Daily Headlines

This first article details the cascade of events which will occur in the EU when Greece eventually defaults and when it does, the ramifications will be significant:

What happens when Greece defaults

It is when, not if. Financial markets merely aren’t sure whether it’ll be tomorrow, a month’s time, a year’s time, or two years’ time (it won’t be longer than that). Given that the ECB has played the “final card” it employed to force a bailout upon the Irish – threatening to bankrupt the country’s banking sector – presumably we will now see either another Greek bailout or default within days.


Below we see the beginning effects which will occur upon this expected Greek default. The article lists several more events and effects which will stem from the default - they are all worth reading; below is just a sample:

- Every bank in Greece will instantly go insolvent.
- The Greek government will nationalise every bank in Greece.
- The Greek government will forbid withdrawals from Greek banks.
- To prevent Greek depositors from rioting on the streets, Argentina-2002-style (when the Argentinian president had to flee by helicopter from the roof of the presidential palace to evade a mob of such depositors), the Greek government will declare a curfew, perhaps even general martial law.


Pakistan's nuclear weapons, safe or not?

ISLAMABAD: An assault on a naval base in Karachi is the latest militant attack on military installations in Pakistan, raising fears about the safety of the country’s nuclear arsenal.

Pakistan has the fastest growing nuclear arsenal in the world and in a decade could pass France as the fourth-largest nuclear power, so such brazen attacks on secure military establishments – militants also attacked the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi in 2009 – give Western leaders nightmares about militants acquiring nuclear materials, or worse, an entire weapon.


U.S.: Al Qaeda has interest in strikes on energy infrastructure

The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have warned police across the United States that al Qaeda has a "continuing interest" in attacking oil and natural gas targets, a department spokesman said Friday.

The warning issued Thursday came as a result of information seized during the May 2 raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, a U.S. official said.

CNN obtained a copy of a DHS/FBI intelligence bulletin that says al Qaeda has been interested in "targeting unspecified oil tankers abroad" as a means to "draw the West into an extreme economic crisis" by disrupting a significant portion of the oil supply for several years.


Is Iran culpable in 9/11? It 'knew about terror attacks before they happened and trained hijackers'

Iran knew about 9/11 before it happened and helped train hijackers, court papers say.

Lawyers representing September 11th victims’ families claim new evidence shows Iranian officials assisted in training hijackers and had advanced word of the attacks.

There is ‘clear and convincing’ evidence for damages and a federal judge should find Iran culpable in the terror attacks, according to papers filed in Manhattan, New York.


Waging War by decree

Why is this article significant? Just look at the third paragraph below for a clue:

Barack Obama basically stomped on the War Powers Act last week in a hissy fit proclaiming that it did not apply to his Libyan War/Conflict kinetic military action.
Showing clear disdain for the Act and America in general, Obama claimed that it was not applicable since the Libyan debacle was not actually a full-blown war. Under the War Powers Act, the President has 60 days to get authorization from Congress for any military involvement, and if he fails to get that authorization, he must end the involvement within 30 days. The 60-day authorization period expired on Friday the 20th. He penned a letter to Congress saying that the role of the US in the conflict was so limited that he does not need to seek congressional approval.

Bovine excrement. From the beginning of Obama’s invoking the Responsibility to Protect Doctrine, the Obama administration has cited the 1973 War Powers Act as the legal basis of its ability to conduct military activities for 60 days without first seeking a declaration of war from Congress. Now he disowns the Act and in typical forked tongue fashion, he utilizes the War Powers Act and then dismisses it when it is no longer pertinent to his agenda. You know, sort of like the way he views our Constitution.

The Libyan debacle was never voted on because Obama knew it would never be passed. Libya was not a current threat to the US. I contend it was a dry run to see how Responsibility to Protect would play out if used in other actions. Such as, just being hypothetical here, Israel.


Obama's call for Israel to self-destruct

This article presents an excellent overview of Israel's claim to their land and the various significant events in the region since 1948. The following paragraphs represent the introduction to this detailed article:

President Obama demands that Israel withdraw to armistice lines that existed after the Arab-Israel War of 1948 ended. These lines did not constitute a border but merely the military positions that existed after the Arab attempt to annihilate Israel failed.

In six days in June, 1967, Israel was forced to fight another war for its survival against a new aggression by Egypt, Syria and Jordan. All three Arab countries lost territory as a direct result of their new genocidal war against the Jewish state failed again.

As a consequence, Israel threw back the Syrian army from its positions on the Golan Heights; the strategic high ground from which Syria had bombarded and shelled Israeli farmers in the Hula Valley below and Israeli fishermen on the Sea of Galilee.

Egypt lost the Sinai Peninsula and Israeli forces dug in on the eastern bank of the Suez Canal and developed the Abu Rodeis oil field. All the territory and the oil fields were given away to Egypt in return for a piece of paper; a peace treaty which now is at the point of being torn up by a likely new Egyptian government under the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Jordan, which had nineteen years earlier invaded and occupied the territory they subsequently called the West Bank and divided the city of Jerusalem in half, were also thrown back after launching an all-out attack upon Israel.

As a result, the ancestral and biblical Jewish heartland of Judea and Samaria was liberated from Jordanian Arab occupation. At the same time, Jews were able to pray again at their ancient holy places and synagogues in Jerusalem, which had been desecrated by the Muslim Arabs. Jerusalem, under Israel’s governance was now for the first time open freely to members of all religions to worship; something the Jordanians had forbidden.


And this part of the commentary (below) is critical to understanding the conflict in the region:

The Arab-Israel conflict is not, and never has been, merely a war over territory. It is, and always has been, a religious war. Islam will never accept a non-Muslim state, whatever size or shape it may be, within lands previously conquered by Muslims in the name of Allah. This is a paramount and fundamental fact, which strangely is never understood.

Look at what the Muslims have done to once primarily Christian Lebanon and what fate awaits the Christian Copts in an increasingly Muslim Brotherhood Egypt. That is why “land for peace"is nonsense. Tiny Israel can give precious land away but it will never receive peace from the Muslim Arab world.

Thus the “two-state solution”, so beloved of President Obama and President George Bush before him, requires the biblical Jewish heartland of Judea and Samaria (so-called West Bank) to be given away to the Arabs who call themselves Palestinians.

But these Arabs have no intention of making peace, which should be enough for any Israeli government and Prime Minister with intestinal fortitude to defy the world’s pressure for the Jewish state to slowly and surely disappear.

Pushing Israel back to the “Auschwitz lines”, as Abba Eban, Israel’s early UN delegate and former Foreign Minister had called them, where the Jewish state is only nine miles wide at its most populous region, is what the “Two-State Solution” is all about.

This is what Barack Hussein Obama now demands of Israel. That other dread euphemism employed by the Nazis, “The Final Solution,” was code for the Holocaust, and now comes chillingly to mind.

Re: "Responsibility to Protect"
It will be stunning if my country (the US) moves to openly and directly attack or use force against Israel... simply stunning. It would forever alter my attitude towards my Federal government. -jweaks

Dylan said...

I sure hope that Canada doesn't join in (although it probably will) the attack against israel. And btw Scott, I wont be on from Wednesday to Monday, so say happy birthday to your daughter when it's her birthday.(is it on Friday or Saturday?)

I have already changed my mind about my government since O'bama's speech Thursday to betray our long time friend israel so blatantly!

Scott said...

Dylan,
Its on Saturday - I'll tell her :)

WV -Yea, this one is pretty bad - I seriously do worry about Genesis 12:3.

Sue - we're a 'hairs breath' away from just going ahead and implementing something like the "mark". If you think about it, it really would solve a lot of problems..In fact if I didn;t know prophecy, I would probably be in favor of the chip.

Scott said...

James,

I'm beginning to believe that its a strong possibility that the whole Libya thing was stage setting for using "Responsibility to Protect" in Israel.

Also - you have to wonder why the same 'doctrine' isn't being used in Syria or many of the other nations. I think we're in Libya because Europe needs Libyan oil...So its arbitrarily used whenever its "needed" IMO..

We;ll see, but it wouldn't surprise me at all to see us use this bogus 'doctine'

Dylan said...

Scott, if I wasn't aware of prophecy, I'd be in favor of RFID too.

Scott said...

Hey, Thanks for the happy birthday (from her not me) :)

Dear Scott >>>

i think i know whats going on....

AN EVIL GAME

its being played out against the
Jews.

(1) Hamas is told to COOL IT on the
rocket fire....and they abide by that....

(2) Bibi, Netanyahu goes to WA but
JUST before he leaves Israel,
Mr. Obama has his big speech...

(3) Hamas HAS TO cool it from pressure from Abbas, EU, and
Eygpt.

(4) This lull in rocket fire is
DELIBERATE to pressure the Jews
into giving up land gained in
June 1967.

(5) When these Arabs get what they
want, then all HELL breaks loose.

or if they DONT get what they want,
then they will attack Israel
anyway.....soon......

This explains why Hezballoh is also
very quiet...

Is Iran culpable in 9/11?
This is just more Oz redirection ... "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain", Don't look at the magician's other hand...

Watch the Google video documentary - "Loose Change 2nd Edition", 2007 [it's about an 1-1/2hrs so get some popcorn...] If yer not a believer after seeing it you've got some parts missing in the attic. -

All the ex-special forces guys that I have ever talked to say it was CD from the inside. [And who, BTW, owned the "security" co for the WTC??? Why, it wuz Marvin Bush, "W"s other brother that you never hear anything about...]

All the scientist & engineers that have websites for 911truth say it's physically impossible to have happened the way da_gubmint claims. They all say that we don't have to show/prove how it was actually done or who did it. All we have to prove is that the gubmint is "fabricating" & deliberately not telling the truth about it. That is the definition of "conspiracy"!

As a certified welder for many yrs and a welding instructor teaching all phases of welding & cutting I can assure you that those 47 massive vertical steel columns [each 1 solidly welded into a continuous 1 piece, 110 story beam, not riveted like the old days,] could not have been even remotely weakened by jet fuel [a kerosine], which burns about 1500-1800F with a good oxygen supply!!!

The black smoke billowing out is PROOF that it was severly oxygen starved and only burning around 800F!

It takes an Oxy-Acetylene torch with a blue-white flame tip temp around 6000F to weaken and cut thru moderate thicknesses, 1/2" to 3-4" of steel.

Anything thicker & you have to use something electric; Carbon-Arc gouging or Plasma cutting torch.

[or you can use specially "shaped" explosive charges, AKA "cutting charges"... These bring down beeg buildings into nice piles of 20ft beams that can be quickly loaded onto scrap-metal ships to China sozs there's no evidence of Thermite left behind to tell tales...] ... [that also might account fer the large pool of molten steel in the basement that took more than a couple of week to cool off...]

Anyway, where wuz I ... Oh yeah, coonta been "cut" & come down any other way than CD.

Scott, What happened to my comment: Is Iran culpable in 9/11?
Wuz that you or "them"?
If I get too edgy 4 you I can respect that. I just need to know who's dinging me.

Scott said...

DrNo - I'll go take a look

Stephen - that makes sense. Will be interesting to see

Scott said...

DrNo - it went to spam for some reason.

James, if you are still on this thread, you had something that went to spam as well.

Scott said...

DrNo

As far as the whole 911 thing, I don't have the kind of background that allows me to make reasonable determinations over what happened on 911.

I am disturbed by the number of structural engineers who say pretty much you are saying.

But more importantly to me - is the situation over building 7. There was absolutely no reason for that building to have gone down, and I don't believe for a second that some burning debris landed on or in the building leading to its obvious demolition. The whole building 7 story is deeply disturbing.

But having said that - I have never understood the immediate knee-jerk "Bush and Chaney did it". IOW, I never understood the argument that this was planned therefore it had to have been done by Bush et al.

Bottom line for me - I don't know enough to assess what happened. There are a ton of structural engineers who say there is no way the planes could have demolished the buildings in the symmetrical manner in which they fell (again, I am not qualified or understand the situation enough to make a reasonable 'decision'. But with building 7 - one can easily see it didn't have much damage at all - very minimal, and the so-called "fire" in this building was VERY unimpressive - certainly not enough to bring a building down. And that bothers me. Not to mention that it too, fell, in the same way that demolished (planned) buildings fall.

I personally don't bother with conspiracy theories if there's no way to know the truth. Btw tell your daughter "no problem".

DrNoFog-Im with you my brother. I haven't seen loose change 2 but one of the guys whose experience in Indiana led to the creation of the movie....He ended up in Cali at my spot for about a week a few years ago. it was before the first loose change was released and he was laying low as you can imagine. Doc, at first i thought you were a right wing republican, and maybe you are :-) and it really worried me because the dem/rep battle is dividing our nation and just like the racial thing did before (only in the fact that "they" are the ones using it to divide us). if you dig deep enough, you will find every president, even those who espouse Christianity, are in on it. The Bushes, both of them, really love NWO. remember 1000 points of light speach. If you have ever seen Bush and Clinton dancing around together drunk at the Bohemian Club worshipping the god molech well its certainly an eye opener! Sorry to digress but i am a Jesusiclan or Jesuscrat. Whatever, im going with the guy upstairs. These goobers they give us a choice of to vote for are ridiculous! please lord, rapture us before the next election!

I want to apologize to Scott and everyone else for my occasional rants! The "conspiracies", unfortunately for all of us, are mostly true. In the ssme way the Bible teaches the spirit of the a.c. is with us (and this was 2000 years ago) even then, so it is with us now. This all cumulates with the A.C.-taking power and ruling the WORLD with one government, money, religon etc. We prophecy watchers know this and are searching for the signs. There are others who see the signs but don't know God. These are conspiracy theorists! Sometimes we get them here and they sound well, mentally ill. Its because when you figure out what is really going on, who is behind it all etc., it sends you right ovrr the edge. If you figure out satans plan and your not a Christian...well he tries to either kill you or steals your mind! You want to swing someone over to Christ, find a unsaved conspiracy theorist! Because they have seen the real evil worked through man. Just as survivors of nazi death camps know what evil really truly is!-ally

Anon said... "...a right wing republican..."

Right wing - yes, republican - no, ... Constitution party; created by Christians, for Christians.

The Lame Stream Media has done a masterful job of maligning "Right" as = Fascism, when nothing could be further from the truth. Fascism and Nazism are at the far left end about 2 inches to the "right" of Communism and the LSM has parroted the commie cry that Hitler and El Duce are/were "right wing"! And "We the Sheeple" bought it hook, line, and now we be sinking...

Most people in Am are "conservative" by nature, but have been hijacked in the edu/indoctrination sys into believing that "liberalism" means an open, caring heart when, in fact, it's been a cloak for a den of commies. "We" want to "conserve" our environment, "conserve" our natural resources, "conserve" our way of Life, Liberty, and our "property".

As far as a 2party sys ... back when JFK 1st got "elected", Nikita Khrushchev came over for a state visit. JFK made some noise at him about how even a Catholic could get elected in a free 2 party system. Nikiti afterwards sent him a newsreel showing a line of little old peasant ladies in dark overcoats and headscarfs stuffing their ballots into a large cardboard box, with a narrator braying about how they have 'free' election also.

What he didn't say was they had a 'choice' of commie party member 'A', or commie party member 'B'.

It wasn't but a yr or 2 later after reading "The Invisible Government", that I realized that we have that same choice here, too, since every "Prez" since 1927 has been a member of Rockefeller's private organization, the CFR!

Our "choice": Illuminati/CFR Democrat 'A' , or Illuminati/CFR Republican 'B'...

ally, that wuz NOT intended to be a LOL, but rather a SBT [Sad, But True.]

And you don't have to "...apologize to Scott and everyone else..."! Scott's a really big, long-time "conspiracy theorist". He's just trying to repackage himself [AGore style] as an "On to the open 'Agenda'" type [kinda like the commies calling themselves "Progressives"...]

"plasticene..." Hmmm! Have you been listening to "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Lucy in the Sky wif Diamonds" again ["plasticene porters with looking glass ties"]?!?
