MITT ROMNEY SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN

BREAKING NEWS

Mitt Romney has suspended his Campaign so this only leaves John McCain, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul in the running for President of the United states.

THINGS I LIKE ABOUT ROMNEYS LAST SPEECH

After 11 winning states and 4 million votes but very few delegates Mitt Romney has suspended his campaign knowing he can not overtake John McCain as the Republican member to be President of the U.S.A in 2009. I never did go for Romney myself, I like Huckabee but there was a few things in his last speech today that I liked what he said.

1-Consevative principles are needed now more then ever or we will become the France of the 21ST century. Still a great Nation but not the leader of the World. Well Mitt is right on there America will not be the leader of the World it will be the EU and who is in the EU but France, interesting he should mention this in his speech. Mitt goes on to say Shimon Peres was in Boston a while back and asked what he thought about the War in Iraq. First he said I have to put something in context, that America is unique in the history of the World. Whenever theres been conflict in the World, the Nation that wins takes land from the Nation that loses. One Nation in history, and this during the last century laid down hundreds of thousands of lives and took no land, no land from Germany, no land from Korea, no land from Japan. America Peres said is unique in the sacrifice it has made for liberty for itself and for freedom loving countries around the World. Now I know why Shimon Peres wants to act like the U.S.A in the peace process, hes willing to give Land to the Palestinians thinking it will bring a peaceful solution. Well all I have to say about this is if a murderous partner for so called peace wants to take my land from me so it can eliminate me from the face of the earth, I would quickly reverse my stance from Americas and destroy the enemy so called peace partner quick. By Peres' statments in Boston we now know his motives of land for peace. And while were on the subject America will be powerless and the EU as I mentioned earlier will be the leader and gradual World Government ruler by what the Bible tells me. Thats why by Peres taking after Americas lead will be his and Israels down fall and be decieved into making a Covenant with death and hell (WW3) instead of a Peace Covenant.

2-Attack on Americas culture. This is true its the immoral culture America is slipping into by taking GOD out of everything and going by Mens imaginations instead that is leading to America becoming useless to the rest of the World. Shootings, Unatural sex rampant, drugs and no Prayer or GOD in schools anymore and you have America being disintegrated from within, useless Sinful GODLESS TYRANTS.

3-Europe is facing a demographic diaster. Well Mitt is correct about this, the EU is GODLESS and thats why the future GODLESS DICTATOR comes from the EU to have World control. No freedoms if GOD is not in governments and peoples lives, like the Bible says the EU will be like.

4-Economic competion unlike we have ever seen before. Mitt goes on to say: China and Asia are emerging from centuries of poverty. Their people are plentiful, innovative and ambiscious. If we don't change course Asia or China will pass us by as the economic super power. Well the Bible says the E.U will be the economic world leader, but China, Russia and Egypt will be the four world powers in the last days. So Mitt has got it right with China and Asia being powerful.

5-Oil preducing states like Russia and Venezala, Saudi-Arabia and Iran are bilking over 400 billion dollars out of our econmy. Yes Mitt America has to be useless in these last days to fulfill the prophecies of the Bible.

6-The threat of Jihad Islamits. In Radical Islam all Governments should be destroyed by religous Califat (and come under Shiria (ISLAMIC LAW). To Islam democracy is blasphamous because it says citizens, not GOD shape the law. Islam hates everything about freedom.

These are the statements I liked about Mitt Romneys resignation speech Today Thurday February 7,2008 in light of Bible prophecy happenings.

EU envoy: Gaza Strip could turn into Somalia
By Barak Ravid FEB 5,08

Israel's policies in the Gaza Strip are likely to turn the territory into Somalia, European Union special envoy to the Middle East Marc Otte told Haaretz yesterday in an interview. Israel's tactics in the Gaza Strip did not work, Otte said. The blockade and the sanctions against the population failed, and only strengthened Hamas and weakened [Prime Minister Salam] Fayyad and [Abbas] Abu Mazen.Otte added that the implications of Israeli activity may be that Gaza becomes Somalia.This week Otte met with senior Egyptian officials in Cairo to discuss the breached border of the Gaza Strip along the Philadelphi Route. Her then came to Israel for talks with Defense and Foreign Ministry officials. Otte expressed concern that Israel is still uncertain how to deal with the new situation that has emerged along the border, and described some of the ideas the Egyptians are proposing for resolving the crisis.There has been a significant change in the Egyptian appreciation of the severity of the problem at Rafah, Otte said. Otte says that President Hosni Mubarak and Egypt's Intelligence Chief, Omar Suleiman, are interested in a package deal that will bring about a more general settlement to the border situation between Israel and Egypt, and Israel and the Gaza Strip. According to the Egyptian plan, there would be a renewed opening of the Rafah crossing along the lines of the previous agreement, intensive efforts to curb smuggling, and Israeli support for Fayyad's plan to transfer control over the Karni and Sufa crossings to the Palestinian Authority.The EU envoy says that Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip was central to the breach in the border by Hamas.

The pressure on the population did not cause them to throw Hamas to the sea, he said. The blockade and its results did not harm Hamas, only made things more complex for Israel and Egypt and created unnecessary tension between the two states.It is time for Israel to decide what it wants to do, Otte said. I believe that Israel needs to agree to the Fayyad plan, because this will put the pressure on Hamas, forcing them to decide whether to continue preventing the opening of the crossings. Israel needs to understand that it will not get anything better than Salam Fayyad. I understand that the army and the Shin Bet are worried about security in the short term, but they must look a little forward and this is the role of the leadership, Otte said.

Barack Obama for Prime Minister of Israel
By Bradley Burston FEB 5,08

I'm not 100 percent certain that Barack Obama is the best choice for the presidency of the United States. But if he were on the ballot here in Israel, he'd get my vote in a heartbeat. Look at his competition. There is Ehud Olmert, one of the few attorneys amoral enough to be able to find new ways to give lawyers a bad name. If those who serve as their own attorneys have a fool for a client, Israel has managed to engage an attorney who has only himself as a client. He has proven himself to be a poor wartime consigliere, and he has shown himself as adept at sidestepping the peace process as his two main rivals: Ehud Barak - The overweight, overage Hamlet of Israeli politics, who can neither embrace the Olmert government, nor bring himself to leave it. Once a source of hope and a lightning rod for optimism, he has become a fountainhead of disillusionment, doubletalk, and sterile machination.

Benjamin Netanyahu - The angry prophet of fiery inaction. Distrusted by the settlers as someone who sold Hebron out from under them. Distrusted by everyone else as a person who makes Hillary Clinton seem natural, inclusive, unifying, wholly sincere, profoundly trustworthy. Now consider Barack Obama. In Maria Shriver's ringing if quirky endorsement [If he were a state, he'd be California] she set out a number of the precise qualities which both typify Israel in many ways, and underscore the grave deficiencies of the mercenary, arrogant men who lead us without noticing that they have no notion of their own limitations: Diverse. Open. Smart. Independent. Bucks tradition. Innovative. Inspiring. Dreamer. Leader.Like the United States, this is a country at war, a nation which, if it is to resolve the conflict in which it is mired, will require both charismatic, galvanizing leadership and a willingness to look at overmarketed, vested interest-bound issues from an entirely fresh, bravely creative perspective. Like the United States, youth in Israel is increasingly disaffected. In a country where the concept of alienation once had no meaning, young people are well within their rights to believe that their elected officials and civil servants are stone deaf to their concerns, their hopes, their needs, their futures, and their very real and powerful potential for public service. We, the people of Israel, no less than the people of Palestine, are hostages of our history and of our present leadership. Our extremists - perhaps the only inspirational speakers we have - bludgeon us into feeling that we must resurrect a glorious past which is not only impossible to recreate, but which blocks us from moving on into a livable future.

We could use a good man like Barack Obama. We need a man who has an awareness of his own limitations, and a sense of the boundless promise of the nation and its people. We need to be uplifted. We need to heal. We need to be able to triumph over our own habits and preconceptions, our grief and our grievances, our prejudices and our blood grudges. We need someone who can see the horizon we have long ago stopped seeking. We need to resurrect the most battered of our values, the belief in the power of reconciliation and cooperation, the faith in the sheer existence of possibility. It is this message that informs the Obama campaign. It is a message that may be needed even more in this country, than it is in his.

TORNADOS KILL 52 IN U.S.A

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.

Tornadoes sweep southern US, killing FEB 6,08

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AFP) - Dozens of tornadoes sliced across southern US states ripping apart homes and shopping malls, killing at least 52 people and injuring hundreds more, officials and US media said Wednesday. Twenty-eight people were killed in Tennessee, 13 in Arkansas, and seven in Kentucky, officials in the three states said.US media reported hundreds injured, and CNN said four people were killed in Alabama. Local authorities were not immediately available to confirm the toll.I've seen tornadoes on the ground and I've seen them in the air, but this was different. This one was wide, a massive funnel, Jean Byrd of Mason, Tennessee, a town of just over 1,000 residents, told AFP.With a sigh of relief, Byrd added: It touched down just after it passed our house. We were lucky.President George W. Bush offered prayers and disaster relief. Prayers can help, and so can the government, Bush said in Washington. I do want the people in those states that the American people are standing with them.

More than 50 tornadoes touched down as a series of rare winter thunderstorms rolled through the region late Tuesday and early Wednesday.In Tennessee, twisters knocked down a police radio tower, punched holes in a shopping mall, damaged a hangar at the Memphis airport, and ravaged a university campus, emergency officials said.
Overall, 149 people were injured in the state, said Julie Oaks of the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency.That'll probably be going up through out the day. We have widespread damage across the state, she said.Students at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee, heroically rescued classmates trapped in the dead of night after two campus dormitories collapsed, university president David Dockery said.Fifty-one students were treated in hospital, including some with extensive injuries. But no one was killed, even though 1,200 students were on campus at the time.It's an amazing thing, Dockery told a press conference.The campus has already been rebuilt once after a 2002 tornado caused 2.6 million dollars in damage. Now, we are estimating that the damage is at least 15 times what that was at that time, he said.Elsewhere in Tennessee, the Red Cross moved 50 people trapped at a retirement center in Madison County to a shelter, officials said.But a huge fire that blazed overnight at a storm-damaged gas pumping station northeast of Nashville, part of a 4,200-mile (6,760-kilometer) line pumping gas through four southern states, had burned itself out.In neighboring Kentucky, three people were killed in a trailer park in Muhlenberg County, and four others died in Allen County, Buddy Rogers of the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management told AFP.In Arkansas at least 13 people were killed Tuesday by tornadoes that tore through the state, injuring dozens and destroying houses and businesses in a number of towns. Four tornadoes were confirmed by the National Weather Service, and another five were reported but unconfirmed.

Downed power lines, trees across roads and power outages hampered the night-long rescue effort as teams searched house by house for trapped people. The hardest hit appeared to be the town of Atkins in Pope County, where an 11-year-old girl and her parents were killed. In Clinton, a town in Van Buren County, two people were killed and at least 50 were injured. Arkansas and Tennessee were among states holding primaries Tuesday for November's presidential election, and several polling stations had to be closed as the storm approached. Democratic contender Hillary Clinton, who won both states, told a crowd: We want to keep the people of Arkansas and Tennessee in our prayers. They've suffered horrible tornadoes tonight.They are in our thoughts and in our prayers, said her Democratic rival Barack Obama. We hope that our federal government will respond quickly and rapidly to make sure that they get all the help that they need.Meanwhile NASA experts in Washington said the same turbulent weather front could delay the scheduled lift-off of the Atlantis space shuttle. The storm prediction center is forecasting a five percent chance of severe weather in the central Florida area tomorrow. I think we could see isolated thunderstorms in the area, said NASA shuttle launch weather officer, Kathy Winters. Lift-off is now set for Thursday after a two-month delay.

McCain's lead grows for GOP nod By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent FEB 6,08

WASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain padded his lead in the race for Republican national convention delegates Wednesday, amassing far more than his three remaining rivals combined as he prodded conservative critics to cut him some slack. The delegate count was far tighter in the Democratic race, where Hillary Rodham Clinton held a relatively narrow lead of 98 over Barack Obama in a struggle likely to reverberate through the spring.McCain was leaving the other Republican candidates in the dust and looking for criticism from his own party to ease up.I do hope that at some point we would just calm down a little bit and see if there's areas we can agree on, he said, one day in advance of an appearance before conservative activists who have shunned his candidacy.Nearly complete delegate returns from coast-to-coast races on Super Tuesday left McCain with 703 delegates, nearly 60 percent of the 1,191 needed to win the nomination at the convention in St. Paul, Minn., this summer.Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney had 260, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee 190 and Texas Rep. Ron Paul 14.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Boosted by his big night, John McCain asked his loudest conservative critics Wednesday to calm down and support his Republican presidential candidacy, as Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton girded for more rounds of their protracted struggle for the Democratic nomination. Obama dared claim a big victory because he came from so far behind, but the spoils were closely divided and the bragging rights, shared.McCain was referring primarily to radio talk show hosts and other pundits of the right when he appealed for unity now that he has a leg up in the nomination race.I think they've made their case against me pretty eloquently, he said, adding wryly, if that's the right word. He asserted that the pundits' conservative hero Ronald Reagan — and his — reached across the aisle to Democrats just like he wants to do as president.I do hope that at some point we would just calm down a little bit and see if there are areas that we can agree on for the good of the party and for the good of the country, he said. The critics argue he's too liberal for the party.Both Obama and Clinton were looking ahead to the fall, campaigning as the Democrat tough enough to withstand Republicans attacks, and the Illinois senator pointedly argued Wednesday that he's been tested by the hard-driving Clinton campaign.The Clinton research operation is about as good as anybody's out there, Obama told a news conference. I assure you that having engaged in a contest against them for the last year, that they've pulled out all the stops. ... We can take a punch. We're still standing.Obama cited his growth in opinion polls that once found him far behind Clinton nationally and in some Super Tuesday states. We won big states and small states, he said. We won red states and we won blue states and we won swing states.Clinton, too, won big, small, red, blue and bellwether: her column includes California, Oklahoma, New Jersey, Arizona and Tennessee.

Altogether, Obama won 13 Super Tuesday states; Clinton, eight plus American Samoa. Clinton scored the advantage in delegates, bringing her total to 845 to Obama's 765, by the latest accounting. The road ahead was long for the Democrats: It takes 2,025 delegates to claim their nomination.The New Mexico Democratic caucuses Tuesday remained too close to call.The question of who won Super Tuesday was more easily answered on the GOP side, where McCain piled up more delegates than his two rivals combined and pushed past the halfway mark toward what's needed to clinch the nomination. His victories stretched from New York to California, the biggest prize. Still, Mitt Romney in the West and Mike Huckabee in the South proved to be go-to candidates for conservatives, and they vowed to stay in the thick of the race. On Saturday, Louisiana and Washington state hold two-party contests while Nebraska Democrats and Kansas Republicans make their picks. Then comes a larger series of two-party primaries in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia on Tuesday. More than 168 Democratic delegates are at stake Tuesday, a sizable prize in two states and a district that are normally afterthoughts in nomination contests. Clinton, who plans to campaign in Virginia on Thursday, has been endorsed in Maryland by Gov. Martin O'Malley and Sen. Barbara Mikulski; Obama is backed by Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, and is expected to do well in largely black D.C. Republicans will award 116 delegates in the trio of races dubbed the Potomac Primary.

Romney enjoyed his first night at home in a month and then drove himself, his wife, Ann, and his son Craig to his office overlooking Boston Harbor for a strategy session with aides. Got some good sleep, he said. Exit polling indicated Obama and Clinton were each getting support from almost half of white men, marking a big improvement for the Illinois senator. Former Sen. John Edwards' departure from the Democratic race last week may have helped Obama with white males, who made up more than a quarter of Tuesday's Democratic voters from coast to coast. More than four in 10 women and about the same number of whites also were supporting Obama. That represented a gain for him from most previous Democratic nominating contests this year, although he still trailed Clinton by more than 10 percentage points in both categories, a significant gap in a two-person race. Democrats celebrated heavy turnout in several of their races and hoped they could bottle that electricity until the presidential campaign in the fall. As one measure, Clinton managed to get more votes in Minnesota than all that were cast in the 2004 Democratic caucuses in that state, despite her running a distant second to Obama. Clinton won the biggest state, California, capitalizing on backing from Hispanic voters. Obama scored victories in Alabama and Georgia on the strength of black support, and won a nail-biter in bellwether Missouri. McCain's own victory in California dealt a crushing blow to his closest pursuer, Romney, a former Massachusetts governor. In the competition that counted the most, the Arizona senator had 613 delegates, to 269 for Romney and 190 for Huckabee in incomplete counting. It takes 1,191 to win the GOP nomination. Polling place interviews with voters suggested subtle shifts in the political landscape. For the first time this year, McCain ran first in a few states among self-identified Republicans. As usual, he was running strongly among independents. Romney was getting the votes of about four in 10 people who described themselves as conservative. McCain was winning about one-third of that group, and Huckabee about one in five.

Overall, Clinton was winning only a slight edge among women and white voters, groups that she had won handily in earlier contests, according to preliminary results from interviews with voters in 16 states leaving polling places. Obama was collecting the overwhelming majority of votes cast by blacks — a factor in victories in Alabama and Georgia. Clinton's continued strong appeal among Hispanics — she was winning nearly six in 10 of their votes — was a big factor in her California triumph, and in her victory in Arizona, too. McCain won in California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Missouri, Delaware and his home state of Arizona — each of them winner-take-all primaries. He also pocketed victories in Oklahoma and Illinois. Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, won a series of Bible Belt victories, in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee as well as his own home state. He also triumphed at the Republican West Virginia convention. Romney won a home state victory in Massachusetts. He also took Utah, where fellow Mormons supported his candidacy. His superior organization produced caucus victories in North Dakota, Montana, Minnesota, Alaska and Colorado.

Democrats played out a historic struggle between two senators: Clinton, seeking to become the first female president, and Obama, hoping to become the first black to win the White House. Clinton won at home in New York as well as in California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arizona and Arkansas, where she was first lady for more than a decade. She also won the caucuses in American Samoa. Obama won Connecticut, Georgia, Alabama, Delaware, Utah and his home state of Illinois. He prevailed in caucuses in North Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, Idaho, Alaska and Colorado. His Missouri victory was so close in the vote total that there was no telling whether he or Clinton would end up with a majority of the state's 72 delegates. The allocation of delegates lagged the vote count by hours. That was particularly true for the Democrats, who divided theirs roughly in proportion to the popular vote. Nine of the Republican contests were winner take all, and that was where McCain piled up his lead.

Storm shuts down B.C. ferries and highways FEB 05,08

EDMONTON (CBC) - A Pacific storm is shutting down ferry service in B.C., cutting off power in some coastal areas and making conditions treacherous on northern highways.Environment Canada says the intense frontal system will cross the coast on Tuesday, bringing high winds to many coastal areas and snow to the northern and central interior.B.C. Ferries cancelled sailings on the following routes on Tuesday morning:- Swartz Bay - Tsawwassen- Campbell River - Quadra Island- Quadra Island - Cortes Island- Comox - Powell River.

Meanwhile heavy snow wrought havoc on roads across northern and central B.C. and travel advisories due to snow and limited visibility have been issued for highways north of Prince George.The RCMP say there are numerous crashes along the Alaska Highway, north of Fort St. John, where the roads are in poor conditions and visibility is limited.Police are urging motorists to avoid travel unless absolutely necessary and all truck drivers to use chains.
Officials at School District 60 in the north Peace River District said all school buses would leave their schools three hours early to take students home due to blizzard conditions.

Companies cleaning up after storm
Tue Feb 5, 1:50 PM

PRINCE.EDWARD.ISLAND (CBC) - Cleaning and restoration companies are reporting a brisk business following last week's ice storm on P.E.I.
The calls for repairs began before the storm even ended and continue to flood in, Jodi Getson, operations manager of Ezi-Way Disaster Clean-up and Restoration in Charlottetown, told CBC News Tuesday.We've been dealing with everything from burst pipes to flooded basements. In some cases, we've had some people with problems with their furnaces that caused blow-backs.Getson said the calls cover a wide variety of things - trees falling on houses, so exterior damage, just a various grouping of claims from what Mother Nature dished out this week.Getson said staff have been putting in long hours to get the extra work done.Darryl Adams, manager of Servicemaster in Charlottetown, said his company has been busy, too.

We're getting some frozen pipes and whatnot, more out around the Cavendish, New London area, out there and also farther west: Alberton, Tignish, O'Leary, that area.Roofers are also reporting brisk business, as freezing rain caused ice dams and water backup under shingles.

Diarrhoea outbreak kills 64 in flood-hit Mozambique
Tue Feb 5, 9:23 AM

MAPUTO (AFP) - An outbreak of diarrhoea in a flood-hit city in central Mozambique has claimed the lives of 64 people since early January, the local council said on Tuesday.The municipal authority in the city of Tete said that a total of 835 people had contracted diarrhoea from contaminated water since the flooding began at the start of the year.Sixty-four of that total have not survived, the council's statement said.Around a dozen Mozambicans have been drowned and tens of thousands have lost their homes in the floods that have also affected parts of neighbouring Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi.

Severe storm threat will shift east tomorrow Buzz Bernard
FEB 5,08

South

A squall line, in tandem with a cold front, will slice eastward through the Southeast tomorrow. A few severe storms with strong, damaging winds will be embedded in the line. Isolated tornadoes can't be ruled out, either, although the threat of twisters should be less than today's in the central U.S. Near sunrise, the squall line is expected to extend from eastern Tennessee through Alabama, and by evening should stretch from the central Carolinas to north Florida. High temperatures are forecast to range from the 30s in far northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas (behind the front) to the 80s on the Florida Peninsula and in a small area of eastern North Carolina (ahead of the front).

Northeast

A storm system churning through the Northeast tomorrow will deliver a full gamut of weather: everything from severe storms to ice and snow. The snow, perhaps exceeding half-a-foot in some areas, will be found primarily in northern New York state and northern New England. South of there, a mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow is likely from the southern tier of New York into central New England. In Pennsylvania, southeastern New York, northern New Jersey and southern New England, rain will prevail, and some of it could be heavy. In West Virginia and Virginia, showers and thunderstorms will march eastward during the day, but probably will not reach the Delmarva Peninsula and eastern Virginia by sunset. A few nasty thunderstorms packing powerful wind gusts may rumble over areas from Pennsylvania and New Jersey southward. High temperatures are forecast to range from the 20s in the extreme northern reaches of New York and New England to the 70s in eastern Virginia.

Midwest

In the wake of a low pressure center swirling from the lower Midwest into the Northeast tomorrow, snow will continue to fall from Missouri east-northeastward into Michigan. Snow in the Show Me State will be light and tapering off, but up to a half-foot (in addition to whatever falls tonight) could pile up in central Michigan. Farther west, a few snow showers or flurries could develop over North Dakota, western South Dakota and northwest Nebraska. During the morning, the threat of a few severe thunderstorms may linger over the southern two-thirds of Ohio and eastern Kentucky. Encouraged by blustery westerly winds in the wake of the storms, temperatures across the lower Midwest will hold steady or backslide throughout the day. Overall, highs will range from the teens in parts of the Upper Midwest to the 60s in southeastern Kentucky.

West

Rain and snow showers will dominate the northern half of the West tomorrow, although steadier precipitation will develop in western Washington and western Oregon by afternoon as the next Pacific front sweeps toward the coast. Snow levels in the Northwest will start out quite low, less than 1000 feet, but rise a little as the front approaches. S now in the Cascades will be showery in the morning, but then increase in intensity by evening. High temperatures will be near to below seasonal averages, ranging from the teens in the Rockies to near 70 around Yuma, Arizona.

Millions in China to greet new year without power By Chris Buckley Tue Feb 5, 10:06 AM ET

KAILI, China (Reuters) - Millions of Chinese are likely to spend the biggest holiday of the year without power and water after more than a week of wild winter weather that shut down transport links across large parts of the country. The freezing weather in the run-up to the Lunar New Year break, which begins on Wednesday and offers the only chance for many poor migrant workers to visit loved ones, has killed scores of people.Railways and highways were returning to normal across China on Tuesday but millions are still trying to catch trains, planes and buses to see family in what is normally one of the greatest annual migrations of humanity. Millions more have given up making the journey home.In the southwestern province of Yunnan, four teenagers were found dead after going missing in a snowstorm near the Myanmar border, the official Xinhua news agency said. But soldiers found three other members of the same party alive.Whole cities have had their power and water cut off for more than a week and so far 11 electricians have been killed trying to reconnect lines or break ice encasing poles and cables.

Chenzhou, a city of about 4 million in the central province of Hunan, began its 11th day without power on Tuesday, with people lining up at fire hydrants with buckets to get water.The State Electricity Regulatory Commission said it intended to restore power to 80 percent of affected households in the next few days. Supply to the rest of the families would be resumed by tapping some 2,670 diesel-fired generating vehicles.Kaili, with a population of half a million in the subtropical southern province of Guizhou, was cut off for several days by thick ice and hail.On the road from the provincial capital Guiyang, many areas were still covered in thick ice with pine trees wilting or broken under the weight. Television showed downed powerlines and towers.Kaili and other larger county capitals are receiving electricity, but officials and locals say many villagers in the countryside remain without power and there could be many days if not weeks before it is restored.

CANDLE LIGHT

The situation has been improving with all the outside assistance, but fixing supplies to smaller towns and villages will take a long time, said engineer Zhang Xuejiang.But for many locals, the biggest headache is skyrocketing prices with pork, rice, vegetables and other staples doubling in price, or going even higher.Army and civilian trucks are bringing in diesel generators and boxes of blankets and food.The electricity is back on now, but the problems certainly aren't all over, said a vendor named Xu Song. Food is so expensive.Japan said on Tuesday it would give 57 million yen ($533,800) worth of emergency aid, including blankets and power generators, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.The snow has been falling in China's eastern, central and southern regions since mid-January, bringing down houses, destroying crops and holding up vital coal supplies.Another headache for residents in and around Kaili, with telephone connections either ruptured or weak, has been trying to trace family members planning to return for the holiday.

Zhang Dehua, waiting for his son at Kaili station, had called him a couple of days ago but hadn't heard of him since. I was hoping he would be on that train but I don't think he was, he said forlornly. I will just have to wait for the next one and maybe the next one.At noon on Tuesday, service at two railway stations in the southern city of Guangzhou was back to normal after 11 days of chaos, according to the Guangzhou Railway Group Corp. About 3.5 million people left the province by train by Tuesday noon, and basically, all the passengers who held tickets but had been stranded at different railway stations have left, a spokesman was quoted by Xinhua as saying. About 350,000 train passengers left Beijing on Monday, 20,000 more than on Sunday, according to a spokesman with the Beijing Railway Bureau. He said that rail stations in the capital would probably see usage peak on Tuesday.

Exploding black holes could expose hidden dimensions
18:48 05 February 2008 NewScientist.com news service Ker Than

Cosmic flares shot from exploding black holes could provide long-sought proof of extra spatial dimensions, new calculations suggest.
Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes evaporate through a quantum process known as Hawking evaporation and can explode in brief bursts of energy before vanishing completely.Only mini-black holes roughly as massive as an asteroid or smaller would be able to evaporate completely within the lifetime of the universe. And such tiny black holes may have been created in large numbers within 1 second of the big bang, as elementary particles clumped together at extreme energies.
Now, researchers led by Michael Kavic of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, US, say the evaporation of such primordial black holes could emit detectable radiation – if the universe contains additional dimensions beyond the familiar three of space and one of time. Such extra dimensions are predicted in some theories that try to unify gravity and quantum mechanics, such as string theory.

In the presence of extra dimensions, black holes would wrap around these extra dimensions to form black strings.You can envision this as a rubber band wrapped around a fire hose, Kavic told New Scientist. As the black hole evaporates, it eventually becomes too small to wrap the extra dimension.Unique pulseHe and colleagues predict that when a black string snaps, it will expose the extra dimension by creating a pulse of radiation with a unique electromagnetic signature. We would know them if we saw them, Kavic told New Scientist.By analysing the frequency of the pulse, scientists could calculate the size of the extra dimension, which could lend insight into which cosmological model best describes the universe. The size of the black string is directly related to the size of the extra dimension at the time of the explosion, Kavic says.

The team says the light pulses could be detected by radio telescopes capable of scanning the entire sky in one sweep, such as Virginia Tech's Eight-meter-wavelength Transient Array.
Traditional radio telescopes only focus on a very small part of the sky at any one time, Kavic said. This means that they could easily have missed these kinds of pulses.Good timingThe new test comes at an opportune time, says Charles Keeton, an astronomer at Rutgers University in New Jersey, US: Our ability to observe exploding black holes is limited only by the sensitivity of our radio telescopes, and that is getting better.But while much theoretical work has been done on primordial black holes and extra dimensions, their existence remains unproven.The big question is whether such black holes are produced in the first place, says Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US. In principle, it's possible to make such black holes, but in the standard model of cosmology, it is not natural.

There are a lot of layers here of nonstandard assumptions, Loeb told New Scientist. If nothing could be observed in this context, then it would not surprise me.While definitely a gamble, the payoffs from such a search would be enormous, Kavic argues. The successful detection of the kind of black hole explosion the team predicts would confirm not only the existence of extra dimensions, but also of primordial black holes and Hawking evaporation.All three of these are quantum gravitational phenomena [and] would drastically alter our view of space-time and the fundamental nature of our universe, Kavic says.The team has submitted the study to Physical Review Letters.

Spanish King Juan Carlos holds talks in Egypt to boost ties Tue, 05 Feb 2008 15:20:07 GMT Author : DPA

Cairo - King Juan Carlos of Spain, on an official visit to Cairo, held talks Tuesday with Egyptian President Hosny Mubarak and other top leaders over boosting ties and sealing a strategic bilateral treaty. The Spanish monarch and Mubarak discussed the treaty - the second of its kind between Spain and a country south of the Mediterranean - which would boost ties to an unprecedented level, Egyptian foreign Minister Ahmed Abul-Gheit said. Economic agreements were also signed, including a financial protocol, under which a 375-million-dollar Spanish fund would be spent on infrastructure projects in Egypt, Abul-Gheit explained. The King and Queen Sophia of Spain will open Tuesday evening an exhibition entitled Ibn-Khaldun in Andalusia, which reflects the historic ties between Spain and the Islamic world. Ibn-Khaldun was a 14th century Muslim sociologist, who had lived between Muslim Spain and North Africa. respective author or news agency.

Iran launches its 1st space rocket,Talks underway to buy advanced Russian air-defense system February 4, 2008 1:17 p.m. Eastern By Jerome R. Corsi 2008 WorldNetDaily.com

Iranian leaders watch last year's rocket launch, which failed to reach orbit. Today, Tehran claimed it achieved success.
Iran today conducted its first successful space-rocket launch, with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on hand to order the takeoff and inaugurate the country's space center, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency. Government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham, who also observed the launch of Researcher-1 today, announced Iran soon plans to send its first satellite into space, the Omid. Tehran claims the satellite is made in Iran and intended for research.

The Iranian Student News Agency said the Omid would be launched in the next Iranian calendar year, which begins March 20. Today's launch, the news agency said, enters Iran in the ranks of 11 countries that have sent a rocket into space. One year ago, Iran launched a domestically built rocket that failed to reach orbit level. Western observers continue to express concern that the space program could be a cover for Iran's attempt to develop a military ballistics missile program capable of delivering an atomic warhead.

Today's launch may also have been timed to answer Israel's successful test of a new long-range missile propulsion engine Jan. 17 at the IDF's Palmachim Air Force Base.

Moscow to deliver?

In a separate development, the Russian news agency RIA Novosti published a report Friday that Iran was continuing to negotiate with the Russian government for the delivery of an advanced S-300 air defense missile system to Iran. Iran's determination to defend nuclear and military sites with advanced Russian-built surface-to-air missile systems is widely viewed as an attempt to harden the targets against air and missile attacks by the U.S. or Israel. In December, Iranian Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar announced Iran and Russia had signed a contract under which Moscow promised to deliver an unspecified number of S-300s to Iran.

Subsequently, a statement from Russia's Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation raised doubts about Najjar's claim, issuing a statement that delivery of the missiles was not a subject of current negotiations. According to RIA Novosti, the advanced version of the S-300 system, the S-300PMU1, or SA-20 Gargoyle, has a range of over 150 kilometers, about 93 miles, and can intercept ballistic missiles and aircraft at both low and high altitudes.
According to Israeli news reports, the S-300s are effective against cruise missiles and ballistic warheads and are equivalent to the PAC-3 Patriot missile, though Russian military officials contend the S-300 is of a higher operational standard than the U.S.-built Patriot missiles currently used by Israel. One year ago, WND reported Russia had begun delivery to Iran of 29 TOR M-1 mobile surface-to-air missile defense missiles in a $1 billion deal with Iran. The S-300 is considered a major improvement over the TOR M-1 system now in place in Iran defending multiple nuclear and military sites.

Russian space cargo ship launched FEB 05,08

MOSCOW - An unmanned Russian cargo ship carrying over 2.75 tons of supplies, equipment and gifts blasted off Tuesday for the international space station, officials said. The Progress M-63 lifted off at 4:03 p.m from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, said Russia's Mission Control spokesman, Valery Lyndin said.The launch was conducted without a hitch and the ship has successfully entered a designated orbit on its way to the station, Lyndin said. The ship is due to dock at the station Thursday.It is carrying oxygen, water and food, including honey, fruit and vegetables for the crew — U.S. astronauts Peggy Whitson and Daniel Tani and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko. It is also delivering scientific equipment and experiments, Lyndin said.

Russia angry at Poland's preliminary OK to US missile shield
04.02.2008 - 09:25 CET | By Renata Goldirova

Reviving World War II rhetoric, Russia has warned Poland against hosting a US missile defence shield after Warsaw last week agreed in principle to host parts of the system on its territory.The Polish colleagues must be reminded of their recent history, which indicates that attempts to place Poland 'on the confrontation line' have always led to tragedies. That way, Poland lost nearly one third of its citizens during World War II, Russia's envoy to NATO Dmitry Rogozin told Russian news agency Interfax on Sunday (3 February).He added: I was sure this horrible lesson would not be wasted and Poland would plan its foreign policy relying on friendly relations all along the borderline.Mr Rogozin's tough-worded comments come shortly after Polish foreign minister Radek Sikorski indicated last Friday (1 February) that Warsaw was warming up to the idea of hosting US interceptor missiles on its soil. We are not at the end of the road as regards negotiations, Mr Sikorski said during his visit to Washington, adding: We are in the middle of the road. We have an agreement in principle.Comments from US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice suggest that the US has agreed to strengthen Poland's own defences, meaning an extensive overhaul of its air defences - something that has been a key demand put forward by the current Polish administration.

We understand that there is a desire for defence modernisation in Poland and particularly for air-defence modernization, said Ms Rice, adding: this is something that we support because it will make our ally, Poland, more capable.The Bush administration wants to deploy ten interceptor missiles on Polish territory and a radar base in the Czech Republic, claiming such a military base would defend the two continents, America and Europe, from rogue states such as Iran and North Korea. The military base is expected to be fully operational by 2013. But the Kremlin, which dominated the Central Europe until 1989, has long been suspicious of the US missile defence plans for the region. It believes the military system is to be directed against Russia. Russian president Vladimir Putin has already responded by freezing his country's commitments under the 1990 Conventional Forces in Europe (CEF) treaty, which sets limits on the number of conventional weapons and military deployments across the continent. According to Mr Rogozin, Poland failed to fulfil its previous promise to tackle the issue in dialogue with Washington, Brussels and Moscow. It is obvious now, that the dialogue with Moscow has ended having not even started, generally speaking, he told Interfax. Later this week (8 February), Donald Tusk will make his first visit to Moscow. In March, he is to visit the White House. The missile defence shield issue is to dominate both high-level meetings.2008 EUobserver

Stocks plunge on service sector weakness By MADLEN READ, AP Business Writer FEB 5,08

NEW YORK - Wall Street plunged Tuesday, driving the Dow Jones industrials down 370 points after investors saw an unexpected contraction in the service sector as evidence the economy is sinking into recession. It was the Dow's biggest percentage drop in almost a year. The volatility that pummeled stocks in January returned with the news that the service sector shrank last month for the first time since March 2003. The report from the Institute for Supply Management wiped out the nascent optimism about the economy that had sent stocks surging higher last week.The report drives a nail into the coffin from investors' minds that we're in a recession, said Todd Salamone, director of trading at Schaeffer's Investment Research. That doesn't mean stock prices in the months ahead will be lower. But when you see headline numbers like this, there tends to be a reactionary sell.The ISM said its index of service sector activity, which accounts for about two-thirds of the economy, dropped below 50, a level that indicates contraction. The market had expected another month of growth, and the disappointment contributed to Tuesday's $500 billion loss in the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, an index that measures the movement in 5,000 U.S. stocks.Alongside the Labor Department's report last week showing the first monthly U.S. jobs decline in more than four years, the data on the service sector — which includes businesses ranging from restaurants to retailers to banks — was particularly worrisome to investors.

Though Wall Street hopes the Federal Reserve will keep slashing interest rates to stoke the economy, some believe the central bank, which lowered rates 1.25 percent in just over a week last month, acted too late. Rate cuts take several months to take effect, and moreover, many analysts are skeptical that rate cuts are the correct remedy for an economy saddled with bad debt in the wake of a housing market implosion.Fitch Ratings' plans to lower the rating on more than $100 billion wrapped up in bond funds called collateralized debt obligations added to the host of concerns plaguing Wall Street. Downgrades would mean the securities — many of which are backed by mortgages — are worth even less than many investors thought. That could cause more problems for strugging banks, brokerages, and bond insurers hurt by investments in mortgages that went sour.The Dow fell 370.03, or 2.93 percent, to 12,265.13, after falling 108 points on Monday. Tuesday's slide was the blue chip index's largest one-day percentage drop since it lost 3.3 percent on Feb. 27, 2007, and its largest point drop since it fell 387 points last Aug. 9.The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 44.18, or 3.20 percent, closing at 1,336.64, while the Nasdaq composite index tumbled 73.28, or 3.08 percent, to 2,309.57.In Monday and Tuesday's trading, the Dow gave up most of the gains it made last week, when it jumped 536 points, or 4.39 percent, in a burst of optimism about the economy. It's not surprising that the volatile market would pull back on any bad economic news — but some analysts claim stocks should be near their bottom given how low investors sentiment is right now.According to JPMorgan equities analyst Thomas J. Lee, the three worst readings on record in the ISM's service sector index are associated with stocks rising in the ensuing three months — on average, by 6 percent.

Even if the stock market is near its low point, though, it has a lot of ground to recover. The Dow is down more than 13 percent since its Oct. 9 record settlement of 14,164.53. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 — the measure most watched by market professionals — is down 8.9 percent for the year, the worst year-to-date performance for the index ever. The S&P 500 has fallen 14.6 percent from its Oct. 9 high.Bond prices jumped as investors sought the safety of government-backed debt. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, sank to 3.58 percent from 3.64percent late Monday.The ISM report is particularly alarming, said Bernard Baumohl, managing director of the Economic Outlook Group LLC. Because Americans will not pare back spending significantly on necessary services like health care and transportation, January's rapid decline in service sector activity suggests that investors may have underestimated how damaged the economy is, he wrote in a research note.On Tuesday, the biggest losers in the stock market were banks, which have already suffered huge losses in their investment portfolios last year and are now socking billions of dollars away to prepare for debt-burdened consumers to stop making payments.Dow component Citigroup Inc. fell $2.17, or 7.4 percent, to $27.05, while JPMorgan Chase & Co., another Dow component, fell $2.33, or 5 percent, to $44.28. Washington Mutual Inc. fell $1.08, or 5.6 percent, to $18.08; Bank of America Corp. fell $1.66, or 3.8 percent, to $42.37; and Wachovia Corp. fell $1.35, or 3.8 percent, to $34.18.When you have the financials in intensive care such as they are, for any economy like ours, they must heal, said Quincy Krosby, chief investment strategist at the Hartford. They drew us into this; they must lead us out.Light, sweet crude oil declined $1.61 to $88.41 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, as traders bet that a slower economy would dampen energy demand. An extended drop in energy prices could aid businesses that are finding their supply costs are rising, but that their customers are having trouble taking on price increases.

The dollar rose against other major currencies, while gold prices fell. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 21.88, or 3.02 percent, to 701.58. Stocks overseas also retreated. Japan's Nikkei stock average fell 0.82 percent; Hong Kong's Hang Seng index fell 0.89 percent; Britain's FTSE 100 fell 2.63 percent; Germany's DAX index fell 3.36 percent; and France's CAC-40 fell 3.96 percent.

Oil Drops Below $89 on Recession Fears
By GEORGE JAHN – FEB 5,08

VIENNA, Austria (AP) — Oil prices slumped Tuesday, dragged down by persistent concerns about the U.S. economy and global stock market declines.Energy investors often view stocks as a proxy for economic growth, and in some recent sessions, movements in the oil market have closely followed that of global equities.Light, sweet crude for March delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange lost $1.41 to $88.61 a barrel in electronic trading by aftenoon in Europe.

Brent crude declined 68 cents to $89.79 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.On Monday, the Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 100 points as investors cashed in profits from the market's best week in nearly five years. On Tuesday, Japan's Nikkei stock average closed down 0.82 percent and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index fell 0.89 percent. In Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.61 percent in morning trading, while Germany's DAX index fell 0.84 percent and France's CAC-40 lost 1.30 percent.The market is in uncertain territory as worries about the economy in the U.S. continue to weigh — it's unclear how deep the recession will be, if there is a recession, said Victor Shum, an energy analyst with Purvin & Gertz in Singapore.Meanwhile, the market tends to move in tandem with global equities markets.Oil prices should drop further in the coming weeks as demand diminishes with the end of the Northern Hemisphere winter, Shum said.We're entering the shoulder season between the Northern Hemisphere winter, which is ending, and before the U.S. summer driving season ... pricing should soften, he said.

The Schork Report, edited by energy analyst Stephen Schork, said at least one market mover — OPEC — already appeared to have made up its mind about the state of the U.S. economy, with bullish consequences likely.Noting that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries at its Vienna meeting last week had referred to a full-blown U.S. financial crisis, the news letter concluded that with demand, both seasonal and economic, for crude oil drying up, the odds of a cut when OPEC meets again next month are shortening. The March crude contract rose $1.06 to settle at $90.02 a barrel on Monday in New York after the U.S. government reported strong data on factory orders, raising hope that the world's largest economy will dodge a recession that would curtail demand for energy.A temporary closure of the Houston Shipping Channel and a ship channel near Port Arthur, Texas, both key waterways used to transport crude oil to Texas refineries, also pushed prices higher Monday.

Also supporting prices Monday were new reports of violence in northern Iraq and Nigeria. Turkish warplanes bombed 70 Kurdish rebel sites in northern Iraq, while a Nigerian rebel group attacked security forces near a Royal Dutch Shell PLC oil-pumping station, killing three soldiers. Violence in both regions contributed to oil's rise to US$100 a barrel earlier this year.Heating oil and gasoline fell by close to 3 cents to $2.4569 and $2.2820 a gallon, while gasoline natural gas futures added nearly 4 cents to fetch $7.905 per 1,000 cubic feet.Associated Press Writer Gillian Wong contributed to this report from Singapore

Economist: Expect Fed to lower Dow to 8,000. Critic claims agreements involving billions used to shift market FEB 5, 2008
1:00 a.m. Eastern By Jerome R. Corsi 2008 WorldNetDaily.com

Consumers should expect a deep recession, triggered by the stealth methodology of the Federal Reserve to depress the market even while lowering interest rates in an ostensible effort to stimulate economic growth, an economic analyst charges. The Federal Reserve is directly involved in manipulating the stock market, said Mike Bolser in a telephone interview with WND yesterday. The New York Stock Exchange finished the day down 108 points, closing at 12,635, much as Bolser predicted, despite recent emergency Fed rate cuts of 1.25 percentage points aimed at stimulating the economy. Fed wants the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other financial indicators to descend in a managed way, Bolser said. The Fed wants to drive the DJIA toward the 8,000 level, or below, in order to help create a deep recession which will have the effect of slowing consumption across the board and dampening the otherwise harmful effects of inflation. A falling DOW is only one element of the recession effects of the excessive Fed-created housing and credit creation, whose bubbles are now bursting, he added. Without this recession, we would be on quick trip to hyper-inflation, Bolser, the author of an internationally followed newsletter published in conjunction with his InterventionalAnalysis.com website, said, and the Fed wants to prevent this.

In his twice-daily subscription newsletter, Bolser has devised a quantitative methodology for utilizing Federal Reserve repurchase agreements to predict upward and downward movements of the DJIA, measured on a 30-day moving average. Yesterday, Bolser noted the Fed added $18 billion to repurchase agreements, edging the pool up to a total of $153.158 billion in unexpired temporary repurchase agreements.Repurchase agreements involve a sophisticated use of government securities issued every day by the Fed, but little understood or followed, even by sophisticated investors. A repurchase agreement, as defined by the Fed, is a government security offered by the federal government to a small list of specified primary government securities dealers, for a limited period of time, usually 28 days or less, with overnight return being the most common. The government securities are rented by the primary dealers and they can be added to the primary dealer's portfolio or collateralized and then used in the open market to implement the Fed's open market policy. At the end of the repurchase agreement, the Fed obligates itself to take back the government securities from the primary dealers, effectively canceling the contract.

Meanwhile, while holding the government securities let out by the Fed in the repo agreement, primary dealers are free to utilize the liquidity provided by the repurchase agreement to manipulate the economy in accordance with the Fed's true monetary policy, whether publicly declared or not. Primary dealers use the funds provided by the government securities they hold under the repurchase agreements to buy dollar exchange futures contracts, stock market futures, or to buy commodities contracts, including gold mining shares. All of this is in accord with implementing Federal Reserve monetary policy to manipulate currency, commodity and stock markets up or down, depending on the goals the Fed wants to accomplish at any particular time, the economist alleges. Over the past several months, however, the Fed has implemented a policy to issue smaller amounts of daily repurchase agreements, with the goal of reducing the total pool of repurchase agreements available to the Fed's short list of 20 banks that it qualifies to serve as primary government securities dealers participating in the Fed's Open Market Operations. Only the 20 banks specified in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's list of primary government securities dealers are allowed to participate in Fed repurchase agreements.

The primary government security dealer banks are like a private club, Bolser told WND. You get to stay in the club as long as you take the repurchase agreements and enter the markets to implement Fed monetary policy the way the Fed wants it implemented. Violate the unspoken rules, and you risk being thrown out of the club.
Yesterday's $18 billion addition to the repurchase agreement pool caused the total amount of the outstanding repurchase agreement pool to remain below the Dow's 30-day moving average in a clear trend. Bolser used this data to predict the Fed was manipulating the stock market lower, a controversial prediction when most economists see the Fed's emergency actions to reduce the target Fed Funds rate 1.25 percentage points lower over an eight-day period that ended with last Wednesday's meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee. Ultimately, the government is in the business of inflating the dollar, Bolser said, so the Fed is trying to engineer a recession, in order to cushion the pernicious effects of its own inflation.In my view, the government intentionally desires a deep recession not unlike that of the 1930s, he continued. The Fed, however, dissembles, attempting to display the opposite impression with its rate cuts.

Cutting rates will not boost the economy in an environment where the credit bubble has burst and banks are afraid to lend, he explained. But decreasing the repurchase pool will push the economy down, especially when the primary banks execute monetary policy in accordance with the wishes of the Fed to short the market with future contracts that push the indices down.Bolser argued the Fed's ability to manipulate the market by increasing or decreasing the pool of available repurchase agreements amounts to a stealth methodology where the Fed can now depress the market, while implementing a policy of lowering interest rates, which most economists would see as trying to stimulate economic growth and the stock market. You have to remember the primary goal of the Fed is to support the bond market, which the Fed has done for quarter century, Bolser stressed. The Fed needs a strong bond market so the Treasury can sell the enormous amount of Treasury securities, especially to China, that we need to sell to finance what this year may be as large as a $400 billion dollar budget deficit calculated on a cash basis.As a result, the friend of the Fed is the bond speculator, he added. Among the U.S. banks and securities firms currently on the list are Bank of America Securities, Cantor Fitzgerald, Countrywide Securities, Bear Stearns, Daiwa Securities America, Goldman Sachs, Greenwich Capital Markets, HSBC Securities (USA), J.P. Morgan Securities, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch Government Securities and Morgan Stanley. Also on the list are France's BNP Paribas Securities, Great Britain's Barclays Capital, Switzerland's Credit Suisse Securities, Japan's Mizuho Securities and Germany's Dresden Kleinwort Wasserstein Securities. These dealers are the foot soldiers of the Fed, as it implements monetary policy, Bolser said. Studying Bolser’s Repos/DOW chart from Dec. 7 through yesterday, a broad correlation between the downward movement in the Fed repurchase agreements pool totals and the DJIA as seen by tracking the 30-day moving average is clear. With this strategy, the Fed hopes we won't experience the extreme 'stag-flation' we had in the late 1970s, he argues. The Fed hopes to induce a recession to manage downward stock prices and commodity prices, including oil, gold, copper, and lumber, as well as the overall consumer demand for retail goods.Stag-flation is an unusual economic situation in which economic stagnation is combined with inflation. Some economics believe that is happening now as the economy slows down while food and energy prices rise sharply.

Huckabee wins all 18 W.Va. delegates FEB 5,08

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Mike Huckabee won the first contest declared on Super Tuesday, picking up all 18 national delegates awarded at West Virginia's state GOP convention. Huckabee bested Mitt Romney, who entered the Mountain State event with the largest bloc of pledged convention-goers. Both men and Ron Paul made in-person appeals to the more than 1,100 convention delegates attending Tuesday's convention. But the former Arkansas governor beat his Massachusetts counterpart after delegates for John McCain defected to his side.

The first round of voting at the state convention produced no winner, but eliminated Paul after his fourth-place finish.The results are the first from the 21 states with GOP primaries or caucuses Tuesday.Arizona Sen. John McCain challenged his remaining rivals for control of the Republican presidential race Tuesday in primaries and caucuses from Connecticut to California. Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama vied for delegates in a grueling campaign with no end in sight.After an early series of low-delegate, single-state contests, Super Tuesday was anything but — primaries and caucuses spread across nearly half the country in the most wide-open presidential campaign in memory.McCain was the Republican front-runner, all but unchallenged in winner-take-all primaries in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and his home state of Arizona.Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, struggling to sustain his candidacy, concentrated on Missouri and California as well as several caucuses states.Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee concentrated in a swath of Southern and border states. Texas Rep. Ron Paul had the fourth spot on the ballot.In the first contest decided Tuesday, Huckabee won all 18 delegates at the West Virginia GOP convention. Romney had hoped to claim victory there, but with McCain trailing, his backers switched their support to Huckabee to deprive Romney of the win.

Addressing the convention beforehand, Romney asked voters, Are we going to put a true conservative in the house that Ronald Reagan built or are we going to take a left turn? Earlier, on NBC's Today show, McCain said he had to convince voters that he is the conservative candidate. I've got the record, and I can lead this nation in the struggle against radical Islamic extremism, he said.
Obama and Clinton conceded in advance that neither was likely to emerge from the busiest day in primary history with anything more than a relatively narrow edge in Democratic convention delegates.
Senator Clinton, I think, has to be the prohibitive favorite going in given her name recognition, but we've been steadily chipping away, said Obama, seeking to downplay expectations.As she voted in Chappaqua, N.Y., Clinton acknowledged, The stakes are huge.Already, both campaigns were looking ahead to Feb. 9 contests in Louisiana, Kansas, Nebraska and Washington state and Feb. 12 primaries in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. And increasingly, it looked like the Democrats' historic race between a woman and a black man would go into early spring, possibly longer.

In a conference call Tuesday with reporters, Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson and senior strategist Mark Penn said that while they believe Clinton will emerge from Super Tuesday voting with more delegates overall than Barack Obama, the Illinois senator may well win more delegates in Tuesday's contests.They also acknowledged that Obama is well positioned to win several of the contests between now and March 4, when Ohio and Texas vote. But Penn said Clinton was polling strongly in Ohio and Texas and in Pennsylvania, whose primary is April 22. Wolfson said the campaign would seek four debates with Obama between now and March 4. It was not clear whether Obama has agreed to the proposal, and a spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Democrats had 1,681 Super Tuesday delegates to allocate in primaries in 15 states and caucuses in seven more plus American Samoa. Clinton led Obama in the delegate chase as the polls opened, 261 to 196, on the strength of so-called superdelegates. They are members of Congress and other party leaders, not chosen by primary or caucus-goers. Republicans had 1,023 delegates at stake in 15 primaries, six caucuses and one state convention. The evening began with McCain holding 102 delegates, to 93 for Romney, 43 for Huckabee and four for Paul. It takes 1,191 to win up the nomination. The de facto national primary was the culmination of a relentless campaign that moved into overdrive during Christmas week. After a brief rest for the holiday, the candidates flew back to Iowa on Dec. 26 for a final stretch of campaigning before the state's caucuses offered the first test of the election year. New Hampshire's traditional first-in-the-nation primary followed a few days later, then a seemingly endless series of campaign days interspersed by debates and a handful of primaries and caucuses.

Along the way, the poorest performers dropped out: Democratic Sens. Joe Biden and Chris Dodd, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio; and Republican Reps. Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo, and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson. Former Sen. John Edwards pulled out of the Democratic race last week, and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani left the Republican field. Edwards offered no endorsement as he exited, instead leaving Obama and Clinton to vie for help from his fundraisers and supporters. But Obama benefited from an endorsement by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who made a series of campaign appearances in California as well as his home state of Massachusetts. Giuliani quit the race and backed McCain in the same breath, clearing the way for the Westerner in New York and New Jersey. Giuliani's departure also made it possible for California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to back McCain. He said he would not have done so as long as the former mayor was in the race.
Obama and Clinton spent an estimated $20 million combined to advertise on television in the Feb 5 states. Obama spent $11 million, running ads in 18 of the 22 states with democratic contests. Clinton ran ads in 17, for a total of $9 million. Neither advertised in Illinois, Obama's home state.

ROMANIA THE 5TH COUNTRY ALREADY TO RATIFY LISBON TREATY NOW....WHATCH OUT....THE EU PRESIDENT IS ON HIS WAY.

EC President Barroso congratulates Romania for ratifying Lisbon Treaty published in issue 4114 page 2 at 2008-02-06

Bucharest – The President of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, congratulated Romania for ratifying the Treaty of Lisbon, expressing his hope that EU states will swiftly follow the track of the four countries that have already passed this treaty. France would be the first of the large EU countries to vote, Thursday, on the document.The European Commission president holds that Monday evening’s ratification by Romania’s Parliament is yet another stage toward the goal of the new treaty coming to effect as from January 1, 2009. Romanian Parliament passed the ratification law 387-1, with 1 abstention, of all the 463 Legislative seats.National Initiative Party (PIN) Deputy Lavinia Sandru was the only Romanian MP that voted against the ratification law. Conservative Deputy Dragos Dumitru abstained from voting.

French MPs set for EU treaty vote
04.02.2008 - 09:17 CET | By Honor Mahony and Lucia Kubosova

French parliamentarians will this afternoon (4 February) gather for a special session in the Versailles palace where they are expected to take a significant step towards ratifying the EU treaty.French daily Le Monde reports that 577 deputies and 330 senators will gather at 4pm in the famous palace to adopt a law modifying the French constitution in favour of the EU's Lisbon Treaty.The constitutional amendment is expected to be passed without problem - a constitutional amendment needs a 60 percent majority - as the governing centre-right UMP party of president Nicolas Sarkozy is set to largely vote in favour while the socialists have said they will abstain.The move will bring to a close a turbulent phase in EU-French relations that kicked off when France shocked Europe by voting against the draft EU constitution almost three years ago.

Since becoming president in June last year, Mr Sarkozy has on several occasions said he will bring France back to the heart of Europe, with an early ratification of the Lisbon Treaty seen as key to this.The next step after Monday's vote will be parliamentary ratification of the EU treaty on Wednesday and Thursday (7 February).The quick path through parliament contrasts strongly to events in 2005 when the Versailles constitutional amendment vote in February three years ago were followed by a highly emotional debate on the constitution. Three months later, it was eventually rejected by 55 percent of the electorate. This time around, Mr Sarkozy has flatly refused to have a public vote, saying that if France takes the referendum path, other countries, such as the UK, will have to follow suit, making it unlikely that the Lisbon treaty will be ratified by all 27 member states - which is required for it to come into force.

Slovakia moots referendum

But if the parliamentary vote in France is expected to go smoothly, events in Slovakia have taken a more farcical turn.Last week, the country saw a series of delays to the vote on ratifying the EU treaty because of a dispute between the governing and opposition parties over a separate law, with the vote now scheduled for Thursday.But the country's ruling coalition upped the stakes over the weekend by talking about holding a referendum if opposition parties keep blocking the vote due to their dislike of the government's draft media bill, seen as too restrictive.Vladimir Meciar, former prime minister and leader of the Movement for Democratic Slovakia party (HZDS-LS), which belongs to a three-party ruling coalition, signalled during a TV debate that if the opposition continued in its resistance, he would officially file a bid for a referendum on the treaty.While the centre-left SMER party and Slovak national party - both governing parties - reacted cautiously, saying a referendum should be the last resort, opposition delegates strongly disapproved.They argued there is no need for a popular vote as there is enough support for the Lisbon treaty in Slovakia's parliament.But they insisted they would maintain their protest against the controversial media bill until the government withdraws it or starts negotiating its content.

Slovakia is one of the 18 countries that ratified the original European Constitution. The constitution was shelved after being rejected by French and Dutch voters, though most of its institutional innovations are included in the current Lisbon treaty.2008 EUobserver.

Tony Blair: I'll Be European Union President If You Give Me The Power 2008-02-02 14:55:16 (3 days ago)Posted By: Intellpuke

Tony Blair has been holding discussions with some of his oldest allies on how he could mount a campaign later this year to become full-time president of the E.U. council, the prestigious new job characterized as president of Europe. Blair, currently the Middle East envoy for the U.S., Russia, European Union and the U.N., has told friends he has made no final decision, but is increasingly willing to put himself forward for the job if it comes with real powers to intervene in defense and trade affairs.Blair, who is being actively promoted by the French president Nicolas Sarkozy, recognizes he would need to abandon his well-paid, private sector jobs if he won. His wife Cherie - often portrayed as seeking ever more wealth and well-paid consultancies for her husband - is understood to be supportive of him accepting the job. Some Blair allies also say that he now recognizes that as envoy in the Middle East he is not going to be allowed to become the key player in furthering Israeli-Palestinian talks this year, and will be reduced to a role of supporting political development in Palestine and boosting its economy.

The president of the European council of ministers is a post created under the Lisbon treaty. The president will be the permanent chair of the council of ministers, Europe's chief decision-making body.Jonathan Powell, Blair's Downing Street chief of staff, is among the former lieutenants he has met to discuss a bid for the European role.Some senior figures believe he could yet be a loser in the carve-up of four big European jobs due to be distributed at the end of the French presidency in the second half of this year. Some claim that if the commission president, José Manuel Barroso, wanted to remain in post for a second term, it would be difficult for Blair, a political ally and previous advocate for Barroso, to hold the parallel, prestigious European council job.Decisions also have to be made on the appointment of a new, high representative on foreign policy, and the post of president of the European parliament. Smaller E.U. countries are sensitive about key jobs being taken by leading figures from larger countries, especially from one that is not part of the eurozone or the Schengen free-movement area, and that actively supports Turkish membership, as Britain has. Some French socialists have already come out against Blair, citing his role in the war in Iraq. Former French president Valery Giscard D'Estaing has also expressed his opposition.

It is thought that the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, is not persuaded of the advantages of a Blair presidency. The Christian Democrats have recently been politically weakened in state elections, and fear a Blair presidency might strengthen the German Social Democrats. Neither the Germans nor the French would push Blair if they believed his appointment was going to be opposed by Gordon Brown.Blair himself is still doubtful that the role of council president will become a powerful job, saying he senses that even pro-Europeans might recoil from ceding power from the nation state.With most countries currently focused on ratifying the Lisbon treaty through their national parliaments, decisions on the powers of the full-time president are unlikely to be made until the second half of the year.Apart from Blair, two other candidates most often mentioned are the former Austrian chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel, promoted by Germany, and the current Luxembourg prime minister, Jean-Claude Juncker.Intellpuke: Let's see, Blair lied to the House of Commons and the British people about the need to go to war in Iraq. He provided them with a 19-page intelligence dossier to back this up, but at least 12 pages of the dossier turned out to have been taken verbatim from a thesis done by a college student 12 years earlier and which the former student said was way out of date. During Blair's tenure as Britain's prime minister the country's National Health Service became even worse than it was before he took office, and by the time he left office Britain's education system was a shambles. As for defense and trade matters, Blair squelched a major government investigation into bribery charges against one of the U.K.'s largest defense contractors who allegedly paid a Saudi Prince over $1 billion in cash and gifts to get a lucrative arms sales contract with Saudi Arabia.

Blair claimed the investigation jeopardized national security, the same excuse Bush and Cheney have been using to hide their crimes. Then there was the pay for honors scandal where those who contributed enough to Britain's Labor Party were made peers such as Sirs and Earls. After Downing Street, he was made special envoy to the Middle East for the Group of Four and brought peace to the region ... no, wait, there's still no peace there. Yep, that's just what the E.U. wants and needs for a president - a brummagem poltroon whose only success was being Bush and Cheney's lap dog. And I'm not the least bit surprised that French President Sarkozy is supporting Blair for E.U. president.

EU preparing WTO media complaint against China
Bloomberg NewsPublished: February 5, 2008

GENEVA: The European Union has threatened to complain to the World Trade Organization about Chinese restrictions on foreign providers of financial news, saying time was running out for a negotiated solution.The EU trade commissioner, Peter Mandelson, has drafted a proposal to request the initiation of a dispute settlement procedure at the WTO concerning measures affecting the supply of financial information services in China, according to a document produced on Jan. 25 by the European Commission, the EU's executive arm in Brussels.In September 2006, Xinhua, the official Chinese news agency, was given sole power to regulate organizations like Bloomberg, Dow Jones and Reuters Group that distribute news in China, while competing with them.The European Union and the United States criticized the move, which marked a further tightening of media controls in China.The EU will be forced to take the matter to the World Trade Organization unless China agrees to change its policies, said an EU commission trade official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the decision had not yet been made. It would be the EU's second case against China at the WTO.

Hamas Slams Visits of Solana, Blair
Mohammed Mar’i, Arab News

Palestinian women shout in front of the gate of the Rafah crossing border with Egypt during a protest calling on Egypt to open their border with the Gaza Strip on Saturday. (Reuters)

RAMALLAH, West Bank, 3 February 2008 — The Hamas Movement yesterday harshly criticized EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and Mideast Quartet envoy Tony Blair saying that both officials were leading a conspiracy to keep Rafah crossing (on the border between Gaza Strip and Egypt) closed.Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said that the two officials’ scheduled visit to the region this week to discuss reopening the crossing is a new plot to keep the blockade on Gaza Strip.Abu Zuhri explained in a press statement that the visit aims at cutting the road before Hamas’ attempts to reopen Rafah crossing with new arrangements bypassing the Israeli occupation’s intervention in monitoring the crossing. Rafah crossing and other crossings between Gaza and Israel were closed in June when Hamas took over Gaza Strip by force from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ security forces.Since Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, Rafah crossing was working according to a US-brokered Rafah agreement that stipulates the presence of EU monitors as a third party on the terminal. Abu Zuhri said that Blair and Solana will also try to gather international support for Abbas to reactivate the agreement and enabling the Israeli occupation to control the traffic in and out of the crossing.He questioned why the EU and the Quartet, comprising US, EU, Russia and the UN, does not pressure (Israeli) occupation to reopen the other crossings. Hamas didn’t want the deployment of the EU monitors in the same way as it was before since the agreement left a hand for Israel on the crossing throughout the monitors.

Hamas said that since the EU monitors live in Israel, the Israeli Army could close the crossing by preventing the monitors from traveling to the border. The deal said the crossing could not be run without the existence of the EU monitors.Meanwhile, Palestine Liberation Organization Executive Committee Secretary-General Yasser Abed Rabbo said that the Palestinian Authority doesn’t insist on an international role in running Gaza crossings or oppose the proposal of reopening the crossings away from international presence. However, Abed Rabbo said the Palestinian leadership prefers to reopen Rafah crossing according to US-brokered deal.

Earlier, Blair told The Times newspaper in London that the international community needed to match Hamas’ clever strategy to secure a peace deal, in an interview published yesterday. The former British prime minister, who remains confident of striking a peace deal by 2009, said a situation must be engineered whereby there is everything to gain if Hamas stops its rocket attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip.Blair said the United States was ramping up its involvement in trying to resolve the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians as US President George W. Bush’s term in office runs out. Hamas has a clever strategy, which is why I keep saying we need a clever strategy as well, which helps the people, isolates the extremists and points out the fact that if at any point in time the rockets stop, the whole situation will be transformed, Blair said.This is a deal that could definitely be done, and it could definitely be done this year, Blair said.
