U.S. Congress Angered By Continued Saudi Boycott of Israel

US congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle have expressed outrage after learning that Saudi Arabia is blatantly violating a pledge to stop boycotting Israel and Israeli-made goods.

The congressional leaders voiced their anger following a Jerusalem Post report last week that detailed how the Saudi have in fact been steadily intensifying the enforcement of the Arab League trade embargo against Israel in recent years.

That is despite a promise by Riyadh in 2005 to drop the boycott in exchange for Washington's support in gaining entry into the World Trade Organization.

"Saudi Arabia's disregard of its 2005 pledge to end the boycott against Israel is unacceptable," Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind) told the Post. "Congress and the administration must hold Saudi Arabia accountable."

Rep. Howard Berman (D-Ca), who chairs the powerful House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he didn't appreciate being lied to by the Saudis, and vowed to "pursue this matter with the [Obama] administration."

Quiet Sun Can Also Hit the Earth With Wild Winds

SINGAPORE- The Sun can lash the Earth with powerful winds that can disrupt communications, aviation and power lines even when it is in the quiet phase of its 11-year solar cycle, U.S. scientists say.

Observers have traditionally used the number of sunspots on the surface of the Sun to measure its activity. The number of sunspots reaches a peak at what is called the solar maximum, then declines to reach a minimum during a cycle.

At the peak, intense solar flares and geomagnetic storms eject vast amounts of energy into space, crashing into the Earth's protective magnetic fields, knocking out satellites, disrupting communications and causing colorful aurorae.

But scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in the United States and the University of Michigan found that the Earth was bombarded with intense solar winds last year despite an unusually quiet phase for the Sun.

"The Sun continues to surprise us," said Sarah Gibson of the center's High Altitude Observatory and lead author of the study. "The solar wind can hit Earth like a fire hose even when there are virtually no sunspots."

Scientists previously thought the streams of energy largely disappeared as the solar cycle approached the minimum.

Gibson and the team, which also included scientists from NOAA and NASA, compared measurements from the current solar minimum interval, taken in 2008, with measurements of the last solar minimum in 1996.

Although the current solar minimum has fewer sunspots than any minimum in 75 years, the Sun's effect on Earth's outer radiation belt was more than three times greater last year than in 1996.

The research, published in the latest issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research, found that the prevalence of high-speed streams during the solar minimum in 2008 appeared to be related to the current structure of the Sun.

As the number of sunspots fell over the past few years, large holes lingered in the surface of the Sun near its equator. The high-speed streams that blow out of those holes engulfed Earth during 55 percent of the study period in 2008, compared to 31 percent of the study period in 1996.

A single stream of charged particles can last for as long as 7 to 10 days, the study says.

"The new observations from last year are changing our understanding of how solar quiet intervals affect the Earth and how and why this might change from cycle to cycle," said co-author Janet Kozyra of the University of Michigan.

Palestinians 'disgraced' By Obama - Led Photo-op

Palestinian Authority officials told American media on Tuesday that US President Barack Obama had disgraced Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas by forcing him to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly earlier in the day. The brief three-way hand-shaking session was "a disgrace to the PA" and a "surrender to Israel," said one Palestinian official. Another called it "a desperate diplomatic step by the American government." Abbas had previously refused to meet with Netanyahu until the latter put an end to all Jewish construction in Judea, Samaria and on the eastern side of Jerusalem. The Palestinian leader had used his hardline position to win favor on the Palestinian street. But a senior US official told Ha'aretz that Obama made clear to both Netanyahu and Abbas that he was growing impatient with their foot-dragging and their failure to restart meaningful bilateral negotiations. The president gave both the Israelis and Palestinians three weeks to come up with answers that would enable a resumption of talks. The source described the meeting as "businesslike," but anything but cordial. Following the meeting, Netanyahu told Israeli reporters that Abbas had been pressured to drop his preconditions, and that as soon as a proper framework for negotiations could be agreed upon, talks would resume. He did warn, however, that if the Palestinians did not drop their refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state, then negotiations would quickly fall apart. Abbas, meanwhile, appeared to actually harden his demands, issuing a statement insisting that nothing short of an Israeli commitment to surrender every inch of Judea and Samaria, including the eastern half of Jerusalem, would result in a resumption of full peace negotiations.

Israel Feeling Abandoned By U.S.?

The head of a messianic Jewish ministry says he senses a real uneasiness among the Israeli people since Barack Obama became president of the United States.

 Last week U.S. Mideast envoy George Mitchell met behind closed doors with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and later conferred with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank. Mitchell was trying to pave the way for a meeting between the two sides, but Abbas has ruled out talks with Israel until it halts construction in West Bank settlements.
 
David Brickner, executive director of Jews for Jesus, visited Israel this summer. He says the Israelis are concerned about what direction the Obama administration is taking with regards to the Jewish state.
 
"What struck me is the unease in Israel now that a new administration in the United States is putting enormous pressure on them, that they feel very much alone, that the arm-twisting to halt the expansion of existing settlements in the West Bank is hugely problematic," he contends.
 
Brickner says he shares the Israelis' concerns. "I feel like there has been a shift in the politics of America's relationship to Israel," he adds. "And I understand the need to reach out and establish relationships with as many countries in the Middle East as possible -- but not at the expense of your best friend."
 
The ministry leader admits he fears for America as a nation if it withdraws its support of Israel, the nation he says that God has promised to eternally bless.

Holdren Says Constitution Backs Compulsory Abortion
Sep 23rd, 2009
Daily NewsWND - Jerome R. Corsi
Categories: Today's Headlines;Warning

Obama science czar John Holdren stated in a college textbook he co-authored that in conditions of emergency, compulsory abortion would be sustainable under the U.S. Constitution, even with Supreme Court review.

WND has obtained a copy of "Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment," published in 1977 and co-authored by Holdren with Malthusian population alarmist Paul R. Ehrlich and Ehrlich's wife, Ann. As WND reported, the authors argued involuntary birth-control measures, including forced sterilization, may be necessary and morally acceptable under extreme conditions, such as widespread famine brought about by "climate change."

To prevent ecological disasters, including "global warming," Holdren argued the U.S. Constitution would permit involuntary abortions, government-imposed sterilizations and laws limiting the number of children as steps justified under the banner of "sustainable well-being."

'Warming' result of too many people

A worldwide scientific agenda is emerging to link global population growth with global warming, arguing that climate change is such a severe crisis that the United States must participate in a United Nations mandate to implement global birth control in order to reduce carbon emissions.

Addressing the U.N. climate summit in New York yesterday, President Obama declared climate change resulting from global warming could leave future generations with an "irreversible catastrophe."

Constitutional mandate for abortion

Arguing that "ample authority" exists to regulate population growth, Holdren and the Ehrlichs wrote on page 837 of their 1970s textbook that "under the United States Constitution, effective population-control programs, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society."

In the next sentence, the authors were careful to note that few in the U.S. in the 1970s considered the situation serious enough to justify compulsion.

Still, in the next paragraph, the authors advanced their key point: "To provide a high quality of life for all, there must be fewer people."

The authors of "Ecoscience" argued that a "legal restriction on the right to have more than a given number of children" could be crafted under the U.S. Constitution in crisis situations under the standard that "law has as its proper function the protection of each person and each group of persons."

On page 838, the authors argued, "The law could properly say to a mother that, in order to protect the children she already has, she could have no more."

To justify the point, the authors commented "differential rates of reproduction between ethnic, racial, religious, or economic groups might result in increased competition for resources and political power and thereby undermine social order."

The authors continued their constitutional analysis of government-mandated population control measures by writing: "If some individuals contribute to general social deterioration by overproducing children, and if the need is compelling, they can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility in their resource-consumption patterns – provided they are not denied equal protection." (Italics in the original text.)

Recognizing the politically charged nature of the subject, Holdren has attempted to disavow his 1970s views that compulsory government-mandated birth control measures may be today necessary.

A Global Warming Emergency

An analysis of Holdren's current statements on global warming strongly suggest the president's science czar sees global warming creating an environmental emergency.

Art's Comment......The truly frightening thing is that President Obama has surrounded himself with men and women like this man.

A high ranking Islamic cleric tells thousands of Moslem children on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem that Jews will never build a temple on that site

Recently, as many as ten thousand Moslem children were on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to demonstrate the next generation of Moslems that will defend and continue the safekeeping of the Temple Mount, the Al Aqsa Mosque, as the Moslem world refers to this piece of real estate sacred to both Jews and Moslems.

The Mufti, Sheik Sabri, told the thousands of children swearing by Allah that the Jews will never return to take the Temple Mount and build their Temple there which is the Jewish dream, and the Mufti said that dream will never be fulfilled.

Jewish worshippers gather at the Western Wall surrounding the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and pray their Temple will be rebuilt and then the Messiah will come to lead them into the kingdom promised three thousand years ago to King David.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A statement by the Mufti in Jeruslaem to thousands of Moslem children that there will never be a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount is contradictary to Bible prophecy for the End Times.

As the controversy over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem intensifies, the Mufti, a high ranking Moslem cleric, Sheik Sabri, told up to ten thousand Moslem children recently gathered on the Temple Mount that they must defend Al Aqsa and never allow the Jews to rebuild their Temple on this sacred site. For the Mufti to tell thousands of Moslem children that the Jews must not be allowed to build a Temple on the Temple Mount is in total contradiction of what God's Word reveals for the End Times.

Jesus Christ said there would be a Temple on the Temple Mount, Matthew 24:15. Apostles Paul and John said one day a Jewish Temple would be rebuilt in Jerusalem, II Thessalonians 2:4 and Revelation 11:1-2. These passages of Scripture speak of the next Temple to stand in Jerusalem, the Tribulation Temple, and all preparations have been made for that Temple to be errected. The Jews could start construction at any time, but do remember that Zechariah 6:12 tells us that Jesus Himself, will return to the earth and build His Temple which will be there on the Temple Mount forever, Ezekiel 37:26, 28.

The Mufti in Jerusalem is wrong. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
