The International Air Transport Association has sharply criticized European governments for their lack of leadership in handling airspace restrictions in light of the Icelandic volcano eruption. The association has urged a rethink of the decision making process.
They were quoted as saying we are far enough into this crisis (and that’s what it is a crisis – whether man made or a natural occurrence I know not) to express our dissatisfaction on how the governments have handled the situation with a no risk assessment, no consultation, no coordination, and no leadership being shown relative to the situation.
The crisis is costing airlines at least $200 million per day in lost revenues and the European economy is suffering billions of dollars in lost business.
In the face if such dire consequences it is incredible that Europe’s transport ministers have taken a full five days to organize a teleconference. IATA criticized Europe’s unique methodology of closing airspace based on theoretical modeling of the ash cloud.
This means that the governments have not taken their responsibilities seriously enough to make clear decisions based on facts. Instead, it has been the air navigation service providers who had announced that they would not provide the service. And these decisions have been taken without adequately consulting the airlines.
This has been a test for the chosen one; the newly appointed president of Economic Government of Europe, Herman Van Rompuy and it seems to be a test that he has failed miserably -- or has failed deliberately?
It does seem to be very curious that the European politicians, Herman Van Rompuy in particular, have done nothing to render the circumstance of Icelandic Volcanic eruptions impotent so that they don’t affect European Airspace?
This inaction on the part of Van Rompuy suggests the fulfillment of Bible prophecy whereby we are told that the Antichrist achieves certain objectives and helping mankind is not one of them.
Revelation Chapter 6
From the King James Version
1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
