KING JESUS IS COMING FOR US ANY TIME NOW. THE RAPTURE. BE PREPARED TO GO.

A bipartisan group of senators on Thursday introduced a new
resolution which says that the United States would back Israel
militarily if the Jewish State were to attack Iran in self-defense.The resolution was introduced by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South
Carolina) and is co-sponsored by 15 Senators, including Robert Menendez
(D-New Jersey), Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Kelly Ayotte (R-New Hampshire),
John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Chuck Schumer (D-New York).The resolution declares that the United States has a vital national
interest in and unbreakable commitment to, ensuring the existence,
survival, and security of the
State of Israel; reaffirms the United States support for Israel’s right
to self-defense; and urges that if Israel is compelled to take military
action in self-defense, the United States will stand with Israel and provide diplomatic, military, and economic support in its defense of its territory, people, and existence.
Speaking during a press conference on Capitol Hill Thursday, Graham said the resolution is necessary to show Israel that the U.S. will support it if it decides to use military force against the Iranian regime.
“We have no better friends in that part of the world than Israel,” said Graham. “Last year President Obama told the people of Israel, ‘We have your back.’ Our resolution builds upon that statement and makes it clear that if Israel is one day forced to protect themselves we will stand with Israel.”President Obama is scheduled to arrive in Israel for his first visit as President next month, and the group said it hopes to pass the resolution before the trip.The issue of a nuclear Iran is expected to be a top priority during Obama’s meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.“This is not a green light to Israel to do anything other than defend itself. ... We will be there,” Graham said.This week, Iran held another round of negotiations with Western powers over its nuclear program. There was no sign of a major breakthrough in the Kazakh city of Almaty, but the sides agreed to hold new meetings, suggesting potential for progress.As the negotiations took place, Britain's Daily Telegraph published satellite images which show that Iran's Arak heavy-water plan is operational, raising fears that it is trying to produce plutonium for a nuclear bomb.The images appear to show steam rising from forced air coolers, suggesting heavy-water production at the plant, which has been closed to international inspectors for 18 months.Heavy water is required in plutonium-producing reactors and that raises alarms that Tehran is seeking a second path to obtain the bomb.A report released last week by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says that Iran has begun installing next-generation equipment at one of its main nuclear plants in Natanz.In the wake of the reports, Netanyahu said on Wednesday that Iran “is continuing to defy the international community,” calling on the international community to intensify the sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will
meet President Shimon Peres Saturday evening and ask him for a two-week
extension in which to put together a coalition of parties and form a new
government.Peres will grant Netanyahu the two-week extension.If Netanyahu fails to cobble together a coalition within a fortnight,
however, he will be in serious trouble. Peres could decide to task
someone else with creating a coalition, or new elections could be
called.
We are, therefore, entering the "money time" of coalition crafting.The reports in two major news sources Friday that Netanyahu's representatives offered Yesh Atid a policy of destroying Jewish communities in return for their entry into the coalition without Bayit Yehudi, vindicate Bayit Yehudi's decision to enter into a tactical alliance with Yesh Atid. Together with reports that Likud made contradictory overtures to Bayit Yehudi, they portray Netanyahu in an unflattering light and are no cause for pride, for supporters of Likud / Yisrael Beytenu.Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett wrote on his Facebook page Friday: "While the Likud was explaining to us how important it is to abandon the connection with Lapid in order to strengthen the settlement enterprise, it was explaining to Lapid how important it is to abandon Bayit Yehudi in order to tear down the settlement enterprise."If readers sense some bitterness and disappointment between the lines, their senses are probably not misleading them.Likud's offers to Yesh Atid, if they indeed were made, vindicate Bennett's tactical move, to enter into a gentlemen's agreement with Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid. The two promised each other not to enter the coalition without each other.Yesh Atid is a center-left, largely secularist party, which placed the matter of hareidi men's enlistment to the military as a central plank in its agenda. The party contains a strong ultra-leftist contingent, but its leader, Lapid, is less of an ideologue and more mainstream than his more radical MKs.The hareidi enlistment issue is a favorite wedge issue of the Israeli left wing, because it splits the nationalist camp between hareidim and non-hareidim. The issue has, for decades, been seen as largely unsolvable, and governments have preferred to manage it rather than confront it head-on.What Naftali Bennett did was to make Lapid an offer he couldn't refuse. He would enable him to square the circle and force a true change as regards hareidi enlistment. For this, Bennett would be willing to weather the storm of accusations that he was "selling out" his hareidi brethren and joining a secularist to do so.In return, what Bennett has apparently received is a guarantee that the next coalition will not only include Bayit Yehudi but will also have to respect Bayit Yehudi's core principles, especially regarding the political and strategic issues that surround the settlement enterprise in Judea and Samaria.Bennett has been warning for months that Netanyahu is planning a leftist, defeatist government, based upon a coalition with hareidim and leftist parties, including Yesh Atid. Likud's reported overtures to Yesh Atid confirm that he was right. What Bennett appears to have achieved through his pact with Lapid is a realignment of Israeli politics: essentially, the center will stop leaning to the left on Judea and Samaria, while the religious Zionists side with the secular Zionists on key issues regarding the power and privileges of the non-Zionist hareidi stream.If the Bennett-Lapid pact holds up, this revolution will come close to turning into reality in a fortnight's time.
There is much gnashing of teeth on both sides of the political spectrum, meanwhile. Many in hareidi circles are understandably aghast at the developments. Some nationalists see Lapid as a sell-out just by virtue of the fact that he is letting Yesh Atid into the coalition. They do not trust Lapid and think he will bolt the coalition at the first opportunity, leaving the nationalist bloc splintered, perhaps permanently.On the left-wing, too, there is much apprehension. Channel 2's Rina Matzliach, whose leftist views are no secret, has incongruously become a great fan of the hareidi-Zionist Tekuma stream within Bayit Yehudi in the last week. She apparently hopes that MK Uri Ariel and other Tekuma MKs will split off from Bennett and prevent the Yesh Atid – Bayit Yehudi plan from being implemented. At this point, however, the pact between Bennett and Lapid appears strong.

United States officials have told Israel that if there is no new
government in place by March 16, President Barack Obama will not arrive
for his scheduled visit four days later, Channel 10 News reported on Thursday.According to the report, if Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu fails
to form a coalition by the aforementioned date, the Americans will say
that Obama’s visit is being postponed, but in essence the visit will be
cancelled. The U.S. ambassador to Israel has been making phone calls and
holding conversations with Israeli officials in recent days, trying to
figure out how the coalition talks are advancing, said the report.
The negotiations continued on Thursday, with Likud meeting Yesh Atid after several weeks during which the sides had not met, but no real progress was made that would enable Yesh Atid to join the coalition.
After the meeting, the Likud’s negotiator said that Yesh Atid had been adamant in its refusal to join a coalition with the hareidi-religious parties.“As far as Yesh Atid is concerned, there is no room for hareidim in the government,” the negotiator, David Shimron, said, adding the Likud planned to meet on Friday with the Bayit Yehudi to determine their stance on the issue.Yesh Atid and its head, Yair Lapid, are pushing for a radical program that will enlist all hareidi yeshiva students into the army. Lapid announced two weeks ago that when pictures of the new government are taken he does not plan to be photographed alongside Shas ministers, essentially rejecting joining a coalition with hareidi parties.Bayit Yehudi and Yesh Atid have made a pact, agreeing to enter the coalition together or not at all, in an apparent attempt by both parties to guarantee a coalition ally with similar goals. Bayit Yehudi chairman Naftali Bennett, while also wishing to enlist hareidim, has expressed a willingness to negotiate with them on the issue.Meanwhile, according to Thursday’s Channel 10 report, U.S. officials have indicated that they would be very interested in seeing Lapid being appointed to the position of Foreign Minister in the new government.The officials said that such a move will balance their concerns over a few other elements that are likely to be a part of the next government. While these elements were not named, this may have been a reference to Bennett, over whom the U.S. had expressed concern during the elections because of his stand against a Palestinian state.However, all reports have indicated that Netanyahu is planning to save the position of Foreign Minister to his number two, Avigdor Lieberman, until the end of his trial.

Bennett Vindicated as Coalition Crafting Enters Overtime
Analysis: Likud's behavior shows the reasoning behind Naftali Bennett's decision to enter into a pact with Yesh Atid was sound.

Britain to oppose EU bank bonus rules
Today @ 09:29 MARCH 1,13 By Benjamin Fox
BRUSSELS - Britain is to oppose new EU bank bonus rules when finance ministers meet in Brussels next week.The measures, which would cap the majority of bonuses at the same
level as salaries, form part of EU legislation increasing the level of
core capital banks must hold on their balance sheets.Prime Minister David Cameron's spokesperson said on Thursday (28
February) that EU rules should allow flexibility at national level,
claiming that Britain "has some of the toughest remuneration
requirements in the world."The warning came just hours after MEPs agreed to a deal brokered by the Irish presidency.London Mayor Boris Johnson, seen as a potential rival to Cameron for
the Conservative party leadership, described the bonus cap as "deluded"
ad "self-defeating".Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Austrian conservative MEP,
Othmar Karas, confirmed that the bonus rules would apply to all
employees of European banks whether they are based in or outside the EU.The Irish EU presidency will present the deal struck with MEPs in the
early hours of Thursday morning to EU finance ministers next Tuesday (5
March).The legislation will be adopted by a qualified majority vote, leaving Britain no opportunity to veto.The divisions raises the prospect of Britain being outvoted on major financial sector regulation for the first time.An EU source confirmed that Britain had raised its concerns on the bonus rules at ambassador level on Thursday."It is not a foregone conclusion what will happen next," an EU official told EUobserver..The UK government is anxious to defend the City of London, Europe's largest financial sector hub.In December 2011 Cameron lobbied unsuccessfully for exemptions from
EU financial regulation in return for supporting the fiscal compact
treaty.Earlier, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and economic
affairs commissioner Olli Rehn, warned Britain not to isolate itself
from the rest of Europe.But Philippe Lamberts, who led negotiations on the bank law on behalf
of the Green group, said it would be "wrong to portray this as Europe
vs Britain."For their part, British MEPs representing the two sides of Britain's Conservative/Liberal coalition endorsed the deal.Sharon Bowles, a UK Liberal Democrat, and the chair of parliament's
economic committee, said that parliament was "leading the world" in the
field of financial sector regulation.Bowles sought to shift attention away from the new bonus rules to other aspects of the bill.A combination of over leveraging by banks combined with a collapse in
liquidity when the money markets seized up are widely seen as major
causes of the 2007-9 financial crisis.In addition to the bonus and capital rules, the legislation also includes provisions to increase banking transparency.Country-by-country reporting would require banks to publish its
profits, turnover and tax payment on an individual country basis. The
reporting could start as soon as 2015 unless the Commission deems that
it would undermine the competitiveness of EU banks.Commission officials have indicated that the regime would be similar
to the reporting standards for the extractive and oil industries
included in the draft accounting directive, which is currently being
negotiated by MEPs and ministers.There are also additional capital requirements for the so-called "too big to fail" banks.The rules on capital, leverage, liquidity are in the regulation, with
no flexibility regarding the implementation at national level.The EU's 8,000 banks would be required to hold at last 8 percent of top rated capital on their balance sheets.Meanwhile, the Brussels-based NGO Finance Watch gave a mixed reaction to the agreement.Speaking with this website, analyst Frederic Hache described it as
"one of the key pieces of the jigsaw" of financial regulation.However, he added that the failure to agree on a leverage cap was "a
significant setback" and that the implementation of capital rules gave
"too much discretion to be credible to shareholders and to restore trust
in banks' solvency."
EU proposes tighter border control bill
28.02.13 @ 21:29 By Nikolaj Nielsen
BRUSSELS - People travelling into
Europe who overstay their visa, even for legitimate reasons such as
unforeseen hospital stays or transport delays, could face automatic
sanctions and fines, under new rules unveiled on Thursday (28 February).The proposal is part of a larger "smart borders" package presented by
the European Commission designed to make foreign travel into the
Union’s borderless zone easier, increase border security and prevent
irregular migration.“There are of course legitimate reasons for an overstay and it is not
for me or the commission to judge about that. The system will give an
alert to the Dutch or the Slovene or the Polish authorities and then it
will be up to them to follow up,” EU home affairs commissioner Cecilia
Malmstrom told reporters in Brussels.EU sources say the person will need to inform national authorities in advance in case of an unforeseen visa-breach.They can also make their case directly to border guards at any one of the EU's 1,800 external border crossing points.Each member state will determine the amount of the fine or the severity of the sanction.German Green MEP Ska Keller told this website that the commission’s
proposal focuses on irregular migrants as overstayers and neglects those
who may have legitimate reasons.
“It does not at all take into account the different circumstances, we just might have another Iceland volcano and a lot of people will be overstaying involuntarily,” said Keller.Malmstrom’s system is a centralised database that will be designed and managed by the Strasbourg-based agency for large-scale IT systems, EU-Lisa, to the tune of €1.1 billion. The system should be up and running by 2018 at the latest.Some experts believe the real amount will be far greater.The database will hold the same personal details and visa information as passports, such as names, type and number of travel documents, and date and time of entry.
Once launched, the database will three years later register biometric data like fingerprints. The three-year delay is to give all member states sufficient time to install systems to process fingerprints.Access is, for the moment, limited to border control and immigration purposes to prevent irregular migration.But Mathias Vermeulen, a research fellow at the European University Institute in Italy, who drafted a 2012 report on EU border surveillance with the London-based civil liberties group Statewatch, noted that most irregular migrants do not cross into the EU by legitimate means.“Most of the people who enter the EU illegally do so without formally crossing any form of border point and without presenting any papers in the first place,” said Vermeulen.The EU-border patrol agency Frontex may use anonymised data for research purposes.
Access by the EU police agency Europol is off-limits but the commission said it plans on revising the limitation in the future.“Access for other purposes like fighting crime at this time is excluded but we will come back to that at a later date,” said an EU source.
To sign up, an individual will need to apply, as usual, for a multiple-entry visa at the member state consulate in his or her home country. He may also, at the same time, request an RTP for a €20 fee.If accepted, he will need to hand over the standard ID checks and documents as well as four fingerprints. The consulate administrator then feeds the data into the Strasbourg database. The RTP token is valid for five years.
When the person arrives at an automatic gate at an EU-based airport, he will need to swipe his passport, scan his visa, his token and his fingertips. If everything checks out, the gates open.EU sources say they expect up to 5 million RTP applications per year.The second proposal is the entry-exit system (EES) regulation.Anyone who does not opt for the RTP procedure will be processed under the EES.
Unlike the RTP, the EES requires 10 fingerprints to ensure they give positive hits years later should the individual decide to never leave the Union.The data is stored up to six months in ordinary cases and up to five years for overstayers.“All non-EU travellers would be effectively treated as suspected criminals, with their fingerprints to be collected not just every time they enter and exit the EU, but also when they cross identity controls by police within the EU,” said Keller.

The IDF Spokesman, Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, rejected on Friday statements about an "intifada" that has supposedly broken out in Judea and Samaria."For the past few weeks, I
have been hearing declarations about an intifada that has supposedly
broken out in Judea and Samaria," he wrote in a Facebook status."The power of prophesy was given to fools, and I do not know what the new day will bring," he added. "But aren't some responsibility and caution required when making premature declarations of an intifada?"IDF Chief of Staff. Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, also called Thursday "to put things into proportion," as regards the violence in Judea and Samaria.
But they impose a new burden on a budget that had largely been devoted to the rapid modernization of military hardware including big orders for new warships, submarines, strike aircraft and missiles.
Beijing last year announced a 11.2 per cent increase in military spending to $106 billion.However foreign military analysts say much of China's military spending is not included in the published budget.
The Pentagon last year estimated that Beijing's real outlays for 2012 would be between $120 billion and $180 billion.China's spending is now second only to the United States although the Pentagon is bracing for a sharp drop in outlays as part of government-wide budget cuts, known as a sequester, starting from March 1.
However, China has its own budget woes as senior political and military officials complain of rampant corruption and waste in its 2.3 billion-strong People's Liberation Army (PLA).The PLA headquarters has issued new rules to tighten spending across a range of areas including construction, procurement, conferences and receptions in a bid to curb waste and corruption, the official Xinhua news agency reported this week.The new rules, approved by Xi Jinping, China's Communist party leader and chairman of the Central Military Commission, were also intended to redirect spending toward combat readiness, high-technology weaponry and training, Xinhua said.(Editing by Raju Gopalakrishnan)

The package
The "smart borders" package includes two proposals.People who make frequent trips to the EU, for business, research, or pleasure will have an option to voluntarily sign up to a registered travellers programme (RTP).The RTP gives the traveller a token that will allow him or her to walk through automatic gates with less hold up. The system removes the border control agent and his or her passport will no longer be stamped.To sign up, an individual will need to apply, as usual, for a multiple-entry visa at the member state consulate in his or her home country. He may also, at the same time, request an RTP for a €20 fee.If accepted, he will need to hand over the standard ID checks and documents as well as four fingerprints.

China defense spending seen rising as territorial rows deepen
By David Lague and Terril Yue Jones | Reuters – 1 hr 35 mins ago MAR 1,13
(Reuters) - A series of territorial disputes with its neighbors will ensure China boosts defense spending when it reveals this year's military budget ahead of the annual parliamentary sitting next week, security experts say.
After almost three
decades of sharply increased military outlays, an increasingly assertive
China now has the firepower to challenge rivals claiming strategically
important and resource-rich territory in the East China and South China seas.The Chinese navy, now second in size only to the U.S.
fleet in terms of raw numbers, has become a genuine blue-water force and
is conducting almost continuous patrols and exercises in these
contested waters.Over the past six months, China's stand-off with Japan over a series of rocky islands in the East China Sea known as the Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China has become more acrimonious.
Beijing
is also in dispute with the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as Taiwan,
Brunei and Malaysia, over territory in the South China Sea.To pay for these deployments and new hardware in the
pipeline, most analysts expect that this year's budget will continue the
long-term trend of double-digit percentage increases in annual
spending."Estimates are still for steady growth," said Ni
Lexiong, a military expert at Shanghai University of Political Science
and Law."With China's current attitude, it's not going to let itself get bullied by anyone."Alongside missions to assert sovereignty over disputed
territory, the Chinese navy is also deploying naval flotillas to the
Gulf of Aden and waters off Somalia as part of its contribution to
UN-authorized anti-piracy operations in the Indian Ocean.Beijing last month announced the departure of the 14th of these missions since December 2008.These high-tempo operations are a sharp departure for a
military that was largely confined to exercises and training within
China's land borders and coastal waters until recent years.But they impose a new burden on a budget that had largely been devoted to the rapid modernization of military hardware including big orders for new warships, submarines, strike aircraft and missiles.
Beijing last year announced a 11.2 per cent increase in military spending to $106 billion.However foreign military analysts say much of China's military spending is not included in the published budget.
