U.N TO CRASH ECONOMY FOR THE GOOD OF THE EARTH

DANIEL 7:23-24
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast(THE EU,REVIVED ROME) shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,(7TH WORLD EMPIRE) which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.(TRADE BLOCKS)
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise:(10 NATIONS-10 WORLD REGIONS) and another shall rise after them;(#11 SPAIN) and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.(BE HEAD OF 3 KINGS OR NATIONS).

Kroes threatens nuclear option against Hungary
09.02.12 @ 19:55 By Nikolaj Nielsen

BRUSSELS - The European Commission has indicated it is ready to use its nuclear option - Article 7 on political sanctions - against Hungary if it continues to flout EU law.In a testy exchange of views between EU digital agenda commissioner Neelie Kroes and Hungary's deputy prime minister Tibor Navracsics at a European Parliament committee hearing in Brussels on Thursday (9 February), Kroes said she would ask the commission to take appropriate action if needed.Her spokesperson later confirmed to this website that she means Article 7.The EU Treaty clause says the commission can trigger a procedure to determine if an EU country is in serious and persistent breach of treaty principles.If found guilty, the other EU member states cans suspend its voting rights in the EU Council.The Kroes-Navracsics dispute concerns a set of new media laws in Hungary which appear to threaten media diversity.The commission in January already started a separate legal procedure against Budapest in January over its new constitution, said to undermine the independence of judges and the central bank.

Kroes told Navracsics she expects him to ask the Strasbourg-based Council of Europe for an opinion on the media laws and to implement its recommendations.With the Strasbourg council already due to publish opinions on the Hungarian constitution in March, Navracsic replied - to a round of laughs - Only if these proposals do not run counter to the constitution of the Hungarian aquis.That is different from what you were answering in my office, Kroes said.I beg your pardon, no madame, it's exactly the same thing, Navracsics hit back.Kroes' remark on approporiate action was the last thing she said before the panel discussion ended. She left the room abruptly, without stopping to say goodbye or other pleasantries.The Council of Europe's spokesman late told this website: Hungary has yet to request an opinion from us on media.

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

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.

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,(DEMONIC ANGELS IN HIGH PLACES) against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.(SPIRTIUAL DEMONIC PERSONS)
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

LUKE 4:5-7(BECAUSE SATAN OFFERS WORLD POWER, WORLD ORDERERS HAVE ACCEPTED SATANS GIFT)
5 And the devil, taking him (JESUS) up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

DANIEL 7:23-25
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

DANIEL 12:4,1

REVELATION 13:1-3,7,8,12,16-18
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
16 And he causeth all,(WORLD SOCIALISM) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

REVELATION 17:3,7,9-10,12,18
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.James Paul Warburg appearing before the Senate on 7th February 1950

Like a famous WWII Belgian General,Paul Henry Spock said in 1957:We need no commission, we have already too many. What we need is a man who is great enough to be able to keep all the people in subjection to himself and to lift us out of the economic bog into which we threaten to sink. Send us such a man. Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

The United Nations Wants To Crash The World Economy In Order To Save The Environment

The United Nations says that the earth is in great danger and that the way you and I are living is the problem. In a shocking new report entitled, Resilient People, Resilient Planet: A Future Worth Choosing" the UN declares that the entire way that we currently approach economics needs to be changed. Instead of focusing on things like economic growth, the UN is encouraging nations all over the world to start basing measurements of economic success on the goal of achieving sustainable development. But there is a huge problem with that. The UN says that what we are doing right now is unsustainable by definition, and the major industrialized nations of the western world are the biggest culprits. According to the UN, since we are the ones that create the most carbon emissions and the most pollution, we are the ones that should make the biggest sacrifices. In addition, since we have the most money, we should also be willing to finance the transition of the developing world to a sustainable development economy as well. As you will see detailed in the rest of this article, the United Nations basically wants to crash the world economy in order to save the environment. Considering the fact that the U.S. and Europe are in the midst of a horrible economic crisis and are already drowning in debt, this is something that we simply cannot afford.There is certainly nothing wrong with taking care of the environment. But what the United Nations wants is a fundamental restructuring of the global economy based on flawed science.

In this new UN report, we find the following statement....Achieving sustainability requires us to transform the global economy. Tinkering on the margins will not do the job.This is absolutely crucial to understand.The folks over at the UN don't just want to change things a little.Their goal is a radical transformation of the entire world.According to the United Nations, if we don't implement their recommendations the consequences will be absolutely disastrous....But what, then, is to be done if we are to make a real difference for the world’s people and the planet? We must grasp the dimensions of the challenge. We must recognize that the drivers of that challenge include unsustainable lifestyles, production and consumption patterns and the impact of population growth. As the global population grows from 7 billion to almost 9 billion by 2040, and the number of middle-class consumers increases by 3 billion over the next 20 years, the demand for resources will rise exponentially. By 2030, the world will need at least 50 percent more food, 45 percent more energy and 30 percent more water — all at a time when environmental boundaries are throwing up new limits to supply. This is true not least for climate change, which affects all aspects of human and planetary health.So what changes are needed in order for us to achieve a sustainable global economy? Well, the following are some of the disturbing recommendations that we find in the new UN report....

Raise Prices

According to the United Nations, we need to start significantly raising the prices of things that are made in an unsustainable way so that they reflect the true cost of their production....Most goods and services sold today fail to bear the full environmental and social cost of production and consumption. Based on the science, we need to reach consensus, over time, on methodologies to price them properly.

Costing environmental externalities could open new opportunities for green growth and green jobs

That means that you and I would start paying a lot more for the basic things that we need every day - food, gasoline, etc.

Carbon Taxes

The UN report also discusses the need to use regulations and taxation as tools to penalize economic activities that are not sustainable....Establish natural resource and externality pricing instruments, including carbon pricing, through mechanisms such as taxation, regulation or emissions trading systems, by 2020

This is one of the favorite things that social engineers like to do. They love to use taxation and regulations as weapons to get people to do the things they want.

Base Lending Decisions On Sustainable Development Criteria

The United Nations is actually suggesting that lending decisions be based on whether or not the money will be used for something sustainable....Reform national fiscal and credit systems to provide long-term incentives for sustainable practices, as well as disincentives for unsustainable behaviour

Considering the fact that the entire global economy is based on credit, this is a very dangerous recommendation.

Green Jobs

The UN report also says that governments all over the world should seek to create as many green jobs as possible....Governments should adopt and advance green jobs and decent work policies as a priority in their budgets and sustainable development strategies while creating conditions for new jobs in the private sector.This is something that we have seen Barack Obama try to do, but obviously he has not had much success at it.

A New Economic Paradigm

According to the UN, the very way that we define economic success needs to be changed. Instead of looking at statistics such as GDP and inflation, we should be measuring what we do by how much it gets us closer to a sustainable world....Expanding how we measure progress in sustainable development by creating a sustainable development index or set of indicators

So an economic collapse could actually be good if we make progress toward the goal of sustainable development.Wealthy Countries Funding The Sustainable Development Goals Of Poor Countries.The UN report makes it clear that you and I will be paying for sustainable development all over the world in addition to paying for our own transition to a sustainable economy....Financing sustainable development requires vast new sources of capital from both private and public sources. It requires both mobilizing more public funds and using global and national capital to leverage global private capital through the development of incentives. Official development assistance will also remain critical for the sustainable development needs of low-income countries.But considering the fact that the United States is already flat broke, where are we going to come up with all of this money?

Teach Sustainable Development To Our Children

The United Nations also believes that this philosophy of sustainable development should be taught to children in public schools all over the globe....Government and non-governmental entities should promote the concept of sustainable development and sustainable consumption, and these should be integrated into curricula of primary and secondary education.Sadly, this agenda is already being pushed on our children in schools all over the United States. When these children grow up, the concepts behind sustainable development will be second nature for them.

Population Control

Those that believe in sustainable development want to reduce carbon emissions by as much as possible.When you sit down and really think about that, it becomes quite frightening.Nearly every form of economic activity produces carbon emissions.In fact, if you just sit in your home and breathe, you are producing carbon emissions.
So to them, you and I are the problem.For those that are worried about man-made global warming, the math is simple.The more people on earth, the higher the level of carbon emissions will be.The less people on earth, the lower the level of carbon emissions will be.So those that believe in sustainable development love to promote things that will reduce the human population of the earth.In fact, we see this agenda reflected in one of the recommendations of the new UN report....Ensuring universal access to quality and affordable family-planning and other sexual and reproductive rights and health services.If more women have access to abortion facilities, then less babies will be born. For those that believe in sustainable development, that is a good thing.But the UN has been pushing this kind of agenda for a long time.For example, the United Nations Population Fund released a report back in 2009 entitled Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate that included the following very chilling statement....Each birth results not only in the emissions attributable to that person in his or her lifetime, but also the emissions of all his or her descendants. Hence, the emissions savings from intended or planned births multiply with time.

This population control agenda is also being heavily promoted by many of the wealthiest people in the world. Many big philanthropists such as Bill Gates are using their money to fund research into population control measures. For example, Gates is currently funding research on cutting edge forms of birth control that could potentially be used all over the world. The following comes from a recent Natural News article....Mass vaccination is apparently not the only depopulation strategy being employed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as new research funded by the organization has developed a way to deliberately destroy sperm using ultrasound technology. BBC News reports that the Gates Foundation awarded a grant to researchers from the University of North Carolina (UNC) to develop this new method of contraception.For their study, the UNC team tested ultrasound on lab rats and found that two 15-minute doses significantly reduced both sperm counts and sperm integrity. When administered two days apart through warm salt water, ultrasound caused the rats' sperm counts to drop below ten million sperm per milliliter, which is five million less than the sub-fertile range, and stay that way for up to six months.This population control agenda is one of the most frightening elements of sustainable development. Many advocates of sustainable development would actually cheer if something suddenly caused the population of the earth to drop dramatically.

Much Stronger Global Governance

The new UN report also advocates stronger international governance by bodies such as the United Nations....International institutions have a critical role. International governance for sustainable development must be strengthened by using existing institutions more dynamically and by considering the creation of a global sustainable development council and the adoption of sustainable development goals
But this has been the ultimate goal of these control freaks for a long time. The idea is that a global government and a global economy will bring a great era of peace and prosperity to all of humanity.Of course that is a complete and total lie, but there are a lot of people out there that actually believe this stuff.In fact, the economic crisis that we are going through right now has renewed calls for a global currency which would be used by the whole world.For example, you can watch banker Evelyn de Rothschild discuss the need for an international currency on Bloomberg Television in the following video....

The new UN report reflects this globalist agenda. The report states that the peoples of the world are not going to put up with all of this inequality any longer and that they will be demanding that their national governments adopt a sustainable development agenda....The peoples of the world will simply not tolerate continued environmental devastation or the persistent inequality which offends deeply held universal principles of social justice. Citizens will no longer accept governments and corporations breaching their compact with them as custodians of a sustainable future for all. More generally, international, national and local governance across the world must fully embrace the requirements of a sustainable development future, as must civil society and the private sector.If you want to get a really good idea of what a sustainable development society would look like, just check out the video posted below....If you do not want to end up living in a Planned-opolis where virtually everything you do is watched, tracked and controlled by bureaucratic control freaks, then you better say something now.If the United Nations actually succeeded in implementing this agenda worldwide, it would crash the global economy and it would be the end of national sovereignty.Unfortunately, many of those that are promoting this agenda are absolute fanatics about it because they are convinced that they are saving the planet. They are so obsessed with rescuing the earth that they would do almost anything to all the rest of us in order to accomplish that goal.
Yes, we need to be concerned about the future of the planet, but the truth is that the sustainable development agenda is based on flawed science and it would make our economic problems far worse.But the control freaks that are obsessed with sustainable development are going to continue to try to cram this agenda down our throats, so this is a battle that is likely to go on for many years.

The State Has Declared War On The American People-U.S. citizens are now the primary target of the war on terror Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Friday, February 10, 2012
http://www.prisonplanet.com/the-state-has-declared-war-on-the-american-people.html

With the announcement that 30,000 drones are expected to fill American skies within ten years, the U.S. government has officially declared war on the American people, turning to technology normally used to hunt down insurgents abroad as the whole arsenal of the war on terror is re-focused domestically.

The State Has Declared War On The American People 19271

The Federation Aviation Administration said up to 30,000 drones could be in airspace shared with airliners carrying passengers, reports UPI.Once signed by president Obama, the FAA Reauthorization Act allows for the FAA to permit the use of drones and develop regulations for testing and licensing by 2015.Some types of surveillance drones are already being used by police departments across the country, including in Montgomery County, Texas, where the Department of Homeland Security recently gave the go-ahead for law enforcement in the United States to deploy the ShadowHawk mini drone drone helicopter that has the ability to taze suspects from above as well as carrying 12-gauge shotguns and grenade launchers.US law enforcement bodies are already using drone technology to spy on Americans. In December, a Predator B drone was called in to conduct surveillance over a family farm in North Dakota as part of a SWAT raid on the Brossart family, who were suspects in the egregious crime of stealing six missing cows. Local police in this one area have already used the drone on two dozen occasions since June last year.The DHS also recently announced a plan to spend up to $50 million dollars on a spy system that has been used to hunt insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan for the purposes of emergency and non-emergency incidents within the United States.While preparing the use of surveillance drones against Americans, the U.S. government is also keen to characterize a myriad of behaviors and activities, no matter how normal or mundane, as potential indicators of terrorism, encouraging citizens to spy on each other in a chilling throwback to how people were hired as informants under the East German Stasi.

As part of its Communities Against Terrorism program, the FBI is encouraging business owners from across the spectrum to spy on their customers.Lists of examples of suspicious behavior being sent out to everything from Internet Cafes to tattoo parlors define things like paying for a cup of coffee with cash, buying food in bulk, and showing an interest in online privacy as evidence of potential terrorist activity.The DHS has also released numerous PSAs that depict routine activities as potential signs of terrorism, including using a video camera, talking to police officers, wearing hoodies, driving vans, writing on a piece of paper, and using a cell phone recording application.The federal agency attracted much derision last week when it announced that Super Bowl vendors, including hot dog sellers, had been trained to spot terrorists under the First Observer program.Even more chilling, the feds have also begun to characterize perfectly legitimate political and economic beliefs as those held by terrorists, effectively denouncing them as thought crimes.

As Reuters reported on Monday, authorities are now treating those who believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard as extremists who are a potential violent threat to law enforcement. The DHS has also previously characterized returning veterans, Ron Paul supporters, gold investors, and people who display political bumper stickers as potential domestic terrorists.All this serves to underscore the fact that the American people have now been targeted as the number one terror threat in the eyes of the authorities. The state has declared war on U.S. citizens. Not only will they be subject to surveillance and intimidation campaigns, but with the recent passage of the indefinite detention provision of the NDAA, the government has afforded itself the power to hold Americans without trial.

Leftist Media Resorts To Conspiracy Theories To Sell Syria Invasion-Despite Arab League confirming opposition rebels are committing violence, Guardian blames Assad for terror attack Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Friday, February 10, 2012

Desperate to sell another humanitarian invasion, the leftist media in the United Kingdom has resorted to inventing conspiracy theories about events in Syria as part of a campaign to depict President Bashar Assad’s government as genocidal, while completely failing to acknowledge that the country is in a state of civil war.
Leftist Media Resorts To Conspiracy Theories To Sell Syria Invasion Syrian rebels 005

While the likes of the Guardian and other establishment leftist newspapers in Britain routinely savage anyone who dares to commit the thought crime of questioning the official story behind the 9/11 attacks or the London bombings, apparently it’s perfectly reasonable to continually imply that the wave of bombings and attacks targeting President Bashar Assad’s forces are false flags committed by the regime itself.The UK Guardian, which has completely prostrated itself as a 24-hour rolling mouthpiece for opposition fighters it habitually describes as activists, is at it again today, reacting to news that explosions have killed 17 people in an attack carried out by opposition rebels which targeted Syrian military and security buildings in the northern city of Aleppo, by insinuating the Syrian government bombed its own facility.They did the same thing when were 30 people killed by opposition rebels following two terrorist attacks in Damascus back in December.The newspaper’s live coverage of events is little more than a platform for dubious tweets sent out by anyone with a Twitter account claiming to be a Syrian activist, almost all of which claim with no evidence that Assad is killing his own forces to blame it on the opposition.Blow up people then broadcast the gory aftermath on morning TV. What an utterly disgusting regime, reads one tweet featured by the Guardian.Two explosions rock Aleppo, obviously another Regime charade on the bodies of innocent civilians and some of its cronies,writes another.

These baseless accusations could be coming from anywhere, whether they be from real Syrian activists or from within the halls of Britain’s Foreign Office. The Guardian simply regurgitates them alongside an editorial tone that affords the claims total credence, ignoring the independent observers from the Arab League who confirmed in their report that opposition fighters were using indiscriminate violence against government forces.The plausibility of terrorists targeting the Syrian regime is perfectly viable given the fact that hundreds of Libyan rebels, commanded by Abdulhakim Belhadj, a committed jihadist who fought with the Taliban against U.S. troops in Afghanistan, were airlifted into Syria last November to aid the opposition in carrying out attacks against government forces.British Special Forces are now also on the ground advising rebels. Why would Special Forces who are trained to kill be advising activists,as the Guardian describes them? The Guardian was even called out by one of its own readers, who pointed out that the fighting is actually a two-sided affair, rendering claims that Assad is engaging in genocide totally inaccurate.The definition of genocide is: the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group. Your writers, and the writers of many other publications, use it incorrectly all too often. What is happening in Syria is tragic, certainly could be called a crime against humanity, etc, but it is not genocide. It is civil war. Misusing genocide as frequently and mainstream journalists seem to love to do is inappropriate, unprofessional, and immoral in the sense that it is crying wolf and diminishing the severity of the word and the magnitude of the times genocide has actually occurred, commented the reader.

No one denies that Assad’s forces are killing opposition fighters, what do you expect when NATO powers have flown in the same terrorists who helped them overthrow Gaddafi to aid Syrian rebels? But to portray the rebels as activists who are the victims of bloodthirsty repression, even as they carry out terror attacks killing innocent people and Syrian government personnel, is wholly dishonest.Don’t forget that these are the same media outlets who for weeks persisted in describing Libyan rebel fighters who were armed with RPGs and were commandeering fighter jets as demonstrators,urging the UN to impose a no fly zone which quickly turned into a bombardment.The humanitarian attack on Libya so yearned for by liberal interventionists, with NATO powers again throwing their weight behind Al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists who had killed US and British troops in Iraq, has produced a country run by mobs of thugs who hunt, torture and kill dissenters, notably black Libyans who have been rounded up and incarcerated in detention camps.Thanks in part to leftist cheerleaders of humanitarian war like the Guardian, the Al-Qaeda flag now flies proudly over Libya.The Guardian is not alone in its efforts to portray Syrian rebel fighters as peace-loving angels while denouncing Assad’s government as an army of genocidal maniacs. The London Independent has got in on the act too, claiming that Syrian President Assad’s security forces have indiscriminately killed scores of newborn babies in Homs this week,writes Patrick Henningsen.The claim, which evokes memories of the notorious Saddam Hussein incubator babies hoax, has absolutely no foundation in evidence and comes directly from inside Britain’s Foreign Office.

Despite there being no media access inside Syria whatsoever, the international corporate press has simply relayed propaganda from activists,who are regurgitating talking points handed to them by Britain and the US, while completely ignoring the Arab League’s report which affirmed that the media has greatly exaggerated the amount of violence taking place in Syria.

Tensions flare in Athens ahead of austerity vote

BRUSSELS - Anti-austerity protesters threw rocks and petrol bombs at police on Friday (10 february) in Syntagma Square outside parliament, wher MPs will on Sunday vote on new cuts.The violence came after Greece's major trade unions launched a 48-hour general strike against the bill and some 10,000 unionists took the streets in mostly peaceful rallies.The unions labelled the cuts - worth €3.2 billion - the tombstone of Greek society.The police trade union in a letter adressed to EU institutions and seen by Reuters even threatened to arrest European Commission and International Monetary Fund (IMF) officials in Greece for blackmail, covertly abolishing or eroding democracy and national sovereignty.Meanwhile, the right-wing Laos party quit the government coalition and said it will vote against the plan. One minister from the Socialist Pasok party also resigned in protest over the cuts, along with three Laos ministers.Laos was mostly to blame for dragging out talks on the asuterity package for several weeks in a high-stakes confrontation which could see the country fail to secure a new €130 billion EU-IMF bail-out and default on its sovereign debt.Prime Minister Lucas Papademos still has a majority in the parliament.

But one of the bail-out conditions imposed by eurozone finance ministers on Thursday in Brussels was that all the main parties - including Laos - will have to sign a pledge that to respect the latest austerity measures after elections in April.Laos leader Georgios Karatzaferis told press in Athens: I am very disturbed not from the sacrifices we have to make, but from the humiliation of Greece. They have stolen our dignity.He added that Greece should remain in the euro, but not under a German boot.
Meanwhile, fresh statistics from the Greek finance ministry shows that the government has managed to collect only one percent of the €8.6 billion in tax penalties issued over the last two years.According to the Ekathimerini newspaper, had the government succeeded in collecting a third of the fines, the new austerity package would not have been needed.An EU commission spokesman on Friday said the increased presence of EU and national experts which is to form part of the new bail-out deal will help the government to collect taxes.They will be supporting and training, but the executive task, the political responsibility remains in the hands of the Greek government,Amadeu Altafaj Tardio said.

Russian Communist Party Stresses Support to Syria, Condemns the US and its Allies' Instigation to Escalate Tension in Syria Feb 10, 2012

MOSCOW, (SANA) – The Russian Communist Party stressed its support to Syria, condemning the acts committed by the USA and its allies in instigating and escalating tension in Syria.Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russia, Gennady Zyuganov, said that the events taking place in Syria and the neighboring areas provide clear evidence on the Western Countries' ambitions to subjugate other people and countries to serve their political and economic interests.

In a statement issued on Friday of which SANA got a copy, he added that the policy of imperialist countries claimed the lives of tens of thousands of victims in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya and now it is Syria's turn.Zyuganov said that the gunmen are committing violence acts and killing innocent people , supported by the neighboring countries and the US and its allies in line with the Arab countries' role in undermining the legitimate authority in Syria.Syria carries out an independent internal and external policy and has always supported the Palestinian people, not to mention, its continuous efforts to achieve just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East, he added.Zyuganov indicated that there are evidence on the direct involvement of Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar in Syria's internal affairs, adding that these countries complained of Syria as a secular state.He said the flagrant support by the US and its allies to the gunmen and extremists and the calls for toppling the legitimate power in Syria hindered positive development of the situation in Syria.Zyuganov expressed support to the measures taken by the Syrian leadership to reach peace and stability through dialogue and to the Syrian people who have the right to self-determination.He firmly called for a halt of all aggressive acts by the Western countries and their interference in Syria's internal affairs.The statement underlined the Syrian leadership's confirmations on its readiness to implement political and economic reforms to achieve democracy, indicating that date will be announced for a referendum on a new constitution will be held soon.He added that the opposition rejected all proposals submitted by the Syrian leadership to achieve peace and stability in the country.R.

Report: Syrian Armored Forces Move Nearer to Israel-The Syrian Army moved forces stationed in the Golan Heights and they are now closer to Israel, according to Free Syria Army.By Gil Ronen First Publish: 2/9/2012, 8:55 PM

According to reports from the Free Syria Army, the Syrian military has moved forces stationed in the southern part of the Syrian Golan Heights closer to Israel.The Syrian military did not come close to the border with Israel. However, armored forces that were stationed along the Syria-Jordan border, which were recently reinforced, were moved and are now closer to Israel, according to the report.The Free Syria Army is the largest opposition group in Syria and is partly made up of defectors from the official Syrian Army.Israel has been concerned that Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad, whose regime is on the verge of collapse, may try to defuse the uprising against him by starting a conflict with Israel.A Lebanese newspaper, The People's Army, claimed Thursday in its news website that the IDF has been making an extra effort in the past few days to place landmines all along its border with Syria.Hundreds of Israeli soldiers are reportedly working at lining the border with mines. Israel had already placed mines along some stretches of the border with Syria after the Nakba Day events last year, in which hundreds of Syrians broke into Israel virtually unimpeded. The action had been orchestrated by the Syrian government, later reports showed.

Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan to Meet to Discuss Post-American Era-The scheduled tripartite meeting between Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran highlights the decline in US prestige.By Amiel Ungar First Publish: 2/10/2012, 2:49 PM

At a time that the United States is trying to squeeze Iran and isolate her, Pakistan is doing the opposite. Pakistan has invited Iran and Afghanistan to a trilateral meeting on February 16 to discuss the situation after the departure of United States and NATO forces from Afghanistan. The Pakistani commentators are being smug, now that the United States is winding up its war on terror.Pakistan is bent on counting Iran for two reasons: The first is energy. The Iranians are offering a gas pipeline to Pakistan and Afghanistan to fuel their industrialization and are also offering oil to Pakistan at a cut rate, with deferred payments.In terms of clients, the trio makes sense: Pakistan has maintained ties with the overwhelmingly Pashtun Taliban, while Iran, which borders Afghanistan. is the mentor of the non Pashtun minorities.

Pakistan. possibly facing an imminent election, has announced that it will not succumb to American pressure and is ready to implement the pipeline deal as soon as possible according to President Asif Ali Zardari.Pakistan is holding a parliamentary review of relations with the United States and it is currently politically popular to bash the Americans, while touting China as a superior alternative (although China is leery about Muslim extremists operating out of Pakistan).Pakistan is attempting to wean Afghan President Hamid Karzai away from the Americans and - more importantly - from India.The State Department considers the pipeline a bad idea and is trying to offer alternatives. The Pakistanis are not in a listening mode as they accuse the United States of trying to establish India as a surrogate in Afghanistan.The current mood in the Obama administration, however, is to mend fences with the Pakistanis. Relations with the all powerful Inter-Services Intelligence of the Pakistani army have improved, after that agency was suspected of shielding Osama bin Laden. General James Mattis of Central Command will be offering an apology for the deadly American airstrike on the Afghan border that killed Pakistani troops.The Americans, aside from aid to Pakistan, have little leverage now that they are going. The people who are going to pay the price are those Afghans who placed their trust in the Americans. As Amrullah Saleh, an opposition leader, wrote in the Wall Street JournalWashington's olive branch to the Taliban—no matter the excuses or justifications—amounts to the management of failure, not the mark of victory. Negotiating with the Taliban, after more than 10 years of fighting, means giving legitimacy and space to militant extremism:

Lieberman: We're Prepared to Deal with Hizbullah-Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman to ambassadors: We hope Hizbullah doesn't attack Israel, but if they do we'll be prepared.By Elad Benari First Publish: 2/10/2012, 5:12 AM

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Thursday warned against some of recent statements coming from Lebanon.In the past few days it has been hinted that the Lebanon-based Hizbullah terror group may create a provocation against Israel in order to divert attention from what is happening in Syria, where President Bashar Assad continues the lethal crackdown on protesters.Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned on Thursday that sophisticated weapons could be transferred from Syria to Lebanon and to Hizbullah should Assad fall.Israeli officials have expressed concern in the past that Assad's fall would have regional consequences that could affect Israel. These include a possibility that Israel's north could be inundated with Syrian refugees, or that Assad might attack the Jewish state to shift attention from his regime.

Officials have also warned that Syria’s weapons, including alleged chemical and biological ones, could fall into the hands of terrorists, including Hizbullah, which fought a war with Israel in 2006.Lieberman, who met in New York on Thursday with the ambassadors of member states of the UN Security Council, said, We hope it will not happen but Israel will be prepared for this possibility as well.The foreign minister, who spoke with the ambassadors about the Security Council’s relations with Israel and about the situation in the Middle East, also addressed the reconciliation agreement recently signed between Hamas and Fatah.We will not accept a Palestinian government in which Hamas is a partner without Hamas changing its position and as long as it does not recognize Israel’s right to exist and accepts the Quartet’s conditions,said Lieberman.He added that the agreement signed in Doha does not contribute to advancing the negotiations with the Palestinian Authority and said it is based solely on the personal interests of PA Chairman Mahoud Abbas and Hamas’ politburo chief Khaled Mashaal.The agreement signed between Hamas and Fatah calls for Abbas to head an interim government, which will be made up of independent technocrats.The new PA interim government is to be presented on February 18 in Cairo.
Lieberman also addressed the Iranian nuclear threat and said that the Iranian regime is the greatest threat to world peace.We hope that the latest sanctions will cause the Iranian regime to give up its nuclear program, but if not, Israel is leaving all options open,he said.He also said he expects the Security Council to deal with the repeated statements of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who have repeatedly called to wipe Israel off the map.

Op-Ed: Without Changing UNRWA, There Can Be No Peace Published: Thursday, February 09, 2012 10:56 AM The writer was an observer at a Bar Ilan conference on UNRWA, Panelists warned that UNRWA is a grave threat to resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

At a meeting of over 40 diplomats and ambassadors held at Bar Ilan University last week, devoted to a discussion of UNRWA, Refugees and the Peace Process, three panelists, all supporters of the Two-State Solution focused on the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) as a major obstacle to any resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict.Without changing UNRWA, MK Einat Wilf (Azmaut) warned, the two-state solution and the peace process was in danger. Wilf unveiled a plan to restructure the controversial UN organization which has been caring for Arab Palestinian refugees and their descendants exclusively for over 60 years.Wilf announced a scoop, that she will propose Knesset action to urge ending support for UNRWA and shifting the billion-dollar organization from its support for the Palestinian right of return to specific projects that met needs,schools, hospitals and welfare, encouraged integration and worked towards resettlement.We need to delink UNRWA’s funding from (refugee) status to direct need, she said.People should be given help because they are in need, not because they are, or were refugees.One of Wilf’s suggestions is to redirect funding from UNRWA to the PA, in Judea and Samaria and Hamas in Gaza, as parts of a future Palestinian state. It’s their responsibility,she said.

Moreover, she proposed a drastic reduction in the numbers of those considered as refugees – about 15,000 in Gaza and 30,000 in Judea and Samaria , instead of the five million which UNRWA claims it supports.Not only is UNRWA undermining any possibility of peace, Wilf asserted, it is a self-perpetuating organization which lobbies for funding. Wilf also suggested that Arab refugees living in Arab countries and PA/Hamas administered areas should be handled by UNHCR.The panel included Prof Yaffa Zilbershats, Deputy President of BIU and legal expert who refuted the legal claim that Palestinians have the right of return.There is no right, Zilbershats asserted, referring to UNGA Resolutions 181 and 194, but rather recommendations, which have never been implemented as a whole, and include compensation and resettlement as options. There is no reference in any of these resolutions to the descendants of refugees, she noted. A supporter of the two-state solution, she warned that UNRWA’s perpetuation of the notion that millions of hostile Arabs, nearly all of whom are not refugees and have never lived in Israel, would be allowed to return to Israel prevented any progress towards peace.Prof Gerald Steinberg, moderator of the Forum, founder of the BIU Program on Conflict Management and Negotiation and member of the Begin-Sadat (BESA) Center for Strategic Studies emphasized that more than 700,000 Jews were expelled from Arab countries as a result of the Arab-Israel war in 1948 and were fully integrated into Israel, and other countries without compensation for their losses.

Roi Kedar, CEO of the Reut Institute, noted that UNRWA helped perpetuate the notion of victimization and prevented any progress towards two states for two people. He suggested constructive unilateralism, in which the Palestinian refugee issue would be diluted rather than resolved. Funds would be transferred from UNRWA to Arab states, including a Palestinian state, which would offer full citizenship, a suggestion, however, that has been rejected by all Arab leaders.The elephant in the room: UNRWA was created by the UN General Assembly and no changes are possible without UNGA approval -- unlikely since the UNGA is dominated by the bloc of Islamic nations. More problematic, UNRWA’s largest backers, the EU and US, remain committed to supporting UNRWA and have not been asked by any government – especially not Israel-- to change their policy.Regarding the possibility of changing UNRWA, a EU spokesperson said: Nothing is happening and no one is thinking about it.Reaching out to the diplomatic community may be the beginning of a new direction. It’s doubtful if this will be successful without clear, official government support – which it currently lacks.
