TWENTY EIGHT YEARS AGO TODAYFrom the June 1st Entry:Dr. Paul Williams: Obama Bombs American History 101
The official position of America is to divide Jerusalem and exalt homosexuality world-wide.
This is what the Bible identifies as an Ordinance of the Amorites which triggers God's judgment on a nation. June starts off with the US government exalting homosexuality and Obama addressing Islam from Egypt which may be the platform for his attack on Israel.
Let's see how this month ends.
America is now challenging God at every turn.
Sorry, Barack Hussein, but there were no Muslims among the passengers on the Mayflower or the settlers at Jamestown. Muslims were conspicuously absent from the ranks of George Washington’s Army of the Revolution and played no role in the creation of the American republic - - save for the fact that the new country’s first declaration of war was against the forces of Islam in the form of the Barbary pirates.
Dr. Paul Williams:President Ronald Reagan, September 1, 1982:And Now... A Word From Dr. Morey:
“In the pre-1967 borders, Israel was barely 10-miles wide…the bulk of Israel’s population within artillery range of hostile armies.
I am not about to ask Israel to live that way again.“
Hi, this is Dr. Bob Morey!
Do you want the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God? Or do you want politically correct, weak-kneed, water down "evanjellyfish" nonsense?
If you want the truth you've come to the right place. I am committed, God willing, to share with you God's truth concerning contemporary events. This sometimes lands me in a lot of trouble.
But "trouble" was the middle name of the prophets the apostles, and our Lord Himself! Welcome on board, hang on for the ride of your life, let the reformation begin!

U.S. envoy George Mitchell may visit Syria next week as part of Middle East trip, a stop that would suggest a further improvement in long-strained U.S.-Syrian ties, the U.S. State Department said on Friday.Relations between the two countries have been rocky for years in part because of U.S. accusations that Syria permits insurgents to cross its territory into Iraq, supports violent Palestinian groups and interferes in neighboring Lebanon.UN: New Uranium Traces Found in Syria
Mitchell, the U.S. Middle East envoy, on Sunday heads to Oslo, where he was expected to attend a meeting of Palestinian aid donors, and then to see Israeli, Palestinian, Jordanian and Egyptian officials in the region, the State Department said. Asked if Mitchell would visit Damascus, spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters "that is a possibility but the arrangements for that are still being worked."

They all want a husband, and the Hamas loyalists running the association are intent on finding a man for each.Despite its fearsome reputation elsewhere, Hamas is known here for its cradle-to-grave welfare programs for the poor. It is a cornerstone of its political support in Gaza, where poverty is deepening as Israel and Egypt maintain an almost two-year blockade of the Hamas-run territory. Now, the group is branching out into matters of the heart.
"This is our vision of humanitarian work," said Wael Zard, director of the Tayseer association. "This makes people close to Hamas and makes Hamas close to the people."

The unfolding Obama dramaThe Obama administration also avoids any mention of “terrorism” and “vulnerability” in any discussion. A terrorist act will now be called a “manmade disaster” and the “Global War on Terror” will now be called an “Oversees Contingency Operation” by the Obama administration. Instead, they have no problem labeling Conservatives who oppose abortion, favor strict immigration enforcement, support the Second Amendment, protest big government or represents veterans that believe in any of the above as potential “domestic terrorists” that our government should watch.Just Another Blackberry Bush
President Obama sounded like he was channeling President George W. Bush during his Cairo speech yesterday. Much of the substance of Mr. Obama's address, titled "A New Beginning," sounded like the same old song. One could easily remove the biographical references, redact a few of the sentences that are clearly critical of specific Bush administration policies, and pass it off as old Republican talking points.Obama administration embraces Bush position on warrantless wiretapping
The Obama administration formally adopted the Bush administration's position that the courts cannot judge the legality of the National Security Agency's (NSA's) warrantless wiretapping program, filing a motion to dismiss Jewel v. NSA.Pastor proposes SBC resolution celebrating Obama's electionIn Jewel v. NSA, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is challenging the agency's dragnet surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans. The Obama Justice Department claims in its motion that litigation over the wiretapping program would require the government to disclose privileged "state secrets." These are essentially the same arguments made by the Bush administration three years ago in Hepting v. AT&T, EFF's lawsuit against one of the telecom giants complicit in the NSA spying.
"President Obama promised the American people a new era of transparency, accountability, and respect for civil liberties," said EFF Senior Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. "But with the Obama Justice Department continuing the Bush administration's cover-up of the National Security Agency's dragnet surveillance of millions of Americans, and insisting that the much-publicized warrantless wiretapping program is still a 'secret' that cannot be reviewed by the courts, it feels like deja vu all over again."

According to a well-informed source, Carlos Leon "Corey" Bledsoe, who changed his name to Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad after he converted to Islam, is from Memphis, Tennessee. He was a student at Tennessee State University, where he majored in business. After becoming a Muslim in 2004 at the age of 19, he quit college and embarked upon a path that ultimately led him to Yemen, where another American convert to Islam, John Walker Lindh, learned Arabic and Islam before moving on to Afghanistan, where he fought alongside the Taliban and Al-Qaeda against American troops before his capture in 2002.Al Qaeda eyes bio attack from MexicoMuhammad went to Yemen hoping to study with a jihadist imam, Yahya Hajoori. It is not clear at this point whether he actually studied directly with Hajoori, or with one of his students. Interestingly enough, he apparently traveled to Yemen on a Somali passport, and was jailed for a time in Yemen for doing so. In light of the recent involvement of Somali immigrants to the United States in the jihad in Somalia, it is significant that Muhammad would have this passport. Apparently this and more about Muhammad did not escape the notice of American law enforcement officials: when he returned to the U.S. from Yemen, the Joint Terrorism Task Force began to investigate him. Unfortunately, he appears to have been able to stay at least one step ahead of investigators.

Just after President Obama's Cairo speech ended, I clicked on the White House Web site. The home page, and especially its compelling large image, appeared to visually suggest the America that Obama has been describing recently -- a country that is not a Christian nation, nor a Jewish nation, not even a pluralistic nation, but "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world."
The large close-up photograph that dominated the home page was of a covered woman, Afeefa Syeed, Senior Advisor for Culture and Development with the Middle East and Asia Bureaus at USAID (United States Agency for International Development). Syeed is one of the three "Muslim Americans serving in the U.S. government" that was featured in a White House-produced video prominently linked from the White House home page, and later hosted at a URL at the White House video area at YouTube linked from a White House blog post by Jesse Lee.
Christian Beheads Muslim' Drama Backed By BBC TrustThe BBC Trust has rejected complaints against a TV drama that showed a fanatical British Christian beheading a moderate Muslim. The offending episode of "Bonekickers" was aired in July last year and sparked fresh claims of anti-Christian bias at the BBC.Hitler as management guru in India:
The BBC Trust, a group of "independent trustees acting in the public interest", rejected suggestions that the drama associated fanatical Christianity with evangelicalism and gave an offensive portrayal of evangelical Christians.
Daily Telegraph writer, Damian Thompson, said: "We are deep into the realms of BBC bias and ignorance here. "Only a BBC drama series would, to quote the complainant, 'transfer the practice of terrorist beheadings from Islamist radicals to a fantasised group of fundamentalist Christians'."
When the show was broadcast a TV reviewer for the Observer said: "it wasn't the absurdity of the storyline that buried Bonekickers so much as the BBC's paint-by-numbers version of political correctness."
An article in London's Daily Telegraph last month reported that sales of Mein Kampf 'are soaring in India where business students regard the genocidal dictator (Hitler) as a management guru' and consider the book to be a 'management guide.'India is now flooded with $1 billion per week
"Anyone seeking to teach tomorrow's business leaders of India should reject globalisation of hate and racism, not facilitating it," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, a leading Jewish NGO at the United Nations.
"Using Mein Kampf as a self-improvement and strategy guide for India's young is an outrage that dishonours six million Jews murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Adolf Hitler's murderous Third Reich. Honouring and promoting Hitler's white racist ideology mocks the values of the world's largest democracy, and flies in the face of India's noble history of protecting minority peoples, Jews among them" he added.
After six months of financial drought, global money is flooding into India at the rate of $1 billion a week. If sustained, this will be the mother of all financial stimuli, eclipsing the finance minister's budgetary endeavours.
The dollar flood is not due to the Congress election victory. In April, foreign institution investors (FIIs) poured $1.3 billion into Indian equities. They poured another $1.87 billion in the first half of May - before the election result. For May as a whole, the inflow was $4.14 billion, or a billion a week.
This is part of a global phenomenon. Since April, $20 billion has flooded into all emerging markets. The Sensex is up 50% in 2009. But Russia is also up 63%, China 57%, Brazil 60%, and Argentina 45%. So, the dollar flood is not India-specific: it is part of a global rush into all emerging markets, especially the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China).

The senator's new rules, which limit bonuses to one-third of an individual's base salary, trumped those in the $700 billion financial-rescue legislation passed in October. Administration attorneys have now been left with the task of reconciling Dodd's rules with earlier guidelines and explaining to firms how to apply the requirements. The pay limits would not apply to firms that return their bailout funds.

Regulators found that nine of the firms had enough reserves: J.P. Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, American Express, BB&T, U.S. Bancorp, State Street, Bank of New York Mellon, Capitol One Financial and MetLife, which was the only firm that had not previously taken federal aid. Many of these firms have since raised money beyond what the Fed required. Analysts said that another bank, Morgan Stanley, was found by regulators to need capital but has since raised more than it needed and may also be allowed to repay its money soon.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has charged former Countrywide Financial Corp. Chief Executive Angelo Mozilo and two others with securities fraud.
Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC) bought Countrywide in July for about $2.5 billion. The deal made the Charlotte, N.C.-based bank the country’s largest mortgage lender. SEC regulators accuse Mozilo and two other former executives of misleading investors about the credit risks the company took to increase its market share.
The SEC alleges Mozilo, former Chief Operating Officer David Sambol and former Chief Financial Officer Eric Sieracki falsely assured investors that Countrywide was primarily a prime-quality mortgage lender that had avoided underwriting risky loans. The charges stem actions in from 2005 to 2007.

World Grain Forum opens in St. PetersburgThese bondholders are unlikely to disappear like an inconvenient journalist...Vladimir Putin is used to taking flak from rivals in the former Soviet Union. Now he has to deal with opposition from a more unlikely location: Greenwich, Conn.
Two months ago the Wall Street Journal reported that a subsidiary of Russia's OAO United Aircraft had defaulted on its first payment toward $250 million of bonds. Despite personal appeals from the bondholders to some of Moscow's most powerful bureaucrats, no resolution was reached.
Before pursuing a protracted--and potentially futile - legal battle, noteholders appealed to Russia's most influential man, the former president and current prime minister.
"A problem of such magnitude needs resolution and will not simply go away," reads the letter on behalf of the bondholders from Randall Pike, president of Greenwich, Conn., investment bank BCP Securities. "Since Russia has made great strides under your leadership, we appeal directly to you."
Nine Police Killed in Peru Oil ProtestAt least nine Peruvian police officers were killed Saturday as soldiers stormed an oil pumping station in the Amazon where indigenous Peruvian protesters were holding police hostage, the country's defense minister said.Peru clashes leave 31 deadThe deaths brought to 20 the number of police killed--some with spears--since security forces moved early Friday to break up a roadblock by indigenous Peruvians who oppose government moves to exploit oil and gas and other resources on their lands.
Protest leaders said at least 25 indigenous people, including three children, died in the clashes. Authorities confirmed only five civilian deaths, but said 109 people were injured.
The political violence is the Andean country's worst since the Shining Path insurgency was quelled more than a decade ago, and it bodes ill for President Alan Garcia's ambitious plans to boost Peru's oil and gas output.

“Music is enough for a lifetime,
Bush never moved the embassy either and he had EIGHT YEARS: June 2008:U.S. suspends move of embassy to Jerusalem - AGAINLate on Friday The Washington Times' Christian Bourge obtained a copy of Presidential Determination 2009-19, latest in a series of pro forma memos to the Secretary of State entitled "Suspension of Limitations Under the Jerusalem Embassy Act." This determination is a legally required waiver under said act to continue to delay the May 31, 1999 deadline for moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Nearly identical memos like this have been issued every six months for the last decade. Standard procedure, no big deal, right? Well in the Bush years the memo contained the sentence,
The Obama team has edited that passage out. This explains the Friday evening release. Congress should revisit the Jerusalem Embassy Act and remove the loophole that has allowed this charade to continue for ten years. Meanwhile the president should explain exactly what his policy is on this issue, and why he is not committed to beginning the process of moving the embassy."My Administration remains committed to beginning the process of moving our embassy to Jerusalem."
June 2008

Jerusalem.
Israel annexed the city in 1967 and proclaimed it to be Israel’s eternal, undivided capital.
Palestinians seek East Jerusalem as their capital.
Successive U.S. Administrations have maintained that the parties must determine the fate of Jerusalem in negotiations. H.Con.Res. 60, June 10, 1997, and S.Con.Res. 21, May20, 1997, called on the Administration to affirm that Jerusalem must remain the undivided capital of Israel.
Congress has repeatedly prohibited official U.S. government business with the PA in Jerusalem and the use of appropriated funds to create U.S. government offices in Israel to conduct business with the PA and allows Israel to be recorded as the place of birth of U.S. citizens born in Jerusalem.
These provisions are again in H.R. 2764, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, passed in both houses on December 19, 2007.
The State Department does not recognize Jerusalem, Israel as a place of birth for passports
because the U.S. government does not recognize all of Jerusalem as part of Israel.
A related issue is the relocation of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Proponents argue that Israel is the only country where a U.S. embassy is not in the capital, that Israel’s claim to West Jerusalem, proposed site of an embassy, is unquestioned, and that Palestinians must be disabused of their hope for a capital in Jerusalem.
Opponents say a move would undermine the peace process and U.S. credibility in the Islamic world and with Palestinians, and would prejudge the final status of the city.
P.L. 104-45, November 8, 1995, provided for the embassy’s
relocation by May 31, 1999, but granted the President authority, in national security interest, to suspend limitations on State Department expenditures that would be imposed if the embassy did not open. Presidents Clinton and Bush each used the authority several times.
The State Department Authorization Actf or FY2002-FY2003,
P.L. 107-228, September 30, 2002, urged the President to begin relocating the U.S. Embassy“immediately.
”The President replied that the provision would “if construed
as mandatory ... impermissibly interfere with the president’s constitutional authority to conduct the nation’s foreign affairs.”
The State Department declared, “our view of Jerusalem is unchanged. Jerusalem is a permanent status issue to be negotiated between the parties."

Stephen Emmett, spokesman for the Atlanta FBI office, said the investigation into the shooting turned up evidence to suggest Abdulhakim Muhammad, 23, of Little Rock, had plans for a “Jewish entity” in Atlanta.
The Associated Press reported memos from the investigation showed Little Rock, as well as New York, Philadelphia, Louisville, Ky., and Memphis, were also on his list. Emmett declined to say what specific site in Atlanta might have been in Muhammad’s plans, but “precautions were taken [in Atlanta] because of the serious nature of the Little Rock” shooting. Muhammad, a Muslim convert, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to state charges in Arkansas he killed Pvt. William Long, 23, and wounded Pvt. Quinton I. Ezeagwula, 18. Muhammad is being held without bond.

US Justice Dept to probe Kansas abortion murderThe U.S. Justice Department said on Friday it is launching an investigation into the murder of Kansas abortion provider George Tiller, who had been reviled by anti-abortion groups.Graduating students defy ACLU ~ Seniors stand and recite Lord's Prayer
The Justice Department said it would investigate whether Tiller's murder violated a 1994 U.S. law that establishes penalties for those who block access to abortion services.
Kansas authorities have charged Scott Roeder with murder in the Sunday shooting death of Tiller in his church.
Tiller was one of only a few physicians in the United States willing to perform late-term abortions, those performed after the 20th week of gestation when a fetus potentially could survive outside the womb and legal under certain conditions.
