The American aircraft carrier USS Nimitz was recalled from the Persian Gulf on Friday, along with the destroyer USS Graveley from the Mediterranean Sea. The move comes less than a week after Russia sent its most powerful warships to the Mediterranean.Al Jazeera reports the Nimitz moved through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea, and is anticipated to reach the US in late December. It was scheduled to return in August but was left in the region for a military presence.The US ships were assigned to the region months ago as US President Barack Obama considered a military strike on Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime. On Friday the US Defense Department announced their removal, signalling the Obama administration's total abandonment of a Syrian military option.The move further signals a weakening of US military presence in the Middle East, precisely as Russia stands to heighten its influence.Following cooling American relations with both Egypt and Saudi Arabia, Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit Egypt later this month, which many see as an attempt to replace America's role as military provider to the country. America partially froze military aid to Egypt after former President Mohammed Morsi was deposed.Putin is expected to announce an arms deal during his visit, which coincides with earlier reports of a 15 billion dollar arms deal in the works for Egypt, partially funded by Saudi Arabia.US Navy presence in the Middle East was increased following the chemical weapon strike on Damascus August 21. After deliberating a military reaction, Obama  announced on August 31 that he would ask for approval first from Congress, where the move met opposition.Still in the region for America are the USS Harry S Truman aircraft carrier in the North Arabian Sea, along with two destroyers and a cruiser in the eastern Mediterranean, according to Al Jazeera.

Bennett on Iran: 'We Will Never Outsource Our Security'

Minister of Economy and Diaspora Affairs Naftali Bennett pens open letter reiterating Israeli preparedness to 'go it alone' on Iran.-By Ari Yashar-First Publish: 11/9/2013, 7:52 PM-Israelnationalnews

Naftali Bennett-Flash 90
On Saturday night MK Naftali Bennett (Bayit Yehudi/Jewish Home), Minister of Economy and Diaspora Affairs and member of the Security Cabinet, wrote a letter in response to nuclear talks with Iran and American intentions to weaken sanctions on the regime.The letter comes as US Secretary of State John Kerry is currently in Geneva holding three-way nuclear talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.Many fear that the talks will yield an imminent deal that will weaken sanctions on Iran in return for token gestures which leave Iran's nuclear capabilities intact.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with Kerry before he left for Geneva and told him that Israel "utterly rejects" the proposed deals and is not obliged by them.Bennett says the world is at a choice point, either to insist Iran dismantle its entire nuclear weapons program, or else leave the centrifuges intact to be turned on in the future and place the world in danger.After calling on the West not to sign a bad deal with Iran, Bennett reiterates that Israel will defend itself, hinting that Israel is prepared to take an independent military strike on Iran if its security interests are ignored in the nuclear talks.Bennett's letter reads as follows:
These critical days in November will be remembered for years to come.The Free World stands before a fork in the road with a clear choice: Either stand strong and insist Iran dismantles its nuclear-weapons program, or surrender, cave in and allow Iran to retain its 18,500 centrifuges.
Years from now, when an Islamic terrorist blows up a suitcase in New York, or when Iran launches a nuclear missile at Rome or Tel Aviv, it will have happened only because a Bad Deal was made during these defining moments.Like in a boxing match, Iran's regime is currently on the floor. The count is just seconds away from 10. Now is the time to step up the pressure and force Iran to dismantle its nuclear program. Not to let it up.It would be dangerous to lift the sanctions and accept a deal which allows Iran to retain its entire uranium-production line.It would be dangerous because Iran would, a year, two or three from now, just turn everything back on and obtain a nuclear weapon before the world can do anything to stop it. It is not enough to shut off the centrifuges. They need to be completely dismantled. We call upon the West to avoid signing a Bad Deal. Israel's responsibility is to ensure the security of its citizens and that is exactly what we will do. We will never outsource our security. 


FALSE POPE FROM THE VATICAN

REVELATION 13:11-13
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;(FALSE VATICAN POPE) and he had two horns like a lamb,(JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD) and he spake as a dragon.(HES SATANICALLY INSPIRED,HES A CHRISTIAN DEFECTOR FROM THE FAITH)
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,(WORLD DICTATOR) and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.(THE WORLD DICTATOR CREATES A FALSE RESURRECTION AND IS CROWNED LEADER OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER).
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

REVELATION 17:1-5,9,15-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE WORLD OVER 1 BILLION)
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,(WORLD DICTATOR) these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

“Tsar” Putin to pay a visit to Francis

The Russian president is due to meet the Bishop of Rome this month. Here are the reasons and implications behind a meeting that is full of possibilities

Gianni Valente vatican city The date for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Rome to meet Pope Francis has been set for the afternoon of  November 25th. By that time, the new Secretary of State, Pietro Parolin will be present in the Vatican and will have started his official duties.The Russian president was very eager that this visit to the Bishop of Rome should take place. Last week, the Kremlin’s diplomats were told to include Rome in Putin’s Italian itinerary. Putin is going to be visiting Trieste for the Italian-Russian inter-governmental summit, scheduled for next 26 November. The Holy See promptly accepted the request. Putin will also be meeting the President of the Italian Republic, Giorgio Napolitano while he is in Rome.The determined way in which Putin sought a meeting with Pope Francis is an important sign. It is not just the prospect of publicity that motivated the Russian president’s wish to visit the Pope. The strong impression among the upper echelons of Russian power over the past weeks has been that with Francis, the relationship between Russia and the Catholic Church can venture down new untrodden paths.With the open letter sent to Putin at the beginning of September, ahead of the G20 in St. Petersburg, the Bishop of Rome recognised Russia as a global player  that cannot be left out of the search for solutions to existing conflicts and regional crises. During that period, Pope Francis’ speeches and Vatican diplomacy on the Syrian conflict – starting with the day of fasting prayer on 7 September –converged unexpectedly and objectively with Russia’s diplomatic strategy which was about to defuse the threat of an external military intervention in Syria and begin the process of destroying Assad’s chemical weapons.The resolute clarity of the Pope’s addresses regarding the situation in Syria sparked admiration among Russia’s government and diplomatic circles. Shortly after this, just before the anniversary of the September 11 attacks, even Patriarch Kiril of Russia felt the impulse to write a letter to President Obama, urging against a military intervention – seen as imminent - by the West against Assad.The ongoing vicissitudes of the old Christian communities of the Middle East are sure to be at the centre of Putin’s meeting with the Pope. A common concern for the region’s Churches is another point that has bound the Holy See and the Kremlin together in recent months, particularly after the Marronite Patriarch Bechara Boutros al-Rai’s visit to Moscow and the participation of many bishops and Middle Eastern patriarchs in the celebrations for the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Kievan Rus.The Russian administration has been trying to establish a new “protectorate” over the Middle East’s Christians for some time now. For his part,  Francis has not given any ammunition to Western – and also Russian - circles that are trying to exploit the misfortunes and persecutions of Middle Eastern Christians to foment Islamophobic sentiment. In his messages, Francis has steered clear of the celebrational propaganda of the enigmatic “Arab Spring” revolts and of the sense of nostalgia for the old “protective” authoritarian regimes expressed by some high representative or other of the Churches in the Middle East.There is no Holy Alliance between Russia and the Holy See on the horizon. But Russia's eagerness to get to know Pope Francis better is motivated by some interesting prophesies. As a Jesuit, Francis is well aware of the fact that Russia – as China – are key historical players on the world stage and cannot be left out of any sincere attempt at ensuring shared leadership in today's globalised world. In addition, the fact that Francis was chosen “from the other side of the world” seems to have shelved the mistaken idea - of the past few decades - that Catholicism is the religious corrolary of the North Atlantic Alliance. Under Francis' leadership, the Church seems to be freeing itself of any intention of steering historical events. It is therefore free to look at geopolitical dynamics, leaving aside biased attitudes and the traps set by conflicts among civilizations.Putin's meeting with Francis could have significant ecclesial consequences which could take any shape or form and any length of time to manifest themselves. In his interview with Antonio Spadaro, the director of Jesuit journal Civiltà Cattolica, Francis stressed the urgent need to resume theological dialogue with the Orthodox Church regarding the issue of primacy which led to the signing of the Ravenna document.So far, the Patriarchate of Moscow has shown a reluctance to move quickly along the path of theological dialogue – the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople plays a pre-eminent role here – preferring the “alliance” between the Churches approach, in defence of moral values. But under Francis' pontificate, any ancestral antipapist mistrust which may have been cultivated inside the Russian Orthodox Church, could begin to drift away. The current Successor of Peter has shown a clear willingness to “learn” from the ecclesiology of his Orthodox brothers. In his interview with Spadaro, Francis said that “from them we can learn more about the meaning of episcopal collegiality and the tradition of synodality.”

The Pope has already acted on his words in terms of the work that is going to be done by the Synod of Bishops. In reference to the issue of remarried divorcees, the Pope has often referred to the Orthodox Church practice of blessing second marriages under certain conditions as an example that could help the Catholic Church find a solution to its pastoral problems in this field. This issue is going to be discussed at the next two bishops' Synods on the family.For unexpected reasons, Putin's visit to the Vatican is being brought forward in relation to the meeting scheduled some time ago by Pope Francis and Russian Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev. Ther Patriarchate of Moscow's “foreign affairs minister” will be in Rome on 12 November to present a book entitled “Word of God and word of man” with contributions from Russian philosopher Sergej Averintsev (1937-2004).Meanwhile, Francis seems to be popular among ordinary Orthodox faithful in Russia as well.In November 2003, when asked when Russia was going to open its doors to John Paul I, Putin carefully eliminated media-influenced concerns about the destinations that were off limits to the globetrotter Pope: “The aim,” the Russian president said, “is not so much to ensure a visit by the Pope, but to promote unity among Christians.” Almost two years prior to this, the establishment of four Catholic dioceses in Russia, had rekindled Russia's aversion towards the Polish Pope, who was accused of wanting to put down the flag of Catholicism in Orthodoxy's canonical territories.Now the landscape looks rather different. A potential visit by Francis to Russia could even eliminate concerns about the Catholic Church's alleged plans to hegemonise the territories east of the Dnepr. So far, Putin has never once extended an invitation to a Pope to visit Moscow as Gorbacev did to John Paul II back in 1989. But now, Putin himself is in a position to exercise a soft moral suasion on Moscow's Patriarchate, thereby favouring the path towards sacramental unity between Catholic and Orthodox Christians. What remains to be seen is whether the leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church will simply be good neighbours and content themselves with ecumenical pleasantries or whether they will grab the chance to make the calculations of sacred officialdom a thing of the past.

Francis: Members of the Church are always in need of conversion

Cardinals hold a meeting with the Pope

On today’s Feast of the of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica Francis prayed that people of the Church would allow Jesus to convert them always

Domenico Agasso jr Rome “Ecclesia semper reformanda is one of the main passages in Francis’ brief homily at the St. Martha’s House mass on the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica, Vatican Radio reports. 
The Pope recalled how today’s feast day is also the feast of the city of Rome, the Church of Rome and the Universal Church. The Lateran Basilica (or the Basilica of Saint John Lateran in Rome) is the cathedral of Rome and “Mother of all the churches urbe et orbe”.Francis described the “three icons” in the day’s readings, which speak of the Church. “From the first reading of Ezekiel and in Psalm 45, the icon of the river that runs from the Temple and in which the city of God rejoices is the image of the grace that sustains and nurtures the life of the Church.”“In the second reading of Saint Paul to the Corinthians, the icon of the rock, which is Jesus Christ, is the foundation on which the Church is built.”“The Gospel reading of the purification of the Temple (in John’s Gospel) is the icon of the reform of the Church—“Ecclesia semper reformanda”—because the members of the Church are always sinners and in need of conversion.”The Pope ended his homily by inviting faithful to pray so “that the Church may always let the waters of grace flow, that it may be founded always on Christ and remain faithful, and that its members allow themselves to be always converted by Jesus.”
