Egyptian Astrologer Warns: In 2014, Saturn Enters Sagittarius, Making Jews Stronger

In an end-of-year interview on Al-Nahar TV, Egyptian astrologer Sayyed Al-Shimi warned that whenever Saturn enters a fire sign, the Jews become stronger. Attributing various events, including the first World Zionist Congress, the Balfour Declaration, and the 1948, 1956, and 1967 wars, to the constellation of the stars, Al-Shimi warned that in December 2014, Saturn would enter Sagittarius again.

Real ID enforcement to begin in April - FierceHomelandSecurity

Enforcement of the Real ID Act will be phased in starting in April under a schedule the Homeland Security Department released Dec. 20.

The law, passed in 2005, established standards for state-issued identification cards such as driver's licenses. Eventually, people with IDs from noncompliant states won't be able to board commercial planes, but DHS says that won't happen until 2016 or later.

On Jan. 20, DHS will begin to notify anyone with a noncompliant ID trying to access the department's headquarters in Washington, D.C., that their ID won't be valid for access beginning April 21.

"Moderate" Malaysia: Newspaper editor accused of treason for using the word "Allah" - Atlas Shrugs

(Muslims in Malaysia want Christians to use word, "Tuhan" for their God, see meaning below)

Muslims are prosecuting Christians in Malaysia for using the word Allah for God. Muslim authorities have criminalized usage of the word Allah.

Malaysian Atlas reader Tracy gives us some background on the "Allah" brouhaha in Malaysia. Allah is used in Malay and other Malaysian indigenous languages and has been used for over 100 years, even before Malaysia was formed as a country. This might be due to Arab influence on the local languages, when traders came to the Malayan peninsula in the 1300s. In this country, Allah has been used to refer to God, whereas Tuhan, which the ruling party wants Catholics/Christians to use, is a generic term which is non specific, hence the refusal by the Malay/indigenous language speaking Catholics and Christians to budge.

"Moderate" Malaysia: Muslim religious authorities raid Bible Society, confiscate bibles - Atlas Shrugs

 (Malaysian Muslims do NOT want Christians using the name 'allah' and other Islamic phrases.  This should tell Americans that THEY DO NOT CONSIDER ALLAH AND THE CHRISTIAN GOD THE SAME.  LET'S WAKE UP PEOPLE)

Today’s raid comes after the editor of Catholic weekly, Herald, Rev Father Lawrence Andrew said that Catholic churches in Selangor would continue to use the word “Allah” in their weekend services in Bahasa Malaysia, which are primarily attended by Sabah and Sarawak folk.

The comments came following a statement from the new director of Jais Ahmad Zaharin Mohd Saad, who said the state religious authorities would draw up a list of Selangor churches before writing to ask them to comply with the Selangor Non-Islamic Religions (Control of Propagation Among Muslims) Enactment 1988.

“We will write to all the churches in Selangor to respect the law that is in force in relation to this,” he was quoted as saying.

The enactment, which was passed by the then Barisan Nasional state government, prohibits non-Muslims in Selangor from using 35 Arabic words and phrases, including “Allah”, “Nabi” (prophet), “Injil” (gospel) and “Insya'Allah” (God willing).

Former minister Zahi Hawass compares Egypt's Abdel Fatah al-Sisi to pharaoh | World news | The Guardian

"In my opinion, Sisi is really Mentuhotep II," said Hawass. "You need to understand what happened 4,000 years ago to understand what is happening now."
In Hawass's view, the upheaval Egypt has experienced since 2011 mirrors the century of chaos that preceded Mentuhotep's accession to the Egyptian throne in 2046BC. Mentuhotep restored order to Egypt – much as Hawass argues Sisi is about to do today. "We need an elected officer – a strong man – to control the country. And in my opinion, Sisi is our only hope."

Why Saudi Arabia and the U.S. don’t see eye to eye in the Middle East | Ian Bremmer

Give credit to Vladimir Putin and his New York Times op-ed on Syria for sparking a new tactic for foreign leaders hoping to influence American public opinion. In recent weeks, Saudi Arabian political elites have followed Putin’s lead, using American outlets to express their distaste with the West’s foreign policy, particularly with regard to Syria and Iran. In comments to the Wall Street Journal, prominent Saudi Prince Turki al-Faisal decried the United States for cutting a preliminary deal with Iran on its nuclear program without giving the Saudis a seat at the table, and for Washington’s unwillingness to oppose Assad in the wake of the atrocities he’s committed. Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Britain followed with an op-ed in the New York Times entitled “Saudi Arabia Will Go It Alone.” The Saudis are clearly upholding the vow made by intelligence chief Bandar bin Sultan back in October to undergo a “major shift” away from the United States.

In light of the recent actions of the Obama administration, many allies are also frustrated and confused, and even hedging their bets in reaction to the United States’ increasingly unpredictable foreign policy. But of all the disappointed countries, none is more so than Saudi Arabia — and with good reason. That’s because the two countries have shared interests historically — but not core values — and those interests have recently diverged.
