| Dumitru Duduman Warning America Part 2 of 10Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:04:10 -0800 by krazeekooladamhttp://www.handofhel p.comDumitru Duduman was born to George and Escaterina Duduman on July 14, 1932 in Hintesti, Romania. His native village is situated in the northeastern part of Romania near the Russian border. Here Dumitru was brought up in the knowledge of God by his parents, but most of all from his grandfather, Costache, whom he loved deeply. He grew accustomed to religious persecution at a very young age seeing his father and older brother, Costache, put in prison for their beliefs. Although the rest of the family had not been arrested, they were ordered to hard labor in the Communist farmland projects.Even though Dumitru had been brought up in a Christian home, by the age of fourteen he had started wandering from God. At the age of seventeen he rebelled and joined the Romanian army. His rejection of God saddened his parents greatly and for many months they prayed for him continually. Dumitru spent the first eight months of his army career in the Chitila boot camp. Even today this boot camp is well known for it's harsh treatment of new recruits. After finishing boot camp, Dumitru was one of few soldiers chosen to go on to the Constanta Military School. He started in Constanta in 1951 and stayed there four and one half years. Upon his graduation, Dumitru received a diploma and was given the rank of Lieutenant in the Marines. Soon he had eighty men under his command.In 1984, after years of intense persecution, a Romanian evangelist, Dumitru Duduman, was thrown out of his country for smuggling Bibles into Romania and Russia. With the help of the American Consulate, Dumitru and his family came to America. They were picked up at the airport by a Russian agency and taken to a small apartment in Fullerton, California. The apartment had no furniture or beds and to make matters worse, the previous occupants had allowed their dogs to urinate all over the carpeting. Feeling abandoned and discouraged, Dumitru asked God why he had brought him to America. God began to show Dumitru why he was brought to America and the incredible task that lay before him. The following are excerpts from Dumitru's books, "Through the Fire Without Burning" and "Dreams and Visions from God", from his video, "Wake Up America" and from his "Hand of Help" newsletter. These excerpts are not meant to form a message of fear, but to present a message of hope to all those who will stop sinning and turn to God. As I read the following excerpt from a Reuters report, I was reminded of the prophetic vision of Dimitru Duduman which the Lord gave him to share with the people of this nation who had ears to hear. Dimitru is one of many prophets who have shared that the land called America would become desolate. Perhaps very soon!http://www.hand ofhelp.comVisit YouTube Channel: Hand Of Help Video Ministry Related: prophecy club dimitru bombs war usa prophetic dream vision warning 666 church christian end times america russia tribulation jesus yeshua nuclear perry stone dumitru duduman | |

| Jersey Boys Gone Bad: Chapter 14Fri, 09 Jan 2009 14:27:31 -0800 by morningperson12"Whatever." I said, and walked out.I walked out of the cafateria, and looked to my right, no one. The hallway was empty, at least it was to my right... I slowly turned to my left and saw Joe and Natalie. Natalie and Joe were MAKING OUT, and I mean full on make out, I stared at them for a few seconds, and when Natalie pulled out of the kiss she saw me, and she just... glared at me, I felt like she was running knives through my body. I waited for an explination, which was from Joe, and it was only three sylables."Sorry, bro." He said, looking at me. He wasn't glaring, but he didn't look sorry, so it was hard to tell weather or not he was being sarcastic. However, Natalie, oh, I could tell she was far beyond mad at me.This was my natural state of mind, does this mean she'd never like me? I am NOT changing for a girl, and definatly not one who makes out with my brother. I looked at Joe for a few more seconds, and left. I went through the rest of the day, and watched Natalie. I think she knew I was watching her, but I'm not sure. Through out the rest of our three hours of school, she made out with Joe seven more times.It's now Friday, I've known Natalie for five days, and fallen completely in love with her. We talked a few more times, but she made it clear she was not only not interested in me, but she leaned more on the 'I hate you' side. But, until she strait up told me she hated me, I would not quit. I've brought home four girls, since Monday, and had sex. I became kind of adicted to it, because Natalie constantly flirted or made out with Joe.I followed Natalie, Nicole, and Natalya home in my mustang. I slowly rolled behind them the entire time. Natalya and Nicole departed, wow I didn't even know I knew that word. Well, they left, and I continued to drive slowly next to the curb, watching Natalie. She knew I was following her, it's kind of impossible not to owning a car like mine. She got home, and I pulled into my driveway, and watched her walk into her house. I ran up to Joe's room, which was next to mine, which was right across from Natalie's. I didn't notice my or her window was open until it was too late."What do you want?" Kevin said, rudly as I entered his room. He was on his couch, making out with his girlfriend, Chealsea."Where's Joe?" I asked."I don't know.. Maybe, POSSIBLY, in his room." Kevin said, sarcastically, like I was dumb. Ooops, I was in Kevin's room, duh, Joe's room is LEFT of mine. I walked pass my room, not even glancing at Natalie's house, which I would regret later, I knocked on his open door."Joe?" I asked, trying to decieve him with the sound of my voice. Wow, decieve, depart, glance, I think I'm hanging around Natalya and Nicole too much. Not Natalie, I was in love with her, I could never spend too much time with her."Yeah?" Joe said, from inside his closet."What are you doing?" I said, as I walked into his hurricane of a room."Trying to find the damn ID." He said, pulling out a box from way up top."Wallet?" I asked, sarcastically."Funny . I meant Hayden's fake ID... She wants it back." Joe said, he turned out of his closet to look at me, "Are you mad at me?""MAD?!" I said, enraged. I have been waiting for this all week. "DUDE, I am SO beyond MAD!" I shouted."Dude, don't sho---" Joe started.I cut him off, "Don't tell me what to do! I HATE YOU!" I raised my fist and punched him in the stomach. Joe leaned over and gripped the bed post of his bed, and leaned over. That felt good, I thought to myself.Oh, shoot, looks like Joe messed with the wrong man's woman. Okay, with a total of 11 votes, The Hotel's Heiress won, so I'm posting that right now!

| BREAKING NEWS! Israel targets TV station in Gaza-??? ??????? ???Fri, 09 Jan 2009 10:12:50 -0800 by ArchivesAlgeriennesThe Press TV Gaza bureau has been destroyed by IDF troops in an attack that took place in the last hour 15:38 GMT, despite the GPS co-ordinates being held by the Israeli troops.No fatalities have been recorded, also attacked is the Arab station Al-Arrabya all located on the western strip of Gaza. There are more Press TV journalists in Gaza covering the events than any other international media station.Press TV has been one of the few international news networks able to broadcast live feeds of the Israeli attacks in Gaza.Speaking to Press TV Hamoudi Gharib the Gaza correspondent confirmed that IDF troops targeted the studios of Press TV with repeated attacks.This would be a clear contravention of international law with the targeting of journalists and civilians."No one is safe in Gaza, the UN, civilians or journalists."..Israe l continued its offensive in Gaza on Friday, hitting more than 50 targets, despite the U.N. Security Council's call for an immediate cease-fire. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Israel was disregarding the U.N. vote because the resolution will not be heeded by "murderous" Palestinian groups. The firing of rockets from Gaza into southern Israel on Friday, he said, "proves the U.N. resolution is not practical.""The state of Israel has never agreed that any outside body would determine its right to defend the security of its citizens. The IDF will continue operations in order to defend Israeli citizens and will carry out the missions with which it has been assigned in the operation," Olmert said.The Cabinet also decided to continue humanitarian activity in Gaza and keep up efforts "to prevent the smuggling of war materiel into the Gaza Strip."The Cabinet was briefed on meetings that Israeli Maj. Gen. Amos Gilad had with Egyptian officials over a proposed Egyptian-French truce plan. Hamas also rejected the resolution, the Paris, France, daily newspaper Le Figaro reported.The resolution "does not serve our interests nor that of the people of Palestine," said Hamas official Raafat Morra, speaking from Lebanon. "It does not take into account the aspirations and the principal objectives of the Palestinian people."At least 792 Palestinians have been killed since Israel began its air and ground assault, a U.N. official said, citing numbers from the Palestinian Health Ministry. Photo See images from the offensive »The official said the Health Ministry is reporting that about 3,200 Palestinians have been wounded in the past two weeks. Thirteen Israelis, including 10 soldiers, have also have been killed, sources said.Israel has repeatedly defended its offensive, which it says is meant to stop Hamas militants from continuing to use the territory to lob rockets into southern Israel.The Security Council called overwhelmingly for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza late Thursday, expressing "grave concern" at a mounting humanitarian crisis and heavy civilian casualties in the Palestinian territory.Fourteen of the council's 15 members voted in favor of Resolution 1860, with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice abstaining from the vote on behalf of the United States. Rice said the United States prefers to wait on the results of ongoing Egyptian-brokered talks in Cairo between Israeli and Palestinian leaders. The resolution "stresses the urgency of, and calls for, an immediate, durable and fully respected cease-fire which will lead to the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza."Although the resolution does not mention Hamas by name, it does condemn "all violence and hostilities directed against civilians and all acts of terrorism."A resolution from the council, particularly one that passes with such large support, can put international pressure on parties involved in a conflict. But they are in no way binding, and many in the past have been ignored by warring factions.The Israel Defense Forces said aircraft attacked more than 50 targets in Gaza identified as terrorist sites as Israel's offensive against Hamas stretched into its 14th day. One location hit by Israeli missiles was a house in northern Gaza where six people were killed early Friday, the Ramattan News Agency in Gaza City reported.In another attack, Israeli helicopters obliterated the house of a Hamas military commander in northern Gaza City on Friday, sources in the Hamas movement said.Aqsa TV identified the man as Abu Farouk Dababesh. The Hamas sources said Dababesh's house was among 15 houses targeted by Israel on Friday.Palestinian medical sources said 22 Palestinians were killed Friday.The IDF said its missiles hit five Gaza sites where Hamas was launching rockets into Israel Friday morning, including one that was adjacent to a mosque.

| GAZA (Israel to continue Gaza assault despite UN resolution)Fri, 09 Jan 2009 07:47:25 -0800 by VerseautoujoursFRANCE 24Israel to continue Gaza assault despite UN resolutionhttp://www .france24.com/en/200 90109-israel-gaza-st rikes-continue-offen sive-un-resolution-o lmertFriday 09 January 2009 Israel said it will pursue heavy attacks on Gaza despite the UN resolution calling for an end to the conflict. More than 18 Palestinians were killed across the Gaza Strip on Friday, medical sources said. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert rejected a U.N. resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza after a security council meeting Friday. Olmert blamed the continuing rocket fire coming from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip for jeopardizing the resolution. "The firing of rockets this morning only goes to show that the U.N. decision is unworkable and will not be adhered to by the murderous Palestinian organisations," Olmert said in a statement. The UN call for an immediate ceasefire to end the 14-day Gaza assault by the Israeli army bhas so far failed to stop the Jewish state from carrying out heavy attacks in the region.Fourteen of the 15 members in the UN Security Council passed a resolution early Friday calling for an "immediate, durable" ceasefire leading to the "full withdrawal" of Israeli forces from Gaza. Only the United States, Israels main ally, abstained as it wanted to see the outcome of a peace initiative by Egyptian President Hosni MubarakGaza's Hamas rulers sent mixed signals about the resolution. Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha said the group did not recognise the resolution as it had not been consulted. However another spokesman said Hamas was "studying" the resolution, according to Reuters Heavy overnight raidsThe total Palestinian death toll rose sharply to 785 as Israel carried new air raids on Gaza Friday. The United Nations on Friday cited witnesses saying Israeli soldiers evacuated about 110 Palestinians into a house which Israeli forces repeatedly shelled 24 hours later, killing about 30 people.The Israeli air force attacked more than 50 targets overnight, including rocket-launching sites, weapons production and storage sites, Hamas buildings and outposts as well as gunmen, the military said.Palestinian medics said at least 12 people were killed in overnight air strikes. Around 20 people were also killed in Israeli strikes on Thursday, including a Ukrainian and a Moroccan woman, both married to Palestinians, they said.Humanitarian crisis deepensThe humanitarian situation is critical, reported Sophie Claudet, FRANCE 24s correspondent in Jerusalem. A third of the dead are children and theres no power in 75% of Gaza.The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) suspended its operations in Gaza after one of its convoys was hit by Israeli tank shells Thursday while the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) accused Israel of doing too little to help the wounded after rescuers found four small children clinging to their dead mothers..Hamas criticised the decision by the agency, calling it illogical and inexcusable. Its duty is to protect victims of war, not to abandon them," spokesman Fawzi Barhum said in a statement.http://www .france24.com/en/200 90109-israel-gaza-st rikes-continue-offen sive-un-resolution-o lmert--- UN Human Rights Council :http://www.un.org/w ebcast/unhrc/index.a spHuman Rights Council Ninth special session on the Grave Violations of Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory including the recent aggression of the occupied Gaza StripGeneva, 9 January 2009 Related: gaza palestine | |

| UN :resolution passes Security - Council calls for cease-fire in GazaThu, 08 Jan 2009 23:01:50 -0800 by ArchivesAlgeriennes???? ???? ????? ?????? ?? ????? ??? ????? ??? ????? ???? ????? ??????? ???? ??? ??? ????? ????? ?? ???? ???? ?????? ??????? ?????? ??????????? ???. ???? ??????? ???? ??????? ???????? -??? ?? ????? ????? ??????? ??? ????? ???? ?? ????? ???????- ??????? 14 ?? ????? ???? ????? ???? ?????? ???????? ??????? ?? ??????? ????. The U.N. Security Council late Thursday overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza. Fourteen of the council's 15 members voted in favor of the resolution, with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice abstaining from the vote on behalf of the United States.The resolution expresses "grave concern" about the growing humanitarian crisis and heavy civilian casualties in Gaza, as well as civilian deaths in Israel from Hamas rocket fire.Roughly 765 Palestinians and 13 Israelis, including 10 soldiers, have been killed since Israel began its military assault on Gaza on December 27. The resolution "stresses the urgency of, and calls for, an immediate, durable, and fully respected cease-fire which will lead to the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza."A resolution from the council, particularly one that passes with such large support, can put international pressure on parties involved in a conflict. But they are in no way binding, and many in the past have been ignored by warring factions. "We are all very conscious that peace is made on the ground while resolutions are written in the U.N.," said British Foreign Secretary David Miliband. "Our job here is to support the efforts for peace on the ground and turn the good words on paper into changes on the ground that are so desperately needed."Rice applauded the resolution's goals, but said the United States prefers to wait for results of ongoing, Egyptian-brokered talks in Cairo, Egypt, with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. She said the United States supported the text, goals and objectives of the resolution, but that the United States feels it's important to see the terms of any cease-fire hammered out in Egypt. The resolution welcomes efforts by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to broker a cease-fire. It calls for opening corridors to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza -- where food, water, electricity and medicine shortages have worsened already poor conditions since Israel's offensive in Gaza began.Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Gabriela Shalev, told the Security Council that Hamas rocket attacks "left us with no choice.""The responsibility for the current hostilities lies squarely on Hamas," she said. "The international community must focus its efforts on the Hamas activity and make sure that the terrorist activity can never be legitimate." The Israeli military says its operation is aimed at halting the firing of rockets into southern Israel by Hamas, which has controlled Gaza since 2007.Wrangling over the resolution centered on wording. Arab countries generally pushed for language demanding Israel cease its attacks, while Western diplomats wanted more neutral language."Security for the people of Gaza, too. Not security for Israel alone," Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa, of Egypt, said before the vote as reporters were asking diplomats about the resolution. The 15-member Security Council is tasked by the United Nations with establishing and maintaining peace around the globe. It has the power to create peacekeeping operations, impose sanctions and authorize military action.The United States, Russia, China, France and Great Britain are the five permanent members, with the other 10 elected by the U.N. assembly to two-year terms. Any one of the permanent members can veto a resolution.

| GAZA (UN Resolution 1860)Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:30:41 -0800 by VerseautoujoursSecurity Council calls for immediate truce in GazaAFP - Friday 9 January 2009Fourteen of the council's 15 members voted in favor of the compromise resolution worked out in three days of intense bargaining involving several Arab foreign ministers, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner.The text "stresses the urgency of and calls for an immediate, durable and fully respected ceasefire, leading to the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza."It "calls for the unimpeded provision and distribution throughout Gaza of humanitarian assistance, including of food, fuel and medical treatment" and welcomes initiatives aimed at "creating and opening humanitarian corridors and other mechanisms for the sustained delivery of humanitarian aid."Resolution 1860 also "condemns all violence and hostilities directed against civilians and all acts of terrorism" and urged member states to intensify efforts for arrangements and guarantees in Gaza "to sustain a durable ceasefire and calm, including to prevent illicit trafficking in arms and ammunition and to ensure the reopening of the crossing points (into Gaza)."It "welcomes the Egyptian initiative (the three-point truce proposal unveiled by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak Tuesday) and other regional and international efforts that are under way."Mubarak invited Israel and the Palestinians to Cairo for talks on conditions for a truce, on securing Gaza borders, reopening of its crossings and lifting the Israeli blockade on the Palestinian enclave.The US abstention vote cast by Rice came as a surprise as diplomats indicated earlier that they expected the text to get unanimous support.The vote capped a day of high drama in which Arab ministers had threatened to press for a vote on their own draft.The resolution was based on a British-drafted text supported by the US and France -- all veto-wielding members of the security council -- and amendments by key Arab negotiators including the foreign ministers of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Morocco and Qatar.US Arab ministers welcomed the adoption as they were under strong pressure from their public opinion to secure an immediate end to Israel's 13-day military onslaught in Gaza that has killed more than 760 Palestinians.
