B enjamin Netanyahu está en una misión. Durante los próximos meses, el primer ministro israelí nuevo tiene como objetivo convencer a los líderes mundiales del inminente peligro que representa Irán para la civilización occidental. Poco antes de que prestó juramento el 31 de marzo, Netanyahu dijo el Atlántico que, además de fijar la economía, principal imperativo de Washington del otro debe ser el de impedir que Irán obtenga armas nucleares.

"Usted no quiere un culto mesiánico apocalíptico control de bombas atómicas", dijo Netanyahu de la teocracia islamista.

En caso de que la administración Obama no impedir que Irán, dijo Netanyahu, Israel podría verse obligado a la huelga preventiva de la República Islámica.

Ya que la Biblia afirma que Europa no Israel o Estados Unidos-en última instancia, romper el Irán encabezada por el "rey del sur" (Daniel 11:40), en cierto modo, de línea dura de Israel contra las amenazas de Teherán podrían distraernos de otros, lejos más eventos consecuentes, proféticamente hablando.

La Biblia dice que el choque espectacular entre la Comunidad Europea de "rey del norte" y el Islam radical sobre todo girará en torno a Jerusalén. Es la división de Jerusalén, no es la búsqueda de Irán a la energía nuclear, que desencadenará la guerra en todo el mundo que viene.

El inevitable choque

"He aquí el día de Jehová viene," escribió Zacarías, en una profecía para el tiempo final. "Porque yo reuniré todas las naciones para combatir contra Jerusalén y la ciudad se tendrán, y casas saqueadas, y violadas las mujeres; y la mitad de la ciudad irá en cautiverio, y el resto del pueblo no será cortado fuera de la ciudad "(Zacarías 14:1-2).

En la visión, el profeta comienza con la segunda venida de Jesucristo y, a continuación las obras de su camino de regreso a describir los acontecimientos que preceden inmediatamente a la aparición del Mesías en la Tierra. Antes de todas las naciones se reúnen para luchar en contra de Cristo a su retorno, Jerusalén "se tomarán" es conquistada por el conglomerado europeo. Este evento, que marca el comienzo de lo que la Biblia llama la Gran Tribulación, se produce poco después de un ataque torbellino de Europa contra el Islam radical.

Poco antes de que entren en conflicto entre los reyes del norte y el sur, Zacarías dice que la mitad de Jerusalén "irá en cautiverio", indicando la ciudad se dividirá por algún tipo de lucha violenta. ¿Qué indica esta profecía es que un palestino dominado por Hamas-insurgencia, respaldado por Irán, se llevará la mitad de la ciudad de Jerusalén en cautividad.

El choque-islamista israelí sobre Jerusalén es lo que tenemos que estar viendo la televisión de la próxima.

Durante la última década, a veces parecía como si Israel estarían dispuestos a renunciar a Jerusalén Este en la mesa de negociación. En diciembre de 2005, una encuesta publicada por Yedioth Ahronoth encontró que aproximadamente la mitad de los israelíes apoyaban la idea de renunciar a partes de este árabe de Jerusalén si ayudaría a consolidar un acuerdo de paz con los palestinos.

Incluso antes de convertirse en primer ministro, Ehud Olmert dijo que Israel algún día tendría que renunciar a su sueño de una eterna Jerusalén unida bajo la soberanía judía. Después de un mes en el cargo, uno de Olmert, Kadima colegas le dijo a la AP que el gobierno de Olmert, fue la elaboración de un plan para dividir Jerusalén.

Compare eso con que de repente nos encontramos hoy. ¡Qué diferencia hace tres años, como Pierre Atlas escribió 27 de marzo en el Real Política claro, contrastando nuevo gobierno de Israel, Ehud Olmert. Atlas señaló que en 2006, la mayoría de los israelíes apoya la retirada unilateral de Gaza y gran parte de la Knesset favorecida retirarse de partes de Cisjordania. En ese momento, el partido Likud-derecha, que se opuso a la retirada unilateral, la mayoría de los sufridos como consecuencia del electorado de estado de ánimo. Perdió 26 de sus 38 escaños en la elecciones parlamentarias de 2006.

"Nadie podía imaginar entonces que, tres años después", escribió Atlas, "sería Netanyahu formar el próximo gobierno israelí".

En realidad, poco antes de las elecciones de 2006, como nuestros lectores saben, nuestro editor en jefe mencionado en su semanario Clave del programa de televisión David, Benjamin Netanyahu, que probablemente regresaría al poder en Israel como consecuencia de la profecía de Zacarías 14:2. Él dijo que la mitad de Jerusalén "va a ser tomado por la fuerza, y tiene que darse cuenta de que. Ahora, que también podría indicar que el Likud, o el partido conservador, se pondrá en el poder "(6 de enero, 2006).

Con una coalición de extrema derecha actualmente en el poder en Israel, que nos trae un salto gigante profética más cerca del inevitable choque sobre Jerusalén.

La lucha por la Ciudad de David

En marcado contraste con su antecesor, Benjamín Netanyahu, hizo campaña para el primer ministro en mantener Jerusalén unida. En una parada de campaña en el Hotel Regency en el monte. Scopus, Netanyahu dijo: "Si dejamos la mitad de Jerusalén, habría un derecho de la base iraní cerca de este hotel."

Internacional desprecio por esta postura de línea más dura ha sido intensa. A principios de marzo, por ejemplo, Israel se vio azotada por su propuesta para ampliar un parque arqueológico en la Ciudad de David, que necesita el derrumbe de decenas de casas palestinas que se han construido ilegalmente en ese país durante los últimos 20 años. Y ello a pesar del hecho de que, según el plan, no sólo Jerusalén Oriental tierras baldías se convertirán en hermosos jardines y parques, pero los residentes ilegales también se daría una compensación generosa paquetes, que incluyen los terrenos de reubicación.

Durante su visita de marzo a la región, EE.UU. La secretaria de Estado Hillary Clinton dijo que cualquier plan que pide la demolición de viviendas palestinas no ayudaría al proceso de paz.

Nir Barkat, nuevo alcalde de Jerusalén, criticó a Clinton por haber sido engañados por la propaganda palestina. La Autoridad Palestina acusó a Israel de "limpieza étnica" en Jerusalén oriental a fin de "judaizar" la ciudad.

La Unión Europea también ha criticado duramente a Israel. Según un informe de la UE confidencial que se filtró a los medios de comunicación en marzo, funcionarios de la UE han acusado a Israel de "activamente la anexión ilegal" de Jerusalén Este (el subrayado es nuestro).

Benjamin Netanyahu gobierno se ha comprometido a seguir adelante con este plan de desarrollo de varios años, incluso como críticos fustigar al gobierno por lo que es más difícil de dividir Jerusalén como parte de cualquier solución de dos-estado. Un funcionario de la oficina de Netanyahu, que defendió la posición del gobierno dijeron al Times de Londres, "Jerusalén es la capital eterna del pueblo judío de unos 3.000 años y seguirá siendo la capital unida del Estado de Israel".

El alcalde Barkat, al igual que el primer ministro Netanyahu, apoya el mantenimiento de Jerusalén unida. Bajo la dirección de Barkat, autoridades de Jerusalén ha enviado avisos de desalojo a 90 familias en el este de Jerusalén, cerca de la Ciudad Vieja, advirtiendo que debido a que sus casas habían sido construidas sin la aprobación del consejo adecuado, que sería demolida.

En una entrevista con el Jerusalem Post, Barkat defendió los planes de la municipalidad de la ciudad, diciendo: "Me gustaría ver lo que [alcalde de Nueva York Michael] Bloomberg diría ilegal la construcción de alrededor de Central Park. ¿Podría renunciar a Central Park ya que es ilegal construir allí? "

La batalla por la Ciudad de David, ubicado en el barrio árabe de Silwan, es un microcosmos de una lucha mayor que pronto se empuje a toda la ciudad de Jerusalén, en un caldero hirviendo de odio y violencia.

Convertirse en una zona de guerra

La tensión entre los palestinos y Judios aumentado considerablemente después de la guerra de Gaza en enero. Se intensificó aún más después de las elecciones del primer ministro Netanyahu y el alcalde Barkat. Muchos judíos movimientos del ala derecha, fortalecido por el nuevo gobierno de la negativa del a ceder a la ambición de Palestina, están experimentando un renacimiento.

Esto no quiere decir que la causa palestina se está sacudiendo. De hecho, también está ganando fuerza, gracias al aumento e indirectos apoyo directo de la comunidad internacional-especialmente la de la administración estadounidense de Barack Obama.

Jerusalén, especialmente Jerusalén oriental, rápidamente se convierta en una zona de guerra!

Considere la posibilidad de un acontecimientos recientes algunos. El 2 de abril, en la Ribera Occidental ciudad de Bat Ayin, cerca de Jerusalén, un palestino blandiendo un pico cortado un año de edad, hijo de Israel-13 a la muerte e hirieron a su años de edad, amigo 7. Los grupos terroristas islámicos Yihad Islámica y el Grupo de Imad Mughniyeh reivindicó el asesinato, la advertencia ominosa que se trataba de una respuesta natural "a los crímenes de la ocupación".

El mismo día, en alrededor de 2 horas, en el barrio musulmán de la Ciudad Vieja de Jerusalén, siete colonos judíos irrumpieron en la casa de Nasser Jaber, un hombre de negocios palestino que se había mudado de la casa mientras se estaban realizando renovaciones. Reivindicación de su propiedad la casa, los colonos sustituido las cerraduras y se apoderaron de la casa.

En abril, un palestino de conducir un automóvil trató de atropellar a los agentes de policía israelí. La policía, que estaban monitoreando la demolición de la casa de Jerusalén del terrorista palestino que mató a tres israelíes en un alboroto excavadora en julio pasado, le disparó al hombre muerto. Después, una pelea estalló entre los policías y decenas de palestinos furiosos que simpatizaban con el conductor del vehículo y el terrorista cuya casa estaba siendo demolido.

Al día siguiente, un portavoz militar de ala de Hamas emitió un electrizante respuesta profética a los esfuerzos de Israel a defenderse de intrusiones ilegales árabes. El funcionario de Hamas Abu Ubayda ", amenazó a Israel de una" explosión "si se sigue consolidando el control de Jerusalén," informó la Agencia de Noticias Ma'an el. Ubayda también advirtió que "la judaización de Jerusalén y la amenaza de la icónica-Aqsa de Al podría provocar represalias."

empedradas calles de Jerusalén son ruidos, la tensión va en aumento, la guerra se está gestando. Esto da que pensar. Pero también es increíblemente emocionante.

Esta intensificación del conflicto tendrá como resultado la división profetizado de Jerusalén, que es el gatillo que desató una secuencia rápida del fuego de los acontecimientos que culminaron en el regreso del Mesías al Monte de los Olivos en Jerusalén (Zacarías 14:4).

"Cuando la mitad de Jerusalén cae", editor en jefe Aluvión Gerald escribió en marzo de 2006, "se inicia una reacción en cadena de los acontecimientos-una avalancha de crisis-que conduce directamente a la Segunda Venida de Cristo!" Por esta razón, incluso durante económico, político , sociales y personales calamidad, no debemos tener nuestros ojos de Jerusalén.

Eventos en esa ciudad son la medida de lo cerca que estamos del evento más impresionante de la historia humana!

Lógicamente, se centran ahora la derecha de Jesús es garantizar Jerusalén, Su pista de aterrizaje, está listo para su regreso. De una manera espectacular, las condiciones en Jerusalén-político de hoy, demográfica, económica, incluso arqueológicamente están alineando así como Cristo se describe en la Biblia hace 2.000 años el!

Tenemos que ver Jerusalén más cerca que nunca. Incluso ahora, los acontecimientos en esa ciudad indican que devolver el Mesías es inminente, y que el tiempo se acerca rápidamente cuando él va a transformar a Jerusalén en exactamente lo que su nombre significa: una ciudad de la paz!

en él es el mejor estupidez - Por Bowen het

Este es un tema altamente discutible respecto a las personas de mantenimiento de animales como mascotas en sus hogares y sólo voy a estado unos pocos hechos acerca de estos animales. Los chimpancés entran en la misma categoría muy de leones, tigres y osos. Son todos muy independientemente de cuánto tiempo han estado con un propietario. Si ese monstruo sido encerrados en una jaula apropiada a continuación, propietario amigo, el no tendría ninguna necesidad de obtener un trasplante de cara. Si esa mujer vive su vida siempre se verá alterada por todos sus días restantes. Este mono fue de 200 libras. Ellos tienen una fuerza sobrehumana. ¿Cómo se puede luchar con semejante animal?

Animales como este no tienen absolutamente nada que hacer les permite vivir con los seres humanos bajo mínimos de seguridad y libre de herir o matar a otro ser humano. Un niño no habría tenido ninguna oportunidad. Son salvajes sin importar cuánto tiempo han estado con su dueño. Películas como Bambi y Winnie the Pooh debe prohibir por ley. Yo no podría decir cuántas personas mueren cada año a partir de la idea de que estos animales tienen las relaciones padre e hijo, como un ciervo, como en Bambi. ciervos compañero Buck todos los años y al igual que un hombre apesadumbrado va sobre su negocio con el más mínimo pensamiento acerca de la primavera frente. Odio a Disney tales fantasías Tierra. Los animales no el puerto de culpa. Todos ellos actúan por instinto, sobre todo cuando se trata de matar con la intención de comer usted o frightned o por cualquier razón.

Leones y tigres lo mismo. El propietario de ese chimpancé demonio debe ser plenamente responsable de esta cosa terrible que le pasó a su vecino. Es evidente que el propietario no tenía ni un arma de fuego para matar, incluso el mono. La policía tuvo que hacerlo después de que se los llevó en alguna parte alrededor de 12 minutos para responder a la escena? Para entonces las manos a las víctimas y la cara hecha jirones. No importa la cantidad de sangre y gore ... hace un animal. Estás tan muerto.

Ir a youtube y ver algunos de estos llamados "mascotas" mata propietario, ... ... etc. Ellos son salvajes y años de ver que esto suceda la gente simplemente no lo entiendo. ¿Cree usted que un sonajero mascota serpiente tendría hesistation a morder la cabeza de un hueso con mayor rapidez que si se fue abordado en la naturaleza. No lo creo. Si lo que tiene que tener una mascota exótica a continuación, salir a su patio y atrapar a un lagarto y lo alimentan las moscas o grillos.

La gente que capturar y mantener a las serpientes en su casa están poseídos. Fin de eso. La gente simplemente seguir siendo estúpido ... .. oye ya?

Chimpancé mascota es asesinado después de Mauling Mujer (17 de febrero de 2009)

"Mientras que permanece en condición crítica pero estable, sus signos vitales están mejorando", dijo Kevin Miller, un cirujano de cabecera en el Hospital de Stamford, dijo el doctor en una conferencia de prensa. "Estamos agradecidos de que estamos en condiciones de informar que Charla Nash ha hecho pequeño, pero un buen progreso."

El Sr. Orstad dijo que Nash familia de la Sra. estaba celebrando consultas con sus médicos sobre qué medidas tomar a continuación. Una opción podría ser un trasplante de cara, pero él dice que la decisión no se había hecho.

"No sé si han ido a ese nivel", dijo. "Los doctores aún están determinando si que pueden ser necesarias. Ese rumor es aún especie de prematuro. La decisión final no se haya hecho todavía. "

En la línea de fuego - Informe de inteligencia

Hay muy pocas posibilidades de que el gobierno mexicano será capaz de establecer la integridad de las fuerzas del orden, o llevar la ley y el orden en grandes porciones del país, en el corto plazo. La corrupción oficial y la ineptitud son endémicas en México, lo que significa que los ciudadanos mexicanos y extranjeros que visitan deberá hacer frente a la amenaza de secuestro en el futuro previsible. Creemos que para los civiles y los visitantes extranjeros, la amenaza de secuestro supera la amenaza de ser golpeado por una bala perdida de un tiroteo cartel. De hecho, las cosas se están deteriorando tan mal que incluso los negociadores de secuestros profesionales , una vez visto como la clave para un pago garantizado, ahora están siendo ellos mismos secuestrados. En un giro aún más increíble de la ironía, las autoridades antisecuestro son secuestrados y ejecutados.

Este entorno - y las preocupaciones que ha suscitado - ha proporcionado grandes oportunidades económicas para la industria de seguridad privada en México. las ventas de coches blindados se han ido por las nubes, al igual que el número de guardias uniformados y personal de protección ejecutiva. De hecho, la demanda de personal es tan aguda que las empresas de seguridad están luchando para encontrar candidatos. Esta lucha se presenta una serie de problemas obvios, que van desde la falta de cualificaciones al estudio de los insuficientes. Además de moda los servicios de seguridad de vida, seguridad de las tecnologías nuevas empresas-también en el cambio de cheques en el medio ambiente de miedo, pero incluso tecnología de dispositivos de localización de altura pueden tener inconvenientes y deficiencias significativas .

and actually increases vulnerability. Para muchas personas, vehículos blindados y guardaespaldas armados pueden dar una falsa sensación de seguridad, y la tecnología pueden convertirse en mortales muleta que promueve la complacencia y, de hecho aumenta la vulnerabilidad. Las medidas físicas de seguridad no son suficientes. La presencia de guardaespaldas armados - o guardias armados combinados con vehículos blindados - no proporciona una seguridad absoluta. Esto es especialmente cierto en México, donde los equipos grandes de hombres armados periódicamente los crímenes se hayan empleado artefactos militares. Francamente, hay muy pocos detalles ejecutivo de la protección en el mundo que tienen el entrenamiento y armamento para resistir un asalto de decenas de atacantes armados con rifles de asalto y juegos de rol. Los guardias privados de seguridad son con frecuencia abrumados por mexicanos crimi nales y asesinados u obligados a huir por su propia seguridad. , countersurveillance and protective intelligence. Como señaló en mayo de 2008, tras el asesinato de Edgar Millán Gómez , en calidad de jefe de la Policía Federal de México y la clasificación más alta-policía federal en México, las medidas de seguridad física debe completarse con conocimiento de la situación , contravigilancia y la inteligencia de protección.

Los delincuentes buscan y aprovechan las vulnerabilidades. Sus posibilidades de éxito aumentan considerablemente si se les permite llevar a cabo la vigilancia a voluntad y se les da la oportunidad de evaluar a fondo el programa de seguridad de protección. Hemos visto varios casos en México en el que los delincuentes incluso decidió atacar a pesar de las medidas de seguridad. En tales casos, los delincuentes atacan con recursos suficientes para superar de seguridad existentes. Por ejemplo, si hay agentes de protección, los atacantes plan para neutralizar primero. Si hay un vehículo blindado, encontrarán la manera de derrotar a la armadura o agarrar el objetivo cuando él o ella es el exterior del vehículo. Debido a esto, los delincuentes no puedan llevar a cabo la vigilancia a voluntad.

Al igual que muchos crímenes, el secuestro es un proceso. Hay ciertos pasos que se deben tomar para llevar a cabo un secuestro y ciertos momentos durante el proceso cuando los ejecutarlo son vulnerables a la detección. Aunque estos pasos pueden ser condensados y realizado con bastante rapidez en un secuestro de expresar ad hoc, en realidad se siguieron. De hecho, debido a las medidas particulares que participan en la realización de un secuestro, el proceso no es diferente a seguir para ejecutar un ataque terrorista . Los pasos comunes son la selección de objetivos, planificación, despliegue, ataque, escape y la explotación.

Al igual que los autores de un atentado terrorista, a los que realizan un secuestro son los más vulnerables a la detección cuando se están llevando a cabo la vigilancia - antes de estar preparados para implementar y llevar a cabo su ataque. Como hemos observado varias veces en los análisis anteriores, uno de los secretos de la contravigilancia es que la mayoría de los criminales no son muy buenos para llevar a cabo la vigilancia. La razón principal de que tener éxito es que nadie los busca.

Por supuesto, los secuestradores también son muy evidentes una vez que lanzan su ataque, tire sus armas e incluso comienzan a disparar. Por este tiempo, sin embargo, podría muy bien ser demasiado tarde para escapar de su ataque. Se ha seleccionado el sitio de ataque y empleados de las fuerzas que creen que necesitan para completar la operación. Mientras que los secuestradores podrían meter la pata su funcionamiento y el objetivo pudo escapar ileso, simplemente no es práctico para fijar sus esperanzas en esa posibilidad. Supone una clara mejora de detectar los secuestradores temprana y evitar la trampa antes de que sea suspendida y los cañones salir.

Hemos visto muchos casos de personas en México cuentan con seguridad armada de haber sido secuestrado , y nosotros creemos que probablemente verán más casos de esto en los próximos meses. Esta tendencia se debe no sólo a la presencia de delincuentes armados y altamente agresivo y la baja calidad de algunos miembros del personal de seguridad, sino también a las personas que depositan su confianza únicamente en la seguridad física reactiva. Haciendo caso omiso del valor real de crítica, las medidas proactivas, tales como conocimiento de la situación, contravigilancia y la inteligencia de protección puede ser un error fatal.

El Vigía por Chet Bowen

Los precios del petróleo han sumergido - aunque brevemente - por debajo de 40 dólares EE.UU. por barril, una caída precipitada de sus máximos de más de 147 dólares EE.UU. por barril en julio. Así como los precios del petróleo altos reelaborado el orden económico internacional, los precios del petróleo bajos ahora están haciendo lo mismo. Esta aparición repentina de los precios bajos impactos del sistema internacional así como más graves, en máximos históricos recientes.

Pero antes de sumergirse en el corto plazo (es decir, hasta 12 meses) el impacto del medio ambiente nuevo precio, tenemos que afirmar nuestra posición en el debate del precio del petróleo. Durante mucho tiempo hemos quedado perplejos sobre el alza y su posterior desplazamiento de los mercados del petróleo desde 2005 hasta 2008. Ciertamente, la demanda global era fuerte, pero una variedad de factores tales como las cifras de producción y los inventarios de petróleo crudo cada vez parece argumentar en contra de mayores precios cada vez más. Algunos de nuestros amigos señaló el complejo mundo de los derivados y el comercio de futuros, que dijeron que había creado una demanda artificial. Eso puede haber sido cierto, pero la conclusión es que, con base en los fundamentos, los números del petróleo no hacen mucho sentido.

Las cosas se han aclarado mucho en los últimos tiempos. Ahora nos enfrentamos a un entorno en el que los Estados Unidos, Europa y Japón están en recesión, mientras que China es, al menos muy, esperando ver a su lento crecimiento en gran medida. La demanda de crudo en todo el mundo se está deslizando enormemente incluso como la Organización de Países Exportadores del Petróleo (OPEP) de los Estados miembros hasta el momento parecen incapaces (o, en el caso de Arabia Saudita, tal vez no quiere ) para hacer la profunda cortes necesarios en la producción que podría detener la caída de los precios. La conclusión es que, aunque el ritmo vertiginoso al que los precios se han derrumbado nos ha pillado un poco por sorpresa, la dirección y la profundidad de la penetración no es así.

Los precios probablemente se mantendrán bajos durante algún tiempo. La mayor parte de los instalaciones de almacenamiento y el mundo - como los EE.UU. la Reserva Estratégica de Petróleo - están llenas hasta el borde, las grandes cortes para que se precisan para evitar un exceso de oferta masiva. Sin embargo, los recortes de la OPEP - el cartel se reúne 17 de diciembre y se espera que cortes profundos - tomará meses para tener un impacto demostrable, sobre todo en un ambiente de recesión. Y no es la simple cuestión de escala. El mercado mundial de petróleo es una bestia: La demanda total en la actualidad es de aproximadamente 86 millones de barriles por día. Esto no es un mercado que puede convertirse en una moneda de diez centavos. Un hecho que la empresa va en contra de la sabiduría convencional es que el petróleo en realidad se queda muy rápido de lo que se eleva cuando los fundamentos están fuera de servicio. Esto ha ocurrido en múltiples ocasiones, y no hace tanto tiempo.

Las caídas se produjeron tanto en las secuelas de la Guerra del Golfo Pérsico 1990-1991 y como resultado de la crisis financiera de 1997-1998 de Asia que fueron similares en términos porcentuales a la caída de la actualidad. Hasta que el equilibrio entre la oferta y la demanda es restruck - algo que probablemente no hasta que una recuperación económica mundial va por buen camino - no hay razón para esperar una recuperación significativa de los precios. El viaje, por supuesto, no es necesariamente un viaje de ida uno. Quirks en todo, desde el tiempo del envío a los disturbios de Nigeria y los movimientos militares de Rusia pueden establecer precios girando, pero los fundamentos son claramente bajista. Es muy probable que tome varios meses para que las principales características de la nueva realidad que cambiar mucho.

Los bajos precios del petróleo crea ganadores y perdedores en la escena internacional. En primer lugar, los ganadores deberán enumerar las.

Con mucha diferencia, el mayor ganador de la reducción de los precios drásticamente es el mayor consumidor del mundo e importador de petróleo: los Estados Unidos. Los dos últimos años de precios altos han generado un esfuerzo de los consumidores estadounidenses sostenido para llegar a funcionar con menos aceite a través de una mezcla de la conservación y el cambio a vehículos más kilometraje . Si este patrón de compra de automóviles tiene una duración no es que se trata. El punto es que ya ha sucedido: Muchos estadounidenses ya han desplazado a más vehículos de mayor eficiencia de combustible. Al igual que la obsesión década de 1990 con los vehículos utilitarios deportivos artificialmente impulsado la demanda de gasolina estadounidense, siempre que dichas automóviles estaban en el camino, por lo que la nueva flota de coches híbridos y de inteligentes impulsará la demanda en sentido contrario durante un período prolongado.

En general el consumo de petróleo se ha desplomado EE.UU. en casi un 9 por ciento desde su pico en agosto 2007 a noviembre 2008, según el Departamento de Energía de EE.UU.. Combinando esto con la caída de los precios desde julio se traduce en un ahorro energético de EE.UU. de aproximadamente 1950 millones dólares EE.UU. a un precio de EE.UU. $ 50 por barril y los EE.UU. 2.1 mil millones dólares a un precio de 40 dólares EE.UU. por barril. Y es que los ahorros de costos al día. En tiempos de recesión, que el dinero irá un largo camino por fomentar la confianza y restañar la recesión.

Siguiente en la lista son los principales importadores europeos de crudo: Alemania, Italia y España. Por regla general, las economías europeas son menos intensivos en energía que los Estados Unidos, pero a fuerza de la mezcla de combustible y la falta de producción nacional de estos tres grandes estados se ven obligados a depender de grandes cantidades de petróleo importado. Nos excluyen a las otras principales economías europeas de esta lista, ya que son grandes productores de petróleo a sí mismos (el Reino Unido y los Países Bajos) o sus economías son extremadamente eficientes de petróleo (Francia, Bélgica y Suecia). No nos malinterpretes - los Estados de la UE son todos muy contentos de que los precios del petróleo ha marcado de nuevo. Sin embargo, en términos de ganancia relativa, Alemania, Italia y España son los verdaderos ganadores. Y con Europa frente a una recesión mucho más profunda y probablemente más largo que el de los Estados Unidos, los europeos necesitan todas las edades Advant que puedan conseguir.

La India, muy lejos de Europa cultural y geográficamente, el deporte una estructura económica similar, en tanto que se jacta (o padece, según su punto de vista) una base de industrialización que es altamente dependiente de las importaciones de petróleo. En términos generales, los indios están en la misma canasta como España, ya que son voraces consumidores de energía que han visto dispararse su demanda en los últimos años. Entre los 26 ataques de Mumbai noviembre , las próximas elecciones federales y el dolor de precios de la energía a principios de año, el gobierno está desesperado por pasar el ahorro de costos a la población para reforzar su apoyo.

Luego están los Estados de Asia Oriental de Corea del Sur, China y Japón (que se enumeran en orden decreciente de la cantidad que cada uno se beneficia de la caída de los precios). Todas las masivas cantidades de importación de petróleo crudo, pero los ponemos al final de la lista de los ganadores debido a sus sistemas financieros. En el Este de Asia - y en particular en China y Japón - el dinero no se asigna sobre la base de la tasa de rendimiento o rentabilidad como lo es en Occidente. En cambio, la preocupación es maximizar el empleo. No importa tanto en el Este de Asia si un plan de negocio es buena, el gobierno proporcionará préstamos a bajo interés, siempre emplea una multitud de personas. Un efecto secundario de esta estrategia es que las empresas pueden obtener préstamos para cualquier cosa, incluidas las materias primas que de otro modo no podrían permitirse el lujo - como el petróleo en EE.UU. 147 dólares el barril.

Por lo tanto, el aceite de los altos precios no afectan sólo Asia Oriental tanto como afectan a Occidente. Así como el sistema financiero de Asia Oriental se silencia el impacto de los altos precios, lo contrario es cierto. In the West, energy consumers are not shielded from high prices, so lower prices immediately translate into more purchasing power, and thus more economic activity. Not so in East Asia, where the same financial shielding that blunts the impact of high prices lessens the benefits of low prices.

The order in which we listed the three Asian giants relates to how much progress they have made in reforming their financial practices. South Korea's financial system is much closer to the Western model than the Asian model: South Korea hurts more as prices rise, and so will be more relieved as prices fall. China is in the middle in terms of financial practices, but it is also attempting to unwind its system of energy price-fixing as oil costs drop; due to subsidies being reduced, Chinese consumers actually may not be seeing much of a change in retail prices. Finally, Japan will benefit the least because its system is already highly efficient compared to the other two, so the price impact was less in the first place. One barrel of oil consumed in Japan generates approximately US$2,610 of Japanese gross domestic product (GDP), while the comparative figures for Korea and China are US$1,270 and US$1,130 respectively.

In short, the heavily industrialized Asians still benefit, but the impact isn't as much as one might think at first glance. In fact, the biggest benefit to these states from cheaper energy is indirect — lower prices spur consumption in the West, and then the West purchases more Asian products.

And now, the losers.

Venezuela and Iran top this list by far. Both are led by politicians who have lavished vast amounts of oil income on their populations to secure their respective political positions. But that public approval has come at its own price in terms of economic dislocation (why diversify the economy if strong oil prices bring in loads of cash?), low employment (the energy sector may be capital-intensive, but it certainly is not labor-intensive), and high inflation (high government spending has led to massive consumption and spurred rampant import of foreign goods to satiate that demand).

Of the two states, Venezuela is certainly in the worse position. By some estimates, Venezuela requires oil prices in the vicinity of US$120 a barrel to maintain the social spending to which its population has become accustomed. Iran's number may be only somewhat lower, but President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in the process of at least beginning to bow to economic reality. On Dec. 5, he announced massive cuts in subsidy outlays with the intent of reforging the budget based on a price of only US$30 a barrel.

It is an open question whether the Iranian government — and especially the increasingly unpopular Ahmadinejad — can survive such cuts (if they are indeed made), but at least there is a public realization of the depth of the crisis at the top level of government. In Venezuela, by contrast, the mitigation process has barely begun, and for political reasons it cannot truly be implemented until after a referendum in early 2009 on term limits that could allow Chavez to run for president indefinitely .

Next is Nigeria. In terms of seeing an increase in human misery, Nigeria should probably be at the top of the losers' list. But the harsh reality is that Nigerians are used to corrupt government, inadequate infrastructure, spotty power supply and all-around poor conditions. Some of the perks of high energy prices undoubtedly will disappear, but none of those perks succeeded in changing Nigeria in the first place.

The real impact on Nigeria will be that the government will have drastically less money available to grease the political wheels that allow it to keep competing regional and personal interests in check . Those funds have been particularly crucial for funneling cash to the country's oil-rich Niger Delta region, giving local bosses reason not to hire and/or arm militant groups like the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta to attack oil and natural gas sites. With Abuja having less cash, the oil regions will see a surge in extortion, kidnapping and oil bunkering (ie, theft). We already have seen attacks ramp up against the country's natural gas industry: Within the last few days, attacks against supply points have forced operators to take the Bonny Island liquefied natural gas export facility offline. And since Nigeria's mil itants never really differentiate between the country's various forms of energy export, oil disruptions are probably just around the corner.

Russia is also in the crosshairs, but not nearly to the same degree as Venezuela, Iran and Nigeria. Russia has four things going for it that the others lack. First, it exports massive amounts of natural gas and metals, giving it additional income streams. (Venezuela and Iran actually import natural gas and have no real alternative to oil income.) Second, Russia never spent its money on its population. Thus, Russians have not become used to massive government support, so there will be no sharp cuts in public spending that will be missed by the populace. Third, Russia has saved nearly every nickel it made in the past eight years, giving it cash reserves worth some US$750 billion. The financial crisis is hitting Russia hard, so at least US$200 billion of that buffer already has been spent , but Russia still remains in a far better position than m ost oil exporters. Fourth and last, the Russians can rely on Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin to (somewhat forcefully) keep the books firmly in balance. At his insistence, the government is in the process of refabricating its three-year budget on the basis of oil prices of below US$35 a barrel, down from the original estimate of US$95.

At the end of the losers' list we have two states that most people would not think of: Mexico and Canada. Both have other sources of economic activity. Canada is a modern service-based economy with a heavy presence of many commodity industries, while Mexico has become a major manufacturing hub. But both are major oil exporters, and have been leading suppliers to the American economy for decades. So both are exposed, but their concerns are more about unforeseen complications rather than the “simple” quantitative impact of lower prices.

México ha comprado contratos de derivados que, en esencia, garantizar el precio de todas sus exportaciones de petróleo para 2009 . Así que si los precios siguen siendo bajos, los ingresos reales de México no se modificará. Sólo incluir a México en la lista de perdedores, por lo tanto, porque es muy raro en la geopolítica que la planificación de esa clase realmente funciona tal como estaba previsto. Los huracanes y las huelgas de suceder. (México también enfrenta el problema de la insuficiencia de fondos, experiencia y tecnología para contrarrestar la disminución de salida rápida, algo que lo dejará con una falta de petróleo para vender en el primer lugar - pero eso es un problema más para el año 2012 a 2009.)

En cuanto a Canadá, la mayor parte de su producción de petróleo proviene de la provincia de Alberta, la sede del poder del gobernante Partido Conservador. En este momento, el gobierno canadiense se tambalea como un trompo desaceleración. Ver a los conservadores el poder basar el tomar una masiva económica golpe debido a los precios del petróleo no es el tipo de complicación que el gobierno necesita ahora mismo. A más largo plazo, Alberta aumentó recientemente los impuestos sobre los proyectos de arenas petrolíferas . Extracción del aceite es una de las arenas más intensiva en capital y tecnológicamente desafiante tipo de producción de petróleo actualmente posible. Combine los cambios impuestos con la naturaleza de la subindustry y la caída de los precios recientes y es probable que sea poco interés en invertir en la preciosa durante ción del petróleo - como mínimo - 2009.

La mayoría de los lectores tomar nota de los países que han optado por no incluir en la lista de estados vulnerables. Estos incluyen la mayor parte de los Estados de la OPEP - específicamente Angola, Iraq, Kuwait, Arabia Saudita, los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, Qatar y Libia. Todos estos estados cuentan petróleo como su significativa a la exportación solamente (excepto los Emiratos Árabes Unidos y Qatar, que también la exportación de gas natural), así que ¿por qué nos sentimos de estos países no están en la zona de peligro?

Por su parte, Angola sólo se convirtió en un importante productor recientemente. Casi la totalidad de la producción de petróleo de Angola es de los proyectos offshore controladas por extranjeros - el cierre de dicha producción es un asunto muy delicado para un país que es totalmente dependiente de la tecnología extranjera para operar su industria significativa solamente. Pero la razón principal de Angola no se siente el calor es que la mayoría de sus ingresos no se ha gastado, sino que ha sido guardados debido a la ausencia de lo físico y personal de infraestructura necesaria para impulsar los ingresos.

Irak está en una posición algo similar en cuanto a finanzas se refiere. Si bien el Iraq ha estado produciendo petróleo desde hace décadas, el gobierno actual es sólo unos pocos años de edad, y sus instituciones, simplemente no puede asignar los fondos en cuestión. A pesar de los desembolsos masiva de Irak y Angola, sus respectivos gobiernos simplemente no tienen la capacidad para gastar, y así se han creado las cuentas de dinero en efectivo de dólares de los EE.UU. 26 mil millones y 54 mil millones dólares EE.UU., respectivamente.

El resto de los productores de petróleo árabes orden de una simple explicación mucho: Han sido fiscalmente conservador. Si bien todos han compartido la riqueza con sus inquietos poblaciones tanto, ninguno de ellos ha repetido los errores de la década de 1970, cuando se gastó en los edificios llamativos y caros sobreasignadas sí mismos para los programas sociales. Todos han estado ahorrando grandes cantidades de dinero en efectivo, con los saudíes, probablemente solo tenga más de 1 billón dólares EE.UU. puñetazo de distancia. Muy pequeño Kuwait oficialmente tiene un fondo de inversión por más de dólares de los EE.UU. 250 mil millones.

So while none of the Arab oil states are particularly thrilled with the direction — and in particular the speed — oil prices have gone, none of these governments faces a mortal danger at this time. What they are now missing is the ability to make a substantial impact on the world around them. At oil's height the Gulf Arab oil producers were taking in US$2 billion a day in revenues — far more cash than they could ever hope to metabolize themselves. Bribes are powerful tools of foreign policy, and their income allowed them — particularly Saudi Arabia — to wield outsized influence in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and even in Beijing, London and Washington. So while none of these states faces a meltdown from falling prices, there are certainly some hangovers in store for them. It is jus t that they are more political than economic in nature, at least for now.

Saudi Arabia's top cleric has used his annual sermon to Muslim pilgrims assembling for hajj to urge Muslim countries to renounce capitalism and form an Islamic economic bloc that adopts interest-free finance.

Grand Mufti Abdelaziz Al al-Sheikh told worshippers assembling on the plain of Mount Arafat that global economies now caught in crisis were suffering the result of using interest as a bedrock of their financial systems. Under Islamic law, or sharia, paying or receiving interest is forbidden.

The crisis, he said, demonstrated that “Muslim countries must have sharia-compliant economies and unite to become a formidable economic power”.

Islamic banks, which grew rapidly in the Gulf region in recent years from an influx of oil receipts, often depend on retail deposits rather than money markets for funding. As a result, sharia-compliant banks generally demand strong collateral, which some argue is why their exposure to toxic loans is limited.

The white-bearded mufti, wearing the traditional white robes of the pilgrim, also warned young Muslims to stay away from the corrupting influences of the modern media, which he termed “ideological terror” and said was targeting them.

The mufti's economic edicts are meant to serve more for spiritual guidance, and commenting on a global economic phenomenon is a rare event.

Some pilgrims said that they would pray for an end to the global financial crisis.

Mohammad Fateh, who works for a brokerage in Egypt, told Reuters: “The economic crisis is on the mind of most pilgrims. They are going to pray to God to alleviate the problem…It's an unexpected crisis and the only solution is mercy from heaven.

“The Arab and Muslim worlds are going to be affected by this crisis. I'll pray to God to lift this scourge,” he said, adding that many had asked him to offer prayers on their behalf.

The hajj retraces the path of the Prophet Mohammed 14 centuries ago after he removed pagan idols from Mecca, his birthplace, and years after he started calling people to the new faith, now embraced by more than 1bn people worldwide.

At Arafat, Muslims pray for forgiveness and for their own and fellow Muslims' welfare.

After sunset, the pilgrims were scheduled to continue their gradual trip toward Mecca, heading for Muzdalifa to gather pebbles for the symbolic ritual of throwing stones at a set of pillars and walls representing the devil.

Saudi media said this year a record 1.72m hajj visas had been granted to Muslims abroad and at least 500,000 local people had received permits.

This year's hajj has so far not faced any of the problems or disasters that have marred the event in previous years, which included fires, hotel collapses, police clashes with protesters and deadly stampedes caused by overcrowding.

Saudi Arabian authorities have carried out renovations over the past year in an effort to ease the flow of pilgrims inside the Grand Mosque and at the disaster-prone Jamarat bridge. In January 2006, 362 people were crushed to death there in the worst hajj tragedy since 1990.

Once again we have witnessed an Islamic terrorist attack incited and justified through appeals to Islam by its perpetrators. On one level it is understandable why so many in the West are unwilling or unable to connect the militant ideology of political Islam to the thousands of Islamic terror attacks that have been committed worldwide since 9/11. We extol the virtues of tolerance and pluralism and believe others in the world do so as well, so it is easy to dismiss such attacks as the work of a few “extremists,” rather than the product of adherence to an ideology.

The fatal flaw in this thinking is this: How can we successfully win a war on Islamic terrorism if we don't correctly define the threat doctrine that motivates its adherents?

It is argued that most of the world's Muslims are not terrorists. While true, this fact is irrelevant. Most of the world's Muslims have never read the Qur'an or the Hadith in a language they can understand. They have not read the hundreds of passages that call for jihad against infidels, nor do they renounce such passages. They do not organize en masse to denounce the terrorist acts perpetrated by other Muslims in the name of Islam, nor do they denounce the frequent exhortations to world subjugation found in the holy books of Islam.

Yes, there are Muslims who have denounced the Mumbai attacks. But examine their denunciations closely and you will be hard-pressed to find renunciations of the supremacist doctrine of political Islam — the foundation for jihad — which emanates from its holy books. This is the justification commonly cited by terrorists for their actions. We in the West must come to grips with the uncomfortable fact that terrorism is a symptom of this militant, supremacist ideology. Terrorism is a means to an end, not an end in itself. And it is but one of many means used by those who are devoted to the supremacist ideology of political Islam.



Religious head incited killers

Bruce Loudon, South Asia correspondent | December 01, 2008

Article from: The Australian
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,24731818-2703,00.html

THE al-Qa'ida-linked Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists suspected over the Mumbai massacre were trained in Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, and were incited by speeches from their leader in Lahore.

As the sole surviving terrorist was interrogated in Mumbai, security sources told The Australian that 10 terrorists were picked by LET for the suicide mission.

They were ordered to “kill until your last breath” and murder up to 5000 people.

They did so after provocative speeches by Hafiz Mohammed Saeed last month in Lahore, capital of the Punjab.

Saeed, described as LET's supreme religious and political head, declared in one speech: “The only language India understands is that of force, and that is the language it must be talked to in.”

The email claiming responsibility for the Mumbai attack minutes after it started last Wednesday was generated on a computer based in Pakistan.

And a satellite telephone captured from the terrorists revealed calls made to numbers in Pakistan during the attacks, reports said.

Officials said the terrorists' route to Mumbai had been recorded on GPS co-ordinates contained in the satellite phones.

Sources said the 10 terrorists — most of whom were believed to be Pakistanis — were ordered to undergo training to attack Mumbai.

The captured gunman, Ajmal Amir Kamal, 21, reportedly told intelligence sources the group had trained openly in Muzaffarabad before heading to the nearby Mangala dam for lessons in marine commando techniques.

The group then visited Rawalpindi, which adjoins Islamabad, the Pakistan capital and site of the Pakistan army headquarters.

From there, the group took a train to the port city of Karachi, where, heavily armed, they boarded a freighter for the trip to Mumbai. Along the way, they became nervous about Indian coastguard activity and almost aborted the mission.

They “dragooned” a less conspicuous, passing fishing boat into service, shooting dead four of its crew members. The skipper of the fishing boat and another crew member took them closer to Mumbai before they, too, were killed. One was decapitated and the other had his throat slit.

Close to shore, they transferred to small speedboats for the run into the two landing points they had selected in Mumbai – Sassoon Docks and Badhwar Park, on Cuff Parade.

Conflicting evidence obtained by intelligence agencies suggests that the group may have had local support, and that one or more of its members may have been staying locally, possibly even in the Taj Mahal hotel.

A British link to the attacks was raised over the weekend when a senior Indian official claimed that Britons were among the militants.

Vilasrao Deshmukh, the chief minister of Maharashtra state, in which Mumbai lies, was quoted on an Indian television station as saying that British citizens had been detained.

British MP Patrick Mercer, a former Tory security spokesman, said he had been given information that at least two of the terrorists had credit cards and other identifying documents that linked them to Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, in northeast England.

The claims, however, were not substantiated by official British sources, who said there was no evidence “at this stage” that Britons had taken part in the attacks, although they acknowledged that events were “moving fast” and more information was emerging about the nationality of the terrorists.

MI5 and British counter-terrorist police are keeping in close touch with their counterparts in India and are alert to the possibility that Britons with Pakistani origins might have been involved. Significant numbers of young British Pakistanis have taken part in terrorist training in Pakistan.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that there was no evidence of Britons being involved, and the Foreign Secretary David Miliband said: “We obviously will want to work very closely with the Indians but it is too early to say whether or not any of them are British.”

Malaysian police are investigating reports that Malaysian-issued credit cards were found in the belongings of the terrorists involved in the Mumbai attacks.

Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar said Malaysia had no links with the terrorists, responding to an Indian report that nine of the gunmen claimed to be Malaysian students when they travelled to Mumbai several months ago.

Terror analyst Praveen Swami said that at a meeting of key LET leaders in Lahore on October 19, LET leader Saeed, who insists he is only head of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa welfare organisation, made plain his view of Pakistan's neighbour.

“India, he claimed, was building dams in (Indian-controlled) Jammu and Kashmir to choke Pakistan's water supplies and cripple its agriculture,” Mr Swami reported Saeed as saying.

“Earlier, in an October 6 speech, Saeed claimed that India had 'made a deal with the United States to send 150,000 Indian troops to Afghanistan' and that it agreed to support the US in its existential war against Islam.

“Finally, in a sermon to a congregation at the Jamia Masjid al-Qudsia (mosque) in Lahore at the end of October, Saeed proclaimed that there was an 'ongoing war in the world between Islam and its enemies'.

“He claimed that 'crusaders of the East and West have united in a cohesive onslaught against Muslims'.”

War News Update: What In The World?

By Mark Harvey Sunday, November 23, 2008

I haven't done a War News Update in quite a while due to the fervor of the elections quagmire but now that it is almost over, I will begin these updates at least once a week. I do have nearly 700+ dispatches saved up so expect a flurry of data that the media cannot reveal. Seeing that this is Victory In Iraq Day (VI-Day), let us begin with some information that has been widely ignored by the Defeatocrats and those responsible for the war going as long as it has.

La primera orden del día será un informe de la Gran Satán novia con el Manual de Asesores Militares . This report reveals what I have been espousing for quite some time seeing that I have some experience in this area. It is a worthy report and I agree with it entirely. General David Petraeus is a genius and it is too bad that politics got in the way of his ability to win this war earlier. If his ideas and concepts had been implemented sooner, perhaps the traitors and subversives would have been put in their proper places…in prison. Then again, the folks that could have done that are too cowardly to actually enforce current law.

CIA: Every Major Terror Threat, World Wide, Involves Pakistan

This has been known for quite some time but it wasn't politically expedient to make it known. I am sure Czarbie would know something about this seeing that he did spend quite some time in Pakistan before he had threatened to bomb the hell out of Pakistan during his illegal campaign. Illegal campaign? Yes, that is what I said…the fool isn'ta US citizen but that won't stop the enemies of the US from the coronation of the impostor.

Other posts I have done involve the Global Cultural Jihad. England is experiencing this and the United States is on track for Shar'ia Law by 2050. I suppose the Democrats will realize this when they are the first to be put to death by the sword of allah. In accordance with Shar'is Law, the ungodly will die first. The fools that have been “upset” by Prop 8 in California will be the most surprised.

In spite of the alleged Obama victory, Iran has decided not to honor their original “promises”. They will continue their Hate America mantra. They are also going to have a meeting. This isn'ta big surprise to me seeing that I still have difficulty differentiating the basic democrat party leader from the terrorists and their leaders…they speak the same language – America Sucks.

Steven J. Rosen has a piece up at the American Thinker published on 11/16 entitled, ” Did Iran Offer a 'Grand Bargain' in 2003? ” Without getting into the details here at this time, we all know where this is going and from where it came. We also know that the premise was born in the bowels of the morons that have prolonged this war for the sake of political expediency and power. It was a farce and a lie then and it is even more so now. Rosen explains it in detail and I have the background of all that nonsense stored right here…have fun.

It is said that OBL is still alive and his busily farming out details of more attacks now that the week-kneed and thin-skinned coward Obama has theoretically won the election. They, the terrorists, know that Czarbie will do nothging to defend this Nation so their plots and plans will move forward in the hopes to reverse their losses in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraqw as well as just about everywhere else.

Vindicación. It smells and tastes oh so sweet. For those of you that know me, you will know and remember that I have said this for years: CIA Agent Confirms Al-Qaeda Was In Iraq In 2002 . ¿Te acuerdas? This is one of the many areas that I have major issues with President Bush. It wasn't politically expedient to make this known. ¿Por qué? No tengo ni idea. I do know that the war was prolonged because of it. I also know for a fact that the ones that made hay-day over President Bush being silent on this FACT also knew the data was factual but utilized the silence to further their cause of political power. They also rendered aid and comfort to the enemy during that process. Did I not make it widely known that we “watched them flee Afghanistan and flee to the Four Winds”? Sí, lo hice. I will stress this once again. We watched the enemy flee Afghanistan to Pakistan, Iran and Iraq. We stopped them in Tajikistan. Flopping Aces has more. However, neither Gateway Pundit, Flopping Aces or CQ Politics has what I have in my head and heart. They were not there. I was. Like I said. Vindication is sweet. Eat that you libtard morons. The libtards can also eat their BS about the WMD deal as well.

In other news, Stealth Jihad? It seems as though the Jihad is using the List of 45 . Interesting that. Please note that I didn't say “surprising”. Then again, we can always consider the Muslim Brotherhood and their ties to CAIR and the List of 45, can't we? The proponents of CAIR and their democrat and RINO sympathizers are useful idiots in the demise of this Nation and the libtards are “Rather” pleased with themselves. I am going to laugh at them as their heads are lopped off by the sword of allah and just might break out the marshmallows to roast over their burning bodies. Then we can focus on killing the Jihadi scum in this nation.

While we are at it, seeing that Obama was having meetings with HAMAS all during his campaign, what if we had an investigation about that and why Syria and Iran have given HAMAS the green light? Surely there is something to that besides Obama being the pathological liar that he is. And, knowing that Obama is such a pathological liar on top of being a narcissist, can we really believe that he will not support the “Saudi” Israeli-Arab peace pact? Or, can we actually know why Iran is now backing off from their previous statements about supporting SOFA? Why on Earth wold they support that Plan now that the weakling Czarbie is set to steal the White House? Isn't it just like a terrorist to act like a democrat and “change their mind” when politically expedient to do so? Democrats and terrorists…same-same.

Oh. And expect the usual “illegal war” crap to come up again. Naturally, thee isn't any evidence to support that BS but that won't stop the pathological liars on the left, will it? Then again, when they are clueless about the Iraq War, why should anyone really give them the attention they lust after?

As our Troops have won in Iraq and are winning in Afghanistan, NATO not withstanding, the Confederate Yankee tells us to brace for a total loss in the future. It is what the Democrats are all about. Then again, when the terrorists declare war on Pakistan, one has to wonder where all of this is going. Obama and the terrorists want to bomb Pakistan…

Whereas the treatment of President Bush has been off the charts and psychotic, at times I think he may have deserved it. He never seemed to take the libtards seriously. I do and don't blame him for it but when it put our troops in danger, he should have at least came out and shamed the libtards out in the open and in public.

Some are saying that Afghanistan is barely winnable and I think that is primarily a NATO result. I have been a long supporter of disbanding NATO due to its ties to the UN. But, that is for another post for a different day.

http://marcuscyganiak.blogspot.com/2008/11/world-leaders-receive-threats.html

It has been reported today on multiple sourced websites that on-going anonymous threats have been sent out to world leaders within the past 72 hours. Among the threats is that of a nuclear bomb attack in the very near future on United States soil.

Such an attack on America “would make 9/11 insignificant,” said Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

On Barack Obama's first day as President-Elect, he immediately received threats via US intelligence that Israel are plotting to attack Iran before he is sworn into the White House on January 20, 2009. Russia has also gone into high-gear in noting that they are enforcing their own missile defense systems bordering Poland to counteract the US-stationed missile defense system there.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said, “we will not retreat,” when dealing with the United States in Europe. Former Russian President Putin believes that President George W. Bush has setup multiple missile defense shield systems across Europe to keep a close eye and target on Russia. Contrary to that claim, President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice diligently state that these stations in Europe are nothing but goodwill safety measures put forth for the EU, Nato allies, and American interests upon fending off terrorists, extremists, and notably Iran.

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has ignored President Bush and Condoleezza Rice's claims with triggers ready to attack.

So with Russia visibly upset with the United States and Iran being an ally of Russia, one has to wonder where these world leaders outside of that inner circle are receiving the nuclear bomb threats from. You can go ahead and add in Korea and China into the mix since they have nuclear bombs as well, and are too allies of Russia.

Among the nations that have publically stated they have received the cryptic threats include Australia, England, France, and the United States.

Is any of this a surprise for anyone though?

The now Vice President-elect Joe Biden had some chilling comments to make during the campaign trail just a week prior to Election Day. He repeatedly told us, “Mark my words, mark my words.” Barack Obama is going to be tested with a “generated crisis” within the first six months he explained.

So would an attack on America, potentially larger in catastrophe to 9/11 as Australian PM put it, be the crisis Joe Biden is referring to? Does Biden know something we do not?

Joe Biden also went on to say, “I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate, and he's (Barack Obama) going to need help. And the kind of help he's going to need is, he's going to need you – not financially to help him – we're going to need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not going to be apparent initially, it's not going be apparent that we're right.”

Confundido aún? Well while I can join you on that trail of confusion, I still want to figure this out.

An obvious note of observation is that these high level politicians around the world all seem to be coordinated with these warnings received. I'm talking about Vice President-elect Joe Biden, even former US Secretary of State Colin Powell, another former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, and finally Admiral Lord Alan West of the British Home Office as the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State.

Are all these high level politicians preparing the world for a crisis of gigantic fatal measures?

When looking back at the US invasion in Afghanistan and Iraq in 2003 as part of the War on Terror, and most recently the US embarking on attacks in Syria and Pakistan shortly after the Russian invasion in Georgia, you just have to wonder if these events are the prelude to World War III. These high level politicians are certainly painting the picture that way.

So now I take you to the overall big picture:

  • Russia continues to threaten a new Cold War, with missiles lined up to attack Poland because of the US missile defense shield system agreement that was signed. Should that shield system officially be built, Russia states that they will deploy missile attacks.
  • Russia has the capability of launching missiles from Russian soil to American soil.
  • Iran too claims to have the same capabilities in being able to launch missiles over to US soil.
  • Israel continues to send out warnings that they will be attacking Iran, which would call for US troops' help.
  • President George W. Bush has expressed an interest in attacking Iran before his run in the oval office is over because of Iran's nuclear program to produce nuclear weapons.
  • Russia will attack US troops and Israeli troops, should an attack on Iran become apparent.
  • Korea has sent out threats of attack to the United States in the past and they too carry the capacity of nuclear bombs while being allies of Russia and Iran.
  • You can add China into the list of allies with Russia.


Does this not look like one big circle of tension to you? It sure does to me, and it's one that is growing far too tight in tension now. As a result, it could only be a matter of days, weeks, or months before one nation pulls the trigger to ignite World War III.

November 6, 2008

I feel certain that many in my stream of the Church want a statement from me concerning Tuesday's presidential election. I will be frank in my remarks but I do not, however, intend to vent anger or attack anyone. I have read several statements from friends and colleagues I respect very much.


Their thoughts are well stated and, for the most part, insightful.  None of them, however, seem to want to say some things that I believe need to be said. I do not claim infallibility or to have the final word, but my convictions run deep and I believe I bear a God-given responsibility to share them.

Was This God's Will?


Was what happened Tuesday God's will?  I am quite confident it was not.  America was offered a very clear choice between moving further toward protecting the unborn or further away; between a Supreme Court that would move toward honoring God, life and morality or away from it.  The stakes couldn't have been higher nor the cost greater. As a nation we put on blinders concerning Barak Obama's background, associations, beliefs and practices, and set these causes back years, possibly decades.
And in doing so we took another step away from God and His plans for America, and another step toward judgment.

Judgment Will Increase


This is not a fire and brimstone warning from an angry, legalistic preacher.  In fact, I feel more sadness and grief than anything else.
Perhaps I feel what Jesus felt as He wept for Jerusalem while announcing its judgment. I am not hoping for judgment; I am saying it is inevitable. I don't know where the unbiblical belief comes from that says a nation can live any way it pleases, can reject God and His ways-even mock Him-and not receive His judgments.  Nor do I know when the belief came that it is always mean-spirited or judgmental to warn of these things.  To the contrary, I believe it is our responsibility.

In warning of judgment, I am not suggesting that God is going to intentially and directly hurt people.  Much judgment is simply the absence of God's protection and provision, caused by a rejection of His laws and ways.  We have been experiencing some forms of judgment in America for years, but God in His incredible patience and mercy has kept us from the level we've deserved.  I believe this will change to a degree and judgment will now
increase:

  • For those in the Church who aligned themselves with pro-abortion forces, I believe judgment will result.

  • For leaders in the Body of Christ who refused to take a stand for fear of losing people, money, and tax-exempt status-I believe there will be a degree of judgment.

  • For those, both within the Church and without, who voted money over morality-a potential raise or better health insurance over the life of a baby-there will be judgment. (The irony is that this decision to base one's vote on the hopes of a better economy won't produce the hoped for result anyway. The scriptures teach that it is righteousness which exalts a nation and that the nation is blessed whose God is the Lord.)

I have heard the argument that God cares as much about social justice issues (such as poverty and racism) as He does abortion, making a vote for Obama OK.  I certainly believe God puts a very high priority on caring for the poor and I, too, have wanted to see equality demonstrated through a “minority” president. But to equate having a better income or the desire for a first black president, regardless of his positions on abortion and morality, to the issue of killing 50 million babies is not justice-it is a gross distortion of justice and great deception. I fear that we have been desensitized to this issue of abortion.  I believe it kills babies and takes innocent life.  I also believe it is blood sacrifice that empowers demons. Let's not forget this in our noble attempts to be kind and conciliatory.
For African Americans I can easily see how it could bring healing to have a first black president, just as it would be for Native Americans to achieve this or for women if a woman were elected president.  Again, I have wanted to see justice in this way.  I am only saddened that the price for this healing ended up being Barak Obama, a man that will set the cause of life and, most-likely, our God-given destiny as a nation back so drastically. (I also realize there are some who interpret any criticism of Obama as racism. Racism is so NOT what I am about nor what I live, that I will not even dignify any such accusations with a response.)

What Can We Expect?


What are some of the judgments we can expect on our nation from this election?

  • More economic woes
  • More violence in an already violent nation
  • Disease and death (satan, who is responsible for these things will have greater inroads to our nation.)
  • Natural disasters (weather-tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, drought; fires; earthquakes; etc.)
  • Terrorism (they will fear us much less now)
  • War, perhaps on our own soil
  • Judgments relating to the Court. The stacking of the Supreme Court against the sanctity of life and God's influence on America will occur, which will in turn cause the shedding of more innocent blood, more rejection of God's laws and the stealing from us of our godly heritage-all of which will perpetuate a cycle of even more judgment.

How Did This Happen?


I've been asked if this could have been averted had there been more prayer.  I'm not sure. I believe there was a remnant of Christians fervently praying over these elections-I don't think there was anything more they could have done. Others, obviously, should have done more.  The complacency and lack of discernment concerning our real condition in America-especially by the Church-is both appalling and horrifying.  America is in serious trouble and it seems no one wants to say it.  Fewer still are willing to do anything to change it.

Though I understand our reasons, we must be careful in our attempts to placate our feelings and calm our fears through religious phrases like “God is still on the throne” or “God has a plan”.  He was on His throne 35 years and 50 million babies ago.  And He had a plan back then.  The problem is, it was us.  I understand our reasons for waving high the banner of God's sovereignty at times like these-it gives us hope.  I will wave it, as well.
But please be careful with this. Too much emphasis on God's sovereignty and we're worthless; too little and we're hopeless.  Maybe we should say, “we lost a critical battle but God will give us strategy to win the war.” Then find the strategy.

But still yet, since God is usually willing to work through a remnant, I thought we had enough prayer. Obviously, God decided otherwise.  There comes a time when He will not forgive or bless the majority based on the prayers or actions of only a few.  America rejected God and asked for a king; I believe we now have our Saul (see 1 Samuel 8:5-7)-a man who does not have God's heart for America but his own. Like Israel in scripture, our nation believes it can turn from God and still be blessed.  In His mercy and justice He will show us otherwise.

Like many, believing I had many promises and confirmations that God would “grace” us with a pro-life president in this election, I failed to consider strongly enough that all promises-even scripture-are conditional 99.9% of the time. Though I never prophesied or made guarantees that McCain-Palin would win, failing to factor this principle in strongly enough no doubt caused me to share my optimism with others inappropriately. If this caused any harm or confusion, I apologize.

Has the fact that my prayers weren't answered shaken my faith? No. I'ma little confused and discouraged. I'm also somewhat angry at the nation in general and much of the Church. Mostly I'm grieving over the nation and what this will cost us. I am not, however, angry with God and do not question His justice. And it is not true that we wasted our time, energy and money in our efforts anymore than it is a waste when we share the gospel with people who don't get saved.  We must keep in the forefront of our thinking the fact that ultimately we are doing this for Him and that He will reward us for our faithfulness.  And who knows, perhaps He will store up all those prayers for the next battle (Revelation 5:8, 8:3-5).

A friend and fellow warrior said it well,

“We did 'give it our all.' I know the Lord was pleased with that. A coach wants to know one thing at the end of a heartbreaking sports loss: 'Did you leave it all on the field?' (your passion, your commitment, your strength, your courage, etc.) I know that we 'left it all on the field.' We didn't hold anything back until the game ended. Tragically, it ended in defeat. We will rise for another day because Jesus is worthy.”

Where Do We Go from Here?


Does this election outcome shake my faith that we can see a great awakening and ultimately reformation in America? Absolutely not (and it strengthens my resolve).  We will simply get there through greater pain and loss.  Even my passion to see the Supreme Court shift is not from a presupposition that there can be no spiritual awakening without it.  It is simply due to my deep conviction that their decisions bring so much death, destruction, curses and judgment to America; and because our full destiny as a nation is unquestionably linked to their decisions. So, yes, we will get an awakening and reformation; but the reality is that this reformation of the nation will reform the Supreme Court (and government, in general), not vice-versa.  My faith has never been in people or a political party; my faith is in the God who works through them.

I've been asked if my feelings about Sarah Palin have changed.  They have not. I believe she is an Esther, a Deborah, with a huge mantle from God for reformation. God has a great destiny for her related to this nation if she chooses to continue down this path.

So, in conclusion, we must re-group as an apostolic, praying church and advance.  We must maintain an immovable faith in God, His plans for America and His mercy.  And we must move beyond simply asking God for a spiritual awakening and ask Him for strategy to produce reformation, as well.  I, for one, am just getting started!

For God and this great nation,
Dutch Sheets

Russia – With Malice

Russian Nuclear Navy at Syrian Port – Russian Arms to Syria, Hezb'Allah & Iran
by Emanuel A. Winston, a Middle East Analyst & Commentator
The Media are offering up their wisdom about how Russia could undermine the US and the rest of the Free West by selling arms to rogue nations.
Gee Whiz! I must be a genius or a Nostradamus because I have been observing Vladimir Putin selling arms for years to Iran, Syria, Venezuela…from which those weapons migrate to Hezb'Allah, Hamas and Al Qaeda.
The Media, globally, take the position that Putin will deliberately cause mischief against the US – as if the last several years never happened. Russia under Putin, with malice aforethought, has advanced Iran's development of nuclear weapons, denials notwithstanding.
Putin knew well that the technology, once in the hands of radical Islamists, would spread to all other Muslim nations and their Terrorist proxies. Putin's hatred for the West is greater than the risk Russia faces if and when the Muslims of Chechnya get their hands on fissile material and try to blow up Moscow.
From the Stalin era and before, the Soviets – now again called Russians – have always been a primitive people who seem to need the rule of cruel dictators to keep the great population under control. I've never knew they were called anything else other than Russians or communists. A Rusky now and then. The dictators themselves are usually a wild bunch, always planning to conquer, murder and rule, whomever they can intimidate.
Putin never actually left the KGB and now, as the power behind Putin's puppet, the current President Dmitry Antolyevich Medvedev, Putin wishes to bring back the years of fear that prevailed during the Cold War. During the Soviet days there were KGB and other training camps dedicated to training Terrorists like Carlos, the Jackal. Training Middle East Muslim Terrorists was the KGB speciality.
Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen) took his degree from the Patrice Lumumba University, with his thesis dissertation in why the Holocaust never happened. Abbas, like Yassir Arafat was linked to the Soviets enterprise by an umbilical cord of pure Terror.

Where were the Media pundits who have access to vast files on every bit of history but seem to never crack a reference book? It is said that “Dumb is curable, but Stupid is forever.”
Why haven't investigative journalists been on Russia's case long before Putin set up his recent attack on Georgia?
I must say that the US State Department under Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (a so-called expert on Russia) failed before, during and after the Russian invasion. Come to think of it Rice has failed in every aspect of solving international problems. Her only dubious success was to use the Bush “Big Brother” pressure to force the weak government of Israel under its current Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to risk its very existence by making suicidal gestures to the Muslim Arab Palestinians.

Rice remains untouchable to the media simply because she is a woman; she is black and, therefore, should be considered free of rational scrutiny by the Media. Granted she smiles nicely, makes seemingly erudite speeches but, she solves nothing of the world's problems. Her vaunted, supposed expertise about Russia has been a dismal failure, particularly in forecasting political and military adventurism.
Petting the Russian Bear, thinking it is a tamed, civilized animal is a grave error and wishful thinking one the part of any nation. The Bear is dangerous, has giant claws and teeth and artful avoidance by the West is a giant sized mistake.

The Media have played a role in lulling the nations into becoming a main course in the Bear's dinner. But, the Brezhnev Doctrine is alive and well.

Pt. 2: Russia Blames Israel for Casualties in Georgia & Seeks a Pretext to Supply Even More Arms to Syria, Hezb'Allah & Iran to Kill Israelis.
The vice-chairman of the Russian Chiefs-of-Staff – Anatoloy Nogoveichin – is accusing Israel of supplying arms to Georgia that were used to kill Russians.
This is a very worrying development. This pretext will be used by Russia to continue supplying Syria, Hezb'Allah and Iran with weapons that will inevitably be used to kill Israelis. During the last war in Lebanon, summer 2006, Israelis suffered many military and civilian casualties due to Russian-made arms.
This may have been one of Putin's goals in Russia's invasion of Georgia. By “impaling” themselves on Israeli-made arms that were in Georgia – Russian gained a presumed justification for supplying arms to kill Israelis. Now they can even claim “vengeance”.
What the Russians fail to mention is that they never told the Israelis to rein in private arms supply firms based in Israel – nor to stop sending advisors. No one really thought Georgia and Russia would be in a real war. For the Israeli firms it was just good business, necessary to make their own weapons' manufacture pay for itself, so Israel would have the weapons she needs for self-defense.
Israel clearly would not have risked the anger of Moscow had she known Russia and Georgia would be at war. In fact, Israel clamped an embargo on weapons' shipments to Georgia the minute Russia attacked.
The Russians should be informed that using what transpired in Georgia as an excuse to harm Israel though accelerated weapons' shipments to Syria, Hezb'Allah and Iran is simply unacceptable and patently unfair.
To wit, the following is explosively alarming:
Pt. 3 from Debkafile: “Big Russian flotilla led by Admiral Kuznetsov carrier heads for Syrian port” [paraphrased]
Now [August 23rd] a powerful Russian naval contingent, led by the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov is sitting off shore at the Syrian port of Tartus. This includes the Russian Navy's biggest missile cruiser Moskva and at least four nuclear missile submarines.
Before the Russian flotilla departed Murmansk on the Barents Sea August 18, Assad is reported to have given the nod for the Tartus port's conversion into a permanent Middle East base for Russia's nuclear-armed warships.
On Thursday August 21 Syria's President Bashar Assad at the Black Sea resort of Sochi, told reporters he is considering a Russian request to deploy missiles in Syria because of Russian-Western tensions over the Georgian conflict. Assad signaled that he would also be representing Tehran's interests in his talks with Russian leaders. Jordan's King Abdullah joined this 'conference' on August 21st.
While Assad was meeting at Sochi, a large Syrian military delegation visited the Russian weapons manufacturing giant, the Kalinin Machines Plant, east of Moscow. This plant makes sophisticated anti-air missile systems, including the S-300 and the BUK M, for which Damascus is bidding.
Assad seems to be giving Russia's Navy the port of Tartus in return for a mutual defense pact with Russia who will provide Syria with a Russian nuclear umbrella and generous terms for his arms purchases. (2)
