“Gathering Storm in the Middle East” Predicted the Current Crisis in Egypt, Iran, Israel and Obama Administration’s Reaction to these Events
Clearwater, Florida (PRWEB) February 02, 2011
Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) November 1st, 2011 — New Book: The Gathering Storm in the Middle East — Ominous Threats and Challenges for the Obama Administration.
Corrupt Leaders and Crisis in the Middle East: A far cry from the sedate suburban life and existence Richard Rinaldi (the main character) has been leading. But now he is on a quest for meaning in life, passion and true love.
Theres Eva, the seductress. She leads Richard into the quicksand of immorality and illegal financial deals. Theres Anne, a double agent who has the right contacts in Iran and delivers to them the microcomputer technology they need to make their nuclear-tipped missiles more accurate. Richard is in love with her. How can he trust his feelings for this angelic blond beauty?
Richard is the new strategic planner for CTS, a software development company. He travels with Charley, the president, to Iran. Following a dispute with the Iranian project manager, they come up with an idea, code named Trojan Horse, later changed to Myrtus. a computer virus (worm) planted in the Iranian system, which is timed to spread throughout the computer network, later. They escape Iran via Turkey.
Richard now knew that President Obama has NOT acted in the best interest of America. Obama, together with NATO, invaded Libya to save Arabs from Kaddafis years of tyrannical leadership. Mission accomplished! What was the ultimate cost? Not only did he spend billions of taxpayers money without prior approval from congress for his mini-war, but he lost control over highly sophisticated and very dangerous weapons, WMD which have now found their way to Egypt and Hamas, and other terrorist groups to kill more Americans and Jews.
Obama has agreed to pull our troops out of Iraq by the end of the year, against the best advice from our military experts and leadership. He thereby creates a power vacuum for the Iranians to fill (remember both Iraq and Iran are Muslim brothers, who are against both Jews and Muslim Sunnis). All of our military and diplomatic efforts, the blood of thousands of our troops and a trillion dollars of our treasure are wasted because of the Commander in- Chiefs inexperience and deplorable leadership.
What’s next? Obama will be a first-term president! The primary reasons will be the sick economy, Obama-Care, and 9% unemployment, under his watch. The damage he has done in less than four years will haunt us for decades to come. Most of the Middle East: Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and now Iraq, are without strong leaders. The Muslim Brotherhood and Iranian terrorists will play a key role in all of these destabilized governments. Russia and China have also become stronger. Americas is now weaker.
There is no possibility of peace and coexistence between Israel and its neighbors. We must face this fact, this ultimate truthIslam and Judo-Christianity are philosophically and theologically incompatible. One cannot make bargains with the worlds foremost liar, the evil one, Satan.
Richard learns powerful lessons of life and love, as the international plot between Egypt, Iran, Syria, Israel and the U.S. Obama administration comes together to confront him and Anne. He discovers that the real battleground on Earth is: choosing between the good and evil forces.
As a result of Obama’s inability to make critically decisions, a new, even greater crisis in the Middle East will not, cannot be stopped on time. This new nuclear crisis, its surprising outcome, and the War between the Christian West and radical Islams East are predictable.
The good book says, Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword!

The Internet at Threat Security Level Red?
Ogden, UT (PRWEB) March 1, 2011
Internet veteran David Brandley voices concerns to the media over a Internet security breach reportedly affecting a large percentage of all eCommerce websites.
According to Brandley, vulnerabilities or security holes are making websites susceptible to hackers, malware, trojans and worms. Companies such as Trust Guard and Clone Systems report the number of affected sites to be as high as 85.6%. “Internet professionals, website owners and the general population have no idea how vulnerable they are when it comes to online shopping. What these Internet browsers, business owners, and buyers don’t know is hurting them by the millions – it’s frustrating that no one is talking about it, not even Oprah” Brandley says.
He lists three major contributing factors to what he considers the widespread problem with website security:
1. Most people falsely believe a website is safe if they see the lock icon, or SSL certificate, at the bottom of the web page.
2. The general public doesn’t know much, if anything, about PCI security scanning, and how it can make a real difference in the security of a website.
3. Rarely do consumers have any idea what to look for to know if a website has had a PCI security scan.
He goes on to stress that “Internet shoppers need to be aware that an SSL certificate (represented by the lock icon) only takes your private information from your computer, across the Internet, to the website safely. The lock does not mean, however, that the website is safe”.
According to Trust Guard, a premier website security scanner and trust seal provider, a website can only be truly safe if it is regularly scanned for any vulnerabilities or security holes that hackers can use to gain access to private data. “Shoppers should look for a Security Scanned seal from companies like Trust Guard and McAfee Secure or Comodo to know a website has been scanned”.
Brandley concluded his statement by emphasizing the importance of education and active consumer participation in preventing vulnerabilities. “Educate yourself about websites you’re not familiar with and never enter private information–even an email address–without checking things out first. Look for a Security Scanned seal and take the extra step to click on the seal to check for validity. Doing that should take you directly to the site the security seal came from. If it says it’s a Trust Guard seal and it doesn’t take you to their official site, the seal is a fraud.”
