The black-box data has been shared with the public, though I don't know that the actual recording has been shared versus what we are merely being told of the recordings. The official line is that the plane was coming in too slow and therefore too low. But until I hear the recording in the black box for myself, this report is so much unreliable information.
Below is an image with smoke billowing from the two gaping holes in the roof, and yet we need to have an answer as to why the smoke is not pouring out the open door. Or, why didn't it pour out the open doors before the heat put holes through the plane? I can't imagine any plausible answer. Is the smoke added into this photo? Is the smoke faked? Why? The image is found at an article telling that the recording of the black box has not been shared. Instead, "Releasing data from the flight's black boxes without full investigative information for context 'has fuelled rampant speculation' about the cause of the crash, the Air Line Pilots Association International said."

I've just learned that Russia is eager to have a fighting unit on the Israeli border:
Israel may drop its opposition to stationing Russian troops on the Golan Heights as members of the UN peacekeeping force there -- if Moscow halts its shipments of S-300 missiles to Damascus. Such a deal could be in the works, the London-based Arabic-language a-Sharq al-Awsat said Wednesday.
In June, Russia expressed interest in stationing its troops on the Golan, where they would take the place of Austrian troops who had left their posts as fighting between rebels and Syrian Army troops rocked the UN base at Quneitra.
Russia applied to have its troops join the patrol, called UNDOF, but according to UN rules, Russia, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, cannot include its troops in the Golan peacekeeping force, as per the UN-brokered cease-fire between Israel and Syria establishing UNDOF after the Yom Kippur War.
Russia had proposed sending 380 troops to join the peacekeeping force.
It is not clear why Russia is interested in stationing its troops on the Golan, but the a-Sharq al-Awsat report said that Justice Minister Tzipi Livni had met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in recent weeks, with the latter suggesting cancellation of the S-300 deal as a "gesture" to Israel for Jerusalem's agreement to allow Russian troops to take up posts at Quneitra.
The report did not say whether the proposal had been submitted to the UN for approval, or if there had been a final agreement on the matter.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/169794
It's only about 400 troops (and 400 "spies") to begin with, but it's a foot in the door, allowing the Russians to keep better tabs on events at the Israeli border. Just think of how important it is to Russia to have this unit in the Golan Heights (= Syria-Israeli border region) if indeed Putin is willing to deny Assad the S-300 missile system. Perhaps Putin has got a plan B wherein he can dump plan A's loyalty toward Assad (in that case, the S-300's may not matter anymore, as far as regional strategies are concerned). This leak of information, involving negotiations between Russia and Israel, may explain why Russia announced some weeks ago that it won't send the missiles to Assad until the middle of 2014. By that time, Assad could be history, meaning that Russians are by that claim already suggesting that they are ready to dumb Assad if necessary.
I'm keeping watch on Russians turning against Assad in favor of a secret alliance with the Sunni in Syria...toward a possible Israeli invasion. Russians could gain by turning against Assad if they can set themselves up with an anti-Western group that takes control of the next Syrian government. I imagine that this is something Putin would be very interested in. Imagine if true: the Russians are requesting a role on the Golan heights because they already have a secret deal with a Sunni group that is eager to invade Israel.
The news story above comes just as Israel supposedly bombed Russian missiles in Latakia...though the missiles were in the possession of the Syrian government.

It also comes as Russia reportedly offered asylum to Edward Snowden. There is even a Moscow-Times article claiming that Snowden will make a formal request to stay in Russia. Snowden may hold some "juicy" secrets that, as a final straw, can motivate Russia greatly toward an anti-American campaign.

Obama is as good as dead. He will probably rise up in the midst of the scandals, proud and victorious over them, only to receive a single flick from God's finger that cuts him in half, "dead," as his two-facedness deserves. That's my prediction based on the scandals being themselves from God, who never loses to anyone when He acts. More news just out (I'm unable to watch the video at this time):
Below is a summary of the video in Arabic that reveals an agreement made between Barack Obama and Mohamed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, to give 40% of Sinai to Hamas in exchange for $8 billion has already been paid to Morsi by Obama.
No wonder Obama is asking the Egyptian Army to release Morsi: [click for story]
...• This agreement was signed by Khairat el Shater (number 2 of the Brotherhood) by Morsi and the Supreme Guide of the Mulsim Brotherhood.
...An investigation is ongoing Morsi and El Shater. An arrest warrant was filed against the Guide to MB and other members of his office.
• MB signatories to the agreement are liable to the death penalty for treason.
• The Obama administration would try to reach an agreement with El Sissi (Defense Minister): recognition of the legitimacy of the "coup" in exchange for his silence about the secret agreement. But El Sissi would be more interested in the conviction of MB and discredit their organization which is Egypt's main source of danger.
• The Republican members of Congress are seriously looking into the case. If proven, the process of Obama impeachment could be triggered.
http://www.egyptdailynews.com/news%20selling%20Sinai.htm
What do we think it amounts to if true that Obama paid eight billion to get Hamas a large tract of land between Israel and Egypt? That's a secret deal to support Hamas, something that Jimmy Carter would applaud. And Brzezinski, a topic in the last update as concerns his secret anti-Israeli stripes, was a tool of Jimmy Carter. However, none of the major media (including Israeli media) are treating this Sinai story (from an Arabic media) with importance, so far as I can find. There are stories where two Arab nations have promised Morsi eight billion dollars. The money may ultimately have been from Obama's people. The reasons for the arrest of Morsi were not given, but may have this issue at heart. Whatever this means: "Egypt announced a criminal investigation on Saturday against deposed Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, with prosecutors saying they were examining complaints of spying, inciting violence and ruining the economy."
http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Egypt-announces-criminal-investigation-of-Morsi-319713
I haven't been able to access news all week, but here on Saturday I have found that Obama's tool above actually spoke against Morsi, suggesting that Obama is willing to accept the coup already: "...a State Department spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, seeming to criticize Mr. Morsi as undemocratic and in so doing seeming to validate the military's move to oust him...The Muslim Brotherhood denounced her remarks as hypocritical and further proof of what it has called American endorsement of the military takeover in Egypt. "
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/12/world/middleeast/egypt-christians.html?_r=1&
I would have been completely shocked and confused all at once to hear that an Obama tool spoke out against Morsi so soon, but the Egypt-Daily article above (i.e. the Sinai story) can explain why this is so. That is, it makes the report credible (in my mind, anyway) that Obama is on a fast-track to siding with the coup because he doesn't want his Sinai deal with Morsi to be known. Why else has Obama not accepted the coup as such? Why else is Obama seemingly afraid to speak out against the Egyptian military that in a single stroke has wasted his efforts to make the Brotherhood supreme in Egypt? When the coup started, Obama was flat-out pro-Morsi: "We are deeply concerned by the decision of the Egyptian Armed Forces to remove President Morsi and suspend the Egyptian constitution. I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsi and his supporters. Given today's developments, I have also directed the relevant departments and agencies to review the implications under U.S. law for our assistance to the Government of Egypt." What changed his tone so quickly?
In the meantime, Obama will be viewed as a hypocrite and a traitor by the Muslim Brotherhood. The question is whether the Sinai story will make it to the Western press, or whether it has any credibility to do so.
I stopped reporting on Debkafile stories because this Israeli agency claims to have vast inside information that others do not. Debka may be an organ of the Israeli government that has the task of leaking information (not always true, therefore), or it may be facilitated by in-the-know, ex-military people in Israel. Or, it may be a complete sham by absolute "nobodys." Debka reported last year that Netanyahu agreed, at Obama's request, to halt aggression against Hamas in Gaza in return for some U.S. troops in the Sinai. If this story is true, one can now perceive the plan as Obama's duplicity -- his underhanded way of supporting Hamas while feigning support for Israel.
The question now is whether Obama (and/or the Brzezinski circle?) will use al-Qaeda to re-instate Morsi. It came out not many days ago that al-Qaeda had sent spies into the Sinai:
...According to a July 2 Veto Gate report, "al-Qaeda, under the leadership of Muhammad Zawahiri, is currently planning reprisal operations by which to attack the army and the Morsi-opposition all around the Republic {of Egypt}." The report adds that, hours before this information was ascertained, Zawahiri had been arrested and was being interrogated -- only to be ordered released by a presidential order. He has since fled to the Sinai, where al-Qaeda is stationed -- not to mention where Morsi had reportedly earlier summoned thousands of foreign jihadis to come to his aid whenever necessary, and where he may even have smuggled Muhammad Zawahiri's brother, Ayman Zawahiri --al-Qaeda's supreme leader...
"...Muhammad al-Zawahiri, Egypt's al-Qaeda leader, declared that the terrorist organization would wage a jihad to save Morsi and his Islamist agenda for Egypt. (They would not be the first Islamic terrorists to come to his aid; Hamas members were earlier arrested from inside Muslim Brotherhood headquarters, where they opened fire on protesters.).."
http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/07/obama-sides-with-al-qaedas-jihad-on-anti-morsi-egyptians-multiple-attacks-launched-against-egyptian-forces-in-sinai/
The quote from the article above may be deemed hearsay, or it may be truth that mainline media don't wish to engage. In my mind, it is a very credible report / assessment of the reality. Al-Qaeda is the group fond of beheadings, and in Egypt, as of the Morsi arrest, Egyptian Christians are suddenly under terrorist attack by Morsi / Brotherhood supporters.
The Egyptian military (i.e. anti-Morsi) has been fighting Hamas already:
Egyptian security forces have killed dozens of armed men and arrested hundreds more as part of a crackdown on extremist cells operating in the Sinai Peninsula, pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat reported on [July 11].
At least 32 Hamas fighters that entered Sinai through underground smuggling tunnels and joined the cells were among those arrested, according to the report.

When we have a Hamas-Qaeda alliance ready to make war with Egypt while Russia is interested in Israel's northern border, we have the makings of prophetic fulfillment if indeed Gog will be a Russian, especially when Persia is part of the Hamas-Qaeda alliance in this case. Iran is not happy with the Egyptian military at this time, but wants the Morsi government back. It's all begging to fulfill the two invasions of Egypt by the northern anti-Christ of Daniel 11:21-31. However, I do not think the first of the two invasions can take place until the anti-Christ arises in Iraq and in Syria (or what Daniel 11 portrays as an end-time Seleucid kingdom). I'm excited suddenly because this new development in Egypt is what was seemingly needed in order to signal the start of the END.
Military attack helicopters rattle over the impoverished desert towns of northern Sinai and the sound of gunfire erupts nightly, raising fears among residents of a looming confrontation between Egypt's military and Islamic militants who have intensified attacks since the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi.
Militant groups have grown bolder, striking security forces almost daily and also turning on local Christians. Some are now openly vowing to drive the military out of the peninsula on the borders with Israel and Gaza and establish an "Islamic emirate." Further fueling the turmoil is the longtime resentment among many in the Bedouin population over decades of neglect and harsh security crackdowns by the state.
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/07/13/islamic-militants-intensify-attacks-in-egypt-sinai-after-morsi-fall/
You know that Israel likes this turn of events. It seems difficult to imagine the Brotherhood surviving this onslaught when both Israel and the Egyptian military are opposed to it. "Israeli security officials say their military has not taken any special precautions, but it is watching the [Sinai / Gaza] situation carefully. They say they remain in close contact with their Egyptian counterparts, and that Egypt has coordinated its security moves in Sinai with Israel, as required by their 1979 peace treaty." This is the peace treaty that the anti-Christ's fighters will make war upon. It is coming. The Islamists will win this war against Egypt. A military leader from Iraq and Syria will call out for fighters against Egypt and Israel, and they will overcome by tricks. They will be infiltrated in the Egyptian army and will betray the Egyptian "king of the south," says Daniel 11.
The article above suggests that the Islamists are ready for war against Sisi: "'Morsi had given [the Sinai militants] cover to a certain extent,' said Ahmed Salama, who works for a leading civil society group in northern Sinai. Now extremists fear 'the army can go after them,' and at the same time 'they see this as an opportunity to kick the army out of Sinai.'" Apparently, they see hope in conquering the Egyptian army. The question is: is Obama secretly supporting this Sinai military? "Shortly after Morsi's was removed from office, thousands held a rally in northern Sinai proclaiming over loudspeakers the formation of a so-called 'war council.' They proclaimed that 'the era of peace is over' and vowed security forces would be expelled." Sinai has therefore become a haven for war against secular Egypt.
Snowden now promises to be the monkey wrench in the Obama machine that allows the Russians to rev their engines in stark contrast:
Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian journalist who first published the documents Snowden leaked...
"Snowden has enough information to cause harm to the U.S. government in a single minute...
"The U.S. government should be on its knees every day begging that nothing happen to Snowden, because if something does happen to him, all the information will be revealed and it could be its worst nightmare."
http://in.reuters.com/article/2013/07/13/usa-security-snowden-greenwald-idINDEE96C05520130713
That could be Russia's dream come true. It could tip the world's favor away from America, toward a Russian savior of the Middle East. No one dreams of a savior who spies on the phone calls of all the nation's highest officers. The United States will not succeed in arguing that, because every nation spies, it therefore has the right to have every phone call recorded, in case their needed. That's crossing the red line that's cause for a world revolt against America. If a military leader fights the enemy on the battlefield, that's "fair" warfare, but if a military leader kills innocent citizens off of the battlefield, that's terrorism. If Obama spies on the enemy, that's "fair" spying, but if he spies on the citizens, he's a terrorist spy. Globalists want you to feel terrorized by their spy machines.
The July-13 article above says: "Greenwald told Reuters on Tuesday that Snowden would likely accept asylum in Venezuela, one of three Latin American countries that have made that offer...Latin American leaders lashed out at the United States after Greenwald reported in a Brazilian newspaper that the U.S. targeted most of the region with spying programs that monitored Internet traffic." Was Snowden releasing that latest leak to find favor with Venezuela? Was he deciding on Venezuela over Russia because he wants to harm the Obama government, something that Putin said he would not tolerate? I think Obama understands the risk of damaging information being cut loose by Greenwald, should Snowden be captured by Obama. The question is: is this God versus Obama? Does God have a very bad nightmare for Obama? We need to ask the fly on the wall. But wait; Obama is the fly on the wall.
In the midst of the Egyptian coup, Russia is offering a hand: "Russia could provide financial support to Egypt if the Kremlin receives a request for help from the North African country...a Foreign Ministry official said [July 12]." This is important for showing that Moscow is stepping up eagerly to the plate in Middle-Eastern affairs while supporting the new Egyptian government that Obama opposes.

Mohamed ElBaradei is now the interim vice-president of Egypt. It's a huge about-face. The Muslim Brotherhood is taking a whiplash, and is practically wiped out. Even their financial assets have been seized. "In his first remarks since Mohammed Mursi's ouster, Egypt's military chief [Sisi] said on Sunday the armed forces acted according to the will of the people because the former government had stumbled." Now if only the American military would act in the same way due to Obama's many stumblings. In fact, the Egyptian military may have chosen this time to act against Morsi because Obama is in a dumpster. No one listens to him anymore. The world is ashamed that it ever put faith in this bumbling flip-flopper. A flip-flopper has a secret agenda; that's why he flip and flops. He juggles his methods because he has a fake face that needs to be carried along while having a secret agenda that the people must not discover.
Under Obama, al-Qaeda in Iraq (Sunnis out of the Mosul theater) is in serious contention for leading the Syrian rebellion:
BEIRUT -- Competing rebel factions in Syria are increasingly attacking each other in a series of killings, kidnappings and beheadings, undermining the already struggling effort to topple President Bashar al-Assad.
The open hostilities could no longer be contained Friday, when a Western-aligned group, the Free Syrian Army, demanded that a Qaeda-linked rebel faction, the Islamic State of Iraq and [Syria], turn over the suspected killers of a prominent commander who was shot dead on Thursday. Commanders with the Free Syrian Army warned that the broader movement against Mr. Assad was being threatened by the conflict between itself and the Islamic State.
..."The Islamic State wants to eliminate the Free Syrian Army higher command,"...
Kamal Hamami, the Free Syrian Army commander killed on Thursday in the coastal province of Latakia, had just met with others in the group about getting weapons...
But the Islamic State was apparently angry that he was planning an operation without consulting it...Mr. Hamami's men, on their way to delivering a Ramadan meal to friends, were blocked by Islamic State fighters angry that a checkpoint had been set up without their permission.
The commanders of the two groups quarreled, Anas said, and the Islamic State commander, Abu Ayman al-Iraqi, shot Mr. Hamami dead...
http://www.aina.org/news/2013071390304.htm
The purpose seems to be to send shock waves into the camps of the rebels should they not hearken to the ultimate rule of al-Qaeda in Syria.
Obama's chief tool at Homeland Security, Janet Napolitana, has quit. Obama will chose a new leader of Homeland Security. She's been planning to quit for quite some time, but no one knew it. It's a wonder why she decided to go; perhaps towing the Obama line was ruining her reputation too much. There are nasty articles on this topic written by right wingers...whom Napolitano despised. She hasn't used email in about ten years, hmm, I wonder why not. New York's Police Commissioner (Raymond Kelly) has been considered as her replacement.

Assuming that all the evidence that the FBI and others mounted against the Chechen brother was true, one would think he would plead guilty. Instead, "Boston Marathon bombing suspect, his arm in cast and his face swollen, pleads not guilty"
http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/boston-marathon-bombing-suspect-heads-to-first-public-court-appearance/2013/07/10/bb578ac4-e92a-11e2-818e-aa29e855f3ab_story.html?hpid=z1
This report comes as one Boston police officer was arrested for possession (probably theft ) of military-grade explosives at his home. I was wondering whether this had anything to do with the explosions at the marathon (which the framed Chechen brother did not have part in).
