Ultra-Orthodox Jews hurled bags of foul-smelling liquid and threats of hellfire at marchers in Jerusalem's annual gay pride march on Thursday but the event passed without serious violence.A man was arrested on the spot for throwing bags of liquid at participants, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told AFP. Apart from that there were no other incidents.In 2005, an ultra-Orthodox Jew stabbed three participants in the march and was subsequently sentenced to 12 years in prison.Ultra-Orthodox Jews consider the event to be an abomination and desecration of the Holy City.Police estimated the number of marchers this year at 3,000 and said that 1,000 police were deployed to keep order.Although the march was routed away from predominantly ultra-Orthodox neighbourhoods, a small number of protesters held placards, including one reading, Gays, they are waiting for you in hell.Other opponents brought donkeys, symbolising their view of homosexuality as a beastly act.

George Lopez Will Self-Deport If Palin Wins: Another Great Reason to Vote Palin!- John Lillpop Thursday, July 28, 2011 CFPRESS
http://www.mrctv.org/video/104040

Hispanic racist and alleged comedian George Lopez has made the American people an offer that we simply cannot afford to pass on.Said the befuddled Lopez:If Sarah Palin becomes president at any point, I would say allegedly, I will move to Canada, Lopez told the British talk show host. I will go further north. I’ve been south but I will go further north. I will leave the United States of America.When Morgan asked Lopez to expand on this drastic decision, the Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 actor explained that he wants people in power to be politically experienced.I like my politicians to actually have a political background, to know politics, Lopez said of the former vice presidential candidate and governor.Imagine that! A voter who actually wants politicians to have a political background.If only millions of Americans had used that criteria in 2008, Barack Obama would still be misrepresenting the people of Illinois in the U.S. Senate!Here is hoping that Palin wins AND that Lopez keeps his promise and takes 20 million illegal aliens with him!
Sorry about that, Canada!

DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

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

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

Labor Unions, GE, and the Job Czar CANADA FREE PRESS
- Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh Thursday, July 28, 2011


In a free market economy, no single wage level applies to all workers. In general, wage differentials are determined by the fact that we have many labor markets, each with its own supply and demand and equilibrium wage.Each worker in a specific labor market has certain ability and expends a degree of effort commensurate with their ability and work ethic. Other factors of production make American workers more productive because they have generous supplies of machinery, natural resources, and technical expertise. Therefore, they earn higher wages. Some workers have a superior education, training, and experience.The size of the available working population explains the magnitude or dearth of industrial activity. Sparsely populated Alaska experienced high wages when the Alaskan oil pipeline created many jobs, while wages in Appalachia remain low.The nonmonetary attractiveness of a job explains why pleasant and self-satisfying jobs, such as teaching, attract many workers and pay a relatively low wage. Disagreeable and dangerous jobs, such as working with gunpowder or mining, command higher wages.Some workers receive economic rent for their unique abilities that few people can duplicate, such as a famous surgeon, athlete, or actor. Their wages will have a component to the pay that does not reflect necessarily the amount of labor hours.Investment in education or human capital is also a variable in wage differentials. It is the perceived incorrect opinion that an educated person will make a better worker.

Doctors and lawyers earn such high salaries partly because of their many years of training and financial investment in their human capital, time, tuition and books. They have to eschew any part-time work for years in order to study for very difficult classes and exams. The years that they do not work, is income lost that cannot be recovered in the future.Education theorists assume that students in high schools and colleges acquire skills that make them more productive and knowledgeable. Experience tells us that is not necessarily the case. Some are more willing to learn than others are, but are not necessarily productive. People with higher education earn more money but there is definitive disagreement among experts why.The dual labor market has the primary good jobs market with the possibility of promotion and the secondary bad jobs market with little hope for advancement. Increased education leads to promotion in the first tier while more education in the second tier offers little hope for promotion.In many labor markets, the supply of labor is not competitive because it is controlled by labor unions and collective bargaining, a form of monopoly. Less than 9 percent of the labor force is now unionized; the decline was caused by the diminishing manufacturing base and the move to a service economy.Unions, as monopoly sellers of labor, have the power to push wages above the competitive level in the marketplace. Unions and management settle on the terms of a labor contract through a process called collective bargaining: mediation, arbitration, and strikes.Outsourcing and cheap foreign labor, in spite of the economists denial, have hurt the American manufacturing base and American workers. Consumers, however, have benefitted greatly and so did the Chinese, other foreign workers, and their respective economies, built on the destruction of our industrial base and reverse engineering.The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) was established by Executive Order 6763 on June 29, 1934 and was formed on July 5, 1935. In 2008, it had 1,628 employees.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is an independent agency of the U.S. government charged with conducting elections for labor union representation and with investigating and remedying unfair labor practices. Unfair labor practices may involve union-related situations or instances of protected concerted activity.The NLRB is governed by a five-person board and a General Counsel, all appointed by the President with Senate consent. Board members are appointed to five-year terms and the General Counsel is appointed to a four-year term. The General Counsel acts as a prosecutor and the Board acts as an appellate judicial body from decisions of administrative law judges.In April 2011, NLRB filed a complaint seeking to force Boeing to bring an airplane production line back to its unionized facilities in Washington State instead of moving the work to a nonunion plant in South Carolina.
Companies have taken advantage of the right to work rules in most Southern states to locate there without fear of work stoppages at every turn. Any company should have the right to locate their business where they feel it is in their best interest. Apparently, the government disagrees when union employees are employed in another state.Boeing transferred a second production line of its 787 Dreamliner plane to South Carolina; they were accused of unlawful retaliation against union workers for their past strikes in Washington and discouraging future strikes. NLRB acting general counsel, Lafe Solomon, said it was illegal for companies to take actions in retaliation against workers for exercising the right to strike.

President’s appointees at NLRB have declared open season on Right to Work states, independent workers, and job providers

President’s appointees at NLRB have declared open season on Right to Work states, independent workers, and job providers like the Boeing Company.The saga continues with a quickie or ambush election rule that would shorten the time for union elections from a median 38 days to as little as 10. The stacked deck in favor of unions would:Deny employees adequate time to make informed decisions on whether to join a union
Silence employers from expressing their views on unionization to employees
Push Big Labor’s radical agenda

Wisconsin’s Governor Scott Walker waged a battle with labor unions in his attempt to balance the state’s budget. Wisconsin had public collective bargaining rights since 1959 and employees had very generous benefits. I would never understand why public employees need protection from the public, essentially themselves. They simply expected other workers in the state to pay for their Cadillac health care plans, benefits, generous salaries, and retirement pay.After a three week standoff during which massive union and Democrat forces from across the country caused millions of dollars in damage to the State’s Capitol, the 14 Democrat Senators fled the state in order to deny a quorum vote to pass a budget measure, the Republicans outmaneuvered them, and the law was passed.A recent update alleges that some school districts in Wisconsin are now showing a surplus instead of a deficit. It seems that the insurance company that provided all the benefits to the teachers was owned and operated by the teacher’s union.The insurance was guaranteed to get the teacher’s business and the State had to pay for it, not the teachers. The insurance would increase the annual costs every single year, to become the most expensive insurance in the state. In turn, the insurance company would donate millions of dollars to their favorite Democrat politician. Once elected, the politicians kept funding the unions’ outrageous costs.The latest development in the Big Labor saga is the move by the General Electric to transfer its X-ray machine operations from Waukesha, Wisconsin to China. The 100-year old business will “tap emerging market growth.” Is this a wondrous coincidence or what?

GE will invest $2 billion across China, including opening six customer innovation and development centers.Is this a good idea since we have such high unemployment here in the U.S.? Are they using taxpayer dollars when we are broke and are debating default v. raising the debt ceiling by borrowing another trillion dollars from China? The move follows the introduction earlier this year of GE Healthcare Spring Wind initiative to develop and distribute medical products and services in China,GE said in a statement.GE is the biggest maker of MRI and CT scanners and sold $1.1 billion of its $16.9 billion in China last year. GE will hire 65 new engineers and support staff at the new Chengdu facility. GE has already hired a large number of engineers who are in training.Considering that Mr. Immelt, General Electric’s CEO is our Jobs Czar, does it not seem bizarre that he is killing jobs in the U.S. and creating jobs in China? Is this punishment for Governor Walker winning the fight in Wisconsin against Big Labor?

Democrat Senators Say They Will Refuse to Stop Spending - Sher Zieve Thursday, July 28, 2011 CAN FREE PRESS

Despite any and all protestations from the American people—and just as they forced ObamaCare down our throats—Democrat Senators (each and every one of them) have declared they will NOT stop spending We-the-People’s money…period! In fact, in a Wednesday letter sent to Speaker of the House John Boehner, all 53 Marxist-Democrat Senators said they will refuse to pass the House debt ceiling increase ($900 Billions) and spending reductions of about the same amount proposal, even before the revised effort (more spending cuts are now appropriately included in the first year) has been read.Instead, they are demanding Sen. Harry Reid’s (and apparently also RINO Sen. Mitch McConnell’s) proposal be swallowed; a bill that demands the debt ceiling be raised by $2.7 Trillions! Please note that the spending cuts referred to as in the proposal and neither visible nor itemized. By the way, when was the last time a Marxist-Democrat cut out any spending at all? And, yet, the CBO is said to favor the Marxist plan? Only the Marxists claim the now wholly-owned Obama CBO is non-partisan.With no additional doubts—whatsoever—Democrat Senators have now come out into the open and are shouting that they rule over us all, they have ended our Republic and that we’d better shut up and get used to taking anything they and their Emperor-and-usurper-in-Chief Obama decide to employ against us. In other words, these beings have openly announced that they now own We-the-People body and soul, we can’t do anything about it and if you want us to be benevolent slave masters, you’d better smile and say Yes Massa when we speak and give you one of our new commandments!

Marxist-Leninist Sen. Harry Reid and Sen. John McCain (with childish Lord of the Rings references) continue to blame the various TEA Parties—who now actually represent the majority of the American people—for not compromising with the aging totalitarian Senate. These reprobates also quietly blame the TEA Parties for the increased political knowledge and savvy of the American people. It’s now much harder for the degenerates to pull the proverbial wool over our eyes. After McCain’s comments on the Senate floor Wednesday, I think this majority wishes that he would return to middle earth.This Armageddon is totally manufactured by our overseers. As a country, we take in approximately $200Billions/month and can well afford to pay all of our debts and responsibilities. The lies Obama & Co have been spewing about no Social Security checks and no Medicare (Obama and the Congressional Democrats have already stolen $500Billions from Medicare to pay for their We now control your bodies ObamaCare program) are only due to the fact that the Tyrant Obama can opt NOT to pay them if he so desires. And, a recent poll suggests that at least 40% of polled Americans believe he would do it. Even the majority of those who voted for Obama probably didn’t see this coming. Folks, we’re quickly approaching—actually being unmercifully pushed into by those we elected to office who now contend they are our betters—the time when we will have to actively and physically fight back at our oppressors or live in a police state that we allowed to take us over. Chillingly, we’re almost there, and Congress and the dictator-in-chief are working on driving the final nails into our coffin. Be both forewarned and as prepared as possible for yourselves and your families. Unless we stop it, the deep darkness will continue to descend upon us…

Tropical Storm Don crossing Gulf, bound for Texas
By The Associated Press – JULY 28,11


MIAMI – Tropical Storm Don is over the central Gulf of Mexico but the system is not expected to become a hurricane as it moves toward southeastern Texas.The National Hurricane Center in Miami says Don's maximum sustained winds Thursday were 45 mph (75 kph). Slow strengthening is forecast before the storm makes landfall on the Texas coast late Friday or Saturday.A tropical storm warning is in effect for the coast from Port Mansfield to San Luis Pass.The storm is centered about 410 miles (660 kilometers) east-southeast of Corpus Christi, Texas, and is moving west-northwest at 16 mph (26 kph).

Record rains soak U.S. Midwest, prompting more flood fears By James Kelleher – Thu Jul 28, 1:57 pm ET

CHICAGO (Reuters) – Overnight storms dumped a record amount of rain on parts of the Midwest, including more than 10 inches falling on Dubuque, Iowa, prompting fears of more Mississippi River flooding.The hardest hit area appeared to be the Mississippi River town of Dubuque, Iowa, where more than 10.3 inches fell over the past 24 hours, prompting officials to close the city's flood wall along the river, which has risen over two-and-a-half feet since Wednesday.The storm, which was accompanied by spectacular thunderstorms that lit up the night skies like a Fourth of July fireworks display, triggered numerous lightning strikes in Dubuque. One bolt knocked off a section of an apartment building, according to Dubuque Fire Chief Dan Brown.We did call in all personnel, the first time in my career that I remember that we've called all hands,Brown said.That order went out almost immediately when we saw the magnitude of this event.Lightning strikes in Chicago and Detroit were blamed for blackouts and other electrical problems that left tens of thousands of people without power.Fire fighters also rescued a few Dubuque residents from flooding homes. Dubuque Police Chief Mark Dalsing said most of the city streets that were closed last night due to flooding were reopened by mid-morning.One of the biggest draws of our resources last night was stranded motorists and cars that were getting struck in the waters, trying to sneak through swollen roadways,Dalsing said.

In Chicago, the storms knocked out power to more than 60,000 customers, according to ComEd. In Detroit, the utility DTE said 19,000 customers were without power.The overnight storm brought Chicago's July total rainfall to nearly 10 inches, the most in more than 120 years.It also provided temporary relief from the extreme heat that has baked the city and surrounding region for more than a week and caused at least 64 fatalities in 15 states, according to the National Weather Service.The Julian Dubuque Bridge over the Mississippi River is closed and Highway 151 has been closed near Cascade as water is over both lanes of the road.Dubuque Public Works director Don Vogt says his crews are busy picking up debris and finding manhole covers to make the city streets passable.The Mississippi River is expected to rise another two feet on Thursday at Dubuque, Vogt said.The weather service said 10.36 inches of rain fell in the past 24 hours at the Dubuque airport. Rainfall of 7.4 inches for Wednesday alone set a new record for Dubuque. The old record, of just over three inches, was set in 1896.The Jo Davies County Courthouse just across the border in Illinois is closed, due to the rain, and some residents of East Dubuque, Illinois, were evacuated this morning. Reports along the Maquoketa River indicate some livestock were swept away in flash-flooding.(Writing by James B.

Landslides, Flooding Bring Disaster to South Korea
Tammy Lee Morris – Thu Jul 28, 1:30 pm ET

South Korea saw natural disaster Wednesday after a landslide engulfed a resort in Chuncheon and heavy rains caused flash flooding that left streets and subways underwater in the Korean capital city of Seoul. The landslide buried 10 college students, a married couple and a store owner while the flooding in Seoul brought a landslide that killed at least 16 people.In total, the death toll stood at 36 from the landslides and flooding, but that number was expected to go up as rescue workers continued searching for survivors; according to The Associated Press, dozens were still missing. In Seoul, more than 17 inches of rain fell, while 13 inches hit Chuncheon. According to the Korea Meteorological Society, average rainfall totals for the country during the month of July is around 13 inches.More rain is expected in the region by Friday to the tune of about 10 more inches, adding more risk of flash flooding and potential for landslides.According to a news report, the heavy rains that started Tuesday and continued through Wednesday left more than 600 people homeless after over 700 houses and about 100 vehicles were flooded.Flooding has been a constant headline this year, with heavy rains causing disaster in many countries, including the United States, which saw spring and summer flooding in several states in the Midwest and Great Plains.

Earlier this month, heavy rains caused landslides in Nepal, killing at least 65 people and trapping several more. It was reported that at least 44 people were killed by landslides. In that country, more than 100 people die each year from similar disasters.In the Philippines, at least 20 people died after flooding and landslides that were triggered by Tropical Storm Nock-ten.Three days of heavy rain in Chittagong, Bangladesh, left 17 dead in late June after the rains triggered a landslide that buried several shanty houses where several women and children were sleeping, according to AFP.More than 400 have been left dead or missing in China since the month of June following excessive rains that triggered landslides and flooding in that country. Early July brought a landslide in the Shaanxi, a province in northern China. Most recently, a mudslide triggered by rain damaged a bus and a truck, leaving 13 dead.In the U.S. state of Utah, mudslides that were triggered by rain in early July brought temporary closure of American Fork Canyon. There were no reports of injuries and those mudslides were described as minor.

Asian markets open lower amid US debt nervousness JULY 28,11

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Asian markets moved mostly lower early Friday as a congressional vote on a bill to extend the U.S. government's debt ceiling was delayed with time running out ahead of a deadline for action next week.The Treasury Department says the debt ceiling — currently at $14.3 trillion — must be raised by Tuesday or the government won't have enough money to cover all its bills, which has led to fears the United States could default on its debt and harm the fragile global economy.In Asia, markets moved downward, but the declines were far from steep as investors appeared to take a wait-and-see stance amid the ongoing political wrangling in Washington.Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average fell 0.1 percent to 9,891.45. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index slipped 0.2 percent to 22,525.65. China's Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.1 percent to 2,707.28.South Korea's Kospi fell 0.3 percent to 2,149.15. Australia's benchmark also fell, but New Zealand's moved higher.

The dollar fell to 77.72 yen in Asia from 77.88 yen late Thursday in New York. The euro fell to $1.4313 from $1.4311.Republican leaders in the House of Representatives delayed the vote on the bill to extend the government's debt limit and cut federal spending, though there was an expectation it would occur later Thursday evening in Washington.On Wall Street, a late sell-off Thursday erased earlier gains as investors fretted that the bill headed for a vote in the House of Representatives would fail to lead to a breakthrough in the debt stalemate.The Dow Jones industrial average fell 62.44 points, or 0.5 percent, to close at 12,240.11 on Thursday. The index had been up as many 82 points earlier in the day following an unexpected decrease in new claims for unemployment benefits.The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 0.3 percent to close at 1,300.67. The Nasdaq composite index, however, edged up 0.1 percent to 2,766.25.Benchmark oil for September delivery was down 24 cents to $97.20 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude rose 4 cents to settle at $97.44 Thursday.

Debt-limit vote postponed as GOP seeks support
AP By DAVID ESPO - AP Special Correspondent | JULY 28,11


WASHINGTON (AP) — The endgame at hand, House Republicans struggled Thursday to pass legislation to prevent a looming government default while slicing nearly $1 trillion from federal spending. Senate Democrats pledged to scuttle the bill — if it got to them — in hopes of forcing a final compromise.As afternoon debate headed toward evening, GOP leaders ordered an unexplained halt on the measure and Speaker John Boehner summoned a string of recalcitrant rank-and-file Republicans to his office.
Asked what he and Boehner had talked about, Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said,I think that's rather obvious. .. There's negotiations going on.Another Republican, Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas, said he was unhappy Boehner had jettisoned a requirement contained in earlier legislation for Congress to pass a constitutional balanced-budget amendment and send it to the states for ratification.Why are we negotiating with ourselves? he asked rhetorically.It wasn't clear how long the delay might last, although a spokesman for Boehner said the vote was still expected to take place later in the evening.The White House quickly taunted Boehner's Republicans.Clock ticks towards August 2, House is naming post offices, while leaders twist arms for a pointless vote. No wonder people hate Washington, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer tweeted.

Earlier, Boehner had exuded optimism.Let's pass this bill and end the crisis, said the president's principal Republican antagonist in a new and contentious era of divided government.It raises the debt limit and cuts government spending by a larger amount.President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the measure, and in debate on the House floor, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida savaged it as a Republican plan for default. She said the GOP hoped to hold our economy hostage while forcing an ideological agenda on the country.Despite the sharp rhetoric, there were signs that gridlock might be giving way.Around here you've got to have deadlock before you have breakthrough,said Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D. We're at that stage now.Wall Street suffered fresh losses as Congress struggled to break its long gridlock. The Dow Jones industrial average was down for a fifth straight session.The Treasury Department moved ahead with plans to hold its regular weekly auction of three-month and six-month securities on Monday. Yet officials offered no information on what steps would be taken if Congress failed to raise the nation's $14.3 trillion debt limit by the following day.Without signed legislation by Aug. 2, the Treasury will not have enough funds to pay all the nation's bills. Administration officials have warned of potentially calamitous effects on the economy if that happens — a spike in interest rates, a plunge in stock markets and a tightening in the job market in a nation already struggling with unemployment over 9 percent.White House press secretary Jay Carney outlined White House compromise terms: significant deficit reduction, a mechanism by which Congress would take on the tough issues of tax reform and entitlement reform and a lifting of the debt ceiling beyond ... into 2013.

The last point loomed as the biggest obstacle.The House bill cuts spending by $917 billion over a decade, principally by holding down costs for hundreds of government programs ranging from the Park Service to the Agriculture Department and foreign aid.
It also provides an immediate debt limit increase of $900 billion, which is less than half of the total needed to meet Obama's insistence that there be no replay of the current crisis in the heat of the 2012 election campaigns.An additional $1.6 trillion in borrowing authority would be conditioned on passage of at least $1.8 trillion in further savings to be recommended by a newly created committee of lawmakers. Those deficit reductions would presumably come from cuts to benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicare, as well as an overhaul of the tax code generating additional government revenue.The GOP bill's $917 billion in upfront spending cuts was trillions less than many tea party-backed rank-and-file Republican lawmakers wanted, but a total that seemed nearly unimaginable when they took power in the House last winter with an agenda of reining in government. Numerous Republicans grumbled that the legislation didn't cut more deeply, and Boehner and the rest of the GOP leadership have spent their week cajoling reluctant conservatives to provide the votes needed to pass it.By most accounts, they were succeeding.It gives us a little bit of heartburn because it doesn't go big enough, said Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., a first-term lawmaker who said he would vote for the bill as the best one available.Another first-term Republican, Rep. Martha Roby of Alabama, said the bill was far from perfect. But I don't have the luxury of writing the plan by myself, and neither does Speaker Boehner.While the White House and Democrats objected to the House bill, they readied an alternative that contained similarities.Drafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, it provides for $2.7 trillion in additional borrowing authority for the Treasury. It also calls for cuts of $2.2 trillion, including about $1 trillion in Pentagon savings that assume the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.Even before the House voted, Reid served notice he would stage a vote to kill the legislation almost instantly.

No Democrat will vote for a short-term Band-Aid that would put our economy at risk and put the nation back in this untenable situation a few short months from now, he said.With the House and Senate focused on debt-limit legislation at opposite ends of the Capitol, eleven religious leaders protesting budget cuts were arrested in the Rotunda midway between the two chambers.Democratic Rep. Chellie Pingree of Maine said on the House floor that they were praying for those who will be hurt the hardest by the bill being considered.Rep. David Dreier, R-Calif., countered that he, too was praying — to avoid a default.The day's events marked the climax of a struggle that began last winter, when the Treasury Department notified Congress it would need additional borrowing authority, and Boehner said any increase would have to include steps to reduce future spending.At first the White House balked at the terms, then relented. That gradually morphed into a series of bipartisan negotiations, one led by Vice President Joe Biden, then another by Obama, and finally, a round of golf that led to stab at a grand bargain between the president and Boehner.Boehner announced last Friday he was calling off the talks, setting in motion a frantic week of maneuvering as the default deadline grew near.Associated Press writers Andrew Taylor, Donna Cassata, Stephen Ohlemacher, Larry Margasak, Martin Crutsinger, Charles Babington, Darlene Superville and Jim Kuhnhenn contributed to this report.

IMF warns France on budget deficit targets
HONOR MAHONY 28.07.2011 @ 09:24 CET


The International Monetary Fund has warned France that it will have to carry out more spending cuts to ensure it reaches its deficit reduction commitments amid lower-than-expected growth expectations.While France has predicted 2.25 percent growth for 2012, the Washington-based fund in its yearly assessment of the French economy said the economy will only grow by 1.9 percent next year.Under (IMF) staff's current projections, achieving the deficit target of three percent of GDP by 2013 requires further measures.As tax rates are already among the highest in Europe, France will have to reduce spending, said the IMF, citing healthcare and pension spending in particular.French president Nicolas Sarkozy has pledged to get the budget deficit down to 5.7 percent of GDP this year, 5.6 percent next and within the EU limit of 3 percent in 2013.He is under pressure to meet the commitments having last week spearheaded, along with Germany, a second bailout for Greece in order to contain the eurozone debt crisis.The IMF also underlined the importance of cutting medium-term spending for maintaining France's strong credit rating.France cannot risk missing its medium-term fiscal targets given the need to strengthen implementation of the (EU) Stability and Growth Pact and keep borrowing costs low by securing France's AAA-rating,the report said.But with presidential elections next year, Sarkozy is likely to have a difficult juggling act between keeping the electorate sweet and maintaining his budget commitments.

Cyprus downgrade

Meanwhile the markets continue to view key eurozone countries with a jaundiced eye even after last week's deal which attempted to draw a line under the crisis.The borrowing costs of Greece, Italy and Spain rose on Wednesday following comments by German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble that the more flexible arrangements agreed by EU leaders for the use of the €440bn eurozone rescue fund would not amount to a blank cheque.In a letter to German MPs, obtained by Reuters news agency, he stressed the "strict conditions" needed for allowing the European Financial Stability Facility to purchase bonds on the secondary market.On the same day, Standard and Poor's rating agency, one of the three main international agencies, put Greece's credit rating further into junk territory, putting it just two grade above default status, saying that EU plans to get Athens' economic house in order would put the country into selective default.This followed a move by Moody's rating agency on Monday to downgrade Greek debt to one notch above default status.There was bad news for Cyprus too on Wednesday.Citing the increasingly fractious domestic political climate and Cypriot banks' exposure to Greece, Moody's downgraded the Mediterranean island's credit rating by two notches and warned a further cut was possible.The downgrade raised the spectre of Cyprus becoming the fourth eurozone country to need a bailout, following Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

EU scrambling for measures against lone wolf terrorists VALENTINA POP 28.07.2011 @ 18:53 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - An Oslo-type of attack would be hard to prevent in any EU country, since the lone-wolf terrorist went to great lengths to avoid being detected, an EU counter-terrorism expert has said.It's true that nobody expected what happened last Friday,Timothy Jones, advisor to the EU counter-terrorism co-ordinator, told reporters on Thursday (28 July) after a snap meeting of EU and Norwegian anti-terror experts.Expressing his admiration for the calm and measured way Norwegian leaders have dealt with this shocking event, Jones said that such an attack could have been carried out in any EU country, because the perpetrator put a lot of effort into avoiding detection by the police and intelligence services.

Anders Behring Breivik, the self-confessed mass murderer of 76 people killed by a car bomb in central Oslo and a separate shooting spree on an island last Friday, had set up an organic farm to cover for the fact that he was buying large quantities of fertiliser to fabricate the bomb. He also legally owned the two assault rifles he used in the attack.EU experts, pending the results of the Norwegian investigation, are now looking at the possibility of making stricter rules on access to chemicals that can be used to make bombs, such as ammonium nitrate and hydrogen peroxide. Further restrictions on the sale of weapons may also be taken into consideration, Jones said.Examining the psychological mechanisms that make someone with radical ideas turn to violence is also on the table.There is a lot of academic work about this, but we're trying to get some workable input that people on the ground - social workers, policemen - can use,he explained.But the counter-terrorism expert also acknowledged the limitations of this approach, like if a person such as Breivik, a 32-year old highly educated Norwegian native, never gets in touch with social workers or police. We try, but we can never guarantee this will succeed,Jones said.The expert also rejected criticism that the EU may have been focusing too much on jihaddists and neglecting rising right wing radicalism.

Counter-terrorism experts always look at the whole spectrum of radicalism, he said, noting that the rise of right-wing extremists were flagged up in Europol's latest reports.But it's also important to remember that it is not the ideology which triggers these people to become terrorists. A lot of people have radical ideas and don't turn to violence. There are other factors, they are alienated individuals trying to make a point about the way they see the world. In some cases they chose al Qaeda ideology to pursue that, in other cases they may choose another ideology, he noted.An intensification of surveillance measures is however likely to happen, Jones said, with more focus on "analysing what groups are saying on the internet, looking at people's travel patterns and suspicious financial transactions.

Norwegian security

Meanwhile, the Norwegian authorities have also announced they will review their security strategy.An independent commission is set to look at all aspects of the deadliest attacks the Nordic country experienced since World War II, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said Wednesday.Breivik's claims that other people in Norway and abroad are part of his deadly plans are being investigated, but Norwegian security police chief Janne Kristiansen said there was no evidence found so far to sustain his claims.We don't have indications that he has been part of a broader movement or that he has been in connection with other cells or that there are other cells, she said, adding that Norwegian authorities were in close contact with authorities in countries.Security measures have been tightened in Oslo, and the central station was briefly evacuated on Wednesday after a false bomb alert.

Just How Much Would it Cost to Satisfy Protesters Demands? by David Lev 29/07/11, 12:46 AM

It seems to be protest season in Israel, as groups around the country, with various backers, coalesce into a movement that could have real force at the polls in a future election.Usually, it is the hareidi-religious who demonstrate for their needs in the summer bein hazmanim period when they are off from yeshiva while the rest of the country enjoys what Israelis call the cucumber season, an idiom for the lazy days of summer.The protests that began just weeks ago with a boycott against cottage cheese have picked up steam far faster than anyone thought could happen, to the point that on Thursday, the protests for affordable living expanded to include parents of young children, who are now demanding totally free education for children up to age five.This week, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his government announced a wide-ranging plan to build more affordable housing, with the state reducing taxation for contractors who promise to rent out apartments at reasonable prices, and state-sponsored construction of apartments for the poor and dormitory rooms for students. Unsatisfied with that, Histadrut chairman Ofer Eini threatened a major strike next week unless real changes were made to the economy – and in response, Netanyahu sent Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz to negotiate with Eini.

Considering the fiscal prudence with which Netanyahu and Steinitz have conducted the government until now, observers have been somewhat surprised at how free the pair have been with money in recent weeks. Perhaps out of concern that the Prime Minister and Finance Minister are blowing the nation's budget, sources in the Treasury released a report Thursday estimating how much it would cost the state if the government were to attempt to buy its way out of the protests, providing funds to solve the problems protesters are railing against.For example, the plan announced this week, if it indeed delivers the estimated 160,000 housing units needed to provide all those who seek one an affordable apartment, will cost the government at least NIS 2 billion in lost taxes and fees, as the land for rental apartments and affordable housing will be sold at a discount to contractors who promise to build affordable housing.In addition, the plan includes another billion shekels for infrastructure development. Add to that sum billions more for affordable housing for students, as well as NIS 300 million for dormitories for students that the plan promises.Providing free space for children in day care pre-1A and nursery school – long demanded by parents, who on Thursday took the streets as well – would cost the government a whopping NIS 16 billion, the report estimates.Extending maternity leave to a full year, also long demanded by women's groups, would cost another billion.

And recognizing child care expenses for tax purposes, allowing deductions for day care and pre-kindergarten education (an alternative to full government funding for these classes) will cost the state NIS 7.1 billion in taxes that it will no longer collect.And, if the government lowers the price of gas by cutting various taxes, capping gas taxes at 30% of the actual cost, the state would give up NIS 8 billion.
Last but not least, agreeing to all the demands of striking doctors will cost NIS 2.5 billion.Altogether, the government would have to spend some NIS 60 billion if it indeed wanted to spend its way out of protesters's pressures – and with Netanyahu and Steinitz committed to keeping taxes and costs down, observers were wondering just where the money to pay for all these demands would come from.

Canada's Opposition Loses Leader at Critical Stage-Jack Layton, arguably Canda's most popular politician, is taking a leave of absence to fight cancer.by Amiel Ungar 29/07/11, 1:13 AM

Even in the rough and tumble world of politics, it is saddening to see a politician sidelined by illness rather than by the voters. This is particularly the case with New Democratic Party leader Jack Layton who is personally responsible for taking a marginal party, whose leadership he assumed in 2003, and transforming it into Canada's center-left party by displacing the Liberals - the perennial contenders for governmental power.In less than ten years Layton quadrupled the party's support. Under his leadership, the NDP also marginalized the Quebec separatists in the last election and became the dominant party in the French-speaking province.Layton has now announced a leave of absence from politics to fight a new outbreak of cancer.

The Conservatives in May won a majority in Parliament that will suffice for four years, so Layton has time to make a recovery, and when he returns, as the party hopes, the NDP interim leader will gladly step aside. .Layton has constantly polled better than his party. He has also been skilled in welding together the party's various factions. There are members who still consider the NDP to be a socialist party, while the pragmatists would like to move into the space left vacant by the defeat of the Liberals and display a more business-friendly side.Layton hopes to be back in time for the opening of the parliamentary session on September 19, but he recommended the selection of Nycole Turmel as interim leader. Ms. Turmel is a newcomer to Parliament, was the first female head of the Public Service Alliance union and joined the NDP after supporting French nationalist parties in the province of Quebec.This was another challenge that Layton hoped to manage - solidifying the party's tremendous breakthrough in the French-speaking province. The success was so astounding that 58 members of the NDP's 109 parliamentarians come from Quebec.As Turmel's career indicates, just because these parliamentarians were elected as NDP candidates, it does not necessarily mean that they are averse to French-Canadian nationalism. The trick is to maintain dominance in Quebec without offending English speaking Canadians, many of whom feel that their politicians have babied the French speakers. Layton, who grew up in Quebec but represents a district in Ontario, was deemed capable of mastering that challenge.

Obama Administration Attempts to Pacify Critics of Russia by Amiel Ungar 28/07/11, 8:58 PM

The Obama Administration has put much stock in its reset policy with Russia. Under reset, the United States did not publicly criticize Russia for human rights violations and other practices that are inimical to democratic standards.In response for such realism, the administration hoped to gain Russian support on such issues as Iran and North Korea, as well as an alternative supply route to Afghanistan. This policy satisfied the Russian leadership to the extent that President Dmitry Medvedev has already endorsed Barack Obama for a second term in office.This week the reset was looking a bit tattered. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton informed Congress that the US was imposing visa restrictions on Russian officials connected with the death of Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer for Hermitage Capital.Hermitage Capital was a seed fund started by banker Edmond Safra and Bill Browder (ironically, the grandson of the former American Communist Party leader Earl Browder) for investments in Russia. Magnitsky charged Russian police officials and bankers with tax fraud and the police turned around and charged Magnitsky with the same crime. During his remand he was denied medical treatment and as result he died at the age of 37. Browder has launched a crusade to punish the guilty.

Actually, the Administration announced the measure to head off a more comprehensive bill in Congress. The Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act would not only blacklist the 60 police officials involved in that case, but also those involved in the murders of Russian reporters and human rights workers.The State Department warned the law makers that the passage of the bill could jeopardize important American interests that required cooperation with Russia.The Russians were not amused as visa blacklisting is a tactic frequently employed against Haitian or African dictators, but not exercised against states that regard themselves as great powers. The measure is viewed as attempts to interfere in the course of the investigation and pressure judicial bodies, hence inadmissible.President Dmitry Medvedev ordered an independent investigation into the Magnitsky case when he sensed the diplomatic fallout. This effort has silenced criticism within the European Union but has not produced the same calming effect in the United States.In the Russian Duma, nationalist deputies suggested that Russia could retaliate by restricting entry, freezing assets and banning business deals by foreigners suspected to have violated the rights of Russian citizens.In another sign of growing tension, Russia's ambassador to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin, called Republican senators John Kyl of Arizona and Mark Kirk of Illinois radicals and monsters of the Cold War. After meeting with them he came away convinced that if Barack Obama was defeated, US-Russian cooperation would collapse.

Ahmadinejad: Arab Unrest Saving Israel
by David Lev 28/07/11, 10:28 PM


The protests in the Arab world against government tyranny – like that practiced by the governments of Syria and Libya – are not really about securing liberty for the residents of those dictatorships, says Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In the latest iteration of Ahmadinejad's blame everything on the Jews ideology, the Iranian leader says that the only reason Arabs are protesting is that they were put up to it by the Zionists.In the final days of their existence, plotters intend to cause difference and clash in our region to save the Zionist regime (Israel), Ahmadinejad said, dismissing the claims of the protesters themselves, who claim they are fighting oppressive, entrenched leaders who care not a whit about them. Untrue, says Ahmadinejad: Arrogant powers are selling their arms and creating conflicts in the region,the state-run IRNA news agency quoted him as saying.These arrogant powers – generally Ahmadinejad's code name for Israel and the U.S. – use such weapons to damage countries and plunder assets and oil of nations under the pretext of making progress in their countries, he added. It was the protests in the Arab world that were saving Israel, he said – and Arabs would do well to patch up their internal differences and concentrate on the true enemy.In an earlier statement, Ahmadinejad more directly blamed Israel for the unrest in the region. Meeting with Turkish officials, Ahmadinejad said that Israel and the U.S. had placed their agents in Arab countries in order to sow discord. The Zionist entity is the greatest threat to the region,the Iranian dictator said. Arab states must be wary of the plots of foreigners.

Part Human/Part Animal Hybrid Monsters Created By Scientists All Over The Planet The American Dream July 28, 2011 Hybrid

Crazed scientists all over the globe are “playing god” with the very building blocks of life. Today, thanks to extraordinary advances in the field of genetic modification, scientists are now able to do things that were once unthinkable. Part human/part animal hybrid monsters are being created by scientists all over the planet and it is all perfectly legal. Scientists justify mixing the DNA of humans and animals by claiming that it will help them cure diseases and feed the world, but the reality is that all of this genetic modification is a tremendous threat to the human race. It is only a matter of time before humans start allowing themselves to be genetically-modified in order to fight illness or to enhance their abilities. The temptation to insert the genes of animals or plants into people in order to create super soldiers or a superior race will certainly prove to be much too tempting. Unless something is done to hold all of this back, it seems almost certain that genetic hell will be unleashed on the human race. Once genetically-modified humans start breeding with normal humans there will be no putting the genie back into the bottle. Eventually, we could get to the point where there are very few 100% humans left.Most Americans have heard about genetic modification, but most of them don’t know a whole lot about it.Today, the vast majority of the corn and the vast majority of the soy that you eat have been genetically-modified.In fact, there are thousands upon thousands of food products on store shelves today that contain genetically-modified material.But modifying plants is one thing. What is even more frightening is when scientists use genetic modification to mix humans with animals.

Recently, a Daily Mail article discussed a new report in the UK that noted that over 150 human-animal hybrid embryos have been created in British labs. The following is a brief excerpt from that article….Scientists have created more than 150 human-animal hybrid embryos in British laboratories.The hybrids have been produced secretively over the past three years by researchers looking into possible cures for a wide range of diseases.The revelation comes just a day after a committee of scientists warned of a nightmare Planet of the Apes scenario in which work on human-animal creations goes too far.So who is going to tell scientists when they have gone too far? Most countries around the globe allow scientists to do pretty much whatever they want when it comes to genetic modification.The mixing of humans and animals is even going on inside the United States.The following is from an article posted on MSNBC a few years ago entitled Scientists Create Animals That Are Part-Human….On a farm about six miles outside this gambling town, Jason Chamberlain looks over a flock of about 50 smelly sheep, many of them possessing partially human livers, hearts, brains and other organs.What do you think most Americans would say if you told them that creatures that are part human/part sheep are being grown inside the United States? Do you think that they would believe you? Well, it turns out that our scientists are creating all kinds of monsters that are part human. Just check out what that same MSNBC article said is currently going on….In the past two years, scientists have created pigs with human blood, fused rabbit eggs with human DNA and injected human stem cells to make paralyzed mice walk.So shouldn’t we be getting upset about all of this? Of course we should be.But the mainstream media barely mentions the bizarre human/animal hybrids that are being created all over the country and so most Americans don’t even realize that it is happening.There is a lot of other sick stuff going on out there as well.Did you know that in many areas it is perfectly legal to create human clones for scientific research purposes? It’s true.

For example, LifeNews.com recently reported that in the state of Minnesota it is now perfectly legal to use taxpayer dollars to create cloned human embryos.Scientists claim that this is perfectly acceptable because they only allow the clones to live for a few days.Are you disturbed yet? If not, you should be.There is some really twisted stuff going on in the scientific community.Scientists are now coming up with some very unique ways to expand the food supply.In fact, many of us may soon be eating human gelatin.According to an article in Science Daily, scientists are excited about the potential of putting human-derived gelatin into marshmallows, candy and other desserts….Scientists are reporting development of a new approach for producing large quantities of human-derived gelatin that could become a substitute for some of the 300,000 tons of animal-based gelatin produced annually for gelatin-type desserts, marshmallows, candy and innumerable other products.Doesn’t that just sound so yummy? So exactly how would this human gelatin be made? The following is how that same Science Daily article describes the process….To get around these difficulties, the scientists developed and demonstrated a method where human gelatin genes are inserted into a strain of yeast, which can produce gelatin with controllable features.Yuck.Pretty soon we all may actually be eating soylent green.Look, if you don’t know much about genetic modification you really need to get educated because it is one of the greatest threats our planet is facing today.My recent article entitled Genetic Modification Gone Wild: 10 Signs That Our World May Be Destined To Resemble A Really Bad Science Fiction Movie is a great place to get started.The following are a few examples of genetic modification involving human DNA that are noted in that article….

*In China, scientists have inserted human genes into the DNA of dairy cow embryos. At this point, approximately 200 hybrid cows have been successfully produced. These cows can produce milk that is virtually identical to human breast milk. The scientists hope to have huge herds of these cows producing an alternative to human breast milk soon, and they hope to have this milk sold in global supermarkets within 3 years.
*Scientists at Rockefeller University have injected human genes into mice. These humanized mice are being used to study the spread of the hepatitis C virus.
*In Missouri, entities that are part pig and part human are being grown with the goal of providing organs for human transplants.Countries all over the world are doing this kind of research.Unless people start objecting, this research is going to keep spreading and it is going to keep becoming even more bizarre.Science is messing with the very building blocks of life. If we are not very careful, our children and our grandchildren will be living in a world where man-made life and human/animal hybrid monsters are running around all over the place.

GM Human-Animal Hybrids Emerging Market for Organs, Babies, Pharma TheFrontlineReports Infowars.com July 27, 2011

Scientists have hoped for decades that developments in genetic research could lead to biotech applications. Now, human-animal hybrids and transgenic clones are paving the way for organ harvesting and artificially-created human life. But what are the ethics behind this new technology? A biotech culture of pharming has also emerged where cloned animals with inserted cross-species genes are used to produce everything from a GMO-version of human-like bovine milk, to pharmaceutical drugs, to spider-silk bred in goats and glow-in-the-dark puppies, kittens and mice made translucent by the application of jellyfish genes.Are there any safeguards or ethics in place to slow abuses of this emerging technology? And how long has science been developing cloning technology? Is it longer than we have been led to believe? The technology promises to aid infertile couples even as global fertility plummets. It gives hope for those in need of organ transplants. It gives the potential for efficient industrial production of synthesized drugs and enhanced food products. But is it safe? Who is watching? And have we unleashed Pandora’s Box? Control over the Transgenic human-animal hybrid pose lucrative possibilities for new monopolies based on gene-patents for life, but it also threatens the integrity of the genetic code of life. GMO crops like soy have caused infertility and cancer in lab mice, much of which did not show expression until the second or third generation. If these devastating side effects show up in humans, it could take generations to understand or mitigate. Scientists from Purdue University concluded more than a decade ago that GM Salmon could cause the extinction of wild salmon populations within just 40 generations, yet this Frankenfish is poised to enter the global market place and your dinner table.

Genetic Genocide: Humanity’s Greatest Threat
Aaron Dykes & Alex Jones Infowars.com July 27, 2011


Pandora’s Box has surely been opened. A dangerous genetic experiment has come out of the shadows, and the human-animal hybrids, chimeras and other transgenic clones it has yielded now threaten to endanger and irrevocably alter life as we know it.The controllers of elite-funded science and R&D have wantonly tampered with the genetic code of the planet, ignoring the rather obvious dangers posed by cross-species experimentation and flagrantly jeopardizing the earth’s delicately-balanced biodiversity.In a special video, Alex Jones addresses the profound risks posed by genetically-modified hybrids now featuring prominently in the field of biotechnology.

Fresh revelations about a secret lab program in the UK admittedly ongoing for the last three years that developed such bestial-hybrids only serves to reinforce our available data concerning the fact that genetically-modified laboratory creations are fast spinning out of control. Now the biotech industry has unleashed these Franken-breeds into the world under the auspices of monopolizing some of the most important and dangerous developments in Agra, Pharma and Medical research for the 21st Century. Their GM solutions to life’s challenges promise lucrative returns, as we reported earlier today, due royalties on their patented gene-expressions.Transgenic clones, created by deleting-and-replacing DNA sequences to create a cross-species hybrid (xenotransplantation) that is then grown in a host egg, are fast becoming a pet-project of corporate science that offers to fulfill “Pharming’s” promise of replacement organs for ailing humans, industrial and pharmaceutical applications of artificial-protein production, and the hope of successful outlets for artificial fertilization & human cloning in an age of increasing sterility and infertility. However, it is these man-made creations that pose the greatest risks– including contamination, proven links to sterility in offspring and risks of cancer. Many clones, including the world’s famous first-cloned sheep, Dolly, have had conspicuously short lives and bad health. Arthritis, breathing problems and more have plagued their existence, while hundreds of embryos fail in cultivation for each successful clone. Still others die in the womb after only days, yet these entities are trusted to fulfill humanity’s betterment.

In particular, mixing the human genome with that of various useful animals crosses the extremely risky bridge formerly separating many beast-borne diseases from those that typically affect humans, or plant species for that matter. The contagion of mixing unrelated species like mammals and jellyfish genes gives the opportunity for unforeseen consequences and uncontrollable mutations. Further, many genes which scientists have previously believed to be equivalent have proven to behave differently when transplanted into foreign DNA sequences. Additionally, lack of recognition or compensation for pleiotropic genes (where a single gene gives expression for multiple traits) makes some of the consequences unforeseeable, yet predictably dangerous.Grotesque experimentation, iconically portrayed for more than a century in globalist H.G. Wells’ The Island of Dr. Moreau, has now come to life– growing human ears on the backs of mice, harvesting human-marked organs from cows, pigs and other host-species, synthesizing strategic proteins in host-milk production and other seemingly-sci-fi applications– paving the way to future biotechnology. Creations like spider-goats are raised in contradiction to nature’s laws, all in the name of reaching industrial production of a stronger-than-steel protein from spider-silk that can create fibers for items like bullet-proof vests, sold directly to the military-prison-industrial complex, further feeding the total domination of mankind.GMO species have become absolutely invasive, and their Doctors Frankenstein have unleashed them intentionally to wreck and destroy the native competing species. Crop contamination of non-GMO plants, combined with the genocidal effects of Terminator seeds is devastating to ordinary farmers. Consumption of GMO crops have proven ties in mice studies to sterility (shown to be delayed until the second or third generation) as well as cancer and other issues.Powerful globalists have declared themselves God, and seek to limit the complex expression of life with cheap carbon-copy clones that threaten to displace the genuine flora, fauna and other life on this planet. Not long ago, the world’s most prestigious scientists considered some 96% of DNA to be throwaway junk with no genetic value. Now, in greater arrogance, they will make far greater mistakes as they pretend to understand the path to transhumanism where man supposedly ascends to godhood through life extension. Humanity must stand up and say no before it is too late.

Texas DPS Aggressively Recruits Former Military
Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com July 27, 2011


An email received by Infowars.com documents an aggressive effort by the Texas Department of Safety to recruit former members of the military.The email consists of an internal memo sent to DPS employees. The information was not intended to be released to the citizens of Texas.The DPS is responsible for statewide law enforcement and vehicle regulation. In addition to the Texas Highway Patrol and Emergency Management, the DPS is responsible for combating terrorism and organized crime, according to its website.The memo is further evidence that Texas is actively militarizing its law enforcement. Other states are also aggressively militarizing law enforcement.The federal government has actively militarized law enforcement since the 1990s.The DPS memo follows:From: Mange, Tela Sent: Friday, July 22, 2011 12:01 PM To: GRP_DPS Everyone Subject: DPS in the News

DPS in the News is intended for DPS employees ONLY. Please don’t share outside the agency! Thanks.

· At yesterday’s Public Safety Commission meeting, the Commission discussed recruiting efforts, as well as the introduction of the 9-hour workday for commissioned officers. Director Steven C. McCraw outlined an aggressive recruiting strategy that includes focused recruitment of former U.S. Military personnel and the creation of Regional Recruit Prep Schools that will provide an orientation to prospective recruits and their family members regarding what to expect as a DPS Trooper.Chairman Allan Polunsky said, During a time period where resources are sparse, some law enforcement agencies were not as fortunate as DPS. State and local law enforcement agencies are suffering from layoffs of commissioned officers. The Legislature’s willingness to fund DPS for a 9-hour workday, rather than responding to budget cuts with layoffs, furloughs and reductions in pay for our employees, truly highlights the amazing work that the men and women of DPS do for the State of Texas.The Commission also announced several personnel changes. Mike Simpson, Assistant Director/Chief of Law Enforcement Support Division will become Chief of Radio Interoperability Infrastructure for the State of Texas. Skylor Hearn, currently Regional Commander of Region 4 in El Paso will become the Assistant Director/Chief of the Law Enforcement Support Division. Amanda Arriaga of the Government Relations Division was named Chief of the newly created Public Affairs and Policy Division.

· Wilson E. Speir Scholarship applications will be accepted through August 5 th . Students must be classified as full-time criminal justice majors and enrolled in Texas universities. Two scholarships will be awarded for $500 per semester for up to two semesters. Applicants should submit resumes and transcripts of completed college work to: DPS, Director’s Office, P.O. Box 4087, Austin TX 78773-0110 Attn: Connie Wolridge.

· Help our agency save money and energy: turn out the lights when you leave the room for an extended period of time.

· If you’re a Certified Public Accountant, DPS has been approved as a CPE sponsor for CPAs. Many of the courses taught through the Employee Development Unit, as well as the Interest Based Management course, can be reported as CPA continuing education hours. See http://dpsnet/Divisions/DirectorStaff/EDUWeekly/Report/CourseReminder.mht for courses!

· Only FOUR 75 th Anniversary Commemorative firearms are left! Fewer than 500 of these firearms were made, which should make them more valuable as collectors’ items. If you’re interested in purchasing one of these firearms, call Kirk Limke, SIG’s law enforcement representative at 405-471-3733 .

· Fan mails!

I would like to compliment the staff of the Georgetown, Texas office. I renewed my license this morning, they were efficient, quick and very nice. My only complaint is the size of the facility. It was a very pleasant experience. Kudos to the staff!

Anonymous

and Customer service seems to be a lost art. The last place I expected to find it was at the DMV. Boy, was I wrong. I arrived at the Ft Worth DMV at about 8:45 AM yesterday (Friday 6/24) to a packed room. My goal was to assist my daughter with her application for a Driver’s Learner Permit. There was a line to sign-in / get a number, but the line moved quickly and the lady at the desk was helpful and informative (courteous too). The waiting room was a bit Spartan, but acceptably comfortable, even for the size of the crowd. I was surprised at how quickly patrons were processed and my number was called well before I had anticipated. The gentleman who helped us was very pleasant and efficient. He processed the paperwork and offered enough conversation to help my daughter feel comfortable and relaxed (she was a little stressed about the test she was required to take). While waiting, I noticed that all of the employees interacting with customers were pleasant – even if the customer wasn’t. The interaction between employees seemed both efficient and fun – there was some light joking and conversation – nothing even approaching inappropriate. I was thoroughly impressed with the experience and would like to thank, not only the office employees who made out visit pleasant, but also the managers who’ve fostered this environment.Thanks again,Jim S.

and I am not submitting a question, rather a thank you to Livingston DPS. I was there to renew my license and my son to take his driving test. The customer service was outstanding! Seems like nowadays people don’t believe in courtesy. I think that the Livingston office should be the model that all the other offices are run like. They are ultra efficient and kind on top of that. So…THANK YOU!!! Dalita F.and

Chief Davio,I just wanted to let you know about the great service I received today when changing my name on my driver license. Estella Andrada met me at the door and explained the information I needed to complete on the application form. Chantal (I apologize, but I missed her last name) then took me to Rhonda Fowler to process my change. Rhonda was highly professional and friendly, and was patient with me when she had to reprint the temporary license because I signed it using my previous name. Your folks are doing great work and you deserve to be proud of them! Thanks,Valerie Brown Assistant Director Chief, Administration and Dear Mr. Kibodeaux:This letter of commendation is written on behalf of Ms. Naomi Goins, an employee at your Orange office. I was in the office on Monday, June 20, 20 II to renew my driver’s license and your employee was most professional in helping me. It is apparent to me that she has earned the respect of all her coworkers for her integrity and sincerity. This young lady has to be a vital and effective force in your company. I am humbled to write this letter of commendation on Ms. Goins; she if an asset in the Department of Public Safety Drivers Division. She will do well in any endeavor. I pray that God continues to shower her with his blessings.Sincerely,Bettie C.

ABBAS UN PLOY A FALSE IDOL-PROSOR

NSA Admits It Tracks Americans Via Cell Phones-Surveillance has been going on for over a decade Steve Watson & Paul Joseph Watson Prisonplanet.com July 25, 2011

The general counsel of the National Security Agency testified to a Senate hearing yesterday that he believes the agency has the authority to track Americans via cell phones.There are certain circumstances where that authority may exist, said Matthew Olsen the current nominee to head up the National Counterterrorism Center.Olsen made the comments to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence as Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) repeatedly asked if the government has the authority to use cell site data to track the location of Americans inside the country.Olsen added that the reason his answer was not definitive was that it is a very complicated question, assuring the committee that the NSA would provide more information in a future memo.Sen. Wyden recently wrote (full letter below) to the Director of National Intelligence demanding to know whether the CIA and the NSA have the authority to collect the geolocation information of American citizens for intelligence purposes.If yes, please explain the specific statutory basis for this authority, the letter, co signed by Sen. Mark Udall (D., Colo.) states.The Senators also requested information on how many Americans have been monitored under authority granted by 2008 legislation amending the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Have any apparently law-abiding Americans had their communications collected by the government? the letter asks.Two months ago Wyden expressed concern that the law relating to surveillance is unclear. The law is being secretly interpreted by the executive branch Wyden noted.Along with Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R., Utah), Wyden has introduced a joint bill that would force any government agency to secure a search warrant and show probable cause before tracking the location of any American.

The issue of cell phone tracking blew up earlier this year when it was revealed that computer researchers discovered a hidden file that allows Apple to track the location of iPhone and iPad users. Google’s collection of location from cellphones has also been open to question.As we have previously highlighted, however, since October 2001, the FCC has mandated that all wireless carriers track the location of their users down to within 50 feet.Under the 1996 Telecommunications Act, the FCC mandated that by October 1, 2001 a quarter of all new cellphones be equipped with GPS functionality that would allow authorities to track the location of users. By the end of 2002, this became a mandatory requirement of allnew cellphones.As Geek.com reported back in October 2001, Because cellphone calls to 911 (estimated at around 140,000 per year) do not give the 911 operator location information, the FCC mandated that wireless companies be able to locate 67 percent of callers to 911 within 50 meters that elect the handset solution while those using network technology must be able to locate the caller within 100 meters.” Wireless companies must also have one-quarter of the new cellphones they offer equipped to provide that location information by the end of the year, and all new cellphones so equipped by the end of next year.As a PC World article written in August 2001, two months before the first phase of the new FCC rules were enacted, asked, The FCC requires cell phone companies to track you, in order to find you when you call 911–but what about your privacy? Cell phone tracking was propelled by the Federal Communications Commission, which adopted enhanced 911 rules to cover wireless services. For E911′s first phase, cellular carriers must be able to pinpoint, to the nearest cell tower, the location of someone calling 911. For Phase II, carriers must be able to pinpoint a 911 caller’s location to within 50 to 300 meters,states the article.

Your cellphone has been tracking you in real time for the lion’s share of the last decade, so why has it taken the media nearly 10 years to notice? Because in 2001, when such measures could have been made illegal, there was no iPhone, there was no app store, and the smart phones being used were extremely crude compared to today’s models, which are no less than mini-laptops.In 2001, cellphones did little else than make calls and send text messages – these services didn’t require GPS technology. People weren’t addicted to their cellphones like they are today, they didn’t use them to catalogue, record and process every aspect of their existence.The likes of Apple have worked hard over the last decade to make hundreds of millions of people dependent on their gadgets, creating an army of addicts who couldn’t care less that their cellphone is transmitting their every move directly to Steve Jobs. In their eyes, the choice between sacrificing their privacy and sacrificing their precious apps is an easy one to make. Privacy can’t book a table at a restaurant in a few taps of a finger, nor can it tell you the weather forecast or where the nearest ATM is located.If the debate had been allowed to run its course in 2001, when cellphone tracking was first being adopted, the outcome may have been different. But since cellphone companies have been tracking their users for the best part of a decade, in line with government mandates, the recent controversy is merely part of the acclimatization process to achieve calm subservience and acceptance of the fact that true privacy is dead, and as Henry Blodget explains, Apple’s omnipresent brainwashing campaign has helped keep the outrage to a minimum.Sen. Ron Wyden’s letter inquiring over tracking of Americans by federal intelligence agencies:
July 14, 2011-The Honorable James R. Clapper, Jr. Director of National Intelligence Washington, DC 20511-Dear Director Clapper:In the coming months Congress is likely to consider various legislative initiatives that would modify different aspects of domestic surveillance law. We believe that the debate over these initiatives will be better informed if Congress and the public are provided with more unclassified information about how these initiatives will affect current intelligence authorities and activities.The FISA Amendments Act of 2008 significantly modified the US government’s surveillance authorities with regard to individuals believed to be located outside the United States. These new authorities are currently scheduled to expire in late 2012, and Congress could begin considering possible extensions or revisions to these authorities later this year. Since any thorough consideration will require an understanding of how the FISA Amendments Act has been interpreted and implemented, we ask that you provide unclassified answers to the following questions:

• In a December 2007 Statement of Administration Policy on the FISA Amendments Act, the Office of Management and Budget said that it would likely be impossible to count the number of people located in the United States whose communications were reviewed by the government pursuant to the FISA Amendments Act. Is this still the case? If so, is it possible to estimate this number with any accuracy?

• Official documents released in 2010 noted that there have been multiple incidents in which intelligence agency personnel have failed to comply with the FISA Amendments Act, and that Certain types of compliance incidents continue[d] to occur. Please elaborate on these compliance incidents to the extent possible, and explain why you believe that they have continued to recur.

• Have any apparently law-abiding Americans had their communications collected by the government pursuant to the FISA Amendments Act?

• Are any significant interpretations of the FISA Amendments Act currently classified?

Turning to another area of surveillance law, recent advances in geolocation technology have made it increasingly easy to secretly track the movements and whereabouts of individual Americans on an ongoing, 24/7 basis. Law enforcement agencies have relied on a variety of different methods to conduct this sort of electronic surveillance, including the acquisition of cell phone mobility data from communications companies as well as the use of tracking devices covertly installed by the law enforcement agencies themselves.Unfortunately, the law has not kept up with these advances in technology. As a result, courts in different jurisdictions have issued diverse, conflicting rulings about the evidence and procedures required for the government to surreptitiously track an individual’s movements using a mobile electronic device. Congress is now considering multiple legislative proposals that would attempt to establish clear rules for this sort of surveillance and will need to determine at some point whether it is necessary to update the laws that apply to intelligence investigations as well as the laws that apply to law enforcement investigations.While there is a substantial amount of public information available regarding different interpretations of this area of the law (including the executive branch’s interpretation and the interpretations of various courts) all of these interpretations apply to law enforcement authorities, not intelligence authorities. Clearly Congress needs to also understand how intelligence authorities are being interpreted as it begins to consider legislation on this issue. For this reason, we request that you also provide unclassified answers to the following questions:

• Do government agencies have the authority to collect the geolocation information of American citizens for intelligence purposes?

• If yes, please explain the specific statutory basis for this authority. And to the extent that this statutory basis imposes any procedural requirements, such as judicial review or approval by particular officials, please describe these requirements.

• If no, please explain the statutory basis for this prohibition.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your prompt response.
Sincerely,Ron Wyden Mark Udall United States Senator United States Senator.

Norwegian Police Unable to Find Link Between Breivik and Far Right Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com July 27, 2011

Police in Norway are unable to establish a link between Anders Behring Breivik and the English football hooligan group infiltrated by British intelligence.
photoScotland Yard called in to establish link between Anders Behring Breivik and so-called far right.Photo: Lee Bailey.Janne Kristiansen, director of the Norwegian Police Security Service, told the BBC no proof has yet been found to link the English Defense League to Breivik.I can tell you, at this moment in time, we don’t have evidence or we don’t have indications that he has been part of a broader movement or that he has been in connection with other cells or that there are other cells, she said.It was reported on Tuesday that police had solicited the help of Scotland Yard to establish a link between the accused killer and so-called far right groups in the UK and Europe. A specialist unit was set-up in The Hague to investigate known high-risk, rightwing extremists,according to The Guardian.What we’ve seen is an active extremist scene across European countries, including the UK, said Rob Wainwright, director of Europol, the European Union’s criminal intelligence agency. There are some signs the extreme right have been more active, especially on the internet. They are more sophisticated and using social media to attract younger people.Suspicions of a wider conspiracy spread through the media after a manifesto attributed to Breivik surfaced.

The manuscript describes Breivik’s mentor as an Englishman he identifies as Richard. Breivik mentions a 2002 London meeting where a group of fellow extremists gathered to reform the Knights Templar Europe, a military group whose purpose was to seize political and military control of western European countries and implement a cultural conservative political agenda, according to The Guardian.The manuscript attributed to Breivik describes the meeting attendants as business or political leaders, some with families, most Christian conservatives, but also some agnostics and even atheists.It claims participants came from across Europe and that his contact with them was arranged by a Serbian crusader commander.The alleged connection to the English Defense League was claimed after it was revealed that Breivik visited London last year and met with them.Stephen Lennon of the EDL told the media that his group is not connected to Breivik and the corporate media is cherry-picking what they want to fit their agenda and demonizing our organization.

Sky News report on supposed link between Breivik and the EDL.The corporate media has attempted to characterize Breivik’s acts as the inevitable result of “far right” politics.In the United States, the corporate media has worked overtime to connect the event to the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. That terror event was attributed to patsy and government agent Timothy McVeigh.Gary LaFree, director of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, or START, told CNN on Monday that threat of domestic terrorist attacks in the United States similar to last week’s fatal bombing and assault in Norway is significant and growing, despite a paucity of evidence.According to LaFree, extremist right-wingers – from Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh to a neo-Nazi accused of trying to bomb a Martin Luther King Day parade this year – have shown a willingness to target the public.CNN dredged up highly skewed statistics from the Southern Poverty Law Center to make its point that the so-called far right is a looming threat.Right wing anti-government groups grew by 60% in 2010 over the previous year,CNN claims, citing the stats.The SPLC considers Second Amendment advocates and activists opposed to open borders and illegal immigration as extremist right-wingers.The SPLC has played a far more intimate role in domestic terrorism than the people it attempts to demonize for exercising their right to protest and petition the government.In 2003, the FBI revealed that the group had an informant – and possibly a provocateur – inside the the white supremacist compound at Elohim City along with documented intelligence operative Andreas Carl Strassmeier.Elohim City was central to the Oklahoma City bomb plot, according to the government.If I told you what we were doing there, I would have to kill you,Morris Dees, co-founder and chief trial counsel for the SPLC, said in response to media questions about the FBI revelation.

Obama Strikes Fear Into Americans While Reassuring Big Banks Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Wednesday, July 27, 2011

While publicly fearmongering about a new great depression, the sun failing to rise, and the sky falling if the debt ceiling is not hiked, the Obama administration has been secretly telling big banks that there’s no chance of a default, echoing how the 2008 bailout was sold on hyped threats and intimidation of lawmakers.The rhetoric was heightened yesterday when White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer warned that the GOP’s inability to compromise could potentially put us towards a depression, adding, we are seven days away from an unprecedented financial event in this country’s history.Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, who has been busy hyping the inevitability of a default for weeks, again told news shows Sunday that the government would be unable to pay its bills if an agreement is not reached, a talking point that has been enthusiastically parroted by President Obama.However, that tone doesn’t quite match with what the Obama administration is simultaneously telling top executives at major U.S. banks, assuring them that such an event won’t happen.In a series of phone calls, administration officials have told bankers that the administration will not allow a default to happen even if the debt cap isn’t raised by the August 2 date Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner says the government will run out of money to pay all its bills, including obligations to bond holders, reports Fox Business.Once again, while striking fear into lawmakers and the American public by stoking fearmongering about the inevitability of a catastrophic collapse, the administration is fully aware that the system, maintained as it is by a fraudulent debt-based fiat money system, can always be kept artificially inflated for that bit longer.Indeed, the doomsday rhetoric is likely to be nothing more than a ploy to increase the administration’s bargaining power and its bid to seize the power of the purse from Congress. We saw an almost identical tactic used during the 2008 bailout debate, which was eventually rammed through on the back of bellicose threats about martial law and economic armageddon.

As Senator James Inhofe revealed, then Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson told members of Congress the crisis would be far worse than the great depression if Congress didn’t authorize the bill to buy out toxic debt, a proposal which he abandoned the day after he got the money,added Inhofe, referring to how immediately after it was approved, Paulson announced that the bailout money would not be used to buy up toxic debt but would instead be injected directly into banks like Goldman Sachs, of which he was a former CEO.Lawmakers were strong-armed into passing the bailout after being threatened that they would be responsible for a financial holocaust, a crisis of unimaginable proportions. Nearly three years later, we’re hearing the same rhetoric.
As former Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts has outlined, the whole debate over raising the debt ceiling is largely a punch and judy puppet show. As top global ratings agencies have confirmed, the U.S. is already technically in default because it has deliberately depreciated the dollar against other currencies as a means of artificially keeping its head above water.Labeling the whole process political theater, Roberts warns that the outcome of the debacle could be Congress losing the power of the purse, which is enshrined in the constitution.The consequences would be that the power of the purse would transfer from Congress to the President. It would be the end of the power of Congress. Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, have already given away to the President Congress’ Constitutional right to decide whether the country goes to war. Now Congress would lose its power over debt, taxes, and the budget itself,writes Roberts.Given the fact that lawmakers like Republican Senator Mitch McConnell have openly advocated the idea of handing such powers over to the President in the name of solving the debt problem, a proposal Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he will seriously consider, many in Washington would see this fallout as a useful way of expanding the power of the executive branch.

US visa ban on Russian officials poses questions for EU ANDREW RETTMAN 26.07.2011 @ 16:00 CET

EUOBSERVER / COMPETA - The US has quietly imposed a visa ban on Russian officials believed to have played a part in the murder of lawyer Sergey Magnitsky, posing questions about EU handling of the affair.A state department memo confirms that most or all of the 60 officials implicated in the Magnitsky conspiracy have been red-flagged in the Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS), a namecheck database used to give or decline visas.The non-public memo, dated 22 July, says: [US secretary of state Hilary] Clinton has applied existing laws and authorities to implement the visa limitations on multiple individuals associated with the wrongful death of Sergey Magnitsky.It adds:Individuals included on the list ... are already flagged in the visa adjudication (known as CLASS) system used by visa officers.The list includes judges, interior ministry officials and secret service personnel said to have embezzled hundreds of millions of euros of Russian tax money and then murdered Magnitsky when he exposed the scam.Two top names are Olga Stepanova, the 48-year-old head of the Moscow tax authority, and Viktor Voronin, the 53-year-old chief of the Russian secret service's (FSB's) economic espionage unit.The US normally imposes sanctions with some fanfare, as with Libya and Syria. But the Magnitsky move was kept quiet in order not to create a diplomatic row.The memo was sent to senators working on a bill which could give Congress new powers to request travel bans and asset freezes on foreign human rights abusers. The memo noted that the so-called Magnitsky bill could provoke a retaliation.

It says: Senior Russian government officials have warned us that they will respond asymmetrically if this legislation passes. Their argument is that we cannot expect them to be our partner in supporting sanctions against countries like Iran, North Korea, and Libya, and sanction them at the same time. Russian officials have said that other areas of bilateral co-operation, including on transit to Afghanistan, could be jeopardised if this legislation passes.Heidi Hautala, Finland's minister for international development and until recently the European Parliament's top deputy on human rights, told this website that EU capitals should follow Washington's lead.It's a very smart solution because it targets the real perpetrators and not the whole country, she said.The time has come for new [EU] targeted sanctions on the American model - it could also be a low-key solution, put in place by one of the Schengen countries.Under the rules of the EU's passport-free Schengen zone - which covers 22 EU countries plus Iceland, Norway and Switzerland - if any one Schengen state red-flags a name all 25 must refuse that person a visa.

He said, she said

EU governments regularly complain to Russia about lack of results in the Magnitsky investigation. But they are wary of taking action.Dutch foreign minister Uri Rosenthal earlier this month refused to ban the group-of-60 despite a unanimous vote by all 150 MPs in the lower house urging him to do so.Catherine Ashton's European External Action Service (EEAS) ignored a similar request by the European Parliament last December.EEAS spokeswoman Maja Kocjancic on Tuesday (26 July) said there is currently no discussion of restrictive measures at EU level, adding: What is needed first and foremost at this point is a proper conclusion of the ongoing investigations [inside Russia].EU officials previously told this website it would be unrealistic to consistently ban foreign nationals involved in high-level corruption or murders.For his part, Bill Browder, Magnitsky's former employer, a US-born venture capitalist who lives in the UK, welcomed the US visa ban.It is a major precedent to create sanctions against human rights abusers from countries with [which you have] normal diplomatic relations. If this had been in place before, you wouldn't have seen the Western-approved excesses that led to revolutions in places like Egypt and Tunisia,he said.Magnitsky, a 37-year-old father-of-two, died in jail in 2009 when his abdominal membrane burst because he was denied medication for pancreatitis.This story was updated at 11.45pm Brussels time on 26 July to add the EEAS statement

EU politicians warn against xenophobia after Norway attacks VALENTINA POP 26.07.2011 @ 09:28 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero on Monday (25 July) called for a common EU response to fight xenophobia, echoing similar remarks by German chancellor Merkel and home affairs commissioner Malmstrom in the wake of the Norway killings.This is something extremely serious that requires a response, a European response, a shared response to defend freedom, to defend democracy, calling on people to rise up and fight radicalism, to respond against xenophobia,Zapatero said in a press conference in London after meeting his British counterpart.The Spanish leader, whose country went through the trauma of terrorist bombings in 2004, said that the twin attacks carried out by the self-confessed killer Anders Behring Breivik is one of the most worrying and serious events that we have ever seen take place on European soil.Where we have seen this upsurge or rebirth of xenophobic ideas, when we have seen that happening in our old democratic Europe, then we have to react quickly. We can't let time go by and let that carry on,Zapatero added.The 32-year old Breivik confessed to have carried out the bombing in central Oslo claiming the lives of at least eight people and the shooting spree on a nearby island where he machine-gunned 68 persons, mostly teenagers. In a court hearing behind close doors, he argued this was necessary in order to save Norway and Europe from Marxist and Muslim colonisation, the judge on his case said Monday.

Breivik has admitted to the actions, but denies criminal responsibility for them, with his lawyer saying that he has a completely different perception of reality than other people. Two psychiatrists have been assigned to assess his mental health.The judge decided to put him in solitary confinement for four weeks, with no access to newspapers or letters, in order to prevent him from having the media platform he wanted to have to propagate his xenophobic ideas.If convicted of terrorism, he faces the maximum sentence in Norway - 21 years in prison which can be prolonged indefinitely every five years if he poses a serious threat to society.The UK authorities are looking into the alleged links with British right-wing groups, as outlined in his 1500-page manifesto posted online a few days before the attacks.But according to Norwegian police sources quoted by Reuters, the attacks appear to have been carried out without accomplices.German chancellor Angela Merkel, herself identified as a target in Breivik's killing manual, on Sunday also urged an increase in efforts to fight xenophobia. This hatred [of foreigners] is our common enemy, she said.And home affairs commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom, herself from Norway's neighbouring Sweden, also a country hit by a terrorist attack last year, said that Breivik's manifesto is a product of a very disturbed man, but unfortunately we recognise some of these sentiments in Europe today.I have many times expressed my concern over xenophobic parties who build their unfortunately quite successful rhetoric on negative opinions on Islam and other so called threats against society. This creates a very negative environment, and sadly there are too few leaders today who stand up for diversity and for the importance of having open, democratic, and tolerant societies where everybody is welcome,she said in a post on her personal blog.

The EU commission is trying to push forward an initiative on fighting radicalisation by gathering researchers, social workers, religious leaders, youth leaders and policemen to exchange ideas and experiences.The project will receive €4 million during the coming years and has now been extended to Norway as well.Malmstrom also stressed the need for governments to move ahead with a draft law making it more difficult for people to buy substances which can be used to make bombs as the one that detonated in central Oslo.Breivik, who had opened up an organic farm in order to have a legal pretext for buying large quantities of fertiliser for his bomb, came to the attention of Norwegian secret services when he also purchased other substances from an online shop in Poland. But the quantities were too small to put him under investigation, Norwegian authorities said.Poland's internal security agency confirmed that a Polish company supplied Breivik with chemicals for the bomb, but said that nobody was detained, contrary to earlier press reports.The agency is however analysing his manifesto, especially the parts suggesting some materials necessary for bomb construction could be bought in Poland.

Greek credit downgraded amid concerns about EU debt plan HONOR MAHONY 26.07.2011 @ 09:27 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Just days after leaders made what they termed an historic agreement in a bid to draw a line under the eurozone debt crisis, the markets indicated there is still concern about the fundamentals of the deal.Spain and Italy's funding costs rose on Monday (25 July) to levels higher than when the first details of the deal became apparent during last week's emergency summit of EU leaders in Brussels.According to the Wall Street Journal, Spain's debt on Monday afternoon was being traded at a yield of 6 percent, or 3.24 percentage points above the rate on German bonds, seen as a safe investment. Italy's debt was being traded at a yield of 5.5 percent.During Thursday's summit, the borrowing costs for Spain were 5.7 percent and 5.2 percent for Italy, down from the highs at the beginning of last week of 6.3 percent and 5.8 percent respectively.EU leaders hammered out an agreement on a second €109bn bailout for Greece as well as loosened the rules for the use of the eurozone rescue fund, giving it a more preemptive role.However, once the smoke cleared around the general relief that leaders had managed to forge a deal, the details raised further questions.Chief among the concerns is that although the rescue fund was made more flexible, its funds were not increased. The €440bn in the pot are not sufficient for bailing out Italy and Spain, the single currency area's third and fourth largest economies.Meanwhile, there are still big question marks over aspects of the Greek agreement. Its success will depend on whether Athens is able to raise the €28bn over three years from a privatisation drive - sceptics say it won't.

There is also the voluntary nature of private sector involvement to the tune of €54bn. Last week's deal offered a menu of options for how the private sector is to be involved, but the details have to be hammered out.The over-riding question after the deal was agreed remains whether Greek debt is sustainable, with critics saying it is not.Moody's rating agency on Monday said the Greek bailout would worsen the EU debt crisis and cut Greece's credit rating further.For some non-Aaa sovereigns with high debt burdens or large budget deficits... the negatives will far outweigh the positives and weigh on ratings in the future said the agency of the Greek deal in what is thought to be a reference to Spain and Italy.It said the fact that private investors had taken a haircut on their investments under the Greek deal meant they would be open to such write downs under potential future bailouts for other countries.But no matter the efficacy of Thursday's deal, German chancellor Angela Merkel, who set most of the terms of the agreement, is likely to have a domestic struggle on her hands when the details are discussed after summer recess in September.Many Germans - their country is the continent's paymaster - remain against the idea of a transfer union, with last week's agreement seen as taking a significant step towards such a set-up.The autumn will be the real test (of the government). I am no longer sure they will survive until 2013,Frank-Walter Steinmeier, leader of the opposition Social Democrats, told the Tageszeitung.An opinion piece in Die Welt newspaper, published Monday, said Merkel may have been praised on the European stage but she has saddled future generations in Germany ... with immense risks.It calls on the reader to be outraged saying there is only slim hope that German MPs, who will vote on the measures, will also be angry.

Women Who Sang on Temple Mount Barred by Police-The rules on the Temple Mount are unique. Jews may not pray; Muslims play soccer. Police bar a group of women who allegedly broke the rules.by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu 27/07/11, 12:48 PM

The rules on the Temple Mount are unique for Jews: No singing, no prayer books and certainly not a Torah scroll, but Muslim can play soccer outside their holy mosques while Arab workers remove dirt containing archeological proof of the destroyed Jewish Temples.Police have barred a group of women who allegedly broke the rules and sang.The police restriction applies to the Women’s Forum, for the Temple Mount,who four times in the past several months have been granted permission to ascend the holy site, where Israel has surrendered religious authority to the Muslin Waqf.Police refused a request from them to visit the Temple Mount next Wednesday, during the nine days of mourning leading up to the Ninth of Av, the Hebrew date when the First and Second Temples were destroyed.Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld told Arutz Sheva that at least one of the women sang on the Tempe Mount during the last visit and continued to do as after being warned. Temple Mount activist Yehuda Glick replied that she stopped immediately ad was not evicted.

The police are making excuses,he charged. Rosenfeld said the request to visit the site still is being re-studied.The spokesman also noted that a man who took out a small Torah scroll n the Temple Mount also was expelled and invesigated. Glick said that the man was not part of groups who regularly visit.Glick also has been barred by the police, who said that no permission is given to anyone who violates government and High Court decisions against blatant Jewish activity that could cause a provocation among Muslims.

Norway Still Blames Occupation for Terror in Israel-Norway’s mass murderer acted out of anger at government policy, but Norway says reason for terror against Jews is Israel’s occupation.by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu 27/07/11, 2:23 PM

The terrorist attack in Norway has not changed the country’s views of terror in Israel, where the Norwegian ambassador to Israel blames the occupation for terror against Jews.Ambassador Svein Serje, in an interview with the Hebrew-language Maariv newspaper, said he has sympathy for Israel’s terror victims but still maintains, We Norwegians consider the occupation to be the cause of the terror against Israel. Those who believe this will not change their mind because of the attack in Oslo.He asserted that the massacre by Anders Breivik, a right-wing extremist whose lawyer says was on drugs and is probably insane, has an ideology that says that Norway, particularly the Labor Party, is forgoing Norwegian culture. Breivik was radically anti-Islam and anti-immigration.He killed 76 people, including 68 at a Labor party youth camp, where the youth were taught to boycott Israel.Norway has a long-standing policy against Israel’s maintaining a presence in re-United Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.Sevje’s solution for terror in Israel included engaging the Hamas terrorist organization. Can Israel and the Palestinians solve the problems without Hamas? I don't think so,he told Maariv.Commentary Magazine’s Alana Goodman noted, Suggesting Israel is responsible for the terror attacks launched against it is senseless enough on its own.But foray’s ambassador to Israel reportedly to make this argument – at a time when the shock of the devastating Oslo attack is still lingering – is also profoundly callous. Maybe it shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering Norway’s long-standing anti-Israel sentiment, but the ambassador’s timing and tone-deafness is striking.

Ambassador Prosor: Abbas’ UN Ploy a False Idol-Ron Prosor, Israel’s new ambassador to the United Nations, asks the Palestinian Authority observer, Do you represent Abbas or Hamas? by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu 27/07/11, 10:05 AM

Ron Prosor, Israel’s new ambassador to the United Nations, asks the Palestinian Authority observer in a debate, Do you represent PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas or Hamas? Prosor also declared that the appeal to the United Nations to recognize the PA as a new country is a false idol.Let me turn to my Palestinian colleague [PA observer Riyad Mansour] and ask a simple question, Prosor said.On behalf of whom will you present a resolution in September? Mr. Abbas or Hamas? Will it be on behalf of both the Palestinian Authority and the Hamas terrorist organization, which advances a charter calling for the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews? Will it be on behalf of Akram Haniyeh – the PA’s Chief Spokesman— or Ismail Haniyeh – the Hamas Prime Minister in Gaza who said recently, When I say the land of Palestine, I am not referring [only] to the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and Jerusalem…I refer to Palestine from the [Mediterranean] Sea to the [Jordan] River, and from Rosh HaNikra to Rafiah.Prosor’s comments wee part of a debate, the last discussion in the United Nations before the scheduled Arab League attempt in September to pass a resolution for establishing the Palestinian Authority as an independent country based on its unilateral political and territorial definitions.Riyad Mansour, the PA observer in the United Nations, did not rebut Prosor and instead repeated arguments that Israel has been an obstacle to peace with the Palestinian Authority.Like a false idol, the Palestinian initiatives at the United Nations may be superficially attractive to some. Yet, they distract from the true path to peace,Prosor said.

He continued, Some of those who speak most loudly and clearly about the interests of Palestinians suddenly seem to lose their voice, hesitate, and mumble when it comes to discussing Israel’s vital interests – its recognition as a Jewish state and it right to live within safe and secure borders.Many have recognized that Palestinian attempts to create a state by bypassing negotiations are akin to picking out a chimney pot for one’s house before laying its foundation. They see the potential consequences of mistrust and unmet expectations that could lead to violence.Prosor also countered Palestinian Authority claims that it is ready to be independent. “Even the most basic condition for statehood does not exist, he said,The Palestinian Authority does not maintain effective control of all its territory nor does it hold a monopoly on the use of force. The Hamas terrorist organization still maintains de facto control in Gaza.In Mansour’s remarks, he did say whether the Palestinians will seek U.N. membership as a sovereign state – which requires Security Council approval – or will push for a non-binding resolution recognizing a Palestinian state.

Russia's Putin considering Kremlin return: sources
Reuters By Guy Faulconbridge | JULY 27,11


MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is close to a decision to bid for the presidency in an election next year because he has doubts about his protege, President Dmitry Medvedev, senior political sources say.Putin ruled as president from 2000 to 2008 before handing over to Medvedev to comply with a constitutional ban on a third consecutive term. He will be free to run in the March presidential election.Putin, 58, and Medvedev, 45, have repeatedly refused to say which of them will run but as Russia's paramount leader, officials and diplomats say the decision is Putin's.I think Putin is going to run, that he has already decided to, said a highly placed source who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the delicacy of the political situation.The source said Putin had been troubled by the perception that his protege, whom he has known for more than two decades, did not have sufficient support among the political and business elite or the electorate to ensure stability if he pushed ahead with plans for political reform.Putin has much more support from the people than Medvedev. Medvedev has overestimated his weight inside the system, he said.Another highly placed source who declined to be identified said: Putin wants to return, really wants to return.The source said an attempt by Medvedev to assert his authority in recent months had unsettled Putin, but the two leaders communicated well on a regular basis.

A third source also said Putin was thinking of running and that if he became president he could appoint a reformist prime minister, an apparent attempt to dispel fears that his return would usher in a period of stagnation two decades after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.Investors see few differences between the two leaders' policies but many say privately that Medvedev would be more likely to carry out reforms than Putin.Medvedev's spokeswoman, Natalya Timakova, dismissed talk of any discord between them.I do not quite understand where these rumors come from because the president and the prime minister communicate not only on formal issues, but informally too, Timakova said.A senior Kremlin source said it was up to the people, not the elite, who ruled Russia.The discussion should be not about support within the elite but about who has more support from the people, the Kremlin source said. Support from the elite is not always decisive for the country to move forward.
Asked whether Putin was considering a return to the Kremlin, the prime minister's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said: Vladimir Vladimirovich is working, working hard, rather than thinking about whether to run in the election.

BATMAN AND ROBIN?

Most officials and foreign diplomats believe that, as the ultimate arbiter between the powerful clans that make up the Russian elite, Putin will have the final say on who will run in 2012.As Russia's most popular politician and leader of the ruling party, Putin would be almost certain to win a newly extended six-year term if he decided to return to the presidency.He could also then run again for another term from 2018 to 2024, a quarter of a century since he rose to power in late 1999. He would turn 72 on October 7, 2024.The picture of Russia's alpha-dog ruler eyeing another Kremlin term corresponds to the assessment of U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Beyrle who cast Medvedev as playing Robin to Putin's Batman, according to leaked U.S. diplomatic cables.Russia's bicephalous ruling format is not likely to be permanent based on Russian history and current tandem dynamics,Beyrle wrote in February 2010 according to a copy of the cable on http:/wikileaks.org/cable/2010/02/10MOSCOW272.html Because of Medvedev's weakness in relation to Putin, the Kremlin chief's attempt to present himself as anything other than Putin's loyal protege has puzzled investors and irked some of the officials who make up part of Putin's court.

In a host of choreographed public events, Medvedev has pitched himself as the right man for Russia, calling for opening up the tightly controlled political system crafted by Putin and even reportedly lobbying Russia's powerful tycoons for support.
A Kremlin insider said it appeared that both Medvedev and Putin wanted to be president, but that the tandem had not shown itself to be an effective way to rule Russia.Neither Medvedev nor Putin have shown that this construction is stable, said the source, who added that talk of any discord was overblown and that Putin had shown his confidence in Medvedev by steering him into the Kremlin in 2008.Asked about Medvedev, the source said: He is not stupid but he is not a brilliant manager and I am not completely convinced he has enough steel... Putin does not plan to leave power anytime soon.(Editing by Angus MacSwan)

Nasrallah Warns Israel: Don’t Touch Our Waters-Hizbullah leader Hasan Nasrallah warns Israel: If you touch Lebanon's oil facilities, we will fight back.by Elad Benari 27/07/11, 6:17 AM

Hizbullah leader Hasan Nasrallah warned Israel on Tuesday against any attempt to encroach on Lebanon’s territorial waters, The Beirut Daily Star reported.In a video speech he gave as part of a rally marking the fifth anniversary of the 2006 Second Lebanon War, Nasrallah stressed that his group was better equipped and ready to confront any act of aggression by Israel than at any time before.Whoever harms our future oil facilities has their own [facilities] and consequently will face the same damage,Nasrallah warned, adding, They know that Lebanon is capable of such damage.
He added,As long as Lebanon considers [the disputed area] the 850 square kilometer zone as part of its territorial waters, then the resistance considers it Lebanese and therefore it is no longer disputed but an area that is encroached upon.Lebanon has a diplomatic opportunity to gain it back through demarcating its maritime borders and we warn Israel not to attempt to steal this area or Lebanon’s resources from its territorial waters ... It is necessary to warn Israel,Nasrallah said.Israel and Lebanon have been at odds over a disputed maritime border between the two countries. The Israeli Cabinet recently approved a marine economic zone proposal after Lebanon presented maps to the United Nations, marking maritime borders that would include part of the giant Leviathan and Tamar fields. The United Nations previously has refused to take responsibility for marking the maritime borders.

Israeli firms discovered the two gas fields, which also are believed to hold large commercially viable oil deposits, two years ago. Lebanon later claimed the discoveries are in its territory, and it recently has announced that a Norwegian company will start a seismic research offshore.Lebanese Minister of Energy and Water Joubran Bassil said after Israel defined the maritime border that it is playing with fire by violating Lebanon’s maritime border and oil rights.He added, Obviously we will prevent any violation. However, in case of violations, Israel will not be the only damaged part, but also large companies that cooperate with it. We, in Lebanon, respect the rights of others, and we don’t want to violate the rights of others, but at the same time, we do not want someone to attack us. Lebanon will not give up its rights or its borders.Nasrallah for his part urged Lebanese politicians in his speech to act responsibly and seriously in order to take full advantage of the country’s offshore oil and gas wealth. He then warned Israel that Hizbullah is ready to deal with any aggression on its part.I tell [our enemies and friends] that the resistance in Lebanon in terms of its intelligence, unity, courage, manpower and material resources is stronger and better than any other time since its establishment,Nasrallah said. As I have always promised you victory [in the past], I promise you again that victory will be achieved.

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.

Slow Philippine storm leaves 25 dead, 31 missing
By OLIVER TEVES, Associated Press – JULY 27,11


MANILA, Philippines – Heavy rains and floods battered the northeastern Philippines for a third day Wednesday, swamping homes of about a half million people and raising the death toll to at least 25 with 31 others missing.Waist-deep floodwaters swamped the houses of nearly half of the population of eastern Albay province after Tropical Storm Nock-ten set off pounding rains since Monday and sent residents to seek shelter in churches and village halls, said Gov. Joey Salceda.Regional civil defense chief Rafaelito Alejandro said floodwaters in Albay started to subside by noon Wednesday after the storm made landfall in Aurora, about 230 miles (370 kilometers) to the north. It packed maximum winds of 59 miles (95 kilometers) per hour and gusts of up to 75 mph (120 kph).Alejandro said at least 20 people died in the Bicol region, which includes Albay. Eight of those were buried in landslides in Albay's Polangui township and in nearby Camarines Norte province.Other fatalities included a mother who was bitten by a poisonous snake that was swept into her home by a flashflood near the Albay provincial capital of Legazpi.National civil defense administrator Benito Ramos said two others drowned in Cavite province just south of Manila and one each in the provinces of Quezon, Marinduque and Iloilo.Most of the missing are poor fishermen who ventured out to sea despite the stormy weather.

A fishing boat with 32 men on board capsized in rough waters off central Masbate province early Wednesday. Ten fishermen were rescued but the coast guard has not found the others, bringing the number of missing in the storm to 31, Ramos said.The storm weakened slightly after hitting land, said forecaster Sonny Pajarilla. It is expected to blow out of the country to the South China Sea by Thursday after cutting through the heart of Luzon Island.Authorities cut off electricity to most of the region to prevent electrocutions, Ramos said.One of the victims during the power outage was Salceda's mother, who fell on her head after slipping in the dark bathroom, Alejandro said, adding that she wasn't counted as a storm fatality.Power was restored in Legazpi and most of the other provincial urban centers later Wednesday. Workers removed toppled trees, rocks and other debris blocking roads and firefighters hosed away mud from the streets.Many domestic flights were canceled and about 1,600 ferry passengers stranded.

Rains, mudslides kill 32, cause havoc in SKorea
By SAM KIM and HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press – JULY 27,11


SEOUL, South Korea – Walls of mud barreling down a hill buried 10 college students sleeping in a resort cabin and flash floods submerged the streets and subway stations in Seoul, killing at least 32 people Wednesday in South Korea's heaviest rains this year.The students were engulfed by a landslide in Chuncheon, about 68 miles (110 kilometers) northeast of Seoul, said fire marshal Byun In-soo. A married couple and a convenience store owner also died.Witnesses interviewed on television said the landslide sounded like a massive explosion or a freight train. They described people screaming as buildings were carried away by rivers of mud.About 670 firefighters, soldiers, police and others rushed to rescue those trapped and extract the dead from the mud and wreckage in Chuncheon, where 24 others were injured and several buildings destroyed.In southern Seoul, 16 people died when mud crashed through homes at the foot of a mountain, the National Emergency Management Agency said. Three others also died after a stream just south of the capital flooded, and 10 people were reported missing throughout the country, the agency said in a statement.Fast-moving mudwaters filled the streets in Seoul on Wednesday, sending residents scrambling to the roofs of their partially submerged cars.Water filled some subway stations and spewed from sewers. TV images showed people in one flooded subway station using shovels, brooms and a wooden board in an effort to keep more rain from coming in.

Footage showed officials rescuing hikers stranded on mountainsides. People plodded down streets covered with knee-deep water, many barefoot, their pants rolled up. In Seoul's center, cars were restricted from entering the lower part of a submerged two-level bridge.The heavy rain since Tuesday left about 620 people homeless and flooded 720 houses and about 100 vehicles throughout South Korea, the emergency management agency said.About 17 inches (440 millimeters) of rain fell on Seoul and more than 13 inches (340 millimeters) on Chuncheon in the last two days, about 15 times more than the average two-day rainfall at this time of year, according to the state-run Korea Meteorological Administration.Weather officials said another 10 inches (254 millimeters) could fall in northern South Korea, including Seoul, through Friday.The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency issued a traffic emergency, mobilizing more officers to deal with the inclement weather.Seoul, a bustling capital of 10 million, shut down portions of two major highways stretching along each side of the main Han River because of high water levels, said disaster official Kim Ji-hwan.A dam located just east of Seoul was discharging 16,400 tons of water per second, said Cha Jun-ho from the Han River Flood Control Office. The dam already discharged about 1,000 tons per second days before the recent downpours.People in Seoul, where smartphones are ubiquitous, posted dozens of photos on Twitter and Facebook showing inundated streets and mud-covered cars. Many complained online that Seoul had neglected to prepare for the downpours.Associated Press writer So Yeon Kwon contributed to this report.

TSA introduces new technology to protect privacy
By EILEEN SULLIVAN, Associated Press – Wed Jul 27, 7:37 pm ET


WASHINGTON – The Transportation Security Administration says it's installing new technology in some U.S. airports so when a traveler goes through checkpoint security, a generic outline of a person's body will be shown instead of the image of a naked body.The agency says the change is intended to protect travelers' privacy rights while securing commercial air travel. It will be used in 40 airports, including in Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Miami and Newark.The new software is designed to recognize items on the passenger that could pose a security threat.The agency plans to eventually use this technology for more machines at more airports.The whole body imaging machines have sparked outrage among passengers and privacy advocates because they reveal images of naked bodies.On the Web:
