Raw Story August 21, 2007
David Edwards and Muriel Kane

Fox News asked former CIA field officer Bob Baer on Tuesday whether the US is "gearing up for a military strike on Iran." Baer has written a column for Time indicating that Washington officials expect an attack within the next six months.

"I've taken an informal poll inside the government," Baer told Fox. "The feeling is we will hit the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps." His Time column also suggested that "as long as we have bombers and missiles in the air, we will hit Iran's nuclear facilities."

Baer explained that what his sources anticipate is "not exactly a war." He said the administration is convinced "that the Iranians are interfering in Iraq and the rest of the Gulf" but that "if there is an attack on Iran it would be very quick, it would be a warning."

"We won't see American troops cross the border. ... If this is going to happen, it's going to happen very quickly and it's going to surprise a lot of people," said Baer. "I hope I'm wrong frankly, but we're going to see."

The following video is from Fox's America's Newsroom , broadcast on August 21.

Canadian Press August 22, 2007

OTTAWA – Protesters are accusing police of using undercover agents to provoke violent confrontations at the North American leaders' summit in Montebello, Que.

Such accusations have been made before after similar demonstrations but this time the alleged "agents provocateurs" have been caught on camera.

A video, posted on YouTube, shows three young men, their faces masked by bandannas, mingling Monday with protesters in front of a line of police in riot gear. At least one of the masked men is holding a rock in his hand.

The three are confronted by protest organizer Dave Coles, president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada. Coles makes it clear the masked men are not welcome among his group of protesters, whom he describes as mainly grandparents. He urges them to leave and find their own protest location.

Coles also demands that they put down their rocks. Other protesters begin to chime in that the three are really police agents. Several try to snatch the bandanas from their faces.

Rather than leave, the three actually start edging closer to the police line, where they appear to engage in discussions. They eventually push their way past an officer, whereupon other police shove them to the ground and handcuff them.

Late Tuesday, photographs taken by another protester surfaced, showing the trio lying prone on the ground. The photos show the soles of their boots adorned by yellow triangles. A police officer kneeling beside the men has an identical yellow triangle on the sole of his boot.

Kevin Skerrett, a protester with the group Nowar-Paix, said the photos and video together present powerful evidence that the men were actually undercover police officers.

"I think the circumstantial evidence is very powerful," he said.

The three do not appear to have been arrested or charged with any offence.

Police confirm that only four protesters were arrested during the summit – two men and two women. All have been charged with obstruction and resisting arrest.

Veteran protester Jaggi Singh, who is helping to circulate the video as widely as possible, said all four of those arrested are known to organizers and are genuine protesters.

"But we see very clearly in that video three (other) men being arrested . . . How do (police) account for these three people being taken in, being arrested? Where did they go?" Singh said.

"I have no hesitation in saying they were police agents . . . and they were caught red-handed."

Singh, a member of the Montreal-based No One is Illegal, believes the agents were meant to provoke a confrontation and give the police an excuse to use some of their "toys," such as tear gas and rubber bullets.

"To a certain extent it's self-fulfilling logic. You provide police with this kind of equipment and they end up using it and one way to justify it is to plant some people that toss a rock or two."

Neither the RCMP nor the Surete du Quebec would comment on the video or even discuss generally whether they ever use the tactic of employing agents provocateurs.

"I cannot answer your question because I don't have the information," said Const. Kane Kramer, a spokesman for the RCMP at the summit.

The following is the transcript of a “Religion & Ethics Newsweekly” program which ran on Public TV on July 17, 2007. Pastor David Whitney –- in addition to being the Pastor of the Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church in Pasadena, Maryland — is also a Senior Instructor at “Institute On The Constitution.”

Pastor David Whitney

FRED DE SAM LAZARO, anchor: Few issues touch a raw nerve in American politics like gun control. It could be one reason the debate is rarely waged from pulpits. But often the issue is not far below the surface in worship communities—particularly those hit by gun violence, as correspondent Lucky Severson tells us in this report.

LUCKY SEVERSON reporting: And your son was killed right over here?

Ms. JACKIE ROWE ADAMS (Harlem Mothers S.A.V.E.): And my son was killed right there on the steps where my parents was living. I left him that morning. He said, “Ma.” Gave me a kiss. He was 17 at the time. And, I mean, you would never imagine that he wasn’t coming back home.

SEVERSON: Jackie Rowe Adams belongs to a New York City group of women called Harlem Mothers S.A.V.E. Their purpose is to stop gun violence. Those who belong have paid a very dear price. Each had at least one child killed by guns in Harlem.

Ms. ROWE ADAMS: Eighteen years later, who would’ve ever imagined that I would lose another child to gun violence? A 13 year old killed my son—robbery. From what I understand it was robbery. Shot him one time in the head.

SEVERSON: Like many of the 41 murders in Harlem last year, most were committed with illegal guns, double the gun deaths from a year before.

Unidentified Woman: Because we were out here last summer and saw a shoot out right on the corner like it was the OK Corral.

SEVERSON: When her sons were killed, Jackie says at first she was angry with God but now she credits God for transforming her anger into a cause.

Ms. ROWE ADAMS: I woke up one morning and I said, No! Enough is enough!' My husband said,What’s the matter?’ I said, I can't take it.' I said,What is the elected officials doing? What is the churches doing?’

SEVERSON: The influential Riverside Church on Harlem’s west side is trying to do something. Jackie met with Reverend Arnold Thomas to offer her group’s help. He’s registering churches around the country to participate in a God Not Guns Sabbath the weekend of September 29th and 30th.

Reverend ARNOLD THOMAS (The Riverside Church): Americans need to have a serious conversation about how guns have contributed to, really, the destruction and the continuing demise of our way of life and our culture.

SEVERSON: Approximately 30,000 Americans are killed every year by gun violence, including homicides, suicides and accidental gun deaths.

Rev. THOMAS: We’re dealing with staggering statistics. And so that says to me that America is a nation at war. We are at war with ourselves.

SEVERSON: Why have churches been so conspicuously silent on this subject?

Rev. THOMAS: I think because churches are also political animals, and we are—we are subject to the fact that many of our parishioners advocate the use of guns.

SEVERSON: Pastor David Whitney ministers the Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church in Maryland. He says the American public would be surprised at how many pastors have a different view of guns from that of Reverend Thomas. They favor them.

Pastor DAVID WHITNEY (Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church): I would say the churches should be involved in helping arm and train people to use handguns effectively.

SEVERSON: Why would you need a gun?

Pastor WHITNEY: As soon as a handgun appears, it never even has to be used. The criminal’s a coward and he’s going to flee as soon as he recognizes he’s faced with an equal power with himself.

SEVERSON: Can you understand how some might find a pastor advocating that we all carry guns at least offensive?

Pastor WHITNEY: Some would. I know that in my congregation none would, because they understand that we have the biblical right of self-defense. Jesus said, `If you don’t have a sword, go buy one’ for the purpose of self-defense.

SEVERSON: Do you think ministers should carry guns?

Ms. MARCIA OWEN (Religious Coalition for a Nonviolent Durham): I think that that would be very counter to the message of Christ.

SEVERSON: Marcia Owen is with the Religious Coalition for a Nonviolent Durham, which is affiliated with about 60 local churches. She organizes vigils for the victims of gun violence in her North Carolina city.

This is a vigil for 14-year old Tavisa Cartnail, who was shot and killed in a drive-by.

Unidentified Man: She was a nice, nice young lady.

Unidentified Woman: Some of us did not know Tavisa. But we learned about her when she became a statistic.

SEVERSON: The mother, still mourning, did not attend the vigil, but her friend Sheryl Smith was there, and she understands the grief.

Ms. SHERYL SMITH: My son was murdered in November 2005 in a drive-by.

SEVERSON: Each year Durham averages about 30 murders, and Marcia tries to hold a vigil after each one.

Ms. OWEN: The reason that we do those is we truly believe that, before we do any advocacy or policy work, that we first must do the most important thing, which is to stop, to gather at the site of the homicide, and to witness to the sanctity of life and to mourn.

SEVERSON: The Durham neighborhoods, where many gun murders take place, are comprised mainly of African-Americans.

Ms. OWEN: If this were my child and my neighborhood, would this continue on? I don’t think so. I know it wouldn’t. Something would be done. But these communities are almost like invisible communities to us.

SEVERSON: Marcia’s coalition gets involved with the inner-city community by meeting with low-income kids, urging them to stay away from guns, and also working closely with former inmates, who are often the perpetrators and then the targets of gun violence in the inner cities. Peter Lamonte Bell has been working at and advancing in the city’s Water Department ever since he got out of prison two years ago. He was in on drug and gun convictions.

If I—say I wanted to get a gun here in Durham, how long would it take me to get it?

Mr. PETER LAMONTE BELL: A couple of hours. I’ve never been to a gun store in my life and bought a gun. It always come from the street. A lot of the guns that are on the street, they’re coming right from citizen’s homes, because you have citizens that have firearms.

SEVERSON: He says most inmates are not prepared to come out of prison. And without a lot of support, many end up back dealing drugs and using guns. So the coalition’s faith team helps people like Peter get jobs and housing and their lives back together. They meet regularly.

Mr. BELL: I guess I had the same problem that every citizen has now, and it’s paying bills and being broke. But it ain’t so bad. These are God-fearing, -loving people that care—that’s reaching out to try and help you. And so, it’s nothing that I won’t bring to my faith team. And if something really serious that is brought on me, I say, `Look, we need to have a meeting.’

SEVERSON: Marcia Owen says the North Carolina legislature has blocked every effort at gun control.

You are not looking to get rid of guns?

Ms. OWEN: No, not at all. I’m not—no. I’m not an abolitionist.

SEVERSON: But her objective would undoubtedly require some measures of gun control, which Pastor Whitney strongly opposes.

Pastor WHITNEY: Well, the answer to the problem really isn’t to say, `We’re going to disarm the law-abiding citizens.’ Because then you make them vulnerable to murder. The answer to the rate of violence in America is the full preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which changes the heart of men from sinners who disobey God’s law—“Thou shall not kill”—to disciples of Jesus Christ who obey God’s law.

SEVERSON: That’s what Jackie Rowe Adams and her group is all about—getting rid of illegal guns by giving the NYPD information about stores or storefronts they suspect are dealing in illegal guns.

You’ve helped close down some of these businesses around here that have been dealing in illegal guns, right?

Ms. ROWE ADAMS: Yes we have. Yes we have.

SEVERSON: But that must be a little dangerous for you?

Ms. ROWE ADAMS: It is dangerous. But the danger is when kids get their hands on these guns, they’re taking a life. So if I could help close down some of these illegal places, then my living will not be in vain.

SEVERSON: The church involvement she was hoping for is finally taking shape, and not only in Harlem. It’s not an effort to get rid of guns but to keep them out of the wrong hands. But they face an uphill battle convincing churchgoers that guns issues should been given a higher priority from the pulpit.

RAF Eurofighters intercept Russian bomber

RAF fighter jets were sent to intercept a Russian bomber which was heading towards British air space over the North Atlantic, it emerged this evening.   Eurofighter intercepts the bomber Two Typhoons were sent from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire to meet the Bear-H aircraft after the early warning radar system detected it heading towards UK territory, according to the Ministry of Defence. It is the first time the Typhoon Eurofighters have been scrambled since they took on operational duties on June 29. No more details have been released about the incident, which took place last week, but it is bound to heighten tensions after a number of assertive acts by Moscow. President Vladimir Putin announced this week that Russia has resumed long-range patrols by its bomber planes for the first time since the end of the Cold War. advertisement Relations with both Europe and the United States have been deteriorating as Russia, buoyed by booming energy prices, has shaken off the post-Soviet malaise of the 1990s. Western criticism has mounted as Mr Putin curtailed freedoms in Russia and imposed economic punishments on ex-Soviet neighbours who had pursued a pro-Western course. In June The Kremlin was angered by US plans to move missile systems into eastern Europe. Mr Putin threatened to aim Russian nuclear missiles at European cities in retaliation. While Washington insists that the missiles are directed at the growing threat of Iran and North Korea, the Kremlin is convinced they are directed at Russia. Earlier this month Sergei Ivanov, the hawkish Russian defence minister seen as a possible successor to Mr Putin when he stands down next year, announced an eight-year £100 billion military upgrade. Defence spending has quadrupled since Mr Putin came to power in May 2000.

I get so tired of dealing with the god-haters’ rape of the English language. Sadly, most of us don’t have the discernment or the ability to see through the smokescreen. My interpretation of a “god-hater” is anyone who doesn’t want to acknowledge the sovereignty of Jesus. They have put themselves and their interpretations on the throne and refuse to bow to the “laws of nature and nature’s God.” They want to make up their own rules and insist we follow them.

Rush Limbaugh taught me the phrase “words mean things.” Unfortunately, for most government-school educated citizens, the words are constantly open for interpretation. Words have come to mean only what the speaker wants them to mean. Have you listened to hip-hop lately? They seem to speak a different language.

Heck, Bill Clinton engaged in the same double-speak, “it all depends on what the meaning of is, is.”

Here’s the problem. There is nothing wrong with slang. It is as American as apple pie. But one of the great deceptions is that the words are losing their original meaning. If we change the meaning of words what good is our language? Can anybody remember the move to teach Ebonics in our schools? Blacks had changed the language and some “expert” thought young black kids would be smarter if they were taught in their own dialect. The term “expert” is open for interpretation as well.

If we lose our common language we lose our culture.

For centuries “gay” meant lively or happy. Only recently has it been stolen and used as a moniker for the homosexual lifestyle. To quote from Wikipedia “Well into the mid 20th century a middle-aged bachelor could be described as "gay" without any implication of homosexuality.” “Well into the 20th century….” A homosexual being “gay” is a modern phenomenon.

I could give hundreds of examples, as I’m sure you could as well. The language is constantly evolving. Part of the “generation gap” is the fact that we older Americans no longer share a common language with our children, yet we assume we do. It is leading to disastrous results.

Let’s take the word judgment. “The act or process of judging; the formation of an opinion after consideration or deliberation.” Judgment is a good thing. We make judgments all of the time. We teach our children to judge. The whole idea of right and wrong implies judgment. Judgment is the formation of an opinion, but therein lays the catch. Modern academia doesn’t want our children to develop their own opinions. They want to “teach us” their opinions. The Communists call that indoctrination. The dictionary explains indoctrination this way, “teaching someone to accept doctrines uncritically.” The dictionary lists “brainwash and propagandize” as synonyms for indoctrination. Our schools and our churches are teaching our children “not to judge,” which means to “accept doctrines uncritically.” We are teaching our children what to think, not how to think.

The homosexual promoters are the worst at it. They have hijacked the English language. They have reinterpreted their sin to be good and judgment of their sin to be bad. If you have an opinion different from the one they hold, you are “hateful,” “bigoted,” “racist," and “homo-phobic.” Most of us don’t have the courage to face such a verbal assault. We are too concerned with being nice!!

Check out this video of the brave Ft. Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle and his willingness to stand for public decency and against the spread of AIDS in public restrooms. Watch this video of the heroic Janet Folger as she speaks in support of the mayor, as a “tolerant” homosexual activist interrupts her right to her opinion. Now here is the Truth. Miss Folger and Mayor Naugle are representing the views of a majority of Americans. How do the “tolerant” respond? Watch for yourself.

In today’s world, only one opinion counts. Theirs. Raising one’s voice and shouting over the speaker does not change Truth. Volume is the final resting place of an empty argument.

As so often happens, I found myself in a discussion with a homosexual activist one day. I don’t know how I always end up in these places, but I do. The homosexuals always accuse me of being a “closet” sodomite because I oppose it so much. “You hate what you’re hiding,” and they love to tell me -- tolerant lads that they are...

But see, my 30 years of coaching football made me oblivious to the cat-calls of man. If you think being hated by a homosexual activist is a tough thing, you ought to try coming up short on 4th and 1 in front of 5000 people. That gives new meaning to a cry for tolerance. I’m not afraid of the god-haters, their taunts, or their accusations. “Sticks and stones may break my bones…” It is a battle for Truth and I will not run from this fight.

So there I was that day in front of a pitiful homosexual man (Not all are pitiful, but this one surely was), as we started a conversation on marriage.

“You call yourself a Christian and all you want to do is discriminate against other people. Jesus wouldn’t discriminate!” (Obviously, judging me as a bad Christian based on his opinion of Jesus!)

The Average Joe would have backed down. (Accuse us of anything, but please don’t accuse us of discrimination. Does Don Imus ring a bell? “I have a black friend, I’ll have you know.”) But you have already fallen into the trap. They have built a snare and you have walked into it. Well, not me.

“Of course, I discriminate,” I told him. “Discrimination is a good thing. And by the way, Jesus was the Master at it. And, I might add, so are you. You have obviously formed an opinion about me.”

Discrimination - The ability or power to see or make fine distinctions; discernment. Don’t let them box you in with their meaning of words.

He ignored what I said and moved on to the usual argument. With his neck-veins popping, he railed: “Why is it you can marry the one you love, but I can’t? That is discrimination. How can you be so bigoted as to keep me from having the same rights as you?"

“Let’s see,” I calmly responded, “you think you are being discriminated against because you can’t marry the one you love, huh? Well, let’s look at that a minute. You say you can’t marry the one you love so that is “unfair.” I hate to break the news to you but I can’t always marry the one I love either. I can’t marry my neighbor, I can’t marry my daughter, I can’t marry my boss, even though I love them all. I’m already married and it is against the law for me to marry someone else.”

“See, you just made my point,” as he puckered his nose like a little third grader, "You can marry, I can’t...” He was sure he had me.

“You can get married,” I countered. “What is stopping you?”

“No I can’t. Gays aren’t allowed to marry.” he wiggled his shoulders back and forth.

“You certainly are. You can get married right now, today. No one is stopping you.”

“No I can’t. It is against the law. You can marry, I can’t and that is discrimination. (I didn’t bother to point out his misuse of the word again)

“Wait a minute. Are we talking about the same thing here? Are you telling me you can’t marry a woman?”

“I don’t want to marry a woman,” he squealed. “I want to marry a man! I want to marry the one I love.”

“Oh, now I get it. You can get married, you just don’t want to. Here is the Truth, my friend. I can’t always marry the one I love and you can’t always marry the one you love. I can’t marry two women and you can’t marry two women. I can’t marry a man and you can’t marry a man. Help me out here, where’s the discrimination?

Then, he said, as the tolerance oozed out of his pores…“You bigot! Go ---- yourself!"

Words mean things. I just thought someone should point it out.
