JUST SAY NO TO DIVIDING JERUSALEM

JERUSALEM DIVIDED

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Barkat: Just Say No to Splitting Jerusalem
by Maayana Miskin OCT 12,10

Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat addressed a crowd in Atlanta on Monday at the annual Jewish National Fund Conference. Barkat discussed the Palestinian Authority's demand that Israel hand over all parts of the city that were under Jordanian control between 1948 and 1967 to become the capital of a new Arab state.Barkat offered a straightforward solution: We just have to say a simple No about Jerusalem to the Palestinians and move on,he said.PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas demands control over all formerly Jordanian parts of Israel's capital city, including the Old City and other historically Jewish areas. The city has been unified for decades, since it was annexed following the Six Day War of 1967.Jerusalem must remain the united, undivided capital of Israel, Barkat told his audience.Barkat's speech took place on the second day of the JNF event. The JNF works to develop Israeli land and infrastructure. Its Atlanta conference focused on core issues challenging Israel, and insights into opportunities to affect change,according to organizers.

Earlier this year Barkat released an outline of his vision for Jerusalem's future. The vision I have for the city is to return Jerusalem to the role it played two and three thousand years ago as a world center - a destination for pilgrims and believers throughout the world,the mayor wrote. He addressed Arab demands to divide the city in his manifesto, saying, Jerusalem must stay united. There is not one example in the world of a divided city that ever worked.Arab journalist Khaled Abu Toameh recently wrote a piece revealing that much of Jerusalem's Arab population prefers Israeli rule to that of the PA. It is only fair to ask the Arabs living in Jerusalem what they want before talking about splitting the city, Toameh said.
Approximately 200,000 Arabs live in the northern, eastern, and southern neighborhoods of Jerusalem demanded by the PA. More than 180,000 Israeli Jews live in those areas as well.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Clock Ticking Away against Obama’s One Year Peace Objective
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu OCT 12,10

The Obama administration is sticking to its hope that the Palestinian Authority and Israel can reach a peace agreement in one year, although both sides in the past week have ignored the clock and drifted out of the time zone.Reporters in Washington have increasingly questioned the feasibility of U.S. President Barack Obama’s goal, set by him and his administration on September 1, when he brought Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas together for the first official face-to-face talks in nearly two years in a high-profile ceremony.Since then, Abbas has refused to enter talks without the pre-condition that Prime Minister Netanyahu extend the same building freeze that was established last year to satisfy his pre-condition for direct talks. With one month left in the 10-month freeze, he finally agreed to talks and began calling on Israel to extend it while refusing Israel’s demand that he recognize the country as a Jewish state.After U.S. State Department spokesman Philip Crowley reiterated the one-year goal in a press conference last week, one reporter asked, No, no, wait. I just want to make sure I have something clear. You said in response to a question a little while ago that your hope remains that you can – that if you can get through this deadlock, you can still get some kind of an agreement in 12 months, a year. But you – is it still 12 months or is it now 11? We’ve already had a month of this, so are you giving yourself an extra month here already? Amid laughter from his colleagues, the journalist added, Has it already been extended? It was really a 13-month process and not a year? Crowley, caught off balance for a couple of seconds, regained his posture and replied,It’s a fair question. At the start of these direct negotiations, it was our view and it remains our view that we can be successful in 12 months. If we get into next year successfully, whether it’s 12 months and one day, 12 months and one week, but it would – on the clock that was started here in Washington in late August, we are now one month into that process.

The spokesman tried to change the subject, but another reporter cut him off and asked, again amid laughter, Is it accurate to say that you’re still trying to get over the current hurdle in negotiations by getting an extension of the moratorium? And if that is still the plan, what does it say about the prospects for reaching an agreement within 12 or 13 months if the Israelis aren’t willing to make that gesture and you are not willing to – or you’re not able to break the deadlock? Crowley fell back on the Obama administration’s repeated optimism that if we’re able to encourage successfully the parties to remain in the direct negotiations, that gives the process a boost. That demonstrates that both of them are willing to take the difficult political steps and stay committed to the process. So that is our goal.
Journalist Jackson Diehl wrote in the Washington Post Monday,Is it possible that Netanyahu and Abbas can agree on the borders of a Palestinian state in less than 60 days and end the settlement debate? No. But then, what will happen when the next deadline arrives? Discussion will be forced on yet another timetable… Yet in the Obama administration, the timetable is becoming an end in itself. It reflects a president who is fixed on disposing of foreign policy problems -- and not so much on solving them.Other pundits have charged that the president wants a peace act, regardless of whether there is peace.The Netanyahu government is far from optimistic. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman stated last month that it will take decades before the Palestinian Authority can reach a peace agreement with Israel.

Another senior Cabinet member, Minister of Strategic Affairs Moshe Ya'alon of the Likud party, said Tuesday, There is no chance in the coming years for a peace agreement with the Palestinians.In the eyes of the Palestinians, the occupation started in 48 and not in 67. It is not only Hamas that thinks this way, but also [Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas]. They need to be released from this delusion, from not recognizing Israel as the home of the Jewish people. They have no interest in having Israel as a neighboring state.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Deputy PM: Israel officials doubt peace reachable By AMY TEIBEL, Associated Press Writer – Tue Oct 12, 7:04 am ET

JERUSALEM – An Israeli Cabinet minister said Tuesday that top officials doubt a peace deal with the Palestinians can be reached soon even though the prime minister has committed to try to reach an agreement within a year.The Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, which resumed last month after a breakdown of nearly two years, have already run aground over Israel's refusal to renew a moratorium on West Bank settlement construction.I don't know a single minister in the septet who thinks it's possible to reach a deal in the foreseeable future, said Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon.Yaalon was referring to the seven-member decision-making body in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Cabinet.Yaalon, speaking to Army Radio, accused the Palestinians of being intransigent and of carrying out repeated violence and incitement since 1993, when the two sides signed their first, interim peace accord.

He claimed the Palestinians have refused to declare an end to their conflict with Israel, even under a peace deal, suggesting that further demands for territorial concessions could follow.However, an official in the prime minister's office disputed Yaalon's take on the matter, noting that Netanyahu, who leads the septet, had reiterated his goal of reaching peace within one year during a parliamentary speech on Monday.He believes firmly that if both sides show creativity and flexibility and are ready to take tough decisions, then peace is possible. But it has to be a two-way street. It can't just be the Palestinians making demands and Israel making concessions,said the official. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to respond to another minister's public comments.The Palestinians say Israel has not lived up to its commitment under an internationally backed 2003 peace blueprint that, among other things, called for an all-out settlement freeze.A pan-Arab peace initiative offered in 2002, which the Palestinians endorsed, calls for an end to the conflict if Israel withdraws from all territory Israel occupied in the 1967 Mideast war. It must also accept a sovereign Palestinian state within the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, and an agreed solution with the Arab world on the fate of millions of Palestinian refugees scattered throughout the region.Israel opposes a full withdrawal to the pre-1967 war boundaries, though both sides have agreed in principle to a West Bank land swap that would give the Palestinians an equal amount of land to that captured in 1967.

But agreement on future borders seems far away: The Palestinians have refused to resume negotiations with Israel as long as it refuses to curb settlement construction in the West Bank.Netanyahu on Monday offered to renew the moratorium if the Palestinians would recognize Israel as the Jewish homeland. The Palestinians immediately refused, but Netanyahu also signaled he would be willing to renew the curbs if the U.S. offered an attractive incentive.The Palestinians also say acceptance of Israel as a Jewish state would compromise the rights of Israel's 1.5 million Arab citizens and the rights of Palestinian refugees. They say it is sufficient that they recognize Israel's right to exist.

Fed minutes: Easing may be needed before long
- OCT 12,10

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Federal Reserve officials believed in September the struggling recovery might soon need more help, and they discussed several ways to provide support, including the possible adoption of a price-level target.Policy-makers had a sense that (more) accommodation may be appropriate before long, the central bank said on Tuesday.In minutes of the its last policy-setting session held September 21, the Fed said officials discussed several approaches to aiding the economy but focused on buying additional longer-term Treasury securities and ways to nudge the public into expecting higher levels of inflation in the future.On Wall Street, stocks trimmed their losses, with both the Dow Jones industrial average (.DJI) and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (.SPX) briefly turning higher after the FOMC's minutes came out.To help shift inflation expectations, policy-makers debated providing more detailed information about what rates of inflation they would prefer, or the possibility of making clear they would tolerate a higher level of inflation on a temporary basis, a policy approach known as price-level targeting.They also discussed the possibility of targeting a path for GDP growth.The Fed has kept overnight interest rates near zero since December 2008 and has bought about $1.7 trillion in mortgage-linked securities and longer-term government debt to lower other borrowing costs to help the economy recover from the worst recession since the 1930s.

As the recovery showed signs of fading over the summer, sapped by the drying up of government stimulus measures and the shock of a sovereign debt crisis in Europe, Fed officials said they would consider additional stimulus measures to support the sluggish economy.The September meeting's minutes showed a number of Fed officials were close to pulling the trigger.Many members considered the recent and anticipated progress toward meeting the committee's mandate of maximum employment and price stability to be unsatisfactory, the Fed said.Several officials felt that unless conditions improved, they would consider it appropriate to take action soon in hopes of spurring a stronger recovery.(Reporting by Mark Felsenthal and Jason Lange; Editing by Jan Paschal)

In China, German minister warns of global trade war
by Mathilde Richter – Tue Oct 12, 8:15 am ET

BEIJING (AFP) – German Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle cautioned upon arriving in China Tuesday that a global trade war was brewing, amid wide differences between key trading nations on currency policy.The danger of a trade war has appeared on the horizon, Bruederle told reporters travelling with him on his two-day trip to China, which was to take in Beijing and Shanghai.The danger is that complaints about currency undervaluing lead to retaliatory measures, which could eventually turn into a trade war, the minister said, without specifying a particular country.Beijing has come under increasing pressure from its trading partners in the United States and Europe to allow the yuan to appreciate faster. Critics say the unit could be undervalued by as much as 40 percent.The US House of Representatives last month passed a bill that would expand the Commerce Department's powers to slap tariffs on China for currency manipulation, rather than just outright subsidies.The legislation must still go through the Senate and eventually be signed by President Barack Obama to pass into law.Bruederle said while China was unlikely to ever have a completely flexible exchange rate, a bit more flexibility would be desirable.The spectre of a global currency war dominated the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund in Washington over the weekend, but no agreements were reached.We must not allow the situation to get out of hand, or turn our backs on free trade, Bruederle said, adding that he saw himself as an ambassador, perhaps even a missionary, for the fight against protectionism.

Bruederle said his talks with Commerce Minister Chen Deming and Zhang Ping, the head of the country's top economic planning agency, the National Development and Reform Commission, focused on management of liquid assets.China has the world's largest foreign exchange reserves, which surged to a record 2.454 trillion dollars at the end of June, according to the central bank.Trade between China and Germany, the world's top two exporting nations, has grown rapidly -- to 91 billion dollars last year, up from 41 billion dollars in 2001, according to Chinese data.However, in the past few years the trade balance has tipped decisively in China's favour, with Chinese exports to Germany totalling 55 billion dollars last year, while trade in the other direction amounted to 36 billion dollars.Bruederle will stand in for ailing German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble at the upcoming Group of 20 summit in South Korea, where he said he hoped the world's major economies would come up with reasonable solutions.After his visit to China, which will includes a stop at the World Expo in Shanghai on Wednesday, Bruederle will head to Japan.

Belgian firm planning surprise twist in Nabucco story
ANDREW RETTMAN Today OCT 12,10 @ 09:29 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A little-known Belgian businessman says his company is poised to clinch a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) deal with Turkmenistan in November in a potential setback for the EU's Nabucco and Russia's South Stream pipeline projects.Not many people in EU circles have heard of Koen Minne, a softly-spoken 40-year-old Belgian lawyer who is the CEO of the Brussels-based engineering firm Enex and who holds the post of Honorary Consul of Turkmenistan to Belgium and the EU.
Speaking in an interview with EUobserver in Brussels on Monday (11 October), Mr Minne said that Enex and a consortium of unnamed EU energy companies is getting ready to pitch its final offer to Ashgabat next month: I believe that we will have an agreement in November. If everything goes according to schedule, I think we will be ready to have a proposal to take to the Turkmen side.The Enex CEO is in a good position to know Ashgabat's intentions. He speaks regularly on the phone to Turkmenistan's deputy prime minister Yagshigeldy Kakayev and foreign minister Rashid Meredov. This year alone he has had seven face-to-face meetings with President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov. His company has in recent years brokered €430 million of foreign energy investments in the country.The CNG project envisages taking between 3 and 4 billion cubic metres (bcm) a year of Turkmen gas by ship across the Caspian Sea to Azerbaijan and pumping it through the existing Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline to Turkey. It is still unclear who will build the pipeline link from Erzurum to the EU market and whether Turkmenistan will participate in the Enex-led transit consortium or simply sell gas at its border. But Mr Minne plans to make the first shipments in 2013 or 2014.If the CNG link is built Ashgabat is unlikely to go along with EU or Russian plans to build new pipelines to Turkmenistan. It is of course not the intention from the Turkmen side to have Turkmen gas competing with other Turkmen gas ... I don't believe Turkmenistan would sign a policy to feed South Stream or Nabucco,Mr Minne said.His contacts with Moscow indicate that it is happy for him to go ahead despite the implications. I did not receive any sign from the Russian side that they would object to this ... the final conclusion is that this is something that no country should feel threatened by, he said.

Some EU diplomats who think Mr Minne could be a Russian stooge trying to disrupt Nabucco. He denies this. But the much grander EU project has the potential to forge new political ties between Turkmenistan and the West and to accelerate EU integration with the South Caucasus countries in Russia's old sphere of influence.
European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso is planning to travel to the Caspian Sea region in late November or early December to promote Nabucco.EU gas diplomacy has faltered in recent months, however. Turkmenistan declined to come to a minister-level meeting in Brussels on 1 October citing agenda problems and it is fed up with what it sees as EU foot-dragging on the scheme.Turkmenistan is really eager to export gas to Europe and if a pipeline was a realistic option I would give it my full support,Mr Minne said. If they [the EU] are really convinced about this pipeline, I advise them to go in and make a take-or-pay proposal to the Turkmen side. If they would say to Azerbaijan: Give me all the possible permits to construct this pipeline.To Turkmenistan: Give me all the possible permits. Then I take responsibility as Europe to build this pipeline. It will be finished within two years and I already guarantee to take 10 or 20 or 30 bcm on a take-or-pay agreement.' This would show the confidence they have in this project looking ahead to the next 10 or 20 years.A take-or-pay agreement would oblige EU companies to pay for set volumes of gas in future even if EU demand goes down.

Cruel and unusual?

Leading NGOs such as the London-based Global Witness and the New-York-based Open Society Institute continue to describe Turkmenistan as one of the most repressive and corrupt countries in the world, further complicating EU relations on human rights grounds.Mr Berdymukhammedov's predecessor, the late Saparmurat Niyazov, drank two bottles of cognac a day, built a rotating statue of himself in Ashgabat, had one dissident boiled alive and asked a French firm for a $500 million bribe to sign a gas deal.Mr Minne said the country still has a long way to go. But he described the new leader as a very normal man who is focused on getting things done and who has a vision for the gradual technological and political transformation of Turkmen society: I am serious - I am not just saying this for the record. Perhaps in other circumstances, it would be difficult for me to work for him.He described how Enex and its clients such as Honeywell and Schneider Electric do business with Ashgabat to indicate that everything is above board.If I am to deliver a gas compressor worth €50 million I have certificates of origin, certificates of quality, transport documents. I present this set of documents to Deutsche Bank and upon establishing the compliance of the documents with Turkmenistan's letters of credit, Deutsche Bank pays me and this money is transferred to my account to pay for the equipment. Deutsche Bank then gets its money from the Central Bank of Turkmenistan,he said.
Everything comes into the accounts of an EU company bank. You can't divert money from such a company without the auditor seeing this ... Honeywell, Schneider - they are publicly listed, so I don't know how they could go along with anything like that [bribes].

Dogfight over EU budget could end in crisis, says MEP
ANDREW WILLIS Today OCT 12,10 @ 17:41 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - EU institutions have two months to reach an agreement on next year's EU budget if the bloc is to avoid a new crisis, a senior MEP has warned.
Speaking to reporters of Tuesday (12 October), centre-right MEP Alain Lamassoure added that finding a mechanism to enable Brussels to raise its own funding could no longer be ignored.The two issues have become increasingly linked after MEPs in the European Parliament's budgets committee last week proposed a package of amendments to the EU's draft 2011 budget, published by the commission earlier this year. Among the new lines inserted by the euro deputies in the draft document was a demand for member states to open negotiations on new own resources, adding that this element is a full part of the overall agreement on the 2011 budget.With several member states directly opposed to the idea of a self-funding EU, the battle looks set to escalate next week when negotiators from the two sides meet.I am hopeful that that each institution will have the heart to reach a consensual agreement. If not we will be in crisis,said Mr Lamassoure, a former French minister for European affairs and current chair the European Parliament's budgets committee.EU financing arguments have precipitated major European crises in the past, including the 1965 'empty chair' policy adopted by French President Charles de Gaulle in response to a commission proposal to raise its own resources to pay for the common agricultural policy.This time round, Mr Lamassoure and other MEPs are seeking to frame the issue of own resources as way to reduce national contributions to the EU budget at a time of European austerity.As both governments and national parliaments would have to approve any change is this direction, Mr Lamassoure says he is open to any revenue-raising ideas that could garner the support of this double unanimity.

If our citizens are furious against the banks which led us into the current crisis, and they find it acceptable to make them pay, either by a direct tax or one of profits - moi je dis bravo, he added.Some form of financial tax is expected to be among the list of potential funding mechanisms proposed by the commission next Tuesday in its budget review of the current spending period (2007-13).The following day MEPs will discuss the issue during a plenary session in Strasbourg and vote on the budget committee's list of amendments to the draft 2011 budget. A conciliation committee with representatives from parliament and member states will then have 21 days to agree on a joint text regarding the 2011 spending blueprint.We are not closed to the reflection on own resources but it is clear that we can't have additional income for the EU, it must replace existing sources,a French diplomat told this website. The second issue is that we can't increase the fiscal pressure on our citizens,they added.One thing is clear however, says Mr Lamassoure. It must not be called a European tax. Once you mix the words Europe and tax in the same sentence it becomes explosive.Adding to the volatile nature of the upcoming talks are MEP demands to see the commission's €130 billion budget proposal increased in size, while member states have already indicated they want this figure for next year's EU spending to be reduced by €3.6 billion.

EU to call for paradigm shift on energy
ANDREW WILLIS Today OCT 12,10 @ 09:30 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Europe's creaking energy infrastructure must be massively overhauled if the bloc is to meet its energy needs in the year 2020 and beyond, a report by the European Commission is set to say. Outdated and hugely fragmented, the EU's energy grid should be replaced by a Single European Energy Network, says a draft copy of the commission's communication on Energy Infrastructure Priorities seen by EUobserver.European energy infrastructure is aging and at the same time facing new challenges in terms of security of supply, market integration and the need to up-take an ever increasing share of electricity from low carbon energy sources,says the document, due to be published next month.Energy demand and import dependence on fossil fuels will continue to grow over the coming years, making Europe's energy equation even more difficult,it continues.Investments to ensure Europe meets its growing energy and climate change needs - including new infrastructure for electricity, gas, oil and carbon capture and storage (CCS) - could amount to as much as €1 trillion.Full integration of the Baltic States into the EU energy market, together with the integration of offshore wind and ocean energy production capacities in the North Seas, are among the identified tasks to be carried out.Likewise, the diversification of Europe's gas supply through new supply routes - including a Southern Corridor - is also highlighted as a top priority, as is the integration of solar photovoltaic and thermodynamic energy production in southern Europe and Mediterranean neighbour countries with central Europe.

However, not all of the necessary investments will be taken up by the market, in particular not as rapidly as is needed to achieve the EU's energy and climate goals set for 2020,warns the document, citing the need for co-ordinated pubic intervention.The EU should be equipped to be able to effectively – and not only in words – back certain projects by guaranteeing their feasibility... To implement the priority projects identified in this communication, public support of up to [15 bn euro] is needed,says the draft.Once agreement is reached on roughly seven projects of European interest, the communication suggests the commission would then come forward with legislative proposals to prevent delays occurring at the local level.

Construction of energy infrastructure – both for generation and transmission – is becoming increasingly difficult as it conflicts with other public policy objectives such as protection of landscapes and/or the environment, spatial planning, public health and safety, tourism and other forms of local economic development,says the document.To prevent this, priority projects should come under new rules - easing their passage to completion.The European priority projects should benefit from preferential treatment in order to ensure their timely implementation, either by applying the fastest possible procedure at national level or by defining a new harmonised procedure,says the draft text.The preferred option would be a declaration of European interest regime that would trigger simplified procedures, reduced numbers of competent authorities in charge of approving permit applications at local, regional and national level and maximum timeframes for each step in the procedure,it continues, a move that could potentially anger environmental groups amongst others.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Rocks at MKs Who Toured City of David
by Gil Ronen OCT 12,10

Arabs hurled rocks Tuesday at a vehicle carrying six Knesset Members on a tour of the City of David area late Tuesday morning. No one was hurt, but the vehicle sustained damage.The MKs, members of the Knesset State Control committee, had come to the ancient neighborhood see for themselves the site of recent Arab violence. Among the MKs who were in the targeted the vehicle were Yoel Hasson (Kadima), Yariv Levin (Likud) and Aryeh Eldad (National Union).The legislators met at the disputed Beit Yehonatan house in the Silwan area, and their car was attacked as they were leaving the neighborhood before police escorted them out of danger. The identity of the attackers is not yet known and police are still looking for them.Arab residents of the City of David and Shiloach have been attacking Jews on a nearly daily basis recently and receive cooperation from leftist activists and journalists.Also touring the City of David was Public Security Minister Yitzchak Aharonovitch, who said,We will stop the stone-throwing with covert and overt forces, and we will bring back the quiet,even if it means arresting children and their parents.

Brit Paper Makes Israel Look Bad for Easing Gaza Closure
by Gil Ronen OCT 12,10

The British newspaper Independent has found a way to make Israel look bad for easing its blockade on Gaza. In its Sunday edition, the newspaper features the story of a Gaza garment manufacturer, Hasan Abu Dan, who suffered from the closure imposed on Gaza – but says he is now even worse off with the closure partially lifted.Israel eased the blockade after the intense world pressure that followed the killing of nine terrorists on board the Gaza-bound ship Mavi Marmara on May 31. Ironically, the Independent was among the news outlets that pressured Israel to ease the closure at that time.Abu Dan's firm used to export 90 percent of its finished goods to the Israeli clothing market. This ended in 2007, when Hamas took over control of Gaza after a bloody struggle with Fatah, its rival terror group. Israel closed the main cargo crossing, Karni, and Abu Dan could no longer import raw materials through it, or export finished clothes to Israel.In June 2010, in the aftermath of the Mavi Marmara raid, Israel agreed to allow imports to Gaza of most goods except those deemed security risks.Following this easing, the increased imports to Gaza were still less than 40 percent of pre-closure levels, the Independent explained, but previously banned consumer goods now flowed into Gaza. Moreover, some unbanned raw materials including cloth for the imploded garment industry slowly began to move into the Strip, allowing some production to restart – albeit at a fraction of pre-2007 levels.

Yet for the large manufacturers like Abu Dan, the easing of the embargo had a perverse effect,the report says. With the ban on exports still in force, the family was now hard pressed even to sell to the local market, because of its flooding by cheap clothing, often Chinese-made, coming through Israel.They talk about easing the embargo, but that means allowing in finished goods which we cannot compete with. Believe me, things are worse for us now than before it happened,Abu Dan told the newspaper.Amr Hamad, Gaza director of the Palestinian Federation of Industries, told the newspaper that while sectors like plastics have seen a marked improvement, the net effect of the easing of the blockade has been neutral for industry. He explained: We are a small piece of one economic entity, one that has always planned on working with a stronger economy, that of Israel.The article winds up with quotes from a radical leftist Israeli group, Gisha, which accuses Israel's government of having devised a policy of economic warfare,and from Abu Dan, who says that Israel wants to destroy the infrastructure of Gaza's economy.Interestingly, it was the Independent itself, on June 6, that ran a leading editorial calling on Israel to lift its closure of Gaza.The idea that a people will respond constructively to ever harsher treatment is not supported by many historical examples,it wrote, and the only hope in the Middle East is that Israelis can be brought to see that the blockade is isolating the people of Gaza and helping the extremists.The latest turn for the worse for Gaza residents is one of a long string of events since the first Intifada in the 1980s, which resulted in a strong and growing economy sinking into depression as Jewish employers could no longer employ Arabs because of constant terrorist attacks. Jews also were frightened away from shopping in Gaza markets.

After the Israeli government expelled 9,000 Jews from the Gaza region in 2005, more Gaza workers were thrown out of work. Israel and numerous other countries invested in infrastructures that were to turn Gaza into the Singapore of the Middle East, but the Arabs chose another course. The barbaric terror onslaught known as the Oslo War, also known as the Second Intifada, left thousands of Gaza construction workers without work in Israel.The Hamas overthrow of the Fatah government nearly four years ago tightened the terrorist organization's grip on the local economy as Israel clamped down on the flow of goods to prevent the smuggling of advanced weapons into Gaza. Countless times, Israel tried to reopen the crossings into Gaza despite horrific terror attacks, but Hamas and other groups prevented this by bombing the crossings.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Hurricane Paula bears down on Mexico, CentrAm coasts
– Tue Oct 12, 9:12 am ET

MIAMI (AFP) – Hurricane Paula bore down Tuesday on the Gulf Coast of Mexico and Central America, a flood-hit region already saturated by torrential rains during an unusually active storm season.At 8:00 am (1200 GMT) the category one hurricane was located 190 miles (310 kilometers) southeast of Cozumel, Mexico, with maximum sustained winds of 75 miles (120 kilometers) per hour, according to the Miami-based National Hurricane Center.The NHC said Paula was moving northwest toward Mexico's Yucatan peninsula at 10 miles (17 km) per hour, and was expected to strengthen slightly over the next day or two.A hurricane warning was in effect from Punta Gruesa to northernmost Cabo Catoche, near the tourist haven of Cancun. A tropical storm warning, meanwhile, was issued by Honduras from Limon to the Nicaraguan border.

Paula raised the troubling prospect of renewed flooding in already waterlogged Central America and Mexico, after weeks of devastation from recent heavy rains that sparked deadly mudslides.The hurricane was expected to dump another three to six inches (7.5 to 15 centimeters) of rain on parts of Nicaragua and Honduras and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.Isolated maximum amounts of 10 inches (25 centimeters) are possible. In areas of mountainous terrain these rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides,the hurricane center said in a bulletin.
Flooding and landslides have killed more than 300 people in Central America, left tens of thousands homeless and caused billions of dollars in damage in recent months.
Mexico has also been hit hard by a series of storms in an unusually active hurricane season.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) earlier this year predicted an especially stormy 2010, with 14 to 23 named storms for this season, including eight to 14 hurricanes.Paula makes the ninth hurricane so far this year.

Hurricane Paula strengthens off Yucatan
- OCT 12,10

MIAMI – Hurricane Paula has strengthened into a Category 2 storm with top sustained winds of 100 miles per hour (160 kph) off the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Tuesday that Paula was moving north-northwest at near 10 mph (17 kph).The storm was about 140 miles (220 km) south-southeast of Cozumel, Mexico, and its center was forecast to approach the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula Tuesday night and Wednesday.Honduran emergency officials have been urging coastal residents to evacuate low-lying areas and Mexico issued a hurricane warning as strong winds and rain battered the Caribbean coast.

China tries to calm nerves over Asia sea activity By ANNE GEARAN, AP National Security Writer – Tue Oct 12, 11:15 am ET

HANOI, Vietnam – China worked to calm nerves Tuesday among Asian neighbors jittery over its recent attempts to assert greater control over disputed waters, while its rival Washington stressed its national interest in keeping those seas free for commerce.U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the U.S. has a stake in the growing number of disputes about ownership of Asian island chains and ship routes through waters China claims.We have a national interest in freedom of navigation, in unimpeded economic development and commerce and in respect for international law, Gates told a regional security forum of defense ministers in the Vietnamese capital.

The message was strong and the audience unmistakable, but Gates avoided a direct confrontation with China. He never mentioned the country by name during a brief address to the group of security ministers, which included a top Chinese general.
Several Asian countries have expressed concern over increasingly aggressive maritime moves by the Communist giant, including its response to a ship collision last month off disputed islands in the East China Sea that plunged relations between China and Japan to a five-year low. Relations have since improved, but both countries continue to claim sovereignty over the territory, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.China tried to ease tensions Tuesday by reassuring its neighbors that it wants to work together.China pursues a defense policy that is defensive in nature. China's defense development is not aimed to challenge or threaten anyone, but to ensure its security and promote international and regional peace and stability, Chinese Gen. Liang Guanglie said in a speech to his counterparts. Security of a country relies not only on self-defense capabilities, but also on mutual trust with others.Defense ministers from the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations, along with their counterparts from the United States, China, Russia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, India and South Korea attended the meeting Tuesday in Vietnam's capital.

China considers the U.S. position on maritime navigation and security to be outside meddling in Asian affairs. Beijing was irate when U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton used similar language in July.The United States has always exercised our rights and supported the rights of others to transit through, and operate in, international waters, Gates said. This will not change, nor will our commitment to engage in activities and exercises together with our allies and partners.Gates was referring, in part, to China's claim to control water far off its coastline that the United States considers open water under international law. He also was reaffirming U.S. support for Southeast Asian nations that feel threatened by China and want U.S. backing even as they try to maintain cordial relations with their much larger Asian neighbor.Among the disputed island chains are the Spratly and Paracel island chains in the South China Sea — claimed by China and several of its Southeast Asian neighbors, including Vietnam — and the East China Sea islands that both Tokyo and Beijing claim.The United States is worried that territorial disputes over islands in the South China Sea could imperil strategic international shipping lanes, and analysts have warned that China's newly aggressive moves to claim the areas could ignite a shooting war.Gates' goal in Vietnam was twofold: to make the point about the limits of Chinese control and to patch up damaged U.S. military ties with that country.The event takes place in the backdrop of a regional and international situation which has seen rapid and complicated developments, Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said. We are often faced with grave security challenges, both traditional and nontraditional.A day earlier, Liang met with Gates, ending a freeze on military contacts meant to protest a $6.4 billion U.S. arms package for Taiwan, the self-governing island that China claims as its own territory.After the meeting, Gates said he accepted a formal invitation to visit Beijing, which will likely occur early next year.Associated Press writers Tran Van Minh and Margie Mason contributed to this report.

TEHRAN (AFP) – Iran on Tuesday blamed European Union Foreign Affairs chief Catherine Ashton for the deadlock over nuclear talks with world powers, urging her to be more active in pursuing the dialogue.Basically, it seems that the volume of Ms. Ashton's activity is lower, foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters, targeting Ashton for the stalemate in talks over Tehran's controversial nuclear programme.Ashton represents the six world powers -- the United States, Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany -- in negotiations with Iran.Dialogue between Iran and the six powers has been stalled since October 2009, when the two groups last met in Geneva.The negotiations aim to address international suspicions that Iran is seeking to develop atomic weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear programme, a charge Tehran vehemently denies.On Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Tehran considered late October or early November as an appropriate time for a resumption of the talks but a spokesman for Ashton said no date had been set.

Mrs. Ashton is still ready to talk to Iran and is hopeful that this will be possible,spokesman Darren Ennis told AFP in response to Mottaki's remarks.Mehmanparast directly blamed Ashton for the stalemate.If she is really eager for negotiations, she should be more active, he insisted, adding that her predecessor Javier Solana was more active.We have announced our readiness for negotiations. But the other side ... is not really following up, or is not serious about resuming the dialogue, he said.Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had declared a unilateral ban on talks until the middle of September after the Islamic republic was hit with new sanctions by UN Security Council on June 9.Iranian officials have regularly insisted that during any talks Tehran will reiterate that its nuclear rights be recognised.

Australia PM backs controversial Web filter
– Tue Oct 12, 3:36 am ET

SYDNEY (AFP) – Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard Tuesday renewed her backing for a controversial Internet filter, saying it was driven by a moral question.The proposed filter will block access to material such as rape, drug use, bestiality and child sex abuse, and will be administered by Internet Service Provider companies.
However, web giants like Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft have slammed the initiative as setting a precedent for censorship, while cyber-activists have hit government websites with a targeted hacking campaign.My fundamental outlook is this: it is unlawful for me as an adult to go to a cinema and watch certain sorts of content, it's unlawful and we believe it to be wrong, Gillard said in a press club address.

If we accept that then it seems to me that the moral question is not changed by the medium that the images come through.The plan, which has also drawn concern from the US State Department, was put on hold pending a content review in July as national elections loomed.Angry user groups have launched an online campaign accusing the government of censorship, likening the proposed system to firewalls operating in China and Iran.Concerns have also been raised about the filter's impact on Internet speeds and the methods through which restricted content would be determined.Gillard said how to set up the filter is more complicated, but the underpinning moral question is, I think, exactly the same.A review of what material should be excluded by the filter is expected to take at least 12 months.

Government Prepares To Seize Private Pensions
Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com October 12, 2010

The government is preparing to seize the private 401(k) pensions of millions of Americans while enforcing an additional 5 per cent payroll tax as part of a new bailout program that will empower the Social Security Administration to redistribute pension funds in a frightening example of big government gone wild.Public pension plans have been so aggressively looted already by the government that cities and counties face a $574 billion funding gap, according to a CNBC report.That black hole is set to be filled by a new proposal that will fairly distribute taxpayer-funded pensions to everyone, by confiscating the private wealth of millions of Americans. Its proponents express staggering arrogance in thinking that they can just steal money people have worked for decades to accrue as if it’s their own.Not only would the government confiscate 401(k) pensions, it would also impose a mandatory 5 per cent payroll tax payable by everyone, according to a hearing chaired last week by Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), Chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee.This would, of course, be a sister government ponzi scheme working in tandem with Social Security, the primary purpose being to give big government politicians additional taxpayer funds to raid to pay for their out-of-control spending, writes Connie Hair.

The hearing was a platform for advocates of Guaranteed Retirement Accounts (GRAs), a program authored by Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economic policy analysis at the New School for Social Research in New York. Back in November 2008, Ghilarducci testified to Congress that 401(k)s and IRAs should be confiscated and converted into universal Guaranteed Retirement Accounts (GRAs) managed by the Social Security Administration.You don’t hold hearings on something you don’t intend to do, points out the Market Ticker blog. I hate it when I’m right. I hate it even more when tens of millions of Americans are going to get reamed to pay for the crimes of the handful on Wall Street, and their crony enablers in Washington DC.The GRAs would be enforced by means of a mandatory savings tax equating to 5 per cent of an individual’s annual paycheck deposited to the GRA. Social Security and Medicare taxes would still be payable, employers would no longer would be able to write off their contributions and capital gains would be taxable year-on-year. In addition, workers could bequeath only half of their account balances to their heirs, unlike full balances from existing 401(k) and IRA accounts.During a Seattle radio interview in October 2008, Ghilarducci explained the motive behind the plan, stating, I’m just rearranging the tax breaks that are available now for 401(k)s and spreading – spreading the wealth (emphasis mine).However, as we painfully learned in the immediate aftermath of the original $700 million dollar bailout, which was originally sold on the basis that it would be used to pay off bad debt, governments that propose spreading the wealth under socialist-style financial reforms almost always collect the wealth under the pretext of being the saviors before greedily hoarding it all for themselves.

The GRA program is being pushed by the Economic Policy Institute, an organization housed on the third floor of the building occupied by the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress. The Center for American Progress is a think tank headed by Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff John D. Podesta, who was also head of Barack Obama’s presidential transition team after the 2008 election.In preparing to seize private pensions, the United States is going the same way as Argentinean government, which in 2008 nationalized the country’s private pension plans, known as AFJPs, confiscating the wealth of millions.We have no doubt that here the right to private property is being violated. Not just for us but for society and the world, this is a clear confiscation,said opposition Radical Party’s Ernesto Sanz at the time.How will Americans react to having not only their wealth but their nest egg for future generations brazenly confiscated by the government in one fell swoop? If this doesn’t prompt widespread rioting and civil disobedience in America on behalf of the besieged middle class then nothing will.Don’t be under any illusions, if you don’t have a private pension and think this won’t affect you – think again. Once the pretext has been created that the state can simply confiscate privately earned wealth, they can then come after anything, your gold, your home, your kids and eventually your very freedom. Once the vampire of big government gets a taste for blood, the teeth will only sink in further, and America’s resemblance to third world tyrannies will rapidly accelerate.

French Workers Threaten General Strike in Response to Austerity
Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com October 12, 2010

In France, workers and students may soon revisit May, 1968. French president Nicolas Sarkozy and the French unions are locking horns over pension reforms. Workers and students are expected to take to the streets in an escalation of industrial action against government plans to raise the official retirement age to 62, with walkouts bringing disruption to France’s transport network, schools and oil refineries, the Guardian reported on Monday. The announcement that secondary school and college pupils will join the demonstrations against Sarkozy, whose popularity is at a record low, raises the specter of May 1968, when a series of student strikes led to rioting and nearly brought down the government.A demo held at the Paris Bastille on October 2. Can you imagine Americans holding such demonstrations in reaction to the bankster financial crisis? Not only did the general strike of 1968 nearly bring down the government, it almost brought the French economy to a virtual standstill. Groups involved in the strike were generally Luddite in character — they rejected the technocratic state and consumerism — and embraced a leftist ideology that made the French Communist Party look like part of the establishment. Eleven million French workers, roughly two-thirds of the nation’s workforce, went out on strike and forced president de Gaulle to dissolve the National Assembly and take temporary refuge at an air force base in Germany.The national strike was betrayed by Confédération Générale du Travail (the General Confederation of Labor), one of five major French confederations of trade unions. During elections in June of 1968, the Gaullist party emerged even stronger than before the strike.More than 40 years ago, French students revolted against capitalism. They were betrayed by socialist trade unions controlled by the French establishment. The events of May, 1968, were a response to conflicts between students and authorities at the University of Paris at Nanterre. It was not a reaction to economic conditions like the strike that threatens to paralyze France once again.

The French government wants to raise the retirement age to 62 and impose other measures unacceptable to labor unions and students. Sarkozy’s office says he will not back down on measures he believes will help his re-election for a second term in 2012, according to the Guardian. In Le Parisien newspaper the former Socialist prime minister Michel Rocard said there is a danger to the country and Jean-Claude Mailly of the Force Ouvrière (Workers’ Force) union told French radio only a large demonstration will force Sarkozy and the government to back down.Granted, the French socialists and trade unions primarily want to preserve the bankrupt wealth redistribution system in their country and do not oppose the financial system responsible for the coming austerity measures.The engineered bankster financial meltdown has forced governments across Europe to ready austerity measures.In Ireland, a proposed austerity package includes public-sector pay cuts of up to 20%, plus reductions in child benefit, tax rises, and nurses, teachers, and police officers being laid off.Portugal’s sovereign-debt risk has resulted in the country taking money from the EU’s €750bn (£640bn) fund for stabilizing euro.Spain has slashed €15bn from spending this year and next to reduce deficit by more than 4% of GDP, resulting in cuts to civil service pay, pensions, investment and child benefits.

In June, strikes hit Germany over budget cuts.Eastern Europe is a basket case. Hungary relies on the globalist loan sharks (the IMF and World Bank) while things in Latvia are so dire the government has shut down hospitals and schools as a condition of the effort to service its debt, in other words dance to the tune of the globalist bankers.Latvia is the textbook example of the damage banksters are capable of inflicting. In the period of two years, the country went dramatically from boom to bust, from the highest growth rates in the EU to the deepest recession. Not to worry, though. Latvians of hardy stock according to the Guardian: With memories of Soviet living standards still fresh, however, the public is resilient and Latvia is weathering a crisis on a scale that would have triggered mayhem in western Europe.
Earlier this month, talk of austerity resulted in a fresh wave of protests from Greece to Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Romania. Greek public sector workers walked out of their jobs protesting against EU and IMF prescribed austerity measures. Civil servants in Greece were the target of the latest demands by the international banksters. The austerity measures have hit civil servants particularly hard, with wages cut by an average of 15 per cent, in addition to tax hikes and a pension freeze agreed to help restore the country’s finances in return for a 110 billion euro ($154bn) EU/IMF bailout,Al Jazeera reported.Bankster imposed austerity measures will come soon to America. Americans are not taking to the streets only because nobody has told us that is what is being planned,Ellen Brown wrote in March of this year. The American people, who are already suffering massive unemployment and cutbacks in government services, will have to sacrifice more and pay the piper more, just as in those debt-strapped countries forced into austerity measures by the IMF.

Brown correctly identifies the culprits behind the plan to destroy the middle class and reduce America to yet another third world hell-hole — the international bankers. She quotes Carroll Quigley, Bill Clinton’s mentor at Georgetown University:[T]he powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences.RT reports on the differences between American and European workers and their response to the bankster engineered economic implosion (see video below). America’s leftist labor union movement was long ago decimated and American jobs exported to slave labor gulags in Mexico and then to China.RT notes the movement in the United States away from socialist solutions to a reawakening of patriot ideals and the demand for a return to constitutional government. Part of this struggle is the effort to dismantle the Federal Reserve and throw out the international bankers. The Europeans now going out in the street want more government, not less, and this will ultimately result in re-run of the economic catastrophe now underway.Permit me to issue and control the money of the nation and I care not who makes its laws, said the prominent European banker Mayer Amsched Rothchild in the eighteenth century. If the banksters continue to influence and control government, the game will inch forward until they realize their world government controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world.
