http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3527/european-court-justice-ngo-monitor The European Commission in recent years has been funding rabidly anti-Israel and anti-Semitic campaign groups. Parading under the banner-term of “NGOs,” they have one concerted aim, which is to manipulate international opinion against Israel: Foreign government-funded subversion of a democracy. Few people would ever label the hydra-like institutions of the European Union as transparent… […]

In “Toxic Nationalism,” an essay published in The Wall Street Journal last week, Kaplan observes that “Western elites” regard their […]

The Climateers who would blame the flu on global warming if they could, never mention this one….a major disaster in November 1913….because climate catastrophes happen from time immemorial…and are not caused by man made climate change….
The Great Lakes Storm of 1913, historically referred to as the “Big Blow”, the “Freshwater Fury”, or the “White Hurricane”, was a blizzard with hurricane force winds of 90 miles an hour from November 7-November 1913. It battered the Great Lakes and Ontario, overturned 19 ships and left many others stranded. The waves were 35 feet high and killed more than 250 people.
November gales plagued the Great Lakes region with 25 major storms since 1847 which destroyed homes and cargo ships. The last big one was in 1996.

Extremism unchecked in schools, secret briefing reveals
More than 100 independent faith schools may be radicalising students, the Department of Education has warned in a secret memo which admits that officials are struggling to tackle extremism in state and private schools.
Michael Gove, the education secretary, was one of the key voices calling for a ban on support for non-violent extremism when it published its Prevent strategy to fight radicalisation last year.
But behind closed doors there are concerns about 118 “socially conservative” independent faith schools – the vast majority of them Muslim – where pupils may be encouraged to cut themselves off from mainstream society.
Ministers have been told they do not have “detailed information” about the religious orientation of the groups and movements behind all independent faith schools.
And officials have privately admitted that they also have no system in place to identify institutional extremism in state schools, the Daily Telegraph has learned.
They say there is also “a gap between what we think we know and what we can prove” because they cannot use undercover methods open to journalists.
From January, the Independent School Standards will require a respect for “fundamental British values” including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
Ofsted has not yet trained its inspectors in how to enforce such standards but it is introducing a “specialist cadre” of inspectors to look at faith schools as part of a planned “prioritised inspection programme.”
However, the education department has admitted in briefings that it can only look at the “ethos” of independent schools, rather than how they are actually run.

DAVID ISAAC PRODUCER OF THE EXCELLENT SERIES ZIONISM 101 http://zionism101.org/ IS PRODUCING A FIVE PART SERIES ON CHRISTIAN ZIONISM. I HAVE SEEN SOME TRAILERS AND IT WILL B THE BEST, MOST COMPLETE AND ORIGINAL TREATMENT OF THIS TOPIC….STAY TUNED AND VISIT HIS SITE…..RSK
On December 15, All Saints Episcopal Church of Pasadena hosted the annual convention of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, a group with Muslim Brotherhood origins and a controversial past. The question of why All Saints would collaborate with this specific group persisted. The answer came during the event when Reverend Ed Bacon listed “acts of evil” committed by Christians and included “evangelical Zionism.”
The first hint of a political objective behind this interfaith gathering came during a December 6 press conference. Salam al-Marayati, the president of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), said that his organization seeks to help the U.S. act as an “honest broker” for peace in the Middle East. This is a soft way of saying that the U.S. must take a tough stand towards Israel, as evidenced by MPAC’s record of anti-Israel activism. The All Saints Episcopal Church leadership was standing with him.
During the opening session, Reverend Ed Bacon talks of his “heartbreaking” visit to the Gaza Strip in 2002, where he visited the “Red Crescent Society” and met with its leader. Presumably, he was referring to the Palestine Red Crescent Society, an anti-Israel humanitarian group that accuses Israel of “continuous targeting of civilians and their properties and hampering the access of medical personnel and ambulances to casualties.”
In a later session, Bacon said that he’d speak about problems in his own religion’s past. He said “the history of Christianity is littered with acts of evil.” He mentioned the Crusades, slavery, the Jim Crow laws, Islamophobia and “evangelical Zionism, where Christian right-wing evangelicals are paying for the growth of settlements in the West Bank.” He claimed that there are “an awful lot of people who are paid by the industry of fear.”
Al-Marayati said at the convention that MPAC has worked with All Saints Church since 1990. This means that the partnership was not severed when al-Marayati said in 1999 that Hezbollah’s attacks on Israeli soldiers is “legitimate resistance” and MPAC founder and senior adviser Maher Hathout’s 1998 statement that Hezbollah is fighting for “an American value—freedom and liberty.”
