25 Warnings in Ten Years to the United States - Bill Koenig
In John McTernan's and my book, "Israel: The Blessing or the Curse," we showed how the Lord over ten years has given the United States 21 warnings the same day the U.S. has pressed Israel to give up their land. There were record-setting earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms, floods and stock market corrections. I have also included 4 more since President George W. Bush took a more active role in the Middle East talks.
October 30, 1991 - President George W. Bush and Russian President Michael Gorbachev begin the Madrid Conference. The Perfect Storm (a movie and book were written about it) begins forming in the Atlantic. It develops into the largest Atlantic waves in history.
October 31, 1991 - Syria and the Palestinians say Israel must give up their land for peace. The Perfect Strom hits the New England coast causing $1 million in damage to President George H.W. Bush Kennebunkport home.
August 23, 1992: The Madrid talks move to Washington. The day the conference begins Hurricane Andrew, the most expensive storm in U.S. history, clobbers Southern Florida and Louisiana.
September 13, 1993: Israel and the PLO sign a joint agreement; the same day Hurricane Emily hits the North Carolina coast.
January 4, 1994: U.S. Clinton and Assad meet in Geneva, Switzerland calling for Israel to leave the Golan Heights. Within hours the 6.9 Northridge earthquake rocks Southern California, the second most expensive national disaster in history.
March 1, 1997: Arafat arrives in Washington to discuss the Har Homa Housing project in Israel. The Israeli government had started buidling 6500 housing units in East Jerusalem. Arafat leaves on March 2 for a U.S. speaking tour against Israel. On the day Arafat begins his speakig tour powerful tornados devastate huge sections of the nation, tornados hit Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. While Arafat continued his speaking tour storms stalled over Ohio and caused serious flooding. The tornadoes destoyed Arkadelphia, Arkansas, while the flooding destroyed Falmouth, Kentucky. The storms did over $1 billion in damage. Also, heavy snow fell in March and April causing the worst flooding in a century in the Dakotas. This too was a billion dollar disaster. (Note: March 1 was also the day President Clinton signed into law a bill that would release $385 million to 100 countries for family planning, some of the money could be used for abortion.)
July 2, 1997: Thailand devalues currency which helps begin world economic destabilization. July 15, 1997 the UN votes to condemn Israel's housing construction.
January 21, 1998: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is pressured to give up land by Clinton and Albright. They refuse to have lunch with him. That afternoon the Monica Lewinsky case breaks.
September 24, 1998: Clinton announces Arafat. Netanyahu comes to the UN to discuss stalled peace talks. Hurricane George builds and zeroes in on Key West.
September 27, 1998: Albright working out final details: Georges slams Gulf Coast - 110 mph, gusts up to 115 mph and flooding.
September 28, 1998: Clinton meets Arafat and Netanyahu at White House to finalize land giveaway. Hurricane George lingers. Arafat speaks to rousing and sustained ovation at the United Nations. George smashes Gulf Coast, Arafat leaves the storm dissipates.
October 15, 1998: The Wye River talks begin. Heavy rain and tornado hits Texas. San Antonio receives 20 inches and experiences major flooding. On October 21, Clinton declares disaster. On October 23, the Wye meetings end.

December 1, 1998: The U.S. House deliberates articles of impeachment on Dec. 12 four articles are approved. Clinton meets with the Palestinians in a controlled section in Israel at the same time the impeachment newsbreaks. Clinton calls for statehood status for the Palestinians and for a capital to be in Jerusalem. Clinton becomes the first President to be impeached in 130 years.
December 15, 1998: Clinton arrives home. Four days later the U.S. House accepts two articles of impeachment. Two weeks before there were not enough votes, Clinton commits $300 to $500 million to the Palestinians, and at the exact time there was a heart change in the House and he was impeached.
March 23, 1999: Arafat meets Clinton in Washington on Israel land giveaway. Dow tumbles 219 points. The next day Clinton authorizes a Serbia attack. Russia becomes very angry and World War III almost begins. Russia and China are brought together due over the Kosovo incident.
May 3, 1999: Arafat is prepared to declare Jerusalem the capital of his new state. Clinton sends Arafat a letter encouraging aspirations of his own land and the right to determines their own future the right to live in freedom today, tomorrow and forever. Record breaking tornadoes hit Oklahoma and Kansas, the 316 mph winds are the highest wind speeds in history.
August 30, 2001: Hurricane Dennis lingers on the East Coast. Sept. 1, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright meets with Arab leaders and Barak. On Sept 3 Hurricane Dennis continues to linger and drops enormous rains.
September 13, 1999: Israeli Foreign Minister and Arafat's Deputy workout a final status deal on Israel's land giveaway. Hurricane Floyd, a Category 5 storm, becomes a monster storm and slams into the North Carolina coast dropping 20 inches of rain killing 100,000 hogs; 2.47 million chickens; and 500,000 turkeys.
September 21, 1999: Arafat comes to Washington and visits the UN to discuss Wye. From Sept. 21-23 the Dow drops 524 points. This was a very destructive month.
Week of October 11, 1999: Jewish Settlers from 15 West Bank settlements evicted. While Israel was forcing the settlers off the covenant land, the stock market was melting down. On October 15, the market lost 266 points! Also on October 15, Hurricane Irene hit North Carolina, and on the morning of the 16th, a powerful 7.1 earthquake rocked the Southwest.
January 3-4, 2000: Barak agrees to hand over 5% of its territories to the Palestinians, with complete transfer by the end of the week. Dow drops 359 points, NASDAQ 229 points, and the worst drop ever, with over $600 billion in market capitalization wiped out. Barak has a Golan Heights meeting.

Fires begin in Western United States; 7 million acres burn some of the worst in history. Montana and Wyoming declared disaster areas. Dan Glickman the Secretary of Agriculture reported that the winds were equivalent of the Perfect Storm because there was high winds, high temperatures, lightning and no rain.
July 28, 2000: Texas declares 195 counties disaster areas due to a drought, the worst in history for that region.
March 31, 2001: On the day Egyptian President Hosni Mubarek arrived in Washington, a Chinese fighter jet "bumped" into one of our EP-3 reconnaissance planes, forcing it-along with the 24-person crew-to make an emergency landing in China. The resulting crisis completely overshadowed the visits of Mubarek and King Abdullah II.
April 10, 2001: Jordan's King Abdullah II arrived in Washington earlier in the week to speaks with Christian leaders, members of Congress and others to get behind the initiative. He visits the White House on April 10 and then returns home to Jordan. The next day China agrees to release the "detained" airmen from the downed plane. The extremely valuable aircraft remains behind in China, evidently to be shipped home in pieces.
May 22, 2001: President Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell publicly endorse the Mitchell Report. Concurrently, Vermont Senator James Jeffords is rumored to be leaving the Republican Party. Vermont-already a pro-choice state-becomes the first to approve same sex-unions. That same day, the Dalai Lama arrives in Washington. This visit angers China, and the Chinese Premier calls Bush "unfit" to be President.
May 25, 2001: Senator Jeffords leaves the Republican Party, becoming an Independent, allowing the Democrats to obtain a majority in the Senate, throwing judicial and diplomatic nominations into question. On the same day, Daniel Kurtzer is nominated for Ambassador to Israel and endorsed by pro-land giveaway Reform and Conservative Jews, making up 85% of American Jewry.
June 8, 2001: Reuters News Service reports that United States CIA director George Tenet and a special envoy from Washington have spearheaded an international effort on Friday "to strengthen a fragile Israeli-Palestinian cease-fire" plagued by fresh violence. The Central Intelligence Agency director hosted talks between senior Israeli and Palestinian security officials in Ramallah, while Assistant Secretary of State William Burns met Palestinian President Yasser Arafat in the West Bank.
June 8, 2001: Catastrophic flooding overnight brings the Houston area to a near standstill, with nearly 10,000 people left homeless and 3,000 homes and businesses affected, Gov. Rick Perry declares a state of emergency in the Houston area and 28 southeast Texas counties. More than two feet of rain fell at Bush Intercontinental Airport causing flights to be cancelled until early Sunday morning.
September 11, 2001: The greatest attack ever on American soil occurred. The hijacking of four airplanes and the attack on the World Trade Center (WTC)in New York City and the Pentagon left upwards of 6,000 dead and thousands injured. These suicide attacks by Muslim terrorists caused over $100 billion in damage and financial losses and stunned the country.
The attack was aimed right at the financial heart of the United States. The effect of this attack on the stock market was devastating. The week after the attack was one of the worst ever for the stock market. It may be the catalyst for an economic depression that could affect the entire world.
President Bush refused, when asked, to say whether he had been prepared to announce his support for a Palestinian state prior to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on Washington and New York.
A CNN article stated that State Department and other senior administration officials have told CNN that drafts of a major policy speech on the Middle East, to be delivered by Secretary of State Powell, had been circulating within the State Department for review.
These officials said the speech was to "clarify its [U.S.] views on an end result" of the (MidEast) peace process, which would lead to the eventual "creation of a Palestinian state."
Powell had expected to deliver the speech on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly that began on September 23, but that plan was put on hold after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. A future address to the UN was postponed because security couldn't be guaranteed for UN members. This was not just a coincidence.
"It will go farther than we have ever gone," one official said of Powell's speech. "There is an awful lot more that we view as being the end result than what we have said so far."
One point being hotly debated is whether to "call for ending all settlement activity," including so-called natural growth of existing settlements—something previous U.S. administrations have come close to doing, but have never done.
The same official said that such a speech would be a powerful palliative" to the Arab world. "It eases the pain," the official said. "It would end the perception we only move against Islam."
"We are getting hammered in the Arab world," this official said. "And it is not a mystery that one of the ways to diffuse this" is to see some movement on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Printer friendly version
...and Lincolns secretary warned him not to go to the theatre. And Kennedys secratary Lincoln warned him not to go to Dallas. We need a Israel/US coinsidence coin!

"In the Gulf of Mexico, where Liu has been working in back-barrier freshwater lakes, the geological evidence for hurricanes extends further back into history, though it is somewhat less precise in the storm-by-storm details. “Our records go back about 5,000 years, and we definitely see a long-term cycle,” he notes. From about 5,000 to 3,400 years ago, hurricane patterns in the Gulf Coast were relatively mild. From 3,400 to 1,000 years ago, the region endured a “hyperactive” period. The past 1,000 years have been relatively placid.
“The good news is that we are living in a quiet period,” Liu says. “The bad news is that if we think we have seen too many catastrophic hurricanes coming our way, we haven't seen anything yet.”
So were Indians being punished for not supporting a country they'd never even heard of in the period of hyperactive Gulf of Mexico hurricane activity from 3,400 to 1,000 years ago?
This is the primitivism of which George Will spoke.
This sort of jerk-off brainlessness sounds like...ding ding ding ISLAM. Smells and looks ilke it too. See, if you can't distinguish between A and B, you generally accept that they are the same.
I wonder how long it is until the mental defective who push this tripe figure out that they are worshipping Allah.
WITHIN HOURS??? The Northridge Quake struck January 17th, at 4:31 am, some two weeks later (I'll never forget it). This sounds like Louis Farrakhan math.
Wow ,everytime I ask a girl out on a date those very same things happen . What's God trying to tell ME?
I remember that day too. It was MLK day, didn't have school. What loonies.
I guess its a good thing I'm going to church tomorrow.
Ping.
"January 4, 1994: U.S. Clinton and Assad meet in Geneva, Switzerland calling for Israel to leave the Golan Heights. Within hours the 6.9 Northridge earthquake rocks Southern California, the second most expensive national disaster in history"
Dude plays fast and loose with dates on this one. Northridge quake was January 17. Within hours of Jan 4 I guess. But a whole lot of hours
Let's only worry what they think when it affects their ability and motivation to kill us, directly or indirectly. That goes for Jewish and Arab nations alike.
As it is, both groups deserve attention concerning our image.
Europeans, in contrast, are nutless blowhards, completely lacking in genuine intent to menace but for inconsequential words like my own.
Don't understand your question or comment. But thats probably what the girl is wondering as well.
Theodicy is the fancy theological/philosophical term for the attempt to justify the ways, acts, justice and goodness of God in the face of suffering, death and evil to an incredulous jury of humans. We Christians have floated some doozies.
Christian and Hebrew theologians, philosophers and kibitzers for thousands of years have struggled to come up with a plausible defense of God's goodness and power, given the daily reality of evil, because, well, God hasn't really produced an alibi for himself.
Once, at the end of the Old Testament wisdom book of Job, God could have explained it all, but He didn't. God makes a personal appearance out of the whirlwind just as the argument between Job and his so-called friends gets really interesting, meaning the finger finally gets pointed directly at God. God appears dramatically and essentially tells Job that it's none of Job's business why he's suffering and that Job wouldn't understand anyway.
The writer's elaborate, but single, point of the story of Job is that human speculation on such matters is folly at best, and idolatry and heretical at worse. But Job's message and warning don't seem to give us pause.
We Christians today, however well-intentioned, often fall off the horse on one side or the other by speculating with pious platitudes about why some terrible event has occurred. And indeed, all theodicies are pure speculation unless God has directly and specifically revealed His will and purpose to a credible prophet who comes to us with "Thus saith the Lord."
Once the speculation has begun, there's no way to judge it, evaluate it, or refute it because speculation by definition is completely subjective and unverifiable. Unchecked, the likelihood of theological mischief and stupidity is great amongst theodicy speculators.
Theodicies are theological and philosophical La Brea Tar Pits. Once we take the plunge, we're stuck forever, and all of our struggling only sinks us deeper and deeper into the pit. First, we're hit with the question: How can we offer a defense of God that's considered depraved when invoked by humans? Second, once we engage in the parlor game of second guessing God, anything goes.

What is funny is they only go back as far as Bush Sr. What about all the other natural disasters that happened before 1991, like the 1906 San Fransisco earthquake. Now I know why Mt.St.Hellens blew up, it was Carter's fault for screwing up Iran.
