China defense chief says military hardware drive no threat
JAN 10,11

(Reuters) - BEIJING, Jan 9 (Reuters) – China's military technology lags decades behind the world's most advanced armed forces and does not threaten any country, the Chinese defense minister said on Monday after talks with Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Gates's visit from Sunday to Wednesday comes a week before Chinese President Hu Jintao's state visit to Washington.The efforts that we place on the research and development of weapons systems are by no means targeted at any third country or any other countries in the world, and it will by no means threaten any other country in the world, Chinese Minister of Defense Liang Guanglie told reporters after talks with Gates.U.S. officials have noted quick advances in China's anti-ship ballistic missile programme, which could challenge U.S. aircraft carriers. China may also be preparing to launch its first aircraft carrier in 2011, faster than some estimates, and new photos indicate it has a prototype of a stealth fighter jet.(Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Writing by Chris Buckley)

Gates says China moving fast on new weapons
By ANNE GEARAN, AP National Security Writer - JAN 10,11

BEIJING – The U.S. defense secretary says China's rapidly developing defense capabilities are worrisome to the United States. Robert Gates is on a long-awaited visit to Beijing to formally reopen military exchanges and is meeting Monday with his Chinese counterparts.China has made strides in building a new stealth fighter jet, and Washington is also concerned about a new ballistic missile that could theoretically explode a U.S. aircraft carrier nearly 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) out to sea. China has also apparently beaten U.S. estimates to develop that weapon.

Gates met Monday with Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie and will remain in Beijing until Wednesday. He plans to meet with other top Chinese leaders, including president and Communist Party chief Hu Jintao, who is himself scheduled to travel to the U.S. next week for a state visit.Gates is the first U.S. defense secretary to visit Beijing since 2000. His trip marks the official restoration of contacts with the Chinese military that were suspended by Beijing last year after the U.S. announced a $6.4 billion arms package for Taiwan.Gates told reporters traveling with him to Asia on Sunday that China had the potential to put some of our capabilities at risk.We have to pay attention to them. We have to respond appropriately with our own programs, Gates said.The United States has long known that China wanted to field a stealth jet, but development outpaced U.S. intelligence estimates, Gates said.

China is still years behind U.S. capabilities in radar-evading aircraft, and even by 2025 the United States would still have far more such aircraft flying than any other nation in the world, Gates said.China says it does not pose a threat and its military forces are purely for defense — which by Beijing's definition includes deterring Taiwan, the self-governing island that Beijing claims as its territory, from declaring formal independence.In an apparent nod to U.S. calls for more openness, China allowed video and pictures of last week's runway tests of its prototype stealth fighter to be taken and posted online.Gates is trying to coax Chinese military leaders into more regular discussions with the U.S.The Pentagon is focusing scarcer defense dollars on ways to counter the kinds of weapons China is now building. For example, Gates said recently that he wants to spend more on a new long-range nuclear bomber and updated electronics gear for the Navy that could throw an incoming missile off course.Gates will also visit South Korea for talks about averting war with the North, as well as Japan, which is alarmed by Chinese military moves.

SKorea, Japan to discuss first-ever military pact By HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press - JAN 10,11

SEOUL, South Korea – South Korean and Japanese defense chiefs will start military talks on accords to share intelligence and provide each other with fuel and medical support.A Defense Ministry official said Monday that the accords, if signed, will be the countries' first military treaty since Tokyo's colonial rule of the Korean peninsula ended in 1945.The official says the accords won't be signed during Monday's one-day talks. It was unclear when the signing could happen.The official spoke on condition of anonymity citing the issue's sensitivity.South Korea and Japan are important trading and diplomatic partners. But their relations still suffer over territorial and historical disputes stemming from Japan's brutal 35-year colonial occupation.

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.

Redeeming Jerusalem is Theme of Beit Orot Event
by Fern Sidman, INN NY Correspondent JAN 10,11

On January 5, hundreds of pro-Israel activists and supporters gathered at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in New York for a celebration of the famed Beit Orot yeshiva and community on Har Hazeitim (the Mount of Olives) in the northern part of East Jerusalem.The master of ceremonies was long time radio personality Nachum Segal (JM in the AM) who said, referring to the controversy that swirls around the U.S. demand that construction of new Jewish homes and yeshivas in East Jerusalem come to a screeching halt, I am one who believes that Jews should be able to live wherever they choose in the land that was bequeathed to them by G-d and which is their possession and inheritance. The holy city of Jerusalem takes on special significance for the Jewish people as it has been the Jewish capital for thousands of years and every inch of this precious city must maintain a Jewish presence.The Beit Orot hesder yeshiva, in which students combine Torah study with serving in the Israel Defense Forces, represents the epicenter of the Har Hazeitim developing neighborhood and is the first Jewish presence in over 2000 years in this part of Jerusalem. Also known as The Irving Moskowitz Yeshiva and Campus, it stands on the strategically crucial northern ridge of the Mount of Olives and boasts a most spectacular view of the old city of Jerusalem.

Seth H. Schreiber, Chairman of the Board of Americans Friends of Beit Orot, said, We will never allow the powers that be to stop us from building our homes in our own land. We just recently got our license to build and we are committed to continue to build a strong and united Jerusalem as we secure our future for generations to come. He added that when a Jew builds a home in his own land, he is charged with inciting global unrest, while the real terrorists who refuse to recognize Israel as a Jewish state and who proudly proclaim their desire to obliterate the Jewish people are viewed as downtrodden victims.The evening included a video presentation of the testimony of Rabbi Chanan Porat, a founder of Beit Orot, who spoke of losing his beloved platoon commander, Giora Ashkenazi to Arab forces in the 1967 war. Giora was not religious but was as straight as a man can be, Rabbi Porat said with tears in his eyes. I always wondered who would say kaddish for him and today his grandchildren are religious Jews. His grandson comes to Beit Orot to recite kaddish for him and his wife supports our efforts to build in the very place that Giora gave his life for his people.A formidable contingent of attendees at the dinner represented Americans For a Safe Israel (AFSI), a pro-Israel advocacy organization that has been in the forefront of support for the building of Jewish homes and communities throughout Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Navy Readies for its New Submarines
by Gil Ronen JAN 9,11

The Israel Navy is making advanced preparations to absorb two new German-made Dolphin-class submarines, IDF journal Bamachaneh reported in its latest issue. The number of soldiers selected for submarine warfare has grown by 30% in the latest IDF recruitment batches, in order to man the additional submarines.The Navy currently has three submarines, also of the Dolphin class, so the addition of two subs means that the force is growing 66% bigger. We are in mid-process and are slowly adding more crews to be trained for service in the submarines, explained Naval Instruction Base Commander Col. Ronen Nimni. We are also taking care to add crew commanders who closely mentor the soldiers.More officers are being trained for submarine posts as well. The number of cadets who will be trained for submarine command positions is rising by 35%.According to an article in World Politics Review, Israel's three submarines reportedly carry nuclear-tipped cruise missiles of an unidentified type.

The missiles, part of Israel's estimated 100-strong nuclear arsenal, reportedly have a range of up to 800 miles. The subs probably cannot hit Iran without passing through the Suez into the Red Sea and ultimately the Indian Ocean. The Red Sea is also the best route to the Gulf of Oman, where Israeli ships and submarines might enforce a blockade of Iran, during wartime.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Liberal Smear Machine Backfires After Gunman Found To Be Occultist, Pot-Smoking Left Winger - Related: Arizona Assassin Obsessed With Mind Control Alex Jones & Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com January 10, 2011
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj47lB1a-0Y&feature=player_embedded

A full scale demonization campaign against conservatives, free speech and the Second Amendment on behalf of Democrats and the establishment media in the wake of Saturday’s shootings has sensationally backfired after it emerged that gunman Jared Lee Loughner was a left-wing, pot-smoking liberal who was into dressing like the grim reaper and dabbling in the occult.In their fervor to tear down the First and Second Amendments, Democrats and their allies in the corporate media hastily characterized Loughner as an anti-government right-winger in their rush to link him to the Tea Party and Sarah Palin, a connection that is still being invoked as Dems seek to rush through gun control legislation as well as a bill that could make criticism of government a form of hate speech.However, precisely as Alex Jones forecast on his show last night, it has emerged this morning that Loughner is a devil-worshipper wannabe who idolized fake human skulls and dressed up like the grim reaper.How often have you witnessed a tear partier, an anti-government activist or a conservative engage in any of the following behaviors, all of which are confirmed to have been conducted by Loughner. (1) (2) (3) (4)

- Burning the American flag
- Being a left-winger and a liberal
- Smoking pot
- Having long hair
- Dressing up as the grim reaper
- Dabbling in the occult by worshipping a replica of a human skull
- Expressing the desire to be a woman
- Describing Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto as a favorite book

Does it sound like Jared Lee Loughner was a right-wing conservative, as the liberal smear machine is attempting to claim? Despite the fact that Loughner’s former classmate described him as quite liberal and left wing, the New York Times, Washington Post, along with a host of statist blogs like Huffington Post and the Daily Kos, were beating the drum for so-called right-wingers (opponents of Obamacare or big government) to be politically silenced in the name of toning down the rhetoric.In reality, Loughner’s political views were all over the map, sharing characteristics of conservatism, liberalism and libertarianism. He was a fundamentally disturbed and deranged individual, which was the main reason for the carnage he become embroiled in, not because he was a tea partier influenced by the resistance against big government, as the establishment is now trying to claim.

The haste with which the attack machine had manufactured Loughner’s persona before his name was even known as a dangerous right-winger proves that the establishment had already embarked on a sickening plan to exploit the tragedy mere minutes after news of the shootings broke.We don’t even have a clear motive for why Loughner apparently targeted Congressman Giffords. Indeed, since both Giffords and federal judge John Roll were both very conservative in their policies towards gun control and immigration, how do we know that Loughner’s anger wasn’t rooted in leftist rage?

Another key facet to this story is the fact that Loughner’s mental instability was well known on his campus, and yet “College authorities ignored repeated warnings that the drug-taking 22-year-old was a potential danger, a former teacher claimed last night.Despite the fact that Loughner’s profile is now confirmed as a black-clad, occult-dabbling, pot smoking unstable loner, in a similar mould to Columbine killers Harrison and Klebold, the establishment is still blaming so-called right-wing radio and talk show hosts for the tragedy and demanding that Americans “tone down their rhetoric,’ which is a mere euphemism for a brazen attempt to stifle criticism of the state altogether.Speaking to Fox News, the father of the 9-year-old girl killed as a result of Loughner’s rampage commendably labeled the tragic events a random act and said that the death of his daughter should not be exploited to revoke freedoms.Speaking on the subject of how travel became a nightmare after 9/11, John Green said, We don’t need any more restrictions on our society, as a consequence of the shootings, and said that tragic events such as those that led to the murder of his daughter was the price Americans have to pay for freedom.

Unclear whether shooter's motivation was political By MICHAEL R. BLOOD, AP Political Writer – Mon Jan 10, 5:53 am ET

TUCSON, Ariz. – Soften the political tone: that's been the message from lawmakers from across the nation since a gunman tried to assassinate an Arizona congresswoman and killed six people after posting confusing online rants about his views.Yet as an image of the suspected shooter emerges, friends and online ramblings paint a picture of a troubled young man whose beliefs are unclear.Some Democrats have suggested 22-year-old Jared Loughner was motivated by anti-government language from the tea party movement and rabble-rousing rhetoric from conservative figures such as Sarah Palin. The House temporarily postponed the debate over repealing the health care law.But tea party activists in the state said the man identified as the suspect did not appear on mailing lists and did not appear to have attended any events in the state.

I don't think his ideology is anything coherent, said Trent Humphries, co-founder of the Tucson Tea Party.I just think he was a very, very disturbed individual.The tragedy at a Tucson shopping mall has left behind politically tricky ground for both parties, which are maneuvering carefully as details from the shooting emerge.The attack occurred after a turbulent political season marked by tea party energy that that helped return control of the House to Republicans and bolstered conservative ranks around the nation. Arizona has been a hotbed of political strife, particularly over its tough illegal immigration law.Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is a moderate Democrat who narrowly won re-election in November against a tea party-backed candidate who campaigned against the health care law. The suspected shooter registered as an independent in 2006, and he voted in the November 2008 presidential election, according to the secretary of state.At an event about three years ago, Giffords took a question from Loughner: What is government if words have no meaning?

Loughner was angry about her response — she read the question and had nothing to say, according to two of his high school friends who spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they wanted to avoid the publicity surrounding the case.Steven Cates, who attended an advanced poetry writing class with Loughner at Pima Community College last spring, said he didn't recall Loughner talking about politics.He didn't seem very interested in politics. Whatever politics were brought up in class, he seemed to tune it out, Cates said.According to his cryptic Web postings, Loughner feared he was the target of government surveillance and considered police authority unconstitutional. He railed against the Education Department and questions the value of U.S. currency not backed by gold or silver.I can't trust the current government, he wrote in one video posted online, one of several expressing deep suspicion of authority. The government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling the grammar.Elsewhere, Loughner lists favorite books including Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto, along with two novels about control of the masses, Animal Farm and Brave New World.

The postings suggest Loughner is a person who doesn't have a very concrete ideology, said Frederic L. Solop, chair of the Department of Politics and International Affairs at Northern Arizona University. I don't see any reflection of a political party or a specific set of ideas.An official familiar with the investigation said local authorities are looking at a possible connection between Loughner and an online group known for its anti-government rhetoric. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation.The anti-government organization American Renaissance is connected to the white supremacist New Century Foundation, according to an analysis by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama-based group that tracks hate crimes. The group's leaders said in a posting on their website that Loughner never subscribed to their magazine, registered for any of the group's conferences or visited their Internet site. One of the high school friends who spoke on condition of anonymity paused when asked if he considered Loughner a Republican or Democrat.Is there a radical party? It went beyond that, it wasn't left or right, the friend said.Associated Press writers Justin Pritchard in Tucson, Ariz. and Eileen Sullivan in Washington contributed to this report.

SPLC blames Ayn Rand, David Icke and Others for Arizona Shooting
Aaron Dykes Infowars.com January 8, 2011

Who is to blame for Jared Loughner’s bizarre shooting yesterday? According to Mark Potok, anyone with even the vaguest links to his bizarre and disjointed online ramblings. As a shocked world looks to the background of accused shooter Jared Lee Loughner for clues as to why he would shoot a Congresswoman, a Federal judge and others, Mark Potok, spokesman for the Southern Poverty Law Center, predictably stepped forward on Keith Olbermann’s MSNBC program to paint a broad brush against the radical right, whom he automatically deems responsible for the shootings.Going from the books posted on the accused shooter’s You Tube reading list, Potok deceitfully attempts to connect him to author Ayn Rand’s We The Living while ignoring Loughner’s praise for the Communist Manifesto and national socialist Hitler’s Mein Kampf.Even more outrageously, Potok excerpts a vague term used by Loughner about conscience dreaming, which he says he studied in college, and links it to new age speaker, British author and ‘conspiracy theorist’ David Icke, despite the fact that nothing known about Loughner has ever mentioned Icke or his work. Not only is this an example of unjustified guilt-by-association, but David Icke has manifestly promoted non-violence throughout his decades of work. Further conscious dreaming is a term often linked to yoga practices and Eastern philosophy not radical right wing ideology.

Because Loughner allegedly posted statements about gold and silver-backed currency on his MySpace and other postings, Mark Potok further connects Loughner to right wingers on this point; however, it is the Constitution, in Article I Section 10, which demands that No State shall… make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.Loughner’s You Tube account further includes a bizarre video titled, How to: Your New Currency, wherein he makes such incoherent and repetitive statements as If I’m thinking of creating a new coin that’s in my control as treasurer then I’m thinking my new coin is starting a new currency system. I’m thinking of creating a new coin that’s in my control as treasurer. Hence I’m thinking my new coin is starting a new currency system.Regardless of why Loughner advocated gold & silver currency, the position has nothing to do with violent action, nor is it patently connected to the so-called radical right.Potok and his Southern Poverty Law Center are searching for a broader enemy so they can demonize political opponents and chill free speech in general. Jared Lee Loughner’s actions are deplorable and disgusting, but there is no reason to believe it was motivated, endorsed or encouraged by the right wing or any other known political faction. Indeed, the motivation for the accused assassin’s shootings may be hard to pinpoint, as he has many incoherent ramblings which may add up to nothing in particular at all.

Sticks & Stones, Not Words, Cause Injury

Even if other clues about Loughner’s background– such as his being a liberal atheist, critic of government-controlled grammar, admirer of the Communist Manifesto, of death music and abortion, or anti-semitic groups– played a role in his going overboard, it is no reason to demonize anyone else matching that background. Potok’s words are influential, and he should be more cautious about casting blame in the direction of any given political movement. Already publications like Politico and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel have run with the idea that Loughner’s murders and near-fatal shootings were triggered by right wing conspiracy theorists.Until there is evidence this shooting was caused by anyone other than Loughner himself, people like Potok should put down the blame game. Everyone recognizes that this incident was a tragedy. Alleged links to writers, deceased or otherwise, that Loughner supposedly read may factor into his bizarre background, but have no apparent connection to the shootings’ motivation, nor do they construct a comprehensive pattern. Why then would Potok seek to connect a web of right-wing rhetoric to this killer?

Jared Loughner is described as a left-wing political radical.​A classmate of the man accused of shooting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords this morning describes him as left wing and a pot head in a series of posts on Twitter this afternoon.Caitie Parker did not immediately respond to our request for an interview, but her tweets in the hours after the shooting paint a picture of Jared Loughner as a substance-abusing loner who had met Giffords before the shooting. She says, Loughner described the congresswoman as stupid and unintelligent.We've confirmed that Parker and Loughner went to school together at Mountain View High School in Tucson and that both attended Pima Community College, so her claims of knowing Loughner seem to be legit.Parker tweets that she and Loughner were in the band together and were friends until 2007 when he became reclusive after getting alcohol poisoning and dropping out of college.She describes him as quite liberal and as a political radical.Below is a log of tweets posted by Parker beginning around the time of the shooting.

Portugal under pressure to seek EU/IMF aid: source
By Jan Strupczewski – Sun Jan 9, 6:43 pm ET

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Pressure is growing on Portugal from Germany, France and other euro zone countries to seek financial help from the EU and IMF to stop the bloc's debt crisis from spreading, a senior euro zone source said on Sunday.Some preliminary discussions on the possibility of Portugal asking for help if its financing costs on markets become too high have taken place since July, the source said.No formal talks on aid have started yet, a number of euro zone sources said, but the pressure was rising in the Eurogroup, which brings together euro zone finance ministers.France and Germany have indicated in the context of the Eurogroup that Portugal should apply for help sooner rather than later, the senior source said, adding Finland and the Netherlands had expressed similar views.

But Germany denied any pressure.

It is not the strategy of the German government to push Portugal to take the bailout, said Steffen Seibert, German Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman.Earlier on Sunday, a Portuguese government spokesman denied a German magazine report that Lisbon was under pressure from Berlin and Paris to seek a bailout from the European Union and International Monetary Fund.Leading Portuguese newspaper Publico on Sunday joined the ranks of those who think a bailout is inevitable. Only a miracle will save us from the IMF, a Publico editorial read.Many policymakers hope EU/IMF financing for Portugal would ring fence the euro zone debt crisis, in which Greece and Ireland have taken bailouts.Before Ireland got its 85-billion-euro ($109.7 billion) bailout late last year there were reports of pressure from core euro zone countries for Dublin to accept an aid package.Lisbon has repeatedly denied it is facing pressure or needs a bailout in recent months -- there have been frequent reports that such help may become necessary.Help for Lisbon would aim to protect Spain, which might be next in line, but whose financing needs would stretch current euro zone aid capabilities to the limit.The real battle will be the battle of Spain -- but there I think we have much higher chances of success,the source said.Asked to estimate the possible size of a program Portugal could need, the source said: More than 50 billion euros and less than 100 billion euros, say between 60 and 80 billion, but this is off the cuff, because we don't know the needs of the Portuguese banking sector.

BOND YIELDS

Portugal is viewed by many economists as the peripheral euro zone country most likely to follow Ireland and Greece as it grapples to cut its debts and borrowing costs.A Reuters poll of economists last week showed almost all expected Portugal to need a bailout.Portugal has not requested it -- you cannot force somebody to want something, a second senior euro zone source said. Strictly arithmetically speaking, it would not be necessary, but given the hysterics of some market participants it may become useful.The growing pressure on Lisbon follows a sharp rise in Portuguese 10-year bond yields at the end of last week to euro lifetime highs above 7 percent, as investors worried about the prospect of up to 1.25 billion euros of bond supply it will offer at an auction on Wednesday. The yield of five-year Portuguese bonds on the secondary market is 6.43 percent and 10-year paper trades at 7.26 percent. Economists say a key question for Portugal is how long it can sustain the high yield levels, and the auction will be an important gauge of that.That auction will be very closely watched, the first source said. There had already been pressure on Lisbon to ask for financial help before an EU leaders' summit in mid-December, but to no effect, the first source said, because Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Socrates opposes such a move.There are still memories in Portugal of the IMF program of the 1970s and the loss of sovereignty that it entails, the source said.Asked when Portugal could be forced to turn to the EU and the IMF for help, the first source said it depended on yield developments, the position of Socrates and how much pressure German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy were willing to apply.

The five-year paper is above the cost of funding that Portugal would get under EU/IMF aid, the source said.Portuguese opposition leader Pedro Passos Coelho said on Sunday if the country were forced to seek foreign financing the government would not be in a position to continue ruling as its policies would have failed.(Additional reporting by Axel Bugge in Lisbon; editing by Jon Boyle)

Economists foretell of U.S. decline, China's ascension
By Mark Felsenthal – Sun Jan 9, 12:32 pm ET

DENVER (Reuters) – To hear a number of prominent economists tell it, it doesn't look good for the U.S. economy, not this year, not in 10 years.Leading thinkers in the dismal science speaking at an annual convention offered varying visions of U.S. economic decline, in the short, medium and long term. This year, the recovery may bog down as government stimulus measures dry up.In the long run, the United States must face up to inevitably being overtaken by China as the world's largest economy. And it may have missed a chance to rein in its largest financial institutions, many of whom remain too big to fail and are getting bigger.On the one hand, Harvard's Martin Feldstein said he believes the outlook for U.S. economic growth in 2011 is less sanguine than many believe.First, the boost to growth from government spending will be drying up this year, he said. Renewal of expiring tax cuts is no more than a decision not to raise taxes, and the impact of one-year payroll tax cut is likely modest, he said.There's really not much help coming from fiscal policy in the year ahead, he said. Woes from the dire situations of state and local governments may actually be a drag on growth, he said.Growth got a lift from a lower saving rate in 2010, but that probably will not last this year as households worried about an uncertain future return to paring back debt and socking more away, Feldstein added. Discouraging declines in home values mean there is less to save from, he said.People are worried, so there's a strong reason for precautionary saving, he said.

THE RACE IS ON

On the other hand, there is the race with China and the dynamic Asian economies, including India. Most estimates put the size of the Chinese economy on par with the United States by the early 2020s, said Dale Jorgenson, also of Harvard.Jorgenson sees Asian emerging markets as the most dynamic in the world, eclipsing other emerging market contenders such as Brazil and Russia with steady growth over the next decade.The rise of developing Asia is going to accompany slower world economic growth, he said.The United States will need to come to terms with the fact that its prevalence in the world is fated to come to an end, Jorgenson said. This will be difficult for many Americans to swallow and the United States should brace for social unrest amid blame over who was responsible for squandering global primacy, he said.MIT's Simon Johnson put it more bluntly, saying the damage from the financial crisis and its aftermath have dealt U.S. prominence a permanent blow.The age of American predominance is over, he told a panel. The (Chinese) Yuan will be the world's reserve currency within two decades.Johnson said he believes the United States has failed to learn its lesson from the financial crisis and continues to implicitly back its largest financial institutions.I'm concerned about the excessive power of the largest global banks, he said. Who are the government-sponsored enterprises now? It's the six biggest bank holding companies.To be sure, Raghuram Rajan, a former IMF chief economist now with the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, could still envision an ongoing U.S. leadership role.

Nothing proceeds in a straight line, he said, and there are many pitfalls along the way even for dynamic Asian economies. I would say the age of American dominance may be nearing an end. But America as the biggest mover will be in place for a long time,he said.(Reporting by Mark Felsenthal; Editing by Maureen Bavdek)

Brussels wants bondholders to help pay for bank failures
LEIGH PHILLIPS 07.01.2011 @ 09:11 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The public would be spared from further pain in bailing out banks in the future, with bondholders instead footing more of the bill under plans unveiled on Thursday (6 January) by the European Commission to give EU national regulators more powers to intervene ahead of any crisis.The EU executive outlined a series of ideas up for discussion that suggest bondholders should be forced to accept a haircut on their investments in a troubled bank or convert their bonds into equity.Reacting to high-profile banking failures during the economic crisis from Belgium's Fortis, to the crash of US investment house Lehman Brothers, to Icelandic banks and Ireland's debt-engorged Anglo Irish Bank, EU member states have chosen to bail out their banking sector, with private debt being shifted wholesale over to the public sector. Governments support for banks has amounted to 13 percent of GDP, according to commission figures.Capitals have since used the opportunity to impose sweeping austerity measures as a way to pay for the tab, moves that have proved massively unpopular amongst citizens who complain that they are paying the price of a crisis they did not create.The impact on taxpayers is obvious, the EU executive said in a statement, adding that the existing arrangements covering how to deal with such crises retained serious shortcomings.We must put in place a system which ensures that Europe is well prepared to deal with bank failures in an orderly manner - without taxpayers being called on again to pay the costs,said internal market commissioner Michel Barnier.

Under the proposals, which would see a so-called bail-in from investors, national authorities would be given the power to write down or convert debt into equity in the failing bank.However, out of fear of setting off fresh panic in the markets, the commission stresses that such measures would only affect future debt, with existing bondholders spared any such pain.It is not envisaged that such a power would apply to existing debt that is currently in issue, as that could be disruptive, it explained.Under the outlined proposals, national regulators would be given powers to react to brewing banking failures earlier on, including the ability to impose a replacement of management, force a bank to stop engaging in excessively risky activities, or require the bank to implement a recovery plan. Regulators could also be able to appoint a special manager, a Mr Fix-It parachuted in for a short period to run the firm.The commission also hopes to see the development of a framework for EU cross-border co-ordination in the event of future banking failures. During the crisis, cross-border responses to banking disasters have been ad-hoc, the EU executive worries.In the future, national authorities would co-ordinate their responses to ensure financial stability in all affected member states in order to achieve an outcome that best benefits the EU as a whole.The proposals are currently at the consultation stage, with fleshed out legislative initiatives not expected before the summer. They also focus only on banks. Similar measures focusing on insurance firms and other types of financial institutions are to be unveiled before the end of the year.However, markets were quick to react to Brussels' call on them to pay up, with interest rates on Portuguese and Spanish government bonds jumping.

After Lisbon announced it was to attempt a sale of between €750 million and €1.24 billion in bonds next Wednesday, yield spreads between Portuguese debt and German bonds climbed to 4.14 percentage points.Belgian rates also climbed to 4.05 percent for ten-year bonds, although analysts regard this as more of a reaction to the latest episode in the ongoing failure of the countries' Flemish and francophone parties failure to form a government. Johan Vande Lanotte, a mediator appointed by the king resigned, declaring: You can take a horse to water but you can't make him drink.A government coalition has yet to form since the general election, which tool place on 13 June last year.

EU and Israel at odds on how to lift Gaza siege
ANDREW RETTMAN 06.01.2011 @ 09:29 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Israel has said that a new EU-sponsored force could see the re-opening of Gaza crossing points. But the union's Gaza plan falls short of hard security guarantees.If you want to bring about a lifting of the closure around Gaza you should take responsibility and establish a strong, real and effective force to prevent smuggling there ... I can promise you that the minute the smuggling of arms into Gaza stops, the closure will be lifted, Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman said in a communique to press after meeting EU foreign relations chief Catherine Ashton in Jerusalem on Wednesday (5 January).Close co-operation between Israel and the EU can end the smuggling and terror against Israel, removal of the siege and even the release of Gilad Shalit, the communique added, referring to the Israeli soldier being held by Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza. The Lieberman statement appears to be a potential breakthrough for EU efforts to end the Gaza siege, imposed by Israel after Hamas took power in the strip in 2007.A contact in the Ashton delegation told this website on Thursday that it is difficult to see how the security force idea fits in with the EU's current offer, however. We have offered a three-pronged approach: help with infrastructure, equipment and training of Palestinian officials on the border, to help revive Gaza's economy and make sure we meet Israeli security concerns,the EU source explained. The contact said the union wants to reopen the Kerem Shalom crossing point on the Egypt-Gaza-Israel border, even though Hamas would prefer to reopen the Rafah crossing on the Egypt-Gaza border instead.

The Ashton delegation, which includes the European External Action Service's new Middle East chief, French EU official Hugues Mingarelli, is meeting with Palestinian leaders in the West Bank on Thursday.The trip was almost jeopardised by a pay-related strike in the Israeli foreign ministry, which has seen Russian President Dmitry Medvedev cancel an upcoming trip to Israel due to lack of protocol facilities.
Meanwhile, publication on Wednesday of leaked US diplomatic cables by Norway's Aftenposten newspaper has shed fresh light on Israel's Gaza policy.A cable dating back to October 2008 noted: As part of their overall embargo plan against Gaza, Israeli officials have confirmed to [US officials] on multiple occasions that they intend to keep the Gazan economy on the brink of collapse without quite pushing it over the edge.Another cable from 2007 said: The objective [is] to damage the Hamas government in Gaza financially without creating a humanitarian crisis, and to buy time for [rival Palestinian movement] Fatah to rebuild support.It added: The current closure of Gaza border crossings is not sustainable, with several thousand Palestinians currently waiting to enter Gaza through the Rafah crossing.Israeli analysts say the EU has in the past exaggerated the level of hardship endured by the 1.4 million Palestinians living in Gaza.There is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza - people are not dying of hunger. The tunnel economy means that the markets there are full of goods, Avi Melamed, an Israeli counter-terrorism expert, told EUobserver on a visit to the region in November.Mr Melamed estimated that there are around 1,300 active and inactive underground tunnels in Gaza. Around 200 are specialised in smuggling arms from Egypt. Another 200 or so are used primarily for smuggling gasoline, while many others are used as Hamas military bunkers underneath civilian facilities in Gaza itself in what amounts to a huge spider's web below the strip.

Iranian Threats of Revenge for Mordechai's Purim Massacre'
by Gil Ronen JAN 9,11

Iranian authorities have downgraded the status of the site known as the Tomb of Esther and Mordechai the Jews. They have removed an official sign at the mausoleum, in the city of Hamadan in central Iran, that declared it an official pilgrimage site. The state-run Iranian news agency Fars hinted that the fate of the site could be much worse. It said Iran has chosen to ignore, for the time being, the responsibility of Esther and Mordechai for the massacre of 75 thousand Iranians, which the Jews celebrate at Purim.Fars noted that Jews from the world over visit the site, including Israelis who possess additional, non-Israeli passports.According to the official Iranian news agency MEHR, a group of about 250 student-members of the Basij militia gathered in front of the tomb in December and threatened to tear it down The Basij members sent to threaten the landmark were students from Abu Ali Sina University. They said they were responding to alleged Israeli plans to damage the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem

Muslims, be aware that [the Israelis] have started the destruction of Al-Aqsa mosque while their second sacred site in Iran, the Esther and Mordecai tomb, is at peace and no Muslims make a sound, the protesters stated. We, the student basijis... warn Zionist regime leaders if they assault the Al-Aqsa mosque in any way we will destroy the tomb of these lowly murderers,they said.Mordechai and Esther, they accused, massacred 77 thousand Iranians in a single day. Some of them wore burial shrouds as a declaration of their willingness to die for their cause.According to a report on FightHatred.com, Iranian authorities have also taken to revising the history of Esther and Mordechai, teaching schoolchildren that the two carried out a massacre of tens of thousands of non-Jews, and that the annual Jewish festival of Purim is celebrated by Jews to commemorate this Iranian Holocaust.

Flights canceled, roads icy as storm hits South By DORIE TURNER and HOLBROOK MOHR, Associated Press - JAN 9,11

ATLANTA – A blast of winter weather rolled across the South on Sunday, coating bridges and roads with snow, sleet and freezing rain and causing thousands of flight cancelations.The governors of Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and Tennesseee declared emergencies for their states. By late Sunday, snow and ice had covered the ground in Atlanta and Birmingham, Ala., with 2 to 3 inches reported west and northwest of Atlanta.We don't have weather events like this," Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed said in an on-air interview with CNN. I think the amount of snow we're getting is probably a 10-year event for the city of Atlanta.Georgia was expecting up to 6 inches of snow in the northern mountains from the powerful storm that also dumped snow and ice in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. Forecasters said the front could also bring sleet and freezing rain lasting into Tuesday in Georgia.

Alabama Gov. Bob Riley said workers had readied snow and salt trucks to help clear icy roads, and he asked all residents to stay home Sunday night and Monday unless it is imperative that they have to travel.Mississippi officials warned motorists that ice was accumulating on roads and bridges in many counties, creating hazardous driving conditions.The National Weather Service posted winter storm warnings from east Texas to the Carolinas.The snow in downtown Atlanta was coming down heavily, coating sidewalks and streets. Cars were having trouble on the slippery streets and highways all over the South, with numerous slideoffs, though there are no immediate reports of serious accidents. At times, the snow was mixing with sleet around Atlanta, said National Weather Service meteorologist Robert Beasley.By Sunday night, snow was falling from Memphis, Tenn., to Birmingham, Ala., to Atlanta.Forecasters expected the most extreme conditions in Mississippi and northern Louisiana overnight with the possibility of heavy ice accumulation in places, including in the Atlanta metro area where snow was coating the ground.And since it's going to be pretty cold over the next few days, we could see whatever accumulates sticking around for a few days, said NWS meterologist Daniel Lamb ,Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas were expecting icy weather overnight. Around Birmingham, besides a few inches a snow, about a tenth of an inch of ice was also coating the roadways, the NWS said.

The storm forced Georgia officials to move Monday's inauguration of newly elected Gov. Nathan Deal from the state Capitol steps inside to the shelter of the House chamber. The inaugural gala was scrapped to keep supporters off treacherous roads.

Flash floods hit Australia's third biggest city
By Michael Perry - JAN 9,11

SYDNEY (Reuters) – Residents of low-lying parts of Australia's third largest city, Brisbane, sandbagged their homes against rising waters on Monday as torrential rain exacerbated record floods that have paralyzed the coal industry in the northeast and now threaten tourism.Prime Minister Julia Gillard insisted the cost of the floods would not delay a return to budget surplus in 2012-13, but J.P. Morgan predicted the disaster would crimp growth this year and could delay another increase in interest rates.Weather officials issued a severe weather alert, warning of flash flooding and worsening river floods in Queensland state's heavily populated southeast and the center of the country's lucrative Gold Coast tourist strip.People need to think about how to get out and if you don't need to travel, stay off the roads, said Police Chief Superintendent Alistair Dawson.The worst floods in 50 years, affecting an area the size of France and Germany combined, began last month and have severely cut Queensland's $20 billion coking coal export industry, starving Asian steel mills of coal and pushing up world prices.The floods have caused an estimated A$6 billion ($6 billion)in damage and economists say they will cut Australia's economic growth in 2011 and heighten inflation as food prices rise and reconstruction gets under way in the nation's second largest state.

With more rain falling it could be months before the floodwaters clear and the extent of the damage to essential infrastructure is known, said J.P. Morgan's chief economist Stephen Walters.J.P.Morgan on Monday cut its GDP growth forecast for 2011 to 3.3 percent from 3.7 percent, raised its inflation forecast to 3.8 percent from 3.2 percent, and pushed out the likely timing for the next interest rate hike to May from February.Even inflation-conscious RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) officials won't hike with Queensland under water, said Walters.Gillard announced more flood aid on Monday, but added the floods would not derail an expected return to a budget surplus in 2012-13.From the start of November we have seen extreme weather events in many parts of the country. The flood crisis is still emerging, so we don't know how many communities will be impacted by these floods, Gillard told a news conference in Canberra.But Gillard added: The Budget will return to surplus in 2012-13. That will require us to make some hard choices, and we will make those hard choices.

FLOODS TO HIT TOURISM

More than 200,000 people and more than 10,700 properties have been affected in the Christmas-New Year floods, which have killed four people.The weather bureau forecast monsoon rains would continue for the rest of the week, giving flooded towns little respite.The fresh heavy rains were causing flash flooding, quickly cutting off some small towns and flooding homes and businesses.The State Emergency Service advises that people in the affected area should avoid driving, walking or riding through flood waters, take care on the roads, especially in heavy downpours and avoid swimming in swollen rivers and creeks, said the Bureau of Meteorology's severe weather warning.A major concern now is the ground is so waterlogged the heavy rains are unable to be absorbed and full rivers, creeks and man-made watercourses are bursting their banks.About 116,000 megalitres of water a day was being released from Brisbane's Wivenhoe Dam, which may cause road closures, said local authorities. The heavy rains had also forced authorities to release water from other near-full dams around Brisbane and the Gold Coast, further exacerbating the floods.Queensland Tourism said the heavy rains and flooding would have a negative impact on the state's tourism industry but that it was too early to quantify the impact, adding areas around the Great Barrier Reef in the far north were untouched by floods.

The majority of the state's tourist operators remained open, it said, noting that while some roads and rail links were restricted, only one of the state's 20 airports was closed.There is a little cancellation coming through due to the perception things are not open and a little drop in day traffic from Brisbane, said Queensland Tourism's Leanne Coddington.

FLOODS PARALYZE COAL INDUSTRY

Floods have paralyzed operations that produce 35 percent of Australia's estimated 259 million metric tons of exportable coal. Australia contributes two-thirds of global coking-coal exports, needed to make steel.Global miners Anglo American, Rio Tinto, Xstrata and BHP Billiton, have all been hit by the floods, and all have made force majeure declarations, which release firms from delivery commitments.Flooding has begun to recede in the main Bowen Basin coal region, but many mines remain flooded and will take weeks to drain and resume full production. While some rail links between mines and the ports have resumed, others remain under water.Coal stocks were running low at the key coal port of Dalrymple Bay, but it was receiving enough to keep loading ships, while the port of Gladstone said it may be days to weeks before it starts getting coal supplies back to normal.All the systems apart from the Blackwater (rail line) are operating so we are just waiting for that floodwater to recede, said a QR National railway spokesman. When the flood waters come down we will have a good opportunity to have a look at what's underneath and see what the recovery will be.Roughly 8 percent of the world's thermal coal production -- used in power generation -- has been temporarily eliminated by the flooding, according to Australia & New Zealand Bank analyst Mark Pervan.Analysts expect steel coals to rise as much as a third to $300 a tonne in the aftermath of the floods, sweeping thermal coal prices higher in the process.Asian steel-makers are anxious over Australian supplies, worried the disruptions could outlast their stockpiles, which typically hold around a month's worth of consumption.In 2008, flooding stalled some mines for as long as six months, but others began producing within six weeks.(Additional reporting by Rob Taylor in Canberra; Editing by Alex Richardson and Dean Yates)

Flooding in Germany inundates roads, villages
– Sun Jan 9, 12:05 pm ET

BERLIN – Rivers in western Germany are overflowing their banks due to pouring rain and melting snow, flooding many roads and parts of several villages.Authorities in Rhineland-Palatinate, the worst-hit state, said Sunday the wine towns of Cochem and Zell along the Mosel River were partly inundated and dozens of basements had filled up with water.German news agency DAPD reported that the Rhine River had also dangerously swollen and many roads in the Rhine Valley were closed. Part of the city of Konstanz was inundated and commercial shipping was banned on the Rhine up to the city of Cologne.DAPD, however, quoted meteorologists in Trier as saying the swelling of the Mosel, a tributary of the Rhine, was not unusual and was likely to pass without causing major damage.
