This guy is the blue-ringed octopus. It likes to hang out in tidal pools in Australia, and has some of the scariest venom present on Earth. It’s capable of camouflage, like most other octopi, chilling out in disguise and waiting for passing shrimp to eat. It’s generally a pretty docile creature, only stinging humans when they, say, don’t see it because it’s bloody camouflaged and step on it. It’s beak is strong enough to pierce a wetsuit, and it has the most potent venom of any of its kind. It doesn’t just kill you – that would be too merciful. First it blinds you, kills your ability to speak and swallow, renders you numb, and then paralyzes you utterly, sending you into respiratory arrest. Note that nowhere in this list of symptoms is unconsciousness. You’re left perfectly awake and aware, trapped in the frozen, senseless prison of your body, unable to scream, move or breathe. There is no known antidote; the only way to survive a blue-ring sting is through artificial respiration. The venom dissipates in 24 hours, and if you receive breathing assistance all through this period, you’ll be able to walk away with no lingering damage. Except for the nightmares that will now define your newly sleepless nights.
It is basically a normal octopus, except it does lots of things other octopuses don’t do, like living close to the surface in the open sea. Or like secreting a paper-thin eggshell that is not in any way a cepahopod shell like the Nautilus‘, since the females can leave and reenter the shell, which is not attached to the body(the males don’t secrete these shells, they prefer to watch sports and drink beer, that’s why they rarely grow larger than 2cm, as opposed to the 10cm body, 30cm shell sized females). They hold it with two of their arms instead.
is not a plant.

It’s a fish with a transparent head. It’s eyes are those green things pointing straight up underneath it’s clear head, so stuff doesn’t get in them.

Fossils of Hallucigenia leave no obvious indication of its head end, and it seems to have pairs of long spines on one side but just a single row of softer limbs on the other. Early fossils also had a large, featureless knob at one end of the body. This led its discoverer to reconstruct it like this.
And if we’re going to talk prehistoric organisms, there’s no age like the Cambrian age! Before the dinosaurs, before the giant amphibians, before any vertebrates or terrestrial animals at all, the world was home only to sea-dwelling invertebrates, many of which have no modern equivalent. For millions of years, Anomalocaris may have been the largest predator in the world at roughly one meter in length. The T-rex of “bugs.”

This strange fish was caught in Asia, THERE IS SOME STRANGE STUFF DOWN THERE
“Wolf trap” anglerfish are probably my favorite group of fish, and in my opinion, the very strangest looking. They have huge, protruding upper jaws that close lengthwise, like the leaves of a venus fly trap or the covers of a book. once the prey is encaged in this manner, it opens the smaller lower jaw to suck it inside.
That is the Black Dragonfish. It’s a voracious deep-sea hunter.
Pinchy the land-loving lobster. These things are very weird. They bust open coconuts with their big claws. Yes, they get enormous, and they live on land, all the time. I saw one in a pet shop in San Diego about 10 years ago. It was about a foot long. There was a large sign that exclaimed, “DANGEROUS! DO NOT PUT HANDS OR FINGERS IN CAGE!” Yeah, no shit. A friend told me that these are eaten in the Philippines, since the Coconut Crab’s diet of coconuts makes their crabmeat extra sweet. Yum!

The Goliath Spider
The largest known spider in the world (note the disturbing italics), the Goliath spider is commonly found in the jungles of South America, and have a 30 centimeter legspan. They can move with disturbing speed, and will fucking hiss at you when pissed. These spiders can defend themselves by biting, or by kicking sharp hairs towards their perceived assailant. These hairs can be severely irritating to the skin and lungs, and have been reported to feel like shards of fiberglass. Their bite is not generally considered dangerous, but I defy you to look down and see one of these things attached to your leg by the fangs, staring up at you with eight black, soulless eyes and ever sleep again.
Banana Spiders.
A fucking mondo spider named for delicious yellow fruit.
These things are EVERYWHERE in Florida. And for persons such as myself who are abso-fucking-lutely terrified of spiders, banana spiders Are scary. Any arachnophobias who so much as steps into a wooded area of Florida is %132456 to walk right into one of these rainbow demons. And when you suddenly become entangled in the strongest fiber on Earth and have a murderous spiky spider the size of your head running on your face making it worse, you will shit fear.

THE GOD MAKES SOME AMAZING CREATURES
BLACK BLOCKED PORCUPINE FISH
“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years” (1:14)
An apparent endorsement of astrology,
God places the sun, moon, and stars in the firmament so that they can be used ”for signs”.
Abraham was born in the city of Ur in Babylonia in the year 1948 from Creation (circa 1800 BCE). He was the son of Terach, an idol merchant.
The night before Abram was born, King Nimrod’s astrologers were gathered at Terah’s house. Looking out into the night sky, they read in the constellation of the stars that the newly born child was to become the chief and the father of a mighty nation.
From his early childhood, Abraham questioned the faith of his father and sought the truth. He came to believe that the entire universe was the work of a single Creator GOD and he began to teach this belief to others.
Abram had watched the sun and the moon and the stars coming and going, each in its own time. He had noticed the sun giving way to the moon, despite its apparent divine power, and the moon giving place to the sun in the morning.
And so Abraham reasoned that there must be a power above and beyond all the visible forces of nature, an entity Who had created them, and Who regulated and controlled them at all times. Behind the limited power of all nature, young Abraham perceived the unlimited and timeless existence of God.
Then GOD made Himself known to Abraham and taught him the right way of living.
And He took him outside and said, “Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”Genesis Chp 15/5.
It is known that our forefather Abraham’s knowledge of astrology attracted all the kings of East and West to consult with him daily. Abraham was first the most competent astrologer, at that time that God let him to live under the zodiacal system. On page 83 of Josephus_ Antiquities 1:166-168, it is written “ The Egyptians were addicted to a variety of different customs and disparaged one another’s practices and were consequently at enmity with one another, Abraham conferred with each party and, exposing the arguments which they adduced in favour of their particular views, demonstrated that they were idle and contained nothing true. Thus gaining their admiration at these meetings as a man of extreme sagacity, gifted not only with high intelligence but with power to convince his hearers on any subject which he undertook to teach, he introduced them to arithmetic and transmitted to them the laws of astronomy. For before the coming of Abraham the Egyptians were ignorant of these sciences, which thus traveled from the Chaldaeans into Egypt, whence they passed to the Greeks.”
Abraham foresaw in the stars that he should not have any descendants, but GOD said to Abraham, saying you shell not look it too the wisdom of the stars, but in to the secrete wisdom of my name, there you will find out the future.
Abraham left the influence of the stars, since he become blessed to be above the zodiac impact. Abraham the Astrologer foresaw in the stars that he should not have any sons in his destiny, Abraham told God what he predicted about his descendants, than God took him out and told Abraham look at the stars and try to count them, as much stars are in the sky as much will be your descendants, from now you (Abraham) are above the influence of the zodiac system.
When God revealed Himself to Abraham, one of the first things that He told him was that his fate, and that of his descendants, transcended the influence of the constellations.Therefore, Abraham should not be concerned with astrological predictions.
Abraham was called the Ivri (lit. “the transcendent one”), as he was the first to be able to go beyond the astrological influence transcending and directing it.
God taught Abraham the secrets of His Divine names, and how to manipulate the Alf Bet characters, since that point in time, Abraham was a prophet receiving his knowledge as a direct communication with the God, By knowing the Lord names secrets and powers, strength and might and how to work with these. He was given permission.
Abraham the books “Safer Yetzera” “The Book of Creation”, this book outlines the influence not only of the stars and the constellations familiar to Western Astrology. In the book also is a way to be a partner with God in the work of the providence of creation, by influencing astrology its self. The forces it bestows. This book is written like a book of codes, and those codes are the secrets of the time and space, all the hidden secrets of the universe.
How ever although Abraham changed his way ( since he was not under the influence of the zodiacal system), a great respect to Astrology still remains..
To understand the power of the stars properly, we should explore them from the Torah’s perspective. The Hebrew word mazal refers to the unique spiritual forces that influence natural phenomena great and small.
Our Sages teach, ”There is no blade of grass in the world below that does not have a spiritual life-force (mazal) above striking it and telling it to grow”. Another definition of mazal is constellation, or more specifically, the spiritual influences associated with the signs of the Zodiac.
Though Abraham was expert in astrology and used it to determine that he was destined to remain childless. God, however, had other plans, and blessed him with offspring as numerous as the sand and.. ..stars!. Thus instead of Abraham conforming to his mazal (astrological influence), G- d made his mazal conform to him. God channeled higher energies to him through visiting him on Passover, sending him to the Holy Land, and changing his name.
Changes in time, space, and soul affect one’s mazal. Weddings are often set for Tuesday, a day of good mazal. Also, when people move into a new home, the traditional blessing is “when you change your residency, you change your mazal, for good and blessing” To improve their mazal, seriously ill people will add a name.
None of this is superstitious, idolatrous, or occult. All those things are both foolish and forbidden by Torah. What we are doing is acknowledging that spiritual forces are at the beck and call of the Creator just as physical forces are. The god has his ways in which he has set his world to function and it is good to know them.
God places the sun, moon, and stars in the firmament so that they can be used ”for signs”
The Bible is full of this
There are influences also of sub categories of time as day, the 50th Jubilee year, 7th Sabbath year, years, months, weeks, hours. All connected with time revolves around one concept yhv’h, which has 12 permutations. The 12 Borders are its 12 permutations, 12 hours day and night, 12 months. 12 “simple letters”. At the 4 equanox of the year a sound arises from the 4 corners of the world through which the other side is stirred up. It also blocks the flow of light from on high. This is because the voice above cannot meet the voice below. As the left side come between the 2. This interposing sound is that of war, evil forces. Only Yushua ben Nun (Joshua) could hear this sound as it comes from the evil power that blemishes the moon. Yoshua was from the aspect of the moon so could hear it, while Moses was from the sun so he couldn’t.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE SPIRITUAL MASTER WHO DID
THE WORK IN THE STORY THAT FOLLOWS.
THIS IS TRANSLATED FROM MY TEACHER’S TEACHER’S BOOK “MINCHAT YEHUDAH”- THIS DESCRIBES HIS WORK SAVING PEOPLE’S LIVES AND SAVING SOULS FROM PERIL.
In the year 1915 (5675) on the 15th of Ellul there came to me a young girl 17 years old named Katan Bat Azizah. She told me she was a orphan as her father had died. A year before her mother went to Persia to visit her brother there, as he was ill. She left me, my younger brother and sister with our aunt. My mom’s sister. She was angry very much consumed in anger and regrets. Katan found it difficult to handle her aunt’s anger and curses. She wanted to leave the house for good. As she was so troubled by her. To add to my troubles in Ellul after Shabot I cried and wailed on my bed with all my body concerning my bad fortune. Then all of a sudden I felt like a giant cat had fell between my shoulders, like a great cut had entered my flesh. After it felt as if it had entered my left arm. My arm became very heavy. To the point I was no longer able to move it. From that day my arm only hung down. I trembled at times and my eyes rolled up and down. My feet would move from side to side. At times I would walk back and forth and back and forth. When I layed down on my bed I was not able to sleep as I heard the sound of a hammer striking. When my mother returned we went together to a Arab mystic. After going to him many times he told us that I have a very strong demon within me. He tried but was unable to remove it from me. After this I want to the grave of Yuhoshua the Cohen Gadol (High priest) and prayed there a lot. I began to tremble greatly. I saw a man of great honor, dressed in white. I was unable to speak with my mouth. He stood about 4 feet from me he did not speak. Katan cried over her life, and the shattered heart in her midst.
To bring mercy upon her I did “yichudim” (meditations of Divine names) upon the spirit. The spirit then began to express thoughts in speech and screaming. The spirit said that she was a harlot. I asked her name. She did not want to say. After many times doing the yichudim on the 19th of kislev she finally said her name was Rosa. She told me that in the time she was dying the demon Lilly came to her. This caused her soul to be troubled very much. She said my soul wanted to escape from my body, before lilly could come close. Lilly put a sword to my throat. By this there went out my soul from my body. There then came to my soul 5 angels of rage. They stood by my head and asked “what is your name ?”. They had come to strike my body to purify it for 3 days and nights with rods of fire. Then there came another angel who I remember also appeared as a angel of rage. It was He who took my soul from its grave and struck it with a big hit, by this striking my soul was propelled in the “kaf hakeleh” (hallow of the sling) thrown until it reached the entrance of the supernal court in the firmament. I stood there naked as the day I was born. 2 angels came out from the supernal court. They gave me a shirt that was black and white, and another garment to cover below my waist. Then I was brought before the court. It was a court of 3 judges. The greatest of them sat in the middle. Their faces shinned as great as the sun. The court asked me what is the name of your father and mother. I did not want to answer them. Then the officers of the court struck me with lashes of remembrance, until I could endure no more. The first blow made me feel like a spark from a fire. The 2nd blow made me as a burning coal and the 3rd made me as dust. Then the court enlivened me and I told them my father and mother’s name. It was made known to me I had been incarnated in a man living in Basra (Iraq). He was evil and wicked and did not resist any lust and abomination he could do. In the end of his days he changed his religion and became a Muslem. After He died he was made into a evil spirit that entered into the body of a woman. All is revealed before the supernal court, even all that is hidden in one’s heart. There is nothing that is concealed from them.After they gave me a document, it was not like a document of this world. I opened it and it spoke to me. I read in it and I could speak to them. But I did not know what to say. The first judgement concerns the learning of Torah. This is seen by the one who is given the document but they are unable to read it. They are then asked why they did not learn Torah. According to one’s preparation from learning of Torah they are they able to read their “document” given to them by the Supernal court. In this “document” is listed all of one’s transgressions and abominations that they did while they were alive. You do not want to have to trouble the Court to have them read it to you !. The court will tell you what is not written there. Atonement comes from the embarrassment you will feel, if they have to read it to you. I told them that I has sex with some one man I was not married to. They asked me how many times during the 5 years of the relationship I did have sex. I said I did not know for certain 50 or 60 times. The head judge of the court answered and said it was 100 times. I explained to them I had done these things because it was the way I thought. They told me not to speak. To say nothing else. Then for 100 years I had to go with the angels of rage where ever they commanded me to walk. They warned me not to disobey, and not to change what they said. Then they returned me to the Supernal court to receive my judgement. They had me swear in the Great Name that I would not transgress upon what they say. They called 4 angels of rage and said these shall be over (in charge of you). One on each of the 4 sides (of the world). Then the angels took me to a scary desert full of snakes, scorpions, dogs and evil beasts of many different kinds. They were all spiritual (entities). All souls who pass this way tremble. In the desert I was given 27 lashes a day. They walked me in another desert which no eye has seen. I did not know how to walk there alone. They ruled that I had to chop wood. I was brought to another court. It was in the lower half of the Supernal firmament. In this court are ministers who are in charge of punishment. To then was given my accounting. The ministers in this 2nd court are different than those in the first. They made judgment concerning my punishment. Then they gave me to 4 angels of rage. They took me to the desert again and gave me 17 lashes every night. When I chopped wood it was like chopping my own flesh. The wood there is not like the wood of this world. All the time I was chopping wood it was opening up the flesh in my shoulder. If I ran out of wood I was under order of the supernal court to go back in to the desert and get more. The wood I cut I had to return to the court to burn. The angels of rage went with me. Each year after I finished my sentence of wood cutting as ordered by the Supernal court of the firmament. I then entered the 2nd court. There is a 3rd court in the atmosphere below the firmament where there is written the document as the years passed of my punishment, how many years were left for me. Any who come to this Supernal court have punishment and lashes. In all the days of the week these souls have no rest. Except on the 6th day of the week at the 6th hour. At that time we are bound in chains and there stands around us angels of rage who guard us till after the Sabbath has concluded. There are also winged angels who sit and tell each other concerning the works of the wicked. Their evil guile they worked while they are alive and the punishments that the supernal court has ruled upon them. Even on the Sabbath we have no joy. As then we remember our suffering that we endured during the past week, and we think about the punishments and suffering that are about to come upon us in the future as soon as the Sabbath is over. We feel a little relief when the Kadish (prayer for the dead) is said for us, but few know how to say it. All the souls here are naked as in the day they were born. Everywhere I look I see groups of souls who transgressed sexually. God does not embarrass the wicked before each other. There is a separate place for those who transgressed different transgressions. I was punished for my sexual activity. I do not know what is done in other places. Those here who are chained to dogs are incarnated next time as a dog. It was ruled concerning me that I should be in the place of evil beasts. After that I was sent for 7 years to swim at the beach. For 2 years I had to hover over the graves of the city where I was born Bagdad. Hovering over the graves of the dead is the worse suffering, as there rises up guilt and regrets. I saw my soul hovering over a grave screaming in a great voice. I was suffering greatly from the evil scent. It was ruled upon me that I had to fly in the atmosphere of the firmament at a hight of 40 years from the earth. Only to this height are the spirits flying above the earth. It is at this height that we receive judgment from the supernal court that is in the firmiment. When hovering over graves or the sea this is at a distance of 2 or 3 stories above the earth. We don’t have to strength to rise above to the next firmament. Height more than this is not ruled for us. If we were to go higher we would be burned by the fire of the firmiment. As we are not refined enough to go up to the higher level. It is ruled upon us that we must float around in the cities where we used to live. This troubles the spirit very much. When the angels of rage want to increase the burden of our yolk they rule that we must go to distant cities, this is much worse. Even if we are always running away from our angels of rage we can not get any further away than the limits to which they bind us with. If we try to they hit us with out holding back with the lashes of remembrance as prescribed by the supernal court, but not any more than that. The angels of rage do not have permission to stop us from doing evil. Such as damaging a man, or entering into him so to escape their lashes. Unless the supernal court has specifically ruled so.
If we do enter into a man or women. When the time comes that we are obligated to bring our wood to the supernal court to burn before them. Then administrator over the spirit takes it out by force from the animal or human whose body they have occupied. So to bring it to the supernal court. There it is burn and lashed. After he goes back to the animal or person. To us this offers no benefit, except escaping the lashes of the angels of rage.
The yichudim (meditations on the Divine names) causes more pain to the spirits than the lashes of the angels of rage, or the purification of the grave. The lashes from the angels of rage do not fix the souls, but the yichudim do.
I Rosa was only able to tell you all this because of the yichudim which I was unable to bare. So I had to answer your questions.
Rosa said when one has done many sins and evil they make their soul blemished and impure, by causing the negative forces to dress upon it. By this they can cause their soul to also parish from the world to come.
Rabbi Yuhudah said he was shown in a dream that a spirit came to rest upon the leg of a certain men for 14 years. The spirit could do no harm to the man as he was always involved in Torah and acts of kindness. He did not even feel the spirits presence. It could not overpower him in his head. He did a act of great Holiness. The spirit could not handle the great Holiness and was forced to flee from him. Leaving his body completely. After the Spirit was gone I tested Rosa asked her to tell me where on the man the spirit used to be. She showed me just like like I had seen in the dream. In the right leg.
On the night of the 7th of Tevet the Girl Katan and her mother were in my room. I commanded Rosa to go to the supernal court at 11at night, and she did. Katan went to sleep. Then I came to see whether Rosa had went to the supernal court, or was she still in the girl ?. I called Rosa .. Rosa. I received not reply from her, but I heard another voice. It said Yitzchak Raima, Yitzchak Raima. I did not understand what connection Yitzchak Raima had to do with Rosa. I called to Rosa saying I will escort you to the supernal court. Then a voice said I am Yitzchak Raima. I with 2 other beloved companions shall escort Rosa. There will be no time she will be left alone. I asked “how can you speak to me from the mouth of this girl?” Do you enter into her throat like a spirit does ?. He answered me saying
“Not like that. I push and cleave myself to the body of Rosa. I prepare my power in her limbs. I move them like working a telegraph line As we do not have permission to enter her body ”.
The angels of rage escorting Rosa were Issac Raima , to her left is Salach ben Rachmah. To her right is Sasson ben Rivkah. Hillel Ben Sarach died and has come to guard Rosa with us. While Sasson be Rivkah has now been made to watch Salach Ben Yosef Yitzchak. Salach Ben Yosef Yitzchak had a sickness involving his eyes for months. I asked and was told that there was a man in Bagdad named Salach Ben Yosef Yitzchak who had a sickness involving his eyes and had died. Salach then came to watch over Yosef. Salach said Yitzchak is better then I, but I am more good then Sasson. I asked Salach if he knew how to learn Torah. He said he did not even know the alphabet. He said “I have no desire to hear words of Torah”. I asked Salach if each one of them had a wife. He said “No, there are very few women here. One women for every 8 men. Most men are not married. Myself Yitzchak and Sasson are not married. Angels of rage do not have the human desire for sex. Our only desire is to run after men and hit them. It is only in this thing that we find delight. With us, fathers and mothers do not love their children, and children do not love their parents. All the time we do recognize our father and mother but we have no connection with them ”
All my speaking with Yitzchak Raima was before Rosa came back from the supernal court. I saw her move her head a couple times, and then open her eyes. I asked her what the supernal court said. She told me she only has a few years left. I asked her it in the world above if there is a difference between day and night. She said that the difference is in the color of the light. The night is Tachalet (sky blue), and the light of the day is white. She said the hours of the day and night are like in this world. I asked Rosa about the length and width of the courtyard of the supernal court. She said it was huge, as big as the city of Bagdad. It is full of many rooms. Each as large as the room we are in. The supernal court is 3 floors high, each is full of many rooms. On the first floor a man is judged for the most severe transgressions he has done. There is given to him there his ruling concerning his sin. After its punishment has been carried out, he must return to the supernal court. This time he goes to the court’s second floor where he is judged for less severe transgressions.They judge him there and rule punishment upon him. After its punishment has been fulfilled. He must return again this to the third floor where where he will be judged for the lightest of his transgressions and then is sent to receive their punishment. After all of this, after all his punishments have been completed then the soul must appear before the scribe of the court who will inspect the soul very closely. It is He who will then rule upon the soul whither it will be incarnated as a stone, plant, animal or a man. Whether it will go to hell. All is according to the judgment of this scribe.
Rosa said the garments worn in the upper supernal court are like the garments the priests wear in the Holy Temple. The spirits don’t sleep day or night. The spirits hear when they are called, when their time has come to go to the supernal court. On the 12th of Tevet Rosa Rose up to the firmament of the Bait Din. After she returned she said to me that the Supernal court called one angel, he is appointed to dress those who are naked. To go before the Supernal court one is given white pants, white shirt a white robe with green trim and wool head covering that covers until the forehead. These garments are not like garments of this world, as they are real fine fitting right unto one’s body. I was commanded by the supernal court that as of the night of the 17th of Tevet at the 7th and one half hour of the night to come back then to the Supernal court in the firmament with my guard Yitzchak Raima and then I would be judged on the rest of my actions. I was told that from that point on I should never return to the body of Katan. They warned me not to injure her on going out. I swore to them that I would not injure her on leaving. The Supernal court blessed you Rabbi Yuhuda for the difficult work that you have done. But they did not call you by the name Rabbi Yuhuda but by a different name. It was a bizarre name so I cannot remember it. It was very hard to pronounce. After putting on the garment my guard Salach was no longer with me in his place was Yizchak. He stood at my side on the night of the 17th to walk me to the Supernal court of the firmament. That night I walked katan to the synagogue where wise holy men stay up all night and learn Torah. At midnight we all learned in the merit of the soul of Rosa, and prayed that she should leave the young girl. I continued to do yichudim on her till Rosh Chodesh (New moon) of Svat. On Rosh Chodesh Svat she told me that she was no longer under the supervision of the Supernal court. As what could they do to me, as I no longer had left to me any sins for them to punish me. She said she did not want to leave the body of the young girl as when she does she will be then remembered by the Supernal court. I continued doing yichudim for Rosa till the 21 of Adar. Then she went with her mother to Persia to get married. I heard from people that were there at the wedding that the spirit had left her completely.

Its FRAUDULENT STOCK VENTURE! Read the link :
Each share is worth one whole penny! I am impressed!
About Kinti Holdings Group. We are a division of Kinti Mining Lmtd. that is publicly traded under ticker symbol (KMLD). Our corporation has 50 Million shares Authorized, issued and outstanding, with approximately 80% being held tight within the corporation and its friendly stakeholders.
Please visit our website (www.kintimining.webs.com) for our disclaimer and links to the “Temple Now Project” and Temple Institute.
( DS: with other words, they are worth US$ 500,000 , of which $400,000 are tightly held – at least that is what they claim, but they have defrauded investors in the past. And Kinti Holdings is only a DIVISION of this company ).
LEXINGTON, MISSISSIPPI–(Marketwire – 01/26/10) – Kinti Mining Limited’s (OTC.BB:KMLD – News) President, Richard Byrd, makes the following statement, “I wanted to take the time to discuss the lack of liquidity of our common stock. Currently Kinti Mining Lmtd. which trades on the grey sheets under ticker (KMLD), has only 50 million shares authorized, issued and outstanding. Of that, approximately 60% (30 Million shares) is held by our majority shareholder, Khangolov Resources Inc. Another estimated 20% (approximately 10 Million Shares) is held tight by corporate friendly shareholders. Due to the fact that we are not on the pink sheets, we do not have a dedicated market maker servicing the market in (KMLD) common stock. Thus our basic stock chart is extremely volatile. I plan to change that by filing a 15c2-11 very shortly and bringing Kinti Mining Lmtd to the “Current Information” status with Pink sheets.”
THIS is all imaginary: Khangalov Resources doesn’t even exists.

Yitro
In Deuteronomy it is written “ Yhv”h is a consuming fire ”. In this parsha we see some evidence of this as when Moses was to go up to mount Sinai, GOD had him tell the people not to touch the mountain, or go up upon it or gaze on GOD. We even see here the people asking Moshe to receive the revelation of the Torah for all Yisrael as they say “lest we die”
On Yom kippor a goat is given to the other side to appease and occupy it so that the accuser on high does not bring accusations against Yisrael thus allowing Yisrael to do well. The Torah also tells us that one should not go to extreme Holiness discarding all physical pleasures, at least for most people. We are told by our sages of blessed memory that one should always leave a little something to keep the evil inclination occupied and then it will leave them alone so they may succeed in their goal of serving GOD with their heart and all their soul. For as like with any animal, the “yetzer hora” (evil inclination), the animal soul will if backed into a corner will attack. For this reason we are told to leave something to keep it occupied, as we ascend into Holiness. This does not mean that we should, Heaven forbid, intentionally sin. But it means that by engaging in worldly matters we keep the animal soul occupied enough so that we can cleave to GOD, ever so close. This is much like we read in the Book of Job when the adversary appears before GOD on Rosh Hashanah. The Zohar tells us that as a dog is thrown a bone, so GOD threw Job to the adversary. By this preventing judgment from resting on Yisrael.
The point of this all being that one should always in all their ways cleave to GOD, but one must be aware as the Holy One is truly a consuming fire. One must approach at the proper pace. Now is a time that the lights are “closed”. During exile revelation of the Shechina from “yichud” (unification) guards and dresses the Shechina in fire. “GOD is a consuming fire”. One needs words of Torah that are like fire. As words of Torah are as fire that consumes all filth. The “Yetzer Hora” (evil inclination) is also fire, but the Torah is the fire that consumes fire.[1] The sitra achra (other side) can’t stand up to consuming fire, it becomes silenced and nullified to He Who formed them as a spark on the coal.[2] Yhv”h spoke to you face to face “out of the midst of fire” which was sent forth by wind and water. The fire, wind and water all came from the shofar at Sinai. It contained them all.[3]
Before Rabbi Nachman of Bresslov went to the land of Isreal he went through a great preparation as is necessary for any ascent into Holiness. As it says in the parsa “GOD took us out of Egypt on eagles wings”. So too we when doing mitzvot in order to attach to GOD must do them with great inner devotion which is brought about by great preparation. The sages say this preparation gives our mitzvot wings. Wings that bring us ever closer to GOD. Ultimately preparing ourselves for the ascent from our course physical existence, to a brighter light. The desires that we create while we are in this world are what we take with us when we leave. So may it be that we will all look closer at our parsha seeing His holy name in purity and become as its written “ For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a special people to himself, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.” (Deut. 7:6) Seeing the crown of His Kingship resting in His Kingship over all mankind with our righteous Mashiach, the Holy Temple and a New song quickly in our days.

[3] Zohar Vietchanan p.261a
“And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.”( 1:6-8)
God spends one-sixth of his entire creative effort (the second day) working on a solid firmament. This strange structure, which God calls heaven, is intended to separate the higher waters from the lower waters.
On one level we understand that on the second day of creation, G-d created the water condensation system. Called the ” firmament” Water turns into vapor, a gas, and rises into the sky, where it forms clouds, which eventually lead to rain. This is what waters everything on earth and sustains life on the planet. It’s very important, and that’s what GOD created on the second day.
On a deeper level The Ramban suggests that it is a deep mystery that is difficult for the average person to understand. He does also suggest, however, that the best way to understand what happened on the second day of creation is that G-d separated the physical world– what we can see and experience with our five senses– from the spiritual world– what is beyond our direct ability to comprehend. So the firmament, is actually the spiritual world that we can reach by studying the Bible and doing the commandments.
The Bible teaches that the Heavens and
the earth were created on the first day of
Creation. For the time being, we will put
aside what the Heavens are, what the earth
is, and what a day is in this context, but let
us focus on the fact that the Heavens and earth have been created as of day one.
Given that the Heavens and earth have
already been created, we should be
puzzled when we see statements on day
two which imply that G-d separates the
heavens from the earth on day two. As it
says “G-d said, ‘Let there be
a firmament between the waters” and then
goes on to say that this firmament
separates between “the waters above”
(ostensibly sky-bound water e.g. clouds)
and “the waters below” (e.g. oceans, lakes,
etc.). Why does the Bible seem to repeat
the creation of the firmament which divides
between Heaven and earth? It is created
once on day one, and then mentioned more
specifically on day two. Rashi quotes a Midrash
which explains the apparent repetition. The
firmament had been created on the first
day, but was somehow unstable. In the
Book of Job (26:11) the day-one firmament
is described as if the very pillars of Heaven
were weak. The Midrash explains that
when G-d says on day two, “let there be a
firmament”, this command was experienced
as a awesome roar. It was as if the
firmament became awestruck “like a person
who is shocked and stands still from the
roar of One who is threatening him.” It is as
if the Bible were describing three phases
to the creation of the firmament: its
creation, its experience of becoming
awestruck by the roar of the Almighty, and
its ultimate stabilization.
From another perspective :
The basic formula for photosynthesis is as follows:
6CO2 + 12H2O + sunlight <-> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2 Equation 1
The three input components of photosynthesis-light, water and carbon dioxide-correspond to the three basic components of Creation as highlighted in Kabbalah: light, water (
, mayim), and the firmament (
, rakia). The firmament is that element which separates G-dliness (or light) from the lower world (or water). The relationship between these three elements is figuratively depicted in the letter alef, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, which comprises an upper point (light), a lower point (water) and a diagonal line separating them (the firmament)
Hence it can be said that photosynthesis manages the interaction between Divine energy and the world. This is expressed both by the descent of carbon dioxide and oxygen atoms into carbohydrates (the source of sweetness in the world), as well as by the ascent of the oxygen atoms of water (the source of earthly pleasure, as taught by our sages: water propagates all manner of pleasure) as the oxygen gas released by the plant (enabling the Divine pleasure of the soul, the ’breath’ of G-d).
This connection between the upper and lower realms finds its most noticeable expression in what the Zohar refers to as ‘the union of the upper and lower waters’. According to the commentary Ashmoret Haboker on the Zohar, this union represents the unification of Torah knowledge (higher wisdom) and worldly knowledge (lower wisdom)- or the wisdom of the nations The hour that best reflects this coming together of the upper and lower realms is that of the third meal on Shabbat afternoon, whose messianic character makes it conducive for contemplating the significance of the plant (tzemach), the symbol of the Messiah.
The Zohar states that ”God looked into [the letters of] the Bible and created the universe.” The Divine act of Creation is referred to by the metaphor of speech.
The root אמר, “to say”, is an acronym for the first three primary creations: light (אור), water (מים), firmament (רקיע). These represent the three stages in the materialization of the creative seed, as taught by the Arizal:
-
light —the spiritual origin of the seed in the mind , before it is emanated, still only in potential in the God Head
-
water— physical manifestation of seed , the energy after emanation
-
firmament– the beginning of conception in the womb –. Shaping of the Energy so to create something in this physical world.
The firmament (רקיע), derives from the root רקע, “to stretch”, represents all states of positive tension- energy fields- in nature.

The third utterance is ”Let there be a firmament between the waters and let it separate between water and water”. It maps to the third sfira, which is Bina, Understanding. Bina is the type of understanding where ideas exist separately, can be scrutinized and comprehended. Bina is the level where division first exists. The very first division was the firmament, the rakia.
Our Rabbis teach in the name of Rabbi Hanina and Rabbi Pinchas and R’ Yaakov the son of Avin in the name of R’ Yishmael the son of Nachman - At the time the Holy One Blessed Be He said “Let there be a firmament between the waters” the middle drop congealed/froze and there was made the lower heavens and the upper heavens. (Breishit Rabba 4:7)
The separation between water and water became the separation of the upper heavens and the lower heavens. Certainly Scripture is telling us something of our physical reality, but even more about our spiritual reality. Heavens in Hebrew is shamayim, which it is taught means ”there is water”, ”fire and water”, ”loaded with water”, etc. (Breishit Rabbah 4:7). Water, that which makes our planet unique in the ability to support life.
At a physical level, water is made of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms bound with strong ionic bonds. The atomic number of oxygen is 8, that of hydrogen is 1. The sum of the atomic numbers in one molecule of water is 10.
lets try understand what is being said
Plants are made on the third day before there was a sun to drive their photosynthetic processes (1:14-19). 1:11
your assumption is correct, this could not be talking about physical creation of plants (it refers to their root and and source in the upper spiritual worlds)
this is confirmed by the latter verse
5. Now no tree of the field was yet on the earth, neither did any herb of the field yet grow, because the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the soil. (2:5)
Their creation on the third day was only in potential, only created was their spiritual source
This verse should be explained to mean that no tree was yet on the earth . As the creation of the world was completed till the sixth day, when man was created.
No herb of the field had yet grown. And on the third day, where it is written:“Let the earth bring forth,” they [the plants] had not yet emerged, but they stood at the entrance of the ground, in a potential state until the sixth day.
And why? Because He had not caused it to rain, and the sun was not set in the sky. There was no man to work the soil, and no one recognized the benefit of rain, but when man came and understood that they were essential to the world, he prayed for them, and they fell, and the trees and the herbs sprouted.
This sequence of events points us to recognize the spiritual root of all things.
The Bible also wants to emphasize that the sun is not in the center of or maybe even the origin of our “solar” system.
There is a Higher spiritual source-the God
We can see from this that thing such as even plants at their spiritual root they were not ordained in the basis of the obvious matters of this world, but rather they are high, distant, and wonderful indeed.
“Were the Torah (Bible) mere law, were the Torah given only to direct the people which path to follow, its laws and details would not be ordained on the basis of such fine and lofty distinctions, which can be sensed only after extraordinary and exhausting effort” . . . therefore, those who come to understand the Torah purely through human analysis, . . . will certainly err and reveal
For the thoughts of humanity are not the thoughts of God . . .
All subjects found in this world begin in the upper worlds, and their true existence is there, and they themselves descend via myriads of worlds until they reach our world with its feeble existence .. .
Just as there is nothing physical that does not have a root in the spiritual, so too there is nothing in the higher realms that does not descend to our lowest world . . . we can deduce that all the comprehension we have of the straightforward things of our world, can also enable us to comprehend the highest spiritual matters in their own terms, for in fact they are all one.
The Holy Torah is the spirit and root of Creation, and the world was created in accordance with it – “the Holy One Blessed Be He looked into the Torah and created the universe”.
Therefore all things found in creation are at their proper core and root in accord with the categories of the Holy Torah . . .
By knowing the spiritual nature of the source of our evolving worlds and physical creation one can be a partner with God in the work of creation.
G-d created many different spiritual concepts, forces and entities with which to create and direct the universe. Spiritual concepts can consist of such opposites as good and evil, or justice and mercy; as well as the basic concepts of giving and receiving, which are the spiritual roots of masculinity and femininity. There are also countless angels and spiritual potentials, all interacting to bring about the processes through which the universe is directed and guided.
The Bible in its beginning is teaching us concerning the Spiritual source of all things

IRNA – Islamic Republic News Agency Iran has successfully tested a radar-evading aircraft, a commander said on Sunday, in the country’s latest announcement of technological advances as it marks the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic revolution. The semi-official Fars News Agency, citing senior air force official Aziz Nasirzadeh, said the prototype of a radar-evading aircraft named Swordfish had been test-flown. “The prototype of this aircraft … Completed all radar evading characteristics considered by us,” he said. “We are evaluating the data from the test flight and it will go into production after completing additional tests.”
Iran is embroiled in a dispute with the West over its nuclear program and often makes announcements of progress in its military capabilities, in an apparent attempt to show its readiness to respond to any military attack. On Saturday, it officially started production of two new missiles, state media said, three days after it launched a rocket which can carry a satellite. During the Feb. 1-11 period, Iran marks the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution that toppled the U.S.-backed shah. THIS IS FROM A IRANIAN PRESS RELEASE, THEY SAY ALOT OF THINGS ? http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/library/news/iran/2009/iran-090130-irna01.htm |

IRAN SHOULD BACK DOWN
The secrecy of Israel’s missile program parallels that of its nuclear weapons program. Even the name of the missile program is disputed. The “Jericho” designation is reported by some analysts to be the original name given to the contract signed between France and Israel.
WHY ISRAEL WILL decisively defeat IRAN if there is an all-out war.
1.Israel has more than 200 atomic devices vs Iran which may have 1 soon.Even if Iran bought nuclear devices from other rogue states, the retaliation from Israel would be the equivalent of 2,000 plus hiroshimas.
2.The 200 plus Israeli atomic devices are unstoppable by Iran i.e. up to 80 can be launched by submarines and the rest by ICBM or F-15s or F-16s
3.Israel has the world?s most advanced anti-ICBM missle umbrella which may be impenetrable by Iranian Shahib missles . Iran can only deliver their 1-2 atomic warheads by ICBMs with no other delivery capabilities.
4.Israel has a satellite system with multiple types of spy satellites which have reached the limit of possible resolution (defraction limit) generally thought to be about 10 centimeters and their satellite system is all weather. Together with their advanced UAV capabilities , this allows Israel to possess the most detailed photos and real-time imaging of all Iranian military installations .
5.The military technologic difference between Israel and Iran is wide.
Israel has about 10% of the world-wide arms export market which based solely on merit and immensely competitive. IF anything, it is nothing short of a miracle and a tremendous tribute to Israel (jewish ) expertise that they sell to so many countries which never take the side of Israel in any dispute. There are those ,who imply much of Israel?s technological edge is due to massive American aid. However, that aid also has restrained the development of Israeli military technology. American military contractors regularly and understandably, attempt to undermine Israeli sale of military technology when it is in direct competition with American contractors? efforts to sell abroad.
Israel might have double the foreign military technologic sales if the US had never blanketly prohibited Israel selling directly to PRC. This is understandable.
Iran sells nothing in world wide arms market. Their highly publicized Shahib 3 missle is nothing but a supped up version of the the 63 year old V2 Nazi ballistic missle. Israel supplies Israeli-developed military technology to most of the world?s top militaries including the USA, India, and China. China’s J10 fighter is thought to be modeled on Israel?s Lavi.,the Israeli developed Jet fight.
In terms of MBTs, Israel possesses 1500 consisting entirely of the modern highly regarded Merkava. Iran has approx. 500 all obsolete models including the T 72. In front-line aircraft Israel has approximately 800 with more than 500 being upgraded F15s and F16s. Israel also possesses in air refueling capabilities. Iran has about 250 front-line combat aircraft consisting mostly of obsolete older US and Russian fighters. It has no known in air refueling capability.
Israel also is way ahead in production and use of UAVs and sells various models to many countries including Great Britain. There are other areas of military technology Israel is far more advanced than Iran.
The detailed report compiled by the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) in Washington last month, complete with graphs and diagrams, has been reprinted in thousands of copies in Tehran.
It is compulsory reading for its intelligence and Revolutionary Guards personnel because the Study on a Possible Israeli Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Development Facilities concludes that the Jewish state has all the resources necessary for a successful strike.
When asked recently, Adm. Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint US Chiefs of Staff, agreed with this estimate. This week, president Shimon Peres and prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu both said that if diplomcy failed to halt Iran’s nuclear activities, Israel would be left with no option other than the military one. And Tuesday, April 14, the New York Times quoted an Israeli official as saying that Jerusalem would give the Obama administration until late 2009 to stop Iran’s uranium enrichment projects; after that, Israel will be forced to act.
For the past three years, US military and intelligence sources have used attributed and leaked assessments to the American media to emphasize that such an operation is beyond Israel’s capabilities because of the nuclear facilities’ wide distribution across Iran. At best, they maintained, the Israeli Air Force might knock out a few Iranian nuclear installations, but only enough to put Iran’s nuclear drive temporarily on hold.
The CSIS paper refutes this assessment and maintains there is no need to destroy dozens or hundreds of sites; the destruction of seven to nine targets would be enough to cripple the Iranian program, and lists them as follows:
1. Lashkar A’bad, site of secret uranium enrichment plants in the north near the Turkish border.
2. Tehranb, for the central laboratory for developing atomic armaments as well as more uranium enrichment facilities.
3. Arak, in central Iran, where a heavy water plant is under construction to manufacture plutonium for weapons.
4. Isfahan, in central Iran, near which a small research reactor and a cluster of laboratories for uranium enrichment, centrifuges and weapons development, are situated.
5. Natanz, the main center for uranium enrichment.
6. Ardekan, at the southern tip of Iran, where more uranium enrichment facilities are located.
7. Saghand, Iran’s main uranium mining region.
8. Bushehr, on the Persian Gulf shore, Iran’s biggest nuclear reactor built by Russia.
9. Gachin, near the Strait of Hormuz, the site of more uranium mines and enrichment facilities.
Complicated tables set forth an array of technical details showing how many PG bombs Israeli Air Force F16I or F15F bomber-fighter planes can carry, how much fuel is needed to reach their Iranian targets, and at what stage of their return journey they would need to refuel.
This think tank finds Israel has enough aircraft as well as the necessary intelligence and electronic resources for the task – contrary to previous estimates.
The authors propose three attack routes for a potential Israeli operation against Iran: an eastern route over Saudi Arabia; a central route over Iraq, and a northern route over Turkey, Syria and northern Iraqi Kurdistan. They point to the third as Israel’s best option in view of the superiority of its electronic warfare (EW) capabilities.
Israel continues to maintain a powerful arsenal of “Jericho” ballistic missiles, capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to any point in the Middle East. Israel is also pursuing a military satellite program and has deployed several batteries of the Arrow missile defense system to shield against the missiles of its neighbors. Israel maintains a sizeable arsenal of ballistic missiles that would enable it to deliver an offensive or retaliatory nuclear strike against any potential regional target. The core of Israel’s arsenal is its fleet of two-stage “Jericho” missiles. Israel’s Jericho-I missile is estimated to be capable of carrying a 450 to 650-kilogram payload up to 500 kilometers, and the Jericho-II of carrying a 750 to 1,000-kilogram payload considerably more than 1,500 kilometers. It is estimated that the Jericho III entered service by 2008.
The Jericho III is believed to have a three-stage solid propellant and a payload of 1,000 to 1,300 kg. It is possible for the missile to be equipped with a single 750 kg nuclear warhead or two or three low yield MIRV warheads. It has an estimated launch weight of 29,000 kg and a length of 15.5 m with a width of 1.56 m. It likely is similar to an upgraded Shavitspace launch vehicle. It will probably have longer first and second-stage motors. It is estimated that it will have a range of 4,800 [3] to 7,000 km [4][5](2,982 to 4,350 miles), and probably significantly greater with a payload of 350kg (one Israeli nuclear warhead). It is believed that the Jericho 3 is inertial guided with a radar guided warhead and silo-based with mobile vehicle and railcar capabilities.
The Jericho 3 will give Israel nuclear strike capabilities within the entire Middle East and Europe. The range of the Jericho 3 also provides an extremely high impact speed for nearby targets, enabling it to avoid any ballistic missile defenses that may develop in the immediate region[6].
On 17 January 2008 Israel test fired a multi-stage ballistic missile believed to be of the Jericho III type reportedly capable of carrying “Special warheads”.[2]
If Israel chose to take military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities, it might opt not to send IAF jets on a mission but rather use its arsenal of medium-range ballistic missiles, a report published by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said Tuesday.
The Jericho III, Israel’s most advanced version of its custom-designed ballistic missile, is capable of carrying a 1,000-1,300 kilogram conventional payload or a 750kg nuclear warhead over a distance of up to 7,000 kilometers. With a smaller 350kg nuclear warhead, the missle’s range can be extended even further.
According to the NCIS report, 42 missiles would be enough to “severely damage or demolish” Iran’s core nuclear sites at Natanz, Esfahan and Arak.
“If the Jericho III is fully developed and its accuracy is quite high then this scenario could look much more feasible than using combat aircraft,” the NCIS report said.
The report also predicted that a Jericho salvo on Iran might draw an Iranian counter-attack with its own Shihab ballistic missiles. The Islamic republic might also take action against Europe and other countries, by choking off oil exports, hitting US assets in the Gulf, or ordering proxy groups like Hizbullah to attack Jewish targets outside Israel.
With regard to regional Arab states, the report claims such countries would not condone any attack on Iran, even though a nuclear Iran threatens them as well. However Israel’s reported arsenal of some 200-300 nuclear weapons would make it hard for the Jewish State to label Iran as an existential threat.
Israel’s presence in the Golan Heights and the West Bank, perceived as an occupation, would also make it hard for Arab states to side with Israel in any regional conflict, according to the report.
Iran’s determination to acquire nuclear weapons, the NCIS report said, is correlated to the degree to which it sees Israel as a threat to the survival of the regime there. The report assessed that Iran would withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty based on the argument that it needs to acquire nuclear weapons to protect it from aggression by Israel and the US.
The range of the Jericho 3 also provides an extremely high impact speed for nearby targets, enabling it to avoid any Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) defenses that may develop in the immediate region. The Jericho 3 is believed to payload of 1,000 to 1,300 kg. It is possible for the missile to be equipped with a single 750 kg nuclear warhead or two or three low yield MIRV warheads. It has an estimated launch weight of 29,000 kg and a length of 15.5 m with a width of 1.56 m. It is a three-stage solid propellant missile. It is believed that the Jericho 3 is inertial guided with a radar guided warhead and silo-based with mobile vehicle and railcar capabilities
A different system, which can also be deployed with the MLRS platform is the ground-launched version of the IMI Delilah precision attack loitering missile. The Air to Ground version of this missile, known as “Hanit” (spear) is already deployed with the Israel Air Force, IMI is offering a ground launched version of the missile. To demonstrate A ground launch capability, the company recently launched a booster-augmented version of the missile,. The rocket booster provides initial acceleration and altitude positioning the missile in optimal conditions to start the jet engine and for the cruise phase.
Israel has developed LORA (Long Range Artillery Rocket), which is similar to the U.S. ATACMS. Each LORA missile weighs 1.23 tons and carries a half ton warhead. With a range of 300 kilometers, GPS guidance is used to land the warhead within 30 feet of the aim point. You can get a LORA missile on a target within ten minutes of the order being given.
Delilah-GL’s (the ground version) and -SL (for the naval version) missiles are offering surface-to-surface attack capability with the same performance as the air to ground attack missile. Delila GL is designed for operation from standard artillery rocket systems, such as IMI’s autonomous rocket launchers, carrying two missiles each. The missile can also be used to accurately engage surface vessels at sea, with precision and ranges exceeding all current coastal defenses.
Delilah-GL has a maximum range of 150 km using autonomous navigation and guidance. With a modular design that provides high operational flexibility, including loitering and re-attack with man-in-the-loop control capability, Delilah provides a cost effective weapon capable of engaging maneuvering and relocated targets at high precision, ensuring target engagement and destruction with pinpoint accuracy during day, night and adverse weather.
Israel also possesses the U.S.-supplied Lance missile. The Lance is a liquid-fueled, short-range, mobile, nuclear-capable missile with a range of 130 kilometers and a payload capacity of at least 210 kilograms.
According to a report by the Congressional Research Service, Israel had deployed, Jericho missiles on mobile launchers and on underground wheeled transporter-erector-launchers or railroad flat cars.
In October 2003, the Los Angeles Times, citing Israeli and U.S. officials, reported that Israel had modified the American-supplied submarine-based Harpoon anti-ship missile to carry nuclear warheads.
Iran better back down and Syria if they know what’s good for them should stay out of any possible conflict.
