DANIEL 2:31-45 King James Bible
31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
DANIEL 7:1-8,17 King James Bible
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
DANIEL 7:23-24
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast(THE EU,REVIVED ROME) shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,(7TH WORLD EMPIRE) which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.(TR BLOCKS)
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise:(10 NATIONS) and another shall rise after them;(#11 SPAIN) and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.(BE HEAD OF 3 KINGS OR NATIONS).
THE EU DICTATOR
REVELATION 6:1-2,13:1-3,7-9,16
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.(THIS IS THE EU DICTATOR)
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.(7 HEADS ARE THE 7TH WORLD EMPIRE IN HISTORY (THE EU) AS WELL AS THE VATICAN WHICH IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS. 10 HORNS ARE 10 KINGS THAT ARISE FROM THE EU, THEN #11 COMES ON THE SCENE BECOMES THE HEAD OF 3 OUNTRIES AND THEN THE EU DICTATOR, COMES FROM 1 OF THE 3 COUNTRIES THAT RULE FOR THIS TERM. I BELIEVE THE 3 COUNTRIES RULING AT THE TIME ARE SPAIN AND 2 OF THE ORIGINAL 6 THAT STARTED THE EU. FROM 1 OF THESE 3 COUNTRIES COME THE FUTURE EU DICTATOR PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION WHO GUARENTEES ISRAELS SECURITY FOR A LAND FOR PEACE 7 YEAR TREATY.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.(THE JEWISH EU DICTATOR GETS HIS POWER FROM SATAN,HE COMES FROM THE OCCULT).
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.(THE DICTATOR HAS A FALSE RESURRECTION. JUST LIKE JESUS HAD A LITERAL RESURRECTION THIS DICTATOR GETS MURDERED AT THE 3 1/2 YR MARK OF THR 7 YEAR TREATY AND COMES BACK TO LIFE. THIS IS HOW HE CAN CLAIM TO BE GOD AND GET AWAY WITH IT AND CONTROL THE WHOLE EARTH.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
DANIEL 11:36-40
36 And the king shall do according to his will;(EU PRESIDENT) and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers,(THIS EU DICTATOR IS A EUROPEAN JEW) nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces:(HES A MILITARY GINIUS) and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds (CONTROL HEZBOLLAH,AL-QUAIDA MURDERERS ETC) with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many,(HIS ARMY LEADERS) and shall divide the land for gain.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south(EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR PROTECTING ISRAELS SECURITY) and the king of the north(RUSSIA) 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.
A FALSE PROPHET COMES FROM THE VATICAN (EU) ALSO AT THIS TIME.
REVELATION 13:11-18
11 And I beheld another beast (False Pope) coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb,(Christianity) and he spake as a dragon.(Satanic)
12 And he (Pope) exerciseth all the power of the first beast (eu Dictator)before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast,(Eu Dictator) whose deadly wound was healed.(killed and came to life again)
13 And he (false Pope) doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;(Dictator) saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast,(eu Dictator) which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he (False Pope)had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.(beheaded)
16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
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
REVELATION 17:1-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:(Vatican in Rome)
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.(Vatican in Politics)
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy,(satanic) having seven heads (7 mountains - Hills) and ten horns.(10 nations or Kings)(THE EU).
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(Vatican in Europe EU)
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen,(Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece) and one is, (in power in Johns day - Rome) and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. (REVIVED ROME - 7 YRS)
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. (Vatican)
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.(nuke her)
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. (Vatican)

European Union - The Grand Experiment
By Ivan Simic in Belgrade
The European Union (EU) is a multinational union, established in 1993. The EU is made up of twenty-seven Member States. First, the EU was established as the European Economic Community in 1957 by the Treaty of Rome and has since undergone many changes. The EU has a single market between member states with common trade policy. Important EU institutions and bodies include the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the European Union, the European Court of Justice and the European Central Bank, among others. The end of War World II brought the idea for the unification of Europe, now known as the EU, but some individuals or groups also known as world rulers needed to conduct an experiment before the formation of an important super power such as the EU. And soon, they succeeded; the right person for them was Josip Broz Tito leader of Communist Party and lifetime President of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRJ). With the Royal family in exile and a post war atmosphere in Europe, Tito became famous, an ideal partner for this experiment.
Many will wonder why Yugoslavia? The answer is very simple; besides the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), which was too powerful, to play with, she was the only post war country in Europe with multiethnic and multicultural population, and Member Republics.
In 1945, from the remains of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia; the Democratic Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was proclaimed, headed by Tito. Tito becomes Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs.The experiment begins; one State with six republics, one army, one currency, one federal police, one federal Government and Law, one passport, no borders and a visa regime among republics, and most of all: every Republic had their own Government with all vital institutions. Still, one very important thing for this experiment was the fact that Yugoslavia had different cultures and religions among State members, such as: Orthodox, Catholic and Muslim. The way the population is going to live in these circumstances was essential for the future of the EU.In 1948, Tito makes one interesting move, highly motivated; he becomes the first socialist to defy Stalin's leadership in COMINFORM also known as Information Bureau (Inform biro). This move by Tito gains him good positions with all Western powers, of course his old friends, but bad relations with the USSR. For good results and loyalty to the West, In London in 1954, Yugoslavia gets zone B from Free Territories of Trieste by treaty based on the Memorandum of Understanding.On the other side, with the first results of the experiment, formation of the future European Union begins with European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1952. Let us not forget that coal and steel were, and still are, very important in war and industry. A very important founding member of this Community was West Germany. A few years later, the Treaties of Rome in 1957 created two more communities created: the European Economic Community (EEC) and European Atomic Energy Community (EAEC or EURATOM). The EEC and EAEC later merge into EEC in 1967.
Strangely, but as previously arranged, Tito is chosen for SFRJ to be free Eastern European country, independent from the USSR, and neither member of Warsaw pact nor NATO, but in 1961, Tito puts Yugoslavia to be a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). Membership in NAM did not affect the experiment since Yugoslavia was the only European country in the Movement at that time, but it did affect future of Yugoslavia.Time is running, and in the mid eighties, Tito dies, but the experiment continues. The West needs a few more years before final announcement of new European Union. Europe is rapidly altering, many countries have joined EEC.At the beginning of nineties, Europe is about to change forever. In Yugoslavia a new government is forming headed by Slobodan Milosevic, the experiment is about to end, mission is about to be accomplished. World rulers are entering the final phase before the formation of the EU. With the USA battling Gulf War in Middle East, in Europe, history has been written; Germany's reunification takes place in 1990, followed by; dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1991, dissolution of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992, dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1992, and wide spread fall of communist monopoly.
As planned, the new Europe comes into being in the year 1993, and with no threats on the way, a new star was born, European Union. Just a few months after termination of the USSR in which America had a big influence, the USA got a new rival; the EU. This rival will become more influential and powerful than any other country or Union in the world, more powerful than the old USSR.Two questions arise from this: First, did world rulers decide to put European Union instead of the USA as a leader of a free world and first super power? Second, who are those rulers and where were they coming from? Answer for the first question is yes, they did, and as always, the USA was used. Second: We will never know who they are, but they are definitely coming from Germany, they are not Jews as many think, if they were Jews then they would have had their own State long time ago.If we turn back and look through European history, Germany was not defeated as many thought, they played very smart; waited and planned to return stronger than ever and they did through the EU, as leader and strongest Member State. Germany was, and still is the Union's biggest net contributor; with the biggest economy, she is responsible for about 23% of the EU budget. Same is with Japan and the USA; it looks like Japan was also not defeated in the USA-Japan war. Now, Japan is the strongest independent economic and industrial power on the earth, most Japanese products is represented in the USA. In contemporary days, power is not measured through weapons, rather through strongest industry.
Will the EU have an equal rival in the future?
It will; a true rival for the EU will be a future Union with lots of money and same religion among member States as an advantage (maybe, Union of Islamic countries?).However, maybe we are being deceived with the EU; perhaps the EU is just another world experiment before the launch of another giant global Union.

HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER
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.
NEW WORLD DISORDER
Are Iran, Russia, China behind dollar's free-fall?
Some see Currency Cold War meant to bring U.S. to its knees
October 2, 2007 - 1:00 a.m. Eastern - 2007 WorldNetDaily.com
WASHINGTON – The hottest selling book in China right now is called Currency Wars, which makes the case that the U.S. Federal Reserve is a puppet of the Rothschilds banking dynasty and it has persuaded some top officials Beijing should resist America's demands to appreciate its own undervalued currency, the yuan. This might not be news of concern to most Americans if the U.S. dollar were not in precipitous free-fall, having reached record laws against the euro yesterday. What would it mean if China ever threw its economic weight around by dumping dollars in a major way?
Suffice it to say it is referred to in some quarters as China's financial nuclear option, because it would be the economic equivalent of detonating a thermonuclear weapon in the world's financial markets. But the American dollar's fate is hardly in the hands of the Chinese alone. Other foreign parties suspected of participating in a new Currency Cold War are Iran, Russia and Venezuela. Diane Francis, a financial reporter for the National Post in Canada, says it plainly and boldly: There is a Currency Cold War being waged by Russia, Iran and various allies such as Venezuela.The grand strategy being engineered by Vladimir Putin, she writes, is to force the use of euros as the international monetary standard as a transition to the Russian ruble. This is simply a monetary version of the old Cold War, minus the missiles, she writes.
Experts don't see any short-term reprieve for the falling value of the dollar. Kathy Lien, chief currency strategist with DailyFX.com in the US, told Bloomberg she expects the American dollar to slide even further, forcing more lending rates cuts in the U.S. to stave off recession. It seems like every single passing day we have a new record low in the dollar, and a new record high in the euro, and it's driven by the fact that U.S. data is continuing to deteriorate, she said. If other nations do not follow the U.S. in cutting rates, the slide in the value of the dollar would most likely continue. If the dollar trend continues spiraling downward, the risk is that nations like China – or Japan or Saudi Arabia – which have been buying U.S. Treasury bonds and thereby funding America's deficit, would stop that practice.
That would be the nuclear option.
China, with $1.3 trillion in foreign exchange reserves as a result of the massive and growing $260 billion U.S. trade deficit, has taken huge losses with the falling dollar, given that some 80 percent of China's $1.3 trillion in foreign reserves is held in U.S. dollar assets, largely in U.S. treasury securities. Meanwhile, Song Hongbing, the author of China's runaway bestseller, The Currency Wars, says he's pleasantly surprised at the 200,000 copies his book has sold. He is probably not eager to see the dollar punished as he lives in Washington, D.C. I never imagined it could be so hot and that top leaders would be reading it, he says during a book tour in Shanghai. People in China are nervous about what's going on in financial markets, but they don't know how to handle the real dangers. This book gives them some ideas.Among the research findings that shocked him most was that the Fed is a privately owned and run bank. I just never imagined a central bank could be a private body.Some, meanwhile, are standing on the sidelines cheering the currency wars – seeing them as a way of reducing the power and influence of the imperialistic U.S.
Rohini Hensman, who describes himself as independent scholar, writer and activist based in India and Sri Lanka, says it's about time the U.S. got its comeuppance. As the bombs started falling on Iraq in 2003, I wrote and circulated an appeal entitled 'Boycott the Dollar to Stop the War!, arguing that although the military strength of the U.S. was enormous, its economy was in a mess; with a massive gross national debt, the only reason it could finance its foreign wars and occupations was because of the inflow of over a billion dollars a day from countries accumulating foreign exchange reserves in dollars because it was the world's sole reserve currency. The denomination of the oil trade in dollars made it additionally desirable. With the advent of the euro, however, there was the possibility of an alternative world currency; therefore individuals, institutions and countries opposed to the war on Iraq should refuse to accumulate dollars or use them outside the U.S., because these were activities that helped to finance U.S.-Israeli aggression against Palestinians, Iraqis and Afghanis. After the World Social Forum meeting in 2004, the Boycott Bush Campaign adopted the dollar boycott as part of its strategy.In early trading today, the dollar advanced slightly, prompting gold prices back from 28-year highs set yesterday. The dollar's value against a basket of six major currencies rose slightly to 77.950 from a lifetime low of 77.657 a day earlier. The dollar traded at $1.4223 per euro, stronger than a record low on Monday of $1.4283.
WND has reported the Federal Reserve is in a dilemma.
The stock market has demanded rate cuts, wanting to return to the free credit policies of the Federal Reserve that fueled the liquidity bubble that has boosted home prices and pumped the Dow Jones Industrial Average since 9/11. Yet, the Fed giving in to stock market demands and lowering rates threatens an international dollar sell-off that could lead to a dollar collapse. Former Fed Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan also sparked controversy by suggesting in his recently published book, The Age of Turbulence, the euro is rivaling the dollar as the international foreign exchange reserve currency of choice. The Wall Street Journal recently quoted a rule of thumb advanced by Harvard University economist Kenneth Rogoff, a former chief economist for the International Monetary Fund. According to Rogoff’s back-of-the-envelope calculation, a 20 percent drop in the dollar's exchange value reduces Americans' income by 3 percent, adjusted by inflation.

Magnitude 7.4 quake hits near New Zealand Sun Sep 30, 3:40 AM ET
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 hit some 500 km (300 miles) southwest of New Zealand on Sunday, but there were no reports of damage and authorities discounted the risk of a major tsunami. The quake occurred at around 6:24 p.m. local time, and was felt throughout the south of New Zealand's South Island, said Warwick Smith of state agency GNS Science.
There was initially some concern there may have been a tsunami, but that possibility has now been discounted, Smith said.The quake was near to the Auckland Islands, a group of seven uninhabited islands 467 km south of South Island.A police spokeswoman in Invercargill, a city at the bottom of the South Island, said: It didn't feel that strong to me: many of the people in the station didn't even feel it.Japan's Meteorological Agency put the quake's magnitude at 7.4, while Geoscience Australia said it was 7.6.A spokesman for Geoscience Australia said seismologists were expecting no damage given the distance offshore and might review the magnitude figure.Volcanic arcs and oceanic trenches partly encircling the Pacific Basin form the so-called Ring of Fire, a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and the location of the top 10 earthquakes in the world since 1900. All of the top 10 measured an 8.5 magnitude or above.Earlier on Sunday, a strong earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.1 swayed buildings on the Pacific island of Guam, but there were no immediate reports of damage and no tsunami alert was issued.
Quake near Guam sways buildings Sun Sep 30, 2:36 AM ET
GUAM (Reuters) - A strong earthquake swayed buildings on the Pacific island of Guam on Sunday but there were no immediate reports of damage and no tsunami alert was issued. The magnitude 7.1 quake occurred at 12.09 p.m. local time near the U.S. territory, with its epicenter at a depth of 30 km, Japan's Meteorological Agency said on its Web site (www.jma.go.jp/en/quake).Some residents said high-rise blocks swayed and goods fell off supermarket shelves. But two hours after the quake, local television had reported no damage to buildings on Guam, an island east of the Philippines which is home to a major U.S. military base.We felt it. It was swinging back and forth for a minute or two, said Patrick Chan, a Guam-based meteorologist at the U.S. National Weather Service. It's not expected to cause a tsunami. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, based in Hawaii, said in a statement there was no destructive widespread tsunami threat. Neither Guam nor the Philippines issued tsunami warnings.
The U.S. Geological Survey also recorded a quake in the same area, which it said on its Web site (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter) was of magnitude 6.8 and centered about 345 km (215 miles) south-southeast of Guam.

Tropical storm Lekima leaves 10 dead or missing in Philippines Sun Sep 30, 6:03 PM ET
MANILA (AFP) - Tropical storm Lekima killed nine people and left another missing in the Philippines after unleashing landslides, floods and big waves, rescuers said Sunday. The weather bureau here lowered all cyclone alerts on the main island of Luzon as the storm dissipated into a weaker tropical depression in the South China Sea.A landslide buried two houses in a mountain village near the town of Hingyon late Saturday, killing eight people, the civil defence office here said.One other family member was missing while a nine year-old boy was injured, it said in an updated report.
Meanwhile, a military rescue unit recovered the body of a drowning victim in northern Manila, it said.The storm swept across Luzon with maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometres (40 miles) an hour on Saturday, shutting down ferry services, swelling dams and rivers, and unleashing floods that displaced some 3,400 people, the government agency said.Huge waves also smashed onto the Sarangani coast of the main southern island of Mindanao, damaging 29 houses in the village of San Nicolas.Ferry services between Luzon and the central islands resumed Sunday, but small fishing boats and other craft were warned to stay in port due to big waves.
Melissa weakens in Atlantic Sun Sep 30, 5:01 PM ET
MIAMI - Tropical Storm Melissa weakened into a depression Sunday far out in the open Atlantic while the remnants of Tropical Storm Karen dwindled away in the central Atlantic, forecasters said.
At 5 p.m. EDT, the degenerating remnants of Melissa were centered about 665 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands and posed no immediate threat to land, according to the National Hurricane Center. The system was moving west-northwest near 14 mph, and its maximum sustained winds were near 30 mph — down from 45 mph on Saturday.Karen faded into an area of disturbed weather Sunday and the hurricane center quit issuing advisories for the system. Early Sunday, it was centered about 495 miles east of the Leeward Islands.
In the eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Juliette was about 335 miles off the coast of Mexico but did not threaten land.Meanwhile, Mexican officials reported Sunday that the death toll from Hurricane Lorenzo, which faded after hitting Mexico's Gulf coast on Friday, had risen to six.Forecasters expect this year's Atlantic hurricane season to be busier than average. Last month, they said as many as 16 tropical storms were likely to form, with nine strengthening into hurricanes. The season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30.On the Net:National Hurricane Center: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

Canadian navy: volcano erupts off Yemen OCT 1,07
TORONTO - A volcano has erupted on a tiny island off the coast of Yemen, spewing lava and ash hundreds of feet into the air, a Canadian naval vessel near the island in the Red Sea reported Sunday. There were no immediate reports of deaths, but at least eight people were missing. The Yemeni government asked NATO to assist in searching for survivors on Jabal al-Tair island, which lacks a settled population but includes military installations.
The Yemeni news agency SABA confirmed the eruption and said a military garrison on the island is being evacuated. It wasn't clear how many people were stationed on the island, which is used for naval control and observation because large cargo ships pass nearby.
Ken Allan, a Navy spokesman, said a NATO fleet just outside the territorial waters of the island reported seeing a catastrophic volcanic eruption at 7 p.m. local time. The two-mile-long island is about 70 miles off the coast of Yemen.At this time, the entire island is aglow with lava and magma as it pours down into the sea. We do not have confirmation of how many people were on this island at the time of the eruption, Allan said in an e-mail.The lava is spewing hundreds of feet into the air, with the volcanic ash also (rising) a thousand feet in the air, Allan said.The Canadian Armed Forces said they are trying to locate nine people believed to be at sea after the Yemen coast guard requested help. SABA reported that the Yemeni government said eight people were missing. It is unclear why there was a discrepancy or if the reports were even talking about the same people.The NATO fleet was sailing toward the Suez Canal when it spotted the eruption. The government of Yemen asked NATO to assist in the search for survivors and the closet ship, the HMCS Toronto, is heading toward the island.Yemen is a poor tribal Sunni Muslim country at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula.
SATAN BOOTED OUT OF HEAVEN
ISAIAH 14:12-23
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, (SATAN) son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand.
REVELATION 12:3-4
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon,(SATAN) having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven,( 1/3 OF ANGELS FELL WITH SATAN AT THE FALL) and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman (MARY JESUS MOTHER) which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.(JESUS WAS JEWISH,THIS IS PERSECUSSION AGAINST ISRAEL).
REVELATION 20:2
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
REVELATION 9:14-16
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand:(200 MILLION MAN ARY) and I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
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)
GENESIS 6:1-7
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God (DEMONIC FALLIN ANGELS) came in unto the daughters of men,(INTERCOURSE WITH HUMAN WOMEN) and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
JUDE 6-16
6 And the (DEMONIC FALLIN) angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation,(HAD SEX WITH HUMANS) he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.(THATS OUR DAY NOW)(THESE GET LOOSED AT THE EUPHRATES TO KILL A THIRD PART OF MEN IN WW3).US - IRAQ WAR IS THE UNLOOSING OF THESE DEMONIC DEMONS I BELIEVE.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
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.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.(JESUS)
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
U.S. Embassy rips Iraq partition plan By STEVEN R. HURST, Associated Press Writer OCT 1,07
BAGHDAD - U.S. and Iraqi forces killed more than 60 insurgent and militia fighters in intense battles over the weekend, officials said Sunday. The U.S. Embassy, meanwhile, joined a broad swath of Iraqi politicians — both Shiite and Sunni — in criticizing a nonbinding U.S. Senate resolution seen here as a recipe for splitting the country along sectarian and ethnic lines. The U.S. military also announced the death of an American soldier killed Saturday in a roadside bombing and gunfire attack in eastern Baghdad. There were 62 U.S. military deaths in September, the lowest monthly toll since July 2006 when 43 American soldiers were killed, according to a preliminary Associated Press tally.U.S. aircraft killed more than 20 al-Qaida in Iraq fighters who opened fire on an American air patrol northwest of Baghdad, the U.S. command said.The firefight between U.S. aircraft and the insurgent fighters occurred Saturday about 17 miles northwest of the capital, the military said.
The aircraft observed about 25 al-Qaida insurgents carrying AK-47 assault rifles — one brandishing a rocket-propelled grenade — walking into a palm grove, the military said.Shortly after spotting the men, the aircraft were fired upon by the insurgent fighters, it said.The military did not say what kind of aircraft were involved but the fact that the fighters opened fire suggests they were low-flying Apache helicopters. The command said more than 20 of the group were killed and four vehicles were destroyed. No Iraqi civilians or U.S. soldiers were hurt.Coalition forces have dealt significant blows to Al-Qaida Iraq in recent months, including the recent killing of the Tunisian head of the foreign fighter network in Iraq and the blows struck in the past 24 hours, military spokesman Col. Steven Boylan told The Associated Press.
Iraq's Defense Ministry said in an e-mail Sunday afternoon that Iraqi soldiers had killed 44 terrorists over the past 24 hours. The operations were centered in Salahuddin and Diyala provinces and around the city of Kirkuk, where the ministry said its soldiers had killed 40 and arrested eight. It said 52 fighters were arrested altogether.The ministry did not further identify those killed, but use of the word terrorists normally indicates al-Qaida.In a separate operation, U.S. forces killed two insurgents and detained 21 others during weekend operations against al-Qaida.
Intelligence led to a raid early Sunday that netted what the U.S. military called 15 rogue members of the Mahdi Army militia at an undisclosed Baghdad location.
The mainstream of the militia, the armed wing of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's organization, has been ordered by the religious leader to stop attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces.But many one-time members of the group have split off and are acting independently of al-Sadr's control. Some have gone to Iran for training and are receiving weapons and financing from the Islamic regime in Tehran.The Senate resolution, adopted last week, proposed reshaping Iraq according to three sectarian or ethnic territories. It calls for a limited central government with the bulk of power going to the country's Shiite, Sunni or Kurdish regions, envisioning a power-sharing agreement similar to the one that ended the 1990s war in Bosnia. Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden, a Democrat presidential candidate, was a prime sponsor.
In a highly unusual statement, the U.S. Embassy said resolution would seriously hamper Iraq's future stability.Our goal in Iraq remains the same: a united, democratic, federal Iraq that can govern, defend, and sustain itself, the unsigned statement said.
Iraq's leaders must and will take the lead in determining how to achieve these national aspirations. ... attempts to partition or divide Iraq by intimidation, force or other means into three separate states would produce extraordinary suffering and bloodshed, it said.The statement came just hours after representatives of Iraq's major political parties denounced the Senate proposal.The Kurds in three northern Iraqi provinces are running a virtually independent country within Iraq while nominally maintaining relations with Baghdad. They support a formal division, but both Sunni and Shiite Muslims have denounced the proposal. At a news conference earlier in the day, at least nine Iraqi political parties and party blocs — both Shiite and Sunni — said the Senate resolution would diminish Iraq's sovereignty and said they would try to pass a law to ban any division of the country.
This proposal was based on the incorrect reading and unrealistic estimations of Iraq's past, present and future, according to a statement read at a news conference by Izzat al-Shahbandar, a representative of the secular Iraqi National List. On Friday, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told The Associated Press that dividing Iraq is a problem, and a decision like that would be a catastrophe.Iraq's constitution lays down a federal system, allowing Shiites in the south, Kurds in the north and Sunnis in the center and west of the country to set up regions with considerable autonomous powers. Nevertheless, ethnic and sectarian turmoil have snarled hopes of negotiating such measures, especially given deep divisions on sharing the country's vast oil resources. Oil reserves and existing fields would fall mainly into the hands of Kurds and Shiites if such a division were to occur.
Also Sunday, a judge delayed court proceedings for a second U.S. Army sniper accused in the deaths of two unarmed Iraqi civilians a day after a military panel sentenced a 22-year-old specialist to five months in prison for his role in the killings. Jorge G. Sandoval was convicted Thursday of planting evidence on one of the unidentified Iraqis killed last spring. He was acquitted of two murder charges. Sandoval had faced five charges in the deaths of the two unidentified Iraqi men. In dramatic testimony during the four-day court-martial, his colleague, Sgt. Evan Vela, testified he had pulled the trigger and killed one of the men Sandoval was accused of murdering. Vela, 23, said the sniper team was following orders when it shot the men during two separate incidents near Iskandariyah, a Sunni-dominated area south of Baghdad, on April 27 and May 11. On Sunday, a military judge postponed a pretrial hearing for Vela for at least a month. Vela's civilian defense lawyer had asked that the hearing be closed to the media because of classified information expected to be discussed. AP correspondents Qassim Abdul-Zahra, Katarina Kratovac and Kim Curtis contributed to this report.

Israelis, Palestinians to meet on peace By KARIN LAUB, Associated Press Writer Sun Sep 30, 9:31 PM ET
JERUSALEM - After months of sounding each other out, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas are getting to work this week on formulating a joint vision of a peace deal to be presented at a November peace conference in the U.S., their aides said Sunday. However, the two sides are far apart on how specific the joint document should be, underscoring the conflicting expectations and the considerable potential for failure. The Palestinians want to take a detailed framework agreement to the conference, while Israel wants a shorter and vaguer statement.From now and until mid-November, the agenda should be clearly set out, Abbas said Sunday in Cairo, Egypt. More than 36 countries will attend the conference and this big gathering requires us to go there with a definite document to pave the way later for the detailed negotiations (for) the final settlement.Israeli officials have said the conference would at best point negotiators in the right direction, but not yield solutions to the core issues of any final peace settlement, such as division of the disputed city of Jerusalem and future borders.
Separately, Palestinian officials were drafting their own proposed outline of a peace deal which was being circulated among Palestinian leaders for comment. According to a copy obtained by The Associated Press, the Palestinians are ready to swap some land with Israel and limit the number of Palestinian refugees returning to their homes in the Jewish state, but also demand the return of all areas of Jerusalem captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war.
The draft sets several deadlines. After the signing of a framework agreement, a final peace deal should be reached within 13 months and all Israeli settlers should leave Palestinian territory within three years.Israel is likely to object to such a timeline and the proposed division of Jerusalem.Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat denied the existence of a Palestinian position paper. He also said the Palestinians will not take any documents to Wednesday's meeting between Abbas and Olmert.Olmert's aides said he would host Abbas at his Jerusalem residence on Wednesday morning.Initial reports had indicated the meeting would be held Tuesday, but an official in Olmert's office said it had been put back for what he said were technical reasons.Erekat said the two leaders would meet privately at first, and would then be joined by their teams.
Abbas and Olmert met five times in recent months, to sound each other out and build trust. Abbas said the talks were wide-ranging, but until now we cannot say that we are negotiating.The U.S. is sponsoring the peace conference, which is to take place in Annapolis, Maryland, most likely in late November. The U.S. wants the conference to lead to a resumption of peace talks, which broke down in January 2001. Washington wants key Arab states, notably Saudi Arabia, to attend and lend backbone to the meeting.
Israel freeing 87 jailed Palestinians to aid Abbas Sun Sep 30, 6:26 PM ET
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel releases 87 jailed Palestinians on Monday in a bid to shore up President Mahmoud Abbas against rival Hamas Islamists and ahead of a U.S.-sponsored conference on Palestinian statehood. The prisoners, all members of Abbas's embattled Fatah or smaller secular factions, will be bussed out of the desert stockade of Kitsyot by 7 a.m. (0500 GMT) to Israel's boundaries with the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Prisons Service said.The freeing of prisoners is highly emotive for Palestinians, who see their nearly 11,000 brethren held in Israeli jails as fighters for freedom from Israeli occupation. Many Israelis say such amnesties encourage violence by Palestinian militants.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who is to meet Abbas later in the week to discuss their peacemaking agendas, said only prisoners without blood on their hands -- a reference to deadly attacks against the Jewish state -- and willing to sign a document renouncing violence would be freed.Fatah lost control of Gaza in June to Hamas, which rejects peace efforts with Israel that include a Middle East conference planned for November under U.S. auspices. Palestinians are divided on whether the parley will bring them closer to statehood.Abbas's office has welcomed the planned prisoner release but said more needed to be done on the issue. The last such gesture by Israel was on July 20, when some 250 prisoners, most of them from Fatah, went free.Twenty-nine of the 87 prisoners on Monday's release roster come from Gaza and the others from the West Bank. Israel had been expected to release more than 100 Palestinian prisoners. Asked about the lower figure, political sources said several prisoners had not met criteria set by the security services.
U.S.-hosted Mideast peace talks likely in Annapolis Sun Sep 30, 2:08 PM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is likely to hold its Middle East peace meeting in Annapolis, Maryland, a site without the echoes -- positive and negative -- of the Camp David presidential retreat, a U.S. official said on Sunday. The official, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak on the matter publicly, said the gathering of Israeli, Palestinian and other Arab officials, was likely to take place at the U.S. Naval Academy in mid-to-late November.Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, was temporarily the U.S. capital after the 1783 signing of the Treaty of Paris, in which the British recognized the United States as an independent state. It is 35 miles east of Washington.The U.S. official said no final decision had been made on the location and timing of the meeting, saying that the dates were still up in the air and that it was conceivable that the venue could change, although he did not expect that.The meeting represents the most dramatic involvement of the Bush administration in trying to broker peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians after what critics regard as nearly seven years of U.S. neglect of the problem.
In July 2000, former U.S. President Bill Clinton hosted a Middle East peace summit at Camp David with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat that failed to reach a final agreement.Camp David, which is 65 miles north of Washington, was the venue used by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter for the secret negotiations that led to a 1978 peace deal between Egyptian President Anwar Al Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.The U.S. official said he believed the Camp David history was considered in deliberations on where to host this year's meeting, but did not know how much it played in the decision.History sometimes helps. Sometimes it doesn't. I would assume that was part of the thought process, I just don't know how much of a factor it was, the U.S. official said.A State Department spokesman said no decision has been made on the venue or the date for the peace meeting.Unfortunately, at this point, we cannot confirm that, said Deborah Goode, spokeswoman for the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis said when asked about reports that it would be the site of the peace conference.(Additional reporting by Paul Eckert)
Portugal warns of impact of failure at Mideast conference Sat Sep 29, 4:30 PM ET
LISBON (AFP) - Portugal, which holds the presidency of the EU, warned Saturday that failing to reach some kind of deal at a US-sponsored Middle East conference in November would have extraordinary consequences. After talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Lisbon, Foreign Minister Luis Amado said the conference was a chance to reach an agreement in principle that would clear the way for a future Palestinian state.Failure in this process would be extremely dramatic and would have extraordinary consequences, in particular in terms of strengthening extremism, radicalism, and not just in the region, he said.But if an agreement was reached, it could overcome the divisions between Palestinians, divided since the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip in June, he said.Abbas said the November conference in Washington was a chance to achieve peace, and he paid tribute to the very significant role of the European Union in the process.He said his talks with Amado and Prime Minister Jose Socrates in Portugal were focused on the Palestinians' economic situation.The Palestinian leader refused to confirm the date of his next meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, saying only: We have met six times... and we will continue to do so.Amado also paid tribute to former British prime minister Tony Blair, the special envoy for the Middle East Quartet -- the United States, EU, Russia and United Nations -- saying he had been very well accepted by the Palestinians and was working on institutional issues which were fundamental to creating a new state.

Magnitude 7.4 quake hits near New Zealand Sun Sep 30, 3:40 AM ET
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 hit some 500 km (300 miles) southwest of New Zealand on Sunday, but there were no reports of damage and authorities discounted the risk of a major tsunami. The quake occurred at around 6:24 p.m. local time, and was felt throughout the south of New Zealand's South Island, said Warwick Smith of state agency GNS Science.
There was initially some concern there may have been a tsunami, but that possibility has now been discounted, Smith said.The quake was near to the Auckland Islands, a group of seven uninhabited islands 467 km south of South Island.A police spokeswoman in Invercargill, a city at the bottom of the South Island, said: It didn't feel that strong to me: many of the people in the station didn't even feel it.Japan's Meteorological Agency put the quake's magnitude at 7.4, while Geoscience Australia said it was 7.6.A spokesman for Geoscience Australia said seismologists were expecting no damage given the distance offshore and might review the magnitude figure.Volcanic arcs and oceanic trenches partly encircling the Pacific Basin form the so-called Ring of Fire, a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and the location of the top 10 earthquakes in the world since 1900. All of the top 10 measured an 8.5 magnitude or above.Earlier on Sunday, a strong earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.1 swayed buildings on the Pacific island of Guam, but there were no immediate reports of damage and no tsunami alert was issued.
Quake near Guam sways buildings Sun Sep 30, 2:36 AM ET
GUAM (Reuters) - A strong earthquake swayed buildings on the Pacific island of Guam on Sunday but there were no immediate reports of damage and no tsunami alert was issued. The magnitude 7.1 quake occurred at 12.09 p.m. local time near the U.S. territory, with its epicenter at a depth of 30 km, Japan's Meteorological Agency said on its Web site (www.jma.go.jp/en/quake).Some residents said high-rise blocks swayed and goods fell off supermarket shelves. But two hours after the quake, local television had reported no damage to buildings on Guam, an island east of the Philippines which is home to a major U.S. military base.We felt it. It was swinging back and forth for a minute or two, said Patrick Chan, a Guam-based meteorologist at the U.S. National Weather Service. It's not expected to cause a tsunami. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, based in Hawaii, said in a statement there was no destructive widespread tsunami threat. Neither Guam nor the Philippines issued tsunami warnings.
The U.S. Geological Survey also recorded a quake in the same area, which it said on its Web site (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter) was of magnitude 6.8 and centered about 345 km (215 miles) south-southeast of Guam.

Tropical storm Lekima leaves 10 dead or missing in Philippines Sun Sep 30, 6:03 PM ET
MANILA (AFP) - Tropical storm Lekima killed nine people and left another missing in the Philippines after unleashing landslides, floods and big waves, rescuers said Sunday. The weather bureau here lowered all cyclone alerts on the main island of Luzon as the storm dissipated into a weaker tropical depression in the South China Sea.A landslide buried two houses in a mountain village near the town of Hingyon late Saturday, killing eight people, the civil defence office here said.One other family member was missing while a nine year-old boy was injured, it said in an updated report.
Meanwhile, a military rescue unit recovered the body of a drowning victim in northern Manila, it said.The storm swept across Luzon with maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometres (40 miles) an hour on Saturday, shutting down ferry services, swelling dams and rivers, and unleashing floods that displaced some 3,400 people, the government agency said.Huge waves also smashed onto the Sarangani coast of the main southern island of Mindanao, damaging 29 houses in the village of San Nicolas.Ferry services between Luzon and the central islands resumed Sunday, but small fishing boats and other craft were warned to stay in port due to big waves.
Melissa weakens in Atlantic Sun Sep 30, 5:01 PM ET
MIAMI - Tropical Storm Melissa weakened into a depression Sunday far out in the open Atlantic while the remnants of Tropical Storm Karen dwindled away in the central Atlantic, forecasters said.
At 5 p.m. EDT, the degenerating remnants of Melissa were centered about 665 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands and posed no immediate threat to land, according to the National Hurricane Center. The system was moving west-northwest near 14 mph, and its maximum sustained winds were near 30 mph — down from 45 mph on Saturday.Karen faded into an area of disturbed weather Sunday and the hurricane center quit issuing advisories for the system. Early Sunday, it was centered about 495 miles east of the Leeward Islands.
In the eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Juliette was about 335 miles off the coast of Mexico but did not threaten land.Meanwhile, Mexican officials reported Sunday that the death toll from Hurricane Lorenzo, which faded after hitting Mexico's Gulf coast on Friday, had risen to six.Forecasters expect this year's Atlantic hurricane season to be busier than average. Last month, they said as many as 16 tropical storms were likely to form, with nine strengthening into hurricanes. The season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30.On the Net:National Hurricane Center: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

Canadian navy: volcano erupts off Yemen OCT 1,07
TORONTO - A volcano has erupted on a tiny island off the coast of Yemen, spewing lava and ash hundreds of feet into the air, a Canadian naval vessel near the island in the Red Sea reported Sunday. There were no immediate reports of deaths, but at least eight people were missing. The Yemeni government asked NATO to assist in searching for survivors on Jabal al-Tair island, which lacks a settled population but includes military installations.
The Yemeni news agency SABA confirmed the eruption and said a military garrison on the island is being evacuated. It wasn't clear how many people were stationed on the island, which is used for naval control and observation because large cargo ships pass nearby.
Ken Allan, a Navy spokesman, said a NATO fleet just outside the territorial waters of the island reported seeing a catastrophic volcanic eruption at 7 p.m. local time. The two-mile-long island is about 70 miles off the coast of Yemen.At this time, the entire island is aglow with lava and magma as it pours down into the sea. We do not have confirmation of how many people were on this island at the time of the eruption, Allan said in an e-mail.The lava is spewing hundreds of feet into the air, with the volcanic ash also (rising) a thousand feet in the air, Allan said.The Canadian Armed Forces said they are trying to locate nine people believed to be at sea after the Yemen coast guard requested help. SABA reported that the Yemeni government said eight people were missing. It is unclear why there was a discrepancy or if the reports were even talking about the same people.The NATO fleet was sailing toward the Suez Canal when it spotted the eruption. The government of Yemen asked NATO to assist in the search for survivors and the closet ship, the HMCS Toronto, is heading toward the island.Yemen is a poor tribal Sunni Muslim country at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula.
SATAN BOOTED OUT OF HEAVEN
ISAIAH 14:12-23
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, (SATAN) son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand.
REVELATION 12:3-4
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon,(SATAN) having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand:(200 MILLION MAN ARY) and I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God (DEMONIC FALLIN ANGELS) came in unto the daughters of men,(INTERCOURSE WITH HUMAN WOMEN) and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
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.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.(JESUS)
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
U.S. Embassy rips Iraq partition plan By STEVEN R. HURST, Associated Press Writer OCT 1,07
BAGHDAD - U.S. and Iraqi forces killed more than 60 insurgent and militia fighters in intense battles over the weekend, officials said Sunday. The U.S. Embassy, meanwhile, joined a broad swath of Iraqi politicians — both Shiite and Sunni — in criticizing a nonbinding U.S. Senate resolution seen here as a recipe for splitting the country along sectarian and ethnic lines. The U.S. military also announced the death of an American soldier killed Saturday in a roadside bombing and gunfire attack in eastern Baghdad. There were 62 U.S. military deaths in September, the lowest monthly toll since July 2006 when 43 American soldiers were killed, according to a preliminary Associated Press tally.U.S. aircraft killed more than 20 al-Qaida in Iraq fighters who opened fire on an American air patrol northwest of Baghdad, the U.S. command said.The firefight between U.S. aircraft and the insurgent fighters occurred Saturday about 17 miles northwest of the capital, the military said.
The aircraft observed about 25 al-Qaida insurgents carrying AK-47 assault rifles — one brandishing a rocket-propelled grenade — walking into a palm grove, the military said.Shortly after spotting the men, the aircraft were fired upon by the insurgent fighters, it said.The military did not say what kind of aircraft were involved but the fact that the fighters opened fire suggests they were low-flying Apache helicopters. The command said more than 20 of the group were killed and four vehicles were destroyed. No Iraqi civilians or U.S. soldiers were hurt.Coalition forces have dealt significant blows to Al-Qaida Iraq in recent months, including the recent killing of the Tunisian head of the foreign fighter network in Iraq and the blows struck in the past 24 hours, military spokesman Col. Steven Boylan told The Associated Press.
Iraq's Defense Ministry said in an e-mail Sunday afternoon that Iraqi soldiers had killed 44 terrorists over the past 24 hours. The operations were centered in Salahuddin and Diyala provinces and around the city of Kirkuk, where the ministry said its soldiers had killed 40 and arrested eight. It said 52 fighters were arrested altogether.The ministry did not further identify those killed, but use of the word terrorists normally indicates al-Qaida.In a separate operation, U.S. forces killed two insurgents and detained 21 others during weekend operations against al-Qaida.
Intelligence led to a raid early Sunday that netted what the U.S. military called 15 rogue members of the Mahdi Army militia at an undisclosed Baghdad location.
The mainstream of the militia, the armed wing of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's organization, has been ordered by the religious leader to stop attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces.But many one-time members of the group have split off and are acting independently of al-Sadr's control. Some have gone to Iran for training and are receiving weapons and financing from the Islamic regime in Tehran.The Senate resolution, adopted last week, proposed reshaping Iraq according to three sectarian or ethnic territories. It calls for a limited central government with the bulk of power going to the country's Shiite, Sunni or Kurdish regions, envisioning a power-sharing agreement similar to the one that ended the 1990s war in Bosnia. Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden, a Democrat presidential candidate, was a prime sponsor.
In a highly unusual statement, the U.S. Embassy said resolution would seriously hamper Iraq's future stability.Our goal in Iraq remains the same: a united, democratic, federal Iraq that can govern, defend, and sustain itself, the unsigned statement said.
Iraq's leaders must and will take the lead in determining how to achieve these national aspirations. ... attempts to partition or divide Iraq by intimidation, force or other means into three separate states would produce extraordinary suffering and bloodshed, it said.The statement came just hours after representatives of Iraq's major political parties denounced the Senate proposal.The Kurds in three northern Iraqi provinces are running a virtually independent country within Iraq while nominally maintaining relations with Baghdad. They support a formal division, but both Sunni and Shiite Muslims have denounced the proposal. At a news conference earlier in the day, at least nine Iraqi political parties and party blocs — both Shiite and Sunni — said the Senate resolution would diminish Iraq's sovereignty and said they would try to pass a law to ban any division of the country.
This proposal was based on the incorrect reading and unrealistic estimations of Iraq's past, present and future, according to a statement read at a news conference by Izzat al-Shahbandar, a representative of the secular Iraqi National List. On Friday, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told The Associated Press that dividing Iraq is a problem, and a decision like that would be a catastrophe.Iraq's constitution lays down a federal system, allowing Shiites in the south, Kurds in the north and Sunnis in the center and west of the country to set up regions with considerable autonomous powers. Nevertheless, ethnic and sectarian turmoil have snarled hopes of negotiating such measures, especially given deep divisions on sharing the country's vast oil resources. Oil reserves and existing fields would fall mainly into the hands of Kurds and Shiites if such a division were to occur.
Also Sunday, a judge delayed court proceedings for a second U.S. Army sniper accused in the deaths of two unarmed Iraqi civilians a day after a military panel sentenced a 22-year-old specialist to five months in prison for his role in the killings. Jorge G. Sandoval was convicted Thursday of planting evidence on one of the unidentified Iraqis killed last spring. He was acquitted of two murder charges. Sandoval had faced five charges in the deaths of the two unidentified Iraqi men. In dramatic testimony during the four-day court-martial, his colleague, Sgt. Evan Vela, testified he had pulled the trigger and killed one of the men Sandoval was accused of murdering. Vela, 23, said the sniper team was following orders when it shot the men during two separate incidents near Iskandariyah, a Sunni-dominated area south of Baghdad, on April 27 and May 11. On Sunday, a military judge postponed a pretrial hearing for Vela for at least a month. Vela's civilian defense lawyer had asked that the hearing be closed to the media because of classified information expected to be discussed. AP correspondents Qassim Abdul-Zahra, Katarina Kratovac and Kim Curtis contributed to this report.

Israelis, Palestinians to meet on peace By KARIN LAUB, Associated Press Writer Sun Sep 30, 9:31 PM ET
JERUSALEM - After months of sounding each other out, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas are getting to work this week on formulating a joint vision of a peace deal to be presented at a November peace conference in the U.S., their aides said Sunday. However, the two sides are far apart on how specific the joint document should be, underscoring the conflicting expectations and the considerable potential for failure. The Palestinians want to take a detailed framework agreement to the conference, while Israel wants a shorter and vaguer statement.From now and until mid-November, the agenda should be clearly set out, Abbas said Sunday in Cairo, Egypt. More than 36 countries will attend the conference and this big gathering requires us to go there with a definite document to pave the way later for the detailed negotiations (for) the final settlement.Israeli officials have said the conference would at best point negotiators in the right direction, but not yield solutions to the core issues of any final peace settlement, such as division of the disputed city of Jerusalem and future borders.
Separately, Palestinian officials were drafting their own proposed outline of a peace deal which was being circulated among Palestinian leaders for comment. According to a copy obtained by The Associated Press, the Palestinians are ready to swap some land with Israel and limit the number of Palestinian refugees returning to their homes in the Jewish state, but also demand the return of all areas of Jerusalem captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war.
The draft sets several deadlines. After the signing of a framework agreement, a final peace deal should be reached within 13 months and all Israeli settlers should leave Palestinian territory within three years.Israel is likely to object to such a timeline and the proposed division of Jerusalem.Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat denied the existence of a Palestinian position paper. He also said the Palestinians will not take any documents to Wednesday's meeting between Abbas and Olmert.Olmert's aides said he would host Abbas at his Jerusalem residence on Wednesday morning.Initial reports had indicated the meeting would be held Tuesday, but an official in Olmert's office said it had been put back for what he said were technical reasons.Erekat said the two leaders would meet privately at first, and would then be joined by their teams.
Abbas and Olmert met five times in recent months, to sound each other out and build trust. Abbas said the talks were wide-ranging, but until now we cannot say that we are negotiating.The U.S. is sponsoring the peace conference, which is to take place in Annapolis, Maryland, most likely in late November. The U.S. wants the conference to lead to a resumption of peace talks, which broke down in January 2001. Washington wants key Arab states, notably Saudi Arabia, to attend and lend backbone to the meeting.
Israel freeing 87 jailed Palestinians to aid Abbas Sun Sep 30, 6:26 PM ET
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel releases 87 jailed Palestinians on Monday in a bid to shore up President Mahmoud Abbas against rival Hamas Islamists and ahead of a U.S.-sponsored conference on Palestinian statehood. The prisoners, all members of Abbas's embattled Fatah or smaller secular factions, will be bussed out of the desert stockade of Kitsyot by 7 a.m. (0500 GMT) to Israel's boundaries with the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Prisons Service said.The freeing of prisoners is highly emotive for Palestinians, who see their nearly 11,000 brethren held in Israeli jails as fighters for freedom from Israeli occupation. Many Israelis say such amnesties encourage violence by Palestinian militants.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who is to meet Abbas later in the week to discuss their peacemaking agendas, said only prisoners without blood on their hands -- a reference to deadly attacks against the Jewish state -- and willing to sign a document renouncing violence would be freed.Fatah lost control of Gaza in June to Hamas, which rejects peace efforts with Israel that include a Middle East conference planned for November under U.S. auspices. Palestinians are divided on whether the parley will bring them closer to statehood.Abbas's office has welcomed the planned prisoner release but said more needed to be done on the issue. The last such gesture by Israel was on July 20, when some 250 prisoners, most of them from Fatah, went free.Twenty-nine of the 87 prisoners on Monday's release roster come from Gaza and the others from the West Bank. Israel had been expected to release more than 100 Palestinian prisoners. Asked about the lower figure, political sources said several prisoners had not met criteria set by the security services.
U.S.-hosted Mideast peace talks likely in Annapolis Sun Sep 30, 2:08 PM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is likely to hold its Middle East peace meeting in Annapolis, Maryland, a site without the echoes -- positive and negative -- of the Camp David presidential retreat, a U.S. official said on Sunday. The official, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak on the matter publicly, said the gathering of Israeli, Palestinian and other Arab officials, was likely to take place at the U.S. Naval Academy in mid-to-late November.Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, was temporarily the U.S. capital after the 1783 signing of the Treaty of Paris, in which the British recognized the United States as an independent state. It is 35 miles east of Washington.The U.S. official said no final decision had been made on the location and timing of the meeting, saying that the dates were still up in the air and that it was conceivable that the venue could change, although he did not expect that.The meeting represents the most dramatic involvement of the Bush administration in trying to broker peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians after what critics regard as nearly seven years of U.S. neglect of the problem.
In July 2000, former U.S. President Bill Clinton hosted a Middle East peace summit at Camp David with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat that failed to reach a final agreement.Camp David, which is 65 miles north of Washington, was the venue used by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter for the secret negotiations that led to a 1978 peace deal between Egyptian President Anwar Al Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.The U.S. official said he believed the Camp David history was considered in deliberations on where to host this year's meeting, but did not know how much it played in the decision.History sometimes helps. Sometimes it doesn't. I would assume that was part of the thought process, I just don't know how much of a factor it was, the U.S. official said.A State Department spokesman said no decision has been made on the venue or the date for the peace meeting.Unfortunately, at this point, we cannot confirm that, said Deborah Goode, spokeswoman for the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis said when asked about reports that it would be the site of the peace conference.(Additional reporting by Paul Eckert)
Portugal warns of impact of failure at Mideast conference Sat Sep 29, 4:30 PM ET
LISBON (AFP) - Portugal, which holds the presidency of the EU, warned Saturday that failing to reach some kind of deal at a US-sponsored Middle East conference in November would have extraordinary consequences. After talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Lisbon, Foreign Minister Luis Amado said the conference was a chance to reach an agreement in principle that would clear the way for a future Palestinian state.Failure in this process would be extremely dramatic and would have extraordinary consequences, in particular in terms of strengthening extremism, radicalism, and not just in the region, he said.But if an agreement was reached, it could overcome the divisions between Palestinians, divided since the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip in June, he said.Abbas said the November conference in Washington was a chance to achieve peace, and he paid tribute to the very significant role of the European Union in the process.He said his talks with Amado and Prime Minister Jose Socrates in Portugal were focused on the Palestinians' economic situation.The Palestinian leader refused to confirm the date of his next meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, saying only: We have met six times... and we will continue to do so.Amado also paid tribute to former British prime minister Tony Blair, the special envoy for the Middle East Quartet -- the United States, EU, Russia and United Nations -- saying he had been very well accepted by the Palestinians and was working on institutional issues which were fundamental to creating a new state.

2 quakes off Japan, no tsunami Fri Sep 28, 11:32 AM ET
TOKYO - Two earthquakes struck almost simultaneously off Japan's central coast late Friday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. No tsunami warning was issued and no damage was reported. The first quake, with a magnitude of 6.6, struck at 10:41 p.m. and was centered in the Pacific Ocean off Iwo Jima, about 930 miles south of Tokyo.Another quake with a magnitude of 7.4 occurred off the Mariana Islands around the same time, according to the agency.
Slight shaking was reported in northeastern towns on Japan's main island of Honshu.No injuries or damage were immediately reported. It was not immediately known whether the two quakes were related.
Japan is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries and sits atop four tectonic plates.

Hurricane Lorenzo slams into Mexico's Caribbean coast, weakens Fri Sep 28, 12:10 PM ET
MIAMI (AFP) - Tropical Storm Lorenzo strengthened into a hurricane and slammed ashore Friday in one of Mexico's oil producing regions, the US National Hurricane Center said, before Lorenzo lost some of its punch. Briefly a Category One hurricane -- the lowest on the five-level Simpson-Saffir scale -- Lorenzo then weakened back to tropical storm status over land; at 0500 GMT it was located inland, some 45 kilometers (30 miles) south-southwest of Tuxpan, the Miami-based Hurricane Center reported.Scores of offshore oil rigs are located in the area off Tuxpan.Lorenzo was moving toward the west at about 11 kilometers (seven miles) per hour with maximum sustained winds of 100 kilometers (65 miles) per hour, with higher gusts.Rapid weakening is forecast today as Lorenzo proceeds inland, the center said, while still warning that its heavy rain could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.
The storm is expected to dump up to 25 centimeters (10 inches) of rain in the Mexican state of Veracruz, with possible isolated maximums of 15 inches, or 38 centimeters.At least four Mexican states declared hurricane watches, the Mexican interior ministry said in a statement in Mexico City.Authorities evacuated people from low-lying and flood-prone areas in Veracruz, Tamaulipas, Tabasco and Campeche states, the statement added.

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.
US dollar hits record low against euro By TALI ARBEL, AP Business Writer Fri Sep 28, 6:05 PM ET
NEW YORK - The dollar fell to a record low against the euro for the seventh consecutive session while the Canadian dollar hit a 31-year high as inflation data raised expectations that the Federal Reserve Bank would again lower interest rates. The 13-nation European currency reached $1.4274 in late New York trading — exceeding its previous peak of $1.4189, reached Thursday. The euro had bought $1.4160 in New York late Thursday.The euro spiked above $1.42 after the release of data showing that a key measure of inflation in the U.S. eased last month to the slowest pace in 3 1/2 years. The inflation data boosted hopes that the Fed would cut interest rates despite surprisingly positive consumer spending data.The 1.8-percent rise in core inflation over the past year, which excluded energy and food, was within the Fed's comfort zone for core price increases of between 1 percent and 2 percent, meaning they could cut again.Although the Commerce Department reported Friday that incomes rose 0.3 percent last month, slightly less than had been expected, economic data was mostly positive.
Consumer spending rose by 0.6 percent in August, and construction spending increased 0.2 percent — both numbers higher than anticipated because of the market's recession fears swarming throughout August.Both personal income and spending are up, said Michael Woolfolk, senior currency strategist at the Bank of New York. The consumer was undaunted by financial market turmoil.
Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar hit a 31-year high Friday, buying $1.0091 in U.S. currency. It later retreated to 99.37 U.S. cents in late New York trading. The loonie bought 99.87 U.S. cents late Thursday.That country's currency — named for a Canadian bird, the loon, on the one-dollar coin, has been on a spectacular tear since the U.S. greenback began to weaken in the face of a credit crisis sparked by the U.S. subprime mortgage market.The loonie reached parity with its U.S. counterpart for the first time in 31 years on Sept. 20. Just five years ago, in January 2002, the loonie hit a record low of 61.79 US cents.Helping the Canadian dollar's rise was a Statistics Canada report that the economy grew by 0.2 percent in July, the same rate as in June.
The price of oil surged above C$83 (US$83.48) a barrel on Friday, closing in on its record high. Soaring oil and gas prices have bolstered Canada's economy and currency, leading the loonie to be dubbed the petrocurrency.In other trading, the British pound rose to $2.0454 from $2.0270 in New York late Thursday. The dollar was down to 114.74 Japanese yen from 115.59 yen and 1.1635 Swiss francs from 1.1724.The dollar has been sliding since the Fed cut interest rates last week by a larger-than-expected half percentage point. Since then, a week of mostly disappointing U.S. economic data have stoked expectations that another rate cut could follow.
With the market expecting lower rates, this continues to undermine the U.S. dollar, especially with the European Central Bank perhaps set to raise interest rates, said Woolfolk.If September employment data expected for next week is positive and the ECB does not raise rates, he said, that could help arrest the dollar's fall in the short term.The lower U.S. interest rates, used to jump-start the economy, can weaken its currency as investors transfer funds to countries where their deposits and fixed-income investments bring higher returns.Longer term, the U.S. has been running large trade and budget deficits for years — factors that tend to undermine a country's currency in the long term, unless they are offset by foreigners willingness to invest their money in the United States.
Consequences of the dollar's fall include upward pressure on inflation from higher prices for imported food and goods, and less purchasing power for Americans traveling or living abroad. On the other hand, a cheaper dollar makes U.S. exporters wares more competitive on a price basis overseas.
Evangelicals recall Jericho's walls By REGAN E. DOHERTY, Associated Press Writer SEPT 28,07
EIN GEDI, Israel - The walls of Jericho came crashing down again at this spa resort on the Dead Sea, with all the bright lights and fanfare of a Broadway show. Actors dressed in biblical garb blasting ram horns and riding camels re-enacted Joshua's siege of the ancient city for some 5,000 Christian pilgrims on Thursday, kicking off a weeklong demonstration of solidarity with the Jewish state.The performance at Ein Gedi, about 20 miles south of Jericho itself, was part of a celebration marking the Feast of the Tabernacles, or Sukkot, a seven-day Jewish holiday during which the pilgrims believe the Old Testament invites all nations to come to Jerusalem.The crowd's excitement was palpable, with believers exclaiming hallelujah and blowing large ram horns, or shofars, throughout the show. Walls replicating the ones that came tumbling down when Joshua blew his ram's horn came down during the performance.Organizers said that Christian tourism in the Holy Land reaches its peak during Sukkot.Evangelical groups have forged a tight alliance with the Jewish state, and Israeli officials have welcomed the pilgrims for years. Israeli Orthodox rabbis have tolerated them but have become increasingly concerned they may have an ulterior motive: conversion of the Jews.
The Christian groups oppose territorial concessions to the Palestinians, who want to establish a state in areas Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast War. Many Evangelicals believe Jews must return to the biblical Land of Israel to facilitate a Second Coming of Christ.The International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem has hosted Sukkot celebrations in Israel for 27 years. The embassy says that pilgrims have been instructed to refrain from missionary activity while in Israel.It's time for gentiles to repay their debt to the Jews, said Anthony Gibson of County Kildare, Ireland. Without the Jews, he said, there would be no patriarchs, no prophets, no messiah, no salvation.The weeklong festival will include a parade and a musical tribute to the 40th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war, in addition to performances by Jewish cantor and Broadway actor Dudu Fisher.Lollie De Manielle of Malmesbury, South Africa, said that her interest in Israel is not seeing the dead stones of archaeological sites.I'm more looking forward to meeting the living stones, the (Israeli) people.

23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
DANIEL 12:4,1
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
REVELATION 13:1-3,7,8,12,16-18
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
REVELATION 17:3,7,9-10,12,18
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Israel, Palestinians could sign peace deal by May 2008: Abbas by Ezzedine Said Fri Sep 28, 5:09 PM ET
NEW YORK (AFP) - Israel and the Palestinians could sign a peace deal within six months of an international peace conference scheduled for November, Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas told AFP on Friday. The US-sponsored conference should define the groundwork for settling questions over the final status of the Palestinian territories, Abbas said in an interview in New York, where he is attending the UN General Assembly.Then we will begin negotiations on the details under a timeframe, which ought not to exceed six months, to reach a peace treaty, he added.The leader of the Palestinian Authority, who has met with several key foreign leaders during his stay in New York, said that the US-sponsored talks would open in Washington on November 15.We have noted that the whole world is interested in this meeting and attaches great hopes to its success, he added.
In his address to the UN General Assembly later Friday, Abbas called on the world to seize the opportunity at November's conference to work towards the creation of a Palestinian state.He said the US-sponsored talks offered a new beginning for serious negotiations leading to the end of the Israeli occupation that started in 1967 and the realization of the vision of two states.Is it not time to create an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital and to find a just solution... to the problem of refugees to put an end to the suffering that they have endured for six decades? he added.From this podium, I call upon the Israeli government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, with whom I have had in-depth talks, to break the cycle of missed opportunities, he added.Abbas told AFP that Palestinian and Israeli negotiators would start to tackle preparations for the gathering in the coming days.We want to prepare a framework agreement defining clear principles and without equivocation that will serve as a basis for the settlement. Immediately after the meeting we will hold negotiations on the basis of this document.
Key stumbling blocks in previous talks between Israel and the Palestinians have included the borders of a future Palestinian state, the fate of the Jewish settlements, the status of Jerusalem and the question of Palestinian refugees.We, the Israelis and the Arabs, must make this meeting succeed, he said.He said the members of the Middle East quartet, the permanent members of the UN Security Council, the follow up committee of the Arab League and certain countries from G8 and the non-aligned movement should take part in the talks.The international quartet, which groups the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia, issued a roadmap for Israeli-Palestinian peace in 2003 originally envisioning the creation of a Palestinian state by 2005.We hope that Syria and Lebanon will also participate in the meeting, he added. The United States announced this week that it would invite Syria to the talks, but Damascus has expressed reservations about taking part.
Asked whether an agreement could be applied in the Gaza Strip, where Hamas took power by force in June, Abbas called on the Islamist movement to place the interests of the Palestinian people above all other considerations.If the situation in the Gaza Strip returns to how it was (before Hamas seized power) we will be ready to talk, he said. But a recent flare-up in violence in the Gaza Strip, declared by Israel as a hostile entity and where 13 Palestinians were killed this week by Israeli attacks in response to militant rocket fire, has complicated the task. Israel, for its part, has sought to downplay expectations of a breakthrough at the November meeting, which prime minister Olmert has described as not a peace conference, but rather an international meeting.Abbas later met Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni but the two sides declined to make any comments at the end of the hour-long talks.
In Gaza, a Hamas spokesman reacted to Abbas' comments saying: any agreement that ignores the rights of Palestinian people is an agreement that will be refused by Hamas.

Spokeswoman dodges question about NAFTA Superhighways
Perino says president comfortable working with Mexico, Canada
September 28, 2007 - 1:00 a.m. Eastern - WorldNetDaily.com
President Bush is comfortable when the United States, Mexico and Canada work together on issues facing the continent, according to spokeswoman Dana Perino, even though Congress is considering a warning that the nation's sovereignty could be threaten by such efforts. She was responding to a question from Les Kinsolving, WND's correspondent at the White House. He asked: Inspired in part by The New York Times best-selling book, The Late Great U.S.A., a resolution in the House of Representatives opposing work on any NAFTA superhighway or moves towards merging the U.S., Mexico and Canada into a North American union now has 27 co-sponsors from both sides of the aisle. Do you support such legislation?
Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Va. (Photo: University of Virginia) I've not heard of such legislation, but I think we are very comfortable believing that there can be Mexico, the United States and Canada as three separate countries all working together, was her full response. The pending resolution expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada.It was launched by U.S. Reps. Virgil Goode, R-Va., Ron Paul, R-Texas, Walter B. Jones, R-N.C., and Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., and has been referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, in addition to the Committee on International Relations.
Nearly two dozen others now have joined with the effort, which says: Whereas, according to the Department of Commerce, United States trade deficits with Mexico and Canada have significantly widened since the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); Whereas the economic and physical security of the United States is impaired by the potential loss of control of its borders attendant to the full operation of NAFTA; Whereas a NAFTA Superhighway System from the west coast of Mexico through the United States and into Canada has been suggested as part of a North American Union; Whereas it would be particularly difficult for Americans to collect insurance from Mexican companies which employ Mexican drivers involved in accidents in the United States, which would increase the insurance rates for American drivers;
Whereas future unrestricted foreign trucking into the United States can pose a safety hazard due to inadequate maintenance and inspection, and can act collaterally as a conduit for the entry into the United States of illegal drugs, illegal human smuggling, and terrorist activities; and Whereas a NAFTA Superhighway System would be funded by foreign consortiums and controlled by foreign management, which threatens the sovereignty of the United States: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That – the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System; the United States should not enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada; and
the President should indicate strong opposition to these or any other proposals that threaten the sovereignty of the United States.
WNDN previously has reported the resolution is a message to both the executive and legislative branches. You won't hear the leadership in the Republic Party admit it, but there are many in the House and Senate who know that illegal immigration has to be stopped and legal immigration has to be reduced. We are giving away the country so a few very rich people can get richer, Goode told WND. How did he react when President Bush referred to those who suggest the Security and Prosperity Partnership could turn into the North American Union as conspiracy theorists? The president is really engaging in a play on words, Goode responded. The secretary of transportation came before our subcommittee, he explained, and I had the opportunity to ask her some questions about the NAFTA Superhighway. Of course, she answered, There's no NAFTA Superhighway. But then Mary Peters proceeded to discuss the road system that would come up from Mexico and go through the United States up into Canada.Goode is a member of the Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development of the House Committee on Appropriations. So, I think that saying we're conspiracy theorists or something like that is really just a play on words with the intent to demonize the opposition, Goode concluded.
Goode stressed that the Bush administration supports both a NAU regional government and a NAFTA Superhighway system: The Bush administration as well as Mexico and Canada have persons in the government in all three countries who want to a see a North American Union as well as a highway system that would bring goods into the west coast of Mexico and transport them up through Mexico into the United States and then in onto Canada, Goode confirmed.
The Virginia congressman said he believes the motivation behind the movement toward North American integration is the anticipated profits the large multinational corporations in each of the three countries expect to make from global trade, especially moving production to China. Some really large businesses that get a lot from China would like a NAFTA Superhighway system because it would reduce costs for them to transport containers from China and, as a result, increase their margins, he argued. I am vigorously opposed to the Mexican trucks coming into the country, Goode continued. The way we have done it and, I think, the way we should do it in the future, is to have the goods come into the United States from Mexico within a 20-mile commercial space and unloaded from Mexican trucks into U.S. trucks. This procedure enhances the safety of the country, the security of the country, and provides much less chance for illegal immigration.In a second question Kinsolving asked: Republican Congressman and presidential candidate Duncan Hunter's Restoring Patriotism to America's Campuses Act would bar Columbia University from receiving any federal money because it not only refuses to allow an ROTC on campus, but also because it invited [Iranian President Mahmoud} Ahmadinejad as a guest lecturer. And my question: Does the president believe that is right, or wrong? I haven't seen the legislation. And we have already said that Columbia University made its own decision, Perino said.

2 quakes off Japan, no tsunami Fri Sep 28, 11:32 AM ET
TOKYO - Two earthquakes struck almost simultaneously off Japan's central coast late Friday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. No tsunami warning was issued and no damage was reported. The first quake, with a magnitude of 6.6, struck at 10:41 p.m. and was centered in the Pacific Ocean off Iwo Jima, about 930 miles south of Tokyo.Another quake with a magnitude of 7.4 occurred off the Mariana Islands around the same time, according to the agency.
Slight shaking was reported in northeastern towns on Japan's main island of Honshu.No injuries or damage were immediately reported. It was not immediately known whether the two quakes were related.
Japan is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries and sits atop four tectonic plates.

Hurricane Lorenzo slams into Mexico's Caribbean coast, weakens Fri Sep 28, 12:10 PM ET
MIAMI (AFP) - Tropical Storm Lorenzo strengthened into a hurricane and slammed ashore Friday in one of Mexico's oil producing regions, the US National Hurricane Center said, before Lorenzo lost some of its punch. Briefly a Category One hurricane -- the lowest on the five-level Simpson-Saffir scale -- Lorenzo then weakened back to tropical storm status over land; at 0500 GMT it was located inland, some 45 kilometers (30 miles) south-southwest of Tuxpan, the Miami-based Hurricane Center reported.Scores of offshore oil rigs are located in the area off Tuxpan.Lorenzo was moving toward the west at about 11 kilometers (seven miles) per hour with maximum sustained winds of 100 kilometers (65 miles) per hour, with higher gusts.Rapid weakening is forecast today as Lorenzo proceeds inland, the center said, while still warning that its heavy rain could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.
The storm is expected to dump up to 25 centimeters (10 inches) of rain in the Mexican state of Veracruz, with possible isolated maximums of 15 inches, or 38 centimeters.At least four Mexican states declared hurricane watches, the Mexican interior ministry said in a statement in Mexico City.Authorities evacuated people from low-lying and flood-prone areas in Veracruz, Tamaulipas, Tabasco and Campeche states, the statement added.

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.
US dollar hits record low against euro By TALI ARBEL, AP Business Writer Fri Sep 28, 6:05 PM ET
NEW YORK - The dollar fell to a record low against the euro for the seventh consecutive session while the Canadian dollar hit a 31-year high as inflation data raised expectations that the Federal Reserve Bank would again lower interest rates. The 13-nation European currency reached $1.4274 in late New York trading — exceeding its previous peak of $1.4189, reached Thursday. The euro had bought $1.4160 in New York late Thursday.The euro spiked above $1.42 after the release of data showing that a key measure of inflation in the U.S. eased last month to the slowest pace in 3 1/2 years. The inflation data boosted hopes that the Fed would cut interest rates despite surprisingly positive consumer spending data.The 1.8-percent rise in core inflation over the past year, which excluded energy and food, was within the Fed's comfort zone for core price increases of between 1 percent and 2 percent, meaning they could cut again.Although the Commerce Department reported Friday that incomes rose 0.3 percent last month, slightly less than had been expected, economic data was mostly positive.
Consumer spending rose by 0.6 percent in August, and construction spending increased 0.2 percent — both numbers higher than anticipated because of the market's recession fears swarming throughout August.Both personal income and spending are up, said Michael Woolfolk, senior currency strategist at the Bank of New York. The consumer was undaunted by financial market turmoil.
Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar hit a 31-year high Friday, buying $1.0091 in U.S. currency. It later retreated to 99.37 U.S. cents in late New York trading. The loonie bought 99.87 U.S. cents late Thursday.That country's currency — named for a Canadian bird, the loon, on the one-dollar coin, has been on a spectacular tear since the U.S. greenback began to weaken in the face of a credit crisis sparked by the U.S. subprime mortgage market.The loonie reached parity with its U.S. counterpart for the first time in 31 years on Sept. 20. Just five years ago, in January 2002, the loonie hit a record low of 61.79 US cents.Helping the Canadian dollar's rise was a Statistics Canada report that the economy grew by 0.2 percent in July, the same rate as in June.
The price of oil surged above C$83 (US$83.48) a barrel on Friday, closing in on its record high. Soaring oil and gas prices have bolstered Canada's economy and currency, leading the loonie to be dubbed the petrocurrency.In other trading, the British pound rose to $2.0454 from $2.0270 in New York late Thursday. The dollar was down to 114.74 Japanese yen from 115.59 yen and 1.1635 Swiss francs from 1.1724.The dollar has been sliding since the Fed cut interest rates last week by a larger-than-expected half percentage point. Since then, a week of mostly disappointing U.S. economic data have stoked expectations that another rate cut could follow.
With the market expecting lower rates, this continues to undermine the U.S. dollar, especially with the European Central Bank perhaps set to raise interest rates, said Woolfolk.If September employment data expected for next week is positive and the ECB does not raise rates, he said, that could help arrest the dollar's fall in the short term.The lower U.S. interest rates, used to jump-start the economy, can weaken its currency as investors transfer funds to countries where their deposits and fixed-income investments bring higher returns.Longer term, the U.S. has been running large trade and budget deficits for years — factors that tend to undermine a country's currency in the long term, unless they are offset by foreigners willingness to invest their money in the United States.
Consequences of the dollar's fall include upward pressure on inflation from higher prices for imported food and goods, and less purchasing power for Americans traveling or living abroad. On the other hand, a cheaper dollar makes U.S. exporters wares more competitive on a price basis overseas.
Evangelicals recall Jericho's walls By REGAN E. DOHERTY, Associated Press Writer SEPT 28,07
EIN GEDI, Israel - The walls of Jericho came crashing down again at this spa resort on the Dead Sea, with all the bright lights and fanfare of a Broadway show. Actors dressed in biblical garb blasting ram horns and riding camels re-enacted Joshua's siege of the ancient city for some 5,000 Christian pilgrims on Thursday, kicking off a weeklong demonstration of solidarity with the Jewish state.The performance at Ein Gedi, about 20 miles south of Jericho itself, was part of a celebration marking the Feast of the Tabernacles, or Sukkot, a seven-day Jewish holiday during which the pilgrims believe the Old Testament invites all nations to come to Jerusalem.The crowd's excitement was palpable, with believers exclaiming hallelujah and blowing large ram horns, or shofars, throughout the show. Walls replicating the ones that came tumbling down when Joshua blew his ram's horn came down during the performance.Organizers said that Christian tourism in the Holy Land reaches its peak during Sukkot.Evangelical groups have forged a tight alliance with the Jewish state, and Israeli officials have welcomed the pilgrims for years. Israeli Orthodox rabbis have tolerated them but have become increasingly concerned they may have an ulterior motive: conversion of the Jews.
The Christian groups oppose territorial concessions to the Palestinians, who want to establish a state in areas Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast War. Many Evangelicals believe Jews must return to the biblical Land of Israel to facilitate a Second Coming of Christ.The International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem has hosted Sukkot celebrations in Israel for 27 years. The embassy says that pilgrims have been instructed to refrain from missionary activity while in Israel.It's time for gentiles to repay their debt to the Jews, said Anthony Gibson of County Kildare, Ireland. Without the Jews, he said, there would be no patriarchs, no prophets, no messiah, no salvation.The weeklong festival will include a parade and a musical tribute to the 40th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war, in addition to performances by Jewish cantor and Broadway actor Dudu Fisher.Lollie De Manielle of Malmesbury, South Africa, said that her interest in Israel is not seeing the dead stones of archaeological sites.I'm more looking forward to meeting the living stones, the (Israeli) people.

NEW YORK (AFP) - Israel and the Palestinians could sign a peace deal within six months of an international peace conference scheduled for November, Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas told AFP on Friday. The US-sponsored conference should define the groundwork for settling questions over the final status of the Palestinian territories, Abbas said in an interview in New York, where he is attending the UN General Assembly.Then we will begin negotiations on the details under a timeframe, which ought not to exceed six months, to reach a peace treaty, he added.The leader of the Palestinian Authority, who has met with several key foreign leaders during his stay in New York, said that the US-sponsored talks would open in Washington on November 15.We have noted that the whole world is interested in this meeting and attaches great hopes to its success, he added.
In his address to the UN General Assembly later Friday, Abbas called on the world to seize the opportunity at November's conference to work towards the creation of a Palestinian state.He said the US-sponsored talks offered a new beginning for serious negotiations leading to the end of the Israeli occupation that started in 1967 and the realization of the vision of two states.Is it not time to create an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital and to find a just solution... to the problem of refugees to put an end to the suffering that they have endured for six decades? he added.From this podium, I call upon the Israeli government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, with whom I have had in-depth talks, to break the cycle of missed opportunities, he added.Abbas told AFP that Palestinian and Israeli negotiators would start to tackle preparations for the gathering in the coming days.We want to prepare a framework agreement defining clear principles and without equivocation that will serve as a basis for the settlement. Immediately after the meeting we will hold negotiations on the basis of this document.
Key stumbling blocks in previous talks between Israel and the Palestinians have included the borders of a future Palestinian state, the fate of the Jewish settlements, the status of Jerusalem and the question of Palestinian refugees.We, the Israelis and the Arabs, must make this meeting succeed, he said.He said the members of the Middle East quartet, the permanent members of the UN Security Council, the follow up committee of the Arab League and certain countries from G8 and the non-aligned movement should take part in the talks.The international quartet, which groups the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia, issued a roadmap for Israeli-Palestinian peace in 2003 originally envisioning the creation of a Palestinian state by 2005.We hope that Syria and Lebanon will also participate in the meeting, he added. The United States announced this week that it would invite Syria to the talks, but Damascus has expressed reservations about taking part.
Asked whether an agreement could be applied in the Gaza Strip, where Hamas took power by force in June, Abbas called on the Islamist movement to place the interests of the Palestinian people above all other considerations.If the situation in the Gaza Strip returns to how it was (before Hamas seized power) we will be ready to talk, he said. But a recent flare-up in violence in the Gaza Strip, declared by Israel as a hostile entity and where 13 Palestinians were killed this week by Israeli attacks in response to militant rocket fire, has complicated the task. Israel, for its part, has sought to downplay expectations of a breakthrough at the November meeting, which prime minister Olmert has described as not a peace conference, but rather an international meeting.Abbas later met Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni but the two sides declined to make any comments at the end of the hour-long talks.
In Gaza, a Hamas spokesman reacted to Abbas' comments saying: any agreement that ignores the rights of Palestinian people is an agreement that will be refused by Hamas.

Spokeswoman dodges question about NAFTA Superhighways
Perino says president comfortable working with Mexico, Canada
September 28, 2007 - 1:00 a.m. Eastern - WorldNetDaily.com
President Bush is comfortable when the United States, Mexico and Canada work together on issues facing the continent, according to spokeswoman Dana Perino, even though Congress is considering a warning that the nation's sovereignty could be threaten by such efforts. She was responding to a question from Les Kinsolving, WND's correspondent at the White House. He asked: Inspired in part by The New York Times best-selling book, The Late Great U.S.A., a resolution in the House of Representatives opposing work on any NAFTA superhighway or moves towards merging the U.S., Mexico and Canada into a North American union now has 27 co-sponsors from both sides of the aisle. Do you support such legislation?
Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Va. (Photo: University of Virginia) I've not heard of such legislation, but I think we are very comfortable believing that there can be Mexico, the United States and Canada as three separate countries all working together, was her full response. The pending resolution expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada.It was launched by U.S. Reps. Virgil Goode, R-Va., Ron Paul, R-Texas, Walter B. Jones, R-N.C., and Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., and has been referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, in addition to the Committee on International Relations.
Nearly two dozen others now have joined with the effort, which says: Whereas, according to the Department of Commerce, United States trade deficits with Mexico and Canada have significantly widened since the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); Whereas the economic and physical security of the United States is impaired by the potential loss of control of its borders attendant to the full operation of NAFTA; Whereas a NAFTA Superhighway System from the west coast of Mexico through the United States and into Canada has been suggested as part of a North American Union; Whereas it would be particularly difficult for Americans to collect insurance from Mexican companies which employ Mexican drivers involved in accidents in the United States, which would increase the insurance rates for American drivers;
Whereas future unrestricted foreign trucking into the United States can pose a safety hazard due to inadequate maintenance and inspection, and can act collaterally as a conduit for the entry into the United States of illegal drugs, illegal human smuggling, and terrorist activities; and Whereas a NAFTA Superhighway System would be funded by foreign consortiums and controlled by foreign management, which threatens the sovereignty of the United States: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That – the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System; the United States should not enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada; and
the President should indicate strong opposition to these or any other proposals that threaten the sovereignty of the United States.
WNDN previously has reported the resolution is a message to both the executive and legislative branches. You won't hear the leadership in the Republic Party admit it, but there are many in the House and Senate who know that illegal immigration has to be stopped and legal immigration has to be reduced. We are giving away the country so a few very rich people can get richer, Goode told WND. How did he react when President Bush referred to those who suggest the Security and Prosperity Partnership could turn into the North American Union as conspiracy theorists? The president is really engaging in a play on words, Goode responded. The secretary of transportation came before our subcommittee, he explained, and I had the opportunity to ask her some questions about the NAFTA Superhighway. Of course, she answered, There's no NAFTA Superhighway. But then Mary Peters proceeded to discuss the road system that would come up from Mexico and go through the United States up into Canada.Goode is a member of the Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development of the House Committee on Appropriations. So, I think that saying we're conspiracy theorists or something like that is really just a play on words with the intent to demonize the opposition, Goode concluded.
Goode stressed that the Bush administration supports both a NAU regional government and a NAFTA Superhighway system: The Bush administration as well as Mexico and Canada have persons in the government in all three countries who want to a see a North American Union as well as a highway system that would bring goods into the west coast of Mexico and transport them up through Mexico into the United States and then in onto Canada, Goode confirmed.
The Virginia congressman said he believes the motivation behind the movement toward North American integration is the anticipated profits the large multinational corporations in each of the three countries expect to make from global trade, especially moving production to China. Some really large businesses that get a lot from China would like a NAFTA Superhighway system because it would reduce costs for them to transport containers from China and, as a result, increase their margins, he argued. I am vigorously opposed to the Mexican trucks coming into the country, Goode continued. The way we have done it and, I think, the way we should do it in the future, is to have the goods come into the United States from Mexico within a 20-mile commercial space and unloaded from Mexican trucks into U.S. trucks. This procedure enhances the safety of the country, the security of the country, and provides much less chance for illegal immigration.In a second question Kinsolving asked: Republican Congressman and presidential candidate Duncan Hunter's Restoring Patriotism to America's Campuses Act would bar Columbia University from receiving any federal money because it not only refuses to allow an ROTC on campus, but also because it invited [Iranian President Mahmoud} Ahmadinejad as a guest lecturer. And my question: Does the president believe that is right, or wrong? I haven't seen the legislation. And we have already said that Columbia University made its own decision, Perino said.
