President Obama read from his teleprompter more Orwellian Double-speak, stating "our recovery is still in its early stages, and there's going to be ups and downs in the months ahead...... this report is a sign that our economy is getting stronger by the day."

As the Bureau of Labor Statistics report is published for the month of May showing unemployment at 9.7% due to 322,000 workers leaving out of employment positions, President Obama read from his teleprompter more Orwellian Double-speak, stating "our recovery is still in its early stages, and there's going to be ups and downs in the months ahead...... this report is a sign that our economy is getting stronger by the day."
Of course, if you are one of the millions of Americans who believe everything you hear from Obama and his administration via the establishment media, then it would be a reassuring thing to know that your taxes are hard at work restoring our dear nation from the ravages of the recession so nobly fought off by the IBC (International Banksters Cartel) and the WSG (Wall Street Gangsters). Finally all the redistribution of our money from the "Workers Redistribution of wealth Act of 2008-Present(and indefinite future)-HR WRWA 2008-ad infinitum" is finally paying off!
In "Bizzaro World" this may be true, but in present day planet Earth, nothing could be further from the truth! If we look at reality we see that the Census of 2010 is what has created the most jobs for the month of May, and those are government jobs - not paid for by the government - but by tax payers! (And they are being paid handsomely to invade our privacy at that).
The BLS reported 431,000 new jobs for May with most of the growth being in the government sector. This is chiefly from a government-hiring of 411,000 people in May alone to work temporarily for the Census Bureau. Yet there were job losses of State workers to the tune of 15,000, and local government workers lost 7,000.
Now for Obama's good news. His idea of a "sign of recovery" is that the private sector struggled to create even 1000 jobs, with both construction (-35,000) and retail (-6,600) losing workers. Don't you feel much better now?
But wait, it gets better. There was some positive growth in the transportation and warehousing industry (11,100) as well as in Professional and business services which went up by 22,000. The majority of these Professional jobs however, were also primarily temporary jobs (along with the census employees temporarily hired to harrass us for information).
So that basically means that there are approximately 433,000 new workers who will be temporarily employed for a few months, and then will go back to the "Give me more redistribution of wealth funds until I either find another temp job - give up altogether and recieve free money from the always extended unemployment Bureau - or go out and kill someone and redistribute their money to myself " program.
Oh how I feel so safe as I replay Obama's magical words of salvation over and over again! (Meanwhile, back on planet Earth) in the private sector there were only 41,000 jobs created for the month of May due to the fact that 322,000 workers left out of the working class. But in Obama's "Bizarro World" that means there are currently only 26,995,742 Americans unemployed according to the BLS U-6 report. That is counting the total amount of unemployed, plus all marginally attached workers, including all part time workers due to economic reasons! Hoorah for recovery! Change is a comin!
Wow, We are on the road to recovery! We only need to create 26,995,701 more jobs this month and we will be at 0% unemployment! Do you think the Census Bureau needs more help?

Toxic chemicals finding their way into the womb
By Stephanie Smith, CNN Medical Producer
June 3, 2010 8:19 a.m. EDT
Is enough being done to protect us from chemicals that could harm us? Watch "Toxic America," a special two-night investigative report with Sanjay Gupta, M.D., June 2 and 3 at 8 p.m. ET on CNN.
Five years ago Molly and Zachery Gray were in the midst of a dark, lonely spiral. It began with Molly's first miscarriage.
"It was a really emotional process of being so joyful and so happy and ready to make that step into parenthood and that being pulled away from you," said Molly, 32. "[The pregnancy is] happening and all of a sudden it's gone. It's really hard."
After a second miscarriage the Grays were on a desperate hunt for answers. After Molly got pregnant a third time, she heard about a small study to test the blood of pregnant women for chemicals. She signed up.
The Grays wondered, as many do, if chemicals in the environment could be to blame. The science on this matter cannot yet give them an answer.

Ohio Supreme Court Rules Officers Can Just Guess How Fast You’re Going
Eric Moretti
Auto Insane
June 3, 2010
In what has to be one of the biggest violations of common sense and burden of proof in motoring news this year, the Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that officers can “visually estimate” how fast a person is driving… and give them a ticket for it.
Thanks Ohio Supreme Court for giving cops the green light to make up speeding tickets.
Supreme Court Justice Maureen O’Connor said “Rational triers of fact could find a police officer’s testimony regarding his unaided visual estimation of a vehicle’s speed, when supported by evidence that the officer is trained, certified by (the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy) or a similar organization, and experienced in making such estimations, sufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt the defendant’s speed. Independent verification of the vehicle’s speed is not necessary to support a conviction for speeding.”
Hey “Supreme Court Justices” why don’t you guys get this part of what laws are supposed to do through your thick skulls. It’s safe to say that officers might be trained to identify speeds, and they might even be great at it – but it blasts the notion of burden of proof being on the state out of the water. You didn’t just blast it out, you nuked that fish to dry land. There is no factual evidence when officers have the ability to do this, “I think you were going 120 mph.”
Where is the public recourse for police officers who abuse their abilities? We have to take an officer’s (the state) word that we commited a crime? Did you guys even go to law school?

The growing condo shadow inventory – CityCenter in Las Vegas and Lexington Park in Chicago. The shadow inventory that is crushing commercial real estate.
MyBudget360.com
There is a massive amount of vacant inventory sitting across the United States. A good portion of this is viewable to the public but a large amount of this inventory is simply hidden from data scrutiny. Last week we talked about the commercial real estate bust coming to the most expensive region in California of San Francisco. The fundamental problem was the complex had no way of cash flowing on the apartments with current market rates. So it is no surprise that the giant San Francisco project now enters into another precarious situation. Banks do not move quickly on commercial real estate problems because who is going to buy a multi-million or even billion dollar piece of real estate? In this market the pool is tiny and the pool of those willing to lend is smaller.

Will We Learn From The Past?
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!
Mark Matheny
While being stationed in Germany, I had the opportunity to visit the German Concentration Camp Dachau. This was in 1989, and I was only 20 yrs old at the time. Our Unit had a field trip that day to visit the site, and as we walked into the camp, I began to try and imagine the pain and suffering that took place behind the barb wired fences, and within the gas chambers that were built there.
Dachau was the first Nazi Concentration Camp opened in Germany, and the year was 1933. Heinrich Himmler, Chief of Police of Munich, officially described the camp as "the first concentration camp for political prisoners".[1] Of course, at the time of my visit I was young and not very knowledgeable as to the horrific events that took place, not only in this camp, but in others as well.
We were initially greeted as we entered the camp with the words "Arbeit Macht Frei" written upon the gate where thousands before entered. "Work Brings Freedom" was the deceptive promise of the gate, and I wondered how many of its occupants believed what it offered. It must have been horrifying to walk into this camp, not knowing what it truly was offering. Many would find out as time went on.
As we toured through the camp, we came upon a grave site area upon which a plaque was inscribed with the words "Tomb of the many thousands unknown " or something close to those words. It slowly began to sink in to my heart, all the misery and pain, that was inflicted - from human to human - pain and terror that most of us in these times have probably never imagined, let alone seen.
All of the housing units had been torn down due to the disease and unsanitary conditions within the buildings. There was only one still remaining, and that particular one was a rebuilt replica. I walked through that dingy place and could almost hear the crying and dispair that dwelt there more than 40 yrs before. It was hard to hold back tears, and by the end of the tour I don't think there was a dry eye in the group. It didn't matter whether we were Jewish or not. It was the thought of the brutality that could be inflicted upon one group of people by another that really disturbed me.
When I walked away from that place, I walked away with the feeling that the world is not the world I'd imagined before coming there. Before this experience, I always felt that people were basically good, and that governments and nations were humanitarian. But after learning of the length of time that these camps existed, and how many of the Allied countries, including the great United States, knew of their existance as the war progressed, the more I began to see that there certainly was evil in the world, and that governments were in most cases responsible for most of it.
With the turmoil developing in all countries around the globe, I wonder how long it will take for the conditions to be ripe once again for these atrocities to be resurrected? Here in the U.S. we seem to be on the road to a possible form of National Socialism that Hitler dreamed of as he went forth conquering. Our president has promised to turn us from the devastating effects of a Republican induced economic crisis, (these were his words in a recent speech) and to bring national healthcare to all in the U.S., whether a citizen or not. This healthcare bill however, seems to me, to be the launching pad for another "T-4" type of program that ultimately caused the death of thousands of innocents in Nazi Germany.
I know that the comparison might seem a bit outlandish, but I'm sure those living in Nazi Germany also initially felt as if there was nothing wrong with the reforms Adolf Hitler was instituting in the Fatherland in order to bring about a New World Order[6] for the Aryan people. Could our physicians be turned into the monsters that commited such atrocities in Nazi Germany?
Our unemployment rate is slowly increasing, as well as the fact that more and more Americans are becoming economically dependant upon the government to sustain them. We have currently 40.2 million Americans on Food stamps. There is talk of war starting in Iraq and ultimately spreading globally sometime possibly before 2012, according to Lindsey Williams, and global economic collapse according to Trends Forcaster Gerald Celente, Bob Chapman, Peter shiff, Ron Paul, and other economists who are not bought and paid for through the CFR.
And of course, let's not forget that currently accross America, Internment Camps are being built. Will these be for political prisoners when the final stages are implemented in bringing about the long awaited dream of a New World Order?
The bible says " There is nothing new under the sun". I only hope in this case we who understand the coming events will stand up without fear to warn others of this very real possibility. Winston Churchhill once said “Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.” We have the history behind us, and we see the trends that are developing toward a similar scenario if we fail to learn and avert it.

History may never know how many people were interned there or died there, due to periods of disruption. One source gives a general estimate of over 200,000 prisoners from more than 30 countries for the Third Reich's years, of whom two-thirds were political prisoners and nearly one-third were Jews. 25,613 prisoners are believed to have died in the camp and almost another 10,000 in its subcamps,[6] primarily from disease, malnutrition and suicide. In early 1945, there was a typhus epidemic in the camp due to influx from other camps causing overcrowding, followed by an evacuation, in which large numbers of the weaker prisoners died. Toward the end of the war death marches to and from the camp caused the expiration of large but unknown numbers of prisoners. Even after liberation, prisoners weakened beyond recovery continued to expire. [2]
All of the housing units had been torn down due to the disease and unsanitary conditions within the buildings. There was only one still remaining, and that particular one was a rebuilt replica. I walked through that dingy place and could almost hear the crying and dispair that dwelt there more than 40 yrs before.

It was the thought of the brutality that could be inflicted upon one group of people by another that really disturbed me.
Over its twelve years as a concentration camp, the Dachau administration recorded the intake of 206,206 prisoners and 31,951 deaths. Crematoria were constructed to dispose of the deceased. These numbers do not tell the entire story, however. Although there is no evidence of mass murder within the camp itself by other methods than poor sanitation, deprivation of medical care, withholding of nutrients, medical experiments, and beatings and shootings for infractions of the rules or at random, beginning in 1942 more than 3166 prisoners in weakened condition were transported to Hartheim Castle near Linz and there were executed by poison gas for reason of their unfitness. In 1941 and 1942 an unknown number of prisoners of war from the Soviet Union were executed by shooting at the camp's surrounding firing ranges, some for target practice and for sport. [3]
When I walked away from that place, I walked away with the feeling that the world is not the world I'd imagined before coming there. Before this experience, I always felt that people were basically good, and that governments and nations were humanitarian. But after learning of the length of time that these camps existed, and how many of the Allied countries, including the great United States, knew of their existance as the war progressed, the more I began to see that there certainly was evil in the world, and that governments were in most cases responsible for most of it.
This program paved the way for the Holocaust in several important ways. First, it had the effect of legitimizing government-sponsored killing. In keeping with the Nazi emphasis on racial purity, eugenics and national health, euthanasia was presented as a necessary program for eliminating those who carried defective genetic materials which might endanger the quality of the "Aryan" stock.
Second, it was the beginning stage in the corruption of the German medical profession. Robert J. Lifton [Nazi Doctors] asks the question: How did a profession committed to healing, the protection of human life and the relief of human suffering become part of the Nazi killing machine? The apparent answer to this question is that it was a gradual process, a "slippery slope" which began with the Euthanasia Programme of "mercy killing" and resulted in the full scale involvement of some members of the medical profession in the mass extermination of Jews and others in the Nazi death camps.
Third, the T-4 program was crucial in developing the technology which would later be applied to mass murder. [4]
With the turmoil developing in all countries around the globe, I wonder how long it will take for the conditions to be ripe once again for these atrocities to be resurrected? Here in the U.S. we seem to be on the road to a possible form of National Socialism that Hitler dreamed of as he went forth conquering. Our president has promised to turn us from the devastating effects of a Republican induced economic crisis, (these were his words in a recent speech) and to bring national healthcare to all in the U.S., whether a citizen or not. This healthcare bill however, seems to me, to be the launching pad for another "T-4" type of program that ultimately caused the death of thousands of innocents in Nazi Germany.
The T4 Euthanasia Program was a Nazi German effort --framed as a euthanasia program-- to kill incurably ill, physically or mentally disabled, emotionally distraught, and elderly people. Adolf Hitler initiated this program in 1939, and, while it was officially discontinued in 1941, killings continued covertly until the military defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945.
In October 1939, Adolf Hitler empowered his personal physician and the chief of the Chancellery of the Führer to kill people considered unsuited to live. He backdated his order to September 1, 1939, the day World War II began, to give it the appearance of a wartime measure. In this directive, Dr. Karl Brandt and Chancellery chief Philipp Bouhler were "charged with responsibility for expanding the authority of physicians…so that patients considered incurable, according to the best available human judgment of their state of health, can be granted a mercy killing."
Within a few months, the T4 Program --named for the Chancellery offices that directed it from the Berlin address Tiergartenstrasse 4-- involved virtually the entire German psychiatric community. A new bureaucracy, headed by physicians, was established with a mandate to kill anyone deemed to have a "life unworthy of living." Some physicians active in the study of eugenics, who saw Nazism as "applied biology," enthusiastically endorsed this program. However, the criteria for inclusion in this program were not exclusively genetic, nor were they necessarily based on infirmity. An important criterion was economic. Nazi officials assigned people to this program largely based on their economic productivity. The Nazis referred to the program's victims as "burdensome lives" and "useless eaters." [5]
I know that the comparison might seem a bit outlandish, but I'm sure those living in Nazi Germany also initially felt as if there was nothing wrong with the reforms Adolf Hitler was instituting in the Fatherland in order to bring about a New World Order[6] for the Aryan people. Could our physicians be turned into the monsters that commited such atrocities in Nazi Germany?
The transformation of physicians into killers took time and required the appearance of scientific justification. Soon after the Nazis came to power, the Bavarian minister of health proposed that psychopaths, the mentally retarded, and other "inferior" people be isolated and killed. "This policy has already been initiated at our concentration camps," he noted. A year later, authorities instructed mental institutions throughout the Reich to "neglect" their patients by withholding food and medical treatment.
Pseudoscientific rationalizations for the killing of the "unworthy" were bolstered by economic considerations. According to bureaucratic calculations, the state could put funds that went to the care of criminals and the insane to better use&emdash;for example, in loans to newly married couples. Proponents for the program saw incurably sick children as a burden on the healthy body of the Volk, the German people. "Wartime is the best time for the elimination of the incurably ill," Hitler said. [7]
Our unemployment rate is slowly increasing, as well as the fact that more and more Americans are becoming economically dependant upon the government to sustain them. We have currently 40.2 million Americans on Food stamps. There is talk of war starting in Iraq and ultimately spreading globally sometime possibly before 2012, according to Lindsey Williams, and global economic collapse according to Trends Forcaster Gerald Celente, Bob Chapman, Peter shiff, Ron Paul, and other economists who are not bought and paid for through the CFR.

Israel: A Cup of Trembling to all Nations
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!
Mark Matheny
The Israeli Soldiers also were fired upon with small arms fire:
Among some of the contraband found aboard the vessle were bulletproof vests, night vision goggles,and a rifle scope! Does that sound like humanitarian aid? Or could it be that this vessle was bringing items that Hamas and Hezbollah would put to use?
It seems every time Israel chooses to defend herself from terrorism, the world governments around her shake their fists and condemn her. However, anytime the so- called "Palestinians" commit acts of agression - like firing missles into civilian Israeli areas, or sending women and young men to blow themselves up in highly populated Israeli cities- there is only sympathy for the "freedom fighters" who are "being occupied by Israeli forces"!
What saddens me the most is that most of the people claiming to believe the Bible, who call themselves Christian, are starting to go against Israel's right to exist. They are beginning to believe the garbage being put forth about the "Zionist" conspiracy to control the world. While there are bad elements in the government of Israel, there are certainly also bad elements here in the U.S. as well. Does that mean that The United States and the people in it have no right to exist either? For crying out loud, we are occupying just about every country on the planet!
If we have a right to protect our borders from invasion, then so does Israel! Israel has tried several times to co-exist with their surrounding Arab Nations. Have the Palestinians made the same attempt? Hell no! All they want is the complete destruction of Israel!
The Palestine National Charter
(July 17, 1968)
Article 9: Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine. This is the overall strategy, not merely a tactical phase. The Palestinian Arab people assert their absolute determination and firm resolution to continue their armed struggle and to work for an armed popular revolution for the liberation of their country and their return to it.
Article 15: The liberation of Palestine, from an Arab viewpoint, is a national (qawmi) duty and it attempts to repel the Zionist and imperialist aggression against the Arab homeland, and aims at the elimination of Zionism in Palestine
Article 22:Israel is the instrument of the Zionist movement, and the geographical base for world imperialism placed strategically in the midst of the Arab homeland to combat the hopes of the Arab nation for liberation, unity, and progress. Israel is a constant source of threat vis-Ã -vis peace in the Middle East and the whole world. Since liberation of Palestine will destroy the Zionist and imperialist presence and will contribute to the establishment of peace in the Middle East. That is why the Palestinian people look to the progressive and peaceful forces and urge them all, irrespective of their affiliations and beliefs, to offer the Palestinian people all aid and support in their just struggle for the liberation of their homeland.
-Palestinian National Charter
The Arab nations surrounding Israel are only using and exploiting the so-called Palestinian people to do their dirty work! In the Palestinian Charter there is no distinction between "Zionism" and Israel, therefore to wipe out Zionism, you must wipe out Israel! What most people fail to understand, is the difference between "Zionism" ( a pure love for the Kingdom of God with all nations participating) and "Labor Zionism" which came about as a corruption of "Zionism" from it's original meaning and intent. (Listen to this excellent teaching on the difference between the two).
Therefore, I say to every Bible believing person out there, consider some scripture that reveals the end of all who come against Israel:
"In that day I will make Yerusalem a cup of trembling to all the surrounding nations; all who burden themselves with her will be cut in pieces, though all the nations be gathered against her.
Zechariah 12:3
" Do not be silent, O Yahweh! Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still oh God! For behold, Your enemies cause a tumult, and Your haters lift up their head.
Against Your people they devise crafty plans, and CONSPIRE against those whom You mercifully protect, saying: Come, let us destroy them as a nation! Let the name of Israel be remembered no more!
Truly they consult together WITH A SINGLE MIND: they form an ALLIANCE against You: (Notice the next lines carefully) The tents of (1) Edom and the (2) Ishmaelites, (3) Moab and the (4) Hagarites, (5) Gebal, (6) Ammon, (7) Amalek, and (8)Philistia with the inhabitants of (9) Tyre, (10) Assyria also has joined them, to lend their power to the descendents of Lot...( the Arab Nations) Do to them as You did to Midian, like Sisera, and like Yabin at the brook Kishon, Who perished at Endor, and became like refuse on the ground!
Make their Nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, their chiefs like Zebah and Zalmuna, Who said:
'Let us seize for ourselves the Houses of Yahweh as a possession!'
Oh our Mighty One, make them reel like the whirling chaff before the wind!
As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains on fire:
So pursue them with Your tempest, and frighten them with your storm!
Fill their faces with shame, that they might seek Your Name Oh Mighty One!
May they be humiliated and dismayed for ever and ever! May they perish in dishonor!
Let men know that You, Whose Name Alone is YAHWEH, Are Most High over all the earth!
Psalm 83.
Israel is not the culprit in this case. They warned the ships not to come into the area, and when the orders were ignored, Israel attempted to take steps to insure the ships were free of weapons which could be used against Israel later on by Palestinian terrorist groups such as Hamas, and Hezbollah. If we are supposedly fighting a war on terror here in the West, then Israel is all the more justified in keeping her borders and country safe from terrorists as well.

Mark Matheny
As Israel attempts to defend herself from Hamas and Hezbollah by making sure any ships going into the area of Gaza are not carrying ammunition or weapons, the world refuses to condemn the acts of aggression made by those on the ship which was boarded by Israeli commandos on Monday in an attempt to see if contriband weapons or ammo were aboard:
The Israeli Soldiers also were fired upon with small arms fire:
Now it is being reported by Israel intelligence that at least 50 members aboard the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara may have connections to terrorist organizations! Many blogs and News Stations are now taking the side of those aboard the ship, who refused to cooperate with Israeli authorities, rather choosing to defy any warnings as well as attacking Israeli soldiers attempting to conduct an inspection of the ship.
It seems every time Israel chooses to defend herself from terrorism, the world governments around her shake their fists and condemn her. However, anytime the so- called "Palestinians" commit acts of agression - like firing missles into civilian Israeli areas, or sending women and young men to blow themselves up in highly populated Israeli cities- there is only sympathy for the "freedom fighters" who are "being occupied by Israeli forces"!
If we have a right to protect our borders from invasion, then so does Israel! Israel has tried several times to co-exist with their surrounding Arab Nations. Have the Palestinians made the same attempt? Hell no! All they want is the complete destruction of Israel!
The Palestine National Charter
(July 17, 1968)
Article 9: Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine. This is the overall strategy, not merely a tactical phase. The Palestinian Arab people assert their absolute determination and firm resolution to continue their armed struggle and to work for an armed popular revolution for the liberation of their country and their return to it.
Article 15: The liberation of Palestine, from an Arab viewpoint, is a national (qawmi) duty and it attempts to repel the Zionist and imperialist aggression against the Arab homeland, and aims at the elimination of Zionism in Palestine
Article 22:Israel is the instrument of the Zionist movement, and the geographical base for world imperialism placed strategically in the midst of the Arab homeland to combat the hopes of the Arab nation for liberation, unity, and progress. Israel is a constant source of threat vis-Ã -vis peace in the Middle East and the whole world. Since liberation of Palestine will destroy the Zionist and imperialist presence and will contribute to the establishment of peace in the Middle East. That is why the Palestinian people look to the progressive and peaceful forces and urge them all, irrespective of their affiliations and beliefs, to offer the Palestinian people all aid and support in their just struggle for the liberation of their homeland.
-Palestinian National Charter
The Arab nations surrounding Israel are only using and exploiting the so-called Palestinian people to do their dirty work! In the Palestinian Charter there is no distinction between "Zionism" and Israel, therefore to wipe out Zionism, you must wipe out Israel! What most people fail to understand, is the difference between "Zionism" ( a pure love for the Kingdom of God with all nations participating) and "Labor Zionism" which came about as a corruption of "Zionism" from it's original meaning and intent. (Listen to this excellent teaching on the difference between the two).
Therefore, I say to every Bible believing person out there, consider some scripture that reveals the end of all who come against Israel:
"In that day I will make Yerusalem a cup of trembling to all the surrounding nations; all who burden themselves with her will be cut in pieces, though all the nations be gathered against her.
Zechariah 12:3
" Do not be silent, O Yahweh! Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still oh God! For behold, Your enemies cause a tumult, and Your haters lift up their head.
Against Your people they devise crafty plans, and CONSPIRE against those whom You mercifully protect, saying: Come, let us destroy them as a nation! Let the name of Israel be remembered no more!
Truly they consult together WITH A SINGLE MIND: they form an ALLIANCE against You: (Notice the next lines carefully) The tents of (1) Edom and the (2) Ishmaelites, (3) Moab and the (4) Hagarites, (5) Gebal, (6) Ammon, (7) Amalek, and (8)Philistia with the inhabitants of (9) Tyre, (10) Assyria also has joined them, to lend their power to the descendents of Lot...( the Arab Nations) Do to them as You did to Midian, like Sisera, and like Yabin at the brook Kishon, Who perished at Endor, and became like refuse on the ground!
Make their Nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, their chiefs like Zebah and Zalmuna, Who said:
'Let us seize for ourselves the Houses of Yahweh as a possession!'
Oh our Mighty One, make them reel like the whirling chaff before the wind!
As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains on fire:
So pursue them with Your tempest, and frighten them with your storm!
Fill their faces with shame, that they might seek Your Name Oh Mighty One!
May they be humiliated and dismayed for ever and ever! May they perish in dishonor!
Let men know that You, Whose Name Alone is YAHWEH, Are Most High over all the earth!
Psalm 83.
Israel is not the culprit in this case. They warned the ships not to come into the area, and when the orders were ignored, Israel attempted to take steps to insure the ships were free of weapons which could be used against Israel later on by Palestinian terrorist groups such as Hamas, and Hezbollah. If we are supposedly fighting a war on terror here in the West, then Israel is all the more justified in keeping her borders and country safe from terrorists as well.

Israel: Global Jihad Linked to Flotilla
June 2, 2010 - 3:35 AM
by: Dana Lewis
FOX News.com
Israeli defense officials now say dozens of passengers who were aboard the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara, the scene of a bloody showdown with Israeli commandos Monday, are suspected of having connections to terrorist organizations. The Israeli Army says it's identified 50 passengers on the ship with terrorist links.
It's known the flotilla of 6 ships was in part organized by the IHH group in Turkey, which reportedly has links to Al Qaeda. And three members of Yemen's Parliament, from the Islah Party, were also among the more than 600 activists detained by Israel after ships refused to stop for Israeli patrol boats and were boarded by Israeli Navy SEALs who eventually opened fire, killing 9 people. The Islah party is also said to have shadowy links to Al Qaeda. Both groups certainly support the Hamas organization in Gaza.
Israel believes the larger danger is that Turkey, a NATO ally, is becoming a foe of the U.S. and Israel. Israel's intelligence Chief, Meir Dagan, told top government ministers here that Turkish President Recip Tayyip Erdogan has "a dream of returning Turkey's dominance through going down the Islamic hall." He cites Turkey's warmer relations with the Palestinians and Hamas, and improving relations with Syria, Iran and others. Dagan described a new anti-Israel coalition. Turkey facilitated the flotilla and the Marmara is Turkish-flagged.
When Israeli commandos lowered themselves onto the deck of the Marmara they met a violent mob armed with bats, steel bars, knives -- and even guns ripped from Israeli troops who were beaten to the point they feared for their lives. Four of the Israelis were set upon, stabbed and shot, and are still in the hospital. Why then did Israel then send its Naval commandos down to the Marmara, armed mainly with paintball guns, into what was clearly much more than a mission of crowd control? The answer is Israeli commanders now admit it was a case of "bad equipment, bad tactics, and bad intelligence."
Had the team boarding the ship not been lowered one by one to be quickly overwhelmed by violent activists, had they been trained in crowd control, the outcome may have been much different, spared the bloody ending that now has the international community in uproar.
Even close allies are under pressure. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been wobbling between supporting Israel's right to defend its borders against Hamas smuggling and the need to show sympathy for 1.5 million Palestinians under a 3-year blockade struggling to get everything from medical supplies to food. Clinton won't condemn the blockade, even though Israel itself is increasingly questioning keeping it in place, considering that Hamas manages to smuggle arms from underground tunnels in Egypt regardless.
The defense official's claim a portion of the activists aboard the 6 ships had such serious links to extremist groups raises more questions about who in Israel ultimately approved the bungled plan to board the ships. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's inner cabinet is said to be fuming about not being consulted on the actual details of the raid and is demanding answers now. Israel's political leaders and top generals are trying to avoid taking responsibility for the "fiasco at sea," as one newspaper headline screamed here this week.
A top general told Israel's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee this week that Israeli commandos also used some "gray" tactics at sea on the other 5 ships, an indication they may have somehow disabled engines on the ships. But they decided not to do the same to the Marmara, the large cruise ship where most of the activists were, fearing they would create another kind of humanitarian problem by stranding hundred of activists at sea without food and water and creating a different kind of spectacle.
There are now two more ships on course to attempt to run the Israeli blockade on Gaza, arriving sometime later this week. This is a war for world opinion and Israel knows it. But an army source told me "we will also do everything necessary to stop these ships too." Israel still believes the blockade is necessary at any cost. But the price Israel is paying is still being tallied internationally in terms of weakened support in Europe and even in America.

Special Alert: Flotilla Battle Unleashes Anti-Israel Wave
Honestreporting.com
Will the media report accurately and fairly as anti-Israel activists violently resist an IDF naval boarding with tragic results?
In the early hours of Monday 31 May, Israeli naval commandos boarded a flotilla of vessels heading for Gaza. What happened next has created a major media storm as, according to latest reports, nine anti-Israel activists died as a result of Israeli soldiers defending themselves.
Israel's critics have been quick to condemn the incident, using it to inflame anti-Israel sentiment. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has already termed what is undoubtedly a serious incident as a "massacre". Will this be the latest in a long list of incidents that have been distorted and misrepresented to cause Israel the maximum amount of damage to its image?
Connected to Terror: Who is Behind the Flotilla?
The organizations and passengers behind the Gaza flotilla have been variously described as "peace activists" and "humanitarian organizations". This could not be further from the truth. The primary objective of this flotilla was not to deliver aid packages to Gaza but to spread anti-Israel propaganda in cooperation with Gaza's Hamas rulers.
Playing a central role in the flotilla is the Turkish IHH organization, which besides its legitimate philanthropic activities is also, according to the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, a supporter of radical Islamic networks, including Hamas, and at least in the past, even global jihad elements.
See here and here for detailed information on the IHH.
Amongst the other organizations involved in the flotilla is the International Solidarity Movement. The ISM has a shameful record of placing foreign nationals in danger through encouraging 'direct action', which resulted in the death of American citizen Rachel Corrie. In 2003, ISM's extreme ideology was underscored when terrorists, originating from the UK, used ISM as a cover to attack Mike's Place bar in Tel Aviv, murdering three people. More recently, ISM has been a leading force in the violent protests against the security barrier at Ni'lin, while an ISM activist has been jailed in the US, charged with "giving about $20,000 to a group he knew supported Hamas."
An Al-Jazeera report from May 28, translated below by PMW, shows activists on board before departing for Gaza, chanting Intifada songs aimed at Jews and praising martyrdom. Chants include "Intifada, intifada, intifada! Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews! The army of Mohammed will return!" relating to a seventh century massacre of Jews in Khaybar by early Muslims.

Bloody Israeli raid on flotilla sparks crisis
JERUSALEM – Israeli commandos rappelled down to an aid flotilla sailing to thwart a Gaza blockade on Monday, clashing with pro-Palestinian activists on the lead ship in a botched raid that left at least nine passengers dead.Bloodied passengers sprawled on the deck and troops dived into the sea to save themselves during several hours of hand-to-hand fighting that injured dozens of activists and six soldiers. Hundreds of activists were towed from the international waters to Israeli detention centers and hospitals.
International condemnation was swift and harsh as Israel scrambled to explain how what was meant to be a simple takeover of a civilian vessel went so badly awry.

Building What? How SCADs Can Be Hidden in Plain Sight: The 9/11 "Official Story" and the Collapse of WTC Building Seven
by Prof David Ray Griffin
Global Research, May 29, 2010
At 5:21 PM on 9/11, Building 7 of the World Trade Center collapsed, even though it had not been hit by a plane – a fact that is important because of the widespread acceptance of the idea, in spite of its scientific absurdity, that the Twin Towers collapsed because of the combined effect of the impact of the airliners plus the ensuing jet-fuel-fed fires. The collapse of World Trade Center 7 (WTC 7) thereby challenges the official account of the destruction of the World Trade Center, according to which it was accomplished by al-Qaeda hijackers, even if one accepts the government’s scientifically impossible account of the Twin Towers. This fact was recently emphasized in the title of a review article based on my 2009 book, The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7,[1] by National Medal of Science-winner Lynn Margulis: “Two Hit, Three Down – The Biggest Lie.”[2]

WW II Battleship sailor tells Obama to shape up or ship out !
Obamacrimes.com
May 18, 2010
This venerable and much honored WW II vet is well known in Hawaii for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body, he has never spoken out before about a government official, until now. He dictated this letter to a friend, signed it and mailed it to the president.
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don’t believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos’n Mate. Now I live in a “rest home” located on the western end of Pearl Harbor , allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.
So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can’t figure out what country you are the president of.
You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
” We’re no longer a Christian nation”
” America is arrogant” – (Your wife even
announced to the world,” America is mean-
spirited. ” Please tell her to try preaching
that nonsense to 23 generations of our
war dead buried all over the globe who
died for no other reason than to free a
whole lot of strangers from tyranny and
hopelessness.)
I’d say shame on the both of you, but I don’t think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.
After 9/11 you said,” America hasn’t lived up to her ideals.”
Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn’t mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.
I don’t think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.
Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don’t, I’ll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue . You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don’t want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts , who was putting up a fight? You don’t mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don’t want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you’re the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you’re not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you’re thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You’re not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That’s not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.
And I sure as hell don’t want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle…
Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes

Czech Voters Support Deficit-Cutting Over Welfare Spending in Elections
Bloomberg.com
By Peter Laca and Krystof Chamonikolas - May 30, 2010
The Czech Civic Democratic Party and others that pledged to cut spending won the most votes in parliamentary elections as Czechs chose budget restraint amid the European debt crisis.
The results are a blow to the Social Democratic Party, which campaigned to increase welfare spending. The party led pre-election opinion polls and were the single biggest vote getters at 22.1 percent, according to unofficial results from the Czech Statistical Office in Prague.
The Civic Democrats were second with 20.2 percent, followed by TOP09, with 16.7 percent, and Veci Verejne at 10.9 percent. All three campaigned for spending cuts, indicating they may be able to form a cabinet committed to reducing a deficit that swelled to 5.9 percent of gross domestic product last year, almost twice the European Union limit.
“It’s almost certain that there will be a center-right coalition, which would mean that for the first time since 1996 there will be a government with a strong majority,” said Jiri Pehe, a political analyst and director of New York University in Prague. “It will also be a government that will have a quite coherent right-wing program, a government that wants to make budget savings.”

The Civic Democrats were second with 20.2 percent, followed by TOP09, with 16.7 percent, and Veci Verejne at 10.9 percent. All three campaigned for spending cuts, indicating they may be able to form a cabinet committed to reducing a deficit that swelled to 5.9 percent of gross domestic product last year, almost twice the European Union limit.
“It’s almost certain that there will be a center-right coalition, which would mean that for the first time since 1996 there will be a government with a strong majority,” said Jiri Pehe, a political analyst and director of New York University in Prague. “It will also be a government that will have a quite coherent right-wing program, a government that wants to make budget savings.”

U.S. stocks slid, capping the worst May for the Dow Jones Industrial Average since 1940, while the euro slumped and Treasuries rose as a downgrade of Spain’s debt rating and escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula triggered a flight from riskier assets.
The Dow tumbled 122.36 points, or 1.2 percent, to 10,136.63 at 4 p.m. in New York and lost 7.9 percent this month. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index sank 1.2 percent to 1,089.41, led by financial shares on the Spanish downgrade and energy companies after U.S. President Barack Obama extended a moratorium on new deep-water drilling. Oil erased gains after rallying as much as 1.6 percent to more than $75 a barrel. Ten-year Treasury yields decreased 7 basis points to 3.3 percent. The euro slipped 0.7 percent to $1.2273.
Equities and commodities extended losses after Fitch Ratings stripped Spain of the AAA rating it’s held since 2003, saying the nation’s economic growth will slow as it attempts to cut its debts. Earlier losses followed disappointing U.S. economic data and a North Korean general’s warning of “all-out war” if any accidental clashes with South Korea break out.
