DEUTERONOMY 7:7-8
7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people;(ISRAEL) for ye were the fewest of all people:
8 But because the LORD loved you,(ISRAEL) and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

ZECHARIAH 2:8
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

JEREMIAH 3:14
14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you:(ISRAEL) and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

ISAIAH 42:1
1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect,(ISRAEL) in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

ISAIAH 45:4
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

ISAIAH 65:9,22
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect (ISRAEL) shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect (ISRAEL) shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

ISAIAH 56:5
5 Even unto them (ISRAELIS) will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name,(ISRAEL) that shall not be cut off.

And here are the bounderies of the land that Israel will inherit either through war or peace or God in the future. God says its Israels land and only Israels land. They will have every inch God promised them of this land in the future.
Egypt east of the Nile River, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, The southern part of Turkey and the Western Half of Iraq west of the Euphrates.

StandWithUs Stands Up To Anti-Israel Protests in NYC
by Fern Sidman, INN NY Correspondent JAN 12,11

New York State Assemblyman David Weprin addressed the pro-Israel StandWithUs, contingent facing off anti-Israel demonstrators in New York City on Sunday by asking some simple questions. "What if rockets were fired at New York? What would the reaction of the United States be? Israel has the right to defend herself just as the United States does, and we are here today to support the freedom loving State of Israel in her continual battle for survival against those bent on wanton terror.
StandWithUs, the pro-Israel student advocacy organization, staged two counter-protests on the same day, countering hundreds of Hamas supporters and anti-Israel demonstrators assembled in New York's Herald Square and outside of the Israeli Consulate in midtown Manhattan.Spearheaded by Al-Awda NY - The Palestine Right to Return Coaliton, along with a litany of radical left offshoots such as the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network, American Muslims for Palestine, Siege Busters Working Group, Existence is Resistance, ANSWER - NY and the International Socialist Organization, the anti-Israel demonstrators marked the two year anniversary of Israel’s counter-terrorist Operation Cast Lead in Gaza aimed at stopping thousands of Hamas-sponsored rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.

Calling for an end to the occupation of Palestine and railing against IDF atrocities against civilians in Gaza, already-disproven by Hamas’ own statistics after the one-sided Goldstone Report, the demonstrators held aloft signs declaring, No US Aid to Zionist Racism and Murder!, Bring Zionist War Criminals to Justice! and Free Palestine.In the last two years since the bloody massacre on Gaza, the Zionist aggression has grown exponentially, with the backing of US imperialist forces, Ali Hussein, a spokesman for Al-Awda told the crowd.The US continues to block international bodies from pursuing the findings of war crimes during the attacks laid out in the Goldstone Report and we are here today to tell the world that our battle against the Israeli occupation forces will never end until the illegal and morally repugnant Zionist entity is defeated, he continued.Chanting, Free, Free Palestine and From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will be Free, a chant negating Israel’s right to exist within any borders, the demonstrators marched through midtown Manhattan to the Israeli Consulate where they continued their rally.
Countering the anti-Israel forces were overt 100 activists representing StandWithUs., who displayed two rockets that were fired from Gaza into Israel's southern towns after its withdrawal in 2005. Pointing to the rockets, Avi Posnick, the StandWithUs regional coordinator for the New York chapter said, These rockets are among the 8000 fired into Israel by Hamas terrorists in Gaza, and it is because of these rockets that Israel targeted the terrorist and weapons smuggling operations during Operation Cast Lead in December of 2008.Citing the fact that in 2010 another 235 Hamas sponsored rockets have fallen on innocent civilians in Sderot, Ashkelon and other Israeli towns, Posnick said that Despite all this, Israel permits tons of food and supplies into Gaza through its crossings every day - calling into question the incessant and baseless accusations that there is a humanitarian or hunger crisis in Gaza. If we want to talk about peace in the Middle East, we must confront the agitprop emanating from the Hamas propoganda machine that is taking place across the street from here and declare to the world that it is Hamas terrorism and incitement that represents an impediment to peace, not Israel.The pro-Israel demonstrators held signs saying, Israel: We Stand With You, Stop Palestianian Terrorism; Teach Peace, and Israel Wants Peace, Hamas Supports Terror. These signs are also part of the Say Yes to Peace campaign that StandWithUs launched to counter anti-Israel ads in Seattle and San Francisco.

Chanting Stop Hamas Now and Israel Wants Peace, Hamas Wants War, the StandWithUs activists continued their vigil until early evening and vowed to return to square off against others planning similar anti-Israel protests.Said David Ruchlamer of Brooklyn, New York who attended the counter protest,The facts on the ground are quite clear for anyone who has eyes to see. The Palestinian Authority refuses to acknowledge Israel as a Jewish state, so real and enduring peace is just not attainable. Israel cannot be compelled to make any further terriitorial concessions with an enemy who is devoted to its complete destruction.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

US Aid to Israel Not Worth the Real Cost, Researcher Says
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu JAN 12,11

Israel is paying through the nose for US aid and would better off without it, says a researcher for the Jerusalem Institute for Market Studies (JIMS).American aid to Israel to the tune of $3 billion a year has been maligned by many U.S. conservatives and by the Arab world, but Israel actually loses more than it receives, according to JIMS analyst Yarden Gazit.U.S. aid is a net loss for Israel and Israel would be better off without it, he concluded in his report, released on Wednesday.Gazit explained that the conditions for the military assistance are designed to help the American military-industrial complex at the expense of the Israeli defense industry.

One condition of the American aid to Israel is that three-quarters of the grant be spent in the United States. The buy US requirement causes Israel to buy defense products at a high price, sometimes even products Israel may not need,Gazit wrote. He calculated the loss to the Israeli defense industry at $600-750 million per year.
The use of American materials instead of those from Israel also hurts competitiveness in Israel and on the world market, according to JIMS. Not using domestic materials for the IDF hurts Israeli industry’s reputation on the international market and may cause a loss of sales, the report added.JIMS forecasts that if Israel does not forfeit the American aid, it risks losing out on the growing Chinese and Indian market for Israeli products. Those countries will be under pressure to shop in the United States in light of American economic problems and its bloated federal budget.Gazit also pointed out that Israel is forced spend more than $3 billion a year to retain a qualitative edge over Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan, which also receives massive aid from the United States.Every dollar granted to Egypt requires Israel to spend between $1.60 and $2.10 to maintain the balance of power, according to JIMS.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

REBUILT 3RD TEMPLE (THE EU DICTATORS TEMPLE)

ISAIAH 30:10-15
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

REVELATION 11:1-2
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

DANIEL 9:27
27 And he( THE ROMAN,EU PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:(1X7=7 YEARS) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3 1/2 yrs in TEMPLE SACRIFICES STOPPED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

REBUILT 4TH TEMPLE (THE TRUE MESSIAHS TEMPLE)

ZECHARIAH 6:12-13
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

ISAIAH 60:9-10
9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

ISAIAH 2:1-5
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

MARK 11:9-10,15-17
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

EZEKIEL 40 TO 48 IS THIS 4TH TEMPLE TO BIG FOR THE MOUNT I BELIEVE TO BE BUILT 25 MILES FROM JERUSALEM.

THIS CAMPAIGN WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE THE THIRD TEMPLE WILL BE REBUILT AND ISRAEL WILL BE SACRIFICING ANIMALS TO THE GLORY OF GOD(KING JESUS).

Brigitte Bardot Launches Anti-Kosher Slaughter Campaign
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu JAN 12,11

Brigitte Bardot, the former provocative French movie star-turned animal rights activist, has launched a campaign that would ban slaughtering procedures used by observant Jews and Muslims.Calling the religious slaughtering procedures Middle Age methods, her campaign includes distributing 2,000 posters in France, displaying the head of a cow and charging that religious ritual requires great suffering for animals.Christophe Marie, spokesman for 77-year-old Bardot, denied that the campaign is aimed at Jews and Muslims. He said the only objective is to protect rights for animals. France is home to approximately 600,000 Jews and more than five million Muslims.Kosher slaughtering requires that the animal’s throat be slit under the supervision of rabbis, who make sure that the knife is sharp and that the animals suffer as little as possible. The method has been defended as humane to animals, but animal rights activists claim that the animal first should be stunned, an act that would make it unfit for slaughtering under Jewish and Muslim law.

Several European countries, as well as New Zealand, have suggested banning kosher slaughtering procedures. The European Union officially requires stunning but allows exceptions for religious reasons.Switzerland has banned kosher slaughtering methods since 1893, and the method was banned under Nazi Germany until the Allied Forces' victory towards the end of World War II. Commercial kosher and halal slaughter is prohibited in Norway, but it can be performed privately for household purposes.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

EU considers increase of bail-out fund, as debt crisis rumbles on
LEIGH PHILLIPS Today JAN 12,11 @ 09:28 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Against a background of growing fears that the eurozone's rescue fund would be insufficient should Spain or Belgium knock on its doors, the European Union's economy chief has called for a hike in the effective lending capacity of the EU's bail-out mechanism. We need to review all options for the size and scope of our financial backstops - not only for the current ones but also for the permanent European stability mechanism too,EU economics and monetary affairs commissioner Olli Rehn wrote on Wednesday in an opinion piece in the Financial Times.

The commissioner issued the call after member-state representatives met in the European capital to discuss proposals to boost the fund ahead of a meeting of European finance ministers next week.Mr Rehn also issued a stark warning that for all the deficit-slashing austerity measures that European states have so far imposed, it is not enough.There is insufficient ambition and a lack of urgency in implementation. That needs to change, he wrote.The commissioner called for Europe to embrace structural reforms to bring an end to the debt crisis this year.He wants to see changes to tax and benefit systems, reform of labour markets and pension provision, a loosening of business regulation and more investment in innovation.This calls for a comprehensive response by the whole EU and for bold fiscal and structural measures in all member states, he said.He issued the call ahead of the unveiling of the European Commission's first annual growth survey, essentially a template with spending recommendations for EU member states, published as part of an effort to bring European-level coherence to national budgetary plans.On Tuesday, representatives of EU member states in Brussels also considered an increase in the effective lending capacity of European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF).

While the EFSF kitty amounts to €440 billion, as more countries become borrowers from rather than guarantors of the fund, the actual capacity of the fund currently sits at roughly €250 billion.Some governments favour a hike in the effective lending capacity to the full €440 billion, while others are looking to a doubling of the fund. But to do so would require further credit guarantees from eurozone states in a less precarious situation, notably Germany and France.No decision was taken ahead of a finance ministers' meeting next Monday, however.Member states are considering expanding the role of the EFSF to permit the common purchase of government bonds, an exercise which is currently the competence of the European Central Bank.According to EU sources, any decision on the matter hinges on the result of government bond auctions this week, particularly Portugal's trip to the market.On Wednesday, Lisbon is to attempt to raise up to €1.25 billion in 10-year bonds from investors. The yield on Portuguese debt has hit record levels in recent days, although the pressure eased off this week, most likely as a result of ECB purchases of government debt. Should the yield at auction be too onerous, Portugal is likely to ask for a bail-out.

On Tuesday, Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Socrates continued to insist his government was not in need of any assistance. Portugal won't ask for any financial help because it's not necessary, he said.Spain for its part on Thursday is to try to raise some €2.5 billion in five-year bonds.Also on Tuesday, Japan announced it was to buy a fifth of the eurozone's first bond issue.Japanese finance minister Minister Yoshihiko Noda said his government was to purchase more than 20 percent of a bond offering by the EFSF, to take place later this month.The move comes in the wake of an announcement last week by China to buy Spanish bonds.

Liberals suggest scrapping some EU institutions
ANDREW WILLIS 11.01.2011 @ 17:58 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The European Parliament's Liberal group has called for targeted spending cuts to the EU's common agricultural policy, together with the potential scrapping of several EU institutions. The measures are contained in a list of revenue-saving measures outlined in a Liberal position paper published on Tuesday (11 January), relating to the EU's future multi-annual financial framework (MFF), post 2013.Possible savings can be made by fundamentally restructuring certain parts of the EU administration, such as the Committee of Regions ... [and] abolishing the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) and others, says the document. The group also calls for the European Parliament's shuttling between Brussels and Strasbourg to come to an end through the creation of just one fixed seat, together with spending cuts for EU programmes whose aims have already been achieved or whose goals are dubious, such as support for tobacco production. In response, EESC officials stressed that their institution's budget is tiny, representing just 2.56 percent of the EU's overall administrative budget, and brings important added-value to the union's work. Europe's post-2013 financial framework has already proved contentious, with the battle set to increase this year.Leaders from Britain, France, Germany, Finland and the Netherlands sent an open letter to European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso last December, calling for any rise in the size of the post-2013 multi-annual framework to remain below inflation.Parliament's Liberals on the other hand want a redirecting of current funding, away from areas such as agriculture and towards the EU's 2020 strategy for growth and jobs.At the same time, more recently joined EU member states are calling for their EU farm payments to be brought into line with older members. Latvian farmers currently receive €98 per hectare in direct payments, while Greek farmers receive €580.An unofficial Latvian position paper on CAP reform, seen by EUobserver, calls for the creation of new upper and lower limits, under which per hectare payments would vary between €200 and €300, depending on farming costs and per capita GDP in a specific country.

Latvian centre-right MP Imants Liegis, in Brussels on Tuesday to speak to EU agriculture commissioner Dacian Ciolos, said Europe's poorest regions must be protected.Even if the CAP budget were decreased, we would hope that Latvian farmers would still receive increased payments,he said. Solidarity should also prevail in Europe's cohesion policy payments.The European Commission is due to come forward with formal proposals on the EU's next long-term budget and farm policy before the summer.

Eurosceptics fail to amend British bill on EU
ANDREW WILLIS Today JAN 12,11 @ 09:25 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - British Prime Minister David Cameron has survived an initial challenge from eurosceptic Conservative MPs who are demanding a more hawkish version of the government-proposed bill on the European Union. The bill - known as the 'referendum lock' - states that substantial EU treaty changes must first be approved by UK voters in a referendum, but Tory MPs who failed to secure a number of amendments on Tuesday (11 January) say the bill has been watered down to appease pro-European coalition partners, the Liberal Democrats. Conservative Europe minister David Lidington had earlier tried to allay rebel concerns, saying the legislation would shore up sovereignty and give ministers almost no wriggle room on the European question.Any future changes to EU treaties, however minor, will need to be ratified by a full act of parliament, Mr Lidington told the BBC. For the first time ever ... parliament has the final say in deciding whether EU law has effect in the United Kingdom.But rebel MPs argue that the government bill merely restates the current position, calling on Tuesday for an amendment that declares the sovereignty of the British Parliament in relation to EU laws. The call was rejected by 314 votes to 39.

Further proposed changes are to be debated by Westminster in the coming days, including a demand by some Tory rebels to ensure a referendum on Britain's EU membership be held if British voters reject an EU treaty at any point in the future.
The debate this week has served as a reminder of the British Conservative party's difficult relationship with the European Union, with party infighting plaguing the former leaderships of Margaret Thatcher and John Major in the 1980s and 90s. Mr Cameron surprised many by opting to pull his party out of the European Parliament's centre-right European People's Party grouping in 2009, shifting to an anti-federalist group instead, and since coming to power last year has persistently rallied against the EU's creeping budget increases.Washington has made it clear to London in recent years however that it wants its strategic partner to be a central member of the EU, thereby maximising its influence.China has also sought to lean on the UK to deliver its message in Brussels.International trade representative Gao Hucheng urged Britain on Tuesday to lobby for an easing of EU controls on high-tech exports to China. The 27-member union restricts high-tech exports to China, with Western business executives frequently complaining about what they perceive as inadequate intellectual property rights protection in the Asian powerhouse economy.

We hope our British colleagues can help urge the European Union to relax its restrictions on high-tech exports to China, Mr Gao told a trade forum organised by the China-Britain Business Council.Europe also restricts its sales of weaponry to China, following Beijing's brutal crackdown on anti-government protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989.Britain's member of the European Commission, Catherine Ashton, who also serves as the EU's top foreign policy chief, suggested in a major policy paper last month that the EU should ease the arms embargo.

Huckabee Leads in First GOP State Nominations for President
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu JAN 12,11

Solidly pro-Israel Mike Huckabee leads the polls for the Iowa caucus nomination of a Republican candidate for the 2012 presidential election. A survey by Public Policy Polling (PPP), which has connections with national Democrats, released a poll Tuesday that shows the former Arkansas governor, now living in Florida, a clear favorite in the Iowa caucus, which he also won in 2008.However, Huckabee has not stated if he will give up his popular and financially rewarding Fox News show to run for president.The second most popular candidate in the Iowa caucus is former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, followed by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. She is on the defense following what she calls a blood libel for alleged incitement that some liberal leaders argue might have been a factor in alleged assassin Jared Lee Loughner’s shooting spree last Saturday. He allegedly killed six people and seriously wounded Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who so far has successfully beaten the odds against her surviving and recovering, at least partially, from a gunshot to her head.

The next test after Iowa for Huckabee will be the New Hampshire state primary, scheduled for February 6. Huckabee has several advantages over Palin, one of them being his understanding of world affairs, especially in the Middle East, while Palin has shown a general lack of knowledge on foreign issues.Romney is trying to improve his foreign policy credentials with a current trip to the Middle East, including Afghanistan, Israel, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates, according to senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom. He plans to meet with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu when he arrives in Israel.Fehrnstrom stated, The purpose of the trip is not to conduct private diplomacy but to give Governor Romney a first-hand look at what is happening in an important region of the world.Huckabee has visited Israel several times and launched his campaign for the 2008 nomination with a tour of Israel, focusing on Jewish neighborhoods in parts of Jerusalem where the Palestinian Authority demands sovereignty.He frequently has said that all of the Land of Israel belongs to Jews and has pointed out that the Arabs have so many countries, they do not need another one.Huckabee spoke last month at the annual Beit El Dinner dinner in New York. Beit El is an Orthodox Jewish town in northeastern Samaria and is the home of the Beit El Yeshiva, headed by Rabbi Zalman Melamed.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Was Loughner In Love With Congresswoman Giffords? Gunman’s disinterest in politics fails to explain dangerous obsession that began several years ago Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Wednesday, January 12, 2011
http://www.prisonplanet.com/was-loughner-in-love-with-congresswoman-giffords.html

Now that the contrived idea that heated political rhetoric from conservatives has been rejected as a motivation behind Jared Lee Loughner’s tragic rampage in which Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was targeted, Loughner’s documented obsession with Giffords indicates that he may have been infatuated with the Arizona Democrat.We now know that 22-year-old Loughner was in contact with Giffords since at least 2007, having attended a Congress on Your Corner event and subsequently receiving a thank you letter from Giffords’ office that was discovered by police in a safe at Loughner’s home on which Loughner had scrawled Die Cops and Die Bitch, along with handwritten notes by Loughner stating that he had planned ahead and that the rampage was my assassination.According to a friend, it was Giffords’ treatment of Loughner at that 2007 event that first aggravated the young man who went on to attempt to murder the Congresswoman.Loughner’s characterization by those who knew him as someone who wasn’t especially political, indicates that his preoccupation with Giffords went beyond any of the issues in which she was involved in Arizona. Indeed, forum postings leaked to the Wall Street Journal confirm that,Mr. Loughner never mentions any political views explicitly, nor does he name any political figures.Why would someone with little interest in politics be so interested in meeting and communicating with a Congresswoman? Did Loughner have feelings for Giffords that were burned when Giffords supposedly mistreated him at the 2007 event?

It has now come to light that Loughner’s anger was fostered in part from being rejected by women. Messages posted on a gaming forum show that Loughner expressed his frustration with getting the brush off.On May 5, he started a thread titled Talk, Talk, Talking about Rejection. He solicited stories of rejection by the opposite sex. The next day he wrote, Its funny…when..they say lets go on a date about 3 times..and they dont….go… Three days later, he wrote, Its funny when your 60 wondering……what happen at 21.Since the tragic shootings, we have also learned that Giffords’ You Tube channel was subscribed to Loughner’s You Tube channel which contained his inane ramblings about mind control and his frustration with people’s use of language and grammar. This connection is made even more bizarre by the fact that Giffords is only subscribed to one other person, another Congressman, therefore her subscribing to Loughner’s channel could not have been an accident.

Unsurprisingly, Giffords’ subscription to her own attempted assassin’s You Tube page was scrubbed almost immediately after the shootings.Loughner’s obsession with Giffords is proven, and whether that was borne out of his frustrated feelings for the Congresswoman is sure to be explored in more detail as a clearer picture of the gunman’s motives emerges.

Poll: Americans Reject Media Hoax On Arizona Shootings

The establishment media campaign to crassly exploit the tragic Arizona shootings as a way to bludgeon the First Amendment and silence critics of the Obama administration has failed spectacularly, with even a majority of Democrats telling a CBS poll that violent political rhetoric was not to blame for the actions of a mentally disturbed madman.Within minutes of Saturday’s shootings and before the identity of the gunman was even known, establishment mouthpieces like the New York Times and MSNBC, backed up by statist blogs like Huffington Post and the Daily Kos, instantly seized upon the bloodshed to blame the events on tea partiers and what they termed violent right-wing rhetoric.This prompted leftist talking heads, enthusiastically backed by the Associated Press, to contrive a phony national debate about toning down the rhetoric, which as we explained, was a mere ploy to politicize the shootings to eviscerate free speech and dissent against big government.This agenda was made brazenly transparent by the actions of Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, who has been heavily criticized for giving a speech shortly after the shootings in which he accused irresponsible political rhetoric of conservatives, in particular radio and TV talk show hosts, for the murders of six people.

Even after it emergedthat shooter Jared Lee Loughner was a drug-using, Communist Manifesto-reading occultist whom his classmates had described as being left-wing, the effort to link the events with political opponents of big government continued unabated.Unfortunately for the architects of this national hoax, a clear majority of the American people just aren’t buying it.A CBS News nationwide telephone poll found that, 57 percent of respondents said the harsh political tone had nothing to do with the shooting, compared to 32 percent who felt it did.Even a majority of Democrats say that political rhetoric had nothing to do with the shooting.Among Democrats 49 percent placed no blame on the heated political tone against 42 percent who did. Among independents the split was 56 percent to 33 percent, CBS said.Amongst Republican voters, just 19 per cent blamed political rhetoric for the massacre, versus 69 per cent who rejected such a link.The fact that Americans are not buying the tone down the rhetoric ploy means that Target, Cupid, Fruit Punch, and other examples of violent hate speech will probably survive, at least until they are blamed for the actions of another mentally ill psychotic, clearly motivated by nothing other than his own inner demons.

Palin: When was it less heated? Back in those calm days when political figures literally settled their differences with dueling pistols?
Sarah Palin Wednesday, January 12, 2011

Editor’s comment: We are not fans of Sarah Palin, but almost everything she writes in this rebuttal is on the money.Like millions of Americans I learned of the tragic events in Arizona on Saturday, and my heart broke for the innocent victims. No words can fill the hole left by the death of an innocent, but we do mourn for the victims’ families as we express our sympathy.I agree with the sentiments shared yesterday at the beautiful Catholic mass held in honor of the victims. The mass will hopefully help begin a healing process for the families touched by this tragedy and for our country.

Our exceptional nation, so vibrant with ideas and the passionate exchange and debate of ideas, is a light to the rest of the world. Congresswoman Giffords and her constituents were exercising their right to exchange ideas that day, to celebrate our Republic’s core values and peacefully assemble to petition our government. It’s inexcusable and incomprehensible why a single evil man took the lives of peaceful citizens that day.There is a bittersweet irony that the strength of the American spirit shines brightest in times of tragedy. We saw that in Arizona. We saw the tenacity of those clinging to life, the compassion of those who kept the victims alive, and the heroism of those who overpowered a deranged gunman.Like many, I’ve spent the past few days reflecting on what happened and praying for guidance. After this shocking tragedy, I listened at first puzzled, then with concern, and now with sadness, to the irresponsible statements from people attempting to apportion blame for this terrible event.

President Reagan said, We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions. Acts of monstrous criminality stand on their own. They begin and end with the criminals who commit them, not collectively with all the citizens of a state, not with those who listen to talk radio, not with maps of swing districts used by both sides of the aisle, not with law-abiding citizens who respectfully exercise their First Amendment rights at campaign rallies, not with those who proudly voted in the last election.The last election was all about taking responsibility for our country’s future. President Obama and I may not agree on everything, but I know he would join me in affirming the health of our democratic process. Two years ago his party was victorious. Last November, the other party won. In both elections the will of the American people was heard, and the peaceful transition of power proved yet again the enduring strength of our Republic.Vigorous and spirited public debates during elections are among our most cherished traditions. And after the election, we shake hands and get back to work, and often both sides find common ground back in D.C. and elsewhere. If you don’t like a person’s vision for the country, you’re free to debate that vision. If you don’t like their ideas, you’re free to propose better ideas. But, especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible.

That is reprehensible.No one should be deterred from speaking up and speaking out in peaceful dissent, and we certainly must not be deterred by those who embrace evil and call it good. And we will not be stopped from celebrating the greatness of our country and our foundational freedoms by those who mock its greatness by being intolerant of differing opinion and seeking to muzzle dissent with shrill cries of imagined insults.Just days before she was shot, Congresswoman Giffords read the First Amendment on the floor of the House. It was a beautiful moment and more than simply symbolic, as some claim, to have the Constitution read by our Congress. I am confident she knew that reading our sacred charter of liberty was more than just symbolic. But less than a week after Congresswoman Giffords reaffirmed our protected freedoms, another member of Congress announced that he would propose a law that would criminalize speech he found offensive.

It is in the hour when our values are challenged that we must remain resolved to protect those values. Recall how the events of 9-11 challenged our values and we had to fight the tendency to trade our freedoms for perceived security. And so it is today.Let us honor those precious lives cut short in Tucson by praying for them and their families and by cherishing their memories. Let us pray for the full recovery of the wounded. And let us pray for our country. In times like this we need God’s guidance and the peace He provides. We need strength to not let the random acts of a criminal turn us against ourselves, or weaken our solid foundation, or provide a pretext to stifle debate.America must be stronger than the evil we saw displayed last week. We are better than the mindless finger-pointing we endured in the wake of the tragedy. We will come out of this stronger and more united in our desire to peacefully engage in the great debates of our time, to respectfully embrace our differences in a positive manner, and to unite in the knowledge that, though our ideas may be different, we must all strive for a better future for our country. May God bless America.

Floods turn major Australian city into ghost town
By JOHN PYE, Associated Press - JAN 12,11

BRISBANE, Australia – Inch by inch, block by block, floods consumed Australia's third-largest city, creeping across suburban yards Wednesday and streaming through downtown streets darkened by power outages and largely emptied of people.The waters poured into Brisbane, topping traffic lights on some streets, after marching across Queensland state for weeks. Roads shut throughout the city, and people moved about in kayaks, rowboats and even on surfboards. Boats torn from their moorings floated down an engorged river.Residents of the city's low-lying areas headed in the thousands for higher ground, while others chose to ride it out as the waters approached their expected peak early Thursday morning.Some neighbors in East Brisbane fired up a barbecue, put some beer on ice and starting grilling sausages while watching the water spill from a picturesque creek and creep up the gentle slope toward their homes.We're having a bit of a barbecue because we've got no electricity, said Bob Vilgan, an 80-something dressed like most of the neighbors in shorts, a T-shirt and sandals. The idea is to get everyone fed who is in with our crowd, have a few tiny tipples and get back home.The flooding, which has killed 22 people since late November, has submerged dozens of towns — some three times — and left an area the size of Germany and France combined under water. Highways and rail lines have been washed away in the disaster, which is shaping up to Australia's costliest ever.

With at least 43 people missing, the death toll is expected to rise. Many of those unaccounted for disappeared from around Toowoomba, a city west of Brisbane that saw massive flash floods sweep away cars, road signs and people. Twelve died in that flood alone.The toll has shocked Australians, no strangers to deadly natural disasters like the wildfires that killed 173 in a single day two years ago.One tale has particularly transfixed the country: a 13-year-old boy caught in the flood who told strangers to save his 10-year-old brother first and died as a result.Jordan and Blake Rice were in the car with their mother, Donna, when a wall of water pummeled Toowoomba on Monday. After the torrent of water knocked one rescuer over, another man managed to reach the car, The Australian newspaper reported. At Jordan's insistence, he pulled Blake out first, according to a third brother, Kyle.Courage kicked in, and he would rather his little brother would live, the 16-year-old told the newspaper. Jordan and his mother were washed away before the men were able to get back to them. By Wednesday, Jordan's name was among the top 10 most used terms on Twitter, as a wave of tweets hailed him as a true hero of the Queensland floods.

In contrast to the wall of water that swallowed Toowoomba, Brisbane's crisis has been marked by the waters' slow but steady progress.I was quite panicked after seeing Toowoomba, said Ali Cook, one of the neighbors at the East Brisbane barbecue. But it's been such a slow rise. It's still rising quite a lot.On Wednesday, emergency sirens blared across Brisbane as the floodwaters entered an empty downtown and began swamping neighborhoods.The surging, muddy waters reached the tops of traffic lights in some parts of Brisbane, and Mayor Campbell Newman said at least 20,000 homes would likely be damaged. Brisbane's office buildings stood empty Wednesday with the normally bustling central business district transformed into a watery ghost town.Police went door-to-door in some neighborhoods advising people to leave. Five evacuation centers were open with room for 16,000 people.The Brisbane River is expected to reach its height on Thursday, at a depth slightly lower the that of 1974 floods that swept the city. Bligh said the news was welcome, but of little comfort.This is still a major event, the city is much bigger, much more populated and has many parts under flood that didn't even exist in 1974, she said. We are still looking at an event which will cripple parts of our city.The waters have overwhelmed a dam built to protect the city after the 1974 deluge. Officials have opened the floodgates of the dam to prevent a greater disaster, contributing to the flooding downtown.Though the full extent of the damage won't be known until the water is gone, even before Brisbane was threatened, Queensland Premier Anna Bligh estimated a cleanup and rebuilding to total around $5 billion.

Add to that, the damage to economy: Queensland's coal industry has virtually shut down, costing millions in deferred exports and sending global prices higher. Vegetables, fruit and sugarcane crops in the rich agricultural region have been wiped out, and prices are due to skyrocket as a result. Water levels were expected to stay at peak levels until at least Saturday, but many people won't be able to access their homes for several days beyond that, Bligh said.Energex, Brisbane's main power company, started switching off electricity to some parts of the city as a precaution against electrocution. Almost 70,000 homes were without power across Queensland by Wednesday afternoon, Bligh said.Residents who had spent two days preparing took cover on higher ground while others scrambled to move their prized possessions to the top floors of their homes. Some stacked furniture on their roofs. Supermarkets, which had experienced a run on bottled water, food and other goods in the previous days, stayed closed on Wednesday.Darren Marchant spent all day moving furniture and other household goods to the top floor of his home, near the river in the low-lying Brisbane suburb of Yeronga. He and two neighbors watched in awe as dozens of expensive boats and pontoons drifted past.We were watching all kinds of debris floating down the river — one of the (neighbor's) pontoons just floated off, he said Wednesday. It was amazing.West of Brisbane, the city of Ipswich, home to about 15,000 people, 3,000 properties were swamped by the waters heading Brisbane's way, and 1,100 people had fled to evacuation centers, Mayor Paul Pisasale said. The floods also reached further into New South Wales, causing about 3,000 people to leave their homes there.In Ipswich, video showed horses swimming through the brown waters, pausing to rest their heads on the roof of a house — the only dry spot they could reach.

Major winter storm wallops Northeast
By Daniel Trotta - JAN 12,11

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The second major snow storm of the winter blanketed the Northeast and canceled thousands of flights Wednesday, battering parts of New England with nearly two feet of snow.The National Weather Service reported snow on the ground in 49 of the 50 states -- only Florida was spared -- and much of the South was still battling icy conditions that made roads dangerous and led to several traffic deaths.Thunder and lightning struck Boston and the New England states. Between 12 and 14 inches fell in the Boston area, and Accuweather.com meteorologists reported 22 inches of snow on the ground in Ridgefield, Connecticut.A snow storm will continue to bury New England today with fierce blizzard conditions toward the coast, creating nightmares for travelers and residents, Accuweather senior meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said.Financial markets operated normally, though volume on the New York Stock Exchange was slightly below average. Some Wall Street workers stayed in hotels overnight as a precaution.New York City's Central Park received 9 inches of snow, less than half the amount that fell in a post-Christmas blizzard that paralyzed the city and dented the popularity of Mayor Michael Bloomberg because of a substandard cleanup.Bloomberg declared a weather emergency late on Tuesday, but after observing overnight snowfalls, city officials determined that students could get to class and schools remained open. The declaration of a school snow day is a benchmark indicating the severity of a storm.Bloomberg really irked me last time with how long it took to get the snow cleaned up, said Jerry Lekovic, 46, outside a Manhattan coffee shop. But I got to give it to him, it seems like he's got his act together now and he deserves recognition for that.

The previous storm -- the sixth largest in city history -- overwhelmed the city by dumping 20 inches over 17 hours on December 26 and 27.As soon as I woke up this morning, my entire neighborhood was plowed, said Sherry McManus, 31. During the last snow storm, it took a good two to three days before I could even get my car out.Airlines canceled 1,700 flights at the New York area's three major airports alone. Delta said it canceled 18 percent of its flights nationwide.Snowfall ended in New York by the morning rush hour, but Boston and other areas north of New York were still getting hit.Snowfall of more than an inch per hour makes it difficult for plows to keep pace, and two to three inches per hour were seen in western Massachusetts, Connecticut, southern New Hampshire and Vermont, the National Weather Service said in a winter storm warning that was in effect until 8 p.m./ 0100 GMT
Passenger railroad Amtrak temporarily suspended service between New York City and Boston after a fallen tree damaged the overhead power system.In Philadelphia, about six inches of snow fell, enough to close school and strand 120 passengers at Philadelphia International Airport overnight. They were given blankets, pillows, snacks and water, airport spokeswoman Victoria Lupica said.(Additional reporting by Lauren Keiper, Kristina Cooke, Aman Ali, Bernd Debusmann Jr., and Jon Hurdle; Editing by Vicki Allen and Doina Chiacu)

Torrential rain, floods in Rio leave 58 dead
JAN 12,11

RIO DE JANEIRO – Authorities in Rio de Janeiro say 58 people have died in the mudslides and flash floods that followed torrential rain overnight.The mayor of the mountain town of Teresopolis just north of Rio says in a statement Wednesday that 48 people died, and more than 1,000 have been left homeless.Civil defense officials for Rio state say eight died in the neighboring town of Nova Friburgo, including four firefighters. An elderly couple died in Petropolis.The death count is expected to rise officials reach the steep mountain flanks and washed-out valleys in the region.
Rio's governor Sergio Cabral says he's called on the navy to lend helicopters to rescue workers.

18 die in floods, mudslides in Sri Lanka
– Wed Jan 12, 7:37 am ET

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka – Sri Lanka's government says five more people have died in widespread floods and mudslides, pushing the death toll to 18 from days of heavy rains.The Disaster Management Center says nearly 200,000 people, mostly in Eastern Province, have lost their homes because of the flooding. Most are now living in camps.It says most of dead either drowned or were buried in mudslides.Schools in several affected provinces remain closed.President Mahinda Rajapaksa was forced to abandon a trip Wednesday to survey the flood damage because of the bad weather.

Hezbollah and allies resign, toppling Lebanon government
By Laila Bassam - JAN 12,11

BEIRUT (Reuters) – Ministers from Hezbollah and its Lebanese allies resigned on Wednesday, toppling the government of Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri before expected indictments against the Shi'ite group over the killing of Hariri's father.Lebanese politicians had said on Tuesday that Saudi Arabia and Syria failed to reach a deal to contain tensions over the U.N.-backed tribunal, which is expected to issue draft indictments soon over the 2005 assassination of Rafik al-Hariri.The ministers resigned as Saad al-Hariri was meeting U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington.

The militant Shi'ite Hezbollah has denied any role in the killing. Its leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, has attacked the tribunal as an Israeli project and urged Hariri to renounce it. The Sunni Muslim premier has resisted Hezbollah's demand.
Clearing the way for the formation of a new government ... the ministers present their resignation, hoping that the president will quickly take the required steps for forming a new government, said Gebran Bassil, a Christian government minister speaking for Hezbollah and its allies.Stalemate over the tribunal has crippled Hariri's 14-month-old unity government. The cabinet has met, briefly, just once in the last two months and the government could not secure parliamentary approval for the 2010 budget.A U.S. official said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had talked to officials in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and France, seeking international backing for the tribunal.She's already been talking to the Egyptians, the Saudis, the French and others about having an international consensus about supporting Lebanon and ... the tribunal, a senior U.S. government official told reporters on Clinton's plane as it landed in the Gulf state of Qatar.

The official said Clinton planned to raise the Lebanon issue urgently with Gulf Arab leaders meeting there.Tensions over the tribunal have exacerbated existing rifts between Hariri, who is supported by Western powers and Saudi Arabia, and Hezbollah, backed by Iran and Syria.Analysts say the resignations could set the stage for protracted political turmoil in Lebanon, which has endured a series of crises since Rafik al-Hariri's killing, including assassinations and sectarian street fighting in Beirut in 2008.You definitely have increased rhetoric, but whether that is matched by a slip toward a bad security situation is not pre-determined, said Karim Makdisi, a teacher of international relations at the American University of Beirut.Bassil, the Christian government minister allied to Hezbollah, said Hariri had rejected demands for an urgent cabinet session to discuss Hezbollah's insistence that Lebanon withdraw all cooperation with the special tribunal.The grace period has ended, and the waiting stage that we lived through without any result has ended, he told Reuters.On Tuesday, Hezbollah minister Mohammad Fneish accused the United States of obstructing attempts by Riyadh and Damascus to find a solution. There were Arab efforts that gave us the chance to work positively... These efforts have not worked because of American intervention, he said.Political scientist Hilal Khashan said Washington had vetoed the Saudi-Syrian initiative and there was little prospect of a new government being formed quickly.

The Saudi-Syrian proposals were never spelt out by either country. According to a politician close to Hariri, they would have involved a Hezbollah pledge not to resort to violence if any of its members were indicted, while Hariri would ensure that any indictment was not exploited to Hezbollah's political detriment.Khashan said Hezbollah was unlikely to repeat the events of May 2008, when gunmen took over Beirut in protest over government steps against the Shi'ite movement, but he did not rule out demonstrations. The phenomenon of food riots is spreading in the Arab world, so the opposition may shield itself behind popular demands for combating inflation, he said.Beirut's bourse fell 3.22 percent in response to the political turmoil, with shares in market heavyweight Solidere, which has led the reconstruction of Beirut since the 1975-90 civil war, dropping as much as 8.0 percent.(Because) the agreement between Saudi Arabia and Syria was blocked, we have seen a sell-off, said Louis Karam, senior investment adviser at Arab Finance Corporation.But Marwan Barakat, head of research at Lebanon's Bank Audi, said that Lebanon's substantial foreign reserves and high levels of liquidity in the banking sector meant that it had a formidable defense line to protect its currency.

Talks could be West's last chance: Iran envoy
By Ramin Mostafavi - JAN 12,11

TEHRAN (Reuters) – Talks next week between Iran and major powers concerned about its nuclear program could be the last chance for the West because Tehran's atomic capability is improving, a senior Iranian official was quoted as saying.Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Tehran's nuclear ambassador, raised the stakes for the January 21-22 meeting with the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany, which want assurances that Iran is not trying to develop nuclear weapons.Once Iran can make its own fuel for a research reactor, which it has said will happen this year, it may not return to negotiations if the talks to be held in Istanbul fail, the official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying on Wednesday.It might be the last chance because by installing fuel rods produced by Iran in the core of the Tehran Research Reactor, probably parliament will not allow the government to negotiate or send its uranium outside the country and the Istanbul meeting might be the last chance for the West to return to talks.Soltanieh later told Reuters in Vienna: If the first fuel will be ready, goes to the heart of the reactor, then what do we need negotiation (for) ... therefore the other side should come to the negotiating table as soon as possible.Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has the ultimate say on its nuclear policy and diplomacy.

A similar round of talks concluded in October 2009 with a tentative pact for Iran to export some of its low-enriched uranium in exchange for fuel rods made from higher-enriched, 20 percent uranium to run the reactor which makes medical isotopes.But that deal, meant as a confidence-building step leading to further talks, unraveled when Tehran backed away from the terms, ultimately triggering a new wave of sanctions which some analysts say helped push Tehran back to the negotiating table.
Acting Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said on Saturday Iran would be able to produce its own fuel material for the Tehran reactor later this year, making any swap deal lose its meaning.

BLUFF?

Bruno Tertrais, Senior Research Fellow at the Foundation for Strategic Research in Paris, said Soltanieh's statement was largely bluff.In any case, Mr Soltanieh's argument is reversible -- we could always say it's the last chance for Iran, said Tertrais.When I say bluff, I mean I am not at all certain that Iran has the technical capacity to make the fuel necessary for this type of reactor, he said, echoing the general assessment of Western officials and nuclear experts.The U.N. Security Council has urged Iran since 2006 to suspend its uranium enrichment -- which yields fuel for nuclear reactors or, if done to a much higher level, for nuclear bomb -- in exchange for a packet of economic and diplomatic incentives.Iran is still awaiting replies from some of the countries it invited to tour its nuclear sites ahead of the talks, in what it calls a demonstration of its openness and peaceful intentions.Of the countries involved in the Istanbul talks, the European Union rejected the invitation and the United States was not invited, saying it was for U.N. nuclear watchdog specialists to inspect Iranian nuclear installations.That left only China and Russia as possible attendees from the six-power group. Russia said it was still considering the invitation [ID:nLDE70A0MN], and an Iranian delegation held talks on the nuclear issue in Beijing on Wednesday. [ID:nTOE70B06L]

Soltanieh told Reuters envoys from Venezuela, the Arab League, Egypt as chair of the Non-Aligned Movement, Syria and others would come on the planned Jan 15-16 trip.
Asked whether Russia and China would also be among them, he said: We are waiting, they have not said no. They have just said they want to study (the proposal) and tell us.Western diplomats do not anticipate a significant breakthrough in Istanbul, in view of Iran's refusal to even discuss enrichment, the overriding concern for the big powers.Tertrais said Iran had no interest in walking away from the negotiation process, rather in stretching it out.(Additional reporting by Robin Pomeroy and by Fredrik Dahl in Vienna; writing by Robin Pomeroy; editing by Philippa Fletcher)
