Mark's Views, Perhaps — from behind my eyeballs
I was speed-scanning headlines over at The Drudge Report, hardly paying attention.
Suddenly my brain caught up to my eyeballs and they skidded to a halt.
Did I just read that?
I backed up…and sure enough: Read it all
With a hat tip to Joel C. Rosenberg . . .
Vladimir Putin, the Czar of Russia, has offered to put Russian troops on the Golan Heights — the mountain range controlled by Israel but claimed by Syria — to serve as U.N. peacekeepers between Syria and Israel, now that the government of Austria has decided withdraw its participation in the peacekeeping force.Putin and Netanyahu.
Putin has spoken directly by phone to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the offer, and presumably would not have made it without first discussing the idea with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
If both sides agree, this would put armed Russian soldiers on the northern mountains of Israel for the first time in the modern history of the State of Israel.
The move might also have prophetic significance.
BREAKING: Putin offers to put Russian troops on the Golan Heights
Does Israel need armed Russian troops looking down on them from the Golan?
Would a “UN” Russian beachhead like that be a good deal for Israel?
I answer both negatively.
As Mark Roth said, he who dances with a bear gets eaten. 😯 Or was it, only dunces dance with bears? Both.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
And for ours, as we rush headlong to Armageddon.
PS: In case you didn’t know, Joel C. Rosenberg has written some pretty interesting books, including the recently released Damascus Countdown.
Who cares what some “third world” leader (and a likely “puppet” at that) has to say?
A lot of people have that attitude.
But this is the man “at the helm” of a nuke-bent radical state.
So I offer you some excerpts from Joel C. Rosenberg’s (books)
Ladies and gentlemen, today’s blunt speech to the United Nations by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
I have no illusion that it made or will make a difference.
May God keep the Jews, Abraham’s children of the promise.
And may He also bless the Arabs, Abraham’s children of the flesh.*
May He bless us all, Jew and Gentile alike.
Personally.
Undeserving though we all are.
And may we each find peace and hope in that son of Abraham, Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.
Amen.
* “Arabs are Abraham’s children of the flesh” — is that a true statement?
Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, invoked the ancient jaguar goddess Ixchel in her opening statement to delegates gathered in Cancun, Mexico, noting that Ixchel was not only goddess of the moon, but also “the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving. May she inspire you — because today, you are gathered in Cancun to weave together the elements of a solid response to climate change, using both reason and creativity as your tools.”
[…]
“Excellencies, the goddess Ixchel would probably tell you that a tapestry is the result of the skilful interlacing of many threads,” said Figueres, who hails from Costa Rica and started her greetings in Spanish before switching to English. “I am convinced that 20 years from now, we will admire the policy tapestry that you have woven together and think back fondly to Cancun and the inspiration of Ixchel.”
Maybe you should bone up a little more on Ixchel as well as Hero for the Planet, Christiana Figueres.
Beyond that, I have no comment, so don’t ask. 🙄
United Nations Population Fund Leader Says Family Breakdown is a Triumph for Human Rights
| A leader in the United Nations Population Fund UNFPA has declared that the breakdown of traditional families, far from being a “crisis,’ is actually a triumph for human rights.
Speaking at a colloquium held last month at Colegio Mexico in Mexico City, UNFPA representative Arie Hoekman denounced the idea that high rates of divorce and out-of-wedlock births represent a social crisis, claiming that they represent instead the triumph of “human rights” against “patriarchy.” “In the eyes of conservative forces, these changes mean that the family is in crisis,” he said. “In crisis? More than a crisis, we are in the presence of a weakening of the patriarchal structure, as a result of the disappearance of the economic base that sustains it and because of the rise of new values centered in the recognition of fundamental human rights.” “Day after day, Mexico experiences a process of this diversity and there are those who understand it as a crisis, because they only recognize one type of family,” one of the speakers on the panel also told the audience. |
This must be one of those stories buried by the regular press.
Maybe they just missed it.

Here’s a bedtime story for you:
| Iran holds enough uranium for bomb
Iran has built up a stockpile of enough enriched uranium for one nuclear bomb, United Nations officials acknowledged on Thursday. In a development that comes as the Obama administration is drawing up its policy on negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear programme, UN officials said Iran had produced more nuclear material than previously thought. |
One nuke, eh?
If the UN was wrong before, is it still wrong?
And more importantly, what’s Israel going to do about it?
(And what do you propose to do about it?)
