Researchers in China say they have discovered the fossils of a new type of flying reptile that lived more than 160 million years ago and it provides the first clear evidence of a controversial idea called Modular Evolution.

The twenty new fossils found in Northeastern China show similarities to both the primitive and more advanced flying reptiles and date back to the time when flying reptiles flourished between 65 and 220 million years ago.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

The discovery of the fossils of the supposed missing link in the family of the flying reptiles actually proves the Bible as it relates to the prophecies for the last days.

Once again, scientists rush to the media world with information about a supposed link in the evolutionary chain, this time with the latest research on the ancient creature, a flying reptile. The report coming out of China is that a discovery of twenty new fossils of a flying reptile, that is a combination of both the primitive and more advanced flying reptiles, is actually what they call the "missing link". These new found fossils set a date for this flying reptile at between 65 and 220 million years ago.

This latest report from the scientific world is evidence that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled even today. The Apostle Peter in his last writing, II Peter 3, wrote that in the last days, there would be those that deny God had created the world as recorded in Genesis 1. The Genesis 1 account says that God created the heavens, the earth and all that in them is in six 24 hour days not over millions of years, that is if you take the Bible literally.

God told Moses in Exodus 20:9-11 that He created the heavens, the earth and everything in them in six 24 hour days, again that is if you take the Bible literally. We must take the Bible literally or how can we believe what it says about Jesus, His death and resurrection and our salvation.

Supposed scientific fact that contradicts the Bible is indeed evidence that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

Obama: Homosexual Relationships ‘just As Real and Admirable’ As Heterosexual Marriage.

President Obama delivered an unprecedented message to the Human Rights Campaign Saturday night. Sounding more like a homosexual activist than a sitting president, Obama went well beyond his expected message of “I’m here with you” on the homosexual agenda.

"My expectation is that when you look back on these years, you will see a time in which we put a stop to discrimination against gays and lesbians -- whether in the office or on the battlefield,” Obama told an estimated audience of 3,000. “You will see a time in which we as a nation finally recognize relationships between two men or two women as just as real and admirable as relationships between a man and a woman.” 

Even Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese was stunned at the breadth of  Obama's statement, calling it “something quite remarkable.” 

"This was a historic night when we felt the full embrace and commitment of the President of the United States,” Solmonese said in a post-speech statement. “It’s simply unprecedented."

But Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, called the president's remarks “appalling.” 

“Barack Obama is basically declaring that these relationships are basically equal to the real thing,” LaBarbera told CNSNews.com. “I think this is the ultimate Obama audacity play – for him, just declaring it seems to make it so.” 

The president pointedly used the pronoun “we” – not “you” – throughout much of his speech.

“Do not doubt the direction we are headed and the destination we will reach,” Obama said at one point. 

"For despite the real gains that we've made, there's (sic) still laws to change and there's (sic) still hearts to open,” the president said at another juncture.  

Obama also talked about homosexual “families” –  two men and children or two women and children.
 
“If we are honest with ourselves we'll admit that there are too many who do not yet know in their lives or feel in their hearts the urgency of this struggle. That's why I continue to speak about the importance of equality for LGBT (lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgendered) families -- and not just in front of gay audiences,” Obama said.
 
The president said he and his wife Michelle had made a point of inviting homosexual “families” to the White House to participate in events like the Easter Egg Roll – “because we want to send a message.”

Obama noted that his administration had extended benefits to the domestic partners of homosexual federal workers and that he had appointed an open homosexual, John Berry,  to serve as director of the federal Office of Personnel Management. 

As expected, he also mentioned his support for a laundry list of homosexual activist issues, including bringing an end to the military’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on homosexuals serving in the military and overturning the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as being between one man and more woman.

“I will end ‘Don’t ask, Don’t tell.’ That’s my commitment to you,” he said.
But the president also characterized those who oppose the homosexual agenda in terminology reminiscent of last year’s presidential campaign, when then-candidate Obama, campaigning in Pennsylvania, referred to “bitter” residents of small-town America who “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them.” 
 
Obama told Saturday's event that there are still people "who hold fast to outworn arguments and old attitudes; who fail to see your families like their families; who would deny you the rights most Americans take for granted." 

He ended by telling the story of a young man struggling with homosexuality -- "wrestling alone with a secret he’s held as long as he can remember.  
 
“I believe the future is bright for that young person,” Obama added. "For while there will be setbacks and bumps along the road, the truth is that our common ideals are a force far stronger than any division that some might sow.”

LaBarbera said Obama's comments went far beyond using the presidency as a bully pulpit.

“The condescension is glaring," LaBarbera said. "He’s really putting down millions and millions of faithful, moral-minded citizens and dismissing traditional beliefs with such arrogance, it is almost indescribable. It really is amazing.” 

“It's just hateful rhetoric,” LaBarbera added. “It’s a different kind of hate, to be sure, but it is hate – he hates our Judeo-Christian tradition.”

Lurching Toward Sodom and Gomorrah

Judge Robert Bork wrote a book a number of years ago in which he described an America that was "slouching towards Gomorrah." Well, you can forget the slouching part. We are now running pell-mell, headlong toward Gomorrah, racing into the moral abyss at breakneck speed.

We are no longer on some kind of slippery slope. The United States is going over a moral Niagara in a flimsy barrel.

Pres. Barack Obama last night told cheering throngs of homosexual activists that he is determined to change the law that declares that homosexuality is incompatible with military service. He also pledged to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, the only thing that stands between civilization and darkness when it comes to the definition of marriage. If DOMA is repealed, it is a certainty that some federal court somewhere will compel all 50 states to perform homosexual weddings, regardless of what their own state constitutions say.

With the hate crimes bill virtually certain to be the law of the land by this time next week, and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act gathering steam, it is possible that all four major objectives of homosexualists will be accomplished in the United States by this time next year. The rewriting of America's moral code on matters of sexuality will be complete.

Family law will be turned into something unrecognizable if DOMA is repealed, and the homosexual agenda will invade the military if DADT is repealed, and the homosexual agenda will invade the workplace if ENDA is passed.

The hate crimes law means that it will be a criminal offense to think politically incorrect thoughts about homosexual behavior, transgenderism, and a host of other sexually non-normative orientations. People who engage in normative sexual expression will now have less legal protection than cross-dressers, pedophiles, prostitutes and voyeurs.

Our schools, under the influence of Kevin Jennings, an avowed homosexual who sees nothing wrong with adult males preying on teenage boys, will become indoctrination centers in homosexual dogma.

Homosexuality will become the favored sexual orientation in our country in all segments of society, and perversion will be granted special protections in the military and the workplace that are denied to heterosexuals and people of faith. No disagreement will be allowed; in fact, it will be punishable by fines, incarceration or worse.

Dissent will no longer by the highest form of patriotism. It will instead by the quickest path to getting fired, sued or jailed. Welcome to fascist America.

If there was ever a time for conservatives to stand athwart history and yell "Stop!", the time is now.

Letters: President Blair

Save Europe from this American stooge

There must be millions of EU citizens who would do more for Europe than Tony Blair, if only there were some sort of democratic process to elect one of them as President. Blair never lifted a finger to lead from the front and promote the European ideal when he was Prime Minister, and so we had 10 years of stagnation on one of the critical issues of our time.

Since then, he has not exactly covered himself with glory as Middle East peace envoy, and has had to pass the job over to George Mitchell, who was also the brains behind the Northern Ireland peace process, the one success of the Blair premiership, for which Blair takes all the credit. But EU President, especially at this time, is too important a job to be handed over to this self-regarding lightweight.

The EU is on the point of an important change. The American Empire is starting to die and the EU will, slowly and surely, be taking over its role and influence. It is already happening financially as the euro emerges as the world's most reliable currency. Politically too, the EU with its "soft power" is becoming a major diplomatic force. We Europeans are, after more than 60 years, finally ridding ourselves of our dependence on and subservience to the US, a fact already recognised by serious politicians on the European mainland.

Tony Blair has shown by his record that he does not see the world this way. If appointed President, he would seek to strengthen American influence in Europe as demonstrated by his Iraq war record, his agreement to US plans for Nato expansion into eastern Europe and his support for self-interested American ambitions to have Turkey accepted into the Union.

We need a President who can be relied upon to put Europe first, and Tony Blair has shown that he will not do that. I am afraid that when (not if, I fear) he is given the job that so few of us want him to have, he will be little more than an American stooge. Why doesn't he just stay home and spend more time with his money?

Fatah Signs Truce Deal With Hamas

Sources in Egypt say Hamas also plans to sign accord postponed in aftermath of Goldstone report. Hamas spokesperson: We won't be pressured into signing.

Representatives of Fatah in Ramallah have signed a preliminary truce deal with Hamas, Palestinian sources said Wednesday, despite recent tension over Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' conduct following the Goldstone report.

The signing of the agreement had been scheduled for later this month in Cairo, due to Hamas' objections, and it remains unclear at what time the latter group will follow in Fatah's footsteps.

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said his organization would not be pressured into signing a truce deal Fatah had already signed. "Things happened that our public opinion cannot accept, and the Goldstone affair is still shaking up the atmosphere," he said.

After the deal was signed Hamas prime minister in Gaza Ismail Haniyeh spoke before a group of those injured in Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip. He attacked the Palestinian Authority for its treatment of the Goldstone Report.

"The Palestinians people will not forgive the PA for its crime against the martyrs and the innocent Palestinians," Haniyeh said.

Sources in Egypt told Ynet that messages from Hamas indicated they intended to sign the accord as well, despite recent accusations by Fatah against the group.

Fatah had said that Hamas was attempting to gain more from the deal in the aftermath of the report saying Israel had committed war crimes in Gaza, which the Palestinian Authority did not at first embrace.

Conflict has surrounded the truce in recent weeks over Abbas' refusal to push for a UN debate on the Goldstone report, and Hamas asked Cairo to postpone a truce conference scheduled there for October 26. Abbas has since then changed his position on the matter and demanded that "war criminals" be punished.

Dollar Loses Reserve Status to Yen & Euro
Oct 14th, 2009
Daily NewsNew York Post - PAUL THARP
Categories: Today's Headlines;Warning

Ben Bernanke's dollar crisis went into a wider mode yesterday as the greenback was shockingly upstaged by the euro and yen, both of which can lay claim to the world title as the currency favored by central banks as their reserve currency.

Over the last three months, banks put 63 percent of their new cash into euros and yen -- not the greenbacks -- a nearly complete reversal of the dollar's onetime dominance for reserves, according to Barclays Capital. The dollar's share of new cash in the central banks was down to 37 percent -- compared with two-thirds a decade ago.

Currently, dollars account for about 62 percent of the currency reserve at central banks -- the lowest on record, said the International Monetary Fund.

Bernanke could go down in economic history as the man who killed the greenback on the operating table.

After printing up trillions of new dollars and new bonds to stimulate the US economy, the Federal Reserve chief is now boxed into a corner battling two separate monsters that could devour the economy -- ravenous inflation on one hand, and a perilous recession on the other.

"He's in a crisis worse than the meltdown ever was," said Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital. "I fear that he could be the Fed chairman who brought down the whole thing."

Investors and central banks are snubbing dollars because the greenback is kept too weak by zero interest rates and a flood of greenbacks in the global economy.

They grumble that they've loaned the US record amounts to cover its mounting debt, but are getting paid back by a currency that's worth 10 percent less in the past three months alone. In a decade, it's down nearly one-third.

Yesterday, the dollar had a mixed performance, falling slightly against the British pound to $1.5801 from $1.5846 Friday, but rising against the euro to $1.4779 from $1.4709 and against the yen to 89.85 yen from 89.78.

Economists believe the market rebellion against the dollar will spread until Bernanke starts raising interest rates from around zero to the high single digits, and pulls back the flood of currency spewed from US printing presses.

"That's a cure, but it's also going to stifle any US economic growth," said Schiff. "The economy is addicted to the cheap interest and liquidity."

Economists warn that a jump in rates will clobber stocks and cripple the already stalled housing market.

"Bernanke's other choice is to keep rates at zero, print even more money and sell more debt, but we'll see triple-digit inflation that could collapse the economy as we know it.

"The stimulus is what's toxic -- we're poisoning ourselves and the global economy with it."
