Hundreds of homes destroyed in California firestorm NOV 15,08

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - More than 500 mobile homes were destroyed and 10,000 people fled as a wildfire described as the most devastating to hit Los Angeles in nearly half a century ripped through a city suburb on Saturday, officials said.One day after an inferno laid waste to over 100 mansions in the celebrity enclave of Montecito, 100 miles (160 kilometers) up the coast, California's fire scourge struck in the densely populated district of Sylmar on the northern fringe of Los Angeles.The wildfire -- fueled by seasonal winds of up to 80 miles per hour -- erupted late Friday and swept through some 6,500 acres (2,630 hectares) turning everything in its path to charred ruins, authorities said.Ground zero of the blaze was a mobile home park near Sylmar where more than 500 residences were reduced to a smoldering wasteland by early Saturday.Los Angeles officials described the blaze as one of the worst in the city's history in terms of its speed and sheer destruction.Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, blaming the spread of the fire on absolutely atrocious winds, said the blaze was the worst of recent memory.We have never lost in recent times anything close to this number, Villaraigosa told reporters.Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yarovslavsky, said the fire, which was 10 percent contained by 1:00 pm local time (2100 GMT), was the worst since a 1961 blaze in wealthy Bel Air that destroyed more than 480 homes.

This is as bad a fire as I can remember since the 1961 fire, Yaroslavsky said. The explosiveness of it, and the human devastation that is involved ...Five hundred families lost their home last night and this morning. And our hearts go out to them. We just can't weigh their loss heavily enough.Around 1,100 firefighters using helicopters, bulldozers and engines were battling the fire, attempting to halt its advance as a state of emergency was declared across Los Angeles County.Remarkably, only four people, including three firefighters, were confirmed injured but Villaraigosa warned the casualty toll increase.Los Angeles fire captain Steve Ruda said temperatures at the mobile home park had been so fierce that fire hoses had melted into the cement.Meanwhile reports staff at the Olive View Medical Center had to tend to patients on respirators using hand-operated pumps because of power outages after the fire erupted late Friday.The fire forced the closure of several major freeways and led to rolling blackouts across Los Angeles before power was eventually restored.The Sylmar fire was one of several burning across Southern California on Saturday, and authorities were anxiously tracking a large fire that had erupted near Yorba Linda, 40 miles southeast of Los Angeles, and neighboring Corona.Vast plumes of smoke from the Yorba Linda blaze could be seen across the Los Angeles skyline and at least a dozen homes had been damaged or destroyed.Meanwhile, hundreds of firefighters were making progress against the fire which tore through the millionaire's playground Montecito after erupting on Thursday. Some 111 homes had been gutted by the fire, which has burned around 1,800 acres and was 40-percent contained.Montecito is popular with the super-rich, and celebrities such as talk-show queen Oprah Winfrey and Hollywood actors Michael Douglas, Jeff Bridges and Rob Lowe all own property in the area.There have been no reported fatalities but 13 injuries, including three suffering from burns and 10 suffering from smoke inhalation, according to figures from Santa Barbara County.California is frequently hit by scorching wildfires due to its dry climate, Santa Ana winds and recent housing booms which have seen housing spread rapidly into rural and densely forested areas.The latest fires come just over a year after devastating wildfires that were among the worst in California history, that left eight people dead, gutted 2,000 homes, displaced 640,000 people and caused one billion dollars in damage.In June and July this year, a series of about 2,000 fires raged across the state, scorching some 900,000 acres of land.

Southern California battles devastating wildfire By SHAYA TAYEFE MOHAJER, Associated Press Writer NOV 15,08

LOS ANGELES – Southern Californians weathered a second straight day of devastation Saturday as wind-blasted wildfires destroyed hundreds of homes, shut down major freeways and forced thousands of residents in the path of flames to flee to safety.

A fire that ravaged the Sylmar community in the hillsides above Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley grew to 6,500 acres — more than 10 square miles — and was only 10 percent contained. It sent residents fleeing in the dark Saturday morning as notorious Santa Ana winds topping 75 mph torched cars, mobile homes and bone-dry brush.We have almost total devastation here in the mobile park, Los Angeles Fire Capt. Steve Ruda said. I can't even read the street names because the street signs are melting.Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in Los Angeles, a day after he did so to the northwest in Santa Barbara County, where 111 homes burned to the ground Thursday night in the wealthy, star-studded community of Montecito.And as many as 30 homes, some of them apparently mansions, burned in a fire in Orange and Riverside counties, officials said.The Los Angeles blaze, whose cause was under investigation, threatened at least 1,000 structures, city Fire Department spokeswoman Melissa Kelley said. A burned resident was in serious condition, and four firefighters were treated for minor injuries.Fire officials estimated 10,000 people were under orders to evacuate. Among them were residents of the Oakridge Mobile Home Park, where about 500 trailers were lost to the flames. Many had housed senior citizens.At an evacuation center, Lucretia Romero, 65, wore a string of pearls and clutched the purse and jacket she snatched as firefighters shouted at them to flee hours earlier.Her daughter, Alisa, 42, wore a bloodstained shirt and pants. A helicopter dropping water on their home caused the entryway ceiling to collapse. Debris scratched her forehead and gave her a black eye.They were optimistic that their home of 30 years survived because firefighters were there when they left. But the family cat, Doris, was missing.

Lucretia Romero said she saw smoke above the hills beyond the front door and then, within an hour, saw that a canyon across from her home was red with flame.They would drop water, the water would squash the flames and then two minutes later the flames would come back, she said. Firefighters soon banged on the door and gave them 10 minutes to evacuate.Flames swept across the park and scorched cypress trees, Ruda said. Firefighters had to flee, grabbing some residents and leaving hoses melted into the concrete.Ruda produced a burned U.S. flag on a broken stick as a sign of hope and bravery for firefighters. The home that this flag was flying from is gone, he said.The Santa Anas — dry winds that typically blow through Southern California between October and February — tossed embers ahead of flames, jumping two interstate highways and sparking new flare-ups. Walls of flame raced up ridge lines covered in sun-baked brush and surrounded high-power transmission line towers.Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said power lines were down in places, and he asked residents to conserve power to help avoid possible blackouts.Shortly after midnight, fire burned to the edge of the Olive View-UCLA Medical Center campus, knocking out power and forcing officials to evacuate two dozen critical patients.For residents of Sylmar, at the edge of the Angeles National Forest beneath the San Gabriel Mountains, the fire underscored the hazards that come with living close to nature when the dangerous winds fan catastrophic blazes. Residents of a nearby trailer park lost their homes in a fire a month ago. Near-hurricane winds made it very difficult for firefighters, Los Angeles Deputy Fire Chief Mario Rueda said. When they arrived (at the scene), it was very well developed into the forest.The shifting winds caused the fire to move uphill toward the San Gabriel Mountains, downhill toward homes and sometimes skip across canyons. It also jumped across Interstate 5 and 210, forcing the California Highway Patrol to shut down portions of both freeways and some connecting roads. Flying embers ignited spot fires, and firefighters patrolled the evacuated neighborhoods making sure these small fires don't turn into big fires, Rueda said. It has burned a portion of forest land, including habitat for the endangered California condor and several hiking trails, U.S. Forest Service spokesman Stanton Florea said.

A separate blaze chewed through expensive Orange and Riverside communities, burning as many as 30 homes as flying embers took a crazy-quilt path of destruction. The flames erupted near a highway and quickly grew to at least 800 acres. Fierce, erratic winds pushed it into an adjoining subdivision where 5,000-square-foot homes are the norm. A dozen buildings burned in the Riverside County town of Corona. Two city firefighters were slightly injured when the fast-moving flames swept over their fire engine, said Christy Romero, a spokeswoman for the Orange County Fire Authority. Northwest of Los Angeles, an 1,800-acre blaze that began Thursday night in the Santa Barbara community of Montecito forced the evacuation of more than 5,400 homes. About 800 firefighters battled the blaze in the wealthy, celebrity-studded enclave, and they were expected to make significant progress through Saturday, said Santa Barbara city fire spokesman John Ahlman. He said homes would not be in serious danger if the winds remained calm. Several multimillion-dollar homes and a small Christian college were damaged in Montecito, a town of 14,000 that has attracted celebrities such as Rob Lowe, Jeff Bridges, Michael Douglas and Oprah Winfrey. The cause of the fire is under investigation. At least 13 people were injured. A 98-year-old man with medical problems died after being evacuated to a hotel, but it was unclear if his death was directly related to the blaze.

Gay rights rallies nationwide over Calif. ban By JAY LINDSAY, Associated Press Writer NOV 15,08

BOSTON – Gay rights supporters waving rainbow colors marched, chanted and danced in cities coast to coast Saturday to protest the California vote that banned gay marriage there and urge supporters not to quit the fight for the right to wed.Many cast it as a civil rights issue.Crowds gathered near public buildings in small communities and major cities including New York, San Francisco and Chicago to vent their frustrations, celebrate gay relationships and renew calls for change.Civil marriages are a civil right, and we're going to keep fighting until we get the rights we deserve as American citizens, Karen Amico said in Philadelphia, holding up a sign reading Don't Spread H8.We are the American family, we live next door to you, we teach your children, we take care of your elderly, said Heather Baker a special education teacher from Boston who addressed the crowd at Boston's City Hall Plaza. We need equal rights across the country.Massachusetts and Connecticut, which began same sex weddings this past week, are the only two states that allow gay marriage. All 30 states that have voted on gay marriage have enacted bans.Protests following the vote on Proposition 8 in California, which defined marriage as between a man and a woman, have sometimes been angry and even violent, and demonstrators have targeted faiths that supported the ban, including the Mormon church.

However, representatives of Join the Impact, which organized Saturday's demonstrations, asked supporters to be respectful and refrain from attacking other groups during the rallies.Seattle blogger Amy Balliett, who started the planning for the protests when she set up a Web page three days after the California vote, said persuasion is impossible without civility.If we can move anybody past anger and have a respectful conversation, then you can plant the seed of change, she said.Balliett said supporters in 300 cities in the U.S. and other countries were holding marches, and she estimated 1 million people would participate, based on responses at the Web sites her group set up.We need to show the world when one thing happens to one of us, it happens to all of us, she said.The protests were widely reported to be peaceful and the mood in Boston was generally upbeat, with attendees dancing to the song Respect. Signs cast the fight for gay marriage as the new civil rights movement, including one that read Gay is the new black.But anger over the ban and its backers was evident at the protests.One sign in Chicago read: Catholic Fascists Stay Out of Politics.I just found out that my state doesn't really think I'm a person, said Rose Aplustill, 21, a Boston University student from Los Osos, Calif., who was one of thousands at the Boston rally.In San Francisco demonstrators took shots at some religious groups that supported the ban, including a sign aimed at the Mormon church and its abandoned practice of polygamy that read: You have three wives; I want one husband.Chris Norberg, who married his partner in June, also referred to the racial divisions that arose after exit polls found that majorities of blacks and Hispanics supported the constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

They voted against us, Norberg said. Demonstrators in Washington marched from the U.S. Capitol through the city carrying signs and chanting One, two, three, four, love is what we're fighting for! A public plaza at the foot of New York's Brooklyn Bridge was packed by a cheering crowd, including people who waved rainbow flags and wore pink buttons that said I do.Protests were low-key in North Dakota, where people lined a bridge in Fargo carrying signs and flags. Mike Bernard, who was in the crowd at City Hall in Baltimore, said Proposition 8 could end up being a good thing for gay rights advocates. It was a swift kick in the rear end, he said. In Chicago, Keith Smith, 42, a postal worker, and his partner, Terry Romo, 34, a Wal-Mart store manager, had photos of their wedding ceremony which they held even though gay marriage is not legal in Illinois. We're not going to wait for no law, Smith said. But time's going to be on our side and it's going to change.Associated Press writers Rupa Shenoy in Chicago, Adam Goldman in New York, JoAnn Loviglio in Philadelphia, Sarah Brumfield in Baltimore, Blake Nicholson in Bismarck, N.D., and Kamala Lane in Washington contributed to this report.

The following is excerpted from the book:Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution,by Steve McIntosh.2007 Published by Paragon House For further excerpts, interviews and more, go to:www.stevemcintosh.com

From Chapter 5, Integral Politics:

The type of global governance envisioned by the integral worldview would consist of a federation of nations united under a constitution of laws guided by the insights and principles of integral philosophy. An integral world federation would be instituted to provide democratic oversight of the global economy, protect the world's environment, establish a universal bill of human rights, preserve cultural diversity, and bring an eventual end to war, disease, and poverty. And even with limited jurisdiction (leaving national legal systems mostly in place), an integral world federation would provide for a system of global justice which would reduce the incentives for terrorism. Such a federation would not need to encompass the globe in one step. It would have to begin with a union of the E.U. and U.S., with other developed nations such as Australia and Japan joining at the beginning. Gradually, other countries could join the federation, but no country would be forced to join, with membership in the federation requiring a supermajority vote of a country’s population. An integral global authority would gradually encompass the world through evolutionary methods. National boundaries and local economies would be protected, and full membership in the federation would be granted only to countries that have achieved requisite degrees of freedom and democracy. Just as the E.U. has been gradually expanding, encouraging the political, economic and cultural evolution of those nations that aspire to join, so too could a world federation be gradually enlarged.

The benefits of effective global governance would be abundant. Democratic control of the global economy would produce greater fairness for individuals and fragile local cultures while at the same time producing greater overall prosperity. An integral world federation would have the authority to protect human rights and the world’s environment, inaugurating the kinds of safeguards that are currently impossible in a world of competing nation-states. It will almost always be morally illegitimate for one sovereign country to attack or dominate another sovereign country, regardless of the context. But a democratically controlled global federation will have the moral and political authority to be legitimately coercive over individual offenders (rather than entire countries) when it comes to preventing the destruction of people’s lives or the environment.

In appendix A, entitled: A Proposal for Integral Global Governance, we’ll explore an example of a potential structure that could be used to enact an integrally informed federal system of global governance. However, at this point, rather than going on about the advantages and solutions that could be provided by a world federation, I now need to address the reasonable objection that, even if it were a good idea, at this point global governance is nothing but a left-wing peacenik fantasy only dreamed about by wooly-minded one-worlders.

EU, French top officials applaud G20 financial summit results

Special Report: Global Financial Crisis　

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- EU and French top officials applauded the G20 financial summit concluded on Saturday for four principles that were reached at the meeting. I was very happy with the results of summit, said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso at a post-summit joint press conference with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. It has laid the foundation for the future. He noted that the best summary on results of the two-day Summit on Financial Market and World Economy was the four principles, including a coordinated and concerted stimulus through the use of budgetary measures to support demand and the increase of financial assistance to emerging and developing countries and a new regulation for financial markets to prevent a similar crisis from happening again. The other two principles he mentioned are a global economic governance more open to emerging and developing countries for more justice and efficiency and a rejection of protectionism and more openness towards exchanges. Barroso acknowledged that there is no miracle solution to the ongoing global financial crisis, but with these principles, countries can wish for avoiding deeper crisis. He also called for real commitment to the action plan yielded from the summit with a hope to bring concrete results to the world economy. EU, as the only inter-governmental organization of G20 members, has been blaming the current financial crisis for the lax financial regulation, the weak international crisis management capacities and the global current account imbalances.

It has been urging for real change in the global financial system at the G20 summit as a global response to the current financial crisis. In preparation for the summit, EU leaders agreed last Friday on a set of common lines to take to Washington, including a commitment to new, common standards of oversight, transparency and risk assessment and proposals to strengthen international crisis management. Moreover, they also proposed a period of 100 days following the summit to draw up and begin implementing new measures. During his briefing to reporters at the press conference, Sarkozy, whose country currently has the rotating chairmanship in EU, gave credit to the fairly historical summit since it was the first time for diverse countries to get together in Washington D.C. and agree on principles and action plans on how to solve the world economic crisis. He said that the summit agreed on the need for stimulus, and called for coordination in fiscal policies and monitoring method for economic stimulus, to make sure the crisis is never going to happen again.He also urged for a more fair and new economic governance, strengthened financial regulation, and more open commercial and trade relations. Hours after the end of the first G20 summit, the French president outlined a blueprint for the next gathering of its kind, by proposing that the next summit should be held in London, Britain, which will chair the G20 in 2009. On the relation with the outgoing U.S. President George W. Bush, Sarkozy said his American counterpart has been a loyal partner, not always easy, but loyal. The two EU officials appeared before media reporters after the formal talks in the summit concluded on Saturday, followed by a series of bilateral talks. The G20, founded on Sept. 25, 1999 in Washington, serves as an international forum of finance ministers and central bank governors from 19 countries -- Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey and the United States -- the European Union and the Bretton Woods Institutions, namely the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. It is the first time for the body, which usually brought together finance ministers and central bank chiefs at annual meetings, to hold a head-of-state meeting in view of the worst economic crisis since 1930s. The United States has indicated that it expects the meeting as the first step in a process that can lay the ground for future actions, while the European countries, led by France, deem the summit should take quick and necessary actions to produce real results.

World leaders move toward tougher financial rules By JENNIFER LOVEN, AP White House Correspondent NOV 14,08

WASHINGTON – World leaders moved toward agreement Friday on an early warning system for financial calamities, a commitment to tougher accounting rules and other modest steps to begin restoring stability in a crisis threatening the livelihoods of billions of people around the globe.Nearly two dozen leaders met in Washington on Friday in the largest gathering of its kind here in nearly a decade. They dined in extravagance at the White House in a prelude to a day of negotiations Saturday over how best to wrestle both large and developing economies back from the brink of chaos.

The leaders were on track to approve measures to make the world financial system more accountable to investors and more transparent to regulators, diplomatic sources said.Those sources, speaking on condition of anonymity because leaders had yet to agree on their final communique, said the emerging agreement calls for an action plan to improve international monitoring of markets. The leaders also were expected to endorse more effective rules governing how companies value their assets, a weakness seen as partly responsible for the current financial crisis.A second summit is envisioned in early spring, after Barack Obama becomes president. The first meeting, called by President George W. Bush, falls in a period of transition that inevitably leaves unclear what actions the U.S. is ready to take in the months ahead.

Billions of hardworking people are counting on us, Bush said on a night when urgent motorcades swept presidents and prime ministers through a dark Washington mist to the White House.Altogether, the U.S. approach of boosting oversight of shaky financial markets seemed to be holding sway over Europe's desire for tougher internationally enforced regulation.Mexican President Felipe Calderon met former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former Rep. Jim Leach, and stressed that a return to protectionism would only complicate economic recovery efforts, according to the Mexican leader's office. Albright and Leach are representing Obama at the summit.The president-elect stayed away from the meeting so as not to complicate matters for Bush.Leaders from Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and India were among those in Washington.A new college of supervisors, made up of financial regulators from many nations, and an early warning system to detect weaknesses in the financial system — both aimed at raising the oversight and openness of international markets — were among the ideas likely to be included in a joint communique.Bush has supported those types of ideas in the past, said White House press secretary Dana Perino, hinting that the leaders, whose delegates have been negotiating for weeks, were poised to agree.The summit, meant to be the first in a series, has a two-pronged agenda: Discuss what might still need to be done to turn the world's economies back from the edge of disaster and explore ways to revamp the global financial system's architecture to prevent similar meltdowns in the future.

Fearing a Wall Street plunge if the summit produces little, the White House has been lowering expectations as fast as other nations have been raising them.This problem did not develop overnight and it will not be solved overnight, Bush said in a dinner toast to his fellow leaders and their discussions. But with continued cooperation and determination, it will be solved.Separately, the government reported that sales by U.S. retailers fell by a record amount last month, and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke hinted at another interest rate cut to encourage consumers. The Dow Jones industrials dropped 338 points.As leaders poured into the U.S. capital, Bush warned for the second day in a row of the dangers — in his view — of overeager government intervention. He said reforms in the financial sector are essential but strict new regulation of financial firms or products, such as some European leaders have advocated, would crush the global economy instead of protect it.The stakes are indeed high, he said. Billions of hardworking people are counting on us to strengthen the financial system for the long term.He got a boost from British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who used rhetoric similar to Bush's in talking about a need to keep trade flowing and markets free. Protectionism is the road to ruin, Brown told the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. Brown has been among the leaders pushing for nations at the summit to pledge coordinated stimulus spending worldwide to combat the downturn that is squeezing millions of families and businesses. Bush, however, cautioned that the billions of dollars being spent already by the U.S. and other countries should be given a chance to work. Our actions are having an impact, Bush said in his Saturday radio address, taped Friday and released early by the White House. The United States and our partners are taking the right steps to get through the crisis.Deeply skeptical, protesters staged demonstrations and their chants could be faintly heard as leaders arrived in a misty rain at the White House for the working dinner. At the meetings, leaders were expected to set up working groups to devise the details of their proposals. Europeans want to close loopholes that allow some financial institutions to evade regulation. They also want to ensure supervision for all major financial players, including credit ratings agencies or funds carrying high amounts of debt. They want a pledge for concrete changes in just 100 days. But Bush is hoping that including developing nations such as China, India and Brazil in the talks will act as a brake on any push for intrusive regulation. Red-hot emerging economies bristle at being restricted just as they are trying to catch up to the developed world. Bush's argument against government overreach rings hollow to many around the world who see the crisis as a problem made of a freewheeling U.S. system where easy credit, risky investing and lax oversight have become the norm. He also is seen by some as lacking credibility on the issue because he has overseen an unprecedented intervention by Washington in the private sector over the past few weeks in an effort to unclog credit markets.

An early warning system appears one area of compromise.

Advocated by the Europeans, it would watch for signs of problems like the bubble in the U.S. housing market that eventually burst, souring mortgage-related investments, leading to huge losses at financial companies and locking lending in a freeze that spread around the globe. The heads of the International Monetary Fund, the world's financial firefighter, and the Financial Stability Forum, a group that includes central banks and major financial regulators, said Friday they would cooperate on detecting vulnerabilities. In addition, the college of supervisors would be a new body in which global regulators tasked with scrutinizing the world's largest financial institutions would compare notes, in hopes of spotting excessive risk-taking. In a sign of the complicated arrangements necessary to house and host the largest gathering of government heads in Washington since NATO's 50th anniversary in 1999, Perino noted it would take 300 or 400 cars to accomplish the highly choreographed feat of bringing the leaders to dinner. Bush, alone without his wife, greeted each of his guests individually as they pulled to the North Portico, with smiles and back pats for most, a protocol-laden process that took over 75 minutes. The leaders then ate with him in the State Dining Room, working for about two hours over a gourmet meal of quail, lamb and fondue accompanied by fancy wines.

G20 leaders agree reform action plan, pledge to boost growth NOV 15,08

WASHINGTON (AFP) - World leaders agreed at an economic crisis summit Saturday to an action plan for reforming the financial system and promised to work together to restore global growth, according to a final communique.We are determined to enhance our cooperation and work together to restore global growth and achieve needed reforms in the world's financial systems, the final statement from the G20 group of countries said.The statement committed the leaders, whose countries account for 85 percent of the world economy, to fiscal measures to boost national economies and laid out a series of areas for review before a deadline of March 31.Six areas will be targeted: regulating those areas of the financial markets which have exacerbated the crisis, boosting transparency in the often murky derivatives markets and reforming compensation practices.The ministers must also evaluate global accounting norms and the financing needs of international financial institutions.Finally, they must draw up a list of financial institutions whose collapse would imperil the global financial system .In view of the role of the G20 in financial systems reform, we will meet again by April 30, 2009, to review the implementation of the principles and decisions agreed today, the communique said.It also stressed that the countries rejected protectionism and were committed to free-market principles -- something President George W. Bush was keen to include.We recognize that these reforms will only be successful if grounded in a commitment to free market principles, including the rule of law, respect for private property, open trade and investment, competitive markets, and efficient, effectively regulated financial systems, the statement said.The statement also said that regulation was a national issue. Some countries had wanted a stronger role for the International Monetary Fund or another international regulator.Regulation is first and foremost the responsibility of national regulators who constitute the first line of defense against market instability, said the statement.However, our financial markets are global in scope, therefore, intensified international cooperation among regulators and strengthening of international standards, where necessary, and their consistent implementation is necessary to protect against adverse cross-border, regional and global developments affecting international financial stability.The G20, which includes the major industrialized nations as well as emerging giants Brazil, China, India and Russia, has been locked in debate about what caused the crisis.The International Monetary Fund and the Financial Stability Forum said Friday they would cooperate to provide an early-warning system in an effort to prevent any new financial meltdowns.

World Leaders Pledge to Revive Sagging Economies at Summit
Saturday, November 15, 2008

WASHINGTON — World leaders emerging from a financial summit in Washington pledged to continue taking urgent and exceptional action to revive the global economy Saturday, calling for increased cooperation and regulation to prevent the crippling crisis from repeating itself.President Bush, speaking after the meeting, stressed that the emergency summit was only a first step, and that others would be scheduled —but praised the measures given the go-ahead so far.He said the United States could have gone into a depression worse than the Great Depression without the steps already taken.Nearly two dozen foreign leaders convened Saturday in an attempt to steer their countries away from recession and at the same time draft plans to prevent future financial meltdowns.Bush said the participants agreed to modernize their regulations by making financial markets more transparent and accountable.He urged other nations to resist erecting trade barriers, and pledged that the United States would also make good on its aid commitments to developing countries despite the financial stresses.I thought this was a very successful summit, Bush said.

World Leaders Meet at Economic Summit In a joint statement from the group of 20 nations released Saturday afternoon, those countries' leaders said: We must lay the foundation for reform to help to ensure that a global crisis, such as this one, does not happen again.The countries are determined to enhance our cooperation and restore global growth, they said.The lengthy statement spelled out six immediate steps that would be taken.The nations pledged to continue vigorous efforts to stabilize the financial system; recognize the importance of monetary policy support; use fiscal measures to stimulate domestic demands; help developing nations gain access to financing especially through the International Monetary Fund; encourage the World Bank and other banks to fully support developing nations; and ensure that organizations like the IMF and World Bank have sufficient resources to help countries overcome the crisis.Bush said the world's top economies will also take a fresh look at rules that govern market manipulation and fraud.In a global climate marked by increased government intervention and rescue packages, Bush said at the start of the meeting that he was glad the partner nations were reaffirming the principles of open markets and free trade.According to one diplomatic source, the summit participants were also discussing ways to boost international coordination of stimulus packages.A thorny issue, however, is whether all nations should pledge to enact government spending plans to stimulate their economies. The leaders supported the benefits of that approach, but stopped short of a commitment for all to act at the same time, as some Europeans had favored.

The plan endorses an early warning system for problems such as the speculation frenzy that fed the U.S. housing bubble. It calls for the creation of supervisory colleges of financial regulators from many nations to better detect risky investing and other potential problems.It will be up to finance ministers to flesh out the details to put such changes in place by the end of March, in advance of the next summit on April 30, when Barack Obama is president.Our nations agree that we must make the financial markets more transparent and accountable, Bush said.Leaders backed efforts to improve international monitoring of markets and bolstering rules about how companies value their assets, a weakness seen as partly responsible for the crisis at hand.The leaders pledged to use fiscal measures to energize individual countries' economies as appropriate. They recognized the importance of the Federal Reserve and other central banks to order interest rate reductions to help cushion the economic fallout.We have reached important conclusions today about trade, about financial stability and about the expansion of our economies, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said.Under the glare of an intense political and public spotlight, presidents and prime ministers needed to be careful not to let the talks become a blame game, which could further roil the fragile markets.French President Nicolas Sarkozy was heartened that leaders could come together on a plan for action despite diverse interests from individual nations.While the plan would boost oversight of fragile financial markets, it fell short of the sweeping tough new set of regulations or ambitious regulatory overhauls that some Europeans initially wanted.

These are difficult talks, acknowledged Brown, who had taken a lead in pushing for a global coordination of country-by-country economic aid plans.In his weekly radio address, Bush said he's confident that the developed and developing countries involved in the talks can return their economies to the path of growth and vitality.

Nations around the world have responded to this situation with bold measures, and our actions are having an impact, Bush said. It will require more time for these improvements to fully take hold and there will be more difficult days ahead, but the United States and our partners are taking the right steps to get through the crisis.

The Bush administration, however, has reacted coolly to a second U.S. stimulus plan and opposes a bailout of the teetering U.S. auto industry. Democrats are pushing for aid to Detroit automakers amid reports that the biggest one, General Motors Corp., could be forced into bankruptcy by the end of next month.Not far from the summit at the stately National Building Museum, a handful of protesters carried neon yellow signs that read: Money for people's needs, not bankers' greed and Money for jobs, not for war and occupation.The World Bank president, Robert Zoellick, is among the international finance leaders who welcomed the more inclusive mix of countries — beyond the wealthiest nations — at the summit. Brazil's president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, said, Emerging economies have to be taken into consideration in today's globalized world.Japan's prime minister, Taro Aso, urged China and others to help increase the International Monetary Fund's $250 billion bailout pool for struggling nations hit by the crisis. Japan on Friday said it was ready to put in as much as $100 billion.The crisis broke out in the United States around August of last year.

Mortgage investments soured with the housing market's collapse and the fallout quickly spread to other countries. Banks and other financial companies suffered huge losses and foreclosures skyrocketed. The troubles crimped auto and student loans and locked up lending for many consumers and businesses worldwide.Although Obama stayed away from the summit, he designated two representatives — former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former Republican Rep. Jim Leach of Iowa — to meet with leaders on the sidelines.Besides the United States, the participants are: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain and Turkey.

Other than Spain, those countries — plus the European Union — make up the Group of 20industrialized and developing economies, or G-20. The group accounts for roughly 90 percent of the global gross domestic product, which measures the value of goods and services produced worldwide.FOX News' Bret Baier, Peter Barnes and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Econ summit vows action — takes few concrete steps By JENNIFER LOVEN, AP White House Correspondent Jennifer NOV 15,08

WASHINGTON – World leaders battling a dire and deepening economic crisis vowed Saturday to cooperate more closely, keep a sharper eye out for red-flag problems and give bigger roles to fast-rising nations — but kicked many hard details down the road for their next summit after President-elect Barack Obama takes office.Perhaps as important as the modest concrete steps they took, the leaders of the planet's richest nations — and some of the fastest-developing — made clear their recognition of the world's increasingly interconnected financial architecture and the responsibilities that go along with it.There shall be no blind spots, German Chancellor Angela Merkel declared. There is here a great common will to ensure that such a crisis is not repeated.Underscoring how bad things have gotten this time, President George W. Bush, the summit host, said he had agreed to the recent $700 billion rescue plan for U.S. financial institutions only after being told the nation was at risk of falling into a depression greater than the Great Depression.Also significant at the summit: the inclusion of a far broader range of countries than the elite, old-guard group that usually holds such summit meetings.Emerging market countries were not the cause of this crisis, but they are amongst its worst affected victims, declared Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.Leaders from 21 nations and four international organizations attended the emergency summit that was held as Washington was blanketed in a gray mist and which took on a workaday feel appropriate to the grim crisis that drew them together. At the conclusion of talks that took place over two days, they released a joint communique that was modest in scope but high in hopes.Covering eight pages and 47 action items, the document's overarching focus is to establish a series of new safeguards for the fragile and opaque global financial system. Nearly all the efforts are aimed in some way at better flagging risky investment patterns and regulatory weak spots before they bring down companies and then ripple dangerously through entire economies, as has happened in recent months.

To that end, the leaders called for such mundane things as supervisory colleges where financial regulators can compare market notes across countries, better cooperation between nations on regulations, the eventual standardization of accounting rules governing how companies can value potentially tricky assets, and new attention to credit-rating agencies.The leaders also supported expanding the membership of the Financial Stability Forum, a group that has been examining the causes of the financial crisis and crafting ways to prevent future problems. And the group called for broadening the financial police work of the 63-year-old International Monetary Fund as well as modernizing the institution to better keep pace with the changing economic environment.None of the items was splashy, and most would be understandable to few outside of financial experts, but officials argued they have far-reaching potential.It's not glamour, said French President Nicolas Sarkozy.More than two dozen items were slated for some level of action by the end of March, around the time the leaders expect to gather again, with the rest left for later. Concrete proposals were few, however, with most details slated to be worked out by finance ministers in the coming months and beyond.The leaders also discussed the shorter-term problem of how to bring their nations' economies back from the brink. Some had pushed ahead of time for a pledge of coordinated new government stimulus spending by each nation.But with Bush cool to such action in the U.S., the communique only endorsed taking such action as appropriate.A handful of the hundreds of protesters that flocked to the U.S. capital city succinctly summed up skepticism about their benefit to the families around the world who are increasingly worried about mortgages, retirement savings and jobs. Money for people's needs, not bankers' greed, said their bright yellow signs.

The talks were undoubtedly remarkable, however, for drawing together such a vast number and array of nations and bringing them to agreement on a set of actions, however limited, in less than a month's time. Leaders from major powers including Britain, Germany, France and Japan were there, alongside rulers from developing countries such as China, India, Brazil and South Korea as well as from the oil-rich Gulf state of Saudi Arabia. The summit was just announced on Oct. 22, and the urgency of the downward-spiraling global economic situation led to much faster action than is typical in the usually glacial diplomatic arena.With fears high that signs of discord among the world's most powerful politicians could send markets plunging again come Monday, the presidents and prime ministers appeared uncharacteristically determined to hold their tongues about any disagreement over either the cause of the current crisis or their compromise agreement. This despite the fact that the action plan seemed to leaning in most areas far more toward the U.S. preference for boosting oversight and free-market incentives than the European desire for increased regulation and requirements. Sarkozy, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso emerged with praise for the meeting as a sign of historic cooperation. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said after the summit that despite the great diversity of countries in the room for those two days of the summit, there was a practically unanimous agreement on all major topics.Bush, though, is on his way out of office and the leaders were clearly looking beyond him to his successor. Many met on the sidelines of the summit with Obama's surrogates, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former Republican Rep. Jim Leach of Iowa, while speculating about whether the Democratic president-elect might veer from Bush's approach by the time of the next summit. Still, Bush made sure he kept an iron grip on the proceedings. His was the only voice heard in any official setting — during the toast at Friday's dinner and before and after the closed summit meetings. All the other leaders had to scramble to set up briefings or news conferences at alternative sites in order to express their thoughts. The inclusion of the developing nations was demanded by Bush, in part in hopes they would act as a brake on European desires for tough new regulations of financial firms or products. But the decision also was hailed as necessary to the effectiveness of such a meeting, because the financial crisis that began in the U.S. had spread to the poorer nations. Indeed, one goal of the meeting was to boost the effort to help such struggling nations weather the financial crisis largely caused by their bigger, more developed counterparts. Japan's prime minister, Taro Aso, urged China and others to contribute to the International Monetary Fund's $250 billion bailout pool, aimed mostly at poorer countries. Japan on Friday said it was ready to put in as much as $100 billion. Talk of blame was kept to a minimum, though many still hold the belief that the primary fault for the cascade of ruinous events lies with a U.S., where it has become the norm to offer easy credit, outsize rewards for high-risk investing, and lax oversight to the whole process.

CHANGING OF THE GUARD Constitutional crisis looming over Obama's birth location Alan Keyes lawsuit warns America may see usurper in Oval Office November 14, 2008 8:40 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh 2008 WorldNetDaily

Alan Keyes
The California secretary of state should refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office, alleges a California court petition filed on behalf of former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and others.The legal action today is just the latest is a series of challenges, some of which have gone as high as the U.S. Supreme Court, over the issue of Obama's status as a natural-born citizen, a requirement set by the U.S. Constitution.WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi even traveled to Kenya and Hawaii prior to the election to investigate issues surrounding Obama's birth. But his research and discoveries only raised more questions.The biggest question is why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn't ordered it made available to settle the rumors.The governor's office in Hawaii said there is a valid certificate but rejected requests for access and left ambiguous its origin: Does the certificate on file with the Department of Health indicate a Hawaii birth or was it generated after the Obama family registered a Kenyan birth in Hawaii? Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro, has named two different Hawaii hospitals where Obama could have been born, while a video posted on YouTube features Obama's Kenyan grandmother Sarah claiming to have witnessed Obama's birth in Kenya.The California action was filed by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation on behalf of Alan Keyes, the presidential candidate of the American Independent Party, along with Wiley S. Drake and Markham Robinson, both California electors.Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America and, thereby, his election declared void, Petitioners, as well as other Americans, will suffer irreparable harm in that (a) usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal, the action challenges.

California Secretary of State Debra Bowen

The petition is a request for the Superior Court of California in Sacramento County to issue a peremptory writ barring Secretary of State Debra Bowen from both certifying to the governor the names of the California Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of Election, until such documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain.It continues with a request for a writ barring California's electors from signing the Certificate of Vote until documentary proof is produced.

An Obama spokesperson interviewed by WND described such lawsuits as garbage.The popular vote Nov. 4 favored Obama over Sen. John McCain by several percentage points. But because of the distribution of the votes, Obama is projected to take the Electoral College vote, when it is held in December, by a 2-to-1 margin.Named as defendants in the action are Bowen, Obama, vice president elect Joe Biden and the long list of California party electors.Citing the constitutional requirement that a president be a natural born citizen, the case discusses other state and federal court cases regarding aspects of lost or dual citizenship concerning Senator Obama. Those challenges, in and of themselves, demonstrate Petitioners' argument that reasonable doubt exists as to the eligibility of the Democratic Party’s nominee for President, the case said.Get Brad O'Leary's blockbuster book detailing the agenda for the upcoming Obama White House, The Audacity of Deceit.There is a reasonable and common expectation by the voters that to qualify for the ballot, the individuals running for office must meet minimum qualifications as outlined in the federal and state Constitutions and statutes, and that compliance with those minimum qualifications has been confirmed by the officials overseeing the election process, the complaint said, when in fact the only documentation currently required is a signed statement from the candidate attesting to those qualifications.Since [the Secretary of State] has, as its core, the mission of certifying and establishing the validity of the election process, this writ seeks a Court Order barring SOS from certifying the California Electors until documentary proof that Senator Obama is a natural born citizen of the United States of America is received by her, the document said.This proof could include items such as his original birth certificate, showing the name of the hospital and the name and the signature of the doctor, all of his passports with immigration stamps, and verification from the governments where the candidate has resided, verifying that he did not, and does not, hold citizenship of these countries, and any other documents that certify an individual’s citizenship and/or qualification for office.To this date, in this regard, SOS has not carried out that fundamental duty.The case said a simple attestation from the candidate or his party isn't sufficient.Historically, California Secretaries of State have exercised their due diligence by reviewing necessary background documents, verifying that the candidates that were submitted by the respective political parties as eligible for the ballot were indeed eligible. In 1968, the Peace and Freedom Party submitted the name of Eldridge Cleaver as a qualified candidate for President of the United States. The then SOS, Mr. Frank Jordan, found that, according to Mr. Cleaver's birth certificate, he was only 34 years old, one year shy of the 35 years of age needed to be on the ballot as a candidate for President. Using his administrative powers, Mr. Jordan removed Mr. Cleaver from the ballot. Mr. Cleaver unsuccessfully challenged this decision to the Supreme Court of the State of California, and, later, to the Supreme Court of the United States."

Similarly, in 1984, the Peace and Freedom Party candidate Larry Holmes was removed from the ballot.The certificate of live birth posted by the Obama campaign cannot be viewed as authoritative, the case alleges.Hawaii Revised Statute 338-178 allows registration of birth in Hawaii for a child that was born outside of Hawaii to parents who, for a year preceding the child’s birth, claimed Hawaii as their place of residence, the document said. The only way to know where Senator Obama was actually born is to view Senator Obama's original birth certificate from 1961 that shows the name of the hospital and the name and signature of the doctor that delivered him.The case also raises the circumstances of Obama's time during his youth in Indonesia, where he was listed as having Indonesian citizenship. Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship, raising the possibility of Obama's mother having given up his U.S. citizenship.Any subsequent U.S. citizenship then, the case claims, would be naturalized, not natural-born.Based on all of the above, it is the duty of the SOS to obtain proper documentation of Senator Obama's citizenship to confirm his eligibility for the office or the President of the United States, the case said.

Just this week, WND has reported on more than half a dozen other legal challenges have been filed in federal and state courts demanding Obama's decertification from ballots or seeking to halt elector meetings, claiming he has failed to prove his U.S. citizenship status.Among the states where cases are being tracked are Ohio, Connecticut, Washington, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Hawaii, and there were reports of other cases being developed in Utah, Wyoming, Florida, New York, North Carolina, Texas, California and Virginia.

Ex-Hitler youth's warning to America,Every day brings this nation closer to Nazi-style totalitarian abyss November 13, 2008 1:00 am Eastern 2008 WorldNetDaily

WASHINGTON – Because it has abandoned moral absolutes and its historic Christian faith, the U.S. is moving closer to a Nazi-style totalitarianism, warns a former German member of the Hitler Youth in a new book.Every day brings this nation closer to a Nazi-style totalitarian abyss, writes Hilmar von Campe, now a U.S. citizen, and author of Defeating the Totalitarian Lie: A Former Hitler Youth Warns America.Von Campe has founded the national Institute for Truth and Freedom to fight for a return to constitutional government in the U.S. – a key, he believes, to keeping America free.I lived the Nazi nightmare, and, as the old saying goes, A man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with an argument, writes von Campe. Everything I write is based on my personal experience in Nazi Germany. There is nothing theoretical about my description of what happens when a nation throws God out of government and society, and Christians become religious bystanders. I don't want to see a repetition. The role of God in human society is the decisive issue for this generation. My writing is part of my life of restitution for the crimes of a godless government, of the evil of which I was a part.Von Campe grew up under the Nazis, served in the Hitler Youth and fought against the Red Army in the Yugoslavian theater as a tank gunner in the German army. He was captured at the end of the war and escaped five months later from a prisoner of war camp in Communist Yugoslavia.

It took me a long time to understand and define the nature of National Socialism, says von Campe. And, unfortunately, their philosophy continues to flourish under different labels remaining a menace to America and free human society.He writes: The most painful part of defining National Socialism was to recognize my own moral responsibility for the Nazi disaster and their crimes against humanity. It boiled down to accepting the truth that as I am, so is my nation, and realizing that if every German was like me, it was no wonder that the nation became a cesspool of gangsters. This realization is as valid today for any person in any nation as it was then, and it is true for America and every American now.Von Campe's message is that political freedom and democratic rules alone are not sufficient to govern humanity justly.Democratic procedures can be subverted and dishonest politicians are like sand in the gearbox, abundant, everywhere and destructive, he writes. What I see in America today is people painting their cabins while the ship goes down. Today in America we are witnessing a repeat performance of the tragedy of 1933 when an entire nation let itself be led like a lamb to the Socialist slaughterhouse. This time, the end of freedom is inevitable unless America rises to her mission and destiny.Von Campe says he sees spiritual parallels among Americans and his childhood Germany.

The silence from our pulpits regarding the moral collapse of American society from within is not very different from the silence that echoed from the pulpits in Germany toward Nazi policies, he explains. Our family lived through the Nazi years in Germany, an experience typical of millions of Europeans regardless of what side they were on. We paid a high price for the moral perversions of a German government, which excluded God and His Commandments from their policies. America must not continue following the same path to destruction, but instead heed the lessons of history and the warning I am giving.Specifically, von Campe warns Americans their political leaders are on the wrong footing, denying our cultural and traditional roots based on our unique Constitution and Christian orientation as a nation. Christians don't understand their mission.
