EUS SOLUTION TO WORLD ECONOMIC TROUBLES

STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

AP Investigation: Ike environmental toll apparent By DINA CAPPIELLO, FRANK BASS and CAIN BURDEAU, Associated Press Writers OCT 5,08

WASHINGTON - Hurricane Ike's winds and massive waves destroyed oil platforms, tossed storage tanks and punctured pipelines. The environmental damage only now is becoming apparent: At least a half million gallons of crude oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico and the marshes, bayous and bays of Louisiana and Texas, according to an analysis of federal data by The Associated Press. In the days before and after the deadly storm, companies and residents reported at least 448 releases of oil, gasoline and dozens of other substances into the air and water and onto the ground in Louisiana and Texas. The hardest hit places were industrial centers near Houston and Port Arthur, Texas, as well as oil production facilities off Louisiana's coast, according to the AP's analysis.We are dealing with a multitude of different types of pollution here ... everything from diesel in the water to gasoline to things like household chemicals, said Larry Chambers, a petty officer with the U.S. Coast Guard Command Center in Pasadena, Texas.The Coast Guard, with the Environmental Protection Agency and state agencies, has responded to more than 3,000 pollution reports associated with the storm and its surge along the upper Texas coast. Most callers complain about abandoned propane tanks, paint cans and other hazardous materials containers turning up in marshes, backyards and other places.No major oil spills or hazardous materials releases have been identified, but nearly 1,500 sites still need to be cleaned up.

The Coast Guard's National Response Center in Washington collects information on oil spills and chemical and biological releases and passes it to agencies working on the ground. The AP analyzed all reports received by the center from Sept. 11 through Sept. 18 for Louisiana and Texas, providing an early snapshot of Ike's environmental toll.With the storm approaching, refineries and chemical plants shut down as a precaution, burning off hundreds of thousands of pounds of organic compounds and toxic chemicals. In other cases, power failures sent chemicals such as ammonia directly into the atmosphere. Such accidental releases probably will not result in penalties by regulators because the releases are being blamed on the storm.Texas Gov. Rick Perry also suspended all rules, including environmental ones, that would inhibit or prevent companies preparing for or responding to Ike.Power outages also caused sewage pipes to stop flowing. Elsewhere, the storm's surge dredged up smelly and oxygen-deprived marsh mud, which killed fish and caused residents to complain of nausea and headaches from the odor.At times, a new spill or release was reported to the Coast Guard every five minutes to 10 minutes. Some were extremely detailed, such as this report from Sept. 14: Caller is making a report of a 6-by-4-foot container that was found floating in the Houston Ship Channel. Caller states the container was also labeled UM 3264, which is a corrosive material. The caller most likely meant UN3264, an industrial coding that refers to a variety of different acids.State and federal officials have collected thousands of abandoned drums, paint cans and other containers.Other reports were more vague. One caller reported a sheen from an underwater pipeline and said the substance was spewing from the pipe.The AP's analysis found that, by far, the most common contaminant left in Ike's wake was crude oil — the lifeblood and main industry of both Texas and Louisiana. In the week of reports analyzed, enough crude oil was spilled nearly to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, and more could be released, officials said, as platforms and pipelines were turned back on.

The Minerals Management Service, which oversees oil production in federal waters offshore, said the storm destroyed at least 52 oil platforms of roughly 3,800 in the Gulf of Mexico. Thirty-two more were severely damaged. But there was only one confirmed report of an oil spill — a leak of 8,400 gallons that officials said left no trace because it dissipated with the winds and currents.Air contaminants were the second-most common release, mostly from the chemical plants and refineries along the coast.About half the crude oil was reported spilled at a facility operated by St. Mary Land and Exploration Co. on Goat Island, Texas, a spit of uninhabited land north of the heavily damaged Bolivar Peninsula. The surge from the storm flooded the plant, leveling its dirt containment wall and snapping off the pipes connecting its eight storage tanks, which held the oil and water produced from two wells in Galveston Bay.By the time the company reached the wreckage by boat more than 24 hours after Ike's landfall, the tanks were empty. Only a spattering of the roughly 266,000 gallons of oil spilled was left, and that is already cleaned up, according to Greg Leyendecker, the company's regional manager. The rest vanished, likely into the Gulf of Mexico.Ike's fury might have helped prevent worse environmental damage. Its rough water, heavy rains and wind helped disperse pollution. Air quality tests by Texas environmental regulators found no problems even in communities near industrial complexes, where power outages and high winds in some cases knocked out emergency devices that safely burn off chemicals. But the storm also zapped many of the state's permanent air pollution monitors in the region. We came out of this a lot better than we could have been, especially thinking where the storm hit, said Kelly Cook, the homeland security coordinator for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Katrina ranked as among the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history, with about 9 million gallons of oil spilled. But Ike's storm surge was less severe than feared — 12 feet rather than 20-feet plus — and the dikes, levees and bulkheads built around the region's heavy industry mostly held. Much of that infrastructure is protected by a 1960s-era Army Corps of Engineers system of 15-foot levees similar to the one around New Orleans that failed catastrophically during Katrina. In that storm, floodwaters dislodged an oil tank at a Murphy Oil Corp. refinery in Meraux, La., spilling more than 1 million gallons of oil into the surrounding neighborhoods, canals and playgrounds. Ike's toll on wildlife is still unfolding. Only a few pelicans and osprey turned up oiled, but the storm upended nature. Winds blew more than 1,000 baby squirrels from their nests. The storm's surge pushed saltwater into freshwater marshes and bayous, killing grasses where cattle graze and displacing alligators. Flooding also stranded cows. The storm also may mangle migration. The Texas coast is a pit stop for birds heading south for the winter. But Ike wiped out many of their food sources, stripping berries from trees and nectar-producing flowers from plants, said Gina Donovan, executive director of the Houston Audubon Society, which operates 17 bird sanctuaries in Texas. It is going to cause wildlife to suffer for awhile, she said. Along the Houston Ship Channel, a tanker truck floating in 12-feet-high flood waters slammed into a storage tank at the largest biodiesel refinery in the country, causing a leak of roughly 2,100 gallons of vegetable oil. The plant, owned by GreenHunter Energy Inc., uses chicken fat and beef tallow to make biodiesel shipped overseas. It opened just months earlier. Oneal Galloway of Slidell, La., called to report oil in his neighborhood. The town, north of Lake Pontchartrain, was flooded with Ike's surge. He said oil had washed down the streets. It looked like a rainbow in the water, Galloway told the AP. The residue of the oil is all over our fences, there were brown spots in the yard where it killed the grass. The likely culprit was not a refinery or oil well, according to Shannon Davis, the director of the parish's public works department, but a neighbor brewing biodiesel in his backyard with used cooking grease.

Marie weakens further off coast of Mexico Sun Oct 5, 5:28 AM ET

MIAMI - The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Marie continues to weaken far off Mexico's Pacific coast. The center says Marie has maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph). At 5 a.m., the storm was essentially stationary, centered about 830 miles (1,335 kilometers) off the southern tip of Baja California.Marie was the sixth hurricane of the eastern Pacific season.Tropical storm Norbert is also expected to remain well off the coast of Mexico. On Sunday morning, it was located about 240 miles (390 kilometers) south of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, drifting west.

Salmonella sickens people in 12 states OCT 5,08

WASHINGTON - The government is urging consumers to thoroughly cook frozen chicken dinners after 32 people in 12 states were sickened with salmonella poisoning. The health warning by the U.S. Department of Agriculture cited frozen dishes in which the chicken is raw, but breaded or pre-browned, giving the appearance of being cooked. They include chicken cordon bleu, chicken Kiev, or chicken breasts stuffed with cheese, vegetables or other items.USDA said many of the people who became ill apparently did not follow the package's cooking instructions and microwaved the chicken dishes even though the instructions did not provide for it. Microwaving didn't heat the meals enough to kill the salmonella.The department said consumers should cook chicken products to a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued the warning Friday after Minnesota health officials found a link between the chicken dinners with salmonella illnesses reported in Minnesota and 11 other states. It did not name the states in its release, and did not immediately respond to a message left at its press office Saturday seeking that information.Symptoms of salmonella poisoning include diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever within eight to 72 hours. It can be life-threatening, especially to those with weak immune systems such as infants and the elderly.On the Net:Department of Agriculture: http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usdahome

Europeans scramble to save failing banks By MATT MOORE, AP Business Writer
OCT 5,08


STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Governments across Europe scrambled to save failing banks on Sunday, working largely on their own a day after leaders of the continent's four biggest economies called for tighter regulation and coordinated response to the global meltdown. In Berlin, the German government held crisis talks after the collapse of a ballyhooed euro35 billion (US$48.4 billion) bailout of Hypo Real Estate AG, the country's second biggest property lender.German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Europe's biggest economy would not allow the distress of one financial institution to distress the entire system.In Iceland — particularly hard-hit by the credit crunch — government officials and banking chiefs were discussing a possible rescue plan for the country's overstretched commercial banks.Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme said he aims to find a new owner for troubled bank Fortis NV to restore confidence in the company before the opening of markets on Monday.The bank's Dutch operations were nationalized amid fears they could go insolvent.

British treasury chief Alistair Darling said that he was ready to take pretty big steps that we wouldn't take in ordinary times to help the country in weather the credit crunch.Darling told the BBC that the government, which has provided billions of pounds (dollars) in support to the banking sector, that it was important to take generalized action as well as being ready to take particular action if you get a particular problem with an individual bank.In the past year the government has acted to nationalize struggling mortgage lenders Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley.On Saturday, the leaders of Germany, France, Britain and Italy met to discuss the growing meltdown which has leapfrogged across the Atlantic from the U.S. to Europe, but shied away from the massive US$700 billion (euro506 billion) bailout passed by the U.S. Congress a day earlier that President Bush signed into law.While Europe's four largest economies pledged to coordinate national responses to help banks in distress, their failure to agree an EU-wide plan showcased the divisions in Europe on how to deal with the crisis.France had suggested a multibillion-euro (multibillion-dollar) EU-wide government bailout plan, but backed off after Germany said banks must find their own way out.That was telling, given crisis talks aimed at keeping Hypo Real Estate afloat. The firm said Saturday that the rescue plan had fallen apart after private lenders withdrew support, a key element to the proposal that had already been approved by the EU earlier this week.

It was not known if the government, which planned to inject nearly euro27 billion (US$37.35 billion)would raise its stake in the bailout package.In Iceland, — one of the countries most heavily exposed to the credit squeeze — government officials and banking chiefs were discussing a possible rescue plan for the country's overstretched commercial banks.Icelandic banks expanded rapidly after deregulation of the domestic financial market in the 1990s and now have combined foreign liabilities in excess of euro100 billion (US$138.34 billion) — dwarfing the tiny country's gross domestic product of euro14 billion (US$19.37 billion.The government last week took over Iceland's third-largest bank, Glitnir, a decision that prompted major credit ratings agencies to downgrade both Iceland's four major banks and its government credit rating.Looming large was a growing sense that the Federal Reserve and Europe's major central banks were ready to institute emergency cuts to their benchmark interest rates this week. None of the banks, including the European Central Bank and Bank of England, have commented on potential rate hikes or cuts. But analysts believe the Bank of England, which meets this Thursday, will likely lower its rate from 5 percent. The ECB left its rate unchanged at 4.25 percent on Thursday, but opened the door to a rate cut. Robert Brusca, chief economist at the New York-based Fact and Opinion Economics, said that the ECB does issue such a cut it would a be a sign that they're really, really scared.

Merkel: Germany working hard to keep Hypo afloat By PATRICK McGROARTY, Associated Press Writer OCT 5,08

BERLIN - German Chancellor Angela Merkel says her government is working hard to keep Hypo Real Estate AG afloat because it will not let the failure of any company disrupt Europe's biggest economy. She tells reporters: We will not allow the distress of one financial institution to distress the entire system. For that reason, we are working hard to secure Hypo Real Estate.Merkel says the rescue plan would ensure that anyone who made reckless market decisions would be made to answer for their actions.The talks came a day after a euro35 billion (US$48.4 billion) rescue plan for the blue chip company that was approved by the European Union on Thursday unraveled at the seams.

EU leaders to seek early release euro funds: Brown Sun Oct 5, 4:16 AM ET

PARIS (AFP) - European leaders have agreed to ask for the early release of 32 billion euros (25 billion pounds) in European funds to help small businesses weather the global finance crisis, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said. This crisis that has come from America has affected all businesses, so we agreed to ask the European Investment Bank to frontload 25 billion pounds of finance for small business loans, Brown said on Saturday following a crisis meeting in Paris.We also agreed to do far more to clean up the system where there has been irresponsibility and we agreed that we will set up a college of regulators, he told a joint press conference with French, German and Italian leaders.Brown said before heading to the talks he would seek the release of 15 billion euros (11.7 billion pounds) from the European Investment Bank to help provide small business loans.EU finance ministers agreed earlier this month to hike public lending to credit-starved small and mid-sized firms, allowing the European Investment Bank would lend 30 billion euros to such firms by 2011.They also authorised the EIB to increase its lending to 15 billion euros over the 2008-2009 period.Asked afterwards to spell out the European proposal, Brown said: The initial proposal was 12 billion pounds for first two years, 25 billion over four years. We're now asking to frontload all 25 billion now.Brown, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi were meeting to try to coordinate their response to the crisis rocking the world's banks.The four leaders vowed to help European banks and financial institutions in trouble but also to sanction the heads of failed banks.

Where action has to be taken we will continue to do whatever is necessary to preserve the stability of the financial system, Brown told the press conference.The message to families and businesses is that, as our central banks are already doing, liquidity will be assured in order to preserve confidence and stability.The European leaders called jointly for a Group of Eight industrial powers summit as soon as possible to review rules governing financial markets.We agreed that we must do more to coordinate our response in times of crisis and in the interest of stability, Brown said.I believe that the coordination that we are showing across Europe will now be repeated by the international meetings we are proposing.

EU leaders make vows not plans in face of crisis By EMMA VANDORE and AOIFE WHITE, Associated Press Writers Sat Oct 4, 6:39 PM ET

PARIS - Europe's four major powers vowed Saturday to do all they could to prevent Wall Street's turmoil from destabilizing their banking systems — even as a $48 billion plan to save a German lender fell apart. But aside from vague statements of intent and calls for tighter regulation, the leaders of Germany, France, Britain and Italy shied away from the sort of massive bailout passed by the U.S. Congress on Friday.Europe's four largest economies pledged to coordinate national responses to help banks in distress, but their failure to agree an EU-wide plan reflects divisions in Europe on how to deal with the crisis washing up on the continent's shores from the United States.France had mooted a multibillion-dollar EU-wide government bailout plan, but backed off after Germany said banks must find their own way out.The EU's failure during the past week to pull together on dealing with the crisis has caused worry. Both Ireland and Greece angered their EU neighbors by acting independently and guaranteeing to protect all savings.The Saturday afternoon summit was arranged hastily with the aim of reassuring jittery markets and investors. A day earlier, U.S. legislators approved a $700 billion government plan to buy up bad debt from banks and help unfreeze lending.The four leaders — French President Nicolas Sarkozy, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi — vowed to ensure the soundness and stability of Europe's banking and financial system, but they gave few specifics.

Instead, they took a swipe at European subsidy rules designed to ensure fair competition by preventing governments propping up failing companies.Given the exceptional circumstances, they said, EU regulators should be flexible on laws that restrict how much governments can give companies in trouble.European states have pumped billions of dollars into banks to keep them afloat over the last week, trying to assure savers that their money was safe and avert a panic that has frozen lending across the world.The latest institution to run into trouble was Germany's No. 2 commercial property lender, Hypo Real Estate Holding AG, which said its $48 billion rescue plan had unraveled Saturday when private banks pulled out. They said they did not want to provide the bank with credit.The European leaders also demanded more room for maneuver on EU economy rules as European growth slows sharply. A statement distributed after the meeting said guidelines for EU nations to keep budget deficits under 3 percent of GDP should reflect the current exceptional circumstances.France's deficit is veering near the limit, and other euro nations may also come close or exceed the maximum — reversing recent efforts for the 15 nations that share the currency to reduce debt and deficits.Easier for the leaders to target were the golden parachutes that allow chief executives of failing firms to walk away with millions in leaving bonuses.Sarkozy, the summit host, said all four nations pledged that in cases of public support to banks in difficulty, the managers will be punished, and shareholders as well will bear some of the consequences.They pledged to help small companies seeking credit by speeding up the release of $41.5 billion in European Investment Bank loans.

Sarkozy suggested that, with the United States focused on its November presidential election, it was important that Europe act to reshape a more responsible global economy.We want to put down the foundations of a capitalism of the entrepreneur and not of the speculator. We want transparency, we want moralization. We want the creation of value. We want people to have confidence, he said. But he recognized the need for global cooperation, calling for a summit of world leaders to tighten control over hedge funds and other high-risk investment funds that don't currently face all the same rules as banks and insurers. Associated Press writers Greg Keller and Laurent Pirot in Paris and Patrick McGroarty in Berlin contributed to this story.

Citi: Wells Fargo blocked from buying Wachovia OCT 5,08

NEW YORK - The fight over control of Wachovia intensified Saturday, as a judge temporarily agreed to block the sale of the bank to Wells Fargo, Citigroup announced in a news release. State Supreme Court Justice Charles Ramos issued the order blocking the sale of Wachovia Corp., which Wells Fargo & Co. had agreed to purchase in a $14.8 billion deal.Citigroup Inc. accused Wells Fargo of trying to cut off its earlier takeover offer of Wachovia's banking operations for $2.1 billion in a deal struck with the assistance of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. On Friday, four days after that deal was struck, Wells Fargo said it was buying Wachovia.The litigation pits two of the largest remaining financial institutions against one another as the ongoing credit crisis leads the federal government to arrange marriages and sales among banking entities.Wells Fargo and Citigroup did not respond to messages left late Saturday seeking comment about the temporary order blocking the sale.Wachovia spokeswoman Christy Phillips-Brown said in a statement the company believes its agreement with Wells Fargo is proper, valid and ... in the best interest of shareholders, employees and the American taxpayers.She said Citigroup is free to make a better offer to Wachovia under that agreement.The FDIC said Friday that it stands behind its previously announced agreement with Citigroup. It also said it would review all proposals and work with regulators of all three institutions to resolve the tug-of-war.Citigroup says it has an exclusivity agreement that bars Wachovia from talking with other potential buyers. Its shares fell sharply after the surprise announcement of the Wells Fargo-Wachovia agreement.

Pope to lead marathon Bible reading on Italian TV Oct 2 01:13 PM US/Eastern AFP

Pope Benedict XVI will kick off a week-long reading of the Bible on Italian television starting Sunday, with readers to include three former presidents and Oscar-winning actor Roberto Benigni. Some 2,000 people will take turns reading the Bible's 73 books, from the Old Testament's Genesis to the New Testament's Book of Revelations, at Rome's Holy Cross in Jerusalem basilica.

The pope will record the first reading at the Vatican.

Senator for life Giulio Andreotti, former presidents Francesco Cossiga, Oscar Luigi Scalfaro and Carlo Azeglio Ciampi as well as several ministers in the centre-right government of Silvio Berlusconi including his top aide Gianni Letta will be among the readers. From the world of entertainment, Benigni (Life Is Beautiful) will be joined by filmmaker Michele Placido and blind tenor Andrea Bocelli. A number of Muslims and Jews will also take part, but Rome's grand rabbi Riccardo Di Segni declined an invitation, telling Italian media the event seemed too Catholic for him though he had total respect for the initiative. Di Segni will however become the first Jewish holy man to take part in a bishops' synod to open Sunday at the Vatican. The Jewish holy book the Torah comprises the first five books of the Old Testament, while the New Testament is exclusive to Christianity. Muslims consider the Bible as a precursor to their holy book, the Koran.

Israel Accuses North Korea of Black Market Weapons Trade in Middle East
Saturday, October 04, 2008


VIENNA, Austria — Israel accused North Korea on Saturday of supplying at least half a dozen Mideast governments with nuclear technology or conventional arms.World powers at a 145-nation Vienna meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency at the same time urged North Korea to stop reactivating its weapons-producing atomic program.The comments focused on North Korea's black market role and its reversal of a commitment to mothball its nuclear activities in exchange for trade and security guarantees.In the latest setback, U.S. chief negotiator Christopher Hill returned Friday to South Korea from a three-day trip to the North to try to salvage a six-party disarmament pact after North Korea reversed the dismantling of its nuclear facilities. He was hoping to draw the government in Pyongyang back to the negotiating table with an offer of a face-saving compromise.U.S. State Department spokesman Robert Wood in Washington told reporters the North was still moving previously stored equipment from its nuclear facilities back to its original location.In Vienna, Russia, China, Japan and South Korea urged the North to honor its nuclear pledge, shortly before the gathering — the IAEA general conference — passed a resolution expressing the same sentiments.North Korea's actions will cause serious consequences to the prospect of the six-party talks, a South Korean statement said, referring to North Korea and the five nations engaging it on the nuclear issue — the U.S., Japan, South Korea, China and Russia. Japan expressed serious concern about the North's moves and urged it to return to the terms of its disarmament for aid deal with the other five countries.

Separately, Israeli delegate David Danieli accused North Korea of being a black market supplier of conventional arms or nuclear technology to Middle East nations covertly trying to break out of the nonproliferation fold.While he did not name the at least half dozen countries suspected of accepting the North's help, he appeared to be referring in part to Iran and Syria, which are both under IAEA investigation.

Israel — which is widely considered to have nuclear weapons — refuses to either confirm or deny its status.Besides Iran, Syria and Libya, U.S. officials have said that North Korea's customer list for missiles or related components going back to the mid-1980s includes Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.U.S. government officials have also said that A.Q. Khan — the Pakistani scientist who confessed in 2004 to running an illegal nuclear market — had close connections with North Korea, trading in equipment, facilitating international deals for components and swapping nuclear know-how.In 2004, the CIA director at the time, George Tenet, testified before Congress that North Korea had shown a willingness to sell complete systems and components for missile programs that have allowed other governments to acquire longer-range missiles.The Middle East remains on the receiving end of the DPRK's reckless activities, Danieli told the meeting, alluding the North by the abbreviation of its name.At least half a dozen countries in the region ... have become eager recipients of the North's arms and nuclear sales, he said.Concerns about Iran focus on its refusal to scrap a secretly developed uranium enrichment program that could be retooled to produce fissile warhead material if Tehran were to choose that path. Tehran is also suspected of hiding past efforts to develop a nuclear weapons program and of basing its Shahab-3 missile on a North Korean model.

Rejecting any suggestion of North Korean aid, Ali Ashgar Soltanieh, Tehran's chief IAEA delegate, told The Associated Press that Iran's nuclear and missile programs were developed without the help of any other country.Syria surfaced on the IAEA's radar screen after Israeli warplanes last year destroyed what the U.S. says was a reactor of North Korean design that — when completed — was meant to produce plutonium. Both Syria and Iran — which is under U.N. sanctions for its nuclear defiance — deny having weapons ambitions.Diplomats have told The Associated Press that the IAEA has been forwarded intelligence that outlines years of extensive cooperation between the Syrians and teams of visiting North Korean nuclear officials.

Western intelligence agencies also have reported that Iran's Shahab-3 missile is based on a North Korean rocket, though Tehran denies it.According to U.S. officials and outside experts, North Korea has sold its military goods to at least 18 countries, mostly in Africa and the Middle East.North Korea's catalog has included ballistic missiles and related components, conventional weapons such as mobile rocket launchers, and nuclear technology.North Korea had been disabling its nuclear facilities at its Yongbyon complex but abruptly stopped in mid-August, citing Washington's refusal to remove it from a list of state sponsors of terrorism.The disarmament process snagged over Washington's request that North Korea agree to a verification system to account for its nuclear arsenal as a condition for removing the country from the terrorism list.North Korea exploded a nuclear device in 2006.

MUSLIM NATIONS

EZEKIEL 38:1-12
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

U.S. not vying with Russia over Central Asia: Rice By Susan Cornwell
OCT 5,08


ASTANA (Reuters) - The United States is not trying to poach Russia's allies in Central Asia, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Sunday during a visit to oil-rich Kazakhstan. Moscow is sensitive to visits by top U.S. officials to its neighbors in the region, and has in the past accused Western nations of trying to lure away its allies.Speaking after talks with Kazakh Foreign Minister Marat Tazhin, Rice rejected any notion of growing rivalry with Moscow.This is not some kind of contest for the affection of Kazakhstan between the countries of the region, she said.She said Washington was not trying to take allies away from Russia -- but nor did she recognize a special Russian sphere of influence in the region. We don't see any of this as a zero-sum game, she told reporters earlier.Washington sees Kazakhstan, Central Asia's biggest economy, as crucial to expanding its presence in Central Asia, a vast energy-rich region wedged between Russia, Iran, Afghanistan and China.The former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan has played a careful balancing act by keeping smooth ties with Russia, while looking to the West to diversify oil exports.

Russia is our strategic partner, said Tazhin, speaking alongside Rice in English. At the same time you should understand that our relationship with the United States has a stable and strategic character.Rice, in Kazakhstan just two weeks after Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visited, was due to meet President Nursultan Nazarbayev during her five-hour stopover.

GEORGIAN WAR

Russia's war with Georgia in August prompted Russia's allies to rethink their partnerships with Moscow and Western nations.Nazarbayev held large-scale military exercises with both NATO and Russia in the two weeks preceding Rice's visit.Energy was high on Rice's agenda during her visit to Kazakhstan, where U.S. firms have invested billions of dollars in oil money. But no concrete deals are expected to be signed.Kazakhstan's record on human rights and democracy is being closely watched in the West ahead of the country's chairmanship of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 2010.When it was offered the chairmanship last year, Kazakhstan promised to improve its democratic standards by such measures as making it easier for political parties to register.They are set commitments and I expect Kazakhstan to live up to them, Rice said, adding her government had raised some individual human rights cases with the Kazakhs.Nazarbayev, in power since Soviet times, is accused by some rights groups of tolerating no dissent. Kazakhstan has never held an election judged free and fair by Western monitors. Nazarbayev's party controls all seats in parliament.(Writing by Maria Golovnina; editing by Andrew Roche)

EU Georgia monitors see sign of Russian pullback By Matt Robinson
OCT 5,08


TBILISI (Reuters) - EU ceasefire monitors in Georgia reported the dismantling of a Russian checkpoint near breakaway South Ossetia on Sunday, saying it was the first open sign of a promised Russian troop pullback by October 10. A spokesman with the European Union monitoring mission said the checkpoint was in the Ali region of Georgia, northwest of the town of Gori.Monitors have been observing the dismantling of the checkpoint, the spokesman told Reuters. This is the first open sign, he said, in a reference to the expected Russian troop withdrawal following a five-day war between Russia and Georgia in August.The regional police chief told Reuters the checkpoint was in the village of Nabakhtevi.Russia sent forces into Georgia to repel an offensive by Tbilisi to retake South Ossetia from pro-Moscow separatists. Moscow said it would pull back troops by October 10 from security zones it established on Georgian territory adjoining South Ossetia and another breakaway region, Abkhazia.

The October 10 deadline was set under a French-brokered ceasefire. The EU deployed an observer mission of more than 200 unarmed monitors on October 1, with the initial task of monitoring the Russian pullback.The Nabakhtevi checkpoint is west of the main conflict zone, in a region that did not see the displacement of villagers witnessed in the area running directly north of Gori up to the de facto border, where human rights groups say militias and paramilitaries looted and burned Georgian homes.

POSITIVE STEP

In a previous withdrawal from the Black Sea area of Poti last month, Russian troops spent days dismantling checkpoints and moving supplies and equipment before finally pulling out.Germany was quick to welcome the sign of withdrawal.It's a positive first step which must be followed by others, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said in a statement published by his office on Sunday.It's important for the stabilization of the Caucasus and for the forthcoming talks in Geneva that the Russian pullback from the security zones around South Ossetia and Abkhazia is completed quickly and according to the agreed timetable.Internationally mediated talks are due in Geneva on October 15 to discuss security in the region and the return of refugees.Months of skirmishes between separatists and Georgian troops erupted into war in August when Georgia sent troops and tanks to retake South Ossetia, a rebel Georgian province which threw off Tbilisi's rule in the early 1990s.

Russian forces subsequently drove Georgian government troops out of South Ossetia. Moscow's troops then pushed further into Georgia, saying they needed to prevent more Georgian attacks.The West has condemned Russia for a disproportionate response to Georgia's actions and demanded Moscow pull back its troops from Georgian territory outside the conflict zones.Despite international censure, Moscow has also recognized both rebel regions as independent states and plans to station some 7,600 soldiers there. It says the EU monitors will not be allowed to operate in either South Ossetia or Abkhazia.(Additional reporting by Margarita Antidze; editing by Myra MacDonald)

FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU Report: Palestinians on alert for Hamas West Bank takeover,Israel expected to retreat from strategic territory as result of U.S.-backed talks October 04, 2008 7:00 pm Eastern By Aaron Klein 2008 WorldNetDaily

JERUSALEM – Security forces associated with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah organization are on alert for a possible Hamas takeover of the West Bank, a pan-Arab newspaper reported today.WND two weeks ago quoted security officials stating there was specific information Hamas was planning an eventual West Bank takeover.Now the London-based daily al-Sharq al-Awsat quoted Fatah security sources stating Hamas may assassinate Fatah officials as part of a larger plan to takeover the West Bank just as it seized control of the Gaza Strip in a violent coup last summer.It also quoted unnamed Hamas members in the West Bank as saying a West Bank takeover is in the works.Israel is currently negotiating a retreat from the West Bank as part of talks initiated at last November's U.S.-backed Annapolis Summit, which sought to create a Fatah-led Palestinian state before January.While Al-Sharq al-Awsat quoted unnamed Hamas sources, WND recently conducted an exclusive interview with Mahmoud Al-Zahar, the Hamas chief in Gaza, who said Hamas are the rightful representatives of the Palestinian people and should control the entire West Bank just as they rule the Gaza Strip.According to our rights, we are the elected majority, and a majority in a democracy should control all the Palestinian areas, whether in the West Bank or in the Gaza Strip. This is not an extraordinary issue, said Al-Zahar, who is considered the second most powerful Hamas leader following the group's overall chief, Khaled Meshaal, who resides in exile in Damascus.Do you respect democracy? If you respect democracy, the elections in January '06 indicated Hamas is the majority and it should run the administration in Gaza and the West Bank, said al-Zahar, speaking from Gaza.Al-Zahar was referring to Palestinian legislative elections in 2006 in which Hamas was victorious by a large margin. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas unilaterally disbanded the Hamas-led Palestinian government after Hamas seized control of Gaza last summer.

The Hamas chief's comments to WND came amid fears in the Israeli intelligence community Hamas eventually may attempt to take over the strategic West Bank just as it seized Gaza, particularly if Israel withdraws from the territory.In a dramatic statement last month, Olmert declared at a Knesset meeting that Greater Israel is over.Greater Israel is over. There is no such thing. Anyone who talks that way is deluding themselves, Olmert stated.Greater Israel is a reference to territories captured by Israel during the 1967 Six Day War, including the Gaza Strip, West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem.Security officials in Jerusalem are warning if Israel withdraws, Abbas' forces may not be strong enough to contend with controlling the West Bank without the aid of the Israel Defense Forces.Yuval Diskin, head of Israel's Shin Bet Security Services, estimated during a Knesset meeting last November that if control of the West Bank were handed over to Abbas, Israel would suffer a significant threat to its security.Palestinian security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, admitted to WND they would have trouble controlling the West Bank without Israeli intervention.According to the officials, Fatah's intelligence apparatus routinely hands the IDF lists of Hamas militants that threaten Fatah rule, requesting that Israel make arrests, although Fatah has been stepping up direct arrests of Hamas gunmen in recent weeks.Perhaps foreshadowing coming tensions, Hamas' so-called military wing yesterday urged its gunmen in the West Bank to use force if security men loyal to Fatah try to arrest them.

Meanwhile, Israeli and Palestinian security officials told WND they have specific information Hamas is quietly setting the stages for a possible West Bank takeover attempt. The officials said that among other things, Hamas has been acquiring weaponry in the West Bank and has set up a sophisticated system of communication between cells for a seizure attempt.In what is considered the most threatening Hamas move, according to the officials, the terror group is thought to have heavily infiltrated major Fatah forces in the West Bank and has been attempting to buy off Fatah militia members, many times successfully.The issue of Hamas infiltration of Fatah was thought to have been the Achilles heel that led to the terror group's takeover last summer of the entire Gaza Strip, including dozens of major, U.S.-backed Fatah security compounds there. Hamas' seizure is thought to be a partial consequence of Israel evacuating Gaza in 2005.Hamas' infiltration of Fatah was so extensive, according to top Palestinian intelligence sources speaking to WND, it included the chiefs of several prominent Fatah security forces, including Yussef Issa, director of the Preventative Security Services, the main Fatah police force. Issa regularly coordinated security with the U.S. and Israel.In a bid to strengthen Fatah, the U.S. has been providing the group's militias with weapons, financial aid and advanced training conducted an American-run bases in the West Bank and Jordan.

But WND previously reported the U.S.-trained security forces have been failing at basic anti-terror missions.

Officials say Taliban mad over alleged US strike By ISHTIAQ MAHSUD, Associated Press Writer Sun Oct 5, 7:34 AM ET

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan - The Taliban are unusually angry about the latest suspected U.S. missile strike in Pakistan, a sign a top militant may have died in the attack, officials and residents said Sunday amid reports the death toll rose by two to 24. Elsewhere in Pakistan's northwest, an official said some 15,000 Afghans had left a tribal region the military is trying to wrest from insurgents, but that tens of thousands more had yet to meet a government ultimatum to get out by Sunday.

The U.S. has ramped up cross-border strikes on alleged al-Qaida and Taliban targets along Pakistan's side of the border with Afghanistan, straining the two nations' anti-terror alliance.The U.S. says pockets of Pakistan's border region, especially in its semi-autonomous tribal areas, are bases for militants attacking American and NATO forces in Afghanistan. It has pushed nuclear-armed Pakistan to eliminate the safe havens.The frontier region is believed to be a possible hiding place for al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahri, and several Arab militants were said to be among the dead in Friday's strike in North Waziristan tribal region.Two Pakistani intelligence officials said that over the weekend two people wounded in the attack died at a hospital in Miran Shah, the main town in North Waziristan. The officials sought anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media.Based on information from informants and agents in the field, the intelligence officials said the Taliban appeared extra-perturbed over the latest strike. The anger was a signal that a senior militant may have been killed, but that has yet to be confirmed, the officials said.The insurgents were moving aggressively in the area while using harsh language against locals, including calling them saleable commodities — a reference to people serving as government spies, the officials said.Two local residents said Taliban fighters had warned people not to discuss the strike, including with the media, or to try inspecting the rubble at the site. The residents asked not to be named for fear of Taliban retaliation.The strike in Mohammadkhel appeared to be the deadliest of 11 reported cross-border operations by U.S.-led forces since Aug. 20. The area is a stronghold of Jalaluddin Haqqani, a veteran Taliban commander regarded by the U.S. as one of its most dangerous foes.

The U.S. rarely acknowledges such attacks, 1st Lt. Nathan Perry, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan, said he had no information to give about the reported attacks. He did not deny U.S. involvement.The information is nearly impossible to verify independently because of the remote, dangerous nature of the areas.Taliban spokesmen could not immediately be reached for comment Sunday. Neither could Pakistani government and military spokesmen.Earlier, however, Pakistan army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said initial reports indicated that 20 or more people were killed. He said there was speculation that many were foreign militants, but cautioned that the army was still awaiting a detailed report.Pakistan's military and civilian leaders have complained that the attacks violate the country's sovereignty, kill civilians and anger the local population, making it harder to crack down on the militants.Extremists based in the border region are blamed for rising attacks in Pakistan, including the Sept. 20 truck bombing of the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad that killed more than 50 people.The prime minister's office announced Saturday that a special joint session of parliament would be held Wednesday so intelligence agencies could privately brief lawmakers about the militant threat facing the country.Ahsan Iqbal, a top member of the lead opposition party, welcomed the joint session saying it could help clarify U.S. motives in launching operations in Pakistan. Before this, America did a very big war operation in Iraq, he told GEO television. That time, too, America said that there was an intrusion in Iraq from Syria and Iran but we saw nowhere that America could have violated the borders of Syria or Iran.The Pakistani military has been carrying out its own operations against insurgents in the northwest, most notably in Bajur, a tribal region Abbas called a mega-sanctuary for militants. The U.S. has praised the military offensive in Bajur, but it has also led to a major humanitarian crisis. Hundreds of thousands of civilians have been displaced by the fighting. Many are in refugee camps in Pakistan, but some 20,000 Pakistanis have sought crossed the border into eastern Afghanistan, according to the United Nations. Meanwhile, a three-day ultimatum from the government for Afghans living illegally in Bajur to leave was due to expire later Sunday. But of an estimated 80,000 Afghans, only about 15,000 had left, said Abdul Haseeb, a local government official. He said the exodus appeared to be continuing, and that the administration may be lenient and give them another couple of days.They are leaving with all their belongings and cattles and hopefully most of them will leave in another two days, but if they don't there would be a massive crackdown, Haseeb said. It was unclear, however, whether the Afghans were all heading back across the porous, disputed border to Afghanistan or simply going to other parts of Pakistan.

Ghulam Jan, an Afghan who said he came to Pakistan years before as a child with his parents, was preparing to head across the border to Afghanistan's Kunar province with 13 members of his family, a cow and two calves. My parents are buried here. I consider this my homeland, but suddenly we are being uprooted to build our home anew in a hostile situation, he said. Associated Press writers Habib Khan in Khar and Asif Shahzad in Islamabad contributed to this report.
