  1. "America never was one nation under God..it was one nation under freemasons.." shouts a female protester from the podium of the House of Congress for all Congressmen to hear..on Oct. 16 Wednesday night after 11:30 PM just after the majority of Congress voted in favor of the deal House stenographer sent for mental exam after floor rant: ‘Praise be to God’ By Cheryl K. Chumley With Stephen Dinan October 17, 2013 http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/17/house-stenographer-sent-mental-exam-after-floor-ra/#ixzz2hzi6kqiy House stenographer Dianne Reidy stunned congressional members late Wednesday evening at the tail end of the government shutdown vote [a vote in favor of opening & funding by debt the US Gov. apparently she was protesting the Yes vote or endorsing it, who knows?] when she wound her way to the podium, ranting about God, Free Masons and the inability of the nation to serve two masters. “Praise be to God,” Ms. Reidy said. “He will not be mocked. He will not be mocked. Don’t touch me. He will not be mocked.” Fox News said Ms. Reidy is well-liked on Capitol Hill — hardly the radical partisan type — and her interruption caused several members to express concern for her mental health. The cable network also reported that Ms. Reidy was sent for a mental evaluation shortly after the incident. Among her statements, as captured on audio: “The greatest deception here is this is not one nation under God. It never was. Had it been, it would not have been. No. It would not have been. The Constitution would not have been written by Freemasons. They go against God. You cannot serve two masters. You cannot serve two masters. Praise be to God, the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise forever.” Others on the video tape can be heard in the background urging her to be quiet. “I think there’s a lot of sympathy, because something clearly happened there,” said Rep. Gerry Connolly, of Ms. Reidy, in The Hill. And Rep. Joaquin Castro said similarly: “I’ve seen her around when I’ve been on the floor. Other members who have been here longer said she always seemed nice. She was yelling about not being able to serve two masters.” --- As of Thursday morning this article had more than 240 comments
  2. In an editorial on 8 Aug. 2013 the website or blog ( http://www.keghart.com ) writes how Satan is directing accusations against the Armenian Apostolic Church: "The accusations leveled are in the many scores: Fraud, moral turpitude, corruption, autocracy, the decline of Echmiadzin clergy’s morals and morale, malaise among the clergy…the litany goes on…inclusive of the Seven Deadly Sins and some." At to Etchmiadzin's recent Episcopal Synod (Sept. 24 to 27, 2013) "When only 8% of Apostolic Armenians attend church with any regularity," writes the editorial of the same blog on 5 Oct. 2013, "the bishops dwelled on the wording of sacraments, confirmation, baptism, Chrismation and other top-of-mind rituals". The same editorial is asserting that cults like Jehova Witness and Mormons are flourishing in Armenia, and stealing souls, because of this same malaise in the Apostolic Church in Armenia when Apostolic Armenians are being disappointed and losing their hope and faith on their Apostolic Church.
  3. Is Antichrist Attacking, besides the Catholic Church, The Armenian Apostolic Church Also? And the Lord Jesus said to Peter, “Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat." Luke 22:31 KJV. Currently we see the Armenian Apostolic Church in the same situation where Satan is sifting it mercilessly. In the next verse, Luke 22:32, we see Jesus saying to Peter: but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again (after being sifted), strengthen your brothers.” In the same way we see currently the Armenian Apostolic Church under attack by satan, and without a bridge over troubled waters; will it survive or sink below waters? Will it turn back and serve the Armenians with all their heart after being sifted? Personally I do not see any wrong of the Armenian clergy engaging in business as long as with the profits they help or give their profits to the poor of Armenia where currently one from 10 families pass the day hungry. Here is a recent article: TURBULENT PERIOD FOR THE CHURCH IN ARMENIA by Armen Karapetian, The author is a freelance journalist in Armenia. Institute for War & Peace Reporting October 17, 2013, Stephane © armenews.com Translated from French. http://www.armenews.com/article.php3?id_article=93767 The Armenian Apostolic Church held its first General Synod for nearly six centuries, but the event was rocked by a scandal. The council, which was held from September 24 to 27 was the first since 1441. It brought together religious leaders of the Holy See of Etchmiadzin in Armenia, the seat of Cilicia in Lebanon, and the patriarchs of Jerusalem and Constantinople, which together have ten million followers. The Synod adopted a measure paving the way for the collective canonization of all those killed in Ottoman Turkey in 1915 in the so-called Armenian genocide, and also discussed issues such as the liturgy, education and social mission of the Church. Observers suspected that behind closed doors, bishops and archbishops together have spent more time on the scandal and controversy sowed divisions in Armenia and the Diaspora. The Armenian Apostolic Church is the oldest in the world, and survived the persecution and massacres during its many centuries of existence, remains an essential element of national identity. The current turmoil, however, are considered unprecedented. At the end of May, the newspaper Hetq Yerevan published an article accusing a senior cleric, the Archbishop Navasard Kchoyan [ksoyan], to be associated with Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and a businessman Ashot Sukiasyan for create an offshore company that has received several million dollars of misappropriated funds. After the article came out, Sukiasyan wrote to the newspaper claiming to be responsible for the full responsibility for this situation. Bishop Ksoyan and Prime Minister Sarkisian both denied any wrongdoing. Prosecutors have opened a criminal case, which means that a lawsuit is a possibility. Sukiasyan left Armenia. Bishop Ksoyan is a prominent figure of the Armenian Church, and some have seen as a possible successor to the Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II Armen Badalyan, an analyst at the Centre for Policy Studies in Yerevan, said that the case showed how the church had become closely linked with political and business groups that support Armenia. "In his attempts to find a justification for its existence, ... Government adopted the church as an ally. In return, the senior clerics have seen granted privileges "said Badalyan. "The result is that instead of focusing on society and help him with his problems, the church focuses on the government." Stepan Danielyan, Head of Cooperation for Democracy Center and editor of the site www.religions.am, said that the establishment of the church has been mired by controversy, some clergy undertake in activities and support of the political authorities. "The Church continues to lose influence. When Armenia became independent after the collapse of the Soviet Union, much has been expected of the church, but these expectations have not been met "Has he told IWPR. "The Church continues to ignore the face quxquelles things most people are concerned about - the social, economic and political vital and endless corruption scandals." Another point of contention is the synod the resignation of Archbishop Norvan Zakaryan, the head of the church for the large Armenian community in France. In July, the Archbishop Zakaryan wrote to Catholicos Karekin accusing Karekin of ill-treating him. "You gain pleasure in humiliating me and blacken my name. You're probably not even aware that you hit people's feelings, "he wrote. The archbishop continued by offering his resignation, which was duly accepted the Catholicos. At the beginning of August, Nurhan Manoukian, Patriarch of Jerusalem, entered the fray, criticizing the Catholicos Karekin for allowing Archbishop Zakaryan to resign. "A healthy generation can not grow in an atmosphere of fear and threats.This will hurt our people and our church, which - more than ever - need priests educated, honest and pure, not toadies "wrote the patriarch. The Catholicos has not responded publicly to the letter, but his spokesman Vahram Melikian denied that he was authoritarian in style. "The gathering of bishops at the end of September is strong evidence of how the church is trying to solve its problems by taking all opinions into account," Melikyan said at a press conference. "It is inevitable that there are differences of opinion within the church, but that does not mean that there are different factions in the church or something like that, or there was a battle between them. " http://www.armenews.com/article.php3?id_article=93767 Currently the owner of the blog http://www.keghart.com/ who is not a clergy, neither a servant of Jesus, has been writing against the current Armenian Apostolic Hierarchy.
  4. Obamacare is not a FREE healthcare like in Canada and Germany where health care is free and universal. Americans of all ages are NOW obligated to buy their own health insurance or face fines starting from Jan. 2014. The whole thing will get the private health insurers rich and lower the quality of health care for Americans as there would be a run on doctors and to hospitals much more than before and each patient has to wait for their treatment, sometimes in long lines. Doctors will be disheartened because of the load and look to patients as being some kind of animal species in place of human beings. America will be turned to a nation of robots!
  5. Republicans fought the good fight, they just didn't win! The Senate overwhelmingly ratified the deal to open Gov. & raise the debt limit on Wednesday evening, 81 to 18, with more than half of Senate Republicans voting yes. A few hours later, Congress followed suit, approving the measure 285 to 144. Eighty-seven Republicans joined a united Democratic caucus in approving the measure. Obama signed the measure into law shortly after midnight returning everything to normal again. Obama got more, he got plus exactly what he requested months ago: a bill to fund the government and increase the Treasury Dept’s borrowing power with no strings attached, so that the same thing will not happen in the near future. And of course Obama got his universal health insurance for Americans known as ObamaCare: “We’ve been locked in a fight over here, trying to bring government down to size, trying to do our best to stop Obamacare,” Republican House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said, “We fought the good fight. We just didn’t win.”
  6. During the previous three decades, popes John Paul II and Benedict shared a focus: Make orthodox teachings crystal clear so Catholics don’t get lost in an increasingly messy, relativistic world. While pope Francis’s has been admonishing Catholics not to be “obsessed” by their doctrine. We see Francis saying that people should follow good and fight evil as they “conceive” of them. This is relativism and echoes with the same words of Pilate the Roman governor who said to Jesus: "What is truth?" meaning truth is a relative concept. Francis accepts the church doctrine, which regards gay sex and abortion as sins and bans women from the priesthood. However he feels not to be obligated to direct the gays away from their sins into the right path (since the 'right' path is something relative to him); neither he feels to be crusading against abortion which in the eyes of God is murder. The last two popes, John Paul II and Benedict, made it clear how essential it is to follow church doctrine, in particular prioritizing the need to oppose abortion and gay equality; however the same does not apply to pope Francis. He said "who I am to judge the homosexual Catholic clergy!" thus encouraging the homo clergy of his church to engage in their perversion as if they are not sinning. ------- Rattled by Pope Francis’s admonishment to Catholics not to be “obsessed” by doctrine, his stated reluctance to judge gay people and his apparent willingness to engage just about anyone — including atheists — many conservative Catholics are doing what only recently seemed unthinkable: They are openly questioning the pope. Concern among traditionalists began building soon after Francis was elected this spring.

  8. At midnight today Oct.16 and if there is no deal yet in Washington, over the debt crisis, the outstanding bills of the government of US would come before the senators & congressmen of US in order to stamp "yes" or "no". Yes for paying that bill and No for not paying. If the crisis lingers on, without solution at hand, widespread revolts will start inside US, something that the enemies of US have been waiting for, for a long time, to suddenly attack US military and take away the leadership of the world from USA. The wars that US has been involving since 1999 (starting from Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria (and Iran, Israel) were designed to make US bankrupt and soft for attack and takeover. The prospect of the U.S. government running out of money to pay its bills and, eventually, finding it difficult to make payments on the debt itself, has dire consequences, in the worst case scenario, as commented by economists: 1- A global stock market crash: if the U.S. fails to make an interest payment on its debt, stock markets around the world will immediately crash. 2-A global recession and economic slowdown. 3-Money market funds collapse. 4-A run on the banks. 5- Some financial institutions will fail, only the strongest will survive. 6-Lending seizes up. Banks and other financial institutions will hoard the cash they have and will be wary of lending it out. Mutual funds, which are not allowed to hold defaulted securities, may have to dump masses of U.S. treasuries Ratings agency Fitch fired a warning shot Tuesday that it may downgrade the country's AAA credit rating to AA+ over the political brinksmanship and bickering in Washington that have brought the government to this point. That could help raise interest rates on U.S. debt, putting the country deeper into the red. Rating agency Standard & Poor's cut the U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA+ after the 2011 debt ceiling crisis. Moody's still has the U.S. rated AAA. According to multiple sources, the House plan would have called for funding the government through December 15 to end the partial shutdown. It also would have increased the federal debt ceiling until February 7. The rumored Senate proposal would give Republicans some concessions while being closer to what Obama and fellow Democrats have long pushed for regarding government funding and the debt ceiling. None of the proposals so far has offered a grand bargain that would fund government and allow for borrowing for more than a few months. The ball game is the Obama-healthcare program that obligates universal health insurance for all Americans of all ages, the government paying this insurance for the poor who can not afford it, and the rest who can afford it will be paying from their own pockets. Tax would certainly rise in order to cover what the government will be paying for the insurance cost of the poor who are unable to pay their own because they are poor. In a nation that today one of four are getting food-stamps because they are poor, the tax increase will be enormous, it means that the government will pay the health insurance of one out of four or five of its total inhabitants. Divide the population of USA by 5, then multiply that fourth by $150, and you get an idea of the amount of tax increase per year. Unless the sky starts raining dollars in the USA, the number of poor will increase each year and eventually the US will turn out to be a socialist state like the former Soviet Union. Freedom will be a thing of the past!
  9. In this recent message Jesus reveals how pagans will change the Church. When "Book Of Truth" is mentioned it's about a book where those messages were collected & published. Ecclesiastical masonry has now reached the greatest level of power within My Most Holy Church on EarthMonday, September 30th, 2013 My dearly beloved daughter, I must ask all of My sacred servants to watch out for the summons to attend retreats, which will be introduced to persuade them to agree to a new oath of allegiance, which will render useless – should they agree to do this – their most sacred vows, which they made to Me, Jesus Christ. Ecclesiastical masonry has now reached the greatest level of power within My Most Holy Church on Earth and it will soon dictate its new liturgy, which will be in defiance of My Most Holy Will. Created by the enemies of God and disguised as a new adaptation to suit political powers, who want to ban Christianity, it will be presented so quickly that many within My Church will be astonished. They will be pained to see such an abomination, but the voices of My loyal servants will not be heard in public, for they, the Masons, control how this new liturgy will be perceived in every way. Every objection raised in dioceses throughout the world will be dismissed and cast aside. The excuse will be that the Church needs to recruit new young souls who have fallen away from it. By appealing to a secular world, they will say that this will convert more people through a new liturgy. Oh how deceitful this abomination will be and how many will fall for the lies, which will lead so many away from the Truth. The Book of Truth was foretold to the prophet Daniel so that God’s children would never forget the Truth when they are drowning in the lies which will devour My Church on Earth. Accept the Truth laid down by My Church on Earth. Do not accept the new laws, which you will be forced to accept in My Holy Name, which will amount to sacrilege. Your Jesus
  10. I still do not believe that US will run out of money to pay its bills this Thursday and that Congress will authorize an increase in federal borrowing limits in the last moment. There were much talk about what if not! Here is an example, this forecast if does not happen this week it may happen the next time when US again will surely run out of money to pay its bill and will default, if not next time then the next time after that --this is like a Damocles' sword hanging on the head of US.. In China, Xinhua, the official government news agency, said that as American politicians continued to flounder over a deal to break the impasse, “it is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanised world”. The jibe came as Christine Lagarde, the International Monetary Fund chief, raised the spectre of a repeat of the 2008 financial crash as hopes dwindled for a resolution of the crisis over the debt ceiling and partial government shutdown. Ms Lagarde repeated her warning about the impact of failing to raise the debt ceiling following the fund’s annual meeting of finance ministers in Washington. “If there is that degree of disruption, that lack of certainty, that lack of trust in the US signature, it would mean massive disruption the world over,” she told NBC’s Meet the Press programme. “And we would be at risk of tipping, yet again, into recession.” Xinhua attacked America’s pre-eminent position in the world, adding that “such alarming days when the destinies of others are in the hands of a hypocritical nation have to be terminated”. State-run newspapers nonetheless have also noted the inseparable economic ties which bind China and the US together. China is the biggest foreign holder of US Treasury bonds, worth a total of $1.28 trillion according to American government data. “The cyclical stagnation in Washington for a viable bipartisan solution over a federal budget and an approval for raising debt ceiling has again left many nations’ tremendous dollar assets in jeopardy and the international community highly agonised,” said the commentary. President Barack Obama is rejecting the proposal of Republican congressmen from the House of Representatives (which would have to approve any deal) for a stop-gap six-week extension of the federal debt ceiling unless his Obamacare program is also approved which will increase taxes on most Americans except the poor. Back To BEIJING — The political standoff in Washington has spawned frustration and growing worries in China, which remains the largest holder of U.S. government debt. “The world is still crawling its way out of an economic disaster thanks to the voracious Wall Street elites,” the commentary said. “Such alarming days when the destinies of others are in the hands of a hypocritical nation have to be terminated.” “The congressmen are behaving irresponsibly not only for other countries but also for” the United States’ “own creditors,” said Mei Xinyu at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, which has ties to the Commerce Ministry. “They are gambling the U.S. future on their political-struggle interests.” Others, such as Zhao Xijun, deputy dean at Beijing’s Renmin University School of Finance, have gone further. He likens Congress to kidnappers holding global investment for ransom. “The two political parties in the U.S. have disregarded the interest of the rest of their country and the world,” he said. Meanwhile, Japan — the second-largest holder of U.S. debt, with $1.14 trillion — has expressed similar concerns. “The U.S. must avoid a situation where it cannot pay and its triple-A ranking plunges all of a sudden,” Japan’s finance minister, Taro Aso, said last week. For China, a U.S. default could mean a shock to China’s assets, effects on its currency-issuing and exchange-rate fluctuations, Mei said. Reaction in China’s financial world, however, has stopped well short of panic, with many believing that last-minute negotiations will defuse the crisis. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t anger, Chinese experts said. Chinese leaders have remained reserved in their official comments. Last week, Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao noted that the “clock is ticking,” and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said China is paying “great attention.” But frustration within China has encouraged further discussion about measures such as diversifying the country’s holdings. Sunday’s Xinhua opinion piece pushed for establishing a new international reserve currency to replace the dominant U.S. dollar, “so that the international community could permanently stay away from the spillover of the intensifying domestic political turmoil in the United States.” But the reality, many here acknowledge, is that the United States and China are inexorably intertwined. For all the talk of de-Americanization, moving away from the U.S. dollar anytime soon is unlikely, Chinese experts say. And while Chinese economists say diversification of the country’s holdings is a good idea regardless of the current crisis, it could happen only incrementally or risk volatility. The manufactured, political nature of the looming debt crisis, however, has flummoxed many here, who are struggling to understand what appear to them to be self-inflicted wounds by U.S. leaders. “If the U.S. debt default happens, China and other investors will face great risks in their dollar-denominated assets,” Zhao said. “But I think it will hurt the U.S. itself the most. . . . A debt default will only cause a sharp fall in U.S. credibility.”
  11. The sun is setting on dollar supremacy, and with it, American power A serious alternative to the dollar is still a long way off, but the latest shenanigans on Capitol Hill have given the search for them renewed momentum By Jeremy Warner, Assistant Editor 14 Oct 2013 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/jeremy-warner/10378666/The-sun-is-setting-on-dollar-supremacy-and-with-it-American-power.html All great empires – from the Greek, to the Roman, the Spanish and the British - have at their heart a dominant means of exchange which is very much part of their political and social hegemony. Once upon a time, it was Roman coinage which was the world's pre-eminent currency. In more recent times it was the British pound. Today, it's the US dollar to which international investors flock as a safe haven for their money. Highly liquid and apparently reliable – until recently at least – nothing else comes even remotely close to the greenback's dominant position in the international monetary system. That this position – what Giscard d'Estaing referred to as America's "exorbitant privilege" – could so casually be put at risk by politicians on Capitol Hill is an extraordinary spectacle that may be indicative of a great power already seriously on the wane. With the pound, the fall from grace was swift. Britain emerged from the devastation of the First World War an irreparably damaged economic and military power, with crushing debts and a deeply impaired manufacturing sector. The dollar was able quickly to usurp the pound's position. Final defeat for sterling came with Britain's decision to leave the gold standard in 1931 – an economically sensible decision but a psychological turning point for sterling from which it never recovered. Lack of any credible alternative means it won't happen so quickly with the dollar. For all the progress of the last 30 years, China for now remains a much smaller economy than the US and in any case is nowhere near ready financially to assume such a role. As for the euro, the dollar needn't trouble itself much about this one-time pretender to the throne. Yet rarely before has international dissatisfaction with the dollar's role as reserve currency to the world been as great as it is now. The most visible anger comes from China, with more than $3 trillion of dollar foreign exchange reserves, $1.3 trillion of them held in US Treasuries. For ordinary Chinese, it has come as a revelation to discover they own so much American debt. That they own it in a country which because of political brinkmanship may actually default has provoked understandable fury. "It is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanised world", China's official government news agency has said. A steady erosion of trust which began with the financial crisis five years ago has reached apparent breaking point with the pantomime antics on Capitol Hill. The search for long-term alternatives to the dollar is on as never before. Regrettably, there aren't any, or not for the time being in any case. Everyone can only look on in horror as the US commits apparent economic suicide. Such is the dollar's dominance that, to begin with at least, investors might simply have to take default on the chin. More than 60pc of global foreign exchange reserves are held in US dollars, which also account for more than 80 per cent of global foreign exchange trading. So important is dollar liquidity in global trade that if, for instance, you wanted to sell Singapore dollars and buy South African rand, your forex dealer would first typically buy US dollars with your Singapore dollars and then use them to buy the South African rand. The dollar is the middle currency in the vast bulk of international transactions. By the same token, US Treasuries are the very backbone of the global financial system. They are the supposed "risk-free asset" against which everything else is benchmarked, and as such are the collateral of choice in a huge array of financial market transactions. The dollar is also the currency used to price most commodities, from oil to gold. The dollar's hegemony is all pervasive. This has given the greenback a degree of leverage unmatched by any other reserve currency in history. If China starts to sell dollar assets, it will only weaken the dollar, undermining Chinese exports and reducing the value of its remaining portfolio of dollar assets. I'd been part of the received wisdom that any act of US default would set off a devastating chain reaction of bankruptcies that would provoke a second global financial crisis. But David Bloom, chief currency strategist at HSBC, has convinced me that dollar hegemony might perversely act in the opposite way, at least initially. Unlike a generalised credit event, where all instruments default at the same time, the US would initially engage in a series of little, self contained defaults, or "selective defaults", whose individual impact would probably not be that great. Each bond has a life and coupon of its own. The missed coupon payment might therefore be regarded as not so bad – especially as this is a case of "won't pay", rather than "can't pay". Markets see such defaults differently, with missed payments expected to be made up eventually once a political resolution is found. It's also very likely that the Federal Reserve would attempt to counter the damage in financial markets with more QE, buying up the Treasuries that investors dumped. Furthermore, the financial uncertainty created by default would likely drive investors towards past safe havens of choice – in particular, US dollar assets. Alternative safe havens, such as Japan and Switzerland, have been rendered defunct by central bank money printing. Ironically, emerging markets are likely be more damaged by default than the US itself, with further capital flight. Such is the degree of "exorbitant privilege" enjoyed by the dollar that it might therefore be the first currency in history to see an asset price rally on the back of a default. However, if there were repeated selective defaults, a second, less benign phase would eventually set in. Spooked markets would begin to sell off the dollar. The consequent stronger euro and pound would have powerfully deflationary consequences for Europe. Internal demand in the US would also collapse as a result of the wrenching fiscal squeeze that would result from federal government attempts to match expenditures with tax revenues. Dollar hegemony has long been a destabilising force at the centre of the international monetary system; it's a major part of the sharp build-up in global current account imbalances and cross border capital flows that have been at the heart of so many of the problems in the world economy. The unprecedented accumulation of dollar foreign exchange reserves has in turn caused new challenges for the US, making it more difficult to maintain fiscal and financial stability within its own borders. Policies that may or may not be good for the US are in all probability bad for everyone else. Loose monetary policy in the US since the crisis began has induced unwanted demand and asset bubbles elsewhere in the world. Serious alternatives to the dollar, such as a global reserve currency, are still a long way off, but the latest shenanigans on Capitol Hill have given the search for them renewed and added momentum. The US is recklessly throwing away its future. ====================================== As the chaos in Washington and global markets continues, in a piece written by Richard Russell earlier this year we read: “Bear market? Sure, back in the year 2000, for only 273 dollars you could buy one ounce of gold. But by 2012, you needed over 1600 dollars to buy the same one ounce of gold. The eternal value of gold doesn't change. It's the purchasing power of the Federal reserve note that has changed. http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2013/10/14_This_Is_What_Has_The_United_States_Truly_Terrified_files/KWN%20RR%20126.jpgDates & Gold Prices Ben Bernanke's Federal Reserve is systematically shaving off the purchasing power of the dollar in the same way that you can peel the layers off an onion. The US has been in the process of constructing the greatest credit bubble in history. No fiat money has lasted for as long as a century. The US has had prior experience with fiat money -- the Civil War Greenbacks, the “Bills of Credit” of the original American colonies, the ill-fated Continentals during the Civil War. None of these have survived, and neither will the Federal Reserve notes that we now refer to as “dollars.” [Today] some academic working for the Federal Reserve can press some keys on a computer and create ten billion dollars instantly without working up a sweat. When the Federal Reserve note [the dollar] goes down the drain, all fiat money in the world will go down with it.

Robert Fisk Sunday 13 October 2013 Further proof emerges of Turkey’s genocide http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/further-proof-emerges-of-turkeys-genocide-8877411.html Now come the memoirs of Alec Glen, a British army doctor of the 1914-18 war – written privately for his sons, but published by his family – which record the further agony of the Armenians. Entitled In the Front Line: A Doctor in War and Peace, Dr Glen’s account includes the fate of the Armenians of Caucasia as the Turks tried to spread their pan-Turkic rule to the east in 1918 – after the original massacre of one-and-a-half million Armenians three years earlier. Marching through north-western Iran towards Baku, Dr Glen writes of how his British-Indian force began to pass several thousand Armenian refugees in a day. “It was an amazing and tragic sight … now and then we passed at a roadside a dying person, or one already dead and half-eaten by dogs and jackals… we lifted some of the younger ones who might recover on to the mules and carried them forward to the next village. “Salisbury Craig [a fellow British doctor] told me later that he attended an old refugee in the road who, before he died, gave him a leather belt full of sovereigns, which he asked him to spend to help the refugees.” Greater love hath no man…

  14. The idea behind ONEArmenia is to use crowd sourcing and crowdfunding--modern fundraising tools--in order to raise money for much-needed projects in the humanitarian, environmental and tech fields. Armenia's highly successful IT sector which has already produced hundreds of millions of exits (export dollars) Shift:Tech -- New Entrepreneurial Initiative Brings Tiny Armenia to forefront of World IT Industry Oct. 14, 2013http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christopher-atamian/shift-new-entrepreneurial_b_4079670.html ONEArmenia and its latest venture, the Shift::Tech initiative bring tectonic change to Armenia, one project at a time. Ad executive and entrepreneur Patrick Sarkissian founded ONEArmenia in 2012 in order to take advantage of that country's remarkable brain power and cultural strength and to help to save a young generation of Armenians from the corruption and negativity prevalent in all post-Soviet Republics. Armenians, who have been around for some three thousand years, are wont to go on about their sometimes glorious past and the many great entrepreneurs and artists that they have produced over the centuries. But the collapse of the USSR, a war with Azerbaijian, a frightening Earthquake and blockade by Turkey have left many in the Republic of Armenia morose. Emigration has surpassed one million (out of four million) souls. Corruption is rampant. "Enough looking backwards!" might be an apt motto for Sarkissian and his colleagues at ONEArmenia. In a remarkably short period of time, Sarkissian has brought together like-minded entrepreneurs and cultural workers including hospitality entrepreneur James Tufenkian who produces gorgeous oriental carpets and has opened a chain of top-rated hotels across the country. The idea behind ONEArmenia is to use crowd sourcing and crowdfunding--modern fundraising tools--in order to raise money for much-needed projects in the humanitarian, environmental and tech fields. Each project donation is completely vetted to produce zero percent corruption--a most attractive feature to potential investors, young and old. Of the organization's many projects, its Shift:: Culture has been particularly enticing. The project received submissions from all over the globe, both within Armenia and from its far-flung diaspora. The winner, the Epsidon Theater Group, took an old Armenian story by the great writer Nar-Dos called "He and I" and transformed it into a vibrant, contemporary rock opera. The project was so successful and the enthusiasm for it so great that Sarkissian then launched ONEArmenia's current undertaking SHIFT:: Tech. As the "shift" in both titles suggest, the idea is to shift traditional ways of thinking both in and outside Armenia about the Republic and the possibilities it affords. "Armenia is a country with 99% literacy and 36% unemployment," Sarkissian explains: "I wanted to bring attention to Armenia's highly successful IT sector which has already produced hundreds of millions of exits (export dollars)." Shift:: Tech is an open call to develop a mobile app in Armenia for the world market. Armenia is already considered a high-tech hub for the former CIS countries and the Caucasus. In fact the world's premiere, full-featured mobile photo editor, Picsart, Inc., for example, was founded there and already has over 77 million users. It was developed and produced in one of the many small offices which now dot the country's capital Yerevan, which are reminiscent of Silicon Valley's early days when people put together giants like Apple inside small crowded garages and the like. Armenia's booming IT sector, considered to be virtually corruption-free, accounts for no less than 20% of the country's annual GDP. Not surprisingly, start-ups are popping up all over the country. Says David Bequette, OneArmenia's in-country director: Armenia's potential is not up for debate...it doesn't need to look any farther than the Internet for an environment where the talents of its young engineers, programmers, designers and software developers can truly take flight." SHIFT:: Tech's winning entry will be voted on by a peer review committee that includes some industry powerhouses, including Alexis Ohanian, Co-Founder of Reddit and Hipmunk, Matthew Brimer, co-founder of General Assembly and Yoav Kutner, the Co-Founder of Magento and Oro CRM. "SHIFT:: Tech offers enough support for the winning team of developers to focus their time and efforts exclusively on an app idea and make it a reality by building a functioning, viable product for a big global marketplace", said Nigel Sharp, founder of LionSharp Solutions--a leading creative technology start-up: "Awareness of the technology possibilities will improve and hopefully inspire more people to utilize Armenia's impressive engineering and mobile development capabilities." The First Place winner will be given the opportunity to work with Social Objects, a leading mobile app development start-up in Yerevan, in order to turn their abstract idea into a unique and important contribution to the software sphere and to society as a whole. In addition to having a world-class development team build their app, part of the $25,000 in-kind grant will go to marketing and taking the app to market. Following official OneArmenia policy, a portion of profits from the project will be reinvested to help fund another key OneArmenia sector --namely its community projects. It's a win-win proposition, no matter which way you look at it. For more information, go to: www.onearmenia.org
  15. In my opinion, it's of utmost important to make vacationing in those resorts AFFORDABLE to Armenians so they will spent their vacations there in place of Georgia & Turkey.
  16. This is a powerful message by Jesus addressing His church, heralding His second coming! My True Church will be thrown out of Rome and will have to endure a number of years of desolationSaturday, September 28th, 2013 My dearly beloved daughter, always remind those who believe in Me, but who have no idea that My Second Coming draws close, that they must always be alert to the signs which were prophesied in My Father’s Book, for the time which precedes the Great Day. The great apostasy is the first sign. This is when belief in the Truth – the Word of God – disappears and when sin is glorified in every part of the world. The sign for when My Second Coming draws very close is when the great apostasy grips My Church on Earth from within. When you see those who say that they have been appointed by Me to lead My Church on Earth engage in the secular world in order to gain favour, you will know that the changes have begun. When you see the Great Sacrifice – My Crucifixion – being debated and new meanings attached to My Eucharist, you will know that My Church will be cast into the desert. By My Church, I refer to those who do not deviate from the Truth and who continue, as before, to accept the Word of God. My True Church will be thrown out of Rome and will have to endure a number of years of desolation. It will be trampled upon by the heathen and will suffer, but by My Grace, it will remain intact and those brave souls who refuse to desert Me will be given extraordinary Gifts by Me. As the abominable, so called ‘miracles’, healings and gestures of false humility and love for humanity are witnessed in the shell of My Church, the true miraculous interventions by Me will be seen. I will, through My Crusade Prayer Groups, make known to those who scoff and mock them, the Presence of the Holy Spirit. Many miracles will be bestowed upon My Prayer Groups and those who recite the Prayers as a gift to help My beloved disciples cope with religious persecution. The persecution I speak of is mainly a spiritual one. My true disciples, and I mean all Christians, of every denomination, everywhere, will watch in great sorrow when they have to bear witness to the great deceit, which will descend over the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church will embrace the secular world and will declare mortal sin to be no more. Sin, will not be acknowledged and in order to deceive the innocents, they will be told that it is not difficult to enter My Kingdom. Confessions will stop in the present format. People will be told to ask for redemption in their own way, and as such, many will not then bother to ask for My Forgiveness. They won’t do this because they will no longer accept that sin is caused deliberately and that, because of this, God will forgive all. This is the error which was foretold and which will lead millions into the fires of Hell and they will be led there by the false prophet and the antichrist. Soon, all pagan feasts and festivals will be integrated within the Catholic Churches everywhere. Pagans and those who hate God will be invited onto the altars in front of the tabernacles. This feast will be declared to be the new form of Communion – all God’s children joining together in order to respect each other’s beliefs and human rights. You, My followers, will be asked to show respect for those who want to destroy My Presence in the Holy Eucharist. You will be accused of being anti-Christian if you do not embrace paganism. This is how you will all be fooled. This is how I, Jesus Christ, will be desecrated. They will do the same in schools, in order to banish Christianity. They will do the same in political circles, when everything to do with Me will be wiped out. No other religion will be targeted with such hatred. Christianity, because it is the Truth, will be destroyed. What you do not realise is, that by becoming willing participants in this wicked desecration, that your souls will be darkened and in time you will forsake your own salvation. Betray Me and I will forgive you. Deny Me and I will forgive you. But, when you desecrate Me and swear allegiance to the beast, you become completely separated from Me and you will find it impossible to accept My Mercy. Your Jesus
  17. The Armenians: The Most Resilient, Resourceful, and Obstinate People October 14, 2013 http://blog.farusa.org/2013/10/14/ypt-the-most-resilient-resourceful-and-obstinate-people/ My first experience of Armenia on the FAR Young Professionals trip was nothing short of profound, in all ways. 10 years ago, I was only dimly aware of Armenia’s existence at all. My closest point of reference for the entirety of Armenian culture was Serj Tankian and System of a Down. I began my rather rapid education of all things Armenian in 2010 when I started dating the girl who would eventually be my wife*. She lived the first years of her life in Yerevan, and has visited regularly since leaving. She would often make comments like “These bell peppers are nothing like the ones in Armenia,” or “This bread reminds me of Armenian Matnakash, only Matnakash is way better” or “The figs in America are so tiny and flavorless.” Along with my education in Armenian foods, I began learning bit by bit about Armenia’s history and culture, and became more enthralled with each new piece. So, when we decided to go on the YP trip, I wasn’t just excited to try out my six words of Armenian on some real locals. I was looking forward to experiencing firsthand everything I had been told about, from the millennial-age monasteries, to the lush beauty of Artsakh, to the 80-dram ice creams, and even to the extra-strength July sun and heat. Of course, the trip ended up being so much more than just what I expected. I was surprised nearly every day by some unexpected discovery. The monastery at Geghard may have been my favorite. I’ve been inside a handful of European gothic cathedrals, each one being a huge, towering and cavernous structure that seems to be attempting to reach the heavens themselves. Geghard, however, was built the opposite way: into the rock of a mountainside and into the earth of Armenia. I thought it spoke volumes about the Armenia’s religious identity, its roots, and I felt it to be one of the only places I’ve ever been that was truly suffused with spirituality and profundity. The greatest thrill came on our journey to the Tatev monastery via the world’s longest aerial tramway. When you make the pass over the final tower and the ground is suddenly 1,000 feet further beneath you, it’s infinitely better than any IMAX fly-over shot, 3D or no. Not every surprise was like Geghard and Tatev, though. Some were certainly more sobering. We were given the chance to see some of FAR’s longstanding projects such as a soup kitchen in Gyumri, and their Children’s Center in Yerevan. At both places we were greeted with immense energy and vigor. Adults and kids alike were incredibly vivacious and spirited. They did in fact represent some of the most disenfranchised parts of the Armenian population. I felt very mixed emotions during these moments. It was abundantly clear that these people had undergone intense hardships. Knowing that a significant portion of the population lives in immensely adverse conditions was a painful realization. On the other hand, to say their unshakeable optimism and vivacity was heartwarming would be a gross understatement. Clearly there’s much progress to be made in Armenia. But understanding what FAR and other organizations are striving to realize each day was perhaps the most important discovery I made. I saw many manifestations of the uncertain future in Armenian faces. But for each of these instances, I also witnessed moments of pure optimism. I can truly say that Armenians are the most resilient, resourceful, and (in the best way) obstinate people I have met (not even mentioning the wicked sense of humor). There is no doubt in my mind that I will be returning to Armenia in the future.
  18. Corrected and modified version Doing some research I found that there are two diverse opinions. Those who think hemp is another name for marijuana and those who think they are different names for two separate plants from the same leafy plant family. The fact is no one smokes hemp as they do with marijuana because hemp has only a tiny trace of the buzz-worthy chemical THC found in marijuana; you have to smoke more than two hundred pounds of hemp in order to get the buzz of one joint marijuana. It does not make sense. However the cultivation of hemp has been banned in USA for the simple reason that someone can plant marijuana and claim what is planted is hemp, therefore both marijuana & hemp were banned although US was free to import hemp. Hemp’s seeds, roots, stalks, fibers and oil are used for products including soap, clothing and construction materials. Restarting planting of hemp in US could be the miracle crop for dying farmers who can sell their hemp crop for industrial use. However hemp planting, like its more potent sibling marijuana, remain illegal in US by Feds. “According to the Controlled Substances Act, there is no differentiation between marijuana and hemp,” says Dawn Dearden, a spokeswoman for the Drug Enforcement Administration in Washington. She says the federal law banning the two plants has been on the books since it was signed by President Nixon in 1970. But presently California and Colorado are working to legalize the cultivation of hemp. State lawmakers are being asked to come up with a plan to regulate hemp farming, same as corn farming. Hemp could bring three times the profit of wheat cultivation. And in order to start American farmers need initially to import farming hemp-seeds from Canada, Europe and China along with the expertise of how to grow hemp. If planting hemp is more profitable than planting grains and vegetable then with the lifting of the ban US can face a real problem where most American farmers turn to farming hemp leaving US grain and vegetable dry and Americans facing hunger and bread-less future. Again, it's a fact that no one smokes hemp, although hemp springs from the same tall, leafy plant family as marijuana but the chemical composition of both are different, and to ban hemp just because it has the looks of marijuana plant does not make sense. Besides ethanol extracted from hemp can provide alternate source of oil for US --was this the real reason perhaps that hemp was put in the forbidden plants category despite having many industrial beneficial uses? But I think most likely hemp was banned to save USA from hunger! One more reason for regulating the hemp cultivation after the ban is lifted in order to ensure that there is always going to be bread to eat on American household tables.

  20. It is easy to hunt and capture an enemy drone. Those drones work by communicating with a satellite, a satellite that in turn is linked to a center in USA. Iran has its own satellites and is able to interrupt any communication of an alien drone with its affiliated satellite, then send orders to the captured drone to land inside Iran. Armenia would be able to do this also with Azeri drones as soon Armenia has her own satellite in space. Iran Moves 35 Years Ahead by Reverse Engineering US Drone Oct 10, 2013 FARS NEWS TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said that Iran moved as much as 35 years ahead in building drone engines by reverse engineering the US drone, RQ-170 which was tracked and hunted down in Iran late in 2011. The RQ-170 engines are the fifth generation and the engines of Iranian unmanned planes are the third generation, Hajizadeh said on Wednesday, adding that to produce the engine we had to spend 35 years on the project.

  21. There is no peanut butter in Armenia, its rare to find it unless an American tourist brought a jar with him and gave it to an Armenian who after taking a spoonful would thrown the rest away as "oough," meaning not to his taste...but wait a minute, in Africa where malnutrition is rampart, and Armenia coming second after Africa in malnutrition of her children --a malnutrition that is obvious when you the see teeth of Armenian children in bad shape because of malnutrition; specially in the winter season where many rural Armenians survive on potatoes and cabbage. As in Africa, the peanut butter paste can be a manna from heaven for Armenians, if it taste like "oough" then they have to add to it a bit of honey. OK who is the first one to put a stand in the Opera or republic square and start selling or giving away a roll of lavash bread filled with peanut butter mixed with honey with a little bit of cheese (panir)perhaps or matzoon? Or will we see the day when Candy-Dandy start selling their famous chocolate filled with peanut butter? Pediatrician Dr Mark Manary reveals how peanut butter can save millions of lives 13 Oct. 2013 http://www.news.com.au/ MOST of us have it as a breakfast staple every day and don't give it a second thought. But the humble peanut butter has the potential to save millions of lives every year. Sound like a far fetched pipedream? Then consider the possibility that malnourished children could be saved from death just by eating a food source that was easily accessible and cheap. Enter Project Peanut Butter, which is aiming to save two million children by 2015. According to pediatrician Dr Mark Manary it isn't just a pipedream but a reality. Dr Manary stumbled across peanut butter as a solution to saving the lives of severely malnourished children while working in a Malawi village in 1999. It was during his time that he noticed people struggling with inadequate farming methods and nutrition and devised a food substance which was bacteria-resistant, easy to make and source, as well as being full of vitamins and nutrients. The answer, to him, was obvious. Two years later the American conducted a series of tests with peanut butter to see if it made a difference in reversing the effects of severe malnutrition without children requiring a hospital stay or travelling hundreds of miles for treatment. He made a ready-made mixture, or ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF), and found 95 per cent of children had recovered from malnutrition within six weeks of eating the peanut butter paste. Dr Manary told news.com.au from west Africa that the evidence was overwhelming that the food has the potential to save millions of lives. "The ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) can treat severe malnutrition anywhere on the planet," he said. And he said the success rates speak for themselves. "This approach is beyond research and innovation," he said. "Our team has treated more than 100,000 severely malnourished children with on average 90 per cent recovery." His nutrient-rich mixture has even been endorsed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as the best way to treat malnutrition. The high-calorie, fortified peanut butter-like food contains mono-unsaturated fats, which are easy to digest, and are rich in zinc and protein. It also has the added advantage of not needing to be refrigerated for months and doesn't require cooking. The so called "super food" provides the specific, high-quality nutrition children need to recover, survive, and even thrive and has been shown to raise the kids' immunity to such a point where they can be saved from diseases and illness including Malaria. Dr Manary said the peanut butter paste also meant mothers could treat their children in the own home. Previously, children suffering malnutrition required lengthy hospital stays away from their families for up to a couple of months which only had a 25-40 per cent success rate. When asked about the potential for peanut allergies and potential anaphylactic shock, Dr Manary insisted it hadn't been an issue in the time he had been working in Africa. "No allergy is not a concern, this is just a misconception of how allergy develops," he said. "If Australian children were fed peanuts at an early age they would not be allergic." Almost three in 100 children have a peanut allergy, according to support charity Allergy and Anaphylaxis, and parents are often advised to avoid them until around two. Australians wanting to get involved in Project Peanut Butter can either donate via the website, volunteer or go to the organisation's Facebook page for details.
  22. 20 Great Uses for Olive Oil Outside the Kitchen By Daniel Cameron, Epoch Times | October 12, 2013 http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/316461-20-great-uses-for-olive-oil-outside-the-kitchen/ In addition to the healthy Mediterranean diet which is rich in olive oil, the ancient Greeks and Romans used to frequently use olive oil mixed with herbs to clean and moisturize the skin. Nowadays, it is common to see many cosmetic products made from olive oil such as lotions, shampoos, and soap. But there are many more uses for olive oil. Below learn some of olive oil’s great benefits along with a few ideas to try. 1. Lower Blood Pressure: Olive oil is known to lower blood pressure. Researchers recognise this fact, but have yet to be able to pin point exactly how it does so. 2. Reduce Risk of Stroke: Studies have indicated that an increased consumption of olive oil can significantly reduce the likelihood of suffering a stroke. 3. Tickle in the Throat: Consuming a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil can soothe your throat and prevent that tickle from making you cough. Wow, what a relief! 4. Treatment of Constipation: Olive oil can also be used as a laxative. If you’re constipated, consume a couple of teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil. Be sure you’re using extra virgin. If you’re not into consuming it straight (although it can be very tasty), add a light dressing of extra virgin olive oil to a salad. The extra fiber of the greens may help too! 5. Treat sunburn: Mix equal parts of olive oil and water and apply to areas of the skin that have suffered minor sunburn. It not only alleviates the pain, it helps retain your skin’s moisture too. 6. Remove Paint from Skin: You know how hard it is to clean paint off your skin. Well, not anymore. Apply some olive oil and rub it into the paint to loosen it. Upon removing the oil, the paint will naturally come off as well. 7. Reduce Wrinkles: Olive oil contains vitamins E, K, A and D along with phenolic antioxidants and polyphenols. With such properties, olive oil can reduce wrinkles and prevent cell degeneration, or in other words, it slows down the way your skin ages. After washing your face, you can use a small amount of olive oil and gently massage the face. Then, using a hot towel, wipe your face clean. 8. Replace Baby Oil: A newborn baby’s skin is very delicate. Applying a small amount of olive oil to your baby’s skin can help protect it. It’s been recommended for diaper rash and baby acne. The effect is not only better than baby oil, it’s also more natural. 9. Keeping Skin Moisturised: Olive oil is rich in essential fatty acids. It’s easily absorbed maintaining healthy looking and moist skin. If your skin get a bit dry in winter, pour a little extra virgin olive oil in the palm of your hand, then evenly apply it to your skin. 10. Exfoliant: Adding a little bit of salt or sugar with olive oil and gently massaging into your skin is effective for exfoliating. After applying, scrubbing, let it sit for a minute, then rinse off with cold water. 11. Hair Conditioner: Before shampooing your hair, gently massage some olive oil into your hair until fully absorbed. Wrap your hair with a hot towel and wait for 15 minutes. Then, wash your hair with shampoo. After shampooing, you can add a few more drops of olive oil to your hair while it’s still wet. You don’t need to use any additional conditioner. 12. Protect Against Radiation: Here’s an interesting one. Do you often use a computer at home? Actually, by applying a small amount of olive oil to your face before using the computer can prevent your skin from being harmed by radiation. 13. Massage Oil: You don’t need any fancy or expensive oils for a massage. In fact, olive oil may be the oldest massage oil in the world. 14. Healthy Glow: By incorporating olive oil into your diet you can keep your skin looking healthy. 15. Make-Up Remover: When removing makeup, add a few drops of olive oil on your fingers and gently massage into your skin. With soap, clean off the olive oil which, at the same time, will also take off the makeup. You’ll find your face feeling clean and moisturised. 16. Detangle Hair: All you have to do is add some olive oil to your hair then comb out the tangles, it’ll be much easier that way. 17. Bathing: Add roughly 1-2 tsp (5-10 ml) of olive oil to your bath, then gently stir to disperse the oil. An olive oil bath is very luxurious. Taking baths with olive oil over a period of time softens one’s skin. 18. Shaving: That’s right, you can use olive oil as well for shaving, and it’s completely natural. This is particularly helpful for those with sensitive skin. 19. Wood Polish: After slightly dampening a soft cloth with olive oil, wipe it into your furniture for a nice polished finish. The oil will also keep the wood moist and last longer. 20. Shoe Polish: You may have run out of shoe polish, but don’t worry! Dampen a soft cloth with olive oil and wipe into your shoes as you would normally when polishing them.

  24. Are Azerbaijan’s cozy ties with Israel designed to rankle and antagonize Iran and Armenia...Or it makes sense from an economical point of view? For both of those reasons with the economic coming first since Azerbaijan sells oil to Israel: 40 percent Israel's annual oil requirements comes from Baku. After Israel starts developing its offshore oil from the Medi Sea this percentage will turn to a big 0...and the future economic ties between Israel & Baku will take a shift...toward in favor of economical ties with Iran and Armenia in place of Israel. CURRANT FACTS: --In May of this year, Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov made a state visit to Israel. --Last year, Azeri officials signed a $1.6 billion deal with state-controlled Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. under which Baku will receive unmanned aerial vehicles (i.e. drones), anti-aircraft and missile defense systems. UPI reported that this one transaction accounted for 43 percent of the Azeris’ defense expenditures for the whole year. In 2011, an Israeli defense contractor named Aeronautics opened a factory in Azerbaijan to manufacture military UAVs. --A huge portion (40 percent) of Israel's annual oil requirements come from Azerbaijan. Bilateral trade between Azerbaijan and Israel now totals some $4 billion annually. Since 1997, a number of senior Israeli politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres, have visited Azerbaijan, solidifying their military and economic relationship. --“The partnership between Israel and Azerbaijan is complicated by political factors, but ultimately it is moving forward because it makes sense from an economical point of view,” said Oded Eran, a former Israeli ambassador to the European Union, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “Azerbaijan is reliable enough as a supplier of oil for Israel, and Israel is a reliable supplier of high-tech and arms.” More: http://www.ibtimes.com/azerbaijani-president-aliyev-one-israels-best-friends-arms-buyer-re-elected-third-straight-term
