EZEKIEL 38:1-12
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
Seventeen dead as Syrians stage mass protests
Last Updated: Saturday, December 31, 2011, 09:06
Seventeen dead as Syrians stage mass protests Beirut: Syrian security forces, undaunted by the presence of Arab League observers, have killed at least 12 protesters as hundreds of thousands demonstrated against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, opposition activists said.Five members of the security forces were also killed in a shooting in the city of Homs, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Friday.Assad, 46, has signed up to an Arab League plan for a verifiable withdrawal of his troops and heavy weaponry from towns and cities, where they have been trying to crush protests that have raged since March.But the presence of Arab League monitors in hotspots across Syria since Monday has, if anything, energised the protesters, while provoking scepticism in Western countries.
Demonstrators determined to show the scale of their movement to the monitors threw rocks at security forces in the Damascus suburb of Douma, where troops tear-gassed the chanting crowds.Five people were shot dead in the city of Hama and five in the city of Deraa as crowds braved army and police, the Observatory reported, adding that at least two dozen people had been injured in Douma.We are determined to show them (the monitors) we exist. Whether or not there's bloodshed is not important, an activist named Abu Khaled said by phone from the northern city of Idlib.Most foreign media are banned from Syria and witness reports and videos are hard to verify. An opposition supporter named Manhal said thousands had tried to reach the main square of Idlib to start a sit-in but failed because the security forces are firing a lot of tear gas and a few rounds of live fire.People hoped the presence of monitors will prevent fierce attacks. I believe we have partial protection, I don't think they would use live fire on us in front of the monitors.The Observatory said security forces had shot dead two people and wounded 37 in Idlib province.
Sea of protesters
Amateur video from Idlib showed monitors in white baseball caps and yellow safety vests wading through a sea of protesters.Some rushed at the observers, trying to shout over the thousands chanting The people want to liberate the country!More than 5,000 people have been killed across Syria since March - most shot during peaceful anti-government protests but many others killed in rebel attacks and local defense actions.Protesters flooded the streets of many towns, shouting Peaceful, Peaceful and The people want you executed, Bashar! Some held up banners with the names of those shot dead in protests. We will not forget your spilled blood,they read.In parts of Hama, videos showed protesters fleeing the main streets as heavy gunfire erupted in the background. In one such segment, a few men rushed back, ducking in the crackle of gunfire, to carry away a man who had fallen limp in the street.In the Damascus suburb of Douma, protesters bore away a man whose leg had been shredded by what they said were nail bombs.Activists in Idlib said the Army had concealed its tanks in buildings on the outskirts or in dugouts.The Arab League mission has met with strong scepticism from the outset over its makeup, its lack of numbers - due to rise from 60 to 150 - and its reliance on government transport.
A first assessment by its Sudanese head that the situation was reassuring prompted disbelief in the West Wednesday, but Friday Syria's ally Russia accepted the judgement.Judging by the public statements made by the chief of the mission (Sudanese general Mohammed) al-Dabi, who in the first of his visits went to the city of Homs, the situation seems to be reassuring,Russia's Foreign Ministry said on its website.However Friday Dabi, whom some link to war crimes in Darfur in the 1990s, said the reports of his comments were unfounded and not true, a mission statement said.
Impartiality
The United Nations said it was critical that the team's independence and impartiality be fully preserved.Spokesman Martin Nesirky urged the Arab League to take all steps possible to ensure that its observer mission will be able to fulfil its mandate in accordance with international human rights law standards.He said the United Nations was willing to give the League observers training on human rights monitoring.The monitoring teams have encountered a range of problems, from hostility when they turn up under army escort to random gunfire, shouting mobs and breakdowns in communications.An Arab League member from a Gulf State played down expectations for the mission, which has no peacekeeping mandate.Even if its report turned out to be negative, it would not act as a bridge to foreign intervention but simply indicate that the Syrian government has not implemented the Arab initiative, the delegate said.The commander of the anti-government Free Syrian Army said he had ordered his fighters to stop offensive operations while the FSA tried to arrange a meeting with the monitors.All operations against the regime are to be stopped except in a situation of self defense,Colonel Riad al-Asaad said.We have tried to communicate with them and we requested a meeting with the team. So far there hasn't been any success.Just how widely the Turkey-based commander's order will be heeded by rebel forces inside Syria is open to question. A video shot by rebels this week showed the ambush of a convoy of army buses in which, activists said, four soldiers were killed.The FSA, formed by thousands of defectors from Assad's army and financed by expatriate Syrians, has taken the offensive in the past three months, taking the fight to the state rather than simply trying to defend opposition strongholds.Its decisions are potentially crucial to any peace plan.Syria says it is fighting Islamist militants steered from abroad who have killed more than 2,000 of its troops. Activists do not dispute a significant toll among the security forces.Bureau Report

40,000 Visit Kotel During Hanukkah-More than 40,000 people visited the Western Wall during Hanukkah. Thousands attended daily candle lighting.By Elad Benari First Publish: 12/30/2011, 2:14 AM
About 40,000 people visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem during Hanukkah, the Western Wall Heritage Foundation said on Thursday.According to the foundation, thousands attended the daily lighting of Hanukkah candles at the Kotel. Among the visitors were Israel’s Chief Rabbis, State Comptroller Micha Lidenstrauss, Education Minister Gideon Saar, Cabinet Secretary Zvi Hauser, Police Chief Yohanan Danino, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, and many others.The Western Wall Heritage Foundation noted that there has been a great increase in the number of people who visit the Western Wall and take tours of the Western Wall Tunnels.The Western Wall rabbi, Rav Shmuel Rabinovich, welcomed the statistics and said that the increase in the number of visitors to the Western Wall is testament to the deep connection of the Jewish people to the Kotel’s sacred stones and to its legacy.

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.

Obama is turning US victories into defeat while pushing the Islamic Caliphate By LAURIE ROTH(PRES CANDIDATE), on December 29th, 2011
Obama has yanked our soldiers back out of Iran and Afghanistan, manipulating whatever kiss up factor he can gain from the progressive left. Obama’s concerned leftists have been mad at him this whole time because he hasn’t stopped the war and brought our troops home. So, at the right, politically expedient, Saul Alinsky moment, Obama yanked them home and in doing so has turned our sure victories into certain defeats, while ignoring General after General and simple common sense. Shame on him.Now, we hear, thanks to www.france24.com, now that our troops are gone out of Iraq that top figures are warning of a push for dictatorship and civil war. Just like with Obama’s betrayal of Egypt, while Muslim Brotherhood swooped in and long time alley, Hosni Mubarak was thrown out, now radicals circle their wagons around Iraq. After all, America is gone….just as Obama would have it.Another disaster looming, among coming disasters in Afghanistan is the pathetic lack of leadership regarding their first big oil contract. CNN money states that China got the deal, offering the best offer, giving Afghanistan 85% of the profit and giving China 15%. Also in the bidding were Britain, Australia and the US. How in God’s green earth did the US not win this bid and do an oil deal with Afghanistan when we have spent hundreds of billions to free them and rebuild their country??? What incredible lack of leadership in the Obama regime would dare to allow such a thing and not make sure the US offered the best deal and won? It is as if, sabotage reigns to destroy any political, economic and military advantage with us and Afghanistan after hundreds of billions have been spent to fight Islamic terror there, free the people and help them rebuild.Obama continues to do whatever he can to promote radical Islamic leadership change throughout the Middle East. Obama is pressing Congress to release the remaining 147 million from the previous budget cycle, in which US aid to the Palestinians was to be $545.7 million. According to the AP lawmakers are pushing for Palestinian bid for UN membership and have now freed up 20% of 187 million for that goal.
Lets see what we have as 2012 approaches
Obama has long ago given Islamic radical and terrorist group HAMAS over 900 million dollars.Never mind that the 40 million dollars is aiding a dangerous scheme by the left and Palestinians to force their way in as a voting member of the UN and be deemed a country. Damn that this boldly increases the danger to Israel and that the ability for Palestine to attack Israel and get away with it from an international viewpoint. Bottom line….Damn Israel.We have already been enlightened by Obama during Arab Spring when Obama and Hillary immediately betrayed long time alley Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and rallied behind Islamic terrorist group Muslim Brotherhood. It is as if Obama wanted radical Islamics to control Egypt and bring more danger to Israel, the West and Middle East. All over the Middle East Obama has backed Muslim Brotherhood and other radical Islamic groups who continue to threaten, attack and murder Jews, Christians and anyone of difference. Why would a REAL President of the US want to give Islamic radicals, like Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, Palestinian leadership or any other name they hide behind, any support or money until they first show bold and verified signs to the US, UN and world that they will stop their threats and attacks on Israel, people of difference and the world? This will never happen with Obama at the helm because I believe he is aiding international Muslim and global elite take over.
A real President who loves America and freedom would harshly rebuke Islam and Sharia law until they stop the sound bites and really show American and the UN reforms. Perhaps the Saudis could start by changing their high school textbooks found for 10th graders that show in graphic detail how to cut off the hands and feet of a thief. While they are at it perhaps Islam. Through out their 57 countries can stop the part of Sharia law that allows beatings of wives, executions of gays, those who change faiths, cutting off limbs of thieves, stoning of rape victims without 4 witnesses and other violent brutality.There is no middle ground. Islam must work our way or take the highway to hell and get out of our face! Join me and speak your mind at: www.rothrevolution.ning.com and listen in on my show at: www.therothshow.com,

2012: The Year of the Scare Author- Judi McLeod Thursday, December 29, 2011 CANADA FREE PRESS
2012 is about to come hurtling into our lives. If the coming New Year could be defined, before even being played out, it would be called The Year of the Scare.
With a myriad of sources vying to capture the attention of everyday people, it will get very difficult sorting out what is true and what is false.Stories about government watch lists will join warnings about coming communication blackouts, the death of the worldwide web, the return of the plague, contagious influenza with the power to kill off world populations, bloody revolutions on the street imposed by shady powers behind the well-funded, media darling Occupy Wall Street (OWS) Movement.
By the time a modern day Samuel Pepys happens along to make sense of it all, events will have frightened some people from coming out of their homes.People are being deliberately kept on the edge. People kept on the edge are not as productive as they would be on an even playing field.Seeping already into the ongoing exchange of ideas is a strong sense of embitterment that can be seen on website comment sections, and one steadily making enemies of longtime friends.Political arguments are gathering heat, and screaming matches are replacing what were once only political disagreements.Over the months leading up to Election Year, a not-so-subtle shift has taken place.Thanks to the embittered Clintons, carping Hollywood stars, and all those ready to blame their personal life failures on anyone else, the Enemy of the State was George Bush, who political replacement Barack Obama has done a stellar job keeping blame on for the steady decline of the United States of America.
But blaming Bush is only an astroturfed political convenience. The biggest and most dangerous shift that has come into the public arena is the one that lets off the hook the first and only president who has publicly promised the fundamental Transformation of America.
How does this shift survive in the light of day? How did it happen that more heated opinion and embitterment follow presidential candidates than the man under whose watch the economy failed, the free market was effectively suppressed and where jobs disappeared into a sink hole and still disappear daily? As challenging 2012 unfolds to November 6, people will be hard pressed to escape Obama and the Czars many coming Friday fright nights.Much of what is coming for patriots will be based on fear mongering. Most of what the power-hungry government sends out is based on the strategy of wanting you to think what they are going to do.The Government wants you to think it, worry it and sweat it.They are shutting down the Internet? Nobody needs the Internet more than the government in Election Year.They are now stocking FEMA camps in which to herd people? The only sensible answer for that is: We’re not going anywhere.OWS activists are sending out their version of Survival for Dummies because they are predicting bloodshed on the streets? The Rule of Law prevents it.
A virulent new flu strain is going to wipe out the entire population? The United Nations has come up with several influenza scares since Obama took office.With the mainstream media now dancing along the same party trail as some of the major conspiracy theorists, how to distinguish between truth and propaganda? Apply the beloved Ronald Reagan’s lifelong rule of thumb: Trust, but verify.The world unfolds now as it has through many other dark and trying eras.Survival does not come from Czars or OWS. Survival is for those who believe in themselves and mostly from a belief that has never faded over time: In God we trust.
The Dry Arab Spring and the Lost Left
Author- Daniel Greenfield Thursday, December 29, 2011 CAN FREE PRESS
All it takes to understand why the Arab Spring was doomed to turn into an Islamic Winter is that Muslims in the Middle East and North Africa were being asked to choose between a Socialist left and an Islamic right. The left has consistently lost open elections in Europe and America, it lost the battle of ideas in Russia and China, and unsurprisingly it also lost the Arab Spring.
The left wields power in the West only because it has managed to seize control of political and cultural institutions. Those institutions are used to maintain a death grip on the national dialogue, to criminalize dissent and to feed money to its supporters who are often literally paid to continue supporting it, whether in government contracts, welfare checks or organizational benefits. If the left did not have its media, its unions and its flow of supportive immigrants, then it would be just another bunch of cranks.The Western left expected that overthrowing the dictators would pave the way for their favorite leftists to take over. Instead, it wasn’t the bloggers or the twitter activists who are ahead, it’s the Islamists. To be fair to the left, many of its key foreign policy people did know that this would happen but were lying about it. They aren’t idiots, they’re traitors.I doubt that anyone at the State Department with a background in the Middle East didn’t know that the Muslim Brotherhood would surge in Egyptian elections or that the organization had numerous affiliates waiting to exploit the Arab Spring. The same goes for all the ex-diplomats holding down organizational positions in groups dedicated to promoting democracy in the region or writing articles for foreign policy journals.
They knew that the liberal bloggers were an expendable way to sell the Arab Spring to the West, but that the final victory would belong to the Islamists. And they know it now, even as they keep lying that the Islamists are moderate and that their victories are only a temporary phenomenon until the local left gets its bearings. Some are working directly or indirectly for the Gulf Arab states, but quite a few are following the Western left’s methodology of using the Clash of Civilizations to bring down the empire of Western civilization.How could anyone have believed that the Middle Eastern left would have won when it has absolutely nothing to offer? El Baradei’s Kefaya movement and the unacknowledged party of many of the twitter activists got its start protesting against America and Israel. How was it supposed to have anything to offer Egyptians beyond the same negative energy that the Muslim Brotherhood could do so much better. If you’re an Egyptian who wants a war with Israel, are you going to trust a simpering puppet like El Baradei to get it done or are you going to cast your vote for the Brotherhood or the Salafis.Kefaya was in the peculiar position of being the American backed Anti-American movement, its activists trained by the Western left, and with Western leaders demanding that El Baradei be appointed to run a transition government. Kefaya smelled a lot like a puppet regime that constantly denounced its puppeteers and that schizophrenic identity didn’t give it much credibility as a revolutionary party.All that left were economic reforms which are not exactly the left’s strong suit and not very popular. The average Egyptian wants cheaper food and more jobs, but he doesn’t want the process that would make it happen. The Russians quickly turned on the reformers who then turned over the country to the KGB. Netanyahu’s reforms have been as unpopular as they were necessary, but the focus on terrorism and the implosion of the left, as well as the popularity of Sharon, allowed him to do what had to be done. Despite the rise of the Tea Party, the reform proposals in America are not faring any better.
People like the idea of reforms, but they don’t like giving up subsidies or the uncertainty and chaos of the transition to a truer free market system. And the Middle Eastern left are not exactly plausible candidates for economic reform. Had Gamal Mubarak and Saif Gaddafi ever taken power, it is likely that they would have opened up their countries more than any of their revolutionary successors will.The old Arab Socialists could promise national greatness, but the New Arab Left which lacked the military uniforms or the example of the Soviet Union as a model for the region, had nothing of the kind on tap. All they could do was try to sell social justice minus Islam, but not in opposition to Islam and not as a rejection of Islam—and that went over about as well as could be expected.In the United States or Europe a contest between the New Left and the Conservative Right would have provided palatable political options. In the Muslim Middle East it meant a debate over who would offer more subsidies, hate America more and restore the lost dream of national greatness that bedevils the Muslim world.The Middle Eastern left is not secular, it’s not reformist, it’s not populist—it’s not, to put it bluntly, much of anything except in the opposition. It was useful only as the opposition, it allowed educated men and women with a sense of humor and some culture to act as the ambassadors of the Arab Spring to gullible Western journalists who didn’t seem to realize that the reason all these young people were so Westernized is because they are members of the upper classes and live in a bubble of imported Western culture and education. Now they’ve done their jobs and their only accomplishment was to pave the way for the Islamists to come to power. Despite their Western veneer, many of them can live with that, particularly those who had personal or familial grudges to settle with the old regime.
The real problem with the Arab Spring has been the lack of any domestic alternative to the Islamists. For all the talk about exporting American democracy, all we really did was subsidize local leftist NGO’s and fly out bloggers to talk about reform. Could we imagine NOW and DailyKos taking power in America in open elections, and if not, then what were the odds that was going to happen in a Muslim country where people like that are much less representative than they are here.America’s way of life derives from a culture of personal independence that can’t be exported along with its institution. It was a country built by farmers, merchants and rebels who had their fill of lords and laws. The conservative reflex in American politics derives from that culture and it creates a base of opposition to the left. Anti-Monarchism is to American conservatism what Monarchism is to European conservatism, and what Islamism is to the Muslim world. It’s the memory that people reach for when they imagine the better way of life that used to be.This was always the flaw in the neo-conservative program which imagined that the American reflex of independence was universal and that it derived from free and open elections, rather than from the culture of a nation built by people looking to escape oppressive governments.
Democracy does not mean freedom, it means the freedom to choose. What exactly was the Muslim world likely to choose and what choices did it really have? Its domestic left is a joke and its Islamist parties are polished liars who have the money and contacts to create temporary economic booms that allow them to become entrenched and purge their rivals.The Arab Spring had dried up a long time ago. There were no palatable regional alternatives to the Islamists, no philosophy with a regional grip that could counter it, and even the left hesitated to be actual alternatives to the Islamists, fully embracing a secular vision for their countries. Everything that happened was inevitable and it will happen again so long as the region is so barren that even when there is the freedom to choose, there is still nothing worth choosing.

12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
Palestine - Bye Bye Oslo, Hullo Jordan and Egypt
Author- David Singer Thursday, December 29, 2011 CAN FREE PRESS
Veteran Middle East correspondent Robert Fisk may have been a little premature when he stated on 20 September:It’s over: the peace process, the road map, the Oslo agreement; the whole fandango is history.Personally, I think Palestine is a fantasy state, impossible to create now that the Israelis have stolen so much of the Arabs’ land for their colonial projects.Fisk - in attributing this simplistic reason for signing Oslo’s death certificate - totally ignored the two offers made by Israel in 2001 and 2008 to cede its claims under the Mandate for Palestine and the United Nations Charter in more than 90% of the land won from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War.
The real reasons for Oslo’s demise are far deeper and more complex - revealing unbridgeable gaps between Israel and the PLO in reaching any agreement with regard to the following issues after failed on and off negotiations extending over the last 19 years:Israel’s demands that
Israel be recognized as the Jewish State
Any Palestinian State be demilitarized
The final borders determined between it and a Palestinian State be secure and recognized boundaries as stipulated by United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 the PLO’s demands that Israel cede its claims in 100% of the territory won from Jordan in the 1967 War - with possibly equivalent land swaps to negate the removal of Jews from their homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem
Israel agree to accept millions of Palestinian Arabs - and their descendants - who became refugees as a result of the 1948 War
Fisk’s prediction has however been given added weight with the news this week that Hamas has agreed to join the PLO.
If this was to actually occur Israel’s Prime Minister made his government’s position very clear when Israel Radio reportedly quoted him as saying that if Hamas joins the Palestinian government, he would refuse to conduct peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.Little comfort can be taken from the news that the Palestinian Authority might now be prepared to resume the long stalled peace negotiations with Israel if it released 100 prisoners. The parties can talk till the cows come in. But after 19 fruitless years - can sufficient pressure be put on both sides to come to an agreement on all their outstanding demands? The Oslo Accords - and the Palestinian Authority - were born amid great enthusiasm in 1993.The Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee - Francis Sejersted - expressed the following hopes of the Committee when awarding the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize jointly to Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzchak Rabin
In the committee’s view, the so-called Oslo Accords concluded last year between Israel and the PLO meant that developments in the Middle East had taken a new turning. What was revolutionary about them was the de facto mutual recognition by the two parties. Not least by virtue of that recognition, the accords opened up a possible way out of the vicious circle of violence breeding violence, and towards peaceful co-existence.The Nobel Committee’s optimism was misplaced.Yasser Arafat had signed a side letter dated 9 September 1993 - nine days prior to signing the Declaration of Principles in which he assured Yitzchak Rabin:The signing of the Declaration of Principles marks a new era…I would like to confirm the following PLO commitments: The PLO recognizes the right of the State of Israel to exist in peace and security. The PLO accepts United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. The PLO commits itself…to a peaceful resolution of the conflict between the two sides and declares that all outstanding issues relating to permanent status will be resolved through negotiations…the PLO renounces the use of terrorism and other acts of violence and will assume responsibility over all PLO elements and personnel in order to assure their compliance, prevent violations and discipline violators…the PLO affirms that those articles of the Palestinian Covenant which deny Israel’s right to exist, and the provisions of the Covenant which are inconsistent with the commitments of this letter are now inoperative and no longer valid. Consequently, the PLO undertakes to submit to the Palestinian National Council for formal approval the necessary changes in regard to the Palestinian Covenant.
In breach of those commitments:
The PLO Covenant still remains unchanged and unrevised in 2011.
The PLO has rejected the idea of Israel being entitled to secure and recognized borders as required under Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338
The PLO has unilaterally sought to gain statehood - not through negotiations - but by seeking recognition and admission to the United Nations and UNESCO.
The PLO is demanding pre-conditions for resuming the stalled negotiations with Israel.
Indeed one would be unable to find any improvement in the relationship between Israel and the PLO in 2011 to that which existed in 1994 when Mr Serjested declared:
The situation is still full of tension, marked by violence, killings, and insecurity, and stability is still far to seek
The PLO has been given its opportunity for the last 19 years to create a second Arab state in former Palestine - in addition to Jordan - but quite frankly has missed the boat.Martin Sherman has summed up the current situation in these terms:For almost two decades after the Oslo Accords—despite massive financial aid and political support—they have produced nothing but a deeply divided entity, crippled by corruption and cronyism.The result is a dysfunctional polity unable to conduct even the semblance of timely elections, and a puny economy, comprising a minuscule private sector and a bloated public one, totally unsustainable without massive infusions of foreign funds.Sherman’s prescription to abandon Oslo and the two-state solution predicated by the Bush Roadmap is described by him as follows :Since the geography is immutable, the focus must be on the demography.It is thus no more than “elementary” that the long-term preservation of the Jewish state must involve the relocation of the non-Israeli Arabs between the river and the sea. Any other option is self-deluded wishful thinking—or at least the burden of proof to show otherwise is on the proponents of such an option, especially in view of the post-Oslo/post-disengagement experiences.I beg to differ.
Restoring the status quo at 4 June 1967 - as far as can now be done in direct negotiations between Israel and Jordan (and possibly Egypt) and within the framework of Security Council resolutions 242 and 338 and their existing peace treaties - will involve no-one - Arab or Jew - having to leave his current home unless he voluntarily wishes to do so.This is not self-deluded wishful thinking - but It will need some pressure by the Quartet - America, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations - to be placed on Jordan and Egypt to sit down and negotiate with Israel if they refuse to do so voluntarily.The alternative-continued tension, violence, insecurity, killings and instability - cannot be allowed to deteriorate into an inevitable slide into open warfare.To hope for anything else as we usher in 2012 is pure folly.

G-d Went Into Gaza
by Tamar Yonah
Miracles in Gaza is the name of this very inspiring video. Like an onion, there are layers and layers one can peel to see different aspects of Israel. Right now, Israel just finished celebrating the miraculous and joyful holiday of Chanukah, and school has started back as of today. The news is rife with a group of violent Haredi extremists called the Sikrikim. We need more rain in Israel. The Arab Spring is turning into a winter. And in international news, Iran is still a major worry to Israel and the West. Peel away all the brown paper lining of the onion, and one remembers that G-d put the Jewish people here in Israel for a purpose, and He promises us that He will be with us if we keep the Torah. It's a miracle, that we in Israel can live, go to school, shop in malls, celebrate birthdays and weddings, barbecue in our yards, learn at universities, travel on vacation, and pursue our hobbies and interests, when we are surrounded by hundreds of millions of Jew-hating Islamists who want to slit our throats and throw us into the sea. It's a miracle that we are alive here, and even more of a miracle that we survive so WELL here with a special quality of life, despite the glassy-eyed, salivating, rag heads out there with sharpened knives that surround us.
While we have a lot we can worry or complain about, we have a lot we need to be grateful for too. We need to remember how blessed we are, and that living in this tough neighborhood of the Middle East, that G-d is still with us. We just need to look for Him. -And sometimes we can't help but see Him and His handiwork.Now, watch this inspiring video, of how G-d accompanied our soldiers into battle. I don't think I got teary-eyed because my own son is now in the paratroopers. I got teary-eyed because I too can get distracted by all the 'buzz' of the news, the kvetching, the arguments, etc... and forget to see the bigger picture. You decide for yourself where you choose to stand, and what you choose to perceive when you look at life in Israel. But always remember, G-d is with you where you let Him be, where you make space for Him. He will even go into battle with our sons in Gaza.

Lebanon Cannot Get Its Story Right on Arms to Syria-Lebanon is trying to stay out of the Syrian troubles, but Syria and Hizbullah are allies and the latter backs Syria's propaganda line.By Amiel Ungar First Publish: 12/30/2011, 4:45 AM
The Assad regime in Syria has long ignored Lebanese sovereignty and used the porous Syrian Lebanese border as a conduit for smuggling arms to Damascus' allies in Lebanon and most notably the Hizbullah.There is therefore an element of poetic justice to hear the Assad regime blaming Lebanon for allowing Al Qaeda terrorists to infiltrate Syria via Lebanon.Syria has blamed Al Qaeda for the double car bomb attack last Friday that killed 44 people and wounded more than 100. The Syrian opposition accuses the Assad regime of staging the atrocity to backstop its claim that it was fighting international Islamic terrorism rather than dissidents.Lebanon's problem is complicated by the fact that his cabinet is dominated by Assad's Hizbullah allies. This gave rise to a comic exchange when the Lebanese Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn said last week that al Qaeda insurgents were operating on the border disguised as Syrian opposition activists.Syria's envoy to Beirut picked up Ghosn's accusation and urged the Lebanese government to crack down on cross-border arms smuggling that aided and abetted the terrorism.In an interview with the Hizbullah-run website Al-Intiqad, Ambassador Ali Abdelkarim Ali urged Lebanon to initiate serious, strict measures to end arms smuggling from Lebanon into Syria.
The interior minister then contradicted his defense minister, denying the presence of al Qaeda in Lebanon.Prime Minister Najib Mikati tried to reconcile the two positions by saying that there was no evidence that al Qaeda militants were operating in Lebanon It's not the first time there are differences of opinions inside the government,he said. The interior minister said he had no information. The defense minister said he had some information but not complete proof.The area named by Ghosn and Syria as the smuggling center into Syria is Aarsal, adjacent to the Syrian city of Homs. Aarsal is loyal to opposition leader Rafiq Hariri. In general, the Sunni north of Lebanon supports the Sunnis against the Alawite clan of Bashar Assad.Lebanon's Western-backed opposition denounced Ghosn as a minister for the defense of the Assad regime for his accusations and claimed that Syria had violated Lebanese sovereignty by firing at refugees fleeing the Assad crackdown and condemned the government for doing nothing.MP Ahmad Fatfat of Hariri's Future Bloc said on Thursday that the army is present [in the northern town of Akkar], but not present directly at the border with Syria, which means that there is no [political] decision for it to be deployed there.Fatfat told Future News TV that the only beneficiary of the chaos [at the border] is the Syrian regime.In an interesting twist, he claimed that just as South Lebanon spawned a resistance against Israel it was necessary to do the same against Assad.
40,000 Visit Kotel During Hanukkah-More than 40,000 people visited the Western Wall during Hanukkah. Thousands attended daily candle lighting.By Elad Benari First Publish: 12/30/2011, 2:14 AM
About 40,000 people visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem during Hanukkah, the Western Wall Heritage Foundation said on Thursday.According to the foundation, thousands attended the daily lighting of Hanukkah candles at the Kotel. Among the visitors were Israel’s Chief Rabbis, State Comptroller Micha Lidenstrauss, Education Minister Gideon Saar, Cabinet Secretary Zvi Hauser, Police Chief Yohanan Danino, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, and many others.The Western Wall Heritage Foundation noted that there has been a great increase in the number of people who visit the Western Wall and take tours of the Western Wall Tunnels.The Western Wall rabbi, Rav Shmuel Rabinovich, welcomed the statistics and said that the increase in the number of visitors to the Western Wall is testament to the deep connection of the Jewish people to the Kotel’s sacred stones and to its legacy.

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Obama is turning US victories into defeat while pushing the Islamic Caliphate By LAURIE ROTH(PRES CANDIDATE), on December 29th, 2011
Obama has yanked our soldiers back out of Iran and Afghanistan, manipulating whatever kiss up factor he can gain from the progressive left. Obama’s concerned leftists have been mad at him this whole time because he hasn’t stopped the war and brought our troops home. So, at the right, politically expedient, Saul Alinsky moment, Obama yanked them home and in doing so has turned our sure victories into certain defeats, while ignoring General after General and simple common sense. Shame on him.Now, we hear, thanks to www.france24.com, now that our troops are gone out of Iraq that top figures are warning of a push for dictatorship and civil war. Just like with Obama’s betrayal of Egypt, while Muslim Brotherhood swooped in and long time alley, Hosni Mubarak was thrown out, now radicals circle their wagons around Iraq. After all, America is gone….just as Obama would have it.Another disaster looming, among coming disasters in Afghanistan is the pathetic lack of leadership regarding their first big oil contract. CNN money states that China got the deal, offering the best offer, giving Afghanistan 85% of the profit and giving China 15%. Also in the bidding were Britain, Australia and the US. How in God’s green earth did the US not win this bid and do an oil deal with Afghanistan when we have spent hundreds of billions to free them and rebuild their country??? What incredible lack of leadership in the Obama regime would dare to allow such a thing and not make sure the US offered the best deal and won? It is as if, sabotage reigns to destroy any political, economic and military advantage with us and Afghanistan after hundreds of billions have been spent to fight Islamic terror there, free the people and help them rebuild.Obama continues to do whatever he can to promote radical Islamic leadership change throughout the Middle East. Obama is pressing Congress to release the remaining 147 million from the previous budget cycle, in which US aid to the Palestinians was to be $545.7 million. According to the AP lawmakers are pushing for Palestinian bid for UN membership and have now freed up 20% of 187 million for that goal.
Lets see what we have as 2012 approaches
Obama has long ago given Islamic radical and terrorist group HAMAS over 900 million dollars.Never mind that the 40 million dollars is aiding a dangerous scheme by the left and Palestinians to force their way in as a voting member of the UN and be deemed a country. Damn that this boldly increases the danger to Israel and that the ability for Palestine to attack Israel and get away with it from an international viewpoint. Bottom line….Damn Israel.We have already been enlightened by Obama during Arab Spring when Obama and Hillary immediately betrayed long time alley Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and rallied behind Islamic terrorist group Muslim Brotherhood. It is as if Obama wanted radical Islamics to control Egypt and bring more danger to Israel, the West and Middle East. All over the Middle East Obama has backed Muslim Brotherhood and other radical Islamic groups who continue to threaten, attack and murder Jews, Christians and anyone of difference. Why would a REAL President of the US want to give Islamic radicals, like Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, Palestinian leadership or any other name they hide behind, any support or money until they first show bold and verified signs to the US, UN and world that they will stop their threats and attacks on Israel, people of difference and the world? This will never happen with Obama at the helm because I believe he is aiding international Muslim and global elite take over.
A real President who loves America and freedom would harshly rebuke Islam and Sharia law until they stop the sound bites and really show American and the UN reforms. Perhaps the Saudis could start by changing their high school textbooks found for 10th graders that show in graphic detail how to cut off the hands and feet of a thief. While they are at it perhaps Islam. Through out their 57 countries can stop the part of Sharia law that allows beatings of wives, executions of gays, those who change faiths, cutting off limbs of thieves, stoning of rape victims without 4 witnesses and other violent brutality.There is no middle ground. Islam must work our way or take the highway to hell and get out of our face! Join me and speak your mind at: www.rothrevolution.ning.com and listen in on my show at: www.therothshow.com,

2012: The Year of the Scare Author- Judi McLeod Thursday, December 29, 2011 CANADA FREE PRESS
2012 is about to come hurtling into our lives. If the coming New Year could be defined, before even being played out, it would be called The Year of the Scare.
With a myriad of sources vying to capture the attention of everyday people, it will get very difficult sorting out what is true and what is false.Stories about government watch lists will join warnings about coming communication blackouts, the death of the worldwide web, the return of the plague, contagious influenza with the power to kill off world populations, bloody revolutions on the street imposed by shady powers behind the well-funded, media darling Occupy Wall Street (OWS) Movement.
By the time a modern day Samuel Pepys happens along to make sense of it all, events will have frightened some people from coming out of their homes.People are being deliberately kept on the edge. People kept on the edge are not as productive as they would be on an even playing field.Seeping already into the ongoing exchange of ideas is a strong sense of embitterment that can be seen on website comment sections, and one steadily making enemies of longtime friends.Political arguments are gathering heat, and screaming matches are replacing what were once only political disagreements.Over the months leading up to Election Year, a not-so-subtle shift has taken place.Thanks to the embittered Clintons, carping Hollywood stars, and all those ready to blame their personal life failures on anyone else, the Enemy of the State was George Bush, who political replacement Barack Obama has done a stellar job keeping blame on for the steady decline of the United States of America.
But blaming Bush is only an astroturfed political convenience. The biggest and most dangerous shift that has come into the public arena is the one that lets off the hook the first and only president who has publicly promised the fundamental Transformation of America.
How does this shift survive in the light of day? How did it happen that more heated opinion and embitterment follow presidential candidates than the man under whose watch the economy failed, the free market was effectively suppressed and where jobs disappeared into a sink hole and still disappear daily? As challenging 2012 unfolds to November 6, people will be hard pressed to escape Obama and the Czars many coming Friday fright nights.Much of what is coming for patriots will be based on fear mongering. Most of what the power-hungry government sends out is based on the strategy of wanting you to think what they are going to do.The Government wants you to think it, worry it and sweat it.They are shutting down the Internet? Nobody needs the Internet more than the government in Election Year.They are now stocking FEMA camps in which to herd people? The only sensible answer for that is: We’re not going anywhere.OWS activists are sending out their version of Survival for Dummies because they are predicting bloodshed on the streets? The Rule of Law prevents it.
A virulent new flu strain is going to wipe out the entire population? The United Nations has come up with several influenza scares since Obama took office.With the mainstream media now dancing along the same party trail as some of the major conspiracy theorists, how to distinguish between truth and propaganda? Apply the beloved Ronald Reagan’s lifelong rule of thumb: Trust, but verify.The world unfolds now as it has through many other dark and trying eras.Survival does not come from Czars or OWS. Survival is for those who believe in themselves and mostly from a belief that has never faded over time: In God we trust.
The Dry Arab Spring and the Lost Left
Author- Daniel Greenfield Thursday, December 29, 2011 CAN FREE PRESS
All it takes to understand why the Arab Spring was doomed to turn into an Islamic Winter is that Muslims in the Middle East and North Africa were being asked to choose between a Socialist left and an Islamic right. The left has consistently lost open elections in Europe and America, it lost the battle of ideas in Russia and China, and unsurprisingly it also lost the Arab Spring.
The left wields power in the West only because it has managed to seize control of political and cultural institutions. Those institutions are used to maintain a death grip on the national dialogue, to criminalize dissent and to feed money to its supporters who are often literally paid to continue supporting it, whether in government contracts, welfare checks or organizational benefits. If the left did not have its media, its unions and its flow of supportive immigrants, then it would be just another bunch of cranks.The Western left expected that overthrowing the dictators would pave the way for their favorite leftists to take over. Instead, it wasn’t the bloggers or the twitter activists who are ahead, it’s the Islamists. To be fair to the left, many of its key foreign policy people did know that this would happen but were lying about it. They aren’t idiots, they’re traitors.I doubt that anyone at the State Department with a background in the Middle East didn’t know that the Muslim Brotherhood would surge in Egyptian elections or that the organization had numerous affiliates waiting to exploit the Arab Spring. The same goes for all the ex-diplomats holding down organizational positions in groups dedicated to promoting democracy in the region or writing articles for foreign policy journals.
They knew that the liberal bloggers were an expendable way to sell the Arab Spring to the West, but that the final victory would belong to the Islamists. And they know it now, even as they keep lying that the Islamists are moderate and that their victories are only a temporary phenomenon until the local left gets its bearings. Some are working directly or indirectly for the Gulf Arab states, but quite a few are following the Western left’s methodology of using the Clash of Civilizations to bring down the empire of Western civilization.How could anyone have believed that the Middle Eastern left would have won when it has absolutely nothing to offer? El Baradei’s Kefaya movement and the unacknowledged party of many of the twitter activists got its start protesting against America and Israel. How was it supposed to have anything to offer Egyptians beyond the same negative energy that the Muslim Brotherhood could do so much better. If you’re an Egyptian who wants a war with Israel, are you going to trust a simpering puppet like El Baradei to get it done or are you going to cast your vote for the Brotherhood or the Salafis.Kefaya was in the peculiar position of being the American backed Anti-American movement, its activists trained by the Western left, and with Western leaders demanding that El Baradei be appointed to run a transition government. Kefaya smelled a lot like a puppet regime that constantly denounced its puppeteers and that schizophrenic identity didn’t give it much credibility as a revolutionary party.All that left were economic reforms which are not exactly the left’s strong suit and not very popular. The average Egyptian wants cheaper food and more jobs, but he doesn’t want the process that would make it happen. The Russians quickly turned on the reformers who then turned over the country to the KGB. Netanyahu’s reforms have been as unpopular as they were necessary, but the focus on terrorism and the implosion of the left, as well as the popularity of Sharon, allowed him to do what had to be done. Despite the rise of the Tea Party, the reform proposals in America are not faring any better.
People like the idea of reforms, but they don’t like giving up subsidies or the uncertainty and chaos of the transition to a truer free market system. And the Middle Eastern left are not exactly plausible candidates for economic reform. Had Gamal Mubarak and Saif Gaddafi ever taken power, it is likely that they would have opened up their countries more than any of their revolutionary successors will.The old Arab Socialists could promise national greatness, but the New Arab Left which lacked the military uniforms or the example of the Soviet Union as a model for the region, had nothing of the kind on tap. All they could do was try to sell social justice minus Islam, but not in opposition to Islam and not as a rejection of Islam—and that went over about as well as could be expected.In the United States or Europe a contest between the New Left and the Conservative Right would have provided palatable political options. In the Muslim Middle East it meant a debate over who would offer more subsidies, hate America more and restore the lost dream of national greatness that bedevils the Muslim world.The Middle Eastern left is not secular, it’s not reformist, it’s not populist—it’s not, to put it bluntly, much of anything except in the opposition. It was useful only as the opposition, it allowed educated men and women with a sense of humor and some culture to act as the ambassadors of the Arab Spring to gullible Western journalists who didn’t seem to realize that the reason all these young people were so Westernized is because they are members of the upper classes and live in a bubble of imported Western culture and education. Now they’ve done their jobs and their only accomplishment was to pave the way for the Islamists to come to power. Despite their Western veneer, many of them can live with that, particularly those who had personal or familial grudges to settle with the old regime.
The real problem with the Arab Spring has been the lack of any domestic alternative to the Islamists. For all the talk about exporting American democracy, all we really did was subsidize local leftist NGO’s and fly out bloggers to talk about reform. Could we imagine NOW and DailyKos taking power in America in open elections, and if not, then what were the odds that was going to happen in a Muslim country where people like that are much less representative than they are here.America’s way of life derives from a culture of personal independence that can’t be exported along with its institution. It was a country built by farmers, merchants and rebels who had their fill of lords and laws. The conservative reflex in American politics derives from that culture and it creates a base of opposition to the left. Anti-Monarchism is to American conservatism what Monarchism is to European conservatism, and what Islamism is to the Muslim world. It’s the memory that people reach for when they imagine the better way of life that used to be.This was always the flaw in the neo-conservative program which imagined that the American reflex of independence was universal and that it derived from free and open elections, rather than from the culture of a nation built by people looking to escape oppressive governments.
Democracy does not mean freedom, it means the freedom to choose. What exactly was the Muslim world likely to choose and what choices did it really have? Its domestic left is a joke and its Islamist parties are polished liars who have the money and contacts to create temporary economic booms that allow them to become entrenched and purge their rivals.The Arab Spring had dried up a long time ago. There were no palatable regional alternatives to the Islamists, no philosophy with a regional grip that could counter it, and even the left hesitated to be actual alternatives to the Islamists, fully embracing a secular vision for their countries. Everything that happened was inevitable and it will happen again so long as the region is so barren that even when there is the freedom to choose, there is still nothing worth choosing.

Palestine - Bye Bye Oslo, Hullo Jordan and Egypt
Author- David Singer Thursday, December 29, 2011 CAN FREE PRESS
Veteran Middle East correspondent Robert Fisk may have been a little premature when he stated on 20 September:It’s over: the peace process, the road map, the Oslo agreement; the whole fandango is history.Personally, I think Palestine is a fantasy state, impossible to create now that the Israelis have stolen so much of the Arabs’ land for their colonial projects.Fisk - in attributing this simplistic reason for signing Oslo’s death certificate - totally ignored the two offers made by Israel in 2001 and 2008 to cede its claims under the Mandate for Palestine and the United Nations Charter in more than 90% of the land won from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War.
The real reasons for Oslo’s demise are far deeper and more complex - revealing unbridgeable gaps between Israel and the PLO in reaching any agreement with regard to the following issues after failed on and off negotiations extending over the last 19 years:Israel’s demands that
Israel be recognized as the Jewish State
Any Palestinian State be demilitarized
The final borders determined between it and a Palestinian State be secure and recognized boundaries as stipulated by United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 the PLO’s demands that Israel cede its claims in 100% of the territory won from Jordan in the 1967 War - with possibly equivalent land swaps to negate the removal of Jews from their homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem
Israel agree to accept millions of Palestinian Arabs - and their descendants - who became refugees as a result of the 1948 War
Fisk’s prediction has however been given added weight with the news this week that Hamas has agreed to join the PLO.
If this was to actually occur Israel’s Prime Minister made his government’s position very clear when Israel Radio reportedly quoted him as saying that if Hamas joins the Palestinian government, he would refuse to conduct peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.Little comfort can be taken from the news that the Palestinian Authority might now be prepared to resume the long stalled peace negotiations with Israel if it released 100 prisoners. The parties can talk till the cows come in. But after 19 fruitless years - can sufficient pressure be put on both sides to come to an agreement on all their outstanding demands? The Oslo Accords - and the Palestinian Authority - were born amid great enthusiasm in 1993.The Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee - Francis Sejersted - expressed the following hopes of the Committee when awarding the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize jointly to Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzchak Rabin
In the committee’s view, the so-called Oslo Accords concluded last year between Israel and the PLO meant that developments in the Middle East had taken a new turning. What was revolutionary about them was the de facto mutual recognition by the two parties. Not least by virtue of that recognition, the accords opened up a possible way out of the vicious circle of violence breeding violence, and towards peaceful co-existence.The Nobel Committee’s optimism was misplaced.Yasser Arafat had signed a side letter dated 9 September 1993 - nine days prior to signing the Declaration of Principles in which he assured Yitzchak Rabin:The signing of the Declaration of Principles marks a new era…I would like to confirm the following PLO commitments: The PLO recognizes the right of the State of Israel to exist in peace and security. The PLO accepts United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. The PLO commits itself…to a peaceful resolution of the conflict between the two sides and declares that all outstanding issues relating to permanent status will be resolved through negotiations…the PLO renounces the use of terrorism and other acts of violence and will assume responsibility over all PLO elements and personnel in order to assure their compliance, prevent violations and discipline violators…the PLO affirms that those articles of the Palestinian Covenant which deny Israel’s right to exist, and the provisions of the Covenant which are inconsistent with the commitments of this letter are now inoperative and no longer valid. Consequently, the PLO undertakes to submit to the Palestinian National Council for formal approval the necessary changes in regard to the Palestinian Covenant.
In breach of those commitments:
The PLO Covenant still remains unchanged and unrevised in 2011.
The PLO has rejected the idea of Israel being entitled to secure and recognized borders as required under Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338
The PLO has unilaterally sought to gain statehood - not through negotiations - but by seeking recognition and admission to the United Nations and UNESCO.
The PLO is demanding pre-conditions for resuming the stalled negotiations with Israel.
Indeed one would be unable to find any improvement in the relationship between Israel and the PLO in 2011 to that which existed in 1994 when Mr Serjested declared:
The situation is still full of tension, marked by violence, killings, and insecurity, and stability is still far to seek
The PLO has been given its opportunity for the last 19 years to create a second Arab state in former Palestine - in addition to Jordan - but quite frankly has missed the boat.Martin Sherman has summed up the current situation in these terms:For almost two decades after the Oslo Accords—despite massive financial aid and political support—they have produced nothing but a deeply divided entity, crippled by corruption and cronyism.The result is a dysfunctional polity unable to conduct even the semblance of timely elections, and a puny economy, comprising a minuscule private sector and a bloated public one, totally unsustainable without massive infusions of foreign funds.Sherman’s prescription to abandon Oslo and the two-state solution predicated by the Bush Roadmap is described by him as follows :Since the geography is immutable, the focus must be on the demography.It is thus no more than “elementary” that the long-term preservation of the Jewish state must involve the relocation of the non-Israeli Arabs between the river and the sea. Any other option is self-deluded wishful thinking—or at least the burden of proof to show otherwise is on the proponents of such an option, especially in view of the post-Oslo/post-disengagement experiences.I beg to differ.
Restoring the status quo at 4 June 1967 - as far as can now be done in direct negotiations between Israel and Jordan (and possibly Egypt) and within the framework of Security Council resolutions 242 and 338 and their existing peace treaties - will involve no-one - Arab or Jew - having to leave his current home unless he voluntarily wishes to do so.This is not self-deluded wishful thinking - but It will need some pressure by the Quartet - America, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations - to be placed on Jordan and Egypt to sit down and negotiate with Israel if they refuse to do so voluntarily.The alternative-continued tension, violence, insecurity, killings and instability - cannot be allowed to deteriorate into an inevitable slide into open warfare.To hope for anything else as we usher in 2012 is pure folly.

G-d Went Into Gaza
by Tamar Yonah
Miracles in Gaza is the name of this very inspiring video. Like an onion, there are layers and layers one can peel to see different aspects of Israel. Right now, Israel just finished celebrating the miraculous and joyful holiday of Chanukah, and school has started back as of today. The news is rife with a group of violent Haredi extremists called the Sikrikim. We need more rain in Israel. The Arab Spring is turning into a winter. And in international news, Iran is still a major worry to Israel and the West. Peel away all the brown paper lining of the onion, and one remembers that G-d put the Jewish people here in Israel for a purpose, and He promises us that He will be with us if we keep the Torah. It's a miracle, that we in Israel can live, go to school, shop in malls, celebrate birthdays and weddings, barbecue in our yards, learn at universities, travel on vacation, and pursue our hobbies and interests, when we are surrounded by hundreds of millions of Jew-hating Islamists who want to slit our throats and throw us into the sea. It's a miracle that we are alive here, and even more of a miracle that we survive so WELL here with a special quality of life, despite the glassy-eyed, salivating, rag heads out there with sharpened knives that surround us.
While we have a lot we can worry or complain about, we have a lot we need to be grateful for too. We need to remember how blessed we are, and that living in this tough neighborhood of the Middle East, that G-d is still with us. We just need to look for Him. -And sometimes we can't help but see Him and His handiwork.Now, watch this inspiring video, of how G-d accompanied our soldiers into battle. I don't think I got teary-eyed because my own son is now in the paratroopers. I got teary-eyed because I too can get distracted by all the 'buzz' of the news, the kvetching, the arguments, etc... and forget to see the bigger picture. You decide for yourself where you choose to stand, and what you choose to perceive when you look at life in Israel. But always remember, G-d is with you where you let Him be, where you make space for Him. He will even go into battle with our sons in Gaza.

Lebanon Cannot Get Its Story Right on Arms to Syria-Lebanon is trying to stay out of the Syrian troubles, but Syria and Hizbullah are allies and the latter backs Syria's propaganda line.By Amiel Ungar First Publish: 12/30/2011, 4:45 AM
The Assad regime in Syria has long ignored Lebanese sovereignty and used the porous Syrian Lebanese border as a conduit for smuggling arms to Damascus' allies in Lebanon and most notably the Hizbullah.There is therefore an element of poetic justice to hear the Assad regime blaming Lebanon for allowing Al Qaeda terrorists to infiltrate Syria via Lebanon.Syria has blamed Al Qaeda for the double car bomb attack last Friday that killed 44 people and wounded more than 100. The Syrian opposition accuses the Assad regime of staging the atrocity to backstop its claim that it was fighting international Islamic terrorism rather than dissidents.Lebanon's problem is complicated by the fact that his cabinet is dominated by Assad's Hizbullah allies. This gave rise to a comic exchange when the Lebanese Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn said last week that al Qaeda insurgents were operating on the border disguised as Syrian opposition activists.Syria's envoy to Beirut picked up Ghosn's accusation and urged the Lebanese government to crack down on cross-border arms smuggling that aided and abetted the terrorism.In an interview with the Hizbullah-run website Al-Intiqad, Ambassador Ali Abdelkarim Ali urged Lebanon to initiate serious, strict measures to end arms smuggling from Lebanon into Syria.
The interior minister then contradicted his defense minister, denying the presence of al Qaeda in Lebanon.Prime Minister Najib Mikati tried to reconcile the two positions by saying that there was no evidence that al Qaeda militants were operating in Lebanon It's not the first time there are differences of opinions inside the government,he said. The interior minister said he had no information. The defense minister said he had some information but not complete proof.The area named by Ghosn and Syria as the smuggling center into Syria is Aarsal, adjacent to the Syrian city of Homs. Aarsal is loyal to opposition leader Rafiq Hariri. In general, the Sunni north of Lebanon supports the Sunnis against the Alawite clan of Bashar Assad.Lebanon's Western-backed opposition denounced Ghosn as a minister for the defense of the Assad regime for his accusations and claimed that Syria had violated Lebanese sovereignty by firing at refugees fleeing the Assad crackdown and condemned the government for doing nothing.MP Ahmad Fatfat of Hariri's Future Bloc said on Thursday that the army is present [in the northern town of Akkar], but not present directly at the border with Syria, which means that there is no [political] decision for it to be deployed there.Fatfat told Future News TV that the only beneficiary of the chaos [at the border] is the Syrian regime.In an interesting twist, he claimed that just as South Lebanon spawned a resistance against Israel it was necessary to do the same against Assad.

Ireland plans referendum body to prepare for possible EU treaty poll 28.12.11 @ 08:33 By Honor Mahony
BRUSSELS - Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny has said he intends to establish a permanent referendum commission so that the public is fully prepared for a possible poll on the fiscal discipline treaty currently being drawn up by member states.I cannot give you an indication now as to whether there will actually be a referendum in respect of the inter-governmental agreement from the European business until the text is finalised and we get the advice of the attorney general,said Kenny on Tuesday (28 December), according to PA.What I am going to do though is set up the Referendum Commission on a much more permanent basis so that the commission will be able to reflect in readiness as to what is actually going to happen.Referendum commissions are set up ahead of each referendum in Ireland to give neutral information on the topic being put to vote.EU leaders, with the exception of Britain, agreed earlier this month to tighten up fiscal and budgetary surveillance in the eurozone in the form of an inter-governmental pact.With the 17 eurozone states under pressure to agree the text as soon as possible, Ireland is already in the spotlight for the possible problems it might have with ratification.
Attorney general Marie Whelan is examining the details of the agreement - a draft of which was circulated on 16 December - to see if they imply a change to Ireland's constitution through more powers being handed over to the EU level. This would require a referendum.Ireland is feeling the pressure after having seen the last two EU treaties - the Nice and Lisbon Treaty - rejected by voters. Subsequent referendums saw both treaties then accepted.But the governments at the time came under fierce criticism, particularly in the case of the Lisbon Treaty, for being too complacent about the result in the run-up to the first referendum and and letting critics of the treaty frame the debate.This time round, the current government also has to contend with the fact that a potential referendum would take place as the Irish continue to endure swingeing austerity measures, put in place in return for an EU-IMF bailout in 2010.The Irish government, gloomy about the prospect of a Yes vote under such conditions, has rejected a call by the opposition to hold a referendum on the treaty regardless of whether one is legally required.You don’t go holding a referendum unless you have to and clearly the advice of the attorney general is what the government will act on as we’ve always done,said Kenny, according to the Irish Times.Meanwhile, Ireland's EU partners have already anticipated its potential ratification problems.The treaty draft circulated earlier this month suggested that the agreement will enter into force once nine countries have ratified it - although it is thought that Berlin may want to raise this threshold to ensure as many eurozone states are on board as possible.
Bosnian factions form government in hope of EU candidate status Today DEC 29,11 @ 09:00 By Leigh Phillips
BRUSSELS - Bosnia’s feuding political factions have backed a new administration for the ethnically divided state, breaking an impasse that has lasted more than a year.
Political leaders from all sides hope that the development will ease the country’s path to EU accession candidate status in the new year.A close election result in 2010 produced a Belgium-like political stalemate that only on Wednesday after hours of talks was resolved when Bosnia’s Muslim, Serb and Croat leaders agreed to a deal endorsing a budget for 2011 and a financial framework for the next two years.For the past 12 months, government bodies have been financed via ad hoc funding mechanisms.
The deal will also see a Bosnia Croat, Dragan Covic, take up the premiership of the state and a Bosnian Muslim in the post of foreign minister.The agreement will also see the new government oversee a fresh census - long a political hot potato in the region - and new laws on the distribution of public funds, both of which were moves Brussels demanded ahead of giving the green light to status as a candidate for membership of the EU.Both the EU and the United States have applied heavy pressure to political groups to achieve consensus, with the International Monetary Fund and Brussels withholding $100 million in aid as a result of the deadlock.Political leaders hope that the agreement will see both a release of the much-needed funds and a strong signal from the EU that Sarajevo may one day join the bloc.It is important that we reached a political agreement,said Milorad Dodik, leader of the Bosnian Serbs, so that Bosnia can apply for candidate status of the European Union.
France to hold jobs summit as unemployment hits 12-year high Today DEC 29,11 @ 09:09 By Honor Mahony
BRUSSELS - A sharp rise in France's unemployment figures is putting pressure on President Nicolas Sarkozy to deliver, with over half the French population wanting the candidates for the spring presidential election to focus their energies on maintaining jobs.Figures released by the labour ministry this week show that the number of those unemployed hit 2.85 million in November, a 12-year high and the seventh consecutive monthly increase.The numbers have sparked a debate in France about the nature and future of employment with Sarkozy convening a jobs summit on 18 January.The discussion has mainly focussed on part-time work and reducing hours and salaries instead of losing jobs, a proposal that has to be agreed with the unions.
Employment minister Xavier Bertrand said the January summit would see solutions that could be applied rapidly in order to contain the effects of the crisis to the maximum.France's joblessness plight has once again highlighted the difference between the strength of its economy in comparison with neighbouring Germany - a fact that has increasingly put the Franco-German relationship out of kilter.Germany's falling unemployment was acknowledged by Bertrand: Only Germany today is seeing its unemployment recede because they carried out profound reforms of the jobs market starting ten years ago and lasting ten years. We undertook (reforms) only a few years ago. That is the difference.
The news of the summit comes as figures show that de-industrialisation in France has accelarated since the start of the crisis in 2008.According to Les Echos, the French financial daily, almost 900 factories have been closed since 2008. Of these, 400 were closed in 2009, the year the crisis hit the hardest, while 200 were closed in 2011.The effect on employment has been huge. Over the last three years, some 100,000 jobs in the industrial sector have been lost.Unemployment as an issue is a number-one priority on French voters' minds. According to a poll in La Croix newspaper, 52 percent of French people want the candidates for the April presidential elections to focus on responses that maintain employment.However, 72 of the respondents believe that presidential campaign so far is bringing response that are far from their concerns.Of the main candidates in the running, socialist contender Francois Hollande is seen as proposing the best solutions to the daily problems of French citizens by 24 percent of those polled. Sarkozy comes in second with 20 percent and far-right politician Marine Le Pen in third place (16%).While all candidates will focus on combatting unemployment and there are set to be many proposals for economic growth, their hands will be tied by France's commitment to reduce its high budget deficit, as part of an overall plan to contain the eurozone debt crisis.
IMF approves new $46.3 million loan for Mali
ReutersBy JoAnne Allen | Reuters – Wed, Dec 28, 2011
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund on Tuesday approved a new $46.3 million loan program for Mali and approved an immediate disbursement of $9.3 million.The loan arrangement was made under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) in support of the country's strategy to increase growth and reduce poverty, the IMF said in a statement.The economic outlook for Mali is favorable, but subject to downside risks because the country's agricultural sector remains highly vulnerable to adverse weather conditions, the IMF said.Mali, a largely desert country, is Africa's third-largest gold miner. The country economy was hard hit by conflicts in Ivory Coast and Libya this year.

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

Syrian forces kill 11 protesters, monitors reach 2 cities ReutersBy Mariam Karouny and Erika Solomon | Reuters – DEC 29,11
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian security forces fired on anti-government protests and killed 11 people on Thursday, as Arab League peace monitors arrived in two more cities to check on compliance with a plan to end bloodshed.Killings were reported at rallies in towns across Syria, including four in Hama shortly after a monitoring team arrived. Two more people were shot in Idlib, another monitors' destination, as they passed a security checkpoint.The cities to be visited on Thursday - Deraa, Hama and Idlib - lie along a 450-km (280-mile) arc of revolt from the south to the north of Syria. At its midpoint is Homs, where the monitors' second day had a controversial start when its Sudanese chief reported seeing nothing frightening in an initial tour.The Arab mission is the first notable international involvement in Syria's conflict, in which thousands have been killed in a military crackdown on the uprising against 41 years of rule by the family of President Bashar al-Assad.But questions have arisen about the monitors' credibility as their movements appear to be restricted.Syrian state television reported that monitors had arrived in Hama and Deraa.Shortly before, anti-Assad activists said they had seen no sign of monitors on the streets by mid-afternoon and they were unable to contact them by telephone. Extra security forces were deployed around restive areas expecting monitors, they said.Where are they? We worked very hard for this visit, we got witnesses and documented deaths and sites of shelling. People wanted to march but the monitors are missing. The security presence is really strong - it looks like they have been preparing as much as we have,said activist Odei in Idlib.
In Hama, activists said protesters went down into the streets in Hama to await the Arab League delegation, amid heavy security with snipers pointing guns out of top floor windows.People really hope to reach (the monitors). We do not have much access to the team. The people stopped believing anything or anyone now. Only God can help us now, said Abu Hisham, an opposition activist in Hama.Hama has a haunting resonance to Syrians opposed to Assad because up to 30,000 people were massacred there in 1982 when his father, president at the time, had armed forces raze part of the city to the ground to crush an Islamist uprising.Residents in the Harasta suburb of the capital Damascus said they had spotted cars with an Arab League logo. If the monitors were indeed there, it would be their first surprise visit.A source in the Arab League mission's operations centre in Cairo said earlier on Thursday there had been a problem with communications but the monitors' schedule was holding up.We have contacted our teams ... Today's plan will not be changed and the only problem we faced today was the bad phone network, which made our communication with the monitors harder. It took more time to reach them and determine their locations.
WHERE WERE THEY?
Unless it can establish its credibility by proving it has unobstructed access to all areas and is able to hear uncensored accounts, the Arab League mission may not be able to satisfy all sides that it can make an objective assessment of the crisis.The United Nations estimates that at least 5,000 people, mostly civilian protesters, have been killed in nine months of unrest that Assad has sought to stamp out with tanks and troops storming into restive cities and towns.Fifteen people died on the monitors' first day and activists, fearing the Arab League team will be ineffective, say they expect the bloodshed to continue until observers leave.Assad says he is combating Islamist militants steered from abroad. He says over 2,000 security force men have been killed.Syria's upheaval continues a series of popular Arab uprisings that have toppled three dictators this year.In Homs, Syria's third largest city and epicenter of anti-Assad ferment, protesters said they were already fed up with the monitors who they said seemed unsympathetic and were hard to find even when touring their neighborhoods.This mission is a big lie. They say they were in Khalidiya neighborhood. I haven't seen them, said Tamir, shouting by telephone over protester chants of down with the regime.We've been here at the protest. Where were they? The head of the main opposition group in exile, The Syrian National Council, met with Arab League officials in Cairo to discuss the monitoring mission.The delegation should have been bigger because the points of confrontation and violence are much greater than the number of the monitors, and they should have better logistical means to enable them to move quicker,Burhan Ghalioun told reporters.
Some 150 monitors in all are expected to enter Syria by the end of the week. But activists say Syrian government or security officials escorting monitors can intimidate residents in protest hotbed areas and that there are not enough monitors to see the full scope of unrest in a large country of 23 million people.Burhan Ghalioun blamed Assad's government for the monitors' restrictive conditions: Until now the Syrian regime has not changed its style of lies and tricks,he said.The mission chief himself, Sudanese General Mustafa al-Dabi, raised international concern for the team's credibility when he said he had seen nothing frightening on a very brief initial trip to Homs on Tuesday.This was only the first day and it will need investigation. We have 20 people who will be there for a long time,he said.
BUDDING INSURRECTION
Relentless military attacks on protests have also bred armed insurgency and thousands of rebels and army defectors have formed the Free Syrian Army (FSA) to attack military and police convoys, bases and checkpoints.A gritty video shot by rebels in Deraa showed the ambush of a security forces convoy on Wednesday by nine gunmen who opened fire from a rootfop. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said four soldiers were killed in the attack by the FSA.Syria resisted outside involvement for months but yielded to unprecedented pressure from fellow members of the 22-state Arab League last month, agreeing to let the monitors in to witness withdrawals of forces from turbulent cities.If the mission cannot credibly certify to the world that Assad is reining in his forces with a genuine will to negotiate reform with his opponents, the U.S. State Department has said other means of international action will be pursued.(Additional reporting by Ayman Samir and Yasmine Saleh in Cairo and Suleiman al-Khalidi in Amman; Writing by Douglas Hamilton and Erika Solomon; Editing by Mark Heinrich)
Russia slams US for its human rights record
Associated PressAP – DEC 29,11
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's Foreign Ministry has attacked America's human rights record in its first report on injustice elsewhere in the world, offering examples such as the Guantanamo Bay prison and wrongful death row convictions to paint the U.S. as hypocritical for lecturing other nations on the subject of rights.The situation in the United States is a far cry from the ideals that Washington proclaims, says the report released Wednesday.Moscow has previously reacted angrily to the accusations of human rights breaches that the U.S. State Department has leveled at Russia in its annual reports. The State Department has expressed concern about the violent attacks on rights activists and journalists in Russia, most of which go unpunished. It also has criticized abuses in Russia's Caucasus, including extrajudicial killings, kidnappings and torture.The 90-page Russian report slams EU nations, Canada and Georgia, but reserves its longest section of 20 pages for what it says are violations by the United States. The report does not cover Asia, Africa or the Middle East, other than a five-page section criticizing the NATO operation in Libya.
Moscow laments the ongoing operation of the notorious prison in Guantanamo Bay, where terrorism suspects have been held since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, and criticizes President Barack Obama for legalizing indefinite and extrajudicial custody and the return of court martials.The report accuses the U.S. of prying into citizens' personal lives and violating the rights of Muslim Americans in the fight against terrorism. It also points to errors made by American courts.Judicial errors are the Achilles heel of American justice as concerns capital punishment, the report argues. It notes the roughly 130 people sentenced to death in the past 30 years who were later cleared of the charges, some after they were executed.The Foreign Ministry also struck back at international criticism of Russia's recent parliamentary election, which independent observers said involved widespread fraud. Outrage over the vote set off a spate of protests led by citizens unhappy with Vladimir Putin's rule.The report accuses the U.S. of blocking independent candidates from elections and criticizes the practice of allowing governors to nominate senators when a Senate seat is vacated, as when Obama became president. It refers to the conviction this year of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was accused of trying to auction off Obama's Senate seat.
The State Department is reviewing the Russian report, spokesman Mark Toner said. He said such reports can be a useful mechanism provided that they are produced using objective methodology.We certainly don't regard it as interference in our internal affairs when foreign governments, individuals or organizations comment on or criticize U.S. human rights practices,he said, adding later,In terms of our human rights record, we're an open book.
Iran warns of closing strategic Hormuz oil route
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI | AP – DEC 29,11
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's navy chief warned Wednesday that his country can easily close the strategic Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the passageway through which a sixth of the world's oil flows.It was the second such warning in two days. On Tuesday, Vice President Mohamed Reza Rahimi threatened to close the strait, cutting off oil exports, if the West imposes sanctions on Iran's oil shipments.In response, the Bahrain-based U.S. 5th Fleet's spokeswoman warned that any disruption will not be tolerated. The spokeswoman, Lt. Rebecca Rebarich, said the U.S. Navy is always ready to counter malevolent actions to ensure freedom of navigation.With concern growing over a possible drop-off in Iranian oil supplies, a senior Saudi oil official said Gulf Arab nations are ready to offset any loss of Iranian crude.That reassurance led to a drop in world oil prices. In New York, benchmark crude fell 77 cents to $100.57 a barrel in morning trading. Brent crude fell 82 cents to $108.45 a barrel in London.Closing the Strait of Hormuz is very easy for Iranian naval forces, Adm. Habibollah Sayyari told state-run Press TV. Iran has comprehensive control over the strategic waterway,the navy chief said.The threats underline Iranian concern that the West is about to impose new sanctions that could target Tehran's vital oil industry and exports.
Western nations are growing increasingly impatient with Iran over its nuclear program. The U.S. and its allies have accused Iran of using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to develop nuclear weapons. Iran has denied the charges, saying its program is geared toward generating electricity and producing medical radioisotopes to treat cancer patients.The U.S. Congress has passed a bill banning dealings with the Iran Central Bank, and President Barack Obama has said he will sign it despite his misgivings. Critics warn it could impose hardships on U.S. allies and drive up oil prices.The bill could impose penalties on foreign firms that do business with Iran's central bank. European and Asian nations import Iranian oil and use its central bank for the transactions.Iran is the world's fourth-largest oil producer, with an output of about 4 million barrels of oil a day. It relies on oil exports for about 80 percent of its public revenues.Iran has adopted an aggressive military posture in recent months in response to increasing threats from the U.S. and Israel that they may take military action to stop Iran's nuclear program.The navy is in the midst of a 10-day drill in international waters near the strategic oil route. The exercises began Saturday and involve submarines, missile drills, torpedoes and drones. The war games cover a 1,250-mile (2,000-kilometer) stretch of sea off the Strait of Hormuz, northern parts of the Indian Ocean and into the Gulf of Aden near the entrance to the Red Sea as a show of strength and could bring Iranian ships into proximity with U.S. Navy vessels in the area.
Iranian media are describing how Iran could move to close the strait, saying the country would use a combination of warships, submarines, speed boats, anti-ship cruise missiles, torpedoes, surface-to-sea missiles and drones to stop ships from sailing through the narrow waterway.Iran's navy claims it has sonar-evading submarines designed for shallow waters of the Persian Gulf, enabling it to hit passing enemy vessels.A closure of the strait could temporarily cut off some oil supplies and force shippers to take longer, more expensive routes that would drive oil prices higher. It also potentially opens the door for a military confrontation that would further rattle global oil markets.Iran claimed a victory this month when it captured an American surveillance drone almost intact. It went public with its possession of the RQ-170 Sentinel to trumpet the downing as a feat of Iran's military in a complicated technological and intelligence battle with the U.S.American officials have said that U.S. intelligence assessments indicate the drone malfunctioned.Additional reporting from Adam Schreck in Dubai, UAE.
U.S. Fifth Fleet says won't allow Hormuz disruption
ReutersBy Parisa Hafezi and Humeyra Pamuk | Reuters – DEC 29,11
TEHRAN/DUBAI (Reuters) - The U.S. Fifth Fleet said on Wednesday it would not allow any disruption of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, after Iran threatened to stop ships moving through the world's most important oil route.Anyone who threatens to disrupt freedom of navigation in an international strait is clearly outside the community of nations; any disruption will not be tolerated,the Bahrain-based fleet said in an e-mail.Iran, at loggerheads with the West over its nuclear program, said on Tuesday it would stop the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf if sanctions were imposed on its crude exports.Closing the Strait of Hormuz for Iran's armed forces is really easy ... or as Iranians say, it will be easier than drinking a glass of water,Iran's navy chief Habibollah Sayyari told Iran's English-language Press TV on Wednesday.But right now, we don't need to shut it ...,said Sayyari, who is leading 10 days of exercises in the Strait.Analysts say that Iran could potentially cause havoc in the Strait of Hormuz, a strip of water separating Oman and Iran, which connects the biggest Gulf oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. At its narrowest point, it is 21 miles across.But its navy would be no match for the firepower of the Fifth Fleet which consists of 20-plus ships supported by combat aircraft, with 15,000 people afloat and another 1,000 ashore.A spokesperson for the Fifth Fleet said in response to queries from Reuters that, it maintains a robust presence in the region to deter or counter destabilizing activities,without providing further details.
A British Foreign Office spokesman called the Iranian threat
rhetoric,saying:Iranian politicians regularly use this type of rhetoric to distract attention from the real issue, which is the nature of their nuclear program.
SANCTIONS
Tension has increased between Iran and the West after EU foreign ministers decided three weeks ago to tighten sanctions on the world's No. 5 crude exporter, but left open the idea of an embargo on Iranian oil.The West accuses Iran of seeking a nuclear bomb; Tehran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.The Iranian threat pushed up international oil prices on Tuesday although they slipped back on Wednesday in thin trade.The threat by Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz supported the oil market yesterday, but the effect is fading today as it will probably be empty threats as they cannot stop the flow for a longer period due to the amount of U.S. hardware in the area,said Thorbjoern bak Jensen, an oil analyst with Global Risk Management.The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important oil chokepoint,according to the U.S. Department of Energy. About 40 percent of all traded oil leaves the Gulf region through the strategic waterway.The State Department said there was an element of bluster in the threat, but underscored that the United States, whose warships patrol in the area, would support the free flow of oil.France urged Iran on Wednesday to adhere to international law that allows all ships freedom of transit in the Strait.Iran's international isolation over its defiant nuclear stance is hurting the country's oil-dependent economy, but Iranian officials have shown no sign of willingness to compromise.Iran dismisses the impact of sanctions, saying trade and other measures imposed since the 1979 Islamic revolution toppled the U.S.-backed shah have made the country stronger.
During a public speech in Iran's western province of Ilam on Wednesday, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad implied Tehran had no intention of changing course.We will not yield to pressure to abandon our rights ... The Iranian nation will not withdraw from its right (to nuclear technology) even one iota because of the pressures,said Ahmadinejad, whose firm nuclear stance has stoked many ordinary Iranians' sense of national dignity.Some Iranian oil officials have admitted that foreign sanctions were hurting the key energy sector that was in desperate need of foreign investment.
Though four rounds of the U.N. sanctions do not forbid the purchase of Iranian oil, many international oil firms and trading companies have stopped trading with Iran.
SHOWING THEIR TEETH
The United States and Israel have not ruled out military action if sanctions fail to rein in Iran's nuclear work.An Iranian analyst who declined to be named said the leadership could not reach a compromise with the West over its nuclear activities as it would harm its prestige among its core supporters.As a result, he said, Iranian officials are showing their teeth to prevent a military strike.But he added that closing the Strait of Hormuz would harm Iran's economy, undermining the Iranian leadership ahead of a parliamentary election in March.The election will be the first litmus test of the clerical establishment's popularity since the 2009 disputed presidential vote, that the opposition says was rigged to secure Ahmadinejad's re-election.The vote was followed by eight months of anti-government street protests and created a deepening political rift among the hardline rulers.With the opposition leaders under house arrest since February and the main reformist political parties banned since the vote, Iranian hardline rulers are concerned a low turnout would question the establishment's legitimacy.Frustration is simmering among lower- and middle-class Iranians over Ahmadinejad's economic policies. Prices of most consumer goods have risen substantially and many Iranians struggle to make ends meet.(Writing by Parisa Hafezi and Myra MacDonald; Editing by Alison Williams)
Gaza rockets hit Israel after overnight air strikes
AFPAFP – DEC 29,11
Palestinian militants fired two rockets at southern Israel on Thursday, after Israeli warplanes attacked terror sites inside the Gaza Strip, the army said.The first, which landed in an open field on Thursday morning, was claimed by the Popular Resistance Committees in a statement sent to AFP.A second fell during the afternoon, the military said, reporting no injuries or damage in either case.Overnight, Israeli warplanes targeted terror sites in central and northern Gaza in retaliation after rockets were fired across the border on Wednesday.Israeli air force aircraft targeted a terror activity site in the central Gaza Strip, and a terror tunnel in the northern Gaza Strip,a military statement said, indicating it was a response after five rockets landed in Israel, none of which caused any damage or injuries.
Palestinian security sources said the air strikes hit a training ground used by Islamic Jihad militants near central Gaza and another training ground northeast of Gaza which belonged to Hamas's armed wing, causing no casualties.An earlier series of Israeli strikes overnight Tuesday had killed a Palestinian and wounded about 20 others, as the military struck what it described as global jihad targets who were planning cross-border attacks on southern Israel from the Egyptian Sinai.Late on Wednesday, a senior Israeli officer said the military was preparing for a possible large-scale military campaign in Gaza if the Palestinians did not halt their rocket attacks.We are preparing and ready for an additional campaign... to renew the deterrence,Tal Hermoni, commander of the Gaza division's southern brigade, told reporters in remarks widely published in the Israeli press.Israel's last major operation against Gaza was Operation Cast Lead, a 22-day offensive launched on December 27, 2008 that cost the lives of 1,400 Palestinians -- at least half of them civilians -- and 13 Israelis, including 10 soldiers.

NKoreans salute, cry for late leader Kim Jong Il
AP – DEC 29,11
PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea prepared for another day of mourning Thursday for late leader Kim Jong Il after an emotionally charged funeral that left millions of people wailing in grief in a ceremony that cemented his youngest son as his successor.Kim Jong Un, the country's next leader, was head mourner Wednesday on a bitter, snowy day in Pyongyang, walking with one hand on the black hearse that carried his father's coffin on its roof, his other hand raised in salute, his head bowed against the wind.At the end of the 2 1/2-hour procession, rifles fired 21 times as Kim Jong Un stood flanked by the top party and military officials who are expected to be his inner circle of advisers. Kim then saluted again as goose-stepping soldiers carrying flags and rifles marched by.Although analysts say Kim Jong Un is on the path toward cementing his power and all moves in North Korea so far point in that direction — from titles giving him power over the ruling party and military and his leading position in the funeral procession — his age and inexperience leave questions about his long-term prospects. Whereas his father was groomed for power for 20 years before taking over, the younger Kim has had only about two years.
He also faces the huge challenges of running a country that struggles to feed its people even as it pursues a nuclear weapons program that has earned it international sanctions and condemnation.
Kim Jong Il — who led with absolute power after his father Kim Il Sung's death in 1994, through a famine that killed hundreds of thousands and the pursuit of nuclear and missile programs — died of a heart attack Dec. 17 at age 69.Mourners in parkas lined the streets of Pyongyang on Wednesday, waving, stamping and crying as the convoy bearing his coffin passed. Some struggled to get past security personnel holding back the crowd.How can the sky not cry? a weeping soldier standing in the snow said to state TV. The people ... are all crying tears of blood.Pyongyang's foreign diplomats were invited to attend the procession, though few other outsiders appeared to be allowed into the country for the funeral. One foreign diplomat in Pyongyang said funeral music played and people wept as the convoy left Kumsusan Memorial Palace, where Kim's body had lain in state, followed by a large number of vehicles and army jeeps. The diplomat, who asked not to be named because of the sensitive nature of the diplomat's work, said people put scarves and even jackets on the roads to try to stop the snow from causing problems on the route.North Korea's state media said millions of people packed the sides of the funeral route.The dramatic scenes of grief showed how effectively North Korea built a personality cult around Kim Jong Il despite chronic food shortages and decades of economic hardship.
A large challenge for North Korea's propaganda apparatus will be to counter the public's perception that the new leader is a spoiled child of privilege,said Brian Myers, an expert on North Korean propaganda at Dongseo University in Busan, South Korea.Having Kim Jong Un trudge mournfully next to the hearse in terrible weather was a very clever move, Myers said.Even as North Koreans mourned the loss of the second leader the nation has known, the transition of power to Kim Jong Un was well under way. The young man, who is in his late 20s, is already being hailed by state media as the supreme leader of the party, state and army.Kim wore a long, dark overcoat Wednesday as he strode alongside his father's hearse accompanied by top party officials behind him and key military leaders on the other side of the limousine — a lineup that offered a good look at who will be the core leadership in North Korea.North Korea now turns to Thursday's memorial ceremony. Although there will be tributes to Kim Jong Il, the country will be turning toward Kim Jong Un, analysts said.The message will be clear: Kim Jong Un now leads the country, and there is no alternative,said Kim Yeon-su, a North Korea expert at the state-run Korea National Defense University in South Korea.There will also be more attention paid to the inner circle forming around Kim Jong Un.
On Wednesday, he was accompanied by Jang Song Thaek, Kim Jong Il's brother-in-law and a vice chairman of the powerful National Defense Commission, who is expected to be crucial in helping Kim Jong Un take power.Also escorting the limousine were military chief Ri Yong Ho and People's Armed Forces Minster Kim Yong Chun. Their presence indicates they will be important players as the younger Kim consolidates his leadership. Top Workers' Party officials Choe Thae Bok and Kim Ki Nam and senior military officer Kim Jong Gak also took prominent positions.The early part of Wednesday's funeral ceremony was shrouded in secrecy, as in 1994, when Kim Il Sung died. Back then, Kim Jong Il and top officials held a private, hourlong ceremony inside the Kumsusan palace before the procession through the city, according to his official biography.After showing taped footage of mourners and documentaries of Kim Jong Il, state TV began airing the procession, showing cars moving slowly through the snowy city, led by a limousine carrying a huge portrait of a smiling Kim Jong Il.
Wednesday's procession had a stronger military presence than 1994.Kim Jong Il, who ushered in a military first era when he took power, celebrated major occasions with lavish, meticulously choreographed parades designed to show off the nation's military might, such as the October 2010 display when he introduced his son to the world.Kim Jong Un was made a four-star general and appointed a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the ruling Workers' Party last year.After the funeral, the young Kim is expected to solidify his power by formally assuming command of the 1.2 million-strong military, and becoming general secretary of the Workers' Party and chairman of the party's Central Military Commission, said Yoo Ho-yeol, a professor at Korea University in South Korea.Kim Jong Il's two other sons, Kim Jong Nam and Kim Jong Chol, were not spotted at Wednesday's procession.
China reveals its space plans up to 2016
Associated PressBy LOUISE WATT | AP – DEC 29,11
BEIJING (AP) — China plans to launch space labs and manned ships and prepare to build space stations over the next five years, according to a plan released Thursday that shows the country's space program is gathering momentum.China has already said its eventual goals are to have a space station and put an astronaut on the moon. It has made methodical progress with its ambitious lunar and human spaceflight programs, but its latest five-year plan beginning next year signals an acceleration.
By the end of 2016, China will launch space laboratories, manned spaceship and ship freighters, and make technological preparations for the construction of space stations, according to the white paper setting out China's space progress and future missions.China's space program has already made major breakthroughs in a relatively short time, although it lags far behind the United States and Russia in space technology and experience.The country will continue exploring the moon using probes, start gathering samples of the moon's surface, and push forward its exploration of planets, asteroids and the sun.It will use spacecraft to study the properties of black holes and begin monitoring space debris and small near-Earth celestial bodies and build a system to protect spacecraft from debris.The paper also says China will improve its launch vehicles, improve its communications, broadcasting and meteorological satellites and develop a global satellite navigation system, intended to rival the United States' dominant global positioning system (GPS) network.China places great emphasis on the development of its space industry, which is seen as a symbol of national prestige.Its space principles — including peaceful development, enhancing international cooperation and deep space exploration — are largely unchanged from its previous two documents detailing the progress of China's space missions, released in 2000 and 2006.In 2003, China became the third country behind the U.S. and Russia to launch a man into space and, five years later, completed a spacewalk. Toward the end of this year, it demonstrated automated docking between its Shenzhou 8 craft and the Tiangong 1 module, which will form part of a future space laboratory.In 2007, it launched its first lunar probe, Chang'e-1, which orbited the moon, collecting data and a complete map of the moon.Since 2006, China's Long March rockets have successfully launched 67 times, sending 79 spacecraft into orbit.Some elements of China's program, notably the firing of a ground-based missile into one of its dead satellites four years ago, have alarmed American officials and others who say such moves could set off a race to militarize space. That the program is run by the military has made the U.S. reluctant to cooperate with China in space, even though the latter insists its program is purely for peaceful ends.
China always adheres to the use of outer space for peaceful purposes, and opposes weaponization or any arms race in outer space,Thursday's white paper states.The Chinese government's policy is to reinforce space cooperation with developing countries and value space cooperation with developed countries. The paper lists cooperation between China and countries including Russia, Brazil, France and Britain, and says of the United States: NASA's director visited China and the two sides will continue to make dialogue regarding the space field.
Bailing Out European Banks: Bernanke and Fed Deceived Congress Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com December 29, 2011
Earlier this month, Federal Reserve boss Ben Bernanke told senators the cartel has no intention of bailing out European banks. Bernanke told lawmakers that he doesn’t have the intention or the authority to bail out countries or banks.Former Fed official Gerald O’Driscoll says Federal Reserve is covertly bailing out Europe.Now we learn that the Fed is indeed in the business of bailing out European banks. It is secretly using a temporary U.S. dollar liquidity swap arrangement with the ECB and the central banks of Canada, England, Switzerland and Japan.The Fed’s latest actions in cooperating with foreign central banks to undertake liquidity swaps of dollars for foreign currencies is another reason why Congress needs enhanced power to oversee and audit the Fed,writes Ron Paul. Under current law Congress cannot examine these types of agreements. Those who would argue that auditing the Fed or these agreements with central banks harms the Fed’s independence should reevaluate the Fed’s supposed independence when the Fed bails out Europe so soon after President Obama promised US assistance in resolving the Euro crisis.
The Fed has a reputation for secrecy. Bloomberg News sued the cartel to obtain information on its emergency programs during the 2007 to 2009 financial crisis. Bloomberg, however, excluded foreign-currency liquidity swaps because names of commercial banks that borrowed under the program were disclosed to the public.The latest action by the Fed reveals that fiat money created out of thin air is the problem. Fiat money caused this European crisis and the financial crisis before it. More fiat money is not the cure. The global fiat currency system has proven itself a failure, we need real monetary reform. We need sound money,Ron Paul concludes.Bernanke refuses to tell the American people where the money went:

Ireland plans referendum body to prepare for possible EU treaty poll 28.12.11 @ 08:33 By Honor Mahony
BRUSSELS - Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny has said he intends to establish a permanent referendum commission so that the public is fully prepared for a possible poll on the fiscal discipline treaty currently being drawn up by member states.I cannot give you an indication now as to whether there will actually be a referendum in respect of the inter-governmental agreement from the European business until the text is finalised and we get the advice of the attorney general,said Kenny on Tuesday (28 December), according to PA.What I am going to do though is set up the Referendum Commission on a much more permanent basis so that the commission will be able to reflect in readiness as to what is actually going to happen.Referendum commissions are set up ahead of each referendum in Ireland to give neutral information on the topic being put to vote.EU leaders, with the exception of Britain, agreed earlier this month to tighten up fiscal and budgetary surveillance in the eurozone in the form of an inter-governmental pact.With the 17 eurozone states under pressure to agree the text as soon as possible, Ireland is already in the spotlight for the possible problems it might have with ratification.
Attorney general Marie Whelan is examining the details of the agreement - a draft of which was circulated on 16 December - to see if they imply a change to Ireland's constitution through more powers being handed over to the EU level. This would require a referendum.Ireland is feeling the pressure after having seen the last two EU treaties - the Nice and Lisbon Treaty - rejected by voters. Subsequent referendums saw both treaties then accepted.But the governments at the time came under fierce criticism, particularly in the case of the Lisbon Treaty, for being too complacent about the result in the run-up to the first referendum and and letting critics of the treaty frame the debate.This time round, the current government also has to contend with the fact that a potential referendum would take place as the Irish continue to endure swingeing austerity measures, put in place in return for an EU-IMF bailout in 2010.The Irish government, gloomy about the prospect of a Yes vote under such conditions, has rejected a call by the opposition to hold a referendum on the treaty regardless of whether one is legally required.You don’t go holding a referendum unless you have to and clearly the advice of the attorney general is what the government will act on as we’ve always done,said Kenny, according to the Irish Times.Meanwhile, Ireland's EU partners have already anticipated its potential ratification problems.The treaty draft circulated earlier this month suggested that the agreement will enter into force once nine countries have ratified it - although it is thought that Berlin may want to raise this threshold to ensure as many eurozone states are on board as possible.
Bosnian factions form government in hope of EU candidate status Today DEC 29,11 @ 09:00 By Leigh Phillips
BRUSSELS - Bosnia’s feuding political factions have backed a new administration for the ethnically divided state, breaking an impasse that has lasted more than a year.
Political leaders from all sides hope that the development will ease the country’s path to EU accession candidate status in the new year.A close election result in 2010 produced a Belgium-like political stalemate that only on Wednesday after hours of talks was resolved when Bosnia’s Muslim, Serb and Croat leaders agreed to a deal endorsing a budget for 2011 and a financial framework for the next two years.For the past 12 months, government bodies have been financed via ad hoc funding mechanisms.
The deal will also see a Bosnia Croat, Dragan Covic, take up the premiership of the state and a Bosnian Muslim in the post of foreign minister.The agreement will also see the new government oversee a fresh census - long a political hot potato in the region - and new laws on the distribution of public funds, both of which were moves Brussels demanded ahead of giving the green light to status as a candidate for membership of the EU.Both the EU and the United States have applied heavy pressure to political groups to achieve consensus, with the International Monetary Fund and Brussels withholding $100 million in aid as a result of the deadlock.Political leaders hope that the agreement will see both a release of the much-needed funds and a strong signal from the EU that Sarajevo may one day join the bloc.It is important that we reached a political agreement,said Milorad Dodik, leader of the Bosnian Serbs, so that Bosnia can apply for candidate status of the European Union.
France to hold jobs summit as unemployment hits 12-year high Today DEC 29,11 @ 09:09 By Honor Mahony
BRUSSELS - A sharp rise in France's unemployment figures is putting pressure on President Nicolas Sarkozy to deliver, with over half the French population wanting the candidates for the spring presidential election to focus their energies on maintaining jobs.Figures released by the labour ministry this week show that the number of those unemployed hit 2.85 million in November, a 12-year high and the seventh consecutive monthly increase.The numbers have sparked a debate in France about the nature and future of employment with Sarkozy convening a jobs summit on 18 January.The discussion has mainly focussed on part-time work and reducing hours and salaries instead of losing jobs, a proposal that has to be agreed with the unions.
Employment minister Xavier Bertrand said the January summit would see solutions that could be applied rapidly in order to contain the effects of the crisis to the maximum.France's joblessness plight has once again highlighted the difference between the strength of its economy in comparison with neighbouring Germany - a fact that has increasingly put the Franco-German relationship out of kilter.Germany's falling unemployment was acknowledged by Bertrand: Only Germany today is seeing its unemployment recede because they carried out profound reforms of the jobs market starting ten years ago and lasting ten years. We undertook (reforms) only a few years ago. That is the difference.
The news of the summit comes as figures show that de-industrialisation in France has accelarated since the start of the crisis in 2008.According to Les Echos, the French financial daily, almost 900 factories have been closed since 2008. Of these, 400 were closed in 2009, the year the crisis hit the hardest, while 200 were closed in 2011.The effect on employment has been huge. Over the last three years, some 100,000 jobs in the industrial sector have been lost.Unemployment as an issue is a number-one priority on French voters' minds. According to a poll in La Croix newspaper, 52 percent of French people want the candidates for the April presidential elections to focus on responses that maintain employment.However, 72 of the respondents believe that presidential campaign so far is bringing response that are far from their concerns.Of the main candidates in the running, socialist contender Francois Hollande is seen as proposing the best solutions to the daily problems of French citizens by 24 percent of those polled. Sarkozy comes in second with 20 percent and far-right politician Marine Le Pen in third place (16%).While all candidates will focus on combatting unemployment and there are set to be many proposals for economic growth, their hands will be tied by France's commitment to reduce its high budget deficit, as part of an overall plan to contain the eurozone debt crisis.
IMF approves new $46.3 million loan for Mali
ReutersBy JoAnne Allen | Reuters – Wed, Dec 28, 2011
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund on Tuesday approved a new $46.3 million loan program for Mali and approved an immediate disbursement of $9.3 million.The loan arrangement was made under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) in support of the country's strategy to increase growth and reduce poverty, the IMF said in a statement.The economic outlook for Mali is favorable, but subject to downside risks because the country's agricultural sector remains highly vulnerable to adverse weather conditions, the IMF said.Mali, a largely desert country, is Africa's third-largest gold miner. The country economy was hard hit by conflicts in Ivory Coast and Libya this year.

Syrian forces kill 11 protesters, monitors reach 2 cities ReutersBy Mariam Karouny and Erika Solomon | Reuters – DEC 29,11
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian security forces fired on anti-government protests and killed 11 people on Thursday, as Arab League peace monitors arrived in two more cities to check on compliance with a plan to end bloodshed.Killings were reported at rallies in towns across Syria, including four in Hama shortly after a monitoring team arrived. Two more people were shot in Idlib, another monitors' destination, as they passed a security checkpoint.The cities to be visited on Thursday - Deraa, Hama and Idlib - lie along a 450-km (280-mile) arc of revolt from the south to the north of Syria. At its midpoint is Homs, where the monitors' second day had a controversial start when its Sudanese chief reported seeing nothing frightening in an initial tour.The Arab mission is the first notable international involvement in Syria's conflict, in which thousands have been killed in a military crackdown on the uprising against 41 years of rule by the family of President Bashar al-Assad.But questions have arisen about the monitors' credibility as their movements appear to be restricted.Syrian state television reported that monitors had arrived in Hama and Deraa.Shortly before, anti-Assad activists said they had seen no sign of monitors on the streets by mid-afternoon and they were unable to contact them by telephone. Extra security forces were deployed around restive areas expecting monitors, they said.Where are they? We worked very hard for this visit, we got witnesses and documented deaths and sites of shelling. People wanted to march but the monitors are missing. The security presence is really strong - it looks like they have been preparing as much as we have,said activist Odei in Idlib.
In Hama, activists said protesters went down into the streets in Hama to await the Arab League delegation, amid heavy security with snipers pointing guns out of top floor windows.People really hope to reach (the monitors). We do not have much access to the team. The people stopped believing anything or anyone now. Only God can help us now, said Abu Hisham, an opposition activist in Hama.Hama has a haunting resonance to Syrians opposed to Assad because up to 30,000 people were massacred there in 1982 when his father, president at the time, had armed forces raze part of the city to the ground to crush an Islamist uprising.Residents in the Harasta suburb of the capital Damascus said they had spotted cars with an Arab League logo. If the monitors were indeed there, it would be their first surprise visit.A source in the Arab League mission's operations centre in Cairo said earlier on Thursday there had been a problem with communications but the monitors' schedule was holding up.We have contacted our teams ... Today's plan will not be changed and the only problem we faced today was the bad phone network, which made our communication with the monitors harder. It took more time to reach them and determine their locations.
WHERE WERE THEY?
Unless it can establish its credibility by proving it has unobstructed access to all areas and is able to hear uncensored accounts, the Arab League mission may not be able to satisfy all sides that it can make an objective assessment of the crisis.The United Nations estimates that at least 5,000 people, mostly civilian protesters, have been killed in nine months of unrest that Assad has sought to stamp out with tanks and troops storming into restive cities and towns.Fifteen people died on the monitors' first day and activists, fearing the Arab League team will be ineffective, say they expect the bloodshed to continue until observers leave.Assad says he is combating Islamist militants steered from abroad. He says over 2,000 security force men have been killed.Syria's upheaval continues a series of popular Arab uprisings that have toppled three dictators this year.In Homs, Syria's third largest city and epicenter of anti-Assad ferment, protesters said they were already fed up with the monitors who they said seemed unsympathetic and were hard to find even when touring their neighborhoods.This mission is a big lie. They say they were in Khalidiya neighborhood. I haven't seen them, said Tamir, shouting by telephone over protester chants of down with the regime.We've been here at the protest. Where were they? The head of the main opposition group in exile, The Syrian National Council, met with Arab League officials in Cairo to discuss the monitoring mission.The delegation should have been bigger because the points of confrontation and violence are much greater than the number of the monitors, and they should have better logistical means to enable them to move quicker,Burhan Ghalioun told reporters.
Some 150 monitors in all are expected to enter Syria by the end of the week. But activists say Syrian government or security officials escorting monitors can intimidate residents in protest hotbed areas and that there are not enough monitors to see the full scope of unrest in a large country of 23 million people.Burhan Ghalioun blamed Assad's government for the monitors' restrictive conditions: Until now the Syrian regime has not changed its style of lies and tricks,he said.The mission chief himself, Sudanese General Mustafa al-Dabi, raised international concern for the team's credibility when he said he had seen nothing frightening on a very brief initial trip to Homs on Tuesday.This was only the first day and it will need investigation. We have 20 people who will be there for a long time,he said.
BUDDING INSURRECTION
Relentless military attacks on protests have also bred armed insurgency and thousands of rebels and army defectors have formed the Free Syrian Army (FSA) to attack military and police convoys, bases and checkpoints.A gritty video shot by rebels in Deraa showed the ambush of a security forces convoy on Wednesday by nine gunmen who opened fire from a rootfop. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said four soldiers were killed in the attack by the FSA.Syria resisted outside involvement for months but yielded to unprecedented pressure from fellow members of the 22-state Arab League last month, agreeing to let the monitors in to witness withdrawals of forces from turbulent cities.If the mission cannot credibly certify to the world that Assad is reining in his forces with a genuine will to negotiate reform with his opponents, the U.S. State Department has said other means of international action will be pursued.(Additional reporting by Ayman Samir and Yasmine Saleh in Cairo and Suleiman al-Khalidi in Amman; Writing by Douglas Hamilton and Erika Solomon; Editing by Mark Heinrich)
Russia slams US for its human rights record
Associated PressAP – DEC 29,11
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's Foreign Ministry has attacked America's human rights record in its first report on injustice elsewhere in the world, offering examples such as the Guantanamo Bay prison and wrongful death row convictions to paint the U.S. as hypocritical for lecturing other nations on the subject of rights.The situation in the United States is a far cry from the ideals that Washington proclaims, says the report released Wednesday.Moscow has previously reacted angrily to the accusations of human rights breaches that the U.S. State Department has leveled at Russia in its annual reports. The State Department has expressed concern about the violent attacks on rights activists and journalists in Russia, most of which go unpunished. It also has criticized abuses in Russia's Caucasus, including extrajudicial killings, kidnappings and torture.The 90-page Russian report slams EU nations, Canada and Georgia, but reserves its longest section of 20 pages for what it says are violations by the United States. The report does not cover Asia, Africa or the Middle East, other than a five-page section criticizing the NATO operation in Libya.
Moscow laments the ongoing operation of the notorious prison in Guantanamo Bay, where terrorism suspects have been held since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, and criticizes President Barack Obama for legalizing indefinite and extrajudicial custody and the return of court martials.The report accuses the U.S. of prying into citizens' personal lives and violating the rights of Muslim Americans in the fight against terrorism. It also points to errors made by American courts.Judicial errors are the Achilles heel of American justice as concerns capital punishment, the report argues. It notes the roughly 130 people sentenced to death in the past 30 years who were later cleared of the charges, some after they were executed.The Foreign Ministry also struck back at international criticism of Russia's recent parliamentary election, which independent observers said involved widespread fraud. Outrage over the vote set off a spate of protests led by citizens unhappy with Vladimir Putin's rule.The report accuses the U.S. of blocking independent candidates from elections and criticizes the practice of allowing governors to nominate senators when a Senate seat is vacated, as when Obama became president. It refers to the conviction this year of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was accused of trying to auction off Obama's Senate seat.
The State Department is reviewing the Russian report, spokesman Mark Toner said. He said such reports can be a useful mechanism provided that they are produced using objective methodology.We certainly don't regard it as interference in our internal affairs when foreign governments, individuals or organizations comment on or criticize U.S. human rights practices,he said, adding later,In terms of our human rights record, we're an open book.
Iran warns of closing strategic Hormuz oil route
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI | AP – DEC 29,11
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's navy chief warned Wednesday that his country can easily close the strategic Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the passageway through which a sixth of the world's oil flows.It was the second such warning in two days. On Tuesday, Vice President Mohamed Reza Rahimi threatened to close the strait, cutting off oil exports, if the West imposes sanctions on Iran's oil shipments.In response, the Bahrain-based U.S. 5th Fleet's spokeswoman warned that any disruption will not be tolerated. The spokeswoman, Lt. Rebecca Rebarich, said the U.S. Navy is always ready to counter malevolent actions to ensure freedom of navigation.With concern growing over a possible drop-off in Iranian oil supplies, a senior Saudi oil official said Gulf Arab nations are ready to offset any loss of Iranian crude.That reassurance led to a drop in world oil prices. In New York, benchmark crude fell 77 cents to $100.57 a barrel in morning trading. Brent crude fell 82 cents to $108.45 a barrel in London.Closing the Strait of Hormuz is very easy for Iranian naval forces, Adm. Habibollah Sayyari told state-run Press TV. Iran has comprehensive control over the strategic waterway,the navy chief said.The threats underline Iranian concern that the West is about to impose new sanctions that could target Tehran's vital oil industry and exports.
Western nations are growing increasingly impatient with Iran over its nuclear program. The U.S. and its allies have accused Iran of using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to develop nuclear weapons. Iran has denied the charges, saying its program is geared toward generating electricity and producing medical radioisotopes to treat cancer patients.The U.S. Congress has passed a bill banning dealings with the Iran Central Bank, and President Barack Obama has said he will sign it despite his misgivings. Critics warn it could impose hardships on U.S. allies and drive up oil prices.The bill could impose penalties on foreign firms that do business with Iran's central bank. European and Asian nations import Iranian oil and use its central bank for the transactions.Iran is the world's fourth-largest oil producer, with an output of about 4 million barrels of oil a day. It relies on oil exports for about 80 percent of its public revenues.Iran has adopted an aggressive military posture in recent months in response to increasing threats from the U.S. and Israel that they may take military action to stop Iran's nuclear program.The navy is in the midst of a 10-day drill in international waters near the strategic oil route. The exercises began Saturday and involve submarines, missile drills, torpedoes and drones. The war games cover a 1,250-mile (2,000-kilometer) stretch of sea off the Strait of Hormuz, northern parts of the Indian Ocean and into the Gulf of Aden near the entrance to the Red Sea as a show of strength and could bring Iranian ships into proximity with U.S. Navy vessels in the area.
Iranian media are describing how Iran could move to close the strait, saying the country would use a combination of warships, submarines, speed boats, anti-ship cruise missiles, torpedoes, surface-to-sea missiles and drones to stop ships from sailing through the narrow waterway.Iran's navy claims it has sonar-evading submarines designed for shallow waters of the Persian Gulf, enabling it to hit passing enemy vessels.A closure of the strait could temporarily cut off some oil supplies and force shippers to take longer, more expensive routes that would drive oil prices higher. It also potentially opens the door for a military confrontation that would further rattle global oil markets.Iran claimed a victory this month when it captured an American surveillance drone almost intact. It went public with its possession of the RQ-170 Sentinel to trumpet the downing as a feat of Iran's military in a complicated technological and intelligence battle with the U.S.American officials have said that U.S. intelligence assessments indicate the drone malfunctioned.Additional reporting from Adam Schreck in Dubai, UAE.
U.S. Fifth Fleet says won't allow Hormuz disruption
ReutersBy Parisa Hafezi and Humeyra Pamuk | Reuters – DEC 29,11
TEHRAN/DUBAI (Reuters) - The U.S. Fifth Fleet said on Wednesday it would not allow any disruption of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, after Iran threatened to stop ships moving through the world's most important oil route.Anyone who threatens to disrupt freedom of navigation in an international strait is clearly outside the community of nations; any disruption will not be tolerated,the Bahrain-based fleet said in an e-mail.Iran, at loggerheads with the West over its nuclear program, said on Tuesday it would stop the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf if sanctions were imposed on its crude exports.Closing the Strait of Hormuz for Iran's armed forces is really easy ... or as Iranians say, it will be easier than drinking a glass of water,Iran's navy chief Habibollah Sayyari told Iran's English-language Press TV on Wednesday.But right now, we don't need to shut it ...,said Sayyari, who is leading 10 days of exercises in the Strait.Analysts say that Iran could potentially cause havoc in the Strait of Hormuz, a strip of water separating Oman and Iran, which connects the biggest Gulf oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. At its narrowest point, it is 21 miles across.But its navy would be no match for the firepower of the Fifth Fleet which consists of 20-plus ships supported by combat aircraft, with 15,000 people afloat and another 1,000 ashore.A spokesperson for the Fifth Fleet said in response to queries from Reuters that, it maintains a robust presence in the region to deter or counter destabilizing activities,without providing further details.
A British Foreign Office spokesman called the Iranian threat
rhetoric,saying:Iranian politicians regularly use this type of rhetoric to distract attention from the real issue, which is the nature of their nuclear program.
SANCTIONS
Tension has increased between Iran and the West after EU foreign ministers decided three weeks ago to tighten sanctions on the world's No. 5 crude exporter, but left open the idea of an embargo on Iranian oil.The West accuses Iran of seeking a nuclear bomb; Tehran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.The Iranian threat pushed up international oil prices on Tuesday although they slipped back on Wednesday in thin trade.The threat by Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz supported the oil market yesterday, but the effect is fading today as it will probably be empty threats as they cannot stop the flow for a longer period due to the amount of U.S. hardware in the area,said Thorbjoern bak Jensen, an oil analyst with Global Risk Management.The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important oil chokepoint,according to the U.S. Department of Energy. About 40 percent of all traded oil leaves the Gulf region through the strategic waterway.The State Department said there was an element of bluster in the threat, but underscored that the United States, whose warships patrol in the area, would support the free flow of oil.France urged Iran on Wednesday to adhere to international law that allows all ships freedom of transit in the Strait.Iran's international isolation over its defiant nuclear stance is hurting the country's oil-dependent economy, but Iranian officials have shown no sign of willingness to compromise.Iran dismisses the impact of sanctions, saying trade and other measures imposed since the 1979 Islamic revolution toppled the U.S.-backed shah have made the country stronger.
During a public speech in Iran's western province of Ilam on Wednesday, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad implied Tehran had no intention of changing course.We will not yield to pressure to abandon our rights ... The Iranian nation will not withdraw from its right (to nuclear technology) even one iota because of the pressures,said Ahmadinejad, whose firm nuclear stance has stoked many ordinary Iranians' sense of national dignity.Some Iranian oil officials have admitted that foreign sanctions were hurting the key energy sector that was in desperate need of foreign investment.
Though four rounds of the U.N. sanctions do not forbid the purchase of Iranian oil, many international oil firms and trading companies have stopped trading with Iran.
SHOWING THEIR TEETH
The United States and Israel have not ruled out military action if sanctions fail to rein in Iran's nuclear work.An Iranian analyst who declined to be named said the leadership could not reach a compromise with the West over its nuclear activities as it would harm its prestige among its core supporters.As a result, he said, Iranian officials are showing their teeth to prevent a military strike.But he added that closing the Strait of Hormuz would harm Iran's economy, undermining the Iranian leadership ahead of a parliamentary election in March.The election will be the first litmus test of the clerical establishment's popularity since the 2009 disputed presidential vote, that the opposition says was rigged to secure Ahmadinejad's re-election.The vote was followed by eight months of anti-government street protests and created a deepening political rift among the hardline rulers.With the opposition leaders under house arrest since February and the main reformist political parties banned since the vote, Iranian hardline rulers are concerned a low turnout would question the establishment's legitimacy.Frustration is simmering among lower- and middle-class Iranians over Ahmadinejad's economic policies. Prices of most consumer goods have risen substantially and many Iranians struggle to make ends meet.(Writing by Parisa Hafezi and Myra MacDonald; Editing by Alison Williams)
Gaza rockets hit Israel after overnight air strikes
AFPAFP – DEC 29,11
Palestinian militants fired two rockets at southern Israel on Thursday, after Israeli warplanes attacked terror sites inside the Gaza Strip, the army said.The first, which landed in an open field on Thursday morning, was claimed by the Popular Resistance Committees in a statement sent to AFP.A second fell during the afternoon, the military said, reporting no injuries or damage in either case.Overnight, Israeli warplanes targeted terror sites in central and northern Gaza in retaliation after rockets were fired across the border on Wednesday.Israeli air force aircraft targeted a terror activity site in the central Gaza Strip, and a terror tunnel in the northern Gaza Strip,a military statement said, indicating it was a response after five rockets landed in Israel, none of which caused any damage or injuries.
Palestinian security sources said the air strikes hit a training ground used by Islamic Jihad militants near central Gaza and another training ground northeast of Gaza which belonged to Hamas's armed wing, causing no casualties.An earlier series of Israeli strikes overnight Tuesday had killed a Palestinian and wounded about 20 others, as the military struck what it described as global jihad targets who were planning cross-border attacks on southern Israel from the Egyptian Sinai.Late on Wednesday, a senior Israeli officer said the military was preparing for a possible large-scale military campaign in Gaza if the Palestinians did not halt their rocket attacks.We are preparing and ready for an additional campaign... to renew the deterrence,Tal Hermoni, commander of the Gaza division's southern brigade, told reporters in remarks widely published in the Israeli press.Israel's last major operation against Gaza was Operation Cast Lead, a 22-day offensive launched on December 27, 2008 that cost the lives of 1,400 Palestinians -- at least half of them civilians -- and 13 Israelis, including 10 soldiers.

NKoreans salute, cry for late leader Kim Jong Il
AP – DEC 29,11
PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea prepared for another day of mourning Thursday for late leader Kim Jong Il after an emotionally charged funeral that left millions of people wailing in grief in a ceremony that cemented his youngest son as his successor.Kim Jong Un, the country's next leader, was head mourner Wednesday on a bitter, snowy day in Pyongyang, walking with one hand on the black hearse that carried his father's coffin on its roof, his other hand raised in salute, his head bowed against the wind.At the end of the 2 1/2-hour procession, rifles fired 21 times as Kim Jong Un stood flanked by the top party and military officials who are expected to be his inner circle of advisers. Kim then saluted again as goose-stepping soldiers carrying flags and rifles marched by.Although analysts say Kim Jong Un is on the path toward cementing his power and all moves in North Korea so far point in that direction — from titles giving him power over the ruling party and military and his leading position in the funeral procession — his age and inexperience leave questions about his long-term prospects. Whereas his father was groomed for power for 20 years before taking over, the younger Kim has had only about two years.
He also faces the huge challenges of running a country that struggles to feed its people even as it pursues a nuclear weapons program that has earned it international sanctions and condemnation.
Kim Jong Il — who led with absolute power after his father Kim Il Sung's death in 1994, through a famine that killed hundreds of thousands and the pursuit of nuclear and missile programs — died of a heart attack Dec. 17 at age 69.Mourners in parkas lined the streets of Pyongyang on Wednesday, waving, stamping and crying as the convoy bearing his coffin passed. Some struggled to get past security personnel holding back the crowd.How can the sky not cry? a weeping soldier standing in the snow said to state TV. The people ... are all crying tears of blood.Pyongyang's foreign diplomats were invited to attend the procession, though few other outsiders appeared to be allowed into the country for the funeral. One foreign diplomat in Pyongyang said funeral music played and people wept as the convoy left Kumsusan Memorial Palace, where Kim's body had lain in state, followed by a large number of vehicles and army jeeps. The diplomat, who asked not to be named because of the sensitive nature of the diplomat's work, said people put scarves and even jackets on the roads to try to stop the snow from causing problems on the route.North Korea's state media said millions of people packed the sides of the funeral route.The dramatic scenes of grief showed how effectively North Korea built a personality cult around Kim Jong Il despite chronic food shortages and decades of economic hardship.
A large challenge for North Korea's propaganda apparatus will be to counter the public's perception that the new leader is a spoiled child of privilege,said Brian Myers, an expert on North Korean propaganda at Dongseo University in Busan, South Korea.Having Kim Jong Un trudge mournfully next to the hearse in terrible weather was a very clever move, Myers said.Even as North Koreans mourned the loss of the second leader the nation has known, the transition of power to Kim Jong Un was well under way. The young man, who is in his late 20s, is already being hailed by state media as the supreme leader of the party, state and army.Kim wore a long, dark overcoat Wednesday as he strode alongside his father's hearse accompanied by top party officials behind him and key military leaders on the other side of the limousine — a lineup that offered a good look at who will be the core leadership in North Korea.North Korea now turns to Thursday's memorial ceremony. Although there will be tributes to Kim Jong Il, the country will be turning toward Kim Jong Un, analysts said.The message will be clear: Kim Jong Un now leads the country, and there is no alternative,said Kim Yeon-su, a North Korea expert at the state-run Korea National Defense University in South Korea.There will also be more attention paid to the inner circle forming around Kim Jong Un.
On Wednesday, he was accompanied by Jang Song Thaek, Kim Jong Il's brother-in-law and a vice chairman of the powerful National Defense Commission, who is expected to be crucial in helping Kim Jong Un take power.Also escorting the limousine were military chief Ri Yong Ho and People's Armed Forces Minster Kim Yong Chun. Their presence indicates they will be important players as the younger Kim consolidates his leadership. Top Workers' Party officials Choe Thae Bok and Kim Ki Nam and senior military officer Kim Jong Gak also took prominent positions.The early part of Wednesday's funeral ceremony was shrouded in secrecy, as in 1994, when Kim Il Sung died. Back then, Kim Jong Il and top officials held a private, hourlong ceremony inside the Kumsusan palace before the procession through the city, according to his official biography.After showing taped footage of mourners and documentaries of Kim Jong Il, state TV began airing the procession, showing cars moving slowly through the snowy city, led by a limousine carrying a huge portrait of a smiling Kim Jong Il.
Wednesday's procession had a stronger military presence than 1994.Kim Jong Il, who ushered in a military first era when he took power, celebrated major occasions with lavish, meticulously choreographed parades designed to show off the nation's military might, such as the October 2010 display when he introduced his son to the world.Kim Jong Un was made a four-star general and appointed a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the ruling Workers' Party last year.After the funeral, the young Kim is expected to solidify his power by formally assuming command of the 1.2 million-strong military, and becoming general secretary of the Workers' Party and chairman of the party's Central Military Commission, said Yoo Ho-yeol, a professor at Korea University in South Korea.Kim Jong Il's two other sons, Kim Jong Nam and Kim Jong Chol, were not spotted at Wednesday's procession.
China reveals its space plans up to 2016
Associated PressBy LOUISE WATT | AP – DEC 29,11
BEIJING (AP) — China plans to launch space labs and manned ships and prepare to build space stations over the next five years, according to a plan released Thursday that shows the country's space program is gathering momentum.China has already said its eventual goals are to have a space station and put an astronaut on the moon. It has made methodical progress with its ambitious lunar and human spaceflight programs, but its latest five-year plan beginning next year signals an acceleration.
By the end of 2016, China will launch space laboratories, manned spaceship and ship freighters, and make technological preparations for the construction of space stations, according to the white paper setting out China's space progress and future missions.China's space program has already made major breakthroughs in a relatively short time, although it lags far behind the United States and Russia in space technology and experience.The country will continue exploring the moon using probes, start gathering samples of the moon's surface, and push forward its exploration of planets, asteroids and the sun.It will use spacecraft to study the properties of black holes and begin monitoring space debris and small near-Earth celestial bodies and build a system to protect spacecraft from debris.The paper also says China will improve its launch vehicles, improve its communications, broadcasting and meteorological satellites and develop a global satellite navigation system, intended to rival the United States' dominant global positioning system (GPS) network.China places great emphasis on the development of its space industry, which is seen as a symbol of national prestige.Its space principles — including peaceful development, enhancing international cooperation and deep space exploration — are largely unchanged from its previous two documents detailing the progress of China's space missions, released in 2000 and 2006.In 2003, China became the third country behind the U.S. and Russia to launch a man into space and, five years later, completed a spacewalk. Toward the end of this year, it demonstrated automated docking between its Shenzhou 8 craft and the Tiangong 1 module, which will form part of a future space laboratory.In 2007, it launched its first lunar probe, Chang'e-1, which orbited the moon, collecting data and a complete map of the moon.Since 2006, China's Long March rockets have successfully launched 67 times, sending 79 spacecraft into orbit.Some elements of China's program, notably the firing of a ground-based missile into one of its dead satellites four years ago, have alarmed American officials and others who say such moves could set off a race to militarize space. That the program is run by the military has made the U.S. reluctant to cooperate with China in space, even though the latter insists its program is purely for peaceful ends.
China always adheres to the use of outer space for peaceful purposes, and opposes weaponization or any arms race in outer space,Thursday's white paper states.The Chinese government's policy is to reinforce space cooperation with developing countries and value space cooperation with developed countries. The paper lists cooperation between China and countries including Russia, Brazil, France and Britain, and says of the United States: NASA's director visited China and the two sides will continue to make dialogue regarding the space field.
Bailing Out European Banks: Bernanke and Fed Deceived Congress Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com December 29, 2011
Earlier this month, Federal Reserve boss Ben Bernanke told senators the cartel has no intention of bailing out European banks. Bernanke told lawmakers that he doesn’t have the intention or the authority to bail out countries or banks.Former Fed official Gerald O’Driscoll says Federal Reserve is covertly bailing out Europe.Now we learn that the Fed is indeed in the business of bailing out European banks. It is secretly using a temporary U.S. dollar liquidity swap arrangement with the ECB and the central banks of Canada, England, Switzerland and Japan.The Fed’s latest actions in cooperating with foreign central banks to undertake liquidity swaps of dollars for foreign currencies is another reason why Congress needs enhanced power to oversee and audit the Fed,writes Ron Paul. Under current law Congress cannot examine these types of agreements. Those who would argue that auditing the Fed or these agreements with central banks harms the Fed’s independence should reevaluate the Fed’s supposed independence when the Fed bails out Europe so soon after President Obama promised US assistance in resolving the Euro crisis.
The Fed has a reputation for secrecy. Bloomberg News sued the cartel to obtain information on its emergency programs during the 2007 to 2009 financial crisis. Bloomberg, however, excluded foreign-currency liquidity swaps because names of commercial banks that borrowed under the program were disclosed to the public.The latest action by the Fed reveals that fiat money created out of thin air is the problem. Fiat money caused this European crisis and the financial crisis before it. More fiat money is not the cure. The global fiat currency system has proven itself a failure, we need real monetary reform. We need sound money,Ron Paul concludes.Bernanke refuses to tell the American people where the money went:
