Palestinian Figure Calls Iran the Spiritual Influence and ‘Source of Islamic Awakening’ in Regional Uprisings
“TEHRAN (FNA) – A prominent Palestinian figure in Lebanon said that popular uprisings and the growing awakening among the regional nations are inspired by Islam and the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.
‘We are witnessing an Islamic spirit in the Arab revolutions, and I prefer to call them Islamic Revolutions,’ Head of the Palestinian Islamic Council in Lebanon Sheikh Mohammad Nimr Zaghmout told FNA on Monday.
‘This has been the divine power and the power of Islam which has led the revolutionary people in the regional countries to victory,’ Zaghmout stated, underlining the Islamic nature of the regional uprisings.
He also stressed the spiritual influence of Iran’s Islamic Revolution on the recent and current uprisings in the region, and added, ‘I would like to emphasize the point that we wouldn’t have witnessed such revolutions and Islamic awakenings today, if an Islamic awakening had not taken place in Iran 32 year ago and if the Islamic Revolution (of Iran) had not achieved victory.'” Read more.

‘Terrible Things Are Sure to Happen’: Supreme Court Orders California to Release Up to 46,000 Prison Inmates
By David G. Savage – “WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ordered California on Monday to release tens of thousands of its prisoners to relieve overcrowding, saying that ‘needless suffering and death’ had resulted from putting too many inmates into facilities that cannot hold them in decent conditions.
It is one of the largest prison release orders in the nation’s history, and it sharply split the high court.
Justices upheld an order from a three-judge panel in California that called for releasing 38,000 to 46,000 prisoners. Since then, the state has transferred about 9,000 state inmates to county jails. As a result, the total prison population is now about 32,000 more than the capacity limit set by the panel.” Read more.

Wild Bill for America: Why I Stand With Israel – The Israeli Heart
“Hello everybody, Wild Bill for America here, thank you for watching. What I’m gonna tell you about happened on a dusty road in Israel with Israeli soldiers manning a military checkpoint, and a Palestinian boy with a bomb hidden under his coat walking towards them. Now this story happened about five years ago, and I didn’t make a copy of it, I wish I had because it’s a story I just can’t forget …”
Muslims to Christians: ‘We’re Coming for You’

By Michael Carl – “‘Once we take control we’re coming for you.’
That’s the message Christians in the Ivory Coast got from Muslims during a long-fought dispute over the nation’s presidency, an election late last year apparently won by a Christian candidate when the government found voter fraud in Muslim regions. But that result was overturned following intervention by the United Nations and the United States, who insisted that the Muslim candidate be given the office.
Which puts Muslims now in ‘control.’
A missionary who asked to be called only Pastor Andrew serves in the Ivory Coast and says that the administration of newly inaugurated president Alessane Ouattara, a Muslim, has shut off the Internet and now likely is tapping the Christians’ telephones.
‘Just before (the civil war), they were warning the Christians that when we get in power, the first we’re going to do is come against the church. We’re coming to get you,’ Andrew revealed.” Read more.
Iceland: Largest Volcanic Eruption in Grímsvötn in 100 Years
“The current volcanic eruption in Grímsvötn on Vatnajökull glacier is the largest in that volcano 100 years and larger than the one in Eyjafjallajökull last year. It is similar to the eruption of 1873, according to geophysicist Magnús Tumi Gudmundsson. A large flood is not expected.
This morning the ash cloud was 15 to 18 kilometers high which means that the volcanic eruption is ten times more powerful than the last eruption in Grímsvötn in 2004, Gudmundsson told ruv.is.” Read more.
Ash could reach Scotland by Tuesday, airlines warned – “May 22 (Reuters) – Ash from an erupting Icelandic volcano could reach northern Scotland by Tuesday and parts of Britain, France and Spain by Thursday or Friday if the eruption continues at the same rate, airlines were warned on Sunday.” Read more.

Fukushima’s Apocalyptic Threat Demands Immediate Global Action
By Harvey Wasserman – “Fukushima may be in an apocalyptic downward spiral.
Forget the corporate-induced media coma that says otherwise…or nothing at all.
Lethal radiation is spewing unabated. Emission levels could seriously escalate. There is no end in sight. The potential is many times worse than Chernobyl.
Containing this disaster may be beyond the abilities of Tokyo Electric or the Japanese government.
There is no reason to incur further unnecessary risk. With all needed resources, it’s time for the world’s best scientists and engineers to take charge.” Read more.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says Europe ‘Stealing Iran’s Rain’
Maybe he decided to claim that the West was to blame after reading Revelation 11:6, “They have the power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying …”
By Barney Henderson – “Moments after the Iranian president made the startling claim at the inauguration of a dam in a central province, it started to rain.
‘Western countries have designed plans to cause drought in certain areas of the world, including Iran,’ Mr Ahmadinejad said in the city of Arak in Markazi province.
‘According to reports on climate, whose accuracy has been verified, European countries are using special equipment to force clouds to dump’ their water on their continent, he said.
By doing so, ‘they prevent rain clouds from reaching regional countries, including Iran,’ Mr Ahmadinejad charged.
Iran has experienced several droughts in recent years.” Read more.

Mass Deaths of Honeybees in Okanagan, British Columbia
“You may have noticed there has been less buzzing around town lately.
The long and cold winter has had a negative effect on the already declining bee population and Okanagan residents are the ones who will have to pay the price.
Bob Chisholm, a long-time beekeeper in Kelowna and member of the B.C. Honey Producers Association, lost 150 hives this year.
The hives are estimated to have been worth $45,000.
He says the bee decline means there will be less honey production this year.
It also means you may have to pay more for apples and cherries because there are fewer bees to pollinate crops.” Read more.
Upcoming Solar Storms to Wreak Havoc on Earth’s Electrical Communications
“Solar storms could have ‘devastating effects’ on human technology when they hit a peak in two years’ time, a leading scientist has warned.
U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration assistant secretary Kathryn Sullivan said the storms pose a growing threat to critical infrastructure such as satellite communications, navigation systems and electrical transmission equipment.
Solar storms release particles that can temporarily disable or permanently destroy fragile computer circuits.
Dr Sullivan, a former Nasa astronaut who in 1984 became the first woman to walk in space, yesterday told a UN weather conference in Geneva that ‘it is not a question of if, but really a matter of when a major solar event could hit our planet’.” Read more.
