Killings from both sides, both nations, in the recent week or so, have led to the Israeli Embassy by Egyptians - looting, files scattered, fires and etc.
So troubles could be coming once more for both of these countries that in the past have gone to war against each other.

The Libya rebels or revolutionists are moving in on the last town of Madghafi loyalists. Where the dictator is know-body seems to know, or we are not being told.
..........
Tony Blair (past Prime Minister of Britain) says the world is a much safer place since 9/11 but the present Prime Minister of Britain says there is still a huge problem that could come from fanatical Islam groups. Bush along with Blair started the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush has admitted that after 9/11 he was emotionally wanting to "kick some ass." And as we know he set about to do so, the problem is that tens of thousands of those "ass kicking" were the killing of the innocent people during the ten year war with Iraq/Afghanistan.
..........
Europe has banned Syrian oil .... a statement to Syria that it does not like what the dictator is doing, and the killing of unarmed innocent people. 3.2 Billion dollars come into Syria from oil each year. Hence Europe is giving Syria an economic spanking. Europe will continue to flex its muscles when it thinks it needs to do so. She will in time be a mighty power that will play THE major part of end-time prophecy.
..........
Israel people (some estimate 400 thousand) have taken to the streets to protest the cost of living and that economic reforms are taking way too long.

Generosity of GANDER people on 9/11
On 9/11 many planes with a total of 7,000 people had to land in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada. This was the population of Gander itself.
The Gander people showed unlimited kindness, love, friendship, by taking in the USA people, in their homes etc. They provided food and beds and total friendship - unlimited love and friendship. Ten years later that friendship continues, between both the USA and Canadian people.
Yes, should not be a surprise, we are brother peoples, and the people of Newfoundland are by nature a down to earth friendly people.
The Canadian CBC have made a film on the Gander friendship, it goes on Canadian TV this coming Sunday (9/11) evening.

Canadian survivor of 9/11 speaks
Canadian Brian Clark was in Tower 2 on 9/11 2001. The plane hit, things fell all around him, the building swayed towards the Hudson River about 6 to 8 feet. He thought it would fall. It came back and with a pop of iron on iron stood still. Clark was only one of four people to survive who were ABOVE the plane crash.
He does not spend hardly any time thinking on the "why"of it all.
His family and faith support him.
Asked what we can learn from 9/11 he replies:
Life is precious - use your life - love others - use your abilities and gifts to love and give to others - life is precious - make sure you do something good with your life.

DECADE OF FEAR - Reporting from the Terrorism's Grey Zone
A NEW BLOCK-BUSTER BOOK!!!!
"Michelle Shephard hauntingly describes the rage that followed
September 11, and how fear affected the many victims of the
decade of terror. Through her outstanding reporting, Michelle
recounts how the 'war on terror' has yet to be won and bears
witness to the consequences of a decade in which justice was not
blind, and the world was only viewed through the prism of fear."
LT.General (Ret) Senator Romeo Dallaire - author of "Shake Hands
with the Devil" and "They Fight Like Soldiers. They Die Like
Chrildren."
......
"Reading Decade of Fear is essential to understanding the
post-9/11 world. Well-written, intelligent and informative - I
couldn't put it down. If you care about the world you live in and
can only read one book this year, this should be it."
Marina Nemat - author of "Prisoner of Tehran and After Tehran."
......
"Decade of Fear is so thrilling and terrific I wish it wasn't
true. You know any book that opens with an ex-ClA director using
beer nuts to illustrate torture techniques is going to be wild,
and it only gets more gripping from there. Michelle Shepherd is a
rock'm-sock'm storyteller and an absolutely heroic reporter."
Christopher McDougall - author of "Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe.
Superathlete, and the greatest Race the World Has Never Seen."
......
"Michelle Shephard is one of the great national security
reporters of our time. In this age of 'journalists' embedded in
their air-conditioned offices, she is a rare exception: a real
reporter, guided by that old-fashioned idea that the job of a
journalist is simple: being there. And in her case, 'there' is
often the most violent, hellish places the world has to offer."
Jeremy Scahill - author of "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's
Most Powerful Mercenary Army."
......
"Michelle Shephard has delivered a wide-ranging, well-written,
witty account of the war that began on 9/11 that is also a
serious, knowledgeable and empathetic journey through many of the
countries in the Muslim world where that war has been fought. She
takes the reader on quite a ride. My advice: Go along!"
Peter L. Bergen - author of "The Longest War: The Enduring
Conflict between America and Al-Qaeda."
......
INSIDE THE FRONT COVER:
DECADE OF FEAR is a darkly entertaining journey through the
complicated, often bizarre world of national security since 9/11.
On that night, Toronto Star journalist Michelle Shephard watched
the remains of New York's World Trade Center fall from the sky,
wondering what much of the world was asking: "Why?" So began a
ten-year search for answers that took her through the streets of
Mogadishu and Karachi, into the mountains of Waziristan and
behind the wire of Guantanamo Bay two dozen times.
Shephard conducted hundreds of interviews across the globe, and
with sharp insight and an appreciation for the absurd, she weaves
together stories of war-lords, presidents, spies, grieving widows
and global terrorists, to describe the historic decade where all
too often the West's "solutions" for terrorism only served to
exacerbate the problem. She meets Somali radical Hassan Dahir
Aweys, who denies having any ties to al Qaeda before
complimenting her on her beat-up Blundstone boots. She cruises
with former CIA bosses, meets victims of terrorism who leave her
devastated and earns enough stamps on her Gitmo Starbucks card
for a free latte. One of only a handful of journalists to
experience the Arab Spring from the streets of Sanaa, she runs
alongside student protestors to escape fire from Yemen's security
services.
A gripping non-fiction tale that is both heartbreaking and
infuriating, Decade of Fear broadens our understanding of a
decade that was all too often described through panicked
rhetoric.
......
MICHELLE SHEPHARD is the Toronto Star's national security
correspondent. She has won Canada's top journalism honours: the
National Newspaper Award for investigations and beats and the
Governor General's Michener Award for Public Service Journalism.
Her first book, "Guantanamo's Child: The Untold Story of Omar
Khadr," was voted by Embassy magazine as one of the twenty most
influential books of the year.
......
I was driving home and listening to the half hour interview on
CBC with Michelle and her book. I drove straight to our local large
book store and bought her book. It sounds like it will be a
block-buster and an eye-opener. I will bring you my comments on
the book down the road, as I read through it.
It's a book that you may want to purchase, just as I did.

9/11 - 10 years on/USA jobs from Obama
All this week and for the next few days leading up to the 10th anniversary of 9/11, you should be finding all kinds of articles, studies, history, on this now infamous day in the world's history. We must remember that many people from different nations lost their lives in the fanatical terrorists attacks on USA soil on September 11th 2001.
And if you are so inclined you can go to my website and study the articles on the so-called "conspiracy arguments" and how I and others have answered them.
Oh and as some have reminded me, some things were good on September 11th - I was born....hope you think that is good. Yes born September 11th 1942 - I'll be 69!
..........
President Obama has once again tried to bring a speech to the Democratic and Republican parties to "get jobs created" and get the USA people back to work and to try and fire-up the USA economy. Time will tell if he gets anywhere, for the last 3 years he has not, and the USA is still a ship half sunk in the water.
..........
Most people (I was one of them) probably had no idea the south Philippines was home to terrorists that had connections with the plots of 9/11. The CBC.ca (the CBC TV station of Canada) has a short documentary on the subject - a real eye opener.
..........
Texas is burning up! Yes literally! The smoke from the forest fires can be seen from outer-space. Then in other parts of the USA we have floods from the hurricanes coming in. In Alberta, Canada, we are having way above normal temperatures - hot and more hot for this time of the year, after a summer of not many really hot days at all. The hot summers have been the normal for 11 years out of the 13 years I've been here in Calgary. Now we are having the heat we should normally get in July and August. Strange up-side-down weather in many parts of the world - all a part of end time prophecy. The draught and famine in the horn of Africa is the worst in 60 years.
..........
The new movie out "The Debt" is an interesting and suspenseful movie - a thrilling drama about an Israel trio after a Nazi doctor of madness, after the Second World War. A story that had a truth that might well have happened if all the truths about World War Two were given out, certainly we know Israel and other nations of the West were after the Nazi monsters that got away when that world war came to an end.
..........
So the world waits to see where Mad-ghafi of Libya is hiding out, as the last days of his power and army will surely come to its end by the end of next week. But what is coming to light now is the secret "workings with" this mad-man over the past decades by Britain and USA secret service agencies. Documents now being found by Libya's freedom fighters could prove to be an embarrassment to Britain and the USA. What goes on behind closed doors for the expedient present (of yesterday now past) as it was in the past present ... well they have a way of coming out eventually. It's kinda like, "which of the evils do we work with to contain what we consider a greater evil." Such are the ways of the carnal minded Governments of this world, or the Western world as it perceived in the past which were its greater enemies.

USA - no new jobs/Postal Service in BIG trouble!
So as I've been telling you, no new jobs created in the USA and so is proof the USA has not come out of recession as they have been trying to tell you for a year or more.
Pres.Obama is still trying to figure how to create jobs. What he's mentioned you'd have thought he would have brought in many moons ago......words words and words, anyone can say anything, the proof of the pie is in the eating, we'll see if this time he puts action back of his words.
The USA postal service is in deep and deeper trouble. ABC news said they were not asking for money but many ways to cut things and save lots of money. If not they are saying the USA may not have postal service by December. Talk about bringing in things the Canadian Postal service did decades ago. But the Canadian system went still one step further, they privatized local Post Offices. The facts are that of course in today's space age technology, the Post Office cannot be what it once was, all the modern ways of fast communication via email, and etc. has to take an ever larger slice of the Post Office cake.
..........
The last days of Libya's Mad-ghafi is not far away. The horrific facts coming out of Syria are sickening, and Nato needs to take action to put down this latest mad-dog dictator, on the world scene.

Our Troubled Earth!!
OUR TROUBLED EARTH
BY HOLLY MILLS
"For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in paim together until now" (Romans 8:22)
A look at any newspaper headline or TV newscast today has numerous stories of disasters affecting our earth. We have fires, floods, droughts, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, typhoons and hurricanes. There are wars, pestilences and famines everywhere. We indeed live on a troubled earth. Jesus warned us of these times immediately proceeding His return. `For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. (Matt. 24:7). 1 find it ironic that when so many of these disasters happen we blame God! Of course we never blame ourselves! These disasters may be judgment from God or the natural result of our disobedience to God and His laws. Whichever it is, in the end we are to blame, not God.
God is the ruler of the earth and will not allow anything to happen that He does not want.
"The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and they that dwell therein." (Psa. 24:1) He can change the direction of a storm in a second if that is His will. He is allowing or causing these things to happen to get our attention so that we will repent. We are making a horrible mess of this world by not obeying God's laws and He is trying to warn us.
God gave man dominion over the earth to manage it and to take care of it, not to exploit and destroy it, which is what we are doing today. In Deut. 20: 19&20 and Deut. 22: 4&6 God shows us how we are to manage our trees, cattle and wildlife, but we have abandoned these laws saying that they do not apply anymore and we know better. We are now seeing the consequences of our disobedience. We are losing our fish, timber and wildlife. "Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel. for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another. for thy people are as they that strive with the priest." (Hos. 4:1-4). "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. " (Hos. 4:6). We have forgotten our God and exploited and abused all the wonderful things that He has given us, therefore our children and all the earth is suffering for our sin.
We have allowed big business and the multinationalists to buy and manage our precious resources. They are only concerned with profits and don't care about our lands, the lands that God gave us to use and to take care of, not to give away. We may now still live in these lands but we do not really own them.
Pollution is causing havoc on the earth and many health related illnesses are due to this. We have a rising world population, global change, disappearing rainforests, which produce most of our oxygen, etc. Our earth is in a crisis that no man can fix and unless our Lord returns soon we are doomed. Most Christians today, who should know better, are completely unaware of how bad the situation is. They go about their weekly religious lives without putting any thought into what is really happening to our earth. If they do comment at all, they say "Oh these things have all happened before. It doesn't mean anything." They are so caught up in their own lives and troubles that they do not see it or at least don't want to see what is happening. Throughout all of the tragedies befalling us I have not heard anyone say we must ask for God's forgiveness of our sins. They want God to help them but they don't want to do their part in the relationship. What will it take to humble us? I guess only time will tell, but it is coming soon. Things are rapidly getting worse.
Our Lord is coming soon to destroy those who are destroying His creation. I find the following verses very comforting.
"Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water. in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reed and rushes. And an highway shall be there, and a way and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee
away." (Isa. 35:4-10).
Writer's Note: After selecting this article for publication, I started to reflect on Jeremiah 30:15, "Why criest thou for thine affliction? Thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee."
Then I thought, "It is interesting at this time how people are starting to cry out and complain about all the trouble they are finding themselves in and yet they refuse to acknowledge the source of their affliction. Unfortunately, though, unless we repent and turn away from our wicked sins our affliction and our sorrow will continue to increase. "For thus saith the Lord, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous. There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased." (Jer. 30:12-14).
The Lord is judging our earth. We must make ourselves ready. "For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after." (Jer.30:17).
..........
In one prophecy we are told "Do not pray for this people" - God will not listen. We have probably reached that point. We have stepped over the line of no return. There is no one to bring back our people of the West and the East to REPENTANCE and serving the Eternal in spirit and in truth. What has been written in the prophets will needs come to pass. It is the only way the nations of this earth will come to realize God does exist and the only answer for the woes of this world, is to obey the commandments of the Lord, and to deeply REPENT of sin and follow the way of righteousness. Righteousness is Ps. 119:172. But you as an individual can know God and His Son Christ Jesus. You can know them, and find salvation, and the right way to live that leads to eternal life in the very Kingdom of God. All about God and Christ and Salvation and the Kingdom is expounded for you on my website - keithhunt.com
