Arab leaders are preparing to meet in Libya this weekend for the annual Arab League summit. “The ongoing tensions in Jerusalem and the Palestinian-Israeli crisis will be at the top of the agenda of the summit. 27 items in total are reported to be on the agenda to be discussed by the Arab leaders. The Palestinians are seeking a strong Arab stance in the face of Israel’s plans to expand Jewish housing in east Jerusalem.”
The Saudis have just announced the capture of 113 Al Qaeda terrorists, about half of them Saudis and half from other Islamic countries, who’d planned attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities. As with all the other announced captures of Al Qaeda terrorists, usually from other countries, no actual names are ever given and there are no follow-ups on what happens to these supposed terrorists or any proof given that they ever actually existed.
These announcements always seem to come when Saudi Arabia, the worst terrorist-exporting nation on Earth, wants to appear Strong For America, and especially at a time when an Arab push is on against Israel.
Almost simultaneously, Osama Bin Laden, Saudi Arabian terrorist, has announced that If America executes Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other people allegedly involved in the 9/11 attacks, that Al Qaeda will execute every American they can capture.
All this right after Barack Hussein Obama blows his stack at Israels Netanyahu, demands that Netanyahu destroy himself and his government by halting Jewish housing construction in what is a Jewish state, then gets Netanyahu to come to him for talks.
The talks turned out to be an orchestrated series of insults that started out with NO bow for Netanyahu (though he bows to everyone else), no usual photo-op “pictures with the president”, repeated obstinate demands by Obama and then Obama went off to dinner, leaving Netanyahu in the White House to fend for himself, with the admonition “Let me know if there’s anything new”, meaning of course if Netanyahu decides to knuckle under.
At that point Prime Minister Netanyahu and his party opted to leave for the Israeli Embassy rather than endure any further embarassing treatment. As Nile Gardiner of the UK “Telegraph” reports it: “I wrote recently about Barack Obama’s sneering contempt for both Israel and Great Britain. Further confirmation of this was provided today with new details emerging regarding the President’s appalling reception for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.” “Benjamin Netanyahu was left to stew in a White House meeting room for over an hour after President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of tense talks to have supper with his family, it emerged on Thursday. The snub marked a fresh low in US-Israeli relations and appeared designed to show Mr Netanyahu how low his stock had fallen in Washington after he refused to back down in a row over Jewish construction in east Jerusalem.”
Construction of Jewish housing in any part of Jerusalem is a non-issue. It’s been going on for 42 years now non-stop as the Jewish population expands, and the Israelis have been adamant that ALL Jerusalem is their capital, that they will not ever divide the city and give half away for a Palestinian state capital. This, of course, is what the Palestinians demand before agreeing to any peace with Israel and it’s what Obama is demanding.
Israels “Haaretz” reports: “As far as President Barack Obama and his senior advisers are concerned, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to blame for nothing less than damaging the standing of the U.S. in the Middle East and the Muslim world.”
In other words, Obama is clearly siding with the Arab Muslims and against the Jews, so now the Muslims are gathering their forces while the Jews are trying to fend off Obama’s attacks with diplomacy that’s being met with insults and more attacks.
This is getting very ugly and unless wiser heads can prevail to change Obama’s course, Obama will succeed in completely alienating our two governments from each other. Hillary Clinton’s repeated exhortations that the US will always remain 100% committed to Israels defense are less than reassuring. Even the blatantly Leftard Huffington Post, referring to her attacks on Israel, asks if this is part of a staged effort to push Israel away. “It also struck me initially as downright weird, and given deeper thought, as potentially ominous.”
It continues: “In the name of diplomatic protocol, Clinton berated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for 45 minutes. Apparently, her words suggested that this announcement of apartment building construction in Israel’s capital city threatens the U.S.-Israel relationship, because she not only called it “insulting” to the U.S., she used the opportunity to question Israel’s commitment to its relationship with America.”
The UN Security Council, now made up almost entirely of Muslims, grabbed at this opportunity to make propaganda announcements that Israels construction plans in East Jerusalem are “unacceptable” and that Israel must pay Palestinians in the Gaza Strip reparations for damages suffered when Israel retaliated for the thousands of rockets that the Palestinians kept shooting at them.
When our president takes a stand alongside the terrorist enemies of an ally, I start getting damned worried. Obama and his stooge Hillary are setting a horrible example for our few remaining allies, for one, and probably more importantly, they’re instilling confidence in Israels enemies for another concerted assault against them.
Iran is on the brink of having atomic bombs and Obama has done literally nothing to prevent this. With Iran about to drop it on Israel, the Jews will have no choice except to attack Iran and I know that Obama will denounce Israel and blame them for the inevitable increase in the price of oil, rather than say a single thing to back Israel up. That this will prove Hillary’s word to be lies will be of small consolation to Israel, especially if the Islamists that surround Israel choose this opportunity to attack because Obama’s made a deal to limit any defense of Israel to attacking Saudi Arabia’s enemy, Iran. This would be logical. And while we’re attacking Iran, Obama can blame Israel for getting us into this mess and look like he’s being Israels savior instead of the architect of their destruction.
Obama is not walking the middle road. He’s siding with the Islamists over the Jews, to the great peril of all of us. This is a man who revels in power and it looks very much to me that he’s been making deals with the Saudis to further his ambitions. This is a true case of making a pact with the Devil, as the Saudi monarchs are evil to the core and see all who make bargains with them as being their slaves.
“I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave.”

Confessions of a Visionary
Saturday, March 6th, 2010I was born into the Age of Miracles. Our technology is miraculous. Our planet is experiencing miraculous changes, though some might call them disastrous instead. My existence itself is a miracle as I nearly died in infancy from unknown causes that turned me blue and unbreathing. Somehow, though, I survived and grew, and began to have visions, of the future. I kept my visions to myself and waited them out as one by one, they have all come true.
When I was eight years old, I was transported, so to speak, from my home to a US Navy ship. It was no longer day, but night time, and I was standing facing a steel, grey-painted wall with a pattern of large rivets upon it, and I could smell a strong burnt oil smell. Then I was back home again and it was day. I knew then that someday I’d be in the Navy and that was the ship I was to be on.
Years later, I’d long forgotten that episode, and had joined the Navy. After Naval school and all that, I was assigned to a ship in drydock in Philadelphia and went aboard at night. While the duty officer went below to locate my bunk, I stood there in the dark, staring at a grey painted steel wall with a rivet pattern, and smelling a burnt oil smell.
Suddenly I was eight years old and home and it was day. Then suddenly I was back on that ship again. I’d flashed back to that vision.
That was just for example. Perhaps a better one for my purpose in writing this is another that I had, 2 years after being discharged from the Navy. I woke one morning with the feeling that something was wrong. The next morning, too, and succeeding mornings thereafter for nearly three months. By that time the sense of something wrong had grown into a powerful awareness of impending doom. I didn’t know yet just why my life was in danger, but I knew it was and I bought a 4-wheel drive jeep and started stocking it with spare parts and survival supplies.
Then one morning as I slept, I saw myself on another similar destroyer to the one I’d served on. I was on the starboard side looking out over the water and I could see jungly land about 8 miles off. Suddenly there was a bright white flash and I was dead.
Then I started talking in my sleep and said that at 11:30 that next Wednesday morning the postman was coming with my orders for re-induction to military service. I was still in the inactive Navy reserves as part of my enlistment. I woke up hearing those words ringing in my mind, and repeated them again aloud.
Next Wednesday morning at 11:30 there was the postman with those orders from the Navy. I refused to accept delivery, told everyone I was going to Alaska, and then drove to Ohio. I got a job getting paid under the table and waited out my final months of inactive reserve time before going back home, where I was told that men in suits had canvassed the neighborhood looking for me. I hope they had a nice time in Alaska.
Some of my visions were pretty inconsequential, and some have saved my life. I’ve had more visions of the future than I can recall, over the years, and every one has happened. Except one. There is one vision that still has not come about, but I feel it getting near.
This one came when I was seven years old. I remember the moment clearly to this day. I was standing in front of our home, facing it. A friend had just left, I could see him walking away. Then it came to me. I would see the end of the world as we know it.
I didn’t know exactly what that meant then and I don’t know now. All I know for sure is that for all the changes that have come around in the 64 years since I had that vision, none of them yet are what the vision referred to. I know that I’ll live to see it, and at the age of 71 now, I guess it can’t be too far off. Especially since that “impending doom” feeling that I had before is starting to slowly grow again. This time though, while I think it means the end of my existence, it doesn’t worry me.
In the first place, there’s no place to go. There may be safe havens here and there but I don’t know where they are, and the world’s end may not be some sort of climactic disaster anyway. I don’t know. I think I will know before it happens as I’ve always felt too that I would know when my time had come. So why am I giving you this wonderful opportunity to call me a nut case instead of keeping this to myself? Because at my age, why should I care what your opinion is of me, for one, and for two, I think it’s time to say it and be done with it.
If there’s any real message in this or point to this, it would have to be: Get right with yourself now. Get right with those you love. Time really is running out and getting right can be a slow process. So if you care, better get started if you want to get the job done in time.
