Dollar at Risk of Becoming ‘Toxic Waste’: Charts

The dollar’s slump could get far worse if the dollar index takes out last year’s low, Robin Griffiths, technical strategist at Cazenove Capital, told CNBC Monday.

“If the (dollar index) takes out the low that was made roughly a year ago I really think that will not only encourage more sales, it will cause a little bit of minor panic,” Griffiths said. “A year ago it was deemed too cheap, if it goes any lower than that it’s actually become toxic waste.”

A Christian Response to Synod Declaration on the Chosen People

Posted in Church Falling Away, Deception, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , on November 2, 2010|

What the synod has declared is wrong.  How far we have fallen as a religion.  We need to return to our roots.  The Bible is the Word of God and is infallible.  The Jews are God’s chosen people and he has a covenant with them, but he also has a covenant with the church.  Different covenants, both working to fulfill his word.  We, the church, did not replace the Jews.  Many are being deceived and led astray…

Turning Christian speech into ‘hate speech’

Posted in Christian Persecution, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , on November 2, 2010|

It is a slow, drawn out type of persecution but persecution none the less.  When one is not allowed to speak their beliefs, I could see if those beliefs were violent, but this is just an opinion that a specific act is wrong in the eyes of God…

Turning Christian speech into ‘hate speech’

United Nations UN logoAlliance Defense Fund (ADF) has joined other groups in urging the United Nations to protect religious expression in a civil rights covenant.

The U.N.’s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for a consultation to review the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. ADF attorney Piero Tozzi explains that two provisions are at issue.

“One [provision] provides for freedom of expression. Another provision, however, would limit that,” he explains. “It’s the following article that says: ‘Any advocacy of national, racial, or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility, or violence shall be prohibited by law.'”

ANKARA, Turkey, Oct. 26 (UPI) — Turkey’s intelligence establishment has severed working ties with Israel’s Mossad, further proof of strained relations between the countries, officials said.

A report in the Sabah newspaper quoted officials as saying the two agencies that once enjoyed close cooperation have stopped exchanging intelligence and conducting joint operations.

High-ranking Israeli officials privy to the matter neither confirmed nor denied the Turkish report and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s office refused to comment, Haaretz reported Tuesday.

Indonesia’s Merapi volcano erupts again

Indonesia’s Merapi volcano erupts again

SLEMAN, Indonesia, Oct 28 (Reuters) – Indonesia’s Mount Merapi volcano erupted again on Thursday, blasting vast ash clouds into the sky and unleashing jets of searing gas, two days after an initial eruption killed at least 34 people. There were no immediate reports of casualties. More than 40,000 people had fled or been evacuated from Merapi’s slopes ahead of the previous eruption, but many had started to return after the volcano appeared to become calmer on Wednesday. Indonesia is also dealing with the aftermath of a tsunami that killed at least 343 people in remote western islands on Monday.

Indonesian Volcano Mount Merapi Erupts

MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia (Oct. 26) — Doctors and television reports say at least 19 people were killed when Indonesia’s most volatile volcano erupted.

Scientists have warned that pressure building beneath Mount Merapi’s lava dome could trigger its most powerful blast in years.
But some vulcanologists are saying that while a big eruption is still possible, the mountain appears to be letting off steam slowly.

The death toll was quickly climbing, however.

Hospital officials said a baby died Tuesday when a mother ran in panic after Merapi started rumbling. Three other villagers died from serious burns.

Metro TV reported that 15 other bodies were found in several houses. It carried footage of corpses being carried to waiting vehicles.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit on Thursday said there had been no “breakthrough” in efforts to revive Middle East peace talks during a rare visit to the West Bank.

Abul Gheit, who was accompanied by Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, reiterated Arab support for Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas’s demand that Israeli settlement building be frozen ahead of fresh talks.

“The goal is achieve the Palestinian demand, which has Arab support, for a complete halt to settlements in order to clear the way for a return to negotiations,” Abul Gheit told reporters after meeting with Abbas in Ramallah.

Officials warned that Haiti should prepare for the worst as hundreds more patients packed into hospitals amid a deadly cholera outbreak that has claimed almost 300 lives.

A total of 4,147 people were being treated for the disease, said the head of Haiti’s health department Gabriel Thimote, while eight new fatalities brought the death toll to 292.

The World Health Organization (WHO) warned the outbreak was far from over and Haiti should prepare for the disease to hit its capital Port-au-Prince, which is teeming with squalid tent cities after January’s catastrophic earthquake.

“We cannot say it is contained,” WHO’s cholera chief, Claire-Lise Chaignat, told journalists in Geneva.

Indonesia warns volcano could erupt at any time

MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia – Indonesia warned Monday that its most volatile volcano could erupt at any time and started evacuating some of the thousands of villagers living on the mountain’s slope.

Mount Merapi has seen increased volcanic activity over the past week and officials have raised the alert level for the 9,737-foot (2,968-meter) -high mountain to the most urgent level, said government volcanologist Surono, who uses only one name.

The mountain last erupted in 2006, when it sent an avalanche of blistering gases and rock fragments racing down the mountain that killed two people. A similar eruption in 1994 killed 60 people, while 1,300 people died in an eruption in 1930.

“Officials have predicted that if it erupts, magma would flow to the southern side,” said Sri Purnomo, the head of Sleman district on Java island, where Mount Merapi is located.

Berlusconi pledges to end Naples waste crisis

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi pledged a swift end to the Naples garbage crisis on Friday as TV pictures of piles of rubbish and angry protests put his struggling government under pressure.

At least 20 police officers were injured on Thursday and there was further violence overnight as the chronic problem of waste disposal in Italy’s third largest city flared into violence for another night.

Hundreds of tonnes of garbage lie uncollected in the streets after a dispute erupted over a new dump near the town of Terzigno, near Naples, where the existing facility is full and where residents complain about the stench and toxic waste.

“Naples is no good. We are drowning in garbage again. They have to open the new dump but they need to do it far from the houses, because rubbish spreads disease,” an 80-year old woman, who gave her name as Assunta, told Reuters.

Langella says her toddler often vomits and she blames this on the foul smell and toxic waste piling up in a rubbish dump near her house in Terzigno, on the outskirts of Naples where the streets are strewn with mounds of garbage.

“We have to keep the children inside, with the doors and windows shut, but even then it’s not enough,” she told Reuters. “It’s terrible. The state has abandoned us.”

The Brazilian government has announced $13.5m (£8.6m) in emergency aid for Amazon regions hit by the worst drought in decades.

The money will fund water pumping and purification, as well as food deliveries to towns cut off by the drop in river levels.

The Brazilian air force has already flown 500 tonnes of supplies to areas that usually depend on water transport.

The River Amazon at Manaus has fallen to its lowest level since 1963.

Scientists say the region is facing its worst drought since that year.

Vatican body asks UN to ‘end Israeli occupation

In final statement of two-week conference, bishops’ synod says Biblical concept of ‘promised land’ cannot be used to justify settlements

Israel cannot use the Biblical concept of a promised land or a chosen people to justify new “settlements” in Jerusalem or territorial claims, a Vatican synod on the Middle East said on Saturday.

In its concluding message after two weeks of meetings, the synod of bishops from the Middle East also said it hoped a two-state solution for peace between Israel and the Palestinians could be lifted from dream to reality and called for peaceful conditions that would stop a Christian exodus from the region.

“We have meditated on the situation of the holy city of Jerusalem. We are anxious about the unilateral initiatives that threaten its composition and risk to change its demographic balance,” the message said.

Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi reportedly said he hopes Israel does not attack Iran, and expressed doubts about the effectiveness of sanctions, according to Friday’s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, a German daily.

“Regarding Israel, we can only hope that the nuclear threat is not viewed as so great that Israel takes military action against Iran,” Berlusconi was quoted as saying.

Berlusconi was also quoted as telling Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that, although Italy has participated in the sanctions, “I fear that sanctions will not bring success.”

He said sanctions have tended to reinforce regimes in countries such as Cuba, and “a gentle and circumspect approach would be more helpful,” the newspaper reported

France struggles to import gasoline amid strikes

PARIS (AP) – The French government says fuel shortages caused by strikes will go on for several more days.

The head of the national petroleum industry body says it is struggling to import fuel to make up for the shortfall.

Prime Minister Francois Fillon convened oil industry executives Friday to look at the country’s lagging fuel supplies, which have been disrupted by strikes at depots and oil terminals. Fillon said it will take “several more days” for a return to normal.

Environment Minister Jean-Louis Borloo said there was no question of rationing gas supplies.

The government has ordered oil companies to pool fuel to ensure gas stations are stocked, particularly for this weekend as nationwide school vacations begin.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.

PARIS (AP) – French riot police forced open a strategic fuel refinery Friday that had been a bastion of resistance to President Nicolas Sarkozy’s bid to raise the retirement age to 62, pushing striking workers aside with shields in a bid to end gasoline shortages.

The operation came as the French Senate prepared to vote on a pension reform at the heart of the unions’ anger, after the government short-circuited a protracted debate.

In fact they are elite French policemen who were deployed to the historic centre of Lyon yesterday to deal with rioting students.

President Nicolas Sarkozy took the extreme measure in the face of growing protests against an unpopular law aimed at increasing the retirement age from 60 to 62.

WHAT IS A TRUE CHRISTIAN?

Good article…

_________________________________________________________________

WHAT IS A TRUE CHRISTIAN?

By Grant Phillips

 

Perhaps the most misunderstood word in existence is “Christian”. Its origination is found in Acts 16:31, “…And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.” We see in the previous verses to verse 31 that the disciples were preaching the Lord Jesus, and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord. They were exhorted by Barnabas to cling unto the Lord. Barnabas left and brought back Saul (who was later called Paul) and they taught the people about Jesus. So, simply put, Christians are followers of Jesus.

It did not take Satan long though to muddy the water. People began seeing a Christian as one who was religious. However, religion and Christianity are not the same. Religion is man seeking a god, through his own works. Christianity is all about Jesus Christ and what He has provided for those who will follow Him.

Today, generally speaking, we are so far away from the real truth of being a Christian, it is no wonder that those who do not know Jesus (the world) can tell little difference between themselves and a Christian.

Politicians (not all) use Christianity when it is convenient for them. When it is not convenient, look out. Many politicians will say, “I am a Christian. I pray. I read the Bible. I go to church.” Does that make them a Christian? Maybe when we arrive in Heaven, we should ask the millions of babies who have been murdered in the wombs of their mothers. Maybe God Himself will have something to say to the politicians and their followers about how He has been legislated out of every area of our lives.

The Hollywood crowd (not all) lives as if anything and everything goes. The raunchier they can live, the better. The (more…)

Green Technology: Government Motors’ all-electric car isn’t all-electric and doesn’t get near the touted hundreds of miles per gallon. Like “shovel-ready” jobs, maybe there’s no such thing as “plug-ready” cars either.

The Chevy Volt, hailed by the Obama administration as the electric savior of the auto industry and the planet, makes its debut in showrooms next month, but it’s already being rolled out for test drives by journalists. It appears we’re all being taken for a ride.

When President Obama visited a GM plant in Hamtramck near Detroit a few months ago to drive a Chevy Volt 10 feet off an assembly line, we called the car an “electric Edsel.” Now that it’s about to hit the road, nothing revealed has changed our mind.

Advertised as an all-electric car that could drive 50 miles on its lithium battery, GM addressed concerns about where you plug the thing in en route to grandma’s house by adding a small gasoline engine to help maintain the charge on the battery as it starts to run down. It was still an electric car, we were told, and not a hybrid on steroids.

That’s not quite true. The gasoline engine has been found to be more than a range-extender for the battery. Volt (more…)

GYEONGJU, South Korea | Thu Oct 21, 2010 11:06am EDT

GYEONGJU, South Korea (Reuters) – G20 officials are unlikely to reach an accord rejecting currency devaluations and capping current account balances, an informed source said on Thursday, after U.S. proposals ran into stiff opposition.

The swift rebuff of a U.S. call for numerical targets for “sustainable” trade surpluses and deficits underscored the difficulties facing Group of 20 finance ministers gathering in South Korea as they try to defuse tensions over currencies and economic imbalances.

The G20 source, who has direct knowledge of deliberations at the meeting, said the proposals had not found favor with India, China and other emerging economies, or even the likes of Germany, which has a large current account surplus.
