Netanyahu: Iran deal will bring war, ‘nightmare’ atomic arms race

The world powers’ nuclear deal with Iran will lead to war and a “nightmare” regional nuclear arms race, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned in an online address to American and Canadian Jews on Tuesday evening.

Netanyahu, who has been seeking to sway US lawmakers to thwart the agreement, accused the deal’s supporters in the Obama administration of spreading “disinformation about the deal and about Israel’s position” in its bid to rally support.

He pointed out a series of “fatal flaws” in the deal, and asserted that it “doesn’t block Iran’s path to bomb,” but rather “paves” its path to the bomb.

The agreement, a legacy foreign policy project of US President Barack Obama, gives Iran “two paths to the bomb,” enabling Tehran to obtain a weapon either by keeping the deal and waiting for it to elapse, or by violating it, Netanyahu warned.

The Conference of Presidents and Jewish Federations in the US and Canada had encouraged viewers of Netanyahu’s address to join the call through computers and cellphones as well as through group viewings at Jewish institutions.

During his brief address Tuesday, the prime minister responded to several questions that had been sent in in advance.

One of the questions related to Israel’s alternative to the nuclear deal – the administration has insisted that there is no viable alternative to the deal, and that opponents had no solution to offer other than war.

“Increase the sanctions, increase the pressure,” Netanyahu said, in presenting his alternative to the deal, asserting that Iran would not back away from the negotiating table, even if subjected to harsher sanctions, and would abide more stringent curbs on its nuclear program.

He argued that the opposition to the deal across the Israeli political spectrum was indicative of the “dangerous” nature of the agreement.

“A huge majority of Israelis” oppose it, he said, claiming that since it is not a partisan issue in Israel, it shouldn’t be a partisan issue in the US either. “Rise above partisan politics,” he urged. “Judge [the deal] on substance, and on substance alone.”

“Oppose this dangerous deal,” he implored.

Netanyahu accused supporters of the deal of trying to “stifle debate” and said they have been misrepresenting the agreement in order to win support.

“This deal will bring war,” he warned. “Iran can keep the deal or Iran can cheat on the deal,” Either way, it will have the bomb, Netanyahu said, before adding, “hundreds of bombs.”

Furthermore, he said, addressing the audience, Iran has been building intercontinental ballistic missiles in order “to hit you,” not Israel.

He also predicted a nuclear arms race in the Middle East — “the most volatile part of the planet” — in the wake of the deal.

“That’s a real nightmare,” Netanyahu added.

“Here’s the bottom line,” he said. “Oppose this bad deal.”

UN’s Multicultural Agenda Flooding Germany With Muslim Migrants

In 2012 Peter Sutherland, the non-executive chairman of Goldman Sachs International and the UN’s special representative for migration, urged the EU to “do its best to undermine” the “homogeneity” of its member states and create “multicultural states” in Europe.

On Saturday the German daily Die Welt reported this process is well underway. It cited a telephone conference between the interior ministers of German states that revealed “302,415 asylum seekershave already been registered” this year in the country.

The figure is higher than the one reported by the Federal Office for Migrants and Refugees (BAMF) which recorded 258,000 current requests for asylum.

The Der Tagesspiegel newspaper, however, said the unofficial “internal numbers” at the BAMF suggest as many as 600,000 asylum applicants in 2015.

In 2009 official figures put the Muslim population in Germany at around 4 million, or roughly five percent of the population, representing the largest population of Muslims in Europe.

In November Felix Strüning of the Stresemann Foundation said Germany’s SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service) has downplayed the actual numbers on the influx of Muslim immigrants in the country in order to stifle criticism of the multicultural agenda mentioned by Peter Sutherland.

Strüning writes for Citizen Times that “the number of refugees entering Germany has risen exponentially. And this implies a massive increase in the percentage of the population of Muslim persuasion,” a fact the SVR has “blithely swept under the rug.”

Although the actual number is unknown, native Germans have expressed concern about the influx.

“The growing number of Muslims in the country (and specifically the Turks) makes the locals… increasingly more hostile towards them. A group of experts with the Council of Europe headed by former Foreign Minister of Germany Joschka Fischer recently conducted a study and found that the number of people who are afraid of Muslims is growing,” writes Vadim Trukhachev.

A separate study was conducted 18 months ago by experts of the sociological institute Dimap specifically in Germany. Thirty-six percent of Germans expressed serious concern over the expansion of Islam, and 39 percent – mild concern. The fears are largely exaggerated, but these figures eloquently show that the problem exists. Strictly speaking, its existence was acknowledged by Chancellor Angela Merkel herself.

“This [multicultural] approach has failed, utterly failed,” the German chancellor said in 2010.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán denounced the globalist multicultural agenda when he delivered his State of the Nation address in February.

“Europe is facing questions which can no longer be answered within the framework of liberal multiculturalism,” Orbán said. “Can we shelter people, many of whom are unwilling to accept European culture, or who come here with the intent of destroying European culture?”

Apocalyptic Weather Around World Sign of Fulfillment of Biblical Prophecy?

“Many lands will sink beneath the oceans while new land will emerge from the sea – pure and clean. The safest place to be will be Jerusalem which, as the place from which the whole earth was formed, will remain stationary.” (Zechariah 13.10-11)

Extreme weather is everywhere, but perhaps nowhere more dramatically than the scorching heat recently reported over Iran, where the heat index has been as high as 164℉ (73℃). Similar temperatures are being recorded in Iraq.

Where do we find this extreme weather in Biblical prophecy? In the tiny, three chapter long Book of Malachi, we find a clear reference “to a day that will burn like a furnace.” (Malachi 3:19)

In a recent blog post, Rabbi Lazer Brody, popular Israeli author and lecturer, reminded his readers of the prediction of Jewish sages that, as redemption gets closer, “God will remove the sun from its covering. The righteous shall heal in its heat but the wicked shall be doomed in it.”

Iran and Iraq are far from alone in experiencing tumultuous weather events in recent months.

A recent YouTube video compiling news sources of the sudden extreme weather around the world only highlights further the international apocalyptic-type weather currently taking place. News clips of deadly floods in the Midwestern US, wildfires in California and Saskatchewan, blazing temperatures in Tennessee and Indiana, clusters of earthquakes in Alaska, threatened eruptions of Mexico’s Volcano of Fire and much more illustrate the unprecedented meteorological occurrences.

On July 15, 2015, Fox News’s Shepard Smith reported on a new study that predicts that Oregon, Washington, and parts of Northern California are way overdue for an intense, margin rupture earthquake. The predicted 9.2 and subsequent tsunami could, according to the Federal government, cost as many as 13,000 lives in the Pacific Northwest.

On July 27, 2015, thunder and lightning over Moscow was so severe, at least one news report called it “apocalyptic”. On that one day, Moscow received over 40 percent of the rainfall it typically gets in an entire month.

The Science Alert website, which reports on science news, recently published a prediction that, based on the sun’s solar cycles, the entire earth could experience a second ice age within 15 years.

Have our prophets warned us about this pattern of extreme weather events? The End of Times blogger known as Tomer Devorah lists close to 20 Biblical sources of dramatic changes in the earth that have been prophesied since ancient times.

Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi, a mystical rabbi from southern Israel who publishes a weekly column about world events, connects all these news stories about extreme weather to the coming redemption. In nearly every weekly message, he warns that God is demonstrating His mastery over nature.

“The forces of nature: Every place with evil will go up in flames; there will be earthquakes, floods, winds, storms and volcanic eruptions,” Artzi explained. “God is thinning out the impurities in the world and burning them.”

Obama Continues to Set Presidential Records

After Jade Helm, there will be little else to accomplish.

The American people really need to quit bashing Obama.  He is a record-setting president. There has never been one like him. The Obama administration continues to set records and it is not even close. Here is a list of his “Presidential Firsts”.

An Unmatched Presidency

The only President to be photographed smoking a joint.

The only President to lead the nation into a $20 trillion debt status

The only President to oversee one out of every six Americans having to rely on food stamps in order to survive.

The only President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner.

The only President to have a social security number from a state he has never lived in.

The only President to preside over a cut to the credit-rating of the United States.

The only President to require all Americans to purchase a product from a third party when Obamacare.

The only President to spend a trillion dollars on “shovel-ready” jobs when there is no such thing as “shovel-ready” jobs.

Here’s who is pulling Obama’s strings. It is none other than George Soros, the globalist who game two million dollars to NAMBLA.

The only President to abrogate bankruptcy law to turn over control of companies to his union supporters.

The first President to decriminalize beastiality in the military.

The only President to order a secret amnesty program that stopped the deportation of illegal immigrants across the United States who had  previous felony convictions (i.e. rape and murder).

The only President to end America ’s ability to put a man in space.

“America is no longer a Christian nation”.

The only President to cancel the National Day of Prayer and to say that America is no longer a Christian nation.

The only President to arbitrarily declare an existing law unconstitutional and refuse to enforce it.

The only President to threaten insurance companies if they publicly spoke out on the reasons for their rate increases.

The only President to tell a major manufacturing company in which state it is allowed to locate a factory.

The only President to withdraw an existing coal permit that had been legally issued years ago.

The only President to actively try to bankrupt an American industry ,coal.

The only President to fire an inspector general of AmeriCorps for catching one of his friends in a corruption case.

The only President to appoint 45 czars to replace elected officials in his office (I thought “Czars” only served in Russia).

The only President to surround himself with radical left wing anarchists (e.g. Hillary Clinton, Valerie Jarrett, Van Jones).

The only President to golf more than 180 separate times in his six years in office.

Maybe we can call a “Mulligan” on his presidency.

The only President to hide his birth, medical, educational and travel records.

The only President to win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing to earn it.

The only President to spend over $100 million dollars on lavish vacations.

The only President to have personal tax paid servants for his “wife”.

The only President to repeat the Quran and tell the American people that the early morning call of the Azan, the Islamic call to worship, is the most beautiful sound on earth.

The only President to side with a foreign nation over one of the American 50 states (Mexico vs Arizona).

The only President to tell the military men and women that they should pay for their own private medical insurance because they “volunteered to go to war and knew the consequences.”

The only President to tell the members of the military that THEY were UNPATRIOTIC for balking at the last suggestion.

The only President to place the nation under a virtual and prolonged state of martial law (i.e. Jade Helm).

And to think this nation nation forced Richard Nixon to be the first to resign his Presidency because he dared to order the erasure of 18 minutes of a tape recording which covered up a burglary committed by his subordinates. Compare that to all of Obama’s firsts.

MAYBE IT IS TIME TO LEARN A NEW WORD AMERICA. AND THAT WORD WOULD BE IMPEACHMENT!

James Turk-Money Bubble About to Pop

Food storage supplies running out nationwide as citizens prepare for September.

(NaturalNews) A recent investigation by an alternative news website turned up a shocking truth: Due to huge demand, a growing number of storable food companies are experiencing dramatic shortages of virtually all goods, meaning that, should a regional or national emergency strike, millions of Americans will be left with nothing to eat and completely dependent on an understaffed, underfunded government.

As reported by  ANP, correspondents for the news site began visiting a number of survival food websites in July, with the goal of ordering some essential bulk food items that included potatoes, carrots, mangoes, peaches, powdered eggs and powdered milk, among other items. But the more they shopped, the more they found notices on the survival food sites stating that supplies were either low or temporarily out of stock.

Only, the warnings did not say that stocks would be immediately replenished; rather, the site reported, some food items would take weeks to restock.

Upon returning to those sites a few days later, the situation had become even more dire: Many sites weren't even certain when stocks of some items would be replaced.

"While both Preparewise and Buy Emergency Foods EXPECT these items to be back in stock in 3 to 4 weeks, the fact that both of these websites are experiencing overwhelming demand and currently COMPLETELY out of some of the most basic food groups should tell everybody a few things," ANP reported. "Americans are buying up these products in HUGE numbers as more and more Americans have come to expect a reason to need these items at some point in the future.

"If you are one of those people who has waited until now to buy your survival food for emergencies, we hope you're able to stock up before none of these items are available. As stated above, there are still a number of websites that are still selling bulk items and this webpage lists their favorite top 10 sites," ANP said.

While it is uncertain exactly what is fueling demand, ANP suggested that the proprietors of one survival retailer, Preparewise, thinks it has something to do with a "September event." The retailer, and ANP, did not elaborate.

Run on survival foods related to Jade Helm 15?

An update to the original story noted that, while many retailers still had a number of products, if demand were to surge due to some event, those supplies would vanish in 24 hours.

"We have been informed that several outlets still have many products and supplies available but when panic hits, they will all be gone in a day. From what we understand, Ready Reserve Foods is one of the online retailers that still has a great deal of stock remaining as does Ready Made Resources according to sources," ANP reported.

Natural News has long reported on the need for families and individuals to prepare for a time when, due to natural disaster, riots, war or an economic collapse, "the system" of civil society breaks down and it is impossible to rely on existing infrastructures of electricity and food distribution, police protection, military defense and banking.

No sense waiting until the last moment

In January, using the example of economic collapse, we reported on how to cut costs and prepare for a day when, perhaps, the U.S. dollar loses its value.

But there is lots of additional information on the Web; a Good Gopher search using the phrase "survive a collapse" turned up thousands of articles.

As for the "September event," some believe it could be tied to the current U.S. military Special Forces exercise known as "Jade Helm 15." Begun in mid-July and involving more than 1,000 special operations forces from nearly all service branches, the exercise is scheduled to conclude in mid-September.

Either way, it sounds as if there is a run on survival foods, so if you are in need of such items, there is no time like the present. You can easily find a number of online retailers to purchase survival supplies by searching GoodGopher.com, the world's first search engine that filters out government and corporate disinformation.

Saudi Tanks Invading Yemen

There are competing accounts as to exactly what happened at the Al Anad airbase in Yemen on Monday, where Saudi-backed forces loyal to President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi reportedly routed Houthi rebels, marking the latest in a series of setbacks for the Iran-backed group which forced Hadi to flee to Riyadh earlier this year, plunging Yemen into a bloody civil war. 

According to the Houthis, coalition forces were "crushed" and their vehicles destroyed, but a spokesman for the Popular Resistance said most of the base was in coalition hands. Here’s WSJ:

Forces fighting for a Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen have defeated the country’s Houthi rebels at a strategic southern air base, the Yemeni defense ministry said Tuesday.

The Houthis denied that the base had fallen. However, if it has been captured this would extend a recent turning of the tide in favor of the coalition in the four-month-old conflict.

The defense ministry said the operation at Al Anad, a large complex from which the U.S. had launched drone attacks against Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula before the recent instability, was "a true representation of national will and noble sacrifices that are being made to liberate Yemen from the grip of overthrowing militias."

A report Tuesday by the Houthi-run Saba news agency denied that Al Anad base had been taken, citing an unnamed military official. The Houthis had “crushed all [coalition] offensives” against the base and destroyed scores of military vehicles,  Houthi spokesman Nasruddin Amer said Monday evening.

If confirmed, the turn of fortunes in favor of the coalition at Al Anad build upon a string of recent gains in the south by the allies, which include Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Qatar, Bahrain, Egypt and a number of other Arab states.

Houthi rebels have been driven from Aden in recent weeks, setting the stage for coalition forces to make a further push northward into other Houthi-controlled areas.

Here's footage of the actual battle courtesy of RT:

And here's footage of Saudi tanks pushing north as the coalition offensive gathers steam: 

*  *  *

Importantly, Saudi and coalition boots are now officially on the ground in Yemen, under the guise of tank trainers. Here's The Washington Post: 

Saudi and Emirati troops are assisting Yemeni pro-government forces at al-Anad by operating many of the tanks and sophisticated military equipment, military officials said.

A Yemeni military official said thus far, few Yemeni troops have been trained in operating the tanks that have arrived by sea from Gulf allies in recent weeks. He added that the Yemeni military sought help from coalition countries in the al-Anad operation, calling them "partners in the liberation operation of Aden and other provinces."

Obviously, that seems like a rather transparent way of saying that the recent "turning of the tide" in Yemen may indeed be attributable to the fact that the Houthis are now fighting an open war with the Saudi army which turns out to be quite a bit more challenging than urban warfare in the backalleys of Aden with poorly trained Hadi holdouts. 

In any event, we suppose the real question is whether Iran is willing to stand by and watch as the Houthis are dismantled by Saudi Arabia, or whether Tehran decides it's time to provide more than just "logistical support", at which point Yemen's proxy "conflict" will officially morph into a regional sectarian war.

Russia Ready To Send Paratroopers To Syria

As Syria’s civil war enters its fourth year, it’s become something of an open secret that ISIS, for all their bluster and Hollywood-level video editing capabilities, are at best an unhappy side effect of efforts to train and arm the Syrian resistance and at worst, are a "strategic asset" funded and supported by coalition governments. 

In other words, there is indeed a geopolitical chess match going on here that will have far-reaching consequences when the blood and dust settle, but it has nothing to do with ISIS’ far-fetched quest to establish a Medieval caliphate and everything to do with installing a government in Syria that will be more friendly to the interests of the West and its Middle Eastern allies. 

ISIS will remain in play as long as they are necessary, but once the time comes for the US to clean up the mess left by Syria’s three-front war once and for all, that will be all she wrote for this particular CIA asset. Until then, everyone apparently gets to use Islamic State as an excuse to pursue their own political agenda, as evidenced by Turkey’s new war on "terrorists." Not wanting to miss an opportunity to justify what would otherwise be a rather brash declaration, Russia is reportedly ready to send in the paratroopers should Syria request Moscow’s help in battling terrorist elements. Here’s more via Tass:

The Russian Airborne Troops are ready to assist Syria in countering terrorists, if such a task is set by Russia’s leaders, commander of the Airborne Troops Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov told reporters on Tuesday.

(USSR paratroopers ca. 1975)

"Of course we will execute the decisions set forth by the country’s leadership, if there is a task at hand," Shamanov said, in response to a Syrian reporter’s question about the readiness of the Russian Airborne Troops to render assistance to Syria’s government in its battle against terrorism.

Shamanov noted that Russia and Syria have "long-term good relations." "Many Syrian experts, including military, received education in the Soviet Union and in Russia," Shamanov added.

In other words, two (or three, or four) can play at the "use ISIS as an excuse to go to war with our real enemies" game and just like the US can send in trainers and "forward spotters" to protect its interests in Iraq, so too can Russia send in a few airborne troops to protect its interests in Damascus. 

It’s now only a question of political will and as we’ve outlined on a few occasions recently, it’s not entirely clear how much longer Vladimir Putin is willing to support Bashar al-Assad in the face of the debilitating, Saudi-engineered slump in crude prices and the biting economic sanctions imposed on the Kremlin by Europe.

Six Warning Signs That The Economy Is In Trouble

On July 14, I wrote about the danger developing in the transportation sector, and things are looking even worse today. Here’s what I mean:

Look Out Below #1: Royal Dutch Shell reported its quarterly results last week—$3.4 billion, down from $5.1 billion for the same quarter a year ago—and warned that “today’s oil price downturn could last for several years.”

In anticipation of tough times, Shell slashed its 2015 capital expenditure budget by 20% and is going to lay off 6,500 high-paying jobs (not Burger King-type jobs) this year.

Look Out Below #2: UPS is a very good barometer of the consumer end of our economy: It’s the largest component of the Dow Jones Transportation Average both by sales and market valuation.

And UPS isn’t very confident about the US economy. Here is what UPS CEO David Abney said in a recent conference call with analysts:

If you just look at in [sic] January, the GDP forecast we thought was going to be about 3.1%. Now the thinking in July is about 2.3%, so let’s say a pretty significant decrease.

Why so glum?

The continued strength of the US dollar and I think this impending rate hike by the Fed appears to be holding back some US growth.

Abney has good reason to complain: UPS’s revenue fell 1.2% over the last 12 months. Not good.

Look Out Below #3: Rolls Royce may be best known for its luxury limousines, but the heart of its business is making engines for jet airplanes. Along with General Electric, the company dominates the aerospace engine business.

Business isn’t so good. Rolls Royce just issued its fourth profit warning in the last year and a half and is shutting down its $1.56 billion share buyback, introduced a year ago, to conserve cash.

The problem? Weak demand for its jet engines.

Hey, if Rolls Royce doesn’t want to buy its own stock… why should you?

Look Out Below #4: The reason Rolls Royce is suffering is that the airborne freight market is shrinking. While the passenger cabins you and I sit in may be full, the belly of the plane where the cargo freight is held is growing increasingly empty.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) reported that air freight load factors have dropped to lows not seen since 2009.

“The expansion in volumes we saw in 2014 has ground to a halt, and load factors are falling… we have to recognize that business confidence is flat and export orders in decline,” said the CEO of IATA, Tony Tyler.

Look Out Below #5: The trans-ocean freight business isn’t doing any better; the number of idle container ships has increased two months in a row.

The number of idle ships (over 500 20-foot-equivalent units) has jumped from 82 to 108. Yup… business is so bad that the owners of 108 ships don’t have any business whatsoever.

“The traditional peak summer season has so far failed to provide a boost to vessel demand, as the weak cargo outlook is forcing carriers to cut back on their capacity deployment plans,” reported Alphaliner, a container shipping watchdog.

Look Out Below #6: The reason why all these transportation companies are struggling is that global trade is simply shrinking.

Moreover, world trade is falling at the fastest pace we’ve seen since the last financial crisis. Global trade shrank 1.2% in May from the previous month, and the little-followed World Trade index (which tracks import and export volume) fell to 135.1 in May.

Look, transportation companies prosper when the economy is rocking and rolling. However, they are among the first to feel a business slowdown when things turn downward.

My bashing of the transportation industry is just as much of a warning about the overall economy as transportation stocks. Do you have a contingency plan to protect your portfolio when things turn ugly?

The best time to prepare for trouble... is before trouble arrives.
