A blog dedicated to investigating events as they occur in Judea and Samaria, in Israel and in the world, and as they relate to global powers and/or to the Israeli government, public figures, etc. It is dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the headlines; and in so doing, it strives to do its part in saving Judea and Samaria, and by extension, Israel and the Jewish People, from utter destruction at the hands of its many external and internal enemies.
PS: Notice how soon after the Vatican Synod, in which Benedikt declared the Jewish People's claims to the Land of Israel null and void, this declaration was made. WHO do you think is behind it all, I ask you???
UN Org.: Rachel's Tomb is a Mosque
Cheshvan 21, 5771, 29 October 10 02:06
by Maayana Miskin
(Israelnationalnews.com) The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) voted recently to officially declare Rachel's Tomb to be a mosque. UNESCO director Irena Bokova had previously stated “concern” at Israel's decision to treat the tomb as a heritage site.
The vote called for Rachel's Tomb and the Tomb of the Patriarchs – the burial site of the other Biblical Patriarchs and Matriarchs – to be removed from Israel's National Heritage list.
The Palestinian Authority has claimed that Rachel's Tomb is holy to Muslims as the site of a mosque called the Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque. The PA demands control over both the tomb and the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hevron, as well as the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
UNESCO appeared to support the PA demand for the Temple Mount as well, asking that Muslim officials be allowed to examine the Mughrabi Gate near the Western Wall (Kotel). Muslim leaders have accused Israel of attempting to damage the Al-Aksa Mosque on the Temple Mount under the guise of repairs to the Mugrabi Gate. Israeli officials have warned that if the gate is not repaired, it could collapse, putting worshipers at the Western Wall at risk.
Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovich, Rabbi of the Western Wall, termed the decision “outrageous.”
“They have never said in the past that this was a Muslim holy site. The [UN] organization responsible for heritage has turned heritage into politics.” Israel should think carefully about whether or not to cooperate with UNESCO in the future, he said.
Israel's Foreign Ministry denounced the UNESCO ruling.
Tens of thousands of Jews recently visited Rachel's Tomb to mark the biblical matriarch's Yartzheit (anniversary of death). The tomb is located within Bethlehem city limits, but remained under Israeli control when the rest of Bethlehem was transferred to Palestinian Authority control.
Journalist Nadav Shragai, writing for Yisrael Hayom, noted that Muslims living in the land of Israel have historically referred to Rachel's Tomb as “Kubat Rahel,” the Arabic term for “Rachel's Tomb.” Under Ottoman rule, Rachel's Tomb was a Jewish site.
Only in 1996 did the PA begin to call the site the Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque, he said.

One day after the Federal Reserve announced a $600-$900 billion second round of Quantitative Easing (QE2), gold and silver hit fresh all-time highs. Yesterday, the yellow metal surged more than $40 an ounce to well over $1,390 before falling back a few dollars in after hours trading. Silver, also, had a monster move! It was up more than a $1.50 per ounce. It, too, retracted slightly in after hours trading. That surge in precious metals is a debilitating rebuke of the Federal Reserve’s wild and unprecedented money printing policies. How bad is it, really, for the Fed to feel this is a good idea? Gold is acting like a predator that smells the blood of wounded prey. In this case, the prey is a much weakened Fed that seems desperate to keep its banking cartel afloat from the undertow of a sea of red ink.
It is reported that Sprott Asset Management bought 6.5 million ounces of physical silver at nearly $26 an ounce. Respected financial blog Jesse’s Café American wrote yesterday about the deal, “Some might consider the price that Sprott paid to be a ‘leading indicator’ of where silver will be going. I think when the paper Ponzi scheme actually collapses silver will be much higher than that. After all, “he who sells what isn’t his’n must buy it back or go to prison.” Unless, that is, they are running the game. Then they just pay a fine and admit no guilt.” (Click here to read the entire post from JCA.) This kind of silver buying is a big plus for the physical market and a big negative for the often questionable paper market.
Big-time buyers are driving over-sized price moves in precious metals. Hedge Funds, Sovereign Wealth Funds, big banks (like Goldman and JP Morgan) and Central Banks are now moving the markets in gold and silver bullion. Movements like the one yesterday are not mom and pop retail buyers looking to purchase a dozen Silver Eagles or a Gold Eagle coins to put into a safety deposit box.
Record high gold prices caused by the Fed printing press are not lost on Republican Congressman Ron Paul. He is the Federal Reserve’s most adamant critic and is now on the winning side of mid-term elections. A bill that would have forced a Fed audit (HR1207) failed in a House of Representatives controlled by Democrats earlier this year. Now, with Republicans taking control, Congressman Paul will gain some real power to, once again, probe into secret Fed policy. Yesterday, Reuters reported, “Paul is currently the top Republican on the House of Representatives subcommittee that oversees domestic monetary policy, and is likely to head the panel when Republicans take control of the chamber in January. . . ‘It’s an outrage, what is happening, and the Congress more or less has not said much about it . . . Eventually we’re going to have monetary reform. I do not believe the dollar can be the reserve standard of the world,’ said Paul, who has called for returning the United States to a currency backed by gold or silver.” (Click here for the complete Reuter’s story.)
It is not just the announcement of the second round of QE that has precious metals gushing new highs. It is, also, the open-ended nature of the Fed’s policy that reads, “. . . will adjust the program as needed to best foster maximum employment and price stability.” This could mean $600 billion or $6 trillion before this round of money printing has run its course. Gold (and silver) clearly smell the blood of a wounded Federal Reserve Note that is being drained of its buying power. I’ll close today’s post with a quote from a recent Jim Willie article from Goldenjackass.com. While vexing about a second round of QE, Willie wrote, “The centerpiece question, when the US bond fraud is coupled with European sovereign debt distress, comes down to WHAT IS MONEY?The answer is Gold,Silver and not much of anything else.

The following are some snippets from the most recent issue of the International Forecaster. For the full 26 page issue, please see subscription information below. US MARKETS
The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace, and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow and the money power of the country will endeavor and prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until the wealth is aggregated into a few hands and the republic is destroyed. -- Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864
Foreclosuregate will soon again dominate the financial news along with the three class action lawsuits – one is a RICO suit, entered against JPMorgan Chase and HSBC for rigging the silver markets.
Irrespective of what Wall Street tells you, but in Foreclosuregate we are taking about 2 trillion in securitizations, plus $500 billion in second mortgages. These bonds were all rated AAA by S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, but were in fact BBB. We have written over and over again questioning why the buyers were stupid enough to be buyers, or why no civil suits or criminal actions were filed for three years. Our synopsis tells us the buyers, particularly the Europeans, who purchased 60% of this toxic paper, were either collectively grossly incompetent, or they had the bonds secretly guaranteed by the Fed. Hundreds of lawyers cannot be that stupid, so we believe the latter. The losses for lenders will be somewhere north of $500 billion. This kind of payout will take down Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citi Group and Deutsche Bank, and a number of others will suffer large losses. We have yet to see large class action suits and they could compound the losses. As you have already seen Fannie, Freddie, PIMCO and the NY Fed have already banded together to protect their positions. What we are seeing is intercine fighting to see who will lose the most money among the elitists. This internal warfare is good for us because it puts them off balance and other issues dear to their hearts, such as world government are pushed to the side at least temporarily. The only way these banks can stay in business is to be nationalized, so that you the taxpayer will have the privilege of paying for their losses. Anyone who owns stock in these banks and HSBC should have their heads’ examined. When it comes to legal action the court system is a sham. Countrywide’s Mazillo was fined and BofA paid the fine. Mozilo should be doing 25 years for criminal fraud. Stand by we are only at the beginning of this fraud extravaganza.
The tentacles and the depth of this scandal has only been recognized by elitists behind the scenes in NYC and Washington.
Foreclosuregate could put a real damper on house sales and that will be compounded by a Congress and Senate that will be frozen in its tracks. All Wall Street and banking, which control the Fed, ever think of us shirt-term expediency. QE2, which, as we predicted, will over the next two years, cost $5 trillion. This will continually depreciate the value of the dollar. That will bring about a more intensive currency war and that will lead to tariffs, which is exactly what the US needs to economically survive. Speculative capital flows are meeting barriers already from Brazil and other will follow. Other nations are seeing inflation pressures intensify and they don’t want more dollar inflation. Brazil is being followed by China, Australia and India. The Fed is unprepared to deal with this as it tries to hold the US economy together, as it slowly spirals into a repeat of the last 20 years in Japan. You might call it a lost decade. Japan had 5% unemployment; the US has 22-3/4%. The Japanese government borrowed from Japanese savers. The US has to borrow from international markets or monetize. That means monetization by the Fed and higher unemployment and inflation, not to mention the ever-growing debt. Is it any wonder gold and silver is becoming the investments of choice.
Housing is going to be frozen as the backlog of housing inventory deepens. There are about two million houses for sale. Then there is the phantom inventory being held by lenders, that they cannot prove they own, of some four million more units. The rate of home ownership continues to fall. If that continues who will ever buy these homes?
These problems stand to the side as the stock market approaches new highs on a combination of QE2 and share buybacks by transnational corporations. At the same time gold, silver and commodities boom. The $600 bill QE2, or $75 billion a month, is what the Fed did the last time around and that was only successful for 5 quarters of 3% growth, half of which came from the increase in money and credit. Monetary creation of $2.5 trillion will increase GDP by 1% to 1-1/2% taking it to 2% this time. This time the reflation of asserts is not going to be as easy and won’t work as well. Most of the funds will end up in banks and on Wall Street, which will use the money to speculate with again. Banks have been trying to lend more since June and borrowers are generally not interested. They want to see what medical reform will cost the, whether the Bush tax cuts will be extended and what will new regulations mean to them. On the consumer side, only the government will lend to poor credit risks. Some 25% of mortgage holders are in trouble via negative equity and we believe that will worsen. In the face of growing unemployment it will be difficult to stay better than even.
The dollar’s countertrend rally is over. It could be called technical and flaccid at best. That is probably because that is the way Messrs. Bernanke and Geithner want it to be. It cheapens exports and restrains buying of foreign goods due to their higher costs.
We can expect more government debt as 5 million jobless get an extension on unemployment. It is either that or the possibility of revolution.
Will tax cuts be extended costing another $40 billion? Will a 1% financial transaction tax be passed, or will a grab for $6 trillion in retirement benefits become reality? Then there is the administration’s $650 billion stimulus package, which may well be a dead issue.
This week in gold and silver has certainly been spectacular in spite of continued US government manipulation. The professionals and big hitters just lie in wait for the cartel to push prices down, so they can take them back up again. After almost 20 years of price suppression the government, Fed and other central banks are getting another taste of their own medicine. Gold and silver are not the hard sells they once were with a crumbling financial foundati8on that underpins the dollar. The fact that many corporations, particularly in the financial sector, are carrying two sets of books doesn’t help much either. We see Foreclosuregate, which is just really getting underway, with three class action lawsuits, one RICO, versus JPMorgan Chase and HSBC for rigging the silver market, a falling dollar, and currency war, which will become trade war. Not to speak of a massive change in congress and deficits that worsen daily. Least we also not forget the fall coming in the municipal bond market as AMBAC goes bankrupt and all those bogus overrated bonds return to their real rating and as a consequence they fall in value. Just think what they’ll have to pay for interest in the future, not an inviting future.
That is why we say gold and silver related assets are the place to be. It has been that way for ten years over which we have recommended such assets and we see five or more good years ahead. The upward momentum in gold and silver will accelerate as funds escape from other asset groups. Less than 1% of investors own gold and silver shares and less than 2% own coins and bullion. Thus, plenty of players are yet to enter the game.
During September retail investors were busy taking profits as they pulled $11.2 billion from equity mutual funds, or YTD $91.2 billion. On a net basis $29.3 billion was redemptions.
62% of portfolio managers see equities as the top performing asset class in the next six months to a year versus 15% for precious metals. That is very bullish for gold and silver. 70% see little chance of another economic contraction. That means they expect the Fed to inject $2.5 trillion into the economy. That is inflationary and good for gold and silver.
Third quarter employment costs slowed to just plus 0.4% and yoy to plus 1.9%. Wages rose 0.3%, and just 1.5% yoy, as inflation exceeds 7% in the real world.
Profits may be up but revenues – sales, still lag the spring of 2008 by 11%. That means earnings should fall next year.
In mid-2006, Citi knew 60% of the mortgages they purchased were defective. Knowing this they still gave representations and warrantees to investors that they were not defective. This figure grew to 80% in 2008; all management was interested in was profits and bonuses. Robert Rubin and Charles Prince were warned over and over again, but to no avail – greed triumphed. This operation was to enrich management without a care that they consciously were committing fraud. This was not errors and omissions; this was fraud on a scale never seen before.
As a result, PIMCO, the NYC Fed, Blackrock and Freddie Mac and Neuberger Berman-Europe have sued Countrywide, and all buyers of MBS should collaborate and sue all the originators.
For those of you who were unaware of it, or had forgotten, Countrywide had settled with NY pension funds for $624 million, one of the largest securities fraud settlements in US history.
These companies not only committed securities fraud, but fraud in the robosignings and there is a mountain of evidence to attest to that. The players are Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, UBS and Morgan Stanley.
There was little new in Fed revelations. They will buy $600 billion more Treasuries and Agencies and included will be $75 billion in long-term Treasuries. What they didn’t tell you is the real number will be $2.5 trillion.
"Are we going to decentralize in a way that creates wealth, or are we going to centralize in a way that destroys wealth? That is the battle that is going on globally."
- Catherine Austin Fitts (Former Assistant Secretary of Housing under George H.W. Bush)
November 02, 2010
Former Assistant Secretary of Housing under George H.W. Bush Catherine Austin Fitts blows the whistle on how the financial terrorists have deliberately imploded the US economy and transferred gargantuan amounts of wealth offshore as a means of sacrificing the American middle class. Fitts documents how trillions of dollars went missing from government coffers in the 90's and how she was personally targeted for exposing the fraud. Fitts explains how every dollar of debt issued to service every war, building project, and government program since the American Revolution up to around 2 years ago - around $12 trillion - has been doubled again in just the last 18 months alone with the bank bailouts. "We're literally witnessing the leveraged buyout of a country and that's why I call it a financial coup d'état, and that's what the bailout is for," states Fitts. Massive amounts of financial capital have been sucked out the United States and moved abroad, explains Fitts, ensuring that corporations have become more powerful than governments, changing the very structure of governance on the planet and ensuring we are ruled by private corporations. Pension and social security funds have also been stolen and moved offshore, leading to the end of fiscal responsibility and sovereignty as we know it. Fitts explained how when she was in government she tried to encourage the creation of small businesses, new jobs and new skills to compete in a globalized world otherwise the American middle class was toast, only to be forced out by the feds using dirty tricks. The elite instead wanted Americans to take on more credit card, mortgage and auto debt that corporations and insurers knew they couldn't afford, while quietly moving their jobs abroad in the meantime. This is a key interview in understanding precisely how the financial collapse was deliberately planned from the outset as a means of eviscerating the American middle class.
Letter to Obama: The Preservation of Jewish Legal Rights to the Land of Israel
20 Marheshvan 5771
October 28, 2010
The President of the United States of America
His Excellency Barack Hussein Obama
Dear Mr. President,
Re: The Preservation of Jewish Legal Rights to the Land of Israel
We, the Organization of Land of Israel Loyalists, representing Jews resident in the regions of Judea and Samaria, Jerusalem as well as throughout all the Land of Israel, who have come together to preserve the integrity of the Holy Land under the sovereignty of the Jewish People, wish to bring to your attention, Mr. President, that your policy of “Two states for two peoples” can only lead to a substantive violation of the rights of the Jewish People.
As a reader of Scripture who declares his faith in the Heavenly Master of All, you undoubtedly know that the Divine Creator of Heaven and Earth granted to the forefathers of the People of Israel, and to their progeny after them, sovereign rights to settle the Land of Israel as an eternal legacy, as we are told in the very section of the Book of Genesis the Jewish People read this past Sabbath in their synagogues the world over, regarding the Divine Promise to Abraham the Patriarch: “And I have bestowed upon you and your progeny after you the land in which you reside, the entirety of the Land of Canaan, as an eternal legacy” (Genesis 17:8).
Just as the United States of America does not share with others its sovereignty over its spacious dominion, so – and even more so – the Jewish People do not have now, nor will they have in the future, any sovereign partners in the small country we have inherited from our forefathers.
No person on earth, not even one who is recognized as the leader of the greatest nation on Earth, has the authority to bring about the transfer of portions of the Land of Israel to other peoples. If, despite this, anyone should attempt to do so, such a deed would be tantamount to a declaration of war against the Creator of the World.
We wish further to bring to your attention that under international law, as well as under the domestic law of the United States of America, it is forbidden to violate the legal rights of the Jewish People to the Land of Israel already recognized by the world community, as confirmed by the League of Nations in 1922 and, even earlier, stated explicitly in the Resolution adopted by the San Remo Peace Conference in April 1920, the boundaries of which were defined at that time in agreements negotiated between the Mandatory Powers, the United Kingdom and France, as the borders of the Jewish National Home.
Enclosed with this letter are appendices documenting the fact that the preservation of the entirety of the Land of Israel under the sovereignty of the Jewish People is part and parcel of the domestic law of your own country, under the Anglo-American Convention on Palestine ratified in 1924 and proclaimed before a joint session of Congress a year later, in December 1925.
Furthermore, according to Conventions compiled under the auspices of the United Nations regarding Indigenous Peoples, the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria and of Jerusalem, by virtue of their being the original inhabitants of these regions as scions of the Jewish People, are protected from any forceful evacuation as well as any other interference in their everyday lives.
Please note that the above assertion – that all of the Promised Land, from Sinai to Lebanon – was divinely bequeathed to the Children of Israel is supported also by many serious Muslim scholars and accords with what many Muslims in this area know and accept!
Having brought all the foregoing to your attention, Mr. President, we are certain that you will reconsider and repudiate your present policy and proclaim to the world at large that the Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish People alone. Such a step would indeed make a contribution to the cause of peace and restore the fundamental world order, as well as enhance your own stature in the eyes of your own people and in the eyes of the world, including the Islamic peoples thereof. In contrast, continuing along the path of your present policy will unfortunately lead to disaster of cataclysmic proportions, to an international conflagration and to devastating consequences which will undoubtedly endure for many generations – a catastrophe that will be recalled in history under your own illustrious name.
This is our first and only appeal to you, as a believer in Divine Providence and in the Holy Scriptures, as a leader responsible to his own people and for the peace and welfare of the entire world: cease all plans to detach sections from the Land of Israel and rather assist the Jewish People to settle throughout its homeland in peace and security.
If you do so, you will be blessed by the Sages of Israel, whose blessing is that of the Almighty, as stated in the very same Book of the Bible cited above (Genesis 12:2):
“And be you a blessing!” This has been understood by our Sages as meaning: “All blessings are in your hands!” – in itself a blessing for all the nations of the world, in accordance with the Divine message to Abraham (Genesis 17:5): “I have made you as a father to many nations!”
Sincerely,
Harav Shalom Dov Ber Halevi Wolpo, Chair
Harav Israel Ariel, Chief Rabbi of the Temple Mount
" It is interesting that not long after President Obama was elected, he added a surprising rider to his demand for cessation of building in Judea and Samaria when he concluded that he was sure that the Pope would approve of such a policy!"
The question naturally arises, “Since when has Rome dictated American policy/” …. the answer is probably “increasingly for at least 100 years”.

Here is a comment that appeared after the above letter was posted:
Straight out of Benedikt's mouth. This is the legacy of Rome, this is the cancer eating at the world, spread directly by the pope, by the Catholic church, by the Vatican, and from there to the rest of the world, where little copycats such as this anonymous poster blindly repeat what they heard being said in Rome.
"We cannot resort to theological and Biblical assumptions as a tool to justify injustice. We want to say that the promise of God in the Old Testament, relating to the ‘promised land’ … as Christians, we’re saying that this promise was nullified by the presence of Jesus Christ, who then brought about the Kingdom of God. As Christians, we cannot talk about a ‘promised land’ for the Jews. We talk about a ‘promised land’ which is the Kingdom of God. THAT is the promised land, which encompasses the entire earth with a message of peace and justice and equality for all the children of God.
There is no preferred or privileged people. All men and women from every country have become the ‘chosen people.’ This is clear for us.
We cannot just refer to the ‘promised land’ to justify the return of the Jews in Israel, and [ignore] the Palestinians who were kicked out of their land. Five million Jews kicked out three or four million Palestinians from their land, and this is not justifiable.
There’s no ‘chosen people’ any longer for Christians. Everybody is the ‘chosen people.’ What we say is something political. Sacred scripture should not be used to justify the occupation of Palestinian land on the part of the Israelis."
... And here is what Benedikt said just three weeks ago:
"Salvation is universal, but it passes through a specific historical mediation: the mediation of the people of Israel, which goes on to become that of Jesus Christ and the Church." Pope Benedict XVI, Homily, Opening Mass of the Synod on the Middle East, St. Peter's Basilica, Sunday, October 10, 2010 And, the Pope continued, the way is not simply to be understood as the possession of an earthly territory, an earthly homeland, an earthly "Promised Land."
This 'land' is not of this world; the whole of the divine plan goes beyond history, but the Lord wants to build it with men, for men and in men, beginning with the coordinates of space and time in which they live and which He Himself gave them."
This, in a sense, is the central message of this Synod, already stated beforehand by the Pope in this opening homily.
The message is that the "Promised Land" of freedom and peace to which God wishes to lead "His" people is, yes, "not of this world," for, as the Pope says, "the whole of the divine plan goes beyond history."
And yet, at the same time, "the Lord wishes to build it [the Promised Land] with men, for men and in men, beginning with the coordinates of space and time in which they live and which He Himself gave them."
Meanwhile, many people just know better: witness the demonstrations that took place at the Vatican last night. Real people know the true legacy of Rome; THE KING IS NAKED: Rome is evil!The pope is evil! Benedikt IS the naked wolf!
November 1, 2010 In the first such gathering at the heart of the Catholic Church, victims of clerical sex abuse from around the world gathered Sunday night outside the Vatican to demand justice. But police blocked them from bringing their protest under the windows of Pope Benedict XVI.
Close to 100 sex abuse victims carrying torches were outnumbered by paramilitary police who cordoned off the main avenue leading to the Vatican. Only two protesters were allowed to approach Vatican soil and deposit sealed letters addressed to the pope from abuse victims.
At a rally staged just 500 yards from the Vatican, Gary Bergeron — co-founder of the group Survivors Voice — addressed the crowd.
"What we once had as children we can never get back," he said. "We stand here today to serve as reminders to the world that what was once taken from us should never be taken from another child again."
Bergeron also said the group called on the United Nations "to define and include the systemic sexual abuse of children under Article VII of its charter definitions of crimes against humanity."
Prompted by the worldwide explosion of sex abuse scandals, the event aimed to show victims they're not alone.
Bernie McDaid — who met with Benedict in Washington two years ago — said he had told the pope there was a cancer in the church. But, McDaid said, little has been done.
The demonstrators included a group of Italian men who were abused by priests at a Catholic institute for the deaf in Verona between the 1950s and 1980s. They made themselves heard with whistles and held placards with messages such as "Shame," "The pope protects pedophile priests," "Church without abuse," and "Pope on trial."
Margaret Kennedy, an abuse victim from Ireland, said she felt betrayed.
"I feel sad, because I was a happy Catholic," she said, "but I think the institution has become very corrupt, and I find that incredibly sad, because my faith means so much to me and I think they have not been good servants of the people."
Earlier, participants stood up one by one to tell of lives devastated by the abuse they suffered as children, of the guilt and shame and solitude they suffered in the belief that they were alone.
Gianni Bisoli, 62, a victim of abuse at the institute for the deaf in Verona, spoke with difficulty. But his message was clear.
"This is a worldwide problem," he said. "We want justice. We want these priests to be defrocked and kept away from children."
Shelly Winemiller, a 42-year-old mother from Wisconsin, said she was abused from age 4 to 14 by the family priest.
"It's time to stop the stonewalling and denial," she said. "The pope has got to understand he has to do something about this world crisis. It's like a tsunami over the world, and he has got to do something."
Please note the relative lack of coverage given this important news item in the general press, as well as the complete black-out in Vatican news ( AsiaNews, Zenit Agency).

Am Yisrael wants the Temple rebuilt!
A survey conducted by the Panels Insitute revealed that 64 % of the Israeli public , and half of secular Israelis, want the Temple rebuilt. 97% of respondents know that the Temple was destroyed on Tisha B'Av ( Ninth of Av).
The survey's second question queried the public’s desire to rebuild the Temple. Sixty-four percent responded favorably and 36 percent said no. Analysis of the answers revealed that not only hareidi-religious and other religious Jews want to rebuild the Temple, (100 percent and 97 percent respectively), but also the traditional public (91 percent) and many secular Jews (47 percent) do as well.
Just a reminder to our many enemies, specially 'you know who' (below ), from Isaiah the Prophet:
Isaiah 49:24-26
"Can prey be taken back from a strong one; can the righteous captive escape?
But thus said Hashem: Even the captive of the strong can be taken back, and the prey of the mighty can escape; I, Myself, will take up your cause, and I, MYSELF, WILL SAVE YOUR CHILDREN.
And I will feed your oppressors their own flesh, and as with sweet wine shall they become drunk; then all flesh shall know that I am Hashem, your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Israel."

QUOTES BY THE ENEMY, AND ABOUT THE ENEMY'S TACTICS
Here below are quotes related to the enemy's nature, tactics and philosophy.
Always remember: LEARN FROM YOUR ENEMY, EMULATE HIM, but for the FORCES OF GOOD!
Whenever he does A, do A, in reverse.
He does B, do B, in reverse.
We might not have his financial resources or capabilities, but we have a much greater ally: HASHEM.
Remember David and Goliath. We are David, and with God's help, we can defeat Goliath. All we have to do is UNMASK THE EVIL GIANT, UNMASK HIS TACTICS, UNDERSTAND HIS DECEPTIONS, AND EXPOSE THEM TO THE BRIGHT LIGHT OF DAY.
AND PRAY TO GOD FOR HELP.
AND ALWAYS, ONLY STRIVE TO DO GOOD,
SO THAT WE CAN BE A FORCE OF GOOD AGAINST THESE MESSENGERS OF DARKNESS.
"PROPAGANDA CANNOT TAKE TIME OFF"
"Propaganda cannot take time off"
... one of the key rules ofmodern disinformation, which is that the required message must be repeated very frequently if it is to pass...
Serge Tchakhotine, author of "Le Viol des Foules par la Propagande Politique", 1939
THE STATE IS THE ENEMY!
"You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the ... public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security.
This is the political logic which remains behind all the massacres and the bombings which remain unpunished, because the state cannot convict itself or declare itself responsible for what happened."
Daniele Ganser, " NATO'S Secret Army, Operation Gladio and Terrorism in Western Europe "

THE DARK SIDE OF THE U.S.A.: AS IN SERBIA, SO IN YESHA...
... in 1998, the US State Department and intelligence agencies decided to use the Kosovo Liberation Army to get rid of Slobodan Miloševic. "The US agenda was clear. When the time was right they were going to use the KLA to provide the solution to the political problem" – the "problem" being, as Marshall explains earlier, Miloševic’s continued political survival. This meant supporting the KLA’s terrorist secessionism, and later fighting a war against Yugoslavia on its side. Marshall quotes Mark Kirk, a US naval intelligence officer, saying that, "Eventually we opened up a huge operation against Miloševic, both secret and open." The secret part of the operation involved not only things like stuffing the various observer missions which were sent into Kosovo with officers from the British and American intelligence services, but also – crucially – giving military, technical, financial, logistical and political support to the KLA, which, as Marshall himself admits, "smuggled drugs, ran prostitution rackets and murdered civilians." "Bags of money had been brought in for years.... Organisations controlled by George Soros also played a crucial role, as they were later to do, in 2003–4, in Georgia.... The so-called "democrats" were, in reality, nothing but foreign agents."

MAKE SURE TO WATCH THE PPS"Will there soon be an anti-Jewish genocide in Israel?"
I am a Jew living in the Land of Judea (Eretz Yehuda), which was given to us, the Jewish people, by G-D Himself. I love this place very much; I will do my best to develop it, cherish it, protect it, turn it into the paradise it was always meant to be - and defend it against any and all enemies of Am Yisrael.
