Filmmaker Frank Capra was a masterful storyteller, able to weave a story and tug at the heartstrings effortlessly. It's no wonder, then, that the U.S. Armed Forces turned to him when it wanted to make propaganda movies during wartime. This collection gathers Capra's artfully crafted Why We Fight series, which tells the story of combat from a decidedly American viewpoint -- from the catalyst of battles to the hard-won victories.

       Notes in black are mine (Bob Barney)  

³⁶ "The king of the North  (This is a Hitler-like leader, probably from Germany, which are the descendants of ancient Assyrians, and rule the revival of the Holy Roman Empire, the beast of Revelation) will do whatever he wants. He will brag about himself and praise himself and think he is even better than a god. He will say things against the God of gods that no one has ever heard. And he will be successful until all the bad things have happened. Then what God has planned to happen will happen.³⁷ The king of the North will not care about the gods his ancestors worshiped or the god that women worship. He won't care about any god. Instead, he will make himself more important than any god.³⁸ The king of the North will worship power and strength, which his ancestors did not worship. He will honor the god of power with gold and silver, expensive jewels and gifts.³⁹ That king will attack strong, walled cities with the help of a foreign god. He will give much honor to the people who join him, making them rulers in charge of many other people. And he will make them pay him for the land they rule.

 ⁴⁰ "At the time of the end, the king of the South  (this is the leader of a United States of the Muslim Nations, composing of all north Africa through Pakistan.) will fight a battle against the king of the North. The king of the North will attack with chariots, soldiers on horses, and many large ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through their lands like a flood.⁴¹ The king of the North will attack the beautiful land of Judah (the real name for the nation called "Israel" today). He will defeat many countries, but Edom, Moab, and the leaders of Ammon will be saved from him.⁴² The king of the North will show his power in many countries; Egypt will not escape.⁴³ The king will get treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt. The Libyan and Nubian people will obey him.⁴⁴ But the king of the North will hear news from the east and the north  (Russia) that will make him afraid and angry. He will go to destroy completely many nations.⁴⁵ He will set up his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful mountain where the holy Temple (Jerusalem) is built. But, finally, his end will come, and no one will help him.  New Century Version.

Italian borrowing costs reached breaking point on Wednesday after Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's insistence on elections instead of an interim government opened the way to prolonged instability and delays to economic reform.

Italian 10-year bond yields shot above the 7 percent level that is widely deemed unsustainable, reflecting investors' concerns that they may not get their money back and prompting German Chancellor Angela Merkel to issue a call to arms.

Merkel said Europe's plight was now so "unpleasant'' that deep structural reforms were needed quickly, warning the rest of the world would not wait.

"That will mean more Europe, not less Europe,'' she told a conference in Berlin.

She called for changes in EU treaties after French President Nicolas Sarkozy advocated a two-speed Europe in which euro zone countries accelerate and deepen integration while an expanding group outside the currency bloc stayed more loosely connected — a signal that some members may have to quit the euro if the entire structure is not to crumble.

Merkel Calls for 'Breakthrough to a New Europe'

"It is time for a breakthrough to a new Europe,'' Merkel said. "A community that says, regardless of what happens in the rest of the world, that it can never again change its ground rules, that community simply can't survive.''

A senior EU official said changing the make-up of the euro zone has been discussed on an "intellectual" level but had not moved to operational or technical discussions, while a French government source said there was no such project in the works.

Such steps are also opposed by many EU countries, whose backing would be needed for any adjustments to the bloc's treaties, making them anything but a done deal.

"This will unravel everything our forebears have painstakingly built up and repudiate all that they stood for in the past sixty years," one EU diplomat told Reuters. "This is not about a two-speed Europe, we already have that. This will redraw the map geopolitically and give rise to new tensions. It could truly be the end of Europe as we know it."

Nonetheless, the Franco-German motor has generally been the driving force in steps forward for European integration.

A Taboo Broken at G20

As Treasury officials worked through the night to soften the impact on Britain, David Cameron warned that the single European currency was facing its “moment of truth”.

Business Secretary Vince Cable went further and spoke about “Armageddon” while Brussels officials warned that the chaos threatened to plunge us all into a new recession.   MORE>>>>>>

The Vatican confirmed their conspiratorial role in the marxist-socialist totalitarian takeover of the sovereign Nations of the world this week by issuing a statement calling for marxist "social justice" and a one world government administered by the scam known as the United Nations over all the economies of the world.

There is no doubt that these new world order overlords are conspiring right now to enslave every man, woman and child on the planet in their hellish control grid. From NewsMax:

CATAWBA, N.C. — Former NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield, barred from the association since 2009 for a failed drug test, was arrested at his western North Carolina home and charged with possession of methamphetamine, and police said Wednesday he might face more charges.

Mayfield was arrested Tuesday night and charged possessing 1.5 grams of meth, according to records from the Catawba County Sheriff's Office. The 42-year-old Mayfield posted $3,000 bond and was scheduled to appear in district court Wednesday. A call to the clerk's office in Newton was not immediately returned Wednesday.

Detectives from neighboring Lincoln County said roughly $100,000 worth of items that belonged to businesses in that county also were found at Mayfield's home, and they plan to charge him with possession of stolen goods.

The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office says Mayfield had heavy equipment parts, welders and welding accessories, truck parts, an engraving machine and other items that they say were reported stolen from two businesses in late 2010 and early 2011.

An attorney for Mayfield said his client denies all the charges, and the search was executed based on "baseless allegations by an unreliable source."

"Mr. Mayfield has no knowledge of either stolen property or methamphetamine being present on his property and denies the accusation that he was in possession of methamphetamine or any other illegal drug and he denies any suggestion that he knowingly received or possessed stolen property," said Daniel Marino, a Washington, D.C.-based attorney.

"Mr. Mayfield and his attorneys are cooperating with the authorities and they look forward to this matter being resolved quickly. In the meantime, Mr. Mayfield asks that the public reserve its judgment on this matter."

Police officers and their radar guns can only catch one speeder at a time. Speed cameras are in the same boat, though they can photograph more than an officer handing out tickets. But both of these methods may soon step aside for a new device is that can track more than 30 cars at  the same time.

Cordon, a program developed by Peak Gain Systems, can monitor the speed and license plates of traffic that’s coming and going spanning across four lanes. And, according to Gizmodo, it can see this information for up to 32 cars at the same time.
