The purpose of the trip is still not clear, but the outgoing defense minister is to meet with senior intelligence and Pentagon officials; this is Barak’s fourth trip abroad in the last month alone.
Haaretz
Defense Minister Ehud Barak left for Washington on Monday morning for a surprise visit. The exact purpose of his trip is still not clear, but his office said that he was planning to meeting with senior officials in the Pentagon and the American intelligence community.
This is Barak’s fourth trip abroad in the last month alone. He has made no fewer than nine business trips outside Israel in the past five months. He returned to Israel just last week from his latest trip – to the International Security Conference in Munich, Germany, which was attended by defense ministers from around the world. This trip came one week after Barak attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The defense minister’s other recent jaunts include a January visit to Washington and a visit to the United Kingdom in late October.
Minister Dan Meridor will serve as acting defense minister in Barak’s absence.
During these trips, Barak had the opportunity to make some comments to foreign media and audiences that quickly turned into front-page headlines in Israel.
While in Munich, for example, Barak made what was perceived to be the first Israeli acknowledgment of last week’s attack in Syria that foreign media attributed to Israel.
While in Davos, Barak said he was confident the U.S. has a plan for a ‘surgical operation’ against Iran, which would only be used in the event that diplomatic efforts to convince the country to drop its military nuclear program do not succeed.
Barak’s visit to Washington comes at a strange time, as he is planning to retire from politics in just a few weeks.
In addition, National Security Adviser Yaakov Amidror and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s special envoy Isaac Molho are scheduled to visit Washington later this week, to prepare for U.S. President Barack Obama’s trip to Israel next month. Aside from the technical details, Amidror will work with the Americans on the visit’s diplomatic agenda, especially on the Syrian and Iranian issues. Molho will discuss ideas for restarting the peace process.

Probably a last ditch effort to submarine Chuck Hagel’s appointment as Secy. of Defense

Maybee Barack Obama can ask Netanyahu if he has anything against black people.

Barak has been the European 9/11 manager, from London, since the event.
Another event seems to be on the horizon.

It is all now working to the finale:
Not that I am inclined to believe prophets of the Catholic Church, However, I do believe that the Catholicos is a set up for the Talmudic Sanhedrin to deceive the earth and lead mankind to a “See we have told you our prophets are true” Because they killed the prophets of God, they serve the devil. So what will and what has the devil done, but has deceived man to believe that the Choose prophecies are true….the Scofield Talmudic Tinky Winky TBN’s Tellytubbies have led mankind or the church to apostasy and abject complacency so they deny Christ.
Also note the Zohar of the Sanhedrin’s Talmudic Qabala:
Zohar Torah portion of Va’era page 32a
…In the future, the children of Yishmael will rule over the Holy land for a long time while the land is empty, just as their circumcision is empty and without completion. And they will hinder the children of Israel from returning to their place, until their merit in the Holy land runs out. In the future the children of Yishmael will stir great wars in the world. And the children of Edom [the West] will gather against them, and make war with them, one on the sea, and one on the land, and one by Jerusalem; and each one will prevail over the other but the Holy land will not fall to the hands of Edom. At the same time, a nation from the end of the world will be awakened against wicked Rome.(Rome here is said to refer to the spiritual center of western civilization) and it will make war against her for three months, and many nations will gather there, and they will fall by her hand, until all the children of Edom will gather against her from all corners of the earth. And then G-d will awaken Himself against them, as it says, “a sacrificial slaughter for the Lord in Batzra”, and it says, “to shake the corners of the Land”. And after this, the children of Yishmael will be finished from the world. And all the supernal powers of the nations will be broken, and no power will remain above except for the power of Israel alone
See….Jewish Encyclopedia….
The Great Sanhedrin alone had the right to appoint, or confirm the appointment of, the high priest. His consecration might take place only in the day-time. Two high priests must not be appointed together. Every high priest had a “mishneh” (a second) called the Segan, or “memunneh,” to stand at his right; another assistant was the “catholicos”(“Yad,” l.c. 16-17
I am certain that Simon Magus established the Catholic whore for Sanhedrin and not Simon Peter of Christ Jesus.
According to Malachi Martin this pope “Benedict” is the LAST, BEFORE THE ANTI-CHRIST or False Christ, MOshiach Ben David. Will he himself be False Christ? No I Do not believe, but I do believe he will be the False Prophet, who causes the World to Bow to Moshiach ben doo doo and accept the anti-Christ Noahide Laws and Deny Christ…….here is what Martin stated….
9. The Glory of the Olive. The Order of St. Benedict has said this Pope will come from their order. It is interesting that Jesus gave his apocalyptic prophecy about the end of time from the Mount of Olives. This Pope will reign during the beginning of the tribulation Jesus spoke of. The 111th prophesy is “Gloria Olivae” (The Glory of the Olive). The Order of Saint Benedict has claimed that this pope will come from their ranks. Saint Benedict himself prophesied that before the end of the world his Order, known also as the Olivetans, will triumphantly lead the Catholic Church in its fight against evil.
10. PETER THE ROMAN – This final Pope will likely be Satan, taking the form of a man named Peter who will gain a worldwide allegiance and adoration. He will be the final antichrist which prophecy students have long foretold. If it were possible, even the very elect would be deceived. The 112th prophesy states: “In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Petrus Romanus, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End.”
Malachy’s final words:
In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock among many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city (Rome, the seat of the Vatican) will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people.
Once again I ask you all to understand Matthew 24 and be forewarned to not DENY JESUS the Christ the LORD
