TORAH PORTION FROM JAN 09 2011 6PM - JAN 15 6PM 2011
EXODUS 13:17 - 17:16
17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
EXODUS 14:1-31
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
12 Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
EXODUS 15:1-27
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
EXODUS 16:1-36
1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
7 And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
8 And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
9 And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
13 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
16 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
19 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
21 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
23 And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
25 And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
27 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
32 And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
33 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
35 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
EXODUS 17:1-16
1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
4 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
5 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
16 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
PROPHETS PORTION
JUDGES 4:4-5:31
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
7 And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.
8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
11 Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
12 And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
13 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.
14 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
17 Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
21 Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
24 And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2 Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.
4 LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
5 The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
10 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
11 They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
14 Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
16 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
19 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
22 Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.
24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
26 She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
30 Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
31 So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
NEW TESTAMENT PORTION
LUKE 2:22-24
22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
JOHN 6:25-35
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
JOHN 19:31-37
31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
1 CORINTHIANS 10:1-13
1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
2 CORINTHIANS 8:1-15
1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
10 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
13 For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
14 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
REVELATION 15:1-4
1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

AZ shooting targets US congresswoman, kills 6 By PAULINE ARRILLAGA, Associated Press - JAN 9,11 8AM
TUCSON, Ariz. – The shady individual showed up at a public gathering for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords asking to see the lawmaker, according to event volunteer Alex Villec. Told he would have to wait his turn, the man left but returned minutes later and gunfire erupted.The man, wearing a black cap and baggy pants and shirt, rushed by a table separating him and Giffords, raised an arm, and then came shots, Villec, 19, told The Associated Press.Firing a semiautomatic weapon, the gunman targeted Giffords as she met with constituents around 10 a.m. Saturday outside a busy Tucson supermarket. Authorities said Arizona's chief federal judge and five others were killed and 13 people were wounded, including the Democrat lawmaker.He also fired at her district director and shot indiscriminately at staffers and others standing in line to talk to the congresswoman, said Mark Kimble, a communications staffer for Giffords.He was not more than three or four feet from the congresswoman and the district director, Kimble said, describing the scene as just complete chaos, people screaming, crying.
Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said the rampage ended only after two people tackled the gunman.He was definitely on a mission, said Villec, a former Giffords intern.Police say the shooter was in custody, and was identified by people familiar with the investigation as Jared Loughner, 22. U.S. officials who provided his name to the AP spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release it publicly.His motivation was not immediately known, but Dupnik described him as mentally unstable and possibly acting with an accomplice. His office said a man possibly associated with the suspect who was near the scene was being sought. The man, who was photographed by a security camera, was described as white with dark hair and 40-45 years old.The assassination attempt left the three-term congresswoman in critical condition after a bullet passed through her head.It also left Americans questioning whether divisive politics had pushed the suspect over the edge.A shaken President Barack Obama called the attack a tragedy for our entire country.Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement Sunday that FBI Director Robert Mueller was traveling to Arizona to help coordinate the investigation.Giffords, 40, is a moderate Democrat who narrowly won re-election in November against a tea party candidate who sought to throw her from office over her support of the health care law. Anger over her position became violent at times, with her Tucson office vandalized after the House passed the overhaul last March and someone showing up at a recent gathering with a weapon.
Authorities said the dead included U.S. District Judge John Roll, 63; Christina Greene, 9; Giffords aide Gabe Zimmerman, 30; Dorothy Morris, 76; Dorwin Stoddard, 76; and Phyllis Scheck, 79. Judge Roll had just stopped by to see his friend Giffords after attending Mass.The sheriff blamed the vitriolic political rhetoric that has consumed the country, much of it occurring in Arizona.Giffords expressed similar concern, even before the shooting. In an interview after her office was vandalized, she referred to the animosity against her by conservatives, including Sarah Palin's decision to list Giffords' seat as one of the top targets in the midterm elections.
For example, we're on Sarah Palin's targeted list, but the thing is, that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they have to realize that there are consequences to that action, Giffords said in an interview with MSNBC.In the hours after the shooting, Palin issued a statement in which she expressed her sincere condolences to the family of Giffords and the other victims. During his campaign effort to unseat Giffords in November, Republican challenger Jesse Kelly held fundraisers where he urged supporters to help remove Giffords from office by joining him to shoot a fully loaded M-16 rifle. Kelly is a former Marine who served in Iraq and was pictured on his website in military gear holding his automatic weapon and promoting the event.
I don't see the connection, between the fundraisers featuring weapons and Saturday's shooting, said John Ellinwood, Kelly's spokesman. I don't know this person, we cannot find any records that he was associated with the campaign in any way. I just don't see the connection. Arizona is a state where people are firearms owners — this was just a deranged individual.Law enforcement officials said members of Congress reported 42 cases of threats or violence in the first three months of 2010, nearly three times the 15 cases reported during the same period a year earlier. Nearly all dealt with the health care bill, and Giffords was among the targets.The shooting cast a pall over the Capitol as politicians of all stripes denounced the attack as a horrific. Capitol police asked members of Congress to be more vigilant about security in the wake of the shooting. Obama dispatched his FBI chief to Arizona. Doctors were optimistic about Giffords surviving as she was responding to commands from doctors. With guarded optimism, I hope she will survive, but this is a very devastating wound, said Dr. Richard Carmona, the former surgeon general who lives in Tucson.
At 6 a.m. Sunday, University Medical Center spokeswoman Darcy Slaten said the congresswoman was in critical condition and sedated after undergoing two hours of surgery. She said nine other wounded were being treated at the hospital, four of them critical and five of them serious. Slaten said the three others were treated at other hospitals and released. Giffords spokesman C.J. Karamargin said besides the aide Zimmerman, who was killed, two other Giffords staffers were shot but expected to survive. Zimmerman was a former social worker who served as Giffords' director of community outreach.Greg Segalini, an uncle of Christina, the 9-year-old victim, told the Arizona Republic that a neighbor was going to the event and invited her along because she had just been elected to the student council and was interested in government.Christina, who was born on Sept. 11, 2001, was involved in many activities, from ballet to baseball. She had just received her first Holy Communion at St. Odilia's Catholic Church in Tucson, Catholic Diocese of Tucson officials told The Arizona Daily Star.In the evening, more than 100 people attended a candlelight vigil outside Giffords' headquarters, where authorities investigated a suspicious package that turned out to be non-explosive.The suspect Loughner was described by a former classmate as a pot-smoking loner, and the Army said he tried to enlist in December 2008 but was rejected for reasons not disclosed.Federal law enforcement officials were poring over versions of a MySpace page that included a mysterious Goodbye friends message published hours before the shooting and exhorted his friends to Please don't be mad at me.
In one of several YouTube videos, which featured text against a dark background, Loughner described inventing a new U.S. currency and complained about the illiteracy rate among people living in Giffords' congressional district in Arizona. I know who's listening: Government Officials, and the People, Loughner wrote.Nearly all the people, who don't know this accurate information of a new currency, aren't aware of mind control and brainwash methods. If I have my civil rights, then this message wouldn't have happen (sic).In Loughner's middle-class neighborhood — about a five-minute drive from the scene — sheriff's deputies had much of the street blocked off. The neighborhood sits just off a bustling Tucson street and is lined with desert landscaping and palm trees.Neighbors said Loughner lived with his parents and kept to himself. He was often seen walking his dog, almost always wearing a hooded sweat shirt and listening to his iPod.Loughner's MySpace profile indicates he attended and graduated from school in Tucson and had taken college classes. He did not say if he was employed.High school classmate Grant Wiens, 22, said Loughner seemed to be floating through life and doing his own thing.Sometimes religion was brought up or drugs. He smoked pot, I don't know how regularly. And he wasn't too keen on religion, from what I could tell, Wiens said.
Lynda Sorenson said she took a math class with Loughner last summer at Pima Community College's Northwest campus and told the Arizona Daily Star he was obviously very disturbed.He disrupted class frequently with nonsensical outbursts, she said.In October 2007, Loughner was cited in Pima County for possession of drug paraphernalia, which was dismissed after he completed a diversion program, according to online records.Giffords was first elected to Congress amid a wave of Democratic victories in the 2006 election, and has been mentioned as a possible Senate candidate in 2012 and a gubernatorial prospect in 2014.She is married to astronaut Mark E. Kelly, who has piloted space shuttles Endeavour and Discovery. The two met in China in 2003 while they were serving on a committee there, and were married in January 2007. Sen. Bill Nelson, chairman of the Senate Commerce Space and Science Subcommittee, said Kelly is training to be the next commander of the space shuttle mission slated for April. His brother is currently serving aboard the International Space Station, Nelson said.Giffords is known in her southern Arizona district for her numerous public outreach meetings, which she acknowledged in an October interview with The Associated Press can sometimes be challenging.You know, the crazies on all sides, the people who come out, the planet earth people,she said following an appearance with Adm. Mike Mullen in which the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was peppered with bizarre questions from an audience member.I'm glad this just doesn't happen to me.Associated Press Writers Amanda Lee Myers and Terry Tang in Tucson, Jacques Billeaud, Bob Christie and Paul Davenport in Phoenix, and David Espo, Matt Apuzzo, Eileen Sullivan, Adam Goldman and Charles Babington in Washington contributed to this report.

Reports: Congresswoman, 6 Others Killed In Tucson Shooting
By David Espo | Associated Press Published: January 08, 2011
ARIZONA -- Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., was shot in the head and an unknown number of others were wounded Saturday when an assailant sprayed bullets into an area where the lawmaker was meeting with constituents, congressional officials said.
These officials said one of the victims died soon after the attack, and others were taken to a nearby hospital.The officials said the wounded included some of Gifford's aides who were with her at the time.The officials who described the events did so on condition of anonymity, saying they were not permitted to comment publicly.They said the FBI and local law enforcement were investigating the attack, which took place while Giffords was greeting constituents outside a grocery store.Giffords, 40, was re-elected to her third term last November. She was a member of the Arizona House and Senate before coming to Washington.She first won election to Congress amid a wave of Democratic victories in 2006. In November, she edged a tea party favorite.
Arizona shooting leaves US stunned - America has a long history of assaults on its politicians but this comes in a climate of deep division and growing extremism
Paul Harris guardian.co.uk, Saturday 8 January 2011 23.05 GMT 7:40PM EST
The shooting of Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and some of her top aides has left America shocked. Not only for the violence against an elected leader but also for the fact that it happened in broad daylight.Politicians from all sides expressed outrage and sadness.I am horrified by the senseless attack ... an attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve,said Republican House speaker John Boehner. This is a sad day for our country.The recent heated political atmosphere in America has led many to fear for the safety of elected officials. And the attack on Giffords is not without precedent. America has a long history of attacks on its leaders, whether from deranged loners, politically motivated assailants or even cults. They have spanned the full gamut from rightwingers to leftist revolutionaries. The last congressman to be murdered was Leo Ryan who was killed during the Jonestown cult massacre in Guyana in 1978.Few are expecting the circumstances surrounding the attack on Giffords to be as bizarre as that. But it is certainly no less disturbing set against a background of heated rhetoric. Much debate has painted American politicians in general, and the federal government in particular, as somehow being a force for evil. Indeed many rightwing commentators have portrayed President Barack Obama and senior Democrats as socialists or even Marxists bent on fundamentally changing the American way of life. Some fringe groups and conservative politicians have even hinted at resorting to illegal measures in order to defend the nation from what they see as a dire threat. Giffords's own offices were vandalised after she voted for healthcare reform.
Elsewhere, there has been a rash of attacks on government targets from individuals pursuing extremist aims. Last year in Texas Joseph Stack flew a private aeroplane into a branch of the Internal Revenue Service tax authorities. He left a rambling suicide note that contained numerous anti-government statements. Neo-Nazi James von Brunn shot dead a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in Washington in 2009. In the same year a doctor who performed abortion was killed in Kansas City and several incidents occurred in which people with links to white supremacists killed people or were found with explosives caches.Gun-rights advocates across America have made a point of turning up to some political events carrying weapons, including powerful rifles, in order to demonstrate their right to bear arms. That is a fact that might become relevant given that the shooting of Gifford occurred in public at an open meet and greet political event.The rise of political extremism in recent years has been tracked by the Southern Poverty Law Centre which issued a report in 2009 that warned of rising numbers of potentially violent right-wing militia groups. The numbers of hate groups grew from 602 in 2000 to 926 in 2009, the organisation has found.Attacks on American politicians can happen at any time, anywhere and seemingly for any reason. In 1981 Republican President Ronald Reagan was shot by John Hinckley in Washington DC. Hinckley later claimed he was acting out of a desire to impress the actress Jodie Foster. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and has been in psychiatric care ever since.
The deaths that plagued the Kennedy family also came about via a variety of causes. The 1963 murder of President John F Kennedy has long been the subject of endless and fruitless conspiracy theories. Officially the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, acted alone on a deranged one-man mission. But many people believe in a greater plot. Kennedy's brother Robert was killed while campaigning in 1968 by Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan, who made an antisemitic diatribe during his trial.Many other presidents and top elected leaders have also had attempts on their lives. Gerald Ford, who was only president for three years, faced two. The first was a shooting attempt by a one-time follower of murderous cult leader Charles Manson. The second, just three weeks later, was a leftist revolutionary who had become fascinated by the Patti Hearst kidnapping. The suspect identified by media as having been arrested in the Giffords shooting is Jared Lee Loughner, aged 22. A YouTube channel purportedly linked to him has been turned up in which he had apparently posted several videos.Much of the content was deeply confused and incoherent, claiming the government was attempting to control people's minds by controlling grammar.

Reports: Congresswoman, 6 Others Killed In Tucson Shooting
By David Espo | Associated Press Published: January 08, 2011
ARIZONA -- Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., was shot in the head and an unknown number of others were wounded Saturday when an assailant sprayed bullets into an area where the lawmaker was meeting with constituents, congressional officials said.
These officials said one of the victims died soon after the attack, and others were taken to a nearby hospital.The officials said the wounded included some of Gifford's aides who were with her at the time.The officials who described the events did so on condition of anonymity, saying they were not permitted to comment publicly.They said the FBI and local law enforcement were investigating the attack, which took place while Giffords was greeting constituents outside a grocery store.Giffords, 40, was re-elected to her third term last November. She was a member of the Arizona House and Senate before coming to Washington.She first won election to Congress amid a wave of Democratic victories in 2006. In November, she edged a tea party favorite.
Arizona shooting leaves US stunned - America has a long history of assaults on its politicians but this comes in a climate of deep division and growing extremism
Paul Harris guardian.co.uk, Saturday 8 January 2011 23.05 GMT 7:40PM EST
The shooting of Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and some of her top aides has left America shocked. Not only for the violence against an elected leader but also for the fact that it happened in broad daylight.Politicians from all sides expressed outrage and sadness.I am horrified by the senseless attack ... an attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve,said Republican House speaker John Boehner. This is a sad day for our country.The recent heated political atmosphere in America has led many to fear for the safety of elected officials. And the attack on Giffords is not without precedent. America has a long history of attacks on its leaders, whether from deranged loners, politically motivated assailants or even cults. They have spanned the full gamut from rightwingers to leftist revolutionaries. The last congressman to be murdered was Leo Ryan who was killed during the Jonestown cult massacre in Guyana in 1978.Few are expecting the circumstances surrounding the attack on Giffords to be as bizarre as that. But it is certainly no less disturbing set against a background of heated rhetoric. Much debate has painted American politicians in general, and the federal government in particular, as somehow being a force for evil. Indeed many rightwing commentators have portrayed President Barack Obama and senior Democrats as socialists or even Marxists bent on fundamentally changing the American way of life. Some fringe groups and conservative politicians have even hinted at resorting to illegal measures in order to defend the nation from what they see as a dire threat. Giffords's own offices were vandalised after she voted for healthcare reform.
Elsewhere, there has been a rash of attacks on government targets from individuals pursuing extremist aims. Last year in Texas Joseph Stack flew a private aeroplane into a branch of the Internal Revenue Service tax authorities. He left a rambling suicide note that contained numerous anti-government statements. Neo-Nazi James von Brunn shot dead a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in Washington in 2009. In the same year a doctor who performed abortion was killed in Kansas City and several incidents occurred in which people with links to white supremacists killed people or were found with explosives caches.Gun-rights advocates across America have made a point of turning up to some political events carrying weapons, including powerful rifles, in order to demonstrate their right to bear arms. That is a fact that might become relevant given that the shooting of Gifford occurred in public at an open meet and greet political event.The rise of political extremism in recent years has been tracked by the Southern Poverty Law Centre which issued a report in 2009 that warned of rising numbers of potentially violent right-wing militia groups. The numbers of hate groups grew from 602 in 2000 to 926 in 2009, the organisation has found.Attacks on American politicians can happen at any time, anywhere and seemingly for any reason. In 1981 Republican President Ronald Reagan was shot by John Hinckley in Washington DC. Hinckley later claimed he was acting out of a desire to impress the actress Jodie Foster. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and has been in psychiatric care ever since.
The deaths that plagued the Kennedy family also came about via a variety of causes. The 1963 murder of President John F Kennedy has long been the subject of endless and fruitless conspiracy theories. Officially the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, acted alone on a deranged one-man mission. But many people believe in a greater plot. Kennedy's brother Robert was killed while campaigning in 1968 by Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan, who made an antisemitic diatribe during his trial.Many other presidents and top elected leaders have also had attempts on their lives. Gerald Ford, who was only president for three years, faced two. The first was a shooting attempt by a one-time follower of murderous cult leader Charles Manson. The second, just three weeks later, was a leftist revolutionary who had become fascinated by the Patti Hearst kidnapping. The suspect identified by media as having been arrested in the Giffords shooting is Jared Lee Loughner, aged 22. A YouTube channel purportedly linked to him has been turned up in which he had apparently posted several videos.Much of the content was deeply confused and incoherent, claiming the government was attempting to control people's minds by controlling grammar.

CHRISTIAN LIFE IN MUSLIM NATIONS - JOHN LOEFFLER
http://britanniaradio.blogspot.com/2011/01/john-loeffler-steel-steel-christian.html#links
ISAIAH 14:12-15
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,(SATAN) son of the morning! (CRECENT MOON-ISLAM) how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
No more Mosques and no Sharia law in America By Laurie Roth JAN 6,11
Sharia law should be banished from any court in America, unless we plan to support beatings and murders. Just one of the many things Sharia law states is that an Islamic person who leaves Islam is now considered apostate and should be killed. Gays should be executed and thieves should have their hand cut off while wives can be beaten for many different reasons by their husbands. Isn’t that splendid.Sharia law is the exact opposite of our US constitution, Judeo Christian values and heritage of respect and freedom. It reads more like an Adolph Hitler rule book, yet that is what Islam’s skeletal, legal and cultural core run by. There is no freedom that I can see anywhere in Islamic countries. It is only an ancient, male controlled Governmental and political system, hiding behind words and structure of a Religion Islam. There is nothing liberating, life enhancing or freedom producing about it. We continue to hear Imams and Muslim apologists talking of the wonders of Islam’s ability to live and breath in safety and pluralism in America. They aren’t hostile to Jews and Christians, yeah other non believers. Yet, when one of our States, Oklahoma votes against Sharia or International law being used within their courts, they are sued and challenged by Muslims and Muslim groups. Shockingly, Judge Vicki-LaGrange said the overwhelming elections against using Sharia would be suspended, pending a hearing, where she would hear arguments against the vote, then make a decision. What is not to understand? The vast majority of Oklahomans voted against using Sharia. How is that not clear?
Let us talk of more pluralistic and open minded Muslim moments. We saw the near successful car bomb in Times square a few months back; Christmas 2009 we saw the underwear, Islamic bomber nearly blow up a plane on Christmas; Before that we saw the Fort Hood Islamic killer wipe out 14 people at Ft. Hood. The threats and attacks have been non stop since 2001. In the meantime, we see law suits against Oklahomans and a Judge blocking a law the vast majority of the people put in place against the nightmare of Sharia. Frankly, the whole country and every court system in it should banish Sharia law period. On top of all this idiotic drama we hear the endless push and movement to build the 13 story Islamic center at ground zero. Naturally we hear the pluralistic and multi religious emphasis that will represent the presented core of this internationalist and pluralistic effort. There is only one teensy weensy problem. That is a lie from the pit of hell. The only Religion that will be pushed on New York and the world is Islam. There will be no Synagogue and Lutheran Church hidden within its many floors. If allowed, this will be nothing more then an attractant for all radicalized Muslims worldwide, a training center for terrorism in America and a major flip off of the middle finger to all of Americans, Christians and Jews.It will be a celebration of the attack on 9/11 again and again like the movie Groundhog Day. Apparently that is what many compromised 50 yard liners, who believe we have gotten what we deserved from Islamics, want.
I couldn’t help but notice yet again, another brazen slaughter of Christians leaving a service on January 1st in Egypt. 21 Christian Coptics were murdered leaving a new year’s mass while 90 were injured. The cowardly and lying media manipulated the presented news of this horrific act of Islamic terrorism. Many in the headline news said the attack was against Muslims and Jews, thus hiding the truth, which was all murdered and injured were Christians not Muslims. It was nothing but another boring, murderous jihad against Christians or Jews, nothing else. It even gets richer when looking at some of the Arabic news media. According to Newsmax.com, Almesryoon.com (Arabic news) said the Coptic worshipers are “supported by Israeli Mossad’ and that was behind this attack. Apparently, this contrived and promoted fantasy would justify to the Arabs and rest of the world that the Coptic Christians brought the murders on themselves…..no…..the killings…….no the righteous, Muhammad directed executions…..yes. They were infidels who deserved to die.I have interviews IQ Al-Rasooli, a native born Iraqi, Arabic speaking intellectual, raised Muslim, who has found in exhaustive studies of the Koran, Hadith and going back only into Islamic documents and Arabic sources, that Islam is absolutely false and most dangerous. He has written 780 chapters of his book/thesis and challenges with huge cash awards, any Islamic anywhere, anytime to refute even one word of what he says and writes as untrue. No one has tried or been able to collect his large rewards. He continues to wait.
IQ told me of the extreme and unreported persecution against Christians all through Muslim countries, especially in his home country, Iraq and throughout the Middle East. Churches are regularly attacked and burned to the ground. Worshipers, as in Egypt on January 1, 2011 are murdered and their deaths manipulated and minimized. Sharia Law won’t even allow Christians to fix or repair their church structures and buildings, while regulating and controlling them out of existence. Those that survive the madness and overt hostility, taxation and control are eventually attacked or run out of town.Regardless of what you may think of Islam’s ability to live in a pluralistic and open way in America with Christians, non believers and Jews, the facts are still the facts. Their Holy Books call their followers to attack and kill the Infidels, separate and dominate where they can. They continue to push the unconstitutional, freedom bashing Sharia law where ever they can, while we walk swiftly to our demise while talking of their endless rights.America is battling global elitists, socialist/communists but also Islamic fundamentalists who hide behind silent Jihad violent Jihad peace and persecuted minority status.In my view it is most clear. We should allow zero more Mosques to be built in America, nor Islamic centers or schools, especially funded by the radical money of Saudi Arabia, Egypt or any other Muslim regime. They are surrounding and infiltrating America from within just as they have planned. We must not let them! If they want to build any more Mosques, we should have a formula of one to one. For every Mosque backed by Arab money built in America, we get a paid for Christian church built in a major Muslim city in the Middle East, with security.I’m all for differences and varied Religious opinions in our free country. I am not for playing the dangerous board game of Islamic Pretend hiding behind the flash cards of pluralism,Islamic persecution and freedom of religion.

G20 to tackle food prices as countries reassure
By Kim Yeonhee Kim Yeonhee – JAN 7,11
SEOUL (Reuters) – The world's biggest economies are working to find ways to bring down soaring food prices, a G20 official said on Friday, as top exporter Thailand vowed to keep rice supply steady and avert a repeat of the 2008 food crisis.Global food prices hit a record high last month, outstripping the levels that sparked riots in several countries in 2008, and key grains could rise further, the United Nations' food agency said this week.Policymakers are concerned that, if unchecked, rising food prices could stoke inflation, protectionism and unrest.High food prices and unemployment were blamed for a second day of rioting in Algeria Friday with police deployed around mosques and authorities suspending football matches.Rhee Chang-yong, who represents South Korea at the G20, said working-group talks were under way aimed at improving global cooperation to resolve food security problems.France is emphasizing food security. As a former host country of G20, we would like to deal with the price volatility problem thoroughly, Rhee said.French President Nicolas Sarkozy has asked the World Bank to conduct urgent research on the impact of food prices, a source familiar with the matter said.French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said this week that one of France's priorities at the G20, where it holds the rotating presidency, was to find a collective response to excessive volatility in prices of food and energy.One concern is that high food prices could hit consumer spending in fast-growing emerging countries that are leading the revival of the global economy.
CEREAL PRICES UP IN 2010
Last year, wheat futures prices rose 47 percent, buoyed by bad weather including drought in Russia and its Black Sea neighbors. U.S. corn rose more than 50 percent and U.S. soybeans jumped 34 percent.The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said in a report Wednesday that sugar and meat prices were at their highest since its records began in 1990. For wheat, rice, corn and other cereals, prices were at their highest since the 2008 crisis.During that crisis, riots broke out in countries from Egypt to Haiti. Import prices jumped, forcing many countries' trade balances into a deep and costly deficit, and several governments in Asia imposed export restrictions on rice.The U.N.'s World Food Program (WFP), which was feeding some 100 million people last year, noted that cereals including rice had not hit 2008 price peaks, but that sugar and cooking oil were pushing up the food index.We're ready to step up assistance specifically to countries that are vulnerable to these high prices, especially focusing also on risks to children, WFP spokeswoman Emilia Casella told a news briefing in Geneva.She said a fairly good harvest in a number of African countries in the past year had helped, and that reserves were higher than in the 2008 crisis while fuel prices, which affect fertilizer and the transport of food, were lower.Robert Prior-Wandesforde, an economist at Credit Suisse in Singapore, said food commodity prices were unlikely to rise much further, barring weather catastrophes.The estimated global and exporting countries' stock-to-use ratios of both wheat and rice are considerably higher today than in 2007-08, making shortages and drastic export bans unlikely,he said in a report. But the London-based venture capital firm Emergent Asset Management, which holds swathes of land across southern Africa, still sees much more mileage in food prices.The world is still in denial about food prices, its chief investment officer, David Murran, told Reuters.If you look at demographics, if you look at production, if you look at the impact of climate change, then we are only at the beginning of this.
CHILIS, RICE AND ONIONS
Many countries, including Brazil, India and China, have seen food inflation jump to double digit levels. Inflation rates accelerated across Latin America in December as costs spiked for food, increasing pressure on policymakers to raise interest rates. Prices rose sharply for Mexican tortillas and Chilean beef last month, while Brazilian bean costs surged over 2010. China has imposed price controls to try to ensure stable prices for consumers. On Friday, Ethiopia announced similar measures.
Thailand, the world's biggest rice exporter, sought to reassure the market, with Commerce Minister Porntiva Nakasai telling reporters it would maintain 2011 exports at 9 to 9.5 million tonnes after shipping 9 million in 2010.The Philippines, the world's biggest buyer of rice, said it would cut its 2011 imports by at least half, compared with record purchases in 2010, further easing concerns of a tight rice market this year.Still, the head of the National Food Authority, which oversees rice imports, said it might increase its buffer stock to cover a minimum 40 days of demand, from 30 now.A senior food official in Bangladesh said it was worried about food security and had imported 250,000 tonnes of rice from Vietnam.In Indonesia, which has the world's fourth-largest population, a fivefold rise in the price of chillies in the past year has helped drive overall inflation to near 7 percent.
Farmers are operating around-the-clock patrols to protect their chili plants and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has urged households to plant chillies in their gardens.In India, where onion prices have triggered protests in the past, prices have jumped after weather damaged the crop and officials have opened talks with Pakistan about resuming imports.(Additional reporting by CJ Kuncheria in New Delhi, Aaron Maasho in Addis Ababa, Erik dela Cruz in Manila, Apornrath Phoonphongphiphat in Bangkok, Ruma Paul in Dhaka, Rieka Rahadiana, Aditya Suharmoko and Telly Nathalia in Jakarta; Stephanie Nebehay in Geneva, Peter Apps in London, Emmanuel Jarry in Paris, Jason Lange in Mexico City, Denise Luna and Elzio Barreto in Rio de Janeiro, Antonio de la Jara and Brad Haynes in Santiago; Editing by Daniel Magnowski, Jason Neely and Kevin Liffey)

Winter storm bringing more snow to blizzard-weary North
By Ellen Wulfhorst – Fri Jan 7, 2:19 pm ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Snow fell across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast states on Friday, bringing several inches of fresh accumulation to a region that has scarcely dug out from the Christmas weekend blizzard.The latest winter storm will drop snow from the Great Lakes east to the Atlantic seaboard and New England throughout Friday and into early Saturday, forecasters said.The Northeast could see one to five inches of snow from Maryland north into Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut, forecasters said. Two to four inches accumulation was likely in New York City, they said.One to three inches were forecast for Philadelphia, Wilmington and Atlantic City, according to Accuweather.com.Accuweather.com senior meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said Northeast weather would feature a great deal of little storm systems or disturbances running around through the weekend.Pretty much anybody in the Northeast is fair game for a sneak attack from a coating of snow into Sunday, he said. It is almost like atmospheric guerrilla warfare.While not as powerful as the late December blast, this storm was snarling travel, with delays of nearly three hours inbound for LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International airports and slightly less at Newark Liberty International.
Further west, snow showers swept across southwestern Pennsylvania overnight.I couldn't get my car out of my driveway this morning, said Robert Kimble, a construction worker waiting for a bus in Pittsburgh. Too much snow.The storm was not likely to approach the scale of the Christmas weekend blizzard, however, which pummeled the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. That storm dropped some 20 inches of snow in New York City, where many streets went unplowed for days and trains, buses and subways ground to a halt.A federal and several local investigations have been launched to determine why the cleanup was slow and inefficient, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg has vowed the city will be better prepared and more efficient this time around.On Tuesday or Wednesday, a big coastal storm was likely to arrive off the East Coast, the National Weather Service said.The South will get its latest wintry blast over the weekend, said Mark Avery, lead meteorologist for The Weather Channel, with some significant snow accumulations.The wintry side of this storm will really begin to show up on Sunday, Avery said. Snow is expected from Arkansas into the western Carolinas, with accumulating snow possible in northern parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.A winter storm was expected as well over the central Plains, with snow in Wyoming, Montana, the Dakotas and Nebraska, moving east toward Missouri, forecasters said.In the West, dense fog and smog plagued the Wasatch Front in heavily populated areas of Utah on Friday.It's been a problem most of the week, the smog, patchy dense fog in the lower valleys, said meteorologist Mike Conger with the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City.
Snow was accumulating in northern Utah, and a cold front was aiming for the state as well, which should bring some relief in terms of the air quality, officials said.
In Washington state, a cold front was blowing in from the Pacific Ocean. Three to four inches of new snow were anticipated at Snoqualmie Pass, a thoroughfare to Seattle from eastern Washington, on Friday.(Reporting by Laura Myers in Seattle, James Nelson in Salt Lake City and Daniel Lovering in Pittsburgh, Editing by Jerry Norton and Greg McCune)
Flooded-out Australians go home to mud, mess, rain
– Fri Jan 7, 8:28 am ET
BRISBANE, Australia – Residents of waterlogged northeast Australia returned to homes caked in sludge and nervously watched the skies for more rain Friday while waiting for swollen rivers to recede.The worst appeared to have passed from flooding that covered an area the size of France and Germany in murky brown water for longer than a week, but torrents still posed dangers in partly-submerged towns in Queensland state and progress on assessing damage and rebuilding was slow.On Friday, police banned boats from the swollen river coursing through the city of Rockhampton that is expected to remain near its peak for another 10 days.The scope of the damage is not yet known, and fully repairing all of the infrastructure washed away or ruined could take years, the army general heading recovery efforts said.We still don't know what it looks like underwater, Maj. Gen. Mick Slater told reporters in Rockhampton, where people for days have waded through water that was waist-deep in places. Major roads, rail lines and bridges are all damaged, but we don't know yet how much.
Australia's worst flooding in some 50 years was caused by tropical rains that fell for days, starting just before Christmas. Some 1,200 homes in 40 communities were inundated and almost 11,000 more have water damage. Nearly 4,000 people were evacuated, and police have reported 10 deaths in swollen rivers or floodwaters in Queensland since late November.The flooding shut some 40 coal mines in the state, pushing up global prices, and has hurt wheat, mango, sugarcane and other crops. State Premier Anna Bligh has said the price of rebuilding homes, businesses and infrastructure, coupled with economic losses, could be as high as $5 billion.Heavy rain fell Friday and could last through the weekend, the Bureau of Meteorology said. The rains aren't expected to increase flooding but could delay recovery and prolong the crisis.The news for those in flooded areas Friday ranged from good, to bad, to little change at all.Some of the 150 people of Condamine drove home in a convoy on Thursday for the first time since military helicopters helped evacuate everyone on Dec. 30 before a swollen river swamped the cattle-ranch supply town.Nothing does justice to the devastation you come back to; it's just phenomenal, said pub owner Shane Hickey.Everything is gone. The water just took everything with it.All the grass is mud, all the plants have been torn out of the ground, the trees have gone over and are just covered in silt and mud,he said.
The town has no drinking water, and Mayor Ray Brown said electricians, plumbers, portable toilets and water and food were being brought in.Farther south, people in St. George were watching floodwaters inch higher by the hour on the earth-and-sandbag levees they rushed to build around homes. The flood peak was forecast lower, meaning fewer than 30 homes in the town of some 2,500 people were at risk.In Rockhampton, the largest community hit, the floodwaters peaked two days ago but were steady Friday after inundating large parts of the city of 75,000 people. Small motorboats have replaced cars as the main way to get around in the worst-hit suburbs.
Police declared a no-go zone for boats on a section of the flooded Fitzroy River because live power lines hung too close to the water.Traveling through the floodwaters at this location is extremely dangerous due to low-lying power lines, said Inspector Peter Flanders. It is important that the power to the Rockhampton sewerage treatment plant remains switched on.

18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.(NUCLEAR BOMBS)

New Israeli military technology speeds up warfare By BEN HUBBARD, Associated Press - JAN 7,11
SHIVTA ARTILLERY TRAINING SCHOOL, Israel – Intense winds scraped sand from the desert floor, clouding the view and leaving the Israeli soldiers scarcely able to see each other as they practiced blasting artillery shells at distant targets.In a nearby armored vehicle, commanders armed with small screens could easily monitor every cannon, jeep and target involved, ordering strikes with the tap of a finger. Their weapon: a sophisticated communication system that compiles battlefield information in an easy-to-use, video game-like map interface, helping militaries make sense of the chaos of battle.The Associated Press was given rare access to the exercise by a military eager to reclaim some of the deterrence it held in the region when technologically inferior Arab armies were the main threat against it.That deterrence has eroded in recent times, as guerrilla warfare became more prominent and left conventional armies — here as elsewhere — looking clumsy and vulnerable.
In a monthlong war in 2006, Lebanese guerrillas with relatively simple rockets knocked out Israeli tanks, and Israel's high-tech military was powerless to stop a barrage of primitive, unguided Katyusha rockets on northern Israel.The latest computerized gadgetry is designed to knock down the military's response time. Troops on the ground can add new targets as soon as they spot them — like militants on foot, a rocket squad or a vehicle — to the network for commanders to see instantly and hit.Strikes that used to take 20 or more minutes to coordinate now take just seconds, said Maj. Hagai Ben-Shushan, head of the C4I section for Israel's artillery. It doesn't take much, then shells are going to the target, he said.Israel is among several nations harnessing digital and satellite technology to develop C4I systems — short for command, control, communications, computers and intelligence — that integrate battlefield information.The goal is to have all the elements of a force ... seeing the same tactical picture, and you can move information from one to the other completely seamlessly, said Britain-based Giles Ebbutt, who studies such systems for Jane's Information Group.C4I systems are operational in the United States, which started development in the 1990s, as well as France, Singapore, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy, among other countries, Ebbutt said.Israel's version — being developed over the past decade or so — is a little bit further down the road than some people ... because they have a focus on the problem, they are constantly operationally alert, and they need to be as operationally developed as they can, Ebbutt said.
The army says it started using the first, basic version in 2005, but it did not include all units and functions. The latest, completed in 2009 and in training since last March, allows all forces on the ground to communicate instantaneously.Visually, now everything is on the map, so it's much easier to coordinate, said the battalion commander whose men were being trained. You can easily understand the map and the position of forces.He spoke on condition of anonymity under military rules.On a stretch of sand near the army base at Shivta, deep in Israel's southern Negev desert, six artillery cannon stood with their barrels aimed at targets about 4 miles (6 kilometers) away. Commanders in a nearby armored vehicle stared at two screens, watching all movement on an interactive satellite map.Pink squares marked each cannon, dotted lines of shell trajectory extended from their barrels and circles showed the expected blast radius of any shells fired.Different symbols marked other army vehicles, their locations kept up to date with GPS-like devices. All the vehicles carried similar screens, giving soldiers a realtime map of the battlefield.
One soldier demonstrates how to add a new target to the map: A tap on the screen places it, then he can describe its size and character.Seeing the target, a commander can then order a strike with a few more taps, deciding who will fire and how much. The order immediately appears on those units' screens. The system's newest version, built by Israeli defense contractor Elbit, has yet to be battle-tested, but Israel used an earlier one in its Gaza offensive two years ago, Ben-Shushan said.
That war, launched to stop militant rocket fire on Israeli towns, killed about 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis. Four of the 10 Israeli soldiers were killed by friendly fire, but Col. Gil Maoz, head of Israel's Digital Army program, said the technology helped to prevent other Israeli fatalities.Israel had only an early version of the system during its war with the Lebanese militia Hezbollah in 2006, which killed about 1,200 Lebanese and 160 Israelis. An Israeli investigation into the war, which was widely seen as a failure, criticized the inability of commanders to relay key information to the field.Maoz said having the system then could have lowered the Israeli death toll.Elbit spokeswoman Dalia Rosen said that what sets the Israeli system apart from others is the ease with which it allows land, naval and air forces to communicate with each other and its ability to link everyone from rank-and-file soldiers in the field to the highest commanders.She said Australia purchased Elbit communications technology for its own battle management system in a deal last year valued at $298 million.Associated Press writer Josef Federman contributed reporting.

Chile says it recognizes a Palestinian state By Eva Vergara, Associated Press – JAN 7,11
SANTIAGO, Chile – Chile recognized Palestinian statehood on Friday, joining other South American nations in a push for Palestinians and Israelis to keep negotiating toward a lasting peace in the Middle East.Foreign Minister Alfredo Moreno says Chile is following U.N. resolutions with its decision to recognize the existence of the state of Palestine as a free, independent and sovereign state, coexisting in peace with the State of Israel.Chile's decision follows a meeting in Brazil between Chilean President Sebastian Pinera and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who has been lobbying his counterparts to show their support. Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia and Ecuador recognized Palestinian statehood last month, and Uruguay and Paraguay are expected to join them in the coming weeks.Chile, whose Palestinian population of about 400,000 is among the largest outside the Arab world, also had been lobbied intensely Israeli representatives.About 100 other countries have recognized statehood — most after Palestinians declared independence in 1988, and a few others, mostly former Soviet republics, did so after the 1993 Oslo peace accords. In recent years, Venezuela (2005) and Costa Rica (2008) also provided recognition.
Israeli officials have reacted to the declarations by calling them meaningless and counterproductive to the peacemaking process.Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki recently told The Associated Press that the aim is to persuade more countries to endorse the 1967 boundaries, before Israel captured the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. We are making efforts so that the rest of the countries will first recognize a Palestinian state in the 67 borders and secondly raise the level of Palestinian diplomatic representation to that of an embassy,he told the AP.But Chile's only mention of borders Friday came in support of Israel, noting that Chile has completely supported the right of the state of Israel to exist within secure and internationally recognized frontiers.Recognizing pre-1967 borders for a Palestinian state could undermine Chile's own position in a dispute over its maritime border with Peru, now before the International Court of Justice in the Hague. Chile maintains that the border was established by treaty after an 1879 war in which Chile seized a large slice of southern Peru and left Bolivia landlocked, and should not now be changed.The government's resolution also noted that both Jewish and Palestinian communities have been key to Chile's social, cultural, political and economic development for many years, working in harmony that should serve as a model for their both the Israeli and Palestinian states. It's a message that Pinera plans to make personally during a visit to the Middle East in March.Associated Press Writers Josef Federman in Jerusalem and Michael Warren in Buenos Aires contributed to this report.
The House shredding machine has started. Let her rip By Laurie Roth JAN 6,11
The grave yard is being prepared and graves for Progressive/Obama Bills dug clear to China. Chop Sticks anyone? The new House, led by visionary and servant John Boehner as speaker, know exactly what they have been commissioned to do and represent. It is frankly, none of the above that we have seen the last 2 years. The American people have passionately spoken, begged, screamed about, marched for and prayed for bold change back to our freedoms, constitution and fiscal responsibility again.This isn’t politics. It is war for control over America.We know by now that this war is a world view clash by socialist/communist Obama, his progressive Democrats and their brazen attack and continued assaults on our Constitution, freedoms, business, international reputation and safety. They have also in warp speed been slaughtering our way of life and Judeo/Christian values.It doesn’t take rocket science to revisit a few decisions by Obama and this administration from the first days in office to see the calculated plan of destruction against America. The first few months in we saw, the reversal of Bush’s Mexico City Policy, which at a time of a rapidly deepening recession, caused us to fund and promote abortions worldwide, not just here. We could hardly take another breath when Obama gave 900 million to the serial killer group, Hamas, who chronically lob missiles at our faithful alley Israel and kill Jews where ever they can.
Moments later, we saw Obama and Hillary practically go on Oprah in emotional and public support of Zelaha, the criminal, wanna be dictator, legally and properly ousted by the people and military leaders of Honduras; We saw him buddy up with Chavez, while throwing practical high 5s to Ahmadinejad, saying he had the right to go nuclear; Remember, the blessed Ahmadinejad, the wanna be Hitler who runs Iran with the Muslim Religious leaders, who doesn’t even believe the Holocaust occurred. He even hosted conferences to that effect, in between coming to America to speak at our Universities and posing at the UN. Ahmadinejad has said many times that he is waiting for the Islamic Madi to come out of the well and rule the world. Apparently, he needs big fiery wars for that to happen. I have said on air many times, if Ahmadinejad is so concerned about the Madi coming out of the well…..why doesn’t he jump in the well and wait for him?
The continued disaster of this administration that must be fixed
Thankfully, this new House is boldly going forward with the repeal, then shredding machine regarding the forced Obama care plan we can’t afford, which rations our care and swipes our freedoms; The START treaty must also be undone. It compromises our national security and ability to lead and respond regarding weapons of mass destruction and must be dealt with quickly and strongly. The reversal of Don’t ask don’t tell changed in a time of war is a total betrayal and compromise to our military when the vast majority of military leaders and soldiers said they did not want this changed.Other total punishment of Americans and incompetent nonsense with this Administration involve the continued TSA intrusions, nudie machines and groping of our breasts and genitals, saying that is our only security option….BULL ROT! Now the FCC is pushing to dramatically and unconstitutionally control the Internet, thus freedom of speech, conservative journals, blogs and Tea Party action are in their view finder.To fix anything state and federal, the people of this country and our voted in leadership have had to first of all get a real vision of who were and who we must be again – Unashamedly, the leader of the free world, strong military – reigned in Government accountable to our people and constitution and Judeo Christian values. We are leaders in enterprise, invention and entertainment, while being helpers to the world as needed.Now, lets lift this banner up, fight where ever we can for the truth and our freedom, fix what we can and must, while carrying the vision of the American people forward.

CHRISTIAN LIFE IN MUSLIM NATIONS - JOHN LOEFFLER
http://britanniaradio.blogspot.com/2011/01/john-loeffler-steel-steel-christian.html#links
ISAIAH 14:12-15
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,(SATAN) son of the morning! (CRECENT MOON-ISLAM) how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
No more Mosques and no Sharia law in America By Laurie Roth JAN 6,11
Sharia law should be banished from any court in America, unless we plan to support beatings and murders. Just one of the many things Sharia law states is that an Islamic person who leaves Islam is now considered apostate and should be killed. Gays should be executed and thieves should have their hand cut off while wives can be beaten for many different reasons by their husbands. Isn’t that splendid.Sharia law is the exact opposite of our US constitution, Judeo Christian values and heritage of respect and freedom. It reads more like an Adolph Hitler rule book, yet that is what Islam’s skeletal, legal and cultural core run by. There is no freedom that I can see anywhere in Islamic countries. It is only an ancient, male controlled Governmental and political system, hiding behind words and structure of a Religion Islam. There is nothing liberating, life enhancing or freedom producing about it. We continue to hear Imams and Muslim apologists talking of the wonders of Islam’s ability to live and breath in safety and pluralism in America. They aren’t hostile to Jews and Christians, yeah other non believers. Yet, when one of our States, Oklahoma votes against Sharia or International law being used within their courts, they are sued and challenged by Muslims and Muslim groups. Shockingly, Judge Vicki-LaGrange said the overwhelming elections against using Sharia would be suspended, pending a hearing, where she would hear arguments against the vote, then make a decision. What is not to understand? The vast majority of Oklahomans voted against using Sharia. How is that not clear?
Let us talk of more pluralistic and open minded Muslim moments. We saw the near successful car bomb in Times square a few months back; Christmas 2009 we saw the underwear, Islamic bomber nearly blow up a plane on Christmas; Before that we saw the Fort Hood Islamic killer wipe out 14 people at Ft. Hood. The threats and attacks have been non stop since 2001. In the meantime, we see law suits against Oklahomans and a Judge blocking a law the vast majority of the people put in place against the nightmare of Sharia. Frankly, the whole country and every court system in it should banish Sharia law period. On top of all this idiotic drama we hear the endless push and movement to build the 13 story Islamic center at ground zero. Naturally we hear the pluralistic and multi religious emphasis that will represent the presented core of this internationalist and pluralistic effort. There is only one teensy weensy problem. That is a lie from the pit of hell. The only Religion that will be pushed on New York and the world is Islam. There will be no Synagogue and Lutheran Church hidden within its many floors. If allowed, this will be nothing more then an attractant for all radicalized Muslims worldwide, a training center for terrorism in America and a major flip off of the middle finger to all of Americans, Christians and Jews.It will be a celebration of the attack on 9/11 again and again like the movie Groundhog Day. Apparently that is what many compromised 50 yard liners, who believe we have gotten what we deserved from Islamics, want.
I couldn’t help but notice yet again, another brazen slaughter of Christians leaving a service on January 1st in Egypt. 21 Christian Coptics were murdered leaving a new year’s mass while 90 were injured. The cowardly and lying media manipulated the presented news of this horrific act of Islamic terrorism. Many in the headline news said the attack was against Muslims and Jews, thus hiding the truth, which was all murdered and injured were Christians not Muslims. It was nothing but another boring, murderous jihad against Christians or Jews, nothing else. It even gets richer when looking at some of the Arabic news media. According to Newsmax.com, Almesryoon.com (Arabic news) said the Coptic worshipers are “supported by Israeli Mossad’ and that was behind this attack. Apparently, this contrived and promoted fantasy would justify to the Arabs and rest of the world that the Coptic Christians brought the murders on themselves…..no…..the killings…….no the righteous, Muhammad directed executions…..yes. They were infidels who deserved to die.I have interviews IQ Al-Rasooli, a native born Iraqi, Arabic speaking intellectual, raised Muslim, who has found in exhaustive studies of the Koran, Hadith and going back only into Islamic documents and Arabic sources, that Islam is absolutely false and most dangerous. He has written 780 chapters of his book/thesis and challenges with huge cash awards, any Islamic anywhere, anytime to refute even one word of what he says and writes as untrue. No one has tried or been able to collect his large rewards. He continues to wait.
IQ told me of the extreme and unreported persecution against Christians all through Muslim countries, especially in his home country, Iraq and throughout the Middle East. Churches are regularly attacked and burned to the ground. Worshipers, as in Egypt on January 1, 2011 are murdered and their deaths manipulated and minimized. Sharia Law won’t even allow Christians to fix or repair their church structures and buildings, while regulating and controlling them out of existence. Those that survive the madness and overt hostility, taxation and control are eventually attacked or run out of town.Regardless of what you may think of Islam’s ability to live in a pluralistic and open way in America with Christians, non believers and Jews, the facts are still the facts. Their Holy Books call their followers to attack and kill the Infidels, separate and dominate where they can. They continue to push the unconstitutional, freedom bashing Sharia law where ever they can, while we walk swiftly to our demise while talking of their endless rights.America is battling global elitists, socialist/communists but also Islamic fundamentalists who hide behind silent Jihad violent Jihad peace and persecuted minority status.In my view it is most clear. We should allow zero more Mosques to be built in America, nor Islamic centers or schools, especially funded by the radical money of Saudi Arabia, Egypt or any other Muslim regime. They are surrounding and infiltrating America from within just as they have planned. We must not let them! If they want to build any more Mosques, we should have a formula of one to one. For every Mosque backed by Arab money built in America, we get a paid for Christian church built in a major Muslim city in the Middle East, with security.I’m all for differences and varied Religious opinions in our free country. I am not for playing the dangerous board game of Islamic Pretend hiding behind the flash cards of pluralism,Islamic persecution and freedom of religion.

G20 to tackle food prices as countries reassure
By Kim Yeonhee Kim Yeonhee – JAN 7,11
SEOUL (Reuters) – The world's biggest economies are working to find ways to bring down soaring food prices, a G20 official said on Friday, as top exporter Thailand vowed to keep rice supply steady and avert a repeat of the 2008 food crisis.Global food prices hit a record high last month, outstripping the levels that sparked riots in several countries in 2008, and key grains could rise further, the United Nations' food agency said this week.Policymakers are concerned that, if unchecked, rising food prices could stoke inflation, protectionism and unrest.High food prices and unemployment were blamed for a second day of rioting in Algeria Friday with police deployed around mosques and authorities suspending football matches.Rhee Chang-yong, who represents South Korea at the G20, said working-group talks were under way aimed at improving global cooperation to resolve food security problems.France is emphasizing food security. As a former host country of G20, we would like to deal with the price volatility problem thoroughly, Rhee said.French President Nicolas Sarkozy has asked the World Bank to conduct urgent research on the impact of food prices, a source familiar with the matter said.French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said this week that one of France's priorities at the G20, where it holds the rotating presidency, was to find a collective response to excessive volatility in prices of food and energy.One concern is that high food prices could hit consumer spending in fast-growing emerging countries that are leading the revival of the global economy.
CEREAL PRICES UP IN 2010
Last year, wheat futures prices rose 47 percent, buoyed by bad weather including drought in Russia and its Black Sea neighbors. U.S. corn rose more than 50 percent and U.S. soybeans jumped 34 percent.The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said in a report Wednesday that sugar and meat prices were at their highest since its records began in 1990. For wheat, rice, corn and other cereals, prices were at their highest since the 2008 crisis.During that crisis, riots broke out in countries from Egypt to Haiti. Import prices jumped, forcing many countries' trade balances into a deep and costly deficit, and several governments in Asia imposed export restrictions on rice.The U.N.'s World Food Program (WFP), which was feeding some 100 million people last year, noted that cereals including rice had not hit 2008 price peaks, but that sugar and cooking oil were pushing up the food index.We're ready to step up assistance specifically to countries that are vulnerable to these high prices, especially focusing also on risks to children, WFP spokeswoman Emilia Casella told a news briefing in Geneva.She said a fairly good harvest in a number of African countries in the past year had helped, and that reserves were higher than in the 2008 crisis while fuel prices, which affect fertilizer and the transport of food, were lower.Robert Prior-Wandesforde, an economist at Credit Suisse in Singapore, said food commodity prices were unlikely to rise much further, barring weather catastrophes.The estimated global and exporting countries' stock-to-use ratios of both wheat and rice are considerably higher today than in 2007-08, making shortages and drastic export bans unlikely,he said in a report. But the London-based venture capital firm Emergent Asset Management, which holds swathes of land across southern Africa, still sees much more mileage in food prices.The world is still in denial about food prices, its chief investment officer, David Murran, told Reuters.If you look at demographics, if you look at production, if you look at the impact of climate change, then we are only at the beginning of this.
CHILIS, RICE AND ONIONS
Many countries, including Brazil, India and China, have seen food inflation jump to double digit levels. Inflation rates accelerated across Latin America in December as costs spiked for food, increasing pressure on policymakers to raise interest rates. Prices rose sharply for Mexican tortillas and Chilean beef last month, while Brazilian bean costs surged over 2010. China has imposed price controls to try to ensure stable prices for consumers. On Friday, Ethiopia announced similar measures.
Thailand, the world's biggest rice exporter, sought to reassure the market, with Commerce Minister Porntiva Nakasai telling reporters it would maintain 2011 exports at 9 to 9.5 million tonnes after shipping 9 million in 2010.The Philippines, the world's biggest buyer of rice, said it would cut its 2011 imports by at least half, compared with record purchases in 2010, further easing concerns of a tight rice market this year.Still, the head of the National Food Authority, which oversees rice imports, said it might increase its buffer stock to cover a minimum 40 days of demand, from 30 now.A senior food official in Bangladesh said it was worried about food security and had imported 250,000 tonnes of rice from Vietnam.In Indonesia, which has the world's fourth-largest population, a fivefold rise in the price of chillies in the past year has helped drive overall inflation to near 7 percent.
Farmers are operating around-the-clock patrols to protect their chili plants and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has urged households to plant chillies in their gardens.In India, where onion prices have triggered protests in the past, prices have jumped after weather damaged the crop and officials have opened talks with Pakistan about resuming imports.(Additional reporting by CJ Kuncheria in New Delhi, Aaron Maasho in Addis Ababa, Erik dela Cruz in Manila, Apornrath Phoonphongphiphat in Bangkok, Ruma Paul in Dhaka, Rieka Rahadiana, Aditya Suharmoko and Telly Nathalia in Jakarta; Stephanie Nebehay in Geneva, Peter Apps in London, Emmanuel Jarry in Paris, Jason Lange in Mexico City, Denise Luna and Elzio Barreto in Rio de Janeiro, Antonio de la Jara and Brad Haynes in Santiago; Editing by Daniel Magnowski, Jason Neely and Kevin Liffey)

Winter storm bringing more snow to blizzard-weary North
By Ellen Wulfhorst – Fri Jan 7, 2:19 pm ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Snow fell across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast states on Friday, bringing several inches of fresh accumulation to a region that has scarcely dug out from the Christmas weekend blizzard.The latest winter storm will drop snow from the Great Lakes east to the Atlantic seaboard and New England throughout Friday and into early Saturday, forecasters said.The Northeast could see one to five inches of snow from Maryland north into Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut, forecasters said. Two to four inches accumulation was likely in New York City, they said.One to three inches were forecast for Philadelphia, Wilmington and Atlantic City, according to Accuweather.com.Accuweather.com senior meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said Northeast weather would feature a great deal of little storm systems or disturbances running around through the weekend.Pretty much anybody in the Northeast is fair game for a sneak attack from a coating of snow into Sunday, he said. It is almost like atmospheric guerrilla warfare.While not as powerful as the late December blast, this storm was snarling travel, with delays of nearly three hours inbound for LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International airports and slightly less at Newark Liberty International.
Further west, snow showers swept across southwestern Pennsylvania overnight.I couldn't get my car out of my driveway this morning, said Robert Kimble, a construction worker waiting for a bus in Pittsburgh. Too much snow.The storm was not likely to approach the scale of the Christmas weekend blizzard, however, which pummeled the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. That storm dropped some 20 inches of snow in New York City, where many streets went unplowed for days and trains, buses and subways ground to a halt.A federal and several local investigations have been launched to determine why the cleanup was slow and inefficient, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg has vowed the city will be better prepared and more efficient this time around.On Tuesday or Wednesday, a big coastal storm was likely to arrive off the East Coast, the National Weather Service said.The South will get its latest wintry blast over the weekend, said Mark Avery, lead meteorologist for The Weather Channel, with some significant snow accumulations.The wintry side of this storm will really begin to show up on Sunday, Avery said. Snow is expected from Arkansas into the western Carolinas, with accumulating snow possible in northern parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.A winter storm was expected as well over the central Plains, with snow in Wyoming, Montana, the Dakotas and Nebraska, moving east toward Missouri, forecasters said.In the West, dense fog and smog plagued the Wasatch Front in heavily populated areas of Utah on Friday.It's been a problem most of the week, the smog, patchy dense fog in the lower valleys, said meteorologist Mike Conger with the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City.
Snow was accumulating in northern Utah, and a cold front was aiming for the state as well, which should bring some relief in terms of the air quality, officials said.
In Washington state, a cold front was blowing in from the Pacific Ocean. Three to four inches of new snow were anticipated at Snoqualmie Pass, a thoroughfare to Seattle from eastern Washington, on Friday.(Reporting by Laura Myers in Seattle, James Nelson in Salt Lake City and Daniel Lovering in Pittsburgh, Editing by Jerry Norton and Greg McCune)
Flooded-out Australians go home to mud, mess, rain
– Fri Jan 7, 8:28 am ET
BRISBANE, Australia – Residents of waterlogged northeast Australia returned to homes caked in sludge and nervously watched the skies for more rain Friday while waiting for swollen rivers to recede.The worst appeared to have passed from flooding that covered an area the size of France and Germany in murky brown water for longer than a week, but torrents still posed dangers in partly-submerged towns in Queensland state and progress on assessing damage and rebuilding was slow.On Friday, police banned boats from the swollen river coursing through the city of Rockhampton that is expected to remain near its peak for another 10 days.The scope of the damage is not yet known, and fully repairing all of the infrastructure washed away or ruined could take years, the army general heading recovery efforts said.We still don't know what it looks like underwater, Maj. Gen. Mick Slater told reporters in Rockhampton, where people for days have waded through water that was waist-deep in places. Major roads, rail lines and bridges are all damaged, but we don't know yet how much.
Australia's worst flooding in some 50 years was caused by tropical rains that fell for days, starting just before Christmas. Some 1,200 homes in 40 communities were inundated and almost 11,000 more have water damage. Nearly 4,000 people were evacuated, and police have reported 10 deaths in swollen rivers or floodwaters in Queensland since late November.The flooding shut some 40 coal mines in the state, pushing up global prices, and has hurt wheat, mango, sugarcane and other crops. State Premier Anna Bligh has said the price of rebuilding homes, businesses and infrastructure, coupled with economic losses, could be as high as $5 billion.Heavy rain fell Friday and could last through the weekend, the Bureau of Meteorology said. The rains aren't expected to increase flooding but could delay recovery and prolong the crisis.The news for those in flooded areas Friday ranged from good, to bad, to little change at all.Some of the 150 people of Condamine drove home in a convoy on Thursday for the first time since military helicopters helped evacuate everyone on Dec. 30 before a swollen river swamped the cattle-ranch supply town.Nothing does justice to the devastation you come back to; it's just phenomenal, said pub owner Shane Hickey.Everything is gone. The water just took everything with it.All the grass is mud, all the plants have been torn out of the ground, the trees have gone over and are just covered in silt and mud,he said.
The town has no drinking water, and Mayor Ray Brown said electricians, plumbers, portable toilets and water and food were being brought in.Farther south, people in St. George were watching floodwaters inch higher by the hour on the earth-and-sandbag levees they rushed to build around homes. The flood peak was forecast lower, meaning fewer than 30 homes in the town of some 2,500 people were at risk.In Rockhampton, the largest community hit, the floodwaters peaked two days ago but were steady Friday after inundating large parts of the city of 75,000 people. Small motorboats have replaced cars as the main way to get around in the worst-hit suburbs.
Police declared a no-go zone for boats on a section of the flooded Fitzroy River because live power lines hung too close to the water.Traveling through the floodwaters at this location is extremely dangerous due to low-lying power lines, said Inspector Peter Flanders. It is important that the power to the Rockhampton sewerage treatment plant remains switched on.

New Israeli military technology speeds up warfare By BEN HUBBARD, Associated Press - JAN 7,11
SHIVTA ARTILLERY TRAINING SCHOOL, Israel – Intense winds scraped sand from the desert floor, clouding the view and leaving the Israeli soldiers scarcely able to see each other as they practiced blasting artillery shells at distant targets.In a nearby armored vehicle, commanders armed with small screens could easily monitor every cannon, jeep and target involved, ordering strikes with the tap of a finger. Their weapon: a sophisticated communication system that compiles battlefield information in an easy-to-use, video game-like map interface, helping militaries make sense of the chaos of battle.The Associated Press was given rare access to the exercise by a military eager to reclaim some of the deterrence it held in the region when technologically inferior Arab armies were the main threat against it.That deterrence has eroded in recent times, as guerrilla warfare became more prominent and left conventional armies — here as elsewhere — looking clumsy and vulnerable.
In a monthlong war in 2006, Lebanese guerrillas with relatively simple rockets knocked out Israeli tanks, and Israel's high-tech military was powerless to stop a barrage of primitive, unguided Katyusha rockets on northern Israel.The latest computerized gadgetry is designed to knock down the military's response time. Troops on the ground can add new targets as soon as they spot them — like militants on foot, a rocket squad or a vehicle — to the network for commanders to see instantly and hit.Strikes that used to take 20 or more minutes to coordinate now take just seconds, said Maj. Hagai Ben-Shushan, head of the C4I section for Israel's artillery. It doesn't take much, then shells are going to the target, he said.Israel is among several nations harnessing digital and satellite technology to develop C4I systems — short for command, control, communications, computers and intelligence — that integrate battlefield information.The goal is to have all the elements of a force ... seeing the same tactical picture, and you can move information from one to the other completely seamlessly, said Britain-based Giles Ebbutt, who studies such systems for Jane's Information Group.C4I systems are operational in the United States, which started development in the 1990s, as well as France, Singapore, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy, among other countries, Ebbutt said.Israel's version — being developed over the past decade or so — is a little bit further down the road than some people ... because they have a focus on the problem, they are constantly operationally alert, and they need to be as operationally developed as they can, Ebbutt said.
The army says it started using the first, basic version in 2005, but it did not include all units and functions. The latest, completed in 2009 and in training since last March, allows all forces on the ground to communicate instantaneously.Visually, now everything is on the map, so it's much easier to coordinate, said the battalion commander whose men were being trained. You can easily understand the map and the position of forces.He spoke on condition of anonymity under military rules.On a stretch of sand near the army base at Shivta, deep in Israel's southern Negev desert, six artillery cannon stood with their barrels aimed at targets about 4 miles (6 kilometers) away. Commanders in a nearby armored vehicle stared at two screens, watching all movement on an interactive satellite map.Pink squares marked each cannon, dotted lines of shell trajectory extended from their barrels and circles showed the expected blast radius of any shells fired.Different symbols marked other army vehicles, their locations kept up to date with GPS-like devices. All the vehicles carried similar screens, giving soldiers a realtime map of the battlefield.
One soldier demonstrates how to add a new target to the map: A tap on the screen places it, then he can describe its size and character.Seeing the target, a commander can then order a strike with a few more taps, deciding who will fire and how much. The order immediately appears on those units' screens. The system's newest version, built by Israeli defense contractor Elbit, has yet to be battle-tested, but Israel used an earlier one in its Gaza offensive two years ago, Ben-Shushan said.
That war, launched to stop militant rocket fire on Israeli towns, killed about 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis. Four of the 10 Israeli soldiers were killed by friendly fire, but Col. Gil Maoz, head of Israel's Digital Army program, said the technology helped to prevent other Israeli fatalities.Israel had only an early version of the system during its war with the Lebanese militia Hezbollah in 2006, which killed about 1,200 Lebanese and 160 Israelis. An Israeli investigation into the war, which was widely seen as a failure, criticized the inability of commanders to relay key information to the field.Maoz said having the system then could have lowered the Israeli death toll.Elbit spokeswoman Dalia Rosen said that what sets the Israeli system apart from others is the ease with which it allows land, naval and air forces to communicate with each other and its ability to link everyone from rank-and-file soldiers in the field to the highest commanders.She said Australia purchased Elbit communications technology for its own battle management system in a deal last year valued at $298 million.Associated Press writer Josef Federman contributed reporting.

Chile says it recognizes a Palestinian state By Eva Vergara, Associated Press – JAN 7,11
SANTIAGO, Chile – Chile recognized Palestinian statehood on Friday, joining other South American nations in a push for Palestinians and Israelis to keep negotiating toward a lasting peace in the Middle East.Foreign Minister Alfredo Moreno says Chile is following U.N. resolutions with its decision to recognize the existence of the state of Palestine as a free, independent and sovereign state, coexisting in peace with the State of Israel.Chile's decision follows a meeting in Brazil between Chilean President Sebastian Pinera and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who has been lobbying his counterparts to show their support. Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia and Ecuador recognized Palestinian statehood last month, and Uruguay and Paraguay are expected to join them in the coming weeks.Chile, whose Palestinian population of about 400,000 is among the largest outside the Arab world, also had been lobbied intensely Israeli representatives.About 100 other countries have recognized statehood — most after Palestinians declared independence in 1988, and a few others, mostly former Soviet republics, did so after the 1993 Oslo peace accords. In recent years, Venezuela (2005) and Costa Rica (2008) also provided recognition.
Israeli officials have reacted to the declarations by calling them meaningless and counterproductive to the peacemaking process.Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki recently told The Associated Press that the aim is to persuade more countries to endorse the 1967 boundaries, before Israel captured the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. We are making efforts so that the rest of the countries will first recognize a Palestinian state in the 67 borders and secondly raise the level of Palestinian diplomatic representation to that of an embassy,he told the AP.But Chile's only mention of borders Friday came in support of Israel, noting that Chile has completely supported the right of the state of Israel to exist within secure and internationally recognized frontiers.Recognizing pre-1967 borders for a Palestinian state could undermine Chile's own position in a dispute over its maritime border with Peru, now before the International Court of Justice in the Hague. Chile maintains that the border was established by treaty after an 1879 war in which Chile seized a large slice of southern Peru and left Bolivia landlocked, and should not now be changed.The government's resolution also noted that both Jewish and Palestinian communities have been key to Chile's social, cultural, political and economic development for many years, working in harmony that should serve as a model for their both the Israeli and Palestinian states. It's a message that Pinera plans to make personally during a visit to the Middle East in March.Associated Press Writers Josef Federman in Jerusalem and Michael Warren in Buenos Aires contributed to this report.
The House shredding machine has started. Let her rip By Laurie Roth JAN 6,11
The grave yard is being prepared and graves for Progressive/Obama Bills dug clear to China. Chop Sticks anyone? The new House, led by visionary and servant John Boehner as speaker, know exactly what they have been commissioned to do and represent. It is frankly, none of the above that we have seen the last 2 years. The American people have passionately spoken, begged, screamed about, marched for and prayed for bold change back to our freedoms, constitution and fiscal responsibility again.This isn’t politics. It is war for control over America.We know by now that this war is a world view clash by socialist/communist Obama, his progressive Democrats and their brazen attack and continued assaults on our Constitution, freedoms, business, international reputation and safety. They have also in warp speed been slaughtering our way of life and Judeo/Christian values.It doesn’t take rocket science to revisit a few decisions by Obama and this administration from the first days in office to see the calculated plan of destruction against America. The first few months in we saw, the reversal of Bush’s Mexico City Policy, which at a time of a rapidly deepening recession, caused us to fund and promote abortions worldwide, not just here. We could hardly take another breath when Obama gave 900 million to the serial killer group, Hamas, who chronically lob missiles at our faithful alley Israel and kill Jews where ever they can.
Moments later, we saw Obama and Hillary practically go on Oprah in emotional and public support of Zelaha, the criminal, wanna be dictator, legally and properly ousted by the people and military leaders of Honduras; We saw him buddy up with Chavez, while throwing practical high 5s to Ahmadinejad, saying he had the right to go nuclear; Remember, the blessed Ahmadinejad, the wanna be Hitler who runs Iran with the Muslim Religious leaders, who doesn’t even believe the Holocaust occurred. He even hosted conferences to that effect, in between coming to America to speak at our Universities and posing at the UN. Ahmadinejad has said many times that he is waiting for the Islamic Madi to come out of the well and rule the world. Apparently, he needs big fiery wars for that to happen. I have said on air many times, if Ahmadinejad is so concerned about the Madi coming out of the well…..why doesn’t he jump in the well and wait for him?
The continued disaster of this administration that must be fixed
Thankfully, this new House is boldly going forward with the repeal, then shredding machine regarding the forced Obama care plan we can’t afford, which rations our care and swipes our freedoms; The START treaty must also be undone. It compromises our national security and ability to lead and respond regarding weapons of mass destruction and must be dealt with quickly and strongly. The reversal of Don’t ask don’t tell changed in a time of war is a total betrayal and compromise to our military when the vast majority of military leaders and soldiers said they did not want this changed.Other total punishment of Americans and incompetent nonsense with this Administration involve the continued TSA intrusions, nudie machines and groping of our breasts and genitals, saying that is our only security option….BULL ROT! Now the FCC is pushing to dramatically and unconstitutionally control the Internet, thus freedom of speech, conservative journals, blogs and Tea Party action are in their view finder.To fix anything state and federal, the people of this country and our voted in leadership have had to first of all get a real vision of who were and who we must be again – Unashamedly, the leader of the free world, strong military – reigned in Government accountable to our people and constitution and Judeo Christian values. We are leaders in enterprise, invention and entertainment, while being helpers to the world as needed.Now, lets lift this banner up, fight where ever we can for the truth and our freedom, fix what we can and must, while carrying the vision of the American people forward.

Fish & Bird kills: are we getting answers or being placated?
By Douglas J. Hagmann
7 January 2011: Readers looking for reassuring evidence that the recent massive die offs of fish and birds will find comfort in knowing that such events are historically not all that uncommon. Weather, pollution, parasites and disease are reported as the major culprits behind such events, even as reported yesterday by Glenn Beck. That appears to be the safe, middle-of-the-road explanation. It might even be the correct explanation. But what if it’s not? Also, why are we treated with absurd explanations by our government when the truth, if it is indeed the truth, would be more convincing? The official government explanation for public consumption, as reported by the corporate media, is that the massive bird kill in Arkansas was the result of loud noises created by New Year’s celebratory fireworks. Spooked and disoriented by the loud noises created by the fireworks, some 5,000 red wing blackbirds were roused from their resting positions and flew into one another and other stationary objects, causing massive blunt force trauma to their internal organs, killing them and causing them to rain from the sky like something out of a Stephen King Novel.
In the event you remain unconvinced, veteran bird curator at the Smithsonian Greg Graves has gone on record, saying that the significance of the event has been exaggerated and the massive die off is not such a big deal. Sure enough, as about 163 such events are reported on an annual basis, although most seem to fly under the radar due to location and other factors (pun intended).About the blackbirds, Graves stated that [t]The blackbirds are considered a nuisance, especially in the south where large winter roosts occur. In large numbers, they can be noisy, messy and destructive, much like those of us who are in the general unanointed population. (Okay, I added that last portion of the sentence for effect).As to the estimated 100,000 fish found dead within days of the bird deaths just 125 miles away in the Arkansas River, and another 500 blackbirds found dead in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, those incidents could be completely unrelated, noted Mr. Graves. That sentiment was echoed by government officials as well.Before dismissing the concerns of us regular folks by citing statistics and general causes, however, shouldn’t we be getting answers that are specific to the latest series of incidents? Or at least have someone asking direct and specific questions instead of relying on anecdotal evidence? After all, we are supposedly at war, and our enemy has made it clear their intent to use biological and chemical weapons. If that is indeed a legitimate threat, doesn’t it make sense to know the truth before shrugging the events off to natural happenstance?
Possible national security implications
After receiving several e-mails about this matter, including one from a soldier with extensive biological and chemical experience currently serving in Iraq, I thought it was time to begin conducting my own investigation. After all, Janet Napolitano is currently busy assisting American troops with reinforcement of the border (between Pakistan and Afghanistan, that is). Perhaps that is the reason that I could find no one in the media posing any direct questions to the Department of Homeland Security about biological or chemical concerns. As I already noted, others are simply relying on anecdotal evidence to support their conclusions that there is nothing to see here.The first thing I learned, which at first blush supports the historical evidence, is that strange animal deaths en masse have been reported over the years for reasons that one would not ordinarily expect. There have been reports of flying fish and raining frogs, for example, that were legitimately traced to nearby tornado activity. Not everything is a conspiracy. Odd, yes, but neither nefarious nor completely inexplicable.The second thing I learned is much more disconcerting. Uncomfortable with merely relying on statistics, I thought I would pose specific questions about the recent wildlife deaths to the very agency within our government that was created to protect us from threats within our homeland. What I found was troublesome and makes me believe they are not doing their job, at least not in this instance.Shortly after 9:00 this morning, I called the Department of Homeland Security office in Washington, and the DHS Threat Fusion Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which covers Arkansas. I introduced myself and my purpose for calling, which was to verify that the Department of Homeland Security has an open investigation into the two incidents involving the bird and fish deaths in Arkansas, given what we know about the current bio-chemical threats to the U.S.
At both locations, I was greeted by pleasant individuals who promptly sent me into telephone transfer hell, and finally to a male DHS agent at the latter location who declined to give his name to the media. It was that office and that person I needed to speak with, I was assured by DHS-HQ.When asked if the Department of Homeland Security is investigating or assisting in the investigation of the two incidents, he stated that the DHS is aware of the incidents but not involved in any capacity. None.
The following is a verbatim transcript of my conversation with the DHS official after being told of the purpose of my contact and providing a proper introduction, and after the official denying any DHS involvement in the matter.Investigative oversight? I asked. No, came the reply.Well, isn’t it possible that the deaths could be, however remote, the result of the release of a chemical or biological agent? I asked.It’s highly unlikely, very doubtful, he replied.How do you know? Have you been in contact with anyone engaged in the necropsies of the birds or fish? I asked.
Uh, no,he replied.Well. if you’re not involved in the investigation in any capacity, how do you know? I pressed.We would know, came his reply.Okay, my last question, sir. Would you know if the deaths could be from any action of the U.S. military, such as the Dugway sheep incident back in the late ’60′s? Or would you be informed of-At that point, he interrupted me, saying: This has nothing to do with the military and is not a matter under DHS review.Our conversation concluded at that point. Clearly, he was becoming agitated by my continuing questions. Before hanging up, I again asked him for his name for the purpose of this article, but he declined citing the same reason.
Research of significant incidents
After combing through numerous news articles and contacting several wildlife agencies, I confirmed that over the last few years, there have been several significant incidents involving the strange or large number of deaths of wildlife in the U.S. and elsewhere. Some can be attributed to the nature of things. Others, well, perhaps not.On 26 July 2002, for example, Paul Sperry reported that during the 18 months previous to that article, health officials in Washington, DC found 407 dead birds infected with the West Nile virus, including two that were picked up at the White House. The method of infection of West Nile into the bird population of the U.S., and specifically into the DC birds themselves, has never been satisfactorily explained.On 21 December 2007, several dozen birds described as a flock of Purple Martins fell from the sky over New York City. Many were found scattered across Staten Island, either falling from the sky or landing, then fall over and begin to twitch and flap as they died. This incident is particularly significant by the very graphic nature of actual amateur video taken of one of the birds after it fell to the ground. Aside from the fact that the birds should have been long gone from that area, the video is clearly indicative of something other than anecdotal evidence that nothing is amiss.
I was surprised by the number of recent wildlife deaths and compiled a list of significant incidents at the end of this article. I also found it interesting the similarities between previous unexplained incidents and those being reported now. For example, on 8 January 2007, Esperance, a town near Perth in Western Australia, was declared a natural disaster area after several hundred birds dropped dead out of the sky and onto people’s lawns over a wide area. At about the same time and halfway around the world, the streets in Austin, Texas were closed as officials cleaned up hundreds of dead birds that also inexplicably fell dead from the sky. To date, neither incident has been sufficiently explained. According to the Australian report, some birds were observed convulsing on the ground before they died.Nothing out of the ordinary? Perhaps another look at the video from Staten Island might be in order.The reports today appear similar in nature. It’s easy to dismiss the incidents as freaks of nature, or insisting, without evidence, that there is nothing to see here as many are.Although the entirety of massive kills listed below could have innocuous explanations, I believe that we deserve to know the truth. We deserve better from our investigative agencies, making sure that they are on top of things, while making sure that they are not merely the domestic authoritative arms for global restructuring.Based on my research, I doubt that we will be told the whole truth behind each of these deaths, unless, of course, someday, someone, releases a report like the 1994 GAO accounting of the Dugway sheep kill incident. By then, though, will it matter? I sense that if we continue to accept the inane explanations, fail to ask questions, or continue on our path of blissful ignorance, it is us who might become the next statistic.

Magnetic Shift? 8,000 Dead Birds Now in Italy
Friday, 07 January 2011
Thousands of dead turtle doves rained down on roofs and cars in an Italian town in the latest in a growing spate of mass animal deaths across the globe.Residents in Faenza described the birds falling to the ground like 'little Christmas balls' with strange blue stains on their beaks.Initial tests on up to 8,000 of the doves indicated that the blue stain could have been caused by poisoning or hypoxia.A witness emailed MINA: We have no idea why this happened all of a sudden.The doves just started falling one-by-one then in groups of 10s and 20s.Hypoxia, a lack of oxygen, is known to cause confusion and illness in animals. It is also a common precursor to altitude sickness.Experts said results from tests on the doves will not be available for at least a week.They said that cold weather could have caused the birds' deaths as the flock was swept into a high-altitude wind storm before falling to the earth.It comes after two million dead fish were found to have washed up on shores in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland.Scientists believe a rapid movement of Magnetic North Pole towards Russia may have caused bird deaths.
How The Earth (and Life) May End: The Unseen Killer of Polar shift
Submitted by Paul Schroeder on Thu, 12/16/2010 - 11:23
Some say the World will end in a bang; others say the Earth will die in a whisper.
The planet that we live on is dependently grateful for the living light of its only sun.But this light that gives us life will soon turn against us.A planetary magnetic pole shift, episodic, less stable, is in the works, already forming new magnetic realignments on this Earth.Rather than South becoming North in a flash, a total pole reversal of magnetic North and South which happens every 5,000 years can fully shift in as few as five years.Pockets of migrating magnetic South areas and pockets of migrating magnetic North areas drift towards each other's pole with force field pockets of North and South schematically looking like huge jellyfish.This unspoken and under announced shift poses an unseen and treacherous threat for our planet's life.With that shift now in transit the real danger exists that Earth will be exposed to solar flares; we may see the extinction of many animal and some plant life species on Earth, lost to slow radiation poisoning.Unlike our nebulous plans for vectoring away an asteroid's arrival on Earth with space effort technologies, there is precious little that we can do to avert this impending planetary disaster, so the threat stays a secret.Besides, aren't we much too concerned with terrorism and financial conundrums right now to worry our heads about North and South!?
The Earth's magnetic field is the shield that protects this planet from our sun's deadly solar flares and from lethal space and supernovae radiations.The colors of the auroras in the skies at poles ends are the visible interaction between these two forces.As the Earth's magnetic field confronts the sun's flare radiations, the Earth protects us; our sky's dark night shades become luminescent colors in Auroras Borealis that ebb and wane in a gorgeous visual electrical magnetic display of that protection. But the signs of polar shifting already in the works are now showing some clearer signs of the impending danger to us.Most revealingly, and not coincidentally, Auroras Borealis flares can now often be seen in the night skies as far south as Alabama.More signs of this potentially lethal planetary magnetic shift, have been evident in the migration confusion of some fish, some no shows of certain migrating butterflies and other migrating creatures who use the Earth's magnetic fields to locate over great distances. Animals who are extremely sensitive to solar energy like some species of frogs as well as many newts and salamanders have virtually and quietly vanished.Honey bees which pollinate every vegetable and fruit tree the world over, have also been crippled by their inability to geo-navigate and with their insect directional equipment suddenly askew, they experience hive desertions and colony deaths frequently prevail.Einstein once said ;Without bees, mankind would starve to death in four years.This electrical-magnetic planetary shield's shift has caused a marked increase in skin cancers all over the world especially in the last few years.Although the clear observable circular hole above the poles caused by ozone depletion by fluorocarbons is a dangerous hole, a magnetic flux from pole reversal would create a plethora and abundance of much larger holes in the planet's shield.
Unlike the gargantuan geologic time frames evident in Earth changes, a major magnetic shift of fully reversed polarities can likely occur in just a few year's time.Only a few - quietly ignored by the world press-scientists are raising an alarm and we, in America, like most of the world's nations who are distracted, pay the nightmarish scientific implications little heed and attention.This in progress and soon to greatly increase planetary magnetic shift may oddly explain why UFO / alien encounters and abductions appear to be so perfunctory; rather than friendly galactic greetings, the feel of expedient salvage work prevails instead. It may well shed some light onto our government's preoccupation with incessant and ferverish digging, building many very deep underground networks and bases. Only deeply dug underground facilities would totally afford protection from the sun's killing flare radiations. The obvious scenarios depict that planetary magnetic shifts give large windows of full exposure to places on the Earth to deadly space and solar radiation.Fifty X-rays of 500 roentgens dose equivalent per day would cause worldwide leukemias and cancers to exposed / uninformed populaces and result in planetary decimation.
Although there seems to be as yet no definitive scientific archeological evidence that supports that sudden mass extinctions are tied to Earth's planetary magnetic reversals, one must recall that mankind, 50,000 years ago lived more IN the Earth than ON the Earth.The Earth's very oldest known written texts are in the Hindi language and date from about eight to nine thousand years ago.The second oldest known writing dates back to almost 3,000 years ago and is the Gilgamesh.Mankind, the race of men who lived 50,000 years ago, left behind no manmade ruins or written hints about any designed structural architecture.They appear not to have lived in above ground dwellings; most tribes and small hunting communities are believed to have lived burrowed into cliffs, communal caves and shallow caverns well sheltered from the sun's X-RAY blazing of minutes then hours of lethal radiation with regular frequency during magnetic readjustment of Earth's poles.
We, as today's humans are apt to suffer exquisitely.When solar flares reach the Earth and are not vectored off, all in flight and on the ground electronic equipment will fail.A global failure in all cell phones, computers, satellites, radios and televisions will isolate us from each other.Worse, power grids already fragile will fail for months and without power and without water(the pumps are electrically operated) for many months, civilization as we know it will collapse.Instead of life on the Earth ending with the proverbial bang, this event could with a suitable stretch of imagination be a silent killer that could do us in, with whispers.
Dead birds litter Quebec farm Its not a biblical curse. It's not a death ray from an alien spaceship, expert says Last Updated: Friday, January 7, 2011 | 2:36 PM ET .CBC News
In the last two weeks, some 80 dead pigeons have been found dead on a farm in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, west of Quebec city. (CBC) A farmer in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures has found about 80 dead pigeons on his farm 20 kilometres west of Quebec City.Sylvain Turmel first noticed the dead birds in his field on Dec. 18.I found two dead birds in the morning, which is normal, birds sometimes die, he said.But when I came back one hour later, another 25 had fallen, said Turmel.In the time it took me to pick them up, five more fell to the ground! Turmel called police and the fire department. They couldn't provide him with any answers, but he said while they were there, more birds fell to their deaths.He said wildlife officials with Quebec's Ministry of Natural Resources collected the birds for analysis but they are also stumped.Farmer Sylvain Turmel in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Que., picks up a dead pigeon Friday. All they can tell me is that it's not avian influenza, it's not the West Nile virus, and it's not poison, which is what officials suspected at first.It won't stop. I'm finding more [dead] birds every day.Turmel said that after they fall the pigeons usually remain on the ground for one or two hours before dying.
Phenomenon not unusual: expert
David Bird, a wildlife biologist at McGill University in Montreal, said he's been receiving a lot of phone calls about the phenomenon.In recent days thousands of birds have suddenly and inexplicably died in the United States and Sweden.In one small town in Arkansas, more than 4,000 red-winged blackbirds dropped out of the sky on New Year's Eve, littering cars, homes and lawns.A dead red-winged blackbird is seen in Beebe, Ark., on Jan. 1, 2011. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said more than 1,000 dead blackbirds fell from the sky in the town. (Warren Watkins/The Daily Citizen/Associated Press) First of all, it's not a biblical curse. It's not a death ray from an alien space ship, said Bird, noting the incidents have created a type of hysteria.He said the phenomenon is much more common than people realize.
There are many cases where birds get hit by hailstorms or get lost in the fog and they die of starvation and they just fall dead out of the sky.Bird said each incident likely has its own unique cause, and there's no need for people to panic.I think this is a case where it's just coincidental … and people are trying to link them together.Read more: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2011/01/07/dead-birds-quebec.html?ref=rss#ixzz1AOC40avb
Large Maryland Fish Kill Extends Trend Of Mass Animal Deaths 1/6/2011 10:58 AM ET
(RTTNews) - Extending a recent trend of mass animal deaths, approximately two million fish have died in the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland officials revealed on Wednesday. The Maryland Department of the Environment said it is investigating the fish kill but noted that water quality in the area appears to be acceptable and said the fish appear to have died from natural causes.Cold water stress exacerbated by a large population of the affected species (juvenile spot fish) appears to be the cause of the kill, the MDE said. The MDE said that spot fish may have difficulty surviving in colder temperatures, adding that a rapid drop in water temperatures apparently caused cold water stress.The massive fish kill in Maryland comes after an estimated 100,000 fish were killed in the Arkansas River near Ozark, apparently from disease. Additionally, thousands of dead birds have fallen from the sky in parts of Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and even as far away as Sweden.by RTT Staff Writer.For comments and feedback: contact editorial@rttnews.com
Birds Dying In Italy: Thousands Of Turtle Doves Fall Dead From Sky - The Huffington Post | Travis Walter Donovan First Posted: 01- 6-11 06:01 PM | Updated: 01- 7-11 11:42 AM
On Wednesday, GeaPress reported hundreds -- possibly thousands -- of dead and dying birds in Italy. Countless turtle doves were found scattered in the streets, in flower beds and hanging tragically from trees like Christmas balls in the town of Faenza. Many of the birds that fell dead from the sky were discovered with a mysterious blue stain in their beaks. In the past week, similar incidents of mass animal deaths have been reported across the world. Thousands of dead birds fell from the sky in Arkansas on New Year's Eve, and similar incidents were reported on different days in Louisiana, Kentucky and Sweden. Two million fish were discovered dead in Maryland, with other fish kills also reported in Brazil, New Zealand and Arkansas -- approximately 100 miles from the bird incident. 40,000 crabs washed up on England beaches in the past few days, as well.While the events are likely unrelated, most still remain a mystery. Officials suggest fireworks are likely responsible for many of the bird deaths and that unusually cold weather could be to blame for the strange mass deaths of fish and crabs.GeaPress suggests that the blue stains found in mouths of the dead and dying birds in Italy could be the result of poisoning or possibly signs of hypoxia. Both the local forest service and the WWF in Faenza have sent some of the dead birds for testing, though the results likely won't be available for at least a week.

Fish & Bird kills: are we getting answers or being placated?
By Douglas J. Hagmann
7 January 2011: Readers looking for reassuring evidence that the recent massive die offs of fish and birds will find comfort in knowing that such events are historically not all that uncommon. Weather, pollution, parasites and disease are reported as the major culprits behind such events, even as reported yesterday by Glenn Beck. That appears to be the safe, middle-of-the-road explanation. It might even be the correct explanation. But what if it’s not? Also, why are we treated with absurd explanations by our government when the truth, if it is indeed the truth, would be more convincing? The official government explanation for public consumption, as reported by the corporate media, is that the massive bird kill in Arkansas was the result of loud noises created by New Year’s celebratory fireworks. Spooked and disoriented by the loud noises created by the fireworks, some 5,000 red wing blackbirds were roused from their resting positions and flew into one another and other stationary objects, causing massive blunt force trauma to their internal organs, killing them and causing them to rain from the sky like something out of a Stephen King Novel.
In the event you remain unconvinced, veteran bird curator at the Smithsonian Greg Graves has gone on record, saying that the significance of the event has been exaggerated and the massive die off is not such a big deal. Sure enough, as about 163 such events are reported on an annual basis, although most seem to fly under the radar due to location and other factors (pun intended).About the blackbirds, Graves stated that [t]The blackbirds are considered a nuisance, especially in the south where large winter roosts occur. In large numbers, they can be noisy, messy and destructive, much like those of us who are in the general unanointed population. (Okay, I added that last portion of the sentence for effect).As to the estimated 100,000 fish found dead within days of the bird deaths just 125 miles away in the Arkansas River, and another 500 blackbirds found dead in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, those incidents could be completely unrelated, noted Mr. Graves. That sentiment was echoed by government officials as well.Before dismissing the concerns of us regular folks by citing statistics and general causes, however, shouldn’t we be getting answers that are specific to the latest series of incidents? Or at least have someone asking direct and specific questions instead of relying on anecdotal evidence? After all, we are supposedly at war, and our enemy has made it clear their intent to use biological and chemical weapons. If that is indeed a legitimate threat, doesn’t it make sense to know the truth before shrugging the events off to natural happenstance?
Possible national security implications
After receiving several e-mails about this matter, including one from a soldier with extensive biological and chemical experience currently serving in Iraq, I thought it was time to begin conducting my own investigation. After all, Janet Napolitano is currently busy assisting American troops with reinforcement of the border (between Pakistan and Afghanistan, that is). Perhaps that is the reason that I could find no one in the media posing any direct questions to the Department of Homeland Security about biological or chemical concerns. As I already noted, others are simply relying on anecdotal evidence to support their conclusions that there is nothing to see here.The first thing I learned, which at first blush supports the historical evidence, is that strange animal deaths en masse have been reported over the years for reasons that one would not ordinarily expect. There have been reports of flying fish and raining frogs, for example, that were legitimately traced to nearby tornado activity. Not everything is a conspiracy. Odd, yes, but neither nefarious nor completely inexplicable.The second thing I learned is much more disconcerting. Uncomfortable with merely relying on statistics, I thought I would pose specific questions about the recent wildlife deaths to the very agency within our government that was created to protect us from threats within our homeland. What I found was troublesome and makes me believe they are not doing their job, at least not in this instance.Shortly after 9:00 this morning, I called the Department of Homeland Security office in Washington, and the DHS Threat Fusion Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which covers Arkansas. I introduced myself and my purpose for calling, which was to verify that the Department of Homeland Security has an open investigation into the two incidents involving the bird and fish deaths in Arkansas, given what we know about the current bio-chemical threats to the U.S.
At both locations, I was greeted by pleasant individuals who promptly sent me into telephone transfer hell, and finally to a male DHS agent at the latter location who declined to give his name to the media. It was that office and that person I needed to speak with, I was assured by DHS-HQ.When asked if the Department of Homeland Security is investigating or assisting in the investigation of the two incidents, he stated that the DHS is aware of the incidents but not involved in any capacity. None.
The following is a verbatim transcript of my conversation with the DHS official after being told of the purpose of my contact and providing a proper introduction, and after the official denying any DHS involvement in the matter.Investigative oversight? I asked. No, came the reply.Well, isn’t it possible that the deaths could be, however remote, the result of the release of a chemical or biological agent? I asked.It’s highly unlikely, very doubtful, he replied.How do you know? Have you been in contact with anyone engaged in the necropsies of the birds or fish? I asked.
Uh, no,he replied.Well. if you’re not involved in the investigation in any capacity, how do you know? I pressed.We would know, came his reply.Okay, my last question, sir. Would you know if the deaths could be from any action of the U.S. military, such as the Dugway sheep incident back in the late ’60′s? Or would you be informed of-At that point, he interrupted me, saying: This has nothing to do with the military and is not a matter under DHS review.Our conversation concluded at that point. Clearly, he was becoming agitated by my continuing questions. Before hanging up, I again asked him for his name for the purpose of this article, but he declined citing the same reason.
Research of significant incidents
After combing through numerous news articles and contacting several wildlife agencies, I confirmed that over the last few years, there have been several significant incidents involving the strange or large number of deaths of wildlife in the U.S. and elsewhere. Some can be attributed to the nature of things. Others, well, perhaps not.On 26 July 2002, for example, Paul Sperry reported that during the 18 months previous to that article, health officials in Washington, DC found 407 dead birds infected with the West Nile virus, including two that were picked up at the White House. The method of infection of West Nile into the bird population of the U.S., and specifically into the DC birds themselves, has never been satisfactorily explained.On 21 December 2007, several dozen birds described as a flock of Purple Martins fell from the sky over New York City. Many were found scattered across Staten Island, either falling from the sky or landing, then fall over and begin to twitch and flap as they died. This incident is particularly significant by the very graphic nature of actual amateur video taken of one of the birds after it fell to the ground. Aside from the fact that the birds should have been long gone from that area, the video is clearly indicative of something other than anecdotal evidence that nothing is amiss.
I was surprised by the number of recent wildlife deaths and compiled a list of significant incidents at the end of this article. I also found it interesting the similarities between previous unexplained incidents and those being reported now. For example, on 8 January 2007, Esperance, a town near Perth in Western Australia, was declared a natural disaster area after several hundred birds dropped dead out of the sky and onto people’s lawns over a wide area. At about the same time and halfway around the world, the streets in Austin, Texas were closed as officials cleaned up hundreds of dead birds that also inexplicably fell dead from the sky. To date, neither incident has been sufficiently explained. According to the Australian report, some birds were observed convulsing on the ground before they died.Nothing out of the ordinary? Perhaps another look at the video from Staten Island might be in order.The reports today appear similar in nature. It’s easy to dismiss the incidents as freaks of nature, or insisting, without evidence, that there is nothing to see here as many are.Although the entirety of massive kills listed below could have innocuous explanations, I believe that we deserve to know the truth. We deserve better from our investigative agencies, making sure that they are on top of things, while making sure that they are not merely the domestic authoritative arms for global restructuring.Based on my research, I doubt that we will be told the whole truth behind each of these deaths, unless, of course, someday, someone, releases a report like the 1994 GAO accounting of the Dugway sheep kill incident. By then, though, will it matter? I sense that if we continue to accept the inane explanations, fail to ask questions, or continue on our path of blissful ignorance, it is us who might become the next statistic.

The Earth's magnetic field is the shield that protects this planet from our sun's deadly solar flares and from lethal space and supernovae radiations.The colors of the auroras in the skies at poles ends are the visible interaction between these two forces.As the Earth's magnetic field confronts the sun's flare radiations, the Earth protects us; our sky's dark night shades become luminescent colors in Auroras Borealis that ebb and wane in a gorgeous visual electrical magnetic display of that protection. But the signs of polar shifting already in the works are now showing some clearer signs of the impending danger to us.Most revealingly, and not coincidentally, Auroras Borealis flares can now often be seen in the night skies as far south as Alabama.More signs of this potentially lethal planetary magnetic shift, have been evident in the migration confusion of some fish, some no shows of certain migrating butterflies and other migrating creatures who use the Earth's magnetic fields to locate over great distances. Animals who are extremely sensitive to solar energy like some species of frogs as well as many newts and salamanders have virtually and quietly vanished.Honey bees which pollinate every vegetable and fruit tree the world over, have also been crippled by their inability to geo-navigate and with their insect directional equipment suddenly askew, they experience hive desertions and colony deaths frequently prevail.Einstein once said ;Without bees, mankind would starve to death in four years.This electrical-magnetic planetary shield's shift has caused a marked increase in skin cancers all over the world especially in the last few years.Although the clear observable circular hole above the poles caused by ozone depletion by fluorocarbons is a dangerous hole, a magnetic flux from pole reversal would create a plethora and abundance of much larger holes in the planet's shield.
Unlike the gargantuan geologic time frames evident in Earth changes, a major magnetic shift of fully reversed polarities can likely occur in just a few year's time.Only a few - quietly ignored by the world press-scientists are raising an alarm and we, in America, like most of the world's nations who are distracted, pay the nightmarish scientific implications little heed and attention.This in progress and soon to greatly increase planetary magnetic shift may oddly explain why UFO / alien encounters and abductions appear to be so perfunctory; rather than friendly galactic greetings, the feel of expedient salvage work prevails instead. It may well shed some light onto our government's preoccupation with incessant and ferverish digging, building many very deep underground networks and bases. Only deeply dug underground facilities would totally afford protection from the sun's killing flare radiations. The obvious scenarios depict that planetary magnetic shifts give large windows of full exposure to places on the Earth to deadly space and solar radiation.Fifty X-rays of 500 roentgens dose equivalent per day would cause worldwide leukemias and cancers to exposed / uninformed populaces and result in planetary decimation.
Although there seems to be as yet no definitive scientific archeological evidence that supports that sudden mass extinctions are tied to Earth's planetary magnetic reversals, one must recall that mankind, 50,000 years ago lived more IN the Earth than ON the Earth.The Earth's very oldest known written texts are in the Hindi language and date from about eight to nine thousand years ago.The second oldest known writing dates back to almost 3,000 years ago and is the Gilgamesh.Mankind, the race of men who lived 50,000 years ago, left behind no manmade ruins or written hints about any designed structural architecture.They appear not to have lived in above ground dwellings; most tribes and small hunting communities are believed to have lived burrowed into cliffs, communal caves and shallow caverns well sheltered from the sun's X-RAY blazing of minutes then hours of lethal radiation with regular frequency during magnetic readjustment of Earth's poles.
We, as today's humans are apt to suffer exquisitely.When solar flares reach the Earth and are not vectored off, all in flight and on the ground electronic equipment will fail.A global failure in all cell phones, computers, satellites, radios and televisions will isolate us from each other.Worse, power grids already fragile will fail for months and without power and without water(the pumps are electrically operated) for many months, civilization as we know it will collapse.Instead of life on the Earth ending with the proverbial bang, this event could with a suitable stretch of imagination be a silent killer that could do us in, with whispers.
Dead birds litter Quebec farm Its not a biblical curse. It's not a death ray from an alien spaceship, expert says Last Updated: Friday, January 7, 2011 | 2:36 PM ET .CBC News
In the last two weeks, some 80 dead pigeons have been found dead on a farm in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, west of Quebec city. (CBC) A farmer in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures has found about 80 dead pigeons on his farm 20 kilometres west of Quebec City.Sylvain Turmel first noticed the dead birds in his field on Dec. 18.I found two dead birds in the morning, which is normal, birds sometimes die, he said.But when I came back one hour later, another 25 had fallen, said Turmel.In the time it took me to pick them up, five more fell to the ground! Turmel called police and the fire department. They couldn't provide him with any answers, but he said while they were there, more birds fell to their deaths.He said wildlife officials with Quebec's Ministry of Natural Resources collected the birds for analysis but they are also stumped.Farmer Sylvain Turmel in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Que., picks up a dead pigeon Friday. All they can tell me is that it's not avian influenza, it's not the West Nile virus, and it's not poison, which is what officials suspected at first.It won't stop. I'm finding more [dead] birds every day.Turmel said that after they fall the pigeons usually remain on the ground for one or two hours before dying.
Phenomenon not unusual: expert
David Bird, a wildlife biologist at McGill University in Montreal, said he's been receiving a lot of phone calls about the phenomenon.In recent days thousands of birds have suddenly and inexplicably died in the United States and Sweden.In one small town in Arkansas, more than 4,000 red-winged blackbirds dropped out of the sky on New Year's Eve, littering cars, homes and lawns.A dead red-winged blackbird is seen in Beebe, Ark., on Jan. 1, 2011. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said more than 1,000 dead blackbirds fell from the sky in the town. (Warren Watkins/The Daily Citizen/Associated Press) First of all, it's not a biblical curse. It's not a death ray from an alien space ship, said Bird, noting the incidents have created a type of hysteria.He said the phenomenon is much more common than people realize.
There are many cases where birds get hit by hailstorms or get lost in the fog and they die of starvation and they just fall dead out of the sky.Bird said each incident likely has its own unique cause, and there's no need for people to panic.I think this is a case where it's just coincidental … and people are trying to link them together.Read more: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2011/01/07/dead-birds-quebec.html?ref=rss#ixzz1AOC40avb
Large Maryland Fish Kill Extends Trend Of Mass Animal Deaths 1/6/2011 10:58 AM ET
(RTTNews) - Extending a recent trend of mass animal deaths, approximately two million fish have died in the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland officials revealed on Wednesday. The Maryland Department of the Environment said it is investigating the fish kill but noted that water quality in the area appears to be acceptable and said the fish appear to have died from natural causes.Cold water stress exacerbated by a large population of the affected species (juvenile spot fish) appears to be the cause of the kill, the MDE said. The MDE said that spot fish may have difficulty surviving in colder temperatures, adding that a rapid drop in water temperatures apparently caused cold water stress.The massive fish kill in Maryland comes after an estimated 100,000 fish were killed in the Arkansas River near Ozark, apparently from disease. Additionally, thousands of dead birds have fallen from the sky in parts of Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and even as far away as Sweden.by RTT Staff Writer.For comments and feedback: contact editorial@rttnews.com
Birds Dying In Italy: Thousands Of Turtle Doves Fall Dead From Sky - The Huffington Post | Travis Walter Donovan First Posted: 01- 6-11 06:01 PM | Updated: 01- 7-11 11:42 AM
On Wednesday, GeaPress reported hundreds -- possibly thousands -- of dead and dying birds in Italy. Countless turtle doves were found scattered in the streets, in flower beds and hanging tragically from trees like Christmas balls in the town of Faenza. Many of the birds that fell dead from the sky were discovered with a mysterious blue stain in their beaks. In the past week, similar incidents of mass animal deaths have been reported across the world. Thousands of dead birds fell from the sky in Arkansas on New Year's Eve, and similar incidents were reported on different days in Louisiana, Kentucky and Sweden. Two million fish were discovered dead in Maryland, with other fish kills also reported in Brazil, New Zealand and Arkansas -- approximately 100 miles from the bird incident. 40,000 crabs washed up on England beaches in the past few days, as well.While the events are likely unrelated, most still remain a mystery. Officials suggest fireworks are likely responsible for many of the bird deaths and that unusually cold weather could be to blame for the strange mass deaths of fish and crabs.GeaPress suggests that the blue stains found in mouths of the dead and dying birds in Italy could be the result of poisoning or possibly signs of hypoxia. Both the local forest service and the WWF in Faenza have sent some of the dead birds for testing, though the results likely won't be available for at least a week.
