they have a lot in common. Tey are both poor. Tey both
have more children than seven typical families put together.
Tey are both unmarried. And they both expect the government

it is the governments job to pay to raise her children. Angel has

under the age of :,.
Tere are some people helping out, but they need to
do more, she says. Somebody needs to pay for all my
children. Somebody needs to be held accountable,
and they need to pay, she said, as she waved her arm
toward her :: kids now living with her.
Somebody needs to be held accountable: You
mean besides her?
Did someone force her to have so many chil-

somehow it was Gods fault. Whatever God wants
to happen is okay with me.
Do you really think God wanted her to start
a family without a husband: Do you think God
wanted her to have :o children with a anc

want neglected, impoverished children without

within Israels exclusive economic
zone in the Mediterranean, although
Lebanon originally insisted that
Leviathan crosses into its waters.
Exploration continues, and it could
be only a matter of time before a eld
is discovered straddling contested
boundaries.
Imagine a scenario in which a new
eld is found in Israeli waters but
bleeds into the ,,o-square-mile dis-
puted area where Israel and Lebanons
claimed economic zones overlap. It
could also run into Cypriot territorial
waters. Suddenly, the world could face
a situation in which Turkey insists
that the eld not be developed until
the problem of a divided Cyprus is
resolved, while Hezbollah threatens
to take military action against what
it sees as an Israeli eort to comman-
deer Lebanese national resources. (In
December :o:o, Hezbollah stated that
it wouldnt allow Israel to plunder
Lebanons maritime assets.) Te U.S.
would be pulled in two directions
one by its .1o ally Turkey, the other
by Israel.

n Egyptians vote for president
On Wednesday and Tursday, Egyp-
tians went to the polls to freely elect
their president for the rst time
afer oo years of military dictator-
ship. Turnout for the election was
reported to be high. With only a small
number of votes counted Tursday,
the Muslim Brotherhoodand also
several Arab television stationswas
claiming its candidate, Mohammed
Morsi, was in the lead in exit polls.
Tis election is a key indicator for
Egypts future. If Egypt elects an Is-
lamist, tension in the Middle East will
rise dramatically. It is already appar-
ent that the historic :, peace treaty
between Israel and Egypt will not
survive. Results of the election will be
announced on May :, and a runo
election held between the two front-
runners on June :o-:, if no candidate
gains ,o percent of the vote.
n Iran buys time with Baghdad
talks
Six world powers resumed the lat-
est round of talks with Iran about
its nuclear program on Wednesday.
Te negotiations are taking place
in Baghdad. No breakthroughs are
expected in these talks. In fact, their
main signicance seems to be that
they demonstrate Irans ability to buy
more time. Iran is trying to force the
West to ease sanctions. In exchange,
it is oering to gradually address the
concerns about its nuclear ambitions.
Tehran has tentatively agreed to al-
low United Nations inspectors into a
military base with suspected links to
nuclear arms testing.
n Iran establishes military
presence in northern Iraq
Iran has set up heavily-armed
military bases in the Kurdish area
of northern Iraq, according to a
May :o report in Iraqi media. Citing
eyewitnesses and eld reporters, the
report says Iranian defense forces
have established bases in the
Qandil Mountain area, many
miles inside of Iraq. Stratfor
analyst Reva Bhalla said the
bases represent a signicant
advancement for Iranian
military operations in this
region (May :o). Te report
will not come as a great sur-
prise to longtime readers of
the Trumpet, which has pre-
dicted for over :o years that
Iraq would fall under Iranian
inuence.
Israels Undersea Gas
Bonanza
BLOOMBERG | May 21
E
uvv1s uicisio last month to stop
selling natural gas to Israel could
be a harbinger of increasingly con-
frontational Egyptian-Israeli relations,
an indication of a worsening Egyptian
economy, or both.
In any case, the end of the arrange-
ment, which provided o percent of
Israels supply, suggests the need for
more Israeli creative thinking and
assertive diplomacynot with Egypt
but, counter intuitively, with Turkey
and Lebanon.
Te Egyptian move would have
raised greater concerns just a few
years ago than it does today among Is-
raelis, who import ,o percent of natu-
ral gas and all of their oil. Ten, Israel
saw no alternative to a near-complete
dependence on other countries to
meet its energy needs.
Discoveries of large underwater gas
elds in the eastern Mediterranean,
however, have changed Israels energy
prospects almost overnight. In :oo, a
consortium of U.S. and Israeli compa-
nies discovered the Tamar eld about
,o miles o the Israeli coast, with an
estimated 8., trillion cubic feet of gas.
A year later, a similar consortium dis-
covered Leviathan, a huge eld nearby
estimated to hold :o trillion cubic feet
of natural gas.
Tese nds, and the prospect of
more in adjacent waters, could be
strategic game-changers for Israel.
If true, Israel could meet its
own electricity needs in the
future and possibly become a
net exporter to a gas-thirsty
region.
But, because nothing is
simple in the Middle East,
there is also a real threat
that these gas discoveries
could serve as a spur for
conict rather than eco-
nomic growth. Te Tamar
and Leviathan discoveries
are generally accepted to fall
Egyptians go to the polls to freely elect their president
for the rst time afer 60 years of military dictatorship.

EUROPE
A Greek Exit Could
Make the Euro Area
Stronger
BLOOMBERG | May 22
A
Gviix exit from the euro area
would inict heavy damage in
Greece and throughout Europe. It
could also be one of the best things that
ever happened to the currency union.
Greeces repeat parliamentary
election next month will serve as a
referendum on whether the country
should end its ::-year membership in
the common currency. An armative
answer would trigger a cardiac arrest
of the Greek economy, as the banking
system collapsed and foreign suppliers
refused payment in drachmas.
For the European economy as a
whole, the primary danger would be
the reintroduction of currency risk
into what has been billed as an irrevo-
cable monetary union. When Greek
banks collapse, or have to be closed
for a prolonged holiday to facilitate a
forced conversion of deposits into new
drachmas, one cannot predict whether
citizens and rms across the periphery
of Europe will pull their money out
of their banks just in case. Te result
could be nancially disastrous.
Te potentially dire repercussions
have led many to assume that no re-
sponsible European policy maker would
allow a Greek exit to take place.
What Europes leaders will not
countenance is a breakup of the euro.
Terein lies the silver lining of a Greek
exit. To protect the currency union
from the fallout, the remaining mem-
bers will have to move very quickly
toward the economic and nancial in-
tegration that has always been neces-
sary for the euros long-term survival.
Such is the nature of the European
Union and the history of regional
integration: It is propelled by bouts of
acute crisis. Make-or-break moments
are what shape the boundaries of the
politically possible and inspire leaders
to do whatever it takes to save the
euro.
Te catastrophic economic reper-
cussions in Greecewhich would be
very visible for electorates in other
countrieswould have a consolidat-
ing eect on the euro area. It would
demonstrate the limits of bailouts
and the consequences of irresponsible
behavior, alleviating the risk of moral
hazard in the remaining member
states. No peripheral electorates would
want to emulate Greeces experiences.
Northern taxpayers would be satis-
ed that their nancial support was
neither unlimited nor unconditional.
As a result, the thorny politics of scal-
integration projects, such as the in-
troduction of euro-area bonds, would
become much easier to handle.
Beyond that, losing Greece would
relieve one of the euro areas biggest
problems: Its member economies have
been too out of sync to share a com-
mon monetary policy. Te departure
of the most economically and politi-
cally challenged member would allow
the remaining :o members to act
much more like a unit.

to sta the edgling postwar German secret service. Te

the vision of nations old elites for the revival of German
imperialism.
Since Germanys reunication in :o, the secret service
has grown into a highly ecient outt with a cutting-edge
approach to surveillance.
Tough the vu has generally stayed out of the spot-
light of controversy, some recent headlines indicated a
degree of laxity in a couple of cases in which the vu was
involved: the loss of plans for its new Berlin oce com-
plex; and what was reported as a botched involvement
with a neo-Nazi group. Tese lapses led to a leadership
change at the top.
Gerhard Schindler, whose rise to the top has been rapid,
is now in charge.
Te most signicant public statement that Schindler has
made since gaining oce is, I dont want to change the
attitude of the sta. In my whole career I have never met
so many highly motivated colleagues as here. With an eye
to developing global disorder, he added, Te service must
become more willing to take risks . Tere must be no
hesitation in the worlds crisis regions. We must be the rst
to go in and the last to leave.
Here is a man for the moment. Germany is seeking to
take a lead role in the Middle East peace process. Its agents
are well embedded in North Africa, working with the
German military in establishing beachheads for further
southward and eastward expansion of German hegemony.
Schindlers hints at ramping up vu risk-taking gel with
recent reports of German elites strengthening their nations
presence at key points surrounding crucial Middle East oil
elds and sea gates.
Watch for the vu under Schindlers leadership to take
on a higher risk approach to gaining dominance in the
Middle East, and to be rst in and last out when German
strategic interests are at stake.

THE TRUMPET WEEKLY
P
vissUvi o Greece increased dramatically on Wednes-
day night afer Germanys central bank called for a
suspension of nancial support to Athens and eurozone
nance ministries agreed to draf contingency plans for a
Greek exit from the euro.
In a blunt warning to Athens, the Bundesbank said a
Greek withdrawal from the eurozone would be disruptive
but manageable, undermining claims by Greeces radical
anti-austerity leader, Alexis Tsipras, that Europe would not
dare pull the plug.
When the euro system provided Greece with large
amounts of liquidity, it trusted that the programs would be
implemented and thereby ultimately assumed considerable
risks, said the bank. In the light of the current situation,
it should not signicantly increase these risks.
Te German nancial daily Handelsblatt said the
Bundesbank was holding a gun to Greeces head, ham-
mering home the message that Germany will not submit to
blackmail from populist politicians in Athens.
Berlin also leaked news that their member on the Euro-
pean Central Bank board, Jrg Asmussen, is to head an icv
taskforce to handle the Greek crisis.
Tere was confusion in Brussels over leaks that imU
Finance Ministry ocials had agreed in a meeting on Mon-
dayallegedly in the name of Eurogroup executivesthat
each state should draw up a national plan to cope with a
Greek exit.
Tere were suspicions that Germany had leaked its own
proposal without gaining the assent of other EU states. Te
move has further poisoned the atmosphere, though ocials
played down the exit plans last night. Te escalating brink-
manship between Athens and imUs creditor powers came as
European leaders gathered in Brussels last night for a growth
dinner, an agenda already overtaken by fast-moving events.
Disarray in Europe and fears of an unstoppable Greek
exit sent markets into a tailspin.
Te summit was a polite showdown between Germany
and an emerging Latin bloc led by France, Italy and
Spain, determined to force a change in Europes strategic
direction. Te Latin coalition wants eurobonds to kickstart
growth and mutualize debts, anathema to Germany, as well
as imU-wide deposit guarantees and an activist icv. Chan-
cellor Angela Merkel has ruled out eurobonds, although
there could still be room for project bonds or short-term
euro-bills.
Spanish leader Mariano Rajoy warned that spiraling
borrowing costs were pushing his country towards the
brink. Europe has to come up with an answer because we
cant go on like this for long, he said.
Fitch Ratings said the sums needed to keep Greece on
track at this stage were pretty small compared with the
sunk costs of past rescues. Te Greeks have not run out of
bargaining power, it said.
David Riley, Fitchs managing director, said it would
downgrade all eurozone states if Greece lef. Europes poli-
cymakers would have to conjure a new regime for Euro-
land, and a quantum leap to scal union to restore credibil-
ity. Tey couldnt simply shrug it o, he said.
Debt Crisis: Germany Holds a Gun to Greeces Head
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, TELEGRAPH | May 23
Ultimately, only deeper integra-
tion among the remaining euro-
area members could re-establish the
notion that the currency union was
irrevocable afer a Greek exit. Fortu-
nately, thats precisely the response
Greeces departure would be most
likely to produce.
The crisis in Greece is a forerunner
of a whole rash of similar crises set
to soon break out across Europe.
They will provide the catalyst for the
EUs leading nation, Germany, to rise
to the fore with solutions of its own
making. Biblical prophecy declares
that the result will be a European
superstate with Germany at the
helm. And that is not good news for
America, Britain and the little nation
called Israel.

On the Relevance of
Democracy
GERMAN-FOREIGN-POLICY.COM | May 21
I
1ui run-up to new elections in
Greece, the German elite is discuss-
ing various scenarios involving the
use of force to ensure control over
Athens, including the establishment
of a protectorate or the deployment
of protection forces in that southern
European country.
Te German austerity dictate, push-
ing Greece into destitution, is provok-
ing growing popular resistance, which,
apparently, can no longer be sup-
pressed with democratic means. Berlin
has failed in its eorts to force Athens
into subordination by threatening to
withdraw the euro, as much as with its
demand that Greece combines its par-
liamentary elections with a referendum
on the question of remaining in the
eurozone. Berlin categorically rejects
the option of retracting the austerity
dictate and replacing it with stimulus
programs, as is being demanded by
leading economists worldwide, even
though the exclusion of Greece from
the eurozone threatens to push the
currency, itself, into an abyss.

Euro nance ministries have recom-
mended that EU nations draw up
contingency plans for Greece leaving
the eurozone, according to leaked

pean Commission denied the rumors.
Reuters said three ocials told it the Eu-
rogroup Working Group (iwu), a group

THE TRUMPET WEEKLY
of experts that advise eurozone nance
ministers, agreed to give this advice
at a teleconference meeting on May
::. Meanwhile, the Bundesbank said
a Greece exit from the euro would be
tough but manageable. Te bank also
called for the European Central Banks
loans to Greece to be cut. Te German
nancial paper Handelsblatt said the
banks statement was like holding a
gun to Greeces head. Reuters also
reported: Ocials said that in addi-
tion to Italy and Finland, Germany,
the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Bel-
gium, Austria and Slovakia have also
either already started, or would soon
start, drawing up contingency plans
(May:,). Banks and large businesses
also reported to be putting together
contingency plans. Greeces member-
ship in the eurozone is simply not
sustainable. Euro leaders may be able
to prop it up a little longer, but Greeces
exit will be part of a chain of events that
is destined to completely change Europe.
n British historian: Euro crisis
creating a federal Europe
Te euro crisis could quickly trans-
form the European Union into a
federal Europe, which is exactly what
its designers planned, predicted British
historian Niall Ferguson in an inter-
view published in the Sunday Times
on May :o with the title One Nation
(Under Germany). For the Eurocrats
behind the project, this is exactly
according to plan. I think its worth
considering that the architects of the
monetary union knew all along that
it would lead to a crisis and the crisis
would lead to a federal solution, he
said. In fact, you could say it was ac-
tually designed to create a crisis. Tis
new Europe could arrive quicker than
the world expects, he said: I think
you might be surprised by how quickly
[the German political elite] move when
the chips are down. Ferguson said
he saw Europe introducing measures
such as tax harmonization despite
opposition from countries like the
Netherlands. Te Irish will squeak,
but they have no leverage, he said.
Another catalyst for this federal union
is the widespread dissatisfaction with
national politicians, said Ferguson.
Te national politics of continental
Europe is collapsing, and thats paving
the way toward a federal solution in
ways that arent fully understood in
Britain, he said. Fergusons analysis
makes a couple of good points that are
usually lost in the babble of conicting
analyses of the euro crisis. Firstly, the
euro was designed to force this kind of
situation to come about. And secondly,
though it will be painful, a federal
Europe will emerge from the crisis.

began his second term in oce on
Sunday with a forecast for deeper rela-
tions with old rival China. But he said
a formal peace accord was not urgent.
His comments came amid two days of
street demonstrations.
Te Taiwanese president, who
was rst elected in :oo8 on pledges
to ease tension with rising military
power China, said he would stick to
that course. President Ma Ying-jeou
said he expected more deals like the
:o trade, transit and economic agree-
ments that were signed between the
two sides over the past four years.
But President Ma told a news
conference he was in no hurry to sign
a formal peace accord with Beijing
without popular support. He was
criticized afer making the suggestion
last year.
Protester Chen Hsien-che, a
,o-year-old cosmetics worker from
northern Taiwan, says he is concerned
that the presidents policies will
allow Taiwan to be consumed by the
Communist rival. He says Taiwanese
people are denitely worried, because
they have lived on the island for so

peace and love freedom they would
not survive the sudden impact of

n U.S. report: Chinas military
gains are result of spying
China is quickly modernizing its mili-
tary power in part by stealing Western
dual-use technologies, the U.S. De-
partment of Defense said in its annual
report on China last week. Te report
said Chinese spies are the worlds most
active and persistent perpetrators of
economic espionage. It highlighted
the need for increased attention to this
issue because of the intensifying threat
it poses to U.S. economic security.
Chinas mushrooming power and its
espionage campaigns present a sober-
ing danger to the U.S., and they will in-
tensify in the months and years ahead.
n Russia tests missile in warning
over U.S. shield
Russia tested a new long-range mis-
sile on Wednesday to demonstrate
Moscows ability to penetrate missile
defense systems, in its latest warning
to Washington over building a mis-
sile shield in Europe. Te missile was
successfully launched from a base in
northwestern Russia and its dummy
warhead struck on target on the
Kamchatka peninsula on the Pacic
coast. Russias Defense Ministry said
the new missile improves Russias of-
fensive arsenal, including by increas-
ing the capability to overcome missile
defense systems that are being created.
Te test follows a threat earlier this
month by Russias top soldier, who
said if Washington forges ahead with
plans to build missile defense facili-
ties in Eastern Europe, Moscow will
destroy them with a preemptive strike.
On Sunday, the U.S. said .1o had
brushed o this threat, and said it will
forge ahead with the planned shield.
As Russias desire to rebuild its former
Soviet glory intensies, so does its
saber rattling and its actual military
abilities. Russia knows that the Eastern
European nations that were once part
of the Soviet Union are closely watch-
ing its response to the planned U.S.
shield. Moscow could use the situation
as a chance to display its might, in an
eort to win these nations back into its
sphere of control.
n South Korea forging military
pacts with China, Japan
South Korea is forging a military
cooperation pact with China, the De-
fense Ministry said on Monday. South
Koreas Defense Ministry said there has
been a need for Seoul and Beijing to
have a mutual logistical support treaty
for years, and now they are taking
measures to bring it to life. Analysts
say the move may be, in part, an eort
by Seoul to sofen any possible back-
lash from a similar accord in the works
between South Korea and Japan. South
Koreas agreement with Japan will
mark the rst-ever military agreement
between the two countries since Japans
::o-, colonial rule of Korea. As Asian
nations watch the nations of Europe
moving toward unication, they will
lay aside longstanding disputes be-
tween each other and create a unied
Asian bloc.
T
uvii vi.vs ago, during a spring
assembly at Herbert W. Armstrong
College, editor in chief Gerald Flurry
expounded on a prophecy in Isa-
iah:,. Te essence of this prophecy, he
explained, is the end-time formation of
a brief alliance between a German-led
European Union and major Asian pow-
ers. Isaiah calls it a mart of nations, or an alliance founded
primarily on trade and commerce.
Mr. Flurry also explained that this Euro-Asian partner-
ship would eventually destroy the United States and Brit-
ain. Should Europe, the resurrected Holy Roman Empire,
nd a way to take advantageeven for a momentof key
resources and strategic holdings of China, Russia and Japan,
it would have more than enough power to besiege the Anglo-
Saxon nations and enslave them, he wrote.
Tat was three years ago.
Last week, the European Council on Foreign Relations, a
major and well-respected Europe-based think tank, pub-
lished a revelatory report titled China and Germany: Why
the Emerging Special Relationship Matters for Europe. Te
report is fascinating and dramaticbut only when consid-
ered in the context of Isaiah :, and Mr. Flurrys explanation.
Te authors write: Against the background of [Europes
debt] crisis, Chinese ocials and analysts see a Germany
that is increasingly powerful, a France that is weakened, and
a UK that is marginalized. Tey therefore see Germany play-
ing an increasingly decisive role in EU decision-making and
therefore feel they have little choice but to approach Europe
through Germany.
As one Chinese ocial put it, If you want something
done in Brussels you go to Berlin.
Tis relationship, just as Isaiah forecast :,,oo years ago, is
underpinned primarily by trade and commerce. Naturally,
these healthy trade relations have given rise to greater politi-
cal cooperation. Finally, these two countries have another
trait in common: Both Berlin and Beijing are ofen allied
against the U.S., particularly on issues related to the global
economy.
Its early, but as this comprehensive and important report
notes, there is no doubt that a German-Chinese alliance is
forming. Perhaps some mock us for letting Bible prophecy
inform our analysis of world events. But its getting harder
and harder to deny the facts: that Germany is the unchecked
leader of Europe; that Europe is quickly transforming into a
German-designed creation; and that relations between Ger-
many, China and Russia are getting healthier and stronger.
And lets not forget the larger, more important fact: that
all three of these trends were prophesied, and that world
events, yet again, are proving the Bible as the more sure
word of God!

He becomes allergic to rain.
Recently, the owner of a marketing
rm in Britain decided to oer jobs
to seven people claiming government
benets. Te rst day of work, not
one of the new employees showed up.
None even called to say they couldnt make it.
Te company called all of them to ask where they were.
Some of them, recognizing the number, refused to answer.
When they were nally reached, ve of the seven frankly
admitted they would rather remain on welfare than work.
One said he didnt want to have to pay the train fare.
Another called afer lunch and said, Oh, Im sorry. I over-
slept. Four said they couldnt make it to work because it
was raining.
Amazingly, the people Mr. Cooper hired, despite failing
to come to work, will not lose their handouts. Teyre okay
as long as they keep applying for a certain number of jobs
each week and show up to any job interviews oered. Also,
they must accept a job on oer unless work conditions
wouldnt t their circumstances. Like, for example, if go-
ing to work would mean having to brave droplets of water
descending pell-mell from the skies.
Indiscriminate welfare doesnt helpit handicaps. Such
endeavors fail because they disregard the wisdom of the
Bible.
Te scriptural command is that if someone doesnt work,
he doesnt eat (: Tessalonians ,::o). Giving someone un-
merited welfare may look righteous, but it inevitably turns
into more of a curse than a blessing. It feeds a shifless mob
while bankrupting our nations.
Have you ever looked at the laws God gave to ancient
Israel on this subject: God provided for the poorand
encouraged them to return to earning their daily breadin
simple, ingenious ways. With few exceptions, these indi-
viduals were dealt with not nationally, but locally, through
laws requiring specic acts of charity from family and
community.
For example, landowners were commanded to leave the
corners of their elds or orchards unreaped, and any grain
that dropped during reaping untouched, to be reserved for
the poor (Leviticus ::-:o). Te poor couldnt harvest and
transport food away from the eldbut were welcome to
ll an empty belly. Te poor had to get out and work. If you
wanted a meal, you were welcome to itbut you had to go
into the eld and pick it yourself.
Gods law forbade people from proting o selling food
to the poor. Tose in need were permitted to buy food at
cost (Leviticus :,:,,-,,). God also commanded that those
in genuine need be given interest-free loans aimed at help-
ing them back onto their feet (Exodus ::::,). God forbade
taking advantage of the poor by extracting dicult conces-
sions like extortionary collateral (verses :o-:,).
Based on the overarching principle of treating others as
we want to be treated, they engender a spirit of generosity
and compassion toward the less fortunate. Tey keep those
with plenty personally mindful of those in want without
unduly burdening them. (In fact, God promised to bless
those who provided for the poor in this wayDeuterono-
my :::.)
Moreover, these laws provide for the poor without gov-
ernment subsidies or welfare programs, keeping the burden
of welfare o the state. Tis creates a much healthier situa-
tionfor the poor, for the wealthy, and for the government.
Ignoring these timeless biblical principles is bringing
curses upon countless people today. Unemployed moochers
who wont venture out in the rain unwittingly prove the age-
less relevance of the Bibles wisdom. Gods spiritual law is not
done away. It remains inescapably binding on all men today.

ui 1vvic.i American household
would have paid nearly all of its
income in taxes last year to balance
the budget if the government used
standard accounting rules to compute
the decit, a USA Today analysis nds.
Under those accounting practices,
the government ran red ink last year
equal to s:,o, per householdnearly
four times the ocial number reported
under unique rules set by Congress.
A U.S. households median income
is s,,, the Census reports.
Te big dierence between the of-
cial decit and standard accounting:
Congress exempts itself from including
the cost of promised retirement ben-
ets. Yet companies, states and local
governments must include retirement
commitments in nancial statements,
as required by federal law and private
boards that set accounting rules.
Te decit was s, trillion last year
under those rules. Te ocial number
was s:., trillion. Liabilities for Social
Security, Medicare and other retire-
ment programs rose by s,., trillion in
:o::, according to government actuar-
ies, but the amount was not registered
on the governments books.
Decits are a major issue in this
years presidential campaign, but USA
Today has calculated federal nances
under accounting rules since :oo and
found no correlation between uctua-
tions in the decit and which party
ran Congress or the White House.
By law, the federal govern-
ment cant tell the truth, says

Danger Lurks in Our
New Demographics
Thomas Sowell, NEWSMAX | May 21
N
ow 1u.1 census data showfor
the rst time in American histo-
rythe number of white babies born
exceeded by the number of babies
born to non-white minorities the
question is: What does this mean for
the future of American society:
Politically, it means that minorities
who traditionally vote overwhelming-
ly for Democrats can ensure that the
country veers ever further to the lef
over the years, making America more
like the welfare states of Europe .
If Republican politicians save
themselves by becoming Democrats
under a dierent labeland appeal to
minorities as minorities, rather than
as Americansthe same policies and
attitudes will have the same destruc-
tive eect on the American economy
and society.
Te growth of ever bigger and even
more intrusive government means
that the freedom, for which genera-
tions of Americans have fought and
died on battleelds, around the world
can be slowly but steadily lost within
our own country.
Painful as such outcomes can
be, the dangers do not end there. A
continuation of the current political
tendency to take away the money re-
quired for national defense, and spend
it instead on handouts that will win
votes, means that our enemies around
the world will have golden opportuni-
ties at our expense.
Again, the dangers may not be im-
mediate. But they can be catastrophic
when they catch up with usand
catch us unprepared. We recovered
from Pearl Harbor at enormous
cost, including the needless deaths of
American soldiers, ghting for their
lives with obsolete military equipment
against enemies with state-of-the-art
weapons.
But even such sacrices which
brought us time to catch up during
the Second World War may not even
be enough in a nuclear age.
Demography is not destiny. But the
history of Balkanized and polarized
societies in the :oth century is a his-
tory of horrors that we dare not ignore.
We are not at that terrible point
yet. But that is the direction in which
we are headed, under the spell of
magic words like multiculturalism
and diversity, which have become
substitutes for thoughts, even among
those who pride themselves on being
thinking people.
Our whole educational system,
from the elementary schools to the
universities, is permeated with ideolo-
gies of group grievances and resent-
ments, painting each group into the
corner of its own separate subculture,
instead of drawing them into the
mainstream of the American culture
that made this the greatest nation on
earth.
Unless the fashionable Balkaniza-
tion is stopped, demography can
become destinyand a tragedy for all.

oU1ivvii1 iiic1voic parts from China are ood-
ing into critical U.S. military systems, including special
operations helicopters and surveillance planes, and are
putting the nations troops at risk, according to a new U.S.
Senate committee report.
A year-long investigation conducted by the Senate
Armed Services Committee found more than : million sus-
pected counterfeit parts made their way into the Depart-
ment of Defenses supply chain and were bound for use by
critical military systems, according to the ,o-plus-page
document released Monday. In addition to Navy helicop-
ters and surveillance planes, the parts were slated to be put
into the Air Forces newest cargo planes.
Te failure of a single electronic part can leave a soldier,
sailor, airman, or Marine vulnerable at the worst possible
time, the report says. Unfortunately, a ood of counter-
feit electronic parts has made it a lot harder to prevent that
from happening.
Chinese companies were identied as the primary
source of the counterfeit goods and the Chinese govern-
ment was criticized for its alleged disinterest in cracking
down on counterfeiting there. Te report said that Chinese
companies take discarded electronic parts from all over the
world, remove any identifying marks, wash and refurbish
them, and then resell them as brand-newa practice that
poses a signicant risk to the performance of U.S. mili-
tary systems.
But the committee also pointed a nger at the Pentagon
and U.S.-based defense contractors that rely on hundreds
of unvetted independent distributors.

in the military. Yet, the Associated
Press states that there are still more
than :,o,ooo jobs that remain closed
to women.
Te army is also opening jobs that
were once entirely closed to women,
such as mechanics for tanks and
artillery, and rocket launcher crew
members.
Te Trumpet has been watching
the trend to open up more military
jobs to women for over a decade. Te
single most transformative change
in the United States military over the
past centuryparticularly the past
generationhas been the massive
expansion of the womans role, we
wrote six years ago. Has this helped
the eectiveness of Americas forces:
Te ocial line is yesor, at least, that
it certainly hasnt hurt. Whether or
not you believe that, the metamor-
phosis of Americas all-male warrior
military into an almost completely
sex-integrated force has only occurred
because of a lot of buried facts, wish-
ful thinking, duplicity, doublespeak
and deliberate deceit.
Studies show that the majority of
Americans believe that, while women
serving in support functions is ne,
they should not be placed in combat
situations. Tat popular idea runs
directly contrary to the doctrine of an
aggressive minority of lobbyists and
politicians, who have been trying to
push women into combat for over ,o
years. Whether or not the American
public realizes it, that minority has
essentially won its war.
Did the Obama
Administration Betray
Its Own Bin Laden
Informant?

T
ui ,.iiiu by Pakistan of the doctor
who led the ci. to bin Ladens hide-
out in Abbottabad is clearly an outrage.
Te Pakistani doctor, Shakil Afridi,
who has been thrown into prison for ,,
years for treason, should be regarded
instead as a national and global hero
for helping run bin Laden nally to
earth. His jailingin a farcical trial
without a judge or his own lawyeris
the clearest demonstration that Paki-
stan, which the West treats as an ally
against the Islamic jihad against the
free world, is actually its enemy.
When Dr. Afridi was jailed, U.S.
security ocials expressed horror, as
well they might. But was Dr. Afridi
actually betrayed by the Obama ad-
ministration itself:
New York Congressman Peter King,
chairman of the House Homeland Se-
curity Committee, certainly thinks so
[the New York Times reports]: King
said that the administration gave away
the doctors name and discussed the
u. samples he collected to verify it
was bin Laden living in the compound
in Abbottabad. ... King, a Republican
from New York, said that Obamas
team should not have spoken about
the doctor and his program, eec-
tively giving away his identity. Tey
put him out there, said King adding
that he is unaware of any eorts the
T
ui uvi.1is1 tragedy of progressive education is not the
students lack of skills, but of teachable character.
Instructors who award low grades in humanities dis-
ciplines will likely be familiar with a phenomenon that
occurs afer the rst essays are returned to students: former
smiles vanish, hands once jubilantly raised to answer ques-
tions are now resentfully folded across chests, oended
pride and sulkiness replace the careless cheer of former
days. Too ofen, the smiles are gone for good because the
customary B+ or A grades have been withheld, and
many students cannot forgive the insult.
Te matter doesnt always end there. Some students are
prepared for a ght, writing e-mails of entreaty or threat,
or besieging the instructor in his oce to make clear that
the grade is unacceptable. Every instructor who has been
so besieged knows the legion of excuses. When one
points out grievous inadequaciesfactual errors, self-con-
tradiction, illogical argument, and howlers of nonsensical
phrasingthe student shrugs it o: Yes, yes, a few mistakes,
the consequences of too much coee, my roommates poor
typing, another assignment due the same day; but you
could still see what I meant, couldnt you, and the general
idea was good, wasnt it:
Teir belief that nothing requires improvement except
the grade is one of the biggest obstacles that teachers face in
the modern university. And that is perhaps the real tragedy
of our education system: not only that so many students
enter university lacking the basic skills and knowledge to
succeed in their coursesterrible in itselfbut also that
they ofen arrive essentially unteachable, lacking the per-
sonal qualities necessary to respond to criticism.
Te unteachable student has been told all her life that she
is excellent: gifed, creative, insightful, thoughtful, able to
succeed at whatever she tries, full of potential and innate abil-
ity. In the past :o years, the well-documented phenom-
enon of grade ination in humanities subjectsthe awarding
of high Bs and As to the vast majority of studentshas
increased the conviction that everyone is rst-rate.
Eventually, the fraud will be revealed: by an employer
who nds him inadequate, by his own dawning recognition
that he cannot achieve what he hoped. Te reckoning will
likely be bitter; evidence exists that the pedagogy of false
esteem can even cause psychological harm.
Despite the admittedly important emphasis on charac-
ter formation in our schoolson tolerance, anti-racism,
refusal of bullying, and so onit seems that we have failed
to show students what real achievement looks like and what
it will require of them.

Parents Obsessed
With Mobiles and
iPads Are Guilty of
Child Neglect,
Say Doctors
DAILY MAIL | May 21
P
.vi1s wuo constantly check and
use smartphones and iPads around
their children may be driving them
into a lifelong dependency on 1v and
computer screens, according to a lead-
ing psychologist.
Dr. Aric Sigman said such pas-
sive parenting in the face of the
new media environment is actually a
form of neglect. He will tell a group
of Britains leading doctors today that
the growing addiction could leave a
generation suering damage to the
body as well as the brain.
Te latest statistics show that ::-to-
:,-year-olds spend an average of more
than six hours a day slumped in front
of screens.
Shockingly, the gure only applies
to viewing at home and not to com-
puter use at school or gadgets such as
smartphones in free time.
Dr. Aric Sigman wants 1v banned
for toddlers and severely rationed
for other youngsters and will warn
that parents who use technology as a
babysitter could be setting up their
children for a lifetime of ill health.
His work and studies by other
researchers link time spent in front of
screens with health problems includ-
ing obesity, high cholesterol and blood
pressure, inattentiveness and declines
in maths and reading, as well as sleep
disorders and autism.
Studies also show that the brains
reaction to computer games is similar
to that seen with drugs and alcohol.
He will tell the Royal College of
Pediatrics and Child Healths annual
conference in Glasgow: Whether
children or adults are formally ad-
dicted to screen technology or not,
many of them overuse technology and
have developed an unhealthy depen-
dency on it, he will say.
Dr. Sigman wants television sets
taken out of bedrooms and believes
that the youngest children, whose
brains are still developing, should not
watch 1v at all.
From the age of , to ,, they should
be limited to an hour and a half a day.
Older children should be able to get
by with just two hours of 1v programs
and computer games.
Dr. Sigman will say passive par-
enting is a form of benign neglect as
active parenting makes a signicant
dierence.
Dr. Sigman is far from the rst to
warn about the younger generations
love aair with technology. Susan
Greeneld, one of Britains most emi-
nent scientists,
has repeatedly
warned that
social net-
working sites
may be harm-
ing childrens
brains by
shortening at-
tention spans,
encourag-
ing instant
gratication
and making
young people
more self-
centered.
Constant computer use may also
be infantilizing the brain, making it
harder to learn when things go wrong.

n U.S. stands up to Russia
on missile defense
.1o leaders agreed in Chicago last
Sunday to implement a new European
missile defense shield. Te decision
was openly deant toward Russia,
which says the system could be used
to stop its own nuclear missiles and
therefore would undermine its nuclear
deterrent. On Monday, U.S. President
Barack Obama outlined some of the
specics of the shield, which should be
operational by :o:,: Our defense radar
in Turkey will be placed under .1o

and we look forward to contributions
from other allies, he said. Leaders
from the United States and Europe in-
sist that the missile defense system will
only counter Middle Eastern threats,
and that it will not undermine Rus-
sias strategic deterrent. But Russia has
remained deant, and its relations with
Washington are growing icy.

Um.s .vi quickly becoming an
indoor species.
In part, this is a byproduct of urban-
ization, as most people now live in big
cities. Our increasing reliance on tech-
nology is also driving the trend, with a
recent study concluding that American
children between the ages of 8 and :8
currently spend more than four hours
a day interacting with technology.
As a result, theres no longer time
for nature: From :ooo to :o:o, the
percentage of young children regularly
engaging in outdoor recreation fell by
roughly :, percentage points.
Tis shif is occurring even as
scientists outline the mental benets
of spending time in natural settings.
According to the latest research, un-
tamed landscapes have a restorative
eect, calming our frazzled nerves
and refreshing the tired cortex. Afer a
brief exposure to the outdoors, people
are more creative, happier and better
able to focus. If there were a pill that
delivered these same results, wed all
be popping it.
Consider a forthcoming paper by
psychologist Ruth Ann Atchley and her
colleagues at the University of Kansas.
To collect their data, the researchers
partnered with the nonprot Out-
ward Bound, which takes people on
extended expeditions into nature. To
measure the mental benets of hiking
in the middle of nowhere, Dr. Atchley
gave oo backpackers a standard test of
creativity before they hit the trail. She
gave the same test to a dierent group
of hikers four days into their journey.
Te results were surprising: Te
hikers in the midst
of nature showed
a nearly ,oper-
cent increase in
performance on
the test of creativ-
ity, and the eect
held across all age
groups.
Teres a grow-
ing advantage over
time to being in
nature, says Dr.
Atchley. We think
that it peaks afer
about three days
of really getting
away, turning o
the cellphone. Its when you have an
extended period of time surrounded
by that sofly fascinating environment
that you start seeing all kinds of posi-
tive eects in how your mind works.
Tis latest study builds on a grow-
ing body of evidence demonstrating
the cognitive benets of nature. Al-
though many of us nd the outdoors
alienating and uncomfortablethe
bugs, the bigger critters, the lack of
climate controlthe brain reacts to
natural settings by, essentially, sighing
in relief.
A
vcu.ioiouis1s u.vi uncovered a tiny clay seal inscribed
with the word Bethlehem in what is believed to be the
earliest evidence for the existence of the ancient biblical city.
Te rst ancient artifact constituting tangible evidence
of the existence of the city of Bethlehem, which is men-
tioned in the Bible, was recently discovered in Jerusalem, a
statement Wednesday from the Israel Antiquities Author-
ity said.
Te artifacta piece of clay used for sealing a document
or other object, known as a bullawas uncovered dur-
ing excavations at the City of David, a site just outside the
southern wall of Jerusalems Old City.
On the seal, which measures around :., centimeters
(about half an inch), was the name of the city written in
ancient Hebrew script, it said.
Tis is the rst time the name Bethlehem appears
outside the Bible, in an inscription from the First Temple
period, which proves that Bethlehem was indeed a city in
the kingdom of Judah, and possibly also in earlier periods,
said Eli Shukron, who led the dig.
He said the bulla belonged to a shipment of tax docu-
ments which were sent from Bethlehem to the king in Jeru-
salem, as part of a taxation system used in the kingdom of
Judah in the late eighth and seventh centuries v.c.
Bethlehem is rst mentioned in Genesis, the rst book
of the Bible, as the burial place of Rachel, wife of the patri-
arch Jacob.
According to the New Testament, the West Bank city of
Bethlehem, which lies just south of Jerusalem, was also the
birthplace of Jesus.

Nick Cox, a regional director for the
Department of Children and Families,
spoke on behalf of several agencies
that are trying to help Angeleven
paying o so,ooo worth of her debt.
Everyone has bent over backward, he said. Te mother
has been less than gracious.
It was a vast understatement.
What makes the situation even more sad is that her at-
titudethe entitlement mentality, her ingratitude, the total
absence of personal accountabilityis being passed on to
her children. Her beautiful, unhappy children.
Tis idea that you can do whatever you want, make any
choices in life you wish, have the government come in and
provide your every need, and not have to live with the con-
sequences is hurting the whole country.
Desmond Hatchet is more proof. Desmond is a ,,-year-
old father of ,o children. But he is only a father in the
biological sense. It is tough to spend much time with your
children when they are spread across :: dierent mothers.
Last week he was in court asking for a break on child
support. When his minimum wage salary gets divvied up,
there isnt much lef to live on. Sadly, on some months, his
children only get a dollar or two.
Desmond explains: He had four kids in the same year.
Two dierent times. By accident.
In :oo, when he rst went before a judge for failure to
pay child support, he had :: children. He said he was done.
He had learned his lesson. He then had nine more chil-
drenby accident.
What were these women thinking: Tis makes this
case even more notable. In a society full of out-of-wedlock
childbirths, Desmonds children were not accidents. Many
of Desmonds sperm depositories knowingly and willingly
had childrenand even second childrenwith him. Tey
knew that he had ::, :,, :8 children already. Tey knew he
wouldnt be around.
And they didnt care.
Yes, many women today dont care whether or not they
have a husband. Desmond is young and attractive, and he
makes them feel special. So they have his children. And his
seconds. And someday probably his thirds.
And who pays for all these children: Not ,,-year-old
Desmond with his minimum-wage job. Not the single
mothers with their babies.
You pay. Food stamps. Subsidized housing. Taxes for
deadbeats, delinquents and selsh, mooching mothers.
In :o::, there were almost :o million children living
with delinquent or absent fathers, according to data refer-
enced by c.
No typo:o million. I read that and then realized that,
sadly, America doesnt care. If it did, there would be out-
rage. Tere would be shame. Tere would be change.
Ten I realized that Americas president came from a
broken family. Hollywood is one big broken family. Sperm
banks and scientists let single women become moth-
ers. Doctors who are supposed to help people, help create
future lives of misery.
Single family parenting has gone mainstream. It is
even glamorous. Tink of all the single-with-children
celebrities.
Single mothers, stand proud, headlined c on
Mothers Day. Te gist of the article was this: Yes a mul-
titude of studies show that single moms largely produce
screwed-up kids. And yes, kids from single parents are
much likelier to drop out of high school, end up in crum-
mier jobs, make less money, suer emotional problems,
abuse drugs, commit crime, and have out-of-wedlock
children themselves, thus perpetuating the cycle. But that
is the bad news, and people should focus on the other sides
of those gures: the kids who succeed and the single moms
who get them there.
How can anybody justify writing this kind of garbage:
Only the fact that so many people desperately want to
believe it.
Te Hungton Post says that with graduation ap-
proaching, it is time to honor all the single mothers
going to university who juggle family, jobs and school
so that their children can have the best future possible.
Tousands of single mothers are succeeding due to
government programs that put them and their children
through school at the same time, says the author. But it
is a lie. Te best thing for those children would be if they
had a fully functioning family complete with a father,
and a mother who spent time with them through most of
the day.
America is facing a massive social problem. Its family
structurefrom which the strength of a nation is builtis
crumbling.
Yet so many people deceive themselves into believing
that this is something to be proud of. With Americas econ-
omy in collapse, and Americas welfare state facing extinc-
tion, it isnt something people will be proud of for long.
