Malachi Smith's List: REVISED ROME

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

  • 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.

  • Speaking for we "peasants", Condi: neither you are the Russians can be trusted.
• 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.

  • Can we say "Vichy", everyone? Can we say "Vichyovitch" everyone?
• 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.

• Olmert: Let Foreigners Help Change Status of Jerusalem
• by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
• (IsraelNN.com) Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has proposed to Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas that the international community participate in helping to determine the status of Jerusalem.

  • "Revised" Roman Empire?
• He will meet with Abbas on Sunday, probably for the last time before Kadima party members go to the polls in less than three weeks to elect his replacement.
• The international community's role would be that of advisors, but would give it large media exposure in attempts to divide the city and make it a shared capital of both Israel and a new Arab country.
• Leaders of the European Union (EU) and other Western countries have suggested that Jews not have exclusive sovereignty over its holy sites in the city.
• Yasser Arafat, Abbas's predecessor, rejected a similar offer by then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak in 2000. His rejection of the proposal stemming from the Oslo Agreements helped spark the Oslo War, also referred to as the "second intifiada,"
• Prime Minister Olmert as recently as two years ago stated that Jerusalem is Israel's "undivided and eternal" capital, and the Shas party has said several times it will leave the coalition and topple the government if the status of Jerusalem is negotiated.
• However, the Prime Minister has successfully maneuvered negotiations around this obstacle while the Knesset remains out of session, and the media generally has avoided restraining him or questioning him or Shas on its previous promises.
• Technically, the agreement could allow Shas to claim that Prime Minister Olmert only is placing into effect a mechanism to discuss the status of Jerusalem in the future and that dividing the city is not being negotiated at the moment.
• Possible international monitors under consideration are Jordan, the Vatican, Egypt and the Quartet, which includes Russia, the United Nations, the United States and the EU.

  • The Vatican? Why?
• Prime Minister Olmert's proposal calls for a final status agreement to be reached within five years. If Abbas agrees, the deal could effectively bind the next government through international pressure.

   The Trinity of Global Empire
• 
• By Matthew D. Jarvie

  December 22, 2008
• There are three cities (city-states) across this planet that share striking similarities and play a crucial role in the global governmental system we have long been living under.
• The three city-states (along with the role they serve) is as follows:
  
  City of London (finance)
  
  Washington DC (military)
  
  Vatican City (religion)
• The aforementioned city-states listed above are sovereign, corporate entities not connected to the nations they appear to be part of.
• In other words, the City of London (that is the square mile within Greater London) is not technically part of Greater London or England, just as Vatican City is not part of Rome or Italy.
• Likewise, Washington DC is not part of the United States that it controls.
• These sovereign, corporate entities have their own laws and their own identities.
• They also have their own flags. Seen below is the flag of Washington DC. Note the three stars, representing the trinity of these three city-states, also known as the Empire of the City.
• (There is also high esoteric significance to the number 3.)
• 
• Washington DC was established as a city-state in 1871 with the passage of the Act of 1871, which officially established the United States as a corporation under the rule of Washington, which itself is subservient to the City of London.
• Corporations are run by presidents, which is why we call the person perceived to hold the highest seat of power in the land "the president."
• The fact is the president is nothing more than a figurehead for the central bankers and transnational corporations (both of which themselves are controlled by High Ecclesiastic Freemasonry) that really control this country and ultimately call the shots.
• Washington DC operates under a system of Roman Law and outside of the limitations established by the US Constitution.
• Therefore, it should not be a surprise that the name Capitol Hill derives from Capitoline Hill, which was the seat of government for the Roman Empire.
• If you look at the wall behind the podium in the House of Representatives, you will notice that on either side of the US flag is the depiction of bundles of sticks tied together with an axe. These are called fasci, hence the root word of fascism.
• This was the symbol of fascism in the Roman Empire, as it was under the Nazis and still is today.
• It is not a coincidence that these symbols are featured on the floor of Congress.
• 
• Any American who thinks they are living in a free country does not have a clue.
• The fact is that the United States corporation is controlled from the City of London, by the Crown, which is not the British Monarchy as many believe,
• but rather the private corporation that is the inner 'City of London' itself, also commonly known as "The City" or "The Square Mile."
• This square mile that makes up the center of Greater London has its own mayor, laws, courts, flag, police force and newspaper. It is the heart of the global financial system.
• 
• Vatican City also has its own mayor (called the Governatorate), laws, flag, postal service, newspaper, radio and television stations, and even its own prison.
• Another thing these three city-states have in common are their own obelisks.
• Obelisks are tall, four-sided shafts of stone which taper at the top in a pyramidal fashion. The obelisk is phallic in its appearance and represents the male penis.
• It is symbolic of the Egyptian sun god, Ra, and is an ancient symbol of male energy and generation (G) in Freemasonry.
• 
• Vatican obelisk: Located in St. Peter's Square, the Vatican obelisk was moved from Egypt to its current location in 1586.
• The circle at the base on the obelisk represents the female vagina and thus male/female duality.
• Also notice the lines extending from the circle, forming a Union Jack as seen on the British flag.
• 
• London obelisk (aka Cleopatra's Needle): Located on the banks of the River Thames, this obelisk was transported to London and erected in 1878 under the reign of Queen Victoria.
• The obelisk originally stood in the Egyptian city of On, or Heliopolis (the City of the Sun).
• The Knights Templars' land extended to this area of the Thames, where the Templars had their own docks.
• Either side of the obelisk is surrounded by a sphinx, also symbolism dating back to the ancient world.
• 
• Washington Obelisk (aka Washington Monument): Standing at 555 feet, the Washington Monument is the tallest obelisk in the world and also the tallest standing structure in Washington DC.
• The monument's cornerstone, a 12-ton slab of marble, was donated by the Grand Lodge of Freemasons.
• Like the Vatican obelisk, the Washington monument too is surrounded by a circle denoting the female.
• The reflecting pool in front of the monument signifies the ancient Masonic/Kabbalistic dictum, as above/so below.
• We must first go back to the Knights Templar and their initial 200-year reign of power.
• So how are these three cities ultimately connected?
• The Knights Templar were first called "the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon."
• This is a blatantly misleading title, considering the immense wealth and power of the Templars, who operated 9,000 manors across Europe and owned all the mills and markets.
• It was the Templars that issued the first paper money for public use in Europe, establishing the fiat banking system we know today.
• In England, the Templars established their headquarters at a London temple, which still exists today and is called Temple Bar.
• This is located in the City of London, between Fleet Street and Victoria Embankment.
• The aforementioned "Crown," to be exact, is the Knights Templar church, also known as the Crown Temple. It is the Crown Temple that controls the legal/court system of the US, Canada and many other countries.
• All bar associations are directly linked to the International Bar Association and the Inns of Court at Crown Temple in the City of London.
• Anytime you hear somebody refer to the Bar Association, they are talking about a British/Masonic system that has nothing to do with a country's sovereignty or the constitutional rights of its people.
• This is why, when you go to court in the US, you see the US flag with a gold fringe, denoting international rule.
• The government of the United States, Canada and Britain are all subsidiaries of the crown, as is the Federal Reserve in the US.
• The ruling Monarch in England is also subordinate to the Crown.
• The global financial and legal system is controlled from the City of London by the Crown. The square mile making up the center of Greater London is the global seat of power, at least at the visible level.
• 
• There are four Inns of Court as follows: Inner Temple, Middle Temple, Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn.
• The Temple Bar consists of what are called Inns of Court.
• It is believed that the Inner Temple controls the legal system of Canada and Britain while the Middle Temple controls the legal system of the United States, though all Inns are themselves controlled by the same few at the top.
• 
• Most Americans (and people in general) believe the US declared independence from Britain when this is simply not the case.
• Of the signatories to the Declaration of Independence, at least five of them were Temple Bar attorneys, all of whom had sworn allegiance to the Crown.
• Alexander Hamilton was one of the Middle Crown agents during the formation of the US and was assigned to set up the American banking system on orders from the Crown, to control the United States.
• In fact a 'State' is a legal entity of the Crown. This is why we also have the STATE of Israel.
• Furthermore, of the members of the Constitutional Convention that signed the completed US Constitution, seven were Middle Inn Templars who had also pledged allegiance to the Crown.
• Therefore, it is no coincidence that today copies of both the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution hang on the wall in the library of of the Middle Temple in London.
• To put it all in context, it is the Crown that controls the global financial system and runs the governments of all Commonwealth countries, and many non-Commonwealth 'Western' nations as well.
• The Crown traces back to the Vatican, which is headed by the Pope, who is the figurehead for the real powers that be behind the curtain, some of which are known but many of which are completely unknown to the general public.

• The World's Next Superpower
• America's stunning decline is awakening a beast.
• October 16, 2009
    Stephen Flurry
    The Trumpet
• Numerous Bible prophecies spotlight a system of successive world-ruling Gentile kingdoms that culminate in the return of Jesus Christ. These successive “beasts,” as they are called, are discussed throughout the Bible, but especially in four prophetic chapters: Daniel 2 and 7, and Revelation 13 and 17.
• Daniel 2 describes four successive world-ruling empires: the Chaldean Empire, followed by Medo-Persia, then Greco-Macedonia, and finally the Roman Empire.
• These four kingdoms were prophesied to continue in succession right up to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
• In Daniel 7, the prophet describes four beasts, again representing four Gentile kingdoms, but with special emphasis on the fourth-the Roman Empire.
• This beast has 10 horns, which “are ten kings that shall arise” out of, or after, the Roman Empire (verse 24).
• Daniel also describes a “little horn” which grew among the 10 horns and uprooted the first three (verse 8).
• The meaning of this prophecy is made plain in the book of Revelation.
• Revelation 13 only discusses one beast-representing the fourth and final kingdom, the Roman Empire. This beast had seven heads and ten horns, one head of which received a deadly wound.
• But its deadly wound was healed just as John prophesied (verse 3).
• The Roman Empire existed from 31 B.C. to A.D. 476, at which point the kingdom was crushed.
• There were to be 10 resurrections to come out of that Roman Empire (just as Daniel said), the first three of which were uprooted by the “little horn”-implying that they were not altogether Roman, but nevertheless ruled within the ancient Roman territory after the empire collapsed. And that's what happened.
• Three barbaric tribes did rule in the region before Justinian restored the Roman Empire in A.D. 554 and effectively “healed” the deadly wound.
• Revelation 17 fills in the remaining details.
• In this chapter, once again John describes a beast with seven heads, but none of these heads is wounded.
• This time a woman, which throughout the Bible symbolizes a church, is riding the beast. She is called a whore in verse 1, and therefore symbolizes a great false church that rides, or heavily influences, this geopolitical beast.
• When Justinian recognized the supremacy of the pope in 554, the Roman Empire was revived. And because of its close association with the Vatican, it eventually assumed the name Holy Roman Empire.
• Comparing the historical record with these prophecies makes the meaning undeniably clear.
• Counting Justinian's empire, there have been six major, historically documented resurrections of the so-called Holy Roman Empire-all of which have been heavily influenced, and in some cases dominated, by the Vatican.
• The seventh prophesied empire is now forming in the heart of Europe.
• An Unstable Mixture
• Those who scoff at the thought of Europe's disparate group of social democracies ever becoming the world's next superpower fail to realize that this is exactly how God said it would happen!
• And we are now in the early stages of economic emergency that will bring these many nations together as the world's next superpower.
• Daniel 2 describes the final resurrection of the Roman Empire as being an unstable mixture of iron and clay.
• The Bible says they will receive their power for “one hour with the beast”-a period that only lasts for about 2½ years. Though short-lived, this awakening beast will display all of the iron-like strength and force of its Roman predecessors.
• The stunning demise of the United States as the world's lone superpower is only hastening along these prophetic realities.
• As Charles Krauthammer explains in his latest essay, Washington's radical swing left has set the United States “on course for decline.”
• In fact, the United States has been on this course for some time now-long before President Obama moved into the White House. But it is true that this radical administration is helping to accelerate America's demise as a world power.
• And as it happens, this abandonment of international primacy abroad perfectly complements the massive expansion of Euro-style domestic programs at home.
• The new liberalism, as Krauthammer calls it, envisions a much weaker, less dominant America that plays on a level field with every other nation.
• “At a time when hundreds of billions of dollars are being lavished on stimulus and other appropriations in an endless array of domestic programs, the defense budget is practically frozen,” he writes.
• The Europeans, on the other hand, “made the choice long ago to devote their resources to a vast welfare state. Their expenditures on defense are minimal, as are their consequent military capacities.”
• They've been able to afford their social democracies, Krauthammer explains, so long as America has been able to police the world.
• But who will stand guard for America if we abandon our military might in favor of massive domestic expenditures, Krauthammer wonders.
• Of equal concern, prophetically speaking, what will Europe-the world's largest economy-do once it realizes that America no longer has its back?
• As soon as that motley mix of iron and clay coalesces together in support of its prophesied emperor, working in cahoots with the church in Rome, a beast will reawaken in the heart of Europe and turn its attention outward, breaking in pieces “all things,” Daniel prophesied
• Prophecy tells!
• This will be the seventh and final resurrection of the “Holy” Roman Empire.
• Immediately after that, Jesus Christ will establish God's government on Earth!

• New EU   President Rompuy announces 2009 as "first year of global   governance"
• Sees   Copenhagen as step towards global management
• Old-Thinker News | Nov.   20, 2009
• By Daniel Taylor
• The new EU President,   Herman Van Rompuy, has proclaimed 2009 as the "first year of global   governance."
• During Rompuy's intervention as President on November 19th,       he stated,
• "2009 is also the   first year of global governance, with the establishment of the G20   in the middle of the financial crisis. The climate conference in   Copenhagen is another step towards the global management of our   planet."
• Rompuy    attended a Bilderberg dinner at   Hertoginnendal, Brussels on November 15th, during which he announced a   plan to implement EU wide taxes that will be paid directly to Brussels.
•   Recently Mario Borghezio (Italy), member of the European Parliament,      spoke openly against the influence   of globalist organizations such as the Bilderberg Group and the   Trilateral Commission.
• "Is it possible that no one has noticed that all   3 (EU Presidential candidates) frequently attend Bilderberg or   Trilateral meetings?," asked Borghezio.
• Rompuy will undoubtedly serve   globalist interests during his reign of the European Union.

• Confirmation: Europe's New President is a Jesuit! Video Interview with David Icke on the EU
• 2009 11 23
• Ed Comment: This is confirmation on what we talked with David Icke about regarding the Symbolism and Roots of the European Union. Catholicism and the Vatican are at the heart of the EU. See our interview with David Icke below for more on this. Read the full article below the video. Please spread this article and video far and wide.
• Apart from his fondness for haikus, and his giggle-inducing name, it's hard to think of anything interesting to say about Herman Van Rompuy, the first president of the European Council.
• In fact, the whole point of the Belgian's election was the avoidance of color and interest: they were looking for a low-profile eurocrat with a record of patiently building relationships, one whose focus was internal rather than external.
• As the Economist points out: "For all his merits, Mr Van Rompuy’s main experience of an international dispute as prime minister is the Belgo-Dutch row over the dredging of the River Scheldt."
• But one interesting thing about Mr Van Rompuy is his Catholicism, about which he makes no bones.
• He was educated (drumroll, s'il vous plaît) by Jesuits in Brussels, went onto the Catholic University of Leuven, and in the 1980s wrote a book about Christendom as a modern idea.
• He is, in short, a bearer of the torch first lit by the Catholic architects of European unity-- De Gasperi, Schuman, Adenauer -- who, like Van Rompuy, were all Christian Democrats for whom faith and Europe went together.
• In 2004, when he was an opposition deputy, Van Rompuy objected to Turkey joining the EU in terms very similar to those used by the then Cardinal Ratzinger (h/t to Tom Heneghan at Reuters, who puts the two quotes side by side):
• namely that Turkey's Islamic character would dilute the Christian character of the EU.
• That kind of talk makes me queasy. But I am impressed by a speech (in French) Van Rompuy gave on Caritas in Veritate which he carries on his website.
• It shows a sophisticated grasp of Catholic social doctrine.
• Dull he may be, but I for one am delighted that at the heart of the European Union is a politician who can write (my trans):
• According to [Catholic] social doctrine, the political community is at the service of the civil society from which it is born.
• Civil society represents the sum total of the goods, cultural or relational, which are relatively independent of politics and the economy.
• The state should make sure that the legal framework allows the social actors (societies, associations, organisations, and so on) to carry out their activities in total freedom; it should be ready to intervene, only if needed and in conformity with the principle of subsidiarity, in order that the interaction between freedom of association and the democratic way leads in the direction of the common good."

• EU Playing With Fire On Jerusalem
• by Stewart Ain
  Staff Writer
• An angry Netanyahu administration warned the European Union this week that it is playing with fire if it goes ahead next week with plans to adopt a resolution calling for east Jerusalem to be the capital of a future independent Palestinian state.
• “The process being led by Sweden harms the European Union’s ability to take part as a significant mediator in the political process between Israel and the Palestinians,” said a statement Tuesday by Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
• The proposed resolution is expected to be approved during a two-day meeting beginning Monday of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.
• The meeting will focus on the Middle East peace process, and this week the Israeli newspaper Haaretz printed a copy of the draft resolution.
• The meeting is one of the EU’s first acts under the Lisbon reform treaty that took effect Tuesday after its ratification by all 27 member states.
• It is intended in part to give the EU a greater role on the world stage and provide for a more consistent and effective foreign policy after years of a presidency that rotated among members.
• “It’s a way to inaugurate a new era in foreign affairs of the EU,” said Alfred Tovias, a professor of international relations at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
• “It will give the EU new international status by making this important declaration of foreign policy.”
• But Tovias said he believes Israel is making a mistake by “reacting hysterically” to the proposed resolution.
• “It is badly advised to make such a fuss because if you pay attention to what the EU is saying, it is that the capital of a Palestinian state should be in east Jerusalem — but they don’t say where that is,” he explained. “And in my opinion they will not say it, because it is up to the parties to say.”
• Tovias pointed out that not even Israelis are in agreement about the boundary between east and west Jerusalem.
• “Some say it is Jerusalem before June 5, 1967, others say it is simply Abu Dis,” he said, referring to a Palestinian village east of the Jerusalem municipal border.
• Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Blidt, whose country took over the presidency of the EU in July, is pushing the resolution.
• Tovias said Blidt is “considered a friend of Israel. ...He could have been one of the two top leaders of Europe, which means the declaration has a lot of weight. Israel is obliged to take this into consideration.”
• But Dore Gold, president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and a former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, said he believes that any EU initiative “to prejudge the outcome of future negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians by determining the status of Jerusalem would undercut the entire peace process ... [and] raise serious doubts about any European role” in the peace process.
• “The position of the State of Israel as enunciated by Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu is that Jerusalem must remain united under Israeli sovereignty,” he pointed out.
• “Israel is not about to turn over the holy sites of Judaism, Christianity or Islam to the uncertainty of Palestinian rule.”
• Gold pointed out that under a treaty signed by then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin and Jordan’s King Hussein, Jordan is to administer the Muslim shrines on the Temple Mount.
• Asked how a Palestinian state in eastern areas of Jerusalem that were always Arab would adversely impact Israel, Gold replied: “The Palestinian goal in any diplomacy over Jerusalem will be the Temple Mount and not some innocuous villages on the outskirts of Jerusalem.”
• “The eastern part of Jerusalem is like a checkerboard with black and white squares and you can’t assign different sovereignty on the basis of ethnic distribution,” he continued.
• “There are Israelis who make the argument that they don’t drive in east Jerusalem, therefore what do they care [about it]. But that’s like saying you don’t drive to 135th Street and Broadway [in Manhattan] — traffic patterns don’t determine sovereignty.”
• The draft EU resolution reportedly expresses concern over the inability to renew peace talks and says the goal of the talks is “an independent, democratic, contiguous and viable state of Palestine, comprising the West Bank and Gaza and with East Jerusalem as its capital. ...
• If there is to be a genuine peace, a way must be found to resolve the status of Jerusalem as the capital of two states.”
• Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman flew to Europe this week for more than 20 meetings with European leaders to explain that Israel has taken steps to prove its interest in resuming peace talks. Among the steps is a 10-month freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank.
• The Israeli Foreign Ministry said Lieberman would tell European leaders that the Palestinians are “not interested in negotiating with Israel, and their stated desire to achieve an agreement with Israel is mere lip service.”
• But Yossi Alpher, an Israeli political analyst and co-editor of the Israeli-Palestinian Web site BitterLemons.org, countered that without east Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state, “there will be no peace process.
• If Israel is not pressured into allowing it, there cannot be a two-state solution” that both sides say they want.
• “It is clear that Netanyahu is not prepared to move on this at all,” he said. “You have Netanyahu defiantly refusing to take any action to stop the building of neighborhoods for Jews in east Jerusalem, geographically cutting off the [future] capital of the Palestinians. ... His position invites this pressure.”
• In peace talks, Alpher said, arrangements can be made so that Jerusalem is not divided “if people live peacefully with one another.”
• Alpher said he does not believe the EU action will bring the two sides back to the bargaining table.
  “The process will only move if there is concerted American pressure on this particular issue,” Alpher said.

• Europe Rides The Beast: Official EU Symbols Tell Us Exactly What The Global Elite Plan To Do To Humanity
• Posted December 6, 2009

• 

   

  The Lisbon Treaty, which came into full effect on December 1st, basically ended the national sovereignty for most European nations.
• Most of the important decisions for the citizens of Europe will now be made by a small group of European elitists - many of them totally unelected.
• But for the global elite, the consolidation of the EU is just one step towards a larger goal.
• You see, the ultimate desire of these elitists is to merge regional alliances such as the EU into a world government.
• In fact, in symbols used on official European coins, posters and artwork, the elite have sent us a message telling us exactly what they are planning to do to all of humanity - if anyone out there is willing to listen.
• The picture at the top of this article is of a statue right outside EU headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.
• It is a statue of the pagan goddess Europa riding a bull.  EU representatives openly acknowledge as much. 
• According to Greek tradition, Europa (from which Europe takes it’s name) was a beautiful Phoenecian woman of high ranking who draws the attention of Zeus - the great Greek sky god.
• Zeus becomes so enamored with Europa that he transforms himself into the most beautiful white bull that anyone has ever seen. Europa spots this beautiful bull and climbs on top of it and suddenly the bull plunges into the sea and rapes her.
•  Zeus then takes Europa away to Crete where he finally reveals his true identity.
• The following is a version of the story of the goddess Europa from the San Diego State University website.....
• One night Europa had a dream. In this dream two continents, which were in the forms of women were arguing over Europa.
• Asia maintained that since Europa had been born in Asia she belonged to it. The other continent, which was nameless, said that her birth was not important, that Zeus would give her to it.
• It was early morning, disturbed by the dream Europa did not go back to sleep. She summoned her companions, who were all daughters of nobility and of her age.
• It was a beautiful day and they went off gathering flowers by the sea. Zeus noticed this charming group, particularly Europa, who was the prettest [sic] of the maidens…
• Zeus appeared to the group as a white bull. A white bull more beautiful then any other…The bull laid down in front of Europa. She slid on to its back. Instantly, the bull charged off, plunging into the sea, and began to swim rapidly from the shore.
• Europa saw that a procession had joined them, Nereids riding dolphins, Triton blowing his horn, even Poseidon. From this she realized that the bull must be a god.
• She pleaded with him to pity her. Zeus spoke to her and explained his love. He took her to Create, where he had been raised.
• He promised that she would bear him many famous sons.
• So what does all of this have to do with today?
• Well, you see, Zeus (the bull) is associated in the Scriptures with the true master of these elitists. 

• In Revelation 2:12-13, we read the following....

   

  "To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword. I know where you live—where Satan has his throne."
• So what was so special about Pergamum?
• That was where the Great Altar of Pergamum (or Pergamon) was. 

• Wikipedia tells us that following about this altar.....

   

  The Great Altar of Pergamon, a massive stone podium about one hundred feet long and thirty-five feet high, was originally built in the 2nd century BC in the Ancient Greek city of Pergamon (modern day Bergama in Turkey) in north-western Anatolia, 25.74 kilometers (16 miles) from the Aegean Sea. The Great Altar of Pergamon has figured in lists of the Wonders of the World.

   

  It has long been assumed that the magnificently-scaled and opulently decorated open-air altar (it is not a temple) was dedicated to Zeus.
• You see, that is why in Revelation chapter 2 Jesus said that Satan's throne was there.  It was this gigantic altar of Zeus that He likely was referring to.
• So by using this ancient legend as a symbol for the EU, the elitists are telling us that the plan of their master (Zeus or Satan or Lucifer) is to seduce Europe (Europa) and ultimately to dominate it.
• We see this same legend promoted on coins, on posters and in artwork all throughout the EU.  Some examples are posted below.....

• A 2 Euro coin was released in Greece that depicts a woman riding a beast.....

   

  

• In 1996, a 5 Euro Coin was released that depicted Europa riding the bull.....

   

  

• To commemorate the second election of the European Parliament in 1984, a stamp was released with this same symbology.....

   

  

• A cover of Der Spiegel featured a picture of a woman riding a beast carrying the EU flag with the headline: "Good Morning Europe".....

   

  

• Here is a German phonecard made by the EU.....

   

  

• Time Magazine published some artwork of a "United Europe" that featured Europa riding the beast.....

   

  

• The photo below is a Europa statue in front of the Winston Churchill Building.....

   

  
• Not only that, but other EU symbols send messages that have a very deep meaning.
• According to tradition, Nimrod was the one who began the building of the Tower of Babel.  He also built the very first empire after Noah's flood and he tried to establish the very first world government.
• With that in mind, check out the EU poster below.  This poster was the official poster promoting the EU Parliament before it was banned because of protests from numerous groups.

• Note how clearly it connects the EU with the Tower of Babel.....

   

  

• By using this symbology, the EU elitists were basically saying that they wanted to complete what Nimrod started - the building of a world government.

   

  This ties in directly with the symbology of the woman riding a beast.
• not only does a woman riding a beast hearken back to the legend of Zeus and Europa, it also has a direct connection to the Bible.  In the book of Revelation we also read about a woman riding a beast.

• In Revelation 17:3 it says this.....

   

  Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.
• By so prominently using the symbol of a woman riding the beast, the global elite are very clearly communicating that they are connected with this coming Beast system.
• That beast in the book of Revelation represents the world government led by the Antichrist.
• They know what the Bible says when they use symbols like this.  It seems like they are almost bragging about it.
• They also know that Antichrist is coming, and they plan to serve him.  They believe that they are actually going to win the end.
• the elitists at the very top of the pyramid are hardcore Luciferians. 
• Satan has deceived himself into believing that he can win this thing in the end and he has deceived his followers into believing the same thing.
• this is what hardcore Luciferians actually believe.
• In fact, one thing that is common among the Luciferian global elite is a compulsion to tell us exactly what they are about to do.
• In this case, they are very open about the fact that not only do they intend to deceive and subjugate Europe, but they intend to do the same to all of humanity.
