http://www.infowars.com/no-more-privacy-smart-meters-are-surveillance-devices-that-monitor-the-behavior-in-your-home-every-single-minute-of-every-single-day/
Have you heard about the new smart meters that are being installed in homes all across America? Under the guise of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing energy bills, utility companies all over the United States are forcing tens of millions of American families to accept sophisticated surveillance devices in their homes. Currently, approximately 9 percentof all electric meters in the U.S. have been converted over to smart meters. It is being projected that by 2012, the number of smart meters in use will rise to 52 million, and the federal government is spending a lot of money to help get these installed everywhere. Eventually the goal is to have these smart meters in all of our homes and if that ever happened there would essentially be no more privacy. Once installed, a smart meter monitors your home every single minute of every single day and it transmits very sophisticated data about your personal behavior back to the utility company.So can’t we just tell the utility companies that we don’t want these stupid things? Unfortunately, in many areas of the country you can’t. For example, one outraged resident of California contacted the utility company and was told that if he did not consent to taking a smart meter he would receive no service.So unless you want to live off the grid, what are you going to do? Can any of us really survive without electricity these days? The sad truth is that these things are being forced upon us.It is happening in Europe too. The European Parliament has set a goal of having smart meters in the homes of 80 percent of all electricity consumers by the year 2020.Sadly, as these smart meters have gone in there have been reports all over the country of electricity bills increasing dramatically. There have been mountains of complaints about these things and yet their use keeps spreading.But of course the biggest issue with smart meters is how they will strip us of our privacy.The concern is that the incredibly detailed data that these surveillance devices collect will be given or sold to a vast array of third parties.For example, smart meters are already being used by police to bust marijuana growers.It is also feared that insurance companies, credit agencies, lawyers, marketing firms and even criminals will be able to get their hands on this data as well.A recent article posted on the website of the Electronic Frontier Foundationsummarized some of the concerns….
Without strong protections, this information can and will be repurposed by interested parties. It’s not hard to imagine a divorce lawyer subpoenaing this information, an insurance company interpreting the data in a way that allows it to penalize customers, or criminals intercepting the information to plan a burglary. Marketing companies will also desperately want to access this data.For law enforcement officials, these surveillance devices are a dream come true.According to the Columbus Dispatch, police in central Ohio have been filing at least 60 subpoenas every single month for the energy-use records of those that they suspect are growing pot in their homes.Well, it turns out that sometimes police are raiding homes that are using a lot of energy and they don’t find any marijuana at all. Instead, sometimes these raids reveal others kinds of activities….Sometimes, high electricity use doesn’t lead investigators to drugs. A federal investigation in the Powell area turned into a surprise for detectives.We thought it was a major grow operation … but this guy had some kind of business involving computers, Marotta said.I don’t know how many computer servers we found in his home.So do you want police raiding your home if you start using a little bit too much electricity? Jerry Day, an electronics and media expert from Burbank California, recently detailed many of the ways that smart meters act as surveillance deviceswhen they are installed in our homes….
1. They individually identify electrical devices inside the home and record when they are operated causing invasion of privacy.
2. They monitor household activity and occupancy in violation of rights and domestic security.
3. They transmit wireless signals which may be intercepted by unauthorized and unknown parties. Those signals can be used to monitor behavior and occupancy and they can be used by criminals to aid criminal activity against the occupants.
4. Data about occupant’s daily habits and activities are collected, recorded and stored in permanent databases which are accessed by parties not authorized or invited to know and share that private data.
5. Those with access to the smart meter databases can review a permanent history of household activities complete with calendar and time-of-day metrics to gain a highly invasive and detailed view of the lives of the occupants.
6. Those databases may be shared with, or fall into the hands of criminals, blackmailers, law enforcement, private hackers of wireless transmissions, power company employees, and other unidentified parties who may act against the interests of the occupants under metered surveillance.
7. Smart Meters are, by definition, surveillance devices which violate Federal and State wiretapping laws by recording and storing databases of private and personal activities and behaviors without the consent or knowledge of those people who are monitored.
8. It is possible for example, with analysis of certain Smart Meter data, for unauthorized and distant parties to determine medical conditions, sexual activities, physical locations of persons within the home, vacancy patterns and personal information and habits of the occupants.
Jerry Day has also produced a terrific YouTube video in which he explains many of these points more fully. If you live in an area where these insidious smart meters are going in, then please share this video with as many people living near you as you can….The time to object to these smart meters is before they go in. Once they are in all of our homes it is going to be too late.This is all part of the radical green agenda that is being forced down the throats of people all over the world.
Everything that we do has to be watched, monitored and tightly controlled for the good of the environment.To the control freaks running things, that also means that the liberties and freedoms that we cherish so much must be greatly restricted.If you don’t know about Agenda 21, you should learn about it. The UN has a plan for the future of this planet, and once you find out about this plan you probably are not going to like it very much. The entire globe is rapidly becoming one big prison grid as the elite implement their vision of the future.If you want to get a really good idea of what they are planning, just watch this video.If the control freaks get their way, there will eventually be no more privacy for any of us.Unless we speak out now, the surveillance devices are just going to become more and more sophisticated. At some point, none of us is even going to be able to sneeze without someone knowing about it.
Bulgaria Rebuffs Israel, Won’t Commit to Voting Against PA State by Elad Benari JULY 8,11
Bulgaria, usually considered an ally of Israel, rebuffed it on Thursday when it would not commit to voting against the planned unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state.AFP reported that Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, who was widely expected to back Israel, remained noncommittal after meeting Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.The report quoted Borisov as saying during a joint press conference with Netanyahu,You will see when the vote comes, when asked how Bulgaria would vote on the bid for a Palestinian state at the UN’s General Assembly in September.He added that there’s still time, noting the PA had not yet tabled its statehood bid, and would only say Bulgaria was still conducting final talks within the EU on our position.We have always favored peace talks and understanding, Borisov was quoted as saying. Our categorical stance is that all sides should go back to the negotiating table to reach the necessary agreements for establishing peace. This will also be our position in the UN.Earlier, said the report, Netanyahu praised the spirit of great familiarity and friendship between Borisov and himself and the historical bond between their two countries.
Bulgaria is known for having refused to surrender the 50,000 Jews who were living in the country to the Nazi army during World War II, despite heavy pressure from Adolf Hitler. King Boris III of Bulgaria received a posthumous award for this last year.
The visits and bilateral meetings between Bulgaria and Israel have increased greatly over the past two years. Ten years ago, the two countries signed a free trade agreement.But Bulgaria has also come under fire for its stance during World War II. While the country refused to hand Bulgaria’s Jews to Hitler’s army, it did allow the deportation of Jews from Thrace and Macedonia, which at that time were under Bulgarian rule.Bulgaria has traditionally not spoken about this part of its history, and members of the Sephardic Jewish community have called on its government to reveal the truth of Bulgaria’s interaction with the Jews during the Holocaust.
Netanyahu’s visit to Bulgaria is part of a tour the Prime Minister has been making around European capitals to drum up support against the PA’s bid. On Wednesday, Netanyahu visited Romania, where Prime Minister Emil Boc said his country opposes the bid.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Beck to Tell Knesset: Work with Pro-Israel Media
by Elad Benari JULY 8,11
During his upcoming visit to Israel, American broadcaster Glenn Beck will address the delegitimization campaign against Israel and its effects on college campuses in the Diaspora, IsraelNationalNews has learned.Beck, who arrives in Israel on Monday, will address the Knesset’s Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Affairs Committee and speak about how the international media, with its biased anti-Israel reports, is a factor in the great anti-Semitism in the Diaspora, especially in college campuses.
He is also expected to tell the committee members that the Israeli Government needs to work very closely with media which is pro-Israel in order to stop the delegitimization of Israel.Beck has been a constant champion of Israel. He visited the Temple Mount earlier this year and has announced a Restoring Courage rally in Jerusalem on August 24.Earlier this week it was reported that Beck, along with MK Danny Danon (Likud), plans to ascend the Temple Mount as part of his visit. Danon is the head of the Knesset’s Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Affairs Committee, and will be co-hosting Beck’s visit along with MK Nissim Zeev (Shas).Israel National News has also learned that the idea to bring the pro-Israel Beck for a visit to the Holy Land first came up three years ago at the annual Ateret Cohanim dinner, when long-time Zionist activists Dr. Joe Frager and Dr. Paul Brody introduced Beck.After the introduction, Frager, who is also the long-time organizer of the annual Israel Day concert/rally in New York, suggested bringing Glenn Beck for a visit to Israel.
Frager and Brody, along with Odeleya Jacobs, have worked with several Knesset members on important projects to strengthen Israel’s image in the Diaspora and to stop the delegitimization of Israel in the media.Several months ago, they organized a visit to Israel by Former Arkansas Governor and possible Republican presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Skating on Entropy: Future Computers
by Gavriel Queenann JULY 8,11
Future computers may rely on magnetic microprocessors that consume the least amount of energy allowed by the laws of physics, Science Daily reports.It's not science fiction - it's your tomorrow.Or so says a team of electrical engineers at UC Berkely whose results were published in the Journal of Physical Review Letters earlier this year.Today's silicon-based microprocessor chips utlilize electric currents – moving electrons – which generate significant waste heat that must be dissipated. But microprocessors employing nanometer-sized bar magnets -- like itsy-bitsy refrigerator magnets -- for memory, logic and switching operations would theoretically require no moving electrons.Such chips would dissipate only 18 millielectron volts of energy per operation at room temperature, the minimum allowed by the second law of thermodynamics, which is also called the Landauer limit. In English: that's 1 million times less energy per operation than consumed by contemporary computers! Today, computers run on electricity; by moving electrons around a circuit, you can process information, explained UC Berkley graduate student Brian Lambson. A magnetic computer, on the other hand, doesn't involve any moving electrons. You store and process information using magnets, and if you make these magnets really small, you can basically pack them very close together so that they interact with one another.
Lambson is working with UC Berkeley professor Jeffrey Bokor of electrical engineering and computer sciences, to develop magnetic computers.In principle, one could, I think, build real circuits that would operate right at the Landauer limit, said Bokor, who is also a codirector for the Center for Energy Efficient Electronics Science. One of the center's goals is to build computers that operate at the Landauer limit, Bokor said, noting going lower would be impossible due to entropic effects.Even if we could get within one order of magnitude, a factor of 10, of the Landauer limit, it would represent a huge reduction in energy consumption for electronics, Bokor said.It would be absolutely revolutionary!
Back to the Future
Much like now-obsolete floppy disks, Bokor and Lambson are talking about magnetic storage -- but on a radically diminished scale and increased level of sophistication.
The nanomagnets that Bokor's lab use to build magnetic memory and logic devices are about 100 nanometers wide and about 200 nanometers long – only 20% the size of most household germs! But their north-south polarity – like a bar magnet – can be used to represent the 0 and 1 of contemporary binary computer memory.What's more, when multiple nanomagnets are brought together, their north and south poles interact via dipole-dipole forces -- increased margnetic attraction between the magnets -- to exhibit transistor behavior, allowing simple logic operations.The magnets themselves are the built-in memory,Lambson said.The real challenge is getting the wires and transistors working.Lambson has proven through calculations and computer simulations that the simple memory operation restore to one -- erasing a magnetic bit -- can be conducted at an energy dissipation rate very close, if not identical to, the Landauer limit.Because the Landauer limit is proportional to temperature, circuits cooled to low temperatures would be even more efficient.At the moment, electrical currents are used to generate a magnetic field to erase or flip the polarity of nanomagnets, which dissipates a lot of energy. Ideally, new materials will make electrical currents unnecessary.The magnetic technology we are working on looks very interesting for ultra low power uses, Bokor said.We are trying to figure out how to make it more competitive in speed, performance and reliability.But we have to figure out a way to put that energy in without using an electricity dependent magnetic field, which is very hard to do efficiently, Bokor explained.Bokor's research is being underwritten by the National Science Foundation and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Over reach and control of all the wrong people
Posted on July 7, 2011 by Laurie Roth
Everywhere we look these days we see freedoms swiped and draconian controls forced on the American people.
Where do we begin? Health care tentacle
Obama lead in forcing punitive and rationed health care on the American people, controlled by the IRS with threatening fines attached. This has yet to be destroyed and is a complete violation! If allowed, seniors will be deprived critical and timely care; Government approved health insurance will be forced or you face a huge fine; Doctors will be told what they are paid; abortions and illegal alien care will be paid for; taxes will be added everywhere and bank accounts will be monitored and controlled.
Smart Grid and sustainability tentacle
Then there is the privacy violating smart grid.This sneaky plan involves controls from your utility box at your house to a central Government controlled location. Smart Grid is being put into homes all over America now and most of us don’t even have a clue what has already been attached to our house. We are already being tracked from our computers, washing machines, stoves and air conditioners to a central office, which has an energy, sustainability agenda. They will just turn us off when they feel like it. Think of it. No heat, air conditioning, electricity or power if you are the wrong person or go over their defined line. It’s coming.
Creating illusion of security tentacle,
We have open and unsecured borders with a two hundred billion a year drug trade flying across our borders each year. A third of the people in our prisons are illegal aliens, while we have allowed 20-40 million mystery people living here without documentation. President after President has touched the surface of this then run away in cowardess before solving this dangerous problem.
We have TSA madness and pretend security
TSA apparently hopes that if they act real tough with Grannies, making sure their diapers don’t have terrorist poop in them, frisking the genitals of 3 year olds, grabbing a few breasts and groping their way through a good time, we will all have a safe and happy flight. Now the latest….a black lady who got on a plane from Sea Tac to Texas was pulled aside after she went through the radiation machine, why??? Because of her done up hair. They then groped, poked and messed up her hair. This is after she had already gone through the radiation, nudy machine. If the pervert/radiation machine isn’t enough to catch a bomb hidden in your hair then why are any of us walking through it? Since 9/11 we have seen Mom’s forced to drink their breast milk, Your Aunt Suzie have her bunions checked, and groping go to the absurd. Now, hair groping.There is real danger with Islamic radicals who intend to get a bomb on a plane. ABC News has talked of the push by terrorists to implant bombs in passengers that could be detonated and supposedly not be caught. There plans are to surgically implant these bombs in terrorists a day or two before a flight, then BANG your dead. This really is a danger for us all but what is a sane solution? Deny everyone their rights, expose everyone to radiation and grope private parts? No No and No.
The TSA has become but another control training tentacle of Obama, irritating us all but giving enough security in between the violations and over reaches that people don’t know enough to care in time that they are losing real security and freedom right in front of their eyes. We are being trained to expect less and less freedom and endure more controls.We must REALLY get a handle on Airport security by following the same principles and steps of the most successful airline security in the world, El Al in Israel. They don’t have terrorists or bombs get on their planes because they profile in a correct manner, ask real questions and do more security as needed when red flags come up. They are not persecuting Muslims but they do pay attention to known red flags, known terrorist strategies and dangers. They get the job done and offer safe flights every time because they are not stuck on stupid and playing the politically correct game of kiss up. This is the only way I believe we will have effective Airline security without violating every passenger and turning travel into a pervert show.
The tentacles squeeze slowly around our necks
Squeeze and betrayal of health care; squeeze and betrayal with smart grid, sustainability, environmental and land controls; squeeze of pretend airline security with TSA; wars in the wrong locations for global elite and energy reasons, welcoming terrorist groups like Muslim Brotherhood and ignoring border security while looking the other way on a 200 billion a year drug trade. It is most special and predictable for Obama.These tentacles are getting very tight around my neck. My eyes are starting to pop out. Someone please hand me the chain saw over there to cut this off my neck and do it by 2012 please.
Obama and his aids on top of the world – American workers in the toilet Posted on July 5, 2011 by Laurie Roth
Already in this campaign season we hear the usual boring and predictable rhetoric from Obama how he and the nation inherited this economic mess and unemployment nightmare. Bush this and Republican that. Even though Bush has been gone for several years now, all can be tracked to him, even your sore shoulder, pimples and hair loss. Bush and conservatives do everything wrong you know.America is in great pain. Our economy is still in huge recession, the housing market is as bad as the Great Depression and unemployment is soaring. Even the L.A. times is acknowledging unemployment at 9.1% Many other sources and various states report much higher figures, some double and some triple those numbers. On Fox news the other day Charles Krauthammer reminded us that we are showing unprecedented unemployment. In fact, one out of every six Americans is not only unemployed but many have been unemployed for 6 months or longer. He points out how this is unheard of in America but more common in Europe. In the Bush years it took an average of five weeks to get a new job. Now we are talking 6 months or more. Krauthammer ominously states that the unemployed middle class may never get another job. We have a nation of growing and rich, Political and global elites and increasingly poor worker bees. That is the classic Obama, socialist/communist plan.
It gets better
This week the liberal leaning L.A. Times pointed out the great shape Obama’s staff and aides are in. Andrew Malcolm wrote a great piece and talked of Obama’s 454 White House aides bringing in a whopping $37,121,463 a year in salary. Isn’t that precious? This is while we hear the endless economy, empathy speeches by the President, acknowledging our economic mess and unemployment.One in three Obama aids earn more than 100,000 a year. This is significantly up from Bush’s aid count and salary norms. Apparently 21 of Obama’s aids are superstars in these suffering and difficult times. They earn $172,200 each. Shall we take a collection for them? As unemployment numbers go up, housing and retail goes to hell, and 1 in 6 has been unemployed, many for 6 months or more, this President is gearing up his Saul Alinsky blame fest against conservatives and Bush…..AGAIN.Obama apparently thinks that when you hit a baseball and it goes flying through your neighbors window, glass flying everywhere, it is the window and houses fault for being in the way. Let the American demolition continue.I think not! Let’s kick him and all the other anti American, progressive leftists out in 2012.
About The Ongoing Iranian Missile Tests…
June 30, 2011 By Sean Osborne by Sean Osborne
UPDATE 2: 3 July 2011: An article authored by James Lewis entitled Obama’s Final Solution published this morning at AmericanThinker.com will serve readers of this assessment very well as a big picture presentation which should leave no doubt, if doubt we possible given the content of the original article and the first update, about the soon-to-be-realized fact that a major Middle Eastern war between Israel and its Arab and Persian enemies is precisely the objective of the current administration occupying the White House. In driving toward this objective the White House is risking anything and everything, including the rampant use of real weapons of mass destruction and the resultant deaths of tens of thousands, in order to achieve the destruction of the State of Israel.
The danger posed to what is
left of this Constitutional Republic by this administration’s agenda cannot be emphasized strongly enough. It is up to those real, natural born American patriots in postions of power and responsibility to execute the requirements of their Oath’s to the Constitution; to do all within their ability to preempt this agenda before it is too late. Short of making the ultimate sacrifice as thousands of our soldiers have voluntarily done in the past 9 years, it is now YOU who owe nothing less to the current and succeeding generation of We The People. So help you God.UPDATE: 2 July 2011: It has come to my attention over the past 24 hours that the series of recent resignations of high Israel government officials were all directly related to the issues addessed in my assessment on the nearly completed Iranian development of nuclear weapons and the ballistic missile systems designed specifically to place those weapons on American and Israeli targets.Yesterday, the day after my assessment was posted here, FrontPageMag.Com published a key MUST READ article by P. David Hornik entitled Israel’s Palace War Over Iran which began with this sentence: Over the past few months, much of Israel’s top security brass has stepped down—the chief of staff (Gabi Ashkenazi), the head of military intelligence (Amos Yadlin), the head of the Mossad (Meir Dagan), and the head of the Shin Bet or internal security (Yuval Diskin).I absolutely agree with Mr. Hornik on the real reasons for these resignations: all of the officials were sent packing for their failure to execute their responsibilities in crafting a credible Israeli military response to remove the Isranian nuclear threat should the US and other international powers fail to resolve that issue to the benefit of the entire world.Mr. Hornik’s article also prominently cited another key MUST READ article confirming the reasons for these resignations by Aluf Benn in his Haaretz-published article (Israel’s defense chiefs failed in deterring Iran). According to Mr. Benn, the above named former Israeli officials embarked on a foiling action, not against Iran but against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
That would be like their American counterparts acting against our president and his secretary of state regarding a coherent deterrent policy on Iranian nuclear development. Interestingly enough, we also have some key resignations going on. And Iran still has their nukes and the missiles with which to deliver them. Hopefully in the future there will be quality historians around to leave a accurate records of these events from which future generations might learn.30 June 2010: For quite a few years now I’ve watched and kept track of OSINT reports regarding Iran’s development-in-depth of numerous ballistic missile systems. Just for reference sake you can read them HERE, HERE and HERE.My assessment has always held that there is only one purpose for such development – placing a nuclear warhead onto a distant target. Recently the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) told us point blank what has always been assumed, that being the Iranian warhead’s targets are American military bases and Israeli cities. The difference between my earlier assessments on Iranian nuclear missile capabilities then and now is that now iran can launch these missiles from hardened siloes with little or no warning. Within a day of the IRGC announcement British Foreign Secretary William Hague publicly confirmed the secret nature of the testing as well as the testing in the ongoing “Great Prophet Six exercises the IRGC is executing.Have you heard or read anything of a similar nature coming from Foreign Secretary Hague’s American counterpart, SECSTATE Hillary Clinton? How about a word from her boss in the White House? That’s right, you’ve gotten exactly zero, zip, nada from them about this. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find a single American corporate news article on this subject or Foreign Secretary Hague’s accusations. Instead the White House and the U.S. State Department have been downplaying the accelerating Iranian regime’s progress in the field of precipitating a non-existent al-Mahdi-hastening Armageddon scenario. Yet at her SECSTATE swearing in ceremony Hillary Clinton was keen to lecture those in attendance how we’re going to have to be smarter about how we do what we must for our country.As for Barry Soetoro, his most recent State of the Union address did not have so much as a single mention of the Iranian threat. Iraq, Al Qaeda, Afghanistan, Pakistan and North Korea all merited a mention, but not Iran. My best guess is that he doesn’t see the Iranian threat as a problem in need of fixing. Well, so much for Barry’s defeating determined enemies wherever they are comment in that address. I guess Iran is one very real threat that Barry has missed altogether. Would somebody please bring his morning briefer up to speed. Thanks in advance.
Obama’s ineligibility: A Congress of cowards
- Lawrence Sellin Thursday, July 7, 2011
imageWhile American military personnel are risking their lives in foreign wars, Congressional fat cats are at home betraying our country.If members of Congress show up downrange for their combat zone photo opportunities, I think the soldiers should refuse to meet with them.Why would honorable men and women tarnish their reputations by shaking hands with Congressional phonies and weaklings? I heard from a reliable source that members of Congress have said that they are afraid to challenge Barack Obama because black Americans will riot.Yes, of course. All black Americans are mindless, lawless thugs. Isn’t that Congressional conclusion, well, racist? And isn’t toleration of lawlessness by a President a Congressional signal to all that the rule of law has been downgraded to negotiable recommendations? There will always be people, who don’t need much incentive to break the law. And those people should get their butts kicked, starting with Congress.The U.S. Military Academy at West Point has a Cadet Honor Code, which simply states:A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) and Representatives Geoff Davis (R-KY), Brett Guthrie (R-KY), Mike Pompeo (R-KN) and John Shimkus (R-IL) are all graduates of West Point.If they also tolerate those, who violate our Constitution and commit federal crimes, then there is little hope that Congressional integrity can be salvaged.
Americans are increasingly aware that Congress has become an institution dedicated to lying, cheating and stealing.Our cowardly Congress, however, may soon be overtaken by events and be taken over by very angry citizens.The United States District Court for the District of Hawaii issued and served a subpoena on July 5, 2011 to the director of the Hawaii Health Department for the:original 1961 typewritten birth certificate #10641 for Barack Obama, III [sic] issued 08.08.1961, signed by Dr. David Sinclair, Stanley Ann Dunham Obama and registrar Lee, stored in the Health Department of the State of HI from 08081961 until now.On April 27, 2011, the White House released what it claimed was a certified copy of Obama’s long-form birth certificate. Numerous document examiners, typesetting experts, and graphics consultants have come forward to state in formal presentations and reports that the image presented to the public is a poor forgery.There may also have been a violation of federal law – 2 U.S.C. §166(d)(1) – that the Congressional Research Service (CRS) perform its duties without partisan bias.From all appearances, the April 3, 2009 CRS Jack Maskell Memorandum (CRS Memo) addressing presidential eligibility, intentionally and substantively modified the language of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Perkins v. Elg, 307 U.S. 325 at 330, in order to accomplish the result sought. The modification, through application of a grammatical ellipsis, seems clearly calculated to have made it appear that the Supreme Court has already strongly intimated, if not outright held, that if one is a native born citizen, then one is also a natural born Citizen under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution. Moreover, the ellipsis seems also calculated to allow the author of the memo, Maskell (and/or whomever else participated in its design and structure), to contend, in support of Obama’s purported constitutional eligibility, that the parents of the person involved in Elg were non-U.S. citizens, when in fact both parents were naturalized U.S. citizens before their daughter, Marie Elg, was born. Accordingly, not only are these CRS Memo assertions demonstrably wrong, they may also constitute criminal acts. In addition, those above Maskell in the CRS management hierarchy, if they knew of the problems, may also be implicated.
As I wrote earlier, Attorney Leo Donofrio has documented evidence that Justia.com, the main resource on the web for all things related to United States Supreme Court holdings, has been censoring various references to Minor v. Happersett (1875), the Supreme Court case which proves that Obama is an illegal President.These are just a few snowflakes on the tip of the iceberg. There is no doubt in my mind that many of our political leaders and government officials are co-conspirators in the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people.To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards out of men. - Abraham Lincoln-Congress is guilty as sin.
China’s Second Great Leap Forward
- Daniel Greenfield Thursday, July 7, 2011
imageThe People’s Republic of China’s first Great Leap Forward thrust it forward at the cost of some 40 million lives. And while its Second Great Leap Forward appears to come at a smaller cost in lives, it may prove to be equally fragile.The saving grace of the PRC economy has been the willingness of Western companies to use it as a cheap labor market. Capitalism accomplished what Communism could not, giving its industrialization focus. But beneath that China is still a Party oligarchy which is stuck thinking in terms of giant projects and major goals. The New China is on its Second Great Leap Forward and still trapped in Mao’s legacy.China has achieved Mao’s vision of becoming the world’s dominant steel producer. China produces a third of the world’s steel. Almost eight times as much as the United States. And its dumping of steel on the American market, along with domestic overregulation, has helped break down the American steel industry. But the Chinese steel industry is government subsidized and protected. Like so much else, it grows out of a command economy.
China’s command economy depends on an undervalued currency which uses exports to fund industrial investment.China’s command economy depends on an undervalued currency which uses exports to fund industrial investment. More industry, more cheap exports and more revenue. The cycle of aggressive growth that follows is impressive, but also completely unstable. The growth is not natural, it’s government funded. The costs of the growth are dispersed and hidden, but they are still there. Like most pyramid schemes, the numbers look good so long as a high rate of growth continues. But a setback exposes its weakness and topples the whole structure.
The PRC’s official budget deficit isn’t so terrible, but its real spending is often hidden behind a convoluted organizational web of state owned banks and investment corporations set up by local governments to lend themselves money from state owned banks. China’s official budget listed revenues of 1.149 trillion and expenditures of 1.27 trillion. Not so bad compared to America’s insane 2.092 trillion in revenues and 3.397 trillion in expenditures. Except when you start accounting for nearly an additional 4 trillion in debt that the PRC used to stimulate its economy via its own banks. This puts our own stimulus plan into perspective. The Chinese version is much worse than our own.Obama suggests that we look to China. But that may just be because the Chinese model is his own taken to the worst possible extreme, more reckless, less transparent and headed for disaster. Massive infrastructure investments, irresponsible currency manipulation, piles of hidden debt and unrecognized long term consequences.The disasters of the original Great Leap Forward were fed by a political bureaucracy, that like its Soviet counterparts, refused to acknowledge failure or pass along news of negative outcomes up the ladder. There is no sign that this has changed. The Russian and Chinese Communist command economies passed unworkable orders down to the fiefdoms of local officials who hid their failures until they couldn’t be hidden anymore. The same thing is happening now under a capitalist veneer. And there is every sign that the disasters of the Great Leap Forward are repeating themselves.Massive population displacement, home demolitions and land seizures in the countryside were a feature of the Great Leap Forward.
Massive population displacement, home demolitions and land seizures in the countryside were a feature of the Great Leap Forward and they are a major feature of the Second Great Leap Forward. But this time the peasants aren’t starving to death by the roadside, they’re protesting loudly. While Westerners still think in terms of Tienanmen Square, there are tens of thousands mass anti-government protests happening every year in China. Some of them featuring crowds in the tens of thousands. These are not democracy protests by students. The modern Chinese students tends to be pro-regime and optimistic about making money. The peasant thrown out of his home by local officials does not.The displaced populations and a gender gap that will leave millions unable to marry represent a ticking social time bomb. Mao’s China solved it with the mass murder of millions. The modern PRC is willing to evict millions from their homes, but not to actively execute or starve them all to death. Instead it plans to outgrow the problem. And its growth plan pumps money into local industrialization which leads to more evictions. More significantly it leads to the loss of arable land.The original Great Leap Forward saw famine deaths in the tens of millions
The original Great Leap Forward saw famine deaths in the tens of millions. Since then China has put a great deal of focus on self-sufficiency in wheat production and stockpiling wheat reserves, but its wheat, corn and even rice imports are rising dramatically. That is a dangerous sign in a country with a high population, devastating droughts and a long history of famines.But China’s own government funded industrialization is partly to blame for it. The PRC’s Second Great Leap Forward has pumped money into rural development, throwing up power plants, dams and factories, and wiping out millions of hectares of arable land. Their solution to the problem is more government funded agriculture through farm subsidies, while raising the minimum purchase price on crops.China has set minimum purchase prices on wheat and other crops to subsidize domestic agriculture while preventing the United States and other foreign competitors from dumping cheaper wheat on its marketplace. While American wheat was cheaper than Chinese wheat, it cannot be sold for less than Chinese wheat. Like so much else of China’s economy, this setup depended on a high rate of growth. But rising global wheat prices combined with rising domestic demand and less arable land are making it dangerously vulnerable. Food prices in China are rising sharply, while its domestic production is unable to keep up.China’s agricultural spending is negligible compared to its massive infrastructure investments, that are often senseless, destructive and wasteful. The mentality was typical of the USSR, of North Korea and of China, which is throwing it has into massive projects without a realistic return on their investment. Like Dubai, China is spending enormous amounts of money and effort to maintain the boom image. But that image is built on massive piles of debt invested against artificial growth. With the whole thing rising like a neon lit deck of cards above a wobbly table.The final and worst legacy of the Great Leap Forward is shoddy production
The final and worst legacy of the Great Leap Forward is shoddy production. The Leap set target goals and tried to meet them by cutting every corner possible. The modern China is no longer trying to beat the UK’s steel production numbers with backyard furnaces, as it did in Mao’s day, but its steel is notoriously shoddy. So is everything else that is Made in China.For now America is still putting cost over quality. As San Francisco did when it bought its new Bay Bridge in China. But rising steel prices, a weak dollar and an inevitable clash over China’s undervalued currency mean that sooner or later, Chinese industry will be forced to compete on quality, not on price. And when that day comes, industries built on government subsidies and told to turn out products at the lowest price, will suddenly find themselves in big trouble.Like most command economies, China is strictly big picture. Its higher ups are unconcerned with the details. Mao remained unaware for the longest time that backyard furnaces cannot produce high quality steel. Similarly the men and women at the top are ignorant of the details that keeps their economic miracle on track. Instead they celebrate big picture accomplishments like the opening of the world’s longest bridge, the Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay Bridge, which is certainly a big bridge, with some safety issues, and happens to be completely unnecessary.The Big Picture vision of the Second Great Leap Forward is about to collide with economic realities and unspoken truths
With debt at 80 percent of GDP, the only plan is to keep moving forward. But the level of growth needed is unsustainable. The Big Picture vision of the Second Great Leap Forward is about to collide with economic realities and unspoken truths.Now as China indulges in military brinkmanship with its neighbors and pumps more money into its military budget, while growing more brazen about seizing entire US companies and hoarding raw materials, its aggressiveness is breaking apart the business relationships on which its economic boom was founded.China’s economic growth is parasitic on American and European growth. It has overinvested in a race against America and Europe, without understanding that it is running a race against itself. That it has not truly broken with the errors of the Great Leap Forward.

Europe's central bank gives helping hand to Portugal
VALENTINA POP 07.07.2011 @ 17:36 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - In a move similar to the Greek case, the European Central Bank (ECB) on Thursday (7 July) suspended a minimum rating requirement for Portuguese bonds after one of the major credit rating agencies earlier this week downgraded Portugal to junk status.In response to the downgrade announced by Moody's on Tuesday, the European Central Bank has decided to suspend until further notice the minimum rating threshold required for Portuguese bonds, ECB chief Jean-Claude Trichet said during his monthly press conference in Frankfurt.This means the ECB will continue to buy Portuguese bonds regardless of the rating given to them by private agencies - a move also made for Greece.Trichet insisted this extraordinary measure was not being taken because the ECB feared other rating agencies may follow suit and downgrade Portugal, but because the Portuguese adjustment programme agreed with the EU and the IMF at the end of June is ahead of the curve. He noted the programme already deals with privatisations and increased taxes.
These steps are still required in Greece, for which the ECB already last year suspended its minimum rating requirement for buying up Greek bonds.The outgoing ECB chief, whose mandate runs out in October, fiercely defended the credibility of his institution, which has been forced into numerous policy flip-flops - including the ratings exemption for Greece and now Portugal.We are very credible, Trichet insisted when pressed by journalists on the issue.Yet with private banks and eurozone governments discussing a second bailout for Greece with private investor participation - a condition boxed through by Berlin - Trichet's calls to avoid a credit event and his definite no to what is called a selective default of Greece look increasingly defensive.Along with the Portugal measure, Trichet also announced an increase in the ECB interest rate to 1.5 percent, the second hike this year. Asked by an Irish journalist if he feels any sympathy with Irish people, whose country is also subject to harsh EU-IMF austerity measures and who will be hit by the rate increase, Trichet responded: Ireland needs to stick to its programme. I won't comment further.He insisted that austerity measures work for all the people in the eurozone, including Ireland where the current account is now positive. But he also signalled that the ECB may further increase its interest rate in the coming months.
Barroso to ratings agencies: We know better
VALENTINA POP 06.07.2011 @ 17:31 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Portugal-born EU commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso on Wednesday (6 July) accused American credit rating agency Moody's of being biased and speculative for downgrading its assessment of Portugal's debt payment capacity.
Rating agencies are market players and as such they are not immune from market cycles, mistakes and exaggerations that come with them, Barroso said during a press conference in Strasbourg.Citing formidable challenges and a possible second bailout with private banks involvement, Moody's on Tuesday downgraded Portugal's credit rating to junk, meaning it is not safe for pension funds to buy Portuguese bonds.I deeply regret the decision of one rating agency to downgrade the Portuguese sovereign debt. I regret it both in terms of its timing and its magnitude, Barroso said, echoing remarks from Lisbon that the US-based agency had not taken into account the recently adopted austerity package.Yesterday's decision by one rating agency does not provide for more clarity, but rather adds another speculative element to the situation,he argued.With all due respect to that specific rating agency, our institutions know Portugal a little bit better. Our analysis is more refined and complete,Barroso went on, encouraging the Portuguese to stick to the agreed programme.
In his defence of Portugal's ability to pay back its debt, the former Portuguese premier said that both the German chancellor and the French finance minister recently had dismissed credit rating agencies and made it clear that EU decisions on financial matters are based not on market players positions but on the objective assessments of the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund.Ever since the beginning of the sovereign debt crisis, EU leaders have had a hard time convincing markets of the effectiveness of bailouts and austerity packages when it comes to the ability of countries like Greece and later on Ireland and Portugal to pay back their debt.The credit rating market is currently dominated by the so-called Big Three - Moody's, Standard and Poor's and Fitch - all based in New York, except for the latter which also has headquarters in London and belongs to a French-owned parent company. Still, the EU feels under-represented and is now looking at strengthening regulations and possibly stimulating the emergence of a Europe-based rival.An EU draft law is likely to be put forward by the end of the year to improve the methodology of rating sovereign debt, reduce excessive reliance of financial institutions on ratings, reduce conflicts of interests and introduce more responsibility and competition [on the credit rating market],Barroso explained.While admitting that it is not for EU institutions or politicians to decide upon the creation of a Europe-based credit rating agency, Barroso did criticise the quasi-monopoly of the Big Three.
It is quite strange that the market is dominated by only three players and not a single agency is coming from Europe. It shows there may be some bias in the market when it comes to evaluation of issues in Europe, that Europeans know better than others,he said.Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who was also present at the press conference as new chairman of the rotating EU presidency, poured some cold water on expectations that credit rating agencies would change behaviour.Only a naive person could have expected rating agencies to change into angels and have nothing else on their minds but ways of helping Greece or another country in trouble. Nobody establishes a rating agency in order to help anybody, he said.
MEPs put off controversial electoral reform
HONOR MAHONY 07.07.2011 @ 17:36 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Proposals designed to shake up the European political landscape were on Thursday sent back to the drawing board after proving too controversial for MEPs to endorse.Put together by UK liberal MEP Andrew Duff, the report sailed through committee in spring but then came a cropper as the political groups in the parliament took a more thorough look at the implications of the proposals, representing the greatest shake-up of electoral procedures since the European Parliament was first directly elected in the 1970s.The most controversial idea concerns electing 25 extra MEPs on a transnational ticket in a bid to create a EU-wide political space. These deputies would be chosen by European political parties and have to come from at least a third of member states. Citizens would elect them alongside their national MEPs.The report also calls for the regular reapportioning of seats with the EU assembly, a single electoral roll, and one set of rules on immunities for MEPs, and for elections to be held in May instead of June.
Duff admitted that there had been great debate in the political groups about this ideas. MEPs feel nervous discussing reforms of a process that got them into parliament and begin to consider their own pensions,he said.With the report risking being shot down in plenary on Thursday, Duff asked for it to go back to committee in September so he can get wider political support. He aims to have it before plenary once more in October.Chief among the criticisms are that the proposals would have to be ratified by member states, with the long and difficult birth of the current Lisbon Treaty still fresh in the mind.
Super deputies
MEPs also groused about whether these super deputies would be accountable to anyone and about the timing of the report.Countering the arguments, Duff noted that the chamber already has natural tiers among MEPs - including simply whether they are good or bad deputies - and pointed out that member states will anyway have to approve changes to the EU treaty to admit Croatia as a member in 2012.He argued that transnational MEPs would dramatise and personalise European elections, where participation has fallen steadily since from 63 percent in 1979 to 43 percent in 2009.It is certainly possible that Mr Barroso's successor to the commission [presidency] is to be found on a transnational list,said Duff.At the moment, although nominally European elections, the five-yearly trek to polling booths have the air of 27 different national elections.This disconnect and the resulting low turnout has become an increasing embarrassment to the parliament, which has steadily seen its legislative powers increase.
I am ingenious
Continued resistance is expected from several quarters.Member states are unlikely to be as equable about treaty change as Duff while European political groups may dislike being put on the spot in terms of finding suitable candidates and pan-European election themes.Nationally the electoral reform proposals could ruffle feathers. Domestic parties are unlikely to appreciate no longer having the sole right to choose what MEPs go on lists.But the first battle for Duff, for whom this is something of a parliamentary lifework, will be to get his ideas through committee and back onto the plenary agenda in autumn.He is still talking up his chances.I think you underestimate my capacity to be ingenious in finding solutions to complex problems,he noted when asked about the difficult political waters ahead.

Anthony sentenced to 4 years but could be free in weeks Updated: Thu Jul. 07 2011 07:56:14 CTV.ca News Staff
Casey Anthony, the 25-year-old mother who was acquitted of killing her daughter in a sensational trial that grabbed headlines for weeks, has been sentenced to one year for each of four misdemeanor convictions but will likely be free within weeks.She will also have to pay $1,000 in fines for each conviction.The judge said Anthony, who has spent three years behind bars, will be able to go free by late July or early August based on time already served and good behaviour.Anthony was acquitted of first-degree murder charges on Tuesday.Anthony, who kept a stoic face for much of the sentencing on Thursday but could also be seen smiling at times, was convicted of lying to law enforcement officials about what happened to her two-year-old daughter Caylee.Her lawyers argued Thursday to have the four convictions reduced to a single count, since they happened within one continuous conversation. The judge declined to reduce the convictions, however.
Casey Anthony faces many challenges once freed
By Marisol Bello, USA TODAY JULY 7,11
Casey Anthony could walk out of jail a free woman Thursday, but her ordeal is far from over.Casey Anthony is supported Tuesday following her acquittal on murder charges at the county courthouse in Orlando.
In the two days since a jury found her not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, Anthony has become an object of scorn for many who believe she got away with murder.That means Anthony's life is only going to get harder, say legal, media and mental health experts.I suspect she's not going to have a very pleasant life, said Karin Moore, a law professor at Florida A&M University who has watched the case.This will follow her wherever she goes.Anthony was found guilty of four misdemeanor counts of lying to police. Each count has a maximum jail sentence of one year. Anthony, 25, has been in jail for almost three years. It is possible that when Judge Belvin Perry sentences her at 9 a.m., he will sentence her to time already served.On Wednesday, the first juror spoke out about the case. In an interview with ABC News, Jennifer Ford said she and the other jurors cried and were sick to our stomachs after voting to acquit Anthony of charges that she killed her child.I did not say she was innocent, said Ford, previously identified only as juror number 3. I just said there was not enough evidence. If you cannot prove what the crime was, you cannot determine what the punishment should be.The not-guilty verdict shocked many observers, but it was also a difficult moment for the panel, Ford said. No juror talked to reporters in the hours after the verdict.Everyone wonders why we didn't speak to the media right away,Ford said.It was because we were sick to our stomach to get that verdict. We were crying, and not just the women. It was emotional and we weren't ready. We wanted to do it with integrity and not contribute to the sensationalism of the trial.When Anthony is released, she faces challenges.
She will be hounded for interviews. She has to worry that she is a target for those who hate her.Her life could be in danger, Moore said. A lot of people wanted to push the needle in themselves, from reading some of the comments made by people online.NBA star Vince Carter of the Orlando Magic said in his Twitter feed that Anthony should leave the state. He tweeted: Casey might want to move out of Florida like ASAP!! Public opinion aside, Anthony has even the basics to worry about, said Mike Paul, a crisis management consultant. Where will she live? Can she find work?
It's not clear that Anthony could return to the house the single mother once shared with her daughter and parents. During the trial, Anthony's lawyer accused her father of sexually abusing her. The lawyer, Jose Baez, also said Caylee drowned and George Anthony helped cover it up and dispose of the body. George Anthony took the stand to deny the allegations.George and Cindy Anthony left court quickly after the verdict without saying anything to their daughter. Their attorney, Mark Lippman, said the parents received death threats after the verdict. He told ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday that they hadn't spoken with their daughter.Does she have a family to go back to? Paul said.That's a major question.He said Anthony has to work hard to rehabilitate her image, starting with showing remorse or grief over her daughter's death.She's infamous now, he said. We still forgive people who do the right thing. She can change opinions based on her actions today.The first step, Paul and others say, is to get out of the public eye and seek counseling.Seattle psychologist Gregory Jantz said Anthony's experience puts her at risk of depression, anxiety and panic attacks.
This is a girl who needs help,he said. He said Anthony may turn to addiction or return to the hard-partying lifestyle she led before her arrest as a way to numb her feelings.Jantz said not just Anthony but also her parents and brother need counseling.It's a very dysfunctional family system that could explode,he said.Staying out of the public eye may be hard to do.Jantz said Anthony is likely to get offers to write a book and other media deals to share her story.She can benefit, he said.TMZ.com, a celebrity news website, reported Wednesday that an adult entertainment company offered Anthony a deal to star in porn movies. Later, the site said Steve Hirsch, the chief of Vivid Entertainment, withdrew the offer.Anthony was served a subpoena in jail Tuesday night to give a deposition in a defamation lawsuit filed by a woman named Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez, CNN reported. Anthony had told police that Caylee had been taken by a nanny named Zenaida Gonzalez. The woman, who sued in 2008, said she had never met the Anthonys. Police said she had nothing to do with the case.Contributing: Associated Press

We were crying, and not just the women. It was emotional and we weren't ready. We wanted to do it with integrity and not contribute to the sensationalism of the trial.When Anthony is released, she faces challenges.
She will be hounded for interviews. She has to worry that she is a target for those who hate her.Her life could be in danger, Moore said. A lot of people wanted to push the needle in themselves, from reading some of the comments made by people online.NBA star Vince Carter of the Orlando Magic said in his Twitter feed that Anthony should leave the state. He tweeted: Casey might want to move out of Florida like ASAP!! Public opinion aside, Anthony has even the basics to worry about, said Mike Paul, a crisis management consultant. Where will she live? Can she find work?
It's not clear that Anthony could return to the house the single mother once shared with her daughter and parents. During the trial, Anthony's lawyer accused her father of sexually abusing her. The lawyer, Jose Baez, also said Caylee drowned and George Anthony helped cover it up and dispose of the body. George Anthony took the stand to deny the allegations.George and Cindy Anthony left court quickly after the verdict without saying anything to their daughter. Their attorney, Mark Lippman, said the parents received death threats after the verdict. He told ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday that they hadn't spoken with their daughter.Does she have a family to go back to? Paul said.That's a major question.He said Anthony has to work hard to rehabilitate her image, starting with showing remorse or grief over her daughter's death.She's infamous now, he said. We still forgive people who do the right thing. She can change opinions based on her actions today.The first step, Paul and others say, is to get out of the public eye and seek counseling.Seattle psychologist Gregory Jantz said Anthony's experience puts her at risk of depression, anxiety and panic attacks.
This is a girl who needs help,he said. He said Anthony may turn to addiction or return to the hard-partying lifestyle she led before her arrest as a way to numb her feelings.Jantz said not just Anthony but also her parents and brother need counseling.It's a very dysfunctional family system that could explode,he said.Staying out of the public eye may be hard to do.Jantz said Anthony is likely to get offers to write a book and other media deals to share her story.She can benefit, he said.TMZ.com, a celebrity news website, reported Wednesday that an adult entertainment company offered Anthony a deal to star in porn movies. Later, the site said Steve Hirsch, the chief of Vivid Entertainment, withdrew the offer.Anthony was served a subpoena in jail Tuesday night to give a deposition in a defamation lawsuit filed by a woman named Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez, CNN reported. Anthony had told police that Caylee had been taken by a nanny named Zenaida Gonzalez. The woman, who sued in 2008, said she had never met the Anthonys. Police said she had nothing to do with the case.Contributing: Associated Press

BAD DEBTS THREATEN CHINESE BANKING
Nigel Farage: The Worm has Turned
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op25aMc590g&feature=player_embedded
Libertarian Party Asks Florida Sheriffs To Arrest TSA Agents-We turn to you, our Constitutional Sheriffs, to enforce the law in accordance with your sworn duty Steve Watson Infowars.com July 5, 2011
The Libertarian Party of Florida has written to the sheriff of every county in the state demanding that they arrest any TSA agent who conducts an enhanced pat-down on charges of sexual battery.We, The People of the State of Florida must turn to you as our last line of defense against a federal government that is usurping authority and ignoring the rule of law.the letter, signed by party chairman Adrian Wyllie, states.
The party cites electronic and bodily searches carried out on Florida citizens as egregious violations of the Fourth Amendment, as well as Article One, Section 12 of the Florida Constitution, which prohibits searches and seizures without probable cause.The letter, which was also emailed to 67 sheriffs across the state, points out that under Florida law searches carried out by TSA agents fall within the definition of felony sexual battery.
The letter states:it is a first degree felony when sexual battery is committed by a law enforcement agent in paragraph 4(g), which reads:When the offender is a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, or correctional probation officer as defined by s. 943.10(1), (2), (3), (6), (7), (8), or (9), who is certified under the provisions of s. 943.1395 or is an elected official exempt from such certification by virtue of s. 943.253, or any other person in a position of control or authority in a probation, community control, controlled release, detention, custodial, or similar setting, and such officer, official, or person is acting in such a manner as to lead the victim to reasonably believe that the offender is in a position of control or authority as an agent or employee of government.Urging the sheriffs to remember the oath they have sworn to protect the Constitution, the party notes that
As Sheriff, you have the absolute duty to enforce the law uniformly and without prejudice. You are, at best, engaged in selective enforcement by choosing to further ignore these flagrant violations of federal and state law. At worst, you are complicit.The full text of the letter is included at the foot of this article.
In November we reported that current chief deputy DA and incoming DA of San Mateo County Steve Wagstaffe announced that his office will prosecute TSA employees who engage in lewd and lascivious behavior while conducting Homeland Security mandated pat downs at the San Francisco International Airport in San Mateo County.TSA agents are not law-enforcement officials with arrest powers, although they do wear uniforms and police style badges that suggest this is the case, a fact that has angered sworn officers who have expressed concerns that airline passengers will mistake screeners for police.Since the Texas bill to prohibit TSA groping failed to pass last week, there has been a renewed effort to bring further attention to the issue.As we reported yesterday, Congressman Ron Paul will re-introduce his American Traveler Dignity Act into the House this week in the hope that other lawmakers will support the effort to establish that airport security screeners are not immune from any US law regarding physical contact with another person, making images of another person, or causing physical harm through the use of radiation emitting from machinery.They are not above laws the rest of us must obey. Paul urged.As we continue to see more and more outrageous stories of TSA abuses and failures, I hope that my colleagues within the House will listen to their constituents and join with me to support this legislation.The Congressman added.Full text of LIbertarian Party Of Florida’s letter:
Dear Sheriff,On this day in 1776, our forebears founded this Nation by declaring their independence from an oppressive government. This beautiful and timeless document expressed the self-evident truth that all people have certain inalienable rights, upon which no government can infringe. They asserted that governments are formed among men to secure these rights, not to impede or restrict them.The Libertarian Party of Florida is reaching out to you, and to all of Florida’s 67 Constitutional Sheriffs. We, The People of the State of Florida must turn to you as our last line of defense against a federal government that is usurping authority and ignoring the rule of law.I am referring specifically to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and their egregious violations of the United States Constitution, as well as the Florida Constitution and state law.Every single day, TSA employees conduct electronic and bodily searches upon tens of thousands of Florida citizens and visitors at airports, and more recently at bus terminals, rail stations, and highways. They are searching the persons and seizing the effects of travelers without warrant or probable cause. Specifically, they are in blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which reads as follows:The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.These TSA agents are also in clear violation of Article One, Section 12 of the Florida Constitution, which reads as follows:Searches and seizures.— The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and against the unreasonable interception of private communications by any means, shall not be violated. No warrant shall be issued except upon probable cause, supported by affidavit, particularly describing the place or places to be searched, the person or persons, thing or things to be seized, the communication to be intercepted, and the nature of evidence to be obtained.
In addition, one of the methods by which the TSA agents conduct these searches, referred to as the “Enhanced Pat Down, is clearly within the definition of felony sexual battery, as codified in Florida Statute 794.011.I would like to point out that this statute clearly defines that it is a first degree felony when sexual battery is committed by a law enforcement agent in paragraph 4(g), which reads:
When the offender is a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, or correctional probation officer as defined by s. 943.10(1), (2), (3), (6), (7), (8), or (9), who is certified under the provisions of s. 943.1395 or is an elected official exempt from such certification by virtue of s. 943.253, or any other person in a position of control or authority in a probation, community control, controlled release, detention, custodial, or similar setting, and such officer, official, or person is acting in such a manner as to lead the victim to reasonably believe that the offender is in a position of control or authority as an agent or employee of government.As Sheriff, you have the absolute duty to enforce the law uniformly and without prejudice. You are, at best, engaged in selective enforcement by choosing to further ignore these flagrant violations of federal and state law. At worst, you are complicit.If you have TSA agents within your county that are violating the law, then you must act. Warn the TSA agents that they are subject to arrest if they continue to violate the law. Should they continue, then you must begin making arrests.We urge you to remember the oath you took to support, protect and defend the Constitution of both the State of Florida and the United States of America. On behalf of all Floridians, the Libertarian Party of Florida calls on you to do exactly that.We turn to you, our Constitutional Sheriffs, to enforce the law in accordance with your sworn duty.Sincerely,Adrian Wyllie, Chairman Libertarian Party of Florida

Bad Debts Threaten Chinese Banking Stability
by Amiel Ungar JULY 5,11
Moody's lobbed a financial hand grenade into the global markets by predicting that between 8% to 12% of the loans extended by Chinese banks would eventually be nonperforming. This means that the borrower would not be able to repay back the loan.
According to the investment service the amount on loan to local governments exceeds the official audit figure by $540 billion. In response to the negative assessment, share prices for Chinese banks declined, but that is the minor part of the story.As both the United States and Western Europe flounder amidst debt crises, China was considered a pillar of stability. If the Chinese banks are exposed to local government borrowers China's banks could face a debt crisis. These loans would ultimately have to be assumed by the central government precisely when the Chinese government is attempting to rein in inflation.Additionally, the banks have extended loans to infrastructure companies for costly projects such as the Yunnan highway extending thousands of kilometers in mountainous terrain to the border with Laos, Burma and Vietnam. Some of these companies are having problems making repayments because the profit expectations have not panned out or the costs have far exceeded initial estimates.China's 1100 universities have racked up nearly $41 billion in debt.
Some analysts in the government-controlled press are trying to sound a reassuring note, as in the Standard:It's the first time the estimate has been published, giving an idea of how deep the problem is. Once a problem is understood, it would be possible to solve… The message is clear. The central government is on top of the situation.It would be worrisome if all debts incurred by local governments are invested in the property bubble. However, a lot of the money is invested in important infrastructure such as the high-speed railway.The word infrastructure is occasionally employed as a cost immune to economic fluctuations and reverses. The assumption is that an investment in infrastructure will always pay for itself.That proposition is debatable, as one can see from the opposition to the Obama administration's proposal for the high-speed rail. The best example is Japan. Japan invested billions in high-speed bullet trains and massive road networks to connect the remotest parts of the country to the center. While this undoubtedly helped the periphery as well as politicians and construction companies, it saddled Japan to this day within an enormous internal debt that has drained resources from more needed projects.If the Chinese government is going to have to absorb the losses from white dragons, it will not have the available resources to invest in projects that it considers crucial. such as low-cost housing.China's colossal economic achievements since it emerged from self-imposed isolation in the late 1970s have sometimes created the impression that the Chinese can do no wrong economically.
China's Western admirers sometimes fall into the same trap as the Maoists who believed that sheer size and political willpower could overcome economic reality.

Lagarde takes up IMF post replacing Strauss-Kahn
AFPBy Win McNamee | AFP – Tue, Jul 5, 2011
Former French finance minister Christine Lagarde took over as the new head of the International Monetary Fund Tuesday with fresh questions over Portugal's bailout posing an immediate challenge.The first woman to head the world's key crisis lender, Lagarde takes over in the wake of countryman Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who quit in May to fight sexual assault charges.Although not an economist, the 55-year-old gained wide respect as France's point-woman during its leadership of the G20 as well as in European debt talks over the past three years.She spent her first day at the IMF's Washington headquarters in meetings with the Fund's management team, the executive board, department chiefs and other staff.But her debut was marred by a sharp downgrade of Portugal's sovereign debt to junk status by Moody's.The powerful rating agency warned that Lisbon could not meet the reform requirements of its first 78-billion-euro ($112 billion) IMF-European Union bailout and would need a second rescue package.That comes after weeks spent recasting the 110-billion-euro IMF-EU rescue of Greece -- including, tentatively, a restructuring of its debt held by banks -- in which Lagarde played a key role as French finance minister.Portugal's deterioration, following Greece's, could come to test the IMF's commitment to eurozone stability.A lawyer by training, Lagarde joined Baker & McKenzie in 1981 specializing in labor and anti-trust issues.The divorced mother of two quickly rose in the ranks and ultimately moved to the company's Chicago headquarters to oversee global operations.
In June 2005, she joined the French government as trade minister, and then in 2007 she became France's, and the G-8's, first ever female finance minister.She won the IMF job over Mexican central bank chief Agustin Carstens, maintaining Europe's 65-year lock on the position, the result of a pact with the United States dating back to the founding of the institution.The deal has drawn accusations that the Fund is overly aligned with European and US thinking and not sensitive to the situation of emerging and poor economies.Small countries should have an appropriate voice. Since the global crisis, small countries have faced particular challenges that require greater attention from the IMF, South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said last week after Lagarde was chosen.Critics also said Lagarde was too close to the eurozone crises to be independent.She is committed to serve as IMF managing director for five years after three previous directors, all Europeans, left the job early, according to a statement of her terms of appointment.Lagarde was given a pay package of $467,940 in annual salary net of any taxes, and $83,760 in allowances for maintaining a scale of living appropriate to her position.The terms of appointment to Lagarde's new job require her to observe the highest standards of ethical conduct, consistent with the values of integrity, impartiality and discretion.You shall strive to avoid even the appearance of impropriety in your conduct,they said.Such terms were not in the contract signed by her predecessor in 2007.
Strauss-Kahn resigned on May 18, five days after he was arrested in New York on allegations that he tried to rape a hotel chambermaid.He has denied the charges, and prosecutors have since admitted serious concerns over the accuser's credibility.
Media reports said prosecutors were moving toward dismissing the charges, with the New York Post citing defense sources as saying Strauss-Kahn had engaged in consensual sex with the maid, but then angered her by refusing to pay for it, prompting her accusations.
Shades of Bollywood: Temple Yields Treasure
by Aryeh Ben Hayim JULY 5,11
It wasn't Indiana Jones but an Indian lawyer concerned about the security of donations to the 16th-century Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Trivandrum, India, prompted the discovery of a 22 billion dollar treasure trove of gold and jewels donated by believers over the years.Six of the temple's seven vaults have been opened and another behind doors of iron remains sealed and could push up the value of the treasure if it yields up similar contents.Appropriately, there are legends attached to the Temple and the remaining unopened vault, namely concerning the evils that will befall the person who opens the vault. Calamity has already befallen some who participated in opening the other vaults One committee member has suffered an injury in the leg while another member's ailing mom passed away Monday.The royal family that administered the temple (India had many royal states before it attained independence and abolished the separate royal states while compensating their rulers) added to the mood:Numerous stories are there, though no one knows their veracity. But not many are willing to ignore them either. The deity is believed to have immense powers and many who have done things not in tune with temple customs have suffered.
The unexpected treasure trove immediately touched off a debate about what to do with the contents with proposals ranging from transforming the collection into a museum, retaining the treasures in the Temple but with added security, or selling off the contents and using the proceeds for poverty relief.Those in favor of a museum are already envisioning the site as competition for New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre in Paris or the Vatican Museum and draw in tourists.Those favoring turning it over to the state of Kerala note that the state has acquired an enviable record in reducing infant mortality and promoting literacy and therefore money turned over to the state would not be wasted. Kerala had an important Jewish community in Cochin but most members of the community have since immigrated to Israel.Status quo adherents argue that the treasures were donated for religious purposes and the wishes of the donors should not be tampered with.(Israel National News.com)

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A fresh row broke out on Monday as allegations of embezzlement to the tune of €40,000 by a Romanian far-right MEP came to light - just days after the working group on transparency finalised a code of conduct following a cash-for-amendments scandal in March.In a letter sent to the European Parliament's administrative services, Romanian MEP assistant Catalin Marin claims that he never received any payment from his boss Corneliu Vadim Tudor, for whom he worked as a locally employed assistant in Romania.From July 2009 until today I have not received any sum of money for the work I did as an a locally hired assistant to the parliamentary office of Tudor, the letter reads.Marin claims that he was stunned to find out in June, while trying to get a loan from a Romanian bank, that his signature was forged on three working contracts and that he was supposed to pay taxes for some €40,000 that he supposedly cashed in since 2009.After filing a criminal complaint with the Romanian police for forgery and embezzlement, the assistant is asking the European Parliament to send him any documents proving that he was hired or fired as a local assistant.Tudor retorted violently in a phoned-in tv intervention on Monday night, calling Marin a stupid moron whom he helped because his father used to be a decent spy.Romania's Communist intelligence service, the infamous Securitate, used to be one of the most dreaded repression tools behind the Iron Curtain.I would strangle him with this hand, which supposedly forged his signature,the far-right leader threatened, calling the whole case a politically motivated affair.
These fresh allegations come just as the European Parliament is trying to recover from the so-called cash-for-amendments scandal in March, when Sunday Times journalists posing as lobbyists videotaped three MEPs willing to take money for amendments.Two of them - Ernst Strasser from Austria and Zoran Thaler from Slovenia - resigned immediately.But Romanian MEP Adrian Severin who had invoiced the journalists for his extra work, kept his seat and has signed in this week during the plenary session in Strasbourg, despite having his immunity stripped and an ongoing criminal investigation by the Romanian anti-corruption prosecutors.A new Code of Conduct for MEPs banning any side activities and pressing for more transparency in their expenses is to be adopted by the end of the year. But experts are sceptical that this paper will work, so long as there is no strong will to enforce and to sanction wrongdoings - a point where the EU Parliament so far has been dragging its feet.Natacha Cingotti from Friends of the Earth Europe - an NGO pressing for more transparency in EU institutions - told this website that is impossible to assume that all MEPs automatically behave in an ethical way, and this is why tight rules and related monitoring and enforcement mechanisms are needed.If the Tudor case proves to be true, Cingotti says, this will only widen even more the gap between citizens and the EU bodies. It's odd that these people who are elected directly by the citizens seem to care so little about their constituencies,she said, pointing to comments made by Severin that his behaviour was normal.

Greece faces massive loss of sovereignty
HONOR MAHONY 04.07.2011 @ 09:22 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Eurozone finance ministers over the weekend staved off looming bankruptcy in Greece by agreeing to release the next tranche of aid to the country, but Athens will pay with a massive loss of its sovereignty, the eurozone chief has said.In return for the €12 billion - the fifth payment from the €110 billion EU-IMF loan agreed last year - Greece will have to push through a swathe of privatisations reminiscent of the selling of East German firms in the 1990s after the fall of Communism.The sovereignty of Greece will be massively limited, Jean-Claude Juncker told Germany's Focus Magazin in an interview published on Sunday (3 July), just hours after the eurozone ministers reached agreement.For the upcoming wave of privatisation they need a solution modelled on the German Treuhandel, he said referring to an agency used by Germany to sell off some 14,000 former East German firms, at a huge job and profit loss.Greece has agreed to raise €50 billion by 2015 through a massive sell-off of state assets. This and austerity measures imposed by the government have been hugely unpopular, bringing Greeks to the streets in their thousands to protest.In order to make sure Athens follows through on its commitments, the plan will be supplemented by large-scale technical assistance from the European Commission and member states, finance ministers said Saturday.
Acknowledging the difficulty for Greece, the Luxembourg prime minister said that Greeks should not be insulted so much as supported and looked after. Still, he pointed out that the country had brought its fate upon itself.[The crisis was] largely self-made. Between 1999 and 2010, wages rose by 106.6 percent, even though the economy did not grow in equal measure. The wage policy went completely out of control, while productivity was not taken into consideration, said Juncker.Over the weekend the EU ministers agreed to pay €8.7 billion to Greece. The remaining €3 billion is expected to be signed off by the IMF by the end of this week.The agreement means that Greece will be able to meet its repayments due mid this month.
However, the ministers did not agree the terms of a whole new bailout noting that the precise modalities and scale of private sector involvement had yet to be determined. Agreement is now expected in September although the issue will be discussed again when ministers meet on 11 July.One of the sticking points is a Finnish demand that it can lend to Greece only if Athens provides collateral. There is also uncertainty over a German-led push to enlist private creditor participation.
Gaza flotilla boats preparing to confront Greek coastguard ANDREW RETTMAN 04.07.2011 @ 10:04 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Flotilla members are preparing to defy a Greek order not to sail to Gaza, as Athens says the project would threaten regional stability.Armed and masked Greek soldiers already stopped and detained the US boat, The Audacity of Hope, when it left the port of Perama on Friday (1 July) on grounds that the vessel was not seaworthy.The Greek authorities later the same day issued a blanket order for all nine flotilla boats not to sail and offered to deliver the humanitarian supplies to Gaza themselves together with Israeli help. The Quartet - the EU, Russia, the UN and the US - on Saturday also published a communique urging the boats to deliver their cargo through established channels.Greek foreign ministry spokesman Grigoris Delavekouras told EUobserver the sailing ban was made on the basis of maritime law, both national and international ... safety mainly, it has to do with the safety of people at sea.He noted that wider political considerations also played a part: All the countries in the region are of the view that this constitutes a threat to themselves and a potential escalation in the area which is going through a very sensitive time right now.He acknowledged that talks with Israel also had a role in the decision, after Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman over the weekend claimed the clampdown as a diplomatic victory. We have been in contact with everyone, we certainly know the Israeli position,Delavekouras said.Lieberman had told Israel's Army Radio things do not just happen on their own.He also made fun of flotilla organisers' claims that Israeli agents had sabotaged some of the vessels in the run-up to the weekend, saying: The activists are trying to blame someone for their failure – no doubt they have watched too many James Bond films.For their part, the flotilla campaigners remained defiant on Sunday.
They rejected the Greek offer to deliver aid saying this would not fulfill the political objective of the project, which is to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza.A spokeswoman for the project said the boats will sail on Monday, rendezvous at sea on Tuesday and aim to reach Gaza by Thursday.Birgitta Jonsdottir, an Icelandic MP who is among the 300-or-so activists collected in Greece for the mission, said in a statement she will call upon the foreign affairs minister in Greece to show some courage, to stand up against foreign powers - in this case Israel.She added: It is hard to imagine that the Israel government has managed to get the Greek government do their dirty work for them in Greek waters.Eight of the 51 people due to sail on Audacity of Hope gave begun a hunger strike to protest against the Greek actions.
Some left-wing Greek MPs, such as Mihail Krisotakis, also criticised the government. The Greek government is obeying the orders of Israel and that is why the ship is anchored here. Were Greece a genuine democracy, the ship would have already set sail,he told Israeli daily Haaretz after visiting the moored boats.In a variation of the attempt to break the sea-blockade on Gaza, some 700 pro-Palestinian activists have said they plan to fly to Israel's Ben Gurion airport on 8 July. The move is designed to disrupt flights as a form of civil disobedience, with some participants to try to get to Gaza on foot afterward.Israeli commandos last year shot and killed nine flotilla members and briefly arrested all those on board.

It’s Final: Barak Won’t Transfer Terrorist Bodies
by Elad Benari JULY 5,11
Defense Minister Ehud Barak made a final decision on Tuesday evening regarding the transfer of bodies of Hamas terrorists to the Palestinian Authority, and has ordered that no bodies of terrorists who committed attacks against Israeli citizens be transferred to the PA.Earlier, Barak had suspended Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s instruction to transfer 84 bodies of terrorists to the Palestinian Authority, explaining the move might hurt efforts to free kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit.Netanyahu’s announcement on Monday said the bodies would be handed over to the PA as a goodwill gesture towards the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which begins in August.The terrorists whose bodies would have been transferred include some who have committed some of the most gruesome terror attacks against Israelis since 1967.
The list included, among others, the body of Hanadi Jaradat, the PA woman who blew herself up in Haifa’s Maxim restaurant in 2003, killing 21 people, as well as the bodies of Amar Ali Abdullah who carried out a suicide bombing operation in the Carmel market in Tel Aviv in 2004, and Abdullah Abdullah, who blew himself up in the Stage nightclub in Tel Aviv in 2005, killing four.Barak reportedly ordered not to negotiate with the PA about returning the bodies of those three terrorists. In addition, he also instructed not to include terrorists who were residents of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip in future talks on handing over bodies of terrorists.
Barak’s decision was met with anger by the Palestinian Authority, which demanded that Israel return any terrorist bodies in its possession regardless of their affiliation,as senior PA official Hassan a-Sheikh was quoted as saying.(Israel NationalNews.com)
IAF Hits Terror Tunnel in Northern Gaza
by Elad Benari JULY 5,11
An IAF aircraft hit a tunnel used for terrorist activity in the northern Gaza Strip late Tuesday evening, the IDF Spokesperson’s office reported. A direct hit was confirmed. The tunnel was intended for infiltrating into Israel and executing terror attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.The IDF Spokesperson said the attack came in response to the firing of Kassam rockets at Israeli territory over the past few days. On Sunday, terrorists fired a rocket towards the western Negev. The missile exploded in an open area, causing no injuries or property damage.The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, and will continue to operate with strength and determination against anyone who uses terror against the State of Israel, the Spokesperson said in a statement.The IDF holds the Hamas terrorist organization solely responsible for any terrorist activity emanating from the Gaza Strip.The IAF hit on Tuesday one was the second time in one day the IDF targeted Gaza terrorists. Earlier in the day, IAF warplanes fired a missile at a group of terrorists who were preparing to launch a rocket into Israel.The latest terror attacks came on the heels of an Israel Security Agency report, according to which there was a decline in the number of terror attacks in June.(Israel National News.com)

Eitan: Blocs to be Annexed; Rest of Yesha to be Abandoned by David Lev JULY 5,11
For perhaps the first time, a minister in Binyamin Netanyahu's government has admitted that the Prime Minister plans to give away most of Judea and Samaria to an incipient Arab state, with Israel retaining only the settlement blocs. During a tour of Gush Etzion, Michael Eitan, whose title is Minister for Improvement of Government Services, said that enacting the Prime Minister's policies will lead to the annexation of the settlement blocs, including Gush Etzion, with the intent of giving up other parts of Judea and Samaria for the benefit of a Palestinian state.Gush Etzion Council head Shaul Goldstein, who accompanied Eitan during the tour, said that he appreciated the minister's vote of confidence in the future of the Gush, even if he disagreed with Eitan on surrendering other parts of Yesha.In his comments, Eitan was referring to a speech by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to the Knesset in mid-May. In the wake of that speech, several right-wing MKs expressed concern over the fact that Netanyahu stressed that Israel would keep the settlement blocs in any final-status settlement with the PA – but that painful concessions would need to be made. This was taken by many as a sign that Netanyahu was prepared to give them away to the PA for establishment of an Arab state in Judea and Samaria.
After the speech, government Minister Benny Begin said in several interviews that he knew for certain that Netanyahu had not intended to imply an Israeli withdrawal from non-bloc areas of Yesha. A report on Arutz 7 said that following the speech, Likud MK Tzipi Hotovely approached Netanyahu and said,The rule that you set implies the exception to the rule,meaning that his insistence on retaining the settlement blocs means that the other towns are expendable. Netanyahu responded, That is not the intention.Although Eitan seemed to imply that he was speaking for Netanyahu in his statement, he is considered to be one of the Likud's left-leaning MKs. Speaking at a Likud faction meeting earlier this year, for example, Eitan advised against an Israeli annexation of parts of Judea and Samaria, saying it would boomerang against Israel. All Likud Prime Ministers have been against such a move, which would further isolate Israel and cause great damage. It would act as a boomerang, and prevent further Israeli development in the settlement blocs, he said.If what Eitan says is accurate, tens of thousands of Jews could be evicted from their homes, says National Union Chairman MK Ya'akov Katz (Ketzaleh). In a recent interview with Arutz 7, Ketzaleh said that based on his analysis of the speech, the Prime Minister would likely seek the removal of over 120,000 Jews from their homes. In his analysis, Ketzaleh named dozens of towns that are outside the settlement blocs he believes Netanyahu is referring to – with large towns like Beit El, Karnei Shomron, Givat Ze'ev, Kedumim, Kiryat Arba, and many others on the chopping bloc, since they are outside the settlement blocs.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Japan to conduct stress test on nuclear plants
AFP JULY 5,11
Japan will conduct a stress test on all its nuclear plants to check their resilience following the crisis at the tsunami-struck Fukushima Daiichi plant, Japanese media said Wednesday.Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Banri Kaieda announced the plan as he pledged to secure enough electricity supplies for the peak usage summer months, Jiji Press said.A 9.0 earthquake and a tsunami on March 11 crippled cooling systems of the Fukushima Daiichi plant operated by Tokyo Electric Power on the nation's northeast coast, triggering reactor meltdowns.The plant spewed radioactive materials into the air, soil and sea in the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986.Utilities not directly affected by the March disaster have not restarted reactors that were undergoing maintenance at the time, due to objections from local governments amid a wave of anti-nuclear sentiment.Only 19 of Japan's 54 reactors are now operating, with more due to shut down for regular checks, forcing companies and citizens to save power.
Flood surge raises fears of Mont. oil spill spread
By MATTHEW BROWN - Associated Press | JULY 5,11
LAUREL, Mont. (AP) — Crews cleaning up an oil spill on the Yellowstone River faced difficult conditions Tuesday as the scenic waterway rose above flood stage and stoked fears that surging currents could push crude into undamaged areas and back channels vital to the river's prized fishery.Conditions on the swollen Yellowstone have hampered efforts to find the cause of Friday's break in the 12-inch pipeline that spilled an estimated 1,000 barrels of crude oil.The river has been flowing too swiftly for crews to reach some oiled areas, and forecasters said mountain snowmelt was adding to high water levels. Officials speculated that the surge may push oil into areas that haven't yet been damaged.Much of the riverbank also is covered with dense underbrush, making it difficult to walk the shoreline. Most observations have been made through aerial flights.Sweat-drenched workers in hazmat suits and life-preservers slogged through the riverside vegetation under a blistering sun. Some raked oily muck into trash bags; others dabbed at blackened grass with absorbent pads.Booms to collect the oil bobbed in water, and plastic kiddie pools were set up for workers to wash off their boots once they left the water.A few miles downriver from the broken pipe, homeowner Robert Castleberry said he had been out of his house since Saturday because of dangerous fumes from oil that the river pushed across his yard and into the crawlspace beneath his house.Castleberry's wife suffers from heart disease and the fumes gave her difficulty breathing, he said. While he appreciated the company promising to cover the couple's immediate expenses, the retired fuel truck driver was doubtful workers would be able to clean up the black, gooey film that laced through the underbrush along the river.
Exxon's been nothing but 100 percent with us, he said.But when you get into brush that thick, that's going to be virtually impossible to clean.Company and federal officials said they have only seen oil about 25 miles downstream from the site of the break near Laurel. But Gov. Brian Schweitzer said he believes some has traveled hundreds of miles to North Dakota.At seven miles per hour, some oil is already in North Dakota. That's a given, Schweitzer said. I'm asking everyone to get out there and report what you see on the river.Representatives of Exxon Mobil and the Environmental Protection Agency said they had no reports of oil beyond the town of Huntley.Company officials said they were concentrating cleanup in that area, but have acknowledged the scope of the leak could extend beyond the 10-mile stretch that they initially said was the most affected area. Sherman Glass, Exxon's president of refining and supply, said crews have identified 10 places where oil has pooled in the heaviest amounts between Laurel and Huntley.Exxon Mobil Pipeline Co. President Gary Pruessing has said the company is not limiting the scope of the cleanup to the immediate site. Exxon planned to test the river's conditions with a jet boat, with eight more on standby if the launch is successful, Glass said.Water-quality tests downstream of the spill site began Monday, with more planned, according to EPA spokesman David Ostrander.The Silvertip pipeline is buried just under the bottom of Yellowstone River, delivering 40,000 barrels of oil a day to a refinery in Billings. Pruessing said it took a half-hour to shut down and seal off the ruptured pipe after workers spotted a dip in pressure.
But documents released by the Department of Transportation showed the pipeline was not fully sealed for 49 minutes. The longer time was based on information provided to the federal agency by Exxon Mobil, company spokesman Alan Jeffers said.He added that the discrepancy may have resulted from Pruessing speaking without notes in front of him. Clearly our communication with the regulator (DOT) is the one that we've got precision on, Jeffers said.Federal regulators have ordered Exxon to make safety improvements to the 20-year-old pipeline. Among them was an order to re-bury the line to protect against external damage and assess risk where it crosses a waterway.Company officials said they were considering burying the line deeper when it is repaired.The company also will have to submit a restart plan to the Department of Transportation before crude can again flow through the line, which delivers oil to a refinery in Billings and other customers.When companies are not living up to our safety standards, we will take action, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement.Schweitzer also ordered a review of pipelines that cross major and minor rivers in the state. Officials will look at the pipes' age, location of shutoff valves and whether they are similar to the ruptured pipe. He said the state has 88 such crossings.Modern pipelines can be buried as much as 25 feet beneath bodies of water; Exxon Mobil's Silvertip line was 5 to 8 feet below the bottom of the Yellowstone.The line was temporarily shut down in May after Laurel officials raised concerns that it could be at risk as the Yellowstone started to rise. The company restarted the line after a day, following a review of its safety record.
The cause of the rupture has not been determined, but company and government officials speculated that high waters in recent weeks may have scoured the river bottom and exposed the pipeline to damaging debris.The site is downstream of Yellowstone National Park, which is about away and not under threat. But the stretch of the river where the spill occurred is home to sauger, bass catfish, goldeye, trout and, farther downstream below Miles City, native pallid sturgeon.Schweitzer said he noticed that oil was pooling in areas near banks with slower-moving water, close to islands and cottonwood stands that support the microbes and insects that bring life to the river.Those riparian areas are a biological treasure trove. That's the health and wealth of the river,he said.

GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.
Arizona fires essentially out; flood worries next
By BOB CHRISTIE, Associated Press – Tue Jul 5, 5:03 pm ET
PHOENIX – The biggest forest fire in Arizona history is all but contained, and authorities are shifting their focus to preventing massive flood damage as summer storms begin to hit.The specialized firefighting management teams that had battled the blaze in eastern Arizona's Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest pulled out Tuesday. Patrolling the completed fire lines and corralling the last 5 percent is now up to local forest officials and the White Mountain Apache Tribe.Officials say rains will be the next disaster to avert, since a substantial part of the fire area suffered severe soil damage. They say the worst runoff will happen where the fire burned the hottest and prevented the soil from absorbing rainfall.Two other major fires that burned in recent weeks will raise the same concerns.Apache County engineer Ferrin Crosby says a small thunderstorm Monday night quickly turned the Little Colorado River into a raging torrent. Such a storm normally wouldn't affect flows.

Moderate 5.4 quake hits western Japan
– Tue Jul 5, 7:45 am ET
TOKYO (AFP) – A moderate 5.4-magnitude earthquake hit western Japan on Tuesday, seismologists said, but no tsunami warning was issued.The quake hit at 7:18 pm (1018 GMT) in Wakayama prefecture, some 450 kilometres (279 miles) southwest of Tokyo, with its epicentre a shallow 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) deep, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.A 9.0-magnitude quake that struck the country's northeast on March 11 and the tsunami that followed left 23,000 people dead or missing and triggered an atomic crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Libya denies Russian report Gaddafi seeking way out
By Lamine Chikhi | Reuters – JULY 5,11
TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Muammar Gaddafi is sounding out the possibility of handing over power, a Russian newspaper reported on Tuesday, but the Libyan government denied it was in talks about the veteran leader stepping down.Five months into a conflict that has embroiled NATO and become the bloodiest of the Arab Spring uprisings, there has been a flurry of reports about talks on Gaddafi ending his four decades in power in exchange for security guarantees.Russia's respected Kommersant newspaper based its story on a high-level source in Moscow. The report was denied in Tripoli, and Italy said it believed talk of a deal was a ruse by Gaddafi's administration to sow confusion.Information about negotiations about Gaddafi stepping down or seeking a safe refuge inside or outside the country is simply untrue, Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim told Reuters.Gaddafi is not negotiable, this is our position of principle, and the future of Libya will be decided by Libyans. Gaddafi is an historical symbol, and Libyans will die to defend him,said Ibrahim.The United States reiterated its position that Gaddafi should step down. We support whatever's going to get us to a place where Gaddafi knows it's time for him to go, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.Fighting between government forces and rebels continued, with rebels taking some of the heaviest shelling in recent weeks.
A Reuters reporter in Misrata, 200 km (130 miles) east of Tripoli, said rebel positions in the Dafniya district on the city's western outskirts came under heavy artillery fire on Tuesday.The bodies of rebel fighters were taken to Misrata's al-Hekma hospital and a hospital source said the death toll from the shelling had risen to 11 with 42 fighters wounded.Many of them were in a critical condition, and some would need to have limbs amputated, staff at the hospital said.On Monday, Gaddafi's forces ambushed rebels south of Misrata, killing six and injuring 22, said Abdelsalam, a rebel spokesman in Misrata.The rebels said again they would not compromise on letting Gaddafi remain in the country as a free man.Any solution that doesn't include Gaddafi stepping down and facing trial or leaving Libya is unacceptable, Abdelsalam said.
SEEKING GUARANTEES
Some analysts say Gaddafi is starting to contemplate an exit as shortages of cash and fuel, the NATO bombing campaign and rebel military pressure shorten the odds on him being able to hold on to power.But Western diplomats caution it is in Gaddafi's interest to send out conflicting signals about possible deals, in the hope of sowing confusion among the rebels and the fragile Western alliance trying to push him out.
Kommersant newspaper reported Western powers, including France, were receptive to a deal with Gaddafi if he agreed to step down.The colonel (Gaddafi) is sending signals that he is prepared to relinquish power in exchange for security guarantees, the newspaper quoted what it called a high-level source in the Russian leadership as saying.The report came a day after Russia hosted South African President Jacob Zuma -- who has tried to broker a peace deal for Libya -- and NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen for talks which focused on Libya.After his return from Russia, Zuma's office issued a statement saying he had asked NATO to persuade the rebel National Transitional Council to come to the negotiating table.Turkey is hopeful that Western and Arab governments could help put in place the framework of a solution to the crisis by next month, its foreign minister said.We hope for significant progress toward a political solution before the month of Ramadan, Ahmet Davutoglu told a news conference. The Muslim fasting month of Ramadan is expected to start in early August.On Monday, the Libyan government had said it held talks in Italy, Norway and Egypt with senior figures in the opposition about finding a peaceful way out of the conflict.But the Italian government denied any talks had taken place on its soil and expressed skepticism that Gaddafi's administration was sincere about talks.The aim of Tripoli's people, Tripoli's regime, is to drive a wedge within the coalition, said Italian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maurizio Massari.
Speaking to Reuters on Tuesday, Libyan government spokesman Ibrahim said the Italian government was mistaken but could not reveal the identity of the Italian government member who attended the talks for diplomatic reasons.A Libyan official based in Cairo said Libya's Health and Environment Minister Mohamed Mahmoud al-Hijazi had set off to Vienna where he was to have talks with members of the Libyan opposition on behalf of Gaddafi's government.There was no immediate confirmation of the trip.NATO launched its bombing campaign in March after the United Nations Security Council authorized the use of all necessary means to protect civilians who, inspired by revolutions in neighboring Tunisia and Egypt, rose up against Gaddafi.Gaddafi says the rebels are armed criminals and al Qaeda militants. He has called the NATO operation an act of colonial aggression aimed at stealing Libyan oil.Rebels control the eastern third of Libya, as well as pockets in the West, and NATO says its strikes are gradually eroding Gaddafi's hold on power. But the rebels have failed to make a breakthrough and advance on Tripoli.Aid agencies have warned of shortages of food and medicines in rebel areas.United Nations workers who visited the Western Mountains region, southwest of Tripoli, said farmers had been forced to sell or eat their livestock, leaving them without a livelihood.(Additional reporting by Tarek Amara in Tunis; Ali Shuaib in Tripoli; Hamuda Hassan in Misrata; Marius Bosch in Johannesburg; Steve Gutterman in Moscow; Stephanie Nebehay in Geneva; Deepa Babington in Rome; Andrew Quinn in Washington and Joseph Nasr in Berlin; writing by Christian Lowe and David Dolan; editing by Janet Lawrence)

Libertarian Party Asks Florida Sheriffs To Arrest TSA Agents-We turn to you, our Constitutional Sheriffs, to enforce the law in accordance with your sworn duty Steve Watson Infowars.com July 5, 2011
The Libertarian Party of Florida has written to the sheriff of every county in the state demanding that they arrest any TSA agent who conducts an enhanced pat-down on charges of sexual battery.We, The People of the State of Florida must turn to you as our last line of defense against a federal government that is usurping authority and ignoring the rule of law.the letter, signed by party chairman Adrian Wyllie, states.
The party cites electronic and bodily searches carried out on Florida citizens as egregious violations of the Fourth Amendment, as well as Article One, Section 12 of the Florida Constitution, which prohibits searches and seizures without probable cause.The letter, which was also emailed to 67 sheriffs across the state, points out that under Florida law searches carried out by TSA agents fall within the definition of felony sexual battery.
The letter states:it is a first degree felony when sexual battery is committed by a law enforcement agent in paragraph 4(g), which reads:When the offender is a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, or correctional probation officer as defined by s. 943.10(1), (2), (3), (6), (7), (8), or (9), who is certified under the provisions of s. 943.1395 or is an elected official exempt from such certification by virtue of s. 943.253, or any other person in a position of control or authority in a probation, community control, controlled release, detention, custodial, or similar setting, and such officer, official, or person is acting in such a manner as to lead the victim to reasonably believe that the offender is in a position of control or authority as an agent or employee of government.Urging the sheriffs to remember the oath they have sworn to protect the Constitution, the party notes that
As Sheriff, you have the absolute duty to enforce the law uniformly and without prejudice. You are, at best, engaged in selective enforcement by choosing to further ignore these flagrant violations of federal and state law. At worst, you are complicit.The full text of the letter is included at the foot of this article.
In November we reported that current chief deputy DA and incoming DA of San Mateo County Steve Wagstaffe announced that his office will prosecute TSA employees who engage in lewd and lascivious behavior while conducting Homeland Security mandated pat downs at the San Francisco International Airport in San Mateo County.TSA agents are not law-enforcement officials with arrest powers, although they do wear uniforms and police style badges that suggest this is the case, a fact that has angered sworn officers who have expressed concerns that airline passengers will mistake screeners for police.Since the Texas bill to prohibit TSA groping failed to pass last week, there has been a renewed effort to bring further attention to the issue.As we reported yesterday, Congressman Ron Paul will re-introduce his American Traveler Dignity Act into the House this week in the hope that other lawmakers will support the effort to establish that airport security screeners are not immune from any US law regarding physical contact with another person, making images of another person, or causing physical harm through the use of radiation emitting from machinery.They are not above laws the rest of us must obey. Paul urged.As we continue to see more and more outrageous stories of TSA abuses and failures, I hope that my colleagues within the House will listen to their constituents and join with me to support this legislation.The Congressman added.Full text of LIbertarian Party Of Florida’s letter:
Dear Sheriff,On this day in 1776, our forebears founded this Nation by declaring their independence from an oppressive government. This beautiful and timeless document expressed the self-evident truth that all people have certain inalienable rights, upon which no government can infringe. They asserted that governments are formed among men to secure these rights, not to impede or restrict them.The Libertarian Party of Florida is reaching out to you, and to all of Florida’s 67 Constitutional Sheriffs. We, The People of the State of Florida must turn to you as our last line of defense against a federal government that is usurping authority and ignoring the rule of law.I am referring specifically to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and their egregious violations of the United States Constitution, as well as the Florida Constitution and state law.Every single day, TSA employees conduct electronic and bodily searches upon tens of thousands of Florida citizens and visitors at airports, and more recently at bus terminals, rail stations, and highways. They are searching the persons and seizing the effects of travelers without warrant or probable cause. Specifically, they are in blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which reads as follows:The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.These TSA agents are also in clear violation of Article One, Section 12 of the Florida Constitution, which reads as follows:Searches and seizures.— The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and against the unreasonable interception of private communications by any means, shall not be violated. No warrant shall be issued except upon probable cause, supported by affidavit, particularly describing the place or places to be searched, the person or persons, thing or things to be seized, the communication to be intercepted, and the nature of evidence to be obtained.
In addition, one of the methods by which the TSA agents conduct these searches, referred to as the “Enhanced Pat Down, is clearly within the definition of felony sexual battery, as codified in Florida Statute 794.011.I would like to point out that this statute clearly defines that it is a first degree felony when sexual battery is committed by a law enforcement agent in paragraph 4(g), which reads:
When the offender is a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, or correctional probation officer as defined by s. 943.10(1), (2), (3), (6), (7), (8), or (9), who is certified under the provisions of s. 943.1395 or is an elected official exempt from such certification by virtue of s. 943.253, or any other person in a position of control or authority in a probation, community control, controlled release, detention, custodial, or similar setting, and such officer, official, or person is acting in such a manner as to lead the victim to reasonably believe that the offender is in a position of control or authority as an agent or employee of government.As Sheriff, you have the absolute duty to enforce the law uniformly and without prejudice. You are, at best, engaged in selective enforcement by choosing to further ignore these flagrant violations of federal and state law. At worst, you are complicit.If you have TSA agents within your county that are violating the law, then you must act. Warn the TSA agents that they are subject to arrest if they continue to violate the law. Should they continue, then you must begin making arrests.We urge you to remember the oath you took to support, protect and defend the Constitution of both the State of Florida and the United States of America. On behalf of all Floridians, the Libertarian Party of Florida calls on you to do exactly that.We turn to you, our Constitutional Sheriffs, to enforce the law in accordance with your sworn duty.Sincerely,Adrian Wyllie, Chairman Libertarian Party of Florida

Bad Debts Threaten Chinese Banking Stability
by Amiel Ungar JULY 5,11
Moody's lobbed a financial hand grenade into the global markets by predicting that between 8% to 12% of the loans extended by Chinese banks would eventually be nonperforming. This means that the borrower would not be able to repay back the loan.
According to the investment service the amount on loan to local governments exceeds the official audit figure by $540 billion. In response to the negative assessment, share prices for Chinese banks declined, but that is the minor part of the story.As both the United States and Western Europe flounder amidst debt crises, China was considered a pillar of stability. If the Chinese banks are exposed to local government borrowers China's banks could face a debt crisis. These loans would ultimately have to be assumed by the central government precisely when the Chinese government is attempting to rein in inflation.Additionally, the banks have extended loans to infrastructure companies for costly projects such as the Yunnan highway extending thousands of kilometers in mountainous terrain to the border with Laos, Burma and Vietnam. Some of these companies are having problems making repayments because the profit expectations have not panned out or the costs have far exceeded initial estimates.China's 1100 universities have racked up nearly $41 billion in debt.
Some analysts in the government-controlled press are trying to sound a reassuring note, as in the Standard:It's the first time the estimate has been published, giving an idea of how deep the problem is. Once a problem is understood, it would be possible to solve… The message is clear. The central government is on top of the situation.It would be worrisome if all debts incurred by local governments are invested in the property bubble. However, a lot of the money is invested in important infrastructure such as the high-speed railway.The word infrastructure is occasionally employed as a cost immune to economic fluctuations and reverses. The assumption is that an investment in infrastructure will always pay for itself.That proposition is debatable, as one can see from the opposition to the Obama administration's proposal for the high-speed rail. The best example is Japan. Japan invested billions in high-speed bullet trains and massive road networks to connect the remotest parts of the country to the center. While this undoubtedly helped the periphery as well as politicians and construction companies, it saddled Japan to this day within an enormous internal debt that has drained resources from more needed projects.If the Chinese government is going to have to absorb the losses from white dragons, it will not have the available resources to invest in projects that it considers crucial. such as low-cost housing.China's colossal economic achievements since it emerged from self-imposed isolation in the late 1970s have sometimes created the impression that the Chinese can do no wrong economically.
China's Western admirers sometimes fall into the same trap as the Maoists who believed that sheer size and political willpower could overcome economic reality.

Lagarde takes up IMF post replacing Strauss-Kahn
AFPBy Win McNamee | AFP – Tue, Jul 5, 2011
Former French finance minister Christine Lagarde took over as the new head of the International Monetary Fund Tuesday with fresh questions over Portugal's bailout posing an immediate challenge.The first woman to head the world's key crisis lender, Lagarde takes over in the wake of countryman Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who quit in May to fight sexual assault charges.Although not an economist, the 55-year-old gained wide respect as France's point-woman during its leadership of the G20 as well as in European debt talks over the past three years.She spent her first day at the IMF's Washington headquarters in meetings with the Fund's management team, the executive board, department chiefs and other staff.But her debut was marred by a sharp downgrade of Portugal's sovereign debt to junk status by Moody's.The powerful rating agency warned that Lisbon could not meet the reform requirements of its first 78-billion-euro ($112 billion) IMF-European Union bailout and would need a second rescue package.That comes after weeks spent recasting the 110-billion-euro IMF-EU rescue of Greece -- including, tentatively, a restructuring of its debt held by banks -- in which Lagarde played a key role as French finance minister.Portugal's deterioration, following Greece's, could come to test the IMF's commitment to eurozone stability.A lawyer by training, Lagarde joined Baker & McKenzie in 1981 specializing in labor and anti-trust issues.The divorced mother of two quickly rose in the ranks and ultimately moved to the company's Chicago headquarters to oversee global operations.
In June 2005, she joined the French government as trade minister, and then in 2007 she became France's, and the G-8's, first ever female finance minister.She won the IMF job over Mexican central bank chief Agustin Carstens, maintaining Europe's 65-year lock on the position, the result of a pact with the United States dating back to the founding of the institution.The deal has drawn accusations that the Fund is overly aligned with European and US thinking and not sensitive to the situation of emerging and poor economies.Small countries should have an appropriate voice. Since the global crisis, small countries have faced particular challenges that require greater attention from the IMF, South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said last week after Lagarde was chosen.Critics also said Lagarde was too close to the eurozone crises to be independent.She is committed to serve as IMF managing director for five years after three previous directors, all Europeans, left the job early, according to a statement of her terms of appointment.Lagarde was given a pay package of $467,940 in annual salary net of any taxes, and $83,760 in allowances for maintaining a scale of living appropriate to her position.The terms of appointment to Lagarde's new job require her to observe the highest standards of ethical conduct, consistent with the values of integrity, impartiality and discretion.You shall strive to avoid even the appearance of impropriety in your conduct,they said.Such terms were not in the contract signed by her predecessor in 2007.
Strauss-Kahn resigned on May 18, five days after he was arrested in New York on allegations that he tried to rape a hotel chambermaid.He has denied the charges, and prosecutors have since admitted serious concerns over the accuser's credibility.
Media reports said prosecutors were moving toward dismissing the charges, with the New York Post citing defense sources as saying Strauss-Kahn had engaged in consensual sex with the maid, but then angered her by refusing to pay for it, prompting her accusations.
Shades of Bollywood: Temple Yields Treasure
by Aryeh Ben Hayim JULY 5,11
It wasn't Indiana Jones but an Indian lawyer concerned about the security of donations to the 16th-century Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Trivandrum, India, prompted the discovery of a 22 billion dollar treasure trove of gold and jewels donated by believers over the years.Six of the temple's seven vaults have been opened and another behind doors of iron remains sealed and could push up the value of the treasure if it yields up similar contents.Appropriately, there are legends attached to the Temple and the remaining unopened vault, namely concerning the evils that will befall the person who opens the vault. Calamity has already befallen some who participated in opening the other vaults One committee member has suffered an injury in the leg while another member's ailing mom passed away Monday.The royal family that administered the temple (India had many royal states before it attained independence and abolished the separate royal states while compensating their rulers) added to the mood:Numerous stories are there, though no one knows their veracity. But not many are willing to ignore them either. The deity is believed to have immense powers and many who have done things not in tune with temple customs have suffered.
The unexpected treasure trove immediately touched off a debate about what to do with the contents with proposals ranging from transforming the collection into a museum, retaining the treasures in the Temple but with added security, or selling off the contents and using the proceeds for poverty relief.Those in favor of a museum are already envisioning the site as competition for New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre in Paris or the Vatican Museum and draw in tourists.Those favoring turning it over to the state of Kerala note that the state has acquired an enviable record in reducing infant mortality and promoting literacy and therefore money turned over to the state would not be wasted. Kerala had an important Jewish community in Cochin but most members of the community have since immigrated to Israel.Status quo adherents argue that the treasures were donated for religious purposes and the wishes of the donors should not be tampered with.(Israel National News.com)
Fresh financial scandal hits EU parliament
VALENTINA POP 05.07.2011 @ 17:38 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A fresh row broke out on Monday as allegations of embezzlement to the tune of €40,000 by a Romanian far-right MEP came to light - just days after the working group on transparency finalised a code of conduct following a cash-for-amendments scandal in March.In a letter sent to the European Parliament's administrative services, Romanian MEP assistant Catalin Marin claims that he never received any payment from his boss Corneliu Vadim Tudor, for whom he worked as a locally employed assistant in Romania.From July 2009 until today I have not received any sum of money for the work I did as an a locally hired assistant to the parliamentary office of Tudor, the letter reads.Marin claims that he was stunned to find out in June, while trying to get a loan from a Romanian bank, that his signature was forged on three working contracts and that he was supposed to pay taxes for some €40,000 that he supposedly cashed in since 2009.After filing a criminal complaint with the Romanian police for forgery and embezzlement, the assistant is asking the European Parliament to send him any documents proving that he was hired or fired as a local assistant.Tudor retorted violently in a phoned-in tv intervention on Monday night, calling Marin a stupid moron whom he helped because his father used to be a decent spy.Romania's Communist intelligence service, the infamous Securitate, used to be one of the most dreaded repression tools behind the Iron Curtain.I would strangle him with this hand, which supposedly forged his signature,the far-right leader threatened, calling the whole case a politically motivated affair.
These fresh allegations come just as the European Parliament is trying to recover from the so-called cash-for-amendments scandal in March, when Sunday Times journalists posing as lobbyists videotaped three MEPs willing to take money for amendments.Two of them - Ernst Strasser from Austria and Zoran Thaler from Slovenia - resigned immediately.But Romanian MEP Adrian Severin who had invoiced the journalists for his extra work, kept his seat and has signed in this week during the plenary session in Strasbourg, despite having his immunity stripped and an ongoing criminal investigation by the Romanian anti-corruption prosecutors.A new Code of Conduct for MEPs banning any side activities and pressing for more transparency in their expenses is to be adopted by the end of the year. But experts are sceptical that this paper will work, so long as there is no strong will to enforce and to sanction wrongdoings - a point where the EU Parliament so far has been dragging its feet.Natacha Cingotti from Friends of the Earth Europe - an NGO pressing for more transparency in EU institutions - told this website that is impossible to assume that all MEPs automatically behave in an ethical way, and this is why tight rules and related monitoring and enforcement mechanisms are needed.If the Tudor case proves to be true, Cingotti says, this will only widen even more the gap between citizens and the EU bodies. It's odd that these people who are elected directly by the citizens seem to care so little about their constituencies,she said, pointing to comments made by Severin that his behaviour was normal.

Greece faces massive loss of sovereignty
HONOR MAHONY 04.07.2011 @ 09:22 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Eurozone finance ministers over the weekend staved off looming bankruptcy in Greece by agreeing to release the next tranche of aid to the country, but Athens will pay with a massive loss of its sovereignty, the eurozone chief has said.In return for the €12 billion - the fifth payment from the €110 billion EU-IMF loan agreed last year - Greece will have to push through a swathe of privatisations reminiscent of the selling of East German firms in the 1990s after the fall of Communism.The sovereignty of Greece will be massively limited, Jean-Claude Juncker told Germany's Focus Magazin in an interview published on Sunday (3 July), just hours after the eurozone ministers reached agreement.For the upcoming wave of privatisation they need a solution modelled on the German Treuhandel, he said referring to an agency used by Germany to sell off some 14,000 former East German firms, at a huge job and profit loss.Greece has agreed to raise €50 billion by 2015 through a massive sell-off of state assets. This and austerity measures imposed by the government have been hugely unpopular, bringing Greeks to the streets in their thousands to protest.In order to make sure Athens follows through on its commitments, the plan will be supplemented by large-scale technical assistance from the European Commission and member states, finance ministers said Saturday.
Acknowledging the difficulty for Greece, the Luxembourg prime minister said that Greeks should not be insulted so much as supported and looked after. Still, he pointed out that the country had brought its fate upon itself.[The crisis was] largely self-made. Between 1999 and 2010, wages rose by 106.6 percent, even though the economy did not grow in equal measure. The wage policy went completely out of control, while productivity was not taken into consideration, said Juncker.Over the weekend the EU ministers agreed to pay €8.7 billion to Greece. The remaining €3 billion is expected to be signed off by the IMF by the end of this week.The agreement means that Greece will be able to meet its repayments due mid this month.
However, the ministers did not agree the terms of a whole new bailout noting that the precise modalities and scale of private sector involvement had yet to be determined. Agreement is now expected in September although the issue will be discussed again when ministers meet on 11 July.One of the sticking points is a Finnish demand that it can lend to Greece only if Athens provides collateral. There is also uncertainty over a German-led push to enlist private creditor participation.
Gaza flotilla boats preparing to confront Greek coastguard ANDREW RETTMAN 04.07.2011 @ 10:04 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Flotilla members are preparing to defy a Greek order not to sail to Gaza, as Athens says the project would threaten regional stability.Armed and masked Greek soldiers already stopped and detained the US boat, The Audacity of Hope, when it left the port of Perama on Friday (1 July) on grounds that the vessel was not seaworthy.The Greek authorities later the same day issued a blanket order for all nine flotilla boats not to sail and offered to deliver the humanitarian supplies to Gaza themselves together with Israeli help. The Quartet - the EU, Russia, the UN and the US - on Saturday also published a communique urging the boats to deliver their cargo through established channels.Greek foreign ministry spokesman Grigoris Delavekouras told EUobserver the sailing ban was made on the basis of maritime law, both national and international ... safety mainly, it has to do with the safety of people at sea.He noted that wider political considerations also played a part: All the countries in the region are of the view that this constitutes a threat to themselves and a potential escalation in the area which is going through a very sensitive time right now.He acknowledged that talks with Israel also had a role in the decision, after Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman over the weekend claimed the clampdown as a diplomatic victory. We have been in contact with everyone, we certainly know the Israeli position,Delavekouras said.Lieberman had told Israel's Army Radio things do not just happen on their own.He also made fun of flotilla organisers' claims that Israeli agents had sabotaged some of the vessels in the run-up to the weekend, saying: The activists are trying to blame someone for their failure – no doubt they have watched too many James Bond films.For their part, the flotilla campaigners remained defiant on Sunday.
They rejected the Greek offer to deliver aid saying this would not fulfill the political objective of the project, which is to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza.A spokeswoman for the project said the boats will sail on Monday, rendezvous at sea on Tuesday and aim to reach Gaza by Thursday.Birgitta Jonsdottir, an Icelandic MP who is among the 300-or-so activists collected in Greece for the mission, said in a statement she will call upon the foreign affairs minister in Greece to show some courage, to stand up against foreign powers - in this case Israel.She added: It is hard to imagine that the Israel government has managed to get the Greek government do their dirty work for them in Greek waters.Eight of the 51 people due to sail on Audacity of Hope gave begun a hunger strike to protest against the Greek actions.
Some left-wing Greek MPs, such as Mihail Krisotakis, also criticised the government. The Greek government is obeying the orders of Israel and that is why the ship is anchored here. Were Greece a genuine democracy, the ship would have already set sail,he told Israeli daily Haaretz after visiting the moored boats.In a variation of the attempt to break the sea-blockade on Gaza, some 700 pro-Palestinian activists have said they plan to fly to Israel's Ben Gurion airport on 8 July. The move is designed to disrupt flights as a form of civil disobedience, with some participants to try to get to Gaza on foot afterward.Israeli commandos last year shot and killed nine flotilla members and briefly arrested all those on board.

It’s Final: Barak Won’t Transfer Terrorist Bodies
by Elad Benari JULY 5,11
Defense Minister Ehud Barak made a final decision on Tuesday evening regarding the transfer of bodies of Hamas terrorists to the Palestinian Authority, and has ordered that no bodies of terrorists who committed attacks against Israeli citizens be transferred to the PA.Earlier, Barak had suspended Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s instruction to transfer 84 bodies of terrorists to the Palestinian Authority, explaining the move might hurt efforts to free kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit.Netanyahu’s announcement on Monday said the bodies would be handed over to the PA as a goodwill gesture towards the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which begins in August.The terrorists whose bodies would have been transferred include some who have committed some of the most gruesome terror attacks against Israelis since 1967.
The list included, among others, the body of Hanadi Jaradat, the PA woman who blew herself up in Haifa’s Maxim restaurant in 2003, killing 21 people, as well as the bodies of Amar Ali Abdullah who carried out a suicide bombing operation in the Carmel market in Tel Aviv in 2004, and Abdullah Abdullah, who blew himself up in the Stage nightclub in Tel Aviv in 2005, killing four.Barak reportedly ordered not to negotiate with the PA about returning the bodies of those three terrorists. In addition, he also instructed not to include terrorists who were residents of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip in future talks on handing over bodies of terrorists.
Barak’s decision was met with anger by the Palestinian Authority, which demanded that Israel return any terrorist bodies in its possession regardless of their affiliation,as senior PA official Hassan a-Sheikh was quoted as saying.(Israel NationalNews.com)
IAF Hits Terror Tunnel in Northern Gaza
by Elad Benari JULY 5,11
An IAF aircraft hit a tunnel used for terrorist activity in the northern Gaza Strip late Tuesday evening, the IDF Spokesperson’s office reported. A direct hit was confirmed. The tunnel was intended for infiltrating into Israel and executing terror attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.The IDF Spokesperson said the attack came in response to the firing of Kassam rockets at Israeli territory over the past few days. On Sunday, terrorists fired a rocket towards the western Negev. The missile exploded in an open area, causing no injuries or property damage.The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, and will continue to operate with strength and determination against anyone who uses terror against the State of Israel, the Spokesperson said in a statement.The IDF holds the Hamas terrorist organization solely responsible for any terrorist activity emanating from the Gaza Strip.The IAF hit on Tuesday one was the second time in one day the IDF targeted Gaza terrorists. Earlier in the day, IAF warplanes fired a missile at a group of terrorists who were preparing to launch a rocket into Israel.The latest terror attacks came on the heels of an Israel Security Agency report, according to which there was a decline in the number of terror attacks in June.(Israel National News.com)

Eitan: Blocs to be Annexed; Rest of Yesha to be Abandoned by David Lev JULY 5,11
For perhaps the first time, a minister in Binyamin Netanyahu's government has admitted that the Prime Minister plans to give away most of Judea and Samaria to an incipient Arab state, with Israel retaining only the settlement blocs. During a tour of Gush Etzion, Michael Eitan, whose title is Minister for Improvement of Government Services, said that enacting the Prime Minister's policies will lead to the annexation of the settlement blocs, including Gush Etzion, with the intent of giving up other parts of Judea and Samaria for the benefit of a Palestinian state.Gush Etzion Council head Shaul Goldstein, who accompanied Eitan during the tour, said that he appreciated the minister's vote of confidence in the future of the Gush, even if he disagreed with Eitan on surrendering other parts of Yesha.In his comments, Eitan was referring to a speech by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to the Knesset in mid-May. In the wake of that speech, several right-wing MKs expressed concern over the fact that Netanyahu stressed that Israel would keep the settlement blocs in any final-status settlement with the PA – but that painful concessions would need to be made. This was taken by many as a sign that Netanyahu was prepared to give them away to the PA for establishment of an Arab state in Judea and Samaria.
After the speech, government Minister Benny Begin said in several interviews that he knew for certain that Netanyahu had not intended to imply an Israeli withdrawal from non-bloc areas of Yesha. A report on Arutz 7 said that following the speech, Likud MK Tzipi Hotovely approached Netanyahu and said,The rule that you set implies the exception to the rule,meaning that his insistence on retaining the settlement blocs means that the other towns are expendable. Netanyahu responded, That is not the intention.Although Eitan seemed to imply that he was speaking for Netanyahu in his statement, he is considered to be one of the Likud's left-leaning MKs. Speaking at a Likud faction meeting earlier this year, for example, Eitan advised against an Israeli annexation of parts of Judea and Samaria, saying it would boomerang against Israel. All Likud Prime Ministers have been against such a move, which would further isolate Israel and cause great damage. It would act as a boomerang, and prevent further Israeli development in the settlement blocs, he said.If what Eitan says is accurate, tens of thousands of Jews could be evicted from their homes, says National Union Chairman MK Ya'akov Katz (Ketzaleh). In a recent interview with Arutz 7, Ketzaleh said that based on his analysis of the speech, the Prime Minister would likely seek the removal of over 120,000 Jews from their homes. In his analysis, Ketzaleh named dozens of towns that are outside the settlement blocs he believes Netanyahu is referring to – with large towns like Beit El, Karnei Shomron, Givat Ze'ev, Kedumim, Kiryat Arba, and many others on the chopping bloc, since they are outside the settlement blocs.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Japan to conduct stress test on nuclear plants
AFP JULY 5,11
Japan will conduct a stress test on all its nuclear plants to check their resilience following the crisis at the tsunami-struck Fukushima Daiichi plant, Japanese media said Wednesday.Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Banri Kaieda announced the plan as he pledged to secure enough electricity supplies for the peak usage summer months, Jiji Press said.A 9.0 earthquake and a tsunami on March 11 crippled cooling systems of the Fukushima Daiichi plant operated by Tokyo Electric Power on the nation's northeast coast, triggering reactor meltdowns.The plant spewed radioactive materials into the air, soil and sea in the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986.Utilities not directly affected by the March disaster have not restarted reactors that were undergoing maintenance at the time, due to objections from local governments amid a wave of anti-nuclear sentiment.Only 19 of Japan's 54 reactors are now operating, with more due to shut down for regular checks, forcing companies and citizens to save power.
Flood surge raises fears of Mont. oil spill spread
By MATTHEW BROWN - Associated Press | JULY 5,11
LAUREL, Mont. (AP) — Crews cleaning up an oil spill on the Yellowstone River faced difficult conditions Tuesday as the scenic waterway rose above flood stage and stoked fears that surging currents could push crude into undamaged areas and back channels vital to the river's prized fishery.Conditions on the swollen Yellowstone have hampered efforts to find the cause of Friday's break in the 12-inch pipeline that spilled an estimated 1,000 barrels of crude oil.The river has been flowing too swiftly for crews to reach some oiled areas, and forecasters said mountain snowmelt was adding to high water levels. Officials speculated that the surge may push oil into areas that haven't yet been damaged.Much of the riverbank also is covered with dense underbrush, making it difficult to walk the shoreline. Most observations have been made through aerial flights.Sweat-drenched workers in hazmat suits and life-preservers slogged through the riverside vegetation under a blistering sun. Some raked oily muck into trash bags; others dabbed at blackened grass with absorbent pads.Booms to collect the oil bobbed in water, and plastic kiddie pools were set up for workers to wash off their boots once they left the water.A few miles downriver from the broken pipe, homeowner Robert Castleberry said he had been out of his house since Saturday because of dangerous fumes from oil that the river pushed across his yard and into the crawlspace beneath his house.Castleberry's wife suffers from heart disease and the fumes gave her difficulty breathing, he said. While he appreciated the company promising to cover the couple's immediate expenses, the retired fuel truck driver was doubtful workers would be able to clean up the black, gooey film that laced through the underbrush along the river.
Exxon's been nothing but 100 percent with us, he said.But when you get into brush that thick, that's going to be virtually impossible to clean.Company and federal officials said they have only seen oil about 25 miles downstream from the site of the break near Laurel. But Gov. Brian Schweitzer said he believes some has traveled hundreds of miles to North Dakota.At seven miles per hour, some oil is already in North Dakota. That's a given, Schweitzer said. I'm asking everyone to get out there and report what you see on the river.Representatives of Exxon Mobil and the Environmental Protection Agency said they had no reports of oil beyond the town of Huntley.Company officials said they were concentrating cleanup in that area, but have acknowledged the scope of the leak could extend beyond the 10-mile stretch that they initially said was the most affected area. Sherman Glass, Exxon's president of refining and supply, said crews have identified 10 places where oil has pooled in the heaviest amounts between Laurel and Huntley.Exxon Mobil Pipeline Co. President Gary Pruessing has said the company is not limiting the scope of the cleanup to the immediate site. Exxon planned to test the river's conditions with a jet boat, with eight more on standby if the launch is successful, Glass said.Water-quality tests downstream of the spill site began Monday, with more planned, according to EPA spokesman David Ostrander.The Silvertip pipeline is buried just under the bottom of Yellowstone River, delivering 40,000 barrels of oil a day to a refinery in Billings. Pruessing said it took a half-hour to shut down and seal off the ruptured pipe after workers spotted a dip in pressure.
But documents released by the Department of Transportation showed the pipeline was not fully sealed for 49 minutes. The longer time was based on information provided to the federal agency by Exxon Mobil, company spokesman Alan Jeffers said.He added that the discrepancy may have resulted from Pruessing speaking without notes in front of him. Clearly our communication with the regulator (DOT) is the one that we've got precision on, Jeffers said.Federal regulators have ordered Exxon to make safety improvements to the 20-year-old pipeline. Among them was an order to re-bury the line to protect against external damage and assess risk where it crosses a waterway.Company officials said they were considering burying the line deeper when it is repaired.The company also will have to submit a restart plan to the Department of Transportation before crude can again flow through the line, which delivers oil to a refinery in Billings and other customers.When companies are not living up to our safety standards, we will take action, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement.Schweitzer also ordered a review of pipelines that cross major and minor rivers in the state. Officials will look at the pipes' age, location of shutoff valves and whether they are similar to the ruptured pipe. He said the state has 88 such crossings.Modern pipelines can be buried as much as 25 feet beneath bodies of water; Exxon Mobil's Silvertip line was 5 to 8 feet below the bottom of the Yellowstone.The line was temporarily shut down in May after Laurel officials raised concerns that it could be at risk as the Yellowstone started to rise. The company restarted the line after a day, following a review of its safety record.
The cause of the rupture has not been determined, but company and government officials speculated that high waters in recent weeks may have scoured the river bottom and exposed the pipeline to damaging debris.The site is downstream of Yellowstone National Park, which is about away and not under threat. But the stretch of the river where the spill occurred is home to sauger, bass catfish, goldeye, trout and, farther downstream below Miles City, native pallid sturgeon.Schweitzer said he noticed that oil was pooling in areas near banks with slower-moving water, close to islands and cottonwood stands that support the microbes and insects that bring life to the river.Those riparian areas are a biological treasure trove. That's the health and wealth of the river,he said.

Arizona fires essentially out; flood worries next
By BOB CHRISTIE, Associated Press – Tue Jul 5, 5:03 pm ET
PHOENIX – The biggest forest fire in Arizona history is all but contained, and authorities are shifting their focus to preventing massive flood damage as summer storms begin to hit.The specialized firefighting management teams that had battled the blaze in eastern Arizona's Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest pulled out Tuesday. Patrolling the completed fire lines and corralling the last 5 percent is now up to local forest officials and the White Mountain Apache Tribe.Officials say rains will be the next disaster to avert, since a substantial part of the fire area suffered severe soil damage. They say the worst runoff will happen where the fire burned the hottest and prevented the soil from absorbing rainfall.Two other major fires that burned in recent weeks will raise the same concerns.Apache County engineer Ferrin Crosby says a small thunderstorm Monday night quickly turned the Little Colorado River into a raging torrent. Such a storm normally wouldn't affect flows.

Moderate 5.4 quake hits western Japan
– Tue Jul 5, 7:45 am ET
TOKYO (AFP) – A moderate 5.4-magnitude earthquake hit western Japan on Tuesday, seismologists said, but no tsunami warning was issued.The quake hit at 7:18 pm (1018 GMT) in Wakayama prefecture, some 450 kilometres (279 miles) southwest of Tokyo, with its epicentre a shallow 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) deep, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.A 9.0-magnitude quake that struck the country's northeast on March 11 and the tsunami that followed left 23,000 people dead or missing and triggered an atomic crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Libya denies Russian report Gaddafi seeking way out
By Lamine Chikhi | Reuters – JULY 5,11
TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Muammar Gaddafi is sounding out the possibility of handing over power, a Russian newspaper reported on Tuesday, but the Libyan government denied it was in talks about the veteran leader stepping down.Five months into a conflict that has embroiled NATO and become the bloodiest of the Arab Spring uprisings, there has been a flurry of reports about talks on Gaddafi ending his four decades in power in exchange for security guarantees.Russia's respected Kommersant newspaper based its story on a high-level source in Moscow. The report was denied in Tripoli, and Italy said it believed talk of a deal was a ruse by Gaddafi's administration to sow confusion.Information about negotiations about Gaddafi stepping down or seeking a safe refuge inside or outside the country is simply untrue, Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim told Reuters.Gaddafi is not negotiable, this is our position of principle, and the future of Libya will be decided by Libyans. Gaddafi is an historical symbol, and Libyans will die to defend him,said Ibrahim.The United States reiterated its position that Gaddafi should step down. We support whatever's going to get us to a place where Gaddafi knows it's time for him to go, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.Fighting between government forces and rebels continued, with rebels taking some of the heaviest shelling in recent weeks.
