BILDERBERG TREASON GOES UNPUNISHED

WORLD GOVERNMENT

EPHESIANS 6:10-13
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,(DEMONIC ANGELS IN HIGH PLACES) against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.(SPIRTIUAL DEMONIC PERSONS)
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

LUKE 4:5-7(BECAUSE SATAN OFFERS WORLD POWER, WORLD ORDERERS HAVE ACCEPTED SATANS GIFT)
5 And the devil, taking him (JESUS) up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

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.

Bilderberger treason goes unpunished! By Jerry Mazza
Online Journal Associate Editor Jun 5, 2009, 00:26
The True Story of the Bilderberg Group The updated, revised, expanded North American Union Edition By Daniel Estulin

It is ironic, as Daniel Estulin points out, that America’s fledgling democracy established the Logan act in 1799 to protect itself from Americans fostering foreign associations to intrude in our affairs. Named after Dr. George Logan, a pro Republican and prescient Quaker from Pennsylvania, it has remained almost unchanged and unfortunately unused since its passage, though it reads with great relevance in the shadows of the New World Order’s operatives.It states, Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.In fact, it is amazing that the Bilderberg Group has met since 1954 with funding from the CIA and is made up of the world’s most powerful people, notably US and world heads of state, made and in the making, numerous international corporate CEOs from business, banking, industry, media, as well as world royalty, plus high-ranking members of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Tri-Lateral Commission.

The Bilderberg goal has been to shape policy that deeply concerns the United States and its citizens in regards to innumerable foreign alliances without providing US citizens any awareness of same. And not once has any US member been indicted for their treasonous breaches in these actions.Even though high-ranking members of the press attend Bilderberg annual meetings, there is little or no press coverage. They are there, as it were, to get with and push the program, albeit disguised. The meetings’ locales are announced only days before the events, always in a small town near a big city -- this year’s at the five-star Nafsika Astir Palace Hotel in Vouliagmeni, Greece, May 14-17.There are no press reports of discussions, agendas or conclusions released. Yet the matters discussed ranged this year from all facets of the US economy, including the dollar’s future, whether there will be depression or prolonged stagnation, US unemployment; more frighteningly, even to the destruction of the United States as we know it into the North American Union of Canada, the US, and Mexico.Even though I read and favorably reviewed Estulin’s Bilderberg 2007: Welcome to the Lunatic Fringe, this new edition of the story lends new urgency to what has been happening in the darkness of the political night we live in, both north and south of us, including newly made associations of corporations, plans to usurp US laws to North American Union imperatives, all part of a scheme to hammer America into the pieces of this NAU like broken glass into an unrecognizable mosaic of oppression.

There will also be a push for the enactment of the Lisbon Treaty, which depends on the Irish voting YES on the treaty in September or October. One of the Bilderberg concerns is neutralizing the anti-Lisbon treaty movement, Libertas, led by Declan Ganley. One of the Bilderberg strategies, for instance, is a whispering campaign in the US media, suggesting that Ganley is funded by arms dealers in the US linked to the US military. Right there you have a bird’s eye view of the Bilderbergers in action, with enough evidence to imprison a weighty handful of them, including some top dogs. And dogs they are, dogs of overt and covert war.Most notably, they include the multi-billionaire David Rockefeller and ex-Secretary of State and war criminal Henry Kissinger. The Rockefeller family, influence, and fortune constitute the very hub of the Bilderberg Group. Its various spokes connect to international finance, economics, media, science, world health, politics, public works, any phase of life and death you can think of.Together they form the wheel of the New World Order, rolling towards a vast collectivist society in which free nation states are subsumed under the Bilderberg Big Brothers, most notably Rockefeller, with an expanded UN military force, supported by taxes on oil at the wellhead to maintain order and security.It is a strangely utopian notion of a World Company,an uber capitalist corporation vs. the nation state, a whole new Brand X of authoritarian rule. Its model most closely resembles a free-trade capitalist China with a communist authoritarianism to buttress it, in which the individual vanishes literally and figuratively; in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and two classes are de rigueur, rich and slave-class.It’s no wonder one of the first familiar faces we see on the introduction’s page xxx is Chinese-speaking, India-born Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner. He is at the 2005 Germany-based Bilderberg meeting, then as president of New York’s Federal Reserve Bank, connecting as it were with those of common interests. How far he’s come since then and how deep we’ve sunk in Treasury debt.

You will find this highly secret organization’s history exposed with an encyclopedic level of documentation, including over 100 pages of participant photos, documents, names, titles, endnotes by Daniel Estulin, in this The True Story of The Bilderberg Group, updated revised and expanded in his latest North American Union Edition, 385 pages in all. To date, the editions of this groundbreaking work have sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide in 48 languages. The reason is its relevance for citizens of every free nation in the world, now an endangered species in the wake of Bilderberg connections and activities.Estulin’s text reads like a mixture of Robert Ludlum, John LeCarre and Ian Fleming, given the world of intrigue he inhabits at the highest levels, meeting in the most luxurious, private-army and police guarded hotels. Estulin delivers secrets from an eyewitness point of view, having researched the group for the past 17 years and actually pierced the secret annual meetings well before his first 2007 edition.One time it nearly cost him his life as he waited for an elevator in a hi-rise hotel with an information source. As the door opened, he stepped forward and was hauled back by the source’s iron grip. There was no floor. The elevator had been jimmied 800 feet down. One more step and he’d been silenced. Fortunately, Estulin’s family emigrated from Russia to Ottawa, Canada. His grandfather was high-level KGB, which gives him a genetic leg up in this predator’s game.Estulin’s research has been augmented by many persons working in these hotels who, repulsed by the Bildies, have shared information on their dubious agendas, attendees, and locales. Then there are past and present intelligence officials from around the world, who report in as well, as the Bildies play good old boys club. They permit only a few wives to attend, a few noted media women, and the Queen of the Netherlands, one of the richest women in the world.To give you a sense of its scope, the new Bilderberg edition is broken up into four sections:

Part One: the Bildberg Group, including its foundation, bedfellows, objectives, puppets, a tale of the Watergate con game, and Bilderberg unmasked.

Part Two: The Council on Foreign Relations, includes Hit or Miss [that is a near miss of a hit on the author’s life in Italy], 1999, Crossover Partners, Journalistic Courtesans?, Enforced Disarmament, CFR Cabinet Control, CFR and Psycho-Political Operations, CFR and the Marshall Plan, Visible Partners.

Part Three: The Trilateral Commission, Back to the Future, Sophisticated Subversion, Packaging a President, Game of Monopoly, Bolsheviks’ Benefactors, Treason for Profit, Sacrificing a Nation [America].

The all-New Part Four: The North American Union (NAU), Detention, 2004, Overture, A Coming Union? Behind the Closed Door – In Documents & Pictures, Endnotes, a PS: actual Bilderberg Meeting Reports – 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, Author’s Afterward, and Index.

Again, as someone who read the earlier edition, I can say that all the new information is a substantial leap forward in exposing this shadow government that is working steadily for the US and other nations’ coups and subjugation to its New World Order.The Bilderberg Meeting Reports give you a candid view of this motley crew, the self-proclaimed Masters of the Universe. The reports survey crossover relationships between ex-presidents, chiefs of state from yesterday and today, from their involvements in pointless wars and conflicts, all ending in private profit. You walk away with a real idea of the world elite’s plans for today and tomorrow, which are definitely not wine and roses for you.In fact, the New World Order can be seen as a giant step backward in time to a form of feudalism governed with today’s technology and power brokers. It is an order ruled by raw power. The smell of this power seems to ooze out of the pages of the book and its tales, from Woodrow Wilson and his alter-ego, Edward M. House, working together to establish a NWO through the League of Nations . . . back to the financing of the Bolshevik Revolution by JP Morgan to undermine the power of the Czar and Russia.As an alternate title to this review, I thought of Flipping the Bilderbergers, for in fact so many household names and faces of 20th and 21st century politics -- from history, business, media, banking and finance -- are revealed, involved in various predatory schemes to deflate or inflate currencies, destroy alliances, but most of all, to weaken America. And towards that end, is it any surprise that we find our industrial infrastructure in ruins, General Motors in bankruptcy, Chrysler about to be sold to Fiat, millions of American high tech jobs outsourced to India, millions more to near and far-eastern sweatshops, our economy bankrupted? Is it any wonder that we find one bubble after another created and then broken in the stock market until the market itself is broken, a conspiracy of deregulation, and Greenspan’s photo turning up in various Bilderberg meetings, along with the ubiquitous Kissinger’s, like so many grinning cats who have swallowed the canaries? Is it any wonder that the Trilateral Commission has broken the world in three pieces: The Americas, Europe, and Asia, assigning South and Central Americas as our new sweat shops, Africa as Europe’s, and Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines as Japan’s?

And so, reading this True Story of the Bilderberg Group -- The North American Union Edition is an act of revelation. One that is necessary to help us protect ourselves against this final trashing of our borders as well as Canada’s and Mexico’s, which would pummel us into one entity ruled by the money-lust of corporate deal-makers, the same who have been planning this for years in their poisonous meetings.Bottom line, the Fix is in. Innumerable deals have been and are being made between the north and south to weaken America like a brave bull by picadors, bleeding our strength, until the matadors thrust the final swords in us. Do not by any means underestimate their power or be overly afraid of it. When push comes to shove, there are more of us than them.In fact, being exposed, opposed, deposed are the worst nightmares of the Bilderbergers, starting with its pointy-nosed, grinning zillionaire posing as a philanthropist, Dr. Doom himself, along with his cronies, from Bill Gates to Goldman Sachs, et al. We have to seek punishment for these men (and women) who have undermined the strength of our government and people with foreign alliances profitable only to them. We have to bring these treasonous persons to stand for their crimes. We have to use the Logan Act as it has never been used before and any and all other means to gain justice or face the consequences. That is Estulin’s message, loud and clear. Read it. See it.

Audit the Fed bill is now up to 186 cosponsors! Campaign For Liberty
Friday, June 5, 2009

Dear Friend of Liberty,Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed bill is now up to 186 cosponsors!
That means over 40% of the entire House of Representatives is currently signed onto HR 1207.And thanks to your hard work, Representative Dennis R. Rehberg is one of the 186 proud cosponsors.Not only has over forty percent of the House cosponsored HR 1207, but Barney Frank has even promised Ron Paul that he will hold hearings in the House Financial Services Committee.When these hearings occur in a few months, Ron wants to have a majority of House members on board . . . so there will be no stopping Audit the Fed.It is amazing what we’ve been able to accomplish in the House on the back of tireless grassroots efforts.

But now it is time to start thinking about the next step.

Pretty soon we will be turning our attention to the Senate, where we are certain to face a more difficult fight.There, corporate lobbyists and Beltway insiders wield even more powerful influence.Many Senators are already bought and sold by Wall Street bankers and their Federal Reserve flunkies.And the Banking Lobby is already pumping piles of cash into Senate campaign coffers in a preemptive stand against Federal Reserve transparency.Fortunately, Campaign for Liberty has been developing a grassroots program and a massive marketing campaign to counter the banksters’ efforts.
And we’re almost ready to launch. But it won’t be cheap, and we can’t afford to run out of gas before the job is done and Audit the Fed is passed.

Green & Lean: Austerity in the Age of Obama ,Environmentalism, Economic Downturn, National Service all emphasize the need for common sacrifice, cutbacks and sustainability Aaron Dykes / Jones Report | June 5, 2009

Ever noticed how the environmental crises and economic crises both prey upon the green of it all? The color of greed, jealousy, disease, Federal Reserve notes and trees. The marketing of both manufactured green crises have hinged around selling us on tightening our belts and buckling down for the big one.These global warming activists exemplify the new-fascism under Obama: the integration of environmentalism, green business and national service. The earth sign is integrated with the banker’s mantra too big to fail while the green helmets clearly sell the idea of service– service to the cap & trade profit schemes owned & operated by global warming’s biggest fearmonger, Al Gore.This blend of PR and predictive programming is clearly in play with Wal-Mart. Spokesmen in the MarketWatch article Wal-Mart to tap into new normal thrift consumer mentality makes clear that austerity is not only an economic imperative but also sustainable. The similarity to the buzzwords used to push environmental policies is no accident.Wal-Mart, one of the only firms anywhere to come out of the financial crisis stronger, made clear that its surge in new customers, traffic and sales it has gained from the economic downturn are permanent and sustainable.Chief executive Mike Duke added, There’s a new normal in which people want to save money.

Under the new era of economic degradation and depression austerity, life under slavemart is the new norm. The pride of American small business is over; consumer comforts too will be reduced; cheap plastic goods are the only affordable goods in this green age.Webster Tarpley, author of Obama: The Postmodern Coup and Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biography, warned months ahead of action by the Obama Administration that his entire agenda would be centered around the buzzword austerity–the idea that Americans must sacrifice in every way in the name of promised progress. Often enough, many initiatives will generate support under the green cover– anything green must be good.This has proved true in the issues emerging from the Obama-era– the environmentalism, (banker-led) economic and service movements. Curiously, the common thread is sold through an appeal towards common sacrifice.

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTALISM

The Club of Rome was clearly the most active think tank in the 1970s pushing the agenda for a reduced standard of living in the West. These elites have insisted in their key publication The Limits of Growth that Americans and Europeans must embrace drastic population reduction quotas, and that its people use and consume less in the name of its carefully-framed sustainability crisis. The fact that the group fearmongered then about global cooling and now fearmongers about global warming should be an indicator that its environmental concerns are phony. The green cover is a ruse disguising the elite’s push for severe eugenics policies. Volcker’s policy of de-industrialization in the 70s and 80s hinged on bringing America’s standard down.
We have all been told by the elites that our standard of living will be brought down. There’s little speculating that it has been an intentional plan; they’ve announced it all throughout the 1970s. The Club of Rome and top economists like Paul Volcker alike have both made clear that the limits of growth have been reached, and that first world westerners must be put back in balance– with cold scientific calculating– to the world’s mean (average).In 1979, Paul Volcker, then Chairman of the Federal Reserve during the Carter Administration, openly stated:The standard of living of the American worker has to decline,Volcker said.I don’t think you can escape that.Volcker was at the helm of the Trilateral Commission’s alarming Project 1980s plan for the controlled disintegration of the U.S. economy. A controlled disintegration in the world economy is a legitimate object for the 1980s… it was not by chance that starting the week of Oct. 6-12, 1979, Volcker began raising interest rates, by raising the federal funds rate and increasing certain categories of reserve requirements for commercial banks. He kept pushing rates upward, until, by December 1980, the prime lending rate of U.S. commercial banks reached 21.5%.Mike Duke, Wal-Mart Chief Executive, sounded an alarm signaling America’s shift to the world mean. The economic crisis has brought a fundamental shift in consumer attitudes and behavior.Wal-mart emphasizes that its new normal customer experience would center around remodeling, continued low prices, as well as focus on reducing waste and other sustainability efforts.What is good for the economic goose is good for the environmental gander; and what is good for the environment must be good for green entrepreneurs as well.

The double-speak of the phony environmental agenda for a reduced standard of living in the Western world is used to mutually reinforce any dictates coming from the financial sector or any calls for sacrifice under environmental pretexts. Because westerners use and consume too much, and therefore endanger the environment, carbon cuts or other measures must be accepted by all. The industrial base has destroyed been by the globalization model in which jobs are shipped out the back door and transferred to underdeveloped, autocratic slave wage nations. It’s no coincidence that the de-industrialization benefits firms with the Wal-Mart model the most. Today, in the name of the global warming crisis, the remaining factories are to be choked by cap & trade laws, while the profits of the cap & trade are transferred to an Al Gore owned & operated chain of interlocking for-profit green derivatives scheme firms that specializes in carbon credits trading.

What is green must first be profitable for green business and green jobs. SEE: Gore Denies that Ken Lay, Goldman Sachs CEOs Helped Develop C02 Trading Scheme: VIDEO
De-industrialist Volcker has now been brought back in the Obama-Federal Reserve Administration and serves on the President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board. Volcker has long headed firms representing both the Rothschild family and the Rockefeller family and is equally dedicated to their schemes in both banking and the green movement. Now, after Wall Street looters have been given extensive bailouts, collapsing car giants are required to shift major production to specialized green cars that have been little embraced by the public and show little hope of producing growth.Volcker’s gloomy calls for austerity have demonstrated that the policies of former Federal Reserve chairmen such as himself, Alan Greenspan and little Timmy Geithner, will not pull us out of this crisis under any easy terms. Volcker spent the opening weeks of the Obama Administration warning that this could be worse than the Great Depression.Wonder why the Federal Reserve greenback continues to lose value?

NATIONAL SERVICE

The agenda for mandatory servitude (or strongly-encouraged ‘volunteerism’) isn’t just the red jackets of City Year. Obama has made clear in speeches that he wants to form an energy corps to enforce emissions limitations on vehicles and to enforce power and lighting modifications in homes. All Americans will be asked to do more to use less.
Top presidential advisor David Gergen has helped push a coalition of more than 70 more-than-profit service groups– that cover the gamut of environmentalism, energy, green initiatives, education, business-ventures, emergency corps and more. Gergen has led the initiative for the service movement to seize upon the September 11th anniversary activities; now City Year and other groups are preparing to mobilize on 9/11/2009. During the 2008 election season, both candidates Obama and McCain attended a 9/11 ServiceNation forum which David Gergen helped put on. Obama used that platform to fully push the national service program he developed with WH Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.Everyone will have skin in the game, Obama told the nation’s viewers, as he called for young and old alike to sacrifice and serve their government. Obama elaborated on a desperately needed civilian expeditionary force to supplement military maneuvers in Afghanistan and other interventions. When asked about his motivation for service by fellow service-advocate, host and editor of TIME, Richard Stengel, Obama told us that it was 9/11 that gave him a vision for widespread national service. Politicians should have exploited the nation’s sentiment to help out, Obama assured us, instead of President Bush’s call for Americans to go shopping.

Curiously, David Gergen exploited the same expression at a Harvard lecture on service, blasting the Bush administration for wasting the 9/11 crisis on shopping when it could have been used to stimulate widespread service. Again, the ploy of using the terminology crisis against cash is surely not emphasized by accident.Green corps have already been organized in many varieties and similar groups. Once it was clear that Obama had the election momentum, CNN continuously covered the O Generation and its amorphous social movement. Footage in The Obama Deception shows two such girls wearing green shirts going door to door. Obama door-knockers have already been used in conjunction with the President’s private-parallel usaservice.org/service.gov, and his administration has only started.Mandatory national service is now being introduced into Congress, after it was stripped from the GIVE Act already passed earlier in his term.

Obama hopeful of Mideast peace progress this year By David Alexander and Madeline Chambers – Fri Jun 5, 11:17 am ET

DRESDEN, Germany (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama expressed hope on Friday of making serious progress in Middle East peacemaking this year and said Israelis and Palestinians had to get serious and make tough compromises.On a visit to Germany, Obama repeated his call for Israel to halt settlement expansion in the West Bank, but he also pushed the Palestinians to improve security and pressed Arab states to match any Israeli peace steps with confidence-building gestures.The Palestinians have to get serious about creating the security environment that is required for Israel to feel confident. Israelis are going to have to take some difficult steps,he said.

Obama, who sees Israeli-Palestinian progress as crucial to repairing the U.S. image in the Muslim world, was speaking a day after delivering a speech in Cairo in which he offered Muslims a new beginning with the United States.Germany is the third stop on a trip which started in Saudi Arabia. On Saturday, he will attend commemorations in France marking the 65th anniversary of the World War Two D-Day landings in France.

I am confident that if we stick with it ... we can make some serious progress this year,Obama said of the peace process at a news conference in Dresden with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.The moment is now for us to act on what we all know to be the truth, which is that each side is going to have to make some difficult compromises.After Dresden, Obama toured the site of the Buchenwald concentration camp, paying homage to the victims of the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews died.The visit will send a signal to Jerusalem that while he did not visit Israel on his maiden trip to the Middle East, its security is still central to U.S. foreign policy.

To this day we know there are those who insist the Holocaust never happened, a denial of a fact or truth that is baseless, ignorant and hateful. This place is the ultimate rebuke to such thoughts,Obama said, with Merkel and camp survivors Elie Wiesel and Bertrand Herz standing behind him.

UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY

Obama has made finding a solution to the protracted Israeli-Palestinian conflict a top foreign policy priority and has plunged into Middle East politics, often a quagmire for his predecessors, early in his presidency.Former President George W. Bush was seen as taking a hands-off approach to Middle East peacemaking until late in his administration. Muslims saw Bush as biased toward Israel.I believe with the new U.S. administration, with President Obama, there is a unique opportunity to see to it that the negotiation process is revived,Merkel said.Obama said he was concerned his recent comments on the need for Israel to accept a Palestinian state were getting a disproportionate amount of attention. Palestinians needed to take steps, too, he said.

We have still not seen a firm commitment from the Palestinian Authority that they can control some of the border areas that Israel is going to be concerned about if there was going to be a two-state solution,he said.If this was not solved, the Israelis would have trouble moving forward,Obama said.He called on Arab states to make some hard choices by opening up trade and offering diplomatic exchanges with Israel if it made tough commitments. Until now, Arab states have said Israel must fulfill its obligations under the 2003 road map peace plan before they will reciprocate. Along with the Middle East crisis, Obama and Merkel also discussed the nuclear stand-off with Iran, the global financial crisis, climate change and the fate of prisoners at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay. Obama is hugely popular in Germany, but relations between Washington and Berlin have been less than smooth since Obama took office in January. Facing an election in September, Merkel has resisted U.S. pressure to take inmates from Guantanamo and send more troops to Afghanistan. The brevity of Obama's stay in Germany and his decision not to go to Berlin led to German media speculation of a rift, but the president dismissed this as wild speculation.

UK leader under increasing pressure to go
ELITSA VUCHEVA 05.06.2009 @ 09:28 CET

Pressure on UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown to resign is growing, after another minister quit his government on Thursday (4 June) and with his Labour party expected to show a disastrous result in Thursday's EU and local elections.While announcing his own resignation, Work and Pensions Secretary James Purnell, who was seen as a moderniser and a possible leadership candidate, called on the prime minister to step down too.Dear Gordon ...I now believe your continued leadership makes a Conservative victory more, not less likely,he wrote in a letter made available to several British newspapers.I am therefore calling on you to stand aside to give our Party a fighting chance of winning. As such I am resigning from government,he added.A Downing Street spokesman told the BBC the prime minister was disappointed by the resignation of James Purnell.He said Mr Brown's focus over coming days would be restructuring the government on the big challenges facing the country for the future.Anonymous government sources said there was no chance the prime minister would resign.

Mr Purnell is the third cabinet minister to resign in the past three days.

Communities secretary Hazel Blears stepped down on Wednesday, following the recent revelations about MPs' abuses of the expenses system. Home secretary Jacqui Smith said she would go after a government reshuffle, which could take place as early as Friday, according to media reports.Mr Brown might also choose to wait until Monday, when the European elections results will be released, AFP writes.The reshuffle will be closely watched, as it may see other government ministers turn their backs on the premier. Finance minister Alistair Darling and foreign secretary David Miliband have made it clear they would like to keep their posts, so that moving them could have troublesome consequences.Mr Miliband has for now stressed he is not resigning and does not agree with his friend's [James Purnell's] decision,however.

Government falling apart

Reacting to Mr Purnell's move, opposition leader David Cameron said it was a death blow to the government and reiterated calls for an immediate general election.With this resignation, the argument for a general election has gone from being strong and powerful to completely unanswerable,the Conservative leader said.In a deep recession and a political crisis we need a strong united government. Instead we have a government falling apart in front of our eyes.The prospect of a snap general election and a potential Tory victory spells turbulence for Brussels, with Mr Cameron having promised to hold a referendum on the Lisbon treaty and to call for the EU to return powers to London. Meanwhile, senior Labour MP Barry Sheerman told the BBC there should be an internal vote in the party to see if Mr Brown should keep his post.

This goes far beyond just a few people, this is a large number of us who are really unhappy about the present situation,Mr Sheerman said.A draft letter signed by some 75 Labour MPs so far is due to be circulated on Friday calling on Mr Brown to resign.But the premier also has his supporters within the party, with former London mayor Ken Livingstone saying: I think he [the prime minister] is getting economic policy right and I really don't think a coup in the parliamentary party ...would do anything other than mean a landslide for the Tories.Meanwhile, the first results of Thursday's local elections – which took place at the same time as the UK's Euro vote – showed Labour would lose eight councillors in two councils to the benefit of the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.The European vote results will not be made known before Sunday however, together with the results of the other EU countries.Polls have indicated that Labour could be pushed into third place, after the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats, with some predicting it could even fall fourth, behind the UK Independence Party (UKIP).

Sharia Compliant Product Could Mean Trouble for AIG and Federal Government May 27, 2009 Thomas More Law Center ThomasMore.org

Trouble Brewing for AIG and Federal Government; Challenge of AIG Bailout Allowed to Proceed

ANN ARBOR, MI - Proclaiming that times of crisis do not justify departure from the Constitution, Federal District Court Judge Lawrence P. Zatkoff allowed the lawsuit against Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and the Federal Reserve Board challenging the AIG bailout to proceed. The lawsuit was filed last December by the Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and attorney David Yerushalmi, an expert in security transactions and Shariah-compliant financing. In his well-written and detailed analysis issued yesterday, Judge Zatkoff denied the request by the Obama administration's Department of Justice to dismiss the lawsuit. The request was filed on behalf of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and the Federal Reserve Board - the named defendants in the case. In his ruling, the judge held that the lawsuit sufficiently alleged a federal constitutional challenge to the use of taxpayer money to fund AIG's Islamic religious activities. Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented, "It is outrageous that AIG has been using taxpayer money to promote Islam and Shariah law, which potentially provides support for terrorist activities aimed at killing Americans. Shariah law is the same law championed by Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban. It is the same law that prompted the 9/11 terrorist attacks on our soil that killed thousands of innocent Americans. We won this skirmish. But the war to stop the federal government from funding Islam and Shariah-compliant financing is far from over.In its request to dismiss the lawsuit, the DOJ argued that the plaintiff in the case, Kevin Murray, who is a former Marine and a federal taxpayer, lacked standing to bring the action. And even if he did have standing, DOJ argued that the use of the bailout money to fund AIG's operations did not violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The court disagreed, noting, in relevant part, the following:

In this case, the fact that AIG is largely a secular entity is not dispositive: The question in an as-applied challenge is not whether the entity is of a religious character, but how it spends its grant. The circumstances of this case are historic, and the pressure upon the government to navigate this financial crisis is unfathomable. Times of crisis, however, do not justify departure from the Constitution. In this case, the United States government has a majority interest in AIG. AIG utilizes consolidated financing whereby all funds flow through a single port to support all of its activities, including Sharia-compliant financing. Pursuant to the EESA, the government has injected AIG with tens of billions of dollars, without restricting or tracking how this considerable sum of money is spent. At least two of AIG's subsidiary companies practice Sharia-compliant financing, one of which was unveiled after the influx of government cash. After using the $40 billion from the government to pay down the $85 billion credit facility, the credit facility retained $60 billion in available credit, suggesting that AIG did not use all $40 billion consistent with its press release. Finally, after the government acquired a majority interest in AIG and contributed substantial funds to AIG for operational purposes, the government co-sponsored a forum entitled Islamic Finance 101. These facts, taken together, raise a question of whether the government's involvement with AIG has created the effect of promoting religion and sufficiently raise Plaintiff's claim beyond the speculative level, warranting dismissal inappropriate at this stage in the proceedings.Click here to read Judge Zatkoff's entire ruling. The lawsuit, which was filed in December of last year in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, is a constitutional challenge to that portion of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) that appropriated $40 billion in taxpayer money to fund and financially support the federal government's majority ownership interest in AIG, which engages in Shariah-based Islamic religious activities that are anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish. According to the lawsuit,The use of these taxpayer funds to approve, promote, endorse, support, and fund these Shariah-based Islamic religious activities violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

The lawsuit was brought on behalf of Murray, a former Marine who served honorably in harm's way in Iraq to defend our country against Islamic terrorists. Murray objects to being forced as a taxpayer to contribute to the propagation of Islamic beliefs and practices predicated upon Shariah law, which is hostile to his Christian religion. He is being represented by Thomas More Law Center Trial Counsel Robert Muise and by David Yerushalmi, an associated attorney who is an expert in Shariah law and Shariah-compliant financing, as well as general counsel to the Center for Security Policy.

According to the lawsuit, through the use of taxpayer funds, the federal government acquired a majority ownership interest (nearly 80%) in AIG, and as part of the bailout, Congress appropriated and expended an additional $40 billion of taxpayer money to fund and financially support AIG and its financial activities. AIG, which is now a government owned company, engages in Shariah-compliant financing which subjects certain financial activities, including investments, to the dictates of Islamic law and the Islamic religion. This specifically includes any profits or interest obtained through such financial activities. AIG itself describes Sharia as Islamic law based on the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet [Mohammed].With the aid of taxpayer funds provided by Congress, AIG employs a Shariah Supervisory Committee,which is comprised of the following members: Sheikh Nizam Yaquby from Bahrain, Dr. Mohammed Ali Elgari from Saudi Arabia, and Dr. Muhammed Imran Ashraf Usmani from Pakistan. Dr. Usmani is the son, student, and dedicated disciple of Mufti Taqi Usmani, who is the leading Shariah authority for Shariah-compliant finance in the world and the author of a book translated into English in 1999 that includes an entire chapter dedicated to explaining why a Western Muslim must engage in violent jihad against his own country or government. According to AIG, the role of its Shariah authority is to review our operations, supervise its development of Islamic products, and determine Shariah compliance of these products and our investments.An important element of Shariah-compliant financing is a form of obligatory charitable contribution called zakat, which is a religious tax for assisting those that struggle [jihad] for Allah. The amount of this tax is between 2.5% and 20%, depending upon the source of the wealth. The zakat religious tax is used to financially support Islamic charities, some of which have ties to terrorist organizations that are hostile to the United States and all other infidels,which includes Christians and Jews. The Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, an example of an Islamic charity that qualifies for receipt of the zakat, was recently convicted by a federal jury for providing millions of dollars to Islamic terrorist organizations. As a direct consequence of the taxpayer funds appropriated and expended to purchase and financially support AIG, the federal government is now the owner of a corporation engaged in the business of collecting religious taxes to fund interests adverse to the United States, Christians, Jews, and all other infidels under Islamic law.

December 16, 2008 Federal lawsuit filed to stop bailout funds going to group that promotes Sharia Finance

This lawsuit is as much about protecting constitutional principles as it is about protecting our national security and preventing another 9/11 – whether it be overt through flying planes into buildings or covert through appropriating taxpayer money to fund an Islamic cultural jihad.David Yerushalmi and and the Thomas More Law Center are on the case. Federal Lawsuit Filed Against Treasury Secretary to Stop AIG Bailout Financing of Terrorist Activities,from SANE, December 15:

ANN ARBOR, MI – A federal lawsuit was filed this morning against U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr. and the Federal Reserve Board to stop all bailout funds from going to American International Group, Inc. (AIG). According to the lawsuit, the U.S. government, through its ownership of AIG, is not only violating the Constitution, but also promoting and financing the destruction of America using American tax dollars.The basis of the lawsuit is that AIG intentionally promotes Shariah-compliant businesses and insurance products, which by necessity must comply with the 1200 year old body of Islamic cannon law based on the Quran, which demands the conversion, subjugation, or destruction of the infidel West, including the United States. To help achieve these objectives and with the aid of federal tax dollars, AIG employs a three-person Shariah Advisory Board, with members from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Pakistan. According to AIG, the role of its Shariah authority is to review [its] operations, supervise its development of Islamic products, and determine Shariah compliance of these products and [its] investments.Of particular significance is the Pakistani Board member, Dr. Muhammed Imran Ashraf Usmani. Dr. Usmani is the son and devoted disciple of Sheik Mufti Taqi Usmani, the leading authority on Shariah financing who, in 1999, authored a book dedicating an entire chapter on why a Western Muslim must engage in violent jihad against his own country – even if Muslims are given equality and freedom to practice their religion and to proselytize. The lawsuit was filed in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of Kevin J. Murray, a former Marine infantryman who served two tours of duty in Iraq. Murray is represented by the Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and David Yerushalmi, an associated attorney who specializes in litigation and is an expert on Shariah law and Shariah compliant financing. Mr. Yerushalmi also serves as general counsel to the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C.According to the lawsuit, use of taxpayer funds to acquire ownership of a business that intentionally promotes, endorses, supports, and funds Shariah-based Islamic religious practices violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented, This lawsuit not only raises significant constitutional issues, it also shines a light on serious national security issues that our own government has created by direct financial support and ownership of a business that supports anti-American, radical Islamic activities. Make no mistake, there is an internal cultural jihad underway against our great nation, and I fear that many of our political leaders are unwittingly complicit in it.On September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists, guided by principles of Shariah-mandated jihad against infidels,attacked and killed thousands of innocent American civilians. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. went on the offensive by engaging Islamic terrorists overseas in Iraq and in Afghanistan. As in the past when our Nation faced great crisis, American servicemen were called to action, and Kevin Murray answered the call. From March to October 2003, Murray – a U.S. Marine – was deployed overseas in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.Yet today, Murray’s federal tax dollars are being used to advance the very cause of global jihad he and his fellow servicemen were placed in harm’s way to overcome. Shariah explicitly demands the murder of infidels like Kevin Murray and the destruction of the United States, which Murray took an oath to defend. Shariah is the same law that is used to justify beheadings, stonings, and amputation for petty crimes in places like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Sudan, which Americans deplore.Nevertheless, AIG acknowledges and boasts its promotion of Shariah law and Shariah-based business practices. AIG itself describes Sharia as Islamic law based on the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet [Mohammed].In further support of the federal government’s endorsement of Shariah, the U.S. Treasury department co-sponsored a seminar in November of this year entitled Islamic Financing 101 to promote Shariah financing among American institutions. The Seminar was jointly sponsored by Harvard University, one of the many American universities and colleges receiving millions of dollars from oil-producing countries to influence their Middle East programs, which are often staffed with professors who are anti-American, anti-Israeli, and pro-Islamic.It is clear,said Thompson, oil money is purchasing the sovereignty of the United States and whatever loyalty to America these greedy financial institutions, corporations, and universities have left. It’s up to the American people to take back their country from those who so easily betray its interests.

The federal lawsuit challenges that portion of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 that appropriated $40 billion in taxpayer money to fund and financially support the United States government’s majority ownership interest in AIG, which engages in Shariah-based Islamic religious activities that are anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, and anti-American. According to the lawsuit, through the use of taxpayer funds, the U.S. government acquired a majority (79.9%) ownership interest in AIG, and as part of the bailout, Congress appropriated and expended an additional $40 billion of taxpayer money to fund and financially support AIG and its financial activities. AIG, which is now a government owned company, engages in Shariah-compliant financing, which subjects certain financial activities, including investments, to the dictates of Islamic law and the Islamic religion. This specifically includes any profits or interest obtained through such financial activities. An important element of Shariah-compliant financing is a form of obligatory charitable contribution called zakat, which is a religious tax for assisting those that struggle [jihad] for Allah.The amount of this tax is between 2.5% and 20%, depending upon the source of the wealth. The zakat religious tax is used to financially support Islamic charities,some of which have ties to terrorist organizations that are hostile to the United States and all other infidels,which includes Christians and Jews.The Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, recently convicted for providing material support to Islamic terrorist organizations, is an example of an Islamic charity that qualifies for receipt of the zakat. Thus, as a direct consequence of the taxpayer funds appropriated and expended to purchase and financially support AIG, the U.S. government is now the owner of a corporation engaged in the business of collecting religious taxes to fund interests adverse to the United States, Christians, Jews, and all other infidels under Islamic law.Continued Thompson,This lawsuit is as much about protecting constitutional principles as it is about protecting our national security and preventing another 9/11 – whether it be overt through flying planes into buildings or covert through appropriating taxpayer money to fund an Islamic cultural jihad.Posted by Robert at December 16, 2008 4:05 PM

UN: New uranium traces found in Syria By GEORGE JAHN, Associated Press Writer – Fri Jun 5, 5:14 pm ET

VIENNA – The U.N nuclear agency on Friday reported its second unexplained find of uranium particles at a Syrian nuclear site, in a probe launched by suspicions that a remote desert site hit by Israeli warplanes was a nearly finished plutonium producing reactor.In a separate report, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran continued to expand its uranium enrichment program despite three sets of U.N. Security Council sanctions meant to pressure Tehran into freezing such activities.And it said the growing pace of enrichment is causing it to review its inspection routine so that it can maintain oversight of the process.Iran and Syria are under IAEA investigation — Tehran, since revelations more than six years ago of undeclared nuclear activities that could be used to make weapons, and Syria after Israel bombed a structure in 2006 said by the U.S. to be a reactor built with North Korean help.

But the agency has made little progress for over a year in both cases, and both of the restricted reports made available to The Associated Press on Friday essentially confirmed the status quo — stonewalling by both countries of the two separate IAEA probes.Iran says its nuclear activities are peaceful; Damascus denies hiding any nuclear program.In order for the agency to complete its assessment, Syria needs to be more cooperative and transparent,said the IAEA in a document that detailed repeated attempts by agency inspectors to press for renewed inspections and documents — all turned down by Damascus.Drawing heavily on language of previous reports, the Iran document said Tehran has not cooperated with the agency ... which gives rise to concerns and which need to be clarified to exclude the possibility of military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program.The report noted that Tehran continued to rebuff agency efforts to investigate suspicions the Islamic Republic had at least planned to make nuclear weapons.Without cooperation by the Islamic Republic, the IAEA will not be in a position to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran,the report said.Syria and Iran are to come under renewed scrutiny when the 35-nation board of the agency meets June 15 to discuss the two reports.While the Syrian report was prepared only for the board members, the one on Iran also was transmitted Friday to the Security Council, which for more than three years has tried to pressure Tehran to give up enrichment and other activities of concern.Tehran says it is exercising its right to develop nuclear power in expanding its enrichment program. But the U.S. other great powers and dozens of additional countries fear Iran might at some point shift from producing low enriched uranium needed for nuclear fuel to making highly enriched matter suitable for use in the core of nuclear warheads.The IAEA's Iran report reflected continued expansion both in the terms of the equipment in use or being set up and the amount of enriched uranium being turned out by those machines — centrifuges that spin uranium gas into enriched material.

Nearly 5,000 centrifuges were processing uranium gas at the Natanz facility as of May 31, said the report, while more than 2,000 others were ready for operation. More than nearly 3,000 pounds — 1,300 kilograms — of low enriched uranium had been produced as of that date, said the more than four-page report.That compares to just over 2,220 pounds (1,000 kilograms) mentioned in the last IAEA report in February an amount that experts and U.S. officials subsequently said was enough to process into enough weapons grade uranium for a nuclear warhead.Commenting on the Iran report, the Washington based Institute for Science and International Security said that at the present pace of production of enriched uranium, Tehran could make two nuclear weapons — should it choose to do so — within eight months.The report said inspectors have told Tehran that given the increased number of ... (centrifuges) being installed and the increased rate of production ... improvements to the containment and surveillance measures are needed. A senior U.N official said the IAEA was considering redirecting surveillance equipment and asking Iranian nuclear staff to change their walking routes through the underground Natanz facility as part of the changes. He demanded anonymity in exchange for commenting on the confidential report. Reversing the previous U.S. stance, the Obama administration has said it is ready to talk one-on-one with Iranian officials on the nuclear issue. Obama himself has said Tehran has the right to benefit from nuclear power — as long as all proliferation concerns are put to rest. But President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly said his country will not negotiate on its right to enrichment.On Syria, the agency said the newest traces of uranium were found after months of analysis in environmental samples taken last year of a small experimental reactor in Damascus.It already reported a similar finding in February at a separate site — at or near the building bombed by Israel more than two years ago. As in the case of the earlier find, the uranium particles are of a type not included in Syria's declared inventory of nuclear material, said the report, saying their origin and potential significance still "needs to be understood.It also said Syria continued to deny cooperation with North Korea in building its nuclear program.

Ex-nuke negotiator calls Ahmadinejad a demagogue By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer - Fri Jun 5, 4:18 pm ET

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's former nuclear negotiator accused hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of distorting facts about the country's nuclear past to make himself look like a hero and win votes in next week's election.Hasan Rowhani, who negotiated a 2003deal with Europe to suspend Iran's controversial uranium enrichment program, also called Ahmadinejad a demagogue for claiming his administration was behind all of Iran's nuclear success.In comments posted Friday on a Web site belonging to Rowhani's think tank, The Center for Strategic Research, the ex-negotiator said Ahmadinejad's hard-line policies harmed Iran's reputation and led to three rounds of U.N. sanctions against Iran.Is it dignity that economic sanctions are imposed against Iran? Rowhani asked.The criticism is part of the verbal dueling before the June 12 presidential election, in which Ahmadinejad faces a tough challenge from three other contenders, including two reformists who favor better ties with the West.Using language similar to Rowhani's, the president's main challenger, pro-reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, accused Ahmadinejad of driving Iran toward dictatorship in an election debate on Wednesday.Ahmadinejad said reformists humiliated Iran because they halted all the nuclear work under the 2003 deal.The reformists say this is not true and that only uranium enrichment was stopped. They say it was a temporary step that saved Iran from U.N. punishment, while allowing it to continue to develop other parts of its nuclear program.

Unfortunately, some of the president's statements are so ridiculous and baseless that they don't deserve a response, Rowhani said.Ahmadinejad's campaign has touted Iran's nuclear progress in efforts to deflect criticism of his handling of the country's economy, something his opponents have honed in on.Rowhani is a moderate with close ties to former President Hashemi Rafsanjani, a top cleric who held the presidency from 1989-97.Ahmadinejad recently denounced the 2003 deal under his predecessor, Mohammad Khatami, as disgraceful.After coming to power in 2005, Ahmadinejad resumed uranium enrichment, which the U.S. and its allies fear Iran intends to use to make nuclear arms — a charge Tehran denies. Uranium enrichment can produce fuel for nuclear power plants or material for a bomb.I don't know why the gentleman insists on distorting facts ... for the sake of obtaining a few more votes or making himself look like a hero, Rowhani said, referring to Ahmadinejad.Harsh words won't help win votes,he added.Demagoguery no longer works.Rowhani defended the 2003 suspension as wise because it came amid intense pressure by the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency and fears that Washington could move against Tehran after toppling the extremist Taliban regime in Afghanistan and former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.Khatami, who ran the country between 1997-2005, has already demanded an apology from Ahmadinejad for calling the 2003 deal disgraceful and for saying Khatami played into colonial policies designed by Iran's enemies bent on finishing the Iranian nation.Khatami and Rafsanjani are not running in the election, but their criticism of Ahmadinejad has added to the president's troubles during the campaign. Ahmadinejad's chief reformist rivals are: Mousavi, a former prime minister in 80s, and Mahdi Karroubi, a former parliamentary speaker. The sole conservative challenger to Ahmadinejad is Mohsen Rezaei, a former Revolutionary Guards commander.

Counterterrorism officials have stated that they believe Al Qaeda terrorists are seeking to align themselves with anti-government groups in the US in order to carry out mass casualty attacks.The suggestion dovetails with recent Department of Homeland security documents that equate with violent terrorists those who champion States’ rights over the authority of the Federal government.Al Qaeda is looking to exploit weaknesses in U.S. border security and also is willing to ally itself with white militia groups or other anti-government entities interested in carrying out an attack inside the United States, according to counterterrorism officials… a report by The Washington Times states.The officials, who spoke only on the condition they not be named, have pointed to a grainy video, first aired by the Arabic news network Al Jazeera in February, of supposed veteran Al Qaeda recruiter Abdullah al-Nafisi saying that the terrorists should essentially hook up with disgruntled militia groups in the US.These militias even think about bombing nuclear plants within the U.S.,al-Nafisi is quoted as saying.May God grant them success, even though we are not white, or even close to it, right? They have plans to bomb the nuclear plant at Lake Michigan. This plant is very important. … May God grant success to one of these militia leaders, who is thinking about bombing this plant. I believe that we should devote part of our prayers to him.al-Nafisi also suggests that biological weapons, capable of killing hundreds of thousands, could be smuggled into the US through tunnels under the Mexican border.Given that the government has made it clear that it sees little difference between white supremacist groups and Americans who still believe in the first and second amendments, this does not bode well.

Of course, there is no actual evidence that any militia group is plotting to blow up nuclear plants or is in league with Al-CIA-da, neither is there any credible evidence that the phantom terrorist group has the capability to carry out a mass biological attack.No matter, what this does is continue to set the precedent for the authorities to blame the next major attack on those that disagree with their policies and the actions in the name of fighting the war on terror.From the reports of White Al Qaeda to homegrown terrorists, we have seen the emergence of an ongoing agenda to foment some kind of connection between foreign terrorists hell bent on attacking and killing Americans, and US citizens protesting and speaking out against the erosion of their constitutional rights. The prime example of this is the recently leaked DHS report, entitled Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment (PDF link).The document characterizes concerns about the economy, unemployment, the loss of U.S. sovereignty and the move towards global government as rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet which itself is defined as a potential tool for terrorists to network, build bombs, and send encrypted messages to each other.It also lists gun owners, veterans, and those opposed to abortion or immigration as potential extremists.A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines rightwing extremism in the United States as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.Republican Representatives have demanded answers from the Department of Homeland Security over the origins of the report. Their demands remain unanswered.A further disturbing DHS security document emerged last month. Entitled Domestic Extremism Lexicon, it shockingly lists the alternative media with other radical extremist groups and implies that people who disagree with the mass media’s version of events are potential domestic terrorists.These reports exist in addition to countless other documents, such as the MIAC report, intended to train police nationwide that supporters of presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr are militia influenced terrorists.The singling out in this way of Americans who merely talk about the U.S. constitution, the loss of national sovereignty or the erosion of the Bill of Rights, should act as a wake-up call and prompt more people to expose the tyranny unfolding before their eyes.

Obama keeps leaders at arm's length on Europe trip
VALENTINA POP 05.06.2009 @ 09:28 CET

EUOBSERVER/BRUSSELS – US President Barack Obama is set to have a brief and rather chilly encounter with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday (5 June) and the French president one day later, after France failed to invite the British Queen to the upcoming D-Day anniversary.The main focus of president Obama's current foreign trip was the re-conciliation speech with the Muslim world held in Cairo on Thursday, where he set some new tones in the US foreign policy towards the Middle East and adopted a tougher stance on Israel.Against this backdrop, his weekend stops in Germany and France, commemorating the end of the second World War, look rather polite, but distant, especially after French President Nicolas Sarkozy refused to invite the British Queen to the World War II ceremonies he will be hosting on Saturday on the Normandy beaches.Mr Obama's spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Monday the US was working to get the Queen invited, as she was at the previous ceremonies marking 60 years since D-Day. On Tuesday, Prince Charles's office announced he had received a French invitation and would go instead, along with Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Canadian premier Stephen Harper and US filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.In return, the US president, arriving in Paris on Friday evening, where he will be joined by his wife Michelle and two daughters, has declined a dinner invitation with the Sarkozys on top of the Eiffel tower. Sarkozy has pulled off a double hit: insulting Queen Elizabeth and exasperating Obama,the weekly Canard Enchaine said on Wednesday. According to Le Figaro, Mr Obama was reluctant to spend too much time with the French leader ahead of the EU elections on Sunday.On Wednesday, popular comedian Nicolas Canteloup did an impression of Mr Sarkozy being worried that he had only two days to become tall, handsome and elegant.But Mr Obama is also keeping a cool stance towards German Chancellor Angela Merkel. He declined her attempts to have him stop in Berlin or Weimar during this trip. This has prompted media speculation of a chill in US-German relations, particularly since the G20 and NATO summits, where Ms Merkel refused to mirror the US stimulus package and to commit more troops to Afghanistan.

Woes over the embattled car industry, especially Opel, are also said to be souring the Washington-Berlin relationship.The White House emphasized the private nature of Mr Obama's visit to Germany, mainly aimed at paying homage to the liberation by the US army of the Nazi concentration camp in Buchenwaldt. Mr Obama's grand-uncle was one of the soldiers participating in the liberation.According to Spiegel Online, the chancellor's office is now trying to secure Mr Obama's presence at the commemoration of the fall of the Berlin Wall later this autumn.The US president will then also visit the US military hospital in Landstuhl, where soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan are treated.

Vatican visits CERN's Big Bang machine Fri Jun 5, 4:55 pm ET

GENEVA – A senior Vatican delegation visited the world's biggest nuclear physics laboratory, proclaiming that true faith has no problems with science.The Roman Catholic Church was represented by Cardinal Giovanni Lajolo, Vatican City's governor, as it toured the CERN facility and its 17-mile (27-kilometer) proton accelerator this week. It welcomed any breakthroughs physicists could provide on understanding the basis of the universe, and said they would also advance religion.The Church never fears the truth of science, because we are convinced that all truth comes from God, Cardinal Giovanni Lajolo, Vatican City's governor, said Thursday in Geneva.Science will help our faith to purify itself. And faith at the same time will be able to broaden the horizons of man, who cannot just enclose himself in the horizons of science.Lajolo spoke a day after visiting the laboratory beneath the Swiss-French border and receiving a crash course in particle physics from Edward Witten, a professor at the School of Natural Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, at the forefront of attempts to unify Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity with quantum mechanics.CERN's atom smasher, the world's largest, is seen as vital in this quest. Physicists hope soon to use the $10 billion machine to smash protons from hydrogen atoms crash into each other at high energy, record what particles are produced and gain a better idea of the makeup of the universe and everything in it.Damages in the initial startup last September have set the project back a year and it is expected to be turned on again this autumn. Researchers hope the collisions will show on a tiny scale what happened one-trillionth of a second after the so-called Big Bang, which many scientists theorize was the massive explosion that formed the universe. The theory holds that the universe was rapidly cooling at that stage and matter was changing quickly.Lajolo said scientific truths could correct some of our opinions about scripture and faith. He said nothing in science could contradict the Holy Scriptures — only interpretations — because both were rooted in God.(This version CORRECTS Witten a professor at School of Natural Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study sted Princeton University.)

Canada jobless rate spikes to 11-year high in May By Louise Egan – Fri Jun 5, 9:19 am ET

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada's unemployment rate spiked to an 11-year high in May as the worst recession since World War Two led to massive lay-offs in the factories of Ontario, once the country's manufacturing powerhouse.Statistics Canada said on Friday the net job losses in May totaled 41,800 and the unemployment rate jumped to 8.4 percent from 8.0 percent in April.The number of factory jobs in the province of Ontario, the manufacturing hub, fell to its lowest level since 1976 when record-keeping began, the federal agency said with the auto sector suffering the worst losses.The data was worse than expected, triggering an immediate drop in the Canadian dollar. The report comes as manufacturers are being hammered by an unprecedented rise in the value of the currency against the U.S. dollar, which hurts exports.Analysts surveyed by Reuters had predicted employers would drop 33,000 staff from payrolls and the jobless rate would rise to 8.2 percent.Worse than expected report ... Obviously Ontario's economy is taking the brunt of the sharp downturn in exports and the restructuring in the auto sector,said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.The Canadian dollar weakened slightly to around C$1.1033, or 90.64 U.S. cents, from around C$1.1022, or 90.73 U.S. cents, just before the data.The swift appreciation of the Canadian dollar, which jumped 9.3 percent against the U.S. dollar in May and touched an eight-year high earlier this month -- prompted a warning from the Bank of Canada on Thursday.The bank said the currency's strength could erase any early signs of economic recovery.The currency concerns combined with larger-than-expected job losses, which could pinch consumer spending further, may force the central bank to rethink its view that no unconventional action is required to boost the economy, now that it has cut rates to their lower limit of 0.25 percent.

Still, economists said that moment had not yet arrived.

For the Bank of Canada, I don't know if there's anything all that profound,said Eric Lascelles, chief economics and rates strategist at TD Securities.Lascelles said the unexpected jump in employment in April was an outlier.Anyone was dreaming in Technicolor if they thought we were going to continue to see 36,000 job gains on a monthly basis. The realist would have expected a return back to this sort of outcome, he said.Job losses were all in full-time positions, while part-time employment increased slightly.In addition to factory job losses totaling 58,400 in the month, the transportation and warehousing sector also saw a sharp decline of 15,700 employees. The only notable increase in employment was in public administration, up 19,000.Wages for permanent employees gained 3.2 percent in May compared with May 2008, down sharply from a 4.3 percent increase in April.(Additional reporting by Jennifer Kwan and Scott Anderson in Toronto)(Editing by Theodore d'Afflisio)

Commission criticises Dutch for early results publication
VALENTINA POP 05.06.2009 @ 15:00 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – The European Commission on Friday asked the Dutch authorities for clarification regarding the publication of preliminary results in the Netherlands ahead of 7 June, when the results of all 27 member states are supposed to be announced.Dutch media cited preliminary results on Thursday evening after the Netherlands closed its ballot boxes, indicating an unexpected boost of the far-right, which came in second with almost 17 percent of the votes, while the ruling Christian-Democratic party came in first with 20 percent.The Dutch, along with the UK, were the first to go to the polls, with the Irish and Czechs voting today (5 June) and the rest of the member states over the weekend. Results are supposed to be announced at 10pm on Sunday.There is a ban on the publication of any results ahead of 7 June, be they preliminary, partial or complete. These results cannot be released to the media or pollsters until the elections. This does not prevent the media to take stock and publish private exit polls, EU commission spokesman Amadeu Altafaj said at a press conference on Friday.But he refused to speculate on potential sanctions the commission could apply. In general, any breach of EU legislation is referred to the European Court of Justice.During the last EU elections in 2004, Dutch authorities escaped a so-called infringement procedure after releasing unofficial results. They cited national legislation which requires authorities to release partial results as soon as they are available.The events that took place in the Netherlands yesterday seem not to comply with the spirit of the European elections. They're supposed to go beyond the purely national aspects. If we want citizens to understand the European nature of these elections, we think it's absolutely essential that we release the results in all countries at the same time, also in order not to influence the vote in the countries which have not voted yet – and that at the moment is 25 out of the 27 member states,Mr Altafaj added.

A spokesman for the Dutch ministry of Interior confirmed on Friday that his government was currently discussing with the EU commission and would give explanations on the publication of early results.When we have elections, we consider that voters have the right to find out the results rapidly. It's not a matter of official results, these are early and incomplete counts,Tijs Manten, spokesman for the ministry of Interior told AFP.The final results would be published on Tuesday by the electoral council, he added.An EU source quoted by the French news agency on Thursday said that this time round the commission is seriously considering opening an infringement procedure, unlike in 2004.

Cool reception to compulsory EU sharing of asylum burden
ELITSA VUCHEVA 05.06.2009 @ 08:41 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – Italy, which has been under fire for its treatment of migrants in particular since in May it forcibly returned hundreds of people intercepted in its territorial waters to Libya, has called for obligatory burden sharing among EU member states when it comes to taking in asylum seekers. On Thursday (4 June), EU interior ministers meeting in Luxembourg discussed how to tackle the increasing number of migrants coming from the Mediterranean, especially to particular member states such as Italy and Malta.Italian interior minister Roberto Maroni, a member of the anti-immigrant Northern League, said before the meeting that proposals made recently by the European Commission in that respect were interesting, but ... not sufficient.We asked for obligatory burden sharing, the proposal foresees a voluntary system ... so those who don't want to needn't take in any refugees, Mr Maroni told journalists.In an interview with the Financial Times on the same day, Lawrence Gonzi, the prime minister of Malta – the small island state of some 400,000 people in the Mediterranean Sea – also re-iterated calls for more help from the European Union.But while Mediterranean countries also including Greece and Cyprus have repeatedly called for more action at EU level, northern member states have been rather reluctant.

Voluntary assistance

A consensus on putting in place an obligatory burden-sharing system seems unlikely for now, the Czech EU presidency indicated.Some ministers ... said they would welcome an obligatory system. On the other hand, other countries have problems with that, Czech interior minister Martin Pecina said at a press conference in Luxembourg.There will be probably some help offered on a voluntary basis,he said, adding that large member states had already indicated they could provide some assistance.EU justice commissioner Jacques Barrot also underlined that all efforts at solidarity will be on voluntary basis.He added that his office would draw up a pilot proposal that will help Malta deal with the increasing number of migrants arriving on its soil.That intra-community relocation programme would also be on a voluntary basis,he stressed.

Meanwhile, some member states insisted that taking in larger numbers of migrants would not deal fundamentally with the issue of Africans coming to Europe.There is no quick fix to the problems at the southern sea border and the Mediterranean as a whole: we have to work with long-term goals, we have to see to it that we develop good co-operation with countries of transit and origin,said Swedish interior minister Tobias Billstrom, whose country will take over the EU's rotating presidency next month.His German counterpart, Wolfgang Schaeuble, said that the situation would not change so long as the main driver of migration, namely poverty in the migrants' countries, is not been addressed.We can't solve the problem of poverty by bringing them all into Europe,Mr Schaeuble was quoted as saying by German news agency DPA.

NGOs slam Italy

The bloc's ministers were also set to discuss measures aimed at creating a common system for asylum-seekers across the EU that were presented by the European Commission in December and approved by MEPs last month.Ahead of the meeting, human right groups called on EU states to set high standards of protection for refugees and asylum seekers, and were especially critical of the actions recently taken by Italy.

States have a legitimate right to control their borders. However, forcibly returning people to countries where they possibly face serious violations of their human rights and may be pushed further back into the hands of their persecutors contravenes international law,the European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE) – a network of 69refugee-assisting organisations in 30 European countries, said on Wednesday.Since fundamental rights are part of the EU's founding principles, member states violating them risk a suspension of certain rights derived from membership of the EU,it warned.

Human rights NGO Amnesty International and the European Network Against Racism (ENAR) issued similar statements.The Italian government's decision in May to return migrants to Libya without any assessment of their protection needs ... is in clear violation of international human rights standards and the EU and its member states must urgently call on Italy to put an immediate end to such policies,ENAR said.The EU has the potential and the capacity to develop a Common European Asylum System that could serve as a model to other regions in the world. It is time for the EU to live up to expectations and to ensure that the right to asylum is respected in practice,said Nicolas Beger, director of Amnesty International's EU Office.The discussions on the new European legislation in the field of asylum and refugee protection will not lead to any immediate result, however. Nothing is expected to be given a final approval for many months to come, making it unlikely for the EU to update its asylum policy before 2012.
