Russia issues stark warning against attack on Iran

[BITEYOASS]

I'm surprised an Occupy Israel hasn't started yet, or a coup to oust Netanyahu. Oh yeah, I just had to play this song for the occasion:

[Seshmeister]

Meschech = The Moon
Persia = Delaware
Ethiopia = A small hedgehog called Brian
Gomer= Disneyland
Togarmah= A Toga Party

Yeah well back on planet Earth...

Sarkozy exposed by gaffe over Israel's Netanyahu

By Christian Fraser
BBC News, Paris

President Sarkozy's true thoughts slipped out - and not for the first time

The first rule of politics: "Don't ever speak in front of a live microphone, if you don't want to be overheard."

The comments that have heaped embarrassment on French President Nicolas Sarkozy and US President Barack Obama were made in a backroom meeting, ahead of a bilateral press conference. Private - but now out in the open.

The journalists had been told not to plug headphones into the translation boxes they had been given. It was too good an invitation. Those who did were treated to a rare insight into the importance of personal relationships in international politics.

"I can't stand him any more," said Mr Sarkozy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "He's a liar."

Mr Obama replied: "You're sick of him. I have to deal with him every day!"

The comments were made on Thursday, yet the French reporters who were waiting in the conference hall gathered in a huddle and agreed not to publish what they had heard.

Was it the honour of the press pack - or the overbearing deference (even fear) with which French journalists approach the political class? You can't help feeling if similar comments had been overheard by British journalists, the tabloids would have had a field day.

Inevitably the quotes found their way into the Israeli newspapers and the damage was done.

Brusque with journalists

President Sarkozy has often displayed his impatience with questions from the floor.

Last week at the G20, the BBC's Paul Mason was treated to a "Sarko smackdown" for the temerity of asking whether French and German pressure was forcing political change in Greece and Italy. Mr Sarkozy did not hide his disdain.


The Israeli PM opposes the Palestinians' current drive for statehood
So who will dare to ask the French president for his reaction to this story?

Regardless of any response that might follow (and so far there has been none), what it shows is that some world leaders do have a "difficult" relationship with the Israeli prime minister. Perhaps it is his intransigence on the building of settlements in Palestinian territories.

And while some will smile at the diplomatic tap dance that will no doubt follow, there is a serious side.

Peace negotiations, delicate as they are, depend on trust. And this quote reveals there is very little trust between the French president and the Israeli prime minister.

But then, Mr Sarkozy does seem to have a difficult relationship with several world leaders.

Particularly revealing is an article that appears today in Le Monde.

"European Disunion" is the headline. It features an image of President Sarkozy surrounded by other European leaders - and between them, the insults and sideswipes that over the years each has directed at the other.

Blunt language

Mr Sarkozy appears to have an opinion on all of them.

Of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, "she says she's on a diet then she helps herself to a second helping of cheese," he said. Of Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero: "perhaps he's not very intelligent."

When asked about Silvio Berlusconi's ability to deliver reform in Italy he was at least stuck for words - though the roll of his eyes spoke volumes.

Le Monde columnist Arnaud Leparmentier, quoting a member of the EU's European Council, said when fellow leaders pick up the phone to talk to one another, they will often joke, "do you want me to tell you what he (Sarkozy) said about you - or do you want to start by telling me what he said about me!"

All in all, not the image President Sarkozy would have hoped to portray at the G20 summit six months from an election. This was one of the last opportunities to show on the biggest stage that he is a leader of international stature, respected and liked.

The agenda of the G20 summit was hijacked by the Greeks - now it has been sidelined by his own indiscretion.

You can't leave Israel without getting a hand carved from olive wood nativity set from Bethlehem. Of course all of those are made by Muslim Palistinians. Muslims cashing in big on Jesus. They love it.

Well I bet that blacks in South Africa during apartheid would sell stuff to tourists to try and feed their families too.

[FORD]

Batshit Bachmann is apparently now demanding that Obama apologize to NuttyYahoo for what Sarkozy said.

As far as an "Occupy Israel" movement, I actually remember hearing about something like that taking place a few weeks ago. Of course you would never hear about that in the whore media, since they are all fans of NuttyYahoo, and love to project the blatant falsehood that every Jew on the planet - whether in the US, Israel, or otherwise - loves that demented son of a warmongering bitch, and supports everything he does.

Another thing, WTF is up with all of these televangelist assholes getting all giddy about Israel going to war against Iran. Especially this fat fuck named Pastor Hagee:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhJjl4bHQco

[FORD]

Hagee literally believes that the "final" borders of Israel must include ALL of the land that God promised to Abraham in the book of Genesis, and that this is necessary before JC can return. He and other evangelicals also believe that the Ezekiel 38 scenario - Russia and a Muslim coalition invading Israel and getting their asses kicked by God Himself - is the "opening kickoff" to the whole Rapture/Tribulation/End of the World thing.

So in other words, Hagee literally believes he's doing God's work by encouraging Israel to start this war. But then, this is the same guy who also thought HITLER was doing God's work by hunting down the Jews and killing 6 million of them, which resulted in the UN creating modern-day Israel, which Hagee believes to be the fulfilling of Ezekiel 37.....

Ezekiel 37
The Valley of Dry Bones
1 The hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

I said, “Sovereign LORD, you alone know.”

4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.

11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.’”
One Nation Under One King
15 The word of the LORD came to me: 16 “Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, ‘Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, ‘Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him.’ 17 Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand.

18 “When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you tell us what you mean by this?’ 19 say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim’s hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick. I will make them into a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.’ 20 Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on 21 and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. 22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. 23 They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding,[b] and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

24 “‘My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees. 25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your ancestors lived. They and their children and their children’s children will live there forever, and David my servant will be their prince forever. 26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever. 27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. 28 Then the nations will know that I the LORD make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them forever.’”

Admittedly, this picture could be described as a "valley of dry bones"......



....but it's obviously a ridiculous statement to say that Adolf was working for God. Also just as ridiculous to claim that God promised the entire middle east to just ONE branch of Abraham's family right after He told Abe that he (a 100 year old childless man at the time) would be "the father of MANY nations".

People sometimes say 'Why do you care what other people believe if you are an atheist? Why do you have to point out why they are wrong? They have their beliefs and faith and you have yours.'

This kind of thing is why.

London, England (CNN) -- They don't call it being "sent to Siberia" for nothing.

We learned this on the first day of our trip to Novokuznetsk, in the western part of this 5.1 million square-mile region of Russia, while filming a documentary about how and why the youth of this economically depressed city were in the death grip of a heroin epidemic.

It's a story squarely at odds with the rebranding of Russian youth as prosperous super humans living in a world of money, success and freedom.

In reality, Russia now consumes 21 percent of the world's heroin. And with a southern border more than 4,000 miles long, an area greater than the distance from New York to London, it's little wonder that Moscow's attempts at interdiction have largely failed.

A sense of Soviet-era poverty pervades in Novokuznetsk: the moldering grey housing blocks, the wake-up call of barking wild dogs, the 6 a.m. hotel breakfasts of Spam and hard-fried eggs speckled with dill. But we weren't here for fun. No one has much fun here.

Before we set off on our trip, we heard whispers of a new drug called krokodil -- a synthetic opiate made by mixing petrol, codeine pills, and eye drops -- that earned its reptilian nickname by turning users' skin scaly, eating them from the inside, and rotting the brain and limbs, before precipitating a painful death.

When researching the krokodil story, we heard grim tales of zombified addicts building DIY coffins to bury their friends, disfigured and brain-damaged ex-users, and religious cults disguised as rehab clinics. During a weeklong trip to Novokuznetsk, we found all of this -- and more.

My Brother calls that the Dawin effect. It's a shame really, but it is not the corruption of the government or a least not the above-ground government. That is the corruption of the underground government.

I viewed a show from Sweden, it was about a couple (young) that was killing themselves with smack. The Sweads showed mercy, but let nature take it's course. Those two died together during the documentary.
But again it is the lack of leadership from the underground, that leads those youths in your article to such chemistry experiments. It's a shame.
