This was a government-ordered operation. Bush personally signed the order. He personally authorized the attacks. He is guilty of treason and mass murder." - Stanley Hilton This is something I have heard and I DO believe our govt was involved in 911 but I always hoped Bush was not part of the planning. Bush Authorized 9/11 Attacks: Bush intends to attack IRAN US President George W. Bush intends to attack Iran in the upcoming months, before the End of His Term. During President Bush's trip to Israel in May 2008 Israel was told that Bush believes that military action against Iran is called for, and the USA intends to attack Iran in the upcoming months before he leaves office January 20, 2009. The only reason for a delay is a hesitancy on the part of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rica and Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The recent Hezbollah take-over of Lebanon is advancing an American attack. Bush intends to attack Iran. AO: Lebanon May 21 Hizbullah gets veto power in unity government. Lebanon's balance of power goes to the HELLZIES - Hellzballah-Syria-IRAN. Lebanese army chief Gen. Michel Suleiman - president-in-waiting. The only candidate for president, chief of staff Gen. Michel Suleiman, expects to be elected by a parliamentary consensus before the end of the week. Heads of the pro-government majority factions and Hizballah reached an agreement in Qatar aimed at pulling Lebanon back from the brink of civil war. Lebanon's had no president since November, 2007. One will be elected immediately, a new government will be formed with 11 ministries out of 16 for Hizballah. The HELLZIES will not disarm. Hizballah's armed militia won formal national acceptance and the right to possess an independent weapons arsenal. While the pro-government Sunni, Christian and Druze faction heads at Doha accepted the standing of Hizballah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, as a central national figure, they also agreed to drop his archenemy, the pro-US Fouad Siniora, as prime minister in the new government. The Hizballah walkover marks the most resounding strategic debacle the West and Israel have experienced since Hamas forcible takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2005 and Israel's failure to smash the Shiite terrorists' armed strength in 2006. Hizbullah gets veto power in unity government: Lebanon, debka: Lebanon deal, BBC: The Hellzballah coup in Lebanon May 23 Hellzballah has effectively taken over control of the reins of power in Lebanon in a military coup as the U.S. and Israel stood by and watched. IRAN now has a new power base right over Israel's northern border in what was formerly the one Christian country in the Middle East. Hezbollah built up its militia forces in Lebanon, eventually becoming the largest military force in the country. Beginning about 18 months ago, Hezbollah sent its operatives into the streets of Beirut, occupying it and disrupting business as usual. Then this month they stepped up the pressure on the Lebanese government by launching an armed military takeover. The Hezbollah coup in Lebanon: May Headlines Rumor there is something going on in SYRIA-TURKEY, mobilizing, staging. Israel and Syria remain technically at war over the Golan Heights. Turkey mediating Israel-Syria talks - media spin. Turkey Talk is media spin, ynet: A naval blockade imposed on Iran is suggested by Olmert. Russia may be selling Syria arms. (JPost) Israel is giving part of Jerusalem to Russia, not 'selling' it but rather "returning" the area to its former owners. Still a sin. It is reported that Iran's fingerprints are everywhere in the Gaza conflict. ISRAEL HANDS UP, Israeli border guard: Golan terror base After an Israel-Syria deal, the Golan will become terror base. EVERYONE WITH a BRAIN KNOWS THIS! What will Bashar Assad do if Syria gets the Golan Heights, which is sovereign Israeli territory? This is how SYRAN conquored Lebanon this month. A million Syrians will be settled in the Golan and establish terrorism against Israel. Golan terror base, ynet: Powerful Palestinian Truck Bomb May 23 Palestinian suicide truck packed with 4.5 tons explosives, most powerful ever, blows up outside Gaza-Israel crossing. The explosion occurred on the Gaza side of the border, 50 meters short of the Erez crossing. It wrecked the border terminal, blasted a big hole in the border wall and shattered windows in Israel buildings. The truck bomb was followed by a group of Palestinian gunmen in a jeep. A second bomb vehicle heading out of northern Gaza was struck by the Israeli air force. (May have been headed for Ashkelon or Tel Aviv.) Truck bomb, debka: Truck bomb set off at Erez crossing, ynet: Palestinians attack May 23 Israeli forces fight off sustained Palestinian assaults on Gaza border. An Israeli soldier was injured by Palestinian anti-tank fire. Hamas gunmen also attacked an Israeli patrol. At least two gunmen were killed in the return fire. Two more Palestinian terrorists were killed laying bombs. The IDF broke up a rioting Gaza mob sent by Hamas to smash through the border fence at the Karni crossing. One Palestinian was killed. debka Olmert, Assad stage peace stunt May 21 The Israel-Syrian peace talks in Istanbul with Turkish mediation was announced May 21 in Jerusalem, Damascus and Ankara. Olmert is due in Washington DC in June. For the Bilderberg meeting? To decide if he resigns? Bush is angry with Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert for keeping him in the dark. Golan communities accuse Olmert of acting against the national interest and will and placing Israel in danger. They said he is unfit to continue in office. THEY ARE RIGHT! Both the Israeli and Syrian leaders are reported to have pounced on this step at very short notice to offset their gathering woes. Hizballah's Hassan Nasrallah signed off on an intra-Lebanese factional deal that gives him veto power in the new government in Beirut, instead of following directives from Damascus and Tehran to carry on fighting. This made Nasty Nasrallah strong and shut out Assad, angering him. -DEBKAfile As fast as I post NEWS, it changes - hourly, not daily. The dizzying YES / NO news in Israel I hate to even bother to try! Olmert must resign Netanyahu calls for new elections Olmert said Nothing can destroy Israel. That sunk the Titanic! Israeli PM Ehud Olmert said he would resign if indicted on bribery charges. Israeli lawmakers are demanding Olmert's resignation after police revealed he is under investigation for receiving large amounts of cash in bribes. Responses have ranged from outrage at the fact that Olmert is undergoing yet another criminal probe - his fifth since taking office - to the conviction that he is paying the price for pushing ahead with plans to divide the Land of Israel and give half to the Palestinian Arabs. Netanyahu calls for new elections: Bribery allegations, JNW: Olmert must resign: Jerusalem scolds France for talking to Hamas May 20 French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner arrives in Israel today. Jerusalem asked France to clarify their contact with Hamas to help free the kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilead Shalit. Yet the scandal-ridden Olmert has approved Gaza truce negotiations with Hamas terrorists who are sworn to destroy Israel. Nazi Pelosi's satanic request was that Israel NOT clean up Gaza. Hamas demands their own army! DUH! They already have one - with weaponry! Jerusalem scolds France for talking to Hamas, DEBKA: May 20 IDF struck Palestinian terrorist group that fired a rocket into Sderot. As usual, Hamas had their children with them for propaganda should one be accidently killed. Israeli residents awoke to the sounds of Palestinian rockets crashing into their towns again. An hour later the IDF struck the cell of rocket launchers. ALL countries have the right of self defense. Osama scolds Iran-ballah May 20 Osama blasted Shiite Iran for its efforts to dominate the MidEast. Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden exploits the Palestinian issue to fan the flames of the Sunni-Shiite dispute in Iraq and Lebanon, telling them to get Gaza. He singles out Hellzballah leader Hassan 'Nasty' Nasrallah for an Arab insult. Bin Laden attacked Nasty for allowing the deployment of UN peacekeepers in South Lebanon "to protect the Jews." Hint to Binny, the blind UN protects NO JEWS! Osama bin Laden scolds Hizballah, Iran, debka: USA Furious at Israel for not helping Lebanon May 18 Israel was poised to strike Hellzballah May 11th. The Hellzies were taking Beirut and Olmert had the go-ahead from Washington for a military strike to halt the Hizballah advance. Bush would not call off his visit to Israel even if the Israeli army was still fighting in Lebanon and Hizballah struck back against Tel Aviv. Bush is angry with Israel for its passivity. (What does Bush want - the annihilation of Israel? O yeah thats right, he does, with that damned Palestinian state idea.) Hizballah could send 600 missiles a day against northern Israel. Israel passed on helping Lebanon, debka: Its TREASON, Nazi Pelosi May 19 This wicked witch goes to the mideast and broadcasts her opposition to war! That is called TREASON! I do not favor attacking IRAN, but I am not going to another country to say it! Iraq leaders wouldnt even meet this clown. U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in Jerusalem May 18th. She opposed Israel's self defense in Gaza, and an attack on IRAN. She falsely claimed that Barack Hussein Obama will support Israel. He wont, NO Muslim would. Obama termed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict a "constant sore" quoting his pal Rashid Khalidi who supports Palestinian terror. Obama is a very dangerous fool. All who vote for him curse America and Israel. Likud party leader and former prime minister of Israel, Benjamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu said the Olmert-Kadima government has no mandate to negotiate on Israel's borders. Any land Israel gives away will become a terror base for terrorists. It already is now! RAT PLAGUE hits Bangladesh May 18 120 000 people facing famine where an invasion of rats led to widespread crop destruction. People are struggling to feed themselves and ate wild roots from the jungle ever since the area was overrun by millions of rats. The flowering of bamboo forests for the first time in 50 years in the affected areas led to the rat-flood. The rodents multiplied by feeding on bamboo blossoms, rice stalks and vegetables. Villagers said that whatever they tried to grow was devoured within hours. Rat plague hits Bangladesh: City clerk wont help SIN GOD JUDGES A WHOLE NATION FOR THIS SIN AND FOR ABORTION! City clerk suing not to wed homos, saying she can't go against what it says in the Bible. GOD BLESS HER! A city clerk in England is suing her employer for the right not to officiate at homosexual weddings because of her faith. She said, "I feel strongly about maintaining my Christian beliefs and conscience. I don't understand why the council can't use other people who have no problem with the ceremonies." Officials said she could be fired unless she agrees to preside at the ceremonies. Folks, thats the beast system, its HERE NOW.

Homosexuality is changeable, and it should NOT be promoted to kids! Homosexual lifestyle is a perverted, high-risk, dangerous and immoral behavior. GOD FORGIVES - when people REPENT. He does NOT forgive sin when people call it normal. GOD IS NOT POLITICLY CORRECT! School administrators refuse participation in pro-homosexual event. Nationwide outrage against public school participation in the sin-friendly 2008 Day of Silence resulted in hundreds of students boycotting the observance and some administrators canceling pro-homosexual activities. Parent and community protests against school involvement made all the difference. America needs to STAND UP AGAINST SIN! The Day of Silence Walk Out was extremely successful. In many high schools, hundreds of students stayed home. Kids should not mock or tease kids who are different, just avoid them. Gay day squashed: San Diego Explosion May 20 An explosion rocked a hotel under construction, ripping off part of the building's facade, sending debris flying and injuring 14 workers, five critically.

A huge migration of frogs and toads May 19 caused thousand of Chinese to fear another earthquake. These critters did this in the days before the May 12th 8.0 quake. Frogs fled, other animals behaved oddly, shortly before the earth shook. Water mysteriously drained from ponds. Hours before China's 8.0 earthquake, animals at a local zoo began acting strangely. Animal behavior is an early warning sign of a quake. Elephants swung their trunks wildly, lions and tigers, which normally would be asleep at midday, were walking around. Five minutes before the quake hit, dozens of peacocks started screeching. A mud flow has buried more than 200 relief workers in China. 2 women rescued from the rubble of a collapsed residential building, a week after the 8.0 earthquake. Their rescue took 8 hours.

California Quake Big One details, AP: GLOBAL WARMING HOAX 31,000 scientists reject global warming The global warmng hoax is one way to hasten the New World Order. It is a deliberate attack on American supremacy and a way to control populations. NO informed expert endorses the idiotic AlGore movie! More than 31,000 scientists including 9,000 Ph.D.s in fields including atmospheric science, climatology, Earth science and environment have signed a petition rejecting global warming, the assinine assumption that the human production of greenhouse gases is damaging Earth's climate. There is NO scientific evidence humans are causing catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth. What do scientists know? This myth, this hoax, this fraud is being taught to children in public schools throughout America as if it were established fact. This hoax is being spoon-fed to Americans by the millions in newspaper articles and TV news scare stories every day. This hoax is manipulating people around the world in movies and TV programming. This hoax is being rammed down the throats of college and university students in science classes and courses that have no connection to science or politics whatsoever.
