If someone had the impression that the visit of Secretary of State John Kerry to the town of Sochi, followed by negotiations with Victoria Nuland, his deputy in Moscow, could be regarded as first steps in the direction of normalization of US-Russian relations, they would be deeply mistaken. In short, Washington, particularly the Obama administration, is trying to solve its problems at the expense or rather with the help of Russia, to ensure the victory of Hillary Clinton in the upcoming elections. However, the United States continues to apply pressure on Russia, using a variety of different strategies.

Special attention is now paid to Syria and the weakened regime of Bashar al-Assad in the face of a new armed assault against Damascus. The attempts to trade the support of Syria for a number of concessions on Ukraine and Crimea allegedly made by John Kerry failed. Then Americans attempted blackmail, which is the strategy of choice for Washington in the countries that resist its dictate. On May 19 the Russian embassy in Syria was shelled by militants, presumably Jaysh al-Islam, which resulted in one of the shells exploding in the main building of the diplomatic mission. Fortunately, there was nobody there in the room destroyed by the explosion. Immediately after the attack the State Department swiftly condemned this act of terrorism. But we all are well aware of the fact that the “southern front” operating in the suburbs of the Syrian capital is controlled by Jordan with a certain amount of US assistance, unlike the “northern front” guided by Turkey and Saudi Arabia. The shelling of the Russian embassy – is clearly a signal to Russia that it should abandon its support of the Syrian regime.

Russian Embassy Attack: Terrorism Or Act of War?
First appeared: http://journal-neo.org/2015/05/21/russian-embassy-attack-terrorism-or-act-of-war/

 

On Tuesday, May 19th the Russian consulate in Damascus suffered another attack by NATO proxy forces trying to overthrow the government of Syria. The Russian Foreign Ministry responded with a statement condemning the attack as an act of “terrorism” and asked the “international community” to respond to the attack and urged “all parties enjoying influence on extremists in Syria to demand they immediately stop such actions.”

But was this an act of terrorism or an act of war? Let’s examine what an act of terrorism is. It is an attack on civilians by individuals or small groups with the objective of creating terror in the population in order to achieve political purposes. An attack on a military post or an attack on a military unit are not acts of terrorism, but are acts of war. The shelling of a foreign embassy by organised armed units engaged in a war is not an act of terrorism either. It is an attack on the foreign state itself and therefore is an act of war and meant as such.

And who is this mysterious “international community” they refer to? Well, everyone who is not blind, deaf and dumb knows it is the United States of America and its lieutenants in crime who are engaged in the war against Syria; Britain, France, Canada, Jordan, Turkey, Israel and Saudi Arabia. It is not a matter of these countries “enjoying influence” as the Foreign Ministry stated but a matter of their direct support and control of the forces that attacked the consulate.

Islamic State releases media from Palmyra

Video released by ‘Amaq News from Tadmur

In the wake of the capture of the city of Palmyra (known in Arabic as Tadmur), the Islamic State has begun releasing media from the region, including photos of executions in the city and two videos from the area.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), the Islamic State has executed “no less than 17 people in Tadmur city.” Those executed, according to the SOHR, included National Defense Force personnel, Syrian Army soldiers, and locals whom the Islamic State accused of working with the regime. Photos have emerged that seem to confirm this reporting, though the images have not been released from official Islamic State channels and cannot be independently verified. The photos show roughly seven beheaded bodies laying in a street in the city and are too graphic to publish.
The Islamic State has also released two videos from the area through its unofficial news agency, ‘Amaq News. The first video shows several Islamic State fighters clearing buildings that were used by Syrian soldiers. The jihadists also showcase captured weapons and desecrate pictures of Hafiz and Bashar al Assad.

May 17 - U.S. Congress To Set Stage for World War 3

Image via Wikipediahttp://slumz.boxden.com/f5/may-17-u-s-congress-set-vote-legislation-authorizes-official-start-world-war-3-a-1546519

We generally do not post on anything political but wanted to share this so that our readers could spread the word. So please read this and share so that we can stop this from being passed. I highly doubt we will be able to stop this from passing but it’s worth a try

The United States Congress is set to vote on legislation that authorizes the official start of World War 3.

The legislation authorizes the President of the United States to take unilateral military action against all nations, organizations, and persons, both domestically and abroad, who are alleged to be currently or who have in the past supported or engaged in hostilities or who have provided aid in support of hostilities against the United States or any of its coalition allies.

The legislation removes the requirement of congressional approval for the use of military force and instead gives the President totalitarian dictatorial authority to engage in any and all military actions for an indefinite period of time.

It even gives the President the authority to launch attacks against American Citizens inside the United States with no congressional oversight whatsoever.

Just to recap, because that was a mouthful:

* Endless War – The war will continue until all hostilities are terminated, which will never happen.
* No Borders – The president will have the full authority to launch military strikes against any country, organization or person, including against U.S citizens on U.S soil.
* Unilateral Military Action – Full authority to invade any nation at any time with no congressional approval required.
* No Clearly Defined Enemy – The US can declare or allege anyone a terrorist or allege they are or have been supporting “hostilities” against the US and attack at will.
* Authorization To Invade Several Countries – The president would have full authority to invade Iran, Syria, North Korea, along with several other nations in Africa and the Middle East and even Russia and China under the legislation all of which are “know” to have supported and aided hostilities against the United States.

I know the sound on this video is way overbearing. But I'm still trying to find more on here as well. Come back to see more.

Resolution expands basis for war on terror

 http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/may/11/measure-extends-war-authority/

By Eli Lake

-

The Washington Times

Less than two weeks after U.S. special operations commandos killed Osama bin Laden, a resolution viewed as an expansion of the legal basis for the global war on terror is moving through Congress.
The House Armed Services Committee added language to the fiscal 2012 Defense Authorization bill on Wednesday that would define the current war on al Qaeda to include the Taliban and affiliated armed groups, affirming the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia’s interpretation of the 2001 war resolution.
The committee began marking up the bill on Wednesday. It sets out the guidance for the U.S. defense budget.
The provision, known as the Authorization for the Use of Military Force, is key legislation used by lawyers for both President George W. Bush and President Obama as a legal basis for detaining terrorists without trial who are captured around the world. The legislation also was used to authorize U.S. drone strikes and special operations forces raids in countries where the United States is not formally at war.
Civil liberties groups have expressed worries that the new legislation, sponsored by Rep. Howard P. “Buck” McKeon, California Republican and committee chairman, significantly expands the scope of the global war on terror.
The McKeon resolution would replace legislation passed by Congress on Sept. 14, 2001 that authorized war on the people and groups that planned and carried out the Sept. 11 attacks.
The new authorization is broader. It states that “the president has the authority to use all necessary and appropriate force during the current armed conflict with al Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces pursuant to the authorization for use of military force.”

China preparing for armed conflict ;in every direction; - Telegraph

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/8229789/China-preparing-for-armed-conflict-in-every-direction.html

China is preparing for conflict 'in every direction', the defence minister said on Wednesday in remarks that threaten to overshadow a visit to Beijing by his US counterpart next month.

"In the coming five years, our military will push forward preparations for military conflict in every strategic direction," said Liang Guanglie in an interview published by several state-backed newspapers in China. "We may be living in peaceful times, but we can never forget war, never send the horses south or put the bayonets and guns away," Mr Liang added.

China repeatedly says it is planning a "peaceful rise" but the recent pace and scale of its military modernisation has alarmed many of its neighbours in the Asia-Pacific, including Japan which described China's military build-up as a "global concern" this month.

Ezekiel 38 - 39 The Gog Magog War

Image via Wikipedia

As each day that passes in new articles and media, we tend to see many becoming very hateful towards Israel. Just like they were so much against the Jewish in Hitlers time. As this hatred continues and wars, rockets, bombs and suicidal tendency bombers, who don't deserve to be called Martyrs are growing at a very rapid rate.
Countries of all sides of Israel are looking for war with Israel. For those that don't know any better. ALL this was predicted over 2500 years ago.

In a time no other than when the Jewish come back home to the land of Israel, all this brings a time of war that people seem to be ignoring today. Maybe it's the scales over their eyes. Maybe God has already put the hooks into their jaws preparing for the Day of the Lord, or maybe. People just won't take the time to read.
Watch these and know what is to come. This could very well be in our very lifetime.

clipped from www.youtube.com http://www.BeginLiving.com - The prophecies in Ezekiel 38 & 39 were written over 2,500 years ago. They detail an attempted surprise attack on the nation of Israel. As if torn from today's headlines, these passages detail who is involved, what they will do, why they will do it and how they will be defeated. See also Ezekiel 39: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1vICE... More info: http://www.prophecytube.com/articles/...

John 3:16 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18 "and he gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man." John 5:27 "I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12 "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins." John 8:23,24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death." John 8:51 "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

Report: No missile system to Iran

Image via Wikipedia

Finally it looks like someone is making a very smart move here. Though somehow I really don't think it's going to change Iran's motives to start the most bloodiest war in history and the Koran commands them to do.
This does however leave out one more weapon from their arsenals when they do begin to attack.
For those that really don't think Iran is a threat to anyone. Be sure to check out your history books again. All about the Babylonian and Persian Empires.
The motive haven't changed even in 2010.

clipped from www.jpost.com Israel reacted positively on Tuesday to Moscow’s announcement that it will not deliver S-300 surface-to-air missile defense systems to Iran. Russia’s Interfax news agency quoted a top military official as saying the United Nation’s latest Iran sanctions, which Moscow had backed, ruled out the delivery of missile systems. Russian military official Alexander Fomin on Tuesday did not refer to the S-300s by name, but pledged Moscow would desist from supplying “large missile systems,” One of the most advanced multi-target anti-aircraftmissile systems in the world, the S-300 has a reported ability to track up to 100 targets simultaneously while engaging up to 12 at the same time. Other officials are less concerned by the system and claim that if and when the S-300 is delivered to Iran, Israel will be able to develop an electronic warfare system to neutralize it.

Yemen declares end to war with Houthis

clipped from www.alalam.ir Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh said in an interview to be aired Friday that six years of war with Houthi fighters that drove 250,000 people from their homes in the northern mountains are now over. "We can say the war is over," Saleh told Al-Arabiya in the interview, referring to the war in the north that has raged on and off since 2004. An Saleh said that the successful implementation of a February 12 ceasefire with the fighters was a "sign that the war has ended and that this is not just a passing truce." He also added that there were positive signs of the fighters'' commitment to ending the war such as removing landmines, opening roads, removing roadblocks and releasing prisoners. Yemen had said on Thursday it would free Shi'ite fighters prisoners within days under the truce deal, a day after the fighters released at least 170 government soldiers and tribesmen who fought alongside the state. The president also vowed to stand down in 2013 as the constitution requires

Iran Plans to Execute 6 Arrested in Protests

clipped from www.nytimes.com Six people arrested in December protests will be put to death, Iranian authorities announced Monday, in what appeared to be strong warning to the opposition ahead of a traditional annual celebration. The tradition, the Feast of Fire, goes back thousands of years to Zoroastrian times and has been banned in Iran in recent decades because of its non-Islamic roots. The opposition had called for its celebration this year as a sign of protest. The six people whose sentences were announced Monday were among nine convicted of waging war against God by demonstrating during the commemoration. The death sentence for one was confirmed last month, and he was identified weeks later as a student, Mohammad-Amin Valian, 20. The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, a New York group, warned this month that he was “in danger of imminent execution.”

Syria: Next War with Israel Will Be Ruinous

Image via Wikipedia

clipped from bible-prophecy-today.blogspot.com In yesterday's commentary, I wrote of reports that Lebanon was blasting large areas of rock near the Lebanese-Syrian border to build a staging area for the deployment of Syrian tanks, presumably in preparation of Syria getting involved in what we can be sure is on the horizon, another military conflict between Israel and her enemies. Today's headline in The Jerusalem Post, perhaps by the design of its staff, seems to make reference to Isaiah 17. It reads "Syria warns: Next war will be ruinous". Ruinous? Isaiah 17:1: The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. Syria's foreign minister warned Israel earlier this month that any new war would reach Israeli cities, to which Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman responded that the Syrian army would be defeated and its regime would collapse in any future conflict. Today Damascus is here, but tomorrow? Who knows? Things are that tense.

International Telcommunications Union secretary general Hamadoun Toure gave his warning at a World Economic Forum debate where experts said nations must now consider when a cyber attack becomes a declaration of war.
