Poland wants mini-president at EU helm
ANDREW RETTMAN Today OCT 22,09 @ 17:25 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Poland has said it wants the new EU president to be a quiet consensus-builder who will not try to aggrandise the post, in what looks like another blow to British candidate Tony Blair.The President of the European Council, apart from chairing its sessions, should concentrate on ensuring the continuity of its works and on building consensus among representatives of member states. His/her right of authority should not be extended through non-treaty measures, it said in a position paper obtained by EUobserver.The two page document, entitled Implementation of the Treaty of Lisbon, is dated 19 October and comes on top of earlier Polish proposals about the EU's new diplomatic corps. The new post of President of the European Council is to be created when the Lisbon Treaty comes into force but it is not yet clear what form it should take.

The latest Polish paper envisages a primary role for the traditional EU presidency.

The rotating six-month chairmanship is to guide the works of the Council of the European Union, while the new EU chief is to have a secondary function to build on the achievements of the presidency.The rotating chairmanship is also to present special reports about its pre-summit achievements to EU leaders and to host any extraordinary EU summits in its home country. EU summit agendas and draft conclusions are to be tabled by the 27 EU foreign ministers.Meanwhile, the new EU president is to be tied up in regular meetings with the rotating chair, the EU commission president, the EU parliament president and the new EU foreign minister to make sure he co-ordinates his ideas with the other institutions. The Polish job description seems too small for a big international personality such as British ex-premier Tony Blair.It echoes feeling in the Benelux countries, which in a joint paper earlier this month said that "the rotating six-month presidency will ...play a primary role" in what was interpreted as a broadside against Mr Blair's candidacy.

Poland will be looking to the Spanish EU presidency in the first half of 2010 to see how the new power-sharing set-up works in practice.Warsaw will get its moment of EU fame in the second half of 2011 and has already begun making preparations. It plans to spend €103 million (Paris spent €151 million in 2008). It has published its list of political priorities and hired advisors from think-tanks such as the European Policy Centre and Bruegel.In autumn 2010 it will also cut the ribbon on a swanky new building to house its EU mission, just off the Schuman roundabout in the heart of the EU quarter. The new premises will house an extra 100 staff, doubling the Polish contingent to over 200 personnel, the equal of the largest permanent representations in the EU capital.

MEPs to call for EU diplomatic college - Members of the fledgling diplomatic service should think European (Photo: EUobserver)HONOR MAHONY Today OCT 22,09 @ 08:40CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The European Parliament is later this morning set to call for the establishment of a European diplomatic college as the EU looks to firm up its presence on the international stage with a more coherent foreign policy.The proposal, contained in a parliament report on the current negotiations to establish a European diplomatic service, suggests such a college would provide appropriate training in consular procedures, diplomacy and international relations including knowledge and the history and workings of the European Union.European external relations commissioner Benita Ferrero Waldner called it a promising idea as members of the fledgling diplomatic service, at least a third of whom will be directly seconded from national ministries, should think European.We need to create a European diplomatic culture and an esprit de corps,said the commissioner, while debating the report with MEPs on Wednesday (21 October).There is also a call to let EU commission delegations, which will become union embassies under the Lisbon Treaty, provide consular services for EU citizens in third countries - something one EU analyst noted may become popular as member states scale back their consular services abroad due to costs.

The wider report by German centre-right MEP Elmar Brok anticipates the internal institutional problems of the EU that could be created by the diplomatic service, a part of the new Lisbon Treaty, and makes a series of demands including that the service be a part of the European commission and part of the EU budget, moves that would automatically grant MEPs greater scrutiny rights.While the Swedish EU presidency as well as commissioner Ferrero-Waldner were careful to point to the importance of democratic oversight and close cooperation with the parliament, they shied away from committing the new set-up to being part of the general EU budget.The idea is deeply unpopular with member states who fear that their exclusive powers in foreign policy will be eroded.For her part Swedish EU minister Cecilia Malmstrom said that Stockholm will be ready to present a series of very useful ideas on the service to a meeting of EU leaders in Brussels next week. Giving a few details of the ongoing negotiations between member states about what the service should look like, she said the commission would maintain overall responsibility for trade, aid and enlargement issues.The Lisbon Treaty is unclear on the scope of the service and the foreign minister. This has prompted fears that the commission will be weakened as its experts leave to fill the ranks of the diplomatic service and it is stripped of its powers in key external policy areas such as trade.

The service, which member states are hoping to have set up by April next year, has prompted job fears among commission staff, 400 of whom attended a talk last week by the commission's secretary general on the issue.The career path in the commission is quite clear,an official in the external relations unit told EUobserver adding but no one is sure what a transfer to the service will mean.The setting up of the diplomatic service could imply a change to the staff regulations, the rules governing internal management of the EU institutions including the choosing of staff and the creation of new jobs. This would be something that would need to be decided with the European Parliament, opening a new point of leverage for deputies trying to shape the service.While the majority of deputies spoke out in favour of the report during Wednesday's debate, some deputies said the diplomatic service will mean foreign policy is gradually taken away from member states.

National Law Journal: Employers Want To Mandate Swine Flu Vaccinations For Workers Lawyer advises offering free lunches, days off to those who take jab Steve Watson Infowars.net Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009

A report in the National Law Journal reveals that employers are asking lawyers if they can make it mandatory for their workers to take the H1N1 vaccination.The article (registration required) also reveals that some companies are seeking legal advice on whether they can take employees’ temperatures, a practice that is illegal under laws covering medical tests in the workplace.Lawyer Steve Biddle, who heads a San Francisco firm’s H1N1 practice group, tells the National Law Journal that he has taken a significant rise in calls regarding mandatory swine flu shots from employers in colder states.Biddle says that mandatory shots are a viable option during a pandemic, but he recommends companies try a softer approach, such as offering more paid leave or free lunches for those workers who agree to take the shot.Another lawyer, John Michels Jr, based in Chicago, backs up the notion that mandatory vaccination can be enforced in the workplace:In the private arena, Michels said, the law is pretty well established regarding an employer’s right to mandate vaccinations. If an employer can establish a legitimate business need or objective, he said, vaccinations against various illnesses can be a legitimate job qualification.Such a move would set a frightening precedent whereby employees would face the choice of getting vaccinated or losing their jobs. Further down the line, workers may be asked to agree to take vaccinations as part of their employment contracts.Michels added that because there is a gray area over whether the H1N1 vaccine has been properly licensed, and given that it may be experimental or not properly vetted, workers could mount a strong challenge to such mandates issued by their employers.A number of lawsuits against mandatory H1N1 vaccination have already been filed against the states of New York and Washington by nurses there, who have been told they must take the shot or be suspended and terminated from their jobs.
Healthcare workers across the country are standing up against intimidation to take the shot, pointing out that the vaccine has not been properly tested and contains mercury, squalene and other dangerous additives.

7YR TREATY BY PROOF

GENESIS 2:2-3 GOD RESTED THE 7TH DAY
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

LEVITICUS 25:1-9 THE 7 YEAR SABBATICAL
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.
3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

God has always dealt with Israel in 7's, it just makes sense the last dealing with Israel and the World will be a 7 yr treaty. God rested from creation on the 7TH DAY. Every 7TH YEAR Israel is suppose to rest the land. And the 7X7=49 YRS and the jubilee is the 50TH YEAR.

Now the scriptures that a week in Israel history is 7YEARS.

Heres the scripture 1 week = 7 yrs Genesis 29:27-29
27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.

Isn"t this interesting it comes from the same Person whos name was changed to Israel,(JACOB) and Israel and Jerusalem is the places dealt with in Daniel 9:24-27.

GENESIS 32:27-28
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

1 CHRONICLES 17:6-14
6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:
8 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
10 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.
11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
14 But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

MATTHEW 24:32-35
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:(MAY 14,1948 ISRAEL BECOMES A NATION IN 1 DAY).
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

LUKE 21:24
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.(JERUSALEM IN JEWSH HANDS JUNE 6-10, 1967).

DANIEL 9:24-27
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people (ISRAEL) and upon thy holy city,(JERUSALEM) to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks,(7X7=49 YRS) and threescore and two weeks:(62X7=434 YRS) the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come (ROMANS IN AD 70) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;(TEMPLE) and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (69x7=483 YRS TO THIS POINT, THE FINAL 7 YR TREATY IS IN THE NEXT VERSE TO FULFILL THE 490 YEARS OF DANIELS PROPHECY.
9:27 And he (THE FUTURE ROMAN PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3RD TEMPLE DESECRATED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.(WW3)

Solana: Israel has to swap land for any centimeter beyond 1967 line Wednesday, 21 October 2009 17:20 News from Jerusalem Javier Solana with Abbas

EU Foreign Policy chief Javier Solana said the European Union's goal is to establish a Palestinian state in the 1967 borders.Speaking in Ramallah on Wednesday, Solana said the sooner this happens, the better.Solana met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Wednesday morning, and is scheduled to meet later with Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.His visit to the Palestinian Authority is aimed at highlighting the EU's commitment to the region and supporting the PA leadership.Solana is slated to visit Israel on Thursday, and meet with Israeli officials.During his visit to Ramallah, Solana said there may be a need to exchange certain territories, but he said this should not disrupt the territory's continuity.He said EU's stance in the matter is similar to that of the Quartet on the Middle East, and expressed his support of Abbas' efforts to unite the Palestinian people in light of the current dispute between his Fatah party and Hamas.Solana's meeting with Abbas came before the latter's trip to Egypt. After the meeting, Solana said that Abbas took off to Cairo where reconciliation talks between the two Palestinian factions are ongoing, and stressed that Abbas is dedicated to closing a deal.Later Wednesday, Solana told the Israeli Presidential Conference in Jerusalem that the world must not accept an Iranian nuclear bomb. According to Solana,Tomorrow is today and we have no time to lose.As for the peace process in the Middle East, Solana called for limited negotiations.The time to do it is now. Nothing has been done in the world without taking risks.ynet

PM Netanyahu’s Speech at the 2009 President’s Conference - Making the Impossible Possible Wednesday, 21 October 2009 16:51 News from Jerusalem Binyamin Netanyahu at Presidents conference 2009

This Conference is an opportunity to think about how to make the impossible possible. How do we transform a dream into reality, a crisis into an opportunity? The truth is that there is no other person in the world who could have initiated and led such a Conference – making the impossible possible – than our respected and beloved President of the State of Israel, Shimon Peres. As you have done your whole life, Mr. President, tonight you continue to dream, to lead and to make dreams reality.It is no secret that we meet frequently and that I consult with you often. You have experienced what few other people in the world can match. You are a learned man, a statesman, an intellectual, a prime minister and a president. You are an Israeli patriot, and at the same time, man of the world.But above all, this night is the expression of one other trait you enjoy – you are an entrepreneur. You take the initiative and look to the future.Shimon, you are a national treasure, and I am happy to be here tonight at your Conference. There really is no other person who could have established this Conference, and I also feel that there is no better place to hold it than in the State of Israel.

That is because for 62 years – day in and day out – we make the impossible possible. We gathered together a scattered and persecuted people who lost one-third of its sons and daughters. We restored the power of self-defense that we had lost; we stood tall once again; we revived an ancient language; we made the wilderness bloom, we absorbed new immigrants; and we established a magnificent country that is a world-leader in many fields, primarily those that are based on knowledge.We did one other thing that people thought was impossible: we paved the path to peace. First we made peace with Egypt and later with Jordan. We are tireless in our efforts to achieve peace with the Palestinians, and we will succeed with them as well.Currently many people believe that this is an impossible task. I do not share that view. I believe that peace with our Palestinian neighbors is possible. However, it demands leadership and courage from both sides.

That is why I call on Abu Mazen, President of the Palestinian Authority:
-Lead your people to peace!
-Tell your people that it is time to end this conflict once and for all!
-Tell your people that it is time for both our peoples to live side-by-side in peace and security.
I ask nothing of you that I have not demanded of myself.Several months ago, I gave a speech in which I told the Israeli people the truth about peace – the need for peace and the path to peace.Now it is time for you to tell your people the truth about peace – the need for peace and the true path to peace.I gave my speech at Bar Ilan University. You can give yours at any of your universities or any institution you choose. The important thing is to do so.We are ready to talk about peace between us as soon as possible, even tomorrow. But we cannot just talk about peace in private – the truth about peace must be shared with the Israeli and the Palestinian peoples.

Ladies and Gentleman,

If there is any group that can understand that the impossible can be made possible it is this group right here.Among the participants are world leaders, scientists, intellectuals and academics, economists and businesspeople, people from the media, artists, security experts and environmentalists. Each and every one of you – in your own field, with your own dream, with your own contribution – make the impossible possible.Therefore, tonight I would like to talk to you about one of the more significant matters on the global agenda: eliminating the world’s dependence on fossil fuels, particularly oil.We all know the simple truth: dependence on oil endangers the world. It is a threat to our security, our economy and the environment.

Our security, because dependence on fossil fuels strengthens the dark regimes that encourage instability and fund terror with their petrodollars.Our economy, because if we don’t develop alternative energy sources, the demand for fossil fuels will increase and the supply will decrease. This will lead to an increase in prices, which in turn will adversely affect global economic development in countries that import fossil fuels – which is the majority of countries. This will cause serious economic harm.Environmentally, because the pollution from fossil fuels poisons the air that we breathe, the water that we drink and the food that we eat.Our dependence on oil harms us and the Earth every day, and has done so for decades.To counteract all this, we must set a goal: we must free ourselves from our dependence on oil. I know it seems impossible, but believe me – it is possible. Sometimes all it takes is one or two inventions to make a breakthrough and change the world.Look at salt during the 19th century. Until the beginning of the 20th century, salt was a luxury item used to preserve food. Caravans of camels carried salt through the Sahara Desert, and the salt was traded for gold. Entire empires became rich trading salt, because of the world’s dependence on salt.But two inventions were made. The first was the canning process and the second was refrigeration, and all at once the world’s huge dependence on salt was eliminated. As a result, the salt empires crashed almost overnight.Is Israel the country that will discover the breakthrough that will free the world of its dependence on fossil fuels?

I believe so because Israel has two significant resources that provide us with a good chance of doing so.
-We have the minds and the hearts.
-The capability, the will.
Israel is very advanced in the technological fields – agro-tech, hi-tech, nanotechnology, solar energy, battery technologies and renewable energies.Naturally, we are leading candidates to create a global revolution in the clean energy field because of this capacity.Here is the essence of what I’m saying. It’s possible to change the world. The greatest changes in man’s history occurred when there was not only a technological change, but a conceptual change.For many generations, hundreds of thousands of years, man was a hunter-gather. He went to seek out food. He had to go great distances, chase animals to get the protein he needed, or to look for berries or fruit to gather so he’d have the nutrients that were needed for life.
These nomadic hunter-gatherer patterns changed one day, because man realized that the food was right underneath his feet. And that was the day that agriculture was born.We are hunter-gatherers for energy. We go to the depths of the oceans. We seek energy from the bowels of the Earth and distant lands. But the energy is right under our noses. It’s all around us. It’s bountiful. It’s in the sun. It’s in the wind. It’s in the water. We just have to tap it.I think we have the capacity to develop this. Our Nobel Prize winners were mentioned – yes, we have per capita more Nobel Prize winners than any other country, than any other people. We have the second largest concentration of technological capacity; in terms of venture capital, the highest per capita by far. We have scientific publications and we have patents in abundance. So we have the capacity, including in these areas – the development of energy from hydrogen, from water, the development of solar energy and other energies. We have the brains, but we also have the will.

Because think what this will mean for our national security. Think of what it would mean for our future if the world ended its dependence on fossil fuels, and especially on oil. By changing this dependence, we can change the world.I don’t know which technology will triumph. Yesterday, Ray Kurzweil, who hasn’t changed a bit in 35 years – I remember you from MIT, Ray – you gave us a course on entrepreneurship and you proceeded to be an entrepreneur, like Shimon Peres, in your own great scientific capacities. Yesterday you said that the efficiency of solar energy doubles every two years. You said that we live in a very brief generation that will develop the energy of the proximate future. If that’s the case, then we’re in good shape. But I say let’s make it happen faster.If we have placed a man on the moon, surely we can harness the energy of the sun.What I propose to do today is to establish a nation commission of scientists, engineers, business and government people to set a goal that within ten years, we’ll have a practical, clean, efficient substitute for oil. I think it’s possible. I think we can make the impossible possible.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have never been accused of being a disciple of government intervention. However, sometimes the private market simply cannot create the critical mass of activities needed to make such a big change. Sometimes it needs a push and support from the government.Finding an alternative to oil is a critical matter for the State of Israel must deal with – with regard to geopolitics, security concerns, environmental concerns, to secure the future and to change the world’s order of priorities.
Therefore, I repeat my announcement that I am going to establish a national commission comprised of scientists, manufacturers, engineers, businesspeople and government officials, with the goal of formulating a practical plan for efficient development in technologies and engineering in order to replace fossil fuels within the decade. I ask the minds and talents who are here, and around the world, to help.

It is not in our interest alone. The resources need not be exclusively Israel’s. Most of the world shares this interest. But Israel has a strong and clear interest in achieving this.For out of Zion will come Torah”: We are commanded to bring a new light to the world. God willing, with your help and the help of many others around the world, we will make the impossible possible.Bibi Report

Zionist Tzohar Rabbis want to Register Marriages, Too
by Gil Ronen OCT 21,09


(IsraelNN.com) The Tzohar Rabbis organization, which provides rabbinical services from Zionist rabbis, seeks to establish its own independent system for registration of marriages, along the same framework as the one maintained by the hareidi-religious Badatz courts [Badatz is the Hebrew acronym for Court of Justice – ed.].

Rabbi David Stav of the Tzohar Rabbis leadership told Arutz Sheva of the new initiative.Today, formally, it is the local rabbinates that are authorized to register marriages, in the marriage departments. However, you never actually see hareidi-religious Jews going there to register for marriage, because the hareidi Jews can register for marriage at the various Badatz courts, which have deals with local rabbinates that allow them to register marriages and later pass on the paperwork to the rabbinate.Many people prefer to register with the Badatz courts because the bureaucracy there is not as bad, he explained.Zionist-religious and even secular couples go to those Badatz courts because there is not a long line there, you don't need to go back several times to complete the paperwork, and you do not need to bring witnesses to testify that you are single. Also, there are many who want a specific rabbi to perform the ceremony although the rabbinate does not approve that rabbi, while the Badatz courts have no supervision and they let almost anyone marry couples.He called upon the Chief Rabbinate to allow Tzohar into the system as well.We ask the Rabbinate – just as you recognized the Badatz marriage registrants, we too are worthy of doing it. As of today there is no legal body known as the Tzohar Rabbis but on the ground, we are already carrying out marriages according to the rabbinate's criteria, and we already teach brides in preparation for their weddings. But we do not have the authority to complete the bureaucratic process.

OBAMA WATCH CENTRAL Meet White House adviser who supports Islamic law-Muslim leader says Dalia Mogahed shares the outlook of Islamists in Egypt, Pakistan October 21, 2009 9:50 pm Eastern By Art Moore 2009 WorldNetDaily

Dalia Mogahed-She describes her role in the Obama administration as a communicator to the president and other public officials of what it is Muslims want.But Muslims such as Steven Schwartz, a prominent American convert to Islam and ardent critic of Muslim fundamentalism, contend Dalia Mogahed, a scheduled speaker at the annual fundraiser Saturday in Washington for the controversial Council on American-Islamic Relations', certainly doesn't speak for them.A senior analyst and executive director of the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies, Mogahed was appointed to President Obama's Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.The Egyptian-born, hijab-clad adviser drew attention earlier this month when she defended Shariah, or Islamic law, on a British television show hosted by a member of an extremist Muslim group, insisting the majority of women around the world associate Shariah with gender justice.Schwartz, executive director of the Center for Islamic Pluralism, states in a column for the Weekly Standard that according to Mogahed's view, Muslims are either fundamentalist or confused.Their attitudes toward Islamic law are divided, in her terms, only between supposedly wanting Shariah to be the sole source of governance and seeing it as one source of legislation among various canons,he writes.But for her, even this distinction is less important than proclaiming the satisfaction of Muslim women with Shariah.

Get Muslim Mafia,autographed, from WND's Superstore -As late as Oct. 15, CAIR's promotion of its 15th annual banquet listed Mogahed as a keynote speaker along with a controversial imam, Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing investigation who has been recorded calling for the violent replacement of the U.S. government with a Saudi-style Islamic system.But by Friday, days after the release of Muslim Mafia – a book citing internal documents obtained in an undercover operation that establish CAIR functions as a political front group for the Egyptian-based Muslim Brotherhood – Mogahed's name was replaced with civil rights activist Jesse Jackson's. Mogahed's assistant says, however, he hasn't been informed of any changes.Schwartz says Mogahed shares the outlook of Islamists in Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan and other countries threatened by fundamentalist tyranny, in which religious governance is posed as the sole alternative to secular dictatorship.
Pointing to her views expressed to a church leader writing in Christian Century magazine, Schwartz says that while Muslims around the world are increasingly turning toward civil society, Dalia Mogahed offers the retrograde fantasy of Shariah as liberating, even as comparable with the principles of the Declaration of Independence.Schwartz says Mogahed's defense of Islamic law in the British TV interview as feminist was objectionable because Shariah is most often employed to oppress women, not to free them from the blandishments of the sinful West.

Dalia Mogahed-The Mogahed approach discounts the widespread, moderate Muslim view that Shariah, like other canons of religious law, should apply only to standards for diet, forms of prayer, and other strictly individual or personal options,contends Schwartz.Such an individual,he concludes,is inappropriate as an adviser to the president and can do great harm by providing an American seal of approval to extreme Shariah ideology.We should not be surprised to find that leftists are not the only people with an extreme ideology present in the Obama team,says Schwartz.Mogahed earned a master's in business at the University of Pittsburgh and worked for Procter & Gamble before teaming with prominent Georgetown professor John L. Esposito on a study called Who Speaks for Islam? What a Billion Muslims Really Think.Schwartz calls the subtitle of the study, based on Gallup polling, wildly overreaching.
Mogahed says she is simply a researcher capable of offering accurately, and in a representative way, the actual views of Muslims.In an interview with Islam Online in April, Mogahed said she didn't consider herself an adviser on Islam. Her role in the Obama administration, she explained, is to convey the facts about what Muslims think and feel.I see my role as offering the voices of the silenced majority of Muslims in America and around the world to the council so that our deliberations are informed by their ideas and wisdom,she said.I believe that I was chosen because the administration cares about what Muslims think and wants to listen.

Non-violent destruction-Her British TV interview earlier this month was for a London-based discussion program hosted by Ibtihal Bsis, a member of the extremist Hizb ut Tahrir party, the London Telegraph reported.

Hizb ut Tahrir logo-Hizb ut Tahrir has declared it wants to help foster the non-violent destruction of Western democracy and the creation of a global Islamic state under Shariah.Mogahed, appearing alongside Hizb ut Tahrir's national women's officer, Nazreen Nawaz, watched as two members of the radical group made repeated attacks on secular man-made law and the West's lethal cocktail of liberty and capitalism,the Telegraph reported.The Hizb ut Tahrir members called for Shariah to be the source of legislation and said women should not be permitted to hold a position of leadership in government.Schwartz noted Mogahed didn't object to anything the Hizb ut Tahrir members said.While television debate between sharply-opposed individuals has become a dominant form of public communication all over the world, Dalia Mogahed made no effort, in her encounter with an extremist advocate, to establish any distance between their views,he writes in his Weekly Standard column.
Mogahed's assistant, Jason Bough, told WND that as far as he knew, Mogahed was still scheduled to speak at the CAIR banquet Saturday. He said he had no idea why her name had been replaced with Jackson's in CAIR's promotion of the event.

Imam Siraj Wahhaj-CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper did not reply to WND's request for clarification and comment.As WND reported, a nonprofit activist group that alerts Americans about the threat of radical Islam launched a campaign earlier this week to urge the Marriott Crystal Gateway hotel in Arlington, Va., to cancel its hosting of the CAIR banquet.Former Republican Rep. Paul Findley of Illinois, a supporter of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, also will speak, according to CAIR. In the wake of 9/11, Findley blamed the attacks on America's support for Israel. He released a book shortly before 9/11, Silent No More,that sought to improve the image of Islam in the U.S. He charged President Bush overreacted to the 9/11 attacks, and he claimed Americans had been misled by the American media, which is controlled by the Jewish lobby.If you're a member of the media and would like to interview Paul Sperry, Dave Gaubatz or Chris Gaubatz, e-mail WND's marketing department or call Anita Jenkins at (703) 398-1137.

FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU Mideast leaders believe they can blackmail, cheat U.S. May harden positions following Obama's overtures to foes October 21, 200911:55 pm Eastern By Aaron Klein 2009 WorldNetDaily

President Obama-TEL AVIV – Amid recent White House overtures to Syria and Iran, some Mideast leaders are considering hardening their positions against the U.S., believing they may extract more concessions from a conciliatory Obama administration.Instead of being pro-American and receiving little, maybe we should change our model to blackmailing and cheating you. This way we will bring more American support,a Palestinian Authority official told WND yesterday.The official was offering his analysis of the current U.S. position in the Middle East. He spoke on condition his name be withheld. The official claimed some in the PA were considering adopting a stronger position so we can have what Syria received without offering much in return.The official was referring to a partnership deal announced earlier this month that will see billions of dollars in trade flow between the European Union and Syria. Egyptian and Palestinian diplomatic sources told WND the Obama administration was instrumental in facilitating the deal, which is worth an estimated $7 billion a year for the Syrian economy.U.S. opposition was a main factor in the deal being delayed since it was drawn up as a draft pact in 2004. The Bush administration was particularly opposed to Syria's interference in Lebanese affairs and Damascus' military alliance with Iran.According to the Egyptian and Palestinian diplomatic sources, the Obama administration dropped American opposition to the deal without first extracting a concession from Syria to end its alliance with Iran.

The sources told WND the White House received pledges from Syria to collaborate with the West in Lebanon and Iraq and to play a more constructive role in the Middle East.The Obama administration also recently announced it would send an ambassador to Syria. The U.S. withdrew its ambassador from Damascus four years ago in protest against the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, an attack widely blamed on Damascus.A top official from Syria's Ministry of Information previously told WND the Obama administration did not extract any concessions from Syria in exchange for the new U.S. ambassador.The PA official, speaking to WND yesterday, confirmed: All the Syrians did was blackmail the Americans. They didn't give the U.S. anything besides some improvement on the Syrian-Iraqi borders. In all the other cases, they didn't change their policy. They are interfering in Lebanon and shipping weapons to Hezbollah. They are partners in the region with Iran. Syria didn't change its equation with Hamas.The PA official also noted U.S. willingness to engage with Iran despite the idea of major compromise being rejected by the Iranians.
Separately, an Egyptian intelligence official told WND yesterday his country is also considering changing some of its attitudes in light of the U.S.'s new Syrian policies.He said Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was contemplating a visit to Syria in the next few months.

Dep. Min.Warns of Earthquake by Gil Ronen OCT 21,09

(IsraelNN.com) Deputy Minister of Defense Matan Vilnai participated Wednesday morning in a readiness exercise for an earthquake scenario in Akko (Acre).I want to remind you of the earthquake we experienced in October 1973 – a man-made earthquake, he said – referring to the Yom Kippur War. Just as we were surprised then, in a real earthquake that comes from nature we will be more surprised,he warned.We will not be able to depend on the fighting spirit of people on the ground, Vilnai added. Rather, we will have to be prepared and trained for tough situations in which the local authorities will have to function independently for many days.Yesterday I visited Tzfat [Safed] and Tveryah [Tiberias] and I was glad to see a much better state of preparedness than in the Second Lebanon war,he said.We need to be ready for every possible scenario, not just military but also natural disasters like earthquakes.In mid-2008, increased seismic activity in Israel's north led the government to begin preparing for the possibility of a major earthquake. At the time, Geophysical Institute of Israel director Rami Hopsteter advised Israelis to do what they could to ensure that their surroundings were safe in case of earthquake.In September 2009, Israel conducted the first successful test on a system designed to protect schoolchildren in case of an earthquake. If the earthquake cage device passes future tests, it may be installed in schools throughout the country.

Tropical storm hits Mexican resort, topples trees By GUILLERMO ARIAS, Associated Press Writer - OCT 21, 11:30PM

MAZATLAN, Mexico – Tropical Storm Rick hit Mexico's Pacific coast just north of the resort of Mazatlan on Wednesday, toppling trees and signs after sparing Los Cabos on the Baja California peninsula a direct blow. There were no reports of significant damage or injuries.The center of the storm made landfall around 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT) with winds of about 55 mph (90 kph), kicking up high waves that drew residents of Mazatlan to the city's seaside boulevard to watch the spectacle.After moving over land, the storm dissipated by the afternoon, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

A steady rain began pelting the city late Tuesday as the storm approached. Rick's winds toppled several trees, and electricity was knocked out in parts of the city, Sinaloa Gov. Jesus Aguilar told local media.Authorities canceled classes in the southern part of Sinaloa state, where Mazatlan is located, and urged residents to evacuate some low-lying neighborhoods.Tourists in Los Cabos, meanwhile, awoke to a blue, cloud-streaked sky Wednesday morning. There were no reports of flooding overnight, according to Los Cabos civil defense director Francisco Cota.Forecasters said the remnants of Rick could dump about one inch of rain in parts of northern Mexico, creating the risk of flash floods and mudslides.Over the weekend, Rick's winds were clocked at 180 mph (290 kph) — making it the strongest hurricane in the eastern North Pacific region since 1997 — and it kicked up high waves hundreds of miles (kilometers) away that killed at least two people.

But the storm spent its force far out at sea and weakened over cooler waters.Far out in the Pacific Ocean, meanwhile, Hurricane Neki strengthened to a Category 3 storm with top winds near 120 mph (190 kph).Wednesday afternoon, Neki was centered about 600 miles (965 kilometers) west-southwest of Honolulu and about 360 miles (580 kilometers) south of French Frigate Shoals.The storm was not expected to threaten Hawaii, but a hurricane warning was issued for part of the Papahanaumokuakea National Monument, a marine conservation area northwest of the islands.Also Wednesday, a river overflowed its banks in the Central American nation of Honduras, flooding hamlets and cutting off transport routes to several towns on the country's Caribbean coast.Juan Cesar Cruz, the head of Honduras' civil defense agency, said a dozen roads had been cut by the flooding. The flooding was caused by heavy rains that started Sunday.

Tropical storm Rick threatens flash floods in Mexico Wed Oct 21, 12:59 pm ET

MEXICO CITY (AFP) – Tropical storm Rick made landfall Wednesday in northwestern Mexico having lost its punch as a former top-strength hurricane, but still threatened the region with heavy rain and flash floods, US forecasters said.Rick's eye hit Mexico's northwestern Pacific coast at 7:00 am (1400 GMT), some 15 miles (25 kilometers) north of the port of Mazatlan, said the Miami-based US National Hurricane Center.The storm, which was downgraded early Tuesday from hurricane status, was packing winds of 50 miles (85 kilometers) an hour.With possible rainfall of 10 inches (25 centimeters) over Sinaloa and the central state of Durango in the next day, the NHC warned the rains could produce life-threatening flash floods and mud slides.The storm system had become a shadow of the category-five monster it was over the weekend.Giant waves whipped up by Rick caused one death on Sunday and forced the evacuation of some of Los Cabos' famous tourist beaches.Baja California also was battered in early September by Hurricane Jimena, which caused floods that killed at least one person.

Canada: Revive Refugee Committee
by Gil Ronen OCT 21,09


(IsraelNN.com) Canadian Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon held a working meeting with President Shimon Peres Wednesday. After the meeting Cannon said that his country wants to make a meaningful contribution to the peace process between Israel and its neighbors. Cannon said that he intends to present the Canadian Prime Minister with a plan to revive the multilateral refugee committee headed by Canada that was established in the Madrid Conference in 1991. The committee, he aid, should be recreated with the consent of all parties and it could have a decisive effect on solving the refugee problem.Peres told Cannon that Israel attaches great importance to strengthening its strategic ties with Canada and that it thanks your country for supporting us over many years.The President went on to blast the Goldstone Report and said that it is unthinkable that the UN bodies give a green light to the writing of a report whose conclusions were determined even before it was written and it is full of manipulations, ignores facts and above all, gives a prize to terror.Cannon said: Canada stands besides you and with you, especially in the struggle against the terror threats and expressions that oppose the existence of the Jewish state or the Jewish nation. These things are foreign to Canada's values and to Canada itself.

Rabbi Elyashiv: Refuse Money from IFCJ
by Gil Ronen OCT 21,09


(IsraelNN.com) Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, one of the top Torah authorities in the hareidi-religious world, has issued a ruling that says that the public may not take money from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (Keren HaYedidut) headed by Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein.Groups that take money from the fund are flouting the Torah's prohibition of idolatry, Rabbi Elyashiv said, and they even aid future missionary activities and grant them legitimacy.We regret to say that we have learned that several institutions, organizations and charity groups have made mistakes of this nature,he added.Taking money from this fund is an unclean act, the elderly rabbi said. Other rabbis who made similar decisions include R. Samuel Auerbach, R Nissim Kerlitz, R. Ovadia Yosef, R. Mordechai Eliyahu and others.The IFCJ was founded in Chicago in 1983 by Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein. The fact that it takes money from Christian groups causes much suspicion in some religious Jewish circles. However, other religious circles have no problem with the group.

Chabad Opens Revamped Multiple Sclerosis Center by Gil Ronen OCT 20,09(IsraelNN.com)

A new building in the enlarged and improved Grabski Multiple Sclerosis Center in Migdal HaEmek was inaugurated this week in a ceremony attended by Welfare Minister Yitzchak Herzog. The center is Israel's first and only dedicated residential and outpatient center devoted exclusively to patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, a degenerative disease that ultimately leads to complete incapacitation.The Grabski MS Center serves patients and families from Beit Shean, Afula, Hadera, Nazareth and the Galilee region. A second location is currently being planned for Beitar Illit to serve patients in the Jerusalem area. The Multiple Sclerosis Center is designed to provide a full home environment for 32 live-in patients, including four apartments for married couples. In addition, the Center serves 35 daily outpatients. Its construction was made possible by the generosity of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (Keren HaYedidut).The inauguration: A new building, and patients with Rabbi Ze'ev Crombie. (Israel news photos: Chabad)Currently, ten additional private rooms are being constructed in order to increase the inpatient population to 42 – each with the comfort and dignity of their own private room. In addition, government approval has been granted to create a day care center for those who are seriously handicapped physically but are not victims of MS.These clients prefer to live in their own homes but can benefit from a day program that offers round-trip transportation, two meals per day, and a full range of activities and therapies to maximize their quality of life. Life at the Center is designed to keep patients busy all day long with a full set of programs including outings, classes, psychotherapy, physiotherapy, holiday celebrations, horticultural therapy, art/ceramics, and three meals daily.While government subsidies only allow for manual wheelchairs, patients at the center all receive the most advanced electronic wheelchairs. As a patient's condition deteriorates to the point where he or she can no longer get out of bed unassisted, they are not moved to a ward. Rather, an electronic hoist is installed that allows them to remain in their own room for as long as they live.In addition to its dedicated staff of physicians, nurses and therapists, the Center is staffed by young women who are carrying out their National Service (in lieu of military service).

PAUL ON AUDIT FED
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obNhUNn2hX0&feature=player_embedded

AUDIT THE FED HAS 304 HOUSE AND 30 SENATE MEMBERS SIGNED UP SO FAR.

Press Release: Federal Reserve Accountability Act An Unacceptable Compromise
Gary Howard Campaign For Liberty Wednesday, Oct 21st, 2009


Today, Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Bob Corker (R-TN) introduced the Federal Reserve Accountability Act, an attempted compromise on the issue of transparency for America’s secretive central bank. The bill would permit an audit of the Fed’s actions in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and similar high profile bailouts, but would not allow Congress to review the Fed’s inflation of the money supply or the its agreements with foreign central banks.Legislation that would bring a full audit of the Fed, Congressman Ron Paul’s H.R. 1207 and its Senate companion S. 604, has gained strong grassroots support and built tremendous pressure on banking special interests.Opponents of Fed Transparency argue that a full audit of the Federal Reserve would damage the central bank’s independence and allow Congress to dictate monetary policy.Claims that transparency at the Federal Reserve would leave Congress in charge of monetary policy are simply bogus,said Jesse Benton, Senior Vice President of Campaign for Liberty.There is absolutely no reason why The American People should not be able to review the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee after a reasonable amount of time has passed.

The Federal Reserve Accountability Act does not audit the monetary policy functions which have been responsible for our deteriorating dollar and so many of our current economic problems, and it is not an acceptable piece of legislation. Campaign for Liberty will continue to push for a full audit of the Fed.The announcement of the new legislation comes after the number of cosponsors in the House of Representatives for H.R. 1207 recently climbed to 303, and S. 604 gained 30 senate cosponsors. Campaign for Liberty has been leading the grassroots effort on H.R .1207, getting it to its current point with 75% of Americans showing support for a thorough audit of the Federal Reserve.

THE NEW WORLD DISORDER Is alternative to dollar in works? Plan for Special Drawing Rights creates competition for reserve currency October 20, 2009 9:38 pm Eastern By Jerome R. Corsi 2009 WorldNetDaily

The administration of President Barack Obama, without congressional authorization, is advancing a plan that could end the use of the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency by setting up International Monetary Fund Special Drawing Rights to compete. The move comes as the dollar heads toward a 14-month low of $1.50/euro and as some top fund managers, including some of President Obama's top financial supporters, worry the decline will continue as long as Obama depends on China to fund trillion dollar budget deficits.It is Obama's promise to participate in a G20 nations agreement by giving $250 billion to the IMF to set up the alternative reserve currency that now has been documented in the final communiqué of the London meeting, according to the G20 website.At G20.org, a report under The London Summit 2009 reveals the LondonSummit.gov.uk/en/ site where Point 5 of the final communiqué says the G20 agreed to allocate that amount to Special Drawing Rights in a move calculated to provide the liquidity needed to position SDRs as a dollar alternative in international trade.

Plans for the dollar alternative are coming into play just as a former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher says the real purpose of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen on Dec. 7-18 is to use global warming hype as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world government.At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed,Lord Christopher Monckton told a Minnesota Free Market Institute audience recently at Bethel University in St. Paul.Your president will sign it. Most of the Third World countries will sign it, because they think they're going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regimes from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won't sign it,he said.I think the dollar is now under question,billionaire investor George Soros told CNBC during the G20 summit in London, noting that Obama agreed with the G20 to utilize the IMF to fund a one-world currency dollar alternative for international trade.Soros, one of presidential candidate Obama's leading financial backers, also has launched a new attack against the dollar by calling on China to stop pegging Chinese currency to the dollar, a move that would cause the dollar to fall in value.The Soros-run hedge firm Soros Fund Management continues to bet against the dollar in keeping with the hedge firm's reputation for betting against currencies Soros sees as weak.International investment managers take warnings by Soros seriously, remembering that Soros earned his first $1 billion in 1992 by betting against the British pound.Legendary hedge fund manager Julian Robertson Jr. joined Soros in warning that the United States' increasing reliance on China to fund trillion dollar Obama administration budget deficits will prolong the painful effects of the current economic recession.I think that if the Chinese stop buying our debt, it is virtually the end of the financial world as we know it,Robinson told the Financial Times in London last week.The conventional thinking is that they will continue buying. But I don't think it's logical to assume somebody will continue to buy paper that declines in value. Our dollar is declining in value, and it's been pretty shocking over the last four or five months,he said.At its height in the late 1990s, Robertson's Tiger Management Fund had a reported $22 billion in assets under management.

WND previously reported that strong support for the idea of a one-world currency has come from Canadian economist and Nobel-prize winner Professor Robert Mundell, an influential Columbia University professor who is considered the father of the euro.
Robert Mundell-Mundell, currently an adviser to China, was the originator of the suggestion that the IMF should utilize SDRs to replace the dollar as a new world standard for holding foreign exchange reserves in international trade transactions.

In 1999, Mundell won a Nobel Prize for arguing that nation states like the United States were not optimum currency areas for one-country currencies like the dollar, whereas regional markets, such as the European Union, were optimum currency areas that would justify creating regional currencies such as the euro.WND also has reported Benn Steil, a senior fellow and director of International Economics at the Council of Foreign Relations, wrote in the May/June 2007 issue of the Council of Foreign Relations' Foreign Affairs magazine an article entitled,The End of National Currency,in which his major conclusion was that countries should abandon monetary nationalism.

What are IMF Special Drawing Rights?

SDRs are international reserve assets that are calculated by the IMF in a basket of major currencies allocated to the 185 member nation-states of the IMF in relation to the capital, largely in gold or widely accepted foreign currencies, that the IMF member nation-states have on deposit with the IMF.As Red Alert previously reported, the proposal originally advanced by China and Russia would issue SDRs to central banks of IMF member states far in excess of any gold or currency reserves the member states have on deposit with the IMF.The idea is to utilize the little-understood and largely-ignored SDRs in a new capacity as a sort of an international overdraft facility made available to bankrupt or financially failing IMF member nation-states.

The IMF created SDRs in 1969 to support the Bretton Woods fixed exchange rate system.The international supply of two key reserve assets – gold and the U.S. dollar – proved inadequate for supporting the expansion of world trade and financial development that was taking place,a document on the IMF website explains. Therefore, the international community decided to create a new international reserve asset under the auspices of the IMF.When the Bretton Woods fixed rate system collapsed, major world currencies, including the dollar, shifted to a floating exchange rate system where the price of the dollar and other major world currencies was created by trading on international currency exchanges.Until the current global economic crisis, SDRs issued by the IMF have been used by IMF member nation states primarily as a reserve account to support international trade transactions, not as an alternative international currency available to settle international debt transactions in danger of default.

Is a Weak Dollar a Strong Sign? Not So Fast! William Anderson
Campaign For Liberty Wednesday, Oct 21st, 2009


Readers of George Orwell’s 1984 might recall Big Brother’s claims that war is peace or freedom is slavery. Orwell was writing a novel, but some of the commentary these days makes me think that elite economists have taken residence in Oceania’s Ministry of Truth.Today, the champion—the uncontested champion of Orwell’s truth—is Paul Krugman, the 2008 Nobel laureate, Princeton professor, and New York Times columnist. For those who read his twice-weekly column or glance at his blogs and commentary elsewhere, it is like reading the latest pronouncements from the Ministry of Truth, and, like in Oceania, it seems that the masses believe the nonsense.Had I not read Krugman’s column, I never would have known that Jimmy Carter, who began the modern deregulation movement, was a right-wing Republican, or that the solution to almost all our economic ills is for the government to raise taxes, borrow, and print more money. However, his latest missive has managed even to outdo the Ministry of Truth itself. Big Brother would have been ecstatic.There is not enough byte space in the universe to refute Krugman’s latest pronouncement completely, but a couple of the most glaring holes can be discussed here.As most readers know, the U.S. Dollar has been falling fast against other currencies and members of OPEC are balking at continuing to price crude oil exclusively in dollars. Instead, they have suggested a basket of currencies, as they realize that our government’s policies are likely to turn the USD into something like the Zimbabwean Dollar.

Enter Professor Krugman, who writes:The truth is that the falling dollar is good news. For one thing, it’s mainly the result of rising confidence: the dollar rose at the height of the financial crisis as panicked investors sought safe haven in America, and it’s falling again now that the fear is subsiding. And a lower dollar is good for U.S. exporters, helping us make the transition away from huge trade deficits to a more sustainable international position.Not so fast. The USD is falling because the rest of the world understands that the USA no longer is a “safe haven” and investors looking elsewhere. When super investors like Jim Rogers tell us to get out of this country altogether, people need to listen. Rogers does not have a Nobel to his credit, but he is no crackpot and he fully understands (unlike some American Ph.D.s) that the U.S. Government does not create wealth with the printing press.While it is true that a falling dollar does make U.S. exports cheaper, the question is what can we export other than commodities. The government’s environmental policies alone continue to raise the cost of manufacturing and we are being forced by the political classes to divert productive resources into failed enterprises like General Motors and the zombie financial institutions on Wall Street.

Alas, Krugman does not stop there. No, he claims that what our economy desperately needs is—get this—more easy credit.That is right; the very thing that gave us massive malinvestments and brought the U.S. economy to near-ruin is what we desperately need. As I have written elsewhere, this is like claiming that the best way to deal with alcohol addiction is to imbibe even more.For all the talk that the government’s policies of bailouts, printing money, and borrowing at record rates have prevented a second Great Depression, the truth is that all the government has done is to give the illusion of recovery while setting us up for an even worse Day of Reckoning. By keeping the zombie entities afloat, the government continues to force even more malinvestments at a time when liquidation is the order of the day.

The Keynesian propositions of printing money and borrowing might be popular to the political and intellectual elites of this country, but they are utterly destructive in the real world. Unfortunately, we are being fed Orwellian truths at a time when what we need to hear is the unadulterated truth.

Treasury to order bailed-out firms to slash pay By MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer – OCT 22,09

WASHINGTON – The Treasury Department is expected in the next few days to order companies that received huge government bailouts last year to slash the base salaries of their top executives by an average of 90 percent and cut their total compensation in half, according to a person familiar with the matter.The cuts apply to the 25 highest paid executives at the seven companies that received the most assistance, the person said Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the decision has not been announced. Smaller companies and those that have repaid the bailout money, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co., are not affected.Kenneth Feinberg, the special master at Treasury appointed to handle compensation issues as part of the government's $700 billion financial bailout package, is making the pay decisions.The seven companies are Bank of America Corp., American International Group Inc., Citigroup Inc., General Motors, GMAC, Chrysler and Chrysler Financial.It was unclear exactly how much the executives would be allowed to make, or how that would be determined. Each case is being handled individually, and no details were available on how the calculations were being made.

Tom Wilkinson, a GM spokesman, said Wednesday that the auto company was currently in discussions with Mr. Feinberg's office regarding executive compensation. We will have further information once those discussions have concluded.Gina Proia, a spokeswoman for GMAC, said the finance company has been working on a proposal that aims at embodying the principles set forth for compensation along with balancing the need to retain critical talent necessary to execute our turnaround. Until we receive notification about that plan, we have no further comment.

Chrysler Group issued a similar statement.

Representatives for Chrysler Financial, Bank of America, Citigroup and AIG declined to comment.But company officials and lobbyists earlier this month said Bank of America, Citigroup, GMAC Financial Services and others were reworking their pay plans to ensure compensation reflects executive performance. They're giving executives more of their compensation in stock and stock options, and spreading pay over a longer period. They are also adopting plans to recapture some pay when bets go bad.The changes are not limited to those on Feinberg's list. JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. also are compensating senior employees with more stock and less cash.In the AIG trading division, the arm of the company whose risky trades caused its downfall, no top executive will receive more than $200,000 in total compensation, the person familiar with Feinberg's plan said. The giant insurance company has received taxpayer assistance valued at more than $180 billion.In an August filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, AIG disclosed that new CEO Robert Benmosche would be paid $7 million a year, with the potential to make millions more in performance-based incentives. According to reports from the time, the package included $3 million initially with $4 million in stock to be held for five years as well as performance bonuses.As CEO, Benmosche's pay would be considered outside of the $200,000 average compensation for AIG's trading unit. But, according to reports at the time, Feinberg saw splitting the salary and future stock bonuses as a model because it tied compensation to the company's long-range performance.The administration will warn AIG that it must significantly reduce the $198 million in bonuses promised to employees in its financial services division, the person familiar with Feinberg's decisions said.The pay restrictions for all seven companies will require any executive seeking more than $25,000 in special benefits — things such as country club memberships, private planes and company cars —to get permission for those perks from the government.

Until now, these companies were only required to provide guidelines for the use of such luxuries. The inspector general at Treasury who oversees the bailout program found a range of standards. GM, for instance, generally prohibits employees from flying in private jets for business travel. Bank of America, on the other hand, encourages senior management to use corporate aircraft for safety and efficiency purposes.Feinberg's decisions come days after administration officials voiced sharp criticism of plans by some firms, particularly those on Wall Street, to pay huge bonuses even as the country continues to struggle with rising unemployment and the effects of the recession.Goldman Sachs, which has paid back its bailout money, has said it earmarked $16.7 billion for compensation so far this year, more than $500,000per employee. Citigroup is paying $5.3 billion in bonuses to its employees and Bank of America $3.3 billion.Elsewhere, Freddie Mac is giving its chief financial officer compensation worth as much as $5.5 million, including a $2 million signing bonus. The government-controlled mortgage finance company doesn't have to follow the executive compensation rules because it is being paid outside the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.Congress passed legislation in February requiring Treasury to oversee pay at companies that took bailout money. Treasury created the pay czar's office in June as one means of implementing that law.Treasury's rules require the special master to review pay for the 25 top earners at companies that received exceptional assistance,examining overall pay structures and recapturing payouts that go against taxpayers' interests.Feinberg on Tuesday told a Washington audience that negotiating with the companies was a study in contradictions.Perfect metrics, competitive pay, no excessive risk, loyalty to the company,he said.What I have to do under the law — and everyone's waiting is to create compensation packages reflecting those often conflicting principals.

Feinberg has until Oct. 30 to design pay packages for top earners.Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, a Republican member of the congressional panel that oversees the $700 billion fund, said the only way taxpayers end up subsidizing offensive executive salaries is when the government bails out the executives and the companies they run in the first place.Hensarling called again Wednesday for terminating the bailout program at the end of this year.Associated Press Writers Ken Thomas, Jim Kuhnhenn and Marcy Gordon contributed to this report.

Twitter becomes mutual friend of Google, Microsoft By MICHAEL LIEDTKE, AP Technology Writer - Thu Oct 22, 2009 12:22AM EDT

SAN FRANCISCO - Twitter Inc. is selling the rights to mine its communications hotbed to both Internet search leader Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp. in dueling deals that underscore the growing importance of being able to show what's on people's minds at any given moment.The announcements made Wednesday within a three-hour span also represent the latest bit of gamesmanship between two of technology's fiercest — and most powerful — rivals.Microsoft seemed to have seized the upper hand in the information arms race when its top Internet executive, Qi Lu, took the stage at a technology conference in San Francisco.Lu used the platform to declare Microsoft's search engine, Bing, would become the best way outside of Twitter's own Web site to find out what people are saying in their Twitter messages, or tweets.The messages, consisting of no more than 140 characters, can be posted from Internet-connected computers or mobile devices, enabling people to share mundane details about their lives or intriguing news and commentary from all over the world.It's real-time information that it didn't look like Google's search engine would be able to provide — the kind of competitive advantage that Microsoft has been seeking while investing billions of dollars in what so far has been a fruitless effort to narrow Google's huge lead in Internet search.Refusing to be upstaged, Google revealed on its blog that its search engine has secured the tweeting rights, too.Neither Microsoft nor Google would disclose how much it is paying for the rights to index the millions of public updates distributed by Twitter each day. The data is considered to be among Twitter's most valuable assets, raising the possibility that the Google and Microsoft deals will result in the first meaningful revenue for the San Francisco-based startup since its 2006 inception.

There is a revenue component ... but we've yet to see how significant that will be, Twitter Chief Executive Evan Williams wrote in a Wednesday e-mail to The Associated Press.Microsoft has a head start in blending Twitter's feed into Bing's search results. A test version of Bing's Twitter feature debuted Wednesday shortly after the announcement.Google still isn't indexing and displaying all the tweets, although that will happen soon, said Marissa Mayer, a Google executive in charge of search products and user experience. She left little doubt that Google's search engine would become less useful without the Twitter access, especially when people are trying to get updates about an event that just happened.You have to have the answers in order to return them to your users,Mayer said.That's why a deal like this is so important. It allows us to find answers we couldn't previously have found.Microsoft will offer another way to probe into the collective mindset by indexing a portion of the personal updates posted on Facebook — an online hangout with more than 300 million active users around the world. That's about six times the size of Twitter's global audience, but more Facebook users restrict who can see their updates than Twitter users do.Facebook is only giving Bing access to the updates that its users choose to share with everyone, according to Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's chief operating officer. It's unclear when the Facebook updates will begin showing up in Bing's search results.Palo Alto-based Facebook already has a business relationship with Microsoft, which provides Facebook's search results. Microsoft spent $240 million two years ago to acquire a 1.6 percent stake in Facebook.Google, on the other hand, has a prickly relationship with Facebook, which has lured away many of its employees, including Sandberg.Meanwhile, Twitter's growing popularity has emerged as a potential problem for Facebook. Their rivalry has intensified since Twitter rejected Facebook's attempt to buy the service last year.While Facebook expects bring in more than $500 million from selling ads and other services this year, Twitter hasn't been trying to generate revenue until now. Twitter is possibly under more pressure to start making money because a group of investors just poured $100 million into the company and will be looking for returns. The deal valued Twitter at about $1 billion.In internal company documents leaked on the Internet earlier this summer, Twitter projected it would have $140 million in revenue next year.

Oil slips below $81, retreating from 2009 high By ALEX KENNEDY, Associated Press Writer – OCT 22,09

SINGAPORE – Oil prices slipped below $81 a barrel Thursday, retreating from a 2009 high, as a wobbly U.S. dollar steadied in Asian trading.Benchmark crude for December delivery fell 49 cents to $80.88 a barrel at midday Singapore time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.The contract rose $2.25 to settle at $81.37 on Wednesday as the dollar fell to its lowest since August 2008. Crude is traded using dollars, so it gets cheaper when the U.S. currency falls.The euro was steady at $1.4991 on Thursday and the dollar was little changed at 91.19 yen.

Traders also eyed a smaller than expected rise in U.S. crude supply data from the Energy Information Administration on Wednesday. Inventories rose 1.3 million barrels while analysts had expected a rise of 2.2 million barrels, according to a survey by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos.The two-week surge in the oil price has raised the specter that a jump in energy costs would fuel inflation and lead policymakers to ease stimulus spending and raise interest rates, undermining a nascent global economic recovery.It's definitely a potential threat, said David Cohen, director of Asian economic forecasting for consultancy Action Economics. Everybody gets a little nervous when the oil price starts bouncing higher.Energy Secretary Steven Chu said earlier this week that crude prices at $80 per barrel are worrisome.Stock markets, which have soared since March, could see gains reversed if oil and other commodities continue to rally, Cohen said.The recovery is not so fragile that it can't tolerate another dollar or two in the oil price,Cohen said. But when people start getting worried about inflation, that could be a drag on markets.In other Nymex trading, heating oil fell 1.01 cents to $2.10 a gallon. Gasoline for November delivery dropped 1.06 cents to $2.04 a gallon. Natural gas for November delivery was steady at $5.09 per 1,000 cubic feet.In London, Brent crude for December delivery fell 38 cents to $79.31 on the ICE Futures exchange.

Gates: N.Korea still threat to international peace By LARA JAKES and HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press Writers – OCT 22,09

SEOUL, South Korea – U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday that North Korea continues to pose a grave threat to international peace and pledged to maintain a nuclear deterrent in the region.Gates and his South Korean counterpart, Kim Tae-young, said their two nations would never accept North Korea as a nuclear weapons state. They accused the regime of undermining global security with atomic and missile threats, and said recent overtures from Pyongyang do not diminish the serious atomic threat.Ballistic missile and nuclear weapons tests conducted in April and May clearly violate U.N. Security Council resolutions and international disarmament agreements, they said in a joint statement following their talks.The violations undermine the global nonproliferation regime and constitute direct and grave threats to peace and stability not only for South Korea and the region but also for the broader international community, they said.

Earlier, Gates reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to defending ally South Korea.I want to reaffirm the unwavering commitment of the United States to the alliance and to the defense of the Republic of Korea,he said before going into talks with Kim.The United States will continue to provide extended deterrence, using the full range of military capabilities, including the nuclear umbrella to ensure South Korea's security.North Korea sees Washington's nuclear deterrent as a key threat to its survival and long has maintained that it needs its own atomic program to defend itself against the U.S. nuclear umbrella.Gates and Kim said they agreed to cooperate closely on implementing two U.N. Security Council resolutions that seek to stop North Korea from engaging in ballistic missile activity and in working toward bringing North Korea back to disarmament talks that involve Russia, Japan, China, the U.S. and the two Koreas.The strong stance from the top defense officials comes amid some signs of possible softening by North Korea after months of tension over Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs.North Korean leader Kim Jong Il said earlier this month that his country could rejoin six-party nuclear talks, depending on the status of direct talks with the U.S.North Korea's No. 2 nuclear negotiator, Ri Gun, was on his way to the U.S., where he is scheduled to attend a security forum next week in California and a seminar in New York. Ri also reportedly is expected to meet with the chief U.S. nuclear negotiator, Sung Kim, to set up bilateral talks.

Iran envoy backs uranium deal, but will Tehran? By GEORGE JAHN, Associated Press Writer – Wed Oct 21, 5:31 pm ET

VIENNA – A top Iranian negotiator praised a plan Wednesday that would ship most of his country's uranium abroad for enrichment and limit its ability to build a nuclear weapon. There was no guarantee, however, that Tehran's leaders would accept the idea.

In seven years of back-and-forth diplomatic wrangling, Iran has appeared to accept previous proposals meant to ease fears it might be seeking weapons capability — only to later reject those same proposals. The West says that has given the country time to build its civilian nuclear program and its capacity to generate fissile warhead material.At the end of three days of talks, International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei said representatives of Iran and its three interlocutors — the U.S., Russia and France — had accepted his draft agreement for forwarding to their capitals.ElBaradei said he hoped for approval from all four countries by Friday, adding: I cross my fingers.Iran's refusal to curb its enrichment program has led to three sets of U.N. Security Council sanctions, and it was unclear whether the leaders of the Islamic Republic were ready to deal away their strategic leverage and compromise on their quest for nuclear independence.Iran insists it has a right to uranium enrichment to create fuel for a nuclear reactor network to generate power, and it dismisses suspicions that it could use the technology to make weapons-grade material for missile payloads.Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's chief delegate, praised the draft, saying it was on the right track, while emphasizing that senior Iranian officials in Tehran still had to sign off on it.We have to thoroughly study this text and also (need) further elaboration in capitals, Soltanieh said.In Washington, State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said the draft agreement was a very positive step.It was acceptable to our team out there, but we want to give it ... a chance to be seen by a broader range of people in the interagency here. But I expect we'll be able to approve it,he said.Kelly also praised ElBaradei. We welcome this effort and we very much support everything that he's doing,he said.

Neither Soltanieh nor Elbaradei gave details of what was in the package. But diplomats told The Associated Press that it was essentially the original proposal drawn up by the IAEA that would commit Tehran to shipping 75 percent of its enriched uranium stockpile to Russia for further enrichment within the next two months. The diplomats spoke on condition of anonymity because the meetings were confidential.
Sending such a large amount of enriched uranium outside Iran would temporarily get rid of most of the material it needs to make a bomb.After that material is turned into metal fuel rods, it would then be shipped back to Iran to power its small research reactor in Tehran, according to the draft.Beyond postponing Iran's ability to turn the material into the fissile core of atomic warheads, agreement by Tehran would contribute to building trust between the West and Tehran over the country's nuclear ambitions and help pave the way for a new round of talks on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program.After the first meeting between Iran and six world powers in more than a year earlier this month, the U.S. and its Western allies said Iran had agreed in principle to ship out most of its enriched stockpile.Iranian officials subsequently denied that — and a statement on Iran's official IRNA news agency just hours after Wednesday's closing session in Vienna suggested the leadership was far from rubber-stamping the latest proposal.Reports that the Iranian delegation had expressed support for the draft are aimed at imposing psychological pressure on Iran,said the IRNA commentary.But Iran won't heed such pressure and will only decide on the basis of its national interests.Soltanieh suggested that Iran, which held at least one one-on-one meeting with the U.S. delegation during the three-day talks, had wrested concessions from Washington in exchange for any agreement.One of the aspects in addition to the fuel is the control instrumentation and safety equipment of the reactor,he said.We have been informed about the readiness of the United States in a technical project with the IAEA to cooperate in this respect.

Soltanieh did not indicate if the equipment he was describing fell under a U.N. embargo on shipping sensitive nuclear-related material to Iran, which is under Security Council sanctions for refusing to freeze enrichment.A U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment, said any such help would be indirect because it would be channeled through the IAEA and would come only after Tehran fulfilled its end of the bargain.U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton urged prompt action on the part of Iran, warning that the U.S. commitment to engaging the Islamic Republic diplomatically cannot be open-ended.
We are not prepared to talk just for the sake of talking,she said in a speech to the U.S. Institute for Peace in Washington.French Foreign Ministry official Jacques Audibert told France 24 TV that acceptance by Iran would calm down the atmosphere and appease tensions over Tehran's nuclear agenda.A senior diplomat from one of the countries at the Geneva talks told the AP that Tehran's decision not to send a senior official from Iran to the talks had already dampened hopes that the Iranian delegation would be able to make a binding decision on the proposal.Iran originally had said that Ali Salehi, an Iranian vice president and head of the national nuclear agency, would lead its delegation. Instead it was Soltanieh, the chief delegate to the IAEA.An official from one of the six big powers — the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany — said that while the West was hoping that Iran would accept, it was unlikely the Tehran leadership was ready to take the strategic decision of giving away most of their enrichment stockpile.They lose their leverage in terms of being able to create a nuclear weapon at least temporarily, he said, also speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment.

While essentially technical, any deal would have significant ramifications.It would commit Iran to turn over more than 2,600 pounds (1,200 kilograms) of low-enriched uranium. That would significantly ease fears about Iran's nuclear program, since 2,205 pounds (1,000 kilograms) is the commonly accepted amount of low-enriched uranium needed to produce weapons-grade uranium.French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner appeared to outline the contours of the deal, insisting his country would not compromise on demanding that Tehran ship out 2,600 pounds of its enriched material, adding: On that we won't back down.Based on the present Iranian stockpile, the U.S. has estimated that Tehran could produce a nuclear weapon between 2010 and 2015, an assessment that broadly matches those from Israel and other nations. David Albright of the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security, which has tracked Iran for signs of covert proliferation, said any deal would buy only a limited amount of time. He said Tehran could replace 2,600 pounds of low-enriched uranium in little over a year.Associated Press writers Jenny Barchfield in Paris, Matthew Lee in Washington and Jason Keyser in Cairo contributed to this report.

EU decision on Uzbekistan appalls human rights groups
ANDREW RETTMAN Today OCT 22,09 @ 08:26 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - EU member states have opted to drop an arms embargo against Uzbekistan in a move seen as dishonest and depressing by human rights campaigners.
EU diplomats meeting in Brussels on Tuesday (20 October) adopted the decision which is to be rubber-stamped without discussion by foreign ministers in Luxembourg on Monday.With a view to encouraging the Uzbek authorities to take further substantive steps to improve the rule of law and human rights situation on the ground and taking into consideration their commitments, the Council decides not to renew the remaining restrictive measures set out in the Council Common Position [of 2008], the ministers' draft statement says.The statement is to welcome certain positive steps taken over the past year by way of justification, listing among other points Uzbekistan's participation in EU dialogues on human rights and rule of law, releases of selected human rights defenders, introduction of habeas corpus and ratification of anti-child labour conventions.Under EU procedure, the arms embargo was due to expire in November unless renewed by a consensus of all 27 states. But Germany signaled early on in discussions that it would not agree to a renewal, saying the sanctions have done their job over the past four years by motivating Uzbekistan to open talks on reform.The arms embargo was imposed in 2005 in response to a massacre which saw jeep-mounted Uzbek soldiers fire high-calibre machine guns into a crowd of civilians in the market town of Andijan, killing at least 187 people.Uzbekistan has rejected EU demands to hold an independent enquiry into the events and Uzbek-EU human rights talks have been described as hollow and perfunctory by EU diplomats who took part.

Human rights campaigners say repression has worsened over the past year. Twelve high-profile political prisoners remain behind bars. There has been at least one death in custody and numerous reports of torture. Children are still forced to pick cotton which is bought by European firms.These isolated 'positive steps' can be little more than public relations designed to alleviate a sanctions regime which has irked the Uzbek government more than it would like to admit,Jacqueline Hale from the Open Society Institute said.That they [EU countries] aren't even willing to give an honest assessment of the human rights situation is scandalous,Human Rights Watch's Veronika Szente Goldston added.I feel depressed.Germany is bearing the brunt of criticism for putting national interest ahead of EU values.With one of the largest embassies in Tashkent, an air base in Termez in the south of the country which supplies German troops in Afghanistan and around 50 German companies active in the country, Germany has taken the lead in framing EU policy on Uzbekistan in recent years.The vice-president of think-tank the International Crisis Group, Alain Deletroz, highlighted the ironies of Berlin's approach in a comment for German magazine Die Zeit on 20 October.Although the Germans operate a so-called peace mission in Afghanistan, they supply their troops from a country where people can be arrested, tortured and killed for their political convictions. While the Germans build schools and invest in education in Afghanistan, on the Uzbek side over 2 million school children from the age of nine upwards are forced to work on cotton plantations every autumn,he said.

Eurostat experience highlights doubts over Greek data
ANDREW WILLIS Today OCT 22,09 @ 17:37 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – New figures released by the EU's statistics office – Eurostat – on Thursday (22 October), provide fresh information on EU government debt levels for 2008, but also point towards Greek political manipulation of the country's economic data. According to the new figures, average EU27 budget levels for 2008 were –2.3 percent of GDP, a rise from –0.8 percent in 2007.But the figures come with the following caveat: Eurostat has expressed a reservation on the data reported by Greece due to significant uncertainties over the figures notified by the Greek statistical authorities.Eurostat officials in Brussels on Thursday (21 October) explained how, just a day earlier, they had received a new notification from the Greek authorities consisting of several pages of tables of revised data.With insufficient time to fully examine the new figures, Eurostat officials were forced to include the caveat.

Manipulation?

Based on data supplied by the Greek statistics office, Eurostat in April put the Greek budget deficit for 2008 at 5 percent of GDP. Now, based on the fresh data, they put it at 7.7 percent, a jump that exceeds any other member state.The new figures also makes Greece the holder of the largest annual deficit relative to GDP for 2008.Observers says the revision is a clear attempt by the new Greek Socialist government, ushered in after a snap election on 4 October, to offload some of this year's anticipated national debt into last year's figures associated with the former centre-right administration.The problem is that Brussels has seen the Greek figure-fiddling game all before and is thoroughly fed up with it. A change of Greek government in 2004, that time from the Socialist PASOK party to the centre-right New Democracy party, brought about a similar scenario.At a meeting of EU finance ministers earlier this week, several senior financial figures expressed their frustration at the returning story of Greek data manipulation, a phenomenon more associated with South America than the European Union.We want to know what has happened and why it has happened,said the EU's economy commissioner Joaquin Almunia in reaction to revised deficit figures provided by the Greek central bank, this time for 2009.Member states have an obligation to provide accurate data to Eurostat twice a year, with exasperated agency officials explaining that it is not their job to check every local government account book in the different member states.

Funding shortage

Another problem for the newly elected Greek government is how to appease both the financial markets and the country's citizens.With Greek coffers running low, the government is expected to turn to the market before the end of the year with a new bond issuance of several billion euros.But investors will demand a high premium if the government is not seen to introduce deficit cutting measures, with spreads between Greek and German bonds hitting record highs this year before receding again.

Already this month, two ratings agencies have warned the new government that it must cut public spending and push through long-delayed structural reforms if it is to avoid a downgrade. Spending cuts and tax increases however are unlikely to be popular with Greek citizens as their country enters recession while other countries appear to be returning to growth.The election campaign saw the socialists promise a new €3 billion stimulus package, to be funded by money clawed back from tax evasion. But money saved from tax evasion is unlikely to be enough.

EU and US fail to break Bosnia deadlock
VALENTINA POP Today OCT 22,09 @ 09:16 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – A joint EU-US mediation effort aimed at ending years of political deadlock in Bosnia-Herzegovina ended on Wednesday (21 October) with no agreement on giving the central government a stronger role over the semi-independent Serbian and Muslim-Croat entities.The talks were spearheaded by Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt, who used to be the first international high representative in Bosnia after the 1992-1995 war and is now chairing the EU presidency.Together with the US deputy secretary of state Jim Steinberg and EU enlargement commissioner Olli Rehn, Mr Bildt tried to convince Bosnian leaders to approve a constitutional reform making the state more functional and preparing it for eventual EU and Nato membership.But representatives of the three main ethnic groups – Serbs, Bosniaks and Croats - rejected the proposals.Although some limited progress has been made further discussions will be required... and some of the parties will need to demonstrate greater determination and flexibility,Mr Bildt and Mr Steinberg said in a joint statement after the inconclusive talks.Experts from both the EU and US will return to Bosnia next week to continue negotiations. When announcing the initiative at the beginning of this month, the EU and US expressed serious concern" about the political gridlock and warned that Bosnia risked falling behind the rest of the region.One of the sticking points is the office of the international high representative who still has executive powers in the country. Both the EU and the US would like to see the Bosnian leaders take over more responsibility and use less nationalistic rhetoric in order for the office to be transformed in a normal diplomatic office of the EU, preparing and monitoring the country for membership.

But fourteen years after the end of a war which caused over 100,000 deaths and became infamous for the Srebrenica massacre, Bosnia seems to be still a long way from self-governance.For Milorad Dodik, the Prime Minister of the Serb entity - Republika Srpska, the office's executive powers are non-transparent and in violation of human rights, as he writes in a recent letter sent to Mr Bildt. The office of the high representative can remove from power any officials, elected or appointed, without any hearings or right for appeal, and did so with over 200 persons since 1997, as Mr Dodik complains.Despite wanting to see the office's powers downgraded, Mr Dodik strongly rejected the legislative package put forward by the EU-US mediators, saying it risked diluting the power of Republika Srpska. In the past years, he had repeatedly called for a referendum on separating from the Bosnian federation.As for the Bosniaks and Croats, they rejected the proposals for not going far enough in strengthening the state institutions.Under the 1995 Dayton peace accords, two separate entities were created - the Bosnian-Croat federation and Republika Srpska - linked by a common parliament, a three-member presidency and a council of ministers. However, the division of powers remains unclear, especially with the office of the international representative in place, and each side interprets it the way it suits best its own interests.

Europe's online shoppers stumble on national hurdles
VALENTINA POP Today OCT 22,09 @ 17:35 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Some 60 percent of online orders are rejected when they are placed in another EU country than the one where the retailer is located. Shoppers from Romania, Bulgaria, Latvia and Belgium face particularly high rejection rates, data released by the European Commission shows.Better deals and greater product choice for consumers on our vast European market could be just a click of a mouse away. But in reality online shoppers are still largely confined within national borders,EU commissioner for consumer rights Meglena Kuneva said Thursday (22 October).The EU executive commissioned a study based on 11,000 test orders across the EU from a list of 100 popular items such as cameras, CDs, books and clothes. The results revealed that, on average, 61 percent of EU cross-border transactions failed, either because the retailer had no shipping possibility to that particular country or because payments were not accepted from that member state.Online shoppers from Romania have the most difficulties in placing their order abroad, with a 76 percent rejection rate, followed by Bulgarians (75 percent), Latvians and Belgians (both 70 percent). Malta, Ireland, Poland, Cyprus, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Greece and Hungary were also above the EU average in their rejection rate.Only online shoppers from Spain and Austria had less than half of their orders rejected.

Meanwhile, in most member states, at least half of the products were 10 percent cheaper if ordered from another country, shipping costs included. Also, some 50 percent of the products searched could not be found on the national websites and were only offered by online retailers from other countries.Language does not seem to be a barrier, with 60 percent of European retailers saying they are ready to carry out a transaction in another language and a third of EU consumers willing to buy from a website in another language.But issues of trust in respect to the security and reliability of banking services, consumer rights, and proper redress mechanisms hold back traders from selling their goods in other EU states.With 27 national regulations and fragmented EU rules on consumer rights, there was also an urgent need to simplify the legal maze preventing online retailers from cross-border trading, Ms Kuneva said.The outgoing commissioner urged the European Parliament and EU leaders to adopt as soon as possible a so-called Consumer Rights Directive aimed at simplifying and unifying EU rules in this field, including for online consumers.

Ms Kuneva also made reference to the political guidelines put forward by the commission's president, Jose Manuel Barroso, for his second term, where he promised to work for an active consumer policy.But we don't want consumers to trust the market and venture outside their borders only to be rebuffed by traders who find it to difficult or burdensome to serve them, she pointed out.Her calls were echoed by information society and media commissioner Viviane Reding - likely to stay on as commissioner - who said that achieving a digital single market is a top priority for Europe.We won't have a real Digital Economy until we remove all barriers to online transactions, also for end-consumers. This must be on top of the list of all policy initiatives to re-launch the single market project,Ms Reding said in a statement.

DigitalEurope, a lobby group for over 100 national associations and online companies in Europe welcomed the report and said that the current system of reporting, paying and refunding levies is an impediment to cross-border e-commerce.With the national-based levy system in place today, cross-border traders may end up paying and reporting copyright levies in several countries for the same goods, Bridget Cosgrave, director general of DigitalEurope said in a statement.The European e-commerce market was estimated to be worth €106 billion in 2006 and is the fastest growing retail channel. In 2008, 51 percent of EU retailers sold online.

Brussels blames member states for red tape delays-Businesses complain they are often overwhelmed by form-filling and accounting procedures (Photo: Flickr.com)
HONOR MAHONY Today OCT 22,09 @ 17:30 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The European Commission on Thursday (22 October) put the blame squarely on member states and MEPs for the slow pace in reducing the administrative costs faced by companies trying to follow EU rules.Compliance with EU laws often means regular provision of statistics, lengthy book-keeping procedures and reams of forms that need to be filled out - long a source of frustration to companies operating in the 27 nation Union.In 2007, the European Commission announced it would reduce running costs for businesses by 25 percent by 2012. The move was seen as representing an internal ideological shift for the commission, which had not previously questioned the need for laws or really looked at their shape and effectiveness.With just over two years to achieve its goal, the pace has been slow however. One set of measures has been adopted that will reduce the burden to businesses by €7.6 billion annually.But a second set of measures - accounting for a €30.7 billion yearly cost reduction - is stuck in the legislative pipelines, while the commission has yet to propose a third set which would reduce costs by €2.1 billion a year.The Commission has done everything in its power to achieve the 25 percent target by 2012. I invite the European Parliament and Member States to adopt all of our remaining proposals to make them fully effective for the European economy as soon as possible,said industry commissioner Guenter Verheugen.It does not cost anything but would mean a boost of around €30.7 billion for our enterprises, and especially for small- and medium-sized enterprises,he added.If all measures go through, it would mean a saving of around 33 percent - eight points higher than the commission's target. The measures apply to 72 EU texts thought to account for 80 percent of EU-level costs for businesses.

The commissioner said he shared scepticism about the tendency to rabid legislation something compounded, he noted, by member states adding to the laws when it came to implementation, a practice known as gold-plating.Gold-plating alone is thought to account for 32 percent of the administrative burden arising from EU laws.Business groups also criticised member states for moving too slowly but said the commission needed to do more.More must be done for businesses to see real effects in their day-to-day operations. There are policy areas where not many reductions have been achieved, such as health and safety and the environment,said BusinessEurope.

EU prize highlights Russia murders of rights workers

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Moscow-based NGO Memorial has walked away with the EU's 2009 Sakharov prize for freedom of thought after a bloody year for human rights activists in Russia.We hope to contribute to ending the circle of fear and violence surrounding human rights defenders in the Russian Federation,European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek said while announcing the decision on Thursday (22 October).

The Pole and former anti-Communist campaigner added that he felt personal satisfaction over the award as a man who comes from Solidarity and who saw Poland fighting for truth and freedom, which it finally won in the 1980s.Three Memorial staff, Oleg Orlov, Sergei Kovalev and Lyudmila Alexeyeva, will be invited to collect the prize, which comes with a €50,000 cheque, at the EU parliament on 16 December.

Placards and posters highlighting the NGO will also be hung around EU buildings in Brussels over the coming year to remind officials of the significance of its work.
Memorial was founded in the 1980s by the eponymous Andrei Sakharov in order to document Stalinist-era crimes in Russia. But it has since grown into a broader movement of human rights defenders across Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Tajikistan, Moldova and Ukraine.One of the NGO's board members, Natalya Estemirova, who worked in Chechnya, was on the morning of 15 July dragged screaming into a car and later found dead with bullet wounds to the chest and head in nearby woodland.Her murder caused international outrage on a par with the slaying of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya in 2006. But it was just one of several this year.In January, human rights lawyer Stanislav Markelov was shot dead in broad daylight on a Moscow street a few hundred metres from the Kremlin. In August, children's charity workers Alik Dzhabrailov and his wife Zarema Sadulayeva were abducted and killed in the Chechen capital Grozny. None of the perpetrators have been brought to justice.

The 2009 shortlist was not without other heroic figures.

Runner-up Izzeldin Abuelaish is a Palestinian doctor and peace campaigner who lost three daughters when an Israeli shell hit his appartment in Gaza in January. The second runner-up, Dawit Isaak, is an Eritrean-origin Swedish reporter who has been in jail without trial in Eritrea since 2001.
