- "All
  these rituals of the market for youths, the slave market excited me enormously
  ... the abundance of very attractive and immediately available young boys
  put me in a state of desire."
  
  French
  Minister of Culture and Communication (2009), Frédéric Mitterrand’s
  bestselling autobiography, The Bad Life (2005)
- On September
  1, 2009 The Art Newspaper announced. “French cultural groups,”
  were elated. [1]
  Why?
- “Frédéric
  Mitterrand—TV showman, film producer, writer, gay activist and nephew
  of the last socialist president” was named France’s new Minister
  for Culture and Communication.
- September
  27 escaped fugitive Roman Polanski was arrested by Swiss police for possible
  extradition to the United States for his 1977 rape of a 13-year-old girl.
  He has been denied bail. The Swiss fear he might, well, flee.
- Mitterrand
  said he was "dumbfounded" by the arrest of his friend, adding,
  he "regrets that a new ordeal is being inflicted on someone who has
  already experienced so many of them."
- On October
  7, Mitterrand himself was identified as a homosexual pedophile (a pederast).
- Minister Mitterrand, had openly boasted of victimizing destitute, young
  boys in Bangkok.
- The Culture Minister says he knew, "the sordid details"
  of the sex trade. While touring Thailand he "got into the habit of
  paying for boys…..the market for youths, the slave market excited
  me enormously ... the abundance of very attractive and immediately available
  young boys put me in a state of desire."
- People
  in power commonly surround themselves with those who share their ideals
  and protect their own secrets.
- French President Nicolas Sarkozy knew of
  Mitterrand’s child sexual abuse habits when he appointed the criminal
  to his "rainbow cabinet."
- The Independent Online reports
  Sarkozy had read The Bad Life and called Mitterrand’s “sex
  tourism book 'courageous.’”
- Polanski
  posed for French magazines with young girls and in his book, Mitterrand
  said he sought “young boys” for sex. Despite their public
  personas as child sex predators Polanski and Mitterrand were lionized
  by the French elite.
- After
  his vocal defense of Polanski, some of the French opposition party demanded
  Mitterrand’s resignation.
- One political opponent quoted from the
  Minister’s autobiography in a TV debate. Even a Socialist party
  spokesman said it was “shocking” that the Culture Minister
  was a child sex tourist.
- Sarkozy
  has not called for the arrest of his “courageous” pederast
  Minister who now says by “young boys” in Asia, he really meant
  men his age.
- Certainly
  Mitterrand is not the only powerful European government leader who brags
  about child molesting.
- Note Daniel Marc Cohn-Bendit, co-president of European
  Greens–European Free Alliance, [2]
  of the European Parliament
  of the European Union. [3]
- In 1975,
  Bendit, a German socialist popular in France, wrote in Le Grand Bazar,
  "On several occasions certain kids would” show sexual interest
  in him, detailing his sexual responses. Later, accused of child abuse
  he said, “what I wrote is unacceptable nowadays.”
- The
  You Tube currently screens an excerpt from a French TV literary
  show on channel “Antenne 2 (now France 2), April 23, 1982. [4]
- Here
  Cohn says he and his Green comrades had “very few orgies, lots of
  drugs, soft drugs, we support those, these little hashish cakes, they're
  fantastic. In fact I ate one tonight! Fantastic!….I work with kids….little
  kids, Gee, the things they do with me [shaking his hand provocatively
  and laughing] ….aged 16 months to 2 years…”
- He then
  details his child sexual molestation of children to his fellow French
  artistes, how we “cuddle….touched….kid’s sexuality….a
  5 year old little girl….its eroticomaniac.”
- His
  stoned French TV revelations caused nary a ripple.
- Naturally, the Greens
  tried to legalize “eroticomaniac” sex with children in the
  1980s. [5]
- Meanwhile,
  British artistes at Tate Modern were just forced to remove a naked photo
  of a 10-year-old Brooke Shields from its pornography “museum”
  exhibit.
- Historically,
  our ancestors fled the “old world” to create a sexually restrained
  and thus incredibly productive “Puritan” new world, bound
  by biblical, Judeo Christian moral imperatives.
- Mitterrand,
  Polansky, Bendit, the Tate Modern and their elitist sheep followers tell
  us, “you’ve come a long way, baby.” Now, the wisest
  move surely would be if We The People went backward instead of forward.

  Give that man a gold star! Sarkozy gets it. Be careful Sarkozy they may start calling you a Racist. How dare you question The Great Messiah Obama. Off With His Head!!! MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same even Sarkozy gets it.
- ObamaTime September 30th, 2009 - 1:37 am
  
  Iran gets the bomb. Obama views Iran as a distraction. Also believes that world needs a new equilibrium without US. Iran, Russia, Syria and Venezuela amazed at how easy things have become. Waiting for Bush to leave was worth the wait.
  
  Remember, all of Obama’s statements have an expiration date. The definition of Voting Present is making speeches, and not decisions.

  IMPORTANT!!
  
  Don’t take your eyes off congress / senate., monitor govtrack.us, and other tracking sites.
  
  It’s obvious that POTUS waited until now to confront Iran, delayed decision on Afghanistan, gave controversial speeches at U.N., the push for imigration AMNESTY, racial speech at the CBC, and many other distractions…. to slide toxic policy in under the radar, or at least with less resistance.
  
  HE IS OVERWHELMING THE SYSTEM!
  
  DON’T BE FOOLED!
  
  WE ARE BEING PLAYED!
  
  ATTEND, OR ORGANIZE RALLIES!
  
  Keep contacting representatives, DO NOT BECOME COMPLACENT!
  
  DON’T BE DISTRACTED, CHANNEL YOUR OUTRAGE TO ACTION!

  Wow! When the French President, calls the Obamunist, naive and an egomaniac (does anyone really doubt that?), I am encouraged that maybe he can be stopped before he destroys the West.

  I can’t help but think Sarkozy is right about our Narcissist in Chief.

  Obama and Militant Michelle have done nothing but bring shame and embarassment to the people of this country. The liberals are out to destroy this country and Obama is doing his best to make that happen. We don’t need violence to stop this we only need to voice it out loud. If Obama wants to be like all these other Third-world countries then we should start by sending him, Militant Michelle and all the rest of the liberal congress and senate into EXILE. Never to set foot on the soil of OUR COUNTRY AGAIN!!! LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!!!!!!
- lamchops September 30th, 2009 - 9:45 am
  
  Sarkozy is spot on in his assessment of Obama as incredibly naive and grossly egotistical. Now who is going to break the news to Charlie Gibson, Brian Williams and Katie Couric, who are just plain stupid.

Gaza Just Another

Illuminati Sacrifice
By SF Fobes

- These horrific accounts out of Gaza bring me into a whole
  new area of sorrow. I had to take some time to write this because what
  I found after digging around was just wrong. Here's an excerpt from the
  article.
- This is why Obama was golfing and vacationing away in
  Hawaii for two full weeks even before offering that halfassed excuse for
  keeping quiet that he did.
- If Obama came out condemning Israel now, many
  other nations would come out also, following the young god's lead.
- But
  with his silence, things can get worse, and Brzezinski's plan, as
  related to a Telegraph newspaper reporter, can go off without a hitch.
- In Mr Brzezinski's view, whoever is the next US leader
  must persuasively propose the following dramatic steps to peace:
- a) Palestinians
  give up the right of return from Jordan
- c) Israel share Jerusalem
- b) demilitarise of the Palestinian
  state
- d) Israel return to its pre-1967 war borders
  with "equitable adjustments".
- If this agenda is pursued, in time "Israel and Palestine
  could be the Singapore of the Middle East and that is in the interests
  of the US", he said.
- This article's main point actually was about Zbigniew
  Brzezinski's criticism of the Israel lobby tentacle AIPAC's large influence
  over the American political system.
- Jimmy Carter came out in Wales recently
  at a press conference about Israel's stockpile of nuclear weapons.
- Wherever
  you see Israel and Zionism, you see Rothschilds, because they have done
  so since the kibbutz work farm days of early Israel.
- As the American patriot
  movement has exposed, the British Windsors still control America as much
  as they ever did 250 years ago.
- There is a war going on between the different
  factions that desire to control this world and I would point to Benazir
  Bhutto's death as a recent example of this.
- I go over the technical details
  of the different factions at play in Red Heat, Real Time, Glimpses of WW3.
  This is nothing less than a literal sacrifice to bring in another piece
  of the puzzle.
- To have a world government, as the Illuminati/New World
  Order gofers are calling for multiple times a week now, Palestine and Israel
  have to be in it as well.
- I still found it a surprise to find a Jerusalem
  Post article about how Arab doctors would be training in Israel as
  part of a Mediterranean Union oriented initiative.
- A leading French geneticist and pediatrician who is an
  adviser to French President Nicolas Sarkozy is promoting a project that
  would bring Arabdoctors and nurses and others from Mediterranean countries
  to Israel for advanced training, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
- Prof. Arnold Munnich, chief of the Necker Hospital Center
  for genetics in Paris and research director of its "genetic handicaps"
  unit, told the Poston Wednesday he had encountered approval and enthusiasm
  for the project, which he hoped would receive funding from the European
  Union and other public and private sources.
- He said it would be one facet of the Union for the
  Mediterranean (previously known as the "Mediterranean Union")
  - a community initiated by Sarkozy in July to bring together EU members
  and several other countries that border the Mediterranean, as well
  as Jordan and Mauritania.
- Among other things, Sarkozy, who proposed the
  union during his 2007 election campaign, regards his plan as a way of promoting
  peace between Israel and Arab states.
- Peace under the rule of one world government. There are
  several other countries that the agenda states are to be included in this
  Mediterranean Union.

Last Trumpet Newsletter - September 2008

There is a weird ambiance, especially in America, and it is so intense that you can almost smell the brimstone in the air. This is caused by the gathering of countless demons for a designated purpose.

- Meanwhile, on July 21st, 2008, the United States, Britain, and France launched a blockade exercise against Iran. This exercise was called Operation Brimstone! (4) It was an operation carried out by a triumviral power, these three nations, with their massive ships occupying the Persian Gulf.
- In the light of all this activity, why does the United States continue to export countless millions of dollars worth of goods to Iran?
  - Good question.. - on 2008-09-10
  Add Sticky Note
- These exports include rifles, rifle parts, aircraft launching gear, and deck arrestors! This was reported by the Associated Press on July 8th, 2008. (5)
- In July 2008, French President Nicolas Sarkozy hosted the formation of a new and secretive organization called the Union for the Mediterranean. The organization is also called Club Med.
- As wars and rumours of wars progress, there are strange happenings in the Grand Palais in Paris, France.
- This union of forty-two nations is being called a “peace organization” for countries located around the Mediterranean Sea but extended to EU members after protests from Germany.
- In a Bloomberg News photo of the event, three men have their hands locked together in a power-of-three, or triumviral salute. (6) These three men are Palestine’s Mahmoud Abbas, Israel’s Ehud Olmert, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
- We must remember that Daniel, chapter seven, tells us of the four beasts that rose up from the Great Sea (Mediterranean) as world empires. They were Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome.
- The third, the Grecian Empire, was launched by Alexander the Great of Macedonia in Northern Greece. We also know that French President Nicolas Sarkozy recently visited Greece and that his grandfather was a Greek Jew born in the same area in Macedonia where Alexander the Great was born.
- Now Sarkozy is unifying the Mediterranean nations.
- We must remember that in the very last days before our Saviour returns, there will arise a new composite beast out of the Mediterranean Sea. We are told of this in Revelation 13:1-2 as follows: “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” Truly, we are living in the days of this prophetic fulfillment!
- Under the direction of three Russian billionaires, Viktor Vekselberg, Mikhail Fridman, and Leonid Blavatnik, Russians have been buying large portions of London, England!
  - Russian purchases of England - on 2008-09-10

- Now another kind of bear has risen up, the Russian Bear!
- There are now 300,000 Russians living in London. The three Russian billionaires, a triumviral power of three, own a consortium called AAR, which owns fifty percent of TNK-BP, the giant oil company also known as BP. (7)
- While all of this is going on, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced on August 4th, 2008, that it is time for Russia to go back to Cuba! Putin said, “We need to reestablish positions on Cuba and in other countries.” (8)
- American Air Force General Norton Schwartz issued a stern response to Russia when he said, “Russia would cross a red line for the United States of America if it were to base nuclear-capable bombers in Cuba.” (9)
- This scenario is all too reminiscent of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, which held the world in a state of horrifying suspense for thirteen days during the month of October in that year. The Russians had placed missiles with nuclear warheads in Cuba, but eventually they backed down. Will they back down again? It is not likely this time!
- On August 7th, 2008, the night before the Olympics began, President Saakashvili of the nation of Georgia ordered an all-out, full scale attack on Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossentia, Russia.
- Without provocation, the Georgians attacked this Russian city with aerial bombardments and ground attacks against civilian targets, such as residential areas, hospitals, and the university.
- Initially, 1,500 civilians were killed in this vicious attack. Artillery and aerial bombardments continued until Tskhinvali, the provincial capital, was without water, food, electricity, and gas. Russia anticipated the attack and retaliated fiercely by attacking Georgia with a large-scale invasion of that country.
- Georgia is an outpost of U.S. and NATO forces and is located on the border of the Russian Federation.
- South Ossetia also contains strategic oil and gas pipeline routes. (10)
- The London Daily Mail is calling this the “pipeline war”, because it is through this region that much of Europe’s oil is piped. (11)
- There is much propaganda regarding this series of events, and the American news media is majoring on the evil of the Russian response and not blaming Georgia for starting this bloody war. There is much circumstantial evidence that President Bush and leaders in Israel encouraged the attack on Russia.
- Will President Bush succeed in getting us into a war with the Russians before he leaves office? God help us during these perilous times!
- Now that the United States and Poland signed a missile shield deal, Russia is threatening a military response against the United States. (12)
- Strange Spirits in Washington!
- The stories about the White House being haunted are true according to Hillary Clinton, who once lived there and would like to live there again.
- Every witch and occultist understands full-well that the United States of America is operating on occult power.
- It has been reported that at night a long-dead usher is still turning off the lights and that ghosts of doormen often appear.
- In a 1996 interview, Hillary Clinton had this to say, “There is something about the White House at night that makes you just feel like you are summoning up the spirits of all the people who have lived there, and worked there, and walked through the halls there. It’s neat. It can be a little creepy.” (13)

- Would Barack Hussein Obama likewise enjoy this atmosphere of hell that pervades the executive mansion?
- I find it interesting that Obama is left-handed, yet he always uses his right hand when doing his infamous Nazi salute.
- Barack Hussein Obama is a man of many titles. He is being called World ‘Citizen’ Obama, the Transnational Man, and a man of change. (14)
- There is nothing wrong with being left-handed; many people are, but perhaps there is something spiritual here.
- In fact, both candidates, Obama and McCain, are left-handed. (15)
- Ancient Romans believed that left-handed people had an evil spirit, and mothers would force left-handed children to use their right hands by tying their left hand behind their backs. From this, we have the saying “I could do that with one hand tied behind my back.”
- The Latin word for left is sinister.
  - Latin word for "left" is "sinister" - on 2008-09-10

- When ancient Romans saw someone that could use both right and left hands equally well, they still would not acknowledge the left hand. They described that person as one who is ambidextrous, which literally means both rights. At any rate, we have two presidential candidates who are doing a sinister work and are sinister-handed!

- Who is Barack Obama, and who does he think he is?
- From the signs and placards that were being held up, it was obvious that a large percentage of the massive audience were homosexuals and lesbians.
- On his recent tour of Europe, he drew a crowd of 200,000 people near the Victory Column in Berlin, Germany.
- Obama held his right arm up at a forty-five degree angle, and thousands began to cheer and reach out to him with their arms extended as if they were praising some sort of god. (16)
- Barack Obama also thinks of himself as the lord of the seas, as was revealed in his victory speech after he became the front runner in the Democratic Party.
  - Strange man... - on 2008-09-10

  - Sounds like the descriptions used of the Antichrist. - on 2008-09-10

- Obama’s wife recently made some amazing comments regarding her husband.
- When I heard that word taskmaster, I remembered Exodus 3:7, which reads as follows: “And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.”
- I also thought of Daniel 8:23-25, which says, “And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.”

- Barack Obama travels the world in his Boeing 757, which is equipped like a flying palace.
- When Obama was in Jordan, he had King Abdullah II personally drive him to the Temple of Hercules in a gleaming Mercedes 600 automobile. Obama wanted to walk among the ruins of the ancient temple, amphitheatre, Odeon, and Nymphaeum. Obama then made a speech among the ancient ruins, dating back from 161 to 180 AD. (20)

- The authorities in Denver are expecting many protesters during the convention, and they have converted a city-owned warehouse into a detention center. This large warehouse contains many chain-link cages to hold those who protest against Obama and company. (21)
- Barack Obama has also launched a program designed to convince anti-abortionists that he is the man for them. Obama officially stated that while he staunchly defends abortion rights, he also said, “I strongly back a woman’s decision to carry a pregnancy to term.” (22) In other words, Obama is saying that if you want to kill your baby, he supports that; and if you want to bring your baby to birth, he doesn’t care!
- Obama has claimed to be a “Christian”, but he is a Moslem, who came from a family of Moslems and has siblings who are Moslems.
  - Obama "is" a Muslim - on 2008-09-10

- Here let it be noted that the Bible tells us in Revelation 20:4 about those who were beheaded for the witness of Jesus. What religion is preoccupied with beheading? Obviously Islam, known as the Moslem religion, is.

- The Obama family is a strange one. Barack’s father was married four times, and there are numerous half-brothers and half-sisters.
- Mark Ndesandjo is the son of Barack’s father and his third wife. Mark lives in Red China, and he has the important job of coordinating all Chinese exports to the United States. (23) In other words, Barack Obama’s brother is the one who arranges for American buyers to fill America with Chinese junk, defective merchandise, and tainted food.
- One more thing that should be remembered about Barack Obama is that he is a dyed-in-the-wool socialist.

- As Christians we believe these are signs from God, but the Illuminists, witches and astrologers believe they are omens; and they act accordingly.

- To this day, astrologers tell leaders of nations and conspiracies when to start wars and political projects. The ancient gods and goddesses are actually demonic spirits that play the game with their superstitious human stooges.
- With that in mind, and with Mars, Venus, and Mercury beginning to form a triangle in the western sky near sunset; it is no wonder that war broke out between Russia and Georgia on the night of August 7th, 2008.

- In addition to the above, occultists and witches have believed from time immemorial that an eclipse indicates that someone of world-importance has died. Strangely enough, during this same time frame, the former Soviet writer and dissident Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn died.
- This is witchcraft of the first magnitude.
- On the date of 08-08-08 at 8:08 P.M., the Olympic Cauldron of Zeus was ignited from the torch that was ignited by rays of the so-called sun-god.
- Here let it be noted that the original Olympic Games in Greece, which took place centuries ago, were done in the nude.
- According to National Geographic Magazine, it was a time of “naked sports and pagan partying.” Prostitution was extremely widespread, and pederasty took place. (25)
- The 2008 Olympics Committee had a new kind of problem, as numerous athletes had to be gender-tested to determine if they were truly men or women. (26) These games are satanic from start to finish!
- Another Sign in the Heavens!
- If we look westward, just as the sun is setting, we can see three bright objects in the sky.
- These will be visible through the first half of September 2008. The objects, as previously mentioned, are Mercury, Venus, and Mars. These objects will form a perfect isosceles triangle on September 1st.
- Then, something very peculiar begins to happen. Mars and Venus begin to move closer and closer to each other.
- Then on September 11th, 2008, exactly seven years to the date after the World Trade Center was attacked, Mars will appear to slam into Venus.
  - Seven year anniversary and to the very date of the attack on the World Trade Towers, the planet Mars in the heavens appears to slam into the planet Venus in the western sky. - on 2008-09-10

- In the occult world, Mars means war, and Venus means erotic love or false peace.
- The two objects do not actually collide, but they appear to as a sign in the heavens.
- As I seek the Lord in watching unto prayer, I sense a great and deep foreboding that seems to come from everywhere.
- Those who have binoculars can watch this event at sunset in the western sky. What great event is the Lord warning us about? Soon we will know!
- Spirits of Metamorphosis!
- Our nation and the world has been slowly changing for a long time and now is changing rapidly, and it is not for the better.
- The word metamorphosis means “change or transformation by a spiritual force”.
- Religion is one of the most noticeable and dynamic areas of change, and as people have gone farther and farther from God, we now find that masses of people are completely void of discernment.

- One example of this was mentioned briefly in the August 2008 Last Trumpet when I exposed Todd Bentley as a demon-possessed fraud. I have been condemned by some people for denouncing Bentley and have received hate mail in his defense.
- I have a sound byte from one of Todd Bentley’s meetings, in which he says the following: “God told me to grab that lady’s crippled legs and bang them up and down on the platform like a baseball bat. I walked up and grabbed her legs and started to go bam, and then I banged her legs up and down on the platform. I asked God, ‘Why is the power not moving?’ And God said, ‘That’s because you haven’t kicked that woman in the face.’”
- This church had a large air conditioning system with ceiling vents. Bentley was told that he could not turn on the air conditioner, because a large number of pigeons had nested in the air conditioner unit, so the system was down until the problem could be corrected. Todd Bentley went over and turned the A/C unit on anyway, and pigeon feathers began to pour out of the ceiling vents and float downward upon the congregation. Bentley tried to tell the congregation that it was a miracle of angel feathers floating down upon them.

- Another account regarding Bentley comes to us from Canada, where Bentley was invited to speak in a large Pentecostal church.
- He was kicked out of the church as a liar and deceiver and told to never come back! Thank God for people who have enough sense to see through this human devil!
- Sadly, multitudes of ministers, especially from Europe, are flocking to Bentley’s meetings. We are that far gone!
- People are so easily deceived in these last days, and our government is well aware of this condition.
- In fact, many people still think we live in a free country.
- Here let it be noted that there are now one million American citizens on the terrorist watch list, which is controlled by the Department of Homeland Security. (27)
- The Department of Homeland Security has now been empowered to seize at will any and all electronic devices from passengers traveling to the United States. (28)
- Sadly, we have become a nation that is far too dependent on electronic devices, and there is now strong evidence that the millions of cell phones operating at any given time are inducing severe and sharp lightening strikes.
  - The multitude of cell phones operating at once in a given area are producing "severe and sharp lightening strikes." - on 2008-09-10

- Thunderbolts are attracted to such things, and the outcome can be deadly! (29)
- This is happening because cell phones are electromagnetic field carriers, which make them strong conductors.
- There are now three billion people in this world using cell phones, and many of them are in use for long periods of time. Intense research has already indicated that the radiation from these phones induce brain-damaging tumors of the auditory nerve. (30)
- Cell phones give off microwave radiation, which stresses the endothelial cells and damages the blood-brain barrier, which stops harmful substances in the blood from entering the brain. (31)
- This last generation is one that is hooked on electronic devices in every avenue of life. Nearly everyone is cooking with microwave ovens, which produce cancer-causing free radicals in their food. Microwave ovens have a magnetron, which is a device that generates waves at about 2.45 gigahertz. The waves of radiation interact with the food, and the energy changes the polarity from positive to negative with each cycle of the wave. This happens millions of times per second, causing the molecules in the food to rotate and cause friction. It is this friction that produces the heat that cooks the food.
- The vitamin and nutritional content of the food is completely deformed as molecules are forcefully torn apart. In the laboratory this is called “structural isomerism.” (32)
- The new iPhone 3G is being advertised in Australia in a very blasphemous way.

- The following words are found in the advertisement: “The mobile device dubbed the Jesus Phone is about to have its second coming. The iPhone 3G, the new incarnation of Apple’s first foray into the mobile handset business, will go on sale in 22 countries.” (33)
- This is clearly a mockery of our Saviour. We should also remember that the symbol for the Apple Computer company is an apple with one bite out of it, representing the fall of mankind into sin. We also know that the first Apple computers to hit the market in the early 1980’s sold for 666 dollars.

- The largest atom-smasher ever built was to be switched on in August 2008. It will be ramped up to full capacity over a period of several months. This atomic collider cost 5.8 billion dollars to construct and is being called the largest scientific experiment in the history of the world.
- On June 29th, 2008, the Associated Press released a story of a bizarre experiment that may now be taking place in Meyrin, Switzerland.
- The massive device is located 330 feet underground and is 17 miles in circumference. The device is being used to search for “dark energy” and additional dimensions.
- It is seven times more powerful than the Fermilab in Chicago, Illinois.
- Some physicists believe that the device could create a black hole that would engulf the earth or change the earth in other ways forever.
- Dr. Walter L. Wagner, a physicist, said that a safety report regarding the device has several major flaws, and he is frantically trying to stop the project. He filed a lawsuit to halt the activation of the device, but his warnings have been rejected by the U.S. Government.
- On June 24th, 2008, the U.S. Justice Department lawyers, representing the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation, filed a motion to dismiss the case. (34)
- The Bible warns us that something will shake the earth out of orbit some day. In Isaiah 13:13 we read as follows: “Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.” That day is rapidly approaching! Where will you spend eternity?
- What kind of reaction will this device bring to the delicate balance that keeps the earth in place?
- In closing, I want to sincerely thank all of you who support this end time prophetic ministry. I pray you will be blessed exceedingly. Remember to send your prayer requests as they will be individually taken to the throne of God by our prayer teams. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Illuminati Conspiracy Archive: Operation Sarkozy: how the CIA placed one of its agents at the presidency of the French Republic

They were hoping for a break with years of no-change and ideologies of the past. What they got instead was a break with the very principles which founded the French nation, and have been shocked by this “hyper-president”, seizing every day a new dossier, attracting towards him the right and the left wing, and tearing apart all points of reference to the point of creating a total confusion.

Later, when the “godfather” was liberated and chose to exile in Italy, they operated through his Corsican “Ambassador”, Étienne Léandri.

- In 1958, worried about a possible victory of the FLN in Algeria which could open the way to Soviet influence in Northern Africa, the United States decided to provoke a military coup d’Etat in France.
- The operation was jointly organized by the Cia’s Direction of Planning – theoretically lead by Frank Wisner, Sr. – and by NATO.
- But Wisner had already become senile by that time and it was his successor, Allan Dulles, who supervised the coup.
  - Good ole Dulles. His and his brother's name pop up and have been popping up for years whenever one reads something on the "conspiracy" for world government. - on 2008-09-07

- Out of Algeria, French generals organized a Public Salvation Committee which pressured the Parisian civilian authorities to vote full powers to General de Gaulle without having had to use force.
- In a first phase, he attempted to deal with the colonial contradiction by granting to the overseas territories a large autonomy within the French Union.
- Yet, Charles de Gaulle was not the pawn the Anglo-Saxons had believed they could manipulate.
- But it was already too late to save the French empire; the colonized people didn’t believe any longer in the promises of the Metropolitan France and demanded their independence. After victorious but fierce repression against those fighting for independence, de Gaulle decided to face reality, and in a rare show of political wisdom, he granted independence to each colony.
- The CIA and NATO supported then all kinds of plots to eliminate him, among which a missed coup and some 40 attempts to murder him.
- This turn about was perceived by most of those who brought him to power as a betrayal.
- However, certain of his followers approved of his political evolution. Around Charles Pasqua, they created the SAC (Civic action services), a militia to protect him.
  - A private militia organized to protect deGaulle. - on 2008-09-07
  Add Sticky Note
- Pasqua was both a Corsican bandit and a former resistant. He married the daughter of a Canadian bootlegger who made fortune during the prohibition and he directed the Ricard company who, after commercialising absinthe, a forbidden alcohol, won respectability by converting to the sales of another alcohol based on liquorice (anisette).
- The company continued however to serve as a cover for all sorts of traffics connected to the New York Italian American family of the Genovese (and) that of Lucky Luciano.
  - Again, the "Mob" and it's connections surface again as having ties with ad being used by Western governments to further their exclusive NWO policies. - on 2008-09-07

- It is therefore not surprising that Pasqua called on Étienne Léandri (Ambassador of Luciano) to recruit the hands that constituted the Gaullist militia. A third man played an important role in the formation of the SAC, the former body guard of de Gaulle, Achille Peretti, also a Corsican.
- Thus protected, de Gaulle designs an audacious national independence policy.
- Even though asserting his belonging to the Atlantic camp, he questions the Anglo-Saxon leadership. He opposes the entry of the United Kingdom into the European common market (1961 and 1967); refuses the deployment of UN helmets into Congo (1961); encourages the Latin American states to become free of US imperialism (speech of Mexico, 1964); kicks NATO out France and withdraws from the Atlantic Alliance’s integrated command (1966); he condemns Israeli expansionism during the Six Day war (1967); supports independence of Quebec (Speech of Montreal 1967), etc.
- Simultaneously, de Gaulle consolidated the power of France by endowing it with a military industrial-complex including a nuclear deterrent and guarantying its energy provisions.
- He conveniently distanced the encumbering Corsicans of his entourage by entrusting them with foreign missions. Thus, Étienne Léandri became a leader of the ELF group (today Total), while Charles Pasqua the trusted man of the Francophone heads of State in Africa.
- Conscious that he could not defy the Anglo-Saxons on all fronts at the same time, De Gaulle allied himself to the Rothschild family, choosing as Prime Minister, Georges Pompidou, who was the fondé de pouvoir of the bank.

- The two men constituted an efficient tandem, the political audacity of the first never losing sight of the economic realism of the second.
- When De Gaulle resigned in 1969, Georges Pompidou succeeded him briefly at the Presidency before being taken out by a cancer. The historical Gaullists did not admit his leadership, however, and worried about his anglophile proclivities.
- They howled treason when Pompidou, supported by the General Secretary of the Élysée, Edouard Balladur, had “perfidious Albion” join the European Common Market.
- The making of Nicolas Sarkozy
- Born in 1955 he is son to a Hungarian catholic nobleman, Pal Sarkösy of Nagy-Bosca, who sought refuge in France after fleeing the Red Army, and to Andree Mallah, a Jewish commoner from Thessalonica.
  - Sarkozy then is Hungarian on his father's side and a Greek Jew on his Mother's. - on 2008-09-07

- That decorum having been put into place, we can now return to our main character, Nicolas Sarkozy.
- After having three children (Guillaume, Nicolas and François), the couple divorced. Pal Sarkösy of Nagy-Bocsa remarried with an aristocrat, Christine de Ganay, with whom he had two children (Pierre Olivier and Caroline).
- Nicolas will not be raised by his own parents alone, but will go back and forth within this recomposed family.
- His mother became the secretary of De Gaulle’s bodyguard, Achille Peretti. The latter, after founding the SAC, pursued a brilliant political career. He was elected Deputy and Mayor of Neuilly sur Seine, the richest residential suburb of the capital, and later President of the National Assembly.
- Unfortunately, in 1972, Achille Peretti comes under grave accusations. In the United States, Time Magazine reveals the existence of a secret criminal organization « the Corsican Union » which controls a large part of the drug trade between Europe and America, the famous « French connection » which Hollywood popularized on the large screen.

- Based on parliamentary auditions and on his own investigations, Time names the name of a mafia boss, Jean Venturi, arrested a few years earlier in Canada, who is none other than Charles Pasqua’s commercial delegate at the liquor society Ricard.
- The names of several families headed by the “Corsican Union” are cited, among which that of the Peretti. Achille denies, but is forced to renounce to the presidency of the National Assembly, and barely escapes a “suicide”…
- In 1977, Pal Sarkösy of Nagy-Bocsa separates from his second wise, Christine de Ganay, who then gets together with the N°2 of the US State Department central administration. She marries him and settles in America with him. The world being very small, as everyone knows, her husband is none other than Frank Wisner, Jr, son of the previous.

- Junior’s responsibilities at the CIA are unknown, but it is clear that he plays an important role.
- Nicolas, who remains close to his mother in law, his half brother and his half sister, begins to turn towards the United States where he “benefits” from training programs of the State Department.
- During that same period, Nicolas Sarkozy adheres to the Gaullist party coming into frequent contact with Charles Pasqua, who was not only a national leader then, but also the head of the party’s Haut de Seine department section.
- Having finished Law School in 1982 and joined the Barr association, Nicolas Sarkozy married the niece of Achille Peretti. His best man was Charles Pasqua.
- As a lawyer, Sarkozy defended the interests of his mentors Corsican friends. He bought a property on the Island of Beauty, in Vico, and went as far as envisaging to make his name more “Corsican” by replacing the “y” by an “i”: Sarkozi.
- The next year, he was elected Mayor of Neuilly sur Seine in replacement of his uncle in law, Achille Peretti, thundered by a heart attack.
- However, it was not long before Nicolas Sarkozy betrayed his wife, and since 1984, he had a secret liaison with Cecilia, the wife of the most famous entertainer of French television at that time, Jacques Martin, whom he had met while celebrating their marriage, a function he exerted being mayor of Neuilly.
- That double life lasted five years, before the lovers decided to quit their respective couples in order to build a new home.
- In 1992, Nicolas was best man in the marriage of Jacques Chirac’s daughter, Claude, with an editorialist of Le Figaro.
- He couldn’t refrain himself from seducing Claude and having a short liaison with her, while officially living with Cecilia.
- The cuckold husband committed suicide by absorbing drugs. The break was brutal and without pardon between the Chirac’s and Nicolas Sarkozy.
- In 1993, the left lost the legislative elections. President François Mitterrand refused to resign and entered into cohabitation with a right wing Prime Minister.
- Jacques Chirac who ambitioned the presidency, and was thinking at that point of constituting, with Edoaurd Balladur, a couple comparable to that of De Gaulle and Pompidou, refused to be Prime minister and left his post to his “30 year long friend”, Edouard Balladur.
- In spite of his sulphurous past, Charles Pasqua became Interior Minister. While keeping high hand over Moroccan marijuana trade, he took advantage of his situation to legalize his other activities taking control of casinos, gambling and horse races in francophone Africa.

- Mayhem breaks out. The conflict will reach a climax in 1995 when Edouard Balladur ran for president, against his former friend, Jacques Chirac, and was beaten. Foremost, following instructions from London and Washington, the Balladur government opened negotiations for membership status to the European Union and NATO to States of Central and Eastern Europe who had freed from Soviet control.
- Havoc reigns then in the Gaullist party where the friends of yesterday are ready to kill themselves today. To be able to finance his electoral campaign, Edouard Balladur attempts to grab the secret slush fund of the Gaullist party, hidden in the double deckered accounting of the books of the oil group ELF.
- The ride through the desert
- Through out his first mandate, Jacques Chirac keeps Nicolas Sarkozy at arms distance. The man was discrete during his ride through the desert. Discretely, however, he continued to weave ties to the financial circles.
  
  In 1996, finally succeeding to bring to conclusion an endless divorce procedure, Nicolas Sarkozy marries Cecilia. Two billionaires were their best men, Martin Bouygues and Bernard Arnaud (the richest man of the country).
- The final act
- Way before the Iraqi crisis, Frank Wisner Jr. and his colleagues at the CIA plan the destruction of the Gaullist current and the coming to power of Nicolas Sarkozy.
- They move in three phases: first, the elimination of the leadership of the Gaullist party and the take over of the party apparatus, then the elimination of his main right wing rival and the securing the nomination to the presidential election for the Gaullist party; finally, the elimination of any serious challenger on the left to make sure that Nicolas would win the presidential election.
- During years, posthumous revelations by a real estate dealer kept the media on their toes.
- Before dying from a terminal disease, for reasons which remain unknown, he decided to video tape his confessions and for reasons which are even more obscure, the “cassette” landed in the hands of a Socialist party leader, Dominique Strauss Kahn, who addressed it indirectly to the media.
- While the confessions of the real estate dealer did not lead to any juridical sanctions, they opened up the Pandora’s Box.
- The main victim of the series of scandals was Prime Minister Alain Juppé. To protect Chirac, he assumed alone all the penal sanctions. The removal of Juppé from the front lodges opened the way for the take by Sarkozy of the leadership of the Gaullist party.
- Sarkozy exploited then his position to force Jacques Chirac to take him into the government once again, in spite of their reciprocal hatred.
- In the end, he became Interior Minister. Mistake !
- This post gave him control over the prefects and the internal intelligence apparatus which he used to gain positions of power over the large administrations.
- He dealt also with Corsican affairs. Prefect Claude Érignac was murdered. Even though nobody claimed it, the murder was immediately interpreted as a challenge by the independentists to the Republic.
- Following a long hunt, the police managed to arrest a fleeing suspect, Yvan Colonna, son of a Socialist deputy. Caring little about the presumption of innocence, Nicolas Sarkozy announced the arrest, accusing the suspect of being the assassin.

- The news is too important, a mere two days away from the referendum the minister has organized in Corsica to modify the status of the island. Be as it may, the electors reject the Sarkozy project, who, according to some, favoured mafia interests.
- While Yvan Colonna was ultimately declared guilty, he always claimed his innocence and no material proof was ever found against him. Strangely, the man preferred to remain totally silent rather than reveal what he actually knew.
- We reveal here that prefect Érignac was not directly killed by the nationalists, but by a paid killer, immediately exfiltrated towards Angola where he was hired to the security of the Elf group.

- It is not the first time the “Lambertists” infiltrate the Socialist party. They introduced there two notorious CIA agents : Lionel Jospin (who became Prime minister) and Jean Christophe Cambadelis, the main advisor to Dominique Strauss Kahn.
- Primaries were organized inside the Socialist party to designate its candidate to the presidential election.
- Two personalities were competing: Laurent Fabius and Ségolène Royal. Only the first was a danger for Sarkozy.
- Dominique Strauss Kahn came into the race with the mission to eliminate Fabius at the last moment. Something he did with the help of the votes of the infiltrated “lambertists”, who voted not for him but for Royal.

- First days at the Élysée
- The evening of the second round of the presidential election, when polling agencies announced his probable victory, Nicolas Sarkozy gave a short speech to the nation from his general campaign quarters. Then, contrary to all custom, he didn’t celebrate with the militants of his party, but went to the Fouquet’s.
- The famous brasserie at the Champs-Élysées, formerly the place of rendez-vous of the “Corsican union” is today the property of Casino magnate, Dominique Desseigne. It was lent to the elected president to receive his friends and main campaign donors. Some hundred guests crowded there, the richest men of France hobnobbing with the casino bosses.
- Transported to Malta by a private Falcon 900, he relaxed on the Paloma, a 65 m yacht of his friend Vincent Bollore, a billionaire trained at the Rothschild bank.
- The elected president then offered himself some days of well merited rest.
- Finally, Nicolas Sarkozy was inaugurated president of the French Republic.
- The first decree he signed was not to enact an amnesty, but to authorize the casinos of his friends Desseigne and Partouche to multiply the money machines.
- He composed his working team and his government. Without surprise, one finds there an ominous casino owner (the minister of Youth and Sports) and the lobbyist of the casinos of his friend Desseigne (who became a spokesman of the “Gaullist party”.)
- Nicolas Sarkozy relies above all on 4 men:
  
  - Claude Guéant, secretary general of the Elysée Palace, the former right hand of Charles Pasqua.
  
  - François Pérol, under-secretary general of the Elysée, an associate manager of the Rothschild bank.
  
  - Jean-David Lévitte, diplomatic advisor. Son of the former director of the Jewish Agency. French ambassador to the UN, he was removed by Chirac who judged him too close to George Bush.

US continues to ratchet up tensions with Russia
By Barry Grey

26 August 2008

- The United States has continued to intensify its confrontation
  with Russia in the wake of Moscow’s withdrawal of troops
  from most of the Georgian territory it held following the five-day
  war provoked by the invasion of the breakaway province of South
  Ossetia by the US-backed government of Georgian President Mikheil
  Saakashvili.
- On Sunday, the US guided missile destroyer USS McFaul docked
  at the Georgian port of Batumi as part of what President Bush
  and the Pentagon have called a “military humanitarian mission”
  to aid the former Soviet republic in the southern Caucasus.
- The McFaul, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, is outfitted
  with an array of weapons, including Tomahawk cruise missiles,
  which can carry either conventional or nuclear warheads, and a
  sophisticated radar system.
- According to US Defense Department
  spokesman Bryan Whitman, the US Coast Guard cutter Dallas has
  also been dispatched to the Georgian coast, while a third vessel,
  the Navy command ship USS Mount Whitney, is being loaded in Italy.
- Russian military officials on Monday denounced the US-led naval
  buildup, and hours later Russia’s flagship cruiser re-entered
  the Black Sea, ostensibly for weapons tests.
- Anatoly Nogovitsyn,
  the deputy chief of the Russian military’s general staff,
  said, “The fact that there are nine Western warships in the
  Black Sea cannot but be cause for concern.
- They include two US
  warships, one each from Spain and Poland, and four from Turkey.”
- Reuters cited unnamed sources in Russian military intelligence
  as saying the NATO ships in the Black Sea are carrying more than
  100 Tomahawk cruise missiles, with more than 50 onboard the USS
  McFaul alone that could hit ground targets.
- On the ground, the Georgian military has concentrated equipment
  and forces along the border with South Ossetia, near Russian troops
  that have set up checkpoints in a five-mile buffer zone around
  the pro-Russian enclave.
- The Georgian parliament voted on Saturday
  to prolong the official “state of war” with Russia until
  September 8.
- Russian military officials this weekend vowed to boost their
  forces in the breakaway provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia
  in direct proportion to American military spending to rebuild
  the Georgian army.
- In addition to its provocative military moves, Washington is
  stepping up its political and diplomatic offensive against Moscow.
- American officials continue to charge Russia with violating the
  terms of the cease-fire agreement brokered two weeks ago by French
  President Nokolas Sarkozy, acting in behalf of the European Union.
- The Bush administration moreover announced that Vice President
  Dick Cheney would visit the Georgian capital of Tbilisi next week
  as part of a tour of former Soviet republics and Warsaw Pact nations
  that are now allied to the US and ruled by virulently nationalistic
  and anti-Russian governments.
- Cheney heads a faction within the
  Bush administration that has long pushed for an even more belligerent
  and aggressive policy toward Russia than that carried out by Secretary
  of State Condoleezza Rice.
- Early in the five-day Georgia-Russia war, while Bush was still
  attending the Olympics in Beijing and issuing relatively muted
  statements on the conflict, Cheney telephoned Saakashvili and
  placed the blame for the fighting squarely on Moscow.
- His office
  issued a statement saying that Russian “aggression ... must
  not go unpunished.” His visit to the -region indicates that
  his faction has gained the upper hand within the administration.
- On Sunday, Sarkozy announced that he was calling an emergency
  EU summit for September 1 to consider the European Union’s
  relations with Russia and the provision of aid to Georgia.
- Sarkozy,
  who said he was calling the meeting at the request of “some
  EU governments,” last week threatened to call such a summit
  and warned of “serious consequences” if Russia failed
  to adhere to the cease-fire terms.
- He, along with German Chancellor
  Angela Merkel and British Foreign Minister David Milibank, are
  echoing US charges that Moscow continues to defy the agreement.
- Russia on Friday withdrew almost all of the forces it had sent
  into Georgia to repel the attack on the South Ossetian capital
  of Tskhinvali, which, Moscow contends, killed over 2,000 civilians
  and leveled 70 percent of the buildings in the city.
- However,
  it is retaining over 500 troops within the borders of South Ossetia
  and Abkhazia and has established military checkpoints in what
  it calls a “security zone” around the two provinces.
- Moscow insists that it is in compliance with the cease-fire,
  which includes a point allowing Russia to take unspecified “additional
  security measures” besides keeping peacekeepers in the disputed
  territories.
- Russia has maintained peacekeeping troops in the
  provinces since they ended effective control by Tbilisi in fighting
  that followed the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. A subsequent
  agreement between Moscow and Tbilisi sanctioned the presence of
  Russian peacekeepers in the breakaway republics.
- In a telephone conversation with Russian President Dimitry
  Medvedev over the weekend, Sarkozy said the agreement allowed
  Russian peacekeepers to “patrol” areas near the borders
  of the two republics, but not to set up checkpoints.
- He also demanded
  that Russia remove military checkpoints near the Georgian port
  of Poti and the air base at Senaki, which are outside the five-mile
  buffer zone around Abkhazia.
- From the moment the cease-fire agreement was announced, Washington
  began accusing Russia of violating its terms.
- Both Georgia and
  the US have refused, in practice, to acknowledge the point allowing
  Russia leeway to station some forces beyond the borders of the
  disputed provinces.
- The Financial Times reported Monday that “US diplomats
  have voiced their frustration at the terms of the subsequent ceasefire
  deal brokered by Nicolas Sarkozy, France’s president, which
  they consider too vague and too favourable to the Kremlin.”
- In a separate article based on an interview it conducted over
  the weekend with Saakashvili, the newspaper reported that “Saakashvili
  put the blame on the ‘vague’ ceasefire agreement.”
- Divisions within the EU over how closely to adhere to the extremely
  provocative line of the US and how far to take the confrontation
  with Russia were reflected in a statement by French Foreign Minister
  Bernard Kouchner, who ruled out EU sanctions against Russia at
  the upcoming summit.
- However, Sarkozy’s announcement of the meeting reiterated
  the US mantra of support for the “independence and territorial
  integrity” of Georgia, a formula for rejecting demands of
  separatists in the two breakaway provinces, broadly supported
  by the local populations in the wake of the Georgian assault on
  South Ossetia, for independence from Georgia.
- The question of independence for South Ossetia and Abkhazia
  is becoming the flashpoint for further conflict.
- On Monday, both
  houses of the Russian parliament—the upper Federation Council
  and the lower State Duma—voted unanimously in favor of a
  non-binding resolution calling on Medvedev to recognize the independence
  of the provinces.
- The Russian parliament and the governments of South Ossetia
  and Abkhazia have cited as precedent American and European recognition
  of Kosovo, which last February, over vehement objections from
  Russia, declared itself independent of Serbia, a traditional ally
  of Moscow.
- Intensifying the conflict, Abkhaz President Sergei Bagapsh
  called on Monday for a military cooperation agreement between
  an independent Abkhazia and Russia.
- Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin in an interview
  with Spiegel Online on Sunday attacked the US for its “deceitful
  role” and pointed out: “American was arming Georgia
  for five years, and Georgia tripled its military budget.”
- Of Washington’s intense lobbying for Georgian admission
  to NATO, he said, “That would be very dangerous ... It is
  a decision by all of NATO, a decision on what relations it wants
  with Russia in the future.”
- The Russian government is incapable of responding to the aggressive
  and provocative policy of the US except by counterposing to Washington’s
  drive for hegemony in the Caucasus and the Eurasian continent
  its own Russian nationalism and militarism.
- Resting as it does on the dominant factions of the new bourgeoisie
  that enriched itself from the plundering of the nationalized economy
  of the former Soviet Union, the Russian regime is incapable of
  making any appeal to the masses of former Soviet republics such
  as Georgia and Ukraine which are being lined up against it.
- On Sunday, Ukraine held a large military parade in Kiev to
  mark the 17th anniversary of independence from the Soviet Union.
- Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko gave a televised address
  in which he declared that only NATO membership and military rearmament
  could protect Ukraine from Russian domination.
- Yushchenko published an op-ed column in Monday’s Washington
  Post in which he reiterated earlier threats to limit Russian
  naval access to the Black Sea port of Sevastopol.
- Russia and Ukraine
  agreed in 1997 to a 20-year renewable lease for the Russian naval
  base in the Crimean port.
- Yushchenko went on to declare his support for the “territorial
  integrity” of Georgia and insist on Ukraine’s admission
  to NATO.
- Indicative of the bipartisan support for the Bush administration’s
  reckless and belligerent policy toward Russia, with its ominous
  implications of a potential military clash between nuclear armed
  powers, is an interview with Saakashvili reported in Monday’s
  New York Times.
- The article notes that the Georgian president
  is convinced of unqualified US support for his drive to reassert
  control over South Ossetia and Abkhazia, saying he “spoke
  by phone with the presumptive Republican nominee for president,
  Senator John McCain, as often as twice a day, and that he was
  in regular contact with Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., who has been
  picked to run for vice president on the Democratic ticket.”

Sarkozy threatens 'consequences' as Russia stalls on Georgia pullout
French president demands Moscow honour ceasefire as Medvedev pledges troops will begin withdrawal tomorrow

  guardian.co.uk,
  
  Sunday August 17 2008
- European leaders warned Russia today to withdraw forces rapidly from Georgia or face unspecified "consequences", as Moscow stalled on its pledges to honour a ceasefire and pull back thousands of troops from the Caucasus republic.
- With the US and European governments due to meet on Tuesday to consider their options for the first time since the crisis erupted, the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, threatened the Kremlin with an ultimatum for the first time, warning that more delays to a pullout "would have serious consequences on relations between Russia and the European Union".
- The French warning echoed similar statements from the Americans in recent days, none of which appear to have rattled the Russians, whose forces remain in firm control of large tracts of Georgia well beyond the two separatist enclaves of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
- "People are going to begin to wonder if Russia can be trusted," Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, said today of the Russian failure to keep its promises.
- The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, added her voice to the pressure on Moscow after holding talks with the Georgian president, Mikheil Saakashvili, in the capital, Tbilisi. She described a Russian retreat as "urgent" and said it should be "very fast, very prompt".
- In Moscow, President Dmitri Medvedev told Sarkozy the Russians would start pulling out tomorrow. But there is a yawning gap between what the Russians and the west understand by withdrawal.
- Today, Russian forces appeared to be entrenching their positions on the ground barely 20 miles from Tbilisi.
- Nato foreign ministers are to hold an emergency meeting in Brussels on Tuesday.
- The Americans could call for a suspension of the Nato-Russia council, a talking shop that dates back more than a decade and symbolises the post-cold war rapprochement that has been shaken by the invasion of Georgia.
- The conflict has reopened old rifts among the western allies that recall the old Europe-new Europe divisions over the Iraq war in 2003.
- France and Germany are keen to maintain smooth relations with Moscow and fear the EU's mediation role will be jeopardised if they take sides.
- The eastern Europeans in Nato and the EU are strongly on the side of Georgia, looking not to Brussels, Paris or Berlin but to Washington for leadership.
- The Polish president, Lech Kaczynski, slammed France and Germany for being too soft on Moscow and complained they were trying to monopolise the EU position.
- France was unapologetic. "We have to invent a new language with regard to Russia. That is what the European Union is trying to do," said Bernard Kouchner, the French foreign minister.
- Sarkozy, the current EU president who negotiated a six-point ceasefire agreement with the Russians and Georgians last week, called for the "withdrawal, without delay, of all the Russian military forces that entered Georgia since August 7" when the fighting started.
- The Russians, with an estimated 10,000 troops and 150 tanks in Georgia, show no intention of withdrawing the entire invasion force and are planning to leave troops in Georgia proper, beyond the two pro-Russian breakaway provinces.
- The Kremlin announced that from tomorrow "Russia will begin the withdrawal of the military contingent which was moved to reinforce Russian peacekeepers after the Georgian aggression against South Ossetia." But it stressed that the invasion force would not retreat to Russia but only to South Ossetia, and that Moscow would keep forces in the "security zone".
- The Russians intend to establish buffer zones in previously Georgian-controlled territory beyond South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
- One of the most contentious points of Sarkozy's ceasefire plan allows Moscow "to take additional security measures" beyond the two enclaves until "an international mechanism" is established.
- Sarkozy said this weekend that meant there could be no Russian presence in Georgian urban centres. But the Russians take the point as carte blanche to mount security patrols outside South Ossetia and to keep forces deployed in Georgia.
- Saakashvili insisted today that he would not be happy until the last Russian soldier had left. "Georgia will never give up a square kilometer of its territory," he said.
- The "international mechanism", entailing perhaps UN-mandated international peacekeepers, will take weeks to establish at a minimum.
- The EU is endeavouring to be the main middleman. But apart from perhaps sending a few dozen unarmed ceasefire monitors in the days ahead, it is unlikely to grapple with the bigger issues of peacekeepers until EU foreign ministers meet in Avignon in France next month.

U.S. Launches Airlift to Aid Georgia
By JOHN D. MCKINNON and NEIL KING JR. in Washington and MARC CHAMPION in Tbilisi, Georgia

- WASHINGTON -- President George W. Bush dispatched Navy ships and Air Force planes to deliver aid to war-torn Georgia, bringing a dose of Cold War-style brinksmanship to the confrontation between the U.S. and Russia.
- The move, which marked a sudden shift in the U.S. response to the crisis, put U.S. and Russian military forces in close proximity amid an ongoing conflict -- a rare event even in the decades when the U.S. faced off against the Soviet Union around the world.
- Despite a Tuesday cease-fire brokered by the French, Russian troops followed by irregular fighters pushed deep into Georgia, seizing the strategic city of Gori and cutting the main highway that crosses the country to the capital, Tbilisi.
- Reuters
  U.S. Air Force servicemen unloaded humanitarian aid from a U.S. military cargo plane at Tbilisi airport Thursday.
- Mr. Bush said he would send Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to meet personally with Georgian officials in Tbilisi and "convey America's unwavering support for Georgia's democratic government."
- Both U.S. and Georgian officials employed Cold War language to bolster their positions, with frequent references to the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.
- The Russians, firing back, said the U.S. would have to choose between its support of Georgia and winning the support of Russia for other international endeavors, such as containing Iran.
- Still, both sides appeared to be calibrating their moves carefully to avoid direct hostilities.
- Mr. Bush's move to provide humanitarian assistance may have been geared in part to assuage critics at home and reassure allies abroad.
- Russian officials said they were abiding by the terms of the cease-fire, which they contend doesn't call for an immediate troop pullout.
- EPA
  Refugees rest on the outskirts of Gori Wednesday before continuing their flight from Russian troops. President Bush said the U.S. will use military aircraft and naval forces to deliver aid to Georgia.
- Fighting broke out last week between Russian and Georgian forces over the breakaway republic of South Ossetia, which is closely tied to Russia.
- The Bush administration has been a vocal backer of Georgia -- a former Soviet state that has pursued democracy, and is a key conduit to the West for Central Asian oil.
- Moscow has feuded with Georgia for years, and has long backed Georgia's two separatist territories.
- Daring Russia
- Russian troops on Wednesday fanned into the countryside near Gori, where local militias drove ethnic Georgians from their villages and burned houses, according to fleeing residents and witnesses from Human Rights Watch, the civil-liberties group.
- Mr. Bush cited reports that Russian armored vehicles are blocking access to the port of Poti, and that "Russia is blowing up Georgian vessels" there.
- The Bush administration has concluded that Russia is not abiding by the peace deal brokered by French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
- Mr. Bush is demanding that both sides pull their forces back to where they were before the hostilities began. "We insist that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia be respected," Mr. Bush said.
- The White House, in essence, is employing mercy missions to Georgia -- with echoes of the 1948 Berlin airlift -- to reassert its security interests in the Caucasus, daring Russia to block the U.S. diplomatic and relief efforts.
- "We expect Russia to honor its commitment to let in all forms of humanitarian assistance," Mr. Bush said.
- The president repeated his warning that Russia's actions are risking its place in international organizations. Other officials say those could include its membership in the Group of Eight, and its prospective membership in the World Trade Organization.
- Already, Russia has set up a de facto blockade outside Poti.
- When five leaders of Eastern European countries tried to fly into the Georgian capital of Tbilisi on Tuesday, Russia refused to allow them to land. Instead, they had to land in neighboring Azerbaijan, and drive to Georgia.
- The U.S. sent a C-17 cargo plane, which arrived unmolested in Tbilisi on Wednesday night, carrying 31 metric tons of gear, ranging from medical equipment to cots, sleeping bags and sheets.
- Another plane is expected to arrive Thursday with additional medical supplies, including 104,000 doses of antibiotics. The State Department is also moving in thousands of blankets, tents and jerrycans.
- Mr. Bush's statements Wednesday contrasted with the tone of remarks by top administration officials on Tuesday, when Russia appeared ready to accept a cease-fire and remove its forces from Georgia. Bush aides said that if Russia withdrew, no clear consequences would flow from the invasion.
- President Bush spent the morning in the White House Situation Room with his top security advisers. He announced he was sending Ms. Rice to Europe, and then on to the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.
- Reports of continuing Russian troop movements prompted the White House to get much tougher.
- Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili later said Mr. Bush told him he was up throughout the night weighing the move.
- Ms. Rice, in a news conference, echoed the tougher tone. "This is not 1968 and the invasion of Czechoslovakia, where Russia can threaten a neighbor, occupy a capital, overthrow a government and get away with it," she said. "Things have changed."
- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the U.S. of ignoring Georgia's aggression in attacking South Ossetia, describing Georgia's leadership as "a special project of the United States."
- He told reporters that Russian forces Wednesday had not targeted Georgian ships in Poti, and that military actions within the country were aimed at eliminating large troves of ammunition and supplies left behind by fleeing Georgian troops.
- The French government said Russian President Dmitry Medvedev had reiterated that Russia was abiding by the six-point cease-fire agreement. Among other things, the pact calls for a lasting end to hostilities, and international discussions on the future of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the two Georgian regions that sparked the conflict.
- Georgian President Saakashvili praised the U.S. move to help, terming it "long overdue" but "very strong."
- Mr. Saakashvili said Mr. Bush's offer was critical to defeating a Russian tactic of shutting down Georgia's airports and ports in order to squeeze its economy and demoralize its population.
- Those tactics, he said, were designed to secure "all of Georgia" for Russia, and to force a change of government.
- Mr. Saakashvili said Mr. Medvedev twice pressed the French president, Mr. Sarkozy, to make the removal of Mr. Saakashvili part of Tuesday's cease-fire deal, but that Mr. Sarkozy had refused.
- A person close to the French president confirmed Mr. Medvedev's negotiating stance.
- The U.S. remains constrained in its options. Ms. Rice sought to damp suggestions that U.S. troops would somehow be securing Georgian territory and infrastructure. "It's not the intention of the U.S. to take control of facilities" in Georgia, she said.
- Likely Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, who has long taken a hawkish position on Russia, said he supports the steps outlined by President Bush. In an opinion piece published in The Wall Street Journal Thursday, Sen. McCain backed an independent peacekeeping force in the separatist regions. (See article on page A13.)
- Humanitarian Response
- Many aspects of the U.S. humanitarian response remain unclear.
- The Navy's chief hospital ship, the USNS Comfort, was in its home port of Baltimore and would take weeks to arrive in the Black Sea. Navy officials said that any Navy excursion to the Georgian Black Sea coast would be restricted by a 1936 convention governing the size and type of naval vessels that can pass through the Bosporus.
- "I strongly doubt that [Russian Prime Minister Vladimir] Putin is going to be deterred by the prospect of a U.S. humanitarian effort," said Frederick Kagan of the conservative American Enterprise Institute.
- Some experts said the U.S. hasn't gone far enough.
- Mr. Kagan suggested the U.S. could resupply the beleaguered Georgian military, call a session of the former Group of Seven leaders, halt negotiations over Russia's accession to the WTO, and accelerate reconsideration of Georgia's NATO application.
- A long-term and more symbolic option would be to threaten a boycott of the 2014 Olympics to be held in the Russian resort of Sochi.
- Any move to rebuild the Georgian army would set the U.S. on a collision course with Russia, which has objected to such U.S. military assistance.
- Russian forces have targeted key Georgian military assets, ranging from Poti to the military base of Senaki, the first base built explicitly to NATO standards.
- Pentagon officials said they were sending in an assessment team to analyze what was needed.
- Ms. Rice's arrival in Paris on Thursday will help fill a U.S. diplomatic void.
- Washington is Georgia's firmest supporter in the West, strongly backing its NATO candidacy and providing its military with advisers and equipment. But the Bush administration has played a backseat role since the fighting erupted, ceding the diplomatic lead to France and others within the European Union.

Russia: 'Forget' Georgian territorial integrity
By CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA

- GORI, Georgia (AP) -- Russia's foreign minister declared Thursday that the world "can forget about" Georgia's territorial integrity,
- and officials said Russia targeted military infrastructure and equipment - including radars and patrol boats at a Black Sea naval base and oil hub.
- Two American military planes delivered cargos of aid - including food and medicine - to Georgia's wounded and refugees.
- Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he sees no need to invoke U.S. military force in the war between Russia and Georgia.
- He warned, however, that U.S.-Russian relations could suffer for "years to come" if Moscow doesn't retreat.
- Russia's president met in the Kremlin with the leaders of Georgia's two separatist provinces - a clear sign that Moscow could absorb the regions.
- And the comments from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov appeared to come as a challenge to the United States, where President Bush has called for Russia to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia."
- "One can forget about any talk about Georgia's territorial integrity because, I believe, it is impossible to persuade South Ossetia and Abkhazia to agree with the logic that they can be forced back into the Georgian state," Lavrov told reporters.
- The White House said it would ignore the comment.
- "Our position on Georgia's territorial integrity is not going to change no matter what anybody says," White House press secretary Dana Perino said Thursday.
- "And so I would consider that to be bluster from the foreign minister of Russia. We will ignore it."
- In Washington, an American official said Russia appeared to be sabotaging airfields and other military infrastructure as its forces pulled back.
- The U.S. official described eyewitnesses accounts for The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The official said the Russian strategy seems like a deliberate attempt to cripple the already battered Georgian military.
- "We are very concerned about these reports; it is a serious situation," said State Department spokesman Robert Wood.
- Georgia's coast guard said Russian troops had burned patrol boats and destroyed radars and other equipment at the port city of Poti, home to Georgia's main naval base and a major hub for oil exports to Europe.
- An AP Television News crew in the oil port city of Poti saw one destroyed Georgian military boat, and two Russian armored vehicles and two Russian transport trucks.
- Soldiers who identified themselves as Russian peacekeepers blocked the crew from going further.
- Russian General Staff Col.-Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn avoided comment on the Russian presence in Poti, saying only that Russian forces were operating within their "area of responsibility."
- In Vienna, Victor Dolidze, Georgia's ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, said Russians were also looting the Georgian military base in Senaki.
- On Poti's outskirts, the APTN crew followed a different convoy of Russian troops as they searched a forest for Georgian military equipment.
- Russian troops also appeared to be settling in elsewhere in Georgia, including in the key city of Gori, where a checkpoint confrontation ended in the confused flight of Georgian forces.
- In the morning, columns of Georgian police and military vehicles prepared to reoccupy Gori, but by afternoon, Russian tanks had blocked the entrance to the town, explosions were bursting on the other side of a hill and panicked Georgian troops were fleeing for safety in pickup trucks.
- In Washington, a Pentagon official said U.S. intelligence had assessed that the number of Russians in Gori was small - about 100 to 200 troops.
- But the Russian presence in Gori, only 60 miles west of Tbilisi, was viewed as a demonstration of the vulnerability of the capital.
- Nogovitsyn said Russian troops went to Gori to establish contact with the local civilian administration and take control over military depots left behind by the Georgian forces.
- "The abandoned weapons needed protection," he said.
- A Russian general in Gori had said Wednesday it would take at least two days to leave the city.
- In France, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice issued another urgent call on Russia to honor the cease-fire with Georgia as she was bringing the formal agreement to Tbilisi to have it signed Friday by the president of Georgia, a democratic former Soviet republic that is now strongly aligned with Washington.
- French President Nicholas Sarkozy said the documents are "intended to consolidate the cease-fire."
- The EU-sponsored accord had envisioned Russian and Georgian forces returning to their original positions.
- In Washington, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. James Cartwright said Russian forces appeared to be forming up in Georgia in preparation for withdrawal.
- U.S. aid arrived in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi on Wednesday and Thursday, but Nogovitsyn said he was not sure that the U.S. planes carried exclusively humanitarian cargo. "It causes our concern," he said.
- Besides the hundreds killed since hostilities broke out, the United Nations estimates 100,000 Georgians have been uprooted; Russia says some 30,000 residents of South Ossetia fled into the neighboring Russian province of North Ossetia.
- Georgia, bordering the Black Sea between Turkey and Russia, was ruled by Moscow for most of the two centuries preceding the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union. Russia has distributed passports to most in South Ossetia and Abkhazia and stationed troops they call peacekeepers there since the early 1990s.
- Georgia wants the Russian peacekeepers out, but Medvedev has insisted they stay.
- In his meeting with leaders of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Medvedev reiterated Moscow's longtime position that the regions should be allowed to choose their own affiliations.
- More homes in deserted ethnic Georgian villages in the breakaway province of South Ossetia were apparently set ablaze Wednesday, sending clouds of smoke over the foothills north of the provincial capital, Tskhinvali.
  
  One Russian colonel, who refused to give his name, blamed the fires on looters.
- Those with ethnic Georgian backgrounds who have stayed behind - like 70-year-old retired teacher Vinera Chebataryeva - seem increasingly unwelcome in South Ossetia.
- As she stood sobbing in her wrecked apartment near the center of Tskhinvali, Chebataryeva said a skirmish between Ossetian soldiers and a Georgian tank had gouged the two gaping shell holes in her wall, bashing in her piano and destroying her furniture.
- Janna Kuzayeva, an ethnic Ossetian neighbor, claimed the Georgian tank fired the shell at Chebataryeva's apartment.
- "We know for sure her brother spied for Georgians," said Kuzayeva. "We let her stay here, and now she's blaming everything on us."
- North of Tskhinvali, a number of former Georgian communities have been abandoned in the last few days. "There isn't a single Georgian left in those villages," said Robert Kochi, a 45-year-old South Ossetian.
- But he had little sympathy for his former Georgian neighbors. "They wanted to physically uproot us all," he said. "What other definition is there for genocide?"

- Russian troops invaded Georgia proper yesterday after building up their military presence in two breakaway regions of the pro-Western state, prompting the Georgian President to accuse Russia of attempting the "cold-blooded, pre-meditated murder" of his country.
- Russian military columns were said to have gone forward from Abkhazia, where
  they have intervened in favour of separatist forces, to capture the towns of
  Zugdidi and Senaki, which are inside Georgia itself.
- The developments
  contradicted statements by the Russian President, and military leadership,
  that Russian forces would confine their war aims to South Ossetia.
- As the conflict escalated, Georgia's President, Mikheil Saakashvili, appealed
  for international intervention to prevent what he claimed was in effect the
  annexation of Georgia by Russia.
- He appeared at the presidential palace in
  the capital, Tbilisi, to tell reporters: "It is so clear what is
  happening. We are in the process of invasion, occupation and annihilation of
  an independent democratic country. We are in the process of the destruction
  of world order as it was established after the end of the Cold War."
- But in defiance of a chorus of international condemnation, Russian forces
  thrust deeper inside the former Soviet republic, seizing strategic positions
  in a signal that Moscow intended to hold its gains in the five-day-old war
  in defiance of international appeals for a ceasefire,
- and was also prepared
  for escalating confrontation with the United States.
- In a statement last night President George Bush said: "I am deeply
  concerned by reports that Russian troops have moved beyond the zone of
  conflict, attacked the Georgian town of Gori, and are threatening the
  Georgian capital Tblisi."
- He cited evidence suggesting that Russian forces may soon begin bombing the
  civilian airport in the capital city.
- "If these reports are accurate, these Russian actions would represent a
  dramatic and brutal escalation of the conflict in Georgia," Mr Bush
  added.
- He said the actions "would be inconsistent with assurances that
  we have received from Russia that its objectives were limited" to
  restoring peace in separatist pro-Russian areas.
- Witnesses confirmed claims
  that the Georgian Interior Ministry in Zugdidi was in Russian hands.
- The
  Russian Defence Ministry, meanwhile, justified the operation in Senaki
  saying it was aimed at preventing Georgian forces from regrouping to carry
  out new attacks on South Ossetia, where Georgian forces launched their
  assault on Thursday night.
- A Russian fleet is already positioned off Poti, a key trading port for
  Georgia, and the deployment put the port within range of Russian guns on the
  landside.
- At the same time, Georgian forces to the west of Abkhazia were
  given an ultimatum by Russian commanders to disarm or face military action.
- The deputy foreign minister of the separatist Abkhaz government told The
  Independent: "All the Russian troops who arrived by ship have crossed
  over to Zugdidi."
- Last night, the Georgian government claimed that Russian forces had also
  captured Gori, a city on the route from South Ossetia, the scene of fierce
  fighting, to Tbilisi.
- Mr Saakashvili had earlier described Gori, 45 miles from Tbilisi, as the
  gateway to the capital as he repeated claims that the aim of the Russian
  military operation was to topple his government.
- Asked whether he feared the
  Kremlin intended to annex permanently the restive region of South Ossetia,
  Mr Saakashvili said: "It's not South Ossetia only, but the whole of
  Georgia."
- As Russia continued to pour armour into Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Mr
  Saakashvili said that the invasion must have been planned in advance. A US
  official levelled a similar accusation against the Russians.
- US deputy
  assistant secretary of state Matt Bryza said after he arrived in Tbilisi to
  join officials attempting to broker a ceasefire: "We heard statements
  saying that the Russian railroad troops that entered Abkhazia a couple of
  months ago were there for a humanitarian mission. Now we know the truth ...
  these forces were there ... to aid a Russian invasion."
- The conflict intensified as Condoleezza Rice, the US Secretary of State, and
  colleagues from the Group of Seven leading industrialised nations held
  emergency talks on their call for a negotiated end to the conflict.
- Mr Saakashvili has accepted the conditions of an EU-designed peace plan
  calling for an immediate ceasefire, medical and humanitarian aid for victims
  of the violence and the controlled withdrawal of forces from both sides.
- President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, who has framed the plan, is due in
  Tbilisi and Moscow today.
- According to diplomats, however, Russia has rejected pulling back its forces
  insisting that would put the minorities in South Ossetia and Abkhazia in
  danger from Georgian retribution.
- Moscow backed this up by sending more
  troops and armour into Abkhazia.
- The West appears unwilling to sacrifice its
  relations with Russia in favour of Georgia.
- Gordon Brown urged Russia to reciprocate Georgia's offer of a ceasefire,
  saying: "There is a clear responsibility on the Russian government to
  bring this conflict quickly to an end."
- David Cameron, the Conservative
  leader, accused Russia of acting like a "dangerous bully".
- A statement last night from the Georgian Embassy in London said: Russian
  actions in Georgia "have nothing to do with the enforcement of peace"
  and are a "pre-planned strategy aimed at conquering Georgia".
