Chag Kasher VeSameach-Have a Kosher, Happy Pesach!
by INN Staff MAR 29,2010

(IsraelNN.com) After weeks of preparations and making sure no leavened products, not even a crumb, are left in the home, Jewish families did bedikat chametz (search for leavened products) on Sunday night and biur chametz (burning of such products) this morning, repeating the prayer that affirms that anything that was missed is considered dust of the earth. For the symbolism of chametz, click here.

The Passover holiday begins this evening with candlelighting, synagogue service and the traditional Seder, during which families get together to read the story of the Exodus from Egypt. The Haggadah, the book from which the story is read, contains songs that have been sung for generation upon generation, such as Dayenu (It would have sufficed us) , Chad Gadya (One kid, one kid) and Echad Mi Yodea (Who knows one? One is our G-d in heaven and on earth). The Haggadah This year, we hope, will be the last year we ask you to print out this placecard and set it at an empty place at your Seder.gives a list of activities that make up the Seder ceremony, from saying the Kiddush prayer over wine, of which four cups are drunk, to eating the Afikoman (hidden piece of matzah) at the end of the festive meal. For ideas on the Haggadah, click here.The Seder Plate contains different symbols which are discussed at the table, including bitter herbs, a shankbone, a roasted egg, charoset (mixture resembling mortar), green vegetable, all of which have special meanings. The youngest child begins the Seder by asking Four Questions about the strange sights he sees: the Matzah, bitter herbs, dipping food, leaning on cushions. Later, the Haggadah tell of four types of sons who must be told about the Exodus. The Torah commands us answer, and to tell our children the story of the Exodus as if it had just occurred.This year, we hope, will be the last year we ask you to print out this placecard and set it at an empty place at your Seder table in honor of all of our Captives and MIAs.

IDF Prepares for Passover by Maayana Miskin MAR 28,10

(IsraelNN.com) The IDF is finishing this year's preparations for Passover with stronger border security, classes in Torah, and more than 71 tons of matzah. The goal of the preparations – to give IDF soldiers an enjoyable and spiritual Passover experience, while protecting Israel during the holiday.The IDF goes on high alert on Jewish holidays, as terrorist groups often time their attacks to coincide with holidays in order to hit larger crowds of people and do maximum damage to Israeli morale. This year, extra troops will be stationed between Palestinian Authority-controlled cities in Judea and Samaria and Israeli population centers, as well as along Israel's borders, around Gaza, and even in the skies and at sea.The military rabbinate is doing its best to provide a Passover seder to all soldiers on active duty during the holiday. Seders will be held in major IDF bases, in small outposts, and even on submarines. Soldiers doing guard duty in the field will be given individual trays of food, allowing them to conduct their own seder.

Lone soldiers' seder
Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi will meet with hundreds of lone soldiers, young soldiers whose parents do not live in Israel, at a special seder hosted in their honor. This will be the ninth consecutive year that the IDF and the Agudah L'maan HaChayal (Association for the Wellbeing of Israel's Soldiers) sponsor a seder for lone soldiers.Lone soldiers and soldiers from families suffering financial hardship will each be given a 200 shekel gift certificate.

71 tons of matzah
In order to host the hundreds of seders it has planned, the IDF has purchased 71 tons of matzah, seven tons of fish, three tons of chicken, 60,000 kosher for Passover chicken shnitzels, 4.5 tons of Passover cookies, 8 tons of matzah meal, and 13,000 bottles of grape juice.Since soldiers aren't in the army during Passover by choice, it's our obligation to give them a memorable experience, Major Rabbi Eliezer Emmanuel of the Gaza division explained to Arutz Sheva. The Rabbinate's efforts to make the holiday an enjoyable one pay off, he said, Each year I'm touched to see soldiers staying at the table to continue singing after the seder ends.

Passover Closure to Lift for Easter
by Maayana Miskin MAR 29,10

(IsraelNN.com) The IDF will impose a closure on Judea, Samaria, and Gaza during the Passover holiday, meaning that Palestinian Authority Arabs will not be allowed to enter Israel during that time. The closure began on Sunday at midnight, and will continue until April 4 at midnight. Only Arab men over 50 will be allowed on the Temple Mount, which will be closed to Jews for security reasons despite the plans to ascend there before the Passover holiday begins.Doctors, lawyers, humanitarian workers, and religious officials and teachers working in Jerusalem will be allowed to travel to and from Israel and Jerusalem despite the closure.In addition, the IDF will lift the closure for Christians, allowing them to celebrate the upcoming holiday of Easter. The roughly 10,000 Christians living in Judea and Samaria and 500 in Gaza will be given permits allowing them to travel freely throughout Judea, Samaria and Israel for several days in order to visit family and take part in religious ceremonies.

The IDF regularly prohibits access to Israel for most PA Arabs during Jewish holidays. The closure is intended to reduce the risk of terrorist attacks. Terrorists have often timed their attacks to coincide with Jewish holidays, in order to maximize the number of casualties and the blow to Israeli morale.One of the biggest mass-casualty terrorist attacks in recent years, the Park Hotel massacre, took place during the Passover seder in 2002. Thirty people were murdered by a PA Arab suicide bomber, and 140 more were wounded. Sunday's announcement of the routine closure made front-page news on the American news site CNN, and was initially placed more prominently than the double suicide bombing in Moscow, with the closure being a full article on the main page and the bombing a one line link.

Merkel says EU-Turkey talks are open-ended
HONOR MAHONY Today MAR 30,10 @ 09:26 CET

Chancellor Angela Merkel made a symbolic concession on language concerning Turkey's EU membership prospects during a visit to Ankara on Monday (29 March) but tensions remain between the German leader and her Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Speaking to the press following their talks, Ms Merkel said she now understood that the term privileged partnership does not have a good connotation in Turkey.Both Berlin and Paris have peddled the term as an alternative to Turkey's full membership of the EU, something which they vigorously oppose.Turkey rejects the idea saying it opened accession negotiations in late 2005 on the understanding that it would one day join the Union.But Ms Merkel did not soften her general message that Turkey's EU prospects are not guaranteed. The (accession) negotiations are an open-ended process. We should now pursue this open-ended process, she said, according to AFP.

She also urged Turkey to fulfill a customs agreement with the EU by opening its airports and harbours to traffic from Cyprus, an EU member state Ankara does not recognise.The most important issue is the implementation of the protocol ... We have to deal with the Cyprus issue. That would be to the benefit of us all, she said.
Turkey's refusal to implement the customs agreement with Cyprus has resulted in eight of the 35 negotiating chapters that have to be negotiated for EU membership to be frozen. So far, Turkey has open 12 chapters since 2005 and only closed one. By contrast, Croatia, which started the process at the same time, hopes to become a member of the EU next year.On another contentious issue, concerning the alleged question of integration of Germany's large Turkish community into German society, the two leaders struck a more conciliatory tone.Ahead of the meeting Ms Merkel had rejected Mr Erdogan's calls for Turkish language secondary schools. But in Ankara she indicated that such schools could indeed be opened, although she noted that this should not be an excuse not to learn German.If Germany has German schools in other countries, for example in Turkey, ... then of course Turkey could also have schools in Germany,she said, according to Stern magazine.With Germany host to around 3 million Turkish nationals, a large number of whom still live in closed communities, integration and what it means to be part of German society have become hot political issues.Meanwhile, relations between the two sides is also grounded in the fact that they have strong economic ties. Turkey is one of Germany's most important export markets.

Europe's first ever execution-free year undone by Belarus
LEIGH PHILLIPS Today MAR 30,10 @ 17:09 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - For the first time ever, no one was executed anywhere on the continent of Europe last year, according to Amnesty International's annual executions report, a human rights record that was undone just a few days ago when Belarus executed two individuals some time around 18 March.While the European Union outlaws capital punishment from Lapland to Lisbon and campaigns for its universal abolition, and a total of 48 out of 50 European states have abolished the practice, Belarus is the last European country to retain the death penalty.Latvia, as an EU member, has also abolished capital punishment but retains the theoretical possibility of imposing the ultimate sanction in times of war. Portugal was the first European country to abolish capital punishment, in 1867.In a letter to EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, early Tuesday (30 March) the human rights watchdog called on her to condemn the Belarussian executions, in which two men were shot, and to step up the campaign for an international moratorium on the death penalty.The death penalty has not been mentioned on a regular basis in high-level [EU] political statements and the deafening silence after the executions in Belarus has made the issue of the death penalty look even less like a priority, said Nicolas Beger, the director of Amnesty International's EU office. The group said that hoped Ms Ashton would make abolition of the death penalty one of top priorities of the External Action Service, the EU's new diplomatic corps.

By the afternoon, the high representative's office had put out a policy statement on Belarus, expressing grave concern at the harassment of journalists, NGOs and opposition groups. The statement also said the EU deplores the execution of the two men.However, Amnesty's David Nicholls, the group's officer dealing with EU foreign policy, told EUobserver that the wording was buried amid a very broad statement in the third paragraph, on the second page.We are very worried about the way the EU at the moment is dealing with cases like this, when Brussels used to be much stronger. The statement didn't even mention the two men by name.It's clear there is an institutional confusion at the moment and in many cases leading to inaction at both the EU level and in [foreign] delegations, he continued. Of course there will be a transition period between the old, rotating EU presidency and the new high representative position and External Action Service, just so long as this transition period doesn't last two years, as some people have been talking about.Maja Kocijancic, spokeswoman for Ms Ashton, said: This is the first I've heard of such worries. The system is still in place. There are of course some changes, but we aim for them to be as smooth as possible, and in this case, the delegation on the ground was particularly active.The two men who were executed were the last two individuals on death row in the country and were sentenced last year for a pair of murders, committed separately.Their families were not informed of the executions, and only found that their relatives had been killed when one mother went to deliver a food parcel and was informed of the executions.Their names were Andrei Zhuk and Vasily Yuzepchuk.

US supportive of Europe's measures on Greece
VALENTINA POP 29.03.2010 @ 16:26 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – The US is supportive of the EU's recent decisions regarding Greece and does not believe that other troubled euro countries will line up for the financial rescue mechanism now in place, an American official told this website.The US clearly has a very strong interest in the success of the European Union and we were very supportive in the efforts by the EU to work out an agreement with Greece, Robert Hormats, undersecretary of state for economic affairs said in an interview with the EUobserver.EU leaders last week agreed to set up a financial rescue mechanism together with the International Monetary Fund which would help out Athens if necessary, while strongly watching over the Greeks' spending cuts and economic reforms.Washington is very impressed with the reform pledges made by the Greek government, the US official said, while admitting that obviously reforms are unpopular in some quarters. Athens has already seen a series of strikes and protests turning violent amid rising popular discontent over the governments' economic policies.

As other southern eurozone-countries, notably Portugal, are also facing troubles in capping their deficit and raising loans on the international markets, some commentators have argued that the bail-out mechanism lead to moral hazard, with other capitals taking advantage of the mechanism.But Mr Hormats said this theory has been overblown and that it was rather more likely that the Greek experience works as an inspiration to other countries to take tough measures before getting into difficulties.The agreed strengthened co-ordination of economic policies in the eurozone was also appreciated in Washington, Mr Hormats said.He added that with the health care reform cleared out of the way, the US Congress would have now time to focus on financial reform, a process which needs to be co-ordinated on both sides of the Atlantic.Mr Hormats admitted there are differences between Washington and European capitals, but insisted there was a good dialogue between the US treasury department and its counterparts in the EU.Earlier this month, US treasury secretary Timothy Geithner sent a letter to the EU financial services commissioner, Michel Barnier, complaining that the bloc's draft hedge fund rules would disadvantage American firms.

Firefighting in Greece

During the weekend, EU economy commissioner Olli Rehn said it was essential that the right lessons are drawn from the Greek crisis. Certainly we need to strengthen economic governance in Europe, implying stronger economic policy coordination and surveillance of budgetary policies especially of the euro-area countries, he said at the Brussels Forum, a conference organised by the German Marshall Fund of the US, a Washington-based think tank.The Finnish politician known for his intransigence with Balkan countries on his previous assignment as enlargement commissioner also warned that the economic stimulus packages of the past two years wiped out 20 years of fiscal consolidation in EU.We need to do our utmost for a rigorous budgetary surveillance, including on draft national budgets and medium-term budgetary projections if we seriously want to avoid another crisis like we have faced with Greece,he said.

Reconciliation Act H.R.4872 Brings Microchipping to America
SkyWatch Canada Infowars.com March 30, 2010

Forget the national ID card, implantable microchips are coming to a clinic near you no later than 36 months after the bill is signed into law.

During the thorough coverage of H.R.3590 America thought it was free of a Healthcare System that allowed a national medical registry to be created and the population to be tagged with implantable RFID chips. But a second heath care related bill called The Reconciliation Act of 2010 (2300 pages) was recently passed by the Senate on March 25th after being passed by the House on March 21st. This bill has been cleared for the White House and awaits the signature of the Dictator and Chief. Buried in the text of the 2300 page monstrosity in section 2521, the creation of a National Medical Device Registry is enacted. This is portrayed as a registry to collect safety data on medical devices such as pacemakers and to put the safety data in a publicly accessible national electronic database.

But as usual the wording of this bill permits the creation of something entirely quite different. In 2004 the FDA approved the Verichip for use of storing medical records. This device was classified as a Class II medical device. This is most likely the Class II implantable device being referred to in this section of the bill. The bill allows the unique device identifier (Chip ID tag) to be linked to postmarket safety patient outcome data regarding the implantable device itself. In order to facilitate the analyses of postmarket safety and patient outcomes the health secretary will examine ways to gain access to Medicare health records, private sector health records and other data deemed necessary (including surveillance data) by the Health Secretary and then link it to the database and your RFID implant. Just to be accurate, section (3) defines data as claims data, patient survey data, standardized analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of data from disparate data environments, electronic health records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the secretary.So basically this bill creates a National Database of any type of data deemed appropriate by the executive branch of the US Federal Government. This could literally be anything. This could include anything you might have expected to find in an East German Stasi file. All of this data will then be linked to a Class II implantable device under your skin. There you have it, just like Lindsey Williams warned us. Forget the national ID card, implantable microchips are coming to a clinic near you no later than 36 months after the bill is signed into law.

Warning over pupil fingerprinting By Katherine Sellgren
BBC News education reporter, Manchester MAR 29,10

Teachers are worried about the gathering of biometric information
Many schools are fingerprinting pupils without parents' permission, teachers have warned.It is thought around 100 schools in the UK now use fingerprint identification systems for registration, borrowing library books and cashless catering. But there is no legal requirement for schools to seek parents' consent for using biometric technologies. Critics say this is outrageous and have called for a strong and explicit law to cover this issue. A spokesman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families says it was common sense for schools to consult parents about taking fingerprints.Schools also had to comply with data protection regulations, he said. But teachers have voiced concerns at a lack of adequate control over the taking of biometric information.

Explicit law

Speaking at the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) annual conference in Manchester, teacher Hank Roberts said fingerprinting should not be allowed in schools without full consultation with staff and written permission from parents. Mr Roberts, from Copland Specialist Science College in Brent, London, said:It's plain common sense for them to consult parents before introducing biometric systems. It's outrageous that children's fingerprints can be taken without their parents' or guardians' consent.Azra Haque from Hay Lane Special School in Brent said schools should have to involve pupils and parents in any decisions to use biometric technologies. We really do need a strong and explicit law in this regard,she said. Mr Hanks cited the Capital City Academy in Willesden, London, which faced anger from parents after it fingerprinted pupils without their permision.Let's remember, it's schools using it, not the police.Geoff PyeEssex school teacher.The school was subsequently forced to consult with parents and offer an opt-out for those who objected. Geoff Pye, a teacher from Essex, said fingerprint identification meant shorter queues at lunchtime and no problems with pupils losing swipe cards or having their dinner money stolen. It's a very useful tool - schools will use biometrics usefully. Let's remember, it's schools using it, not the police.The union rejected Mr Hank's and Ms Haque's motion to raise the use of biometric technologies with Children's Secretary Ed Balls as a matter of urgency and oppose the use of these technologies, without full consultation, with strike action if necessary.

But conference delegates agreed to set up a working party to formulate a policy on the matter. Alex Thomas, principal of Capital City Academy, said: Many parents, once they have seen the system in action, have supported the school in introducing the system. Previously students were using (payment) cards, which could be lost or stolen. The biometric system prevents that happening and is much quicker.

Not illegal

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which promotes public access to official information, said it was not illegal for schools to collect pupils' fingerprints without their parents' consent. The ICO said there was nothing in the Data Protection Act that required schools to seek consent from parents before implementing a fingerprinting programme. But it said schools should be aware of the sensitivity of the issue. It is important that the information is only used for purposes specified when it is collected,the ICO said in a statement. Schools should explain the reasons for introducing the system and how personal data is used and kept safe.And it would be heavy-handed of schools not to respect the wishes of those pupils and parents who objected to fingerprinting initiatives, the ICO added. A spokesman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families said: It is down to each school to judge best how to do their own day-to-day running. But we've made clear that it is plain common sense for heads to consult parents about potentially sensitive issues like this. If parents want to opt out, then the school should listen to them and consider alternate arrangements. Schools are well used to handling sensitive information like attendance registers, behaviour records and home addresses. They have to comply with data protection laws - meaning any personal data can only be used for its stated purpose; cannot be shared with third parties beyond it and it must be destroyed when a pupil leaves their school.

News & Analysis Obama Sets Sights on Merging Mexico and US?
Monday, March 29, 2010 - by Staff Report

Barack Obama After more than a year of campaigning, President Obama (left) finally won much-needed and long-overdue changes to our health care system. Achieving what four other presidents could not, Obama broke through the political impasse to obtain health care coverage for the vast majority of uninsured Americans. The president now needs to take this mandate and act quickly on what should be the next major item on his domestic agenda: modernizing our immigration system. Comprehensive immigration reform requires a balanced and measured approach that includes a broad legalization component, a foreign policy that promotes meaningful and equitable economic development in the region, and humane enforcement measures that strengthen, rather than divide, local communities. Any comprehensive immigration reform bill thus must hold as its centerpiece a fair and practicable legalization plan that recognizes and respects the diversity of our communities. The clearest option would be granting undocumented immigrants, including LGBT domestic partners, broad access to permanent resident status so they could work and travel freely. It is only when we remove the fear of deportation that we truly remove the burden of second-class citizenship. While the word amnesty is politically unpopular in some circles, its true meaning is reprieve or absolution. Amnesty does not mean a free ride, as people must still pay fines, wait their turn in line and comply with whatever new rules are developed. – SFGate.com

Dominant Social Theme: Painting the canvas of future greatness. The great uniters will unite all.

Free-Market Analysis: This article is the story of a canvas now being painted. It may even end up with a portrait of an international couple being married. But it is not a pretty picture by any means. Investors with holdings in the United States – dollars, bonds and stocks – will have to beware of what is coming. Some of the largest markets in the world could be further destabilized in the near or fairly-near future.The problems have to do with the Obama administration's focus on upcoming legislation. While financial reform is an interesting topic, US President Barack Obama and those behind his administration are aiming, in our estimation, at a bigger prize - immigration reform. They seem to want to introduce such legislation soon, and while it may not go anywhere after a divisive health care debate, we think that it will come back again and again, as it is important to a larger agenda. This article will concentrate on immigration reform and its eventual ramifications, financial and otherwise.To start, one has to grant continuity between this administration and the last (a Republican one) and grant also that each party is a continuation of the other. The players behind the scenes are a power elite that continually seeks further consolidation and concentration of wealth (in its hands) at the expense of the middle class and other influential factions of a participatory democracy.

If one does grant this, the picture steadily reveals itself, even if it is not finished. What one sees, however, if one looks hard, is a potential finished work that will be one of amazing trickery and false perceptions. Yet, it is not a new effort. In fact, it's been going on for decades, but the health care bill was doubtless a major advance. Here's a Fox News story that reveals more of the big picture:Immigration Reform Could KO Health Care ... While Congress voted to overhaul U.S. health care and provide universal coverage, 15 percent of America's uninsured population remains uncovered and unaddressed: illegal immigrants. Democrats are expected to introduce comprehensive immigration reform legislation this spring, and when they do, health care costs will once again be front and center. Under the new law just passed, illegal immigrants are not entitled to health care. That means undocumented workers will continue to get care the way they always have, showing up at county clinics and hospitals for emergency treatment. According to cost estimates submitted by various states, that costs taxpayers and ratepayers about $4.3 billion a year.However, according to the conservative-leaning Center for Immigration Studies, that number would spike from $10 billion to $30 billion annually under immigration reform. ... But cost isn't the only issue. Enrolling illegal immigrants into the new system will improve health outcomes. Dr. Steven Wallace of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research says including undocumented workers in the health care overhaul makes sense. In the long term, the point is to make sure all Americans who are living here and working here have access to health care, he says.It is simpler and therefore more efficient if you simply say, everybody who works gets health insurance. Everybody who has a low income, we will help you and we move forward. People don't come to the U.S. for health care, they come to work.Now, please follow us. It's not really hard to see completion. The general thrust of the new legislation is that all Americans must be insured under the new health care plan or pay a fine. There are various ways that Americans can gain health care, and various subsidies as well. Bottom line, with Americans paying more and more for health care, there will be increased pressure to rein in illegal aliens and to make sure that immigrants not in the US legally are not taking advantage of US health care.

And this is impossible.

And because enforcement is – and will be – impossible, the alternative will eventually make its way to the fore. Yes, you've figured it out. There will be pressure to make illegal immigrants legal via some sort of guest worker or citizenship program. Of course, one might think that such predictions are a leap of faith – and that perhaps the illegal immigration from Mexico may become less of an issue over time. But ... really? It's been going on for decades. And finally, it's destabilizing a whole country, and sending even more Mexicans across the border. Here's a letter that appeared in the Wall Street Journal on the subject recently:
Mary O'Grady's March 22 Americas column The War on Drugs Is Doomed is one of the best pieces ever written on the connection between U.S. drug policy and drug violence in Mexico. I just hope it can inform public policy discussions. I am on the City Council of El Paso, Texas, across the border from Ciudad Juarez, where more than 5,000 people have been killed since President Calderón was elected. We are living the drug war, and it has been disastrous for our community. In addition to bearing witness to the horrific killings of men, women and children in our sister city, it has become very clear to us that the failure of Juarez portends the failure of El Paso.Juarenses spend more than $1.4 billion in our economy every year; more than $51 billion in U.S./Mexico trade passes through El Paso/Juarez ports of entry annually (almost 20% of trade between the two countries); Juarez economic activity is responsible for 60,000 jobs in El Paso; and, as you might imagine, family, business and other relationships extend over the border and are the basis of much of the economic and cultural success that we enjoy.

It is clearly in our interest to find a solution to this drug violence, and it is clear that central to that solution is acknowledging the role of drug consumption and drug prohibition in the U.S. Ms. O'Grady has done an outstanding job through her columns in educating the public on the connection between drug consumption, drug prohibition and drug violence. Communities like ours are dependent on a better understanding and eventual action by our national elected leaders.The article by Mary O'Grady merely pointed out that the huge demand for drugs in the United States, combined with the perpetual war on supply was providing a logical outcome – higher prices and involvement by the most violent types in society since criminal activity of this sort attracts and begets violence.In fact, we can see how the composition unfolds – Mexicans are being harried out of their country by American drug policies. And now a health care plan has been put into effect that will inevitably add to the attractiveness of America for Mexicans who want to work in a more prosperous and less violent environment.The pressure to extend health care privileges to Mexicans and others in America illegally will grow inexorably. And it will be used as a lever to pry apart the opposition to a de-facto merger between the two countries. Again, this is no surprise. The Bush administration gave this sort of effort a push toward the end of the George Bush's last term. The administration wanted a kind of amnesty and other legal affirmations that would essentially have provided guest worker status to Mexicans - and begun the process as well (in earnest) of harmonizing American and Mexican laws.

One may choose to disbelieve all this of course. Perhaps it is impossible that Mexicans would EVER consent to such a union – so deep does the antipathy run. (Nonetheless, Bush worked on some secret and surprising treaties in his day – reported after the fact - that included both Canada and Mexico.) But, heck, it is a far-out idea, and perhaps there is no elite plan to merge Mexico, Canada and the United States, only paranoia and delusions.And yet ... in addition to extant treaties drawing the three countries ever close, such a plan has been documented on the Internet in the 2000s by numerous alternative blog sites and news organizations. The idea, according to these reports, is to divide the world into currency blocs to make currencies more easily manipulated and central banks even more powerful. The EU is already one such bloc and Canada, Mexico and the United States are supposedly to be the foundation of another.When one looks at the legislation that the Obama administration has in mind, it is obvious that a tighter bond is being created between Mexicans and Americans. The wedding has not been formally announced (and perhaps won't be for decades) but the union is becoming more realistic.The health care bill itself, if read closely, seems to give the federal government fairly substantial additional powers, including massive IRS oversight. But more than that, the bill will probably drive many more Americans, and American businesses, into bankruptcy, further exacerbating America's financial dilemmas. Over time, then, the immigration reform would be proposed as a panacea and a closer union with Mexico (and then eventually Canada might also be proposed) as a means for America to detach itself from looming financial calamity and endless and increased misery.

Conclusion: The Daily Bell is devoted to the analysis of dominant social themes from a free-market thinking perspective. Health care itself will only be one lever. Economic dislocation, bankruptcy – personal and corporate – and other unpleasantness emerging from the health care reform package should prove useful as well. Eventually, health care would be part of an argument for further official interactions with Mexico, and perhaps Canada. This seems to be a potential scenario based on power elite ambitions as we understand them. If this scenario, presented above by the San Francisco Gate, is seen to have merit, then the ramifications from a sociopolitical and economic/investment perspective are dramatic and significant.

China Rushes To Bomb Its Clouds As Rice Prices Spike 10% In A Month
Vincent Fernando, CFA Business Insider March 29, 2010

Severe drought in Southwestern China is driving up food prices and heightening concerns about the availability of drinking water.China Daily:Huang Weijuan, a Guangzhou housewife, said she spent 55 yuan ($8) to buy a bag of rice in Taojin agricultural bazaar in the city’s Yuexiu district over the weekend.But the price for the same bag of rice, which weighs 20 kg, was about 50 yuan a month ago,Huang said.

And the price of courgette, a vegetable which mainly grows in Yunnan province, is now selling at 5 yuan per kg in the bazaar, up 0.5 yuan from last month, Huang said.
The price of many foods and vegetables have gone up in the past month and I worry that prices will keep increasing,she said.The government is rushing to help in order to alleviate the potential for social tension. In some of the hardest hit provinces, the government has been forced to provide emergency supplies of drinking water to 18 million people. They’ve also resorted to creating artificial rain through cloud-seeding. Over 3,200 artillery pieces bombarded the sky with chemicals across 77 counties, forcing moderate rain to fall.It was the first rain I have seen since last October, but it only lasted for about three hours from 3 am to 6 am this morning, Bu Lupiao, a farmer of Bapiao village in Jinghong county, Xishuangbanna Dai autonomous prefecture.Since October… That’s one heck of a drought. Yet the farmer above was lucky. In Chuxiong Yi prefecture, over 100 cloud seeding guns failed to create rain. Cloud seeding isn’t a long-term solution, thus the natural rain better come soon else there could be more pressure on living standards in drought-hit regions.

New Homeland Security Report claims Right-wing Extremism is on the rise
Repubx March 29, 2010

Several months ago, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a simliar report targeting conservatives and ideals as Right-wing Extremism. After intense public scrutiny and a strong back-lash from Congressional conservatives, the report was retracted.Now, with all the Tea-Party demonization efforts and hub-bub, DHS comes out with a rather timely report to further paint the Tea-Party movement into some radical and/or racist organization that is more or less violent. Logic would tell you this isn’t the case, as we’ve seen, the Tea-Party movement is a mix of all races and political backgrounds including Dems, Repubs, Libertarians, Independents etc. etc.. The groups have protested peacefully since its’ creation over a year ago. Other attempts to counter this group have also been tried (as with the Coffee Party).

The new report is 10 pages, and as you may have suspected, it starts with the White Supremacist and anti-government rhetoric claiming they have plans to carry out violent acts because of the current economic conditions causing foreclosures, unemployment etc. Like the old lost teenager synopsis for joining gangs, the DHS report mimics this saying the conditions are ripe for recruitment.

On page 1, we get a summary of what these groups are about and that right-wing extremists are capitalizing on the first African-American President as a means for recruitment (though Obama is only 50% Black – go figure)…
— (U//LES) Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups
during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry
out violent acts. Nevertheless, the consequences of a prolonged economic
downturn—including real estate foreclosures, unemployment, and an inability
to obtain credit—could create a fertile recruiting environment for rightwing
extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and
government authorities similar to those in the past.

— (U//LES) Rightwing extremists have capitalized on the election of the first
African American president, and are focusing their efforts to recruit new
members, mobilize existing supporters, and broaden their scope and appeal
through propaganda, but they have not yet turned to attack planning.

It goes on to say what we’re seeing now is similar to the 1990’s etc. (In case you didn’t know, Bill Clinton was really the first Black President). This report, though, has a new twist about Veterans returning home. Instead of saying this time (as the last report) that they were mentally unstable and likely to form anti-government groups, this report claims that they are targets for recruitment by right-wing Extremists because of their military skills.Yet, The Serve America Act (still in legislation), which aims to have 250,000 AmeriCorps members by the year 2017, also states that Veterans with these skills are ideal for recruitment into national service under this Act (page 234):
(ii) recruiting veterans, particularly returning veterans, into service opportunities, including opportunities that utilize their military experience;

So, the DHS reports echos exactly what is in the Serve America Act, but instead of serving the government, they would be serving right-wing extremists. So i guess both the DNC (sponsoring this bill) and right-wing extremists want these guys for their skills according to the Serve America Act and the DHS report. Go figure! The rest of the DHS report goes on to explain these conditions causing an increase in hostility towards the govenment etc. There is a small section on Disgruntled Veterans too (now looking further down in the report).The first report of this nature put intense pressure on Janet Napolitano for releasing it. Will she get the same scrutiny for this report?

The Year in Review: Assessing the Obama Administration by Sean Osborne, Associate Director, Military Affairs 30 March 2010:

About a year ago Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano defined the current administration’s view of what constituted the greatest threat to the United States. Napolitano flat out said that right wing extremism included groups which oppose abortion and immigration. She also named American military veterans and returning combat veterans as potential terrorists. In so doing Napolitano gave the current administration’s official stamp of approval to the 9-page political witch hunt assessment her Office of Intelligence and Analysis had issued a day or so earlier. Overwhelmingly that report identified politically conservative Christians as constituting the primary domestic terrorist threat facing the United States of America.This determination was made after eight years of the Global War on Terrorism’s combat operations on foreign soil and counter-insurgency operations here at home against Islamic militants was down-graded to overseas contingency operations against man-caused disasters.

More recently this same administration issued its Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) for 2010. The QDR is a Congressional required-by-law review intended to rebalance and reform America’s defense priorities. The 2010 QDR completely ignores the threat from Sunni Islamic terrorists and the Shi’a Islamic Republic of Iran. Clearly, both the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis assessment and the Department of Defense QDR were driven by purely ideological mandates of the Obama Administration. They are part of the same whole socialist cloth being woven in the United States of America today.The past weekend’s raids in America’s heartland are the first game the Obama Administration believes it has taken in the year-old open season on Anti-Abortion Christians and Veterans. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is on record saying that these arrests constitute a severe blow to a dangerous organization that today stands accused of conspiring to levy war against the United States.Apparently the Obama Administration has determined that Al-Qaeda, HAMAS, Hezbollah and other factions of Islamic terror and their allies no longer exist in these United States.These raids in America’s heartland occurred within days of the new foreign war being declared by the Obama Administration against the government of Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel.I cannot imagine what I’ll have to write about a year from now, if I’m allowed to write at all.

Questions surround Midwest raids against militia groups
By Douglas J. Hagmann, Director

29 March 2010: An army of federal, state and local law enforcement agents conducted coordinated raids in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio over the weekend, arresting at least three men on gun charges. Initial reports and details leading to the raids remain sketchy, but it has been verified that the raids focused on domestic militia groups, including one fundamentalist Christian organization that openly prepared and trained for a biblical end-times scenario. According to published reports, at least one raid was aimed at Hutaree, an apparent Christian survivalist organization. Their website proclaims their mission, in part, is preparing for the end time battles to keep the testimony of Jesus Christ alive.Law enforcement sources contacted by this author have been extremely tight-lipped about the raids, stating that the investigation and search for others is continuing. The arrest warrants and other relevant documents will remain under federal seal at least until later today.

Reports have surfaced that alleges at least one member of Hutaree had made threats of violence against Islamic organizations,although the origin of these allegations are unclear. During the raids, it was reported that a member of Hutaree contacted a leader of the unrelated Michigan militia for assistance, but such assistance was denied. Two separate sources providing information to this author claim that the member of the Michigan militia who was contacted during the raid turned out to be a Muslim member who has been working with federal officials.The raids against the militias, including the Christian survivalist organization, were conducted in the wake of our March 25th report that disclosed a shift of focus by federal authorities onto domestic groups that allegedly pose a threat to domestic security. We will have more detailed information on the raids as it becomes available. We are also monitoring the response of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) as unconfirmed reports indicate that the leaders from the Michigan chapter and their Washington, DC headquarters are reportedly being briefed by high-level federal officials in advance of public disclosures relating to the raids.

Rationalizing poor decisions, Having an illusion of invulnerability, Maintaining an illusion of unanimity IPCC/CRU Self-Deception Through Groupthink By Dr. Tim Ball Tuesday, March 30, 2010

Few understand the extent of corrupted science produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Data was altered, or completely ignored and research deliberately directed to prove their claim that humans were causing global warming.

People identified in the leaked emails of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) were primarily responsible through the Physical Science Basis Report of Working Group I of the IPCC and the Summary for Policymakers (SPM). Politics is clearly the motive for some scientists like James Hansen, Stephen Schneider and others, but this is not so clear for most at the CRU. Which begs the question how and why supposedly intelligent people became involved and continued to participate in such corruption?

The Group
Irving Janis developed the concept of Groupthink, which requires unanimity at the expense of quality decisions.Groups affected by groupthink ignore alternatives and tend to take irrational actions that dehumanize other groups. A group is especially vulnerable to groupthink when its members are similar in background, when the group is insulated from outside opinions, and when there are no clear rules for decision-making.The CRU/IPCC pattern is a classic example.

Groupthink
Here’s a list of some symptoms of groupthink with examples from CRU/IPCC emails and actions.Having an illusion of invulnerability. Content of the emails is a litany of arrogant invulnerability. In a backhanded way Overpeck provides support for this position because he advised them on Sep 9, 2009 to Please write all emails as though they will be made public.They didn’t listen because they believed they were invulnerable.Rationalizing poor decisions. Jones rationalized the decision to withhold Freedom of Information (FOI) to the University of East Anglia staff on December 3, 2008 as follows, Once they became aware of the types of people we were dealing with, everyone at UEA (in the registry and in the Environmental Sciences school - the head of school and a few others) became very supportive.Believing in the group’s morality. The entire body of emails supports this claim. Rob Wilson wrote on February 21, 2006 I need to diplomatically word all this. I never wanted to criticise Mike’s work in any way. It was for that reason that I made little mention to it initially.On May 6, 1999 Mann wrote to Phil Jones, Trust that I’m certainly on board w/you that we’re all working towards a common goal and later I trust that history will give us all proper credit for what we’re doing here.So do I!

Conversely, Keith Briffa, who I believe was the whistleblower, battled with Mann and became increasingly alienated from the group. On June 17, 2002 he wrote,I have just read this letter and I think it is crap. I am sick to death of Mann stating his reconstruction represents the tropical area just because it contains a few (poorly temperature representative) tropical series.Sharing stereotypes which guide the decision. This takes the form of unethical comments of practice going without challenge because they were all doing it. On September 19, 1996 Funkhouser wrote, I really wish I could be more positive about the Kyrgyzstan material, but I swear I pulled every trick out of my sleeve trying to milk something out of that.Exercising direct pressure on others. On April 24, 2003 Wigley wrote, One approach is to go direct to the publishers and point out the fact that their journal is perceived as being a medium for disseminating misinformation under the guise of refereed work. I use the word perceived here, since whether it is true or not is not what the publishers care about—it is how the journal is seen by the community that counts. They also got James Saiers, editor of Geophysical Research Letters, fired.

Not expressing your true feelings. On the October 14, 2009 Trenberth expresses something to Tom Wigley that none of them ever dared say in public. How come you do not agree with a statement that says we are nowhere close to knowing where energy is going or whether clouds are changing to make the planet brighter. We are not close to balancing the energy budget. The fact that we can not account for what is happening in the climate system makes any consideration of geoengineering quite hopeless as we will never be able to tell if it is successful or not! It is a travesty! Maintaining an illusion of unanimity. Briffa struggles to maintain the illusion when he writes to Mann on April 29 2007,I tried hard to balance the needs of the science and the IPCC, which were not always the same. I worried that you might think I gave the impression of not supporting you well enough while trying to report on the issues and uncertainties.Using mindguards to protect the group from negative information.The idea is that we working climate scientists should have a place where we can mount a rapid response to supposedly bombshell papers that are doing the rounds and give more context to climate related stories or events.This was Mann’s comment to the group about establishment of Realclimate to act as mindguards.

Some of the negative outcomes of groupthink also fit the actions of the CRU/IPCC group. Examining few alternatives. They narrowed the options by the definition of climate change to only those caused by human activities. Of the three greenhouse gases, almost all the focus is on CO2. Not being critical of each other’s ideas. Not only were they not critical, but they peer reviewed each other’s work and controlled who they recommended to editors for reviewers. Mann to Jones June 4, 2003I’d like to tentatively propose to pass this along to Phil as the official keeper of the draft to finalize and submit IF it isn’t in satisfactory shape by the time I have to leave.On August 5, 2009 Jones wrote to Grant Foster in response to his request for reviewers for an article,I’d go for one of Tom Peterson or Dave Easterling. To get a spread, I’d go with 3 US, One Australian and one in Europe. So Neville Nicholls and David Parker. All of them know the sorts of things to say - about our comment and the awful original, without any prompting.Not examining early alternatives. There was a graph of temperatures drawn by Lamb showing the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and used in the first IPCC Report. It was correct but contradicted their claim of modern warming. As Mann said to Jones on June 4, 2003, it would be nice to try to contain the putative MWP, even if we don’t yet have a hemispheric mean reconstruction available that far back.They chose to rewrite history.

Not seeking expert opinion. Professor Wegman spoke directly to this problem in his report for the US Senate on the infamous hockey stick graph. It is important to note the isolation of the paleoclimate community; even though they rely heavily on statistical methods they do not seem to be interacting with the statistical community.Being highly selective in gathering information. Apart from only looking at human causes, the CRU emails have many examples of data selected to prove their point. Tim Osborn to the group on October 5, 1999 speaks of the issue McIntyre identified of truncated records. They go from 1402 to 1995, although we usually stop the series in 1960 because of the recent non-temperature signal that is superimposed on the tree-ring data that we use. On March 19, 2009 Santer wrote to Jones about the Royal Meteorological Society (RMS) asking for data used for a publication.If the RMS is going to require authors to make ALL data available - raw data PLUS results from all intermediate calculations - I will not submit any further papers to RMS journals.On September 27, 2009 Tom Wigley wrote to Phil Jones about a problem with Sea Surface Temperatures (SST),So, if we could reduce the ocean blip by, say, 0.15 deg C, then this would be significant for the global mean – but we’d still have to explain the land blip.Not having contingency plans. They never expected they would be exposed. But they were exposed. Now most can’t believe scientists could ignore or deliberately manipulate data, distort procedures and not have more of them speak out. As Janis explains groupthink, occurs when a group makes faulty decisions because group pressures lead to a deterioration of “mental efficiency, reality testing, and moral judgment.Politicians seem to have the greatest difficulty possibly because they suffer groupthink.
