The Jewish world is looking for the Moschiach this year. The Muslim world is expecting their Mahdi this year. The war drums are beating in Iran. The terrorist threat is looming. The Avian Flu is rearing it’s head. Hurricanes and typhoons are hitting and killing thousands. Solar flares from the sun are appearing like never before. It’s just another year right?

Extraordinary Solar and Lunar Eclipses during Islam Holy Month Signals Total World War As Muslim Faithful Await the Mahdi and United States Prepares for Final Battle for Survival
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Russian Subscribers
As the Western World reels from the continued financial impact from the seemingly never ending storms hitting the Americas, Europe and Asia, and likewise are preparing for the total collapse of the entire world’s economic system due to the raging Bird Flu Pandemic, the most momentous event of this new century is occurring right over their heads, yet the vast majority of these Westerners do not even know what they are seeing….this is not true however for the over 1 billion Muslim faithful, and who with this months Solar and Lunar Eclipses during their Holiest Month of Ramadan are awaiting the Rising of the Great Mahdi.
On October 3ed the Sun was eclipsed by the Moon, On October 17th the Earth will come between the Sun and the Moon creating a Lunar eclipse, and to which the faithful of Islam state:
"The solar and lunar eclipses occurring during Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Sahib’s lifetime were great heavenly signs, prophesied in the history of Islam and other religions. Both, the lunar and solar eclipses, occurred in the holy Islamic month of Ramazan (that fell in the months of March and April in the year 1894 A.D.). The lunar eclipse occurred on the 13th of Ramazan (or 20th March 1894) and the solar eclipse occurred on the 28th of Ramazan (or 6th April 1894). This was a unique phenomenon, because never before, in the history of the universe, had both eclipses fallen within the same lunar month. After occurring in the East, the same phenomenon occurred in the West, in the month of Ramazan falling in the year 1895 A.D.
This sign of the Double Occultation of the sun and the moon can be traced as far back as the Old Testament. Speaking of the "Second Coming of the Lord", it says, "the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine" (Isaiah, 13:10). Similarly we read: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven." (St. Matthew, 24:39)."
Astronomers turned every leaf of their dusty record in vain, for not a single similar instance they could find ever since this world came into existence.”
Though the term Mahdi is practically unknown to the Western people, its significance to the World’s Muslims can not be underestimated, as once again the Religion of Islam finds itself under unrelenting attacks by the Axis Powers of the West, and in a war that they believe, should they lose, will annihilate them from the face of the earth. And though the various sects of Islam diverge as to the meaning of the Mahdi, their belief in a Military Savior arising to battle their enemies is currently consuming their very souls.
“The Arabic term "Mahdi" is best translated with "divinely guided one". The main principle of the Mahdi is that he is a figure that is absolutely guided by God. This guidance is stronger form of guidance than normal guidance, which usually involves a human being willfully acting according to the guidance of God. The Mahdi on the other hand, has nothing of this human element, and his acts will be in complete accordance to God's will.
The figure of Mahdi, and his mission, is not mentioned in the Koran, and there are practically nothing to be found among the reliable hadiths on him either. The idea of the mahdi appears to be a development in the first 2-3 centuries of Islam. In the case of the Shi'i Mahdi many scholars have suggested that there is a clear inspiration coming from the Messiah-figure of Christianity and its ideas of a judgement day in the hands of a religious renewer.
While there are many similarities between the Mahdi and Messias, there are also many variations over the Mahdi theme, which have differed from time to time and from region to region. "Mahdi" has been frequently used for military leaders, both when defining a future leader who would come and free suppressed Muslims, as well as leaders that appeared in flesh and blood.”
Not since the times of the Crusades have the Muslim Nations faced the threat of total annihilation, and against an enemy who has devoted itself to ‘decades of war’, and as we can read as reported by the BBC News Service in their article tilted “Cheney warns of 'decades of war' and which says, "US Vice-President Dick Cheney has said that the US must be prepared to fight the war on terror for decades. Addressing US military personnel, he said that the only way terrorists would win was if the US lost its nerve and abandoned Iraq and the Middle East."
One can only speculate how the mothers and fathers of the United States must feel in the hearing of these words by their Military Leaders not content to sacrifice just their sons and daughters, but also their grandsons, granddaughters…even to their great granddaughters and sons.
But as each successive generation of their war dead return to their bloodied shores these Western people are not even allowed to seek comfort in their Christian Religion as the Dark Pope of Rome has informed them that their most revered book, the Bible, can no longer be counted as being true, and as we can read as reported by the British Times Online News Service in their article titled "Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible" and which says:
"The hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true. The Catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland are warning their five million worshippers, as well as any others drawn to the study of scripture, that they should not expect “total accuracy” from the Bible. “We should not expect to find in Scripture full scientific accuracy or complete historical precision,” they say in The Gift of Scripture. The document is timely, coming as it does amid the rise of the religious Right, in particular in the US."
But if not ‘total accuracy’ from the Bible can be expected by these Western people, perhaps the prophetic warnings from another of their ancient prophets named Nostradamus should they then heed, and who of these times as apparently warned them about this Global War, and as he had written:
"Near the point of landing The Crusader Army will be ambushed by The Ismaelites, struck from all sides by the ship, Raviere. Promptly attacked by the elite galleys." C9 Q43
Throughout Asia Minor (Turkey, Kurdistan) There will be a great prohibiting of Outlaws. Even in Turkey, Iran and Iraq, blood will flow because of absolving a young Dark man filled with evil doing." C3 Q60
"In the Arabian Sea, a great fleet will flounder." C6 Q44
"The Sun (Atomic weapon) in The East, Saturn (Death) in The West, War near Orgon (S. France), a great evil seen near Rone, The ships melted and sunk by The Trident (or) The ship of the ones of The Trident will be melted and sunk." C5 Q62
One cannot but help to juxtapose these ancient prophecies with the warnings currently being issued by Iran against the United States, and as we read as reported by the Reuters News Service in their article titled "Be ready to face consequences: Iran to US" and which says, "Iran threatened on Monday to use its 'full might' to US endanger interests if Washington upped the pressure on Tehran over its disputed nuclear programme."
But to accepting warnings about the truthful state of the world these Western people are adverse to, even when it comes from one of their highest elected leaders, Republican Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who after saying these words had the Military Leaders of the United States begin an investigation against him, and as we can read as reported by the American Daily News Service in their article titled "US Looking Sideways: Bird Flu" and which says:
"In respect of human mortality, for the sake of your own families and children, for the honor and satisfaction of doing right, I bid you join in this effort."
What effort? Fighting the bird flu epidemic.
Who was speaking those words? US Senate Majority Leader William H. Frist, M.D., as he delivered his speech to the audience at the Nantucket Atheneum. He was referring to the worldwide threat of infectious diseases.The Washington Post headlines today read: "Indonesia Warns of Bird Flu Epidemic." According to reporter Alan Sipress messaging from Jakarta, Indonesia, that nation "could be on the brink of a bird flu epidemic if the virus continues to accelerate, the country's health minister warned Wednesday as the number of suspected cases in the capital continued to mount."
If such a bird flu attack occurred in North America, the United States would not be prepared. That is why Frist was speaking out. Yet candidly Frist admitted that "like everyone else, politicians tend to look away from danger, to hope for the best, and pray that disaster will not arrive on their watch even as they sleep through it. This is so much a part of human nature that it often goes unchallenged."But looking sideways when one should be looking head-on cannot be tolerated in these troubled times. Therefore, enough of procrastination.
Frist goes on: "But we will not be able to sleep through what is likely coming soon -- a front of unchecked and virulent epidemics, the potential of which should rise above your every other concern. For what the world now faces, it has not seen even in the most harrowing episodes of the Middle Ages or the great wars of the last century. "We are unprepared for rampant epidemics. And even worse, we haven’t taken sufficient note of the fact that though individually each might be devastating, they are susceptible of either purposeful or accidental combination, in which case they could be devastating almost beyond imagination."
Even with this stark warning, checking the Internet for sites focusing on America’s lack of preparedness regarding the bird flu epidemic, the sites are slim. Instead, the sites calmly recite the mantra of the definition of bird flu, how the flu has impacted past history, what an individual can do to ward off that flu, and so forth. It’s like reading how to ward of a sore throat."
The reward for telling the truth to the American people carries a high price however, and as Senator Frist has discovered, and as reported by the CNN News Service in their article titled "SEC chairman withdraws from Frist investigation" and which says, "Cox's statement was the first public acknowledgment by the SEC that it is investigating Frist's sale of stock in HCA, the big hospital operating company founded by his family."
As the United States continues the fight for its very survival the American people themselves remain blindingly ignorant of how dire their situation is growing, and though known by their Military Leaders, these events are not allowed to be broadcast by their Media Organs to the masses themselves.
And perhaps one the strongest messages of warning the masses of these Western people have not heard could also be the one they should know by heart, and as we can read as reported by the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs News Service in their article titled "Osama bin Laden’s Mandate for Nuclear Terror" and which says:
"An Islamic religious ruling that had been kept from the public for a year-and-a-half granted Osama bin Laden and other terrorist leaders permission to use nuclear, biological or chemical weapons against the United States and its allies. The existence of the ruling, or fatwa, was revealed by Michael Scheuer, a former Central Intelligence Agency officer who headed the agency’s Bin Laden unit from 1996 to 1999 during the course of a November 14 broadcast of the CBS news show Sixty Minutes. The fatwa was issued by a prominent Saudi cleric on May 21, 2003, and is an ominous sign that bin Laden and al Qaeda no longer accept moral or religious values obstructing the use of weapons of mass destruction."
Tonight the world no longer stands at the abyss….Tonight we have truly plunged into it.

Does this mean that they will just make stuff up now? Actually, since when did the Catholic Church ever swear by the truth of the Bible? Everything was always based on ritual and Babylonian tradition, not on the Bible anyways. I guess nothing has really changed but this official statement will shake the faith of millions of people (what they had left) and leave the door wide open for the acceptance of new agey doctrines of the coming Anti-Christ figure.

Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible
BY RUTH GLEDHILL, RELIGION CORRESPONDENT

THE hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true.

The Catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland are warning their five million worshippers, as well as any others drawn to the study of scripture, that they should not expect “total accuracy” from the Bible.
“We should not expect to find in Scripture full scientific accuracy or complete historical precision,” they say in The Gift of Scripture.
The document is timely, coming as it does amid the rise of the religious Right, in particular in the US.
Some Christians want a literal interpretation of the story of creation, as told in Genesis, taught alongside Darwin’s theory of evolution in schools, believing “intelligent design” to be an equally plausible theory of how the world began.
But the first 11 chapters of Genesis, in which two different and at times conflicting stories of creation are told, are among those that this country’s Catholic bishops insist cannot be “historical”. At most, they say, they may contain “historical traces”.
The document shows how far the Catholic Church has come since the 17th century, when Galileo was condemned as a heretic for flouting a near-universal belief in the divine inspiration of the Bible by advocating the Copernican view of the solar system. Only a century ago, Pope Pius X condemned Modernist Catholic scholars who adapted historical-critical methods of analysing ancient literature to the Bible.
In the document, the bishops acknowledge their debt to biblical scholars. They say the Bible must be approached in the knowledge that it is “God’s word expressed in human language” and that proper acknowledgement should be given both to the word of God and its human dimensions.
They say the Church must offer the gospel in ways “appropriate to changing times, intelligible and attractive to our contemporaries”.
The Bible is true in passages relating to human salvation, they say, but continue: “We should not expect total accuracy from the Bible in other, secular matters.”
They go on to condemn fundamentalism for its “intransigent intolerance” and to warn of “significant dangers” involved in a fundamentalist approach.
“Such an approach is dangerous, for example, when people of one nation or group see in the Bible a mandate for their own superiority, and even consider themselves permitted by the Bible to use violence against others.”
Of the notorious anti-Jewish curse in Matthew 27:25, “His blood be on us and on our children”, a passage used to justify centuries of anti-Semitism, the bishops say these and other words must never be used again as a pretext to treat Jewish people with contempt. Describing this passage as an example of dramatic exaggeration, the bishops say they have had “tragic consequences” in encouraging hatred and persecution. “The attitudes and language of first-century quarrels between Jews and Jewish Christians should never again be emulated in relations between Jews and Christians.”
As examples of passages not to be taken literally, the bishops cite the early chapters of Genesis, comparing them with early creation legends from other cultures, especially from the ancient East. The bishops say it is clear that the primary purpose of these chapters was to provide religious teaching and that they could not be described as historical writing.
Similarly, they refute the apocalyptic prophecies of Revelation, the last book of the Christian Bible, in which the writer describes the work of the risen Jesus, the death of the Beast and the wedding feast of Christ the Lamb.
The bishops say: “Such symbolic language must be respected for what it is, and is not to be interpreted literally. We should not expect to discover in this book details about the end of the world, about how many will be saved and about when the end will come.”
In their foreword to the teaching document, the two most senior Catholics of the land, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, Archbishop of Westminster, and Cardinal Keith O’Brien, Archbishop of St Andrew’s and Edinburgh, explain its context.
They say people today are searching for what is worthwhile, what has real value, what can be trusted and what is really true.
The new teaching has been issued as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations of Dei Verbum, the Second Vatican Council document explaining the place of Scripture in revelation. In the past 40 years, Catholics have learnt more than ever before to cherish the Bible. “We have rediscovered the Bible as a precious treasure, both ancient and ever new.”
A Christian charity is sending a film about the Christmas story to every primary school in Britain after hearing of a young boy who asked his teacher why Mary and Joseph had named their baby after a swear word. The Breakout Trust raised £200,000 to make the 30-minute animated film, It’s a Boy. Steve Legg, head of the charity, said: “There are over 12 million children in the UK and only 756,000 of them go to church regularly.
That leaves a staggering number who are probably not receiving basic Christian teaching.”

Just when you were starting to think that this whole Avian flu business might be all hype, George Bush addressed this issue at his speech yesterday. Let’s face it, this is most likely the real deal.

U.S. Rushes to Finish Influenza Pandemic Plan
The Health secretary is leading a drive to boost federal efforts, and funding, to prepare for a global outbreak if avian flu mutates.
By Warren Vieth, Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON — Even before it can tally the full cost of post-hurricane reconstruction, the Bush administration is seeking congressional support for an expanded government effort to prepare for a worldwide influenza pandemic.

The Department of Health and Human Services is rushing to complete its first comprehensive plan for coping with a possible flu pandemic, and could release the final version as early as this week. It is expected to be accompanied by a request for several billion dollars in new funding, and Congress appears to be willing to cover at least a portion.
Health authorities are particularly concerned about a virulent strain of avian flu in Asia that has killed several dozen people who handled infected birds. There are signs the virus may now be developing the ability, through mutation, to spread from human to human. It is the mutated form that could cause a pandemic.

The administration's pandemic plan is part of a broader effort to accelerate preparations for a potential health disaster. Conservative estimates of fatalities in a flu pandemic number in the millions worldwide, and in the tens of thousands in the United States.

The government has begun contracting with pharmaceutical makers to develop vaccines targeted at new strains of influenza virus. It has started stockpiling millions of doses of antiviral medicines that could limit symptoms and reduce the chances of spreading the virus. President Bush is pressuring other countries to conduct better surveillance for flu outbreaks, share information more readily and commit to aggressive containment measures.

Still, administration officials cautioned that even perfect planning would only lessen the devastation caused by a pandemic, not prevent it.

Bush's preparedness initiative is being directed by Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt, who said that of all the issues within his purview, including hurricane recovery and bioterrorism, the one that keeps him awake at night is influenza.

"It's a world-changing event when it occurs," Leavitt said in an interview. "It reaches beyond health. It affects economies, cultures, politics and prosperity — not to mention human life, counted by the millions."

Bush has taken up the cause personally, prodding the United Nations to make a priority of preparing for a pandemic and raising the issue in one-on-one discussions with the presidents of Russia and China and the prime minister of Indonesia, where in many parts of the country avian flu is endemic in poultry.

"We need to take it seriously," Bush said after a recent meeting with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. "I talked to Vladimir about avian flu; I talked to other world leaders about the potential outbreak of avian flu. If avian flu were to hit this country, do we have the proper response mechanisms? Does the federal government have the authority necessary to make certain decisions?"

The need to improve preparedness planning in the U.S. was underscored last October when the American company that provided half of the country's flu vaccines announced that it could not provide shots because of contamination in its British factory.

Last week, Leavitt held private briefings with key lawmakers on Capitol Hill to present the administration's case for an expanded preparedness program. The response was almost immediate. Several members issued public statements endorsing a broader campaign, and the Senate on Thursday approved a measure calling for $3.9 billion in new funding.

That's about what it would take to finance some of the bigger-ticket items in the pandemic plan, such as the development, acquisition and stockpiling of enough vaccine to inoculate 20 million Americans and enough antiviral drugs to help protect another 20 million, according to estimates by the Trust for America's Health, an independent policy research and advocacy group based in Washington.

"We need more than just a plan; we need the resources to actually activate it," said Jeffrey Levi, a pandemic specialist at the Trust. "The real test of the plan will be whether it comes with dollars attached."

The current draft of the administration's plan fills several hundred pages. It describes the role of the federal government in coordinating the response to a flu pandemic and outlines steps to be taken at all levels of government before and during an outbreak.

In addition to production and stockpiling of vaccines and antivirals, the plan seeks to conduct research, prepare public education campaigns and develop ways for hospitals to handle large numbers of patients.

Health authorities say one of the biggest challenges would be vaccine development.

Scientists cannot create the best possible vaccine until they know which form of the virus they're fighting. That means public health officials must remain vigilant and ready to isolate the virus once one emerges in a form that can spread among humans rapidly.

By then, the first wave of the pandemic probably would have already begun. But officials would still face the work of producing, distributing and administering the vaccine on a widespread basis. The process would take six to eight months, according to the department of Health and Human Services.

Hospital workers and other health professionals would be the first to receive vaccinations, so they could tend to pandemic victims without falling ill themselves. But a rapidly spreading contagion could quickly deplete the initial stores of vaccine, creating national or regional shortages, contributing to public alarm and requiring some kind of rationing program.

The Jewish community apparently believes that this year is the year where there will be dramatic changes to society and their Messiah will be revealed. The Jewish year 5766 has just started 2 days ago.

A time of Jewish renewal
BY JOSEPH MALLIA AND PETE BOWLES
STAFF WRITERS; Staff writer Joshua Robin contributed to this story.

October 4, 2005
At the Plainview Synagogue today the shofar, a ceremonial ram's horn, will sound 100 times as celebrants pray for the coming of the Moshiach, or messiah, during the Jewish year 5766, which begins today.

"Rosh Hashanah represents the day Adam was created," Sholom Baras, a member of the Plainview Synagogue, said yesterday just before the sunset that marked the beginning of the celebration commonly called the Jewish new year.
"This is a time to renew the existence of the world. To commit again to God that we are ready to do what is asked of us," Baras said. "We definitely want this year, 5766, to be the year the Moshiach comes."

The shofar is to be sounded 100 times during both days of Rosh Hashanah, today and tomorrow.

Baras expected to spend up to five hours at a time in prayer at the synagogue. There will be plenty of time, too, for holiday meals featuring treats such as apples dipped in honey, and pomegranates whose seeds are symbolic of the many merits within each Jew, he said.

The new year is celebrated in synagogues worldwide.

Rabbi Marc Schneier, of the New York Synagogue in Manhattan and the Hampton Synagogue in Westhampton, said he will be speaking about the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

"Rosh Hashanah celebrates the anniversary of the world's creation," he said. "This year, a year of hurricanes and tsunamis, we have to be more sensitive to our ... misconduct through global warming and environmental neglect. We cannot betray God's trust and God's gift of creation."

Schneier cited examples of how individuals made a difference in rescuing and saving lives and in bringing shelter to surivors of the hurricanes.

"Rosh Hashanah reminds us of the decisive differences we as individuals can make in this world," he said. "We have the power to transform our lives and others as well."

Do you feel something in the air? Is there a certain uneasiness that you sense but can’t put your finger on why you feel this? If you do, it may be because of your knowledge of what is about to transpire or it could be that you just may just be exceptionally intuitive. If you don’t, maybe you’ve been spending too much time watching reality shows and paying too much attention to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. I’m not too worried about offending these types of people since they probably wont be reading this anyways. If you have been paying attention to the real news (BTW:not CNN crap), the stage is being frantically set for a nuclear showdown.


Will Israel Start World War Three?
And finish the set-up the US started by radicalizing and arming Iran in the first place
Paul Joseph Watson/Alex Jones | October 2 2005

Israeli rhetoric towards Iran has considerably heated in the last few weeks as the world hurtles towards an inevitable confrontation over Iran's nuclear programs.
Last week three senior Israeli lawmakers went public to warn that Israel would act unilaterally to eliminate any perceived Iranian threat. Yosef Lapid, head of the centrist opposition Shinui Party in the Knesset stated, "Threats of sanctions and isolation alone will not do it, we feel we are obliged to warn our friends that Israel should not be pushed into a situation where we see no other solution but to act unilaterally."
In 1981, Israel bombed the Osiraq nuclear power plant near Baghdad immediately prior to it being fueled by its French contractors. Once fueled, bombing is out of the question because of the radiation that would be emitted, with clouds of poison drifting anywhere across the globe. This attack was essentially the brainchild of the same Neo-Cons pulling the strings today, who were just getting a foothold during the first year of the Reagan administration. Through their actions and incessant saber-rattling they later became known as 'the crazies' by more moderate policy makers under the first Bush presidency. Even Colin Powell, an establishment underling through and through went one further, calling them "fucking crazies" during the build-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

The Bushehr nuclear reactor is a Russian project and it is set to be fueled very shortly. A senior Iranian atomic energy official said back in late June that the first fuel would arrive in a few months. Any targeted air strikes on the facility would merit an immediate response from the Russians.
Despite reports of increasingly strained relations between Russian and Iran, Vladimir Putin has publicly stated that Russia will defend Iran both diplomatically and militarily. The implications of this are obviously deeply concerning. If the situation was to spiral out of control, China, which has recently conducted several wargames with Russia, would step in on the side of Russian and Iran. The US would be obligated to defend Israel and in turn Europe would be obligated to defend the US.
Estimates of when Iran is likely to have acquired a usable nuclear arsenal range from five to ten years, but the Israelis have been fear mongering by saying it will be as soon as one or two.
Israeli officials have gone on the record to warn that military exercises have already been conducted and fully rehearsed to strike Iran's nuclear facilities as soon as they go live.
Lieut. General Thomas McInerney appeared on Fox News earlier this year and was asked about the likelihood of the US instigating or supporting any attack on Iran. McInerney sated, “Well, I would put one percent of using ground forces, boots on the ground in Iran, I would put up 50 percent on a blockade and I would put up fifty to sixty percent on precision air strikes on their nuclear development sites.”
The history of how Iran's path to nuclear proliferation began is a familiar story.

The 1953 CIA ouster of President Mossadegh, a leader who was conforming to westernized policy but made the mistake of asking to keep a small portion of his country's oil revenue, was achieved by means of staged bombings and shootings which were blamed on the Iranian government in order to antagonize the population and enable the coup.
After installing the Shah Globalists like Henry Kissinger opened the door for Iran to develop sophisticated nuclear energy programs which laid the foundation for today's crisis. Twenty three reactors were built with the help of American corporations like General Electric and Westinghouse.
In 1976, President Gerald Ford even authorized the Shah to buy and operate a plutonium-extracting and processing facility - a big step toward converting energy processing to weapons making.
After the revolution of 1979 the fundamentalist Ayatollah Khomeni reversed westernized policy but maintained Iran's nuclear interest albeit staggeringly before the end of the war with Iraq. After the war ended Iran was again free to pursue its ends leading us to the impending crisis we face today.
It seems almost inevitable now that the Neo-Cons will launch targeted military strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities. Whether Israel goes alone or has US support seems beside the point. There are two dangers which apply to either outcome.
1) Will there, as George Galloway has warned could happen, be a staged terrorist attack either in Israel or the United States that is blamed on Iran?
One would suspect that the scope of this attack would have to be on the level of 9/11 to warrant an immediate military operation against Iran.

American Conservative magazine reported that Dick Cheney had given the authorization for a military strike on Iran immediately after the next terror attack in the United States.
Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi echoed the same sentiments.
2) How will Russia and China react and will this escalation light the blue touch paper for world war three?
Only time will tell.

There will come a time when this matter will be officially addressed. They have been mulling over this for some time now. You know when they do decide to take this step, the collapse of organized, traditional religion is imminent.

Will the New Pope Face the ET Question? Probably, But How Will He Answer?
By Thomas Horn
Senior RNU News Reporter
RNU.com – (Raiders News Update) In 1997, popular radio host Art Bell on his program Coast to Coast asked eminent catholic theologian and former Jesuit priest, Malachi Martin why the Vatican was heavily invested in the study of deep space at Mt Graham Observatory in southeastern Arizona. As a retired professor of the Pontifical Biblical Institute, Father Martin was uniquely qualified to hold in secret, information pertaining to the Vatican's Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT) project at the Mount Graham International Observatory (MGIO). Martin's answer ignited a firestorm of interest among Christian and secular UFOlogists:
Father Martin: "Because the mentality, the attitude, mentality amongst those who [are] at the higher levels, highest levels of Vatican administration and geopolitics, know that, now, knowledge of what's going on in space, and what's approaching us, could be of great import in the next five years, ten years."
The cryptic words "...what's approaching us, could be of great import in the next five years, ten years," was followed in subsequent interviews with discussion of a mysterious "sign in the sky" that Father Malachi believed was approaching from the North. Martin passed away in 1999 but not before allegedly telling his good friend Art Bell "a secret," which some believe relates to the space object and the 5-10 year timeframe. In either case, we stand today at the threshold of Father Malachi's words, and with less than 24 months remaining in his prediction.
Would Earthly Religions Survive ET Disclosure?
If suddenly visitors from beyond our space or understanding landed on the White House lawn, how would the world's political and religious leaders respond? Paul Davies of The Atlantic Monthly wrote in 2003 that the discovery of even a single bacterium somewhere beyond Earth could force mankind to revise its understanding of who we are and where we fit into the cosmic scheme of things. Davies speculated that such a find could throw the human race into a spiritual identity crisis that could leave some gasping for faith in God.
In contrast, the Alexander UFO Religious Crisis Survey of ministers indicated that a majority of people--both religious and non-religious--not only believe in but could accept a genuine ET reality without throwing away God with the bathwater.
Davies hopes this is true. As a cosmologist he sees order in the universe, including the anthropic balances that make life possible elsewhere. This has led to a deep personal interest in the subject of God and ET in which his response to either an ET discovery or visitation would be compatible to his religious ideas. He says the discovery of extraterrestrial life might actually substantiate biblical creation, not challenge it, if mankind is--as the Alexander UFO Religious Crisis Survey suggests--ready for it.
Professor Anthony Tambasco of Georgetown University not only believes the world--including its religious people--is ready for ET, but responding to NASA's recent press releases about life potentially existing on Mars, he said that if the discovery of life is substantiated, "it will not unravel traditional biblical convictions, but rather provide an opportunity to enlarge or broaden them."
In a related CCN article, Sayyid Syeed of the Islamic Society of North America said, "Most Muslims would also welcome the discovery of life off of Earth." The Koran refers to Allah as the God of 'worlds,' he said, not just one world.

Rabbi James Ruden of the American Jewish Committee says most Jews also leave open the possibility of life on other planets in their interpretation of Genesis.
But What If ET Is Already Here, And He's the Devil?
"I have become thoroughly convinced that UFOs are real," popular Christian writer Hal Lindsey once wrote. "I believe these beings are not only extraterrestrial but supernatural in origin. To be blunt, I think they are demons."
Bestselling author and researcher Dr. Lynn Marzulli agrees, depicting alien visitors in his Nephilim books as malevolent forces bent on enslaving the human race.
In Angels Dark and Light, Gary Kinnaman writes that he accepts UFO sightings as the manifestations of angels of darkness. "My main reason for thinking this is that UFO sightings have never, at least to my knowledge, led a person closer to God. In fact, most UFO experiences have just the opposite effect."
Associate professor of psychology Elizabeth L. Hillstrom points out in her book Testing the Spirits that a growing number of scholars support similar conclusions of UFOnauts being synonymous with historical demons. She wrote:
From a Christian perspective, Vallee’s explanation of UFOs is the most striking because of its parallels with demonic activity. UFO investigators have noticed these similarities. Vallee himself, drawing from extrabiblical literature on demonic activities, establishes a number of parallels between UFOnauts and demons....Pierre Guerin, a UFO researcher and a scientist associated with the French National Council for Scientific Research, is not so cautious: "The modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical." Veteran researcher John Keel, who wrote UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse and other books on the subject, comes to the same conclusion: "The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon."
Other experts including some Christian theologians caution against connecting ET with demonology or similar preliminary conclusions.
To Boldly Go Where Someone Already Is?
Regardless of the position one takes, contact with extraterrestrial life forms has never been closer and the reality of sudden disclosure has entered the mainstream of theological and scientific academia like a battering ram.
In the past five years ESA and NASA scientists have confirmed there were once huge bodies of water on Mars where life could have evolved, and that there might still be water underground and in deep caves where life forms continue to thrive. Elsewhere, astronomers are finding more and more extrasolar planets where the potential for harboring life could exist.
When I asked a friend with top security clearance--whose name and position with the government I won't mention for obvious reasons--what he thought about all of this, here is what he gave me:
Tom, two landers touched down on the planet Mars in what was to become an international search for life. The British Beagle 2 reached the red planet on the day the Savior’s birth was celebrated, December 25th, 2003 and immediately disappeared. European scientists examining images of the lander’s separation from the mothership were startled to find an unidentified object nearby. Shortly after, NASA’s Spirit Rover rolled onto the Gusev Crater, a lake-like depression south of the Martian equator, and began transmitting unexpected images and data from that anomalous terrain. Within days and without explanation, it abruptly stopped. Engineers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory worked on the problem, and the rover was rebooted. But--and here is what you don't know yet--it then photographed something that defied explanation… something that wasn’t supposed to be seen... something you'll know about soon enough.
I wondered if this was a reference to what look like artificial structures on Mars, such as these.
I understand now it's much more substantial.
Will the new Pope face the ET Question?
The chances look better than ever.

Here we go again. More warnings as winter approaches. The Jewish year 5766 has just started today as of 10/3/05 sundown. The high level Zionists have long predicted that the year 5766 would be a significant year for the redemption of Israel which would be preceded by disasters and disease. Is this the year? Is this a part of the series of disasters?

Bird flu 'could kill 150m people'
A flu pandemic could happen at any time and kill between 5-150 million people, a UN health official has warned.
David Nabarro, who is charged with co-ordinating responses to bird flu, said a mutation of the virus affecting Asia could trigger new outbreaks.
"It's like a combination of global warming and HIV/Aids 10 times faster than it's running at the moment," Dr Nabarro told the BBC.
But the World Health Organisation has distanced itself from the figure.
The WHO spokesman on influenza, Dick Thompson, told a news conference in Geneva that the WHO's official estimate of the number of people who could die was between two million and 7.4 million.
"There is obvious confusion, and I think that has to be straightened out. I don't think you will hear Dr Nabarro say the same sort of thing again," Mr Thompson said.
Bird flu has swept through poultry and wild birds in Asia since 2003.
It has killed huge numbers of birds and led to more than 60 human deaths.
Prepared for worst
"The range of deaths could be anything between 5m and 150m," the UN's new co-ordinator for avian and human influenza said in his BBC interview.
Dr Nabarro said he stood by the figure drawn from the work of epidemiologists around the world.
"My reason for giving the higher figure is simply that I want to be sure that when this next flu pandemic does come along, that we are prepared for the worst as well as for the mildest," he said.
In an earlier interview with the BBC, he said the likelihood that the Asian virus could mutate and jump to humans was high.
"The consequences in terms of human life when the pandemic does start are going to be extraordinary and very damaging," he said.
Because it has moved to wild migratory birds there is a possibility "that the first outbreak could happen even in Africa or in the Middle East", he warned.
The comments came as agriculture ministers from the Association of South East Asian Nations (Asean) endorsed a three-year plan to combat the spread of the virus, and pledged $2m to fund research and training.
Dr Nabarro said the number of deaths from any future influenza pandemic would depend on where it started, how quickly it was discovered and the kind of response they got from governments.
"I believe that the work we're doing over the next few months will make the difference between, for example, whether the next pandemic leads us in the direction of 150 or in the direction of five."
The appointment of Dr Nabarro is an indication of how seriously the UN is taking the threat, the BBC's UN correspondent Suzannah Price says.
In his new role, he is meant to ensure the UN has a co-ordinated response to bird flu and that it helps global efforts to prepare for any human flu pandemic, our correspondent says.
