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.

EU embryonic Home Office set up in secret talks under Lisbon Treaty Plans for an embryonic EU Home Office to organise intelligence sharing and lead the fight against terrorism and crime were agreed in secret talks last week, The Sunday Telegraph has learned.By Bruno Waterfield in Brussels Published: 7:30AM BST 04 Oct 2009

Acting under a little-noticed section of the Lisbon Treaty, officials set up a Standing Committee on Internal Security (Cosi) to implement what is effectively the the EU's first ever internal security policy.Under the plans, the scope of information available to law enforcement agencies and public security organisations would be extended from the sharing of DNA and fingerprint databases, kept and stored for new digital generation ID cards, to include CCTV footage and material gathered from internet surveillance.The Czechs who stand between the EU and the Lisbon Treaty Cosi will coordinate policy between national forces and EU organisations such as Europol, the Frontex borders agency, the European Gendarmerie Force and the Brussels intelligence sharing Joint Situation Centre, under measures known as the Stockholm programme.It will sharply step up collaboration among member states' police forces.

The new commitee echoes similar moves a decade ago which led to the fully-fledged EU diplomatic service, now enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty, with an EU equivalent of the Foreign Secretary.Critics fear that Cosi - whose establishment was agreed by national ambassadors to the EU, meeting in private - will eventually also evolve into a full-scale Home Office for the EU, with authority over member states' police and security services.Tony Bunyan, of the European Civil Liberties Network, warned that Cosi was a step towards an eventual EU Home Office or interior ministry without any democratic control. He added:It is outrageous that the role of the new EU internal security committee has been decided in secret. If Cosi becomes a high-level legislative body, as well being in charge of operational matters, a whole swathe of decision-making and practice will be removed from democratic debate.The treaty states:A standing committee shall be set up within the Council in order to ensure that operational cooperation on internal security is promoted and strengthened within the Union.Insiders say that this was left intentionally vague.An official involved in talks said: Sometimes it is better not to spell things out too much in order to keep flexibility and to allow officials, in this case senior police and security people, the creativity of a blank slate.

Blair under attack in bid for EU top job-EU capitals have begun a high stakes game for the new power jobs (Photo: Flickr.com)VALENTINA POP Today OCT 5,09 @ 10:06 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Eurogroup chief Jean Claude Juncker and the British Conservative party have attacked Tony Blair's bid to become the first EU president, as member states start horse-trading for the EU's top jobs after Ireland's Lisbon Treaty vote.Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen on Sunday (4 October) openly backed former British premier Mr Blair to take up the prestigious post once the treaty comes into force.I've certainly the highest regard for Tony Blair and obviously we await and see if, in fact, he's a candidate, but you can take it that we'd be very supportive yes,he said.Mr Cowen is the first EU leader to make a public statement on the issue. But Mr Blair is also said to have the support of French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.The British Conservatives over the weekend launched a counter-offensive, however, with Luxembourg premier Jean-Claude Juncker, himself once floated as a potential candidate, also sticking in the knife.

William Hague, the Conservative shadow foreign secretary, told The Times that he was lobbying in Paris and Berlin against Mr Blair, whose appointment would trigger an anti-EU backlash in the UK ahead of a potential Tory-orchetsrated referendum on Lisbon.There could be no worse way to sell the EU to the people of Britain,he said.A front page story in the mass-selling tabloid, The Sun, on Monday said Mr Blair would earn €4 million plus perks in an article which seemed designed to further damage his bid.Jean Claude Juncker, the Prime Minister of Luxembourg and the head of the Eurogroup, the 16 EU states which use the euro, also came out against the former British leader.The interests of small EU states would be threatened if the the first EU president came from a big member state,he told Financial Times Deutschland.The first EU president should have strong pro-EU credentials, so that it wouldn't be a surprise if he was himself appointed as Europe's first voice, Mr Juncker added, alluding to the fact Mr Blair did little to bring the UK closer to Europe on issues such as the single currency.Snubbed by Mr Sarkozy for having allegedly done too little during the financial crisis, Mr Juncker's own bid for the EU top job is unlikely to fly, however.Even within Conservative circles, there is a feeling that Mr Blair is "too big to fail" and that he would not have let his name have go forward unless he had assurances to secure the post.Meanwhile, another potential candidate for the president post, Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, is out of the running after Dutch European minister Frans Timmermans said on Sunday The Hague will not put forward a nominee.

Foreign minister

Meanwhile, French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner has signalled he would be interested in another plum job to be created under the Lisbon Treaty: the post of EU foreign minister and European Commission vice president. The Elysee itself is not giving Mr Kouchner a clear run at the post, with French EU affairs minister Pierre Lellouche over the weekend floating two other names, Hubert Vedrine and Michel Barnier.Mr Vedrine was foreign minister under President Francois Mitterand and a staunch opponent of the war in Iraq. Mr Barnier is a former EU commissioner and now an MEP.Germany is also eyeing the foreign minister job for its current interior minister, Wolfgang Schauble, according to The Times. The German press says he is unwilling to leave the country however, with German centre-right MEP Elmar Brok is aiming at a high-level EU commission portfolio instead.Germany's outgoing foreign minister, Frank Walter Steinmeier, is unlikely to go forward because he is damaged goods after a severe election defeat and because he is seen as too pro-Russian by former Communist EU states.Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt is seen as too anti-Russian and too young by some EU officials, while Paris and Berlin have some reserves about his pro-Turkey Stance. Moreover, a Danish appointment as head of Nato has already used up the Nordic countries' quota of top appointments.

Irish vote sends Tony Blair racing to EU presidency-Germany and France aim to be kingmakers as revitalised European Union prepares to give former PM Blair the top jobToby Helm The Observer, Sunday 4 October 2009 Article history

European leaders led by Angela Merkel of Germany and Nicolas Sarkozy of France will act swiftly to make the EU's reform charter a reality after Ireland's Yes vote, despite the lone resistance of Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic.The strong endorsement of the Lisbon treaty by the Irish after eight years of divisive attempts to rewrite the EU's rule book, has sparked the jockeying for position over the plum jobs that it creates, with Tony Blair now a clear favourite to become the first permanent EU president.The posts of president of the council and that of a new foreign policy chief with enhanced powers are among the biggest changes under the treaty. But the appointments will not be made in isolation. Who gets what will be intricately linked to the share-out of portfolios in the new European Commission, which will be strongly debated in the coming weeks.In the end, it will be one large package which attempts to give every member state something to boast about,said an EU official.Fredrik Reinfeldt, the Swedish prime minister and current EU president, is already canvassing names behind the scenes, trying to engineer a consensus on who should fill the two top posts.

Blair's interest in becoming president has been Europe's worst-kept secret for more than a year. One of the great ironies of Lisbon is that it was born at a time when European leaders were vowing – following the collapse of its predecessor, the Constitutional Treaty – to create a Europe closer to the people.Yet its first official, permanent president of the council will be chosen in the least democratic of ways – behind closed doors by the 27 EU heads of state and government and without any of the candidates having campaigned before the court of public opinion.If you come out campaigning and saying you want it, that could be seen by heads of government as stepping out of line,said a UK insider.They see it as their call. A campaign would give your opponents an opportunity to mount their own campaign against you.So Blair has been running a non-campaign campaign for months. He has not said he wants the job, but neither has he said he does not. Friends have discreetly sounded out opinion on the diplomatic circuit on his behalf. Having reported back their qualified enthusiasm, he has allowed his hat to enter the ring without actively lobbing it in.Headlines last week saying that Blair was in pole position to become president have been treated with suspicion by some Labour MPs who want him to get the job, as well as by some commentators.They believe they are part of a spoiling operation by a Murdoch press which is moving ever closer to David Cameron and that sees such stories as a way to stir up opposition to the Blair candidacy.

However, the reality is that close supporters of Blair genuinely believe that he is, as one very senior figure put it, pretty well-placed and are now prepared to advance his case more actively. They know that few important decisions are reached in the EU, even in an expanded community of 27 member states, without a French-German seal of approval.And British officials now feel that, following her re-election as German chancellor, Merkel can afford to enthuse about a president Blair. During her election campaign it was difficult for Merkel to hint in any way that the former British prime minister might be the best candidate. There is still deep resentment among Germany's political classes and its public at Blair's support for the Iraq war, and he is seen as having failed to stamp his pro-European mark on UK policy when prime minister.The UK's position outside the eurozone does him no favours either in a country in which the onward march of integration is seen as a moral, as well as a political, imperative.But with Merkel's position reinforced, Blair's supporters are confident, having taken soundings, that she will now team up with Sarkozy, the first European leader to suggest Blair would be good for the job.One British government source said that France and Germany probably would unite behind Blair for the simple reason that he is such a big name and would make Europe matter.

With German-American relations on the mend since the election of Barack Obama, Blair's transatlantic enthusiasms, his environmental interests and Middle Eastern contacts would all be key assets in the task of punching Europe's weight across the globe.Reinfeldt wants nominations for the two jobs by the end of the month, when an EU summit in Brussels should decide on a consensus. There are even calls in Brussels for a meeting of EU leaders sooner, but this appears unlikely.The job description is a blank page. It must go to a former or serving head of government or state in Europe and he or she will chair summits of European leaders. Strangely, what else he or she does is unclear.Senior diplomats say it will be up to whoever gets the job to shape it. Seldom has such a prestigious and influential position been established with the detail, role, and powers left so vague.Whoever is installed, there will be frictions with José Manuel Barroso, the European Commission president, who has just obtained a second five-year term, and with the leaders of the various countries at the helm of the six-monthly rotating EU presidency.José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero of Spain is next in line for the Buggins-turn commission presidency in January and is not keen on being overshadowed by a president Blair.Reinfeldt is also known to have his reservations about Blair, worried that the interests of the EU's smaller countries will receive short shrift if the new president comes from one of the EU's big four – Germany, France, Britain and Italy.

Other names in the frame are Jan-Peter Balkenende, the Christian democrat Dutch prime minister, Paavo Lipponen, the former Finnish premier, a social democrat, Felipe González, the centre-left former Spanish leader, and Jean-Claude Juncker, the veteran Luxembourg prime minister, who is a conservative.The horse trading is complex, needing to marry jobs with candidates from north and south, big and small countries, the centre-right and the centre-left.More immediately, all eyes in Brussels, Berlin, and Paris shifted last night from Dublin to Prague where president Vaclav Klaus now stands alone between the Irish referendum and getting the treaty up and running.Klaus relishes the attention. He is the most Eurosceptic leader in office in the EU. He argues that Brussels is the new Moscow, the European Union a successor to the Soviet Union. He insists he will not sign off on a Lisbon treaty, which has already been ratified by the Czech parliament.Sarkozy is fuming; Merkel is trying not to show her impatience. The only leader in Europe supporting Klaus is Cameron, who would have to stage a British referendum and kill the treaty if he entered Downing Street next year with the Czech president still blocking.It is unlikely to come to that, although Lisbon's fate could still turn into a race against the British electoral clock.Klaus' allies in the Czech upper house have just deposited a complaint about the treaty in the constitutional court. The Czech government assured EU officials on Friday that it was aiming to get the court to rule quickly, within a matter of weeks, and pleaded with the big pro-Lisbon camp not to put pressure on the Czechs. Was Sarkozy listening? But Klaus is highly unpredictable, a loner, and nearing the end of his career with little to lose. He thinks he is on a mission to save European democracy and the nation state.

Meanwhile, Blair is said by some to have had some reservations about the presidency post, chief among them that he would earn less money than he does now giving speeches and other private work, and that the job would involve a lot of bureaucratic grind. But he would still earn about £250,000 a year with generous EU tax allowances, have a staff of at least 20 and a splendid Brussels residence. The post would be for an initial two-and-a-half years, renewable once.It would place him back not just at the heart of European politics but in the middle of intriguing battles involving British prime ministers past and present if, as now looks highly likely, Cameron enters Downing Street committed to wresting back power from the EU.

Irish vote unleashes flurry of EU activity
HONOR MAHONY 03.10.2009 @ 16:56 CET

EUOBSERVER / DUBLIN - Ireland's strong support for the EU treaty in its second referendum has sparked widespread relief in Brussels as well as a flurry of activity as European politicians consider the next moves for complete ratification of the treaty.Thank you Ireland! It's a great day for Ireland; it's a great day for Europe, said European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso, noticeably sporting a green tie.Fredrik Reinfeldt, Swedish leader and currently head of the EU, congratulated Irish voters on the result after all the uncertainty and hard work.The Irish people have spoken with a clear and resounding voice, said a relieved Irish prime minister, Brian Cowen, the fate of whose unpopular coalition government was linked to the outcome of the treaty vote.He called the Irish vote a declaration of intent to remain at the heart of Europe.The final vote showed that 67.1 percent voted in favour of the new rules while 32.9 percent voted against, a 20 percent swing to the Yes side, when compared to the country's rejection of the EU treaty last year. Turnout was 58 percent.With the vote now in the bag, the focus has already switched to the practicalities of implementing the Lisbon Treaty and particularly to the presidents of Poland and the Czech Republic. Their signatures under the treaty, which has already been passed in the parliaments in Warsaw and Prague, are needed for the new rules to come into force across the 27 nation club.Polish President Lech Kaczynski's office has already indicated that he will sign the document soon leaving his Czech counterpart Vaclav Klaus as the likely biggest opponent to the treaty.The pressure has already started to get him to sign. Mr Barroso said our member states have practically approved the Lisbon Treaty before adding that he thought that Mr Klaus would sign the Treaty in the end.Mr Reinfeldt, for his part, said he had managed to speak to many European leaders on Saturday but not Mr Klaus. I have tried to reach him, but it has not been possible.

What next?

The Czech president's delay affects a series of other decisions including the formation of the new commission, whose term expires at the end of the month and the appointment of the beefed-up EU foreign policy chief and permanent president of the European Council, new posts created by the treaty.Mr Barroso said that as soon as the treaty is ready he would be ready to form a new commission.But both the current commission's term as well as the current EU foreign policy chief's term can be extended if needed, said Mr Reinfeldt.It [the commission's mandate] can be prolonged after 1 November. It has happened on earlier occasions. One should also keep in mind that the high representative, who we have for the time being, [Javier] Solana, has a mandate that expires on 17 October. So also in his case there could be a continuation.Mr Barroso, Mr Reinfeldt and the Czech prime minister Jan Fischer will meet in Brussels on Wednesday to decide the next steps and discuss the situation with MEPs.Swedish Europe minister Cecilia Malmstrom is to be dispatched to Prague on Wednesday to assess the situation.Mr Klaus, meanwhile, said he thought it was wrong that the Irish had voted to give the EU the right answer,although he said that it rests for him to respect the outcome.He added: But my signature is not the order of the day. I will wait for the Constitutional Court's verdict.Czech senators handed a complaint to the court about the treaty last week. The court is expected in three weeks' time to set a date for a public hearing on the case. The hearing is likely to take place towards the end of November.

Glimmer of doubt over Polish ratification of Lisbon Treaty
ANDREW RETTMAN Today OCT 5,09 @ 17:21 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A senior aide of Polish President Lech Kaczynski has indicated that he will delay signature of the Lisbon Treaty, amid calls from his party to use the pact for political leverage.The president's chief of staff, Wladyslaw Stasiak, in an interview on Polish national radio on Monday (5 October) said Mr Kaczynski is in no hurry to sign.He linked the ratification to Mr Kaczynski's proposals to give the Polish parliament oversight powers over the Polish government in its dealings with Brussels, along the lines of recent reforms in Germany.You should only make haste, as they used to say, when catching fleas, Mr Stasiak joked.It worked out very well in Germany, and we've talked about this for a long time in Poland as well, so it would worthwhile to do it.A member of Mr Kaczynki's Law and Justice party, Zbigniew Girzynski, in a separate interview for Newsweek magazine said he should hold out for extra EU funds and a powerful European Commission portfolio for Poland.

Let's squeeze as much as possible out of Brussels,he said.The president's men had earlier promised he would sign in the next few days after Ireland's Yes vote, with Sweden keen to have Polish ratification in the bag ahead of its summit on EU institutional matters on 29 October.I believe the President takes his work more seriously than his aides do. It's his decision and in the end I think he will sign quite promptly,Poland's EU affairs minister, Mikolaj Dowgielewicz, told EUobserver.

Poland is hoping to install economist and former centre-right MEP Janusz Lewandowski as the next EU budget commissioner.But with the top two jobs envisaged in the Lisbon Treaty - the new EU president and EU foreign relations chief - out of its reach, it is also keen to demarcate the limits of the new officials' powers. Mr Dowgielewicz said Poland has already drafted legal proposals on the subject, which it may circulate as early as next week. He declined to give details, but suggested that Warsaw is keen to clip their wings.It may be useful to have a consultation mechanism between the [new] council president, the prime minister of the rotating presidency and the European Commission president, he said.We have to recognise that the Polish minister of finance or agriculture will only take instructions from his prime minister. He will not take instructions from the president of the council.Meanwhile, Czech President Vaclav Klaus on Monday faced extra pressure to put his name to the Lisbon Treaty after a SANEP poll said 53 percent of Czechs would vote Yes if they had a referendum on the pact.

British party sets out stall

The threat of a UK referendum also receded after the Conservative party said it would push for a public consultation on parts of the treaty instead of a total revote if the treaty is already in force when the Tories come into power. It's certainly the case that you could put key parts of this treaty to the people and you could certainly find out what people thought about it,Conservative Party leader David Cameron told the BBC.We have gone past the stage of trying to turn the EU into something that it isn't. If we ask for British opt-outs, British derogations, on certain issues, I think there is quite a lot to be decided there,eurosceptic Tory MEP Daniel Hannan told British radio.The Conservative opt-out wish list is to include EU social and employment law and justice and home affairs rules.

FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU What Temple? Fatah says only a Muslim holy site U.S. partner demands Jews, Christians be banned from praying on Mount October 04, 2009 4:35 pm Eastern By Aaron Klein 2009 WorldNetDaily

Temple Mount in Jerusalem

JERUSALEM – The Temple Mount does not exist alongside the Western Wall, and neither Jews nor Christians should be allowed to pray on the Mount site, Dimitri Diliani, the spokesman for Fatah in Jerusalem, told WND in an interview. Fatah, once named by the U.S. as a Mideast peace partner,is the party led by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Diliani spoke hours after Fatah and PA officials were accused of inciting a riot on the Temple Mount, claiming Jews were threatening the site.Don't use the term Temple Mount,Diliani lectured WND.It doesn't exist. I don't know where it is. I cannot see any Temple. Can you? No one can find any trace of it. The area you refer to is only a Muslim holy site.The PA, though, has found evidence of Judaism's historic connection to the Mount – the holiest site in Judaism. The Waqf, the Islamic custodians of the Mount, conducted an unsupervised excavation on the site in 1997. At that time, the Waqf, working under the guidance of the PA, ultimately were caught by Israeli authorities disposing truckloads of Mount dirt that contained Jewish Temple artifacts. To this day, Israeli archeologists are still sifting through the large amount of dirt, in which scores of Jewish Temple relics were found.Diliani did not deny Fatah and the PA were involved in yesterday's Temple Mount riots.Palestinian political factions, including Fatah, are firm on defending the political, national and religious rights of the Palestinian people,Diliani said, and it's evident now we will continue defending the Al Aqsa Mosque as well as our rights in Jerusalem as a whole.Diliani did not specify exactly which Jews were threatening the Temple Mount.

Yesterday, Israeli security forces released from custody Jerusalem's senior Fatah official, Khatem Abed Al-Kadr, who had been detained on suspicion of inciting riots. Al-Kadr was released on condition that he not enter the Old City of Jerusalem. He also must remain at least 250 meters from the area gates for 15 days. Yesterday's riots featured about 150 Palestinian protesters hurling rocks and bottles at Israeli police after Israel barred men between the ages of 18 and 45 from ascending the site that day. The order came after the PA and an Al Aqsa Mosque activist group, the Islamic Movement, called on Arabs to ascend the site yesterday to defend it against Jewish threats.The PA's involvement with the Mount riots come after the Palestinian public has expressed disapproval with a decision by Abbas to call for the delay of a U.N. Human Rights Council vote regarding a U.N. report that accused both Israel and Hamas of war crimes during the Jewish state's defensive war in Gaza in December and January.That U.N. report, authored by South African judge Richard Goldstone, has been slammed here as anti-Israel. The report equates Israel, which worked to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza, to Hamas, a terrorist organization that utilized civilians as human shields and fired rockets at Jewish population centers from Palestinian hospitals and apartment buildings.Israeli security officials, speaking with WND, said Abbas likely was using the Temple Mount clashes to incite against Israel and deflect Palestinian outcry, including from Hamas, stemming from his agreement to delay the U.N. vote.Yesterday's riots followed similar violence on the Mount last Friday. Those clashes followed a three-way meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Obama and PA President Mahmoud Abbas.During his speech to the U.N. General Assembly days before the Mount riots last week, Obama used strongly worded language to call for the creation of a viable, independent Palestinian state with contiguous territory that ends the occupation that began in 1967.The term occupation routinely is used by the Palestinians as well as some countries hostile to the Jewish state in reference to Israel's presence in the West Bank and Jerusalem. It is unusual for U.S. presidents to use the term, although Jimmy Carter once famously called Israel's presence in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem illegal.Occupation that began in 1967 is a specific reference to the lands Israel retained after the Six Day War of that year, particularly the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount.

Mubarak urges Israel to resume peace talks Sun Oct 4, 4:47 pm ET

CAIRO – Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak urged Israel to resume peace talks with the Palestinians where they broke off more than a year ago, warning that the peace process can't take another failure.Israeli-Palestinian negotiations tapered off last year and haven't resumed since last winter's war in Gaza and the election of Benjamin Netanyahu as Israeli prime minister. Since then, the two sides have yet to establish a framework to renew talks. The Palestinians want to pick up where negotiations left off, while the hawkish Netanyahu says he is not bound by any concessions his more dovish predecessor made.But in an interview published Sunday, Mubarak called on Israel to respond positively to the renewed push for peace and resume talks where they left off.It is unreasonable and unacceptable to start from zero," Mubarak told the Armed Forces newspaper. I told (Israel) that ... settlements are eating away Palestinian land and must stop immediately.Mubarak's comments were part of a wide ranging interview published days ahead of the 36th anniversary of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war that opened the way for the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty six years later.U.S. President Barack Obama has spearheaded renewed efforts to bring the Israelis and Palestinians back to the negotiating table, but key sticking points remain.The Palestinians say talks should resume where they left off, and want a complete freeze of Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank.Israel has agreed to slow settlement building, but has rejected a total halt to construction. Israel had pledged to stop settlement building in a 2003 U.S.-backed peace plan, but has not done so, claiming that the Palestinians have not carried out their obligations.Mubarak said he was optimistic that U.S. efforts would bring the two sides back to the table and would usher in wider regional talks to settle the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The region is rife with crises, conflicts and tension,Mubarak said.The Middle East will remain a region of instability in the absence of a peaceful and just settlement to the Palestinian issue. The situation is critical, and the peace process ... can't take another failure.Mubarak urged Israel to reconsider the way it deals with the Palestinians and Arabs to ensure a return to normal relations in the region.Israel must take a big step like the total halt to settlement and achieving tangible results in peace negotiations before talking of any Arab gestures, initiatives or step toward it,he said.

U.N. mystery tied to financial corruption Sources: Cell phone scandal behind shocking Palestinian request October 04, 2009 5:41 pm Eastern By Aaron Klein
© 2009 WorldNetDaily

Mahmoud Abbas

JERUSALEM – Financial corruption involving a cellular phone company and his two sons may be at the center of an unexpected request by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to delay a United Nations vote regarding a report accusing Israel of war crimes.According to Israeli diplomatic sources, Abbas' decision was made under heavy pressure from the Obama administration, which feared a U.N. vote could delay the resumption of negotiations to create a Palestinian state.Palestinian diplomatic sources, however, speaking to WND on condition of anonymity, say Abbas was also under a different kind of pressure that impacted the finances of his two sons, Yasser and Tareq.Through a third party, the sons are major shareholders in a Al Wataniya, a new national Palestinian cellular phone company attempting to get the necessary permits from Israel to launch.Israeli sources confirmed getting scores of recent requests from Abbas' office for Israel to withdraw objections to the Wataniya bid, which would make the company the second Palestinian cellular phone company after Jawal, a private Palestinian cellular service. Israel says Wataniya's requested cellular frequency has legal and security problems.

Palestinian diplomatic sources told WND that Israel warned Abbas it would not approve Wataniya's licensing requests if the PA continues to press war crimes charges at the U.N. The Israelis said, Don't ask from us every day for licensing and codes [for Wataniya] and then accuse us of bring war criminals. On the one hand you ask us for favors and on other hand you blame us as criminals,said a PA source.The U.N. report, authored by South African judge Richard Goldstone, claimed both Hamas and Israel were guilty of war crimes during the Jewish state's defensive war in Gaza this past December and January. The war was started after Hamas refused to extend a cease fire, instead launching a rocket offensive against Israeli population centers.

The U.N. report has been slammed here as anti-Israel. The report equates Israel, which worked to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza, to Hamas, a terrorist organization that utilized civilians as human shields and fired rockets at Jewish cities from Palestinian hospitals and apartment buildings.During the Gaza war, Israel sent hundreds of thousands of text messages and placed tens of thousands of calls warning local Palestinians of incoming attacks against Hamas' military infrastructure in Gaza.Abbas's request that the U.N. Human Rights Council delay its vote on the Goldstone report shocked both Hamas and the Palestinian public.It is notable that immediately after Abbas made public his objection to the U.N. vote, the first protest resignation came from Bassem Khoury, the PA's economic minister. Sources close to Khoury told WND the minister did not resign to protest Abbas' political move, but because he received signals that if the Wataniya matter became known, Khoury would be publicly blamed for pressuring the PA into opposing the U.N. vote to soothe the way for Wataniya's approval.

From The Sunday Times October 4, 2009-Israel names Russians helping Iran build nuclear bomb Uzi Mahanimi in Tel Aviv, Mark Franchetti and Jon Swain

Israel's prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, has handed the Kremlin a list of Russian scientists believed by the Israelis to be helping Iran to develop a nuclear warhead. He is said to have delivered the list during a mysterious visit to Moscow.

Netanyahu flew to the Russian capital with Uzi Arad, his national security adviser, last month in a private jet. His office claimed he was in Israel, visiting a secret military establishment at the time. It later emerged that he was holding talks with Vladimir Putin, the Russian prime minister, and President Dmitry Medvedev.We have heard that Netanyahu came with a list and concrete evidence showing that Russians are helping the Iranians to develop a bomb,said a source close to the Russian defence minister last week.That is why it was kept secret. The point is not to embarrass Moscow, rather to spur it into action.Israeli sources said it was a short, tense meeting at which Netanyahu named the Russian experts said to be assisting Iran in its nuclear programme. In western capitals the latest claims were treated with caution. American and British officials argued that the involvement of freelance Russian scientists belonged to the past.American officials said concern about Russian experts acting without official approval, had been raised by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in a report more than a year ago.There has been Russian help. It is not the government, it is individuals, at least one helping Iran on weaponisation activities and it is worrisome,said David Albright, a former weapons inspector who is president of the Institute for Science and International Security.

However, Israeli officials insist that any Russian scientists working in Iran could do so only with official approval.Robert Einhorn, the special adviser for non-proliferation and arms control to Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, is understood to believe that Russian companies have also supplied material that has been used by Iran in the production of ballistic missiles.The disclosures came as Iran agreed at talks in Geneva to submit to IAEA inspections of its newly disclosed enrichment plant, which is being built under a mountain on a military base at Qom. Iran revealed the plant to the IAEA to pre-empt being caught out by an imminent announcement from western governments, which had discovered its existence.The West says the plant is tailor-made for a secret weapons programme and proves Iran’s claim that its nuclear programme is intended only for peaceful purposes is a lie. The plant is designed to hold 3,000 centrifuges — enough to produce the material needed for one bomb a year.Iran’s conduct over the next few weeks will determine whether the West continues its new dialogue or is compelled to increase pressure with tougher United Nations and other sanctions.Ephraim Sneh, a former Israeli deputy defence minister, warned that time was running out for action to stop the programme. If no crippling sanctions are introduced by Christmas, Israel will strike, he said. If we are left alone, we will act alone.A key test for the West will be whether Iran allows IAEA inspectors unfettered access to the Qom plant. Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the IAEA, was in Tehran this weekend to discuss this and Iran’s agreement, in principle, to ship most of its current stocks of low-enriched uranium to Russia so it can be used in medical research. President Barack Obama has told Iran he wants to see concrete results within two weeks.

While there is consensus in the West that Iran is trying to acquire the capability to build a weapon, the progress of its weaponisation programme is a matter of fierce debate among intelligence agencies.The Americans believe secret work to develop a nuclear warhead stopped in 2003. British, French and German intelligence believe it was either continuing or has restarted. The Israelis believe the Iranians have cold-tested a nuclear warhead, without fissile material, for its Shahab-3B and Sejjil-2 rockets at Parchin, a top-secret military complex southeast of Tehran. The vast site is officially dedicated to the research, development and production of ammunition, rockets and explosives. Satellite imagery as early as 2003 has shown Parchin to be suitable for research into the development of a nuclear weapon, say western experts.

The Shahab-3B, which the Iranians test-fired last Monday, is capable of carrying a 2,200lb warhead. Its 1,250-mile range puts parts of Europe, Israel and US bases in the Middle East within its reach.According to the Israelis, Russian scientists may have been responsible for the nuclear warhead design. But western experts have also pointed the finger at North Korea.Additional reporting:Michael Smith, Christina Lamb.

IAEA officials say Iran has sufficient info to produce atom bomb Sunday, 04 October 2009 06:20 News from Jerusalem .enough knowledge to build a nuclear warhead
Senior staff members of the United Nations nuclear agency have concluded in a confidential analysis that Iran has acquired sufficient information to be able to design and produce a workable atom bomb.

The report by experts in the International Atomic Energy Agency stresses in its introduction that its conclusions are tentative and subject to further confirmation of the evidence, which it says came from intelligence agencies and its own investigations.But the report’s conclusions, described by senior European officials, go well beyond the public positions taken by several governments, including the United States.Two years ago, American intelligence agencies published a detailed report concluding that Tehran halted its efforts to design a nuclear weapon in 2003. But in recent months, Britain has joined France, Germany and Israel in disputing that conclusion, saying the work has been resumed.A senior American official said last week that the United States was now re-evaluating its 2007 conclusions.The atomic agency’s report also presents evidence that beyond improving upon bomb-making information gathered from rogue nuclear experts around the world, Iran has done extensive research and testing on how to fashion the components of a weapon. It does not say how far that work has progressed.

The report, titled Possible Military Dimensions of Iran’s Nuclear Program,was produced in consultation with a range of nuclear weapons experts inside and outside the agency. It draws a picture of a complex program, run by Iran’s Ministry of Defense,aimed at the development of a nuclear payload to be delivered using the Shahab 3 missile system,Iran’s medium-range missile, which can strike the Middle East and parts of Europe. The program, according to the report, apparently began in early 2002.If Iran is designing a warhead, that would represent only part of the complex process of making nuclear arms. Engineering studies would have to turn ideas into hardware. Finally, the hardest part would be enriching the uranium that could be used as nuclear fuel — though experts say Iran has already mastered that task.

While the analysis represents the judgment of the nuclear agency’s senior staff, a struggle has erupted in recent months over whether to make it public. The dispute pits the agency’s departing director, Mohamed ElBaradei, against his own staff and against foreign governments eager to intensify pressure on Iran.Dr. ElBaradei has long been reluctant to adopt a confrontational strategy on Iran, an approach he sees as counterproductive. Responding to calls for the report’s release, he has raised doubts about its completeness and reliability.Last month, the agency issued an unusual statement cautioning it has no concrete proof that Iran ever sought to make nuclear arms, much less to perfect a warhead. On Saturday in India, Dr. ElBaradei was quoted as saying that a major question about the authenticity of the evidence kept his agency from making any judgment at all on whether Iran had ever sought to design a nuclear warhead.Even so, the emerging sense in the intelligence world that Iran has solved the major nuclear design problems poses a new diplomatic challenge for President Obama and his allies.American officials say that in the direct negotiations with Iran that began last week, it will be vital to get the country to open all of its suspected sites to international inspectors. That is a long list, topped by the underground nuclear enrichment center under construction near Qum that was revealed 10 days ago.Iran has acknowledged that the underground facility is intended as a nuclear enrichment center, but says the fuel it makes will be used solely to produce nuclear power and medical isotopes. It was kept heavily protected, Iranian officials said, to ward off potential attacks.Iran said last week that it would allow inspectors to visit the site this month. In the past three years, amid mounting evidence of a possible military dimension to its nuclear program, Iran has denied the agency wide access to installations, documents and personnel.In recent weeks, there have been leaks about the internal report, perhaps intended to press Dr. ElBaradei into releasing it.

The report’s existence has been rumored for months, and The Associated Press, saying it had seen a copy, reported fragments of it in September. On Friday, more detailed excerpts appeared on the Web site of the Institute for Science and International Security, run by David Albright, a nuclear expert.In recent interviews, a senior European official familiar with the contents of the full report described it to The New York Times. He confirmed that Mr. Albright’s excerpts were authentic. The excerpts were drawn from a 67-page version of the report written earlier this year and since revised and lengthened, the official said; its main conclusions remain unchanged.This is a running summary of where we are,the official said.But there is some loose language,he added, and it was not ready for publication as an official document.Most dramatically, the report says the agency assesses that Iran has sufficient information to be able to design and produce a workable implosion nuclear device based on highly enriched uranium.Weapons based on the principle of implosion are considered advanced models compared with the simple gun-type bomb that the United States dropped on Hiroshima. They use a blast wave from a sphere of conventional explosives to compress a ball of bomb fuel into a supercritical mass, starting the atomic chain reaction and progressing to the fiery blast. Implosion designs, compact by nature, are considered necessary for making nuclear warheads small and powerful enough to fit atop a missile.

The excerpts also suggest that Iran has done much research and testing to perfect nuclear arms, like making high-voltage detonators, firing test explosives and designing warheads.The evidence underlying these conclusions is not new: Some of it was reported in a confidential presentation to many nations in early 2008 by the agency’s chief inspector, Ollie Heinonen.Iran maintains that its scientists have never conducted research on how to make a warhead and that any documents to the contrary are fraudulent.But in August, a public report to the board of the I.A.E.A. by its staff concluded that the evidence of Iran’s alleged military activity was probably genuine.It said the information contained in that documentation appears to have been derived from multiple sources over different periods of time, appears to be generally consistent, and is sufficiently comprehensive and detailed that it needs to be addressed by Iran with a view to removing the doubts about the nature of its nuclear program.The agency’s tentative analysis also says that Iran most likely obtained the needed information for designing and building an implosion bomb from external sources and then adapted the information to its own needs.It said nothing specific about the external sources,but many intelligence agencies assume that Iran obtained a bomb design from A. Q. Khan, the rogue Pakistani black marketer who sold it machines to enrich uranium. That information may have been supplemented by a Russian nuclear weapons scientist who visited Iran often, investigators say.The I.A.E.A.’s internal report concluded that the staff believed that non-nuclear experiments conducted in Iran would give confidence that the implosion system would function correctly.NYT.

FROM WHY ISRAEL CAN'T WAIT Excerpt: Evidence Iran building nuclear weapons
Temporary cessation of program a tactic borrowed from prophet Muhammad September 30, 2009 1:00 am Eastern By Jerome R. Corsi 2009 WorldNetDaily

This is the third of several excepts exclusive to WND from WND senior staff reporter Jerome R. Corsi's new book entitled Why Israel Can't Wait: The Coming War Between Israel and Iran,available from WND Books.What evidence is there that Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons program? On June 17, the BBC reported that Mohammed ElBaradei, in an interview with the BBC's Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen, said,It is my gut feeling that Iran would like to have the technology to enable it to have nuclear weapons, if it decides to do so.This was the first time ElBaradei had gone so far as to deny that the sole purpose of Iran's nuclear program was to generate electricity.[The Iranians] want to send a message to their neighbors, to the rest of the world, don't mess with us,ElBaradei continued.But the ultimate aim of Iran, as I understand it, is that they want to be recognized as a major power in the Middle East.This is to them the road to get that recognition, to get that power and prestige,the IAEA head continued.It is also an insurance policy against what they have heard in the past about regime change.The BBC also reported that Ali Ashgar Soltanieh, Iran's ambassador to the IAEA said ElBaradei was absolutely wrong.We don't have any intention of having nuclear weapons at all,Soltanieh told reporters. But we are going to have nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. We will continue fuel-cycle activities without any interruption because Iran has a legitimate need.

Iran has used the IAEA's term fuel cycle as code language justifying Iran's right as a signatory of the Non-Proliferation Treaty to develop nuclear fuel for peaceful purposes. Since the Bush administration, Iran has rejected U.N. – and IAEA – supported offers from Russia to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. Instead, Iran has insisted upon the right to enrich uranium in Iran under Iranian direction and management as part of the nation's right to the full fuel cycle.

National Intelligence Estimate

In November 2007, the combined intelligence agencies of the United States issued a surprising National Intelligence Estimate that reported with high confidence that Iran stopped its nuclear weapons program in the fall of 2003. Nonetheless, a statement by ElBaradei published on the IAEA website on June 15 suggested Iran has resumed its nuclear-weapons program since that date.Although sixteen U.S. intelligence agencies said Iran stopped alleged work on nuclear studies in 2003, we do not know whether it has stopped or not,ElBaradei said.We continue to receive new information. We also do not know whether the information is authentic or not.Israeli intelligence is also convinced that Iran stopped its nuclear weapons program in the fall of 2003 and also that Iran resumed the weapons program shortly after that time. Two former Mossad heads confirmed this point in private interviews held in Israel in June.Danny Yaalon, director general of Mossad from 1996 to 1998 and chief of staff for Prime Minister Ehud Barak from 1991 to 2001, unequivocally asserted that Iran is currently pursuing a nuclear-weapons program. Shabtai Shavit, director general of Mossad from 1989 to 1996, agreed. Shavit attributed Iran's temporary cessation of the nuclear program to hudna,a word in Arabic that means truce or armistice.The concept, Shavit explained, was that hudna is considered a tactical cessation of hostilities that Islamic law authorizes in times of stress such that the continuing world struggle can be resumed more aggressively once circumstances return to being more favorable.When Iran realized the United States was willing to send 150,000 troops to Iraq, Iran was frightened the U.S. would not hesitate to go onto Iran, Shavit explained.This decision was based on the concept of hudna.

Gen. Yaalon also agreed.If we have to look back to what is the best strategy to deal with Iran today, there was a precedent and we have to look back to 2003,Yaalon told the author.Then Ayatollah Khamenei decided to suspend Iran's nuclear-weapons operation for a while.When questioned directly on this issue, Yaalon insisted a second time that Israeli intelligence supported the conclusion that Iran did stop their nuclear program for a while in 2003. The U.S. National Intelligence Estimate was correct in that Iran stopped the nuclear program in 2003, but the NIE neglected to mention that by 2006, Iran renewed their nuclear-weapons program at a higher level.Why did Iran suspend the program? Because in 2003, the American strategy of the Bush administration after 9/11 was an offensive strategy of pre-emption,he explained.Phase One was Afghanistan and Phase Two was Iraq,he continued.The main question among rogue leaders in the region was this: Who might be next? At that point Libya's Muammar Qaddafi decided to give up his nuclear project. And at that point Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei decided not to give any excuse to President Bush to attack.This, to Yaalon, made an important point that Iran was susceptible to international pressure, as long as the international pressure included a credible threat that Iran would suffer serious harm if Iran refused to comply.So, for those who claim the military option is not an option, there is no way to discuss any issue with the Iranian regime or with any other extremist in the region without having a credible military option as a very big stick,he stressed.You might achieve the same effect by economic sanctions of sufficient magnitude that the Iranian regime would be threatened with economic collapse. But there is no way to convince Iran to stop their nuclear-weapons program without a very big stick.

Iran advances nuke program - A credible nuclear program must have three components:

1. A source of weapons-grade enriched uranium or plutonium;

2. A medium- or long-range missile system capable of delivering a nuclear weapons payload reliably; and

3. The technology to weaponize the weapons-grade enriched uranium or plutonium into a miniaturized warhead capable of being delivered by a medium- or long-range missile.

Since 2006, Iran has made progress on all three components.

On Feb. 19, the New York Times reported that IAEA inspectors had discovered an additional 460 pounds of low-enriched uranium, a third more than Iran had previously disclosed. The Times further reported that Iran had amassed more than a ton of low-enriched uranium, enough with added purification to make at least one atomic bomb. Then, on June 5, the New York Times reported Iran had increased its number of installed centrifuges to 7,200, more than enough to make fuel for up to two weapons a year, if the Iranian government decided to use its facilities for that purpose. On May 20, the Associated Press reported that Iran had test-fired successfully a missile that could hit Israel. Iran's solid-fuel Sajjil-2 surface-to-surface missile has a range of 1,200 miles, according to the AP. A solid-fuel missile has two strategic military advantages:

1. Solid-fuel missiles can be fired immediately, reducing the time anti-missile systems have to detect a launch; and

2. Solid-fuel missiles tend to be more accurate than liquid-fuel missiles of similar range.Defense Minister (Mostafa Mohammad Najjar) has informed me that the Sajjil-2 missile, which has very advanced technology, was launched from Semnan and it landed precisely on target,the AP quoted Iran's President Ahmadinejad as saying on state radio. The Sajjil-2 missile is a significant improvement over the Shahab-3 medium-range ballistic missile Iran has had in its arsenal since at least 2004.The IAEA has charged that Iran is not cooperating with its requests for an answer to questions about possible studies on nuclear warheads Iran has carried out in the past, according to a report published by the BBC in May.A May Senate Foreign Relations Committee report entitled Iran: Where We Are Today,issued by the committee's Democratic chairman Sen. John Kerry, reported that: Potentially damning evidence surfaced in 2004 when U.S. intelligence obtained a laptop computer from an Iranian engineer.The Senate report said the computer contained thousands of pages of data on tests of high explosives and designs for a missile computer it said had come from an Iranian engineer. The computer contained thousands of pages of data on tests of high explosives and designs for a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead,the report continued. It also contained videos of what were described as secret workshops around Iran where the weapons work was supposedly carried out.The Senate report also pointed out that the Iranians denounced these computer documents as fakes.Still, senior U.N. officials and intelligence officers who saw these documents told the committee staff that the documents come from more than just the laptop and appear to be authentic, right down to the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the workshops in Iran.The Senate Foreign Relations Committee concluded that Iran has moved closer to completing the three components for a nuclear weapon – fissile material, warhead design and delivery system.

President Obama's assessment

President Obama has left no doubt the White House has concluded Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons.On Nov. 7, 2008, in his first press conference after winning the 2008 presidential election, then President-elect Obama said,Iran's development of a nuclear weapon, I believe, is unacceptable. And we have to mount an international effort to prevent that from happening.In the press availability following President Obama's meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on May 18, President Obama said, I indicated to Prime Minister Netanyahu in private what I have said publicly, which is that Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon would not only be a threat to Israel and a threat to the United States, but would be profoundly destabilizing in the international community as a whole and could set off a nuclear-arms race in the Middle East that would be extraordinarily dangerous for all concerned, including for Iran.But what precisely were President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu envisioning?

Israel is the loser from the Geneva encounter, Shalit tape release
Sunday, 04 October 2009 05:33 News from Jerusalem .Pulling the wool over international eyes

After the hype evaporates from the Geneva encounter between the six powers and Iran and the raw emotions fade from the videotaped sight of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilead Shalit, Israel is left to take stock of where it stands in relation to its enemies, Iran and the Hamas. The score is Israel - nil; Iran and its ally Hamas - two up.In the first place, Iran has gained substantially from the Obama administration's decision to abandon the US demand for Iran to freeze uranium enrichment as the precondition for talks. This US surrender has awarded Tehran the legitimacy for retaining its nuclear right.Then, too, the Geneva conference became the platform for the world powers to agree to hold up sanctions if Iran transferred three-quarters of its low-enriched uranium (1,179,4 tons out of 1,451,4) to a Russian plant for further enrichment to 20 percent grade. The product would then be referred to France for further technical modifications - meaning probably a process which would make it unfit for weapons grading.This arrangement, while seeming to solve this key problem, was in fact a major setback for the American and Israeli campaign to prevent Iran acquiring nuclear weapons for the following reasons:

1. Even that concession is not binding on Tehran and gives it plenty of room to wriggle out and dictate terms. European Union executive Javier Solana, who chaired the Geneva meeting, is the only source claiming its existence as a result of a deal he said he struck with Iran's negotiator Saeed Jalili. Apart from Solana, no one in Tehran - or even Jalili - has confirmed it.Solana's record should be remembered: For seven years, the Spanish diplomat went around discussing the nuclear controversy with Iranian officials, formally and informally, and issuing uniformly optimistic reports on the breakthroughs he achieved. His claims were never confirmed by Tehran, which used the time gained to carry on developing its military program regardless.

2. Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accepted the principle of using a third country for processing enrichment uranium, but that was no concession, because he never agreed to stop Iran's own centrifuges spinning, some of them now home-made. Neither did he clarify Iran's terms for this arrangement.Those terms are bound to effectively nullify the value of the project as they did in the past, when Tehran held out for joint management (Iranian-Russian at one point) of a foreign-based plant, to gain full control of the level of enrichment. Now too, Ahmadinejad offers Iranian funding to exercise its control of any foreign facility.

3. The Geneva talks focused on the enriched uranium which the International Atomic Energy Agency knows about - not the amounts concealed from inspection. The discovery of a secret enrichment facility near Qom points to the existence of more hidden plants and stocks.

4. This point may be the most crucial of all. While a big thing is made of uranium enrichment, the world powers are saying nothing about Iran's second path program for developing a plutonium bomb.DEBKAfile's sources have learned a secret plutonium facility is may well be buried in or near the Qom site.

5. The Obama White House no longer talks about sanctions but the pressure track,a flexible locution which can be graded up or down, but will be interpreted in Tehran as a softening of the president's position on its nuclear program.

6. The administration's earlier bombastic talk of an embargo on refined oils and gasoline sales as the price for continued Iranian stalling and deception has also faded.

7. By giving the Iranians two weeks to open up their Qom facility to international inspection, Obama has in fact given them time to clean out the facility of incriminating evidence. In any case, the outgoing IAEA director Mohamed ElBaradei, who arrived in Tehran Saturday, Oct. 3, is famous for his Iranian myopia.This weakening of international pressure on Iran in return for vague gestures of apparent goodwill has left Israel once again face to face with a regime which continues to outmaneuver and outfox the West in its drive for a nuclear weapon and hegemonic status in the Middle East.

Shalit tape deal is more of the same

The deal for Israel to receive a recent video-tape of the kidnapped Israel soldier Gilead Shalit from a secret Hamas prison in return for 20 female Palestinian prisoners cost Hamas nothing. The gesture proving that the soldier is alive and fit was a great comfort to his family. In fact it gave the Islamists' tarnished terrorist image a badly-needed lift after more than three years of denying his human rights as their captive.A communiqué from the prime minister's office in Jerusalem Friday, Oct. 2, after the tape was released, holding Hamas responsible for Shalit's safety and wellbeing, simply played back Hamas' own assumption of responsibility for their hostage. And even if the Palestinian extremists decide for their own reasons to give up this responsibility, what can Israel do? DEBKAfile's military sources are not even sure that the tape's release has enhanced the Israeli sergeant's prospects of a fast-tracked negotiation through German and Egyptian go-betweens and his early release. Hamas is running for election in June 2010 and plans to use its success in obtaining the freedom of up to 1,000 jailed Palestinians, the price they have set for Gilead Shalit, as a major boost for its campaign against Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah. The Islamists will therefore want the prisoner swap to take place as close as possible to voting day to maximize its impact on the Palestinians polling for a new parliament and president.This election is not a foregone conclusion either. It is contingent on the Hamas-Fatah deal on the date holding up for nine months.Whatever the outcome of the Palestinian factional give and take, Israel has ended up with a higher price tag for its prisoners in Palestinian terrorist hands: One thousand Palestinians for every Israeli soldier.debka.

US to citizens: Avoid Jerusalem Old City on Succot Saturday, 03 October 2009 06:57 News from Jerusalem .A haredi man walks in Jerusalem before Succot. (Photo AP)

In an unusual move, the US State Department on Friday called on American citizens to avoid Jerusalem's Old City during the week of Succot, warning citizens of increased violence, crime and heavy traffic.Although it is a good idea to avoid the Old City for the entire week,the warning reads, stressing that Monday, October 5, is expected to draw the largest crowds due to the annual pilgrimage by Jewish worshipers who will assemble at the Western Wall for special prayers.The State Department explains that Political and religious tensions are expected to be high in the areas immediately adjacent to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound throughout this period.A large police presence in the area may provoke spontaneous violence in the form of civil unrest and police actions,reads the statement published on the State Department's Web site.In the warning, US citizens are also informed that vehicle traffic in and around the Old City will be restricted by the Israeli National Police.Finally, Americans are warned that the crowded environment could result in an uptick in criminal activity to include pickpockets, physical assaults and other crimes.Crowds and walking or driving around the Old City should be avoided, the statement concludes.jpost.

Mashaal: We will kidnap more soldiers Saturday, 03 October 2009 05:42 News from Jerusalem .Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal

Hours after Israel released 19 female Palestinian prisoners in exchange for a video proving captive IDf soldier Gilad Schalit was alive, Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal on Friday night threatened to capture more Israeli soldiers in order to win the release of all Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons.In a speech in Damascus, Syria, Mashaal congratulated the Palestinian people on the release of the prisoners and promised to work for the release of thousands of Palestinians held by Israel.Those who were able to capture Schalit and hold him safely for more than three years are capable of capturing Schalit and Schalit and Schalit until there was not even one prisoner in the enemy's jails,Mashaal said.The Damascus-based leader's comments were followed by remarks from Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri, who on Friday night said that the prisoner release proved that Israel had no choice but to give in to the group's demands.The Zionist enemy has no choice but to accept Hamas's demands,Masri reportedly said.

According to Channel 10, Masri told the Hamas television network that the fact that 20 female prisoners were released today helps Hamas, and the passing time does not help the Zionist enemy, but rather strengthens our position.The Hamas spokesman said that even though it could take a long time, the negotiations with Israel would lead to a prisoner exchange deal.The negotiations over the deal are being held slowly and will continue for a long time, but we are sure they will be successful,he was quoted as saying.By 11:55 on Friday, Israel almost completed its share of the deal, releasing 19 prisoners, 18 to the West Bank and one to Gaza. The 20th prisoner will be released Sunday, after it turned out that a prisoner released Wednesday was about to complete her sentence and would therefore be released regardless of the deal.

Earlier Friday, the prisoners were transferred in four Israel Prison Service vehicles from Hasharon Prison to Ofer Prison and Hashikma Prison, where they were examined by officials from the International Committee of the Red Cross to ascertain that they were in good health.One prisoner left for Gaza via the Erez Crossing from Hashikma Prison, while the remaining 18 entered the West Bank from Ofer Prison via the Beitunya Crossing.In Gaza, the released prisoner, originally from the Islamic Jihad, was ceremoniously received by Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh. She entered Gaza with an 18-month-old baby to which she gave birth to in prison. Haniyeh announced the infant the youngest Palestinian prisoner.Hamas tried to milk the deal to the maximum, marketing it to Palestinians as proof that it was the Islamist group that brought results and not the bitter rivals of Hamas, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement.Celebrations were much more overt and public in Gaza, despite the fact that only one of the 19 prisoners released Friday came to Gaza.Earlier, Israel Radio reported that Hamas media outlets have been playing propaganda jingles all day and issuing calls to Gazans to march the streets in celebration of the women's release.None of the prisoners on the list were convicted of offenses which involved casualties; most were jailed for failed terror attacks or for filling out support roles. All were nearing the end of their jail sentences.Israel usually releases prisoners of this sort as a goodwill gesture during the Islamic holiday of Ramadan. None have been released by Netanyahu's administration this year. The deal Friday was the first release of Palestinian prisoners under the Netanyahu government.jpost

Taiwan evacuates over 6,000 as typhoon lingers OCT 5,09

TAIPEI (AFP) – Taiwan had evacuated more than 6,000 villagers by early Monday as Typhoon Parma lingered in seas near the island, bringing heavy rains and the risk of deadly mudslides, a rescuer said.The evacuations, some of them forced, were concentrated in south Taiwan, which saw the heaviest losses from Typhoon Morakot in August, as fears mounted that the downpours could cause mountainsides to collapse.

The evacuees have been relocated in shelters arranged by township offices. They're all safe,said Andrew Cheng, a Taipei-based official with the National Disaster and Prevention and Protection Commission.The next 24 to 48 hours will be critical. We'll watch closely how much more rain Typhoon Parma will bring in,he told AFP.More than 3,000 residents in Pingtung county in south Taiwan and almost 2,000 people in neighbouring Kaohsiung county have left their homes, while the rest were evacuated in east Taiwan's Yilan, Hualien and Taitung counties.Typhoon Parma was 250 kilometres (155 miles) south-west of Oluanpi, the southernmost tip of Taiwan, at 0115GMT and continued to hover in the Bashi Channel which separates Taiwan and the Philippines.The weather system packed gusts of up to 126 kilometres (78 miles) per hour, down from 155 kilometres per hour on Sunday.While the strength (of Parma) has declined, it is very likely to produce more heavy rains for the island, in particular in the east,said Hsieh Ming-chang, an official with Central Weather Bureau.The defence ministry ordered the deployment of some 200 soldiers from elite units to help evacuations from remote villages while putting 35,000 others in standby.The government came under strong criticism for an alleged ineffective reaction to Typhoon Morakot, which claimed over 600 lives and plunged President Ma Ying-jeou into his worst political crisis since taking office in May 2008.

Typhoon turns back, dumps rain on northern Philippines By Rosemarie Francisco – OCT 4,09

MANILA (Reuters) – A powerful typhoon that slammed into the northern Philippines over the weekend has made a U-turn and was being pulled back by another, stronger storm, officials said Monday.Typhoon Parma, the strongest typhoon to hit the country since 2006, killed 17 as it barreled through the Philippines' northeast. It moved off the northwestern coast Sunday but was being pulled back by another storm, Melor, and the system continues to drench the northern mountains with rain.Parma, packing winds of 120 kph (75 mph) near the center and gusts of up to 150 kph, is expected to remain almost stationary off the coast of Laoag City in the far northwest of the Philippines up to Thursday.We are closely monitoring the movements of typhoon Parma after it made a U-turn,Nathaniel Cruz, chief weather forecaster, told reporters.

We're expecting a much stronger typhoon from the Pacific to enter into the Philippine area of responsibility late on Monday. The interaction between the two typhoons has prevented Parma from moving out of the country,Cruz said.Melor is swirling in the Pacific and may veer toward the country's northeastern waters before heading for Japan. It is not expected to hit the Philippine mainland.Melor is the more powerful cyclone now, and it is dictating the direction Parma, which has weakened, will go,weather forecaster, Rene Paciente, said on radio.Heavy rain in and around Manila, which is about 350 km (200 miles) southeast of the center of Parma, could worsen the situation in the Philippine capital which is still recovering from floods a week ago brought by a previous storm, Ketsana.Nearly 300 people were killed and about half a million were forced out of their homes by Ketsana. About 6.5 billion pesos ($139 million) in crops, mostly rice about to be harvested, were also damaged, forcing Manila to consider more rice imports this year.In Taiwan, thousands of residents from mudslide-prone villages in the island's south were evacuated as Parma brought heavy rains. Land and sea warnings remained in effect Monday for about half of Taiwan as the army kept an eye on swollen creeks in two hard-hit parts of the northeast.(Additional reporting by Manny Mogato in Manila and Ralph Jennings in Taipei; Editing by Jeremy Laurence)

Tropical Storm Grace forms in Atlantic OCT 4,09

MIAMI – Forecasters say Tropical Storm Grace has formed far out in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean with winds at 65 mph (100 kph).The center of the storm was about 420 miles (675 km) northeast of the Azores Sunday night.It's moving toward the northeast near 25 mph (41 kph). Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center say the storm is expected to weaken in the next day.They say Grace is expected to be absorbed by a non-tropical low pressure area over the northeastern Atlantic Monday night or Tuesday.

Samoans flock to churches to mourn tsunami victims By AUDREY McAVOY and ROD McGUIRK, Associated Press Writers – OCT 4,09

LALOMANU, Samoa – Hundreds of villagers from a Samoan disaster zone gathered at church Sunday for belated funeral ceremonies — mourning victims of the South Pacific tsunami that obliterated entire communities and killed at least 176 people.The Congregational Christian Church of Lalomanu was packed with about 1,000 people, including relatives from Australia and New Zealand and rescue workers for a service for 52 friends and loved ones.The church was unscathed by the giant wave that struck on Tuesday, sparked by a powerful offshore earthquake, because it is built on higher ground than the many beachside homes that were destroyed.Representatives of 10 families spoke of the 52 lost relatives who less than a week ago had been part of the congregation.Failuga Gase, whose home was destroyed, wept silently for four family members.It's a special occasion to memorialize those who died, the father of three told The Associated Press outside the church.In our usual way, we have a grave ceremony for those who have died, one by one.One woman said her family is saddened that they lost their mother but thankful the tragedy wasn't compounded.Luluu Berns said her sister, brother-in-law and their seven children had all survived, although at one point the 16-month-old youngest child was missing.Five hours later, they found this little boy on the beach,she said.He was face down and the father found him and brought him up and shook him a little and he was still alive. I thank the Lord for this precious miracle that he did for this little boy.

Outside the church, the bereaved hugged and wept.

Along the southeast coast of the disaster zone, some damaged churches stood derelict while villagers gathered in others to pray. Samoa is a deeply Christian country where Sunday church services are an integral part of life.Earlier, in the capital Apia, Monsignor Ioane Vito celebrated the first Mass of the day in a 19th century Roman Catholic cathedral on the waterfront, urging the congregation to unify to rebuild from the disaster that devastated the opposite side of Upolu island.Don't dwell on it but rebuild our lives together as a community,Vito said at the Immaculate Conception of Mary Cathedral.Pain will unite us, and unity will give us strength.Families were still coming to terms with the sudden losses. The Tsunami killed 135 in Samoa, 32 in American Samoa, and nine in nearby Tonga.Unity also was the theme on American Samoa, a U.S. territory, where residents were holding a national prayer service Sunday night that territorial Gov. Togiola Tulafono said would bring the community together.Members of the community are joining together and they're upholding, encouraging and supporting each other. We're very grateful and pray to God for that,Sam Tialavea, general secretary of the Congregational Christian Church. He said the services involves his church, Methodists, Catholics and other Christian denominations.

Villagers in remote areas of American Samoa were waiting for government officials to assess damage to their homes and shops before they can start to clean up.Jina Jang, a high school junior whose family runs a convenience store in Fagatogo town, and her father were sweeping water-logged papers, canceled checks and family photos into piles in front of their home and store. Broken store shelves sat under the store's collapsed aluminum roof.We're waiting for FEMA and others,the 17-year-old student said.They said,Don't touch anything yet,so we're just waiting.Five of American Samoa's 29 public schools won't reopen with the others Monday because of tsunami damage.We're also going to provide extensive counseling for students and other school officials in need,Department of Education Director Claire Tuia Poumele said Sunday.We understand the impact of such a disaster on everyone.Scores of grieving people on Samoa made a heartbreaking decision Saturday to sign over victims of the tsunami to the state for burial rather than take them back to ravaged villages for traditional funerals — a radical departure from Samoan tradition. Government minister Fiana Naomi said Saturday she expected about half of Samoa's 135 victims would be buried in mass graves of up to 20 in a new cemetery in the capital Apia on Thursday following a memorial service in a nearby sports stadium. The state would cover the costs.Usually they're very large communal ceremonies, but this is memorializing this event to serve as a constant reminder to us that we need to be prepared for natural disasters,Naomi said, tears welling in her eyes.McGuirk reported from Apia, Samoa.

Firefighters try to protect Calif mountain town OCT 4,09

WRIGHTWOOD, Calif. – Firefighters waged an aggressive ground and air assault Sunday against a wind-fanned wildfire that erupted in the San Gabriel Mountains and threatened a popular resort community.Crews spent the day cutting fire lines while battling erratic winds. Helicopters and air tankers, which were briefly grounded due to the gusty weather, dropped water and retardant on the blaze, which grew to 7,500 acres.Flames, chewing through chaparral and timber, advanced within a quarter-mile of the mountain resort community of Wrightwood, which was under mandatory evacuation. By Sunday afternoon, firefighters were cautiously optimistic about keeping the fire at bay, aided somewhat by cooling temperatures and higher humidity.

Firefighters have been able to beat the flames back,said John Miller, a spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service.Officials stressed the fight was far from over. Firefighters had to contend with shifting winds, which gusted up to 50 mph and occasionally dropped to zero.It's hard to get a handle on it,Forest Service spokeswoman Barbara Duruisseau said. The wind could be blowing one way one minute and another way the next.The so-called Sheep fire destroyed three homes in remote canyons and was 20 percent surrounded. More than 700 personnel were fighting the fire.Between 4,000 to 6,000 residents were ordered to evacuate, officials said.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency for San Bernardino County, freeing up state resources to battle the fire.Erratic winds and low visibility temporarily grounded air support, but helicopters and air tankers took to the skies by Sunday morning aided by about 1,000 firefighters on the ground, some spraying fire retardant gel on structures.The blaze broke out Saturday afternoon near Lytle Creek, a small community surrounded by national forest. Fueled by thick timber and brush, the fire pushed over hills and canyons by fast-moving winds.Evacuation centers were set up at a high school in nearby Rialto and at the Victorville Fairgrounds.The cause of the fire was under investigation.In Arizona, some residents of the city of Williams remained away from their homes for another day as a prescribed burn that grew out of control threatened the town known as the Gateway to the Grand Canyon.Punky Moore, a Kaibab National Forest spokeswoman, said the Twin Fire scorched about 1,000 acres, or more than 1 1/2 square miles, by Sunday morning. It was burning forest undergrowth and ponderosa pines on Bill Williams Mountain.

300 Members of The House Support Audit the Fed Campaign For Liberty
Sunday October 4th, 2009

Today, the number of cosponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives for HR 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, climbed to 299. Including Congressman Ron Paul, the bill’s author, 300 members of the House of Representatives now support an audit of the Federal Reserve. S 604, the Senate companion bill, currently has 30 cosponsors.HR 1207 would open up the Fed’s funding facilities, such as the Primary Dealer Credit Facility, Term Securities Lending Facility, and Term Asset-Backed Securities Lending Facility to Congressional oversight and an audit by the non-partisan Government Accountability Office. Additionally, audits would include discount window operations, open market operations, and agreements with foreign central banks, such as ongoing dollar swap operations with European central banks.

Less than a year ago, an audit of the Federal Reserve wasn’t on anyone’s radar. Now the idea has the support of seventy five percent of the American people and a majority of Congress,said Jesse Benton, Senior Vice President at the Campaign For Liberty, which has been leading the grassroots effort in support of the bill since its introduction.The policies put forth by the Fed have played a major role in the economic trouble our nation faces, so an audit of its operations is the common sense thing to do.When 300 members of the House support a bill, that indicates overwhelming support by the American People. HR 1207 should be brought to the House Floor for a prompt vote,continued Benton.Support for the bill, which has been gathering steadily since being introduced earlier this year by Congressman Ron Paul, has reached a fever pitch in recent weeks with widespread media coverage on the release of Paul’s highly anticipated book, End The Fed, and hearings on Fed transparency in the House Financial Services Committee held late last week.For more information on Second Amendment rights, visit: www.CampaignForLiberty.com

IMF struggles to shake off harsh image
ANDREW WILLIS Today OCT 5,09 @ 17:34 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – Following the G20 leaders' meeting in London this April, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing-director of the International Monetary Fund, greeted the media with the simple message: We're back.The IMF has indeed had a good crisis, with politicians around the world opting to step-up funding and extend the mandate of an organisation whose agenda prior to the credit crunch had become dominated by report writing rather than lending.Considerable attempts have also been made to shake off the fund's neo-liberal image. But a new report out Monday (5 October) by NGO umbrella group Solidar says the fund's policies in countries such as EU member state Latvia continue to hurt poorer citizens.The Latvian economy was badly hit by the bursting of its real estate and credit bubbles last year, causing the government to secure a joint IMF and EU loan of €7.5 billion in December.Since then the economy has deteriorated further, forcing the government to introduce more budget cuts in order to maintain loan payments and remain on course to bring its budget deficit to within the 3 percent of GDP level by 2012 as agreed.The issue is complicated by Latvia's desire to join the euro currency at the start of 2014, but NGO groups such as Solidar say the IMF lending conditions are pro-cyclical in nature and do not constitute a radical departure from previous policies. Boosting equitable growth, meeting the most urgent needs of the poor, and laying the foundations for the creation of decent work …should be the main goals of the funding provided to counter the effects of the crisis,says the report.

In practice this is likely to mean a slower reduction of budget deficits.

Donor agenda?

Swedish finance minister Anders Borg issued a stark warning to Latvia over the weekend, following an announcement by the Baltic government that it would reduce agreed spending cuts from 500 million to 225 million lats (€320 million) next year while remaining within agreed deficit levels.Shares in Swedish banks fell on Monday morning as the market digested the news, a reminder of the huge exposure the country's banks have built up in the Baltic region during the recent boom years.
Solidar accuses Swedish concerns over its banking sector as being a key driver behind the lending terms received by the Latvian government, revised over the summer.If you look closely at the negotiations surrounding the Latvian loan, who was leading the charge in that negotiation. It was the Swedish presidency [of the EU], together with the European Commission,the group's international co-operation co-ordinator, Andrea Maksimovic, told EUobserver.Such issues are unlikely to be aired at this week's IMF annual meeting (6-7 October) in Istanbul, Turkey, where participants will digest the recent decisions made by G20 leaders in Pittsburgh.But criticisms over excessively restrictive lending conditions may have to be addressed in the future if the organisation is to finally shake off its reputation as a vector for Euro-Atlantic interests.This point was made clear over the weekend when Mr Stauss-Kahn became the latest target of a shoe-throwing incident as he addressed students in Istanbul last week.

World Bank and IMF join global attack on the dollar!
by Larry Edelson 10-04-09
http://www.infowars.com/world-bank-and-imf-join-global-attack-on-the-dollar/

In my emails to you over the past couple of weeks, I’ve shown you why Washington has no choice but to devalue the dollar — and how global leaders and even the United Nations have joined the attack on the greenback by demanding it be replaced as the world’s reserve currency.Now, just this week, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have begun adding their voices to the international choir calling for a new global reserve currency:Last week, World Bank President Robert Zoellick warned that the dollar’s status will be challenged and shouldn’t be taken for granted.

According to Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan, it’s likely that the role of special drawing rights (SDRs) based on a basket of currencies will be discussed as an alternative to the dollar during meetings of the World Bank and IMF in Istanbul next week. Meanwhile, global governments, central banks, companies and investors continue to slash their dollar holdings. According to the IMF, in April through June of this year, the greenback’s share of global currency reserves fell to the lowest level in a decade. Holdings of euros, in contrast, rose to a new all-time record high. All this adds weight and momentum to the devaluation of the dollar. It is DEFINITELY ON THE TABLE. Indeed, for the first time I can remember, the G-7 finance officials, meeting this weekend, are rumored to be breaking with tradition and choosing not to release a statement on the global economy and currencies.I feel this is an extremely significant development: At last week’s G-20 meeting, the group officially anointed itself as being in charge of global economic affairs.Plus, we now have the G-7 refusing to discuss the dollar, which is highly unusual. Many will say that, if the G-7 does indeed refuse to comment on the dollar at this weekend’s meeting, it’s merely a sign they’re beginning to turn the reigns over to the G-20 for currency matters.Baloney! The G-7 WILL discuss the huge global economic imbalances in the world. And to me, that’s code talk for a currency devaluation on the agenda. Members of the G-7 ARE discussing it. They’re just NOT doing it in public.It reminds me of the 1985 Plaza Accord, where James Baker committed the U.S. to a depreciating dollar, bulldozing over our creditors, and ultimately precipitating the 1987 crash.The difference: Back then the U.S. was in a position to lead the devaluation. Today, it’s not. Today, our creditors are going to bulldoze over us.

October 3rd 2009 G7 Ditches Currency Communique

The semiannual meetings of the G countries – whether the G7, G8, G20, etc. – are always closely monitored by currency analysts. Especially close attention is paid to the official communique, which often includes an assessment of current exchange rates.The communique is rarely so straightforward as to indicate if, when, and where the Gs will intervene. Nonetheless, it is often full of intimations, and analysts often spend days parsing its rhetoric for clues. During this period, it’s not uncommon for the forex markets to witness increased volatility, as investors try to come to consensus about what to expect in the months following the meeting. This is because unlike Central Banks, which often face difficulties in unilaterally trying to influence their currencies, the G7 is usually able to achieve its desired goal: A study last year by ECB economist Marcel Fratzcher found the G7 was successful in moving within a year currencies on 80 per cent of the 29 occasions it tried to do so since 1975.

However, the current meeting, which is being held in Instanbul, Turkey,may break from this tradition. It’s not clear exactly what motivated the (potential) decision not to release a communique, which has been an important policy tool for the last three decades. Perhaps, policymakers have realized that their are other, better forums to discuss currency issues, namely the G20, which met last week in Pittsburgh, USA.The timing of the decision is somewhat odd, given that exchange rate and other economic imbalances are proliferating. In fact, in press conferences held before and after the official G7 meetings, policymakers and Central Bankers have been forthcoming about such imbalances. Jim Flaherty, Finance Minister of Canada, sounded off on the RMB, which has stalled in its appreciation for over a year: They (China) have a position that they are relaxing their currency, relaxing the restrictions on their currency gradually over time,he said. Meanwhile, ECB Governor Jean-Claude Trichet voiced concerns about the Dollar, which has slide 15% against the Euro so far this year.Ironically given the G7’s refusal to act, there is actually a strong conensus that the Dollar’s slide is generally bad for the global economy, especially in the context of the nascent recovery. A cheaper Dollar not only affects the export competitiveness of countries in Asia, but is also partially responsible for surging commodity prices. There is also a general belief that volatile (perhaps unstable is a better word) exchange rates are not conducive to economic and financial stability.At this point, it doesn’t seem likely that either the G7 or the G20 will take the extreme step of intervening on behalf of the Dollar, which remains well below the record lows of 2008. If the Buck continues to slide, however, especially to the point where its role as global reserve currency is in jeopardy…well…that is a different story, and fodder for next year’s meetings, which will be held in Canada. Then again, it may be taken up by the G4, a still-hypothetical group which would consist of the US, China, Japan, and a representative from the EU. It is alos the intended subject of my next post…stay tuned! Posted by Adam Kritzer.

Black Sea could compete with Russia as EU gas supplier
VALENTINA POP Today OCT 5,09 @ 10:59 CET

EUOBSERVER / BUCHAREST – The geopolitics of pipelines between Russia and Europe could change dramatically if non-conventional oil and gas reserves in the Black Sea area were to be tapped, energy experts at a high-level conference said last week. The Black Sea resources are very big and could even replace gas supply from Russia, Dinu Patriciu, a Romanian oil man and investor who has already bought up large chunks of the country's maritime plateau, said at the Black Sea energy and economic forum in Bucharest on Friday (2 October).The event brought together key politicians and business people and was organised by the Washington-based Atlantic Council, a left-leaning think-tank.Mr Patriciu's vision of the Black Sea becoming a production region - not just a transit route from the East to Western Europe - rests on the development of new resources such as gas hydrates and other unconventional gas.I'm not a big fan of pipelines. They are long-term projects with low return in which politics are always involved,he explained, echoing the earlier remarks of US special envoy Richard Morningstar, who said that the EU's energy dependency problem cannot be solved by pipelines alone.So far no major Western energy company has thrown its weight behind exploiting gas hydrates, also known as flammable ice.

Once extracted from the seabed, the solid gas is easy to transport via containers and does not require expensive processing technologies such as in the case of liquefied natural gas (LNG). It is believed to be found in large amounts in the Black Sea.If exploited locally, it would diminish EU states' reliance on Russian pipelines and their associated risk of politically-motivated cut-offs. Unconventional gas can also be extracted from sand or turf. It is hard to put a figure on the extent of unconventional EU reserves. But the US already gets half its production form the new sources, while EU states such as the UK, Poland and Hungary are still at pilot project stage.The EU gas market could be revolutionised if it made the transition from traditional gas to unconventional gas, said Glen Sansom, the general manager of Schlumberger, the world's largest oilfield services provider.

Emerging countries, which traditionally consume less energy than the highly-industrialised West, are also turning their attention to the sector.As the Black Sea experts debated the issue of gas hydrates in Bucharest, China announced that it had found a deposits of unconventional gas worth 35 billion tonnes of oil in the Tibetan Plateau. The new gas could come online in about 10 years.Energy experts in Bucharest also warned that young researchers and experts in gas extraction are becoming harder to recruit because of the environmental awareness of the young generation.Gas hydrates and other unconventional gas sources are less polluting than coal or other fossil fuels but still release significant amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.The European Commission has an awareness of the potential new gas resources in Europe, Fabrizio Barbasso, the deputy director general of the commission's energy directorate, told EUobserver.Unconventional gas could be a great breakthrough for Europe if proven economically viable, he said.

Expert on Structured Finance and Derivatives Gives the Big Picture
Washington’s Blog Sunday October 4th, 2009

Janet Tavakoli is one of the foremost experts on structured finance and derivatives.
Tavakoli made an outstanding presentation to the IMF last week on the fraud which led to the financial crisis.Tavakoli was kind enough to send me a summary of the IMF presentation (and to give me permission to reprint the summary).Making many of the same points that William K. Black (senior S&L regulator and professor of law and economics) has made about fraud and the big picture of what has occurred in the current as well as the S&L crisis – see this and this – Tavakoli told the IMF:Wall Street gave mortgage lenders large credit lines (similar to credit card debt) and packaged the loans into private-label residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS). Most of the RMBS was rated AAA … But many RMBSs were backed by portfolios comprising risky fraud-riddled loans. Most of the AAA investment was imperiled, and subordinated investment grade components were worthless. Wall Street disguised these toxic investments with new value-destroying securitizations and derivatives.

Meanwhile, collapsing mortgage lenders paid high dividends to shareholders (old investors) and interest on credit lines to Wall Street (old investors) with money raised from new investors in doomed securities. New money allowed Wall Street to temporarily hide losses and pay enormous bonuses. This is a classic Ponzi scheme…A large share of certain banks’ tax-subsidized profits is due as reparation to unsophisticated investors, the U.S. taxpayers...By the end of 2006, public reports of implosions of large mortgage lenders eliminated CEOs’ plausible deniability. By January 2007, many (including me) publicly challenged the failure to account for losses. Instead, toxic securitization accelerated in the first half of 2007—classic malfeasance as a Ponzi scheme collapses…In the spring of 2007, the Fed and the U.K.’s FSA reported that the degree of leverage in the global financial system was less than at the time of Long Term Capital Management, but in reality it was much greater. They are now repeating their mistakes. Winston Churchill said we must alert somnolent authority to novel dangers; but our regulators are complacent, and the dangers are not novel.[Remember: Tavakoli is an expert on various forms of leverage, such as securitization and derivatives. So if she is warning about too much leverage, we should take her seriously]Wall Street supplies a swinging door of jobs for its financial regulators, and—in the case of many members of Congress and our Presidents—campaign contributions. This dependence is known as capture, and the result is that instead of reigning in Wall Street, dependent thinking enables mayhem.In the recent Ponzi scheme only the agents—mortgage lenders, rating agencies, fund managers, securitization professionals, CFOs, CEOs, and other fee or bonus beneficiaries—prospered. Controls and risk management were undermined. The financial institutions and their shareholders, for which these agents are failed stewards, collapsed. Investors in toxic securitizations lost money. Had regulators done their jobs, they would have shut down Wall Street’s financial meth labs, and the Ponzi scheme would have quickly choked to death from lack of monetary oxygen.After the Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980’s, there were more than 1,000 felony indictments of senior officers. Recent fraud is much more widespread and costly. The consequences are much greater. Congress needs to fund investigations. Regulators need to get tough on crime.

Troubled financial entities should be put into receivership and restructured. Old shareholders will be wiped out. Debt-holders will take a haircut (discount) along with a debt for new equity swap to recapitalize the entity. But the job won’t be complete until we separate high risk activities from traditional banking in a return to a Glass-Steagall like structure with regulators that indict fraudsters, snuff out systemic fraud, and allow honest bankers to prosper.The fact that many U.S. banks stuck to traditional banking and protected shareholders during this crisis is under-publicized, but their prudence worked.We have the solutions. We need the will to implement them.
