ISIS Launches Attack From Turkey

Do you remember all those Turkish tanks that sat idly along the border with Syria as ISIS laid siege to the border town of Kobani? Well, now ISIS is launching attacks against Kobani from Turkey.

According to a report from the AP:

The Islamic State group launched an attack Saturday on the Syrian border town of Kobani from Turkey, a Kurdish official and activists said, although Turkey denied that the fighters had used its territory for the raid.

The assault began when a suicide bomber driving an armored vehicle detonated his explosives on the border crossing between Kobani and Turkey, said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Nawaf Khalil, a spokesman for Syria’s powerful Kurdish Democratic Union Party.

The Islamic State group “used to attack the town from three sides,” Khalil said. “Today, they are attacking from four sides.”

Turkey, while previously backing the Syrian rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad in that country’s civil war, has been hesitant to aid them in Kobani because it fears that could stoke Kurdish ambitions for an independent state.

Like his American counterpart, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been known to lie. The notion that Turkey is not aiding Kurds in Kobani being about fears that Kurds would want an independent state are ludicrous. Even if there is any truth to it, Turkey is siding with ISIS by default, at a minimum.

In reality, it’s become increasingly obvious that Turkey is in league with ISIS:

Mustafa Bali, a Kobani-based activist, said by telephone that Islamic State group fighters have taken positions in the grain silos on the Turkish side of the border and from there are launching attacks toward the border crossing point. He added that the U.S.-led coalition launched an airstrike Saturday morning on the eastern side of the town.

“It is now clear that Turkey is openly cooperating with Daesh,” Bali said, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State.

As western leaders remain in denial or complicit in Turkey’s collaboration with ISIS, the terrorist group is launching attacks against Kobani, Syria from Turkey.

What will it take to jettison Turkey from NATO?

Islamic State spreading into northern Africa

In its war to create a caliphate across Syria and Iraq, the Islamic State is opening a front in North Africa, where affiliated militants are wreaking havoc in eastern Libya and Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula — presenting a complex challenge for Washington and its allies in the region.

Through its savvy use of social media and slick production of recruitment videos, the Islamic State — also known by the acronyms ISIS and ISIL — is attracting a growing number of individual jihadis to its harsh interpretation of Islamic, or Shariah, law.

Pope prays at Sultanahmet Mosque in İstanbul

His head bowed and hands clasped in front of him, Pope Francis on Saturday stood in two minutes of silent prayer facing east inside one Istanbul's most important religious sites, as he shifted gears toward more religious affairs on the second leg of his three-day visit to the mainly Muslim nation.

Following in the footsteps of Pope Benedict XVI who visited Turkey in 2006, Francis prayed alongside the Grand Mufti of Istanbul, Rahmi Yaram, who had his palms turned toward the sky in a Muslim prayer inside the 17th-century Sultan Ahmet mosque.

"May God accept it," Yaram told the pope, at the end of the prayer aimed at showing respect for Islam and encouraging interfaith relations.

How the U.S. Is Being Set Up to Lose World War III

If World War III were to break out today, the U.S. would lose to its enemies, both foreign and domestic, that have conspired to change the balance of power on the planet.

There is no doubt that the Russians are being antagonistic and provocative with regard to their military activities. America and her NATO allies should and do feel threatened by an ongoing series of Russian military provocations accompanied by a record setting Russian military buildup.

Russia Military Activity Demonstrates Deliberate Preparations for World War III

The Russians just announced that a full squadron of ships from the Russian Navy’s Northern Fleet is holding drills in the English Channel! NATO has to be very nervous as war games have historically been used to launch an attack.

In what can be labeled a strategic game changer, the Russians have announced that they are going to sell to their newest and most powerful ally, China, a sophisticated air defense system. This is a highly significant development because the Russians have always been reluctant to supply the Chinese with high level military equipment because they do not trust China. This technology transfer of highly sophisticated air defense clearly speaks to the fact that Russia believes that it will be fighting the United States long before it will have to face off with the Chinese. And who are the Chinese anticipating that will be attempting to drop bombs on their homeland? These developments identify the antagonists who will comprise the opposing sides of World War III: Russia, China with an assist from the BRICS vs. The United States and what’s left of NATO. And, yes, I believe that Germany will sit out this conflict on the sidelines.

The air defense weapons system sold to the Chinese is described by Russian officials as “A contract between Rosoboronexport and the Chinese Defense Ministry was signed at the beginning of this fall for the delivery of at least six battalions of S-400 air defense missile systems worth of more than $3 billion.”

Can there be any doubt that China and Russia are cooperating with regard to their efforts towards gearing up for a war with the United States? The Russians must be feeling desperate to put the Chinese on equal footing to the Russians with regard to an all-important air defense system.

This air defense system is the best the Russians have to offer.

The Russians have demonstrated their aggressive military intentions as they have already illegally annexed Crimea. This action parallels what Hitler did in the Sudetenland as he seized as much territory as he could without firing a shot, prior to attacking Poland, in World War II. It would also appear that the Russians have been on a war footing for over three years at minimum. Take a moment and examine the following chart:

Russia Is Putting Its Money Where Its Mouth Is

Moscow is in the midst of the most expensive weapons modernization program in world history. From the period of  2016 through 2025, Russia’s defense spending is expected to reach $540 billion. No wonder Putin is “borrowing” from Russian retirement funds.

Much of the money is being spent making much of Russia’s nuclear arsenal “go stealth”, in which by 2016, Russian nuclear missiles could hit targets without being detected prior to striking the desired target. So much for mutually assured destruction (MAD).

The Russians next-generation bomber is nearly invisible to radar and their super-silent nuclear submarines are deadly, and according to the U.S. Navy, will be fully operational by 2025.

The X-Factor: The Traitor In the White House

As concerning as the Russian military build up is, nothing is more frightening as the blatant treason on display in the White House. Everything that this President has done is designed to weaken the U.S. military.

In a series of widely publicized reports back in 2012, Russian paratroopers rehearsed seizing Denver International Airports and seizing the newly constructed underground CIA headquarters in the same area.

***** “One speculation in this report, however, does note that the scenario to be played out in late May (2012), in Colorado, as planned by the Americans, does, indeed, mirror similar plans of the Russian General Staff of actions to be taken in the case of sudden civil war where “outside forces” would be called upon to protect the government from overthrow by internal forces or armed rebellion by the military.“ *****

In Obama’s mind, what event could compel an armed rebellion by the military of such a magnitude that it would require a Russian invasion of Denver, CO?

It has been widely reported that following the failed rescue attempt by the Navy and the Army at Benghazi, which was nothing short of an attempted military coup, Obama has been a one man wrecking crew for U.S. military leadership.

Within two months after the Benghazi attack, four very senior U.S. military officers were purged by Obama:

• Gen. Hamm, on October 18, 2012.
• Adm. Gayouette, on October 18, 2012.
• Gen. Petraeus, on November 9, 2012.
• General Allen, on November 13, 2012.

This event reminds me of when Hitler discovered he had been betrayed by German General Irwin Rommel and other senior level German officers who attempted to assassinate Hitler. The Nazis killed these Generals and covered it up as war casualties. Obama politely retired our offending officers in disgrace.  The deposed military senior command officer body count has reached over 260 officers removed by Obama. The net effect of these moves by Obama is to destroy the military leadership just in time for World War III.

In the infamous “open mic” incident, Obama was heard to say, “With regard to missile defense, I will have more flexibility after the election.”

Why were Russian troops allowed into the previously conducted Grid EX II simulated EMP attack drill? Russian troops have also been used to police major events on American soil. This is martial law desensitization training in which the Russians are trained to interact with American citizens. Also, FEMA signed a bilateral agreement with the Russian military to permit a minimum of 15,000 Russian soldiers to train on American soil and this was at a time when both Russia and China threatened to nuke the United States if we dared to invade Syria or Iran in the Fall of 2013.

The following is a quote from the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry:

“The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry and the USA Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are going to exchange experts during joint rescue operations in major disasters. This is provided by a protocol of the fourth meeting of the U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission Working Group on Emergency Situations and seventeenth meeting of Joint U.S.-Russia Cooperation Committee on Emergency Situations, which took place in Washington on 25 June 2013.

The document provides for expert cooperation in disaster response operations and to study the latest practices. In addition, the parties approved of U.S.-Russian cooperation in this field in 2013-2014, which envisages exchange of experience including in monitoring and forecasting emergency situations, training of rescuers, development of mine-rescuing and provision of security at mass events.”

Russian defectors have long warned the United States about a multi-generational plot to conquer the United States from within. We know that former communist inspired Weathermen Underground leader, Bill Ayers, launched Obama’s political career from his Chicago home. Ayers still visits the White House.

Does any reasonable person think it is safe to follow Obama into World War III against the Russians?

Conclusion

It is not a matter of “if” we will be fighting World War III, in a Red Dawn scenario, it is a matter of “when”.

Let’s not forget about the giveaway, to Russia by Obama, of seven strategically important oil-rich Alaskan Islands.  I have been calling attention to this event for over two years. Maybe in light of everything else, we will start to pay attention to the significance of the giveaway of these Islands to the Russians.

The coalescence of these events will become more clear in the next part in this series as I believe I know where hostilities will likely first occur. The giveaway of Alaskan Islands to the Russians provides a clear and unmistakable clue.

Dumb and Dumber American Style

“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie—deliberate, contrived, and dishonest, but the myth—persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

JOHN F. KENNEDY

People often ask me, “Dave, how do we turn this around and defeat the globalists”? I frequently tell them that there is no turning this around. I have an attorney who is continually writing to me and stating that we need to teach the people the Constitution. “Mr. lawyer, our people cannot even read the Constitution, much less understand it”.

The parents and grandparents have lost this country to a group of vicious and sociopathic bankers because for 3 generations, Americans have failed to turn off their TV sets and allowed the state to educate their children.This article is about why parents need to home school their children in order to keep them out of the clutches of the government. Yes, there are good teachers and great schools still left. However, there are not enough of them. We need to rescue our children from the propaganda of the state, before they are totally taught to love their servitude and educate them in an environment which will honor true knowledge, not blind obedience.

If the Biblical saying (Hosea 4:6) “My people perish from lack of knowledge.”  is indeed true, Americans should be placed at the top of the endangered species list. We need to educate our children at home before we lose this generation as well.

Dumb and Dumber

Just how dumb are we? Consider a new report from the Intercollegiate Studies Institute about civic literacy concludes that the average American is too dumb to vote intelligently.

Over 70% of the test takes, including college students and elected officials flunked the 33 multiple choice question test which covered basic civics.

How bad were the results? Consider the fact that 27% of the elected officials surveyed could not name even one right contained in the first amendment. How will we know when the country is placed under martial law? The answer: We won’t!  But neither will the majority of our leaders.

Rick Shenkman, author of the book Just How Dumb Are We, found that 87% of American college students could not find Iraq on a map. In fact, Shenkman also found that:

- Only 1 in 5 know that we have 100 United States senators.

-Only 2 out of 5 citizens can name the three branches of the federal government.

-Only 20% of young Americans between the ages 18-34 read a newspaper daily. An amazingly low 11% report surfing Internet news sites. 

Among 18- to 24-year-old Americans given maps:

-83 percent cannot find Afghanistan

-76 percent cannot find Saudi Arabia -70 percent cannot find New Jersey

-11 percent cannot find the United States

Only 17% of college graduates understood the contrast between a free market economy and centralized planning. Perhaps this explains why America was not rioting in the streets following the passage of the bail out. I am left wondering what percentage of Americans actually believe that the Federal Reserve is both Federal and has reserves. Soon, nearly 100% of Americans will not be able to find their wallets.

 Class Size

Public or private schools, with class sizes of 30-40 kids,  doesn’t inspire creative or critical thinking. If large classeshave to be on the same page, literally, those who learn faster are held back by those who are slower. Rote memorization does not lead to true understanding.

Mass Indoctrination

The public educational system has always been used as a tool for indoctrinating kids into whatever the currently accepted belief systems and standards of behavior are considered acceptable by the elite. As I have written about, elementary students in San Bernadino, CA., made their students bow on one knee when they heard the teachers whistle. All across this country, all support of the Second Amendment is eviscerated from most schools (e.g. suspending children for drawing a gun, pointing a finger gun, playing imaginary war games on the playground).

Mass Inoculations

Homeschooling your children can help them avoid the often dangerous and required vaccinations and enforced psychotropic “medications”. There are many concerns of how children cope with the drudgery of forced institutional education by resorting to illegal drugs or prescription drugs obtained illegally.

Mass Illiteracy

It takes the schools of today far too many years to teach reading and writing skills along with basic grammar, and math. Most of the problem is due to sheer class size. It should take only a few months to learn each of these basic items for most. Today, about 40% of  high school graduates are lacking in those basic literacy skills.

Mass Cloning

A generation of making dedicated teachers teach the exact same thing, using the exact same methods, has produced an educational cloning factory. This type of education produces a conditioned response in our children, instead of free and independent thinking. It is an excellent propaganda tool.

Mass Deception

Robert Kennedy Jr. once stated that, “Americans are over entertained and under informed.” You can help switch that around by exposing your children to texts and videos that are not allowed throughout all the grades of public education. How about teaching children how the Federal Reserve system is ripping them off and has been for a century in which the dollar has slipped in value to less than four cents. How about teaching our children how to balance a checkbook. How about allowing children to pursue what they love, learn real history, engage in a critical analysis the present political leadership and most of all, let’s have them learn what the research says about real contentment and long lasting happiness? Our children need to be challenged in ways that are appealing to them. The establishment is interested in using school as an instrument of indoctrination and teaching that the state is sovereign, not the people.

Conclusion

The state wants to produce children who are smart enough to do their jobs, but not so smart that they question authority. The banker-run state has accomplished their goal in subverting the Constitution and turning us into passive sheep who are incapable of challenging authority. If we hope to mount any resistance against the tyranny which has taken over our country, we need to remove the tyrants incessant voice from the ears of our children. The biggest reason to home school your children is to reintroduce God to the lives of our young in a manner that integrates His perfect word into the daily lives of our children in a manner which is fully engrained into the lives of our children.

Home school children consistently outperform public school, home school your children!

Common Core is exacerbating these issues.

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”

Panic sparked as sea turns blood red overnight

Villagers were astounded at the blood red sea

Red waves rushed onto the beach, turning the coastline into a terrifying scene in Shenzhen, in China's Guangdong province.

Some residents even believed a swimmer had been killed by a shark as the sea turned such a deep shade of crimson.

The scene will undoubtedly unsettle some as biblical texts forewarn a blood red sea is one of the ten plagues of Egypt marking the End of The World.

The bizarre scene in this case however isn't a prelude of judgement day but is in fact caused by algae blooms, which change colour to a deep red or dark brown when they reproduce in one area in large numbers.

Are we on the brink of creating artificial life?

With 100 billion neurons and 37 trillion cells, the human body is simply too complex to be artificially designed by modern computers.

But in the quest to create artificial life, what if we started a lot smaller? That’s what team of scientists has done, creating a replica of the simplest form of life we know.

The worm Caenorhabditis elegans has just 300 neurons and around 1,000 cells - and now a robot has been created that mimics the actions of this simple organism.

Scroll down for video


The OpenWorm team from California is making a 'digital' worm. Their project is recreating the neurons and cells in C. elegans, the simplest organism we know of. By making a digital worm the team hope to create artificial life. They have implanted the digital 'mind' of the worm into a Lego machine (shown)

The OpenWorm project, a global effort including researchers from the US and UK, is attempting to create the world’s first digital animal.

Earlier this year they ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the creation of a worm you can download onto your computer.
Share


And they have also created a robot that mimics the actions of a real-life worm.

C. elegans is one of the simplest forms of life we know, thanks to its limited neurons and cells, and thus researchers have been able to accurately map its body.

The worm, though simple, contains 80 per cent of the same genes as humans and can be studied as a more basic version of complex life.

With a brain, stomach and bodily functions, the worm has provided scientists with a way to study life on a much smaller and more manageable scale.

In this latest project the researchers mapped the entire physiology of a C. elegans organism.

They then recreated the worm’s brain, cells and more in digital form, complete with neurons ‘firing’ to make decisions.



Scientists re-create worm brain with Lego machine




Earlier this year the OpenWorm project ran a successful digital campaign to fund their digital worm (shown). Next year people will be able to buy and download their own worm for use on computers. The artificial creature accurately recreates the cells and neurons in a real C. elegans worm


The ultimate goal of the project is to give people access to their own digital worm called WormSim to study on their computers through the OpenWorm project.

Following the successful Kickstarter campaign, this should be available next year.

But they have also inserted the artificial brain of the worm into a Lego machine, specifically a Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot.

By recreating the 302 neurons and 959 cells of this tiny nematode worm, the robot can then be left to ‘mimic’ the actions of a real-life worm.

This means it moves around, runs into obstacles like walls and also turns.

The robot is very basic for now, and does not possess the ability to perform more complex functions such as eating.

It’s an important step, though, to creating artificial life that can think for itself.

While this worm is a very basic form of life, it may be a precursor to making much more complex animals.

This will be a huge undertaking, though - even a mouse has 22 million neurons in its brain.

‘The mere act of trying to put a working model together causes us to realise what we know and what we don't know,’ John Long, a roboticist and neuroscientist at Vassar College in New York State, told New Scientist.


The Caenorhabditis elegans nematode (scanning electron microscope image shown) is only around 0.04 inches (1mm) in length, is transparent and feeds on bacteria, such as E. coli. The worm has been the focus of huge amounts of research and was the first multi-celled organism to have its entire genome mapped





Creating an aritifical brain (stock image left) is viewed as being the first step to creating artificial intelligence. Some experts even believe that the key to one day inhabiting far away planets is to get rid of the body altogether, such as how cartoon villain Krang (right), from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, did

Nato commander warns Russia could control whole Black Sea

Nato's top military commander, Gen Philip Breedlove, has warned that Russian "militarisation" of the annexed Crimea Peninsula could be used to exert control over the whole Black Sea.

Speaking in Kiev, Gen Breedlove said Russian military assets being installed in Crimea would have an effect on "almost the entire Black Sea".

Mr Breedlove is in Ukraine for high-level talks with Ukrainian leaders.

Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in March 2014.

Russia's defence ministry said on Wednesday that it had deployed a batch of 14 military jets to Crimea, as part of a squadron of 30 that will be stationed on the peninsula.

An initial batch of fighter jets were flown to Crimea's Belbek air base "from military air bases in Krasnodar Territory," Russian agency Interfax reported.

Gen Breedlove had said earlier on Tuesday that a large number of Russian troops were also active inside Ukraine, training and advising separatist rebels.

Russia has continued to deny allegations from western countries that it played any direct role in the conflict in Ukraine, which has claimed more than 4,317 lives.

President Vladimir Putin said that Russia "poses no threat to anyone" and would "resist efforts to draw it into geopolitical intrigue," Russia's Tass news agency reported on Wednesday.

Gold will be the Last Man Standing

Scientist admits he is 'terrified' of the technology being developed to stop global warming

A climate scientist has said he is ‘terrified’ of the futuristic technologies he is helping to develop in a bid to slow global warming.

British academics have spent £5.4 million ($8.5 million) in the last five years on taxpayer-funded ‘geoengineering’ projects to stop the effects of climate change.

Dr Matthew Watson, lead investigator of a £1.8million ($2.8 million) project to pump chemicals into the atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays, said using such technologies will become inevitable if humanity fails to stop global warming.



Dr Watson from Bristol University said we should be wary of interfering with nature on a planetary scale - known as geoengineering. It involves changing our planet to counteract effects of climate change. Earth is shown here pictured from space

The Bristol University academic has already suffered a major setback, when much-trumpeted plans to send a huge balloon into the air to test his scheme was scrapped over a patenting dispute.

Yesterday he admitted that despite the millions already spent on research, scientists are still decades from seeing their dreams turn into reality.

And he said they could indeed be dangerous.

The schemes could see rainfall patterns change, droughts spread across the world and the ozone layer damaged beyond repair.

‘Personally, this stuff terrifies me,’ he said.

‘Whilst it is clear that temperatures could be reduced during deployment, the potential for misstep is considerable.

‘By identifying risks, we hope to contribute to the evidence base around geoengineering that will determine whether deployment, in the face of the threat of climate change, has the capacity to do more good than harm.’

But he added that it would be ‘unethical’ not to try the technology.

‘If we ever deploy these technologies it will be the closest indication yet that we've failed as planetary stewards.

‘But there is a point at which not deploying some technologies would be unethical.

‘It's a watershed for our relationship with the Earth and with nature. It fundamentally changes the way seven billion people are going to interact with the world, and I'm not sure the system is going to be controllable in the way we want.’

Three taxpayer-funded schemes will today publish the results of five years of research into geoengineering.

Each report will confirm that we are many years away from seeing any project work outside the laboratory.

One of the touted projects includes spraying low-level clouds with sea salt to make them reflective to the sun; another would pump aerosols or sulphur particles into the atmosphere to disperse sunlight; and others would see greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide sucked out of the air to reduce global warming.

Speaker at al-Aqsa urges annihilation of America

In spontaneous sermon caught on video, Ali Abu Ahmad castigates ‘vile’ Jews, hails Islamic State ‘mujahideen’
BY TIMES OF ISRAEL STAFF November 26, 2014, 6:23 am 22

A Palestinian speaker on Friday delivered an impromptu sermon inside Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque calling for the elimination of America and Israel and hailing the Islamic State terror group.

In his address, translated and posted Tuesday by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), the man identified as Ali Abu Ahmad calls for Jerusalem’s liberation from “the Jews, the most vile of creatures” and for the annihilation of America and the international coalition against Islamic State.


“Oh Allah, annihilate America and its coalition. Oh Allah, enable us to cut off their heads. Oh Allah, help our brothers, the mujahideen in the land of Iraq and Syria,” Abu Ahmad calls out in the main hall of the mosque on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.

“Who will come to the aid of Islam, if not us? Who will come to the aid of Jerusalem, if not us? Who will come to the aid of the Caliphate, if not us, oh servants of Allah?” he cries as many people mill around, while several sit and listen.

“Do not be deluded by the arrogance of the Jews, or by their crimes against the Muslims of Palestine. This is merely a prelude to their elimination, Allah willing, at the hands of the loyal mujahideen within Palestine and abroad.”

Abu Ahmad warns Palestinians against appeals and overtures to the international community which he blames for bringing the Jews to Palestine in the first place.

“They share the blame for their barbaric crimes against the Muslims in Palestine. Seek refuge in Allah the Almighty, the Avenger. Only Allah can break the backs of America and the Jews, as he did to Pharaoh and Nimrod,” he says.

Several people sit and listen to Abu Ahmad quietly throughout his speech, but do not respond much, and only a few are visible in the frame. It is thus not clear whether many people are listening. Most of the crowd in the mosque does not appear to be paying attention.

For the past two weeks Israel has removed all limitations from Muslim worshipers wishing to attend sermons in the mosque, reversing a policy to ban young people from attending due to fears of rioting. This practice, which had been in place for several months, was changed at the behest of American and Jordanian officials as part of confidence-building measures agreed to by Israel in an effort to stem the anger and violence in the capital.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called on Israel Friday not to allow the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to turn into a religious war.

In an address in Ramallah, three days after two Palestinian terrorists killed five Israelis in an attack on a synagogue, Abbas said, “There is a political struggle between us, so let’s talk politics. Don’t turn it into a religious struggle, because once struggles like that start, they don’t end.”

The PA chief, blamed by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for inciting recent acts of terror with anti-Israel speeches and propaganda, went on to urge: “You mustn’t come close to our mosques, to our churches. And we mustn’t come close to your synagogues.”

Israel’s Shin Bet security chief Yoram Cohen last week told legislators that Abbas was not directly or indirectly encouraging terrorism, but said some of his comments may be interpreted in some quarters as a call to arms. Some PA officials and members of Abbas’s Fatah faction have charged that Israel is threatening the safety of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, encouraged “days of rage” to “protect” al-Aqsa, posted anti-Israel cartoons, and broadcast anti-Israel messages, including endorsements for several recent terror attacks.

Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister Tzachi Hanegbi said Friday that the PA’s own official website carried incitement to terrorism and that Abbas has spoken recently of the imperative to prevent hordes of settlers descending on Al-Aqsa.

Thousands Of Christians Enlist Into Major Christian Militia To Fight War Against ISIS To Protect Their Faith

Thousands of Christians have enlisted in a new major Christian militia called “The Nineveh Plains Brigade”, and they will be sending their first platoon of troops which will consist of 500 warriors

According to a report:

Following ISIL’s advance in northern Iraq and its capture of Mosul as well as persecution of Iraqi minorities by the notorious group, the minorities felt they have no choice but to defend themselves.

After five months of displacement, Iraq’s Christians are now saying that they want to fight back and retake their land. The chairman of Supreme Izadi Council, Hadi Baba Sheikh and Iraqi Turkmen Front had previously called for arming and training minorities. 500 volunteers will be the first batch of Christians to be trained by the Kurdish Peshmerga. They will be included in what is being referred to as “The Nineveh Plains Brigade”.

This as, top Christian officials in Erbil tell Press TV that thousands have signed up for future batches as well. In recent months, ISIL has overrun Christian-populated regions in northern Iraq, forcing hundreds of thousands to flee. Though Iraq’s Christians have time and again called for international pressure against the extremist Takfiris and dry out their resources, their calls are yet to be heard. Once again persecuted Iraqi Christians have slammed shut the doors of immigration opened for them by Western countries as a way out of their ordeal. After the strategic victories scored by the Iraqi army backed by popular committees – in regions such as Amerli, Jurf Al-Sakher, Baiji and others; Christians hope the same strategy will work in recapturing their hometowns as well.
