Egypt Orders The Killing Of All Its Pigs

“Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.”

“When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.”

With the potential for a world wide pandemic of swine flu, Egypt ordered the killing of all of its pigs in their land, some 300,000-350,000 of them. Egypt has no known cases of swine flu but neighboring Israel does.

The majority of Egypt’s citizenry are Muslim, who are forbidden to eat pork. It is estimated that about 10% of the population are of Christian faith and the pigs raised are for Christian consumption.

It has been determined that swine flu cannot be spread or contracted from eating pork, yet Egypt insists it will kill off all the pigs in an effort to thwart the disease and keep it on the other side of her borders.

This is not the first time something similar to this has been undertaken in Egypt. Last year President Mubarak ordered that all pig and chicken farms be moved away from populated areas to stop the spread of disease. Even though the order was given, it was never carried out.

In nearby Jordan, officials closed down the only five pig farms in that country due to what is being described as a violation of public health regulations.

Israel President Peres Says Iran Out To Control Middle East

Coming as not much of a surprise to most honest people of the planet, Israel President Shimon Peres today said that “Iran has aspirations to control the Middle East”. This response came from Peres in reference to the fact that Egypt and Iran seem plotted against each other because of Egypt finding out that Hizbullah, a known arm of Iran, was plotting targets to destroy in Egypt, including tourist sites.

From the Jerusalem Post:

Speaking after meeting with the country’s top rabbis in honor of the Pessah holiday, Peres told Army Radio, “They fight even without us being involved, and that’s good.”

What Perez was indicating was that Iran is not just focused on the destruction of Israel but will fight anyone who stands in their way to control all the Middle East.
