Russian Ships Carrying Soldiers Said To Be En Route To Sevastopol

Those tracking the developments in the Ukraine, and specifically the Russian response to this weekend's coup, will be interested to note that according to the Russian flot.com website, the largelanding ship Nikolai Filchenkov, previously known for its participation in the Syrian naval arms build up, is expected to arrive in the Russian port of Sevastopol carrying 200 armed soldiers, sent from the nearby Black Sea town of Temryuk. 
From Flot.com
Today at 12:00 from the Russian port of Temryuk should arrive in Sevastopol, the large landing ship "Nikolai Fil'chenkov" with 200 soldiers on board. This was reported today by the chairman of the Ukraine "Freedom" faction Oleg Tyagnibok citing sources in the Crimean.

"I can show you the text message" - said Tyahnibok and read: "Today at 12:00 is expected the arrival from the port of Temryuk in the Russian Federation in the city of Sevastopol large landing ship Nikolai Fil'chenkov from the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. It will bring about 200 armed soldiers from the 328th Marine battalion, who are based in Temryuk and 10 BTR-80."

He also noted that "on February 22-23, ... IL-76 flights airlifted from Kubinka (Moscow region) to Anapa, personnel from the 45th Airborne Special Forces unit and additional divisions were relocated via four Il-76 flights from Pskov to Anapa. And from Sochi to Anapa were transported six Mi-8 helicopsters"- said Tyahnibok.
This appears to not be an isolated move as the naval build up seems to be escalating. In a concurrent release, Izvestia Kiev reported that out of Kubinka, four ships carrying special forces, are being relocated to Anapa. From there, in four hours, they will depart fo Sevastopol at a speed of 10-15 knots, citing "Izvestia in Ukraine" as a source.  According to the source, the redeployment is "qualitative, not quantitative" and that the Ukraine is following these developments.
It remains to be seen if the Ukraine, or its brand new NATO BFFs, will respond in kind.

The Truth About Ukraine

Russia Awakes: Accuses Ukraine's New Government Of "Armed Mutiny", Says It Possess "Real Threat To Our Interests"



The Olympics are now over, which means that Russia can finally start taking steps toward making good on its 
warning from last week, spoken by a senior government official to the FT, that  "If Ukraine breaks apart, it will trigger a war," adding that "they will lose Crimea first [because] we will go in and protect [it], just as we did in Georgia." And while there have been photos (so far unconfirmed) of Russian military vehicles heading into the Ukraine, for the time being Russia has kept a surprisingly low profile. Until now.
  • MEDVEDEV SAYS RUSSIANS IN UKRAINE FACE THREAT IN UKRAINE: RIA
  • MEDVEDEV SAYS RUSSIAN INTERESTS UNDER THREAT IN UKRAINE: RIA
  • MEDVEDEV QUESTIONS LEGITIMACY OF UKRAINE'S INSTITUTIONS: IFX
  • MEDVEDEV HAS NO INFORMATION IF AZAROV IS IN RUSSIA: RIA
Reuters adds:
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on Monday said Russia had grave doubts about the legitimacy of those in power in Ukraine following President Viktor Yanukovich's ouster, saying their recognition by some states was an "aberration".

"We do not understand what is going on there. There is a real threat to our interests and to the lives of our citizens," Medvedev was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying.

"There are big doubts about the legitimacy of a whole series of organs of power that are now functioning there."
Finally, from the AP:
Dmitry Medvedev said Monday, according to Russian news agencies, that the new authorities have come to power as a result of "armed mutiny," so their legitimacy is causing "big doubts."

He said Russia would be ready to resume relations with Ukraine once it sees a "normal, modern government based on laws and constitution of Ukraine."

"If you consider Kalashnikov-toting people in black masks who are roaming Kiev to be the government, then it will be hard for us to work with that government," he said.

Medvedev added that Russia's decision to recall its ambassador in Kiev for consultations meant that "there is a threat for our interests, and for life and health of our people in the embassy."
All this is happening as (insolvent) Europe is scrambling to obtain the tens of billions it needs to make good on a topping overbid for the Ukraine, something which Russia appears to be largely laughing about, and certainly something which Gazprom, which incidentally holds the fate of all of Europe, and not just Ukraine, in its hands. Literally.
As we have said since the Ukraine coup became official: keep an eye on the Russian response. Right now it is all that matters.

Iraq signs deal to buy arms and ammunition from Iran

According to report, deal worth $195 million, would break UN embargo on weapons sales by Tehran.

Iran has signed a deal to sell Iraq arms and ammunition worth $195 million, according to documents seen by Reuters - a move that would break a UN embargo on weapons sales by Tehran.

The agreement was reached at the end of November, the documents showed, just weeks after Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki returned from Washington, where he lobbied the Obama administration for extra weapons to fight al-Qaida-linked militants.

Some in Washington are nervous about providing sensitive US military equipment to a country they worry is becoming too close to Iran. Several Iraqi lawmakers said Maliki had made the deal because he was fed up with delays to US arms deliveries.

A spokesman for the Iraqi prime minister would not confirm or deny the sale, but said such a deal would be understandable given Iraq's current security troubles.

"We are launching a war against terrorism and we want to win this war. Nothing prevents us from buying arms and ammunition from any party and it's only ammunition helping us to fight terrorists," said the spokesman, Ali Mussawi.

The Iranian government denied any knowledge of a deal to sell arms to Iraq. It would be the first official arms deal between Shi'ite Iran and Iraq's Shi'ite-led government and highlight the growing bond between them in the two years since the departure of US troops from Iraq.

One US official, told of Reuters' findings, said such a deal could further complicate Washington's approach to negotiating with Iran on easing international sanctions over its nuclear program, which the West suspects is aimed at producing bombs. Iran says its aims are purely peaceful.

"If true, this would raise serious concerns," the US official said. "Any transfer of arms from Iran to a third country is in direct violation of Iran's obligations under UNSCR 1747."

POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE

The official documents seen by Reuters showed that six of eight contracts were signed with Iran's Defense Industries Organization to supply Iraq with light and medium arms, mortar launchers, ammunition for tanks as well as artillery and mortars.

A final two contracts were agreed to with the state-owned Iran Electronic Industries for night vision goggles, communications equipment and mortar guiding devices.

One of the contracts includes equipment to protect against chemical agents. An Iraqi army major with knowledge of procurement issues said that would include items such as gas masks and gloves, as well as injections. Baghdad has expressed fear the militants will use such agents against its forces.

Officials from the Iraqi and Iranian defense ministries signed the agreements, according to the documents. They did not list a timetable for deliveries and it was not possible to confirm whether they had taken place.

Maliki is engaged in a nearly two-month-old battle in western Iraq against Sunni al-Qaida-inspired militants and rebellious tribesmen. The prime minister has blamed the unrest in Anbar on the conflict spilling over from neighboring Syria.

One Western security official said US government experts believed an Iranian-Iraqi arms deal had been in the works for some time.

The growing friendship between the two countries is discomfiting for the United States, which has accused Iran of having shipped arms to the Syrian government through Iraq.

Iran already supplies Baghdad with electricity and gas and reiterated an offer of military assistance in January.

The weapons purchases amount to a drop in the ocean for Iraq, which receives most of its arms from the United States and has also bought weapons and helicopters from Russia and other countries.

But they are politically significant as Maliki purses a third term in office.

Iraqi politicians consider Iran's blessing as a necessity for seeking power. Maliki won his second term in 2010 only after the Iranians exerted pressure on recalcitrant Shi'ite parties on his behalf.

Many Iraqis accuse Iran of funding Iraqi Shi'ite militias who have seen a resurgence in the last two years as Iraq's security has deteriorated.

Images of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei now decorate posters seen around Baghdad of Iraqi Shiite fighters slain fighting in Syria.

"We have here a political and not a military deal," said Amman-based Iraq analyst Yahya al-Kubaisay from the Iraqi Center for Strategic Studies, a think tank filled with political opponents of the Shiite-led Iraqi government. "On one hand it is aimed at financing Iran, which is desperately in need of dollars, and on the other it is clearly aimed at winning Tehran's support for Maliki's third term."

Chinese aircraft enter Japanese air defense identification zone

A Tu-154 electronic warfare aircraft of the People's Liberation Army Air Force and a Y-12 utility aircraft of China's State Oceanic Administration entered the Japanese air defense identification zone (ADIZ) simultaneously on Feb. 21, according to the state-run China News Service.

The Japanese defense ministry first reported on Friday that a Chinese Tu-154 was detected near the border of its ADIZ while another aircraft, the Y-12, flew into the zone and was spotted 140 kilometers away from the disputed Diaoyutai islands (Senkaku to Japan, Diaoyu to China). The F-15J fighters of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force were scrambled to intercept the intruding aircraft, the ministry said.

Observers say Tu-154 may have been deployed to the Diaoyutai region on a recon mission.

Tensions remain high between the two nations since Japan, which controls the contested islands, nationalized three of the five islands through purchases from private owners in September 2012 — a move condemned by Beijing as an illegal appropriation of Chinese territory. Following the Peace Mission 2013, a joint anti-terrorism military exercise with Russia, China has launched a number of drills to simulate an amphibious assault to take the islands.

Meanwhile, James Fannell, the director of the US Pacific Fleet's Intelligence and Information Operations said that China has the potential to launch a sudden "blitzkrieg" type strike.

China has continued to deploy vessels and aircraft to the Japanese exclusive economic zone and ADIZ to challenge its administration over the area.

The Conditions of Your Re-Education Camp Confinement

fema camp prisoners
This article is the second part in a series which clearly documents the existence of detention camps in which such activities as virtual slave labor, brainwashing (i.e. re-education), torture and even the sanctioned use of deadly force will take place.
In the first part of this series, a previously secret document which was leaked online; entitled FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations (PDF). The document was originally to be kept secret, but everyone in the military command structure, as we know, is not on board with the encroaching tyranny sweeping across this country.

Use of Deadly Force

The use of deadly force will be a commonly applied strategy in the detention camps given the broad range of applications allowed under the operating principles of the Internment/Resettlement Camps.
DEADLY FORCE
H-8. Deadly force is a force that a person knows, or should know, would create a substantial risk of causing death or serious bodily harm…Deadly force, as described in AR 190-14, will only be used for—
1. Self-defense and the defense of others.
To protect military police Soldiers, other guards, or any other persons who reasonably believe themselves or others to be in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm.
2. Incidents involving national security.
To prevent the actual theft or sabotage of assets vital to national security.
3. Incidents not involving national security, but inherently dangerous to others.
To prevent the actual theft or sabotage of resources, such as weapons or ammunition that are inherently dangerous to others.
4. Arrests or apprehensions
To arrest, apprehend, or prevent the escape of a person when there is probable cause to believe that person has committed an offense of the nature specified in the preceding three bullets.
5. Serious offenses against persons
To prevent the commission of a serious offense that involves violence and could cause death or serious bodily harm. 
6. Escapes
When deadly force has been specifically authorized by the head of a DOD components and reasonably appears necessary to prevent escape.

Item number two is disturbing because the term national security is not defined. However, this provision of this document allows for the use of lethal force to be applied in matters of national security. This a blank check for murder. Item number three in the allowances for the use of deadly force allows occupation forces to kill detainees for the theft of resources, not necessarily related to national security. One scenario that this brings to mind consists of a hypothetical scenario where a civilian population is being starved into submission by the so-called authorities and the people resort to the “theft” of resources to maintain life. Under this provision, this is a capital offense.
When Steve Quayle speaks of the infamous “Red List”, this document validates Mr. Quayle’s assertions that many arrested civilians will be summarily executed upon arrest. Item number four authorizes the use of deadly force, upon arrest, for violations of items one through three.
Items five and six allow for the use of lethal force in the usage of self-defense and any attempt to escape.
Sometimes, the damning points of a document such as this aren’t just contained in the printed words. Sometimes, the most frightening aspect of this whole scenario lies in what is NOT being said or written.
I have gone through this document with a fine tooth comb. They describe how the detainee food is to be prepared. How medication will be administered is detailed. The document describes every aspect of daily living that the detainees will endure. Every conceivable aspect of life is accounted for in this document except for one. Nowhere, does this martial law/detention document specify how the camp will deal with the terminally ill, or even the very ill. Nowhere in the document does it discuss the disposition of dead bodies. Are these Internment/Resettlement going to be “Fountains of Youth” or is the document strangely silent on this issue for one reason? I will leave it to the reader to form their own conclusions on this point.

An Interesting Revelation

This martial law/detention document does not just deal with the mass arrest, confinement and the use of deadly force.
Once upon a time, I was researching the topic of potential toll roads in the Phoenix area. Quite accidentally, I discovered a document which detailed the implementation of toll roads in Phoenix. However, the document came from the Pima County government files. Pima County is 120 miles from Phoenix and encompasses Tucson. This is where the Arizona officials chose to hide the document hoping it would escape the light of day and subsequent scrutiny from Phoenix area residents.
The following part of the martial law/detention document has nothing to do with arrest and detention. It does, however, have to do with how the government is hiding information and as to how it plans to deal with legitimate protest in the future. Their intentions are deadly and as such, this is an appropriate disclosure as an addendum to the previous section on the allowable use of deadly force.
I think the public has a right to know how its government plans to handle future protests.
RIOT FORMATIONS
H-42. Quick-reaction force teams should be established with a minimum response time. Because of the physical nature of riot control, individuals in riot control formations should not carry rifles. Nonlethal attachments should follow closely behind the riot control formation. Lethal coverage must be provided for this entire formation. (See FM 3-22.40.)
DESIGNATED MARKSMEN
H-43. During a nonlethal engagement, the use of designated marksmen provides confidence and safety to those facing a riot. If a lethal threat is presented, the designated marksmen in overwatch positions (armed with appropriate sniper weapons mounted with high-powered scopes) can scan a crowd and identify agitators and riot leaders for apprehension and fire lethal rounds if warranted. Additionally, they are ideally suited for flank security and countersniper operations. (See FM 3-22.40.).
(Editor’s Note: The preceding paragraphs are dealing with protests in general in which government occupation forces will employ snipers with the intent of taking out “leaders” and “agitators”. The frightening aspect of these provisions is that this is not about martial law detention camps. This is about protests in general!
The following paragraphs discuss the use of permissible lethal force against less than cooperative inmates in the camps.) 
H-53. Some nonviolent tactics are further described as follows:
Demonstrations
Demonstrations are the actions of groups of people whose behavior, while not violent, conflicts with those in authority. They are characterized by unruliness and vocal expressiveness without violence. Demonstrations may be organized in celebration of national holidays; as protests against food, clothing, living conditions, or treatment; or for other similar factors.
Refusal to work or eat
Individuals may refuse to work or eat (collectively or individually) as a means of harassing the detaining power or in an attempt to gain concessions from the detaining power. Prompt isolation and segregation of such offenders and their ringleaders normally control this type of disorder.
Work slowdown
Individuals may initiate a deliberate work slowdown to delay the completion of work projects, thereby harassing the detaining power. Disorders of this nature can be controlled in the same manner as the refusal to work or eat.
The “H series” of policies in this document specifically address the use of deadly force in the camps. We are witnessing the bootstrapping of what most would consider legitimate political activity into the realm of acceptable use of deadly force and the use of solitary confinement.

Slave Labor

Slave labor will be a component of the Internment/Resettlement camps as witnessed by the following:
J-67. Commanders must organize and manage detainees in such a manner as to permit the proper and ready employment of each detainee. Consider—
Establishing and maintaining a current occupational skill record for each detainee. Include new skills as they are acquired.
Assigning individual detainees to a work detail or job on a regular or permanent basis.
Establishing vocational training projects and encouraging detainees to study and develop needed skills to the maximum extent possible.
I don’t think it could be any more clear. Later in the document, it speaks to paying detainees minimum wage for growing vegetables and the payment would be in French Francs. However, let’s make no mistake about it, this is still forced labor. And besides, where are these detainees going to spend their minimum wage compensation?

The Size and Composition of the Camps

Beginning on page 261, the document describes the intimate layout of the camps. Each camp is 980 yards by 507 yards. The camps will house 4,000 compliant prisoners, 8,000 “resistant” prisoners and 100 prisoner facilities for those considered dangerous.
It should be noted that each facility contains an interrogation area (brainwashing and torture). The use of the word “re-education” is mentioned. And each facility will have a PSYOPS component to the camps.
K2   (PG 281) PSYOP operations are having collateral effects on intended or unintended target audiences).
Testing PSYOP products as directed by the PSYOP task force or PSYOP support element.
Developing and providing PSYOP products in support of PSYOP task force operations, such as recorded detainee surrender appeals.
Collecting and confirming or denying demographic information about PSYOP target audiences.
   Ascertaining targets and objectives of propaganda.
   Determining the effectiveness of enemy internal propaganda, such as propaganda directed at opposing forces.
Planning and conducting PSYOP to achieve other multinational and/or joint PSYOP task force or PSYOP support element objectives, such as reorienting or reeducatingthe I/R facility population or setting the stage for acceptance of future operations.
Assisting in improving relations with the local population (in the vicinity of the I/R facility) to prevent or minimize interference with I/R facility operations.

PSYOPS is always a term synonymous with propaganda, reeducation and murder. This document contains all of these elements. Again, the extrapolation of meaning is left to the reader.

Conclusion

The final part of this series will reveal why police are beginning to collect DNA. The next part will also demonstrate a connection between the dead banksters and these camps.
The Common Sense

Cauldron Part Number 8


When you were a child, did you ever play “king of the hill”? That’s like what is being played out in the Middle East today. But it is not child’s play; it’s a deadly game with worldwide consequences.


War and peace, life and death hang in the balance of this contest for control of the Temple Mount. As we’ve seen, much blood has been shed in modern times over the Temple Mount feud. Things aren’t getting better, but worse, because neither the Islamics nor the Jews will follow what the true God said about the matter. All sides are determined to do what Psalms 2:1–3 says:
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
The United Nations, the European Union, the United States, the Palestinian Authority, Israel, and everybody else are all determined to do what is right in their own eyes. This has always been fallen man’s fatal flaw. From the people before the Flood of Noah’s time, to Nimrod and the tower of Babel, to Israel’s decision not to take the land from the inhabitants at the time God directed it to do so, to Ehud Barak offering the Temple Mount to Arafat for the sake of peace—everybody has wanted to do it his or her own way, not God’s way. The result is that rather than things getting better and better, as the evolutionists tell us, things are getting worse and worse, as the Bible says: “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13). The Temple Mount in Jerusalem will continue to draw violence until Christ returns at the end of Armageddon.

War Workers

Looking at the issues of war and peace surrounding Jerusalem and Palestine in recent years, we notice an absence of all-out war. Some would call this a positive sign of improvement over the war woes of previous decades.
While there has been an absence of all-out war, however, no true observer of the Mideast situation can honestly proclaim that the region has had real peace. The fact is, the attempts to control the violence since the last major conflict—the Persian Gulf War—and the War on Terrorism following the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks of September 11, 2001 have acted like a pressure-cooker lid for the region. The Middle East is indeed a cauldron. Unfortunately, the false peace makers (the international community, including the U.S.) have been able to do nothing to do away with the causes of the trouble building between Israel and its aggressive Arab-Islamic radical neighbors. That’s because the problems are supernatural at their roots; they are satanic.
Threats of all-out war surrounding and involving Israel have been in the headlines for years. Most recently we think of Syria and the possibilities of war being ignited by the battle to oust Bashar Al Assad as the country’s dictator/president. Consider the tremendous dangers building within the Israeli/Iranian confrontation over Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
Added to this are the boiling anxieties and turmoil initiated when the Muslim Brotherhood, under the false promises of the Arab Spring eruptions, ousted Hosni Mubarak from Egyptian leadership. All the while, the many enemies surrounding the Jewish state remain resolute about erasing Israel from the map. As a matter of fact, maps used by many of the Arab nations have no references outlining or even mentioning Israel.
A time will come, the Bible says, when those who work to agitate for war will cause God’s anger to bring judgment: “God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies” (Nahum 1:2). He will take vengeance on those who come against His people, to whom He gave the land of promise—which includes the Temple Mount.

Stormy Islamics

The storm of rage has been building since Israel no longer seems willing to give away land and other concessions with nothing given by Palestinian adversaries in return. There seems little Israel’s Palestinian enemies can now achieve by continuing with a negotiating process for a peace they don’t want anyway.
Up until the year 2000, Arafat and company had reason to come to the peace table and at least pretend an interest in peace. A steady stream of concessions flowed to them with little effort on their part. They finally got an Israeli-free territory, being allowed to have a Palestinian armed police force of more than thirty thousand.
Things changed once this was achieved. Arafat refused Barak’s seemingly insane offer of the Temple Mount and many other concessions. If Arafat had accepted Barak’s offer, many observers believe the PLO chairman would have been assassinated by his own people, as was Anwar Sadat following his peace treaty with Menachem Begin.
Most observers believed, also, that once the PLO and the Islamic radicals got all they could at the peace table, the hardball issues would have to be addressed—issues like border determinations, water rights, bringing Palestinian refugees back to disputed territories, the ultimate status of Samaria and Judea, and, of course, the sovereignty over Jerusalem.
Sovereignty over Jerusalem includes control of the Temple Mount and the authority to make arrangements for access to it. Corridors for pilgrims to the holy sites must be maintained. These corridors must be arranged so as not to cross opposition territory. For Israel’s foes in the region to accept a final settlement would mean the Islamic radicals would have no further claims. This they will never agree to accept.
The so-called Middle East peace process between Israel and the Muslim forces of the nations surrounding the tiny Jewish state has been ongoing for decades. These are Arab nations, and all contain fiery Islamist fanaticism that openly declares that Israel must be destroyed. John Loeffler, an observer/commentator of that peace process, frames, in an all-encompassing thought, the seeming hopelessness of the situation:
Everyone also realized that once the peace process played out, the Arabs would have no further incentive to remain at the negotiating table and behave themselves, leaving a new round of war(s) as the only remaining option. The act of accepting a final agreement would force the Arabs to relinquish any future claims on the Israeli state, its people, and the very existence of Israel itself. It would be final; the events begun in 1947–48 would be over. In the world’s eyes, the Arabs would lose all “legitimacy” for further struggle.[i]

Israeli Retaliations

No matter how vicious the attacks by the terrorists against the people of Israel, when that nation responds with force, the world news organizations and world community declare the response to be overreaction.
There are almost always sympathetic voices for the Palestinian aggressors who throw stones and Molotov cocktails, and even for those who fire with heavy-caliber weapons upon Israeli forces. It is amazing to watch as a bully attacks someone who is trying to live in peace, then hear an entirely different report on what you are witnessing. Instead of reporting that the fighting has been started by the Palestinian troublemakers, the world news reports invariably imply that Israeli forces brutalize their victims with overwhelming military power.
For example, on Sunday, May 30, 2010, a fleet of six flotillas set sail from Cyprus for the Gaza strip, carrying pro-Palestinian activists and humanitarian aid to the area. Included in that fleet was the Mavi Mara, a Turkish cruise liner chartered by IHH, a group that, in addition to performing humanitarian efforts, also supports radical Islamic terrorist networks, including Hamas.[ii] Israel and the Israeli navy gave numerous warnings to the fleet prior to setting sail, as well as during the journey. They also offered an alternative plan for the fleet to dock at Ashod, where cargo could be inspected and then transferred by land. The fleet defied these warnings and instead attempted to break the Israeli naval blockade.
The next day, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) decided to board the flotillas and force them to redirect to Ashod. Five were boarded without incident; however, when IDF soldiers attempted to board the Mavi Mara, they were met with violent attacks by Palestinian activists wielding clubs, knives, and a gun—with all of the activity supported by video evidence. IDF soldiers returned fire, killing nine activists. Seven IDF soldiers were also wounded.[iii]
The incident was characterized in nearly every major news network as a brutal attack on humanitarian aid workers by Israeli forces, provoking international condemnation. In September 2011, the United Nations published a report of its findings about the incident. The report exonerated Israel, but not without characterizing the incident as “excessive and unreasonable.”[iv] Again, nearly every major news headline emphasized the description “excessive and unreasonable” rather than highlighting the exoneration.
Israel is not without fault, of course. The Israeli military has no doubt been brutal at times in use of force. But, only in cases of defensive-oriented, preemptive action has Israel struck at its neighbors first.
Israel might be back in the land of promise in unbelief, but it seems to take the Lord at His word in the matter of self-defense. Considering the history of the nation’s hostile neighbors, heeding God’s advice has been very wise indeed!

New World Order Builders

The prophet Nahum’s words more and more seem written to describe our time:
The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
That they may do evil with both hands earnestly. (Micah 7:2–3a)
It does appear from events in our nation and around the world that there aren’t many good people left. The brutality people inflict upon each other is widespread and extremely troubling. This is one of the excuses those who want to build a new world order use to justify their desire to control all people. The one-world builders say they have answers to all the violence and brutality.
If everyone could become equal in every way, then jealousies, envies, hatreds, and all the other factors that cause trouble would be eliminated. In this way, mankind would again achieve a degree of goodness that has been lost, they apparently believe. Fighting at every level, robberies, murders, and all the rest would be eliminated in their perfect world order. Everyone would have the same status in life, thus everybody would be content.
Of course, the one-world-order builders would have a higher position than the rest of us, as they govern their better world. This means they would not be subject to the same limitations as we worker bees. They would have the Rolls Royces and the private jets, etc.
This proposition is preposterous! God’s Word says: “And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God” (Luke 18:19). Until Christ changes a person from within, that person’s sin nature remains unchanged. People never can be transformed by mankind’s institutions and social architecture. Still, the one-worlders dream and plan and plot, determined to bring us to a time like it was at the tower of Babel (se Genesis 11).
“Global governance” is a term put into our language by the new-world-order crowd meaning that it is not one world government they seek, but authority over all national governments. They want to operate, at least at first, like the U.S. government. A “federal” system of government is what they want at first. The global governance would have top priority over any decision, law, or regulation of any nation. There would be a judicial or legal system that could override any nation’s court.
The one-worlders want a controlling authority over every aspect of life, including economic, judicial, social, technological, ecological, and military matters. No doubt, they want to control religion also. And they especially want to appease the most vicious elements of those who hate Israel. Despite agitations by Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and other terrorist groups stirring the Palestinian people to violence, the UN and the would-be, one-world controllers demand that Israel not retaliate. The—supposedly—most intelligent, best-informed globalist leaders make these demands, yet it is plain to most everyone else that the radical Islamics have no interest in reasoning together. They can be appeased only if Israel is driven into the Mediterranean Sea.
Nonetheless, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount are seen as the trigger to nuclear Armageddon. The fanatics must be appeased at all costs. Unfortunately, President Barack Obama has proved to be caught up in the appeasement as of this writing.

Peace Perpetrators

The globalists want peace at any price—that is, as long as it doesn’t cut into their perks or benefits. The one-world architects are like the people in high authority described in the book of Micah:
The prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge. (Micah 7:3b–4a)
Everyone will have to make sacrifices for the cause of world peace—everyone, that is, except them. Israel is under terrific pressure to yield to the demands of the international community. The internationalists want peace at all costs in the Middle East so that the oil will continue to flow freely to the Western industrialized governments, which fund their big plans.
Undoubtedly, some within the globalist movement want genuine peace—for genuinely compassionate reasons. But the movement itself is geared toward achieving power by stepping on the backs, heads, and bodies of anyone who gets in their way.
The ultimate globalist will be Antichrist. The Bible says “by peace [he will] destroy many” (Daniel 8:25). The world’s last dictator will gather to himself all the power he can in order to enforce global peace. But, it will not be true peace; it will be the ultimate war on individual freedoms—and it will result in the greatest world war in history: Armageddon.

Energy Villains

Technology has forged ahead dramatically in most every field except one. The world still depends upon petroleum to produce the fuel that runs industry and transportation.
Have you wondered why, despite all the progress in other areas, we still have the internal combustion engine that burns fossil fuels at a tremendous rate? Why has a practical solar-battery-powered engine not been produced? Or why don’t we have a safe, efficient, nuclear-powered car that runs every bit as well as the internal combustion motor?
The “green energy,” liberal-minded environmentalists have managed to siphon billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer funding into their useless machinery. The Obama administration has channeled funding into these totally failed efforts, only to turn around and channel more funds into more failed green energy debacles. It’s as if an insanity has set in at the highest governmental levels. These “public servants” spend our hard-earned greenbacks, but produce no-yield, green-energy alternatives.
There is no answer that I or others have been able to determine except this: The powers that be have so much invested in the internal combustion engine that they are not willing to abandon it or even phase it out.
The money powers also have great economic interests tied up in oil around the world. Weaning people from the gas guzzlers would be cutting the money powers’ economic throats.
There are answers beyond that, however—supernatural ones. Satan, the prince of the power of the air, this earthly realm, knew from the beginning that the shortage of fossil fuels would eventually bring the showdown in the Middle East. The serpent still has his cunning ways. He appeals to the minds of men, tempting them with the world’s riches the Lord Jesus Christ refused on the Mount of Temptation.
The top money powers of the world will not cut into their profits and develop new fuels and engines to power the industrialized world. That is, they will not do so until the petroleum reserves are so low that they must do so in order to continue their profitable ways. By the time the reserves are that low, however, it might be too late. Every petroleum interest will be looking for the same, dwindling source. Because of the great reserves from the time after the Fall in the Garden of Eden, the place of that dwindling source will be the Middle East.
God will gather these money powers to Armageddon. It is likely He will use their greed and the oil fields of the Middle East to bring them together for the feast He is going to provide for the scavenging birds and beasts to enjoy. Bringing them to the valley of Megiddo will not be an act of cruelty on God’s part; it will be His righteous judgment on a wicked people like those described in Micah 6:10–12:
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
The globalists will have worked their lies and appeasing ways to the harm of God’s chosen people, Israel. Vengeance is the Lord’s! (See Romans 12:19.)

American Apathy

With the tremendous upheavals taking place around the world, America’s people as a whole seemed not to notice at all—that is, not until September 11, 2001. That was indeed a 911 call to us all. When those gleaming, towering buildings collapsed and the huge Pentagon complex was struck a devastating blow, our attention instantaneously turned to the reality all around us. Suddenly, our luxurious, unmatched way of life was threatened.
Our richly blessed culture exceeds that of any that has ever existed. Do you have trouble believing that? Did Alexander the Great have a TV set? Did Cleopatra have central heat and air? Did Julius Caesar have a microwave oven, a refrigerator, or a laptop? Considering even just the technological blessings of this generation of Americans, ours is the most blessed ever.
So…what’s the point?
The point is that the very blessings we enjoy today make American people the most pampered. History has shown that pampered people are headed down a one-way path to decline and fall. Historian Edward Gibbons in his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire recounts precisely the point that ease of life brings about the death of a culture.
The Romans, from the time of Christ’s birth until the empire ceased to be in the AD 400s, went deeper and deeper into self-serving pleasures. Their leisure time greatly increased, and they filled it with every form of entertainment their wicked minds could imagine. Such has been the fate of every culture that achieved leisurely contentment.
Even the hard-working men and women of America can come home and throw their feet up on their recliners’ footrests and get lost in nightly TV entertainment of every sort. (My apologies to the wonderful mothers of America, whose work never seems to allow such leisure.)
So, again, what’s the point? Such leisure is a mighty tool in Satan’s hand. We are examining here the cauldron of war and peace. Appeasement of the American people comes in the form of tremendous blocks of leisure time. Apathy, or the “who cares?” attitude, is the result of self-absorbed living.
Americans today are appeased, as far as attitudes about issues of war and peace are concerned. We choose leaders who promise to make our lives of leisure better. Voters simply don’t care about the other issues very much. They often choose leaders whose characters and activities are very bad indeed. Character, as we’ve been told time and time again, just doesn’t matter. But, God’s Word says otherwise. Leaders with upside-down thinking can lead a people down the path to decline and fall. Hitler is one such leader who comes to mind.
The point is, then: America’s apathy has led to choosing bad leaders in the past. Other nations at other times have chosen leaders of terribly flawed character. The results have been, in many cases, that those nations turned against God’s chosen people, the Jews, to one degree or the other. No matter how haughty, high-minded, or technologically sophisticated a nation becomes, God says He will bring such a people down.
It is reasonable to wonder: Has the Lord, because of the way Israel is being treated internationally and because of the anti-God attitude prevalent today, begun to deal in judgment with America and the more financially privileged nations of the world?
Financial crisis exploded in 2008 with the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the banking problems that followed. Since that time, America has seen its national debt climb into the trillions of dollars, some believing that we are as of this writing headed toward more than $140 trillion in debt. This means that there is no hope for America to survive as the nation we have known it to be, if the figure is correct. As a matter of fact, the entire world of finance will have to be completely changed at some point to reconstruct any semblance of economic sanity.
Such apathy and disregard for godly direction one day, perhaps soon, will lead to America and the rest of the world turning to the ultimate Jew-hater, Antichrist. He will seek to get rid of everyone who dares to oppose his devilish plans to make all people worship him as God. Antichrist’s regime will be a completely dominating economic order.
