FINANCIAL TIMES 16.10.09 Sarkozy attacks Klaus on Lisbon refusal
By Ben Hall in Paris and Tony Barber in Brussels

Nicolas Sarkozy on Thursday criticised the refusal of Vaclav Klaus, the Czech president, to sign the Lisbon treaty and warned him he could face repercussions.The French president broke ranks with other European Union leaders to raise the pressure on Mr Klaus, describing as unacceptable his refusal to ratify the treaty.Decision time is coming for him and it will not be without consequence,Mr Sarkozy said in an interview that appears in Friday’s Le Figaro newspaper.And whatever happens, this issue will be resolved by the end of the year.Mr Klaus this week demanded last-minute legal guarantees to ensure ratification of the treaty did not lead to a flood of claims on Czech property from ethnic Germans expelled from the former Czech Republic in 1945.EU governments were now considering whether to give such assurances in the form of a declaration but were reluctant to provide one unless they were convinced Mr Klaus would raise no further objections, diplomats said.Finding the appropriate language for a declaration could take some time and not everyone is happy with the idea. Austria is particularly opposed.

France regards Mr Klaus’s concerns over the Sudeten German issue as artificial [but the Sudeten Germans in Germany do not regard it this way and are threatening to go to the European Court if the opt-out is not legally binding from Day 1 of the Treaty -cs] but would accept a declaration if it led to speedy ratification of the treaty, as long as it did not create political problems for other countries.The Czech Republic, like all 27 EU member states, agreed to do everything to ratify the treaty by the end of the year,a French official said. The Czech government has signed it, the Czech parliament has signed it. We don’t expect the Czechs’ president to put himself in a position where he breaks the word of the Czech Republic. The EU runs on people holding to their word. There would be serious consequences.[Sarkozy should read rthe Czech constitution which gives the Czech president equal powers with the government in negotiating treaties. He should stop bullying and realise that the French people have voted against the treaty as have the Dutch and the Irish. They’ve all been ignored and bullied into accepting it! -cs]French frustration at Mr Klaus’s foot-dragging is shared by many in Brussels and national capitals. But other leaders have so far avoided publicly attacking Mr Klaus, fearing such criticism could prove counter-productive.Mr Klaus’s objections have gone down badly with Mr Sarkozy who is anxious for the Lisbon treaty – of which he claims parentage – to be put into place quickly. He had to be dissuaded by Fredrik Reinfeldt, the Swedish prime minister, from haranguing Mr Klaus publicly about his reluctance to sign the treaty after the Irish Yes vote earlier this month.

France, Germany and the UK begin negotiations over shape of EU diplomatic service;French Foreign Minister: Lisbon Treaty will lead to a true European defence policy OCT 16,09

Le Monde reports that member states, including the UK, France and Germany, are already negotiating over the new diplomatic service, without waiting for the Lisbon Treaty to be ratified, or for the election of the EU Foreign Minister.The French Foreign Office reports that French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner has said this week that, during the European Council meeting on 29-30 October,the general lines of the European External Action Service will be sketched, in other words the future EU Foreign Affairs Minister. This [diplomatic] service will have to put its members at the core of the Commission, the Council's Secretary General, but also of the 27 member states. The credibility and effectiveness of European diplomacy will depend on its ability to analyse and act. The biggest mistake would be to create new European bureaucracy.He added,I am thinking about Europe's contribution in Afghanistan, very active but too dispersed between the Commission, the EU's special representative and member states, depriving us of the political leadership that we could aspire to. The Lisbon Treaty will put us in the right place.Le Monde reports that, according to Paris, London and Berlin, the diplomatic service should not have more than a couple of hundred people in the service to begin with, and a third of the whole service should be composed by their national civil servants, contrary to the wishes of EU diplomats and small members that were hoping to use this instrument to create a real European diplomacy.

The paper also reports that the UK is also looking to integrate member states' military contingent in Brussels into the External Action Service. The French Foreign Office quotes Bernard Kouchner saying the Lisbon Treaty, will lead to an influential Europe that will be able to make its voice heard on the international scene because it will be more effective and visible with a stable President of the Council and...a High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and a security policy benefitting from reinforced means of actions, a true European defence policy, and the necessary conditions for powerful diplomacy. Can the diplomat do without the soldier...? I don't think so.The article also reports that France and Spain have been pushing to devolve some management of development aid back to member states, but the UK and the Scandinavian members want to leave it in the hands of the Commission.

Spanish president visits Israel
October 16, 2009

MADRID, Spain (JTA) – Spain’s president visited Israel and the West Bank and received a medal from the Palestinian Authority president.President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero arrived in Tel Aviv on Thursday for his one-day visit, which is part of a larger tour that includes Syria. Spain is interested in expanding its role to help restart peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.Zapatero told Israel’s daily Ma’ariv that Spain wants to open a new page in bilateral relations. Spain is a friend of Israel,the socialist leader said. When we criticize one another, we do so as friends.Accompanied by Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Ángel Moratinos, the trip to Israel included meetings with Israeli President Shimon Peres, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and opposition leader Tzipi Livni of the Kadima party. Zapatero also went to the West Bank city of Ramallah, where P.A. President Mahmoud Abbas gave him a medal of honor from for the Spanish government’s support for the liberty and independence of the Palestinian people.

Asked about his position on the Goldstone report on the Gaza war, which blamed Israel for war crimes and which Israel has discounted as inherently biased, Zapatero said, The response to the report should be intelligent, rational, and in no way should be an obstacle to the peace process. I know that it is a very sensitive subject in Israel and we should act with caution.Zapatero also denied a recent report by the Anti-Defamation League expressing concern over an alarming rise in anti-Semitism in Spain; a survey had shown 75 percent of Spanish respondents believed Jews have too much power in international financial markets.There is no anti-Semitism in Spain in any of its expressions,Zapatero said.Not every commentary, publication, or photograph should be considered anti-Semitic. The best proof is that today there are no anti-Semitic acts in Spain.

Spain to Back Obama on Israel-PA Talks by Maayana Miskin OCT 16,09

(IsraelNN.com) Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, whose country will soon assume the European Union presidency, met Thursday with President Shimon Peres and discussed Israel-PA negotiations.Zapatero expressed interest in increasing his country's role in Israel-PA talks, particularly once Spain takes on EU leadership.We will not allow this period to pass without being committed, and without working vigorously, to advancing the peace process,he said.This is an important mission.The Spanish PM indicated that the EU under Spain's leadership would back the policies supported by United States President Barack Obama.We will cooperate fully with President Obama's administration,Zapatero told Peres.Zapatero also traveled to Ramallah to meet with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. PA media quoted Zapatero as telling Abbas that he hopes to speed up the creation of a PA-led Arab state in Judea, Samaria and Gaza.In addition to pushing for the creation of such a state, Spain hopes to shorten the process of international recognition for a PA state, the reports quoted Zapatero as saying. According to PA media, the Spanish PM also stated that the U.S. shares his goals.During his meeting with Abbas, Zapatero joined the PA Chairman in paying his respects to the deceased former Chairman Yasser Arafat, who founded terror organization Fatah in 1959 and led it until his death in 2005.

Lessons of the lat Oct 15th 2009 From The Economist print edition

The European Union should ease the way for small, troubled currencies to join the euro-LATVIA is a financial minnow. Its economy—about the size of North Dakota’s—accounts for little more than 0.1% of the output of the European Union. But the repercussions of its currency troubles will reverberate in other countries in eastern Europe, and should act as a wake-up call for Europe’s policymakers.The bursting of the credit bubble hit Latvia harder than almost any other country. Years of boom, buoyed by cheap foreign-currency loans and a currency pegged to the euro, have turned to a spectacular bust. Over the past year Latvia’s economy has shrunk by almost a fifth and its jobless rate has risen to 17.4%. House prices are down by two-thirds from their peaks.There is no easy solution to Latvia’s mess. Whatever happens, its living standards will decline because real wages have to fall. But it must decide what to do about its currency.The government wants to keep the peg, as do a large majority of Latvians. But many investors are doubtful: despite a bail-out worth several billion euros from the European Union, the International Monetary Fund and others, rumours of devaluation abound. Many economists reckon Latvia is simply a replay of Argentina’s mess in 2001, when a quixotic effort to keep a pegged exchange rate ended in devaluation and default.

In theory the Latvians have several choices. First, they could let the lat float, as the Argentines did. But given how tiny and open Latvia’s economy is and its strong links to the euro zone, floating has never held much appeal—and it makes even less sense in the wake of the financial crisis. Just as other asset prices are prone to bubbles, currency markets cannot be relied upon to deliver the right exchange rate to stabilise economies. The past few months have also weakened the argument that Latvia must have a flexible currency because wages and prices are sticky in a downward direction. Both are now falling sharply (see article).Second, Latvia could devalue and re-peg against the euro at a lower rate. Advocates of devaluation argue that the scale of wage adjustment that Latvia needs is so huge that it will imply years of grinding recession unless the currency is weakened. They point to Britain and Italy, which abandoned their currency pegs in 1992—and then recovered quickly from recession. Devaluation would allow Latvia’s foreign-exchange reserves to go further and perhaps tempt back nervous investors.This argument has some merit. Close inspection, however, suggests that Latvia (and, by extension, other small economies in eastern Europe) has more to lose and less to gain than past European devaluers. Its chances of joining the euro—the ultimate prize for Latvian policymakers—would surely fall. The gains from competitiveness would not be immediate, whereas the burden of foreign-currency debt will rise straightaway. The best that can be said for devaluation is that it would hasten the default, and marking down, of much of Latvia’s private debt.Faced with these unpalatable options, Latvia is left to soldier on with its current peg. A better option would be for it to join the euro now, which would remove the premium Latvia pays for currency risk. Those within the euro area have an interest in Latvia’s financial stability, because default could damage the country’s neighbours and cause losses to banks throughout the continent. But they oppose any talk of Latvia joining until it has cleared the official hurdles for entry (which now seems impossibly far off).Euro-area countries have two fears. One is that a wave of fragile new members might weaken the commitment of the European Central Bank to low inflation. This worry is overblown. The ECB’s rate-setting council, already 22-strong, will eventually reach a ceiling beyond which voting rights would rotate among smaller members. There is more substance to the second fear: that rewarding trouble-prone economies like Latvia with euro entry will shorten the odds of a euro-zone fiscal crisis. At the moment, it is widely assumed that one country’s default would either cause the euro to break up, or would require a bail-out by other countries. What is urgently needed is an open discussion about how to handle an orderly debt restructuring within the euro zone—one that places the burden on the defaulting country and its creditors.

Towards a broader union
Preparing for this eventuality would make the existing euro area more resilient. It would also smooth the path to swifter membership for Latvia and other less troubled countries for which the euro club is so alluring. Even Milton Friedman, the most passionate advocate of flexible currencies, believed that currency union with a big steady neighbour was the best policy for small developing economies. The neighbours must find a way to make it work for them too.

Meet the father of world currency and his plan to destroy the US Dollar http://www.wnd.com/OCT 16,09

A plan to replace the dollar with a world currency originated with Columbia University economics professor Robert Mundell, who won a Nobel Prize in economics in 1999 for creating the euro and is now widely regarded as the father of the euro.
Mundell, currently an economic consultant to China, is the originator of the suggestion that the International Monetary Fund should utilize Special Drawing Rights, or SDRs, to replace the dollar as a new standard for holding foreign exchange reserves in international trade transactions.SDRs are international reserve assets calculated by the IMF in a basket of major currencies allocated to the IMF's 185 member nation-states in relation to the capital. The assets are largely in gold or widely accepted foreign currencies the members have on deposit with the IMF. As far back as June 2008, Mundell was telling Reuters a major dollar crisis would come within five years, and China was discussing with him proposals to reform the global monetary system. There's no doubt about it that inside the Chinese government there's a lot of discussion going on,Mundell told Reuters.I'm not sure how they're doing it, but I know they're going to get input from me.In the interview, Mundell went so far as to speculate the Chinese-recommended solution would involve the IMF.

Aspiring to be the father of a global currency, Mundell has argued, What you need to have is an International Monetary Fund that's going to take some of these excess dollars (such as held by China in foreign exchange reserves), put them into a substitution account inside the IMF or some other institution and then use that to create what is a new international currency.Mundell stressed to Reuters that such a proposal would be very acceptable to China.

Optimum currency areas

Mundell has argued for decades the proposition that nation-state currencies, including the dollar, need to give way to a new official world currency. According to Mundell, an optimal currency area" is best defined by international free-trade areas and regional markets, not by nation-states such as the United States of America.Mundell's argument was that nation-states are not optimal currency areas because nation-state borders are artificial constraints imposed on the globe to create ethnic or historical divisions that do not necessarily represent how international markets operate.To understand the concept, Mundell cites former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volker's frequently quoted dictum, A global economy needs a global currency.The benefits from a world currency would be enormous, Mundell argues on his website.

G20 votes to fund global currency

The G20 summit meeting in London last week, through the International Monetary Fund, took an important step to create a new global currency to replace the dollar as the world's foreign exchange reserve currency of choice.Appearing on Sean Hannity's Fox News Channel television show, political consultant Dick Morris and Hannity agreed the decision by the G20 proved the conspiracy theorists were right and there is now clear evidence of a plan to create a one-world currency.Point 19 of the final communiqué from the G20 summit in London April 2 specified, We have agreed to support a general SDR which will inject $250 billion into the world economy and increase global liquidity,taking the first steps forward to implement China's proposal that Special Drawing Rights at the IMF should be created as a foreign exchange currency to replace the dollar.I think the dollar is now under question, billionaire investor and political activist George Soros told CNBC, commenting that the goal was to create an IMF currency to use in international trade.

Obama deficits frighten China

China is clearly worried its massive holdings of U.S. dollars are at risk of devaluation, with the Obama administration projecting trillion-dollar deficits into the foreseeable future.At the beginning of this year, China's holdings of U.S. Treasury securities jumped to $739 billion, up dramatically from $535 billion in June 2008.On March 17, the Moscow Times published an article revealing the Kremlin attended to use the April G20 meeting in London to push for the IMF to utilize SDRs as a super-reserve currency widely accepted by the whole of the international community.Then, a few days later, on March 24, the Financial Times in London reported China's central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan has proposed to utilize SDRs issued by the IMF as a world reserve currency.The coincidence of the two announcements gave the impression Moscow and Beijing had coordinated their efforts to undermine the dollar.The G20 final communiqué gave the strong impression the meeting adopted China's proposal.China's proposal called for the IMF to issue at least $250 billion in SDRs to IMF-member states as a method of placing a safety net under developing countries that might otherwise have to declare bankruptcy.

International overdraft

As Red Alert previously reported, the proposal originally advanced by China and Russia would issue SDRs to central banks of IMF member states far in excess of any gold or currency reserves the member states have on deposit with the IMF.The idea is to utilize the little-understood and largely ignored SDR's in a new capacity, as a sort of an international overdraft facility made available to bankrupt or financially failing IMF members originated with Ted Turner, formerly a senior official at both the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury.The IMF created SDRs in 1969 to support the Bretton Woods fixed–exchange-rate system.The international supply of two key reserve assets – gold and the U.S. dollar – proved inadequate for supporting the expansion of world trade and financial development that was taking place,a a document on the IMF website explains. Therefore, the international community decided to create a new international reserve asset under the auspices of the IMF.When the Bretton Woods fixed-rate system collapse, major world currencies, including the dollar, shifted to a floating exchange rate system where the price of the dollar and other major world currencies was created by trading on international currency exchanges.Until the current global economic crisis, SDRs issued by the IMF have been used by IMF members primarily as a reserve account to support international trade transactions, not as an alternative international currency available to settle international debt transactions in danger of default.

Silly Madeline Albright denies then confirms Bilderberg attendance -Madeline Albright confronted on Bilderberg and New World Order Crimes including 9/11

Madeleine Albright was confronted and exposed as a New World Order shill by a coalition of WeAreChange activists from Ohio and Chicago.As the activists attempted to ask the former Secretary of State some probing questions, they were shoved and assaulted by Albright's entourage.Albright spoke at the Borders bookstore in Chicago on Wednesday,October 7th to flog her book and to propagandize the public.Albright, who is a Director of the Rockefeller/British-controlled Council on Foreign Relations, was told that the American people would not stand for another false flag attack like on 9/11.

Anthony from WeAreChange Ohio stepped up and asked Albright about her appearance at the 2008 Bilderberg conference in Chantilly, Virginia.At first, Albright lied and said that she was not at the meeting but eyewitnesses had videotaped her arrival at the secret gathering.When notified of this fact, she backpeddled and said that she went in to pick somebody up.Albright may be hesitant to admit her links to the Bilderberg Group because evidence has shown that the Bilderberg members intentionally
planned to crash the U.S. economy in order to consolidate their economic power. In the film The Obama Deception by Alex Jones,author Daniel Estulin stated at the 2006 conference that members of the Bilderberg Group admitted that the group was planning to manipulate the housing market, create oil price fluctuations, and ultimately crash the economy.Her attendance at the Bilderberg meeting would also be considered a
violation of the Logan Act, which prohibits U.S. citizens from interacting with a foreign government without the authority of the United States.Albright and her entourage seemed to think that she was only going to get puffball questions from a sycophantic public. Anthony of WeAreChange Ohio stated emphatically,it was very interesting as soon as I asked her about Bilderberg, they said You can't ask any
questions and shoved me away! Both Anthony and Steve of We Are Change Chicago were immediately removed once they begin to question Albright.

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not
discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield? There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - xxxxxxxxxxx t.

Israel's Growth Outpaces The World OCT 16,09
http://www.israelnationalnews.com

The Central Bureau of Statistics has released the latest population figures for Israeli cities and towns. Israel’s population as of June 30, 2009 stood at nearly 7.43 million – nearly three-quarters of a percent more than it was at the end of 2008. Some 623,000 people (8.4%) live in rural villages and towns of fewer than 2,000 residents.Israel's growth rate currently stands at an annual rate of approximately 1.5% - compared to 1.188% for the entire world in 2008.The ranking of Israel’s 20 largest cities did not change. Jerusalem is still the largest city, with a population of 769,400, followed by Tel Aviv (393,200), Haifa (265,300), Rishon LeTzion (226,500), and Ashdod (210,500).Jerusalem also grew by the largest amount – 5,800 people, just over three-quarters of a percent. It was followed by Petach Tikvah, Israel’s sixth-largest city, which added more than 2,000 more people (just over 1%) in the first half of 2009. The hareidi-religious city of Modi'in Illit, also known as Kiryat Sefer, jumped next-highest, by 1,800 people - a full 4.3% - to 43,500 people.Rounding out Israel's top ten cities are Be'er Sheva (up .032% in the first half of 2009), Netanya (.067), Holon (.064), and Bnei Brak (.091).

Only three cities dropped in population during the first half of 2009: Eilat, Tiberias, and Nazareth Illit, each by between 200 and 300 residents.Growth in Judea and Samaria, Israel’s fastest-growing regions, continued to surpass that of the rest of the country, but slightly less so. Beitar Illit grew during the first half of 2009 by 2.9%, to a population of 35,700 residents, and Beit El grew by 3.7% to a population of 5,600.Between 1995 and 2007, the population of Judea and Samaria grew by 107%, from 130,000 to 270,000 people - compared with 29% in the rest of the country. From 2005 until 2007, population growth in Judea and Samaria was three times higher than it was in the rest of Israel - 5% a year compared to 1.7%.

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.

3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

THE JUDGEMENT OF THE NATIONS

JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

DANIEL 12:8-13
8 And I (DANIEL) heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, (at the 3 1/2 yr mark of the 7 yr treaty) and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

MATTHEW 25:31-46
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Bibi, Lieberman Move to Squash Goldstone by Maayana Miskin OCT 16,09

(IsraelNN.com) Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman are both working hard to prevent the Goldstone Report from winning approval in Friday's vote at the United Nations Human Rights Council session in Geneva, but it appears the report -- which accuses Israel of committing war crimes in Gaza -- is likely to be endorsed nonetheless.Both Lieberman and Netanyahu have argued that by charging Israel's army with war crimes due to civilian deaths in a war on terrorists, the report would hamper attempts to fight terrorism and thus hurt the chances of achieving peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

Netanyahu began campaigning against the report in September, in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly. Terming the report a farce and accusing the UNHRC of “twisted standards,the prime minister warned,Only if we have the confidence that we can defend ourselves can we take further risks for peace.Netanyahu spoke with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon for several minutes this past Tuesday, and warned again that the report would harm the Israel-PA peace process. Ban told Netanyahu,I have recorded your position, but I cannot intervene.Lieberman met with several European representatives in the month of October and attempted to convince them to support Israel on Goldstone. However, in his meetings with French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, and Austrian Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger, Lieberman failed to convince his counterparts to vote against the adaptation of the report.Lieberman repeatedly warned foreign diplomats that if the Goldstone Report is accepted, other countries fighting terrorists will be at risk of facing war crimes charges as well. There is an attempt to compromise the democratic states' ability to defend themselves,he said in early October. Israel being the first one... Next the NATO forces in Afghanistan, then claims against Russia.

UNHRC Session on Occupied Territory in Swing
The U.N. Human Rights Council began a special session Thursday on “The human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory [Judea, Samaria and Gaza – ed.] and East Jerusalem.” High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, of South Africa, opened the meeting by accusing Israel of impinging on Muslims' freedom to worship by closing the Temple Mount to young Muslim men following violent riots.Pillay did not condemn the fact that the Temple Mount had been closed to all Jews and Christians for the same reason.She also accused Israel of violating international law by limiting the entrance of goods to Gaza via Israeli crossings in the Negev, and expressed support for the Goldstone Report.The PA joined in, accusing Israel of Judaizing Jerusalem and altering its cultural identity.Israel criticized the UNHRC session as unjustified, and explained that both the limitation on Temple Mount prayer and IDF counterterror measures in Gaza were necessary to prevent violence.

UN endorsement of anti-Israel report on Gaza war buries peace process
DEBKAfile Special Analysis October 16, 2009, 4:08 PM (GMT+02:00)

Binyamin Netanyahu - personal defeat-The UN Human Right Council's endorsement Friday, Oct. 16, sent the anti-Israel Goldstone war crimes report to the UN Security Council. It was approved by a majority of 25 of the 47 HRC members with 6 voting against, including the US, Israel, Holland and Italy, with 11 abstentions and France and the UK among the 5 nations who did not vote. Ultimately, this step could expose Israeli leaders to prosecution for war crimes.The UN body administered one of the most damaging blows Israel diplomacy has suffered in recent years, condemning Israel for alleged war crimes in its 22-day Gaza operation last January - but also for work in East Jerusalem such as archeological excavations.The damage was compounded by Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu's personal involvement in spearheading the campaign to have the report buried. Its endorsement has instead buried the stalled peace process between Israel and Palestinian Authority.In any case, Mahmoud Abbas refused to come to the negotiating table when challenged for the umpteenth time by President Barack Obama's special envoy George Mitchell in Ramallah last week, bringing the US president's entire Middle East peace venture tumbling down.

Netanyahu failed even to persuade French president Nicolas Sarkozy - described by President Shimon Peres as a great friend of Israel, and the British prime minister George Brown, with whom he had a heated telephone conversation Thursday night - to vote against the HRC motion.That neither was prepared to oppose Israel's condemnation for war crimes means that Jerusalem cannot count on their support for curbing Iran's drive for a nuclear weapon.While Abbas and his close circle celebrated their victory, Israel spokesmen tried to soften the blow by maintaining that the Goldstone report is not home and dry yet and it will not be permitted to be used against the US-led NATO war on terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq. However, no NATO nation has ever been hauled before a UN commission of inquiry or faulted by the world body for killing civilians. Israel's operation to protect its population against terrorists embedded in civilian locations was.Israel cannot be expected to sit down and talk to Abbas in this situation, even if the Palestinian leader were willing, which he is not. In any case he has lost the right to speak for his people.

DEBKAfile's Middle East sources note that the Palestinians have reached a point of no return, to which Washington and Jerusalem are turning a blind eye: Hamas has finally rejected any unity deal with Abbas' Fatah and thus blocked the formation of an agreed delegation for peace talks. The West Bank and Gaza Strip have parted for good: they are distinct Palestinian entities and Abbas' authority is recognized by less than half of his people in those territories. The hammer-blow from Geneva came at a bad time for Israel: Turkey has turned on the Jewish state tooth and claw. Israel finds itself up against the entire Arab world, even Egypt and Jordan, with whom it has signed peace treaties. It now finds itself abandoned by presumed friends Britain and France as well.

Israel outraged by UN Human Rights Council endorsement of controversial Goldstone report October 16, 2009, 4:08 PM (GMT+02:00)

Pointing the finger at Israel-The Goldstone report which condemned Israel and Hamas for war crimes in the January Gaza offensive, reserving special criticism for Israel, was carried by a majority of 25 of the 47-member Human Rights Council in Geneva Friday, Oct. 16. Six nations including the US, Italy, Holland and Israel voted against, 11 abstained and 5 members, including France and Britain, did not take part in the vote.Israel rejected the charges in the report and said the Human Rights Council resolution - drafted by the Palestinians with Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan and Tunisia, on behalf of non-aligned, African, Islamic and Arab nations - threatens peace efforts. Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu warned in advance that Israel would not be able to take risks for peace if it could not defend itself from attacks on its citizens. Israel's ambassador said embracing the report would encourage terrorists everywhere.The Palestinian Authority at first agreed to postpone the report's review until March, but then changed its mind when Mahmoud Abbas came under angry criticism by Palestinian extremists. The PA sought to have the endorsed report forwarded to the UN Security Council and ultimately lead to international proceedings against leaders of Israel's 22-day Gaza campaign for halting an eight-year Hamas missile blitz against population centers.The Goldstone report recommends referral of its conclusions to the International Criminal Court prosecutor in The Hague, if Israel and Hamas fail to conduct credible investigations within six months.

Turkey Turns To Islamic Alliance As It Conducts War Games With Syria
http://www.upi.com/ OCT 16,09

Syrian defense minister Gen. Ali Habib made the triumphant announcement: We held our first joint land military exercise (with Turkey) last spring. And today we have agreed to do a more comprehensive, a bigger one. He spoke at a ceremony declaring a free trade zone between the two countries and opening their borders for the passage of their citizens without visas. Present were the two foreign ministers, Ahmed Davutoglu and Walid Mualem.The next day, Today's Zaman provided Ankara's explanation for its last-minute decision to cancel Israeli participation in the annual multiple air maneuver with NATO under the caption: Delay in delivery of Herons behind drill crisis, not politics. A senior Turkish military source was quoted as saying:Israel has failed yet again to deliver the Israeli-made surveillance drones known as Herons to Turkey. Turkey needs those vehicles in its fight against terror. What led to the recent crisis between Turkey and Israel was the delay in delivery.The source said Ankara ordered 10 drones for $180 million and although the manufacturers, Israel's Elbit and the arms industry, rescheduled delivery dates, the Turkish military command does not believe they will keep to them.However, according to DEBKAfile's military sources, the Turkish generals are operating on two tracks: First, they are increasingly lining up with prime minister Tayyep Recip Erdogan's blatantly anti-Israel line, while at the same time hoping not to lose Israel as a source of advanced weapons and intelligence technology.

The Turkish military grievance against Israel as reported in Today's Zaman was meant to rebut an American rebuke. US State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Tuesday that as to the question of whether there was a government that was invited to participate and then removed at the last minute, we think it's inappropriate for any nation to be removed from an exercise like this at the last minute.Since last year, the Turkish military has been dodging between two conflicting tracks: Falling in line behind a government led by an Islamic party which is intent on developing close ties with Iran and Syria, while at the same time not giving up its longstanding profitable military interchanges with Israel.Turkey staged its first joint military drill with Syria seven months ago on April 27, with the participation of border patrol units. Then too Turkish generals first tried to allay Israeli apprehensions by claiming it was a small, insignificant event. But then on May 4, chief of staff Gen. Ilker Basbug declared that the collaboration was none of anybody's business.

Asked if Israel should be worried, the general snapped back: Why would it concern Israel? We will not ask for permission from anybody else to conduct such exercises.
Israeli officials withheld comment at the time hoping to preserve the traditional alliance with the Turkish army on a separate track from the Erdogan government's pursuit of extremist connections. By precipitating a full-blown crisis over Israel's participation in the multiple war game this October, Ankara has demonstrated that the two are no longer inseparable; the army is now completely under its heel.Monday and Tuesday of this week, the Turkish prime minister poured venom on Israeli air strikes against Hamas its January Gaza offensive and the murder of Palestinian children with phosphorus bombs - as yet another motive for cancelling Israel's participation in the air exercise.Neither prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu, defense minister Ehud Barak or foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman answered him. Instead, they had deputy foreign minister Danny Ayalon issue a mild statement that Israel-Turkish strategic relations were important and should be preserved.Unfortunately, those relations have flown out of the window with Israel's removal from the drill. DEBKAfile's Ankara sources stress that foreign minister Davutoglu is steering the Turkish government and army toward a broad new horizon after persuading Erdogan that the way to restoring Turkey to the regional primacy enjoyed by the Ottoman empire depended on its assuming leadership and mediation roles in the Middle East and Muslim world. For two years, Ankara tried to broker a Syrian-Israel peace accord and sought to act as go-between in the disputes between Afghanistan and Pakistan and Syria and Iraq.Erdogan is not deterred by every single Turkish mediation effort running aground, a fact which his hostility to Israel is designed to mask.

Russia launches new Mideast arms push in Libya OCT 16,09
http://www.upi.com/

Russia's state arms exporter is launching a big drive at the Tripoli air show to sell combat jets, missiles and air-defense systems to Middle Eastern states, including the state-of-the-art S-400 Triumf surface-to-air missile that Iran and Syria desperately want to acquire.But the Russians are likely to find considerable competition at the 4th Arab-African Aviation Exhibition and Conference, known as LAVEX-2009, in the Libyan capital that opened Monday.The four-day arms fair is likely to attract major international defense companies that are falling over themselves to upgrade Libya's long-neglected military as well as supply the Middle East, the largest arms market in the developing world.But the Russian arms exporter, Rosoboronexport, will also find keen interest in its wares by the Libyan government.

The Libyan leader, Col. Moammar Gadhafi, is miffed that he has not had the access to U.S. arms companies he had expected after he abandoned his clandestine nuclear arms program in 2003 in a high-profile gesture of reconciliation with the international community following decades of isolation.U.N. trade sanctions that blocked U.S. and Western companies from dealing with Libya were not lifted until 2004, and Washington did not restore full diplomatic relations with Tripoli -- and remove it from its terrorism blacklist -- until 2006.In the meantime, Gadhafi has turned to Russia and France for his arms requirements.Gadhafi, who last month marked his 40th year in power, also angered the United States by securing the Aug. 20 release from a Scottish prison of a former intelligence agent convicted for the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am jumbo jet over Scotland that killed 270 people. The Libyan leader was harshly criticized for giving the former agent, Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, a rapturous hero's welcome when he arrived back in Tripoli aboard a presidential jet.For Gadhafi, Megrahi's release on compassionate grounds -- he has terminal cancer -- gave him a powerful platform to demonstrate his ability to defy the West and win domestic and regional plaudits.So the Russians may find considerable interest in their weapons systems, at a time when Moscow is driving to boost its ailing defense industry and to regain the influence it had in the Middle East and North Africa during the Cold War.

Algeria, Syria, Yemen and Sudan were key defense clients until the collapse of communism in 1991. Iran, once a U.S. ally, is now an important purchaser of Russians arms, and Arab states, even U.S.-oriented Saudi Arabia, are showing interest in Russians weapons systems.The reason behind the interest being shown by the Saudis, who have reputedly offered Moscow to buy arms worth $2 billion, is primarily political rather than military. Riyadh wants to use that inducement to persuade Russian not to sell Iran advanced air-defense systems that would protect its controversial nuclear sites.The Russians say they are confident that these deals will go through, but if the United States and Iran can find a diplomatic solution to the nuclear issue, Riyadh may not be so keen to go ahead with such arms deals.Still, Moscow has delivered arms worth $2.5 billion to the United Arab Emirates and $1 billion to Kuwait in recent years. Rosoboronexport officials say regional states have shown interest in Russian arms, including the twin-engined Sukhoi Su-35 fighter. It's equipped with weapons systems capable of engaging several air targets simultaneously.It also carries the new Irbis-E radar, which allows the pilot to detect and track up to 30 air targets while engaging eight of them at one time with its 30mm cannon and eight tons of missiles.Moscow hopes to export at least 160 Su-35s to Algeria and other countries. Such exports are vital for keeping Russian production lines going to supply Russia's military forces. But all eyes are likely to be on the S-400 Triumf -- NATO designation SA-21 Growler -- which can intercept and destroy at a range of up to 250 miles and engage six targets at once. Iran and Syria want advanced air-defense systems to protect their strategic installations against possible U.S. or Israeli attacks, largely aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear facilities.But U.S. and Israeli pressure on Moscow has so far blocked the sale of the S-300 system, forerunner of the S-400, which would make any airstrikes far more costly than they would be at this time.

In Canada, church clings to relevancy as congregations dwindle OCT 16,09
http://www.nationalpost.com/

For 41 years, the Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes church was like a second home to George Laplante. The Catholic church, which dates to 1873, was his spiritual foundation; the congregation, an extended family. Now, Mr. Laplante, 68, is facing a harsh truth. It is sad, it is too bad, but that's the reality of life,he says of news that his Ottawa church will close by the end of this year.The parishioners who go there cannot keep it going. Our church is fairly old. It is a big monument to look after. There's not enough of us to sustain it.Mr. Laplante has attended Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes for 41 years. I raised my kids in that church. Now it is me and my wife. I have to get used to going to another place.What's happening at Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes-de-Cyrville is a symptom of a larger malaise. Shrinking congregations and spiralling costs are fuelling the decline of the traditional church.Father Daniel Berniquez, episcopal vicar of the French sector of the Ottawa archdiocese, says churches that once drew 400 to 500 people now attract about 40.

Fifty years ago, most people went to church,says Mr. Berniquez.But that reality has changed. There's less people going to church. It is true for the Catholic church, but it is also true of other denominations.During the past two years, about 20 churches of various denominations have closed or are slated to close in the area around Ottawa and Gatineau, Que.Across the country, the United States and Europe, changing demographics, shifting values and growing secularism are taking a toll.In a British report published two years ago, an independent organization called Christian Research said thousands of churches are closing for lack of practising Christians. It said more churches are closing than opening. In a warning to church leaders, it predicted that by 2040, 18,000 churches in England will close.Closer to home, experts say Quebec -- where the Catholic Church once called the shots in public and private life -- stands to lose about half of its 2,000 churches by 2016. As the mainstream religions wither, the evangelical and Pentecostal denominations are packing in millions of worshippers who seem to have discovered a new path to God.

While the traditional church is still the dominant player in Canada, experts say it must adapt or it will become irrelevant, or die.For Catholicism to rely strictly on tradition as though it were bricks at a construction site that you hand over from person to person and generation to generation, that's dead,says Christophe Potworowski, the Kennedy Smith chair of Catholic studies at McGill University. There has to be an examination of conscience to see if the church is doing something wrong. A tremendous amount of flexibility in responding to changing circumstances is required.Father Luc Tardis, rector of the Saint Paul University seminary, agrees.
Traditional religion has to modify its relationship with the public and with cultural life, Mr. Tardis says.He notes that not everyone thinks churches respond to their needs or sensitivities. The big issue is: How much creativity can we bring in to become more relevant for people? The numbers show that Canadians have been fleeing the church for decades. In the mid-1940s, about 67% of adult Canadians attended church weekly.By 1985, the number had plunged to 30%. In 2005, the number hit 20%. In 2006, a Canwest News Service poll found that 17% of Canadians attend church at least once a week, even though about half of those surveyed said they believe in God.More worrying for churches is the number of young Canadians who are turning their back. In a sweeping study last year by renowned Canadian sociologist Reg Bibby, 47% of the teenagers surveyed said they never go to church. Another 20% said they hardly ever go,while 21% said they go weekly.Experts are quick to caution that it does not mean Canadians have given up on faith.

Potworowski suggests it instead reflects a rejection of organized religion.Mr. Tardis agrees, but says underlying it all, is a seismic shift in mentality, spirit and values. People now will say, I am spiritual but not religious. They will say,I have my own relationship with God and that's it. They have no need or desire to live the religious experience with others, as was the case before.Unlike today's generation, the early European immigrants, who built many of the churches, found strength and purpose in religion. Attending church on Sunday was a time-honoured tradition. They showed their faith by filling the pews and emptying their pockets.As older generations passed on, they left behind gaps in the pews and fault lines in church foundations. Their children drifted from the church as values changed, fortunes improved and new interests took hold. Immigration patterns were also changing: A majority of new arrivals were from Asia, the Middle East and Africa, and they practised Islam, Hinduism and Sikhism -- religions that have grown exponentially.But while traditional churches struggle, new ones are thriving because they've shed rigid dogmas and proclaimed, in the words of one pastor, that the church should be a hospital for the hurting, not a museum for saints.Mr. Tardis says Pentecostals can teach the Old Church a thing or two. There is a quality of fraternity, spirit of community and warmth that is very attractive,he says.They have a spiritual fervour, a kind of zeal and passion for God that is expressed in a very charismatic and spontaneous manner, and it pleases people.Three years ago, many in Cornwall, Ont., shed tears as a shrinking congregation forced the closure of the city's only synagogue. Synagogues in nearby Massena and Malone had closed for similar reasons.Ottawa Rabbi Reuven Bulka of the Congregation Machzikei Hadas says membership in city synagogues has remained steady, growing fractionally in some cases.The problem facing the established religions -- Christian, Jewish or Muslim -- is that fixed costs in buildings and maintenance, are growing faster than congregations can sustain.Somewhere down the road, because you are not getting enough to pay your fixed costs, you fall into a deficit, which is why, unfortunately, some of the church buildings are closing,Mr. Bulka says.This is not the death knell of religion but clearly we have challenges.

DUBLIN (AFP) – Ireland completed its ratification of the EU's Lisbon Treaty, intensifying the pressure on the Czech Republic to overcome its objections and become the final member state to pass the treaty.Irish President Mary McAleese announced she had signed a special legal instrument following a Yes vote in this month's referendum.A statement from the president's office said she had signed the Twenty-Eighth Amendment of the Constitution (Treaty of Lisbon) Bill 2009.In a second referendum on October 2, Ireland voted by 67 percent to 33 percent to ratify the treaty, overturning a shock No vote in June 2008 which left the European Union in limbo.Ireland is the only EU country constitutionally obliged to put the treaty -- which is designed to streamline decision-making in the 27-nation bloc -- to a referendum.Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen agreed to hold another poll after securing guarantees from its EU partners on the Catholic country's abortion ban, its military neutrality and its tax-setting rights.

But economic factors appear to have been the main factor in the minds of voters.

In this year's campaign, the government warned voters against rejecting the treaty at a time when Ireland needs help from its European partners to recover from a deep recession.The treaty must be ratified by all member states, but Czech President Vaclav Klaus has insisted he will not drop his objections to the document despite mounting pressure from the rest of the bloc.On Thursday, Czech Prime Minister Jan Fischer said his cabinet and Klaus were in talks about securing an opt-out from the treaty to prevent ethnic Germans forced out of the country after World War II from reclaiming their property.

Europe unwilling to condemn Israel for war crimes at UN
LEIGH PHILLIPS Today OCT 16,09 @ 17:29 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - While the United Nations Human Rights Council on Friday endorsed a scorching report that accuses both Israel and Hamas of war crimes during the Jewish state's bombardment of the Gaza Strip at the turn of the year, European countries on the council opposed the resolution or abstained from the vote after heavy diplomatic pressure from Tel Aviv.A total of 25 states on the council backed a report produced by a UN fact-finding team led by South African judge Richard Goldstone, the chief prosecutor of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda.The US and five European countries opposed the resolution while eleven mainly European and African states abstained. Britain and France meanwhile declined to vote, not wanting to be seen to be attacking Israel while at the same time not wishing to be seen as ignoring the suffering Palestinians underwent during Operation Cast Lead.In the last few days, Israel, which accuses the document of being biased, has engaged in a furious round of diplomacy attempting to win over the European states that sit on the council to opposed the resolution.It is understood that UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown talked to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for some time this morning.Defence minister Ehud Barack spoke to the foreign ministers of France, Britain, Spain and Norway ahead of the vote and brought up the issue with Czech Prime Minister Jan Fisher when he was in Prague.The democratic nations of the world must understand that adopting the report will cripple their ability to deal with terror organizations, and terror in general,he told the ministers, according to Israeli daily Haaretz.The resolution had urged an endorsement of the report, which recommends prosecution by the International Criminal Court in the Hague, should Hamas and Israel fail to conduct their own investigations into the events surrounding Israel's Operation Cast Lead.

On Thursday after meeting with Spanish leader Jose Luis Zapatero, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: Responsible nations have to vote against this decision that supports terror and harms peace.The 575-page document now moves on to the UN General Assembly and the Security Council, where it is likely that the US will veto any resolution that seeks to refer Israel to the International Criminal Court.Mr Goldstone himself said he had been disappointed with the form of the resolution, which only looked at Israel's alleged wrongdoings and none of those that Hamas is accused of perpetrating.The report says that Israel used using disproportionate force, deliberately targeted civilians and destroyed civilian infrastructure, while Hamas was found to have deliberately targeted civilians as well through its rocket attacks.

THIS IS INTERESING THE EU DICTATOR WILL OVERTHROW 3 OF THE FIRST EU COUNTRIES TO JOIN THE REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE.NOTICE HERE BELGIUM THE NETHERLANDS AND LUXUMBERG (BENELUX,THE ORIGINAL 3 NATIONS TO JOIN THE EU ARE ALL AGAINST BLAIR AS THE PERMANANT PRESIDENT.....LOOKOUT PROPHECY COULD BE FULFILLED BY THESE 3 COUNTRIES GETTING BOOTED OUT.BUT THE 3 I BELIEVE WILL GET THE BOOT ARE GERMANY WILL BE WITH RUSSIA,MUSLIMS,IRELAND AND DENMARK FOR ALWAYS BEING A PAIN AGAINST THE EU RULES.

Opposition Grows to Tony Blair's Bid for E.U. President By Catherine Mayer / London Thursday, Oct. 15, 2009-Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is a front runner for the E.U. presidency

Here's a riddle: What unites French Socialists and British Conservatives, brings feminists together with the editors of prurient tabloid newspapers and gives shared purpose to a clutch of small European countries and more than 37,000 signatories to an online petition? Answer: Tony Blair. Across Europe, natural adversaries and strange bedfellows are finding common purpose in their efforts to stop Britain's former Prime Minister from assuming the role popularly known as president of Europe.

When Ireland and Poland ratified the Lisbon Treaty earlier this month, that left only Czech President Vaclav Klaus holding out against the document that is designed to re-engineer the European Union's institutions to better match the realities of its expanded membership. Once Klaus signs the treaty — frantic efforts are afoot to try to persuade him to do so — the E.U. can start its highest-level executive-recruitment search to date. The treaty would create two top E.U. jobs: president of the European Council and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, effectively the E.U.'s foreign minister. Blair is seen as front runner for the presidency.You might think Blair's international cachet would be cause for British hearts to swell with pride, but some of his most bitter opponents are homegrown. Opinion polls point to an expected Conservative victory in British parliamentary elections in May 2010, and the Tories will campaign on a Euroskeptic platform that has already seen them withdraw from the main Conservative grouping in the European Parliament to cobble together an anti-federalist alternative. They dislike the idea of a high-profile, high-powered E.U. president such as Blair, who would surely increase the influence of Brussels. But many Tories also feel personal animus toward the politician whose electoral success consigned them to the wilderness for so long.Having President Blair would put us in a state of permanent warfare if we won the election. I cannot stress how serious this is,an unnamed Tory source recently told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper.Not all Blair's opponents are on the right. As Prime Minister, he drew criticism from across the political spectrum for appearing too presidential and making decisions with scant regard for Parliament or the Cabinet. He and his wife Cherie also gained a reputation for enjoying the trappings of power. When Blair's name was linked with the European presidency, national tabloids rechristened the pair Boney Blair and Cherie Antoinette after those high-handed continentals Napoleon Bonaparte and Marie Antoinette.

More damaging to Blair's prospects is the enduring anger over Blair's cheerleading for the invasion of Iraq. When the latest inquiry into the war consulted with families of dead troops this week, a group of relatives called for Blair to be indicted as a war criminal. Blair's determination to stand shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. on Iraq curdled public opinion outside Britain too. François Hollande, the former first secretary of the French Socialist Party, has dismissed the idea of a Blair candidacy. The first president of Europe, he said, should be politically autonomous from the U.S.Philippe Moreau Defarges, European affairs specialist for the French Institute of International Relations, sees Iraq as the first strike against Blair. But he also believes that Britain's history of semi-detachment from the E.U. rules him out.The very candidacy of Mr. Blair is a slap in the face for Europe, given his action regarding the Iraq war, the very strong positions he's taken to counter prevailing European objectives during E.U. construction and the U.K.'s own habit of participating only in those E.U. projects it wants to be involved with,says Moreau Defarges.I'm not calling into question the honor or qualities of Tony Blair as a man, but as a politician he's one of the last people who should be considered as president of Europe. It makes no sense.The Benelux countries — the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg — argue that Britain's failure to adopt the euro as its currency rules it out of claiming the top job for one of its nationals. Alternative candidates include a brace of Premiers: Jan Peter Balkenende from the Netherlands, François Fillon from France and Jean-Claude Juncker from Luxembourg. With the presidencies of the E.U. Commission and European Parliament already held by men, another figure gaining support is the former Irish President Mary Robinson. E.U. Commission Vice President Margot Wallström, a Swede, is not openly campaigning for Robinson but has a link on her personal Facebook profile to a campaign for Robinson set up by Facebook users.

Blair does have his supporters. Tony Blair has all the right credentials,wrote Italy's embattled leader Silvio Berlusconi in a letter to an Italian newspaper on Wednesday. Ireland's former Premier Bertie Ahern also says that Blair should get the job.Tony's a good friend of mine, and I'd like to see him get it if he really wants it. I'm positive that he does,Ahern tells TIME, adding,Tony is not going to walk into this without a lot of stuff going on in the background. There will be games going on.Indeed there will. France's President, Nicolas Sarkozy, is Blair's most persuasive champion, and the Italians, Poles and Spanish are also on board. But two things could still scupper Blair's chances when the E.U. horse-trading begins: a coalition of small countries coalescing around an alternative candidate or a nein from German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the leader of Europe's largest economy. Westminster insiders say Merkel will back Blair, though without enthusiasm. A German government source is more nuanced.The Chancellor worked well with [Blair] during the 2007 German E.U. presidency when the Lisbon Treaty was sealed. But of course, she worked well with others too.The presidential race isn't over until the E.U.'s undisputed heavyweight sings.— With reporting by Bruce Crumley / Paris

Sarkozy suggests Blair EU presidency problematic
HONOR MAHONY Today OCT 16,09 @ 09:23 CET

French president Nicolas Sarkozy has indicated that British ex-prime minister Tony Blair may not be acceptable as a future president of the European Council because the UK remains outside the eurozone.Mr Blair is most consistently mentioned as a contender for the post, which is contained in the Lisbon Treaty, a new institutional rule book the EU is hoping to soon put into force.But Mr Sarkozy, who originally brought Mr Blair's name into the discussion, now appears to be backing away from him.

When asked by French daily Le Figaro whether Mr Blair is a good candidate for the job, Mr Sarkozy said:It is too early to say. There will be a discussion on it. There are two ideas on this: Should there be a strong and charismatic president or a president who facilitates finding a consensus and who organises the work [of the European Council]Personally I believe in a Europe that is politically strong and embodied by a person. But the fact that Great Britain is not in the euro remains a problem.Sixteen of the 27 member states are members of the eurozone. Mr Sarkozy does not elaborate on whether eurozone membership is a general consideration when the president of the European Council post comes up for a discussion.Of the 11 countries not sharing the common currency, most are central and eastern European states, including Poland, as well as Denmark, Sweden and the UK.The new presidency post is set to be agreed as part of a general package that includes the new EU foreign minister post, and the new line-up in the European Commission, whose mandate expires at the end of the month.The new posts are part of the Lisbon Treaty which is awaiting final ratification in the Czech Republic before it can come into force across the European Union. The posts contain overlapping functions and are expected to be defined by the first people who hold them. Mr Blair has been an apparent frontrunner for several months. His supporters say he will bring charisma and political strength to the job and give Europe a strong international face.His detractors point to his support of the Iraq war, his relatively weak performance as Middle East envoy and the fact that he comes from a member state that does not take part in key EU policies.Paris' apparent change of heart on the Blair candidacy as well as Berlin's lukewarm stance on the idea make it hard to see how the former British leader will get the post.

Mr Sarkozy also used the Le Figaro interview to threaten Czech president Vaclav Klaus, who is holding out against signing the Lisbon Treaty.He called Mr Klaus' stance unacceptable adding decision time is coming for him and it will not be without consequence. And whatever happens, this issue will be resolved by the end of the year.Although there is exasperation in other capitals at Mr Klaus' stance, other leaders have been reluctant to openly criticise the Czech President for fear that he can make a play on Prague being isolated and bullied to bolster support among ordinary Czechs.

UK delays EU rules on temporary workers
ANDREW WILLIS Today OCT 16,09 @ 09:10 CET

The UK has decided to delay implementation of the EU's Agency Workers Directive until October 2011, a mere two months before the December deadline. The decision was announced by the government's business department on Thursday (15 October) as part of a raft of measures to cut the cost of regulation faced by British businesses. The law will come into force in the UK in October 2011, giving recruiters and their clients time to prepare and plan,said UK business minister Pat McFadden.We are also mindful of the need to avoid changing requirements on business until the economic recovery is more firmly established,he added.Once enforced, the EU directive will give temporary workers – numbered at roughly 1.3 million in the UK - the same rights as full-time staff in many areas, such as equal pay after 12 weeks of work.UK businesses had been lobbying the government for months to delay implementation of the rules, and welcomed the news following its announcement.The government is sending out a positive message to business,David Frost, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, said in a statement.Small businesses consistently report that new employment legislation is the area of red tape that is most harmful to growth.Unions however described the development as extremely disappointing. Agency workers are even more in need of protection during a recession. Vulnerable workers are always the first to suffer when times are hard,said Brendan Barber, general secretary of the Trades Union Congress.

Signs of emerging from recession

Several other measures are to be delayed or chopped entirely under the UK government's pledge to cut the annual cost of red tape by £6.5 billion (€7.1bn) by 2015.New regulations to give workers the right to request time off for training will also be delayed for smaller employers until 2011.The UK is currently showing signs of emerging from recession, but the jobs market remains extremely difficult with the country's unemployed currently at 2.5 million and rising.Many businesses, on the other hand, are struggling to secure badly needed funds from banks with stricter lending criteria.Thursday's announcement is seen as an attempt by the ruling Labour Party to improve strained ties with the business community ahead of next year's general election.The opposition Conservative Party recently pledged to streamline red tape for businesses, if elected.

EU group of three to attack Kosovo statehood at UN court
ANDREW RETTMAN AND EKREM KRASNIQI Today OCT 16,09 @ 17:00 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Three EU states will in a UN court case in December argue that Kosovo's 2008 declaration of independence was illegal. But EU officials say the judges' decision will not impact Kosovo's irreversible new status.Spain, Romania and Cyprus will join Serbia and Russia in giving anti-Kosovo depositions during hearings from 1 to 11 December at the UN's top legal body, the International Court of Justice in The Hague.The legal challenge - on the Accordance with International Law of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence by the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government of Kosovo - was brought by Serbia, which continues to fight against the secession of its former province. An EU report out this week criticised Serbia for creating parallel structures and sponsoring by-elections in Serb-controlled parts of Kosovo in attempts to undermine Pristina's authority. Spain, Romania and Cyprus together with Slovakia and Greece declined to recognise Kosovo's independence last year. But the group of three's involvement in The Hague procedure marks a shift from passive to active resistance against Kosovo statehood.With Germany, France, the UK, the Netherlands and the US set to make pro-Kosovo statements at the UN hearings, the verdict, which is expected in early 2010, could go either way.The ruling is in any case to have a purely advisory force. It will not influence in a technical sense Kosovo's bid to get a seat in the United Nations. But it will give political ammunition to either Pristina or Belgrade in an ongoing confrontation in a still hot part of Europe.

A positive opinion would have a huge positive impact on the unfortunately still fragile stability of our region,Kosovo parliament speaker Jakup Krasniqi told EUobserver.It would also support those nations that would one day like to see Kosovo become a full member of the wonderful family called the European Union.EU institutions are unwilling to criticise Spain, Romania or Cyprus' involvement in the UN case.EU foreign relations chief Javier Solana is one of the main architects of Kosovo's independence. But the question touches on sensitive areas of national interest, such as Spain's handling of Basque separatists or Cyprus' relations with the Turkish-controlled part of its island.It's not an EU competence in any way. The important thing is that there is unity inside the EU on moving forward with practical matters, such as the EU's rule of law mission in Kosovo,one of Mr Solana's officials said.

Facts on the ground

The idea that Serbia or Russia can at this stage roll back Kosovo's statehood is anathema to the EU.The states of the International Steering Group have said that they see Kosovo's independence as irreversible. So I don't think, realistically, that things can go backwards for Kosovo,Andy McGuffie, a spokesman for the ICO, the political wing of the EU's mission to Kosovo, told this website. The International Steering Group is a club of 25 countries formed in February 2008 to help put Kosovo on its feet. The roll-call of members includes 20 EU states plus Croatia, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey and the US.The EU has since the birth of Kosovo argued that its statehood is a sui generis unique case which cannot be used as a model for other breakaway entities.But the cost of its support for Kosovo can be seen in Georgia, where Russia has applied similar arguments of facts on the ground to try to establish separatist forces in the Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions as independent countries.To date recognised by Russia, Nicaragua and Venezuela only, the Abkhaz and South Ossetian cause is beginning to get a foothold in the US establishment. In an editorial decision that would have been hard to imagine one year ago, leading US newspaper The Washington Post on Friday (16 October) published an op-ed by Abkhaz leader Sergei Bagapsh, which quoted him as President in a statement entitled Abkhazia will succeed.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

LUKE 4:5-7(BECAUSE SATAN OFFERS WORLD POWER, WORLD ORDERERS HAVE ACCEPTED SATANS GIFT)
5 And the devil, taking him (JESUS) up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

REVELATION 17:3,7,9-10,12,18
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

The Teutonic Origins of the New World Order Jurriaan Maessen Infowars
October 15, 2009

According to a recent poll held in the Netherlands, sympathy for the royal family is in serious decline. Immediate reason for the waning of warmth for the bluebloods is a questionable building project of luxurious holiday villas undertaken by the prince of Orange in the impoverished state of Mozambique. Another reason for the decline, say the pollsters, is an increasing unease about the family’s financial ethics or, rather, lack thereof. Not only are they in the habit of paying little or no taxes, they annually scoop bucket loads of cash from the treasury.Beatrix, the Queen regnant of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Dutch are growing weary of the monarchy.Although these matters are indeed worthy of indignation, the real scope of their wealth and power meanwhile remains hidden behind close doors. It is a certain kind of psyop, to ‘expose’ some small misdoing, with the intention of keeping the greater misdoings in the dark. This way, public misgivings can be satisfied while shielding the bluebloods involved from the kind of outrage that would ensue if it would learn of their actual dealings. The public outrage is being concentrated on trifles, instead on, say, the annual chairmanship of the Bilderberg Conferences by members of the Dutch (and Belgian) royal family and their contributions to the New World Order.

Consider the case of the Belgian king Leopold II. In the last days of his reign, he was decried for having his way with a child. Concentrating on this vile crime, made sure that the even greater crime was obscured. Besides ravishing an innocent child for his royal pleasure, this piece of filth acquired the Congo from some fellow fiend, only to enslave the entire indigenous population, subjecting them to mass murder and starvation. In the process he robbed the natural resources of the land. When he was finished with the Congo, Leopold left a pile of dead behind consisting of somewhere between 8 and 30 million people.Now that the people are criticizing the Dutch royals for their pet projects overseas, it nevertheless presents us with an excellent opportunity to raise some real issues. The real outrage being that the Dutch royal family belongs to a network of distant and not so distant relatives bent on destroying sovereignty worldwide. If their loyalty lies anywhere, it emphatically does not lie with the nation-state they happen to rule at any one time. And it certainly is no coincidence that these lands happened to be economic strongholds of old, opening up all kinds of trading possibilities for them.The truth that they attempt to carefully keep quiet is that the Dutch royal house, like all others festering over the European continent, stems from inbred alliances forged mainly in medieval Germany. The German house of Nassau was established way back in the dirty depths of the dark ages, later on aligning itself with the house of Orange- a rather obscure princedom in the south of France but with strong German ties. As the website of the Dutch monarchy explains:The links between the House of Nassau and the Netherlands date back to 1403 (…).From this alliance sprang the current house of Orange-Nassau. And from its conception the members fanatically married into other existing nobility from the Teutonic hinterland. Consider the Prussian prince Bernhard, founder of the Bilderberg group, who wormed his way into the Dutch royal family before the Second World War, injecting it with even more Prussian blood than it had been before. Also, current queen Beatrix’ late husband, Claus von Amsberg, was of German noble descent.

The same principle applies to the British royal family. The official website of the British monarchy readily admits the name of ‘Windsor’ was an invention out of the First World War to mask the German name of old: Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.King George V, the website proclaims,replaced the German-sounding title with that of Windsor during the First World War. The name Saxe-Coburg-Gotha survived in other European monarchies (…).The other monarchies the text is referring to, consist mainly of German houses. The Belgium monarchy traced its roots back to the very same house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Although well documented, the official Belgian website of the royals says nothing of any German ancestry. The lack of information on their website is richly compensated by the Wikipedia entrance, destroying any questions that might linger on the subject:On 4 June (1831), Leopold of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was designated King of the Belgians by the National Congress (…). To date all (Kings of the Belgians) have belonged to the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.History reveals it is mostly by blood that the genealogy of power is secured throughout the ages. And all those unrelated to the head snakes, have been royally approved to do evil in their name. A cast of sociopaths commanding a tribe of psychopaths.Every single European nation has had its own private family dealing out the cards within her borders, whether it is the Oranges in Holland or the Windsors in England. If nation-states are cobwebs, than the bluebloods are the arachnids pulling all the strings. Teutonic royals overthrow sovereign nations by accumulating economic, political and military power. Always avoiding open confrontations, they seek to subdue nations quietly from within by robbing their natural resources. The double-headed eagle descended upon all lands, it seems, raising up a nationalistic façade to deflect suspicion, but shielding their own dark designs toward the dismembering of all liberty: an extraordinarily old and successful formula which has now been projected to the entire globe.

Strong 6.1-magnitude quake strikes Indonesia: geologists Thu Oct 15, 3:30 pm ET

JAKARTA (AFP) – A strong 6.1-magnitude quake struck off Indonesia's Sulawesi island Friday, seismologists said, but there were no immediate reports of damage and no tsunami warning was issued.The quake struck at 2:33 am (1833 GMT Thursday) at sea 216 kilometres (134 miles) northeast of (19 degrees) of Baubau, in the southeast Sulawesi region at a shallow depth of 10 kilometres, the US Geological Survey said.

Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire,where the meeting of continental plates causes high volcanic and seismic activity.A 7.6-magnitude earthquake jolted the country last month, killing 1,115 people and leaving an estimated half a million homeless.An expert predicted this week a colossal earthquake may hit Indonesia within 30 years, triggering a tsunami and making last month's deadly quake look tiny by comparison.Kerry Sieh, director of the Earth Observatory of Singapore, said the next big quake would last more than six times as long as the 7.6 magnitude quake which struck western Sumatra on September 30, leveling the city of Padang.A massive tsunami hit Indonesia and other countries in the Indian Ocean rim in 2004, killing about 220,000 people, most of them in Aceh province in northern Sumatra.

Colossal quake may hit Sumatra within 30 years: geologist Thu Oct 15, 12:08 pm ET

SINGAPORE (AFP) – A colossal earthquake may hit Indonesia's Sumatra island within 30 years, triggering a tsunami and making last month's deadly temblor look tiny by comparison, a geologist has warned.Kerry Sieh, director of the Earth Observatory of Singapore, said the next big quake would last more than six times as long as the 7.6 magnitude quake which struck western Sumatra on September 30, leveling the city of Padang.We expect it will be about a magnitude 8.8, plus or minus say 0.1, Sieh, an American professor, said at a presentation late Wednesday at the Nanyang Technological University, where the observatory is located.He said last month's Sumatra quake lasted about 45 seconds.This one'll last about five minutes,Sieh said."This 7.6 is very, very small, minuscule compared to the great earthquakes.The official death toll reached 1,115 on Wednesday but many more are feared dead after villages were turned into mass graves. Around 100,000 houses are estimated to have been destroyed, leaving about half a million people homeless.Based on historical earthquake trends from geological analysis of coral specimens from the region, last month's quake was just a precursor, Sieh said.Likening the pressures under the affected fault to a coiled spring, Sieh said the recent quake had really very little effect in terms of relieving the spring which will unleash pent-up energy possibly within the next 30 years.If you're a parent who has a child, you have to expect that child's going to experience that earthquake and the tsunami,he added.A massive tsunami hit Indonesia and other countries in the Indian Ocean rim in 2004, killing about 220,000 people, most of them in Aceh province in northern Sumatra.

Tropical Storm Rick could be hurricane by Friday OCT 15,09

MIAMI – Forecasters say Tropical Storm Rick is quickly gaining strength off Mexico's western coast, and it could become a hurricane by Friday.On Thursday night, the storm was centered about 345 miles (555 kilometers) south-southeast of Acapulco, on the southern tip of the Baja peninsula.The storm's top sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 kph). Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami say the system could strengthen into a hurricane.The storm is moving to the west-northwest near 9 mph (15 kph).A five-day track of the storm shows it should stay off Mexico's coast.

Winter forecast: Warmer West, North; cooler South By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer – Thu Oct 15, 3:52 pm ET

WASHINGTON – The Midwest and Northern United States are likely to get a warmer winter, while the Southeast can expect just the opposite: cooler and wetter conditions.In Thursday's winter outlook, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says an El Nino weather event — warming in parts of the Pacific that affects weather worldwide — will be a major player in America's winter temperatures.

Forecasters predict warmer than usual temperatures would reach a swath from Washington to Michigan, dipping south to central New Mexico. Alaska also has a higher chance of warmer temperatures.They also say cooler temperatures are expected from southern Texas to the Mid-Atlantic and in Hawaii.Other places, such as the Northeast and California, can go any which way on temperatures.Overall, slightly more than half the nation by area will be warmer than normal, but when it comes to where most people live, about half the population is likely to have warmer weather and the other half cooler, said Mike Halpert, deputy director of NOAA's Climate Prediction Center.The El Nino will play a big role in helping some drought-parched regions, Halpert said. Forecasters said there is a significantly higher probability of wetter winters for Texas, Florida and California and the southern parts of New Mexico, Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.

Hawaii, the Pacific Northwest and part of the Midwest from Michigan to Arkansas are more likely to be drier than normal because of fewer storms across the Appalachian Mountains, Halpert said.Halpert said the El Nino is currently weak but forecast to strengthen to a moderate-sized weather variation in the next few weeks. The El Nino not only influences the forecast but it gives forecasters more confidence that what they predict will come true, he said.The El Nino makes forecasts for a wetter southern Texas and less than average snowfall in the northern Rockies far more likely to come true, Halpert said.And it may not be good news for next year's Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia.The Olympic city can expect a dry and warm winter but it certainly can be cool enough for snow,Halpert said.September was warmer than normal for the United States, but not greatly hotter than normal, ranking 32nd out of 115 Septembers on record. But Nevada had its warmest September on record and California tied for its warmest month on record. The nation's rainfall in September was exactly average.NOAA also announced on Thursday that globally September was the second warmest month in 130 years of recordkeeping, just behind 2005. World temperatures last month averaged 60.1 degrees Fahrenheit (15.6 degrees Celsius), which is 1.1 degrees (0.6 degrees Celsius) above normal. Three-quarters of the way through the year, 2009 is lining up to be the sixth warmest year on record.

H1N1 flu causes unusual damage to lungs - studies Thu Oct 15, 2:20 pm ET

WASHINGTON Reuters) – The new pandemic H1N1 flu may cause blood clots and other unusual damage in the lungs and doctors need to be on the lookout, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.Two studies published in the American Journal of Roentgenology show the need to check X-rays and CT scans for unusual features, and also point out swine flu can be tricky to diagnose in some of the sickest patients.H1N1 flu is causing a pandemic, and while it is not particularly deadly, it is sickening many younger adults and older children who usually escape the worst effects of seasonal flu.It is therefore essential that clinicians be able to recognize possible cases of pandemic H1N1 influenza in high-risk groups so that they order the appropriate diagnostic tests, begin specific antiviral therapy, and prepare to provide intensive supportive measures as needed,Dr. Daniel Mollura of the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Maryland and colleagues wrote.One middle-aged man who died was not diagnosed until after death, but unusual findings on his X-rays may be able to help doctors save other, similar patients.Mollura's team found irregularities called ground-glass opacities in the patient's lungs using a CT scan. Although the patient was severely ill and had a fever, he tested negative for flu and doctors did not treat him for it.The man died five days after he went into the hospital and the autopsy confirmed he had swine flu. The lung lesions seen on his CT scan matched lung damage done by the virus, Mollura and colleagues said.In another study in the same journal, CT scans of patients with severe cases of swine flu showed many had pulmonary emboli, which block the arteries in the lungs, a team at the University of Michigan found.

Anticoagulant drugs can break up these clots and save lives.

Dr. Prachi Agarwal and colleagues examined 66 patients diagnosed with H1N1, 14 of them who were in the intensive care unit. All 66 got standard X-rays, which can show if a patient has pneumonia.They performed enhanced X-rays known as computed tomography or CT scans on 15 of the patients, 10 of them who were in the ICU on ventilators to help them breathe. Five of the ICU patients had the blood clots in the lungs, Agarwal reported.Our study suggests that patients who are severely ill with H1N1 are also at risk for developing pulmonary emboli, which should be carefully sought for on contrast-enhanced CT scans,Agarwal said in a statement.The majority of patients undergoing chest X-rays with H1N1 have normal radiographs (X-rays),she added. Pulmonary emboli are also not normally seen in flu, she said.CT scans proved valuable in identifying those patients at risk of developing more serious complications as a possible result of the H1N1 virus, and for identifying a greater extent of disease than is appreciated on chest radiographs.(Reporting by Maggie Fox; Editing by Julie Steenhuysen and Cynthia Ostemran)

Giving babies Tylenol may blunt vaccines' effects By MARILYNN MARCHIONE, AP Medical Writer – OCT 15,09

Giving babies Tylenol to prevent fever when they get childhood vaccinations may backfire and make the shots a little less effective, surprising new research suggests.It is the first major study to tie reduced immunity to the use of fever-lowering medicines. Although the effect was small and the vast majority of kids still got enough protection from vaccines, the results make a compelling case against routinely giving Tylenol right after vaccination, say doctors from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.They wrote an editorial accompanying the study, published in Friday's issue of the British medical journal, Lancet.The study only looked at preventive use of Tylenol — not whether it is OK to use after a fever develops.Tylenol or its generic twin, acetaminophen, is widely recommended as a painkiller for babies. Many parents give it right before or after a shot to prevent fever and fussiness, and some doctors recommend this. The CDC's vaccine advisory panel says it is a reasonable thing to do for children at high risk of seizures, which can be triggered by fevers.

However, fever after a vaccine isn't necessarily bad — it's a natural part of the body's response. Curbing fever, especially the first time a baby gets a vaccine, also seems to curb the immune response and the amount of protective antibodies that are made, the new study found.It was led by military and government scientists in the Czech Republic and was done at 10 medical centers in that Eastern European country. It involved 459 healthy infants, 9 to 16 weeks old, who were getting vaccines against polio, pneumonia, meningitis, whooping cough, tetanus, hepatitis and other childhood diseases.Half were given three doses of Calpol, or paracetamol — a Tylenol-like brand sold in Europe — during the first day after vaccination. The others were given nothing besides the vaccines.Babies given the painkiller were significantly less likely to develop a fever — 42 percent versus 66 percent of the others — and very few in either group developed a high one.However, lower rates of protective antibody levels from several vaccines were seen in the group given the drug. Levels remained significantly lower in this group after booster vaccines, given when the babies were 12 to 15 months old.Next, the researchers looked at 10 other vaccine studies and found some supporting evidence that using Tylenol to prevent fevers at the time of vaccination may curb immune system response rates. The same may not be true of using the drug to treat fevers after they develop.

The research was sponsored by Belgium-based GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, which makes all the vaccines used in the study. Some authors have financial ties to the company, including owning stock in it, and Glaxo had a role in reporting the results.Even with the fever-lowering drugs, more than 90 percent of children in the Czech study achieved protection from the various vaccines after the booster dose, so the effect of lower levels of antibodies on any individual might be small, Dr. Robert Chen and two other CDC doctors wrote in an editorial.Yet the consistency of findings from other studies makes a compelling case against routine use of fever-lowering medicines during immunization, they write.It's not known if Tylenol or other painkillers might reduce vaccine response in adults, but they are less likely to develop a fever after vaccination or to be so bothered by it, said Dr. John Treanor, a vaccine specialist at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, N.Y., who had no role in the study.Tylenol is the only member of the family of over-the-counter pain relievers that is not a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID.There's been speculation for a long time that the use of NSAIDs might have an effect on antibody production after vaccination, but this is far from proved, Treanor said.Given that so few children develop high fevers after vaccines, skipping the meds unless fever develops may be the way to go,he said.

Canadian Health Minister Wants 100% Of Population H1N1 Vaccinated - Goal is to get everyone to take the jab before Christmas Steve Watson Infowars.net
Thursday, Oct 15, 2009

Despite national polls indicating that only one third of Canadians intend to get the H1N1 flu vaccine, a Federal Health Minister says it is the government’s goal to vaccinate 100% of the population.My goal is to have 100 per cent of Canadians (vaccinated),chief public health officer Dr. David Butler-Jones told reporters at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg.The minister stated that the vaccine will be rolled out in the first week of November, with the goal of vaccinating everyone by the end of December.No step is going to be skipped, the health minister pledged. Once the vaccine is approved, it will be shipped to the provinces and territories and local health authorities will operate immunization programs.Butler-Jones made the statement at a press gathering to announce a funding boost for swine flu research from the federal government in the shape of $2.4 million.At the end of the day, it is an individual choice, he said.(But) if you don’t want H1N1, get the vaccine.Butler-Jones urged.We’re very fortunate as Canadians to be able to have that choice.he added.Last week a new Canadian Press Harris-Decima poll indicated that only a third of people in Canada intend to take the shot. That figure is down from 45% in a similar poll conducted in August.

Only 11 per cent of respondents described themselves as very concerned about H1N1.

Butler-Jones scolded a portion of Canadian health workers who have also indicated that they do not intend to get vaccinated:Doctors and nurses are not immortal, as much as we might think we are, he said.And, unfortunately, if we’re not immunized, and we have influenza, we’ll take it into the nursing home and hospital and, potentially, we’ll kill our patients.The concerns of Canadian doctors and Health Workers have been proven justified by a study led by Dr Danuta Skowronski of the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control and Dr Gaston De Serres of Laval University, Quebec. The study found that seasonal flu jabs could double the risk of developing swine flu.The World Health Organisation has dismissed the research as inconclusive, however some provincial and territorial public health authorities in Canada, including those in Ontario, have expressed great concern, leading to threats to delay or cancel mass vaccination programs.Canada is to use the adjuvanted GlaxoSmithKline H1N1 vaccine Pandemrix, which contains both squalene and thimerosal, which have been linked with neurological side effects.Pandemrix has also been fast tracked based on research only using mock up bird flu vaccines dating from 2007 and 2008.The Canadian government, like those of the US and the UK, has agreed to protect the producer of it’s H1N1 vaccine from lawsuits over potential side effects.The majority of cases of swine flu in Canada have turned out to be mild, with the virus having been linked to 79 deaths. The seasonal flu usually kills around 2000 people per year in Canada.On Wednesday Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper appeared to hedge when asked if he and his family would get vaccinated.

Reports: Russia warns US on missile defense Thu Oct 15, 4:45 pm ET

MOSCOW – A top Russian diplomat suggested Thursday that the U.S. should not talk with non-NATO nations about a prospective missile shield, Russian news agencies reported.Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov's remarks appeared to reflect alarm over the idea that Western-leaning neighbors such as Ukraine or Georgia, Russia's foe in a war last year, could potentially host U.S. missile defense facilities.
Ryabkov said Russia is concerned about what he said were contacts between the U.S. and nations outside NATO on missile defense, state-run ITAR-Tass and RIA Novosti reported.President Barack Obama removed a major irritant in relations with Russia last month by scrapping U.S. plans to place interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar in the Czech Republic — deployments Russia treated as a threat.The Kremlin has praised Obama for the decision, but Russian officials have also said they want to know details about what system the U.S. will put in place instead.Ryabkov's comments served as a warning that the United States should avoid taking steps that would threaten Russia or turning to its neighbors as potential partners in missile defense without consulting with Moscow.We are experiencing the concerns that emerge when major questions of strategic stability should be considered in a partner-like manner,he was quoted as saying.Russia and the U.S. have discussed cooperating on missile defense, and Ryabkov represented Russia in talks on the issue in Moscow on Monday ahead of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's visit.

Ryabkov did not name any specific nations as being in contact with the U.S. about missile defense, but he spoke in response to a question about Russian media reports suggesting the U.S. was in talks with Ukraine on the possibility of using its radar stations as part of a missile shield.The U.S. has not held negotiations with Ukraine regarding the use of Ukrainian radar stations, a U.S. Defense Department spokesman, Maj. Shawn Turner, said Thursday.Tensions over Georgia and uncertainty over the future of Ukraine, whose pro-Western president wants the country to join NATO, are hurdles in efforts by Russia and the U.S. to mend strained ties.

Quick accord sought on Iran's uranium export Thu Oct 15, 1:58 pm ET

PARIS – World powers want Iran to agree quickly to the export of low-enriched uranium to Russia for further enrichment as it would reduce the risk of the material going for nuclear weapons, France's Foreign Ministry said Thursday.Talks over the deal are to be at the heart of discussions during a meeting in Vienna on Monday between the United States, Russia, France, Iran and experts from the U.N. nuclear watchdog.The three world powers want an agreement to be reached during the meeting, said Christine Fages, a ministry spokeswoman, during an online briefing.Under the deal, Iran would send 1.2 tons of low-enriched uranium from its Nantaz facility to Russia before the end of the year, Fages said.As part of the arrangement, France would later produce four fuel cells for a Tehran research reactor, she said.France supports this initiative which, if effectively carried out in these conditions, would allow reduction in the short term of the risk that Iran could use this uranium for a nuclear weapon,Fages said.Such an agreement would be a compromise in the thorny confrontation over Iran's nuclear program. Iran has always refused to involve an outside country, insisting its program is peaceful and for civilian use. The United States and other major powers fear Iran ultimately is looking to build nuclear weapons.Iran has everything to gain" from the deal, Fages said, adding it would assure Tehran of long-term access to nuclear fuel for the production of radio isotopes for medical purposes, as it has said it wants. She did not elaborate on the French role.

Iran warned Saturday that if Monday's talks fail to help it obtain fuel from abroad, it will enrich uranium to a higher level needed to power a research reactor. Such a move would heighten tensions in the standoff over its nuclear program.France's Foreign Ministry said a rapid response from Tehran is important so that Iran shows, by concrete acts, the deep change in behavior that we are seeking from it on the nuclear issue.So far, Iran has produced about a ton of uranium enriched to less than 5 percent — way below the 90 percent level of enrichment needed for nuclear weapons.
The Monday meeting follows a landmark encounter between Iran and Western powers in Geneva in early October that put long-stalled negotiations back on track.

Israel may attack Iran after December Thursday, 15 October 2009 08:58 News from Jerusalem .IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen Gabi Ashkenazi speaks to Army Radio. (Photo IDF)

Israel is making preparations to carry out military attacks in Iran after December, a French magazine reported overnight Wednesday.According to a report in Le Canard Enchainé quoted by Israel Radio, Jerusalem has already ordered high-quality combat rations from a French food manufacturer for soldiers serving in elite units and has also asked reservists of these units staying abroad to return to Israel.The magazine further reported that in a recent visit to France, IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi told his French counterpart Jean-Louis Georgelin that Israel is not planning to bomb Iran, but may send elite troops to conduct activities on the ground there.These, according to the magazine, could involve sabotage of nuclear facilities as well as assassinations of top Iranian nuclear scientists.Israel has recently toned down rhetoric against Iran so as not to hinder US diplomatic efforts at bringing Teheran to become transparent regarding its nuclear program, but neither Jerusalem nor Washington have so far made any unequivocal statements to the effect that the military option against Iran was no longer being considered.Israel has maintained that it has the military capability to tackle Iran on its own if sanctions against the Islamic Republic prove ineffective.Israel accuses Iran of seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. Teheran maintains that its nuclear program is peaceful.The Jerusalem Post could not confirm Le Canard Enchainé's report.jpost

Palestinian vote in January if no unity deal: Abbas By Mohammed Assadi – Thu Oct 15, 12:36 pm ET

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Thursday he would hold elections as planned in January unless Hamas agreed to an Egyptian reconciliation deal that would delay the polls until June.Our Basic Law stipulates that elections must be held before January 24th, 2010,Abbas told a news conference after meeting Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.According to the Egyptian document, elections should be held on 28th of June 2010. If there is an agreement (with Hamas) we will abide by it, but if there is no agreement we will abide by the Basic Law,Abbas said.Abbas's aides have made similar statements but the Western-backed leader's comments, voiced while Hamas continued to weigh Cairo's proposal, marked the first time he has said publicly he would order January polls in the absence of a deal.Egypt has been trying for more than a year to close the wide rift between Abbas's secular Fatah faction and Islamist Hamas, which won a parliamentary election in 2006 and took over the Gaza Strip in a brief Palestinian civil war in 2007.Under the proposed reconciliation, a committee of Palestinian factions would act as a liaison between the Fatah-dominated government in the West Bank and Hamas, and a joint police force would be formed.While likely to be welcomed by many Palestinians, such Fatah-Hamas cooperation could pose a problem for Israel and the United States, which has been pressing Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resume peace negotiations.Hamas opposes the talks, suspended since December, and has rejected Western demands to recognize Israel, renounce violence and accept existing interim peace deals.Egypt has invited Fatah and Hamas to attend a ceremony on October 24-26 in Cairo, where they were expected to sign a reconciliation pact.But Hamas asked last week for a postponement, citing Abbas's agreement under U.S. pressure to back the deferral by the U.N. Human Rights Council of a vote on a report that accused Israel of war crimes during Israel's December-January Gaza offensive.The report, by South African jurist Richard Goldstone, also said Hamas militants, who carried out cross-border rocket attacks on communities in Israel, committed war crimes.(Additional reporting by Nidal al-Mughrabi in Ramallah and Dan Williams in Jerusalem, Writing by Allyn Fisher-Ilan and Jeffrey Heller, Editing by Matthew Jones)

Bill Gates pledges 120 million to boost African, Indian farmers by Karin Zeitvogel – Thu Oct 15, 12:19 pm ET

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Microsoft co-founder turned philanthropist Bill Gates on Thursday announced 120 million dollars in grants to help small-scale farmers in Africa and India improve their lives through sustainable agriculture.The grants, announced on the eve of World Food Day, are from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the philanthropic organization co-chaired by Gates and his wife.Three-quarters of the world's poorest people get their food and income by farming small plots of land, Gates said as he announced grants to nine projects, mostly in Africa, during a speech to the World Food Prize Symposium in Iowa.So if we can make small-holder farming more productive and more profitable, we can have a massive impact on hunger and nutrition and poverty.Gates also paid tribute to the late Norman Borlaug, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who is often called the father of the Green Revolution and who has been credited with saving hundreds of millions of lives by developing disease-resistant wheat.The Green Revolution was one of the great achievements of the 20th century, but it didn't go far enough,said Gates.It didn't go to Africa, where the bulk of the grant money announced by Gates on Thursday will go.In keeping with the Gates Foundation's approach to promoting development, which Gates described as investing across the value chain in ways that will benefit small farmers and their communities,the grants will help bring the technology that has transformed farming in other parts of the world to Africa and India.

Funds will be used to promote the development of crops which can help the environment -- such as legumes, which are a natural fertilizer -- or improve health, such as a new variety of sweet potato enriched in Vitamin A, which is often missing from the diets of children in the developing world.Crops will also be developed with the possible ravages of climate change in mind, said Gates.He cited a study conducted by researchers at Stanford University in California which showed that if farmers in southern Africa are planting the same variety of maize, the staple food of many Africans, in 2030 as today, the harsher conditions from climate change will reduce productivity by more than 25 percent.Declining yields at a time of rising population in a region with millions of poor people means starvation,said Gates.We have to develop crops that can grow in a drought; that can survive in a flood; that can resist pests and disease.We need higher yields on the same land in harsher weather. And we will never get it without a continuous and urgent science-based search to increase productivity -- especially on small farms in the developing world,said Gates.Grant money will fund a project to create community knowledge worker networks connecting villagers with sources of information via mobile phones in Uganda, where mobile phone penetration is around 80-90 percent.Grants have been earmarked to create Farmer Voice Radio, which would broadcast programs promoting sustainable agriculture to African farmers, 70 to 80 percent of whom use radio as a source of information.And yet more grant money will help to build networks of home-grown expertise that will give Africans greater autonomy when making agricultural policy decisions.In India, funding from the Gates Foundation will be used to help women's groups improve their land and water management skills, which would in turn enhance their standard of living. The drive to create a new green revolution that includes Africa must be a global effort, said Gates.

He praised President Barack Obama, who said when he took office that the United States will work alongside developing nations to make your farms flourish, and hailed the G20's three-year, 22 billion dollar pledge to help the poorest farmers increase productivity.But he called, too, on the corporate world, research institutions, universities, the United Nations, the World Bank, scientists, farmers groups to step up to the plate and help Africa and other developing regions put more and better food in the bowls of their people, and do it without damaging the environment.There is no reason for so many farmers to be so hungry and so poor, Gates said.If farmers can get what they need to feed their families and sell their surplus, hundreds of millions of the world?s poorest people can build themselves a better life.

Five guilty of plotting Australian jihad OCT 15,09

SYDNEY (AFP) – Five Muslim men were found guilty on Friday of plotting a violent jihadist attack in Australia using guns and explosives after the country's longest terror trial.The men, who are facing possible life sentences, showed little reaction to the verdict reached after a 10-month trial. But there were angry scenes outside the purpose-built high-security court as their supporters scuffled with media.

Prosecutors had said the men intended to punish Australia for sending troops to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. Four others were earlier convicted over the plot hatched between July 2004 and November 2005.The five were motivated by a perception that the participation of Australia in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan were acts of aggression against the wider Muslim community, prosecutor Richard Maidment told New South Wales Supreme Court earlier.The five spent months collecting chemicals, firearms and ammunition, and raids on their homes found large quantities of literature which supported indiscriminate killing, mass murder and martyrdom in pursuit of violent jihad.The men, aged 25 to 44, had pictures and videos showing the hijacked aircraft smashing into the World Trade Centre in New York on September 11, 2001, as well as beheadings and death on the battlefield, Maidment said.He described all five as devout Muslims who believed Islam was under attack throughout the world and that there was a religious obligation to come to its defence through the pursuit of violent jihad, or holy war.This involved the application of extreme force and violence, involving the killing of those who did not share the extremist belief held by the accused,Maidment said.The jury was shown more than 3,000 exhibits, heard from over 300 witnesses and was taken through numerous intercepted phone calls and text messages during the trial.Lawyers for the five accused said there were innocent explanations for much of the material and labelled the case propagandist. The prosecution did not reveal the supposed target for the attack.Justice Anthony Whealy had urged jurors to put aside any prejudices before beginning their deliberations, which lasted four-and-a-half weeks.Special demands have been placed on your concentration. It has been my observation that you have acted with the utmost integrity and diligence,he said Friday.Importantly, I'm sure that you have brought considerable diligence and an amount of integrity to the important task of deliberation.The verdict angered supporters of the men who were watching live footage on a TV screen outside the court. One man had to be restrained after clashing with two cameramen.A sentencing hearing was set for December 14.

Presbyterian Peacemakers Promote Hezbollah Website and Anti-Israel Incitement Thursday, 15 October 2009 13:50 .

Presbyterian church is not a peace organization-The Israel/Palestine Mission Network of the Presbyterian Church (USA), is promoting anti-Israel incitement from a number of different sources, including Al Manar, a Hezbollah-controlled television station which was designated as a Global Terrorist Entity by the U.S. Department of Treasury in 2006. The Israel/Palestine Mission Network (IPMN) was established by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 2004.In addition to mainstreaming Hezbollah's Al Manar to Presbyterians and to the general public, the IPMN is also promoting false allegations about Israel tunneling beneath the Temple Mount – allegations which in the past have incited violence. The IPMN is also relaying a false report of Palestinians attacking right-wing Jews who had entered the Temple Mount to pray the day before Yom Kippur. In fact, Palestinians had attacked non-Jewish French tourists.IPMN promoted the articles in a blog entry dated Oct. 11, 2009. The entry reports on the alleged decline of sovereignty by Palestinian Muslims over the Haram al-Sharif Mosque on the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem. The entry depicts the presence of Israeli Jews in Jerusalem as an alien intrusion that results in the culture of Palestine slowly being displaced by immigrants from Europe and the US.Accompanying this thinly disguised xenophobia were links to ten articles, most of which dealt with the recent clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police near the Temple Mount. The IPMN encouraged its readers to view the articles under the heading Articles of the Week.The clashes began on Sept. 27, 2009 when Palestinians attacked a group of non-Jewish French tourists (whom they had likely mistaken for Israeli Jews intent on praying on the Temple Mount). Israeli police officers intervened, rescued the tourists, arrested some of the Palestinians involved in the attack and then blocked off the compound. The compound remained closed to allow for the peaceful celebration of Yom Kippur at the Western Wall, or Kotel, which is at the base of the Temple Mount. (Agence France Press, Sept. 27, 2009)

On Oct. 3, 2009, Israeli officials imposed another closure on the site in an effort to prevent further violence after Palestinian religious leaders called for further protests against an alleged Jewish takeover of Haram Al-Sharif. Prior to closure, imposed the day before a Sukkot celebration at the Western Wall, Israeli police had discovered wheelbarrows filled with stones at a number of sites on the Temple Mount. (UPI, Oct. 5, 2009).Given the tensions surrounding the Temple Mount (or the Haram Al-Sharif as it is called by Muslims), IPMN's peacemaking agenda would seem to require that it post links to factual articles about the confrontations and encourage people of all faiths in Jerusalem to remain calm.Instead, the organization directed its readers to articles promoting false charges designed to provoke hostility toward Israel and to justify continued violent acts by the Palestinians.For example, the IPMN promoted an article published by Ma'an News, a Palestinian news agency that false reported that the violence that began on Sept. 27 started after right wing religious Jews entered the Al-Aqsa compound ahead of the holy day of Yom Kippur.In fact, Palestinians attacked non-Jewish French tourists, as noted above.The IPMN also promoted an article falsely accusing Israel of digging a tunnel under the Al Aqsa Mosque. This charge is regularly leveled at Israel in an effort to promote hostility toward Israel.

Al Manar

These links are outrageous enough, but what is even more shocking is the IPMN's decision to promote an article published by Al Manar, which is controlled by Hezbollah. This article titled Palestinians Stand Up to Israeli Attempts to Desecrate Al-Aqsa speaks of Israel's continuous bids to desecrate the Muslim site. The article also reports that Israeli settlers have allowed Jewish settlers to enter the compound and desecrate the holy site.In fact, Israeli officials have worked to prevent Jewish groups from setting foot on the site.What makes IPMN's decision to promote this article shocking is that Al Manar has been designated by the U.S. Department of Treasury as a Global Terrorist Entity.Al Manar raised funds for Hizballah through advertisements broadcast on the network and an accompanying website that requested donations for the terrorist organization. As recently as late 2005, Hizballah-affiliated charities aired commercials on al Manar, providing contact information and bank account numbers for donations. Moreover, Hizballah Secretary General Nasrallah publicized an invitation for all Lebanese citizens to volunteer for Hizballah military training on al Manar and al Nour [a Lebanese radio station].In addition to supporting Hizballah, al Manar has also provided support to other designated Palestinian terrorist organizations, including the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, notably transferring tens of thousands of dollars for a PIJ-controlled charity. PIJ is listed as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist and a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. Government, and is also named on the European Union's list of terrorist entities.

Hizballah Secretary General Hasan Nasrallah, along with Hizballah's Executive Council, managed and oversaw the budgets of al Manar and al Nour.(Emphasis added.)By portraying Jewish settlement in Israel in such xenophobic terms and by promoting propaganda broadcast by a known supporter of anti-Israel terrorism, the IPMN has revealed its true colors.It is not a peace organization.It is an anti-Israel organization that promotes the lies told by groups in the Middle East to justify attacks on Israeli civilians.Camera

JERUSALEM DIVIDED

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

On Jerusalem, the U.S. still indulges Palestinian fantasies Thursday, 15 October 200907:39 News from Jerusalem .American Embassy, still in Tel-Aviv

Recent Palestinian riots in Jerusalem’s Old City, combined with Palestinian claims that Israel is trying to Judaize Jerusalem, are part of a coordinated effort to deny Israel its long-held claim to the city as its eternal and undivided capital.Sadly, American foreign policy encourages the Palestinians to continue with their revisionist fantasies. Why? Because the U.S. officially treats Jerusalem as the Palestinian Arab capital by locating its Palestinian Consulate in Jerusalem and its Israeli Embassy elsewhere.The United States established its embassy in Tel Aviv and has kept it there, even though Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel since 1950. Prior to that, those areas of Jerusalem held by the Israelis after their War of Independence simply were not secure enough to serve as Israel’s seat of government.

Things have changed. Jerusalem was reunified in 1967, and the city is at peace. Still, the Americans stay in Tel Aviv. How must this appear to the Israelis? Imagine going to someone’s house and demanding to be served dinner in the living room rather than the dining room. That is, in essence, what the United States is doing.
Acknowledging this discourtesy, Congress directed the State Department in 1995 to move the embassy to Jerusalem and recognize the city as the capital of the State of Israel, never to be re-divided.However, since 1995, every president subject to this act has suspended action on it, asserting that the Constitution grants to the presidency alone the right to conduct the nation’s foreign policy. Of course, there is another reason: Some argue that moving the embassy would represent recognition of Israel’s sovereignty over all of Jerusalem, a policy strongly opposed by many nations.Nonetheless, the United States does maintain a diplomatic presence in Jerusalem - just not for Israel’s benefit. Located now on Agron Street, just a few blocks outside the Old City walls, the U.S. consular office was established in the 19th century to serve all U.S. diplomatic needs in pre-1948 Palestine.

Today it focuses its attention on the Palestinian Arab community. The office exists as if it is oblivious to Israel’s existence. There is barely any mention of the State of Israel on the U.S. Jerusalem Consulate’s Web site, and the consulate maintains an eerie resistance to recognizing anything affiliated with Israel, Hebrew or Jews. The About Us section of the Web site defines the consulate as an independent U.S. mission that is the official diplomatic representation of the United States in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza.To give a few glaring examples of the consulate’s Palestinian-Arab orientation: The 2009 Programs and Events space informs that a poetry contest devoted to pro-environmental themes is open only to residents of Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem ages 10-22. Poems may be in English or Arabic.Hebrew poetry evidently need not be submitted.Black History Month brings American musicians to share blues and jazz with Palestinian audiences.What about Jews who themselves are black and who were born in Africa? Never mind because they are Jewish.This is not merely a matter of symbolism. The American Consulate treats the city as Palestinian, and as the capital of Palestinian life, even though both assumptions are fantasy.In Jerusalem, the only sovereign leaders of any state, or state in waiting, are Israel’s. Israel’s President’s House is in Jerusalem. Israel’s Foreign Ministry is in Jerusalem. Its Parliament, the Knesset, is in Jerusalem. And its heart - historically, spiritually, politically and culturally - is Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, Palestinian Arabs have leaders based in Ramallah and Gaza City, respectively. Ramallah is the seat of the Palestinian Authority. It is home to Palestinian centers of science, culture and education. When visiting dignitaries -- including then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2008 - visit Palestinian leaders, they do so in Ramallah.Perhaps President Barack Obama, so famous for dismissing childish disputes rooted in historic squabbles, could bring some realism to the situation.He could give a speech pledging to a new approach based in realism and the mutual interests, mutual respect theme which guides so much of his foreign policy. He could announce that he is moving the U.S. Consulate for Palestinian Affairs to Ramallah, which is where the Palestinian political leadership works, and for the moment, leave the embassy in Tel Aviv.That, however, still would not be a solution forged in the spirit of mutual respect. To do that, President Obama would have to recognize that the seat of government for Israel is in Jerusalem, and the seat of government for the Palestinians is in Ramallah, and announce that he is placing American diplomats at offices in both those cities and only those cities.Thus, the American Embassy would be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and serve all residents of Israel, and the consulate serving all Palestinian Arabs and a future Palestinian entity would be shifted to Ramallah. Nothing would be more realistic, and nothing would be more symbolic of a policy of pursuing mutual interests in the spirit of mutual respect.

AUDIT THAT FED HAS 303 HOUSE AND 30 SENATE MEMBERS SIGNED UP SO FAR.

Grayson calls on American public to Unmask the Fed Kathleen Miller Raw Story
Thursday, October 15, 2009

Florida Democrat U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson wants Americans to help him block Congress from confirming the Chairman of the Federal Reserve to his second term unless he hands over documents relating to the bailouts of financial institutions, including the rescue of Bear Stearns.In the Unmask the Fed campaign, Grayson calls on constituents to sign petitions demanding that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke come clean before senators re-confirm his appointment to the helm of the Federal Reserve.

Grayson wants access to the Bear Stearns rescue paperwork as well as the details of which financial institutions received $1.2 trillion in bailout money, how much each institution received, and what was promised in return.He’s also seeking Fed documents that discuss the Bank of America/Merrill Lynch merger, transcripts of Open Market Meeting minutes, and the terms and conditions of Fed transactions not reflected in balance sheets from the past three years.[T]he Senate should know who got the $2 trillion the Federal Reserve has lent out over the last two years,the petition reads.Only then will the Senate be able to judge whether he should keep his job.Grayson and Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul sent Sen. Chris Dodd, who chairs the Senate Banking Committee, a letter last week asking him to postpone Bernanke’s re-confirmation hearings until the public has access to more information about the Federal Reserve.Without such an understanding, it is impossible to know whether Chairman Bernanke is fit to serve another term and fulfill the Federal Reserve’s dual mandate to ensure price stability and full employment,the letter to Dodd read.

It continued: Today, big banks are being bailed out and have a substantially lower cost of capital through an implicit government backstop even as Americans themselves are seeing their pay cut.There are separate bills that would authorize an audit of the Federal Reserve that are picking up speed in both the House and the Senate, with bi-partisan support in both chambers. Paul sponsors the House version of that legislation, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is behind the Senate measure.The Federal Reserve has got to understand that this money does not belong to the Federal Reserve. It belongs to the American people,Sanders told Raw Story in an email from his spokesman.As long as the Federal Reserve is allowed to keep the information on their loans secret, we will never know the true financial condition of the banking system.

Disclosure forms, according to Bloomberg, reveal that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s closest aides received millions of dollars from Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and other Wall Street firms.Gene Sperling (left) confers with fellow master criminals, including Timothy Geithner and Larry Summers.The henchmen include Gene Sperling, who last year took in $887,727 from Goldman Sachs and $158,000 for speeches mostly to financial companies, including the firm run by accused Ponzi scheme mastermind R. Allen Stanford. Another top aide, Lee Sachs, reported more than $3 million in salary and partnership income from Mariner Investment Group, a New York hedge fund, reports Bloomberg. In addition to working for Goldman Sachs, Sperling is on the staff of the Council on Foreign Relations, where he serves as Senior Fellow for Economic Policy and Director of the Center on Universal Education. He is also an economic adviser for Hillary Clinton.Sperling worked in the Clinton administration as the President’s National Economic Adviser and Director of the National Economic Council. He was tutored by bankster master criminals Larry Summers and Robert Rubin. Clinton called him the MVP of his Wall Street economic team.

Lee Sachs is described as Geithner’s right-hand man handling the financial crisis. He was on the board of directors of Bear Stearns. In 1998, he joined the Clinton administration in Rubin’s Treasury as deputy assistant secretary for government financial policy. Less than a year after getting the post, Lawrence Summers replaced Rubin as secretary and Sachs got a promotion to assistant secretary for financial markets.As part of Geithner’s kitchen cabinet, Sperling and Sachs wield influence behind the scenes at the Treasury Department, where they help oversee the $700 billion banking rescue and craft executive pay rules and the revamp of financial regulations,Bloomberg continues. Yet they haven’t faced the public scrutiny given to Senate-confirmed appointees, nor are they compelled to testify in Congress to defend or explain the Treasury’s policies.Goldman Sachs is at the very epicenter of the international bankster cartel on Wall Street along with Brown Brothers, Harriman, Lehman Brothers, Kuhn Loeb, Inc. J.P. Morgan, Chase and a handful of others. It is one of around a dozen or so global institutions that are allowed to purchase Bills, Bonds and Notes directly from the Treasury. It is among the top five investment banks in the world.Goldman Sachs received billions of dollars – to be paid off by future generations of Americans – for its highly speculative credit default swaps. It was the largest single recipient of tax payer money in AIG bailout. The government had forked over $180 billion to AIG as of April of this year. The New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced in March that he was investigating whether AIG’s trading counterparties improperly received government money.

The presence of Gene Sperling and Lee Sachs in the Treasury is to say the least a conflict of interest. But then Timothy Geithner is a former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York and his predecessor, Hank Paulson, was the head of Goldman Sachs.Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve, and the Treasury are basically one in the same. In July, former Reagan Treasury official Paul Craig Roberts asked: Does the US Secretary of the Treasury work for the people or does he work for the banking system on Wall Street? to which he replied, He works for Goldman Sachs.This bankster firm controls the economic policy of the United States,Roberts said elsewhere. Matt Taibbi, in his article in Rolling Stone, described Goldman Sachs as a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.Goldman Sachs the vampire squid is not finished with the American people. It will soon profit from the emerging cap and trade scam cooked up by the globalists and banksters. Dianne Feinstein and Olympia Snow have introduced a bill to make the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) the sole regulator of the carbon market created by cap-and-trade legislation.The current chairman of the CFTC is Gary Gensler, formerly of Goldman Sachs. Gensler had worked diligently with master criminal Alan Greenspan to protect credit default swaps from regulation. He also worked hard to deregulate electronic energy trading, allowing Enron to rip-off billions.The mega-bankster crime syndicate is a part owner of the exchanges where carbon allowances would be traded. It has spent millions of dollars lobbying for cap-and-trade legislation in anticipation of making billions of dollars at the expense taxpayers and consumers. The CFTC and the cap and trade scam will be the next derivatives bubble.Goldman Sachs and its operatives in the Obama administration, the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve will be there to profit obscenely.You’re here to pay them tribute on the road to the New Serfdom.

In a bad economy, banks trade their way to profits By STEVENSON JACOBS, AP Business Writer – Thu Oct 15, 5:37 pm ET

NEW YORK – The big banks are showing they can still make money, even as Main Street struggles — though not from lending, refinancing homes or other bread-and-butter business.Instead, they're doing what Wall Street does best — betting big on stocks, bonds, commodities and other assets.Citigroup, the shakiest of the major banks during the financial crisis, reported Thursday it eked out a quarterly profit from trading, despite suffering more losses on consumer loans. Trading also drove big profits at Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase.That some banks are making money now is a sign of remarkable recovery from the crisis a year ago. But the lopsided business model raises questions about what happens if trading profits fall off and banks are left to rely on more traditional operations.After all, the economy is still struggling to recover, unemployment is approaching 10 percent and Americans are saving money and trying to pay down debt, not taking on more.The good news is that banks are in better shape. The bad news is that they're not making loans to consumers and businesses,said market analyst Edward Yardeni.That could come back to bite them because these trading gains will only last so long.Mindful of the problems banks still face, investors reacted cautiously a day after the Dow Jones industrials powered back above 10,000 for the first time in a year. Stocks zigzagged for most of Thursday before ending modestly higher.For now, trading is pretty much the only way banks can make money. And it's more lucrative because there are fewer competitors, interest rates are near zero and government subsidies have allowed banks to borrow cheaply and invest in assets that offer the highest returns.Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has benefited more than most. Famed for its trading prowess, the New York investment bank said Thursday that third-quarter earnings swelled to $3.03 billion, more than triple what it made a year ago.

As in past quarters, Goldman leaned heavily on its trading operation — buying and selling stocks, bonds, foreign currencies and commodities like oil and gold — to make money.They've been on the mark on the trading side,said Stephen Hagenbuckle, a principle at private equity fund TerraCap Partners.Goldman's strong showing came a day after JPMorgan Chase & Co. reported its own big profits — $3.59 billion for the quarter. That was even more impressive because, unlike Goldman, JPMorgan has suffered heavy losses on consumer loans like credit cards and mortgages.But JPMorgan's strong investment banking division is carrying the burden right now, banking analyst Bert Ely said.If not for that, they would've lost money.Goldman's quick recovery allowed it to repay the $10 billion it received in government bailout money. That freed the company from restrictions on employee pay, which is on track to reach record levels.The company said it set aside $16.7 billion, or nearly half its net revenue, through the first nine months of the year for compensation, which includes salaries, bonuses and related costs.Citigroup Inc., meanwhile, offered a grim reminder of just how shaky the economy remains.Helped by trading gains, Citi reported a $101 million profit in the third quarter. But including the $288 million the bank paid out in preferred stock dividends, plus the deal that gave the government a 34 percent stake in the bank, it lost $3.24 billion.The bank, one of the hardest hit during the recession, said loan losses during the quarter came to $8 billion. That's down from nearly $8.4 billion in the second quarter, but a sign that people are still defaulting in large numbers. Banks have warned that loan losses would continue into next year. Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit said improving the bad employment picture would be crucial for turning things around. Ultimately it's going to come down to how many jobs are there in the country,Pandit told analysts.And that is probably the single best driver of trying to figure out what happens on a macro basis.Experts don't expect the job market to pick up anytime soon, meaning banks could be relying on trading gains for the foreseeable future. While the economy may be out of recession, the unemployment rate isn't expected to peak until the middle of next year.For now, most big banks are holding their breath to see what 2010 will mean for retail profits,said Brad Hintz, investment banking analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Will unemployment come down? Will the consumer start spending? No one knows.AP Business Writers Stephen Bernard in New York and Ieva M. Augstums in Charlotte, N.C. contributed to this report.

Stocks rise as energy gains offset drop in banks By TIM PARADIS, AP Business Writer – Thu Oct 15, 6:23 pm ET

NEW YORK – A late-day surge left stocks with modest advances Thursday as a jump in the price of oil lifted energy companies and offset weakness in bank shares.The gains came a day after strong profit reports from JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Intel Corp. vaulted the Dow Jones industrials above the 10,000 level for the first time in a year. The Dow tacked on another 47 points.Stocks spent most of the day lower but rallied in the final 15 minutes of trading ahead of quarterly reports from Google Inc., IBM Corp. and chip maker Advanced Micro Devices that arrived after the closing bell. All three topped expectations and could help the market extend its gains if reports due early Friday from General Electric Co. and Bank of America Corp. aren't spoilers.Analysts say the market's late bounce signals investors are still looking to get into the market.People are trying to buy on the dips,said Andrew Neale, partner and portfolio manager at Fogel Neale Partners in New York.There is so much money waiting on the sidelines.A rise in oil prices to their highest level in nearly a year lifted energy stocks and, in turn, the overall market. Gains in companies like refiner Tesoro Corp. and Chevron Corp. helped offset losses in financial stocks after earnings from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc. disappointed investors.JPMorgan helped set a high bar for bank earnings, and investors didn't like as much what they heard from rivals Goldman and Citi. Goldman's net income of $3.19 billion beat expectations on strong trading profits, but investment banking revenues fell. Citigroup reported a smaller loss than expected but said credit losses remain high.Investors drew some comfort from a government report that new unemployment claims fell more than expected last week.Things are going in the right direction but the fundamental economic improvement is slow,said Robert Dye, senior economist at PNC Financial Services Group in Pittsburgh.The day's modest moves weren't unexpected. Seeing the Dow Jones industrials at five digits could spook some traders who worry that stocks have been too quick to rebound. Others say that skepticism is a signal that the market will continue to defy expectations and advance.The Dow rose 47.08, or 0.5 percent, to 10,062.94, its highest close since Oct. 3 last year. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 4.54, or 0.4 percent, to 1,096.56. The Nasdaq composite index rose 1.06, or 0.1 percent, to 2,173.29.

Advancing stocks narrowly outpaced those that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 5.4 billion shares, in line with Wednesday.Since March, the Dow has jumped 53.7 percent, while the S&P 500 index is up 62.1 percent and the Nasdaq is up 71.3 percent.Crude oil rose $2.40 to settle at $77.58 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after the government said refiners cut production last week.That lifted energy stocks. Tesoro advanced $1.25, or 8.6 percent, to $15.83, while Chevron rose $1.23, or 1.6 percent, to $76.69.Bob Browne, chief investment officer at Northern Trust in Chicago, said rising oil could trip up a recovery in the economy if it continues.Whenever oil goes up two-and-a-half bucks we can't have too many days like that before start to worry,he said.The Labor Department said the number of newly laid-off workers filing claims for unemployment insurance fell to its lowest level since January. First-time claims for jobless benefits dropped to 514,000, better than the 525,000 economists were expecting, according to Thomson Reuters. Bond prices slipped as the economic reports signaled improvement in the economy. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 3.46 percent from 3.42 percent late Wednesday. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies slipped 0.60, or 0.1 percent, to 623.34.Overseas, Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.6 percent, Germany's DAX index lost 0.4 percent, and France's CAC-40 rose less than 0.1 percent. Japan's Nikkei stock average jumped 1.8 percent.

Dozens nabbed in US mortgage fraud crackdown OCT 15,09

NEW YORK (AFP) – US law enforcement officials arrested dozens Thursday across the eastern United States in a crackdown on mortgage scams in New York State.The 41 suspects are accused of "engaging in various mortgage fraud scams that collectively defrauded lenders out of more than 64 million dollars in home mortgage loans on more than 100 properties across New York State,a statement from the New York prosecutor's office and the FBI said.Those charged include six lawyers, seven loan officers, three mortgage brokers and an accountant.Operation Bad Deeds, involving federal, state and local authorities, concluded with 31 arrests early Thursday in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and North Carolina.Another five suspects remained at large, one was expected to surrender shortly, and four had already been charged.Among their alleged scams was a scheme in which individuals about to lose their homes to bank foreclosure were tricked into giving up the equity with false promises that they would get their homes back.As the US economy struggles, we will continue to have a zero tolerance policy for those who defraud financial institutions and prey on homeowners on the brink of foreclosure,said Preet Bharara, federal prosecutor for the southern district of New York.The type of criminal conduct charged today constricts the credit markets and makes it harder for honest people to realize the American dream of home ownership,he said.It is especially alarming when lawyers, loan officers, and mortgage brokers treat their professional licenses as license to loot banks and profit from other people's pain.

EU-Korea trade deal puts pressure on Obama to act By Doug Palmer – Thu Oct 15, 4:35 pm ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama faced increased pressure on Thursday to win approval of a free trade deal with South Korea after the European Union locked up its own pact with Asia's third-largest market.We have concluded our negotiations with the EU, which has almost a similar economic size as the United States,South Korean Ambassador to the United States Han Duk-soo said.President Obama will visit Korea in November and we hope we will make some progress before that" to resolve concerns blocking approval of the U.S.-Korea free trade pact, Han said in a speech at the Heritage Foundation.The United States and South Korea signed their free trade deal more than two years ago. But U.S. lawmaker concerns over beef and auto trade with the longtime ally that borders North Korea has blocked approval of the agreement.Many U.S. lawmakers argue the free trade pact fails to tear down "non-tariff barriers" that keep out American cars. Others want Seoul to remove remaining barriers to U.S. beef imports that stemming from the discovery mad cow disease in the United States several years ago.Since then, South Korea has continued negotiating free trade deals. It initialed a pact with the European Union on.Thursday expected to go into force by the middle of 2010 and is currently in talks with Canada, Mexico and Peru.We would like to be the hub of free trade agreements in East Asia,Han said, citing a study that U.S. companies could lose 380,000 jobs to competitors in the EU and Canada if the U.S.-Korea free trade agreement is not approved.The EU-Korea trade deal could be worth 100 billion euros ($149 billion) to both economies and advocates says it will help both sides fight the worst financial crisis in decades.It also comes at a time when the United States is already losing market share in South Korea to the EU, Japan and China.

US SAYS KEENLY INTERESTED IN EU-KOREA DEAL

Obama sided with the United Auto Workers and other opponents of the South Korean free trade agreement during last year's presidential campaign.After meeting with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak in June, the two leaders agreed to work on outstanding concerns. However, Seoul has steadfastly refused to renegotiate auto provisions that are the biggest obstacle to U.S. approval.A spokeswoman for the U.S. Trade Representative's office said the United States was keenly interested in the implications of the EU-Korea deal for the United States.EU firms compete directly with U.S. suppliers in key segments of the large and growing Korean market, such as machinery, chemicals, plastics, auto parts, and dairy products,USTR spokesman Carol Guthrie said.Ambassador (Ron) Kirk believes it is vital to maintain the competitiveness of US businesses and workers in this important market,Guthrie said, referring to the U.S. Trade Representative.

PANAMA, COLOMBIA

Meanwhile, Panamanian and Colombian trade officials also urged U.S. action on their free trade agreements, which like the Korean deal are left over from the administration of former President George W. Bush. Obama sided with labor groups in opposing the Colombia free trade agreement on the grounds that President Alvaro Uribe has not done enough to stop violence against trade unionists and prosecute those responsible for killings.But Ricardo Triana, director of the Colombia Trade Bureau, said the average Colombian had a hard time understanding why the U.S. Congress still has not approved the trade deal signed between the two countries in November 2006.The trade situation facing Colombia is especially difficult after Venezuela decided to cut trade in the wake of Washington and Bogota's decision to negotiate a defense cooperation agreement, Triana said.September figures show that trade with Venezuela, Colombia's second-largest trading partner, has fallen 52 percent while trade with Ecuador, Colombia's third-largest trading partner, has also dropped, he said.This is not an easy situation and I am sure you can see the public perception of the real and tangible cost of being a U.S. ally,Triana said, adding Colombia believes it has made major progress in reducing violence the past seven years.Panama hopes to soon resolve tax and labor issues that have blocked approval of its trade deal, which was signed with the United States in June 2007, said Francisco Alvarez de Soto, Panama's vice minister for trade negotiations.Timothy Keeler, a trade lawyer at Mayer Brown who worked for USTR during the Bush administration, said the only way the three trade deals will be approved is if Obama decides to make them a priority and is willing to take on labor groups. There may be a chance to approve the deals early next year if Obama makes a very difficult decision he wants to get this done" before the November 2010 congressional elections, Keeler said. If not, it could be 2011 at the earliest before Congress votes on the pact, he said.(Additional reporting by Darren Ennis in Brussels; Editing by Cynthia Osterman)

Canada Liberals file ethics complaint against government By Randall Palmer – Thu Oct 15, 4:13 pm ET

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada's Liberal Party said on Thursday it was launching an ethics complaint against the Conservative government, charging it was playing partisan politics with stimulus programs.The Liberals lodged the complaint against Prime Minister Stephen Harper and 47 other legislators for putting their signatures at the bottom of oversized publicity checks used in announcing federal grants for infrastructure programs and other economic stimulus measures.In the case of at least two members of Parliament, they said, the Conservative Party logo was also on the checks.The Liberals have asked Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson to rule that putting legislators' names on the checks violates conflict-of-interest legislation that prevents office holders from doing anything officially on behalf of Parliament that furthers their private interests.You know what? Staying elected is a private interest,Liberal Member of Parliament David McGuinty told a news conference.

The charges form part of a campaign under which the Liberals, the main opposition party in Parliament, assert that the government is using stimulus funds unfairly to boost Conservative re-election chances.They complain, and the government denies, that funds are going disproportionately to electoral districts held by the Conservatives.Harper spokesman Dimitri Soudas said it was inappropriate to have the Conservative logo on checks but there was nothing wrong with having lawmakers' signatures on them, representing their work in pushing for government projects.One of the most important functions of a member of Parliament is ... to support and promote local and regional projects,Soudas said.They represent their constituents; they're not signing as individuals. And, first of all, these checks are mock checks. They're not real checks that people take to the bank.The Conservatives are 12 seats short of a majority in the 308-seat House of Commons, meaning they could be brought down at any time if all three opposition parties teamed up against them.However, they are 10 to 15 percentage points ahead of the second-place Liberals in the polls, and therefore most analysts expect no election will be triggered this year.Also reducing the chances of a fall election, the separatist Bloc Quebecois decided on Thursday against moving a non-confidence motion on October 19 -- when it gets to set the parliamentary agenda. Instead, it submitted an innocuous motion asking for help for the forestry industry, one that would not bring down the government if it passes.

Canada poll sees potential Conservative majority Thu Oct 15, 4:47 pm ET

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada's ruling Conservatives could well turn their minority government into a majority if the opposition forces an early election, the Ekos polling firm said on Thursday.However, a Harris Decima poll released later on Thursday suggested the Conservatives were still short of majority territory.Ekos said the Conservatives, led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, are now 15 percentage points ahead of the Liberals, who started sliding last month when they decided to try to take the government down less than a year after the last election.Following last week's movement upward in the polls, Canada's federal Conservatives have solidified an impressive, potentially majority-producing lead among Canadians, with the Liberals now mired at the same historic lows under Michael Ignatieff that they suffered under former leader Stephane Dion,Ekos President Frank Graves said.

Ignatieff became Liberal leader in December after Dion led the party in the October 2008 election to its worst showing, in terms of percentage of vote, since the 1860s.
Ekos put the Liberals at 25.5 percent, down slightly from last week and below the 26.3 percent they got in the 2008 election. The Conservatives were at 40.7 percent, up a point from last week and 3 points up from the election.The leftist New Democrats were little changed at 14.3 percent, the Greens were at 10.5 percent and the separatist Bloc Quebecois at 9.1 percent.The Harris-Decima survey, released by Canadian Press, had the Conservatives ahead by only 35 percent to 28 percent, a lead that would likely yield another minority Conservative government.CP quoted Harris-Decima pollster Doug Anderson as saying the data over the last three months showed a clear downward trend for the Liberals that should trouble them.Ekos's Graves said voters were also becoming less pessimistic about the economy and showing a decided preference for smaller government, advocated by the Conservatives.All of this bodes well for Harper's Tories and poorly for Ignatieff's Liberals,Graves said.A Liberal move to topple the government, which requires the support of at least one opposition party to stay in power, failed on October 1. Other confidence tests that could trigger an election will come in the next two months, though few observers now expect the government to be brought down.The Conservatives currently have 143 of the 308 seats in the House of Commons. Twelve more seats would give them a majority.

Ekos's automated telephone poll surveyed 2,729 Canadians October 7-13, a sample size that should be accurate to within 1.9 percentage points 19 times out of 20.The Harris-Decima telephone survey started earlier, running October 1-12. It covered just over 2,000 people and carries a 2.2 point margin of error.(Reporting by Randall Palmer, editing by Rob Wilson)

Gold knocks down TSX but oil limits loss By Ka Yan Ng – Thu Oct 15, 5:24 pm ET

TORONTO (Reuters) – The TSX fell moderately on Thursday on lower gold prices and disappointing U.S. earnings news, but advances in the oil and gas group limited the decline.Gold-mining shares were among the hardest hit. Barrick Gold led all heavyweight decliners with a 2.03 percent drop to C$40.15.After a sharp rally that took it to record highs in the last two sessions, the gold price dropped 1 percent on Thursday as the U.S. dollar stemmed recent losses.Kinross Gold fell 1.7 percent to C$23.66, while Agnico-Eagle shed 2.1 percent to C$72.66.Banks and insurers helped keep the main index pinned lower after quarterly results from a pair of big U.S. banks disheartened investors. Manulife Financial lost 1.2 percent to C$22.21.Royal Bank of Canada shares were the biggest drag on the main index early on, but they managed to finish up 0.04 percent at C$55.96.Quarterly results from Goldman Sachs Group and Citigroup Inc failed to live up to the expectations of some investors after a strong showing by JPMorgan on Wednesday.We had a couple today that didn't knock the lights out and so the market, after you've had the kind of runs like we've had of late, the market does look for excuses on a short-term basis to sell off, said Peter Chandler, senior vice-president at Canaccord Wealth Management.The market is in an orderly fashion digesting news, digesting gains. The line of least resistance for this market at this point in time remains up.

The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 28.27 points, or 0.25 percent, at 11,504.51. Eight of its 10 main groups fell.On the upside, oil and gas shares were well supported by a 3 percent rise in the oil price to above $77 a barrel. Oil company Canadian Natural Resources topped all notable gainers with a 1.4 percent rise to C$78.58.Opti Canada Inc was among active stocks on Thursday, rising as much as 12 percent as its partner in the Long Lake oil sands project, Nexen Inc, restarted production after shutting the facility for maintenance in mid-September.Opti shares, which also often move in tandem with oil prices, jumped 7.9 percent to end at C$2.45.

Two Koreas hold talks, mixed signals from North OCT 16,09

SEOUL (AFP) – A South Korean team began talks in North Korea Friday on family reunions and other humanitarian issues, after a week of mixed signals from the communist state about its willingness to improve frosty ties.The meeting in the town of Kaesong just north of the heavily fortified border is the second this week. During talks on Wednesday the North made a rare expression of regret to the South for causing a cross-border flood which killed six people.But Pyongyang began the week by test-firing five missiles. On Thursday its navy accused the South of sending warships across the disputed sea border and warned of possible armed clashes.

Unification ministry official Kim Eyi-Do and Red Cross official Kim Seong-Kuen began talks with North Korean officials at 10:00 am (0100 GMT), the ministry said.As part of a series of conciliatory gestures, the North last month allowed the resumption of a reunion programme for families separated since the 1950-1953 war.South Korea will propose holding more reunions next month and next February. It wants to put the programme on a regular basis since many elderly people are dying before they have the chance to meet loved ones.Seoul officials say North Korea, which was hit with tougher United Nations sanctions after this year's nuclear and missile tests, is expected to raise the issues of rice and fertiliser aid and the resumption of lucrative tourism programmes for southerners.South Korea used to send around 400,000 tons of rice and 300,000 tons of fertiliser a year to its hungry neighbour. Relations worsened when a conservative administration took office in Seoul in February 2008 and there have been no government shipments since then.The South says cross-border relations cannot fundamentally improve till the North agrees to scrap its nuclear programme. But Unification Minister Hyun In-Taek said Thursday that limited humanitarian assistance will be provided regardless of the political and security.

NKorea warns naval incursions could spark clash By HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press Writer – Thu Oct 15, 2:50 pm ET

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea warned South Korea on Thursday that a spate of incursions along their disputed sea border could spark a naval clash, in what analysts said was a threat to reinflame tensions if it doesn't get what it wants from recent conciliatory gestures.After months of provocations including nuclear and missile tests, North Korea has recently reached out to Seoul and Washington. It freed American and South Korean detainees, lifted restrictions on border crossings and resumed reunions of families separated by the Korean War.This week, however, it has sent mixed signals to the outside world, starting with a barrage of short-range missile tests on Monday.Media reports said the North appeared ready to test-fire more missiles, but it offered a rare apology Wednesday for releasing a torrent of water from a dam that caused a deadly flood in South Korea.On Thursday, the North accused South Korean warships of broaching its territory in waters off their west coast — the scene of deadly naval skirmishes in 1999 and 2002 .The reckless military provocations by warships of the South Korean navy have created such a serious situation that a naval clash may break out between the two sides in these waters, its navy said in a statement carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency.Despite the harsh rhetoric, North Korean officials are to sit down with South Korean counterparts on Friday to discuss more reunions of separated families.The North's conflicting actions appear to be the result of a thorough calculation" by its leader, Kim Jong Il, said Yang Moo-jin, a professor at Seoul's University of North Korean Studies.

Kim's aim is to pressure South Korea to respond more actively to North Korea's outreach by showing that his government can raise tensions once again if it fails to get what it wants, Yang said.North Korea has offered to resume key joint projects with South Korea and has proposed direct talks with the U.S., but neither initiative has yet been accepted. Washington and Seoul have also shown no signs of easing pressure on North Korea to disarm through U.N. sanctions imposed after its May nuclear test.It's time for North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons now,South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said in a meeting with foreign diplomats in Seoul on Thursday.South Korea's navy expressed very serious regret over the North's warning Thursday, saying it could spark unnecessary tension on the Korean peninsula.The warning, however, is not expected to lead to the rancor that followed the North's nuclear test.They've repeated (such threats) for a long time. We don't really care about it,a Defense Ministry official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. He said South Korea would not bolster its security posture.Yoo Ho-yeol, a professor of North Korean studies at Korea University, linked this week's naval warning and missile tests to North Korean national pride, saying its government wants to show it didn't make the goodwill gestures as a result of the U.N. sanctions.South Korea's top official for inter-Korean relations indicated Thursday that Seoul is prepared to offer North Korea food aid without conditions as a humanitarian gesture, an apparent softening of the government's stance.We will provide limited humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable groups in North Korea regardless of political and security circumstances, Unification Minister Hyun In-taek said in a speech to the European Union Chamber of Commerce in Korea.We will do our part to end the suffering of our brothers in the North.For a decade, South Korea was one of biggest donors to the impoverished North. But the flow of aid from Seoul stopped when President Lee took office last year saying any help depended on North Korea's denuclearization.

China aid could mar efforts to rid NKorea of nukes Thu Oct 15, 9:17 am ET

SEOUL, South Korea – China's recent offer of aid to North Korea could undermine U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang and help feed a cycle of failed negotiations aimed at ending the isolated country's nuclear program, a former U.S. negotiator said Thursday.Last week, Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao visited the impoverished North, which relies heavily on outside assistance to feed its people, armed with a reportedly $20 million aid package. In return, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il told Wen he would rejoin six-party nuclear disarmament negotiations if direct talks with the U.S. were fruitful.Wen's trip came as North Korea began to take a series of conciliatory steps after months of raising tensions including staging nuclear and missile tests. Analysts say the about-face shows the regime is feeling the pain of U.N. sanctions adopted with Chinese support to punish Pyongyang for the May nuclear test.Victor Cha, a former deputy American nuclear negotiator for North Korea, said that China's fairly substantial package of assistance could lead to the repetition of a failed negotiating pattern with North Korea.We end up in the same cycle, which is they get some assistance to come back to talks. There is some negotiation that leads to some interim steps. There is another crisis, another provocation and the cycle starts all over again,Cha said at a forum in Seoul on the nuclear standoff.

A phase like the one Cha described appears to just have ended. North Korea agreed in 2007 to disable its nuclear facilities in return for international aid. In June last year, it blew up the cooling tower at its main nuclear complex in a show of its commitment. But its denuclearization soon came to a halt as it wrangled with Washington over how to verify its past nuclear activities.Cha also said he suspects the North appears to be trying to win recognition as a nuclear state like India.Now a Georgetown University professor, Cha criticized Beijing for trying to take a neutral position,instead of aggressively seeking to denuclearize North Korea.China is North Korea's last remaining major ally, and as a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, it wields the authority to block sanctions resolutions or water them down.
