Israel Bombs Syria, Neocons Cheer

By Kurt Nimmo

Obviously, the rush to war—or unprovoked mass murder—is not going fast enough for Israel. “Israel believes that North Korea has been supplying Syria and Iran with nuclear materials, a Washington defense official told the New York Times,” Yedioth Internet reports. “The official added that recent Israeli reconnaissance flights over Syria revealed possible nuclear installations that Israeli officials estimate might have been supplied with material from North Korea.”

It appears this ruse is a cover for Israel’s latest provocation—an airstrike against “a Syrian-Iranian missile base in northern Syria that was financed by Iran,” according to a Nazareth-based Israeli Arab newspaper. Imagine Syria and Iran launching strikes against an Israeli missile base stocked by the United States (Israel receives $3 billion a year in military “assistance,” with about $1.8 billion a year in Foreign Military Financing grants from the Department of Defense, according to the Arms Trade Resource Center). Such an attack and violation of national sovereignty would be slapped across the front page of the aforementioned New York Times in 72 point blood red type while neocons would be slavering for retribution, i.e., demanding the mass murder of Syrian and Iranian grandmothers and grade schoolers.

In addition, reports the Canadian Press, “Israel is keeping troops along the Syrian border on high alert” and “there have been no signs that Syria is preparing for war after the alleged incident.” Of course, a military response by Syria would be welcome by the Israeli Jabotinskyites and their neocon collaborators, especially during Rosh Hashana.

Hate Bills Top Democrat Agenda

By Rev. Ted Pike

The Democrats have projected many frightening bills during this session of Congress. At least four have been defeated and several seem to be set aside as a result of public outcry. Yet, the two most dangerous, the federal hate crimes bill S.A. 2067 and ENDA, the Employment Non-discrimination Act of 2007 (H.R. 2015), top the list of Democratic “must pass” legislation.

On Sept. 5, a House of Representatives’ subcommittee held hearings on ENDA. Another subcommittee is diligently preparing it for an imminent vote.

Family Research Council says the bill:

“would radically transform the workplace discrimination law by granting special rights to homosexuals and transsexuals - while ignoring those of employers… Although in its present form churches wouldn’t be forced to hire homosexuals, any of their sponsored organizations, such as schools, nursing homes, adoption agencies, soup kitchens, and summer camps… could no longer refuse to hire homosexuals simply because the behavior violates the group’s core doctrine. Instead, faith-based programs would have to publicly outline which “religious tenets” they consider significant, marking an unprecedented intrusion by the federal government to religious freedom.” ¹

In other words, it would be up to a judge to determine what aspects of the ministry would be protected from homosexuals’ intrusion and which would not. Pray that your church will not be assigned a pro-homosexual judge! Your church might merit no protection from sodomites who demand to be hired, even as clergy!
