Alaska’s Jewish Community on Palin Selection

Sarah Palin has established a great relationship with the Jewish community over recent years, and has attended several of our Jewish cultural gala events,” said Rabbi Yossel Greenberg, Chabad emissary in Alaska.

Palin has shown solidarity with Israel by signing a State of Alaska Resolution recognizing Israel’s 60th Anniversary and its relationship with Alaska. In the resolution, Governor Palin pointed to Alaska’s special connection to Israel dating back to Alaska Airlines’ participation in the rescue of 40,000 Yemenite Jews when it airlifted them from Yemen to Tel Aviv during 1948 and 1949.

Drafted by members of the Alaska Legislation and heavily supported by Speaker of the House, Representative John Harris, Governor Palin signed the resolution in the presence of Alaska’s Jewish community leaders this June.

According to Greenberg, Governor Palin had plans to visit Israel with members of the Jewish community, which did not happen yet because of scheduling conflicts.

Conspiracy Collapses the Dollar

by Alan Stang

By now it is obvious that Ponzi Paulson and Bozo Ben Bernanke are deliberately collapsing the dollar. The proof is that no one could be so stupid by accident. They are collapsing the dollar to panic the people into acceptance of the “Amero,” the currency of the North American Union, which is the regional government composed of the former United States, Canada and Mexico, on the way to total world government.

Remember that it was I who devised the best name for the new nation: Canusexico. Notice that it includes portions of the names of the three former countries, and it includes sex, without which the inmates of the new nation would not acquiesce. You can’t sell anything without sex.

A transformation of such magnitude could be imposed only in a state of emergency, in which a people formatted since early childhood in Communist government schools and then by the Communist media demand that the District of Criminals “do something.” Forget the government’s phony inflation statistics. Go to the supermarket and see for yourself. We are on the way to the Weimar Republic. Sieg Heil!

AMERICANS EMBRACING THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION

by Devvy Kidd

My column on the FDA produced more than 2500 emails this past week; the master list of diseases is now updated. The issue of a nation self medicating on dangerous drugs approved by the FDA really struck a chord. In that column, I pointed out two major factors why Americans are so apathetic and stumbling through life without a clue: fluoride and aspartame.

However, it goes even deeper. By reducing the population to little better than the level of cattle with only basic feelings like hunger, need for water and herding them with a prod (mother government), down goes self-reliance, self-determination and courage. Fed, watered and led to the slaughter house. How is this done? The master plans for inculcating the communist morality (communitarianism) into the American landscape has been underway for a century and that’s exactly what it does to people: takes away their self-esteem, individualism, their drive for success and lumps them in with the “community.” They are manipulated into believing that a Godless (secular) nation is good; what the Founding Fathers wanted! This is necessary for communism to exist and thrive.

Another good example of manipulation: elections. This metaphor sums it up perfectly: It’s like a student taking driving lessons. The first time out, the student gets the fake steering wheel while the instructor is actually controlling the vehicle. But, the fake steering wheel makes the student “feel” he has control and that perception is all important when evil forces take over a country.

Pretty harsh, but our elections have been controlled for more than 40 years, not by we the people, but by those who lust for power and money. They have used advanced technology (electronic voting machines and scanners) - the real steering wheel, while the people have been given the fake one. The American people believe they’re given a choice, dutifully go to the ballot box, hold their nose and vote for the lesser of the two evils [against the other party] and play right into the hands of the destroyers who made them “feel” like they’ve done the right thing. Compliant, willing, the herding technique essential for brutal dictatorships to exist.

THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT IS AWOL FROM THE REAL WAR

By Chuck Baldwin

July 23, 2008

I want to begin this column with one of my all-time favorite quotes. It comes from the great German reformer Martin Luther. He said, “If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved; and to be steady on all the battlefield besides is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.”

Luther’s trenchant statement reminds us that today’s Christians, especially our Christian leaders, are conspicuously absent from the field of battle. Oh, they may host large crowds in their gatherings; they may deposit multiplied millions of dollars in their financial accounts; they may receive thunderous applause from politicians, but they have fled the battlefield at the point of attack.

For the record, the real battlefield today is not abortion. It is not homosexual marriage. It is not Social Security. It is not al Qaeda. It is not taxes. It is not inflation. It is not electing conservatives. It is not posting the Ten Commandments. It is not even the high cost of gasoline. That is not to say that those issues are not important and not deserving of our best efforts and attention, because they are. But those issues do not represent the major battlefield today.

The battlefield where the devil has amassed his greatest forces and is thrusting his deadliest armies is the surrender of our national sovereignty and independence, and the creation of global government. And it is our own political and corporate leaders that are facilitating this chicanery. Furthermore, by refusing to oppose this surrender, our Christian leaders are complicit as well.

Obviously, the surrender of our independence has been ongoing for some time. However, under Bill Clinton and especially under G.W. Bush, the pace has quickened exponentially.

U.S. terrorist list hits 1 mln names

WASHINGTON, July 14 (Xinhua) — The U.S. terrorist watch list now has 1 million names on it, partly due to the loose criteria for adding names to the list, a rights group said Monday.

“America’s new million record watch list is a perfect symbol for what’s wrong with this administration’s approach to security,” Barry Steinhardt, a spokesman for American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), said in a statement.

“It’s unfair, out-of-control, a waste of resources, treats the rights of the innocent as an afterthought, and is a very real impediment in the lives of million of travelers in this country,” he added.

The Inspector General of the Justice Department reported last year that the Terrorist Screening Center had over 700,000 names as of April 2007 and that the list was growing by an average of 20,000 names per month.

Drash: I thought this thing was rejected by the House and/or Senate?  Sheesh.  How is this sort of thing possible?  Giving retroactive immunity for crimes against Americans? 
=========

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush signed a bill Thursday that overhauls rules about government eavesdropping and grants immunity to telecommunications companies that helped the U.S. spy on Americans in suspected terrorism cases.

He called it “landmark legislation that is vital to the security of our people.”

Bush signed the measure in a Rose Garden ceremony a day after the Senate sent it to him, following nearly a year of debate in the Democratic-led Congress over surveillance rules and the warrantless wiretapping program Bush initiated after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It was a battle that pitted privacy and civil liberties concerns against the desire to prevent terrorist attacks and Democrats’ fears of being portrayed as weak when it comes to protecting the country.

The sad saga of a soldier from Long Island
BY MARTIN C. EVANS

The March 2003 image became one of the most iconic of the U.S. invasion of Iraq: that of a bespectacled American soldier carrying an Iraqi child to safety. The photograph of Army Pfc. Joseph Dwyer, who was raised in Mount Sinai, was used by news outlets around the world.

After being lionized by many as the human face of the U.S. effort to rebuild a troubled Iraq, Dwyer brought the battlefield home with him, often grappling violently with delusions that he was being hunted by Iraqi killers.

His internal terror got so bad that, in 2005, he shot up his El Paso, Texas, apartment and held police at bay for three hours with a 9-mm handgun, believing Iraqis were trying to get in.

Last month, on June 28, police in Pinehurst, N.C., who responded to Dwyer’s home, said the 31-year-old collapsed and died after abusing a computer cleaner aerosol. Dwyer had moved to North Carolina after living in Texas.

Dwyer, who joined the Army two days after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and who was assigned to a unit of the 3rd Infantry Division that one officer called “the tip of the tip of the spear” in the first days of the U.S. invasion, had since then battled depression, sleeplessness and other anxieties that military doctors eventually attributed to post-traumatic stress disorder.

The war that made him a hero at 26 haunted him to the last moments of his life.

“He loved the picture, don’t get me wrong, but he just couldn’t get over the war,” his mother, Maureen Dwyer, said by telephone from her home in Sunset Beach, N.C. “He wasn’t Joseph anymore. Joseph never came home.”

My last column on The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, brought some very ugly email as well as one polite disagreement. Let’s look at what two Americans had to say about my column. Email one:

“…withdraw from this heinous, unconstitutional war in Iraq (and Afghanistan).” When I read lines like this in your column.. I think many things… sick and demented..a traitor… a fellow traveler…a frustrated woman perhaps sexually repressed and therefore hates men. What ever… I think you ought to go on a long vacation into wherever it is your fantasy exists. I hope your car blows up and fuel for it becomes non-existant. I hope lightning destroys the transmission lines to your part of town and somehow you are blamed for it. The “sick and demented” I guess it the most fitting description.” Semper Fidelis. Larry Pate

In order to avoid this kind of juvenile ranting; I simply hit the block box so I will no longer receive email from the sender. Bush’s invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan was and is unconstitutional. ONLY Congress has the power to declare war. In order to change that, you have to amend the U.S. Constitution. Of course, since the U.S. unlawfully entered into this unholy alliance with the communist UN, members of Congress and presidents simply ignore the law of the land.

During Congressional hearings on going to war against Iraq, treasonous Council on Foreign Relations point dog in the House, Rep. Henry Hyde, [R-Il] stated that declaring war is “anachronistic, it isn’t done anymore…” A darling of the deaf, dumb and blind socialists [liberals], the late, Tom Lantos, [D-Ca] called the declaration of war “frivolous and mischievous.” On January 7, 1999, USA TODAY, former Clinton Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich said, “…when the president decides to go to war, he no longer needs a declaration of war from Congress.”

Really? Who died and made these pompous weasels kings in this country? These quivering cowards in Congress dodged their sworn oaths to allow this unconstitutional invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan by falling back on a resolution; click here. Side stepping the U.S. Constitution has become the norm, while the American people “patriotically” send their husbands, wives and children into unnecessary wars to enrich the corrupt.

What is grotesque about the invasion and occupation of Iraq? Let’s start with the human element. 4,107 of our soldiers have been killed so far; tens of thousands injured and maimed for life. At a minimum,100,000 innocent men, women and children killed in Iraq by U.S. and other allies. Millions displaced from their lives and homes. This is one of our soldiers who will pay the price for Bush’s lies for the rest of his life. “This twenty-year-old young man was trapped for twenty minutes in a fiery ammunition truck in Iraq. He was left with disfiguring burns on his face, head, arms and legs. This is what he looks like after more than two dozen surgeries.”

The U.S. military has been using depleted uranium in their ordnance for decades. Email number two came from a Mr. Mann, who was polite in his comments. He said I was operating more on emotion than fact about the invasion of Iraq. Regarding DU, he said:

“Yes, spall (or dust) comes off of the DU round-only when it hits armor or something really hard. It is so depleted though that it is BARELY above the earth’s own background radiation levels. I know you won’t believe it, but DoD studies before DU was accepted show this. You can probably find it on the internet once you get past the hype. There is a problem when you enter an armor vehicle shot with it-so keep people out of shot up tanks! But, it works. It is war. Bombs pollute. Cluster bombs only have a 60-70% explosion rate and become mines that do hurt innocents.”

Depleted Uranium Shells Used by U.S. Military Worse Than Nuclear Weapons

Inhaled or ingested DU particles are highly toxic, and DU has been classified as an illegal weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority has estimated that 50 tons of DU dust from the first Gulf War could lead to 500,000 cancer deaths by the year 2000. To date, a total of 2,000 tons have been generated in the Middle East….”More than ten times the amount of radiation released during atmospheric testing [of nuclear bombs] has been released from DU weaponry since 1991,” said Leuren Moret, a U.S. nuclear scientist. “The genetic future of the Iraqi people, for the most part, is destroyed. The environment now is completely radioactive.” Because DU has a half-life of 4.5 billion years, the Middle East will, for all practical purposes, be radioactive forever.”

Why does the following remind me of Horton Hears a Who?  

Is pastor Biltz making the assumption that Yeshua is “hard of hearing” or perhaps is off doing something more interesting, like bowling with the angels or something…   At any rate, there is no need to engage in such a foolish exercise.  No one can force God’s hand or affect the day or time of the prophesied End of Days.  Even Yeshua told us as much (Matt. 24:36, etc.)

Worldwide wave of horns, shouting planned in time zones across planet

An American pastor who made news in April by studying NASA’s eclipse calendar to speculate on the return of Jesus Christ to Earth is now planning a worldwide blast of trumpets this fall to get God’s attention.

Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries in Bonney Lake, Wash., is organizing the global “Day of Shouting” for the evening of Sept. 29, marking the annual biblical holiday known as the Feast of Trumpets.
The event is still in its early planning stages, with Blitz posting this invitation on his website:

You know how at sporting events they have “the wave” where one group starts it and then it cycles all the way around back to the beginning? Do you remember how at the year 2000 they showed on television all the New Year celebrations going on around the world as the new millennium began? …

Let’s have an around the world shofar assembly in every time zone on the Feast of Trumpets at sunset announcing to Messiah we are awake and anxiously anticipating His return. What a dress rehearsal! Won’t that stir His heart?

We will list on our website all the cities in the different time zones that are participating and hopefully we can get people from every tongue, tribe and nation participating as we join in proclaiming Yeshua (Jesus) as our coming King!

A shofar is a trumpet-like instrument made from the horn of a ram or other biblically clean animal, and was sounded not only at the new year and new moons, but also as a call to wake up and repent.

…

Since announcing his plan, Biltz told WND, “The response has been phenomenal with people responding from Arabic countries as well as Asia, Europe, Africa and America.”

Indeed, a chart of time zones and participants on his website shows residents in many time zones already signing up.

“Very happy to be part of this,” writes Dawn Piper of Durban, South Africa. “Maranatha!”

Trevia Jimenez of Brooklyn, N.Y. said, “This is so cool. You go, Pastor Mark!”

Even folks in the Optimist Club are having a tough time toeing an upbeat line these days. Eighteen members of the volunteer organization’s Gilbert, Ariz., chapter have gathered, a few days before this nation’s 232nd birthday, to focus on the positive: Their book drive for schoolchildren and an Independence Day project to place American flags along the streets of one neighborhood.

They beam through the Pledge of Allegiance, applaud each other’s good news - a house that recently sold despite Arizona’s down market, and one member’s valiant battle with cancer. “I didn’t die,” she says as the others cheer.

But then talk turns to the state of the Union, and the Optimists become decidedly bleak.

They use words such as “terrified,” “disgusted” and “scary” to describe what one calls “this mess” we Americans find ourselves in. Then comes the list of problems constituting the mess: a protracted war, $4-a-gallon gas, soaring food prices, uncertainty about jobs, an erratic stock market, a tougher housing market, and so on and so forth.

One member’s son is serving his second tour in Iraq. Another speaks of a daughter who’s lost her job in the mortgage industry and a son in construction whose salary was slashed. Still another mentions a friend who can barely afford gas.

Joanne Kontak, 60, an elementary school lunch aide inducted just this day as an Optimist, sums things up like this: “There’s just entirely too much wrong right now.”

Happy birthday, America? This year, we’re not so sure.
