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

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

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

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

Polish leader raises alarm about new euroscepticism
ANDREW RETTMAN 01.07.2011 @ 17:12 CET

EUOBSERVER / WARSAW - The financial crisis and Arab Spring migrants have given rise to a new euroscepticism inside the union, Polish leader Donald Tusk has warned as Poland takes over the EU presidency.Contrasting a new breed of hypocrisy with the old ideological EU-pessimism in the UK, Tusk said continental leaders have begun aggressively protecting national interests despite their pro-EU rhetoric.The union is going through one of the most difficult and complicated moments in its history, he told press at an event in Warsaw on Friday (1 July). When I speak of a new euroscepticism, I am not talking about traditional euroscepticism as in [the UK] ... I am talking about the birth of a phenomenon which does not declare itself. I mean the behaviour of politicians who say they support the EU and further integration but at the same time take steps that weaken the union.Tusk declined to name names, but he pointed to France and Italy in his criticism of fresh border restrictions in the passport-free Schengen zone after Tunisian migrants began crossing the Mediterranean en masse.With Germany initially voicing opposition to the second Greek bail-out, he added that there is a lack of financial solidarity in the union.People are saying to one another: You're inadequate. You should leave the EU. You shoud leave the euro. I see such tedencies and I believe the right path is the opposite one ... I am convinced that what the EU needs is further integration,he said.He noted that Poles do not see joint economic governance or externally-imposed austerity programmes, as in Greece, as a threat: We lived for many years as a non-sovereign country, under Soviet occupation. For us European integration is not a threat to sovereignty because we experienced not long ago a serious threat to our sovereignty.With surveys saying that 80 percent of Poles favour EU membership, Tusk spoke of Polish energy and pro-EU feeling as an antidote to the new malaise: The European Union is fantastic. It is the best place on earth where you can be born and live your life.

Despite dropping hints about fellow EU leaders' negative behaviour, Tusk signalled he will take a non-confrontational approach over the coming six months.He declined to criticise France and Germany for cooking up eurozone reforms at a meeting in Deauville, France earlier this year. There is no point in being upset that France and Germany are so big, but we must make sure they do not exploit their size in an inappropriate way,he said.And he did not insist on proposals for the Polish finance minister to sit-in on meetings of the euro-using countries in Brussels, joking I don't want to force my way into someone else's house.The Polish presidency was launched on a rainy Friday in Warsaw with a VIP gala attended by outgoing EU presidency leader, Hungary's Viktor Orban, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and EU Council chief Herman Van Rompuy.The government also put on four music concerts and put up little EU flags and billboards on some main streets.Barroso at the gala echoed Tusk's remarks about the importance of Polish EU enthusiasm while Orban gave a rousing ode to Poland's defeat of Communism and its role in European reunification.Poland's relationship with the EU is perhaps less rosy than the VIPs made out, however.Other surveys say most young Poles do not know what the EU presidency is. And Polish appetite to join the eurozone has waned: just 42 percent of Poles now support euro-entry compared to a clear majority before the crisis.
Meanwhile, in the run-up to 1 July, Tusk opened himself to charges of the same egoism he diagnosed among his peers when Poland blocked an EU move toward deeper cuts in CO2 emissions in order to protect its national coal sector.This [kind of] approach can prove a threat to Europe as a whole,Kuba Gogolewski, an eviornmental campaigner with CEE Bankwatch Network, commented on the move.

Polish minister pledges loyalty to EU's Ashton
ANDREW RETTMAN 02.07.2011 @ 20:09 CET

EUOBSERVER / WARSAW - Polish foreign minister Radek Sikorski has promised to be EU foreign relations chief Catherine Ashton's loyal deputy. But his outspoken ways could upstage her despite his best intentions.Sikorski made the pledge at a press briefing in Warsaw on Friday (1 July) as Poland took over the rotating EU presidency.
Under the Lisbon Treaty, Ashton became the official figurehead for EU foreign policy. But she has found it hard to assert her role as big EU countries take the lead on major developments such as Libya and amid grumbling that she is not cut out for the job.Sikorski in deference to Ashton on Friday declined to say if Poland would back the Palestinians if they apply for UN membership in September.We [EU foreign ministers] have agreed to withhold our national positions to help Cathy Ashton reach a consensus. There is a need for the EU to speak on this with one voice,he said.He also defended her against criticism that she is not active enough.

She has an impossible portfolio. She has taken over the portfolios of two previous commissioners. She's trying to co-ordinate the positions of 27 countries on difficult issues such as the Middle East and she is trying to create her own ministry from scratch. On any given day, she should be in five places at once.His deputised tasks are to include a trip in Ashton's name to Afghanistan and India. He will also help her put together EU aid for post-war governance in Libya and new ways of funding NGOs in repressive countries.Minor tension has already emerged on the Middle East, however.An EU diplomatic source said Ashton asked Poland not to call an informal EU foreign ministers' meeting in September in case ministers go off message on the Palestine question at a sensitive moment. But Poland called the meeting anyway, to take place one week before the UN event.Meanwhile, Ashton's cautious approach to media could see the more flamboyant Polish minister put her in the shade over the next six months.Reacting to press questions about Libya and Belarus on Friday, Sikorski could not resist making risque jokes.On whether Colonel Gaddafi should step down, Sikorski said: If he were to ask for transit over Polish territory to seek asylum in Belarus, we would be helpful ... I think he [Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko] and Gaddafi would get on like a house on fire.With Ashton's attention on the Middle East, Poland is also likely to play a leading role on EU relations with post-Soviet countries.Ukraine's EU ambassador recently complained that he has been asking Ashton to come to Kiev for the past year to no avail. When asked by EUobserver about prospects for ending the frozen conflict in EU-aspirant Moldova, a diplomat in Ashton's service said: Frankly, we don't care.For his part, Sikorski on Friday noted that the Polish presidency is looking to clinch an EU association pact with Ukraine and to make progress on a similar deal with Molodva as two top priorities.He also made clear that Poland wants to make a historic mark on EU affairs during its six-month tenure.Looking to plans to sign an accession treaty with Croatia in autumn, the minister said: The options [for a venue for the treaty ceremony] are Brussels, Warsaw and Zagreb. We like Croatia but we wouldn't mind the accession treaty for Croatia being known as the Warsaw Treaty.

Egypt: Pipeline Carrying Gas to Israel Explodes Again
by Elad Benari JULY 4,11

The pipeline carrying gas from Egypt to Israel and Jordan exploded early Monday morning, officials have said.According to a report in the BBC, the blast happened at a pumping station at Nagah, in the Bir al-Abd region of the northern Sinai Peninsula (about 80 kilometers from the north Sinai town of El-Arish).Security officials told the AFP news agency that the explosion was caused by saboteurs, noting that a suspicious car had parked near the pipeline shortly before the explosion.The officials added that the explosion had sent flames into the sky and cut gas supplies to Israel and Jordan. They said emergency services were deployed to the area to try to bring the fire under control.This is the third time Egyptian gas pipelines have been attacked former President Hosni Mubarak was removed from power in an uprising.

The first attack in February was later confirmed to have been a terror attack. A second attack occurred on April 27, also by unknown saboteurs.There was also a failed attack which occurred in March. Six terrorists, reportedly Bedouin, tried to blow up the pipeline but the timer failed to detonate the explosives, preventing a huge economic and political crisis.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Muslim Brotherhood to U.S.: Stop Backing Israel and We'll Talk by Elad Benari JULY 4,11

The radical Islamic group Muslim Brotherhood is ready to speak with the United States but is conditioning talks on America’s support for Israel.On Saturday, a spokesman for the group said it was prepared to talk with the U.S. He was responding to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s remarks late last week. Clinton had said the Obama administration wants to open a dialog with the group.We believe, given the changing political landscape in Egypt, that it is in the interests of the United States to engage with all parties that are peaceful and committed to nonviolence, that intend to compete for the parliament and the presidency,she told reporters in Budapest, Hungary, adding: We welcome, therefore, dialogue with those Muslim Brotherhood members who wish to talk with us.Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Mahmoud Ghozlan reportedly responded in an e-mailed statement, and was quoted by Bloomberg News as having said: We are ready for dialogue with the U.S. administration, if it so decides, within a framework of mutual respect.Ghozlan added, however, that his group hopes that the U.S. administration has revised its previous policies and decided to side with the rights of the people and their demands.

He also made sure to mention Israel, saying the U.S. should stop supporting the corrupt and tyrannical regimes, backing the Zionist occupation and using double standards.Ghozlan’s statement also said that no dialogue has taken place so far between the Muslim Brotherhood and the U.S., but added that there had been contact with the U.S. embassy in Cairo in the past.Members of the Muslim Brotherhood, joined by allied Hamas fighters from Gaza, were at the fore of some of the most violent protests during the demonstrations in Egypt that resulted in the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak.The group later created a broad super-coalition of opposition parties in hopes of taking Egypt's next government by storm.The group’s leaders have publicly stated they would implement Muslim sharia law in Egypt should they take office.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Hamas Hints at More Kidnappings to Force Shalit Deal
by Elad Benari JULY 4,11

The Hamas-run Al-Risala newspaper reported on its website on Sunday that Palestinian Authority-based terrorist groups may carry out another operation like the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.Abu Ataya, a spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees, one of the three terrorist organizations which joined together to kidnap Shalit in June 2006, was quoted by the newspaper as saying the PA terror organizations have the ability to carry out a similar operation if they wish.Shalit’s kidnapping was not the first nor will it be the last, he said.We will return the ball to our court when and where it will be appropriate, and in a way which will surprise everyone and especially the occupation.Meanwhile, a PA Arab commentator who is considered an expert on Israel, Hatem Abu Zaida, told Al-Risala that he believes the terror organizations will try to kidnap Israeli soldiers using other methods which Israel does not expect. He added that Israel would in the end be forced accept the terms of the kidnappers and release terrorist prisoners.Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas’ military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, refused to directly address his organization’s future course of action regarding the kidnapping of soldiers, noting that we will not provide the enemy with free information.At the conclusion of the article, its author expressed hope that there will soon be another kidnapping of soldiers.

The article comes after last week, an official with the Palestinian Authority defended Hamas, saying it was not Hamas terrorists who kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.The PA’s representative in Belgium, Leila Shahid, said during a joint meeting with Israeli representatives that it was a terror organization other than Hamas who kidnapped Shalit and transferred him to Hamas.Shalit, meanwhile, continues to be held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza and has not been allowed visits by the International Red Cross for the entire five years which have passed since his kidnapping. The organization recently called on Hamas to prove that Shalit is still alive.Earlier on Sunday, parents who have lost children to terrorist attacks called for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to release the names of terrorists that Israel would agree to release in exchange for Gilad Shalit.The demands were made following reports that Netanyahu has agreed to a proposal by a German mediator regarding Shalit’s release.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Report: Despite Terror Attacks, Israel Aids Gaza's Citizens by Elad Benari JULY 4,11

The IDF’s Coordinator of Government Activities in Judea and Samaria, Major General Eitan Dangot, revealed last week that more than 60 rockets and mortar shells out of 460 rockets and mortar shells fired in the past year at the northern Negev from the Gaza Strip, were aimed directly at the land crossings from Israel into Gaza.Dangot made the comments during a briefing to foreign reporters in Jerusalem, in which he explained how Israel assists Gaza’s citizens. He said that Israel has invested over 50 million shekels in renovating and increasing the capacity of the Kerem Shalom crossing, the crossing through which most of the goods enter Gaza.Dangot presented to the foreign journalists a long list of relief measures taken by Israel to help the Gaza Strip since the Cabinet decision of June 2010, in which it was decided to increase the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Strip.Among the measures taken were: increasing the number of trucks that transport goods into the Gaza Strip, renovating the land crossings into Gaza and increasing the range of goods allowed into the Strip, approving extensive projects in Gaza funded by members of the international community, increasing the export of agricultural produce from Gaza, and increasing the amount of entry and exit permits from Gaza into Israel for Gaza’s residents.

Dangot’s comments are in line with an illustrative video released by the IDF spokesperson’s office last week. The video details the amount of goods Israel transfers to the inhabitants of Gaza on any given week. This includes 6,000 tons of goods (around 260 truckloads) which are transferred into Gaza on a daily basis. The products transferred into the Strip include baby food, poultry, vegetables, construction materials, and other miscellaneous goods such as medicine, clothing, electrical equipment and hygiene products.Major General Dangot noted further that Israel even regularly transfers luxuries into the Strip, including LCD screens, luxury cars such as Mercedes and Hyundai jeeps, modern refrigerators, and whirlpool bathtubs. He emphasized that these goods enter Gaza daily and are not part of any special one-time deliveries.He also emphasized that the civilian policy toward Gaza shows Israel’s humanitarian efforts and said that as such, there is absolutely no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, a fact which is often claimed by the Hamas terror group, as well as by the organizers of the Freedom Flotilla 2.He added that Israel’s policy towards Gaza’s population has led to an improvement in the Gaza Strip and has resulted in an increase in the living standards there. He added that evidence shows that there has been an increase of 15% in the GDP in the Gaza Strip, and an increase of approximately 11% in the GDP per capita.Major General Dangot stressed that Israel has allowed for this aid to enter the Strip despite the continued terrorist attacks originating in Gaza towards communities in southern Israel(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Severe Storm Causes Two Deaths in Wisconsin
ContributorNetwork Tammy Lee Morris – JULY 3,11

Severe storms moved through Wisconsin and Minnesota on Friday, resulting in tragedy in one Wisconsin county where countless people were camping and getting ready for the holiday weekend. One 11-year-old girl was killed when a tree fell on her after it was struck by lightning. The Associated Press reported that the girl was from Minnesota but did not release her name.According to Wisconsin Emergency Management Agency, the girl was camping in Burnett County with her family when the storm hit. The Agency reported that two deaths resulted from this storm. The other death occurred when a local man suffered a heart attack but it was not clear if the heart attack was related to the storm.More than three dozen other people in northwestern Wisconsin were injured by the storm and reports stated that this weather event brought 80 mile per hour winds, softball size hail and plenty of damage. Campgrounds, lakes, rivers and state parks suffered damage from downed trees. The storm knocked out power to thousands of homes in eastern South Dakota and western Wisconsin.This round of storms affected areas that normally have smaller populations but due to the Fourth of July holiday, thousands of visitors had already started packing the campgrounds that were hit by the storm.This year has already seen excessive weather events that have grabbed headlines and plenty of attention. A number of EF-5 tornadoes have struck at various locations in the United States and caused extreme death and destruction. Town names such as Joplin and Tuscaloosa have become synonymous with severe weather due to this year's tornado season. Historically, Wisconsin has not been known for having a high number of storm fatalities or injuries.

For example, 2010 statistics from the National Weather Service show that the state experienced six storm-related fatalities last year and 50 injuries. In contrast, Oklahoma had the highest number of injuries in 2010 with 410 while Tennessee had the highest number of deaths at 53.Wisconsin EMA reported that several counties had storm damage and power outages from this storm. The agency stated that the hardest hit counties in northwest Wisconsin were Douglas, Burnett and Washburn counties where there were reports of at least two homes destroyed. WEMA reported that a hanger in Solon Springs had one wall collapse due to the storm causing the building to fall on a small single engine plane. It was reported that the high winds blew away the roof of the hanger building.Tammy Lee Morris is certified as a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) member and is a trained Skywarn Stormspotter through the National Weather Service.

Floods damage homes, disrupt traffic in Denmark
– Sun Jul 3, 6:41 am ET

COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Authorities say heavy rains have flooded hundreds of homes and several streets in Denmark's capital, disrupting traffic and delaying trains.Jeppe Ilkjaer, a spokesman for the rescue services company Falck, says his organization has received calls from more than 1,000 home owners in Copenhagen whose cellars have been flooded following the rains late Saturday.The Danish Road Directorate says the floods have forced it to close four major freeways surrounding the city Sunday and have delayed trains in the region.No one has been injured by the floods, which also have disrupted telephone lines to Copenhagen police.Rescue Services said 150 millimeters (6 inches) of rain fell over the Copenhagen area on Saturday and more heavy showers are expected Sunday evening.

US nuclear lab to reopen after wildfire threat ends
JULY 3,11

LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Officials at the Los Alamos National Laboratory said they will re-open the nuclear research center on Wednesday after it was closed in late June due to an encroaching wildfire.The site in the southwestern state of New Mexico, where the atomic bomb was developed during World War II, appears to have escaped serious damage from the Las Conchas fire, read a lab statement Sunday.The site will re-open to employees on Wednesday, July 6 following the largest wildfire in New Mexico history,the statement read.Only senior leaders and essential services will be be permitted at the Lab on Tuesday, it added.Flames reached laboratory property on June 27, but caused no damage. However the lab closed down temporarily, in part because the nearby town of Los Alamos, where half the lab employees live, was forced to evacuate.All hazardous and radioactive materials were accounted for and protected during the shutdown, as were key lab facilities such as its proton accelerator and supercomputing centers, officials said.Firefighters on Sunday gave the all-clear for the town of Los Alamos, and the 10,000 residents that had been ordered to leave began streaming back home.The fire, the largest in New Mexico history, currently measures more than 121,000 acres (49,000 hectares). As of Sunday, it was 11% contained and had destroyed dozens of homes, according to the government-run New Mexico Fire Information website.

Royals' Quebec visit appears to be winning gamble By Allan Dowd in Vancouver, Editing by Sandra Maler | Reuters – Sun, Jul 3, 2011

QUEBEC CITY (Reuters) - Anti-monarchist protesters failed to disrupt the visit of Britain's Prince William and his wife Kate to Quebec, which was the most politically sensitive portion of their Canadian royal tour.A group estimated by local reporters at about 200 people used loudspeakers on Sunday to decry the royal family and call for sovereignty for the French-speaking province, but they were kept far away from the couple in Quebec City.The royal family's Canadian visits in recent years have often avoided stops in Quebec, where many still see as a raw wound Britain's defeat their of France in 1759 giving it sovereignty over to Canada.Hundreds of demonstrators protested the Queen's visit to Quebec City in 1964, and groups favoring Quebec's separation from Canada had vowed to give the newlywed Duke and Duchess of Cambridge a rough ride.Despite those concerns, William and Kate chose to visit both Quebec City and Montreal as part of a nine-day tour of Canada that monarchists hope will restore flagging Canadian interest in the royal family.
Protesters at events in Montreal on Saturday were also outnumbered by well-wishers.

The couple visited a youth shelter in Quebec city before attending a ceremony honoring the Van Doos, an infantry regiment based in the provincial capital that has done extensive duty in Afghanistan.William, in brief remarks in French, acknowledged his weakness in speaking the language used by 83 percent of Quebec residents who would become his subjects if he becomes king as the British monarch is also Canada's head of state.Thank you for your patience with my accent, and I hope that we will have the chance to get to know each other over the years to come, he said.After Quebec, the William and Kate will travel to Prince Edward Island, Northwest Territories and Alberta, where they are expected to receive warm greetings as they did in earlier stops in Ottawa.The couple will visit California after leaving Canada.

Israel, Palestinians hope to avoid fall violence By JOSEF FEDERMAN - Associated Press,MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH - JULY 3,11

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli and Palestinian security forces are already taking precautions to avoid an outbreak of violence after an expected U.N. vote for Palestinian independence in September, officials on both sides said Sunday, reflecting shared concerns about the possibility of renewed fighting this fall.For now, Israeli and Palestinian officials said they do not want — or expect — armed hostilities to resume. But both sides fear that one small incident could quickly spin out of control.We need only popular and peaceful struggle, said Amin Makboul, a top official in Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Party. We want to show the world that we are responsible and deserve to be part of the international community.After the bitter lessons of last decade's Palestinian uprising, the Palestinians do not want to give Israel any pretext to claim the Palestinians are not serious about creating a peaceful state, Makboul added.A top Palestinian security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Abbas recently issued a straightforward order to his commanders: I don't want any violent actions in September, the official quoted Abbas as saying. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was discussing a sensitive internal meeting.Israeli and Palestinian officials both say the region is headed into uncharted waters if the Palestinians follow through on their pledge to turn to the United Nations.Each side is trying to prepare for all scenarios. Mostly it is in closed forums whose deliberations are so tightly guarded as to suggest a fear that the mere mention of a new Palestinian uprising might somehow contribute to tensions. However, some preparations are more public.Some 1,000 Israeli military officers held a two-day drill last week to prepare for September, discussing such issues as crowd-control tactics and the latest intelligence, officials say.The army will use the coming months to fine-tune its preparations in hopes of avoiding bloodshed, they said.

Abbas has said he will seek an international endorsement of Palestinian independence if peace talks with Israel remain stalled, as they have been for nearly three years. The U.S. has stepped up efforts to find a formula for renewing negotiations in recent weeks, but there have been no signs of a breakthrough.The Palestinians say they will not resume talks until Israel freezes all contruction in Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem — areas captured in 1967 which they claim for a future state.A senior Palestinian official has hinted the Palestinians will ease this demand if Israel accepts President Barack Obama's formula of basing a future Palestinian state on Israel's pre-1967 frontiers, with agreed land swaps. Setting the rough outlines of a future border at the outset, the thinking goes, would largely solve the settlement issue on its own — since Israel would know which of the communities it will ultimately be able to keep.Israel has reacted coolly to Obama's plan, saying that all issues, including settlements and final borders, should be reached in negotiations.The effect of the U.N. vote will likely be limited in the short term.With the U.S. threatening to use its veto power in the Security Council, the powerful U.N. body that must approve membership in the world body, the Palestinians instead plan to turn to the General Assembly.Although the assembly's decisions are nonbinding, the Palestinians are calculating that a resounding victory there would send a strong international message and put heavy pressure on Israel to begin withdrawing from occupied territories.Israeli military officials believe the Palestinians have no desire to stage another uprising; more than 5,000 Palestinians and more than 1,000 Israelis were killed in the previous one.

It is a view shared by many observers of the Palestinian scene, who note that in recent years the fighting has largely subsided, and the West Bank has enjoyed an economic boom.Still, the last Palestinian uprising broke out during another period of relative prosperity, in late 2000 — and it initially enjoyed wide support among a public that felt disappointed by the results of peace efforts.Some Israelis fear that this fall, the U.N. vote could similarly fuel unrealistic expectations among the Palestinian public. Officials fear a single incident with Palestinian fatalities could spark a wider outbreak of violence. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were discussing a sensitive security assessment.While the Israeli military does not believe the Palestinian leadership in the West Bank is looking for a battle, the rise in Facebook-organized groups is adding some uncertainty to the equation. Palestinian activists in Syria, for instance, recently organized demonstrations along the frontier with Israel that resulted in more the deaths of more than 20 protesters.Facebook use is widespread in the Palestinian territories, especially among the younger generation.The Israeli military officials said they will limit the use of lethal force as much as possible and will try to prevent violent confrontations by using intelligence capabilities.Different protest ideas have been floated, including mass marches on Jewish settlements, though some of that has come from analysts and commentators, not from Palestinian activists. The Israeli military officials say such marches would require extensive planning and could be thwarted ahead of time, if deemed a threat.A Palestinian security official said orders would be for marches to be peaceful, and that tactics like stone-throwing would not be tolerated. He also said rallies would be confined to Palestinian population centers and not be permitted to get too close to Israeli settlements.The official concurred that unofficial groups could stir up violence, particularly if they try to enter areas off limits to Palestinians, like the main checkpoint linking the West Bank to Jerusalem. He said such scenarios would be out of our control, since Palestinian security forces are barred from operating there.If Palestinian demonstrators are killed, the situation could deteriorate,he warned.Daraghmeh reported from Ramallah, West Bank.

Jordan navigates warily in turmoil of Arab Spring
By TIM SULLIVAN - Associated Press | JULY 3,11

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — At the traffic circle in front of the prime minister's office, demonstrators still crowd the streets every week after Friday prayers. Six months since the protests in this desert kingdom started, hundreds of people still join in weekly chants calling for political reform. They still hold up signs demanding an end to government corruption.But after about an hour of angry speeches, with 100 or so unarmed policemen watching from a polite distance, the protesters shake hands and head home. Friday is the weekend in Jordan, and even demonstrators want to get home to their families.The protests of the Arab Spring have shaken much of the Middle East, but a handful of countries have found ways to prevent or calm the anger of the streets. Most prominent is Saudi Arabia, the oil behemoth that has headed off potential opposition by spreading the wealth, spending tens of millions of dollars to boost salaries.Then there is resource-starved Jordan, with its ragged deserts and sputtering economy, where the massive and sometimes-violent protests of early 2011 have quieted to the weekly demonstrations.At the heart of the political standoff is a half-British king trying to avoid the tumult. A darling of Western governments who celebrate him and his Palestinian queen as modern celebrity-monarchs, King Abdullah II has ushered in little democratic reform despite years of promises.

The king sits at the helm of a sprawling intelligence service, a carefully lubricated patronage system and a U.S.-trained military. The economy is largely dependent on aid from Washington and Saudi Arabia. Government opponents say their phones are bugged and houses watched. At times, such as during national and municipal voting in 2007, his regime has blatantly rigged elections, critics say.In Jordan, the king does face increasing criticism, but even the angriest political protesters seldom hold him responsible for their country's troubles. His family dynasty, the Hashemites, rose to power centuries ago as the protectors of the Muslim holy city of Mecca. That, combined with the elaborate system of patronage aimed at powerful local leaders, has earned them immense loyalty among the Bedouin tribes who make up the traditional core of Jordanian society.The king is not a problem for us, said Anis Musharbash, a courtly, gray-haired doctor and communist party member at a recent Friday protest.Who wants a revolution? asked Musharbash, holding out his hands as he was firing a rifle. Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Then he shook his head: We just want this country to change, step by step.It's the central irony of modern Jordan: The man with the most political power is still widely seen as being above the political fray. So while the protesters want large-scale reform — more power shifted from the palace to parliament, an end to government corruption, inflation brought under control — few want an end to Hashemite rule.There is a moral contract between the Jordanian people and the Hashemites, said retired general Ali Habashneh, a government critic. We want them to remain as kings, to secure for us a good life and freedom.Analysts see few generalizations in the countries that have avoided the full force of the Arab Spring. Different countries have taken different approaches to seeking peace with protesters, whether it's money in Saudi Arabia or legal reform in the tiny sultanate of Oman.Jordan has a badly troubled economy, but its overall issues are more complex: a divide between the king's Bedouin allies and Palestinian refugee families who want more political power; worries over nearby Israel, which many Jordanians see as a frightening presence; grumbling discontent over Queen Rania, whose beauty and fashion sense make her popular in the West, but who is seen with suspicion in conservative Bedouin circles.Then there is political reform.

In Jordan, the palace insists it wants many of the same reforms as the protesters, including constitutional and legal changes that would curtail some of the king's vast powers. He currently heads all three branches of government, and commands the army and the intelligence service. He names the prime minister, can dissolve parliament at will, and is a major influence on legislation.Listening to his advisers, it's hard to imagine the king, educated at the elite Massachusetts prep school Deerfield, becoming a commoner anytime soon.His Majesty is a liberal: economically and politically, said Faisal Fayez, the speaker of parliament and a close ally of the king. But His Majesty also knows the structure of Jordanian society. He knows reform will take time.His critics, though, wonder if he really wants change.There may be some reforms over the next six months or a year, but we think they will be really limited, said Jamil Abu-Bakr, spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood, Jordan's largest opposition group. Abu-Bakr predicts any changes would only come in response to democratic shifts elsewhere in the Mideast. The Brotherhood wants the king stripped of much of his power, and says Abdullah is coasting on the reputation of his father, King Hussein.Though he survived a string of assassination plots over the years, Hussein died a much-beloved king, an adventurer who loved jets and motorcycles, and who made peace with Israel. He also launched political reforms following bloody 1988 riots, including the first parliamentary elections in 22 years and the revival of multiparty politics.While Hussein became king as a teenager, Abdullah, son of his father's British-born second wife, was a career military officer before suddenly being named crown prince just ahead of Hussein's 1999 death. While that has left many critics grumbling that he's still learning to navigate palace politics, the goodwill Hussein nurtured is also paying off.

There is no political blood in this country, and we are harvesting the benefits of that, said Mohammad Al-Momani, a professor of political science at Yarmouk University. People criticize the government, they criticize the regime. But at the end of the day, there's no sense of needing revenge.It's a sharp contrast to what happened in Bahrain, where protests earlier this year moved from demands for a constitutional monarchy to the overthrow of the king after a bloody crackdown by the regime.While Jordan is not a police state, it can be easily mistaken as one: the often-thuggish secret police; the manipulated elections; the fawning royal stories in the government-controlled media; the thousands of billboards with the king's face gazing upon his subjects.However, the reality is complicated. It's illegal to criticize the king here, but prosecutions are rare and those convicted often get royal pardons. The secret police are feared, but are not the constant, threatening presence as in countries like Syria and Libya. If some politicians say their phones are tapped, even the harshest critics speak fairly openly.Abdullah has been talking about reform since coming to power, when he even floated the idea of a British-style constitutional democracy. But little was undertaken until the protests, which began over rampant inflation, and the specifics of any reforms remain unclear.The king insists his early plans were thwarted by regional turbulence, like the U.S.-led invasion of neighboring Iraq and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, along with entrenched politicians and bureaucrats at home. Royal insiders say the former intelligence chief also convinced the king that reform could lead to the rise of Muslim militant politicians.

Today, though, it may be the economy that could slow reforms or lead to more protests.While Amman is a modern, outwardly wealthy city, Jordan is struggling with a vast foreign debt, rising inflation, rampant unemployment and poverty.What makes (the king) not sleep at night is the economy, said Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh. To push through political reform he's got to have the economy under control.The king also now even faces occasional criticism from his bedrock supporters, the Bedouins. They dominate the army and the police, and hold most government jobs. Over the years, though, their power has been reduced by rising numbers of Palestinians — West Bankers as they are known here — who now run many of the country's top businesses.
A 2005 census said Palestinians officially made up 43 percent of Jordan's 5.9 million people, though unofficial estimates put them at more than 60 percent.
Earlier this year, a public letter signed by 36 Bedouin tribesmen and retired military commanders laid out a string of criticisms, from worries over the economy to issues with Queen Rania, who they say has undue political influence.While few of the signers were prominent, simply making such criticism in public was a watershed.
The tribes, we believe in the Hashemite monarchy, said Habashneh, the retired general and one of the signers. When this trust itself is being touched, then there is serious danger.

Parshah Balak - Numbers 22:2-25:9

SINCE WHAT ISRAEL READS WILL BE FULFILLED IN THAT WEEK I WILL BE PUTTING THE WEEKLY TORAH PORTION ON FOR ALL OF US TO KEEP TRACK OF ISRAEL HAPPENINGS.

TORAH PORTION FROM JULY 03,2011 6PM - JULY 09,6PM 2011

NUMBERS 22:2 - 25:9
2 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
4 And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
5 He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:
6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
7 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
8 And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
9 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
10 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
12 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
15 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
16 And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:
17 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
18 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
22 And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.
23 And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
25 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:
33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.
35 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
36 And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.
37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?
38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
41 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people.

NUMBERS 23:1-30
1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
4 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
14 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.
16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?
18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.
28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.

NUMBERS 24:1-25
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.

NUMBERS 25:1-9
1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

PROPHETS PORTION

MICAH 5:5 - 6:8
5 And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
6 And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
9 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:
11 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:
12 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
13 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.
14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
1 Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
2 Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD’S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.
6 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

NEW TESTAMENT PORTION

2 PETER 2:1-21
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

JUDE 11
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

REVELATION 2:14-15
14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

AMOS 9:10
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

DANIEL 11:40-45
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south( EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) and the king of the north (RUSSIA AND MUSLIM HORDES OF EZEK 38+39) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But tidings out of the east(CHINA 2ND WAVE OF WW3) and out of the north(RUSSIA, MUSLIMS WHATS LEFT FROM WAVE 1) shall trouble him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.( 1/3RD OF EARTHS POPULATION)
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

REVELATION 14:18-20
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city,(JERUSALEM) and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.(200 MILES) (THE SIZE OF ISRAEL)

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

About The Ongoing Iranian Missile Tests…
June 30, 2011 By Sean Osborne
http://homelandsecurityus.com/archives/5025

30 June 2010: For quite a few years now I’ve watched and kept track of OSINT reports regarding Iran’s development-in-depth of numerous ballistic missile systems. Just for reference sake you can read them HERE, HERE and HERE.My assessment has always held that there is only one purpose for such development – placing a nuclear warhead onto a distant target. Recently the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) told us point blank what has always been assumed, that being the Iranian warhead’s targets are American military bases and Israeli cities. The difference between my earlier assessments on Iranian nuclear missile capabilities then and now is that now iran can launch these missiles from hardened siloes with little or no warning. Within a day of the IRGC announcement British Foreign Secretary William Hague publicly confirmed the secret nature of the testing as well as the testing in the ongoing Great Prophet Six exercises the IRGC is executing.

Have you heard or read anything of a similar nature coming from Foreign Secretary Hague’s American counterpart, SECSTATE Hillary Clinton? How about a word from her boss in the White House? That’s right, you’ve gotten exactly zero, zip, nada from them about this. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find a single American corporate news article on this subject or Foreign Secretary Hague’s accusations. Instead the White House and the U.S. State Department have been downplaying the accelerating Iranian regime’s progress in the field of precipitating a non-existent al-Mahdi-hastening Armageddon scenario. Yet at her SECSTATE swearing in ceremony Hillary Clinton was keen to lecture those in attendance how we’re going to have to be smarter about how we do what we must for our country.As for Barry Soetoro, his most recent State of the Union address did not have so much as a single mention of the Iranian threat. Iraq, Al Qaeda, Afghanistan, Pakistan and North Korea all merited a mention, but not Iran. My best guess is that he doesn’t see the Iranian threat as a problem in need of fixing. Well, so much for Barry’s defeating determined enemies wherever they are comment in that address. I guess Iran is one very real threat that Barry has missed altogether. Would somebody please bring his morning briefer up to speed. Thanks in advance.

Israel and the west in the cross hairs
Posted on June 29, 2011 by Laurie Roth

While we find ourselves stuck in the election Disneyland primary rides, some folks are screaming, some are fainting with fear, many are puking and others watch from the sides. We have only just begun the election madness on all sides and see the theatre of the absurd while other critical things unfold before our distracted eyes.While Obama promises the world and emases more money from known and mystery donors, it is easy not to notice endless elephants running through the living room destroying everything in site. While the Middle East continues to melt down and leadership gets challenged by internal and more radically funded and organized groups, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, Iran flexes its muscle and flips off the West and Israel.Iran’s Revolutionary Guards fired off 14 missiles this week that can strike targets in the U.S. and all of Israel. Naturally, we heard one of their leaders, Brigadier General Amir Hajizadeh, state that Europe was completely safe. These weren’t for them but rather they were simply to provide a defense against Israel and America. You know….because we have forces in the gulf. Iran’s missiles are not small fry. They can travel a range of 1,250 miles and others can travel 2,000 miles. We all know that Iran’s missile program is a huge part of their bold and defiant goal to launch nuclear weapons, where they can easily strike the U.S. and Israel.

Naturally, Tehran denies all this, in fact they are playing politically correct in their lying statements. They said that their latest exercise was really a ‘message of peace and friendship.’ Isn’t that special? Were they studying our politically correct ‘stuck on stupid crowd’ Jimmy Carter, unemployed movie stars and media here? We all know that shooting off missiles and planning to attach nuclear weapons to them, per their own words over the years, is about peace and kindness. I feel the love, don’t you? I’m a little distracted by the body parts and blood in Israel and the US but oh….the friendship of it all.Some say that by August Iran will have Nuclear capability. The threats to Israel and the west have been in place for several years. While the threats have leaked out here and there from the Madi seeking mouth of Ahmadinejad, they play the Saul Alinsky play book of distraction so the UN, Israel and U.S. stay out of their face. It seems to be working beautifully with Obama.The UN, America and Israel knows that Ahmadinejad has a terrorist past and has threatened us all, but pretends that he won’t be a danger once the nuclear path is secure and complete. The whole time we have looked the other way, Iran has morphed dramatically closer to becoming nuclear and completing their attack strategy. How beautiful for Ahmadinejad. While the west is attacking in Libya and election madness is building, media and leaders aren’t looking at me, my evil plans and nuclear development.Is Ahmadinejad simply exercising his sovereign rights as the leader of his country?

I would normally say yes, except for his terrorist, kidnapping, and torturing past. Then there are his chronic and continuous threats to the west and Israel with demonstrated insanity and out of touch reality. Remember, he has hosted international conferences with many speakers talking of how the Holocaust never happened and the Jews were never murdered by the Nazis in WW11. Never mind the hundreds of thousands of witnesses who were there, many still alive, some of whom I have talked to myself.Ahmadinejad, is an anti-Semitic, Christian and freedom hating Islamic who dreams of the Madi coming out of the well and he knows this can’t happen until an end of days battle. He believes he is the conduit and method for that happening. No danger here letting him go nuclear. It’s all about friendship and providing energy.My one suggestion for Ammedinajad is that he jump in the well and wait for the Madi to come out. My other suggestion is for American to wake up and us put a real leader in the White House who will get away from the mirror and actually defend us.


DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.

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

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

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

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

EU states object to transparency in law-making-
LEIGH PHILLIPS 30.06.2011 @ 18:13 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - EU member states are set to launch an appeal of a lower court decision with the European Court of Justice hoping to prevent greater transparency in decision-making - even about transparency rules themselves.Anxious that a recent landmark court ruling could radically open up to public scrutiny decision-making in the Council of Ministers - the European Union's upper house, or the institution representing the member states - a full 20 EU countries have jumped aboard an appeal of the decision.According to EU law, the result of all legislative votes in the Council must be made public. But long before this stage of the process, most of the real negotiations happen at a working-group level - and the secrecy of positions at this stage are jealously guarded by all those involved.Earlier this year, Access Info, a Spanish transparency NGO that aids journalists and citizens in making freedom of information requests across Europe, got wind that some member states in a Council working group in late 2008 had proposed amendments to water down existing EU transparency rules.Their request for the document naming the countries pushing in this direction was effectively denied - it was released but with all the country names blacked out - and the group appealed the decision with the EU General Court in Luxembourg. The UK and Greece intervened in the case arguing against greater openness.

In March, the court ruled that the Council must indeed reveal the identities of the member states taking these positions.EUobserver has since learnt that a clear majority of EU countries are now to appeal the ruling to the European Court of Justice, frightened that it sets a precedent that would force the Council to release the names of member states and the positions they take in all working groups.Such a development would radically roll back the diplomatic secrecy that has been the norm in the Council since its origins with the European Coal and Steel Community in 1957.
An EU source told EUobserver that potentially the positions of states on all subjects and discussions at the level of working group could be opened up for public scrutiny: The decision-making process as established, the 'space to think' must be protected. This is what is at stake.An April Council document minuting discussions on the subject notes A clear majority of delegations indicated their support for an appeal,and one source close the matter told EUobserver that a full 20 member states are backing the legal action.Finland however, abstained from voting on whether to mount an appeal, and told its fellow EU states that it is happy to see the positions of the country released.The Nordic country has a tradition of freedom of governmental information legislation dating back as far as 1766, when it was still a Swedish-governed territory.Helen Darbishire, the director of Access Info explained to this website why it is the identities of countries taking positions in the working groups that counts, rather than the final vote that is meaningful.There are hundreds of working groups, but there is no public list of their members. They don't keep minutes and this is where the real negotiations are made,she said. Some 85 percent of all EU laws are decided in the 150 working groups and committees consisting of delegates from the member states.The vote at the end is frankly just a bit of theatre. It doesn't show you anything about the process that has gone on. By the end, most decisions are unanimous, so you have no idea about who is responsible, who is taking different positions.

What you read on the Council website about transparency is really misleading to the public because that only represents a fraction of the process, not where the debate about future legislation takes place.Founded as a formation essentially involving negotiations between diplomats from the foreign affairs departments of the different member states, the EU and the Council working methods in particular have had more in common with the secret bargaining in matters of war, defence and peace-making than the openness of parliamentary tradition for other matters of law, say critics of EU decision-making.EU diplomats for their part argue that they need to protect this secrecy to enable freer discussion than would be permitted if there were greater public scrutiny of the process.We believe that disclosing the delegation that has put forward certain proposals would limit member states' opportunity for frank and candid policy discussion,one diplomat told EUobserver.Explaining why the Council and a majority of member states will be appealing the case, the source said the legal action is necessary in order to prevent its decision-making processes from being undermined.The member states have indicated that if they lose the case, they will simply switch to verbal agreements and limiting what is committed to paper so that such documents cannot be released as they would not exist.During the initial case before the General Court, pressed by judges to explain how the decision-making process is harmed by disclosure, [the Council] said that if these documents are to be made public, we'll just have to stop putting things in writing,according to Darbishire.

Italian cabinet passes austerity package
HONOR MAHONY Today JULY 1,11 @ 09:16 CET

The Italian cabinet on Thursday passed a series of austerity measures aimed at balancing the budget by 2014 and stopping the eurozone crisis spreading.The package, containing €47 billion of deficit cuts, curbs the budgets of government ministries and local authorities. It will have to be passed by parliament within two months.With today's measures we completed our path towards a balanced budget,said finance minister Giulio Tremonti while presenting the package.Credit rating agencies, which have been toying with the idea of downgrading Italy, will be closely watching how the debate and ensuing vote play out with Italy in the past struggling to get reforms agreed.The reforms are needed to boost growth in the eurozone's most sluggish economy. Growth is needed if Italy is to have any chance of cutting its massive public debt, lying at 120 percent of GDP.But analysts have already criticised the fact that most of the measures will only take place in 2013 and 2014.

On the same day Portugal announced a one-off levy on incomes and said it would speed up reforms to meet the terms of its €78bn EU-IMF bailout.Portuguese prime minister Pedro Passos Coelho made the announcement before parliament after the National Statistics Institute published worse-than-expected data for the first part of this year.The institute said that the deficit fell to 8.7 percent of GDP at the end of the first quarter. But under the terms of its bailout it has to cut its deficit to 5.9 percent of GDP this year and to 3 percent in 2013.Meanwhile, the EU watched with relief as the Greek parliament on Thursday agreed a law to implement a further round of austerity and privatisation measures.The vote paves the way for an emergency meeting of eurozone finance ministers on Sunday where they have to agree to release €8.7bn to Greece, part of last year's EU-IMF €110bn bailout.Agreement on the IMF tranche is expected next week. The Sunday meeting is also expected to discuss the broad outline for a second bailout for the debt-stricken country.While the unpopular measures have regularly caused strikes and protests in Greece and Portugal, non-eurozone Britain was also hit by a large public sector walk out as thousands of teachers and civil servants protested planned pension cuts.Some 104,000 civil servants went on strike while about 27 percent of schools were closed. However, the government was quick to point out that this was less than had been predicted by trade unions.

A short guide to the Polish presidency
HONOR MAHONY 07.01.2011 @ 11:15 CET

With Poland taking over the presidency of the European Union on 1 July, EUobserver presents a short non-exhaustive guide:Calendar restraints - Being a second-half-of-the-year presidency, Warsaw will fall afoul of the EU's famously extended holiday period. Most of the Brussels EU elite starts disappearing in July. The EU capital re-emerges as a complete political city only around the beginning of September. The same Brussels evacuation starts to take place around the middle of December, too. So, the period for getting things done is short.Polling day - And while the effective calendar months are short, so may the attention span of Polish politicians be. National elections will be held in October. Polish officials promise otherwise, but the call of the local constituency will likely prove more alluring than that of Brussels. Meanwhile, a win for the opposition Jaroslaw Kaczynski will see politicians, in handover mode, distracted for the remainder of the six-month stint too. And, in that case, everyone else will be wondering whether it means a return to the abrasive politics of previous administrations.

Defence - It might seem an inauspicious time to want to start talking about EU defence, what with the EU's less-than-exemplary display of unity over Libya, but Poland is going to persevere anyway. If we had civilian and military planning capacity we would have been much effective at the outset of the crisis in Libya, says Europe minister Mikolaj Dowgielewicz.Warsaw is neither naive about EU defence of afraid to start a conversation about it. (The it includes battlegroups and a permanent military headquarters). And to be fair, no one else is rushing to talk about defence at the moment. It falls to EU top diplomat Catherine Ashton. But she is too busy trying to do several other jobs at once. And Poland has a point when it says is the only country with any military credibility to hold the presidency since France and the only one for quite some time into the future. This is not a debate Denmark and Cyprus can kick off.Eastern Partnership - This is where Poland has a chance to shine. The recognised lead member state when it comes to countries on the EU's eastern borders, it wants to see real progress - on association agreements - with Ukraine and Moldova. An Eastern Partnership Summit in September in Warsaw is meant to give the policy – which has fallen down the political agenda - a boost. Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt recently said the initiative is as significant as the Lisbon Treaty. The problem is getting other bigger member states - read France and Germany - to think like that. More cash would be good too. See below.

EU budget talks - The European Commission will this summer publish its first proposals for the EU's 2014-2020 budget, a moment that marks the traditional beginning of table-thumping disagreement until the thing is signed and sealed, usually at the last possible minute about two years later. Poland - very keen on seeing the EU's cohesion funds maintained - is shackled to a neutral position because it is the presidency country. But it hopes to project its budgetary views well beyond its presidency by producing a serious paper for discussion in 2012. It plans 12 technical meetings and two ministerial meetings on the budget.Energy security - This is a biggie for the Poles. They want the EU to be energy-independent of Russia. And they particularly want Poland to be energy-independent of Russia. This has resulted in some near-evangelical talk about Shale - the unconventional gas apparently in great quantities in Poland and which Warsaw has indicated it would like to exploit. If commercial exploitation is possible - and it remains a big if - the gas would both eventually end the country's heavy reliance on the dirtier coal and on Russia. Environmentalists are sceptical. But expect more talk anyway.

The economy - Poland is outside the eurozone - though looking to come in - and so lacks clout here. It is not automatically privy to discussions on economic governance or competitiveness, something brought home in March.However it has an ace up its sleeve: its economy is doing relatively well and the only country in the EU at no point to have tipped into recession during the recent economic crisis. So even if it is not inside the room, it can feel somewhat superior outside it. And its finance minister will chair ecofin - the full complement of EU finance ministers - meetings. Warsaw's main focus will be on implementing the new Single Market Act. It also wants to try and achieve something more ephemeral - economic optimism. According to Dowgielewicz, Point two on our to-do list as a presidency is to try to create a better narrative about the European economy.Arguably a task that alone would be tricky enough for any single presidency.One to watch - On the high-flying foreign minister, Radek Sikorski, opinions are divided. Some say that he has no interest in Poland's EU presidency and so will not help more committed members of the administration to make it a success. Others point to the fact that he has been quick to carve out a role for himself alongside Cathy Ashton. Sikorski is keen to take the lead on eastern neighbourhood issues. But Poland also sees its approach to its eastern neighbourhood as a model for the EU to take towards countries in its southern neighbourhood. This gave Sikorski the perfect excuse to pay a highly publicised visit to Libya in May - the first Western foreign minister to go the country since the uprising began. Sikoroski points out that the trip was agreed with Ashton beforehand. Nevertheless, his interactions with Ashton - weakened by internal criticism - throughout the presidency will be something to keep an eye on.

Stress test - Poland will take over the presidency with the EU creaking at the seams. Centre-right MEP Jacek Saryusz-Wolski puts it thus: All other presidencies have had difficult challenges but none of them have had such a culmination of difficulties. The Union is undergoing a stress test in terms of the euro, in terms of schengen, in terms of ESDP and in terms of [its] neighbourhood. All that put together makes this presidency extremely challenging. More and more, Poland sees that new member states will have take upon their shoulders the defence of the acquis of the old [member states].Logo - There is a long and proud tradition of EU presidency logos. It is not really clear why they are needed (especially in these post-Lisbon mini-presidency times) but they are always unveiled with a something of a flourish. They also usually attract more interest than the presidency programmes themselves. Past star logos include Belgium's 2001 showing with Magritte's hat, while Italy's 2003 effort was something of a flop, where it remained something of a small mystery as to why the E of EU was backwards. Poland's logo meanwhile is inspired by the by the iconic flag of Solidarnosc and was designed by the very artist who designed that movement's symbol so many years ago.The last word - And according to the somewhat ominous words of European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, presidency countries can never be too prepared.My message to the Polish presidency is: Be prepared, because something may happen.Famous events of past presidencies include the Russia-Georgia war under France's watch and the teetering and then utter collapse of the Czech government in the middle of its presidency.

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)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
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.

Nato rules out military intervention in Syria
ANDREW RETTMAN 30.06.2011 @ 18:24 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Nato head Anders Fogh Rasmussen has said there will be no military intervention in Syria despite similar levels of government-sponsored violence as in Libya.Speaking in Vienna on Thursday (30 June) after a meeting with foreign minister Michael Spindelegger, the Nato chief told press: We do not foresee any intervention in Syria. In Libya, we are working on the basis of a UN mandate with the support of countries in the region. The conditions on Syria are not similar.
Syrian tanks on Wednesday reportedly killed 11 people in the Turkey border area, with the death count since unrest began three months ago estimated at some 1,500 people.The Syrian military build-up on the Turkish frontier has raised fears of a clash between the two rival powers in the region.Regional tensions intensified further on Thursday following reports that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), an EU-and-US-backed judicial body set up to investigate the assassination of a Lebanese leader in 2005, has indicted four Hezbollah officials.Hezbollah is an ally of Syrian leader Bashar Assad, with analysts saying the guerrilla army could seek a conflict with Israel to distract from the STL process or the Assad repressions.

UK foreign minister William Hague in the British parliament on Wednesday spoke of Lybia and Syria in the same breath as two regimes guilty of brutalities which threaten to destabilise neighbouring states.We can stand up against repression and violence, which we have seen taken to extremes in Libya and Syria, he said.But he noted that a Franco-British draft UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution on Syria, which condemns violence but is far softer than UNSC 1973 authorising military strikes in Libya, does not have enough backing to be put to a vote.He also declined to follow France in saying that Syrian leader Bashar Assad should step down.If we are to maintain international unity of pressure on Syria, we must be careful in how we phrase such things, Hague noted.Foreign policy is not conducted in a bunker, where we do not communicate with people with whom we disagree. We [still] havediplomatic relations with Syria,he added.Nato's Rasmussen and Hague in the two seprate fora defended Nato's actions in Libya against accusations that it has overstepped its mandate to protect civilians.Rasmussen said there is no mission creep and ruled out use of ground forces, but noted that operations will continue until Gaddafi is out of power as the only guarantee of a peaceful transition.Reacting to MPs' questions that Nato strikes in Tripoli seem to be aimed at killing Colonel Gaddafi, Hague said: To characterise the campaign as an assassination campaign is wrong ... Our targeting depends on the behaviour of those involved, and it has included the command systems of the Gaddafi regime.Perception that Nato is in the business of regime change in Libya rather than protecting civilians, as mandated by UNSC 1973, is the main reason for opposition to any UN move on Syria in key swing UNSC voters - Brazil, India and South America.

THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

Tropical storm brings heavy rain to central Mexico
By MIGUEL ANGEL HERNANDEZ, Associated Press – Thu Jun 30, 11:47 pm ET

VERACRUZ, Mexico – The Atlantic season's first tropical storm swirled over Mexico's central Gulf coast Thursday, bringing heavy rains to a wide swath of the country but causing little damage.The heart of Tropical Storm Arlene struck land near Cabo Rojo, a cape just off the mainland between the cities of Tampico and Tuxpan. Arlene weakened to a tropical depression late Thursday and was expected to dissipate Friday.
Authorities had worried heavy rains could cause flash floods and mudslides in 13 states.Mexico's National Water Commission said that by Thursday night the depression was on the border between the states of Hidalgo and San Luis Potosi and that heavy to torrential rains were expected there and in nine other states, including Mexico City.Incessant rain fell in the city and its metropolitan area, where the Remedios River, which carries sewage water, overflowed in the suburb of Ecatepec.Ecatepec Mayor Indalecio Rios told the newspaper El Universal that he was urging residents in three neighborhoods that flooded to go to shelters set up by the city.In neighboring Hidalgo state, the rain caused at least six landslides along a highway that connects the state to the Gulf coast city of Tampico, authorities said.The storm was welcomed in northern Tamaulipas state, where rain fell on soil dried out by the most severe drought to hit the area in 50 years.There is nothing to regret and so far the rains have been favorable, Tamaulipas state Civil Protection Secretary Pedro Benavides said.We hope it keeps raining.Coastal towns in Veracruz and Tamaulipas states appeared to have escaped serious damage.

In the port city of Tampico, authorities said there was minor flooding in some low-laying neighborhoods. Beaches in the nearby cities of Madero and Altamira remained closed and small vessels were warned to stay docked.Arlene had maximum sustained winds of 65 mph (100 kph) and was moving inland at 8 mph (13 kph) Thursday evening, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.Tree branches fell, water accumulated on some streets and a neighborhood of Tuxpan lost electricity, Veracruz state civil protection authorities reported.There aren't any major problems, (and) we hope Arlene will be out of sight by midday, Veracruz Gov. Javier Duarte tweeted Thursday. He credited preparations ahead of the storm.Officials in the states of Veracruz, Tamaulipas and San Luis Potosi had guarded against possible flooding by closing schools, mobilizing emergency medical units and preparing evacuation shelters as rain fell on coastal and mountain regions.Mexico's national weather service said 6 inches (150 millimeters) of rain fell over a 24-hour period in northern Veracruz state.Associated Press writers Efrain Klerigan in Ciudad Victoria and Emilio Lopez in Pachuca contributed to this report.

Japan begins power restrictions
– Fri Jul 1, 3:45 am ET

TOKYO (AFP) – Japan on Friday began restricting electricity consumption in the Tokyo and Tohoku regions, more than three months after a tsunami sent nuclear reactors into meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi plant.The power-saving drive, which for many began shortly after the huge March 11 quake and tsunami but which became official Friday, will last through the peak summer months to September to cut blackout risks after the loss of capacity.Large companies that violate the decree to cut useage by 15 percent will face fines of up to one million yen ($12,400). Smaller users and households have also been asked to voluntarily cut power use by 15 percent.To cope, Japan has taken its annual summer Cool Biz campaign -- aimed at limiting air conditioner use and encouraging workers to ditch jackets and ties -- to a new level.

Factories have changed shifts to make use of cooler evenings, early mornings and lower-demand weekends, prompting nursery schools to also open weekends to cater for the needs of working parents.Companies such as Sony have brought their business days forward by an hour in order to finish earlier.Railway operators have increased train services in the early morning to coincide with moves by Japanese firms to start the work day earlier.The power-saving restrictions will be in effect through to September 22 in Tokyo Electric's service area and through September 9 in Tohoku Electric's territory.Hospitals providing emergency treatment and shelters for evacuees from the March 11 disaster are exempted. The reduction target will be relaxed to up to 10 percent for medical, nursing-care and transportation service providers.On Wednesday temperatures soared to 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) in Tokyo and air conditioner use pushed consumption to 93 percent of capacity, raising fears that the capital may yet face blackouts as the summer heats up.Even utilities not directly affected by the earthquake and tsunami have not restarted nuclear reactors that were undergoing maintenance at the time, due to objections from local governments amid a wave of anti-nuclear sentiment.Only 19 of Japan's 54 reactors are now operating, with more due to shut down for regular checks. Japan usually generates about 30 percent of its power from nuclear plants.Ratings agency Moody's on Friday said it had downgraded the ratings of nine Japanese utilities, citing increased regulatory uncertainty following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear plant.There are worries that restrictions on power consumption may slow the country's recovery from recession, after the earthquake and tsunami hammered Japanese production and the economy contracted by an annualised 3.5 percent in January-March.

Royal couple marks Canada day on world debut tour
AFPBy Michel Comte | AFP – JULY 1,11

Princess Catherine on Friday will celebrate Canada's national holiday on her international debut with Prince William as crowds throng to catch a glimpse of Britain's newest royal couple.Packed with pomp and pageantry, the North American tour comes just two months after a radiant Kate Middleton walked down the aisle in a fairytale royal wedding watched by an estimated two billion people worldwide.The couple were to cap off their visit to the capital by joining tens of thousands of revellers outside parliament for musical performances and fireworks to celebrate Canada's national holiday.Canadians turned out en masse for a glimpse or a handshake as Middleton, now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, arrived in Ottawa on Thursday wearing a navy lace dress by Montreal-born designer Erdem Moralioglu.Welcome to Canada, honeymoon capital of the Commonwealth,said Governor General David Johnston.

The couple's arrival at the National War Memorial in downtown Ottawa triggered excited screams from an estimated 10,000-strong crowd -- several of the women wearing fascinators, the hair accessory of choice for the duchess.There he is.There's our future king,Pat Snair shouted from the fringes of the crowd as the 29-year-old newlyweds stepped from the cortege to place a bouquet of flowers before the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.While Prince William, second in line to the British throne, has plenty of experience at royal duties, Kate is a relative rookie. But it was clearly the elegant woman from Berkshire, southeast England that many in the crowd had come to see.She represents the future of the monarchy, she's excitement and youth,said Denise, in her 60s.William is OK, but Kate is fascinating, added two teenage girls.The princess was cool under fire and showed no outward signs of nerves on her first overseas walkabout, smiling broadly and exchanging polite banter as she shook hands with the crowd for longer than the intended hour.I'm hoping to find romance like theirs,said one wildly-impressed teenage girl.From the war memorial unveiled in 1939 by William's great-grandparents King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, who established a tradition with the first royal walkabout, the show then moved on to the official residence of the governor general, the vice-regal representative of Queen Elizabeth II.Catherine and I are so delighted to be here in Canada, William said.

We have been looking forward to this moment for a very long time. Quite separately, before we were married, we had both had a longing to come here, instilled in us by our parents and grandparents.He spoke in both of Canada's official languages, French and English, and to laughs vowed his French would improve over the course of this trip.The geography of this country is world-renowned, as is the hospitality of its peoples,William said.Support for the monarchy hovers above 50 percent in Canada and has risen from last year when Queen Elizabeth II visited, although there is still a vocal anti-monarchist minority planning to protest in Quebec City on Sunday.In addition to official and military ceremonies, the royal schedule has lighter moments planned, such as a cooking class, an aboriginal sports event and a rodeo.Later Thursday, the royals attended a barbecue with 120 young Canadians at the residence of the governor general, where they are spending the night. A downpour, however, forced the event indoors.William, in a buttoned down shirt slightly open at the collar, khakis and brown loafers, put his arm around the princess's waist to guide her around the room, chatting with guests.Kate changed into a black and white dress by Issa for dinner, where a gourmet menu included Quebec cheeses, New Brunswick oysters, Qikiqtarjuaq sea urchins, musk ox prosciutto and potato-crusted Alberta yak tartar.On Saturday they will embark on a countrywide tour, taking a cooking class in Montreal before travelling on to Quebec City, Charlottetown, Yellowknife and Calgary.
Prior to their final stop in Canada, the newlyweds are expected to sneak away on a romantic getaway to a secluded and undisclosed location in the Rocky Mountains.After wrapping up their Canadian tour, they will travel to California for a three-day visit on July 8-10 whose highlight will be a black-tie celebrity reception for British filmmakers in Los Angeles.
