NETANAYHU: BEWARE THE DEVELOPING 'ISLAMIC REICH'
December 19, 2006 / 28 Kislev 5767 - by Hana Levi Julian
Likud chairman Binyamin Netanyahu warned foreign ambassadors in Tel Aviv that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is working to create a 1,000-year Islamic Reich.
The former prime minister told a gathering of some 60 diplomats on Tuesday that Ahmadinejad is planning to carry out his genocide program using the nuclear weapon it is believed Iranian scientists are now building.
Netanyahu said as well that the program could be stopped in 1,000 days – approximately the same amount of time that the Mossad spymaster, Meir Dagan has said it will take for Iran to complete its work on a nuclear weapon.
Dagan told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday that Iran will succeed in developing an atomic bomb by 2009 or 2010 at the latest. Ahmadinejad announced 10 days ago that Iran has expanded production in its national uranium enrichment program by adding 3,000 centrifuges at a facility in the center of the country. The process has been banned by the United Nations Security Council, but its permanent members plus Germany have still not come to an agreement on whether to impose sanctions against the Islamic Republic. Dagan said Iran plans to add another 3,000 centrifuges within the next year. Netanyahu warned that the world’s governments must take action against Iran before Ahmadinejad succeeds in his mission to become the next Adolph Hitler. “When a world leader has openly called for genocide,” said Netanyahu, repeating his statement to a Jewish group last month in Los Angeles, “believe him.” Knesset member Danny Naveh and former Ambassador to the United Nations Dore Gold are joining Netanyahu in his quest to prosecute Ahmadinejad at The Hague.

HEZBOLLAH MINISTERS QUIT LEBANESE GOVERNMENT
Five officials who resigned were the only Shiite representatives - November 11, 2006 - BEIRUT, Lebanon - Five pro-Syrian Shiite Muslim ministers from Hezbollah and its ally, the Amal movement, resigned from Lebanon’s cabinet on Saturday after the collapse of all-party talks on giving their camp more say in government. The resignation of all the Shiite ministers from the 24-member Western-backed cabinet came two days before it was scheduled to discuss a draft U.N. document setting up a tribunal to try the killers of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri. Many Lebanese blame Syria for Hariri’s killing but Damascus denies involvement. Anti-Syrian majority leaders say Hezbollah and its ally want a decisive say in government to block key decisions such as approving the tribunal. The pro-Syrian camp say they want better representation in the cabinet and that they had agreed to the tribunal but want to discuss its details. While the resignations will not bring down the government, they pose a major challenge to the majority anti-Syrian coalition in a country where the political system is based on a delicate sectarian balance. Prime Minister Fouad Siniora rejected the resignations but a senior political source close to Hezbollah said the ministers stood by their decision to quit. http://www.msnbc.com

ISRAEL FADING, IRAN'S LEADER TELLS DENIERS OF HOLOCAUST
The New York Times, USA - Dec. 13, 2006 - Nazila Fathi - www.nytimes.com -  TEHRAN, Dec. 12 — A two-day gathering of Holocaust deniers and white supremacists ended Tuesday with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad meeting participants and telling them Israel would not survive long. “The Zionist regime will disappear soon, the same way the Soviet Union disappeared,” Mr. Ahmadinejad said, according to ISNA, a government-financed news agency. Thus, “humanity will achieve freedom.” He also suggested that the work of the government-sponsored conference — billed as a chance for “both sides” on the Holocaust to be heard — should continue with formation of a committee to determine whether the mass killings by Nazis of Jews and others really happened.
Mr. Ahmadinejad said the West had used the Holocaust as propaganda to dominate the Middle East. The conference continued to draw outrage among foreign leaders. Prime Minister Tony Blair called it “shocking beyond belief,” Agence France-Presse reported. “I think it is such a symbol of sectarianism and hatred towards people of another religion, I find it just unbelievable.” The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, condemned “in the strongest terms” dismissals of the Holocaust by “revisionist” historians, and the Vatican described the Holocaust as an “appalling tragedy to which one cannot remain indifferent.” The French foreign minister, Philippe Douste-Blazy, called “the resurgence of revisionist ideas” on the Holocaust “unacceptable.”
Although the conference, held by the Foreign Ministry, was said to be a chance for scholars to debate the Holocaust, the second day was much like the first. Most speakers, a group that included discredited scholars and a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, called the systematic annihilation of six million Jews a lie fabricated to form the state of Israel. The former Klan leader, David Duke, said in an interview on Tuesday, “I think Israel is more afraid of this conference than of Iran having nuclear weapons,” and “They are afraid a taboo has been broken.” Mr. Duke said he was at the conference to support freedom of speech. Despite the promises of open-mindedness, when one participant talked about the scholarship confirming the Holocaust, his views were quickly dismissed. That speaker, an Iranian historian, Gholamreza Vatandoust, from Shiraz University, said, “Some facts about the Holocaust have been documented.” But he was criticized immediately by Robert Faurisson, a French academic, who said he had never found documents to support the Holocaust. One of a few ultra-Orthodox rabbis at the conference, Moshe Ayre Friedman from Austria, said, “I am not a denier of the Holocaust, but I think it is legitimate to cast doubt on some statistics.”

HOLOCAUST ARCHIVES ON 60 MINUTES
December 17, 2006 From CBS News – Sunday night “60 minutes” - Good afternoon. I wanted to give you a heads-up on a story that will be running this Sunday, Dec. 17 (7PM ET/PT on CBS) on “60 MINUTES” about a long-secret German archive that houses a treasure trove of information on 17.5 million victims of the Holocaust. The archive, located in the German town of Bad Arolsen, is massive (there are 16 miles of shelving containing 50 million pages of documents) and until recently, was off-limits to the public. But after the German government agreed earlier this year to open the archives, CBS News’ Scott Pelley traveled there with three Jewish survivors who were able to see their own Holocaust records. It’s an incredibly moving piece, all the more poignant in the wake of this week’s meeting of Holocaust deniers in Iran. We’re trying to get word out about the story to people who have a special interest in this subject. So we were hoping you’d consider sending out something to your listserve and/or posting something on your website. Further information will also be available on our website http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1998/07/08/60minutes/main13502.shtml
which you’re welcome to link to from yours. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, and thanks for your consideration. Best, Robin Sanders CBS News 60 Minutes phone: 212-975-7598 email: sandersr@cbsnews.com

BOAT REPORT AND VISION
November 02, 2006 - Jerry Golden - The new boat is in the process of having the teak deck replaced, we discovered that the under structure had to be reinforced and new marine Plywood laid before laying the teak over it. This has proven to be much more costly than we thought. The radar as we already knew needs to be replaced and the SSB is not working but my be able to be repaired, the safety equipment is old and not something we’d want to risk lives at sea with and must be replaced. The hull integrity is in great condition as are both motors and generator. As much as the above will cost we still will come out with a great deal on this boat and it should be ready for operations within the next couple of months.
This new boat gives us the capability of making a trip to Turkey or Cyprus and back in the same day, where our sailing boat would take up to three days one way. It is not what we really would like to have but what we are able to afford at this time and we feel time is of the utmost importance.
My vision is to have a boat that has the capability of sailing at a fare speed and with the ability to motor at over 20 knots in open seas. One that we could bring volunteers from the US, Europe and elsewhere to be crew, where we could offer many ministries assistance in the Eastern Mediterranean and stay ready for the rescue of Jews when the mass Aliyah begins from Europe. Some one sent me a picture of such a boat and it is just what we really want and need. Those who come as volunteer as crew would have an adventure of a life time and the most unforgettable vacation they ever had. The operating cost would be mostly mooring and maintenance as the crew would always be volunteers. The one major problem to reaching this vision is not news as it is the same problem we had to reach for our first and second boat it is just a lot larger step on faith. I am praying for such faith as I know such a faith would be a gift from God and only He could cause it to happen. I am also praying that God will speak into the spirit of those who He would to give them the faith to join with me in this vision.
Below is a picture sent to me, it is not a boat I am presently in negotiating for but one like this is just what we really need
 
and could open up so many wonderful ministries. There many of these used boats on the market in Turkey as well as Europe they cost in the neighborhood of one to two million-up. I have prayed many hours over sending this report out, knowing it is a giant step on faith, but it is the obvious next step for this Ministry. When I consider the difficulty in raising the money needed to buy what we now have and then to think we can raise a million dollars is no small step on faith. In fact it takes supernatural faith that only comes by way of the Ruach Ha Koddesh (Holy Spirit)
This is a boat that could carry a large number of people, keep on it a fare number of volunteer crew and cause the interest we so desperately need for this Ministry. Will you pray with me for such a faith? Would you be interested in spending a month or so each year on a boat like this doing the Lord’s work in the Eastern Mediterranean?
What I need you to do besides praying about your largest gift possible in order to get us started towards the fulfillment of this vision that could save many Jewish lives as well as be a constant blessing to many Believers in the mean time as they come to spend a few weeks or a month onboard. I am going to ask you to print as many of this report as you need to give to as many Believers as you can. To ask them to join with us in blessing the Apple of God’s eye. You can direct them to our web site www.thegoldenreport.com for more information. For those getting this email you can forward it to as many as you possibly can, for if we are to raise this kind of money to move this ministry to the next level it will take many of God’s people to make it a reality. But above all else I am asking you to stop what you’re doing and pray, asking God what He would have you to do in regards to this Ministry.
It is my belief that we have precious little time as the world is on a self destruction course and anti-Semitism in Europe and world wide is on the rise. I started out to write an article on what is happening in Israel and the Ruach Ha Koddesh stopped me and told me to write about this vision. For God’s Word says that His people perish for lack of knowledge, and many of His people will certainly perish “again” if the knowledge of this and other ministries isn’t known among His people. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers. Pray for this Ministry and your part in it. For those reading this who don’t know how to donate to this Ministry I offer the below information. http://www.thegoldenreport.com/asp/jerrysnewsmanager/anmviewer.asp?a=1089&z=1

A VERY SERIOUS NEWSLETTRE, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
November 10, 2006 - Jerry Golden - If there has ever been time for this Ministry to be ready for the absolute worse it is now. Jews will soon be running for their lives out of Europe as well as other countries. I know how pessimistic that sounds to some, but the truth is we are looking at a very dangerous world that threatens to destroy much of what we love and have always taken for granted. Never has the future of the United States looked so depressing and never has there been a time when the average American has been so blinded by politician’s claiming to be something they are not. The civil rights of the citizens of the US are quickly being taken away right under their deceived noses. And Islamic Terrorists have formed sleeper cells all over the US preparing for the worse day in the history of the United States. My prayers go out daily for the US for it is a country that I love, in fact there has never been a greater country in the history of mankind, but don’t be deceived it has long sense been unable to call itself a Christian Nation and the curtain is now falling on that phase of mankind in this wicked world we now find ourselves. ... That is not to say you shouldn’t prepare, because you owe it to your family to do so, but get honest with yourself, you can’t prepare enough food to last for years for one thing it will take many thousands of gallons of water and tons of food. But you should have a few months supply of food and bare essentials just to be sure you have time to try to understand what has happened and to plan you survival.
Now is the time for you to get real about your Church and fellowship and compare it with the uncompromised Word of God. If you are playing any Church games “quit now” and get real with God and allow Him to speak into your spirit His Spiritual truths. Understand that all denominations are manmade but that does not mean that every teaching in them is not of God. It simply means that they have stripped out all they don’t want to have to live with and accepted what they like. They have also simply explained away God’s Word to suit themselves. God’s Word is not something you live with, but something you live by. Get by yourself every day with a King James Bible and ask God to lead you through it by the power of the Ruach Ha Koddesh (Holy Spirit).
Much of what many are now holding on to as their security will disappear in the blink of an eye, and they will either have the faith in God’s Word to go forward or they will perish, there is no other way. Full article

GAY PARADE IN JERUSALEM AND MORE
November 07, 2006 by Jerry Golden - As if we he don’t have enough trouble with Hezbollah rearming in Lebanon under the watchful eye of the UN, promising to attack Israel again in the near future; and Hamas in Gaza arming at an alarming rate with a reported 100+ weapons tunnels from Egypt. Preparing to do the same thing Hezbollah has done in Lebanon in this last war that our leadership failed to win and now we are paying a terrible price, with the almost guarantee to pay dearly in the near future.
I keep hearing that the large majority of the Islamic world are moderate, well lets assume that is true for a moment (but it isn’t). The numbers being passed around is that only 15 to 20% of the Moslems are Terrorists “Radicals”. So I did some number crunching again. There are around 1.8 billion Moslems in this world and that number is growing very fast. If 20% are Terrorists that is 360,000,000, think about that for a moment, and if the majority of the rest are potential recruits as Terrorists just how much trouble do you think you’re in.
Now we have the gay parade threatening to take place this coming Friday Nov. 10th. The Haredi have been protesting by burning trash in the streets and stoning the police. They have promised to be violent to the point that it will stop the parade if it takes place in Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Police are wanting to cancel the parade for security reasons knowing there will be blood shed but the Supreme Court has order it to take place.
Many have asked me what I thought of this whole affair so I will try to give you my feeling in a nutshell. These people who call themselves gay are sin sick, they are perverts. I remember when I was a small child we called them queers, then we got a little nicer and started calling them homosexuals, and then we started calling them gay, there is nothing gay about these sick people, they stand far everything that is against God, in fact God has condemned them to hell if they don’t repent and accept the Messiah.

GERMAN GLOBE MAKER 'ESTABLISHES' PALESTINE
Matt Zalen, THE JERUSALEM POST Nov. 20, 2006 - Pro-Israel advocacy groups campaign around the globe against the use of the word Palestine, since no such country exists, but it turns out that globes being sold in Israel bear the term. Billed as an educational toy that teaches young children geography, the widely sold "Ravensburger Puzzle Ball Classic Globe" includes both Israel and Palestine. Although the product has been on the market for more than two years, all of those contacted by The Jerusalem Post, from toy store owners to the Israeli distributor to the German manufacturer, reacted with surprise when informed of the imaginative geography. "The first time I learned about this issue was when [the Post] told me," said Hermann Bruns, an export manager for the manufacturer in Ravensburg, Germany. He said the design for the map was bought from a Chinese company, and that Ravensburger was only responsible for repackaging it. Demands to change the design have been quick to follow discovery of the error, with those involved in distribution and sales of the globe in Israel saying they have appealed directly to Ravensburger.
"I was very, very angry when I found out about this," said Meir Klughaft, CEO of Saheknu, which imports the puzzle globe. "I personally asked [Ravensburger] to change the product, and to remove the word Palestine and leave only Israel. They promised me in a letter that they would."
Store owners such as Arieh Margaliot, owner of Jerusalem's Rosenfeld's Toys, also joined the fray.
"I told him I wasn't happy," Margaliot said, referring to a meeting he had with Bruns last week. "And I said that a puzzle of the Kotel should be the next product that they make." Ravensburger said it was taking these concerns very seriously. While Bruns said there were no plans to recall the globes already on the market, the next version would be designed by a different globe manufacturer, and that it would not show a Palestinian state. "I sat down with the Research and Development team and expressed my concern," said Bruns. "The new puzzle map will come from the leading globe manufacturer in the world, and not from our Chinese licensor." Not everybody is happy with the German toy company's willingness to change its design. "I will be sending [Ravensburger] a very nasty letter, and I will tell all my Israeli and Palestinian friends to do the same," said Sa'ad Khatib, the trade policy adviser for PalTrade, a Palestinian private sector trade promotion organization. "Why keep denying the inevitable? Everybody knows that someday very soon there will be a state of Palestine," Khatib said. Toy and decorative globes either omitting the State of Israel or including a state of Palestine are nothing new. According to the Anti-Defamation League, the last occurrence was in 2002 when a product called the "Geo Genius World Globe" included Palestine, but no Israel. After being contacted by ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman, the retailer promised to rectify the error immediately. However, the ADL spokesman has never seen a case of mislabeled globes in Israel. "In Israel it's a bit bizarre for me to be discussing this," said Arieh O'Sullivan, director of communications at the Anti-Defamation League Israel office.

KISSINGER TO SERVE AS PAPAL ADVISER?
Pope Benedict XVI has invited Henry Kissinger, former adviser to Richard Nixon, to be a political consultant and he accepted. BY EDWARD PENTIN - Register Correspondent - November 26- December 2, 2006 Issue 11/22/2006 - VATICAN CITY — Over the course of his long and controversial career, former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has had many titles. Now he reportedly has one more — adviser to the Pope. According to the Italian newspaper La Stampa, Pope Benedict XVI has invited the 83-year-old former adviser to Richard Nixon to be a political consultant, and Kissinger has accepted. Quoting an “authoritative” diplomatic source at the Holy See, the paper reported Nov. 4 that the Nobel laureate was asked at a recent private audience with the Holy Father to form part of a papal “advisory board” on foreign and political affairs. As the Register went to press, Kissinger’s office was unable to confirm or deny the report. La Stampa stood by its story, although the Italian press is less rigorous in its authentication of stories as is the United States Press.
If true, there is speculation on which issues Kissinger would advise the Holy Father. Relations with Islam, Palestine and Israel, and Iraq — Kissinger has been critical of the conduct of the war but opposes a quick withdrawal — are likely to be high up on the agenda. It has also been speculated that, in view of the Muslim hostility to Benedict’s recent Regensburg speech, Kissinger might provide advice on dealing with an increasingly fractious Islamic world. Furthermore, like the Pope, Kissinger has analyzed the challenges of globalization and might provide advice in this area as well. “The idea [of his appointment] sounds like a good one,” said veteran Vatican journalist Sandro Magister. “But so would it also be to consult other experts on geopolitics with different orientations.” As possible expert advisers with different perspectives, Magister listed Catholic philosopher and former diplomat Michael Novak; Bernard Lewis, professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University; and foreign policy experts such as Charles Kupchan and G. John Ikenberry.
Expert Advice
The recruitment of Kissinger would not be unprecedented. Experts from a variety of disciplines, including the realm of economics, politics and philosophy, are regularly invited to advise popes and Vatican officials on current affairs.Full story: http://ncregister.com/site/article/1370/

IRAN REPLACES DOLLAR WITH EURO IN MOST OIL DEALINGS
TEHRAN, Dec. 5 (MNA) — Iran has started replacing dollar with euro in majority of its crude oil exchanges in the last several months, an informed source with Iran’s Oil Ministry said here on Tuesday.
Oil Ministry has taken the policy to substitute dollar with euro, and begun to implement it for most of its oil dealings, the source who spoke on the condition of anonymity told the Mehr News Agency.
“This can maintain the real value of Iranian oil,” he added. The majority of Iran crude’s customers are Asian and European states, the source noted. Iran is the number two oil producing member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). It also stands second behind Russia in terms of gas reserves in the world. http://www.mehrnews.com/en/NewsDetail.aspx?NewsID=416994

ITALIAN GUARDS LEAVE PORTS AT JEWISH, ISRAELI AND JEWISH INSTITUTIONS IN ROME
"Italian police guards have been withdrawn, without warning, from Israeli and Jewish institutions in Rome. About 10 days ago, without warning or explanation, the police cars that had been permanently stationed for over 10 years outside the El Al office in Rome, at Jewish community offices, the Jewish school and the synagogues throughout the city, suddenly disappeared - at all times on the eve of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's visit to the city, a visit that ended Wednesday night. The surprising step aroused apprehension among Jews in Rome, who have not forgotten the terrorist attack at the synagogue in 1982, when a 2-year-old boy, Stefano Tasha, was killed and 40 people were injured. Since then, the leaders and institutions of the Jewish community have had total protection - until this week. The city's Jews, who prayed last Saturday at 10 synagogues without security guards, fear that history will repeat itself and the next terrorist attack is drawing near. The Jewish school is also a priority target for terrorism. At least that is how it was described in the Italian media only about two months ago, and after angry protests from the Jewish community, it was agreed that the guards would be restored - temporarily. The police headquarters stated that it was intended that the police guards would be returned - perhaps even Thursday morning - to all the places which they had been guarding, but parents told Ma'ariv that they were "angry and concerned" about the new security instructions.
