MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

The dividing of the land for gain has begun. Now they just have to wait for it to be enforced for the glory of Allah …

Daniel 11:39, “Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.”

Zechariah 12:3,9, “And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it… It shall be in that day [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”

By Chana Ya’ar, INN – “PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas Sunday promised someday the PA flag would fly over ‘Jerusalem, eternal capital of the state of Palestine.’

Thousands of people greeted Abbas rapturously upon his return from the United Nations, where the General Assembly granted the PLO, representing the PA, upgraded status as a nonmember observer state.

‘Raise your heads high, because you are Palestinians!’ Abbas told the joyous crowd, waving PA flags in the PA capital of Ramallah, located in Samaria.

‘You have proof that you are stronger than the occupation, because you are Palestinians… stronger than the settlements, because you are Palestinians.

‘We were threatened with punishment and sanctions from various sides,’ Abbas continued, in a reference to attempts by the United States and Israel to dissuade him from proceeding with the application.

‘And if we had listened to those threats we wouldn’t have gone to the U.N.

‘One day, a young Palestinian will raise the Palestinian flag over Jerusalem,’ he vowed, ‘the eternal capital of the state of Palestine!'” Source – INN.

Flashback: Abbas: The Goal of the Palestinian People are Pre-1967 Borders – “The goal of the Palestinian people is the realisation of their inalienable national rights in their independent State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital, on all the land of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, which Israel occupied in the June 1967 war, in conformity with the resolutions of international legitimacy and with the achievement of a just and agreed upon solution to the Palestine refugee issue in accordance with Resolution 194, as stipulated in the Arab Peace Initiative which presented the consensus Arab vision …” Read more.

I feel that our Lord is pleased with me, because I am offering something [my son] for Him. I wish to sacrifice more [sons] for Allah’s forgiveness, and for the flag [of Islam], ‘There is no god but Allah’, to fly over Palestine…. It’s true that there’s nothing more precious than children, but for the sake of Allah – what is precious becomes cheap.” Read more.

By Chana Ya’ar, INN – “There are signs of new activity at Syrian chemical weapons sites, Western intelligence officials said, according to The New York Times.

The report, published Saturday, quoted a U.S. intelligence official as saying the regime of President Bashar al-Assad is ‘doing some things that suggest they intend to use the weapons.

‘It’s not just moving stuff around,’ he explained. ‘These are a different kind of activities.’

It is possible Syrian Army forces are preparing to use the weapons in a last-ditch effort to save the government, officials told the paper. However, it is also possible they are simply warning to Western nations about the implications of providing assistance to rebel forces, they added.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has said repeatedly that he will not allow an existential risk to the Jewish State. This past summer, Netanyahu said during an interview on the U.S.-based television program ‘Fox News Sunday’ that it is essential to prevent Syrian weapons from falling into the wrong hands.

One major concern is the possibility that part of the Syrian arsenal may be transferred to Lebanon. ‘Could you imagine Hizbullah – the people are conducting with Iran all these terror attacks around the world – could you imagine them having chemical weapons?’ he asked the interviewer.

‘It would be like Al Qaeda having chemical weapons,’ he continued. ‘It’s something that is not acceptable to us, not acceptable to the United States and to any peaceable country in the world.’ Read more.

Rumors: Activity Could Suggest Assad Has Been Killed Or Has Fled – “Middle East sources add rumors were flying around the region Saturday night and Sunday morning that President Bashar Assad had been killed or fled Syria. Neither is confirmed. However, the rebels have in recent days made major strategic gains and begun to turn the tide of war against’s Assad forces.  The new rumors tie in with the suggestive movements of chemical weapons detected by Western intelligence without any indication of their likely target.” Read more.

By John Rosenthal, WND – “While Obama administration sources continue to suggest that the Sept. 11 anti-American attacks in Benghazi were the work of a ‘rogue’ Libyan militia with links to al-Qaida, a new French documentary reveals just how thoroughly and openly the mainstream of last year’s Libyan rebellion was inspired by al-Qaida and its founder, Osama bin Laden.

Filmmaker Kamal Redouani’s ‘The Arab Spring: Springboard for Radicals?’ was first aired in late October on the French pay channel Canal+ and was recently rebroadcast by the Belgian public broadcaster RTBF.

The film documents the resurgence of radical Islamic forces in three of the main countries of the so-called Arab Spring – Tunisia, Libya and Syria – as well as in Lebanon.

As part of the film, Redouani traveled to the Libyan city of Derna, some 150 miles east of Benghazi. While Benghazi was the political capital of last year’s rebellion against the rule of Moammar Gadhafi, Derna was in the many ways the military epicenter of the rebellion. It was in Derna that a leading rebel commander by the name of Abdul-Hakim al-Hasadi is known to have assembled a battalion of some thousand rebel fighters in the early days of the rebellion.

Al-Hasadi was commonly described in American publications, like the New York Times, as the rebel commander in charge of the ‘defense’ of Derna. The description is odd, since Derna was well behind the frontlines for the entirety of the conflict.

The many European reporters who crossed paths with al-Hasadi during the war discovered a different reality: the rebel commander was using Derna as the staging grounds for offensive forays further to the West. On at least two occasions, for instance, al-Hasadi’s forces seized control of the strategic coastal town of Ajdabiya – namely, after NATO bombing had driven back Gadhafi-loyalist Libyan army troops.

According to Kamal Redouani, Derna is today run by al-Hasadi and his family as an Islamic emirate. On arriving at the outskirts of Derna, Redouani and his team were stopped at a roadblock by armed men making sure that no alcohol or unveiled women entered the city.

Redouani was accompanied into town by none other than Read more…

In other words, he’s apologizing that law enforcement had the audacity to somehow conclude that the number one religious ideology responsible for the vast, overwhelming number of terrorist acts in the world could have possibly been harbouring any potential would-be terrorists at any of its places of worship or study in a country like America. What could possibly have given those crazy officers such a crazy idea? …

Associated Press – “NEWARK, N.J. — New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa quietly visited a Newark mosque Friday that had been listed in a secret report by the New York Police Department, and he reassured worshippers that New Jersey officials do not believe certain groups of citizens have lesser rights than others.

Chiesa attended prayer services at Masjid Ibrahim, a modest, single-story mosque set up inside a ramshackle former commercial space in Newark. The mosque was among several in the report by the NYPD, which conducted surveillance of Muslims in New Jersey and elsewhere.

‘It is not tolerable here in New Jersey for us to have people treated differently in this state — period,’ Chiesa said.

The attorney general’s visit was part of an ongoing effort by his office to repair relations between Muslims and New Jersey law enforcement after The Associated Press uncovered the NYPD spying. The NYPD has said its actions were legal and it has the right to travel to other cities in carrying out its duties.

Explaining to mosque-goers that he had only been in office about a month when the NYPD spying came to light, Chiesa said he was there to listen and answer questions from the community. He said he understood how badly he and his family would feel if they had been subjected to spying at their church or made to feel they could not freely practice their religion.” Read more.

Flashback: New Study Shows That 80% of Mosques in America Teach Jihad Violence and Islamic Supremacism – “… Then there was the Center for Religious Freedom’s 2005 study, and the Mapping Sharia Project’s 2008 study. Each independently showed that upwards of 80% of mosques in America were preaching hatred of Jews and Christians and the necessity ultimately to impose Islamic rule. And now comes yet more confirmation that mosques in the U.S. are teaching these things, and again the percentage is remarkably similar: around 80% of mosques are found to be teaching jihad warfare and Islamic supremacism.” Read more.

By Jonah Goldberg – “What do you call a leader of a theocratic and cultish movement with a deep and clear disdain for democracy who suddenly assumes dictatorial powers?

A ‘moderate,’ of course.

Ever since the Muslim Brotherhood broke its promise to stay out of Egypt’s presidential election in the aftermath of the revolution, many Western observers have been in denial about what has been going on. In less than half a year, Mohammed Morsi has deftly built the foundation for despotism.

Much as the Nazis brilliantly cast themselves as reformers sweeping away the corruption of the Weimar Republic, Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood have been using the effort to clean up the detritus of Hosni Mubarak’s dictatorship as an excuse to consolidate power.

In August, when Islamists attacked Egyptian soldiers in the Sinai in an apparent effort to force Egypt into a confrontation with Israel, Morsi used the incident as an excuse to replace Mohamed Hussein Tantawi – a Mubarak-era holdover who headed the military and guarded its independence – with officers more pliable to the Brotherhood.

‘Are we looking at a president determined to dismantle the machine of tyranny,’ Alaa Al Aswany, a democratic activist, asked at the time, ‘or one who is retooling the machine of tyranny to serve his interests?’ That question quickly became, at best, rhetorical.

Morsi proceeded to purge scores of newspaper editors and publishers, declare himself in charge of the drafting of the new constitution and all but wore a sandwich board with the words ‘I’m becoming a dictator!’ on it.

As if to hammer it home, Morsi last week announced that his rule was immune to judicial oversight of any kind. He used the failure of the courts to adequately punish Mubarak-era holdovers as an excuse. It was just that – an excuse, not an explanation.

Morsi softened his language Monday, but aides insisted his edict stood. And the Brotherhood’s position remains clear. ‘If democracy means that people decide who leads them, then (we) accept it; if it means that people can change the laws of Allah and follow what they wish to follow, then it is not acceptable,’ the Brotherhood explained on its website in 2005.

Morsi did have another excuse for seizing power: The timing was good.” Read more.

At this rate, by the time March gets here the Ayatollahs may have absolutely no reason to cooperate with the IAEA. What they may have, however, is a reason for the IAEA to cooperate with the Ayatollahs …

NTI – “The United States warned on Thursday it could seek U.N. Security Council intervention if Iran fails by March to begin collaborating substantively with a deadlocked international probe into its nuclear activities, Reuters reported.

Several 2012 meetings between Tehran and the U.N. nuclear watchdog have failed to yield a plan for resolving questions over possible Iranian nuclear weapon-related experimentation. Iran contends its atomic efforts are strictly peaceful and has demanded records forming the basis for the agency’s suspicions over arms activities.

‘If by March Iran has not begun substantive cooperation with the IAEA, the United States will work with other board members to pursue appropriate board action, and would urge the board to consider reporting this lack of progress to the U.N. Security Council,’ said Robert Wood, the chief U.S. delegate to the Vienna, Austria-based organization.

‘Iran cannot be allowed to indefinitely ignore its obligations … Iran must act now, in substance,’ Wood added in prepared remarks.

It is uncertain if a potential bid to refer the stalemate to the Security Council would win support from Beijing or Moscow, according to Reuters. The international body to date has adopted four sanctions resolutions aimed at pressuring Tehran to address global fears over Iranian nuclear efforts.” Read more.

IAEA Inspectors Find Documents Indicating Iran Building Powerful Nuclear Device Triple The Force Of Hiroshima Bomb – “Iran is planning to build a nuclear bomb with at least triple the force of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in World War II, diagrams obtained by the Associated Press indicates.

The document was published by the AP Tuesday after, the news agency said, it was leaked by officials critical of the way the West has been handling the Iran issue.” Read more.
