WOMAN DIED OF OVERDOSE NOT ISRAELI GAS

A New Phase of Globalization is Taking Shape in Beijing, Flag Planted on American Soil Activist Post January 20, 2011

The Red Dragon is roaring. The headline news over the weekend was that Chinese President Hu Jintao called the currency system a “product of the past.” Hu believes that Chinese currency will likely become the world’s currency within the not-to-distant future. On the heels of that announcement, a Financial Times article highlights the role that China already has within a new system of globalization; one that supplants the U.S. as a key trading partner at the hub of the global trade wheel.The world now awaits its new marching orders.

Here is a perfect summary of the current situation:Over the past few decades, China has benefited hugely by hitching itself to a process of globalization where the rules were written in Washington and the American consumer was the buyer of last resort. China prospered by making first the socks, then the washing machines and finally the iPods sold at Walmart.Now China is moving beyond cheap consumer goods to infrastructure such as power equipment. By supplying developing countries with the tools to grow, China is becoming a principal global investor. In so doing, it is entrenching itself as an engine of growth for the future, which has an added effect of laying the groundwork for its own currency to take a central role in the new relationships being developed.At the heart of China’s global initiative is China Development Bank; counterpart to the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank. However, unlike the private Federal Reserve, China’s investment bank is firmly under state control, not the other way around, allowing it to openly invest domestically and abroad, while integrating coherent government policy decisions. Its investment strategy is rooted in entering a market where they can buy up low-priced (financial) assets. Lucky for them, that is the very direction the entire global market is headed.

The fact that China is set to be the new global boss was confirmed by the White House red-carpet treatment and state dinner given to the Chinese head of state yesterday, culminating with Chinese flags planted along Constitution Ave. signifying the changing of the guard. The full outsourcing of the American Republic has been finalized.The world now awaits its new marching orders.

JAMES 5:1-3
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.

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
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.

REVELATION 13:16-18
16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth all,(WORLD SOCIALISM) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

Orban meets barrage of MEP criticism over media law
ANDREW WILLIS 19.01.2011 @ 17:33 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with an unprecedentedly hostile welcome for an incoming EU presidency in the European Parliament on Wednesday (19 January), with MEPs venting strong criticism against Budapest's new media law. Scheduled as a discussion on Hungary's presidency priorities for the next six months, the controversial media law dominated discussion and prompted a number of MEPs to display white banners with the single word censored.

In his introductory speech Mr Orban repeated the government's willingness to change the law if a European Commission legal opinion finds it to be at fault, but Socialist, Liberal and Green group leaders called for a complete scrapping of the legislation.Introduced at the start of this month, the contentious act establishes a media council to ensure balanced reporting, and requires all media types to be registered, including online media such as forums and blogs. The hour is grave, Socialist leader Martin Schultz said, singling out the media council's membership of government appointees as unacceptable.Others joined in. The aim of media governance is not to guarantee proper and adequate information, said Liberal leader Guy Verhofstadt. The aim is to uphold pluralism and to guarantee that any initiative in media can be developed. The loudest criticism came from Green group leader Daniel Cohn-Bendit. Today Mr Orban you are on the path of becoming a European Chavez, a national populist, he said, referring to Venezuela's controversial president Hugo Chavez. Do you think Mr Nixon got balanced information? Or Mr Bush on Abu Ghraib? Do you think Mr Berlusconi thinks research done on his life amounts to balanced information? No, information is to be a gadfly to politicians. That's why your law does not correspond with the values of the European Union.

The Hungarian government has vigorously defended the new media law since it came to public attention late last year, arguing it is vital to replace its predecessor which was designed under the country's former Communist regime.The law must be judged on its implementation, insists Budapest, but a range of group's including the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) have blasted it a priori as restricting Hungarian press freedom.Brussels is currently undertaking a legal review on whether the media act contravenes EU law, a judgement Mr Orban says he will follow, provided it is scrupulously objective and treats Hungary like any other EU member state.Analysts suggest Brussels' room for manoeuvre is limited, but commission president Jose Manuel Barroso has persistently talked up the political need for alterations, as well as potential legal reasons. You are certainly aware that the legal enforcement powers of the commission regarding fundamental rights are limited to cases where the member states act in the sphere of EU law, EU commissioner with responsibility for media policy, Neelie Kroes, told a committee of MEPs on monday night. Recent pronouncements suggest the commission may demand changes on the grounds that single market rules have been broken, including the EU's Audiovisual and Media Services (AVMS) Directive.Responding to MEP criticisms, Mr Orban said many of their interventions had been based on mistakes and misunderstandings on the Hungarian legislation. You can not go on offending the Hungarian people in this way, he said, prompting a fresh outcry against populist rhetoric from the anti-media-law euro deputies.

EU takes first steps on probe into Marty organ-trafficking report
ANDREW RETTMAN 19.01.2011 @ 09:24 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The EU's police mission in Kosovo, Eulex, has begun laying the groundwork for an investigation into claims that Kosovar Prime Minister Hashim Thaci is responsible for murdering Serb prisoners and selling their kidneys in the 1990s.Eulex chief prosecutor Isabelle Arnal and Kosovar deputy prosecutor Sevdije Morina met with Albanian counterparts in Tirana on Tuesday (18 January) to seek assurances that Albanian authorities would co-operate in the probe.It's the first meeting of this type and it's too early say [if Tirana will help out], a Eulex spokeswoman told EUobserver on Wednesday morning.She added that Eulex some three weeks ago sent a letter requesting hard evidence from Dick Marty, a Swiss politician who put forward the Thaci accusations in a report for the Council of Europe in December. We know he has received the letter but we don't know what he's going to provide, the spokeswoman said. Mr Marty on Tuesday broke his media silence in two conciliatory interviews with Albanian-language news agencies.Speaking to the Swiss-based internet agency albinfo.ch, he said: I know that seeking the truth can be painful, but it was never my intention to criticise or criminalise a community. He added: As far as [Kosovo] independence is concerned, I never opposed independence as such. I opposed and criticised it from a legal perspective ... the way independence was declared was not completely correct.

Speaking to Radio Television of Kosovo, he said: People very close to Thaci were implicated, so it is very difficult to imagine that he has never heard about it ... By no means I can imagine Thaci participating personally in taking out the organs.The Council of Europe is to debate his findings on 24 January. The European Parliament is also keen to cross-examine Mr Marty on the issue.For its part, the US-based Human Rights Watch has called for Eulex to appoint an independent, high-level special prosecutor who has experience investigating complex criminal cases and to launch a new witness-protection programme in order to handle the probe.Lotte Leicht, who runs the NGO's Brussels office, added that Western powers should use the opportunity to seek answers on what happened to 1,900 people, two-thirds of whom are ethnic Albanian, who remain missing after 1998 to 1999 war.While supporting a proper Eulex investigation into alleged KLA [Kosovo Liberation Army] crimes, the US and European governments should pressure Serbia to come clean on the fate of the missing, including bodies that were moved, destroyed, or reburied in Serbia, she said.Mr Thaci has on numerous occasions denounced the Marty report as a slander designed to blacken the name of Kosovar resistance fighters and to deligitimise the Kosovo state.

Netanyahu's Senior Advisor Chides TIME Magazine for Distortion
by Ron Dermer JAN 20,11

INN brought our own and CAMERA's responses to the biased, anti-Israel article that appeared in TIME magazine as soon as it was published last week. The Prime Minister's Office reacted as we did with this official rebuttal:A Response from the Office of Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu by Ron Dermer, Senior Advisor to the Israeli Prime Minister to Time magazine's managing director
Dear Mr. Stengel,I wanted to bring to your attention a recent article in Time entitled Israel's Rightward Lurch Scares Some Conservatives. I hope that you will agree that the article's obvious bias and numerous distortions are not worthy of the standards of your prestigious magazine.Israelis depicted in the article as essentially sliding towards fascism. Your correspondent refers to Israel's Shin Bet (the equivalent of the FBI) as a secret police, claims that the Israeli government increasingly equates dissent with disloyalty, and accuses the Prime Minister of taking a page from neighboring authoritarian states.

The evidence offered for these outrageous allegations includes a preliminary vote in our parliament that would require naturalized citizens to make a pledge of allegiance, a proposal to strip citizenship from Israelis convicted of espionage and terrorism, a motion to investigate foreign government funding of local NGOs, calls on Jews to not rent property to Arabs, and demonstrations demanding prohibitions of Arab boys from dating Jewish girls.But your correspondent did not find it necessary to inform your readers of a few facts.Oaths of allegiance are commonplace in most democratic countries, including the United States. Naturalized citizens in America swear an oath to its Constitution and to defend the country against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Israel's proposed pledge would require naturalized citizens to swear an oath to Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, words taken directly from our Declaration of Independence.Moreover, Great Britain, France, Germany, and Italy are just some of the many countries where citizenship can be stripped for various infractions that are defined as undermining national interests. Are these European countries not democratic? In the United States, Senator Joe Leiberman proposed a bill last year to add joining a foreign terrorist organization or engaging in or supporting hostilities against the United States or its allies to the list of acts for which United States nationals would lose their nationality. Is American democracy threatened by such a bill?

As for questioning the legitimacy of foreign government funding of Israeli NGOs, mentioning America's Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) may have presented a more balanced picture.FARA requires that any organization engaged in lobbying in the U.S. that receives money from foreign individuals, let alone foreign governments, must among other things register as a foreign agent with the Department of Justice and permit the Attorney General to inspect all of its activities.It is hard to imagine any democratic country accepting foreign governments intervening in its domestic affairs by funding domestic groups engaged not merely in criticism of a particular government's policy but also attacking the very foundations of the State.What would Britain do if the French government was actively funding a British NGO that sought to eliminate the monarchy? What would the United States do if the Iranian government was funding American NGOs pressing for a withdrawal of US forces from the Middle East? There is a vigorous public debate in Israel, including within the Likud party, over the best means to address the problem of foreign government funding of local NGOs. Proposals range from launching a parliamentary investigation to laws banning or restricting such funding to measures to ensure full transparency. Far from being a sign of Israel's slide toward fascism, the current debate in Israel is a testament to how vibrant our democracy truly is.

Finally, contrary to the implication of your correspondent, Prime Minister Netanyahu has publicly and forcefully condemned the racist sentiments that were mentioned in the article. For example, this is what the Prime Minister said at the opening of Israel's annual Bible Quiz to an audience of mostly observant Jews a few hours after he learned of the letter calling on Jews not to rent apartments to Arabs:There are non-Jews among the citizens of this country. How would we feel if someone said not to sell apartments to Jews? We would have been outraged, and indeed we are outraged when we hear such things in neighboring countries or anywhere else. Such statements should not be made, neither about Jews nor about Arabs. They must not be made in any democratic country, let alone a Jewish-democratic country that respects the moral values of the Jewish heritage and the Bible. Therefore, the State of Israel categorically rejects these things.Contrast this unequivocal condemnation by the leader of Israel to the Palestinian Authority law that mandates the death penalty for any one who sells land to Jews. Such laws are all too common in a Middle East in which Christians are persecuted, gays are hanged in public squares and women are stoned for adultery.In Israel, things are different. Here, we protect the rights of women, gays and minorities, including the 20% of Israelis who are Arabs, who enjoy freedom of speech and religion and the protections afforded by independent courts and the rule of law.Every decision in Israel is put under the microscope by one of world's largest foreign press contingents, the hundreds of human rights organizations and NGOs that operate freely here, a famously adversarial local press and most critically, by a vociferous parliamentary opposition.

Israelhas upheld its democratic values despite being threatened like no country on earth. In defending itself against wars of aggression, unparalleled terror campaigns and continuous promises to annihilate it, Israel has a track record on the protection of rights that would compare favorably to the record of any democracy, much less democracies under threat.Even in peacetime, other democracies enact laws that would be inconceivable in Israel. The Swiss ban on minarets and the French restrictions on headscarves passed in Europe, not Israel.One final point regarding media coverage in the Middle East. In 2000, after an Italian television station (RAI) was threatened by the Palestinian Authority for broadcasting the film of a Palestinian mob lynching two Israeli soldiers, RAI issued a shameful apology. Similarly, in 2003, CNN admitted to burying negative coverage about Sadaam's regime so that its personnel could continue working safely in Baghdad.I can assure you that no matter how biased and unbalanced your correspondents' coverage of Israel, they will always be free here to write whatever they want. Of course, Time is also free not to print it.Ron Dermer-Senior Advisor to the Prime Minister-Published first by TIME magazine, January 18, 2011(IsraelNationalNews.com)

It's Proven: Bilin Woman Died of Overdose, not IDF Gas
by Maayana Miskin JAN 19,11

An IDF investigation has found that Jawaher Abu Rahma, who PA leaders accused Israel of killing, actually died due to a doctor's mistake. The PA had claimed that Abu Rahma died after inhaling tear gas as PA rioters clashed with Israeli soldiers near the Samaria separation/security barrier.The investigation found that Rahma was not at the demonstration, but was in a house nearby. Initial PA reports had implied that she was at the demonstration; however, when pictures of the protest did not show her presence, it was then reported that she had been overcome by tear gas at home.

However, the IDF found that Rahma was not taken to a hospital during or immediately after the protest, but only later in the day.Once in the Ramallah hospital, Rahma was given unusually high doses of Atropine, a drug whose uses include countering nerve gas or speeding up a dangerously slow pulse. The drug apparently caused her death, investigators said.Documents received by the IDF also provided additional evidence for the theory that Rahma had been seriously ill prior to the demonstration, possibly with cancer.IDF commanders planned to meet last week with PA officials to brief them on the ongoing investigation. However, the PA canceled the meeting. PA leaders continue to claim that the IDF caused Abu Rahma's death, and to label the death a war crime.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Rabbis for Human Rights Accused of Inciting Violence
by Maayana Miskin JAN 20,11

Activists from the Shilo region in Samaria made their way to Jerusalem on Wednesday to protest outside the home of Arik Asherman, a Reform rabbi who heads the group Rabbis for Human Rights. The protesters accused Asherman of inciting violence in Samaria in the name of peace.Asherman and a small group of fellow activists often accompany Palestinian Authority Arabs when they attempt to farm near Jewish areas, or areas off-limits for planting. He plans to accompany PA Arabs in planting olive trees near the Jewish village of Adei Ad in Binyamin.Jews in the region say Asherman encourages PA Arabs to approach Jewish villages, where they often fight with Jewish youth. The leftist activists and the Palestinians came up here to fight with the Jewish residents, one resident said, referring to a fight last week near Shilo in which three Jewish youths and one PA man were injured.

We usually have good relations [between Jews and Arabs], but there are those who try to incite violence in order to make us look bad, he said.Another demonstrator criticized Asherman for planning to plant trees for PA residents on Tu B'Shvat, a Jewish holiday celebrating trees and the land of Israel. Even on a Jewish holiday, he goes to celebrate with the Arabs, he charged.Asherman told Arutz Sheva that we have a problem with the settlements... We need to end the occupation. However, Rabbis for Human Rights avoids politics, he claimed, promoting any peace agreement whether that means one state or two states or ten states, whether it means we evict all the settlers, or that they stay where they are.The theory that leftist peace activists actually encourage violence has been suggested before. During the 2009 olive harvest, civilian security chief for Judea and Samaria Shlomo Vaknin said the presence of pro-PA foreign activists was directly linked to Arab-Jewish clashes.
