& nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p; ROUNDUPS OF JEWS<o:p></o:p&g t;
& nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p;   ; by Rachel Saperstein<o:p>< /o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Our community phone message system is in operation most of the day. Notices of
prayer meetings, protest gatherings, organized meetings between soldiers and
settlers, births, deaths, controlled explosions, ‘take cover’ because of Arab
bombardment, ‘return to normal’ (or what passes for normal here)… all these and
more are reported to us.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
But most frightening of all was the notification last night that police and
soldiers were scouring the Gush Katif communities to round up Jews who are
labeled illegals – those who entered without permission, or stayed beyond the
time permitted on their permits. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
“The police have no search warrants” the voice on the phone from the Local
Council tells us, “don’t let them into your home.” <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Each day the rules become stricter, the decrees more draconian, the police more
brutal.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Today we were told that personal friends are no longer allowed into Gush Katif.
Only close relatives – a child, a parent, a sibling – will be permitted to
visit. Residents entering or leaving Gush Katif must show identification at four
different checkpoints. Non-compliance, or compliance not speedy enough to suit
the police, is treated brutally. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
My <st1:place><st1: PlaceName>friend</s t1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType>U.</st1:PlaceType>< ;/st1:place>, a 57-year-old grandmother,
refused to show her ID and was dragged from her car by four policemen and
beaten, then arrested and charged with trying to run them down with her car.
Allowed to return home hours later, covered in bruises, she sat and wept. In two
weeks she will be subjected to the sight of her 15-year-old son’s remains being
disinterred from the Katif cemetery. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Mr. K. was in the act of showing his ID when a policeman demanded he turn off
the motor of his vehicle. Mr. K asked to keep it running so the air conditioner
could protect his small children from the intense heat. Mr. K was dragged from
the vehicle and arrested for non-compliance with a police order. His children
were returned to their mother. He is under house arrest at the home of a
relative in <st1:City><st1:p lace>Beersheba</st1 :place></st1:City&g t;. His right to
return home has been nullified.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Teenagers, both residents and visitors, are routinely beaten. The fear of a
beating is used as a deterrent to keep people out of the ghetto called Gush
Katif.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The government’s heavy hand is experienced over and over.
<st1:City><st1:p lace>Sharon</st1:pl ace></st1:City> s private police force, the
Nachshon Brigade of the Israel Police, trained in ‘following orders’ practiced
their skills as headbreakers arresting foreign workers. Cleansed of all feelings
these uniformed thugs will be leading the forces mercilessly expelling us from
our homes.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
In three weeks our health clinic will close down.<o:p></o:p>
In three weeks the sole bank will close down.<o:p></o:p>
In three weeks postal service will end.<o:p></o:p>
The government has sporadically shut down our telephone and internet service.
Our electricity and water will follow. We are already filling empty cola and
juice containers with water for that day.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Sharon’s private army and police are sweeping down on us. We are to be
separated, sterilized and broken at all cost.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
This roundup of Jews is the first step in the eviction of Jews from Jewish Gaza
and northern <st1:City><st1:p lace>Samaria</st1:p lace></st1:City> , to be followed
by the eviction of Jews from all of <st1:place>Judea< ;/st1:place>,
<st1:City><st1:p lace>Samaria</st1:p lace></st1:City> , the <st1:place>Golan

To be followed by even worse…<o:p></o :p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Yet we keep our spirit of humanity alive. We smile at one another. We smile
though vthe shelves in our stores are increasingly bare. We do our laundry,
change the sheets, cut the grass. We listen to Torah lectures. Thus we keep our
humanity and sanity.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Where are you, my fellow Jews? Where are you, my Christian friends? Where are
your protests as democracy is destroyed in our holy land of

DISENGAGEMENT CORRUPTION

DISENGAGEMENT CORRUPTION
David Bedein
Knesset Investigation of Disengagement Corruption Commences This Tuesday, 9:30
AM, at The Knesset:
Investigation Commences of Alleged Corruption on the Highest Level of the
Disengagement Process
The Israel Parliamentary Knesset Oversight Committee, which oversees all
aspects of Israel Government Accountability, chaired by Member of Knesset
Dr Yuri Shtern, has summoned the Israeli official appointed by the Prime
Minister of Israel to implement the Disengagement to explain a potential
conflict of interest that could bring the disengagement process to an
unexpected halt.
The hearing will take place at the Knesset on Tuesday, July 26th, at 9:30
a m.
Summons have also gone out for representatives of Israel's State
ComptrollerThe Office of the Prime Minister, the Israeli Police and the Israel
Ministry of Justice to also appear.
What has been widely reported in the Israeli media is that the head of the
coordination and strategy team in the Prime Minister's Office in charge of
Disengagement, Eival Giladi has also been named as CEO of a massive
business venture for Palestinians in Gaza, known as "The Portland Trust".
Giladi's highly publicized role in the Portland Trust is to raise half a
billion dollars in business loans for business and housing development
programs for Palestinians in Gaza, in order to facilitate the construction
of 150,000 homes that would be replace the housing in 22 Jewish
communities of Katif - the same communities where Giladi is set to oversee
their demolition.
In other words: Giladi stands to profit from ventures that would help
Palestinians who would benefit from the removal of Jews from their homes -
providing Giladi a private financial incentive for him to succeed in his
position.
The logical question to ask would be whether Giladi has signed any kind of
standard civil service agreement with the office of the Prime Minister of
Israel that would constrain Giladi from entering into any potential
conflict of interest in his role public service position.
One month ago, after Israel Resource News Agency in Jerusalem first raised
the possibility of a potential conflict of interest, the spokesman of the
Israel Civil Service Commission told the IMRA news agency in Raanana that
the commission would look into the matter.
Since then, the commission spokesman has not returned any calls in this
regard.
Two weeks ago, the spokesman of the Prime Minister told Makor Rishon, a
weekly newspaper published in Tel Aviv, Israel, that Giladi had indeed
signed an agreement that would obviate any potential conflict of interest.
However, the spokesman was not willing to provide the media with a copy of
the agreement.
Instead, the Prime Minister's spokesman has asked that any requests to
review Giladi's agreement be processed through the new Israel Freedom of
Information Act, a procedure which usually takes several months.well after
the disengagement process has been completed.
Meanwhile, the businessman who is the overall investor in the Portland
Trust is Sir Ronald Cohen, the British billionaire who has recently bought
a controlling interest in Bezek, the Israeli communications conglomerate
which holds a monopoly over telephone land lines in Israel.
Sir Ronald Cohen is not only well connected in Israel.
Cohen is also a well known advisor and supporter of Gordon Brown, the
British Chancellor of the Exchequer, the ministry of finance.
The Cohen appointment of Giladi presents yet another potential of conflict
of interest, since the Portland Trust's corporate portfolio openly states
that one of the purposes of the trust is to advance the interests of both
the British government and the European Union.
With the U.K. assuming the chairmanship of the EU for the next six months,
this carries even greater importance.
The Knesset investigation will also have to determine is whether Giladi,
an appointee of the office of the Prime Minister of Israel to implement
the disengagement process, is at the one and the same time also advancing
the diplomatic interests of foreign powers in that same disengagement
process.
The Knesset Committee investigation of Giladi may lead to questions about
another key Israeli official's potential conflict of interests - The Prime
Minister's most important advisor, Dov Weisglass.
Weisglass did sign a standard anti-conflict of interest agreement with the
legal advisor of the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel, which
committed Weisglass to not engage in any Palestinian business connections,
so long as he held public office, which our news agency has reviewed.
There is no stipulation that Weisglass cannot resume Palestinian business
connections when he leaves public service.
Since Weisglass's law firm holds a contract for representing casino
development under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority, the
recommendation of the Portland Trust for further casino development inside
the Palestinian Authority would be of particular interest to Weisglass,
should be decide to leave his public position.
In sum, all mainstream Israeli media outlets have publicized Giladi's
parallel appointments to the run the disengagement process for the Prime
Minister office and to run a corporation for Palestinian development when
he will see personal financial stake in this process.
No media in Israel have called into question what seems to be a clear
conflict of interest.
Until now.
All this, with the implementation of the Disengagement scheduled to
commence less than three weeks after the Knesset investigation of
corruption on the highest levels of the Disengagement Process will begin.

what are these Hurricanes for?
Van: Aukina4Israel1
Bericht 1 in discussie
WHAT ARE THESE HURRICANES?" I asked the Lord. HE SAID, "ITS ABOUT SLAVERY!" by
David Dreiling Email: daviddreiling@comcast.net
Last Sunday, July 10th, on the day Hurricane Dennis made landfall I asked the
L-rd, "What's with all these hurricanes?" To my amazement He instantly responded
to my question. He said, "It's all about Slavery". "What?" I inquired?
The L-rd simply explained to me that the hurricanes in question all form off the
west coast of Africa and wreak havoc only upon those territories that were
originally built through the institution of slavery. It became clear to me that
all the Caribbean islands and the states of the Deep South -- Florida, Georgia,
and the Carolina's were all built on the backs and blood of West African slaves.
I had never looked at things that way before.
Repentance for Devastation
I asked the L-rd what He wanted me to do with the information, and he told me to
send out a trumpet call for the Church to repent for the devastation and
brokenness wrought on African nations through slavery; and to call for our
born-again national leaders to consider seriously our debt to the lives and
manpower of African Nations and their forced contribution to our prosperity.
I prayed further about these things and asked the L-rd, "Why now?"
This is the same time frame that the G8 leaders were discussing the issue of
African poverty in Scotland.
I realize that there has been much interracial repentance and reconciliation.
Notwithstanding G-d was highlighting a completely different issue here. It is
repentance from our nation to the nations and peoples currently in poverty and
distress in Africa. It is owning up to our wrongdoing -- not just to Black
people in America but to those who were left behind in Africa with shattered
families and devastated communities.
It's NOT About Money
Make no mistake; this is not about money or the need of G-d Almighty to "extort"
finances out of Western nations for Africa by hurricanes. Rather it is a
spiritual dynamic that G-d is after and His plans and purposes for the
revelation of His mercy in Africa still remain largely hidden, although it is
clear that revival appears to be sweeping the continent.
Accordingly, I call out to the Church to take the lead and rise up in prayer to
stand united in repentance before G-d, by declaring our sins in receiving and
prospering off the lives and slaughter of the almost 50,000,000 slaves
transported to the New World from Africa.
As a Jewish man, I repent of my Jewish brethren's role in not standing up in
opposition to slavery but rather owning slaves and prospering from the horrible
wasting of their lives.
I pray that this word would find its way into the hands and hearts of those to
whom G-d has raised up in government and given authority to repent on behalf of
our nation. I pray that those with G-d-given authority throughout the Caribbean
nations would be so moved.
I believe that it is in G-d's heart that reparations be made at this time.
Africa is on G-d's heart.
In a time of judgment as evidenced by weather patterns, G-d is sending a word of
wisdom for repentance. The final thing G-d spoke to me that Sunday, was a
promise that if our leaders will accept this place of repentance, He will stop
the devastation wrought by the string of recent hurricanes.
Repentance is easy. It s amazing that with this simple heart attitude, by the
stunning power of Yeshua's blood, so great an evil can be forgiven, and its
effects on future generations broken.
G-d is good!
In Yeshua's service,

ANYONE AWAKE OUT THERE?
As we reel from the news of yesterdays bombings in London, England, it
is incumbent upon all of us to examine, seriously, why such attacks by
Islamic Extremists are occurring. We cannot combat what we do not
understand, let alone try to wage an
effective war against such an insidious enemy.
First of all, it must be pointed out that this terrorist war against
the West is not simply the random acts of extremist thugs. Rather, we are
dealing with a well-orchestrated jihad that has clearly defined
purpose. The goal of the terrorists is
toward Islamic world domination through the annihilation of Israel, and
eventually to dismantle all forms of governance who they perceive to be
democratic or Christian. The strategy to reach this goal is not a
recent phenomenon, but has been on-going for many years; and insidiousness
in the form of gorilla attacks is one of their most effective tactics.
ie. The terrorist attacks have been on-going in the Middle East since
before Israel became a nation in 1948, and continue daily right up to the
present by avowed Islamic organizations who desire to annihilate Israel
from
the world map. If we have any hope to eliminate the terrorist threat,
we must start with the terrorism being perpetrated against Israel,
because the terrorist groups active in the Middle East are interconnected
with what is transpiring world-wide.
"First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people" is not simply an
extremist slogan, but is a strategy of war having two pincher-prongs, and
we just witnessed one prong of this strategy in action yesterday in
London.
Meanwhile, the other prong is being clamped on the world in the Middle
and Far East, and Africa. But has anyone honestly been paying attention
to the threats in the Middle East, and particularly in Israel, as
recently as this week? Has anyone been
following the on-going diatribes by Islamic Imams in Iran, Syria, in
Israel, and even in London? Has anyone taken note of the content of the
Palestinian TV programs directed toward Arab youth, or the programs of
the Palestinian summer camps set up
in honor of shahids? Has anyone taken note that at the same time,
Christians are under constant Islamic threat, attack, and persecution in
Indonesia, Pakistan, Iran, Darfur, Nigeria, and many other nations with a
strong, large Islamic population,
while their leaders appear to decry such? These all appear to be
disconnected events, but are they?
To understand, we need only read recent comments by the leaders of
Hamas, Hizbullah, and Islamic Jihad, regarding their goals.
Unfortunately, this information is not available through our
main-stream media in the West. Although it is easily found, our media dutifully
chooses to ignore the sources, to the peril of all of us. It is time the
politicians in the West, and the
general public, became informed. We need to set aside our "separation
of religion and state" attitude in dealing with world problems, because
the Islamic Jihad forces do not operate in such a mode! They have no
qualms about harbouring animosity against those of other faiths. They are
NOT in favour of multiculturalism and peaceful co-existence! The sooner
we recognize this, the better, because our lofty democratic attitudes,
although great on paper, fall apart when dealing with ideologies that
do not embrace our politically-correct ideals. Our media is
influenced by our own idealism. And our understanding of our avowed
enemies is severely hampered by the public lack of information. Our
westernized view of the world from our insulated democratic towers can no
longer provide security, but is
actually tying our hands, and endangering our citizens.
We are not dealing with a passing tempest in a teapot, nor with madmen.
The forces behind the jihad are intelligent, and the planning and
execution of their attacks is brilliant. Their motivation is unadulterated
religious-political fervour. The sooner we understand this, the better!
Why is Palestinian leader Abbas accused of being weak by his rivals,
yet is being courted by the West? Is he, in fact, weak? Or, is there a
strategy of deception going on? Abbas has no intention of totally
disarming the terrorists, even though he
states he is working on it, and has taken weapons from small pockets of
his Arab population in a half-hearted show of compliance. Besides, do
we really think he has the power to now ensure weapons stay out of the
hands of the few he has already
supposedly disarmed? And, if he is able to disarm the few, why has he
not taken steps to disarm them all? Why is he dragging his feet? The
truth is, Abbas cannot, and will not, go against an ideology far more vast
than the his own local jurisdiction.
Abbas has not fulfilled even one demand, yet he insisted, oddly with
the backing of the Bush Administration, that Israel follow through on
releasing 900 Palestinian prisoners, most of whom were incarcerated
because of terrorist activity against Israel. Then Abbas offered positions
within the Palestinian security forces to most of those released. Oh, and
these have been provided with small arms by Israel, to strengthen the
Palestinians! Have the western nations recognized the fallacy and
danger? Frightening!! These are avowed murderers, or would-be shahids, many
of whom
already have blood on their hands, or were intercepted on a mission to
blow-up Israelis along with themselves, or were harbouring weapons for
the same purpose. How comforting to know they are now security
personnel!
Hamas has indicated, only two days ago, they will not disarm, but as
soon as the Disengagement from Gaza by the Israelis takes place, will
step-up their attacks in order to secure Jerusalem and the West Bank for
the Palestinians. Abbas also has upped the demand of more land, by
insisting another community close to Ashkelon, which was not scheduled for
withdrawal, be placed under Palestinian jurisdiction. Where, and when
will it stop?
The hand-writing is on the wall. Those in the anti-disengagement camp
are not simply trying to put a halt to the withdrawal by standing up for
a few thousand Israelis who will be uprooted from their homes and
lives. They recognize the fact that the situation is much more complex than
that! The voices being raised against Israeli disengagement are, like
Daniel, interpreting the handwriting! But, is anyone willing to
recognize the warnings? If we do not heed, like the Babylonian
Empire, whose corrupt, hedonistic King failed to take the
interpretation seriously, the Western world will fall into the hands of the enemy,
even while we carry on with our own indulgent party.
Retreat in the wake of terrorism is not wise! President Bush stated so,
and now Prime Minister Tony Blair, and all those attending the G-8
Summit stand in agreement. So, why is Israel being coerced into retreat
from Gaza, which according to the
invitation of Abbas, is to become a headquarters for terrorist
organizations once the withdrawal is complete?
If we desire to win the war against terror, we had better be
consistent!
Abbas is meeting with the leaders of several terrorist organizations
this week in Syria, to discuss strategy. His role is to hoodwink the West
into believing he is desiring peace. He is for peace, for sure, but
under his well-defined ideologic
definition, not our's! The Palestinian State is only one step in the
strategy, and his role is to make sure it comes into being, while
weakening Israel and deceiving the West.
It is high time we woke-up and smelled the coffee! If we don't, more
9/11's, and Madrid and London-type attacks, are inevitable!

THREE DEAD IN NETANYA SUICIDE BLAST | ||
| In Brief | ||
Bomb Injures Two Troops in Gaza Hamas: "Israel Will Eventually Disappear" | ||
| Latest News | ||
THREE DEAD IN NETANYA SUICIDE BLAST Officials said that at least six of those wounded in the Netanya blast are in serious condition including one child, reported to be in intensive care. Police quickly opened a special foreign language hotline for concerned relatives apparently confirming eyewitness accounts that a group of young French tourists were among those closest to bomber when he detonated his 10kg device in a busy crosswalk at 6.35 pm. The bomber, identified by the Palestinians as 18-year old Ahmed Abu Khalil from the Tulkarm area, is thought to have aroused the suspicions of a nearby security guard shortly before the blast which took place some 20 meters away from the mall entrance. Meanwhile police in the hard-hit coastal town closed off all entrances to and exits from the city in a bid to capture an Arab man seen driving the bomber to the scene. Only 9 miles from the Palestinian territories, Netanya is situated at Israel’s narrowest point and has been a frequent target for suicide bombers in the past. In May 2001 five Israelis were killed in a similar suicide attack at the very same mall. But with the completion of the security fence in the area, the frequency has dropped sharply in the past year. The Palestinian Authority moved swiftly to condemn the attack as an action "against the Palestinian nation, its interest and an attack on its security." But Israel directed the blame back on the PA itself. "Israel has done all it could to ease up Palestinian needs but the PA has not fulfilled obligations undertaken at Sharm e-Sheikh and shows no signs of doing so," David Baker, an official in the Prime Minister's Office, said on Tuesday night, re-iterating Israel’s longstanding position that the PA is failing to honor its own commitments to tackle and root out terror. Sources in Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's office said that Israel would react to the attack with a "heavy hand," and would expand existing military operations against the Islamic Jihad infrastructure in northern Samaria.
Senior IDF officers blasted Abbas, according to Ha’aretz, claiming that he was letting the Jihad "spit in his face" and that his failure to act against the organization was "foolish and dangerous." "He cannot blink now. The world let Abbas evade the necessary steps after the Stage Club suicide bombing. He must not repeat that error. There is no point in working with him until he starts acting against the Jihad," one source said. The bombing at the Tel Aviv club last February was the last suicide bombing to be carried out inside Israel. Five people were killed in the attack. |

Recently there was a report in our news
here in Canada about the number of spies living among us from a particular
country. News like this is unsettling, especially given the rise of the threat
of terrorism. Those of us who are surprised by such revelations have been slow
to accept the ongoing conflict that exists in our world. I don't know what it is
like where you live, but it seems to me that Canadians tend to have a very naive
view of the world. The reality is that everywhere everyday the forces of good
and evil are battling it out. Sometimes the nature of the battle is obvious as
it was last week in London. At other times, it's not that obvious. Yet the
battle wages on. So much of the battle is actually a spiritual and moral one as
those with questionable motives seek to drag the hearts and minds of people
deeper and deeper into depravity and destruction. The most dangerous evil is
the covert evil. It's the evil we can't see. That is one of the most frightening
things about modern terrorism. We know the terrorists are among us, but we don't
know who they are, or when they will strike, or how. Obviously the terrorists
utilize secrecy because it is effective. Its effectiveness is not limited to the
end result of their activities, but it has an ongoing unsettling effect upon our
societies. At the same time there is another covert operation that is at work
among us that you even now may not be aware of. This covert operation does not
have an evil motive far from it! For it is God's covert operation. There are
people living among us, who are part of a world-wide strategy to affect and
influence the world for good. They live in all types of neighborhoods. They work
in almost every type of business. They go to our schools. They are in our
prisons. You see them in the hospital and on the bus. Some of them may even live
in your house. But you don't know they are there. The forces of evil know they
are there and who they are. The forces of evil understand the battle we are in.
And they do anything and everything in their power to neutralize our influence,
to discredit us, to distract us, to keep us hidden. If we only understood
God's strategy. Like scattered seed in a garden, he has scattered his people
throughout the world. He has done this knowing that we are needed everywhere,
and that we have a purpose in the cosmic battle that is waging all around us.
Perhaps now is the time to take action. Now is the time to come out of hiding.
What a difference we could make if only we would take this battle seriously.

American Base in Israel.
7-10-05<o:p></o: p>
<o:p></o:p>
Many have written asking me about the Barry Chamish Report of the American Base
here in Israel. Barry and I went there today and I can tell you that it is
there. In fact, it isn’t even being hidden, but how would they hide such a
thing anyway. What they are doing is saying it is a storage facility and the US
is building it for Israel. But let me tell you that makes absolutely no since.
I don’t know how many buildings are already constructed or what they are for but
we can make some good guesses. Look at these for example.
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Start by looking from the left side, you will notice that there are 4 rows of
buildings, the first row are buildings with only small doors, there are no large
doors we can see for trucks so I don’t believe they are warehouses, those doors
are for people to walk through. You will noticed the next two rows are the same
and then the forth row are buildings for offices or storage they have larger
doors.
<o:p></o:p>
Now look at another section of buildings being built,
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
These buildings are warehouses, the reasons I am showing you both is so you can
see that this American base being built in Israel is going to be used for both
housing and mass storage of military hardware.
<o:p></o:p>
Below is another shot at some more buildings, many look like they are for people
and others for storage.
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I want to show you a shot that Barry showed everyone the other day because I
want to point out something else in that picture, not just the US flag but there
is a date mentioned as well.
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
You will notice a sign to the left
<o:p></o:p>
It says this base will be completed on August 31st 2005. meaning to me that
they are in a really big hurry. And we saw heavy equipment working over a very
large area. And by the way we guessed this base will cover at least 25 square
miles, I think possibly a lot more. It is also prime real estate about ten
minutes from the International airport. And right along side the new interstate
highway 6 Israel’s new tow road running from Ashdod to Haifa. As most of you
may know Israel just built a new International Airport Terminal. Leaving a very
large and very good Airport in tack. The tried to tell the public it would be
used for domestic use, which makes no since at all, for the few flights from
Tel-Aviv to Eilat and to Haifa. But it would make a really great military base
for really large military planes and it is only a few minutes away from this new
base.
<o:p></o:p>
We could guess for ever what all these buildings could be used for, but I think
it is obvious, some are barracks and others are warehouses, but let’s move on to
some other things to see.
<o:p></o:p>
Below is a round Helicopter Pad with two underground bunkers near by.
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
These underground bunkers are complete with blast protection built near by.
VIP’s (or top brass) will be able to come in by choppers and quickly be put
underground. But they tell us this is just a storage facility.
<o:p></o:p>
You will notice what looks like a water tower in the background, well I don’t
think so, to begin with there is plenty of water supply as the city of Petah
Tikvah is within sight of this base so they have plenty of water, and there is
no water lines leading to or from this large tank, Lets take a closer look at it
as well.
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
With the high voltage-wiring going into this unit it is obviously a high power
communications and radar system. Please keep in mind none of this is Israeli,
it is all being built by the US Government and the labors other than Americans
are Arabic.
<o:p></o:p>
This next picture when first looked at makes you think it is just a water way
but look closer and you will discover it is the entrance to underground tunnels.
If we can discover so many of these tunnels in just a few minutes just imagine
how many there are in this whole base.
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
We traveled around the back side of the base and it was a long hot ride on some
very rough roads to get these pictures. The back of the base runs right along
with the original “Green line” being built by the US Government you wouldn’t
expect anything less.
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The fence or wall will be build on this foundation.
<o:p></o:p>
I took over 40 pictures but have tried to pick out the ones that show you what
is happening. Now I will tell you what I think this is all about, for what that
is worth.
<o:p></o:p>
Somewhere in the near future the US will have to go after Syria, and when they
do Iran may react with nukes and Egypt could and most likely will join in the
attempt to destroy Israel, again. The US is in a hurry to build this base in
order to fill it with their military supplies and to have a base of operations
to settle this Islamic problem once and for all.
<o:p></o:p>
But it doesn’t end there, the New World Order under the name of the EU and the
UN will move into the picture soon after this thing kicks off. So even though
this base is being built by the United States it is in fact a New World Order
Base being put into place. Of course it is stripping Israel of its sovereignty
with the help of Ariel Sharon, who I am sure by now has convinced himself that
he is doing the best thing for the Jews of Israel. It’s also interesting that
99% of the population of Israel knows nothing about this base being built, not
one story has been reported in any Israeli newspaper. No mention of it on the
TV it is just being done very quickly and very quietly. What is so amazing is
how quickly they can accomplish such a task these days.
<o:p></o:p>
There is one other possibility, and that is to house the tens of thousands of
protesters who will fight the Sharon Disengagements, but I don’t think so, such
a large base would not be needed, and certainly not all the warehouses.
<o:p></o:p>&n bsp;
It should also be noted that there are no US troops on this base at this time,
but it is obvious that many soon will be. And for those in the US they haven’t
heard any of this from the US Government either.
<o:p></o:p>
Please keep in mind this is not a new agency, but a Ministry and we are in great
need to purchasing the larger vessel, and to keep the ministry here in Israel
healthy. Please pray about your part in this Ministry.
<o:p></o:p>
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel, and all the IDF soldiers.
Pray for those who have come to fight the Islamic enemy. Pray for this Ministry
and your part in it. Shalom, jerry golden

Deception Of Sugar.come, Lord Jesus.
"A DECEPTION made of SUGAR"
-extracts by Arthur Eedle. (-Sept 1994).
Twenty years ago this month the Lord gave me one of the strangest
visions I have ever received, and on reflection I still believe it to be
one of the most important, revealing the subtlety of the enemy's
intrusion into the end-time works of God. The vision became the
subject of our very first edition of The Prophetic Telegraph, which
we published on 27th June 1986. In view of the way things have
gone in the western world in the last twenty years, we now believe
that it is timely to review this vision in the light of developments. The
Lord said that in the last days He would send "strong delusion" to
those "who received not the love of the truth." This was the basis of
the vision, which may now be set down once again for analysis.
The Crown Agents in London had appointed me to teach in the King
George V School, Hong Kong.... I was told there were more
millionaires per square mile in Hong Kong than anywhere else in
the world, and after being there for some time, I could well believe
it. Looking back I now believe that what happened next was related
to the Hong Kong way of life, as it was going to influence the newly
forming charismatic churches in the west. Except that the luxury
relates mainly to the spiritual realm rather than the material realm.
As I sat looking at this amazing scene I began to see something
else, and because of its strangeness my mind was alerted
immediately to the fact that God was conveying truth in visionary
form. I saw a duck, and I knew that it had been made of icing sugar
because a hand was smoothing down the surface with a knife. When
all was complete, the strange thing padded along on its webbed feet
as though alive, and settled down on a flat surface somewhere. But
if this was strange, the next part of the vision took me even more by
surprise, because I saw dozens of people arriving at the duck, and it
was only then that I realised how large it was. It must have been all
of forty feet tall! The people were excited about the coming of the
duck, and some of those who were braver than the rest even went up
to it and touched it. One of them licked his fingers and the taste was
sweet. Breaking a fragment from the surface he ate it, and jumped for
joy. Others gained confidence and followed his example until they
were all delerious with excitement. I saw them singing, dancing,
throwing up their hands in the air, and embracing each other. The
festive atmosphere was its own advertisement. People arrived in
droves, pushing and shoving, and climbing over the duck with the aid
of ladders in an effort to obtain a handful of icing sugar and join in the fun.
This continued for some time until one man gave a very loud shout,
which brought everything to a halt. They saw him pointing to a hole
that had appeared in the icing sugar. It was therefore not solid as
they had originally thought. No one had imagined the sugar icing
might give out sooner or later. After this, caution was exercised in
the eating. Everyone agreed to ration what was left. But they found
to their joy that even the smallest taste produced the same effects
as a handful, and they wished they had learned this lesson earlier.
In the process of time many more holes appeared. Some tried
looking inside the duck, but all was pitch dark. Nothing could be
seen. Gradually the duck became wafer thin. All of a sudden the
crash came as the remainder of the duck disintegrated in a cloud of
very fine dust. The crowd became silent, waiting and watching.
It took a while for the dust to settle, and then I had a shock. Inside
the duck there was a terrible black beast about forty feet long, in
shape like a scorpion with bulbous green eyes. It also had wings
similar to those of a dragonfly. I fully expected the crowd to disperse
at great speed, but instead they became delirious with excitement
once again, and accepted the beast as their accredited leader. If
anything, the excitement became greater than before. At this point
the vision changed, and I saw the hand once again. It was
outstretched with some white pills on the palm. A small number of
people were arriving to receive one, which they ate. The result showed
on their faces as an inner sense of peace and tranquillity. And then
the two visions merged. Once again I saw people taking the icing
sugar from the duck and jumping about in excitement. The group from
the second vision were approaching, and mingling with the crowd,
warning them, "Don't eat it! It's dangerous!" But there was very little
response. Some shouted at them, "Go away, you prophets of doom!
Don't tell us that YOU have the Spirit of the Lord. Where is your joy?"
Disheartened they eventually wandered away, feeling a dull ache in
the pits of their stomachs.
Later on, when I had made a record of the vision, the Lord spoke to
me, and I wrote down the message, as follows:-
"The hand that formed the bitter pill fashioned also the duck. This
is my work, and by it my name will be magnified. Twenty centuries
of progress has not changed the nature of man, and neither has it
changed mine, says the Lord. My Son is the Way, the Truth and
the Life. All those who reject the bitter pill of the cross will find
themselves prey to the lie. I will send them strong delusion, and
they will believe it and rejoice in it because their hearts are not set
upon the Way. They will accept falsehood in a season of careless
security, indulging in spiritual flirtation with powers of darkness
dressed up in acceptable guise. They longed for sweet things and
I gave them sugar, but it was not in tune with my heart, says the
Lord. And each bite of the duck they take, so grows the beast within.
And each bite of the duck they take, so blind they become to the
truth. And then, when antifaith has done its final work the
beast is revealed to the world, enthroned within the temple of God,
blasphemously parading divine nature. Mark well my words, says
the Lord, there is but one great sign for this world, one marvel, one
miracle of challenge that I will accept, and it is the sign of the
prophet Jonah. And those who take the bitter pill shall find
loneliness, derision and sorrow. And they shall walk the way of their
Master, learning of His sorrows, sharing His suffering, conforming
to His death. But I shall raise them to life, life on a higher plane,
and they shall take my message to the nations. This is my sign,
and this shall be their reward. All other ways, however right they
may appear to man, shall be disallowed in my sight, says the Lord.
And those who eat the duck shall refuse this glory when it is
revealed for it shall be folly to them. Choose therefore whilst it is
still possible, choose the salt and reject the sugar, says the Lord,
for the time is now short."
I should like to display a brief snatch from another vision, one
which my wife received in June 1969. She saw a dam across a
narrow ravine, and behind the dam there was to start with just a
small trickle of water, but over a lengthy period of time the water
rose to produce a large lake, and eventually filled the ravine to the
top of the dam. At this stage, the dam burst, and the waters flowed
out, bright and iridescent, into the valley beyond. The Lord gave
the interpretation. The water represented the faith of His people.
And the effect of faith was twofold. Firstly, the faith had an effect
in the believer's life and his walk. But secondly, the faith had
another effect, which was not appreciated by the believer at all.
In heavenly places, each act of faith was like the water behind the
dam. God was preparing for a yet future day when, in His Kingdom,
He could liberate the combined effect of all the faith of His elect,
and it would flow out to a needy world. I believe the two visions
are essentially the same in their interpretation. But the dam refers
to God's work, whereas the duck refers to the counterfeit work.
The people who ate the pills - These have fed on the true word, and
have seen the nature of the evil. They pray for the others, and
whenever occasion arises, they approach them and warn them, but
usually to no avail. Hence the sweetness in the mouth gave way to
bitterness of soul at the outcome of their endeavours.
The Lord's hand - Some might be upset when they realise the Lord
was the One who designed the duck. But it must be remembered
that in olden days, after King Saul's disobedience, the Lord withdrew
His Spirit from him, and gave him an evil spirit instead. In each of
these cases, the Lord takes full responsibility for what happens,
even though Satan was the donor of Saul's evil spirit, as he is also
the architect of the duck.
Those who tried to warn the people of the dangers they were facing,
only received reviling comments. "Where is your joy?" they asked.
But how can you approach such people with a smile, when your
task is to warn them of danger? They were drunk with the wine of
intoxication, produced by the effects of eating the sugary sweet
words of the false prophet, and enjoying the effects.
The Holy Spirit's ministry to believers is essentially towards their
re-creation in the Lord's own image. But in these days, at the latter
end of the twentieth century, vast numbers of believers look to the
Holy Spirit for power, signs and wonders, which instead of crucifying
the flesh, tend to feed it. Oh how easy it is to be captivated by all
the manifestations of supernatural power today. Many Christians go
"conference hopping" in the hope of being present at yet another
occasion of "blessing", where they can witness all manner of effects,
not just by the preacher and those called to the front, but throughout
the auditorium. Ifbelievers persist in praying to the Holy Spirit for
signs and manifestations, the Holy Spirit cannot answer. It is
contrary to the purpose for which the Spirit has come. But there is
always "another" who "comes in his own name", and "him you will
hear." The crucial decision must be made. Is the flesh being fed, or crucified?
The Lord spoke to my wife some years ago saying, "In these days
treat the miraculous very lightly. Look rather to the LIVES of those
who profess to have spiritual powers." We have found it a most valuable word.
It is amazing how hard one may become when striving constantly
for "power". But those who are striving for mastery (lawfully), "walk
in the Spirit and have no confidence in the flesh." All such are
progressively broken on the Rock which is Christ, and in brokenness
they learn to be gentle, even when acting as salt.
Two final words. First of all, over the years since 1986, when we first
started publishing The Prophetic Telegraph, we have frequently
warned our readers about these growing tendencies within the
charismatic movement. But lest any should think that we doctrinally
reject manifestations of God's Holy Spirit in these end days, our
testimony is that my wife and I received the baptism of the Spirit in
1967, and have used the gift of speaking in tongues in our private
prayer lives ever since. We have also been God's instruments in
areas of deliverance ministry, healing, and in receiving visions and
revelations from the Lord.
Normally we should not wish to advertise this fact, but it seems
necessary to say so at this juncture to avoid being misunderstood.
And secondly, over this period of time we have certainly been too
strident and even harsh in our advertisement of the words of warning
given to us. The Lord has graciously revealed these areas to us,
(mainly myself), and where necessary letters of apology have been
dispatched. It is good therefore to reveal this publicly now. My
sincere prayer and desire for all those who are being sucked in to
this present hyped up atmosphere of spiritual worship, is that the
Holy Spirit will bring them through to a stable ground where they
can appreciate the "way of the cross" that Jesus taught. I have no
antagonism towards any of God's people, no matter what their
persuasion is. If God has saved them through the precious blood of
His own beloved Son, then they are my brothers and sisters in
Christ. May God teach me how to love, and yet retain integrity
based upon the revelation granted, until the end come. Even so
come, Lord Jesus.

Nadia Matar Was Indicted Today!
The Sharon Government has decided to indict Nadia Matar for insulting a public
official. She was served today with this criminal indictment and was required
to retain counsel to defend her against this ludicrous criminal charge.
You will recall that Nadia justly compared Jonathan Bassi, who was selected by
Sharon to head the agency to uproot Jews from their homes, to the Judenrat
(Jewish Leaders) in Berlin during the Holocaust. She pointed out that Bassi was
doing something even worse than the Judenrat during the Hitler regime, since it
was well known that those Jewish Leaders acted under duress of the Nazis, while
Bassi voluntarily undertook his position to head this Agency.
This grievious error of the dictatorial Sharon Regime will not succeed. It is
within the obligation of every citizen to speak up against this evil deportation
of Jews from their Biblical Promised Land. Nadia did so and should be commended
for so doing.
To curtail free speech in this manner is indicative of the true nature of
Sharon. Nadia speaks for the majority of the Jewish People in her opposition to
uprooting Jews from their homes in the Holy Land. Besides giving in to Arab
terror, Sharon is leading the Jewish People to certain destruction. It is the
obligation of every citizen at this crucial time in our history to warn Sharon,
and those officials who are acting in his behalf, of the pending Holocaust.

It's heating up here in Israel and promises to get much hotter. Ground Zero
July 18th.
Posted: Wednesday, July 06, 2005
- written by jerry golden & nbsp; &n bsp;
There have been many confrontations between the IDF and the anti-Disengagement
folks here in Israel, but the real battle is about to be kicked off starting
July 18th. There is a three-day march with a possible 100,000 Israelis
participating. It will be well organized with refreshments along the way and
all the necessary ingredients to make it successful. Of course the Sharon
Government is expected to do all it can to disrupt the march using their usual
bag of Shin Bet dirty tricks. For example the so-called “near” Palestinian
lynching of a Palestinian who was hit with rocks thrown by a Settler has now
been exposed as a Shin Bet agent trying to discredit the anti-Disengagement
movement. Not to mention all the Jews who have been stoned by Palestinians
during the same period but never mentioned in the Media.
<O:P></O:P>
Sharon is terrified of the possibility of 100,000 Jews entering Gush Katif
(Gaza) and taking up residence preventing the expelling of Jews from their
homes. Already the threat has been sent out that he will close Gush Katif
making sure none of the marchers will be able to enter Gaza.
<O:P></O:P>
But one thing is certain, the resistance to the Sharon Government is about to
take on a new reality and one Sharon will not like, you can also be certain
George W. Bush is watching very closely because he is under great pressure from
his Friends the Saudis to deliver on his promise to them made before his
invasion of Iraq.
<O:P></O:P>
It seems the north Samarian settlement of Sa-Nur isn’t getting the attention
that Gaza is, but they are planning to fight for their homes as well and have
made plans to defeat the IDF when they come. They have been told that the IDF
will not carry guns, but they have noticed the IDF said the same thing about the
Hotel in Gush Katif but they in-fact did carry guns and seems more than willing
to use them. Over 1,000 IDF soldiers rush in on 150 young Jewish kids who were
holed up in the Hotel in protest to the Disengagement. Then bragged that they
were able to defeat the Jewish kids in less than half an hour, “Big Deal”.
<O:P></O:P>
What I find really interesting is no one is talking to the average Palestinian
and asking them what they want. But many polls have been taken and the results
have been very clear. Over 90% polled in East Jerusalem do not want to live
under PA (Islamic) rule. Along the so-called Green Line similar numbers have
shown these Arab’s do not want to be on the wrong side of the security fence.
In fact, there had been many “Palestinians” villages that were left on the wrong
side and these Arabs (Palestinians) and have petitioned the Israeli high court
to make the fence include them on the Israeli side. But the Arabs who live in
places like Bethlehem, Jericho, Ramallah, Hebron and many others deeper inside
the so-called territories have no chance of getting an Israeli ID. Thousands of
Palestinians under the threat of their lives have applied for Israeli ID in
order to stay on the Israeli side of the security fence. These are some facts
you will not hear on the New World Order controlled media.
<O:P></O:P>
Another thing the “Palestinians” have noticed over the past week or so, in towns
that Hamas has won city council seats. Islamic Sharia Law is starting to be
imposed on them and they don’t like it. There are several “Palestinian”
celebrations that call for dancing in the streets by men and women, last week
many of these celebrations were canceled by the cities that have a majority of
Hamas on the city councils stating that it is against the Koran for men and
women to dance together, and that women must be covered at all time while in
public. We are already seeing a “Palestinian” form of Taliban being formed in
advance of a Palestinian state.
<O:P></O:P>
In the mean time the Likud backlash against the new Dictator Ariel Sharon is
getting louder. This Wednesday in Tel-Aviv some 500 Likud central committee
members will meet an urge Uzi Landau to challenge Sharon and Netanyahu for
leadership of the Likud Party. I have been saying for the past two years that
he is the only chance the country has to over come this insanity. His chances
are not good to overcome the power base of Netanyahu and Sharon, but they are
growing as people are starting to realize who and what he stands for. He is a
good man, honest and a true Zionist and a great Jew who would make a great Prime
Minister. Below is a picture of Uzi and I at a meeting a few months back, I am
showing it to make sure everyone knows where I stand.
<O:P></O:P>&n bsp;
As for Netanyahu he could have stopped this disengagements on several occasions
but refused to show any courage, now he wants his cake and eat it both, to late
and most who once supported him see him for who and what he is.
<O:P></O:P>
But to ask Uzi Landau to take over the Party that Sharon has all but destroyed
may be asking to much of him, but if we are to have a political chance he is the
man who can do it for Israel. You can be sure he will not have George W. Bush’s
support simply because he can not be controlled by the United States or any one
else.
<O:P></O:P>
We all know that the real salvation for Israel is in the God of Israel, for this
land He calls His Land, and these people He calls His people. That is not to say
He is happy with the corruption and insane activity of this Israeli Government.
For it is obvious Sharon is acting against the will of God, We all know it is
God who is really in control and His Will, will be done regardless of Bush,
Sharon, or the Devil himself. For that matter the entire Islamic world can go
to hell and I am sure they will for their god Allah is the Devil.
<O:P></O:P>
It is for us who know God to continue on His path of righteousness. For the Jew
who knows God and the Believers in Yeshua who knows Him must and will learn to
work together for they both have the same purpose and in the final analysis we
both will stand together before God as one in the Blessed Messiah. But all who
call themselves a Jew are not a Jew in God’s eyes, and all who call themselves
“Christians” and not Christians in God’s eyes. For each one of us must have a
personal relationship with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and God knows
our hearts. We can find the truth of salvation in His Word, in both the Tenach
(Old Testament) and the New Testament. The Devil has had many victories in
dividing God’s two people but the final victory will be in God and in His Word,
and He became Flesh and Tabernacle with us. But there will be no real peace
here in Israel or in the world anywhere until the Prince of Peace plants His
feet on the Mount of Olives.
<O:P></O:P>
In the mean time we have all been called to be a witness to a lost, corrupted,
violent world, and our best witness is out lives not our mouths. We must let
our actions be our best witness before we have the right to open our mouths.
<O:P></O:P>
This Ministry has several obligations and we must be about the task set before
us. The larger vessel must be purchased, and now it seems we are being called
upon to feed a few hungry Jewish mouths so their children can be nourished and
grow in good health. There is much hunger in Israel today, I was so shocked
when visiting a neighborhood right here in Jerusalem, many have come from places
like Iran with nothing but the clothes on their backs, they need a lot more help
then this Israel Government is willing to give them. We can’t help them all nor
do I believe God is calling us to that ministry, but He would have us help a few
who we can stay in close contact with making sure the help is going where it
should.
<O:P></O:P>
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel, for all the IDF soldiers and
all those who have come to fight the Islamic enemy. Pray for this Ministry and
you part in it. Shalom, jerry golden

Last week was particularly deadly, with an Islamic Jihad
2)
Zubeidi (at right) heads an organization that has claimed responsibility for more than 300 terrorist attacks in Israel. This is the latest indication that Reuters, whose Mideast reports are widely syndicated in the US and Canada, has lost its neutrality when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 
Aoun Ally Narrowly Survives Beirut Hit
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon urged western Jews to move to Israel during his speech at the opening ceremony for the 17th Maccabiah Games – "the Jewish Olympics" at Ramat Gan's National Stadium outside Tel Aviv on Monday. "I hope that by the next Maccabiah, you will have immigrated here and be part of the Israeli delegation," Sharon told the crowd. Over the next ten days more than 7,000 athletes from 55 countries will participate in the games, described as a global expression of Jewish unity which takes place every four years.
Police forces across the nation went onto a high state of alert Tuesday evening after a Palestinian suicide bomber killed at least three young women and injured two dozen more outside the Hasharon Mall on the edge of Netanya, shattering months of fragile calm.
In the meantime Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz convened an urgent meeting of security chiefs Tuesday night in which he announced his decision to suspend contacts with the PA over the imminent transfer of Bethlehem to Palestinian control.
