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.

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.

Iran Threatens West with Heavy Casualties-Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman warns the U.S. and its allies: Hasty steps will lead to heavy casualties.By Elad Benari First Publish: 2/16/2012, 4:15 AM

Just hours after Iran announced it would be expanding centrifuge operations at the underground Fordo nuclear facility near Qoms, the Islamic Republic continued to threaten the West.Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast warned the U.S. and its allies on Wednesday evening that hasty steps will lead to heavy casualties, Channel 2 News reported.The U.S. and its Western allies are unable to carry out any operation against Iran, Mehmanparast was quoted as having said. Any irresponsible response will lead to heavy casualties.He added that the global hegemony against the Islamic Republic is due to its influence on world politics. Referring to the accusations that Tehran was behind the latest wave of terrorist attacks against Israeli targets, Mehmanparast said, Israel commits acts of terrorism, then blames Tehran to divert public opinion.Iran also announced on Wednesday that it activated a new generation of centrifuges at its Natanz nuclear site in order to accelerate its uranium enrichment activities.The United States, however, downplayed Iran's announcement and said it was not terribly new and not terribly impressive.We frankly don't see a lot new here. This is not big news. In fact it seems to have been hyped,State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters.

REBUILT 3RD TEMPLE (THE EU DICTATORS TEMPLE)

ISAIAH 30:10-15
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

REVELATION 11:1-2
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

DANIEL 9:27
27 And he( THE ROMAN,EU PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:(1X7=7 YEARS) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3 1/2 yrs in TEMPLE SACRIFICES STOPPED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

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
9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

ISAIAH 2:1-5
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
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.

MARK 11:9-10,15-17
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name 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.

ZOA: End Discrimination Against Jews On Temple Mount Now-The ZOA sent a sharply critical letter to government officials demanding unfettered access for Jews to pray on the Temple Mount-By David Lev First Publish: 2/16/2012, 8:24 AM

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) this week sent a sharply critical letter to Knesset members government ministers, and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, demanding that Jews have the right to unfettered access and freedom to pray on the Temple Mount (Har Habayit). The Mount, the letter says, and not the Western Wall (Kotel) is Judaism's holiest site. More Jews have wanted to visit the Temple Mount in recent years as, increasingly, rabbinic authorities are stating publicly that Jewish law does not prohibit this. Yet, Israeli police and security personnel, hoping to appease Muslim extremists including the Wakf authority on the Temple Mount, have been engaging in blatantly discriminatory and humiliating behavior toward Jewish visitors.This is patently unfair – and constitutes discrimination against Jews.The ZOA's letter was sent to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Minister of the Interior Eli Yishai, Minister of Internal Security Yitzchak Aharonovitch; Minister of Justice Yaakov Ne’eman, Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Yuli Edelstein, Minister of Religious Affairs Yakov Margi, and Knesset Interior Affairs and Environment Committee Chair MK Amnon Cohen, along with fellow committee members. These are the officials who have the authority to allow free access to Jews to ascend the Mount for prayers, the ZOA said.

Access to holy places is a right guaranteed by Israeli law, but the law is not being implemented,the letter says.When Jerusalem once again became a united city in 1967 as a result of the Six Day War, the Israeli Knesset passed an amendment to the Law and Administration Ordinance, extending Israeli sovereignty to Jerusalem's eastern sector. That includes the Old City, and the Temple Mount in its center.In addition, the ZOA charges, Identifiably Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount are singled out for biased treatment. Unfortunately there is more concern for the extremist demands of the Wakf than regard for the rights of all citizens, including Jewish citizens, under Israeli law. For years, Israeli authorities have been engaging in many discriminatory practices on the Temple Mount directed against openly identifiable Jews,the letter says. For example, Jews wearing overt Jewish symbols or dress have to endure waiting in a special security line before entering the Temple Mount while all others pass them by,showing their IDs before entering the Mount, special ritual item searches” before entering the Mount,and other indignities.The letter also cited numerous examples of discrimination – and worse. A mother of five was arrested for quietly reciting the Hallel prayer on the fifth day of Chanuka last December. On a particularly hot day in September, a 67-year-old man was arrested after he sat down and quietly recited a blessing before taking a sip of water, as required by Jewish law. Another person found his water confiscated at the entrance to prevent the possibility a blessing might be recited.

There have been ten arrests in the past four months alone,the letter continued. Most recently, Yosef Rabin, a Temple Mount activist and Temple Renewal Institute liaison, informed ZOA's Israel Office that Yosef Idan, son of prominent Sephardic rabbi and scholar Rav Tzvi Idan, had been arrested for praying. Allegedly, Idan also was physically struck by the authorities even though, according to reports, he offered no resistance. Identified Jews are shunted to the side to wait separately in what some have come to cynically call the selekzia,alluding to the Nazis' orderly process of deciding which Jews would live and which Jews would go to their demise.Although the ZOA is reluctant to use such a loaded term, the letter said, it is telling that Jews subjected to systematic abuse on the Temple Mount would even contemplate using this term.And it isn't only Jews who are targeted, the ZOA contends. The same oppressive measures are extended to a non-Jew in the company of an identifiable Jew, in which case guilt is suspected by association. And a Christian visiting the Temple Mount alone, then caught reciting a prayer, also faces the consequences: Wakf representatives notify the police with their walkie talkies, who then confiscate IDs and arrest the perpetrator once he/she leaves the Mount.And through it all, police have taken an extremely light view of Arab crimes. The fact is, not one act of desecration or disrespect for Muslim holy places has been committed by Jews on the Temple Mount. No Jews ever have terrorized Muslims there or engaged in rioting. The worst acts of Temple Mount violence and desecrations have been perpetrated by Muslims, such as raining rocks on Jewish worshippers below at the Western Wall. And it is the Wakf that has illegally been digging up and trashing tons of earth laden with First and Second Temple artifacts, thereby devastating a priceless archeological historical record.

The time has come to end the discrimination, the letter says. The ZOA recognizes the need to maintain the highest level of security at a site as sensitive as the Temple Mount. Yet, it has been demonstrated that security threats to date have come from, rather than have been directed toward, the Muslims praying there. And while the ZOA feels it is proper to be attuned to the sensibilities of all religious groups, including Muslims, it objects to the unjustified and unnecessary abrogation of one group's rights, to pray non-provocatively at its holiest site, in order to accommodate another group's enmity.The ZOA, therefore, urges the Government of Israel to take steps to end the discriminatory policy that is applied on the Temple Mount, so that visiting Jews and other non-Muslims may be accorded all of the civil and religious rights taken for granted in the international community,the letter adds. Our co-religionists want to practice a simple act of faith at the ultimate Jewish holy site, they just want to pray quietly and respectfully, and we must advocate for them. For if not here, then where?

Don't bow to the Vatican-Op-ed: State of Israel should not be giving up its sovereignty over holy sites in Jerusalem Giulio Meotti Published:02.04.12, 13:56 / Israel Opinion

Israel reached an historical agreement with the Vatican to give up some sort of sovereignty over the Hall of the Last Supper on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. The Vatican will now have a foothold at the site: Israel agreed to give the Vatican first priority in leasing opportunities and access to it. 
This was the culmination of a long campaign by the Roman Catholic Church to regain religious stewardship over the place where Jesus broke bread and drank wine with his disciples on the eve of his crucifixion, and where the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples at Pentecost.The room is the third-most holy site in Christendom after the Sepulcher in Jerusalem, built over Christ’s tomb, and the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem, where the birth of Jesus took place.A few months ago, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, head of the Vatican’s Council for Interreligious Dialogue, asked to place the Israeli holy site under Vatican authority. The problem is that the site is also King David’s Tomb, a complex of buildings of some 100,000 square feet where David and Solomon, and Jewish kings of Judea, are buried.That's why the agreement constitutes sad capitulation by Israel to the Vatican’s efforts to Christianize the holy site, like when a Catholic convent was built in Auschwitz. In 1989, US Rabbi Avi Weiss protested against the Catholic decision to build the convent in the death camp. The cloister was a few feet from the barbed wire fence and Nazi guard towers. It also had a 23-foot wooden cross in the middle.Weiss and other Jewish protesters scaled the walls of the convent and blew a shofar. Catholic workers at the site poured paint and water on the Jewish protesters and physically removed them. Will we see the same kind of episodes on the Mount of Zion?

Tell them no
The Diaspora Yeshiva, located in Mount Zion after 1967, says that the Vatican will turn it into a pilgrimage site for hundreds of thousands of Catholics and hold religious services there. In fact, during his visit to Israel in 2000, Pope John Paul II held mass in the Hall of Last Supper. The Pope knew that the site had a strategic location, as it’s just a few hundred yards from the Temple Mount and adjacent to the Old City walls.The Vatican wants Israel to also relinquish sovereignty at the Western Wall and the Temple Mount. The Holy See uses the expression Holy Basin, which refers to the area of the Temple Mount, the Mount of Olives, Mount Zion and a variety of Christian holy sites that many US governments also asked to be administered under a special regime.Israel should no be bowing to the Vatican, as the Jewish State is admirably committed to protecting the holy sites of all religions and guaranteeing the right of worship for all faiths. However, instead of saying keep your hands off Jerusalem, it’s not for sale, the Israeli government accepted the Vatican’s ransom request.In the long term, the gesture will increase tensions between Jews and the tremendously large assets of the Vatican. The Holy See has long been working to reduce Jewish rights in Jerusalem and in the Old City. Now, after the Muslim Waqf authority expelled the Christians from the site and turned it into a mosque, it’s the turn of the Vatican to lay its hands on the Jewish Jerusalem.The goal is to ensure that a Jew will not set foot in the heart of Jerusalem, as was the case before 1967. Israel, tell them no with a capital N. Vatican’t.Giulio Meotti, a journalist with Il Foglio, is the author of the book A New Shoah: The Untold Story of Israel's Victims of Terrorism.

The Pope, St Malachy, war, economy and 2012-Vic ♦ January 10, 2012-Pope Benedict to step down April 15 2012

According to Italian daily newspaper Libero, Pope Benedict XVI is thinking about leaving the papacy next April, when he will turn 85-ANdrea Tornielli Vatican City

There is one front page news story that will certainly not go unnoticed: that is, that the Pope is thinking about resigning during the Spring of 2012. Journalist Antonio Socci has confirmed the same in the Italian daily, Libero.For now, Socci writes, he is saying that this may be true (Joseph Ratzinger’s personal assumption), but I hope the story does not reach the news. But this rumor is circulating high up in the Vatican and therefore deserves close attention. The Pope has not rejected the possibility of his resignation when he turns 85 in April next year.Socci recalls that the assumption he will resign, without any hitches, was the same thing Ratzinger talked about in an interview in the book Luce del mondo (Light of the World), when, in response to a question by interviewer Peter Seewald, he said: When a Pope arrives at a clear awareness that he no longer has the physical, mental, or psychological capacity to carry out the task that has been entrusted to him, then he has the right, and in some cases, even the duty to resign.Furthermore, in another passage, Benedict XVI wondered if he would be able to withstand it all, just from the physical point of view.Next Up is Peter the Roman.(THE FALSE VATICAN POPE)

Israel Complains to UN Chief Over Iranian Terror Campaign-Israel's UN envoy Ron Prosor filed a formal complaint with UN chief Ban Ki-moon over Iran's terror campaign on Israeli diplomats.By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 2/16/2012, 5:56 PM

Israel on Thursday lodged a complaint with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon over a terror campaign Jerusalem says Iran has mounted against the Jewish state.This week a terror attack seriously wounded the wife of an Israeli diplomat in India, while authorities in Georgia disarmed a bomb on an Israeli diplomatic vehicle, and three Iranian nationals botched a bombing attempt targeting Israeli diplomats in Bangkok
This campaign bears the unmistakable fingerprints of the Iranian regime and the highest echelons of the Hizbullah leadership,Israel’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ron Proser, said in a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
Their actions constitute a clear threat to security and stability of Lebanon, to the Middle East, and to many countries that have been targeted, Prosor wrote.In each of these instances, the letter said, Iran and Hizbullah have sought to harm innocent civilians and have flagrantly violated the sovereignty of member states.Iran has long employed international terrorism as a pillar of its foreign policy, often using Hizbullah as a proxy to stage attacks,the letter said.Prosor's letter came on the same day that the Mossad and authorities in Singapore thwarted a terror attack targeting Defense Minister Ehud Barak.In the letter, Prosor chastised the United Nations for failing to immediately condemn this week’s attacks in Bangkok, Delhi, and Tsbili. He also noted terror attacks on Israeli diplomats in Azerbaijan and Bulgaria were also thwarted in recent months.Israel expects it to issue a clear condemnation…without any further delay or equivocation. The Council must also address this threat by considering active steps against Iran, Hizbullah and their terrorist infrastructure worldwide.

Japanese PM Tells Barak: Iran Attack Dangerous-Defense Minister says Assad family will fall within weeks.By Gil Ronen First Publish: 2/16/2012, 6:14 PM

Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda told Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Wednesday that attacking Iran would be a dangerous move and attempted to dissuade him from it, according to a report by a Japanese news agency.Noda warned that a strike on Iran could escalate the standoff between Iran and the West.On Thursday, Barak met his Japanese counterpart, Naoki Tanaka. The meeting dealt with a wide range of regional matters in the Middle East, as well as Asia-related issues.The international community must join hands and stop Iran from reaching nuclear weapons through crippling sanctions, Barak told Tanaka.A nuclear Iran is a danger to world stability and provides a tailwind for terror organizations worldwide.Barak mentioned the recent series of terror attacks against Israeli diplomatic targets as proof that Iran uses terror to destabilize the world.The Defense Minister said that the Assad family would fall from power in Syria in a few weeks' time. The fall of the Assad family will be a blow to the Iran-Syria-Hizbullah axis,he added.Israel is monitoring with concern the transfer of advanced weapons systems from Syria to Lebanon, Barak said.

Bail-out delay prompts fear of Greek euro exit
Today FEB 16,12 @ 09:30 By Valentina Pop

BRUSSELS - Greece fears it is being pushed out of the euro after eurozone ministers delayed a decision on its second bail-out for another five days.We are continually faced with new terms ... In the euro area, there are plenty who don't want us anymore. There are some playing with fire, domestically and abroad. Some are playing with torches and some are playing with matches. But the risk is equally great, Greek finance minister Evangelos Venizelos told reporters in Athens on Wednesday (15 February) after a three-hour conference call with his 16 counterparts from the eurozone.Greek politicians have pledged not to undo spending cuts after April elections and to find another €325 million of flesh to trim from the budget.Bur eurogroup chief Jean-Claude Juncker said further technical work is needed before the ministers can sign off on the €130 billion bail-out, most likely on Monday.He said in an emailed statement after the Wednesday tele-meeting that ministers want to see detailed list of prior actions together with a timeline for their implementation and specific mechanisms to strengthen the surveillance of programme implementation put in place before the deadline.Germany, Finland and the Netherlands have been at the forefront in demanding stronger reassurances that Athens sticks to its promises.

We just need to be reassured 110 percent, one diplomat told this website after the conference call.In Helsinki, Finnish finance minister Jutta Urpilainen said creditor countries have become very strict after Greece broke promisses on its first bail-out in 2010.Ultimately the question is whether Greece has political will to sort out its economy and fulfill the conditions,she said during a press conference.German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble in the past few days has used harsh language on Athens.On Sunday he told Die Welt we are not going to pour money into a bottomless pit and that if Greece defaults on its debt the eurozone is better prepared now than two years ago. On Monday he said in Der Spiegel that Greece should temporarily relinquish some of its sovereignty if it wants more money.German centre-right MEP Elmar Brok on Wednesday said Greek elections should be postponed for one year to let technocrats stay in power.Such statements have produced strong reactions in Greece.

Greek EU commissioner Maria Damanaki told Tagesspiegel that her country's efforts are being underestimated in certain European capitals.German flags have been burned on the streets of Athens and banners, while some tabloids portrayed German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a Nazi uniform.Meanwhile, President Karolos Papoulias, who recently gave up his salary as a gesture of solidarity, told a meeting of military commanders this week: I cannot accept that my country should be reviled by Schauble. I cannot accept this as a Greek. Who is Schauble to insult Greece? Who are the Dutch? Who are the Finnish?

EU and US roll out gold standard for organic food
Today FEB 16,12 @ 09:28 By Nikolaj Nielsen

BRUSSELS - Organic goods produced in the United States and in Europe will be sold and certified under the same organic label in both markets after a trade deal signed on Wednesday (15 February).Previously, both European and US farmers had to obtain separate certifications. A European farmer, for instance, wishing to sell organic food in the US would have had to obtain a US organic label and vice-versa.Under the new deal, which is to be launched in June, producers on both sides of the Atlantic will have one standard and one certificate issued by existing US or EU national authorities.Meats, cereals, and wines receiving organic certification in one region can be sold as organic in the other.Organic farmers and food producers will benefit from easier access, with less bureaucracy and less costs, to both the US and the EU markets, strengthening the competitiveness of this sector,said EU agriculture commissioner Dacian Ciolos in Nuremberg, Germany where the deal was inked.The organic industry in the US and Europe is worth a combined €40 billion a year.

According to the European Commission, both regions account for 90 percent of global organic consumption. In the EU, the market had a six percent annual growth in the past decade.Ambassador Isi Siddiqui, a senior US trade representative, said the new deal would lead to more jobs in this important sector for both America and Europe.The two sides agreed that each other's standards were almost identical after two years of inspections.But slight variations mean not all organic produce can be freely exported.US organic pears and apples, for instance, do not qualify. Nor do some EU organic meats and fish, which are sometimes exposed to antibiotics - strictly prohibited under the new agreement.All organic products will have a label identifying where they are from and who certified them so that regulators can track compliance with the new regime.

Monti to make Italy driving force of EU integration
15.02.12 @ 18:03 By Valentina Pop

BRUSSELS - Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti charmed all major political parties in the European Parliament on Wednesday (15 February), pledging to defend EU institutions at a time when national governments are increasingly blaming Brussels for austerity.Too often in Brussels as a commissioner I saw national governments pointing the finger at EU institutions after they were part and parcel of the decision making process. I made a pledge never to play this dirty trick on the EU, the former EU commissioner, appointed last year as head of the Italian government told MEPs in Strasbourg to warm applause.His speech - one of the rare occasions when Italian was used for over an hour in the assembly - was aimed at restoring his country's standing as one of the founding members of the EU and the euro after years of political penumbra under his controversial predecessor, Silvio Berlusconi.

The new Italy - in the words of Monti, a former banker and economics professor - will be committed not only to austerity, but also to growth and will not just passively transpose EU guidelines, but wants to be a major driver of these guidelines.It is in this spirit that he invited German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy to Rome on Friday, for talks which will focus on the community method and recognise the priority of EU institutions.He noted that Germany and France, with the complicity of Italy, were the first to water down original eurozone discipline rules, the so-called Stability and Growth Pact.He promised to do everything he can not to further increase the gap between euro and non-euro countries. He also pointedly switched to English when criticising a deeply superficial insular culture that naively might believe EU integration means a superstate after the UK vetoed crisis-related changes to the EU Treaty last December.

His speech had something for everyone - praise for German budget discipline culture, sympathy for Greece for arguably excessive austerity measures, but also a reproach that Athens cooked the books for years and tolerated corruption, nepotism and dodgy public procurements.Monti appeared to push all the right buttons.Centre-right chief Joseph Daul - a Frenchman - said that even though he supports the Franco-German partnership as the engine of Europe, Monti is an example for the EU in his rejection of intergovernmentalism.Socialist leader Hannes Swoboda urged him to return to the European scene so we can elect you as house speaker.Liberal supremo Guy Verhofstadt suggested that Monti be sent to all troubled euro-countries once he has finished reforms in Italy. Even the Greens - usually caustic towards any unelected officials - had words of praise. You are a strong man contributing to EU politics becoming more civilised,said Rebecca Harms, the Green group chief.The only criticism came from the far right and the far left - for being an unelected technocrat and a member of the very same international banking elite that is to blame for the crisis in the first place.

Alaska Bill Would Criminalize Invasive TSA Pat Downs-Rep. Sharon Cissna’s legislation would also ban body scanners that produce naked images Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Thursday, February 16, 2012

A bill introduced by Alaska lawmaker and TSA grope victim Rep. Sharon Cissna would criminalize both invasive pat downs and body scans that produce naked images conducted by the federal agency, setting the stage for another states’ rights battle with the government.When Texas lawmakers tried to pass a similar law last year, the federal government threatened to enforce a no fly zone over the lone star state, and the measure was eventually defeated after a lengthy legislative struggle.Cissna was barred from flying by the TSA after an incident at SEA-TAC International Airport last year during which she refused to undergo an intrusive pat down after she had already passed through a naked body scanner. The scan results showed scars from her breast cancer surgery, prompting TSA officials to insist she underwent secondary screening.Facing the agent I began to remember what my husband and I’d decided after the previous intensive physical search. That I never had to submit to that horror again! she said. It would be difficult, we agreed, but I had the choice to say no, this twisted policy did not have to be the price of flying to Juneau.The bill introduced by Cissna, HB 262, states;

A person commits the offense of interference with access to public buildings or transportation facilities if the person, as a condition for access to a public building or transportation facility, requires another person to consent or otherwise submit to(1) physical contact by any person touching directly or through clothing the genitals, buttocks, or female breast of the person seeking access; or(2) any electronic process that produces an electronic image of the genitals, anus, or female breast or otherwise creates an electronic image of the person seeking access that exposes or reveals a physical characteristic that is normally hidden by clothing and is not normally visible to the public.Cissna’s legislation goes further than the Texas bill in that it bans body scanners that produce naked images. The abuse of such technology was in the news again this week after the TSA forced a woman to go through a body scanner three times at DFW International Airport so TSA screeners in a back room could get a good look at her cute figure.Cissna told the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that rights guaranteed in the constitutions of Alaska and the United States are violated by security measures that require unwanted physical contact or exposure of physical traits usually not visible in public, reports the Associated Press.In a related development, lawmakers in Salt Lake City have introduced a resolution that seeks to put a stop to invasive pat downs and launch a Congressional investigation into the abuses of the TSA itself.

If they can do that, what can’t they do? Rep. Ken Ivory, the sponsor of the resolution asked. Can you imagine George Washington or Thomas Jefferson going to the airport and saying, Go ahead and stick your hand down my pants. I need to get where I’m going? Ivory decries the fact that Americans are being conditioned to just submit to the feds.Our liberties are being conditioned away, he told the Deseret News.The TSA is facing a series of confrontations over the next few months, with Texas State Rep. David Simpson set to resurrect the Traveler Dignity Act, the aforementioned bill that would have made invasive TSA groping a criminal offense in Texas, as well as the passage of a new law which now opens the door for airports to evict the TSA from the security screening process altogether.

Investigation: Media Matters Conspires With White House to Influence News-Progressive government mouthpiece routinely attacks Alex Jones, Ron Paul Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Monday, February 13, 2012

An investigation by the Daily Caller has confirmed that the leftist organization Media Matters, which routinely attacks Alex Jones and Infowars, is an Obama administration front that strategizes with the White House on a weekly basis on how to influence and direct the media.Media Matters has habitually attempted to denigrate and smear Alex Jones and his message of liberty, by dismissing Jones as a crazed conspiracy theorist and then connecting him to other targets of their attacks, people like Ron Paul, Glenn Beck, Judge Andrew Napolitano, Lou Dobbs and the Fox News network.Media Matters also recently defended Janet Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security by impugning an Infowars story about the DHS targeting white middle class Americans as terrorists, and then deriding other media networks for also covering the issue.The organization has also routinely carried smear attacks implying that questioning the official story behind 9/11 is some kind of thought crime, despite the fact that six of the ten 9/11 commissioners have disputed the government’s account.A new investigation into Media Matters by the Daily Caller has revealed that the organization conducts a weekly strategy call with the White House and that an Obama administration representative meets with Media Matters reps at the Common Purpose Project meeting at the Capitol Hilton on 16th Street in Washington every Tuesday evening.

Media Matters has been in regular contact with political operatives in the Obama administration,states the report. According to visitor logs, on June 16, 2010, (David) Brock and then-Media Matters president Eric Burns traveled to the White House for a meeting with Valerie Jarrett, arguably the president’s closest adviser. Recently departed Obama communications director Anita Dunn returned to the White House for the meeting as well.Media Matters brags about how it works with the White House to control big media networks. We were pretty much writing their prime time, a former Media Matters employee said of the cable channel MSNBC. But then virtually all the mainstream media was using our stuff.The group also targets journalists who refuse to be water carriers for Media Matters’ propaganda. If you hit a reporter, say a beat reporter at a regional newspaper,a Media Matters source said, all of a sudden they’d get a thousand hostile emails. Sometimes they’d melt down. It had a real effect on reporters who weren’t used to that kind of scrutiny.The investigation also reveals that current Media Matters head David Brock lives in paranoia that right-wing assassins want to kill him and is regularly surrounded by bodyguards. Brock also carries a gun despite Media Matters’ vehement support for gun control policies.As we have previously reported, Media Matters barely even attempts to hide the fact that it is a mouthpiece for the Obama administration and the political elite.Media Matters is tied at the hip with Think Progress as part of John D. Podesta’s Progressive Media propaganda campaign, described as a war room for promoting the foreign and domestic policies of Barack Obama. Podesta, Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff, also helped found Media Matters. The organization also received a $1 million contribution from billionaire globalist George Soros back in 2010.

Podesta, who headed up Barack Obama’s presidential transition team, founded The Center for American Progress, which is tasked with driving the White House’s message and agenda.According to SourceWatch, CAP’s Progressive Media project emerged as a major communications war room on behalf of Obama’s domestic and foreign policy agenda and CAP became a strong advocate for escalation in Afghanistan. Progressive Media is run through the Center for American Project Action Fund, the more political 501(c)4 arm of CAP. It coordindates closely with the Common Purpose Project, an effort to create message discipline among the pro-Obama organizations, with a direct tie to the White House.Media Matters’ sister organization Think Progress, also founded under the umbrella of Podesta’s Center for American Progress, has aggressively attacked Alex Jones, even blaming him for influencing Richard Poplawski in the 2009 murder of three Pittsburgh police officers, despite the fact that numerous other leftist media organizations were forced to retract the baseless claim.
Media Matters has now been completely exposed as little more than an attack dog for the Obama administration. The fact that Alex Jones is regularly smeared by this organization proves that Infowars is hitting the establishment where it hurts and taking flak from the very top of the power structure.
