Factbox: Japan's hidden nightmare scenario for Fukushima Fri, Feb 17 2012 By Yoko Kubota

TOKYO | Fri Feb 17, 2012 1:13am EST (Reuters) - Nearly a year after a huge quake and tsunami sparked Japan's Fukushima nuclear crisis, then-premier Naoto Kan is haunted by the specter of an even bigger disaster forcing tens of millions of people to flee Tokyo and threatening the nation's existence.Two weeks after the crisis in March, the head of Japan's Atomic Energy Commission drew up a worst-case scenario. It was presented to Kan, but never officially released to the public.Below are key points from the scenario document, obtained by Reuters, that was compiled by commission chairman Shunsuke Kondo and entitled Sketches of Scenarios of Contingencies at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power plant.

MULTIPLE REACTOR EXPLOSIONS, MELTDOWNS AT FUEL POOL

Multiple vapor and hydrogen explosions and a loss of cooling functions at the six reactors at Tokyo Electric Power Co's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant lead to radiation leaks and reactor failures.Thousands of spent fuel rods, crammed into cooling pools at the plant, melt and mix with concrete, then fall to the lower level of the buildings.

CHAIN OF EVENTS

In a possible domino effect, a hydrogen explosion at one reactor forces workers to evacuate due to high levels of radiation, halting cooling operations at all reactors and spent fuel pools. Reactors and cooling pools suffer serious damage and radiation leaks.

TOKYO EVACUATION

Massive radioactive contamination forces residents in a 170-km radius or further to evacuate while those in a 250-km radius or further may voluntarily evacuate.Tokyo, Japan's capital, is located about 240 km (150 miles) southwest of the plant and the greater metropolitan area is home to some 35 million people.Radiation levels take several decades to fall.

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED

The 9.0 magnitude earthquake and a tsunami exceeding 15 meters knocked out cooling systems at the six-reactor plant and meltdowns are believed to have occurred at Nos. 1, 2 and 3.Hydrogen explosions occurred at the No. 1 and No. 3 reactor buildings a few days after the quake. Radiation leaks forced some 80,000 residents to evacuate from near the plant and more fled voluntarily, while radioactive materials have been found in food including fish and vegetable and water .Reactor No. 4 was under maintenance and 550 fuel rods had been transferred to its spent fuel pool, which already had about 1,000 fuel rods. The pool caught fire and caused an explosion.
Reactors No. 5 and 6 reached cold shutdown -- meaning water used to cool fuel rods is below boiling point -- nearly 10 days after the tsunami but it took more than nine months to achieve that state at Nos. 1-3.Decommissioning the reactors will take 30 to 40 years and some nearby areas will be uninhabitable for decades.(Reporting by Yoko Kubota; Editing by Linda Sieg and Jonathan Thatcher)

U.S. Navy fears small Iranian boats, confident of own By Warda Al-Jawahiry ABOARD THE USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN | Fri Feb 17, 2012 2:58pm EST

(Reuters) - Nerves were strained as an Iranian patrol boat approached the USS Abraham Lincoln at speed.A helicopter escort hovered above the vessel in a warning not to get any closer, and the grey boat, tiny compared to the massive U.S. aircraft carrier, eventually turned around.The encounter involving U.S. and Iranian boats, common in recent weeks, underscores rising tensions in the Gulf region between rival powers since Tehran threatened to close the Hormuz Strait, the world's most important oil shipping waterway, over Western moves to ban Iranian crude exports.

U.S. and Iranian warships shadow each other as they ply the Gulf in a standoff over Iran's nuclear program the West fears is aimed at producing an atomic weapon. Many fear any incident could trigger a war.I watch it morning, noon and night. I take it (the threat to close Hormuz) very seriously. In fact it's pretty much my life these days, the commander of U.S. naval forces in the Gulf region, Vice Admiral Mark Fox, told a news conference in Bahrain ahead of the fleet's voyage earlier this week.The fleet, known as Carrier Strike Group Nine has been making forays through Hormuz despite the Iranian threats.The 10-hour voyage through the waterway on February 14 was the second time the fleet had been through Hormuz in two months. Passage is done on a need-only basis as the U.S. Navy tries to avoid escalation of hostilities or miscalculations, as a result of their crossing, U.S. officials say.With four helicopters circling overhead and two destroyers leading, the carrier entered Hormuz while up in the watch tower, some seven Navy commanding officers, intelligence chiefs and legal experts were gathered in a small but busy control room.They inspected the Gulf waters intently. The head of the fleet, Rear Admiral Troy Shoemaker, spotted two small boats, thought to be of smugglers, being battered by the high waves.It is going very well, relatively quiet. We have had a couple of surveillance aircraft, a helicopter and UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) but nothing in the way of surface activity,Shoemaker said, referring to activity from Iranian side.

The geography of the Strait, where a third of the world's seaborne oil trade passes, is challenging for a fleet of this size.The waterway is 34 km (21 miles) wide at its narrowest point, and as it sails through the Gulf, the aircraft carrier comes within range of the Iranian coastal missile defense system.Over a month ago Iran warned another U.S. aircraft carrier, the USS John C. Stennis, not to return to the Gulf after it passed through the Strait. But that has not deterred the USS Abraham Lincoln.We routinely operate close to them while we operate in the Arabian Gulf, Shoemaker said.They have ships that would come out and observe us as you would expect we would do in our territorial water back in the United States, so all those exchanges were very professional,he added.The Iranians make their presence felt every time U.S. forces cross the strait, by almost escorting the fleet either by air or using patrol boats. The U.S. in return reassesses the threat from Iran on regular basis by studying Iranian activity.

ALWAYS ON ALERT

Military experts say the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet patrolling the Gulf - which always has at least one giant super carrier accompanied by scores of jets and a fleet of frigates and destroyers - is overwhelmingly more powerful than Iran's navy.But it is the small boats that worry the U.S. Navy most. Vice Admiral Fox said last week that Iran had built up its naval forces in the Gulf and prepared boats that could be used in suicide attacks.Iran is thought to have increased the number of small boats based in the strait and around its Gulf Islands, and some boats are capable of carrying cruise missiles and rockets.Five thousand sailors live on board the 20-storey USS Abraham Lincoln. Fifteen to twenty thousand meals are prepared daily with 800 pounds of vegetables, 900 pounds of fruit and 620 pounds of hamburger consumed every day.For many of the sailors, Iran's threats were not always something they paid attention to. They often saw their mission in simpler terms.We want that oil to go where it needs to go in this world. We want people in this region to be able to get the products they can buy from Europe, from America, other regions of the world, said Naval Aviator Matt Driskill, 33, who recently flew fighter planes over Libya and over Iraq in 2004.The day after the passage, the mood on board the USS Abraham Lincoln is considerably more relaxed onboard.Fighter aircraft that have been sitting on deck over the past 24 hours with their noses pointing towards Iran and readiness to launch within 15 minutes have now been stowed.

The admiral said the same preparations are taken every time the fleet passes a narrow canal. But he admitted that the fleet can be seen as show of force.Part of the reasons we exist is to be present around the world and be visible, even if itself the carrier, the planes and everything else on board is a show of force, Shoemaker said.If Iran attacks, the United States is ready to defend, Shoemaker said.
It is certainly a possibility that they could take some actions to try and close the straits but we are prepared for that, we have the capabilities resonant in this force, in this strike group to respond if that happens.(Editing by Sami Aboudi)

Amateur video out of Syria shows tensions on the streets of Damascus.
http://www.reuters.com/video/2012/02/18/violence-comes-to-damascus?videoId=230401079&videoChannel=1

The video , which could not be independently verified by Reuters appears to show citizens coming under fire in Syria's capital city. Activists say shooting broke out at the funerals for three people killed Friday in protests against President Bashar al-Assad. The violence comes as a Chinese envoy met with Assad Saturday and urged all sides to end 11 months of bloodshed, while backing a government plan for elections. Assad describes the turmoil racking Syria as a ploy to split the country. Beijing and Moscow have been Assad's most important international defenders during the crackdown which has killed several thousand people and divided world powers. The United Nations, the United States, Europe, Turkey and Arab powers want Assad to step down and have condemned the ferocious repression. Russia and China vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution calling on Assad to quit and also voted against a similar, non-binding General Assembly resolution on Thursday. Syria's uprising began with civilian protests last March. It now includes a parallel armed struggle led by the loosely organized Free Syria Army, made up of army deserters and local insurgents. Deborah Lutterbeck, Reuters

Barak Warns: Tighten Sanctions Further on Iran-Israel warns the world to tighten sanctions even further -- to the crippling point -- on Iran. By Chana Ya'ar First Publish: 2/18/2012, 10:06 PM

Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak called on the international community Saturday to tighten sanctions even further on Iran, warning it is essential to halt the Islamic Republic's nuclear development activities.Speaking to reporters in Tokyo following meetings with Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and other Japanese officials, Barak said, I think there is consensus now in most of the world's capitals that Iran should not be allowed to become a military nuclear power.He added that at least in the West, and in North American, no option should be removed off the table in regard to dealing with the threat of Iran as a nuclear power.We feel the same, Barak said. We feel it is still a time for even more tight, ratcheted up sanctions against Iran, not only oil but sanctions against the central bank and removing its access to international clearing systems. This should be done definitively and without delay.

The defense minister noted that Saudi Arabia is ready to increase production, and that exports from Iraq are also on the rise. As a result, countries cannot hide behind the threat of losing oil from Iran in deciding whether to take action on imposing crippling sanctions, Barak said. Iran had halted oil exports to France and the Netherlands and threatened to end shipments to four other European countries, the state-run Mehr news agency reported Feb. 15. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu meanwhile commented last Thursday said sanctions imposed on Iran thus far by the international community are not working. Iran is the most irresponsible force in the world. I hope the sanctions will have an effect, but so far they have not, Netanyahu said during a state visit to Nicosia in Cyprus.Israel believes that Iran was behind a terrorist attack that last week seriously wounded the wife of an Israeli diplomat in New Delhi. Tal Yehoshua-Koren returned to Israel aboard a special ambulance plane on Saturday after giving testimony to police on Friday afternoon in India. In Georgia, terrorists also attempted to attack an Israeli diplomat but failed when the alert chauffeur stopped the car when he heard an unfamiliar noise, and discovered the explosive. A botched bomb plot in Bangkok, Thailand last week also appeared to have been aimed at Israeli diplomats as well.Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations filed a formal complaint with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon over Iran's role in all of the attacks.

Rockets Shatter Sabbath Calm in Southern Israel-Palestinian Authority terrorists fired several rocket attacks at southern Israel on the Sabbath, shattering the calm of a quiet afternoon.By Chana Ya'ar First Publish: 2/18/2012, 8:33 PM

Palestinian Authority terrorists fired a barrage of rocket attacks at southern Israel on the Sabbath, shattering the calm of a quiet Saturday afternoon.
A Grad Katyusha rocket exploded outside the city of Be'er Sheva shortly after the noon hour. The missile, fired by terrorists in northern Gaza, landed in an open area. No property damage was reported, and no one was physically injured, although a number of residents suffered anxiety and post-traumatic stress (PTSD) attacks.

Two short-range Qassam rockets were also fired in a separate attack on the western Negev, slamming into the Eshkol Regional Council district. Both landed in open areas. No property damage was reported, and no one was physically injured.On Friday there were several attacks on southern Israel by Gaza terrorists that prompted the IDF to move to high alert. One rocket reached the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council district. The other exploded in the Eshkol Regional Council district.Gaza terrorists also fired an RPG (rocket-propelled grenade) anti-tank missile at IDF soldiers patrolling near the southern border. None of the Israeli soldiers were wounded in the attack, and IDF forces responded with tank fire.

Dempsy: Israeli Strike On Iran Would Be Destabilizing FEB 18,12

An Israeli attack on Iran would be destabilizing, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, US Army General Martin Dempsey, said Saturday.It’s not prudent at this point to decide to attack Iran,Dempsey said in an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS,scheduled to be broadcast Sunday. The US government is confident the Israelis understand out concerns,he said in an e-mailed transcript. Dempsey said the economic sanctions imposed on Iran and international pressure are beginning to have an effect, without expanding further.

Syrian forces fire on anti-Assad crowd in capital ReutersBy Khaled Yacoub Oweis and Angus MacSwan | Reuters – FEB 18,12

AMMAN/BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian security forces fired on a huge protest against President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus on Saturday, soon after a Chinese envoy had appealed for a halt to 11 months of violence, opposition activists said.The shooting took place at the funerals of three youths killed on Friday in an anti-Assad protest that was one of the biggest in the capital since a nationwide uprising started.They started firing at the crowd right after the burial, said a witness, speaking to Reuters in Amman by telephone.People tried to flee and seek shelter in alleyways, he said.The opposition Syrian Revolution Coordination Union said the gunfire near the cemetery had killed one mourner and wounded four, including a woman who was hit in the head. A shopkeeper told Reuters many protesters were arrested.

At least 24 killed in Russian Caucasus fighting
ReutersReuters – FEB 18,12

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Seventeen police and at least seven insurgents were killed in four days of fighting on the border between the Chechnya and Dagestan provinces in Russia's North Caucasus, police said Saturday.The toll among government forces was the biggest in months in the region along Russia's southern border, where it faces an Islamist insurgency more than a decade after driving separatists from power in a war in Chechnya.Another 24 police and security troops were wounded in the fighting, state-run news agency RIA cited Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev as telling President Dmitry Medvedev.He said the government forces had been ambushed, but it was unclear when that happened. Other reports suggested the police were killed at various times during the fighting.Chechnya's Kremlin-backed leader Ramzan Kadyrov said on Friday seven members of an armed group had been killed, including its leader.

Russian forces fought two wars against Chechen rebels, first in 1994-1996 and again beginning in 1999.Chechnya has been rebuilt but fighting persists there and insurgents carry out nearly daily attacks in neighboring Dagestan and Ingushetia. Rights groups say heavy-handed police tactics fuel the rebellion.The insurgents based in the mostly Muslim North Caucasus have also struck with suicide bombings in Moscow, including a blast that killed 37 people at Russia's busiest airport in January 2011.(Writing by Steve Gutterman; Editing by Janet Lawrence)

Assad Unfazed by UN, Continues to Kill Civilians-At least 26 dead in Syria as Assad's forces continue to attack protesters and shell the city of Homs. By Elad Benari, Canada First Publish: 2/17/2012, 11:23 PM

Syrian President Bashar Assad’s troops, unfazed by Thursday’s UN condemnation of the crackdown on protests, continued to shell rebel-held neighborhoods in the central city of Homs on Friday, The Associated Press reported.Activists told AP that at least 13 people were killed in the attacks. They added that tens of thousands of protesters poured into the streets after Friday prayers from Daraa in the south to Aleppo and Idlib in the north and Deir el-Zour in the east to areas around the capital Damascus. The Local Coordination Committees said security forces opened fire on some protests.The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that shells slammed into the Homs neighborhoods of Baba Amr, Bayadah, Khaldiyeh and Inshaat. Amateur videos showed at least one tank shelling Baba Amr from close by.As well, two people were killed by security forces fire in Daraa and 11 others in various attacks across the country, the group said, raising the overall death toll Friday to 26. In neighboring Lebanon, security officials told AP that two Lebanese farmers were wounded in the border village of Qaa after they were hit by bullets coming from the Syrian side.

Meanwhile in Washington, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton condemned the violence and demanded that Assad step aside.Clinton noted Thursday's UN vote against Syria, but lamented that in the face of this global condemnation, the regime in Damascus, however, appears to be escalating its assaults on civilians.She added, Those who are suffering cannot get access to the humanitarian assistance they need and deserve and said the U.S. will keep working to pressure and isolate the regime, to support the opposition and to provide relief to the people of Syria.Ashton echoed Clinton’s remarks and said,We are absolutely clear that President Assad should stand aside. You cannot kill your own people.In Paris, British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nikolas Sarkozy called on the Syrian opposition to organize itself.In a joint press conference with Cameron, Sarkozy said, We cannot bring about a Syrian revolution ... if the Syrian revolution does not make an effort to rally together and organize so that we can better help them.He insisted that the revolution will not be brought about from outside, it will be brought about from the inside.Cameron said that what is happening in Syria is appalling,adding that I'm not satisfied that we are taking all the action we can.In a joint statement, Cameron and Sarkozy pledged that their countries will continue to increase their engagement with the Syrian opposition, including encouraging the opposition to work together and to support the vision of an inclusive, prosperous and free Syria.The resolution which in the General Assembly on Thursday passed with 137 nations in favor and only 12 opposed.Introduced by Egypt on behalf of 27 other countries, including Arab states, Britain and the United States, the resolution condemns systematic human rights violations in Syria.The General Assembly is expected to next demand Syria immediately adopt an Arab League blueprint to calm the uprising, to cease all violence against civilians and return security forces to their barracks.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

Classrooms Become Next Battleground for Climate Change Skeptics LiveScience.comBy Stephanie Pappas | LiveScience.com – Fri, Feb 17, 2012

For years, science classrooms have been a battleground for supporters of teaching evolution versus creationism or intelligent design. Now, teachers may be once again caught in the crossfire as a new controversial topic makes its way into education: climate change.Recently leaked documents from conservative think tank The Heartland Institute reveal plans to pay a non-climate scientist to create school curricula designed to foster doubt about the scientific evidence surrounding climate change. Meanwhile, surveys suggest that science teachers face criticism over teaching about global warming, and some states have passed legislation seeking to include anti-climate change material in the scientific curriculum.Though climate change is politically inflammatory, climate scientists are nearly unanimous that the Earth is warming and that human-created greenhouse gases are to blame. This conclusion comes from multiple lines of evidence, including climate models, observations of warming, and isotopes tracing excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere back to fossil fuels. Nevertheless, a 2011 Gallup poll with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent found that 43 percent of Americans blame natural changes for global warming, with only a small majority of 52 percent blaming human pollution.

Evolution and global warming

The climate wars have long played out in the media and on blogs, but education experts say that climate controversy is creeping into schools. What's more, they say that the new Heartland plans are from an old playbook, one used by creationists to suppress the teaching of evolution. In the same way that creationists urge schools to teach the controversy, climate change skeptics aim to sow doubt about scientific consensus, said Mark McCaffrey, the programs and policy director of the National Center for Science Education, a nonprofit that has long supported the teaching of evolution in schools and recently began to defend climate change education. [10 Creation Myths]They'll say that it's bad science, they'll say that it's just a theory, they'll say there are models that are controversial, McCaffrey told LiveScience. We see some of that kind of language and doubt that creationists use to try to play down evolution in the Heartland document.Heartland confirmed Wednesday (Feb. 15) that the documents were sent by a staffer to someone posing as a donor to the organization. The institute holds that one document, supposedly the group's climate change communication plan for 2012, is faked. However, the climate education plan is detailed in other documents, and the plan has been confirmed by James M. Taylor, a senior fellow at the institute.In an email to LiveScience, a representative for The Heartland Institute reiterated the claim that the climate change document was fake, but did not respond to questions about the climate education project.As described in the group's 2012 fundraising document, the deal would pay policy analyst David Wojick, whose doctorate is in epistemology, $25,000 per quarter to create supplementary curricula for kindergarten through 12th-grade education. The curricula would teach students that humans changing the climate is a scientific controversy,a claim climate scientists dismiss.There is no controversy on whether humans are changing the climate, Andrew Dessler, a climate scientist at Texas A&M University, told LiveScience.You could argue about how much humans are changing the climate, but most scientists agree that humans are responsible for most of the warming, so that's really where the debate is, is it 60 percent, is it 80 percent?

Climate controversy

These nuances may be lost in a political environment where the basics of human-caused climate change trigger opposition. State education standards aren't uniform on the subject of climate. In Texas and Louisiana, for example, state boards have introduced rules requiring that climate change denial be taught as a valid scientific position. Other state legislatures have introduced bills to require equal time in the classroom for climate change skepticism. [10 Significant Political Protests]Teachers apparently feel the pushback. No comprehensive national studies have been done, but a 2011 poll of its members by the National Science Teachers Association found that 82 percent had faced skepticism about climate change from students, and 54 percent had faced skepticism from parents. Many teachers who responded said they taught the controversy of climate change, presenting it as a subject to be debated rather than a scientific consensus.I'm concerned that parents will challenge the material that is included in my curriculum, wrote one middle-school teacher from Wisconsin. I focus on having students examine data and draw their own conclusions.

Setting standards

If state standards are up to par with national science standards, writing a curriculum that denied climate change would be tough, said Julie Lambert, an associate professor of science education at Florida Atlantic University.I can't even imagine what they're going to come up with,Lambert said of The Heartland Institute. It would be difficult to do.For example, Florida standards call for children to understand how scientists use data to come to a conclusion, a process crucial to the field of climate science, Lambert told LiveScience.If students could just understand Earth's energy balance and some basic physical science, they should be able to evaluate what is a valid scientific claim, Lambert added.But in many states, climate science doesn't appear in the educational standards at all, said the NCSE's McCaffrey.Each state has their own standards, sometimes districts have their own standards, in some cases teachers just ignore them and do their own thing, so there may not be accountability, he said.Some teachers avoid the subject altogether to avoid controversy, he said. Other teachers are skeptics themselves.I believe that climate change education is used to indict Western civilization of false[ly] manufactured crimes, one Ohio middle-school teacher wrote on the National Science Teachers Association survey. Most of what the general news media and the education establishment insist upon as true science is simply not.



ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION

DANIEL 12:11
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away,(AT THE 3/12 YR MARK OF THE 7 YR TRIBULATION) and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

MATTHEW 24:15-22
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:(ISRAELIS FLEE TO PETRA JORDAN)
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened,(DAY LIGHT HOURS SHORTENED FROM THE DEADLY HEAT OR OZONE DEPLETION) there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's (ISRAELS) sake those days shall be shortened.(SO ISRAELIS AREN'T BURNT TO DEATH FROM THE HEAT AND THE WORLD DICTATORS WORST PERSECUSSION IN HISTORY.EVEN WORSE THEN THE HOLOCAUST)(AND THIS FALSE POPE WILL LEAD THIS PERSECUSSION AS WELL AS THE WORLD DICTATOR)

1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:(EU)(EUROPEAN UNION)
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she (MARY) brought forth a man child,(KING JESUS) who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.(3 1/2 YRS IN PETRA JORDAN FROM THE PERSECUSSION)
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren (SATAN) is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.3 1/2 YRS LEFT TO ELIMINATE ALL JEWS FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH)
13 And when the dragon (SATAN) saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman (MARY) which brought forth the man child. (JESUS IS JEWISH)(ISRAEL PERSECUTED THE WORST IN HISTORY YET)
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time,(3 1/2 YRS IN PETRA JORDAN) from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water (PROBABLY A TSUNAMI) as a flood after the woman,(ISRAEL) that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.(KILL ALL ISRAELIS IN ISRAEL)
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.(GOD WILL PROBABLY CAUSE A GREAT EARTHQUAKE TO SWALLOW UP THE TSUNAMI WATERS)
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

AFTER THIS CHRISTIAN POPE 16TH,I BELIEVE THE NEXT ONE WILL BE PETER THE FALSE VATICAN POPE.THE DEFECTOR FROM THE CHRISTIAN FAITH.

Pope leaves stamp on Church future with new cardinals
ReutersBy Philip Pullella | Reuters – FEB 18,12

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict, putting his mark on his Church's future, Saturday inducted 22 men into the exclusive group of cardinals who will one day elect one of their own to succeed him as leader of the world's 1.3 billion Roman Catholics.Among the most prominent in the group is New York's Archbishop Timothy Dolan, who is already being touted by some Vatican experts as a possible future candidate to become the first American pope.Benedict, who turns 85 in April and is showing signs of his age, elevated the men to the highest Church rank below him at a ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica known as a consistory.Cardinals are entrusted with the service of love: love for God, love for his Church, an absolute and unconditional love for his brothers and sisters, even unto shedding their blood, if necessary (in defense of the faith), the pope told the new cardinals before giving them their rings and red birettas, or hats.Furthermore, they are asked to serve the Church with love and vigor, with the transparency and wisdom of teachers, with the energy and strength of shepherds, with the fidelity and courage of martyrs, he said.

The new cardinals are from the United States, Hong Kong, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Brazil, India, Canada, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Romania, Belgium, and Malta.Eighteen of them are aged under 80 and thus will be eligible to enter a secret conclave to elect the next pope from among their own ranks.Twelve of those are Europeans, bringing the number of cardinal electors from the continent to 67 out of 125.With the new appointments, Benedict, who was elected in a secret conclave in 2005, has now named more than half the cardinal electors. The others were named by his predecessor John Paul.Compared to the 67 cardinal electors from Europe, Latin America now has 22, North America has 15, Africa has 11, Asia has nine and Oceania has one.Cardinals are the pope's closest collaborators in the Vatican and around the world. They lead major archdioceses and run key Vatican departments that help the pope decide Church policy and doctrine that can affect the lives Catholics worldwide.

Meeting reporters after the ceremony, Dolan tried to downplay suggestions he could one day become the first American pope. Non parlo inglese, (I don't speak English), he said in Italian in response to a question, prompting roars of laughter.It's a great day for all of New York, he said, holding up the red hat the pope had given him hours earlier. This is the hat I want to put on the Empire State Building, and home plate at Yankee Stadium and on the Statue of Liberty, because this is for all of New York. It's not for me.

FIRST, BE MEN OF RELIGION, POPE TELLS NEW CARDINALS

At the ceremony, the pope told the new cardinals that while they will cooperate closely with him in the delicate task of governing the worldwide Church, they must first and foremost be men of religion.May your mission in the Church and the world always be 'in Christ' alone, responding to his logic and not that of the world, and may it be illumined by faith and animated by charity which comes to us from the glorious Cross of the Lord, he said.Benedict also asked for prayers so that he can guide the Church with a firm and humble hand.The consistory, usually a joyful event, is taking place under a cloud because it follows a spate of leaked letters alleging corruption in the Vatican.Numerically, at least, the pope has increased the chances that the next pontiff will be a conservative European but there have been surprises in past conclaves.The pope is a conservative on matters of faith and sexual morals such as birth control, homosexuality and the ban on women priests. Each time he names cardinals he puts his stamp on Roman Catholicism's future by choosing men who share his views.Besides Dolan, other prominent new cardinals are John Tong Hon, archbishop of Hong Kong, and Rainer Maria Woelki, archbishop of Berlin in the pope's native Germany.Seven of new cardinal electors under the age of 80 are Italian - six of them members of the Vatican's central administration and the other the archbishop of Florence.Popes usually reign for life but in a book last year, Benedict said he would not hesitate to become the first pontiff to resign willingly in more than 700 years if he felt himself no longer able, physically, psychologically and spiritually,to run the Catholic Church.

Several popes in recent history, including the late Pope John Paul, considered resigning for health reasons, but none did so.The last pope to resign willingly was Celestine V in 1294 after reigning for only five months. Gregory XII reluctantly abdicated in 1415 to end a dispute with a rival claimant to the Holy See.The Vatican says the pope's health is good but he needs to conserve his strength. Last October he started using a mobile platform which aides use to wheel him up the central aisle of St Peter's Basilica.(Reporting By Philip Pullella; Editing by Sophie Hares)

Google's Safari Tracking Dilemma: Reality Check
By Ian Paul, PCWorld Feb 17, 2012 8:41 AM

Google reportedly breached the privacy of millions of Apple Safari users by fooling the web browser into accepting tracking cookies it normally wouldn't take. Google, however, says this is an unhappy accident and that Google never intended to track its users in this manner.It's a classic case of he said, she said. Here's what's going on.Apple's Safari is more aggressive by default than many browsers about blocking cookies that do not originate from the site you're visiting, such as cookies served by online advertising firms. These are referred to as third-party cookies and are used by most online advertising companies and common on major websites. Google got around Safari's privacy restrictions by exploiting a loophole that allowed the search giant to install a temporary cookie if a user clicked a +1 button embedded in online advertising, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.The matter primarily affects users of iOS and OS X devices where Safari is the default browser, but it potentially affects any system running Safari, which is also available for Windows.

How Google Did it

The trick, according Journal reports, involves sticking a hidden web form inside an online ad with a +1 button, similar to Facebook likes, on it. If the user clicks on the +1 button, the web form tells Safari that the user filled out the phony form when in fact she or he had not, which allowed Google to install the cookie.When a user appears to have explicitly interacted with content on a Website, Safari allows the site to install temporary cookies that are supposed to expire after 12 to 24 hours. As a result of this workaround, Google could ten catalog a user's browsing habits for its DoubleClick advertising business, according to research by Johnathan Mayer, a graduate student at Stanford University who first discovered Google's tracking behavior.For its part, Google says it wasn't tracking people on purpose and only wanted to ascertain when a user was logged into a Google account. We used known Safari functionality to provide features that signed-in Google users had enabled, says Rachel Whetstone, Google's senior vice president of communications and public policy, in a statement to PCWorld. If you were logged in, Google could then deliver personalized advertising and perform other functions, such as sending +1's back to a user's Google+ social networking profile.However, the Safari browser contained functionality that then enabled other Google advertising cookies to be set on the browser,Whetstone says. We didn’t anticipate that this would happen, and we have now started removing these advertising cookies from Safari browsers.Google also emphasizes that its advertising cookies do not collect any personal information.

Google has also deleted language from one of its privacy policy pages that appeared to contradict its tracking practices as detailed by the Journal. Google allows you to install a browser cookie that tells the search giant not to store your browsing habits for online advertising purposes. But the company does not have a working version of this opt-out program for Safari users.The text on the page used to read: While we don't have a Safari version of the Google advertising cookie opt-out plugin, Safari is set to block all third-party cookies. If you have not changed those settings, this option effectively accomplishes the same thing as setting the opt-out cookie.Google has since removed that language from its site, but PCWorld was able to find the language in a cached version of the page dated February 14.

Common Practice by Default.

Installing third-party tracking cookies on your browser is common practice for online advertising companies. Your browsing information is then mined so the sites serve up targeted advertising that, in theory, you are more likely to click on. Given that Safari is one of the most popular mobile browsers owing to the success of iOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad, Google and other firms were handicapped by Apple's policies of disallowing third-party cookies by default. So Google, along with advertising firms such as Vibrant Media, Media Innovation Group, and PointRoll, used this workaround -- Google called it known functionality.It's not clear when this Safari loophole that enables advertising to circumvent a browser's privacy settings will be closed. Apple is reportedly working to stop this kind of activity, and the loophole has already been closed in WebKit, the open source version of Apple's Safari. The patch was created in August, and the Journal says in a blog post that the fix was made, ironically enough, by two Google engineers.Connect with Ian Paul (@ianpaul) on Twitter and Google+, and with Today@PCWorld on Twitter for the latest tech news and analysis.

Trillions in fake US bonds seized From: AP
February 18, 2012 1:38AM

ITALIAN anti-mafia prosecutors have ordered the seizure in Switzerland of fake US Treasury bonds with a face value of $US6 trillion ($A5.6 trillion) - or over a third of US national debt.The bonds were found hidden in false compartments in three safety deposit boxes transferred in 2007 from Hong Kong to Zurich and eight arrests have also been made in Italy as part of the investigation, prosecutors said.Investigators said members of a criminal network had tried to use the bonds in emerging markets or give them to banks in exchange for money.The operation was the biggest for this type of investigation, Giovanni Colangelo, the head of the prosecutor's office in the city of Potenza in southern Italy which is leading the investigation, said.Everything began with an investigation into mafia clans in the Vulture-Melfese area in the southern Basilicata region, Mr Colangelo said.The investigation has allowed detectives to uncover an international network with people implicated in numerous countries.The counterfeiting of bonds, the transfer of the deposit boxes from Hong Kong to Switzerland, the global travel (of the suspects) had an enormous cost and we think that the interests are at a high level,he said.

The seizure was by no means the first of fake US bonds by Italian authorities but by far the one with the highest face value.In September 2009, Italian police seized $US116 billion in phoney bonds and arrested two Filipino nationals carrying them at Milan's airport.In June of the same year police arrested two Japanese nationals on the Italian-Swiss border carrying bonds with a face value of $US134 billion.

Vic Toews to request probe into Twitter account
Messages include details on minister's spending habits and divorce
By Laura Payton, CBC News Last Updated: Feb 17, 2012 12:48 PM ET

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is requesting a parliamentary investigation into an anonymous Twitter account leaking alleged details of his divorce following a media report that linked the account's IP address to a Parliament Hill server. Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is requesting a parliamentary investigation into an anonymous Twitter account leaking alleged details of his divorce following a media report that linked the account's IP address to a Parliament Hill server. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press.Public Safety Minister Vic Toews will request a parliamentary investigation into a Twitter account that's being used to post his personal information and is linked to an IP address in the House of Commons.In an interview with Evan Solomon, host of CBC Radio's The House, to air Saturday, Toews says he's going to send a letter to Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer to request an investigation.The user account on the social networking site Twitter that's being used to post personal information on Toews has been linked to an IP address on Parliament Hill, the Ottawa Citizen reported Thursday night.An IP address is a unique number that identifies computers in a network, which suggests that someone who works on Parliament Hill may be posting Toews's personal information online.

No proof but allegations fly

The IP address serves anyone who works on Parliament Hill, including MPs and staff from all parties, non-partisan administrative and research staff, MPs' constituency staff accessing the network remotely and journalists. There is no wireless or public access.The newspaper report said employees working off that IP address also visited Paul Simon fan sites and updated Wikipedia articles to give them a pro-NDP bias, leading to a vicious question period Friday in which the Conservatives accused the NDP of being behind the account.Despite the wide range of people who use the IP address, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird took several opportunities to avoid answering questions, instead alleging the NDP were behind the Vikileaks30 Twitter account.Today we learned, Mr. Speaker, that the official NDP opposition have been caught in a nasty, dirty internet trick,Baird said in question period.I call on the NDP to stand up, to take responsibility for these dirty tricks, to apologize, Mr. Speaker, and to identify which one over there is responsible.NDP Whip Chris Charlton demanded Baird retract the allegations. IT staff at the House of Commons confirmed the IP addresses could belong to any member of House administration or any user from any political party, she said, and the Speaker's office is looking into it.I would call on the minister to table in this House any evidence to back up his unfounded claims and if he doesn’t have such evidence, I would like him to immediately apologize and withdraw his statements unconditionally,she said.Conservative House Leader Peter Van Loan refused to apologize, referring again to the media report.

Twitter feed set up Tuesday

The Twitter feed was set up on Feb. 14 and has already garnered more than 8,000 followers. The first tweet said it was in response to Toews's bill C-30, which would require internet service providers to turn over some customer information to police without a warrant.Messages posted on the page include details on topics such as Toews's spending habits and other more personal matters, including his divorce.Toews has faced pointed and personal criticism for leading the federal charge to pass a controversial online surveillance bill that was tabled in the House of Commons earlier this week.On Thursday, the popular social media site featured a deluge of tweets labelled #TellVicEverything.I spend a lot more work hours than I should on Twitter — but you probably already knew that,one user tweeted.With files from The Canadian Press

BRUSSELS - Berlin on Friday indicated it will give a green light to the second bail-out deal for Greece, backing down on the idea of postponing parts of the agreement until after Greek elections take place in April.German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti and Greek premier Lucas Papademos held a joint phone call on Friday (17 February) in which they said they were confident a long-postponed deal to help Greece avoid bankruptcy will be sealed off at a meeting of eurozone finance ministers on Monday, Monti's office said in a statement.The detailed and constructive phone call took place after Merkel cancelled her planned visit to Rome Friday following the resignation of the German president.EU officials in Brussels also said that the pieces are falling into place ahead of the Monday meeting, with Germany and its triple A rated allies - Finland, Netherlands and Luxembourg - backing off from the idea of a partial deal to keep pressure on Athens after the elections.They realise the two-phased approach would compromise the whole operation, one EU source told this website, as the Greek government has only ten days left to auction new bonds as part of the so-called private sector involvement (PSI) aimed at relieving Athens of some €100bn worth of debt.

Another source said that private bondholders will be discouraged from carrying out the bond swap if governments do not sign up on Monday to their share of the bail-out (€130bn). A number of safeguards will be put in place, however, to ensure that the bail-out money is used primarily to bring down the country's foreign debt.The Franco-German idea of a special account sealed off from the Greek government will be part of the deal, both sources said - a reflection of the lack of trust in the local politicians. The escrow account will also be funded by Greek tax revenues when their tax collection will start working properly so as to pay off the country's debt.
But even with the total aid of €230bn, a gap of several billion euros is emerging. According to a new debt sustainability assessment drawn up by the troika earlier this week, the bail-out will meet the target of reducing Greece's debt to 120 percent of GDP by 2020, but only to 129 percent.That is where the European Central Bank and national central banks holding Greek bonds are expected to jump in. The same assessment suggests that if the ECB was re-distribute the profits on Greek bonds to central banks and if these then decided to give them back to Greece, debt would be cut for another 5.5 percent of GDP. The rest could come by a restructuring of Greek bonds held by the central banks themselves. But all of these elements still depend on the results of the PSI, sources say.

Stronger budgetary surveillance laws up for agreement
Today FEB 17,12 @ 17:45 By Honor Mahony

BRUSSELS - EU finance ministers meeting next week are set to sign off a first agreement on laws that would strongly increase Brussels' power to instruct eurozone countries on how to spend their national budgets.Applying to the 17 members of the single currency only, the two laws require that all national budgets are presented to the commission for assessment at the same - by 15 October latest, suggests a draft of the agreement.The EU executive would have the power to ask for a revision of the budget if it considers it likely to lead a breach of the rules underpinning the euro, which bind member states to keep minimal budget deficits.The 17 would be required to put in place independent bodies and to base their national budgets on independent forecasts, a move to depoliticise the process of drawing up the budget in member states by subjecting it to technocratic eyes.Countries already breaching the budget deficit rules will have to issue regular reports to Brussels and agree a partnership programme on how to get back on the right fiscal track.Those either experiencing or at risk of severe difficulties with their finances or those already in a bailout programme will be subject to far more invasive monitoring.Essentially, they would lose the power for any kind of discretionary spending. The draft rules would entitle the commission to grill them on the content and direction of fiscal policy, while Brussels would be entitled to see sensitive information such as on the financial health of individual banks.

Bailed-out euro members would remain under this hyper-surveillance regime until they have paid back at least three quarters of the money lent to them.Much of the draft, proposed by the commission last November, is to be approved by finance ministers at their Tuesday meeting (21 February) but a clause that would have essentially forced a country to undergo a bailout programme has been removed, said a contact close to the negotiations.The laws come on top of six further budgetary surveillance laws applying to all 27 member states that came into force in December.They form part of the EU's attempt to make sure the current sovereign debt crisis will never happen again, although critics say the laws infringe on national democracy.Following the ministers' green light, the draft will then go to parliament with real negotiations between the two sides expected to come in April after the proposal has made its way through committee.One of the sticky issues will be how much these laws should encompass what is in the fiscal discipline treaty, an intergovernmental document covering much of the same area, due to be signed by EU leaders in March.If the scope of these laws is too wide, it would raise the awkward question - already to be heard sotto voce in Brussels - about the point of having the fiscal treaty at all.

EU firms join gold rush on drones
Today FEB 17,12 @ 09:16 By Andrew Rettman

BRUSSELS - EU firms have joined the gold rush on military and civilian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). But ethical and legal questions dog the technology.The global UAV market is worth $6 billion (€4.6bn) a year and will hit $12 billion by 2018, according to US forecaster Teal Group.It is not a real market. Currently, military-industrial complexes in China, Israel, the EU, Russia and the US make drones for their armed forces and sell them to close allies only. Almost half the spending is government research.But with big money at stake, some analysts predict rapid proliferation.China has made a copy of the predator - the pterodactyl. It's identified a hole in the market for attack UAVs and it plans to sell more widely. This will force everyone to sell more widely ... I've traced 51 countries which are interested in acquiring this kind of technology, but I'm sure there are more out there,Noel Sharkey - a British robotics professor who advises the military - told EUobserver.The predator was made notorious by CIA officers who sit in Nevada and launch rockets at people in Pakistan with no judicial or congressional oversight.The next step on the military side is combat drones (Ucavs) which can fly in dirty theatres of conflict - places with decent anti-aircraft defences. Another step is autonomy - drones which fire weapons based on algorithms because the human operator is too slow or cut off by electronic jamming.

One future Ucav is the Darpa Falcon - the US says it will fly at 21,000 km-per-hour and hit a target anywhere on the planet within 30 minutes of take off. Israel's Harpy already works by hovering in the air and sniffing out radar signals. If it senses one, it cross-checks a database of friendly radars then fires autonomously - even if the enemy radar is sitting on a school or hospital.On the civilian side, British police will use UAVs to observe crowds in the 2012 Olympics, while EU border control agency, Frontex, on 9 February test-flew an Israeli-made surveillance drone in Greece - the main entry-point for asylum seekers.Gunnar Holmberg, a researcher at Swedish arms firm Saab, noted that microchips are getting so light police could fly nano-drones inside buildings. It's free for the imagination, he said, in terms of UAV markets.

Sarkozy's euro-drone

Teal Group notes that US companies last year built about 1,800 drones out of the 2,600 made worldwide. European firms made 200. But almost all the big EU arms companies are building prototypes to meet future demand.The Neuron - a euro-Ucav being made by France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland - will in April do its first test drive on the tarmac. France's Nicolas Sarkozy and the UK's David Cameron in Paris on Friday (17 February) will, among other things, reveal details on Telemos, their joint effort to make a next-generation predator, designed to fly in 2018.The main problem holding back civilian sales is how to make sure UAVs do not bump into normal planes.As things stand, nobody from the European Defence Agency or from the European Commission, which have been tasked with drafting laws on how to share civilian airspace, can give a ball-park date for when they will be ready.
Another problem is that people care about their privacy.Tony Henley, an industry consultant, told this website: One minute a UAV is taking pictures of crops. But what if your wife is sunbathing topless in her garden close by? Who will protect her? The head of research at Frontex, Edgar Beugels, said he is unsure if UAVs will patrol the sky in his lifetime. But if they do, you probably won't see them, he added.The military questions are more acute.Sharkey has attracted ridicule for saying autonomous attack drones should be regulated by an international treaty - like chemical weapons or cluster bombs - because they kill people indiscriminately.

The Pope and the crossbow

Industrialists, such as Yves Robbins, in charge of marketing the Neuron on behalf of French firm Dassault, put the concerns down to fear of the unknown. When they invented the crossbow, the Pope said he would excommunicate any warrior that uses it because it's too barbaric. You get this when a new weapon comes along,he told EUobserver.When asked what he thinks of Sharkey's idea, Saab CEO Hakan Buskhe - whose firm is making Neuron's autonomous systems or brains - wrote back: The MTCR regime already exists (The Missile Technology Control Regime), which is an association of countries that share the goals of non-proliferation on unmanned delivery systems consisting of 34 countries.The MTCR is not legally binding and only covers UAVs which carry 500kg or more of munitions - a class which excludes anything on sale today.Speaking privately, some people working on Neuron do have mixed emotions.I would say thank God that intelligence services in Europe don't have enough money to run their own weapons programmes,an industry contact said, referring to CIA targeted assassinations. I don't think our politicians will let us build drones that fire by themselves,he added.

IDF on Alert Following Attacks from Gaza-The IDF has been placed on high alert, after terrorists fire anti-tank missiles at IDF force and rockets at southern Israel.By Elad Benari, Canada First Publish: 2/17/2012, 8:34 PM

Rocket and missile fire from Gaza put the IDF on high alert on Friday evening, Channel 10 News reported.According to the report, an IDF force on patrol near the border with Gaza heard an explosion heard near the border fence.An IDF statement said the explosion was from an RPG anti-tank missile that was fired at the soldiers. As additional forces arrived on the scene, the statement said, an explosion was heard from within Gaza. No soldiers were hurt. The IDF responded using tank fire.
Earlier on Friday evening, terrorists from Gaza fired two rockets towards Israeli territory, one at the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council and the other at the Eshkol Regional Council. There were no reports of physical injuries or damages.A spokesperson for IDF’s Southern Command told Channel 10 that following the attacks, IDF forces have been instructed to maintain maximum vigilance.If it is proven that this was a terror attack we will respond accordingly, the spokesperson said.Earlier this week, the IAF struck two centers of terrorist activity in northern and central Gaza. The attack came after terrorists from Gaza fired at least four rockets at southern Israel.Last weekend, a barrage of rockets were fired at southern Israel. On Saturday night, Gaza terrorists fired a short-range Qassam rocket at southern Israel. The missile landed in the Eshkol Regional Council district, in an open area.

No one was physically injured and there were no reports of property damage.On Friday night, a Grad missile attack blew open a small crater between two homes in the Hof Ashkelon Coastal Region district.A nearby electric pole was damaged, cutting power to both homes. The shrapnel also penetrated the walls of at least one of the houses as residents were sitting in theliving room enjoying the evening. By a miracle, no one was physically injured in the attack.IAF aircraft later struck three terror tunnels in southern, northern and central Gaza. A weapon manufacturing site in northern Gaza was hit as well.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York. The time posted automatically on all Arutz Sheva articles, however, is Israeli time.)

Security Officials: More Attacks Coming-Israel's Counter-terrorism Bureau warned Friday that it expects more attacks on Israelis travelling abroad, and senior officials.By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 2/17/2012, 3:17 PM

Israeli counterterrorism officials warned Friday that Iran and its terror confederate Hizbullah are plotting more attacks on Israelis abroad.It appears as though Iran and Hezbollah are currently trying to carry out attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets abroad, Israel's Counter-terrorism Bureau said.Officials said they drew these conclusion in light of the findings emerging from the questioning of detainees, arrested in relation to recent attacks.The warning called on Israelis travelling abroad to be alert, avoid taking suspicious objects from strangers, and be responsive to local security guidelines.Iran and Hezbollah are continuing to try to carry out other attacks on targets abroad, one senior official told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity. That means asking Israelis abroad to be vigilant.The official did not outline any specific threats or locations, but did say Israel has general information reflecting intent, that more attacks are coming.Noting that Iran had risked disrupting relations with countries it is on good terms with, the official said Tehran had demonstrated high motivation to hit Israeli targets.The warning comes after three separate attempts to target Israeli diplomats for assassination this week.

On Monday, a car bomb critically injured an Israeli diplomat’s wife in Delhi, while authorities in the Georgian capital of Tsbili disarmed a bomb attached to an Israeli embassy car.A botched bombing plot in Bangkok on Tuesday resulted in three Iranian nationals being arrested. One accidentally blew his legs off, one was arrested fleeing Thailand, and a third was arrested in Malaysia.Thai authorities, who have mounted a manhunt for two more Iranian suspects, say Israeli diplomats were the targets. One of the men being sought is believed to be the bomb maker.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu unambiguously blamed Iran for all three incidents. Israeli officials suspect Lebanon's Hizbullah terror group of having carried them out on Iran's behalf.Tehran denied the report and said Israel had targeted its own diplomats as a part of a psychological warfare campaign it was mounting on Iran.
Meanwhile, Hizbullah chief Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said his group doesn't bother with such small attacks, which led to speculation it has senior Israeli officials in its crosshairs.The Israeli official said Israel took Nasrallah's threats seriously.After Nasrallah's speech, senior officials are a priority target, and that is definitely why we are following everything that points in that direction,he said.

UN General Assembly Condemns Syria-The United Nations passed a non-binding resolution condemning systemic human rights violations in Syria by the Assad regime. By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 2/17/2012, 2:12 PM


The United Nations on Thursday passed a resolution on Syria condemning the brutal government crackdown on dissent by the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.The resolution passed the General Assembly - rather than the Security Council where China and Russia have thwarted moves against Syria - with 137 nations in favor and only 12 opposed.Introduced by Egypt on behalf of 27 other countries, including Arab states, Britain and the United States, the resolution condemns systematic human rights violations in Syria.The General Assembly is expected to next demand Syria immediately adopt an Arab League blueprint to calm the uprising, to cease all violence against civilians and return security forces to their barracks.Russia opposed the resolution, saying it fails to equally criticize the armed opposition mounted the Syrian Free Army that has risen up against Assad's regime in recent months.Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said resolution differs little from a draft U.N. Security Council resolution that Russia and China vetoed earlier this month.We can’t vote for that resolution, because it still remains unbalanced, Gatilov told Russian news agencies. It directs all the demands at the government, and says nothing about the opposition.Arab countries, who have called for a UN peacekeeping mission to Syria, have rejected amendments to the resolution proposed by Russia.Gatilov said a UN Security Council resolution would be required to send any UN peacekeepers to Syria.

Russia had warned that it would block any UN resolution calling for Assad to step down over his crackdown on an 11-month uprising estimated to have killed over 5,400 people.Syrian ambassador Bashar Jaafari criticized the Arab bloc during the session as being countries that do not want to help in reaching a peaceful solution for Syria.Arab League resolutions violate the sovereignty of Syria and conflict international laws … The Arab League are competing with enemies of the Arab world with its criticism of Syria, Jaafari added.What is happening in the region does not benefit any country other than Israel … We hope that the United Nations assists Syria in the face of extremism and terrorism.Assad's regime has repeatedly blamed terrorists - specifically naming al-Qaeda - for the violent episodes the country has witnessed since anti-government protests erupted last year.However, while there have been several high profile bombings in Syria that killed hundreds in recent months, the Syrian Free Army is not believed to have carried them out.Critics of Assad's regime say his intelligence forces staged the bombings as false flag operations intended to garner sympathy for the regime and justify the continued crackdown.
General Assembly resolutions cannot be vetoed and are nonbinding, but they can form populist global perceptions on major issues.

Iran shadow war intensifies, crosses borders ReutersBy Andrew R.C. Marshall and Peter Apps | Reuters – Thu, Feb 16, 2012

BANGKOK/LONDON (Reuters) - The loudest noise that Thongma Danoi had ever heard was followed 20 minutes later by the strangest sight: a dazed and bloodied Iranian carrying two wire-adorned devices through the usually sleepy Bangkok neighborhood.He was losing a lot of blood, said Thongma, 68, who saw the Iranian man, later identified as Saeid Moradi, fleeing a rented house blown apart by a massive explosion on Tuesday. People were shouting, He's got a bomb! I tried not to look at him.Minutes later, he heard another explosion, as 28-year-old Moradi reportedly threw a second bomb at a taxi that wouldn't pick him up. His rampage ended nearby, outside a school, with a third explosion that ripped off one of the bomber's legs and damaged the other so badly it had to be amputated.Israel said the Bangkok blasts were evidence of an attempted terrorist attack and blamed Iran. Tehran denied involvement.As bombings go, this week's trio of apparent attempted attacks on Israeli targets -- which also included an attack on a car carrying the wife of an Israeli diplomat in New Delhi and a bomb found attached to an Israeli diplomatic vehicle in the Georgian capital Tbilisi -- seemed unusually inept.But security experts believe they sent a clear message, the first serious retaliation for a quietly waged but increasingly bloody campaign of sabotage waged against Iran's nuclear program.

At least four Iranian nuclear scientists have been killed in recent years in attacks believed to have been carried out by or for Israel's intelligence services. While Israel invariably refuses to comment, some security analysts also suspect it has been involved in a string of major explosions at military and nuclear facilities in Iran, such as one in November that killed more than a dozen, including a senior Iranian general.Tehran denied any involvement in this week's attacks, accusing Israel of staging them itself. But there are widespread suspicions that the real intent may have been to warn the Jewish state that Iran is prepared to retaliate in kind.I see in what happened a message to the effect of: Anything you can do, I can do too,said Gad Shimron, a former Mossad field officer who writes on intelligence matters.In other words, if Israel uses terror for its security needs, it can expect reprisals from the other side.In an environment of growing tension, paranoia and fear, there is a risk of escalation fuelled by worries over Iran's nuclear program, a potential Israeli strike on Iran and a devastating wider conflict in the Gulf.
There is more and more pressure on all sides,says Anthony Cordesman, a former senior U.S. intelligence and defense official and now chair of strategy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the Washington D.C.-based think tank. All of them are interacting now in ways that make it harder and harder to anticipate the actions of each other.

MIRROR IMAGE ATTACK

While some Western officials say it is too soon to blame Tehran for this week's attacks, security analysts point to growing circumstantial evidence. Thai authorities said similar magnetic bombs were used in New Delhi, Tbilisi and Bangkok.
While they did not blame Iran directly, they said the two other men arrested in relation to the Bangkok blasts -- one in the Thai capital and the other in Kuala Lumpur airport in Malaysia as he bought a ticket to Tehran after fleeing Thailand -- were also Iranian.The attack in Delhi -- in which a motorcycle attacker attached a magnetic or sticky bomb about the size of an iPad to an Israeli diplomatic vehicle -- appeared to be a virtual mirror image of the lethal January 11 attack on Iranian scientist Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan in Tehran traffic.Indian police say they have yet to track down the young man in a leather jacket riding a red motorcycle who eyewitnesses said attached the device before racing away. But they said they were investigating phone calls made to foreign numbers from the immediate area just after the attack, particularly four calls made to Iran, Lebanon and Pakistan.Tal Yehoshua-Koren, the wife of Israel's defense attache to Delhi was injured in the attack. If the bomber had attached the device to the side of the car with the petrol tank, its occupants would have been less likely to survive, police said.Iran has long used proxy groups such as Lebanon's Hezbollah and Hamas in the Palestinian territories to attack its enemies overseas, and intelligence experts believe they may have done so again in this case. Tehran's relationship with Hamas has frayed in recent years, but Iran remains close to Hezbollah.

Other analysts believe the culprits may be members of Tehran's hardline Revolutionary Guard, perhaps from the Quds Force, believed responsible for extraterritorial operations.Conspiracy theories are rife . Some even point to the possibility that Israel itself might have orchestrated the attacks to damage Iran's relationship with key Asian powers particularly India, a current main purchaser of Iran's oil.The situation is getting worse and worse and it of course provides a good excuse for anyone who wishes to engage in real hostilities,said Farhang Jahanpour of Oxford University's Faculty of Oriental Studies.

SHADOWY PROXY GROUPS

For most analysts, however, these attacks plus an alleged plot last year to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States -- which U.S. authorities say they thwarted -- suggest Iran is now taking new risks or has signaled its proxies may do so.We are now seeing evidence of Iranian willingness to go after foreign targets in a way that has not been that much in evidence before, says Nigel Inkster, a former deputy chief of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), now at London's International Institute for Strategic Studies.Whether we're talking about the Iranians themselves or proxies such as Hezbollah, it is very difficult to know. It's also not clear whether they are acting on direction from the top or have simply been given the impression they (now) have greater flexibility.The relative ineptitude of the attacks suggests Tehran wanted to send a message rather than inflict heavy casualties.The Iranians aren't interested in a truck-bomb-level attack on an Israeli embassy because that could provoke a conflict, said Paul Quaglia, director of security consultancy PSA Asia and a 20-year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency.But they're upset about having ... nuclear scientists hit. Farming out these low-level bomb attacks against diplomats is the next best thing.Israel too is also suspected of using a range of shadowy local resistance groups in Iran. Some of their members may not be aware of who they are ultimately working for, a technique known as false flagging.Several reports suggest Israeli agents may have impersonated their US counterparts in recruiting or directing members of the People's Mujahideen of Iran -- often known by its initials MEK -- or Jundallah, a group sometimes linked to al Qaeda that is based largely in the province of Baluchistan.There is some evidence that this has been happening,said former MI6 deputy chief Inkster. It may be one of the things that has soured the relationship between Israel and the US. The false flag issue always makes things more complicated.

LESSONS OF HISTORY

The United States denies any involvement in the lethal attacks within Iran -- even issuing a rare condemnation of the January car bomb killing.One Gulf security source told Reuters he believed U.S. agencies were directly involved in some attacks, working alongside MEK. U.S. officials have denied such suggestions, saying they would never work with the resistance groups partly because they were suspected to have been infiltrated by Iranian intelligence.Former and serving U.S. and other Western officials say the CIA does not have the authorization -- or finding -- from the White House to conduct lethal attacks within Iran, although few doubt they are involved in a wide range of other intelligence operations.While the emerging shadow war might escalate in the months to come, not everyone believes it heightens the risk of a wider conflict that the United States, Iran and Israel are keen to avoid.
But the lesson of history -- particularly 1914, when the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand in a Sarajevo sidestreet sparked a world war -- is that mistakes can happen.Everyone here is used to playing the long game," says former U.S. official Cordesman, saying he believed outright war was still likely to be avoided. But you can still have someone on a street corner in the middle of nowhere... who sparks something that changes the course of history."
