EU transport ministers okay Galileo satellite tracking system

BRUSSELS (AFP) Dec 10, 2004

EU transport ministers gave final approval Friday to build and deploy the Galileo satellite navigation system with the aim of starting operations in 2008, the European Commission announced.

The satellite network will complement the US Global Position System, which was originally developed for military targeting and position finding. The European system was the first to be designed for purely civilian use.

The United States and the EU signed an agreement in Ireland June 26 to adopt common operating standards for the two systems.

Friday's decision was to build and launch satellites and build ground receiving stations following a three-year design and development phase, costing 1.1 billion euros (1.45 billion dollars).

Deploying the Galileo system will cost a further 2.1 billion eurosbillion dollars), with industry putting up two thirds of the investment and the commission one third.

The commission says the globe-girdling satellites will enable the development of new services in areas such as transport, the environment, agriculture and fisheries that are eventually expected to cover the running costs of the system, estimated at 220 million euros (290 million dollars).

Two consortia are fighting to obtain the contract to operate the system, and ministers were expected to decide on the winner by February next year. The Eurely alliance includes Alcatel, Finmeccanica and Vinci, while the iNavsat consortium comprises Thales, EADS and Inmarsat.

Jacques Barrot, a European Commission vice president, said Galileo was "without a doubt the most wonderful European technological project. We are now on the home straight."

He predicted it would be as great a technological revolution as mobile telephony.

"This venture shows how capable Europe is of making a united effort in pursuit of a common goal," he said.

European law already requires or envisages the use of satellite navigation to monitor shipping, operate electronic road toll systems and protect animals during transportation.

Stage Set 2010?

Friends, I believe the stage may be set for the events of the seventieth week foretold by Daniel the prophet. In the Old Testament book of Daniel we read:

And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate (Daniel 9:27 New America Standard Bible).

It is commonly believed the passage above foretells the rise of a strong leader from out of a revived Roman Empire who will make a seven-year covenant with Israel, which he will violate 3 1/2 years later. In other passages from Daniel, we learn this leader will rise from among a 10-nation alliance (Daniel 7:7-8). And, in the New Testament book of Revelation, we learn he will somehow be connected to the number 666 (Revelation 13: 18).

This appears to be exactly what we're seeing. As I've been reporting, a 10-nation alliance did appear on January 1, 1995. It's a 10-nation military alliance known as the Western European Union (WEU). These nations are members of both NATO and the European Union (EU). What binds these 10 nations together is their mutual defense obligation under the modified Brussels Treaty. They are also known as the Brussels Treaty Powers.

In December of 1998, at their Vienna summit, the EU's heads created the new Office of High Representative of Common Foreign and Security Policy for the European Union. The holder of this Office would be empowered by the member states to direct their common foreign policy toward Russia, Ukraine and the Mediterranean. The legal document that created this office was numbered 666.

In November 1999, Javier Solana, the former head of NATO, became the first person to hold this powerful new position. He was also made Secretary General of the Council of Europe. This is the main decision making body of the EU. The following month, Solana also became the Secretary General of the 10-nation WEU alliance. These three positions made Solana a very powerful new player on the world scene.

On June 5, 2000, the WEU adopted its Assembly Recommendation 666. The following month France, one of the 10 WEU nations, took over the EU's six month rotating presidency. It was immediately announced that the Assembly of the WEU would become the temporary assembly for the EU's new 10-nation military wing. Keep in mind, this is the same body that adopted Recommendation 666.

The infamous Solana Decision soon followed. This decision removed from public view all documents that the Council (Solana) thought should be kept secret. This move was interpreted by some to be a military coup. Looking back, it's obvious to me that's what may have occurred -- a 10-nation takeover of the EU. And, it was done implementing Recommendation 666.

These were amazing events and I detail them all in my book. And, also in my book, I often state that if these events were what I though they were -- fulfillments of Bible prophecy -- then they would lead to a seven-year agreement with Israel. Well, that may be exactly what we're now seeing.

You see, the EU's new constitution, combined with the EU's Neighborhood Policy (ENP) and the seven-year European Neighborhood Policy and Instrument (ENPI), may set the stage perfectly for the events of the seventieth week.

Unlike the US who's military is the primary weapon in the war against terror, the EU's primary weapon is economic. Solana's European Neigborhood Policy (ENP) is the EU's way of exercising its influence and is part of Solana's new security doctrine. It is primarily aimed at Russia, Ukraine and the Mediterranean. The ENP is a huge package of different types of deals for each participating nation. It also includes tailored action plans for each country and a monitoring program. And, these many deals and plans have different terms.

Here's where the seven-year element comes in. The EU has a seven-year budget term. So, Solana has been tasked with drawing up a new funding instrument for his ENP that will take over when the EU's new term begins on January 1, 2007. This new instrument is called the European Neighborhood Instrument (ENPI). It is basically Solana's new budget when he becomes super Foreign Minister and Commission Vice President. It's goal is to finance Solana's foreign policy objectives. Starting on January 1, 2007, the ENPI will begin funding all the action plans and deals for all these many nations. The long-term plans will be up to seven years. Again, there will be monitoring and reporting mid-term. A total review is to be completed by December 31, 2011. It's a covenant with many. And, it's for seven-years.

Besides the extended powers provided Solana -- powers that will rival the new EU Presidency -- the Constitution of Rome sets a Headline Goal of 2010 for all Solana's civilian and military peace-keeping/peace-making capabilities to be deployable. These broad-ranging assets including 9 battle groups, heavy lift aircraft, aircraft carrier, satellite communications and much more.

Here's the way I see it: Beginning on January 1, 2007, Solana will have a huge expense account with which he can implement his ENP foreign and security policy for seven years. And, it's not hard to see how Solana's covenant with many could easily fall apart. If so, it's also not hard to see how Solana's emergency powers could be evoked 3 1/2 years later in 2010 when all his civilian and military capabilities are in place. And, this could lead to the the final events of this age that are described in both Daniel and Revelation.

Friends, the stage may be set for the seventieth week of Daniel.

Are you walking with Jesus yet?

Hi Deaf Canada,

Thanks for the kind words. No, the stuff I'm posting isn't seen or heard very much at all on radio or on tv. In fact, I don't even trust the news media. They may report something that relates every now and then, but it's more accidental if anything, mainly because they don't have a clue as to what they are really seeing because they don't know scripture. They are totally in the dark.

The date of 1 Jan, 2007 is only a possibility, as far as the confirming of the covenant goes, but I sure wouldn't bank on it just yet. We really need to exercise patients in this area as we keep watch because we don't want to jump to any wrong conclusions. But I think having a flexible opinion about such things is good because everything is not always what it appears to be, and it helps to quickly adapt to rapidly changing events without losing sight of what the scriptures say. These events seem to be happening now at a very much faster pace than just a few years ago, and sometimes it is very difficult to keep up.

Wow! I think it's great that you are able to help other deaf people learn about these last days. You probably have been anointed to do this! May the good Lord bless you richly!

Hi there

Thanks for your comments.

Yeah I do believe that they dont notice at all as they just not follow or not care about it. as they are very much in the dark and dont notice anything.

as we have to watch for the news etc and help us to be ready for the Day of the Lord coming very soon

I appreciate that

Thanks

EU, Israel agree on plan to forge closer ties

Press Trust of India

Brussels, December 14

Israel and the European Union (EU) have agreed on plans to forge closer ties on issues ranging from fighting terrorism to promoting free trade as part of the EU's efforts to strengthen relations with neighbouring countries.

Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom on Monday said the deal would bring "real and tangible benefits" to trade and political links.

Shalom and Dutch Foreign Minister Ben Bot, whose country holds the rotating EU presidency, agreed to the new plan during a regular meeting of their association council.

Shalom said that despite many disagreements in the past, EU and Israel were working more closely in fighting terrorism, and reiterated calls for the EU to place the Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah on its terrorist blacklist.

Relations between the 25-nation bloc and Israel had been strained in recent years over how to bring peace to the Middle East.

But Javier Solana, the EU's foreign policy chief, said relations had improved.

"The atmosphere has changed," Solana said. "Let's hope that it will bring better relations between Israel and the EU."

Israel was the first country to sign up to the EU's new 'European Neighbourhood' policy. The project seeks to improve ties with Moldova, Ukraine, Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

The bilateral deals are aimed at making Europe more secure by bringing stability and prosperity to volatile regions near its borders.

Ricketts: Opportunity for Israel to join NATO

By JPOST.COM STAFF

Participants at the fifth Annual Herzliya Conference of the Institute for Diplomacy and Strategy discussed the possibility of Israel joining NATO, noting that if Israel were to join the European organization, it would be a strategic boon to the country.

British Ambassador to NATO, Sir Peter Ricketts, said that an opportunity for Israel to join NATO has been opened, dependant on a peace agreement with the Palestinian Authority.

"Israel must understand that the initiative must come from its own side. However, I do not see it as a possibility that Israel will be accepted into NATO until it resolves the conflict with the Palestinians," Ricketts said.

Israel must work step by step, the UK ambassador to NATO emphasized, and it would be jumping the gun at this to discuss joining the European organization. Ricketts added that Israel's tight ties with the United States will not hinder it from developing closer relations with the European community as well.

Solana Gets His Turkey

The way I see it, we've got to see this news about Turkey and the EU in the light of a short time frame (Read about it here)>>>> http://euobserver.com/?sid=9&aid=18033

If the prophecies are coming down, they will be coming down in faster and faster sequence. These accession talks will take years. Friends, I don't think we have years.

It's interesting how French president Chirac and German Chancellor Schroeder, at the last minute, suddenly change their mind. If you recall, both were against admitting Turkey into the EU. And, most of the French and German people are against allowing Turkey in. So, what happened to change the mind of these two leaders?

I think the answer is Javier Solana. You see, France and Germany are members of Solana's 10-nation alliance. And, if you've been following my commentaries, you know I think something may be going on with certain anti-American countries within the EU (Read about it here)>>>> http://www.iht.com/articles/2004/12/17/news/globalist.html

If the Bible predicts a 10-nation led revival of the Roman Empire, as I think it does, then it may shed light on why these two European leaders suddenly changed their mind about Turkey. As long as they're all talking turkey, the EU will be able to influence Turkey's policies away from America and toward Europe.

But, like I said before, we may have a short time frame. I suspect Turkey will never actually become a full member of the EU.

In the mean time, Solana gets his Turkey.

Solana Gets His Turkey

..... And, most of the French and German people are against allowing Turkey in. So, what happened to change the mind of these two leaders?

I think the answer is Javier Solana.

could be....

but, keep in mind- at the end of the age, great delusion will be rampant- -

in that even the elect could be deceived.....

isn't Turkey the remnant of the Ottoman Empire?

wasn't Turkey and Nazi Germany in concert in some plots/plans?

Turkey as a 'westernized' Muslim-Islamic State must? be welcomed by EU

(if only as a diplomatic ploy) ASAP 2005?

your posts/information + sources arewelcomed & eagerly received,

thank-you.....s/victoras
