In response to criticism of NRA VP Wayne LaPierre‘s suggestion that armed guards be placed in schools following the Sandy Hook massacre and the double standard presented by the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990, nationally syndicated radio talk show host Alex Jones has posted a petition on We the People: Your Voice in Our Government, the federal government’s petition website.
Alex’s petition reads as follows:
We Demand Obama Issue Executive Order Making White House, Federal Buildings and Events Gun Free Zones

Journalist Alex Jones and Infowars.com are calling for President Barack Obama to issue an executive order amending the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990. The executive order will establish the White House, all federal buildings and federal events as gun free zones and all federal security personnel will turn in their guns. We also demand the order apply to private schools such as Sidwell Friends School attended by the president’s daughters. This petition is a response to government and corporate media dismissing a call for armed guards at schools following the Sandy Hook shooting. Jones and Infowars.com believe there should not be a double standard. If the government believes gun free zones are a solution for citizens, the same standard should apply to government servants and employees.

“Since the government has bought over a billion rounds of ammo and armed vehicles and is hardening facilities, we are calling for them to all to turn their guns in, including all federal police… and the military,” Jones said on Friday prior to the petition post on the White House site.The petition follows remarks made by corporate media host David Gregory over the weekend. Gregory criticized LaPierre for his armed guards in schools idea. Following Gregory’s dismissive remarks, it was reported that the Meet the Press host enrolled his children in an elite school – the same D.C.-based Sidwell Friends attended by Obama’s children – where students are protected by no less than 11 armed security guards.“Gregory isn’t the only one putting himself in this hypocritical box, though,” writes Warner Todd Huston. “Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel was reportedly ‘outraged’ at the NRA’s security guard plan. But Emanuel also sends his kids to a school that has armed guards plying the hallways every school day. (Not to mention his fully armed personal security detail that shadows him everywhere he goes.)”Jones said on Friday that if the government truly believes in gun free zones, Obama should insist that Sidwell Friends and other elite schools disarm in order to comply with the federal law. “Because, according to them, that’s what makes us all safe,” Jones told Infowars.com.
Proponents of gun free zones and the 1990 law mandating them never mention the fact that mass murderers specifically target defenseless schools, theaters and malls because they know there will be little resistance to their rampages if a defense-free rule is in effect.We must stop blinding ourselves to the obvious: Most of these mass killings are happening at schools where self-defense is prohibited,” Carla Howell, executive director of the Libertarian Party, said in a statement following the Sandy Hook massacre. “Gun prohibition sets the stage for the slaughter of innocent children. We must repeal these anti-self-defense laws now to minimize the likelihood they will occur in the future and to the limit the damage done when they do.”
Despite Gregory’s dismissal and that of government officials and the corporate media, hiring armed security guards — and in lieu of that allowing teachers to carry firearms — is the only rational solution to mass shootings at schools.For some time now teachers in Israel have carried firearms in response to terrorist attacks. “Two (armed) teachers would have kept (the Newtown shooter) occupied for 45 seconds each,” Oren Shemtov, CEO of Israel’s Academy of Security and Investigation, told Fox News on December 27.
During his Sunday Show, Alex originally called for a government gun free zone and others posted petitions on the White House site in response (see Eliminate armed guards for the President, Vice-President, and their families, and establish Gun Free Zones around them). On Friday, Infowars.com journalist Adan Salazar covered this petition.

DNA of Sandy Hook killer Adam Lanza to be examined for 'evil' gene in first study of its kind ever conducted on a mass murderer

  • The study will be the first one of its kind and will evaluate any genetic evidence for the mass killing of 20 first graders, six members of staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School and his own mother.
By Paul Thompson

Scientists have been asked to study the DNA of Newtown school killer Adam Lanza to see if has an 'evil' gene that led him to carry out the massacre.The study, which will look at any abnormalities or mutations in his individual DNA, is believed to be the first of its kind ever carried out on a mass murderer.Lanza slaughtered 20 children and six adults in one of America's worst ever school shootings on December 14, 2012.The 20 year old also shot dead his mother Nancy before taking his own life as police closed in on him at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut.The massacre prompted President Obama to look into new gun controls and banning assault rifles such as AR-15 Bushmaster used by Lanza in his rampage.The study of the killer's DNA has been ordered by Connecticut Medical Examiner H. Wayne Carver who carried out the post mortems on all the victims.He has contacted geneticists at University of Connecticut's to conduct the study.Geneticists said they are likely looking at Lanza's DNA to detect a mutation or abnormality that could increase the risk of aggressive or violent behavior.They could analyse Lanza's entire genome in great detail and try to find any unexpected mutations.Arthur Beaudet, a professor at Baylor College of Medicine, said the University of Connecticut geneticists are most likely trying to 'detect clear abnormalities of what we would call a mutation in a gene'.He added: 'Or gene abnormalities and there are some abnormalities that are related to aggressive behavior.

'They might look for mutations that might be associated with mental illnesses and ones that might also increase the risk for violence.Beaudet, who is also the chairman of Baylor College of Medicine's department of molecular and human genetics in Houston, Texas said geneticists should be doing this type of research because there are 'some mutations that are known to be associated with at least aggressive behavior if not violent behavior.''I don't think any one of these mutations would explain all of (the mass shooters), but some of them would have mutations that might be causing both schizophrenia and related schizophrenia violent behavior,' Beaudet said. 'I think we could learn more about it and we should learn more about it.'
Beaudet,who is chairman of the Baylor College department of molecular and human genetics, said studying the genes of murderers is controversial because there is a risk that those with similar genetic characteristics could possibly be discriminated against or stigmatized.But he said the research into Lanza would be helpful even if only a "fraction" may have the abnormality or mutation.'Not all of these people will have identifiable genetic abnormalities,' Beaudet told ABC News in America.'By studying genetic abnormalities we can learn more about conditions better and who is at risk and what might be dramatic treatments,' Beaudet said, adding if the gene abnormality is defined the 'treatment to stop' other mass shootings or 'decrease the risk is much approved.'Police have so far failed to find a motive for Lanza going on the deadly rampage.Although known to be shy and social inept Lanza had not shown any violent streak although he was known to spend hours in the basement of his home playing violent video games.His mental condition may also have been affected by his 52 year old mum who was a 'prepper' and had stockpiled food and guns in readiness for a disaster.A six year old British boy, Dylan Hockley, was among the young victims gunned down the week before Christmas.




EPHESIANS 6:10-13
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,(DEMONIC ANGELS IN HIGH PLACES) against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.(SPIRTIUAL DEMONIC PERSONS)
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

LUKE 4:5-7(BECAUSE SATAN OFFERS WORLD POWER, WORLD ORDERERS HAVE ACCEPTED SATANS GIFT)
5 And the devil, taking him (JESUS) up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

DANIEL 7:23-25
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.(10 DIVISION WORLD GOVERNMENT)(10 TRADE BLOCS I BELIEVE)
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(ALL THE WORLDS CITIZENS UNDER DICTATORSHIP)
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,(WORLD SOCIALISM) 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.

We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.James Paul Warburg appearing before the Senate on 7th February 1950

Like a famous WWII Belgian General,Paul Henry Spock said in 1957:We need no commission, we have already too many. What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

Bilderberg-picked EU Leader Van Rompuy Calls for Global Governance With Russia

William F. Jasper New American Dec 28, 2012
While much of the Christian and post-Christian worlds were busy rushing about in last-minute preparations for Christmas celebrations, an important event took place in Brussels, Belgium, that went largely unnoticed and unreported. Leaders of the European Union and Russia met in Brussels on December 20 and 21 for the 30th EU-Russia Summit, continuing a process of convergence and interdependence that is leading toward political, economic, and social merger.In his remarks at the conclusion of the summit, Herman Van Rompuy, president of the European Council, made repeated reference to progress toward the goal of “global governance,” which has always been code in globalist circles for world government. Van Rompuy stated:
By working together, the EU and Russia can make a decisive contribution to global governance and regional conflict resolution, to global economic governance in the G 8 and G 20, and to a broad range of international and regional issues. I would like to congratulate President Putin for taking over the presidency of G 20.
As we have reported in this magazine many times, the term “global governance” is an intentionally deceptive term, used by political ruling elites because it is more vague and mushy and sounds less threatening than “global government” or “world government.”  Hence, there will be less political opposition mounted to “global governance” than “world government.”“Global governance” came into vogue in the late 1990s, following the publication in 1995 of Our Global Neighborhood, a report of the UN-appointed Commission on Global Governance. That report attempted emphatically to assure readers that they had nothing to fear; they were not proposing world government. It claimed:Global governance is not global government. No misunderstanding should arise from the similarity of the terms. We are not proposing movement towards world government.United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan practiced the same semantic sleight-of-hand and false assurance at the UN Millennium Summit in New York City in 2000. In his report We the Peoples: The Role of the United Nations in the 21st Century, Annan called for “new forms of global governance,” “a new ethic of global stewardship,” “global norms,” and “global rules” — all of which assume a role for the UN as global legislator.Then Annan addressed the rational apprehension that many people would harbor concerning these new proposals for restructuring the world. “What do we mean by ‘governance’ when applied to the international realm?” he asked. “In the minds of some,” he said, “the term still conjures up images of world government, of centralized bureaucratic behemoths trampling on the rights of people and states.” These fearful conjurations, he assured us, have no basis in reality. “Nothing is less desirable” than world government, said Annan, insisting that “the very notion of centralizing hierarchies is itself an anachronism in our fluid, highly dynamic and extensively networked world — an outmoded remnant of nineteenth century mindsets.”However, only months prior to the Millennium Summit and Kofi Annan’s report, on February 26, 1999, Sir Shridath Ramphal, a co-chairman of the Commission on Global Governance, addressed the Commission’s meeting in Barcelona, Spain, and gave a very different take on the matter. Ramphal stated:The point I am making is that when we talk of “governance” and “democracy,” we have to look beyond governance within countries and democracy within states. We have to look to Global Governance and Democracy within the Global State.A Global “State” with a capital “S” signifies a world “State,” a world government. And Ramphal emphasized that in the conclusion of his talk by celebrating the end of the “Nation State.” He declared:As the Century of the Nation State ends, however, to a far greater degree than their governments, people recognize … they understand that the roads to justice and survival are conjoined; that the task is to bring the mutual interests and the moral impulses of mankind together.Many of the political elites who formerly dismissed concerns that “global governance” is a ruse for “global government,” now matter-of-factly admit that they are one and the same. Jacques Attali, an ardent globalist and an adviser to former President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, for instance, has said: “Global governance is just a euphemism for global government.”
Van Rompuy — Tapped by Bilderbergers
Attali is a veteran attendee of the annual meetings of the super-secret, super-elite Bilderberg Group. Which brings us back to Herman Van Rompuy, frequently referred to as “Bilderberg Van Rompuy,” a reference to his having received his current job title through the actions and influence of the Bilderbergers. In a November 17, 2009 article for the U.K.’s Guardian, entitled “Who speaks for Europe? Criticism of ‘shambolic’ process to fill key jobs,” Ian Traynor wrote:Van Rompuy met Kissinger at a closed session of international policymakers and industrialists chaired by Viscount Etienne Davignon, a discreetly powerful figure in Brussels who was vice-president of the European commission in the 1980s. The viscount currently chairs the Bilderberg Group, the shadowy global freemasonry of politicians and bankers who meet to discuss world affairs in the strictest privacy, spawning innumerable conspiracy theories. Van Rompuy, it seems, attended the Bilderberg session to audition for the European job, calling for a new system of levies to fund the EU and replace the perennial EU budget battles.Jon Ronson, another reporter at the Guardian, interviewed Lord Denis Healey, one of the founders of the Bilderberg Group, for a 2001 article entitled, “Who Pulls the Strings?” Although Lord Healey insisted the group was not conspiratorial at all, he confirmed that they are working in the direction of world government. Ronson wrote:This is how Denis Healey described a Bilderberg person to me: “To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair. Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn’t go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless. So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing.”He said, “Bilderberg is a way of bringing together politicians, industrialists, financiers and journalists. Politics should involve people who aren’t politicians. We make a point of getting along younger politicians who are obviously rising, to bring them together with financiers and industrialists who offer them wise words. It increases the chance of having a sensible global policy.”David Rockefeller, a longtime leader at Bilderberg conclaves, was even more explicit when addressing the 1991 meeting of the Bilderberg group. Rockefeller stated:We are grateful to the Washington PostThe New York TimesTime Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.That statement and other remarks from the Bilderberg meeting were obtained by French intelligence agents, who were tasked with monitoring the gathering, because of the obvious implications for French national interests and security. The information was then leaked to two French publications. Hilaire du Berrier, a contributing editor to The New American, verified the authenticity of the reports through his friend, former head of French intelligence, Count Alexander de Marenches, and other sources, and provided the first account in English in his Monaco-based monthly HduB Reports in September 1991. It was then published shortly thereafter in The New American. What seemed outlandish to many people at the time, and was frequently dismissed as kooky “conspiracy theory,” is being confirmed daily in unfolding events — and admissions from those who are causing the events to happen

Savage behavior


28 December 2012: Gun and ammunition sales have been rising over the last few years, as have the number of concealed weapon permits being issued across the country. Please note I am not referring to the recent panic buying spree of semi-automatic weapons since the Sandy Hook school shooting. What the real reason behind the rise of weapon sales and increase in concealed carry permits? Who might be to blame, or if you a manufacturer or gun store owner, who could be thanked?  What if I told you it is national talk show host Michael Savage? Don’t believe me? Read on.

Reason for owning an “assault weapon”
Contrary to the recent claims by Progressives, err, Socialists is that men who own such big and scary guns is to compensate for physical deficiencies below the waist, owning a semi-automatic weapon is due to the realization that the government will not be able to protect you when needed, or will simply not protect you at all. While everyone points to major visible natural disasters and man-made crises from hurricanes to riots, there is a much more subtle and arguably, much more serious threat that everyone seems to be missing. It is no better illustrated by the situation of well-known talk show host Michael Savage.Regardless of what you think of him or his beliefs, everyone should be paying very close attention to his plight, especially if you have strong opinions and are willing to voice them. In May of 2009, Dr. Savage learned that he was banned from traveling to Great Britain “because his views might provoke violence.” He was on a list of 22 people, the names of 16 which were released by Great Britain Home Secretary Jacqui Smith. After three-and-a-half years, he is still banned for having legitimate opinions and voicing them. Our government has done absolutely nothing to intervene on his behalf or protect his right to freedom of speech. Wait, you might ask, what does this have to do with the push to ban certain weapons in the U.S? Plenty, if you understand the actual agenda of those behind the coming weapons ban, and not the official story line spewed ad nauseum by our elected officials and their lapdog media.
They are not JUST coming for your guns
To most Americans, including those who have been paying attention, it would seem that the core issue is the prohibition of certain types of weapons, ostensibly to avert another mass shooting. Upon closer scrutiny, however, it is much more. It is a magic act being performed right in front of you, and Michael Savage was the first talk show host to be tossed into the global cauldron of forced tolerance and involuntary censorship. He was added to a witch’s brew with real terrorists with evil intent, whose possession of roadside bombs far outnumber their opinions and whose ability to cause death and destruction exist by their actions, not by someone else’s reaction. Of those on the banned travel list stewing in the global “mind-think,” Dr Savage is the sole “tincture of opinion” in the brew, and there’s room for you in the cauldron. The recipe even demands it.Have you noticed that anyone who has recently voiced support for an American’s Second Amendment rights has been systematically vilified by those in opposition, such that it is virtually impossible to have an honest, intelligent conversation about the issue? This is not an accident, but an agenda. It is an agenda of vilification, of the planned prohibition of not only “scary guns,” but of “scary talk.” It is characterizing vocal resistance to a government agenda as a prohibited behavior. It is forcing tolerance to fit a very specific, government sanctioned ideology, beyond which becomes not only an exhibit of intolerance, but of an intent intolerable to the government.The issue of banning weapons is only the visible part of the magic act where the weapons are only the props. The real act is taking place behind the smoke onstage, where a legitimate and rational opinion that happens to be at odds with the government’s agenda is the real target. It is the plight of Dr. Savage in living color.As the rights bestowed upon Americans by the First and Second Amendments to the U.S. Constitution are inextricably linked, the government is not only intending to prohibit our possession of certain weapons, but of certain opinions. This is not merely an attack on our Second Amendment rights, but a method to take away our ability to exercise those granted to us by the First Amendment. It is YOU they are after, if your opinions don’t conform to their purpose.
First they came for Michael Savage…
The government of the United States of America has failed to protect the First Amendment rights Michael Savage, as an American citizen. They willfully and knowingly failed to stand up for the rights of an American citizen who has done nothing more than voice his opinions while standing on American soil. They permitted the ideology of one nation, the very nation from which we fought and won independence, to violate the rights of one man of high profile and visibility. Moreover, they tolerated Mr. Savage being listed among the most heinous criminals to walk the earth for the appearance of “balance,” a fact admitted in official government correspondence, because the list contained so many Muslim extremists.The issue here goes well beyond the prohibition of guns. It is the intended prohibition of any ideology antithetical to the government which has been guaranteed through our right to bear arms, including that right itself. For his opinions, Michael Savage has been banned from traveling to the U.K. and apparently everybody, including the U.S. government, is okay with that. It is an acquiescence or even a tacit approval of tyranny. We must never forget that the reason for the Second Amendment is to fight tyranny.While Michael Savage is the most visible victim of such tyranny, it will not end with him. Absent of taking a firm, united and unmovable stand now for our rights as Americans under the Second Amendment, there will be more talk show hosts, more writers, more people with opinions to fall victim of government sanctioned oppression. If they can do what they’ve done to a man of his visibility, just imagine what they can do to you.We are the real targets, and as exhibited by the restrictions placed on Mr. Savage, it is clear that the U.S. government will not protect us. We must protect ourselves and each other. Clearly, it is us who are the real targets and the planned prohibition of our guns is just the most expedient means to an end. His current plight, that of being on a list of terrorists and evildoers just for having and speaking an opinion contrary that some find intolerant, unacceptable and soon to be prohibited, is an active example of what every American who has recently bought a gun sees unfolding. They are seeing through the magician’s fog, and the government must maintain the magic show at all costs.
They came for Savage, and no one spoke out. When they come for you, who will be left?Their tactics are clear. The government wants to prevent “Savage behavior”, or the behavior of possessing and expressing opinions. It begins with vilification, will proceed to confiscation, and then to elimination. History is repeating itself.
In Pursuit of the Truth. 

The Christmas link to 9/11

25 December 2012: Merry Christmas, everyone. Well, sort of. I ask that you slowly back away from your eggnog and take a few minutes to consider what you are about to read. Let me warn you, though, that you might not like what I am about to write, as it could turn your way of looking at things upside down. Regardless, it is important to know and understand as it just might answer some very important questions and concerns about events currently taking place around us.

As Christians, we have been led to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus on this day, December 25. As a believer myself in the Holy Bible and a believer that Jesus was born, died and rose from the dead, I believe the birth of Jesus is to be celebrated. My Christian faith is solid and unshakable. My belief in the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus is also unshakeable.
As an investigator, however, I have a quality that some people find at times to be bothersome – a desire for details and truth, especially of historical events and facts related to such events. During my nearly 30 years as an investigator, I’ve been compared to “Columbo” more than once by people I’ve interviewed, and it was never meant to be complimentary. I don’t like to be lied to, and suspect that you don’t either.
So, what does Christian faith and the trait of persistence for truth have to do with Christmas and the actual date of the birth of Jesus? Even more appropriately, why should you, the reader, care or give it a second thought? Because it figures into present day events more than you realize.Lest you believe what I am about to write is irrelevant to the present, read on, because it might very well change the manner in which you look at recent events of major historical significance. Accepted with an open mind and pure spirit, it might even shake you to your core. It will not upset your Christian faith, but perhaps strengthen it.  It will help you put into context certain historical and current events that until now, have been surrounded by questions and whose questioners labeled as conspiracy nuts. Such revelations will help you understand certain lies that we have been forced to believe as fact, and just how exceedingly deep those lies go.Before proceeding, I wish to acknowledge the magnificent research of Gary Bell, commonly referred to ‘the Spaceman” and the host of A View from Space. His program is broadcast live every Saturday night on AM 640 in Toronto. Not to be confused with Art Bell, Gary Bell does a three-and-a-half hour weekly radio program. In a refreshing but demanding departure from the norm, he takes no calls and has no guests. This format allows him to delve deeply into important topics and lay out evidence in a manner that would make even Columbo proud. His program last Saturday was dedicated to the actual date of the birth of Jesus, and the evidence he presented was outstanding. For better or worse, so too were his findings, which is the inspiration for my report.
Where’s the Birth Certificate?
Unlike Barack Hussein Obama II or Barry Soetoro, Jesus was never issued a Certificate of Live Birth (COLB), yet more historical evidence exists for His date and place of birth than the current occupant of the White House. Like the current denizen of the White House, however, there has always been some level of controversy over His birth. Not the location or his parentage, both which have been well recorded, but the actual date of His birth.For over a millennium, Christians have been led to celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25., and the Julian and Gregorian calendars are fashioned after the year of His birth with the designation of “Anno Domini,” or A.D., and B.C., or “Before Christ.” Hence, we are currently in the year 2012 A.D. based on the birth of Jesus. But is this accurate and if not, who really cares? As it happens, we all should, as the findings relative to the actual birth date of Jesus will open an entirely new aspect of questions of current events, and reveal the sinister agenda of those behind the lies we are watching play out before us every day. Unsettling questions about significant and stunning events.Last month, Pope Benedict XVI caused a bit of a stir when he released his book Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives, which questioned the accuracy of the date of the birth of Jesus. Despite not being the intent of the book, it was a topic on which many people seemed to focus. Perhaps without such intent, the book opened new questions into the topic. It also caused many people to re-examine the Biblical and historical account of Jesus’ birth. Interesting timing at the very least.
The real birth date of Jesus: a key to understanding good & evil
There are several keys to identifying the exact date and even a two-hour window of time of the birth of Jesus. The investigative research required to detail the exact date of the birth of Jesus is well outside the scope of this column, but it is available for those wanting to perform such research. A good place to start is, of course, the Holy Bible. From there, one is able to match astronomical charts based on the famous “star” signifying the birth of Jesus. Again, that is simply for starters as there is much more evidence that exists.
But so what? What if Jesus was not born on December 25, what does it matter? Does that make His birth any less real, or does that diminish our belief in Him in any way? Of course not, and of this I wish to be absolutely and perfectly clear.However, I want to be abundantly clear about something else. We are presently engaged in a battle between good and evil. It is as much a spiritual war as it is a real, earthly war. Those with spiritual discernment can sense it. If you cannot, I would kindly ask you to simply stop reading now, go back to your eggnog, and accept my apology for the few minutes you invested to this point. To all others, please read on.According to extensive research and investigation, all of which has been well documented, the actual date of the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior was on September 11 in the year known by today’s calendar as 3 B.C. This date alone has tremendous historical significance beyond being the birth date of Jesus.September 11, 3 B.C. is recorded as Tishri 1 on Jewish calendar – the Jewish New Year’s Day, the Day of Trumpets or Rosh Hashanah. That day holds significant and profound importance for the birth of the Messiah as it marks a “new beginning” for earth and the anniversary or renewal of creation. It’s also Noah’s accepted birth date as well as the date that Noah removed the cover from the ark.That’s right, September 11 is not only the birth date of Jesus, but a date of significant Judeo-Christian spiritual importance as a “new beginning.” Please contemplate that for a moment.
“Illuminating” the darkness
Understanding that September 11 is the actual birth date of our Lord and Savior, a date of pure goodness and Godliness and a date signifying a new beginning, it should open your eyes to the evil forces that are working to pervert and mock God, to advance the agenda of the very people who want to convolute good into evil, and to fool us into believing lies. I know I am treading on some very tricky ground here, but I’ll take the risk and ask you to look at the larger picture.For generations, talk of the end of days, the anti-Christ and Armageddon have held people’s interest. There’s always been a fascination of this final battle between good and evil. Believers of the Holy Bible know how the battle ends, but we often fail to consider the details of the battle. Evil is built on subtle deception, and often the devil is in the details.To expose evil is to illuminate its lies. To defeat evil is to understand how it works. And part of that understanding is to identify the people and groups behind the forces of evil. Such talk is often associated with conspiracy theories and shadowy figures, including the talk of a “New World Order.” Such references are usually mocked and the topic is marginalized and the messengers attacked as nuts. Considering what you’ve just read, might you reconsider your previous dismissals and reevaluate the facts and official narratives of certain events?
The day the world changed
Consider the implications of the true date of the birth of Jesus, identified as September 11 in the year 3 B.C. according to our current calendar. A birth that marked the change of the world over two thousand years ago. The beginning of a new age.Now consider the purveyors of evil, in their most audacious and grandiose objective, to use the birth date of Jesus to bring down the Judeo-Christian nation of the United States. September 11, 2001 is often referred to as the day that changed the world. Could this be one of the most grand mockeries of God ever perpetuated on the world? Could the attacks of September 11, 2001, have been used to kick off the start of a third world war – the very actions we are seeing taking shape today?
Is it not the trait of evil to hide in plain sight, and to deceive even the very elect if possible? While everyone is looking for a hidden evil, would it not be the ultimate deception to hide, or exist and even flourish in plain sight? Could it be that the talk of a New World Order” is actually the ushering in of a new age of evil at the sound of the final trumpet? Just what are the odds of the day that changed the world in 2001 falling on the birth date of Jesus and the day that changed the world two millennia ago? Something evil this way comes. The truth has been buried beneath lies and evil is rapidly on the march right before our very eyes. It is necessary for each of us to search for the truth with spiritual discernment, and to open our eyes to the lies before us – before it is too late.It is time to re-examine everything we’ve been told and reassess every person and every event through the prism of spiritual discernment and Biblical principles. It is time to identify evil for what it is, the purveyors of evil for who they are, and accept nothing but truth over lies and deception.  Not only does our earthly existence depend upon it, but so does our eternal salvation.We should celebrate the birth of our Savior, but not fall victim to a false narrative. We must know the difference to avoid falling for an even bigger deception from whence there is no return.

American Gun Owners to be Fingerprinted and Registered: Feinstein Announces Nightmare Plan

Infowars.com
December 27, 2012

California Democrat Dianne Feinstein will introduce legislation in January calling for the fingerprinting and registering of all gun owners in the United States.On her Senate web page, Feinstein states her proposed legislation will add fingerprinting and photo identification to the National Firearms Act.A firearms seller must currently submit Form 4473 to the government containing the name, address, driver license information, NICS background check transaction number, serial number and model of the firearm, and a short federal affidavit stating that the purchaser is eligible to purchase firearms under federal law. Feinstein’s bill will add a substantial layer of bureaucracy to the existing regulations.The effort to expand firearms registration will include weapons grandfathered prior to the enactment of Feinstein’s proposed legislation. In other words, all gun owners will be required to register their constitutionally guaranteed firearms with a federal government inimical to the Second Amendment.Feinstein’s registration process will likely surpass New York City’s handgun permit process, which is a bureaucratic nightmare. In addition to non-refundable fees totaling over $500, the permit process demands two recent color photos, a birth certificate, proof of citizenship and residence, a blizzard of affidavits, and other red-tape hurdles. Applications are routinely denied for spurious reasons, including non-violent misdemeanors and depression.As Dean Weingarten notes, gun registration is de facto gun confiscation. Following mandatory gun registration, the government “will know who has legal possession of each firearm. They will know where the firearm is stored. When physical possession of the gun is desired, they can order you to turn it in. This has happened repeatedly,” most notably in Nazi Germany, Red China and Soviet Russia.More recently, it has occurred in Kosovo, Great Britain, Australia, New York, and California. If Feinstein has her way next month, it will happen across America.Democrats and their Republican co-conspirators are going all out to ban firearms. Feinstein’s bill will ban the sale, transfer, importation, and manufacturing of 120 specifically-named firearms, including semiautomatic rifles, handguns, and shotguns that can accept detachable and fixed magazines and have “one military characteristic.”
In addition, Feinstein’s bill will outlaw flash suppressors, bayonet mounts, thumbhole stocks and bullet buttons on firearms.Make no mistake about it. Obama and his anti-Second Amendment allies in Congress are coming for your guns. If they have their way, the only legal firearms in America will be rifles with 10 round magazines and single shot and bolt-action rifles – and those firearms will be registered with the government and may be confiscated at any moment.This article was posted: Thursday, December 27, 2012 at 1:15 pm

‘Guns are bad!’ CounterThink cartoon reveals hypocrisy of government gun confiscation schemes

Mike Adams
Natural News
Dec 28, 2012
While the U.S. government is desperately attempting to disarm the American population by rolling out Adolf Hitler-style gun control, it is simultaneously arming itself to the teeth, buying up 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition and now stockpiling it at ammo depot stations around the country.The hypocrisy of it all is stunning. While screaming, “GUNS ARE BAD!” to American farmers, ranchers and citizens, the government is buying up billions of dollars worth of guns and ammo itself. This isn’t ammo to be used in a foreign theater of war, by the way, it’s ammo that can only be used domestically, against the American people. (The hollow point ammo violates international war treaties and so cannot be used in international war actions.)
To help us all visualize the hypocrisy in the government’s gun control schemes, I came up with our latest Counterthink cartoon.

Here’s the cartoon:

Feel free to post this cartoon on your own website, but please give credit to the original source, which is NaturalNews.com / Counterthink.com.In addition to purchasing 450 million rounds of hollow point .40 caliber ammo, the U.S. government has also purchased:
• Over one million rounds of hollow-point .223 rifle ammo
• Over half a million rounds of non-hollow-point .223 rifle ammo
• 220,000 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun #7 ammo (target ammo)
• Over 200,000 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun #00 buckshot ammo (tactical anti-personnel ammo)
• 66,000 rounds of 12 gauge shotgun slugs (tactical anti-personnel, anti-vehicle rounds)
• Over two million rounds of hollow-point .357 Sig JPH (hollow-point) pistol ammo (anti-personnel)
• Over four million rounds of .40 S&W JPH (hollow-point) pistol ammo (anti-personnel)
• Over 60,000 rounds of .308 match grade anti-personnel sniper rounds (BTHP)
• Plus, hundreds of thousands of additional rounds of .38 special, .45 auto, 9mm, 7.62×39 (AK rifle) ammo, and others.

ISRAEL AIR FORCE SLIMMER -STRONGER FOR 2013

KING JESUS IS COMING FOR US ANY TIME NOW. THE RAPTURE. BE PREPARED TO GO.

Video: Suha Arafat Admits 2000 War of Terror was Premeditated

Arafat’s widow admits that her husband decided long before Sharon’s visit to Temple Mount that he would launch war of terror against Israel.

Yasser Arafat’s widow, Suha, admitted that the late leader of the “Palestinian” people had decided long before former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s contentious visit to the Temple Mount that he would launch a war of terror, a.k.a. “Intifada”, against the Jewish state.Sharon’s visit unleashed a wave of intense international condemnations and was widely, yet falsely, believed to have provided the impetus for the war of terror that was waged against the state of Israel.The Intifada began when a PA policeman shot and killed  IDF soldier Yossi Tabega who was sitting next to him on a joint jeep patrol.Widely known as “The Second Intifada” or “The Oslo War,” the murderous onslaught peaked during 2001-2002 and was more or less over by 2007.According to the Foreign Ministry website, during the reign of terror over 1,200 Israelis, most of them civilians, were murdered in buses, on roads, in cafes and restaurants, with tens of thousands more maimed, scarred and bereaved.“Yasser Arafat had made a decision to launch the Intifada,” Suha told Dubai TV on December 16, in an interview translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).“Camp David had failed, and he said to me: ‘You should remain in Paris.’”“I asked him why and he said: ‘Because I am going to start an Intifada. They want me to betray the Palestinian cause. They want me to give up on our principles, and I will not do so.’”“’I do not want Zahwah’s friends in the future to say that Yasser Arafat abandoned the Palestinian cause and principles. I might be martyred, but I shall bequeath our historical heritage to Zahwa and to the children of Palestine,’” Suha said in the words of her late husband, referring to their daughter.Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak had offered to withdraw from 97 percent of Judea and Samaria, as well as 100 percent of Gaza. In addition, he agreed to dismantle 63 Jewish communities. In exchange for the 5 percent annexation of Jewish lands, Israel would increase the size of the Gaza territory by roughly a third.Barak also made concessions on Jerusalem that many Israelis find unthinkable, agreeing that Arabs would maintain control over their holy places and have "religious sovereignty" over the Temple Mount.Arafat flatly rejected the proposal, which has been more that any Israeli leader had offered in the past, deciding, instead, to unleash a war of terror against the State of Israel.

Air Force Says It’s Slimmer and Stronger for 2013

The Israeli Air Force has cut manpower while advancing technologically towards 2013, says its mission is a “quick victory.”

IAF Surgical Targeting
IAF Surgical Targeting-IDF Spokesman
The Israeli Air Force has cut manpower while advancing technologically towards 2013, and it describes its mission is achieving a "quick victory".In a meeting with senior commanders of the IAF, the head of the Research Department of the Intelligence Division said that regime changes in the Middle East and technological developments in hostile countries probably will be very significant changes next year.
IAF Commander Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel said that the Air Force is caught between a need to make improvements and the “need to streamline and control manpower."The IDF is also working on a multi-year plan covering many new and unknown threats, from nuclear scenarios to rockets. This multi-year plan likewise uses limited resources and is based upon estimations of social and economic changes in Israel.
The Air Force sees a need for a “rapid victory” in future battles and plans to significantly improve strike capabilities – a goal that necessitates many changes in the makeup of the training program. "We will need to be sharp, ready, and capable, and to have solid fundamentals as an anchor," said Head of the Air Division Brig. Gen. Amikam Norkin.In the coming year, the activity of the IAF's unmanned aerial vehicles will increase, the future combat plane F-35 will be integrated into the force, and the use of advanced ammunition will be expanded. The IAF will also receive a new Hercules transport plane and a new instructional plane for combat pilot cadets.On the defensive and Civil Defense fronts, the Air Defense Formation will establish new capabilities on various levels of defense, and the Magic Wand (David's Sling) active missile defense system will become operational.The Intelligence Division will invest in developing operative intelligence and is expected to make advancements in its satellite capabilities. The Air Force is also planning on expanding capabilities to fight web-based terror, investing in information systems and cyber defense.

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.

Monti tables political manifesto, comeback plan still unclear
Today @ 09:32 DEC 27,12 By Valentina Pop
Outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti has tabled his own political manifesto, but his comeback plans are unclear as he remains reluctant to join any political force ahead of the February elections.Over the Christmas period, Monti seemed to have entered campaigning mode. He posted a 25-page manifesto and wrote on his Twitter page: "Together, we saved Italy from disaster. Now we have to renew politics. Complaining won't help anything. Rolling up sleeves will. Let's rise to politics!"The "Monti agenda" contains all the arguments for his comeback as prime minister without explicitly saying it. It mentions Italy taking a more prominent role in European negotiations; the need for structural reforms; cutting back the country's crushing debt; taking on the mafia; tax evasion and promoting women to top management positions.Centrist politicians from smaller parties and civic movements, such as Pier Ferdinando Casini from the Catholic UDC and former foreign minister Franco Frattini, have already endorsed his manifesto, possibly setting the ground for a centrist coalition running on his behalf in the early elections due in February.Monti last weekend said he would "weigh the option" were a coalition of parties to adhere to his agenda and propose him for the top job. But he made no clear commitment prompting Italian commentators to nickname him the "hesitant candidate."The risk for Monti is that once he is clearly affiliated with a political camp, he will only get a fraction of the vote and not enough to form a majority in the parliament.His political foe, former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, has resumed attacks on Monti saying it would be "immoral" for him to stand for election after having served as an unelected premier.Members of Berlusconi's party, the People of Freedom, have also attacked Monti's manifesto, calling it "pure propaganda.""Monti did not save Italy, he merely reaped the merits of four year of work by Berlusconi", said Gianfranco Rotondi, a PDL deputy.As for the Pope, who resides in the state of Vatican within the Italian capital, his Christmas message was as close as it could get to a political endorsement for Monti.He urged people to "reflect, favour the spirit of cooperation for the common good and lead to a reflection on the hierarchy of values when making the most important of choices."Monti does not need to run in the elections to become a prime minister again, as he has a life-long parliamentary appointment as senator.But the fact that the former EU commissioner never stood for office posed a legitimacy problem when he took over from Berlusconi late in 2011.A possible pact with the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), poised to win the elections, may lead to Monti coming back. But only if the radical left allies are not part of the coalition, the Financial Times reports.PD leader Pier Luigi Bersani, leader of the Democrats, has so far given a cautious response to Monti's manifesto, saying there was “nothing surprising, with some things we agree, others a bit less, and others we can discuss." 

Land border sealed, Greek police chief says

Today @ 08:39 DEC 27,12 By Nikolaj Nielsen
Orestiadas, Greece - A chief of police in a border town in northeastern Greece says irregular migrants are no longer crossing into the country from its land border with Turkey.Barbed-wire fences, landmines, thermal night vision cameras and regular patrols are among the tools used to stop a phenomenon the Greek state considers a national security threat.Some 55,000 people were detected attempting to wade across the Evros River into Greece from Turkey in the region in 2011.The figures have now dropped to near zero, says Pashalis Syritoudis, director of police in the run-down Greek border village of Orestiadas."In July 2012 we had 6,500 illegal migrants who passed the border. In August, we had only 1,800. In September, only 71 illegal immigrants, in October only 26 and now there are none," he told EUobserver on 22 November.
Orestiadas is six kilometres west of the Evros river on the Greek-Turkish border.It is home to a large number of Greek police officers, military personnel and staff from the EU's Warsaw-based border control agency, Frontex.From his modest office at the police headquarters, Syritoudis oversees border operations in a jurisdiction that covers an 80-km-long stretch of the Evros river as well as the 12.5-km-long land border with Turkey.He says the trend stopped since Greece launched Operation Xenious Zeus in early August.
Migrants are now targeting the more treacherous sea crossings near Lesvos, Sumos, Symi and the Farmkonis islands instead."We have given a very clear message to the facilitators [migrant smugglers] and their source countries in North Africa and other countries that Evros is no longer an easy passage to enter Europe," Syritoudis noted.Further south in a three-star hotel in Didymoteicho, Greek border guards take a rest from their shifts on patrol.One officer, who did not want to give his name, told this website that his unit apprehended a young man from Pakistan in the winter whose hand had frozen solid."We had to cut off his hand. He told us to send him back, that he was now useless to his family. We felt sorry for him, not because he lost his hand, but because he was no longer a value to his family," he said.He said he had also seen pregnant women and young girls trying to cross the river. In one case, a Pakistani woman had a baby on the road just 10 days before crossing the river."You begin to understand that things must be terrible for them to take such risks and I really feel for them but at the same time we feel unnerved, unsettled by their presence and numbers. We are terrified by this invasion," the officer said.

Land mines lurk in Greek village

Further south still, outside Syritoudis' jurisdiction, the remnants of a decades-old conflict remain buried beneath the soil of rural villages.A skull and crossbones marks the entrance to a tiny road that leads to Gemisti, a small Greek village just a few metres away from the Egnatia A2 motorway where lorries queue to enter Turkey.Behind the sign, buried in the thick brush, are anti-vehicle mines.They are a legacy from the second world war and the 1946–1949 conflict in the Western Macedonia and Epirus regions in northern Greece.But they also killed over 100 people trying to get through the strip between 1998 and 2008, says Geneva-based Landmine Monitor.Greece signed a convention in 2005 that prohibits the use, stockpiling and transfer of anti-personnel mines as well as obliging signatories to uproot and destroy any mines left in their domain.But the land in the Gemisti region is still deadly."They [migrant smugglers] would lead the migrants through the fields to clear a way. They would lie to them and say it was safe," an elderly lady - who runs one of the two village cafes and who declined to give her name - told this website.The same story was repeated in Peplos, another village a few kilometres from Gemisti."Many times the Turks would tell the migrants to walk through the mines and some stepped on them ... When we found them, we would call the military to come pick up the bodies,” Michalis, an elderly farmer, said.The Greek military did uproot almost 30,000 antipersonnel mines in 57 sites along the Turkish border in 2009, but left behind ones which are designed to be detonated by heavy vehicles such as tanks."The majority of casualties occurred at the border between Greece and Turkey [102], two at the border with Bulgaria, and the location of four remains unknown," the NGO, the research arm of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, told this website in an email.

Who were they?

Most of the dead people were Iraqis. But the nationalities of almost half were never properly identified.
Greece has not recorded any casualties since 2008, but Landmine Monitor said "there is a fair possibility that the data collection is not complete."
Meanwhile, a 2012 report declassified in April by the Greek ministry of defence notes that barbed wire has been added to keep people out of almost all the minefields in the border region.
But it added that migrants become victims because they are led by smugglers to the border along the River Evros at night and then instructed to ignore mine fences and markings.
"Sometimes they are even aided in cutting the wire and led into minefields," the report said.

Hinting at war crimes charges, UK minister attacks Israel for East Jerusalem construction plans

Alistair Burt also calls for reversal of Ariel University upgrade; praises Mahmoud Abbas for ‘measured response’ to Israel’s ‘profoundly provocative actions’

December 27, 2012, 6:17 pm 17-THE Times of Israel

A British minister on Thursday harshly condemned Israel for its plans to expand construction in East Jerusalem and for conferring university status on a college in the West Bank city of Ariel, employing damning language rarely used by government officials.While international outcries following Israeli announcements of construction beyond the Green Line are a common occurrence, UK Minister for the Middle East Alistair Burt took the unusual step of mentioning the Geneva Conventions, likely implying that settlement expansion is considered a war crime under international law.The move is being seen by some as an intensification of rhetoric in response to Israel’s increasingly aggressive avowals to broaden its settlement enterprise.In his statement, Burt said he and Foreign Secretary William Hague last week expressed “condemnation and deep disappointment” at the Jerusalem District Planning and Building Committee’s approval of 1,500 housing units in Ramat Shlomo. They also denounced recently announced plans for additional construction in the Givat Hamatos and Gilo neighborhoods, which are beyond the Green Line.“These are further profoundly provocative actions that run contrary to the Fourth Geneva Convention,” Burt stated. “By taking these steps, despite the international community repeatedly raising our profound concerns, the Israeli government is damaging Israel’s international reputation.”Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states that an occupying power “shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” This is the basis for the position of international bodies, such as the United Nations and the European Union, to consider Israeli settlements beyond the Green Line illegal under international law.
Violations of the 1949 Geneva Convention are considered war crimes under international law. Israel is a party to the convention and therefore bound by its obligations.According to Israel advocate Irwin Cotler, a former Canadian justice minister and expert on international law, Burt’s evoking of the Geneva Convention marks a “gradual ratcheting up” of criticism in light of Israel’s increasingly assertive settlement policy. While international human right activists have in the past quoted the convention to incriminate Israel, Western government officials have lately refrained from mentioning it in relation to Israeli settlements.“At first the settlements were unhelpful, then they became an obstacle to peace; from there they went to being illegal, from there to being contrary to international law, and now they are violating the Geneva Conventions,” Cotler told The Times of Israel. “It seems that this signifies a calibrated indictment reciprocal to the increasing affirmations of the Israeli government’s settlement policy.”Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor called the word choice “disappointing.”“The Palestinian interpretation of the applicability of the Fourth Geneva Convention to the West Bank and to settlements therein is highly controversial and stands in contradiction with a great number of legal opinions by leading experts,” Palmor said. “It is therefore disappointing to see that a [Foreign Office] minister should adopt the contested Palestinian position hook, line and sinker, thus adding controversy where it is already in excess.”In trying to fend off such attacks, Israel usually refers to a clause in the convention that says regulations only apply to “High Contracting Parties” — in other words, signatory states. Since the West Bank and East Jerusalem were not within the recognized territory of any contracting party when Israel captured them, they are to be considered disputed territories rather than occupied, Jerusalem argues.In May, the EU foreign ministers released a statement mentioning “the applicability of the fourth Geneva Convention relative to the protection of civilians.” This passage seems to refer mostly to Israel’s obligation to safeguard Palestinians living under Israeli military control. On December 10, the EU issued a harshly worded rebuke of Israel’s plans to expand settlements in the West Bank but failed to mention the convention.

Burt, a Conservative, also called on the Israeli government to “urgently” reverse its decision to upgrade the Ariel University Center to a full-fledged university. “Ariel is beyond the Green Line in a settlement that is illegal according to international law. This decision will deepen the presence of the settlements in the Palestinian territories and will create another obstacle to peace,” he said.The minister further said that the United Kingdom appreciates the Palestinian leadership’s “measured response” to Israel’s recent announcements and recommended Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for publicly rejecting recent “inflammatory statements” by Hamas leaders.Having received nonmember state status at the United Nations in late November, the Palestinians are said to be considering turning to the International Criminal Court in The Hague to denounce Israel for alleged war crimes.However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior government ministers have repeatedly vowed to keep building despite all pressure.

Syria envoy calls for political change to end conflict

BEIRUT (Reuters) - The international envoy seeking a negotiated solution to Syria's 21-month-old conflict said on Thursday political change was needed to end the violence which has killed 44,000 people.
Speaking in Damascus at the end of a five-day trip during which he met President Bashar al-Assad, Lakhdar Brahimi called for a transitional government to rule until elections and said only substantial change would meet demands of ordinary Syrians.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov added to the envoy's call for a peaceful solution when he told a senior Syrian diplomat that only a "broad inter-Syria dialogue and political process" could end the crisis.Brahimi's push for a transitional government suggested he was trying to build on an international agreement in Geneva six months ago which said a provisional body - which might include members of Assad's government as well as the opposition - should lead the country into a new election.
But the mainly Sunni Muslim Syrian rebels have seized the military initiative since the Geneva meeting in June and the political opposition has ruled out any transitional government in which Assad, from Syria's Alawite minority, plays a role.Rebel fighters resumed attacks on Thursday against the military base of Wadi Deif, which lies next to Syria's main north-south highway linking Aleppo with Damascus.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based opposition group which monitors the violence, said rebels also clashed with Assad's forces inside the Minakh air base in Aleppo province after several days of fighting outside its perimeter, although the army still controlled the base itself.Around the capital, Assad has used artillery and air strikes for weeks to try to dislodge rebels from suburbs which ring the east and south of the city."Certainly it was clear in Geneva, and it's even clearer now that the change which is needed is not cosmetic or superficial," Brahimi told a news conference in Damascus before leaving Syria."I believe the Syrian people need, want and aspire to genuine change and everyone knows what this means," he said."A government must be created ... with all the powers of the state," Brahimi added. He said it should hold power for a transitional period until elections - either for a new president or a new parliament - are held."This transitional process must not lead to the ... collapse of state institutions. All Syrians, and those who support them, must cooperate to preserve those institutions and strengthen them," he said.Radwan Ziadeh of the opposition Syrian National Council dismissed Brahimi's proposal as "unrealistic and fanciful" and said a transitional government could not be built on the same "security and intelligence structure as the existing regime".
TOO SOON FOR COMPLETE PLAN
Russia's Lavrov met Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Makdad in Moscow on Thursday. Interfax news agency quoted Lavrov as saying the chances of forging a solution based on the Geneva agreement were decreasing, but it was necessary to keep seeking a peaceful solution because the alternative is "bloody chaos"."The longer it continues, the broader its scale and the worse (it will be) for everyone," it quoted Lavrov as saying.Syrian and Lebanese sources said Makdad had been sent to Moscow to discuss details of a peace plan proposed by Brahimi.Brahimi is due in Moscow on Saturday and said he also expected to have a third joint meeting with U.S. and Russian officials soon following two rounds of talks earlier this month. But he denied the existence of a U.S.-Russian plan to end the crisis and said it was too soon to present a "complete plan"."What is preferred is that we don't present such a plan until we feel that all sides have agreed to it. That way, implementing it is easy. If that doesn't happen, the other solution could be to go to the (United Nations) Security Council to issue a binding resolution for everyone," he said.A Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman also denied any joint initiative between Moscow and Washington.World powers remain divided over what has become an increasingly sectarian struggle, with Sunni Muslim states such as Turkey and the Gulf Arab countries supporting the rebels while Shi'ite Iran and Hezbollah have backed Assad, whose Alawite community has its roots in Shi'ite Islam.Syria's struggle "has taken a vicious form of sectarian confrontation", Brahimi said. "Syrian officials foremost, as well as the international community, must not let Syria slide down this very dangerous path which threatens the future of Syria."Deep differences between Western powers opposed to Assad - led by the United States - and Russia and China which have supported his government, have left the U.N. Security Council paralyzed and largely sidelined throughout the conflict.
The political stalemate has helped transform a once-peaceful uprising into a civil war in which rebels have grown in military strength and taken control of swathes of territory in the north, leaving Assad increasingly reliant on air power to curb them.Activists in the central province of Hama, where rebels launched an offensive last week to extend their control southwards towards the capital, reported on Thursday that rebels shot down a MiG fighter near the town of Morek.The Syrian Observatory said air force fighters launched three raids on rebel forces around Wadi Deif. The British-based group also reported fierce clashes in the area.The violence has been accompanied by an escalation in apparently sectarian attacks between the Sunni Muslim majority and minorities such as Assad's Alawite sect, which has largely supported the president.
Activists in Hama uploaded a video of what appeared to be Assad soldiers and shabbiha militia members stabbing the body of a dead man and setting it on fire. The man looked as if he had been beaten to death.
"This is a terrorist, a brother of a whore, one of those trying to destroy the country," one of the men shouted. Two men in camouflage uniforms and army helmets stood by watching. Samer al-Hamawi, an activist from Hama, said rebels in his area found the video on the phone of a soldier they captured this week.The video emerged a day after Islamist rebel units released footage showing the bodies of dozens of Assad's fighters along a highway near an Alawite town in Hama.(Additional reporting by Marwan Makdesi in Damascus and Steve Gutterman in Moscow; Editing by Michael Roddy)

Iran will open suspect military base if threats dropped: report

DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran would let U.N nuclear inspectors into a military base they suspect was used for atomic weapons-related work, if threats against the Islamic Republic are dropped, a government official was quoted as saying.The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) believes Iran conducted explosives tests with possible nuclear applications at Parchin, a sprawling military base southeast of Tehran, and has repeatedly asked to inspect it.Western diplomats say Iran has carried out extensive work at Parchin over the past year to cleanse it of any evidence of illicit activities but IAEA chief Yukiya Amano said earlier this month a visit would still be "useful"."If the trans-regional threats (against Iran) dissipate, then they will find it possible to visit Parchin," Deputy Foreign Minister Hassan Qashqavi was quoted by the Iranian Labour News Agency as saying on Wednesday. The comments were also published on Thursday by online magazine Iran Diplomacy.Qashqavi was most likely referring to Israel's threat of military strikes against Iran and the possibility of further sanctions by the West.Israel has said it will resort to military action if diplomacy fails to prevent Iran getting nuclear weapons. Tehran says its nuclear work is entirely peaceful.Earlier this month, IAEA officials visited Iran to try to negotiate access to Parchin to resolve outstanding issues related to "possible military dimensions" of Iran's nuclear program.Iran has repeatedly said that a wider agreement on the IAEA's inquiry must be reached before opening the site to inspectors.(Reporting By Marcus George; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)
