It Is Time To Cast a Worried Eye Towards Yellowstone
From Your Own World USA. At issue: Yellowstone National Park, which includes Old Faithful Geyser and all the other geysers, is basically an active volcano. And now it might be about to erupt. Such an eruption could bury everything up to six hundred miles away in volcanic ash. This article even has specific recommendations concerning the sort of supplies to buy and have on hand against such an event.::Submitted for your earthquakes in divers places [Matthew 24] files.

Editor of London's Al-Sharq Al-Awsat Daily: Arafat and Abu Mazen Must Go!
From MEMRI So the Arab editor living in London thinks that Arafat and Muhammad Abbas have done nothing! Hundreds of civilian casualties, or thousands, over the years are far more than nothing. Still, even this editor has a point: for all the casualties that the PA and PLO have inflicted (and, to a lesser extent, taken) over the years, the people they claim to lead are still living in limbo, no closer to a dignified existence than they ever were. The editor also says that all those guys care about is retaining their leadership posts. That should sound familiar to any Westerner--as it certainly does to this American.::Submitted for your war and rumor of war [Matthew 24:6] files.

Attempt to expel US Anglicans at summit
From The Daily Telegraph (London). It would appear that the conservative primates have no intention of letting Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, browbeat them into accepting a compromise. They intend to move to suspend the American Episcopal Church from its voting privileges, and then start a process leading to expulsion. Under the terms of such expulsion, conservative dioceses could separate themselves from an expelled province and join other provinces.::Submitted for your touch not the unclean thing [2 Corinthians 6:14-18] files.

Editorials from the New Iraqi Press: MEMRI Baghdad Dispatch (6)
If you want to know what the Iraqis really think, check this out. This is the first time in memory that Iraq even has an independent press--and some of these papers really are independent, not just party organs.
Note one thing: MEMRI has been scooped in one regard. Assassins have probably killed Ayatollah Muhammad Baqir Al-Hakim by rigging his car to explode after he got into it following Friday prayers.::Submitted for your war and rumor of war [Matthew 24:6] files.

Bomb at Denver Planned Parenthood May Have Targeted Pro-Lifers
From Lifenews.com. Now see how ugly the abortion wars are getting. The so-called bomb was actually a plastic bottle filled with a chemical mixture designed to liberate expanding gases, and then to splatter and burn any flesh that it splattered on. This was not designed to blow a hole in a wall. Therefore, Planned Parenthood just might have left it themselves to hurt those that are picketing them.::Submitted for your persecution files.

Rape charge dismissed against one youth
Remember the shocking story of the rape charges at the ELCA youth retreat? We now learn that one of the accusers recanted her story. On that basis--at least, I can think of no other--prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss the charges against the particular boy that she accused. The judge granted the dismissal with prejudice, which means that prosecutors could not re-file charges even if they wanted to.
It's hard to tell what's sadder--that a boy would commit rape against a girl at a youth camp, or that a girl would accuse a boy of such a thing when it wasn't true. I still come back to the central issue: why were boys and girls at a youth retreat put in such a compromising position, or allowed to place themselves in that position? With proper supervision, separate housing (in separate buildings, not merely separate wings), and proper counseling on boundary-setting, none of these disgraceful events need have happened at all.::Submitted for your adultery in your heart [Matthew 5:28] files.

Columnist for Egyptian Government Daily to Hitler: 'If Only You Had Done It, Brother'

Columnist in Leading Egyptian Government Daily: U.S. Forces in Iraq Strip the Flesh from Their Victims' Corpses
From MEMRI The columnist involved, who has in the past apologized for Adolf Hitler, is speaking largely metaphorically (except for an accusation about the treatment of the bodies of Saddam's sons). This diatribe basically says that America is a pirate nation and that all Muslims should rise up against it. This appears in a government organ that gets big-time funding from US taxpayers.

Close Encounter with Mars Excites Stargazers
Reuters reports, "From the shores of Tahiti in Polynesia to outback Australia and Japan, amateur and professional stargazers aimed their telescopes at the eastern sky for a close encounter with Mars. At 5:51 a.m. EDT, Mars passed just 34.65 million miles from Earth, making it the closest such encounter since the Stone Age." :: Submitted for your files on signs and wonders in the heavens (Luke 21:11).

Hamas Leader Rantisi: The False Holocaust - The Greatest of Lies Funded by the Zionists
From MEMRI. Well, what do you expect from Hamas? Interesting, that "Doctor" (of what?) Rantisi should cite a French Holocaust denier. No wonder the French won't recognize Hamas for the terrorist organization that it is. They're just as bad. And I thought Swiss banks were the depositories of choice for despicable people looking for a place to park their ill-gotten gold. I guess French banks have joined them--in that France will not freeze Hamas' assets, as the USA has done.::Submitted for your war and rumor of war [Matthew 24:6] files.

The New Iraqi Press and the Jews
From the Inquiry and Analysis series, by MEMRI It begins with a discussion of the de facto expulsion of 150,000 Jews from Iraq, Jews who turn out to be descended from the contingent of Jews who did not make aliyah with the rest of their fellow Jews at the time of the Persian kings Cyrus, Darius I (the Great), and Artaxerxes [Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther]. Most of this is a discussion of the frankly wild accusations that the newly free Iraqi press now makes against the Jews--"they're coming back", "they're buying everything in sight", et cetera. But I submit this for your I will bring them home [Nehemiah 1] files, as an illustration that God's Providential planning will not be thwarted.
