CALLING ALL ANGELS-A TRIBUTE TO THE 343

As a firefighter, I decided I'd send along a poem I wrote to help folks understand what might have happened that horrific day. There are several layers of meaning marbled within it; words of healing as well. It is written in iambic pentameter, the preferred style of Robert Service - you'll find the rhythm.

"Calling All Angels! Calling All Angels!" Went out his thunderous plea.
"I am thy Lord beseeching my horde to assemble in front of me!"
In a flash the angels did dash to gather at His feet,
And hear His plan to help all man by use of Heaven's elite.

"The Devil's made a play this September day to hurt the ones I love,
He's loosed upon earth his demonic worth now push has come to shove.
I'll not stand by and have good men die without awareness in their heart,
So this day in my plan-full way a battle I'm going to start."

"Gabriel old friend to this end welcome every woman and man,
That'll come our way this fateful day who died by Satan's hand.
And before you go you need to know a few you'll bring straight to me,
Firefighters all now standing tall known as The Three-Forty-Three."

With Gabriel gone and quiet the throng they wondered at His plan,
To send and quell the flames of hell by use of mortal man.
All manner of doubt filled the strongest and stout of Heaven's holy array,
And fear fell upon the heavenly throng at the plan the Lord set this day.

"I can sense in thy hearts hesitation to start a battle you don't understand,
But confused as you Satan is too and that is the heart of my plan.
Fear yea not for what I've wrought I'll ask none here to face his fork,
But I'll send into hell those who fell the firefighters from New York!"

Then Lord raised his staff and began to laugh in roaring thunderous glee,
And in a booming blaze they stepped from a haze The Angelic Three-Forty-Three.
They fell into line in very short time making perfect formations of rows,
And the Lord caused to slip onto every man's hip a golden heavenly hose.

"The gravest mistake Satan did make when he struck down these men so brave,
Thinking idle I'd stand not extending my hand and their souls I would not save.
Have no fear for the men standing here the way to his place they know well,
For verily each day they've collected their pay by stepping into hell.

These men know their task now angels I ask that you hasten straight to earth,
Then comfort their friends when the tally begins and they start to question their worth.
Console them with wings and all heavenly things on their shoulder your head is to rest,
Send whispers of thanks from our heavenly ranks, say: 'God knows you did your best.'"

Calling All Angels

Sharia Law and the Religion of Peace

This video is very GRAPHIC and what you will witness is Sharia Law in action. This young girl is being stoned and stomped to death because she didn't want to marry an older man, which was arranged by her family. An Islamic Court sentenced this young woman to death under the tenets of Sharia Law, the same Sharia Law practicing Muslims want to impose on us. At present, the United Kingdom allows Sharia Law for civil cases involving Muslims under the Arbitration Act of 1996. As Muslim populations continue to grow in the European Union and the United States, pressure will no doubt grow for Muslims to be able to impose their own laws within their community. While you watch this video, ask yourself if this is truly the Religion of Peace. The so-called men you see in this video are not "radicals," but rather practicing Muslims carrying out the tenets of Sharia Law.

In the name of Allah

Most rational people would agree that not all Muslims are terrorists, however we must also agree that most terrorist attacks are perpetrated by Muslims. To date there has been 16,018 terrorist attacks since September 11, 2001-all in the name of Allah. Where is the outrage from the Muslim community? What follows is a running total of Islamic terrorist attacks for the past 2 months alone. As we approach the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America, which claimed 2976 lives, we can see how this cancer has spread throughout the world. Nineteen cowards can sure do a lot of damage-All in the name of Allah!

Will Iran sabotage Palestinian-Israeli peace talks?

With the start of Palestinian-Israeli peace talks in Washington I predict we will see a Hezbollah attack on Israel’s northern border within a week. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (Quds Force) controls the Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon and will do all they can to sabotage any agreement between the Fatah controlled Palestinian Authority and Israel.

While most would agree that these talks are doomed to failure without any help from outside forces, the Iranians can take no chance of any semblance of success. If by some chance Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas succeed in the framework of a peace plan, enormous pressure from the international community will force both party’s to implement said plan.

The fact that the Arab league pushed Abbas into agreeing to direct talks with Israel says much about the Arab world mindset. The Arab nations (Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt) fear Iranian influence in the Middle East and they know Iran is using the Palestinian issue to further their cause. The so-called moderate Arab nations have turned their collective backs on Hamas and Hezbollah because they know these groups are Iranian proxies and are being used to expand Iranian influence in the Middle East.

Debkafile is reporting that the Iranian al Qods commander of Tehran's networks and surrogates in Iraq, the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Authority has spent the last ten days in Damascus Syria planning new attacks on Israel. According to Debkafile, Hezbollah's direct commander on behalf of the IRGC, Hassan Mahdavi, is reported by Western intelligence sources as monitoring events in Lebanon. Mahdavi is reportedly leaning hard on Hezbollah's secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah to strike IDF forces within a few days in response to US sponsorship of direct Israeli-Palestinian talks.

The Iranians know Hamas can do little to damage any agreement between Israel and the PA because Hamas is still smarting from Operation Cast Lead. Minus an attack by the United States or Israel on Tehran’s nuclear infrastructure anytime soon, the only Iranian option is to use Hezbollah to create chaos. I will also predict that the UN will soft peddle any attack on Israel by Hezbollah and press Israel into another worthless agreement like 1701. Let’s hope I’m wrong!
