The Samson Option
(WMD-Weapons of Mass destruction)

A few weeks ago, WorldNetDaily reported a stunning admission from a Syrian
official. He said that Syria had "learned from the Hezbollah experience last
summer and we can have hundreds of missiles hitting Tel Aviv that will
overwhelm Israel's anti-missile batteries."

He claimed Syria has "proof" Israel is also readying for a war. "We hear about
special Israeli trainings to take Damascus. We see that Israel is re-establishing
bases of the Israeli army in the Golan that are unusual and not needed except for
war. We believe the Israeli government has an interest in confronting Syria to
rehabilitate its image of losing to Hezbollah."

The WorldNetDaily report also says that Damascus believes newly-installed
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, a former prime minister, "wants to prove he
is a military expert." This information is perfectly in line with the official
statements made by both Bashar Assad and Mushen Bilal to several major Arab
newspapers.

Furthermore, London's Daily Telegraph reported June 25 that Tehran was
establishing a missile defense shield for Syria. Iran is also preparing to ship
sophisticated military hardware, including "dozens of medium-range Shahab-3
and Russian-made Scud-C missiles, together with Scud-B missiles."
Syria recently test-fired two Scud-D surface-to-surface missiles that have a range
of about 250 miles. This puts virtually all of Israel's population centers within
range. Analysts say the planned Iranian arms shipment to Syria may be
coordinated with the delivery of advanced Russian fighter jets.

Syria is also known to be producing non-conventional warheads, including those
containing VX gas for delivery via the new longer range and more accurate
Scuds. All Israel's cities are within range of these missiles. Most of them can be
reached in less than three minutes. Syria is gambling that Israel's performance in
the Hezbollah war of June 2006 means that it has seen all Israel has to offer.

Apparently, Bashar Assad now believes Israel can be beaten. Assad is
miscalculating. In the event Syria launches a gas attack on Israel, it's a virtual
certainty that Damascus would be instantly obliterated by Israeli nuclear
weapons.

The thought of being gassed evokes a visceral response among Israel's
Holocaust survivors and their descendants that Damascus wildly underestimates.
Israel has more than 400 nuclear weapons in hidden silos in various places within
its borders, as well as at least two submarines in the Mediterranean that are
launch capable. And you can be certain that in the event of a massive WMD
attack by the Syrians, Israel will respond in kind.

There are two particular codes used by Israeli Defense Forces when planning
worst-case scenario responses.

One is called the "Masada Option." Masada was an ancient fortress taken by
the Romans following a three-year siege. Just before they were overrun, the
defending Jews committed suicide rather than be captured.

The other code term, "The Samson Option," refers to Samson, who said just
before he pulled down the house of the Philistines on himself – and them – "Let
me die with the Philistines." Judges 16:30 records it this way: "Then Samson said,
'Let me die with the Philistines!' And he pushed with all his might, and the
temple fell on the lords and all the people who were in it. So the dead that he
killed at his death were more than he had killed in his life."

That's pretty clear imagery. Israel will not just meekly fade away into destruction.
And it certainly won't die alone, even if it has to destroy itself in the process of
nuking the Middle East.

I once encountered Ariel Sharon in the Knesset in the late 1970s. I asked him if
Israel still had a Masada Option. He boldly announced, "No longer 'Masada
Option' – now 'Samson Option.'"

Moshe Dayan and Golda Meir almost used that "Option" in the first days of the
Yom Kippur War, when it appeared they were going to be overrun.

Dayan gave the code for its use when he told Prime Minister Meir, "Arm the doomsday
weapons, the Third Temple is about to fall."

War with Syria threatens to bring all nations of the Middle East into direct
conflict with Israel – even the supposedly moderate state of Jordan.

Jordan has never recovered from the defeats it suffered at the hands of the Israelis,
particularly in 1967, in which it lost both the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
All of these events may well be setting up a prophecy that I have pondered for
many years. Isaiah predicts a catastrophic end to Damascus that I do not believe
is part of the final war of Armageddon. It appears to be a regional conflict that
will occur shortly before the anti-Christ is unveiled. (It could even be before the
seven year tribulation starts)

Damascus is the oldest continuously inhabited city on earth. It has never been
destroyed despite being besieged and captured many times in history. Its
existence reaches back to the dawn of history.

Yet Isaiah predicts in a series of prophecies concerning ‘the last days’ that Damascus
will suddenly be obliterated and cease being a city forever. Over 2700 years
ago, Isaiah foresaw this terrible event,

“An oracle concerning Damascus: ‘See, DAMASCUS will no longer be a CITY but
will become a heap of ruins.’” (Isa. 17:1 NIV)

Isaiah makes two statements about the destruction Damascus that indicates an
instantaneous event. First, Isaiah says, “The fortified city will disappear from
Ephraim, and royal power from Damascus …” (17:3)

This refers to Damascus, which is in part of land allotted to Ephraim.
The Hebrew word “disappear” used in this context means a sudden, total
annihilation.

Isaiah’s second description of Damascus’ destruction predicts, “In he
evening, sudden terror! Before morning, they are gone! This is the portion of those who loot us (Israel), the lot of those who plunder us.” The great city of Damascus will “disappear” in a night. And it is the Israelites who will do this.

Another important part of this prophecy is that it will occur at a time when some
calamity hits Israel, “In that day the glory of Jacob will fade; the fat of his body will waste away.” (Isa. 4) This indicates some kind of terrible, physical attack.

Here is where I believe all of this could be headed. Israel is going to be hit
with WMDs from Syria that will kill a great number of Israelis.

Israel will immediately implement the “Samson Option” against Damascus – totally
obliterating it. This will cause the Muslim nations to back off out of fear of
also being hit. It will also throw the world into a state of such fear that it
will set them up for the anti-Christ’s arrival with a superhuman plan for
peace and freedom from war. With his satanic powers, he will convince the
world that the only hope is a one-world government under his leadership.

According to my sources, there are fully armed Israeli aircraft sitting on the
runway of Jezreel Valley IDF base with pilots in the cockpits on 24 hour alert.
Normally, these aircraft are stored under ground.

These planes can be over Damascus in 180 seconds from take off.

Syria is playing a very dangerous game, and is being urged on by Iran. If just
one-missile hits Israel with the deadly VX gas, the ‘Samson Option’ will be
instantly implemented.

Never in history have any of these events occurred. More than that, at no time
in recorded history were any of these things even possible. But Israel can now
fulfill these prophecies with the nuclear weapons it possess.

We now realize that there will be a time of war leading into the seven year
tribulation just after the Rapture, and then some time leading out after the seven
year tribulation.

We understand now also that the Revived Roman empire to be the forces of
Islam and Babylon in Iraq and not Rome, although Rome will play it`s part
therein.

Never before have all the causative factors of this event been present at the
same moment in history.

But today, they are the only logical conclusion if current events continue along
their current path. It's a terrifying scenario, but to those who trust that these
signs point to the imminent return of Christ for His Church, it is, nonetheless, an
exciting time to be alive.

Keep looking up. For our Redemption is drawing near! . . . http://NeedGOD.com

Remembering September 11th 2001

Brave and Free
by Julie Yahnke

September 11th, here we are again,
When we lost so many women and men.
The Twin Towers came crashing down,
and the crash was heard the world 'round.

Fire and ashes and broken lives,
The weapons they brought were box-cutters and knives.
They took airplanes into buildings and ground.
And the crashes were heard the world 'round.

We rose in great numbers to help and to cry.
Why, why, should so many die?
Yet we are stronger than they will ever be;
We are the home of the brave, and the land of the free.

For all our lifetime we will fight
For what is good and what is right;
Let the shouts of love for our country resound.
And let it be heard the world 'round.

All of us Need GOD in our lives!

Mayor Bloomberg - ' Sides With Radical Islam ' - Petition for Resignation!

Mayor Bloomberg's staff has personally disinvited Bishop Johnson (both pictured right), after 9 years of inviting Johnson to participate and pray at the annual 9/11 ceremony, because this year Bloomberg arbitrarily and illegally banned clergy for religious reasons.

"Originally I was invited to attend this year's 9/11 ceremony as a first responder, just like I was every year since 2001," Bishop Johnson told me on the phone today. "But then I heard Mayor Bloomberg banned clergy, so it took five phone calls to his office before [a Bloomberg's senior staffer] asked me if I was going to wear my clerical collar. I said I planned to dress just like I did the previous 9 years, so she replied 'they' prefer you not attend. And that was it. I was disinvited."

GOD Bless This Airline Captain ... Kudos! Semper Fi !!!

GOD BLESS THIS AIRLINE CAPTAIN:

He writes: My lead flight attendant came to me and said, "We have an H.R.on this flight." (H.R. Stands for human remains.) " Are they military?" I asked.

'Yes', she said.

'Is there an escort?' I asked.

'Yes, I already assigned him a seat'.

'Would you please tell him to come to the flight deck? You can board him
Early," I said.

A short while later, a young army sergeant entered the flight deck. He was
The image of the perfectly dressed soldier. He introduced himself and I
Asked him about his soldier. The escorts of these fallen soldiers talk
About them as if they are still alive and still with us.

'My soldier is on his way back to Virginia ,' he said. He proceeded to
Answer my questions, but offered no words.

I asked him if there was anything I could do for him and he said no. I told
Him that he had the toughest job in the military and that I appreciated the
Work that he does for the families of our fallen soldiers. The first officer
And I got up out of our seats to shake his hand. He left the flight deck to
Find his seat.

We completed our preflight checks, pushed back and performed an uneventful
Departure. A bout 30 minutes into our flight I received a call from the lead
Flight attendant in the cabin. 'I just found out the family of the soldier
We are carrying, is on board', she said. She then proceeded to tell me that
The father, mother, wife and 2-year old daughter were escorting their son,
Husband, and father home. The family was upset because they were unable to
See the container that the soldier was in before we left. We were on our
Way to a major hub at which the family was going to wait four hours for the
Connecting flight home to Virginia .

The father of the soldier told the flight attendant that knowing his son was
Below him in the cargo compartment and being unable to see him was too much
For him and the family to bear. He had asked the flight attendant if there
Was anything that could be done to allow them to see him upon our arrival.
The family wanted to be outside by the cargo door to watch the soldier being
Taken off the airplane.. I could hear the desperation in the flight
Attendants voice when she asked me if there was anything I could do. 'I'm
On it, I said. I told her that I would get back to her.

A irborne communication with my company normally occurs in the form of e-mail
Like messages. I decided to bypass this system and contact my flight
Dispatcher directly on a secondary radio. There is a radio operator in the
Operations control center who connects you to the telephone of the
Dispatcher. I was in direct contact with the dispatcher. I explained the
Situation I had on board with the family and what it was the family wanted.
He said he understood and that he would get back to me.

Two hours went by and I had not heard from the dispatcher. We were going to
Get busy soon and I needed to know what to tell the family. I sent a text
Message asking for an update. I saved the return message from the
Dispatcher and the following is the text:

'Captain, sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. There is policy on
This now and I had to check on a few things. Upon your arrival a dedicated
Escort team will meet the aircraft. The team will escort the family to the
Ramp and plane side. A van will be used to load the remains with a
Secondary van for the family. The family will be taken to their departure
Area and escorted into the terminal where the remains can be seen on the
Ramp. It is a private area for the family only. When the connecting
Aircraft arrives, the family will be escorted onto the ramp and plane side
To watch the remains being loaded for the final leg home. Captain, most of
Us here in flight control are veterans. Please pass our condolences on to
The family. Thanks.'

I sent a message back telling flight control thanks for a good job. I
Printed out the message and gave it to the lead flight attendant to pass on
To the father. The lead flight attendant was very thankful and told me,
'You have no idea how much this will mean to them.'

Things started getting busy for the descent, approach and landing. A fter
landing, we cleared the runway and taxied to the ramp area. The ramp is
huge with 15 gates on either side of the alleyway. It is always a busy area
with aircraft maneuvering every which way to enter and exit. When we
entered the ramp and checked in with the ramp controller, we were told that
all traffic was being held for us..

'There is a team in place to meet the aircraft, we were told. It looked
like it was all coming together, then I realized that once we turned the
seat belt sign off, everyone would stand up at once and delay the family
from getting off the airplane. A s we approached our gate, I asked the
copilot to tell the ramp controller we were going to stop short of the gate
to make an announcement to the passengers. He did that and the ramp
controller said, 'Take your time.'

I stopped the aircraft and set the parking brake. I pushed the public
address button and said, 'Ladies and gentleman, this is your Captain
speaking I have stopped short of our gate to make a special announcement.
We have a passenger on board who deserves our honor and respect. His Name
is Private XXXXXX, a soldier who recently lost his life. Private XXXXXX is
under your feet in the cargo hold.. Escorting him today is A rmy Sergeant
XXXXXXX. A lso, on board are his father, mother, wife, and daughter. Your
entire flight crew is asking for all passengers to remain in their seats to
allow the family to exit the aircraft first. Thank you.'

We continued the turn to the gate, came to a stop and started our shutdown
procedures.. A couple of minutes later I opened the cockpit door. I found
the two forward flight attendants crying, something you just do not see. I
was told that after we came to a stop, every passenger on the aircraft
stayed in their seats, waiting for the family to exit the aircraft.

When the family got up and gathered their things, a passenger slowly started
to clap his hands. Moments later more passengers joined in and soon the
entire aircraft was clapping. Words of 'God Bless You', ?I'm sorry?, ?thank
you?, ?be proud?, and other kind words were uttered to the family as they
made their way down the aisle and out of the airplane. They were escorted
down to the ramp to finally be with their loved one..

Many of the passengers disembarking thanked me for the announcement I had
made. They were just words, I told them, I could say them over and over
again, but nothing I say will bring back that brave soldier.

I respectfully ask that all of you reflect on this event and the sacrifices
that millions of our men and women have made to ensure our freedom and
safety in these United States of A MERIC A .

THE WASHINGTON TIMES - 1ST PUBLIC NEWSPAPER TO CALL FOR IMPEACHMENT !!!

FINALLY -- SOMEONE IN THE MEDIA HAS STATED THE OBVIOUS. Please share widely!!!

Perhaps other writers will grow SPINES. A strong article and hopefully not the last public newspaper to do so.

President's socialist takeover must be stopped
By Jeffrey T. Kuhner
The Washington Times

President Obama has engaged in numerous high crimes and misdemeanors. The Democratic majority in Congress is in peril as Americans reject his agenda. Yet more must be done: Mr. Obama should be impeached.

He is slowly - piece by painful piece - erecting a socialist dictatorship. We are not there - yet. But he is putting America on that dangerous path. He is undermining our constitutional system of checks and balances; subverting democratic procedures and the rule of law; presiding over a corrupt, gangster regime; and assaulting the very pillars of traditional capitalism. Like Venezuela 's leftist strongman, Hugo Chavez, Mr. Obama is bent on imposing a revolution from above - one that is polarizing America along racial, political and ideological lines. Mr. Obama is the most divisive president since Richard Nixon. His policies are Balkanizing the country. It's time for him to go.

He has abused his office and violated his oath to uphold the Constitution. His health care overhaul was rammed through Congress. It was - and remains - opposed by a majority of the people. It could only be passed through bribery and political intimidation. The Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, the $5 billion Medicaid set-aside for Florida Sen. Bill Nelson - taxpayer money was used as a virtual slush fund to buy swing votes. Moreover, the law is blatantly unconstitutional: The federal government does not have the right to coerce every citizen to purchase a good or service. This is not in the Constitution, and it represents an unprecedented expansion of power.

Yet Obamacare's most pernicious aspect is its federal funding of abortion. Pro-lifers are now compelled to have their tax dollars used to subsidize insurance plans that allow for the murder of unborn children. This is more than state-sanctioned infanticide. It violates the conscience rights of religious citizens. Traditionalists - evangelicals, Catholics, Baptists, Muslims, Orthodox Jews - have been made complicit in an abomination that goes against their deepest religious values. As the law is implemented (as in Pennsylvania ) the consequences of the abortion provisions will become increasingly apparent. The result will be a cultural civil war. Pro-lifers will become deeply alienated from society; among many, a secession of the heart is taking place.
I would add that, he has also granted hundreds of waivers to groups, organizations and companies that supported his canidacy, who claimed hardship if not excluded from Obamacare. dwr
Mr. Obama is waging a frontal assault on property rights. The BP oil spill is a case in point. BP clearly is responsible for the spill and its massive economic and environmental damage to the Gulf. There is a legal process for claims to be adjudicated, but Mr. Obama has behaved more like Mr. Chavez or Russia 's Vladimir Putin: He has bullied BP into setting up a $20 billion compensation fund administered by an Obama appointee. In other words, the assets of a private company are to be raided to serve a political agenda. Billions will be dispensed arbitrarily in compensation to oil-spill victims - much of it to Democratic constituents. This is cronyism and creeping authoritarianism.

Mr. Obama's multicultural socialism seeks to eradicate traditional America . He has created a command-and-control health care system. He has essentially nationalized the big banks, the financial sector, the automakers and the student loan industry. He next wants to pass "cap-and-trade," which would bring industry and manufacturing under the heel of big government. The state is intervening in every aspect of American life - beyond its constitutionally delegated bounds. Under Mr. Obama, the Constitution has become a meaningless scrap of paper.

To provide the shock troops for his socialist takeover, Mr. Obama calls for "comprehensive immigration reform" - granting amnesty to 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens. This would forge a permanent Democratic electoral majority. It would sound the death knell for our national sovereignty. Amnesty rewards lawlessness and criminal behavior; it signifies the surrender of our porous southern border to a massive illegal invasion. It means the death of American nationhood. We will no longer be a country, but the colony of a global socialist empire.

Rather than defending our homeland, Mr. Obama's Justice Department has sued Arizona for its immigration law. He is siding with criminals against his fellow Americans. His actions desecrate his constitutional oath to protect U.S. citizens from enemies foreign and domestic. He is thus encouraging more illegal immigration as Washington refuses to protect our borders. Mr. Obama's decision on this case is treasonous.

As president, he is supposed to respect the rule of law. Instead, his administration has dropped charges of voter intimidation against members of the New Black Panther Party. This was done even though their menacing behavior was caught on tape: men in military garb brandishing clubs and threatening whites at a polling site. A Justice Department lawyer intimately involved in the case, J. Christian Adams, resigned in protest. Mr. Adams says that under Mr. Obama, there is a new policy: Cases involving black defendants and white victims - no matter how much they cry for justice - are not to be prosecuted. This is more than institutionalized racism. It is an abrogation of civil rights laws. The Justice Department's behavior is illegal. It poses a direct threat to the integrity of our democracy and the sanctity of our electoral process.

The gun running of "fast and furious" and continueing attempt to cover up, pass the blame and hide from the responsibility by Obama and Holder is indicitave of Obama's ignoring the Constitution and his lawlessness. It was undoubtedly an effort to create a public outcry for more gun control. In my opinion, his plan also was to cause chaos for the Mexican citizens by letting the guns go into the drug cartels' hands and terrorize the Mexican citizens. Forcing them to flee north across the border. Which would create a need for a refugee program for the fleeing Mexicans. Hence, an urgent need for amnesty for the sudden influx of illegal immigrants. dwr.

Corruption in the administration is rampant. Washington no longer has a government; rather, it has a gangster regime. The Chicago way has become the Washington way. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is a political hit man.. He is an amoral, ruthless operator. It was Mr. Emanuel who reached out to Rep. Joe Sestak, Pennsylvania Democrat, offering a high-ranking job in the hopes of persuading Mr. Sestak to pull out of the primary against Sen. Arlen Specter. It was Mr. Emanuel who offered another government position to Andrew Romanoff to do the same in the Colorado Democratic Senate primary. And it was Mr. Emanuel - as the trial of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has revealed - who acted as the go-between to try to have Valerie Jarrett parachuted into Mr. Obama's former Senate seat. The only question was: What did Mr. Blagojevich want in exchange?

This is not simply sleazy Chicago machine politics. It is the systematic breaking of the law - bribery, attempt to interfere (and manipulate) elections using taxpayer-funded jobs, influence peddling and abuse of power.

The common misperception on the right is that Mr. Obama is another Jimmy Carter: an incompetent liberal whose presidency is being reduced to rubble under the onslaught of repeated failures. The very opposite, however, is true. He is the most consequential president in our lifetime, transforming America into something our Founding Fathers would find not only unrecognizable, but repugnant. Like all radical revolutionaries, he is consumed by the pursuit of power - attaining it, wielding it and maximizing it. Mr.. Obama's fledgling thug state must be stopped.

It is more crucial now than ever that the leadership in the House instigate a committee to investigate every aspect of Obama's administration, his cabinet and his czars. He will stop at nothing, we the people should stop at nothing and turn over every stone Obama has placed to bury our Constitution. dwr.

If Republicans win back Congress in November, they should - and likely will - launch formal investigations into this criminal, scandal-ridden administration. Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican and ranking member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has promised as much. Mr. Obama has betrayed the American people. Impeachment is the only answer. This usurper must fall.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America ’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America ’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”


Oh, did I mention that this quote is from...
-- Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
