ROMANS 3:13-18
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
DECIEVERS WAXING WORSE AND WORSE.

JEROME CORSI ON JONES TODAY-I KNEW OBAMA WOULD MAKE FRAUD CERTIFICATE-MAY 24,11

Smoking Gun: Gov’t moles alerted investigator of planted Obama birth certificate 2 months before release Aaron Dykes & Alex Jones Infowars.com May 24, 2011
Speaking today on the Alex Jones Show, investigative journalist Jerome R. Corsi dropped a huge bombshell. Dr. Corsi provided proof that he was alerted to an on-going plot to release a fake more than two months before President Obama released his purported long-form birth certificate.Corsi supplied Infowars.com with time-stamped Microsoft Word documents [.ZIP] of five unpublished World Net Daily investigative drafts, written between February 23 and February 24, 2011, two months before Obama’s April 27 birth certificate press conference. The unpublished reports confirm that moles inside the Hawaiian State government, including one inside the Department of Health, had warned Corsi of a plan by Obama operatives to plant and then publicly release a forged birth certificate.The veteran investigative journalist released more details during a live appearance today, two hours and 8 minutes into the three hour broadcast.
LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW HERE:
http://www.infowars.com/smoking-gun-govt-moles-alerted-investigator-of-planted-obama-birth-certificate-2-months-before-release/
Three weeks before the April 27th Obama press conference, Corsi was contacted again by his informants, who had been keeping a close eye on the birth records. It had happened. Prior to April 2011, there had been no Barack Obama birth certificate in the sequentially numbered book, but as of early April, it had suddenly appeared in the records.Remember, in January 2011, Hawaiian Governor-elect Neil Abercrombie had told reporters that he was unable to locate President Obama’s birth certificate, but a few months later it had magically appeared. Now here’s the smoking gun bombshells:
#1 Corsi has witnesses inside the Hawaiian government that accurately called what was going to happen, and who can be called as witnesses once Corsi files his criminal charges with the FBI.
#2 Obama Took the Bait – World Net Daily publisher Joseph Farah and investigator Jerome Corsi are on record via e-mail and in front of staff discussing the fact that the moles had warned them of the planted birth certificate, and the plan to roll it out. Farah and Corsi again decided, as they had done with their earlier February 24 report, to not go public and let Obama commit himself openly to the forgery.Corsi is preparing to release even more information to the press in the coming days and weeks. But to recap, World Net Daily has the proof that months before Obama rolled-out his supposed long-form birth certificate, WND.com knew that the birth certificate was indeed not there but would soon be planted. The initial intel from February indicated a plan by Democratic operatives to release it as an October surprise for the 2012 election.The imminent publication of Dr. Corsi’s book, Where’s the Birth Certficate, forced the White House hand to speed up the release. Think about it: after two-and-a-half years and $2 million in lawyer fees to stonewall the release of the birth certificate, President Obama sent his lawyer to Hawaii to suddenly produce it. This timeline only adds additional credibility to the account put forward by Corsi.Add to all of this the fact that the Kenyan government has now released two new documents confirming that the U.S. ambassador to Kenya under George W. Bush requested information on then Senator Obama’s birth records in Kenya. In the government letters we discover that the Kenyan government carried out an investigation searching for the birth records and confirmed that the documents had been criminally removed.
Below is the unedited fifth draft from February 24, 2011 unpublished World Net Daily story covering the intent to plant a forged birth certificate in the Hawaiian Health Department records or click here for a ZIP file of the original drafts.

WND Warned to Block Possible Future Release of Fraudulent Obama Birth Records
States Passing Eligibility Laws Advised to Submit Original Obama Birth Documents to Forensic Examination By Jerome R. Corsi
WND has been warned that certain government officials in Hawaii have been contemplating releasing fraudulent Obama birth records and that WND has in its possession information that will be able to prove the forgery.According to a top-level WND confidential source with access to officials within the Hawaii government, the long-form birth certificates issued to the Nordyke twins one day after Barack Obama was born create a barrier for anyone attempting to produce a fraudulent long-form, Kapi’olani-generated birth certificate for Obama.In a series of emails and phone calls, the Hawaiian source pointed out to WND the key to understanding why forging a Kapi’olani birth certificate for Obama is difficult lies in an analysis of the certificate numbers the Hawaii Department of Health issued to twin daughters born to Eleanor Nordyke at the Kapi’olani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital on Aug. 5, 1961, one day after Obama was supposedly born at the facility.
The source warned WND that Obama supporters in Hawaii are contemplating the release of fraudulent Obama birth records in the run-up to the 2012 presidential elections.
WND’s confidential source further warned that any fraudulent Obama birth records originating in Hawaii will be sufficiently expert that the forgery can only be detected by forensic examination of the originals, not from digitized copies or photographs circulated of the forgery on the Internet.WND cannot release the identity of the confidential source without risking the person’s life.Speculation continues in Hawaii that Governor Neal Abercrombie asked Dr. Neal Palafox to withdraw his nomination as director of the Hawaii Department of Health because Palafox was unable to produce for Governor Abercrombie legitimate Hawaii Department of Health birth records that would substantiate Abercrombie’s repeated claims Obama was born at Kapi’olani, and Palafox was determined to prevent any forgeries from emerging within the Hawaii DOH.The WND confidential source urged WND to investigate Abercrombie’s decision to remove Dr. Palafox in relation to the possibility Dr. Palafox refused to participate in a scheme to create fraudulent Obama birth records or otherwise misrepresent existing records to dispel continuing doubts over whether Obama was born in Hawaii or not.The Honolulu Star Advertiser has reported today http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/hawaiinews/20110224_Answers_sought_on_Palafox_issue.html that Hawaii Senate Minority leader Sam Slom, http://washingtonexaminer.com/politics/2011/02/hawaii-dispiriting-glimpse-one-party-rule the only Republican in the 25-person Democratic-controlled Hawaii Senate, has asked Abercrombie to provide additional information regarding Abercrombie’s decision to ask Dr. Palafox to withdraw his nomination.
In a letter to Abercrombie dated last Friday, Slom said he has confirmed with federal sources that Dr. Palafox is not under any investigation, the reason Abercrombie’s office alleged was behind the governor’s request for Palafox to withdraw.If he is indeed innocent, let’s clear this matter up and allow the Senate to consider him for the position, Slom wrote to Abercrombie.The Health Department has a number of problems and strong leadership is required.The Hawaii Reporter http://www.hawaiireporter.com/palafox-should-be-publicly-cleared-back-at-health-department-job-if-he-has-been-wrongly-accused/123 published on Friday, Feb. 18, a complete text of Slom’s letter to Abercrombie.
As a member of the Health Committee who would be considering his [Palafox’s] or another nomination, I am requesting additional information to determine whether or not he was falsely accused,Slom wrote Abercrombie.It would be unfortunate to have these allegations hanging over him if they are not ture.Here is the crux of the problem any forger attempting to produce false Obama birth records faces:As WND reported in July 2009, http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=105347 a close examination of the long-form birth certificates issued by Kapi’olani to the Nordyke twins reveals that the number sequence given the twins precedes the certificate number given President Obama, even though President Obama was born supposedly at the same hospital a day earlier than the Nordyke Twins.Susan Nordyke, the first twin born, was born at 2:12 pm local Hawaii time on Aug. 5, 1961, and was given Certificate Number 151 – 61—10637, which was filed with the Hawaii Registrar on Aug. 11, 1961.Gretchen Nordyke, the second twin born, was born at 2:17 pm local Hawaii time on Aug. 5, 1961, and was given Certificate Number 151—61—10638, which was also filed with the Hawaii Registrar on Aug. 11, 1961.
Yet, according to the Certification of Live Birth, or COLB, released by FactCheck.org during the 2008 presidential campaign, http://www.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/birth_certificate_2.jpg Barack Obama was given a higher certificate number than the Nordyke twins, File Number 151—1961—10641, even though he was born on Aug. 4, 1961, the day before the Nordyke twins, and his birth was registered with the Hawaii Department of Health registrar three days earlier, on Aug. 8, 1961.So, any long-form, Kapi’olani Hospital-generated birth certificate for Obama carrying the certificate number displayed on the FactCheck.org COLB would be an obvious forgery.If Obama had been born on Aug. 4, 1961, as claimed, the certificate number of his long-form, Kapi’olani Hospital-generated birth certificate would have carried a number preceding the certificate numbers on the authentic Nordyke twin birth certificates.Yet, on the other hand, if a forger were to release, a long-form, Kapi’olani Hospital-generated birth certificate with a number earlier in sequence to the certificate numbers for the Kapi’olani twins, that would prove the FactCheck.org COLB was a fraud, as has been widely speculated since the document first appeared on the Internet.Here are the Nordyke twins birth certificates:
null
Here is the FactCheck.org Obama COLB with the certificate number not blocked out:
null
Source: http://www.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/birth_certificate_2.jpg
It turns out WND has possessed this information regarding the certificate numbers on the Nordyke twins’ birth certificates for over two years without realizing the importance of this information in blocking Obama supporters from releasing fraudulent birth documents created possibly by reconstructing original documents drawn from the Hawaii Department of Health archives.The analysis further suggests that in order to prevent a false Obama birth certificate surfacing, possibly even from within the Hawaiian government, proposed state laws regarding presidential eligibility should specify that state election officials have the right to conduct an expert forensic examination of original copies of presidential birth documents to establish authenticity.
The Hawaii newspaper birth announcements
Another important anomaly blocking a possible forgery involves the Hawaii newspaper birth announcements for Obama and for the Nordyke twins.The FactCheck.org COLB indicates the Obama birth was born on Aug. 4, 1961, and the birth was registered with the Hawaii Department of Health on Aug. 8, 1961.The Obama birth announcements appeared in the Honolulu newspapers on Aug. 13, 1961, five days after the birth was registered.The Nordyke twins’ birth certificates indicates they were born the next day, Aug. 5, 1961, and their births were registered with the Hawaii Department of Health on Aug. 11, 1961, three days after Obama’s birth was registered, despite Obama being born a day earlier.The Nordyke twins’ birth announcements appeared in the Honolulu newspapers on Aug. 16, five days after the Nordyke twins’ births were registered.Here is the announcement of the Obama birth as it appeared in the Honolulu Sunday Advertiser, on Aug. 13, 1961:
null
Or, shown in detail from the Honolulu Star Bulletin, on Aug. 13, 1961:
null
Here is the announcement of the Nordyke twins’ birth as it appeared in the Honolulu Advertiser on Aug. 16, 1961:
null
Source: http://myveryownpointofview.wordpress.com/2010/01/07/editing/
Eleanor Nordyke has speculated her twins got an earlier birth certificate number because she entered Kapi’olani Hospital earlier than Ann Dunham and gave birth later.
Still, no records for Ann Dunham having been a patient at Kapi’olani in 1961 or of Obama having been born at the hospital on Aug. 4, 1961, have ever been released by the hospital.Any successful forgery of Obama birth records would have to agree with the dates listed in Kapi’olani patient and birth records for the document to be authentic.If Kapi’olani Hospital records show that Ann Dunham was admitted to the hospital prior to Eleanor Nordyke, there would be no explanation for Obama’s birth record to have a higher certificate number.Forgers are further boxed in by the registration date listed on the Obama FactCheck.org COLB, such any forged Obama long-form, Kapi’olani birth certificate would have to have not only a later certificate number than that given the Nordyke twins, but also an earlier registration date.The point is that any document claimed to be a Kapi’olani-generated birth certificate for Obama would both need to be subject to expert forensic examination of the original document to determine its authenticity, but would also need to be checked against Kapi’olani-maintained patient records and registration records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health.

The Obamanator: Destroying opposing speech
May 25, 2011 By Director By Douglas J. Hagmann & Joseph Hagmann
25 May 2011: Internet web sites, pundits, bloggers, commentators and denizens of the alternative media who are critical of Barack Hussein Obama beware, as you will now be officially in the crosshairs of the Obama White House. As part of his 2012 re-election campaign, the Obama administration this week created an online rapid response team tasked specifically with quashing any Internet articles and news critical of Obama.This team is headed by Internet guru Jesse C. LEE, 31 of Tacoma Park, Maryland, who was named the Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. Unsurprisingly, this is the first administration in history to ever create such a position, and LEE is well suited to head the Ministry of Propaganda, err… the Progressive Media & Online Response team.
Displaying the hubris of an emperor rather than an elected official and possibly violating campaign finance by doing so, Obama brought the fight against Internet publications critical of his administration in-house. Previously, such efforts were performed and funded by the Democratic National Committee (DNC). With LEE’s hire inside of the White House Communications Department, the operation is now being officially funded by the American taxpayers.To launch his campaign against Obama detractors and negative reports, LEE has already created an official White House Twitter account, featuring as his first tweet the image of The Terminator with the message OK, turning on the White House Twitter machine that they issued me in 3…2…1…
By design, the image sends a threatening message to anyone critical of the Obama administration and sends a signal that unfavorable reports about Obama and his reign will be dealt with much more aggressively.As Americans, we know that the right to a free press and public opposition to the ruling powers is integral to our freedom. What message is this White House sending to those who aspire to engage in a healthy debate or discussion of issues by affixing the image of The Terminator to its official White House Twitter account? We’d say that tactic is much more consistent with the Orwellian theme of Newspeak and its enforcement, rather than one actually committed to the truth.Welcome to the digital age of Obama.
Government Meet the White House’s New Story Squasher & Director of Progressive Media Posted on May 24, 2011 at 9:40am by Jonathon M. Seidl Jonathon M. Seidl
Jesse Lee in a picture featured on his official White House Twitter account.Just so you know, your tax dollars are now paying for a “director of progressive media & online response” within the White House. Translation: a dedicated enforcer and story squasher that loves the liberal media.This week, Jesse Lee will move from the new media department into a role in the communications department as Director of Progressive Media & Online Response,Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said in an internal memo provided to The Huffington Post.For the last two years, Jesse has often worn two hats working in new media and serving as the White House’s liaison with the progressive media and online community. Starting this week, Jesse will take on the second role full time working on outreach, strategy and response.How does HuffPo take that? “The Obama administration has created and staffed a new position tucked inside their communications shop for helping coordinate rapid response to unfavorable stories and fostering and improving relations with the progressive online community.If the name Jesse Lee sounds familiar it’s probably because back in 2009 he wrote a White House blog post bashing Glenn Beck.Via a new official White House Twitter account, Lee has already started the spin:Lee’s progressive pedigree makes him a natural fit for the position. He’s worked at the Democratic National Committee and also served as a media adviser to Nancy Pelosi.
White House Beefs Up Online Rapid Response-First Posted: 05/23/11 01:43 PM ET Updated: 05/23/11 02:05 PM ET SAM STIEN-HUFPOST
WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration has created and staffed a new position tucked inside their communications shop for helping coordinate rapid response to unfavorable stories and fostering and improving relations with the progressive online community.This week, Jesse Lee will move from the new media department into a role in the communications department as Director of Progressive Media & Online Response, read an internal memo from Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer, provided to The Huffington Post.For the last two years, Jesse has often worn two hats working in new media and serving as the White House's liaison with the progressive media and online community. Starting this week, Jesse will take on the second role full time working on outreach, strategy and response.The post is a new one for this White House. Rapid response has been the purview of the Democratic National Committee (and will continue to be). Lee's hire, however, suggests that a portion of it will now be handled from within the administration. It also signals that the White House will be adopting a more aggressive engagement in the online world in the months ahead.Lee has played that role in the past, including writing a semi-infamous White House blog post that said Fox News' Glenn Beck was lying about the administration on his show. His new gig comes with its own Twitter account, precisely for the purposes of disseminating push back.
An equally telling requirement of Lee's new job, however, is that of crafting strategy for outreach to the progressive community. Lee has been tasked with that responsibility in his previous incarnations, both as a member of the DNC online team during the '08 election and as a senior new media adviser with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).His new post may require even more delicate hand-holding. Instead of managing the administration's web presence, he will be pressing to make the administration more popular on the web. In that respect, his Twitter account could also become an interesting window into the status of the always emotional, occasional testy dance between progressives and the president.Lee enjoys good relationships with much of the online community, but as a member of the administration for the past two years he has also had his moments of friction.

Corsi To File Criminal Charges Against White House Over Obama Birth Certificate Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com May 24, 2011
http://www.infowars.com/corsi-to-file-criminal-charges-against-white-house-over-obama-birth-certificate/
Jerome Corsi has told a Cincinnati radio station that he is preparing to file criminal charges against the White House for producing a fraudulent birth certificate, as the controversial author of Where’s the Birth Certificate? closes in on the people within Obama’s inner circle he claims were behind the hoax.We believe the birth records released by Barack Obama on April 27th, the so called long form birth certificate, is fraudulent, Corsi told radio host Bill Cunningham.I’m working on filing criminal charges on the White House, I think there will be criminal charges filed very soon for having fraudulently produced a birth certificate,said Corsi, adding that he would seek an FBI investigation.Corsi re-affirmed the fact that he was close to identifying the individual who played a key role in forging the birth certificate, as well as the source document which the White House used to create the composite fake.According to The Birther Report, the Clear Channel radio station on which Corsi appeared, 700 WLW later scrubbed the interview from their audio archives, a claim that was also carried by World Net Daily. The You Tube video above was made by a listener.Clear Channel was also behind the removal of a billboard that was part of a World Net Daily campaign to bring attention to the birther issue in November 2009.As we reported yesterday, Corsi is closing in on the people within Obama’s inner circle who were responsible for creating the fraudulent document that was released by the White House in electronic format and contains a plethora of errors and clear evidence of manipulation.
I’m pretty well on the trail of linking the characteristics of this document to someone who’s going to have a lot of explaining to do, said Corsi, adding that he was hot on the trail of one individual who may have had a hand in this, and that his identity would be released this week.In a new development, WND reports that Obama’s Social Security number was issued in Connecticut, a state in which he never lived.
The first three digits of Obama’s SSN are 042. That code of 042 falls within the range of numbers for Connecticut, which according to the Social Security Administration has been 040 through 049,states the report.There is obviously a case of fraud going on here,says Ohio licensed private investigator Susan Daniels.In 15 years of having a private investigator’s license in Ohio, I’ve never seen the Social Security Administration make a mistake of issuing a Connecticut Social Security number to a person who lived in Hawaii. There is no family connection that would appear to explain the anomaly.Daniels said that Obama decided to hide his identity in the 80′s by taking a Social Security Number he couldn’t possibly have acquired without breaking the law.
Obama’s ineligibility: The U.S. government must be purged- Lawrence Sellin Monday, May 23, 2011
The present government of the United States is largely a blend of corruption and mismanagement. It no longer responds to or is trusted by a growing number of Americans.Not being a natural born citizen, Barack Hussein Obama has never been eligible for the Presidency and he may have committed felonies both before and after occupying the nation’s highest office.Yet, despite mounting evidence, not one member of Congress or anyone in the executive or judicial branches dares to speak up or initiate an investigation.Why is that? Choose your noun. The Obama issue is about complicity, negligence, avarice and cowardice.There are likely many who are complicit in a cover-up, many who were derelict in their duty to screen Obama and many selfish individuals who love their power and privileges more than their country.
Smoking out Obama will be a tough and dirty business. None of our professional politicians want to soil their hands. They will leave the hard work to others, but, when it is safe to do so, they will express their faux outrage and indignation and claim credit for saving the country.Cowards, sycophants and the greedy are not the kind of people worthy to lead a great nation.Republican Senator Jim DeMint defined the problem we are facing:Americans know real change in Washington will never happen until we end the era of permanent politicians. As long as members of Congress have the chance to spend their lives in Washington, their interests will always skew toward spending taxpayer dollars to pay off special interest supporters, covering over corruption in the bureaucracy, fund-raising, relationship-building with lobbyists, and trading favors for pork; in short, amassing their own power.Similar opinions have also been expressed by Democrats, such as former Congresswoman Bella Abzug:The inside operation of Congress - the deals, the compromises, the selling out, the co-opting, the unprincipled manipulating, the self-serving career-building - is a story of such monumental decadence, I believe that if people find out about it they will demand an end to it.
There is no better example of corruption than the current allegations against the Princess of San Francisco, former House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi.Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced that it has obtained documents from the Department of Defense (DOD) detailing her multiple requests for military air travel.According to Judicial Watch, the emails from Pelosi’s staff reek of entitlement, privilege and a lack of concern about wasting taxpayer money. The former House Speaker treated the Air Force like her personnel airline.That may be added to recent reports of the distribution of Obamacare waivers as possible political payoffs.Nowadays the main activities of Congress seem to be blundering and plundering.Theodore Roosevelt said:It is the duty of all citizens, irrespective of party, to denounce, and, so far as may be, to punish crimes against the public on the part of politicians or officials.
Professional politicians may be elected by the people, but they are owned by the fat cats. It is the wealthy special interest groups for whom the Congress works and who sustain the entire professional political class.Term limits may be the only way to break a cycle of corruption, but Congress and the lobbies strongly oppose them.The US will not survive unless we as citizens understand that we alone are the guardians of the law and the Congress is only a vehicle for its implementation.If we do not rise up against the usurpation of power and the endemic corruption of the professional political class, our silence will be construed as a surrender of our rights.We must not allow Obama to run for re-election without a proper investigation of his background and the truth being revealed. If there is a conspiracy to defraud the American people, the guilty must be rooted out and punished.Ordinary Americans must now act because the professional political class will never do so. It may become prudent to exercise our Second Amendment rights vigorously.Cowardice asks the question Is it safe? Expediency asks the question Is it politic? But conscience asks the question,Is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but because conscience tells one it is right.—Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
White House Hires Terminator To Squash Negative Stories About Obama-During 2008 campaign,truth squads threatened jail time for anyone who told lies about Obama White House Hires Terminator To Squash Negative Stories About Obama 240511top Image: Wikimedia Commons Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Tuesday, May 24, 2011
http://www.prisonplanet.com/white-house-hires-terminator-to-squash-negative-stories-about-obama.html
In a bid to squash negative stories about Barack Obama that appear on the Internet, the White House has hired a dedicated propagandist whose role will be to savage people who tell lies about the President, in a chilling reminder of how prosecutors threatened people with jail time during the 2008 campaign if they criticized Obama.
The Obama administration has created and staffed a new position tucked inside their communications shop for helping coordinate rapid response to unfavorable stories and fostering and improving relations with the progressive online community, reports the Huffington Post.The man tasked with the role of “disseminating push back” against Obama’s online critics by direct order of the White House will be Jesse Lee, a blogger who has previously put out White House spin in response to claims made by Glenn Beck.The post is a new one for this White House. Rapid response has been the purview of the Democratic National Committee (and will continue to be). Lee’s hire, however, suggests that a portion of it will now be handled from within the administration. It also signals that the White House will be adopting a more aggressive engagement in the online world in the months ahead.
White House Hires Terminator To Squash Negative Stories About Obama 240511
Lee’s first Tweet as an official mouthpiece for White House propaganda and the Obama administration’s move to launch an aggressive defense of the president and his policies gives us some indication of what we can expect – the post includes a picture of the Terminator robot.If you’re going to post something online about Obama that isn’t true, Lee is going to be the one to handle you, reports Chris O’Shea, noting that the move is about squashing any negative stories that could derail Obama’s re-election bid.Lee obviously sees himself taking the role of Terminator in destroying conspiracies and disinformation about the Obama 2012 campaign, similar to how Obama-supporting prosecutors and sheriffs in Missouri threatened people with jail time for telling lies about Obama during the 2008 campaign. News agencies in Pennsylvania and Ohio were also sent threatening letters demanding they stop airing ads exposing Obama’s anti-gun stance.This has nothing to do with circulating lies about Obama, this is about intimidating, silencing and smearing anyone who dares tell the truth about Obama’s record or his highly dubious personal history.
As we documented in 2008, the Obama campaign’s effort to target lies about the president’s record was actually a transparent bid to keep his extreme anti-second amendment record under the radar as the election neared.Not only was he on record as opposing handgun rights in Washington DC, Obama served on the board of the Joyce Foundation, probably the largest private funder of anti-gun and pro-ban groups and research in the country. In addition, Obama voted for a bill that would expand the definition of armor piercing ammunition and support[ed] banning the sale of ammunition for assault weapons,including 223 and .308 caliber bullets, the most common rifle ammunition. He supported the Illinois Firearms Owners Identification (FOID) Card, mandatory for residents when they buy any firearm in the state.Obama’s record was clearly anti-second amendment to the hilt, but to communicate this fact to the public was characterized as lying about the campaign by Obama’s enforcers, and was met with threats and intimidation.Expect the same thing to happen for 2012 – verifiable facts about Obama’s voting record and his stance on key issues, as well as documented examples of his deception on a myriad of different topics, will be targeted for termination by Obama’s team of online attack dogs led by Jesse Lee.And all this from the same administration that wants to give Obama a figurative kill switch for the Internet that would hand the President Communist Chinese-style powers to shut down parts of the Internet for security reasons, in other words to silence and censor legitimate political opposition to Obama’s big government agenda.Of course, this is all straight out of Cass Sunstein’s blueprint for hijacking and censoring the Internet by government regulation. Sunstein, Obama’s White House information czar, wrote a series of papers before the 2008 election in which he advocated banning or taxing conspiracy theories, including skepticism about man-made global warming, in addition to mandating by law that websites link to opposing information or that pop ups containing government propaganda be forcibly included on political blogs.Obama supporter Bill Clinton, not known for his honesty, also recently advocated the creation of an Internet ministry of truth to address misinformation and rumors floating on the Internet.

SPEECH BY NETANYAHU AT AIPAC AND WHITEHOUSE
Full text: Netanyahu speech to US Congress Published today 19:40-Speech by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a Joint Meeting of the United States Congress, May 24, 2011 http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=390785
I am deeply honored by your warm welcome. And I am deeply honored that you have given me the opportunity to address Congress a second time.Mr. Vice President, do you remember the time we were the new kids in town? And I do see a lot of old friends here. And I do see a lot of new friends of Israel here. Democrats and Republicans alike.Israel has no better friend than America. And America has no better friend than Israel. We stand together to defend democracy. We stand together to advance peace. We stand together to fight terrorism. Congratulations America, Congratulations, Mr. President. You got bin Laden. Good riddance! In an unstable Middle East, Israel is the one anchor of stability. In a region of shifting alliances, Israel is America’s unwavering ally. Israel has always been pro-American. Israel will always be pro-American.My friends, you don’t need to do nation building in Israel. We’re already built. You don’t need to export democracy to Israel. We’ve already got it. You don’t need to send American troops to defend Israel. We defend ourselves. You’ve been very generous in giving us tools to do the job of defending Israel on our own. Thank you all, and thank you President Obama, for your steadfast commitment to Israel’s security. I know economic times are tough. I deeply appreciate this.
Support for Israel’s security is a wise investment in our common future. For an epic battle is now unfolding in the Middle East, between tyranny and freedom. A great convulsion is shaking the earth from the Khyber Pass to the Straits of Gibraltar. The tremors have shattered states and toppled governments. And we can all see that the ground is still shifting. Now this historic moment holds the promise of a new dawn of freedom and opportunity. Millions of young people are determined to change their future. We all look at them. They muster courage. They risk their lives. They demand dignity. They desire liberty.These extraordinary scenes in Tunis and Cairo, evoke those of Berlin and Prague in 1989. Yet as we share their hopes, but we also must also remember that those hopes could be snuffed out as they were in Tehran in 1979. You remember what happened then. The brief democratic spring in Iran was cut short by a ferocious and unforgiving tyranny. This same tyranny smothered Lebanon’s democratic Cedar Revolution, and inflicted on that long-suffering country, the medieval rule of Hezbollah.So today, the Middle East stands at a fateful crossroads. Like all of you, I pray that the peoples of the region choose the path less travelled, the path of liberty. No one knows what this path consists of better than you. This path is not paved by elections alone. It is paved when governments permit protests in town squares, when limits are placed on the powers of rulers, when judges are beholden to laws and not men, and when human rights cannot be crushed by tribal loyalties or mob rule.Israel has always embraced this path, in the Middle East has long rejected it. In a region where women are stoned, gays are hanged, Christians are persecuted, Israel stands out. It is different.As the great English writer George Eliot predicted over a century ago, that once established, the Jewish state will "shine like a bright star of freedom amid the despotisms of the East.” Well, she was right. We have a free press, independent courts, an open economy, rambunctious parliamentary debates. You think you guys are tough on one another in Congress? Come spend a day in the Knesset. Be my guest.
Courageous Arab protesters, are now struggling to secure these very same rights for their peoples, for their societies. We're proud that over one million Arab citizens of Israel have been enjoying these rights for decades. Of the 300 million Arabs in the Middle East and North Africa, only Israel’s Arab citizens enjoy real democratic rights. I want you to stop for a second and think about that. Of those 300 million Arabs, less than one-half of one-percent are truly free, and they're all citizens of Israel! This startling fact reveals a basic truth: Israel is not what is wrong about the Middle East. Israel is what is right about the Middle East.Israel fully supports the desire of Arab peoples in our region to live freely. We long for the day when Israel will be one of many real democracies in the Middle East.Fifteen years ago, I stood at this very podium, and said that democracy must start to take root in the Arab World. Well, it's begun to take root. This beginning holds the promise of a brilliant future of peace and prosperity. For I believe that a Middle East that is genuinely democratic will be a Middle East truly at peace.But while we hope and work for the best, we must also recognize that powerful forces oppose this future. They oppose modernity. They oppose democracy. They oppose peace.Foremost among these forces is Iran. The tyranny in Tehran brutalizes its own people. It supports attacks against American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. It subjugates Lebanon and Gaza. It sponsors terror worldwide.When I last stood here, I spoke of the dire consequences of Iran developing nuclear weapons. Now time is running out, and the hinge of history may soon turn. For the greatest danger facing humanity could soon be upon us: A militant Islamic regime armed with nuclear weapons.Militant Islam threatens the world. It threatens Islam. I have no doubt that it will ultimately be defeated. It will eventually succumb to the forces of freedom and progress. But like other fanaticisms that were doomed to fail, militant Islam could exact a horrific price from all of us before its inevitable demise.
A nuclear-armed Iran would ignite a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. It would give terrorists a nuclear umbrella. It would make the nightmare of nuclear terrorism a clear and present danger throughout the world. I want you to understand what this means. They could put the bomb anywhere. They could put it on a missile. It could be on a container ship in a port, or in a suitcase on a subway.Now the threat to my country cannot be overstated. Those who dismiss it are sticking their heads in the sand. Less than seven decades after six million Jews were murdered, Iran's leaders deny the Holocaust of the Jewish people, while calling for the annihilation of the Jewish state.Leaders who spew such venom, should be banned from every respectable forum on the planet. But there is something that makes the outrage even greater: The lack of outrage. In much of the international community, the calls for our destruction are met with utter silence. It is even worse because there are many who rush to condemn Israel for defending itself against Iran’s terror proxies.But not you. Not America. You have acted differently. You've condemned the Iranian regime for its genocidal aims. You’ve passed tough sanctions against Iran. History will salute you America.President Obama has said that the United States is determined to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. He successfully led the Security Council to adopt sanctions against Iran. You in Congress passed even tougher sanctions. These words and deeds are vitally important.Yet the Ayatollah regime briefly suspended its nuclear program only once, in 2003, when it feared the possibility of military action. That same year, Muammar Qadaffi gave up his nuclear weapons program, and for the same reason. The more Iran believes that all options are on the table, the less the chance of confrontation. This is why I ask you to continue to send an unequivocal message: That America will never permit Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
As for Israel, if history has taught the Jewish people anything, it is that we must take calls for our destruction seriously. We are a nation that rose from the ashes of the Holocaust. When we say never again, we mean never again. Israel always reserves the right to defend itself.My friends, while Israel will be ever vigilant in its defense, we will never give up on our quest for peace. I guess we’ll give it up when we achieve it. Israel wants peace. Israel needs peace. We've achieved historic peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan that have held up for decades.I remember what it was like before we had peace. I was nearly killed in a firefight inside the Suez Canal. I mean that literally. I battled terrorists along both banks of the Jordan River. Too many Israelis have lost loved ones. I know their grief. I lost my brother.So no one in Israel wants a return to those terrible days. The peace with Egypt and Jordan has long served as an anchor of stability and peace in the heart of the Middle East.This peace should be bolstered by economic and political support to all those who remain committed to peace.The peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan are vital. But they're not enough. We must also find a way to forge a lasting peace with the Palestinians. Two years ago, I publicly committed to a solution of two states for two peoples: A Palestinian state alongside the Jewish state.I am willing to make painful compromises to achieve this historic peace. As the leader of Israel, it is my responsibility to lead my people to peace.This is not easy for me. I recognize that in a genuine peace, we will be required to give up parts of the Jewish homeland. In Judea and Samaria, the Jewish people are not foreign occupiers. We are not the British in India. We are not the Belgians in the Congo.
This is the land of our forefathers, the Land of Israel, to which Abraham brought the idea of one God, where David set out to confront Goliath, and where Isaiah saw a vision of eternal peace. No distortion of history can deny the four thousand year old bond, between the Jewish people and the Jewish land.But there is another truth: The Palestinians share this small land with us. We seek a peace in which they will be neither Israel’s subjects nor its citizens. They should enjoy a national life of dignity as a free, viable and independent people in their own state. They should enjoy a prosperous economy, where their creativity and initiative can flourish.We've already seen the beginnings of what is possible. In the last two years,
the Palestinians have begun to build a better life for themselves. Prime Minister Fayad has led this effort. I wish him a speedy recovery from his recent operation.
We've helped the Palestinian economy by removing hundreds of barriers and roadblocks to the free flow of goods and people. The results have been nothing short of remarkable. The Palestinian economy is booming. It's growing by more than 10% a year.
Palestinian cities look very different today than they did just a few years ago. They have shopping malls, movie theaters, restaurants, banks. They even have e-businesses. This is all happening without peace. Imagine what could happen with peace. Peace would herald a new day for both peoples. It would make the dream of a broader Arab-Israeli peace a realistic possibility.
So now here is the question. You have to ask it. If the benefits of peace with the Palestinians are so clear, why has peace eluded us? Because all six Israeli Prime Ministers since the signing of Oslo accords agreed to establish a Palestinian state. Myself included. So why has peace not been achieved? Because so far, the Palestinians have been unwilling to accept a Palestinian state, if it meant accepting a Jewish state alongside it.You see, our conflict has never been about the establishment of a Palestinian state. It has always been about the existence of the Jewish state. This is what this conflict is about. In 1947, the United Nations voted to partition the land into a Jewish state and an Arab state. The Jews said yes. The Palestinians said no. In recent years, the Palestinians twice refused generous offers by Israeli Prime Ministers, to establish a Palestinian state on virtually all the territory won by Israel in the Six Day War.They were simply unwilling to end the conflict. And I regret to say this: They continue to educate their children to hate. They continue to name public squares after terrorists. And worst of all, they continue to perpetuate the fantasy that Israel will one day be flooded by the descendants of Palestinian refugees.My friends, this must come to an end. President Abbas must do what I have done. I stood before my people, and I told you it wasn’t easy for me, and I said… I will accept a Palestinian state. It is time for President Abbas to stand before his people and say…I will accept a Jewish state.Those six words will change history. They will make clear to the Palestinians that this conflict must come to an end. That they are not building a state to continue the conflict with Israel, but to end it. They will convince the people of Israel that they have a true partner for peace. With such a partner, the people of Israel will be prepared to make a far reaching compromise. I will be prepared to make a far reaching compromise.
This compromise must reflect the dramatic demographic changes that have occurred since 1967. The vast majority of the 650,000 Israelis who live beyond the 1967 lines, reside in neighborhoods and suburbs of Jerusalem and Greater Tel Aviv.These areas are densely populated but geographically quite small. Under any realistic peace agreement, these areas, as well as other places of critical strategic and national importance, will be incorporated into the final borders of Israel.The status of the settlements will be decided only in negotiations. But we must also be honest. So I am saying today something that should be said publicly by anyone serious about peace. In any peace agreement that ends the conflict, some settlements will end up beyond Israel’s borders. The precise delineation of those borders must be negotiated. We will be very generous on the size of a future Palestinian state. But as President Obama said, the border will be different than the one that existed on June 4, 1967. Israel will not return to the indefensible lines of 1967.We recognize that a Palestinian state must be big enough to be viable, independent and prosperous. President Obama rightly referred to Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people, just as he referred to the future Palestinian state as the homeland of the Palestinian people. Jews from around the world have a right to immigrate to the Jewish state. Palestinians from around the world should have a right to immigrate, if they so choose, to a Palestinian state. This means that the Palestinian refugee problem will be resolved outside the borders of Israel.
As for Jerusalem, only a democratic Israel has protected freedom of worship for all faiths in the city. Jerusalem must never again be divided. Jerusalem must remain the united capital of Israel. I know that this is a difficult issue for Palestinians. But I believe with creativity and goodwill a solution can be found.This is the peace I plan to forge with a Palestinian partner committed to peace. But you know very well, that in the Middle East, the only peace that will hold is a peace you can defend.So peace must be anchored in security. In recent years, Israel withdrew from South Lebanon and Gaza. But we didn't get peace. Instead, we got 12,000 thousand rockets fired from those areas on our cities, on our children, by Hezbollah and Hamas. The UN peacekeepers in Lebanon failed to prevent the smuggling of this weaponry. The European observers in Gaza evaporated overnight. So if Israel simply walked out of the territories, the flow of weapons into a future Palestinian state would be unchecked. Missiles fired from it could reach virtually every home in Israel in less than a minute. I want you to think about that too. Imagine that right now we all had less than 60 seconds to find shelter from an incoming rocket. Would you live that way? Would anyone live that way? Well, we aren’t going to live that way either.
The truth is that Israel needs unique security arrangements because of its unique size. Israel is one of the smallest countries in the world. Mr. Vice President, I'll grant you this. It’s bigger than Delaware. It’s even bigger than Rhode Island. But that’s about it. Israel on the 1967 lines would be half the width of the Washington Beltway.Now here’s a bit of nostalgia. I first came to Washington thirty years ago as a young diplomat. It took me a while, but I finally figured it out: There is an America beyond the Beltway. But Israel on the 1967 lines would be only nine miles wide. So much for strategic depth.So it is therefore absolutely vital for Israel’s security that a Palestinian state be fully demilitarized. And it is vital that Israel maintain a long-term military presence along the Jordan River. Solid security arrangements on the ground are necessary not only to protect the peace, they are necessary to protect Israel in case the peace unravels. For in our unstable region, no one can guarantee that our peace partners today will be there tomorrow.And when I say tomorrow, I don't mean some distant time in the future. I mean -- tomorrow. Peace can be achieved only around the negotiating table. The Palestinian attempt to impose a settlement through the United Nations will not bring peace. It should be forcefully opposed by all those who want to see this conflict end.
I appreciate the President’s clear position on this issue. Peace cannot be imposed. It must be negotiated. But it can only be negotiated with partners committed to peace.And Hamas is not a partner for peace. Hamas remains committed to Israel's destruction and to terrorism. They have a charter. That charter not only calls for the obliteration of Israel, but says kill the Jews wherever you find them. Hamas’ leader condemned the killing of Osama bin Laden and praised him as a holy warrior. Now again I want to make this clear. Israel is prepared to sit down today and negotiate peace with the Palestinian Authority. I believe we can fashion a brilliant future of peace for our children. But Israel will not negotiate with a Palestinian government backed by the Palestinian version of Al Qaeda.So I say to President Abbas: Tear up your pact with Hamas! Sit down and negotiate! Make peace with the Jewish state! And if you do, I promise you this. Israel will not be the last country to welcome a Palestinian state as a new member of the United Nations. It will be the first to do so.My friends, the momentous trials of the last century, and the unfolding events of this century, attest to the decisive role of the United States in advancing peace and defending freedom. Providence entrusted the United States to be the guardian of liberty. All peoples who cherish freedom owe a profound debt of gratitude to your great nation. Among the most grateful nations is my nation, the people of Israel, who have fought for their liberty and survival against impossible odds, in ancient and modern times alike.I speak on behalf of the Jewish people and the Jewish state when I say to you, representatives of America, Thank you. Thank you for your unwavering support for Israel. Thank you for ensuring that the flame of freedom burns bright throughout the world. May God bless all of you. And may God forever bless the United States of America.

Speech by PM Netanyahu, AIPAC 2011
http://www.pmo.gov.il/PMOEng/Communication/PMSpeaks/speechaipac230511.htm
My friends, before I talk about things about Israel, I want to say something about the scenes on television that I saw today and you have been seeing as well. When tragedy strikes America, Israel -- Israel feels an immediate identification. And tragedy has struck America. In recent days floods and tornadoes have claimed the lives of hundreds of Americans, including today in Joplin, Missouri. All I can say is, America, we're with you on this day, on every day.And that's very evident from the things I just heard from my two close friends. Speaker of the House John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, you lead the many friends who are here today, the distinguished senators and congressmen and congresswomen of the United States of America.I want to greet AIPAC President Lee Rosenberg. Rosy, I learned the other day that if I take you on, it's not going to be in basketball. It will be in
soccer. And Executive Director Howard Kohr -- Howard, you I'm not going to take on in anything.I want to welcome here also the representatives of the government of Israel,members of Knesset, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Jim Cunningham,Ambassador-designate Dan Shapiro, my beloved wife and the mother of our two boys, Sara and finally, our terrific ambassador to the United States, a man who knows a few things about the U.S.-Israel alliance, Michael Oren.
To all our supporters in this great hall and to the millions of supporters across this great land, the people of Israel thank you. Thank you for your staunch commitment to Israel's security. Thank you for defending Israel's right to defend itself. Thank you for standing by Israel as it seeks a secure peace.Now, I heard tonight from all the speakers something that you know -- that Israel is America's indispensable ally. You understand that Israel and America stand shoulder to shoulder fighting common enemies, protecting common interests. You know that Israeli innovators help power computers,fight disease, conserve water, clean the planet. Your support for Israel flows from the heart.You see, it's not just what Israel does. It's what Israel is. Now, let me explain that. Yesterday I had a great day. They let me out. Sara and I could actually go for a walk. And I have to congratulate the American security services. They're a little more generous than ours.
So we walked along the Potomac and we got to visit Washington's majestic memorials. I read Jefferson's timeless words,We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.I read Lincoln's immortal address, government of the people, for the people, by the people.Now, let me tell you why these words resonate so powerfully with me and with all Israelis -- because they're rooted in ideas first championed by our people, the Jewish people, the idea that all men are created in God's image,that no ruler is above the law, that everyone is entitled to justice. These are revolutionary Jewish ideas, and they were spoken thousands of years ago - when vast empires ruled the earth, vast slave empires ruled the world.And the Jews spoke these truths.Israel is the cradle of our common civilization. It's the crucible of our common values. And the modern state of Israel was founded precisely on these eternal values. And this is why Israel's more than 1 million Muslims enjoy
full democratic rights. This is why the only place in the Middle East where Christians are completely free to practice their faith is the democratic state of Israel. And this is why Israel, and only Israel, can be trusted to ensure the freedom for all faiths in our eternal capital, the united city of Jerusalem.
My friends, Israel and America have drawn from these deep well springs of our common values. We forged an enduring friendship not merely between our governments, but between our peoples. Support for Israel doesn't divide America. It unites America. It unites the old and the young, liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans. And, yes, Joe Lieberman, it even unites independents. I want to take this opportunity to salute one of the great senators in my lifetime, a man who's given unbelievable service to his country, America, and has been unbelievably dedicated to Israel and the Jewish people. Thank you, Joe Lieberman.You see, this broad support for Israel in the United States is a tremendous help and gives tremendous strength to my country. And since Harry Truman,Israel has looked to American presidents to stand by it as we meet the unfolding challenges of a changing world.Yesterday President Obama spoke about his ironclad commitment to Israel's
security. He rightly said that our security cooperation is unprecedented. He
spoke of that commitment in front of AIPAC. He spoke about it in two speeches heard throughout the Arab world. And he has backed those words with deeds.I know these are tough economic times. So I want to thank the president and Congress for providing Israel with vital assistance so that Israel can defend itself by itself. I want to thank you all for supporting the Iron Dome missile defense system. A few weeks ago, Hamas terrorists in Gaza fired eight rockets at our cities, at Ashkelon and Beer Sheva. Now, these rockets never reached their targets. Iron Dome intercepted them in midair.For the first time, a missile defense system worked in combat. That's a
precedent in military history. And I want to say thank you, America.America and Israel are cooperating in many other ways as well. We're cooperating in science, in technology, in trade, in investment. See, it's not only American companies that are investing in Israel. It's Israeli companies investing in America. In the last decade, Israeli companies have invested more than $50 billion in the United States. One of those companies is investing just down the road in Richmond. It's a company that is building a food factory. Now, here's what it means -- more business, more
jobs, and, yes, more hummus.
Well, it's not just food we're bringing to America. Take medicine. Israel is advancing cure for multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, cancer. We've developed mechanical means to make paraplegics walk again. We've placed a tiny diagnostic camera inside a pill. I have not swallowed it, but I understand it's quite effective.
And you've just heard of this miraculous bandage developed by an Israeli company that has helped save Congresswoman Gabby Giffords' life. And I wish Gabby, a great friend of Israel, Refuah Shlema, a happy, quick, speedy recovery.Israel and America are also cooperating to end the world's worst addiction,the addiction to oil. This dependence fuels terrorism. It poisons the planet. So we've launched a 10-year program in Israel to kick the habit, to find a substitute for gasoline. And if we succeed, we can change the world.We can change history.My friends, the American people's support for Israel is reflected in my invitation to address a joint meeting of Congress tomorrow. Thank you, John Boehner, for that invitation. I will talk about the great convulsion taking place in the Middle East, the risks and the opportunities. And I will talk about the dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran. And I will also outline a vision for a secure Israeli-Palestinian peace. I intend to speak the unvarnished truth because now, more than ever, what we need is clarity.And events in our region are finally opening people's eyes to a simple truth. Events in the region are opening people's eyes to a simple truth:The problems of the region are not rooted in Israel. The remarkable scenes we're witnessing in town squares across the Middle East and North Africa are occurring for a simple reason: People want freedom. They want progress.They want a better life.For many of the peoples of the region, the 20th century skipped them by.And now 21st century technology is telling them what they missed out on.You remember that desperate food vendor in Tunis? Why did he set himself on fire? Not because of Israel. He set himself on fire because of decades of indignity, decades of intolerable corruption.
And the millions who poured into the streets of Tehran, Tunis, Cairo, Sanaa,
Benghazi, Damascus, they're not thinking about Israel. They're thinking of freedom. They're yearning for opportunity. They're yearning for hope for themselves and for their children. So it's time to stop blaming Israel for all the region's problems.
Let me stress one thing. Peace between Israelis and Palestinians is a vital interest for us. It would be the realization of a powerful and eternal dream. But it is not a panacea for the endemic problems of the Middle East.It will not give women in some Arab countries the right to drive a car. It will not prevent churches from being bombed. It will not keep journalists out of jail.What will change this? One word: Democracy - real, genuine democracy. And by democracy, I don't just mean elections. I mean freedom of speech,freedom of press, freedom of assembly, the rights for women, for gays, for minorities, for everyone. What the people of Israel want is for the people of the Middle East to have what you have in America, what we have in
Israel -- democracy. So it's time to recognize this basic truth. Israel is not what's wrong with the Middle East. Israel is what's right about the Middle East.My friends, we want peace because we know the pain of terror and we know the agony of war. We want peace because we know the blessings peace could bring - what it could bring to us and to our Palestinian neighbors. But if we hope to advance peace with the Palestinians, then it's time that we admitted another truth. This conflict has raged for nearly a century because the Palestinians refuse to end it. They refuse to accept the Jewish state.Now, this is what this conflict has always been about. There are many issues linked to this conflict that must be resolved between Israelis and
Palestinians. We can, we must, resolve them. But I repeat: We can only make peace with the Palestinians if they're prepared to make peace with the Jewish state.
Tomorrow in Congress, I'll describe what a peace between a Palestinian state and the Jewish state could look like. But I want to assure you of one thing. It must leave Israel with security. And therefore, Israel cannot return to the indefensible 1967 lines.I'll talk about these and other aspects of peace tomorrow in Congress. But
tonight I want to express Israel's gratitude for all you are doing to help strengthen Israel and the great alliance that Israel has with America. You helped maintain our qualitative military edge. You backed sanctions against Iran. You supported genuine peace. You opposed Hamas. And you've joined President Obama and me in denouncing Hamas and demanding that it release our captive soldier, Gilad Shalit. That's another outrageous crime of Hamas.Just imagine keeping a young soldier locked in a dark dungeon for five years without even a single visit - not a single visit of the Red Cross. I think that the entire civilized community should join Israel and the United States and all of us in a simple demand from Hamas: Release Gilad Shalit.
My friends, I spent my high-school years in Philadelphia. I understand it's
developed quite a bit since then. But during those years, when it was a sleepier town, I used to go visit the Liberty Bell. Now, as Prime Minister of Israel, I can walk down the street and see an exact replica of that bell in Jerusalem's Liberty Park. On both bells is the same inscription. It comes from the Bible, from the book of Leviticus Proclaim liberty throughout the land.My dear friends, this is the essence of the great alliance between our two nations - two peoples bonded in liberty and seeking freedom and peace for all. That's what this alliance is all about. And you are part of it. You maintain it.
I thank you on behalf of the people of Israel and the government of Israel.
Thank you for the American-Israel alliance. Thank you, AIPAC.
I am deeply honored by your warm welcome. And I am deeply honored that you have given me the opportunity to address Congress a second time.Mr. Vice President, do you remember the time we were the new kids in town? And I do see a lot of old friends here. And I do see a lot of new friends of Israel here. Democrats and Republicans alike.Israel has no better friend than America. And America has no better friend than Israel. We stand together to defend democracy. We stand together to advance peace. We stand together to fight terrorism. Congratulations America, Congratulations, Mr. President. You got bin Laden. Good riddance! In an unstable Middle East, Israel is the one anchor of stability. In a region of shifting alliances, Israel is America’s unwavering ally. Israel has always been pro-American. Israel will always be pro-American.My friends, you don’t need to do nation building in Israel. We’re already built. You don’t need to export democracy to Israel. We’ve already got it. You don’t need to send American troops to defend Israel. We defend ourselves. You’ve been very generous in giving us tools to do the job of defending Israel on our own. Thank you all, and thank you President Obama, for your steadfast commitment to Israel’s security. I know economic times are tough. I deeply appreciate this.
Support for Israel’s security is a wise investment in our common future. For an epic battle is now unfolding in the Middle East, between tyranny and freedom. A great convulsion is shaking the earth from the Khyber Pass to the Straits of Gibraltar. The tremors have shattered states and toppled governments. And we can all see that the ground is still shifting. Now this historic moment holds the promise of a new dawn of freedom and opportunity. Millions of young people are determined to change their future. We all look at them. They muster courage. They risk their lives. They demand dignity. They desire liberty.These extraordinary scenes in Tunis and Cairo, evoke those of Berlin and Prague in 1989. Yet as we share their hopes, but we also must also remember that those hopes could be snuffed out as they were in Tehran in 1979. You remember what happened then. The brief democratic spring in Iran was cut short by a ferocious and unforgiving tyranny. This same tyranny smothered Lebanon’s democratic Cedar Revolution, and inflicted on that long-suffering country, the medieval rule of Hezbollah.So today, the Middle East stands at a fateful crossroads. Like all of you, I pray that the peoples of the region choose the path less travelled, the path of liberty. No one knows what this path consists of better than you. This path is not paved by elections alone. It is paved when governments permit protests in town squares, when limits are placed on the powers of rulers, when judges are beholden to laws and not men, and when human rights cannot be crushed by tribal loyalties or mob rule.Israel has always embraced this path, in the Middle East has long rejected it. In a region where women are stoned, gays are hanged, Christians are persecuted, Israel stands out. It is different.As the great English writer George Eliot predicted over a century ago, that once established, the Jewish state will "shine like a bright star of freedom amid the despotisms of the East.” Well, she was right. We have a free press, independent courts, an open economy, rambunctious parliamentary debates. You think you guys are tough on one another in Congress? Come spend a day in the Knesset. Be my guest.
Courageous Arab protesters, are now struggling to secure these very same rights for their peoples, for their societies. We're proud that over one million Arab citizens of Israel have been enjoying these rights for decades. Of the 300 million Arabs in the Middle East and North Africa, only Israel’s Arab citizens enjoy real democratic rights. I want you to stop for a second and think about that. Of those 300 million Arabs, less than one-half of one-percent are truly free, and they're all citizens of Israel! This startling fact reveals a basic truth: Israel is not what is wrong about the Middle East. Israel is what is right about the Middle East.Israel fully supports the desire of Arab peoples in our region to live freely. We long for the day when Israel will be one of many real democracies in the Middle East.Fifteen years ago, I stood at this very podium, and said that democracy must start to take root in the Arab World. Well, it's begun to take root. This beginning holds the promise of a brilliant future of peace and prosperity. For I believe that a Middle East that is genuinely democratic will be a Middle East truly at peace.But while we hope and work for the best, we must also recognize that powerful forces oppose this future. They oppose modernity. They oppose democracy. They oppose peace.Foremost among these forces is Iran. The tyranny in Tehran brutalizes its own people. It supports attacks against American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. It subjugates Lebanon and Gaza. It sponsors terror worldwide.When I last stood here, I spoke of the dire consequences of Iran developing nuclear weapons. Now time is running out, and the hinge of history may soon turn. For the greatest danger facing humanity could soon be upon us: A militant Islamic regime armed with nuclear weapons.Militant Islam threatens the world. It threatens Islam. I have no doubt that it will ultimately be defeated. It will eventually succumb to the forces of freedom and progress. But like other fanaticisms that were doomed to fail, militant Islam could exact a horrific price from all of us before its inevitable demise.
A nuclear-armed Iran would ignite a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. It would give terrorists a nuclear umbrella. It would make the nightmare of nuclear terrorism a clear and present danger throughout the world. I want you to understand what this means. They could put the bomb anywhere. They could put it on a missile. It could be on a container ship in a port, or in a suitcase on a subway.Now the threat to my country cannot be overstated. Those who dismiss it are sticking their heads in the sand. Less than seven decades after six million Jews were murdered, Iran's leaders deny the Holocaust of the Jewish people, while calling for the annihilation of the Jewish state.Leaders who spew such venom, should be banned from every respectable forum on the planet. But there is something that makes the outrage even greater: The lack of outrage. In much of the international community, the calls for our destruction are met with utter silence. It is even worse because there are many who rush to condemn Israel for defending itself against Iran’s terror proxies.But not you. Not America. You have acted differently. You've condemned the Iranian regime for its genocidal aims. You’ve passed tough sanctions against Iran. History will salute you America.President Obama has said that the United States is determined to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. He successfully led the Security Council to adopt sanctions against Iran. You in Congress passed even tougher sanctions. These words and deeds are vitally important.Yet the Ayatollah regime briefly suspended its nuclear program only once, in 2003, when it feared the possibility of military action. That same year, Muammar Qadaffi gave up his nuclear weapons program, and for the same reason. The more Iran believes that all options are on the table, the less the chance of confrontation. This is why I ask you to continue to send an unequivocal message: That America will never permit Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
As for Israel, if history has taught the Jewish people anything, it is that we must take calls for our destruction seriously. We are a nation that rose from the ashes of the Holocaust. When we say never again, we mean never again. Israel always reserves the right to defend itself.My friends, while Israel will be ever vigilant in its defense, we will never give up on our quest for peace. I guess we’ll give it up when we achieve it. Israel wants peace. Israel needs peace. We've achieved historic peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan that have held up for decades.I remember what it was like before we had peace. I was nearly killed in a firefight inside the Suez Canal. I mean that literally. I battled terrorists along both banks of the Jordan River. Too many Israelis have lost loved ones. I know their grief. I lost my brother.So no one in Israel wants a return to those terrible days. The peace with Egypt and Jordan has long served as an anchor of stability and peace in the heart of the Middle East.This peace should be bolstered by economic and political support to all those who remain committed to peace.The peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan are vital. But they're not enough. We must also find a way to forge a lasting peace with the Palestinians. Two years ago, I publicly committed to a solution of two states for two peoples: A Palestinian state alongside the Jewish state.I am willing to make painful compromises to achieve this historic peace. As the leader of Israel, it is my responsibility to lead my people to peace.This is not easy for me. I recognize that in a genuine peace, we will be required to give up parts of the Jewish homeland. In Judea and Samaria, the Jewish people are not foreign occupiers. We are not the British in India. We are not the Belgians in the Congo.
This is the land of our forefathers, the Land of Israel, to which Abraham brought the idea of one God, where David set out to confront Goliath, and where Isaiah saw a vision of eternal peace. No distortion of history can deny the four thousand year old bond, between the Jewish people and the Jewish land.But there is another truth: The Palestinians share this small land with us. We seek a peace in which they will be neither Israel’s subjects nor its citizens. They should enjoy a national life of dignity as a free, viable and independent people in their own state. They should enjoy a prosperous economy, where their creativity and initiative can flourish.We've already seen the beginnings of what is possible. In the last two years,
the Palestinians have begun to build a better life for themselves. Prime Minister Fayad has led this effort. I wish him a speedy recovery from his recent operation.
We've helped the Palestinian economy by removing hundreds of barriers and roadblocks to the free flow of goods and people. The results have been nothing short of remarkable. The Palestinian economy is booming. It's growing by more than 10% a year.
Palestinian cities look very different today than they did just a few years ago. They have shopping malls, movie theaters, restaurants, banks. They even have e-businesses. This is all happening without peace. Imagine what could happen with peace. Peace would herald a new day for both peoples. It would make the dream of a broader Arab-Israeli peace a realistic possibility.
So now here is the question. You have to ask it. If the benefits of peace with the Palestinians are so clear, why has peace eluded us? Because all six Israeli Prime Ministers since the signing of Oslo accords agreed to establish a Palestinian state. Myself included. So why has peace not been achieved? Because so far, the Palestinians have been unwilling to accept a Palestinian state, if it meant accepting a Jewish state alongside it.You see, our conflict has never been about the establishment of a Palestinian state. It has always been about the existence of the Jewish state. This is what this conflict is about. In 1947, the United Nations voted to partition the land into a Jewish state and an Arab state. The Jews said yes. The Palestinians said no. In recent years, the Palestinians twice refused generous offers by Israeli Prime Ministers, to establish a Palestinian state on virtually all the territory won by Israel in the Six Day War.They were simply unwilling to end the conflict. And I regret to say this: They continue to educate their children to hate. They continue to name public squares after terrorists. And worst of all, they continue to perpetuate the fantasy that Israel will one day be flooded by the descendants of Palestinian refugees.My friends, this must come to an end. President Abbas must do what I have done. I stood before my people, and I told you it wasn’t easy for me, and I said… I will accept a Palestinian state. It is time for President Abbas to stand before his people and say…I will accept a Jewish state.Those six words will change history. They will make clear to the Palestinians that this conflict must come to an end. That they are not building a state to continue the conflict with Israel, but to end it. They will convince the people of Israel that they have a true partner for peace. With such a partner, the people of Israel will be prepared to make a far reaching compromise. I will be prepared to make a far reaching compromise.
This compromise must reflect the dramatic demographic changes that have occurred since 1967. The vast majority of the 650,000 Israelis who live beyond the 1967 lines, reside in neighborhoods and suburbs of Jerusalem and Greater Tel Aviv.These areas are densely populated but geographically quite small. Under any realistic peace agreement, these areas, as well as other places of critical strategic and national importance, will be incorporated into the final borders of Israel.The status of the settlements will be decided only in negotiations. But we must also be honest. So I am saying today something that should be said publicly by anyone serious about peace. In any peace agreement that ends the conflict, some settlements will end up beyond Israel’s borders. The precise delineation of those borders must be negotiated. We will be very generous on the size of a future Palestinian state. But as President Obama said, the border will be different than the one that existed on June 4, 1967. Israel will not return to the indefensible lines of 1967.We recognize that a Palestinian state must be big enough to be viable, independent and prosperous. President Obama rightly referred to Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people, just as he referred to the future Palestinian state as the homeland of the Palestinian people. Jews from around the world have a right to immigrate to the Jewish state. Palestinians from around the world should have a right to immigrate, if they so choose, to a Palestinian state. This means that the Palestinian refugee problem will be resolved outside the borders of Israel.
As for Jerusalem, only a democratic Israel has protected freedom of worship for all faiths in the city. Jerusalem must never again be divided. Jerusalem must remain the united capital of Israel. I know that this is a difficult issue for Palestinians. But I believe with creativity and goodwill a solution can be found.This is the peace I plan to forge with a Palestinian partner committed to peace. But you know very well, that in the Middle East, the only peace that will hold is a peace you can defend.So peace must be anchored in security. In recent years, Israel withdrew from South Lebanon and Gaza. But we didn't get peace. Instead, we got 12,000 thousand rockets fired from those areas on our cities, on our children, by Hezbollah and Hamas. The UN peacekeepers in Lebanon failed to prevent the smuggling of this weaponry. The European observers in Gaza evaporated overnight. So if Israel simply walked out of the territories, the flow of weapons into a future Palestinian state would be unchecked. Missiles fired from it could reach virtually every home in Israel in less than a minute. I want you to think about that too. Imagine that right now we all had less than 60 seconds to find shelter from an incoming rocket. Would you live that way? Would anyone live that way? Well, we aren’t going to live that way either.
The truth is that Israel needs unique security arrangements because of its unique size. Israel is one of the smallest countries in the world. Mr. Vice President, I'll grant you this. It’s bigger than Delaware. It’s even bigger than Rhode Island. But that’s about it. Israel on the 1967 lines would be half the width of the Washington Beltway.Now here’s a bit of nostalgia. I first came to Washington thirty years ago as a young diplomat. It took me a while, but I finally figured it out: There is an America beyond the Beltway. But Israel on the 1967 lines would be only nine miles wide. So much for strategic depth.So it is therefore absolutely vital for Israel’s security that a Palestinian state be fully demilitarized. And it is vital that Israel maintain a long-term military presence along the Jordan River. Solid security arrangements on the ground are necessary not only to protect the peace, they are necessary to protect Israel in case the peace unravels. For in our unstable region, no one can guarantee that our peace partners today will be there tomorrow.And when I say tomorrow, I don't mean some distant time in the future. I mean -- tomorrow. Peace can be achieved only around the negotiating table. The Palestinian attempt to impose a settlement through the United Nations will not bring peace. It should be forcefully opposed by all those who want to see this conflict end.
I appreciate the President’s clear position on this issue. Peace cannot be imposed. It must be negotiated. But it can only be negotiated with partners committed to peace.And Hamas is not a partner for peace. Hamas remains committed to Israel's destruction and to terrorism. They have a charter. That charter not only calls for the obliteration of Israel, but says kill the Jews wherever you find them. Hamas’ leader condemned the killing of Osama bin Laden and praised him as a holy warrior. Now again I want to make this clear. Israel is prepared to sit down today and negotiate peace with the Palestinian Authority. I believe we can fashion a brilliant future of peace for our children. But Israel will not negotiate with a Palestinian government backed by the Palestinian version of Al Qaeda.So I say to President Abbas: Tear up your pact with Hamas! Sit down and negotiate! Make peace with the Jewish state! And if you do, I promise you this. Israel will not be the last country to welcome a Palestinian state as a new member of the United Nations. It will be the first to do so.My friends, the momentous trials of the last century, and the unfolding events of this century, attest to the decisive role of the United States in advancing peace and defending freedom. Providence entrusted the United States to be the guardian of liberty. All peoples who cherish freedom owe a profound debt of gratitude to your great nation. Among the most grateful nations is my nation, the people of Israel, who have fought for their liberty and survival against impossible odds, in ancient and modern times alike.I speak on behalf of the Jewish people and the Jewish state when I say to you, representatives of America, Thank you. Thank you for your unwavering support for Israel. Thank you for ensuring that the flame of freedom burns bright throughout the world. May God bless all of you. And may God forever bless the United States of America.

Speech by PM Netanyahu, AIPAC 2011
http://www.pmo.gov.il/PMOEng/Communication/PMSpeaks/speechaipac230511.htm
My friends, before I talk about things about Israel, I want to say something about the scenes on television that I saw today and you have been seeing as well. When tragedy strikes America, Israel -- Israel feels an immediate identification. And tragedy has struck America. In recent days floods and tornadoes have claimed the lives of hundreds of Americans, including today in Joplin, Missouri. All I can say is, America, we're with you on this day, on every day.And that's very evident from the things I just heard from my two close friends. Speaker of the House John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, you lead the many friends who are here today, the distinguished senators and congressmen and congresswomen of the United States of America.I want to greet AIPAC President Lee Rosenberg. Rosy, I learned the other day that if I take you on, it's not going to be in basketball. It will be in
soccer. And Executive Director Howard Kohr -- Howard, you I'm not going to take on in anything.I want to welcome here also the representatives of the government of Israel,members of Knesset, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Jim Cunningham,Ambassador-designate Dan Shapiro, my beloved wife and the mother of our two boys, Sara and finally, our terrific ambassador to the United States, a man who knows a few things about the U.S.-Israel alliance, Michael Oren.
To all our supporters in this great hall and to the millions of supporters across this great land, the people of Israel thank you. Thank you for your staunch commitment to Israel's security. Thank you for defending Israel's right to defend itself. Thank you for standing by Israel as it seeks a secure peace.Now, I heard tonight from all the speakers something that you know -- that Israel is America's indispensable ally. You understand that Israel and America stand shoulder to shoulder fighting common enemies, protecting common interests. You know that Israeli innovators help power computers,fight disease, conserve water, clean the planet. Your support for Israel flows from the heart.You see, it's not just what Israel does. It's what Israel is. Now, let me explain that. Yesterday I had a great day. They let me out. Sara and I could actually go for a walk. And I have to congratulate the American security services. They're a little more generous than ours.
So we walked along the Potomac and we got to visit Washington's majestic memorials. I read Jefferson's timeless words,We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.I read Lincoln's immortal address, government of the people, for the people, by the people.Now, let me tell you why these words resonate so powerfully with me and with all Israelis -- because they're rooted in ideas first championed by our people, the Jewish people, the idea that all men are created in God's image,that no ruler is above the law, that everyone is entitled to justice. These are revolutionary Jewish ideas, and they were spoken thousands of years ago - when vast empires ruled the earth, vast slave empires ruled the world.And the Jews spoke these truths.Israel is the cradle of our common civilization. It's the crucible of our common values. And the modern state of Israel was founded precisely on these eternal values. And this is why Israel's more than 1 million Muslims enjoy
full democratic rights. This is why the only place in the Middle East where Christians are completely free to practice their faith is the democratic state of Israel. And this is why Israel, and only Israel, can be trusted to ensure the freedom for all faiths in our eternal capital, the united city of Jerusalem.
My friends, Israel and America have drawn from these deep well springs of our common values. We forged an enduring friendship not merely between our governments, but between our peoples. Support for Israel doesn't divide America. It unites America. It unites the old and the young, liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans. And, yes, Joe Lieberman, it even unites independents. I want to take this opportunity to salute one of the great senators in my lifetime, a man who's given unbelievable service to his country, America, and has been unbelievably dedicated to Israel and the Jewish people. Thank you, Joe Lieberman.You see, this broad support for Israel in the United States is a tremendous help and gives tremendous strength to my country. And since Harry Truman,Israel has looked to American presidents to stand by it as we meet the unfolding challenges of a changing world.Yesterday President Obama spoke about his ironclad commitment to Israel's
security. He rightly said that our security cooperation is unprecedented. He
spoke of that commitment in front of AIPAC. He spoke about it in two speeches heard throughout the Arab world. And he has backed those words with deeds.I know these are tough economic times. So I want to thank the president and Congress for providing Israel with vital assistance so that Israel can defend itself by itself. I want to thank you all for supporting the Iron Dome missile defense system. A few weeks ago, Hamas terrorists in Gaza fired eight rockets at our cities, at Ashkelon and Beer Sheva. Now, these rockets never reached their targets. Iron Dome intercepted them in midair.For the first time, a missile defense system worked in combat. That's a
precedent in military history. And I want to say thank you, America.America and Israel are cooperating in many other ways as well. We're cooperating in science, in technology, in trade, in investment. See, it's not only American companies that are investing in Israel. It's Israeli companies investing in America. In the last decade, Israeli companies have invested more than $50 billion in the United States. One of those companies is investing just down the road in Richmond. It's a company that is building a food factory. Now, here's what it means -- more business, more
jobs, and, yes, more hummus.
Well, it's not just food we're bringing to America. Take medicine. Israel is advancing cure for multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, cancer. We've developed mechanical means to make paraplegics walk again. We've placed a tiny diagnostic camera inside a pill. I have not swallowed it, but I understand it's quite effective.
And you've just heard of this miraculous bandage developed by an Israeli company that has helped save Congresswoman Gabby Giffords' life. And I wish Gabby, a great friend of Israel, Refuah Shlema, a happy, quick, speedy recovery.Israel and America are also cooperating to end the world's worst addiction,the addiction to oil. This dependence fuels terrorism. It poisons the planet. So we've launched a 10-year program in Israel to kick the habit, to find a substitute for gasoline. And if we succeed, we can change the world.We can change history.My friends, the American people's support for Israel is reflected in my invitation to address a joint meeting of Congress tomorrow. Thank you, John Boehner, for that invitation. I will talk about the great convulsion taking place in the Middle East, the risks and the opportunities. And I will talk about the dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran. And I will also outline a vision for a secure Israeli-Palestinian peace. I intend to speak the unvarnished truth because now, more than ever, what we need is clarity.And events in our region are finally opening people's eyes to a simple truth. Events in the region are opening people's eyes to a simple truth:The problems of the region are not rooted in Israel. The remarkable scenes we're witnessing in town squares across the Middle East and North Africa are occurring for a simple reason: People want freedom. They want progress.They want a better life.For many of the peoples of the region, the 20th century skipped them by.And now 21st century technology is telling them what they missed out on.You remember that desperate food vendor in Tunis? Why did he set himself on fire? Not because of Israel. He set himself on fire because of decades of indignity, decades of intolerable corruption.
And the millions who poured into the streets of Tehran, Tunis, Cairo, Sanaa,
Benghazi, Damascus, they're not thinking about Israel. They're thinking of freedom. They're yearning for opportunity. They're yearning for hope for themselves and for their children. So it's time to stop blaming Israel for all the region's problems.
Let me stress one thing. Peace between Israelis and Palestinians is a vital interest for us. It would be the realization of a powerful and eternal dream. But it is not a panacea for the endemic problems of the Middle East.It will not give women in some Arab countries the right to drive a car. It will not prevent churches from being bombed. It will not keep journalists out of jail.What will change this? One word: Democracy - real, genuine democracy. And by democracy, I don't just mean elections. I mean freedom of speech,freedom of press, freedom of assembly, the rights for women, for gays, for minorities, for everyone. What the people of Israel want is for the people of the Middle East to have what you have in America, what we have in
Israel -- democracy. So it's time to recognize this basic truth. Israel is not what's wrong with the Middle East. Israel is what's right about the Middle East.My friends, we want peace because we know the pain of terror and we know the agony of war. We want peace because we know the blessings peace could bring - what it could bring to us and to our Palestinian neighbors. But if we hope to advance peace with the Palestinians, then it's time that we admitted another truth. This conflict has raged for nearly a century because the Palestinians refuse to end it. They refuse to accept the Jewish state.Now, this is what this conflict has always been about. There are many issues linked to this conflict that must be resolved between Israelis and
Palestinians. We can, we must, resolve them. But I repeat: We can only make peace with the Palestinians if they're prepared to make peace with the Jewish state.
Tomorrow in Congress, I'll describe what a peace between a Palestinian state and the Jewish state could look like. But I want to assure you of one thing. It must leave Israel with security. And therefore, Israel cannot return to the indefensible 1967 lines.I'll talk about these and other aspects of peace tomorrow in Congress. But
tonight I want to express Israel's gratitude for all you are doing to help strengthen Israel and the great alliance that Israel has with America. You helped maintain our qualitative military edge. You backed sanctions against Iran. You supported genuine peace. You opposed Hamas. And you've joined President Obama and me in denouncing Hamas and demanding that it release our captive soldier, Gilad Shalit. That's another outrageous crime of Hamas.Just imagine keeping a young soldier locked in a dark dungeon for five years without even a single visit - not a single visit of the Red Cross. I think that the entire civilized community should join Israel and the United States and all of us in a simple demand from Hamas: Release Gilad Shalit.
My friends, I spent my high-school years in Philadelphia. I understand it's
developed quite a bit since then. But during those years, when it was a sleepier town, I used to go visit the Liberty Bell. Now, as Prime Minister of Israel, I can walk down the street and see an exact replica of that bell in Jerusalem's Liberty Park. On both bells is the same inscription. It comes from the Bible, from the book of Leviticus Proclaim liberty throughout the land.My dear friends, this is the essence of the great alliance between our two nations - two peoples bonded in liberty and seeking freedom and peace for all. That's what this alliance is all about. And you are part of it. You maintain it.
I thank you on behalf of the people of Israel and the government of Israel.
Thank you for the American-Israel alliance. Thank you, AIPAC.

False flag-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.False flag operations are covert operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and can be used in peace-time.(NOTICE EVERY TIME THERES A REAL TERRORIST ATTACK,THE GOVERNMENT ALWAYS IS DOING A FAKE DRILL WHICH MEANS THEY CAN SAY IT WAS ONLY A DRILL IF THE ATTACK DOES NOT GO OVER WITH THE PUBLIC OR IF THE GOVERNMENT MUFFED UP THEIR OWN FALSE FLAG CONTROL FREAK,GET MORE CONTROL OF PEOPLES RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.)

Simulation a success-FANSHAWE COLLEGE: Students and emergency workers respond to fake gun attack By HANK DANISZEWSKI, The London Free Press Updated: May 20, 2011 6:09pm
Paramedics treat Fanshawe theatre arts students who are playing the role of victims of a mass shooting at the campus Friday. The exercise was designed to train students and emergency personnel to respond to an emergency situation. (HANK DANISZEWSKI, The London Free Press )Paramedics treat Fanshawe theatre arts students who are playing the role of victims of a mass shooting at the campus Friday. The exercise was designed to train students and emergency personnel to respond to an emergency situation. (HANK DANISZEWSKI, The London Free Press )
A Fanshawe College residence was a scene of bloody carnage on Friday morning with bullet-riddled corpses strewn in the corridors and dozens of injured being carried away.It was all fake -- a very realistic exercise designed to train students and emergency workers to handle a real tragedy.Exercise Peregrine, named for the residence where it takes place, involved a hypothetical scenario where a gunman walks in and starts firing at students -- a scenario similar to the Virginia Tech or Ecole Polytechnique tragedies.The situation was made as real as possible with bloody makeup, shell casings, fake shattered glass and the smell of gunpowder.A gym was turned into a makeshift triage centre and a security perimeter was set up around the campus.Steven Clemens, Fanshawe's emergency management supervisor said the simulation is a test of the college's emergency and lockdown procedures but also gives students in the paramedic and nursing program a realistic training scenario.
They have already been on the street and we want to take them to the next level. They want realism to the max,said Clemens.Clemens said the realism was thanks to the expertise of Dugg Steary co-coordinator of Fanshawe's advanced care paramedic program who also operates a business staging simulations of emergency events across North America.Clemens said the training extended into other programs with theatre arts students playing the role of the dead and injured victims, media students recording the event and business administrating students handling the registration of the hundreds of people involved.Lane Trotter, Fanshawe's academic vice-president, said the simulation was a good lesson for all students and staff.It's a scenario we hope will never happen, but we have to have a plan,he said.E-mail hank.daniszewski@sunmedia.ca, or follow HankatLFPress on Twitter.
Comment
Melissa: A school shooting could happen. Or there could be a fire. Or someone could get hit by a car. Or an asteroid could hit the school.There are a million bad things that could happen. There has to be some effort to rationally prioritize. School shootings are both exceedingly rare and very difficult to safeguard against. This ought to make them an extremely low priority for safety efforts.Unfortunately, humans are extremely poor at understanding probability. We tend to judge perceived risks based on factors like how subjectively dramatic they seem, or whether they seem to be out of our control. Hence we worry far too much about events like school shootings.Evan Harper, May 20th 2011, 6:57pm

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)

11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Putin decides to retake presidency Mark Franchetti From: The Sunday Times May 23, 2011 12:00AM
RUSSIAN Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has decided to run for the presidency next year, raising the possibility of a power struggle with his protege Dmitry Medvedev, the incumbent Kremlin leader, say highly placed sources.The once-close relationship between Mr Putin, the tough-talking former KGB officer who has inspired a personality cult, and Mr Medvedev, a softly spoken Twitter enthusiast, has become increasingly fractious amid speculation in Moscow that the younger man wishes to stand again.Insiders familiar with both leaders said Mr Putin, who served eight years as president before becoming Prime Minister three years ago, had begun to lose confidence in Mr Medvedev's loyalty.Under the constitution, Mr Putin's move to reclaim the presidency could see him rule for two consecutive six-year terms until 2024, when he will be 72. If so, he would have served as prime minister or president for 24 years in all.
The sources said recent criticism by Mr Medvedev had made Mr Putin suspicious. Putin will run for president. He's made up his mind for good. Rumours that he's still weighing his options are false, said one source.There's mounting tension between Medvedev and Putin. The view in Putin's camp is that Medvedev has started behaving with too much arrogance and wants to challenge him. Putin is starting to doubt his loyalty.The Russian constitution allows the president to serve no more than two consecutive terms. Mr Putin stepped down in 2008 and handed the reins to Medvedev on the tacit understanding that he could come back next year if he wished.At first Mr Medvedev was regarded as a puppet. He even took to imitating Mr Putin's distinctive macho stride and speaking style. But three years later, Mr Medvedev, who at 45 is still Russia's youngest leader in more than seven decades, is understood to be reluctant to step aside for Mr Putin.The President is said to be frustrated at the perception, both at home and abroad, that he is a lame duck. A second term would give him the power to pursue a more liberal agenda of greater political freedom and sweeping judicial reforms, in contrast to that of Mr Putin, who is viewed as authoritarian.Both Putin and Medvedev see themselves as the next Russian president, said another Kremlin source.Given that the former brought the latter to power, that's a problem.
It's the classic tale of the pupil trying to overtake his master. Putin's camp thinks Medvedev is getting too cocky while the President and his people say it's time for the old man to retire.In a comment seen as a veiled attack on Mr Putin, Mr Medvedev said last week:A person who thinks he can stay in power indefinitely is a danger to society.Russian history shows that monopolising power leads to stagnation or civil war.In the past, Mr Medvedev, a Led Zeppelin fan and iPad devotee who speaks fluent English, has been careful to avoid open criticism of Mr Putin but they have clashed recently.Make no mistake, Medvedev is an impressive leader who would be good news for Russia if he stays on, said a Kremlin source.There's rivalry with Putin but they're both too smart to get drawn into a nasty personal conflict.The difference is simple: Putin can ask Medvedev to step aside. No matter how reluctantly, he'll oblige. But Medvedev can't stop Putin from coming back. And Putin wants to be president again.

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
Russia warns of new Cold War over missile defence
From: NewsCore May 19, 2011 8:24AM THE AUSTRALIAN
RUSSIAN President Dmitry Medvedev yesterday warned of a new Cold War era if Russia and the West fail to agree on missile defence, in the first major news conference of his presidency.Despite the startling warning to the United States and Europe, Medvedev confounded expectations he would use the event to finally announce if he intends to seek a new Kremlin mandate in 2012 elections.Russia is increasingly worried about US plans to build missile defence facilities in ex-Communist eastern Europe and is also offended that NATO appears to have shunned its proposals for a joint missile defence shield.Medvedev told reporters that the US decision to push ahead with construction of the missile defence system despite Russia's objections will force Moscow to take retaliatory measures - something that we would very much rather not do.We would then be talking about developing the offensive potential of our nuclear capabilities,Medvedev warned.The Russian leader also reiterated an earlier threat to pull out of the new START disarmament agreement that entered into force this year if the missile shield is deployed and operated without the Kremlin's input.This would be a very bad scenario. It would be a scenario that throws us back into the Cold War era.
The United States insisted it viewed Russia as a partner on security issues rather than a threat. We have been consistent and clear for many years now that our missile defence cooperation in no way is directed at Russia, State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters.And in fact we want to cooperate on missile defence with Russia and we have been quite clear on that, Toner added.Moscow has been fighting NATO plans to deploy a system the West sees as a means of protection from nations such as Iran but Russia believes could potentially be deployed against its own defences.
Medvedev on yesterday demanded a legally-binding assurance from the United States that this will never happen - a safeguard that Moscow says Washington is refusing to give.NATO has thus far invited Russia to voice its concerns in formal meetings but refused to provide Moscow with a formal role in the shield's operation that it seeks.
We would like to see missile defence develop under clear rules, Medvedev said in the first broad-ranging press conference of his three-year presidency.The news conference, at a technology hub on the outskirts of Moscow, was broadcast live on Russian state television. Medvedev stood, US presidential style, alone at a lectern against the backdrop of the Russian flag.Hundreds of reporters attended the news conference, which was a major event for Medvedev who so far has only spoken to the press alongside foreign leaders or in small scale briefings.Seeking to show his confidence, Medvedev chose each question apparently at random from journalists in the audience, many of whom concentrated on local issues.But despite intense speculation that he wants to stand for a new presidential term instead of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Medvedev refused to say if he intended to seek a new mandate in 2012.This kind of decision has to be made when all the conditions are right, when it has the final political effect,Medvedev said.

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

Tornado Devastates Joplin; More Severe Weather Today
By Brian Edwards, Meteorologist May 23, 2011; 10:58 AM ET
Joplin gets hit again by high winds and hail. Another round of tornadoes possible Tuesday...Dozens are dead and even more injured after nearly 50 tornadoes tore though parts of the Midwest on Sunday.At least 89 people were killed in Joplin, Mo., which received the worst of the severe weather.If the death toll in Joplin exceeds 115, it will be in the top 10 deadliest tornadoes in all time, none of which have occurred since 1953 according to the Storm Prediction Center.
More Severe Weather Expected Today
The area will have little time to clean up as another round of severe weather is expected again today.A complex of severe thunderstorms tracked across Joplin and southwestern Missouri this morning producing gusty winds and hail.Hail, 1 inch in diameter, was reported in the vicinity of Joplin Municipal Airport along with wind gusts to 36 mph.Additional thunderstorms will develop this afternoon across the southern Plains, potentially affecting the Joplin area again.Torrential downpours and frequent lightning associated with these thunderstorms will interfere with cleanup efforts. Localized flash flooding is likely as the ground is already saturated due to above-normal rainfall the last two months.High winds could cause additional damage and may topple cranes which are in the city helping with the cleanup.Damage was widespread across the city as homes, schools and a hospital were hit by a massive tornado.According to AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert, x-ray films from the hospital were found 70 miles away in a driveway.
Meanwhile, school has already been canceled on Monday as one of the Joplin School District's buildings had received catastrophic damage.Many of the dead were residents looking to seek shelter when the buildings they were in collapsed.The tornado traveled 6 miles from the west side of the city to the southeast portion. The southern edge of the city was the hardest hit. The tornado ranged from half a mile to three-quarters of a mile in width. While the exact strength of the storm is yet to be determined, it could be upwards of an EF4.According to Kathy Dennis of the American Red Cross,75% of the town is virtually gone.Scenes from the city look much like those of the tornadoes that claimed more than 300 lives in the Southeast last month.Throughout the city, roads are littered with downed trees and buildings, making them nearly impassable. Interstate 44 also had significant damage as 20 cars and tractor-trailers were overturned.According to the Associated Press, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard, while emergency crews were conducting search and rescue operations.The number of dead is expected to rise as the crews sort through the rubble.These storms are part of a larger system that triggered severe weather that killed one person in Kansas on Saturday night and caused damage from Minnesota to Texas on Sunday.At least one person was killed and 29 injured in storms that hit Minneapolis, Minn. Meanwhile, La Crosse, Wis., was also hit hard as winds tore roofs off homes and trapped residents inside.

3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
Iceland ash threatens Europe Agnes Valdimarsdottir
May 24, 2011 - 3:29AM icelandair.ca/Iceland-flights
A plume of ash from an erupting volcano in Iceland is forecast to reach Britain Monday before billowing across mainland Europe, experts said, triggering warnings of air travel disruptions.The eruption of Grimsvoetn has evoked fears of a repeat of last year's travel chaos sparked by the eruption of another Icelandic volcano which led to the biggest shutdown of European airspace since World War II.The low-level winds are ... blowing strongly towards the UK, said Peitur Arason of the Icelandic Meteorological Office, while its British counterpart warned ash could reach Scottish airspace as early as 1700 GMT Monday.Disruptions to aviation couldn't be ruled out", Britain's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said in a statement -- possibly upsetting the travel plans of US President Barack Obama.Obama is set fly from Ireland to London on Tuesday as part of a six-day European tour of four countries. After his state visit to Britain he is due to fly to France on Thursday.While lower-level winds are closer to the ground and thus will probably not manage to carry the ash as far afield, Arason said they would still affect air travel.Two days into its most powerful eruption in over a century, monitors said ash particles from the Grimsvoetn volcano had been scattered across much of Iceland, forcing the country to close its airspace Sunday.But as winds shifted and began pushing the ash to the south, the North Atlantic island nation began gradually reopening its airspace Monday afternoon and said flights would resume at its main international airport Keflavik, near the capital Reykjavik, at 6:00 pm (1800 GMT).
However, Hjordis Gudmundsdottir, a spokeswoman for Iceland's airport authority Isavia, pointed out that with a volcano still erupting one can only imagine the possibilities of the airport being shut again. Any sort of predictions are impossible.Denmark's autonomous territory Greenland, the only other place where airspace so far has been shut due to the ash, meanwhile extended the closure of some airspace until at least midnight GMT time.The main question tomorrow is if the (ash) production will affect Scotland or Northern Ireland, Gunnar Gudmundsson, a geophysicist colleague of Arason, told AFP, pointing out that there was also a danger the ash could get into a jetstream to the south of Iceland and could head to the North Sea.Gudmundsson stressed,It is not clear how this (ash) production will continue.It's very difficult to guess what will happen,he said, adding the explosive, ash-producing phase of the eruption would hopefully end within a few days.
Experts also point out that the ash from the ongoing eruption appears coarser than the very fine ash from last year's blast, and should therefore not travel as far.
European air traffic controllers in Brussels said Monday they did not expect any further airspace closures due to the ash until the end of Tuesday.A spokeswoman for EU transport commissioner Siim Kallas, however, suggested that the picture was less certain.There is at the moment a possibility of volcanic ash affecting the European airspace starting with the northwestern areas like the UK and Ireland possibly today or tomorrow,she said.France's junior transport secretary Thierry Mariani also warned that if the ash does reach Europe,flights will be cancelled.During last year's eruption of the neighbouring Eyjafjoell volcano, more than 100,000 flights were cancelled and eight million passengers stranded, dealing a harsh blow to the airline industry, particularly in Europe.The threat of a repeat sent airline shares across the continent tumbling Monday, with German Lufthansa, Air France-KLM, British Airways and Scandinavian airline SAS all seeing falls of around three to four percent.How far the ash travels will depend on the strength of the winds and the intensity of the eruption, experts agree, pointing out that historically Grimsvoetn eruptions have tended to have very brief explosive stages, with the intensity usually subsiding significantly within a few days.
However Gudmundsson pointed out,this is a much bigger eruption than the recent ones at this volcano,which is Iceland's most active -- having erupted nine times between 1922 and 2004.In fact, it is the most powerful eruption in more than a century from the volcano -- located at the heart of the country's biggest glacier, Vatnajoekull in southeastern Iceland -- with its plume initially reaching a height of 20 kilometres (12 miles).On Monday, the plume stood at around 10 kilometres, slightly above the peak of last year's eruption ash column from Eyjafjoell.We hope the ash plume will be lower tomorrow ... I think it will decline more and more, Gudmundsson said, while adding that there are still many open questions.
Comment Columnists / Michael coren Marginalization of Christians continues in Canada By Michael Coren, QMI Agency Updated: May 21, 2011 2:00am
This isn’t China, North Korea, Iran, or Egypt. Christians are not beaten up, raped, killed, forcibly converted and exiled.I won’t even say not yet because that would smell of drama. But persecution and marginalization come in all sorts of shapes and flavours. Just consider, in one week, how the state and corporations treated serious believers.First, in Quebec, a judge ordered a Roman Catholic family to place their young children in socialized daycare, under the allegation they were not being properly socialized. The word is a fashion sound-bite rather than a genuine concept, but it looks good when used to condemn home-schooling parents. In this case, the family had already been told that they were not educating their other children properly and forced to send them to school. Now it was daycare.That home-schooled children routinely perform better in educational tests than those raised in the public system, that there are no reports at all that they do not adjust well to greater society or university, that youth illiteracy has become a problem again, and that many parents seem to believe that dressing their kids as pimps and hookers is acceptable, is all apparently irrelevant.
Here was a judge, not an educator, backed by courts, police, prisons and all of the powers of the state, telling a mother and a father that they cared too much about their children. The next step would be to forcibly remove them, thus destroying an exemplary family.But then, what is family? A highly popular sports journalist, Damian Goddard, lost his job after stating on Twitter that he disagreed with a former hockey player who supported same-sex marriage. The Catholic man’s employers deny that his dismissal had anything to do with his views, but the coincidence is somewhat jarring. Goddard did not say anything hateful or extreme, but his family will now feel the pain of unemployment. There’s pluralism and tolerance for you.In Ottawa, a crowd of as many as 18,000 people gathered to march in support of the unborn and to oppose abortion. The RCMP suggested the figure was closer to 10,000, and other experts on grid measurement thought 15,000 more accurate. Not the CBC though. They confidently explained that 5,000 people were at the peaceful gathering.
A mistake of a thousand or two I can believe, but a discrepancy of 200%! We can only thank our publicly funded stars that the same network — joined by most others in the mainstream media — tells us every year that more than a million people attend the gay pride parade in Toronto, when the police privately inform journalists that 200,000 is closer to the mark. For a million people to be present, the crowd would have to stretch from the southern tip of Toronto to Barrie, Ont., more than 100 km north.But it’s overwhelmingly Christians who attended the pro-life demonstration, and usually the media doesn’t mention it at all. Parents, journalists, public protests. Then there are Christian students mocked by professors, Christian workers told to leave their opinions outside of the workplace, Christian civil servants fired for refusing to affirm views contrary to their faith.No, it’s not China or Iran. Velvet gloves and iron fists, with velvet made in Canada.

A Fanshawe College residence was a scene of bloody carnage on Friday morning with bullet-riddled corpses strewn in the corridors and dozens of injured being carried away.It was all fake -- a very realistic exercise designed to train students and emergency workers to handle a real tragedy.Exercise Peregrine, named for the residence where it takes place, involved a hypothetical scenario where a gunman walks in and starts firing at students -- a scenario similar to the Virginia Tech or Ecole Polytechnique tragedies.The situation was made as real as possible with bloody makeup, shell casings, fake shattered glass and the smell of gunpowder.A gym was turned into a makeshift triage centre and a security perimeter was set up around the campus.Steven Clemens, Fanshawe's emergency management supervisor said the simulation is a test of the college's emergency and lockdown procedures but also gives students in the paramedic and nursing program a realistic training scenario.
They have already been on the street and we want to take them to the next level. They want realism to the max,said Clemens.Clemens said the realism was thanks to the expertise of Dugg Steary co-coordinator of Fanshawe's advanced care paramedic program who also operates a business staging simulations of emergency events across North America.Clemens said the training extended into other programs with theatre arts students playing the role of the dead and injured victims, media students recording the event and business administrating students handling the registration of the hundreds of people involved.Lane Trotter, Fanshawe's academic vice-president, said the simulation was a good lesson for all students and staff.It's a scenario we hope will never happen, but we have to have a plan,he said.E-mail hank.daniszewski@sunmedia.ca, or follow HankatLFPress on Twitter.
Comment
Melissa: A school shooting could happen. Or there could be a fire. Or someone could get hit by a car. Or an asteroid could hit the school.There are a million bad things that could happen. There has to be some effort to rationally prioritize. School shootings are both exceedingly rare and very difficult to safeguard against. This ought to make them an extremely low priority for safety efforts.Unfortunately, humans are extremely poor at understanding probability. We tend to judge perceived risks based on factors like how subjectively dramatic they seem, or whether they seem to be out of our control. Hence we worry far too much about events like school shootings.Evan Harper, May 20th 2011, 6:57pm

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

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

Putin decides to retake presidency Mark Franchetti From: The Sunday Times May 23, 2011 12:00AM
RUSSIAN Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has decided to run for the presidency next year, raising the possibility of a power struggle with his protege Dmitry Medvedev, the incumbent Kremlin leader, say highly placed sources.The once-close relationship between Mr Putin, the tough-talking former KGB officer who has inspired a personality cult, and Mr Medvedev, a softly spoken Twitter enthusiast, has become increasingly fractious amid speculation in Moscow that the younger man wishes to stand again.Insiders familiar with both leaders said Mr Putin, who served eight years as president before becoming Prime Minister three years ago, had begun to lose confidence in Mr Medvedev's loyalty.Under the constitution, Mr Putin's move to reclaim the presidency could see him rule for two consecutive six-year terms until 2024, when he will be 72. If so, he would have served as prime minister or president for 24 years in all.
The sources said recent criticism by Mr Medvedev had made Mr Putin suspicious. Putin will run for president. He's made up his mind for good. Rumours that he's still weighing his options are false, said one source.There's mounting tension between Medvedev and Putin. The view in Putin's camp is that Medvedev has started behaving with too much arrogance and wants to challenge him. Putin is starting to doubt his loyalty.The Russian constitution allows the president to serve no more than two consecutive terms. Mr Putin stepped down in 2008 and handed the reins to Medvedev on the tacit understanding that he could come back next year if he wished.At first Mr Medvedev was regarded as a puppet. He even took to imitating Mr Putin's distinctive macho stride and speaking style. But three years later, Mr Medvedev, who at 45 is still Russia's youngest leader in more than seven decades, is understood to be reluctant to step aside for Mr Putin.The President is said to be frustrated at the perception, both at home and abroad, that he is a lame duck. A second term would give him the power to pursue a more liberal agenda of greater political freedom and sweeping judicial reforms, in contrast to that of Mr Putin, who is viewed as authoritarian.Both Putin and Medvedev see themselves as the next Russian president, said another Kremlin source.Given that the former brought the latter to power, that's a problem.
It's the classic tale of the pupil trying to overtake his master. Putin's camp thinks Medvedev is getting too cocky while the President and his people say it's time for the old man to retire.In a comment seen as a veiled attack on Mr Putin, Mr Medvedev said last week:A person who thinks he can stay in power indefinitely is a danger to society.Russian history shows that monopolising power leads to stagnation or civil war.In the past, Mr Medvedev, a Led Zeppelin fan and iPad devotee who speaks fluent English, has been careful to avoid open criticism of Mr Putin but they have clashed recently.Make no mistake, Medvedev is an impressive leader who would be good news for Russia if he stays on, said a Kremlin source.There's rivalry with Putin but they're both too smart to get drawn into a nasty personal conflict.The difference is simple: Putin can ask Medvedev to step aside. No matter how reluctantly, he'll oblige. But Medvedev can't stop Putin from coming back. And Putin wants to be president again.

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
Russia warns of new Cold War over missile defence
From: NewsCore May 19, 2011 8:24AM THE AUSTRALIAN
RUSSIAN President Dmitry Medvedev yesterday warned of a new Cold War era if Russia and the West fail to agree on missile defence, in the first major news conference of his presidency.Despite the startling warning to the United States and Europe, Medvedev confounded expectations he would use the event to finally announce if he intends to seek a new Kremlin mandate in 2012 elections.Russia is increasingly worried about US plans to build missile defence facilities in ex-Communist eastern Europe and is also offended that NATO appears to have shunned its proposals for a joint missile defence shield.Medvedev told reporters that the US decision to push ahead with construction of the missile defence system despite Russia's objections will force Moscow to take retaliatory measures - something that we would very much rather not do.We would then be talking about developing the offensive potential of our nuclear capabilities,Medvedev warned.The Russian leader also reiterated an earlier threat to pull out of the new START disarmament agreement that entered into force this year if the missile shield is deployed and operated without the Kremlin's input.This would be a very bad scenario. It would be a scenario that throws us back into the Cold War era.
The United States insisted it viewed Russia as a partner on security issues rather than a threat. We have been consistent and clear for many years now that our missile defence cooperation in no way is directed at Russia, State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters.And in fact we want to cooperate on missile defence with Russia and we have been quite clear on that, Toner added.Moscow has been fighting NATO plans to deploy a system the West sees as a means of protection from nations such as Iran but Russia believes could potentially be deployed against its own defences.
Medvedev on yesterday demanded a legally-binding assurance from the United States that this will never happen - a safeguard that Moscow says Washington is refusing to give.NATO has thus far invited Russia to voice its concerns in formal meetings but refused to provide Moscow with a formal role in the shield's operation that it seeks.
We would like to see missile defence develop under clear rules, Medvedev said in the first broad-ranging press conference of his three-year presidency.The news conference, at a technology hub on the outskirts of Moscow, was broadcast live on Russian state television. Medvedev stood, US presidential style, alone at a lectern against the backdrop of the Russian flag.Hundreds of reporters attended the news conference, which was a major event for Medvedev who so far has only spoken to the press alongside foreign leaders or in small scale briefings.Seeking to show his confidence, Medvedev chose each question apparently at random from journalists in the audience, many of whom concentrated on local issues.But despite intense speculation that he wants to stand for a new presidential term instead of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Medvedev refused to say if he intended to seek a new mandate in 2012.This kind of decision has to be made when all the conditions are right, when it has the final political effect,Medvedev said.

Tornado Devastates Joplin; More Severe Weather Today
By Brian Edwards, Meteorologist May 23, 2011; 10:58 AM ET
Joplin gets hit again by high winds and hail. Another round of tornadoes possible Tuesday...Dozens are dead and even more injured after nearly 50 tornadoes tore though parts of the Midwest on Sunday.At least 89 people were killed in Joplin, Mo., which received the worst of the severe weather.If the death toll in Joplin exceeds 115, it will be in the top 10 deadliest tornadoes in all time, none of which have occurred since 1953 according to the Storm Prediction Center.
More Severe Weather Expected Today
The area will have little time to clean up as another round of severe weather is expected again today.A complex of severe thunderstorms tracked across Joplin and southwestern Missouri this morning producing gusty winds and hail.Hail, 1 inch in diameter, was reported in the vicinity of Joplin Municipal Airport along with wind gusts to 36 mph.Additional thunderstorms will develop this afternoon across the southern Plains, potentially affecting the Joplin area again.Torrential downpours and frequent lightning associated with these thunderstorms will interfere with cleanup efforts. Localized flash flooding is likely as the ground is already saturated due to above-normal rainfall the last two months.High winds could cause additional damage and may topple cranes which are in the city helping with the cleanup.Damage was widespread across the city as homes, schools and a hospital were hit by a massive tornado.According to AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert, x-ray films from the hospital were found 70 miles away in a driveway.
Meanwhile, school has already been canceled on Monday as one of the Joplin School District's buildings had received catastrophic damage.Many of the dead were residents looking to seek shelter when the buildings they were in collapsed.The tornado traveled 6 miles from the west side of the city to the southeast portion. The southern edge of the city was the hardest hit. The tornado ranged from half a mile to three-quarters of a mile in width. While the exact strength of the storm is yet to be determined, it could be upwards of an EF4.According to Kathy Dennis of the American Red Cross,75% of the town is virtually gone.Scenes from the city look much like those of the tornadoes that claimed more than 300 lives in the Southeast last month.Throughout the city, roads are littered with downed trees and buildings, making them nearly impassable. Interstate 44 also had significant damage as 20 cars and tractor-trailers were overturned.According to the Associated Press, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard, while emergency crews were conducting search and rescue operations.The number of dead is expected to rise as the crews sort through the rubble.These storms are part of a larger system that triggered severe weather that killed one person in Kansas on Saturday night and caused damage from Minnesota to Texas on Sunday.At least one person was killed and 29 injured in storms that hit Minneapolis, Minn. Meanwhile, La Crosse, Wis., was also hit hard as winds tore roofs off homes and trapped residents inside.

Iceland ash threatens Europe Agnes Valdimarsdottir
May 24, 2011 - 3:29AM icelandair.ca/Iceland-flights
A plume of ash from an erupting volcano in Iceland is forecast to reach Britain Monday before billowing across mainland Europe, experts said, triggering warnings of air travel disruptions.The eruption of Grimsvoetn has evoked fears of a repeat of last year's travel chaos sparked by the eruption of another Icelandic volcano which led to the biggest shutdown of European airspace since World War II.The low-level winds are ... blowing strongly towards the UK, said Peitur Arason of the Icelandic Meteorological Office, while its British counterpart warned ash could reach Scottish airspace as early as 1700 GMT Monday.Disruptions to aviation couldn't be ruled out", Britain's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said in a statement -- possibly upsetting the travel plans of US President Barack Obama.Obama is set fly from Ireland to London on Tuesday as part of a six-day European tour of four countries. After his state visit to Britain he is due to fly to France on Thursday.While lower-level winds are closer to the ground and thus will probably not manage to carry the ash as far afield, Arason said they would still affect air travel.Two days into its most powerful eruption in over a century, monitors said ash particles from the Grimsvoetn volcano had been scattered across much of Iceland, forcing the country to close its airspace Sunday.But as winds shifted and began pushing the ash to the south, the North Atlantic island nation began gradually reopening its airspace Monday afternoon and said flights would resume at its main international airport Keflavik, near the capital Reykjavik, at 6:00 pm (1800 GMT).
However, Hjordis Gudmundsdottir, a spokeswoman for Iceland's airport authority Isavia, pointed out that with a volcano still erupting one can only imagine the possibilities of the airport being shut again. Any sort of predictions are impossible.Denmark's autonomous territory Greenland, the only other place where airspace so far has been shut due to the ash, meanwhile extended the closure of some airspace until at least midnight GMT time.The main question tomorrow is if the (ash) production will affect Scotland or Northern Ireland, Gunnar Gudmundsson, a geophysicist colleague of Arason, told AFP, pointing out that there was also a danger the ash could get into a jetstream to the south of Iceland and could head to the North Sea.Gudmundsson stressed,It is not clear how this (ash) production will continue.It's very difficult to guess what will happen,he said, adding the explosive, ash-producing phase of the eruption would hopefully end within a few days.
Experts also point out that the ash from the ongoing eruption appears coarser than the very fine ash from last year's blast, and should therefore not travel as far.
European air traffic controllers in Brussels said Monday they did not expect any further airspace closures due to the ash until the end of Tuesday.A spokeswoman for EU transport commissioner Siim Kallas, however, suggested that the picture was less certain.There is at the moment a possibility of volcanic ash affecting the European airspace starting with the northwestern areas like the UK and Ireland possibly today or tomorrow,she said.France's junior transport secretary Thierry Mariani also warned that if the ash does reach Europe,flights will be cancelled.During last year's eruption of the neighbouring Eyjafjoell volcano, more than 100,000 flights were cancelled and eight million passengers stranded, dealing a harsh blow to the airline industry, particularly in Europe.The threat of a repeat sent airline shares across the continent tumbling Monday, with German Lufthansa, Air France-KLM, British Airways and Scandinavian airline SAS all seeing falls of around three to four percent.How far the ash travels will depend on the strength of the winds and the intensity of the eruption, experts agree, pointing out that historically Grimsvoetn eruptions have tended to have very brief explosive stages, with the intensity usually subsiding significantly within a few days.
However Gudmundsson pointed out,this is a much bigger eruption than the recent ones at this volcano,which is Iceland's most active -- having erupted nine times between 1922 and 2004.In fact, it is the most powerful eruption in more than a century from the volcano -- located at the heart of the country's biggest glacier, Vatnajoekull in southeastern Iceland -- with its plume initially reaching a height of 20 kilometres (12 miles).On Monday, the plume stood at around 10 kilometres, slightly above the peak of last year's eruption ash column from Eyjafjoell.We hope the ash plume will be lower tomorrow ... I think it will decline more and more, Gudmundsson said, while adding that there are still many open questions.
Comment Columnists / Michael coren Marginalization of Christians continues in Canada By Michael Coren, QMI Agency Updated: May 21, 2011 2:00am
This isn’t China, North Korea, Iran, or Egypt. Christians are not beaten up, raped, killed, forcibly converted and exiled.I won’t even say not yet because that would smell of drama. But persecution and marginalization come in all sorts of shapes and flavours. Just consider, in one week, how the state and corporations treated serious believers.First, in Quebec, a judge ordered a Roman Catholic family to place their young children in socialized daycare, under the allegation they were not being properly socialized. The word is a fashion sound-bite rather than a genuine concept, but it looks good when used to condemn home-schooling parents. In this case, the family had already been told that they were not educating their other children properly and forced to send them to school. Now it was daycare.That home-schooled children routinely perform better in educational tests than those raised in the public system, that there are no reports at all that they do not adjust well to greater society or university, that youth illiteracy has become a problem again, and that many parents seem to believe that dressing their kids as pimps and hookers is acceptable, is all apparently irrelevant.
Here was a judge, not an educator, backed by courts, police, prisons and all of the powers of the state, telling a mother and a father that they cared too much about their children. The next step would be to forcibly remove them, thus destroying an exemplary family.But then, what is family? A highly popular sports journalist, Damian Goddard, lost his job after stating on Twitter that he disagreed with a former hockey player who supported same-sex marriage. The Catholic man’s employers deny that his dismissal had anything to do with his views, but the coincidence is somewhat jarring. Goddard did not say anything hateful or extreme, but his family will now feel the pain of unemployment. There’s pluralism and tolerance for you.In Ottawa, a crowd of as many as 18,000 people gathered to march in support of the unborn and to oppose abortion. The RCMP suggested the figure was closer to 10,000, and other experts on grid measurement thought 15,000 more accurate. Not the CBC though. They confidently explained that 5,000 people were at the peaceful gathering.
A mistake of a thousand or two I can believe, but a discrepancy of 200%! We can only thank our publicly funded stars that the same network — joined by most others in the mainstream media — tells us every year that more than a million people attend the gay pride parade in Toronto, when the police privately inform journalists that 200,000 is closer to the mark. For a million people to be present, the crowd would have to stretch from the southern tip of Toronto to Barrie, Ont., more than 100 km north.But it’s overwhelmingly Christians who attended the pro-life demonstration, and usually the media doesn’t mention it at all. Parents, journalists, public protests. Then there are Christian students mocked by professors, Christian workers told to leave their opinions outside of the workplace, Christian civil servants fired for refusing to affirm views contrary to their faith.No, it’s not China or Iran. Velvet gloves and iron fists, with velvet made in Canada.
