The Daily WAR (09-07)

Reading between the lines;
Thinking outside the box...
 
[WAR note: Still not starting up the WAR just yet, but thought I'd take a little time on this lazy pagan day to post an issue...]
 
 
 
    The Vatican will establish copyright protection on the use of the name, the image and symbols associated with the head of the Roman Catholic Church. The Holy See intends to hold the exclusive right for their use, the Catholic News Agency said.
 
    Pope Benedict delivered his traditional Christmas Day blessing this morning, looking tired and unsteady but otherwise fine just hours after being knocked down by a woman who jumped the barrier at the start of Midnight Mass in St. Peter's Basilica.
 
    Pope Benedict XVI condemned the the Holocaust as being inspired by "the hatred of a blind ideology", 2 days after he declared controversial wartime pontiff Pius XII "venerable." The Vatican sparked anger amongst the Jewish community on Saturday with its moves to put Pius closer to sainthood.
    The Catholic Church has long argued that Pius XII (1939 to 1958), saved many Jews who were hidden away in religious institutions, and that his silence was born out of a wish to avoid aggravating their situation.
 
    The president of the US bishops' conference is lauding Benedict XVI's message for the 43rd World Day of Peace, to be celebrated on New Year's Day.
 
 
 
    German officials have ruled out returning an ancient bust of Queen Nefertiti to Egypt - saying it is too fragile to be transported. The 3,300-year-old bust is the star attraction of the Egyptian collection at the Neues Museum in Berlin.
    Queen Nefertiti is renowned as one of ancient history's great beauties. She was the wife of Pharaoh Akhenaton - who initiated a new religion which involved worshipping the sun.
 
    Germany's mission in Afghanistan is turning into a political liability for Angela Merkel amid fresh signs that the political consensus in favour of the country's military presence is collapsing.
 
There's no business like Shoa business...
    Finance Minister Steinitz will demand between 450 million to 1 billion euros in reparations from Germany on behalf of Jews forced into slave labor during the Holocaust.
 
 
 
    The future of the European continent is impossible without taking into account its Christian heritage, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church said.
 
    His evolution from fascist cheerleader to polished statesman is one of the most remarkable transformations in Italian politics.
    And now Gianfranco Fini's new-found role as a voice of moderation in Italy's centre-Right government makes him one of the most potent threats to Silvio Berlusconi.
 
    At the close of the "noughties", Europe will still be grappling with the aftermath of the worst economic crisis since the 1930s as the 21st century shows the world still to be an uncertain place.
 
    In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Ramzan Kadyrov, a 33-year-old former rebel turned Kremlin loyalist, said Russia should draft a new military strategy to resist the United States and other Western powers, which are stoking disorder in the north Caucasus to destroy Russia.
    "If they get control of the Caucasus, you could say they`ll get control of virtually all of Russia, because the Caucasus is our backbone."
 
    Senior Ukrainian and Russian diplomats were on the phone Thursday to ease tensions after Chechen President Kadyrov told Reuters that Russia must "attack" Ukraine and Georgia for their pro-Western foreign policy course.
 
 
 
    Turkey has run afoul of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United States as a result of its defense of Iran's nuclear program and recent agreements on multi-billion dollar projects with Tehran, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
    Despite being a member of NATO, Turkey has backed Iran's nuclear program and plans to expand dramatically its economic and trade relationship with Iran in the face of existing international sanctions.
 
    Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu held a 90 minute session of talks with former Foreign Minister Livni as he tried to court the floundering opposition Kadima Party into his coalition.
    The party formed out of a split in the Likud Party in late 2005, with Ariel Sharon's faction forming Kadima and Netanyahu's remaining in control of Likud.
    With Sharon out of the political scene the party's purpose has become increasingly nebulous, and it is hurtling toward a very ugly split, with much of the faction looking to return to Likud.
 
    About 200 Israeli teenagers soon to be drafted have sent a letter to Defense Minister Ehud Barak saying they would refuse to enforce any government orders to dismantle settlements in the West Bank.
 
    Israel has threatened another massive war against the Gaza Strip as the impoverished enclave continues to suffer in the aftermath of the devastating January offensive.
 
    The increased violence in Yemen is a clear indication that military campaigns to crush al-Qaeda-inspired violence extend far beyond the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
    It also shows up hostile fault-lines within the Middle East, pitting mainly Shia Iran against Sunni Saudi Arabia, who condemn each other for taking sides in Yemen's long-running civil war.
 
    The Yemeni government has confirmed that today's US-backed air strike was aimed at assassinating US-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, and officials speculated that he might have been slain in the attack.
    Though US officials have repeatedly labeled Awlaki an al-Qaeda sympathizer and potentially even a member of the terrorist group, they have so far provided no evidence linking him conclusively with them.
 
 
 
    Iran is making desperate attempts to improve its image in the Arab world as it seeks allies against the increasing threat of war with Israel and America.
    Senior regime leaders have been using the cover of the battle over its nuclear programme to reach out to their many foes in the Middle East.
 
    President Ahmadinejad says some Western countries are using Iran's nuclear program as a pretext to put pressure on the Islamic Republic.
    "It would be better if they were brave enough to openly declare that they are against the Iranian nation because it is an obstacle to their expansionist policies in the world."
 
    Documents revealed last week that appear to show Tehran is working on a nuclear bomb trigger were "forged" by Washington, President Ahmadinejad has told a US news network.
    "They are all fabricated bunch of papers continuously being forged and disseminated by the American government."
 
    Iran has emerged as the victor in secret war games that simulated an Israeli attack on one of its nuclear facilities.
    The exercise, staged by Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies last month, showed that even an Israeli commando raid on Iran's heavy water plant at Arak would not draw the US into a military conflict with Iran.
 
    Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) vowed today that the Senate would tackle a new series of sanctions against the Iranian government as soon as they return from holiday recess in January.
 
    Last week the House overwhelmingly approved a measure to put a new round of sanctions on Iran.
    The sad thing is that many of my colleagues voted for this measure because they felt it would deflect a military engagement with Iran.
    I would put the question to them, how would Congress react if another government threatened our critical trading partners in this way?
    Would we not view it as asking for warIt is designed to foment war by cutting off trade and diplomacy. Sanctions are not diplomacy. They are a precursor to war.
 
 
 
    In an unprecedented move this past week, and (as always) not reported to the American people by their propaganda media organs, the US Supreme Court, in a one-line ruling, declared that torture is an "ordinary, expected consequence of military detention", and stated that anyone who is arbitrarily declared a "suspected enemy combatant" by Obama or his designated officials is "no longer a person."
    Upon his receiving this extraordinary power to strip away from anyone he so chooses their very "personhood", Obama wasted no time in "gathering the dark forces" he will need to finalize the destruction of all those he deems opposed to him by issuing an unprecedented Executive Order [Executive Order 13524/US Federal Register/Vol.74, No. 243/Monday, December 21, 2009/Presidential Documents 67803] granting unlimited power to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) to not only begin arresting American citizens and sending them to overseas prison camps, but also giving to them "unconditional immunity" from all US laws.
 
    So, here's the bottom line: INTERPOL has just been granted complete and utter "diplomatic immunity" within the borders of the United States.
 
And who is running INTERPOL?...
    Ronald K. Noble was elected Secretary General by the 69th INTERPOL General Assembly in Rhodes, Greece, in 2000, and was unanimously reelected to a 2nd 5-year term by the 74th INTERPOL General Assembly in Berlin, Germany, in 2005.
    [WAR: So, ol' Ronald "oKc" Noble is going to be given a free-hand here in the US?
    For those new readers, let me quote from the London Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard:
    "My own conjecture, for what it is worth, is that Strassmeir was a shared asset, on loan to the US government, but ultimately answering to German Intelligence.
    "FBI Director Louis Freeh alluded to this (US neo-nazis stirring up the German far right) in December 1993 after a trip to Germany.
    "It is worth paying some attention to the words of Ron Noble...who accompanied Freeh on the trip to Germany..." (The Secret Life of Bill Clinton)
    Ron Noble doesn't need to be running INTERPOL, which appears to have been given "utter 'diplomatic immunity' within the borders of the United States." He needs to be tried and executed for his criminal involvement in the OKC Bombing!
    And it's kind of ironic that Noble was reelected Secretary General in Germany, where he and (Opus Dei member) Freeh began the operation that led to the OKC Bombing.
    For more info, see The BND in OKC?!]
 
    As Washington's long debate on the Afghan war unfolded, one group had an unhealthy advantage though – based on its record – it should have had no influence at all.
    These are the neoconservatives, and they have captured The Washington Post's editorial pages along with other outlets of elite opinion.
 
    We face a state fiscal crisis of unparalleled dimension – one that is going to sweep over every single person in this state as well as every business and every family.
 
    Senator Mike Johanns voted in favor of a Point of Order declaring that the Senate health care reform bill is unconstitutional, and that Congress lacks the authority to pass the bill into law.
 
    Obamacare, as critics have dubbed Obama's plan to socialize health care, will be flooded with lawsuits if it ever becomes law, according to an organization that works to protect rights and liberties of Americans.
 
    Looks like the steadily growing list of constitutional, ethical and political outrages that constitute the Harry Reid version of Obamacare is sparking a rebellion in the states, as AP reports South Carolina's attorney general plans to investigate the vote-buying that surrounded the proposal in the Senate majority leader's office.
 
No!...
    America will go through a fundamental change in 2010 – guaranteed.
    Either it will be fundamentally transformed into a full-fledged socialist police state, then, ultimately, a communist police state -- or those who still believe in freedom will do whatever it takes to overthrow the oligarchy that now rules over us.
    [WAR: It won't be either-or -- it will be "none of the above."
    "Will not your debtors suddenly arise? Will they not wake up and make you tremble? Then you will become their victim." (Hab 2:7)
    "Therefore, this is what the Holy One of Israel says: 'Because you have rejected this message, relied on oppression and depended on deceit, this sin will become for you like a high wall, cracked and bulging, that collapses suddenly, in an instant.'" (Isa 30:12,13)
    "Disaster will come upon you, and you will not know how to conjure it away. A calamity will fall upon you that you cannot ward off with a ransom; a catastrophe you cannot foresee will suddenly come upon you." (Isa 47:11)]
 
 
 
    The mayor of Detroit has hit the nation with an unemployment shocker. Despite an official rate of 27%, the city's actual unemployment rate is closer to 50%, according to Detroit Mayor Dave Bing.
    The news comes after a recent Red Alert report indicating that many of America's inner cities, including Detroit, have become "dead zones" of predominately Democratic-voting African-American ghettos of poverty.
 
    The recession's jobless toll is draining unemployment-compensation funds so fast that according to federal projections, 40 state programs will go broke within 2 years and need $90 billion in loans to keep issuing the benefit checks.
 
    The government has handed its ATM card to beleaguered mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
    The Treasury Department said Thursday it removed the $400 billion financial cap on the money it will provide to keep the companies afloat.
 
    According to Remington Financial Group, a capital services company based in Scottsdale, Arizona, a lack of bank liquidity poses a severe threat to the commercial real estate market.
    "The commercial real estate industry is a disaster waiting to happen," said the founder and chairman of the company.
    "With US banks in a deep and continuing liquidity crisis and with $1.2 trillion in commercial debt due to mature by 2012, thousands of real estate owners and developers across the country will soon find themselves between a rock and a hard place when their loans mature."
 
    A dangerous economic storm looms, its effects culminating most likely sometime in 2010.
    Many people know its there, they can feel it, but the chains of routine drag them back. "Our world will remain the same tomorrow as it was today…" they tell themselves, "…how could things possibly change?"
 
    These are not small challenges. Any one of them would be a worthy crisis on its own. Put them together and you have the makings of a catastrophe.
    What will happen? Don't know. Wish we did. A series of mini-disasters? Or one big planet-wide blow-up?
 
    ShadowStats.com founder John Williams explains the risk of hyperinflation. Worst-case scenario? Rioting in the streets and devolution to a bartering system.
    "In terms of the GDP, we are about halfway to depression level. If you look at retail sales, industrial production, we are already well into depressionary. If you look at things such as the housing industry, the new orders for durable goods we are in Great Depression territory.
    "If we have hyperinflation, which I see coming not too far down the road, that would be so disruptive to our system that it would result in the cessation of many levels of normal economic commerce, and that would throw us into a great depression, and one worse than was seen in the 1930s."
 
    The cost of borrowing for the British Government has surged to within a whisker of Italian levels as global markets issue their punishing verdict on the Government's spending plans.
 
    The super-strong euro is having sharply varying effects on the different countries in the eurozone and causing the rift between north and south to widen further, according to a new report by Standard & Poor's.
 
 
 
    The many astounding health benefits of pure salt. How we have deprived our body of this simple basic need by feeding it toxins instead.
 
     So who exactly were the wise men who called on King Herod? Where did they come from? And why did they seem to know Jewish prophecy better than the Jews?
    [WAR: As I've stated in previous WARs: the wise men were the descendants of Menelik ("Son of the Wise"; the son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba) who presented the 2-year-old Yahshua with the same 3 gifts that the QOS took to Solomon.
    They had left Ethiopia, traveled along the King's Highway and entered Jerusalem "from the East". Then they "went home by another way" by traveling west into Egypt, then down the Nile to Ethiopia.
    The truth is so much better than tradition!!]
