SINCE WHAT ISRAEL READS WILL BE FULFILLED IN THAT WEEK I WILL BE PUTTING THE WEEKLY TORAH PORTION ON FOR ALL OF US TO KEEP TRACK OF ISRAEL HAPPENINGS.
TORAH PORTION FROM JULY 12 2009 6PM - JULY 18 6PM 2009
NUMBERS 30:2 - 32:42
2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
3 If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth;
4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
5 But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
6 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
8 But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.
9 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
11 And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
12 But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
14 But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.
15 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
16 These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house.
NUMBERS 31:1-54
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
20 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
28 And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
29 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.
30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
36 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
37 And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve.
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and one.
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD'S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
43 (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44 And thirty and six thousand beeves,
45 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
46 And sixteen thousand persons;)
47 Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
48 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
NUMBERS 32:1-42
1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;
2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.
9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
10 And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,
11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
13 And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
19 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
22 And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
28 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
29 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.
33 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
36 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
PROPHETS PORTION
JEREMIAH 1:1-2:3
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
2 To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
12 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
13 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.
14 Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.
16 And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
17 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
18 For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.
19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
3 Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.
4 Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:
NEW TESTAMENT PORTION
MATTHEW 5:33-37
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
SINCE WHAT ISRAEL READS WILL BE FULFILLED IN THAT WEEK I WILL BE PUTTING THE WEEKLY TORAH PORTION ON FOR ALL OF US TO KEEP TRACK OF ISRAEL HAPPENINGS.
TORAH PORTION FROM JULY 05 2009 6PM - JULY 11 6PM 2009
NUMBERS 25:10 - 30:1
10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
18 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
NUMBERS 26:1-65
1 And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
2 Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.
3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
4 Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt.

54 To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him.
55 Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

63 These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
64 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
65 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
NUMBERS 27:1-23
1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.
5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
6 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.
12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
16 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
20 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
NUMBERS 28:1-31
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering.
4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;
5 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
6 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
7 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.
8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
9 And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:
10 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;

13 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat offering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
14 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.
15 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD.
17 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
18 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein:

20 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;
21 A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs:

23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.
24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
25 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.
26 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:
27 But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;
28 And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,
29 A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs;
30 And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you.
31 Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their drink offerings.

40 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.
NUMBERS 30:1
1 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.
PROPHETS PORTION
1 KINGS 18:46-19:21
46 And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
3 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
6 And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
7 And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
9 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
15 And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
NEW TESTAMENT PORTION
MATTHEW 26:1-30
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
MARK 14:1-26
1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.
21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
LUKE 22:1-20
1 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
2 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
JOHN 2:13-22
13 And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
JOHN 7:1-13,37-39
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
JOHN 11:55-12:1
55 And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
JOHN 13:1
1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
JOHN 18:28,39
28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
JOHN 19:14
14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
ACTS 2:1-21
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
ACTS 12:3-4
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
ACTS 20:5-6,16
5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.
6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
ACTS 27:9-11
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
1 CORINTHIANS 5:6-8
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
1 CORINTHIANS 16:8
8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
HEBREWS 11:28
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

G8 leaders presented with gold coin symbolising future world currency
Source: BI-ME , Author: BI-ME staff Posted: Fri July 10, 2009 2:06 pm
INTERNATIONAL. World leaders attending the G8 summit in Italy have been presented with a gift from the past and one for the future.Handmade books portraying works by Neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova, as well as gold coins representing an imaginary future world currency were given to the participants at the opening of the three-day summit.The coins, made by Belgian Luc Luycx, who designed one side of the Euro coins, are called eurodollars,in a symbolic call for a common currency to unite Europe and the United States.They have a value of €2,800 (US$3,900) and were produced by the United Future World Currency, a group pushing the idea of a global currency.
JULY 10, 2009, 6:01 A.M. ET UPDATE:G8:Merkel:China Forex Idea Not Yet Practically Relevant
L'AQUILA, Italy (Dow Jones)--German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Friday that China's proposal on setting up a global reserve currency has not been an official topic at the summit here and any artificial global currency is not a relevant concept any time soon. I cannot remember that the issue has been addressed here in the official parts (of the meeting),Merkel said, when asked whether China has addressed the issue of the dominant world currency.I believe that what China has been proposed, namely some kind of artificial currency, is not yet of practical relevance in the near future. But it is obviously clear that there is a euro area which is also unfolding it's effects, this means we have still a very, very strong dollar area but it is being complemented by other currency areas.China recently renewed its call for a diversification of international reserve currencies and creating a super sovereign reserve currency, possibly based on the International Monetary Fund's Special Drawing Rights, or SDR.
Still, Merkel stressed that the brunt of the current crisis must not be carried disproportionally by some currency areas. It is important, and this has been addressed, that currencies aren't working against each others but that we will try to get into a fair currency arrangement to prevent the impact of the crisis to be rolled off one-sidedly to the disadvantage of certain regions,she said. Speaking to reporters in her final press conference at the Group of Eight summit, Merkel also said that strategies to reduce ballooning government debt levels caused by the financial crisis will be an issue only once the worst of the slump is over and it will then be important for markets to see a coordinated approach on the issue. In my opinion, and this is to a large extent shared by the industrialized nations, the reaching of the trough is not the time when we should begin with exit strategies but the point in time must be chosen in such a fashion that we will have made quite some progress when climbing out of the trough,Merkel said. She said that she expects the next Group of 20 summit in Pittsburgh in September to discuss the issue in this way.
For the markets, however, it is important to have reliable knowledge that a coordinated strategy exists which will of course be geared toward the economic situation in the individual countries but which must follow the same criteria, Merkel said.The lesson from the world economic crisis in the 1930s has been that the exit strategies have been implemented too abruptly and therefore helped cause new problems.We want to prevent this,Merkel said.This means we must opt for a slowly, target-orientated change in course and no abrupt change in policy from one day to the next.Leaders from the Group of Eight rich countries - U.K., Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the U.S. - are meeting here with emerging economies, including China, and African nations.The three-day summit ends Friday.-By Andrea Thomas, Dow Jones Newswires; +49-170-2215013; andrea.thomas@dowjones.com
India Joins Russia, China in Questioning U.S. Dollar Dominance
http://www.bloomberg.com/
Suresh Tendulkar, an economic adviser to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, said he is urging the government to diversify its $264.6 billion foreign-exchange reserves and hold fewer dollars. The major part of Indian reserves is in dollars -- that is something that’s a problem for us,Tendulkar, chairman of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, said in an interview yesterday in Aix-en-Provence, France, where he was attending an economic conference. Singh is preparing to join leaders from the Group of Eight industrialized nations -- the U.S., Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy, Canada and Russia -- at a summit in Italy next week which is due to tackle the global economy. China and Brazil will also send representatives to the summit.As the talks have neared, China and Russia have stepped up calls for a rethink of how global currency reserves are composed and managed, underlining a power shift to emerging markets from the developed nations that spawned the financial crisis.
There should be a system to maintain the stability of the major reserve currencies, Former Chinese Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan said in a speech in Beijing yesterday, highlighting China’s concerns about a global financial system dominated by the dollar.Fiscal and current-account deficits must be supervised as your currency is likely to become my problem, said Zeng, who is now the head of a research center under the government’s top economic planning agency. The People’s Bank of China said June 26 that the International Monetary Fund should manage more of members’ reserves.
Russian Proposals
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has repeatedly called for creating a mix of regional reserve currencies as part of the drive to address the global financial crisis, while questioning the dollar’s future as a global reserve currency. Russia’s proposals for the Group of 20 major developed and developing nations summit in London in April included the creation of a supranational currency. We will resume talks on the supranational currency proposal at the G-8 summit in L’Aquila on July 8-10, Medvedev aide Sergei Prikhodko told reporters in Moscow yesterday. Singh adviser Tendulkar said that big dollar holders face a prisoner’s dilemma in terms of managing their holdings.That’s why I’m telling them to do this,he said. He also said that world currencies need to adjust to help unwind trade imbalances that have contributed to the global financial crisis.The major imbalances which led to the current situation, the current account surpluses and deficits, have to be addressed,he said. Currency adjustment is one thing that suggests itself.
Emerging-Market Dependence
For all the complaints about the dollar, emerging markets such as India remain dependent on the currency of the U.S., the world’s largest economy and a $2.5 trillion export market. The IMF said June 30 that the share of dollars in global foreign- exchange reserves increased to 65 percent in the first three months of this year, the highest since 2007. Tendulkar said that the matter needs to be taken up in international talks, and that it emphasizes the need for those talks to go beyond the traditional G-8.They can meet if they want to,he said.The G-20 has a wider role, has representation of the countries that are likely to lead the recovery process.
IF THIS MAN IS INVOLVED … IT’S A SCAM
The David Icke Newsletter Goes Out On Sunday
His record on civil rights in Britain is simply horrific and he will take his Orwellian blueprint to Brussels on Rothschild-headed paper. If people think the European Union is already a fascist dictatorship masquerading as a democracy, which it is, wait till this guy starts. There is something else that follows Blair wherever he goes – war. He has never seen a war he didn’t want to join, so long as other people do the fighting and not him. Blair says whatever suits him and his masters at the time that he says it. It was Blair who said in 1997: Mine is the first generation able to contemplate the possibility that we may live our entire lives without going to war or sending our children to war.A few years later, one commentator said of this man of peace:Since Tony Blair took office a decade ago, he has committed British forces to action more often, and in more conflicts, than any Prime Minister since 1945.. Not only has this crusade embroiled them in what one officer called the most intense fighting since the Korean War, more than half a century ago, it is stretching their depleted resources to the limit.Blair went to war in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and Iraq and should he become EU President he will take Europe to war for his masters, the Rothschilds. They want a Third World War involving Europe, North America, Russia and China to bring in their world government dictatorship.Two of a kind from the Rothschild clone factory.

PRESS INTRUSION
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/this_week/8143920.stm
07/10/2009 EU control over City
Bill Cash in The Times writes: Sir, In your leading article (A missed opportunity, July 9), regarding the Government’s White Paper on the reform of financial markets, you rightly criticise the Government on a failure of leadership. You give three reasons. There is also a fourth, which is that the whole framework for financial regulation is being driven by the overarching jurisdiction of the European Union that will hand over the ultimate decisions to majority voting and the lethal use of co-decision and, finally, the European Court of Justice. This will undermine the City of London in favour of other European financial centres. Furthermore, all this will do nothing to help the global marketplace, given the failures of European laws and regulations such as the Stability and Growth Pact and the economic implosion of the eurozone with massive unemployment and market distortions. Alistair Darling replied to me and several other Members of Parliament on his statement, supinely conceding that we are governed by European directives, whether we like it or not. National supervision is a euphemism. In fact, there will be European control and jurisdiction and the City of London will be the loser, as will the UK economy as a whole.

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,(DEMONIC ANGELS IN HIGH PLACES) against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.(SPIRTIUAL DEMONIC PERSONS)
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
LUKE 4:5-7(BECAUSE SATAN OFFERS WORLD POWER, WORLD ORDERERS HAVE ACCEPTED SATANS GIFT)
5 And the devil, taking him (JESUS) up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
DANIEL 7:23-25
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
DANIEL 12:4,1
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
REVELATION 13:1-3,7,8,12,16-18
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
REVELATION 17:3,7,9-10,12,18
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Wednesday, 8 July 2009 POPE ENDORSES WORLD POLITICAL AUTHORITY
By Cliff Kincaid July 9, 2009 NewsWithViews.com
Some in the media are calling it just a statement about economic justice. But Pope Benedict XVI’s Charity in Truth statement, also known as an encyclical, is a radical document that puts the Roman Catholic Church firmly on the side of an emerging world government.In explicit and direct language, the Pope calls for a true world political authority to manage the affairs of the world. At the same time, however, the Pope also warns that such an international order could produce a dangerous universal power of a tyrannical nature and must be guarded against somehow.The New York Times got it right this time, noting the Pope’s call for a world political authority amounted to endorsement of a New World Economic Order, a long-time goal of the old Soviet-sponsored international communist movement. Bloomberg.com highlighted the Pope’s call for a new world order with teeth.The Pope’s shocking endorsement of a World Political Authority, which has prophetic implications for some Christians who fear that a global dictatorship will take power in the last days of man’s reign on earth, comes shortly after the United Nations Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis issued a call for global taxes and more powerful global institutions. U.N. General Assembly President, Miguel D’Escoto, a Communist Catholic Priest, gave a speechat the event calling on the nations of the world to revere Mother Earth but concluded with words from the Popeblessing the conference participants.The controversial Papal statement comes just before a meeting of the G-8 nations and a scheduled meeting between the Pope and President Obama at the Vatican on July 10.
Sounding like Obama himself, Pope Benedict says this new international order can be accomplished through reform of the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth.The teeth may come in adopting the global environmental agenda, which the Pope warmly embraces.Sounding like Al Gore, the Pope said that one pressing need is a worldwide redistribution of energy resources, so that countries lacking those resources can have access to them. He adds that This responsibility is a global one, for it is concerned not just with energy but with the whole of creation, which must not be bequeathed to future generations depleted of its resources.The Church has a responsibility towards creation and she must assert this responsibility in the public sphere,he explains.In a statement that sounds like an endorsement of a new global warming treaty, which will be negotiated at a U.N. conference in December, the Pope says,The international community has an urgent duty to find institutional means of regulating the exploitation of non-renewable resources, involving poor countries in the process, in order to plan together for the future.The technologically advanced societies can and must lower their domestic energy consumption, either through an evolution in manufacturing methods or through greater ecological sensitivity among their citizens.he declares.
In terms of how this new world political authority should look, the Pope says that it, too, should have teeth in the form of “the authority to ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties, and also with the coordinated measures adopted in various international forums.Pope Benedict declares that such an authority would need to be universally recognized and to be vested with the effective power to ensure security for all, regard for justice, and respect for rights.But the document, which is more than 30,000 words long, is contradictory in that it pretends that a world government can co-exist with freedom and democracy. For example, the statement calls for a greater degree of international ordering, marked by subsidiarity, for the management of globalization. The term subsidiarity is usually defined as having matters handled by local authorities, not international bureaucrats.In another example of double-speak, the Pope declares that Globalization certainly requires authority, insofar as it poses the problem of a global common good that needs to be pursued. This authority, however, must be organized in a subsidiary and stratified way, if it is not to infringe upon freedom and if it is to yield effective results in practice.He doesn’t explain how it will be possible for citizens to influence or control this world political authority when they are under its bureaucratic control.
In the statement about how the New World Order could turn into a tyranny, the Pope is also contradictory, declaring that...the principle of subsidiarity is particularly well-suited to managing globalization and directing it towards authentic human development. In order not to produce a dangerous universal power of a tyrannical nature, the governance of globalization must be marked by subsidiarity, articulated into several layers and involving different levels that can work together.Against, he doesn’t explain how people on the local or even national levels will be able to resist this tyranny.In a strong endorsement of foreign aid, the Pope says that In the search for solutions to the current economic crisis, development aid for poor countries must be considered a valid means of creating wealth for all.But there must be more. He says that...more economically developed nations should do all they can to allocate larger portions of their gross domestic product to development aid, thus respecting the obligations that the international community has undertaken in this regard.This statement seems to be an urgent call for fulfilment of the U.N.’s Millennium Development Goals, which involve an estimated $845 billion from the U.S. over a ten-year period.The Pope goes on to say that the social order should conform to the moral order, but the fact is that on moral issues such as abortion and homosexuality, the agenda of the United Nations is opposed to that of the Catholic Church. Even on capital punishment, there is disagreement. The U.N. opposes it while traditional church teaching (Section 2267 of the Catholic Catechism) allows it in certain cases.In his statement, the Pope declares that Some non-governmental Organizations work actively to spread abortion, at times promoting the practice of sterilization in poor countries, in some cases not even informing the women concerned. Moreover, there is reason to suspect that development aid is sometimes linked to specific health-care policies which de facto involve the imposition of strong birth control measures. Further grounds for concern are laws permitting euthanasia as well as pressure from lobby groups, nationally and internationally, in favour of its juridical recognition.What he doesn’t mention is that some of these groups operate through and with the support of the United Nations.Web Site: www.AIM.org E-Mail: cliff.kincaid@aim.org
Gore: U.S. Climate Bill Will Help Bring About Global Governance
Climate Depot Saturday, July 11, 2009
Former Vice President Al Gore declared that the Congressional climate bill will help bring about global governance.I bring you good news from the U.S., Gore said on July 7, 2009 in Oxford at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment, sponsored by UK Times.Just two weeks ago, the House of Representatives passed the Waxman-Markey climate bill,Gore said, noting it was very much a step in the right direction. President Obama has pushed for the passage of the bill in the Senate and attended a G8 summit this week where he agreed to attempt to keep the Earth’s temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees C.Gore touted the Congressional climate bill, claiming it will dramatically increase the prospects for success in combating what he sees as the crisis of man-made global warming.But it is the awareness itself that will drive the change and one of the ways it will drive the change is through global governance and global agreements.(Editor’s Note: Gore makes the global governance comment at the 1min. 10 sec. mark in this UK Times video.)Gore’s call for global governance echoes former French President Jacques Chirac’s call in 2000.
On November 20, 2000, then French President Chirac said during a speech at The Hague that the UN’s Kyoto Protocol represented the first component of an authentic global governance.For the first time, humanity is instituting a genuine instrument of global governance,Chirac explained. From the very earliest age, we should make environmental awareness a major theme of education and a major theme of political debate, until respect for the environment comes to be as fundamental as safeguarding our rights and freedoms. By acting together, by building this unprecedented instrument, the first component of an authentic global governance, we are working for dialogue and peace, Chirac added.Former EU Environment Minister Margot Wallstrom said, Kyoto is about the economy, about leveling the playing field for big businesses worldwide.Canadian Prime Minster Stephen Harper once dismissed UN’s Kyoto Protocol as a socialist scheme.
Global Carbon Tax Urged at UN Meeting
In addition, calls for a global carbon tax have been urged at recent UN global warming conferences. In December 2007, the UN climate conference in Bali, urged the adoption of a global carbon tax that would represent a global burden sharing system, fair, with solidarity, and legally binding to all nations.Finally someone will pay for these [climate related] costs, Othmar Schwank, a global tax advocate, said at the 2007 UN conference after a panel titled A Global CO2 Tax.Schwank noted that wealthy nations like the U.S. would bear the biggest burden based on the polluters pay principle.The U.S. and other wealthy nations need to contribute significantly more to this global fund,Schwank explained. He also added, It is very essential to tax coal.
The 2007 UN conference was presented with a report from the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment titled Global Solidarity in Financing Adaptation. The report stated there was an urgent need for a global tax in order for damages [from climate change] to be kept from growing to truly catastrophic levels, especially in vulnerable countries of the developing world.The tens of billions of dollars per year generated by a global tax would flow into a global Multilateral Adaptation Fund to help nations cope with global warming, according to the report.Schwank said a global carbon dioxide tax is an idea long overdue that is urgently needed to establish a funding scheme which generates the resources required to address the dimension of challenge with regard to climate change costs.
Redistribution of wealth
The environmental group Friends of the Earth advocated the transfer of money from rich to poor nations during the 2007 UN climate conference.A climate change response must have at its heart a redistribution of wealth and resources,said Emma Brindal, a climate justice campaigner coordinator for Friends of the Earth.[Editor's Note: Many critics have often charged that proposed climate tax and regulatory solutions were more important to the promoters of man-made climate fears than the accuracy of their science. Former Colorado Senator Tim Wirth reportedly said, We've got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing — in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.]
John Holdren, Obama’s Science Czar: Forced Abortions and Mass Sterilization Needed to Save the Planet Zombie Time Blog Saturday, July 11, 2009
Forced abortions. Mass sterilization. A Planetary Regime with the power of life and death over American citizens.The tyrannical fantasies of a madman? Or merely the opinions of the person now in control of science policy in the United States? Or both?
These ideas (among many other equally horrifying recommendations) were put forth by John Holdren, whom Barack Obama has recently appointed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology — informally known as the United States’ Science Czar. In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977, the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that:Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food;Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;People who contribute to social deterioration (i.e. undesirables) can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.A transnational Planetary Regime should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans’ lives — using an armed international police force.
Impossible, you say? That must be an exaggeration or a hoax. No one in their right mind would say such things.Well, I hate to break the news to you, but it is no hoax, no exaggeration. John Holdren really did say those things, and this report contains the proof. Below you will find photographs, scans, and transcriptions of pages in the book Ecoscience, co-authored in 1977 by John Holdren and his close colleagues Paul Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich. The scans and photos are provided to supply conclusive evidence that the words attributed to Holdren are unaltered and accurately transcribed.This report was originally inspired by this article in FrontPage magazine, which covers some of the same information given here. But that article, although it contained many shocking quotes from John Holdren, failed to make much of an impact on public opinion. Why not? Because, as I discovered when discussing the article with various friends, there was no proof that the quotes were accurate — so most folks (even those opposed to Obama’s policies) doubted their veracity, because the statements seemed too inflammatory to be true. In the modern era, it seems, journalists have lost all credibility, and so are presumed to be lying or exaggerating unless solid evidence is offered to back up the claims. Well, this report contains that evidence.Of course, Holdren wrote these things in the framework of a book he co-authored about what he imagined at the time (late 1970s) was an apocalyptic crisis facing mankind: overpopulation. He felt extreme measures would be required to combat an extreme problem. Whether or not you think this provides him a valid excuse for having descended into a totalitarian fantasy is up to you: personally, I don’t think it’s a valid excuse at all, since the crisis he was in a panic over was mostly in his imagination. Totalitarian regimes and unhinged people almost always have what seems internally like a reasonable justification for actions which to the outside world seem incomprehensible.

The World Health Organization states:The majority of those who died were pregnant, had asthma, diabetes or other chronic diseases…Moreover, extremely obese people are susceptible. As Bloomberg writes:Scientists don’t yet know whether extremely overweight people get sicker because of associated conditions like heart disease and asthma, or whether the excess fat itself makes them more vulnerable.The common thread in all of these conditions appears to me to be that swine flu killed people whose bodies were stressed - either by illness, extreme obesity or pregnancy. Pregnancy is a wonderful thing, but it is stressful to the mother’s body.Handwashing, good nutrition, higher doses of Vitamin D, exercise, adequate sleep and stress relief techniques – if you don’t know any others, just breathe slowly and deeply for several minutes – can only help. Some also claim that certain probiotics can help prevent the flu (see also this).This is not to say that proper medical precautions should not be taken or that medical treatment should not be sought. They should . . . but only to the extent that they cause more good than harm. For example, some vaccines are life savers, while others cause more deaths than they prevent (and see this).Update: I spoke with a very smart doctor, who generally agreed with my analysis. However, she explained that a woman’s immune system is depressed during pregnancy (so that the mother’s immune system won’t reject the baby) and that seriously obese people tend to also have health problems, such as asthma or diabetes.

China Quake Kills 1, Hurts 325; 18,000 Homes Toppled (Update2)
By Bloomberg News
July 10 (Bloomberg) -- An earthquake in China’s southwestern Yunnan province left one person dead and 325 injured, the provincial government said. More than 400,000 residents need to be relocated or evacuated after the magnitude-6.0 quake struck at 7:19 p.m. local time yesterday in Guantun Township, about 200 kilometers (124 miles) from the provincial city of Kunming, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. Eight aftershocks rattled the region as relief officials distributed tents, medicine and food to people whose homes were destroyed, Xinhua said. The Chinese People’s Liberation Army has sent more than 1,000 troops into the area to search for residents who might be buried under the rubble. A magnitude-5.0 quake struck the province at 5:02 p.m. today, 85 kilometers east of Dali, at a depth of 10 kilometers, the U.S. Geological Survey said. A magnitude-4.1 aftershock rocked the area last night, Xinhua said. About 18,000 houses were toppled and 75,000 buildings damaged across the province as of 8:30 a.m. today, the news service said.
Relief on Route
Officials in Yunnan plan to send 4,500 tents, 3,000 quilts and other relief items to the quake zone, Xinhua said. Teams from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the National Commission for Disaster Reduction and the China Earthquake Administration are heading to the epicenter. Sichuan province in central China is still recovering from last year’s 7.9-magnitude earthquake that killed almost 70,000 people, flattened 4.5 million homes and left millions homeless. It was the country’s deadliest natural disaster in almost three decades. About 3 percent of the 216,000 buildings that collapsed in the first two days after the Sichuan quake were schools, prompting parents to question whether shoddy construction added to the death toll. The government announced two months ago, shortly before the May 12 anniversary of the disaster, that 5,335 children were killed in the quake. The U.S. Geological Survey put the magnitude of yesterday’s main quake at 5.7 with a depth of 10 kilometers. The earthquake had no impact on mining or smelting operations at Yunnan Tin Co., Li Xia, an investor relations official, said by phone today. Yunnan Tin is the world’s biggest producer of the metal. Yunnan Aluminium Co. was also unaffected, Wang Jishi, an official at the company, said by phone.

Tens of thousands of people are camping in tents in southwestern China, days after a moderate earthquake destroyed thousands of homes, Chinese state media reports.One person was killed and 324 others were injured when the quake hit China's Yunnan province on Thursday.But officials scaled down their estimates on Saturday of how many people were affected by the quake.Initial reports said the quake displaced 400,000 people, but provincial authorities now say 250,000 people were left without homes, the Xinhua state news agency reported.The miscalculation was due in part to the chaos in the aftermath of the quake,Xinhua cited Cao Jianfang, a deputy provincial governor, as saying.
Magnitude discrepancy
The US Geological Survey said the earthquake was of a moderate 5.7 magnitude, and that it struck at 7:19pm local time (1119 GMT) on Thursday at a shallow depth of 10km, with the epicentre located 98km east-northeast of the city of Dali.In depth
Hundreds of thousands evacuated after quake
Xinhua put the magnitude at 6.0 on the Richter scale, and said it was centred in the province's Yaoan county.The earthquake was followed by eight aftershocks, Xinhua said.
Yunnan's civil affairs department was sending 4,500 tents, 3,000 quilts and other relief materials to Yaoan, Xinhua said.Hundreds of police were dispatched to the disaster zone, it said.Al Jazeera's Tony Cheng, reporting from Beijing, said the area, being quite remote and fairly mountainous, would make it hard to reach and difficult to get information from.He said that most of the destroyed homes would have belonged to ethnic Tibetans who live in the region.
Quake-prone area
Xinhua said medicine and food were also being distributed to people, many of whom had gathered outdoors for fear of more aftershocks.Yunnan is a quake-prone, mountainous region that lies on China's southern border with Thailand and Myanmar.It also borders Sichuan province, where a magnitude 7.9 earthquake a little more than a year ago left nearly 90,000 people dead or missing.About 375,000 people were injured in the May 12 quake, which left five million homeless and up to 1.5 million people displaced.The deadliest quake to strike China in over 30 years flattened entire cities and towns, and destroyed hospitals, homes, buildings and factories in nearly 50,000 villages.
Thousands of children were buried alive when some 7,000 schools collapsed in the quake.Southwest China sits on two tectonic plates - the Indian and Asian plates - whose constant collision created the Himalayan range and the Tibetan plateau.

Court convicts suspects in killing of French Jew
By ALFRED de MONTESQUIOU – JUL 10,09
PARIS (AP) — A Paris court on Friday convicted a gang leader of the brutal 2006 killing of a young man prosecutors said was targeted because he was Jewish.Youssouf Fofana, 28, was sentenced to life in prison. He was one of 27 people on trial in the kidnapping, torture and murder of Ilan Halimi, who was 23 years old.Halimi was found naked, handcuffed and covered with burn marks near railroad tracks in the Essonne region south of Paris on Feb. 13, 2006. He died on the way to the hospital after being held captive for more than three weeks. The horrific death revived worries in France about lingering anti-Semitism and led to deep anxiety in France's Jewish community, the largest in western Europe.As the verdict was announced, Fofana, who headed the self-styled gang of barbarians, mimicked applause. Fofana's sentence means he will have no possibility of parole for 22 years.His two main accomplices, Samir Ait Abdelmalek and Jean-Christophe Soumbou, were given sentences of 15 and 18 years, respectively. Another man who was a minor at the time also received a 15-year prison term, while Emma, a young girl used to attract Halimi, was sentenced to nine years in prison.
Two people, a man and a woman, were acquitted.
A lawyer for the Halimi family, Francis Szpiner, immediately called on France's justice minister to appeal the verdict because, he said, the sentences that went to the top lieutenant's of Fofana were too light and did not reflect the gravity of the crime.I regret the court was particularly indulgent toward those who assisted and aided Youssouf Fofana,Szpiner said after the verdict was pronounced.Overall, the sentences were slightly less than those sought by prosecutor Philippe Bilger.The verdicts came after three days of deliberation following a more than 2-month-long closed-door trial, by a juvenile court because some of the defendants were minors at the time of the crimes.The 22 others were convicted of a variety of crimes, including kidnapping by an organized group, sequestration that resulted in death, or failing to assist a person in danger. Those acting as jailers received 10 to 12 year terms.The trial opened on April 29 and was closed to the public, and the jury had been deliberating for three days in a secret location.Scores of police, some in full riot gear, took up posts around the Palais de Justice in central Paris.The case has attracted intense public scrutiny. While most of the trial took place behind closed doors because some of the accused were underage at the time of the crime, the courtroom was opened for the verdict.Halimi's mother, Ruth, has told French television that she believes the proceedings should have been open to the public.A month after the start of the trial, Fofana admitted to having stabbed and set fire to Halimi, pouring flammable liquid over him and setting it alight.Halimi's family lawyers say the young man was targeted because he was Jewish. Critics say French police initially ignored the possibility of anti-Semitic motives in the killing, which, as the case wore on, prompted fears of resurgent anti-Semitism in France.We hope for an exemplary, very dissuasive sentencing,said Sammy Ghozlan, who heads the National Bureau of Awareness against Anti-Semitism, a nongovernment group.Ghozlan argued that authorities should do more to prevent the spread of racism and anti-Semitism in impoverished French suburbs, where the hatred of Israel is triggering anti-Jewish action.
Tensions have erupted at various points during the trial.
One of Fofana's lawyer, Isabelle Coutant-Peyre, said at the time that her client was mistreated by a political and religious marketing campaign.Fofana fled to Ivory Coast after the killing. He was arrested there and extradited to France.According to the investigation, Fofana's Group of Barbarians had allegedly tried to kidnap other people before Halimi, including some of Jewish faith, with the intent of demanding ransom.Halimi's body was reburied in a cemetery in Jerusalem in 2007.Verena von Derschau in Paris contributed to this report.

Turkish leader calls Xinjiang killings genocide
Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:25pm EDT
ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said Friday genocide was being committed in China's northwest province of Xinjiang and called on Chinese authorities to intervene to prevent more deaths.The incidents in China are, simply put, a genocide. There's no point in interpreting this otherwise,Erdogan said.Rioting between Muslim Uighurs and Han Chinese in Xinjiang has killed 156 people and wounded more than 1,000 in the worst ethnic violence in China in decades. Both Uighurs and the Han have claimed a higher death toll from the strife.We're having trouble understanding how the Chinese government would remain a bystander to this,Erdogan told reporters in comments broadcast live on NTV television.We want the Chinese administration, with which our bilateral ties are continuously improving, to show sensitivity.Muslim Turkey shares linguistic and religious links with Uighurs, and Turkish nationalists see Xinjiang as the easternmost frontier of Turkic ethnicity. Thousands of Uighur immigrants live in Turkey.Turkey has sought to boost ties with China, the world's third-biggest economy. President Abdullah Gul last month became the first Turkish president to visit China in 15 years, signing $1.5 billion worth of trade deals, according to Turkish media.Turkey's Industry Minister Thursday called on Turks to boycott Chinese goods to protest the violence in Xinjiang, but a spokesman said this was the minister's personal view and not government policy.Thursday, Erdogan said Turkey would grant a visa to exiled Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer, who is based in the United States. Kadeer told Turkish television that Turkish authorities had twice denied her visa application to visit the country.(Writing by Ayla Jean Yackley)
U.S. military chief says clock ticking on Iran nuke
http://in.reuters.com/
The top U.S. military officer warned on Tuesday that time is running out for dialogue with Tehran to avoid either a nuclear-armed Iran or a possible military strike against the Islamic Republic.Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said it is critical for diplomatic efforts to reach a solution before Iran develops a nuclear weapon or faces an Israeli or U.S. strike to turn back its nuclear program.That window is a very narrow window, Mullen told an audience at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank.There's a great deal that certainly depends on the dialogue and the engagement,he said.I'm hopeful that that dialogue is productive. I worry about it a great deal if it's not.Mullen noted that some forecasters believe Iran could be as little as a year away from developing a nuclear bomb, adding: The clock has continued to tick.The Obama administration hopes to coax Tehran into negotiating over its nuclear program. Washington and its allies say the program is aimed at producing nuclear weapons, but Iran insists it is a civilian electricity program.Israel has said a nuclear-armed Iran would be a threat to its existence and points to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's calls for Israel to be wiped off the map.That has raised concerns that Israel could ultimately carry out a military strike against Iranian nuclear sites.U.S. President Barack Obama said in an interview the United States had absolutely not given Israel a green light to attack Iran over its nuclear program, but he said Washington cannot dictate to other countries what their security interests are.
It is the policy of the United States to try to resolve the issue of Iran's nuclear capabilities in a peaceful way through diplomatic channels, Obama told CNN during his trip to Russia.Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview with ABC's This Week program on Sunday that Israel had a sovereign right to act in its best interest in dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions. The comment was seen by some as giving Israel a green light to attack.Mullen told his audience that Washington must keep all options on the table as it pursues dialogue with Iran,including certainly military options.But he said a military strike -- like the development of an Iranian nuclear bomb itself -- would be very destabilizing for the Middle East and pose unpredictable consequences for U.S. allies and interests.It (a military strike) is a really important place to not go, if we can not go there in any way, shape or form,the admiral said.
Terrorists to descend on Jesus' birthplace
http://www.wnd.com/
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah organization has decided to hold in the West Bank city of Bethlehem its first congress in 20 years. Well-known terrorists and anti-Israel extremists are slated to descend upon the important Christian city, where, among other things, the Fatah party is set to vote on a clause that would affirm resistance against Israel, WND has learned. The event will mark Fatah's sixth General Congress. At the meeting, hundreds of voting Fatah members will discuss the future of their party and pass official resolutions outlining Fatah's major objectives. Abbas secured special permission from Israel to allow Fatah members to travel to Bethlehem from other West Bank towns and the Gaza Strip as well as from Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.According to a list obtained by WND, the Fatah delegates slated to attend the Bethlehem event include such notable jihad supporters as:Kamal Ranam, the chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terrorist group in Ramallah. Ranam is accused personally of carrying out recent shootings, attacks against Israeli forces operating in the Ramallah and a shooting attack in northern Samaria in December 2000 that killed the leader of the ultra-nationalist Kahane Chai organization, Benyamin Kahane. Ranam last year was granted amnesty by then-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as part of a gesture to bolster Abbas.Jamal Abu Al-Rub, a leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades from the Samarian village of Qabatya, just outside Jenin. Al-Rub is commonly known on the Palestinian street by his nickname, Hitler, for his routine public executions of Palestinians his group has suspected of collaborating with Israel. Al-Rub is accused by the Jewish state of planning several terror attacks.
Zacharia Zubeida, a former Al Aqsa Brigades terrorist leader from Jenin who was also pardoned by Olmert in 2007. Zubeida is accused of multiple terrorist attacks and for a time was one of Israel's most wanted terrorists.Abu Mahar Ranam, a Fatah central committee member who openly opposes peace talks with Israel.Sultan Abu al-Ainiin, Fatah's main representative in Lebanon. He is known for his excellent relations with the Hezbollah terrorist group.Qadura Fares, a PA minister and member of the Fatah Legislative Council, explained to WND in a phone interview yesterday the goals of the Fatah congress: We have to check our political ideology. Many things happened in last 20 years since our last congress. We must renew and evaluate our internal laws, the structure of our movement and our messages for Palestinian unity. Lastly, we must elect a new leadership for Fatah institutions.The new Congress also is set to vote on a resolution that would affirm the armed struggle and resistance against Israel as official Fatah doctrine, according to Fatah sources speaking to WND. The Congress was last held in 1989 in Tunisia, prior to any Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations. At the time, the Congress, led by late Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat, officially resolved continuing to intensify and escalate armed action and all forms of armed struggle to liquidate the Zionist occupation from our occupied Palestinian land and guarantee our people's rights to freedom and independence.Israel had hoped under Abbas and amid intense negotiations that the Sixth Congress would moderate the party's objectives.But senior Farah sources speaking to WND said a list of Fatah resolutions to be voted upon includes text affirming as one of Fatah's main objectives the resistance and armed struggle against the Jewish state. The sources said Abbas and other senior Fatah officials opposed the inclusion of resistance in any resolution to be called for a vote but said that the majority of Fatah members insisted it be incorporated.
The sources said it was very likely the resistance clause could be accepted during the congressional meeting by the majority of general Fatah voters, who tend to publicly express more radical views than Abbas.Fatah's Fares told WND that Bethlehem was selected because of the city's hotel space and because it boasts a meeting hall large enough to accommodate the Fatah congress.The choice of Bethlehem, however, may be less than settling to the town's dwindling Christian population which at times has accuses Fatah of intimidation and persecution. Bethlehem is the site of the Church of the Nativity, which is built over a cave that is the believed birthplace of Jesus.
Bethlehem's Christian leaders, most of whom spoke on condition of anonymity, said they face an atmosphere of regular hostility and intimidation by Muslims. They said Palestinian armed groups stir tension by holding militant demonstrations and marches in the streets. They spokes of instances in which Christian shopkeepers' stores were recently ransacked and Christian homes attacked.In April, WND reported a Molotov cocktail and gunshots targeted the car of Bethlehem's Christian mayor as local leaders there quietly fingered Islamists for attempting to intimidate Christians in response to Passover festivities.Christian leaders said one of the most significant problems facing Christians in Bethlehem is the rampant confiscation of land by Muslim gangs.There are many cases where Christians have their land stolen by the [Muslim] mafia,Samir Qumsiyeh, a Bethlehem Christian leader and owner of the Beit Sahour-based private Al-Mahd (Nativity) TV station, told WND. It is a regular phenomenon in Bethlehem,Qumsiyeh said.They go to a poor Christian person with a forged power of attorney document, then they say we have papers proving you're living on our land. If you confront them, many times the Christian is beaten. You can't do anything about it. The Christian loses and he runs away.One Christian Bethlehem resident told WND her friend fled Bethlehem after being accused by Muslims of selling property to Jews, a crime punishable by death in some Palestinian cities. A February 2007 Jerusalem Post article cited the case of Faud and Georgette Lama, Christian residents of Bethlehem who said their land was stolen by local Muslims and when they tried to do something about it, Faud was beaten by gunmen. Bethlehem Christian leaders noted they cannot complain to local authorities since the city's security forces are controlled by the PA.What authorities? asked one Christian leader, rhetorically. You mean the security forces controlled by the Palestinian government, which is allowing this to happen? Qumsiyeh commented,The gangs hide behind the security forces, and one cannot petition the court system. That takes years and many times a verdict isn't even reached.Qumsiyeh himself has been targeted by local militias. Earlier this year, after speaking out publicly against anti-Christian violence, Qumsiyeh says his house was attacked with Molotov cocktails. It was an absolute miracle I wasn't killed,he said.Also my wife was outside at the time. My home has a big gas line that could have exploded.Aiman Abu Eita, Fatah's representative in Bethlehem claimed to WND that Christians were making up stories about persecution: Most of those Christians who left Bethlehem gave the impression of persecution just as an excuse to justify why they left Bethlehem,he said during an in-person interview.Eita claimed a security wall that Israel constructed in 2002, which he said circles the city,strangled Bethlehem's economy and prompted the mass fleeing of Christians.
But Israel did not build a wall that encircles Bethlehem. It built a fence only where the Bethlehem area interfaces with Jerusalem. A tiny segment of the barrier facing a major Israeli roadway is a concrete wall, which Israel says is meant to prevent gunmen from shooting at Israeli motorists. The barrier was built after repeated terror attacks launched from Bethlehem.The vast majority of Bethlehem's Christian emigration occurred between 1995 and 2001, before Israel's barrier was constructed.
Bethlehem's population was more than 80 percent Christian when Israel was founded in 1948, but the Christians have declined to about 23 percent with a large majority of Muslims. The 23 percent Christian statistic is considered generous, since it includes the satellite towns of Beit Sahour and Beit Jala. Some estimates place Bethlehem's actual Christian population as low as 12 percent, with hundreds of Christians emigrating per year.Israel controlled Bethlehem until 1995, when it signed the territory over to the PA as part of the 1993 Oslo Accords. Reports of Christian intimidation by Muslims immediately began to surface after the PA gained control. Arafat also converted a Greek Orthodox monastery next to the Church of Nativity into his official Bethlehem residence.Qumsiyeh told WND if current trends continue, there may be no Christians left in Bethlehem in 15 years. He said he appealed to U.S. Christian leaders to help initiate housing projects and find ways to fortify and strengthen Bethlehem's Christian population, but that little assistance was offered. The way things are, soon there will not be a single Christian living in the land of Jesus,he said.
Seven Christians beheaded in Somalia by Islamic hardliners
http://www.aawsat.com/
Somalia's hardline Islamist rebels beheaded seven people on Friday for being Christians and spies in the latest imposition of strict sharia, Islamic law, by the Al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab group, witnesses said.Al Shabaab, which controls large tracts of south Somalia and parts of the capital Mogadishu, has carried out such executions before, but the beheadings on Friday were believed to be the largest number of killings at one time, Somalis say.Al Shabaab told us that they were beheaded for reasons they described as being Christian followers and spies, said one relative, who gave his name only as Aden, after the killings in the south-central town of Baidoa.The group, which western security services say is a proxy for Al Qaeda in Somalia, beheaded three people in the same region last month.Al Shabaab, which means Youth in Arabic, has vowed to rule the majority Muslim nation by a hardline interpretation of Islamic law. The group has dug up Sufi graves, forced women to wear veils, closed down movie halls and cut off limbs for theft.My husband was missing up to 20 days. Al Shabaab confirmed to us that he and six others were beheaded. We are waiting for his dead body,said Maryan, the wife of one of the victims.Somalia's government has been unable to beat back al Shabaab militants who are making guerrilla-style attacks on Somali troops and an African Union (AU) force there.The government says the insurgency is being led by foreign fighters in al Shabaab's ranks. The United Nations and the AU say hundreds of jihadists have flocked to Somalia to battle the government led by ex-rebel leader Sheikh Sharif Ahmed.The current war is a foreign war led and supported by outside forces. The money and ideologies are foreign-based.
Somalis all support the government,Somali Foreign Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Omaar told reporters in the Ethiopian capital.This is not a war between Somali clans. It is a war against foreign forces who come into the country to overthrow the government that has been elected constitutionally by the Somali people and supported by the international community.On Thursday, the U.N. Security Council warned Eritrea that it would consider action against anyone undermining peace prospects in Somalia, which has been devastated by civil conflict since 1991.Asmara has repeatedly denied claims that the Red Sea state was providing support to insurgents battling the western-backed government, also supported by Eritrea's arch-enemy Ethiopia.The AU, which has 4,300 peacekeepers in the Somali capital, has called for sanctions against Asmara.
Ethiopian tanks and troops crushed an Islamist movement in Somalia in late 2006, but since then a revived insurgency has killed 18,000 civilians and displaced hundreds of thousands.U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay accused al Shabaab on Friday of extrajudicial killings, setting off bombs in residential areas and using civilians as human shields in their fight against Ahmed's administration.The insurgents say they are nationalists seeking to rid Somalia of a western-imposed government which has no popular support.

Arab group says restoring the Islamic Caliphate is the answer not Hamas or Fatah http://www.israelnationalnews.com/
The Hizb ut Tahrir Islamic fundamentalist movement has become active among Palestinian Authority Arabs in Judea and Samaria, pushing a message that only restoring the Islamic caliphate and the rule of Islamic law, not Fatah or Hamas, holds the answer for the region. According to National Public Radio (NPR), the group is arranging rallies and drumming up support while dodging security forces loyal to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who see the group as a threat. The coming of the caliphate threatens the Palestinian Authority regime and threatens the American interests in the area,said Hizb ut Tahrir supporter Osama al-Ansari from Hebron, They are harassing us because a caliphate will not provide for the existence of the Palestinian Authority.Besides not recognizing the authority of the PA or Hamas, the group also does not accept democracy or the concept of the modern nation-state. While the group officially rejects violence, various counterterrorism agencies have argued that radical ideology such as that of Hizb ut Tahrir can be linked to terrorist attacks.While more tolerated in Western countries, the group has been banned by several Mideast regimes.
The PA originally ignored the growth of Hizb ut Tahrir, hoping it would help divide the religious PA Arabs who were flocking to Hamas, senior editor at Al-Ayyam newspaper in Ramallah Khalil Shaheen told NPR. Now, he said, they are suffering from the consequences.It seems that everything is going out of control for the Palestinian Authority,Shaheen said.The Tahrir party is getting more popular in the West Bank and is trying to fill the vacuum that took place after the weakness of Fatah itself.

Report: NKorean army suspected over cyberattacks By HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press Writer – Sat Jul 11, 9:03 am ET
SEOUL, South Korea – A North Korean army lab of hackers was ordered to destroy South Korean communications networks — evidence the isolated regime was behind cyberattacks that paralyzed South Korean and American Web sites — news reports said Saturday, citing an intelligence briefing.Members of the parliamentary intelligence committee have said in recent days that the National Intelligence Service has also pointed to a North Korean boast last month that it was fully ready for any form of high-tech war.
The spy agency told lawmakers Friday that a research institute affiliated with the North's Ministry of People's Armed Forces received an order to destroy the South Korean puppet communications networks in an instant,the mass-circulation JoongAng Ilbo newspaper reported.The paper, citing unidentified members of parliament's intelligence committee, said the institute, known as Lab 110, specializes in hacking and spreading malicious programs.The Ministry of People's Armed Forces is the secretive nation's defense ministry.The NIS — South Korea's main spy agency — said it couldn't confirm the report. Calls to several key intelligence committee members went unanswered Saturday.The agency, however, issued a statement late Saturday saying it has various evidence of North Korean involvement, though has yet to reach a conclusion.South Korea's Yonhap news agency carried a similar report, saying the NIS obtained a North Korean document issuing the June 7 order. The report, quoting an unidentified senior ruling party official, said the North Korean institute is affiliated with the North Korean People's Army.The state-run Korea Communications Commission said Friday that it had identified and blocked five Internet Protocol, or IP, addresses in five countries used to distribute computer viruses that caused the wave of Web site outages, which began in the U.S. on July 4.The addresses point to the computers that distributed the virus that triggered so-called denial of service attacks in which floods of computers try to connect to a single site at the same time, overwhelming the server.
They were in Austria, Georgia, Germany, South Korea and the U.S., a commission official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media on the record.Speculation over who was responsible for the attacks that targeted high-profile Web sites, including those of the White House and South Korea's presidential Blue House, has centered on North Korea.And though such finger-pointing has been trickling out since the attacks began, the identity of the IP addresses themselves provides little in the way of clarity.That's because it is likely the hackers, whoever they are, used the addresses to disguise themselves — for instance, by accessing the computers from a remote location. IP addresses can also be faked or masked, hiding their true location.South Korean media reported in May that North Korea was running an Internet warfare unit that tries to hack into American and South Korean military networks to gather confidential information and disrupt service. The Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported Friday that the North has between 500-1,000 hacking specialists.The fact that some of the attacked sites — such as the ruling party and the office of President Lee Myung-bak — have links to the South Korean government's hard-line policies toward the North was cited as further reason why Pyongyang might attack them.The North has drawn repeated international rebuke in recent months for threats and actions seen as provocative by the international community. Those include a nuclear test in May and short-range ballistic missile launches on July 4.North Korea has not responded to the allegations of its involvement in the Web site outages.The assaults appear to be on the wane. No new similar cyberattacks have been reported in South Korea since Friday evening, according to the state-run Korea Information Security Agency.

G8 leaders presented with gold coin symbolising future world currency
Source: BI-ME , Author: BI-ME staff Posted: Fri July 10, 2009 2:06 pm
INTERNATIONAL. World leaders attending the G8 summit in Italy have been presented with a gift from the past and one for the future.Handmade books portraying works by Neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova, as well as gold coins representing an imaginary future world currency were given to the participants at the opening of the three-day summit.The coins, made by Belgian Luc Luycx, who designed one side of the Euro coins, are called eurodollars,in a symbolic call for a common currency to unite Europe and the United States.They have a value of €2,800 (US$3,900) and were produced by the United Future World Currency, a group pushing the idea of a global currency.
JULY 10, 2009, 6:01 A.M. ET UPDATE:G8:Merkel:China Forex Idea Not Yet Practically Relevant
L'AQUILA, Italy (Dow Jones)--German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Friday that China's proposal on setting up a global reserve currency has not been an official topic at the summit here and any artificial global currency is not a relevant concept any time soon. I cannot remember that the issue has been addressed here in the official parts (of the meeting),Merkel said, when asked whether China has addressed the issue of the dominant world currency.I believe that what China has been proposed, namely some kind of artificial currency, is not yet of practical relevance in the near future. But it is obviously clear that there is a euro area which is also unfolding it's effects, this means we have still a very, very strong dollar area but it is being complemented by other currency areas.China recently renewed its call for a diversification of international reserve currencies and creating a super sovereign reserve currency, possibly based on the International Monetary Fund's Special Drawing Rights, or SDR.
Still, Merkel stressed that the brunt of the current crisis must not be carried disproportionally by some currency areas. It is important, and this has been addressed, that currencies aren't working against each others but that we will try to get into a fair currency arrangement to prevent the impact of the crisis to be rolled off one-sidedly to the disadvantage of certain regions,she said. Speaking to reporters in her final press conference at the Group of Eight summit, Merkel also said that strategies to reduce ballooning government debt levels caused by the financial crisis will be an issue only once the worst of the slump is over and it will then be important for markets to see a coordinated approach on the issue. In my opinion, and this is to a large extent shared by the industrialized nations, the reaching of the trough is not the time when we should begin with exit strategies but the point in time must be chosen in such a fashion that we will have made quite some progress when climbing out of the trough,Merkel said. She said that she expects the next Group of 20 summit in Pittsburgh in September to discuss the issue in this way.
For the markets, however, it is important to have reliable knowledge that a coordinated strategy exists which will of course be geared toward the economic situation in the individual countries but which must follow the same criteria, Merkel said.The lesson from the world economic crisis in the 1930s has been that the exit strategies have been implemented too abruptly and therefore helped cause new problems.We want to prevent this,Merkel said.This means we must opt for a slowly, target-orientated change in course and no abrupt change in policy from one day to the next.Leaders from the Group of Eight rich countries - U.K., Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the U.S. - are meeting here with emerging economies, including China, and African nations.The three-day summit ends Friday.-By Andrea Thomas, Dow Jones Newswires; +49-170-2215013; andrea.thomas@dowjones.com
India Joins Russia, China in Questioning U.S. Dollar Dominance
http://www.bloomberg.com/
Suresh Tendulkar, an economic adviser to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, said he is urging the government to diversify its $264.6 billion foreign-exchange reserves and hold fewer dollars. The major part of Indian reserves is in dollars -- that is something that’s a problem for us,Tendulkar, chairman of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, said in an interview yesterday in Aix-en-Provence, France, where he was attending an economic conference. Singh is preparing to join leaders from the Group of Eight industrialized nations -- the U.S., Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy, Canada and Russia -- at a summit in Italy next week which is due to tackle the global economy. China and Brazil will also send representatives to the summit.As the talks have neared, China and Russia have stepped up calls for a rethink of how global currency reserves are composed and managed, underlining a power shift to emerging markets from the developed nations that spawned the financial crisis.
There should be a system to maintain the stability of the major reserve currencies, Former Chinese Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan said in a speech in Beijing yesterday, highlighting China’s concerns about a global financial system dominated by the dollar.Fiscal and current-account deficits must be supervised as your currency is likely to become my problem, said Zeng, who is now the head of a research center under the government’s top economic planning agency. The People’s Bank of China said June 26 that the International Monetary Fund should manage more of members’ reserves.
Russian Proposals
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has repeatedly called for creating a mix of regional reserve currencies as part of the drive to address the global financial crisis, while questioning the dollar’s future as a global reserve currency. Russia’s proposals for the Group of 20 major developed and developing nations summit in London in April included the creation of a supranational currency. We will resume talks on the supranational currency proposal at the G-8 summit in L’Aquila on July 8-10, Medvedev aide Sergei Prikhodko told reporters in Moscow yesterday. Singh adviser Tendulkar said that big dollar holders face a prisoner’s dilemma in terms of managing their holdings.That’s why I’m telling them to do this,he said. He also said that world currencies need to adjust to help unwind trade imbalances that have contributed to the global financial crisis.The major imbalances which led to the current situation, the current account surpluses and deficits, have to be addressed,he said. Currency adjustment is one thing that suggests itself.
Emerging-Market Dependence
For all the complaints about the dollar, emerging markets such as India remain dependent on the currency of the U.S., the world’s largest economy and a $2.5 trillion export market. The IMF said June 30 that the share of dollars in global foreign- exchange reserves increased to 65 percent in the first three months of this year, the highest since 2007. Tendulkar said that the matter needs to be taken up in international talks, and that it emphasizes the need for those talks to go beyond the traditional G-8.They can meet if they want to,he said.The G-20 has a wider role, has representation of the countries that are likely to lead the recovery process.

His record on civil rights in Britain is simply horrific and he will take his Orwellian blueprint to Brussels on Rothschild-headed paper. If people think the European Union is already a fascist dictatorship masquerading as a democracy, which it is, wait till this guy starts. There is something else that follows Blair wherever he goes – war. He has never seen a war he didn’t want to join, so long as other people do the fighting and not him. Blair says whatever suits him and his masters at the time that he says it. It was Blair who said in 1997: Mine is the first generation able to contemplate the possibility that we may live our entire lives without going to war or sending our children to war.A few years later, one commentator said of this man of peace:Since Tony Blair took office a decade ago, he has committed British forces to action more often, and in more conflicts, than any Prime Minister since 1945.. Not only has this crusade embroiled them in what one officer called the most intense fighting since the Korean War, more than half a century ago, it is stretching their depleted resources to the limit.Blair went to war in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and Iraq and should he become EU President he will take Europe to war for his masters, the Rothschilds. They want a Third World War involving Europe, North America, Russia and China to bring in their world government dictatorship.Two of a kind from the Rothschild clone factory.

PRESS INTRUSION

07/10/2009 EU control over City
Bill Cash in The Times writes: Sir, In your leading article (A missed opportunity, July 9), regarding the Government’s White Paper on the reform of financial markets, you rightly criticise the Government on a failure of leadership. You give three reasons. There is also a fourth, which is that the whole framework for financial regulation is being driven by the overarching jurisdiction of the European Union that will hand over the ultimate decisions to majority voting and the lethal use of co-decision and, finally, the European Court of Justice. This will undermine the City of London in favour of other European financial centres. Furthermore, all this will do nothing to help the global marketplace, given the failures of European laws and regulations such as the Stability and Growth Pact and the economic implosion of the eurozone with massive unemployment and market distortions. Alistair Darling replied to me and several other Members of Parliament on his statement, supinely conceding that we are governed by European directives, whether we like it or not. National supervision is a euphemism. In fact, there will be European control and jurisdiction and the City of London will be the loser, as will the UK economy as a whole.

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Wednesday, 8 July 2009 POPE ENDORSES WORLD POLITICAL AUTHORITY
By Cliff Kincaid July 9, 2009 NewsWithViews.com
Some in the media are calling it just a statement about economic justice. But Pope Benedict XVI’s Charity in Truth statement, also known as an encyclical, is a radical document that puts the Roman Catholic Church firmly on the side of an emerging world government.In explicit and direct language, the Pope calls for a true world political authority to manage the affairs of the world. At the same time, however, the Pope also warns that such an international order could produce a dangerous universal power of a tyrannical nature and must be guarded against somehow.The New York Times got it right this time, noting the Pope’s call for a world political authority amounted to endorsement of a New World Economic Order, a long-time goal of the old Soviet-sponsored international communist movement. Bloomberg.com highlighted the Pope’s call for a new world order with teeth.The Pope’s shocking endorsement of a World Political Authority, which has prophetic implications for some Christians who fear that a global dictatorship will take power in the last days of man’s reign on earth, comes shortly after the United Nations Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis issued a call for global taxes and more powerful global institutions. U.N. General Assembly President, Miguel D’Escoto, a Communist Catholic Priest, gave a speechat the event calling on the nations of the world to revere Mother Earth but concluded with words from the Popeblessing the conference participants.The controversial Papal statement comes just before a meeting of the G-8 nations and a scheduled meeting between the Pope and President Obama at the Vatican on July 10.
Sounding like Obama himself, Pope Benedict says this new international order can be accomplished through reform of the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth.The teeth may come in adopting the global environmental agenda, which the Pope warmly embraces.Sounding like Al Gore, the Pope said that one pressing need is a worldwide redistribution of energy resources, so that countries lacking those resources can have access to them. He adds that This responsibility is a global one, for it is concerned not just with energy but with the whole of creation, which must not be bequeathed to future generations depleted of its resources.The Church has a responsibility towards creation and she must assert this responsibility in the public sphere,he explains.In a statement that sounds like an endorsement of a new global warming treaty, which will be negotiated at a U.N. conference in December, the Pope says,The international community has an urgent duty to find institutional means of regulating the exploitation of non-renewable resources, involving poor countries in the process, in order to plan together for the future.The technologically advanced societies can and must lower their domestic energy consumption, either through an evolution in manufacturing methods or through greater ecological sensitivity among their citizens.he declares.
In terms of how this new world political authority should look, the Pope says that it, too, should have teeth in the form of “the authority to ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties, and also with the coordinated measures adopted in various international forums.Pope Benedict declares that such an authority would need to be universally recognized and to be vested with the effective power to ensure security for all, regard for justice, and respect for rights.But the document, which is more than 30,000 words long, is contradictory in that it pretends that a world government can co-exist with freedom and democracy. For example, the statement calls for a greater degree of international ordering, marked by subsidiarity, for the management of globalization. The term subsidiarity is usually defined as having matters handled by local authorities, not international bureaucrats.In another example of double-speak, the Pope declares that Globalization certainly requires authority, insofar as it poses the problem of a global common good that needs to be pursued. This authority, however, must be organized in a subsidiary and stratified way, if it is not to infringe upon freedom and if it is to yield effective results in practice.He doesn’t explain how it will be possible for citizens to influence or control this world political authority when they are under its bureaucratic control.
In the statement about how the New World Order could turn into a tyranny, the Pope is also contradictory, declaring that...the principle of subsidiarity is particularly well-suited to managing globalization and directing it towards authentic human development. In order not to produce a dangerous universal power of a tyrannical nature, the governance of globalization must be marked by subsidiarity, articulated into several layers and involving different levels that can work together.Against, he doesn’t explain how people on the local or even national levels will be able to resist this tyranny.In a strong endorsement of foreign aid, the Pope says that In the search for solutions to the current economic crisis, development aid for poor countries must be considered a valid means of creating wealth for all.But there must be more. He says that...more economically developed nations should do all they can to allocate larger portions of their gross domestic product to development aid, thus respecting the obligations that the international community has undertaken in this regard.This statement seems to be an urgent call for fulfilment of the U.N.’s Millennium Development Goals, which involve an estimated $845 billion from the U.S. over a ten-year period.The Pope goes on to say that the social order should conform to the moral order, but the fact is that on moral issues such as abortion and homosexuality, the agenda of the United Nations is opposed to that of the Catholic Church. Even on capital punishment, there is disagreement. The U.N. opposes it while traditional church teaching (Section 2267 of the Catholic Catechism) allows it in certain cases.In his statement, the Pope declares that Some non-governmental Organizations work actively to spread abortion, at times promoting the practice of sterilization in poor countries, in some cases not even informing the women concerned. Moreover, there is reason to suspect that development aid is sometimes linked to specific health-care policies which de facto involve the imposition of strong birth control measures. Further grounds for concern are laws permitting euthanasia as well as pressure from lobby groups, nationally and internationally, in favour of its juridical recognition.What he doesn’t mention is that some of these groups operate through and with the support of the United Nations.Web Site: www.AIM.org E-Mail: cliff.kincaid@aim.org
Gore: U.S. Climate Bill Will Help Bring About Global Governance
Climate Depot Saturday, July 11, 2009
Former Vice President Al Gore declared that the Congressional climate bill will help bring about global governance.I bring you good news from the U.S., Gore said on July 7, 2009 in Oxford at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment, sponsored by UK Times.Just two weeks ago, the House of Representatives passed the Waxman-Markey climate bill,Gore said, noting it was very much a step in the right direction. President Obama has pushed for the passage of the bill in the Senate and attended a G8 summit this week where he agreed to attempt to keep the Earth’s temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees C.Gore touted the Congressional climate bill, claiming it will dramatically increase the prospects for success in combating what he sees as the crisis of man-made global warming.But it is the awareness itself that will drive the change and one of the ways it will drive the change is through global governance and global agreements.(Editor’s Note: Gore makes the global governance comment at the 1min. 10 sec. mark in this UK Times video.)Gore’s call for global governance echoes former French President Jacques Chirac’s call in 2000.
On November 20, 2000, then French President Chirac said during a speech at The Hague that the UN’s Kyoto Protocol represented the first component of an authentic global governance.For the first time, humanity is instituting a genuine instrument of global governance,Chirac explained. From the very earliest age, we should make environmental awareness a major theme of education and a major theme of political debate, until respect for the environment comes to be as fundamental as safeguarding our rights and freedoms. By acting together, by building this unprecedented instrument, the first component of an authentic global governance, we are working for dialogue and peace, Chirac added.Former EU Environment Minister Margot Wallstrom said, Kyoto is about the economy, about leveling the playing field for big businesses worldwide.Canadian Prime Minster Stephen Harper once dismissed UN’s Kyoto Protocol as a socialist scheme.
Global Carbon Tax Urged at UN Meeting
In addition, calls for a global carbon tax have been urged at recent UN global warming conferences. In December 2007, the UN climate conference in Bali, urged the adoption of a global carbon tax that would represent a global burden sharing system, fair, with solidarity, and legally binding to all nations.Finally someone will pay for these [climate related] costs, Othmar Schwank, a global tax advocate, said at the 2007 UN conference after a panel titled A Global CO2 Tax.Schwank noted that wealthy nations like the U.S. would bear the biggest burden based on the polluters pay principle.The U.S. and other wealthy nations need to contribute significantly more to this global fund,Schwank explained. He also added, It is very essential to tax coal.
The 2007 UN conference was presented with a report from the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment titled Global Solidarity in Financing Adaptation. The report stated there was an urgent need for a global tax in order for damages [from climate change] to be kept from growing to truly catastrophic levels, especially in vulnerable countries of the developing world.The tens of billions of dollars per year generated by a global tax would flow into a global Multilateral Adaptation Fund to help nations cope with global warming, according to the report.Schwank said a global carbon dioxide tax is an idea long overdue that is urgently needed to establish a funding scheme which generates the resources required to address the dimension of challenge with regard to climate change costs.
Redistribution of wealth
The environmental group Friends of the Earth advocated the transfer of money from rich to poor nations during the 2007 UN climate conference.A climate change response must have at its heart a redistribution of wealth and resources,said Emma Brindal, a climate justice campaigner coordinator for Friends of the Earth.[Editor's Note: Many critics have often charged that proposed climate tax and regulatory solutions were more important to the promoters of man-made climate fears than the accuracy of their science. Former Colorado Senator Tim Wirth reportedly said, We've got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing — in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.]
John Holdren, Obama’s Science Czar: Forced Abortions and Mass Sterilization Needed to Save the Planet Zombie Time Blog Saturday, July 11, 2009
Forced abortions. Mass sterilization. A Planetary Regime with the power of life and death over American citizens.The tyrannical fantasies of a madman? Or merely the opinions of the person now in control of science policy in the United States? Or both?
These ideas (among many other equally horrifying recommendations) were put forth by John Holdren, whom Barack Obama has recently appointed Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology — informally known as the United States’ Science Czar. In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977, the man now firmly in control of science policy in this country wrote that:Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food;Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;People who contribute to social deterioration (i.e. undesirables) can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.A transnational Planetary Regime should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans’ lives — using an armed international police force.
Impossible, you say? That must be an exaggeration or a hoax. No one in their right mind would say such things.Well, I hate to break the news to you, but it is no hoax, no exaggeration. John Holdren really did say those things, and this report contains the proof. Below you will find photographs, scans, and transcriptions of pages in the book Ecoscience, co-authored in 1977 by John Holdren and his close colleagues Paul Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich. The scans and photos are provided to supply conclusive evidence that the words attributed to Holdren are unaltered and accurately transcribed.This report was originally inspired by this article in FrontPage magazine, which covers some of the same information given here. But that article, although it contained many shocking quotes from John Holdren, failed to make much of an impact on public opinion. Why not? Because, as I discovered when discussing the article with various friends, there was no proof that the quotes were accurate — so most folks (even those opposed to Obama’s policies) doubted their veracity, because the statements seemed too inflammatory to be true. In the modern era, it seems, journalists have lost all credibility, and so are presumed to be lying or exaggerating unless solid evidence is offered to back up the claims. Well, this report contains that evidence.Of course, Holdren wrote these things in the framework of a book he co-authored about what he imagined at the time (late 1970s) was an apocalyptic crisis facing mankind: overpopulation. He felt extreme measures would be required to combat an extreme problem. Whether or not you think this provides him a valid excuse for having descended into a totalitarian fantasy is up to you: personally, I don’t think it’s a valid excuse at all, since the crisis he was in a panic over was mostly in his imagination. Totalitarian regimes and unhinged people almost always have what seems internally like a reasonable justification for actions which to the outside world seem incomprehensible.

Swine Flu Kills People Whose Bodies Are Highly Stressed
George Washington Blog Saturday, July 11, 2009
The World Health Organization states:The majority of those who died were pregnant, had asthma, diabetes or other chronic diseases…Moreover, extremely obese people are susceptible. As Bloomberg writes:Scientists don’t yet know whether extremely overweight people get sicker because of associated conditions like heart disease and asthma, or whether the excess fat itself makes them more vulnerable.The common thread in all of these conditions appears to me to be that swine flu killed people whose bodies were stressed - either by illness, extreme obesity or pregnancy. Pregnancy is a wonderful thing, but it is stressful to the mother’s body.Handwashing, good nutrition, higher doses of Vitamin D, exercise, adequate sleep and stress relief techniques – if you don’t know any others, just breathe slowly and deeply for several minutes – can only help. Some also claim that certain probiotics can help prevent the flu (see also this).This is not to say that proper medical precautions should not be taken or that medical treatment should not be sought. They should . . . but only to the extent that they cause more good than harm. For example, some vaccines are life savers, while others cause more deaths than they prevent (and see this).Update: I spoke with a very smart doctor, who generally agreed with my analysis. However, she explained that a woman’s immune system is depressed during pregnancy (so that the mother’s immune system won’t reject the baby) and that seriously obese people tend to also have health problems, such as asthma or diabetes.

China Quake Kills 1, Hurts 325; 18,000 Homes Toppled (Update2)
By Bloomberg News
July 10 (Bloomberg) -- An earthquake in China’s southwestern Yunnan province left one person dead and 325 injured, the provincial government said. More than 400,000 residents need to be relocated or evacuated after the magnitude-6.0 quake struck at 7:19 p.m. local time yesterday in Guantun Township, about 200 kilometers (124 miles) from the provincial city of Kunming, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. Eight aftershocks rattled the region as relief officials distributed tents, medicine and food to people whose homes were destroyed, Xinhua said. The Chinese People’s Liberation Army has sent more than 1,000 troops into the area to search for residents who might be buried under the rubble. A magnitude-5.0 quake struck the province at 5:02 p.m. today, 85 kilometers east of Dali, at a depth of 10 kilometers, the U.S. Geological Survey said. A magnitude-4.1 aftershock rocked the area last night, Xinhua said. About 18,000 houses were toppled and 75,000 buildings damaged across the province as of 8:30 a.m. today, the news service said.
Relief on Route
Officials in Yunnan plan to send 4,500 tents, 3,000 quilts and other relief items to the quake zone, Xinhua said. Teams from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the National Commission for Disaster Reduction and the China Earthquake Administration are heading to the epicenter. Sichuan province in central China is still recovering from last year’s 7.9-magnitude earthquake that killed almost 70,000 people, flattened 4.5 million homes and left millions homeless. It was the country’s deadliest natural disaster in almost three decades. About 3 percent of the 216,000 buildings that collapsed in the first two days after the Sichuan quake were schools, prompting parents to question whether shoddy construction added to the death toll. The government announced two months ago, shortly before the May 12 anniversary of the disaster, that 5,335 children were killed in the quake. The U.S. Geological Survey put the magnitude of yesterday’s main quake at 5.7 with a depth of 10 kilometers. The earthquake had no impact on mining or smelting operations at Yunnan Tin Co., Li Xia, an investor relations official, said by phone today. Yunnan Tin is the world’s biggest producer of the metal. Yunnan Aluminium Co. was also unaffected, Wang Jishi, an official at the company, said by phone.

Tens of thousands of people are camping in tents in southwestern China, days after a moderate earthquake destroyed thousands of homes, Chinese state media reports.One person was killed and 324 others were injured when the quake hit China's Yunnan province on Thursday.But officials scaled down their estimates on Saturday of how many people were affected by the quake.Initial reports said the quake displaced 400,000 people, but provincial authorities now say 250,000 people were left without homes, the Xinhua state news agency reported.The miscalculation was due in part to the chaos in the aftermath of the quake,Xinhua cited Cao Jianfang, a deputy provincial governor, as saying.
Magnitude discrepancy
The US Geological Survey said the earthquake was of a moderate 5.7 magnitude, and that it struck at 7:19pm local time (1119 GMT) on Thursday at a shallow depth of 10km, with the epicentre located 98km east-northeast of the city of Dali.In depth
Hundreds of thousands evacuated after quake
Xinhua put the magnitude at 6.0 on the Richter scale, and said it was centred in the province's Yaoan county.The earthquake was followed by eight aftershocks, Xinhua said.
Yunnan's civil affairs department was sending 4,500 tents, 3,000 quilts and other relief materials to Yaoan, Xinhua said.Hundreds of police were dispatched to the disaster zone, it said.Al Jazeera's Tony Cheng, reporting from Beijing, said the area, being quite remote and fairly mountainous, would make it hard to reach and difficult to get information from.He said that most of the destroyed homes would have belonged to ethnic Tibetans who live in the region.
Quake-prone area
Xinhua said medicine and food were also being distributed to people, many of whom had gathered outdoors for fear of more aftershocks.Yunnan is a quake-prone, mountainous region that lies on China's southern border with Thailand and Myanmar.It also borders Sichuan province, where a magnitude 7.9 earthquake a little more than a year ago left nearly 90,000 people dead or missing.About 375,000 people were injured in the May 12 quake, which left five million homeless and up to 1.5 million people displaced.The deadliest quake to strike China in over 30 years flattened entire cities and towns, and destroyed hospitals, homes, buildings and factories in nearly 50,000 villages.
Thousands of children were buried alive when some 7,000 schools collapsed in the quake.Southwest China sits on two tectonic plates - the Indian and Asian plates - whose constant collision created the Himalayan range and the Tibetan plateau.

Court convicts suspects in killing of French Jew
By ALFRED de MONTESQUIOU – JUL 10,09
PARIS (AP) — A Paris court on Friday convicted a gang leader of the brutal 2006 killing of a young man prosecutors said was targeted because he was Jewish.Youssouf Fofana, 28, was sentenced to life in prison. He was one of 27 people on trial in the kidnapping, torture and murder of Ilan Halimi, who was 23 years old.Halimi was found naked, handcuffed and covered with burn marks near railroad tracks in the Essonne region south of Paris on Feb. 13, 2006. He died on the way to the hospital after being held captive for more than three weeks. The horrific death revived worries in France about lingering anti-Semitism and led to deep anxiety in France's Jewish community, the largest in western Europe.As the verdict was announced, Fofana, who headed the self-styled gang of barbarians, mimicked applause. Fofana's sentence means he will have no possibility of parole for 22 years.His two main accomplices, Samir Ait Abdelmalek and Jean-Christophe Soumbou, were given sentences of 15 and 18 years, respectively. Another man who was a minor at the time also received a 15-year prison term, while Emma, a young girl used to attract Halimi, was sentenced to nine years in prison.
Two people, a man and a woman, were acquitted.
A lawyer for the Halimi family, Francis Szpiner, immediately called on France's justice minister to appeal the verdict because, he said, the sentences that went to the top lieutenant's of Fofana were too light and did not reflect the gravity of the crime.I regret the court was particularly indulgent toward those who assisted and aided Youssouf Fofana,Szpiner said after the verdict was pronounced.Overall, the sentences were slightly less than those sought by prosecutor Philippe Bilger.The verdicts came after three days of deliberation following a more than 2-month-long closed-door trial, by a juvenile court because some of the defendants were minors at the time of the crimes.The 22 others were convicted of a variety of crimes, including kidnapping by an organized group, sequestration that resulted in death, or failing to assist a person in danger. Those acting as jailers received 10 to 12 year terms.The trial opened on April 29 and was closed to the public, and the jury had been deliberating for three days in a secret location.Scores of police, some in full riot gear, took up posts around the Palais de Justice in central Paris.The case has attracted intense public scrutiny. While most of the trial took place behind closed doors because some of the accused were underage at the time of the crime, the courtroom was opened for the verdict.Halimi's mother, Ruth, has told French television that she believes the proceedings should have been open to the public.A month after the start of the trial, Fofana admitted to having stabbed and set fire to Halimi, pouring flammable liquid over him and setting it alight.Halimi's family lawyers say the young man was targeted because he was Jewish. Critics say French police initially ignored the possibility of anti-Semitic motives in the killing, which, as the case wore on, prompted fears of resurgent anti-Semitism in France.We hope for an exemplary, very dissuasive sentencing,said Sammy Ghozlan, who heads the National Bureau of Awareness against Anti-Semitism, a nongovernment group.Ghozlan argued that authorities should do more to prevent the spread of racism and anti-Semitism in impoverished French suburbs, where the hatred of Israel is triggering anti-Jewish action.
Tensions have erupted at various points during the trial.
One of Fofana's lawyer, Isabelle Coutant-Peyre, said at the time that her client was mistreated by a political and religious marketing campaign.Fofana fled to Ivory Coast after the killing. He was arrested there and extradited to France.According to the investigation, Fofana's Group of Barbarians had allegedly tried to kidnap other people before Halimi, including some of Jewish faith, with the intent of demanding ransom.Halimi's body was reburied in a cemetery in Jerusalem in 2007.Verena von Derschau in Paris contributed to this report.

Turkish leader calls Xinjiang killings genocide
Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:25pm EDT
ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said Friday genocide was being committed in China's northwest province of Xinjiang and called on Chinese authorities to intervene to prevent more deaths.The incidents in China are, simply put, a genocide. There's no point in interpreting this otherwise,Erdogan said.Rioting between Muslim Uighurs and Han Chinese in Xinjiang has killed 156 people and wounded more than 1,000 in the worst ethnic violence in China in decades. Both Uighurs and the Han have claimed a higher death toll from the strife.We're having trouble understanding how the Chinese government would remain a bystander to this,Erdogan told reporters in comments broadcast live on NTV television.We want the Chinese administration, with which our bilateral ties are continuously improving, to show sensitivity.Muslim Turkey shares linguistic and religious links with Uighurs, and Turkish nationalists see Xinjiang as the easternmost frontier of Turkic ethnicity. Thousands of Uighur immigrants live in Turkey.Turkey has sought to boost ties with China, the world's third-biggest economy. President Abdullah Gul last month became the first Turkish president to visit China in 15 years, signing $1.5 billion worth of trade deals, according to Turkish media.Turkey's Industry Minister Thursday called on Turks to boycott Chinese goods to protest the violence in Xinjiang, but a spokesman said this was the minister's personal view and not government policy.Thursday, Erdogan said Turkey would grant a visa to exiled Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer, who is based in the United States. Kadeer told Turkish television that Turkish authorities had twice denied her visa application to visit the country.(Writing by Ayla Jean Yackley)
U.S. military chief says clock ticking on Iran nuke
http://in.reuters.com/
The top U.S. military officer warned on Tuesday that time is running out for dialogue with Tehran to avoid either a nuclear-armed Iran or a possible military strike against the Islamic Republic.Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said it is critical for diplomatic efforts to reach a solution before Iran develops a nuclear weapon or faces an Israeli or U.S. strike to turn back its nuclear program.That window is a very narrow window, Mullen told an audience at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank.There's a great deal that certainly depends on the dialogue and the engagement,he said.I'm hopeful that that dialogue is productive. I worry about it a great deal if it's not.Mullen noted that some forecasters believe Iran could be as little as a year away from developing a nuclear bomb, adding: The clock has continued to tick.The Obama administration hopes to coax Tehran into negotiating over its nuclear program. Washington and its allies say the program is aimed at producing nuclear weapons, but Iran insists it is a civilian electricity program.Israel has said a nuclear-armed Iran would be a threat to its existence and points to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's calls for Israel to be wiped off the map.That has raised concerns that Israel could ultimately carry out a military strike against Iranian nuclear sites.U.S. President Barack Obama said in an interview the United States had absolutely not given Israel a green light to attack Iran over its nuclear program, but he said Washington cannot dictate to other countries what their security interests are.
It is the policy of the United States to try to resolve the issue of Iran's nuclear capabilities in a peaceful way through diplomatic channels, Obama told CNN during his trip to Russia.Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview with ABC's This Week program on Sunday that Israel had a sovereign right to act in its best interest in dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions. The comment was seen by some as giving Israel a green light to attack.Mullen told his audience that Washington must keep all options on the table as it pursues dialogue with Iran,including certainly military options.But he said a military strike -- like the development of an Iranian nuclear bomb itself -- would be very destabilizing for the Middle East and pose unpredictable consequences for U.S. allies and interests.It (a military strike) is a really important place to not go, if we can not go there in any way, shape or form,the admiral said.
Terrorists to descend on Jesus' birthplace
http://www.wnd.com/
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah organization has decided to hold in the West Bank city of Bethlehem its first congress in 20 years. Well-known terrorists and anti-Israel extremists are slated to descend upon the important Christian city, where, among other things, the Fatah party is set to vote on a clause that would affirm resistance against Israel, WND has learned. The event will mark Fatah's sixth General Congress. At the meeting, hundreds of voting Fatah members will discuss the future of their party and pass official resolutions outlining Fatah's major objectives. Abbas secured special permission from Israel to allow Fatah members to travel to Bethlehem from other West Bank towns and the Gaza Strip as well as from Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.According to a list obtained by WND, the Fatah delegates slated to attend the Bethlehem event include such notable jihad supporters as:Kamal Ranam, the chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terrorist group in Ramallah. Ranam is accused personally of carrying out recent shootings, attacks against Israeli forces operating in the Ramallah and a shooting attack in northern Samaria in December 2000 that killed the leader of the ultra-nationalist Kahane Chai organization, Benyamin Kahane. Ranam last year was granted amnesty by then-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as part of a gesture to bolster Abbas.Jamal Abu Al-Rub, a leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades from the Samarian village of Qabatya, just outside Jenin. Al-Rub is commonly known on the Palestinian street by his nickname, Hitler, for his routine public executions of Palestinians his group has suspected of collaborating with Israel. Al-Rub is accused by the Jewish state of planning several terror attacks.
Zacharia Zubeida, a former Al Aqsa Brigades terrorist leader from Jenin who was also pardoned by Olmert in 2007. Zubeida is accused of multiple terrorist attacks and for a time was one of Israel's most wanted terrorists.Abu Mahar Ranam, a Fatah central committee member who openly opposes peace talks with Israel.Sultan Abu al-Ainiin, Fatah's main representative in Lebanon. He is known for his excellent relations with the Hezbollah terrorist group.Qadura Fares, a PA minister and member of the Fatah Legislative Council, explained to WND in a phone interview yesterday the goals of the Fatah congress: We have to check our political ideology. Many things happened in last 20 years since our last congress. We must renew and evaluate our internal laws, the structure of our movement and our messages for Palestinian unity. Lastly, we must elect a new leadership for Fatah institutions.The new Congress also is set to vote on a resolution that would affirm the armed struggle and resistance against Israel as official Fatah doctrine, according to Fatah sources speaking to WND. The Congress was last held in 1989 in Tunisia, prior to any Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations. At the time, the Congress, led by late Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat, officially resolved continuing to intensify and escalate armed action and all forms of armed struggle to liquidate the Zionist occupation from our occupied Palestinian land and guarantee our people's rights to freedom and independence.Israel had hoped under Abbas and amid intense negotiations that the Sixth Congress would moderate the party's objectives.But senior Farah sources speaking to WND said a list of Fatah resolutions to be voted upon includes text affirming as one of Fatah's main objectives the resistance and armed struggle against the Jewish state. The sources said Abbas and other senior Fatah officials opposed the inclusion of resistance in any resolution to be called for a vote but said that the majority of Fatah members insisted it be incorporated.
The sources said it was very likely the resistance clause could be accepted during the congressional meeting by the majority of general Fatah voters, who tend to publicly express more radical views than Abbas.Fatah's Fares told WND that Bethlehem was selected because of the city's hotel space and because it boasts a meeting hall large enough to accommodate the Fatah congress.The choice of Bethlehem, however, may be less than settling to the town's dwindling Christian population which at times has accuses Fatah of intimidation and persecution. Bethlehem is the site of the Church of the Nativity, which is built over a cave that is the believed birthplace of Jesus.
Bethlehem's Christian leaders, most of whom spoke on condition of anonymity, said they face an atmosphere of regular hostility and intimidation by Muslims. They said Palestinian armed groups stir tension by holding militant demonstrations and marches in the streets. They spokes of instances in which Christian shopkeepers' stores were recently ransacked and Christian homes attacked.In April, WND reported a Molotov cocktail and gunshots targeted the car of Bethlehem's Christian mayor as local leaders there quietly fingered Islamists for attempting to intimidate Christians in response to Passover festivities.Christian leaders said one of the most significant problems facing Christians in Bethlehem is the rampant confiscation of land by Muslim gangs.There are many cases where Christians have their land stolen by the [Muslim] mafia,Samir Qumsiyeh, a Bethlehem Christian leader and owner of the Beit Sahour-based private Al-Mahd (Nativity) TV station, told WND. It is a regular phenomenon in Bethlehem,Qumsiyeh said.They go to a poor Christian person with a forged power of attorney document, then they say we have papers proving you're living on our land. If you confront them, many times the Christian is beaten. You can't do anything about it. The Christian loses and he runs away.One Christian Bethlehem resident told WND her friend fled Bethlehem after being accused by Muslims of selling property to Jews, a crime punishable by death in some Palestinian cities. A February 2007 Jerusalem Post article cited the case of Faud and Georgette Lama, Christian residents of Bethlehem who said their land was stolen by local Muslims and when they tried to do something about it, Faud was beaten by gunmen. Bethlehem Christian leaders noted they cannot complain to local authorities since the city's security forces are controlled by the PA.What authorities? asked one Christian leader, rhetorically. You mean the security forces controlled by the Palestinian government, which is allowing this to happen? Qumsiyeh commented,The gangs hide behind the security forces, and one cannot petition the court system. That takes years and many times a verdict isn't even reached.Qumsiyeh himself has been targeted by local militias. Earlier this year, after speaking out publicly against anti-Christian violence, Qumsiyeh says his house was attacked with Molotov cocktails. It was an absolute miracle I wasn't killed,he said.Also my wife was outside at the time. My home has a big gas line that could have exploded.Aiman Abu Eita, Fatah's representative in Bethlehem claimed to WND that Christians were making up stories about persecution: Most of those Christians who left Bethlehem gave the impression of persecution just as an excuse to justify why they left Bethlehem,he said during an in-person interview.Eita claimed a security wall that Israel constructed in 2002, which he said circles the city,strangled Bethlehem's economy and prompted the mass fleeing of Christians.
But Israel did not build a wall that encircles Bethlehem. It built a fence only where the Bethlehem area interfaces with Jerusalem. A tiny segment of the barrier facing a major Israeli roadway is a concrete wall, which Israel says is meant to prevent gunmen from shooting at Israeli motorists. The barrier was built after repeated terror attacks launched from Bethlehem.The vast majority of Bethlehem's Christian emigration occurred between 1995 and 2001, before Israel's barrier was constructed.
Bethlehem's population was more than 80 percent Christian when Israel was founded in 1948, but the Christians have declined to about 23 percent with a large majority of Muslims. The 23 percent Christian statistic is considered generous, since it includes the satellite towns of Beit Sahour and Beit Jala. Some estimates place Bethlehem's actual Christian population as low as 12 percent, with hundreds of Christians emigrating per year.Israel controlled Bethlehem until 1995, when it signed the territory over to the PA as part of the 1993 Oslo Accords. Reports of Christian intimidation by Muslims immediately began to surface after the PA gained control. Arafat also converted a Greek Orthodox monastery next to the Church of Nativity into his official Bethlehem residence.Qumsiyeh told WND if current trends continue, there may be no Christians left in Bethlehem in 15 years. He said he appealed to U.S. Christian leaders to help initiate housing projects and find ways to fortify and strengthen Bethlehem's Christian population, but that little assistance was offered. The way things are, soon there will not be a single Christian living in the land of Jesus,he said.
Seven Christians beheaded in Somalia by Islamic hardliners
http://www.aawsat.com/
Somalia's hardline Islamist rebels beheaded seven people on Friday for being Christians and spies in the latest imposition of strict sharia, Islamic law, by the Al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab group, witnesses said.Al Shabaab, which controls large tracts of south Somalia and parts of the capital Mogadishu, has carried out such executions before, but the beheadings on Friday were believed to be the largest number of killings at one time, Somalis say.Al Shabaab told us that they were beheaded for reasons they described as being Christian followers and spies, said one relative, who gave his name only as Aden, after the killings in the south-central town of Baidoa.The group, which western security services say is a proxy for Al Qaeda in Somalia, beheaded three people in the same region last month.Al Shabaab, which means Youth in Arabic, has vowed to rule the majority Muslim nation by a hardline interpretation of Islamic law. The group has dug up Sufi graves, forced women to wear veils, closed down movie halls and cut off limbs for theft.My husband was missing up to 20 days. Al Shabaab confirmed to us that he and six others were beheaded. We are waiting for his dead body,said Maryan, the wife of one of the victims.Somalia's government has been unable to beat back al Shabaab militants who are making guerrilla-style attacks on Somali troops and an African Union (AU) force there.The government says the insurgency is being led by foreign fighters in al Shabaab's ranks. The United Nations and the AU say hundreds of jihadists have flocked to Somalia to battle the government led by ex-rebel leader Sheikh Sharif Ahmed.The current war is a foreign war led and supported by outside forces. The money and ideologies are foreign-based.
Somalis all support the government,Somali Foreign Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Omaar told reporters in the Ethiopian capital.This is not a war between Somali clans. It is a war against foreign forces who come into the country to overthrow the government that has been elected constitutionally by the Somali people and supported by the international community.On Thursday, the U.N. Security Council warned Eritrea that it would consider action against anyone undermining peace prospects in Somalia, which has been devastated by civil conflict since 1991.Asmara has repeatedly denied claims that the Red Sea state was providing support to insurgents battling the western-backed government, also supported by Eritrea's arch-enemy Ethiopia.The AU, which has 4,300 peacekeepers in the Somali capital, has called for sanctions against Asmara.
Ethiopian tanks and troops crushed an Islamist movement in Somalia in late 2006, but since then a revived insurgency has killed 18,000 civilians and displaced hundreds of thousands.U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay accused al Shabaab on Friday of extrajudicial killings, setting off bombs in residential areas and using civilians as human shields in their fight against Ahmed's administration.The insurgents say they are nationalists seeking to rid Somalia of a western-imposed government which has no popular support.

Arab group says restoring the Islamic Caliphate is the answer not Hamas or Fatah http://www.israelnationalnews.com/
The Hizb ut Tahrir Islamic fundamentalist movement has become active among Palestinian Authority Arabs in Judea and Samaria, pushing a message that only restoring the Islamic caliphate and the rule of Islamic law, not Fatah or Hamas, holds the answer for the region. According to National Public Radio (NPR), the group is arranging rallies and drumming up support while dodging security forces loyal to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who see the group as a threat. The coming of the caliphate threatens the Palestinian Authority regime and threatens the American interests in the area,said Hizb ut Tahrir supporter Osama al-Ansari from Hebron, They are harassing us because a caliphate will not provide for the existence of the Palestinian Authority.Besides not recognizing the authority of the PA or Hamas, the group also does not accept democracy or the concept of the modern nation-state. While the group officially rejects violence, various counterterrorism agencies have argued that radical ideology such as that of Hizb ut Tahrir can be linked to terrorist attacks.While more tolerated in Western countries, the group has been banned by several Mideast regimes.
The PA originally ignored the growth of Hizb ut Tahrir, hoping it would help divide the religious PA Arabs who were flocking to Hamas, senior editor at Al-Ayyam newspaper in Ramallah Khalil Shaheen told NPR. Now, he said, they are suffering from the consequences.It seems that everything is going out of control for the Palestinian Authority,Shaheen said.The Tahrir party is getting more popular in the West Bank and is trying to fill the vacuum that took place after the weakness of Fatah itself.

Report: NKorean army suspected over cyberattacks By HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press Writer – Sat Jul 11, 9:03 am ET
SEOUL, South Korea – A North Korean army lab of hackers was ordered to destroy South Korean communications networks — evidence the isolated regime was behind cyberattacks that paralyzed South Korean and American Web sites — news reports said Saturday, citing an intelligence briefing.Members of the parliamentary intelligence committee have said in recent days that the National Intelligence Service has also pointed to a North Korean boast last month that it was fully ready for any form of high-tech war.
The spy agency told lawmakers Friday that a research institute affiliated with the North's Ministry of People's Armed Forces received an order to destroy the South Korean puppet communications networks in an instant,the mass-circulation JoongAng Ilbo newspaper reported.The paper, citing unidentified members of parliament's intelligence committee, said the institute, known as Lab 110, specializes in hacking and spreading malicious programs.The Ministry of People's Armed Forces is the secretive nation's defense ministry.The NIS — South Korea's main spy agency — said it couldn't confirm the report. Calls to several key intelligence committee members went unanswered Saturday.The agency, however, issued a statement late Saturday saying it has various evidence of North Korean involvement, though has yet to reach a conclusion.South Korea's Yonhap news agency carried a similar report, saying the NIS obtained a North Korean document issuing the June 7 order. The report, quoting an unidentified senior ruling party official, said the North Korean institute is affiliated with the North Korean People's Army.The state-run Korea Communications Commission said Friday that it had identified and blocked five Internet Protocol, or IP, addresses in five countries used to distribute computer viruses that caused the wave of Web site outages, which began in the U.S. on July 4.The addresses point to the computers that distributed the virus that triggered so-called denial of service attacks in which floods of computers try to connect to a single site at the same time, overwhelming the server.
They were in Austria, Georgia, Germany, South Korea and the U.S., a commission official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media on the record.Speculation over who was responsible for the attacks that targeted high-profile Web sites, including those of the White House and South Korea's presidential Blue House, has centered on North Korea.And though such finger-pointing has been trickling out since the attacks began, the identity of the IP addresses themselves provides little in the way of clarity.That's because it is likely the hackers, whoever they are, used the addresses to disguise themselves — for instance, by accessing the computers from a remote location. IP addresses can also be faked or masked, hiding their true location.South Korean media reported in May that North Korea was running an Internet warfare unit that tries to hack into American and South Korean military networks to gather confidential information and disrupt service. The Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported Friday that the North has between 500-1,000 hacking specialists.The fact that some of the attacked sites — such as the ruling party and the office of President Lee Myung-bak — have links to the South Korean government's hard-line policies toward the North was cited as further reason why Pyongyang might attack them.The North has drawn repeated international rebuke in recent months for threats and actions seen as provocative by the international community. Those include a nuclear test in May and short-range ballistic missile launches on July 4.North Korea has not responded to the allegations of its involvement in the Web site outages.The assaults appear to be on the wane. No new similar cyberattacks have been reported in South Korea since Friday evening, according to the state-run Korea Information Security Agency.
