A VERY REMARKABLE SPEECH BY SIMON DENG, ONCE A SUDANESE SLAVE! WE TRUST THIS WILL GO AROUND THE WORLD!!

Sudan - a remarkable address to the recent "Durban Conference" in New York

“A REMARKABLE SPEECH. I HOPE IT WILL GO AROUND THE WORLD”

These are the words of Simon Deng, once a Sudanese slave. He is addressing the Durban Conference in NY.

I want to thank the organizers of this conference, The Perils of Global Intolerance. It is a great honour for me and it is a privilege really to be among today's distinguished speakers.

I came here as a friend of the State of Israel and the Jewish people. I came to protest this Durban conference which is based on a set of lies. It is organized by nations who are themselves are guilty of the worst kind of oppression.

It will not help the victims of racism. It will only isolate and target the Jewish state. It is a tool of the enemies of Israel.

The UN has itself become a tool against Israel. For over 50 years, 82 per cent of the UN General Assembly emergency meetings have been about condemning one state - Israel.  Hitler couldn't have been made happier!

The Durban Conference is an outrage. All decent people will know that.

But friends, I come here today with a radical idea. I come to tell you that there are peoples who suffer from the UN's anti-Israelism even more than the Israelis. I belong to one of those people.

Please hear me out.

By exaggerating Palestinian suffering, and by blaming the Jews for it, the UN has muffled the cries of those who suffer on a far larger  scale.

For over fifty years the indigenous black population of Sudan -- Christians and Muslims alike --- have been the victims of the brutal, racist Arab Muslim regimes in Khartoum.

In South Sudan, my homeland, about 4 million innocent men, women and children were slaughtered from 1955 to 2005.  Seven million were ethnically cleansed and they became the largest refugee group since World War II.

The UN is concerned about the so-called Palestinian refugees. They dedicated a separate agency for them, and they are treated with a special privilege.

Meanwhile, my people, ethnically cleansed, murdered and enslaved, are relatively ignored. The UN refuses to tell the world the truth about the real causes of Sudan's conflicts. Who knows really what is happening in Darfur? It is not a "tribal conflict."

It is a conflict rooted in Arab colonialism well known in north Africa.  In Darfur, a region in the Western Sudan, everybody is Muslim. Everybody is Muslim because the Arabs invaded the North of Africa and converted the indigenous people to Islam.  In the eyes of the Islamists in Khartoum, the Darfuris are not Muslim enough. And the Darfuris do not want to be Arabized.  They love their own African languages and dress and customs. The Arab response is genocide! But nobody at the UN tells the truth about Darfur.

In the Nuba Mountains, another region of Sudan, genocide is taking place as I speak. The Islamist regime in Khartoum is targeting the black Africans - Muslims and Christians. Nobody at the UN has told the truth about the Nuba Mountains.  Do you hear the UN condemn Arab racism against blacks?

What you find on the pages of the New York Times, or in the record of the UN condemnations is Israeli crimes and Palestinian suffering.

My people have been driven off the front pages because of the exaggerations about Palestinian suffering.  What Israel does is portrayed as a Western sin.  But the truth is that the real sin happens when the West abandons us: the victims of Arab/Islamic apartheid.

Chattel slavery was practised for centuries in Sudan. It was revived as a tool of war in the early 90s.  Khartoum declared jihad against my people and this legitimized taking slaves as war booty.  Arab militias were sent to destroy Southern villages and were encouraged to take African women and children as slaves.  We believe that up to 200,000 were kidnapped, brought to the North and sold into slavery.

I am a living proof of this crime against humanity!  I don't like talking about my experience as a slave, but I do it because it is important for the world to know that slavery exists even today.  I was only nine years old when an Arab neighbour named Abdullahi tricked me into following him to a boat.  The boat wound up in Northern Sudan where he gave me as a gift to his family.  For three and a half years I was their slave going through something that no child should ever go through: brutal beatings and humiliations; working around the clock; sleeping on the ground with animals; eating the family left-overs.  During those three years I was unable to say the word no.

All I could say was “yes,” “yes,” “yes.”

The United Nations knew about the enslavement of South Sudanese by the Arabs.  Their own staff reported it.  It took UNICEF – under pressure from the Jewish–led American Anti-Slavery Group -- sixteen years to acknowledge what was happening.  I want to publicly thank my friend Dr. Charles Jacobs for leading the anti-slavery fight.

But the Sudanese government and the Arab League pressured UNICEF, and UNICEF backtracked, and started to criticize those who worked to liberate Sudanese slaves.  In 1998, Dr. Gaspar Biro, the courageous UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Sudan who reported on slavery, resigned in protest of the UN's actions.

My friends, today, tens of thousands of black South Sudanese still serve their masters in the North and the UN is silent about that.  It would offend the OIC and the Arab League.

  

As a former slave and a victim of the worst sort of racism, allow me to explain why I think calling Israel a racist state is absolutely absurd and immoral.  I have been to Israel five times visiting the Sudanese refugees.  Let me tell you how they ended up there.  These are Sudanese who fled Arab racism, hoping to find shelter in Egypt.  They were wrong.  When Egyptian security forces slaughtered twenty six black refugees in Cairo who were protesting Egyptian racism, the Sudanese realized that the Arab racism is the same in Khartoum or Cairo.  They needed shelter and they found it in Israel.  Dodging the bullets of the Egyptian border patrols and walking for very long distances, the refugees' only hope was to reach Israel's side of the fence, where they knew they would be safe.

Black Muslims from Darfur chose Israel above all the other Arab-Muslim states of the area.  Do you know what this means!!!??  And the Arabs say Israel is racist!!!?

In Israel, black Sudanese, Christian and Muslim were welcomed and treated like human beings.  Just go and ask them, like I have done. They told me that compared to the situation in Egypt, Israel is "heaven."  Is Israel a racist state?  To my people, the people who know racism – the answer is absolutely not.  Israel is a state of people who are the colours of the rainbow.  Jews themselves come in all colours, even black.  I met with Ethiopian Jews in Israel.  Beautiful black Jews.

  

So, yes … I came here today to tell you that the people who suffer most from the UN anti-Israel policy are not the Israelis but all those people who the UN ignores in order to tell its big lie against Israel: we, the victims of Arab/Muslim abuse: women, ethnic minorities, religious minorities, homosexuals, in the Arab/Muslim world.  These are the biggest victims of UN Israel hatred.

Look at the situation of the Copts in Egypt, the Christians in Iraq, and Nigeria, and Iran, the Hindus and Bahais who suffer from Islamic oppression.  The Sikhs.  We -- a rainbow coalition of victims and targets of Jihadis -- all suffer.  We are ignored, we are abandoned.  So that the big lie against the Jews can go forward.

In 2005, I visited one of the refugee camps in South Sudan. I met a twelve year old girl who told me about her dream.  In a dream she wanted to go to school to become a doctor.  And then, she wanted to visit Israel.  I was shocked.  How could this refugee girl who spent most of her life in the North know about Israel?  When I asked why she wanted to visit Israel, she said: "This is our people."  I was never able to find an answer to my question.

On January 9 of 2011 South Sudan became an independent state.  For South Sudanese, that means continuation of oppression, brutalization, demonization, Islamization, Arabization and enslavement.

In a similar manner, the Arabs continue denying Jews their right for sovereignty in their homeland and the Durban III conference continues denying Israel legitimacy.

As a friend of Israel, I bring you the news that my President, the President of the Republic of South Sudan, Salva Kiir -- publicly stated that the South Sudan Embassy in Israel will be built --- not in Tel Aviv, but in Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the Jewish people.

I also want to assure you that my own new nation, and all of its peoples, will oppose racist forums like the Durban III.  We will oppose it by simply continuing to tell the truth! Our truth!

My Jewish friends taught me something that I now want to say with you.

AM YISROEL CHAI !

The people of Israel lives!

THE ADAPTABLE ISRAELI ARMED FORCES SHOW THEIR STRENGTH AND FORESIGHT YET AGAIN!!

Israel’s Armed Forces Shifting Emphasis From Mechanised Warfare Toward Air And Cyber Power

http://www.economist.com

---

Some 30,000 soldiers are slowly vacating their bases in Israel’s main city, Tel Aviv, and moving to the Negev desert. By the end of the decade, much of the country’s army will have migrated to four huge bases alongside Bedouin shanties.

Tel Aviv’s developers, relishing the prospect of building on vast tracts of the country’s most valuable land, talk of turning swords into timeshares. They plan an 80-storey tower for the Kirya, the old British base in the city centre, which for the past six decades has been the headquarters of the general staff. Large parts of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) expect to withdraw from coastal population centres. Overall, the men in uniform, who long dominated the state, are becoming more peripheral.

Israeli defence spending remains the world’s fifth highest per person and young Jews continue to do up to three years of military service. In the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, the army’s hold on the body politic can still be felt, but it is no longer as strong as it once was.

As Israel’s economy has boomed, military spending has fallen from 17.7% of GDP in 1991 to around 6% today. The Knesset sliced $1 billion off the most recent defence budget, the steepest cut in two decades. Led by a maverick hawk, Moshe Feiglin, politicians of all stripes are campaigning to professionalise what has long been a people’s army.

“The compulsory draft produces adverse results,” says Mr Feiglin. “The IDF relies on cheap manual labour instead of specialisation and technology and this harms the country’s defences.”

Although stopping short of ending the draft, the Knesset this month approved a military restructuring plan that prods the army towards professionalisation. It urges a shift away from manpower-intensive armoured divisions in favour of the air force, intelligence collection and cyber-warfare. Conscripts are encouraged to extend their three-year terms.

Plodding ground forces increasingly feel like a burden, lawmakers say. Out will go some 4,500 officers, an artillery brigade wielding howitzers and hundreds of ageing Merkava and M60 tanks, some as old as the Vietnam war. In will come the new training ground in the Negev desert.

It resembles a high-tech park, fit for an age when a technician in Tel Aviv can attack a target in Teheran. “The current and future battlefields are totally different from what we knew in the past,” writes Moshe Yaalon, the defence minister, fittingly, on his Facebook page.

One of the reasons behind Israel’s new order of battle is the Arab spring. The armies in the largest neighbouring countries no longer represent the conventional threat they once did. Egypt’s is too busy with domestic politics and Syria’s has ceased to exist as a coherent force. “We’re surrounded by failed states,” declares a minister. Syria and Iraq are “to a great extent” out of commission, an officer echoes. The gap in technical capabilities widens every year. Arab armies cannot keep up.

To be sure, Israel still has lots of mortal enemies. Hizbullah, the Lebanese party-cum-militia, controls tens of thousands of missiles. Extremist groups in Sinai, Gaza and Syria loathe the country and so does Iran, which sponsors some of them.

Yet, these outfits do not present traditional threats. Tanks are useless against Iran’s nuclear programme or a band of jihadists. Air force commanders praise rapid-reaction units that make use of fighter jets, drones, intelligence and cyber-warfare.

They stress that operations using such forces cause fewer casualties and thus reduce the risk that a conflict will escalate. A series of Israeli strikes in Syria and Sudan on missiles apparently bound for Hizbullah and Hamas have resulted in no tangible fallout so far. They have also spared Israel the international condemnation that ground invasions tend to ignite.

The IDF has already changed enormously in recent years. Its largest unit, 8200, is focused on cyber-warfare. The air force has taken over some tasks from ground forces. “In 2000 only 1% of Gaza’s terrorists were killed from the air. Today it’s 98%,” according to a senior air force commander. Last November’s offensive against Gaza militants was conducted almost entirely from the air, without the deployment of ground troops.

Israel still needs some boots on the ground, however. In a fight with Hizbullah, infantry would search southern Lebanon for hidden missiles aimed at Jewish population centres. Retired generals, having won their medals in epic ground battles, complain that the reduction in armoured brigades and a declining number of soldiers with combat experience has left Israel exposed. “It’s very risky,” says one. “Wars have a habit of popping up when you least expect them.”

But even they admit that Israel’s relations with its armed forces are changing. Military street parades belong to a bygone era. The chief of staff, Benny Gantz, consciously acts like a bureaucrat. “We no longer have charismatic military figures,” says Shlomo Swirsky, who runs Adva, an Israeli think-tank. “It’s not the vehicle for upward mobility it once was.” Today’s party leaders are more likely to be journalists than generals. A recent law bars retiring security officials from politics for three years.

Political priorities are changing. A new generation of politicians scrutinises the military budget more closely, forcing the army into ever new sleights of hand to keep generous pensions and vacation allowances. Voters too seem to want a more normal, less militarised state.

The number of days spent by ex-conscripts on reserve duty—once a mandatory month a year for all men under 40—has fallen from 10m days annually to 2.5m in a generation, despite a sharp population increase. Were it not for the labour-intensive occupation of the West Bank, the number would fall lower still. Should the negotiations with the Palestinians bear fruit, it might yet.

A LOVELY EMAIL FROM MY FRIEND PHILIP GLENWRIGHT, ONE OF MANY I HAVE RECEIVED RECENTLY. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT DURING THE RECENT DIFFICULTIES I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING.

Hi Brian

Just want to let you know that I am aware of your situation from David. Ray and I stayed behind at Prayer for Israel today (reason not disclosed to others who left) and prayed together for you and Gilly and the whole situation such as we are aware.

I hope that the following may also be of some encouragement :

"Who is among you that feareth the Lord...that walketh in darkness and hath
no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God."
Isaiah 50:10

"In fierce storms," said an old seaman, "we can do but one thing, there is
only one way: We must put the ship in a certain position and keep her there."
This, Christian, is what you must do. Sometimes, like Paul, you can see
neither sun nor stars, and no small tempest lies on you; and then you can do
but one thing; there is only one way. Reason cannot help you. Past
experiences give you no light.

Even prayer fetches no consolation. Only a single course is left: You must
put your soul in one position and keep it there. You must stay upon the Lord;
come what may--winds, waves, cross seas, thunder, lightning, frowning rocks,
roaring breakers--no matter what, you must lash yourself to the helm, and hold
fast your confidence in God's faithfulness, His covenant engagement, His
everlasting love in Christ Jesus.
                      ---Richard Fuller

We're alongside you in spirit Brother. Hold fast.

With Kind Regards
In Jesus

Philip
Harrogate.

                                                ***********************************************************

RESPONSE BY BRIAN AND GILLY:

 We are very grateful to so many of our brethren and  friends for encouragement and support over the last three months. It is our sole desire to glorify the Name of our God and King, the Lord Jesus Christ, and to teach God's Word as He gives us grace and light. We have no desire to create a name for ourselves, nor do we have ambition to create a ministry career or any kind of "following" through this Blog or any other means. Recently some of my Bible teaching has been taken out of context and extrapolated to infer beliefs which I do not hold. If you want to know what I am really teaching please don't take other folk's word but hear first hand from my DVDs etc or ask me directly.

Love In Jesus,

Brian and Gilly. 

NASA WARNS THAT THE WHOLE OF THE SUN'S MAGNETIC FIELD IS ABOUT TO "FLIP"!!!

Sun's magnetic field "is about to flip", warns NASA

The whole of the sun's magnetic field is about to "flip", according to NASA - with warning signs being spotted by observatories around the world this year.

The whole of the sun's magnetic field is about to "flip", according toNASA - with warning signs being spotted by observatories around the world this year.

This "flip" happens every 11 years, and coincides with the greatest solar activity in the "cycles" of the sun, known as "Solar Maximum" - with sunspots and "coronal mass ejections" on the surface of the sun.

"It looks like we're no more than 3 to 4 months away from a complete field reversal," says solar physicist Todd Hoeksema of Stanford University. "This change will have ripple effects throughout the solar system."

The effects are so powerful they will be felt beyond Pluto - and may affect phenomena such as cosmic rays, which some believe can alter the climate on Earth.

Scientists have recorded these "flips" for decades, but the process is still not fully understood. This particular "flip" has already puzzled scientists - with one magnetic pole of the sun appearing to flip "too early" last year.


                        [Related: First lab-grown burger "tastes like cake"]

"Right now, there's an imbalance between the north and the south poles," Jonathan Cirtain, a space scientist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center said last year. "The north is already in transition, well ahead of the south pole, and we don't understand why."

The flips, though, are regular. The sun's magnetic field changes polarity roughly every 11 years - caused by the magnetic dynamo inside the sun reorganising itself.

Magnetograms at Stanford's Wilcox Solar Observatory - one of the few observatories that track the sun's magnetic fields - have been tracking the sun's polar magnetism since 1976, and they have recorded three grand reversals, with a fourth in the offing.

Solar physicist Phil Scherrer, also at Stanford, describes what happens: "The sun's polar magnetic fields weaken, go to zero, and then emerge again with the opposite polarity. This is a regular part of the solar cycle."

The sun's magnetic influence (also known as the "heliosphere") extends billions of kilometers beyond Pluto - changes to the field's polarity ripple all the way out to NASA's Voyager probes, on the doorstep of interstellar space.

When solar physicists talk about solar field reversals, their conversation often centers on the "current sheet."

The current sheet is a sprawling surface jutting outward from the sun's equator where the sun's slowly-rotating magnetic field induces an electrical current.

During field reversals, the current sheet becomes very wavy - Scherrer likens the undulations to the seams on a baseball.  As Earth orbits the sun, we dip in and out of the current sheet. Transitions from one side to another can stir up stormy space weather around our planet.

Cosmic rays are also affected. These are high-energy particles accelerated to nearly light speed by supernova explosions and other violent events in the galaxy.

Cosmic rays are a danger to astronauts and space probes, and some researchers say they might affect the cloudiness and climate of Earth.

The current sheet acts as a barrier to cosmic rays, deflecting them as they attempt to penetrate the inner solar system. A wavy, crinkly sheet acts as a better shield against these energetic particles from deep space.

As the field reversal approaches, data from Wilcox show that the sun's two hemispheres are out of synch.

"The sun's north pole has already changed sign, while the south pole is racing to catch up," says Scherrer. "Soon, however, both poles will be reversed, and the second half of Solar Max will be underway."

CHILLING WARNING ABOUT INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES BY MICHAEL SNYDER FROM THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE WEBSITE!!!

Will rapidly rising interest rates rip through the U.S. financial system like a giant lawnmower blade?  Yes, the U.S. economy survived much higher interest rates in the past, but at that time there were not hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of interest rate derivatives hanging over our financial system like a Sword of Damocles.  

This is something that I have been talking about for quite some time, and now a Mexican billionaire has come forward with a similar warning.  Hugo Salinas Price was the founder of the Elektra retail chain down in Mexico, and he is extremely concerned that rising interest rates could burst the derivatives bubble and cause "massive bankruptcies around the globe".  

Of course there are a whole lot of people out there that would be quite glad to see the "too big to fail" banks go bankrupt, but the truth is that if they go down our entire economy will go down with them.  Our situation is similar to a patient with a very advanced stage of cancer.  You can try to kill the cancer with drugs, but you will almost certainly kill the patient at the same time.  Well, that is essentially what our relationship with the big banks is like.  Our entire economic system is based on credit, and just like we saw back in 2008, if the big banks start failing credit freezes up and suddenly nobody can get any money for anything.  When the next great credit crunch comes, every important number in our economy will rapidly start getting much worse.

MAHMOUD ABBAS CELEBRATES THE MURDERS OF JEWS ON FATAH'S FACEBOOK!!!!!

Abbas's Fatah Celebrates Murders of Jews on Facebook

An official Fatah Facebook page presents terror killings as heroic achievements, as “peace talks” continue.

President Shimon Peres meets PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas at the World Economic Forum in Jordan

Flash 90

Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) reported Tuesday on an official FatahFacebook page that is celebrating murderous terror attacks on Jews, in a list encompassing decades.

Fatah is headed by Mahmoud Abbas, who heads the Palestinian Authority with which Israel is currently conducting “peace talks.”

Among the celebrated attacks was the most lethal terror attack in Israel's history: a 1978 bus hijacking in which 37 civilians were murdered.

The page's administrator also praised the infamous "Munich Massacre" during the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, in which 11 Israeli athletes were murdered.
Fatah's Facebook page also celebrates a series of terror "firsts" achieved by Fatah: the first suicide bombing against Israel, the first suicide bombing by a woman against Israel, the first missile attack from Gaza against Israel, and others. The page glorifies an attack that it claims killed the "the most" Israelis in a single terror attack: a double suicide bombing in Tel Aviv's central bus station in 2003. Fatah boasted it "killed more than 30 and wounded more than 200" in that one attack.

Next to these texts is a map of "Palestine" that erases and replaces all of Israel.

This terror glorification was reposted by the Fatah page administrator soon after the Israeli – Palestinian peace talks were announced..

It is the latest in a string of anti-Israel incitement and glorification of terrorism by official PA organs, as the international community pushes for talks between Israel and the PA.
Two weeks ago, the same Fatah page celebrated arch-terrorist Abdallah Bargouti for his role in murdering 61 Israeli civilians. Only a few days later, The PA's official TV station re-broadcast an antisemitic music video which encouraged children to take up arms against Israel.
Israeli commentators have long pointed out that whilst the Israeli government is subject to widespread pressure to make concessions to encourage "good will," no such requirements are made of the Palestinian Authority.
Last month, following a wave of pressure against Israel, ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman claimed that much of the international community was giving the PA a "free pass," and called on the EU in particular to end its “long-standing habit of not holding the Palestinian Authority responsible for its actions and inactions that are unequivocally obstacles to peace."

"COMETS FOUND LURKING CLOSER TO EARTH THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT" BY THE EXTINCTION PROTOCOL!!

August 3, 2013 – SPACE - Colombian scientists have discovered what may be a graveyard of comets in a very strange spot — and now, some of the interred are coming back to life. These so-called “Lazarus” comets, described in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, may represent a long-lost population of the icy space travelers and may alter scientists’ understanding of their origins. These chunks of ice and rock, typically a few kilometers across, have long held human imaginations as “falling stars.” As a comet travels around the sun, the heat and light vaporize some of the water ice trapped inside, causing the signature tail of glowing gas and dust to form behind it. They’re thought to have started out near the fringes of the planetary system, with stretched, elliptical orbits that are so extreme that some of comets circle the sun only once in several thousand years. Others have quicker round-trips of a couple centuries or so; these so-called short-period comets are the source of such famous sightings as Halley’s Comet. But in recent years, astronomers started to pick up strange, comet-like bodies popping up where they hadn’t expected them — in the main belt, the wide ring of asteroids that sits between Mars and Jupiter. 

The surprising property of these objects is that their orbits are entirely asteroidal while their behavior is entirely cometary,” the researchers wrote. That’s surprising, because comets aren’t supposed to be there, right in the middle of the planetary lineup. The main belt is filled with rocky debris from several feet to hundreds of miles long. These asteroids could have been the building blocks of another planet, had Jupiter’s gravity not kept the fragments apart. What were comets, thought to originate on the fringes of our solar neighborhood, doing there? According to researchers from the University of Antioquia in Colombia, there may have been a sizable population of comets in the main belt in the past that had long since “died,” their icy reserves nearly expended by heat and light from the sun. Some of these comets, however, were merely dormant, the researchers found, and if their orbits were nudged just slightly closer to the sun’s warming rays, it could release ice trapped deep within the comets, bringing them back to life. “Thus, we propose that the asteroidal belt contains an enormous graveyard of ancient dormant and extinct rocky comets, that turn on [are rejuvenated], in response to a diminution of their perihelion distance, caused by planetary perturbations.” A dozen such Lazarus comets were picked up among the asteroids over the past decade, and it’s quite possible there are many more out there, the researchers said. –LA Times

  

Planetary Break-up: “In 1978, I proposed a new theory that comets originated in the energetic breakup of a body orbiting the Sun in or near the present location of the asteroid belt in the relatively recent past…if comets did originate in a break-up event in the inner solar system, then the original distances of closest approach to the Sun for their orbits must all have been less than or equal to the distance at which the break-up occurred…Astronomer Oort always maintained that an origin of comets from within the solar system, perhaps in connection with the event which gave rise to the asteroid belt, was the most probable.” – Dark Matter, Missing Planet, New Comets, Tom Van Flanderen, pp. 185-191, 1991

ARUTZ SHEVA ON "HAMAS CRACKING DOWN ON DISSIDENTS FEARING A GAZAN SPRING"!!!

Fearing Gazan Spring, Hamas Cracks Down on Dissidents

Ari Soffer

Gaza's Islamist rulers are nervous.

The fall of Mohammed Morsi - the Islamist president of Egypt and scion of Hamas's parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood - has left them isolated.

The current Egyptian government, led by military strongman General Abdel al-Sisi, is decidedly hostile to Hamas, which it accuses of aiding jihadists within Egypt in their efforts to destabilize the country following Morsi's ouster. Sisi's administration has sealed off smuggling tunnels between Gaza and the Sinai Peninsula, and Egyptian military forces claim to have killed dozens of Hamas fighters during recent operations there.

Today, in another move designed to isolate Gaza's Islamist rulers, Egyptian media reported that the government had cancelled a visit by Turkish President Recept Tayyip Erdogan - another Islamist ally of Hamas.

A message on social network Twitter by Ibrahim Kalın, chief advisor to Erdogan, said that the visit was canceled to the “prolonged crisis” in Egypt. However, sources in Egypt said that the reason Erdogan was not welcome was concern over his Islamist positions and his affinity for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Now, to make matters worse, Hamas may have an "uprising" of their own on their hands.

The "Tamarod" youth movement in Gaza has called for mass-demonstrations against Hamas on November 11th, on the anniversary of the death of PLO leader Yasser Arafat. "Tamarod" (or "Rebel") is the name of the popular anti-Islamist youth movement which led popular protests against Mohammed Morsi in the run up to his removal by the military.

Now, the Palestinian Authority branch of the movement is calling on PA Arabs to take to the streets en-mass and demand an end to Hamas rule.

According to the Palestine Press, Hamas authorities have already begun a crackdown on activists suspected of being involved in the movement.

Though an arch-terrorist in his own right, Arafat's legacy is one of secular Arab nationalism, as opposed to Hamas's fusion of Arab nationalism and Islamic extremism. The Fatah party which Arafat founded, and the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) and PA (Palestinian Authority) which it dominates are seen as not only a rival political force, but a rival political ideology.

However, the Tamarod group has made it clear that they are entirely independent of Fatah - despite claims by Hamas authorities that their secular rivals are behind the movement.

In 2006, following the deportation of the Jewish communities of Gush Katif, Hamas won the Palestinian Authority legislative elections in Gaza. Shortly afterwards, Hamas terrorists consolidated their power through a bloody purge of all remaining vestiges of Fatah/PLO power.

At the time, most Gazan Arabs appeared to support Hamas, having tired of decades of PA corruption and human rights abuses. But since taking control (and not holding any further elections to gauge the legitimacy of their rule), Hamas has become increasingly unpopular for a variety of reasons, including the imposition of Islamic law on many aspects of Gazan life, corruption, and their own long list of human rights abuses against political opponents.

Whether the protest movement will materialize or not remains to be seen. The "Tamarod Palestine" Facebook page has nearly 21,000 likes, but the long period of notice it has given to the Hamas authorities may work against it, granting them time to round up leaders and disrupt its activities. Furthermore, it is unclear how much support it has on the ground, as opposed to cyberspace.

Either way, Hamas appears nervous.

Last week, it shut down two major Arabic media channels - Al Arabiya and Ma'an - for "distributing false news" and undermining the Hamas authorities. This latest crackdown may indicate that the Islamist group, which only a few months ago was reveling in support from its Egyptian allies, is feeling increasingly insecure.

Officials of the Islamic regime last month held their annual conference on the Mahdism Doctrine to prepare for the coming of the last Islamic messiah, the Shiites’ 12th Imam, Mahdi.

Shiites, whose clerics rule Iran with an iron fist, believe that at the end of times, Mahdi, a 9th century prophet, will reappear with Jesus Christ at his side, kill all the infidels and raise the flag of Islam in all four corners of the world, establishing worldwide Islamic governance.

Ali Larijani, the speaker of Iran’s parliament, said at the conference that, “I hope (Iran’s) Islamic Revolution is that of the righteous government before the coming,” according to Fars News Agency, the regime’s media outlet run by the Revolutionary Guards.

“Righteous government” is a key to Mahdi’s return, the Shiites believe.

“It has been stated in the Islamic hadith that a wave of uprisings (such as the current upheavals in the Arab world) … takes place before the main uprising and that the righteous government (takes place) before the coming, which I hope (Iran’s) Islamic Revolution is that.”

The speaker said that metaphysics and modern technology have diminished human spiritualism, causing a sense of nervousness in which people have lost hope, and that this effect will reach its maximum before the coming.

“All mental crises are rooted in hopelessness and despair in life,” Larijani said, “and from a society point of view, this is because the big powers of the world are pushing for a culture that has no identity and with their power give their illicit desires a legal aspect. With the help of their media, they explain away the biggest corruption.”

Many regime officials participated in this year’s conference, including military commanders, and several guests spoke of the importance of the Shiite ideology on Mahdi’s coming and the need for jihad for the final battle. The Mahdaviat conference is convened annually to prepare for the coming.

A high Iranian politician said recently that he believes the Syrian revolution could be the catalyst for sparking a worldwide conflagration that will usher in an era of Muslim domination of the world.

“One can smell from the crisis in Syria the coming … of the end of times and the coming of the last Islamic messiah,” said Ruhollah Hosseinian, a member of the Islamic regime’s parliament. Hosseinian has served as deputy of the Intelligence Ministry and a member of the board of trustees of the Islamic Revolution Document Center.

Based on hadiths by Muhammad and his descendants, the Syrian revolution is a start to the coming of Mahdi, Hosseinian said in a speech quoted by Fars News Agency.

Hadiths from Ali, the Shiites’ 1st Imam, also state that a sign of the coming will be the fall of the walls of Damascus.

Hosseinian told the audience that they should prepare themselves for war.

“The coming of his highness is assured … the prophet has promised that people from the east, which according to the hadith means Iran, take power and prepare for the government of Imam Mahdi.”

Despite the Islamic regime being under crippling U.N., U.S. and EU sanctions, it has refused to stop its illicit nuclear program. Over a decade of negotiations with talks as recent as April with the 5+1 world powers have failed. The West hopes that it could restart negotiations once Iran’s new president, Hassan Rowhani, takes office in August.

However, a former intelligence officer now defected to a Scandinavian country said the West must understand that even the election of Rowhani was by design by the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, only to buy time so that the regime could reach its goal of becoming a nuclear-armed state. Some analysts believe that Iran’s drive for nuclear weapons is to facilitate the coming.

Any new negotiations must be prompt and serious, making the Islamic regime understand that there will be no wasting time, said the source, adding that the world’s balance relies on how the West handles the regime’s nuclear ambitions.

Iranian media said Rowhani would nominate Mohammad Forouzandeh, a former chief of staff of the Revolutionary Guard and a former defense minister, to head Iran’s nuclear negotiating team.

THE HAGMANN AND HAGMANN REPORT ON "MANY PEOPLE WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT HIT THEM!"

Many people will never know what hit them!

By Douglas J. Hagmann

27 July 2013: On Tuesday, May 14, 2013, the financial insider known as “The Guerrilla Economist™” and by his first initial “V,” appeared with author and researcher Steve Quayle on The Hagmann & Hagmann Report and made an unexpected and extremely troubling claim. He stated unequivocally that Deutsche Bank was not only in trouble, but was going to go “belly up.” (For the link to May 14, 2013 broadcast in mp3 format, click here).

The following day, his claims were the subject of an article written by Kenneth Schortgen, Jr. on the widely popular Examiner website under the title Banking insider: Deutsche Bank in danger zone and will go belly up (link to Examiner article here). The Examiner article quoted “The Guerrilla Economist™” as follows:

“Deutsche Bank. Big bank. Biggest bank in Germany, and one of the biggest banks in the Euro Zone… they’re going to go belly up. Watch it. Watch it, I said it, it’s going to happen.

They are in such a danger zone, they don’t know what to do. Deutsche Bank’s derivative debt is greater than the global economy. That is one bank. $72 trillion in derivative exposure. The entire global economy, all the countries in the world is only $66 trillion GDP.”

Following that show, we received hundreds of e-mails from people who mocked and laughed at the claim, asserting that Deutsche Bank is not in trouble and will never fail. Last Wednesday, two months after that May 14, 2013 revelation on The Hagmann & Hagmann Report, well known economist Max Keiser tweeted the following:

“My Geneva fund contact: Deutsche Bank is officially on suicide watch. DB will be the next ‘Lehman’ moment that triggers new collapse..”

Jim Willie CB, financial & economic analyst holding a Statistics PhD from Carnegie Mellon University and having 23 years of  experience in three fields of statistical practice, recently published the following:

“The best information coming to my desk indicates that three major Western banks are under constant threat of failure overnight, every night, forcing extraordinary measures to avoid failure. They are Deutshe Bank in Germany, Barclays in London, and Citibank in New York. Judging from the ongoing defense from prosecution and cooperation (flipped) with Interpol and distraction of resources, the most likely bank to die next is Deutsche Bank.” (Emphasis mine – read the entire article at this link).

Aside from pointing out the two-month advance warning to by The Guerrilla Economist to listeners of The Hagmann & Hagmann Report, it is important to note the significance of this news now gaining traction.

Considering that the results of a recent poll published in The New York Times on Friday, July 26, 2013 indicates that consumer confidence in America is at its highest level since 2007, I suspect that most people will never know what hit them when the entire global financial system is collapsed. Most people are blissfully ignorant of the cold, hard facts that the globalists are enslaving us and our offspring into a perpetual state of debt via the criminal “banksters.”

Citing Jim Willie from his previously referenced article, his statement is a sufficient summary of what is to come:

“The tragedy is that many people will lose life savings, duped to the end, demonstrating limited mental acuity.”

The orchestrated collapse of the American economy, the global economy, is a “mathematical certainty.”
