Headline: Sweden Announces Aid Package to ‘Palestine’
Headline: Palestine Embassy opens in Sweden
Sweden announced a multi-million-euro aid package for the Palestinian Authority (PA) on Tuesday as PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas made his first visit to Stockholm since 2009. Prime Minister Stefan Loefven stressed that his country’s recognition of “Palestine” back in October, when it became the first major Western European country to do so, came with responsibilities. “According to us Palestine is now a state. Our expectations of Palestine and their leadership will therefore increase,” Loefven told reporters during Abbas’ visit to Stockholm, according to the AFP news agency. “There is no contradiction between keeping good relations with Palestine and keeping good relations with Israel,” Loefven added. The announcement of Sweden’s recognition of “Palestine” in late October saw withering verbal jabs about IKEA furniture between Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman and Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom, as well as Swedish financial institutions boycotting Israeli companies. Israel also temporarily withdrew its ambassador from Stockholm. Wallstrom at one point announced she was indefinitely postponing a planned trip to Israel, and on Thursday, Israel said that Wallstrom was not welcome for an official visit in the country.

Headline: EU states said to be planning fresh sanctions against Israel
European Union member states are planning new sanctions against Israel that will be implemented if peace negotiations with Palestinians do not resume following the March elections, it was reported Tuesday. The proposed plan would include “sanctions against companies that conduct business over the Green Line, support in the legal proceedings of Palestinians in the issue of settlements and also renewing the proposal to create a Palestinian state through the Security Council,” according to an Israeli official who met recently with European leaders in Brussels, the Hebrew-language Walla website reported. Israeli officials in several European capitals said the proposals have buy-in from all countries in the EU, according to the report. The EU has threatened sanctions against Israel for several years in an effort to prod forward the peace process with the Palestinians and discourage settlement expansion. According to one of the Israeli officials briefed by European leaders, the process of imposing sanctions was delayed by elections, but will likely be picked up should peace efforts not restart after Israelis go to the polls on March 17.

Headline: Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah: No Longer Separation of Battle Fronts in Confrontation with Israel
The large-scale offensive the Syrian army launched in southern Syria Sunday, Feb. 8 – the broadest in that region in the nearly-four year conflict – heralded Act III of the Iranian-Hizballah drive for a position on Israel’s Golan border, debkafile’s military sources report. Israel curtailed Act I on Jan 18 with an air strike which killed a dozen Iranian and Hizballah officers scooping out the Golan town of Quneitra for their new base. Among them were the commander of Iranian forces in Syria, Revolutionary Guards general Mohamad Ali Allah Dadi and a senior Hizballah officer Ali al-Tabtabani. This cut short a move to seize a forward position in the northern Golan and adjacent Hermon. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon then reiterated that Israel would not permit Iran and Hizballah to create a military enclave there for their forces to jump-start terrorist strikes and rocket attacks against Israel. Act II came ten days later with the Hizballah attack, aided by Iranian tactical intelligence, on an Israeli command patrol, in which killing Major Yochai Klingel and St. Sgt. Dror Nini were killed. Although nothing happened for twelve days – some Hizballah sources even suggested the account was closed – all the parties were braced for the next round in the struggle playing out for the Golan. On Jan. 30, Hizballah leader, Hassan Nasrallah stood up in Beirut for a furious speech to dictate terms: If Israel persisted in its refusal to live with an Iranian-Hizballah presence on the Golan, there would be war,he shouted. On Feb. 2, the influential Iranian lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi, chairman of the majlis foreign affairs and security committee, declared that the account with Israel over the Quneitra attack was still open and more “operations” were coming. And they did on Feb. 8 from an unexpected direction – the south. Elements of the Syrian army’s Ninth Division and 121st Brigade armed with 50 T-72 tanks led a sweeping Iranian-Hizballah offensive dubbed “Operation Ali Allah Dadi for Quneitra Martyrs.” With them were 4,000 Shiite fighters imported by Iran for the battle and several hundred Hizballah gunmen – all under the command of Iranian Revolutionary Guards officers.

Headline: Saudi Arabia has ‘no problem’ with Muslim Brotherhood: Foreign Minister
Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister has said publicly that Riyadh has “no problem with the Muslim Brotherhood,” in the wake of the accession of a new Saudi king expected to be more tolerant towards the group than his predecessor. Saud bin Faisal made the comments during a two-hour interview with veteran Saudi journalist Samar al-Mogren, who was personally requested to interview Faisal. “We do not have a problem with the Muslim Brotherhood; our problem is with a small group affiliated to this organisation,” said the world’s longest-serving Foreign Minister, who is recovering in the US after successful spinal surgery last month. In her write-up of the interview, titled “Two Hours with Saud bin Faisal,” Mogren praised the minister’s “tolerance” towards a group she said was behind “the ongoing suffering we are experiencing”. Faisal’s comments came as a surprise to many, in a country where the Muslim Brotherhood was designated a “terrorist organisation” last March alongside groups including Islamic State.

Headline: Egypt claims killing of Hamas ‘militant’ in North Sinai
Suspected militants set off five bombs in Egypt’s second city Alexandria on Tuesday and air raids afterwards in the Sinai Peninsula killed 15 suspected extremists, official sources said.
It was not clear if the air raids in Sinai, where militants have killed hundreds of soldiers and police in attacks since 2013, were in retaliation for the Alexandria blasts. Military officials could not be immediately reached for comment. Three blasts near police stations in eastern Alexandria wounded 10 people, while two other bombs went off in the area without casualties, said Maj. Gen. Amin Ezz Al-Din, an assistant interior minister for Alexandria. Later on Tuesday, 15 suspected militants were killed and eight others wounded in air raids in the Sinai town of Sheikh Zuweid, security sources said. Security sources also said a two-year-old boy was in critical condition after being wounded in clashes between militants and the army south of the border town of Rafah near the Gaza Strip.

Syrian regime forces hit Douma with heavy bombing, using suspected barrel bombs, from Monday night to Tuesday, killing at least 18 people in the capital of rebel-held Eastern Ghouta province. But the bombing was just the latest blow in the brutal campaign the regime has been carrying out in the Damascus countryside for the past week, human rights activists said. Roughly 178 civilians were killed in the province from Feb. 5-9, the day before the suspected barrel bomb attack in Douma. In one attack on Thursday, regime forces hit a busy market in Kafr Batna city, killing 39 civilians. The next day, the regime launched more than 60 rockets at a residential neighborhood in Douma, killing 28 civilians, according to a report from the Syrian Network for Human Rights.

Three suicide bombers belonging to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), including a Frenchman, have detonated explosives-laden trucks in coordinated attacks on Iraqi troops and Shiite militia, destroying their targets, the militant group said Wednesday. The attacks were carried out near Camp Speicher, 160 kilometers (100 miles) north of Baghdad in Salaheddin province, said claims on Twitter, seen by SITE Intelligence Group. ISIS said a “gathering of the Safavid [Iraqi] army and its Rafidhi [Shiite] militias,” a barracks and a headquarters, all on the road connecting “Speicher Base/Fourth Division” were hit with a truck carrying six tons of explosives.

The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) announced it had opened its own bank in the city of Mosul for giving loans and redeeming mutilated (damaged) currency, in a move that raised concerns about financing the terrorist organization’s businesses. ‘Russia Today’ website wrote, “ISIS opened a private bank to give loans and redeem mutilated currency,” adding that, “This might be an ISIS scheme to control the funds in areas under its grip.” The website added, “ISIS’ geographic expansion enables it to economically expand wide enough to open its privately-owned “Islamic bank” in Mosul; its purpose is to give out loans and to replace mutilated currency.” “This step raises concerns because the bank will be used in financing the organization’s business,” it stated, pointing out that, “According to press reports, the bank is witnessing high demand in areas under ISIS control, that’s due to poverty among citizens who are being exploited by the terrorist group offering them loans for nothing in return.” It also said, “While Iraqi economic medium is discussing the repercussions of establishing this bank, there are concerns about large amounts of Iraqi currency accumulating in ISIS’ hands, especially with four billion dinars received by citizens from the Iraqi government as monthly salaries in areas under the group’s control.”

President Barack Obama sent the U.S. Congress legislation Wednesday to authorize military force against Islamic State fighters, summoning lawmakers to “show the world we are united in our resolve” to defeat militants who have overrun parts of the Middle East and threaten attacks on the United States. In urging Congress to back military force, the president ruled out “enduring offensive combat operations,” a deliberately ambiguous phrase designed to satisfy lawmakers with widely different views on any role for U.S. ground troops. Majority Republicans in Congress responded warily to the request. The leader of House of Representatives, Speaker John Boehner, expressed doubt it would “give our military commanders the flexibility and authorities they need to succeed and protect our people.” He said changes were likely before the measure comes to a vote.

Headline: Businesses in Spain funding Islamic State, al-Nusra Front
About 250 businesses in Spain have transferred money through a network system to the Islamic State and al-Nusra Front, an al-Qaida affiliate. Grocery stores, phone call centers and butcher shops used a network system called hawala, an alternative to Western banking practices originally developed in India. About 150,000 people manage their savings through hawala without any legal oversight, according to El País. Hundreds of young Spanish residents, mostly Moroccan, have joined the Islamic State, but an exact number is not known. Terrorist organizations often use hawala for finance, according to officials. Trust, family relationships and regional affiliations are used in the sort of “underground banking” system where hawaladars, or hawala dealers, transfer money “without money movement,” making it difficult to trace. Any documents that evidence the accounting are often destroyed. There are about 300 hawaladars in Spain, mostly Pakistani, who are often used to pay the salaries of Spanish jihadists in Syria. The militants earn about $800 if single and $1,200 if married, according to police. The U.S. embassy in Spain told Washington in 2004 that Spain was an important financing center for jihadists in Afghanitsan and Iraq.

The US Air Force dispatched a dozen A-10 Thunderbolt II attack jets and about 300 airmen to Germany as part of a military exercise, which is expected to involve NATO allies in Eastern Europe amid simmering tensions over Ukraine. The Cold War-era aircraft, nicknamed the Warthog, on Monday departed Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona for Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve. Lt. Col. Christopher Karns, a spokesman for the Air Force at the Pentagon, said the aircraft would “forward-deploy” to sites in Eastern European NATO states, where the units will participate in training with allied forces to “strengthen interoperability and…demonstrate US commitment to the security and stability of Europe,” he told military.com. The highly reliable A-10 carries a seven-barrel GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling gun that fires 30mm rounds designed to destroy tanks and other armored combat vehicles.

Headline: Iran Marks Islamic Revolution Anniversary Amid Nuclear Talks
Iran marked the anniversary of its 1979 Islamic Revolution on Wednesday with massive rallies, with many chanting against the U.S. and Israel as the country tries to reach a permanent deal with world powers over its contested nuclear program. State television aired footage of commemorations in Tehran and elsewhere across the country. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, addressing a crowd of thousands in Tehran, pledged to “spare no effort” to protect the Islamic Republic’s rights as it negotiates. “The sanctions have not forced Iran to enter the talks but the impracticality of the all-out pressures on Iran and the significant advancements in Iran’s peaceful nuclear program made the United States come to the negotiation table,” Rouhani said. “Iran is seeking a ‘win-win’ outcome in the nuclear talks with world powers.” Tayyebeh Ahmadi, a woman who attended the rally, said the nuclear talks likely inspired Iranians to take part in commemorations. “This year, we have turned out bigger than before because of the ongoing nuclear talks to make America understand that it cannot achieve its goals in these talks,” Ahmadi said.

Headline: Fighting erupts in two South Sudan states days after latest truce
Rebels in South Sudan stormed towns in two states on Tuesday and were repulsed, the army said, barely a week after signing another ceasefire deal with the government that was meant to end 15 months of conflict. Thousands of people have been killed and over a million have fled their homes since fighting erupted in the world’s newest nation in December 2013, triggered by a power struggle between President Salva Kiir and former vice president Riek Machar. A January 2014 ceasefire was broken frequently and peace talks often faltered, frustrating South Sudan’s Western backers. Philip Aguer, spokesman for South Sudan’s army, the SPLA, said Tuesday’s attacks had occurred in Bentiu, capital of oil-producing Unity state, and in Upper Nile State, both in the north of the country. “A ground attack was launched by the rebels in Upper Nile today on SPLA positions in Obudo County using a big force supported by heavy machine guns,” Aguer told Reuters. “Another area of violation by the rebels was in Unity state. The rebels shelled SPLA force positions in Bentiu north of the town this morning.”

Headline: Isis ‘could be close to reaching Mediterranean’, former Libyan prime minister claims
Isis could reach the Mediterranean if order is not restored in Libya, the country’s former prime minister has reportedly suggested. Ali Zeidan warned Libya’s fractured government and its access to weapons and ammunition seized during the fall of Colonel Gaddafi has made it more susceptible to the activities of jihadists, according to The Times. Speaking during a visit to London last week, he expressed concerns Isis would try to take over territories in Libya as unrest in the country continues. “They are growing. They are everywhere,” he added. Mr Zeidan also reportedly suggested Isis had a growing presence in some of the bigger cities and was trying to recruit fighters from rival Islamist groups. The Times reports that he “appeared to express concerns” Isis might be close to extending its reach to the Mediterranean. He spoke after Aref Ali Nayed, Libya’s ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, said Isis’s presence in Libya is increasing “exponentially”. Mr Zeidan urged the international community to take this seriously. “In Libya, the situation is still under control,” he said. “If we leave it one month or two months more I don’t think you can control it. It will be a big war in the country and it will be here in Europe as well.”

Headline: Tunisia faces new unrest on Libya border
Residents of Tunisia’s two main border crossings with Libya staged a general strike Tuesday to protest what they say is excessive force by police during clashes over the weekend that left one person dead. The unrest in Ben Guerdane, near the northern Mediterranean crossing, and Tatouine, near the southern desert Duheiba crossing, is influenced in part by the ongoing civil war in Libya. The disturbances are the first major challenge of Tunisia’s new government, and underline the economic and political obstacles to stability and prosperity. Demonstrations began Sunday in the two towns to protest a new border tax on foreigners that disrupted trade, especially the smuggling and informal economy that makes up more than 50 percent of the business in these impoverished regions. Police dispersed the demonstrators and in Duheiba opened fire when protesters attacked a police station, killing one resident and wounding another. Demonstrations have continued, this time over the police response and hundreds marched near the two crossings calling for “freedom, jobs and dignity” – the same slogans used by Tunisians four years earlier when they overthrew their president and kicked off pro-democracy uprisings around the region.

The anonymous source told Anadolu on Monday that the request was made by America and France. Two squadrons were requested to take part in the campaign in Syria and Iraq,” he said. Apparently the “difficulties” revolve around the fact that most of the aircraft involved are from the West, while Algeria’s jets are Russian-built. “In addition, our air force is not used to participating in extra-regional campaigns as they make the task logistically impossible.” The source also explained that there is a well-established doctrine of the Algerian military that prevents it from working under foreign military leadership and participating in military operations beyond the borders of the country. The Algerian government did not make any official statement regarding the alleged request to participate in the war against ISIS.

Alexis Tsipras said late Tuesday that Greece is seeking a new deal with its bailout creditors that would not condemn Greeks battered by five bitter years of income cuts, tax hikes and record job losses “to a lifetime of misery.” Tsipras spoke just before a vote of confidence, which his two week-old government easily won by 162-137 votes. Tsipras’ radical left Syriza party was backed by lawmakers from its unlikely coalition partner — a small populist right-wing party that says Greece could turn to Russia, the U.S. or China for help if talks with creditors fail.Greece’s new prime minister struck a defiant tone on the eve of high-stakes negotiations with skeptical European creditors, saying there is “no way back” for his radical left-led government in its quest to rewrite the barely solvent country’s bailout commitments. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras comfortably won a confidence vote on his plan to cancel a deeply unpopular bailout program and challenge European leaders as both sides prepare for a showdown at meetings in Brussels this week. In a rousing speech to parliament, Tsipras hailed the decisive role “little Greece” was playing in reshaping Europe and promised Athens would not cave in to demands it extend its international bailout “no matter how much” German Finance Minister Wolfang Schaeuble asked for it.

Ricchiuto, Managing Director of Mizuho Securities USA, left anchors Simon Hobbs and Sara Eisen scrambling for words as he reeled off a barrage of factors as to why there is no acceleration in economic activity. The highlights;
“There is no acceleration in underlying economic activity.” “There’s this wrong concept that I keep on hearing about in the financial press about the acceleration in economic growth… It isn’t happening!” “We had a horrible retail sales number, we had a horrible durable goods number, we’re likely to have a very disappointing retail sales number coming forward, this month we have a strong payroll number we say everything’s great – it’s not great….it’s been the same thing for the last five years, there’s no improvement in the economy!” “After a string of dismal data on durable goods, retail spending, and inventories, we get a good jobs number and everyone saying the economy’s good – it’s not good!” “And we can keep on going,” Ricchiuto responded when Hobbs interrupted him. According to Zero Hedge, the clip was also edited to remove host Eisen’s glib response to Ricchiuto’s sobering reality check on the real economic figures.

Wars & Rumors of Wars Matthew 24:6 , Revelation 6:3-4 & Revelation 6:8 “ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Revelation 6:3-4 speaks of the fiery red horse given power to make men slay one another and Revelation 6:8 speaks again of this red horse in conjunction with the pale horse of Death and Hades, as the one that has the power to kill by sword. Prophecy Sign: Weapons of Mass Destruction Zechariah 14:12 “And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.”
Headline: N. Korea warns South of ‘most miserable end’
North Korea stepped up its rhetoric against the South Wednesday, warning that its neighbour would face a “most miserable end” if it joined the US in “a war of aggression” against Pyongyang. The threat follows a series of North Korean missile tests, reflecting escalating military tensions on the divided peninsula ahead of large-scale US-South Korea military drills next month. “The South Korean authorities will not be able to escape the most miserable end if they persistently join the US moves for a war of aggression,” the North’s Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said in a statement published through state media. “If the South Korean warmongers offer cannon fodder for a US war of aggression against the DPRK (North Korea), South Korea will also be the target of our retaliatory strikes,” it said. The North also has access to “precision and diversified nuclear strike means” designed to target the US in the event of a war, the statement claimed. On Sunday the North test-fired five short-range missiles into the sea, the day after it had trumpeted the test of a new “ultra-precision” anti-ship cruise missile under the watchful eye of leader Kim Jong-Un.

Headline: China threatens to arm Hawaii separatists who want kingdom
China has suggested arming Hawaii’s independence activists in retaliation for U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and recently threatened to challenge American sovereignty by making legal claims to the Pacific islands as its territory. Chinese threats to back several groups of Hawaiian independence activists who want to restore the islands’ constitutional monarchy, ousted in a U.S.-backed coup more than a century ago, have raised concerns that military facilities on the strategic central Pacific archipelago are threatened at a time when the Obama administration is engaged in a major shift toward Asia as part of its military and diplomatic rebalance. Michael Pillsbury, a Pentagon consultant and author of the book “The Hundred-Year Marathon,” said Chinese military hawks, known as “ying pai,” told him they are ready to provide arms to Hawaiian independence activists in retaliation for U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. “Beijing’s extraordinary sensitivity to American arms sales to Taiwan — even one bullet or a spare tire for a jeep — often provokes angry words,” said Mr. Pillsbury, who has held talks with 35 Chinese generals in recent years. Another indicator of Chinese interest in fomenting unrest in Hawaii surfaced in 2012 when Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton revealed that Beijing threatened to assert legal, territorial claims over Hawaii.

Pestilence & Plagues Luke 21:11 & Revelation 6:8 “And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.” (Luke) “So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death (Thanatos in Greek meaning the death of the body whether natural or violent), and by the beasts of the earth” (Revelation)
Headline: Filipino nurse from Saudi Arabia tests positive for MERS virus
A Filipino nurse, who arrived last week from Saudi Arabia, has tested positive for the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), the first case of the deadly virus in the Philippines, the health ministry said. The World Health Organization is worried about the spread of MERS, a respiratory disease known to have infected at least 965 people, of whom some 357 have died, overwhelmingly in Saudi Arabia. First reported in 2012 in Saudi Arabia, about 30 percent of people confirmed to have caught the viral respiratory illness MERS-CoV have died. Nine countries in the Middle East have had confirmed cases while 13 other states, now including the Philippines, have had travel-associated cases, or cases that they have diagnosed but which originated overseas.

Headline: SUPER SOLAR FILAMENT
It is, arguably, the second biggest thing in the solar system. A filament of magnetism almost 1,000,000 km long is stretching across the face of the sun. Only the sun itself is bigger. This is a solar filament, a tendril of plasma held suspended above the surface of the sun by magnetic forces. Filaments appear on the sun all the time, but this one is unusually large, 5 to 10 times longer than ordinary filaments. If it becomes unstable and erupts, it could hurl parts of itself into space. Pieces of the filament falling back to the solar surface would explode upon impact, sparking a Hyder flare.
