BREAKING NEWS! State of South Carolina Involved In Massive Personal Data Confiscation

By:  Marshall Ramsey II, Worthy News U.S. Correspondent

Columbia, SC (WorthyNews) - The State of South Carolina on August 27, 2012 experience a 'data breach' in its Department of Revenue files.  It experienced two more breaches in early September, and two more data breaches in mid September, according to an official press release issued by the State of South Carolina Department of Revenue.

    South Carolina Department of Revenue (DOR) Director James Etter said that on October 10th of this year, DOR was contacted by the South Carolina Division of Information Technology and informed them of a "potential cyber attack involving the personal information of taxpayers."

     "We worked with them throughout that day to determine what may have happened and what steps to take to address the situation," he said.  "We also immediately began consultations with state and federal law enforcement agencies and briefed the governor's office."

     Upon the recommendation of law enforcement officials, DOR contracted Mandiant, a personal information protection company based in Alexandria, VA, to "assist in the investigation, help secure the system, install new equipment and software and institute tighter controls on access (emphasis added)."

     According to the official press release, which can be found here, the hacker (which was traced back to Russia) obtained data for the first time in mid-September.  No other intrusions were noted past that time, and the vulnerability in the system was closed.

     "The number of records breached requires an unprecedented, large-scale response by the Department of Revenue, the State of South Carolina, and all our citizens," said Governor Nikki Haley in the press release.  "We are taking immediate steps to protect the taxpayers of South Carolina, including providing one year of credit monitoring and identity protection to those affected( emphasis added)."

     "From the first moment we learned of this, our top priority has been to protect the taxpayers and citizens of South Carolina, and every action we've taken has been consistent with that priority," DOR Director Etter said.  "We have an obligation to protect the personal information entrusted to us, and we are redoubling our efforts to meet that obligation."

  Here is where it gets interesting.  The State of South Carolina puts out a press release stating that in order to verify if your personal information has been compromised, you can call Experian Data Breach Resolutions at 1-866-578-5422.  A call placed to that number attempts to redirect you to their website, www.protectmyid.com, where they give you an enrollment offer.

     Question 1:  Why should a person have to enroll in the credit/ID protection program in order to find out if their information has been compromised?  Question 2:  Why is SC DOR not handling this situation themselves?  Question 3:  Why did the State of South Carolina release the private information of approximately 3.6 million tax filers to Experian without their permission?  In order for Experian to be able to tell the individual taxpayer if their personal information has been compromised, they must first have the information.
     A call placed to Governor Haley's office, by me, revealed that neither the State of South Carolina nor Experian can tell you if your private information has been compromised.  In order to do that, you must obtain a credit report, call your credit card company, your bank, etc... and find out if there has been any unusual activity.  Why then in the official press release is the State of South Carolina saying that you must go to Experian's website to see if your personal information has been stolen?  The only possible conclusion is that the State of South Carolina, in cooperation with Experian, is trying a massive phishing campaign in an attempt to get the private information, including credit card and bank account numbers, of the citizens potentially affected.

     Another question that must be asked is this:  If Mandiant has fixed the problem of the hack, why then are they going to "institute tighter controls on access?"  According to broadcast media, the hacker was traced back to Russia.  The statement above suggests that the "data breach" was instituted from within, from a Department of Revenue employee.  Why the lie?

     Yet another question arises:  Why does this situation require a "large-scale response" on the part of South Carolina citizens, as Governor Haley stated in the press release?  Why are both potentially former and current citizens urged to participate in this program instituted by South Carolina?
     If the State of South Carolina had simply went out and said this happened and that they are urging their citizens to have their credit checked to find out if their personal information had been compromised, many citizens would willingly have done the things the State is recommending.  Why then the deception?  Why the push for the citizens of the state of South Carolina to turn over their personal information?

     The State of South Carolina knows that its citizens would not willingly give up such personal information easily.  The only way to ensure maximum response from the citizens of South Carolina is to concoct this whole "Russian hack attack" scheme in order to get it.  This constitutes phishing, a.k.a. identity theft, both of which are punishable by law.

I'm Angry

I'm angry.

You see, as most Americans were waking up this morning, and those in Europe and elsewhere around the world were going about their daily routines, here in Israel -- over one million people were running for cover from a hail of rockets being rained down by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza. In the space of 24 hours, since Tuesday evening, 80 rockets have been fired on southern Israel. That's more than three rockets per hour. By the time I finish this article, odds are that count will have risen to 85 rockets.

Just to put things in context: one million Israelis is roughly 13 per cent of the population. Thirteen per cent of the U.S. population equates to about 40 million people.

A dozen Israelis have already been injured, with several of them seriously. The only reason more have not been hurt is because Israel has invested millions of dollars in bomb shelters and the Iron Dome defense system, while Hamas has invested millions of dollars in foreign aid in more rockets.

Obama's betrayal of Israel

Here is a grouping of some stories I have written over the past few days on President Obama's betrayal and acts of war against the nation of Israel:

Obama Administration Arms Deals Link With Syrian Rebels

By:  Marshall Ramsey II, WorthyNews.com U.S. Correspondent

     On Wednesday, October 17, the Obama administration announced plans to sell up to $60 billion worth of advanced fighter aircraft, helicopters, and related weapons systems to Saudi Arabia.  It is said to have been done to help Saudi Arabia deal with potential threats from Iran.

     In the Thursday, October 18, 2012 print edition of the Wall Street Journal, certain Syrian rebel fighter groups are reported to have received advanced portable anti-aircraft weapons, known as manpads (man-portable air defense systems).

     Video footage uploaded on the Internet earlier in the week apparently shows rebels in Aleppo, Syria, using weapons that military experts and rebels say are heat-seeking, shoulder-fired missiles, the first documented use of them in the conflict.  Versions of such weapons, also known by the term manpad have been smuggled into the country since the summer from Turkey, and to a lesser extent from Lebanon, according to Syrian rebels and self-proclaimed light arms suppliers.

     Under the terms of the deal, the United States will provide Saudi Arabia with 84 advanced F-15 fighter planes with electronics packages tailored to Saudi needs.  An additional 70 F-15's already possessed by the Saudis will be upgraded to match the capabilities of the new planes.

     Saudi Arabia will purchase a huge fleet of Apache, Blackhawk, and other U.S. military helicopters, along with a vast array of radar systems, anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles, and guided bombs.

     It has been reported that the Obama administration is supplying such weapons to Syrian rebels by way of Turkey and Saudi Arabia.  Within the past month it was reported that the Obama administraation quietly gave Saudi Arabia "arms distribution rights," meaning that the Obama administration sells weapons and other military equipment to Saudi Arabia and then they give them to whomsoever they will.  This could include, and, in fact, does, Turkey, Qatar, Oman, Lebanon, Egypt, and possibly others.

     Perhaps the most damaging piece of information to date confirming a U.S./Syrian opposition forces arms connection via Saudi Arabia and Turkey comes from a July 27, 2012 Reuters news article titled, "Secret Turkish nerve center leads aid to Syria rebels," by Regan Doherty and Amena Bakr.  It states that Turkey has set up a secret base with Saudi Arabia and Qatar to direct vital miltiary and communications aid to Syria's rebels from a city near the border, according to story sources.

     "It's the Turks who are militarily controlling it.  Turkey is the main coordinator/facilitator.  Think of a triangle, with Turkey at the top and Saudi Arabia and Qatar at the bottom," said a Doha-based source.

     "The Americans are very hands off on this.  U.S. intel(ligence) are working through middlemen.  Middlemen are controlling access to weapons and routes."

     On Wednesday, 17 October, 2012, fighters said they downed a miltary helicopter int he town of Maarat al-Nouman, in northern Idlib province.  At least three others were also brought down this week across Syria, rebels claim, although neither the manner in which they were brought down, nor the party/parties responsible could be independently verified through official channels.

     The supply center/supply routes appear to converge on Adana, which is located in southern Turkey, about 60 miles (100 km) from the Syrian border.  It was set up at the request of Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah al-Saud, according to a Gulf (of Aqaba?) source.  The Turks liked the idea of having a base in Adana so that they could supervise its operations, he added.

     Adana is home to Incirlik, a large Turkish/U.S. air force base which Washington has used in the past for reconnaissance and military logistics operations.

     Qatar, which played a leading part in supplying weapons to Libyan rebels, has a key role in directing operations at the Adana base, the sources said.  Qatar is a (natural) gas rich nation, which may be a clue as to their role in Adana, although specifics are not known at this time.  What is known is that Qatari military intelligence and state security officials are involved.

     Another curious aspect to this story is the fact that President Obama and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham-Clinton appear to be at odds on the issue of aiding Syrian rebels in the overthrow of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.  President Obama has consistently stated he wants to use "diplomatic efforts" to oppose President Assad while Secretary Clinton recently announced more support for Syrian rebels, people supposedly dedicated to ousting President Assad from power.

     What gives? Does President Obama secretly support the continued rule of Bashar Assad over the Syrian people, despite knowing what is going on there?  If so, why?  The arms package would have to be approved by Obama in order to take place, so it must have his approval.  And it is certain that President Obama knows that Saudi Arabia takes what they give and distributes it to other Middle-eastern and European countries.  So why the public disagreement?  The only answer that can be rightfully gotten is that President Obama is trying to deceive someone in the international community.

     We know that President Obama supported the government of Iran when the Arab Spring started last year, saying something similar to what he is saying now regarding Syria and the situation there.  We also know that President Obama supported rebel forces (whom we now know to be Muslim Brotherhood forces) in the overthrow of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and former Libyan President Mohammar Qaddafi.  Each of these are known to violently oppose anyone who disagrees with them, with retribution leading up to, and including, murder.

     It is also known that each of these groups, including President Obama, bears ill will toward the nation of Israel.  The question that has to be asked is this:  Is U.S. President Barack Obama secretly aligning with and uniting Israel's enemies in an effort to destroy them?  If not, what other conclusion can be reached?

Neither report is independently confirmed. •       Iran-Turkey gas pipe blown up injuring 28 Turkish soldiers The blast attributed to the Turkish Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) occurred in the eastern Turkish town of Eleskirt in Agri province Thursday night, halting the flow of Iranian natural gas to Turkey.  The Turkish soldiers were reportedly on the scene for "a special operation." Obama now admits Iran is piling up fissile material for 4-6 bombs DEBKAfile Exclusive Report 19 Oct, Barack Obama discreetly clued Binyamin Netanyahu in this week on the latest US intelligence confirming Iran will have enough enriched uranium for 4-6 bombs by March 2013, DEBKAfile reports. It was the first time Obama admitted knowing that sanctions and diplomatic pressure were not working. Also revealed was that Iran had doubled the enrichment centrifuges at Natanz to 6,000, and that Iran needs no more than 2-3 weeks to upgrade enriched uranium from 20% to weapons grade. Obama still objects to an Israeli pre-emptive strike.

She referred to an "illegal settlement" that undermines a two-state solution. Foreign Minister Lieberman said the bloc was ignorant of regional realities. "Gilo is part of Jerusalem and Jerusalem is part of Israel," he said. •       Syria, Iran, Hizballah don't play war games, they attack DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis 20 Oct. The car bomb which murdered anti-Syrian Lebanese security chief Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hasan and seven others Friday, Oct. 19, in East Beirut finally also dissipated hopes in the West and Israel of the Syrian civil war sundering the Tehran-Damascus-Hizballah axis. It also marked the brutal spillover of the Syrian bloodbath into a second Arab capital. Gen. al-Hasan paid the price for uncovering a Syrian plot to destabilize Lebanon and arresting the pro-Syrian politician and ex-information minister Michel Samaha for complicity in the plot. He also led that investigation that implicated Damascus in the 2005 bombing that killed former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri. This week, US President Barack Obama reined in Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and his chief of staff Gen. Necdet Ozel from expanding Turkish cross-border clashes with Syria. October 21, 2012 Briefs: •       Beirut police use live gunfire, gas to disperse Lebanese mourners Thousands of mourners tried to storm the prime minister's office central Beirut Sunday demanding his resignation over the murder of the Lebanese security chief Wissam al-Hasan Friday in a huge car bomb explosion that killed another 7 people.

It postulates 7,000 deaths, 70,000 injured and 170,000 rendered homeless. Updated Homeland Front directives advise people in its path to run for open ground instead of staying indoors. The US-Israeli three-week war game also starting Sunday simulates defending Israel under Iranian, Syrian and/or Hizballah missile attack. It deploys 1,000 American and Israeli soldiers each, using Patriot, Arrow and Iron Dome anti-missile batteries. White House denies US, Iran to hold one-on-one talks DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis 20 Oct. National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor Sunday denied the New York Times report that the US and Iran had agreed to hold one-on-one talks on Tehran's nuclear program before the US election. DEBKAfile:  The quick denial was necessary because Obama was shown not only to have misled Israel but also his five fellow world powers which had been holding talks with Iran. On April 16, 2012, DEBKAfile disclosed that Washington and Tehran were conducting back-channel talks in Paris and Vienna. In those talks he accepted Iran's right to enrich uranium, erased all Israel's red lines and only demands 24/7 inspections, which Tehran refused. The talks therefore produced no breakthrough. Yet Israel keeps on backtracking on its red lines: When Iran moved its enrichment plant into an immune zone earlier this month, one red line disappeared. And Israel is no longer openly challenges Washington's assurance that a decision by Khamenei to go forward and start building a weapon would reach US intelligence at the precise moment it is made. Hizballah hosts Iran's global cyber war-room in Beirut DEBKAfile Exclusive Report 21 Oct. DEBKAfile Exclusive: Iran has located its global cyber war-room at Hizballah's secret internal security apparatus headquarters in South Beirut, under the direction of Hassan Nasrallah's brother-in-law Wafiq Safa DEBKAfile's intelligence and counterterrorism sources reveal.

Two gunmen were killed, according to Palestinian sources, one of them the north Gaza commander of the Hamas Palestinian missile campaign against Israel. There were no Israeli casualties from the seven-missile Palestinian salvo against Sderot earlier Monday morning. The Qatari emir sees Hamas as his fighting arm DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis 22 Oct. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani of Qatar is not just be visiting the Gaza Strip as a benefactor but with a plan to extend the regional ambitions he sought by intervening in the Libyan revolt and the Syrian conflict. He is bidding to shore Hamas up as a force for reining in Salafi and al Qaeda lawlessness in Sinai before it cuts into Qatari influence in Libya. Israel may be up against more than Islamist terrorists, like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, but their Qatari sponsor and financier too. October 23, 2012 Briefs: •       Palestinian attacks from Gaza escalate Tuesday night, another 9 Qassam missiles and mortar shells fired at the Eshkol district and other Israeli locations within range of the Gaza Strip. No one was hurt.  Earlier, an IDF company commander was seriously injured by a bombing device on the Gaza border.  People living within rocket range of the Gaza Strip advised to stay close to shelters until further notice. •       Israeli N. Jerusalem checkpoint stops Palestinian carrying 8 bomb devices He tried to carry eight explosive devices past the checkpoint into Jerusalem when he was stopped and detailed. The checkpoint is closed. •       Travel advisory for US visitors to Sinai  US citizens are advised to avoid unsecured venues such as bazaars, shopping malls, night clubs and restaurants catering to foreign tourists. Obama, Romney reserved on commitment to Israel's defense DEBKAfile Special Report 23 Oct. Both US presidential contenders, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney pledged to stand with Israel if attacked in their foreign policy debate in Boca Raton, Florida Monday, Oct. 22.  Yet, in reply to a question, neither would formally declare that an attack on Israel would be tantamount to an attack on America, especially in relation to a nuclear Iran. Romney and Obama agreed that a military option must be a last resort, although Romney, unlike Obama, said even a "nuclear-capable Iran" was unacceptable. High alert for terror strikes against Israel and US, Egyptian Sinai targets DEBKAfile Special Report 23 Oct. Israeli, US, Egyptian and Jordanian counterterrorism agencies are on elevated alert ahead of the Eid al Adha festival starting Oct. 25, DEBKAfile: Salafi and al Qaeda cells in Egyptian Sinai are reported to be poised to unleash coordinated terrorist attacks on US and Egyptian targets in Sinai and in Israel to avenge Israel's targeted killing of two senior commanders of the Salafi-al Qaeda Sinai-Gaza network. Perpetrators of the Benghazi murders of 4 US diplomats are among the jihadi reinforcements coming in from Libya. The US special forces unit posted last month on Jordan's Syrian border was hurriedly transferred to the Red Sea port of Aqaba with a fleet of helicopters, in case MFO bases in Sinai come under attack. October 24, 2012 Briefs: The bombed Sudanese factory made Shehabs DEBKAfile Exclusive Report 24 Oct. The Yarmouk Complex near Khartoum, which was bombed Wednesday, Oct.  24, by four fighter-bombers, recently began manufacturing Iranian ballistic surface-to-surface Shehab missiles, DEBKAfile discloses. Western intelligence believes they were to be stocked as Tehran's strategic reserve stock in case its own ballistic arsenal was hit by Israeli bombers. Sudan accused Israel of the bombing. If the Israeli air force was responsible it would have demonstrated the ability to cover 1,800-1,900 kilometers to reach the Sudanese arms factory, which is farther than the 1,600 kilometers to the Iranian underground enrichment site of Fordo, while refueling in flight. Israel halts war games to deploy troops, missile interceptors in escalating Gaza sector DEBKAfile Special Report 24 Oct. Defense minister Ehud Barak and Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz decided Wednesday, Oct. 24, that the heavy Palestinian missile assault from the Gaza Strip, which escalated to 80 rockets on Israeli civilian locations, must be stopped. The bulk of the personnel taking part in the joint Israeli-US war game Austere Challenge 12 and the Turning Point 6 home front exercise were pulled out, together with anti-missile interceptors and other resources, and redeployed across from the Gaza Strip. DEBKAfile's military sources report that the two exercises were effectively halted, after a wide range of towns and villages within range of the Gaza Strip, including Ashkelon, took a heavy beating from round after round of rockets, including Grads. Two Thais working in the fields of the Eshkol district were flown to hospital in critical condition. Several properties were seriously damaged and local schools and work places remained closed. Iron Dome intercepted 7 Grads out of 13 aimed at Ashkelon. October 25, 2012 Briefs: •       Netanyahu and Lieberman agree on merger Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman announced that their parties, Likud and Israeli Beitenu, would run for election in January on a single ticket called Likud Beitenu.

Their union caught the national political scene by surprise. •       Assad accepts four-day Eid ceasefire The Syrian president announced Thursday that he accepts the UN envoy's proposal of a truce. •       Two more US soldiers killed by man in Afghan police uniform The killer shot the soldiers Thursday in Khas Uruzgan, Uruzgan province. It was not clear if he was an Afghan policeman carrying out another "insider" attack on US soldiers, or an attacker disguised as one. •       Israeli police alerted to threatened cyber attack Police computers were urgently disconnected Thursday from civilian networks upon being warned of an imminent cyber attack on their system. All police stations were prohibited from uploading any electronic material and officers told to shut their laptops to bar hackers.

Fw: NightWatch, 24 October, 2012

NightWatch For the night of 24 October 2012   North Korea:  According to a knowledgeable source, the vice minister of the People's Armed Forces was among senior officers executed by firing squad early this year for drinking alcohol and sexual carousing during the mourning period for former leader Kim Chong-il.   A government investigation ascribed to Kim Jong-un reportedly caught a dozen generals, including a deputy chief of the Army General Staff and the commanding officer of a frontline corps. All of them were accused of drinking liquor during the mourning period or being involved in sex scandals or both.      Comment: The news service reports suggest the military purge is ongoing though the executions apparently took place earlier in the year. Nevertheless, the Chief of the General Staff was sacked in July and civilian cabinet ministers have been replaced since then.   The reports indicate that the leadership group around Kim Jong-un is not yet secure. That would help explain its exaggerated reaction to leaflet drops from South Korea and its bellicose criticism of routine Allied exercises. The North Koreans are prickly toward outside provocations when the domestic leadership situation is unstable, as it seems. Purges always mean things are not going well in the leadership. It is not stable.   Afghanistan: Update. Taliban will increase the number of insider attacks against Coalition and Afghan forces, which have resulted in the deaths of at least 52 foreign troops so far this year, according to an emailed statement by Mullah Omar on 24 October.   In the statement congratulating Muslims as they prepare to celebrate the Eid al-Adha holiday, Omar urged "every brave Afghan in the ranks of the foreign forces and their Afghan hirelings ... to strike them."      Comment: Omar's statement removes the ambiguity about whether insider attacks are part of the Taliban strategy. They are.   Sudan-Israel: For the record. An attack by four military aircraft was responsible for a 24 October fire at the Yarmouk arms factory in Khartoum, Sudanese Information Minister Ahmed Belal Osman said. He blamed Israel for the airstrike because the aircraft approached the plant from the east.      Comment: The Israelis have conducted bolt-out-of-the blue attacks of this kind in the recent past in order to interrupt arms shipments from Sudan to the Palestinians in Gaza, via Egypt. The last such attack in Sudan occurred in 2009. As yet open sources have not reported the motive for the latest attack.   Syria: Lakhdar Brahimi, the international envoy trying to broker a peace deal in Syria, announced on Wednesday a tentative cease-fire between the two sides to mark the Muslim holy day of Eid al-Adha.   Brahimi is out in front of the principals. Syria announced it has not decided on the ceasefire and in any event makes its action contingent on reciprocity by the opposition.   Only a few of the opposition bands have agreed to the ceasefire. The Free Syrian Army announced a set of conditions freezing Syrian government forces before it would agree to a ceasefire.      Comment: The opposition conditions would require the Syrian government forces to stand in place, without promising reciprocity on the opposition's part. The ceasefire also has no provisions for enforcement or even monitoring. Muslims might fight less on the holy day, but a general ceasefire still looks unlikely.   Gaza-Israel: Israeli new services reported that the Palestinian Salah al-Din Brigades, the military arm of the Palestinian Popular Resistance Committees, has combined its operations with Hamas' Izz al-Deen al-Qassam Brigades and Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades to plan a joint response to any Israeli attack.   Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu warned that if the escalation in rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip continues, Israel is prepared to take stronger military action in response. The increase in hostilities between Israel and groups in the Gaza Strip, he said, is part of the larger regional instability that has risen in the aftermath of the Arab Spring.      Comment: The timing of the united front arrangement by the three main militias in the Gaza Strip appears aimed at supporting Iranian interests in the region, creating a diversion against Israel with which the international community must cope. The announcement suggests that the Palestinian militias want the Saudis and Qataris to know that Sheikh al-Thani's visit and aid will not alter their visceral hostility to Israel. Gaza is now a hot spot.   End of NightWatch for 24 October.      NightWatch is brought to you by Kforce Government Solutions, Inc.

URGENT MESSAGE  From Mike Evans the founder of the Jerusalem Prayer Team Dear Marshall, At least five Israeli civilians were injured and schools were closed yesterday across southern Israel as a barrage of rocket and mortar attacks were launched from Gaza.  Various terrorist groups, including the Hamas Al-Qassam brigades, claimed responsibility for the attacks.  This is just the latest upsurge in what has already been an extremely high level of terrorist activity this year. My sources in Israel believe that Iran is encouraging Hamas and Hezbollah to be more active against Israel as part of their effort to tie down Israeli forces and harass the Jewish people constantly.  It is a tragedy that the world is standing by and doing nothing while this terrorist assault continues to escalate. I have stood in the tiny Jewish towns where some of the very poorest people in Israel live; they live there because they can't afford anything else.  I have comforted weeping families by the bedsides of their children injured in such attacks and assured them of your love and compassion.  We must stand with and for the people of Israel right now.  They urgently need our prayers...and our help. Jerusalem is Ground Zero for spiritual warfare in our world today. It is the target of the enemy, and it is vital that you and I do our part to not only pray for the peace of Jerusalem, but to speak out in support of Israel's right to her capital city. One of the most important tools for us to fight and win this battle will be the Jerusalem World Center. This wonderful facility in the Holy City will be a lasting witness of God's love to the Jewish people and a center of ministry and outreach to them that will truly be life changing.  We have made every payment on the building so far--all praise and glory to God--but we must make another payment of $777,777 this month. Will you be part of this great miracle with your generous gift today to make the Jerusalem World Center a reality?  We have 7 days left for this miracle.  A dear friend and lover of Israel has agreed to match your gifts in October. In other words, if you give $77,777.77, it will be doubled to $155,555.54. Or if you give $777.77, it will be doubled to $1,555.54. If you give $77.77, it will be doubled to $155.54. This is a huge answer to prayer! Please know that whatever you can give will also be doubled in Heaven in your Kingdom account. Thus far 1,390 people have given $163,400. Those gifts will be matched 100% so now we have $326,800. We still need to raise $225,488.50 which will be matched to make $450,977. Please pray with me right now for supernatural favor that this need will be met. DONATE NOW: https://secure.etransfer.com/JPT/CalendarShawlJWCPrem.cfm?dn=1032&commID=340785486&ID=593745 This will be the first Christian witness of God's love of its kind to the Jewish people in the nation of Israel. There are over 300 Jewish museums but not one museum where people can go to hear the story of Christian love.  The Jerusalem World Center will also be a place where hurting elderly Holocaust survivors and impoverished Jews can go to receive help. It will be the home of the Jerusalem Prayer Team intercessory movement.  This is the largest Christian work within walking distance of the Western Wall. Please be part of this miracle today. When you send your gift of any amount to help us with this need, we will send you the 2013 Jerusalem Prayer Team calendar. If you are able to send a gift of $77 or more, we will send you the calendar and a beautiful prayer shawl prepared especially for members of the Jerusalem Prayer Team. The lovely color depiction of the Holy City and the Words of God regarding the one place where He has placed His name forever will be an inspiration and encouragement to you as you pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Perhaps you would be able to make an even more significant contribution. If you are able to give $1,000 or more, we will send you the calendar and the prayer shawl, and your name will be added to the Wall of Righteous Gentiles--a lasting legacy and testimony of your love carved into the stone wall of the Jerusalem World Center. Everyone who enters the building will see your name and give thanks for your generosity and love. God says, "See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me" (Isaiah 49:16). DONATE NOW: https://secure.etransfer.com/JPT/CalendarShawlJWCPrem.cfm?dn=1032&commID=340785486&ID=593745 Today I'm asking you to stand up and be counted--to join the line of heroes down through the centuries who have done their part to deliver the Jewish people from destruction. I am asking you to make a generous, even sacrificial gift to help make the Jerusalem World Center a reality and help the Jerusalem Prayer Team to do all we can to defend the Jewish state and the Jewish people around the world.

Black Mold Meningitis Challenge

It sounds like the CDC has another bio-weapon on the market; another designer disease which they control and apparently now have a 'cure' for.  Hmmm....A disease that is supposedly common, found only infecting those which get a certain steroid shot, killing certain of those people.  I smell a lie.

Fw: When I read his story, I knew you needed to hear it, too

A SPECIAL MESSAGE  From Mike Evans the founder of the Jerusalem Prayer Team Dear Marshall, At a crucial turning point in America's history, the courage and generosity of one man--a Jewish man--changed the course of history and ensured the success of the Revolutionary War...and yet it's a story that has almost totally been forgotten.  His name was Haym Solomon, and when I read his story, I knew you needed to hear it, too. Born to a European Jewish family, Solomon came to America around 1772, just three years before the Revolutionary War began.  He established a successful brokerage business in New York, enjoying for the first time in his life freedom from persecution because of his race and ancestry. When the war began, even though most of his clients were loyal to the British crown and it meant he might lose his business, Haym Solomon loved his adopted homeland and dedicated his resources to helping the Revolution succeed.  He joined the Sons of Liberty and became an active part of the fight for independence.  But Solomon's greatest contribution was in the area of finance.  He was single-handedly responsible for much of the financing of the American cause. Though there were only about 2,000 Jewish people living in America at the time, Solomon organized them and encouraged them to join him in supporting the fledging  nation.  He literally gave everything he had to see the dream of the United States become a reality.  Seventy-five times Congress and the leaders of the new nation appealed for his help--and he answered the call. The most dramatic appeal came on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur.  As Solomon was in the synagogue, a harried government official knocked on the door and interrupted the service.  George Washington's army had the opportunity to win a great victory over the British army of General Cornwallis but lacked the funds to move into battle. Despite the solemnity of the holy day, Solomon appealed to the congregation for help in recognition of the freedom offered by America to the Jewish people.  Within a few minutes, they had raised $20,000.  This sum allowed Washington to win the decisive battle of Yorktown, which helped bring the war to a successful conclusion.  Solomon died penniless and was buried in an unmarked grave; the government owed him hundreds of thousands of dollars but could not repay the debt.  His sacrifices helped ensure the freedom we enjoy today. Today I am asking you to help pay back that debt by standing with Israel in this moment of crisis just as Haym Solomon stood with America in ours.  Israel is surrounded by enemies and desperately needs our support.  Will you join me in showing your love for God's Chosen People today? DONATE NOW: https://secure.etransfer.com/JPT/CalendarShawlJWCPrem.cfm?dn=1032&commID=340398802&ID=593745 Jerusalem is Ground Zero for spiritual warfare in our world today.

Is Russia About To Attack Israel?

This is an older story, but I thought it might be valid for today.

Is Russia About To Attack Israel?

By:  Marshall Ramsey II, Worthy News US Correspondent

MOSCOW, Russia - (Worthy News)  The Russian Defense Ministry on Friday issued contradictory statements concerning a fleet of its naval warships streaming into the eastern Mediterranean Sea.  The first statement made said the ships were not planning to call on Tartus, a naval base Russia maintains in Syria.

The second statement, issued hours later, said it was possible that service boats from the group might call on Tartus to "replenish supplies if the time period of the trip is extended."  This suggests that the warships were intended to stay in the region from the beginning and possibly be used as a refueling station in case Russia decides to invade a regional country, most likely Israel.

Earlier in the day, Interfax quoted a Russian Defense Ministry source as saying three landing assault ships, an anti-submarine ship, and four smaller ships might call on Tartus by Sunday.  The ships are carrying about 360 marines and amphibious armored personnel carriers.

The source did not specify whether the marines would remain in Tartus or leave with the warships, however that still begs the question why they are there in the first place.  Additionally, the presence of armored personnel carriers, three landing assault ships, an anti-submarine ship and four smaller ships of unknown description should be handled with extreme caution.  To say that Russia is there to stop the violence in Syria would be foolish, due to the fact that Russia, along with China, has repeatedly blocked any attempt to combat Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in any form, and any UN resolutions passed should be seen as a complete farce, since any resolution passed is non-binding, and thus a complete waste of time.

According to Alexander Golts, a defense expert and deputy editor-in-chief with Yezhednevny Zhurnal, an online publication, the purpose of the ships is "to evacuate the personnel and equipment of the base."  This appears unlikely, as Goltz himself has stated, "This group is not sufficient enough to evacuate from 30,000 to 60,000 Russian citizens working and living in Syria unless the marines will be ordered to gain control of a landing strip at Damascus airport and help establish an air-bridge to take all the Russians out."  He did say that the Kremlin wants to have a military presence in Syria, although he attributed it to the "rapidly deteriorating situation," a reference to the current state of civil war there.

Boris Dolgov, a senior researcher with the Center for Arabic Studies in Moscow, doubts that the naval group was sent to the Mediterranean to evacuate Russian citizens which include "diplomats, mission employees, and persons working in Syria on contracts."

"Tartus is not a proper navy bast but just a repair port which can't be used for such a large-scale evacuation, said Dolgov, who has been to Syria twice after the conflict began about 17 months ago.  "It's too early to speak about such a serious step as an evacuation."

Fw: Today's Post: Fanatic for Jesus

Today's Post: Fanatic for Jesus Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lie of Contemplative Prayer Posted: 18 Oct 2012 04:32 AM PDT  On Wednesday, October 10 the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams addressed the Synod of Bishops on the New Evangelization. He was invited to the Synod by Pope Benedict XVI. The mystical tradition of contemplative prayer is ancient, and shows up in every major religion in some form. Buddhists are deeply contemplative, disciplined observers of their own minds, dedicated to understanding, accepting and overcoming suffering. Hindu mystics have contemplated the many attributes of God and developed a dynamic system of worship that is often viewed as polytheistic, by westerners and even by Hindus. Sufis, who make up the mystical arm of Islam, have traditions of  mystical prayer expressed in dance and poetry.[1] Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, called for a revival of centuries-old monastic traditions to help people become "properly human." He is suggesting that schoolchildren and people with no religious background should be encouraged to try meditation as a way to help them understand Christianity. Reported in the UK's newspaper, The Telegraph, the Archbishop believes that it will better help the modern world deal with "chaotic" emotions as a result of living in an "insane" consumerist society driven by advertising and the banking system. The statement coincides with the marking of the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council, which reformed key aspects of the Catholic Church. It also marks the start of the "Year of Faith," an attempt by the Catholic Church to re-enthuse worshippers. The practice of the inner life was practiced by Ignatius Loyola, a Jesuit, who eventually formed the Society of Jesus. Based on an article in Lighthouse Trails (not an endorsement), the writings and practices of St. Ignatius Loyola, "cultivate the ability to discern the divine components" within us. This follows the course of thinking that Thomas Merton had – that divinity is already within, and mystical practices help us to realize what is already there. That is why Merton said, It is a glorious destiny to be a member of the human race, … now I realize what we all are … If only they [people] could all see themselves as they really are. I suppose the big problem would be that we would bow down and worship each other…. At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth….This little point … is the pure glory of God in us. It is in everybody. (Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander, pp. 157-158) The practice of indoctrinating children with this philosophy is widespread, and involves the Evangelical Church. Sunday School curriculum has been developed to create encourage these pagan practices in the young. NavPress publishes one of these programs, and likely to be coming to a church near you. It is a great, subtle lie. Don't be taken in by it!

Fw: Questions about Benghazi attack

My name is Marshall Ramsey II from South Carolina.  I have a question about the Benghazi attack and the death of our ambassador Christopher Stephens.  First the facts:        1) We knew about the attack on our embassy 48 hours prior to the actual attack:  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2202979/Benghazi-attack-U-S-consulate-pictured-Libyan-attack-revealed-officials-knew-attack-plans-48-HOURS-before.html        2) Ambassador Stephens repeatedly requested additional security before his death:  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/02/diplomats-asked-repeatedly-for-more-security-before-libya-attack-lawmakers/        3) We had live video feed of the Benghazi attack.  Our government 'watched' Ambassador Stephens die:  http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-10/state-department-followed-benghazi-attack-as-it-happened.html   Why did our government let Mr. Stephens die, and watch it happen?  Please read this on the air.  I think it will be of great service to our country to know the truth. Thanks.

Top Ten – Only in America - By a Canadian

Taken from The Ben Ferguson Show on Facebook: Top Ten – Only in America - By a Canadian  1) Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund-raising event. 2) Only in America could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is black while only 12% of the population is black. 3) Only in America could they have had the two people most responsible for their tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee, BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes. 4) Only in America can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash. 5) Only in America would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege while we discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens. 6) Only in America could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists." 7) Only in America could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote. 8) Only in America could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. Oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike). 9) Only in America could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a trillion dollars more than it has per year for total spending of $7 million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money. 10) Only in America could the most productive people who pay 86% of all income taxes be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.

Fw: Fwd: 1/2 boys - 1/2 men

1/2 Boys - 1/2 Men

1/2 boy 1/2 man
If you read this, you WILL forward it on. You just won ' t be able to stop yourself
The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father ' s, but he has never collected unemployment either.


He's a recent High School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and a 155mm howitzer.
He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark. He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must.
He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional.
He can march until he is told to stop, or stop until he is told to march.
He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity. He is self-sufficient.
He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry.
He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts.
If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low.
He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands.
He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job.


He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay, and still find ironic humor in it all.
He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime.
He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed.


He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to' square-away' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful.
Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years.


He has asked nothing in return, except
Our friendship and understanding.
Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood.
And now we even have women over there in danger, doing their part in this tradition of going to War when our nation calls us to do so.


As you go to bed tonight, remember this shot. . ...
A short lull, a little shade and a picture of loved ones in their helmets.


Prayer wheel for our military.... Please don ' t break it Please send this on after a short prayer.
Prayer Wheel
'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.'
When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our ground troops in Afghanistan , sailors on ships, and airmen in the air, and for those in Iraq , Afghanistan and all foreign countries.
There is nothing attached....
This can be very powerful..


Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, Sailor, Coastguardsman, Marine, or Airman, prayer to Jesus Christ is the very best one.
