1. Where is America in Bible Prophecy? Obama and the Iranian bomb Iran's mullahs are set to achieve what decades of western diplomacy could not - bring about Arab/Israeli détente. Fears of nuclear weapons in the hands of Tehran's revolutionary Shiite regime are forcing a shotgun marriage of Tel Aviv and the Sunni Arab states in a stunning triumph of power politics over historical hatreds. The Washington Times recently had an opportunity to sit down with an Israeli source who told us, “You'd be amazed at how we see eye-to-eye with the moderate Arab states.” .......................... read more U.N. panel says world should ditch dollar A U.N. panel will next week recommend that the world ditch the dollar as its reserve currency in favor of a shared basket of currencies, a member of the panel said on Wednesday, adding to pressure on the dollar........................... read more Who is a terrorist? You might be surprised to find yourself on this list Ignoring the threat of Muslim terrorists, the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report focuses on the so-called "militia movement" and "conflates it with supporters of Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr, the so-called patriot movement and other political activist organizations opposed to the North American Union and the New World Order." According to the MIAC, opposition to world government, NAFTA, federalization of the states, and restrictive gun laws are a potential threat to the police. ........................... read more America, one nation under no God? No religious group in the United States is growing as fast as those who profess no religion at all. The latest American Religious Identification Survey, shows that the number of non-religious Americans has nearly doubled since 1990, while the number of people who specifically self-identity as atheists or agnostics has more than tripled. An astonishing 30% of married Americans weren't wed in religious ceremonies, and 27% don't expect to have religious funerals. This suggests whole swaths of the culture are becoming secular. What we're seeing is not a northern European-style mellowing, but an increasing polarization.. ......................... read more Mexico threat more serious than Iraq and Afghanistan? On March 6, Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was in Mexico to offer military assistance in their escalating war against the drug lords. This after several U.S. intelligence reports found that Mexico now presented as worse threat to our national security than Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan or Pakistan. Now President Obama says he’s considering putting troops on the border. . ......................... read more U.S. officially endorses homosexuality before U.N.

Israel - God's Timepiece If there were no Israel While Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is busy seeking a solution to the Israel-Palestine problem, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's president, is spending almost all his waking moments calling for Israel's destruction. The world's other Jew-haters spend nearly all their time hiding their politically incorrect anti-Semitism behind politically correct anti-Israelism. So let's imagine that a genie makes Israel disappear and also makes all of us lose our memory of the "Zionist entity" and of the modern Jewish state. What would an Israel-free Middle East be like? ........................ read more Syria-Iran: A Critical Alliance Irrespective of the Arab-Israeli conflict and Israel's existence, the ties with Iran constitute for the ruthless Assad regime an indispensable financial, diplomatic and military means of survival. The Syria-Iran axis bolsters Bashar al-Assad's policies on the most critical fronts: domestic, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Turkey, Russia and the USA. Assad's fundamental interests conflict with fundamental US values and interests. . ...................... read more Study: Israel may attack Iran nuclear sites with ballistic missiles Ballistic missiles could be Israel's weapon of choice against Iranian nuclear facilities if it decides on a pre-emptive attack and deems air strikes too risky, according to a report by a Washington think-tank. Israel is widely assumed to have Jericho missiles capable of hitting Iran with an accuracy of a few dozen meters from target. Such a capability would be free of warplanes' main drawbacks - limits on fuel and ordnance, and perils to pilots.......................... read more Murdoch: The West Rises of Falls With Israel We see a growing assault on both the legitimacy and security of the State of Israel. This assault comes from people who make clear they have no intention of ever living side-by-side in peace with a Jewish state - no matter how many concessions Israel might make. The reason for this is also clear: These are men who cannot abide the idea of freedom, tolerance and democracy. They hate Israel for the same reasons they hate us.. ....................... read more 4. The Gog/Magog War Russian president orders military rearmament The Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, has ordered a 'comprehensive' military rearmament after accusing Nato of once again encroaching on Moscow's sphere of influence in the former Soviet Union. Mr Medvedev's bellicose speech risks causing unease in Washington and will dampen hopes of a rapid improvement in strained East-West relations. The president told defense ministry officials in Moscow that Nato's continued enlargement ambitions meant that Russia had been left with no choice but to increase its conventional and nuclear combat preparedness.. ..................... read more 7.

In recent test-blasts, Pentagon-researchers at Northrop Grumman managed to get its 105 kilowatts of power out of their laser -- past the "100kW threshold that has been viewed traditionally as a proof of principle for 'weapons grade' power levels for high-energy lasers.. ........................... read more You are being watched David Lyon is studying the ceiling in an Ottawa coffee shop, searching for hidden cameras. A leading figure in the fast-growing field of surveillance studies, the Queen's University sociologist is only too aware of the many ways we're all being watched. Closed-circuit TV cameras, like the ones likely concealed in the coffee shop ceiling, are among the most common. Since 9/11, their use has exploded worldwide. Britain now has an estimated 4.2 million CCTV cameras — one for every 14 citizens. People in central London are now caught on camera about 300 times a day.. ........................... read more 8.

There was no shortage of willing applicants. In a provocative essay called "The Inner Ring," C.S. Lewis suggested why that might be so: "I believe that in all men's lives at certain periods . . . one of the most dominant elements is the desire to be inside the local Ring, and the terror of being left outside." President Obama has recruited several Christian leaders to join one of the world's most exclusive inner rings, the presidential prayer team................. read more 'American Idol' Christianity Story Gets Heated Reaction We learned two things about "American Idol" fans last week when we ran a story on how this year's show features more Christian-affiliated finalists than ever before: Most of you don't care what religion a singer is as long as they're good, and the rest of you think even pointing out religion on "Idol" is "absolutely outrageous."................ read more What You Need to Know about David Wilkerson's 'Urgent Message' What did David Wilkerson say that got so many people talking? ............... read more 9.
