THE DOW WAS UP 228 POINTS MONDAY-YESTERDAY

TTIP: EU offered 97% cut on US tariffs, secret papers show By Justus von Daniels and Marta Orosz-FEB 22,16-EUOBSERVER

Berlin, Today, 12:07-The TTIP negotiations entered a decisive phase on 15 October 2015. That’s when US and EU negotiators laid their cards on the table, exchanging offers for tariff reductions. Up until then, the US had only broached hypothetical reductions; now they were openly offering to reduce 87.5 percent of all tariffs to zero.That was more than the EU expected. European negotiators had to come up with a better offer or risk derailing the deal. A week later, they came up with a new deal: cutting 97 percent of tariffs to zero.The EU’s secret offer, which website Correctiv has seen in its entirety, is made up of 181 pages of densely-printed text. It’s got almost 8,000 categories: every species of fish, every chemical has its own tariff category. Importing a parka? Its tariff will depend on whether it's wool, or polyester for example.Trade deals are like poker games. Europe’s big offer comes with a big hope: that the US will open up its public bidding process to European firms. That way, European construction companies like Hochtief could bid on contracts to build US highways, or BMW could sell cop cars to American sheriffs.-Meat is 'underdog'-For the first time, the tariff offer makes clear what TTIP might do for consumers. Remove duties, and prices tend to drop. With tariffs on parts gone, cars could get cheaper. Per part, tariffs add just a few cents on the euro, but altogether European car manufacturers could save a billion euros each year, according to German Association of the Automotive Industry calculations. Manufacturers could then pass the savings on to consumers.Some duties are levied on foodstuffs. Right now, peppers from the US have an import tariff of up to 14 percent. Fish caught on US coastlines are charged up to 25 percent; raspberries 9 percent. Take those away, and it could make economic sense for American food producers to export to the EU – putting domestic farmers under pressure.Grain and meat, on the other hand, are largely left out of the reductions for now. “The meat industry is definitely an underdog,” says Pekka Pesonen, general secretary of the European Farmers Association (COPA-COGECA). Animal feed is produced much more cheaply in the US than in the EU. And for products like meat, “there are a lot of reasons it’s complicated to fully liberalise trade,” Pesonen says – animal welfare is more regulated in Europe, and using growth hormones is forbidden.Opening the agricultural market completely would be difficult for Europe’s small family farms in particular, as they already struggle to compete against industrial-scale farms. That means the back-and-forth over grain and meat is likely to continue.But the EU has to make a few offers here, too, because the US is eager to see the European agricultural market open up a bit. Pork or seed corn, for example, could be offered up for tariff cuts. The EU has yet to decide when the tariff cuts come into effect. The process is alarming for farmers, who aren’t eager to have their products used as negotiation tools.-Privileged industries-Both sides have placed conditions on their offers. There are 19 pages of tariffs on clothing, for everything from parkas to shoes, overalls and yarn. Tariffs hover between 9 and 12 percent, but the EU is offering total cuts, with an “R” for "reciprocity". In other words, we’ll cut ours only if you cut yours. The US, on the other hand, has made clear that cuts on textiles depend on opening a discussion over country-of-origin labels.For example, if a shirt is sewn in Vietnam but packaged in the US, is it “Made in Vietnam” or “Made in the USA”? Once that’s worked out, it’ll be possible to discuss whether the new duties apply to that shirt or not.Take a look at the EU’s confidential offer and it’s clear some industries have been privileged. Next to the many zeroes on the list are phase-in periods of three or seven years. Some aluminium products, for example, won’t be allowed into the EU duty-free for seven years.Hydraulic motors, too, have a grace period. Duties on LCD monitors won’t go down immediately; consumers will have to wait seven years for import duties to drop. That, in theory, will give these industries time to adjust to competition. But these measures are still being negotiated.Thus far, access to the specifics of the TTIP deal was limited to a small circle: Negotiators, government officials, the US Congress, the EU Parliament and 600-odd “trade advisers” in the US.-Public procurement promise-The tariff offer is a milestone for TTIP. Without concrete tariff reductions, concluding a trade deal would be impossible. In theory, such arrangements have to be handled by the World Trade Organisation (WTO); bilateral deals are, technically, forbidden by the WTO. Other states could file to have the deal overturned.But there’s an exception in the WTO rules: Article 24 of the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT) states that a deal like TTIP is allowed when both sides drop their tariffs substantially and show that they’re making trade easier. Both the EU and the US have just done that.The EU is now waiting for the US to offer a substantial deal on public procurement. In a 15 September report obtained by Correctiv, the EU Commission says “it definitely expects that the US will offer to open public procurement at a future point in time, in exchange for the revised tariff offer”.That report also indicated that the US “promised to make a proposal regarding public procurement for the first time” when the EU and US put forth their symmetrical tariff reductions, eliminating 97 percent of all tariffs.Public bids are a major TTIP sticking point. The EU wants the US to finally open its markets to allow firms like Hochtief or BMW to compete when cities put out a call for bids on a new building or fleet of cars. The US is less than eager, because that would subject domestic companies - which are already allowed to bid on projects in the EU - to increased competition.The 12th round of negotiations started on Monday in Brussels. However, last Thursday the EU Commission indicated that it did not expect a comprehensive offer from the US, and other sources suggested the US would not propose anything concrete before the end of the week.Justus von Daniels and Marta Orosz are reporters with the non-profit newsroom correctiv.org.

EU aims for free trade pact before Obama goes By Peter Teffer-FEB 22,16-EUOBSERVER

Brussels, Today, 09:28-Greenpeace understands the media.On Monday morning (22 February) activists blocked the entrance of the building where European and US negotiators were due to meet for talks on a free trade agreement. A deal to which Greenpeace is heavily opposed.The NGO sent out photos via social media and a press release to match at 8:34am - more than two hours before the official “photo opportunity” organised by the European Commission.This means that any media that needs images to accompany its coverage of the first day of the 12th round of talks on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) will have material that is, in any case, visually more interesting than the handshake between the two lead negotiators.However, by jubilantly saying “Greenpeace activists block secret TTIP talks”, the anti-TTIP lobbyists may have cheered too soon.The US and EU are still aiming to finishing the talks this year, EU commissioner Cecilia Malmstroem told Austrian newspaper Der Standard in an interview published Monday.A White House spokesperson recently said that a TTIP deal may not be finished before president Barack Obama leaves office in January 2017.But European Commission sources said last week that an Obama-term deal is still possible, and insisted that the White House had clarified that it still shared this aim.“It is possible to conclude the negotiations at the political level with the current administration,” an EU source said.“But we do not hide the difficulties, in light of the many issues that still need to be solved.“We would put all our energy in trying to get this negotiations forward but never to the sacrifice of substance, and never to the sacrifice of balance, in terms of interest of both sides.”Many Europeans have expressed worry that the deal could lower environmental standards and labour rights. According to Malmstroem, there would be “many months” to study the full text of the agreement between when the deal is signed, and when it is ratified and goes into effect.Currently, it is still open what sectors will be covered in the agreement, and how. At the moment nine sectors are on the table, including for example the car sector, medical devices, and chemicals.“What we aim to achieve during this week would be to have as clear as possible common understanding by both sides, including the regulators by both sides, about what it is the concrete objective that can be achieved in TTIP in each of these sectors,” said the commission source.-Two rounds-“So that once there is a clear common understanding about what is the concrete objective, then we should be able to, in the next negotiating round, to begin to work already on texts,” the source added.For example, the two sides are looking at whether they can reduce the number of inspections in the pharmaceutical industry. Under current terms, a company selling the same pharmaceuticals on both sides of the Atlantic would be visited by both regulators.The commission aims to have another two rounds of talks after this week's round before the end of July.“Our objective … is to try to make sure that before the summer break on all areas, or nearly all areas, we have texts, a consolidated text, with only a limited number of brackets,” the EU source said. Brackets are used in draft texts during negotiations to indicate that an agreement is not yet reached in that specific area.As talks intensify, public scrutiny will also focus on what presidential candidates say about their intentions on the agreement. But the commission is not yet comparing candidates to see which ones could potentially derail the pact.It noted that TTIP had a potentially higher degree of bipartisan support than some other free trade deals.“Many congressional Democrats will tell you they have never voted for a free trade agreement, but could consider voting for TTIP because Europe has higher standards for labour protection, higher standards for environmental protection,” the commission source said.

Italy presents anti-austerity roadmap By Eric Maurice-FEB 22,16-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 20:09-Engaged in a policy struggle with the European Commission, Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi is calling for more flexible fiscal rules, growth policies, a eurozone budget and cost sharing of the migrant crisis.The demands, which Rome says are "a far-reaching policy agenda and concrete proposals", are included in a nine-page document published on Monday (22 February) by the Italian ministry of economy and finances ahead of a visit to Rome by commission president Jean-Claude Juncker."Fiscal rules should prove their adequacy to cope with a challenging economic environment," says the document, entitled A Shared European Policy Strategy for Growth, Jobs, and Stability."A framework designed for normal conditions of growth and inflation has proved incapable to tackle effectively the impact of very low nominal growth on potential growth and on debt dynamics," it notes."These shortcomings have implications for the measurement of fiscal indicators on which policy recommendations are based and should be addressed. Price developments should be more effectively embedded in fiscal rules," the document adds.Renzi's governement, which has been asking for EU flexibility in the assessement of member states' budgets, says the commission’s communication on flexibility in the Stability and Growth Pact "marked a step forward in improving the policy mix"."It creates the appropriate incentives for reforms and investment. It strengthens the coordination between structural and fiscal policies triggering a virtuous circle: structural action and investments boost medium-term growth thus supporting consolidation of public finance," it says in the document.On the migration crisis, Italy, which is a front line country, says that sharing responsibility for the management of EU external borders "would represent a powerful response".It also calls for a "mutualised funding mechanism" of EU border management, "which could entail issuance of common bonds". Already floated during the eurozone crisis, the idea of launching eurobonds has always been ruled out by Germany.Again aiming at Germany and the policies pursued so far by the commission, the document states that "risk sharing and mutualisation offer a powerful incentive to abide by the rules and prevent opportunistic behaviour".Renzi's government also calls for a eurozone budget managed by a eurozone finance minister.Juncker will meet Renzi and other Italian officials on Friday (26 February) to try to mend relations.In his new year address, the commission president lashed out at Renzi, accusing him of "vilifying and criticising the commission on every street corner”.In December, Renzi said that "Europe has to serve all 28 countries, not just one”, aiming at the commission president whom he considers too close to German chancellor Angela Merkel."The European project is suffering an unparalleled crisis," the Italian government memo says."The policy reaction to the economic recession and large unemployment is often perceived as insufficient by European citizens, which often struggle to perceive the added value of being part of the Union," it says.

Uproar as Bennett dedicates academic year to ‘united Jerusalem’-Education minister’s plan slammed by opposition lawmakers; Herzog: We must separate from Palestinians ‘who hate us’-By Marissa Newman and Joshua Davidovich February 22, 2016, 6:50 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Education Minister Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home) on Monday announced the upcoming school year would be designated as the “year of united Jerusalem,” drawing fierce criticism from the opposition Zionist Union party.As part of the plan — which would mark 50 years since the Six Day War when Israel took control of the entire city for the first time — students in schools around the country will visit the capital, touring the Knesset, Supreme Court, Old City, and other sites. The schools will also focus on Jerusalem in history, geography, civics, literature, and Bible classes.“Our history began in Jerusalem, and it from there that we draw all our energies during these times. If anyone tries to cut us off from the city they will only do the opposite — make us more attached to Jerusalem,” he said.The proposal, which comes amid an ongoing controversy over a civics textbook written under Bennett’s leadership, was criticized by members of the Zionist Union party, who see East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.“This morning I heard Education Minister Naftali Bennett — who woke up with a need to make headlines — declare a year of a united Jerusalem,” said opposition leader Isaac Herzog. “I love Jerusalem, we all love Jerusalem, but I wonder to which Jerusalem Bennett was referring — a Jewish, safe Jerusalem or a Jerusalem with 300,000 Palestinians who hate us annexed into it.”Referencing his own plan to exclude Arab neighborhoods from the Israeli capital, Herzog continued: “Whoever loves Jerusalem must demand a separation from the Palestinians.”Addressing Bennett, Zionist Union MK Merav Michaeli said that Israelis were too afraid to visit Jerusalem due to the security situation.“I want to tell you, education minister, I was at the Western Wall this morning, and I don’t recall it ever being so empty and desolate,” she told him, as Jerusalem was experiencing cold and stormy weather.Meanwhile, Zionist Union MK Stav Shaffir was being mocked on social media for a misguided attempt to school Bennett in Jewish history.After Bennett announced his education plan, Shaffir wrote on Twitter: “Sorry for being petty, but the education minister should know that according to the Torah, we came from Egypt.”Humorist Hanoch Daum responded on Facebook with an iconic photo of Israeli soldiers in the Old City of Jerusalem during the 1967 Six Day War, replacing the Western Wall with the Egyptian pyramids.Other jokes included imaginary scenarios in which Shaffir accuses the grand mufti of Jerusalem of enslaving the Jewish people.The Jewish Home party wrote on Facebook that Shaffir’s comments show that the Labor Party has deteriorated greatly since the days of Yitzhak Rabin.Bennett later reiterated his support for the plan.“Our history began in Jerusalem, and our mission is to raise a new generation of lovers of the city,” he said at his faction meeting.On Saturday, Bennett also hit back at criticism that the new high school civics textbook had a nationalist bias.“I don’t understand what the storm is about,” Bennett said in a Channel 2 interview. The textbook “is a wonderful book that passed muster with many experts, and has been stuck in the pipeline for five years. I came [to the Education Ministry] to act. I won’t let an excellent book to be stuck in the pipeline.”“The book reflects all the perspectives of Israeli society,” he added. “But let me tell you a secret: I wasn’t elected to advance the agenda of [Meretz party leader] Zehava Galon, of [Labor Party leader Isaac] Herzog, of [Yesh Atid party leader] Yair Lapid, of the left. I’m the education minister of the entire State of Israel.”The row over Israel’s main high school civics textbook became a new battleground in the debate over how much religion and Jewish history should be included in the country’s national curriculum.Three of the book’s authors have removed their names from chapters they wrote, claiming Education Ministry professionals altered their work beyond recognition to include a nationalist slant. The book’s editor has submitted a six-page protest letter, and the sole Arab member of the committee overseeing civics education has quit in protest. The book is scheduled to be published in March.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Defense minister: American aid package to be finalized in ‘weeks’-Kicking off joint US-Israeli drill, Ya’alon says US and Russia understand Israel will only intervene in Syria to protect its interests-By Joshua Davidovich and Judah Ari Gross February 22, 2016, 7:02 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Marking the start of a biennial US-Israeli ballistic missile defense drill in Haifa, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said Monday that a new 10-year military aid package from Washington should be finalized “in the coming weeks.”“Israel has held talks over the last months on keeping its high-quality security in the Middle East with the goal of finalizing a budget for the next decade,” he said, speaking alongside US ambassador Dan Shapiro, after touring the USS Carney.The US and Israel have been renegotiating the military aid package, which currently stands at $3 billion annually. Israel wants to up the amount to $5 billion annually, according to reports, and some Israeli officials have threatened to hold out until US President Barack Obama leaves office in the hopes of securing a better deal.Ya’alon, who last week criticized the West’s approach to Syria, also expressed doubt that a US-Russian ceasefire in the works for the country could hold, and said Israel would not intervene except to preserve its interests, “something the US and Russia understand.”Members of the Obama administration’s national security team arrived in Israel in late January to advance talks on a new US defense assistance package to the country. In November, Israel was said to have completed its “shopping list” of desired American military material as part of a new long-term agreement for US defense assistance to Israel to maintain its qualitative edge in the region.On the list, and reportedly approved in principle by the US, is an Israeli request for V-22 Ospreys, planes which are believed capable of reaching Iran and which Israel reportedly sought from the US in 2012 — but later decided not to purchase due to budgetary restraints — when contemplating a strike on Iran’s Fordo enrichment facility.The Juniper Cobra exercise is held every two years and is meant to prepare the two militaries for the threat of a missile attack, as well as allowing the armies to learn how to better work together.In 2014, the last time the exercise was held, thousands of soldiers from both armies took part in the five-day event, which included computer-assisted simulations of a missile attack.The US has either jointly developed or financed all three tiers in Israel’s missile defense program — Iron Dome (short-range missile interceptor), David’s Sling (medium range) and Arrow (long range).“The exercise will employ Israel’s entire rocket and ballistic missile architecture, including Iron Dome, Arrow, and David’s Sling: assets that the United States is proud to have helped Israel finance and develop,” then-US defense secretary Chuck Hagel said at the start of the 2014 exercise.JTA contributed to this report.

Millions of Londoners were exposed Monday to a series of anti-Israel posters on the underground network to mark the beginning of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement’s 12th annual Israeli Apartheid Week.Transport for London, which is responsible for the tube service, said this was “an act of vandalism,” the ads were not authorized and staff members were working to take them down, the Jewish Chronicle reported.The posters, designed in the style of BBC reports, attacked the UK broadcasting organization [which is frequently criticized for pro-Palestinian leanings] for biased pro-Israel reporting and claimed Israel used British arms to “massacre Palestinians” during 2014’s Operation Protective Edge in Gaza.A third poster criticized the global security company G4S for working in Israel, while a fourth, titled “Apartheid is Great….Britain,” alleged that more than 100 UK companies continue to supply military equipment to the Jewish State.The Jewish Chronicle estimated that the ads appeared in some 500 trains.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had asked Foreign Ministry chief Dore Gold, who is currently in London, to demand that the British government see to it that the offending posters were taken down.MK Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid) said he had contacted London Mayor Boris Johnson and asked him to intervene. “He explained that they were put up without authorization and would give the instruction for them to be taken down immediately,” Lapid said.Johnson lashed out against boycotters of Israel as “lefty academics” who wield no real influence, during a visit to Tel Aviv in November.Dore Gold meanwhile told Army Radio that the issue had been dealt with before Israeli politicians intervened. Israeli embassy officials became aware of the posters around midnight Sunday and by first thing Monday, were talking with London’s council about having the adverts removed.On Wednesday, the British government formally announced guidelines that prohibit publicly funded bodies from boycotting Israeli-made products. Bodies to which it applies include government agencies, the National Health Service and local authorities.

Opinion-Six EU double standards on Israel By Martin Konecny-FEB 22,16-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:06-Over the last few months, the Israeli government has stepped up its accusations that the EU employs a “double standard” in relation to Israel.According to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “there’s a natural tendency in the EU establishment to single out Israel and treat it in ways that other countries are not being dealt with.” This double-standards allegation has become the key Israeli talking point with regard to Europe, repeated at every opportunity.So let us check the facts. Are the Israeli claims true? Does Europe really hold Israel to a different standard than other countries? Yes: It turns out that Netanyahu is absolutely right. Europe does indeed apply double standards towards Israel - except that all of them happen to be to Israel's advantage rather than the other way around. Here are six examples.-Human rights-The EU has no subcommittee for human rights with Israel, although such bodies have been a standard component of the EU's relations with Mediterranean partner countries, from Morocco to Lebanon.Years ago, the EU yielded to Israel's refusal and agreed instead to a mere informal working group on human rights.Similarly, the EU-Israel action plan that has been in place for the last 10 years has the weakest human rights commitments of all EU action plans with neighbouring countries.Although the EU has deeper relations with Israel than with any other country in the region, Israel’s human-rights issues have been given the lowest priority.-International Criminal Court-The EU strongly supports the International Criminal Court (ICC). It uses trade and development agreements with many countries to encourage them to join the Hague Court, and has withheld assistance from Sudan and South Sudan which have refused to join.But in the case of Palestine, foremost EU states including the UK and France pressured president Mahmoud Abbas not to seek membership, which could lead to prosecution of both Israelis and Palestinians for war crimes.At the time, they claimed that ICC involvement could undermine the (defunct) Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Yet the same governments have led efforts to bring other countries embroiled in conflict - Sudan, Libya and Syria - to the Court through the United Nations Security Council, and condemned Russia and China for blocking the referral in the Syrian case.When Palestine eventually joined the ICC in April 2015, it was the first time that the EU did not issue a welcoming statement.-Sanctions-The EU applies sanctions to more than 30 countries around the world. Sanctions seem to have become the EU's default response to international challenges, with their use massively increasing in recent years.But Israel is not on the list.This is despite its well-known, large-scale violations of international law and human rights in the occupied territories, which are, moreover, making a peaceful two-state solution to the conflict practically impossible; expansion of settlements in the West Bank is just one example. Yet the EU does not apply even the mildest sanctions against those pushing for settlement expansion, or against extremist settlers who violently attack Palestinians and destroy their property.The few measures that the EU has taken so far - such as differentiated labelling of settlement products - are not sanctions, as the Israeli press likes to describe them. They merely ensure correct application of existing EU law based on its non-recognition of Israeli sovereignty in the occupied Palestinian territory.In contrast, to underscore its non-recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea, the EU has imposed real, sweeping sanctions, including a ban on all trade with and investment in the peninsula.-Security-The EU often emphasises its commitment to Israel's security, but rarely mentions the security of the Palestinians. This is despite the fact that the latter have been suffering far greater levels of insecurity and much higher casualties during decades of conflict.The EU affirms Israel's right to defend itself against Palestinian attacks but never says whether the Palestinians have a right to defend themselves against Israeli attacks, within the bounds of international law.The EU also regularly calls on Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip to stop firing rockets and mortars on Israel, but not on Israel to curb its almost daily attacks, which also have been shown to violate international law.In 2015, there were 35 attacks from Gaza that caused no Israeli injuries or damage. In the same year, Israeli forces conducted 56 raids into Gaza and opened fire on Gazans in over 600 cases, killing 25 people and injuring over 1,300.These incidents often target civilians who pose no threat. Yet the latest EU Council conclusions on the conflict once again only addressed rocket fire by Palestinian militants.-Quartet principles-As part of the Middle East Quartet, the EU demands that any Palestinian government recognise Israel, accept previous agreements and renounce violence.In 2006 and 2007, the EU financially boycotted Palestinian governments that included Hamas as they did not commit to these three principles. The EU's stance contributed to the disastrous political split between Gaza and the West Bank that lasts until today.Yet neither the Quartet nor the EU have demanded that the Israeli government adhere to the same principles. In fact, Israel would hardly pass the test: it has not recognised Palestine, does not abide by key elements of past agreements including the Oslo Accords or the Roadmap, and frequently resorts to violence to sustain the occupation.But rather than holding Palestinian and Israeli governments to the same principles, the Quartet has employed them as one-sided demands.-Nuclear weapons-Europe tolerates Israel’s undeclared nuclear weapons arsenal and its evasion of international inspections.In fact, it was France and Britain that secretly helped Israel to get “the bomb” in the 1950s and 60s. Germany still provides Israel with government-subsidised submarines, while reportedly knowing that Israel arms them with nuclear missiles.Europeans often vote against international resolutions calling on Israel to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which would open its nuclear facilities to inspections.This stands in stark contrast to the immense pressure the EU put on Iran to curb its nuclear programme, notwithstanding the differences between the two cases.Undeniably, Europeans - and Germans in particular - have a vast historical debt to the Jewish people, which factors into their stance on Israel's nuclear weapons. But it remains that there is a double standard in Israel's favour.-Redressing the imbalance-Some inconsistencies in foreign policy are inevitable - Israel is not the only area in which the EU is guilty of double standards. The reasons for Europe’s privileged treatment of Israel are multiple, and many of them are easy to understand: cultural affinity, historical guilt, sympathy for democracies, and admiration for cultural and scientific achievements (as well as organised pro-Israel lobbies).Yet Europe has every reason to redress its imbalanced approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and be more even-handed. After all, as the Israeli government rightly says, the double standard “prevents the EU from being an honest broker in the conflict.”And while there is no effective broker willing to hold both sides to the same standard, the very possibility of a peaceful solution is rapidly disappearing, promising more violence and instability on Europe’s doorstep and more fuel for global extremism in the decades to come.Martin Konecny runs the European Middle East Project (EuMEP), a Brussels-based NGO

Israeli-developed ‘nano-nose’ can sniff out bombs, drugs-Tracense’s homeland security odor-detection technology is set to come on the market soon, a company official said-By David Shamah February 22, 2016, 7:32 pm-the times of israel

An Israeli-developed “nano-nose” could help homeland security officers sniff out explosives — as well as drugs, large amounts of cash, and even small metal items that are banned from planes. “And we do it with far less false positives than dogs or other technologies that are being used now to analyze the odor of explosives and other items,” said Matan Barami, chief chemist at Israeli nanotech start-up Tracense.Barami was speaking Monday at this year’s edition of NanoIsrael, a biennial event on the burgeoning Israeli nanotechnology industry. Over the past nine years, Israeli nanotechnology researchers have filed 1,590 patents (769 granted so far), published 12,392 scholarly articles on the subject, and had 129 nano-success stories, which include establishing start-ups, selling ideas or technology to multinationals, licensing a patent, etc., according to Rafi Koriat, chairman of the event at Tel Aviv University.The conference, Koriat said, is a place for top researchers and leaders from Israel and abroad to meet and discuss the latest developments in nanotechnology, “and provides visitors with a first look at cutting-edge technologies, leading scientific achievements and unique business and investment opportunities.”Tracense, which developed the world’s first nanotech-based “electronic nose” to sniff out security threats, including bombs, biological warfare agents, and toxic liquids and materials, could be included in that “latest developments” category. “We use nanotechnology to treat electronic wires that respond to the ‘smell’ of objects, comparing them to very specific odor profiles we equip our Tracense device with. Sensors detect an odor and send its profile to the wires, which respond when a substance that shouldn’t be there shows up.”Although most people don’t realize it, “smell” is just a manifestation of specific molecules, with each smell giving off its own specific chemical qualities. Detecting an odor, thus, is just a matter of figuring out which molecules are being “smelled” — no biggie for modern science, with several systems in use to do just that, using analytical chemistry-based equipment.While there are such systems on the market, said Barami, they do not use nanotechnology, and thus are not accurate enough to use in “live” situations at airports, bus stations, and shopping centers. “Most systems, for example, will detect whether there are traces of fertilizers — which can be used to manufacture bombs — on a person. But what if he or she is a farmer?” That’s one reason similar systems are not widely used — and why Tracense will be when it hits the market, “because our system can distinguish between the chemical composition of fertilizer when it is used for farming, and the changes it undergoes when it’s used for bombs,” added Barami.Dogs have a much better record than most “artificial noses,” but deploying them on a wide basis makes people uncomfortable, “and you can’t have a dog sniff every person or every piece of luggage.” With a Tracense device unobtrusively stationed at the appropriate place in the airport, people won’t even know they are being inspected, Barami continued.The Tracense system uses an electric sensor to detect molecules, with the information passed on to wires equipped with nano-sensors. Each sensor stores a smell profile, so when an odor is detected, the system provides a very specific reaction. In numerous beta tests, the Tracense system has been able to detect ultra-low concentrations of explosives, including improvised explosive devices and home-made explosives from solid particles, gaseous streams and liquid samples, the company said.Technically, the Tracense system could be programmed to detect any odor on earth, and it may just be deployed in other areas, such as in medicine. “The system could certainly detect bacteria, insulin, sugar and other things,” added Barami, but for now the company is concentrating on the homeland security market.The system should be available commercially “soon,” said Barami. “We are putting the finishing touches on our odor profile library, and I imagine it will be very popular, considering that we are able to do something that no one else can.”

After deadly stabbing, West Bank supermarket steps up security-At the request of police, all Rami Levy stores across Green Line to be equipped with cameras, metal detectors and more guards-By Times of Israel staff February 22, 2016, 4:30 pm

Days after an Israeli man was killed by Palestinian assailants at a Rami Levy grocery store in the Sha’ar Binyamin settlement, the discount supermarket chain on Monday announced that bolstered security measures would be implemented at all of their stores in the West Bank.The announcement came after two senior Rami Levy executives attended a security hearing at the request of police who, after the attack, said the store’s lax security was partly to blame for the Thursday stabbing that killed 21-year-old off-duty soldier Tuvia Yanai Weissman.Under the new security measures outlined by police, Rami Levy locations in the West Bank must be equipped with security cameras, metal detectors and an increased number of guards, Channel 2 reported.Police noted the hearing was held in a “positive atmosphere” and said the Rami Levy representatives offered to extend the ramped up security measures to some of their Jerusalem locations.The executives said a metal detector had already been erected at the store in Sha’ar Binyamin.According to a report Monday in the Hebrew-language NRG news website, Israeli security forces have barred Palestinians under the age of 25 from entering Sha’ar Binyamin Industrial Zone until further notice.Like dozens of other attacks in recent months, the fatal stabbing on Thursday was carried out by two Palestinian teens, Omar Rimawi and Ihad Sabah, both 14, from the nearby village of Beitunia outside Ramallah.Investigators found that Rimawi and Sabah, who stabbed Weissman to death and seriously wounded another man, were able to bring knives into the store without being inspected by the security guard at the entrance.Security footage from the attack showed that three Palestinians sought to enter the supermarket. A security guard turned one away, but allowed Rimawi and Sabah in without a physical check.After the attack, officials ordered the store shuttered until serious security flaws were remedied. The Rami Levy chain also faced a forced closure of all four of its West Bank stores unless security was boosted across the board.A senior police official told Channel 2 news Sunday the measures were intended mainly a deterrent to other businesses to increase their vigilance.Rami Levy, the owner of the eponymous discount supermarkets, insisted Sunday that security arrangements at the site were adequate, and said it was only extreme bad luck that the terrorist attack had not been prevented.Weissman, a dual Israeli-US citizen and resident of the West Bank settlement of Ma’ale Mikhmas, was stabbed and critically injured while shopping with his wife, Yael, and 4-month-old daughter, Neta. He later died of his wounds in the hospital.Sabah and Rimawi were shot by an armed civilian who rushed to the scene after hearing screaming. Sabah died of his wounds, while Rimawi remains hospitalized.Police later released photographs from the supermarket showing blood splattered on the floor of an aisle stocked with laundry detergent on display near a shopping cart.

After killing Dafna Meir, teen terrorist went home to watch movie — indictment-Charge sheet against 16-year-old Palestinian, accused of murdering mother of six with knife, provides chilling details of the attack-By Judah Ari Gross February 22, 2016, 8:13 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

On January 17, Morad Bader Abdullah Adais went into his kitchen, took a knife that his family used for cutting meat and decided to use it to kill Jews, according to the indictment filed against him Monday.Earlier that day, the 16-year-old had been watching Palestinian television, notably the “Falastin” and “Ma’an” networks, and videos posted on Facebook, which described Israeli soldiers as murderers who “disgraced young Palestinian women,” Adais told his Shin Bet security service interrogators.At approximately four o’clock in the afternoon, Adais took the six-inch (14-centimeter) knife from his kitchen and set out for Otniel, where he planned to kill residents and eventually “die a holy death as a martyr.”According to the indictment, he then climbed the fence into the Otniel settlement and began searching for a victim.A short time later, Adais spotted Dafna Meir, a 39-year-old biological mother of four and foster mother to two. Meir, a nurse at Beersheba’s Soroka Medical Center, was speaking on the phone in her house.Meir, as a religious woman, had her hair covered and was clearly identifiable as a Jewish resident of the West Bank settlement.After a few minutes, Meir hung up the phone and handed the device to one of her children. As she walked outside, Adais ran at her with the knife in his hand.Adais plunged the knife into her stomach in the doorway to her family’s home. Meir and her children began screaming as she grappled with the terrorist, trying to push him out of the house and away from her and her kids, the indictment said.But Adais overpowered the mother of six. He stabbed Meir a number of times in the upper body before finally stabbing her in the head, above her right eye, according to the charges against him.Adais tried to remove the knife in order to continue his rampage, but was unable to do so. He fled the scene, as Meir lay on the floor of her kitchen bleeding to death.When Adais returned home, he “realized that he had blood on his left hand, and washed it off. Afterwards, he sat down to watch a movie with his family,” according to the indictment.Two days later, on January 19, soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces’ elite Duvdevan Unit arrested Adais in the nearby village of Beit Amra. He was handed over to the Shin Bet for questioning. There he confessed to the murder and provided many of the details in the case.In addition to the crime of murder, Adais has been charged with illegally carrying a knife.

US envoy takes a ride in Israeli driverless car-Dan Shapiro says he’s ‘impressed’ with MobilEye’s technology, as car cruises autonomously on Jerusalem highway-By Times of Israel staff February 18, 2016, 7:43 pm

US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro recently went for a spin on Israeli company MobilEye’s driverless car and left impressed.Shapiro joined MobilEye CEO Ziv Aviram for a drive on a highway outside Jerusalem, in a vehicle sporting MobilEye’s innovative autonomous car technology.“I have to say this is the first time I’ve ever been in a vehicle where the driver was not in control and I already feel much much safer than I ever would have imagined,” Shapiro said in a video of the ride released by the US Embassy on Thursday. “I can see that it’s probably safer than if a driver was in control of the vehicle, because drivers can be distracted but this vehicle cannot.”MobilEye currently sells driver assistance technology intended to prevent accidents. In recent years it has been one of the major developers of autonomous car technology, and its systems come preinstalled in cars made by companies including Audi and Tesla Motors. It’s systems use video cameras and advanced algorithms to identify and respond to other vehicles, bends in the road, pedestrians and traffic signs.“His hands are not on the wheel, his feet are not on the pedals, and the car is able to completely navigate at a safe speed and aware of all its surroundings,” an enthusiastic Shapiro said in the video.“So it’s pretty impressive and I’m looking forward to ‘driving’ one of these myself.”MobilEye raised nearly a billion dollars in its initial public offering at the New York Stock Exchange in July 2014, making it the largest ever Israeli IPO. It was founded in 1999 by Aviram and Amnon Shashua, the Hebrew University professor who developed the technology.

Cameron: No second chance after Brexit vote By Eszter Zalan-FEB 22,16-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 20:17-British prime minister David Cameron warned that the UK would not be able to negotiate another deal, and have another referendum in case British voters chose to leave the EU in a referendum set for 23 June.Cameron, who sealed a deal with fellow EU leaders last week on a reformed UK membership of the EU, set out the agreement to lawmakers Monday.In a thinly veiled attack on London mayor Boris Johnson, who Sunday said he would support the UK leaving the EU and suggested that a better deal for the UK and another referendum would be possible after a No vote, Cameron said: “This is a vital and final decision for our country”.The Conservative Party leader outlined to lawmakers that if British voters voted to leave, he would invoke article 50 of the Lisbon treaty, the mechanism for exiting the bloc.It would trigger two years of negotiations, after which the UK would be presented with a package by the EU.Cameron warned however that after two years if there is no agreement then exit is automatic, unless all other 27 members agree to delay it.“It is not an invitation to rejoin,” Cameron said, adding this would create uncertainty, endanger jobs, as 53 trade deals and access to the single market would be cut immediately.Aiming at his Tory rival, Johnson, and his idea of a second referendum, Cameron said: “I won't dwell on the irony that some people who want to leave want to use a leave vote to remain. I know a number of couples who have begun divorce proceedings, but none who have done so to renew their marriage vows”.-Risk national security-Cameron warned the House of Commons it was not the time to divide Europe, amid threats from ISIS and Russia.“The challenges facing the West today are genuinely threatening ... In my view this is no time to divide the West,” he told parliament.“The only person I can think of who would like us to leave the EU is Vladimir Putin,” he added.Cameron also warned that that a vote to leave the EU would risk Britain's economic and national security.The fear of Brexit drove Britain’s currency, the pound sterling, down to its lowest level in almost seven years, when it was in the midst of the financial crisis.The pound has traded as low as $1.406, a fall of more than three cents (or 2.3 percent) since Friday night.Moody’s credit rating agency also warned that Brexit would be bad for the UK economy.In an apparent rebuttal of comments made by senior Tory politician Iain Duncan Smith, Europe's policing agency said Monday that Britain's citizens could be left more vulnerable to attacks by terror groups and organised crime gangs if they decided to leave the European Union."I see a very clear picture of the UK's dependency on the EU to help protect its security interest," Europol's director Rob Wainwright said in The Hague.He warned the UK "will no longer have the benefits that it currently has", direct access to databases, taking part in intelligence projects and other areas.Duncan Smith had said that remaining in the EU made the UK more vulnerable to a Paris-style terrorism attack.-Brussels not in campaign mode-The European Commission said Monday it would not take part in the campaign to keep Britain in the EU.“The commission will not campaign, will not take part in the campaign,” spokesman Margaritis Schinas told journalists.“I don't see the commission having a role in a campaign that is for the British people and the British people alone,” he added.The commission has not always been so firm. The EU executive strongly supported the ‘Yes’ vote in the lead up to a Greek referendum on the EU-IMF bailout terms in July last year.“A 'No' would mean ... that Greece had said no to Europe,” EU commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker had said ahead of the vote.

Russia wants to fly over US with advanced digital camera-Associated Press By DEB RIECHMANN-FEB 22,16-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON (AP) — Russia will ask permission on Monday to start flying surveillance planes equipped with high-powered digital cameras amid warnings from U.S. intelligence and military officials that such overflights help Moscow collect intelligence on the United States.Russia and the United States are signatories to the Open Skies Treaty, which allows unarmed observation flights over the entire territory of all 34 member nations to foster transparency about military activity and help monitor arms control and other agreements. Senior intelligence and military officials, however, worry that Russia is taking advantage of technological advances to violate the spirit of the treaty.Russia will formally ask the Open Skies Consultative Commission, based in Vienna, to be allowed to fly an aircraft equipped with high-tech sensors over the United States, according to a senior congressional staffer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the staff member wasn't authorized to discuss the issue publicly.The request will put the Obama administration in the position of having to decide whether to let Russia use the high-powered equipment on its surveillance planes at a time when Moscow, according to the latest State Department compliance report, is failing to meet all its obligations under the treaty. And it comes at one of the most tension-filled times in U.S.-Russia relations since the end of the Cold War, with the two countries at odds over Russian activity in Ukraine and Syria."The treaty has become a critical component of Russia's intelligence collection capability directed at the United States," Adm. Cecil D. Haney, commander of the U.S. Strategic Command, wrote in a letter earlier this year to Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., chairman of a House subcommittee on strategic forces."In addition to overflying military installations, Russian Open Skies flights can overfly and collect on Department of Defense and national security or national critical infrastructure," Haney said. "The vulnerability exposed by exploitation of this data and costs of mitigation are increasingly difficult to characterize."A State Department official said Sunday that treaty nations had not yet received notice of the Russian request, but that certification of the Russian plane with a "digital electro-optical sensor" could not occur until this summer because the treaty requires a 120-day advance notification. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the issue publicly.The official also said that the treaty, which was entered into force in 2002, establishes procedures for certifying digital sensors to confirm that they are compliant with treaty requirements. The official said all signatories to the treaty agree that "transition from film cameras to digital sensors is required for the long-term viability of the treaty."In December, Rose Gottemoeller, undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, sought to temper concerns about Russian overflights, saying that what Moscow gains from the observation flights is "incremental" to what they collect through other means."One of the advantages of the Open Skies Treaty is that information — imagery — that is taken is shared openly among all the treaty parties," she said at a joint hearing of the House Foreign Affairs and Armed Services committees in December. "So one of the advantages with the Open Skies Treaty is that we know exactly what the Russians are imaging, because they must share the imagery with us."Still, military and intelligence officials have expressed serious concern."The open skies construct was designed for a different era," Lt. Gen. Vincent Stewart, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told lawmakers when asked about the Russian overflights during a congressional hearing. "I'm very concerned about how it's applied today."Robert Work, deputy secretary of defense, told Congress: "We think that they're going beyond the original intent of the treaty and we continue to look at this very, very closely."Steve Rademaker, former assistant secretary of state for the bureau of arms control and the bureau of international security and nonproliferation, told Congress at a hearing on security cooperation in Europe in October that Russia complies with the Open Skies Treaty, but has "adopted a number of measures that are inconsistent with the spirt" of the accord.The treaty, for instance, obligates each member to make all of its territory available for aerial observation, yet Russia has imposed restrictions on surveillance over Moscow and Chechnya and near Abkhazia and South Ossetia, he said. Russian restrictions also make it hard to conduct observation in the Kaliningrad enclave, said Rademaker, who believes Russia is "selectively implementing" the treaty "in a way that suits its interests."

Austria plans Western Balkan meeting on migrant caps By Nikolaj Nielsen-FEB 22,16-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 09:00-Austria is asking Western Balkan nations and Bulgaria to meet to discuss the migrant crisis, ahead of a gathering of EU interior ministers in Brussels.The move follows Austria's decision last week to cap the daily number of asylum applications to 80, and allow 3,200 migrants to travel through its territory each day.The decision roused fears of bottlenecks along the Balkan route and further border clamp downs and drew sharp criticism from Germany and the European Commission.The Austria meeting will take place on Wednesday (24 February) and will be attended by ministers from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia, reports Reuters.The aim is reportedly to clarify Austria's border restrictions, its implications, and how best to coordinate efforts along the Balkan route.Austria's interior minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner and foreign minister Sebastian Kurz have sent invitations.Despite criticism from some of her peers, Mikl-Leitner said she intended to impose further restrictions.The gathering on Wednesday may build on a separate pact agreed last week by police chiefs from Austria, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia and Serbia.-Afghan bottleneck-All five agreed to organise joint transport of migrants directly from the Macedonia-Greece border to Austria, where they can opt to stay or continue to Germany.“We’ll sign a joint statement on how to profile and transport the migrants from the Greek-Macedonian border to Germany,” Vlado Dominic, chief of the Croatian police, told Balkan Insight.EU interior ministers the following day will meet in Brussels to discuss new efforts to document everyone who passes through an external border. They will also discuss a new European border and coast guard proposal.Meanwhile, Macedonia is reportedly stopping Afghan nationals from entering from Greece.The Macedonian police told AP they had taken the measure because of a similar block imposed by Serbia, which in turn blamed Austria and Slovenia.Greek police on Sunday (21 February) confirmed to AP that Afghans were no longer being admitted into Macedonia."The authorities of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia informed us that, beginning at dawn Sunday, they no longer accept Afghan refugees because the same problem exists at their border with Serbia," said a Greek police spokesperson.Police in Macedonia are also reportedly now only allowing people with valid identification documents to pass.

US, Russia announce Syria ceasefire, excluding strikes on IS-Halt in hostilities to come into effect on February 27; deal also won’t ban raids on al-Qaeda affiliate-By Maeva Bambuck and Bradley Klapper February 22, 2016, 7:46 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The US and Russia on Monday announced an agreement for a cessation of hostilities in Syria, which will exclude attacks on the Islamic State group and al-Qaeda’s local affiliate.The ceasefire will come into effect on February 27.The officials said earlier that the two sides have agreed on the terms and conditions for the “cessation of hostilities.” The formal announcement had been expected after presidents Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin speak on the matter by telephone. The officials weren’t authorized to speak about the matter publicly and demanded anonymity.The announcement caps weeks of diplomacy that intensified in the past few days, aimed at reaching a temporary truce that would allow the parties to return to the negotiating table in Geneva. A first round of indirect talks collapsed rapidly last month after the government launched a massive offensive backed by Russian airstrikes in the northern province of Aleppo, near the Turkish border.Residents of the Syrian capital earlier Monday expressed skepticism about talk of a “provisional agreement” for a truce, a day after a wave of Islamic State bombings killed about 130 people in government-held areas near Damascus and another city.Details of the tentative ceasefire between the government and insurgents, announced in Jordan on Sunday by US Secretary of State John Kerry, have not been made public. Even if a truce were to take hold, IS would not be a party to it.The Russian Foreign Ministry put out a statement earlier Monday saying that Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Kerry spoke by telephone on Sunday and agreed on the parameters for the ceasefire.The statement said those parameters were then reported to Putin and Obama. No further details were immediately available.The UN’s special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, told The Associated Press on Monday that this week is shaping up as “crucial” for diplomatic efforts to help end the fighting, though he declined to provide details of the negotiations.Sunday’s blasts that ripped through the Sayyida Zeinab suburb of Damascus and the central city of Homs were among the deadliest bombings in government-held areas in Syria’s devastating civil war.The Islamic State group claimed both attacks. The extremists are dug in on the outskirts of the two cities and have repeatedly targeted pro-government strongholds.De Mistura condemned the bombings and said it suggested the group is feeling “cornered” amid an intensified diplomatic push to end the five-year war. The US also condemned the “barbaric terrorist attacks.”Inside the Hamidiyeh Souk, a popular Damascus bazaar which is typically crowded with shoppers, people said they were worried that a ceasefire would not be evenly observed and could leave the Syrian authorities vulnerable.“I hope there will be no ceasefire, because if there is a ceasefire, Turks will increase their support for criminals and traitors,” said Ahmad al-Omar from the northern Aleppo province, adding that Turkey may seek to let opposition fighters in via its border with Syria.Others at the bazaar echoed Syrian President Bashar Assad’s statements that a ceasefire could give an advantage to rebel forces and the Islamic State group.“I believe that those proposals now are … a pretext to stop the advance of the Syrian army, which is trying to liberate the homeland,” said Ahmad al-Issa.The Associated Press reported from the bazaar on a government-approved visit.On Monday, the Kremlin announced that Putin spoke with the emir of Qatar, a key supporter of the rebels fighting to topple Assad. The two sides agreed “to intensify bilateral contacts at various levels to facilitate the settlement of the crisis,” the statement said. Putin also discussed Syria with King Salman of Saudi Arabia, another leading backer of the rebels, in a phone conversation on Friday.Syrian officials said the government was ready to take part in a truce as long as it is not used by militants to reinforce their positions. Syrian troops backed by Russian warplanes are waging a major offensive in the northern Aleppo province, trying to seal the border with Turkey, a key supporter of the rebels, before any truce is reached.Meanwhile, the Syrian government’s supply route by land to the city of Aleppo was cut by heavy fighting Monday as the army, supported by allied militias and the Russian air force, fought to consolidate its recent gains in the northern province.The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of contacts to monitor the war, said Islamic militias assaulted government-held positions around Khanaser, a town southeast of Aleppo, setting off intense clashes that have lasted through the day. Khanaser lies along the government’s only access route to the city.Fighting has been fierce in Aleppo province in recent weeks amid a government offensive to cut off the rebel stronghold.Among the youth sitting around the Syrian capital’s landmark Omayyad mosque, at the entrance of the old souks, few wanted to talk politics.Those who did expressed their wariness of a political solution after several rounds of unsuccessful peace talks. “It’s good for the Syrians to stop fighting but it will not happen,” said Awuj Aqeel, a student.“Every time they agree on a truce for a period of time and then they break it.”

US Uses $400M F-22 Raptor Jets in Syria Despite Not Needing Them-ABC News By LEE FERRAN-FEB 22,16-YAHOONEWS

For years they were the highly-advanced aircraft without a mission, decried by critics as having been built from more than $80 billion in taxpayer dollars for an enemy that doesn’t exist. But now, more than a decade after the first jets went operational, the next-generation stealth F-22 Raptors are... still looking for that enemy, and settling for bombing militants in Syria and Iraq in the meantime.The jets, some of the most sophisticated and priciest stealth fighter planes ever built, are not sitting out the Air Force’s latest aerial operations in Iraq and Syria, as they did in previous campaigns in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. Since their maiden mission in September 2014, F-22s have been “operating regularly” in the anti-ISIS campaign and have dropped more than 200 bombs on targets in 150 sorties, according to the Air Force.“We have generally been tasked to target and destroy Daesh [ISIS] training camps, vehicle-borne improvised explosive device manufacturing and storage facilities, fighting areas, various [ISIS] headquarters facilities and [ISIS-controlled] oil distribution capabilities,” Air Force Capt. Joseph Simms said in a statement provided to ABC News. “The F-22s have been instrumental in taking out a lot of high-value targets.”But these missions are not the ones for which the air-to-air combat specialist F-22 was initially designed, and the Air Force acknowledges that the pricey planes don’t necessarily need to be the ones conducting them.“The F-22 isn’t an operational necessity,” Air Force spokesperson Maj. Tim Smith told ABC News, “but it is one of the great tools that can be used in this conflict to deliver airstrikes with precision.”The Raptor was designed and developed in the late 1980s and 1990s with potential showdowns against the sophisticated militaries of Russia or China in mind -- not the series of drawn-out conflicts against poorly trained and equipped but nonetheless persistent foes like al Qaeda, the Taliban and, now, ISIS that came to pass. The U.S. government initially ordered more than 600 Raptors, but funding for new planes was cut off in 2009 and less than 200 of them were actually delivered, sending the price-per-plane skyrocketing to over $400 million including research and development costs. Then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates outlined the logic of the move in 2009:“The F-22 is clearly a capability we do need -- a niche, silver bullet solution for one or two potential scenarios -- specifically the defeat of a highly advanced enemy fighter fleet,” Gates said then. “[But] the F-22, to be blunt, does not make much sense anyplace else in the spectrum of conflict.”In 2011 Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was more blunt when speaking with ABC News’ Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross. “Facts are stubborn things,” the senator said. “[The F-22] has not flown a single combat mission... I don’t think the F-22 will ever be seen in the combat it was designed to counter, because that threat is no longer in existence.”Now in Syria and Iraq and still lacking a "highly advanced enemy fighter fleet" to battle, the Air Force appears to be attempting to broaden the F-22’s spectrum by giving the planes missions more generally suited for air-to-ground attackers like the cheaper F-16 or, eventually, the F-22’s next-generation trouble-prone cousin, the F-35 Lightning.Though not totally necessary, Air Force officials have praised some of the bonuses the F-22 brings to the table in Operation Inherent Resolve. Last July, an unidentified squadron commander said in an Air Force press release that the F-22 is able to use its stealth capabilities to “operate much closer to non-coalition surface-to-air missiles and fighter aircraft with little risk of detection.” The unnamed lieutenant colonel also said the F-22’s munitions are “extremely accurate from very long distances and [have] the lowest collateral damage potential of any weapon in our inventory.”Maj. Smith told ABC News the plane has also shown its value by assuming the position of a kind of “aerial quarterback” in the complex airspace of Iraq and Syria.“Although we don’t have Syria, Russia or others actively opposing our air operations in the region, with the number of air defenses and aircraft from different nations at play, there is a demand for the kind of ‘aerial quarterback’ capabilities the F-22 provides that wasn’t present to the same degree in earlier operations over Iraq or Afghanistan,” he said.Air Force Gen. Hawk Carlisle touched on the “quarterback” quality in a speech at last February’s Air Force Association Air Warfare Symposium when he said the F-22 can “go to areas where other aircraft can’t, re-role and mission manage the entire force.” Air Force Times then paraphrased Carlisle’s remarks, reporting the F-22 could change mid-mission from an escort to “using its advanced sensors and avionics to help control other aircraft and change targets.”“The airplane has performed fantastically,” Carlisle said. “When you have F-22s in a package, every single airplane in that package is better because the F-22s are there.”The plane's performance has apparently even won over Sen. McCain."The ability of the F-22 to hold Putin's fighters, Assad's surface-to-air missiles, and other ground targets at risk, while simultaneously servicing [ISIS] targets, is a testament to its undeniable operational flexibility," McCain said Friday in a statement provided to ABC News.Supporters of the F-22, back in 2009 and more recently, say that the plane will really be worth its enormous price tag if the U.S. ever enters into conflict with Russia or China, as both nations are developing their own next-generation stealth fighters to rival the Raptor.In the meantime, the Air Force is looking for other ways to leverage the advanced fighters both through bombing missions in Iraq and Syria and in so-called "deterrent" missions elsewhere in the world -- missions in which the U.S. hopes that having the Raptors nearby will be enough to scare enemies straight. Last week four F-22s flew in formation with South Korean fighters over the Korean Peninsula in a move the Air Force said was meant to "demonstrate the strong alliance" between the U.S. and South Korea.The flights happened to take place days after North Korea unsettled the international community by launching a long-range missile.

US rejected N.Korea peace treaty bid: State Dept-AFP-FEB 22,16-YAHOONEWS

Washington (AFP) - The United States said Sunday it received a North Korean proposal to discuss a peace treaty for the Korean peninsula but rejected it when Pyongyang refused to consider reducing its nuclear arsenal.State Department spokesman John Kirby disclosed the exchange when asked about a Wall Street Journal report that President Barack Obama's administration had secretly agreed to peace talks to formally end the Korean War of 1950 to 1953, days before Pyongyang carried out its latest nuclear test early this year.That January 6 test -- the country's fourth after previous tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013 -- brought an end to the exploratory contacts that took place at the United Nations, where US and North Korean diplomats can mingle informally in the absence of formal relations between their two countries, the Journal reported."‎To be clear, it was the North Koreans who proposed discussing a peace treaty," Kirby told reporters traveling with Secretary of State John Kerry in Amman, Jordan."We carefully considered their proposal, and made clear that denuclearization had to be part of any such discussion," he added."The North rejected our response. ‎Our response to the NK proposal was consistent with our long-standing focus on denuclearization.‎"Citing unnamed US officials familiar with the matter, the Journal claimed the White House had dropped a long-standing condition to talks -- that North Korea first take steps to cut back its nuclear arsenal."Instead the US called for North Korea's atomic-weapons program to be simply part of the talks," the newspaper reported.In response to the North's January nuclear test, which triggered global concern and condemnation, the UN Security Council agreed to roll out new measures to punish the reclusive Asian nation.And on Thursday, Obama signed off on new measures passed by the US Congress that tighten sanctions on anyone importing goods or technology related to weapons of mass destruction into North Korea, or anyone who knowingly engaged in human rights abuses.The measure also heaps additional financial pressure on the already-sanctioned regime of leader Kim Jong-Un, by aiming to cut down on money laundering and narcotics trafficking, two major illicit activities believed to be funneling millions of dollars into Kim's inner circle.

Indonesia sinks 27 foreign boats to stop illegal fishing-AFP-FEB 22,16-YAHOONEWS

Jakarta (AFP) - Indonesia sank 27 impounded foreign boats on Monday, a minister said, as the world's largest archipelago nation stepped up a campaign against illegal fishing in its waters.The empty vessels from the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Myanmar were blown up or scuttled at five separate locations across the country, said Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti.The boats had been all caught fishing illegally in the archipelago of more than 17,000 islands. Four Indonesian boats were also sunk after they were caught fishing without proper documentation."The government is taking stronger and firmer action to enforce regulations to keep our waters safe," Pudjiastuti, a key figure in the campaign against illegal fishing, told journalists.Indonesia has sunk foreign boats on several occasions since the government launched the drive to combat illegal fishing, with President Joko Widodo claiming the practice costs the country's economy billions of dollars annually.However, the campaign has caused tensions with other countries in the region. China last year expressed concern after a Chinese boat was blown up.

CAMPAIGN 2016-Trump’s fight with the lights offers glimpse of what GOP race will be like when there’s no one left for him to fight-Dylan Stableford-Senior editor-February 22, 2016-YAHOONEWS

When the lights suddenly went out during a Donald Trump rally in Atlanta on Sunday, the Republican frontrunner gave us a glimpse of what the race for the GOP nomination may look like if no one catches up to him.“Oh, I like that much better,” Trump told the crowd inside Georgia World Congress Center. “Those lights were brutal. Are they coming from the dishonest press?”According to NBC News, a protester had pulled a cable, turning them off. But when they came back on, the brash billionaire demanded that they remain off.“Don’t turn the lights on!” Trump said. “No, get those lights off. Off! Turn them off, they’re too bright. Turn them off!”The real estate mogul tried to turn the situation with the lights into a teachable moment.“We save on electricity, right? And because the lights don’t work, I won’t pay the rent — so, better lighting, and we don’t pay the rent. That’s the way we have to negotiate for our country … the lights go off, it’s better. We say we want the lights. Oh, it’s terrible, we take a big deduction off the rent because the lights are off, but it’s actually better. It’s the kind of sick thinking we really need for our country.”Trump’s rant came a day after his 10-point victory in the South Carolina primary — a bludgeoning that led former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, one of Trump’s favorite targets, to bow out of the race.“With no Bush as foil,” NBC News’ Ali Vitali wrote, “Trump rails against the light.”On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he believes it’s now a two-person race for the Republican nomination, with Trump and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio the last candidates standing.“The bigger advantage is to Trump,” McCarthy said. “He’s got the momentum. I think there’s more than a 50 percent chance he’s the nominee. And I think that’s what’s setting in for a lot of people. Could they get their heads around Trump being the nominee?”McCarthy was asked if he could work with a President Trump.“Oh, yeah, I think I can work with Donald Trump,” he said.Meanwhile, Rubio may soon find himself in Trump’s crosshairs.On Saturday, Trump retweeted a link to an online article questioning whether the Florida senator, whose parents are from Cuba, is eligible to be president.“@ResisTyr: Mr.Trump…BOTH Cruz AND Rubio are ineligible to be POTUS! It’s a SLAM DUNK CASE!! Check it! https://t.co/NjqWP0pP6X”— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)-February 20, 2016 -On ABC’s “This Week” Sunday, Trump was pressed by host George Stephanopoulos about floating another potential birther conspiracy theory.“Do you really believe that?” Stephanopoulos asked.“I think the lawyers have to determine that,” Trump replied. “It was a retweet, not so much with Marco. I’m not really that familiar with Marco’s circumstances.”Then why retweet it? “Because I’m not sure,” Trump said. “I mean, let people make their own determination.”He added: “I’ve never looked at it, George. I honestly have never looked at it. As somebody said, he’s not [eligible]. And I retweeted it. I have 14 million people between Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and I retweet things, and we start dialogue and it’s very interesting. And maybe that’s why I have 14 million people instead of 200 people, I don’t know.”

Inside Rubio and Cruz’s high-stakes ground-game battle in Nevada-Andrew Romano and Holly Bailey-February 21, 2016-YAHOONEWS

LAS VEGAS — Donald Trump has led the GOP field in every single poll taken in Nevada since he entered the race last June, often by as many as 20 percentage points. And after his resounding victory in South Carolina, the tinsel-haired mogul is the heavy favorite to win yet again when Nevada Republicans come out to caucus on Tuesday.But as recent back-to-back visits to the neighboring Las Vegas headquarters of Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz made clear, neither campaign seems particularly concerned about Trump — or any of the other Republican candidates — in the final days of the Silver State contest. They’re far more focused on each other.That’s because both camps believe that with Trump coasting on his celebrity as usual, they can reshape the results and beat expectations on caucus night by quietly and methodically mastering the unglamorous work of getting out the vote. Their thinking is that in a state where the polling is particularly unreliable, the process is particularly chaotic, and the turnout is particularly low, the ground game could have a bigger effect than anywhere else.“Oh, you have to see this,” a gray-haired Rubio volunteer with a thick Southern accent told Yahoo News, gesturing toward her laptop. On the screen was a picture of Cruz’s louche, smirking face superimposed on the body of a naked man lounging in a rubber-duck-filled bathtub — a cheeky response, posted online by a Rubio fan, to the Cruz campaign’s poorly Photoshopped image of Rubio shaking hands with President Obama.“He has all his ducks in order!” the volunteer chirped. “Isn’t that hilarious?”An hour later at Cruz HQ, which is tucked into a somewhat seedy strip mall a few doors down from a shop selling vaporizers and bongs, staffers could barely contain themselves when a reporter mentioned that he had just visited Rubio’s command post in the fancier office complex one block west on Tropicana Avenue.“How many people were there?” snapped Matthew Bell, a field representative for Cruz. “As many as we have here?” Told that the number of Rubio volunteers, about a dozen, matched the number of Cruz volunteers, Bell looked deflated.The mutual obsession makes perfect sense. Early on, Jeb Bush, who suspended his campaign Saturday after a distant fourth-place finish in South Carolina, built what was widely considered the best operation here; the consultant who was running his campaign, Ryan Erwin, led Mitt Romney to caucus victories in both 2008 and 2012. As Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison, Rubio’s Nevada campaign chairman, told Yahoo News, “Technically, Bush did everything right.” And yet the latest polls, taken before Bush dropped out, showed him in last place locally, behind even Ben Carson and John Kasich.Carson and Kasich remain in the race, but neither is poised to make much of an impact. Like Bush, Carson was on the ground early, but he has been losing steam for months, and his last-place showing in the Palmetto State won’t help. And Kasich isn’t even visiting Nevada between now and caucus day.That leaves Cruz and Rubio. With Trump appearing to hold a sizable lead — and with the two young senators from Florida and Texas having just finished neck-and-neck in South Carolina — the battle for second place will likely be the marquee event Tuesday night.Cruz and Rubio have been preparing for this moment for months. Caucuses are fairly new to Nevada — and confusing to voters; Republican turnout in 2012 was tiny: just 32,894 voters. (By comparison, 182,000 Republicans caucused earlier this month in Iowa.) Buoyed by his fellow Mormons, Mitt Romney managed to capture 50 percent of the vote four years ago — a huge win, but still only 16,486 votes. The campaigns cautiously expect a similar turnout this time; no one knows whether the number will go down without a Mormon in the race, or up because of increased interest among other Republicans. The bottom line, however, is that someone could come in second on Tuesday with fewer than 10,000 votes; the Rubio campaign, for one, says it has been preparing for a couple-hundred-vote race since the beginning.“In Nevada, organization is key,” Jeremy Hughes, Rubio’s state director, told Yahoo News. “I wouldn’t say it’s sexy, but it’s the grind work you’ve got to do to win elections here.”Rubio was up and running first, as early as a year ago, and his operation has been described as “the most organized and impressive … of the Republican field.” When Yahoo News shadowed the senator on a trip to Nevada in October, the key elements of his strategy — which is being shaped by Mike Slanker, the top political adviser for both Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada and the state’s junior senator, Dean Heller — were already in place. The Cruz campaign, meanwhile, has been playing catch-up.At every speech, Rubio made sure to remind voters that he’d spent part of his childhood in Las Vegas. His parents moved from Miami in 1979 and stayed until Rubio, now 44, was in the eighth grade. His dad tended bar at an off-Strip casino called Sam’s Club; his mother worked at the Imperial Palace.“Believe it or not, we still have more family in southern Nevada than in south Florida,” Rubio told one crowd. “So if I only win by 68 votes here, you’ll know why.”When Rubio returns to Nevada Sunday night, he will continue to harp on his local connections. His cousin Mo Denis is a state senator, and his other cousins have accompanied him to various events.“These other guys all come flying in, but only Marco knows what it’s like,” Slanker told Yahoo News. “He lived here.”The second piece of the puzzle is turnout, and the Rubio campaign is counting on two demographic groups in particular to put him over the top on Tuesday.“You have to remember who’s going to show up to caucus,” Slanker said. “There are going to be, like, seven people there. So you want to look to your most civic-minded people. Who is that in this state? It’s Mormons and seniors. It’s a powerful combination. If you can’t get those folks, you’re not going to win.”Mormons made up a quarter of caucus-goers in 2012, even though they represent only 4 percent of the state’s total population; senior citizens vastly outnumbered younger voters. Rubio’s itinerary in October was revealing in this regard. By far his biggest event, with more than 1,000 attendees, was at Sun City Summerlin, the largest “active adult” community in the state. Everywhere the senator went, he was introduced by Lt. Gov. Hutchison — the state’s most prominent Mormon politician. (As a kid in Las Vegas, Rubio himself was briefly a member of the Mormon Church.) Later, Rubio made a point of visiting Boulder City, a Mormon enclave 20 miles outside Las Vegas, where he was accompanied and introduced by former Clark County Commissioner Bruce Woodbury, a man Slanker described as “the godfather of the Mormon Church in this state.” And when the senator returns to Nevada this week, he will be touring the Mormon-rich northern part of the state — Elko, Reno, Minden — with both Hutchison and Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who is also Mormon.“Other folks” — non-Mormons and non-seniors — “can’t figure it out,” Slanker explained. “The caucus will come and go, and they’ll be like, ‘Oh! I could have voted? Can I still vote?’”Not that the Rubio campaign is dismissing the rest of the electorate. It has people working in each of Nevada’s 17 counties; at five campaign offices scattered throughout the state, dozens of volunteers have been calling registered Republicans and trying to identify potential supporters. The important thing, as Hughes put it, is “finding your voters and making sure they know where to go.” Before Rubio speaks, Hughes’ team puts a supporter commitment card and a printout explaining the caucus process on every seat; the literature steers voters to caucus.marcorubio.com, which then allows them to look up their caucus sites while providing the campaign with crucial data.“It’s a dedicated website that tells people where to go caucus,” Hughes said. “And because we know that John Smith has found his voting location, we don’t have to waste a call on him. Meanwhile, Suzie over here hasn’t looked up her location yet — so we know we have to get in touch with her.”“By the time this is over, we will have met every caucus-goer and taught them how to caucus,” Slanker added.As the South Carolina campaign wound down, Rubio’s Las Vegas HQ was buzzing. Junk food — the sustenance of pretty much every political operation — was everywhere: Krispy Kreme boxes, jars of Skippy, bottles of Pepsi, Jack Link’s beef and cheese packages. Maps of precincts and framed photos of “top volunteers” lined the walls; a massive navy blue “Nevada Is Marco Rubio Country” sign hung nearby. Hutchison stood in the middle of the room recording a quick Web video — “Just wanted to remind everyone to get out and vote on Feb. 23!” — while volunteers on either side of him hunched over their laptops, running down a 412-page list of uncommitted voters and making calls. A spreadsheet pinned to the wall hinted at just how organized Rubio is: each local caucus site, from Arbor View High School to Western High School, with columns for captain, surrogate, rally coordinator and estimated turnout — 885 here, 717 there. It was a campaign in full swing.“This team has won statewide before,” Hutchison. “We’re doing the same thing with Rubio. We know how to win.”Around the corner at Cruz’s slightly more Spartan headquarters, the scene was similar. Similar maps, similar signs — if far fewer snacks. On a whiteboard, somebody had scrawled “Call record 3,263”: the most calls this particular office had made so far in a single day. Meanwhile, volunteers dialed donors and read from a script designed to convert them into “neighborhood leaders.”“Today, Ted’s volunteers are in full force building our ground game in Nevada,” they said into their cellphones. “And the most important part of our ground game is establishing local contacts in individual precincts so that every voter has the opportunity to hear Ted’s message.”Two weeks earlier, just one person had been manning the phones in what was then a bare-bones office; back in October, Rubio’s organization had dwarfed Cruz’s. But with the caucuses approaching, Cruz has ramped up operations in Nevada, bringing in ground staff from Iowa and holding multiple caucus- organizing sessions every day in Las Vegas — sessions that have attracted as many as 50 volunteers, many of whom are first-time voters, according to the campaign. Meanwhile, a Cruz aide told Yahoo News that phone banks across the state have made “hundreds of thousands of phone calls” in recent weeks as part of the campaign’s get-out-the-vote effort.“We’re hitting our targets,” said Matthew Bell, the Cruz field representative. This isn’t surprising; Cruz had by far the most sophisticated caucus operation in Iowa, and his Nevada team is drawing on that expertise to ensure that their voters turn out on Tuesday.Aides declined to provide specific numbers, but they said that Cruz has a mix of volunteer and paid staff in all 17 of Nevada’s counties. And while Cruz is also targeting Mormons, his biggest advantage over Rubio may be his laserlike focus on the more rural parts of the Silver State, where voters tend to be heavily conservative and more committed to caucusing.In January, Cruz scored the endorsement of state Attorney General Adam Laxalt. The grandson of a former governor, Laxalt won in 2014 by running against the establishment; he was also the first statewide official in a century to get elected without carrying Las Vegas or Reno. In recent weeks, Laxalt has been back on the trail, stumping for Cruz in the far-flung towns that carried him to victory two years ago—Winnemucca, Yerington, Elko, Ely.“We’re like that Johnny Cash song,” Ryan Hamilton, a Nevada political strategist who joined Cruz’s campaign last fall. “We’re going everywhere, to every town we can, to find support.”On Sunday, Laxalt joined Cruz in Pahrump — a libertarian outpost in the middle of one of the largest and least populous counties in the United States — for the candidate’s first caucus-week campaign stop. Men wore pistols on their hips; signs for the Chicken Ranch Brothel lined the road. In his speech, Cruz pivoted from the evangelical emphasis of his South Carolina campaign and channeled his inner Rand Paul instead, criticizing the Obama administration for eavesdropping on American citizens and promising to give the “85 percent” of Nevada land owned by the federal government “back to the state, back to the people.”“I’m thrilled to be surrounded by lovers of liberty,” Cruz said from the bed of a black pickup truck. “If every one of you gets 10 people to show up Tuesday night, the men and women standing in this parking lot can change the outcome of the Nevada caucuses.”As usual, Cruz is also reaching out to evangelicals; his father, Rafael, preached at a church in Las Vegas last year. But for the most part, the campaign is hoping that anti-establishment conservatives — voters who are still angry about a billion-dollar tax hike approved two years ago by the GOP-led state Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Sandoval — will turn out Tuesday in record numbers and propel Cruz past Rubio, and perhaps even Trump.“We think our message plays well with these disenfranchised Republicans,” Hamilton said. “They’ve voted for candidates who talked the talk during campaign season — but haven’t walked the walk in their governing.”

HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

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

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.(IN 1 HR THE STOCK MARKETS WORLDWIDE WILL CRASH)
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed:(CONFISCATED) their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

LUKE 2:1-3
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

REVELATION 13:16-18
16 And he(THE FALSE POPE WHO DEFECTED FROM THE CHRISTIAN FAITH) causeth all,(IN THE WORLD ) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(MICROCHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,(MICROCHIP IMPLANT) or the name of the beast,(WORLD DICTATORS NAME INGRAVED ON YOUR SKIN OR TATTOOED ON YOU OR IN THE MICROCHIP IMPLANT) or the number of his name.(THE NUMBERS OF HIS NAME INGRAVED IN THE MICROCHIP IMLPLANT)-(ALL THESE WILL TELL THE WORLD DICTATOR THAT YOUR WITH HIM AND AGAINST KING JESUS-GOD)
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:(WORLD LEADER) for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM (6006006)OR(60020202006)(SOME KIND OF NUMBER IMPLANTED IN THE MICROCHIP THAT TELLS THE WORLD DICTATOR AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER THAT YOU GIVE YOUR TOTAL ALLIGIENCE TO HIM AND NOT JESUS)(ITS AN ETERNAL DECISION YOU MAKE)(YOU CHOOSE YOUR OWN DESTINY)(YOU TAKE THE DICTATORS NAME OR NUMBER UNDER YOUR SKIN,YOUR DOOMED TO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND TORMENTS FOREVER,NEVER ENDING MEANT ONLY FOR SATAN AND HIS ANGELS,NOT HUMAN BEINGS).OR YOU REFUSE THE MICROCHIP IMPLANT AND GO ON THE SIDE OF KING JESUS AND RULE FOREVER WITH HIM ON EARTH.YOU CHOOSE,ITS YOUR DECISION.

1 KINGS 10:13-14
13 And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.
14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,

GENESIS 49:16-17
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.

REVELATION 6:5-6
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.(A DAYS WAGES FOR A LOAF OF BREAD)

EARTHQUAKES

EZEKIEL 37:7,11-14
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.(POSSIBLE QUAKE BRINGS ISRAEL BACK TO LIFE-SO NOISE AND SHAKING-QUAKES WILL ALSO DESTROY ISRAELS ENEMIES)
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.

MATTHEW 24:7-8
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

MARK 13:8
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:(ETHNIC GROUP AGAINST ETHNIC GROUP) and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

LUKE 21:11
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places,(DIFFERNT PLACES AT THE SAME TIME) and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
