UK and US military chiefs drawing up a list of targets for precision-guided bombs and missiles to smash Assad's arsenal

WHAT TARGETS WOULD THE COALITION HIT?
The favoured option among top brass is for limited Western action using ‘stand-off’ weapons from long distance to disrupt Assad’s ability to carry out chemical attacks and damage his military machine.

Intelligence on targets would come from pilotless drones patrolling the skies above Syria and special forces on the ground.






Four battleships have been moved to within striking range of Syria as President Obama weighs his options following a reported use of chemical weapons against citizens on Wednesday

Military analysts believe an attack could last between 24 and 48 hours and would target key regime installations.

These would include Syria’s integrated air defence system, command and control bunkers, communications hubs, government buildings, missile sites and Assad’s air force.

The dictator’s use of air power has been a huge advantage for the regime, and eliminating or weakening it would tilt the odds toward the rebels.

Other military options are airstrikes on Syrian units believed to be responsible for chemical attacks. Reports last week claimed the chemical weapons were fired by the 155th Brigade of the 4th Armoured Division of the Syrian Army.

This division, which has a military base in a mountain range west of Damascus is under the command of the president’s brother, Maher Assad.

WHAT BASES WOULD BE USED?
US-led strikes would be launched from warships or submarines patrolling in the eastern Mediterranean or Persian Gulf, or from combat aircraft that can fire missiles from hundreds of miles away.

A US Navy battlegroup including four destroyers is already in the eastern Mediterranean and has moved closer to Syria in preparation for action.


The Syrian regime says allegations of a chemical attack are 'absolutely baseless'



The apparent chemical attack on Wednesday has led to calls for Western powers to do more to end the bloodshed in Syria

They are armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles capable of hitting a target from up to 1,200 miles away. Around 124 of the 18ft-long, £300,000 warheads were fired by US and British forces against Colonel Gaddafi’s forces during the Libyan war.

The US Air Force could also send B-2 stealth bombers to pound Assad’s military installations. Based in Missouri, they can cover the entire world with just one refuelling.


The most expensive aircraft ever – at a cost of £600million each – they are almost invisible to radar and can carry 40,000lbs of bombs.

As well as having F-16 fighter jets and refuelling aircraft based at airfields in the Middle East, the US also has defensive Patriot missile batteries positioned in Jordan, which neighbours Syria.

WHAT FIREPOWER CAN BRITAIN OFFER?

Despite multi-billion-pound cuts to the defence budge that have seen top brass axe fast jets, warships, spy planes and 30,000 troops, the armed forces can still contribute to an assault on Syria.
The Royal Navy could fire Tomahawk missiles from its nuclear-powered Trafalgar-class submarines – one of which is constantly on patrol in the Middle East.

The subs carry a giant payload of the super-accurate missiles.

Heavily-armed RAF Tornados could in theory fly from RAF Marham in Norfolk to attack targets in Syria – a 4,200 mile round trip – or be deployed to Cyprus to launch bombing raids from there.
Carrying precision-guided Storm Shadow missiles, the air crews could devastate enemy defences including radar stations, anti-aircraft batteries and supply lines.

The Storm Shadows have a range of more than 150 miles, allowing the aircraft to attack targets deep inside enemy territory without getting too close to anti-air defences.

The 1,300kg missile, which technicians programme with the target details before the mission, then uses hi-tech GPS systems and terrain-following equipment to fly low under radar to its detonation point.

Despite being fired from 150 miles away, the Storm Shadow is accurate to up to 6ft, reducing collateral damage.



David Cameron and Barack Obama discussed the plan in a 40-minute phone call at the weekend and will finalise the details within 48 hoursWHAT ARE THE DANGERS?

There are enormous risks associated with any military action in Syria.

Assad has built up formidable air defences, supplied by Russia, which are capable of downing a US or UK fighter jet, putting our servicemen and women in danger.

There are also the dangers of collateral damage from airstrikes, such as accidentally killing or injuring civilians and handing the regime a propaganda victory.

And if missiles targeted Syrian chemical plants, leaving them without protection, there is a risk of deadly nerve agents and other substances falling into the hands of terrorists – allowing them to launch a potentially catastrophic attack on the West.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT?
Military leaders are concerned that a series of ‘stand-off’ strikes will be the first step on a path that leads to full involvement in the Syrian conflict.

General Martin Dempsey. chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned this week that airstrikes ‘would not be militarily decisive, but it would commit us decisively to the conflict’.

His words echoed those of General Sir David Richards, who last month stepped down after three years as Chief of the Defence Staff.

He said the UK must be prepared to ‘go to war’ if it wanted to stop the bloodshed inflicted by Assad and stop his chemical weapons falling into the hands of Al Qaeda militants.

But his remarks fuelled concerns about ‘mission creep’.


Hundreds died in the alleged chemical attacks on Wednesday, including many women and children



Activists say that somewhere between 200 and 1,300 were killed in the chemical weapons attack on Wednesday near Damascus. Syria has one of the largest stockpiles of chemical weapons of any country

‘If you wanted to have the material impact in the Syrian regime’s calculations that some people seek... you have to be able, as we did successfully in Libya, to hit ground targets,’ he said.

‘You have to establish a ground control zone. You have to take out their air defences. You also have to make sure they can’t manoeuvre, which means you have to take out their tanks and armoured personnel carriers.

‘So you would be going to war if that is what you want to do.’

HOW WILL RUSSIA AND IRAN REACT?
Despite the chemical attack violating one of Barack Obama’s ‘red lines’ he is not gung ho for military action.

He and David Cameron are keenly aware of the danger of inflaming tensions in the Middle East, where Syria has two powerful allies in Russia and Iran.

Russia has urged Assad to co-operate with a probe by UN inspectors but claims there is growing evidence Syrian rebels were behind the attack.

The Kremlin, which has defiantly blocked any action against Syria by the UN Security Council, has also hit out at ‘unacceptable’ calls for the use of force against the regime in Damascus.

The West is also at pain s to not become embroiled in a proxy Cold War over Syria.

One Whitehall source said: ‘Without a nod from Russia, whether in public or in private, it would be problematic to act against Syria.’

Iran has also spoken strongly against any intervention in Syria.

Financial Calamity It's Coming, Be Worried, Be Careful

Iran issue first explicit warning to Israel if US attacks Syria

A senior Syrian official on Monday issued a first direct warning that if attacked, his country would retaliate against Israel. Khalaf Muftah, a senior Baath Party official who used to serve as Syria’s assistant information minister, said in a radio interview that Damascus would consider Israel “behind the [Western] aggression and [it] will therefore come under fire.”

“We have strategic weapons and we’re capable of responding,” he said. “Normally the strategic weapons are aimed at Israel.”

Muftah concluded with a warning that “If the US or Israel make the mistake of taking advantage of the chemical issue… the region will go up in flames… that will affect security not only in the region but across the world.”

His words were echoed by Iranian officials, who on Monday shrugged off the threat of a US attack on its close ally Syria, but said that if such a strike were to take place, Israel would suffer.

“[The Americans] are incapable of starting a new war in the region, because of their lacking economic capabilities and their lack of morale,” said Mohammad Reza Naqdi, the commander of the Republican Guards’ elite Basij force.

“No military attack will be waged against Syria,” said Hossein Sheikholeslam, a member of Iran’s Islamic Consultative Assembly. “Yet, if such an incident takes place, which is impossible, the Zionist regime will be the first victim of a military attack on Syria.”

Israeli military officials have indicated they believe it unlikely that Syria would target Israel if the US or others intervened, but Israel has reportedly been taking security precautions just in case.

“Our hand is always on the pulse,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday. “Our finger is a responsible one and if needed, is on the trigger. We will always know how to protect our citizens and our country against those who come to injure us or try to attack us.”

The Syrian and Iranian statements Monday came as Britain reportedly pushed for US action on Syria in the wake of a horrific alleged chemical weapons attack on civilians outside Damascus. According to a reportfrom the Times of London, British Prime Minister David Cameron wants a strike in the coming days while outrage over the alleged attack is still fresh. British Foreign Minister William Hague said in an interview with the BBC on Monday that action could be taken even without the full support of the UN Security Council.

Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Western nations calling for military action against Syria have no proof the Syrian government is behind the alleged chemical weapons attack.

France, Britain, Israel and some US congressmen have said military action against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime should be an option if it has used such weapons. A UN team is on the ground investigating the August 21 attack that left hundreds dead.

Lavrov said in a news conference that the countries calling for action have assumed the role of “both investigators and the UN Security Council” in probing the incident.

“They cannot produce evidence, but keep on saying that the ‘red line’ has been crossed and they cannot wait any longer,” he said.

Lavrov likened the situation in Syria to the run-up before the 2003 military operation in Iraq. He warned against military intervention in Syria, saying “the use of force without a sanction of the UN Security Council is a crude violation of the international law.”

Russia’s foreign policy chief also blamed the Syrian opposition for manipulating reports of the attack in order to derail a peace conference on Syria. Lavrov said Russian and US experts were days away from meeting up to arrange a peace conference in Geneva on Syria.

“This hysteria will definitely work against this meeting,” he said.

In Syria, a UN vehicle belonging to a team investigating the alleged use of chemical weapons in Damascus was shot at by snipers Monday as experts were moving to investigate the incident, which left hundreds dead.

“I don’t have any doubts that it will be said that the firing came from the other side. But all this is moving in one direction and doesn’t inspire optimism,” Lavrov said.

Italy Stocks Slide As Government Crisis Deepens

The last time Italy was close to a full out collapse was in November 2011 when ECB's then-recently appointed new head Mario Draghi forced Berlusconi out following an (ECB uncontrolled) plunge in Italy bonds. It is only fitting that following Bunga Bunga's latest tax fraud conviction, and the resulting power circus, it is Sylvio who threatens Italy's government, and stability, once again.

Italian stocks down most in 2 months on this news...



As Ansa reports, premier Enrico Letta called a snap meeting Monday with core members of his fragile coalition government amid concerns of a government collapse surrounding ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi's possible ouster from the Senate. Joining Letta were Deputy Premier Angelino Alfano, the No.2 in Berlusconi's center-right People of Freedom party, as well as Economy Minister Fabrizio Saccomanni and Regional Affairs Minister Graziano Delrio.

Government sources said the meeting is centered around the controversial IMU property tax, which the cabinet is scheduled to rule on once and for all on Wednesday. The PdL upped threats Monday to topple the government if it does not roll back the tax on primary residences, a major campaign promise of Berlusconi during February elections.

The threat has added to concerns of a government meltdown surrounding a vote in the Senate next month to strip Berlusconi of his seat in the Upper House following his first-ever binding conviction on August 1 for tax fraud. The PdL says it will pull out of the government and force new elections if members of the center-left Democratic Party (PD) vote to ratify the office ban.

And while we understand that nothing in Europe is allowed to trade down ahead of the German elections, not even Greece which over the weekend formally announced its initial third bailout starting bid at €10 billion, today's the FTSE MIB appears to not have gotten the memo, and at last check the Italian stock market was down 2.5% as the severity of the most recent Italian government crisis starts being appreciated.

The Gender Book - Common Misconceptions

I Corinthians 14:33
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

In this post I want to focus on another aspect of homosexuality that is a departure from the divine nature. Yahweh is a God of order. He is not the author of confusion. The entire creation must conform to the divine order, lest it descend into chaos.

The Scripture verse above is often cited, but it is beneficial to consider the context of the apostle Paul’s words. Paul was remonstrating with the believers in Corinth due to the chaotic nature of their meetings. Things were out of order. One of the ways in which this disorder manifested was that the church was abusing the gift of tongues. Many individuals were speaking in tongues at the same time, and there was no interpretation. The din of non-intelligible language was producing a chaotic environment that was benefitting no one. Paul delivered to the church specific instructions to restore order, and benefit, to the church meetings. A few verses later he states.

I Corinthians 14:40
Let all things be done decently and in order.

When the creation conforms to Yahweh’s divine order, there is peace, health, and fruitfulness. When the creation departs from the divine order there is discord, sickness, and barrenness. Many examples could be cited of the negative consequences of mankind deviating from Yahweh’s established order. Not coincidentally, many of the most poignant examples are recent, for as Satan’s influence upon this earth increases, the toxic effects of his evil schemes become more widespread. The introduction of foreign DNA into crop seed, commonly referred to as GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms), is one example of mankind altering the natural arrangement of God with tragic effects.

Monsanto is one of the largest corporations involved in this effort. They have created “terminator” seeds that will not reproduce, making farmers dependent upon purchasing new seed for every crop. They have introduced pesticides into the plant’s DNA to kill insects. They have modified corn and soybean DNA to be resistant to the pesticide known as RoundUp. Monsanto, in collusion with the U.S. government, has suppressed private research into the health effects of these GMO crops, but the research that has emerged reveals that by altering the genetic structure of seeds, the plants are less nutritious, and in many instances introduce sickness, including cancers, to those who consume them. Ranchers have found that livestock that has been fed on GMO corn have developed digestion problems. Cattle have been unable to put on weight when fed GMO grains. They have increased rates of infertility, experience far more stillbirths, etc..

Adding fluoride, a toxin and carcinogen produced as industrial waste, to human drinking water is another example of man trying to “improve” on Yahweh’s divine design of the creation while producing just the opposite effect. Much has been written about the deleterious effect of vaccines. Injecting humans with viral material, heavy metals, and other toxins, as well as using aborted fetal cells to produce the vaccines, has introduced an array of health problems that far outweigh any claimed benefit that has been derived from the vaccines. Because the world media, and national governments, are controlled by a global corporatocracy, the news about the negative impact of tampering with God’s creation order is suppressed, while false claims of great benefit are fed to the populace. The situation is no different when it comes to the promotion of homosexuality.

The image at the top of this post is taken from a publication titled The Gender Book. The publication is available online as a PDF file to be read, printed, and shared with others, and will soon be available as a paperback book. It is intended to be used as a primer to educate people on the subject of human gender.

The author begins his book with the statement:

One of the first things to do was to unpack a lot of inherited beliefs about gender and examine them for myself.

The writer, a man who identifies with the female gender, lists some of these “inherited beliefs,” while sharing his views on them. They include the following:

Gender is obvious.
Nope! The only way to be sure you know how a person identifies is to ask them.

Gender is the same as sex.
No Way! Maybe it matches for you, but not everyone feels that way. The short answer is that sex lives between your legs, while gender lives in between your ears.

Gender is static.
Nope! Gender can change over the course of your life.

There are only two genders.
This misconception is so common, it has its own name - gender binary. Actually, there are at least as many genders as there are cultures, and lots of more helpful ways to think of them than merely masculine and feminine.

The bottom of the page includes the following thought summary.

So if we throw out those assumptions that don’t work, what’s left? It seems clear to me that gender isn’t biology, it isn’t your sexuality, it isn’t always obvious, it isn’t how you were raised or what surgeries you can afford, it isn’t static, and it isn’t how others see you. Gender is simply how you see yourself.

These words describe well the philosophy of Satan regarding the sexes. You cannot tell what gender a person is by looking at them. You cannot even tell what a person’s gender is if you know their sex, and which reproductive organs they have. A person’s gender is not established at birth. It can change throughout their life. Satan would have us to believe that gender is as transitive as the wayward thoughts of man.

People of God, this is foolishness. It is disorder. It is chaos. Such statements stand in stark opposition to the declaration of the Creator.

Genesis 1:27
And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

There are NOT unlimited genders. There are only two genders. They are male and female; masculine and feminine; man and woman. In this same book the author shares the following.





Transgender Umbrella

In The Gender Book, the term transgender is defined as “any individual whose identity crosses over or challenges their society’s traditional gender roles or expressions.” Satan would declare deviancy to be normal. Yahweh has not created any men in the bodies of women, nor women in the bodies of men. Nor is the sex of an individual indeterminate until they reach maturity and “choose” which gender that wish to identify with. Yahweh declares:

Jeremiah 1:5
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you...”

The prophet Isaiah stated:

Isaiah 49:1
Yahweh called Me from the womb; From the body of My mother He named Me.

Yahweh created males with male bodies, and females with female bodies. Gender and sex are one and the same. Many have sought to sow confusion into the subject of gender identity by mentioning that there are some people who are born with indistinct gender. The sex organs of a small number of individuals are not properly formed at birth. The number of people born with this condition is less than .005 percent.

Because of the presence of sin in the world, there are individuals who come from the womb with deformities. Some have physical deformities, and some are mentally handicapped. We clearly recognize such individuals as exceptional. They are not the NORM. A person may be born without arms, but this does not mean that Yahweh’s norm for mankind is to not have arms. To argue that it is normal for men and women to be gender confused because a small number of individuals are born with deformities to their reproductive organs is akin to saying that there is no such thing as normal eyesight because some people are born with visual impairment, or there is not such thing as normal hearing because some individuals are born deaf. We recognize blindness, and deafness, or impairments to sight and hearing, as being abnormal, and corrective measures are taken to restore the normal function if possible. There is no difference in how humanity should treat those born with abnormalities to their reproductive organs.

Yahweh created mankind as male and female. He gave instructions to mankind to guard these gender distinctions. Yahweh commanded His people to not allow confusion to enter into the distinctiveness of the sexes. Yahweh intends for men to behave and appear as men. He intends for women to behave and appear as women.

Deuteronomy 22:5
A woman shall not wear man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh your God.

The Gender Book contains the following pages.




Crossdressers

As a crossdresser, I have a true gender gift, the ability to live and relate comfortably in both the masculine and feminine worlds. That is how I chose my femme name, which means “gift from God.”
Jane

The best word to describe that which is presented here is “confusion.” God does not “gift” any individual to relate to the world as masculine and feminine. He has created some to relate to the wold as men, and some to relate to the world as women. In this sinful world there are men and women who deviate from Yahweh’s design for humanity. Christ came to restore all mankind to Yahweh’s divine order.

I Corinthians 6:10-11
Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals..., shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Yahshua Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

Last week I was sent a link to an article about a newsman who announced that his gender identity was that of a woman. He began to dress in women’s clothes, wear a woman’s wig, and began hormone therapy. Three months later he claimed to have experienced a bizarre bout of amnesia where he reverted back to his male identity and could no longer even remember living as a woman.

I’m a guy again! ABC newsman who switched genders wants to switch back
By TARA PALMERI
Posted: August 6, 2013

He thought he was a woman trapped in a man’s body — but it turns out he’s “just another boring straight guy.”

ABC News editor Don Ennis strolled into the newsroom in May wearing a little black dress and an auburn wig and announced he was transgender and splitting from his wife. He wanted to be called Dawn.

But now he says he suffered from a two-day bout of amnesia that has made him realize he wants to live his life again as Don.





Don/Dawn/Don Ennis

“I accused my wife of playing some kind of cruel joke, dressing me up in a wig and bra and making fake ID’s with the name ‘Dawn’ on it. Seriously,” Ennis wrote in a memo he posted to the newsroom bulletin board Friday, explaining his shock after he woke up from what he called a “transient global amnesia” last month...

“It became obvious this was not the case once I took off the bra — and discovered two reasons I was wearing one,” he said, referring to his hormone-induced breasts.

“I thought it was 1999... and I was sure... that I was a man,” Ennis said in the e-mail titled “Not Reportable, Very Confirmed.”

“Fortunately, my memories of the last 14 years have since returned. But what did not return was my identity as Dawn,” said Ennis, who had been wearing lipstick, skirts and heels.

“I am writing to let you know I’m changing my name . . . to Don Ennis. That will be my name again, now and forever. And it appears I’m not transgender after all.

“I have retained the much different mind-set I had in 1999: I am now totally, completely, unabashedly male in my mind, despite my physical attributes,” he said.

“I’m asking all of you who accepted me as a transgender to now understand: I was misdiagnosed.

“I am already using the men’s room and dressing accordingly,” he noted.

“It’s so odd to be experiencing this from the other side; as recently as last Friday, I felt I was indeed a woman, in my mind, body and soul...

“Even though I will not wear the wig or the makeup or the skirts again, I promise to remain a strong straight ally, a supporter of diversity and an advocate for equal rights and other LGBT issues including same-sex marriage.”

Ennis had previously told friends that he suspected his sex mix-up happened because his mother gave him female hormones as a child that made him look and sound young to prolong a bit-part acting career, but he ended up developing breasts and started thinking he was a woman.

He explained he had gone to the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Md., for testing last month to understand why his mind and body changed from male to female. He said he learned it was a hormone imbalance that could be fixed.

A week after he was discharged, his wife rushed him back to the hospital because he thought he was having a seizure and was experiencing a “drastic loss of memory.”

Don added that he now feels “fantastic” as a man again.

And he said he hopes that with the hormone treatment and surgery, things will only get better.

Despite his short stint as a woman he told colleagues in the letter that he promises to remain “a strong straight ally and a supporter of diversity and an advocate for equal rights and other LGBT issues including same sex marriage.”

He plans to change the gender and name on his driver’s license, work ID and e-mail.

He called his three-month odyssey into the world of women “a tremendous gift...”
[Source:http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/guy_again_eKq3Jw6LjgsjpBdmZklrtM]

Does not the word “confusion” trumpet forth as one reads the article above? What is described is bizarre, aberrant, and, if I am not mistaken, Don Ennis’ account is also very disingenuous. I find the account of being stricken with transient global amnesia very convenient. After all, he spent the previous three months sharing the women’s bathroom with his female co-workers. I suspect some of them might have husbands who would not be too thrilled to hear that Don was “mistaken” about being a woman.

Stories such as this reveal the moral confusion that results when mankind departs from an identification of the natural order of God’s creation. Yesterday it was reported that U.S. Army Private Bradley Manning, recently sentenced to 35 years in a military prison for exposing government secrets, has declared that he is transgender. He wants to serve his time in prison as a woman and has asked to be called Chelsea Manning.

It was reported that Manning experienced gender identity confusion prior to committing his crimes. The media has been publishing a photo of Bradley Manning in a woman’s wig, and wearing women’s clothing.

This announcement has far reaching implications for both the military and civilian prison systems. Manning was assigned to prison at Fort Leavenworth. This is a male only facility. If the government acknowledges the gender he identifies with, he will have to be transferred to the Army’s women’s prison in San Diego. He would likely share a cell, bathroom and shower facilities with women.




Bradley/Chelsea Manning

It is not hard to imagine some alternative motives for his seeking this reassignment. Manning has suffered much abuse at the hands of his military prison guards already, including being forced to stand naked in front of prison staff, and to be kept in a cell with no clothing, or bedding, on the pretense that he might try to injure himself. As he is facing the next 35 years in prison, he may well believe he would be better off in a facility that houses women. How many more male prisoners might take the same tack for similar reasons, or even to have contact with female prisoners?

One fact that is revealed in the bizarre story of news editor Don Ellis is that therapists have no way to tell whether a person is truly a transsexual. The only thing they have to go by is the individual’s testimony. If a man says they see themselves as female, or a female states that she sees herself as male, the therapist must take the person’s word on the matter. Indeed, laws are now being passed that would bar a counselor or therapist from trying to dissuade an individual from such a view.

The entire prison system could soon be filled with added confusion, and increased moral debauchery, as men are assigned to women’s prisons and vice versa. California recently passed a law requiring that public school students be permitted to use whatever gender’s facilities they identify with. This means boys may go into the girl’s restrooms, dressing rooms, and showers, and girls into the boy’s. It takes little imagination to perceive that this will soon become the law for all citizens of the state of California, including those in prison. It is, after all, being trumpeted as a human right.

As tragic as it is to see society falling into such debauchery, and to realize that children are going to be subjected to increased sexual confusion and trauma, it is also disheartening to observe so many Christians who are being swept along on this tide of deceit. Many have bought into the lie that Christians are to not judge, but are to love without criticism, and to embrace even the most deviant behaviors as acceptable. For those who are confused about the subject of judging, I recommend the writing titled The Issue of Judging.

One of the foundational errors committed by the author of The Gender Book, is that gender is determined by you. He states that gender is “how you see yourself.” This is a humanistic viewpoint, where the judgment and thoughts of man supercede all others. A correct view of gender is that it is who God declares you to be. Yahweh does not place male souls in female bodies, or vice versa. Yahweh is not the author of confusion. If you were born with a female body, your gender is female. If you were born with a male body, your gender is male.

Romans 3:4
Let God be found true, though every man be found a liar...

Yahweh declared, “Let us create man in our image, after our likeness.” Yahweh does not change. He is not male one day, and female the next. When Yahweh took on human form to demonstrate to the world His image and likeness, He appeared in the form of a man. Yahshua is called the SON of God. He was born in a male body, and He lived His life as a man. There was never any deviation from this identity.

Hebrews 13:8-9
Yahshua Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever.

The world has fallen under the influence of the great deceiver. When men say they are women, and women say they are men, they are deceived, rebellious, or both. It is a deceit of the enemy that leads humanity to believe that they can choose their own gender. There is pride evidenced in such words and actions, for men and women are attempting to re-create themselves according to their own thoughts and desires. They are rejecting the identity assigned to them by their Creator, and assigning themselves a new identity.

When Yahweh created each individual He had a specific plan for them. Our lives know peace when we are in harmony with Yahweh’s design for our life. We are most healthy and fruitful when we conform to His design for our lives. To deviate from that design is to resign oneself to confusion. The last thing we read about the men of Sodom before Yahweh destroyed the city with fire, is that they were struck with blindness and confusion.

Genesis 19:9-11
But [the men of Sodom] said, “Stand back!” And they said, “This fellow came in to live here temporarily, and now he presumes to be our judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them. So they rushed at and pressed violently against Lot and came close to breaking down the door.” But the men [the angels] reached out and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut the door after him. And they struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness [which dazed them with confusion], from the youths to the old men, so that they wearied themselves groping to find the door.

Surely Yahweh does all things by design. In striking the men of Sodom with blindness He was demonstrating that their lust had blinded them. In causing them to be struck with confusion, He was revealing the disorder in their lives that had lowered them to the state of senseless beasts. Homosexuality was then, and is today, a departure from the character and nature of God.

Coincidence Theorists Versus Conspiracy Theorists

According to CNN, FOX, CBS, PBS, ABC, NBC and MSNBC there is no such thing as a conspiracy theory. These people believe that two bad people would never get together and plan to do something wrong. The American media has the majority of the public so brainwashed against the possibility of any conspiracy theory being true, that they reject any conspiracy out of hand. And if two or more people ever get caught doing something wrong, it is just an accident, and any one who believes otherwise, should immediately don their tin-foil hat and seek immediate therapy!

 

This article is written for the naive, dumbed-down sheep who I would label as the naive “Coincidence Theorists.” These people believe in the accidental theory of history. It is not likely that Coincidence Theorists will read the article by themselves, so you, the aware Conspiracy Theorists, may have to help them. Therefore, this article is also written for the awake among us so that you can use the following nine hypertext links to educate the naive that there are indeed conspiracy theories that are true and that many of these proven theories serve to threaten the well-being of every American. Simply have your asleep and unaware neighbors and/or family members click on each hypertext link and have them verify the “Conspiracy Theories” that are mentioned within this article.

The Following Paragraphs Are Written for
“Coincidence Theorists”

President Obama, with his hand caught in the cookie jar, admitted that the NSA did, indeed, spy on regular citizens emails. However, as the President put it, it was just an accident. One can tell that the President went to Harvard as this is a brilliant response. The unaware “Duck Dynasty” crowd is not even cognizant of the fact that the event took place. The Coincidence Theorists” now have plausible deniability and can continue to live their lives without a worry for their future or the future of their children. And of course, there are the rest of us who are watching as Obama shovels one more load of dirt over America’s grave.

OK Coincidence Theorists, school is in session. Is it just an accident that Obamacare gives CPS agents the right to come into your home and take your children without probable cause or even be in possession of a warrant under the new HHS manual? If you tell the Coincidence Theorists that if your child gets a bad grade in school that CPS can come for their kids under the “education neglect” category listed in the manual, they will laugh at you. The Coincidence Theorists” will never believe this, so click on the link and help the sheep discover all the wonderful things that Obamacare has in store for our children and their parents. Is it just an accident that Obamacare really does have death panels?

Is it just an accident that Michael Hastings car blew up, or Andrew Breitbart died under very mysterious circumstances? No elaboration is needed here. Simply click the link and let the pictures and the brief narrative do the talking. Understanding the Hastings issues is paramount to understanding that the establishment thinks nothing of murdering someone for getting to close to the truth. If your Coincidence Theorist friend has any degree of empathy, you may convince them by educating them on the Hastings’ case alone.

Was it just an accident when Ambassador Stevens was murdered despite having asked for more protection before he was killed by CIA al-Qaeda proxy troops? Was it just an accident when General Hamm and Admiral Gayoutte were arrested for attempting to disobey a direct order by launching a rescue mission in an attempt to save Ambassador Stevens? Click on the link and help your Coincidence Theorist friend discover what happens to establishment confederates when they no longer serve a purpose.

Is it just an accident that Obama is a communist who is fulfilling his communist mission to destroy America and that he has been groomed for the task since he was nine years old which will culminate in him surpassing Benedict Arnold as the country’s biggest traitor? After clicking on the link, please ask your Coincidence Theorist friend to articulate the purpose of groups like the American Communist Party, the Weathermen Underground, ACORN, etc. By this point, my Conspiracy Theorist friends, your Coincidence Theorist family member will be experiencing cognitive dissonance. They may get a headache and need a break. But whatever you do, find a way to induce them to read the following.

Is it just an accident that Obama has at least 150,000 Russians training on our soil training to occupy this country along with FEMA and DHS? At the same time, is it just an accident that Obama has granted himself the right to seize, secretly incarcerate and even murder American citizens without a warrant under the NDAA? Is it just an accident that Obama has granted himself the authority to take control over every resource and every person in America, with or without a declared emergency, in Executive Order 13603? Have them click on these three links and ask them if this tyrannical oppression directed at Americans by this establishment is just a coincidence or an accident? Ask your Coincidence Theorist friend to explain the meaning of the “the land of the free and the home of the brave” in a modern day context after reading this paragraph.

Of course there is much, much more that you can show them. This is only the primer of a very lengthy series. I have one further piece of advice as you educate your Coincidence Theorist and their family. I was somebody who was willing to stay on the sidelines until the forces of John McCain tried to steal my house and the houses of my 300 neighbors, without compensation, in order to serve his NWO agenda.

Conclusion
This entire Obama administration is an accident, an accident waiting to happen. This is the most evil, corrupt and, yet at the same time, most inept administration in American history.

Was it just an accident when the ink dried on Obama’s birth certificate and it said “born in America?” God is judging America because this establishment is the biggest “accident” to have ever been visited upon our shores. As with every accident, it is time to clean up the mess .

Volcanic 'geyser' erupts close to Rome airport

Motorists on Saturday were alarmed to notice hot, stinking gas spurting from a newly formed crater in the middle of a roundabout close to the perimeter fence of Rome’s Fiumicino airport -- less than 900 yards from the end of a runway.

Spectators gathered around the smoking crater, which measured about six feet wide and three feet deep, before firefighters and vulcanologists arrived to seal off the roundabout to prevent inhalation of the gas, suspected to be a cocktail of carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and methane. Tests are now underway.

While initial reports suggested the gas came from rotting organic matter trapped underground, one expert said volcanic activity was more likely.

“From Mount Etna in Sicily up to the Alban hills around Rome there is a good deal of underground volcanic activity,” Alberto Basili, a seismologist at the Italian National Institute for Geophysics and Vulcanology, told the Daily Telegraph.

The area covers Mount Vesuvius, which buried the Roman city of Pompeii when it erupted in 79AD, to a number of lakes formed in extinct volcanoes north of Rome.

“Gas underground can remain hot for tens of thousands of years after volcanoes erupt, and every now and then it can rise to the surface from miles underground,” said Mr Basili.

“We have seen things like this elsewhere around Rome, with farm animals being killed after they breath in the gas,” he said.

Despite being a stone’s throw from the end of a main runway at Fiumicino, Europe’s sixth largest airport, which handles 37 million passengers a year, Mr Basili said there was no cause for fear over flight safety. “This is a limited phenomenon – it will not have created alarm at the airport,” he said.

Russia to Unveil New Air Defense System at MAKS-2013

MOSCOW, August 24 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s Almaz-Antei corporation will showcase for the first time its newest S-350E Vityaz mid-range air defense system at the upcoming MAKS-2013 air show near Moscow, the company said.

The Vityaz, which is expected to replace the outdated S-300 systems, is superior to similar foreign models, according to Almaz-Antei statement released on Friday.

The new Russian system was reportedly shown to President Vladimir Putin during his June 19 visit to a St. Petersburg plant where it is being manufactured by the Almaz-Antei corporation.

The system has been in the works since 2007 and features advanced all-aspect phased array radar, a new mobile command post and a launcher carrying 12 vertical-launch missiles, which will use a variant of the 9M96 active radar homing missile, according to the company.

Almaz-Antey plans to hand over the system to the Russian Defense Ministry for testing before the end of 2013 and start deliveries to the Russian military next year.

The Vityaz will complement the Morfey, the S-400 and the S-500 air defense systems in the future aerospace defense network to engage targets at ranges from five to 400 kilometers, and at altitudes from five meters to near space.

US rebuffs Syrian access to chemical site as “too late to be credible”

The US has little doubt the Syrian government used chemical weapons against civilians and any decision to open the site to UN inspectors comes “too late to be credible,” a senior US official said Sunday, Aug. 25.
The official made clear the Syrian government's agreement to let United Nations inspectors visit the site of an alleged chemical weapons attack was inadequate.

"At this juncture, any belated decision by the regime to grant access to the UN team would be considered too late to be credible, including because the evidence available has been significantly corrupted as a result of the regime's persistent shelling and other intentional actions over the last five days," the official said.

"If the Syrian government had nothing to hide and wanted to prove to the world that it had not used chemical weapons in this incident, it would have ceased its attacks on the area and granted immediate access to the UN five days ago," the senior Obama administration official said.
The White House appeared not to be deterred from military intervention by an effort by Damascus to ease tensions by allowing UN inspectors to finally visit the areas allegedly hit with chemical weapons.

Middle East tensions were further ratcheted up during the day by a warning from Tehran. Gen. Massoud Jazayeri, deputy chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces said Sunday: "America knows the limitation of the red line of the Syrian front and any crossing of Syria's red line will have severe consequences for the White House." Iranian and Syrian spokesmen have said that a US attack on Syria would prompt a Syrian missile attack on Israel in retaliation.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman also issued a statement late Sunday saying: "We again resolutely urge all those who are trying to force conclusions on the UN experts and who say that armed action against Syria is possible, to show common sense and avoid tragic mistakes.”
DEBKAfile reported early Sunday morning:

Western and Middle East powers led by Washington began moving Saturday night and Sunday morning, Aug. 25, toward a first strike against Syria following the Assad regime’s large-scale chemical attack in eastern Damascus last Wednesday. The first targeted strike may well signal the start of a series of US-led attacks aimed at toppling the Assad regime, DEBKAfile’s military sources report. They may consist of imposing a no-fly zone and the sealing off of sectors in northern and southern Syria against government forces.

Russian forces also went on war alert
President Barack Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron spent 40 minutes on the phone Saturday night amid the strongest indications to date from Washington that direct military intervention by the West was approaching, following a change in the US president’s posture. He has become convinced that the strike would have to be conducted outside the United Nations.

Military commanders from Western and Muslim countries are meeting Sunday in the Jordanian capital of Amman to coordinate action in Syria, with the participation of the US, Britain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, France, Italy and Canada. Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the US Chiefs of Staff chairs the meeting. Saturday night, four American destroyers were moving closer to Syria, armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles, which are capable of precision strikes.

While Western media are reporting at length on Western, Arab and Muslim military preparations, Israel’s armed forces are moving ahead in secrecy. Its officials spread soothing statements asserting Israel’s non-involvement in the Syrian turmoil, as Israel’s military and intelligence agencies get ready for Syria to counter an attack by loosing missiles against their country as well as Jordan and Turkey. All three also expect an explosion of terrorism.
Saturday night, Syrian information minister Omran al-Zoubi, while denying his government was responsible for Wednesday’s poison gas attack, stated over state television that if Syria came under attack, “a mass of flames will ignite the Middle East.”

DEBKAfile’s military sources report that Moscow has placed on war alert Russia’s Mediterranean and Black Sea fleets as well as rapid deployment forces in southern and central Russia.

Three Syrian hospitals told the humanitarian group Médecins Sans Frontières Saturday that they had received around 3,600 patients suffering from symptoms related to a poison gas attack. Of these, 355 had reportedly died.
According to DEBKAfile’s sources, Western demands for proof of the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons before taking action have been countered in the last few hours by the discovery that the forensic evidence will be all but impossible to obtain in view of the special mixture contained in the gas shells. Only tiny quantities of sarin were blended in with a large quantity of riot control agents, a formula developed by Iran to camouflage the use of chemical weapons.

Royal Navy ready to launch first strike on Syria

Royal Navy vessels are being readied to take part in a possible series of cruise missile strikes, alongside the United States, as military commanders finalise a list of potential targets.

Government sources said talks between the Prime Minister and international leaders, including Barack Obama, would continue, but that any military action that was agreed could begin within the next week.

As the preparations gathered pace, William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, warned that the world could not stand by and allow the Assad regime to use chemical weapons against the Syrian people “with impunity”.

Britain, the US and their allies must show Mr Assad that to perpetrate such an atrocity “is to cross a line and that the world will respond when that line is crossed”, he said.

British forces now look likely to be drawn into an intervention in the Syrian crisis after months of deliberation and international disagreement over how to respond to the bloody two-year civil war.
