Hanan Ashrawi

TEL AVIV – A staunch denier of the Holocaust who long served as the deputy of late PLO leader Yasser Arafat served on the committee that invented the military doctrine used by President Obama as the main justification for U.S. and international airstrikes against Libya.
As WND first reported, billionaire philanthropist George Soros is a primary funder and key proponent of the Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect, the world's leading organization pushing the military doctrine. Several of the doctrine's main founders sit on multiple boards with Soros.
The doctrine and its founders, as WND reported, have been deeply tied to Obama aide Samantha Power, who reportedly heavily influenced Obama in consultations leading to the decision to bomb Libya. Power is the National Security Council special adviser to Obama on human rights.

Now it has emerged that Palestinian legislator Hanan Ashrawi served on the advisory board of the 2001 commission that originally founded Responsibility to Protect.
That commission is called the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty. It invented the term "Responsibility to Protect," while defining its guidelines.
Ashrawi is an infamous defender of Palestinian terrorism. Her father, Daoud Mikhail, was a co-founder of the PLO with Arafat. The PLO was engaged in scores of international terrorist acts and was declared a terrorist group by the U.S. in 1987.
During the First Palestinian Intifada, or war of "resistance" against Israel, in 1988, Ashrawi joined what was known as the Intifada Political Committee, which sought to advance Palestinian goals through both politics and "resistance." She served there until 1993.
In 1991, Arafat appointed Ashrawi to serve as the PLO's Minister of Higher Education and Research. The Palestinian school system is notorious for its glorification of "martyrdom," or suicide bombings, and has long preached against the existence of Israel.

Discover the Networks notes Ashrawi has long defended the Hamas terror group as a legitimate component of the Palestinian "political spectrum."
She has stated she does not "think of Hamas as a terrorist group."
"We coordinate [with Hamas] politically," she said in April 1993, "the people we know and talk to are not terrorists."
In 1998 Ashrawi founded MIFTAH, a nonprofit that seeks to undermine Israel's legitimacy and refers to that Jewish state's 1948 creation as "Al Nakba," or "The Catastrophe."
Ashrawi has long been a Holocaust denier. In the July 2, 1998, edition of the official Palestinian Authority newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, she published an article calling the Holocaust "a deceitful myth, which the Jews have … exploited to get sympathy."
In 2001 Ashrawi became a spokeswoman for the Arab League.
Notably, Amre Moussa, Secretary General of the Arab League, served as an adviser to the same 2001 commission that invented the "Responsibility to Protect" doctrine.
Ashrawi, meanwhile, was a protégé and later colleague and close friend of late Columbia University Professor Edward Said, another notorious apologist for Palestinian terrorism.
Said was replaced by Rashid Khalidi, a close personal friend to Obama.
Soros funded doctrine
With Ashrawi on the advisory board, the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty first defined the "Responsibility to Protect" doctrine.
In his address to the nation on Monday, Obama specifically cited the military doctrine as the main justification for U.S. and international airstrikes against Libya.
Indeed, the Libya bombings have been widely regarded as a test of "Responsibility to Protect."
"Responsibility to Protect," or "Responsibility to Act" as cited by Obama is a set of principles, now backed by the United Nations, based on the idea that sovereignty is not a privilege but a responsibility that can be revoked if a country is accused of "war crimes," "genocide," "crimes against humanity" or "ethnic cleansing."
The term "war crimes" has at times been indiscriminately used by various U.N.-backed international bodies, including the International Criminal Court, or ICC, which applied it to Israeli anti-terror operations in the Gaza Strip. There has also been fear the ICC could be used to prosecute U.S. troops.
The Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect is the world's leading champion of the military doctrine.
Two of global group's advisory board members, Ramesh Thakur and Gareth Evans, are the original founders of the "Responsibility" doctrine, with the duo even coining the term "Responsibility to Protect."
Soros' Open Society is one of only three nongovernmental funders of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect. Government sponsors include Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Rwanda and the U.K.
Board members of the group include former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, former Ireland President Mary Robinson and South African activist Desmond Tutu. Robinson and Tutu have recently made solidarity visits to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip as members of a group called The Elders, which includes former President Jimmy Carter.
Annan once famously stated, "State sovereignty, in its most basic sense, is being redefined – not least by the forces of globalization and international co-operation. States are ... instruments at the service of their peoples and not vice versa."
Obama cited doctrine multiple times
Aside from his direct citation of the "Responsibility" doctrine in his address explaining why the U.S. is acting against Libya, Obama alluded to the doctrine four more times in his speech.
The following are relevant excerpts from his address, with references to U.S. "responsibility" in bold:

• In this effort, the United States has not acted alone. Instead, we have been joined by a strong and growing coalition. This includes our closest allies – nations like the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Italy, Spain, Greece and Turkey – all of whom have fought by our side for decades. And it includes Arab partners like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, who have chosen to meet their responsibility to defend the Libyan people.
• Last night, NATO decided to take on the additional responsibility of protecting Libyan civilians.
• To brush aside America's responsibility as a leader and – more profoundly – our responsibilities to our fellow human beings under such circumstances would have been a betrayal of who we are.
• The task that I assigned our forces – to protect the Libyan people from immediate danger and to establish a No Fly Zone – carries with it a U.N. mandate and international support. So would the costs and our share of the responsibility for what comes next.

Soros: Right to 'penetrate nation-states' borders'
Soros himself outlined the fundamentals of Responsibility to Protect in a 2004 Foreign Policy magazine article entitled "The People's Sovereignty: How a New Twist on an Old Idea Can Protect the World's Most Vulnerable Populations."
In the article, Soros said "true sovereignty belongs to the people, who in turn delegate it to their governments."
"If governments abuse the authority entrusted to them and citizens have no opportunity to correct such abuses, outside interference is justified," Soros wrote. "By specifying that sovereignty is based on the people, the international community can penetrate nation-states' borders to protect the rights of citizens.
"In particular, the principle of the people's sovereignty can help solve two modern challenges: the obstacles to delivering aid effectively to sovereign states and the obstacles to global collective action dealing with states experiencing internal conflict," he concluded.
More Soros ties
Responsibility founders Evans and Thakur served as co-chair, with Gregorian on the advisory board of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty, which invented the term "Responsibility to Protect."
In his capacity as co-chair, Evans also played a pivotal role in initiating the fundamental shift from sovereignty as a right to "sovereignty as responsibility."
Evans presented "Responsibility to Protect" at the July 23, 2009, United Nations General Assembly, which was convened to consider the principle.
Evans sits on multiple boards with Soros, including the Clinton Global Initiative.
Thakur is a fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation, which is in partnership with an economic institute founded by Soros.
Soros is on the executive board of the International Crisis Group, a "crisis management organization" for which Evans serves as president-emeritus.
WND previously reported how the group has been petitioning for the U.S. to normalize ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, the main opposition in Egypt, where longtime U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak was recently toppled.
Aside from Evans and Soros, the group includes on its board Egyptian opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei, as well as other personalities who champion dialogue with Hamas, a violent offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
WND also reported the crisis group has also petitioned for the Algerian government to cease "excessive" military activities against al-Qaida-linked groups and to allow organizations seeking to create an Islamic state to participate in the Algerian government.
Soros' own Open Society Institute has funded opposition groups across the Middle East and North Africa, including organizations involved in the current chaos.
'One World Order'
WND also reported that doctrine founder Thakur recently advocated for a "global rebalancing" and "international redistribution" to create a "New World Order."
"Toward a new world order," Thakur wrote in a piece last March in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, "Westerners must change lifestyles and support international redistribution."
He was referring there to a United Nations-brokered international climate treaty in which he argued, "Developing countries must reorient growth in cleaner and greener directions."
In the opinion piece, Thakur then discussed recent military engagements and how the financial crisis has impacted the U.S.
"The West's bullying approach to developing nations won't work anymore – global power is shifting to Asia," he wrote.
"A much-needed global moral rebalancing is in train," he added.
Thakur continued: "Westerners have lost their previous capacity to set standards and rules of behavior for the world. Unless they recognize this reality, there is little prospect of making significant progress in deadlocked international negotiations."
Thakur contended "the demonstration of the limits to U.S. and NATO power in Iraq and Afghanistan has left many less fearful of 'superior' western power."
Power pushes doctrine
Doctrine founder Evans, meanwhile, is closely tied to Obama aide Samantha Power.
Evans and Power have been joint keynote speakers at events in which they have championed the "Responsibility to Protect" principle together, such as the 2008 Global Philanthropy Forum, also attended by Tutu.
Then last November, at the International Symposium on Preventing Genocide and Mass Atrocities, Power, attending as a representative of the White House, argued for the use of "Responsibility to Protect" alongside Evans.

Is Obama purging God from America 'by design'? 'There's no way in court that would not be seen as willful, deliberate intent'

David Barton

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa – A leading Christian historian told WND he believes President Obama is engaged in a pattern of "willfully, deliberately" repudiating America's Christian heritage.
As WND reported, Obama has been caught numerous times – seven, by WND columnist Chuck Norris' count – omitting the phrase "endowed by their Creator" when quoting the Declaration of Independence and misquoting the national motto "In God We Trust" in official White House communication.
Potential presidential candidate and WND columnist Herman Cain said he believes the omissions are "intentional," and historian David Barton told WND at the Iowa Renewal Project's Pastor's Policy Briefing that he agrees:
Here's the classic book on USA's Christian heritage: New edition of 100-year-old treasure reveals nation's true religious history
"The first time or two I thought, 'Well, he's flustered, he wasn't thinking.' But seven times? There's no way. Especially when he was called on it," Barton said. "Congressmen sent him a letter challenging him on it. There's no way it's matter of ignorance or slip or excuse at that point. I believe it's by design and by intent.
"I gave him the benefit of the doubt a few times, I waited," Barton continued, "but there's no way in a court of law that would not be seen as willful, deliberate intent."
Barton, head of Wallbuilders, an organization dedicated to presenting America's moral, religious and constitutional foundations, said unlike previous presidents – notably Founders like Washington and Adams – who publicly proclaimed God's hand in America, Obama has been going out of his way to not acknowledge the Almighty.
"You remember when he spoke at Georgetown, he had them cover the Christian symbols [behind him on the stage]?" Barton asked. "There's a pattern. When he misstates the national motto, it's not just the Declaration omission of 'their Creator.' When he became president, one of the first things that happened on the White House website was they took off the faith-based office. That kind of reaction is circumstantial, but in a court of law it would convict him."

The Declaration of Independence states: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
But when Obama omits "by their Creator," Barton explained, it reflects a fundamental shift in political thought, away from the Founders' vision of a government protecting God-given rights toward a nation creating government-given rights.
The difference, Barton told WND, is critical:
"Congress says, 'Hey, we gave you a right to health care.' No, no, no. If you gave a right, you can take away a right," Barton said. "That specific clause out of the Declaration, how the Founders did it, if you do not have that philosophy you will never have a limited government. Because limited government is not based on the size of the government or even the amount it spends, it's based on the jurisdiction it gets into. And if you let government start being the determiner of rights, then it can restrict or violate rights, do anything it wants, as we've seen all over Europe."
U.S. Rep. J. Randy Forbes of Virginia, one of 42 bipartisan members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, had expressed a similar sentiment:
"These omissions and inaccuracies are a part of a larger pattern we are seeing with the president where he is inaccurately reflecting America and undercutting important parts of our nation's history," said Forbes. "Trust in God is embedded in the fabric of society and history in the United States.
"If we allow these threads to be pulled, we will begin to unravel the very freedoms that birthed America," he said.
When WND's correspondent at the White House, Les Kinsolving, last year raised the question about Obama's omission of "their Creator" in his speeches, then-Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, "I haven't seen the comments, Lester, but I can assure you the president believes in the Declaration of Independence."
One of the incidents is on tape, with Obama's omission appearing shortly past the 22-minute mark:

Other speeches, with references to "their Creator" missing, followed.
Other references to America's Christian heritage have been excised at the home of the Liberty Bell, the Supreme Court and even the Washington Monument.
Chaplain Todd DuBord, who works with Chuck Norris' multiple organizations, has documented the ongoing trend at his National Treasures website.

Donald Trump: Obama presidency possibly illegal 'To be honest with you, I want him to have a birth certificate'

Billionaire developer and possible Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is now suggesting Barack Obama's presidency could be "illegal" if legitimate proof is not provided demonstrating the commander in chief is indeed a "natural born citizen" of the U.S.
Trump's use of the "I" word came last night during a phone interview with Greta Van Susteren of the Fox News Channel.


"To be honest with you, I want him to have a birth certificate," Trump said, "because [otherwise] that would mean that his presidency was, I guess you'd have to say, illegal. You have to be born in the United States. I hope that he was born in the United States. I hope – but I want to get rid of the word hope, I want to know for sure – I hope that he was born in the United States and I hope this doesn't become a big issue."

Trump defended so-called "birthers," explaining, "They just want to see the president was born in this country."
He also called into question Hawaii's Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie for suggesting he remembered when Obama was born nearly a half century ago.
"I'll bet he didn't even know the parents 50 years ago," Trump said. "I think it's absolutely insane. What he's doing is taking a bullet for the party by making a statement that, 'I remember.'"
Trump also wondered why no doctors or nurses have come forward to announce their presence at Obama's birth.
"Here's the president of the United States, and no doctor, no nurse, nobody's come forward saying, 'I delivered that beautiful baby.'"

Earlier in the day, Trump released an image of his own hospital-generated birth certificate from the Jamaica Hospital in Queens, N.Y., and brought up Obama's spending of large sums of money to keep the history of his early years under wraps. He followed later by releasing his official, vault-copy birth certificate.
"He spent millions of dollars trying to get away from this issue. Millions of dollars in legal fees trying to get away from this issue. I brought it up just routinely. All of a sudden a lot of facts are emerging, and I'm starting to wonder myself whether he was born in this country," Trump said on "Fox & Friends."
"This guy either has a birth certificate or he doesn't," he added. "I didn't think it was such a big deal, but I will tell you it's turning out to be a very big deal. Because people now are calling me from all over saying please don't give up on this issue.

As WND reported just a week ago, not even one person in 10 says Barack Obama has shown that he is eligible to be president, according to a new scientific poll that also reveals political independents have less tolerance than even Republicans for his efforts to obfuscate the issue. Another 32 percent would disregard the questions entirely, concluding they are not valid.
While much of the concern centers on Obama's birth certificate – he's refused to release his original document specifying the birth hospital and doctor's name, substituting instead a computer-generated summary of information purportedly in the Hawaii state archives – there are numerous other documents that remain unavailable.
These are the types of records that typically are available for major political leaders such as someone occupying the Oval Office. They include his kindergarten records, his Punahou school records, his Occidental College records, his Columbia University records, his Columbia thesis, his Harvard Law School records, his Harvard Law Review articles, his scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, his passport, his medical records, his files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records and his adoption records.

Did China's Monster Three Gorges Dam Slow The Rotation Of The Earth..

The Myth: The filling of the reservoir behind Three Gorges Dam in China changed the rotation of the Earth.
The Evidence: Three Gorges Dam, China crosses the Yangtze River in Hubei province, China. It the world’s largest hydroelectric power station by total capacity, which will be 22,500 MW when completed. When the water level is maximum at 175 meters (574 ft) over sea level (91 meters (299 ft) above river level), the reservoir created by the dam is about 660 kilometers (410 mi) in length and 1.12 kilometers (0.70 mi) in width on average. The total surface area of the reservoir is 1045 square kilometers, and it will will flood a total area of 632 square kilometers, of land.  The reservoir will contain about 39.3 cu km (9.43 cubic miles) of water. That water will weigh more than 39 trillion kilograms (42 billion tons).
A shift in a mass of that size would affect the rotation of the Earth due to a phenomena known as the moment of inertia, which is the inertia of a rigid rotating body with respect to its rotation. The moment of inertia of an object about a given axis describes how difficult it is to change its angular motion about that axis. The longer the distance of a mass to its axis of rotation, the slower it will spin. You may not know it, but you see examples of this in everyday life.  For example, a figure skater attempting to spin faster will draw her arms tight to her bodies, and thereby reduce her moment of inertia. Similarly, a diver attempting to somersault faster will bring his body into a tucked position.
Raising 39 trillion kilograms of water 175 meters above sea level will increase the Earth’s moment of inertia and thus slow its rotation. However, the effect would extremely small.  NASA scientists calculated that shift of such as mass would increase the length of day by only 0.06 microseconds and make the Earth only very slightly more round in the middle and flat on the top. It would shift the pole position by about two centimeters (0.8 inch). Note that a shift in any object’s mass on the Earth relative to its axis of rotation will change its moment of inertia, although most shifts are too small to be measured (but they can be calculated).
The Verdict: True.

Here is an absolute sign from God: The Hiroshima 8 Survivors His hand of protection and his affirmation of Fatima

Evidence:"During the Second World War atomic bombs were dropped on two
  Japanese cities: Hiroshima and Nagasaki. An extraordinary thing happened at both sites.
-A unique group of men survived a nuclear blast that killed nearly all other people even at over ten times further from the blast.
      Absolutely unexplainable by scientific means.
-The group was unique, singled out: Catholic clergy living the message of Fatima
-It was reproducible.  It happened twice: Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Both sets of survivors were Catholic religious.
-Most other buildings were leveled to the ground, even at maybe 3 times the distance,  but their house stood (apparently with some windows intact!)
-All other people (except for a handful of scattered sole survivors), even at 3 times the distance from the explosion died instantly.  Those within a radius TEN times the distance at which the Jesuits were exposed died from radiation within days.
-The survivors, a group of Catholic clergy, were examined by scientists over 200 times over the next 30 years with no ill effects found.
 
 THE EVENT:
 In Hiroshima, a small  community of Jesuit Fathers lived in a church
 house near the parish church, situated only eight blocks from the
 center of the bomb blast.
 When Hiroshima was destroyed by the atomic bomb,
 all eight members of the small Jesuit community escaped unscathed,
  while every other person who was within a radius of roughly one and a
  half kilometers from the center of the explosion died immediately. The
 church house where the Jesuits lived was still standing, while the
 buildings in  every direction from it were leveled. (This coincides with the
bombing  of Nagasaki where St. Maximilian Kolbe had established a
 Franciscan Friary which  was also unharmed and also had no effects from
 The Nagasaki bomb.)
 
 Testimony of a survivor:
 Father Hubert Shiffer was one of these eight Jesuit survivors. He
 was 30 when the atomic bomb exploded at Hiroshima and lived
  another 33 years in good health. He recounted his experiences at
 Hiroshima during the Eucharistic  Congress held in Philadelphia (USA)
 in 1976. At that time, all eight members  of the Jesuit community were
 still alive.
 Fr. Shiffer, on the morning of August 6, 1945, he had just
 finished  Mass, went into the rectory and sat down at the breakfast
 table, and had  just sliced a grapefruit, and had just put his spoon
 into the grapefruit  when there was a bright flash of light. His first
thought was that it was an explosion in the harbor (this was a major
 port where the Japanese refueled their submarines.)
 Then, in the words of Fr. Schiffer: "Suddenly, a terrific explosion
 filled the air with one bursting thunderstroke. An invisible force
 lifted me from the chair, hurled me through the air, shook me,
 battered me, whirled me 'round and  round like a leaf in a gust of
 autumn wind." The next thing he remembered, he opened his eyes and he
  was laying on the ground. He looked around and there was NOTHING
  in any direction: the railroad station and buildings in all directions
 were leveled to the ground.
 The only physical harm to himself was that he could feel a few
  pieces of glass in the back of his neck. As far as he could tell,
 there was nothing else physically wrong with himself.  After the
conquest of the Americans, their
 army doctors and scientists explained to him that his body
 would begin to deteriorate because of the radiation. To the doctors
 amazement, Fr. Schiffer's body contained no radiation or ill-effects
 from the bomb.
  Conclusion: There are no physical laws to explain why the
 Jesuits were untouched in the Hiroshima airblast. There is no other
 actual or test data where a structure such as this was not totally
 destroyed at this standoff distance by an atomic weapon. All who were
 at this range from the epicenter should have received enough radiation
 to be dead within at most a matter of minutes if nothing else happened
 to them. There is no known way to design a uranium-235 atomic bomb,
 which could leave such a large discrete area intact while destroying
 everything around it immediately outside the fireball (by shaping the
plasma).
 Not only did they all survive with (at most) relatively
 minor injuries, but they all lived well past that awful day
 with no radiation sickness, no loss of hearing, or any other visible
 long term defects or maladies. Naturally, they were interviewed
 numerous  times (Fr. Schiffer said over 200 times) by scientists and
 health care people about their remarkable experience.  The eight
 Jesuits  say "we believe that we survived because we were living the
 message of Fatima.  We lived and prayed the rosary daily in that home."
 Fr. Shiffer feels that he received a protective shield from the Blessed
 Mother which protected him from all radiation and ill-effects.
 Fr.  Schiffer attributes this to devotion to the Blessed Mother, and his
 daily Fatima Rosary; "in that house the Holy Rosary was recited
together every day."
 Of course the secular  scientists are speechless and incredulous
 at  this explanation - and they are sure there is some "real"
 explanation  - but at the same time over 50 years later the scientists
 are still absolutely bamboozled when it comes to finding a plausible
 scenario to explain the missionary's unique escape from the hellish
 power of that bomb. From a scientific viewpoint, what happened to those
 Jesuits at  Hiroshima still defies all human logic from the laws of
 physics as understood today (or at any time in the future). It must be
 concluded that  some other (external) force was present whose power
 and/or capability to transform energy and matter as it relates to
 humans is beyond  current comprehension; a plausibility argument for
 the existence of a Creator who left his "calling card" at Hiroshima.

Jesuit Priests Survive Atomic Bomb
Speaking on American TV, the German Jesuit Father Hubert Shiffner gave the startling answer:
 "In that house, the Rosary was prayed every day. In that house we
  were living the Message of Fatima," he said.
 How does one live the Fatima message?
 1. People must first CONVERT: turn away from sin and go back to God.
 This entails the usual demands of the Christian life like prayer,
reading Scripture, obedience to the commandments, concern for others.
 Beyond it there are special requests from the Blessed Virgin:
 2. DAILY OFFERING. "Offer up each day whatever God requests of
 you... for the conversion of sinners and reparation for sin."
 3. REPARATION. "Pray, fast, and make sacrifices for your sins and for
  the sins of all sinners and unbelievers."
 4. EUCHARIST. Frequent prayer, adoration and reparation before Jesus
  in the Blessed Sacrament.
 5. FIVE FIRST SATURDAYS. "Confess, offer Mass, receive Holy
 Communion on the First Saturday of five consecutive months... with the
  intention of making reparation to me..."
 6. ROSARY. "Each day recite the prayers of the rosary, five decades
 at least -- meditating on the mysteries -- to make reparation for
 sin."
7. CONSECRATION. Consecrate yourself to the Sacred heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This means entrusting yourself to
 their care and protection. Wear the brown scapular as a sign.

What follows is Dr. Stephen Rinehart's commentary on the
 subject of the Hiroshima atomic bomb blast.  Within the U.S.
 Department of Defense Stephen Rinehart is widely recognized as
 international expert in this field.

---

 Rinehart's Testimony: A quick calculation says at 1 kilometer the bulk
 temperature was in excess of 20,000 to 30,000 degrees F
 (transients in microseconds greater than 100,000F perhaps as high as
1,000,000 F  within 1 kilometer - depends on construction details and
 you are inside the fireball) and the blast wave would have hit at sonic
 velocity with pressures on building (at one kilometer) greater than 600
 psi. If the Jesuits (at one kilometer from the geometric epicenter)
 were  outside the atomic bomb's "plasma" their residence should
  still have been utterly destroyed (temp > 2000 F and airblast
 pressures > 100 psi).
 Unreinforced masonry or brick walls (representative of
 commercial construction) are destroyed at 3 psi, which will
 also cause ear damage and burst windows. At ten psi, a human will
  experience severe lung and heart damage, burst eardrums and at 20 psi
  your limbs can be blown off. Your head will be blown off by 40 psi
 and no human would be alive because your skull would be crushed.
 All the cotton clothes would be on fire at 350 F and
your lungs would be inoperative within a minute breathing air (even for
 a few seconds) at these temperatures. No way any human could have
  survived nor should anything have left been standing at one kilometer.  At ten times the distance, about ten to
 fifteen kilometers I saw the brick walls standing from an
 elementary school school and I think there were a few badly burned
 survivors; all died within fifteen years of some form of cancer).
(Examining pictures taken from a panoramic view from epicenter of the
 blast at Shima Hospital looking for the Jesuit’s house) did show some kind of two story house totally
 intact (at least from what I could make out and it looked to me the windows were in place!?). Also
there was a church with walls still standing but roof gone a few hundred yards away!?
 The Department of Defense never commented officially on this
and I suspect it was classified and never discussed in open literature.
 I think it is possible the Jesuits were asked not to say anything either at the time.
 
Biblical Precedent:
Dan 3:19  Then Nebuchadnez'zar was full of fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
Dan 3:20  And he ordered certain mighty men of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
Dan 3:21  Then these men were bound in their mantles, their tunics, their hats, and their other garments, and they were cast into the burning fiery furnace.
Dan 3:22  Because the king's order was strict and the furnace very hot, the flame of the fire slew those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego.
Dan 3:23  And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, fell bound into the burning fiery furnace.
(3:24) And they walked about in the midst of the flames, singing hymns to God and blessing the Lord.

Rush: 'I wish Rubio would run for president' Republican's rejection of short-term budget extensions wins ringing 'endorsement' Read more: Rush: 'I wish Rubio would run for president'

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.

Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio's fiery comments on short-term federal budget extensions have earned him an influential supporter, should he consider a presidential run: talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh.
"Marco Rubio says, 'What is this continuing resolution crap? I didn't come in here to fund the government every two to three weeks,'" Limbaugh paraphrased on his program today. "I wish the guy would run for president."
Shock the Washington establishment by participating in the "No More Red Ink" campaign and shut down all new plans for bailouts, "stimulus" spending and even the funding for Obamacare.
Limbaugh's impassioned, though informal, endorsement can be heard below:

Limbaugh was praising Rubio for announcing he would "no longer support short-term budget plans" that float federal spending while Congress continues to debate a fuller budget that – whether counting Republican or Democrat proposals – still includes hundreds of billions in deficit spending, something Rubio called "an absurd pattern that has clearly developed in Washington."
In a Red State editorial, Rubio declared, "All this has led to a very predictable outcome: Washington politicians of both parties scrambling to put together two- and three-week plans to keep funding the government, while not fundamentally changing the behavior that has gotten us into this mess to begin with."
He continued his blasts against the short-term congressional resolutions to extend spending, or CRs, as they're commonly called: "Running our government on the fumes of borrowed spending is unacceptable, short-sighted and dangerous. I commend the efforts of House and Senate Republican leaders to deal with this, but I did not come to the U.S. Senate to be part of some absurd political theatre."
Rubio joins a list of senators, including Rand Paul, R-Ky., Jim DeMint, R-S.C., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, who Fox News reports have also vocalized opposition to the stopgap budget measures.
In the House, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., told reporters yesterday that House Republicans "hope and intend" for this week's vote on a three-week budget to be the final such extension.
Last week, Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., went further, pledging the same stance Rubio took yesterday: No more CRs.
"I will NOT be voting for another short-term CR," he tweeted, according to a Politico report. "There is a confrontation coming on this budget, and the sooner we get to it the better."

Your taxes are now funding the Nation of Islam campuses

A Chicago charter school that recently received a grant of federal funds was founded and is led by activists who have been closely tied to the Nation of Islam while its campuses are named after former Nation of Islam activists and black radicals, WND has learned.
The federal government allocated $47,766 of funds from the Recovery Act for a food program for the Betty Shabazz International Charter Academy. This includes the 2010-2011 school year in which the funds were distributed to the USDA's Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program for the school.
Shabazz, which has classes for children in kindergarten through 12th grade, is one of about 40 schools in Illinois to be awarded the "recovery" funds as part of the food program, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.

Shabazz Charter School's official profile says the academy "incorporates culture from countries throughout the continent of Africa and throughout the Diaspora into our rigorous and competitive curriculum."
Laini Madhubuti, the charter school's public relations manager, told WND in a phone interview the school has no religious affiliation whatsoever. Madhubuti is also the daughter of the school's founder and leader, who has been close to the Nation of Islam. She said the school is not connected to the Nation of Islam.
Named after radicals
The school is named after Betty Shabazz, an early Nation of Islam activist best known as the wife of slain black nationalist leader Malcolm X. Shabazz, born Betty Dean Sanders, met her future husband in 1956 at a Nation of Islam lecture in Harlem, later converting to Islam.
Malcolm X departed from the Nation of Islam leadership before his assassination to organize a politically oriented "black nationalist party.” Some reports noted Shabazz herself returned to the orbit of the Nation of Islam after her husband's death.

Shabazz originally harbored resentment toward the Nation, but she agreed to a so-called "peace deal" with Louis Farrakhan in 1995. That truce was brokered by Haki Madhubuti, one of the founders of the charter school.
One of three campuses of the Betty Shabazz International Charter Academy is named after Barbara A. Sizemore, who was the first African-American woman to head a major school system when she was chosen as superintendent of D.C. schools in 1973. Sizemore died at the age of 77 in 2004.
A Washington Post obituary noted Sizemore called standardized tests "the new lynching tool" for the aspirations of African-Americans.
She wrote in 1989 that "it seems the best way to eliminate tests is to help minorities to pass them." She added, "Tests can then become the diagnostic tools they were meant to be instead of the mechanism for separating winners and losers."
Sizemore clearly was a black nationalist activist.
Marxist professor Manning Marable wrote in the 1981 SWP Education For Socialists Bulletin that Sizemore rejected a compromise resolution that aimed to temper a new political party being formed at the time by the National Black Political Assembly. The compromise sought to build a broad base coalition within 90 days of an August 1980 planning meeting.
Wrote Marable: "A dramatic turn of events occurred several hours later with the Friday evening plenary address of Dr. Barbara Sizemore. Sizemore publicly repudiated the compromise in a fiery speech. 'The revolution is now, and not in 90 days,' she declared firmly."
Founded by Nation of Islam supporters
The charter school was co-founded by Carol D. Lee and her husband, Don L. Lee, who changed his name to Haki Madhubuti. It was also founded by Anthony Daniels-Halisi, who currently serves as the school's chief financial officer.
Madhubuti, a black nationalist poet, has helped broker deals for Farrakhan, including the peace with Shabazz, sealed publicly at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York.
"It (the peace deal) was broadcast to a closed-circuit audience around the world," wrote Jonathan Tilove of the Newhouse News Service.
Madhubuti hosted a meeting at his Third World Press, an African American-centered nationalist press, for the planning of Farrakhan's 1995 Million Man March.
In the interview with WND, Madhubuti's daughter did not deny her father's known history with the Nation of Islam. However, she stressed he has never been a member of Farrakhan's controversial group.
Some of the staff have been connected to the Nation of Islam, as well. Elaine Mosely, the school's president, was quoted in Farrakhan's Roll Call magazine saying of Black History Month, "We have a responsibility to honor the original idea, our contributions to civilization."
That same article pointed out that Black History Month neglects certain parts of black's "historical" record, which it said is a "body of knowledge that was feared by Whites" and that "challenged White supremacy."
Among the "history" left out, according to Farrakhan's magazine, was that "Black man and woman are the Original people of the earth and that all races have their origin through the Black Man and Woman."
The school's chief operating officer, Anthony Taifa Daniels-Halisi, said in 2002 he grew up in the Organization Us movement led by black nationalist and former convict Maulana Karenga, who is now professor and chair of the Department of Black Studies at California State University.
During the 60s, Us became a target of the FBI and was put on a series of lists describing it as dangerous, revolutionary and committed to armed struggle in the Black Power Movement. Us, a rival to the Black Panther Party, developed a youth component with para-military aspects called the Simba Wachanga, which advocated and practiced community self-defense and service to the masses.
Arms in fist; 'Liberation' ceremony
The Shabazz school has taken on a militant tone.
"In starting schools for Black children, the Madhubutis continue to follow a mandate of Malcolm X, who warned against allowing the oppressors of Black people to teach Black children," wrote Regina Jennings in the November 2002 Journal of Black Studies.
The Shabazz charter school was originally founded by Madhubuti in 1972, at the height of the black power movement, as the New Concept School.
Under state law, an existing private school cannot become a charter school. So the New Concept was morphed in 1998 into a preschool program with the charter school re-emerging as the Betty Shabazz International Academy.
Madhubuti's New Concept school was openly revolutionary.
Every morning the students would recite a pledge that begins, "We are African people…Struggling for national liberation."
"Our commitment is to self-determination, self-defense, and self-respect for our race," the chant continues. "I pledge to my African nation, to the building of a better people and a better world."
The Chicago Reader reported in 1997 that New Concept aimed to teach black children a narrative populated by African and African-American heroes and embellished with African rituals, fables, and values.
"Critics decry African-centered schools as exotic institutions turning out tomorrow's angry revolutionaries," reported the Chicago Reader.
The Shabazz charter school has similar rituals to its precursor, New Concept.
Chicago's local ABC affiliate reported students start each day "with African drumming and self-affirming chants."
The author of the "Quality in Education" blog recounted attending a June 2010 ceremony at which Shabazz students seemed to raise their fists in a display of black power that is strikingly reminiscent of New Concept's display.
"Inside the cafeteria there was an inner single and outer circle was a combination of students and staff. There were drums that had an African culture to it. They were wearing African type clothing and the beat they were playing was recognizable as African culture as well. There was a series of clapping and singing that I could not recognize because it was in African language," reported the blog's author.
"During the ceremony they brought in an African flag and with one fist risen in the air they, in unison, said their pledge to their future. I did not get the pledge words exact, but it spoke of liberation and being risen (power).
"Also during the ceremony there actions that all the students did to stand at attention when it was called. They stood at attention by clutching your right hand in a fist and then crossing arms and tucking the fist under the arm and the other hand grasping your right arm. They even had a relaxed state, where their fist would be held by their hand in front."
Laini Madhubuti claimed to WND that the Shabazz school pledge states that the students will do their best that day to learn and be helpful when they go home.
