25 Behold, I have told you before.

1 TIMOTHY 4:1-2

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

MARK 13:22-23
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

Newt Gingrich: Tea Party Will Become Militant Faction of Republican Party
Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com April 23, 2010

Neocons hate the Tea Party almost as much as Democrats and liberals. And that is why the neocon and potential Republican presidential candidate New Gingrich called the Tea Party militant the other day.The Tea Party movement, said Gingrich while speaking at an event in York County, Pennsylvania, is a natural expression of frustration with Republicans and anger at Democrats,which is more likely to end up as the militant wing of the Republican Party than a third party.

MSNBC plays false right-left paradigm game with Newt’s comment.

Gingrich’s dismissal of the Tea Party as an irrelevant and hot-headed faction of the establishment Republican party arrives around the same time as Karl Rove’s preposterous claim that Libertarians and Ron Paulites decided to take over the movement. In fact, the Tea Party (orginally the Boston Tea Party) was founded in 2006by a group of Libertarians and was subsequently infiltrated and hijacked by establishment Republicans, the exact opposite of what the weasel and war criminal Karl Rove claimed.Gingrich and Rove are likely responding to a recent poll that indicates the Tea Party is more of an existential threat to the Republican Party than the Democrats.In no sense of the word is Newt Gingrich a conservative or even a traditional Republican. He was a fellow at the neocon criminal organizations the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution. During the Bush regime he sat on the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board with fellow neocon Richard Perle and representatives of the death merchants Bechtel, Boeing, TRW, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin and Booz Allen Hamilton. Rockefeller minion Henry Kissinger was also a member during the Bush years.

He was also a distinguished advisor at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, another neocon think tank that is closely linked with the National Endowment for Democracy, an organization that does today what was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA, as one of its founders, Allen Weinstein, admitted in 2000. In short, NED overthrows governments in disfavor by the elite and organizes color revolutions designed to replace democratic elections.The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (an Orwellian name if ever there was one) is a virtual rat hole of neocons including former CIA director James Woolsey, the senator from Israel, Joe Lieberman, Gary Bauer, Frank Gaffney, Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, Walid Phares, and a scattering of like-minded Democrats such as the gun-grabber Frank Lautenberg and Chuckie Schumer.Gingrich is reputed to be a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and to have ties to the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research (founded by the late William J. Casey, Reagan’s CIA director who was largely responsible for creating the Afghan Mujihadeen that would later become the CIA asset al-Qaeda).Newt has also attended Bohemian Grove where he rubbed elbows with occultists and male prostitutes. Newt has said he is not associated with worshipers of the Canaanite owl of Bohemia but he is a demonstrated liar (his photo appears on the pages of the Annals of the Bohemian Club).

Gingrich and Karl Rove and all the other neocons and bankster minions will soon become a historical footnote. During the upcoming November mid-term elections they will be swept into the dustbin of history as the Tea Party movement returns Congress to the American people. Newt will not be the 2012 Republican presidential candidate —or will Mitt Romney or any other establishment Republican, not unless the Republicans want to make their party completely irrelevant.Newt and Karl are the militants, not the Tea Party. In fact, they are war criminals and economic terrorists responsible for murdering over a million Iraqis and working as handmaidens for a cartel of international bankers who are about to give us a double-dip economic depression.

Spain Wants Israel's Support on Mediterranean Union
by Maayana Miskin APR 23,10

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman met with Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos on Thursday during a visit to Madrid. Moratinos called on Israel to support the Mediterranean Union, and expressed support for United States efforts to promote talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.The Mediterranean Union, founded in 2008, aims to unite the European Union, northern Africa, Israel, and several Arab League nations to discuss matters of mutual interest. One of its aims is to promote Middle East peace, by bringing Israel and Arab countries together.

Moratinos's request for support for the Union follows an incident earlier in the month in which the union was unable to adapt a regional water management strategy due to a disagreement between Israel and Arab states over a reference to Gaza, Judea and Samaria. Arab states wished to refer to the regions as occupied territories, while Israel did not agree to the term.Arab states rejected a European suggestion to refer to the areas as territories under occupation.Failure to pass the water management initiative was seen as a blow to the body, and an indication that it may not be effective. Previously, the Union experienced trouble during the early 2009 Cast Lead counterterror offensive in Gaza. At the time, analysts expressed concern that the conflict would render the Mediterranean Union no longer viable.The Union is hoping to recover from its past troubles during its first ever summit, to be held in June in Barcelona.

Report: PA Forces Turn to Hamas
by Maayana Miskin APR 23,10

While Palestinian Authority officials put the focus on winning concessions from Israel, a recent WorldNetDaily report indicates that they may face a greater challenge – a Hamas uprising from within. Support for Hamas is growing within PA ranks, WND said, as it did in Gaza prior to the 2007 Hamas takeover of the region.

Quoting PA sources, WND said several members of Fatah had recently been arrested for helping Hamas to establish an infrastructure in Shechem. Fatah members helped a doctor smuggle roughly $1 million to Hamas for the purpose of buying weapons, the sources said.Hamas is suspected of rebuilding its terrorist infrastructure in other Judea and Samaria cities as well. Hamas terrorists in Jenin recently managed to obtain hundreds of high-powered assault rifles, PA officials said.In addition, PA officials suspect that Hamas is infiltrating Fatah by secretly recruiting members, including those in the PA armed forces. Many young members of the forces have received military training from the US, as part of a plan to train the PA to fight terrorist uprisings.Hamas is believed by many PA analysts to have infiltrated Fatah in Gaza prior to its takeover of Gaza in 2007. The fight for Gaza was relatively swift and bloodless – of the several tens of thousands of armed Hamas and Fatah members in Gaza, slightly more than 100 were killed, and Hamas completed its takeover in under one week. Some analysts believe the Hamas victory was swift because many Fatah fighters stood aside and willingly allowed the Islamic group to seize control.Hamas has previously threatened to conquer Judea and Samaria, but more recently has made overtures to Fatah and is seeking reunification.

PA Troops Jailed for Terrorism
The WND report came as PA officers were arrested on suspicion of involvement in terrorism. According to PA media, Israeli troops arrested two members of the PA's US-trained forces, one of them a member of the elite Presidential Guard unit.A third PA officer, Salim Ubayat, was recently convicted and sentenced for terrorist attacks on Israel. Ubayat was convicted of membership in the Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades, of planning bombing attacks and of carrying out shooting attacks in Judea and Samaria. (IsraelNationalNews.com)

For nations living the good life, the party's over, IMF says By Howard Schneider Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, April 24, 2010

In the lingo of the International Monetary Fund, the future of the world hinges on rebalancing and consolidation, antiseptic words that would not seem to raise a fuss.
But the translation is a bit ruder, something on the order of: Suck it up. The party's over.To keep the global economy on track, people in the United States and the rest of the developed world need to work longer before retiring, pay higher taxes and expect less from government. And the cheap imports lining the shelves of mega-chains such as Wal-Mart and Target? They need to be more expensive. That's the practical meaning of a series of policy papers and statements issued in recent days by IMF officials, who have a long history of stabilizing economies and solving global financial problems, as they plot a course to keep the world economy growing and reduce the risk of another great recession.That message has been delivered subtly, woven into documents with titles such as Resolving the Crisis Legacy and Meeting New Challenges to Financial Stability,and justified by concepts such as raising retirement age in line with life expectancy,as IMF economic counselor Olivier Blanchard put it this week.

But fully deciphered, it means a pretty serious reworking of expectations in the developed world: changes in labor rules, product prices, currency values and even the social contract between governments and an aging citizenry. It is not that living standards will lower, but they will not increase as fast as they have been, said Domenico Lombardi, a former IMF executive director. The ideas being discussed by world leaders are coded words,he said.They don't like words like imposing higher taxes and cutting spending.

Rebalancing

The IMF has long had a reputation as a bearer of bad news -- it dispatches well-educated and diplomatically deft teams to tell economically troubled countries how many people they have to fire and which programs they have to cut to get financial assistance. But the IMF now finds itself in the odd position of having that conversation not with a single ailing sovereign but with the developed countries at the core of the world system, including the United States.

Its prescription is centered on two concepts.

Rebalancing is an idea that most everyone endorses -- including the technicians at the fund and President Obama and the leaders of the G-20 group of economically powerful nations. In broad strokes, it means curbing what has been a massive transfer of capital from nations that consume more than they produce, such as the United States, to nations that produce more than they consume, such as China. The imbalance has been key to China's modernization: The country buys U.S. government bonds by the tens of billions to keep the dollar stronger than it would be and to keep its domestic currency -- and its exports -- cheaper. Looked at one way, the flow of U.S. debt to the People's Bank of China has acted like a giant, collective credit card, underwriting consumers across the United States and driving the business models of major retailers such as Wal-Mart. The message from the IMF is that the card is about maxed out and that the imbalance in trade flows needs to be corrected.

How to do it? One way is for China -- or Asian exporters, more generally -- to let their currencies rise on world markets. The other way, which IMF economist Blanchard raised this week, would be to devalue the dollar, the euro and other developed-world currencies. The advanced economies as a whole may need to depreciate their currencies so as to increase their net exports,Blanchard said. The less well-advertised side of the equation: If the dollar is worth less, then imports, regardless of their source, will cost more. U.S. exports will be proportionately cheaper -- a good thing for American businesses trying to become more competitive in overseas markets -- but everything from iPods to jeans to the latest Barbie doll would jump in price. The ideas offered by the IMF could certainly reorder the balance of the international economy, but not in a way that benefits the average person in the U.S.,said J. Craig Shearman, vice president of government affairs for the National Retail Federation. He continued: If a few factories have an increase in exports, that is good for them, but it leaves the vast majority of people paying more for consumer goods. Talking about consuming less and saving more is a nice, ivory tower approach. But it is not real world economics. People have to put clothes on their children's backs and food on the table.Wal-Mart declined to comment.

Consolidation

Fiscal consolidation is another idea promoted by IMF leaders. Again, the aim seems unobjectionable: The United States and other developed-world governments ran record deficits during the crisis, both to pay for stimulus programs and because tax and other receipts cratered. Across the developed world, the IMF says, government debt will rise from about 80 percent of economic output before the crisis to roughly 115 percent of output in 2014. That's considered a dangerous trajectory, and IMF officials say that by next year, governments need to announce credible plans to cut their annual deficits, turn them into surpluses and start paying off what is owed.

The level of the correction needed is large, perhaps 10 percent of gross domestic product. In the United States, that would amount to roughly $1.4 trillion annually, to be cut from government programs or raised through new taxes. Better-than-expected growth would help, or increases in productivity, or even surprises in the form of new technologies. But what's on the horizon is, more likely, a difficult reckoning -- one that Greece is facing and that other developed nations know is in the offing, French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde said in an interview Thursday. We're all in the same boat,Lagarde said as she looked ahead to a tough debate in France over changes in pension rules that will make not just government workers but also many in the private sector add years before their expected retirements. The IMF is studying issues such as which taxes should be raised and which programs should be cut to make consolidation as painless as possible. But it views a longer working life as an important tool -- one that would save large amounts of money in the future without cutting spending and decreasing economic activity today. In the United States, a new fiscal commission is beginning to study how to bring U.S. government debt into line.

You will see many headlines complaining and moaning and stirring the pot, Lagarde said, as issues such as pension reform are debated. But ultimately, she said,there is no way out.

WND FREEDOM INDEX POLL-Dem faith in Obama plunges as health-care details emerge Those who believe freedoms are increasing drop 10 percent April 22, 2010
11:00 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh 2010 WorldNetDaily

Editor's note: This is another in a series of monthly Freedom Index polls conducted exclusively for WND by the public-opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.While Americans generally took a breather from their increasing worry about losing freedoms under President Obama, Democrats over the last month actually began to express growing alarm as details of his health-care plan started to emerge. The WND Freedom Index poll from Wenzel Strategies revealed that the index was 47.2 for the month of April, up just a tick from the near-record low of 46.7 in March. The poll was conducted by telephone April 16-18 using an automated technology calling a random sampling of listed telephone numbers nationwide. It carries a margin of error of 3.29 percentage points. On the core question of whether, under the Obama administration, Americans have seen an increase or a decrease in their personal freedoms, a majority of Americans still believe there has been a decrease of freedoms,Wenzel said in an analysis of the results.

The last month, however, has seen at least a temporary halt in the downward movement, as 52 percent in this latest survey said the nation has seen a cut in freedoms, compared to 55 percent who said the same thing last month.He continued, However, the percentage of respondents who said they think Obama has presided over an increase in freedoms actually dropped from 33 percent a month ago to 31 percent today.Further, Wenzel noted, Democrats have indicated they are becoming alarmed. The poll shows Democrats have had a significant change of heart toward the negative in the last 30 days. In March, 68 percent of Democrats said they believed Obama has led to an increase in freedoms, but this month, just 58 percent said the same thing. It's unclear what has caused this significant erosion in Obama's political base, but it bears watching in the months to come.Get Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny, the No. 1 NYT best-seller by talk radio's fastest growing superstar. Wenzel noted some of the details of Obama's health-care program have begun to emerge this month, revealing far more restrictions and taxes than first advertised.U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's claim that Congress had to pass a bill to find out what is in it is coming true, and it is coming back to haunt Democrats,he said.

WND reported just a day earlier about a group of Americans who believe the federal government overstepped its constitutional bounds in passing the health-care legislation. They have begun rallying allies to a bold and controversial initiative: state nullification of the federal law.Now that health-care reform has been signed into law, the question people ask most is, What do we do about it?said Michael Boldin, founder of the Tenth Amendment Center, in a statement. The status-quo response includes lobbying Congress, marching on D.C., voting the bums out,suing in federal court and more. But the last 100 years have proven that none of these really work, and government continues to grow year in and year out.Instead, the center is reaching back into the history books to suggest states take up nullification, a controversial measure in which states essentially would say to the federal government, Not in our borders, you don't. That law has no effect here.Get the prescription for reclaiming America's heritage of liberty, justice and morality – Joseph Farah's Taking America Back,autographed only at the WND SuperStore. The center is partnering with WeRefuse.com to announce release of model nullification legislation for states, called the Federal Health Care Nullification Act, and a call for 100,000 Americans to join a state-by-state petition to prompt legislators into action.

Wenzel also noted that April questions were fielded just after the April 15 tax-filing deadline – which also was a day for tea-party rallies across the country in protest of big government and high taxes. As those rallies became the focus of scorn from some media outlets, 62 percent of respondents said they felt that Americans today stand to face at least some retribution or ridicule for choosing to exercise their constitutional freedom to associate with whomever they wish,Wenzel said. One in three respondents said they believe Americans are subject to substantial levels of scorn, ridicule, or even retribution for exercising their freedoms to gather with those who might not be acceptable to other elements of society. Not surprisingly, it is the conservative respondents who feel the most oppressed on this point – as 79 percent said Americans are subject to penalty of some sort based on who they associate with. Liberals were much less likely to see this as a problem – yet still 36 percent of liberals said they do think Americans in general come in for some penalty based on their circle of friends,Wenzel's analysis found. This sentiment is clearly captured in this polling data. This data is particularly stunning given that it is every American's constitutional right to associate without fear of penalty or retribution,he said. The same poll showed Congress' approval rating again has plunged to about 12 percent, tying an all-time low.

But it can go even lower, he said.

As Obama and congressional Democrats now turn their eye to imposing heavy regulations on the national financial industry and the energy industry and on recasting immigration policy – all unpopular initiatives – there is no floor to how low their approval ratings might go.The monthly Freedom Index moved a tick upward based on internal moves that are beginning to indicate increased polarization of the American public in the wake of the passage of the divisive health-care bill in Congress and as Americans get a peek at other controversial issues that are likely to be moved to the top of the political agenda this year.The index is based on a 100-point scale based on poll-respondent answers to 10 questions that sample different aspects of freedom in America, including freedom of speech, association, worship and assembly. An index rating of 50 is dead even, with ratings above that point signaling positive feelings about freedom in America and ratings below that point signaling negative feelings. The index reached its lowest point ever – 46.3 – in December and nudged upward in January but then fell for two straight months.
Among the numbers in the poll:42.8 percent of Americans believe there's been a big decrease in freedoms under Obama. Another 9.6 percent see some decrease.40.3 percent of Americans believe they are not very or not at all free to speak their minds without fear of punishment.More than 33 percent of Americans believe they cannot associate with whom they choose without worrying about being punished or investigated.One in five Americans expresses fear over being investigated for the way one worships.More than 45 percent believe government is too intrusive.More than 21 percent self-censor their thoughts on a given subject because of fear of penalty.

Strong earthquake rattles eastern Indonesia island
APR 24,10

JAKARTA, Indonesia – An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.1 has struck Indonesia's North Maluku province. There have been no immediate reports of damage and no tsunami warning has been issued.The U.S. Geological Survey says Saturday's quake was centered near Obi island at a depth of about 33 miles (53 kilometers).The area is some 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) east of Jakarta.Indonesia's Meteorology, Geophysics and Climate Agency measured the quake at 6.4 magnitude.Indonesia rests on a series of fault lines that make the archipelago nation one of the most earthquake-prone. A quake last year killed more than 1,000 people on Sumatra. Another off Indonesia's coast caused the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed 230,000.

Earthquake strikes near Pacific island of Tonga By RAY LILLEY, Associated Press Writer – Wed Apr 21, 5:58 pm ET

WELLINGTON, New Zealand – A 5.9-magnitude earthquake hit near the Pacific island of Tonga on Thursday, but no casualties or damage were reported and no tsunami warning was issued.The quake struck 65 miles (135 kilometers) northeast of Hihifo, Tonga, at a depth of 21 miles (35 kilometers).Many residents of American Samoa felt the quake and went out to look at the ocean while listening to radio broadcasts.Nothing is registered on our censors for tsunami waves, according to Carol Baqui, a forecaster with the American Samoa weather service.No tsunami warning was issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii.Police in the Samoan capital, Apia, said they had no reports on the temblor. We didn't feel any earthquake, an officer, who declined to be named, said.Julie Dutton, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colorado, it was a relatively small quake.Right now we don't have any reports of it being felt. It's pretty far off the coast so we're not anticipating anything damaging,Dutton said.Preliminary estimates put the quake at 6.2, but that was later downgraded to 5.9.

A magnitude 8.0 earthquake close to neighboring Samoa last Sept. 29 killed 34 people in American Samoa, 183 in Samoa and nine in Tonga, when tsunami waves up to 46 feet (14 meters) high crashed ashore. It also created a sea floor fault up to 190 miles (300 kilometers) long and 23 feet (7 meters) deep.About 90 percent of the world's temblors occur in the so-called Ring of Fire — an arc of earthquake and volcanic zones that stretches around the Pacific Rim.Associated Press writers Fili Sagapolutele in Pago Pago, American Samoa, and David Melendy in Washington contributed to this report.

Abbas: No Palestinian state in temporary borders By KARIN LAUB, Associated Press Writer - APR 24,10

RAMALLAH, West Bank – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state within temporary borders, an idea he said was recently proposed for restarting peace talks.In a speech to leaders of his Fatah movement, Abbas urged Israel to resume serious negotiations on the terms of full Palestinian statehood, adding that such talks should wrap up within two years.Israel and the Palestinians remain far apart on the framework for such talks, and U.S. Mideast envoy George Mitchell returned to the region on Friday for a new push to narrow the differences.The U.S. has proposed indirect talks in which Mitchell would shuttle between Israeli and Palestinian leaders. However, the Palestinians say they won't engage unless Israel agrees not to start new housing projects for Jews in traditionally Arab east Jerusalem, claimed by the Palestinians as a capital. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly rejected a building freeze in east Jerusalem.

The Palestinians want a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, areas Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast War. They also seek a freeze of all settlement construction before a resumption of peace talks.In his speech, Abbas referred to recent proposals — apparently from Israel — for a temporary state but did not elaborate. Frankly, we will not accept the state with temporary borders, because it is being offered these days,he said.He said the Palestinians were being asked to take a state with provisional borders on 40 or 50 percent, and after that we will see.Israeli government officials were not immediately available for comment on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath.

Abbas aide Nabil Abu Rdeneh denied that Israel officially raised the idea.

However, a Palestinian academic said Israel offered Abbas such a state on more than 50 percent of the West Bank. The academic said he served as a go-between for the two sides and spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief reporters.A Palestinian state with provisional borders is part of the U.S.-backed road map peace plan as an interim step toward full independence.The temporary state would only be established on parts of the territory the Palestinians want for their state. However, the road map never got off the ground and the Palestinians have repeatedly rejected provisional statehood, fearing the temporary borders would become the final ones.U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton also brushed aside the notion when asked about it Friday. So there's a lot of ideas that have been floated around, but at the end of the day it's only the Israelis and Palestinians who can make decisions for themselves, she said.Abbas, meanwhile, called for an open dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians, saying time for a so-called two-state solution is running out, despite strong support on both sides.I call for an open dialogue with all Israeli factions, leaders, an open dialogue,he said.We are ready for dialogue, because we know the overwhelming majority of Israelis support the two-state solution.Associated Press writers Mohammed Daraghmeh in Ramallah and Dalia Nammari in Jerusalem contributed to this report.

Thousands protest in Ukraine over deal with Russia By ANNA MELNICHUK, Associated Press Writer - APR 24,10

KIEV, Ukraine – Several thousand Ukrainians rallied in front of parliament Saturday to protest a deal allowing Russia to keep its navy in Ukraine for another 25 years.

Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko told the protesters that all opposition forces must unite to resist the deal signed earlier this week which she denounced as an unprecedented step of national treason and shame.The agreement signed Wednesday is the first concrete sign that newly-elected President Viktor Yanukovych will steer Ukraine back into Russia's orbit, reversing his pro-Western predecessor's attempts to decrease Moscow's influence.The pact allows Russia to extend its lease of the Black Sea Port of Sevastopol for another 25 years after the current lease agreement expires in 2017. Russia immediately rewarded Yanukovych by giving the ex-Soviet republic steep discounts for the natural gas on which its industries depend.

Tymoshenko and other opposition leaders said the deal amounted to ceding control over the nation's territory.We are losing our territory, we are restricting our sovereignty,Tymoshenko said at the rally.Yanukovych will split Ukraine in two as nobody has done before.Yanukovych has broad support in the Russian-speaking east and south, but faces strong opposition in western Ukraine. He narrowly defeated Tymoshenko in February's vote.The agreement is set to come up for ratification Tuesday in Russia and Ukraine. While Tymoshenko and other opposition leaders said they would try to block the vote, they will face an uphill battle in parliament controlled by Yanukovych's party and its allies.Tymoshenko's ally, deputy parliament speaker Mykola Tomenko, said that even if parliament ratifies the deal Tuesday,we will do our best to denounce it anyway, if not now, then later.Police separated opposition demonstrators from several hundred Yanukovych supporters.We are defending the new authorities,said one of them, Valentyn Bodvin, a businessman.The opposition has lost its chance. They were doing nothing for five years.

Iran begins war games in Persian Gulf oil route By NASSER KARIMI and LEE KEATH, Associated Press Writers – Thu Apr 22, 2:58 pm ET

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard held war games Thursday in the strategic Persian Gulf oil route, the Hormuz Strait, a show of its military strength at a time when the country's leaders are depicting President Barack Obama's new nuclear policy as a threat.Ahead of the military maneuvers, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused Washington of trying to dominate the world through its nuclear arsenal and vowed that Iran would not bend before what he called implicit atomic threats.Khamenei was referring to Obama's announcement earlier this month of a new nuclear strategy that focuses less on Cold War threats and more on preventing the spread of weapons. As part of the new guidelines, Washington vowed not to use its arsenal against nations that don't have their own nuclear weapons, with the exception of countries that are not abiding by international non-proliferation rules — a caveat the administration said meant Iran and North Korea.Khamenei's rhetoric, depicting Washington as seeking to dominate Iran, appeared aimed at keeping up support at home as Iran tried to fend off a new U.S. attempt to win a fourth round of United Nations sanctions over Iran's nuclear program.

The Obama administration is lobbying hard at the U.N. Security Council for tougher punishment of Iran over its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment, a process that can produce either a warhead or fuel for a nuclear reactor. The U.S. and its allies accuse Iran of seeking to build a weapon, a claim Tehran denies.Tehran launched its own push Thursday to try to weaken the U.S. sanctions campaign as Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki headed to Austria, the first of several Security Council members he plans to tour in coming days. Mottaki has said he wants to talk with council members about possibilities for a nuclear fuel deal that was originally touted as a possible way to ease the international standoff over Iran's nuclear program but has since hit a dead end.Iran has been holding military maneuvers, dubbed as The Great Prophet, in the strategic waters of the Persian Gulf annually since 2006 to show off its military capabilities — and serve as an implicit warning of the consequences if the United States or Israel attack Iran's nuclear facilities.Iran's leaders have said in the past that if attacked, the country would respond by shutting off the Strait of Hormuz, the mouth of the Gulf through which around 40 percent of the world's oil and gas supplies pass, as well as by attacking American bases in the Gulf.

In 1988, the U.S. Navy accidentally shot down an Iranian civilian airliner over the waterway as the eight-year Iran-Iraq war was winding down and killed nearly 300 people. Iran claimed it was intentional, as a show of support to Iraqis. The U.S later paid compensations for the victims.The three-day war games brought in naval, air and ground units from the Revolutionary Guard, state television reported. In the past four years, the maneuvers were held in the summer, and there was no official explanation why they were brought forward this year. But it came after repeated denunciations by Iran's top leaders over the past week of the new U.S. nuclear policy.On Thursday, the military unveiled a new attack speedboat, describing it as an ultra-speed and smart vessel called Ya Mahdi.Iran also said 313 smaller speedboats with the capability of firing rockets and missiles would participate.

State television later showed video footage of a Ya Mahdi vessel firing rockets at a still target in the sea, while dozens of the small speedboats launched rocket-propelled grenades at an abandoned ship and troops boarded it in a simulated attack on an enemy warship.On Wednesday, Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi said new weapons would be test-fired in the war games, but did not give details. Iran has declared many advances in its military industries and sciences to demonstrate self-sufficiency despite sanctions and attempts by the U.S. and its allies to isolate the country.The annual maneuvers are also a testimony to the growing power in Iran of the Revolutionary Guard, the elite force tasked with protecting the rule of Islamic clerics. The 120,000-member force is separate from the regular military, with its own naval, air and ground forces, and has grown to take a hand in every critical area including missile development, oil resources, dam building, road construction, telecommunications and nuclear technology. It also has taken the lead in cracking down on Iran's domestic opposition amid the turmoil since last year's disputed presidential election.

U.S. officials played down the significance of the war games.

Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said they don't seem out of the ordinary from what Iran's military has done in the past. He also said Tehran often makes exaggerated claims about its weapons testing.The U.S. Navy said its expected no significant impacts to its operations in the area, where it has a number of ships, including the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower.On Wednesday, ahead of the exercises, Khamenei spoke to a conference of nurses and denounced Obama's new nuclear guidelines. U.S. officials have said the changes aim to push Iran into cooperating with the U.N. on its nuclear program, but the supreme leader depicted them as dangling the threat of nuclear attack over his country. Implicit atomic threats against Iran will have no effect,he said.The Iranian people will not submit to such threats and will bring those who make them to their knees.He repeated that Iran is not seeking to build a nuclear weapon. The nuclear powers, particularly the United States, are using their nuclear might to try to impose their authority over the world,he said. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, meanwhile, flew to Zimbabwe on Thursday where he was welcomed by President Robert Mugabe — a meeting of two leaders united in fierce opposition to the West Iran is the biggest exhibitor at a trade exposition Ahmadinejad is scheduled to open in Zimbabwe's second city of Bulawayo on Friday.

Iran's Ahmadinejad seeks new partners in Africa By JOHN HEILPRIN, Associated Press Writer – Fri Apr 23, 12:55 pm ET

KAMPALA, Uganda – Iran's president is in Africa this week to build alliances to evade stronger U.N. sanctions for his country's nuclear program, ease its international isolation and strengthen its economy.Both Zimbabwe and Uganda, the two countries President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is visiting, have something to offer.Iran has been under harsh criticism from Western nations for pressing ahead with uranium enrichment programs it says are to produce nuclear energy. The West fears the militant Islamic state could develop nuclear weapons.Iran hopes to persuade non-permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, such as Uganda, to vote against new sanctions or at least abstain from the vote, said Alireza Nader, an Iran expert at the Washington-based Rand Corp.Zimbabwe's isolation from the West also appeals to Iran, which is coming under stronger pressure due to its ongoing nuclear program.

In Uganda, Ahmadinejad will discuss his country's nuclear program with President Yoweri Museveni. Uganda has not yet ruled out the possibility it could vote for sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program, said Tamale Mirundi, a spokesman for Museveni.Ahmadinejad landed in Uganda Friday night where he is expected to personally make his case after a two-day trip to Zimbabwe, where President Robert Mugabe urged him to remain resolute in defiance of the West.Ugandan Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kutesa told The Associated Press that while Uganda is a signatory to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and wants nuclear weapons eliminated, we strongly believe that every country has a right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.In Uganda, the Iranian leader also finds a potential business partner just beginning to tap its oil resources. Oil-rich Iran is in the running to build an oil refinery for the African country. It's also built a housing complex with thousands of units and is looking at building a tractor assembly plant and a beef cannery.

Earlier Friday, Ahmadinejad opened a trade fair in Zimbabwe, where he castigated Western nations, saying their bad behavior had enslaved Africans.Some oppressive and arrogant states deny people their rights. Today, they are trying to possess and control world resources,he said, speaking through an interpreter.They want to hinder the way to scientific and development improvements in our countries.Ahmadinejad arrived at the fair in the city of Bulawayo with Mugabe in a vintage British colonial era Bentley limousine and inspected a guard of honor. Ahmadinejad was the first leader from outside Africa to open the exposition since Zimbabwe won independence from Britain in 1980. The first colonial Bulawayo fair 50 years ago was opened by British royalty, conveyed to the site in a similar car.Iran is the largest participant at the fair. Many traditional Western exhibitors and local industries have stayed away from the annual trade fair, once a showcase of regional goods and products, because Zimbabwe's economy has tanked under Mugabe.Ahmadinejad said Iran is interested in Africa's markets and could find like-minded leaders in Africa who face problems with the West. Zimbabwe and Iran say Iran has proposed assembling tractors in Zimbabwe and that the two countries have agreed to set up a joint investment company to help develop industry, energy, mining, water management and social and financial services.At a state dinner Thursday night, Mugabe said both Zimbabwe and Iran are being targeted by the West because of how they want to manage their own natural resources.We remain resolute in defending Zimbabwe's right to exercise it sovereignty over its natural resources. We have equally supported Iran's right to peaceful use of nuclear energy as enshrined in the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, Mugabe said.Zimbabwe and Iran say Iran has proposed assembling tractors in Zimbabwe and that the two countries have agreed to set up a joint investment company to help develop industry, energy, mining, water management and social and financial services.Associated Press reporters Jason Straziuso in Nairobi, Kenya, Angus Shaw in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and Chengetai Zvauya in Harare, Zimbabwe contributed to this report.

Yemen cleric: fight draft law banning child brides
APR 24,10

SAN'A, Yemen – Yemen's most influential Islamic cleric is vowing to gather a million signatures to protest a draft law banning child brides in the impoverished country.
Sheik Abdul-Majid al-Zindani spoke Saturday at a conference in the Yemeni capital, San'a.Proposed legislation to set a minimum marriage age of 17 has been stalled by opposition from religious leaders who say it's un-Islamic. A quarter of all females marry before they turn 15 in Yemen.This month a 13-year-old bride bled to death after she her 23-year-old husband forced her to have sex.The radical cleric says if the law is passed, he'll gather a million signatures to demand that it be repealed. If that doesn't work, he promises to organize mass protests.

Israeli police arrest attacker at Christian shrine
Fri Apr 23, 3:22 pm ET

JERUSALEM – Israeli police say officers shot and wounded a knife-wielding tourist who threatened to stab visitors at a sacred Christian shrine in Jerusalem.Police spokesman Shmulik Ben Ruby said the man waved a knife at people visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on Friday evening. He said a police officer on duty nearby ordered the man to put the weapon down and shot him in the leg when he failed to do so.The man was taken to hospital for treatment. Nobody else was hurt in the incident.

Ben Ruby said the attack did not appear to be politically motivated. No further details, including the nationality of the tourist, were immediately available.Many Christians believe Jesus was crucified, buried and then resurrected at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

Merkel calls for better financial regulation
APR 24,10

BERLIN – German Chancellor Angela Merkel is stressing the need for a better regulation of international financial markets, saying there is still too much speculation going on as exemplified by the financial crisis in Greece.Merkel said in her weekly video podcast Saturday that Germany had asked the European Commission to make suggestions to prohibit such speculation.The chancellor also highlighted the importance of international financial institutions like the IMF and the World Bank in creating more efficient rulings and called on them to help create a ecologically and socially compatible growth in times of globalism.Greece said Friday it would ask for a joint euro zone-International Monetary Fund financial rescue — a move that has the German public concerned that their tax money is going to bail out another country.

Bolivian president creates Mother Earth Ministry
Fri Apr 23, 1:00 pm ET

TIQUIPAYA, Bolivia – Bolivia's president says he is creating a Mother Earth Ministry to promote the planet's rights and says that he would like to establish an international court with the power to punish nations that fail to obey emissions-reduction agreements.The court of climate justice would be located in Cochabama, the central city where President Evo Morales recently hosted a three-day climate-change conference. It was attended by environmentalists, Indian communities and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.Morales revealed the plans Friday as he launched a campaign to plant 10 million trees — equal to Bolivia's population — by April 22, 2011. He did not say what he would do to garner other nations' support for the climate justice court.

African Union leaders meet US national security adviser
Sat Apr 24, 3:55 am ET

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Senior African Union officials met US National Security Advisor General Jim Jones at the White House to discuss increased cooperation between the United States and their organization.The AU delegation, led by chairperson Jean Ping, was on the last day of a three-day visit for the first high-level bilateral talks between the African Union and Washington on issues including fighting hunger, climate change, and boosting peacekeeping operations.Jones and Ping both greatly appreciated the opportunity to meet and discuss shared challenges and opportunities in the areas of peace and security and economic development,the White House said in a statement on Friday.The two agreed on the importance of sustained engagement to strengthen cooperation on bilateral, regional, and global issues.Ping told reporters after the meeting that the AU's 53 member states face issues which are global problems, which can be solved only globally.If you want to talk about climate change or trade, no single (African) country... could be heard. Its voice is too small to be heard individually,Ping said.

When we speak collectively, then we represent a power.The US ambassador to the AU, Michael Battle, said that Washington is seeking to have a relationship with the African Union as a continental body, which does not replace the bilateral relationships we have with individual African nations.In dealing with transnational issues like drug trafficking, climate control, and food security, the only legitimately elected voice to speak for the entire continent is the African Union Commission.A joint statement issued Thursday said the two sides hoped to hold the talks on an annual basis, rotating between Washington and the African Union's headquarters of Addis Ababa.Since it was founded in 2002, the African Union has gradually been assuming a greater role in the continent's security including through peacekeeping in Somalia and Sudan's Darfur region.The bloc also led an invasion in 2008 to stop a rebellion on Anjouan island of the Comoros.The AU delegation also met with senior officials in the State Department, the US Agency for International Development, the Department of Justice and others.
