TSA NEEDS A FALSE FLAG ATTACK

Electromagnetic Radiation in Our Society is Killing Plants and Trees
PreventDisease November 23, 2010


City plants and trees are becoming sick from wireless radiation from local area networks and mobile phones, according to a European study.All deciduous trees in the Western world are affected, according to the study by Wageningen University. Radiation from Wi-Fi networks is harmful to trees, causing significant variations in growth, as well as bleeding and fissures in the bark, according to a recent study in the Netherlands.All deciduous trees in the Western world are affected, according to the study by Wageningen University. The city of Alphen aan den Rijn ordered the study five years ago after officials found unexplained abnormalities on trees that couldn’t be ascribed to a virus or bacterial infection.An early warning radar station was due to be decommissioned at Skrunda, Latvia after the end of the Cold War. Before it was shut down, a coordinated effort was made to determine whether the station had had any environmental effects. Teams of researchers found such effects wherever they looked, even at extremely low levels of exposure: smaller growth rings in trees, premature ageing in pine needles, chromosome damage in cows, decreased memory, attention, learning, and pulmonary function in school children, increased white blood cells in adults, and an altered sex ratio (more girls) in children born during the years of the radar’s operation.

This experiment with Aspen seedlings in Colorado pinpoints why the trees in the region have been showing steady death and decline since 2004.They put these seedlings inside a Faraday Cage – to shield them from RF radiation and they looked like healthy, well-formed leaves, with plenty of leaves per branch.The seedlings that were not shielded from the radiation were damaged and stunted.K. Haggerty stated that Currently a strong human-generated RF background exists at every point on the earth’s surface, although radio field strength is relatively greater in the most populous and urbanized areas. Globally, the highest field strengths occur in central Europe, the eastern United States, and in China (Figure 9). Forest decline was first recognized and defined based on observed events in central Europe and the eastern US, and China, at this time, is experiencing rapid desertification. [...] More recently, it has been shown that mortality rates of all dominant tree species in the western United States have been doubling every 17–29 years in old growth forests, and that recruitment of new trees is now occurring at a lower rate than mortality [35]. Since aspen decline and other tree decline incidents worldwide have similar symptoms, and since no definitive explanation has been found for those events, it seems plausible that their decline may be related to RF exposure.

Additional testing found the disease to occur throughout the Western world. In the Netherlands, about 70 percent of all trees in urban areas show the same symptoms, compared with only 10 percent five years ago. Trees in densely forested areas are hardly affected.Besides the electromagnetic fields created by mobile-phone networks and wireless LANs, ultrafine particles emitted by cars and trucks may also be to blame. These particles are so small they are able to enter the organisms.The study exposed 20 ash trees to various radiation sources for a period of three months. Trees placed closest to the Wi-Fi radio demonstrated a lead-like shine on their leaves that was caused by the dying of the upper and lower epidermis of the leaves. This would eventually result in the death of parts of the leaves. The study also found that Wi-Fi radiation could inhibit the growth of corn cobs.The researchers urged that further studies were needed to confirm the current results and determine long-term effects of wireless radiation on trees.

IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn urges leaders to cede more sovereignty to EU
NOV 19,10


European nations need to cede more of their sovereignty and hand greater powers to the centre to avoid future crises, the head of the International Monetary Fund has said.The European Central Bank in Frankfurt Photo: AP By Philip Aldrick, Economics Editor 2:16PM GMT 19 Nov 2010 .In what are likely to prove controversial proposals, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the IMF managing director, called on the European Union to move responsibility for fiscal discipline and structural reform to a central body that is free from the influences of member states. In a speech in Frankfurt addressing the sovereign debt crisis engulfing Europe once again, he said: The wheels of co-operation move too slowly. The centre must seize the initiative in all areas key to reaching the common destiny of the union, especially in financial, economic and social policy. Countries must be willing to cede more authority to the centre.Europe is plagued by crisis because member states put too much faith in banks and let their public finances run out of control. Greece has already been bailed out and Ireland is expected to agree a €100bn (£85bn) rescue within days. Portugal is also at risk.Mr Strauss-Kahn did not name any individual eurozone members, but warned: The sovereign crisis is not over.Reform is vital but, he said: The area’s institutions were simply not up to the task of managing a crisis – even setting up a temporary solution proved to be a drawn-out process.

One [solution] is to shift the main responsibility for enforcement of fiscal discipline and key structural reforms away from the Council. This would minimize the risk of narrow national interests interfering with effective implementation of the common rules.Handing greater powers to the centre would lead to a greater loss of sovereignty for each of the eurozone’s member states. Monetary policy is already under the control of the European Central Bank, with national governments holding on to fiscal authority. In proposals that are likely to play into the hands of eurosceptics in the UK and elsewher, Mr Strauss-Kahn recommended more tax harmonisation and a larger central budget. Reiterating a now common theme, he added that the euro area needs to rebalance – with Germany reducing its dependence on exports and other nations shrinking current account deficits.To manage and monitor the changes, he argued for a larger central budget – funded by more transparent EU-wide instruments—such as a European VAT, or carbon taxation and pricing. Alongside tighter fiscal controls, he said labour market reforms in the euro area need to be centralised. The euro area cannot achieve its true potential with a bewildering patchwork of segmented labour markets, he said.These barriers exacerbate the diverging economic fortunes that threaten the euro area today. It is time to create a level playing field for European workers, especially in the area of labour taxation, social benefits systems and portability, and employment protection legislation.He added: The only answer is more cooperation, and greater integration.

irishtimes.com - Last Updated: Tuesday, November 23, 2010, 11:11Imperative budget is passed for EU/IMF deal - Dempsey

The EU-IMF rescue deal for Ireland hinges on the publication of the four-year plan and the passing of the budget on December 7th, Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey said today.We don't have the luxury of time in relation to this. We asked for assistance, we were given that assistance on the basis that we were going to produce this four year plan, that we were going to produce a budget, and that that budget would pass, Mr Dempsey said.If we can't do that, then the assistance isn't there.EU economic and monetary affairs commissioner Olli Rehn said today it was essential that Ireland passes the 2011 budget sooner rather than later. Let's get it out of the way and move on,he said in Strasbourg, where he is meeting Irish MEPs.Late last night, Taoiseach Brian Cowen phoned Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny and Labour Party leader Eamon Gilmore to offer to make available to them the financial advice underpinning the Government’s proposed budget.Mr Kenny and Mr Gilmore yesterday called for an immediate election before the budget, as did Sinn Féin.While the Taoiseach made no direct request to Mr Kenny or Mr Gilmore to help him get the budget through the Dáil on December 7th, his phone calls to them signalled the first move in a strategy to persuade the Opposition to let the budget pass.

It is understood, however, that both Mr Kenny and Mr Gilmore told the Fianna Fáil leader they wanted to see an immediate dissolution of the Dáil with an election before rather than after the budget. Both will consult senior party colleagues today about Mr Cowen’s offer.This morning, Mr Dempsey said the purpose of the contacts was to inform the Opposition leaders and allow them the opportunity to see the books.
Given the time-scale involved, it would not be possible to have a general election prior to the budget, he said.The proper thing for the Opposition to do is put the country first, put aside politics as usual and get on with this business, he told RTÉ's Morning Ireland.Fine Gael health spokesman James Reilly said his party could not give a guarantee on passing the budget until they had seen it.When we see the budget if the budget meets with all the requirements that we have that's a different matter,he said.Dr Reilly said he would not buy into a budget he said was from a government that has lied to the Dáil, lied to the people and doesn't tell each other what's going on, I'm certainly not buying into that.Mr Cowen announced last night there will be a general election early in the New Year once the budget has been enacted. The Taoiseach’s decision to dissolve the Dáil in the new year came in response to an announcement by Green Party leader John Gormley in the morning that his party wanted an election in the second half of January.This morning, Minister for Tourism Mary Hanafin said she was very annoyed by the Green Party’s surprise decision to call for a general election next month.I am not sure that they have shown that they have the best interests of the country at heart but we are just going to have to work with them over the next few months, she said before attending a tourism conference in Dublin. This is bigger than the Green Party and bigger than Fianna Fáil.Meanwhile, a number of Fianna Fáil TDs who believe it is time for the Taoiseach to step down are due to meet today to discuss a strategy in relation to a motion of no confidence.

Yesterday, Independent TD for North Tipperary Michael Lowry called on the Taoiseach to dissolve the Dáil immediately, while a number of Fianna Fáil backbenchers publicly called on him to resign. Chris Andrews from Dublin South East, Noel O’Flynn from Cork North Central and Seán Power from Kildare South said it was time for the Taoiseach to step down.Carlow Kilkenny TD John McGuinness said last night a number of TDs would meet, separately from a meeting of the parliamentary party also due to take place today. There’s serious discontent within the parliamentary party. I believe it’s now up to those who’ve spoken out to take soundings amongst their colleagues to take action to remove that man [Mr Cowen] immediately, Mr McGuinness said.If a strategy was agreed, it would take a week for a motion to be heard.However, Mr Dempsey said the Taoiseach will lead the party into the next election. Brian Cowen has my full support now and into the next election,he added.

The Irish Times - Tuesday, November 23, 2010EU-IMF arrival to save banks moved Greens to decisionHARRY McGEE

ANALYSIS: Party plan to leave Government took root on Saturday and was played out yesterday.YESTERDAY MORNING’S dramatic announcement by party leader John Gormley that the Greens would leave Government by the end of January was the culmination of a process that began towards the end of last week, but took root on Saturday.The trigger for the decision to pull the plug on the three-year Coalition came in the middle of last week when it was announced that the EU and the IMF would be intervening to save the Irish banks from certain collapse.The development of the commission, ECB and IMF involvement changed the whole political sense and public sense, said Green Minister Eamon Ryan last night.A number of the party’s TDs and Senators, most notably Paul Gogarty and Niall Ó Brolcháin, had been vocal in recent weeks about the need for the Greens to reassert its identity as a party and to distinguish itself from Fianna Fáil.But senior members insisted last night the party was not looking for an opportune time to execute a pre-cooked exit strategy. Rather, they argued, the news that outside agencies were coming in was a genuine game- changer. Of course, Ryan accepted last night the absence of a proper communications strategy by Government Ministers last week did not help.

According to party strategists, the decision to leave Government after the budget and the four-year plan were implemented crystallised over the the weekend. The parliamentary party held a meeting on Saturday at which the view was canvassed.
Further discussions involving the parliamentary party took place late on Sunday night after the Cabinet meeting. The final decision was taken early yesterday morning, resulting in the press conference at 11.30am.To say that the news came as a bolt out of the blue for Fianna Fáil is a severe understatement. John Gormley decided to inform Taoiseach Brian Cowen shortly after 11am but found he could not get through, as Cowen was in a long interview with a local radio station in Tullamore. He got through at 11.30am, just as the press conference was due to start.

Brian Lenihan was also unaware of it when doorstepped by reporters as he left an engagement. It was evident from his comments that he refused to believe that it was happening.Cowen, asked later if he felt a sense of betrayal at the bombshell, said the word was not in his lexicon. However, a number of senior Fianna Fáil figures were furious at the Greens for moving so precipitously. They pointed out that the junior party more or less knew they were pulling out all weekend but had said nothing. What’s more, they had argued the toss on the four-year plan, thus contributing to the delay of its publication by a day.Last night Ryan justified the stance on the basis that the party had to arrive independently at its own strategy, that with the arrival of the IMF and EU, it was important that it set out its own views.

Beck: Obama Will Blame Terror Attack On TSA Resistance
Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com November 22, 2010


In little noticed comments made during an appearance on Judge Andrew Napolitano’s show on Fox News, Glenn Beck warned that the Obama administration wouldn’t hesitate to exploit a terror attack targeting airliners to blame the event on people protesting naked body scanners and TSA groping in airports.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j49_UAxtolc&feature=player_embedded

The Fox News host said that the government was deliberately provoking the American people to rise up so they could squelch the growing resistance with an iron fist, noting that Obama has failed to give a single speech addressing the TSA revolt even amidst the biggest holiday travel period of the year.Let’s get people to rise up and say no scanners….something happens, the President then has the ability to finally give a speech on airport security and say I was trying to protect you and these people stood up against these scanners, and these people died because of it….you have to stop listening, I’ll protect you,said Beck, implying that the Obama administration would exploit a terror attack to blame it on those protesting against scanners and TSA groping in airports.Beck added that people in the Obama administration were probably having casual conversations surrounding the potential of a terror attack targeting airline travel along the lines of, Gee, it wouldn’t be so bad, would it? Beck made similar comments earlier this month when he suggested that the Obama administration was preparing to stage an event that would be blamed on opponents of big government.Discussing how leftists need violence to realize their political agenda, Beck featured a clip in which former Clintonite and Democrat operative Mark Penn said Obama needs an OKC bombing-style event to regain his popularity.Remember, President Clinton reconnected through Oklahoma, right? said Penn on Chris Matthews’ Hardball show. And the president right now seems removed. It wasn’t until that speech [after the bombing] that [Clinton] really clicked with the American public. Obama needs a similar defining moment, according to Penn.As we have documented, Penn is not the only prominent insider to invoke exploitation of terror as a means of reinvigorating the big government agenda. Back in July, former senior advisor to President Bill Clinton Robert Shapiro wrote in the Financial Times that only an OKC bombing or 9/11 style event could provide Obama with the opportunity to demonstrate that he is a strong leader.

After reading a letter written by Tides CEO and founder Drummond Pike that encouraged advertisers to boycott Fox News in a thinly veiled threat that implied Beck’s rhetoric is leading to another OKC bombing, Beck stated, They are setting up an Oklahoma City, they are claiming that one is coming and they’re already marked the one who caused it, referring to himself.The resistance to TSA groping and naked body scanners is only accelerating as Thanksgiving nears and a national opt-out protest is less than 48 hours away.More and more cases of TSA abuse continue to pour in on a daily basis as Transportation Security Administration head John Pistole indicates for the first time that the agency may be starting to cave to the backlash. Pistole told CNN’s State of the Union yesterday that screening procedures would not be altered but in a subsequent statement acknowledged that the TSA needed to make airport security as minimally invasive as possible, in response to the building nationwide outrage and vows by numerous airport directors to ditch the TSA altogether in favor of private security.

FALSE FLAGS (SET UP OR STAGED BY SOMEONE)
False flag-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.False flag operations are covert operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and can be used in peace-time.(NOTICE EVERY TIME THERES A REAL TERRORIST ATTACK,THE GOVERNMENT ALWAYS IS DOING A FAKE DRILL WHICH MEANS THEY CAN SAY IT WAS ONLY A DRILL IF THE ATTACK DOES NOT GO OVER WITH THE PUBLIC OR IF THE GOVERNMENT MUFFED UP THEIR OWN FALSE FLAG CONTROL FREAK,GET MORE CONTROL OF PEOPLES RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.)

TSA needs false flag security incident to convince Americans to accept obscene pat-downs Mike Adams NaturalNews November 22, 2010

With the grassroots backlash over the TSA’s obscene pat-downs growing by the day, it’s becoming fairly obvious that the only way the U.S. government is going to get the public to accept these Fourth Amendment violations is if there is another terrorist incident that’s stopped by the TSA and its naked body scanners.Be on the watch for a staged security event designed to convince the American people that they need to give up yet more freedoms in the name of police-state security.So far, the TSA is molesting children, teens and grannies without being able to demonstrate that this gross violation of Americans’ Fourth Amendment rights is having any effect whatsoever on improving air travel safety. But if there’s anything to be learned from 9/11, it’s that the sheeple are always willing to give up their rights if they can be scared into doing so. (http://www.naturalnews.com…)After 9/11 people were scared and when people are scared they’ll do anything for someone who will make them less scared, said Bruce Schneier, a Minneapolis security technology expert, in an AP story (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101121…). But [this TSA] is particularly invasive. It’s strip-searching. It’s body groping. As abhorrent goes, this pegs it.

TSA is fighting for its survival

The TSA is being threatened right now in a big way: One airport in Florida is already planning to ditch the agency and hire private contractors to run security. A NYC lawmaker has called for the dismantling of the TSA, and Rep Ron Paul has introduced legislation that would result in TSA agents being arrested for felony crimes if they touched peoples’ junk.The TSA, in other words, is fighting for its very survival right now. What it desperately needs is some new terrorist incident to remind the American people how much they need to give up their freedoms in exchange for security.Now, I’m not saying the TSA is going to plot to blow up an airplane or anything, but if there’s anybody who has the access to sneak something past airport security, it’s the TSA.

How false flag operations achieve government goals

The United States government has a long and detailed history of “staging” events in order to sway public opinion. The Gulf of Tonkin event in the Vietnam War era was deliberately staged by U.S. government officials in order to justify an escalation of military attacks on the North Vietnamese. Documents that were finally declassified just this year prove beyond any doubt that the U.S. government conspired to stage this false flag event. (http://www.prisonplanet.com/de-clas…)

Operation Northwoods was a similar plot. As Wikipedia relates:The planned 1962 Operation Northwoods plot by the U.S. Department of Defense for a war with Cuba involved scenarios such as hijacking or shooting down passenger and military planes, sinking a U.S. ship in the vicinity of Cuba, burning crops, sinking a boat filled with Cuban refugees, attacks by alleged Cuban infiltrators inside the United States, and harassment of U.S. aircraft and shipping and the destruction of aerial drones by aircraft disguised as Cuban MiGs. These actions would be blamed on Cuba, and would be a pretext for an invasion of Cuba and the overthrow of Fidel Castro’s communist government. It was authored by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, nixed by John F. Kennedy, came to light through the Freedom of Information Act and was publicized by James Bamford. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_…)On the conspiracy theory front, there have long been accusations that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job staged as a pretext to clamp down on Americans’ freedoms and roll out the Patriot Act — the very law that coincidentally gives TSA agents the right to have anybody arrested and detained for 48 hours without cause, without a warrant and without legal representation. The evidence surrounding the collapse of the WTC 7 building now has literally thousands of engineers, scientists and citizens realizing the building was obviously brought down by demolition explosions (http://buildingwhat.org) and not an office fire as was the official explanation.The point of all this is that when governments are cornered but don’t want to give in, they will sometimes resort to falsifying events in order to continue moving their agendas forward. As David Icke explains, it’s the old problem-reaction-solution approach. First, create the problem, then wait for the public reaction that allows you to enact the government solution.The formula works like a charm for everything from pushing flu vaccines to justifying a war.In fact, there is evidence that U.S. agents may already be working on this plan. The fake bomb recently found on board a German passenger jet, we now know, was manufactured by a U.S. company (http://www.prisonplanet.com/fake-bo…).

How government agencies keep themselves alive (and get more funding)Is the TSA at that point of desperation yet? I’m not sure, but it would certainly be easy for high-level TSA operatives to find some patsy who hates the government, convince him that he should carry some liquid explosives onto an airplane, and then catch him at a TSA security checkpoint, thereby proving that we need to keep giving up our freedoms in the name of security.The mainstream media would have a field day with that story, and for the next two weeks on the news, we’d all hear how important the TSA is and what a great job they’re doing, and how this terrorist was caught by the naked body scanner machine, and so on.Don’t be surprised to see such a scenario unfold. It’s not that I personally distrust the TSA in particular, because there are some good people who work there and who are not to blame for all this, but at the same time I’ve been around long enough and studied enough true history to know that government organizations will do practically anything to stay in power.The DEA, for example, is desperately fighting against marijuana legalization not because marijuana is some highly dangerous drug (it isn’t), but because it’s job security for DEA agents.The CDC, likewise, went completely out of its way last year to spread fear about the H1N1 Swine Flu for the same reasons: Job security. There’s nothing quite like declaring a stage-six pandemic to keep the Congressional funding flowing your way, huh? The CDC also has a fascinating history of completely distorting the AIDS epidemic in order to boost its own funding, by the way. Watch this eye-opening video from House of Numbers to learn more: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=4FE73…

Every government agency — the TSA, CDC, FDA, USDA, FTC and so on — fights for its survival every year. That’s because in an era of budget cuts, every agency knows it could potentially be on the chopping block for severe cuts. And funding cuts translate into job losses. So the unspoken rule at all government agencies is to make ourselves important in order to keep the money flowing.This is also why the food contamination scares have been hyped up beyond all reason over the last two years: The FDA wants new powers to control the food supply, and the best way to do that is to latch onto stories about e.coli and salmonella and blow those all out of proportion in order to pass reactionary legislation called Senate Bill 510 (http://www.naturalnews.com/030461_S…).The truth about this food safety situation is that right now something like 80% of the chickens sold in grocery stores are contaminated with salmonella (http://www.naturalnews.com/021258.html), yet you don’t hear a peep about that story. And the FDA is making no effort whatsoever to ban chicken meat from grocery stores. Their fear mongering about food contamination is very selective, it seems.Perhaps the TSA has been learning its lessons from the FDA. Simply stage a false flag attack and you, too, can have increased Congressional funding to fight terror or whatever.

We do need protections, but we need our rights even more

All this isn’t to say that America doesn’t have enemies who really do want to destroy us. It’s true that there are really bad people out there — people and groups who want to bring America down.There are some good people in Washington who are fighting for our safety behind the scenes. Yes, the FBI, CIA and NSA all have a few good men who are doing things around the world that you and I don’t even want to know about. Stuff that would make you cringe if you knew about it.The sacrifices being made by some of these individuals in the name of protecting America’s interests on the international stage will never be fully known, nor recognized by anyone in the mainstream. The everyday American people who go about their lives shopping, watching TV, collecting a paycheck and surfing the web have no idea what goes on behind the scenes to give them the luxury of pursuing such a carefree lifestyle.That’s why nothing I print here is intended to disrespect the front-line warriors who are fighting for America’s interests — soldiers, the few good feds, etc. But at the same time that there are some good men (and women) in these agencies, there are also some rotten apples (like in any organization, I suppose). There are some people working in the government who absolutely would not hesitate to stage a false flag attack if it meant increasing their power, their pay and their importance.And those people must be scratching their heads right now, thinking, Gee, it sure would be easy to pull off a staged event of some kind that keeps us all in power.I just hope they come to their senses and realize they should not be at war with the American people. They’re supposed to be fighting to protect our freedoms, not to take away our freedoms. The real war is with the true enemies of America — those state-sponsored terrorist groups that genuinely want to destroy America and everything it stands for.Certainly, we must not let the terrorists win. But neither must we allow freedom to perish in the process.

Reasonable security is fine

As a freedom-loving American who values both my freedom and my safety, I will gladly submit to having my luggage X-rayed and walking through a metal detector. I will gladly sit beside an armed Air Marshal on the flight, captained by an armed pilot on the flight deck who hopefully has a couple of spare mags along with his Colt 1911, too (pilots carry firearms on airplanes right now, most people don’t even know..).
Yet as much as those security precautions seem reasonable, I refuse to subject myself to a body X-ray that emits ionizing radiation, and I refuse to give in to an obscene pat-down that involves government personnel feeling up my genitals, with or without a latex glove.At that point, security has become tyranny. And the terrorists have already won.We need to rise up and stop this. Just as some of our undercover federal agents (and active soldiers) are fighting for America’s interests overseas, you and I need to be fighting for our freedom right here at home, on American soil, with this airport security issue.We are not subjects. We are not cattle. We are sovereign citizens and we will not surrender our bodies to be fondled by government agents with the excuse that it’s for our own good.And be on the watch for a staged security event designed to convince the American people that they need to give up yet more freedoms in the name of police-state security. I’m willing to bet that precisely such a plot is on the drawing board in Washington D.C. right now.

Climate change is the new global terror, says Al Gore
HT Correspondent, Hindustan Times New Delhi, November 20, 2010First Published: 20:57 IST(20/11/2010)


Nobel Peace Prize winner and champion climate campaigner Al Gore outlined the doom the world is awaiting because of climate change and expressed disappointment at world leaders failing to clinch a treaty to fight the new global terror. Terming the logjam in climate negotiations as a startling related stories Need to speed up process of fighting global warming: Al Gore paradox, the man, whose documentary, The Inconvenient Truth won an Oscar said the year 2010 had seen worst of climate change.

There was severe drought in Russia and extreme flooding in Pakistan. What more evidence is required for action, he said at HT Leadership Summit.His worst fear was that after failure of Copenhagen climate summit the talks where heading towards another zombie like the Doha process on World Trade Organisation negotiations. Gore’s solution for the problem was taking the issue back to the grassroots and creating a political storm to compel the leaders to react to climate change.The former president blamed his own country United States – world second biggest carbon emitter -- for failing to legislate a carbon law to curb emissions, resulting in failure of Copenhagen.There are six anti-climate lobbyists for every member of the Senate, he said, adding that such interest groups backed by billions of dollars by polluting companies in US were making an organised attempt to change the public opinion on climate change.They believe that by deceiving people and creating false doubts climate science, they can delay the legislation, the Nobel Peace Prize winner for year 2007 with Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said.He like many leaders at the HT Summit had said that a solution to climate crises is not possible without involving business. For this, he recommended a price on carbon, which could be a carbon tax or a price for emissions higher than a particular level for each sector.

Al Gore had a lot of hope for India to take a lead in fighting climate change.

India has a tremendous opportunity to lead the world in energy efficient solutions and in effecting a rapid shift to use of alternate energy like wind and solar,Gore said. The former US president described warm India-United States relation as a constant and not partisan.Three consecutive governments of two different parties have continued strong relations with India…I am happy at the success of (Barack) Obama’s India visit,he said.

EU homeland security plan ratchets up border protection
VALENTINA POP 22.11.2010 @ 17:46 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – The European Commission on Monday (22 November) tabled an Internal Security Strategy with proposals ranging from cyber-squads fighting online fraud to enhanced border management and EU data systems to track potential terrorists taking a flight or wiring money to suspicious organisations.The plan, which includes 41 actions to be regulated in the coming four years, is aimed at implementing the extra powers in the field of home affairs acquired by the EU once the Lisbon Treaty came into force.It also responds to requests from the European Parliament to have EU-based data extraction and analysis on bank transactions to terrorist organisations, instead of sending all the banking data to the US, where such a programme has existed since 2001.Similarly, air passenger data being collected by various European airlines and handed over to US authorities whenever they fly over the Atlantic, may be in future shared and analysed amongst EU countries as well, in the search for terrorists and gangsters.We don't propose many new organisations, but we want to equip existing ones with better tools, EU home affairs commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said during a press briefing.She fiercely rejected the idea that the EU was about to create gigantic databases and encourage people to spy on each other in the search for potential terrorists. A big database on all citizens would not be very democratic. We need legal limitation on the size and scope of how data is collected,she stressed.Instead, the commission is proposing a network where local police, NGOs and religious congregations across Europe can share best practices on how to best identify and work with these vulnerable people [potential home-grown militants],the Swedish commissioner explained. One new programme, Eurosur, in the field of border surveillance – was asked for years ago by member states and will work closely with EU's border agency Frontex.

Eurosur is likely to spark controversy among human rights groups pointing to the fallacy of mashing together asylum seekers and irregular migrants with traffickers and organised crime lords. In the commission's own description of the programme, Eurosur would be a system of systems focusing on enhanced border surveillance in order to reduce the number of illegal immigrants who enter the EU especially across the Mediterranean. It was initially a request from southern states such as Italy and Greece that have not stepped up their administrative response to dealing with asylum claims and are even pushing back boats of people without checking if they are refugees or not.Frontex itself had received criticism for helping Italian sea patrols in pushing back migrant boats. The agency says it has since changed its code of conduct to give greater emphasis to the rights of refugees and asylum seekers.Ms Malmstrom, a former MEP and civil liberties campaigner, has tried to push for a more rights-oriented approach in EU's dealings with migrants.I want border guards, police, and customs officials to co-operate much more effectively at the real hotspots of the EU external borders in order to better fight human trafficking, trafficking in illegal and dangerous goods, and other criminal activity, she said.

Cybersecurity – a buzz word taken up by Nato and the EU as well – is also featuring among the proposed measures in the coming four years.A new cybercrime centre will be set up at Europol, the bloc's police co-operation agency, and special computer emergency response teams will be available in 2012 in all member states.A European crisis management system, looking at more co-ordinated risk assessments on natural disasters and linking it up to nuclear risk monitoring and terrorism, is also included in the plan, with the commission set to table concrete proposals next year.

US has no closer partner than Europe, says Obama
VALENTINA POP 22.11.2010 @ 09:25 CET


EUOBSERVER / LISBON – EU leaders meeting US President Barack Obama on Saturday chose not to discuss any contentious matters in an exercise meant to show how well the transatlantic relationship works, after Mr Obama had snubbed them earlier this year.
This summit was not as exciting as other summits, because we basically agree on everything, Mr Obama told reporters on Saturday night, after a two-day marathon session of meetings at the Nato summit in Lisbon, ending with a two-hour session with EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy and Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso.

Nevertheless, Mr Obama argued, I value these meetings because the US has no closer partner than Europe.The reassurances about the importance of EU-US relation come after Mr Obama earlier this year rejected an invitation to Madrid by the then Spanish EU presidency, with White House officials citing the need for the Europeans to make up their minds who represents the EU. Spanish premier Jose Rodriguez Zapatero had seized the opportunity of a transitional period as the new EU rulebook just came into force, to try and organise the EU-US summit himself instead of Mr Van Rompuy.Today marked our first summit under EU's new Lisbon Treaty and it was wonderful to meet Cathy Ashton, who is doing an outstanding work, Mr Obama said in Lisbon.As for the concrete outcome of the meeting, which Mr Barroso described as intimate, friendly and focussed, the three politicians could point to little other than a working group on cybersecurity which will report back to leaders in a year's time and to step up the activity of the Transatlantic Economic Council (TEC) looking at regulatory regimes and business-friendly climate on both sides of the Atlantic.

Mr Obama also stressed the need for EU's police training mission to Afghanistan to step up its act, after Nato leaders and partners had just decided to begin the security hand-over to Afghan troops in 2014.Mr Van Rompuy, for his part, said that a speedy compromise on an overarching EU-US data protection agreement may facilitate the conclusion of other data transfer deals - for instance on passenger name records (PNR). This was the only midly contentious matter taken up from a wishlist adopted by the European Parliament in the run-up to the EU-US summit. More controversial matters requested by MEPs were not brought up, including the call for an independent inquiry into Iraqi torture condoned by US and British troops, after the publication of secret war logs by Wikileaks.The US leader took no questions from the press after his five-minute remarks and headed directly to the airport, in his armoured Cadillac. The ambassadors of the EU to Washington, Joao Vale de Almeida and William Kennard, US' envoy to Brussels later on jointly briefed the press and answered questions on behalf of their leaders.Asked why the EU leaders chose to remain silent on the more contentious matters with the US, Mr de Almeida argued that when you have a summit with best friends, the level of disputes is low.There may be differences, such as on data privacy, but no big problems as there are in US' relations with other countries, the former chief of staff of Mr Barroso said.Mr Kennard said that because the relationship is healthy and working, we can focus on challenges outside the EU or the US, such as Iran and the Middle East.On the working group on cybersecurity, the US envoy said that it is building on a lot of work going on already and that unlike the efforts in Nato to counter cyber attacks on military networks, this will focus on the commercial side and potential threats to the regular consumer.

Ireland applies for €90bn bail-out as eurozone trembles-Ireland has become the second country under EU-IMF tutelage (Photo: La Marga)LEIGH PHILLIPS
22.11.2010 @ 09:25 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The Irish government has applied for an EU-IMF bail-out of up to €90 billion to save its banking sector from collapse and reduce its borrowing costs, a move that in effect places Irish democracy, like that of Greece, under the protectorship of experts from Brussels and Washington.Ireland's finance minister, Brian Lenihan, made the announcement speaking to public radio on Sunday evening (21 November) that he would recommend the application to a cabinet meeting later that night. The taoiseach, the country's prime minister, Brian Cowen, publicly addressed his nation, admitting to what had been denied for a week.In a bitter exchange with an Irish reporter, the leader rejected responsibility for the crisis: I will defend my position throughout my political career. I don't accept your contention that I am the bogeyman you are looking for.European Union finance ministers on Sunday night gave the nod to the loan, following feverish negotiations between the Irish government and a team of experts from the troika of the EU, the ECB and the IMF, flown into Dublin on Thursday, although exact sums have yet to be announced, following an emergency meeting held at the same time as the Irish cabinet discussion. EU economic affairs commissioner Olli Rehn, conceded that the emergency action was taken essentially to protect the eurozone from further contagion: Providing assistance to Ireland is warranted to safeguard the financial stability in Europe.Eyes will now be cast toward Portugal, also in recent days bludgeoned lending costs demanded by investors, to see if the Irish move will be enough to prevent a runaway chain of bail-outs that potentially could include Spain at a massive cost.

Underscoring the acute danger to the eurozone and the wider global economy posed by the relatively small Irish economy, G7 leaders also gave the green light to the deal.
The UK and Sweden, who both lie outside the wounded eurozone, will also offer a set of bilateral loans. Britain – whose own banks have the largest exposure to Ireland, an estimated £150 billion – is likely to be on the hook for around £7 billion, including its participation in the bail-out via the IMF and the EU. However, some sources suggested that a combined bilateral package including other sources could add an additional €20 billion to the estimated €70-90 billion bail-out fund. An Irish default would have left London in a similar situation that Ireland currently faces, with public funds drained to prop up foundering banks.Irish leaders refused to be drawn on the exact numbers involved, although Mr Lenihan insisted it was not a three-figure sum, as had been reported by some media.Precise details of the scale of the three-year loan - what Irish leaders are preferring to a ‘contingency fund' - and the stiff conditions attached to it, will trickle out in the coming days as formal talks between the troika and the Dublin government now begin in earnest. It is expected that a final package will be agreed by the end of the month.What is known is that the loan conditions comprise two broad elements. The first, a deep restructuring of the banks, will see the financial institutions, in the words of Mr Cowen significantly smaller than they were in the past.The second element will attempt an internal devaluation - a bundle of steep public spending cuts, increased taxes that squeezes labour costs. Tied to the euro, Ireland is unable to devalue, imposing such dramatic social pain it is hoped will allow the economy can regain its international competitiveness.And dramatic it will be: a government four-year plan of cuts will include, according to the taoiseach, €10 billion in cuts, including a 10 percent cut in welfare provision and a reduction in public sector jobs of 28,000, and €5 billion in new taxes, including increased taxes on low-income earners and water charges.Ensuring the Irish government sticks to its plan, experts from the troika, currently lodged at Dublin's luxurious, five-star Merrion Hotel, will likely be installed in the finance ministry, with quarterly reviews, as occurs in the case of Greece's bail-out. Failure to meet projections will require a ratcheting up of the austerity.

Mr Lenihan refused to mention the expected interest rate imposed on the loan, but the standard figure, which could open up other EU states to charges of attempting to profit from Ireland's misfortune, comprises an ECB rate of one percent, plus an additional 1.5 to two percent on top, with one percent handling fee, amounting to roughly or just below five percent.The opposition Fine Gael has said it will back any budget proposed by the government, while Labour's Pat Rabbitte, speaking on Irish public television on Sunday night, would not comment on whether his party would do so.Protests against the measures so far have been miniscule, with a few dozen outside government offices on Sunday night, although a major demonstration has been called by unions for 27 November.

Knesset Passes Referendum Law NOV 22,10
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu and Elad Benari


The Knesset passed on Monday evening the bill that would require a referendum before any land officially under Israeli sovereignty is surrendered, specifically the Golan Heights. 65 MKs voted in favor of the bill while 33 opposed it.Labor ministers Ehud Barak, Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, Isaac Herzog, and Avishay Braverman did not participate in the vote. However, two other members of the Labor Party, Minister Shalom Simchon and Deputy Minister Matan Vilnai were present and voted in favor of the referendum.

Prior to the vote, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's office rejected the idea that the referendum law would hurt the chances for peace negotiations between Israel and its neighbors. A referendum prevents an irresponsible agreement and on the other hand makes it possible to achieve a strong public backing for an agreement that will respond to Israel's national interests, said Netanyahu.A recently-passed law already required an absolute majority of 61 Knesset Members before any of the Golan could be handed over to Syria, which has been demanding the entire Golan Heights. A referendum would place a major obstacle if any government were able to win a majority in the Knesset for giving up the area and its rich water resources.The referendum bill also covers United Jerusalem and the rest of Israel except for Judea and Samaria which officially are under military control.Earlier on Monday Kadima leader Tzipi Livni made a U-turn on the bill the party once backed. The Kadima leader said her opposition to the Golan referendum bill is based on a principle that the Knesset, and not the general public, should have the final say on legislature. However, despite Kadima's decision to oppose the referendum bill, two of its members, MKs Otniel Schneller and Eli Aflalo, voted in favor of the referendum.

Consistent with her previous attacks on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Livni said that he is a weak prime minister. This has nothing to do with left or right, but with decision-making in this democracy. There is one referendum, and that's general elections, and the prime minister must say the same thing before and after the elections.Her move to the left is surprising because Kadima formerly had encouraged the bill, which would create a major obstacle to any future effort to surrender any part of the Golan. However, her opposition is consistent with an almost automatic disagreement with every policy promoted by the prime minister and the Likud coalition.MK Livni lost a bitter contest to form the current coalition two years ago. She has claimed she should be heading the government because her party won one more seat than the Likud in the winter 2009 elections. However, she was not able to win over Yisrael Beiteinu, headed by Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, and Shas, leaving her with minority support that did not enable her to form a coalition.

US-Trained Armed Forces Turning PA into Police State’
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu NOV 23,10


The United States may have created a Frankenstein in the Palestinian Authority, which human rights groups fear is using U.S.-trained forces to build a police state.I feel real concern that we are reaching the level of a police state, according to Ramallah-based human rights group director Shawan Jabarin, quoted by the Financial Times.The United States has taken pride in its training PA policemen, avoiding use of the words armed forces in order not to violate Oslo agreements. General Keith Dayton, who recently stepped down as director of the training program in the PA, has said the forces have been instrumental in eliminating Arab terror.

However, most of the terrorists and their supporters who have been arrested belong to Hamas, which threw its bitter rival Fatah out of Gaza in a bloody military war more than three years ago.The Financial Times noted that PA politician Badr Abu Ayyash was arrested in September by the Preventive Security Unit, which allegedly tortured him to the point that he can hardly walk today. Other prisoners were quoted as saying that Hamas members are routinely beaten and tortured.Human Rights Watch last month stated that reports of torture by Palestinian security forces keep rolling in. Randa Siniora, the director of the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights, told the Times, We are looking at a very gloomy situation. I am afraid that this will become systematic.The anti-Hamas actions may prevent inroads by fundamentalist Muslim members of Hamas, but European countries, which generously fund the Palestinian Authority, have openly questioned whether their contribution justifies the PA becoming a police state.The U.S. State Department five years ago encouraged the PA to establish democratic elections for the first time. However, then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was shocked to discover that Hamas won the legislature.

Since then, no general legislative elections have been held, and PA Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas continues to serve beyond his expired term, leaving the PA without any signs of the democracy that the United States introduced.Ahmed Salhab, who said he was tortured in a PA prison, told the Times, I had to eat lying on my back. I had to pray on my back and other inmates had to carry me to the toilet. I never broke the law. In the past, nobody would have believed that the PA would torture its own people. But now everybody knows that they do not respect human rights.Hamas charged on Monday that continuing arrests of its members in Judea and Samaria are poisoning the atmosphere. A statement from its Damascus headquarters stated, More than 50 armed men of the security services of the Palestinian Authority on Sunday night raided the home of MP Fathi al-Qarawi, arrested one of his sons and confiscated computers.It also charged that a preacher was kidnapped from her home in Shechem.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Is START a Jewish Issue? by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu NOV 23,10

The conservative Heritage House foundation has taken issue with Jewish Democrats and the ADL for trying to turn the Russia-US START program into a Jewish issue.The START nuclear arms control treaty is the focus of U.S. President Barack Obama’s policy towards Russia. The National Jewish Democratic Council has backed it, noting that it forces Russia to cooperate with United Nations sanctions against Iran's unsupervised nuclear program.The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) also has backed START, stating, We are deeply concerned that failure to ratify the New START treaty will have national security consequences far beyond the subject of the treaty itself. The U.S. diplomatic strategy to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons requires a U.S.-Russia relationship of trust and cooperation.The Heritage House, whose founder Paul Weyrich has been charged with backing a fundamentalist Christian theocracy in the United States, accused partisan Democrats in the Jewish community [of] attempting to politicize the security debate of the New START nuclear arms control treaty.In the past, the ADL has accused Weyrich of being part an alliance of prominent conservative Christians who threatened the separation of church and state.

Responding to the Jewish groups’ comments on START, the Heritage House argued, The New START debate is about deadly serious issues, such as nuclear weapons. It should be kept outside of politics, let alone ethnic politics. There isn’t anything particularly Jewish or Democratic about an arms control treaty. Nor there is anything Jewish about the Obama Administration’s decision not to back off criticism about the undervalued Chinese currency just to keep Beijing on board regarding the U.N. Security Council Iran sanctions.The Heritage House alleged that the National Jewish Democratic Council assumes a knee-jerk response from a White House functioning as little more than a political mouthpiece.It reasoned that Israel has close enough relations with Russia, including over a million Russian immigrants, that it does not need START to help ties with Moscow, and that Russia will act in its own interests the way it did when it cancelled the sale of weapons to Iran recently.The think tank also pointed out that Russia helped build Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant, sells weapons to Syria, has ties with the Hamas and Hizbullah terrorist organizations and wants to once again become a power player in the Middle East in the way its predecessor, the USSR did: by selling weapons, missiles and nuclear technology, and undermining U.S. interests when it can. Occasionally, it gives terrorists a free pass.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
