This Is Much More Dangerous to National Security Than Jade Helm

There are worse threats to America than Jade Helm 15.

There has been something that has been a battle brewing inside of the United States that is devastating to the American way of life. This is worse and far more of a threat than Jade Helm. Specifically, I am speaking about the destruction of the Christian religion in the United States. The demise of Christianity and Christians is planned and it is deliberate.

As bad as he may be, the country can survive the illegitimate Presidency of Obama along with his fascist policies. America can also survive an economic crash, we have done it before. We can even survive the implementation of martial law so long as individual Americans refuse to accept the obliteration of their civil liberties. However, what America cannot survive is the wholesale the destruction of its cultural underpinnings. No nation can survive the destruction of its culture and remain the same and this is precisely what America is going through now.

Cultural Destruction

Our American history books are replete with examples on how the westward movement in this country destroyed the various Native American tribes. The Navajo, the Sioux et al, were not merely defeated because they lost their land, their freedom as many of them lost their lives. They were defeated, in the finality of it all, because they lost their culture. When the Native Americans were conquered, they were literally destroyed because they lost their right to practice their spiritual beliefs, societal mores and family traditions. Many of the children were sent off to harsh boarding schools where they were further deculturized.

America is living in a time when she is being deculturized. We are being stripped of our way of life. This administration would force you to accept homosexual marriage regardless of your religious beliefs and teachings on th subject. Many of the homosexual groups cry out for equality. However, some go much further as they bait the owners of bakeries into lawsuits who will not sell wedding cakes to homosexual couples because it violates their Christian values. Pastors are being threatened with law suits for the same reasons. “We have the right to refuse service to anyone” does not apply to those of a Christian persuasion.

We are also being forced to accept the presence of tens of millions of foreigners on our soil. Some come here with the legitimate intent to become part of the American culture. Some come here to take advantage of the hospitality that has been extended to them. And some come here with long criminal histories and to our current President, he does not care about distinguishing between the three groups of immigrants in which two of these groups of immigrants are clearly deculturizing America because I believe that is his goal. DeculturizingAmerica? Yes! How many immigrants from third world countries can we take on before we become just another third world country ourselves?

Were you aware that under the provisions of the TPP, we could see 150 million new immigrants coming to America? Where will we get the money to provide water, schooling and medical care?The answer is that we won’t and that is the objective. America is not supposed to survive the unveiling of the New World Order. Although most Americans are generous and we support immigration, we should not be supporting the deliberate deculturizing of America, but we do because we fear being labeled a racist.

As it was Native Americans, we witnessing the destruction of the traditional American culture that is increasingly branded as homophobic, xenophobic and racist for merely wanting to survive.

Christians Founded America

I strongly support the notion of religious toleration. However, as an American citizen, I feel compelled to proclaim that my Christian religion formed the backbone of the creation of this nation. I make no apologies for this statement, because it is true. All first year law students learn that the 10 Commandments form the foundation for our legal code. Subsequently, as I acknowledge the validity of religious toleration as a societal ideal, I will not, and cannot accept the ongoing attacks on the dominant culture and its native and dominant religion by fundamental extremists representing views which run contrary to the dominant culture. We must not acquiesce to the will of the minority. We can honor toleration without sacrificing our national identity.

The Sharia Threat

A senior member of the Saudi monarchy, Alwaleed bin Talal, says he’ll pledge his $32 billion fortune to charity. The Saudi Prince said he will his model his future endowment after the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As if this is not concerning enough, Alwaleed bin Talal says that the money will primarily be spent on the funding of the spread of Islam in the United States. However, let’s be clear, we are not really talking about understanding, we are talking about the obliteration of the Christian religion as we know it.

This is a very concerning development because Saudi Arabia’s approach to Islam is to censor all criticism of Islam while prohibiting the free practice of any other religion. So much for religious toleration and if we carry this intent out to its logical conclusion, your Christian religion will be banned and the practice of it could result in the forfeiture of your life. Merely look at the Middle East’s treatment of Christians to see what your future could look like.

Alwaleed bin Talal’s involvement is so very concerning because he has already pledged millions to the radicalized Muslim Brotherhood proxy groups to Islamize Americans through the spread of Shariah law.

“Ex-federal prosecutor says is “a major Muslim Brotherhood figure” who has helped raise funds for al-Qaida”. One could safely argue that Islamization of America has already commenced because Alweed bin Talal has already donated $27 million to a Saudi telethon to promote a Palestinian intifada against the nation of Israel as reported by the Clarion project. Last time I checked, Israel was still our ally.

Alaweed bin Talal has also engaged in other concerning Islamo-fascist activities:

1. Giving $500,000 to the American-Islamic Relations backed by the terrorist groups, namely, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas the supplier of Russian arms to Syria’s Assad and the new partner of ISIS in Mexico, the various drug cartels.
2. The spending of an amazing $40 million to expand the study of Islam in American colleges and universities.
3. He donated $20 million to Harvard to create a “campus-wide Sharia law studies program while also spending the same amount to Georgetown University. It should be mentioned that Sharia law is dedicated to the eradication of all other forms of worship including Christianity.

In any other country, the involvement of someone as heinous as Alaweed would banned from being able to involve themselves in our educational system and politics. However, that is not the case under this President. Do you think for a moment that Putin would put up with this?

Christianity is being marginalized into a tight and narrow corner in many venues including the sports world and our educational system.

The Washington Redskins Quarterback, RG3

Washington Redskins quarterback, Robert Griffin III (RG3) was wearing a Christian T-shirt at a post-game press conference until the NFL said “No way.”  RG3’s shirt read “Know Jesus Know Peace” and, also, “No Jesus No Peace.”

Michael Phillips, a sportswriter for the Richmond Times Dispatch, who was in the room tweeted: “RG3 was wearing a t-shirt that said ‘Know Jesus, Know Peace.’

RG3 acquiesced and turned his shirt inside-out. This certainly will not earn him bonus points on Judgment Day. I wonder if RG3 understands that he will go down in NFL history as the Judas of the sport? Yet, I cannot help wondering if the T-shirt said ” “Allahu Akbar” (الله أكبر)”, the NFL would not have dared to say a word. No, I don’t hate Islam, but the double standard in this country is growing by the day.

Do Not “Cross” the Line

Football players from Arkansas State University placed a small Christian symbol on their football helmets to commemorate the lives of the late Markel Owens, a former player, and Barry Weyer, the former equipment manager, according to conservative commentator Todd Starnes.

Louis Nisenbaum, an attorney in Jonesboro, Arkansas, saw the team playing on television, he subsequently wrote to the university’s legal counsel to complain about the cross. Arkansas State University attorney Lucinda McDaniel subsequently agreed that the symbol was a “problem”, recommending that athletic director Terry Mohajir order it removed or alter it.
Mohaij stated this decision to remove the crosses from the helmets was based on the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Not so fast, My Great Commissar of Athletics, the First Amendment promises freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. There is a bit of good news, the outcry was felt far and wide and the officials at Arkansas State University, eventually lifted the ban on crosses. However, I cannot help wondering that if the symbol placed on helmets had been a Wiccan symbol, the keepers of the devil’s gate, would not have dared make it an issue. Do you really think that is a far-fetched statement? Please consider the following.

Who Is Really Behind This Evil?

Following up on their success in their ability and “right” in getting their agenda into childrens’ minds through Hollywood’s entertainment and music industries“, worshipers of Satan have found a new way into your children’s minds and souls by using the court system to force access to schools and distribute their satanic literature to children while attending school!

Pamphlets are now being distributed to children in the Orange School District (FL), which promotes social justice and the love of Satan. Attention parents of Orange Schools, where are you?

Conclusion

As serious as the threat that Jade Helm poses, these threats to our cultural traditions are far more serious and threaten to deliver a death blow to our way of life.

We are witnessing the persecution of Christians through the principle of incrementalism. Hitler did the same. First, there was the public chastising of the Jews. Then they were denied employment and the right to publicly practice their religion. Then the worst began to happen.

Today in the United States, the abolishment of Christianity is underway. Through the DHS sponsored Clergy Response Team and making churches into IRS controlled tax exempt foundations, the message from the pulpit is being controlled. Now we are witnessing the marginalizing of Christians and the removal Christian practices from all public venues. Christian traditions are being erased.

A famous quote was offered which helps frame these current events of persecution against Christians “wherever they burn books, in the end, they will burn human beings”.  I would offer a variation of this theme, “where they erase Christianity, they will soon do the same to the followers of the religion”.

Vatican Claims Jerusalem......

A Hebrew Nation News Special Report by Bonnie Harvey

I am concerned about some things I’m seeing in Jerusalem/Israel, so I decided to go back to scripture to examine and re-examine the scripture concerning same, hoping to distinguish my thoughts from the actual words of scripture.

So, actually, what do we know from scripture regarding Israel in the last days? We know that the land will be divided (Joel 3:2) and that the Third Temple will be built, which the pseudo-Messiah will profane (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 11:1-2). The word used for “abomination” in this portion of Daniel is “shiqoots,” or, meaning “disgusting.”

Concerning this profaning, we have two examples in history of such “profaning,” the first example being the setting up of a statue of Zeus in the First Temple by Antiochus Epiphanes. The second example is of Titus having carnal knowledge of two prostitutes on the altar with a Torah scroll rolled out beneath them. Daniel was not kidding about the “disgusting” part. “Shiqoots” of the Temple is not limited to history, however, for we can see the Dome of the Rock sitting where the Temple once sat, complete with a sign announcing that Elohim has no son. Perhaps this is the greatest shiqoots in Temple history.

What else do we know about Israel in the last days? We know that Jerusalem will be a cup of staggering to all nations and that all nations will gather against her. In response, Yehovah Himself will strike them down, for Jerusalem is the apple of Yahweh’s eye.

What is Jerusalem’s part in all of this? Has she been unfairly attacked just because Yahweh loves her? Isaiah alludes to her part, her sins, and that her hardship has been/will be punishment rather than any injustice. John calls Jerusalem, i.e., “where the Lord was crucified,” “Sodom” and “Egypt.” Why would John call Jerusalem such accursed names?

What have they done or what are they doing to warrant such address? That is the focus of this article. I am raising issues for our awareness, so we know how to pray, how to interpret, and how to reckon the timeline.

1. The Timeline.   In Daniel 9, we see the basic elements of a., a ruler who will come, strengthening a covenant (definition) c., with the “many” (rabim, rabble, nations of the world?) d., for 7 years. If we have all of these 4 elements, I urge everyone to take a serious look for this looks very much like the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel. If this is the case, the horses will soon ride globally.

What we have on our plates right now is Israel asking for a 5-7 year treatyand Obama pushing for a 7-year treaty. The Oslo Accord was signed in September of 1993 and was revoked just short of 7 years later, being signed on Elul 27 and was revoked before sundown on Elul 28 seven years later when Ariel Sharon ascended the Temple Mount to pray for the return of Israel. Here’s a Gregorian-to-Hillel converter to help with the calculations.

So, we have the element of “covenant” and the element of “7 years.” Is there any more evidence of the element of a “covenant”?

2. New Checkpoints. I have had contact with Steven ben Denoon, who is an Israeli citizen who lives in Israel 9 months of the year and is a Messianic Jew. He was on the Hebrew Nation Radio Thursday Morning Show on July 2, 2015, to discuss the new checkpoints and highway changes in Israel recently. He will again appear on this radio program July 23, 2015.

Steven states that for the past 4 years or so, authorities in Israel have been widening Highway 1 from Tel Aviv (the site of the main airport in Israel, Ben Gurion Airport) to Jerusalem. Now, within the past year or so, Steven reports that first the arches appeared, then the remainder of the checkpoint. He has taken pictures of the size of the electrical/electronic capability to the checkpoint, a detail that he concludes is evidence of a sophisticated, passport-checking, high-volume checkpoint.

The truly upsetting aspect of the above is that Hwy. 1 from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is completely within Jewish held, occupied, ruled, and unchallenged territory. Hitherto, checkpoints have only been established between Arab occupied and Jewish occupied parcels. Why build checkpoints between Jewish held land and a Jewish held city, Jerusalem? Is the answer simple? Does the answer reflect the decision of our own Supreme Court? Is the answer that Jerusalem has already been established as an international city, sovereign from Israel and under another’s rule and authority?

Steven reports that many Israelis are concerned, but, just like America, they’re not rebelling because they still have goods, peace, and services.

Below are some photos that were taken by Steven ben DeNoon:

Above: The arches on Hwy 1 first appear on the newly widened highway from the major airport to Jerusalem.

Above: The arches began to take shape, revealing a functioning, barricaded checkpoint.

Above: The size of the cables reveal a checkpoint that will have sophisticated resources.

Is Steven ben DeNoon the only one noticing and calling attention to these new barricades? No. Pastor Paul Begley, and earnest watchman, interviewsIsrael citizen, Simantov Allaloof, who has also watched the new construction and raises the same questions as ben DeNoon.

Above: The new high-speed light rail train between Ben Gurion Airport and Jerusalem.  

“Why,” asks ben De Noon, “does Israel need an entirely new system between the airport and Jerusalem? Buses are adequate. Is Israel going to see a great influx of visitors? From where?” Then, he wonders aloud concerning just what would make Jerusalem such a magnet for such a sizable increase. The possibilities he voices are concerning.

That question raises the next issue.

3. Who is paying for these improvements? If we answer this question, we might get to the bottom of what is actually occurring.

An Italian journalist writing for Arutz Sheva twice weekly, Giulio Meotti, wrote an article that was published June 30, 2015, in which he outlined Vatican disregard for Jewish access and control of the Temple Mount. After discussing Pope John Paul’s visit to the Arab-flag bedecked Temple Mount in 2000, Meotti concludes that the papal visit, hosted solely by the PLO, was the Vatican “recognition of Islamic hegemony” and of the Islamic and Christian “right” to supersede Jewish interests in the holy places.

Most disturbingly, Meotti writes that “the Vatican-PLO agreements have been signed to enable the eviction of the Jews from Jerusalem.” Other agreements have been signed, including a memorandum of “preserving the proper identity and sacred character” of Jerusalem by returning to a pre-67 scenario wherein Jews were barred from the Old City and half of the city was under Islamic rule.

Meotti’s sentiments were echoed on the site NowTheEndBegins.com. The title of the article is, The Vatican Wants the Temple Mount Taken from the Jews, where he quotes the above Meotti source.

On June 26, 2015, the Associated Press released a story with the banner, Vatican Sign Treaty with “State of Palestine.” The Treaty recognized a Palestinian State and regulated Catholic participation within the new State. This Treaty was the first to recognize Palestine as a State.

Above: Vatican Foreign Minister Gallagher and Riad al-Malki after signing the first treaty recognizing Palestine as a State.

Additionally, Steven ben DeNoon reports that a beautiful new mall has been constructed just outside of Jaffa Gate, complete with an elaborate Catholic church in the middle of the mall.   DoNoon ponders this strange juxtaposition and wonders if paying for the construction of the mall earned the Catholic right to put a church in the middle.

Again, Arutz Sheva reporter, Guilio Meotti, wrote in an article entitled, A Seat for the Pope at King David’s Tomb, that Netanyahu granted the Pope an official seat in the room where the Last Supper is believed to have been held on Mt. Zion. It is also the believed to be the Tomb of King David. This agreement is expected to be ratified in the near future. Meotti, once again, outlines the long struggle and extreme interest of the Catholic Church in obtaining possession, rights, control, and dominion over this site (and dozens of other sites) while consistently “working to reduce Jewish rights in Jerusalem” and “campaigning with the Arabs against Israel.” The agreement will allow this site on Mt. Zion to open for mass from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. It is here, close to the Temple Mount, that the newly ordered “Mass to Lucifer” will be sung daily.

DeNoon researched briefly concerning just who was paying to the new checkpoints and rail system, the answer, “Taxes and a private entity.” NO information regarding the “private entity.” I’ve asked him to research the “private entity.”

In the meantime, let’s ask some questions. What “private entity” has an extreme interest in Jerusalem? What “private entity” has enough money to build major infrastructural changes in a nation? What does the pope want with the ostensible room for the last supper of Yeshua (probably not), but, probably is the burial place of King David. Is the pope’s interest more in the seat of King David? Is he preparing the way for the pseudo-messiah to reign from Jerusalem? Is that why the need for a new rail system? For the dignitaries that will flock to the pseudo-messiah? Will the imposter rule from Jerusalem? Will this  “international” city be cut off from Israel? Is this fulfillment of  prophesy unfolding before our eyes, about the “siege” (to isolate/cut off/restrict) that is laid against Jerusalem?

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem.  Zechariah 12: 2

Is that the reason for the checkpoints in to west Jerusalem?

4. Is there any other suspicious building activity in or around Jerusalem? Yes. Routes north and south of Jerusalem, mostly Arab-occupied land, is enjoying a surge of freeway construction which appears to link Arab-occupied land, East Jerusalem, and other surround Arab-occupied lands, thus eliminating their need to pass through Israeli checkpoints.

Below, we see another Steven ben DeNoon photo, showing a new freeway from Ramallah (Arab city north of Jerusalem) into Jerusalem. NO checkpoints.

5. The Ruler to come – Islamocatholicism. (aka Woman who rides the beast, from Revelation 17).
Let’s look at Daniel 9 again. “The people of the ruler to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary.” Who are the people who destroyed the sanctuary? The Romans. The leader who signs the covenant will be related to Rome. Let’s look at Daniel’s statue again.

“Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. 11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.” (Rev 17:10-11)

John noted that the Roman empire was the sixth because “five have fallen, and one is,” i.e., the legs of iron. The empire that was in existence during John’s life was Rome, who is the iron in the statue, a generally accepted interpretation since the 1st Century congregations.

Notice that Rome, the legs of iron, are two separate entities. Rome split into the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern.   Read a fascinating and brief history on how and why the Catholic Church helped to guide Mohammad, by Jesuit Cardinal, Augustine Bea. The goal, states this cardinal, was to ultimately gain Jerusalem by roping in the children of Ishmael as cohorts against the Jews. A closer look at both religions reveals surprising similarities – Mary worship, covering of women in the same manner, prayer beads, salvation by works, paganism, abuse of women, convert-or-die, and many more. This brief background by a cardinal helps us establish a background against which we can better interpret what we’re seeing.

When we look at the two legs and understand the history, I offer that we can see that Islam is eastern Catholicism, or, that Catholicism is western Islam.They are not divisible! The Pope Francis has even declared the Koran to be the same as scripture and may be read during mass and that Allah is the God of the Christian Bible.

Please notice, also, that the iron continues down to the feet, which is mixed with clay. (The clay are the demonic entities that will breed with man, as in Genesis 6.) East/west Isamocatholicism will continue until the stature is destroyed by the Rock (“eben”: ab (Father) + ben (Son) = Rock). The dominance of Rome/Islam continues until the second coming!

Back to Daniel 2, “the people who destroyed the sanctuary” were the Romans-who-are-the-same-as-Islamists. Who is the pseudo-messiah and who is the false prophet of Revelation? I offer that one will be from the right leg and one from the left leg of iron from Daniel’s vision, and it matters not which is which. At the present time, to see Islam and Catholicism acting in concert against Israel/Jerusalem should be no surprise.

6. Sign the covenant with “the many.” We have one more element to discuss, and that is the signing of the covenant per Daniel 9:27. The Hebrew word here is “rab,” from which, I offer, we derive our English word “rabble.” This covenant is signed with many people, “the many.”

Do we have any meeting on our near horizon where the leaders of many nations will be gathering with a representative of the legs of iron, i.e., Islamocatholicism?   The pope will meet with the full United Nations on September 25, 2015, after meeting with the leader of the current American administration. Will a covenant be signed at that time?

7. Will some Jews, Muslims, and Christians receive the pseudo-messiah? Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi Cahaim Kanievsky has made a call of all Jews to return to Israel to receive the messiah , whose appearance is “imminent.” He stated to a querying Jew, “Gather your family and come to Israel. Otherwise, there won’t be enough room for you on the airplanes,” hinting that the 9th of Av(July 25) could see this event.

Ultra Orthodox Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky calls for imminent Aliyah.

The Bible Codes also seem to hint that the messiah will return in 2016, which on the Jewish calendar, commences September 14, 2015.

Rabbi Chaim is not alone in his call for urgency, for the Muslims have issued a similar call to herald the coming Mahdi. The Mahdi, they say, will return 2015-16.

Are some Jews, Muslims, and Christians preparing to accept the wrong messiah?

Summary. We have discussed the four elements of Daniel 9:27. These are the elements we need – 1. an Islamocatholic leader (probably), 2. will sign a covenant, 3. with many nations, 4. for a term of 7 years. If that happens this September, may all who love Yehovah take note.

We have also discussed recent occurrences in Israel – the building of checkpoints that appear to isolate Jerusalem from Israel; the building of roads that appear to link all of the territories the Arabs expect to obtain when Israel is divided; the exertion of papal control over sensitive sites in Jerusalem, especially David’s Tomb; the Islamocatholic effort to push Jews out of the Temple Mount and Jerusalem in general.

We are left to wonder, is the Vatican establishing a seat for the final beast? Is the Vatican the “woman” who rides the New World Order/Islamic Beast?  What role, if any, does the state of Israel play in all of this? Is it the right to worship on the Temple Mount during Feasts? On Sabbaths? Is it the promise of peace?

We can be certain that the signs we are seeing is evidence that we are in the last days. Once/if the covenant is signed, I offer that the horses will ride and the globe will go where we’ve never been.

I urge each one to fast, repent, pray, and read scripture. I offer that we are, even now, today, being scrutinized for fitness to serve in the vineyard during the upcoming great harvest.

Whatever happens, let us that our own feeble humanity isn’t the issue, for we are told, “’Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD.” Understanding our anxiety over the days in which we live, Yeshua said, “And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Are Things About To Get Crazy?

IRAN DEAL ‘PLANTED THE SEEDS’ ‘FOR WORLD WAR III

Talk radio host and author of “Plunder and Deceit,” Mark Levin declared of the Iran deal “Barack Obama has planted the seeds…for World War III” and “This is Munich” on Tuesday.

Levin said, “Barack Obama has planted the seeds, in my view, for World War III. They were already there, but he’s moved it along. I honestly believe that the next, massive, conflagration, war will now be in the Middle East. And I believe the Saudis are going to get nukes, and the Egyptians are going to get nukes, and others, and you can hardly blame them.”

He continued, “there’s no effective inspection regime here. There’s no effective sanctions. The Russians and the Chinese are not going to allow them in any event. Obama has sealed the fate of the next generation. … I really believe that one day this is going to lead to a horrific war.” And that the deal has “sealed the fate of the people of Iran” and “may well have” sealed Israel’s fate.

He later declared, “This is Munich. This is the 1930s.” And “Meanwhile, here at home, while he’s arming up the Islamonazis with nukes, he wants to attack the Second Amendment, nationalize our police force, open our borders.”

Levin then argued Republicans “can’t stop this deal” because Obama now only needs 1/3ds of the Senate to defend his threatened veto of any legislation opposed to the deal, which he will get because Democrats won’t buck the president’s “cult of personality.” And that Republicans have “already created a legislative scenario where they can’t defeat it.”

He concluded, “We have, incredibly, the most pathetic political, so-called leaders this nation has ever had gathered at one time, in both parties.”

Ex-CIA chief: Iran deal worse than worthless

The current negotiations with Iran will provide Iran with $150 billion to fund terrorism and pursue nuclear weapons, warned James Woolsey, former director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and current chairman of Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

Speaking on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and Philadelphia’s NewsTalk 990 AM or online, Woolsey stated neither the negotiations nor any agreement that grows out of them “are going to substantively … do anything to stop the Iranians from having a nuclear weapon.”

This is in contrast to White House press releases being issued on the subject, he said.

Klein brought up his own report on WND documenting that Israeli defense officials note Iran has been paying the salaries of Hamas’ so-called military wing.

Even the State Department confirmed in last month’s report that Iran’s “state sponsorship of terrorism worldwide remained undiminished.”

When asked whether Obama’s negotiations are merely an attempt to secure a legacy for himself, Woolsey replied, “Whatever he’s interested in, his behavior is not restricting terrorism by Iranian-backed entities such as Hamas or … any others, and it is not moving us toward any important restrictions on Iran’s development of nuclear weapons.”

Woolsey stated the negotiations are not doing anything positive at all. “If the negotiations on Iran are halted, Iran will end up getting up to $150 billion to finance … terrorism and their nuclear weapon,” he said.

The ex-CIA director noted that when the current round of negotiations began, “We had some very solid objectives to get [Iran] away from having a nuclear infrastructure.” This included not letting Tehran enrich uranium, and to allow inspections to be conducted whenever something looked suspicious.

“All of these are gone,” said Woolsey. “We’ve been negotiating with ourselves. Since the Iranians won’t make any changes in the directions we needed, I guess the administration’s negotiators or the administration itself, decided we would negotiate with ourselves – and we have defeated ourselves. We have conceded to the Iranians virtually all of the major points in the negotiations.”

Ukrainian president: Record number of Russian troops on border

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said there are a "record number" of Russian troops on his country's border with Russia.

Speaking on Ukrainian television, Poroshenko said that the information came from Nato, US and EU sources as well as Ukrainian intelligence.

Reports of an increasing Russian presence on the border have been recurring since Nato commander Philip Breedlove warned last month of the risk of a return to heavy fighting in Eastern Ukraine. Kiev has repeatedly reported snap surges in violence by Russian backed rebels in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions during this time.

Most recently Ukraine's defence forces complained of 540 violations of the ceasefire signed between Moscow, Kiev and the rebels in February, in the space of a week at the end of June.

As early as May, a Reuters reporter described seeing a mass build up of troops and heavy weapons on the Russian side of the Ukraine-Russian border including tanks, rocket launchers and artillery.

Speaking about the current situation, Poroshenko told Ukraine's channel 1+1: "We have information that a record number of Russian armed forces have been stationed the Ukrainian border."

"The evidence we have is not solely from our own intelligence sources, but we have confirmation from Nato and US lines as well as from EU states," the Ukrainian leader added.

Poroshenko recently visited some of the easternmost positions held by pro-Kiev forces in Donetsk region, including the port city Mariupol, the outskirts of which have sustained some of the most persistent attacks from pro-Russian separatists since February.

"Today we have a completely different army compared with a year ago."

The Ukrainian president did not give a precise number for how many Russian soldiers he believes are now on Ukraine's border, but last month defence minister Stepan Poltorak estimated that there were 55,000.

Tsipras Stunner: Creditors Said "There Is No Point In Holding Elections" In Bailed Out Countries

While Germany's finmin Schauble is about to burst at few capillaries after reading the latest provocation from Tsipras in which he said, according to Reuters, that:

• GREEK PM TSIPRAS SAYS I SIGNED I DEAL I DO NOT BELIEVE IN BUT I'M WILLING TO IMPLEMENT AND WILL ASSUME RESPONSIBILITIES

It should be the Greek people that are reeling by another, even greater stunner, just spoken by the Greek PM during his TV interview: an admission from the chosen Greek "leader" that Greece, as a
sovereign nation, no longer exists:

• GREEK PM TSIPRAS SAYS LENDERS GIVE A MESSAGE THAT IN COUNTRIES UNDER A BAILOUT THERE IS NO POINT IN HOLDING ELECTIONS

So the Troika makes it clear that countries under a bailout, such as a Greece was and is about to be indefinitely again, democracy is finished and the country becomes a sovereign ward of a few unelected bureaucrats, and the Greek "prime minister" who also just admitted he is now nothing but a puppet of Greece's new unelected leaders, is Ok with this. 

The good news, at least for those who seek to connect dots, is we can now close the book on what Schauble was talking about when he said "Aber glauben Sie mir, das Problem ist lösbar" in this 2011 interview with Welt am Sontag:

Schauble: "We decided to arrive at a political union via an economic and currency union. We had the hope - and we still have it today - that the Euro will gradually bring about political union. But we're not there yet, and that's one of the reasons why the markets are distrustful. 

Welt am Sonntag: "So will the markets now force us into a political union?" 

Schauble: "Most member states are not yet fully prepared to accept the necessary constraints on national sovereignty. But trust me the problem can be solved."

At this point it is probably also worth repeating what Latvia's outgoing president Berzins said two weeks ago:

[the Greek] debt is so big that everyone understands that it won’t be repaid.... Loans to Greece have just bought time so that those in power don’t have to take decisions. This is like a game: who can hold out longer by not  showing that this money has been lost? This burden has become bigger and there obviously is no possibility to repay.... The debt writedown of Greek debt will come after bankruptcy of state.

Perhaps it is only fitting that democracy officially dies in the country in which it was born, a country which is about to very clearly demonstrate to the rest of the world that in this day and age, banks have infinitely more power and leverage that "sovereign" nations.

As for the Greeks: enjoy your now official "second-rate citizen" status as slaves of Brussels bureaucrats even as you liquidate all your most valuable assets, and hand over your gold for the generous honor of being allowed to repay the Troika's debt.
