*Herod's Gate In Jerusalem
Reopened*<http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3919408,00.html>
Herod's Gate, the iconic gate leading into the Muslim Quarter of the Old
City of Jerusalem, has reopened after a four-month restoration project. The
Herod's Gate conservation project was spearheaded by the Israel Antiquities
Authority Conservation Department, and included extensive cleaning of the
wall's facades and stones and the removal of dirt, particles and moisture
penetrating into the fabric of the city wall. The electrical and water
infrastructures around the gate's facades were also removed and reinstalled.
"The newly restored Herod's Gate will bring new life to one of the most
famous entrances into the Old City of Jerusalem and provide some extra
excitement for travelers arriving in Israel this summer," says Arie Sommer,
Israel commissioner for Tourism, North and South America. Built in the 16th
century by the Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, Herod's Gate, also known as
the Gate of the Flowers, was originally a patrolled gate restricting
entrance to people and unharnessed animals. An opening was breached in the
gate's northern façade during the end of the nineteenth century, which
provided direct passage into the Old City of Jerusalem. Remains of the
sentry post that protected the original entrance can still be seen in the
gate's eastern façade.

Gov. Paterson is counting on a Madonna-blessed higher power to lead him out
of the mess in Albany. The lame-duck governor has begun wearing a red string
kabbalah bracelet - just like the Material Girl - in an eyebrow-raising bid
to deflect ill will. "It was explained to the governor that the red string
is a symbol of protection [that] wards off problems and tribulations,"
Paterson spokesman Morgan Hook said. "His attitude was that he'll take all
the help he can get." Paterson could be forgiven for turning to a little
divine protection. In the past six months he's found himself under
investigation, dumped his reelection bid as a result, and wrestled with the
Legislature over the state budget. So he's apparently trying his luck with
the trendy talisman favored by followers of the mystical Jewish discipline.
But unlike Madonna, Demi Moore and Britney Spears, Paterson is not yet one
of the devoted, a spokesman said. "Kabbalah didn't change his life, just to
be clear here," Hook said. Either way, Paterson may not be getting all the
spiritual backup he hopes for - the bracelet is customarily worn on the left
wrist, while the governor is seen in photos wearing it on his right.
Paterson's spiritual shift was set in motion this spring when the
Catholic-raised pol visited the Queens burial site of a venerated rabbi. It
was at the Union Field Cemetery in Ridgewood, housing the body of Rabbi
Jacob Joseph, who died in 1902 and whose tomb has become a sacred site
visited by thousands of Jews, that Paterson learned about the little red
string. Kabbalah followers believe that the $26 bracelet wards off the "evil
eye" and brings about good fortune.

*Revived Rome Clears Way To Fast-Track GM Food

*
Brussels is planning to allow each member state to decide whether to grow GM
foods or to ban them. The European Commission today published proposals that
it said were designed to give countries more freedom and flexibility over
the cultivation of genetically modified crops. But opponents of
'Frankenstein foods' warned that the changes would speed up the approval
regime for the controversial crops and ensure that efforts by some states to
block them will be side-stepped. At present, EU countries vote together on
whether to allow applications to grow new GM crops. In future, once
scientists working for the commission approve a new crop or food as safe,
any of the 27 member states will be allowed to grow it or put in on shop
shelves. Other countries, which in the past might have blocked approval,
will be able to implement their own boycott. The commission said the new
regime, which must still be approved by EU governments and the European
Parliament, 'seeks to achieve the right balance between maintaining an EU
authorisation system and the freedom for member states to decide on GM
cultivation in their territory'. Health and consumer policy commissioner
John Dalli said: 'Experience with GM organisms so far shows that member
states need more flexibility to organise the co- existence of GM and other
types of crops such as conventional and organic crops. 'A very thorough
safety assessment and a reinforced monitoring system are priorities in GM
cultivation and are therefore being pursued vigorously.'

The Colonel's army is on the march. Vast swathes of China have fallen under
his dominion, and he is making inroads in India and Russia. It is one of the
great American conquests of our time: the Kentucky Fried Chickenification of
the middle classes in the world's emerging economies. And it all means that
KFC's parent company, Yum! Brands, which also owns Pizza Hut and the Mexican
food outlet Taco Bell, has earned the exclamation mark on which it insists.
With 37,000 restaurants in 110 countries, Yum! even eclipses that more
famous icon of American colonisation, McDonald's, to rank as the world's
largest restaurant chain in terms of numbers of outlets. For Yum! the task
is to forge onward in this virgin territory, but also to shore up its gains
against the hungry McDonald's and other fast-food giants, all the while
trying to keep the home fires burning back in the US, where sales are
challenging because consumers are watching their wallets and their
waistlines. The 23 years since Yum! opened its first KFC in China near
Beijing's Tiananmen Square provide a masterclass in overseas expansion. Its
success to date has tempted a hundred imitations and whose progress in the
future will be one of the most closely watched stories in corporate America.

*U.S. Military Turns To TV For Surveillance
Technology*<http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0710/terror_tv_tech.php3>
As it rapidly expands its drone program over Afghanistan, the U.S. military
is turning to the technology that powers NFL broadcasts, ESPN and TV news to
catalog a flood of information coming from the cameras of its fleet of
unmanned aircraft. U.S. military archives hold 24 million minutes of video
collected by Predators and other remotely piloted aircraft that have become
an essential tool for commanders. But the library is largely useless because
analysts often have no way of knowing exactly what they have, or any way to
search for information that is particularly valuable. To help solve that
problem, the Air Force and government spy satellite experts have begun
working with industry experts to adapt the methods that enable the NFL and
other broadcasters to quickly find and show replays, display on-field
first-down markers and jot John Madden-style notations on the screen.

After various reports of dead and mutated animals, scientists have concluded
damage will infiltrate the entire food chain. Here's a rundown of the early
ecological impact of all that oil, from the AP: * Researches have documented
a massive die-off of pyrosomes -- cucumber-shaped, gelatinous organisms fed
on by endangered sea turtles. * Droplets of oil are being found inside the
shells of young crabs that are a mainstay in the diet of fish, turtles and
shorebirds. * And at the base of the food web, tiny organisms that consume
oil and gas are proliferating. These events could permanently alter the
regional ecosystem. Unfortunately, the Gulf states depend on fishing and
tourism.

The technology -- reminiscent of the personalised advertisements in Steven
Spielberg's sci-fi movie "Minority Report" -- forms part of the Digital
Signage Promotion Project, which is currently in a test phase. A consortium
of 11 railway companies launched the one-year pilot project last month, and
has set up 27 of the high-tech advertising displays in subway commuter
stations around Tokyo. "The camera can distinguish a person's sex and
approximate age, even if the person only walks by in front of the display,
at least if he or she looks at the screen for a second," said a spokesman
for the project. If data for different locations is analysed, companies can
provide interactive advertisements "which meet the interest of people who
use the station at a certain time," the project said in a statement. While
in "Minority Report" advertisers recognise individuals such as Tom Cruise's
character by name and make purchasing suggestions, the Japanese project does
not identify people and only collates demographic data. The technology uses
face recognition software to glean the gender and age group of passers-by,
but operators have promised they will save no recorded images, only the
collated data about groups of people.

Not-So-Minor Prophets; Habakkuk to Malachi
By Dr. Chuck Missler - July 15, 2010
Bookmark and Share
While prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah are well-known, many Christians know
little about the shorter prophetic books of the Old Testament. The books
written by Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, and Malachi may be infrequently
read, but are nonethless powerful voices from men through whom the Spirit of
God breathed. The following overviews of each of these books will hopefully
inspire further study.
Habakkuk:
Habakkuk was probably a priest before he was called as a prophet - at about
the same time as Jeremiah. He thus was also a contemporary of Daniel and
wrote in the declining days just prior to the Babylonian captivity. He
asked a question that most of us ask at some point: Why do bad things happen
to good people? In fact, this is one of Habakkuk's main themes. (This
involves what is called "theodicy": a defense of God's goodness and
omnipotence in a world of evil.) One of his most pivotal passages is:
"The Just shall live by faith." - Habakkuk 2:4
This verse became the primary prompting of Martin Luther which led to the
Reformation and which also appears as a unifying quotation in a "Trilogy" of
Paul's epistles:
1. Who are "the Just"? Paul answers that in Romans1:17.
2. How shall they "live"? Paul answers this in Galations 3:11.
3. "By faith!" Habakkuk declares. Paul focuses on this in Hebrews 10:38.
In fact, this quote immediately precedes the famous "Hall of Faith" of
Hebrews 11! (This also is one of the reasons we believe Paul was the author
of this unsigned epistle.)
Habakkuk's book is not about being initiated by God into the ministry, but
rather he is initiating a dialog with God about the ministry: he is the
initiator and God is the responder. He starts out by wrestling with God and
ends up worshiping Him.
Zephaniah:
Zephaniah was born in the latter reign of Manasseh (686-642 BC) (2 Kings
21:16), and had the honor of being the great-great-grandson of King
Hezekiah. His name means, "whom the Lord hides (or protects)." While he was
almost a contemporary of Habakkuk, Zephaniah's focus, like Joel's, is more
distant as he deals with the Day of the Lord.
There are many fascinating hints in this tiny but remarkable book.
Zephaniah describes the facts that in the end times, when Israel would be
regathered in the land, there would be a return to pure Hebrew (Zeph 3:9),
and that Ethiopia would ultimately bring the Messiah a special gift on Mt.
Zion(Zeph 3:10; Isaiah 18). Zephaniah even hints at the Rapture in verse
2:3! (Cf. Isaiah 26:19-21.)
Haggai:
Haggai was the first of the post-exile prophets, and focuses on the
rebuilding of the Temple after the return from Babylon. (As does Zechariah
on a more visionary level; Haggai is more practical.) His focus is that work
is the measure of life (Hag 1:8, 14; 1 Cor 15:58).
His audience was the believing remnant. They were the right people, living
in the right place, wanting to do the right work, and for the right reasons.
(Does that sound like us?) But their priorities were not right. They were
caught up in their own pursuits, living for themselves rather than for God's
glory. (Ouch! Does that also sound like us?)
Malachi:
We sometimes jokingly call this the "Italian prophet" (by mispronouncing his
name, accenting the second syllable), but this last book of the Old
Testament also features a post-exile prophet. This book, among other things,
includes one of the most fascinating personal challenges found in the Bible.
Several times in the Scriptures, Jesus emphasizes that we are not to "test"
God (Deut 6:16). In fact, this issue is included among the famed
"temptations" of Christ (Matt 4:7; Luke 4:12). Yet, here we find an
astonishing exception, where God actually dares us to put Him to a test!
"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in
mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will
not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there
shall not be room enough to receive it." -Malachi 3:10
Here the Divine Ruler of the Universe puts Himself "into a box" of
commitment and dares us to "prove Him now herewith" by accepting His
challenge! It is the answer to all financial problems, if we will but take
advantage of this audacious promise. This book closes the Old Testament
record with a prophecy of a return "in the spirit of Elijah," and ushers in
the 400-year period that scholars call the "silent years" between the
testaments. The New Testament opens with John the Baptist, the person that
ends the Old Testament (Matt 11:13; Luke 16:16.)
In addition to the various topical excursions encountered within these pithy
books, our commentaries also include a number of discursive addenda: The
Myth of "the Ten Lost Tribes;" Ezekiel's Mysterious 430 Years; and Rapture
Models in the Old Testament, and more. The Holy Spirit always rewards the
diligent. Good hunting!

Canada: Muslim woman will not go to jail for strangling her teenage daughter
with a head scarf
The apotheosis of multiculturalism. Ain't tolerance grand? For everyone
except Aminat Magomadova, that is. Honor-killing mother walks: "Calgary mom
who strangled daughter gets suspended sentence," by Daryl Slade in the
Calgary Herald, July 15 (thanks to Josephine):
CALGARY - The Calgary mother who killed her teenage daughter by
strangling her with a scarf more than three years ago will not have to spend
a day in jail, a judge ruled on Thursday.
But, in suspending the sentence of Aset Magomadova and placing her on
probation for three years, Court of Queen's Bench Justice Sal LoVecchio said
the penalty can still meet the ends of justice.
"At first blush (a suspended sentence) may sound like a get out of jail
free card. It is not," emphasized the judge.
"The court has said the act in question does not merit a period of
incarceration. What the court has done is reserved or to use the word of the
statute, 'suspended' judgment on that point for a period of time on
conditions. If the conditions are satisfied, then the individual will not be
sentenced. If they are breached, the individual will be brought back to the
court to be dealt with further."
Magomadova, 40, a refugee from the wartorn country of Chechnya, was
originally charged with second-degree murder for killing her daughter
Aminat, 14, on Feb. 26, 2007, at their Calgary home.
But LoVecchio deemed she did not intend to kill her, even though such an
act required at least 2 1/2 minutes of continuous strangulation to cause
death, and convicted her last October of the lesser included offence of
manslaughter.
Dhimmi Christians are dead chuffed:
Marilyn Millions, one of Magomadova's sponsors with St. James Anglican
Church, said outside court she was relieved "at the compassion and mercy
that has been shown" by the court.
"There were lots of tears and emotion," she said. "If you've lived
through it and you've gotten to know these people, it's all in the context.
It's a lot different than reading a little bit about it. It's a very
different situation."...

Florida Atheists Sue Over Prayers at City Meetings
Published July 13, 2010
| FoxNews.com
A Central Florida atheist organization has filed a federal lawsuit against
the City of Lakeland over opening city commission meetings with prayer.
The lawsuit comes after the Atheists of Florida voiced specific outrage over
the use of the name "Jesus Christ." An April 5 meeting became heated after a
citizen got into a yelling match with the atheists, prompting commissioners
to recess the meeting.
Courts have ruled invocations at meetings of government bodies are
constitutional under some conditions. Lakeland's policy has been ruled
constitutional by the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which stipulated
that governments must make a reasonable effort to incorporate all religious
faiths.
But Atheists of Florida argues the city isn't following the court's
guidelines.
"Lakeland clearly has Christian-based prayers. They've designated this city
as a Christian city. They've totally excluded any other types of religious
or nonreligious views," EllenBeth Wachs, director of its Lakeland chapter
told TheLedger.com.
The lawsuit contends that the Lakeland policy violates the Establishment
Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The group also
alleges that while attending commission meetings that they were made to feel
uncomfortable because they did not stand during the invocation and omitted
the "under God" phrase in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Guards Corps' prime source of income, imported refined oil products
including gasoline. The Russian and Iranian energy ministers contracted
specifically to "increase cooperation in transit, swaps and marketing of
natural gas as well as sales of petroleum products and petrochemicals."
The accords also set up "a joint bank to help fund bilateral energy
projects."
This latter provision bypasses the US ban on the banks and insurance
companies involved in funding refined oil supplies to Iran by creating a
shared banking instrument for handling the funding of fuel purchases.
Russian insurance firms connected with the new joint bank may insure
shipments.
By this step, Moscow moved to offset the penalties America imposed on Iran
in the wake of UN Security Council sanctions of June 9 and challenged the
United States to blacklist Russian firms by invoking the new US law closing
American markets to companies and banks doing energy business with Iran.
Important multinationals have already complied with this US edict, including
two oil giants, the American-British BP and the French Total - which have
ordered their vast networks of partners and subsidiaries to deny fuel to
Iranian consumers - and Lloyds insurance as well as the United Arab
Emirates.
But punishing Russian breakers of the US sanction could trigger a serious
crisis in relations with Russia.
Sources on Moscow do not believe Obama will find upsetting his newly "reset"
ties with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Russian Prime Minister
Vladimir Putin worth the candle, especially in the light of the new joint
mechanisms and bank for conducting their business.
At the same time, debkafile sources predict that US inaction against the
Russian sanctions-busting transactions with Iran will encourage other
countries and international business interests, particularly in the Caucasus
and Central Asia which share borders with Iran, to follow their lead and
defy the US embargo.
According to the latest rumors flying around the oil markets, China and
Turkey are willing to help Iran evade the fuel sanctions. Pictures have
appeared in some Western media showing long convoys of hundreds of fuel
tankers standing by on the Iraqi Kurdistan border and waiting to cross into
Iran to deliver tons of petroleum.
Even the heavy presence of US and Iraqi troops nearby appears to pose no
deterrent to the prospective traffic - much less its absence on Iran's other
borders.
An important factor too is Putin's personal and active support - disclosed
here by debkafile's Moscow sources - for the mechanisms to break Obama's
anti-Iran fuel embargo.
These mechanisms could not have been set up overnight; they required time
and attention. So they must have been completed by Monday, July 12, when
President Medvedev commented that Iran was closer than ever to building a
nuclear weapon, knowing that the US maneuver for deterring Iran from making
the last leap in its race for a nuke was about to be sabotaged by his own
government.
As for the impact on Israel, debkafile's sources note that the Russian step
has demolished the last remnant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's
strategy which, during all his eighteen months in office, relied on Tehran
being held back from attaining a nuclear weapon by expanded international
sanctions harsh enough to hurt its economy. He trusted Obama's new energy
sanctions to be the ultimate preventative - until Wednesday, when Moscow
stepped in to pull their punch.

*Key News Events*
<http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=2209>*DVD*
*I. A top Bilderberger and former member of President Bill Clinton's
Cabinet, boldly stated that Obama's popularity is so bad that the only thing
that could save him now was another terrorist attack on the scale of 9/11!*
NEWS BRIEF: *Top Clinton
Official/Bilderberger<http://www.infowars.com/top-clinton-official-only-a-terror-attack-can-save-obama/>:
Only A Terror Attack Can Save Obama *", Infowars, July 14, 2010
"A former senior advisor to President Bill Clinton says that the only thing
which can rescue Barack Obama's increasingly tenuous grip on power as his
approval figures continue to plunge is a terror attack on the scale of
Oklahoma City or 9/11, another startling reminder that such events only ever
serve to benefit those in authority."
This last phrase is completely true: terrorist attacks do serve the
interests and further the agenda of the politicians in power! The attacks of
9/11 are a perfect example. President Bush and Congress were able to pass
the draconian Patriot Acts I and II, which take our freedoms and
Constitutionally-guarnteed liberties away on paper. The attacks of 9/11 so
traumatized the American people that, now, new laws are being enacted even
though the "terrorist attack" failed. Thus, we had the spectacle of the
failed "Shoe Bomber" and the equally failed "Times Square Bomber".
America today is an Absolute Dictatorship on paper. Our freedoms are gone,
on paper.
The only reason we are still walking around today is because the time for
overthrowing our present government has not yet come; all plans will
culminate in the outbreak of World War III. As former Satanist, Doc Marquis,
has emphasized time and time again, not one part of the Plan will jump out
ahead of the others. World War III is the watershed event in all of modern
history, for out of this war, Antichrist will come striding!
Now, let us return to our featured news story.
"... Robert Shapiro makes it clear that Obama is relying on an October
surprise in the form of a terror attack to rescue his presidency. 'The
bottom line here is that Americans don't believe in President Obama's
leadership," said Shapiro, adding, "He has to find some way between now and
November of demonstrating that he is a leader who can command confidence
and, short of a 9/11 event or an Oklahoma City bombing, I can't think of how
he could do that'."
Does anyone remember that leaders were saying much the same thing during
Bush's eight years? We captured some of these misinformation articles in a
comprehensive report, NEWS1888 <http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1888.cfm>,
entitled, "SINCE 9/11 THE WORLD HAS CONTINUALLY BEEN SUBJECTED TO GLOBAL
"WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS". We posted this summary article in January, 2004.
We demonstrated that false official warnings of another terrorist attack
permeated the news from 9/11/2001 through January, 2004, when we posted this
summary. But, our point is that this kind of false alarm has been quite
common since the attacks of 9/11. Therefore, we can expect that there will
be NO "October Surprise" during the Fall election campaign.
This news story is just another "Rumors of War".

*II. Officials continue to condition Americans to the concept that all
illegal immigrants should be included in a North American Union citizenship.
*
*The stringent Arizona law is the catalyst by which the Illuminati seeks to
convince Americans that North American citizenship is the only way to solve
the illegal immigrant problem!*
NEWS BRIEF: "*U.S. District Court Judge to hear lawsuit vs. Arizona's
immigration law<http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/2010/07/15/20100715arizona-immigration-law-lawsuit-hearing.html>
*", The Arizona Republic, July 15, 2010
"Arizona's new immigration law will get its first day in court today.
U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton will hear a motion to dismiss the
lawsuit filed by Phoenix police Officer David Salgado as well as a motion to
prevent Senate Bill 1070 from going into effect July 29. Salgado's lawsuit
is one of seven filed by various individuals and groups challenging the
immigration law. His claim alleges that, among other things, SB 1070 would
require him to use race as a primary factor in enforcing the law and thus
would force him to violate the rights of Latinos. It also claims that the
state law is preempted by federal law."
Of course, Arizona officials deny that this is the case, claiming that these
challenges are twisting the facts.
"The attorneys defending SB 1070 on behalf of Gov. Jan Brewer have filed
motions stating that the state law is not preempted by federal law and that
both Chicanos Por La Causa and Salgado's concerns are speculative instead of
imminent. They have asked the judge to dismiss Salgado's lawsuit."
"The law makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally. It states
that an officer engaged in a lawful stop, detention or arrest shall, when
practicable, ask about a person's legal status when reasonable suspicion
exists that the person is in the U.S. illegally."
An Arizona sheriff, whose men are on the front lines carrying out all laws,
is boldly defending the new immigration law.
NEWS BRIEF: "*Arizona Sheriff Defends Immigration
Law<http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/07/13/arizona-sheriff-defends-immigration-law/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A%2Bfoxnews/national%2B%28Text%2B-%2BNational%29>
*", Fox News, July 13, 2010
"OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- An Arizona sheriff known for his tough stance on
illegal immigration has told a group of nearly 2,000 Kansas Republicans that
his state needs its new immigration law because the federal government isn't
doing its job ... Kobach helped write the Arizona law that directs officers
to question people who have been stopped for another crime about their
immigration status if there's a reasonable suspicion they're in the U.S.
illegally. Arpaio says the law will allow his state to protect its
residents."
Protestors adamantly claims that this new law will lead to "Racial
Profiling".
We believe this entire episode is simply and only an outward working of the
classic *"Six Step Attitudinal Change
Plan"*<http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1055.html>
.
In this Arizona illegal immigration law, the law itself is Step #1, "Some
practice so offensive that it can scarcely be discussed in public is
advocated by a RESPECTED expert in a RESPECTED forum."
Arizona lawmakers passed this controversial law and the governor signed it.
These are the RESPECTED experts speaking from their offices -- the RESPECTED
forum. Now, the protestors and the official Federal Government challenge,
represents Step #4, " In the process, sheer repetition of the shocking
subject under discussion gradually dulling its effect."
After the lawsuits provides enough "sheer repetition", someone will step
forward with a bold counterproposal, a hybrid concept which is neither the
original status quo ("Thesis", Illegal immigration as it is today), nor the
bold reform of the Arizona law now under fire ("Antithesis"). This new idea
will be a middle position ("Synthesis") and will propose to make all these
people North American citizens.
That is the bottom line goal in this entire affair.
* <http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=2233>III. Conservative and/or
Republican and/or Patriot sites are again screaming that this economy is
about to go through meltdown of enormous proportions.*
*Cutting Edge has been maintaining since June, 1998, that the Illuminati
does not intend to push the economy into a collapse until the beginning of
World War III.*
*Amidst the gloom and doom of Conservative and/or Republican and/or Patriot
sites, let us examine some reasons to be confident that an economic meltdown
is not going to happen.*
NEWS BRIEF: "*Companies pile up cash but hesitant to add jobs",
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/14/AR2010071405960.html>
*The Washington Post, July 15, 2010
"Corporate America is hoarding a massive pile of cash. It just doesn't want
to spend it hiring anyone. Nonfinancial companies are sitting on $1.8
trillion in cash ... And as several major firms report impressive earnings
this week, the money continues to flow into firms' coffers."
This news is good news, because it means that American corporations have the
money to hire, and will begin doing so once Consumer Confidence rises and
Retail Sales rise, and jobs are being added across the breadth of this
economy.
NEWS BRIEF: "*New jobless claims fall to lowest level in 2
years<http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Initial-claims-for-jobless-apf-2205825152.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=2&asset=&ccode=>",
*Yahoo Finance, July 15, 2010
"New applications for unemployment benefits fell sharply last week while
manufacturing activity cooled in June and wholesale prices dipped, offering
mixed signals on the economic recovery. The Labor Department said Thursday
that new claims dropped by 29,000 to 429,000, the lowest level since August
2008."
We are getting close to the level of 400,000 new jobless claims, a figure
which has historically been viewed as the line between economic growth and
economic downturn. A figure below 400,000 means economic growth while a
figure below this level means economic downturn. The economy is getting
closer and closer to dipping below this line.
Offering further encouragement, American automakers have decided not to shut
their plants down for the Summer as they usually do, because they see demand
increasing and want to meet the higher demand for new cars.
NEWS BRIEF: "*Wholesale prices drop 0.5 percent in
June<http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Wholesale-prices-drop-05-apf-1394602891.html?x=0>",
*Yahoo Finance, July 15, 2010
"Wholesale prices fell for a third consecutive month as another drop in
energy costs and the biggest plunge in food costs in eight years banished
inflation in June. Wholesale prices dropped 0.5 percent last month,
following declines of 0.1 percent in April and 0.3 percent in May, the Labor
Department reported Thursday."
This story on the lack of inflation is very important and equally
instructive. Gloom and doom people have been screaming for over a year now
that the massive Government spending was going to set off such a
conflagration of inflation that the entire economy could collapse. Remember,
we quoted New Age author, Bill Cooper, several years ago, where he stated
that Illuminati economic experts had achieved such tight control over the
economy that they could guide it as precisely as an Army technician cal
guide a missile in flight.
NEWS BRIEF: "*Mortgage rates remain at lowest level in
decades<http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Mortgage-rates-remain-at-apf-877425484.html?x=0>",
*Yahoo Finance, July 15, 2010
"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mortgage rates were unchanged this week at the lowest
point in decades ... Government-sponsored mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said
Thursday the average rate for 30-year fixed loans this week was 4.57
percent. That's the same as a week earlier and the lowest since Freddie Mac
began tracking rates in 1971. The last time home loan rates were lower was
the 1950s, when most mortgages lasted just 20 or 25 years."
Why, then, are sales of new homes struggling right now? The housing market
is still bloated with foreclosed homes and home buyers are snapping up the
deals. Once the glut of foreclosed homes dissipates, new home sales will
start to increase, aided by these really low mortgage rates.
I find more news stories offering hope for the economy than I do about a
possible economic meltdown. We know the Illuminati Plan and realize that
they do not want a collapse until the World War III breaks out, and that
requires the final formation of the *10
Supernations*<http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n2363.cfm>.
On the other hand, we are aware that many people have lost their jobs and
continue to lose their jobs, and we certainly do not intend to minimize this
hardship. But we know the Illuminati Plan specifically does not want a
premature collapse -- prior to World War III -- and they certainly do not
want tens of millions to go back to church and to get right with Jesus.
Finally, remember that the news outlets screaming economic meltdown want you
to be so scared that you will buy their "Survival Stuff" and get enough
seeds that you can plant your "Survival Garden". Since many people gain a
perverse pleasure in being scared, these places are racking in the dough.
Remember, , there will be NO economic collapse until the final world war is
underway.
