Lebanon - Bomb kills 18 Jumblatt deserts the West Aug 13 WHAT?!? Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt deserts Lebanon's pro-Western camp, signs pact with pro-Iranian Hizballah. Jumblatt has decided to throw in with the pro-Syrian, anti-Israel Hellzballah. JUMBALLAH! This is bad. I cant blame him. Neither Israel nor USA have helped to prevent Lebanon's swift slide into the terrorists hands. Jumblatt quietly signed a pact with Nasty Nasrallah, affording Hizballah a strong foothold in the Lebanese Druze bastion of Mt. Chouf. Lebanese president Michel Sleiman is in Damascus to celebrate the thaw in relations. Tripoli - A bomb ripped through a bus carrying civilians and military in northern Lebanon, killing 18 Bomb in northern Lebanon, ynet: Jumblat join Hellzballah, debka: GEORGIA-RUSSIA Balance of Power The Russian invasion of Georgia has not changed the balance of power in Eurasia. It simply revealed the balance of power had already shifted. The United States has been absorbed in its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as potential conflict with Iran and a destabilizing situation in Pakistan. It has no strategic ground forces in reserve and is in no position to intervene on the Russian periphery. This has opened a window of opportunity for the Russians to reassert their influence in the former Soviet sphere. Moscow did not have to concern itself with the potential response of the United States or Europe, hence, the invasion did not shift the balance of power. The balance of power had already shifted, and it was up to the Russians when to make this public, which they did August 8, 2008. The Russo-Georgian War and the Balance of Power, stratfor intel: 12 months of Stratfor intellegence reports: Aug 14 Free Republic reports Russian warship Moskva Heavily Damaged in the Battle in the Black Sea Ukraine Ukraine has threatened to block any Russian ships in the Black Sea from returning to port. Stratfor intel and others have warned for months that a resurgent Russia would have to act soon to remind the West that Russia is back and is a force to reckon with. Russian military forces went rolling into Georgia August 8, 2008. Major news sites had nothing up for hours. Stratfor has warned of the larger US-Russian rivalry and possible next episodes. Explosions in Gori Aug 14 Explosions near the Georgian city of Gori, Russia will NOT leave Gori. Russia says forget about Georgian Territorial integrity as Russian troops return. Russian tanks and troops moved back into Gori and the Black Sea oil port city of Poti. Some have blue signs, badges, which means they should be 'peacekeepers.' Russia declares Georgia's territorial integrity is a dead issue, a clear sign that Moscow could absorb the two regions. Explosions heard in Gori were the result of Russian troops clearing unexploded ordnance. Whose ammo? Is Russia denying Georgia self-defense? Russia will not leave Gori, ynet: Forget About Georgian Territorial Integrity, FOX: Russian tanks in Gori, CNN: USA supply planes land in Tbilisi Aug 14 Direct US-Russian military clashes in Georgia are possible if the Russians fail to give way to supplies from USA. US president George W Bush ordered an American Air Force-Navy humanitarian airlift to Georgia, demanding that Russia open all routes to these deliveries and to civilian transit. After 7 days of Russian-Georgian warfare, that amounted to a bid to break the Russian blockade. The US Air Force C-17 military cargo plane with humanitarian and medical aid landed in Georgia. Russia's Lavrov called Georgia's leadership "a special project of the United States." It is, and also has close ties with Israel. Bush reiterated US support for Georgia's democratically-elected government and territorial integrity and declared Russia must cease all military acts and withdraw to positions held before the conflict flared. US Air Force supply planes land in Tbilisi, debka: There is no cease-fire Aug 13 There is no cease-fire in Georgia. Russian military move deeper into Georgia. Gori is under continuing Russian attacks. There is no sign of any ceasefire in the Russian-Georgian war in South Osettia. 50 Russian planes bomb Georgia. Russia bombed Tbilisi international airport One war link - interfax.com NO ceasefire, CNN Aug 13: Russia attacks Gori, debka Ag 11: Who what where why: Georgia has supporters Aug 13 mid-day debka In a show of anti-Russian solidarity, the leaders of 5 former Soviet republics, the 3 Baltic nations, Ukraine and Poland, flew into Tbilisi and stood alongside the Georgian president at a mass flag-waving rally in parliament square last night. They also joined him in a fiery anti-Russian news conference today. Russia claims 2,000 civilians dead, Georgia claims death toll in Georgia is 175 people, mainly civilians. The UN estimates 100,000 have been displaced from their homes. Russian nukes in S Ossetia Russia has deployed tactical nuclear weapons to South Ossetia. This move indicates Russia is upping the game from a conventional weapons war to a tactical nuclear weapons war. Russian nukes in S Ossetia, blog: Georgia Attacks Continue Russia claims to stop bombing but attacks continue. Moscow's curb on Russian forces leaves Abkhazian and South Ossetian troops free to combat the Georgian army. It is not over, its only begun. My guess is now GEORGIA will be toppled by her neighbors, with Russian support. Is this a proxy war between USA and Russia? Attacks Continue: Proxy War: BLOG on Georgia ceasefire: Excellent link for war information, continually updated: Aug 13 Russia's moved nukes into Georgia and is advancing on Tbilisi, shutting off the only route across Georgia thereby shutting down the country's economy. Russians are bombing and looting Gori. Russian convoy in Georgia - PHOTO: US to Transfer Bio Weapons to Georgia August 13th, 2008 Plum Island website said the United States commenced a `research project' under the guise of Foreign Animal Disease Vaccinations and Diagnostics in June, to study African Swine Fever (ASFV) and to conduct `biological counter measures'. (Read behind the news) The study will recruit a scientist from Georgia to come to Plum Island for training in foreign animal disease (FAD), vaccination discovery, inclusive of cell culture, viral analysis, sequencing and necropsy. The scientist will also have access to viral samples and genomic sequencing. He will then teach what he learns to other Georgia scientists. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with collaboration from ARS, Plum Island, and the Republic of Georgia will prepare and submit their research and vaccination proposal targeting the Eurasian response. Georgia Bio Weapons: Aug 13 (Interfax-AVN) - Russian planes downed by Georgian systems operated by Ukrainian crews. A Tupolev Tu-22 long-range supersonic bomber and several Sukhoi Su-25 jets were shot down. Ukrainian crews were operating air defense systems. Russia navy opposite Ajaria Georgia Aug 12 Russia masses naval force opposite Georgia's third region, Ajaria. Half of Ajaria are Muslim, half are Russians. Ajarian has come to mean a Georgian Muslim. Georgia is mostly Christian. While the world's attention was fixed on the Russian-Georgian contest over South Ossetia and Abkhazia, Russia has massed a fleet of warships and marine forces opposite the Gerogia's semi-autonomous Black Sea region of Ajaria. The Russian Black Sea buildup is deployed opposite Batumi, an important port for the shipment of oil from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. Its oil refinery handles Caspian oil from Azerbaijan. Moscow is preparing to punish Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili by occupying this coastal strip on Georgia's border with Turkey. The Kremlin did not like the appearance of Ukraine's president Yushchenko and others alongside Saakashvili at a huge rally in Tbilisi. Moscow will not only punish Georgia, but gain a strategic Black Sea foothold at Turkey's back door and a gateway to Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Russia navy opposite Ajaria Georgia, debka: Aug 12 Russia wants the Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili to resign. Russia denied Russian troops were ever in Georgian territory, but only in the "peacekeeping" regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Moscow reserved the right to respond militarily to future Georgian attacks. The Kremlin claims Russian President Medvedev has ordered an end to military operations against Georgia, after restoring security for civilians and peacekeepers in South Ossetia. However, Russia has been highly critical of Georgia's leadership, and there were no signs of imminent talks. Russian warplanes bomb Gori, Georgia, several people were killed when a Russian bomb hit a Georgia hospital. Georgia said the country had been overrun by Russian troops after a full-scale ground invasion. Moscow forces had taken the town of Gori and were marching on the capital Tsblisi. Georgian soldiers appeared to be in full retreat. The civilian crisis intensified with thousands of refugees fleeing the advance of the Russian army. The US military was surprised by the timing and swiftness of Russia's move, and is still trying to sort out what happened. Russian forces surged into the region after weeks of clashes, threats and warnings between Tblisi and Moscow which culminated August 6 in a two-day Georgian offensive into South Ossetia. That the two countries were on a collision course was no surprise to anyone, but the devastating Russian response was not expected Russia stops bombing Georgia, debka: Russia ends Georgia operation, BBC: Attacks Continue: New Attacks On Georgia BBC DISTORTS the NEWS from the GEORGIA REGION Aug 11 ZionsCRY again warns, in a war zone, do not expect many facts. NO one knows who shot who first. It is clear that Russia planned this a long time. The NWO planned WW3 decades ago. The BBC item is 'balance' (?) NEWS reports out of Russia say Georgia started this war. 2,000 reported killed in South Ossetia deserted capital of Tskhinvali Georgian forces pull out of Tskhinvali, call for cease-fire U.S. accuses Russia of trying to overthrow Georgian government Russian aircraft launched new bombing raids on Georgia, hitting communications and the Black Sea port of Poti. Russian tanks attempted to advance on Gori near South Ossetia, but were turned back by Georgian forces. (Yeah right) As usual, the BBC is distorting the news coming out of the Georgia region. We are told that around 1500 have been killed in Georgia from Russian bombing. Not so, the casualties are in Ossetia. While the Ossetians claimed over 1000 dead from Georgian shelling, the BBC did not report this. All we are getting is one-sided reports of the destruction being caused by the Russians. New Attacks On Georgia, fox: Georgia, Russia battle, NBC: Second front opens up, cnn: BBC DISTORTS Georgia NEWS: Nukes in Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia has agreement with the IAEA on the protocols of safeguards under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. In December 2006 Saudi Arabia and the GCC announced that they were setting up a commission to study the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Evidently they will sell their oil abroad and use nuclear power at home. Wanna buy a bridge? -Media Line / Jpost Toronto Propane Explosions Aug 10 Explosions at Sunrise Propane forced thousands of people to evacuate a northwestern Toronto neighborhood. The sky lit up in the glow of an enormous fireball before turning black with billowing smoke. The explosions shut down the city's busiest highways and a part of the subway system, snarling traffic. Residents within a one-mile radius were ordered to evacuate immediately, and police brought in buses to take residents out of the area. Toronto Propane explosions, FOX: Toronto fireball, BBC: 3 US naval forces due in Persian Gulf Aug 11 The USA will have 5 strike forces in MidEast waters. This consists of 40 carriers, warships and submarines, some nuclear, opposite IRAN - a concentration last seen just before the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The US, France, Britain and Canada are finalizing preparations for a partial naval blockade of Iran imports. Iran will retaliate by shutting the Strait of Hormuz oil route chokepoint, in which case the US is ready to reopen it. Washington is deploying forces as back-up for a possible Israeli military attack on Iran. Then there is the Caucasian war between Russia and Georgia. While Russia has strengthened its stake in Caspian oil resources by its overwhelming military intervention against Georgia, the Americans are investing might in defending the primary Persian Gulf oil sources of the West and the Far East. NATO forces in Persian Gulf, debka: U.S. ship heads for Arctic Aug 11 U.S. ship heads for Arctic to define territory. A U.S. Coast Guard cutter will embark on an Arctic voyage this week to determine the extent of the continental shelf north of Alaska and map the ocean floor, data that could be used for oil and natural gas exploration. Russia planted its flag on the ocean floor of the North Pole in 2007 and claimed 460,000 square miles of Arctic waters as theirs. -Reuters Muslims buying America Muslims buying America like there is no tomorrow. Guess what? There IS no tomorrow. A cataclysmic storm is brewing over the United States. Arab Islamic oil barons buying foreclosed property from Americans is a growing threat to the national security and sovereignty of the US. Islamic colonization of the US will escalate as Arabs buy American real estate. Islamic Sharia law may be imposed on anyone who would rent Islamic owned real estate. Throughout the Old Testament when God's people were rebellious and disobedient, judgment came in the form of invasion. Abortion (murder), homosexual rights and marriage, pornography, Biblical truth held as hate speech, electing immoral leadership are all ways that this nation has turned its back on God. America looks like Babylon where the Lord pronounced judgment in Jeremiah 51:14 "Surely, I will fill you with men, as with locusts (muslims), and they shall raise a battle cry against you." Muslims are often referred to as locusts. Islam is taking root in America, and we are selling our inheritance.

It is called a 'separation' but under Canadian law, separation is a preliminary step in divorce proceedings, lasting 9 months. His questionable 'revival' meetings have brought many christian leaders to warn the sheep about this man. He upset christians when he said he talked to an angel in his hotel room, wore a T-shirt with a skeleton on it. They were horrified when they heard him describe how he tackled a man and knocked his tooth out during prayer. Andrew Strom Gog and Magog - another viewpoint "Gog" is Georgia (read GeOrGia), its capitol Tblisi is Tubal. This is a long article, interesting take, I have seen some support, such as OPEC in the shilohouse writings. DISCERN. No one is 100% right. Click on picture of Jesus standing at the door, SHILOHOUSE WAKE UP CALL Gog and Magog - another viewpoint: OPEC, The 10 Crowns, G7:
WAKE UP CALL in 3 parts, shilohouse: Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 (These are called the Apocalyptic books) The last day's alignment of political power may be decidedly different from what many have believed. The "bear" is a crucial part of the final one world order of the Antichrist. Some say the bear is IRAN. Russia, Iran, Syria, Lebanon are so closely linked as to be inseparable. Where does Turkey fit in? "And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority." - Revelation 13:2 The 4 beasts are 4 kings [or kingdoms] which shall arise out of the earth. The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. - Daniel 7:1, 23 The "little horn" is described in Revelation. One layer of the ten kings is an Islamic confederacy, OPEC. Israel is "the little horn" that finds itself in military conflict with OPEC. While the identification of Israel as the little horn does not exhaust the prophecy (on another level the "little horn" is the Antichrist himself), this perspective plainly predicts that we will see Israel destroy ("pluck up") at least 3 of her current Islamic opponents in the near future. Ezekiel 38:22 clearly shows that Gog and Magog will be utterly destroyed "with pestilence and with blood, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone" The identification of Russia as Gog is impossible since Russia is an integral part of the beast empire of the Antichrist well after the invasion of Israel.
