B enjamin Netanyahu est en mission. Au cours des quelques prochains mois, le premier ministre israélien nouvelle vise à convaincre les dirigeants du monde du danger imminent Iran pose à la civilisation occidentale. Peu avant, il a prêté serment le Mars 31, Netanyahou a déclaré que, outre-Atlantique de fixation de l'économie, de Washington primaire autre impératif doit être d'empêcher l'Iran d'obtenir des armes nucléaires.

"Vous ne voulez pas qu'un culte messianique apocalyptique de contrôle des bombes atomiques", a indiqué M. Netanyahu de la théocratie islamiste.

Si l'administration Obama ne parviennent pas à arrêter l'Iran, a indiqué M. Netanyahu, Israël pourrait être forcé de grève préventive de la République islamique.

Puisque la Bible affirme que l'Europe, non pas Israël ou les États-Unis finiront par briser l'Iran menée par le «roi du Sud» (Daniel 11:40), à certains égards, de menaces bellicistes d'Israël contre l'Iran pourrait nous distraire des autres, loin plusieurs événements consécutifs, prophétiquement parlant.

La Bible dit: l'affrontement spectaculaire entre la Communauté européenne "roi du nord» et l'islam radical sera principalement tournent autour de Jérusalem. C'est la division de Jérusalem, pas de quête iranienne de l'énergie nucléaire, qui va déclencher la prochaine guerre mondiale.

L'affrontement inévitable

«Voici, le jour de l'Éternel arrive,« Zacharie a écrit dans une prophétie pour l'heure de fin. "Je rassemblerai toutes les nations pour qu'elles attaquent Jérusalem; et la ville sera prise, les maisons seront pillées, et les femmes violées, et la moitié de la ville ira en captivité, et le reste du peuple ne doit pas être coupé hors de la ville "(Zacharie 14:1-2).

Dans la vision, le prophète commence par la seconde venue de Jésus-Christ, et travaille ensuite le chemin du retour pour décrire les événements qui précèdent immédiatement l'apparition du Messie sur la Terre. Avant de toutes les nations se rassemblent pour lutter contre le Christ à son retour, Jérusalem »doivent être prises", conquis par le conglomérat européen. Cet événement, marquant le début de ce que la Bible appelle la Grande Tribulation, se produit peu après l'attaque tourbillon de l'Europe contre l'islam radical.

Peu de temps avant que les affrontements entre les rois du nord et du sud, Zacharie dit la moitié de Jérusalem "ira en captivité», indique la ville sera divisée par une sorte de lutte violente. Que cette prophétie indique que A-palestinien dominé par le Hamas insurrection, soutenu par l'Iran, aura la moitié de la ville de Jérusalem captive.

Le conflit israélo-islamiste sur Jérusalem est ce que nous avons besoin de regarder la télévision pour la prochaine.

Pour la dernière décennie, à des moments il est apparu que si Israël donnerait volontiers jusqu'à Jérusalem-Est à la table des négociations. En Décembre 2005, un sondage publié par le Yedioth Ahronoth a révélé qu'environ la moitié des Israéliens soutiennent l'idée d'abandonner certaines parties de Jérusalem-Est arabe si elle consolider un accord de paix avec les Palestiniens.

Même avant qu'il ne devienne Premier ministre, Ehud Olmert a déclaré qu'Israël serait un jour avoir à renoncer à son rêve d'une éternelle Jérusalem unifiée sous souveraineté juive. Après un mois dans le bureau, l'un des collègues de M. Olmert au sein de Kadima a déclaré à l'Associated Press que le gouvernement d'Olmert a été d'élaborer un plan pour diviser Jérusalem.

Comparez cela à tout d'un coup où nous sommes aujourd'hui. Qu'est-ce qu'un écart de trois ans en fait, que Pierre a écrit Atlas Mars 27 de Real Clear Politics, contrastant nouveau gouvernement en Israël avec Ehud Olmert. Atlas a noté que, en 2006, la plupart des Israéliens soutenaient le retrait unilatéral de Gaza, et une grande partie de la Knesset favorisée retrait de certaines parties de la Cisjordanie. À l'époque, l'aile droite Likoud, le parti, qui s'oppose à des retraits unilatéraux, le plus souffert en raison de l'électorat de l'humeur de l'. Il a perdu 26 de ses 38 sièges aux élections de 2006 parlementaires.

"Personne n'aurait pu imaginer alors que, trois ans plus tard," Atlas a écrit: «Netanyahu serait formant le gouvernement israélien à venir."

En fait, peu de temps avant les élections de 2006, que nos lecteurs réguliers savent, notre rédacteur en chef mentionnés sur son hebdomadaire clés du programme de télévision que David Benjamin Netanyahu serait probablement de retour au pouvoir en Israël à cause de la prophétie de Zacharie 14:02. Il a dit que la moitié de Jérusalem est "va être prise par la force, et vous avez besoin pour réaliser cela. Maintenant, cela pourrait aussi indiquer que le Likoud ou le parti conservateur, se mettra en puissance »(janv. 6, 2006).

Avec une aile de la coalition actuellement au pouvoir en Israël, qui nous rapproche un bond de géant prophétique plus proche de l'affrontement inévitable sur Jérusalem.

La lutte pour la Cité de David

Contrairement à son prédécesseur, Benjamin Netanyahu, Premier ministre fait campagne pour le maintien de Jérusalem-Unis. A un arrêt de campagne à l'Hôtel Regency sur le mont. Scopus, M. Netanyahu a déclaré: «Si nous avons renoncé à la moitié de Jérusalem, il y aurait un droit de base iranienne à proximité de cet hôtel."

International mépris pour cette ligne attitude plus difficile a été intense. Au début de Mars, par exemple, Israël a fait sauter pour son projet d'agrandissement du parc archéologique de la ville de David, ce qui nécessiterait la démolition de dizaines de maisons palestiniennes qui ont été construites il ya illégalement au cours des 20 dernières années. Cela en dépit du fait que, en vertu du régime, non seulement serait-Orient friches Jérusalem être convertis en de beaux jardins et parcs, mais le séjour irrégulier serait également reçu des colis de généreuses compensations, ce qui inclurait les terres de réinstallation.

Lors de sa visite dans la région de Mars, secrétaire d'Etat américaine Hillary Clinton a déclaré que tout plan qui prévoit la démolition de maisons palestiniennes ne serait pas aider le processus de paix.

Nir Barkat, le nouveau maire de Jérusalem, a critiqué Clinton d'être dupé par la propagande palestinienne. L'Autorité palestinienne a accusé Israël de "nettoyage ethnique" à Jérusalem-Est afin de "judaïser" la ville.

L'Union européenne a également sévèrement critiqué Israël. Selon un rapport confidentiel de l'Union européenne qui a été divulgué aux médias en Mars, les fonctionnaires de l'UE ont accusé Israël de "poursuivre activement l'annexion illégale" de Jérusalem-Est (c'est nous qui soulignons).

Benjamin Netanyahu le gouvernement s'est engagé à aller de l'avant avec ce plan pluriannuel de développement alors même que les critiques fustiger le gouvernement pour rendre plus difficile de diviser Jérusalem dans le cadre d'une solution à deux-état. Un fonctionnaire du Bureau de Netanyahu qui a défendu la position du gouvernement a déclaré au Times de Londres, «Jérusalem est la capitale éternelle du peuple juif pour les quelque 3.000 ans et restera la capitale unifiée de l'État d'Israël."

Maire Barkat, comme le Premier Ministre Benyamin Nétanyahou, soutient garder Jérusalem unie. Sous la direction de Barkat, les autorités de Jérusalem a récemment envoyé des avis d'expulsion de 90 familles à Jérusalem-Est près de la vieille ville, avertissant que parce que leurs maisons avaient été construites sans l'approbation du conseil proprement dit, ils seraient démolis.

Dans une interview avec le Jerusalem Post, Barkat a défendu les plans de la municipalité de la ville en disant: «Je voudrais voir ce que [maire de New York Michael] Bloomberg dirais illégale de bâtiment au sujet de Central Park. Aurait-il renoncer à Central Park, car il est illégal de construire là-bas?

La bataille pour la ville de David, situé dans le quartier arabe de Silwan, est un microcosme d'une lutte plus vaste qui sera bientôt la poussée toute la ville de Jérusalem dans un chaudron bouillant de haine et de violence.

Devenir une zone de guerre

La tension entre Palestiniens et Juifs a considérablement augmenté après la guerre de Gaza en Janvier. Il intensifié après les élections du Premier ministre Netanyahu et le maire de Barkat. Beaucoup de mouvements d'extrême droite juive, revigoré par les nouvelles du gouvernement le refus de la céder aux palestiniens ambition, connaissent une renaissance.

Cela ne veut pas dire que la cause palestinienne est battage. En fait, il est trop gagne du terrain, Merci à accroître et indirectes de soutien direct de la communauté internationale, notamment de l'administration américaine de Barack Obama.

Jérusalem, en particulier à Jérusalem-Est, se détériore rapidement dans une zone de guerre!

Prenons un peu de récents événements. Le 2 avril, dans la ville de la Banque ouest de Bat Ayin, près de Jérusalem-Est, un Palestinien brandissant une pioche piraté a-ans israélienne garçon de 13 à mort et blessé son année-vieil ami 7. Les groupes terroristes islamistes du Jihad islamique et le Groupe Imad Mughniyeh revendiqué la responsabilité de l'assassiner, avertissement inquiétant que c'était simplement une réponse naturelle "aux crimes de l'occupation."

Le même jour, vers 2 h dans le quartier musulman de la vieille ville de Jérusalem, sept colons juifs ont fait irruption dans la maison de Nasser Jaber, un homme d'affaires palestiniens qui avaient quitté la maison pendant les rénovations ont été fait. Affirmant qu'ils propriétaire de la maison, les colons remplacé les serrures et a repris la maison.

En avril, un Palestinien au volant d'une voiture a tenté d'écraser des policiers israéliens. La police, qui ont suivi la démolition de la maison de Jérusalem du terroriste palestinien qui a tué trois Israéliens dans un déchaînement bulldozer dernière Juillet, tiré sur le défunt. Par la suite, une bagarre a éclaté entre des policiers et des dizaines de Palestiniens en colère qui sympathisaient avec le conducteur du véhicule et le terrorisme dont la maison avait été rasée.

Le lendemain, un porte-parole de l'aile militaire du Hamas a fait une électrisante réponse prophétique aux efforts déployés par Israël pour se défendre contre les intrusions illégales arabes. Un responsable du Hamas Abu Ubayda "menacé Israël d'une« explosion »si elle continue à consolider le contrôle de Jérusalem,« le Ma'an a rapporté l'agence Nouvelles. Ubayda a également averti que «la judaïsation de Jérusalem et une menace pour la célèbre mosquée al-Aqsa pourrait provoquer des représailles."

les rues pavées de Jérusalem sont grondement, la tension monte, la guerre se prépare. C'est à réfléchir. Mais il est aussi incroyablement excitant.

Cette intensification du conflit se traduira par la division prophétisé de Jérusalem, qui est l'élément déclencheur qui va déclencher une séquence-le-feu rapide des événements qui ont abouti au retour du Messie sur le Mont des Oliviers à Jérusalem (Zacharie 14:4).

"Lorsque la moitié de Jérusalem tombe», le rédacteur en chef Gerald Flurry écrit en Mars 2006 ", il commence une réaction en chaîne d'événements-une avalanche de crises qui mène directement à Second Coming du Christ!" C'est pourquoi, même au cours économiques, politiques , sociaux et personnels malheur, nous ne devons pas détourner les yeux de Jérusalem.

Manifestations dans cette ville sont la mesure de la façon dont nous sommes proches de l'événement le plus impressionnant de l'histoire humaine!

Logiquement, l'accent de droite Jésus est maintenant de veiller à Jérusalem, son aire d'atterrissage, est prêt pour son retour. D'une manière spectaculaire, les conditions aujourd'hui à Jérusalem-politique, démographique, économique, même archéologique sont-alignement comme le Christ décrit dans la Bible les 2.000 ans!

Nous avons besoin de regarder plus près que jamais de Jérusalem. Même maintenant, les événements dans cette ville indiquent que le retour du Messie est imminente, et que le temps approche rapidement quand il se transformer Jérusalem en exactement ce que son nom signifie: une ville de la paix!

à son meilleur stupidité - par Bowen het

Il s'agit d'une question très discutable en ce qui concerne les personnes gardant les bêtes comme animaux de compagnie dans leur maison et je vais simplement dire quelques faits sur ces animaux. automne chimpanzés dans la même catégorie même de lions, des tigres et des ours. Ils sont sauvages tous, indépendamment de combien de temps ils ont été avec un propriétaire. Si ce monstre été verrouillé dans une cage puis bon ami du propriétaire de la n'aurait pas besoin d'obtenir une greffe du visage. Si cette femme vit sa vie sera toujours modifié pour tous les autres jours elle. Ce singe était de 200 livres. Ils ont super force humaine. Comment peut-on lutter contre un tel animal?

Les animaux de ce genre ont absolument pas lieu d'être autorisés à vivre avec les humains dans la sécurité minimum et libre de blesser ou de tuer un autre être humain. Un enfant aurait eu aucune chance. Ils sont WILD indépendamment de combien de temps ils ont été fait avec son propriétaire. Les films tels que Bambi et Winnie l'ourson devrait être interdit. Je ne saurais vous dire combien de personnes meurent chaque année de l'idée que ces animaux ont père et fils relations comme un cerf comme dans Bambi. mate chevreuil chaque année et tout comme un homme désolé vaque à ses affaires avec la moindre pensé au printemps éteint. Je déteste ces fantasmes Disney Land. Les animaux ne retient pas la culpabilité. Ils agissent tous sur l'instinct, en particulier quand il s'agit de tuer avec l'intention de manger ou vous frightned ou pour une raison quelconque.

Lions et tigres la même chose. Le propriétaire de ce chimpanzé démon doit être entièrement responsable de cette chose terrible qui est arrivé à son voisin. Il ressort du propriétaire n'avait même pas une arme à feu à même de tuer le singe. La police a dû le faire après il leur a fallu quelque part autour de 12 minutes pour répondre à la scène? D'ici là, les mains et le visage des victimes étaient en lambeaux. Il n'a pas d'importance combien de sang et de gore un animal fait .... Vous êtes juste comme mort.

Allez sur YouTube et regardez certains de ces soi-disant, "pet" tue le propriétaire, ... ... ect. Ils sont sauvages et des années de voir cela se produise gens n'ont tout simplement pas. Pensez-vous un râle animal serpent aurait tout hesistation de mordre un os tête tout plus vite que s'il était accosté à l'état sauvage. Je ne crois pas. Si vous venez d'avoir un animal exotique puis allez à votre cour et attraper un lézard et alimentent les mouches ou les grillons.

Les gens qui capture des serpents et de garder dans leur maison sont possédés. Fin de cela. Les gens continuent à être stupide ... .. Vous entendez?

Chimp Pet est tué après déchire femme (17 Février 2009)

"Même si elle reste dans un état critique mais stable, ses signes vitaux sont en amélioration, le Dr Kevin Miller, le chirurgien à Stamford Hospital, a déclaré lors d'une conférence de nouvelles. «Nous sommes reconnaissants que nous sommes en mesure d'annoncer que Charla Nash a fait de bons progrès, mais les petits."

Scott Orstad, un porte-parole de l'hôpital, a déclaré dans une interview que ses signes vitaux étaient «un effet positif énorme pour quelqu'un qui avait le montant de la chirurgie, elle avait dans les 72 premières heures."

"Elle n'est pas encore sorti du bois encore, dit-il," mais elle s'améliore. "

Mme Nash était allé à la maison de l'ami Stamford, Sandra Herold, pour aider à calmer Mme Herold ans animal chimpanzé 14, Travis, lorsque l'animal a attaqué. M. Orstad dit que la famille de Mme Nash a été consultant auprès de ses médecins sur les mesures à prendre à côté. Une solution pourrait être une greffe du visage, mais il a dit que la décision n'avait pas été faite.

«Je ne sais pas si ils sont allés à ce niveau, dit-il. «Les médecins sont encore déterminer si ce qui sera nécessaire. Cette rumeur est encore prématuré de genre. La décision finale n'a pas encore été prise. "

Dans la ligne de mire - Intelligence Report

Il ya très peu de chances que le gouvernement du Mexique sera en mesure d'établir l'intégrité dans ses organismes d'application de la loi, ou rétablir l'ordre à des portions importantes du pays, dans un proche avenir. La corruption officielle et l'incompétence sont endémiques au Mexique, ce qui signifie que les citoyens mexicains et les étrangers en visite devra faire face à la menace d'enlèvement dans un avenir prévisible. Nous croyons que pour les civils et les étrangers en visite, la menace d'enlèvement dépasse la menace d'être frappé par une balle perdue à partir d'un échange de tirs entente. En effet, les choses se détériorent tellement que même les négociateurs enlèvement professionnelle , autrefois considérée comme la clé d'une garantie de paiement, sont désormais eux-mêmes enlevés. Dans une tournure encore plus incroyable de l'ironie, les autorités anti-kidnapping sont enlevés et exécutés.

Cet environnement - et les préoccupations qu'il a suscité - a fourni d'énormes possibilités de financement pour l'industrie de la sécurité privée au Mexique. Les ventes de voitures blindées sont passés par le toit, de même que le nombre de gardiens en uniforme et de protection du personnel de direction. En fait, la demande de personnel est si aiguë que les sociétés de sécurité se démènent pour trouver des candidats. Une telle bousculade présente une foule de problèmes évidents, allant du manque de qualifications pour le contrôle de l'insuffisance. En plus façonné des services de sécurité-vieux, des nouvelles technologies des entreprises de sécurité sont également encaissement sur le climat de peur, mais même technologie de suivi des dispositifs de haute-peut avoir des inconvénients significatifs et les lacunes .

and actually increases vulnerability. Pour de nombreuses personnes, des véhicules blindés et des gardes du corps armé ne peut donner un faux sentiment de sécurité, et la technologie peuvent devenir mortels béquille qui favorise la complaisance et même augmente la vulnérabilité. mesures de sécurité physique ne suffisent pas. La présence de gardes du corps armés - ou des gardes armés combinés avec des véhicules blindés - ne fournit pas une sécurité absolue. Cela est particulièrement vrai au Mexique, où de grandes équipes d'hommes armés procèdent régulièrement à des crimes en utilisant des munitions militaires. Franchement, il ya très peu de détails protection de cadres dans le monde qui ont la formation et l'armement de résister à un assaut par des dizaines d'assaillants armés de fusils d'assaut et de grenades propulsées par fusée. gardes de sécurité privés sont souvent dépassés par mexicaine NALS criminelle et tués ou forcés de fuir pour leur propre sécurité. , countersurveillance and protective intelligence. Comme nous l'avons noté en mai 2008 après l'assassinat de Edgar Millan Gomez , chef par intérim de la police fédérale du Mexique et le rang le plus élevé du gouvernement fédéral flic au Mexique, les mesures de sécurité physique doivent être complétées par conscience de la situation , et l'intelligence countersurveillance de protection.

Rechercher des criminels et d'exploiter les vulnérabilités. Leurs chances de succès augmentent considérablement si elles sont autorisées à exercer une surveillance à volonté et ont la possibilité de bien évaluer le programme de sécurité. Nous avons vu plusieurs cas au Mexique où les criminels ont même choisi d'attaquer en dépit des mesures de sécurité. Dans de tels cas, l'attaque des criminels de ressources suffisantes pour surmonter de sécurité existantes. Par exemple, si il ya des agents de protection, les assaillants plan pour les neutraliser en premier. Si il est un véhicule blindé, ils trouveront les moyens pour vaincre l'armure ou de saisir la cible à laquelle il ou elle est à l'extérieur du véhicule. Pour cette raison, les criminels ne doivent pas être autorisés à exercer une surveillance à volonté.

Comme de nombreux crimes, l'enlèvement est un processus. Il ya certaines étapes qui doivent être prises pour procéder à un enlèvement et certains moments durant le processus d'exécution lorsque ceux qu'elle sont vulnérables à la détection. Bien que ces étapes peuvent être condensés et accompli assez rapidement dans un enlèvement ad hoc Express, elles sont néanmoins suivies. En effet, en raison des mesures notamment liées à la conduite d'un enlèvement, le processus n'est pas différente de celle suivie pour exécuter une attaque terroriste . Les étapes communes sont le choix des cibles, la planification, le déploiement, l'attaque, de fuite et d'exploitation.

Comme les auteurs d'une attaque terroriste, les personnes effectuant un enlèvement sont les plus vulnérables à la détection quand ils effectuent une surveillance - avant qu'ils ne soient prêts à déployer et à mener leur attaque. Comme nous l'avons noté à plusieurs reprises dans les analyses antérieures, l'un des secrets de countersurveillance est que la plupart des criminels ne sont pas très bien en exerçant une surveillance. La raison principale qu'ils réussissent, c'est que personne ne regarde pour eux.

Bien sûr, les ravisseurs sont également très évidente une fois ils lancent leurs attaques, tirer leurs armes et peut-être même de commencer à tirer. A cette époque, cependant, il pourrait très bien être trop tard pour échapper à leur attaque. Ils ont choisi leur site d'attaque et les forces employées ils estiment avoir besoin pour terminer l'opération. Alors que les ravisseurs pourraient saboter le fonctionnement et l'objectif peut sortir indemne, il n'est tout simplement pas pratique de ses espoirs sur cette possibilité. Il est nettement préférable de repérer les ravisseurs début et d'éviter leur piège avant qu'il ne soit suspendu et les fusils sortent.

Nous avons vu de nombreux cas de personnes au Mexique avec la sécurité armés été enlevés , et nous croyons que nous allons probablement voir davantage de cas de ce dans les prochains mois. Cette tendance est due non seulement à la présence de criminels fortement armés et agressifs et la mauvaise qualité de certains membres du personnel de sécurité, mais aussi aux personnes faisant confiance uniquement à la sécurité physique réactive. Ignorant la valeur réelle de la critique, des mesures proactives, telles que conscience de la situation, countersurveillance et l'intelligence de protection peut être une erreur fatale.

The Watcher de Chet Bowen

Les prix du pétrole ont plongé - bien que brièvement - en dessous de 40 $ US le baril, une chute abrupte de leurs sommets de plus de US $ 147 le baril en Juillet. Tout comme les prix élevés du pétrole retravaillé économiques ordre international, bas prix du pétrole sont en train de faire la même chose. Cette apparition soudaine d'une faiblesse des prix des impacts du système international juste aussi sévèrement que des niveaux record ces dernières années.

Mais avant de nous plonger dans le court terme (qui est, jusqu'à 12 mois) l'impact de l'environnement de prix, nous devons exprimer notre position dans le débat du prix du pétrole. Nous avons longtemps été perplexe quant à la hausse et un déplacement ultérieur des marchés pétrole de 2005 à 2008. Certes, la demande mondiale a été forte, mais une variété de facteurs tels que les chiffres de production et les stocks de plus en plus de pétrole brut semble plaider contre-la hausse des prix jamais. Certains de nos amis a souligné le monde complexe des produits dérivés et les contrats à terme, qui selon eux, avaient créé une demande artificielle. C'est peut-être vrai, mais l'essentiel est que, fondée sur les principes, les numéros de pétrole n'a pas beaucoup de sens.

Les choses ont clarifié beaucoup de retard. Nous sommes maintenant face à un environnement dans lequel les États-Unis, l'Europe et le Japon sont en récession, tandis que la Chine est, à tout le moins très, s'attendant à voir sa croissance ralentir fortement. La demande de brut dans le monde est plus fortement coulissantes même de l'Organisation des pays exportateurs de pétrole du pétrole (OPEP) les États membres à ce jour semblent incapables (ou, dans le cas de l'Arabie saoudite, peut-être voulu ) pour rendre la profonde coupes nécessaires dans la production qui pourrait enrayer la chute des prix. L'essentiel, c'est que, tandis que la vitesse à couper le souffle au cours de laquelle les prix se sont effondrés nous a quelque peu pris par surprise, la direction et la profondeur de la chute n'a pas.

Les prix sont susceptibles de rester bas pendant un certain temps. La plupart des installations de stockage du monde - telles que la Réserve stratégique de pétrole des États-Unis - sont pleins à ras bord, d'importantes réductions sont donc nécessaires, simplement pour éviter un surplus massif. Pourtant, toute réduction de la production OPEP - l'entente répond le 17 décembre et de fortes réductions sont attendues - va prendre des mois pour avoir un impact mesurable, en particulier dans un contexte de récession. Et il ya la question d'échelle simple. Le marché mondial du pétrole est une bête: la demande totale est actuellement d'environ 86 millions de barils par jour. Ce n'est pas un marché qui peut tourner sur un dix sous. Une entreprise qui fait va à l'encontre de la sagesse conventionnelle veut que l'huile se situe en fait bien plus vite qu'il augmente lorsque les fondamentaux sont déséquilibrés. Cela s'est produit à plusieurs reprises, et pas si longtemps.

Chutes ont eu lieu au lendemain de la guerre du golfe Persique de 1990-1991 et à la suite de la crise financière asiatique de 1997-1998 qui ont été similaires en termes de pourcentage de la baisse actuelle. Jusqu'à ce que l'équilibre entre l'offre et la demande est restruck - quelque chose ne devrait pas jusqu'à ce qu'une reprise économique mondiale est en bonne voie - il n'ya aucune raison de s'attendre à une reprise significative des prix. Le voyage, bien sûr, n'est pas nécessairement un aller simple un. Quirks dans toutes sortes de conditions météorologiques à la navigation à l'émeute nigériane et les mouvements militaires russes peuvent fixer les prix giratoire, mais les fondamentaux sont clairement baissière. Il prendra probablement plusieurs mois pour les autres fonctions de base de la nouvelle réalité de changer grand-chose.

bas prix du pétrole créent des gagnants et des perdants sur la scène internationale. Premièrement, la liste des gagnants.

De loin le plus grand gagnant de la baisse des prix de façon drastique est le plus grand consommateur mondial de pétrole et de l'importateur: les États-Unis. Les deux dernières années de prix élevés ont donné naissance à un consommateur effort américain soutenu pour s'en tirer avec moins de pétrole par un mélange de conservation et le passage à un kilométrage des véhicules mieux . Que ce modèle d'achat d'automobiles dure n'est pas en cause. Le fait est que cela s'est déjà produit: Beaucoup d'Américains ont déjà déplacé à plus haut rendement du carburant des véhicules. De même que l'obsession des années 1990 avec des véhicules utilitaires sport artificiellement stimulé la demande d'essence américaine aussi longtemps que ces automobiles étaient sur la route, de sorte que la nouvelle flotte de voitures hybrides et à puce va pousser la demande dans la direction opposée pendant une période prolongée.

Globalement la consommation de pétrole des États-Unis a chuté de près de 9 pour cent de son niveau record en août 2007 à Novembre 2008, selon le Département américain de l'énergie. Combiner cela avec la baisse des prix depuis Juillet se traduit par des économies d'énergie des États-Unis d'environ 1,95 milliard de dollars au prix de 50 $ US le baril et 2,1 G $ US au prix de 40 $ US le baril. Et c'est des économies de coûts par jour. En période de récession, que les fonds iront un long chemin à instaurer la confiance et freine la récession.

Suivant sur la liste sont les principaux importateurs européens de pétrole brut: l'Allemagne, l'Italie et l'Espagne. En règle générale, les économies européennes sont moins énergivores que les États-Unis, mais à force de mélange de carburant et le manque de production intérieure de ces trois grands Etats sont obligés de compter sur des quantités importantes de pétrole importé. Nous excluons les autres grandes économies européennes à partir de cette liste car ils sont soit principaux producteurs de pétrole eux-mêmes (le Royaume-Uni et les Pays-Bas) ou leurs économies sont extrêmement efficaces de pétrole (France, Belgique et Suède). Ne nous méprenons pas - les Etats de l'UE sont tous très heureux de constater que les prix du pétrole ont composé le dos. Néanmoins, en termes de gain relatif, l'Allemagne, l'Italie et l'Espagne sont les vrais gagnants. Et avec l'Europe face à une récession plus profonde et plus susceptible que celui des États-Unis, les Européens ont besoin tous les ans advant qu'ils peuvent obtenir.

L'Inde, loin de l'Europe, culturellement et géographiquement, arbore une structure économique similaire un peu en ce qu'il possède (ou souffre d', en fonction de votre point de vue) d'une base d'industrialisation qui est fortement tributaire des importations de pétrole. De façon générale, les Indiens sont dans le même panier que l'Espagne en ce qu'elles sont voraces consommateurs d'énergie qui ont vu leur demande de monter en flèche ces dernières années. Entre le 26 novembre Mumbai attaque , les prochaines élections fédérales et la douleur prix de l'énergie à partir plus tôt dans l'année, le gouvernement cherche désespérément à passer sur les économies de coûts à la population pour consolider son soutien.

Puis il ya les pays de l'Est asiatique de la Corée du Sud, la Chine et le Japon (dans l'ordre décroissant de la quantité de chacun bénéficie de la baisse des prix). All import massive amounts of crude oil, but we put them at the end of the list of winners because of their financial systems. In East Asia — and particularly in China and Japan — money is not allocated on the basis of rate of return or profitability as it is in the West. Instead, the concern is maximizing employment. It does not matter much in East Asia if one's business plan is sound; the government will provide cheap loans so long one employs hordes of people. One side effect of this strategy is that firms can get loans for anything, including raw materials they otherwise could not afford — such as oil at US$147 a barrel.

Therefore, high oil prices just do not affect East Asia as badly as they affect the West. Just as the East Asian financial system mutes the impact of high prices, the converse is true as well. 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.

Le Mexique a acheté des contrats dérivés qui, en substance, d'assurer le prix de tous ses exportations de pétrole pour 2009 . Donc, si les prix restent bas, le revenu réel du Mexique sera inchangé. Nous avons seulement inclure le Mexique dans la liste des perdants, donc, parce que c'est assez rare dans la géopolitique que la planification de ces travaux fait comme prévu. Les ouragans et les grèves se produire. (Mexique est également confronté au problème d'insuffisance de fonds, l'expertise et la technologie pour contrer le déclin de sortie rapide, quelque chose qui va en sortir avec un manque de pétrole à vendre en premier lieu - mais c'est une question plus pour 2012 que l'année 2009.)

Comme pour le Canada, la plupart de l'huile qu'il produit vient de la province de l'Alberta, le siège du pouvoir du Parti conservateur. À l'heure actuelle, le gouvernement canadien est vacillant comme une toupie ralentissement. Voyant «puissance de base de la conservateurs prennent un énorme succès économique en raison de prix du pétrole n'est pas le genre de complication, le gouvernement doit dès maintenant. À plus long terme, l'Alberta a récemment augmenté les taxes sur les projets de sables bitumineux . Extraction des sables bitumineux est parmi les plus intensives en capital et technologiquement difficile sortes de production de pétrole actuellement possible. Combiner les modifications fiscales avec la nature de la subindustry et le prix baisse récente et il est susceptible d'être précieux d'intérêt peu d'investissements dans l'huile durant ING - au minimum - 2009.

La plupart des lecteurs de prendre note du pays, nous avons choisi de ne pas inscrire sur la liste des États vulnérables. Il s'agit notamment de la majeure partie des pays de l'OPEP - en particulier l'Angola, l'Iraq, le Koweït, l'Arabie Saoudite, Emirats Arabes Unis, le Qatar et la Libye. Tous ces Etats comptent pétrole comme l'exportation de sens que (à l'exception des Émirats arabes unis et le Qatar, qui a également l'exportation de gaz naturel), alors pourquoi se sent-on ces pays ne sont pas dans la zone de danger?

Pour sa part, l'Angola n'est devenue un important producteur récemment. La quasi-totalité de la production pétrolière angolaise est des projets offshore contrôlées par des étrangers - arrêt de cette production est une affaire très délicate pour un pays qui est totalement dépendante des technologies étrangères pour exploiter son sens de l'industrie seulement. But the primary reason Angola is not feeling the heat is that most of its income has not been spent but instead has been stashed away due to a lack of the necessary physical and personnel infrastructure needed to leverage the income.

Iraq is in a somewhat similar position as far as finances are concerned. While Iraq has been producing crude for decades, its current government is only a few years old, and its institutions simply cannot allocate the monies involved. Despite massive outlays by both Iraq and Angola, their respective governments simply lack the capacity to spend, and so have stored up cash accounts worth US$26 billion and US$54 billion respectively.

The rest of the Arab oil producers warrant a much simpler explanation: They've been fiscally conservative. While all have shared the wealth with their somewhat restive populations, none of them has repeated the mistakes of the 1970s, when they overspent on gaudy buildings and overcommitted themselves to expensive social programs. All have been saving vast amounts of cash, with the Saudis alone probably having more than US$1 trillion socked away. Tiny Kuwait officially has a wealth fund worth more than US$250 billion.

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.

The first order of business will be a report from GrEaT sAtAn'S gIrLfRiEnD with the Military Advisors Manual . 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.

Vindication. 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 . Rappelez-vous? This is one of the many areas that I have major issues with President Bush. It wasn't politically expedient to make this known. Pourquoi? I have no 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”? Yes, I did. 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.”

Encore confus? 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,

«Nous avons fait« de toutes nos forces. " 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)
