels and even hospitals.The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake struck 85 miles from the nearest city, Gorantalo, on Sulawesi island. It was centered 16 miles beneath the sea and was followed by two strong aftershocks.The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center initially warned the temblor had the potential to generate a destructive tsunami along coasts within 600 miles. But even after local officials lifted the tsunami alert, frightened Sulawesi residents refused to go back indoors.In December 2004, a massive earthquake off Indonesia's Sumatra island triggered a tsunami that battered much of the Indian Ocean coastline and killed more than 230,000 people — 131,000 of them in Indonesia's Aceh province alone. A tsunami off Java island last year killed nearly 5,000.

By morning, officials were starting to get a better sense of the damage.Rustam Pakaya, the head of the Health Ministry's Crisis Center, said four people died and 77others were injured. About 800 homes were badly damaged, some of them flattened.

Robert Bano, a resident in the provincial capital, said the massive quake shook his house for more than two minutes, knocking paintings from the wall. He grabbed his crying children and, along with many others, ran outside.Some fled to high ground, others gathered in the streets.A few guests streaming from Paradiso Hotel were so afraid they fainted, the official news agency Antara reported.A witness in the city of Poso said patients from at least one hospital were evacuated.Indonesia is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, an arc of volcanos and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.Associated Press Writer Niniek Karmini and Zakki Hakim contributed to this report from Jakarta.

FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS

Residents return to devastated LA mobile home park By AMY TAXIN, Associated Press Writer NOV 17,08

LOS ANGELES – Stacks of charred bricks, blackened shells of cars and burned tree trunks were all that remained Monday in much of the community some residents once called the Beverly Hills of mobile home parks.The mostly retired residents returned to see what was left of their homes at Oakridge Mobile Home Park, where winds with hurricane intensity blew a wall of fire through hundreds of manufactured homes and set them ablaze so quickly that even firefighters had to drop their hoses and run.

It looks like a war zone — no trees, no buildings, said Michele Warneck, 54, who burst into tears after returning from the park. She had watched her two-bedroom house burn on the television news. Everything that was porcelain just blew up.Once considered a paradise with swimming pools and tennis courts, the park was now roamed by cadaver-sniffing dogs in search of anyone who didn't escape. That search ended Monday afternoon with investigators finding no evidence anyone perished.The inferno destroyed 484 homes in the park Saturday. Firefighters were able to save about 120 homes, but many were badly damaged and the park is flattened except for charred trees with blackened branches bent in one direction by the hot winds. Twisted metal foundations and pipes are all that is left of many homes.The fire was one of three in Southern California that have destroyed about 1,000 homes and apartments and burned 41,000 acres, or 64 square miles, forcing thousands to flee.Most evacuation orders were lifted by Monday, when clear skies and calm winds allowed firefighters to make some gains, but officials warned of another bad air day and classes were canceled at dozens of schools near fire zones in Orange County.In Sylmar, scores of residents stood in line outside a high school gymnasium for tours of the charred mobile home park where retirees once played tennis, took a dip in a jacuzzi and played Mah-Johng and poker.Those whose homes were destroyed were shuttled through the neighborhood in a black van. Authorities were still investigating the fire, so people weren't allowed to get out and sift through the ashes for scraps of their belongings.It's gone, said Ed Hurdle, 82, after taking one of the first park tours. The car is gone. The house is gone. It's twisted metal. It's totally charred there. There's no hope at all. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.A separate set of white police vans ferried residents whose homes were still standing so they could gather medication and other essentials.

My house was in great shape. All it was was dirty, said Betty Glassman, 78. I feel like I'm in a dream. Pinch me.Cadaver dogs searched the burned units, but found only the cremated remains of a man who died several years ago.Animal control recovered several dead animals and three live cats. Los Angeles County Assistant Coroner Chief Ed Winter said the cats could have been hiding under one of the units that wasn't damaged.Neighbors huddled together inside the gymnasium, which has been turned into a Red Cross shelter for evacuees, hugging each other and comparing notes about what they saw and what they were able to salvage.It's a disaster. It looks like Hiroshima, said Joan Costa, carrying plastic bags filled with makeup and medicines she had pulled from her home.The fire left a local hospital in darkness, and nurses used hand-cranked ventilators to keep patients alive when the fire knocked out power to Olive View-UCLA Medical Center in Sylmar. Authorities are investigating why the emergency generator failed. No patients were harmed during the 3 1/2-hour outage early Saturday.Elsewhere, the largest of the fires has burned more than 28,000 acres in Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties and has destroyed more than 250 homes and apartment units. San Bernadino became the fourth county declared a state of emergency. Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Frank Garrido warned residents returning their homes in the Diamond Bar area to watch for snakes, mountain lions and other wildlife who fled the flames into more populated areas.

In the Orange County suburb of Yorba Linda, residents returned to find more than 100 homes destroyed. Some hung signs thanking firefighters for saving their homes, others snapped photos of the scorched community. Lindey Lindholm sifted through the rubble of his home, searching for family heirlooms. It's all gone, Lindholm said. The first of the wildfires broke out in the Montecito area of Santa Barbara County, about 90 miles northwest of Sylmar.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said President-elect Barack Obama contacted him Sunday night to offer what help he could. Obama has turned his campaign Web site home page into a plea to help fire victims that includes a link to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's site, where people can sign up to volunteer or donate to the Red Cross or Salvation Army. Schwarzenegger on Monday asked the Bush administration to declare Southern California a federal disaster site. The governor also requested disaster loans for the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Santa Barbara and San Bernardino. He said many of the residents affected by the fires — particularly mobile home owners — lacked insurance or are seriously underinsured. The causes of all three fires were under investigation, although officials labeled the Santa Barbara-area fire human-caused, said Doug Lannon, a spokesman with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Lannon said the fire started in a Montecito landmark known to be a popular hangout for teenagers. He said it was possible someone was smoking in the brush or started a campfire there. Oakridge park resident Steve Fisher, 58, said he'd eventually like to move back there but doesn't know if he will — especially since he didn't have insurance on his home that burned.

I've never lived in a place with such a communal spirit, Fisher said. It was just like paradise.

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

Forecasters: U.S. in 14 month recession By Burton Frierson Burton Frierson – Mon Nov 17, 1:39 pm ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The U.S. economy fell into a recession last spring and will contract sharply this quarter as more than 200,000 workers per month are added to the rolls of the unemployed, a survey said on Monday.The Philadelphia Federal Reserve's latest Survey of Professional Forecasters removed some of the glow from an earlier report showing industrial output rebounded in October after hurricane disruptions produced a stunning fall in September.Early data from the factory sector also supported the grim view of the forecasters, showing manufacturing in New York state tumbled in November to yet another record low.Japan on Monday joined the euro zone in recession. Although the U.S. economy contracted in third quarter, that followed two consecutive quarters of growth, albeit helped by government stimulus payments. The arbiter of U.S. business cycles has not yet declared the economy in recession.The latest data and surveys provided new evidence that turmoil in credit markets was tightening its grip over the economy, which is unlikely to see any relief soon from the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.The early signs suggest that the November data cycle is likely to be extremely weak, analysts at RDQ economics said in a research note.On Wall Street, stocks were weaker in volatile trade, though off early lows, while government bonds were mixed and the dollar was a shade higher against the yen.The Philadelphia Fed's survey predicted gross domestic product would shrink by 2.9 percent in the fourth quarter, a sharp downgrade from the previous prediction of 0.7 percent growth.It said the U.S. economy entered a recession in April and that it will last 14 months, which would make it one of the longest recessions since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Only the 16-month recessions in the mid-1970s and early 1980s were longer. Even though the economy was technically growing in April this year it would not be unprecedented for the National Bureau of Economic Research to declare a recession was occurring then.The NBER measures recessions by a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, rather than the traditional definition of two consecutive quarters of falling

GDP.

The recession of March-November 2001 did not include two consecutive quarters of GDP contraction. This year, the economy has lost 1.2 million jobs since an uninterrupted labor market slump started in January, while manufacturing has contracted for most of the year.The survey predicted the economy would shed an average of 222,400 jobs per month this quarter. It said first-quarter GDP would decline by 1.1 pct and the unemployment rate would hit 7.0 percent during the first three months of next year.

A separate report by the Federal Reserve showed U.S. industrial production rose a stronger-than-expected 1.3 percent in October after a downwardly revised September drop of 3.7 percent -- the biggest fall in more than 62 years.The September slide in industrial output was the steepest since a 5.0 percent decline in February 1946.The Fed said the revision to September output resulted, in part, from a larger estimate of the impacts that Hurricanes Gustav and Ike had on the chemical industry. This also set a lower base for October.The October improvement is not anything to cheer about, said Daniel Meckstroth, chief economist for the Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI, a private economic research organization.

EMPIRE STRICKEN

In a separate report, the New York Fed said its Empire State general business conditions index fell to minus 25.43 in November from minus 24.62 in October. That was the lowest reading on manufacturing in New York state since the inception of the index in July 2001. The report paints a dim picture, said David Ader, head of government bond strategy at RBS Greenwich Capital, in Greenwich, Connecticut. Still, this is not exactly surprising but more confirmation, he added. Economists polled by Reuters had expected an even weaker reading of minus 26.10. The report, based on a survey of manufacturers in New York state, was generally bleak. The indexes for new orders and shipments slid to record lows, while the measures for unfilled orders, employment and inventories all slipped to their lowest levels since late 2001. As with many recent reports, the one silver lining was that inflation measures fell, which should give the Federal Reserve leeway to continue holding interest rates low as it fights the effects of the worst financial crisis in 80 years. The prices paid index fell for the fourth straight month and the prices received index tumbled to its lowest level in more than three years, the report said.

G20 leaders step back from co-ordinated stimulus plans
RENATA GOLDIROVA 17.11.2008 @ 10:17 CET

The world's 20 leading industrialised and emerging nations have backed fiscal stimulus plans to boost their economies but reached no agreement to co-ordinate such action - the preferred option of a number of European Union nations.The gathered leaders pledged to take over next four months a series of steps to support the global economy and stabilise financial markets.G20 leaders have agreed to some new regulation of banks and insurance houses, but there will be no new global financial architecture (Photo: French EU presidency/Laurent Blevennec)We are determined to enhance our co-operation and work together to restore global growth and achieve needed reforms in the world's financial systems, the group of 20 nations stated after a top-level meeting in Washington on Saturday (15 November). However, leaders reached no agreement on any internationally co-ordinated series of tax cuts and government spending to prime the economic pump, as some European leaders had favoured heading into the summit. The final conclusions also came well short of delivering any construction of a new global financial architecture or refounding capitalism as the current chair of the EU presidency, France's Nicolas Sarkozy, had famously demanded.The meeting brought together leading developed powers, including the US, Japan, the UK and Germany, as well as developing countries such as China, India, Argentina and Brazil. The G20 accounts for 85 percent of the global economy and two-thirds of the world's population.

World leaders tasked their finance ministers to begin working on moves to align global accounting standards, review pay practices that encourage excessive risk taking, and draft appropriate regulation and oversight of financial institutions, including rating agencies. The market should also see a stronger surveillance of cross-border firms by establishing supervisory colleges for all major cross-border financial institutions. We will implement reforms that will strengthen financial markets and regulatory regimes so as to avoid future crises, the leaders stated. In addition, they agreed that top emerging economies should have a bigger say in the key international financial institutions. The Financial Stability Forum - a group consisting of major national financial authorities - must expand urgently to a broader membership of emerging economies, the leaders said. But despite calls for improved regulation, world leaders also pledged to avoid over-regulation, saying it could hamper economic growth and capital flows. We underscore the critical importance of rejecting protectionism and not turning inward in times of financial uncertainty, they also said in a joint statement, committing themselves to not raise new barriers to investment or trade in goods and services over the next 12 months. The G20 leaders agreed to meet again under the same G20 format in April next year.

Richer safety net

Meanwhile, International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn told the BBC that his institution is likely to need more funding if it is to rescue ailing economies. The number of countries having problems at the same time has dramatically increased and they come to the IMF asking for support. So we need more resources, he was cited as saying on Monday (17 November).The question is to be able to face the problem in six months from now and I think all the heads of state and government are aware of the need for a strong IMF, he added, estimating its needs for extra funding to at least €80 billion. Mr Strauss-Kahn also advocated more ambitious interest rate cuts. In some parts of the world - Japan, the United States - interest rates have been cut very much, but it can be done more aggressively in other parts, he told the BBC, referring to the European Central Bank. I think now [the ECB has] room to decrease the interest rate, but nevertheless the stress has to be put on fiscal policy, he concluded.In separate news, Japan, the world's second largest economy has officially entered recession, with GDP shrinking 0.4 percent in the last quarter, the Japanese Cabinet Office announced today (17 November).

James Inhofe, R-Okla., added his voice to a dedicated resistance still fighting against the federal government's $700 billion bailout of the financial industry and demanding accountability for how the money is spent.Congress abdicated its Constitutional responsibility by signing a truly blank check over to the Treasury Secretary, Inhofe writes. However, the lame duck session of Congress offers us a tremendous opportunity to change course. We should take it.Inhofe joins other Republicans, such as S.C. Governor Mark Sanford, who have called into question how Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has allocated the first $350 billion of the $700 billion bailout package, officially called the Troubled Asset Relief Program.I firmly believe action is required by Congress, Inhofe writes. I plan to push for legislation that will require Secretary Paulson's plan for the remaining $350 billion in authorized TARP funds to be ratified by an affirmative vote in the U.S. Congress.Gov. Sanford sent a letter of his own last week directly to Paulson, citing examples just in South Carolina of financial institutions retiring executives with multimillion-dollar golden parachutes in order to qualify for bailout funds and banks that don't need the money applying for it anyway, just to remain competitive.The federal government, and by extension taxpayers, are being gamed, Sanford wrote. I think it's dangerous over the long run the way that taxpayers are being sapped.The Wall Street Journal reported last week that some $40 billion is being paid to executives of banking giants that are getting bailout payments, wrote Sanford. On top of that, Bloomberg reported today that the Federal Reserve is refusing to identify who is even getting $2 trillion in emergency loans.Join the effort to Stop the Bailout! with our hot-selling magnetic bumper sticker exclusively from WND!

Now Sanford is asking his constituents – and Inhofe is asking his colleagues – to demand accountability for how the bailout funds are spent.In the rush to do something about the turmoil in the credit markets, Congress has failed miserably in keeping an eye out for the taxpayers and watching for unintended consequences of this bailout, Gov. Sanford says in a statement on his website. To put it simply, taxpayers are getting gamed. While we continue to believe that the bailout was an incredibly bad idea in the first place, it's being made worse by loose rules and oversight that are putting taxpayers on the hook for billions more.It is just outrageous that the American people don't know that Congress doesn't know how much money he (Paulson) has given away to anyone, Inhofe told the Tulsa World.I just think we have to draw the line someplace, and the time is here, Inhofe said.

Secretary Paulson has come under even increased criticism following last week's announcement that he was scrapping the centerpiece of the $700 billion bailout – buying troubled mortgage-backed securities – in favor of other stimulus plans.My mouth is open, Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif. told a television interviewer about the announcement. It was a very hard vote for many of us who voted for that package, and now all of a sudden we have an audible and we're spending it on something else.Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, told the Los Angeles Times, When you see so many changes, you wonder if they really know what they're doing.Inhofe was also quick to condemn the switch in his letter to fellow senators:Why did Paulson reverse course?, Inhofe asks. Thursday's Los Angeles Times provides the answer. Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson's decision to abandon plans to buy troubled bank assets shows that he has come to two conclusions about what was once the chief focus of the government's $700-billion bailout: The first is that it wouldn't work.In his announcement of the change of direction last week, the Times reported, Paulson suggested that the government's financial bailout had entered a time out period as Obama prepared to take office. Paulson said Congress must work with Obama to decide during the next couple of months what role federal officials should play in the housing market.If Inhofe is successful in persuading his colleagues, Congress will use the downtime to increase oversight on how the latter half of the bailout is spent.During the lame duck session, I will be taking the following actions, Inhofe pledges to his fellow senators. First and foremost, if Secretary Paulson submits his plan to Congress in order to access the remaining $350 billion while we are in session, a doubtful prospect, I plan to immediately introduce the disapproval resolution pursuant to Section 115 of the EESA and push for its enactment.I will also introduce and actively pursue enactment of legislation to do two things, Inhofe writes. First, it will … require an affirmative vote on the part of Congress to approve Treasury's plan for the remaining $350 billion, instead of the current statutory process which gives Secretary Paulson far too much latitude. Second, it will require a freeze on any remaining funds of the first $350 billion.It is imperative that we not allow that amount of money to be added to a deficit approaching $1 trillion this year without any input from the legislative branch,
Inhofe writes.

WORLD TERRORISM

GENESIS 6:11-13
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

2 PETER 2:5
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

2 PETER 3:7
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men

LEVITICUS 26:16
16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you( sudden) terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

GENESIS 16:11-12
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

ISAIAH 33:1,18-19 Woe to thee that spoilest,(destroys) and thou wast not spoiled;(destroyed) and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil,(destroy) thou shalt be spoiled;(destroyed) and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

JOHN 16:2
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

PROBABLY THE EIFFEL TOWER WILL COME DOWN WITH A QUAKE BY THE READ OF IT HERE, BUT IT COULD BE TERRORISM,ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

ANGEL 3 TO DOCTOR DOCTORIAN.
Suddenly I heard earthquakes all over Europe. Countries that have had no earthquakes shall be shaken, said the angel. And suddenly, in my spirit, I saw the Eiffel Tower in Paris crumbling falling down. A great part of Germany destroyed. The great city of London - destruction everywhere.

Taliban threaten France with attacks: video NOV 17,08

DUBAI (AFP) - A Taliban military leader threatened to carry out attacks in Paris unless French troops are pulled out of Afghanistan, in a video broadcast on Al-Arabiya television.The video, which the Dubai-based TV station did not say how it obtained or when it was filmed, also claimed responsibility for an operation in August in which 10 French soldiers were killed.The video shows a Taliban military leader, identified as Faruq, saying in comments dubbed into Arabic that the French can await their response in Paris if French troops are not withdrawn from Afghanistan.He also claimed Taliban responsibility for an August 18 attack around 60 kilometres (40 miles) south of Kabul in which 10 French soldiers were killed and 21 wounded.The attack was widely attributed to the Taliban at the time, and the French media published photographs of Taliban wearing uniforms from troops killed in the clash.France currently has around 2,600 soldiers deployed in Afghanistan as part of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force as well as the US-led Operation Enduring Freedom.
