Dubai Ports World is scheduled to take over operations at 22 U.S. ports, not six as previously reported by most major media.
According to the website of P&O Ports, the port-operations subsidiary of the London-based Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co. (P&O), DPW will pick up stevedore services at 12 East Coast

15: The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment,(because of the radiation) weeping and mourning aloud, 16: "Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked with gold, with jewels, and with pearls! 17: In one hour all this wealth has been laid waste." And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off 18: and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, (mushroom cloud)"What city was like the great city?" (New York?) 19: And they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and mourned, crying out, "Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! In one hour she has been laid waste.
Well, that's it, then. It has been forecast in Revelation that DP World will blow up our ports, and prophecy is infallible.
This is so out of control...it's embarrassing.
The funny thing is someone posted the same verses yesterday and they actually saw it as proof that not only would DPI blow up our ports, they saw in the verse how, what city, and what ship..... Don't tell the bashbots...
Its sad that it took WND over a week to type in P&O on their google page and pop up the public information about U.S. holdings.
Not as sad as how many media outlets said "6" because that's what Chuck Schumer said.
Or about how many think this was some "secret". Or that the deal was "secret" when it's a public company and you can find the deal on the P&O web site.
DP World also has a very nice web site with lots of information about their ports and their board of directors and investors and stuff.
This whole fabricated non-crisis port issue has been built on the premise that a lie repeated often enought becomes truth. It's been repeated 7/24 for the last week.
John on Patmos wasn't talking about NYC.
The poll has shifted dramatically.
Nevermind, I just saw the source.. Don't get me wrong, WND is good for somethings, but I don't believe they could spell stevedor at that, know what kind of service it is..
22 22 we have 22. Do I hear 50? Do I hear 50. We have 2. Do I hear 50? going once ... going twice ...
Ah. But Nostradamus predicted that the Muslims would destroy the Port of Marseilles. Glory Be!

The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia
http://www.nscsaamerica.com/
The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (NSCSA) was established in 1979 to meet the transportation needs of Importers and Exporters in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Middle East.
By 1983, NSCSA has established itself as a combination Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro), Container and Breakbulk carrier, operating 8 fully owned vessels. It had become one of the world's largest Ro-Ro operators, offering liner services linking the Middle East with North America, the Far East and Europe.
In 1991, NSCSA (America) Inc., was established to serve as the General Agent in North America for the Liner Service between U.S., Canada and the Middle East/India Subcontinent/East Mediterranean regions.
NSCSA specializes in Project, Heavy Lift and Ro-Ro cargoes, as well as containers.
In 1997, NSCSA began service between North America and Italy, Greece and Turkey.

I'll have to differ with you. To me- it's clearly a port- although I'll agree with you that "Babylon" is a term for the entire world's bent against God. Although the Bible does mention spiritual Babylon (Jerusalem), and an economic Babylon- which very well may be the U.S. Besides- our "Merchants are the great men of the earth". Who would you have dinner with -- Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs-- these are the earth's heavy finiancial hitters.'

-- give them time- ha :)
"...prophecy is infallible."
grab your plastic jug and go stand in line.
John Gibson is having a guy on his radio show who was apparently a falconer for our "friends" in the UAE. He sounds like he was doing a lot more than just handling birds. He was on Gibsons TV show a few minutes ago and talked about our "friends" giving money and equipment to Bin Laden at these falconing camps.

Eerily echoed here by David Horowitz, a conservative Jewish, but definitely not a Christian, apologist:
Doubt it. At the time it was written John's readers would have understood the buying and selling as taking place in the current mega-trading capital of the world...Rome. They wouldn't care too much about NYC.
However, everything after Rev. 3 deals with the great sweep of history, really. Thus, this passage indicates all the great trading ports that have ever existed throughout history. Every prophecy in the Bible isn't geared to specifics in the 20th and 21st centuries as many would have you think.
I wonder how many people know that the # of terminals they'll be operating at each port is a fraction of the total terminals at the port?
US Law forbids a single entity in owning more than 30% of the terminal operations at any port.
I would guess the number of people that know this is probably less than 2%.
More mindnumbing irrational panic. Disgusting and repulsive to see the GOP sucked in by the left's mass hysteria.
