Hell's Gate Discovered
ARCHAEOLOGY
Pluto's Gate Uncovered in Turkey
MAR 29, 2013 02:00 PM ET // BY ROSSELLA LORENZI
A "gate to hell” has emerged from ruins in southwestern Turkey, Italian archaeologists have announced.
Known as Pluto's Gate -- Ploutonion in Greek, Plutonium in Latin -- the cave was celebrated as the portal to the underworld in Greco-Roman mythology and tradition.
Historic sources located the site in the ancient Phrygian city of Hierapolis, now called Pamukkale, and described the opening as filled with lethal mephitic vapors.

“This space is full of a vapor so misty and dense that one can scarcely see the ground. Any animal that passes inside meets instant death,” the Greek geographer Strabo (64/63 BC -- about 24 AD) wrote.
“I threw in sparrows and they immediately breathed their last and fell,” he added.

He Bore The Sin of Many
Isaiah 53
English Standard Version (ESV)
1Who has believed what he has heard from us?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men;
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked
and with a rich man in his death,
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief;
when his soul makes an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant,
make many to be accounted righteous,
and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Militant Mystics: Their Corpses Decompose Fast
Militants practise mysticism, their corpses decompose fast
LAHAD DATU: The militant group who intruded into Lahad Datu, claimed they are fighters of Islam, but the marks found on their bodies showed they were using elements of mysticism, which is un-Islamic.
Among the items found on the bodies of the terrorists were amulets which they believed could make the terrorists invulnerable and a calendar used to predict a suitable day to attack the security forces.
According to sources in the security forces, some of the terrorists who were shot dead, wore amulets and had tattoos of Quranic verses on their bodies.
"They might be immune to bullets but not all the time. In fact, a mortar explosion can kill them even if their skins were impenetrable," he said.
He said a body of a dead terrorist which had black marks believed to have been caused by a bullet, could have been killed by mortar fire.
"Strangely, the bodies of practitioners of mysticism are quick to decompose and covered with maggots within an hour.
"The corpse of a normal person will only be covered with maggots if left exposed for more than two to three days."
Editor's note: This is not an endorsement of Islam, but rather a warning for practicing mystics in any form or religion.

North Korea rocket units on standby to attack US bases
THE GUARDIAN
Kim Jong-un ordered the rocket units to be put on standby after the US flew two stealth bombers over the Korean peninsula
North Korea put its rocket units on standby on Friday to attack US military bases in South Korea and the Pacific, after the United States flew two nuclear-capable stealth bombers over the Korean peninsula in a rare show of force.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signed off on the order at a midnight meeting of top generals and "judged the time has come to settle accounts with the US imperialists in view of the prevailing situation", the official KCNA news agency said.
On Thursday, the United States flew two radar-evading B-2 Spirit bombers on practice runs over South Korea, responding to a series of North Korean threats. They flew from the United States and back in what appeared to be the first exercise of its kind, designed to show America's ability to conduct long-range, precision strikes "quickly and at will", the US military said.

Brics’ Bid for New World Order
ZIMBABWE INDEPENDENT
THE fifth summit of Brics (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) countries, the first in Africa, which ended in Durban yesterday gave further momentum to efforts by key representatives of emerging markets and the developing world to create a new global order.
Brics, an acronym coined by British economist and retiring chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management Jim O’Neill, wants to ensure a new trajectory in global economic development, while contributing to peace and security.
In the process, it seeks to contribute towards establishing a more equitable and fair world.
...Brics has also been urging faster movement on reform of institutions of global political and economic governance, while encouraging different forms of engagement to encourage global peace and security.
While it is important to analyse and critique the Brics initiative, there is need to support such initiatives to reform and redefine the global political, security and economic order to ensure progress.
Many countries around the world want a fairer and more equitable global economic and financial order to replace the one dominated by major developed economies, especially the US due to its control over global institutions, including the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.
So Brics’ strategic objective to help shape a more democratic, fairer, multipolar world, and ensure the United Nations plays the central role in world affairs is useful. China and Russia are permanent UN Security Council members.
And if India, Brazil and South Africa succeed in getting permanent security council seats, it will further bolster Brics’ position and influence while helping in the creation of a new global order.
Editor's note: Apparently, the US is in the way of the fulfillment of the New World Order. Perhaps North Korea and Iran and associated networks are the proxies to destroy the "Old Order".

Islamists Congratulates Pope — While Cursing Christians Everywhere
FRONTPAGEMAG.com
In order to throw off their real agendas, mainstream radical Muslims work to placate – or at least confuse – those whom they perceive as their enemies. That was the case with the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), when the group congratulated the new Pope, while cursing Christians and Catholics everywhere.
On March 13, ICNA issued a press release “congratulating Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio on his election as the pope [Pope Francis] and leader of the worldwide Catholic Church.” For a group such as ICNA to offer such well wishes for members of the Christian faith might seem strange, as the group has propagated much hatred towards Christians – and does so to this day.
ICNA was established in 1971 as an American function of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), the Muslim Brotherhood movement of South Asia. The group based its beliefs on the teachings of Syed Abul Ala Maududi, the founder of JI and a rabid anti-Christian.
Young Muslims (YM) is the youth division of ICNA. On YM’s official website is a book section containing the full text of Maududi’s work, ‘Towards Understanding Islam.’ In it, Maududi makes the claim that Jesus taught Islam and that Christianity was nothing more than a fabricated religion forged by Jesus’ followers. Maududi states, “Although the religion taught by Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) was none but Islam, his followers reduced it to a hotchpotch called Christianity.”
And according to the YM site, not only is Jesus a Muslim, but in the future, Jesus is going to abolish Christianity. In YM’s ‘Signs Before the Day of Judgement,’ the following quote is attributed to Prophet Muhammad: “‘Jesus son of Mary will be a just administrator and leader of my Ummah. He will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizyah (tax on non-Muslims)… He will break the cross and kill pigs,’ i.e. Christianity will be annulled.”
Why Islam (WI) is ICNA’s religious outreach or dawah center. To make the point of Jesus being a Muslim even stronger – as well as other biblical figures – WI has created a campaign to place billboards up in key areas of the nation. One of the billboards is currently located adjacent to a major highway in South Florida. Complete with an ICNA logo and contact information, it reads, “What do Abraham, Moses, Jesus & Mohammed have in common? Islam.”

Muslim Brotherhood Tortured Christians in Mosque
FRONTPAGEMAG.com
Not a problem for Islamists. After all Jihad, the torturing and killing non-Muslims, is the highest form of worship in Islam.
Islamic hard-liners stormed a mosque in suburban Cairo, turning it into torture chamber for Christians who had been demonstrating against the ruling Muslim Brotherhood in the latest case of violent persecution that experts fear will only get worse.
Demonstrators say they were taken from the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in suburban Cairo to a nearby mosque on Friday and tortured for hours by hard-line militia members.
“They accompanied me to one of the mosques in the area and I discovered the mosque was being used to imprison demonstrators and torture them,” Amir Ayad, a Coptic who has been a vocal protester against the regime, told MidEast Christian News from a hospital bed.
Ayad said he was beaten for hours with sticks before being left for dead on a roadside. Amir’s brother, Ezzat Ayad, said he received an anonymous phone call at 3 a.m. Saturday, with the caller saying his brother had been found near death and had been taken to the ambulance.
Officials at the Bilal ibn Rabah Mosque said radical militias stormed the building, in the Cairo suburb of Moqattam, after Friday prayers.
“[We] deeply regret what has happened and apologize to the people of Moqattam,” mosque officials said in a statement, adding that “they had lost control over the mosque at the time.”
There are always “radical militias” to blame everything on. But the most radical militias are the ones running Egypt with the aid and support of Obama and Kerry.

Locusts swarm into Israel on Passover eve
Arriving with Biblically resonant timing, latest arrivals are ready to reproduce
A day before Passover, farmers in southern Israel were suffering from another plague of locusts, entering the country from Egypt with biblical timing.
The pests hit fields and greenhouses in the south; the Agriculture Ministry was working to prevent heavy damage to crops in the Negev and stop the insects from penetrating deeper into the country.

African Woman's Apparitions of Mary
Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima reincarnates in Burundi
A Burundian woman claims to see apparitions of the Virgin Mary, mirroring similar such sightings in Fatima, Portugal almost a century ago.
Zebiya Ngendakumana, 30, says she sees visions of Jesus's mother in almost a similar way to Lucia Santos and her cousins did, in sightings that are now known as the Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima.
Lucia Santos said she started seeing the apparitions in 1917, when she was 10 years old, while Ngendakumana also said she began seeing the Virgin Mary 20 years ago, when she was 10.
While, the Burundian says Jesus's mother appears on the 12th of each month, Lucia said she saw the apparitions of the Virgin Mary on the 13th monthly.
Both drew the ire of the police, with Lucia and her cousins, Jacinta and Fransisco Marto, at one time being arrested and threatened with torture, while Ngendakumana's supporters have drawn the ire of authorities culminating in Tuesday's bloodbath.
At least six people died, while 35 others were injured after police opened fire on Ngendakumana's supporters who had gathered to witness an apparition on Tuesday.

Israel fires into Syria after Golan attack on troops
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel said it fired into Syria on Sunday and destroyed a machinegun position in the Golan Heights from where shots had been fired at Israeli soldiers in a further spillover of the Syrian civil war along a tense front.
It was not immediately clear whether Israel held Syrian troops or rebels responsible for what a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said had been a deliberate attack on Israeli patrols in the occupied territory.

Egypt's opposition protesters clash with Muslim Brotherhood
Egypt's opposition protesters clash with Islamists
Cairo - Opposition protesters in Egypt have clashed with members of the governing Muslim Brotherhood in several towns, leaving scores of people injured.
In Cairo, the protesters ransacked one Brotherhood office, while in Mahalla in the Nile Delta the Islamist movement's headquarters was set on fire.
Riot police fired tear gas as the two sides pelted each other with stones.
Egypt has been rocked by violent protests this year, which have left dozens dead and many more injured.
Divided country
On Friday, several thousand activists supporters marched to Cairo's Mokattam area to face Brotherhood supporters and police guarding the movement's headquarters.
Clashes erupted soon afterwards, and the riot police had to use tear gas to keep the two sides apart.
Two buses owned by the Islamists were reportedly set on fire.
"We came to the stronghold of the Brotherhood. No more protests in front of the presidential palace because those ruling Egypt are here,'' protester Hamat Awat was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.
Meanwhile, Brotherhood offices were ransacked by protesters in another part of Cairo and also in the second-largest city Alexandria.

Meanwhile, Brotherhood offices were ransacked by protesters in another part of Cairo and also in the second-largest city Alexandria.

Waging Jihad To Impose Sharia Law
This is just one example of the ultimate goal of the Muslim Brotherhood...
Sharia law imposed in some rebel-controlled areas in Syria
The Syrian revolution has mutated from a spontaneous uprising against the authoritarian rule of the Assad family into a full-scale war, and is now changing yet again – into what appears to be a systematic, coordinated effort to impose strict Sharia Islamic law in those parts of Syria which have come under the control of the Jihadi elements in the anti-Assad coalition.
The Syrian anti-regime uprising began two years ago as part of the broader Arab Spring rebellion against authoritarian Arab regimes. In Tunisia, Egypt, and Yemen, the autocratic leaders decided to leave power without putting much of a fight.
In Libya, Col. Qaddafi fought back, but a NATO-led international coalition provided military support to the insurgents, and he was removed.
Syria is different from these cases in at least four respects:
•President Bashar Assad retains the support of about 20-25 percent of the population – Alawites, Druze, Kurds, Christians, and some middle class Sunnis. So far, most of the military and the security services have remained loyal to him.
•Assad also enjoys the support of outside forces – Iran, Iraq, Russia, and Hezbollah. These allies keep sending substantial military and economic support to shore up the regime, and Hezbollah has sent thousands of its fighters to help the Syrian military fight the rebels.
•There is no international coalition offering meaningful military support to the rebels.
•The Syrian war is more clearly a war of Sunni Arabs against a non-Sunni regime.
Most of the support for the rebels comes from two countries – Saudi Arabia and Qatar. As was the case in Libya, the Qataris direct their support almost exclusively to the most fundamentalist elements in the anti-regime coalition.
As a result, the Jihadist Jabhat al-Nusra, an group on the U.S. terrorist organization list, has emerged as the strongest militia among the different armies and militias fighting the regime.

Jihad, Muslim Brotherhood and the White House
FRONTPAGEMAG.com
Below is the video of the panel discussion “Obama and the Jihad,” featured at the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s 2013 West Coast Retreat. The event was held February 22nd-24th at the Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes, California. A transcript of the discussion follows.
"...An Egyptian magazine, by the way, just recently boasted that the Muslim Brotherhood is penetrating Washington. And one of the names they mentioned was Mohamed Elibiary."
"...that Muslim Brotherhood infiltrators into the US government have transformed the US from a position hostile to Islamic groups and organizations in the world to the largest and most important supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood."
"...We go from 20 years ago — where a Sharia defense basically gets laughed out of court on a very straightforward, confident idea of American law that we follow our own law in the United States, we don’t — Sharia’s not the law of the land — to a situation we have now where — not just in New Jersey; that case happened to be reversed on appeal — but in almost every state in the Union, we’ve had Sharia principles creeping into our law."
"...So we’ve gone from what I used to call willful blindness — where basically this ideology was fueling a terrorist campaign against us, and we turned a blind eye to it — to now, where we’re actually inviting people who are operatives of this ideology into the tent, and into our councils of government, where they’re advising on things like what our law enforcement, intelligence and military operatives ought to be trained with to go out and do their jobs."
"...And what we know is when a Muslim says jihad, “to purify oneself,” they’re not talking about becoming a better person; they’re talking about becoming a better, more Sharia-compliant Muslim. When they talk about purifying one’s community, they’re not talking about, you know, driving the drug dealers out. They’re talking about making your community more Islamically pure by driving out non-Islamic influences." "Bush was also sanguine about the infiltration of Muslim Brotherhood operatives into the United States. And there are photographs of him in meetings with Abdulrahman Alamoudi, who was the great friend of Grover Norquist, who is now serving 23 years in prison for financing al-Qaeda. That is, Alamoudi is, not Norquist. Unfortunately, Norquist is not yet in prison." "But this indicates that while the undeniable fact is that Obama and the jihad are friends and allies, and the evidence for this grows every day, this problem is far deeper than just Obama. And it is bipartisan. Both parties have been infiltrated. Both parties have been compromised."
"... Barack Obama, after all, said in one of his autobiographies ...he says that if the tide turns in an ugly direction, he will side with the Muslims."

Former US Attorney General: Global Jihad Threatens Western Civilization
Former AG Mukasey Lays Out Threat of Civilizational Jihad - BREITBART
Former US Attorney General Mike Mukasey laid out a forceful, somber, case on the threat of global jihad to Western Civilization this afternoon at Breitbart News' "Uninvited" panel. Speaking to a packed room, Mukasey presented his arguments meticulously, like the experienced litigator and judge he is. He equated rising Islamism to the 20th Century scourges of fascism and communism.
"Isms all want to rid the world of something. Nazism wanted to rid the world of Jews," Mukasey noted. "Communism wanted to rid the world of God. Islamism wants to rid the world of infidels."
Mukasey recalled his experience presiding over the trial of Omar Abdel Rahman, the "Blind Sheikh", convicted of plotting the 1993 bombing attack of the World Trade Center. Prosecutors in that case entered as evidence numerous sermons and speeches Rahman had given, urging his followers to take up violence as a means to impose Sharia law.
In fact, Mukasey noted, adherents of Islamism make no secret of their desire to impose Sharia law, which covers all aspects of society, wherever they can take operational control. Several suburbs in Paris, Mukasey said, were off limits to local law enforcement without the express authorization of local Islamists.
We don't confront this reality, only because the political elites in America have consciously chosen to ignore it. Mukasey chided his former boss, George Bush's regular refrain that Islam was a "religion of peace." Mukasey stressed that we should show respect to those muslim voices that reject the imposition of Sharia law, but remain vigilant against those who do. "They want a world without infidels," Mukasey warned. "The want a world without us."
Editor's note: Pope Francis puts the burden to intensify dialogue with Islam on The West, while Patriarch Gregory III warns Pope Francis that Christians are in danger in the Middle East.

King Abdullah’s Muslim Brotherhood Warning
New York Post
As President Obama arrives in the Middle East today, Jordan’s King Abdullah has a message for us: We’re naïve about the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood, which now runs Egypt and is working for control in Syria and other parts of the region.
In an interview with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, the king says too many Western leaders believe “the only way you can have democracy [in the Middle East] is through the Muslim Brotherhood.”
The Brotherhood, he says, is run by “wolves in sheep’s clothing.” But “when you go to the State Department and talk about this, they’re like, ‘This is just the liberals talking, this is the monarch saying that the Muslim Brotherhood is deep-rooted and sinister.’ ”
Let’s remember who’s speaking here. This is not some neo-con. This is a leader of a modernizing and democratizing Muslim nation who claims direct descent from the Prophet Mohammed — speaking more openly than any other leader before him.

Pope Urges All Religions to Unite for Peace, Justice
Reuters March 20, 2013
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis urged members of all religions and those belonging to no church on Wednesday to unite to defend justice, peace and the environment and not allow the value of a person to be reduced to "what he produces and what he consumes''.
Francis, elected a week ago as the first non-European pope in 1,300 years, met leaders of non-Catholic Christian religions such as Orthodox, Anglicans, Lutherans and Methodists, and others including Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus.
"The Catholic Church is aware of the importance of furthering respect of friendship between men and women of different religious traditions,'' the Argentine pontiff told the religious leaders in an audience at the Vatican.

North Korea threatens to attack US bases in Okinawa, Guam
RT NEWS
North Korea has threatened to target US airbases in Okinawa and Guam as it issued an air raid alert on Thursday and ordered its military to stand ready, the country’s state media reported.
"The United States is advised not to forget that our precision target tools have within their range the Anderson Air Force base on Guam where the B-52 takes off, as well as the Japanese mainland where nuclear powered submarines are deployed and the navy bases on Okinawa," the North Korean command spokesman was quoted as saying by KCNA news agency.
The threats came as a response to the use of nuclear-armed US B-52 bombers in joint war games South Korea held with the US. "We cannot tolerate the US carrying out nuclear strike drills, setting us as targets, and advertising them as strong warning messages," the spokesman said.
The air raid alert was issued at 9:32 am local time (00:32 am GMT) with military units and civilians told to take cover, Korean Central Television said.
A news report by South Korea’s Yonhap news agency suggested that the warning appears to be a part of a military drill, though this has not been confirmed by Pyongyang.

Comet To Soar Over Israel During Obama’s Visit: Is This A Final Sign Of Prophecy?
As if there weren’t already enough signs in the Heavens, Comet Pan-Starrs will be passing over Israel with the arrival of Barack Obama in this Year of the Comet. Throughout history, comets have been interpreted as harbingers of plague, impending disaster, or the ascension of a new king.

It is very rare to see two bright comets in one year according to NASA. Comet ISON could shine as brightly as a full moon in the middle of the day. The comet will reach its perihelion on Nov. 28.

Obama To Enter Jerusalem Riding The Beast
YNETnews.com
Obama to travel Jerusalem in 'The Beast'
WASHINGTON - United States President Barack Obama 's security team is taking no chances: During the presidential visit in Israel which begins next Wednesday, the president will ride around Jerusalem in The Beast, the aptly named tank-turned-car, a rolling fortress.
Obama's motorcade will include two such vehicles – each costing $300,000 – driving around between a huge entourage of uniformed and undercover security men.
...The Beast, the latest and the most significant change in presidential security procedures, was revealed at Obama's first inauguration in 2008, when upon seeing it, the president remarked on its similarity to a Boeing airplane.
The car is sealed and protected from chemical and biological weapons. The windows are bullet-proof, and its doors are an alloy of steel, aluminum, titanium and porcelain – proof against roadside-charges and rocket fire.
In addition, the gas tank is armored; the bumpers are equipped with night-vision sensors, cameras and devices to launch tear-gas.
Editor's note: Sunday, March 24 is Palm Sunday. Is this irony or allegory?

Obama’s Middle East Map Erases Israeli Territory
BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff
March 18, 2013 5:29 pm
The map of the Middle East displayed in an Obama administration video released days before President Barack Obama’s visit to Israel shows the Jewish state dispossessed of substantial parts of its current territory, including its capital.
The map of Israel, displayed repeatedly during the video, shows the Golan Heights, Jerusalem, northern Israel, and areas surrounding what is currently the West Bank as non-Israeli territory. The Golan Heights is shown as part of Syria; Jerusalem is shown as part of the West Bank; and northern Israel is shown as part of Lebanon.
The itinerary on the White House website also implies that Jerusalem is neither Israel’s capital nor even part of Israel.
The president’s schedule lists two stops in “Tel Aviv, Israel” and one in “Amman, Jordan” but his activities in Israel’s capital city are identified as taking place only in “Jerusalem” — with no country name attached. This keeps with a reluctantly-acknowledged administration policy of denying that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital or even a part of Israel.

Al Mohler on the Papacy
Christian Research Network
In his 14 March 2013 podcast of The Briefing, Dr. Albert Mohler of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary shared his thoughts on the office of pope, especially in light of yesterday’s election of Pope Francis I. Associated Baptist Press reports on Mohler’s comments:
“Evangelical Christians simply cannot accept the legitimacy of the papacy and must resist and reject claims of papal authority,” Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, said in a podcast commentary March 14. “To do otherwise would be to compromise biblical truth and reverse the Reformation.”
Mohler said the reformers rejected papal authority during the 16th century for good reasons that are seemingly forgotten today by “some liberal Protestants and careless evangelicals” seeking theological consensus and common ground on social issues like marriage and the sanctity of human life.
“First and foremost, evangelicals must affirm that the doctrine of justification by faith alone is an essential, because that is the very definition of the gospel itself, and there is nothing more core, central and essential than the gospel,” Mohler said.

“First and foremost, evangelicals must affirm that the doctrine of justification by faith alone is an essential, because that is the very definition of the gospel itself, and there is nothing more core, central and essential than the gospel,” Mohler said.
Warren’s Ecumenical Call to Fast, Pray for Cardinals Seeking New Pope Called ‘Real Tragedy’
Christian News Network
An evangelical ministry that has worked for over 20 years to share the Gospel with Roman Catholics is expressing concern over a ecumenical Tweet that author and megachurch pastor Rick Warren posted early this morning.
At 2:57 a.m., Warren sent out the following call to his over 900,000 followers on Twitter: “Join me today in fasting and prayer for the 115 Cardinals seeking God’s Will in a new leader.”
Since posting the Tweet, which was re-Tweeted over 170 times as of press time and favorited over 80 times, and is being shared widely in a screen shot photograph on Facebook, his comment has received response from both sides of the issue.
...Mike Gendron of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries of Dallas, Texas told Christian News Network that he was particularly disappointed in Warren’s comments.
“I’m very concerned because what this does is it confuses the average evangelical,” he said. “Right now, the Body of Christ doesn’t know whether to evangelize Roman Catholics or to join hands with them to go out and evangelize the world, [and] it’s because of people like Rick Warrren who either don’t know how exclusive the Gospel of grace is, or he’s not aware of the false and fatal Gospel of the Roman Catholic religion.”
Gendron, a former Roman Catholic, stated that Warren’s Tweet is harmful in two ways.
“Rick Warren is doing a disservice to the Roman Catholic Church because he is putting the Gospel off limits to the the Body of Christ for evangelizing Roman Catholics,” he explained. “And so, if they don’t hear the Gospel, they have no hope in ever being saved.”
“Ultimately, it’s a real tragedy,” he said before delving into his second point. “It’s unfortunate because we have a ministry that is dedicated to equipping and encouraging the Body of Christ to reach out to Roman Catholics, and it’s because of people like Rick Warren and other highly visible evangelicals that are signing unity accords with Roman Catholics … that we are getting friendly fire from the evangelical Church.”

Petrus Romanus Arrives on 3/13/2013 at 20:13
In Petrus Romanus we stated our belief that the name “Peter the Roman” implies this pope “will reaffirm the authority of the Roman Pontiff over the Church” and “will emphasize the supremacy of the Roman Catholic Faith and the Roman Catholic Church above all other religions and denominations, and its authority over all Christians and all peoples of the world.”[8] This seems in line with the Jesuit agenda. Still more, Catholic mystic Ronald L. Conte Jr., who predicted in 2002 that the successor to John Paul II would choose the name Benedict XVI, commented on 3-13-13:
I never expected Peter the Roman to be Italian or Roman or to have the first name Peter, or to take the papal name “Peter”. So these points do not imply that Pope Francis is not Peter the Roman. The prophetic phrases of St. Malachy describe the Pontificate of each Pope, not his name.[9]
According to Conte, “During the reign of Pope Peter the Roman, the great apostasy begins” and this pope will mark “the first part of the tribulation, during our generation.”[10]

Petrus Romanus is Here!
This is a rush script from Raiders News Update and we’ll be able to give you more information as we analyze this fantastic fulfillment of prophecy.
http://e2.ma/message/atdxf/ugl25f
1. To start with, remember as we have told audiences repeatedly, the only thing needed to fulfill the Prophecy of the Popes would be a Cardinal of Italian descent and the new Pope Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the son of Italian parents (Roman).
2. Even more important is that he is the first Jesuit Pope ever (or at least for a very long time, we are researching this) and this is a VERY important aspect of the prediction in our book because we said the name "Petrus Romanus" from the prophecy "implies this pope will reaffirm the authority of the Roman Pontiff over the Church and will emphasize the supremacy of the Roman Catholic Faith and the Roman Catholic Church above all other religions and denominations, and its authority over all Christians and all peoples of the world" (Petrus Romanus pgs 437-438). Concerning the Jesuits, their order was organized "to stop Protestantism from spreading and to preserve communion with Rome and the
successor of Peter..."
Also note this from Wikipedia:
The 35th General Congregation of the Society of Jesus convened on 5 January 2008 and elected Fr. Adolfo Nicolás as the new Superior General on 19 January 2008. A month after, the Pope (Benedict) received members of the General Congregation and urged them to "to continue on the path of this mission in full fidelity to your original charism" and asked them to reflect so as "to rediscover the fullest meaning of your characteristic 'fourth vow' of obedience to the Successor of Peter." For this, he told them to "adhere totally to the Word of God and to the Magisterium's task of preserving the integral truth and unity of Catholic doctrine." This clear identity, according to the Pope, is important so that "many others may share in your ideals and join you effectively and enthusiastically." The Congregation responded with a formal declaration titled "With New Fervor and Dynamism, the Society of Jesus Responds to the Call of Benedict XVI", whereby they confirmed the Society's fidelity to the Pope.
As a Jesuit, Bergoglio also makes the perfect Pope to fulfill our second book's (Exo-Vaticana) Chardinian Jesuit predictions who have been secretly arguing in favor of a coming an alien savior (MUCH MORE ON THAT WITH THE BOOK RELEASE NEXT WEEK).
Also note this Pope was elected on 3-13-13 at 8:13 (phenomenally occult numerology) Vatican time while specifically on this date (13th) Pan-STARRS (Pan-demonium, all the demons) appeared close to the moon, even silhouetting it according to SPACE.com stargazing columnist Geoff Gaherty, an astronomer with the Starry Night Education night sky software company.
Prophecy of the Pope Fulfilled?
WND
http://mobile.wnd.com/2013/03/pope-francis-historys-final-pontiff/
An author who predicted Pope Benedict XVI would be the first pontiff in nearly 600 years to resign believes the election today of Jorge Mario Bergoglio as the 266th Roman Catholic pontiff lines up with a medieval prophecy that would make him the “final pope” before the End Times.
Tom Horn, co-author with Cris Putman of the book “Petrus Romanus: The Final Pope is Here,” told WND today Bergoglio’s selection was a “fantastic fulfillment of prophecy.”
His book examines St. Malachy’s “Prophecy of the Popes,” said to be based on a prophetic vision of the 112 popes following Pope Celestine II, who died in 1144.
Malachy’s prophecies, first published in 1595, culminate with the “final pope,” “Petrus Romanus,” or “Peter the Roman,” whose reign ends with the destruction of Rome and the judgment of Christ.
Horn has said a pope of Italian descent would fulfill the prophecy, noting Bergoglio is the son of Italian parents and a Jesuit.

Horn pointed out the Jesuits order was organized “to stop Protestantism from spreading and to preserve communion with Rome and the successor of Peter.”
As WND reported, Horn and his co-author, Cris Putnam, predicted in their book Benedict would step down, making way for history’s “final pope.”

RNN NOTE: That Bergoglio--the final Pope on St. Malachy's list and the one prophesied to reign over the church as it enters the Great Tribulation period--named himself after Saint Francis of Assisi is intriguing given that shortly before his death Assisi prophesied that at the time of the tribulation a man would "be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavor to draw many into error and death… Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it under foot and deny it…for in those days Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor, but a destroyer” [Works of the Seraphic Father St. Francis of Assisi (1182–1226), Washbourne, 1882 AD, 248].
Furthermore, in naming himself after Assisi, Bergoglio branded himself after an Italian (Roman) priest whose original name was Francesco di Pietro (Peter) di Bernardone -- literally, Peter the Roman.

Astrobiologists Find Ancient Fossils in Fireball Fragments
MIT
Algae-like structures inside a Sri Lankan meteorite are clear evidence of panspermia, the idea that life exists throughout the universe, say astrobiologists.
On 29 December 2012, a fireball lit up the early evening skies over the Sri Lankan province of Polonnaruwa. Hot, sparkling fragments of the fireball rained down across the countryside and witnesses reported the strong odour of tar or asphalt.
Over the next few days, the local police gathered numerous examples of these stones and sent them to the Sri Lankan Medical Research Institute of the Ministry of Health in Colombo. After noticing curious features inside these stones, officials forwarded the samples to a team of astrobiologists at Cardiff University in the UK for further analysis.
...The most startling claims, however, are based on electron microscope images of structures within the stones (see above). Wallis and co. say that one image shows a complex, thick-walled, carbon-rich microfossil about 100 micrometres across that bares similarities with a group of largely extinct marine dinoflagellate algae.

USA Today: New world, New Pope
ROME — The world has a new pope. And this pope, Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina, now simply Francis, has to confront a new world.
"Brothers and sisters, buona sera," Francis said Wednesday, addressing the delirious rain-soaked crowd in St. Peter's Square with a noticeably personal and inclusive style. "Let's start this journey of brotherhood, love and trust."
That journey won't be easy. In the eight years since a similar papal conclave elected the recently resigned Pope Benedict XVI, the Catholic Church has faced vexing problems, from banking coverup charges to damaging internal leaks.

God Particle Discovery Confirmed
BBC
LHC cements Higgs boson identification
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider say the particle outlined in July 2012 looks increasingly to be a Higgs boson.
The Higgs, long theorised as the means by which particles get their mass, had been the subject of a decades-long hunt at the world's particle accelerators.
What remains unclear is if the particle found at the LHC is the simplest form of Higgs, or something more "exotic".
Results presented at the Moriond meeting in Italy point to it being a simple, "Standard Model" version.
Teams from the two Higgs-hunting experiments, Atlas and CMS, analysed two-and-a-half times more data than were available in July in an effort to pin down not only the particle's existence, but also something about its character.
Subatomic particles are characterised by properties including their "spin" and "parity".
In the case of the particle announced last year, these properties become evident only through the analysis of precisely how it decays quickly into other particles within the LHC's detectors.
"The preliminary results with the full 2012 data set are magnificent and to me it is clear that we are dealing with a Higgs boson, though we still have a long way to go to know what kind of Higgs boson it is," said CMS spokesperson Joe Incandela.

NASA: Mars conditions may have once supported life
NASA ‘s Curiosity rover has discovered evidence that the martian environment may have supported life billions of years ago.
Chemical analysis of the drill samples taken from the Red Planet’s rocky soil shows that it contains clay minerals formed in an aquatic environment that was slightly salty, non-acidic, with plenty of energy-rich minerals — including sulfates.
According to Curiosity’s lead scientist, John Grotzinger from the California Institute of Technology, the rover is in an area known as Yellowknife Bay, where water likely once flowed.
...“We have found a habitable environment that is so benign and supportive of life, that if you lived there, the water would have been pure enough to drink,” said Grotzinger.
Scientists did not go so far as to conclusively declare a finding of the kind of organic compounds thought to be essential to life. They failed to find the carbon-based precursors to amino acids and sugars, crucial to life as we know it on Earth. However, NASA scientists say they intend to investigate the question further.

Another Meteorite Strike
RSOE Emergency and Disaster Information Service
Budapest, Hungary
RSOE EDIS ALERTMAIL
2013-03-13 10:10:48 - EVENT INTO SPACE - SOUTH AFRICA
EDIS Code: CO-20130313-38514-ZAF
Date&Time: 2013-03-13 10:10:48 [UTC]
Continent: Africa
Country: South Africa
State/Prov.: State of Western Cape,
Location: ,
City: Cape Town
Description:
Residents across Cape Town claimed to have sighted a meteorite on Tuesday after what appears to have been a fireball "exploded" in the sky. It is said to have been sighted just after noon. Nicola Loaring, an outreach astronomer at the South African Astronomical Observatory, said they had received about four or five reports. The green and blue light with a white tail that was reported to them appeared to be that of "a fireball, which is a bright meteor". Fireballs were caused by dust formed in space that enter Earth's atmosphere. "There are two meteor showers in March with one peaking on March 13 and this could be related to that. Loaring said another meteor shower would start later this month and peak in April." "Meteor showers are best viewed in the morning. Up to eight an hour can be seen," Loaring said. People shouldn't be alarmed since these were "common and predictable". Company director John Houston captured part of the event on camera while he was driving on the N1 from Stellenbosch. There was a "huge" explosion that left a white cloud close to the Durbanville hills, he said.

Southern California earthquake: More than 100 aftershocks
Monday morning's magnitude 4.7 earthquake in Riverside County was followed by more than 100 small aftershocks that radiated northeast, indicating that the quake occurred on a secondary fault of the San Jacinto fault, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The largest aftershock, a 3.2 quake, struck less than a minute after the first quake. The second, a 2.8 magnitude quake, occurred at 11:25 a.m. Another 2.8 quake occurred at 12:50 p.m. The vast majority of the aftershocks were largely imperceptible, with magnitudes smaller than 2.5. Valleys and other low elevation areas feel the effects most strongly, said Susan Hough, a USGS seismologist.
"Deeper earthquakes tend to have wimpy aftershocks," Hough said.
The 4.7 quake was initially recorded as three separate quakes because a foreshock tricked seismograms into recording multiple quakes of multple sizes, Hough said.
Earthquakes of a 4.7 magnitude are typically only felt about 120 miles away from the epicenter, but Monday morning's quake traveled farther, shaking coffee cups as far as Los Angeles.
That's because the quake occured in the San Jacinto Mountains, which are composed of hard granite rock that transmits energy more efficiently, Hough said.

Three earthquakes hit Southern California
Three earthquakes have shaken Southern California, Reuters reports, citing the U.S. Geological Survey.
The USGS's monitoring system places the epicenter of the earthquakes in the desert near Anza, about 100 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
One quake struck at 9:55 a.m. Monday and was initially estimated at magnitude 5.1 but that was quickly downgraded to 4.7. The other two were magnitude 4.6 and 3.0, according to the USGS.
The earthquakes were felt sharply in the local area and also rolled through downtown Los Angeles, San Diego and in Orange County.

The Vatican and Alien Evangelists?
From the stunning, soon to be released book EXO-VATICANA
"...Unbeknownst to most Roman Catholics, the retired Pope Benedict XVI is a Chardinian mystic of the highest order. His book, Credo for Today: What Christians Believe (2009), follows the lead of the Jesuit and states unequivocally that a belief in Creationism (the idea that life, the Earth, and the universe as we know it today did not “evolve” but rather were created by the God of the Bible) “contradicts the idea of evolution and [is] untenable today.”[vii] Following his rejection of Creationism and support of evolution, Pope Benedict XVI employed the doctrine of the Second Coming of Christ to advance Chardin’s “Omega Point,” in which a “new kind” of God, man, and mind will emerge. From page 113 we read:
From this perspective the belief in the second coming of Jesus Christ and in the consummation of the world in that event could be explained as the conviction that our history is advancing to an “omega” point, at which it will become finally and unmistakably clear that the element of stability that seems to us to be the supporting ground of reality, so to speak, is not mere unconscious matter; that, on the contrary, the real, firm ground is mind. Mind holds being together, gives it reality, indeed is reality: it is not from below but from above that being receives its capacity to subsist. That there is such a thing as this process of ‘complexification’ of material being through spirit, and from the latter its concentration into a new kind of unity can already be seen in the remodeling of the world through technology.[viii]
The term “complexification’ was coined by Chardin (and the technological allusions it suggests is akin to transhumanism and Ray Kurzweil’s Singularity) and the pope’s complete devotion to this theology is again laid bare in his book, Principles of Catholic Theology (1987), which states:
The impetus given by Teilhard de Chardin exerted a wide influence. With daring vision it incorporated the historical movement of Christianity into the great cosmic process of evolution from Alpha to Omega: since the noogenesis, since the formation of consciousness in the event by which man became man, this process of evolution has continued to unfold as the building of the noosphere above the biosphere.[ix]
This “noosphere” is taken very seriously today in modernist Catholic theology, academia, and even science. It is explained in the scientific journal, Encyclopedia of Paleontology, this way:
Teilhard coined the concept of the “noosphere,” the new “thinking layer” or membrane on the Earth’s surface, superposed on the living layer (biosphere) and the lifeless layer of inorganic matter (lithosphere). Obeying the “law of complexification/conscience,” the entire universe undergoes a process of “convergent integration” and tends to a final state of concentration, the “point Omega” where the noosphere will be intensely unified and will have achieved a “hyperpersonal” organization. Teilhard equates this future hyperpersonal psychological organization with an emergent divinity [a future new form of God].[x]
The newly sanctioned doctrine of an approaching “emergent divinity” in place of the literal return of Jesus Christ isn’t even that much of a secret any longer among Catholic priests (though the cryptic Charindian lingo masks it from the uninitiated). For instance, in his July 24, 2009, homily in the Cathedral of Aosta while commenting on Romans 12:1–2, the pope said:
The role of the priesthood is to consecrate the world so that it may become a living host, a liturgy: so that the liturgy may not be something alongside the reality of the world, but that the world itself shall become a living host, a liturgy. This is also the great vision of Teilhard de Chardin: in the end we shall achieve a true cosmic liturgy, where the cosmos becomes a living host. [xi]
This is overtly pantheistic and, of course, the text he was discussing (Romans 12) teaches the exact opposite: “Be not conformed to this world” (Romans 12:2a). While the pope thus aggressively promotes Chardin’s process of “noogenesis” in which the cosmos comes alive and everyone unifies as a “living host,” one can readily see that Brahman, Nirvana, Overmind, and Singularity are roughly equivalent to this monistic concept. Interestingly, noogenesis (Greek: νοῦς=mind; γένεσις=becoming) actually has two uses: one in Chardin’s Darwinian pantheism—and another, more telling rendering—within modern astrobiology."

FORMER CIA SPY: Iran & Al Qaida Plot Next Attacks
World Net Daily
Reza Kahlili has done it, again.
Yesterday the Iranian-American who served as a CIA spy in the Islamic regime’s Revolutionary Guard, did his adopted country another great service – exposing the fact that Iran is supporting al-Qaida, as it has in the past, by providing terrorist training camps.
From these camps, al-Qaida is right now planning and rehearsing its next dramatic attacks on the U.S. and other Western nations.
This is not news the Obama administration wants you to know. It would prefer if you believe al-Qaida is on the run, washed up, finished as a terrorist threat to the U.S. The administration would also like you to believe that Iran can be persuaded to give up its quest for nuclear weapons through diplomacy.
Every week, Reza Kahlili puts the lie to those fairytales.
Reza Kahlili is a pseudonym. His real identity is concealed for his own protection. He is one of the Iranian regime’s worst nightmares, having exposed in the pages of WND the regime’s continued development of nuclear weapons. So devastating to Iran have been Kahlili’s reports that Iranian officials have attacked WND by name, as have their surrogates in Hezbollah.
It’s not so much WND Iran detests as it is Reza Kahlili – a truth-teller who loves his adopted home of America as well as his former homeland of Iran.
He’s a walking, talking example of why some of the best Americans are actually foreigners – refugees from hellish, authoritarian nightmare lands like Iran.

America: North Korea's Nuclear Threats Are Real
America, North Korea's threats are not coming from a crazy uncle -- they're real - FOX NEWS
"...Everything North Korea has accomplished in recent months has burnished its catalog of weapons systems and know-how. These are routinely sold to rogue regimes around the world. Syria has been a recent customer; North Korea helped it build a carbon copy of Pyongyang’s plutonium-producing reactor (since destroyed by Israel).
"...Everything North Korea has accomplished in recent months has burnished its catalog of weapons systems and know-how. These are routinely sold to rogue regimes around the world. Syria has been a recent customer; North Korea helped it build a carbon copy of Pyongyang’s plutonium-producing reactor (since destroyed by Israel).
Iran and North Korea cooperate closely as well. Reports indicate officials from both countries have been present at each other’s nuclear sites. This is the more likely path to North Korea’s nuclear program destroying an American or allied city.
Thus, the crazy uncle of Northeast Asia cannot be ignored. The Obama administration seems to accept this, but the only idea the Washington foreign policy establishment ever has with North Korea is to talk more to the regime. The two previous U.S. administrations tried this, and it is clear Pyongyang only engages in talks to extract foreign aid and buy time; never to follow through with promises to disarm or behave."
Hamas: Obama Visit to Temple Mount - a Declaration of War
Arutz Sheva
Hamas and Islamic Jihad say that a visit by Obama to the Temple Mount will be a declaration of war on the Islamic world.
The Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups threatened on Friday that a visit by U.S. President Barack Obama to the Temple Mount during his upcoming visit to Israel will be a declaration of war on the Arab and the Islamic world.
A Hamas representative in the Al-Aqsa mosque, Mushir al-Masri, even called for a third intifada (uprising) and for Egyptian assistance in the "resistance" if Obama chooses to visit the Temple Mount.
According to the Bethlehem-based Ma’an news agency, the Gaza-based terrorist organizations made the threats during a protest march on Friday over the riots that broke out earlier in the day on the Temple Mount.
According to the report, Khalid al-Batash, a senior Islamic Jihad member, also called to prevent Obama from visiting the compound.
Obama will be arriving in the region later this month, and PA media has been widely speculating that he plans to visit the site of the Al-Aqsa mosque. However,Washington is not planning such a visit.
Political and religious leaders in the Palestinian Authority have stressed that Obama should not visit the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in a way that might compromise what they called its "Muslim sovereignty."

Comet strikes may have jump-started life on Earth
Comet strikes may have jump-started life on Earth
Life's building blocks can form in the harsh environment of deep space, a new study suggests, bolstering the odds that a comet or meteorite strike may have jump-started biological evolution on Earth.
Linked pairs of amino acids called dipeptides can take shape in space-like conditions, a team of chemists found. Dipeptides brought to Earth aboard a comet or meteorite billions of years ago may have then catalyzed the formation of even more complex molecules necessary for life as we know it, such as proteins and sugars, researchers said.
'The most basic biochemical building blocks that led to life on Earth may well have had an extraterrestrial origin.'
- Richard Mathies, of the University of California, Berkeley
"It is fascinating to consider that the most basic biochemical building blocks that led to life on Earth may well have had an extraterrestrial origin," study co-author Richard Mathies, of the University of California, Berkeley, said in a statement.

'Unclassified and unidentified' life found in Antarctic lake
Russian scientists claim to have found new "unclassified and unidentified" life forms after drilling through almost 4km (2.3 miles) of ice to reach a hidden lake in Antarctica.
Samples retrieved from Lake Vostok contained bacteria with DNA substantially different to anything previously recorded, suggesting they may be new to science.
Vostok, Antarctica's largest subglacial lake, is believed to have been sealed off from the outside world for millions of years, meaning any life within it has evolved in complete isolation.

KHALILI: The West’s dangerous naivete on Iranian nukes
The mullahs do not fear U.S. retaliation
Now that negotiations over Iran’s illicit nuclear program have concluded, the Islamic regime is positive the West will start easing sanctions, not because Iran will halt its nuclear activity, but rather owing to a belief that the West has reached the end of its ability to pressure the regime.
As I’ve written several times over the years, Iran has long thought that the West, particularly America, will do everything it can to avoid a military confrontation, leaving negotiations and sanctions as the West’s only options. It thinks that eventually the West will realize that Iran’s nuclear program cannot be stopped and, therefore, will look for a way out of this dilemma by reducing sanctions and finally accepting a nuclear-armed Iran.
Gen. Rahim Safavi, a former commander of the Revolutionary Guards and currently a special adviser to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said in a recent speech that America regrets its invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and cannot repeat another war.
“Before the U.S. election, [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu visited the White House for a meeting with Obama, and President Obama had taken him to a U.S. Army veterans hospital and told the Zionist prime minister that [the veterans] were the face of the war, and the American people cannot tolerate such a situation anymore,” Gen. Safavi said.
This belief was underscored by last week’s talks in Kazakhstan between Iran and the 5-plus-1 countries — the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany. The 5-plus-1 for the first time accepted that Iran could continue to enrich uranium up to 20 percent, a level needed only for its so-called medical nuclear research reactor.
This is a major shift from the prior 5-plus-1 position of wanting a total halt to the 20 percent level. At that level, uranium could be further enriched to weapons grade within weeks, should the regime decide to do so. It will.
“We are of the opinion that sanctions will no longer be intensified but from now on we will witness the gradual lifting of sanctions,” Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi told Iranian media after the talks. He said the Islamic republic had managed to circumvent all sanctions and reduce the effects of the sanctions, “wearing the enemy away.”
After several years of negotiations, the demands of the 5-plus-1 have changed dramatically from requiring Iran to ship out its enriched uranium, to accepting its right to nuclear energy, to accepting its enrichment to 5 percent for peaceful purposes and finally, to accepting its right to produce at the 20 percent level for medical research.
Meanwhile, the regime has successfully bought time to master the enrichment technology and add thousands of centrifuges to increase output while working on its nuclear bomb program at several secret sites.
A recent analysis in Keyhan, the newspaper mouthpiece of Ayatollah Khamenei, refers to the West’s demands over the past decade as not allowing Iran to have a handful of centrifuges for research, to the current situation in which the West “has knelt” in front of Iran as more than 10,000 centrifuges now enrich uranium.
“During the last decade, the resistance front and Islamic Awakening (Arab Spring) led by the Islamic Republic of Iran have managed to defeat the power of Zionist Christians in four corners of the Middle East and have forced America to beg for negotiations,” the analysis said, adding that the future is bright for Iran and that America is hopeless.
Officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency in their visits to Iran in January and February failed again to get the regime to allow inspections at several secret sites, including the Parchin military site, where it’s thought tests on nuclear bomb components took place. In its Feb. 21 report, the U.N. nuclear watchdog also talked about a lack of cooperation by the regime on its Arak heavy-water plant, which is set to go into full operation in 2014 and could produce plutonium, providing Iran with a second path to building nuclear bombs.
Those who promoted negotiations and reached out to the Islamic regime in hopes of changing its behavior have not only failed, but also have created a dangerous situation that could haunt the world for many years to come.
A nuclear-armed Islamic regime in Iran at the least could become a nuclear proliferation nightmare in which humanity, world peace and global stability could become hostage. The clock is ticking, and it seems the West still fails to understand the ramifications of its failure.

Those who promoted negotiations and reached out to the Islamic regime in hopes of changing its behavior have not only failed, but also have created a dangerous situation that could haunt the world for many years to come.
A nuclear-armed Islamic regime in Iran at the least could become a nuclear proliferation nightmare in which humanity, world peace and global stability could become hostage. The clock is ticking, and it seems the West still fails to understand the ramifications of its failure.

Santa Muerte: Mexican 'Saint Death' Becoming Increasingly Popular In United States
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A follower in New Orleans built a public shrine in her honor. An actor in Albuquerque credits her with helping him land a role on the TV show "Breaking Bad." She turns up routinely along the U.S.-Mexico border at safe houses, and is sighted on dashboards of cars used to smuggle methamphetamine through the southwest desert.
Popular in Mexico, and sometimes linked to the illicit drug trade, the skeleton saint known as La Santa Muerte in recent years has found a robust and diverse following north of the border: immigrant small business owners, artists, gay activists and the poor, among others – many of them non-Latinos and not all involved with organized religion.
Clad in a black nun's robe and holding a scythe in one hand, Santa Muerte appeals to people seeking all manner of otherworldly help: from fending off wrongdoing and carrying out vengeance to stopping lovers from cheating and landing better jobs. And others seek her protection for their drug shipments and to ward off law enforcement.
"Her growth in the United States has been extraordinary," said Andrew Chesnut, author of "Devoted to Death: Santa Muerte, the Skeleton Saint" and the Bishop Walter F. Sullivan Chair in Catholic Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University. "Because you can ask her for anything, she has mass appeal and is now gaining a diverse group of followers throughout the country. She's the ultimate multi-tasker."
Exact numbers of her followers are impossible to determine, but they are clearly growing, Chesnut said.
The saint is especially popular among Mexican-American Catholics, rivaling that of St. Jude and La Virgen de Guadalupe as a favorite for miracle requests, even as the Catholic Church in Mexico denounces Santa Muerte as satanic, experts say.

DNA Detected in Cosmic Cloud
"Finding these molecules in an interstellar gas cloud means that important building blocks for DNA and amino acids can 'seed' newly-formed planets with the chemical precursors for life," said Anthony Remijan, of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).

Mass Arrest and Torture of Christians in Libya
Mass Arrest and Torture of Christians in Libya
March 1, 2013 | Raymond Ibrahim
FrontPage Magazine
Last week’s news of four Christian missionaries in Libya placed under arrest, possibly facing the death penalty for “proselytizing,” is apparently the tip of the iceberg. Yesterday, Arabic media reported that over 100 Christian Copts from Egypt, who have been living and working in Libya, were recently arrested in Ben Ghazi—also on the accusation, or pretext, of being “Christian missionaries.”
Our video apparently made by the Libyan militia interrogators—most of whom look like Islamic Salafis, with long beards and clipped mustaches—appeared on the Internet yesterday. It shows a room full of detained Copts. They sit hunched over on the floor—with all their hair shaven off, looking like dejected, or doomed, concentration camp prisoners.
According to one source, many of these Copts have been tortured. Some have had the famous Coptic cross often tattooed on the wrists of Copts burned off with acid.
Next, the camera-man zooms in on the material which got them in this predicament: atop a table, several Bibles, prayer books, and pictures of Jesus, Mary and other saints appear spread out. The Libyan interrogators complain about how these Christians could dare bring such material into Libya, and that they, their abductors, are sure that the Copts were going to use such Christian materials to proselytize Libya, to sporadic ejaculations
of “Allah Akbar!” from across the room.
