Best article on the current financial crisis I have seen. Explains what got us here and how we need to deal with it.

Which direction should you go?

Which direction should you go? Typically you should always go the opposite direction of the flow. Today the leaders of this nation are wailing and gnashing their teeth over the failure of the American Voters to give the banks and wall street 700 Billion dollars. They scream "The Sky will Fall the Sky will Fall!" and accuse the voters of ignorance to the gravity of the situation. We are too dumb to realize what will happen if we don't give them a blank check.

Maybe a good portion of the populace are not ready for socialism? Because that is what this is.

Maybe a good portion of the populace are not ready for hyper inflation?

Maybe we are prepared to pay the price of Congress' and the President's mismanagement of the country with a recession.

President Bush fails the Elite Bankers

Today, President Bush failed to bring America's Dollar down and as such let down the World's Elite Bankers - i.e. Rothschild's / Rockerfellers / Warburgs etc...

His daddy must be ashamed of him.

The dollar isn't totally valueless.

The AMERO will have to wait. The North American Union will have to wait.

Wait... what if Israel hits Iran.... yeah that will do it. Oil will stop flowing. Inflation will sky rocket. That is what we want... "Cheney! tell them jews that they gotz the green light to bomb them Aaarabs. Now that will fix it. Good bye Dollar. Hello AMERO."

HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal - calls for United Europe/Africa/Middle East

Care UK

September 25, 2008

 HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal

 

 

EUMENA Water and Energy Community:

A Regional Commons for Human Security

 

 

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

It is a great honor and pleasure to speak once again to the dedicated people of CARE, which after sixty years remains one of the world’s foremost humanitarian agencies, providing assistance to more than seventy countries. It is to your lasting credit that CARE continues to pursue a multifaceted approach in addressing the underlying causes of poverty through both emergency relief and sustainable development. CARE is truly a beacon of interdependence and hope in this disjointed world.

 

When I accepted the CARE International Humanitarian Award in 1995, I noted the world’s contradictory progress in tackling absolute poverty:

 

                Humanitarian aid that treats symptoms while

                   ignoring or obscuring causes is worse than no

                   aid at all, for it propagates the idea of inevitability.

                   The public comes to believe that human suffering

                   is inevitable, and so inured, ceases to care about it.

 

Now, thirteen years later, having felt the full brutal impact of economic globalization at our local levels, I think we are beginning to recognize another factor in our fight against poverty -- the unconscious assumption that our social organizations are always working with us and for us, and surely not against us

 

From State Security to Human Security

We know from our dusty books of history that the development of human civilization in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and pre-Columbian Mexico and Peru became possible only through the management of regional water systems. By increasing the food supply through large-scale waterworks for irrigated farming and flood control, administered water sources allowed tiny villages to grow into towns and cities that could support large non-farming populations. That’s the good news -- the antiquity lesson we largely remember. The bad news is that water management in many of these early governments required absolutist control by a political monopoly. We too easily forget that a despotic social system of state violence and slavery was the price that many of our ancestors were forced to pay for the personal security of water, agriculture, and civilization. ^[1]

 

I’m reminded, too, of John Davis’ poignant essay, “The Anthropology of Suffering”, which suggests that our social organizations are unable to account for the human pain that results from social disruption.^[2] As you are aware, there is a tendency today to view the sources of affliction and suffering in the world’s poor nations as externalities which fall beyond the bounds of our own harmonious social systems. The present multilateral arrangement of sovereign reciprocity encourages us to believe that no one is ultimately responsible for poverty or extremism in this world, that these conditions are somehow unaccountable. When discrimination based on ethnicity or gender takes place in foreign nations, for example, we rationalize that our own state bears no responsibility to intervene in human rights violations, emergencies or conflicts that occur across sovereign borders. World hunger, disease and social displacement are thus dismissed as part of the unfortunate but necessary collateral damage that litters the historical road from political subjugation to modern democracy. We have vast libraries of studies proving to us that failed states are simply a matter of the poor of the world lagging behind the development curve, lacking capacity, good governance and the rule of law becausethey do not build viable social networks.

 

I am humbled, almost embarrassed, especially before experts such as yourselves, in challenging this tautology. But with respect, because of the urgency of our situation, may I suggest that we all take a fresh look at what is occurring in front of us. Humanitarian assistance agencies have long maintained that individuals must be directly involved in their own development. This seems self-evident -- by now it’s become an axiom -- that ‘people must stand up for themselves, harness their own energies, maximize their potentials, and build their futures through self-reliance’. But I think it’s time we asked, how is our self-participation in development truly possible when national jurisdictions and institutions rarely line up with the actual geographical regions that contain our ecosystems, social and cultural groups and diasporas, leaving us without effective rules to cooperate in the management of our common areas where human and social development typically occurs? How can we take part in our own development when the public and private sectors restrict our use of the material, environmental, genetic, social, cultural and intellectual goods that rightly belong to every one of us?

 

There are many types of common resources that become endangered when sovereign states and property owners exclude or prevent their shared supervision. And when the local users of resources are not organized, do not communicate, lack trust, and have no effective means of changing the rules of resource oversight or administration, a tragedy of the commons results. Resources become overused and degraded, which leads to acute social problems, marginalization and breakdown. That’s why people around the world who are connected to the local commons on a daily basis are recognizing that the protection and regeneration of our common goods is not a matter of sovereign claims or private ownership --  it’s a matter of survival.

 

We are now reclaiming the commons as a wellspring of authenticity and resilience in this increasingly ‘flat, hot, and crowded’ world.^[3] In the face of uncertainty and despair resulting from social oppression, we maintain our well-being and social cohesion by remaining together and celebrating the cultural and ritual uniqueness of our common relationships. Despite the personal hardship and exclusion caused by the enclosure, commodification, and degradation of our resources, we preserve our cultures and ways of life through the distinctive fabric of our common spaces. And, even now, through the drought, hunger and displacement brought on by global warming, many of us are restoring our social bonds through the careful stewardship of our resources, sustaining those shared customs and practices which remind us of what it is to be human.

 

You and I may not live to see a borderless planet, but I believe we will soon be looking at the world’s resources from a much wider angle than we have in the past because we face a crisis now that clearly transcends the crumbling social structures consigned to us by sovereign states and private markets. Governments are incapable of managing cross-border cooperation for resources, since their mandate is primarily the allocation of public goods within their borders. International business cannot organize transborder cooperation because their province is private goods in the marketplace. Responsibility for our cross-border resources must be undertaken through the self-organization and collective action of individuals, civil society, and supra-national organizations.Unlike the world’s public and private sectors,our commons sector has deep experience in the supervision of living systems, both locally and transnationally. Whether biological or psychosocial, our ecologies require vigilance and care, and it is only through this mindful safekeeping of our common resources that we transcend the illusions of state and consumer security, restoring our dignity as civilized human beings through true human security.

 

 

Regional Social Charter for Europe, Middle East & North Africa

In this connection, I would like to propose a Mediterranean commons involving the European Union, the Middle East, and North Africa (or EUMENA). According to the World Population Prospects of the United Nations, the population of the EU region will stabilize at around 600 million while MENA will double to about 600 million by the middle of this century.^[4] Other recent studies indicate that global warming is likely to undermine political stability in the MENA region, which is already vulnerable to drought, flooding, extreme weather, and reduced agricultural output, particularly where subsistence is the key to survival. A temperature increase of one degree C by 2020 would dramatically increase water scarcity. Virtually all states in the Middle East are likely to suffer from a range of problems caused by global warming, including humanitarian disasters, food shortages, social tensions, environmental degradation, the destabilization of domestic stability, clashes over land ownership, terrorism, migration, and the spread of infectious disease. This would undoubtedly lead to disputes over access to increasingly scarce resources, such as food, water, and energy. Climate-driven conflict is already affecting many people in the region.

 

We have a civic responsibility to engage in areas of transborder crisis where our state and private sectors have little jurisdiction, authority, or experience. As citizens -- regardless of our sovereign obligations -- we must speak for our region en masse in matters concerning the welfare of our people when it’s clear that threats like climate change are profoundly affecting our region’s carrying capacity. The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights guarantees to each of us the freedom from want and fear and we must fully claim these rights. The imminent dangers of global warming to the carrying capacity of our region -- the degree to which our common resources can sustain the population -- vests us with a moral authority and social legitimacy to make transborder decisions and create a regional social charter that ensures our rights to survival and security.

 

To this end, I believe that citizen groups in the EUMENA region should organize a non-partisan Water and Energy Community -- an institutional framework providing new incentives for the management and protection of common resources. This calls for the support and involvement of people across the region who depend on water and energy for their livelihood or who value it dearly -- which includes practically everyone. Rules for the maintenance and preservation of our water and energy commons would thus be developed through the collective action of citizens, civil society, social networks, academics, scientists, agronomists, bilateral donors, development partners and regional organizers -- as well as national governments and the private sector. They would ensure that administrative power is decentralized from state authorities to communities or customary representatives in order to maintain local and community access to the commons and its common goods. The governance of our cross-border water and energy resources would involve three main functions:

 

1. A Stakeholder Consultation Process

•   to form discussion groups and committees

•   create forums with neighboring villages

•   build associations to share information among community members

•   ensure monitoring and enforcement

•   develop mechanisms for conflict resolution

•   identify a development plan

•   create funding for administration

 

2. A Commons for the Protection of Local Welfare

•   to recognize customary rights and ownership

•   safeguard indigenous wisdom, traditional practice and culture

•   draw on cultural endowments and knowledge of local resources to develop innovative institutions that fit local conditions

•   create partnerships between communities and civil society or other institutions to increase support for local action

•   support direct action linked to commons issues

•   promote zoning of resource use

•   identify land tenure concerns

•   monitor human rights and create legal protections for the poor

•   develop proposals for legislative reform

 

3. A Regional Security Organization

•   to create a conference on transborder security and cooperation

•   develop transborder security and stability agreements

•   intervene in cross-border emergencies and conflicts

•   create a cohesion fund for the region’s most vulnerable people

 

These are some elements of a commons approach for security and cooperation which the EUMENA Water and Energy Community could formalize through a social charter, a code of conduct, and new sources of financing to improve the quality of life and personal dignity for the people of the region.

 

 

Water: Sustainable Management and Desalination

Based on the estimated differences between available sources of renewable freshwater and the growing demand for water, many nations in the MENA region will be unable to produce enough food for their populations by 2025. Water consumption has been doubling every twenty years and clean water supplies are coming under enormous strains. It makes little sense for governments to subsidize water to grow food that is not native to the desert climate, when many of them are already challenged to develop water resources to support local farmers, gardeners and industry, as well as the daily needs of their citizens.

 

I believe the people of our region must build a regional institution for water management, strengthening cross-border cooperation through new treaties, laws and codes. For example, our regional community could develop agreements for the sharing of water resources, water and irrigation projects, and the sharing of expertise and data on drip irrigation, water absorption and transpiration of plants, watershed dynamics, water basins, sedimentation, withdrawal from aquifers, water storage, deterioration of water quality, expansion of irrigated land areas and increased hydropower demands.

 

A regional solution for sustainable supplies of freshwater must be found. At present, water reserves are being hastily exploited, resulting in the depletion of groundwater levels, intrusion of salt water into groundwater reservoirs (when the groundwater table sinks below the seawater table), and the rapid expansion of desert areas. It is evident that the freshwater crisis in the MENA region could be solved through seawater desalination. Yet current methods of producing seawater desalination require large amounts of fossil fuels and generate chemically treated water and salt brine, all of which damage the environment.  If the desalination of seawater were powered through large quantities of clean energy, rather than fossil fuels, the ecological impact would be significantly reduced. There is a workable solution: the MENA countries could provide energy for desalination through solar power from their deserts, turning the shorelines of North Africa and the Middle East into an unlimited source of freshwater for drinking, agriculture and other uses.

 

Energy: Solar Power from Deserts

Solar radiation from deserts is the largest accessible but least used form of energy on Earth -- a virtually inexhaustible supply of solar energy. On a daily basis, the world’s deserts receive about 700 times more energy from the sun than humanity presently consumes in fossil fuels. Only a small fraction of the deserts in the MENA region could produce energy equivalent to the entire production of Middle East oil -- enough power to provide EUMENA with all the electricity it needs, day and night.

 

The development of desert solar energy requires two technologies. First, Solar Thermal Power plants must be created using mirrors to concentrate sunlight for steam and power generation. Solar heat by day is stored in tanks of molten salt which is then used in the evening operation of the steam turbines. Second, this solar thermal energy must be transmitted to large centers of electricity demand. Although our present grids cannot transfer large amounts of electricity over long distances, power could be transmitted to outlying areas through the production and deployment of High-Voltage Direct-Current transmission lines.

 

Both of these technologies are available and their markets are expanding. Solar power production would be much cheaper than fossil fuel power at present cost levels and produce more than enough power to meet the growing demands of EUMENA. With European investment and technology, supplemental investment from Middle East oil-producing states, the use of Middle Eastern and North African desert sites, and the participation of people from across the region in the governance of the project, this transition to clean power could be accomplished in 10-15 years. 

 

 

EUMENA Water and Energy Community

As the EUMENA Water and Energy Community develops a coordinated framework and financing for the sustainable management of shared water and energy, the provision of other transborder goods and services should also be addressed. These include human development, education and skills, eradication of HIV / AIDS, malaria, and communicable diseases, agriculture, labour rights, transportation by roads, buses and trains, telecommunications and other utilities, infrastructure projects, emergency response and elimination of drug trafficking.

 

As a regional community, we have an opportunity to use our deserts and technology to develop energy, food and water security, along with climate security, while creating new jobs in the fields of water desalination, solar energy and other renewable resources, including geothermal, hydropower, biomass, wind, wave and photovoltaics. Sustainable governance of our commons would enable us to replace fossil fuels, solve our energy crisis, reduce carbon emissions and climate change, and protect the carrying capacity of the transborder area.

 

It is becoming clear that the mutual interests and interrelationships that connect states can create political stability through stronger bilateral ties. This would be especially welcome in the Middle East, where the longstanding Israeli-Palestinian conflict has riven people apart, causing social displacement, extremism and untold suffering. Either we move toward regional solutions through greater transparency, trust and cooperation across borders, enabling citizens and supra-national organizations to meet community, cultural and environmental needs -- or the region will continue to drift towards chaos and war.

 

It is unlikely that we will ever return to the conditions of ancient civilizations, where the management of critical resources like water required that society be guided by dictators. Yet, we must also recognize that the current practice of enclosing our common resources -- whether material, environmental, genetic, social, cultural or intellectual -- has made us numb to the oppression, neglect and discrimination that exist both in stateless and sovereign societies. Rather than ameliorate human suffering, our present forms of social organization based on public boundaries and private ownership perpetuate human pain and misery through ignorance, exclusivity, scarcity, social competition, organized violence and repression of women.

 

As this era of bellicose individualism and moral relativism winds down, many of us are taking solace and inspiration from our commons. The commons evokes a type of relationship which honors the value of mutuality and cooperation, rather than the organization of societies around competitive consumption and conflict over resources. A regional community which generates sustainable electricity and desalinated water through solar thermal power plants and other forms of renewable energy would clearly produce substantial economic growth -- and much more. A regional commons transcending nations, cultures, and politics could bring water, energy and climate security to Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. This collaboration and integration across borders could also revitalize civil society as commons organizations and lead to the creation of a social cohesion fund and new social charter, empowering the poor to improve their status and escape poverty through common welfare and human security.

 

There is a compelling historical precedent for the EUMENA Water and Energy Community. We remember the successful integration of the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951 which unified Western Europe, increased employment and raised the standard of living, created the foundations for democracy and launched the longest period of European peace in more than two thousand years. For the turbulent nations of the Middle East and North Africa, the creation of this kind of regional commons for human security could also lead to a new era of cooperation, peace and prosperity.

Indiana Father Kills Sex Offender Who Broke Into Home

Finally justice is served. This is how all Sex Offenders should be treated. Instead of trying to "treat" these people they should be executed.  Their crimes victimize the victim for the entire life of the victim.  The victim is never free of the pain and fear which is placed on them. In the case of children, their innocence is stolen and can never be returned. 

Therefore we should put all Child Molesters to death. It should be quick and immediate. One trial, one appeal and then the death penalty. 

America has got to stop this outrage. The death penalty will cure child molesters of their molesting. They are guaranteed never to molest again from the grave. They will have time to truly repent and embrace Yeshua while sitting on Death Row. 

Rosh Hashanah - The Day that No Man Knows

Matthew 24:36

"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only."

When Yeshua (Jesus) gave this discourse in Matthew many believe that it was given on the day we call, "Rosh Hashanah", the Jewish New Year, the day that the Shofar (Ram's Horn / Trumpet) is blown 100 times. The day of Rosh Hashanah is known as:

"The day that no one knows" by the Jews.

The reason for this is that the calender of the Jews is determined by the Moon. The first day of the month is determined by watchers who stand on the Mt. of Olives in Jerusalem and spy the Eastern Sky to spot the first sliver of the moon appearing after a New Moon. Once multiple witnesses have spotted it then they can set the calender for that month. Rosh Hashanah is called "the day that no man knows" because they cannot set the exact date of the day until the Moon is confirmed.

When Yeshua (Jesus) taught in Matthew 24:36, that "no man knows the day or the hour", the implication in the Jewish mindset is that the day of His return will be on "Rosh Hashanah", the Jewish New Year.

Today is the last year of the Jewish Calender. Tomorrow is Rosh Hashanah. With the events of the world unfolding, each Rosh Hashanah should be viewed with expectation and inward contemplation of our relationship with Yeshua (Jesus). We should take an inward inventory and seek G_d's perspective concerning our spiritual state. Revelation chapter 3 is clear that of the 7 Churches mentioned, only 2 will be Raptured/Spared the Coming Judgment while the other 5 will predominately be left behind. Some of the people from the 5 churches will be counted with the 2 Righteous Churches but for the most part the churches will be left to face the 7 year tribulation period with the rest of the World.

I am not predicting that the Trumpet will blow in the Heavens tomorrow but I am stating that Tomorrow could be the day. If so let it be.

The Assyrian - Don't look to Europe or USA for Antichrist

And this [one] shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. - Micah 5:5, 6

For 20 years I expected, as do many Believers, that the antichrist will rise up from Europe or maybe even the USA. Now I believe that my belief was wrong. The Word of G_d points to a leader rising up from the Middle East as being the "little horn".

It is true that the antichrist will come from the Roman Empire, but in the West, our pride prevents us from seeing past ourselves. The Roman Empire comprised all the nations which touched the Mediterranean Sea, including Syria, Babylon, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan.

Assyria actually is made up of parts of Babylon/Iraq, Turkey, and Syria.

Revelation 17:8

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, they whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come.

Some believe that this refers to the fact that the antichrist will have existed in the past and will be resurrected bodily. Given other passages, it would appear if this interpretation is correct that the antichrist is the person, Nimrod. The one who founded Babylon and Assyria. The one who built the Tower of Babel. The one whose very name means "to rebel".

I do not claim to know who the antichrist is but I do believe that he will rise up from the Middle East through an miraculous appearance such as one mentioned above or through the political realm such as Prince Hassan of Jordan.

There is a good chance that we, the true church, will never see this man because of the sounding of the Shofar on the "day that no man knows", i.e. Rosh Hashanah

Let it be.

IAEA - United Nations slams Israel for Destroying Illegal Syrian Nuke Facility??

The International Atomic Energy Agency - United Nations, publiclly rebuked the nation of Israel for defending itself in its' bombing and destruction of the Illegal Syrian Nuclear site at al-Kibar. The justification for this rebuke was that the IAEA is now inhibited from determining if the illegal site was North Korean in origin. So.... Israel should of waited for Syria to develop a viable war head, mount it on a missle or load it in a truck, and set it off in Tel-Aviv. Then the IAEA could have gone to Tel-Aviv to obtain fall out samples/soil samples to determine if North Korea was involved in the development of facility.

The IAEA didn't know that the facility was in existence. It was only after Israel hit it that it was acknowledged by the U.N.

I have an idea.. Let Israel run the I.A.E.A. When they determine that nukes are being developed, they can then send in their planes and level the place. Cut through the red-tape. Also it would make the IAEA relevant.

This is a perfect example why World Peace has reigned on Earth since the inception of the United Nations in the 1940's. The inmates are running the asylum. The photo above is a picture of the "Bizaro World head of the IAEA". He comes from another dimension where "white is black and black is white". This explains his ridiculous rebuke and reasoning behind it. Hopefully the reverse dimension will send back the leaders from our world and recall the diplomats and leaders at the United Nations so that the lunacy will cease.

Some times reality is stranger than fiction.

Where does your "church" stand on Homosexuality?

Today two "famous" individuals came "out of the closet" and announced that they were homosexuals. One was Ray Boltz and the other Clay Aiken. Both are stating that they remain "Christian" while practicing homosexuality. What does G_d say about this? Lets let HIS Word speak for itself:

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. " (Leviticus 18:22-23)

"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. " (Leviticus 20:13)

"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" (Romans 1:26-28)

Churches which allow homosexuals to fellowship with them are rejecting G_d and His Word. They are churches which have no power and are empty shells. "Christians" which practice homosexuality should be "disciplined" by the Church and not allowed to fellowship with the Church until they Repent. Christians who continue to participate in homosexuality behavior after being disciplined by the church should be removed from the church and not allowed to take part as a member of the body. They have revealed that they are not redeemed and belong with those who have rejected Yeshua and His Redemption.

Clay Aiken and Ray Boltz are not believers. They are impostors. They will be openly accepted by the "seeker-sensitive" Laodicean Churches which predominate this nation. They all will take part in G_d's Wrath when it is poured out on this Nation for the 50+ million babies we have murdered/sacrificed to the goddess liberatas.

The Abraham Geiger Award 2008 is conferred upon HRH Prince Hassan bin Talal of Jordan as a voice for global sustainability, reconciliation and interreligious understanding. HRH will receive the 2008 Abraham Geiger Award in commemoration of the great liberal thinker of Judaism, Abraham Geiger (1810-1874). The award ceremony will be held in Berlin on March 4, 2008. Prince Hassan follows in the footsteps of Cardinal Karl Lehmann, Alfred Grosser, Emil Fackenheim and Susannah Heschel, past recipients of the Award.

Honouring the President Emeritus of the World Conference of Religions for Peace underlines Prince Hassan's courage in defending pluralism, promoting understanding among different cultures and enhancing dialogue between Jews, Muslims and Christians. The Prince's efforts to promote understanding between the Islamic and Western Worlds are crucial at a time when we seem to be drifting apart, with perceived differences appearing to overwhelm the many things we have in common, both culturally and religiously.

Christianity Today interviews "Possible" Anti-Christ and lacks Discernment to Recognize

http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2008/february/27.64.html

Wow. What an indictment against this irrelevant "Christian" Magazine. Here is the "man of Peace" who fits the bill as the Anti-Christ and no mention is given concerning this by "Christianity Today". Only one comment is posted by the readers that brings up this issue. But the Scriptures foretell that the Church will conform to this world and embrace the false messiah. Only the "elect" will be sustained from the great deception.

Steven Rockefeller speech concerning Prince El Hassan bin Talal

HeA MUSLIM CENTRIST PLATFORM FOR DEMOCRACY
IN THE ARAB WORLD
Remarks by Steven C. Rockefeller, Chair of The Rockefeller Brothers Fund

January 28, 2004 at the New School University in New York


Your Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal, President Bob Kerrey, Professor Mustapha Tlili, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good evening. First of all, I would like to express my profound gratitude to Prince El Hassan for accepting the invitation to share with us his courageous vision of "A Muslim Centrist Platform for Democracy in the Arab World." Prince El Hassan's branch of the Hashemite family is directly descended from the prophet Muhammed, and he occupies a unique place as a spiritual, social, and political leader in the 42nd generation. Your Royal Highness, your participation in this evening's dialogue provides all of us with a rare opportunity to deepen our understanding of the great spiritual tradition of Islam, the contemporary situation in the Arab world, and promising paths to democratic social change, human development, and peace in the Middle East and worldwide.

Prince El Hassan's address has been made possible by a special initiative of the World Policy Institute at the New School University involving dialogues among representatives from the Islamic world, the U.S., and the West. I commend Professor Mustapha Tlili for his leadership in founding and directing these dialogues which began with a very productive meeting in Granada, Spain in 2002. I would also like to thank President Kerrey for the guidance and support he has provided this initiative.

The RBF became a partner in support of Professor Tlili's dialogues project as a result of the Fund's search for ways to respond meaningfully to the challenges that emerged from the events of 9/11. The RBF response to 9/11 has involved support for relief programs and recovery projects in New York City and also several strategic initiatives that have now been integrated into the Fund's new Peace and Security program. For example, the Fund is actively promoting a broad public debate on the U.S. role in the world and on the values and principles that should guide it, and the RBF is also supporting efforts to contribute to the improvement of communication and understanding between Muslim and Western societies.

The Carnegie Corporation and the MacArthur Foundation have joined with the Rockefeller Brothers Fund in supporting Professor Tlili's dialogues. If promising initiatives designed to promote mutual understanding are to be sustained and fully successful, they must be supported by institutions and governments in the Muslim world as well as the West. All of us have both an opportunity and a responsibility to build strong partnerships in this undertaking.

As the world enters a [global] phase in the development of civilization under the impact of technological and economic forces, the peoples and nations of the world have a choice. Under the influence of ancient prejudice, ignorance and narrow self-interest, we can engage in a self-destructive clash of cultures and religions, or recognizing that we share a common humanity and planetary home, we can cooperate and support each other in building an equitable, sustainable, and peaceful global society that respects cultural diversity and accepts pluralism. There is no greater social and spiritual challenge today than the pursuit of the latter goal in our local communities and globally. Tonight's dialogue on the future of the Arab world and on building better relations between the U.S. and the Islamic world is of central importance to this undertaking.

Sanhedrin in Israel to be Re-Established - Another piece of the puzzle..

http://www.thesanhedrin.org/en/index.php/The_Sanhedrin_Initiative

The Sanhedrin which last met during the days of Yeshua (Jesus) are now re-establishing. This is another step towards the re-building of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Yeshua is coming quickly. Ready yourself for the blowing of the Shofar.

America's Policy of Slavery

Revelation 18:13

11 the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, 12cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human lives^.


America has enslaved the world so that she can enjoy her luxuries. We have enslaved the world. Not only the world but also its' children. When you go to Walmart and buy the things that you do not need, you are enslaving a child some where else in the world. The soccer ball shown above is hand sewn by a child between the ages of 4 to 15 years old in India. These balls are sold in Walmart and other major retailers. They all have policies against this but no one enforces them because it would cost to much to do so. But the real cost is measured in human lives. Enjoy your cheap products. Enjoy them while you can. G_d is going to wipe out everything you own in one hour. Nothing will remain. All that will matter in that day is whether or not you have oil in your lamp.

VP Candidate Palin to meet with Henry Kissinger today to be Re-Educated on how the World is Run

http://www.slate.com/id/2193220/

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/22/us/politics/22veep.html?_r=1&em&oref=slogin

You can bet that the real purpose for this meeting is not for Palin to pick Kissinger's mind on Foreign Policy. The real purpose is for her to be indoctrinated concerning how the world really operates. Kissinger is one of the "Elders" of the CFR, Trilateral Commission, and Bilderbergers.

Palin is so new to the scene that before her nomination, she had not been brought into the circle of Power and as such needs to be brought into line before she is "a heart beat away from the Presidency".

I would be willing to say that McCain's Presidency will be determined by this meeting between Kissinger and Palin. McCain has told the elite that Palin, despite her "Jesus Freak" background, will play ball. Kissinger is going to determine whether this is in fact the case.

If Palin doesn't play ball at the meeting with Kissinger, you can bet that O'Bama will be backed and McCain will lose in November. They'll create a crisis which will hurt McCain and give O'Bama the solution...etc...

China calls for World Monetary System

China calls for a World Monetary System.

Democrats are Responsible for the Current Economic Meltdown

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aSKSoiNbnQY0

I personally don't believe that the Republicans or Democrats are looking out for the interest of the American Citizen. This article on Bloomberg plainly lays out how the Democrats blocked legislation in 2005 which would of shored up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which would of averted the current Financial Crisis. Really interesting.

Birth Pains - Yeshua is coming Very Soon!

Dollar to be inflated by 800 Billion under "Bail Out" Plan of Federal Reserve / US Treasury

If things were not bad enough.....

The US Government is going to "bail" out Wall Street with IOU's from the American Tax Payer.

Real result... dollar will further devalue against other currencies and Inflation will set in further and eventually progress into Hyper-Inflation. Life Savings will be wiped out and people will be forced revert to barter.

This should lead America to demand the Amero.€

"Tragedy & Hope: A History of the World in Our Time" by Carroll Quigley

This is the reference manual of the Elites concerning how they will destroy America's economy and install a world governmental system.

These Kings will hold their power for an Hour. They will give their authority to the Anti-Christ.

Victory of Yeshua and Sin's death in the Believer!

“Whenever God pardons sin, He subdues it, Micah 7:19. Then is the condemning power of sin taken away, when the commanding power of it is taken away. If a malefactor be in prison, how shall he know that his prince hath pardoned him? If a jailer come and knock off his chains and fetters, and lets him out of prison, then he may know he is pardoned; so, how shall we know God hath pardoned us? If the fetters of sin be broken off, and we walk at liberty in the ways of God, this is a blessed sign we are pardoned.”

When Israel attacks Iran - The Day the World Holds its' Breath

What is the likely scenario for the coming Israeli strike on Iran's Nuclear facilities?

Once Israel hits Iran with cruise missile and bombing runs, taking out much of Iran's Nuclear, Power, and Military infrastructure, Iran will respond quickly.

First Iran will launch its' missiles tipped with Chemical and Biological Warheads at US Military Installations in Iraq and at the population centers in Israel. This will be coordinated with the launching of over 100,000 rockets from Gaza and Lebanon by Hezbollah and Hamas. Syria will launch its' Chemical and Biological armed Missiles at Israel. Israel will suffer massive casualties.

Iran will follow up the missile attack with a ground invasion of Iraq to over run the US Forces there and seize control of Iraq and thus linking with Syria. Syria will push its' troops into Israel from the Golan Heights and Lebanon. Under the current "inept" Leadership of Israel (the Kadima Party) and its' new Inexperienced-Leftist Prime Minister ( Livni ) Israel will not respond in time to stop the in flow of Syrian Troops. Northern Israel will be at the point of being over run. (Remember Golda Mier?)

In response to the Chemical Attack, Israel will respond with the Samson Option. Damascus, Beirut, and all major cities in Lebanon and Syria will be attacked with Nuclear Missiles and Bombs. This is in direct fulfillment of Isaiah 17.

Isaiah 17

1 “ Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city,
And it will be a ruinous heap.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken;
They will be for flocks
Which lie down, and no one will make them afraid.
3 The fortress also will cease from Ephraim,
The kingdom from Damascus,
And the remnant of Syria;
They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,”
Says the LORD of hosts.
4 “ In that day it shall come to pass
That the glory of Jacob will wane,
And the fatness of his flesh grow lean.
5 It shall be as when the harvester gathers the grain,
And reaps the heads with his arm;
It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain
In the Valley of Rephaim.
6 Yet gleaning grapes will be left in it,
Like the shaking of an olive tree,
Two or three olives at the top of the uppermost bough,
Four or five in its most fruitful branches,”
Says the LORD God of Israel.
7 In that day a man will look to his Maker,
And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
8 He will not look to the altars,
The work of his hands;
He will not respect what his fingers have made,
Nor the wooden images nor the incense altars.
9 In that day his strong cities will be as a forsaken bough
And an uppermost branch,
Which they left because of the children of Israel;
And there will be desolation.
10 Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation,
And have not been mindful of the Rock of your stronghold,
Therefore you will plant pleasant plants
And set out foreign seedlings;
11 In the day you will make your plant to grow,
And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish;
But the harvest will be a heap of ruins
In the day of grief and desperate sorrow.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people
Who make a noise like the roar of the seas,
And to the rushing of nations
That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters;
But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away,
And be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,
Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
14 Then behold, at eventide, trouble!
And before the morning, he is no more.
This is the portion of those who plunder us,
And the lot of those who rob us.

You can bet that Iran will take some Nuclear hits but not to the point of Damascus. Iran will still survive. The Arab World will cry out in one voice over Damascus' ruin. In the attack Russia will lose many "advisers" who are working on the Nuclear and Military facilities of Iran. Russia will declare that it needs to "stabilize" the region and will partner with Turkey, the Islamic Nations who made up the Former Soviet Republic, and Iran. These northern kingdoms will move into Iraq and what is left of Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan with the intent of wiping out Israel. Libya, Ethiopia, and Sudan will likewise move north into Egypt with the intent of joining the Russian confederation in Israel.

This is a direct fulfillment of Ezekiel 38

1 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh,^[a] Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. 5 Persia, Ethiopia,^[b] and Libya^[c] are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.
7 “Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them. 8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. 9 You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”
10 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: 11 You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’— 12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land. 13 Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it? 15 Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army. 16 You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” 17 Thus says the Lord GOD: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?
18 “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “that My fury will show in My face. 19 For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’ 21 I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord GOD. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the LORD.”’

The Russian Confederation will over run the Israel army. The Foreign Forces will loot, pilage, and rape the people of Israel for a short time. Then suddenly something will happen to the Russian Forces. They will turn on each other while G_d reigns fire down on the Russian Forces. They will be miraculously wiped out in the land of Israel. It will take Israel 7 years to bury all the dead. 84% of the Russian and Confederation Armies are killed by G_d. The remaining foreign forces will walk home totally destitute. Israel will then realize that Yeshua is Messiah and that HE saved them. 33% of the People will be killed in the battle. Of the remaining 67%, 1/2 will realize that Yeshua is Messiah. The other Half will believe that the Anti-Christ is the Messiah.

Where is America in this picture? I believe that we find her in Revelation 17 & 18 and Jeremiah 51. America is Babylon who rides the World Governmental system. She controls it and in one hour shall be thrown off. It is very likely at this point where Russia decides to invade the Middle East, that Russia will preemptive strike the USA with a series of Nuclear Attacks to disable America from responding.

Most analysts believe that Russia will lunch from its' submarines a number of High Altitude Nukes which will send an EMP Wave over the USA and Canada. This will destroy all electronics, computers, electrical grid, and our ability to communicate. Then multiple hits will be made on our Submarine Bases, Missile Silos, and Command Centers. All of the military bases will be hit with Air Burst Nuclear attacks. Most major cities will be hit likewise. America will survive but will be unable to respond. This will be especially true if a weak President with no experience is elected like O'bama. We have 15 minutes to decide after they launch their missiles whether or not we will respond. 15 minutes. Can you imagine what would of happened if this occurred during Bill Clinton's Presidency? You can bet that the response will be denial. Then it is too late.

I believe that we are on the edge of a precipice. The World has been soaked in gasoline. It only needs a spark to set it off. May Yeshua's return be soon.
