Netanyahu may be justified in crowing over his critics at home. His decision to stand up to the US president's cold shoulder, insults and pressure, has been vindicated, whereas defense minister Ehud Barak and opposition leader Tzipi Liivni have been confounded in their dire warnings that refusal to surrender in a big way to the Palestinians would gravely jeopardize US-Israel relations.

This does not mean Obama has given up on his objective of a two-state solution of the conflict with the Palestinians, but the arm-twisting tactics have been set aside for now.
Obama's new look on Israel was manifested in the words of Rahm Emanuel, when he met a carefully selected group of 15 rabbis from across the United States Thursday, May 13 along with fellow White House officials, including Dennis Ross, senior presidential adviser on Iran and Dan Shapiro, head of Middle East desk at the National Security Council.

Recap of Day Four - The Obama Columbia University Trial with Pastor Manning
Today was a very busy day, but I will make it as brief as possible. First, I want to say that I believe Pastor Manning and his witnesses are proving without a doubt that Obama did not ever attend Columbia University physically. Some of Pastor Manning's witnesses are members of his congregation, but they have been very credible with their testimony. It is their community and they know every nook and cranny of their neighborhood, unlike Obama.
Obama stated in his book "Dreams From My Father" (rumored to be written by Bill Ayers) that he briefly lived at 109th Street and Broadway in Spanish Harlem while he says he attended Columbia University. The only problem is that address in not located in Spanish Harlem and for someone to say that after living in the area and attending the University shows that they do not know the area. So, you figure that one out.
Remember that the purpose of this trial is to prove that Obama never attended Columbia University and that his degree that he obtained was allegedly bought, not earned. Columbia University refuses to comment on this issue or respond to questions. What are they so afraid of? Do you mean to tell me that these records are also sealed? Interesting...
Dr Allan Keyes and Wayne Allyn Root
Pastor Manning stated that he had spoken on the phone with both Dr. Keyes and Wayne Allyn Root about their possible assistance with this trial. Dr. Keyes stated that his lawyers advised him not to testify and pastor Manning understood completely. Wayne Allyn Root, was supposed to testify on Sunday, but there was a mix up and he did not. Mr. Root was willing to testify, but Pastor Manning felt that it was not necessary due to the testimony from Sunday by witnesses.
Plus, there was a massive smear campaign on the Internet by fellow Libertarians that were shouting the "bither" name at Root for even thinking about participating in the Columbia trial. Glenn Beck has many of the libertarians split on this issue and I am sure that Barry and Soros are very happy for Glenn's assistance in undermining the eligibility movement.
Fox New video
Pastor Manning then submitted into evidence a documentary done by Bill Hemmer of Fox News on Obama, prior to the election. The video stated that "over 400 students and faculty were questioned and not one of them knew of Obama or the fact that he even attended Columbia University".
1. The video also showed Obama's school records from Indonesia where it stated that his name was Barry Soetoro and that his religion was Islam. Obama's "Fight the Smears" website once stated that Obama never was a Muslim, but this school records proves that to be untrue.
2. The Fox News documentary stated Obama lived in 96th Street and 1st Ave in NYC, but that seems to contradict his book where he states that he lived in 109th street and Broadway.
3. Obama traveled to Pakistan when he was just 20 years old (more on this later)
4. Obama's roommate was an illegal alien (Pakistani) named Saddiqi.
Witnesses Sabbath La Fleur and her sister Precious La Fleur
Both testified that they checked the Columbia University archives and yearbooks dating from 1980-1985 and they could find no evidence or photos of any Barack Obama or Barry Soetoro. They also testified that they could not find any Phil Bonner either. Obama stated in his book that Bonner was a friend of his that attened Columbia University with him, after a transfer from Occidental college.
1. The professor that Obama named in his book also could not be found in the archives accorded to their testimony.
2. Nothing related to Obama's name could be found in the Political Science dept.
3. Teachers spoke of Obama in his elementary school, his High School, Occidental College and Harvard as well, but no professors have ever mentioned him from Columbia University.
4. Obama stated that he used to hide in the Butler Library, but the witness stated that Library is a major meeting place and it is always very crowded. There is no way to hide there without meeting someone. Yet, nobody ever saw Barry in the Butler Library.
5. There was also a theory that Obama attended the Latrice Mumumba school in Moscow during that time he claimed he was in Columbia, but this has never been proven. This school was created by the Russians to teach radical Marxism to students to help spread communism throughout the world.
6. No photos of Obama taken at his Columbia graduation
Witness Al Landry - Investigative Reporter
1. Al Landry states that Passport office was broken into on March 21, 2008 and that the operation was amateur compared to the Wategate break in. This break in involved the passport records of Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Barack Obama. It was interesting how at first the report did not include Obama in the report of passports that were breached.
Landry believes that this break in was possibly done to cleanse Obama's passport records or possible evidence.
2. Lt. Harris found murdered (gun shot) on April 17th, 2008. Lt. Harris worked for the State Department and he was in charge of the Social Security numbers and passport information. Harris was supposedly cooperating with investigators about the break in. Landry suggests that Harris was "at the wrong place at the wrong time".
The Harris murder has never been solved.
3. Landry then states that it was interesting that Obama's mother Stanley Dunham Soetoro lived in Pakistan for 5 years in an exclusive Hotel called the Hilton International. Obama most likely set up his mother with a job working for the Asian Development Bank. Pastor Manning alleges that this Bank was a front for the CIA.
4. SHOCKING DETAIL - Landry states that he read the Public Service registry in Pakistan and on that registry it stated - "44th President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama and in parenthesis it said (Kenyan Born).
Video on Obama's Community Organizer days
Manning stated that he wanted to submit this video as evidence due to it's claim that Obama handed in many resumes during the two year span after he claims that he graduated from Columbia University.
Pastor Manning then questions "Why is Columbia University so silent on this issue?" I am sure that we all know that answer.
Tuesday, Day Five update:
1. The trial will begin at 9:30am
2. I will send brief cell phone messages to The Conservative Monster with LIVE updates from the trial. Please spread them. The posts will be brief comments, not articles.
3. There will be a march at 116th Street and Broadway in NYC (Across from Columbia University) at 7pm
4. I will be unable to attend the march due to my obligation to report about the days events on The Conservative Monster due to the overwhelming response.

Vietnam allegations threaten frontrunning Blumenthal in CT-Senate
Updated, 10:43 pm
The New York Times' story detailing Connecticut Attorney General Dick Blumenthal's (D) misstatements about his service in Vietnam -- he received five deferments and never served in the country, according to the paper -- has the potential to fundamentally reshape the Nutmeg State Senate race.

Blinding glimpse of the obvious: 'If the Euro collapses, so will the idea of European Union.' German Chancellor Angela Merkel speaks plainly about the failure of the EuroSoviet project.
The unaudited Ponzi Scheme which is called the European Union prepares for naked death. We are watching a slow-motion train wreck. The Brussels EuroSoviet and the US Federal Reserve Board are both collapsing like time-lapse cartoon creations. Global background here (17.05.01).
All major informed international speculators are now betting against the Euro. A total of 113,890 derivatives contracts are in current play.
For five weeks in a row, the smart money has been booked against the Euro. The fake Eurozone bailout is seen as a smoke-and-mirrors obfuscation. The underlying panic is palpable. Nothing can save the Euro. France is ready to return to the Franc. Germany is ready to return to the Deutschmark. EuroZone chaos background here (14.05.10) and here (16.05.10).
********************************************************************************************
Fifteen years ago I sat in the press gallery at the grand celebration of the 50th anniversary of VE Day in London, England, observing and reporting on the proceedings. The occasion was the Heads of State ceremony. In the vip area sat Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Jordan’s King Hussein (at the time the longest-reigning foreign monarch), the prince and princess of Wales and a whole panoply of heads of state from around the world. The occasion was full of pomp and pageantry quite fitting for a nation reflecting on its hard-won victory over tyranny in the cause of freedom and world peace.
Today, one could be forgiven for asking who really won that terrible war, and what it really achieved. For today, the British offer a sad reflection of the strength of leadership, pride in national power and the level of willing public sacrifice which, together with the support of their American brother nation, combined against the most terrible odds to lick the enemy 65 years ago.
This year on May 8 when the British people celebrated VE Day, they did so under a situation of a hung Parliament, truly a witness to the dearth of statesmanlike, Churchillian leadership evident in the ranks of elites in Britain today.
At the same time that the British were remembering their victory over Nazi tyranny, the same spirit that drove the Nazi imperialist dream was at work in the minds of those who were busy behind closed doors figuring out a plan that will accelerate the achievement of the dream that Hitler and Kaiser Wilhelm had both possessed: a European continent united under Berlin’s control. Their emergency closed-door session ended with the very bank that Hitler had used to effect massive transfers of Nazi wealth internationally—the Bank of International Settlements—once again being handed a similar power.
The reality is that the power that the nation of Germany has won either directly or via its dominance of the EU courtesy of the global financial crisis—which began in September 2008 with the subprime mortgage meltdown in America and recently consummated with the sovereign debt fiasco in Europe—is mind-blowing to say the least. And it’s all happened within barely 18 months!
Last Saturday’s financial blitzkrieg now places Germany in the position where it not only obviously dictates European Central Bank policy through its proxy, the EU (which it has done ever since creating the ecb), but clearly dominates, if not directs, the decision-making process in the world’s major global financial institutions.
In September 2008, Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy flew to Washington, demanded and got U.S. agreement to hold an emergency G-20 meeting. By virtue of its majority vote within the G-20, the Franco-German axis clearly demonstrated its dominance of global economic policy formulation at that and each subsequent G-20 summit. Since it was German elites who called the tune on the recent European bailout (notwithstanding Mrs. Merkel’s apparent procrastination and Mr. Sarkozy’s flag waving at the end of negotiations), it is obvious that Germany, through its EU proxy partners, now controls by majority EU vote the setting of global financial policy.
EU majority under German leadership of the G-20 is the main power behind the creation of the new global fiscal regulatory authority, the Financial Stability Board (fsb), chaired by ex-Vatican banker and now governor of the Italian Bank and board member of the ecb, Mario Draghi. The influence of Rome and Berlin in the creation of this enterprise will place a “Holy” Roman German imperialist stamp on its approach to global financial regulation as soon as the fsb is formally established.
Most recently, with the decision of European elites to place the ex-Nazi bank, the Bank of International Settlements (bis), in charge of all international transfers of funds associated with the sovereign debt bailout, a bank once again under German dominance, this virtually gives Europe’s most predominant nation a controlling power in each of the globe’s most influential and powerful financial institutions. It is a virtual takeover by powerful German Roman Catholic elites of the global financial system—over fiscal policy formulation, financial regulation, and international money transfers.
The ecb, the G-20, the fsb and the bis—all these institutions now dance to Germany’s tune!
Via its dominance of these four powerful institutions, and given the right leadership, Germany is now in a position at some time in the future to dictate, through its powerfully influential Roman Catholic EU elites, global economic and financial strategy, and, by association, international trade, in fulfillment of Revelation 13:16-17!
So who did really win the war for which Britain celebrated victory on May 8?
The United States has now won its last war! …. We have the power, but we are afraid to use it! Our high standard of living is starting downward. …
Europeans had relied on the United States for protection against Russia. They are fast losing confidence in that reliance. Soon they will unite politically and militarily in a gigantic United States of Europe—a resurrection of the once powerful “Holy Roman Empire.” And it will be a threat that could destroy the United States and Britain.
Already the once proud British Empire has crumbled. They were proud of their power—a proud people. They are no longer a major nation.
With unerring foresight, Herbert Armstrong penned those words 34 years ago! (co-worker letter, Feb. 27, 1976).
Now, with the agglomeration of power gained by Germany under the EU umbrella, the potential for the fulfillment of his prophecy concerning the rise to global dominance of a United States of Europe has become a potent reality!
Suddenly Germany is in the headlines. Germany is on the lips of the most astute commentators on the European sovereign debt crisis. The real thinkers such as reside at the Stratfor think tank, the best of the journalists who closely observe the European scene such as the Telegraph’s Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, the American commentators most attuned to the EU agenda such as Dick Morris, all are voicing concern at the powerful clout that has recently been acquired by European central bankers under German dominance.
