RUSSIA-US ROW

DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
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.

REVELATION 13:16-18
16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth all,(WORLD SOCIALISM) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

Sarkozy to announce fresh austerity as France sucked into whirlpool Today AUG 11,11 @ 09:27 By Leigh Phillips

French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Wednesday (10 August) has said his government will produce fresh measures to slash the country’s large public debt in an effort to stave off a cut to France’s triple-A credit rating.The leader flew back from his summer holiday and hauled government ministers back from theirs for an emergency meeting to address the rapidly worsening eurozone crisis.He told his key ministries they have a week to draft sharp new austerity measures, which may include the closing of tax loopholes and spending cuts.Paris’ promise to reduce the budget deficit from 7.1 percent in 2011 down to three percent by 2013 will be maintained no matter how the country’s economic situation evolves.While credit rating agencies have said that the outlook for France remains stable, earlier growth predictions of two percent this year and slightly higher in 2012 may turn out to be not quite so rosy after stagnating in the second quarter of this year. Industrial production slipped by 1.6 percent in June.If the growth predictions are not realised while deficit reduction must still be met, then the revenue gap must come from somewhere: further austerity or tax rises.

It is understood that included amongst ideas already under consideration will be the elimination of a slew of tax loopholes, freeing up monies in the single-digit billions.Firmer figures on the growth rate for the second quarter are to be released on Friday (12 August), potentially piling up the pressure on the government.The schedule for the announcement of new measures is frantic.Following the delivery of new austerity proposals from his ministers, Sarkozy and his prime minister, Francois Fillon, are to decide on what must be cut in the 2012 budget on 24 August. Parliament will then consider the measures sometime in the autumn.The crisis meeting came as French bank shares suffered a mass sell-off on Wednesday.Societe Generale slumped 21 percent at one point, with Credit Agricole down 13 percent and BNP Paribas down 10 percent.The tumble is the product of growing worries of French financial institutions’ exposure to Italian debt: estimated to be some €410 billion.
Separately on Wednesday, the Dutch prime minister returned home from holiday to ready the approval of new Greek bail-out measures by the country’s parliament.

Banks in Asia review credit to French lenders
Reuters By Rachel Armstrong and Saeed Azhar | Reuters – AUG 11,11


SINGAPORE (Reuters) - One bank in Asia has cut credit lines to major French lenders while five other banks in Asia are reviewing trades and counterparty risk as worries about the exposure of French banks to peripheral euro zone debt mounts, banking sources told Reuters on Thursday.Rumors on Wednesday that France was to lose its AAA rating, later denied by ratings agencies, helped trigger the biggest widening in the European credit default swap index since the credit crunch in 2008.That sudden rise in risk perception, combined with sharp share price falls in French banks, prompted some banks in Asia to speed up reviews of counterparty risk and look at whether they should cut exposure to European lenders, sources at each of the six banks in Asia said.Contacted about the moves by the banks in Asia, a spokeswoman for top French lender BNP Paribas in Paris said: We never comment on market rumors.Societe Generale had no immediate comment to make while a spokeswoman for Credit Agricole , which will publish its second-quarter earnings later in August, said the bank would not make any comment.The banks in Asia and the sources -- a mix of risk officers, senior traders and loan bankers -- could not be identified because of the sensitive nature of the information.The head of treasury risk management for Asia at one bank in Singapore -- which has a significant presence across the region -- said their credit lines to large French banks had been cut because of the perceived risks in lending to these counterparties.We've cut. The limits have been removed from the system. They have to seek approval on a case-by-case basis, the treasury risk official said. The official declined to name the French banks.Societe Generale put out a statement on Wednesday denying rumors about its financial health after its shares fell by as much as 21 percent.

The statement failed to fend off much of the market's concern with its shares ending the day 15 percent lower, taking losses since early July to more than 50 percent.A senior credit trader in Singapore said that when a bank's shares fall that sharply their risk officer will automatically look at how much exposure they have to that lender.SocGen shares were down 4 percent by 6:30 a.m. EDT on Thursday. BNP was down 5 percent while Credit Agricole was largely flat.Banks' heightened responses could exacerbate the market strains if they all acted simultaneously with portfolio-at-risk modeling, analysts said.The thing is if they all use it at the same time they will all sell at the same time when risk goes up, and that will drive prices down and it is like a snowball because then the prices go down and then your value-at-risk ratio will tell you oh, I must reduce my risk even more, said Mark Matthews, head of research at Julius Baer.

WIDESPREAD REVIEWS

Several of the traders and bankers in Asia said that while they had not cut all exposure to any particular institution, they were very cautious about taking on new trading positions with them.A senior risk officer at a bank in Singapore said obviously we are having a review, when asked if they were reassessing their positions with European counterparties.Bankers and risk officers at the five institutions in Asia that were still dealing with French banks said that while short-term lending of up to 30 days was still taking place, they were conducting a thorough review of longer-term credit lines regardless of the type of transaction.It's all in relation to (our) take on a French bank's credit risk, regardless of whether it's a swap or interbank lending transaction, said a senior loan banker at a Japanese bank.Criteria banks are reviewing include looking at whether parts of the credit lines they have in place with their French financial counterparties are as yet unused, and if so if they can be reduced. The term lengths of loans they've granted are also under review, with a view to cutting them if they can.Lenders are also considering imposing a larger haircut on the European government bonds posted as collateral by the euro zone banks they lend to, the treasury risk official from the bank that has cut credit lines said.

CAUTION RULES

These practices already look to be constraining European lenders' access to longer term funds, given that banks had to tap the European Central bank for 50 billion euros worth of six-month cash this week.They went on (credit) watch late last week for us. We can't extend further counterparty risk on French banks, said a senior trader at another financial institution in Singapore.The restrictions, put in place on Friday, limited trading across financial asset classes that would increase the institution's exposure to the French banks, the senior trader said.A compliance officer at another European bank in Singapore said banks are responding to changes in the risk outlook much more quickly than during the 2008 financial crisis.We have a dedicated unit not just going through our exposures on a name by name basis but looking at the broad portfolio of assets the whole bank is exposed to and the risks it contains,he said.People are flagging much earlier if they think there's counterparty risk we need to reassess.Chris Matten, a financial services partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Singapore and a former CFO of OCBC Bank , said reviews of European lenders would have been happening regularly.

The smarter banks would have gone through the exercise a while ago. We've seen sharp falls in shares this week but the debt problems in the euro zone have been a train crash in slow motion,Matten told Reuters.I know of at least a few smart banks that went through all their exposure to south European banks six months ago and have since cut that exposure quite substantially.(Additional reporting by Vidya Ranganathan, Kevin Lim, Saeed Azhar and Luke Pachymuthu in SINGAPORE Stephen Aldred and Jackie Poh of Thomson Reuters Basis Point in HONG KONG; Editing by Lincoln Feast, Dean Yates and Dayan Candappa)

Some $4 trillion wiped off world stocks in 2 weeks
Reuters By Dominic Lau | Reuters – AUG 11,11


LONDON (Reuters) - Some $4 trillion has been wiped off the value of world stocks this month on concerns the euro zone debt crisis is spreading to Italy and Spain and hurting Europe's banking system, and the global economy is falling into recession.The sum wiped off the MSCI All-Country World Index <.MIWD00000PUS> - about one seventh of its value - is almost equivalent to the size of combined economies of Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Greece.The sell-off this week knocked nearly $1.6 trillion off the market capitalization of the global benchmark after last week's $2.5 trillion loss.The valuation of the benchmark is currently $24.84 trillion.The U.S. S&P 500 <.SPX> alone has lost more than $710 billion this week after losing $850 billion the previous week, while European shares measured by the MSCI Europe <.MSCIEU> have lost almost $500 billion this week.(Reporting by Dominic Lau; Editing by David Cowell)

S&P 500 chart triggers death cross
Reuters – AUG 11,11


NEW YORK (Reuters) - The S&P 500 triggered a key technical signal called a death cross on Thursday that could mean more negative moves ahead.The benchmark's 50-day moving average dipped below its 200-day average in what technical analysts consider a sign that short-term momentum has turned more negative than long-term momentum and could show the current downtrend is pervasive. Both moving averages are currently heading lower.For a graphic see http://r.reuters.com/wyp23s The benchmark's 50-day average had last been below its 200-day average in mid October.

French banks lead European sector lower
By Dominic Lau, editing by Nigel Stephenson | Reuters – AUG 11,11


LONDON (Reuters) - Shares in French banks fell sharply on Thursday on persistent worries about their outlook, dragging down an index of European bank stocks, which has lost almost 30 percent this year.Societe Generale shares fell 4.1 percent, giving up an earlier rebound. They lost as much as 23 percent on Wednesday before closing down 15 percent.BNP Paribas , France's biggest bank, lost 3.6 percent, while the STOXX Europe 600 bank index <.SX7P> fell 0.5 percent, extending the previous session's 6.7 percent drop, which took the gauge to its lowest close since April 2009.Bank of America-Merrill Lynch cut the sector to neutral from overweight.Having hung on to a value argument for the banks sector year-to-date, our latest downgrade to global growth expectations makes its difficult to sustain conviction in this argument and we lower our sector weighting to neutral,Merrill strategists said in a note.As long as EU peripheral debt issues remain in the headlines despite the best efforts of the European Central Bank, banks will likely remain a focal point for negative risk appetite and we believe this will weigh against optically cheap valuations and low investor positioning.

The banking sector has lost more than 29 percent so far this year, the second worst performing segment in Europe, on concerns over the currency bloc's debt crisis and a deteriorating outlook for global growth.The slide has pushed banks' valuations to the lowest among all 18 STOXX Europe 600 <.STOXX> sectors. European banks carried a 12-month forward price-to-earnings of 7.1 times, versus a 10-year average of 10.9, according to data from Thomson Reuters Datastream.The FTSEurofirst index of leading European shares <.FTEU3> was flat on the day at 910.49 after trading as low as 905.07.(Reporting by Dominic Lau, editing by Nigel Stephenson)

40 years on from gold standard, bugs crow
Reuters By Jan Harvey | Reuters – AUG 11,11


LONDON (Reuters) - Gold, and only gold, will be our salvation when the value of companies, banks, countries and even money itself melts away. Gold, not shifting currencies, is the foundation of wealth and security. Gold is back, for good.This is the song of the gold bugs - the fervent fans of the precious metal who have clung to its investment value for three generations and now glow in the reflected luster of a record price approaching $2,000 for just one ounce.Monday will mark the 40th anniversary of the United States' abandonment of the gold standard. But gold bugs kept the faith -- even when prices stayed under $500 for nearly 25 years after their 1981 peak.Their passion derided, dismissed as hopelessly out dated doomsayers, their love for the metal seemed irrational.The gold bug label itself goes back to master of the supernatural Edgar Allen Poe and his story of that name, a tale of golden beetle whose bite sends the hero to a chest of gold and jewels.It reappeared as one of the first campaign buttons -- a brass bug sported by supporters of William McKinley in the bitter U.S. presidential election of 1896.

McKinley, the first presidential candidate to barnstorm across the nation, backed the gold standard against his Democratic opponent's proposal that it should be joined by silver in a fixed ratio. Loser William Bryan slipped into history but bimetallism lived on for a little in the think tanks of the day.Fast forward and the financial crisis of 2008 has made gold the darling of investors from hedge funds to taxi drivers, and sparked a near-doubling of prices.Gold has been rising against all national currencies, and that's significant, James Turk, founder of bullion dealer Goldmoney, said.When there are problems with a national currency... people begin to worry about the value of their money, whether they're going to lose purchasing power because of inflation or other problems. As a consequence, they look for safe havens.

He was speaking as a true gold bug -- not in the dark days after Lehman Brothers' demise in 2008, nor in the depths of last year's euro zone debt crisis, nor after Standard & Poor's recent downgrade of the United States' top-notch credit rating.
Turk's view came in a BusinessWeek interview he gave in 2005, well in advance of the current financial crisis.My long-standing forecast, made in a Barron's interview in October 2003, is that $8,000 per ounce will be reached sometime between 2013-2015, he told Reuters this week.I've stayed with that forecast over the years and see no reason to change it.The world's current financial woes are only going to get worse if current policies continue, he believes, meaning the rally in gold prices is unlikely to stop here.Politicians and central bankers are making decisions that debase national currencies, and the resulting bad monetary policies they are following are causing the gold price to rise, he said.Gold's latest push to record highs has gone hand-in-hand with a plunge in Wall Street stocks to their lowest in nearly a year, while the dollar is languishing near multi-year lows.Long-term gold bull David Beahm, vice president of marketing and economic research at New Orleans bullion dealer Blanchard and Co., says worries over the stability of the stock markets will be a key driver of higher gold prices.The best investment right now is gold, he said.By diversifying one's portfolio with a negatively-correlated gold, investors can protect themselves from deep plunges in the equity market.There is no news in the market today or over the coming few months that is likely to stop the current gold bull market, as the fundamentals are firmly in place for gold to continue its rise, he says.

Traditional investment commentators have dismissed gold -- which, with no intrinsic value of its own, is only really as valuable as a buyer thinks it is -- as a classic bubble.But those who have predicted its crash since it rose above $700 an ounce in 2006, on a simple what goes up, must come down analysis, have consistently been proved short-sighted.Gold prices traded in a relatively narrow range from $250-420 an ounce for the whole of the 1990s. They have since more than quadrupled from that high, peaking at a record just below $1,800 an ounce earlier this week.Their rise accelerated sharply from 2005 onwards, breaking through $1,000 an ounce in 2008 as the weaker dollar fueled demand for alternative stores of value.Now gold bulls are predicting that prices, now around $1,750 an ounce, but still short of an inflation-adjusted high of nearly $2,500 in 1980, could climb even higher.I believe the price of gold will rise irregularly over the next several years, possibly reaching $1,850 an ounce by the end of this year, breaking above $2,000 in 2012, and possibly $3,000, $4,000, and even $5,000 in years to come, says Jeffrey Nichols, managing director of American Precious Metals Advisors and senior economic advisor to Rosland Capital.At the heart of this forecast is my observation (or belief) that the United States and, to a lesser but still significant extent, Europe have been living beyond our means for decades.Back in 1896, losing presidential candidate Bryan's Cross of Gold speech turned the watching crowd into a wild, raging irresistible mob, the New York Times reported.Gold bugs, often accused of sensationalism, are finding their passion is becoming mainstream. Raging is probably no longer a suitable description of them. Irresistible is increasingly nearer the mark.(Reporting by Jan Harvey, editing by William Hardy and Richard Mably)

Banks drag Wall Street lower as fear returns
Reuters By Rodrigo Campos | Reuters – AUG 11,11


NEW YORK (Reuters) - Fear returned to Wall Street on Wednesday, sending the S&P 500 to another 4 percent decline, triggered by worries that Europe's debt crisis could engulf French banks and spill onto the U.S. financial sector.Trading was once again marked by sharp moves on heavy volume. For a fifth straight day, the Dow industrials fluctuated in a range of more than 400 points.What you're seeing is a very short-term, direction-oriented market, said Eric Kuby, chief investment officer of North Star Investment Management Corp in Chicago.Worries about the strength of French lenders, including Societe Generale, triggered a selloff in European and U.S. banks. Rumors about SocGen's financial health, which the bank denied, sent its shares tumbling 14.7 percent.An index of European banks dropped 6.7 percent and the KBW index of U.S. bank stocks slid 4.9 percent as fear grew of a possible contagion of any French crisis. Bank of America Corp lost 10.9 percent to $6.77 and Goldman Sachs slid more than 10 percent to $110.34.The Dow Jones industrial average lost 519.83 points, or 4.62 percent, to 10,719.94. The S&P 500 fell 51.77 points, or 4.42 percent, to 1,120.76. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 101.47 points, or 4.09 percent, to 2,381.05.Wednesday's drop came a day after stocks rallied on the Federal Reserve's pledge to keep interest rates near zero for at least two more years.Even after Tuesday's snap-back rally, the S&P 500 is down almost 18 percent from its 2011 closing high set April 29.

The losses came against the backdrop of recent weak U.S. economic data, the United States losing its triple-A credit rating from Standard & Poor's and the inability of lawmakers to address worries that another recession may be on the way.About 15.1 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex and Nasdaq, almost double the year's estimated daily average of 7.8 billion.Volume once again spiked in the last hour of trading, and the market closed near its session lows. Of late, overleveraged investors with losses on their books have been forced to sell shares near the end of the day.Between 3 and 3:20 (p.m.) you have people getting margin calls, and on days like today there's some nervousness about what those calls will look like, said Andrew Frankel, co-president of Stuart Frankel & Co in New York, referring to the volatility of the final hour of trading.Slides in the value of stocks may increase the cash needed in margin accounts, which can spark further selling.Dow component Walt Disney Co dropped 9.1 percent to $31.54 a day after the entertainment company's quarterly results failed to reassure investors that it could do well in a weak U.S. economy.After the closing bell, Cisco Systems Inc's shares jumped nearly 12 percent after its quarterly results edged past Wall Street's scaled-back expectations.Declining stocks outnumbered advancing ones during the regular session on the NYSE by a ratio of more than 8 to 3, while on the Nasdaq, almost five stocks fell for every one that rose.(Reporting by Rodrigo Campos; Additional reporting by Ryan Vlastelica; Editing by Kenneth Barry)

Alaska volcano erupting with lava streams from crater
Reuters By Yereth Rosen | Reuters – AUG 11,11



ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - A volcano that has been erupting for several days in Alaska's Aleutian Islands may be preparing for a more explosive event, scientists said on Wednesday.Cleveland Volcano, a 5,676-foot peak located on Chuginadak Island, about 940 miles southwest of Anchorage, has been in low-level eruption since the end of July, the Alaska Volcano Observatory said.An eruption for us is any time that magma is coming up from the surface in the ground, said John Power, scientist in charge at the observatory, a joint federal-state operation. This is very much happening here.Chuginadak Island is uninhabited and the volcano has not posed an immediate hazard to anyone or affected air traffic, even though it lies directly in the North America-to-Asia flight corridor used by major airlines, Power said.But there is a possibility that the extrusion of lava is a precursor to a big explosive event that would send ash into the atmosphere, he said.The dome, if it continues to grow, could plug up the crater, creating pressure that could result in a fairly sizable explosion that could throw ash up to flight levels, Power said.The Alaska Volcano Observatory first reported the eruption a week ago, when satellite images showed that the lava dome on the volcano's summit was widening.Cleveland Volcano covers about half of Chuginadak Island. The closest community to the volcano is Nikolski, an Aleut village of about 20 people located 45 miles to the east.

The fishing port of Unalaska/Dutch Harbor is about 150 miles to the east of the volcano.Cleveland's last major eruption was in 2001, but it has had several smaller or suspected ash-spewing eruptions since then.The extrusion of lava into a bigger summit dome is not typical for this volcano, Power said. This is something we really haven't observed at Cleveland before, he said.However, dome-building events have preceded big explosive eruptions at other Alaska volcanoes, including Redoubt Volcano near Anchorage, he said.Redoubt's 2009 eruptions caused numerous flight cancellations, as well as a disruption of offshore oil production in nearly Cook Inlet.(Editing by Dan Whitcomb and Greg McCune)

Atmosphere May Help Power Huge Freak Waves
LiveScience.com Katherine Tweed, OurAmazingPlanet Contributor
LiveScience.com – Wed Aug 10, 3:24 pm ET


In 1995, an 84-foot wall of water pummeled an offshore oil rig in the North Sea. This massive wave wasn't a tsunami triggered by an earthquake — it was the first documented occurrence of a rogue wave.Rogue waves are enormous waves that occur far out at sea seemingly in isolation and without an obvious cause. They have been plaguing sailors since the advent of seafaring, yet it wasn’t until monitoring equipment on the rig captured the telltale data that scientists could confirm that freak waves, as they’re also known, were not just the product of a sea-soaked imagination.But in the years since then, the study of rogue waves has yielded as many questions as answers. Scientists have examined the wave patterns to look for clues as to how this seemingly random phenomenon could occur.New research suggests that atmospheric pressure may play a role.Maybe this isn't just a wave problem, which is how we've been looking at this for the past decade, said Tim Janssen, associate professor of oceanography at San Francisco State University, who was not involved with the study. This time, let's step out of the box and say maybe there's atmospheric variation going on.

Pressure from above

Oceanographers from Japan and Norway analyzed wind and wave records from the Kvitebjorn platform in the North Sea from 2003 to 2005. The researchers then split the days with rogue waves into two groups: freakish and non-freakish. Freakish days had more than two records of rogue waves in a day, which were defined as being more than double the significant wave height.The paper first found that a conventional analysis known as the Benjamin-Feir instability index (BFI), which is thought to show areas where huge waves are more likely based on the conditions of the ocean, did not correlate to the freakish days. That finding, Janssen said, is important because it highlights that the BFI doesn’t fully apply in the real world.Next, the authors looked at the sea level pressure, surface air temperature and sea surface temperature. Although temperature didn't seem to correspond to the occurrence of freak waves, an enhanced air pressure pattern called the Iceland-Azores sea level pressure was significantly related to freakish days. [Infographic: Earth's Atmosphere Top to Bottom]The researchers also found that peak wind speed for the day, rather than average wind speed, might be a better indicator of rogue wave conditions.It's a very useful paper, Janssen told OurAmazingPlanet.It will help the community to reconsider [atmospheric variations.]

Mystery remains

Janssen also noted that it wasn't surprising that atmospheric pressure would be a factor, since changes in pressure often influence changes in wind speeds. However, there is still a lot of work to be done. Although the study identified that there was some sort of relationship between giant waves and atmospheric conditions, the nature of that relationship is not known.If this research can be proved through other studies, it could help predict the deadly waves not just in the North Sea, but in any ocean where they occur.We don't really know what causes them, Janssen said. It might not be just one physical process. It might be many. We don't know.This story was provided by OurAmazingPlanet, a sister site to LiveScience.

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake (ISRAELS SAKE) those days shall be shortened (Daylight hours shortened)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

REVELATION 16:7-9
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

AMERICA (POLITICAL BABYLON)(NUKED BY SNEAK ATTACK FROM RUSSIA)

JEREMIAH 50:3,24
3 For out of the north (RUSSIA) there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon,(AMERICA) and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD. (RUSSIA A SNEAK ATTACK ON AMERICA)

REVELATION 18:3-6,19-21
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication,(U.S.A) and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,(U.S.A) and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,(AMERICA) my people,(CHRISTIANS,JEWS) that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you,(WITH FALSE FLAG TERRORISM) and double unto her double according to her works:(DOUBLE-EMP 1ST,THEN RUSSIA NUKE ATTACKS U.S.A) in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.(PROBABLY A RUSSIAN CYBER ATTACK WILL SET THE WHOLE SITUATION UP AS RUSSIA HACKS THE USA ARMY COMPUTERS.THEN THE EMP,THEN THE NUKE ATTACK)
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.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

EU cannot exclude US-type sanctions on Russian officials 10.08.11 @ 15:54 By Andrew Rettman

The EU has said it cannot exclude the possibility of punitive measures against Russian officials if Moscow fails to adequately investigate the alleged murder of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky.It is of great importance for Russia's future that this case is investigated properly by the Russian judicial authorities, and that those responsible for any wrongdoing are brought to justice, European External Action Service spokesman Michael Mann said in a written statement to EUobserver.Should this not take place, we cannot exclude further reactions by the EU or its member states.

The statement was sent in answer to questions if the EU will follow the US in imposing a visa ban on 60 Russian officials believed to have embezzled €160 million in tax money and killed Magnitsky when he exposed the scam.The US took the step in July despite Russian threats of retaliation - Russian daily Kommersant on Wednesday (10 August) reported that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has ordered his own blacklist of several dozen US officials.The deadline for any EU reaction is late August when the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation is expected to complete its probe into the Magnitsky affair.The committee has so far named two prison doctors for giving him inadequate medical treatment.Magnitsky's mother and his former employer, UK-based venture capitalist Bill Browder, see it as a bid to scapegoat junior officials while letting senior suspects, such as the head of the Moscow tax authority, Olga Stepanova, off the hook.Two recent developments augur badly for EU requests to see justice.In July the interior ministry voided the findings of Medvedev's Human Rights Council after it said ministry officials were guilty of stealing money and that Magnitsky was murdered in prison.Last week the ministry said it will prosecute the deceased lawyer for alleged tax evasion. The move is widely seen as a smear campaign.

The Russian government has shown no intention of prosecuting the real culprits at high levels in the interior ministry who tortured and killed Sergei Magnitsky. As a result, there has been a distinct shift in the attitude of the EU toward this case, Browder told this website.Ultimately, the EU will follow the US in imposing visa sanctions and eventually both will freeze the assets of those people responsible.

Comment by Russian MFA Spokesman Regarding Media Reports of Possible US State Department Visa Sanctions Tied to the Magnitsky Case 1163-27-07-2011

We have taken note of the US media reports citing official sources about the State Department’s plans to impose visa restrictions on some Russian officials allegedly involved in the death of Sergei Magnitsky. This topic is not new and has already become overgrown with various speculations, including in relation to the discussion in Congress of the appropriate bill.Of course, we understand that it is within the competence of the authorities of any state to close access to their territory, even without explanation. However, the arbitrary use of this right to punish foreign nationals, especially in the absence of any judicial decisions and in violation of the principle of presumption of innocence, causes rejection from both a legal and ethical point of view. Attempts to interfere in the course of the investigation and the pressure on the judiciary are absolutely inadmissible. These are the tools of the past, of the policy of diktat and labeling which has proven to be ineffective.

The American side is well aware of the measures being taken by the Russian authorities for a full and thorough investigation of the tragedy that occurred with Sergei Magnitsky. Against this background, the political games, into which, it seems, the US executive branch is also getting involved, raise bewilderment and concern. It is impossible not to see that such actions could introduce a serious irritant to Russian-US relations, and inflict harm upon the efforts to build trust and constructive cooperation in bilateral dialogue.Of course, the Russian side will not leave such unfriendly steps unanswered and will take adequate measures to protect the sovereignty of our country and the rights of Russian citizens against unjustified moves by foreign states.July 27, 2011
