... the LORD has a controversy with the nations
"Therefore you shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them, `The LORD will roar from on high And utter His voice from His holy habitation; He will roar mightily against His fold. He will shout like those who tread the grapes, Against all the inhabitants of the earth. `A clamor has come to the end of the earth, Because the LORD has a controversy with the nations. He is entering into judgment with all flesh; As for the wicked, He has given them to the sword,' declares the LORD." Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Behold, evil is going forth From nation to nation, And a great storm is being stirred up From the remotest parts of the earth. - Jeremiah 25:30-32

Shalom in Christ Jesus,
 They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones. They have said, "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more." For they have conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant: - Psalms 83:3-5 Before you read further I would like to state that I know and have known many who have served the country of the United States in both enlisted and private capacities over the years and that it is through their testimonies that I have gained an immense understanding and respect for what they do and all those who serve. In addition, I believe there has never been a finer system than ours and it is those military and civilian servants that perform the day to day, mundane duties that keep our country ticking like clockwork. For the most part these servants also follow the laws that they have been entrusted to keep and are the unsung hero's of our nation. Below when I speak of America, I am not speaking of them per se, but of our total system that has become bought and controlled by a worldwide cabal of political, economic, and religious powerhouses, a.k.a., Mystery Babylon. --
Israel is Courting Disaster Events are happening at amazing speed (if you have not listen to it yet, may I recommend listening to The Vector by Jacob Prasch regarding this Scriptural phenomena). Many of us have noted this before and what we see in the Middle East and chaos at home all play significantly into this. There will be more to come regarding the situation in Syria and Iran but this alert is a collection of specific current and past items of the last months regarding Israel that has her ready to attack and NATO ready to intervene despite all the media propaganda. Notice the articles regarding the legislation over this past year that have put everything in place for US led attack on Iran if it is deemed necessary, despite the nay saying from the Obama Administration. Some have even suggested that the Gaza conflict was "pre-requisite" of any war with Iran. Some articles below will touch on this and more but as always, I see at least two legitimate sides in this and the one I'm most concerned about is the church not being deceived and Israel's salvation. Additionally, the next alert will Lord willingly address the election charade in America, but one of the main points will be that no matter who is elected the US State Department and her overall foreign policies are never affected and the ultimate goal of Middle East transformation stays on course. Hence, in reports below you will read what has been little publicized in the Western media of the growing division between the PA and Hamas, the later being strengthened by Washington and Qatar. The general point I want to make is this: Foremost, Hamas, al Qaeda the Salafis and the like are bloodthirsty terror organizations that worship a false god. However, there is blood on the hands of the US/NATO alliance and Israel for their two-faced use of this enemy and lies to their own countrymen that will come back to haunt them in the end. Note # 1: When will Israel wake up to the fact that she is courting disaster with US/NATO who is seducing her into a trap of deception and death that only her Messiah can deliver her? There is one saying that goes "if you dance with the devil you're going to get burned." Both the believing church and Israel has been blindly dancing with a political devil hoping for deliverance. Who is ultimately the most evil of the nations? A country and/or alliance that holds up and olive leaf in one hand and a sword in the other, all the while corralling all the others (all nations will come up against Jerusalem) to join in her trap. Surely America using Egypt to broker this latest false peace should be a trumpet blast in the ears of all as before the ink even dries on the document the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood calls for jihad to "liberate" the Palestinians. Again, as an American citizen myself I know there is a remnant of believers and a minority of those in the government and those in the military that do not believe this way, but the official foreign policy of the United States has been nothing other than Imperialist at the behest of the "woman riding the beast" for quite some time. It is time to awaken from this stupor, slumber, and rely wholly on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and nothing else. He is coming very soon! Note # 2: In previous alerts I have shared articles in both mainstream and alternative press that should cause us to seriously consider that the US/NATO alliance, Israel and Sunni states such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar have planned the current Middle East meltdown for quite a while (why Israel needs to pay attention to Note # 1). Additionally, our Western countries have alternatively used and warred against the Islamist agencies of al Qaeda, The Muslim Brotherhood, Salafis, Hamas and The Taliban, groups they helped to create in the first place at the same time while propagating the "war on terror" for public consumption at home. In some of the progressive media articles below I caution that there is a belief that just as the West helped to create and bolster these Islamist groups they did also with Israel. Outside of the obvious roles the British and US played in her initial stages I disagree with the conspiratorial ideas (however, there are real conspiracies - see below) in light of the fact that we have the God of the Universe, Who is completely in charge of history, even though the world is currently still under the domain of the evil one. That said, the overall analysis of The Land Destroyer Report below, I believe is excellent (just keep in mind these things). -- Psalm 83 and Conspiracies Often, when the topic of conspiracies arise, someone may quote Isaiah 8 to the believing church as a sort of "theological hedge" against suggesting conspiracies of any sort exist (in fact I'm sure I've used it myself): "You are not to say, `It is a conspiracy!' In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy, And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it. - Isaiah 8:12 In its context this command is to be heeded and the things that God allows for His plans to come to fruition can be clearly argued are not "conspiracy." Yet, if you look up the topic throughout Scripture, one finds there are in fact many genuine "conspiracies," that often times men, kings or nations conspire together against others, the chapter of 2 Kings 15 is an great example of such. To bury ones head in the sand regarding this just because pop culture, the mainstream media or the government wants you believe otherwise - that not agreeing with the "official storyline" makes one a 'nut-job', a conspiracy theorist or worse a fundamentalist is ludicrous. However, this is exactly what we find in the third through fifth verses of Psalm 83, a Psalm that has been gaining so much attention as of late because it contains an alliance of nations that come up against Israel (like Ezekiel 38-39) that has yet to be fulfilled. This alliance also happens to be Islamic and all in some way anti-Israel. What I find so interesting the more time I spend time researching the broader range of news reports and geo-political commentary regarding the current situation in the Middle East and all the nations and comparing it to Scripture, the more it becomes apparent that there is indeed a conspiracy, YES, conspiracy forming. This conspiracy is not only being formed against Israel but I would also include all of God's people, that is the believing church because the deception leads them to divert precious time and resources to supporting religious causes, nations and political factions that are in reality enemies of Christ and Israel. I would even include religious groups in this conspiracy that support Israel and the Jewish people on one hand socially while withholding the Gospel of their only Messiah Yeshua on the other. Examples abound 'far and wide' from the obnoxious: Henry Kissinger supposedly reports to a famous New York Post gossip columnist that "In 10 years, there will be no more Israel." Denials and ponderings from ol' Henry's staff and journalistic crews are here and here. To the deceptive: Many do not realize that retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, a regular Military analyst on Fox News and in other publications and who appears to be friendly to Israel is the author of before and after maps of a redrawn Middle East complete with a Free Kurdistan, the countries of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Syria thoroughly reduced in size and Israel back to pre-1967 borders. This was published in the Armed Forces Journal, June 2006. Many including the Kurds have picked up this map and it helps us to understand some of the growing rage in the Middle East because one can find it reproduced on many Middle Eastern websites (when I first came across it I thought it was a Kurdish production). If you have watched Fox News during the latest Israeli-Gaza battle, the Benghazi attacks, the Petraeus scandal or any of the Middle East uprisings, you are sure to see analysis by Lt. Col. Ralph Peters and his articles are everywhere. He wrote in a 1997 article called Constant Conflict: "There will be no peace. At any given moment for the rest of our lifetimes, there will be multiple conflicts in mutating forms around the globe. Violent conflict will dominate the headlines, but cultural and economic struggles will be steadier and ultimately more decisive. The de facto role of the US armed forces will be to keep the world safe for our economy and open to our cultural assault. To those ends, we will do a fair amount of killing." One would easily surmise that the US Military has been co-opted by Mystery Babylon as her personal police force. The real deal is this - and frankly, this is what is frustrating me so much because the believing church has been so blind to it. There is ample evidence that Israel's best friend in the world (America) for many years plays both sides of the field when it comes to our military strategies (just as we do with Mexico, drugs and the drug running Cartels). This is a "good cop, bad cop" strategy and only God's people seem to be fooled because rather than trusting in the Lord, they persist in trusting politicians that con them with smooth talk. There is only a "war on terror" where it suits America. Elsewhere, we arm, train and fund the terrorists such as al Qaeda and Hamas. Our CIA even claims to have "created" these groups. The same is true for Britain's MI6 and Israel's Mossad. It is an ugly and deceptive two-faced game that comes from the ungodly Eastern playbooks (the ones all our military commanders study), reeks of an Orwellian War is Peace played against our own society and is the very evil that is so rightly enraging the people of the Middle East and will ensure that they back the antichrist when he arises. This alert looks at the current situation with Israel, The United States, Iran and the nations. If there is one ultimate way to sum up what we are seeing it is that every player in the Middle East, The United States, Qatar, NATO Alliance, Britain, members of the intelligence community and even the Israeli's themselves are talking out of both sides of their mouths, playing on both sides of the field, however you want to describe it. It is a deadly and deceptive game of charades that will result in the rise of the antichrist and false prophet - but then, the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Yet, we must continue to pray for our leaders as commanded, pray that the Lord gives us wisdom in all things, that we may be salt and light to win souls for Him, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May the Lord bless and keep you,Scott Brisk  |

'Upgrade' would give Palestinians a place in UN akin to that of the Vatican
Invoking "the rules", Israel mulls toppling Abbas
|  "The diplomatic onslaught by (Abbas) is a strategic threat no less severe than (Hamas's) rockets ..."
REUTERS [Thomson-Reuters] - By Ori Lewis - November 14, 2012 Israel may try to topple President Mahmoud Abbas if he carries out a plan to ask the United Nations this month to upgrade the status of the Palestinian Authority, an official said on Wednesday. The upgrade would give the Palestinians a place in the world body akin to that of the Vatican -- short of full membership as a sovereign state but as close as they can get without the full recognition that Israel says can only come from a peace treaty.
A draft document from the office of Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, seen by Reuters, said Israel must confront this challenge by means that could include "toppling (Abbas) and dismantling the Palestinian Authority". Lieberman said in a speech at the settlement of Ariel in the occupied West Bank that if the Palestinian upgrade request was accepted by the U.N. General Assembly -- as is widely predicted -- it could force Israel to punish the Palestinians.
"If the ... proposal is adopted at the United Nations General Assembly, as far as we are concerned this would be a complete breaking of the rules and it will elicit an extreme response from us," Lieberman said on Wednesday. Newspaper reports say Israel instructed its ambassadors to warn it may revoke all or part of the 1993 Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organisation, which set up the Palestinian Authority under an interim peace agreement.
The Palestinians are currently an observer "entity" at the United Nations. An upgrade could grant them access to bodies such as the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where they might file legal suits against Israel. Israel and the United States oppose any backdoor, unilateral route to statehood which they say can only come from a negotiated treaty ending the 64-year-old Middle East conflict. ...
... "The diplomatic onslaught by (Abbas) is a strategic threat no less severe than (Hamas's) rockets. ... The status upgrade seems certain to win approval later this month in the General Assembly, which is composed mostly of post-colonial states historically sympathetic to the Palestinians. ... In a striking example of strange bedfellows, news of Israel's possible retaliation against Abbas coincided with a call from Hamas to topple the Palestinian president. ...

U.S. Rejoins U.N. Human Rights Council

United States rejoins human rights organization despite U.N. group's anti-Israel stance
WASHINGTON FREE BEACON - By Adam Kredo - November 13, 2012 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced Monday that the United States is "pleased" to have been reelected to the United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC), a controversial body that has been repeatedly chastised for its anti-Israel bias. The U.S. joined the body after President Barack Obama's election. Long shunned by the U.S. for its anti-Israel bent, the then-newly elected president claimed he could reform the organization.
Since that time, the HRC has called for a boycott of U.S. companies that do business with Israel and attempted to investigate Israeli settlements. The U.S. won reelection to the 47-member body on Tuesday after a "competitive" political race against several other Western nations.
"The United States is pleased to have been elected by the United Nations General Assembly to a second term on the Human Rights Council," Clinton said in a statement. "We thank the countries that voted for us in what was a highly competitive race among several qualified Western candidates that are all strong champions of human rights." Clinton promised to "strengthen the council" and end its "biased focus on Israel." ...
Foreign policy observers said the HRC's anti-Israel bias runs deep and offers the U.S. little room to effect change. "Elections have consequences," said one GOP foreign policy adviser. "In this case, four more years of membership in a group devoted to castigating Israel and making a mockery of human rights."
Some of the human rights-challenged HRC members include Pakistan, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela. The U.S. boycotted the HRC under former President George W. Bush.
The Obama administration rejoined the council in 2009. Touting a policy of "engagement," the president promised to use U.S. influence as a means of reform. However, there is little evidence to show it has reformed. ...
"The United States was elected to membership again, with 131 votes; and Hugo Chavez's Venezuela was elected, with 154 votes. Besides telling us something about how much popularity Obama foreign policy has won the United States, this vote and the election of Venezuela tell a good deal about the Council and how it is seen around the world."
Democratic and Republican observers have called the HRC's actions against Israel one-sided and ludicrous. Its continued focus on Israel is a sign to some that America's involvement is only giving legitimacy to such campaigns. ...

Middle East in high suspense for Gaza operation sequels
| DEBKAFILE - November 25, 2012 While Israel's Pillar of Cloud was still in full spate over the Gaza Strip and southern Israel, the United States, Russia, Iran, Israel and Turkey were each respectively putting their next moves in place in a broader radius, debkafile reports. ... America acted to shore up its naval and Marine forces in the region. Washington gave its approval for NATO to post Patriot anti-missile batteries in Turkey opposite the Syrian border together with advanced AWACs electronic warning aircraft. Both weapons systems are to be manned by US military crews. Next, the USS Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group took up position opposite the Israeli and Syrian shores, adding another section to the menacing ring forming around Syria. Moscow, Iran and Damascus, for their part, decided that the same coalition that laid a trail of disaster for its allies in the Gaza Strip, Hamas and Jihad Islami, were now about to pounce on Iran's best friend, Bashar Assad, by moves to enforce protected asylums and no-fly zones in Syria. In Tehran and Moscow, the Gaza offensive was not perceived as a lone Israeli operation but rather as the ground-breaker for a broader offensive by the US, Turkey and Qatar and the product of their combined intelligence brains rather than of military war planners. ...
The week ahead holds three major events, DEBKAFILE's military sources report. 1. Iran is not expected to let its Gaza debacle go by without response - probably by some act of military or terrorist violence. ... 2. A fresh war escalation is on the cards in Syria in response to the deployment of US-manned Patriots and AWACs on Turkey's border with Syria. Syria may decide to vent its ire against Israel. 3. Egypt's pro-democracy, liberal and anti-Muslim Brotherhood forces are arrayed for a major battle against President Mohamed Morsi for his assumption of extraordinary powers. ...

Russian warships in position opposite Israel
DEBKAFILE - November 23, 2012 The Black Sea Fleet's naval task force, including the missile cruiser Moskva, the destroyer Smetlivy, the large landing ships Novocherkassk and Saratov, the tugboat MB-304 and the large oil tanker Ivan Bubnov, have received an order to remain in a designated area in the eastern Mediterranean ready to evacuate Russian citizens from the Gaza Strip should the Palestinian-Israeli conflict worsen. This statement was issued Friday, Nov. 23, by a source in the Russian Navy's Mai Command. debkafile's military sources: The Russian statement is in effect a cover story for the naval task force's real mission, which is to stand by for coming developments in relation to the Syrian conflict. Moscow used the pretext first offered by Washington last week for the stationing of three US warships led by the USS Iwo Jima amphibious ready group opposite Israeli shores last week, i.e. as a precautionary measure for the evacuation of US citizens in a war emergency. The Iwo Jima was meanwhile to be found Friday in waters opposite Syria.

NATO Allied Land Command HQ moves to Turkey - Erdogan continues with anti-Israeli Tirades

NATO Allied Land Command activating next week in Turkey
Stars and Stripes - By John Vandiver - November 23, 2012 [...] Following an activation ceremony on Friday in Izmir, Allied Land Command headquarters will formally assume the responsibilities of Force Command Heidelberg, Germany, and Force Command Madrid, Spain, which are being deactivated as part of NATO's transformation. A similar merger of Air Command headquarters formerly in Turkey with one in Germany is taking place at Ramstein Air Base. ... The transformation of NATO's Land Command is just one part of a 2011 NATO decision designed to streamline the alliance's overall command structure. Once fully implemented, it will result in a 30 percent reduction in manpower, taking Allied Command Operations from 13,000 personnel to about 8,800, according to NATO. The new Land Command will have about 350 people, down from roughly 800, Hodges said. Establishing the headquarters in Turkey - home to NATO's second largest military, makes good strategic sense, Hodges said. "Turkey's location from a geographic standpoint - adjacent to the Middle East, nearly adjacent to Russia - it's an important location," Hodges said. "It sends a signal not only to Turkey and the rest of the alliance. It sends a signal to the other neighbors."

U.S. Criticizes Erdogan After His Latest Anti-Israel Remarks
ARUTZ SHEVA (Israeli National News) - By Elad Benari - November 21, 2012 The United States criticized Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday, after he once again chose to attack Israel over its counter-terrorist operation in Gaza. ... "Israel is committing ethnic cleansing by ignoring peace in this region and violating international law," Erdogan said, according to AFP. "It is occupying the Palestinian territory step by step." He further claimed that Israeli air raids against Gaza could not be deemed self-defense, accusing Western countries of aiding what he called a "terrorist state" by condoning its violence in the Middle East. "Sooner or later, Israel will answer for the innocent blood it has shed so far," he said. Erdogan also said that Turkey, Egypt and the Gulf countries, particularly Qatar and Saudi Arabia, had to take their own initiative, accusing the United Nations Security Council of doing nothing to save Gazans. ... The United States in turn criticized Erdogan's harsh words, AFP reported. "Some of the extremely harsh rhetoric coming from Turkey we do not consider helpful at all," said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, according to the report. ...

The oracle concerning Egypt
Morsi: Statesman abroad, 'pharaoh' at home?
| FRANCE 24 [French Government via l'Audiovisuel ext�rieur de la France (AEF)] - November 23, 2012 A 'new pharaoh' rises from Mubarak's ashes [...] In a presidential decree announced on state television Thursday afternoon, Morsi stipulated that any challenges to his decrees, laws and decisions were banned. "The president can issue any decision or measure to protect the revolution," said the decree, which further stipulated that, "The constitutional declarations, decisions and laws issued by the president are final and not subject to appeal." The decree also stated that no court could dissolve the country's Constituent Assembly, which is drawing up a new Egyptian constitution. The rewriting of the new constitution has been a controversial issue, with most non-Islamist members quitting the Constituent Assembly - including representatives of the Coptic Christian Church and the April 6 Youth Movement, which played an influential role in the 2011 ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak. Reacting to the announcement, prominent Egyptian opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei accused Morsi of usurping authority and becoming a "new pharaoh". On the microblogging Twitter site, criticism was swift: "It's going to be difficult for #Egypt to convince the world that it is on a new path when its president assumes almost unlimited power," tweeted Angus Blair, president of Signet Institute, a Cairo-based think tank. "Dear US media: You asked who won Gaza-Israel war? The bearded angel of diplomacy Morsi did," tweeted Firas Al-Atraqchi, a journalism professor at the American University in Cairo. ... Israel's police and puppet on Gaza The morning after the Israel-Hamas ceasefire came into effect, the top leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood denounced the peace efforts with Israel and called for a jihad to liberate the Palestinian territories. "The enemy knows nothing but the language of force,'' said the Brotherhood's Mohammed Badie. "Be aware of the game of grand deception with which they depict peace accords,'' he said in a statement posted on the group's website. Morsi may have succeeded in taping a sticking plaster over the latest Israeli-Palestinian spat. But in the long run, he faces the same problems that earned Mubarak his reputation as a "US and Israeli puppet". ...

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood Calls for Jihad to 'Free PA'
ARUTZ SHEVA (Israeli National News) - By Chana Ya'ar - November 23, 2012 Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood is calling for a jihad ("holy war") to liberate the Palestinian Authority areas. "Jihad is obligatory" for Muslims, top Islamic cleric Mohammed Badei said, adding that peace deals with Israel are a "game of grand deception". Badei added that there have been enough negotiations and that the "enemy knows nothing but the language of force." The Muslim Brotherhood and its members - of which Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi is one - do not recognize and refuse to hold direct talks with the State of Israel. The call came just one day after the Brotherhood's former presidential candidate, who won the national election in June, sealed a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza's ruling Hamas terrorist organization. ...

Hamas Interior Minister Boasts of Using Elderly and Children as Human Shields
| FRONTPAGE MAGAZINE - By Daniel Greenfield - November 18, 2012 This clip from Fathi Hamad, the Hamas Interior Minister in Gaza, is a few years old, but all too relevant in this current conflict, as he boasts of Hamas' willingness and even eagerness to use children and the elderly as human shields.
 | Hamas - Human Shield Confession |
"For the Palestinian people, death has become an industry, at which women excel, and so do all the people living on this land. The elderly excel at this, and so do the mujahideen and the children. This is why they have formed human shields of the women, the children, the elderly, and the mujahideen, in order to challenge the Zionist bombing machine. It is as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: 'We desire death like you desire life.'"
The phrase "Industry of Death" is all too accurate and is an admission of the tactics of Hamas and Fatah. That is what we are seeing on the ground in Gaza.
Human shields does not just refer to a policy of using civilians as cover in firefights, but to deliberately planting civilians, including children, in locations likely to be targeted in order to manufacture atrocities. We will be seeing more and more of that as this conflict progresses.

Israel vs Hamas: Deadly Theater | LAND DESTROYER REPORT - By Tony Cartalucci - November 16, 2012 The Western allied, funded, armed, and directed sectarian extremist organizations, namely Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, and their subsidiaries of Hamas and the so-called "Free Syrian Army," were created and to this day are backed specifically to counter real opposition to Western designs of hegemony across the Muslim World. ...
While Israel conducts combat operations against Hamas in Gaza, they are supporting their affiliates in Syria just across the border upon the Golan Heights, and across greater Syria in coordination with the US, France, England, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
While US representatives frequently meet in Doha, Qatar to support and continue propping up the political front serving as cover for Western, Saudi, and Qatari backed terrorists in Syria, Qatar's unelected leader-for-life, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, has slinked in and out of Gaza to pour 250 million dollars into Hamas just before the latest Israeli-Hamas violence broke out.
It is documented that since 2007 the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia have been colluding to arm and unleash sectarian extremists, both Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood, against their collective enemies across the region. With the West using Qatar as a base of operations, not only to continuously prop up the so-called "Syrian National Council," but to base the corporate-funded Brookings Institution think-tank's Doha Center, are we to believe that Qatar is not-so-secretly trying to destroy Israel right under America's nose? Without condemnation or protest from the US or any of its co-conspirators?
As difficult as it is to believe, the current government in Israel is purposefully placing the lives of its citizens and soldiers in harm's way to execute an orchestrated geopolitical stunt - aimed at capturing the sort of popular support Hezbollah had gained in defending Lebanon in 2006. Unlike in 2006, where Hezbollah was backed by, according to Western sources, Syria and Iran, today, Hamas is, as it always has been, supported by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, with Israel and the US playing a more covert role of funding, infiltrating, directing and manipulating the organization.
Israel Created Hamas - West Uses Extremists as Plot Devices
," that: "Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel's creation," says Mr. Cohen, a Tunisian-born Jew who worked in Gaza for more than two decades. Responsible for religious affairs in the region until 1994, Mr. Cohen watched the Islamist movement take shape, muscle aside secular Palestinian rivals and then morph into what is today Hamas, a militant group that is sworn to Israel's destruction. ...

The Qatar Connection
U.S. State Department Strengthens Hamas |
GATESTONE INSTITUTE - By Khaled Abu Toameh - October 25, 2012
[...] Many Palestinians, especially the Palestinian Authority leadership in the West Bank, do not share the U.S. Administration's position regarding the emir's visit. Palestinian Authority leaders do not see the visit as a "humanitarian mission," but as an attempt to strengthen Hamas. True, the emir promised to invest $400 million in various projects in the Gaza Strip. It remains to be seen if the Qatari ruler will fulfill his promise. ... Qatar has always been supportive not only of Hamas, but Muslim Brotherhood and many jihadi organizations. If Qatar really had "deep concern for the welfare of the Palestinian people," where was the emir during the past seven years? ...
"Were it not for the Egyptian revolution and President Mohamed Morsi," the emir said, "the visit would not have taken place." The emir came to the Gaza Strip to offer not only financial aid to Hamas, but also moral and political backing. The visit, the first of its kind by a head of state to the Gaza Strip since Hamas seized control over the area in 2007, was aimed at helping the Islamist movement break the state of isolation in which it has been since then. The emir did not come to the Gaza Strip to try to persuade Hamas to abandon terror and recognize Israel's right to exist. Nor did he come to the Gaza Strip to tell Hamas to endorse democracy and stop its oppressive measures against Palestinians, particularly women. The emir's visit is a huge diplomatic victory for Hamas and a severe blow to moderate Palestinians and the Palestinian Authority. ... The emir's visit also means that the Gaza Strip has become a separate Palestinian entity that has no link to the West Bank's Palestinian Authority, and which is capable of conducting its running its own economy and foreign policy.
The visit has actually solidified the split between the West Bank and Gaza Strip, turning Abbas's effort to establish an independent Palestinian state on the pre-1967 lines into a fantasy; if he tried to establish a Palestinian state on the West Bank alone, would be accused of "abandoning" the dream of creating a full, united, Palestinian state, and of dividing Palestine into two states. Finally, the emir's visit to the Gaza Strip also serves Qatar's wish of becoming a major player in the region as well as in the Israeli-Arab conflict. Syria, Iran and Egypt, countries which once used to have enormous influence over Hamas, have been pushed aside by Qatar's ruler and his promise of big checks.

Israel halts war games to deploy troops, resources in escalating Gaza sectorRising Hamas aggression tied to the visit of Qatari Sheikh to Gaza
DEBKAFILE - October 24, 2012 Defense minister Ehud Barak and Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz decided Wednesday, Oct. 24, that the heavy Palestinian missile assault from the Gaza Strip ... must be stopped. The bulk of the personnel taking part in the joint Israeli-US war game Austere Challenge ... were ordered to pull out, together with anti-missile interceptors and other resources, and redeploy in southern Israel across from the Gaza Strip. ... Our sources report that officials in Washington and Jerusalem are in tense discussions over what to do with the 1,000 US troops, the American Patriots and the US warship standing by with an Aegis anti-missile battery, assigned to the three-week joint exercise which started Sunday. ... President Shimon Peres was the first statesman to connect the rising Hamas aggression to the visit of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani of Qatar in Gaza City Tuesday with a fat check for "development constructon". No sooner had he departed, than the Islamist group ruling Gaza let loose with salvoes of rockets against Israel. ... The Qatari ruler's motives in his visit were not exactly constructive, DEBKAfile reported on Oct. 22. He came to extend the regional ambitions which found expression in his intervention in the Libyan revolt and the Syrian conflict. Now, he is bidding to shore Hamas up as a force for reining in Salafi and al Qaeda lawlessness in Sinai before it cuts into Qatari influence in Libya. Israel may find itself not only up against Islamist terrorists but their Qatari sponsor too. Our military sources predicted then that his visit would encourage Hamas to flex its muscles against Israel to impress its new patron. ...

On the other hand: Iran: Qatari King Helped Israel Target Hamas Men
ARUTZ SHEVA (Israeli National News) - By Gil Ronen - November 18, 2012 Iranian news agencies claimed Saturday that Qatar's King Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani served Israeli intelligence during his recent visit to Gaza by planting transmitters on senior Hamas members. According to a report published by the semi-official Fars news agency and quoted by the official Press TV, the emir of Qatar "distributed a number of watches and ballpoint pens among Hamas leaders, which could transmit low-frequency signals to Israeli satellites." "The Israeli military officials would then use the received signals to spot the high-ranking Hamas fighters, and launch assassination strikes on them." Sheikh Hamad arrived in Gaza on October 23 to become the first head of state to visit the besieged enclave since Hamas seized power in the territory five years ago. Press TV noted the assassinations of Ahmed Jaabari, head of the Hamas's Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades, and Ahmed Abu Jalal, a field commander of the Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades.

Trojan Horses Obama and Rice: Strengthening al Qaeda and lying to America
Republican Senators boiling after meeting with Rice
| SHOEBAT.com > Walid Shoebat/Shoebat Foundation - By Ben Barrack - November 28, 2012 Regular readers know that we've been more than just a little critical of Republican Senators like John McCain and Lindsey Graham when it came to how best to deal with the situations in Libya, Syria, et. al. but in this particular case, they're right to keep up the pressure on U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice. When McCain, Graham, and Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) were scheduled to meet with Rice, many expected the political assuaging of tensions behind closed doors; it's become quite commonplace. It appears the exact opposite happened as all three Republican Senators expressed even more concern over the demonstrably false talking points issued by Rice on five separate Sunday talk shows on September 16th. Check out these three short videos of each Senator shortly after they came out of their meeting with Rice. ...

Kucinich: US 'Immeasurably' Closer to War in Syria
|
Democratic congressman: Obama deployed troops 'without notifying Congress'
U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT [NY Daily News/Mortimer Zuckerman] - By Steven Nelson - October 10, 2012
Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich believes the deployment of American troops in Jordan - which was announced Wednesday - brings the United States "immeasurably" closer to being dragged into the civil war in Syria. "I can see in a moment how it happens: we're a few dozen miles from the Syrian border and all of a sudden we are within the reach of physical danger. All it takes is a single incident," Kucinich said in a phone interview with U.S. News.
The Ohio congressman complained that the commander-in-chief sent the troops to Jordan "without notifying Congress." Ironically, Kucinich noted, the Obama administration announced the deployment exactly ten years after the House of Representatives authorized President George W. Bush to invade Iraq. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta disclosed on Wednesday that over 100 American troops had been sent to near the Jordanian border with Syria. ...
Kucinich, however, doesn't see the necessity of sending troops. "Putting U.S. troops on that border draws the U.S. much closer to war in Syria, which is a nightmare already and can be more of a nightmare for our country," he said. "The talk of stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons ... that's an argument for making an effort to try to lessen the violence, not intensify it." "There's a trail of causality here," Kucinich added. "Once you position U.S troops on the border of a conflict area, it immeasurably increases the possibility of the U.S. getting drawn into the conflict - because we're there."

Syria: UK troops also in Jordan, Western diplomatic sources
AGENZIA DI STAMPA ITALIANA MEDITERRANEAN (ANSAmed) [Not-for-profit co-op/National Wire service - Rome, Italy] - October 11, 2012
Several hundred British soldiers and military advisors are in Jordan to monitor the Syria situation, Western diplomatic sources said on Thursday. This follows on a statement by US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta at a meeting of NATO defense ministers yesterday that a US military task force is in place along the Jordan-Syria border to monitor Syrian chemical weapons and to help Jordan manage the war refugees pouring over the border. The task force consists of 150 personnel, according to the New York Times, while The Times of London reported on an undisclosed number of British troops. The troops have been in Jordan since participating in joint military maneuvers in the past months. They remained on concerns over Syria's chemical weapons arsenal, Jordanian military sources said, adding that French troops might also be in place. A close political and security Western ally, Jordan receives 500 million dollars in US military aid a year, and its intelligence services cooperate closely with those of the US.

NDAA Authorizes War Against Iran
HUFFINGTON POST [Huffington Post Media Group/AOL] - > The BLOG - By Rep. Dennis Kucinich, U.S. Representative from Ohio's 10th District - May 17, 2012
[...] two pieces of legislation relating to Iran. The first [H.Res.568] undermines a diplomatic solution with Iran and lowers the bar for war. The second [H.R. 4310] authorizes a war of choice against Iran and begins military preparations for it. ... This language represents a significant shift in U.S. policy ... At the same time, the language lowers the threshold for attacking Iran. Countries with nuclear weapons "capability" could include many other countries like Japan or Brazil. It is an unrealistic threshold. The Former Chief of Staff of Secretary of State Colin Powell has stated that this resolution "reads like the same sheet of music that got us into the Iraq war." H.R. 4310: Authorizing War Against Iran and Preparing the Military for it While H. Res. 568 undermines our diplomatic efforts and lowers the bar for war, H.R. 4310, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 begins military preparations for war. Section 1221 makes military action against Iran a U.S. policy. Section 1222 directs our armed forces to prepare for war. ... A plain reading of these provisions in H.R. 4310 taken together with H.R. 568 makes it clear: Congress is setting the stage for war with Iran. ...

Ron Paul Statement on H Res 568 Regarding Iran
CONGRESSMAN RON PAUL, 14th District of Texas
From the House Floor, US House of Representatives, May 17, 2012
Congressman Ron Paul
Mr. Speaker: I strongly oppose H Res 568, a resolution "expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the importance of preventing the Government of Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability." ... The most dangerous aspect of H. Res. 568 is that it dramatically lowers the threshold for conflict with Iran by replacing the prohibition against acquiring nuclear weapons to a prohibition against a "capability" to develop nuclear weapons. However, as former senior Bush administration official, Flynt Leverett, has stated:
Iranian efforts to develop a "nuclear weapons capability"...may make American and Israeli elites uncomfortable. But it is not a violation of the NPT....While the NPT prohibits non-nuclear-weapon states from building atomic bombs, developing a nuclear weapons capability is, [allowed] under the NPT... It is certainly not a justification-strategically, legally, or morally-for armed aggression against Iran.
But this resolution states that the House "rejects any United States policy that would rely on efforts to contain a nuclear weapons-capable Iran." That makes it very clear that the intent of the House is to authorize force against Iran not if it acquires a nuclear weapon, but if it has a "capability" to acquire them some time in the future. The term "capability" is left undefined, of course, leaving it open to very broad interpretations by this and future administrations. Mr. Speaker this is incredibly dangerous legislation. I urge my colleagues in the strongest manner to reject this stealth authorization for war on Iran.

Israeli EMP Attack Could Throw Iran 'Back to Stone Age'
| ARUTZ SHEVA (Israeli National News) - By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu - September 9, 2012 Israel might attack Iran by using electromagnetic pulses (EMP) that could cripple the country by shutting down its electronics and sending the Islamic Republic "back to the Stone Age," The London Sunday Times reported. EMP causes non-lethal gamma energy to react with the magnetic field and produces a powerful electromagnetic shock wave that can destroy electronic devices, especially those used in Iran's nuclear plants.
The shock wave would knock out Iran's power grid and communications systems for transport and financial services, leading to economic collapse. The "back to the Stone Age" tactic was first proposed in an Arutz Sheva (Israel National News) article in early August by Dr. Joe Tuzara, after another Arutz Sheva oped writer, attorney Mark Langfan described its power in an earlier article. A former clinical research-physician-general surgeon for Saudi Arabian, Philippine and American healthcare systems, he wrote, "The wild card is in Israel's hand - with Electronic Magnetic Pulse (EMP) inscribed on it. If Israel chooses one of its Jericho III missiles to detonate a single EMP warhead at high altitude over north central Iran, there will be with no blast or radiation effects on the ground."
He explained that one effect of the EMP attack would be that, "Iran's uranium enrichment centrifuges in Fordo, Natanz and widely scattered elsewhere, would freeze for decades." The WorldNetDaily reported three weeks ago, "Israelis have not ruled out a Jericho III missile launch to detonate a single electromagnetic pulse warhead at high altitude over central Iran."
The Sunday Times report quoted Bill Gertz, editor of the Washington Free Beacon, said that the United States expressed concern about using a high-altitude nuclear bomb to set off the an EMP attack. Amid constant reports of Israel's preparing to take direct action to stop or at least halt Iran's presumed race to manufacture a nuclear warhead aimed at Israel, Canada increased diplomatic pressure on Iran Friday by announcing it is closing its embassy in Tehran.
It called the Islamic regimen "the greatest threat to security and peace in the world." Foreign Minister John Baird said that "the Iranian regime refuses to fall in line with UN demands regarding Iran's nuclear program, and making repeated threats to Israel's existence."

Vatican's twisted priorities
Op-ed: instead of focusing on decline of Arab Christianity, Catholic Church chooses to demonize Israel |
YEDIOTH AHRONOTH [Yedioth Ahronoth Group - Private] - By Giulio Meotti - March 16, 2012
In a special interview with Die Tagespost last week, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Fouad Twal, named by Pope Benedict to represent the Vatican in the Jewish State, declared that "Israel's existence as such has nothing to do with the Bible." He then compared Christians' condition in today's Jerusalem with Jesus' Passion: "We Christians never forget that even our Lord himself suffered and was mocked in Jerusalem." Twal's position on Israel and the Bible has been embraced at the highest levels in the Catholic Church. The Vatican synod in 2010 declared that Israel cannot use the Biblical concept of a promised land or a chosen people. "We Christians cannot speak about the Promised Land for the Jewish people", the synod's document said. "There is no longer a chosen people. The concept of the promised land cannot be used as a base for the justification of the return of Jews to Israel and the displacement of Palestinians." ...
