READ WHAT I WROTE HERE AND WHAT STEVE CAROL SAYS ABOUT THE MIDEAST AND ISRAEL ON JOHN LOEFFLER-WOW MY SUM UP SOUNDS HAND IN GLOVE TO HIS RESULTS.THE CONVERSATION STARTS AT 33 MINUTES OF THE SHOW TO 1 HR 08 MINUTES.I GO BY THE BIBLE,HE GOES BY WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN IN THE MIDEAST.MY TAKE MAR 29,11 BELOW.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE THIS TIME THE NWO NOW HAVE THE EU ARMY TO ATTACK WHICH EVER COUNTRY DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT IDEAS.THEY CAN SANCTION THAT COUNTRY,THEN ATTACK WITH THE NATO RAPID REACTION FORCE LEAD BY THE EU.THIS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO THE EU AND ARAB COUNTRIES COMPLAINING ABOUT ISRAEL USING FORCE ON THE PALESTINIANS AND TELLING THE USELESS U.N. TO MAKE A RESOLUTION AGAINST ISRAEL IF THEY DO NOT DIVIDE JERUSALEM WITH THE PALESTINIANS,GIVING THEM THEIR OWN STATE,WE THE WORLD GOVERNMENT LEADER EU WILL SANCTION ISRAEL AND USE OUR NATO WORLD GOVERNMENT RAPID REACTION TROOPS AGAINST YOU.OR WE WILL GIVE YOU A 2ND CHOICE:WE THE EU WILL GUARENTEE YOUR SECURITY BY PUTTING OUR NEW WORLD ORDER TROOPS IN ISRAEL AND GAZA TO PROTECT YOU FROM TERRORIST ATTACKS FROM THE PALESTINIANS.LET YOU REBUILD THE 3RD TEMPLE ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT BUT NOT AT THE DOME OF THE ROCK BUT BY THE DOME OF THE SPIRITS.WE WILL PLACE OUR NATO TROOPS ON THE MOUNT TO GUARENTEE YOUR SECURITY SO USE CAN SACRIFICE TO GOD.BUT YOU MUST GIVE THE PALESTINIANS THE EASTERN HALF OF JERUSALEM AND THE LAND FROM THE 1967 TAKIN.WE WILL GUARENTEE YOUR SECURITY FOR A 7 YEAR PERIOD SO WE CAN FINALISE THE JERUSALEM HASSLE AND DIVIDE THE LAND BETWEEN YOU AND THE PALESTINIANS PROPERLY.

I BELIEVE WHEN NATO AND THE NWO TRY TO TAKE OVER SYRIA LIKE LIBYA.IT BACKFIRES AND NATO ENDS UP TOTALLY DESTROYING DAMASCUS BEFORE THEY FINALLY PUT THEIR PUPPET IN.OBAMA AND NATO WILL PROBABLY DO THIS WITH A FEW MIDEAST COUNTRIES TO GET THE BUGS OUT.MAYBE GO AFTER IRAN.BUT THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO TRAP(FORCE) ISRAEL INTO DIVIDING ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM UNDER THE NEW WORLD ORDER-EU'S CONTROL.AND THE MUSLIMS, RUSSIA, CHINA WILL ALL BE WORKING TO THIS END ALSO.

WELL NOW WE HAVE AND IDEA WHY THE ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT CREW WANTS THIS CHAOS IN THE MIDEAST UNDER THEIR NATO TROOPS TO RAPIDLY ATTACK COUNTRIES,END UP WITH THE OIL,PAY FOR THE ATTACKS WITH THE MONEY CONFISCATED FROM THE LEADER OF THE COUNTRY.GET RID OF THE COUNTRIES LEADER BY FORCE(FALSE FLAG)AL-QUIDA ARMIES AND INSTALL THEIR PUPPET LEADER.TTHE ULTIMATE GOAL IS CONTROL OR DESTROY ISRAEL LIKE GLENN BECK MENTIONED.

Israel to Become a Religious State in 19 Years
by Maayana Miskin APR 4,11

Professor Arnon Sofer, chair of Geo-strategy at the University of Haifa, has published a report predicting a religious majority in Israel by 2030.Professor Sofer sees this as a negative development.His study assumes natural growth of 6-7% in the hareidi-religious sector, which would lead to a hareidi population of more than one million by 2030. The national religious sector, which is involved actively in all spheres of Israeli productivity, is not given separate treatment, leading to a skewing of the predicted outcomes.In one possible outcome, says Professor Sofer, the secular majority would band together in time to create a secular revolution.If not, Sofer said, the second outsome would be the rise of a religious majority that would force the secular minority to learn to live in a religious world.A third possible outcome would be the annexation of Judea and Samaria, which Sofer feels would lead to the continued weakening of democracy in the face of anti-democratic forces, a Knesset that does not function, and growing anarchy.Sofer assumes that the hareidi-religious population would continue to have relatively low employment despite demographic changes and despite statistics that show a rapidly increasing enrollment of hareidi students in work training programs.As the hareidi population grows, so does the gap between the hareidi population and the rest of the country, and greater sums are necessary in order to close that gap. The difference in participation in the work force not only creates a complete dependency on the working class, but also a growing inequality, dissatisfaction, bitterness... among tax-payers, he declared.

Other changes Sofer predicted in case of a religious majority: a school system that teaches Torah, a justice system based in Jewish law (halakha), and the disappearance of many of today's popular entertainment programs. The changes would lead many secular Israelis to leave the country, he said.He called to prevent the scenarios he predicted by forcing all schools to teach democratic and Western values.If the decision-makers do not wake up, the Zionist vision will reach a tragic end with the people of Israel's return to exile, to again face anti-Semitism and assimilation, was his far-reaching conclusion.Professor Sofer has published similarly gloomy predictions in the past, including a famous 1987 claim that by 2000 Israel would no longer be a Jewish state. Israel maintains a strong Jewish majority of 80%, similar to the situation when Sofer's prediction was made.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

More customers exposed as big data breach grows
By Jonathan Spicer and Maria Aspan – Sun Apr 3, 7:27 pm ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The names and e-mails of customers of Citigroup Inc and other large U.S. companies, as well as College Board students, were exposed in a massive and growing data breach after a computer hacker penetrated online marketer Epsilon.

In what could be one of the biggest such breaches in U.S. history, a diverse swath of companies that did business with Epsilon stepped forward over the weekend to warn customers some of their electronic information could have been exposed.Drugstore Walgreen, Video recorder TiVo Inc, credit card lender Capital One Financial Corp and teleshopping company HSN Inc all added their names to a list of targets that also includes some of the nation's largest banks.The names and electronic contacts of some students affiliated with the U.S.-based College Board -- which represents some 5,900 colleges, universities and schools -- were also potentially compromised.No personal financial information such as credit cards or social security numbers appeared to be exposed, according to the company statements and e-mails to customers.

Epsilon, an online marketing unit of Alliance Data Systems Corp, said on Friday that a person outside the company hacked into some of its clients' customer files. The vendor sends more than 40 billion e-mail ads and offers annually, usually to people who register for a company's website or who give their e-mail addresses while shopping.We learned from our e-mail provider, Epsilon, that limited information about you was accessed by an unauthorized individual or individuals, HSN, also an e-commerce operator, said in an e-mail to customers on Sunday.This information included your name and e-mail address and did not include any financial or other sensitive information. We felt it was important to notify you of this incident as soon as possible.Citigroup customer names and some credit card customers' e-mail addresses -- but no account information -- were part of the data breach, the third-largest U.S. bank said on Saturday.The College Board, which administers the SAT admissions tests, on Saturday warned students about the breach and asked them to be cautious about receiving links or attachments from unknown third parties, according to two e-mails reviewed by Reuters.The not-for-profit organization is in contact with more than 7 million students, according to its website. It did not immediately return calls for comment.

PROBING FOR ANSWERS

Law enforcement authorities are investigating the breach, though it was unclear on Sunday how many customers or students had been exposed. Epsilon is also looking into what went wrong.While we are cooperating with authorities and doing a thorough investigation, we cannot say anything else, said Epsilon spokeswoman Jessica Simon.We can't confirm any impacted or non-impacted clients, or provide a list (of companies) at this point in time.Capital One, which also runs a bank, and Walgreens, the largest U.S. drugstore, said the Epsilon hacker accessed its customer e-mail addresses, but no personally identifiable information.TiVo, a maker of digital video recorders, said the information that was obtained was limited to e-mail addresses and clients' first names.The incident comes three years after hackers penetrated Heartland Payment Systems, a credit and debit card processor, in one of the biggest identity-theft cases in U.S. history.In that case, notorious hacker Albert Gonzalez led a ring that stole more than 40 million payment card numbers, and was later sentenced to 20 years in prison. On Friday, JPMorgan Chase & Co, the second-largest U.S. bank, and Kroger Co, the biggest U.S. supermarket operator, said that some customers were exposed as part of the Epsilon data breach.Citigroup announced that it had been affected on Saturday evening. Spokesman Sean Kevelighan said the bank started informing its customers of the breach on Friday through a link on its website.Some of Epsilon's other clients include Verizon Communications Inc, Blackstone Group LP's Hilton Hotels, Kraft Foods Inc, and AstraZeneca.(Reporting by Jonathan Spicer and Maria Aspan, editing by Maureen Bavdek, Diane Craft and Gunna Dickson)

Interpublic Facebook stake valued at $200-$300 million: report
– Sun Apr 3, 8:40 pm ET

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) – Advertising group Interpublic Group owns a stake in Facebook that could be valued at roughly $200 million to $300 million, The Financial Times reported.The exact size of the stake has not been disclosed, but people close to Interpublic say it owns slightly less than a half percent of Facebook, the newspaper said in its electronic edition. Interpublic paid less than $5 million for the stake in 2006, the newspaper said.Interpublic's stake of 0.4 percent would be worth $200 million, based on a Facebook valuation of about $50 billion, the newspaper said.Interpublic could not be immediately reached for comment.(Reporting by Jessica Hall; Editing by Dhara Ranasinghe)

Israeli Leftist Journalist to Head Netanyahu's Advisers
by Maayana Miskin APR 3,11

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has assembled a team to advise him in advance of the next national elections, to be held in November 2013. Likud spokeswoman Noga Rapaport explained that the team will help the Prime Minister with political-media strategy.The team will be headed by Orit Galili-Zucker, formerly a journalist with the radical left-wing Haaretz paper. She was adviser to Defense Minister Ehud Barak prior to the 2009 elections.Galili-Zucker recently accused Jewish leaders in Judea and Samaria of dealing in blood following the murder of five members of the Fogel family of Itamar. She accused the Yesha (Judea and Samaria) Council in particular of being devoid of rational arguments, full of messianic-spiritual rhetoric, and pathetically obsessed with measuring the number of inches and the smear of the pornographic color red in media reporting on the attack.She praised Netanyahu for quieting the settlers with measured building in response to the attack.The team's task will be to pull together the most up-to-date information on political campaigns for the Prime Minister, and to integrate a female point of view, which was missing until now, in the team accompanying the Prime Minister,Rapaport said.Netanyahu is remaining true to the standard practice in Western democracies, in which leaders begin to worry about reelection after completing half of their term, she added.

More Smuggling into Gaza Since Egypt Upheaval
by Gil Ronen APR 3,11

Since the toppling of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, the level of security and control over the Sinai has decreased, and there is more smuggling and a greater probability of terror attempts, the head of Military Intelligence, Maj.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi, told the Cabinet Sunday.Maj.-Gen. Kochavi gave a lengthy description of the recent events in the Middle East, their background and their implications for Israel. He said that the changes in the region were historical ones and will continue to affect the Middle East for years to come. For the first time, he added, Arab leaders find that they need to take public opinion into account. The current leadership in Egypt, as well as the top contenders for future leadership in the country, see strategic importance in the peace treaty with Israel, he determined.Hamas is the central force in Gaza, Kochavi said, but recently Islamic Jihad has gained strength. Hamas prefers to exert control over the [other terror] organizations through dialogue and not through force, he explained.Iran and the radical camp in the Middle East gained confidence at the start of the Middle East upheaval, but are now more worried about the dangers from home and are concerned that events in Syria could weaken a central link in the radical axis.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

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.

Engineers pin hopes on polymer to stop nuke leak By RYAN NAKASHIMA and MARI YAMAGUCHI, Associated Press - Sun Apr 3, 11:46 am ET

TOKYO – Engineers pinned their hopes on chemicals, sawdust and shredded newspaper to stop highly radioactive water pouring into the ocean from Japan's tsunami-ravaged nuclear plant Sunday as officials said it will take several months to bring the crisis under control, the first time they have provided a timetable.Concrete already failed to stop the tainted water spewing from a crack in a maintenance pit, and the new mixture did not appear to be working either, but engineers said they were not abandoning it.The Fukushima Da-ichi plant has been leaking radioactivity since the March 11 tsunami carved a path of destruction along Japan's northeastern coast, killing as many as 25,000 people and knocking out key cooling systems that kept it from overheating. People living within 12 miles (20 kilometers) of the plant have been forced to abandon their homes.The government said Sunday it will be several months before the radiation stops and permanent cooling systems are restored. Even after that happens, there will be years of work ahead to clean up the area around the complex and figure out what to do with it.It would take a few months until we finally get things under control and have a better idea about the future, said Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency spokesman Hidehiko Nishiyama.We'll face a crucial turning point within the next few months, but that is not the end.His agency said the timetable is based on the first step, pumping radioactive water into tanks, being completed quickly and the second, restoring cooling systems, being done within a matter of weeks or months.Every day brings some new problem at the plant, where workers have often been forced to retreat from repair efforts because of high radiation levels. On Sunday, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. announced it had found the bodies of two workers missing since the tsunami.Radiation, debris and explosions kept workers from finding them until Wednesday, and then the announcement was delayed several days out of respect for their families.

TEPCO officials said they believed the workers ran down to a basement to check equipment after the magnitude-9.0 earthquake that preceded the tsunami. They were there when the massive wave swept over the plant.It pains us to have lost these two young workers who were trying to protect the power plant amid the earthquake and tsunami, TEPCO Chairman Tsunehisa Katsumata said in a statement.On Saturday, workers discovered an 8-inch (20-centimeter) crack in a maintenance pit at the plant and said they believe water from it may be the source of some of the high levels of radioactive iodine that have been found in the ocean for more than a week.This is the first time they have found radioactive water leaking directly into the sea. A picture released by TEPCO shows water shooting some distance away from a wall and splashing into the ocean, though the amount is not clear. No other cracks have been found.The radioactive water dissipates quickly in the ocean but could be dangerous to workers at the plant.Engineers tried to seal the crack with concrete Saturday, but that effort failed.So on Sunday they went farther up the system and injected sawdust, three garbage bags of shredded newspaper and a polymer — similar to one used to absorb liquid in diapers — that can expand to 50 times its normal size when combined with water.The polymer mix in the passageway leading to the pit had not stopped the leak by Sunday night, but it also had not leaked out of the crack along with the water, so engineers were stirring it in an attempt to get it to expand. They expected to know by Monday morning if it would work.Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people are still living in shelters, 200,000 households do not have water, and 170,000 do not have electricity.Running water was just restored in the port city of Kesennuma on Saturday, and residents lined up Sunday to see a dentist who had flown in from the country's far north to offer his services. Many were elderly and complaining of problems with their dentures. Overhead and throughout the coastal region, helicopters and planes roared by as U.S. and Japanese forces finished their all-out search for bodies.The effort, which ended Sunday, is probably the final hope for retrieving the dead, though limited operations may continue. It has turned up nearly 50 bodies in the past two days.In all, more than 12,000 deaths have been confirmed, and another 15,500 people are missing. Associated Press writers Mayumi Saito, Noriko Kitano and Shino Yuasa in Tokyo and Jay Alabaster in Kesennuma contributed to this report.

Factbox: Japan's disaster in figures
– Sun Apr 3, 8:17 pm ET

(Reuters) – The following lists the impact of the earthquake and tsunami that rocked the northeast coast of Japan on March 11 and the subsequent crisis at a nuclear power plant.

DEATH TOLL

* A total of 12,087 people were confirmed dead by Japan's National Police Agency as of 1100 GMT on Sunday, while 15,552 were missing.

NUMBER OF PEOPLE EVACUATED

* More than 161,600 people were in shelters around the country as of 1100 GMT on Sunday following evacuation, the National Police Agency said.The government has set up an evacuation area around a quake-stricken nuclear plant in the northeast with a 20-km (12-mile) radius. More than 70,000 people lived in a largely rural area within the 20 km zone. It is unclear how many of them have been evacuated, but most are believed to have left.Another 136,000 people were within a zone extending a further 10 km in which residents are recommended to leave or stay indoors.

HOUSEHOLDS WITHOUT ELECTRICITY

* A total of 167,700 households in the north were without electricity as of 0700 GMT on Sunday, Tohuku Electric Power Co said.

HOUSEHOLDS WITHOUT WATER

* At least 200,000 households in eight prefectures were without running water as of early on Sunday, the Health Ministry said.

NUMBER OF BUILDINGS DAMAGED

* 45,777 buildings have been completely destroyed, washed away or burned down, the National Police Agency of Japan said as of 1100 GMT on Sunday.

IMPACT ON ECONOMY

The government has said it estimated damage from the earthquake and tsunami at 16 trillion to 25 trillion yen ($190 billion-$297 billion). The top estimate would make it the world's costliest natural disaster.The estimate covers damage to roads, homes, factories and other infrastructure, but excludes lost economic activity from power outages and costs arising from damage to the Fukushima nuclear power plant, as well as the impact of swings in financial markets and business sentiment.The yen spiked to a record high against the dollar after the quake, prompting the first joint intervention by the Group of Seven rich nations in 11 years to help shield Japan's export-reliant economy.Japanese shares have shed more than 5 percent since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, and a subsequent nuclear safety crisis, triggered the biggest two-day rout in the market since 1987. Japan's reconstruction spending will almost certainly exceed that of the 1995 quake in Kobe, when the government needed extra budgets of more than 3 trillion yen.The government may need to spend more than 10 trillion yen in emergency budgets for post-quake disaster relief and reconstruction, with part of them possibly covered by new taxes, Deputy Finance Minister Mitsuru Sakurai signaled on Thursday.

NUMBER OF COUNTRIES OFFERING AID

According to the Foreign Ministry, 134 countries and 39 international organisations have offered assistance. ($1 = 84.06 Japanese Yen)(Reporting by Kiyoshi Takenaka; Editing by Daniel Magnowski)

Former CIA officer blows lid off libya fraud live on CNN
The American Dream April 4, 2011

Every once in a while, establishment control of the mainstream media cracks for a moment. In an effort to achieve higher ratings, mainstream news programs will invite guests on that promise to be interesting, but then they will say something that is not part of the script and the entire system will go into a state of chaos for a moment. One example of this happened recently when two CNN infobabes interviewed former CIA officer Michael Scheuer about the situation on the ground in Libya. They asked Scheuer some questions regarding the role of the CIA in Libya, but the interview rapidly moved in some directions that the infobabes were not anticipating. Instead of sticking to the Republican or the Democrat script, Scheuer ripped both parties and he detailed many of the reasons why we should have never gone into Libya at all.The infobabes grew increasingly uncomfortable as Scheuer described how large numbers of the resistance fighters in Libya have fought against U.S. troops in the Balkans, in Afghanistan and in Iraq. They did not seem pleased at all when Scheuer declared that the civil war in Libya is none of our business and that to the rest of the world this conflict looks like Americans killing Muslims for oil all over again.The funniest part of the interview was when Scheuer accused one of the infobabes of carrying the water for Mr. Obama. After that statement, the female anchor that Scheuer was addressing was visibly flustered and quickly went to a commercial.

Video of this CNN interview with Michael Scheuer is posted below. This is a video that should be shared with everyone you know….

Wasn’t that hilarious?

When a big time establishment news network such as CNN goes off script it can be a beautiful thing to watch.Of course Scheuer was exactly right. We never should have gotten involved in the civil war in Libya. It was none of our business. When the rebels picked up arms and started shooting at government forces, they should not have been surprised when Gadhafi’s forces started shooting back.Over the past few decades, there have been some very real genocides happening all over Africa, but the U.S. never seemed to care about any of those.But now the mainstream media has been trying really hard to spin the civil war in Libya into a great humanitarian crisis.
Well, that might fool some of the American people, but as Scheuer aptly pointed out, the rest of the world sees this as just another U.S. war in the Middle East for oil (and banking).But instead of getting a balanced view of the war in Libya, most of the time the corporate media has focused on an endless parade of establishment Republicans and establishment Democrats that fully endorse the war. Of course the Republicans all try to score some political points by questioning how Obama is going about doing things, but in the end most Republicans and most Democrats are fully on board with what is going on in Libya.Nearly everyone in the mainstream media seems to be fully on board with this war as well.

Why?

Well, because virtually all of the major media outlets are owned by the establishment, and the establishment wants this war.Have you ever noticed that the news seems to have the same flavor no matter what channel you turn to? There is a very good reason for that.In an article that I previously authoried entitled Who Owns The Media?, I explained that six incredibly dominant corporations control most of the news that we see today….Back in 1983, approximately 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the United States. Today, ownership of the news media has been concentrated in the hands of just six incredibly powerful media corporations. These corporate behemoths control most of what we watch, hear and read every single day. They own television networks, cable channels, movie studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of our favorite websites. Sadly, most Americans don’t even stop to think about who is feeding them the endless hours of news and entertainment that they constantly ingest. Most Americans don’t really seem to care about who owns the media. But they should. The truth is that each of us is deeply influenced by the messages that are constantly being pounded into our heads by the mainstream media. The average American watches 153 hours of television a month. In fact, most Americans begin to feel physically uncomfortable if they go too long without watching or listening to something. Sadly, most Americans have become absolutely addicted to news and entertainment and the ownership of all that news and entertainment that we crave is being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands each year.

The six corporations that collectively control U.S. media today are Time Warner, Walt Disney, Viacom, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., CBS Corporation and NBC Universal. Together, the big six absolutely dominate news and entertainment in the United States.Yes, there are always some minor differences in news broadcasts, and in recent years we have seen outlets such as Fox News attempt to become the establishment Republican news and outlets such as MSNBC attempt to become the establishment Democrat news, but at the end of the day the kind of news that we get from all of them is pretty much the same.But sometimes there are moments when establishment control of the news crumbles for just a moment.Another example of this happened recently when Donald Trump made an appearance on The View. Not that Donald Trump is a huge rebel, but apparently he has not gotten the message that you are not supposed to question Barack Obama’s birth certificate on television.The following is video footage of Trump’s absolutely chaotic recent appearance on The View….

In the United States today, if you want to get into college or if you want to apply for a good job usually you have to give a great deal of information about your background and produce a whole host of documentation about your past. For many jobs, applicants actually must be willing to submit to a very thorough formal background check.Whatever you may think about Obama, you have to admit that what he has been able to accomplish is rather extraordinary. He applied for the most important job in the world, and yet he kept vast sections of his background a complete and total secret. He did not produce his birth certificate, he did not produce his Columbia University transcript (or much information at all regarding his educational background), there are quite a few years of his life that really can’t be accounted for at all and there are very serious questions about his Social Security number.Yet in spite of all that he convinced the American people to make him the president of the United States.That has got to make Barack Obama one of the greatest con men in U.S. history.Hopefully in the future a law will be passed or the American people will demand that all politicians disclose at least the most basic information about their backgrounds.For Obama to be able to get this far while keeping vast portions of his background a complete and total secret is absolutely mind blowing.In any event, it has been refreshing to see some cracks appear in the control of the mainstream news lately.Whether it is the war in Libya or whether it is Barack Obama’s background, the truth is that we should all be free to ask the important questions.Our founding fathers believed very strongly in freedom of speech for a reason. Free speech shines light in dark places and it holds people accountable. Free speech protects our freedoms and it keeps tyranny at bay.Free speech is very precious and it is easily lost. Once free speech is gone it is incredibly difficult to get back. Let us cling to free speech and cherish it deeply, because it is absolutely central to who we are as a nation.

Libyan envoy takes Gaddafi message to Greece
By Maria Golovnina - APR 4,11

TRIPOLI (Reuters) – A Libyan government envoy has begun a trip to Europe to discuss an end to fighting, but gave no sign of any major climbdown in a war that has ground to a stalemate between rebels and forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi.Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister Abdelati Obeidi flew to Athens on Sunday carrying a personal message from Gaddafi to Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou that Libya wanted the fighting to end, a Greek government official told Reuters.It seems that the Libyan authorities are seeking a solution, Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas told reporters, adding Obeidi was next due to due travel to Malta and Turkey.But there was no indication on what Tripoli might be ready to offer -- beyond a willingness to negotiate -- to end a war that has become bogged down on a frontline in the eastern oil town of Brega, while leaving civilians trapped by Gaddafi's forces in the west.

Underlining the plight of civilians in western Libya, a Turkish ship that sailed into the besieged city of Misrata to rescue some 250 wounded had to leave in a hurry after crowds pressed forward on the dockside hoping to escape.It's a very hard situation ... We had to leave early, said Turkish consular official Ali Akin after the ship stopped to pick up more wounded in the eastern rebel stronghold Benghazi.
Turkey's foreign minister ordered the ship into Misrata after it spent four days waiting in vain for permission to dock.It arrived under cover from 10 Turkish air force F-16 fighter planes and two navy frigates, Akin told Reuters.

STALEMATE IN BREGA

The U.N.-mandated military intervention that began on March 19 was meant to protect civilians caught up in fighting between Gaddafi's forces and the rebels.Neither Gaddafi's troops nor the disorganised rebel force have been able to gain the upper hand on the frontline, despite Western air power in effect aiding the insurgents.
After chasing each other up and down the coast road linking the oil ports of eastern Libya with Gaddafi's tribal heartland further west, they have become bogged down in Brega, a sparsely populated settlement spread over more than 25 km (15 miles).Yet Western countries, wary of becoming too entangled in another war after campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq, have ruled out sending ground troops to help the rebels.The United States, which has handed over command of the operation to NATO, said it had agreed to extend the use of its strike aircraft into Monday because of poor weather last week.But it has stressed its desire to end its own involvement in combat missions, and shift instead to a support role in areas such as surveillance, electronic warfare and refuelling.Stephen Dalton, the head of Britain's Royal Air Force (RAF), was quoted as telling Monday's Guardian newspaper that the RAF was planning to continue its operations in Libya for at least six months. He said Britain would need planes for a number of months rather than a number of days or weeks.The stalemate on the frontline and the plight of civilians caught in fighting or facing food and fuel shortages has prompted a flurry of diplomatic contacts to find a way out.Papandreou had been talking by phone with officials in Tripoli as well as the leaders of Qatar, Turkey and Britain over the past two days. Greece has enjoyed good relations with Gaddafi for a number of years.One diplomat cautioned, however, that any diplomatic compromise -- for example one in which Gaddafi handed over power to one of his sons -- could lead to the partition of Libya.That was a possibility ruled out by Western countries before the air strikes were launched.
Various scenarios are being discussed, said the diplomat.Everyone wants a quick solution.

REORGANISING REBEL RANKS

The rebels, meanwhile, are working to impose discipline among the ranks of their many inexperienced volunteers in order to not only hold their positions but push forward.If there were eventually to be a ceasefire leading to the partition of Libya, control of revenues from the oil ports, including Brega and Ras Lanuf to the west, would be crucial.The rebels named a crisis team with Gaddafi's former interior minister as their armed forces chief of staff, and attempted to stiffen their enthusiastic but untrained volunteer army by putting professional soldiers at its head.We are reorganising our ranks. We have formed our first brigade. It is entirely formed from ex-military defectors and people who've come back from retirement, former air force major Jalid al-Libie told Reuters in Benghazi.Without a backbone of regular forces, the lightly armed volunteer caravan has spent days dashing back and forth along the coast road on Brega's outskirts, scrambling away in pick-ups when Gaddafi's forces attack with rockets.In the west, Gaddafi's forces continued to besiege Misrata, shelling a building that had been used to treat wounded, a resident said, killing one person and wounding more.Misrata, Libya's third city, rose up with other towns against Gaddafi's rule in mid-February, but it is now surrounded by government troops after a violent crackdown put an end to most protests elsewhere in the west of the country.It is very, very bad. In my street, Gaddafi bombed us, said Ibrahim al-Aradi, 26, one of the evacuees on board the Turkish ship that brought the wounded from Misrata.We have no water, no electricity. We don't have medicine. There are snipers everywhere,he told Reuters.

After weeks of shelling and encirclement, Gaddafi's forces appear to be gradually loosening the rebels' hold on Misrata. Rebels say they still control the city center and the port, but government troops are pressing in.Accounts from Misrata cannot be independently verified because Libyan authorities are not allowing journalists to report freely from the city, 200 km (130 miles) east of Tripoli.Gaddafi's troops are also mopping up resistance southwest of Tripoli. Government forces shelled the small town of Yafran, killing two people, Arabiya television reported, quoting a witness. They also shelled the city of Zintan, a resident said.(Additional reporting by Renee Maltezou in Athens, Alexander Dziadosz in Brega, Angus MacSwan in Benghazi, Christian Lowe in Algiers, Tom Pfeiffer in Cairo, Joseph Nasr in Berlin, Justyna Pawlak in Brussels; Karolina Tagaris in London; Writing by Myra MacDonald; Editing by Kevin Liffey and Alison Williams)

US extends airstrike role in Libya through Monday By RICHARD LARDNER, Associated Press - APR 3,11

WASHINGTON – The U.S. agreed to NATO's request for a 48-hour extension of American participation in coalition airstrikes against targets in Libya and U.S. lawmakers cautioned Sunday the allies need to know more about the rebels fighting Moammar Gadhafi's forces before providing them with weapons.Two weeks into the assault on Gadhafi, Republican lawmakers expressed concern that a stalemate could leave him in control of portions of Libya and with access to stockpiles of chemical weapons.The U.S. is shifting the combat role to Britain, France and other NATO allies, but American air power is still in demand. Air Force AC-130 gunships and A-10 Thunderbolts and Marine Corps AV-8B Harriers will continue to attack Gadhafi's troops and other sites through Monday evening. These aircraft are among the most precise in the American arsenal.After Saturday, no U.S. combat aircraft were to fly strike missions over Libya unless NATO officials specifically asked and authorities in Washington gave their approval. NATO assumed full control last week from the U.S.-led international force for all aspects of the operation in Libya as authorized by U.N. resolutions that include an arms embargo, enforcing the no-fly zone, and protecting civilians from Gadhafi's forces.In an emailed statement, NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said Sunday that poor weather conditions over the last few days were the reason the alliance made the request. She would not elaborate. This is a short-term extension which expires on Monday,she said.A senior U.S. military official said heavy cloud cover over Libya late last week curtailed allied airstrikes. Gadhafi took advantage of the lull, pushing east into the port cities of Ras Lanouf and Brega, the official said on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military planning. The 48-hour extension is intended to roll back the progress made by Gadhafi's army, the official said.A decision yet to be made by the Obama administration is whether to arm the rebels with the firepower they need to take and hold ground against Gadhafi's forces.

Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said there may be strains of al-Qaida within the rebel ranks and that the coalition should proceed with caution before arming them.We know they're against Moammar Gadhafi remaining in power, but we don't know what they are for, Rogers said.Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid advocated a wait and see approach to giving the opposition forces weapons.I think at this stage we really don't know who the leaders of this rebel group are, said Reid, D-Nev.But Rogers also warned that if there were a stalemate in Libya, a cornered Gadhafi might resort to extreme measures against the opposition forces, such as the use of chemical weapons. Rogers said he has been to Libya and seen Gadhafi's chemical weapons.I think you have to worry that he's a terrorist threat, Rogers said.Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said the coalition needs to take the air war to Libya's capital where Gadhafi and his inner circle are located. Striking targets in Tripoli will further fracture Gadhafi's government and push the Libyan leader from power, he said.The way to end this war is to have Gadhafi's inner circle to crack, Graham said.The way to get his inner circle to crack is to go after them directly.Like Rogers, Graham said he's concerned over the prospect of a stalemate in Libya. A member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, he faulted President Barack Obama for putting the U.S. into a supporting role and shifting the main combat burden to Britain, France and other NATO allies.To take the best air force in the world and park it during this fight is outrageous,Graham said. When we called for a no-fly zone, we didn't mean our planes.Allied military operations against Gadhafi's forces began March 19 with missiles and bombs targeting Libya's air defenses, communications networks, and ground forces. Obama has ruled out the use of U.S. ground troops in Libya. But the opposition lacks the proper organization and equipment to push back Gadhafi's army on its own.

Sen. John McCain, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said failing to arm the rebels could allow Gadhafi to maintain control over large swaths of Libya.We are concerned that regional support will waver if Western forces are perceived as presiding over a military deadlock, McCain and Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, wrote Friday in The Wall Street Journal.We cannot allow Gadhafi to consolidate his grip over part of the country and settle in for the long haul.Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in congressional testimony on Thursday that as few as 1,000 among the rebels are former members of Gadhafi's military.The rest are simply guys with guns, said James Dubik, a retired Army three-star general who says they need American or NATO advisers and trainers to be effective. They need help, Dubik wrote in an assessment for the Institute for the Study of War, a think tank in Washington.In an interview taped Sunday for ABC's Good Morning America, former President Bill Clinton said he wouldn't shut the door to arming the Libyan rebels. But Clinton, husband of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was quick to emphasize that he was not speaking for the Obama administration.Rogers appeared Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press. Reid and Graham appeared on CBS's Face The Nation.Associated Press writer Robert Burns contributed to this report.

Latest developments in Arab world's unrest
By The Associated Press – Sun Apr 3, 3:48 pm ET

A look at the latest developments in political unrest across the Middle East on Sunday:

LIBYA-The vice chairman of the Libyan rebels' council tells AP that their goal is to set up a parliamentary democracy in all of Libya once ruler Moammar Gadhafi is overthrown. The new regime would not accept extremism and terrorism, he says, and vows not to negotiate with Gadhafi.

SYRIA-Hundreds march in a suburb of Damascus to honor demonstrators killed while protesting against the government. President Bashar Assad appoints a former agriculture minister, a respected academic, to form a new government in an effort to satisfy the protesters.

YEMEN-Security forces fire tear gas at thousands of demonstrators in southern Yemen demanding the immediate resignation of their president. About 200 suffer from the effects of the gas, and three suffer minor injuries. Women started the protest march, and men joined after police attacked.

OMAN-Authorities release 57 demonstrators detained during the last week in an attempt to calm protesters, out of more than 100 who were detained in demonstrations around the country pushing for more job opportunities and greater political freedom.

BAHRAIN-The government lifted its ban on the main opposition newspaper after the editor resigned. The one-day ban was the latest step in a crackdown against protests rocking the tiny, strategic island kingdom. The paper, Al-Wasat, was expected to appear again on Monday. Majority Shiite Muslims are leading the protests against a Sunni dynasty that has ruled for two centuries.

Strong earthquake hits off Indonesia's main island
By ALI KOTARUMALOS, Associated Press - APR 4,11

JAKARTA, Indonesia – A strong earthquake hit off Indonesia's main island of Java early Monday, prompting authorities to briefly issue a tsunami warning that sent thousands of residents fleeing to higher ground.There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.Following the tsunami warning, many in the town of Cilacap, closest to the quake's epicenter, poured into the grand mosque. When word finally came that the threat of a big wave had passed, they erupted in cheers, embraced one another or fell to their knees in thanks.We were very scared after seeing what happened in Japan — and also Aceh, of course, said Sukitno, a resident.But God listened to our prayers. He spared us! The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-6.7 quake that hit just after 3 a.m. was centered 200 miles (318 kilometers) off southern Java and 15 miles (24 kilometers) beneath the ocean floor.Both Indonesia and Japan are prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the so-called Ring of Fire, an arc of volcanos and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.A 2004 tsunami off Indonesia's westernmost province of Aceh killed 230,000 people in a dozen nations. Officials fear up to 25,000 may have died after last month's earthquake and tsunami in Japan.Associated Press writer Niniek Karmini contributed to this report from Jakarta.
