HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

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

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.(IN 1 HR THE STOCK MARKETS WORLDWIDE WILL CRASH)
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

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

LUKE 2:1-3
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2  (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3  And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

REVELATION 13:16-18
16 And he(THE FALSE POPE WHO DEFECTED FROM THE CHRISTIAN FAITH) causeth all,(IN THE WORLD ) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(MICROCHIP IMPLANT)

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:(WORLD LEADER) for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM (6006006)OR(60020202006)(SOME KIND OF NUMBER IMPLANTED IN THE MICROCHIP THAT TELLS THE WORLD DICTATOR AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER THAT YOU GIVE YOUR TOTAL ALLIGIENCE TO HIM AND NOT JESUS)(ITS AN ETERNAL DECISION YOU MAKE)(YOU CHOOSE YOUR OWN DESTINY)(YOU TAKE THE DICTATORS NAME OR NUMBER UNDER YOUR SKIN,YOUR DOOMED TO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND TORMENTS FOREVER,NEVER ENDING MEANT ONLY FOR SATAN AND HIS ANGELS,NOT HUMAN BEINGS).OR YOU REFUSE THE MICROCHIP IMPLANT AND GO ON THE SIDE OF KING JESUS AND RULE FOREVER WITH HIM ON EARTH.YOU CHOOSE,ITS YOUR DECISION.

REVELATION 6:5-6
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.(A DAYS WAGES FOR A LOAF OF BREAD)

Tsipras to back Greek bailout with Tsakalotos as finance minister-Reuters By Renee Maltezou and Michele Kambas-sept 22,15-yahoonews

ATHENS (Reuters) - Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will reappoint Euclid Tsakalotos as finance minister, a senior source in his leftist Syriza party said on Tuesday, to offer continuity in bailout talks with international lenders.Tsakalotos, a low-key Oxford-trained Marxist economist, helped steer bailout discussions with Greece's creditors that produced an 86 billion euro loan accord with Athens in August. George Chouliarakis, who was finance minister in the caretaker government during the election campaign and also a respected member of the bailout negotiation team, was 'very likely' to be appointed deputy finance minister, the source said.Generally considered safe pairs of hands, the appointments if confirmed will come ahead of a review by lenders starting next month on progress in meeting bailout targets, recapitalizing the country's banks and holding discussions that Greece wants on debt relief.Tsakalotos is a stark contrast to his combative predecessor Yanis Varoufakis, who quit Tsipras's government in disagreement over the bailout in July. He frequently riled lenders with outspoken and occasionally undiplomatic remarks, including one where he said he wore 'creditors' loathing with pride'."The markets will see this positively," said Takis Zamanis, chief trader at Beta Securities in Athens. "It appeared the chemistry was right between Tsakalotos and lenders." Earlier on Tuesday, state media reported Tsakalotos was having second thoughts about accepting the job.It gave no reason, but Tsakalotos, Dutch-born and British-educated, is a member of the so called '53+' faction in Syriza, some of whose members recently expressed concerns the party was moving away from core leftist values to hold on to power.The government's two main tasks will be to ensure that the bailout given by the euro zone in exchange for deep economic reforms does not go off track, and to handle Greece's huge refugee problem.Of the record 430,000 refugees and migrants who have made the journey across the Mediterranean to Europe so far this year, 309,000 have arrived via Greece, according to the International Organization for Migration.Many of Greece's partners, particularly in eastern Europe, want Athens to stop allowing the refugees to pass north on a trek to Germany and other wealthy northern countries.Caretaker migration minister Yiannis Mouzalas was likely to be reappointed, Syriza officials said. Mouzalas is an active member of the Doctors of the World charity, and has taken part in relief missions to trouble spots like Kobane in Syria.-BALANCING THE BOOKS-But it is the implementation of the bailout, which was agreed after months of bitter negotiations in which Tsipras railed against austerity being imposed on Greece, that will be the government's overwhelming task.Factions like '53+' notwithstanding, Tsipras' re-election on Sunday made his party the dominant force in Greece. His harshest hard-left rebel critics failed to make it into parliament."Alexis Tsipras now has the chance to correct the mistakes of his (first) term," center-left newspaper Ta Nea said in an editorial."His first cabinet was marked by Syriza's big appointments, such as Yanis Varoufakis, which had particularly bad results. It was also marked by a need to preserve inner party balances which brought the hard-left ... lawmakers to important ministerial posts."Another reappointment would be Panos Skourletis to the energy ministry, Syriza sources said. He has been criticized for his decision to revoke the permit for a disputed Canadian-run gold mine project in northern Greece in August.Markets will look at how Skourletis will handle the issue after a Greek court ruled in favor of the investment. He is also expected to seek an alternative plan to the privatization of the country's power grid operator ADMIE.(Written by Jeremy Gaunt; Editing by Tom Heneghan)

Barclays: These Advanced Economies Need More Currency Depreciation to Offset the Commodities Crash-Competitiveness is just a crashing currency away.Luke Kawa-September 21, 2015 — 4:22 PM EDT

The hangover from the end of the commodity supercycle has wreaked havoc on a number of advanced economies.Barclays’s foreign exchange research team found that Australia, Canada, Norway, and New Zealand have been victims of a “Dutch Disease pandemic during the recent commodity boom.”What’s Dutch Disease, you ask? Dutch Disease refers to the process by which an increase in commodity prices exerts upward pressure on the currency of a nation that exports that natural resource, and causes a decline in the country’s manufacturing sector, which loses competitiveness as the exchange rate rises.The extent to which these developments are a negative is a point of contention among economists.On the surface, during commodity price booms, the movement of labor away from manufacturing and toward the business of extracting natural resources is typically a move to a higher-productivity and higher-wage industry, and the movement of capital is to a place where it generates better returns.It is the relative atrophy—or hangover, so to speak—of the manufacturing sector as commodity prices wane, however, that prompts some economists to bemoan the reallocation of labor and capital resources that occurs when natural resource prices rise. Countries find it’s much more difficult for labor and capital to move from resources to other parts of the economy than it was for them to move toward resources in the first place—and that a significant amount of exchange rate depreciation is needed before non-commodity segments of the economy are competitive once again. It’s like trying to build up a muscle that has long been dormant.Certainly, these four nations have experienced substantial declines in the value of their respective currencies vs. the U.S. dollar over the past year:“In an environment of falling export prices and slowing demand for commodities, the severity of an economy’s Dutch Disease likely will determine the extent of currency depreciation needed to balance the economy,” wrote the Barclays team. “In extreme cases, where new investment is required to expand the non-commodity export sector, both international and domestic investors likely will want to see a significantly lower exchange rate to offset the fixed costs of committing new capital.”The Barclays analysts attempt to find out which nations afflicted by Dutch Disease will shake it off and regain strength in non-commodity segments the fastest.But first, Barclays has to prove that these economies actually suffered from “Netherlands Nausea,” as Bank of Montreal Chief Economist Doug Porter once quipped.It’s not enough for manufacturing to have declined, as this development was commonplace throughout advanced economies. Statistical analyses performed by Barclays indicate that not only did the manufacturing sectors in Australia, Canada, Norway, and New Zealand fare worse than those of their developed peers during this period, but there are also causal links among the rise in commodity prices, exchange rate appreciation, and poor performance of manufacturing from 2000 to 2012.According to Barclays’s team, Canada’s manufacturing sector is the most adversely affected by the appreciation of the currency out to five years, followed by New Zealand, Australia, and a relatively unscathed Norway:Barclays-The analysts posit that “Norway’s Government Pension Fund likely insulated the country from Dutch Disease,” mitigating the effect of rises in the price of crude by using revenue generated by oil to purchase foreign assets.But although Canada’s manufacturing sector is the one that appears to take the hardest hit during periods when the loonie is overvalued, it doesn’t require much more exchange rate depreciation to boost the manufacturing sector, thanks to other mitigating factors.“ Norway’s positive international asset position reduces the need for Norwegian krone depreciation, while a low debt burden and relatively flexible labor markets benefit the Canadian dollar,” the analysts wrote. “Conversely, the New Zealand kiwi and Australian dollar are most vulnerable, suffering from very large net debt servicing burdens that more than offset labor market flexibility.”As such, Barclays recommends shorting the New Zealand kiwi and Aussie dollar relative to the U.S. greenback, or, for the more risk-averse, going long the Canadian dollar vs. its Antipodean peers.

VW Sets Aside $7.3 Billion to Pay for Emissions Crisis-Chris Reiter-Updated on September 22, 2015 — 7:20 AM EDT-bloomberg

Volkswagen AG said irregularities on diesel-emission readings extend to 11 million vehicles around the world, forcing the German carmaker to set aside 6.5 billion euros ($7.3 billion) in an initial tally of the potential costs.Volkswagen extended its slide after the announcement, falling as much as 30.85 euros and bringing the drop in two days to 37 percent. That has wiped out 24 billion euros in market value, as the probe into rigged air-polution widens. Regulators from Germany, France, South Korea and Italy have vowed to scrutinize the German automaker’s vehicles. To address the growing crisis, the executive committee of the carmaker’s supervisory board will meet Wednesday, said people familiar with the matter."It’s not just a U.S. matter for VW -- you have regulators all over the globe looking into it with potentially numerous fines to come," said Vincenzo Longo, a strategist for IG Group in Milan. "We don’t see any stop to this bloodbath unless there is a change at the head of VW and full cooperation with authorities. Some heads need to roll to get investors buying back VW."Chief Executive Officer Martin Winterkorn has been at the center of the scrutiny since the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency revealed on Friday that VW cheated on air- pollution tests. While the 68-year-old CEO said on Sunday that he was “deeply sorry” and promised a thorough investigation, he didn’t specifically comment on his role. He’ll need to explain to the supervisory board, which was set to vote this week on his contract extension, how deep the malfeasance is spread throughout the carmaker.-Shares Tumble-Volkswagen shares tumbled as much as 23 percent to 101.35 euros on Tuesday and were down 20 percent as of 1:18 p.m. in Frankfurt. That followed a 19 percent dive on Monday.“Volkswagen is working at full speed to clarify irregularities concerning a particular software used in diesel engines,” the Wolfsburg-based company said in a statement. The manufacturer said the money that’s being set aside could increase as investigations continue, adding that earnings forecasts for 2015 will be adjusted to take into account the costs of the scandal.The so-called defeat device was installed in a certain type of diesel engine, which powers models including the VW Passat sedan and the Audi A3 compact. For the majority of the 11 million vehicles involved, the software has no effect, VW said. Regulators will be looking to verify that after VW dragged its feet on the U.S. investigation for nearly a year. The EPA probe alone exposes the company to fines of as much as $18 billion. The U.S. Justice Department has begun its own probe into the matter, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the inquiry.“Our company was dishonest with the EPA, and the California Air Resources Board and with all of you,” Michael Horn, the head of the VW brand in the U.S., said Monday in Brooklyn, New York, where he was revealing a redesigned version of the Passat. “We have totally screwed up. We must fix the cars to prevent this from ever happening again and we have to make this right. This kind of behavior is totally inconsistent with our qualities.”

Stocks Dragged Down by Commodities, Carmakers as Treasuries Jump-Nick Gentle Stephen Kirkland-Updated on September 22, 2015 — 6:59 AM EDT-bloomberg

European stocks tumbled, led by miners and carmakers, and U.S. equity-index futures declined as sliding commodity prices sparked a selloff in higher-yielding assets. The dimming outlook for inflation and growth boosted government bonds and the yen.Glencore Plc fell more than 8 percent, leading European mining stocks toward the lowest close since 2009, and Volkswagen AG lost 19 percent as it set aside 6.5 billion euros ($7.3 billion) to cover the costs of addressing irregularities in diesel engines. Borrowing costs in euros for junk-rated companies surpassed 5 percent for the first time in about two years on Monday. The longest-maturity Treasuries led gains and the yen strengthened against all of its 16 major peers.From coal to copper, raw materials are under pressure on concern the global economy is slowing. The Citigroup Economic Surprise Index, which measures whether G-10 nations’ economic data are above or below analyst estimates, has dropped to a three-month low after turning negative for the first time since July last week. The Federal Reserve cited downward pressure on inflation and slowing growth in China as reasons for standing pat on interest rates last week."There is a rotation back to cash and bonds today as doubts on the outlook for global growth start to gather steam in the mind of investors," said Daniel Weston, chief investment officer at Aimed Capital in Munich. "We have seen growth expectations weakening for some time, and now they seem too strong for the general markets to ignore."Stocks-The Stoxx Europe 600 Index dropped 2.2 percent at 6:55 a.m. in New York, as more than 35 shares fell for every one that gained. Trading volumes were 27 percent higher than the 30-day average.Volkswagen tumbled after slumping 19 percent on Monday. The manufacturer said it will adjust its earnings forecasts for 2015 accordingly, as the diesel emissions probe widened. Germany, France, South Korea and Italy were among countries on Tuesday that said they would look further into revelations that VW rigged diesel tests in the U.S.Standard & Poor’s 500 Index E-mini futures expiring in December slid 1.5 percent. Several technical charts are sounding warning signals that the worst of equities turmoil may not be over. A downward sloping neckline in a head-and-shoulders pattern have formed in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The index and the Dow Jones Transportation Average also breached the low from last October, flashing a so-called Dow Theory sell signal.-Commodities-Industrial metals fell amid renewed concern over slowing economic expansion in China as the Asian Development Bank reduced its growth forecasts for the country, the biggest consumer.Copper fell 2.9 percent and zinc retreated 1.5 percent to the lowest since June 2010. Nickel dropped 1 percent as China’s imports of the refined metal slumped to the smallest in four months.The Bloomberg Commodity Index slipped 0.8 percent. West Texas Intermediate crude dropped 2.3 percent to $45.63 a barrel after rallying 4.5 percent on Monday. Brent slid 1.3 percent to $48.31.European coal for 2016 dropped below $50 a metric ton for the first time amid slumping demand from China. Prices have declined 25 percent so far in 2015, heading for a fifth straight year of drops in the benchmark year-ahead contract, according to broker data compiled by Bloomberg.Corn slipped 0.3 percent with soybeans down 0.4 percent. Wheat futures due in December -- which surged 2.1 percent last session on prospects dry weather over the next two weeks will hamper early crop growth in Russia and Ukraine -- fell 0.3 percent.Bonds-Markets are also whipsawing as investors digest conflicting signals from the Fed, with a fourth official talking up prospects for higher rates in 2015 after the rate decision on Thursday. Investors now put the probability of a rate rise in 2015 at less than 50 percent, and a lecture by Fed Chair Janet Yellen later this week may offer more clues as to when and if borrowing costs will increase this year.“The Fed is clearly mindful of global disinflation pressures evident from lower commodity prices,” said Nick Stamenkovic, a fixed-income strategist at RIA Capital Markets Ltd. in Edinburgh. “Waning risk appetite is also providing a boost for Treasuries today.”Government bonds rallied as the drop in commodities cooled the outlook for inflation, preserving the value of payments on fixed-income securities.Treasury 30-year bonds climbed for the third time in four days, pushing the yield four basis points lower to 2.98 percent.In the euro area, bonds received an additional boost after ECB Executive Board member Peter Praet said policy makers would “forcefully react” to defend their inflation objective. Germany’s 10-year yield dropped six basis points to 0.62 percent and the five-year note yield fell below zero for the first time since August. The Netherlands sold three-year notes at a record-low yield of minus 0.156 percent.The average yield on non-investment grade debt in euros rose seven basis points on Monday to 5.06 percent, the highest since September 2013, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Euro High Yield Index.BHP Billiton Ltd., the world’s biggest mining company, announced plans to market hybrid securities, partly to refinance existing near-term debt.-Currencies-The yen climbed on increased demand for haven assets, adding 0.6 percent to 119.82 per dollar. It’s the best-performing major currency in the past month, with the biggest gains coming versus those of commodity-producing nations including South Africa’s rand, New Zealand’s dollar and Brazil’s real.The euro slipped 0.7 percent to 133.80 yen and dropped 0.2 percent to $1.1162.

Gulf Arabs oppose Russia role in Syria, still bent on Assad's ouster-Reuters By William Maclean-sept 22,15-yahoonews

DUBAI (Reuters) - Russia's military intervention in support of President Bashar al-Assad has dismayed Gulf Arab enemies of the Syrian leader who say it will prolong the war and keep Syria firmly in the orbit of their arch regional rival Iran.Russia says it is providing arms to the Syrian leader, a longtime ally, and has sent servicemen to advise on their use in the fight against Islamic State (IS) and other jihadist groups. Moscow has also staged naval exercises off Syria.Washington, which opposes both IS and Assad, says Moscow has also sent fighter jets, tanks and other heavy equipment to Syria. On Monday U.S. officials said Russia had started flying drone aircraft on surveillance missions in Syria. Moscow has not confirmed those reports.Saudi Arabia and the other Sunni Muslim Gulf states have this month reaffirmed their opposition to Assad, whom they see as a stooge of Shi'ite Iran, but have not said publicly how they intend to deal with the arrival of the Russian forces."We don't have full details on the extent of the (Russian) involvement and role (in Syria). But such issues on the ground complicate the matter and make it more difficult to find a solution," an official source in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir described the Russian military moves as an "escalation" and reiterated at a recent meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) that Syria can have no future while Assad remains in power.In a statement the GCC foreign ministers urged a political solution to the Syrian crisis "without any foreign intervention" - a clear swipe at Russia and Iran.The GCC comprises the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar.It remains unclear whether Gulf Arab states would want the Syrian rebels they fund to engage Russian forces in battle - a prospect that would further upset the regional balance of power.By contrast, U.S. and Russian officials have discussed ways to prevent their forces accidentally coming to blows in Syria, where Washington is conducting air strikes against IS targets.Publicly at least, the Gulf Arabs are sticking to their line that Assad cannot survive despite Russia's military support.MILITARY SOLUTION?-While Riyadh prefers a political solution, its foreign minister al-Jubeir said, "the military choice is still available, as the Syrian opposition is still fighting the regime with more efficiency with the passing of time".The Syrian conflict began in 2011 with protests against four decades of Assad family rule. In the ensuing civil war a quarter of a million people have been killed and 11 million - half the total population - driven from their homes. Tens of thousands of Syrian refugees have fled to Europe in the past month alone.Russia says the U.S.-led air strikes against IS positions in Syria are unlikely to be successful and it has called for an international dialogue with Assad."In Russia's estimation, Assad's days are not numbered," said Ebtisam Al Ketbi, head of Emirates Policy Center in the UAE. "It wants to obstruct any Arab effort to bring Assad down."Syria is of vital strategic importance for Moscow. Its naval base at Tartous is its sole installation in the Mediterranean and underpins its regional influence. The Assad family has also historically been one of Russia's best clients for arms sales.For many Gulf Arabs, Russia's entry into Syria's war brings echoes of older strains surrounding the Saudi-backed resistance to Soviet occupation troops in Afghanistan in the 1980s.Some find it ironic that Russia, once a fierce critic of outside intervention in Syria, is now doing just that."Has Russia jumped feet first into the meat-grinder that is Syria?" tweeted Mohammed al-Rashed, a Saudi commentator."Did it not learn its lesson from Afghanistan, which ripped apart the Soviet Union? Or Chechnya, which crushed Russian arrogance? Did Putin learn a thing?"LACK OF U.S. ENGAGEMENT- Some Gulf Arab officials say the Russian intervention was made possible only by what they see as a lack of U.S. engagement on Syria.There is also grudging recognition of Putin's consistent loyalty to his ally, a quality Gulf Arabs say their U.S. friend lacks.Sami Al-Faraj, a Kuwaiti security adviser to the GCC, told Reuters the Russian intervention in effect meant Syria would now be partitioned between a coastal strip held by Assad - who is from the Alawite minority, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam - and a Sunni Muslim majority hinterland, with Iran a major beneficiary."The GCC understands that a new Syrian entity carved out under Assad means preserving Iranian interests, which is to have a front in the Mediterranean," he said. "The Iranians have chosen the right great power to be with - the Russians."He said he expected the GCC to emulate the U.S. example and seek to ensure that the armed opposition groups it backs in Syria did not engage the Russian troops in combat.The Gulf Arab states will continue to funnel weapons to the opposition groups, he added, but would "not give them with the objective of fighting Russian forces in Syria".Russia's move looks likely to chill a tentative detente begun this year between Russia and Saudi Arabia despite their backing for opposing sides in Syria's conflict and their differences over the issue of Iran's nuclear program.Riyadh is still smarting over a Russian-Chinese veto in February 2012 of a U.N. Security Resolution drafted by the Saudis and backed by the West that Assad should step down.And in March, Jubeir's predecessor Prince Saud al-Faisal accused Putin of hypocrisy, angrily telling an Arab summit Russia could not talk of wanting peace in the Middle East while simultaneously backing Assad in Syria.In June, the atmosphere appeared to improve when Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman led a delegation of Saudi officials to Moscow and signed military and energy agreements.The trip raised speculation about closer bilateral ties between two countries but that prospect has dimmed for now.Abdulkhaleq Abdulla, a UAE political scientist, said Assad would not last "one day" without external support, adding: "All things considered, it's a safer bet that he will fall than that he can be propped up. But Russia hasn't realized this."(Additional reporting by Noah Browning, Sami Aboudi, Angus McDowall, Marwa alMalik; Editing by Gareth Jones)

EU refugee plan attacked on eve of crisis summit-Reuters By Francesco Guarascio and Alastair Macdonald-sept 22,15-yahoonews

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A plan to share out refugees across the European Union was rejected outright by the Czech Republic on Tuesday and criticized by a United Nations agency for not going far enough.Nearly half a million people fleeing war and poverty, two-fifths of them from Syria, have crossed the Mediterranean this year to reach Europe, overwhelming the EU's southern states and plunging them into furious rows over border controls.Hours before a meeting of EU interior ministers to discuss the plan to redistribute 120,000 refugees across the 28-nation bloc, Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said his country would reject any quota system.He said any attempt to impose such a scheme could end in "big ridicule" for the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, and for governments that supported the idea.The U.N. refugee agency, the UNHCR, said the 120,000 people the bloc is seeking to share out were equivalent to just 20 days' worth of arrivals at the current rate."A relocation program alone, at this stage in the crisis, will not be enough to stabilize the situation," UNHCR spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said, calling on the EU to set up reception facilities for tens of thousands of refugees at any one time.Refugees and migrants arriving in Greece and Italy have been streaming north across the continent to reach more affluent nations like Germany, triggering disputes between governments in central and eastern Europe as they alternately try to block the flow or to shunt the burden on to their neighbors.Serbia threatened to retaliate on Tuesday after EU member Croatia halted all cargo traffic from its eastern neighbor.Norway became the latest member of Europe's 26-nation Schengen area, where people can normally travel across frontiers without showing a passport, to say it would intensify border controls.The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development said Europe could expect a record one million people to request asylum this year, and almost half would probably qualify to be taken in.PREY FOR ISLAMISTS-In Germany, by far the most popular destination, the head of domestic intelligence said there was a big worry that radical Islamists living in the country could try to recruit young refugees "who could be easy prey".Amid the recriminations, EU leaders want to focus at an emergency summit on Wednesday on ramping up aid for Syrian refugees in Turkey and the rest of the Middle East and tightening control on the bloc's frontiers.Officials hope some compromise on the relocation scheme can be found at a meeting of interior ministers on Tuesday, to prevent the summit being consumed by the same thorny issue.But despite seeking consensus for weeks on the quota plan, diplomats said it was unclear whether a deal could be reached.Senior officials have voiced growing exasperation with the feuding -- notably between Germany, which wants governments to accept mandatory national quotas for housing the newcomers, and ex-Communist eastern states vehemently opposed to such demands.The European Commission backs the quota scheme, but opponents call it a distraction, irrelevant to the problem of targeting aid to the neediest and reducing the numbers risking dangerous sea crossings.After a failed interior ministers meeting last week, it is clear that the dissenters, notably Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, can be out-voted. But diplomats said they were working to find consensus to avoid such an outcome, arguing that on such a sensitive issue it could further poison relations in the bloc."This is the worst I've ever known things in more than 20 years dealing with European affairs," one senior diplomat said.(Writing by Mark Trevelyan; Editing by Janet Lawrence)

Ukraine presses NATO chief for defensive weapons-Reuters By Robin Emmott-sept 22,15-yahoonews

KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine pressed NATO on Tuesday for Western weaponry to help defend itself against pro-Russian separatists but the head of the alliance resisted for fear of threatening a fragile ceasefire with Russian-backed rebels.In Kiev's imposing Soviet-era government buildings, Ukraine's political leadership told NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg that their armed forces were no match for Russia, and needed help."Our heroes, our warriors belong to an army that was neglected for decades...they face aggression and need defensive weaponry," the speaker of the parliament, Volodymyr Groysman, told Stoltenberg making his first visit to Ukraine as head of NATO, 18 months after Russia seized Ukraine's Crimean peninsula.Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk, sitting alongside Stoltenberg at a national security council meeting, was equally blunt in depicting a threat from Russia which, however, denies it has provided weapons to the rebels in the east."Defense capabilities are essential to us in the face of a nuclear country, which has spent tens of billions of dollars on modernizing its army," Yatseniuk said.Diplomats said the issue of weaponry was raised at the security council, but the tone was less strident than in public. Initially, defensive equipment, for the Ukrainians, could include more communication equipment, they said.Hours earlier, Stoltenberg had signed agreements to help modernize the Ukrainian armed forces.But Stoltenberg said that was as far as NATO would go, telling Reuters in an interview that "NATO does not provide or supply weapons.""The main focus now is the implementation of the Minsk agreement," Stoltenberg said, adding that Monday was the first day since the peace deal was signed in February in which no violations of the ceasefire had been registered.-EUROPE'S OUTPOST-The ebb in violence in Ukraine's east, where the West say Russia is supporting and arming separatists and has positioned its own heavy weapons, was an opportunity for new momentum for diplomacy, Stoltenberg said.Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, while accepting that non-NATO Ukraine could not expect direct military aid, portrayed his country as a bulwark against Russian aggression that could one day threaten other parts of the continent."De jure we are not allies, but de facto we are much more than partners. Ukraine is the most eastern outpost of the Euro-Atlantic area," Poroshenko said.Stoltenberg sees Ukraine as the most complex of Europe's many crises and backs the 11-step Minsk peace deal signed in February that set an end-year deadline for implementation.He sees the alliance's role mainly limited to helping rebuild the Ukrainian army after years of mismanagement that was reflected in defeats by the pro-Russian rebels.Former president Viktor Yanukovich dropped a bid to join NATO in 2010 to please Moscow. When he moved last year to decline an EU partnership deal and draw closer to Moscow, he was toppled by protests dubbed by Russia a Western-backed coup.The current pro-Western leadership under Poroshenko now sees NATO membership as the only way to protect its territory. NATO, however, wants to avoid provoking Moscow.Russia opposes any potential expansion of NATO to former communist areas of eastern and southeastern Europe, part of a battle for influence that lies at the heart of the conflict in Ukraine.(Reporting by Robin Emmott; Additional reporting by Pavel Polityuk and Alessandra Prentice; Editing by Richard Balmforth and Ralph Boulton)

More than 2 million Muslims in Saudi start hajj pilgrimage-Associated Press By AYA BATRAWY-SEPT 22,15-YAHOONEWS
MECCA, Saudi Arabia (AP) — More than 2 million Muslims on Tuesday started the first rites of the annual hajj in Saudi Arabia, one of the world's largest religious pilgrimages that draws people from different countries to the holy city of Mecca to perform a series of rituals and prayers aimed at erasing past sins.Newly-arrived pilgrims circled the Kaaba, the black cube-shaped structure in Mecca's Grand Mosque toward which all Muslims pray. In a sign of humility and equality before God, the pilgrims shed symbols of worldly materialism, entering a state known as "ihram" — women forgo makeup and perfume for loose fitted clothing and a head-covering while men wear seamless terry cloth white garments.Islam requires all able-bodied Muslims to perform the hajj once in a lifetime. The pilgrimage is among the five main pillars of Islam, which also include belief in the oneness of God and the Prophet Muhammad as his final messenger, five daily prayers facing toward the Kaaba, annual charity and fasting during the month of Ramadan.Muslims believe the hajj traces the paths of the Prophets Abraham, Ishmael and Muhammad. Pilgrims start the hajj in Mecca, before heading to the nearby tent city of Mina, five kilometers (three miles) away.In Mecca, they circle the Kaaba counterclockwise seven times, and also re-enact the path of Hagar, the wife of the patriarch Abraham, who Muslims believe ran between two hills searching for water for her dying young son. Tradition holds that God then brought forth a spring of water that runs until this day and which Muslims drink from during the hajj.Since arriving to Mecca over the past several weeks, hundreds of thousands have chanted, "Labayk Allahuma Labayk," or "Here I am, God, answering your call. Here I am."Many prayed for their deceased kin. Sadi Zawya, who lost his wife earlier year and is now raising his five children on his own was among the sea of people.Arriving from Egypt, 62-year-old Hoda Darahim said her 35 year-old daughter died this year, and that she is now raising her two grandchildren, relying on financial help from her older sons and the small government pension she receives."Her dream was to perform the hajj," Darahim said of her daughter. "So I am fulfilling her wish."Moussa bin Abdullah Butu, a 38-year-old artist from Nigeria, said this will be his third hajj but an especially challenging one since he lost his two-year old son, Abdullah, to a long illness earlier this year. "In the white ihram, the rich man and the poor, we are all together," he said.The hajj requires physical perseverance, finances and a coveted hajj visa, which is limited to country-by-country quotas to manage crowd safety. Butu said he was very grateful for his visa and the opportunity to once again perform the hajj."I know that I am one of the people that Allah chose ... I am one of the people Allah called this year," Butu said.The main day of hajj this year falls on Wednesday, when between 2 to 3 million pilgrims gather in a valley called Arafat, packed shoulder to shoulder in prayer and supplication. It is at Arafat where the Prophet Muhammad delivered his final sermon some 1,400 years ago, calling for equality and unity among Muslims.

Abbas warns of intifada risk after Jerusalem clashes-AFP By Sarah Benhaida-sept 22,15-yahoonews

Jerusalem (AFP) - Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas warned Tuesday of the risk of a new intifada after clashes last week at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound and with tensions rising as Jews and Muslims celebrate major religious holidays.Abbas's comments after meeting French President Francois Hollande in Paris came with peace efforts at a standstill for more than a year and a recent poll showing a majority of Palestinians support a return to an armed uprising."What is happening is very dangerous," Abbas said, while warning against "an intifada (uprising) which we don't want".The Palestinian leader, whose recent moves have stirred speculation over whether he intends to step down soon, plans to travel to Russia after Paris as he seeks to rally support before his upcoming speech at the UN General Assembly.Jerusalem was calm on Tuesday but under tight security, with thousands of police officers deployed and authorities closing off the city to residents of the occupied West Bank.Unrest however hit the flashpoint Hebron area in the southern West Bank, with Israeli forces shooting a Palestinian woman who allegedly tried to stab a soldier. The 18-year-old later died from her wounds, her father said.Overnight in the village of Dura near Hebron, another Palestinian was killed by an explosive device he intended to toss at a military vehicle, an Israeli military spokeswoman said. Residents provided a similar account.Palestinian security officials however said he was shot dead by Israeli troops and named him as Dia al-Talahmeh, 21.- Tight security in Jerusalem -Hundreds later gathered for his funeral in the village while declaring him a "martyr," with his body wrapped in a flag for militant group Islamic Jihad."I am very proud of my son. I hope out of every Palestinian house, a martyr will emerge," said his mother, who declined to provide her name.The army spokeswoman said a patrol had been deployed to clear stones blocking a road outside Hebron when the incident occurred."The soldiers heard an explosion and during a search of the sector they found the body of a Palestinian killed by the explosive device he intended to throw at one of our vehicles," she said.Tensions have been running high ahead of the Jewish Yom Kippur holiday which begins at sundown on Tuesday.The Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday begins on Wednesday evening and continues until Sunday.Israel has deployed thousands of police in Jerusalem and shut it off from the West Bank, with checkpoints closed for the holiday as in previous years.There were also age restrictions on Muslims entering the Al-Aqsa compound in Jerusalem's Old City, with men under 40 prohibited. Israeli authorities implement such age restrictions when tensions are high in a bid to avoid violence.Last week's clashes occurred as Jews celebrated their New Year, or Rosh Hashanah.Police said they raided the Al-Aqsa compound to stop youths who had barricaded themselves inside the mosque from disrupting visits by Jews and tourists.Clashes broke out during the raids, with protesters throwing fireworks, stones and other objects at police, who fired stun grenades.- Support rises for new intifada -Al-Aqsa, the third holiest site in Islam, is also venerated by Jews as the Temple Mount and is considered the most sacred place in Judaism.Muslims have been alarmed by an increase in visits by Jews to the site and fear rules governing the compound will be changed. Jews are allowed to visit but not to pray to avoid provoking tensions.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said repeatedly he is committed to the status quo at the site.Israel seized east Jerusalem, where Al-Aqsa is located, in the Six-Day War of 1967 and later annexed it in a move never recognised by the international community.Hollande, after meeting Abbas on Tuesday, called for "peace, calm and the respect of principles" at the Al-Aqsa compound.A poll out this week showed 57 percent of Palestinians support a return to an armed intifada in the absence of peace negotiations, up from 49 percent three months ago.Poll organisers said the figure was similar to numbers seen ahead of the second Palestinian intifada in 2000.Meanwhile, two-thirds of Palestinians believe that Abbas, 80, should resign, according to the poll by the respected Palestinian Centre for Policy and Survey Research.

Russia in Syria: Did Putin just clip Israel's wings?-Netanyahu says he and Putin agreed on ways to avoid conflict between their forces in Syria. For years Israel has had a free hand to attack arms transfers to Hezbollah.Christian Science Monitor By Joshua Mitnick-sept 22,15-yahoonews

But all the pleasantries Monday couldn’t hide the awkwardness of the new wrinkle in Russian-Israeli relations. Moscow’s decision to boost its military presence in northern Syria in support of President Bashar al-Assad has posed a potential challenge to Mr. Netanyahu, who for years has had a relatively free hand to carry out strikes against arms shipments that Israel says goes from Iran, through Syria, to the Shiite militia Hezbollah in Lebanon.If Israeli intelligence gets tipped off that Syrian forces are shipping advanced missiles to Hezbollah near where Russian troops are stationed, Netanyahu is liable to face a dilemma: should Israel attack the weapons convoy preemptively and risk injuring Russians? The coordination mechanism announced by Israel is supposed to avoid tactical “misunderstandings,” but potentially crimps Israel’s maneuvers.“It complicates reality. It potentially limits Israel’s freedom of action,” said Ehud Eiran, a political science professor at Haifa University who focuses on national security. “The fascinating question is whether it will constrain Israel or not. Israel has been looking at Lebanon and Syria as areas where it could fly freely.”Not since the collapse of the Soviet Union has Israel faced a potentially unfriendly superpower so close to its borders. Though Russia is no longer supporting a coalition of Arab states in direct conflict with the Jewish state as it did during the cold war, the fallout from the Russian intervention could boost the Iranian-led alliance of Shiite forces supporting Mr. Assad.Speaking to Israeli reporters after the Kremlin meeting, Netanyahu said Israel would continue to act to block weapons transfers from Syria to Lebanon and against the establishment of an Iranian-backed military front on the Golan Heights.-ISRAEL HAS INTERVENED IN SYRIA FOR YEARS-Israel’s policy of intervening against perceived threats from Syria goes back to 2006, when it bombed a nuclear reactor there. While acknowledging Israeli concerns about spillover from the war, Mr. Putin played down Israeli fears of a new front in Syria, saying Russia’s actions would be “responsible.”But that’s not the same as assuring Israel it can continue to operate freely in Syrian airspace, analysts say.“In effect, Russia is dictating by saying, ‘Our soldiers, rockets, and aircraft are there. Don’t mess with us,’” says Moshe Maoz, an expert on Syria at Hebrew University. He sees the new dialogue with Russia as a strategic mistake for Israel“It’s going to advance the expansion of Iran. Israel can’t do very much about it, but Israel is shooting itself in the foot by agreeing” to the coordination with Moscow, he says. “Israel is undermining its relations with the Sunni Muslim majority” in Syria and the region by cooperating with an ally of Assad.-RUSSIA FILLING A VACUUM-Indeed, over the years of the Syrian civil war, Israeli policymakers have disagreed over whether they prefer the chaos that would come with the collapse of the Assad regime and the consequent strategic blow to Israel’s chief enemy in Iran, or the relative stability if the so-called “devil that it knows” remains in power.Even though the Russians are filling a vacuum in Syria left by Israel’s chief ally, the United States, some security analysts in Israel wonder if Russia might help to tamp down arms shipments to Hezbollah.Eyal Zisser, a Syria expert at Tel Aviv University, says such assistance is unlikely, but he does believe the coordination will have a tactical benefit by avoiding a flare-up with Israel’s enemies active in Syria.“The Russians are the only ones that speak with all the powers,” he says. “It’s important to keep the channels open, and avoid escalation.”

Copper in Caserones warehouse in Chile safe after tsunami -company-SANTIAGO, Sept 20-reuters

The tsunami that hit the Chilean port of Coquimbo after Wednesday's earthquake did not damage the copper concentrate in JX Nippon Mining & Metals' Caserones warehouse despite minor flooding, the company said."The warehouse received minor damage and the entry of water without affecting the integrity of the installation or putting at risk the 2,315 tonnes of copper concentrate stored inside," the company's local unit said in a statement on Sunday.The 8.3-magnitude quake struck the center of Chile late on Wednesday, leaving 13 dead and triggering huge waves that pounded Coquimbo and other coastal areas. The government has declared the port under emergency.The Caserones mine started commercial operations in 2014 and produced 18,000 tonnes of copper concentrate in the first half of 2015.JX Nippon Mining & Metals is a unit of Japan's JX Holdings Inc.Other copper mines in Chile, the world's top producer, have said the quake did not seriously their installations.

Residents clear mud, rubble as rebuilding begins after Chile quake-reuters

COQUIMBO, Chile | By Felipe Iturrieta-Residents began rebuilding homes and businesses in Coquimbo on Friday, two days after tsunami waves triggered by a major earthquake battered the Chilean port city's waterfront neighborhoods.Soldiers patrolled the streets to prevent looting after President Michelle Bachelet's government declared an emergency in Coquimbo following the 8.3-magnitude quake, which killed 12 people.At least one strong aftershock shook Chile's Pacific seaboard on Friday as residents trying to salvage what they could from their properties urged the government to speed up the relief effort."We're just getting started with removing the mud and the rubble," said Maria Gonzalez, whose fish and seafood restaurant in Coquimbo's port was badly damaged. "They have to help us fix our businesses and get back to the life we had."Waves of up to 4.5 meters (15 feet) slammed into Coquimbo's shoreline, flinging large fishing boats and shipping containers onto the streets and sending floodwaters pouring into downtown.The quake was the strongest recorded in the world this year, but the swift evacuation of coastal zones and strict building regulations appeared to help keep the death toll low.Some Coquimbo residents said government aid was slow to arrive. A handful of protesters briefly blocked the highway leading to and from the city on Friday morning before police arrived and dismantled their roadblock."We haven't eaten in three days!" one of the demonstrators shouted.Chile quake victims assess damage"We understand that people are desperate and don't know what to do," he told Reuters around midday. "The aid packages arrived this morning and are being distributed, starting now."The economic cost of the earthquake, which followed floods in northern Chile and volcanic eruptions in the south earlier this year, could be anywhere between $100 million and $1 billion, Fitch rating agency said.Bachelet, who was widely criticized for her slow response to a monster quake in 2010 that killed more than 500 people, hugged victims as she toured the disaster zone on Thursday. Those hit by the tsunami lost practically everything, said Askaan Wohlt of the Desafio Levantemos Chile charity, which was established after the 2010 earthquake. "Our focus is going to be to help businesses rebuild," said Wohlt.The tsunami that hit Coquimbo flooded a warehouse for copper concentrate from the Caserones mine, Japan's JX Nippon Mining and Metals said on Friday. The company said it did not know how much copper concentrate was stored there.Chile is the world's largest copper producer. Concerns over supply disruptions eased on Thursday when state copper miner Codelco [CODEL.L] restarted operations at its Andina project and London-listed Antofagasta Plc said it expected to resume normal operations.The massive 8.8-magnitude quake that walloped south central Chile some five years ago released five times more energy than Wednesday's temblor, according to Juan Carlos de la Llera, dean of engineering at Chile's Universidad Catolica.(Writing by Anthony Esposito and Hugh Bronstein; Editing by Richard Lough, Jeffrey Benkoe and Jonathan Oatis)

GOP candidate Carson: Muslim shouldn't be elected president-Associated Press By HOPE YEN-SEPT 20,15-YAHOONEWS

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson says Islam is antithetical to the Constitution, and he doesn't believe that a Muslim should be elected president.Carson, a devout Christian, says a president's faith should matter to voters if it runs counter to the values and principles of America. Responding to a question during an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," he described the Islamic faith as inconsistent with the Constitution."I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation," Carson said. "I absolutely would not agree with that."He did not specify in what way Islam ran counter to constitutional principles.Carson's comments drew strong criticism from the country's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, the Council on American-Islamic Relations."To me this really means he is not qualified to be president of the United States," said the group's spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper. "You cannot hold these kinds of views and at the same time say you will represent all Americans, of all faiths and backgrounds."Hooper said the Constitution expressly forbids religious tests for those seeking public office and called for the repudiation of "these un-American comments."In a separate appearance on NBC, one of Carson's rivals for the GOP nomination, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, was asked whether he would have a problem with a Muslim in the White House. "The answer is, at the end of the day, you've got to go through the rigors, and people will look at everything. But, for me, the most important thing about being president is you have leadership skills, you know what you're doing and you can help fix this country and raise this country. Those are the qualifications that matter to me."Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who taped Sunday an episode of Iowa Press, an Iowa Public Television program, was asked if he agreed with Carson's statements on Muslims being president. "The Constitution specifies that there shall be no religious test for public office, and I am a constitutionalist," Cruz said.Carson's comments came amid lingering fallout over Republican Donald Trump's refusal last week to take issue with a man during a campaign event who wrongly called President Barack Obama a Muslim and said Muslims are "a problem in this country."Also speaking on NBC on Sunday, Trump said that a Muslim in the White House is "something that could happen... Some people have said it already happened, frankly."In multiple interviews Sunday, Trump tried to draw a distinction between all American Muslims and extremist Muslims in the U.S. and elsewhere."I have friends that are Muslims they're great people, amazing people," Trump said on CNN's "State of the Union.""You have extremists Muslims that are in a class by themselves," Trump added. "It's a problem in this country, it's a problem throughout this world.... You do have a problem with radical Muslims."GOP candidates have been split over whether to criticize Trump, who has been a vocal skeptic of Obama's birthplace and faith. Obama is Christian.In the NBC interview, Carson said he believes that Obama was born in the U.S. and is Christian, saying he has "no reason to doubt" what the president says.Carson also made a distinction when it came to electing Muslims to Congress, calling it a "different story" from the presidency that "depends on who that Muslim is and what their policies are, just as it depends on what anybody else says."Congress has two Muslim members, Democratic Reps. Keith Ellison of Minnesota and Andre Carson of Indiana."If there's somebody who's of any faith, but they say things, and their life has been consistent with things that will elevate this nation and make it possible for everybody to succeed, and bring peace and harmony, then I'm with them," Carson said.___Associated Press writers Catherine Lucey in Des Moines, Iowa, and Kevin Freking in Washington contributed to this report.___This story has been corrected to show that two Muslims serve in Congress, not one.

Ben Carson says a Muslim shouldn't be president. Who agrees?-Polls suggest that 38 percent of voters would not support a Muslim candidate, but that, overall, Americans are becoming more accepting.Christian Science Monitor By Molly Jackson-SEPT 20,15-YAHOONEWS

Asked by Mr. Todd whether a candidate’s faith should matter, Dr. Carson, a Seventh Day Adventist who enjoys an 87 percent approval among white Evangelicals, replied that a president’s beliefs should not be “inconsistent with the values and principles of America,” or with the Constitution. When Todd then asked if Carson considered Islam “consistent with the Constitution,” Carson said no, without providing further explanation.The “Meet the Press” conversation comes in the wake of candidate Donald Trump’s latest controversy surrounding race and religion, after he declined to correct a New Hampshire supporter on Thursday who claimed, “We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one. You know he’s not even an American.” Recommended: Six reasons so many Republicans are running for president-The exchange quickly drew criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike, reflecting a GOP increasingly concerned with Trump’s often-contentious rhetoric. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, for instance, told the “Today” show, “I wouldn’t have permitted that,” calling President Obama’s American roots and Christian faith “self-evident.”Obama was born in Hawaii and is Christian. But according to recent polls, many Americans believe otherwise: CNN/ORC found that only 71 percent of conservatives think Obama was born in the US, while nearly half suspect he is Muslim.Carson is far from alone in preferring a non-Muslim president. For decades, Gallup has surveyed Americans about their support for hypothetical candidates with particular characteristics, asking “If your party nominated a generally well-qualified person for president who happened to be ____, would you vote for that person?” Results from 2015 reveal that 27 percent of Democrats, and 55 percent of Republicans, would not elect a Muslim. When the poll began in 1937, voters were only asked whether they would support a female, Catholic, or Jewish candidate, to which 33 percent, 60 percent, and 46 percent said “Yes,” respectively. Changes to the survey itself reveal the country’s shifting demographics, and advancing laws: respondents were first asked about black and atheist candidates in 1958, Mormons in 1967, gay candidates in 1978, Hispanics not until 2007, and Muslims in 2012.Although a Muslim candidate would evidently face an uphill battle, the steepest challenge awaits atheist and socialist politicians. Support for an atheist candidate has doubled since the 1950s, but is still low, at 60 percent. But support for socialists is still rarer, making it the least-popular characteristic, with a full half of respondents saying a socialist could not win their vote. Over the decades, support for most categories has risen: today, as a diverse array of candidates wrestles for the 2016 nominations, more than 90 percent of Americans say they would vote for a Catholic, female, black, Hispanic, or Jewish president.Would a Muslim candidate today fare better than 2012? It’s hard to say. Among Democrats, support for a hypothetical Muslim president has inched up, from 69 percent to 73 percent, but Republicans’ approval has actually fallen, down to 45 percent from 2012’s 47 percent. Long-term, the increased-acceptance trend may continue, thanks to generational outlooks: Gallup notes that “at least two-thirds of adults younger than 30 say they are willing to vote for a candidate with any of the characteristics included in the survey,” and support for a Muslim candidate is highest among the age 18-to-29 set, at 76 percent, a full 32 percentage points higher than among voters over 65.Vox’s Max Fisher has hypothesized that Obama’s attempt “to defray the tide of American Islamophobia” in reaction to ISIS may fuel some Americans’ stubborn insistence that he is a Muslim, in spite of his numerous mentions, and displays, of his Christian faith. The same fear of radical Islam, framed as a war of civilizations, likely hampers any Muslim candidate’s chances.For now, though, the candidate most likely affected by these numbers is none other than Senator Bernie Sanders: as of 2007, 57 percent said they would not vote for a candidate over age 72, adding to his challenges as a 74-year-old nonobservant Jewish socialist.

16  Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
17  And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.(COULD THIS BE 70 YEARS AFTER ISRAEL BECAME A NATION IN 1948)(IF SO THIS SATANIC ONE WORLD WHORE CHURCH WILL MINGLE TOGETHER BY 2018)(AND NOW ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY AND ALL RELIGIONS ARE MINGLING AS ONE PEACE-LOVE-JOY-GET ALONG RELIGION LEAD BY THE VATICAN RIGHT NOW 4 YEARS FROM THE 70 YEAR TIME WHEN ISRAEL BECAME A NATION).AND IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM.

REVELATION 13:11-18
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;(FALSE VATICAN POPE) and he had two horns like a lamb,(JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD) and he spake as a dragon.(HES SATANICALLY INSPIRED,HES A CHRISTIAN DEFECTOR FROM THE FAITH)
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,(WORLD DICTATOR) and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.(THE WORLD DICTATOR CREATES A FALSE RESURRECTION AND IS CROWNED LEADER OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER).
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

REVELATION 17:1-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
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.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen,(1-ASSYRIA,2-EGYPT,3-BABYLON,4-MEDO-PERSIA,5-GREECE) and one is,(IN POWER IN JOHNS AND JESUS DAY-6-ROME) and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.(7TH-REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE OR THE EUROPEAN UNION TODAY AND THE SHORT SPACE IS-THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL HAVE WORLD CONTROL FOR THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS.BUT WILL HAVE ITS MIGHTY WORLD POWER FOR THE FULL 7 YEARS OF THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD.AND THE WORLD DICTATOR WILL BE THE BEAST FROM THE EU.AND THE VATICAN POPE WILL BE THE WHORE THAT RIDES THE EUROPEAN UNION TO POWER.AND THE 2 EUROPEAN UNION POWER FREAKS WILL CONTROL AND DECIEVE THE WHOLE EARTH INTO THEIR DESTRUCTION.IF YOU ARE NOT SAVED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.YOU WILL BE DECIEVED BY THESE TWO.THE WORLD POLITICIAN-THE EUROPEAN UNION DICTATOR.AND THE FALSE PROPHET THAT DEFECTS CHRISTIANITY-THE FALSE VATICAN POPE.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE WORLD OVER 1 BILLION)
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,(WORLD DICTATOR) these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

The Twin Flags Of Vatican City And Palestine To Be Raised Over UN For Pope Francis Visit-Geoffrey Grider | September 20, 2015 | -Holy See flag to be raised outside UN headquarters for Pope Francis’ arrival Sept. 25

“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 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.” Revelation 17:5-7 (KJV)-EDITOR’S NOTE: In May of 2015, Pope Francis signed a treaty formally recognizing the enemies of Israel, the mythical state of Palestine. This week, when he arrives to take over the United Nations, the twin flags of both Vatican City and Palestine will be raised in symbolic conquest for the first time in the 70 year history of the UN. Wait just a minute! Did someone say “70 years”? Just ask the prophets Jeremiah and Daniel about the importance of the number 70 in fulfilling Bible prophecy. Catholics and Muslims, conquering the world in the name of their end times god. Things are about to get very interesting. UNITED NATIONS –  A United Nations official confirms that the flag of Vatican City will be raised for the first time outside U.N headquarters the morning of Pope Francis’ first visit. It is a turnaround for the Vatican, whose U.N. ambassador has said it had “no intention” of raising the flag before the pope arrives Sept. 25.The United Nations General Assembly last week overwhelmingly approved a Palestinian proposal to raise its flag and that of the Holy See as the U.N.’s two non-member observer states.The Palestinians have announced a ceremony for their flag-raising Sept. 30 during the annual U.N. gathering of world leaders. But the Holy See flag is set to be raised quietly.The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly about the event.

Pope Francis: I will do everything possible to build bridges between US, Cuba--19/09/2015 08:47

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis said he will “do everything possible to build bridges, to remove barriers, and to foster communication” between Cuba and the United States during his 10-day visit to the two countries.“That communication can then bring about friendship,” he said during a teleconference aired by CNN en Español on Friday.The Holy Father was answering questions from students in Havana and New York in an ecounter which was organized with the charity “Scholas occurrentes.”The question about the US embargo on Cuba came from a student in Havana.“One of the nicest things is the friendship among societies,” Pope Francis said. “That is what I would like you to want: a friendship among societies.”Asked by another Cuban student about his style of leadership, Pope Francis said, “a good leader is one who is capable of bringing up other leaders. If a leader wants to lead alone, he is a tyrant. True leadership is fruitful. Each one of you has the seed of leadership.""The leaders of today will not be here tomorrow,” said Pope Francis. “If they do not plant the seed of leadership in others, then they are no good, they are dictators.” Pope Francis also spoke about the rights of children to an education, saying “we are in a time of crisis in the world when it comes to education.”“Think the number of children in countries that are at war right now, with no education. Thousands and thousands of children,” he said.“It is a challenge. It is a challenge that must be faced. And we have to start,” the Pope said.Pope Francis challenged young people to not wait until the governments come to an agreement, but called on them to “educate each other,” and commended those who gave up holidays and weekends to teach others.Pope Francis also said an important part of education is playing, because that is where you learn “how to be social, and how to enjoy life.”“We have lost track of the number of children who do not have the pleasure of being able to play, because of war, poverty, or because they live on the street,” he said.During the encounter, Pope Francis also said young people need to start taking care of the environment, saying it is “shouting for us to pay attention.”“First of all, see the problems in your neighborhood, your city, and your country. What environmental problems exist?” said the Pope, urging them to look for concrete ways to act.Pope Francis ended the encounter by telling the young people “Do not be afraid,” adding  “fear paralyzes.” He reminded them the future in their hands.

Pope visits Fidel Castro before formal meeting with Cuba's president-By Cindy Wooden Catholic News Service-9.20.2015 3:35 PM ET-CNS/Reuters

HAVANA (CNS) -- Although it was not part of his formal program, Pope Francis took time after Sunday Mass to visit Cuba's ailing former leader, Fidel Castro.Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, said that after the Mass Sept. 20 in Havana's Revolution Square, Pope Francis was driven to the ailing 89-year-old's residence for the meeting, which lasted 30-40 minutes.In the presence of Castro's wife, children and grandchildren, Father Lombardi said, the meeting was "familial and informal."Pope Francis, he said, picked up on the conversation Pope Benedict XVI had with Castro in 2012. At that time, Father Lombardi had said Castro had asked about how the church is handling the ethical challenges posed by scientific and technological developments and the relationship between faith and reason, as well as the pope's concerns about a growing number of people who don't believe in God or act as if God does not exist."In the end," Father Lombardi said at the time, "Commandante Fidel asked the pope to send him a few books" dealing with the questions he had.Pope Francis arrived at the meeting at Castro's home ready to continue the discussion and fulfill Castro's desire to read more. Father Lombardi said the pope gave Castro two books by the Italian catechist, Father Alessandro Pronzato. One of the books is about the importance of humor and happiness in the spiritual life and the other on the Gospel and social issues.In addition, he said, the pope brought a book and two CDs of homilies by Jesuit Father Armando Llorente, who had been one of Castro's teachers in high school in Belen, Cuba.To round off the gifts, Pope Francis also brought the former Cuban leader copies of his apostolic exhortation, "The Joy of the Gospel," and "Laudato Si'," his encyclical on the environment.Castro returned the favor by giving the pope a copy of "Fidel & Religion: A Conversation With Fidel Castro" by Frei Betto.After lunch and a rest, Pope Francis made a formal visit to President Raul Castro in Havana's Palace of the Revolution.While the pope and president were meeting privately, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, his secretary of state, and top Vatican diplomats were holding talks with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla and his staff.The pope and president spent about 45 minutes speaking privately before exchanging gifts. Pope Francis gave the president a mosaic of Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre made in the Vatican mosaic studio. The pope invited the artist, Valentina Ambrosi, to join his entourage for the trip, and he introduced her to Castro.Castro's gift to the pope was an enormous crucifix, which had been covered with a huge while cloth. The president ceremoniously unveiled it, revealing the cross made of bundled boat oars.Follow Wooden on Twitter: @Cindy_Wooden.
