News Alert: Four dead, 57 injured in terrorist bulldozer rampage in downtown Jerusalem

In a rampage along Jerusalem's crowded Jaffa Street thoroughfare, a bulldozer hoisted and overturned a packed [Number] 13 bus, then extended its shovel and plowed into several vehicles and pedestrians, Wednesday, July 2. One of the threatened drivers managed to throw a baby out of the car window and save its life, before being crushed to death by the oncoming Caterpillar.
The bulldozer driver was tackled and shot dead by two policemen and a passing off-duty soldier who clambered on the vehicle and cut the carnage short opposite the national broadcasting center. A police spokesman said later that they halted the lethal bulldozer only 200 meters short of Jerusalem's big open air market and thus averted a potential massacre.
The terrorist was a Palestinian living in one of the Arab villages of Jerusalem and therefore entitled to move freely around and work in the capital on a resident's ID.

Pentagon Official Warns of Israeli Attack on Iran
U.S. official sees two 'red lines' that could prompt strike

Senior Pentagon officials are concerned that Israel could carry out an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities before the end of the year, an action that would have enormous security and economic repercussions for the United States and the rest of the world.
A senior defense official told ABC News there is an "increasing likelihood" that Israel will carry out such an attack, a move that likely would prompt Iranian retaliation against, not just Israel, but against the United States as well.
The official identified two "red lines" that could trigger an Israeli offensive. The first is tied to when Iran's Natanz nuclear facility produces enough highly enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon. According to the latest U.S. and Israeli intelligence assessments, that is likely to happen sometime in 2009, and could happen by the end of this year.
"The red line is not when they get to that point, but before they get to that point," the official said. "We are in the window of vulnerability."
The second red line is connected to when Iran acquires the SA-20 air defense system it is buying from Russia. The Israelis may want to strike before that system - which would make an attack much more difficult - is put in place.
Some Pentagon officials also worry that Israel may be determined to attack before a new U.S. president, who may be less supportive, is sworn in next January.
Pentagon officials believe the massive Israeli air force exercise in early June, first reported by the New York Times, was done to prepare for a possible attack. A senior official called it "not a rehearsal, but basic, fundamental training" required to launch an operation against Iran.
"The Israeli air force has already conducted the basic exercise necessary to tell their senior leadership, 'We have the fundamentals down.' Might they need some more training and rehearsals? Yes. But have they done the fundamentals? I think that is what we saw," the official told ABC News, adding that if Israel moves closer to military action, he expects to see more exercises like the one conducted in early June . . . .
The widely held view among Pentagon officials is that an Israeli attack would do only temporary damage to Iran's nuclear program, and that it would cause major problems in the region and beyond, prompting a wave of attacks on U.S. interests in Iraq, the Persian Gulf and elsewhere.
As another senior defense official put it, "We'd be guilty by association."

The identity of Israel's post-Olmert prime minister will determine its war options on Iran

According to DEBKAfile's military and intelligence sources, the overriding considerations that will determine if and when Israel attacks Iran are these: whether to strike before George W. Bush's exit; whether Iran's strategic ties with Syria and the Palestinian Hamas can be severed in advance; and what prime minister is chosen to manage the war.
These are the determinants, rather than "the red lines" cited by senior Pentagon officials to ABC News Monday as triggers for an Israeli offensive, namely when Natanz nuclear facility produces enough weapons-grade uranium - some time in 2009 or this year - and when Iran acquires SA-20 air defense systems from Russia.

DEBKAfile quotes intelligence sources as negating those triggers:
(1) Contrary to most reports, including those put out by Teheran, Iran is lagging behind its target date for producing a sufficiency of weapons-grade uranium. It is held up by the technical hitches dogging the smooth, continuous activation of its high-grade centrifuges.
(2) Moscow has suspended all sales of sophisticated air defense systems to Iran and Syria alike - so that Israel has no cause for haste on that score.
(3) That Iran is heading for a nuclear weapon is no longer in doubt. What Israel must decide very soon is whether to strike Iran's production facilities before Bush leaves the White House or wait for his successor to move in, in 2009.
There is a preference in Jerusalem for a date straight after the America's November 4 presidential election - except that military experts warn that weather and lunar conditions at that time of the year are unfavorable.
If Israel does opt for an attack, August and September would be better, they say - or else hold off until March-April 2009.
Israel's political volatility is another major factor in the uncertainty surrounding an attack. Towards the end of September, the ruling Kadima party is committed to a leadership primary. The party's choice of prime minister and the factors that determine how he (or she) reaches a decision on attacking Iran can only be guessed at.
(4) A final consideration must be Israel's ability to prevent Syria and Hamas opening war fronts at the time of Israel's attack on Iran. In other words, the IDF needs to know it must contend with two fronts, Iran and the Lebanese Hizballah, not four.

Notwithstanding these major deterrents, the weight of opinion in Israel's decision-making community at this time is in favor of an early military strike. There is an international consensus that Iran cannot be allowed to attain a nuclear bomb, but no sanctions or incentives are proving effective as preventatives. Therefore, it is felt, the sooner Israel pre-empts a nuclear-armed Iran, the better, because the longer it delays, the more dangerous the Islamic Republic's retaliatory capabilities will become.

Former Mossad chief: Israel must attack Iran
'Or we will find ourselves in very dangerous situation'

HERZLIYA, ISRAEL -- Israel should use force to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, urged a former director of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency in an exclusive interview with World Net Daily.
The comments from Meir Amit, one of the most esteemed figures in the Israeli intelligence establishment, are significant since, until now, he has refused to support an attack against Iran.
"I am in favor of using the power of force against Iran, because if we let things go as they are we will find ourselves in a very dangerous situation," Amit said. "We have good intelligence, and we shall decide what is the right timing for any attack."
Asked about media speculation and statements from officials and former officials that the best window of opportunity for Israel to attack Iran is before President Bush leaves office in January, Amit responded that U.S. politics should not be a consideration.
He also said Israel should not regard the pro-dialogue policies of presidential candidate Barack Obama in its decision on whether or when to attack Iran.
"I suggest we cannot take Obama as a point to influence our activities. We have to control our own activities and decide the right timing," he said.
Pressed on the issue of media reports quoting anonymous Israeli and American officials speaking about the timing of an Israeli strike, Amit replied, "When you decide to attack someone, you don't let that person or country know anything about the timing in advance. You do it at the right moment without any initial warning or announcement."
The former Mossad chief told WND he was not particularly concerned about Iranian threats of massive retaliation in the event of an Israeli strike. [no further content]

Shadow of war looms as Israel flexes its muscle

The meeting at the home of Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was not supposed to be public. The man invited into Olmert's official residence in Jerusalem was Aviam Sela, architect of Operation Opera in 1981, when Israel launched a long-range strike against Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor. Regarded as a brilliant aviation tactician, in particular in the field of in-flight refuelling, Olmert's office tried to play down the meeting. But the rumours in Israel's defence establishment were already flying. Sela, according to sources close to the meeting, had been called in so that Olmert could ask his opinion on the likely effectiveness of a similar raid to Opera on the nuclear installations of Iran. Peace in the Middle East depends on Sela's and Israel's answer ...  MORE

U.S. Fifth Fleet Chief: Iran will not be allowed to close Strait of Hormuz

At a media briefing in Bahrain Monday, June 30, US Vice-Admiral Kevin Cosgriff warned that the United States and its allies would not allow Iran to hamper shipping in the Gulf and close the Strait of Hormuz which carries oil from the world's largest oil exporting region. The US fleet commander was responding to a threat Saturday from Iran's Revolutionary Guards commander, Ali Mohammed Jafari, that Tehran would impose controls on the Gulf and the strategic strait if Iran were attacked.

Iran says Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant to go online in October

TEHRAN (RIA Novosti) -- The Bushehr nuclear power plant (NPP) being built in Iran will be launched in October, a high-ranking Iranian nuclear official said on Sunday. Russia is building the $1-billion facility, Iran's first nuclear power plant, in the south of the country in accordance with a 1995 contract, and under UN supervision as Iran is under international scrutiny over its compliance with the nuclear non-proliferation regime. "The work for the physical launch of the Bushehr NPP will begin at the end of Mehr [a month under the Iranian calendar that lasts from September 22 to October 21]," Ahmad Fayazbakhsh, deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, said.  MORE

Palestinians break through Rafah crossing at Egypt border

GAZA (Xinhua) -- Hundreds of Palestinian travelers broke into the Egyptian side of Rafah crossing on Wednesday, a day after being stuck between the Palestinian and the Egyptian gates, witnesses said. Some of the travelers could cross into the Egyptian territory as Egyptian forces boosted its presence with anti-riot gear. The Egyptians also opened water cannons at the Palestinians who were pushing towards the gates. Palestinian youths threw stones towards Egyptian forces at Rafah crossing and Palestinian forces that deployed on the border. Three Palestinians were reportedly injured by stones. Egypt announced that the crossing was closed following the turmoil, Palestinian sources said.  MORE

Hamas posts 1,000 sentries to block Gaza missile fire on Israel

DEBKAfile's military sources report that the Palestinian Hamas' armed wing, determined to keep fellow terrorist groups from violating the ceasefire with Israel, has in the last two days deployed a string of 1,000 sentries and monitors at the missile sites of the northern Gaza towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya. Oddly enough, Hamas has assumed the role of protector of Sderot against Palestinian missiles and mortars . . . As DEBKAfile has reported, Hamas hopes to make good use of the respite in hostilities to recuperate, rearm and regroup for the next round. To win popular standing as rulers of the Gaza Strip, the Islamist group must demonstrate how it forced Israel to lift the blockade and reopen the border crossings, which Israel shut for two days when the missiles and mortars started flying last week.  MORE

Israel resumes Gaza blockade after truce violation

GAZA CITY -- Israel again sealed off the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Tuesday in retaliation for a rocket attack the previous day in breach of a truce in and around the impoverished Palestinian enclave. Military authorities closed the three border crossing points that had been used mainly to deliver humanitarian supplies to Gaza since Israel imposed a blockade following the Islamist Hamas movement's bloody June 2007 takeover . . . On Monday a rocket landed in an open field in southern Israel, causing no damage or casualties, according to Israeli police. No one claimed responsibility for the attack. [The] Egyptian-mediated truce agreement between Israel and Hamas entails a gradual easing of the blockade, but the border crossings have been closed most days since June 19 in response to rocket attacks by Gaza militants. Hamas has insisted it is respecting the truce and trying to prevent other armed groups from firing rockets at southern Israel by vowing to arrest those responsible for the attacks. Palestinians and UN officials have said Israeli soldiers had also violated the truce, firing shots across the border into Gaza several times, wounding at least two people.  MORE

Turks host third round of talks over return of Golan Heights

JERUSALEM -- Israeli and Syrian negotiators were scheduled to meet separately with mediators in Turkey on Tuesday for a third round of indirect talks that could be complicated by MPs efforts to block an eventual return of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Envoys Shalom Turjeman and Yoram Turbowitz traveled to Turkey where Turkish diplomats were to shuttle between the separate rooms used by the two delegations, an Israeli official said. The official, who asked not to be identified, said Israel hopes the two sides will move on to direct negotiations in the coming weeks.  MORE

Gun Bill Provides for Self-Defense (Washington D.C.)

District gun owners would be able to keep weapons in their homes, loaded and without trigger locks, for "immediate self-defense" under legislation being introduced in the D.C. Council today. The bill, sponsored by Phil Mendelson (D-At Large), would also repeal the city's 32-year-old ban on handguns, which was struck down last week by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 5 to 4 ruling. Mendelson released a draft of his legislation yesterday. The bill specifically addresses the majority opinion written by Justice Antonin Scalia that said, "We hold that the District's ban on handgun possession in the home violates the Second Amendment, as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense." Technically, the legislation would still require that firearms be kept unloaded and disabled, but it would provide a broad exception for guns that are present in the home for the purpose of "immediate self-defense." The exception is intended to address the high court's objection to a requirement that all guns be kept unloaded and either disassembled or outfitted with trigger locks.  MORE

U.S. Government Plunging Further Into Debt at $1 Million a Minute

(Natural News) -- The U.S. government's national debt is growing by almost $1 million per minute, or $1.4 billion per day. Merely paying the interest on what this debt has become is anticipated to place an increasing strain on public programs. The debt has grown from $5.7 trillion in January 2001, when President George W. Bush took office, to $9.13 trillion today, and is expected to climb past $10 trillion by the time Bush leaves office at the beginning of 2009. Because the interest on the debt keeps compounding, the percentage of the national budget that interest payments take keeps climbing. In 2006, the government spent $430 billion to pay interest on its debt. ''We pay in interest four times more than we spend on education and four times what it will cost to cover 10 million children with health insurance for five years,'' said Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. ''That's fiscal irresponsibility.'' Paying down the interest on the national debt is close to becoming the third largest area of government spending, following current military spending in second place and guaranteed health and retirement benefits in first.  MORE

CHOIR LEADER IN BELARUS GETS RECORD FINE FOR 'ILLEGAL WORSHIP'

A court in Belarus has handed down a fine of 700,000 Belarusian rubles ($329) to Vladimir Burshtyn, a Baptist who organized choir singing and led discussions on religious topics outside a public market. The fine is equivalent of more than two months' average wages in Belarus and is the highest yet imposed on Baptists for unregistered religious activity. After a plainclothes policeman told a group of Baptists from outside the area to stop, Burshtyn replied that they were not disturbing the public order but "preaching the gospel as God instructed." Olga Karchevskaya, a vice chair of the Ushachi district executive committee, insisted that she had nothing against preaching the Bible, "We're all believers nowadays [and] if they had shown us registration documents - proving they have the legal rights to hold such a mass meeting - there would have been no problem." Olga Plisko, a member of the Baptist Council of Churches congregation in Ushachi, said the Baptists would appeal the fine. Fines for "unregistered religious activity" have steadily increased since 2004. [no further content]  LINK

Court affirms law calling unborn 'living human beings'
Ruling lifts Planned Parenthood injunction against state's abortion statute

A federal court ruled against Planned Parenthood and rejected an injunction against a state law requiring doctors to tell women seeking abortions that they may face serious medical conditions and will "terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being."
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit issued a 7-4 ruling Friday to lift an injunction against the South Dakota informed consent abortion law. Attorneys representing the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) filed a friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of the Family Research Council in defense of the law.
"A woman's life is worth more than Planned Parenthood's bottom line," said ADF Senior Counsel Jordan Lorence in a statement. "Anyone truly concerned about the interests of women supports making sure they have access to all the information necessary to make a fully informed decision. Planned Parenthood, on the other hand, has argued adamantly to restrict the information women have about the lives of their pre-born babies. We're pleased the court's decision today will make sure women have access to the information they need and deserve."
The court said U.S. Supreme Court rulings allow a state to "use its regulatory authority to require a physician to provide truthful, non-misleading information relevant to a patient's decision to have an abortion, even if that information might also encourage the patient to choose childbirth over abortion."
The South Dakota act defines a human being as "an individual living member of the species Homo sapiens, including the unborn human being during the entire embryonic and fetal ages from fertilization to full gestation." . . . .
Planned Parenthood moved for the preliminary injunction against the law, arguing it would "violate physicians' free speech rights by compelling them to deliver the State's ideological message."

Commentary: Congress to Bush and Cheney: Do What You Want in Iran (David Bromwich)

Excerpt:
Seymour Hersh's 'Preparing the Battlefield', in the July 7 New Yorker, will be discussed in the coming weeks by everyone interested in our foreign policy and the future of the American constitution. The complete failure of congressional oversight, to which the article points, is a larger subject that will be with us until the election and beyond. For if the vice president and his neoconservative advisers have their way - and they remain, in spite of setbacks, the most active, energetic, and ambitious faction within the Bush administration - the U.S. will be at war with Iran or on the way to war by January 2009. And if that is so, it will matter less than we think who is elected in November. The momentum will be there; the country will be committed ...

Opinion: GOLD MAY RISE TO $5000 ON INFLATION SCHRODER SAYS (Bei Hu)

Gold prices may rise to $5,000 an ounce as investors seek to protect themselves against accelerating inflation, said Schroder Investment Management Ltd., which oversees $277 billion of assets globally.
"You could easily see for the next several years that prices rise not to $1,000 an ounce, but prices rise to $5,000 an ounce or beyond as inflation psychology becomes more and more embedded and people become desperate to have a source of value," said Christopher Wyke, London-based emerging market debt and commodities product manager at Schroder, which oversees about $10 billion of commodity assets.
Investors are turning to gold for protection as two-thirds of the world's population cope with inflation rates that are climbing to more than 10 percent, Wyke said. Cash and inflation-linked bonds are poor substitutes as low interest rates, coupled with surging inflation, erode the real value of assets, he said . . . .
Demand for gold will also rise as central banks become net buyers for the first time in 20 years, driven by developing countries, he added. Last year, world production of gold sank to the lowest since 1937 as reserves are depleted and few new sources of gold have been found.

Commentary: Missionaries Into Darkest Alcoholics Anonymous (His Missionaries In Deepest, Darkest A.A.)

Mama and Papa,

We are in America at last. The Lord has sent us into the strangest belief system. The men and women here seem impervious to the Gospel, but the Lord has given us great love for them.

This religion teaches that virtually anything can be defined as a god. During their meetings these people gather and pray in unity, but the "god" each individual prays to can be as varied and unique as particles of sand in our African desert. It is unsettling watching them join in the Lord’s Prayer, because most do not know Jesus, and therefore cannot know the Father.

This religion was founded here in America in the 1930s. It is a very American system of belief and worship. Very democratic, one might say. In this belief system, it is not important what one worships, only that one must worship something . . . .

They have turned to this belief system because it promises freedom from the bondage of sin they were (or are) trapped in. Mama and Papa, they come to this religion to free themselves from alcohol!

It is hard to understand. Somehow they have learned to come here rather than submitting to Jesus and seeking help within Bible believing churches. What about prayer meetings? What about Bible study? What about falling on one's face before a holy, all powerful, compassionate Christ?

These Christians believe only through attending this all gods religion can they be free. But it is a strange sort of "free," because they have to attend these meetings for life. In fairness, they have been encouraged to participate by their own pastors, family members, and by other Christians who already attend. For seventy years Christians have been part of this movement.

In their churches on Sunday they call God by that Name above all names: Jesus Christ the Savior. But here, in their all gods sect, they call Jesus by the term all members use for their various gods. So Jesus becomes a "higher power." Thus has the Savior been placed in the pantheon, the temple of the gods . . . .

It is obviously an anti Biblical belief system, yet Christian after Christian has testified how wonderful this spiritual organization is . . . .

Mama and Papa, the all gods meeting was held right in his church after service. His pastor has allowed this! Since when does a pastor open the House of God to a non Christian religion? Yet here in America, it seems a common practice. In America it is very important to be "nice." The Bible does tell us to be kind and loving - but also holy. Holiness, it seems, has been lost here.

In Deuteronomy 16:21 our Lord commands: "You shall not plant for yourself an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of the Lord your God, which you shall make up yourself. You shall not set up for yourself a sacred pillar which the Lord your God hates."

The Lord does not want false gods worshiped alongside Him. But because the reality of a Holy God seems obscure to these Americans, they think nothing of planting an all gods belief system right in the Sanctuary. Pray for Fear of the Lord among these people . . . . [emphasis added]

The Beast That Was James has been working on understanding the Beast system for many years, and in this work, all of the patterns he has previously discovered have been integrated. The Beast That Was incorporates the three steps of the Dialectic seen in Thesis versus Antithesis Equals Synthesis. It also covers the 6-7-8 cycle of the Beast passages in Revelation 17 as well as the prophetic parallels of the physical kingdoms of the world as seen in Daniel. Details Here! The Divine Name Deception This material intensely covers the false teachers who say we must use the name Yahweh to please God. False Prophets are directly refuted and their heretical Bibles are exposed as James reveals the aberrant manuscripts they're using. Details Here! AMERICAN MAGOG Popularized through false prophets like John Hagee and Hal Lindsey, the "Russia as GoG" scenario was designed to obscure the truth of America as the primary power in the military confrontation described by Ezekiel. Details Here! Saturn and the Starseed Conspiracy In this amazing program, James Lloyd shows how the fall of Lucifer is echoed in every religious tradition from Osiris to Apollo. Each ancient religious beliefs point to Saturn as the most important stellar body in planetary prophecy. James shows how the top secret program of NASA and The European Space Agency is also involved in the cult of Saturn. Details Here! Deceit and the Dialectic The Dialectic is a form of Dialog, and Dean Gotcher shows how this corruptive technique has been used to remove the absolute authority of God. The process of the Dialectic has been applied to Government, Education, Economics, and especially to Religious thought. Details Here! Apocalyptic Linguistics The Language of Prophetic Metaphor This work details the subtle use of symbol and imagery in the Scriptures that communicates prophetic patterns applicable to the end times. James Lloyd provides his own unique perspective on how prophecy can be literal and figurative at the same time. Details Here! The Spirit of Ezra In the finale of his trilogy, James Lloyd shows how the amazing story found in Ezra completes the prophetic prefigurement of all 3 persons of the trinity. Ezra, as the Priest and Scribe, establishes a pattern that is eerily similar to that of the Holy Spirit. Details Here! The Rapture Plot This is the definitive work on the origins of the apostate Rapture doctrine. In this wonderful book, his masterpiece, Dave MacPherson has produced overwhelming evidence concerning the precise development of the doctrine. Details Here!
