POISONED WATERS
HOSEA 4:1-3
1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land,(EARTH) because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
ZEPHANIAH 1:2-3
2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.
3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.
REVELATION 8:8-11
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood:(bitter,Poisoned) and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.(poisoned)
REVELATION 16:3-7
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.(enviromentalists won't like this result)
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they(False World Church and Dictator) have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Uganda Ebola outbreak: patients flee hospital amid contagion fears
Ebola outbreak in Uganda claims at least 14 lives as health officials battle to stem spread of deadly virus

Terrified patients fled from a hospital in western Uganda as soon as news broke that a mysterious illness that killed at least 14 people in the region was Ebola, one of the world's most virulent diseases.Ignatius
Besisira, an MP for Buyaga East County in the Kibaale district, said
people had at first believed the unexplained deaths were related to
witchcraft. "Immediately, when there was confirmation that it was Ebola …
patients ran out of Kagadi hospital (where some of the victims had
died)," he told the Guardian. "Even the medical officers are very, very
frightened," he said.Government officials and a World Health Organisation
representative confirmed the Ebola outbreak at a news conference in
Kampala on Saturday. "Laboratory investigations done at the Uganda Virus
Research Institute ... have confirmed that the strange disease reported
in Kibaale is indeed Ebola haemorrhagic fever," they said in a joint
statement.Health officials said at least 20 people had been infected and of those 14 had died.There
is no treatment or vaccine against Ebola, which is transmitted by close
personal contact and, depending on the strain, can kill up to 90% of
those who contract the virus.It has a devastating history in
Uganda, where in 2000, at least 425 people were infected, of whom more
than half died. Ebola was previously reported in the country in May last
year, when it killed a 12-year-old girl.During an outbreak in 2007, which claimed at least 37 lives, President Yoweri Museveni advised people not to shake hands and public gatherings were also discouraged.One
of those who succumbed to the outbreak in Kibaale was a clinical
officer, Besisira said. The other fatalities came from a single
household in Nyamarunda subdistrict, he added.Joaquim Saweka,
WHO's representative in Uganda, said the suspected infections emerged in
the region in early July but the confirmation came only on Friday.
The Ugandan government said a national emergency taskforce had been set up and urged the population to remain calm. The government, WHO and the US Centres for Disease Control have sent experts to Kibaale to tackle the outbreak.Besisira said officials in Kibaale had released radio broadcasts outlining precautionary measures on Saturday. "We have assured (the people) that we have a very strong team … who are making sure the disease is controlled … I am very confident we can contain it," he added.Besisira had not heard of people moving out of the region, but the Daily Nation newspaper in neighbouring Kenya said on Sunday that people were leaving the area around Kagadi town, where the disease first appeared."We have to move to safer places because we can easily get infected by this disease here," the paper quoted a resident, Omuhereza Kugonza, as saying.The WHO describes Ebola as "a viral haemorrhagic fever and one of the most virulent diseases known to humankind". It says the disease was identified in 1976 in a western equatorial province of Sudan and a nearby region of Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo). It takes its name from a river in the DRC.Kibaale is near Uganda's border with the DRC.Ebola is transmitted by direct contact with the body fluids and tissues of infected persons. It can also be transmitted by handling sick or dead infected wild animals, such as chimpanzees, gorillas, monkeys, forest antelope and fruit bats.
Symptoms include sudden fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat, followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, rashes, impaired kidney and liver function and bleeding.

China-EU trade war looms over solar energy industry
28.07.12 @ 09:22 By Philip Ebels
BRUSSELS - China and the EU are facing a
trade war after a group of European solar panel producers this week
lodged an anti-dumping complaint, sparking immediate threats of
retaliation.
The companies accuse China of giving out “immense subsidies”,
Nitzschke said, helping its own industry to gain market share in Europe
by selling its products at artificially low prices - a practice known as
dumping and illegal under international trade law.Citing Goldman Sachs, they say China’s share of the EU market for
crystalline solar modules has increased from 63 percent in 2009 to 80
percent in 2011. Ten years ago, that number was close to zero.“China is not competing,” Nitzschke told EUobserver. “It is breaking the rules.”
If deemed viable, the complaint may lead to import tariffs on solar panels from China. In May in the US, such action was already taken. In response, China last week launched investigations into possible dumping from the US and South-Korea.“There is nothing else China can do if the EU follows the precedent of the US and imposes duties on Chinese solar products,” Li Junfeng, another high official, was quoted as having said.

Cheap solar panels from China are distorting the market, EU companies say. (Photo: TREC-UK)The complaint comes from Germany's SolarWorld and a newly formed coalition of some 25 companies, according to spokesperson Milan Nitzschke, most of whom choose to remain anonymous "for fear of repression."
An eye for an eye
It did not take long before warnings came from the East of swift retaliation.China’s four major solar panel producers issued a statement denying the allegations and urging the government to take the “necessary measures to protect our ... interests”.State-run news agency Xinhua, for its part, on Friday (27 July) left little doubt over what those measures may consist of.It cited Meng Xiangan, a high official charged with renewable energy, as having said that if the EU decides to start investigations, “China will likely initiate anti-dumping and anti-subsidy probes on EU-imported [products]”.It also cited the country’s ministry of commerce as having said that any “protectionist measures will harm the European solar industry”.If deemed viable, the complaint may lead to import tariffs on solar panels from China. In May in the US, such action was already taken. In response, China last week launched investigations into possible dumping from the US and South-Korea.“There is nothing else China can do if the EU follows the precedent of the US and imposes duties on Chinese solar products,” Li Junfeng, another high official, was quoted as having said.
Keeping the lid on
Meanwhile, the European Commission is doing its utmost to keep things quiet.It now has six weeks to decide on the way forward: to proceed with investigations or not. Until then, it refuses to comment or even to confirm the existence of the complaint.Yet one spokesperson, Joe Hennon, on Thursday during the executive’s daily press briefing said it had not yet received an official complaint.His comment was later removed, however, from the commission’s website.“It was asked for,” said an official from the commission’s audiovisual services who did not want to be named.FAMINE

US 'extreme drought' zones triple in size
By Andrew Gully | AFP – Fri, Jul 27, 2012 6:49 AM EDT
The
drought in America's breadbasket is intensifying at an unprecedented
rate, experts warned, driving concern food prices could soar if crops in
the world's key producer are decimated.The US Drought Monitor reported a nearly threefold increase in areas
of extreme drought over the past week in the nine Midwestern states
where three quarters of the country's corn and soybean crops are
produced."That expansion of D3 or extreme conditions intensified quite rapidly
and we went from 11.9 percent to 28.9 percent in just one week," Brian
Fuchs, a climatologist and Drought Monitor author, told AFP."For myself, studying drought, that's rapid. We've seen a lot of
things developing with this drought that were unprecedented, especially
the speed."Almost two thirds of the continental United States are now suffering
drought conditions, the largest area recorded since the Drought Monitor
project started in 1999."If you are following the grain prices here in the US, they are
reflecting the anticipated shortages with a price increase," Fuchs said."In turn, you're going to see those price increases trickle into the
other areas that use those grain crops: cattle feed, ethanol production
and then food stuffs."In some rural areas, municipal water suppliers are talking about
mandatory restrictions because they have seen such a dramatic drop in
the water table that they fear being unable to fulfill deliveries to
customers, Fuchs said."Things have really developed over the last two months and conditions
have worsened just that quick and that is really unprecedented," he
added."Definitely exports are going to suffer because there is going to be less available and the markets are already reflecting that."It's anticipated that this drought is going to persist through the
next couple of months at least and conditions are not overly favorable
to see any widespread improvement."President Barack Obama's administration has opened up protected US
land to help farmers and ranchers hit by the drought and encouraged crop
insurance companies to forgo charging interest for a month.Officials have said the drought will drive up food prices since 78
percent of US corn and 11 percent of soybean crops have been hit and the
United States is the world's biggest producer of those crops.The current drought has been compared to a 1988 crisis that cut
production by 20 percent and cost the economy tens of billions of
dollars.The US Department of Agriculture issued retail price forecasts
Wednesday for 2013 and they already showed an impact from the drought,
with consumers expected to pay between three and four percent more for
their groceries."The 2013 numbers reflect higher-than-average inflation which is
partly a function of the drought and the higher crop prices," said
Ephraim Leibtag of the USDA's Economic Research Service."The drought effects are starting now at the farm and agricultural level."Those things take two to 12 months to work through the system. So
you'll see some effects as early as the fall (autumn) in terms of the
grocery stores and restaurants, certainly later in the year and into
2013."The full impact of the drought on food prices won't be known for months.
"It's too early to tell as we don't know how much of the crop is going to be lost and how much higher corn and soybean prices will go," Leibtag said."We are not forecasting major impacts on retail food at this point. If the drought gets worse or corn and soybean prices rise even more, that would start to have a bigger impact."
Even before the last week, farmers were telling AFP they may have to cut their losses -- chopping down fields of half-mature, earless corn to feed the stalks to cattle.Weather forecasters predicted no respite.

26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

Two dead, over 130,000 without power after fierce U.S. storms
By Adam Fenster | Reuters – Fri, Jul 27, 2012 2:09 PM EDT
ELMIRA,
New York (Reuters) - Violent thunderstorms barreled through the Ohio
Valley and mid-Atlantic regions of the eastern United States late on
Thursday, killing two people and cutting power to more than 130,000
homes and businesses in New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.The storms spawned at least one tornado, which touched
down in Elmira, New York, toppling trees and ripping off rooftops, the
National Weather Service said.Officials in Pennsylvania and New York reported two storm-related deaths.A woman camping in Genesee, Pennsylvania, near the New
York state line, took refuge from the storm in her car. She was killed
when a tree fell on the car, said Potter County emergency services
director John Hetrick.
New York City police said a 61-year-old man in Brooklyn's Cobble Hill neighborhood was killed when scaffolding at a church collapsed on him as the storm passed through near 8 p.m.He was identified as Richard Schwartz, a longtime assistant attorney general in New York who was at the forefront of investigations involving such high profile targets as Microsoft and the National Football League."It's possible lightning struck the top of the roof, causing some bricks to fall on top of the scaffolding," said a police spokesman.The storms forced the cancellation of over 900 flights on Thursday, according to FlightAware, a Texas-based company that tracks the status of flights. The highest number of cancellations was at LaGuardia Airport in New York.The one reported tornado hit Elmira's east side hardest. In one four-block neighborhood, most homes had trees toppled on them, street signs were bent and tree trunks had debris wrapped around them. Several cars were crushed by downed trees.One two-story brick building had most of its second story torn off in the storm, and most power remained out for the city's 29,000 residents on Friday morning.Meteorologists said 70-mile-per-hour (113-kph) winds were reported in parts of Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma.As the storms sent black, menacing clouds across cities and open country, hail ranging from dime- to quarter-sized fell in some areas of Pennsylvania, AccuWeather.com said.
By midday Friday, utilities across the region had made only modest progress in restoring power, with more than 130,000 homes and businesses still without electricity.Pennsylvania accounted for a majority of those still without power, with more than 85,000 customers in the dark early Friday, according to electric companies serving the region.Roughly 34,000 people in New York were without power, most of them in the southern-tier region near Elmira, according to NYSEG. About 13,500 customers in eastern Ohio were still offline, according to AEP Ohio.The storms formed along a cold front stretching from the Ohio Valley into the northeast, bringing the threat of damaging winds, hail and tornadoes, according to the Weather Channel.

REFUGEE RESTAURANTS
Restaurants in the centre of Damascus, which would normally be packed at dusk as Muslims break their daily Ramadan fast, say they have been empty for days."From the first day of Ramadan till today, not one customer has stepped into this restaurant," said Mohammad, who works at a restaurant in the 29th of May street, a few blocks north of the old city. "Five people came today but because I wasn't expecting anyone I had to turn them away."Only the snack restaurants selling fatayer - meat or vegetables wrapped in pastry - are doing good business, feeding displaced people in schools and gardens.A school in Barzeh, in northern Damascus, has taken in 1,500 displaced people from Douma, Qaboun and Harasta, rebel strongholds to the east which have been pounded by Assad's army."All sorts of help is brought, especially food in Ramadan," said one activist at the school.In many districts the pervasive stench of rotten garbage, left uncollected throughout last week's scorching heat and heavy fighting, has finally dissipated following a cleanup by both residents and authorities.In the northern neighborhood of Jisr al-Abyad, people desperate for business have resorted to selling goods on the pavements, something which in pre-crisis days would have been immediately stopped by city authorities.Checkpoints and roadblocks hamper movement for those who want to travel.
"I can't get to work or deliver my goods, not that there is much business anyway ... I haven't brought a penny home in three months," said Bassam, a honey producer who fled his home in Douma with his family to stay with relatives in central Abu Roumaneh."No one is buying, no one is selling. The Syrian pound is weak ... And prices of everything have sky rocketed,' said Marwan, an agricultural products supplier.Fears over a prolonged blockade and food and petrol shortages saw a spike in the price of foodstuffs of up to 150 percent last week with three-hour queues forming at gas stations until a convoy of tankers on Sunday brought more petrol.In Midan, the first district of the capital to be retaken by Assad's forces eight days ago, the wreckage of burned-out cars, destroyed buildings and bullet-ridden walls and windows bore witness to indiscriminate destruction."I came back on Monday and found my home turned inside out. luckily I had taken my gold and money with me but the army took my son's clothes, my perfume bottles and other items," said Huda, a resident of Damascus' traditional heartland."Please tell the world to cut China and Russia off and to get us a no-fly zone," another Midan resident said, reflecting the anger of Assad's opponents towards Beijing and Moscow for blocking Western-backed United Nations resolutions over Syria."I swear that if it wasn't for my family I would be out there fighting with the Free Syrian Army."
WARY OF REBELS
Not everyone is rooting for the rebels. Aside from staunchly pro-Assad loyalists, there is an increasing number of people who oppose the president but are wary of the FSA."Neither side is a very attractive option for Syria ... The regime is a beast but the FSA, the Salafists and the international agenda are going to destroy the country," said Housam, a local resident.That despair is echoed in the Shaalan vegetable market, where shoppers and shopkeepers alike see little chance of escaping the spiral of violence and economic collapse.One woman shopping at the market said she had only started leaving her home in the last two days, in daylight."Life has become one big problem. Syrians are killing Syrians. Everyone in my street in Mezze fled," said another woman driving to Shaalan. "The country is being destroyed."Like his customers, a shopkeeper bemoaned the high prices."I'm just like them - I can only get food and vegetables and fruit if I pay double. And it only gets here with difficulty. None of us can bear it," he said."The solution is in the hands of the regime. Either he goes, or he stays on killing people," said the shopkeeper, choosing out of contempt or residual fear not to speak Assad's name out loud. "As long as he stays, there is no solution."(Writing by Dominic Evans; Editing by Giles Elgood)

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.

Romney faces high stakes as he begins his talks with top Israeli officials and meets with the Palestinian prime minister. Mindful of polls back home that show a tight presidential contest, the former one-term Massachusetts governor is looking to burnish his foreign policy credentials and prove his mettle as a possible commander in chief.The trip is a chance for Romney to draw implicit contrasts with Obama and demonstrate how he would lead America on the world stage.But Romney arrived in Jerusalem Saturday night after a difficult few days in Britain, where he made the mistake of criticizing the country's Olympic Games and raised the hackles of his hosts. The gaffe undermined the stated goal of his weeklong journey through Britain, Israel and Poland: emphasizing America's ties with longstanding allies.Romney has pledged not to criticize Obama while on foreign soil, honoring longstanding American tradition of leaving politics at the water's edge. But his aide's announcement of Romney's willingness to express support for an Israeli strike while in Jerusalem represents an effort to contrast the two presidential opponents.In addition to Netanyahu, Romney met with other Israeli officials and will also sit down with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad."Like you we are very concerned about the development of nuclear capabilities on the part of Iran and feel it is unacceptable for Iran to become a nuclear armed nation," Romney said at a meeting with Israeli President Shimon Peres. "The threat it would pose to Israel, the region and the world is incomparable and unacceptable."Romney planned to spend the evening dining at Netanyahu's home — the Israeli leader invited Romney and his wife to break the fast for the Jewish holiday Tisha B'Av. The holy day, celebrated Sunday, commemorates the destruction of two temples in Jerusalem.Romney and Netanyahu have known each other since both were young businessmen at Boston Consulting Group in the 1970s.While Romney is left to implicit contrasts with his Democratic opponent, Obama has been focusing on Israel, signing legislation on Friday increasing military and civilian ties between the U.S. and Israel. And he authorized the release of an additional $70 million in military aid for Israel, a previously announced move that appeared timed to Romney's trip.

After the battle, despair grips Damascus
Reuters – 10 hrs ago JULY 29,12
(The identities of the reporters have been withheld for their security)
DAMASCUS (Reuters) - In the once bustling shopping district of Hamra Street in the heart of Damascus,
three men - all made homeless by fighting which raged in the city for
two weeks - sit outside their empty shops on a deserted pavement.Residents of the eastern and southern suburbs of the Syrian capital, which have been hardest hit by President Bashar al-Assad's fierce counter-offensive against rebel forces, they have sought shelter with family in central Damascus."Can you believe that all three of us here have fled
our homes? All of us are from destroyed homes. Living with relatives in
the centre of town," said Ahmed, a shop owner from Douma, an opposition
suburb to the east of the capital.They have joined many thousands who have retreated
inwards to relative safety, leaving the city shrunken and surrounded by a
still smoldering war zone.
But even central Damascus has been shattered by the
violence. Shops open only between 9 am and 3 pm, food prices have soared
and no one dares walk outside after dusk, even in the holy month of
Ramadan when streets are normally packed late into the night with people
celebrating after a day of fasting."There are no customers and I sent my employees home. I
cannot afford to pay them. I cannot afford to pay the installments on
my home. I am bankrupt," said Ahmed who, like others interviewed for
this article, declined to give his full name.The men, from the
southern suburb of Sayida Zeinab and Hajar al-Aswad - hit by rockets and
heavy machine gun fire from helicopter gunships - said they initially
had little sympathy with the uprising against 42 years of Assad family rule, inspired by revolts across the Arab world last year.
"To begin with I was with the regime, for sure," said
Ahmed. "But now, no, the regime must go. Take what they want with them,
but they must go."Mohammad blamed the 46-year-old president, who has
vowed to defeat what he says is foreign-backed terrorist violence, for
the increasing despair in Damascus."Can anyone stand by him now? I don't believe it. We're
all refugees. We have no houses, no money. Our bosses don't pay us.
This must end."REFUGEE RESTAURANTS

Romney voices aggressive stance toward Iran
By | Associated Press – 12 hrs ago JULY 29,12
JERUSALEM (AP) — Mitt Romney would respect an Israeli decision to make a unilateral military strike against Iran aimed at preventing Tehran from obtaining nuclear capability, a top foreign policy adviser said Sunday as he outlined the aggressive posture the Republican presidential candidate will take toward Iran in a speech in Israel later in the day.Romney has said he has a "zero tolerance" policy toward Iran obtaining the capability to build a nuclear weapon."If
Israel has to take action on its own, in order to stop Iran from
developing the capability, the governor would respect that decision,"
foreign policy adviser Dan Senor told reporters ahead of the speech,
planned for late Sunday near Jerusalem's Old City.Senor
said Romney is careful to note the governor believes preventing nuclear
"capability" — not just a nuclear weapon — is critical.He later
clarified his comments in a written statement, saying: "Gov. Romney
believes we should employ any and all measures to dissuade the Iranian
regime from its nuclear course, and it is his fervent hope that
diplomatic and economic measures will do so. In the final analysis, of
course, no option should be excluded."Democratic U.S. President Barack Obama
has also affirmed the right of Israel to defend itself, but in contrast
to Romney, Obama has warned of the consequences of an Israeli strike on
Iran."Already, there is too much loose talk of war," Obama told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee
in March. "Now is the time to let our increased pressure sink in and to
sustain the broad international coalition we have built."
Pentagon
officials have spoken publicly about the difficulty of such a strike
and American officials have expressed concern about the destabilizing
effect such military action could have in the region, even if carried
out successfully.Romney, like Obama, believes the option of a
U.S. attack should also be "on the table." He has said he will do "the
opposite" of what Obama would do in his approach to Israel."Make
no mistake: the ayatollahs in Tehran are testing our moral defenses.
They want to know who will object, and who will look the other way,"
Romney plans to say later Sunday in a speech in Jerusalem. "My message
to the people of Israel and the leaders of Iran is one and the same: I
will not look away; and neither will my country."The Obama
administration hasn't ruled out the military option, but Obama has so
far been relying on economic sanctions and diplomatic negotiations to
discourage Iran from building a nuclear bomb.For its part, Iran says it is not interested in nuclear weapons and its nuclear program is for peaceful, civilian purposes.The
Israelis are considering a strike because they fear Iran could be
moving its nuclear enrichment sites further underground, out of reach of
the weapons Israel has available.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
on Sunday welcomed Romney as "a representative of the United States"
and told the Republican presidential candidate he agrees with his
approach to the threat of a nuclear Iran.Netanyahu said he
listened to Romney's speech in Reno, Nev., where the likely GOP nominee
said that Iran possessing nuclear capability is the greatest danger
facing the world."Mitt, I couldn't agree with you more," Netanyahu told Romney."We
have to be honest and say that all the sanctions and diplomacy so far
have not set back the Iranian program by one iota. And that's why I
believe that we need a strong and credible military threat coupled with
the sanctions to have a chance to change that situation," Netanyahu
said.Romney's verbal support for unilateral Israeli military action represents a break from Obama administration policy.Iran's
nuclear program has become the most pressing problem for the U.S. and
Israel and Republicans have consistently criticized Obama for putting
too much pressure on Israel in the peace process and being too weak on
Iran.Obama rejects the criticism, and his aides point to what they call unprecedented U.S.-Israeli security cooperation.Senor was previewing the speech Romney plans in Jerusalem after he spends the day meeting with Israeli officials.Over
the course of the day, Romney will confront some of the world's most
difficult peace and security challenges as he looks to demonstrate to
Jewish and evangelical voters back home that he's a better friend to
Israel than Obama.Romney faces high stakes as he begins his talks with top Israeli officials and meets with the Palestinian prime minister. Mindful of polls back home that show a tight presidential contest, the former one-term Massachusetts governor is looking to burnish his foreign policy credentials and prove his mettle as a possible commander in chief.The trip is a chance for Romney to draw implicit contrasts with Obama and demonstrate how he would lead America on the world stage.But Romney arrived in Jerusalem Saturday night after a difficult few days in Britain, where he made the mistake of criticizing the country's Olympic Games and raised the hackles of his hosts. The gaffe undermined the stated goal of his weeklong journey through Britain, Israel and Poland: emphasizing America's ties with longstanding allies.Romney has pledged not to criticize Obama while on foreign soil, honoring longstanding American tradition of leaving politics at the water's edge. But his aide's announcement of Romney's willingness to express support for an Israeli strike while in Jerusalem represents an effort to contrast the two presidential opponents.In addition to Netanyahu, Romney met with other Israeli officials and will also sit down with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad."Like you we are very concerned about the development of nuclear capabilities on the part of Iran and feel it is unacceptable for Iran to become a nuclear armed nation," Romney said at a meeting with Israeli President Shimon Peres. "The threat it would pose to Israel, the region and the world is incomparable and unacceptable."Romney planned to spend the evening dining at Netanyahu's home — the Israeli leader invited Romney and his wife to break the fast for the Jewish holiday Tisha B'Av. The holy day, celebrated Sunday, commemorates the destruction of two temples in Jerusalem.Romney and Netanyahu have known each other since both were young businessmen at Boston Consulting Group in the 1970s.While Romney is left to implicit contrasts with his Democratic opponent, Obama has been focusing on Israel, signing legislation on Friday increasing military and civilian ties between the U.S. and Israel. And he authorized the release of an additional $70 million in military aid for Israel, a previously announced move that appeared timed to Romney's trip.
N. Korea vows tough action against US
AFP – 9 hrs ago JULY 29,12
North Korea
on Sunday vowed tough action against the United States, accusing it of
plotting to blow up statues of its founding leader in a bid to stir
turmoil in the isolated communist state.The warning comes just days after the North said it would "completely review" the nuclear issue, amid concerns that Pyongyang may be planning a third nuclear test following its failed rocket launch in April.Pyongyang has recently increased
hostility towards Seoul and Washington, accusing them of sending a spy
to the country with a mission to blow up statues of Kim Il-Sung, adding that the plot amounted to a "war action"."(North Korea) has various types
of strike means... powerful enough to render the US modern war means
ineffective," the country's National Defence Commission said in a statement carried by the state-run KCNA news agency.It vowed to launch a "powerful physical counter-offensive" against the United States, but did not elaborate on what that meant.The threat comes after the North arrested a man who was allegedly trying to blow up a monument to Kim Il-Sung.Jon Yong-Chol was presented at a press conference in Pyongyang
earlier this month, where he claimed he had been promised handsome
rewards from Seoul intelligence agents if he succeeded in his mission.The impoverished but
nuclear-armed North has a pervasive personality cult surrounding its
ruling family and has built numerous monuments for its late founding
leader Kim Il-Sung who died in 1994 and his son Kim Jong-Il.In April two giant statues of the
two late rulers were unveiled in the capital Pyongyang, just hours
after the North's failed rocket launch seen by the US and its allies as
an attempted ballistic missile test.
Arms treaty must wait after UN agreement fails
By | Associated Press – Sat, Jul 28, 2012
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — A U.N. treaty to regulate the multibillion-dollar global arms trade
will have to wait after member states failed to an reach agreement, and
some diplomats and supporters blamed the United States for the
unraveling of the monthlong negotiating conference.Hopes had been raised that agreement could be reached on a revised treaty text
that closed some major loopholes by Friday's deadline for action. But
the U.S. announced Friday morning that it needed more time to consider
the proposed treaty — and Russia and China then also asked for more
time."This was stunning
cowardice by the Obama administration, which at the last minute did an
about-face and scuttled progress toward a global arms treaty,
just as it reached the finish line," said Suzanne Nossel, executive
director of Amnesty International USA. "It's a staggering abdication of
leadership by the world's largest exporter of conventional weapons to
pull the plug on the talks just as they were nearing an historic
breakthrough."A Western diplomat, speaking on condition of
anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, also blamed the U.S.,
saying "they derailed the process," adding that nothing will happen to
revive negotiations until after the U.S. presidential election in
November.
Chief U.S. negotiator Thomas Countryman refused to talk to several dozen reporters when the meeting broke up.U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement Friday evening that the U.S. supports a second round of negotiations next year."While we sought to conclude the month's negotiations with a treaty, more time is a reasonable request for such a complex and critical issue," the satement said.The draft treaty would require all countries to establish national regulations to control the transfer of conventional arms and to regulate arms brokers. It would prohibit states that ratify the treaty from transferring conventional weapons if they would violate arms embargoes or if they would promote acts of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes.In considering whether to authorize the export of arms, the draft says a country must evaluate whether the weapon would be used to violate international human rights or humanitarian laws or be used by terrorists, organized crime or for corrupt practices.Many countries, including the U.S., control arms exports but there has never been an international treaty regulating the estimated $60 billion global arms trade. For more than a decade, activists and some governments have been pushing for international rules to try to keep illicit weapons out of the hands of terrorists, insurgent fighters and organized crime.U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was "disappointed" with the failure to reach agreement on a treaty text , which he described as "a setback." He said he remained committed to working with member states to puruse a "robust" treaty on controlling the conventional arms trade."A strong treaty would rid the world of the appalling human cost of the poorly regulated international arms trade," Ban said in a statement released late Friday in London where he was attending the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.The U.N. General Assembly voted in December 2006 to work toward a treaty regulating the growing arms trade, with the U.S. casting a "no" vote. In October 2009, the Obama administration reversed the Bush administration's position and supported an assembly resolution to hold four preparatory meetings and a four-week U.N. conference in 2012 to draft an arms trade treaty.The United States insisted that a treaty had to be approved by the consensus of all 193 U.N. member states.Ambassador Roberto Garcia Moritan, the conference chairman, said treaty supporters knew "this was going to be difficult to achieve."He said negotiations failed because some delegations didn't like the draft though "the overwhelming majority in the room did." He added that some countries from the beginning of negotiations had "different views" on a treaty, including Syria, Iran and North Korea.Amnesty's Nossel accused the U.S. of raising eleventh-hour issues "and wanting more time to consult with itself," which stopped the momentum toward agreement.Despite the failure to reach agreement, Moritan predicted that "we certainly are going to have a treaty in 2012."He said there are several options for moving forward in the General Assembly which will be considered over the summer, before the world body's new session begins in September.Ambassador Jean-Hugues Simon-Michel, who led the French delegation, called Friday's result "the worst-case scenario."

"I'm
disappointed but not discouraged," he said. "The ball is now in the
court of the General Assembly but the risk is that countries may want to
start negotiations from scratch."Daryl Kimball, executive
director of the Arms Control Association, said the General Assembly
needs to decide whether to move forward with the treaty text that was
close to adoption or reopen old issues."What we have now is an
uncertain outcome that leaves in doubt the support of the major arms
exporters and importers, including the U.S. and Russia, and that needs
to be overcome," he said. "This is a delicate moment and it's going to
require real leadership on the part of key states including the European
countries, Washington and others."The powerful National Rifle
Association in the U.S. has portrayed the treaty as a surrender of gun
ownership rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. The politically
controversial issue has re-emerged since last week's shooting at a
Colorado cinema that killed 12 people.But the draft treaty reaffirms "the sovereign right and responsibility of any state to regulate and control transfers of conventional arms
that take place exclusively within its territory, pursuant to its own
legal or constitutional systems." And it states clearly that the
treaty's aim is to establish the highest standards "for regulating, or
improving the regulation of the international trade in conventional
arms" — not domestic trade.On Thursday, a bipartisan group of 51
senators threatened to oppose the treaty if it falls short in protecting
Americans' constitutional right to bear arms. In a letter to President
Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the senators
expressed serious concerns with the draft treaty that has circulated at
the United Nations, saying that it signals an expansion of gun control
that would be unacceptable.During negotiations, the United States
objected to any requirement to report on exports of ammunition, and
that remains out of the latest draft. It does call for every country to
regulate the export of ammunition.Britain has taken the lead in pushing for a treaty.Ahead
of Friday's meeting, Britain's Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg
discussed treaty prospects with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in
London and both urged the treaty's adoption."Global rules govern
the sale of everything from bananas to endangered species to weapons of
mass destruction, but not guns or grenades," Clegg said. "This anomaly
causes untold suffering in conflicts around the world. 1,000 people are
killed daily by small arms wielded by terrorists, insurgents and
criminal gangs."The secretary-general said he was disappointed at
the failure to agree on a treaty, calling it "a setback." But Ban said
he was encouraged that states have agreed to continue pursuing a treaty
and pledged his "robust" support.At
the end of the negotiating session, Mexico read a joint statement from
more than 90 countries saying they "are determined to secure an Arms
Trade Treaty as soon as possible."

In Israel, Romney declares Jerusalem to be capital
By | Associated Press – 3 hrs ago JULY 29,12
JERUSALEM (AP) — Standing on Israeli soil, U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Sunday declared Jerusalem to be the capital of the Jewish state and said the United States has "a solemn duty and a moral imperative" to block Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability."Make no mistake, the ayatollahs in Iran
are testing our moral defenses. They want to know who will object and
who will look the other way," he said. "We will not look away nor will
our country ever look away from our passion and commitment to Israel."The presidential election hovered over the speech. The Old City formed a made-for-television backdrop behind Romney, while some of his campaign donors listened in the audience.Romney's
declaration that Jerusalem is Israel's capital was matter-of-fact and
in keeping with claims made by Israeli governments for decades, even
though the United States, like other nations, maintains its embassy in
Tel Aviv.He did not say if he would order the embassy moved if he wins the White House, but strongly suggested so in a CNN interview."My
understanding is the policy of our nation has been a desire to move our
embassy ultimately to the capital (Jerusalem)," he said, adding, "I
would only want to do so and to select the timing in accordance with the
government of Israel."His remarks on the subject during his
speech drew a standing ovation from his audience, which included Sheldon
Adelson, the American businessman who has said he will donate millions
to help elect Romney to the White House.Romney's embrace of
Israel was on display throughout the day when he met with Prime Minister
Benyamin Netanyahu and other leaders. He also visited the Western Wall,
Judaism's holiest site, where he was mobbed by worshippers. In
addition, Romney met with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.In his remarks, Romney steered clear of overt criticism of President Barack Obama, even though he said the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran "has only become worse" in the past five years.In
an unspoken rebuttal to Obama and other critics, Romney said, "It is
sometimes said that those who are the most committed to stopping the
Iranian regime from security nuclear weapons are reckless and provocative and inviting war."The opposite is true. We are the true peacemakers," he said.The former Massachusetts governor also stepped back from a comment a senior aide made a short while before the speech."We
recognize Israel's right to defend itself," he told the audience.
Earlier, the aide, Dan Senor, previewed the speech for reporters, saying
that "if Israel has to take action on its own, in order to stop Iran
from developing the capability, the governor would respect that
decision."Israel is the second of three stops on an international
trip for Romney in the weeks before he claims the Republican nomination
at his party's national convention in Tampa, Fla.He flew to the
Middle East from Britain, where he caused a stir by questioning whether
officials there were fully prepared for the Olympic Games. A stop in
Poland will complete his trip.Four years ago, then-U.S. Sen.
Barack Obama also visited Israel as a candidate, part of a five-nation
trip meant to establish his own foreign policy credentials.In his
speech, Romney said Syrian President Bashar Assad "desperately clings
to power" in Damascus in the face of an attempted overthrow, but he did
not call for his removal.He noted that Egypt is now headed by an
"Islamist president, chosen in a Democratic election. ... The
international community must use its considerable influence to insure
that the new government honors the peace agreement with Israel that was
signed by the government of Anwar Sadat" more than three decades ago, he
said.A goal of Romney's overseas trip is to demonstrate his
confidence on the world stage, but his stop in Israel also was designed
to appeal to evangelical voters at home and to cut into Obama's support
among Jewish voters and donors. A Gallup survey of Jewish voters
released Friday showed Obama with a 68-25 edge over Romney.Romney
and other Republicans have said Obama is insufficiently supportive of
Israel, noting statements the president has made about settlements and
his handling of evident Iranian attempt to develop nuclear weapons.Tehran
is closer to developing nuclear weapons capability than before, Romney
said. "Preventing that outcome must be our highest national security
priority."
In a March speech before a pro-Israel lobby in Washington, Obama warned of "loose talk of war" that serves only to drive up oil prices. "Now is not the time to bluster," he said then. "Now is the time to let our increased pressure sink in and sustain the broad international coalition we have built."It was unlikely that the day's events would settle the issue.Obama's former press secretary, Robert Gibbs, told ABC's "This Week" that the administration has delayed Iran's nuclear program. The president has imposed U.S. penalties against Iran and worked to tougher strictures applied by other nations. There have been numerous published reports of a coordinated U.S.-Israeli cyberattack that caused damage to Iranian equipment vital to creating weapons-grade nuclear material.Even so, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said before the speech that "all the sanctions and diplomacy so far have not set back the Iranian program by one iota."Whatever the reality, the administration has taken steps in recent days to reassure Israel of its support.Most notably, Obama approved an increase in assistance to strengthen a missile defense system that is designed to protect Israel from rocket attacks launched from the Gaza.Senor's comments caused a stir in the hours leading to Romney's speech, a reminder of the controversy that Romney had created a few days earlier in London.
He later clarified his comments in a written statement, saying that the candidate "believes we should employ any and all measures to dissuade the Iranian regime from its nuclear course and it is his fervent hope that diplomatic and economic measures will do so. In the final analysis, of course, no option should be excluded."
Pentagon officials have spoken publicly about the difficulty of such a strike and American officials have expressed concern about the destabilizing effect such military action could have in the region, even if carried out successfully.
