Early next week, a major winter storm threatens to greatly disrupt travel and daily routines in the eastern third of the nation. Incoming harsh cold, a surge of warmth and a powerful jet stream will turn the storm into a potent system.
The intent of the above graphic is to display the wide variety of adverse weather that will accompany the storm. Its exact track, which will become clearer this weekend, will determine which areas receive disruptive snow or drenching rain Monday into Tuesday.
Soaking rain will pour down east of the storm's center as warm air flows northward. Enough rain will fall that flooding could become a concern. The greatest threat would be in the Northeast, where the frozen ground will fail to absorb the water.
Substantial snow will be found on the storm's back side, creating a nightmare for travelers and likely leading to school cancellations. Amounts could total 6 to 12 inches, with up to 2 feet not out of the question.
Accumulating snow will also fall and cause treacherous travel as far south as northern parts of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.
Strong winds will howl on both sides of the storm. Blustery winds following the system will significantly chill the air, while powerful winds to the storm's east could cause coastal flooding along the Northeast's beaches.
She also called for a dialogue between different sectors in Israel in order to work together to preserve Jewish values. "Constant arguing over the way" to achieve our common goals will cost us the nation as a Jewish state, she said."The Jewish aspects of Israel are a national subject and not the monopoly of any single party," the Foreign Minister added. "We have a generation growing up that is afraid of an halachic (Torah -ed.) state and of political parties based on fear and hate. My job is to create the common ground and common denominator and is not an interest of a sector."
She called for unity, not only in terms of political parties but as a people with common values.
Throughout her speech to a predominantly nationalist and religious audience, she emphasized Judaism and spoke of her children who observe Jewish traditions on Yom Kippur and the Jewish New Year of Rosh HaShanah.
Referring to the political divide between nationalists and herself, she noted that years of refusal to make concessions have resulted in international demands that have forced political leaders "to run for compromise."
"I know to say ahead of time what are the compromises," pointing out her opposition to Palestinian Authority demands for the right of immigration to Israel of foreign Arabs who are descendants of families who left Israel during previous wars.
A Fed Ex Plane crashed and caught fire this morning at the Lubbock Airport in Texas. At the time of the crash, the temperature was 17 degrees and freezing drizzle had been falling all night. The ice in Lubbock is part of the massive ice storm that is causing a disruption to travel and power outages from western Texas to Kentucky... Severe icing that prompted Oklahoma's Governor Henry to declare a state of emergency on Monday for all 77 counties... A major, if not historic ice storm is in progress today from Tulsa, Okla, to Louisville, Ky. and Lynchburg, Va.
A wintry mix will develop today and cause problems over parts of the southern Plains before significant icing occurs from northeastern Oklahoma to Kentucky tonight into Tuesday.

The current weather pattern will shift today and eventually lead to a change in the weather across the entire nation, beginning with the West Coast and eventually spreading a wintry mix across the nation's midsection.

Left engine missing from jet ditched in Hudson...
Russian Military Intelligence reports circulating in the Kremlin today state that an attempt to shoot down an American passenger plane over New York City carrying some of the top officials from the United States largest bank, and largest financial services company in the World, Bank of America, failed when the pilot quickly reacted to his crippled and burning aircraft by landing it in the Hudson river extinguishing the spreading flames and saving the lives of all aboard.
Quoting some of the direct statements from passengers on the attacked aircraft (including Jeff Kolodjay who stated “I heard a loud explosion from the left side of the plane [and] the smell of gas was strong.”, and Dave Sanderson who also stated “I heard an explosion and saw some flames coming from the left wing.”) the FSB additions to these reports state that ‘without a doubt’ the missile used to attack this US aircraft was a Russian made Igla-S man-portable air-defense system manufactured at the Degtyarev factory in the city of Kovrov due to its ‘unique frequency signature’ recorded by [listening devices] located at Russia’s UN Mission offices in New York City and orbiting satellites.
It has long been known by Russian Intelligence Analysts that the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been in possession of 50 Igla-S missiles stolen from Russia by the British MI6 terrorist spy ring run by their agent Hemant Lakhani, and who in 2003, while being pursued by FSB commandos was ‘rescued’ by CIA forces and brought to the United States where he remains today.
It should be noted that the United States has stated that Hemant Lakhani was ‘convicted’ by their Federal Court and sentenced to 47 years in prison for his arming of terrorists with stolen Russian weapons, but to this date, FSB requests to have this verified, and to actually see and interrogate Lakhani, have been denied by US Intelligence Officials. Likewise, repeated Russian requests to have the stolen Igla-S missiles returned have been denied as the Americans have stated that they are still being used as ‘evidence’.
To the reason behind this attack upon some of the most powerful bankers in the United States, these reports continue, was to further the collapse of the American economy by ‘assassinating by plane crash’ Bank of Americas top officials who were returning to their home base in North Carolina after negotiating a $138 Billion US government bailout, and which would ‘totally destroyed’ the stock value of Americas largest bank plunging the US into further financial chaos.
As to why these most powerful of American bankers would even be allowed to fly on aircraft normally used by ordinary people, these reports continue, the US Congress had previously pressured all of their Nations top industrial and banking officials to stop using their private airline fleets while at the same time accepting from the American taxpayers billions of dollars in bailout funds.
FSB opinions on this new American policy, however, point out that to refuse such high officials the protections and security offered by their own private airline fleets is ‘insanity’ as it not only exposes these officials to assassination but poses the ‘greatest danger possible’ to all other ordinary people surrounding them when attacks such as this occur.
Not being understood by the American people about the Bank of America, is that unlike its failed, and collapsed, counterparts on Wall Street, it has not only survived the initial onslaught against the United States financial system, but has actually been expanding by picking up some of the most lucrative parts of what has been left from the destroyed New York banks it had previously outwitted.
However, Russian Financial Analysts state in these reports that as Bank of America has now become the ‘final lynchpin’ needed to be destroyed in order to totally, and finally, collapse the United States economy, those ‘forces’ seeking to destroy America must ‘bring it down’.
This may harder, though, than its ‘adversaries’ have planned for, continue these reports, as the present day Bank of America is comprised of the two most powerful banking forces of the Vatican these past nearly 150 years with one part being the Bank of Italy, founded in San Francisco by Amadeo Giannini in 1904, and the other part being the Southern United States banking giant NationsBank located in Charlotte, North Carolina, which merged to become what today is Bank of America.
Of critical importance to note about this banking giant are its strong ties to the defeated Confederate States of America during the American Civil War of the 19th century over the United States plan to turn over their economy to a central banking economic system advocated by the European Rothschild banking empire and their Northern US industrial allies, but which was, likewise, vehemently opposed by the Southern US States led by their elite class of Moravian settlers from the Wachau area of Germany and backed by the Vatican.
Though the Northern United States Forces were victorious in this civil war, and by 1913 had turned over their entire economy of their Nation to the privately run European banking empire of the Rothschild’s, renamed The Federal Reserve Bank, the massive gold reserves of the Confederate States were never recovered by the Northern bankers, or their European banking allies, and was long rumored to have fueled the rise of the powerful Charlotte, North Carolina banks which emerged after the war and established in their State the World’s largest textile giant, Burlington Industries, and the giant International tobacco giants located in Winston-Salem, both of which have earned since the 1860’s over $37 Trillion to continue their ‘war’ against what they believe to have been the theft of their ‘true’ American Nation.
Since the 1960’s, and virtually unknown to the American people, this ‘civil war’ has erupted once again with the first blow being struck against the Southern States allied with the Vatican when the Catholic American President, John F. Kennedy, was gunned down immediately after his moves to destroy the Federal Reserve Bank and restore to the American Nation their own money supply.
Since President Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, the Northern States and their European Banking allies attacks upon the Southern States has been unrestrained, and relentless, with the targeting of both the South’s vast textile and tobacco ‘money making machines’, which the former was moved by the European bankers from the American South to Asia costing over 15 million American jobs, and the latter being ruthlessly targeted as being the ‘main cause’ of the cancers and heart disease inflicted upon the American people by the insidious poisoning of their water by fluorides and their foods by pesticides.
It goes without our saying that the American people of today have become so completely indoctrinated into the false beliefs and history of their own Nation that these words of ours could not possibly be believed by them. However, and what they should know, these words are the truest many of them will ever read about what is happening to them today.

MOSCOW -- For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010. For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument -- that an economic and moral collapse will trigger a civil war and the eventual breakup of the U.S. -- very seriously. Now he's found an eager audience: Russian state media.
In recent weeks, he's been interviewed as much as twice a day about his predictions. "It's a record," says Prof. Panarin. "But I think the attention is going to grow even stronger."
Prof. Panarin, 50 years old, is not a fringe figure. A former KGB analyst, he is dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry's academy for future diplomats. He is invited to Kremlin receptions, lectures students, publishes books, and appears in the media as an expert on U.S.-Russia relations.
But it's his bleak forecast for the U.S. that is music to the ears of the Kremlin, which in recent years has blamed Washington for everything from instability in the Middle East to the global financial crisis. Mr. Panarin's views also fit neatly with the Kremlin's narrative that Russia is returning to its rightful place on the world stage after the weakness of the 1990s, when many feared that the country would go economically and politically bankrupt and break into separate territories.
A polite and cheerful man with a buzz cut, Mr. Panarin insists he does not dislike Americans. But he warns that the outlook for them is dire.
"There's a 55-45% chance right now that disintegration will occur," he says. "One could rejoice in that process," he adds, poker-faced. "But if we're talking reasonably, it's not the best scenario -- for Russia." Though Russia would become more powerful on the global stage, he says, its economy would suffer because it currently depends heavily on the dollar and on trade with the U.S.
Mr. Panarin posits, in brief, that mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation will trigger a civil war next fall and the collapse of the dollar. Around the end of June 2010, or early July, he says, the U.S. will break into six pieces -- with Alaska reverting to Russian control.
In addition to increasing coverage in state media, which are tightly controlled by the Kremlin, Mr. Panarin's ideas are now being widely discussed among local experts. He presented his theory at a recent roundtable discussion at the Foreign Ministry. The country's top international relations school has hosted him as a keynote speaker. During an appearance on the state TV channel Rossiya, the station cut between his comments and TV footage of lines at soup kitchens and crowds of homeless people in the U.S. The professor has also been featured on the Kremlin's English-language propaganda channel, Russia Today.
Mr. Panarin's apocalyptic vision "reflects a very pronounced degree of anti-Americanism in Russia today," says Vladimir Pozner, a prominent TV journalist in Russia. "It's much stronger than it was in the Soviet Union."
Mr. Pozner and other Russian commentators and experts on the U.S. dismiss Mr. Panarin's predictions. "Crazy ideas are not usually discussed by serious people," says Sergei Rogov, director of the government-run Institute for U.S. and Canadian Studies, who thinks Mr. Panarin's theories don't hold water.
Mr. Panarin's résumé includes many years in the Soviet KGB, an experience shared by other top Russian officials. His office, in downtown Moscow, shows his national pride, with pennants on the wall bearing the emblem of the FSB, the KGB's successor agency. It is also full of statuettes of eagles; a double-headed eagle was the symbol of czarist Russia.
The professor says he began his career in the KGB in 1976. In post-Soviet Russia, he got a doctorate in political science, studied U.S. economics, and worked for FAPSI, then the Russian equivalent of the U.S. National Security Agency. He says he did strategy forecasts for then-President Boris Yeltsin, adding that the details are "classified."
In September 1998, he attended a conference in Linz, Austria, devoted to information warfare, the use of data to get an edge over a rival. It was there, in front of 400 fellow delegates, that he first presented his theory about the collapse of the U.S. in 2010.
"When I pushed the button on my computer and the map of the United States disintegrated, hundreds of people cried out in surprise," he remembers. He says most in the audience were skeptical. "They didn't believe me."
At the end of the presentation, he says many delegates asked him to autograph copies of the map showing a dismembered U.S.
He based the forecast on classified data supplied to him by FAPSI analysts, he says. He predicts that economic, financial and demographic trends will provoke a political and social crisis in the U.S. When the going gets tough, he says, wealthier states will withhold funds from the federal government and effectively secede from the union. Social unrest up to and including a civil war will follow. The U.S. will then split along ethnic lines, and foreign powers will move in.
California will form the nucleus of what he calls "The Californian Republic," and will be part of China or under Chinese influence. Texas will be the heart of "The Texas Republic," a cluster of states that will go to Mexico or fall under Mexican influence. Washington, D.C., and New York will be part of an "Atlantic America" that may join the European Union. Canada will grab a group of Northern states Prof. Panarin calls "The Central North American Republic." Hawaii, he suggests, will be a protectorate of Japan or China, and Alaska will be subsumed into Russia.
"It would be reasonable for Russia to lay claim to Alaska; it was part of the Russian Empire for a long time." A framed satellite image of the Bering Strait that separates Alaska from Russia like a thread hangs from his office wall. "It's not there for no reason," he says with a sly grin.
Interest in his forecast revived this fall when he published an article in Izvestia, one of Russia's biggest national dailies. In it, he reiterated his theory, called U.S. foreign debt "a pyramid scheme," and predicted China and Russia would usurp Washington's role as a global financial regulator.
Americans hope President-elect Barack Obama "can work miracles," he wrote. "But when spring comes, it will be clear that there are no miracles."
The article prompted a question about the White House's reaction to Prof. Panarin's forecast at a December news conference. "I'll have to decline to comment," spokeswoman Dana Perino said amid much laughter.
For Prof. Panarin, Ms. Perino's response was significant. "The way the answer was phrased was an indication that my views are being listened to very carefully," he says.
The professor says he's convinced that people are taking his theory more seriously. People like him have forecast similar cataclysms before, he says, and been right. He cites French political scientist Emmanuel Todd. Mr. Todd is famous for having rightly forecast the demise of the Soviet Union -- 15 years beforehand. "When he forecast the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1976, people laughed at him," says Prof. Panarin.
