PAUL WILLIAMS: ISLAM - The War that Won't Go Away

The war on terror - - a misnomer from the start - - is being lost. Since 9/11, 13,270 Islamic terror attacks have been launched from China to Seattle, Washington, leaving 80,000 people dead and over 120,000 injured. Yet government officials, including Barack Obama, continue to speak of Islam as the religion of peace, Protestant ministers (including Robert Schuller and Rick Warren) insist that Christians and Muslims worship the same God, and Roman Catholic pontiffs continue to kiss the Qu’ran.

It’s time for all good men and women to take a firm stand against Islam and the forces of evil.

It’s time to take part in the last crusade.

Washington Post: Abbas to wait for US pressure to unseat Netanyahu

Palestinian Authority officials expect U.S. pressure on Israel to restart the Peace Process will slowly force Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from office, the Washington Post reported on Friday.

The article quotes an unnamed Palestinian Authority official as saying that "it will take a couple of years" but in the end, the pressure to comply with U.S. demands as well as Netanyahu's desire not to alienate his right-wing coalition partners will force him to step down as prime minister.

The article quotes Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as saying that "The Americans are the leaders of the world," adding "they can use their weight with anyone around the world. Two years ago they used their weight on us. Now they should tell the Israelis, 'You have to comply with the conditions.'"

Uranium One shares plunge on Kazakhstan allegations

Canadian miner Uranium One Inc. UUU-T has been sideswiped by a high-level political scandal in Kazakhstan, after police arrested the head of the state-run nuclear company and accused him of illegally selling uranium properties to foreigners.

The former Soviet Republic issued a statement yesterday confirming that Kazatomprom president Moukhtar Dzhakishev and several other executives were under investigation for allegedly embezzling stakes in major uranium fields and “handing them” to offshore companies.

Specifically, it's looking at potentially illegal asset sales by Mukhtar Dzhakishev, the former head of state-owned uranium miner Kazatomprom, who later sought favors from the man who sold the assets to, Frank Giustra, and Bill Clinton.

Clarke Camper, a former lobbyist for Freddie Mac and General Electric Co., backed out of a job defending the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as the agency girds for a regulatory overhaul that could shrink its power, people familiar with the matter said. Camper pulled out after telling colleagues at Fairfield, Connecticut-based GE that he expected to lead government relations at the SEC, according to the people and an e-mail he sent last week to co-workers. Camper’s last day at GE’s Washington office was May 20, said the people, who declined to be identified because the SEC didn’t publicly offer him a position.

Tribes press government to clean up nuclear waste

Two American Indian tribes say their pleas to have the federal government remove medical, uranium and other radioactive waste from their land near Tuba City have been ignored, and they want it cleaned up.

AND SO IT BEGINS:

A local pastor and his wife claim they were interrogated by a San Diego County official, who then threatened them with escalating fines if they continued to hold Bible studies in their home, 10News reported.Attorney Dean Broyles of The Western Center For Law & Policy was shocked with what happened to the pastor and his wife.

Broyles said, "The county asked, 'Do you have a regular meeting in your home?' She said, 'Yes.' 'Do you say amen?' 'Yes.' 'Do you pray?' 'Yes.' 'Do you say praise the Lord?' 'Yes.'"

The county employee notified the couple that the small Bible study, with an average of 15 people attending, was in violation of County regulations, according to Broyles.

Broyles said a few days later the couple received a written warning that listed "unlawful use of land" and told them to "stop religious assembly or apply for a major use permit" -- a process that could cost tens of thousands of dollars.

ECHOES OF ANCIENT ISRAEL

Shavu'ot Level: Basic

You shall count for yourselves -- from the day after the Shabbat, from the day when you bring the Omer of the waving -- seven Shabbats, they shall be complete. Until the day after the seventh sabbath you shall count, fifty days... You shall convoke on this very day -- there shall be a holy convocation for yourselves -- you shall do no laborious work; it is an eternal decree in your dwelling places for your generations. -Leviticus 21:15-16, 21

Shavu'ot, the Festival of Weeks, is the second of the three major festivals with both historical and agricultural significance (the other two are Passover and Sukkot). Agriculturally, it commemorates the time when the first fruits were harvested and brought to the Temple, and is known as Hag ha-Bikkurim (the Festival of the First Fruits). Historically, it celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, and is also known as Hag Matan Torateinu (the Festival of the Giving of Our Torah).

The period from Passover to Shavu'ot is a time of great anticipation. We count each of the days from the second day of Passover to the day before Shavu'ot, 49 days or 7 full weeks, hence the name of the festival. See The Counting of the Omer. The counting reminds us of the important connection between Passover and Shavu'ot: Passover freed us physically from bondage, but the giving of the Torah on Shavu'ot redeemed us spiritually from our bondage to idolatry and immorality. Shavu'ot is also known as Pentecost, because it falls on the 50th day; however, Shavu'ot has no particular similarity to the Christian holiday of Pentecost, which occurs 50 days after their Spring holiday.

It is noteworthy that the holiday is called the time of the giving of the Torah, rather than the time of the receiving of the Torah. The sages point out that we are constantly in the process of receiving the Torah, that we receive it every day, but it was first given at this time. Thus it is the giving, not the receiving, that makes this holiday significant.

Shavu'ot is not tied to a particular calendar date, but to a counting from Passover. Because the length of the months used to be variable, determined by observation (see Jewish Calendar), and there are two new moons between Passover and Shavu'ot, Shavu'ot could occur on the 5th or 6th of Sivan. However, now that we have a mathematically determined calendar, and the months between Passover and Shavu'ot do not change length on the mathematical calendar, Shavu'ot is always on the 6th of Sivan (the 6th and 7th outside of Israel. See Extra Day of Holidays.)

Work is not permitted during Shavu'ot.

It is customary to stay up the entire first night of Shavu'ot and study Torah, then pray as early as possible in the morning.

It is customary to eat a dairy meal at least once during Shavu'ot. There are varying opinions as to why this is done. Some say it is a reminder of the promise regarding the land of Israel, a land flowing with "milk and honey." According to another view, it is because our ancestors had just received the Torah (and the dietary laws therein), and did not have both meat and dairy dishes available. See Separation of Meat and Dairy.

The book of Ruth is read at this time. Again, there are varying reasons given for this custom, and none seems to be definitive.

Shavu'ot will occur on the following days of the Gregorian calendar:

Jewish Year 5769: sunset May 28, 2009 - nightfall May 30, 2009

Ruth is the ancestor of King David, and consequently the matriarch of the Messianic line:

Who is this woman, special enough to have an entire book in the Bible named for her, which we read on Shavuot, the epic day on which the Torah was given to the Jewish people? Ruth must have a very important message to convey to us about what it means to be a Jew, to receive the Torah, and to merit royalty.

Every day inflation takes hold stronger in our economy.

Now mortgage rates are climbing:

Mortgage-Bond Yields Jump, Jeopardizing Fed’s Housing Effort

May 27 (Bloomberg) -- Yields on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage bonds rose for a fourth day, after exceeding for the first time yesterday their levels before the Federal Reserve announced it would expand purchases to drive down interest rates on loans.

Yields on Washington-based Fannie Mae’s current-coupon 30- year fixed-rate mortgage bonds climbed to 4.55 percent as of 3:15 p.m. in New York, the highest since Dec. 5 and up from 3.94 percent on May 20, data compiled by Bloomberg show.Rising mortgage-bond yields, driven higher in part by climbing Treasury rates, means the Fed now “faces a challenge to its ability to sustain low mortgage rates,” according to Jeffrey Rosenberg at Bank of America Corp.

The Fed, seeking to use lower home-loan rates to stem the housing slump and bolster consumers, said March 18 it would increase its planned purchases of so-called agency mortgage bonds by $750 billion, to as much as $1.25 trillion, and start buying government notes."

The rising rates are due to all the borrowing that the government is doing. I know some people are operating on the hope that the Fed's have some secret plan for making the inflation go away. Sorry to burst any bubbles out there, but no, they don't.

When you take into account the fact that the Fed's have to finance a massive deficit, and the only way to sell that many treasuries is to have a very high inflation rate, the only thing they can do is stand by and let inflation take off. Heck they are creating the inflation. Get ready for 15% inflation and a rerun of the Carter era stagflation.

Of course, Bush will get blamed for all of this.

Single-Regulator Plan for Banks Now Close

WASHINGTON -- Top Obama administration officials are close to recommending that Congress create a single regulator to oversee the entire banking sector, people familiar with the matter said, a departure from the hodgepodge of federal agencies that failed to contain the financial crisis as it ballooned out of control last year.

The new agency is expected to be a major plank in a proposal that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and White House officials send Capitol Hill in a few weeks with the goal of overhauling supervision of financial markets.

Welcome to The Last Crusade

Welcome to The Last Crusade, a site where you can engage in the life and death struggle against the forces of Islam, apostasy, moral complacency, cultural relativity, and the New World Order. I have decided to devote the remaining years of my career as an journalist and author to the cause of Jesus Christ and an unapologetic interpretation of His gospel. This blog is antithetical to the claims of main-line denominations which maintain that all religions lead to the same destination and that all believers - - Jews, Christians, Hindus, and Muslims - - worship the same God. The creators of this blog do not worship Allah, the moon god, or Hanuman, the monkey god. We worship the Father God of Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus and we maintain that the road to salvation is narrow, arduous, and fraught with peril (including lawsuits). We abhor the teachings of such spineless and heretical pseudo-Christians as Robert Schuller, Rick Warren, and Joel Osteen. We decry all clerics who kiss the Koran; all money-changers in the temple; and all evangelists who have surrendered the cherished claims of Judeo-Christian tradition to the present evil age. We know that the gospel is an offense and a stumbling block. Be warned. This site may cause you to scream, to shout, and to stumble. But may it also bring you to come to terms with the transcendent God of the Old Testament and the salvific teachings of His Only Begotten Son.

Syria links talks with Israel to full return of Golan

OIC's Damascus Declaration

Our Organization was basically established to defend Al-Quds AL-Shareef which is today facing a critical situation that threatens to obliterate its spiritual character and historical diversity. Added to that are the construction of the racist separation wall in the West Bank , the inhuman blockade imposed on Gaza, the intensification of land grabbing and settlement building. All of this required us all not compensate Israel over its crimes but to ensure that any development in relations- if any exist at all-to the concrete expression of Israel's commitment to just and comprehensive peace, which would guarantee the restoration of legitimate national rights and withdrawal from the occupied lands in Palestine , Golan, and southern Lebanon.

Isaiah's Damascus Declaration

Hashemite Fiefdom "warns" Israel:

The government on Saturday warned against thed angers posed by excavation works Israel carried out beneath and around Al Aqsa Mosque, and by house demolitions in Jerusalem, stressing that such Israeli measures will have a negative impact on any future peaceful settlement.

In a speech yesterday at a conference of foreign ministers of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in Damascus, Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Judeh reviewed the role of the Hashemites in protecting the holy sites in Jerusalem.

GDF Suez, Total In UAE Nuclear Bid
Dig the language in this thing:

Utility Electricite de France SA (EDF.FR) will support a consortium of French companies seeking to develop new nuclear power capacity in the United Arab Emirates but doesn't plan to invest in the state, a spokeswoman for the company said Tuesday.

The administration of French President Nicolas Sarkozy had said EDF will take part in the consortium, the Agence France Presse news agency had reported."EDF will bring its support and its expertise to the French consortium ... to strengthen its chances of success," the spokeswoman said.

In January 2008, utility GDF Suez SA (GSZ.FR) agreed with nuclear group Areva SA (CEI.FR) and oil major Total SA (TOT) to form a consortium to bid to develop nuclear capacity in the UAE. The UAE isn't part of EDF's list of target countries for investing in new nuclear capacity, the spokeswoman said.

EDF doesn't plan to invest in the project. But its support could come in the form of "technical assistance" to the consortium, she added.

Bad Vlad the Journalist Man

Russian PM Vladimir Putin has tried his hand at writing. For the first time in his career, the politician wrote a column for Russia’s media.

Badass Vlad in TIME magazine ~
Putin to the West:"HANDS OFF THE UKRAINE":

Vladimir Putin, Russia's Prime Minister and former President, is not renowned for his love of literature. But on Sunday he gave Russian journalists an unexpected reading tip: the diaries of Anton Denikin, a commander in the White Army that fought the Bolsheviks after the Revolution in 1917. (See TIME's photos of last year's war in Georgia)

"He has a discussion there about Big Russia and Little Russia — Ukraine," Russian newswires quoted Putin as saying after laying a wreath in Moscow at the grave of Denikin, who is now portrayed as a Russian patriot. "He says that no one should be allowed to interfere in relations between us; they have always been the business of Russia itself." (See TIME's person of the year: Vladimir Putin)

33 arrested in connection with Georgian mutiny

Georgian police have arrested nearly three dozen people in connection with a recent mutiny led by tank battalion officers, a top lawmaker said Saturday.

Gigi Targamadze, a pro-government lawmaker who heads the parliament’s defense committee, told Rustavi-2 TV that 20 of the 33 people arrested are military personnel, the rest civilians.

His comments came two days after police shot and killed a former military officer and wounded two others suspected of plotting the May 5 mutiny, which embarrassed President Mikhail Saakashvili’s government and fueled opposition demands for him to resign.

North Korea Launches More Missiles Following Nuclear Test

Now here's a really stupid headline:
Lost RAF files held embarrassing data
EMBARASSING? Lost?
It's dangerous, it's indicitive of weakness, you got a huge problem...
it's not fucking embarrassing!
Furthermore, who is to say it is "lost" and not stolen by the enemy?
But they have all been "given advice"..... so go back to sleep now.

Data files lost by the British military contain personal details of Royal Air Force personnel who were being vetted for security clearances, documents show.

An internal ministry memo obtained by the BBC warns that details of 500 RAF members' criminal convictions, investigations, debts, medical conditions, drug abuse, extramarital affairs and other potentially embarrassing information were contained on data files lost last year at RAF Innsworth in Gloucestershire.

The information on the lost files "provides excellent material for foreign intelligence services and blackmailers," said the memo, which reportedly was written by an unnamed RAF wing commander. A defense ministry spokesman told the BBC said all those affected by the lost data have been told of the situation and have been given advice.

Obama Set to Create A Cybersecurity Czar With Broad Mandate
Well there you have it.
One of these day you will simply never hear from this MFing broad man date again!
Watch out for the ubiquitous, dreaded & most exigently waived RAYTHEON to appear prominently in this somewhere along the line....

President Obama is expected to announce late this week that he will create a "cyber czar," a senior White House official who will have broad authority to develop strategy to protect the nation's government-run and private computer networks, according to people who have been briefed on the plan.

White House announces new Web initiatives
Liar liar pants on fire, ya hangin' from a telephone wire!

Obama signed an executive order the day after his Jan. 20 inauguration that gave officials in the executive branch 120 days to develop technological means to give the public more access to the inner workings of government.

This story interests me because of this:

The suspect was utilizing his cell phone to communicate this information. Detective Joe Zblewski initiated a GPS track of the suspects cell phone by initiating an AT&T Exigent Circumstances Form (which is faxed to AT&T), which is a formal request to AT&T to track the location of the cell phone being used by our suspect. This process uses triangulation of cell towers signals, and can determine the location of cell calls being made from a specific cell phone. We received communication from AT&T, through this process, that the calls being made from our suspect were originating from within 2700 block of E. Carpenter Ave.

OK... so, within minutes law enforcement has obtained an unusual and exigent circumstances waiver to locate you, however this power was not granted to them by a judge or a court ~
but by a CORPORATION... via fax!

An AT&T Exigent Circumstances Form.

Think about that shit for a bit.

FUSION Intelligence centers' growth concerns civil libertarians

Authorities arrested Michael Bauman in March, seizing computers and guns at his Rock Rapids home. They alleged he had threatened to blow up a television relay tower, burn down businesses and kill police officers.

A week later, Iowa authorities issued public statements to dispel a hoax spread by text and e-mail. It included a warning about a planned gang initiation at an unspecified Wal-Mart store in which three women or girls would be shot.

Both cases were handled with help from the Iowa Intelligence Fusion Center, a Des Moines hub for the sharing of information among local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. About 70 fusion centers have been established nationwide with federal assistance since 2006, including ones in every state and in every major city, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Plouffe Daddy Says: 6/6 is when it all begins!

Remember this date: Saturday, June 6th, 2009. We will look back on that day as the moment when the fight for real health care reform began in your neighborhood -- perhaps even in your own living room.

On June 6th, in thousands of homes across the country, we'll gather to launch our grassroots campaign for health care. We'll watch a special message from the President. We'll build the teams and draw up the plans for winning health care reform the same way we won the election: Building support one block, one neighbor, one conversation at a time. And we'll put those plans into action.

These kickoffs are so crucial that President Obama will join confirmed hosts and attendees on a live conference call.

Sign up today to host or attend a Health Care Organizing Kickoff.

Ancient First Temple artifacts uncovered in Jerusalem

Archaeologists from Israel’s Antiquities Authority (IAA) have revealed two important artifacts recently discovered in Jerusalem, both dating from the First Temple Period (8-7 BCE).

The first, a bone seal engraved with the name ‘Shaul’ was found in an excavation being conducted under the auspices of the IAA, in cooperation with the Nature and Parks Authority in the Walls Around Jerusalem National Park in the City of David.
The name of the seal’s owner was completely preserved and it is written in the shortened form of the name, Shaul, which is known from both the Bible (Genesis 36:37; 1 Samuel 9:2; 1 Chronicles 4:24 and 6:9) and from other Hebrew seals.

Another Hebrew seal and three Hebrew bullae (pieces of clay stamped with seal impressions) were previously discovered nearby. The second artifact, an ancient jar handle bearing the Hebrew name ‘Menachem’ was uncovered in the neighbourhood of Ras el’Amud during an excavation before construction of a girls’ school by the Jerusalem municipality.
