American Thinker ~ Michael Geer

The Vatican has called for Israel to end its occupation of “Arab lands,” noting that all of what we define currently as Israel is “Arab land.”

That the Bible must not be used to justify either their ‘occupation’ nor their ‘injustices’ against Palestinians.

“The Holy Scriptures cannot be used to justify the return of Jews to Israel and the displacement of the Palestinians, to justify the occupation by Israel of Palestinian lands,” Monsignor Cyril Salim Bustros, Greek Melkite archbishop of Our Lady of the Annunciation in Boston, Massachusetts, and president of the “Commission for the Message,” said at Saturday’s Vatican press conference.

“We Christians cannot speak of the ‘promised land’ as an exclusive right for a privileged Jewish people. This promise was nullified by Christ. There is no longer a chosen people – all men and women of all countries have become the chosen people.”

You’ve just been witness to a significant event in the End Times unfolding, amigo. The Vatican stating that Israel is “no longer a chosen people”.

The Vatican has just nullified the Bible, and elevated Replacement Theology in full public view.

This is …. stunning.

Most disturbing line in the piece? “He’s currently listed as a faculty member at Alfaisal University in Saudi Arabia.” Maybe we shouldn’t be allowing our ‘evil scientists’ to leave the country?

Scientist found with suspicious item at airport did prison time for plague sample flap

By WILLARD SHEPARD and BRIAN HAMACHER
A world-renowned Texas scientist specializing in infectious diseases who was once charged with smuggling dangerous samples of plague bacteria into the U.S. was questioned by authorities after a suspicious item found in his luggage caused a massive evacuation at Miami International Airport Thursday night.

Dr. Thomas C. Butler, 70, was questioned by agents with the FBI and Miami-Dade police Friday after a suspicious item was found in his checked luggage by a MIA baggage screener Thursday night, sources told NBC Miami.

The suspicious item scare caused police to evacuate four of six airport terminals and the airport’s hotel for nearly seven hours as a bomb squad removed the item for further testing.

The airport was fully reopened around 4 a.m., and initial tests on the item have come back negative.

Shortly before noon Friday, it was learned that Butler was released from questioning and won’t be charged in the incident. Authorities escorted him back to one of the terminals at MIA where he’s expected to board a plane to Puerto Rico, which was his destination Thursday night. Continue reading »

The Real Problem Is Not the Mosque, but the Nukes

All the energy devoted to this issue of the Ground Zero Mosque is distracting us from the far more serious problem of Iran’s nuclear weapons program. If this more fundamental problem is properly addressed, then the NYC mosque issue will become irrelevant. Conversely, if America doesn’t deal with this more fundamental problem, then any legal or political maneuvers to stop the NYC mosque — even if successful — will make little difference in the long run.

Opponents of the mosque argue that allowing its construction near the ruins of the World Trade Center would symbolize America’s weakness and would embolden anti-American, anti-Western Islamists around the world. While true, the reason why America is perceived as weak against the Islamists is because we are. And nothing illustrates this more than our current policy (or lack thereof) toward Iran’s nuclear program. Continue reading »

Obama Is Colluding with a New Fascist Imperialism

Nothing is more like the fascist Axis of the 1930s than Islamist expansionism today. Like the Hitler-Tojo-Mussolini Axis of the 1930s, Islamic fascists are fundamentally imperialistic, with an explicit order from on High to subjugate civilized people or turn them to ashes. Mohammed himself famously threatened the cultured Persian and Byzantine Emperors of his time, and in the following years, his followers knocked those empires over like devouring army ants.

The peace-loving Buddhist monasteries of India were consumed by invading Muslim armies, with the result that there are no Buddhist monasteries left in India today. Not a single one. Only Hinduism survived the Muslim invasions, because Hindus are not pacifists. You can ask any Sikh about that; they are a huge warrior religion that arose as a buffer between Hindu India and its many Muslim invaders, who now hold Pakistan and Afghanistan. In India, the Buddhist monks just died or fled to Tibet. So much for the glorious results of peaceful resistance against Muslim armies. Continue reading »

McChrystal Told the Truth

The military is finally telling the unvarnished truth about President Obama’s dysfunctional national security team.

Oddly, Gen. Stanley McChrystal and his inner circle chose to dish dirt to a reporter for Rolling Stone, a decidedly left-wing publication that portrays the U.S. military negatively and knows as much about counter-insurgency as a 4th grader. The article that brought down the career special-operations soldier throws in the “F-word” several times, not as a quote, but to describe the author’s own views.

Not included in the story is an ongoing dispute between the White House and its generals that shows why McChrystal, the top commander in Afghanistan, had grown so frustrated. Continue reading »

Ten of 17 Afghan military deserters who walked away from a training program on a U.S. Air Force base in Texas remain at large, sources close to the situation told Fox News on Friday, and seven of the men have been accounted for.

The 17 deserters went AWOL from Lackland Air Force Base, where foreign military officers who are training to become pilots are taught English, according to a “Be-on-the-Lookout” (BOLO) bulletin issued on Wednesday.

Sources said that as of November 2009, one of  the deserters was in Canada, one is now a lawful permanent resident in the U.S., one has left the country and another four are in federal custody and in removal proceedings. The other 10 remain unaccounted for. Continue reading »

Boxing Iran: A Case against Containment

The notion that a warmed-over Cold War policy will somehow “contain” Iran is ludicrous.

Clifford D. May
National Review Online, June 17, 2010

Mahmoud AhmadinejadPresident Obama’s policy of “engagement” with Iran can be viewed as an experiment. There was at least a chance that it was only President Bush — that swaggering, unilateralist cowboy — with whom Iran’s theocrats did not want to engage. But a year and half into Obama’s tenure, we should recognize the obvious: Iran is ruled by followers of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. For them, there is what Andy McCarthy, in his distressingly clear-eyed new book, The Grand Jihad, calls “the imperative of Islamic domination.” For them, as a matter of principle, there must no engagement with America. The goal must be to challenge, confront, humiliate and, in time, Inshallah, defeat the Great Satan.

President Bush’s policy of “isolating” Iran — a policy President Obama did not discontinue — has also failed. Iran was never isolated in any serious sense, and today its masters strut across the world stage as never before. My colleague, Claudia Rosett, has documented Iran’s growing power at the United Nations and how both Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, are being welcomed in one foreign capital after another.

Is there a White House-Hamas link?

Israel has eased its Gaza blockade, allowing some food items through for the first time in almost four years. But a recent deadly confrontation in that part of the world has given rise to new information that organizers of the convoy have ties to the Obama administration.

It is believed that John Brennan, a top adviser to President Obama, is the contact person within the White House for communications with the group Free Gaza Movement — a coalition of leftist organizations with ties to terrorists and to a Turkish Islamist group. This group seeks to challenge Israel’s blockade on the terrorist Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, according to a source close to Israel’s Netanyahu administration. Acquaintances of Obama — people like Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn – are also key players in this relationship.

Jordan Sekulow, human rights attorney and director of international operations for the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), argues that Israel was simply protecting its borders. He does not think Israel should expect support from the Obama administration. Continue reading »
