BILDERBERG OWNS OBAMA

WORLD GOVERNMENT

DANIEL 7:23-25
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

DANIEL 12:4,1
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

REVELATION 13:1-3,7,8,12,16-18
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

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

We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.James Paul Warburg appearing before the Senate on 7th February 1950

Like a famous WWII Belgian General,Paul Henry Spock said in 1957:We need no commission, we have already too many. What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.


THE TREATY IS THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT TREATY THE BILDERBERGS WANT OBAMA TO GET AMERICA RATIFIED BY 2011 IN SECRET SNEAK THROUGH TACTICS TO RELEAVE AMERICA OF IT RIGHTS IN COURTS.THIS TREATY I BELIEVE WILL BE PASSED IN SECRET AS IT IS A ROME TREATY AND SINCE THE EU IS REVIVED ROME AND WILL CONTROL THE LAWS OF THE LAND WORLDWDE,I BELIEVE THESE WORLD ORDER LUNATICS WILL PASS THIS BILL.

Bush Must Unsign the ICC Treaty Now G. Russell Evans
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard (Ret.)Monday, April 22, 2002


President Bush is doing a good job; most people say so. Two things, however, are wrong, and most people, once they have the facts, will agree they are wrong. These people need to speak up now – loud and clear.The first is the blanket amnesty for a half-million illegal Mexican immigrants, an obvious do-good favor for Bush buddy Vicente Fox, president of Mexico. This shocking move in the wake of the Sept. 11 assaults swells the mass of illegals, probably including terrorists, and jumps these lawbreakers ahead of millions legally in line and waiting for years. This is dangerous and unfair.The second wrong is the creeping authority of the World Court – the United Nations-sponsored International Criminal Court that, unless checked, will someday have American sailors, soldiers and Marines in the dock, stripped of their constitutional rights and at the mercy of foreign judges, some of whom flat-out hate America.

ICC Soon in Force

On April 11 in Rome, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan happily announced that 10 more nations had just ratified the ICC Treaty and that the court would be in full force in the spring.A total of 66 nations had approved – six more than the required 60. Oh happy day for the globalists! The United States has not ratified this treaty, nor did China and Russia. President Clinton made a grandstand play at the deadline hour, midnight Dec. 31, 2000, by sending Assistant Secretary of State David Scheffer to the 32nd floor of the New York U.N. Headquarters Building to sign the document.

Court Claims Jurisdiction

This U.N. International Criminal Court now claims jurisdiction over U.S. citizens, including our military – and recognizes no U.S. constitutional rights, jury trial, bail or appeal. This is preposterous, to say the least – and also shows the arrogance of these U.N. internationalist lawyers, who know and scoff at the treaty-ratifying procedure in the United States: The president ratifies treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate, provided two-thirds concur (Article II, Section 2, U.S. Constitution). In a test vote in the Senate, the ICC Treaty was rejected, 99-0.U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for war crimes issues Pierre Prosper emphasized, The United States is not and will not be part of the ICC.That's tough talk that must be backed up with immediate action by President Bush: He must unsign the ICC Treaty. Just how to unsign is not clear, but an official U.S. document to the United Nations to remove the signature of the U.S. representative from the ICC Treaty should suffice – as firm, final and forever, whether accepted by the United Nations or not – that the USA is out of there.It is inconceivable that Bush, or any future American president, would ever submit the ICC Treaty to the Senate for approval. It would be defeated. Even so, the grasping, insulting integrationists are claiming jurisdiction over Americans, based on the signing.

Without U.S. Leadership

Boasted William Pace of the International Coalition, The world is about to show themselves and the world that they can start a major organization without U.S. political and financial leadership.Chances are, though, that they'd not get very far without the U.S. taxpayers. U.S. political leaders are too smart to alienate voters on such fundamental U.S. constitutional rights. Nonetheless, the globalists are stepping out, now that they have their 60 required votes. Says Kofi Annan,The world has now moved into a system of international relations in which human rights are much more important than sovereignty.An astonishing statement, and one that illuminates the thinking of Annan for a despotic world government.Just as shocking is the statement by a man who suffered under tyrannical communism, former Czech President Vaclav Havel, who calls the invasion of Yugoslavia an important precedent in which state sovereignty must inevitably dissolve.The ICC could have Henry Kissinger in the dock for his interventions in Chile, France and Argentina when he was secretary of state in the 1970s; also Bill Clinton for bombing civilians in Yugoslavia; also George W. Bush for bombing Afghanistan in an undeclared war; also American service members for collateral damage inflicted when fighting to save us from terrorists.

Helms to the Rescue

Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., has introduced the Servicemembers Protection Act (S 857), now languishing in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, whose chairman, Joe Biden, D-Del., likes the ICC concept and refuses to expedite this bill to save U.S. military and civilian officials from the ambitious ICC.A companion bill (HR 1794) by Rep. Torn DeLay, R-Texas, is stuck in the House International Relations Committee under Chairman Henry J. Hyde, R-Ill.Both bills have the exact same language. When passed, they would go straight to the president for immediate action and would provide the following: Cut off U.S. military aid to any country that ratified the ICC Treaty.

Prohibit U.S. forces from participating in U.N. operations, unless immunized from ICC jurisdiction by a specific U.N. resolution.Authorize the president to take any action necessary and appropriate to free Americans from ICC captivity.

Why ICC Is So Popular
So, why would an International Criminal Court be so popular with 66 nations of the world – nations willing to surrender their freedoms and sovereignty to a world organization? Even the 17 members of the European Union (EU)? Most of these nations have never tasted the exhilaration of the freedoms and independence that Americans have. Perhaps many want to get back at the Colossus of the North (the U.S.) with their super Colossus of the world (the U.N.). This may be the inbred attitude in particular of the EU (Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, etc.) – nations that have never experienced American-style freedoms and prosperity. Maybe they secretly want to stick it to us, i.e., force the haughty Americanos into a world organization and be cut to size.Americans do not have to accept this creeping ICC, which its instigators want to operate for a while without upsetting us, as the ICC concept moves quietly along, just as the Genocide Convention did for many years before being ratified. That's their plan for the ICC.President Bush took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.The time has come to prove it – emphatically and precisely – with official notification to the United Nations that the United States hereby unsigns the ICC Treaty – or whatever fancy diplomatic sweet talk will let the globalists know that America is having no part of their World Court. Period! Capt. Evans is a columnist and the author of five books, including Death Knell of the Panama Canal,a study of the Chinese takeover of the canal. Capt. Evans' columns are distributed by the Americanism Educational League of Buena Park, Calif. He lives in Norfolk, Va.

Dutch Prime Minister Grilled Over Bilderberg Following Prison Planet Article
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Friday, May 15, 2009


A Dutch Member of Parliament has formally petitioned Prime Minister Jan-Peter Balkenende and his European Affairs Minister Frans Timmermans concerning their involvement with the Bilderberg Group, citing an article released by Prison Planet last week.In his web log on May 13, Member of Parliament of the Socialist Party, Harry van Bommel, refers to, and footnotes, (Paul Joseph) Watson’s article on information confided to Bilderberg researcher Daniel Estulin concerning the agenda of the secretive meeting,writes Jurriaan Maessen.Prime Minister Balkenende attended the Bilderberg Group conference in Washington DC last year, before meeting with President Bush, along with Queen Beatrix and her son William-Alexander. Queen Beatrix is a regular attendee of the elitist confab and was photographed by our reporters arriving at Bilderberg last year.In our original May 6 article, we reported on Bilderberg’s leaked agenda for 2009, which according to investigative journalist Estulin was weighted heavily around the economy and whether Bilderberg would pursue, Either a prolonged, agonizing depression that dooms the world to decades of stagnation, decline and poverty … or an intense-but-shorter depression that paves the way for a new sustainable economic world order, with less sovereignty but more efficiency.The agenda also spoke of efforts to be made to discredit anti-EU activists in anticipation of another Irish referendum on the Lisbon Treaty later this year.

According to Estulin, One of their concerns is addressing and neutralizing the anti-Lisbon treaty movement called Libertas led by Declan Ganley. One of the Bilderberger planned moves is to use a whispering campaign in the US media suggesting that Ganley is being funded by arms dealers in the US linked to the US military.

Dutch Member of Parliament Henry van Bommel.

In his written request, van Bommel demands answers on the Dutch cabinet’s position regarding Bilderberg as well as a clarification of their stance on the purported plans to discredit Ganley.According to Maessen’s translation, van Bommel writes, From the leaked agenda we learn that there will be discussed how to deal with the anti-Lisbon movement Libertas through a slander campaign against its leader Declan Ganley. It remains a serious setback for the elite, not just the European elite, that the treaty has still not been ratified’, Van Bommel explains. They wish for a more powerful European Union, even it is realised through undemocratic games. Considering the regularly attendance of our royal house and ministers, I have asked Prime Minister Balkenende and Minister for European Affairs Timmermans to have the political participants withstand such a slander campaign.Van Bommel follows this with a full list of questions for Balkenende and Timmermans.

1- Are you aware that from May 14 to 17 2009 in Vouliagmeni, Greece, the Bilderberg conference is gathering?
2- Is it correct that Queen Beatrix will attend?
3- Are there members of the cabinet who will participate in the conference? If so, which members?
4- Is there a consensus in the cabinet on the participation of this conference or is this left to individual members? Is there deliberation between the Prime Minister and the queen in regards to participation?
5- Will you make public the items that will be discussed as well as a list of the participants? If not, why not?
6- Is it correct that the Lisbon-treaty will be prominent on the agenda of this Bilderberg-conference?
7- Are you familiar with the report that speaks of the planned discrediting of anti-Lisbon movement Libertas with the help of a slander campaign against its leader Declan Ganley? Are you willing to request of Queen Beatrix or political participants from the Netherlands to withstand any such slander campaign? This is another example of how the Internet can pierce through the international media blackout on Bilderberg and lead to hard questions being asked of world leaders in major European parliaments like the Netherlands.We wait with anticipation as to whether or not the Dutch Prime Minister will be forced to answer van Bommel’s questions regarding his involvement with Bilderberg. Previous questions in the British House of Commons directed towards MP’s as well as former Prime Minister Tony Blair have led to little more than half-truths and lies.In 1999, responding to a question about if he planned to attend the Bilderberg meeting in Portugal that year, Tony Blair claimed that, There is no formal representation by the UK Government, at Bilderberg Group meetings despite the fact that MP’s for both major political parties in Britain routinely attend Bilderberg.

Blair brazenly lied in front of Parliament again in October 2006 when, in response to a question regarding Bilderberg by MP Norman Baker, he stated, I have not attended any such meetings,despite the fact that he attended the 1993 Bilderberg meeting in Greece.A full list of question regarding Bilderberg asked in the House of Commons can be found via this link.If the Member of Parliament will receive any answers from the Prime Minister remains to be seen. But it is an encouraging sign that some in the political playing field will take their jobs seriously and do what every public servant should do when confronted with a plethora of the most powerful people in the world meeting in secret with no questions asked,writes Maessen.

Bilderberg Reported In Portuguese News
Infowars Friday, May 15, 2009


Ferreira Leite in Greece on invitation of Bilderberg group
Translated from http://diariodigital.sapo.pt/news.asp?section_id=12&id_news=387941

The president of PSD (Social Democrat Party), Manuela Ferreira Leite, sets of to Greece today to participate as guest at the annual Bilderberg group conference, as was told to news agency Lusa by a social-democrat source.The president of PSD returns to Portugal on Saturday, the same source said.The Bilderberg group has met annually since 1954.Their meetings are private and restricted to anyone else but guests, and have the participation of personalities with links to politics and business.One quick note: PSD (center-right) is the second biggest opposition party in Portugal. PS (center-left) holds the executive right now. Legislative elections, for the executive and for Parliament, will be held this year. PSD and MF Leite have been a very weak opposition to PS, and their approval ratings are terrible.It is not believable, in this point of time, that PSD or Leite hold any chance whatsoever to win any kind of election in Portugal. So her presence at Bilderberg must be justified by some other reason than any one linked to the prospect of her winning the next election.So, at this point in time, I would think she is there for another reason than some election-related purpose. I will get back to you if I discover something else on this subject in the Portuguese media.

Google CEO In Attendance At Bilderberg 2009? Progenitor of don’t be evil slogan apparently doesn’t think it’s evil to take orders from a shadowy undemocratic power elite meeting in secret to plot the future of the world around their own self-serving interests Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Thursday, May 14, 2009

One notable attendee at last year’s Bilderberg Group meeting amidst the gaggle of old industrialists, bankers and aspiring globalist politicians was Google CEO Eric Schmidt, one of the progenitors of the company’s slogan Don’t Be Evil.Apparently, Schmidt doesn’t consider it evil to take his orders from the most undemocratic, crony and secretive organization on the planet.Whether Schmidt makes his way to the 2009 elitist gathering at the Nafsika Astir Palace in Vouliagmeni Greece remains to be seen, but a Google representative is likely to take his place if Schmidt can’t make it.Schmidt’s attendance is all the more revealing in light of recent censorship efforts against Alex Jones led by You Tube, which is owned by Google.As noted by a Haaretz report today, Schmidt took his place at last year’s Washington DC confab alongside people like Henry Kissinger, Condoleezza Rice and World Bank President Robert Zoellick.In one of the more balanced reports concerning the meeting so far, the Haaretz article states, Mainstream press coverage of the Bilderberg meeting has grown, largely due to the internet. This year’s conference may have been covered by British broadsheets, but don’t expect to see any coverage from U.S. news outlets such as The Wall Street Journal or the Washington Post - they will most likely be at the conference.No corporate U.S. news outlet has dared report on Bilderberg 2009 thus far. After all, over a hundred global powerbrokers, including the titans of government, industry, banking and the media, meeting in secret behind closed doors to plan the fate of the world really has no importance whatsoever in comparison with finding out who got axed from American Idol, - does it?

Google crashes around the world,Website re-emerges with fresh news videos hosted by YouTube May 14, 2009 1:37 pm Eastern By Chelsea Schilling 2009 WorldNetDaily

Google services were completely wiped out or running very slowly for many people and businesses around the world today, but the website has re-emerged with fresh news videos hosted by YouTube. In an outage this morning, thousands of websites including WND were temporarily locked up, due to Google's malfunctioning ads.Hundreds of users Twittered about their inability to access Google or the website taking as long as two minutes to respond, leading many to grow concerned about how dependent they have come to be on the single entity. The Internet dies without Google. Can't get to my bank Web site because it's waiting on google-analytics.com.This is made of lame,Twitter user Tadiera said. Hundreds of people report Google-related services such as Google Analytics, Gmail, FriendConnect, AdWords, Docs, YouTube, Google Reader, Blogger, Google Maps, and Google Apps were completely unavailable. Most of the outage reports were from American users, though some European and Asian users experienced troubles.

As of 9 a.m. Pacific, many users began reporting that Google services began to work properly.According to CBS' CNET News, when Google News re-emerged, it featured YouTube news videos with the video-sharing website's logo.Many of the videos are said to be from professional sources such as the Associated Press, France 24, United Press International and WIVB in Buffalo, N.Y. Several countries have experienced packet losses, or loss of data traveling across computer networks. Data was lost in the U.S., Australia, France, Italy, the U.K., China, Brazil, the Netherlands, Russia and other locations, and packet losses are still rotating. Bloggers have reported experiencing troubles with Google in recent weeks, claiming their searches often grind to a halt, and it sometimes takes minutes to connect to the website. A Google spokesman told WND,The issue affecting some Google services has been resolved. We're sorry for the inconvenience, and we'll share more details soon.Then Senior Vice President of Google Operations Urs Hoelzle posted the following message to the Google blog:Imagine if you were trying to fly from New York to San Francisco, but your plane was routed through an airport in Asia. And a bunch of other planes were sent that way too, so your flight was backed up and your journey took much longer than expected. That's basically what happened to some of our users today for about an hour, starting at 7:48 a.m. Pacific time.An error in one of our systems caused us to direct some of our web traffic through Asia, which created a traffic jam. As a result, about 14% of our users experienced slow services or even interruptions. We've been working hard to make our services ultrafast and always on,so it's especially embarrassing when a glitch like this one happens. We're very sorry that it happened, and you can be sure that we'll be working even harder to make sure that a similar problem won't happen again. All planes are now back on schedule.

Tucker: Bilderberg Owns Obama James P. Tucker Jr.American Free Press
Friday, May 15, 2009


Bilderberg luminaries all appeared grim-faced as they stepped from their limos on to the grounds of the Nafsika Astir Palace Hotel in Vouliagmeni, Greece. They arrived from the airport in nearby Athens, escorted by police with sirens blaring. The world economy is at the top of the Bilderberg agenda. Bilderberg will debate how to exploit the global recession and fabrications about swine flu to advance its world government goals. Bilderberg’s agenda has expanded, even as public awareness has grown.Sources within Bilderberg said President Obama will be instructed to make another effort to get the United States to sign on to the International Criminal Court. The ICC treaty, if ratified by the Senate, would be superior to the Constitution, able to overrule Congress and the Supreme Court and impose world law on America.Bilderberg leaders said they understood the effort would have to be handled with subtle delicacy because of the Senate’s traditional hostility to joining the ICC.

Former President Bill Clinton, who attended Bilderberg as the obscure governor of Arkansas in 1991 and was elected president in 1992, OK’d the ICC treaty, even though a test vote showed more than 90 senators objecting to the treaty, including world government advocates who were scared off by patriotic voters made aware of the perils by The Spotlight, the inspiration for AMERICAN FREE PRESS. So Clinton dared not submit the ICC treaty for ratification, and was forced to wait for a wind change in politics.

BILDERBERG OWNS OBAMA

But Bilderberg owns President Obama, who sees himself as a citizen of the world. He will be sweet-talking Senate supporters who are afraid to back the treaty. He will be hoping for an even more left-wing Senate after the 2010 election, His goal, as dictated by Bilderberg, is to persuade the new Senate (to be seated in January 2010), to ratify the ICC treaty late on a Saturday night, too late for the Sunday papers or to make changes in the Sunday TV talkies.You will not read of this in the Bilderberg-controlled Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times or hear about it on network news broadcasts.

LIKE JIM TUCKER MENTIONED YESTERDAY TO ALEX JONES THE SECURITY IS THE WORST EVER AT BILDERBERG IN GREECE AS THEY KNOW THE WORLDS PEOPLE ARE CATCHING ON TO THEIR EVIL,SATANIC,OCCULT PRACTICES TO CONTROL THE FREE CITIZENS OF THE WORLD.

Bilderberg: One mention of Sylvester McCoy and it all kicks offCharlie Skelton is menaced by police with guns (and mirrors on sticks) in his third dispatch from (near) the Bilderberg summit of the global elite,Charlie Skelton guardian.co.uk, Thursday 14 May 2009 13.39 BST

No fotografia - the snap of a bemulleted Greek copper that landed Charlie Skelton in police custody at Bilderberg. Photograph: Charlie Skelton/Guardian.You know your day's gone badly when it ends with you being shouted at in a Greek police station.It wasn't meant to end this way. I'd gone for a gentle sunset walk, up by the Bilderberg hotel, to relax before the big opening day of the elite globalist shindig, watch Phoebus plunge headlong into the western sea, and (yes) maybe sneak a couple of short-lens pictures of the mounting security.Opposite the hotel gates I took a casual photo out over the bay, limbering up to swivel round and snap off some naturalistic armed guard having fag and chatting up policewoman sort of shots. A plainclothes officer jogged across the road and got in my face.No photos.Of the sea? Give me your camera.
I don't understand.Passport.I've got my Oyster card.Passport.Driving licence? He takes my licence. A group of policemen have sauntered over, and mutter Greekly about the enormous threat to the smooth running of Bilderberg I seem to represent.What is this? asks one of the local militia. He takes my notebook. Opens it at random.

What are you writing? What here?

He points to an old 8 Out of 10 Cats joke (well, barely) about what would happen if we had a female Doctor Who. He jabs at it, proof, in black and white, of my status as an agitator. I read it out: I'm not saying we've already had a female Doctor Who, but Sylvester McCoy put cracks in the glass ceiling.Who is this? Syl... Syl...Sylvester McCoy.A friend of yours? He is staying here? I bite back telling them that Sylvester McCoy is a noted anti-globalist freedom fighter who is here to lead the people's revolt against Bilderberg's liberty-stripping agenda. It's nothing. Can I have my book back? They confer. An imp in my brain tells my hand to reach for my camera and take a photo. Click. Whir. At which point, on a gorgeous May evening on the Athens Riviera, began one of the more stressful hours of my life. Hands went to holsters.

NO PHOTOS!HE TAKE FOTOGRAFIA!NO FOTOGRAFIA!

Over came the man with the machine gun. Over came the man with the special mirror-on-a-stick for car bombs. It was the first time in my life, and hopefully the last, that I've been intimidated by a mirror on a stick. They circled round me. One of them, the one in the photo with one hand up and the other on his pistol, kept prodding me in the shoulder, and shouting: Give the camera! Just give the camera! All around me: Delete! Delete photos! followed by a lame tug of war for the camera with no great self-belief on either side, which I won. Camera back in pocket.Then it became: Get in the car! Get in the car!I wasn't about to get in the car. I remember saying: One of you has a machine gun, you're shouting at me, I don't understand why, I took one photograph, this all seems a bit strange. What's going on here? One of the nicer policemen, who looked a bit like the short guy from LA Law, the one married to Jill Eikenberry (note to self, update this reference), took me aside.Very important people coming. Very important. No photograph. Please get in car, we take details, put in computer, you can go.I complained, reasonably I think, that they could simply phone my details through to the station, and check that I wasn't wanted on three continents for acts of terror, but they were having none of it. Prod, prod, prod. Eventually I got in the car. I had to.They drove me to the police station. Other cars followed. At the station, officers gathered from all quarters. They'd sniffed an incident. A dozen of them stood round me. The Greek chorus reached full voice: Give the camera! Delete photos! You understand?!I hated my hands for trembling when I wrote down my father's name so they could look me up on computer. But at least I got a chuckle hearing them try and pronounce Melvyn.

One of the policewomen smiled.Delete photos and you can go, no trouble.She looked like Christina Aguilera's slightly butch cousin and I fell on her smile with a thirst. Nearly gave her the camera. Understood in a flash the whole good cop, bad cop thing. Kept my camera in my pocket. Smiled back.I just want you to tell me if I've broken the law, and if so, are you arresting me? God, I sound like a clich̩ of a protester. Oh god, I'm a protester. What are my rights here? Charge me or release me! is what I didn't shout. I sat quietly and tried to still my hands in my lap. I smiled at Christina. I was winning.Suddenly, a you can go from the sergeant at the computer. I went. I had my camera. I had my photo. I was free. It was the end of Midnight Express.

PREMEDITATED MERGER Another sign of integrated North America,Electronic system registers truckers in U.S., Canada May 15, 2009 1:00 am Eastern
By Jerome R. Corsi 2009 WorldNetDaily


Signs showing an integrated North America have begun showing up on U.S. Interstate highways for NORPASS, a new electronic system that allows participating truckers in Canada and the U.S. to by-pass roadside weigh stations through the use of a transponder mounted on the windshield. The NORPASS website describes the organization as a partnership of state and provincial agencies and trucking industry representatives who are committed to promoting safe and efficient trucking throughout North America.Truckers that register to participate in NORPASS receive a small transponder that signals to a computer in participating weigh stations. As the participating truck approaches the NORPASS weigh station, a roadside reader detects the transponder and a computer in the weigh station checks the truck's credentials.

If the truck is certified, the NORPASS transponder signals a green light, allowing the driver to bypass the station. If a problem is detected, a red light flashing on the transponder indicates a need for the truck to stop and be checked. Participating NORPASS truckers are charged $45 to purchase a windshield transponder directly from NORPASS.Melanie Coon, a spokesperson for the Washington Department of Transportation, or WaDOT, told WND the purpose of the system is to contribute to the state's efforts to introduce automated intelligence systems to assist trucks and people in crossing the U.S.-Canadian border more efficiently.Along with Washington, states participating in NORPASS include Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, South Dakota, New York, Connecticut, Kentucky and North Carolina. Two Canadian provinces, British Columbia and Quebec, are NORPASS participants.A map on the NORPASS website indicates NORPASS weigh station by-passing is also compatible with the transponders issued by BestPass, another U.S.-Canadian truck transponder system.While the NORPASS road sign and corporate emblem clearly portray North America – including Canada, the United States and Mexico – NORPASS currently has no Mexican states participating.

Coon could not tell WND why no Mexican states were included in the program. Aves Thompson, the executive director of the Alaska Trucking Association, serves as the president of NORPASS.In a telephone interview with WND, Thompson could not think of any reason why Mexican states were not included in the program, other than that NORPASS was currently focusing on recruiting new participants in U.S. states and Canadian provinces contiguous to current NORPASS members. Thompson said NORPASS was a private, not-for-profit organization that is not a part of any state or federal government organization.The goal of NORPASS is to provide for safe, legal and efficient transport of freight,Thompson said.Electronic by-pass in systems like NORPASS allow trucks to by-pass weigh stations more quickly and allow the law enforcement personnel to focus on the bad actors.Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. appreciate any electronic screening that separates out safe and legal trucks from trucks that need more attention,he stressed.We are doing outreach to other states and provinces that are upgrading their capabilities to conduct electronic screening of vehicles,Anne Ford, the WaDOT commercial vehicles services administrator, told WND.Each state and province has their own electronic screening system,Ford said.As the truck approaches the weigh station in Washington state, the transponder signal is read against the WaDOT database to check the information related to the vehicle. The trucks are supposed to be in the right lane when they approach a weigh station. In the right lane WaDOT has weigh in-motion scales built in the roadway that can electronically weigh the vehicle at freeway speeds.Ford added that at the national level,there is a database called SAFER that is part of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration that some states use to first gather the vehicle data. From SAFER, the data is then sent out to other NORPASS participating states.

SAFER, which stands for Safety and Fitness Electronic Records,collects a wide range of data on commercial vehicles, including inspection reports, crash reports and enforcement actions. WaDOT sends data for a Washington state vehicle registered with a transponder in NORPASS to the SAFER system in Washington, D.C. From the nation's capital, the vehicle data is then sent to other states for electronic screening, whether or not they are NORPASS participating members, Ford explained to WND. The WaDOT website indicates that as of April 1, the Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks, or CVISN, program was providing electronic screening at 11 weigh stations in Washington state to 8,647 trucking companies with 61,373 trucks equipped with transponders.The NORPASS website includes downloads of NORPASS brochures in both French and Spanish.WaDOT is listed on the NORPASS website as the system's Western Service Center.

FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU Palestinians use pope to wage propaganda ,Report accuses them of hijacking pontiff's visit for political gain May 14, 2009 11:25 pm Eastern By Aaron Klein 2009 WorldNetDaily

JERUSALEM – The Palestinian Authority exploited Pope Benedict XVI's visit here this week for political gain and to wage propaganda attacks against Israel, particularly regarding sovereignty over Jerusalem, according to a study released yesterday. The PA has exploited Benedict's visit to Israel ... especially the sensitive [issue] of sovereignty over Jerusalem. According to PA-affiliated spokesmen, Israel's presence in eastern Jerusalem does not give it sovereignty or any other rights,states a report by the Terrorism and Information Center at Israel's Center for Special Studies.

Reuven Erlich, the center's director, said the purported exploitation by the PA extended to the pope's tour of Bethlehem yesterday. The pope was deliberately paraded in front of the security barrier to make a non-issue into an issue. Also [PA President] Mahmoud Abbas used his speech alongside the pope for pure propaganda purposes,said Erlich.The center's study highlighted multiple aspects of Benedict's visit that were allegedly seized upon by the PA, including the pope's drive through eastern sections of Jerusalem, which the Palestinians claim for a state. States the study: [The PA] set up a media center alternative to that provided by the Israeli Government Press Office. They also criticized the hanging of Israeli flags along the routes taken by the pope to the eastern part of the city.The study documented a public incident during a meeting between the pope and representatives of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths in which the Palestinian representative present interrupted the media-saturated event to deliver a rant against Israel. Chief Palestinian Justice Taysir Tamimi screamed out in a rising voice that Israel destroys Palestinian cities and establishes settlements on Palestinian land.Tamimi said Jerusalem will remain the capital of a Palestinian state. He pleaded with the pope to fight for a just peace for a Palestinian state and for Israel to stop killing women and children and destroying mosques as she did in Gaza.The Vatican's spokesman condemned Tamimi's statements. Still, the accusations in such as public forum garnered international media attention.

In a previous in-person WND interview with Tamimia,the Palestinian cleric denied the Jewish temples ever existed and claimed there is no Jewish historic connection to Jerusalem. He also argued the Torah was falsified while biblical patriarchs and matriarchs really were prophets for Islam. Erlich pointed to Benedict's visit to Bethlehem as a strong example of the PA's use of the pope to score propaganda points. The pope stood beside Abbas as the Palestinian leader pointed to a concrete separation barrier in Bethlehem and blamed that barrier, as well as Israeli occupation,for the plight of Christians. In this Holy Land, the occupation still continues building separation walls,Abbas said.Instead of building the bridge that can link us, they are using the force of occupation to force Muslims and Christians to emigrate.Bethlehem, however, is not surrounded by any wall. Israel built a fence in 2002 in the area where northern Bethlehem interfaces with Jerusalem. A tiny segment of the barrier, facing a major Israeli roadway, is a concrete wall that Israel says is meant to prevent gunmen from shooting at Israeli motorists. The PA strategically positioned the pope yesterday to make statements alongside the one segment of the barrier that is a wall. The fence was constructed after the outbreak of the Palestinian intifada, or terror war, launched after the late PLO leader Yasser Arafat turned down an Israeli offer of a Palestinian state, instead returning to the Middle East to liberate Palestine with violence. Scores of deadly suicide bombings and shooting attacks against Israelis were planned in Bethlehem and carried out by Bethlehem-area terrorists, including Abbas' Fatah organization. At one point during the period of just 30 days in 2002, at least 14 shootings were perpetuated by Bethlehem cells of Fatah's Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terrorists, killing two Israelis and wounding six.

Many times Muslim gunmen in the Bethlehem area reportedly took positions in civilian homes in the hilltops of Christian Beit Jala, which straddles Bethlehem. Beit Jala afforded the terrorists a clear firing line at southern sections of Jerusalem and at a major Israeli highway down below, drawing Israeli military raids and the eventual building of the security barrier there. Abbas' claim that the barrier is driving away Christians is contradicted by demographic fact. Israel built the barrier five years ago. But Bethlehem's Christian population started to drastically decline in 1995, the very year Arafat's Palestinian Authority took over the holy Christian city in line with the U.S.-backed Oslo Accords. Bethlehem consisted of upwards of 80 percent Christians when Israel was founded in 1948, but since Arafat got his hands on it, the city's Christian population dove to its current 23 percent. That statistic is considered generous since it includes the satellite towns of Beit Sahour and Beit Jala. Some estimates place Bethlehem's actual Christian population as low as 12 percent, with hundreds of Christians leaving every year. As soon as he took over Bethlehem, Arafat unilaterally fired the city's Christian politicians and replaced them with Muslim cronies. He appointed a Muslim governor, Muhammed Rashad A-Jabar and unilaterally disbanded Bethlehem's city council, which had nine Christians and two Muslims, reducing the number of Christians councilors to a 50-50 split. Arafat then converted a Greek Orthodox monastery next to the Church of Nativity, the believed birthplace of Jesus, into his official Bethlehem residence. After the Palestinians gained the territory, reports of Christian intimidation by Muslims began to surface.

Christian leaders and residents in Bethlehem told WND they face an atmosphere of regular hostility. They said Palestinian armed groups stir tension by holding militant demonstrations and marches in the streets. They spoke of instances in which Christian shopkeepers' stores were ransacked and Christian homes attacked. In the past, they said, Palestinian gunmen fired at Israelis from Christian hilltop communities, drawing Israeli anti-terror raids to their towns. In 2002, dozens of terrorists holed up inside the Church of the Nativity for 39 days while fleeing a massive Israeli anti-terror operation. Israel surrounded the church area but refused to storm the structure. Gunmen inside included wanted senior Hamas, Tanzim and Brigades terrorists reportedly involved in suicide bombings and shooting attacks. More than 200 nuns and priests were trapped in the church after Israeli hostage negotiators failed to secure their release. Some Christian leaders said one of the most significant problems facing Christians in Bethlehem is the rampant confiscation of land by Muslim gangs. There are many cases where Christians have their land stolen by the [Muslim] mafia,said Samir Qumsiyeh, a Bethlehem Christian leader and owner of the Beit Sahour-based private Al-Mahd (Nativity) TV station. It is a regular phenomenon in Bethlehem. They go to a poor Christian person with a forged power of attorney document, then they say we have papers proving you're living on our land. If you confront them, many times the Christian is beaten. You can't do anything about it. The Christian loses, and he runs away,Qumsiyeh told WND, speaking from his hilltop television station during an interview last year. Qumsiyeh himself said he was targeted by Islamic gangs and his home was firebombed after he returned from a trip abroad during which he gave public speeches outlining the plight of Bethlehem's Christian population.

One Christian Bethlehem resident told WND her friend recently fled Bethlehem after being accused by Muslims of selling property to Jews, a crime punishable by death in some Palestinian cities. A good deal of the intimidation, she added, comes from gunmen associated with Abbas' Fatah organization. A February 2007 Jerusalem Post article cited the case of Faud and Georgette Lama, Christian residents of Bethlehem who said their land was stolen by local Muslims. But hen they tried to do something about it, Faud was beaten by gunmen. One religious novelty-store owner recently told WND Muslim gangs regularly deface Christian property. We are harassed, but you wouldn't know the truth,he said.No one says anything publicly about the Muslims. This is why Christians are running away.

Updated May 15, 2009 3:27 Netanyahu: Reject anti-Israel rhetoric
By JPOST.COM AND AP


Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Thursday appealed to Pope Benedict XVI to make his voice heard and use his moral authority to condemn the harsh anti-Israel rhetoric voiced by Iran's hard-line president.Netanyahu urges Pope to reject Iran's anti-Israel rhetoric

The two men met privately for about 15 minutes, sharing their views about the Middle East.I think we found in him an attentive ear,Netanyahu said. The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the talks centered on how the peace process can be advanced.Speaking to Israel media afterward, Netanyahu made no mention of the Palestinians, saying he had appealed to the pontiff to speak out against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The Iranian leader has repeatedly called for Israel's destruction and questioned whether the Holocaust in which 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis, took place.I asked him, as a moral figure, to make his voice heard loud and continuously against the declarations coming from Iran of their intention to destroy Israel. I told him it cannot be that at the beginning of the 21st century there is a state which says it is going to destroy the Jewish state, there is no aggressive voice being heard condemning this,Netanyahu said. Netanyahu said he was pleased with the pope's response.He said that he condemns all instances of anti-Semitism and hate against the state of Israel - against humanity as a whole - but in this case against Israel.The meeting came a day after the pope made an emotional appeal in the West Bank for the establishment of an independent Palestinian homeland -a concept Netanyahu has not yet publicly endorsed, preferring instead to tout his idea of strengthening the Palestinian economy first. The men appeared to exchange pleasantries before reporters were ushered out of the room to allow them to speak privately.

Before the meeting, Vatican spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi said the meeting would be key because personal contact is always very important.Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, said the pope was very happy with the outcome of the trip, which began Monday, and that all the important meetings were very positive.He said the main goal was peace, peace, peace,adding that he felt the pope had listened to all sides, acting like a bridge between the various positions.

GOD PROTECTS ISRAEL AND IN THE END WE WILL SEE WHOS WEARING THE PIGS BLOOD ARABS,ISLAM.5/6TH OF THE RUSSIAN ARAB,MUSLIM BODIES WILL BE LYING ON THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL TO BE EATIN BY THE MIGRATING BIRDS IN THE SPRING OF THE YEAR IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE FOR HATING ISRAELIS AND ISRAEL LIKE THEY DO.

PMW: Jordanian Media Report Jews Descend from Pigs
by Hana Levi Julian MAY 14,09


(IsraelNN.com) Jordanian media last week quoted Egyptian clerics who declared that Jews are the descendants of pigs -- the only point of debate was whether they are direct descendants or not.According to a report broadcast May 10 on the Al-Moheed Arab News Network and translated by the media watchdog group, Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), pigs in our time have their origins in Jews who angered Allah... and it is obligatory to kill and slaughter them.The report quoted Sheikh Ahmed Ali Othman, supervisor of the Da'awa (Islamic Indoctrination) of the Egyptian Waqf (Authority of Islamic Holy Places), and head of its slaughtering division. Othman based his ruling on a Koranic verse (Koran sura 5, verse 60) that refers to those that Allah (G-d) has cursed and made into monkeys and pigs, and who have served abominations. Their place is worst of all, and their deviation is the greatest of all... He added that this verse referred to the nation of the descendants of the prohet Moses.

An article published May 9 in the Jordanian newspaper Al-Hakika al-Dawliya also quoted the Egyptian cleric: I personally tend towards the view that the pigs that exist now have their origins with the Jews, and therefore their consumption is forbidden...A second view, expressed by sheikh Ali Abu Al-Hassan, head of the Fatwa Committee (which issues rulings) at Al-Azhar [Sunni Islamic] University, does not draw a relationship between today's pigs and Jews.Al-Hassan explained when Allah punishes a group of people, He punishes only them. When Allah grew angry with the nation of Moses, He turned them into pigs and monkeys as an extraordinary punishment... but they died without leaving descendants.

Potent messages as Pope ends Holy Land pilgrimage By Douglas Hamilton MAY 15,09

JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Pope Benedict made a personal and potent denunciation of the Holocaust on Friday, vowing to Israelis that the brutal extermination of Jews by the godless Nazi regime would never be forgotten or denied.His language appeared to lift Jewish dismay over earlier remarks about the murder of six million Jews by his fellow Germans, which to Israelis had sounded chilly and impersonal.His words were welcomed by Holocaust memorial chairman Avner Shalev who said they strengthen the Pope's message to the world about the importance of remembering the events of the Holocaust and who rated the visit a very positive and significant event.Ending a Holy Land pilgrimage which he said made powerful impressions of hope and sadness, the 82-year-old pontiff also appealed for peace between Israelis and Palestinians so each can live in their own state, as trustful neighbors in security.One of the saddest sights for me during my visit to these lands was the wall, he said of the high barrier that Israel erected between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, the Palestinian town that Christians believe was the birthplace of Jesus.As I passed alongside it, I prayed for a future in which the peoples of the Holy Land can live together in peace and harmony without the need for such instruments of security and separation,the pope said on departure at the airport.His visit had been awaited with hope in the Middle East, where peace-making efforts have stalled. In January, it was in doubt as relations with Israel plunged over Benedict's decision to readmit to the Church a bishop who had denied the extent of the Holocaust, one of a number of issues to anger Jews.Israelis hoping for an apology this week said the pope had missed an opportunity and voiced disappointment at the speech he made at the Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem.

His condemnation of Holocaust deniers seemed mechanical to many who expected more empathy from a man who was a teenage conscript in the Hitler Youth and World War Two German army.But in Friday's address, taking leave of President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the pontiff used more powerful language, calling his meeting with Holocaust survivors one of the most solemn moments of the pilgrimage.

Those deeply moving encounters brought back memories of my visit three years ago to the death camp at Auschwitz, where so many Jews -- mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, friends -- were brutally exterminated under a godless regime,he said.Nazi anti-Semitism and hatred had written an appalling chapter of history (that) must never be forgotten or denied.

A STATE FOR PALESTINIANS

Before departing for Rome, the pope again drove home his political message, calling for peace to end Israeli occupation of the West Bank and give the Palestinians their own homeland.He stressed this goal several times during his five-day tour, aware that Israel's new government has so far declined to endorse the two-state solution desired by the West.I wish to put on record that I came to visit this country as a friend of the Israelis, just as I am a friend of the Palestinian people,he said.No friend ... can fail to be saddened by the continuing tension between your two peoples.The appeal came 61 years to the day since Israel became a state, a day known as the Nakba, or disaster, by Palestinians, half of whom fled or were forced from their homes in 1948.

To both sides he urged: No more bloodshed! No more fighting! No more terrorism! No more war! Israel's right to exist in security must be universally recognized, he said, and it must be acknowledged that the Palestinian people have a right to a sovereign independent homeland, to live with dignity and to travel freely.Peres told the pope his visit had made a significant contribution to the new relations between the Vatican and Israel, and his speeches carried a substantive weight.In the final act of worship of his visit, Pope Benedict preached a message of hope for all mankind at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem's Old City, where Christians believe Jesus Christ was crucified and rose from the dead. The empty tomb speaks to us of hope, the hope that does not disappoint because it is the gift of the spirit of life, he said.Love is stronger than death.(Writing by Douglas Hamilton; Editing by Alastair Macdonald)

WHO chief warns against false security about flu By Stephanie Nebehay MAY 15,09

GENEVA (Reuters) – The World Health Organization warned on Friday against a false sense of security from waning and apparently mild outbreaks of H1N1 flu, saying the worst may not be over.WHO Director-General Margaret Chan, who raised the United Nations agency's pandemic alert to the second-highest level, said there remained great uncertainty about the strain that could pose particular threats in Southeast Asia.We are meeting at a time of crisis that could have global implications, she told an intergovernmental meeting on pandemic preparedness at the WHO's Geneva headquarters.The meeting is tackling the sensitive question of virus sharing, in which countries provide biological specimens to the international community for use by pharmaceutical companies and vaccine makers who are formulating jab ingredients.

At the height of fears about bird flu, Indonesia had refused to share H5N1 virus samples without guarantees that any vaccines developed from them would be made available to poorer countries at an affordable price.GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi-Aventis, Novartis, Baxter International and other pharmaceutical companies others are awaiting WHO guidance about whether to start mass-producing vaccines to fight H1N1, which may force them to cut production of seasonal flu shots.Chan said she would make a recommendation soon about the appropriate balance between the types of jabs.We are moving on two tracks to ensure some security for seasonal vaccine and at the same time kick-starting early scientific work for pandemic vaccine,she told the session.

MILD SYMPTOMS

The WHO chief commended countries with H1N1 infections for their timely sharing of samples for risk assessment and making seed vaccine,saying that starting point for larger production of jabs could be ready by the end of this month.And another top official, acting WHO director-general Keiji Fukuda, said there had been rapid, widespread sharing of specimens to date.Participants in the two-day WHO meeting are seeking to reach agreement on standards for transparency, trust, and sovereignty related to virus sample sharing, an issue that is also expected to dominate next week's annual World Health Assembly in Geneva.I hope the end result is something really balanced that we can use for a long time,Fukuda said.According to the latest WHO count, some 7,520 people in 34 countries have been infected with the strain that is a genetic mixture of swine, bird and human viruses. Belgium was the latest addition to that official tally.Mexico has experienced 60 deaths from the virus that has also killed three people in the United States, one person in Canada and one in Costa Rica.Most patients infected with the flu, which spreads like the seasonal flu through sneezes, coughs and air droplets, have experienced mild symptoms and some appear to be asymptomatic.Antiviral drugs such as Roche's Tamiflu and GlaxoSmithKline's Relenza are effective against the H1N1 strain. At present, however, the majority of people catching it are able to recover without drug treatment.

The WHO's pandemic alert scale represents its views on the way a virus is spreading, not the severity of its effects. Evidence that H1N1 flu is spreading in a sustained way in communities outside of the Americas would prompt Chan to push the global alert to the top of the six-point scale and declare a full pandemic is underway. The two European countries with the highest concentrations of cases are Spain with 100 and Britain with 71.The virus has made a much smaller impact so far in Asia, with 7 infections in New Zealand, 4 in Japan, 4 in China and Hong Kong, 3 in South Korea and 2 in Thailand. No cases have been reported in Africa and Israel is the sole Middle Eastern state with WHO-confirmed infections, with 7.Financial markets have already shrugged off fears about a possible pandemic, and most people have returned to normal routines, with schools re-opened in infected areas.

But Chan stressed that important risks remain.

She said the WHO is closely watching parts of Southeast Asia that saw large outbreaks of H5N1 avian flu -- a virus that can be deadly when it passes from birds to humans, but has not spread easily between people to date. A mixture of H5N1 and H1N1 viruses could have a big impact, she said, while stressing: I am not saying it will happen.

The website of a US based influenza expert has suggested that the World Health Organisation will soon declare a level six swine flu alert, following new and unlinked cases of transmission in Scotland.A 45-year-old woman, a five year-old child and a 16-year-old have all tested positive for swine flu, the Scottish Government confirmed today.Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who is also Scottish Health Secretary, said there was no obvious connection between the teenager and any other confirmed or probable cases in the town.If no link emerges between the girl and any other cases, it could be the first evidence of community transmission in Scotland.

These facts have prompted prominent influenza expert Dr Henry L Niman’s Recombinomics site to predict that a UN declaration of phase six is imminent:The confirmed community transmission in Scotland, fulfills the WHO requirement of community transmission in two or more regions to raise the pandemic level from 5 to 6.Niman’s article states.Although swine H1N1 was widespread in Mexico, the United States, and Canada, the WHO maintained the pandemic level at phase 5 because community transmission was not confirmed outside of North America.the article explains.Dr Niman is known for pioneering the flu monoclonal antibody, which is widely used throughout the pharmaceutical, biotech, and research industries.The news dovetails with reports of surges in cases of the virus worldwide.WHO reported more than 1000 new cases around the globe within the last 24 hours, bringing the number of confirmed cases to 7520.Level six is the highest level on the WHO pandemic scale, indicating a full scale global outbreak of the swine flu.Imposing a level 6 would give governments around the world a perfect excuse to impose restrictions on movement and liberties, even though many scientists believe the H1N1 virus is no more of a threat than seasonal flu.Earlier this week, one of the first scientists to properly analyze the genetic makeup of the virus stated that the it may have escaped from a laboratory.WHO has since repudiated the claim.

Shocking New York Times article about Boy Scouts being trained to disarm and kill American citizens stokes fears of Hitler Youth Paul Joseph Watson & Kurt Nimmo
Prison Planet.com Friday, May 15, 2009


Ten minutes into arrant mayhem in this town near the Mexican border, and the gunman, a disgruntled Iraq war veteran, has already taken out two people, one slumped in his desk, the other covered in blood on the floor, begins a shocking New York Times article reporting on how the Boy Scouts are being trained to take on domestic terrorists, which apparently would include war veterans and American citizens if the Homeland Security definition of a terrorist is to be applied.Homeland Security and the FBI are behind the effort to indoctrinate and train the Boy Scouts to become tomorrow’s Gestapo. Our end goal is to create more agents, April McKee, a senior Border Patrol agent, told the Times. Before it was more about the basics, said Johnny Longoria, a Border Patrol agent. But now our emphasis is on terrorism, illegal entry, drugs and human smuggling.Is this the literal creation of Hitler-Jugend style youth brigades designed to act as the front line for eventual programs of mass internment and gun confiscation in the advent of a national emergency? In Nazi Germany, the Hitler Youth succeeded the Boy Scout movement. Hitler Youth training was militarized in comparison to the Boy Scout network, which was largely based around education. Boys aged fourteen and upwards, as well as a separate branch aged 10-14, were trained at preparatory schools to become future Nazi leaders. At its height in 1940, and after it had become mandatory to join, the Hitler Youth boasted no less than 8 million members.Apparently in a shift away from the traditional Boy Scouts activities of sports, camping, survival skills and team leadership, the government is now training children to confront terrorism, illegal immigration and escalating border violence” under the banner of the Explorers program, with the aid of military-style exercises aimed at subduing insurgents.In one scenario, boys are trained how to conduct drug raids and take out an obstreperous lookout.Put him on his face and put a knee in his back,a Border Patrol agent explained.I guarantee that he’ll shut up.In other situations, Boy Scouts are trained to disarm suspected terrorists and subdue them, including Iraq war veterans.Scouts are trained to identify the enemy. In a competition in Arizona, one role-player wore traditional Arab dress.If we’re looking at 9/11 and what a Middle Eastern terrorist would be like,said A. J. Lowenthal, a sheriff’s deputy in Imperial County, California,then maybe your role-player would look like that. I don’t know, would you call that politically incorrect?

Politically correct or not, Homeland Security and the FBI realize Arabs are not the enemy — rightwing extremists are.Last month, Infowars reported on a document produced by the Department of Homeland Security’s National Infrastructure Coordinating Center identifying advocates of the Second Amendment, veterans, pro-life activists, and militia members as dangerous terrorists. A subsequent DHS document, entitled Domestic Extremism Lexicon, pinpointed antigovernment types rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority as possible terrorists. Islamic groups are specifically excluded from this document,writes Benjamin Sarlin for the Daily Beast.

The new Gestapo Boy Scouts program will train the new Hitler Youth — or Obama youth — for the challenges of a totalitarian globalist future. As the planned implosion of the economy unfolds and unemployment increases, the federal government is picking up the slack.In the wake of the huge stimulus package to jumpstart the economy, plenty of new positions are being created by 2010. The agencies that will benefit include the Defense, Commerce, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs departments,writes Judi Hasson for Fierce Government.Gestapo Scouts will be required to combat rightwing extremists who will refuse to turn in their firearms after the next false flag terror attack or engineered pandemic. SWAT Scouts will be called to deal with those who refuse to participate in mandatory vaccinations. Police state Scouts will be the vanguard for Obama’s million-man Civilian National Security Corps.just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded as the military.It’s up to the New York Times, as the premier liberal propaganda outfit, to sell the militarization of the Boy Scouts to the American people, using the standard bugaboos of Arab terrorists, drug cartel thugs, and marijuana cultivators as the example of why all of this is necessary.In the real world, however, government is not primarily concerned with drug dealers — after all, the government and Wall Street run most of the drugs — they are worried about growing opposition to the destruction of the Constitution and the imposition of world government by a cabal of international bankers and their corporate fascist partners in crime.

Canada March factory sales drop by 2.7 percent MAY 15,09

OTTAWA (Reuters) – The value of Canadian manufacturing shipments fell by 2.7 percent in March from February, pushed down to an almost 10-year low by weak performances from durable goods industries and the primary metals products sector, Statistics Canada said on Friday.Analysts had predicted a 1.0 percent increase over February. Sales in current dollars were C$41.4 billion, the lowest level since the C$41.3 billion recorded in May 1999.Manufacturing sales have now dropped almost 25 percent since their peak in July 2008, with most of the decline occurring between November 2008 and January 2009.Constant dollar manufacturing sales, which are measured in 2002 prices, fell by 2.4 percent to C$38.2 billion, the lowest since the C$37.1 billion posted in July 1998.Durable goods industries posted a 4.4 percent decline in March from February, hit by a 32.4 percent plunge in aerospace products and parts and a 17.6percent slide in motor vehicle parts sales.Primary metal manufacturers posted a 7.6 percent drop in the value of sales. In March, 15 of the 21 manufacturing industries recorded declines, accounting for about three-quarters of total sales.(Reporting by David Ljunggren; Editing by Theodore d'Afflisio)

European stocks turn lower after weak growth data By CARLO PIOVANO, AP Business Writer MAY 15,09

LONDON – European markets turned lower Friday afternoon after official data showed the region's economies contracted at a sharper-than-expected pace in the first quarter.Although Asian stocks had earlier closed higher on investor hopes for a recovery in the global economy later this year, the latest statistics suggested otherwise and futures were predicting that Wall Street would also open lower.In early afternoon trading in Europe, Germany's DAX was down 0.7 percent at 4,703.11, while Britain's FTSE 100 was 0.7 percent lower at 4,333.13. In France, the CAC 40 was down 0.2 percent at 3,150.35. In the morning, all the indexes were higher.The euro zone's economy shrank by a massive 2.5 percent in the first quarter, its fourth consecutive quarterly drop, official figures showed.The recession deepened as global trade dropped off sharply, with exporters like Germany, the euro zone's biggest economy, badly hit. In the first quarter, Germany's economy shrank 3.8 percent as demand for its high value goods, such as cars and machinery, collapsed.France was confirmed to be in a recession, its longest since 1949, after a 1.2 percent drop in economic activity in the first quarter, while Britain shrank by 1.9 percent.Howard Archer, chief European and U.K. economist at IHS Global Insight, said the figures were even worse than widely expected and dragged down by Germany's slump in exports.But he added the bottom may have been reached.This should mark the nadir in the euro zone's recession as there are mounting signs that the rate of contraction is now moderating appreciably,he said.Meanwhile, reports in London that Barclays PLC is discussing the possible sale of its Barclays Global Investments unit caused its shares to rise as much as 9 percent. The Financial Times said Barclays was discussing a potential $10 billion sale of the unit with New York-based BlackRock Inc.Stock markets closed higher in Asia, where investors were encouraged by data showing Japanese machinery orders in March fell less than expected.Analysts said investors' hopes for a rebound in growth later this year had proven robust, dropping only momentarily because of weak U.S. retail sales data, which earlier this week showed American consumers — one of the engines of world growth — are not yet ready to spend again.Investors tend to look ahead and they don't want to get caught out during the recovery. That's why you're seeing some resilience,said Lorraine Tan, director of equities research at Standard & Poor's in Singapore.

Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average gained 171.29 points, or 1.9 percent, to 9,265.02, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 249.01, or 1.5 percent, to 16,790.70.In other markets, South Korea's Kospi edged up 0.8 percent, Australia's index gained 1.3 percent and Taiwan's market rose 2 percent.Despite Asia's gains, Wall Street was expected to open lower. Dow futures were down 35 points at 8,252 and Standard & Poor's 500 futures were down 6.7 at 882.80. They were higher before the release of the European growth data, but have fallen steadily since then.Like equities, oil prices lost early gains to drop into the red by the afternoon in Europe. Benchmark crude for June delivery was down 84 cents at $57.783; the contract had climbed 60 cents overnight.In currencies, the dollar weakened to 95.17 yen from 96.08, while the euro was lower at $1.3521.Associated Press writer Jeremiah Marquez in Hong Kong contributed to this report.

GM dealers expect word on plans to cut 1,100 shops MAY 15,09
By TOM KRISHER and DAN STRUMPF, AP Auto Writers.

DETROIT – A day after Chrysler LLC told a quarter of its dealers that it won't renew their contracts, owners of General Motors Corp. dealerships are awaiting word on whether they will be next.GM said it will notify 1,100 U.S. dealers on Friday that their franchise agreements will not be renewed. Dealers expect to hear either by telephone or FedEx letters that will begin arriving Friday morning.GM spokeswoman Susan Garontakos said the company will not make public a list of dealers to be cut, leaving the decision to release information to individual business owners.The company has scheduled a conference call for noon Friday to explain its dealer reduction strategy.The cuts will come just a day after crosstown rival Chrysler announced it was dropping 789 of its roughly 3,200 dealerships by around June 9. Both companies have too many dealerships for too few sales are slashing costs as they race to restructure.GM's dealer cuts are part of the company's plan announced last month to cut more than 2,600 dealers by 2010. The remaining cuts will come from closed Saturn and Hummer dealers, along with 400 dealers that the company expects will close voluntarily. Another 500 would be consolidated into other dealerships.The GM dealer cuts are likely to have a much greater impact than Chrysler's. While many Chrysler dealers also sell other brands and will stay open after losing their franchises, a large number of GM dealers sell only GM vehicles. So if their franchises are revoked, they run a greater risk of closing for good.In both cases, the cuts will cost thousands of jobs, create holes in local tax bases, eliminate community pillars and create economic ripple effects across the country.

Chrysler is operating under bankruptcy protection, so it is likely to have an easier time tearing up its franchise agreements with its dealers than GM. A hearing is scheduled for June 3 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York for the judge to determine whether to approve Chrysler's motion to fire its dealers.Chrysler executives said Thursday the company is trying to preserve its best-performing dealers and eliminate ones with the weakest sales. More than half of the dealerships being eliminated sell less than 100 vehicles per year, they said, and account for 14 percent of U.S. sales.

Chrysler has received $4 billion in government aid, while GM has received $15.4 billion. GM is continuing to restructure out of court and faces a government-imposed deadline of May 31 for doing so. Several difficult hurdles remain, and many experts say that it is all but inevitable that it will follow Chrysler into Chapter 11 bankruptcy.To remake itself outside of court, GM must persuade its bondholders to swap $27 billion in debt for 10 percent of its risky stock. In addition, it must work out deals with its union, announce factory closures, cut or sell brands and shutter dealers.Swapping its bond debt for equity may be its most difficult task. The company is trying to get 90 percent of its bondholders on board for the so-called debt-for-equity swap. A committee representing the bondholders has rejected the swap, saying it unfairly favors the government and the United Auto Workers union. They have counteroffered seeking a 58 percent ownership stake, which the automaker in turn rejected.On Thursday, GM said that bankruptcy is possible if it doesn't get enough takers on the exchange. If that happens, it likely would sell most of its assets to a new company and liquidate the rest, the automaker disclosed in a regulatory filing.
The automaker also says it could seek court approval of its reorganization plan even if creditors vote against it.

Economic guru calls for tax harmonisation to save single market
ANDREW WILLIS 14.05.2009 @ 17:34 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A compromise deal between the EU's Anglo-Saxon and social market economies is the best way to secure Europe's future economic strength and social stability, says former EU competition commissioner Mario Monti. Speaking at the Brussels Economic Forum on Thursday (14 May), an annual meeting point for some of the globe's most influential economic policy makers, Mr Monti added that the current crisis provided an excellent opportunity to secure such a deal.To avoid frustration in both groups of countries resulting in resentment against Europe generally and the single market specifically, the EU should, in my view, grab this chance that was not there one year ago,he said. The Anglo-Saxon economies of the UK and Ireland, together with many new member states, have in the past voiced their frustration with continental countries such as France for failing to comply with single market rules, such as competition and state aid requirements.Conversely, countries that provide greater social benefits often begrudge the low-tax, low-spend countries for their long-standing opposition to any form of tax co-ordination.They argue that low corporate tax regimes such as that seen in Ireland constitute little more than a race to the bottom, promoting companies to base themselves where taxes are lowest and subsequently denying other governments the vital tax revenues necessary to support their social objectives. To reconcile the two sides says Mr Monti, the EU should propose a strategic pact with two chief components. The first would be a renewed binding commitment to the single market, including strengthened enforcement mechanisms and initiatives with deadlines to implement the single market in areas where it is still lacking,he proposes. The second measure would consist of a limited system of tax co-ordination between member states.French Socialist MEP Pervenche Beres, chair of the parliament's influential economic affairs committee, later told EUobserver that the current discussion was reminiscent of the debate surrounding the Bolkestein services directive leading up to the European elections in 2004.If nothing is done [to harmonise member state tax regimes], the sustainability of internal market logic as it is currently built will be less and less,she said.

A question of sovereignty

Securing a deal on taxation at the European level requires a unanimous decision by member-state governments, some of whom hold their sovereign right to set tax levels as absolutely sacrosanct. The Irish government is currently seeking a legal guarantee to ensure the Lisbon treaty does not weaken its control over the area. However Jacques de Larosiere, a former governor of the Bank of France and chairman of a EU high-level group on financial regulation, also called on governments to co-operate while speaking at the Brussels Economic Forum. His group's recent report says the EU's current supervisory committees on banking, insurance and securities should be beefed up with new powers, enabling them to force national regulators to intervene when financial organisations such as large banks take on too much risk. Like Mr Monti's proposal on taxation, this would require a handover of national powers to supranational structures. If, in 2009, Europe is not able to surmount its differences and get together on this modest compromise then forget about it,said Mr Larosiere.

Member state willingness to adopt pan-European solutions will shortly become evident.

At the end of this month the commission will come forward with concrete proposals for a European supervisory framework, largely based on the Larosiere report. A few weeks later at the June European summit, EU leaders will then decide whether the proposals will make it into EU legislation or are destined to join the multitude of other reports gathering dust on a commission shelf somewhere. The image of Europe is that we can't agree on anything,warns Mr Larosiere.If we can get our act together we will have much greater credibility.

Recession not over yet for eurozone
ANDREW WILLIS Today MAY 15,09 @ 09:24 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A new survey released by the European Central Bank (ECB) on Thursday (14 May) suggests the euro area economy will contract by twice as much this year as previously predicted, dampening recent talk of the green shoots of recovery and an end to the recession. Conducted among 52 forecasting experts from across Europe, the ECB survey predicts GDP growth for the 16-member area is likely to shrink by 3.4 percent in 2009, a significant deterioration on a similar February forecast of a 1.7 percent decline. However, the experts predict the area's growth will edge back into positive territory in 2010, with a modest expansion of 0.2 percent expected. The news comes despite the extensive measures taken by the bank since the recession started.These include the cutting of interest rates to a record low of one percent last week, coupled with the announcement of plans to buy €60 billion of covered bonds held by banks.That decision is already yielding results, with Banco Santander issuing the first Spanish covered bond this week for over a year to strong demand. The EU is also co-ordinating a €200 billion stimulus package announced last December that is being implemented on a national basis. However, on Thursday Swedish finance minister Anders Borg said that figure might not be enough, suggesting some areas may require further stimulus spending. Sweden is to take over the EU's six-month rotating presidency in July, casting Mr Borg as an important economic decision-maker as chair of regular EU finance minister meetings. Despite raising the spectre of further stimulus spending, Mr Borg warned an audience of economic policy makers in Brussels over the dangers of rising budget deficits.There is a great demand for responsible fiscal policy in the future,he said.

Spanish troubles

One country where the prospect of a rapid exit from the recession seems unlikely is Spain.The once booming southern European economy has seen one of the greatest reversals of fortune among EU member states. On Thursday, the country's national statistics office released new data showing that the Spanish economy in the first quarter of this year contracted by its fastest rate in at least 40 years. Added to this is the problem of rising unemployment, recorded at 17.4 percent in March, the highest of any EU member state. The statistics office said preliminary data show that the economy contracted by 1.8 percent in the first quarter of this year compared to last quarter of 2008, when the country entered into recession. Prior to this, Spain had enjoyed 14 years of consecutive growth. The collapse in the country's construction sector is a principle factor behind the change in fortunes, with the European commission recently predicting that Spain will be the last EU economy to recover from recession, probably in 2011.

More EU states heading for deficit action
ANDREW WILLIS 13.05.2009 @ 17:43 CET


The European commission adopted economic reports on Lithuania, Malta, Poland and Romania on Wednesday (13 May), signalling that the EU executive now considers their budget deficits in 2008 to have been in breach of EU rules known as the stability and growth pact.It is vital that we apply the stability and growth pact …and devise an adjustment path to correct deficits and debts in a timely way,said economy commissioner Joaquin Almunia. This is key to preserve the sustainability of public finances in the medium-to-long term,he added. Under the rules, EU member states are not allowed to run budget deficits in excess of 3 percent of their gross domestic product.Following Wednesday's decision, the reports will now be handed to a committee of financial experts whose opinion is taken into account before the commission asks EU finance ministers to endorse corrective measures for the four states at their next meeting in June. The states then have six months to adopt the necessary measures aimed at bringing down their budget deficits within a specific timeframe, deficits largely caused by falling tax receipts and expansionary fiscal policies in 2008.

Malta for instance re-nationalised its shipyards last year at a cost of 1.3 per cent of GDP, whereas Poland increased income tax relief for families, as well as pension and social benefits.

The fallout

As a member of the euro area, Malta is the only one of the four countries that could in theory receive fines as a result of its excessive budget deficit, although the EU executive is quick to point out this has never happened in the past.We don't regard any talk of sanctions as helpful,commission spokesman Mark English told EUobserver.

Instead he describes the process as a multilateral surveillance system whereby member states put pressure on each other to reduce their deficits once the current economic crisis is over.Poland's excessive deficit appears to be having more direct consequences however.On Monday the country's finance minister, Jacek Rostowski, admitted that entry to the euro area was likely to be delayed by as much as one year as a result of the economic crisis and the government's deteriorating finances.

Poland had hoped to join the two-year waiting chamber, known as ERM-II, to the euro area this year, with a full shift to the common currency scheduled for 2012.The commission's decision follows a similar move by the EU executive in February regarding the excessive deficits of Greece, Ireland, Latvia and Spain. The UK and Hungary were already operating under the procedure prior to the onset of the financial crisis.

European satellites to explore origins of universe

The European Space Agency on Thursday launched a telescope and spacecraft on a mission set to explore the creation of the universe.Herschel, the biggest telescope launched in history, is to study electromagnetic waves, dust clouds and planet-forming discs around stars, as well ice particles.The data collected could help answer questions such as what the universe is made of, how it has evolved and the rate at which it is expanding.The Planck spacecraft will gather data on remaining radiation from the Big Bang, the massive cosmological explosion that led to the formation of stars and planets.Both blasted off on an Ariane rocket from Kourou, Europe's launching pad in French Guiana. They will spend the next two to three months making their way to observation positions some 1.5 million kilometres from Earth on its night side.Herschel and Planck will enable us to go very far back in time, to the origins of our Universe and it is only by better understanding our Universe's overall past that we can help to better define the future of our planet, the ESA's director general, Jean-Jacques Dordain said.The craft will stay in orbit for 21 months, while the telescope will gather data on the formation of planets for up to three years.

Their combined programmes cost €1.9 billion - the greatest amount ESA's science division had ever put on a single rocket. Herschel and Planck were developed after 20 years of research by an industrial team led by France's Thales Alenia and including over 100 contractors from 15 countries in Europe and the United States.

24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise:(10 NATIONS) and another shall rise after them;(#11 SPAIN) and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.(BE HEAD OF 3 KINGS OR NATIONS).

Klaus not to chair EU leaders summit
HONOR MAHONY 14.05.2009 @ 09:15 CET


Czech President Vaclav Klaus will not chair a high-profile meeting of EU leaders in June, his office has announced.Mr Klaus proposed that Prime Minister Jan Fischer should chair June's EU summit in Brussels on behalf of the Czech presidency, his office said in a statement.The president has full trust in the prime minister and has no doubt that he will handle this role easily and with success.The move is likely to be greeted with relief by EU diplomats who feared the president would use the gathering to air his strong opposition to the EU's Lisbon treaty, compounding what many view as a damaging past few months for the bloc under the gaffe-prone Czech presidency.The summit chair became the hot topic of conversation in Brussels after the Czech government fell in March due to a vote of no confidence.At the meeting EU leaders are due to sign off a series of treaty guarantees on tax, neutrality and ethical issues as part of a political package for Ireland, whose citizens will vote on the Lisbon document for a second time in the autumn, having rejected it last year.

There had been talk of moving the summit to July when it would be chaired by next EU presidency country Sweden.Ireland, which had favoured keeping the summit in June for domestic timetable reasons, has been working on fast-tracking its treaty guarantees so that they would be agreed before the summit.The Klaus-Fischer agreement will instead see the maverick Czech president chair the EU-Russia and EU-China summits.

Austria's highest honour

But even as Mr Klaus has attracted criticism in some parts of the EU, he is winning awards in others.Austria's Wiener Zeitung reports that the Czech president will receive the country's highest honour, the Great Honorary Star for Achievements for the Republic of Austria.The gong, agreed by the government on Wednesday, is in recognition of Mr Klaus' efforts to overcome communism, a spokesperson for Austria's president said.

New EU political group open to Libertas members
ANDREW RETTMAN 14.05.2009 @ 17:44 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - An emerging anti-federalist political group in the European Parliament would be open to take in Libertas members, if the anti-treaty party is unable to form a group itself.The British Conservative party, the Czech Republic's ODS and Poland's Law and Justice party are currently in talks with several smaller parties to form a new anti-EU integration group after the elections next month.The new group aims to unveil its name and full membership shortly after the election result on 7 June.Jan Zahradil, the head of the ODS delegation in Brussels, told EUobserver on Thursday (14 May) that more than four smaller parties have already signed up, but do not want to go public yet.They are junior parties, the kind that might get one, two or three MEPs in the elections,he said.The junior parties come from both old and new member states. Some of them are in the existing, right-leaning European People's Party (EPP-ED) and Union for Europe of the Nations (UEN) groups in parliament and some have never sent MEPs to Brussels before, the Czech politician revealed.The new group expects to get at least 65 MEPs, which would make it the fourth largest in parliament.Mr Zahradil said the group is also interested in taking in MEPs from the Libertas party, if Libertas politicians find themselves stranded after the EU vote. I believe we can negotiate on some of the political issues that are now being discussed within Libertas. My feeling is, they will not make it in seven countries. If they cannot establish their own group, in my opinion this [taking in Libertas MEPs] is perfectly negotiable,he said.

I assume they wouldn't want to be non-inscrit.

Under EU rules, a political movement has to have at least 25 MEPs coming from seven EU countries in order to form a group.Group status gives the right to good places in parliament committees, access to meetings of top officials, more speaking time in plenary and greater financial resources.Independent, or non-inscrit,MEPs are usually condemned to obscurity.

Fitting in

Any potential link-up with Libertas, seen as a dangerous upstart by the EU establishment, might prove tricky for the British Conservatives and Poland's Law and Justice. Both parties see themselves as part of the political mainstream despite their anti-integrationist views.A spokesman for the British Conservative EU delegation said it does not give a running commentary on the new group's formation. Law and Justice also declined to speak.But Mr Zahradil said that some of Libertas' ideas fit in with the new group's agenda. Both sides dislike the Lisbon treaty and oppose further transfer of national sovereignty to the EU, he explained.If the Lisbon treaty did not come into force due the German court or the Irish referendum, we could live with that. The EU does not need this treaty,the Czech politician said.The German constitutional court is currently debating the compatibility of the treaty with German law. It also faces a second referendum in Ireland, expected in October.Mr Zahradil ruled out co-operation with any of the more controversial Libertas figures, however.Czech Libertas candidate Vladimir Zelezny was this week convicted on tax evasion charges. The recent former head of Poland's far-right League of Polish Families party, Wojciech Wierzejski, is running for Libertas in Poland. We are not going to negotiate with people like the League of Polish Families,Mr Zahradil said.

Asked if Libertas' leader, Irish businessman Declan Ganley, would be welcome in the new group, the Czech politician cast doubt on Mr Ganley's intention to become an MEP if elected.The question is, how serious he is in his own running,Mr Zahradil said.

In full swing

For its part, Libertas denied making any contingency plans for failure in the EU vote.
Our sights are firmly set on forming a Libertas group within the European Parliament, a spokeswoman told this website. We are not considering other options.Libertas is this week making headlines across eastern Europe after paying Polish anti-Communist hero and Nobel laureate Lech Walesa to speak at its rallies in Rome and Madrid.Mr Walesa in Madrid on Thursday voiced support for the Lisbon treaty and at the same time wished the anti-treaty party success for the sake of pluralism in EU debate.I'm here to talk about freedom and democracy, to say, we are building Europe together, that there is a place for everybody,he said.I would talk with the devil himself, just to tell him, that I love God.

9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Medvedev criticizes NATO exercise in Georgia Fri May 15, 5:19 am ET

MOSCOW – Russian President Dmitry Medvedev criticized NATO's exercises in Georgia and pushed for a new trans-Atlantic security treaty in remarks broadcast Friday.He said NATO's expansion eastward has created new divisions and hurt European security.The United States, Canada, the European Union, NATO and alliances of ex-Soviet nations must take part in forging a new security pact, Medvedev said in an interview with Russian state television, fragments of which were broadcast Friday.Russia and NATO recently started to improve ties frozen after Russia's war with Georgia in August, but tensions soared again over expulsions of diplomats and NATO exercises that began last week in Georgia.What's better: create a new security structure or hold military maneuvers in close vicinity proximity to the area which saw a military action less than a year ago? he said.Moscow has criticized NATO for taking former Soviet republics and satellites in Central and Eastern Europe as members, and has fiercely opposed the alliance's plan to include Russia's neighbors Georgia and Ukraine.NATO is getting bigger and security becomes fragmented,Medvedev said.I don't think it can suit anyone, no matter what our partners say.Medvedev first proposed to work out a new trans-Atlantic security pact in June, but the previous U.S. administration had ignored the offer.President Barack Obama said after meeting with Medvedev in London last month that the proposal is worth exploring — part of the new U.S. administration push for better ties with Moscow.Medvedev reaffirmed Friday that the new security pact he proposed is not aimed against NATO.

Russia offers to revive European arms-control deal By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV, Associated Press Writer – Thu May 14, 9:18 am ET

MOSCOW – Russia said Thursday it was proposing a new version of a key European arms-control treaty it suspended more than a year ago, and could once again honor the agreement if the U.S. and its NATO allies accept the changes.The statement by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko signaled that the Kremlin hopes for better ties with Washington under President Barack Obama.Nesterenko said Russia is proposing to negotiate revisions in the Conventional Forces in Europe treaty with the U.S. He added that other nations could also join the talks.The 1990 treaty limits the number of tanks, aircraft and other heavy non-nuclear weapons that could be deployed west of the Ural Mountains — the edge of European Russia. A new revised version was signed in 1999, but NATO countries have not ratified it and in 2007 Russia suspended its participation.Russia believes that chances to revive the treaty still exist, Nesterenko said at a briefing. He said Russia had formally submitted its proposals for changes in the treaty to other partners in the CFE treaty earlier this month.

Russia said the original treaty became obsolete after several former Soviet republics and satellite nations joined NATO. Former President Vladimir Putin, who now serves as a powerful prime minister, has said that the CFE treaty limited the nation's ability to respond to threats on its own territory.Putin once likened the restrictions Russia faces under the existing treaty to a situation in which the U.S. would have to seek Russian approval before it sent troops from California to Texas.The West has insisted that Russia must honor a promise to pull out its troops from Georgia and the breakaway region of Trans-Dniester in Moldova before NATO moves to ratify the revised treaty. Russia shrugged off the demands as irrelevant.Nesterenko said Russia wants to remove discriminatory restrictions on deployment of military forces on its territory, to lower weapons numbers and to make sure that new NATO members observe the revised treaty.A U.S.-Russian draft package solution, if substantially improved, could serve as a basis for breaking the deadlock,Nesterenko said.The main task is to make it really well-balanced.Russia's ties with the U.S. plummeted to a post-Cold War low under the Bush administration amid sharp disputes over American missile defense plans and Russia's war with Georgia in August.The Obama administration has signaled a desire to improve ties with Moscow and sought to quickly negotiate a successor deal to the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or START, which expires at year's end.

Gorbachev: Europe misunderstands Russia By STEVE GUTTERMAN, Associated Press Writer – Wed May 13, 4:18 pm ET

MOSCOW – Mikhail Gorbachev said Wednesday that Europe still misunderstands Russia nearly two decades after the Soviet collapse, and he dismissed as nonsense portrayals of his country as an aggressive force.Gorbachev, who resigned as the Soviet Union's last president when the Cold War superpower disintegrated in 1991, said Russia does not want military conflict but suggested it should be treated as an equal.We must achieve an understanding of Russia by Europe. This is absent,Gorbachev told a news conference, according to excerpts posted on the Web site of his charitable foundation.

Russia as an aggressor, Russia as an imperialist — this is all nonsense,he was quoted as saying.Russia is a self-sufficient state that has everything it needs to conduct its long-term policy. Russia does not want to fight anyone.At the same time, he said that Russian leaders sometimes err by reacting too sharply to events, possibly referring to the tough anti-Western rhetoric that deepened Western wariness about Russia's intentions during Vladimir Putin's eight-year presidency.Gorbachev said he likes President Barack Obama's point of view on U.S.-Russian relations.He has said, Yes, we have differences, we don't agree on everything, but we will work with Russia, Gorbachev said.On domestic affairs, Gorbachev reaffirmed that he plans to help create a new political party that would support democracy, saying organizers have received more than 10,000 letters in support of this idea.Gorbachev has generally praised Putin, now prime minister, but has carefully criticized the growing Kremlin monopoly on power by targeting Putin's dominant United Russia party. In an interview with The Associated Press in March, he called United Russia the worst version of the Soviet-era Communist Party and said Russia's parliament and judiciary are not fully independent.

On Wednesday Gorbachev also praised Putin's hand-picked successor, Dmitry Medvedev, but suggested he is still overshadowed by his mentor. Russia's beleaguered liberals hope Medvedev will ease the Kremlin's grip and follow through on statements stressing the importance of independent courts, political diversity and the rule of law.I think this person is trying, and it seems he has many desires and that they are focused on continuing democratic and reform processes,Gorbachev was quoted as saying of Medvedev.
But I think that he still needs to gain strength.
