Headline: UN Secretary-General weighs lumping Israel in with ISIS and Al Qaeda
This week Senators Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz have posed a challenge for would-be presidents and all Americans: if the United Nations criminalizes Israel’s exercise of the right of self-defense it will pay a heavy price. The organization has no right to expect billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to be doled out every year when they are spent undercutting our deepest values and our national security. Graham and Cruz’s comments come after learning that UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is now weighing whether to sign off on a report emanating from an Algerian U.N. “human rights expert” that analogizes Israel to ISIS, Boko Haram and Al Qaeda. Leila Zerrougui’s rights expertise includes eight years (2000-2008) as legal advisor to Algeria’s President-for-life Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Moreover, in the coming weeks, the U.N. will issue another report on Israel’s “criminal” response to Hamas genocidaires in Gaza, commissioned by UN Human Rights Council authorities like Russia, China and Saudi Arabia. These attacks on Israel are part of a concerted effort by the vast U.N. machinery to rewrite international law to the advantage of terrorists who use civilians as human shields – thereby encouraging the use of more civilians as human shields. What begins as the demonization of Israel, affects every democratic society forced to defend itself against Hamas or Hezbollah or ISIS or Boko Haram or al-Qaeda.

Headline: Senior IDF Officer Warns of ‘Approaching Storm’
Israeli aircraft attacked a terrorist infrastructure in northern Gaza overnight Saturday, in retaliation for a rocket attack on Ashkelon several hours earlier, the IDF Spokesperson said in a statement. In addition, following several rocket attacks in recent days, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon has decided to close the Erez and Kerem Shalom border crossings between Gaza and Israel, the statement said. The crossings will only be opened in humanitarian cases, and the decision on the opening of the crossings will be made on the basis of a security assessment and in accordance with security considerations. “The Hamas terrorist organization is responsible” for the continuous rocket attacks on southern Israel, said the IDF statement.

Headline: Netanyahu Blasts World’s Silence on New Gaza Rocket Attacks on Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sharply criticized the international community for what he called “silence” in response to multiple Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel during the past two weeks. “I have not heard anyone in the international community condemn this firing; neither has [the] U.N. said a word,” Netanyahu said during his weekly cabinet meeting Sunday. “It will be interesting if this silence continues when we use our full strength to uphold our right to defend ourselves.” Israeli officials often point to what they believe to be a double standard when it comes to Israel in the media, at the United Nations, and among its allies who loudly excoriate Israel in the event of Palestinian civilian casualties while appearing to gloss over Hamas violations. “Let it be clear: The spreading hypocrisy in the world will not tie our hands and prevent us from protecting Israel’s citizens. Thus we have acted; thus we will act,” Netanyahu said. The Times of Israel noted that following a Palestinian rocket attack last week, a spokesman for U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called on “all parties to avoid further escalation and prevent incidents that jeopardize the lives of Israeli and Palestinian civilians.”

Headline: Report: Salafists Trying to Get IAF to Oust Hamas For Them
Headline: ISIS purloined rockets from Hamas production lines to attack Israel. Netanyahu marks out wide sterile zone
Salafist groups in Gaza are intentionally provoking Israel in order to have the Israeli Air Force (IAF) finish off Hamas for them, a senior defense official theorized Sunday. “The purpose of the latest rocket fire from Gaza is to light a fire between Hamas and Israel,” the defense official stated to Walla! News on condition of anonymity. “They expect Israel to attack Hamas for them.” He spoke hours after the IAF eliminated terror targets, following a rocket strike just outside Ashkelon for which a Salafist organization later took responsibility. “The situation is quite complicated – on the one hand we want Hamas weakened – but, on the other hand, we it to be strong enough to prevent terror attacks [from other groups – ed.] such as rocket fire into Israel,” stressed the official. “Gaza may be cut off geographically from the rest of the events in the Middle East, but it is not ideologically detached,” he added. The ideas behind Islamic State (ISIS) are gaining popularity in Gaza, he added, under the influence of Sinai branch Ansar Beyt Al-Maqdis.

Headline: China demands workers sent to Israel not be placed in West Bank settlements
Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon’s plan to bring Chinese construction workers to Israel in order to accelerate the pace of residential building in Israel has hit a diplomatic snag, in the form of Beijing’s demand that the workers not be employed in West Bank Jewish settlements, purportedly out of concern for their safety. China’s demand is holding up the implementation of a cabinet resolution from about a year ago that provided for a boost in the number of foreign construction workers, initially to 8,000 and later to 15,000, as part of a plan to increase the housing supply and in consequence to decrease home prices. Even the 8,000 figure has not been reached, rendering the program meaningless in effect for now. The Chinese and Israeli governments have negotiated over the employment of Chinese workers in Israel for a number of years. The agreement would replace the current arrangement, in which private companies contract directly with Chinese firms that supply the labor, an arrangement that has resulted in allegations of serious violations of labor laws.

Headline: Supreme Court strikes down ‘born in Jerusalem’ passport law
The Supreme Court struck down a disputed law Monday that would have allowed Americans born in Jerusalem to list their birthplace as Israel on their U.S. passports in an important ruling that underscores the president’s authority in foreign affairs. The court ruled 6-3 that Congress overstepped its bounds when it approved the law in 2002. It would have forced the State Department to alter its long-standing policy of not listing Israel as the birthplace for Jerusalem-born Americans and listing only “Jerusalem.” The policy is part of the government’s refusal to recognize any nation’s sovereignty over Jerusalem, until Israelis and Palestinians resolve its status through negotiations. Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his majority opinion that the president has the exclusive power to recognize foreign nations, and that the power to determine what a passport says is part of this power.

Headline: 3 Hezbollah fighters killed as group advances near Arsal’s outskirts
Hezbollah’s death toll in the battle against jihadis on Lebanon’s eastern borders has risen to at least 29, with three fighters dying Friday as the group advanced further into Arsal’s outskirts. Meanwhile, Hezbollah and the Syrian army made new advancements in Syrian territory east of the area, capturing a new hilltop. According to The Daily Star’s security sources, three Hezbollah fighters were killed during the battles Friday against Nusra Front militants in the southern part of Arsal’s outskirts. The group has lost at least 29 fighters since it launched a military offensive alongside the Syrian army against jihadis in the Qalamoun hills. On Saturday, Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV announced that the group’s fighters and Syrian army soldiers captured the hill of Sadr al-Bustan, thus taking control of the outskirts of Flita, a Syrian village east of Arsal. The battles in the village had been going on for weeks between Hezbollah and its Syrian army allies and the Nusra Front.

Headline: Nuclear Saudis? ‘All options on the table’ over Iran deal, Riyadh’s ambassador to UK warns
Saudi Arabia is ready to acquire nuclear weapons if diplomatic talks aimed at halting Iran’s nuclear ambitions break down, the Saudi ambassador to the UK has said. Prince Mohammed bin Nawwaf bin Abdulaziz al-Saud said the oil-rich Gulf kingdom hoped negotiations being led by US President Barack Obama would result in a “watertight” deal with Iran. However if does not happen, then “all options are on the table,” he said. Riyadh accuses Iran of destabilizing the region by funding Houthi rebels in Yemen, the site of a current proxy conflict between the two Middle Eastern powers. Prince Mohammad’s threat came in an interview with The Telegraph published Monday. Negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 – the US, UK, France, China and Russia (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council) and Germany – are due to close at the end of June.

Egyptian security and hospital officials say two militant attacks in the restive northern part of the Sinai Peninsula have killed one soldier and wounded four. In one Monday attack, they say fighters ambushed a military checkpoint near the town of Sheikh Zuweyid, firing several mortar shells that killed one conscript and wounded a soldier. In another attack, they say attackers detonated a bomb by remote control as an armored vehicle passed, wounding four soldiers near the city of Rafah, which borders the Gaza Strip.

Syria Headline: Syrian air raids kill 49 in northwestern village, activists say
Government airstrikes on a northwestern Syrian village Monday killed at least 49 people and destroyed homes, shops and cars, activists said. The Local Coordination Committees said two air raids on the village of Janoudiyeh in Idlib province killed 60 people and wounded others. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the air raid killed 49 people, including six children. It said the death toll could rise as some people are still missing. Conflicting reports often emerge in the chaotic aftermath of such events. The Observatory said the air raid struck a public square in Janoudiyeh, near the town of Jisr al-Shughour, which was captured by insurgents in April. It said the village has become home to many displaced people from nearby areas. A video uploaded onto the Internet by activists showed a chaotic, smoke-filled scene, with people running past damaged cars, and bodies scattered on the street. Women screamed as men hurriedly covered bodies and pulled wounded people from the rubble before an ambulance arrived. “My son was killed!” a man screamed. “We need cars!” another man shouted, as a third, covered in blood, sat on the debris. The video appeared genuine and corresponded to other AP reporting.

Iraq Headline: Iraqi troops reportedly advance against ISIS in key refinery town
Iraqi troops and Shiite militias recaptured key parts of the refinery town of Beiji from ISIS Sunday, a general said. The victory comes a day after Iraqi forces were able to withstand two attacks from ISIS in the hotly contested Anbar province Saturday. The commander of the Interior Ministry’s Quick Reaction Forces, Brig. Gen. Nassir al-Fartousi, told state TV that the Iraqi flag was raised on a local government building in Beiji and that troops were advancing to other areas, without elaborating. The spokesman of Joint Operations Command, Brig. Gen. Saad Maan Ibrahim, said the security forces “are now controlling” the downtown Beiji area, describing the advance as an “important victory.” “The enemy has suffered a defeat and has sustained heavy losses and we hope that the whole city will be cleared within few days,” Maan told The Associated Press in a brief interview, saying “dozens” of IS militants had been killed. Beiji, some 155 miles north of Baghdad, fell to ISIS during its blitz across northern Iraq nearly a year ago

A suicide car bomb ripped through roadside restaurants at the entrance to the town of Baladruz in eastern Iraq, killing at least 15 people, police and provincial officials said Sunday. The attack took place late Saturday at the entrance of Baladruz, which lies about 65 kilometers (40 miles) northeast of Baghdad, and was claimed by ISIS. “It hit a string of restaurants on the eastern side of town… Most of the people there were truck drivers transporting goods between Baghdad and Kurdistan,” a police captain said. The officer said 37 people were also wounded in the explosion. Khidhr Muslim Abed, a member of the Diyala provincial council, confirmed the toll. ISIS claimed the attack in a statement posted on jihadi forums Sunday and said that one of those killed was a member of the counterterrorism unit in Iraq’s police.

Kurdish Headline: Al-Qaeda Leader Predicts Kurdish Uprising in Iran
The leader of Al Qaeda in Syria has predicted a Kurdish uprising in Iran, while renouncing intentions to drag the United States further into conflict in Iraq and Syria. Abu Muhammed al-Joulani gave an interview with Al Jazeera Arabic on June 3 in which he made the announcements. While it had been the strategy of Al Qaeda to drag the US into war in Afghanistan and Iraq last decade, the Nusra Front, Al Qaeda’s Syrian arm has no wishes to do so currently in Iraq and Syria. “That’s not what we are striving to do,” Joulani said. “We will make do with chopping off Iran’s hands and arms in the region. If more than this is necessary, we will transfer the battle.” Joulani claimed that “Iran is sitting on a volcano that is about to erupt” given the situation with its minority ethnicities. “It has eight million Kurds, who have been marginalized, as well as the marginalized Ahwazi Arabs. In Baluchistan, there are [Sunni] tribes, which are divided.” He also asserted that Iran has more than 20 million Sunni Muslims. The Jihadist leader cited recent protests in Ahwaz and Kurdistan, claiming they could spread to other areas. “If there is instability in the areas mentioned, Iran will automatically fall back to its domestic affairs,” he concluded.

Headline: ISIS’s Military Operations during Ramadan: A Forecast for 2015
The purpose of this intelligence forecast is to outline ISW’s assessment of the most likely and most dangerous courses of action for the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) to pursue during Ramadan (June 17, 2015 to July 17, 2015). For the past three years, ISIS has conducted major offensive operations during the Ramadan holy month, accomplishing its major annual campaign objectives.Its predecessor, al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), had historically also elevated violence in Iraq during Ramadan. ISIS is therefore likely preparing a surge of operations to try to achieve important campaign objectives. ISIS can also be expected to commemorate its declaration of a Caliphate on the first full day of Ramadan 2014 by trying to build upon or surpass its declaration of the caliphate last year. ISIS could do so by accomplishing new military objectives, striking religious targets, or announcing a new political milestone. Regardless, ISIS is likely to begin and end Ramadan with attempted spectacular military offensive actions in Iraq and Syria

Turkey faced the prospect of weeks of political turmoil after the ruling AK Party lost its parliamentary majority in weekend polls, dealing a blow to President Tayyip Erdogan’s ambitions to acquire sweeping new powers. Instead of the two-thirds majority he had wanted to change the constitution and create a new presidential republic, the AK Party, while remaining the biggest party, failed even to achieve a simple majority. The outcome augurs weeks of unpredictability as parties vie to form a coalition and possible early elections. The result could also prompt some soul searching in the AKP, Turkey’s dominant political movement for more than a decade, where in recent years religious conservatives, with Erdogan’s support, have gained the ascendancy at the expense of center-right and liberal elements.

South Sudan’s rebels said they had taken control of oilfields in a northern state after fighting government troops, adding their aim was to capture and shut down all the oilfields in the country. A military spokesman meanwhile said the government was in control of the Unity State in the north, but that fighting continued. Forces loyal to President Salva Kiir and rebels allied with former vice president Riek Machar have been fighting for nearly 18 months in the world’s newest state, which seceded from Sudan in 2011. Ceasefires have been agreed but broken. Rebel SPLA-In-Opposition spokesman James Gatdet Dak said in a statement late on Friday that the group’s soldiers had taken control of Unity oilfields. Production in the oilfield stopped after fighting erupted in December 2013. “In response to the government’s ongoing full-scale offensive against our positions, all the oilfields in South Sudan are our targets with the aim to capture and shut down their operations,” he said.

Headline: Four killed, 3 injured in ISIL attack on Libya’s Misrata
Members of the Islamic State (IS) have their sights set on gaining full control of an area known as Libya’s oil crescent, according to residents in the Libyan town which has become IS’s latest conquest. At a meeting with leaders from Harawa, IS militants said they were not interested in the town itself but needed it under their control as part of a planned takeover of the country’s central oil facilities, a senior resident of the town told Middle East Eye. Wary of the strong resistance Harawa had put up against its expansion in the region, IS negotiated an agreement with the tribal elders before entering the town and raising the flag above public buildings on Friday. “In the negotiations IS said that before Ramadan they would enter the oil crescent,” he said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Although locals had previously warned Libya’s rival governing institutions that the militant group was targeting the area for its oil, this was the first time IS had spoken of their plans, he said. IS already has full control over the desert town of Nufaliya, just 50 kilometres from Libya’s largest oil export terminal of Es-Sidra, and controls much of Muammar Qaddafi’s former hometown of Sirte. Now having taken Harawa – strategically positioned between Sirte and Sidra in the centre of Libya’s coastal highway – it has secured a route to the oil crescent.

Months after successfully conquering the Libyan coastal city of Sirte, Algerian authorities say that ISIS has attempted to expand westward to conquer the largely-desert border region between the two countries. On Thursday, the Algerian army raised its alert level to the highest level and has drafted some 50,000 troops to ward off ISIS ahead of an anticipated invasion; authorities cited the Libyan army’s inability to defend its Western borders and Sirte’s downfall. An anonymous source told Turkey’s Andalou News agency that “the Algerian army received strict orders to shoot immediately in the event of any attempt to infiltrate into the Algerian territory.”

The North African wing of al-Qaeda has claimed two attacks on Algerian military and security forces in the east of the country that killed at least five people, the U.S.-based SITE jihadi monitoring service said Sunday. Attacks are rarer in Algeria since the end of its civil war with Islamist militants in the 1990s. But al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) is still active, and another splinter group has pledged allegiance to ISIS. SITE said AQIM claimed responsibility on a social media account for a roadside bomb that killed an Algerian army colonel and wounded two others last week, and an attack that killed four members of a local neighborhood watch brigade. The attacks took place near Batna, 500 km (300 miles) east of Algiers. AQIM’s leadership is still believed to be hiding in mountains east of the capital, in an area dubbed the “Triangle of Death” because of Islamist militant activity during the civil war. Caliphate Soldiers, a faction which split from AQIM to pledge alliance to ISIS, is also active.

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: US Officials Consider Nuclear Strikes against Russia
US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter is meeting today at the headquarters of the US European Command in Stuttgart, Germany with two dozen US military commanders and European diplomats to discuss how to escalate their economic and military campaign against Russia. They will assess the impact of current economic sanctions, as well as NATO’s strategy of exploiting the crisis in eastern Ukraine to deploy ever-greater numbers of troops and military equipment to Eastern Europe, threatening Russia with war. A US defense official told Reuters that the main purpose of the meeting was to “assess and strategize on how the United States and key allies should think about heightened tensions with Russia over the past year.” The official also said Carter was open to providing the Ukrainian regime with lethal weapons, a proposal which had been put forward earlier in the year. Most provocatively, a report published by the Associated Press yesterday reports that the Pentagon has been actively considering the use of nuclear missiles against military targets inside Russia, in response to what it alleges are violations of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty. Russia denies US claims that it has violated the INF by flight-testing ground-launched cruise missiles with a prohibited range.

Apostasy & Godlessness Amos 8:11 , 1 Timothy 4:1 , 2 Timothy 3:1-5 & Matthew 24:12 “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,” (1 Timothy) “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God, “That I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the Lord.” (Amos) “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” (2nd Timothy) “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold” (Matthew)
Headline: Pissing on the Cross is now entertainment: Netflix series Sense8 is an orgy of imagery attacking Christianity
Netflix has just launched an exclusive new series called “Sense8” written by the Wachowskis. As I’m a Netflix subscriber (or at least I was before this), I thought I’d check out the series because I’m a fan of The Matrix, also written by the Wachowskis. (WARNING: GRAPHIC images to follow…) Sense8 is nothing like The Matrix. It’s an in-your-face assault on the senses and an aggressive pushing of suicide violence, emasculated males and anti-Christian symbolism interwoven with LGBT symbols peppered throughout the episode. I don’t often comment on movies and TV programming, but this series seemed so over-the-top that I decided to ask Natural News readers for your opinions on the show. What do YOU think about the images shown here from Sense8? Is this the “new normal” for America? Is it an assault on Christianity? Is this the pushing of an agenda in your face?

June 7, 2015 -American Pharaoh is not found in prophecy/ Don’t be misled!!!!
I don’t know how many time I have read the Bible but, I can assure everyone there no prophecies pointing to any horse winning the triple crown. I can not believe how far astray people are going from the true word of our Lord claiming they are some kind of prophet foretelling us that this past horse race this weekend was a word from God. I received a phone call today from a person who comes to my site often and he wanted to ask me if there was any truth in what people are saying about the triple crown winner. Before I hung up the phone this is what I told the caller. I quote myself, “I didn’t know anything about what you have asked me but, this I can tell you, who ever is saying this race was a fulfillment of prophecy and a warning from God has said because the horses name has American and Pharaoh in it they are using this name in saying it is about President Obama and America! After I got off the phone I checked a few prophecy sites and sure as day that is exactly what these people are saying. What was one of the first things Jesus Christ warning us to look for in Matthew chapter 24? Read verse 4. ” 4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.” If people are proclaiming that prophecy is being fulfilled give me the bible verses which tell us to watch for horse races. There is no prophecy in the entire bible like this. Look at what 2 peter 3: 16-17 says. “ 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;”.
Without a question we have unlearned people trying to make people think they know something that you don’t and what is sad is many people will fall for it. I don’t care who it teaching this false doctrine about this weekends horse race fulfilling prophecy, if it can not be shown to us in the bible then what you have been taught is not the truth. I don’t care how much drama comes across in how they are telling you this, it is false. You want truth, here is some truth. This is what Jesus said, in Matthew 7:15, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
If you want to see for yourself what these people are saying go and do a Google search and type in the following: American Pharoah fulfilling prophecy youtube. If you are wise and are following the directions the Lord Jesus gave us you will ask the question to the people who are teaching this to show you where in the bible are you reading what you are teaching? Bottom line: It is not found in the bible!!!!! Acts 2:17 tells us the following: “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. When you watch these videos you may find that they quote the Acts 2:17 scriptures. In doing so they are telling you they are prophets. A true prophet will never tell us something that in not found in the bible!.

Headline: “Battalion of Sheikh Omar Hadid” Claims Rocket Attack on Three Targets in Israel
A day after Israeli planes bombed targets in the Gaza Strip following rocket fire at southern Israel, Hamas blamed Israel for the latest escalation, demanding it be forced to meet ceasefire agreements. “The Israeli escalation is in breach of the ceasefire terms, and the occupation is responsible,” Hamas official Ismail Radwan was quoted as saying Thursday by Israeli news site Ynet. Radwan called on Egypt and the international community to force Israel to meet the ceasefire terms drafted at the end of a 50-day war in between Israel and Hamas-led fighters in and around Gaza last year. But he ruled out the possibility that Israel would start another military operation in the Strip. His comments were the only official Hamas reaction so far to the latest round of fire. Meanwhile, the Gaza-based “Battalion of Sheikh Omar Hadid” claimed credit for a rocket attack on Ashkelon, Eshkol, and Netivot in Israel, and called them acts of revenge for Hamas killing a militant in order to “please the Jews”.

The prophet Zechariah told us in the last days Israel would be a burden to the world. What Zechariah said is taking place right now and we see nation after nation turning on Israel. The photo you are looking at was from Feb. 2014 and it shows the nations who are boycotting Israel. Since then more nations are following the boycott. For example, below you see Israel now having problems with France.
Headline: Netanyahu slams ‘miserable’ Orange move to cut Israel ties
Jerusalem (AFP) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday condemned the “miserable” decision of French telecoms giant Orange to withdraw its brand from Israel, urging Paris to distance itself from the company. “I call on the French government to publicly renounce the miserable remarks and the miserable action of a company that is under its partial ownership,” he said, a day after Orange’s chairman announced he would withdraw from Israel “tomorrow morning” if he could. Orange, which is partly controlled by the French government, announced on Thursday its decision to end its brand-licensing agreement with Partner, Israel’s second largest mobile operator, stressing that the move was not politically motivated. However, Israel saw the decision as a “boycott” linked to Partner’s operations in the occupied West Bank.

If you want to track who is boycotting Israel go to the BDS site you see below in red. Now here is a question for you. If someone asked you why are nations boycotting Israel would you be able to tell them why? First of all the Divestment and Sanctions (B.D.S.) movement, was launched in 2005 by Palestinian civil society in response to Israeli violations of Palestinian human rights. As you can see from the photo below of the wall that divides the Palestinians from the Israeli’s this wall is a large part of what the world is now calling human violations against the Palestinians. Of course one of the main reasons why the world is coming against Israel is because of the failed Middle east peace talks. Most of the world including the USA now is putting the blame solely on Israel. You won’t see mentioned to often that the wall went up because the Palestinians were attacking and killing the Jews. Even to this very day you see the PLO and all the different groups such as Hamas, and Hezbollah still launching rockets into Israel.
Link up what Zechariah said about Israel and what Paul the Apostle wrote about the peace and safety topic and you see for yourself that these events are linked to the end time prophecies. In case you don’t know what Paul wrote us as directed from Christ take a look. I Thessalonians 5:3,4: “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.” God tells us the future and all who read the Bible already know what is coming next! For example what about this wall that run 372 miles? We know that when the Psalm 83 war breaks out which will by the way include the PLO, this wall will no doubt be standing. Once the enemies of Israel are wiped out by Israel this wall will come down as the Jews will feel safe now that their enemies are gone. Do I have wisdom about the walls future that you don’t. If I do it is only because you did not study what the prophecy Ezekiel wrote. Take a look at Ezekiel 38:11. “You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people–all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. When you take a look at the photo below you will see the wall, the gates, and the bars Ezekiel was talking about. When the Psalm 83 war is over and the wall comes down. The Ezekiel 38:11 prophecy will come into play. You see those Islamic nations who saw Israel wipe out the Arabs listed in the Psalm 83 war will join up as one huge force and attack Israel who at this time will not have the walls, gates, or the bars to protect them.
When you read the rest of Ezekiel 38 and 39 you will learn Israel will not need the walls, gates, or bars because we are told that God Himself will fight and wipe out the armies who come against Israel in the Ezekiel 38 war. So, all I can say is this. Expect more nations to boycott Israel and, expects the entire world to turn on Israel and see them as a people who do nothing but burden the world. What you are witnessing is only the beginning of things to come!

Government troops and militias have been battling to repel ISIS attacks to the south of Hassakeh, which is close to the Iraqi border. “More than thirteen explosive-laden vehicles have attacked army checkpoints and sowed terror and fear among citizens,” City Governor Mohammad Zaal al Ali told state television by telephone from inside the city. Despite the attacks, the militants has been repelled and the army was manning new checkpoints across Hasaka. Rami Abdulrahrman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said on Thursday that ISIS fighters had moved to within 500 m (0.3 miles) of the city’s southern entrance.

Syria Headline: 14 Dead in Regime Barrel Bomb Attack on Aleppo
At least 14 civilians, including seven children, were killed on Thursday when Syrian regime helicopters dropped barrel bombs on northern Aleppo province, a monitoring group told AFP. The attacks came as part of an intensified air campaign over Aleppo in recent weeks, despite an international outcry over the civilian deaths. In the village of Hayyan, north of Aleppo city, barrel bombs killed two elderly men, a woman, and five children from a single family, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. North of the provincial capital, six civilians — among them two children — were killed when barrel bombs were dropped on the village of Deir Jamal. The Observatory, which relies on a network of activists and fighters, said many were critically wounded or still stuck under the rubble. On May 31, barrel bombs dropped on rebel-controlled areas throughout Aleppo province killed more than 80 people, one of the highest daily tolls since the beginning of 2015, according to AFP.

ISIS militants have reduced the amount of water flowing to government-held areas in Iraq’s western Anbar province, an official said Thursday, the latest in the vicious war as Iraqi forces struggle to claw back ground held by the extremists in the Sunni heartland. The reduced flow of water through the militant-held dam on the Euphrates River will threaten irrigation systems and water treatment plants in nearby areas controlled by troops and tribes opposed to the extremist group, provincial council member Taha Abdul-Ghani told The Associated Press. Abdul-Ghani said there would be no immediate effect on Shiite areas in central and southern Iraq, saying water is being diverted to those areas from the Tigris River. The United Nations had said Wednesday that it was looking into reports that ISIS had reduced the flow of water through the al-Warar dam.

Iran
Headline: Tehran expected to invoke defense pact for large-scale troop deployment to Syria
reliable sources in Tehran expected the Iranian government to invoke its 2006 mutual defense pact with Syria “in the coming hours” for the transfer of Iranian troops to Syria – most likely by air. This was reported by debkafile’s exclusive military and intelligence sources. It would be Tehran’s first direct military intervention in the Syria conflict as it goes into its fifth year. Bashar Assad’s regime and the Syrian and Hizballah armies are collapsing under the twin assaults of the Islamic State and the armed Syrian opposition forces and in need of urgent life support. The possibility of invoking the Iranian-Syrian mutual defense pact for saving the Assad regime was first raised in a debkafile article on May 30.
Tehran was persuaded that, without direct intervention, its ally would go under at any moment Thursday when Islamic State forces broke through Syrian army defenses to the northern Syrian Kurdish town of Hasakeh, which sits on the Syrian-Iraqi-Turkish border junction. Towards evening, the Islamists had come to within one kilometer of the strategic town and captured its power station. Its defenders, the Syrian army’s 52nd Division, were falling apart under the ISIS assault; some of the soldiers making a run for it. Although the town is ruled by a coalition of central government and local Kurds, there was no operational coordination between the Syrian and Kurdish forces defending the town against the common enemy.
If ISIS manages to take Hasakeh, it would chalk up its third major victory in a couple of weeks after capturing Palmyra in Syria and the Iraqi town of Ramadi.

The Islamic State (Isis) has kidnapped 86 Eritrean refugees in Libya, according to a Swedish-Eritrean activist. Meron Estefanos, human rights activist and co-founder of the International Commission on Eritrean Refugees in Stockholm, told IBTimes UK that the Eritrean refugees, including 12 women and children, were abducted two days ago (3 June) as they were travelling to Tripoli. Most of the kidnapped come from one city in Eritrea, Adi Keih, which is known for its opposition to the regime. “IS militants asked everyone who is Muslim or not and everybody started saying they are Muslims. But you have to know the Koran, and they didn’t,” Estefanos said, citing eyewitnesses who managed to escape. In April, IBTimes UK interviewed a 16-year-old Eritrean migrant who escaped captivity under IS. Nael Goitom said jihadists forced him to watch the beheading and shooting of Eritrean and Ethiopian Christians, which was shown in a three-minute video featuring extensive rants against Christianity and the West.

Headline: Armenia to sell Iran gas pipeline to Gazprom
Armenia will sell its section of an Iranian gas export pipeline to Russia’s Gazprom, Deputy Energy Minister Ara Simonian has said. The takeover of the 41-kilometer-long pipeline, however, will not allow Gazprom to “mess with” gas imports from neighboring Iran, Simonian said. The decision leaves Moscow in full control of natural gas supply routes to Armenia. Gazprom delivers 2 billion cubic meters of gas a year to the ex-Soviet state and has a monopoly on supply and distribution in the country. Iran’s 450 million cubic meters per year of gas exports to Armenia in exchange for electricity are just a quarter of Gazprom’s supplies. For payment, Armenia provides Iran with three kilowatts per hour of electricity for every cubic meter of gas it receives. In March, Energy Minister Armen Movsisian said Armenia planned to increase its imports of gas from Iran to 2 billion cubic meters per year, an increase of nearly 75 percent. Gazprom, which controls Armenia’s entire gas pipeline system and furnishes most of the country’s gas, has not reacted to the announcement.

A suicide bomber exploded a car at a checkpoint outside a military barracks and killed eight soldiers on Thursday, witnesses said of the latest of daily attacks blamed on Boko Haram in Nigeria’s northeastern city of Maiduguri. More than 60 people have been killed by bombings and rocket-propelled grenades since Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari announced at his inauguration May 29 that the command center for the war on the Islamic extremists is moving from Abuja, the capital in central Nigeria, to the group’s birthplace in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state at the heart of the war zone. Later, a second bomb exploded near the main market in Yola, the first such attack to hit the capital of neighboring Adamawa state, police and witnesses said. At least two people were killed, police Deputy Supt. Othman Abubakar said. Hospital workers said they were treating 30 injured. “I can see blood splattered everywhere, including my car, but I can’t give any detail because we are all running,” said bread seller Ayuba Dan Mallam. In Maiduguri, the bomber exploded the car as soldiers were checking it outside Brigadier Maimalari Barracks on bustling Baga Road during the evening rush hour, according to Bashir Malam, a fighter with a civilian defense group that works alongside the military. Malam said he counted the bodies of eight soldiers.

Headline: Russian-backed Separatists Launch Offensive in Ukraine
The Ukrainian parliament has adopted amendments to state law allowing “admission of the armed forces of other states on the territory of Ukraine.” The possible hosting of foreign weapons of mass destruction is also mentioned in the documents. Amendments to Ukrainian law were adopted on Thursday by the Verkhovna Rada, receiving a majority of 240 votes (the required minimum being 226). The bill was submitted to the parliament in May by PM Arseny Yatsenyuk. It focuses on the provision of “international peacekeeping and security” assistance to Ukraine at its request. Peacekeeping missions are to be deployed “on the basis of decision of the UN and/or the EU,” the bill published on the parliament’s official website says. Previously, the presence of any international military forces on the territory of Ukraine not specifically sanctioned by state law was only possible by adopting a special law initiated by the president. Implementation of the new amendments “will create necessary conditions for deployment on the territory of Ukraine international peacekeeping and security” missions without the need for additional legal authorization, the explanatory note to the draft bill said. The presence of such armed forces in Ukraine “should ensure an early normalization of situation” in Donbass, the note added, saying that they would help “restore law and order and life, constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens” in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

Headline: TPP Begins to Unravel as Obama Launches Final Push For Votes
The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade package is beginning to unravel, with more prominent voices slamming President Obama and the Republican leadership over the secretive deal that threatens to cost American jobs and hand big corporations new powers that would violate national sovereignty. House Majority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Rules Committee chairman Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) refused to reveal to Breitbart whether they had read the TPP agreement but still said they would support the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) and allow President Barack Obama to fast-track the TPP. Lawmakers claim that TPA is separate from TPP and that they will review the final TPP agreement before it is considered by Congress.

Headline: Greek PM to address parliament as stocks slide and Athens looks to Moscow
Greece will skip its €305m (£218m) payment to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Friday in a show of defiance as a deal between Athens and its creditors remains out of reach. The country invoked a rule created by the IMF in the 1970s that allows it to bundle all of its €1.6bn payments due this month into one. In a statement, Gerry Rice, the IMF’s chief spokesman, said: “The Greek authorities have informed the Fund today that they plan to bundle the country’s four June payments into one, which is now due on June 30. “Under an Executive Board decision adopted in the late 1970s, country members can ask to bundle together multiple principal payments falling due in a calendar month (payments of interest cannot be included in the bundle). The decision was intended to address the administrative difficulty of making multiple payments in a short period.”

Headline: EU weighs unprecedented reform as Britain threatens to leave
The prospect that economic and diplomatic heavyweight Britain might leave the European Union within two years has pushed EU leaders to consider concessions to keep the country in the fold. EU founding members like Germany and France are moving outside their comfort zones, surprisingly receptive to British Prime Minister David Cameron’s call for change ahead of a referendum that will allow citizens to vote on whether to stay or go before the end of 2017. With Europe’s top priority the very real risk that Greece might fall out of the euro single currency, Cameron has found a surprisingly open ear in many capitals of the world’s biggest trading bloc. “If there are adjustments to be made, it must be in the interest of all – so, Europe – while allowing the British people to speak when the time comes,” French President Francois Hollande said. “We have agreed to work together very closely,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said after meeting Cameron recently. “Where there is a will, there is a way.” In the year since Cameron vowed to hold a referendum, he has not defined what changes he needs to argue for Britain to stay in the EU, which should leave room for compromise. One thing is clear: there is no will for wholesale change since it would be impossible to modify Europe’s treaties and ratify them in 28 parliaments in two years.

Headline: Earthquake injures 11 climbers, strands 137 on Malaysia mountain
A magnitude-5.9 earthquake that struck near Southeast Asia’s highest peak early Friday injured 11 climbers and left about 130 people stranded, officials said. The quake struck northwest of Ranau district in Sabah state on Borneo early Friday at a depth of 34 miles, Malaysia’s meteorological department said. Sabah Parks director Jamili Nais said two climbers who were injured on the 4,095-meter peak have been brought down. Nine more people are believed to be injured among the 137 stranded on the mountain, he said. Their climbing route is apparently blocked or made dangerous by rocks and boulders loosened by the quake and small aftershocks, he said. Some of the stranded climbers are foreign, but it wasn’t clear how many. Jamili said helicopters can’t land due to bad weather and the high altitude, but park rangers and mountain guides are trying to help down the climbers.

Tornadoes that swept through Colorado destroyed at least three homes and damages over two dozen others, authorities said Friday. No injuries were reported. The tornadoes touched down near the towns of Berthoud and Simla on Thursday night also created a giant sinkhole about 15 feet deep on a street south of Denver that swallowed a police cruiser. The sergeant inside managed to crawl out and said he’s glad it happened to him and no one else. Lori Hodges, director of the Larimer County Office of Emergency Management, told the Associated Press that three homes suffered damage in the town of Berthoud, approximately 40 miles north of Denver. Crews were checking on reports of about 25 other homes that were possibly damaged, but they were hindered by foul weather and darkness. “The rain is so heavy in that area with hail that they are not able to get more damage assessments,” Hodges said. She added that flooding is a more immediate concern, with pelting rain expected to continue through the night.

Headline: Jewish Priests Perform Pentecost Temple Service In Anticipation Of Third Temple
On Monday, on a mountain ridge overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem and the ancient Temple Mount, kohanim (ancestral priests) performed a dry run of the Temple Service for the Shavuot (Pentecost) holiday. All three of the major components of the holiday service – bringing of the first fruits, preparation of two loaves of bread using the season’s new wheat, and a special holiday offering – were conducted to as great a level of detail as is possible at this point in time. Several kohanim, levi’im (ancestral Levites) and crowds of parents and children assembled on the Armon HaNatziv Promenade, just south of the Old City of Jerusalem, on the day after the official Shavuot holiday to newly re-enact this most joyous and beautiful ceremony, marking the time in the calendar when the wheat has just ripened and the first fruits of the season are ready for picking and eating by the entire populace. “We’ve come here because we want to be part of the End of Times and prophecy,” said a woman, who learned of the event through the Temple Institute website, to Breaking Israel News. What is important to understand is that the Shavuot holiday has not been celebrated in this manner for nearly 2,000 years. When the Great Temple stood at the center of Jerusalem, the entire populace celebrated this agricultural festival, which was harmonized directly with the agricultural activities that were the mainstay of industry in the Land of Israel.

Headline: Obama: Netanyahu’s Palestine stance erodes Israel’s credibility
President Obama took a step toward a tougher line with Israel in an interview released Tuesday, raising the possibility that the U.S. will allow a United Nations vote on issues related to the Palestinians if the two sides make no meaningful movement toward peace. In an interview with an Israeli television station, Obama noted that his administration has “up until this point” quashed such efforts at the U.N. while insisting that the Israelis and Palestinians must negotiate a resolution. But he said it is a challenge for the U.S. to keep demanding that the Palestinians negotiate in good faith if no one believes the Israelis are doing the same. “How do we move off what appears right now to be a hopeless situation and move it back towards a hopeful situation?” Obama asked in the interview. “That will require more than just words. That will require some actions. And that’s going to be hard work, though, because right now I think there’s not a lot of confidence in the process.” The comment was the latest sign that Obama has concluded that the U.S. must rethink its stance on the Mideast peace process if it is to maintain credibility in the world.

Headline: Netanyahu: All You Need to Know About BDS Is It Doesn’t Boycott ISIS
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu tore into British students Wednesday for joining the Boycott Israel movement, while a British official tried to cover up a government boycott action by promising a “commitment” to trade with Israel. The National Union of Students in Britain voted Tuesday to join the BDS movement to boycott Israel. The move has little practical effect but is an important propaganda victory for the Boycott Israel movement. The British government, along with France and several other countries, also have boycotted Israel by banning companies in their countries from staging an exhibition at this week’s seventh annual Israel Defense Expo in Tel Aviv. Rob Dixon, Britain’s Deputy Ambassador to Israel, ignored the ban at the exhibition, as if it didn’t happen, and assured Israel on Wednesday that his government is against BDS and is “committed to advancing trade links” with Israel. From the BDS website: “The global movement for a campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights was initiated by Palestinian civil society in 2005, and is coordinated by the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), established in 2007. BDS is a strategy that allows people of conscience to play an effective role in the Palestinian struggle for justice.”

Headline: Hezbollah seizes 15 positions on Arsal’s outskirts
Hezbollah fighters Wednesday seized at least 15 positions from militants on the outskirts of a volatile northeastern border town, killing at least 11 militants, a security source said. The source told The Daily Star Hezbollah fighters captured positions on the northern and southern outskirts of Lebanon’s Arsal along the porous mountain range on Syria’s western border. Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV said Wednesday Hezbollah fighters had seized control over Jabal al-Zaroub and Wadi Abu Daher, in addition to several other positions on Arsal’s outskirts. They also captured positions south of the border town, the report said, including the strategic Al-Sharouq peak. That position overlooks the areas of Al-Rahwe, Wadi al-Khayl and Wadi Atneen, allowing Hezbollah to target militant bases in the southern portion of the town’s outskirts. The party pounded militant positions in the area, destroying three armed vehicles belonging to the Nusra Front, Al-Manar reported, adding that jihadis fled en masse. It said the militants set fire to their tents before fleeing. Following Hezbollah’s offensive, militants retreated in the direction of Arsal’s southern outskirts, particularly the areas of Wadi Atneen and Wadi al-Khayl, Al-Manar said. The report said those two areas host the Nusra Front’s central command for Qalamoun.

Headline: 2 Egyptian police killed in Pyramids terror attack
Gunmen on a speeding motorcycle opened fire outside the plateau of the famed Giza Pyramids on the outskirts of Cairo on Wednesday, killing two members of the country’s tourist police, Egypt’s state news agency reported. The drive-by shooting was a rare attack at a tourist site. The state MENA news agency said the gunmen fled the area and that an investigation was underway. The surge in violence has followed the military’s ouster in 2013 of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi and a crackdown on his group, the 87-year old Muslim Brotherhood, landing most of its leadership and thousands of its supporters in jail. Militants say the attacks are meant to avenge the crackdown. Sinai-based Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis — which has claimed most of the major attacks in Egypt — has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State extremist group fighting in Iraq and Syria and has declared itself to be the group’s Sinai Province.

Syria Headline: Syrian troops battle to repel Islamic State attack on city
Syrian troops and militia battled on Wednesday to repel an Islamic State attack on the city of Hasaka in the northeast, and a Kurdish official said the government forces may not be able to hold off the jihadists. Hasaka city is divided into zones run separately by the government of President Bashar al-Assad and a Kurdish administration, whose well-organized militia YPG receives air support from a U.S.-led alliance bombing Islamic State. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based group that monitors the war, said Islamic State used car bombs to attack government forces 2 km south of the city. State media reported fighting with Islamic State in the area and air strikes on its positions. “It is a serious attack. An attempt to make up for other losses,” Rami Abdulrahman, who runs the Observatory, said. Steady advances by insurgents in Syria have increased military pressure on Assad, whose government increasingly sees western areas near the capital and the coast as its priority in the four-year-old conflict.

Thousands of Iranian and Iraqi fighters have been deployed in Syria in past weeks to bolster the defenses of Damascus and its surroundings, a Syrian security source told AFP on Wednesday. “Around 7,000 Iranian and Iraqi fighters have arrived in Syria over the past few weeks and their first priority is the defense of the capital. The larger contingent is Iraqi,” the source said on condition of anonymity. “The goal is to reach 10,000 men to support the Syrian army and pro-government militias, firstly in Damascus, and then to retake Jisr al-Shughur because it is key to the Mediterranean coast and the Hama region” in central Syria, he added. Syria’s government lost control of Jisr al-Shughur in northwestern Idlib province on April 25, as a coalition of opposition forces including Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front swept through the region. Yesterday, Iran’s official news agency IRNA quoted elite Revolutionary Guards General Qassem Soleimani as saying “in the coming days the world will be surprised by what we are preparing, in cooperation with Syrian military leaders.” The agency cautioned however that it “takes no responsibility for the information.”

Islamic State militants have closed gates of a dam on the Euphrates River in western Iraq, reducing the water and giving them greater freedom of movement to attack government forces downstream on the southern bank, local officials said. The militants have redirected the flow of water to their advantage on the battlefield around the city of Ramadi. But the tactic also threatens southern provinces with drought and the water has been reduced to worrying levels, the officials said. The Euphrates has acted as a barrier between the militants who control its northern bank and pro-government forces who are are trying to advance towards Ramadi on the other side. A spokesman for the governor of Anbar province, of which Ramadi is the capital, said security forces would now have to redeploy along the river to prevent the insurgents from infiltrating. “Previously they had to monitor only the bridges and certain areas, but now all of the river will be crossable,” Hikmat Suleiman said.

Headline: Turkish police detains dozens in Kurdish southeast ahead of election
Turkish police detained dozens of people in Turkey’s mainly Kurdish southeast Wednesday, security sources said, in an operation a pro-Kurdish politician described as a “provocation” ahead of Sunday’s parliamentary election. President Tayyip Erdogan seeks a large majority for the ruling AKP to allow it to change the constitution and grant him sweeping executive powers. A big vote for the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), which nationalists accuse of supporting Kurdish armed rebels, could hinder him in that ambition. The security sources said 43 people held in Sirnak province, bordering Syria and Iraq were planning protests on election day, adding that 37 more people were still being sought. Hasip Kaplan, an HDP MP for Sirnak, blamed the AK Party co-founded by Erdogan for the raids in what is an HDP stronghold. “This operation, brought about by the AKP government three days before the election, is in a word a ‘provocation,'” he told Reuters. “But the people will not be stirred up. We will thwart this provocation with our rally tomorrow.”

Tunisia is one of the biggest exporters of fighters to ISIS, sending more than 3,000 jihadists into the battlefields of Syria and Iraq, according to some reports. Now, the militant group appears close to setting up a new base in the North African country. Members of ISIS forums published a “teaser” titled “Soon, Soon” that promises a new video by an unknown group called “ISIS Tunisia Province.” The teaser footage claims to show ISIS members monitoring Tunisian soldiers and filming them with a hidden camera from inside a car. Following the releases of the video, ISIS affiliates in other places circulated messages saying that the Tunisian Ministry of the Interior had asked Twitter for information about the people who uploaded the video.

Headline: Police fire live shots during Burundi protest
Burundi’s police have shot live rounds and tear gas during a demonstration against President Pierre Nkurunziza’s bid to contest a third term in office. Protesters clashed with the law enforcement officers in the capital, Bujumbura, on Tuesday. Police launched the attack to break up groups of demonstrators trying to gather in the three hotspot neighborhoods of Cibitoke, Musaga, and Nyakabiga. Burundi’s opposition has been calling on the head of state to abandon further presidential aspirations as the country rolls in violence in the run-up to the June 26 presidential polls. More than 30 people have died in the protests that began when Nkurunziza announced in late April that he would stand for reelection after the constitutional court gave him the green light.

Saudi-led air strikes killed a group of around 20 Houthi fighters outside the southern Yemeni port city of Aden on Wednesday and also shook the capital Sanaa in the north, militiamen opposed to the Houthis said. The militia sources said the Houthis were killed when the air raid hit their military convoy as it was transporting an artillery piece toward the northwest suburbs of Aden. The death toll could not be independently verified. Residents in Aden complain of a worsening humanitarian situation as the Arab coalition has imposed a near blockade on food and fuel imports and fighting has cut off the city. In the battle-scarred district of Crater, residents said that four people died of dengue fever on Tuesday. Electricity, water and trash collection have lapsed during the conflict. Houthi officials said there were casualties in the air strikes on Sanaa but gave no further details. Locals saw ambulances racing to the scene. Residents said the warplanes launched at least 10 strikes north of Sanaa, causing massive explosions. Air strikes on Wednesday hit the home of a Houthi leader in the central province of Ibb and targeted areas in the northern province of Saada and the southern province of Lahj, residents said.

Headline: At least 6 dead, 90 injured in Donetsk in shelling by Kiev – local officials
Heavy artillery fire was reported around Donetsk city in eastern Ukraine on Wednesday, in what observers described as some of the worst fighting in the months since a shaky ceasefire was declared. The Ukrainian General Command media office said that separatists fired heavy artillery from Donetsk city toward Mariinka early Wednesday. Mariinka has been controlled by Ukrainian government forces and sits on a strategically vital western highway to the city’s west, where checkpoints mark the end of separatist-controlled territory. The General Command said 200 separatist militants attacked Ukrainian positions and there was an exchange of fire for six hours. It denied reports that 25 Ukrainian soldiers were wounded or that their positions were surrounded. Eduard Basurin, a spokesman for the separatist Donetsk People’s Republic, confirmed there were clashes in Mariinka and that the fighting began because of “provocations” by Ukrainian forces. He added that Ukrainian forces shelled the Petrovsky and Kirovsky districts of Donetsk city overnight.

Headline: Drought fears in India after lower monsoon forecast
Media and experts are fearing a drought after India’s metrological department lowered its monsoon rains forecast to 88% this year. Monsoon rains between June to September are crucial for India’s farmers and also for the economy. The forecast in April was about 93% of the long-term average. But the reduced forecast in June has sparked fears of a drought. Millions of farmers across the country depend on monsoon rains for good yields and that eventually helps the economy. But any deficit becomes disastrous for India’s farmers. Usually rains below 90% are believed to bring a drought in several parts of India. The Zee News says it’s “a bad news for the country in general and the agriculture sector in particular”. The India Today magazine says the “Met department has predicted that the country is staring at the prospects of yet another drought”. Other papers like the Hindustan Times have highlighted the monsoon has already been delayed this year. “The arrival of the monsoons has already been delayed in the country’s southern tip, Kerala, by about four-five days and large parts of the country experiencing a searing heat wave which has left near 2,000 people dead,” it says.

A drought has hit key crop regions in South Korea, leaving fields bone dry and delaying the country’s planting season. Seoul’s Agriculture Ministry said Wednesday local administrations and the Korea Rural Community Corporation were coordinating a joint response system to the detrimental conditions in areas near Seoul and in rural regions. Regions affected include Incheon, Gyeonggi and Gangwon provinces, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported. The Agriculture Ministry said a situation room is to go into operation to monitor the drought conditions in the areas affected. Aerial photos taken on Wednesday showed troubling images of a dried up lake in South Korea’s Gangwon province. Boats that once tugged along the waters were stranded atop a field of green weeds. South Korean television network KBS reported the rivers in the affected places were running at low levels, or at 60 percent. In the city of Paju and 12 other counties near Seoul, 3,521 acres of fields were parched. Another 5,360 acres of fields used to plant potato, corn and cabbage were at the risk of crop failure.

Headline:Tropical Storm Blanca, Brewing Off Mexican Coast, to Become Hurricane
Tropical Storm Blanca’s increasing airstreams and cooling cloud temperatures are two reasons meteorologists are expecting the storm system off the coast of Mexico to develop into a hurricane. The International Space Station’s RapidScat device and NASA’s Aqua satellite aided meteorologists in coming to that conclusion this week, Phys.org reported. Blanca developed early Monday morning and turned into a tropical cyclone late in the day. The system is currently centered about 365 miles southwest of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, and is moving west around 1 mph, The Associated Press reported. Information from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) core observatory showed Monday that several areas of powerful precipitation were situated east of Blanca’s midpoint. The storm’s top altitudes also touched heights of more than 9.3 miles, indicating strong thunderstorms, Phys.org noted.

Headline: Hamas Front Group Receives UN Status
The Hamas front group the Palestinian Rights Center (PRC) received official UN non-governmental organization (NGO) status on Monday night, angering Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely (Likud). “The decision that a Hamas organization will join the UN is outrageous,” Hotovely stated. “Hamas, only last summer, was hiding behind women and children to fire missiles at Israeli civilian centers.” “Inserting the Hamas-affiliated organization into UN institutions is awarding a prize to terrorism and its activities – there is no other way to interpret this decision,” she added. Out of the 19-member Committee for NGOs, 12 supported the decision – including Iran, Sudan, Venezuela, Turkey, Pakistan, China and Cuba. Opposing were the United States, Uruguay and Israel alone; India, Russia and Greece abstained. The PRC now has full access to UN events and participation in debates, and – most importantly – has gained more ammo for international legitimacy.

They have threatened to target Eilat Port. debkafile first reported Monday, June 1, on the appearance of ISIS on the Israeli border with details. Followers of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant were spotted for the first time in the Gaza Strip this week, debkafile’s military sources report. Their arrival on Israel’s border was confirmed as a division-strength IDF force launched its large-scale “Turning Point 2015” exercise for repelling Islamist cross-border incursions. The Islamist group which has established a substantial anti-Hamas presence in the Gaza Strip is Ansar al Dawa al-Islamia, renamed “Supporters of the Islamic State of Jerusalem.” Israeli, Egyptian and Hamas’ military sources are all concerned to make light of this development. When asked, they say that the group’s nature and scope have not yet been evaluated. Western and Middle East governments took the same tack two years ago, when ISIS first embarked on its calamitous course in Syria.

Headline: State Dept.: No Decision Yet on French UN Initiative
There has been a lot of talk about things that are going to happen in September, but something that has been almost totally overlooked is the fact that the UN Security Council is likely to be voting on a UN resolution which will establish a Palestinian state at that time. Right now, France is working on a proposed resolution which would give formal UN Security Council recognition to the Palestinians, would declare that a divided Jerusalem is the capital of both Israel and a Palestinian state, and would set the 1967 borders as the baseline for future negotiations which would establish the final borders between the two nations. It is being reported that France will submit this resolution for a vote after the 70th session of the UN General Assembly begins on the 15th of September. At this moment, 136 nations have already recognized a Palestinian state, but the United States has always blocked recognition by the UN Security Council. This time may be different though, because there are quite a few indications that Barack Obama actually plans to back the French resolution in September. If that happens, and the UN Security Council approves this resolution, it is going to have enormous implications for all of us.

Iraq Headline: ‘2,300 Humvees in Mosul alone’: Iraq reveals number of US arms falling into ISIS hands
Iraq has admitted that ISIS jihadists captured huge caches of US-made weapons, including thousands of Humvees seized from Iraqi forces retreating from Mosul last year. The spoils of war have since then been used by ISIS to gain ground in Iraq and Syria. “In the collapse of Mosul, we lost a lot of weapons,” Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said in an interview with Iraqiya state TV. “We lost 2,300 Humvees in Mosul alone.” Just this month the Pentagon estimated that at least half a dozen tanks were abandoned when Baghdad forces lost Ramadi, in addition to artillery pieces, and some 100 Humvees. Meanwhile the US approved new arms deliveries to the Iraqis last December to replenish the stock ransacked by IS. One contract allows the sale of 175 heavy M1A1 Abarams worth $12.4 billion, while another approves the delivery of 1,000 Humvees, equipped with M2.50 caliber machine guns and MK-19 40mm grenade launchers. They are exactly the types of weapons IS used to gain vast amount of territory both in Iraq and northern Syria. In fact, the first use of US-Humvees on Syrian territory was reported last year shortly after Mosul has fallen to jihadists.

Headline: Erdoğan: ‘Liberate Jerusalem’ from the Jews
Just one week before upcoming parliamentary elections in Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and officials in his Justice and Development Party (AK Party) found a unique way to try and secure a victory at the polls by calling for the “liberation” of Jerusalem. “Conquest is Mecca, conquest is Saladin, it’s to hoist the Islamic flag over Jerusalem again; conquest is the heritage of Mehmed II and conquest means forcing Turkey back on its feet,” said Erdoğan in a speech on Saturday in Istanbul before millions who appeared to celebrate 562 years since the Turks captured Constantinople from European Christians. Erdoğan drew a straight historical line between the capture of Jerusalem from the crusaders by Saladin and the capture of Constantinople to the elections in Turkey due to take place next week. Although state employees were required to send a delegation to the celebration, under the threat of punishment, local media reported that many partakers left during the President’s speech. Attempts by Erdoğan and his allies to find political support by linking Jerusalem and Islam have formed a clear and solid trend in Turkey. Only a few days ago, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu dedicated a new airport in the south of the country, naming it after Saladin. According to Davutoğlu, “It’s a name that says to the Kurds, to Turkey, and to the Arabs, yes, this is our leader. “It’s a symbol that unites us,” he continued. “All those who claim that Jerusalem is the Jew’s holy city should be ashamed. We chose the name Saladin in order to send a message with the help of Allah that Jerusalem will always belong to the Kurds, to Turkey, to Arabs, to Muslims.”

Russia’s Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation made the announcement early on Monday, stating that it will begin building a second nuclear power plant in Iran’s southern region later this year, according to Iran’s state-controlled Fars News Agency. Meanwhile, an earthquake struck Monday morning near the site of Iran’s current nuclear power plant in Bushehr, near where the second plant will be built. Iranian media outlets reported the quake as hitting a 4.4 magnitude with no injuries occurring as a result. Iran’s southern region is prone to such incidents. Iranian officials announced in late 2014 that it had already begun the initial stages of construction on at least two nuclear plants in the region. In November, Tehran finalized a deal with Russia to aid in the construction of these plants.

Headline: Report: Sudan airdropping weapons and ammunition to South Sudan rebels over the last year
Sudan has been supplying South Sudanese rebels with weapons and ammunition, a London-based research organization said Tuesday in a new report that appears to back South Sudan’s persistent allegations of northern interference. The report by Conflict Armament Research, which investigates weapons trafficking, said 70 percent of the ammunition it examined was recently manufactured in Sudan. It added that most of this ammunition had sustained heavy impact damage consistent with witness accounts of aircraft dropping materials to the rebels between September and October last year. Some of the ammunition had been made in China, it added. These weapons had a number of features identical to those we documented on other weapons that Sudan supplied to other previous groups fighting the Juba government before the current fighting broke out in 2013,” Claudio Gramizzi, who led the investigation, told The Associated Press. “I think we can surely confirm the fact that this equipment was airdropped. This comes not only from the reports of (South Sudanese) forces who worked with us but also from the fact that most of the equipment was deformed or bent due to the impact of the landing.” Sudan has been repeatedly accused by its southern neighbor of supporting rebels, charges it routinely denies, maintaining instead that it is South Sudan who is harboring rebels opposed to the government in Khartoum.

Headline: Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb claims 2 attacks in Mali
Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), al Qaeda’s official branch in North Africa, has claimed two recent attacks on UN forces in Mali. The two attacks occurred in the last week and targeted UN peacekeeping forces near the city of Timbuktu. The Mauritanian news agency Al Akhbar, which regularly reports statements from Saharan jihadists, reported that AQIM’s Sahara branch claimed the two attacks in a phone call to the agency. According to a translation by SITE Intelligence Group, the spokesman for AQIM said that the group “confirms its responsibility for the rocket attack on the base of international forces in northern Mali on 25 May.” The attack was reportedly on the UN’s base in the town of Ber, just east of Timbuktu. Al Akhbar said that the group fired more than a dozen rockets into the camp, but no causalities were reported. The second attack was an improvised explosive device (IED) attack on a UN convoy near Timbuktu. The Mauritanian news agency has reported that the commander of the international forces, Dane Michael Lollesgaard, and the head of the international police forces, Djiboutian Awale Abdounasir, were in the convoy. The two were unharmed, but three Burkinabe peacekeepers were wounded in the attack. The al Qaeda group claimed to have killed the three peacekeepers, but other reporting has stated they were left injured.

Headline: Nigeria deploys jet fighter after Boko Haram attacks northeast city again
Headline: Boko Haram multinational force ready soon: Niger president
Boko Haram early Tuesday attacked the northeastern city of Maiduguri, according to residents awakened by booming explosions, heavy gunfire and the screech of a jet fighter. “We are under siege,” Sumaila Ayuba told The Associated Press by telephone just after midnight from her home on the western flanks of the city. “The shooting is quite deafening. Please we need prayers.” President Muhammadu Buhari announced at his inauguration on Friday that he is moving the military headquarters of the war from Abuja, the capital in central Nigeria, to Maiduguri. The capital of Borno state is the birthplace of Boko Haram, an Islamic extremist group, and the biggest city in northeastern Nigeria. There was no immediate word of casualties in this latest attack. On Saturday, rocket-propelled grenades hit some homes in Maiduguri, killing at least 16 people. Another 17 people died later Saturday when a suicide bomber blew himself up among people prostrating themselves in prayer outside a mosque. On Sunday, a bomb at a market ripped off one man’s arm and wounded three other people.

Headline: American held in Yemen freed, French hostage pleads for help
Armed tribesmen killed 18 Houthi fighters in an ambush in Yemen’s central province of Ibb on Tuesday, residents said, in one of the deadliest ground attacks in over two months of war. The attack hit a convoy of militiamen and allied army troops in the town of Qaeda while they were en route to the city of Taiz, a flashpoint of clashes between Yemen’s dominant Houthis and armed backers of exiled president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. Farther south in Dhalea province, around 15 Houthi fighters were killed in heavy clashes with pro-Hadi fighters on Monday night. Saudi-led air strikes hit Houthi positions along Yemen’s far northern border with the kingdom and struck military bases aligned with the group in the capital Sanaa on Tuesday. Neighboring Oman, a neutral power, is mediating talks between Houthi and American officials in the capital Muscat aimed at ending Yemen’s conflict. The dialogue also led Yemeni authorities to release to Oman on Monday a detained American freelance journalist.

You have heaped up treasure in the last days.” (James)
Headline: Libya’s economy collapsing
Libya’s public finances, wracked by a dramatic loss in oil revenue that has been exacerbated by a power struggle between rival governments, are foundering, according to reports issued yesterday. The crisis has prompted the authorities in Tripoli, who control much of western Libya, to plan cuts to petrol subsidies, to delay public salary payments and to ban imports from cars to steel. And it has already been forcing the central bank – which is treading a fine line between rival governments and funds the whole country – to burn through its foreign reserves. Libya needs $30 billion to fund imports annually and typically spends $40 billion on its budget. “Libya is on the verge of economic and financial collapse,” UN Special Envoy Bernadino Leon, who has been trying to end a power struggle between the two governments, is insisting. Since last year, the central bank has frozen infrastructure projects, limited spending to basic public salaries and food and petrol subsidies. This has led civil servants, the biggest workforce in Libya, now to say they have not been paid for at least two months and accuse the central bank of not providing local lenders with liquidity to issue paychecks. “We don’t have a budget,” said Colonel Abu Breeda, deputy head of Libya’s police unit combatting illegal immigration. “I am the head of the department but what’s the point? Salaries? Nothing. There are delays everywhere.” The economy is essentially being hit on two sides. The dinar currency has lost 35 per cent of its value against the dollar since January alone. Oil production, meanwhile, has fallen to 400,000 barrels a day, or a quarter of what was the case before an uprising toppled Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.

South Korea on Tuesday reported the first two deaths from an outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) that has affected 25 people in two weeks. A 58-year-old woman who had had contact with South Korea’s first patient died of acute respiratory failure on Monday, the Health Ministry said. A 71-year-old man who had been on respiratory support with a history of kidney ailments also died. The ministry reported new confirmed cases on Tuesday, bringing the total to 25. South Korea now has the third highest number of cases after Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. China reported its first MERS case in a South Korean man who tested positive after breaking a voluntary house quarantine last week, flying to Hong Kong and then travelling to mainland China. South Korean authorities were considering a ban on overseas travel for the nearly 700 people isolated for possible infection.

Headline: Meningitis epidemic in Niger, 545 dead
An epidemic of meningitis has killed 545 people in Niger, out of 8,234 people who caught the disease, but has now peaked, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday. The WHO had said that the epidemic was worrying and unprecedented because it was a strain not normally found in Africa and the appropriate vaccine was in short supply. In early May, cases were tripling every two weeks. But the number of new cases slowed in the second half of May amid a vaccination campaign in affected areas. The spread of the disease peaked in the week to May 10, when there were 2,189 cases and 132 deaths. In the last week of the month there were 264 cases and 8 deaths, WHO spokesman Cory Couillard said in an emailed response to Reuters.

Headline: NASA preps revolutionary ‘flying saucer’ test flight
NASA will conduct an ambitious test flight of its revolutionary ‘flying saucer‘ technology Tuesday as scientists lay the foundations for future Mars missions. The high altitude test at the U.S. Navy Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai, Hawaii, will use a huge balloon to carry the 15-foot wide, 7,000-pound test flying saucer to high altitude. The balloon, roughly the size of three football fields, will lift the flying saucer to 120,000 feet, at which point the vehicle will be released. A booster rocket will then transport the saucer at Mach 4, four times the speed of sound, to a height of 180,000 feet. After reaching a height of 180,000 feet, a doughnut-shaped airbag will inflate around the saucer for its descent to earth. “That airbag helps it slow down by adding more area and drag,” Steve Jurczyk, NASA space technology mission directorate associate administrator told FoxNews.com. “Then we deploy a supersonic parachute about 100 feet in diameter.” Slowed down by the airbag and parachute, the saucer is expected to splash down in the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii about 2 hours and 15 minutes after launch.

Headline: Trendies Ready for Ultimate Wearable: “Chip Implanted in Their Skin Used for Payments”
As SHTF has previously noted, the likelihood of a forced RFID implant under the guise of a martial law pandemic emergency might be a little too obvious, as far as future tyranny goes. Before it comes to that, it seems plenty of people will be voluntarily subjecting themselves to cattle-like status, by jumping at the chance to ditch the inconvenience of a wallet and get a “smarter” payment system that can be embedded under their skin. Via the Business Insider: A mind-boggling 25% of Australians say they are at least “slightly interested” at the prospect of having a chip implanted in their skin that could be used for payments, new research has found. The research by credit card company Visa and the University of Technology Sydney found Australians are open to the prospect of paying for items using wearable tech including smart watches, rings, glasses and even a connected car. “New technology like tokenisation makes it possible to turn any device into a secure vehicle for commerce. We’re already seeing smartphone payments take off in Australia. Things are about to get creepier. The significance of the “mind-boggling 25% of Australians” is that the number is growing into a sizable portion of the population. They are ready to accept it. If that continues, polls might soon show that 60% and 80% of the population are interested in these devices, and that a 25% or 33% of them are already using them. Whereas firms like VeriChip met fierce resistance in introducing implantable RFID chips in the wake of 9/11, the furious trend to buy smart technology is making biometrics and data tracking seem passive and benign – even in the face of Edward Snowden’s revelations about mass surveillance through a partnership between the government and private industry. To make matters more conspiratorial, this poll linking the popularity of wearables, implants and digital payments coincides with numerous calls in the financial sector toban cash and force people to use electronic currency in order to make the enforcement of certain economic policies easier (and to enrich banks with deposit fees, transaction fees and fines, of course).

A series of four earthquakes struck late Sunday and Monday morning off the coast of Oregon. It started with a 5.8 earthquake at 11:52 p.m. in the Pacific nearly 300 miles west of Newport. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s office in Newport said it did not receive any calls from the public about the quake. Amy Vaughan with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said it occurred in an active seismic area. The second earthquake, 4.3 magnitude, struck just after midnight just a mile away from the first quake. The third earthquake hit just before 4 a.m. Monday about 278 miles northwest of Coos Bay. It measured 5.5 magnitude. The fourth earthquake was reported at 7:46 a.m. near the same area. It measured 4.4 magnitude. There was no tsunami threat from any of the quakes.

Headline: Dunedin New Zealand jolted by strongest quake in 41 years
The 4.7-magnitude earthquake that rocked parts of Otago last night was believed to be the strongest experienced in the region since 1974. It struck at 11.17pm at a depth of 7km, centred 2km northeast of Lee Stream, some 30km west of Dunedin. The quake was felt in various parts of Otago, but there were no immediate reports of injury or damage. Adrian Bardrick, publican at the Clarks Junction Hotel, on State Highway 87, only about 12km from the epicentre, said they received a pretty good “sort of thump”. It rattled the bottles, he said. “But there was no damage.” The hotel was cleaning up after a good evening. “The Strath Taieri boys had beaten the West Taieri boys” in rugby and had called in on their way home. They had left by the time of the quake. The largest quake significantly affecting Dunedin in the past several decades was on April 9, 1974. It was magnitude 5 and dislodged grocery stock and damaged some chimneys.

Security forces tasked with dispersing Palestinian Arab riots are used to being attacked with rocks and firebombs, but on Friday they were surprised by a new weapon used by the rioters. Palestinian Arabs on Friday afternoon began violently rioting in the village of Silwad, not far from Ofra, in the Binyamin area. Border Policemen and IDF soldiers from the Netzach Yehuda Battalion who began to move toward a concrete shelter meant to protect the fighters as they disperse riots, were surprised to discover right above their heads a viper snake which had been placed there by the rioters in an attempt to harm the security forces. Company Commander Aaron Moyal commented following the incident, “We have witnessed various attempts to harm security forces, but in this case as well the forces’ vigilance prevented harm.”

Headline: Blast outside mosque in Saudi Arabia, fatalities reported
Four people were killed in eastern Saudi Arabia after a suicide bomber tried to enter a Shiite mosque during Friday prayers. Islamic State has reportedly claimed responsibility. It is the second attack of its kind in a week. A car exploded outside the Imam Hussein Shiite mosque in the Al Anoud district of the city of Dammam. However, security officials, cited by local media, say the attackers failed to enter the building itself. A car parked near the mosque triggered security forces’ suspicions, but as they tried to approach it, the vehicle exploded, killing four people and setting nearby cars on fire. One witness, identified only as Ahmed, told Reuters he was told by acquaintances at the mosque that a man was killed when he tried to prevent the bomber from entering the building. The terrorist organization Islamic State (formerly known as ISIS, ISIL) has claimed responsibility for the attack in a Twitter post, Reuters reports. On Friday evening, the US military said it doesn’t regard the Islamic State group as a “significant threat” for Saudi Arabia, also failing to confirm the attribution of the blast, according to Reuters.

An Islamist coalition that includes Syria’s al-Qaeda affiliate al-Nusra Front has taken over one of the last government strongholds in western Idlib province, activists say. The Jaish al-Fateh, or Conquest Army, took control of the city of Ariha after a “lightning offensive”, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. However, the Syrian army said intense fighting was still going on there. Ariha’s fall would leave most of Idlib, bordering Turkey, in rebel hands. Since late March, rebels have claimed a number of cities in the province, including Idlib and Jisr al-Shughour. As well as bordering Turkey, Idlib is also next to Latakia province, a government stronghold and President Bashar al-Assad’s heartland. Meanwhile, the head of the al-Nusra Front said the group had been ordered by al-Qaeda’s overall leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, not to use Syria to launch attacks on the West. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Abu Mohammed al-Julani said al-Nusra Front was focused on capturing Damascus and toppling President Assad. He also promised to protect Syrian minorities that disavowed Mr Assad.

Iraq Headline: ISIS Claims Blasts at Upscale Baghdad Hotels
The death toll from bombings that targeted two prominent hotels in Baghdad a day earlier rose to 15 people, with another 42 wounded, Iraqi authorities said on Friday, as a lawmaker warned that the capital is vulnerable to more attacks. The double bombing occurred late Thursday when two separate car bombs went off in the parking lots of the Cristal, formerly Sheraton, and Babil hotels. Initial reports said 10 people were killed and 27 wounded, but the casualty figures rose overnight. The two explosions shattered windows of the recently renovated hotels and destroyed several cars. Baghdad’s top hotels are usually crowded on Thursday nights with people attending wedding celebrations or parties. The twin attacks targeting heavily secured buildings in the heart of Baghdad demonstrate the boldness and freedom with which militants have been able to operate inside the capital. The two car bombs were detonated by remote control, police said.

Two people were killed in southeast Turkey in a fight between supporters of rival Kurdish parties a week before a parliamentary election, security sources and party officials said. Supporters of Kurdish Islamist party, Huda-Par, and pro-Kurdish leftist Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) clashed in a village in Sirnak province near Turkey’s border with Syria. Two Huda-Par party members were shot dead, party officials told Reuters. A crowd that gathered in front of the hospital chanted slogans and vowed revenge. The HDP is accused by opponents of links to the militant Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has fought a 30-year insurgency against the state in which 40,000 people have been killed. Huda-Par draws support from sympathisers with Turkey’s Hezbollah militant group, which fought the PKK in the 1990s.

The 1st Army headquarters in Istanbul formed the 478-man “Conquest Unit” through its personnel. The ceremonial brigade will be joined by an 84-men Ottoman military band, known in Turkish as the “Mehter,” in the official ceremony for the anniversary, which will be held in Istanbul on May 30 this year, a day later than the conquest’s traditional commemoration date. Costumes of the Conquest Unit, which will march behind the Mehter, will be provided by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. The full set of historic attire will include 14 different costumes to represent different units of the Ottoman military. President Erdoğan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu are both scheduled to attend the event in Istanbul’s Yenikapı Square a week before the June 7 general election.

After vowing to retake Jerusalem if elected, Davutoglu stressed that his country “cannot be an ally or friend of those who desecrated the Al-Aqsa Mosque with their boots” referring to Israelis who had to thwart demonstrations. By this Davutoglu is accusing Israel of desecrating the Temple Mount since it is an abomination in Islam for anyone to enter holy ground unless they are barefooted.

Without it, the IAEA said it cannot “conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities.” After years of deadlock, Iran and the IAEA agreed in November 2013 on a new attempt to probe the accusations. The U.S. and its allies also included the investigation into a to-do list for talks with Iran meant to curb its nuclear programs in exchange for sanctions relief. Washington continues to insist that full lifting of sanctions depends on the IAEA’s ability to thoroughly probe the accusations and deliver an assessment on its findings. Iran denies any work on — or interest — in nuclear arms. It accuses Israel, the United States and other adversaries of providing phony evidence to the agency for the probe. The IAEA is focused on 12 alleged activities that point to Iranian attempts to make such weapons, including suspicions that Tehran worked on the development on a nuclear payload for missiles. The IAEA relaunched its probe two years ago by asking for information on less sensitive work related to nuclear arms allegedly carried out by Iran, with hopes of moving to larger issues later. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Geneva on Saturday in an effort to move the nuclear talks forward ahead of a June 30 target date for a deal. The confidential report issued Friday by the IAEA increased doubts that the agency could issue substantive findings on the allegations by that time. In Washington, State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said the allegations are “one of the issues that we’re working to resolve in the nuclear negotiations.” He urged Iran to “cooperate fully and without delay with the IAEA to resolve all the outstanding issues, in particular those that give rise to concerns about possible military dimensions of Iran’s nuclear program.”

Libya
Headline: ISIS seizes control of airport in Libya’s Sirte
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has seized control of the airport in the city of Sirte after forces of a Tripoli-based Libyan government withdrew, a spokesman said Friday.
Mohamed al-Shami, whose government is not recognised by the international community, said its forces pulled out late Thursday from the airport which had “fallen into the hands of the ISIS organisation.” ISIS itself said it captured the airport, which is also a military base, in a message posted on Twitter. It was the first time that ISIS in Libya has recorded such a military gain. “After they left, Islamic State group fighters entered the base which had been completely emptied of equipment, except for one military plane which is out of use,” said Shami. Gardabiya is located 20 kilometres south of Sirte, hometown of late dictator Muammer Qaddafi who was ousted and killed in Libya’s 2011 uprising. ISIS itself said it took full control of the airport following clashes with forces loyal to the Tripoli government, in a message posted on Twitter. Sirte has been the scene of several months of sporadic fighting between IS and the Fajr Libya (Libya Dawn) militia alliance tasked by the Tripoli government to secure the city.

Luke 21:9 and Matthew 24:7 speak of nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom in the end times. 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. Luke 21:9: wars & commotions; the Greek word here is Akatastasia, meaning instability, a state of disorder, disturbance, confusion (revolutions) Matthew 24:7: the Greek word for nation is Ethnos & refers to various ethnic groups fighting among themselves, where the next sentence in the verse refers to kingdoms (basileiva) fighting one another (not to be confused with an actual kingdom but rather the right or authority to rule over a kingdom)

Headline: Boko Haram clash kills 4 Chad soldiers, 33 Islamists: army
At least seven people died and 12 were injured when twin bomb blasts by suspected Boko Haram militants struck a wedding party in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state on Friday, locals said. The explosions, two minutes apart, hit the remote town of Tashan Alade at about 6 a.m. local time — hours before new president Muhammadu Buhari vowed in his inauguration speech that the “mindless, godless” militants would be defeated. Thousands have been killed and millions displaced during the Islamist group’s six-year insurgency. At the start of the year it controlled a swathe of territory the size of Belgium in the northeast of Africa’s biggest economy and top oil producer. “Seven people have been killed,” an unnamed police source told Reuters. “Relations and friends of the groom and bridegroom were just gathering when the bomb explosions happened,” said Adamu Illiya, a member of an anti-Boko Haram vigilante group, who added that 12 were injured.

Headline: Explosions rock Burundi capital as deadly protests continue
Two explosions shook Burundi’s capital on Friday but no one was hurt, police and a witness said, as deadly unrest against President Pierre Nkurunziza’s bid for a third term in office rumbled on. Pictures circulated on social media showed three charred vehicles in front of a KCB bank branch in downtown Bujumbura, until Friday an area largely free from the demonstrations that erupted on April 26. “We don’t know the cause of the explosion yet,” said a police officer who had visited the scene of the first blast. There were no casualties reported. In late afternoon, a second explosion rocked the same area, close to the post office, a witness said, adding there were no casualties. But a demonstrator was killed in Buterere suburb, where police clashed with protesters who say Nkurunziza’s bid to contest the June 26 presidential poll violates the constitution. A Reuters photographer in the area saw police fire at demonstrators who were hurling rocks at them. In the flashpoint suburb of Cibitoke, police shot at rock-throwing protesters and then used a bulldozer to clear street barricades. The demonstrations, which began a day after Nkurunziza announced plans for a third term, have kindled the biggest political crisis in Burundi since an ethnically-charged civil war ended in 2005.

Headline:Fighters battle Houthis in Yemen’s southern city of Aden
Headline: Houthi rebels kill Yemen capital’s governor: relatives
Heavy fighting erupted in southern Yemen near Aden airport on Friday when a Sunni Muslim militia attacked Shi’ite Houthi rebels in a push to drive Houthis from the district, residents and fighters said. Saudi-led forces also made four air strikes on a military base near the airport, a source in the southern militia told Reuters. The fighting in Khor Maksar has killed four southern militia fighters and 15 Houthis so far, the militia source said. Intense air raids by the Arab alliance were also reported overnight by residents of Saada province, which borders Saudi Arabia in northwestern Yemen. Raids also targeted a weapons storage site in Sanaa, said residents. On Monday, Houthi fighters suffered their first significant setback in the south in two months of civil war when local Sunni militia ejected them from much of the southern city of Dalea, about 170 km (105 miles) north of Aden. The Sunni militias, who call themselves the Southern Resistance, are a loosely allied group of fighters who took up arms against the Houthis.

Headline: US surveillance shows Chinese artillery on artificial islands, officials say
U.S. surveillance images show China has positioned weaponry on at least one of the artificial islands it is developing in the South China Sea, officials say, apparently confirming suspicions that Beijing has been building up the area for military use. A U.S. official confirmed to Fox News on Friday that China has put artillery pieces on its man-made islands. The Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. officials, first reported that images taken about a month ago showed two Chinese motorized artillery pieces on one of the artificial reefs. Although the weaponry would not pose a threat to U.S. planes or ships, it could potentially reach neighboring islands, the officials told the paper. There is no military threat,” one official told the Journal. “But it is about symbolism.” The Journal reported that in recent weeks the artillery has disappeared from view, though it was not clear how of why. U.S. officials said they believed the equipment had either been removed or purposely obscured by the Chinese. The American officials said that the artillery, is within striking range of an island claimed by Vietnam, which that country’s government has armed with various weaponry for some time.

Headline: North Korea Upgrades Main Rocket Launch Site
Headline: Iran, N. Korea ‘collaborate’ on nuclear arms: Iranian opposition
The nuclear-armed rogue dictator state of North Korea has significantly upgraded its main rocket launch site, according to new satellite imagery revealed by a US research institute in a report on Friday. The US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies showed how the Sohae launch site on North Korea’s western coast was expanded late last year so that it can launch larger rockets – and potentially intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. Commercial satellite imagery since then reveals the regime has been working to add a support building and apparently a movable platform, which would enable a rocket to be transferred on rails to the launch pad. “The Sohae facility upgrade program represents a significant investment of financial, material and personnel resources and is another indicator, along with its public statements, that North Korea is determined to pursue its space program,” read the analysis of the institute received by the Associated Press. UN Security Council resolutions ban North Korea from launching rockets, given that the same “peaceful” space program technology is used to fire cataclysmic ballistic missiles.

Headline: California’s largest lake is slipping away amid an epic drought
The Salton Sea is the largest lake in California, 360 square miles of unlikely liquid pooled in the middle of the Sonoran Desert. Now the sea is slipping away. The Salton Sea needs more water — but so does just about every other place in California. And what is happening here perfectly illustrates the fight over water in the West, where epic drought has revived decades-old battles and the simple solutions have all been tried. Allowing the Salton Sea to shrink unabated would be catastrophic, experts say. Dried lake bed, called playa, is lighter and flies farther than ordinary soil. Choking clouds of particulate matter driven by powerful desert winds could seed health problems for 650,000 people as far away as Los Angeles. The effects would be even worse along the lake, where communities already fail federal air-quality standards and suffer the highest asthma rates in the state. But the fate of the Salton Sea depends on a complicated series of deals that pit farms against cities, water rights against water needs, old ways of life against the new. The drought has forced a reconsideration of these agreements, with each side jealously guarding its claim to what little water is left.

Headline: Volcano erupts on southern Japanese island
A volcano erupted on a small island in southern Japan on Friday, spewing black clouds of ash and rock towering into the sky and prompting authorities to tell residents to evacuate the island. No injuries were reported after Mount Shindake erupted about 10 a.m. (0100 GMT) in spectacular fashion, sending dense pyroclastic flows of rock and hot gases seaward, the Japan Meteorological Agency reported. The agency raised the volcano alert level for Kuchinoerabu island, where Shindake is located, to five, the highest on its scale. Shindake also erupted in August last year for the first time since 1980.

May 28, 2015 End Times Signs
Today I listened to a interview done on the Allen Colmes show between Billy Graham’s daughter evangelist Sister Anne Graham Lotz and Allen Colmes. The interview was about Anne Graham saying “‘We’re coming close to end of human history”. Mr. Colmes asked her many questions about her beliefs and why it is she thinks we are at the end of human history. My heart was filled with gladness hearing her preach what is truth to Mr. Colmes. If you are not a believer and you listened to the reasons why Anne Graham says we have reached the end as we know it, let me say this, there are a lot more to the end times signs that she did not give which show us we are at the end. Watch the video first and then I will give you other important signs we are going to see Jesus return for all those who have put their trust in Him soon. I am glad Anne did not give a date as no respectable Pastor or follower of Christ would come out and say on what day and hour Jesus will come from His Children. We don’t need a date to know our time on Earth is drawing to a swift close. You will see why I said this when you see some of the other end time signs Anne Graham did not give in that interview.
I want to give you all those specific end time signs to show you Jesus is not kidding around when He tells us to get ready to meet Him in the air! I was going to make a video giving you all these signs Anne left out but that video would take hours to make. Instead I want to ask all those who don’t know the signs to please download my prophecy book for free at the link below in red and read it. You are going to be blown away by all the information our Lord has given us concerning the end time signs. I repeat, the signs you will be reading about in my book are very specific not just general signs. May Jesus’ Holy Spirit be with you as you read this information. If you have any questions feel free to email me at fjdimora@gmail.com. The Last Chronicles of Planet Earth May 27, 2015 Edition written by Frank DiMora.
One of the signs Anne did not state was the prophecy about the birds, fish, and animals dying off in mass numbers.

Signs of Revelation 6:6 points to people having to work all day for a very small amount of food. In the case of Rev. 6:6 we see wheat and barley being mentioned. In the above Allen Clomes interview with Anne she did not say anything about how fast the food prices are going up each year. One of the most important things that keep this world population eating is what the bees do. However, the bees are dying off in mass numbers just as the birds, fish, and animals are and it is no coincidence. Below you will see the three latest reports on the bees dying.
