IRAN SHOWS OFF NEW MISSLE

STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Subtropical storm forms in open Atlantic Sun Sep 23, 5:04 PM ET

MIAMI - Subtropical Storm Jerry formed Sunday in the Atlantic Ocean but posed no immediate threat to land, the National Hurricane Center said. As of 5 p.m., Jerry was located about 1,060 miles west of the Azores, with top sustained winds near 40 mph.Forecasters said the storm was moving north around 6 mph and is expected to remain over open waters, far west of the Azores.Subtropical storms are hybrid systems that get energy from warm waters like tropical ones, but also from colliding warm and cold air masses like more common storms over land.Jerry is the 10th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. Its winds extended outward about 105 miles.

In the Pacific, Ivo was downgraded from a tropical storm to a depression early Sunday, the Hurricane Center said.At 2 p.m. EDT, the center of Ivo was about 95 miles southwest of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula and moving east-northeast at 4 mph.The depression — which had maximum sustained winds of 30 mph — is expected to pass over or near the southern tip of Baja near the resort cities of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, a region that was hit early this month by Hurricane Henriette. Rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is forecast for the area.

Rising seas likely to flood U.S. history By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer Sun Sep 23, 6:39 PM ET

Ultimately, rising seas will likely swamp the first American settlement in Jamestown, Va., as well as the Florida launch pad that sent the first American into orbit, many climate scientists are predicting. In about a century, some of the places that make America what it is may be slowly erased.Global warming — through a combination of melting glaciers, disappearing ice sheets and warmer waters expanding — is expected to cause oceans to rise by one meter, or about 39 inches. It will happen regardless of any future actions to curb greenhouse gases, several leading scientists say. And it will reshape the nation.Rising waters will lap at the foundations of old money Wall Street and the new money towers of Silicon Valley. They will swamp the locations of big city airports and major interstate highways.

Storm surges worsened by sea level rise will flood the waterfront getaways of rich politicians — the Bushes' Kennebunkport and John Edwards' place on the Outer Banks. And gone will be many of the beaches in Texas and Florida favored by budget-conscious students on Spring Break.That's the troubling outlook projected by coastal maps reviewed by The Associated Press. The maps, created by scientists at the University of Arizona, are based on data from the U.S. Geological Survey.Few of the more than two dozen climate experts interviewed disagree with the one-meter projection. Some believe it could happen in 50 years, others say 100, and still others say 150.Sea level rise is the thing that I'm most concerned about as a scientist, says Benjamin Santer, a climate physicist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.We're going to get a meter and there's nothing we can do about it, said University of Victoria climatologist Andrew Weaver, a lead author of the February report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in Paris. It's going to happen no matter what — the question is when.

Sea level rise has consequences about where people live and what they care about, said Donald Boesch, a University of Maryland scientist who has studied the issue. We're going to be into this big national debate about what we protect and at what cost.This week, beginning with a meeting at the United Nations on Monday, world leaders will convene to talk about fighting global warming. At week's end, leaders will gather in Washington with President Bush.Experts say that protecting America's coastlines would run well into the billions and not all spots could be saved.And it's not just a rising ocean that is the problem. With it comes an even greater danger of storm surge, from hurricanes, winter storms and regular coastal storms, Boesch said. Sea level rise means higher and more frequent flooding from these extreme events, he said.All told, one meter of sea level rise in just the lower 48 states would put about 25,000 square miles under water, according to Jonathan Overpeck, director of the Institute for the Study of Planet Earth at the University of Arizona. That's an area the size of West Virginia.

The amount of lost land is even greater when Hawaii and Alaska are included, Overpeck said.

The Environmental Protection Agency's calculation projects a land loss of about 22,000 square miles. The EPA, which studied only the Eastern and Gulf coasts, found that Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina, Texas and South Carolina would lose the most land. But even inland areas like Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia also have slivers of at-risk land, according to the EPA.This past summer's flooding of subways in New York could become far more regular, even an everyday occurrence, with the projected sea rise, other scientists said. And New Orleans' Katrina experience and the daily loss of Louisiana wetlands — which serve as a barrier that weakens hurricanes — are previews of what's to come there.Florida faces a serious public health risk from rising salt water tainting drinking water wells, said Joel Scheraga, the EPA's director of global change research. And the farm-rich San Joaquin Delta in California faces serious salt water flooding problems, other experts said. Sea level rise is going to have more general impact to the population and the infrastructure than almost anything else that I can think of, said S. Jeffress Williams, a U.S. Geological Survey coastal geologist in Woods Hole, Mass.

Even John Christy at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, a scientist often quoted by global warming skeptics, said he figures the seas will rise at least 16 inches by the end of the century. But he tells people to prepare for a rise of about three feet just in case. Williams says it's not unreasonable at all to expect that much in 100 years. We've had a third of a meter in the last century.The change will be a gradual process, one that is so slow it will be easy to ignore for a while. It's like sticking your finger in a pot of water on a burner and you turn the heat on, Williams said. You kind of get used to it.

Brussels raps Spain over Endesa SEPT 22,07

Spain has 30 days to respond to the allegations regarding Endesa

Spain broke EU law by imposing terms on the purchase of energy company Endesa by peers Enel of Italy and Spain's Acciona, the European Commission says. In a preliminary finding Brussels said it believed Madrid broke takeover laws when it imposed protectionist terms. Spain's energy commission had wanted to intervene if it believed the new owners of the firm were not acting in the best interests of Spanish energy users. The Commission approved the 42.5bn euro ($60bn; £30bn) deal on 5 July.

It also said it had sole jurisdiction over the deal.

But Spain's National Energy Commission had imposed conditions on 26 April and 4 July, breaching the buyers' rights. The European Commission said its preliminary view was the Spanish energy commission, CNE, violated the companies' rights to invest, set up a business and move goods anywhere in the 27-state community. Spain has 30 days to defend itself before the EU takes a final decision that would overrule Spanish decisions. Enel's deal with Acciona for Endesa expires on 1 October. A rival bid by German firm E.On collapsed in April.

Iran shows off new missile, taunts Israel by Stuart Williams
Sat Sep 22, 8:06 AM ET

TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran on Saturday showed off a longer-range missile in public for the first time and proclaimed a string of anti-Israel slogans, in a military parade held amid warnings of conflict with the West. The missile -- labelled Ghadr-1 (Power) -- was said to be in development by Western experts, but its appearance at the annual military parade to mark the start of Iran's 1980-1988 war with Iraq was its first public showing.The official announcer at the parade told reporters that the weapon had a range of 1,800 kilometres (1,100 miles), sufficient to put US bases in the Middle East and Iran's arch enemy Israel within reach.The Iranian nation is ready to bring any oppressive power to its knees, read a slogan from supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei inscribed on a massive board on a truck.

The head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, Mohammad Jaafari, warned bluntly: My message to the enemy is that they will regret it (an attack). Do not do it.The Ghadr missile, which has a baby bottle style nose for extra aerodynamic efficiency, is seen as an improved version of Iran's existing longer-range Shahab series, which was also paraded.Officials have said in the past that the Shahab-3 could reach 2,000 kilometres (1,250 miles), but the announcer said it had a 1,300-kilometre (800-mile) range.The parade was marked by a litany of slogans calling for Death to America and Death to Israel. Western military attaches, apparently warned of this in advance, boycotted the rally for the second year running.The Western attaches did not come. It was because of the slogans about Israel and the United States, said one foreign representative who declined to be named.Israel should be eliminated and No Iranian Muslim, no Muslim recognises Israel, were among the slogans borne on the back of military vehicles, quoting the words of Iran's revolutionary founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.Israel has to be wiped off the map, read another Khomeini quote which aroused worldwide controversy when it was repeated by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2005.The parade came amid growing tensions over Iran's nuclear programme, which the United States alleges is cover for a nuclear weapons drive but which Tehran insists is aimed solely at producing electricity.French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner has warned that the world should brace for war against Tehran if it keeps defying the UN Security Council by pressing on with sensitive nuclear work.

Iran's military, especially its air force, has been hit by the US trade embargo, and General Jaafari admitted that the Islamic republic would need to outsmart its enemies using means other than technology.Their material capabilities are better than us, everyone knows it and we admit it. We are responding to technology not with technology but with special methods and tactics, he told reporters.Officials said that only weapons built by Iran were shown at the parade, in a bid to emphasise the country's self-sufficiency in military technology.President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad meanwhile said in a speech that warnings of military action and further UN sanctions would have no effect on Tehran's nuclear drive.Those who think that with outmoded instruments like psychological warfare and economic sanctions they can stop Iran's march towards progress are making a grave mistake, Ahmadinejad said. The full panoply of Iran's armed forces were on display, with thousands of goose-stepping members of the regular army and the Revolutionary Guards saluting Ahmadinejad and top military leaders in a march-past. The United States and its ally Israel have never ruled out using military action against Iran for its defiance in the nuclear standoff. Iran has said it will never initiate an attack, but has warned of striking US bases in the Arabian peninsula, Iraq and Afghanistan -- as well as Israel itself -- as a response to any aggression.

Iran warns West against attack By Hossein Jaseb and Fredrik Dahl
Sat Sep 22, 8:49 AM ET

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran told Western powers on Saturday they would regret any attack over Tehran's nuclear activities and it rolled out a display of missiles and other military hardware to back the warning. Our message to the enemies is: Do not do it, the head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, Mohammad Ali Jafari, said, speaking to reporters less than a week after France's foreign minister publicly raised the prospect of war.They will regret it, as they are regretting it in Iraq, the commander added, speaking on the sidelines of an annual military parade just outside the capital.The Islamic Republic put on show medium-range missiles it has said could reach Israel and U.S. bases in the Gulf at the parade marking the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war.Three Saegheh jet fighters, a new generation of domestically produced, flew overhead.Iran is embroiled in a standoff with the West over its atomic ambition, which the United States says is to make bombs but which Tehran says is solely for generating electricity.Washington has said it wants a diplomatic resolution to the dispute but has not ruled out military action if that fails.French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner last Sunday raised the specter of war, but has since backed away from the comment.Iran, the world's fourth-largest oil producer, has threatened to hit back at regional U.S. interests if attacked.

U.N. SANCTIONS

Jafari's words of defiance came a day after major powers, meeting in Washington, said they had serious and constructive talks about new U.N. Security Council sanctions aimed at trying to force Iran to halt its sensitive nuclear program.The officials of the five permanent Security Council members and Germany said they will keep pursuing a dual track approach to Iran -- trying to persuade it to abandon such activities via negotiations while considering new sanctions.Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, addressing the parade, made clear Tehran would not bow to Western pressure.Those who think, that by using such decayed tools as psychological warfare and economic sanctions, they can stop the Iranian nation's progress are making a mistake, he said.The Islamic Republic showed among its weaponry a type of missile it has said could reach 2,000 km (1,250 miles) -- enabling it to hit Israel and U.S. bases in the region.But the television commentator said Shahab-3 had a range of 1,300 km (812 miles). Another missile at the parade, Ghadr-1, can reach targets 1,800 km (1,125 miles) away, he said. It was believed to be the first time it has been shown publicly.Troops, tanks and anti-aircraft guns passed in front of the podium. One truck carried the words Death to America.Parachutists dropped from a helicopter over the parade area near the tomb of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the inspiration of the 1979 Islamic revolution and founder of the Islamic Republic.
Asked how Iran would respond if any country allowed its territory to be used as a base for an attack, Jafari said: You have seen the missiles -- just pull the trigger and shoot.

U.S. says Iran sending missiles to Iraq By SAMEER N. YACOUB, Associated Press Writer SEPT 23,07

BAGHDAD - The U.S. military accused Iran on Sunday of smuggling surface-to-air missiles and other advanced weapons into Iraq for use against American troops. The new allegations came as Iraqi leaders condemned the latest U.S. detention of an Iranian in northern Iraq, saying the man was in their country on official business.
Military spokesman Rear Adm. Mark Fox said U.S. troops were continuing to find Iranian-supplied weaponry including the Misagh 1, a portable surface-to-air missile that uses an infrared guidance system.Other advanced Iranian weaponry found in Iraq includes the RPG-29 rocket-propelled grenade, 240 mm rockets and armor-piercing roadside bombs known as explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, Fox said.An American soldier was killed Saturday and another wounded when an EFP hit their patrol in eastern Baghdad, the military said.Iran has denied U.S. allegations that it is smuggling weapons to Shiite militias in Iraq, a denial that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reiterated in an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes aired Sunday.

We don't need to do that. We are very much opposed to war and insecurity, said Ahmadinejad, who arrived in New York Sunday to attend the U.N. General Assembly. The insecurity in Iraq is detrimental to our interests.Tensions between Iran and the United States have worried Iraqi officials — many of whom are members of political parties with close ties to Tehran.A 240 mm rocket was fired this month at the main U.S. headquarters base in Iraq, killing one person and wounding 11.U.S. officials said the rocket was fired from a west Baghdad neighborhood controlled by Shiite militiamen.On Thursday, U.S. troops arrested an Iranian in the Kurdish city of Sulaimaniyah. U.S. officials said he was a member of the elite Quds force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards that smuggles weapons into Iraq.Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki condemned the Iranian's arrest, saying he understood the man, who has been identified as Mahmudi Farhadi, had been invited to Iraq.The government of Iraq is an elected one and sovereign. When it gives a visa, it is responsible for the visa, he told The Associated Press in an interview in New York. We consider the arrest ... of this individual who holds an Iraqi visa and a (valid) passport to be unacceptable.

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, also demanded the Iranian's release.

The U.S. military said the suspect was being questioned about his knowledge of, and involvement in, the transportation of EFPs and other roadside bombs from Iran into Iraq and his facilitation of travel and training in Iran for Iraqi insurgents. The military said no decision had been made about whether to file charges.Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said Farhadi was in charge of border transactions in western Iran and went to Iraq on an official invitation.He said Iran expects the Iraqi government to provide security for Iranian nationals there and warned the arrest could affect relations between the two neighbors as well.
Iraqi authorities, meanwhile, said a shipment of chlorine had crossed the border from Jordan after concerns were raised about shortages of the chemical needed to prevent an outbreak of cholera from spreading.Officials said earlier that as much as 100,000 tons of chlorine was being held up at the border for fear it would be hijacked and used in explosives. Several chlorine truck bombs blamed on suspected Sunni insurgents earlier this year killed scores of people. Naeem al-Qabi, the deputy chief of Baghdad's municipal council, said warehouses in the capital were preparing to accept the chlorine, which would help purify water supplies.

There is some administrative work needed to be done and it will be finished very soon, al-Qabi said. Iraq now has a total of 1,652 confirmed cases of cholera after three new cases were confirmed in Salahuddin province, according to an update on the World Health Organization's Web site on Sunday. Earlier, cholera was confirmed in the provinces of Sulaimaniyah, Tamim and Irbil, as well as a case each in Baghdad and in Basra. As the weather cools and becomes more favorable for transmission, the organism is expected to spread to other provinces, the WHO's country office in Iraq said on its Web site. Cholera is endemic to Iraq, with about 30 cases registered each year. The last major outbreak was in 1999, when 20 cases were discovered in one day. Also Sunday, Iraq's minister of state for national security, Sherwan al-Waili, took over the security operations center in Basra as tensions rose in the southern city following the assassination of a local representative of Iraq's top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. The region has been rocked by violence between rival Shiite militias linked to political parties, raising concerns about security as the British military has pulled back its troops from the city center to a nearby airport to allow Iraqi security forces to take over. Al-Waili told reporters that he will temporarily head the operations center until a new security plan is implemented very soon in the city, 340 miles southeast of Baghdad.

This Week with Rabbi Eckstein
September 21, 2007
Dear Friend of The Fellowship,

For years, it has been obvious that Iran is a chief source of Middle East instability and a grave threat to Israel. Iran funds Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon and supports terrorists killing U.S. troops in Iraq, as well as the Hamas regime that has turned Gaza into a Muslim fundamentalist state.Anti-Israel, anti-Western statements from Iran are becoming more and more ominous. Earlier this week, an Iranian news website affiliated with the regime reported, Iran will shoot 600 missiles at Israel if it is attacked, and promised that U.S. Army bases and troops throughout the Middle East are also targeted.At the same time, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ratcheted up the warlike rhetoric that has become his hallmark. Recently he called Israel Satan’s standard-bearer and promised the use of Iranian nuclear technology to any nation or group willing to confront the U.S. and the West. This volatile combination of hatred, poisonous religious fanaticism, and the pursuit of weapons of mass destruction points to the central question facing peace-loving nations at this critical time in history: Does the free world have the option of waiting to find out whether Ahmadinejad is willing and able to carry out his threats?

Incredibly, despite Iran’s deliberate and well-documented attempts to create chaos, fear and instability, Ahmadinejad will speak before the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York next week. It is especially outrageous that the president of a nation who has openly called for the destruction of another U.N. member state will be welcomed to speak before an organization that claims one of its goals is to encourage nations “to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbors.” Clearly, tolerance and peaceful coexistence are not on Iran’s agenda.Ahmadinejad has spoken at the U.N. twice before, and on each occasion thousands of people have gathered there to protest his hateful stance against Israel and the West. There will be a rally again on Monday, and if you are in the New York area, I strongly encourage you to attend.If you cannot come to the rally, we have made it easy for your voice to be heard. I strongly encourage you to send a message to Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the United Nations, telling him that, until Iran disavows its hateful ideology, its representatives should not be allowed to speak before any gathering of civilized nations. Now is not a time to be silent! I invite you to take our action alert and send your message today.

With prayers for shalom, peace,
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

REBUILT 3RD TEMPLE

Israeli archeologists ordered out of court hearing
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS

A group of Israeli archeologists and public officials who petitioned the High Court of Justice against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and the Antiquities Authority over ongoing Wakf infrastructure work on the Temple Mount were ordered out of the courtroom during a hearing Thursday, an archeologist said. The members of the nonpartisan Committee Against the Destruction of Antiquities on the Temple Mount had to leave the courtroom while the state-run archeological body presented secret evidence to the court. It is more than clear that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has instructed the Antiquities Authority to cooperate with the Wakf and conceal the damage to antiquities being done during the infrastructure work at the site, said Hebrew University archeologist and leading Temple Mount expert Dr. Eilat Mazar.

The two-month old dig on the Temple Mount is being carried out by Islamic officials with Israeli approval as part of infrastructure work to repair faulty electrical lines on the ancient compound. The independent Israeli archeologists say that the dig, which is being carried out with tractors and other heavy construction machinery, has created a 400-meter long and 1.5 meter deep trench, destroying several layers of ancient remains on the Temple Mount.

Israel to fulfill Biblical prophecy?
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow.com - September 21, 2007

The head of a pro-Israel ministry says that recent air strikes, by Israel on Syria, could possibly mean the soon fulfillment of an Old Testament prophecy about Damascus.

She has read the reports about the September 6 strike by Israeli jets on what is believed to have been a substantial target inside Syria, even though both the Syrians and the Israelis are not divulging any details of the attack.Markell says she wonders about the prophetic words in Isaiah 17:1, Damascus is to be leveled to become a ruinous heap. Not anything can live in it again. Now that's never happened, she says.

She says with Syria trying to obtain nuclear weapons, the words of Isaiah 17:1 loom even larger. If Syria ever lobs any kind of a nuke into Israel, I believe Israel will respond in kind and depending on the seriousness of the whole situation could fulfill Isaiah 17:1, the complete destruction of Damascus, she states. According to Markell, Damascus is one of the oldest cities in the world and has never experienced complete destruction. However, she believes that we are living in the end-times, so the prophecy against Damascus could soon come to pass.American Family News Network.

I KNOW WHY NATO IS BACKING OFF FROM ITS RAPID REACTION FORCE ITS BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THE EU WILL HAVE A RAPID REACTION FORCE THATS WHY?

NATO backs off plan for a rapid-response force
Officials cite a shortage of troops, money
By Judy Dempsey, International Herald Tribune

BERLIN - NATO is backing away from establishing a combat force that would be capable of moving rapidly into conflict areas because it lacks the money, the troops and the equipment, officials said yesterday.NATO's decision to rethink the so-called Response Force is a blow for the 26-member alliance, which was seeking a way to alter a cumbersome and reactive organization of the Cold War era to field flexible units capable of being deployed within days to carry out a range of operations, including counter-terrorism.While NATO has changed significantly in recent years - seen in its involvement in combat in Afghanistan, for example - the way missions are financed and military equipment is procured has lagged.Moreover, analysts said, the future of the Response Force could send a signal to the European Union, which is establishing its own battle groups - units of about 1,500 troops that could be sent to a conflict zone within 10 days.

We are having trouble generating forces for all the missions that NATO, the EU, the UN and others need for missions around the world, said James Appathurai, the alliance's spokesman. The scope and size of the NATO response force would be reassessed, he said.First proposed by Donald Rumsfeld in 2002, when he was the US defense secretary, the NATO Response Force was to consist of 25,000 soldiers serving on six-month rotations. Groups of countries would commit land, air, naval, or special forces for this duration.But some member states began to complain that the burden was too heavy and too costly because their own forces were assigned to the NATO missions in Afghanistan and Kosovo; the US-led coalition in Iraq; and the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon.

Tomas Valasek, a defense specialist at the Center for European Reform, a research institute in London, said: NATO has a problem that affects the EU as well. There are simply not enough troops. NATO is asking member states to sign up to the Response Force at a time when more troops are needed for Afghanistan. NATO has hit a ceiling. The Response Force is a luxury member states cannot afford.The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has sent 40,000 soldiers to Afghanistan and 17,000 are still in Kosovo, nine years after the alliance deployed troops to the Serbian province. (NATO air forces bombed Serbia to stop Slobodan Milosevic's ethnic cleansing of Albanians in Kosovo.)Alliance officials said the Response Force lacked attack helicopters and heavy air transport. A mission needs logistics, transport, field hospitals, and at least treble the number of forces because the soldiers have to be rotated, a NATO official said.

The shortcomings are almost identical in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.That remains the case despite repeated calls by the NATO secretary general, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, for alliance nations to send more troops and equipment, particularly to the south of the country, where NATO is engaged in heavy fighting with Taliban and Al Qaeda insurgents.The alliance also has had problems financing the Response Force and other missions. A NATO country that sends troops to an international peacekeeping force is obliged to pay for the troops under the system of costs lie where they fall. That is a heavy burden for countries that contribute large numbers of troops. Britain, Canada, and the Netherlands, for example, have sent the most soldiers to southern Afghanistan.De Hoop Scheffer has tried to change way such missions are financed: All nations, he suggests, should pay even if they did not send troops. Progress has been very slow, NATO diplomats said.
NATO should reform the way operations are financed, Valasek said. There should be much more common funding.

Arab nations invited to peace conference By MATTHEW LEE, Associated Press Writer SEPT 23,07

UNITED NATIONS - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday that key Arab nations, including Syria, would be invited to President Bush's planned Mideast peace conference this fall and expressed hope they would attend. Formal invitations haven't been issued yet but Rice said it would be natural for Syria, Saudi Arabia and 10 other Arab League members looking at a broad peace deal with Israel to participate despite their hostility to the Jewish state.It is very important that the regional players of the international community mobilize to support them, she said, referring to the Israelis and the Palestinians.But, she said their attendance would have to reflect acceptance of international efforts to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and support for the ultimate goal of a two-state solution and comprehensive regional peace agreement.We would hope that the invitations would include the members of the Arab follow-up committee, Rice told a news conference here after a meeting of the international diplomatic Quartet on the Middle East — the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia.Aside from the Palestinians and Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa, the committee members are Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen.Only two of the countries, Egypt and Jordan, have peace deals with Israel and some, notably Syria, remain technically at war with the Jewish state. Earlier this month, Israel is alleged to have launched an airstrike on what some reports have said was a North Korean nuclear facility in Syria.

The United States has long been concerned about Syrian development of weapons of mass destruction and has harshly criticized Syria for its consistent anti-Israel stance, support for Palestinian militants and its role in Lebanon where Damascus is accused of interference.Rice did not speak to the appropriateness of inviting Syria to the as-yet unscheduled conference that Bush announced plans for in July and is expected to be held in Washington in November. She said that attendance has to be a commitment to supporting a two-state solution and agreement that the chance to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one that we should not miss.Many Arab states have said they see no use for Bush's conference unless it has clear goals and a realistic chance of meeting them. A senior U.S. official said Rice thought she could allay those fears in her talks on Sunday.

Still, there was no immediate reaction from Syria.

And, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal was noncommittal about attending the conference after seeing Rice at her hotel before the Quartet meeting.The Palestinians want the conference to produce an outline for a peace deal; the Israelis want more vague declarations.Rice was in the Middle East last week and plans to return to the region soon to continue the planning for the conference.Her visit coincided with Israel's decision to declare the Gaza Strip, which the radical Hamas movement seized in June, as hostile territory. That designation dealt a potential blow to efforts to bolster moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who now runs only the West Bank.She conceded Sunday that the road ahead is one that is very difficult. But she added: There is a lot of commitment and hopefully this time we'll succeed.In addition to the Israelis, Palestinians and the Arab League committee, those to be invited to the U.S.-hosted conference will include the Quartet members and other major international players and donors, possibly including Japan, officials said.The Quartet's special representative, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, gave his backing to the conference, saying it would be a crucial element in taking advantage of what he said was growing momentum in the peace process. As a group the Quartet representatives — Rice, Blair, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Portuguese Foreign Minister Luis Amado, E.U. foreign policy chief Javier Solana and E.U. foreign affairs commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner — echoed that sentiment. The Quartet will work for a successful international meeting and for the implementation of its conclusions, they said in a statement. Sunday's meeting set the stage for meetings Bush will have in New York on Monday with Blair, Abbas and Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.

World markets still affected by fear: Greenspan Sun Sep 23, 4:26 PM ET

PARIS (Reuters) - Fear is still affecting world financial markets, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said in an interview released on Sunday in which he also backed France's candidate to head the IMF. Greenspan told newspaper Le Figaro that the current financial market turmoil bore many of the hallmarks of the 1997-1998 crisis in Asian and Russian markets, and said the current difficulties were not yet over.I have graphs dating back to 1997-1998. The products are different but the curves are the same, Greenspan said in an interview due to be published on Monday.
Fear dissipates when price uncertainty diminishes, that is to say when the spread between the sale price and the purchase price of securities falls and stabilizes. We're not there yet, Greenspan said.The current global credit crunch began in the U.S. subprime mortgage sector, where home loans made to borrowers with poor credit records were repackaged and sold on around the world as asset backed securities to institutional investors, including hedge funds.

Central banks have pumped liquidity into money markets to prevent them seizing up.

On the International Monetary Fund, Greenspan said the organization had to adapt to changed circumstances and that Frenchman Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a former Socialist finance minister, would be a good candidate to run the fund.The IMF has to rethink its mission. Dominique Strauss-Kahn is perfectly well equipped to understand the type of sensitive reforms that must be put in place, he told Le Figaro.Strauss-Kahn, the top contender for the job, will likely be named the next IMF managing director after he was endorsed on Wednesday by the United States.Former Czech central banker Josef Tosovsky, nominated by Russia, is considered a challenge to the custom of Western Europe appointing the head of the global lender.(Reporting by Jon Boyle)

Quartet rallies behind US call for Israeli-Palestinian parley by Sylvie Lanteaume SEPT 23,07

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - The Middle East diplomatic Quartet on Sunday rallied behind the US call for an international peace conference later this year to set out the contours of a future Palestinian state. After a two-hour meeting here, the four peace sponsors -- The United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations -- expressed backing for the international conference which Washington hopes to host later this year.The Quartet will work for a successful international meeting and for the implementation of its conclusions, a joint statement issued at the end of the meeting said.The talks brought together UN chief Ban Ki-moon, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and British former prime minister Tony Blair.Blair delivered his first report to the Quartet since he was named the grouping's special envoy in June.
Things are moving again, said Blair who has been tasked by the Quartet to help the Palestinians create stable institutions to underpin a viable state. There's a good deal of momentum, Rice chimed in, speaking of a very firm commitment by key players and of a lot of goodwill among fellow Quartet members and Arab leaders.

The Quartet issued a roadmap for achieving Israeli-Palestinian peace in 2003, but the three-stage plan that should have led to the creation of a Palestinian state by 2005 has since languished.Earlier Sunday, the United States dropped a bombshell by announcing plans to invite Syria to the planned international peace talks.The conference, proposed by US President George W. Bush, would also draw in neighboring states, major powers and members of the Arab League follow-up committee and other key international players.We have not issued invitations as such but it is only natural that we would hope that the participants would include the members of the Arab follow-up, Rice told reporters.The Arab League committee includes Jordan, Egypt -- the only two Arab states to have signed a peace treaty with Israel -- as well as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Syria.The panel is tasked with persuading Israel to accept a land for peace Saudi initiative relaunched in March by the Arab League during a summit in Riyadh.But Rice did not name Syria, a country which Washington suspects of being behind political assassinations in neighboring Lebanon and of allowing arms and fighters to flow into Iraq.The grouping made no direct mention of Israel's decision to declare the Hamas-run Gaza Strip a hostile entity and to threaten to cut essential services to the territory. It underscored the need for immediate additional steps to meet previous commitments, including those under the roadmap and the Agreement on Movement and Access.

This was a reference to Israel's previous commitments to ease restrictions on movements to and from the Palestinian territories.The Quartet also expressed concern over conditions in Gaza and stressed the importance of continued emergency and humanitarian assistance without obstruction.Blair meanwhile announced that a meeting of donors for the Palestinians would be held late this year. Economic assistance to the beleaguered Palestinians was to be discussed at a meeting of donors to be chaired by Norway Monday. The United States and the European Union suspended direct economic assistance to the Palestinians in April 2006 after Hamas, which they regard as a terrorist group, won parliamentary elections. Although Washington and the EU announced the resumption of direct aid in June following the appointment of Palestinian prime minister Salam Fayyad, the Quartet statement endorsed an extension until the end of the year of the temporary (aid) mechanism set up in 2006 to bypass Hamas.

UN hosts meeting of Middle East peace Quartet Sun Sep 23, 12:57 AM ET

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - The four sponsors of the Middle East peace process meet here Sunday to discuss preparations for a US-sponsored Israeli-Palestinian peace conference expected to be held in November. The UN meeting, being held two days before world leaders kick off summit talks during the General Assembly session, is also an opportunity for the so-called Quartet to hear former British prime minister Tony Blair's first report since he was named the grouping's special envoy in June.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon is hosting the gathering with his three Quartet partners: US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana.Rice told reporters earlier this week that she planned to brief her colleagues on her recent Middle East trip during which she engaged in shuttle diplomacy with Israelis and Palestinians.She added that she also planned to meet separately with Blair ahead of Sunday's meeting.US President George W. Bush has called for a Middle East peace conference later this year in order to jumpstart Israeli-Palestinian talks, a summit that regional players widely expect to be held in November.

Quartet members are to give a joint press conference at the end of Sunday's two-hour meeting.

The quartet issued a roadmap for achieving Israeli-Palestinian peace in 2003, but the three-stage plan that should have led to the creation of a Palestinian state by 2005 has since languished.Sunday night, Quartet members are to huddle with representatives of the Arab League at an Iftar dinner, the evening meal for breaking the daily fast during the Islamic month of Ramadan.Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store, who is to chair a meeting of donors for the Palestinians Monday morning, was to take part in the Iftar dinner.Earlier this month, Jordan's King Abdullah told Blair that final status issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should be a top priority at the US-sponsored peace conference.The Jordanian monarch then said his country, a close US ally, supports all efforts by the Quartet to bring closer the points of view between the Palestinians and Israelis ahead of the peace meeting called for by US President George W. Bush.Hard work is needed for the the success of the international meeting, which should come up with positive results that would meet the aspirations of the Palestinian people to establish an independent state on their territories, he told Blair.The Jordanian monarch has urged Israelis and the Palestinians to waste no time in resuming final status negotiations on crucial issues such as borders, the future of Jerusalem and refugees.And Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas has warned that the planned conference could fail unless Israel agrees on a framework of core issues.

PREMEDITATED MERGER
Mexican official urges North American Union
Tells Denver trade conference EU is model we need to follow quickly
September 21, 2007 - 1:00 a.m. Eastern - By Michael Howe 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

Mayor Evaristo Lenin Perez of Ciudad Acuna, Mexico
At a Denver conference on intercontinental trade corridors, a Mexican mayor called for a swift move toward a European Union-style merger of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Referring to Europe, Evaristo Lenin Perez of Ciudad Acuna – a sister city of Del Rio, Texas – told the Great Plains International Conference, It's a model we need to follow quickly.Perez later told WND, If only people know the benefits of opening the borders and working together, improving the quality of life for all, then no one would be opposed to the idea of a North American Union.A spokesman for organizers of the conference – which began Wednesday and concludes today – rejected the Mexican mayor's view.

This is not what the conference is about, it is not about a North American Union, said Joe Kiely, vice president of the Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor Coalition. It is about developing infrastructure and economic opportunities in the Great Plains. I am equally surprised the other items were brought up here.Ports-to-Plains describes itself as a planned, multimodal transportation corridor including a multi-lane divided highway that will facilitate the efficient transportation of goods and services from Mexico, through West Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Oklahoma, and ultimately on into Canada and the Pacific Northwest.The conference, held at the Adams Mark Hotel, is promoted as an opportunity to highlight the efforts of communities and citizens working together to bring the benefits of investment in transportation infrastructure and trade home to the Great Plains region.Asked why he chose the conference to promote the idea of a North American Union, Perez told WND, It's as good as any place and the right people are here.This is not a new idea, he said. In fact when there are border meetings between border governors or border legislatures this is a topic that continually comes up.Perez also affirmed the Ports to Plains Corridor is basically a NAFTA Superhighway and needs to be developed as such.

We need to begin by building the infrastructure in the three countries, investing in Mexico, and then we can sell the main idea that Mexicans should stay in Mexico. We just need to create an equal level for all, Perez said. Del Rio, Texas, Mayor Efrain Valdes told conferees he came to build relationships he hopes will last for decades to come. We are all North Americans, he said. Three countries, but we are all North Americans.Michael Reeves, president of Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor Coalition, kicked off the conference with brief remarks. Eduardo Arnal, consulate general of Mexico in Denver, later provided numerous statistics documenting the strong economic relationship between Mexico and the U.S. Because of NAFTA, we are partners in the fight against terror and need to help ensure each other's safety, Arnal said. Arnal later discussed with WND the relationship between Mexico and the U.S. and the issue of illegal immigration. The best and only way to stop illegal immigration is for the United States to invest in Mexico, he said. A fence will not work. It's a simple equation of supply and demand – Mexicans go to the U.S. for work because the demand for their labor and wages is there.

Arnal said although Mexico must share responsibility for the immigration issue, it is the U.S. that really needs to step up and begin investing more in Mexico to help bring the country to a level playing field. The Canadian perspective was delivered by Phillippe Taillon, vice consul and trade commissioner of the Canadian Consulate in Denver. Like his Mexican counterpart, Taillon presented statistics on the relationship between the three countries and told the crowd "NAFTA has been hugely profitable for all three countries.He also expressed an interest in continuing to integrate rail, truck and air transportation networks as Canada looks to open new markets from Asia.

Greenspan: Euro Gains As Reserve Choice
Monday September 17, 8:07 am ET Report: Former Fed Boss Says Euro Could Replace U.S. Dollar As Favored Reserve Currency

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- Former U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan said it is possible that the euro could replace the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency of choice.According to an advance copy of an interview to be published in Thursday's edition of the German magazine Stern, Greenspan said that the dollar is still slightly ahead in its use as a reserve currency, but added that it doesn't have all that much of an advantage anymore.The euro has been soaring against the U.S. currency in recent weeks, hitting all-time high of $1.3927 last week as the dollar has fallen on turbulent market conditions stemming from the ongoing U.S. subprime crisis. The Fed meets this week and is expected to lower its benchmark interest rate from the current 5.25 percent.Greenspan said that at the end of 2006, some 25 percent of all currency reserves held by central banks were held in euros, compared to 66 percent for the U.S. dollar.In terms of being used as a payment for cross-border transactions, the euro is trailing the dollar only slightly with 39 percent to 43 percent.Greenspan said the European Central Bank has become a serious factor in the global economy.He said the increased usage of the euro as a reserve currency has led to a lowering of interest rates in the euro zone, which has without any doubt contributed to the current economic growth.http://www.stern.de

African NGOs Wary of Recent Trade Agreement with European Union
By Joana Mantey Accra, Ghana 20 September 2007

The European Union is hoping to enter a new free trade arrangement, known as the Economic Partnership Agreements, EPA’s, with African, Caribbean and Pacific countries, ACPs, by January 2008. But the Africa Trade Network, ATN, a group of 50 civil society groups in 30 African countries, is cautioning African governments against the new deal.From Accra, Ghana, Voice of America English to Africa reporter Joana Mantey tells us the EU and the African, Caribbean and Pacific countries have been negotiating the new trade agreement for five years. The goal is to establish new arrangements that will eventually remove barriers on almost all trade between the two groups. A press release by the EU delegation in Ghana said new solutions compatible with World Trade Organization rules on non-discrimination are needed to regulate trade because the old recipes have not promoted diversification, competitiveness and growth.Tetteh Hormeku is the program officer of Third World Network, a group that coordinates the activities of the ATN.

He explained that the EU is expecting further negotiations in areas such as investment, trade facilitation, government procurement, data protection and services. Homerku said ACP countries will find it difficult to compete on the same level with EU countries:The problem is that because European economies are much more advanced than African economies and because the European Union is able to give subsidies to its producers and products, if we liberalize, they will just destroy our domestic products and producers so that it will [lead] to de-industrialization in Africa and the collapse of our economies.The intent of the EPA’s as outlined in the agreement is to promote sustainable development and contribute to poverty eradication in ACP countries. But the emphasis on liberalization has created an impression among critics that the negotiation is about European expanded access to ACP markets, rather than about development in ACP countries.Hormeku agrees with the critics that the arrangements will bring few benefits to Africa. He said although goods from ACP countries would be allowed entry into European markets, the results would be costly. For example, he said for a country like Ghana, which has 40 per cent trade with the European Union, the removal of tariffs on European goods coming into Ghana could amount to a 20 per cent loss of revenue.

Also, he says the removal of tariffs would mean African farmers would have to compete with European ones, who receive subsidies from their governments. He doubts the African farmer could win the competition, and there could well be a dumping of Western goods on the market: If we remove the tariffs (on European goods coming in to Ghana), producers in our country will be faced with cheap European products. For instance [Ghana’s] chicken farmers have been devastated because subsidized chicken and poultry from Europe enters into our market.Homerku said all of the sectors of the economies of developing countries would be adversely affected. The end result would be a loss of livelihood and a vicious cycle of poverty for Africans. He said heavy dependence on EU aid by these countries is likely to pressurize most into complying with the new trade arrangement. Homerku said at the moment, some countries are being enticed with promises of increased aid on the condition that they meet the end-of-the-year deadline. This, despite a number of requests by ACP countries that the negotiations be put on hold for three more years to allow for adequate preparation.Homeku further says it is important that all elements of a trade relationship be consistent with Africa’s development needs. Filiberto Ceriani Sebregondi is head of the EU Delegation of the European Commission in Ghana. He said the EPA’s should be seen more as development instruments rather than as another trade regime: It is a broader form of agreement that will be geared towards expanding trade and economic growth in ACP countries. The aim is to create regional markets that are larger in size and more transparent in the way they function and more predictable in the rules that apply to investment.

EU press statements say that most ACP countries trade more with Europe than they do with each other. However, more duties are paid on exports to developing countries than to EU countries. Therefore, the EU supports new agreements that would eliminate barriers between neighboring countries and create real integration that would favor trade and boost growth. It would also create bigger markets more attractive to investors and would facilitate trade with landlocked countries.Sebregondi also refuted charges that the Economic Partnership Agreements would lead to the dumping of European goods on African markets: Europe and Africa don’t compete on the same goods. The two markets rather compliment than compete each other. Secondly, the opening [of ACP markets] will be over a period of 10 to 25 years by which [time] African countries would have prepared their economies to compete with EU products which in any case will bring about some benefits.However, Sebregondi said the EU would make a move to protect some sensitive products, such as tomato paste, from ACP countries.

[Comment] Could a financial crisis engulf Europe?
21.09.2007 - 09:22 CET | By George Irvin

EUOBSERVER / COMMENT - If you're worried about the close connection between negative household savings in the United States and world economic instability, you need look no further than the ‘sub-prime lending' crisis of 2007, an instructive lesson in how quickly a set of apparently unrelated factors can combine to produce the threat of financial meltdown. Earlier this month small savers in the UK queued up 1930s-style outside the branches of Northern Rock, one of Britain's many building societies which (much like a US ‘thrift') specialises in mortgage lending. Until quite recently, Northern Rock was one of Britain's most dynamic mortgage lenders, achieving a high average annual growth rate and holding little bad debt. But in the course of a few weeks, depositors withdrew nearly £20bn, and the company's share price plummeted by 80% making it ripe for takeover. In 2006 the company's chairman, Adam Applegarth, had paid himself a modest £1.4mn; as one journalist noted, unlike Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life, he did not appear at the door of the bank offering to repay customers from his own money.

Ironically, the run on this particular bank appears to have been precipitated by factors which have little to do with the institution's financial integrity, but rather have been caused by the credit crunch in the US market. Indeed, what is most worrying about this episode is that contagion has crossed the Atlantic and could easily spread to other financial institutions in Europe. The US Fed and the European Central Bank have already poured billions into keeping financial markets solvent, the former $70bn and the latter €150bn in July and August; moreover, only a few days ago the US Federal Funds rate was cut by ½ a percentage point. The Bank of England followed with a £10bn injection of credit, in recognising - perhaps a trifle late - that the damage needed to be contained quickly, given the central role of the City of London in the world's money market. How did all this come about?

How it happened

A generation ago when the world of finance was still relatively simple, mortgage banks took in savers' deposits and used these to make long-term loans, making their profit from the spread between the interest rates paid to lenders and borrowers. Loan outflows are a bank's assets and deposit inflows are a liability; hence the traditional golden rule of banking - lend short and borrow long - is meant to keep the inflow of maturing loan repayments well ahead of the outflow of liabilities to depositors. A banker's worst nightmare is the bank's creditors - traditionally, thousands of small savers - will all turn up at once demanding their money back, thus precipitating the bank's collapse. Ostensibly, mortgage banks defy gravity because their loans are all long term; hence, the supreme importance of lending only to those who can repay and whose collateral is quite literally 'safe as houses'.
Several things have happened over the last generation to change the picture. First, the rapid development of financial markets, and particularly that for short-term funds (the international 'money market'), has made access to credit nearly instantaneous and made financial and other institutions more reliant on such credit.

Equally, central banks today are more conscious of their obligation to act as lender of the last resort if a bank cannot meet its cash obligations its own funds or from the money market. Also, flexible mortgages mean that if interest rates rise, a mortgage bank can pass the rise along to borrowers. Perhaps most important, banks need no longer carry risky mortgages which, if unpaid, would be classed as a non-performing asset. Instead, mortgages can be bundled up (securitised in the jargon), segmented by their degree of risk, and sold in the market just like any other commodity. In short, banks can unload risk onto whoever buys these asset backed securities (ABSs); buyers might be any institution looking to diversify its asset portfolio, including other banks.In the United States, one of the factors fuelling the housing bubble was the eagerness of banks to lend for house purchase and remortgage existing property, reflecting the ease with which banks could pass on mortgage risk to the secondary market. Initially, banks granted mortgages to high- and middle-income clients; such mortgages, when bundled into bond-like assets, were given a prime rating by valuers such as Moody's Corporation and thus considered virtually risk-free. As the momentum behind the housing boom grew and interest rates remained low, banks extended their services to low-income clients eager to join the consumption spree - often using bait and switch tactics to lure them in, then charging them above-prime rates. Since such clients were vulnerable to any rise in interest rates, the resulting mortgage pools were deemed to be sub-prime. But when sub-prime mortgages were bundled together with prime mortgages, the resulting mortgage pools could still be bought and sold in the world money market like any other financial product.Starting in June 2004, the Federal Reserve repeatedly pushed up the federal funds rate from a low of 1% to 5.25% by late 2006, in effect nearly doubling the burden of mortgage repayments on the finances of an average family. Predictably, one result was a dramatic rise in the default rate on mortgages granted to sub-prime borrowers. Banks and other institutions holding fully or partially sub-prime ABSs now found it difficult to sell these in secondary markets and, as the assets lost value, so too did the asset sheet of their holders who, in turn, tightened credit.

Europe narrowly avoided trouble

Because the world money market is today so large and electronic trading is ubiquitous, a wide variety of institutions rely on the money market for short-term credit needs. By mid-2007, what had started as a rise in the default rate on mortgages amongst US borrowers now turned into a world-wide credit crunch. The worlds' leading central banks may have talked tough about the moral hazard of bailing out overexposed institutions, but faced with the prospect of recession they flooded the market with liquidity. At the time of writing, the contagion seems to have been contained and the pain will be borne chiefly by low-income American families for whom the prospect of buying a home has become even more remote. Europe has narrowly avoided serious trouble. But the consumer spree of the past two decades, first facilitated by financial deregulation and driven by the booming stock market and then by the housing market, may be drawing to a close. The danger is that the world financial system is already dangerously fragile; as the US dollar falls, a further speculative crisis could send the world economy into a tailspin. More generally, the contagious nature of the liquidity crisis is a further sign that unfettered free markets do not guarantee economic stability and prosperity, nor do they give rise to an income distribution that underwrites social stability and individual well-being. George Irvin's new book, The Road to Inequality, will appear in the spring of 2008.

Actors tell Hollywood Enough is Enough
Petition set up to seek respect for Jesus name - September 22, 2007
1:00 a.m. Eastern - 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

Kathy Griffin

Actress Kathy Griffin's rant at the Emmy awards in which she told Jesus to suck it has triggered a petition campaign intended to tell Hollywood Enough is Enough!
Griffin, the star of the Bravo show My Life on the D-List, was being honored for the Outstanding Reality Program, overtaking ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition after multiple attempts, when she launched into the tirade. But cast members at the Miracle Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., say they have had all they can stand. We, as Christian entertainers, do not take it lightly that the name of our Lord and Savior has been mocked, and in response, we took out an ad in USA Today to stand up for Him, the group said. The group purchased a USA Today ad, for almost $100,000, on Sept. 17 to say, Enough is Enough! The name of Jesus Christ should not be mocked, nor should those who love Him be slandered for their beliefs. It is time for people of faith around the country to stand firm against religious slander, bias, and bigotry of all types including Christianity!

We are the actors, singers, dancers, crew and managers of Miracle Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. We are proud to stand on stage every night and use our God-given talents to portray the life and the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We, along with thousands of other Christians in the entertainment industry, know our talents do come from God, and we take offense when His name is battered and bruised by people through the media. Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus was mocked and few stood up for Him. We at The Miracle Theater consider it an honor to stand for Jesus today, the group said. Griffin, at the 59th annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards held recently, said: I guess hell froze over. A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this. He had nothing to do with this. ... Suck it, Jesus! This award is my god now, she said. The statement brought an immediate reaction from Bill Donohue, president of Catholic League. He called it a vulgar in-your-face brand of hate speech from a self-described complete militant atheist.

He continued: Mel Gibson. Michael Richards. Isaiah Washington. Imus. Jerry Lewis. Every time a celebrity offends a segment of the population, he pays a price, in one way or another. The question now is whether Kathy Griffin will pay a similar price for her outburst. And as we have learned, her verbal assault was calculated.The Miracle Theater organization said: Our attempt is not to throw stones at Ms. Griffin, or anyone else. It is every American's God given right to worship freely and to speak freely. We believe, however, that as Christians, we should not accept her mockery of our Lord quietly! What is shocking to us is how people tend to respond to comments like this about Jesus Christ. It made our heart sick to see people in the audience at the Emmys laughing at Griffin's remarks.The idea for its petition effort, Million Voices for Christ, came about after many people saw the original ad, and called to express their thanks. The group then purchased a second ad to announce its petition plans.

It seemed that many were looking for a way to speak out on the matter. If we together stand up and say, Enough is Enough! we can show the media that there are MILLIONS OF US that love our Lord! With a million signatures, together, we can remind Hollywood that this country was founded on the principles of God's Holy Word, the group said. The message of this petition is simple respect. Our primary objective is to give any person who wants to speak out in support of Christ an outlet to do so, said Russ Hollingsworth, general manager of The Miracle Theater. There is strength in numbers. One million people speaking up just can't be ignored.
He said every American has the right to worship freely and to speak freely. We believe, however, that as Christians it's time for us to take a stand for our faith and ask for respectful treatment from the media and the entertainment industry.

Please be assured that the Israeli Antiquities Authority is closely following the work being carried out on the Temple Mount , and is ensuring that there is no damage to any antiquities unearthed.

Subject: STOP THE DIGGING MR OLMERT NOW PLEASE

Dear Mr Olmert and Israeli Government

This nonsense of letting the Muslims destroy 1st and 2nd Temple artifacts must come to an end. We as Christians insist the Muslims get forced to stop the digging and immediately return the Temple Mount to Israels hands so they can discover what and were the 1st and 2nd Temples stood, and then can rebuild the 3rd Temple also while they are at it.

Mr Olmert this has to stop. Let the israeli's discover were the 3rd Temple will be rebuilt so the Israelis can Sacrifice once again to the GOD OF ISRAEL in the 3rd TEMPLE .

ISRAEL TARGET: SYRIA NUKES
By NEIL GRAVES NY POST

September 20, 2007 -- An Israeli airstrike on Syria earlier this month targeted a building that was believed to house nuclear equipment and came just three days after a North Korean ship docked at a Syrian port, according to reports. The arrival of the ship triggered the strike on Sept. 6 by five Israeli warplanes. The target was a building which had been under surveillance by an Israeli satellite, sent into orbit last June, U.S. officials told CBS News. American officials said they did not know for sure what was in the building, but they agree with the Israelis that there are signs Syria is trying to acquire a nuclear capability.

Hamas trains force of 10,000 to answer Israeli incursion SEPT 21,07

GAZA CITY — Hamas has been preparing a force to counter any Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip.Hamas officials said their new Islamist regime has been training and equipping a force of at least 10,000 fighters to stop any Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip.They said the effort was being led by Hamas's military wing, Izzedin Kassam.On Sept. 14, Izzedin Kassam staged military maneuvers in the northern Gaza Strip, Middle East Newsline reported. Officials said Hamas expected an Israeli ground force to penetrate the Gaza Strip from the north and east and head toward Gaza City, the seat of government. To send a message to the occupation forces that we are ready for any attack, Izzedin Kassam Brigades conducted a military maneuver on Sept. 14, Hamas said.Over the last week, several Israeli ministers have raised the prospect of an invasion of the Gaza Strip. On Sept. 11, 69 Israeli soldiers were injured in a Palestinian missile strike on an Israeli military base south of Ashkelon.

Over the weekend, Israel's military operated in all sectors of the Gaza Strip. The military has used infantry forces, aircraft and naval surface vessels.The Palestinian exercise in Beit Lahiya was led by Nizar Rayan, identified as Hamas military commander of the northern Gaza Strip. Rayan vowed that Hamas would not flee any Israel military advance.The drill, attended by journalists, presented Hamas fighters in squad operations. Squad members, dressed in black ski masks and camouflage, fired rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire toward houses and other targets.Hamas military spokesman Abu Obeida said the Palestinian army has been on full alert for any Israeli invasion. Abu Obeida said Hamas was monitoring Israeli military movements along the Gaza border.We are witnessing a buildup along the borders of the Zionist sector [Israel] and the willingness of aggression amid the great conspiracy, internal, external and Arab silence, Abu Obeida said. We in Izzedin Kassam Brigades have prepared a defense plan for the Gaza Strip.

Sheikdom shakedown: Dubai moves on Nasdaq
Arab ownership of U.S. stock exchange raises flag in Congress
September 20, 2007 4:14 p.m. Eastern By Jerome R. Corsi 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

In a complex set of transactions, Dubai is moving to acquire 19.9 percent of the Nasdaq in New York, placing the Arab government in an ownership position of the key U.S. stock exchange and raising concerns in Congress. As a result of the transaction, Dubai also will acquire 28 percent of the London Stock Exchange, one of the oldest and largest in the world. The transaction is being made through Borse Dubai, a holding company 100-percent owned by the government of the Emirate of Dubai and controlled by Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the head of the Dubai ruling family. According to its website, Borse Dubai was created Aug. 6 as the holding company for Dubai Financial Market and Dubai International Financial Exchange in a move to consolidate the Dubai government's two stock exchanges as well as current investments in other exchanges, expanding Dubai's position as a global capital market hub.

The announcement set off a firestorm of criticism in Washington, prompting President Bush to comment today in a news conference, We're going to take a good look at it, as to whether or not it has any national security implications involved in the transaction. I'm comfortable with the process to go forward.On July 26, Bush signed into law the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007, a law passed after last year's controversy over the effort by Dubai Ports World to acquire London-based Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation, an international ports operating firm that would have given Dubai control of operations in up to 22 U.S. ports. The Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007 was passed to strengthen the examination requirements of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, a highly secretive bureaucratic panel constituted by the Treasury Department to pass verdict on the national security implications of foreign investments in the U.S. In a letter today, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., urged Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson to conduct the Borse Dubai CFIUS review under the standards imposed by the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007, even though most of the requirements of the new law do not take effect until later this fall. Schumer chairs the Joint Economic Committee, composed of 10 members each from the Senate and House of Representatives. Nasdaq is not just any exchange, but one of the world's largest, Schumer wrote Paulson. With approximately 3,200 companies, it lists more companies and, on average, trades more shares per day than any other U.S. market.

Schumer's letter posed five specific questions for Paulson:

What national security concerns are raised by allowing a foreign government to own U.S. financial exchanges? Specifically, with respect to Dubai, are there national security concerns about this particular country's influence or control over a U.S. exchange? U.S. exchanges are a critical asset to our national economic infrastructure. What implications would foreign government control or influence have on our economic security? U.S. economic security depends on continued competitiveness in a global financial market. What impact will this transaction have on U.S. financial competitiveness? If national and economic security concerns can be satisfied, should restrictions be placed on this transaction to limit Dubai's control and influence over U.S. exchanges? The Department of the Treasury could not be reached for immediate comment.

Fears for global economy fuels propels gold price

Autumn is typically a season for gold rallies

The moment every gold bug has been waiting for finally arrived this week when 'Barbaric Relic' smashed through resistance to close the week at a 27-year high of $737 an ounce on the London PM Fix. A heady mix of a collapsing dollar, a British banking crisis, and widespread suspicion that central banks are slackening in the fight against inflation, all combined to propel gold above the $730 peak of May 2006.
Analysts say there is now clear blue sky until reaching the all-time record of $850 in December 1980, when speculators drove it upwards in a parabolic rally at the end of the great inflation crisis.Greg Wilkins, chief executive of the world's top producer Barrick Gold, said the shock half point rate cut by the US Federal Reserve had been the trigger for a major break-out.

I think it's a perfect storm, to be quite honest with you, he said. What we have is inflation plus lower interest rates, and that's not something that we've seen before. I think that's going to be very bearish for the dollar, which is conversely good for gold, he said.Adding to the mood of euphoria, the autumn is typically a season for gold rallies, and Spain's central bank has at last halted its bullion sales.Madrid has been a major cap on prices this year, flooding the market with 150 tonnes. The bank has now cut its total holdings by 46pc, leaving the country with wafer-thin foreign reserves.Experts suspect that Asian central banks may have become buyers. China has less than 2pc of its vast $1,340bn reserves in gold, and has signalled an intent to diversify away from dollars.President Vladimir Putin has instructed Russia's central bank to raise the gold share of its huge reserves from around 5pc to 10pc.The Fed's aggressive rate cut at a time when oil is hovering at an all-time high of $82 a barrel, and food prices are rocketing, has created the impression that the US authorities are willing to tolerate higher inflation rather that allow the credit and housing bubble to deflate fully.As recently at late July, the Fed warned that inflation remained the predominant risk to the economy. Although price rises were tame in August, there are concerns that the headline CPI rate could jump from the current 2.4pc to nearer 3.5pc. China's inflation jumped to 6.5pc in August and price pressures are developing across Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.The Federal Reserve may be right in calculating that the US housing slump is now so serious that it will slow the economy sharply, dampening global price pressures over time. But for now, a large number of well-heeled investors are willing to bet otherwise.

Shalom Stan, BIBLE PROPHECY PROJECT SEPT 22,07

Today is Yom Kippur and throughout the world Jewish people will go to their local synagogue and beg God to be written in the Book of Life. Let us remember that Yeshua (Jesus) and His disciples also went to the synagogue on Yom Kippur, it is a Biblical Sabbath. And on this holiest day of the Jewish calendar year, each Jew will repeat their following requests to God with increasing urgency throughout the day. God, please forgive me of my intention and unintentional sins and allow me to be in the Book of Life. Allow my family to be in the Book of Life, and allow the Jewish People to be in the Book of Life!Unfortunately God's Chosen People do not believe that Yeshua (Jesus) has already paid the price and taken away their sins. And they do not believe that He has risen. They simply do not know the Gospel of Yeshua because no one has taken it to them. They do not know that He is the Messiah, and they do not know the Messianic Prophecies that point to him.

On this Holiest day of the year, 13 million Jewish people around the world believe that their good deeds will allow them to be written in the Book of Life and enter into eternal life. BUT Stan, you and I know that there is only one way to be written in the Lambs Book of Life, and that life can only be received through the blood of Yeshua. Two thousand (2000) years ago, the Temple in Jerusalem was a very bloody place on this Holiest day of the year as God demanded the sacrifice of animals be offered as atonement for our sins.However God sent His One and Only Son Yeshua Who was the final atonement for all of humanity's sins. Yeshua's blood is what allows us to be WRITTEN in the LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE. Today on this holiest day of the Jewish year I am asking you to make a difference and to help Jewish people be written in the Lamb's Book of Life. We must reach deep inside to freely give of ourselves to reach the lost sheep of Israel. Please click here to make a donation today on Yom Kippur so that our ministry can reach them with Yeshua.

There is no greater way to help God's Chosen People on Yom Kippur.

Our ministry is growing - we help counsel Jewish Believers who have left their faith in Yeshua. We reach out to homeless Jewish people, and most importantly we share the Gospel with Jewish people here in Israel and around the world, so that they can know Yeshua! And with your help we are able to publish a Free Messianic Prophecy that will reach the nation of Israel so that on future Yom Kippurs, the nation of Israel can be written in the Book of Life. The only thing that limits us is Funding! The more funding we receive, the more we can help Jews find Yeshua.Will you stand in the gap and weep over the Jewish people just like Yeshua wept over the city of Jerusalem: As Yeshua approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace-but now it is hidden from your eyes. Luke 19:41-42.

SPECIAL NOTE: FROM SUNSET FRIDAY TO SUNSET SATURDAY IT IS THE BIBLICAL DAY OF YOM KIPPUR - THE DAY OF ATONEMENT. JEWS ALL OVER THE WORLD FAST & REPENT THIS DAY. JOSIE & I SUGGEST THAT THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN, JOIN WITH ISRAEL ON THIS MOST HOLY DAY & FAST AND PRAY FOR THE SALVATION OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE IN ISRAEL AND IN YOUR NATION.

David's Comment: Heading Towards the War of Gog & Magog

The demon of another man-made peace treaty is in the air again. PM Olmert and his extremely secular cronies are preparing to commit nation suicide by preparing to give away half of Jerusalem, the Old City, the Temple Mount and most of Judea and Samaria. If God allows this to occur, the miracle of modern Israel will be as good as finished ! Every previous man-designed peace plan has been, and will continue to be a miserable failure, often inflaming the situation rather than improving it. Once again Israel is in serious trouble as the God of Israel seems to be using the Islamic world and the other nations to bring the Jewish people to their knees, in order that they cry out to him. It is not only Israel that is in serious trouble with God. Almost every nation and much of the Church is placing itself in the position to suffer the wrath of the Holy One of Israel, as they once again remain silent as Satan attempts to destroy Israel, or even conspire with the Muslims to force the weak and faithless Israeli leadership to relinquish land that belongs to the Almighty - Land which He has promised as an eternal inheritance to the physical seed of Abraham, by the covenant that He made with Abraham.

The vultures are hovering over Israel in anticipation of an imminent kill. Armadinjhad is mentioning October 12th and Syria must be absolutely fuming over the Israeli Air Force mission that destroyed a nuclear or chemical weapon base 10 days ago. It has now been revealed that a few days before the Israeli attack, there was a serious accident at the base. Reports are surfacing that dozens of Iranian scientists and a number of Syrian military personel where killed when the fittling of a VX nerve gas warhead to a Scud missile, went horribly wrong ( sounds like the hand of God to me ). Surely desparate days lie ahead for God's tiny nation. Its time to pray and intercede as never before.It is not by chance that you are alive and have come to the Kingdom at such a strategically decisive time as this. Don't be caught unaware of the turmoil that YHVH is about to loose on planet Earth. Dont be a silent spectator, but be a co-laborer of God and an ambassador of the Messiah. Be a good soldier in the army of God and get involved as the end-time events unfold before our very eyes. Remember: Failing to prepare is preparation to fail

The following link is to a 40 minute video produced religious Jews who have an amazing understanding of the events prophecied in the Bible and the Talmud. Josie and I strongly recommend you take the time to watch this video - and pass it on to everyone you know - whether they are believers or not. to watch the video click here: http://www.torahohr.net/gogumagog/
Israel is in imminent & dire danger from the plans of George Bush and Ehud Olmert

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

Shabbat Shalom ... David & Josie
