It is pretty bold of him to say we have dodged depression.

I am not sure any of the economic indicators back that up.

But that doesn’t stop the deception.

If we look to prophecy, we know that the current world’s economy must be brought down and replaced with a cashless system that can be used by the Antichrist to control who can buy and sell.

It is just a matter of timing, we see the tools being created and put in place today.

Obama tells UN leaders world has dodged depression

UNITED NATIONS – President Barack Obama is calling on world leaders to support new efforts to bring about peace in the Mideast, while declaring the global economy has been “pulled back from the brink of a depression.”

Obama, visiting the United Nations where world leaders are gathered, says “America has joined with nations around the world to spur growth and renewed demand that could restart job creation.”

It is said in the last days all countries of the world will turn against Jerusalem, Israel.

They will be come a burdensome stone, meaning that city and its boundaries will be a problem to all nations.

This is what Obama is calling for here.  That all countries, world-wide, get behind his plan of two states for two people.

Who’s side do you think they lean toward in the end?

Zechariah 12:3 (KJV) – “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”

Russia says will not to freeze military cooperation with Iran

Russia and Iran will continue military cooperation, despite Russia’s support for the latest UN sanctions against the Islamic Republic, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.

According to RIA Novosti news agency, the Kremlin said on Wednesday that President Dmitry Medvedev had signed a decree banning the supply of battle tanks, armored vehicles, large-caliber artillery systems, warplanes, military helicopters, ships and missiles, including S-300 air defense systems, to Iran as part of the measures Russia is taking to comply with the UN resolution.

More interfaith events in the news.  These have really been picking up steam.

They are setting the stage and preparing the way for one world religion, based on tolerance and acceptance of all.

It will frame salvation as accessible via multiple paths with Jesus Christ as a way, instead of the Truth.

That Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, and The life.  Only through Him can we receive salvation.

Those that believe this though will be painted as extremists and intolerant, in some cases it is already happening…

John 14:6 (NIV) – “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Tropical storm brings fresh flood misery to Mexico

Mexico has been hit by a new storm, compounding the flood misery which has affected one million people nationwide.

Tropical Storm Georgette brought heavy rains and pounding waves to the Baja California region on the Pacific coast.

The storm, now downgraded to a Tropical Depression, made landfall near the resort town of Cabo San Lucas.

It hit amid the worst rainy season ever recorded in some parts and just days after Hurricane Karl flooded large areas and killed at least 15 people.

Although Georgette has reduced in power it is still bringing strong winds and torrential rain to the area as it moves across the Gulf of California.

In Baja California, the region’s director of civil defence, Jose Gajon, said that about 1,000 families had been evacuated from areas vulnerable to flooding and storm surges.

Ever wonder how all the global temperature data is collected?

Well they have these measurement stations throughout the country and the world.  Measuring the temperature day and night.  The data is then processed, averaged, etc to give us the findings that are presented.

Here are some of the measurement stations, that may not be capturing the true temperature of the earth…

Simply amazing…

Measuring Global Warming

Nearly every single weather station the U.S. government uses to measure the country’s surface temperature may be compromised, say critics. Sensors that are supposed to be in empty clearings are instead exposed to crackling electronics and other sources of heat, from exhaust pipes and trash-burning barrels to chimneys and human graves

This article is a little old, dug it out of some I had found earlier this year, but it gives some good links and information about what our current administration has been looking into around 401k’s this year.

They must control all of our money to be able to control us.  It is needed to progress to one world currency and one world government.

Through this progression, as the worlds economies begin to sink, you will see governments thrashing, as a drowning swimmer, looking for monetary sources where ever they can.

It will not be pretty, but the good news is we will be kept from the worst, not all, so we must prepare, but from the worst.  Christ will rapture his church.  It could be any day now…

Republicans Sound Alarm on Administration Plan to Seize 401(k)s

In February, the White House released its “Annual Report on the Middle Class” containing new regulations favored by Big Labor including a bailout of critically underfunded union pension plans through “retirement security” options.

The radical solution most favored by Big Labor is the seizure of private 401(k) plans for government disbursement — which lets them off the hook for their collapsing retirement scheme.  And, of course, the Obama administration is eager to accommodate their buddies.

Vice President Joe Biden floated the idea, called “Guaranteed Retirement Accounts” (GRAs), in the February “Middle Class” report.

It is amazing how deep the Bible is and how much reassurance it can give us if we just look and listen.

It has so many layers that are reveled as you read it more and more.  Also, learning the audiences and Jewish traditions helps uncover jewels like this.

Trust in the Lord, He is coming back for us!

He promised and He always keeps His promises.

The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes.

Some interesting video’s on what is being developed in St. Louis.

Chipless RFID technology.

That’s right, no chip, it is electronic ink that is used to write a mark on the skin that can be read with normal RFID technology.  It takes less than 20 seconds.

Currently the main use is for livestock but the vendor, Somark, says the ink is safe for use on humans.

Eerie, how things are advancing.  Do I think we are going to be rounded up next week? No.  It is just the puzzle pieces falling into place for the perfect time when the Antichrist rises.

Revelation 13:15-17 (NIV) – He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.”

More calls for Global governance, New World Political and Economic Order.  This has certainly picked up in the last few months.  A lot of calls for a larger role for the UN or flat-out New World Order as the article below calls for.

The pieces are coming together, we must remain watchful…

Cuba Demands New World Political, Economic Order at UN

Cuba demanded on Tuesday a new international political and economic order based on the principles of solidarity, social justice, equality and respect for the rights of the peoples and all human rights.

Cuba Demands New World Political, Economic Order at UN Cuba Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez at UN Millennium Development Goals Summit.

Addressing the plenary session of the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals Summit underway in New York, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla said that the lack of solutions to the most serious development issues and the problems of those who live in poverty and underdevelopment will also affect industrialized societies, where unemployment rates grow and brutal migratory policies are becoming common.

The diplomat added that the goals included in the Declaration of the Millennium have almost been completely fulfilled in Cuba and some of them have even been surpassed.

“Our commitment goes beyond the borders of our country and it has allowed us to contribute to the social development of other Third World  nations”, he said.

Amazing article on where we are headed and some good links to all of the infrastructure being put into place.

You can see this all around us know, framing people as extremists or moderates.  We are beginning to see this done with Christianity.  Those that hold true to the Bible as the Truth, Jesus is the only way, are being labeled as intolerant.

Be watchful so you are not deceived!

Interfaith movement brings world closer to global religious system

During the last days prior to the return of Jesus Christ, one of the many signs heralding His return will be a global apostasy (2 Thessalonians 2:3) coinciding with a global cry for peace.(1 Thessalonians 5:3) Globalized communications of our day facilitate the rise and speed of this falling away from the faith, and have also been prophesied since the Bible foretells the world will see certain events come to pass. (Revelation 11:9-10; 17:8)

With nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons technology, terrorist threats, combined with several nations increasingly more hungry for power and domination than for true peace, the capability of mankind destroying all life on earth today, is real. Over 2000 years ago, Jesus predicted this capability for world destruction at a time when only spears and swords were the weapons used. (Matthew 24:21-22)

All these factors and more, play into the role of fulfilling the prophecy found in Revelation chapter 13, the time coming when the Antichrist , or ‘false messiah’ forms his one world religion (Revelation 13:12)

To get to the point of global worship of the Antichrist who will rule the world temporarily during the tribulation prior to the return of Jesus Christ , the true Messiah, there must (logically) be a global ‘conditioning’ or preparation, and this begins with apostasy, or the ‘falling away’ from the true faith in Jesus Christ in much of the Christian world. This is happening right now and increasingly so, with the global cry for peace. Jesus Christ is denied as being the ‘only way, truth, and life’ (John 14:6) and in many churches, this truth is excluded (subtly in many cases with a weak gospel) in the name of ‘peace and tolerance.’ How can this happen? What is the motive or inspiration? This is an examination of only a few factors working together to bring about this change.

Russia favours boosting the UN central role in world affairs.

This came in a statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry following Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s meeting with the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the sidelines of the ongoing 65th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

The meeting proved a showdown of views on a number of problems that feature prominently on the UN agenda, with an emphasis laid on a settlement of regional conflicts, as well as on action on the Millennium Development Goals project.

Italy seizes 7 tonnes of Iranian explosive in port

REGGIO DI CALABRIA, Italy – Italian authorities have seized 7 tones of powerful RDX explosive being shipped from Iran to Syria, police said on Wednesday.

Anti-mafia police found the cargo in a shipping container on a Liberian-registered ship that docked in the Calabrian port of Gioia Tauro in southern Italy last month and said it would have been enough to destroy the port.

The cargo, hidden among packs of powdered milk, was seized on August 27 but police, who were tipped off by intelligence services, did not make an announcement until this week.

Good article on the extent to which our government is going today.  GPS and tracking device technology, use to be something from a Bond movie, but today it is being used more and more.  Something you may not have thought about, I know I hadn’t, is found in the court’s ruling:

The court said that a person “who knows all of another’s travels can deduce whether he is a weekly churchgoer, a heavy drinker, a regular at the gym, an unfaithful husband, an outpatient receiving medical treatment, an associate of particular individuals or political groups — and not just one such fact about a person, but all such facts.”

Think about that, does that sound like something that would be useful to a global government that is set up to control everything about our lives, including a mark in which they control all sales and purchases?

_________________________________________________________________

The Obama administration has urged a federal appeals court to allow the government, without a court warrant, to affix GPS devices on suspects’ vehicles to track their every move.

The Justice Department is demanding a federal appeals court rehear a case in which it reversed the conviction and life sentence of a cocaine dealer whose vehicle was tracked via GPS for a month, without a court warrant. The authorities then obtained warrants to search and find drugs in the locations where defendant Antoine Jones had travelled.

The administration, in urging the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to reverse a three-judge panel’s August ruling from the same court, said Monday that Americans should expect no privacy while in public.

It is hard to believe Government statistics these days, there is so much spin and discounting certain groups or redefining definitions of economics.

Why do we not count food & groceries, gas & oil, and energy from our inflation numbers?

Why do we not count individuals that have stopped looking for jobs from our unemployment numbers?

Why do we not count any of our promised benefits of Social Security, Medicare, and pensions in our national debt?

Why do we not know the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve, a private, yes private bank we have given the right to print money for us and charge us interest?

Do we know what our national debt really is?  Keep reading…

US Government ‘hiding true amount of debt’

THE actual figure of the US’ national debt is much higher than the official sum of $US13.4 trillion ($14.3 trillion) given by the Congressional Budget Office, according to analysts cited on Sunday by the New York Post.

“The Government is lying about the amount of debt. It is engaging in Enron accounting,” said Laurence Kotlikoff, an economist at Boston University and co-author of The Coming Generational Storm: What You Need to Know about America’s Economic Future.

“The problem is we’re seeing an explosion in spending,” added Andrew Moylan, director of government affairs for the National Taxpayers Union.

Here we go folks, the trigger hasn’t been pulled but the Fed said they would and are looking to at the appropriate time.  Gold shot up as soon as it was announced, which means the market believes they will use “quantitative easing”.  Printing money to buy debt.  The US dollar also declined on the news.  You must remain watchful, for as soon as they pull the trigger, know inflation, maybe hyperinflation is on the way.

Fed Signals It May Take Further Steps to Boost Economy

The Federal Reserve on Tuesday inched closer to fresh steps to bolster a sluggish U.S. recovery, saying it stood ready to provide more support for the economy and expressing concerns about low inflation.

The U.S. central bank’s policy-setting panel made no shift in monetary policy at the end of a one-day meeting, keeping overnight interest rates near zero, but it opened the door wider to pumping more money into the economy.

“The committee will continue to monitor the economic outlook and financial developments and is prepared to provide additional accommodation if needed to support the economic recovery and to return inflation, over time, to levels consistent with its mandate,” the Fed said in a statement.

After its meeting on August 10, the Fed had simply said it would “employ its policy tools as necessary.” The Fed underscored its concerns over slowing inflation in its statement on Tuesday, saying the underlying rate of inflation was below levels consistent with its mandate for price stability and full employment.

More global governance talk and a few interesting bullet points.  As we hurl toward global governance, ask yourself, are these the people or the principles we want, and how would they represent us?

* Progress on meeting U.N. poverty goals by 2015 uneven

So we are not on target to meet the U.N. poverty goals by 2015, have they heard there is a global recession?  Don’t we all have to feel the pain together?

* France, Spain, Greece urge tax to raise poverty funding

Another tax, during a recession, to help fight poverty, which is good, but maybe not the primary focus?

* Bhutan proposes making happiness a development goal

Ah, “happiness” as a development goal, not the “pursuit of happiness” but happiness as an end state.

Global Governance, taking more from you, to make others happy!

UNITED NATIONS, Sept 20 (Reuters) – U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon pressed debt-ridden donor countries on Monday not to cut aid to the poor despite their budgetary woes.

“We should not balance budgets on the backs of the poor,” Ban told 140 leaders at the start of a three-day summit to review progress in meeting U.N. poverty goals by 2015.

Europe leaders urge bank tax to battle poverty

European leaders stepped up demands for a global financial tax on Monday as they faced mounting calls for money to pay for the Millennium Goals battle to cut extreme poverty.

President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and Spain’s Prime Minister Jose Luis Zapatero said they would press for the new tax at international summits.

The world’s wealthy countries face growing pressure at the three day Millennium Development Goals (MDG) summit to contribute more to the drive to eradicate poverty and improve child and maternal health.

African nations in particular are calling for more action and the West can expect little sympathy when the likes of Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speak on Tuesday.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the struggling effort to reach eight key development goals by 2015 could still be met if world leaders provide the necessary money and political will.

More concern and fear on food shortages and rising prices.  The impacts of devastated Russian crops will be felt world-wide.

Revelation 6:6 (NIV) – “Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

Russian crop misery spreads to world’s supermarkets

The hulking green combine tractor clatters across a wheat field at the sprawling Maslovka farm, a typical autumn scene in Russia’s agricultural heartland.

This year however, the machine is not harvesting wheat but ploughing dead crops back into the cracked, sun-scorched earth, a symbol of a land hit by an unprecedented summer drought and savage forest fires.

“These are scary times,” says Karpa Osipova, 84, who lives on Lenin Street, a few blocks from the Maslovka farm.

“The prices of crops are slowly rising, and my pension isn’t big enough,” says Osipova. “I don’t even know how I am going to be able to afford bread.”

The situation on Maslovka farm will affect not just whether Osipova gets her daily loaf of bread, but may also have a far-reaching impact on global bread supplies and food prices.

President Ahmedinejad Threatens U.S. With War ‘Without Boundaries’

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad warned the Obama administration today that if Iran’s nuclear facilities are attacked, the U.S. will face a war that “would know no boundaries.”

The Iranian president, who is in New York for the annual meetings of the United Nations General Assembly, spoke at a breakfast meeting with reporters and editors at Manhattan’s Warwick Hotel.

He said that Iran is on the brink of becoming a nuclear power, and warned Israel and the U.S. against attacking its nuclear facilities.

Asked about the possibility of a U.S.-supported Israeli air strike against Iran, the fiery Iranian leader said an attack would be considered an act of war, and suggested the U.S. is unprepared for the consequences. Such a war “would know no boundaries,” Ahmedinejad said. “War is not just bombs.”

Fed Mulls Trillion-Dollar Policy Question

How much of a boost to the U.S. recovery could another trillion dollars or two buy?

United States Federal Reserve. Leaders at the Fed meet Tuesday to analyze the benefits of increasing the money supply.

United States Federal Reserve. Leaders at the Fed meet Tuesday to analyze the benefits of increasing the money supply.

That’s a tricky question for the Federal Reserve when it meets Tuesday to debate what would warrant pumping more money into the financial system.

To battle the financial crisis, the Fed bought $1.7 trillion of longer-term Treasury and mortgage-related bonds, supplementing its pledge to keep interest rates near zero for a long time.

All told, it helped stabilize a collapsing financial system and to avert what could have been a second Great Depression.

Now, faced with a 9.6 percent jobless rate and below-target inflation, Fed policymakers are trying to gauge how much they could achieve if they resume massive quantitative easing.

Few analysts expect the Fed to launch a new round of bond buying this week, and uncertainty over the impact of fresh moves may be a factor keeping the central bank on the sidelines.

“I think part of the hesitancy of the committee to use quantitative easing a second time around relates to views of its effectiveness,” said Vince Reinhart, a former Fed staffer.

Here is an article about the US that toward the end makes mention that Spain is forcing private retirement accounts to purchase government debt.

“And that is if the government itself does not confiscate pensions and retirement savings and demand that they be put into soon-to-be-worthless government debt. Far fetched? Spain’s secretary of state for social security, Octavio Granada, was recently quoted as saying that by the end of 2010 some 90% of all Spanish pension savings will be “invested” in domestic government debt. Spain isn’t some 3rd world banana republic and they are already moving strongly in this direction. With trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see, where else can the US Government hope to get the money to fund all their debt?”

As he stated, Spain is not a third world country, this was also done in Argentina but that was written off as being a developing nation struggling with hyperinflation.  Spain is like us, just smaller and a few steps ahead.

There are a lot of other good points in this article, I just wanted to bring your attention to what Spain has done, based on what I posted earlier.

When times are good, or at least relatively good, unsustainable trends can appear sustainable. The now-aging baby boomers who had a lot of their wealth tied up in their home and the stock market were feeling great. They had just come off of a 20 year super-bull market in equities and up until 2007 they were seeing the value of their home increase by leaps and bounds every year.

Sure, their kids were scraping by on credit card and student loan debt. But there were jobs to be found and even if they couldn’t scrape by they could always count on some help, and even housing, from Mom and Pop.

British Government to Seize All Paychecks

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Infowars.com
September 20, 2010

undefined

Forget big government – the same elite whose policies caused the financial collapse are now ready to launch the next phase of their fascist takeover of the economy – by forcing businesses to send employee paychecks straight to the government, who would then deduct the “appropriate tax” before the employee receives their wage, as the statist cancer of collectivism grows.

The proposal represents another hammer blow to financial privacy, as the establishment moves towards a total cashless society where every transaction is tracked, traced and controlled by the authorities.

“The UK’s tax collection agency is putting forth a proposal that all employers send employee paychecks to the government, after which the government would deduct what it deems as the appropriate tax and the pay the employee’s by bank transfer,” reports CNBC.

The system would be run by the same organization, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), that has become notorious for its botched handling of data and incorrect tax calculations which have forced people to spend months and even years trying to claim back unfairly claimed money seized by the taxman.

But this story is about far more than the threat of mere bureaucracy or bumbling incompetence – this is about the (more…)

We have progressed to the point that they are not even trying to hide it any more.  My favorite line is:

The international nature of these global goals leaves individual nations struggling for effective solutions that transcend their borders. That’s where “global governance” comes in.

I love that, “That’s where ‘global governance’ come in.”  Woo Hoo!

They continue:

It works to create international structures capable of dealing with issues of global significance, and the closer the MDGs come to their deadline of 2015 the clearer multinational cooperation becomes.

Ah those MDGs, the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.

There you have it.  If you want an even more in-depth look at the UN’s plans and hurdles, check out the link below to a post I made earlier.  Must See: Global Governance:  Here is the playbook…

Millennium Goals pose test to global governance structures

After the UN set ambitious goals for improving the lives of millions of people, global governance has come to the fore. When addressing issues of worldwide significance many nations need to be at the table, experts say.

The United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG) include pledges to wipe out extreme poverty, achieve universal primary education, promote gender equality, reduce rates of child mortality, fight epidemic diseases, and develop a global partnership for development.

The international nature of these global goals leaves individual nations struggling for effective solutions that transcend their borders. That’s where “global governance” comes in. It works to create international structures capable of dealing with issues of global significance, and the closer the MDGs come to their deadline of 2015 the clearer multinational cooperation becomes.

States’ changing role

“The old idea was that nation states need to be as independent as possible to be responsible to their own population,” said Dirk Messner, director of the German Development Institute. “It’s now become clear that we are dealing with global interdependencies and that we have to politically organize them.”

So a surprise to whom is my only question?

Wall Street’s Engines of Profit Are Freezing Up

Inside the great investment houses on Wall Street, business has taken a surprising turn — downward.

Even after taxpayer bailouts restored bankers’ profits and pay, the great Wall Street money machine is decelerating. Big financial institutions, including commercial banks, are still making a lot of money. But given unease in the financial markets and the economy, brokerages and investment banks are not making nearly as much as their executives, employees and investors had hoped.

After an unusually sharp slowdown in trading this summer, analysts are rethinking their profit forecasts for 2010.

The activities at the heart of what Wall Street does — selling and trading stocks and bonds, and advising on mergers — are running at levels well below where they were at this point last year, said Meredith Whitney, a bank analyst who was among the first to warn of the subprime mortgage disaster and its impact on big banks.

Worldwide, the number of stock offerings is down 15 percent from this time last year, while bond issuance is off 25 percent, according to Capital IQ, a research firm. Based on these trends, Ms. Whitney predicts that annual revenue from Wall Street’s main businesses will drop 25 percent, to around $42 billion in 2010, from $56 billion last year.

We really have no idea what the Israelis have to deal with.

Can you imagine someone getting the death penalty for selling you land?

No wonder tensions are so high…

PA affirms death penalty for land sales to Israelis

The PA says the land law is necessary to prevent the expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

The Palestinian Authority on Sunday reaffirmed the death penalty for any Palestinian found guilty of selling land to Israelis.

The decision came in response to a ruling by a Palestinian court according to which such acts were only a “minor offense.”

PA Prosecutor-General Ahmed al-Mughni appealed against the ruling to a higher court, arguing that the sale of land to Israelis was a “major offense” punishable by death.

The appeal was accepted.

More Global talk, if you can’t get something passed at the nation level, kick it up to the Global level where individuals may not have a chance to vote on it…remember ‘net neutrality’, this is his big brother…

Global ‘internet treaty’ proposed

Deal would enshrine in law the founding principles of open standards and net neutrality, and protect the web from political interference.

The proposal was presented at the Internet Governance Forum in Lithuania last week, and outlined 12 “principles of internet governance”, including a commitment from countries to sustain the technological foundations that underpin the web’s infrastructure.

The draft law has been likened to the Space Treaty, signed in 1967, which stated that space exploration should be carried out for the benefit of all nations, and guaranteed “free access to all areas of celestial bodies”.

Under the proposed terms of the law, there would be cross-border co-operation between countries to identify and address security vulnerability and protect the network from possible cyber attacks or cyber terrorism.

It would also uphold rights to freedom of expression and association, and the principle of net neutrality, in which all internet traffic is treated equally across the network.

“The fundamental functions and the core principles of the internet must be preserved in all layers of the internet architecture with a view to guaranteeing the interoperability of networks in terms of infrastructures, services and contents,” reads the proposal.

“The end-to-end principle should be protected globally.”

Signs of growing and spreading pestilence throughout the world…

Bangladesh: 585 people contracted anthrax since August

Bangladesh’s government says anthrax has spread in the country, with some 585 people contracting the disease since late August. The government’s Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research released the figures Monday, reporting cases of anthrax in 12 of the country’s 64 districts.

So far, none of the victims have died and none are seriously ill.

While anthrax is not new to Bangladesh, there’s no record of it spreading so widely. The institute said that initially, 38 villagers were sickened by the bacterial disease in northern Sirajganj district after infected cows were slaughtered. Humans typically get anthrax from touching infected animals or animal products. Human infections are potentially fatal. (AP)

Great article on nations world-wide beginning to falter and crumble.  They have based their governments on failed ideas and policies: fiat currency, spending driven economy, huge debt, no balance, tax the few to support the many.

It is the same all over, all that have tried it, are failing.  But it is not just a reflection on the failed ideas, it is setting the stage for one world government.

There are several articles I have posted on their plans, just sort by the “one world government” category on the right.

The stage is set. When will enough domino’s fall?  What will be the trigger?

Again, great article.

Signs Of A Crumbling Regime

September 20, 2010 by Bob Livingston

Signs Of A Crumbling Regime

Can you see it? The signs are everywhere. The regime is crumbling.

No not the President Barack Obama regime, though that is part of it; maybe even the catalyst in the United States, at least. I’m talking about the regime in general; the system.

You can see it in places like Greece. There the government has been fighting for its economic life. Years of socialist redistribution — theft from the producers to finance the growing State leviathan and unionized public and private sector employees — have caught up.

The government is now instituting “austerity” measures. It has to. It can’t meet its obligations. So it’s cutting back on growth in salaries, vacation days, benefits and pensions. Unionized public works employees and service employees aren’t happy their gravy train has jumped the tracks. They strike and riot. Greece may or may not survive.

Much the same is going on in other parts of Europe. The French government’s plans to save money by raising the retirement age to 62 from 60 sparked a one-day strike among workers from the public and private sectors in transportation, education, justice, healthcare, media and banking.

The “little people” are waking up to the fact that their governments — the elected class — have done them a disservice. Their regimes, financed by fiat money and having positioned themselves as the “Great Nannies,” are unable to fulfill promises of utopia, wine and roses.

Part of the reason, Israel is being so stubborn on the settlement freeze, is the fact that the Palestinians will not recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

This is getting little press, as God predicted it would, all the pressure would be on Israel.  This article has an interesting twist based on the refusal to recognize Israel.

It seems like a very reasonable, logical step to discuss.  How will the media frame the issue?

Lieberman: Peace talks must reassess Israeli-Arabs’ right to citizenship

With the Palestinians refusing to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, negotiations must tackle issue of Israeli-Arab ‘loyalty’, foreign minister says – prompting accusations of ‘apartheid and ethnic cleansing’ from Arab MK.

The question of Israeli citizenship must play a central role in Middle East peace talks, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Sunday, suggesting that “disloyal” Arab-Israelis should take Palestinian citizenship.

“The question of Israel’s citizens needs to be one of the central issues on the negotiating table, in light of the Palestinian refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state,” Lieberman said ahead of Sunday’s weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem.

Recognizing Israel as uniquely Jewish is one of the key demands by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the latest peace talks with the Palestinians, which began earlier this month.

Mideast officials fly to US as talks crisis looms

Top Israeli and Palestinian officials on Sunday headed for the United States where they were expected to seek ways to break a deadlock over settlements which is threatening to sabotage peace talks.

Israeli President Shimon Peres left shortly after midnight on a four-day visit to coincide with the UN General Assembly meeting in New York, and a few hours later Defence Minister Ehud Barak set off for talks in Washington.

Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, currently in Amman, was also to fly to New York on Sunday evening for the annual sitting, with efforts under way to arrange a meeting with US President Barack Obama, a senior Palestinian official told AFP.

“There are also preparations for a meeting between (Israeli premier Benjamin) Netanyahu, Obama and Abbas,” he said. “There is an expectation that they will meet.”

Netanyahu’s office said he had no plans to fly to the United States this week, and would not say whether he would meet Abbas before the settlements freeze expires later this month.

Barak: US will supply Israel with bunker busters

Defense minister to meet with top US security officials in DC; Jerusalem believes Washington will agree to supply Israel with advanced cruise missiles, bombs designed to penetrate underground facilities

Defense Minister Ehud Barak is visiting Washington once again ahead of planned meetings with top security officials in the American administration.

Barak is expected to meet several top ranking officials Monday in order to secure new and advanced weaponry for Israel, especially in view of the latest arms deals in the Middle East.

The recent Russian ballistic missile sale to Syria and the arms deal between the US and Saudi Arabia, have Israel seeking to widen the technological gap in warfare between the IDF and Arab militaries.

Jerusalem is optimistic and believes Washington will agree to meet previously declined demands for advanced weaponry, such as “bunker busters” – bombs which are designed to penetrate hardened undergound targets – such as bunkers, as implied by their name – as well as advanced cruise missiles.
