EZEKIEL 32:2-9 (GODS IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING)(PROTECTS ISRAEL)
2  Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
3  Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.
4  Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.
5  And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.
6  I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
7  And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8  All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
9  I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.

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

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

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

ISAIAH 6:9-12
9  And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10  Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
11  Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12  And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

ISAIAH 24:1
1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste,(NUKES USED) and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.(WORLD IMMIGRATION)

The Third and Final Wave of WW3 is when all Nations march to Jerusalem, but JESUS bodily returns to earth and destroys them,sets up his KINGDOM OF RULE FOR 1000 YEARS THEN FOREVER.

WORLD GOVERNMENT

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.

RECENT BROADCAST

Today’s Guest: Bahman Nassiri
Topic: Iranian filmmaker and 32nd Degree Freemason Bahman Nassiri gives his last interview to Trunews in which he vows to tell all he knows about the ancient Roshaniya Brotherhood secret society and its connection to the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, Western intelligence agencies, the planned attack on Iran, and the New World Order agenda for World War III.
www.bahmannassiri.com

Fraternal Order of Eagles International (F.O.E.) is a fraternal organization that was founded on February 6, 1898, in Seattle, Washington by a group of six theater owners including John Cort (the first president), brothers John W. and Tim J. Considine, Harry (H.L.) Leavitt (who later joined the Loyal Order of Moose), Mose Goldsmith and Arthur Williams.[1] Originally made up of those engaged in one way or another in the performing arts, the Eagles grew and claimed credit for establishing the Mother's Day holiday in the United States as well as the "impetus for Social Security". Their lodges are known as "aeries".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraternal_Order_of_Eagles


Iranian Filmmaker Alleges Secret Society is Behind Arab Spring Revolutions...Sinister Plan May Lead to World War III -Contact: Chase Anderson, Trunews, 772-569-8880, Chase@Trunews.com
 
VERO BEACH, Fla., May 16, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- An Iranian filmmaker told Trunews radio host Rick Wiles today that the current Arab Spring uprisings in the Middle East are the work of a secret society that used Western intelligence agencies to plan and instigate the 1979 Iranian Revolution to overthrow the Shah of Iran.Mr. Bahman Nassiri is the writer and producer of the independent film Golden Veil released in 2011. The movie's plot is set against a backdrop of greed, corruption, and political intrigue woven together in a web of international conspiracies, deception, and secret agendas -- all hidden behind a mysterious "golden veil."Mr. Nassiri is also a 32nd Degree Freemason. He was initiated into Freemasonry decades ago while still living in Iran. He said Freemasonry was imported to Iran over 150 years ago by the British. Mr. Nassiri said the British frequently set up secret networks of Freemasons in nations they seek to subjugate and colonize.Freemasonry, however, is not the secret society he alleges is masterminding a spate of violent revolutions and uprisings across the Middle East since late 2011. In the Golden Veil movie, Mr. Nassiri alludes to the hidden influence of the Roshaniya Brotherhood. Roshaniya was started in Afghanistan in the 16th century. The filmmaker said Roshaniya is linked to the Skull & Bones secret society at Yale University.
Mr. Wiles responded, "That explains why George W. Bush was in business with Osama bin Laden's brother in a Texas oil company."Mr. Nassiri said Osama bin Laden broke off from the main Roshaniya Brotherhood to form his own Islamic secret society known as al-Qaeda.When asked by Wiles if Roshaniya is the secret society behind the Arab uprisings, Mr. Nassiri said Roshaniya is controlled by an even more powerful secret society. The filmmaker said he had personal knowledge of the top secret group because a high level member in Iran was his deceased father's closest personal friend.When pressed by Wiles to identify the group, Mr. Nassiri reluctantly said the super-secret society is based in Washington D.C. and is known as "the Eagles." Wiles asked him if he was referring to the Fraternal of Eagles. Mr. Nassiri said, "No, it is another group that goes by the name Eagles."The Golden Veil producer said membership in the Eagles is limited to the most powerful men in the defense industries, oil companies, and major banks in the United States and Great Britain. Nassiri described the Eagles as "the most powerful secret society in the world."The filmmaker said that the 1979 Iranian Revolution was secretly instigated by Western intelligence agencies seeking to overthrow the Shah of Iran. Mr. Nassiri named the USA, Great Britain, and France as the three primary Western powers behind the 1979 uprising that brought the militant mullahs to power.He said the Eagles' master plan is to set the entire Middle East on fire through revolutions, social unrest, and wars. Mr. Nassiri told Trunews that Syria will be the last war "before the big war" which will target Iran. Mr. Nassiri said he fears the attack on Iran may erupt into World War III.Wiles asked Nassiri why the West wanted to dump the Shah of Iran. Mr. Nassiri said the 1979 Iranian Revolution was the first step in unveiling the secret society's New World Order. He said the secret society's master plan calls for turning the entire Middle East into a seething hotbed of hatred for the USA and Israel. He expects other Middle Eastern nations such as Saudi Arabia to collapse and come under control of militant Islamic groups affiliated with al-Qaeda.The Iranian-born independent filmmaker said he produced the Golden Veil movie and is speaking publicly about the agenda in hopes that enough exposure will stop the Eagles from completing their plans before it erupts into World War III. He said the ultimate end-game of the Eagles is the introduction of their New World Order to dominate seven billion humans. The entire 42 minute interview can be heard at Trunews.com.

IF THIS EAGLES IS A REAL ORGANIZATION.THIS IS ALL I FOUND FROM ANYTHING ABOUT A EAGLE GROUP ON THE NET.

Case: Fraternal Order of Eagles, Tenino Aerie v. Grand Aerie Fraternal Order of Eagles-Justices: Andy Fischer,  Ross Richendrfer, Jim Hanson -Decision: Concurring in favor of Grand Aerie Fraternal Order of Eagles

This court concludes that the Fraternal Order of Eagles is a distinctively private organization under a constitutional interpretation of the Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD). Private groups have a constitutional right to assemble and to choose their members. African-American groups in furtherance of objectives to solidify black unity have a right to select only African-American members. Feminist groups in furtherance of objectives to promote women power have a right to select only female members. Similarly, the Fraternal Order of Eagles has a right to select only male members to further its objective of brotherhood and we find that its gender-based membership requirements are within the organization’s proper legal limits.Initially, this court agrees with the Washington State Supreme Court’s determination that the principal question in this case is whether the WLAD “requires a ‘fraternal organization’ to be ‘distinctly private’ in order to qualify for exemption under the law.”  The portion of the WLAD in questions is: “PROVIDED, That nothing contained in this definition shall be construed to include or apply to any institute, bona fide club, or place of accommodation, which is by its nature distinctly private, including fraternal organizations.” While the plaintiff brings up some persuasive and troubling arguments about the grammatical problems in the WLAD; the fact that the WLAD separates fraternal organizations from other institutions lends weight to the interpretation that lawmakers meant to classify fraternal organizations, such as the Eagles, as being exempt from this law. On this, we agree with the appellant that because there is not a dispute over whether the Eagles are a fraternal organization or not, they ought to be properly classified as exempt from WLAD guidelines. The WLAD guidelines are comparable to the New Jersey anti-discrimination law’s exemption clause which reads: “Nothing herein contained shall be construed to include or apply to any institution, bona fide club, or place of accommodation, which is in its nature distinctly private.” The only major difference between this and the WLAD is the WLAD’s inclusion of “fraternal organizations.”

 The New Jersey law shows that even with proper wording, an anti-discrimination law would not touch the Fraternal Organization of Eagles.As such, this court disagrees with the Washington State Supreme Court’s mechanism for evaluating this case. Instead of evaluating the case solely on the basis of Washington State Law, the court ought to have looked to the Constitution of the United States. The first amendment of the Constitution states that the freedom of speech and the right to free association must be protected. The Constitution must be valued before state law because it is the one document that binds the whole nation instead of just individual documents that rule single states. The Constitution is in place to make law equal for everyone. Because of this, we believe that ruling for the Eagles on the grounds of their rights in the first amendment is the proper way to resolve this case.As we say this, we do agree with the Washington State Supreme Court that a case-by-case basis approach is best: “Whether an organization qualifies as a fraternal organization is a judicial question to be resolved on the facts of the case… Merely designating an organization as a fraternal organization by creative naming is insufficient to escape requirements of the WLAD which are otherwise applicable.” (Fraternal Order of Eagles, Tenino Aerie No. 564 v. Grand Aerie of Fraternal Order of Eagles, Supreme Court of Washington, p. 33) This court feels secure that it is not practicing “creative naming” in designating the Fraternal Order of Eagles as a distinctly private organization and also an organization that is protected from the WLAD.The court would also like to use part of the Roberts decision in order to make a clear standard for government regulation concerning clubs and private entities. Robert’s is pertinent in the sense that the case was focused on the nature of government intervention into questionably private organizations. It shows that: “There can be no clearer example of an intrusion into the internal structure of affairs of an association than a regulation that forces the group to accept members it does not desire.” (Roberts v. United States Jaycees, 468 U.S. 609; 104 S. Ct. 3244; 82 L. Ed. 2d 462; 1984 U.S. LEXIS 146; 52 U.S.L.W. 5076; p. 9). It is important that the government continually weigh possible interventions into an organization’s governing body and membership policies with the risk of the erosion of that group’s autonomy and organizational liberty. The Fraternal Order of Eagles has made it clear that they do not desire to accept women into their organization, thus government intrusion ought to be applied only in the case that the organization were not distinctively private.The Washington state law must be read in context of the fact that exclusion of women by the Grand Aerie Fraternity of Eagles is primarily a question of the organization’s right to expressive association guaranteed in the 1st Amendment.  The Eagle’s right to freely associate is demonstrated by three lines of argument: the importance they attach to brotherhood and secret rituals, the degree of selectivity of the organization and this court’s decisions in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale and Roberts v. U.S. Jaycees. Central to the idea of free association are the Fraternity of Eagle’s strong convictions for the ideals of brotherhood.  As stressed by the appellant in his brief and oral argument, “forcing the organization by judicial decree to admit women severely infringes upon the rights of the Eagles to maintain brotherhood” (Appellant’s Brief, p.1).  While it remains unclear to what degree the ideals of brotherhood would be compromised by the inclusion of women, brotherhood is a central tenet to the organization.  Secret rituals and initiation practices of the Eagles are designed to develop strong bonds and brotherhood.   

The court agrees that the introduction of women could interfere with such initiation practices and the goal of developing and promoting brotherhood.  Requiring the Eagles to include women in such secret rituals would compromise the mission of the organization and be a violation of their right to freely associate guaranteed in the 1st Amendment.Becoming a member of the Fraternity of Eagles is selective based on the criteria presented by the appellant.  The plaintiff also agreed, “the trial court accurately identified the Eagles’s recruitment practices as selective” (plaintiff brief, p.4).  The Eagle’s recruitment requirements include being nominated by two members in good standing, being 21 years of age, having good moral character, not being connected to the communist party in any way or wish to overthrow the government, and profess a belief in a Supreme Being.  If a prospective member meets these criteria, then they must be interviewed and voted on by a local committee to become an Aerie. 

 While the Eagles are a large organization with local chapters around the United States and are dedicated to increasing their membership, their fraternity is not open to anyone.  Since it appears clear that the Eagles are a selective organization, this would indicate that they are a private institution under the criteria of Roberts v. United States Jaycees 1984.In the Roberts v. United States Jaycees decision, a number of criteria including size, purpose, selectivity, public service and practices were used to determine if an organization is distinctly private.  Although the Eagles are not a small organization, they do appear to be selective, thereby making them a private institution.  The Eagles may offer public services and events, but this does not necessarily make them a public organization.  They provide some public services as many other fraternal organizations do, but the selectivity of its membership and secret rituals place this organization more in the private realm.  It is not the duty of the court to force private institutions to admit all people to their membership.  The Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD) must be interpreted in light of the first amendment’s guarantee of free association.    In the Boy Scouts of America v. Dale (2000), this court ruled that private organizations have a right to freely associate.  The Eagles are a private group and hence have freedom over the membership of their organization.  Forcing membership of women would compromise the organization’s goal to foster and strengthen brotherhood.  Some of the secret rituals of this organization are designed, apparently, for interaction between men to foster brotherhood and cannot be carried out in the presence of women.Although the Eagles admitted women between 1995 and 1998, requiring them to continue this practice would infringe on their selective membership criteria, hinder the abilities of the Eagles to engage in secretive rituals and the pursuit of brotherhood, and violate their 1st Amendment rights.  Each local Aerie has a corresponding auxiliary that admits only women.  These auxiliaries provide women with similar opportunities as men in becoming members of the Eagles.  Whether the foundations of a fraternal organization are brotherhood or sisterhood, these groups believe that such bonds may only be formed with members of the same sex.  This decision in no way undermines the importance of state laws against discrimination.  It merely demonstrates that fraternal organizations that do not qualify as public organizations are thus exempt from laws that infringe on an organization’s 1st Amendment right to peaceably assemble.  Public organizations however, fall under much greater scrutiny from state and federal statutes against discrimination.  For these reasons, we conclude that the Fraternity of Eagles should not be required to admit women.

Shas MK: We Need the Arab League Peace Plan

Veteran Shas MK Yitzchak Cohen said that he supported the latest plan Arab League plan to solve the Israel-Arab conflict

Yitzchak Cohen-Flash 90
Veteran Shas MK and former Deputy Minister Yitzchak Cohen said Sunday that he supported the latest plan by the Arab League to solve the Israel-Arab conflict. The plan would entail Israel giving up nearly all of Judea and Samaria and repatriating many descendants of Arabs who fled Israel in 1948.In an interview with the Knesset Channel, Cohen said that Israel could have solved the conflict a long time ago, in 1972, had it accepted the peace plan presented by then-Secretary of State William Rogers. That plan, too, would have seen Israel give up nearly all of Judea and Samaria. Cohen added that Israel's rejection of the plan was a direct cause of the Yom Kippur War the following year, in which Israel lost thousands of soldiers.“We now have a golden opportunity to solve the conflict, courtesy of the Arab League,” Cohen said. “This plan is different than previous plans, because it allows for exchange of territory, with the possibility that the settlements will remain in place.” The plan states that the League would agree, only with the consent of the Palestinian Authority, to "comparable" and "minor" land swaps. In a statement earlier this month, the Prime Minister's Office “welcomed the support given by the Arab league delegation and the U.S. secretary of state to the diplomatic process.”With that, Cohen said that his was a personal, not a party stance. “I also supported the IDF's withdrawal from Lebanon” in 1999, Cohen said, “and that was not a Shas position, but my own. I believe we must turn over every stone” to effectively implement the Arab League plan, which he sees as a way to finally end the conflict, Cohen said.Cohen denied that he had changed his position to be more in line with that of new Shas boss Aryeh Deri, emphasizing that his views were in line with the principles outlined by Shas spiritual leader and former Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. “Shas is a pragmatic party, and we desire to advance the peace process,” he added.

Security Chief: IDF Taking Off the Silk Gloves

The IDF is ending its ‘silk glove treatment’ of Arabs who attack Israeli towns with rocks and firebombs, security chief says.

Arab rioters (archive)-Flash 90
The IDF is increasingly determined to stop Palestinian Authority-resident Arabs’ attacks on Israeli communities, and is willing to use live fire if necessary, says Yehuda Dana, security chief for the Beit El region.Speaking to Arutz Sheva, Dana said there has been an escalation in Arab attacks on Israeli civilians in recent months. “Their brazenness has crossed the line – they are doing what they didn’t do for years, like reaching the fence of an Israeli community and throwing rocks into the community, causing injuries,” he related.Until now, Arab rioters were handled “with silk gloves,” he said, with soldiers restricting themselves to non-lethal means of riot dispersal such as tear gas and rubber bullets.“Unfortunately, the Palestinians realized that they were facing an opponent that could not defeat them,” he said.However, he said, things are changing. “There is a change in the decisiveness, in the determination to end this phenomenon… I hope the other side realizes that the ‘silk glove treatment’ is over.”Dana gave the new commander for the Judea and Samaria Division, Brigadier-General Tamir Yadai, much of the credit for the change. “We met with the new District Commander and the conversation was positive. I hope the commander’s spirit reaches every last soldier,” he said.“Yadai made it clear that rocks will not be allowed to cross the fence around communities, and that it is unthinkable that residents or property be damaged,” he explained. “He emphasized that he would take a firm approach in response to such incidents.”Residents of the Beit El region were pleased to see IDF troops taking a strong stance against rock attacks and firebombing, Dana said, but are waiting to see if the situation will last. “Ultimately the results will speak for themselves,” he concluded.

JOEL 2:3,30
3 A fire devoureth before them;(ATOMIC BOMB) and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

North Korea fires short-range missiles for two days in a row

By Jane Chung
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea fired a short-range missile from its east coast on Sunday, a day after launching three of these missiles, a South Korean news agency said, ignoring calls for restraint from Western powers.Launches by the North of short-range missiles are not uncommon but, after recent warnings from the communist state of impending nuclear war, such actions have raised concerns about the region's security.
"North Korea fired a short-range missile as it did yesterday into its east sea in the afternoon, " South Korea's news agency Yonhap reported, citing a military official.A South Korean defense ministry official confirmed the Yonhap report, but did not provide any details.U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he was concerned about North Korea's launch of short-range missiles, urging Pyonyang to refrain from further launches and return to stalled nuclear talks with world powers.Ban, who spoke to Russian state news agency RIA Novosti during a visit to Moscow, called Saturday's launch a "provocative action".Tension on the Korean peninsula has subsided in the past month, having run high for several weeks after the United Nations Security Council imposed tougher sanctions against Pyongyang following its third nuclear test in February.
The North had for weeks issued nearly daily warnings of impending nuclear war with the South and the United States.South Korea's Unification Ministry criticized the missile tests as deplorable and urged the North to lower tensions and hold talks over a suspended inter-Korean industrial park in the North's border city of Kaesong.South Korea pulled out all of its workers from the industrial zone early this month after North Korea withdrew its 53,000 workers as tensions mounted.(Additional reporting by Alissa de Carbonnel in MOSCOW; Editing by Sanjeev Miglani)

North Korea fires projectile into eastern waters

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea fired a projectile into waters off its eastern coast Sunday, a day after launching three short-range missiles in the same area, officials said.North Korea routinely test-launches short-range missiles. But the latest launches came during a period of tentative diplomacy aimed at easing recent tension, including near-daily threats by North Korea to attack South Korea and the U.S. earlier this year. North Korea protested annual joint military drills by Seoul and Washington and U.N. sanctions imposed over its February nuclear test.The fourth launch occurred Sunday afternoon, according to officials at Seoul's Defense Ministry and Joint Chiefs of Staff. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity citing department rules, refused to say whether it was a missile or artillery round.On Saturday, North Korea fired two short-range missiles in the morning and another in the afternoon. The U.S. responded by saying threats or provocations would only further deepen North Korea's international isolation, while South Korea called the launches a provocation and urged the North to take responsible actions.The North has a variety of missiles but Seoul and Washington don't believe the country has mastered the technology needed to manufacture nuclear warheads that are small and light enough to be placed on a missile capable of reaching the U.S.U.S. officials said the North has recently withdrawn two mid-range "Musudan" missiles believed to be capable of reaching Guam after moving them to its east coast during the recent tensions.
The Korean Peninsula officially remains in a state of war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. South Korea's Defense Ministry said Sunday it has deployed dozens of Israeli-made precision guided missiles on front-line islands near the disputed western sea boundary as part of an arms buildup begun after a North Korean artillery strike on one of the islands in 2010 killed four South Koreans.___Associated Press writer Sam Kim contributed to this report.

Syrian army pushes assault on rebel-held town

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Syrian troops backed by tanks and warplanes launched an assault Sunday on a strategic rebel-held town near the Lebanese border, pounding the area with airstrikes and artillery salvos that killed at least 30 people and forced residents to scramble for cover in basements and makeshift bunkers, activists said.The town of Qusair has been besieged for weeks by regime troops and pro-government gunmen backed by the Lebanese militant Hezbollah group. The siege is part of a withering offensives forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad have been pushing in recent weeks to regain control of the towns and villages along the Lebanese frontier.The region's strategic value is twofold: it links Damascus with the Mediterranean coastal enclave that is the heartland of President Bashar Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam; and rebels smuggle weapons and supplies from Lebanon across the porous frontier to opposition fighters in Syria.The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 30 people, including 16 rebel fighters and one woman, were killed in Qusair in morning fighting, but that the death toll was expected to rise as government troops continue to try to push into the town.A government official in the nearby provincial capital of Homs said that regime troops have encircled the town and that "the offensive to liberate Qusair has begun."The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media, said the army has built up its forces on three fronts around Qusair while leaving one clear for "safe passage for fleeing civilians and the armed terrorists who want to surrender."The official said government forces have advanced into the town, taking over the municipality building and other vital government institutions.But Hadi Abdullah, an activist in Qusair reached on Skype, denied the regime made any advances on the ground. He said the municipality was destroyed in fighting six months ago, and that there's no government building left to take over.He said heavy shelling began late Saturday and continued through Sunday, and that civilians have sought shelter in basements."It's the heaviest since the beginning of the revolution," he said, adding that at least 17 houses have been destroyed.The discrepancy in the accounts could not be immediately verified.Separately, an official at the Homs governor's office said two suicide bombings in the town of Deir Balbaa just outside of Homs killed at least three people and wounded 15 others. The official declined to be identified because he is not allowed to make public comments.Another pair of bombings struck near a factory on a different Homs highway, killing four people and wounding 13, the state news agency reported.The regime' offensive on Qusair comes as the United States and Russia push a joint effort to get Assad and his opponents to negotiate an end to the country's civil war. Previous attempts to solve the conflict peacefully have failed.The U.S.-Russian plan, similar to one set out last year in Geneva, calls for talks on a transition government and an open-ended cease-fire.More than 70,000 people have been killed and several million displaced since the uprising against Assad erupted in March 2011 and escalated into a civil war. The fighting has also spilled over into neighboring states, including Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon and Israel, all of which are anxious about the ripple effect of Syria's conflict on their own nations.On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned at a weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday that the Jewish state was prepared to act if there were more shipments to Hezbollah from Syria."We are following the developments and changes there closely and we are prepared for every scenario," he said.Israeli warplanes carried out two rounds of airstrikes on Damascus early this month on what officials have said were sophisticated missiles bound for Hezbollah.On Saturday, Assad said in a newspaper interview that he won't step down before elections and that the United States has no right to interfere in his country's politics.
Assad's comments to the Argentine newspaper Clarin were the first about his political future since Washington and Moscow agreed earlier this month to try to bring the regime and the opposition to an international conference for talks about a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The U.S. and Russia have backed opposite sides in the conflict, but appear to have found common ground in the diplomatic push.
The White House and the Kremlin envision holding the meeting next month, but no date has been set. Neither Assad nor the Syrian National Coalition, the main Western-backed opposition coalition group, has made a firm commitment to attend.In the interview, Assad seemed to play down the importance of such a conference, saying a decision on Syria's future is up to the Syrian people, not the U.S. He also said a decision on his political future must be made in elections, and not during such a conference.As the regime and opposition decides whether to even take part in the conference, the planning for the potential talks looked set to move forward.Jordan is to host Western and Arab foreign ministers, including U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, for a meeting Wednesday that brings together the Syrian opposition's foreign supporters to plan for the peace talks.In Egypt, the Arab League said its ministerial committee on Syria will meet Thursday to discuss ways to convene the international conference on Syria. The Syrian opposition said they will meet in Turkey that same day to discuss whether to take part in an international conference on the conflict. ___Associated Press writers Albert Aji in Damascus, Syria, Aron Heller in Jerusalem, Maamoun Youssef in Cairo, Egypt, and Yasmine Saker in Beirut contributed to this report.

Head of Pro-Israel Organization Targeted By IRS Speaks Out

Details are unfolding about the Internal Revenue Source's targeting of conservative and pro-Israel organizations. Earlier this week, TheBlaze reported that the pro-Israel educational group Z STREET was among those targeted.Z STREET filed a lawsuit in 2010, claiming the organization's attorney was told by an IRS agent that their tax exempt status application had to undergo additional scrutiny since their organization was "connected to Israel."The Z STREET attorney was also informed that groups supportive of Israel and that filed for tax exempt status were assigned to "a special unit in the D.C. office to determine whether the organization's activities contradict the Administration's public policies."Lori Lowenthal Marcus, president of the pro-Israel group, appeared on the Glenn Beck Program to discuss her experience with the IRS."They asked a lot of questions about the board members and their affiliations," Marcus said before adding that the IRS agents asked the questions repeatedly.According to Marcus, the IRS agent assigned to their case in 2010 told Z STREET's lawyer that they had to scrutinize their organization more carefully due to its ties with Israel.The Jewish Press reported that at least one other Jewish religious organization claims it also endured a bizarre string of questioning by the IRS, saying it was asked "whether [it] supports the existence of the land of Israel" and for the organization to "describe [its] religious belief system toward the land of Israel."
Z STREET's first hearing on the lawsuit is scheduled for July 2 in Washington, D.C..

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Friday that he would travel wherever is needed and will talk to whoever is needed to keep Israel safe and secure.Netanyahu, who met with visiting German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, said, "It is always a pleasure to host you here in Jerusalem. You are a friend of Israel, Chancellor Merkel is a friend of Israel, Germany is a friend of Israel.“Today the Middle East is undergoing a period of tremendous and unprecedented instability,” said Netanyahu. “We have not seen such an upheaval in this region for many decades. I follow closely, day and night, the rapidly changing situation around us. I follow closely the very real challenges that this rapidly changing situation poses for the security of Israel. I will travel to where ever needed; I will meet with whoever is needed and I'm doing whatever is needed to protect the security of the citizens of Israel, and I will continue to do so."Westerwelle replied, “It is really a great pleasure to be here once again, but we all know that these are very challenging times, for the whole region but especially of course for our friends in Israel. I want to underline that in these challenging times Germany stands by its Israel partners. We want to work together and we want to support you. This is what our friendship is about and I'm using the word friendship, which is from our understanding, more than a partnership. This is not only a strategic alliance; this is a friendship between societies, between peoples and between governments.”He added that “Germany fully supports the latest initiative by our U.S. partners for direct talks. We believe that the Middle East peace process and the work on a two-state solution should be revived now and we will do what we can to support the security and a peaceful and sustainable development for Israel and the whole region."(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

North Korea fires three short-range missiles

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea fired three short-range missiles from its east coast on Saturday, South Korea's Defense Ministry said, but the purpose of the launches was unknown.Launches by the North of short-term missiles are not uncommon, but the ministry would not speculate whether these latest launches were part of a test or training exercise."North Korea fired short-range guided missiles twice in the morning and once in the afternoon off its east coast," an official at the South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman's office said by telephone.The official said he would not speculate on whether the missiles were fired as part of a drill or training exercise."In case of any provocation, the ministry will keep monitoring the situation and remain on alert," he said.A Japanese government source, quoted by Kyodo news agency, noted the three launches, but said none of the missiles landed in Japan's territorial waters.Tension on the Korean peninsula has subsided in the past month after running high for several weeks following the imposition of tougher U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang following its third nuclear test in February.The North had for weeks issued nearly daily warnings of impending nuclear war with the South and the United States.North Korea conducts regular launches of its Scud short-range missiles, which can hit targets in South Korea.It conducted a successful launch of a long-range missile last December, saying it put a weather satellite into orbit. The United States and its allies denounced the launch as a test of technology that could one day deliver a nuclear warhead.During the weeks of high tension, South Korea reported that the North had moved missile launchers into place on its east coast for a possible launch of a medium-range Musudan missile. The Musudan has a range of 3,500 km, putting Japan in range and possibly the U.S. South Pacific island of Guam.

Jesuit superior, Nicolas, appointed head of religious orders

The “black pope” has been placed in charge of the International Union of Superiors General for the next three years

giacomo galeazzi vatican city Fr. Adolfo Nicolas (Superior General of the Society of Jesus since 2008) is the new President of the International Union of Superiors General. The UISG represents the superior generals of more than 200 male religious congregations.In 2006 and 2009, when the Vatican would not do anything its Salesian Secretary of State, Tarcisio Bertone was not okay with, his fellow Salesian Fr. Pascual Chávez Villanueva, Rector Major of the Society of St. John Bosco, served two mandates as head of the Union. Not long after the first Jesuit in history was elected Pope, the world leader of the Society of Jesus has now been appointed as head of the UISG.Up until now, Fr. Nicolas was Vice President of the Superiors General and replaces the Franciscan José Rodriguez Carballo (the organisation’s top man for just one year), who was appointed Secretary of the Vatican Congregation for the Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. The new Vice President will be elected during the General Assembly which has been scheduled for November. The Union of Superiors General is an institution of pontifical tight, founded by the Congregation for Religious.Its purpose is to promote the life and mission of individual institutes that work in service of the Church, so as to make their collaboration more efficient and contact with the Holy See and the hierarchy more fruitful.” All superiors general of religious institutes or societies of apostolic life of pontifical right are members of the UISG. Superiors general of institutes of diocesan right can join the Union as adjunct members. The UISG’s supreme body is the general assembly which is required to meet at least once a year. It is responsible for electing the UISG council, which acts as an executive body, comprising a president, vice-president and ten advisors. The superiors general, who are members of the UISG, hold an assembly twice a year to discuss problems and issues of common interest. The UISG also works through the various Commissions, some of them permanent, others established ad hoc, on an as-needed basis.Fr. Nicolas was nicknamed the “black pope” because of the colour of his cassock, because he has been elected to his position for life, just like the Pope and because as the Jesuit superior, he is the leader of the largest and most powerful religious order in the world. His long experience in Asia -a land that is proving fertile for evangelisation - and his ability to “govern” are qualities the Society of Jesus sought back in January 2008 when Nicolas was appointed as leader of the world’s 19.200 Jesuits. His training and pastoral experience were gained in Asia, especially Japan.The Spanish theologian is the second out of the order’s 29 successors to come from the Land of the Rising Sun, after the missionary Pedro Arrupe (one of the witnesses of the Hiroshima tragedy). Nicolas was born in Palencia, Spain, in 1936. He has a degree from the Pontifical Gregorian University and in 1971 he completed the Master of Sacred Theology at Sophia University in Tokyo, where he went onto become a professor of Systematic Theology. He was director of the Pastoral Institute in Manila from 1978 to 1984 and between 1991 and 1993 he was rector of theologate in Tokyo. He was Provincial of the Jesuit Province of Tokyo between 1993 and 1999.The, between 2004 and 2007, the new “black pope” was President of the Jesuit Conference of Provincials for Eastern Asia and Oceania. He is highly esteemed within the Jesuit order and the Vatican, partly because of the good job he did as Secretary of the last General Congregation of the Society of Jesus. During the meeting, Fr. Kolvenbach managed to ensure the Jesuits returned to more moderate positions.

Merkel and Francis talk about a 'strong' Europe

VATICAN CITY (AP) — German Chancellor Angela Merkel, mindful of the weight of Christian voters in September elections, has discussed with Pope Francis how Europe's economy should better serve people.
Merkel flew to Rome Saturday for a 45-minute session with the pope at the Vatican. Her Christian Democrat party depends heavily on support from Protestant and Catholic voters, and the chat and photo opportunity could be a campaign boost.On Thursday, Francis blasted what he called a "cult of money" tyrannizing the poor. Merkel said the two discussed regulation of financial markets, adding that the economy hasn't always served people like it should.She said Francis stressed the need for a strong and just Europe. The Vatican said the two exchanged views on how Europe can be a community of values, including religious freedom.

Huge Rock Crashes Into Moon, Sparks Giant Explosion

The moon has a new hole on its surface thanks to a boulder that slammed into it in March, creating the biggest explosion scientists have seen on the moon since they started monitoring it.The meteorite crashed on March 17, slamming into the lunar surface at a mind-boggling 56,000 mph (90,000 kph) and creating a new crater 65 feet wide (20 meters). The crash sparked a bright flash of light that would have been visible to anyone looking at the moon at the time with the naked eye, NASA scientists say."On March 17, 2013, an object about the size of a small boulder hit the lunar surface in Mare Imbrium," Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office said in a statement. "It exploded in a flash nearly 10 times as bright as anything we've ever seen before." [The Greatest Lunar Crashes Ever] NASA astronomers have been monitoring the moon for lunar meteor impacts for the past eight years, and haven't seen anything this powerful before.Scientists didn't see the impact occur in real time. It was only when Ron Suggs, an analyst at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., reviewed a video of the bright moon crash recorded by one of the moon monitoring program's 14-inch telescopes that the event was discovered.
"It jumped right out at me, it was so bright," Suggs said.Scientists deduced the rock had been roughly 1-foot-wide (between 0.3 to 0.4 meters) and weighted about 88 lbs (40 kg).The explosion it created was as powerful as 5 tons of TNT, NASA scientists said.When researchers looked back at their records from March, they found that the moon meteor might not have been an isolated event."On the night of March 17, NASA and University of Western Ontario all-sky cameras picked up an unusual number of deep-penetrating meteors right here on Earth," Cooke said. "These fireballs were traveling along nearly identical orbits between Earth and the asteroid belt."Though Earth's atmosphere protected our planet's surface from being hit by these meteors, the moon has no such luck. Its lack of an atmosphere exposes it to all incoming space rocks, and the NASA monitoring program has spotted more than 300 meteor strikes that reached its surface since 2005.Part of the motivation for the program is NASA's eventual intent to send astronauts back to the moon. When they arrive, they'll need to know how often meteors impact the surface, and whether certain parts of the year, coinciding with the moon's passage through crowded bits of the solar system, pose special dangers."We'll be keeping an eye out for signs of a repeat performance next year when the Earth-Moon system passes through the same region of space," Cooke said. "Meanwhile, our analysis of the March 17th event continues."The scientists also hope to use NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to photograph the impact site to learn more about how the crash occurred.

2 fires north of LA persist after long fire week


SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (AP) — A pair of tamed but persistent wildfires still burned in the hills and mountains around Interstate 5 after a wild week of burning brush in the area north of Los Angeles.
A new fire that broke out Friday, the third major blaze in the area in a week, quickly surged to more than 500 acres, briefly threatened an elementary school and led to the temporary evacuation of about 20 homes.
The fire burned very close to I-5 during some of the busiest hours of the week for the heavily traveled route in and out of Los Angeles, but some 350 firefighters were able to get the edge on the blaze as quickly as it arose.The fire was 60 percent contained by nightfall and residents who evacuated were told they could safely return, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said.Crews were helped by relatively mild temperatures that were expected to remain into the weekend, but challenged by unpredictable winds and very difficult terrain.With air and ground attacks, firefighters were able to douse the flames closest to Northlake Hills Elementary School and stop a looming threat.The school had a large defensible space around it, so it was easy to protect, Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Scott Miller said.The campus was put on lockdown and buses were put on standby for a time in case hundreds of kindergarten through fifth-grade students needed to be evacuated.After the flames were redirected, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Brian Allen said the students were released to their parents without incident.The fire was moving toward Castaic Lake.
The earlier fire that broke out Wednesday near Frazier Park was 55 percent contained Friday after consuming some 4,300 acres.That blaze was not threatening any homes or buildings but fire officials said containing it would be a long, difficult task because it was burning in such rugged and hard-to-reach terrain.

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

EZEKIEL 39:1-8,11-18
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)
2 And I will turn thee back,(RUSSIA-ARAB MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS) and leave but the sixth part of thee,(5/6TH OR 300 MILLION DEAD RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS I BELIEVE) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA) and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.(OF ISRAEL)
13 Yea, all the people of the land (OF ISRAEL) shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I (GOD-JESUS) shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,(NUCLEAR BOMB EXPERTS) passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,(WON'T TOUCH IT) till the buriers have buried it (PROPERLY) in the valley of Hamongog.(RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS NEW BURIEL SITE)
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.(OF THE ISRAEL-GOD HATERS)
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl,(500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS THREW ISRAEL EVERY SPRING,FALL) and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.(OF THE RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ARMIES)
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye (MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL) shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.(RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS)
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I (GOD-JESUS) will set my glory among the heathen,(WORLD NATIONS) and all the heathen (WORLD NATIONS) shall see my judgment that I have executed,(AGAINST ISRAELS ENEMIES) and my (GODS) hand that I have laid upon them.(ISRAELS HATER ENEMIES)

4  I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

Russia boosts its naval presence in Syria, sends regime new missiles

Many see Russia's anti-ship missile sales and increased naval deployment to Syria as intended to deter Western powers from military intervention in the Syrian civil war.

• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
Russia has deployed upwards of a dozen ships to its naval base in Syria over the past three months, and recently sent advanced anti-ship missiles to the embattled Syrian government, highlighting the depth of Moscow’s commitment to the Assad regime and the challenges in finding an internationally palatable solution to the crisis.Some believe Russia’s increased presence is meant to deter Western powers from getting involved militarily with the Syrian conflict, which has killed more than 70,000 people and displaced millions over the past three years. US officials, however, told The Wall Street Journal they do not fear a direct conflict with Russia."It is a show of force. It's muscle flexing," a senior U.S. defense official said of the Russian deployments. "It is about demonstrating their commitment to their interests."Russia supports Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, whereas the US recently stated that a political solution to the crisis would have to exclude the president from the transitional government.The US and Russia last week announced a peace conference on Syria, but a date has not been set. The idea of the conference was met with high hopes from the international community, which has been stymied over how to help draw the Syrian civil war to a close. Today, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the joint conference must be held as soon as possible so that the international community does “not lose momentum.”But Russia’s recent actions around Syria could potentially complicate that goal. Moscow insisted yesterday on the attendance of Iran at any peace conference, another controversial player in the Syrian conflict and on the international stage, reports Reuters.
Iran has long been believed to be moving weapons to Hezbollah via Syria. Earlier this month, Israel conducted an airstrike in Syria, stating that “if there is activity, it is only against Hezbollah, not against the Syrian regime.”Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview posted on a government website yesterday, "Among some of our Western colleagues, there is a desire to narrow the circle of external participants and begin the process from a very small group of countries in a framework which, in essence, would predetermine the negotiating teams, agenda, and maybe even the outcome of talks."Russia's recent delivery of sophisticated anti-ship cruise missiles to Syria also has raised concerns, reports The New York Times. The weapons enable “the regime to deter foreign forces looking to supply the opposition from the sea, or from undertaking a more active role if a no-fly zone or shipping embargo were to be declared at some point,” Nick Brown, editor in chief of IHS Jane’s International Defense Review, told the Times. “It’s a real ship killer.”The Wall Street Journal noted that the missiles appear to contradict earlier Russian reassurances about the kinds of weapons it would supply to Assad's forces.Yakhont missiles are an offensive system. Moscow has told Western diplomats it will supply only defensive weaponry to the Syrian regime. But U.S. and Israeli officials have long been worried about Syria's existing stocks of the weapon. If transferred to Hezbollah or other militant groups, they could provide a serious threat to both Israeli and U.S. warships in the region.Russian Navy and foreign ministry officials didn't respond to requests for comment about the deployments of the warships.French President François Hollande said yesterday that Russia’s ongoing arms supply to the Assad regime was problematic in finding a diplomatic resolution to the civil war, and that rebels needed to be able to keep up military pressure on the Syrian Army."While the Russians are accepting the idea of this conference they continue to give weapons to Bashar al-Assad's regime, so we need to have an attitude that balances that out," Mr. Hollande said.“This weapons transfer is obviously disappointing and will set back efforts to promote the political transition that is in the best interests of the Syrian people and the region,” Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the senior Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement last night. “There is now greater urgency for the U.S. to step up assistance to the moderate opposition forces who can lead Syria after Assad.”Which players will have a role in Syria’s political transition is believed, in part, to be at the crux of the international standstill on Syria. A UN resolution yesterday drew ire from the likes of Russia because it explicitly backed the Syrian National Commission, an opposition group, for future talks on the political transition, reports Agence France-Presse.
“An angry Russia said this would encourage opposition ‘armed actions’ against the Assad government,” AFP reports.

Ex-MI Head: Assad Will be 'Finished' if He Starts a War

If Syrian President starts a war with Israel, he will be “finished”, says former Military Intelligence head Amos Yadlin.

If Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad will start a war with Israel, he will be “finished”, former Military Intelligence head, Maj. Gen. (res.) Amos Yadlin, said on Friday."There is pressure on Assad to respond [to recent Israeli airstrikes in Syria], but he will be finished if he starts a war," Yadlin, who now heads the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), told Channel 10 News.“We must not think that what worked several times will always work,” he added, referring to alleged Israeli airstrikes in Damascus targeting weapons meant for Hizbullah. “Pressure is building up on the other side to respond. We should think carefully if we are ready for an escalation which can develop.”He noted, however, "There is something that I think Assad will avoid at all costs and that is to be dragged into a war with Israel. Assad does not have any interest in Israeli intervention or some external intervention in the terrible war we are seeing there. He is winning because, unlike Mubarak in Egypt, his army is loyal and unlike Qaddafi in Libya there is no foreign intervention. A war with Israel opens the door to foreign intervention in Syria and then he will be finished, so he will be wary of war. But he still has a number of measured and careful steps he might take.”Regarding Russia’s sale of S-300 advanced missile systems to Syria, which Russia has indicated it will go ahead with despite Israeli pressure to drop the deal, Yadlin said, "This is one of the most advanced defense systems, with a long range of about 200 km. It is a mobile system and therefore has a greater chance of survival. It has very advanced systems that can deal with electronic warfare. It has capabilities against low-altitude aircraft."Asked whether the system can hit aircraft at the Ben Gurion Airport, Yadlin replied, “Hitting a plane at the airport will be complicated, but an aircraft at ranges of tens of kilometers above Syria will definitely be in danger.”At the same time, he said, "I would suggest that one understand that there is no air defense system that cannot be dealt with. The Israeli Air Force has shown that despite the enemy having very advanced systems, we also have the tools and know how to deal with it.”(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.
