REBUILT 3RD TEMPLE (THE EU DICTATORS TEMPLE)

ISAIAH 30:10-15
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

REVELATION 11:1-2
1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

DANIEL 9:27
27 And he( THE ROMAN,EU PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:(1X7=7 YEARS) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3 1/2 yrs in TEMPLE SACRIFICES STOPPED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

REBUILT 4TH TEMPLE (THE TRUE MESSIAHS TEMPLE)

ZECHARIAH 6:12-13
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

ISAIAH 60:9-10
9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

ISAIAH 2:1-5
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

MARK 11:9-10,15-17
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Animal rights groups against Passover sacrifice ,Movement threatens to take legal action against Jerusalem municipality, Jewish leaders planning to publicly slaughter animals ,Kobi Nahshoni Published: 04.02.08, 06:54 /Israel Jewish Scene

The Temple movements' intention to hold a public slaughter of the Passover sacrifice was slammed by the animal rights movement, Let Animals Live.The activists demanded that the event's coordinators cancel their plans, and sent letters to Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski, and to the Director of the Temple Institute, Yehuda Glick, threatening to sue if their demands were not met within 24 hours.

Kosher Slaughter

Jewish slaughter in danger, chief rabbi tells importers / Neta Sela

Rabbi Metzger initiates meeting with meat importers, asks them to pressure slaughterhouses in South America to adopt boxing method which does not cause animals undue distress.The koshering organizations are under attack, and Jews are presented as cruel people,he warns.According to Let Animals Live director, Reuben Ladianski, the law states that it is prohibited to abuse or torture animals, including slaughtering them in a cruel manner.Any use of animals for educational purposes must be approved by the committee for animal experimentation,Ladianski said.And the law states that permission will not be granted if the goal of the experiment can be reached in other, more humane ways.In his letters, Ladianski warned that the maximum penalty for infringement of this law is three years in prison. He also mentioned the halacha, which prohibits animal abuse, and cited halachic rulings dealing with the correct treatment of animals. In his letter to the mayor Ladianski writes, Performing a public act in which an animal is sacrificed, when one can just as easily use a dummy, is wrong and unnecessary.Before we assume legal action we request that you notify us within 24 hours that you have received this letter and do not plan to allow this slaughter in Jerusalem's jurisdiction.Eti Altman, one of the founders of the Let Animals Live movement, told Ynet that in her opinion, The event is pointless and suitable only for unenlightened countries.Apart from the fact that it constitutes abuse, the slaughter of animals before an audience is liable to threaten their sense of humanity, and may deepen the rift between religious and secular communities.

Animal Sacrifices in Israel -- Past & Future
by Dr. John C. Whitcomb

Though commanded by God, animal sacrifices in Israel could never remove spiritual guilt from the offerer. The Book of Hebrews is very clear about that (10:4,11). But it is equally erroneous to say that the sacrifices were mere teaching symbols given by God to prepare the nation for Messiah and His infinite atonement. Such a view is contradicted by precise statements in Exodus and Leviticus. From God's perspective, this was surely a major purpose in the sacrificial system; but it could not have been their exclusive purpose from the perspective of Old Covenant Israelites.The Scriptures tell us that something really did happen to the Israelite offerer when he came to the right altar with the appropriate sacrifice; and he was expected to know what would happen to him (e.g., that it may be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf,Lev. 1:4). What happened was temporal, finite, external, and legal -- not eternal, infinite, internal, and soteriological. Nevertheless, what happened was personally and immediately significant, not simply symbolic and/or prophetic.Now what does all of this indicate with regard to animal sacrifices in the Millenial Temple for Israel under the New Covenant? It indicates that future sacrifices will have nothing to do with eternal salvation which only comes through the true faith in God. It also indicates that future animal sacrifices will be efficacious and expiatory only in terms of the strict provision for ceremonial (and thus temporal) forgiveness within the theocracy of Israel. Such sacrifices, then, will not be primarily memorial (like the bread and the cup in church communion services), any more than sacrifices in the age of the Old Covenant were primarily prospective or prophetic in the understanding of the offerer.

Though the Kingdom Age will begin with only regenerated citizens (cf. Matt. 25:34), the vast majority of people born during the Kingdom Age will remain unbelievers (Rev. 20:7-9). Thus, millennial nations will increasingly need the protection from the immediate wrath of a holy God that animal sacrifices will provide in accordance with their divine design and function in the Mosaic Law. Ezekiel foresaw, by the Spirit of God, that there will be the sin offering, the grain offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel(45:17). And Jeremiah foresaw that the Levitical priests shall never lack a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to prepare sacrifices continually(33:18).How can vital spiritual instruction be accomplished for citizens of the millennial Kingdom age through a system of animal sacrifices? If it is theoretically possible (though sadly rare) for the Church today to achieve a spiritual, symbolic, and pedagogic balance in the use of bread and cup in the Eucharist, then it will be all the more possible for regenerated Israel to attain the divinely intended balance between form and content, lip and heart, hand and soul, within the structures of the New Covenant. It is not only possible, but prophetically certain, that millennial animal sacrifices will be used in a God-honoring way (e.g., Ps. 51:15-19; Heb. 11:4) by a regenerated, chosen nation before the inauguration of the eternal state when animals will presumably no longer exist.Before the heavens and the earth flee away from him who sits upon the Great White Throne (Rev. 20:11), God will provide a final demonstration of the validity of animal sacrifices as an instructional and disciplinary instrument for Israel. The entire world will see the true purpose of this system. Of course, the system never has and never will function on the level of Calvary's Cross, where infinite and eternal guilt was dealt with once and for all. But the system did accomplish, under God, some very important pedagogical and disciplinary purposes for Israel under the Old Covenant (Gal. 4:1-7). There is good reason to believe that it will yet again, and far more successfully from a pedagogical standpoint, function on the level of purely temporal cleansing and forgiveness (cf. Heb. 9:13) within the strict limits of the national theocracy of Israel during the one thousand years of Christ's reign upon the earth in accordance with the terms of the New Covenant.

A Rabbi Greets The Pope In Rome, En Route To Jerusalem,Religious Leaders Talk Ahead Of Pope’s Visit By David Bedein, Middle East Correspondent Thursday, April 02, 2009

Jerusalem — A leading Israeli rabbi is speaking out on the sensitive discussions between the Israeli rabbinate and the Vatican in anticipation of Pope Benedict XVI’s May visit to the Holy Land and about his own connections to Jerusalem.Rabbi Shear Yashuv Cohen, who serves as the chief rabbi in the northern port city of Haifa and dean of Israel’s institutions of rabbinical education, has been part of the Israeli dialogue and says many concerns remain as the date of the Pope’s visit nears.The rabbi said the discrete talks between the two sides have focused on issues such as the Pope’s general reinstatement of the Tridentine Mass and especially with regard to the Good Friday prayer for the Jews’ conversion and sainthood for Pope Pius XII, the Pope during World War II.Pope John Paul II allowed the Tridentine Mass and the Holy Week rites that were customary during the time of Pope John XXIII in the early 1960s —including the traditional prayer for the Jews conversion — to be used with permission of the local bishop in 1988, but Pope Benedict XVI eliminated the requirement of having to receive a bishop’s permission to use the pre-Vatican II rites in 2007.

Following Vatican II, the Roman Catholic Church eliminated an explicit call for God to convert the Jews from its Good Friday liturgy.The status of Pius XII, he said, remains a thorny issue for the rabbis in their discussions with the Vatican, as did the issue of several clerics who denied the Holocaust.We refer to him as the Holocaust Pope,said Rabbi Cohen.Although he may have helped individual Jews, he did not fulfill his role to protest the mass slaughter of Jews. Rabbi Cohen expressed the view that if the Vatican does claim that Pope Pius XII did extraordinary things to help the Jews during the war, then the Vatican should open its archives to provide documentation of such.Rabbi Cohen said he requested the opportunity to visit Rome and discuss these issues directly with the Pope and other senior Vatican officials.

The rabbi received that opportunity last October when the Vatican gave him an unprecedented opportunity to address a gathering of Catholic bishops on the topic of the Holy Scriptures.He described how the Pope entered the hall with him, arm-in-arm, where he gave a lesson on subject on how portions of the Torah (Old Testament) have been integrated into Jewish prayers. While looking at the Pope during his teaching, Rabbi Cohen noticed the Pope had closed his eyes in an intense meditation, holding his hands to his head.After his address, Rabbi Cohen expressed his aforementioned concerns.We hope that the present leadership will not take any steps that would cause pain to those who have survived the Holocaust,Rabbi Cohen told the Pope and the assembled Catholic bishops.

He said the response was surprisingly positive.

I have a feeling that this made the Vatican rethink the whole matter and that this played a role in the decision not to beatify Pope Pius XII,a discussion of which was scheduled for two days after Rabbi Cohen’s fall visit.The Vatican made it clear to Rabbi Cohen, on the record, that the Pope would make every effort to continue a process of dialogue and reconciliation that reached its peak at the time of the visit of Pope Paul II in Jerusalem, in March 2000.Three weeks ago, Rabbi Cohen was again invited to Rome, where he led a delegation of rabbis who will form the welcoming committee for the Pope in Jerusalem. Pope Benedict XVI used the rabbi’s second visit to Rome to clarify that a mishap had occurred when he lifted the excommunication of traditionalist Bishop Richard Williamson of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) who has been on record as denying the Holocaust. The Pope told Rabbi Cohen that he should have checked the Internet about the bishop before lifting the excommunication that had been leveled against him by his predecessor, John Paul II.Rabbi Cohen said the Pope went out of his way to make it clear the Vatican would never question Israel’s sovereignty, nor challenge its rights to rule over the Old City of Jerusalem. Between 1949 and 1967, the Old City remained under Jordan’s Islamic rule, and Jews were barred from entering it.He said both himself and other Israeli rabbis are open to Pope Benedict’s idea of establishing an inter-religious council where all of the religions represented in the Holy City could be called together to discuss both the practical and spiritual aspects of Jerusalem’s present and future.The rabbi also discussed the warm interpersonal relations that developed between the rabbis and the Vatican officials.

The chemistry that developed between the Jerusalem rabbinic leadership and the leading figures of the Vatican led to the logical conclusion that they should have lunch together at the one kosher restaurant in Rome. Italian eyebrows were raised when half a dozen rabbis with black skullcaps and half a dozen Catholic cardinals with red skullcaps sauntered into the restaurant to order a kosher lunch. The rabbi also divulged his long personal connection with Jerusalem, where he will accompany the Pope in May, which has included numerous remarkable events.In May 1948, Rabbi Cohen was an 18-year-old seminary student who was shot in the Old City during the bloody fighting, in the cobblestone paths of old Jerusalem.Rabbi Cohen said he was taken to an improvised clinic of the Armenian convent near the Jewish Quarter, where Armenian clerics had treated his wounds and saved his life.Carried out on a stretcher to a Jordanian prison camp, Rabbi Cohen was the last Jewish civilian to leave the old city of Jerusalem before the Arabs ransacked the Jewish quarter and burnt all 57 synagogues inside the walls of the ancient Jerusalem.In 1967, after Israel gained control over the ancient old city of Jerusalem, Rabbi Cohen was the first Jewish civilian allowed back into Jerusalem, and in that capacity he served at the time as the deputy mayor of Jerusalem. Later in October 1994, Rabbi Cohen was invited to give the benediction at the Jordan-Israel peace treaty ceremony. During the Pope’s visit, 60 years after he returned from Jordanian captivity, Rabbi Cohen will have the honor of accompanying the Pope through the pathways of the city of Jerusalem that remains Holy to three great religions of God.David Bedein can be reached at bedein@thebulletin.us

THE SANHEDRINS VIEW OF THE POPE IN ISRAEL ON MAY.

On the transfer of national, religious, and spiritual assets to foreign sovereignty Rosh Hodesh Nissan, 5769 Letter from the Beit Din of the Sanhedrin

To the President of the State of Israel
To the Incoming Prime Minister Mr. Binyamin Netanyahu
To the Outgoing Prime Minister Mr. Ehud Olmert
Ministers and Members of Knesset

To the esteemed heads of state,

I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, they shall never hold their peace day nor night: You that make mention of the LORD, take no rest, And give Him no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.The LORD has sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength: Surely I will no more give thy corn to be food for thy enemies; and the sons of strangers shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast labored. Isaiah 62:6-8

Regarding the upcoming visit of the Pope

During the Lag B’Omer season, Pope Benedict XVI is expected to visit the holy sites of his religion and to put forward a series of agreements between the Vatican and the State of Israel. We would like to call your attention to the Sanhedrin’s stance on this subject. The State of Israel grants freedom of worship to every religion except the Jews on their most sanctified site, the Temple Mount: there, they are granted neither freedom of prayer nor minimal freedom of religion. The State of Israel thus contradicts the purpose for which it was established and undermines its own foundations.In contrast the State of Israel makes special efforts to transfer its national, religious, and spiritual assets to the sons of strangers. For many years negotiations and contacts to reach agreements have been conducted regarding what the Catholic Church sees as its property or desires for itself, whether within previous confines such as Mt. Zion or within the Old City, the Kinneret, and other places. Those who initiated the concept of the Holy Basin principally intend to remove exclusive Jewish sovereignty from the Temple Mount and the Old City and in effect, aim at the total removal of Jewish sovereignty. We expect you to be particularly watchful regarding Jerusalem as Passover approaches lest our right hand forget its skill.The government of Israel, as a Jewish government, must heighten awareness of the freedom of the Jewish people more than ever on the holiday of Passover.

The State of Israel is also subject to the deed of ownership – the Bible - according to which it claimed ownership of the land at its very establishment. Therefore the government must actualize Jewish sovereignty in Jerusalem, the city of God, the royal city, capital of Israel, heart of the world, and it must guarantee the right of worship and prayer of Jews on the Temple Mount and realize the obligation of Jews to bring the Passover sacrifice on the 14th of Nissan on the eve of Passover, this year and every year. The Passover sacrifice redeems Israel from spiritual excommunication and distinguishes between Israel and the nations [Ex. 12: 27,43], and it is a shield and protection against all of the unfounded demands of foreign nations to take possession of the land of Israel along with us [Ex. 13] It should be noted that the third President of the State of Israel, the late Zalman Shazar, found the courage in 5723[1963] when Pope Pius IV visited Israel to read him the verse from the Prophet Micha, chapter 4: For let all the peoples walk each one in the name of its god, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever. Israel’s Chief Rabbis at that time protected the honor of Israel and refused to meet the pope. In 5760 [2000] Pope John Paul II visited Jerusalem. During his visits attempts were made by various agents to remove Israeli sovereignty from the Temple Mount, in an effort to demonstrate the sovereignty of a foreign rule and to allow the visit to take place without the presence of any representative of Israel on the holiest site of Judaism. These attempts failed because of vigorous public objections. The Rabbi of the Holy Sites and of the Kotel, Rav Shmuel Rabinovitz, has demonstrated commendable behavior in refusing to stop Jewish prayer at the Kotel during the present Pope’s visit, which is scheduled for Lag B’Omer.

The speedy reconciliation with the Pope after a series of unfortunate statements that he made against us does no honor to the People of Israel. All of the political and Torah authorities must do whatever they can to prevent the signing or holding of any agreement that deviates from the spirit of this document and must express their disapproval at the Catholic Restorationist trends whose aim is to nullify the sovereign power of the State of Israel and the status of the Jewish People, the People of Israel in the Land of Israel, its holy land. Please clarify your position to your people, to the State, and to the entire world. Show respect for the God of your forefathers, your city, and your nation and do not act grovel submissively before foreigners and disparage the stature of the people of Israel. In these difficult days we face a danger from Iran and the entire region working together with the seventy nations of the world, pushing us to continue to retreat. This only diminishes Jews, the nation, and the State of Israel and does irreversible damage to our deterrent power. Let all of the nations of the world see that My name is called upon you, and they shall fear you. Ever since the liberation of Jerusalem as a unified city by the Israeli Defense Forces in 5727 [1967] the nations and religions of the world have not reconciled themselves to the sovereignty and restoration of the Jewish people in their eternal capital where the Temple will eventually be rebuilt to serve the God of Israel, God of the world, and a king of Israel will again rule, a descendant of King David.Especially ever since the Oslo Accords in 5753 [1993], the Vatican acting as a state with theological views, signed a series of secret documents[1] with various agents in the State of Israel - behind the back of the citizens – These agents are totally devoid of any respect for the spiritual and diplomatic status of the Jewish people, and their main goal is to transfer Jewish national assets in Jerusalem to the hands of foreigners and to promote measures that will undermine the religious and political ownership of the People of Israel over their holy sites: first and foremost, the Temple Mount, the Kotel, and the entire Old City of Jerusalem, transferring them to the Vatican and international agents, which will inevitable seize them territorially from the State of Israel . Thus, too, is the plan for other sites in our holy land.

The Beit Din of the Sanhedrin declares that the representatives of the State of Israel may represent the Jewish People as long as they are acting as representatives of the Jewish People over history in accordance with its tradition and laws. Insofar as this is not the case, their representation is not legitimate. These representatives, even if they are acting in the manner of the kings of Judah Hezekiah and Zedekiah who showed the treasures of the Holy Temple to the agents of foreign powers, are not authorized to transfer ownership or absolute tenancy to lands and buildings in the Land of Israel to any foreign religious or political agent.

Therefore all of the documents which were drawn up by such representatives with the Vatican as a theological and diplomatic agents in opposition to the spiritual essence of the People of Israel are void. All of the agreements with the Vatican which have been made or will be made in this spirit are null and void and the Vatican should not believe that they will retain them. The Vatican as the head of all Christian church is responsible for the legacy of Rome which occupied Jerusalem, dispossessed its Jews, and destroyed their land. All of the Christian churches currently standing in Jerusalem are the product of the destruction of the Jewish people, their dispossession and exile to the Christian exile which Christianity glorifies in as being everlasting. This is in addition to the priceless treasures, both material and spiritual, belonging to the Jews which lie in the cellars of the Vatican, and the countless synagogues all over the world which were confiscated by the Vatican and its representatives and never returned to their rightful owners. Anyone who negotiates and signs any agreement to change the status of the State of Israel in its holy sites in Jerusalem and the Land of Israel is raising his hand against the Torah, against his own faith, his people, his land, against his own homeland and against the home of his fathers.There is a strict prohibition against approving any agreement that transfers state ownership to foreigners, and this has been set forth in the criminal code of the State of Israel. Continuing to seek favor in the eyes of the Church by making illegal agreements might end, God forbid, in devastating religious wars all over the world.

Fiji devalues currency by 20 per cent Wed, 15 Apr 2009 03:18:03 GMT
Author : DPA Category : Business

Wellington - The central bank of Fiji, where the military government rules under emergency powers, devalued its currency by 20 per cent on Wednesday, warning citizens that the move would increase inflation. A statement from the Reserve Bank in the capital Suva said a rise of about 20 per cent in the Fijian dollar's value over the last year was unsustainable and the devaluation was needed to lift exports and boost tourism. Both sectors are critical to the Fijian economy which has been hard hit since a military coup overturned the elected government in December 2006.The governor of the Reserve Bank, Savenaca Narube, was sacked on Tuesday after predicting that the economy was worsening and his deputy, Sada Reddy, was appointed to the position Wednesday.The bank statement said inflation was expected to rise immediately but would subside in the next 12 months.The Reserve Bank is asking all sections of Fiji's community to bear the burden of adjustment so that our economy can recover quickly and start to generate much needed employment,the statement said.

Displaced Christians want pope to help them return By DIAA HADID, Associated Press Writer – Tue Apr 14, 5:19 am ET

BIRAM, Israel – Displaced during war decades ago, the Christians of Biram have never given up their dream of returning to this destroyed village in the hills of northern Israel. They still hold Easter rites, weddings and funerals in a stone church, the only building left standing.Now, they are pinning their hopes on Pope Benedict XVI, who is visiting the Holy Land in May.Biram's former residents and their descendants, some 3,000 Catholics altogether, are asking their spiritual leader to speak for them. They were driven out of during the 1948 Mideast war that surrounded Israel's creation. Most Israeli leaders who dealt with Biram's case refused their repatriation, fearing it would set a precedent for millions of Palestinian refugees seeking to return to former properties.But the villagers argue their case is different because their hamlet was bombed years after the war ended, and that a 1952 court case paved the way for them to return.This pope must say the truth, said parishioner Edmond Rawis, 79, pointing toward where his house once stood.The villagers say they have written to the Vatican's ambassador in Jerusalem, Archbishop Antonio Franco. The ambassador said he is aware of the issue, but has not received a letter and does not know whether the pope will discuss Biram with his Israeli hosts.

Only Biram's church, the cemetery and the ruins of an ancient synagogue are still standing. Descendants return here to worship, marry, baptize their children and bury their dead in crypts that eerily resemble homes.On April 5, Palm Sunday, dozens of people holding candles and flowers sang and walked around the church before gathering inside. Women clambered up cobblestone stairs in high-heeled shoes and pantsuits. Giggling girls in white dresses tried to pull the heavy church bell rope as boys ran around, shrieking.Inside the small church, they sang hymns in Arabic and Aramaic, a language spoken at the time of Jesus. Biram's Christians belong to the Maronite church, which prays in Aramaic but follows the pope in Rome.During the 1948 war, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes, and their villages were either destroyed or left to deteriorate. Most fled to neighboring Arab countries, but some, like those of Biram, remained within Israel's borders and became citizens.Israeli forces expelled Biram's 1,000 villagers during the fighting, according to Adoram Schneidleder, an Israeli postdoctoral student studying the area's history. Some left for nearby Lebanon, but most stayed within Israel's newly created borders, mostly in the nearby Arab-Israeli village of Jish.For decades, the villagers have lobbied successive Israeli governments to return, meeting only rejection — except for a short-lived effort in the 1990s. Then, the Israeli government headed by Yitzhak Rabin offered restitution to a few of Biram's descendants on a small chunk of their ancestral lands.As they tried to negotiate a better deal, Rabin was assassinated in 1995 by a Jewish ultranationalist. Discussions were frozen, said Ran Cohen, a left-wing parliamentarian involved in government discussions.They have largely shelved their attempts in recent years as Israel lurched toward right-wing governments unsympathetic to their cause. But they say there's a chance to revive their issue if the pope leans his significant diplomatic weight on officials here.

In 2000, the pope's predecessor, John Paul II, asked then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak to resettle them in Biram, villagers say they were told by local Catholic officials at the time.An Israeli Foreign Ministry official, Yigal Palmor, said the issue should be pursued in the country's courts, and not through political lobbying.In 1952, the high court ruled that the eviction from Biram was not entirely legal, but military authorities then retroactively issued eviction notices, according to historians. Biram residents argue that the ruling opens the door for their return.In 1953, Israeli warplanes bombed Biram in an attempt to discourage the villagers from returning. Surviving residents said they wept and wailed as they watched bombs smash their homes from a nearby hilltop. Biram's church and the 3rd-century synagogue's ruins are now part of a national park that is a popular hiking destination. A sign at the park's entrance provides information on the synagogue but makes no mention of the Christian village or the area's modern history. In the nearby graveyard, Biram's dead are buried in crypts, fenced off from nearby grazing cows. Some are built like homes, with red-tile roofs overlooking blue-green hills. Israeli authorities have not objected to their quiet repossession of the cemetery, said a villager, Kamel Yakoub.
It's the liveliest place in Biram,Yakoub said.

THE FINAL PLUCKING OF AMERICA’S FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC SOVEREIGNTY
By Joan Veon April 13, 2009 NewsWithViews.com

Believe as you will about the 2008 Credit Crisis but if you fail to recognize that the final pieces of America’s financial and economic sovereignty are being transferred in the name of finding a global solution to the crisis, then you will have believed those who intend to steal your assets next, as well as your freedom.

How could America’s financial sovereignty be plucked from her both at the domestic and international levels? It is not because of a five or even twenty-five year plan but one that may be hundreds of years old. This plan, I’m sure, did not happen all at once but took time to evolve. It is a diabolically brilliant strategy in its scheming. In order to understand, we need to review how the credit crisis will lead to the total transfer of America’s sovereignty.[Read The Coming Battle published in 1899, written by a man born before the civil war, predicting a battle between the people and the moneypower for freedom]First came the rise of a novel idea whereby the government would borrow from a private corporation, and pay a perpetual interest. The private corporation, known as a central bank, got its roots in 1688 from the Swedish, and then went to the Dutch and then the British. The core of the idea was for governments to borrow indefinitely without having to pay down the principal. When the newly founded colonies broke from the British, it was Alexander Hamilton who convinced George Washington that a central bank would be good for America, also. Years later, in 1833, President Andrew Jackson closed the Second National Bank (America’s central bank) routing out the power of its foreign investors and returning our government to sound money. It was not until 1913 that a central bank would be reestablished in America transferring the power to coin money from Congress to the Federal Reserve.Not without its own amount of chicanery and deceit did the Federal Reserve Bank come to pass. Other central banks were created as well. No one really knows who owns the Federal Reserve or the other central banks of the world. However, thanks to Prince Andrew’s series of documentaries about his forefathers, we now have proof that King William was the largest investor, £10,000, in the Bank of England in 1694. Might it be presumptuous to consider that if the British royal family invested in the Bank of England, they have probably invested in many other central banks since then to increase their wealth?

The Federal Reserve is not federal and it has no reserves. Money is printed on demand to lend to the American government. The Feds maintain their rights to charge us interest on the newly printed Federal Reserve Notes.Secondly, we have to understand that all the barriers between the countries of the world have fallen except one; the regulatory barrier. In 1944, the economic and financial barriers between countries fell with the establishment of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The political barriers fell with the creation of the United Nations in 1945; the trade barriers were removed in 1944 with the creation of the World Trade Organization; the legal barriers came down with the creation of the International Criminal Court in 1998; the military and intelligence barriers fell on September 11, 2001 with the attack on the World Trade Center in NYC. We are connected just as Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama have said. It should be noted that each of the global institutions have been busy setting up an infrastructure of their own since their respective inceptions. Please visit their websites.Thirdly, to integrate the world from a regulatory standpoint does not make sense if there was no reason, to. The 1994United Nations Development Programme Report explains all of the missing pieces of world government, which include an Economic Security Council, a World Central Bank, new credit facilities for the World Bank, increased Special Drawing Rights for the IMF, and a World Anti-Monopoly Authority. They specifically state: It will probably take some time and probably some international financial crisis—before a full-scale World Central Bank can be created(p.84). The last three were created at the G20 meeting.

Fourthly, we need to understand that the Treasury Blueprint for a Modernized Financial Regulatory System introduced by former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson in March, 2007, calls for the complete shift of America’s financial and economic national sovereignty to the care and oversight of the Federal Reserve, independent of Congress. The Blueprint, when issued, received the approval of then New York Federal Reserve President Timothy Geithner, now our imminent treasury secretary. Has Obama changed the Blueprint? No, it is just tweaked here and there. The Blueprint calls for a new Federal Bank Charter which would put under Federal Reserve control financial institutions that are currently not regulated by them: savings and loans, credit unions, state chartered banks, and credit unions; it would provide for the insurance industry currently regulated on a state by state basis to be also put under federal control with Federal Reserve oversight; and it calls for the mortgage industry, which has not had any oversight, to be put under Federal Reserve oversight. There are calls for the Federal Reserve to have oversight over the entire Payment and Settlement system of Wall Street and for the Fed to act as Market Stability Regulator.While there were concerted steps that helped to create the credit crisis, i.e.: Clinton’s Community Reinvestment Act of 1994, the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, and 45 year low interest rates as a result of 9/11 in 2001. All of these were major steps to create the right circumstances to transfer control over America’s financial and economic wealth.Fifthly, in October 2008 Congress gave a blank check to Hank Paulson to use powers and money that Congress appropriated to help fix the problem. Paulson used these powers to show Congress who he was and what he was going to do. His first act was to nationalize nine inside banks with TARP money, instead of using it to buy toxic mortgages. Congress is now at the mercy of the treasury secretary, without power to stop their spending. Sadly, while the treasury secretary is a change agent for the Federal Reserve, Congress appears to be so shocked and mesmerized by the entire crisis, that they want it fixed now at any cost.

All of the above now brings us to the Group of Twenty meeting. There is no way they could have accomplished what they did in one day because of the complexity, the many facets and players at the international level and the various agendas. Instead, the outcome was preplanned and again I refer to the 1994 Human Development Report mentioned above. It is hard for anyone to understand and follow the implications and nuances unless they are extremely familiar with the international level and the activities of the last 12-16 years, and history going back one hundred years.The G20 gave increasing powers and teeth to the Financial Stability Forum and changed its name to the Financial Stability Board. Established in 1999, its purpose was to monitor and bring together the G7 regulatory authorities. In a 2001 interview with Managing Director Svein Andressen, he told me, there was no guarantee that it [the FSF] is going to protect the system, but the efforts go in this direction. Because he was right, they have now been restructured. Did he know in advance how right he would be? The Financial Stability Board will not be just a meeting of representatives from the G7 countries, which would include the Central Bank governor, the treasury secretary and representatives from regulatory agencies , but it will now have its own structure with a steering committee and plenary. It will work with the International Monetary Fund on Early Warning exercises and it will be expanded to the G20 countries plus Spain, and the European Commission. Its goal will be to harmonize changes in national regulatory structures—risk, market integrity, consumer protection, infrastructure, accounting and auditing, to conform to a global structure. Perhaps we can look upon them as some type of Global Security and Exchange Commission.In other words, the teeth are being added to the international level: the Financial Stability Board, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank. Countries will now be ACCOUNTABLE and there will be repercussions if they are not. This constitutes another level in the transfer of national sovereignty. As the international level takes on more power, more funding in the form of Special Drawing Rights, new credit facilities, and a higher level of dues by every member country, the national level is reduced in power to the point where the federal level will basically be reduced to a state because the international level will take on the federal powers being transferred to them.America is being plucked from inside, via the credit crisis, at the federal level as our Congress agrees to transfer more power to the Federal Reserve and then at the international level where our Congress will be challenged to agree to what Obama promised in London. In short, visitors who go to Washington D.C. to see the seat of our country’s power should visit the Federal Reserve Building for that is where the real power resides.2009 Joan Veon.

Mitchell due to travel to Israel from Tunisia Tue Apr 14, 2:22 pm ET

WASHINGTON (AFP) – US special envoy George Mitchell is due to leave North Africa on Wednesday for Israel and the Palestinian territories as he pursues efforts to promote a two-state solution in the Middle East.State Department spokesman Robert Wood told reporters that Mitchell would travel later Tuesday to the Tunisian capital Tunis following his visits to Morocco and Algeria.After his meetings in Tunis, Senator Mitchell will travel Wednesday to Israel for a day of meetings with the new Israeli government on Thursday, Wood said.He will travel to the Palestinian West Bank capital of Ramallah for a day of meetings with Palestinian leaders on Friday,Wood added.He will leave the same day for Egypt to consult with leaders there, according to the spokesman.Mitchell said after talks with Moroccan Foreign Minister Taieb Fassi-Fihri in Rabat that President Barack Obama's administration backed a two-state solution, something endorsed by his predecessor George W. Bush.In the case of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, we believe that the two-state solution, two states living side by side in peace, is the best and the only way to resolve this conflict, said Mitchell.He said he would push that objective during his two-week visit to the region, which includes meetings with officials from Israel, the Palestinian territories, Egypt, the Gulf states as well as north Africa.Mitchell's visit to the region is his first since Israel's right-leaning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took office. The US senator is President Barack Obama's special envoy for Middle East peace.

Tornadoes spotted as storm line rumbles over Fla.By CHRISTINE ARMARIO, Associated Press Writer – Tue Apr 14, 6:01 pm ET

TAMPA, Fla. – A strong line of storms spawned at least three tornadoes Tuesday as it tore across central Florida, scattering roof shingles, uprooting trees and forcing schools to evacuate children from trailer classrooms.No injuries were immediately reported and the storms eventually moved off Florida's Atlantic coast. It was the latest round of bad weather to hammer the South after heavy rain and strong winds Monday that hit Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky and northern Florida, already reeling from storms and tornadoes last week.The National Weather Service was still tallying damage information, but initial reports were that three tornadoes had touched down north of Tampa and two others may have struck in central and east Florida.Twenty Florida counties were under a tornado watch for much of the day.To our knowledge, there's been no true structure damage and no injuries,said Jim Martin, Emergency Management Director for Pasco County north of Tampa, where at least one twister was spotted Tuesday morning,Martin said high winds damaged about 25 homes and flipped over one car. Students were evacuated from trailer classrooms at some Tampa-area schools.In central Florida, authorities reported no injuries but said the some homes were damaged, trees were toppled, roofing was blown off and power lines were downed. A train also struck a fallen tree on tracks in Marion County but did not derail, though some of its windows shattered.

Randi Cecil, 24, was on her porch in the town of Sparr, about 90 miles north of Orlando, when the wind turned gusty and trees started swaying. Then a tree cracked so loud that it sounded like a car crash and smashed into her neighbor's bedroom.It was the most horrible feeling I ever went through,Cecil said.Progress Energy spokesman Tim Leljedal said more 70,000 customers experienced a power outage, mostly in the Ocala area in central Florida and in southern Pasco County, just north of Tampa. About 14,500 were still without power by late Tuesday afternoon.The storms also passed through the Orlando area but no significant damage was immediately reported.

Atlanta-area crews were still clearing up fallen trees and working to restore power and traffic lights after squalls Monday pushed through Georgia. Thousands of utility customers in Georgia and Alabama were waiting for power to come back on.Associated Press writers Mike Schneider in Orlando, Mitch Stacy in Tampa and Amanda Thomas in Montgomery, Ala., contributed to this report.

Avalanche kills 7 army soldiers in Indian Kashmir By AIJAZ HUSSAIN, Associated Press Writer – Tue Apr 14, 9:06 am ET

SRINAGAR, India – An avalanche hit an Indian army post in Himalayan Kashmir early Tuesday, killing seven soldiers, an army spokesman said.The army rescued eight soldiers who were partially buried by the cascading snow at an altitude of 14,000 feet (4,260 meters) in the Shasmbari forest area in Indian held Kashmir, said Col. K. Umamaheswar.The eight have been provided medical aid, and their condition is very stable,Umamaheswar told The Associated Press.The region, close to India's de facto border with Pakistan, is 80 miles (130 kilometers) north of Srinagar, the summer capital of India's Jammu-Kashmir state.Frequent rain and heavy snow often trigger avalanches in Kashmir, which is divided between neighboring India and Pakistan and claimed by both.They have fought two wars over the territory since their independence from Britain in 1947.The Indian soldiers were posted in the area to prevent the entry of suspected Islamic insurgents from Pakistani territory.The Indian army said it killed 17 suspected rebels and lost eight soldiers last month in one of the major battles in recent years in the region.India accuses Pakistan of arming and training insurgents who have been fighting for Kashmir's independence from India or its merger with Pakistan since 1989. Islamabad denies the charge.More than 68,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the conflict since 1989.

Spain: Basque group in missile attack plot on king By DANIEL WOOLLS, Associated Press Writer – Mon Apr 13, 10:11 am ET

MADRID – The armed Basque separatist group ETA considered assassinating King Juan Carlos by attacking his plane or helicopter with a surface-to-air missile, Spain's interior minister said Monday.Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba told a news conference the plot was detected in 2004 when authorities seized ETA-related documents, but it never made it into the planning stages. He gave no further details.The newspaper El Correo reported over the weekend that several CDs found in France at an ETA hideout in 2004 showed the group had considered attacking the king with a surface-to-air missile while he flew by plane or helicopter, firing on the aircraft from near an airport or military base.The newspaper said French anti-terrorist police who found the CDs also found the remains of a spent missile cartridge, which it said showed ETA had carried out a real-fire test.The CDs said Spain's prime minister or Cabinet members could also be targeted, the newspaper said.It is true that there was a theoretical study that went no further than that ... There was no concrete planning,Rubalcaba said Monday.In 1995, Spanish authorities thwarted a plot to shoot the king with a long-range rifle while he was on vacation in Palma on the Spanish island of Mallorca.

On Sunday, ETA issued a statement warning it would make the next Basque regional government — due to be led by non-nationalists for the first time — a priority target.
The regional government had been led since 1980 by a party that flirted with independence for the region, but in March 1 elections of this year it failed to win a majority.Now, the Basque branch of Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's Socialist party will take charge with a minority government, relying on support from the conservative Popular Party. The government is due to be sworn in in the next few weeks.

Diplomats say world powers talking new Iran tack By GEORGE JAHN, Associated Press Writer – Tue Apr 14, 4:13 pm ET

VIENNA – The U.S. and five other world powers are planning talks on new strategies to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions, diplomats from the countries involved said Tuesday.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the ultimate goal of getting Iran to suspend its enrichment program remained unchanged.But three diplomats from countries involved in the discussions told The Associated Press that Washington and its negotiating partners were planning to review strategies on engaging Iran on its nuclear program. They are awaiting a formal reply from Tehran on a new meeting to follow up on the last, abortive session nearly a year ago.Obama administration officials declined to publicly discuss possible new strategies for dealing with Iran but said the immediate goal is to get Iran back to the negotiating table.One senior official said that could involve allowing Iran to continue enriching uranium at its current level for an as-yet undetermined length of time.That concession was agreed two years ago by the U.S. and the five other powers — Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany. The idea is to wrest a commitment from Iran not to increase its activities during the time it takes to arrange formal negotiations meant to reach a permanent agreement on the scope of Tehran's nuclear program.That could include tolerating some form of domestic enrichment on the part of Iran at some point in the future.

In an offer made to Tehran in June — that Iran did not take up — the six nations said they were willing to recognize Iran's right to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes in line with its obligations under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.They also offered to treat Iran's nuclear program in the same manner as that of any non-nuclear Weapon State Party to the NPT once international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program is restored.But restoring such confidence — which could result in international tolerance of an Iranian enrichment program — would likely be a matter of years or longer and would come only after a period of Iranian suspension.The U.S. official would not comment on whether the administration was willing to consider allowing Tehran to permanently run a small-scale enrichment program under the auspices of international inspectors but noted that the U.S. position has been for some time that Iran has a right to a civilian nuclear power program.The U.S. official and the diplomats from nations in the six-country group demanded anonymity because their information was confidential.The six nations first demanded that Iran agree to dismantle its enrichment program three years ago. In return, the six nations offered Tehran economic and political incentives.The talks stalemated over Iran's refusal to give up enrichment — and gave Tehran to time to accelerate its efforts.In the last two years, Tehran has amassed more than enough enriched uranium to build nuclear weapons should it choose to do so. It also has rapidly expanded the number of machines used in the process from several hundred to thousands — the International Atomic Energy puts the number of operating centrifuges at more than 5,000, while Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recently boasted of having more than 7,000 in place — although he did not say all were fully running.

While the former U.S. administration was adamant in insisting that Iran scrap its enrichment program, it softened its position two years ago when it and its negotiating partners told Tehran that they could accept a continuation of enrichment for the limited time it took to agree on the time, place and concrete topics of formal negotiations.But the concession failed to elicit a change from Iran's insistence that it would continue enrichment as part of its rights under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. The decision to end America's absence at the negotiating table and send a representative to sit in the same room with Iran at the nuclear talks last year had a similar lack of effect.The six nations issued an invitation for new talks last week, and Washington said a U.S. negotiator would participate, in keeping with the Obama administration's pledge to engage Tehran instead of attempting to isolate it.Associated Press writers Matthew Lee in Washington, David Stringer in London and Geir Moulson in Berlin contributed to this report.

Palestinians,Chief Palestinian Negotiator Saeb Erekat: 'Abbas Rejected Israel's Proposal at Annapolis Like Arafat Rejected the Camp David 2000 Proposal

Following are excerpts from a television debate with chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat. The debate aired on Al-Jazeera TV on March 27, 2009.To view this MEMRI TV clip, visit http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/2074.htm.Arafat Was Besieged at Camp David and Was Killed Unjustly, Only Because He Adhered to Jerusalem.

Saeb Erekat: I am sitting in Jericho, in the house where I was born, four kilometers from the Jordan River, and there are Israeli flags from the Jordan River all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, we are living under Israeli occupation. But let me say that Jerusalem has not been – and will not be – lost. Three hundred thousand Palestinian citizens live in Jerusalem.Jerusalem has not gone anywhere. Jerusalem is here to stay – in the same place throughout the ages. The important thing is for us to return and to liberate Jerusalem.It is true that the negotiations continued for many years, but don’t you know that President Yasser Arafat was besieged at Camp David and was killed unjustly, only because he adhered to Jerusalem, and because he refused to let the Israeli measures on the ground give rise to any [Israeli] right or any [Palestinian] obligation? The Palestinian negotiators could have given in in 1994, 1998, or 2000, and two months ago, brother Abu Mazen [i.e. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud 'Abbas] could have accepted a proposal that talked about Jerusalem and almost 100% of the West Bank, but it is not our goal to score points against one another here.

Our strategic goal, when we strive for peace, is not to do so at any price. We strive for peace on the basis of an Israeli withdrawal to the June 4, 1967 borders, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and with the West Bank and the Gaza Strip geographically connected.An Independent Palestinian State Within the 1967 Borders, With East Jerusalem As Its Capital – This Is What We Can Achieve in Our Generation.There will be no peace whatsoever unless East Jerusalem – with every single stone in it – becomes the capital of Palestine.In my family, we are seven siblings. My six brothers and sisters are in the diaspora. But this does not deny them the right to inherit this land. Ten million Palestinians own Palestine, just like I do. Our survival and steadfastness on this land, our wresting of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital – this is what we can achieve in our generation.

Arafat Told Clinton: I Will Not Be a Traitor; Abbas Told Olmert: I Am Not At a Marketplace or a Bazaar – I Came to Demarcate the Borders of Palestine – The June 4, 1967 Borders.Let me recount two historical events, even if I am revealing a secret. On July 23, 2000, at his meeting with President Arafat in Camp David, President Clinton said: You will be the first president of a Palestinian state, within the 1967 borders – give or take, considering the land swap – and East Jerusalem will be the capital of the Palestinian state, but we want you, as a religious man, to acknowledge that the Temple of Solomon is located underneath the Haram Al-Sharif.Yasser Arafat said to Clinton defiantly: I will not be a traitor. Someone will come to liberate it after 10, 50, or 100 years. Jerusalem will be nothing but the capital of the Palestinian state, and there is nothing underneath or above the Haram Al-Sharif except for Allah.That is why Yasser Arafat was besieged, and that is why he was killed unjustly.In November 2008… Let me finish… [Israeli prime minister Ehud] Olmert, who talked today about his proposal to Abu Mazen, offered the 1967 borders, but said: 'We will take 6.5% of the West Bank, and give in return 5.8% from the 1948 lands, and the 0.7% will constitute the safe passage, and East Jerusalem will be the capital, but there is a problem with the Haram and with what they called the Holy Basin.Abu Mazen too answered with defiance, saying: I am not in a marketplace or a bazaar. I came to demarcate the borders of Palestine – the June 4, 1967 borders – without detracting a single inch, and without detracting a single stone from Jerusalem, or from the holy Christian and Muslim places.This is why the Palestinian negotiators did not sign…TV host: Okay…Any Arrangements Regarding East Jerusalem Are Categorically Unacceptable.

Saeb Erekat: This is the Palestinian position.

TV host: But let’s return to Camp David. When you were at the meetings with Shlomo Ben-Ami… After two weeks of meetings between Barak, Arafat, and Clinton, which led to nothing, there was a meeting at which you proposed that there be [Palestinian] sovereignty, with arrangements in the Old City, including the Haram Al-Sharif. In other words, you proposed Palestinian sovereignty, with Israel playing a role in the administrative aspects. In other words, Israel would participate in the administration of the Haram area – unlike the reduced sovereignty demanded by Shlomo Ben-Ami at that meeting. In other words, you wanted to let [Israel] play a role, one way or another, with regard to the so-called Holy Basin.Saeb Erekat: They will never have this. Like President Abu Mazen said in front of President Bush and Prime Minister Olmert: I am not in a marketplace or a bazaar. East Jerusalem is an occupied area, just like Khan Yunis, Jericho, and Nablus were. Its status in international law will never be anything else. Therefore, any arrangements regarding East Jerusalem are categorically unacceptable.

WITH THIS DEVALUATION OF THE CURRENCY THEY WANT TO SHUT DOWN THE INTERNET IN FIJI TO,SO LOOK FOR THE SAME TO HAPPEN AROUND THE WORLD.THE NEW WORLD ORDER WANTS THE INTERNET SHUT DOWN SO WE CAN NOT EXPOSE THEIR EVIL DICTATORSHIPS WORLDWIDE.

Fiji devalues currency April 15, 2009 - 12:46PM

Fiji's central bank has slashed the value of its currency by 20% as political turmoil sends the country's economy tumbling.The devaluation was announced on Wednesday with immediate effect by Reserve Bank Governor Sada Reddy just hours after he was appointed to the post following the removal of the previous governor by the military regime.Fiji's political crisis deepened last week when armed forces chief Commodore Frank Bainimarama seized greater control of the troubled nation following a court ruling that declared his coup-installed government illegal.The bank said in a statement that the currency devaluation would boost tourism and exports in Fiji - two sectors that have plunged since Bainimarama overturned the elected government in 2006.

Internet bans

Meanwhile, Fiji's internet cafes are under pressure to close and government workers have lost web access as the country's military ruler declared free speech causes trouble.Frank Bainimarama, who led a 2006 coup and has appointed himself head of the new military government, on Wednesday said freedom of speech must be curbed to allow his regime to carry out new reforms.We want to come up with these reforms and the last thing we want to do is have opposition to these reforms throughout, he said.

Asked about every country's need to have open and free discussions, Bainimarama said: Not in Fiji.Several blog websites carrying news from Fiji say internet cafe owners have been told to shut down while their business permits, internet networks, software, technology and archives are investigated and approved by government officials.These so-called internet investigators say they have been ordered to conduct the investigation under the new laws,says the website Raw Fiji News.Owners have so far resisted and access remains open, it said.

Workers cut off

Blogs also claim workers have been denied internet access at work.The civil service have been put on a strict internet ban disabling internet connection to their workstations straight from the ITC Suva office, the information technology arm of government, the blogsite said.Civil servants report that they are forbidden from discussing anti-regime matters in the office and are discouraged from reading blogs after hours.The internet remains the only way for locals and tourists to get uncensored information about the political unrest after tough media restrictions were put in place to limit all non-positive reporting of political events.This follows a string of events that saw the abrogation of the country's 1997 constitution and removal of senior personnel from banking, judicial and police posts, because they do not suit the military regime's new order.

Journalists deported

International journalists have been deported, including ABC correspondent Sean Dorney, and the broadcaster has been ordered to shutdown its two FM transmitters.All local news organisations must have coverage vetted by government officials before it can be released, and a local journalist was detained overnight after giving footage to a New Zealand television station.Bainimarama again reminded Fijians today that their freedoms were a matter for him and his government.We now decide what needs to be done for our country,he said.

Poland asks for €15.5bn credit line from IMF
ANDREW WILLIS Today APR 15,09 @ 09:26 CET

Poland announced on Tuesday (14 April) that it will apply for a €15.5 billion ($20.5bn) credit line from the International Monetary Fund.Warsaw is to make the request via a new lending facility created by the International Monetary Fund last month to enable primarily emerging countries with strong economic fundamentals to bolster their finances in a pre-emptive bid to prevent financial difficulties from arising.

Speaking in Warsaw, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said his government would apply to be given access to the funds from the IMF's Flexible Credit Line (FCL) over a one-year period, making it the second country to apply to the facility after Mexico indicated interest in a $47 billion credit line earlier this month.I am very pleased by this positive response from Poland to the invitation I extended to strongly performing economies to use this new instrument to bolster international confidence, IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said in a statement.Poland has a sustained record of sound economic policies,he said.Its economic fundamentals and policy framework are strong, and the Polish authorities have demonstrated a commitment to maintaining this solid record.Mr Strauss-Kahn added he would seek quick approval for the credit line from the fund's executive board. Analysts endorsed the move on Tuesday, saying it was partially designed to reassure jittery markets of the Polish government's capacity to maintain stable currency values and service current debt obligations. Access to the credit line is also expected to help the Polish government reduce the cost of issuing bonds by allaying concerns of a potential debt default.The zloty rose against the euro yesterday after the news was announced, finishing close to 4.24 to the euro compared to a mid-February low of 4.9 to the euro.

The FCL was established on 24 March along with a wider package of IMF reforms.

Unlike the more standard lending facilities at the fund, which provide loans to trouble-stricken countries on condition they implement certain economic reforms, the FCL is only available to states whose finances are considered to be in good order but who could benefit from further access to financing.This no-strings-attached approach has helped greatly reduce the stigma historically associated with loan applications from the IMF, a development underscored by the market's positive reaction to the news on Tuesday.

IMF needs overhaul say global banks By Tom Braithwaitein Washington
Last updated: April 13 2009 23:09

The International Monetary Fund needs nothing short of a transformation to stimulate emerging markets and monitor the financial system, the Institute of International Finance, a group of global banks, said yesterday.Charles Dallara, managing director of the IIF, said pledges to increase the IMF’s funding by the Group of 20 leaders at their summit in London this month were welcome, but could be bogged down by legislatures. With IMF resources potentially under strain, Mr Dallara was concerned about vagueness in G20 commitments. Economists have criticised the G20 for announcing $1,100bn ($834bn, £749bn) of funds for the IMF when some money is not committed and some was already in the pipeline.Mr Dallara has written to Youssef Boutros-Ghali, chairman of the IMF international monetary and finance committee, to lay out suggestions for a transformation of the fund. He said monitoring of the financial system should include private sector involvement; the fund must not be afraid of tackling imbalances such as a large US current account deficit and a larger Chinese current account surplus. Calling the G7 group of industrialised economies increasingly irrelevant, he said the G7 and IMF should reflect a changed world order.

BC vote could decide carbon tax's future By Allan Dowd Allan Dowd – Tue Apr 14, 6:32 pm ET

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) – Politicians on Canada's Pacific Coast hit the campaign trail on Tuesday for the start of a provincial election that could decide the fate of North America's first comprehensive carbon tax.British Columbia is the first province to hold an election since Canada slid into recession, although polls indicate the governing Liberal Party is headed for another victory over the New Democratic Party when voters cast their ballots on May 12.NDP leader Carole James called on voters to punish Premier Gordon Campbell's Liberals for mishandling the economic downturn, which has pushed unemployment in the province's largely resource-based economy to 7.4 percent.British Columbia has had the worst job losses in the country. We need a change,James told a rally near Vancouver.The Liberals, who have governed the province since 2001, say the New Democrats mismanaged British Columbia's finances when the economy was doing well in the 1990s and cannot be trusted to handle it now when times are tough.British Columbians know this election is critical to their future and that the progress we have made could all be lost in a heartbeat if they make the wrong choice on May 12,Campbell said in a written statement.A survey released by research firm Mustel Group showed the right-of-center Liberals with 52 percent support among decided voters, compared with 35 percent for the left-leaning NDP and 12 percent for the Green Party.

The campaign has created an unusual dilemma for the province's environmental activists. They have traditionally sided with the New Democrats but now object to the NDP's plans to scrap the carbon tax launched by the Liberals last year.The tax applies to nearly all fossil fuels, including gasoline and home heating fuel, starting at C$10 per tonne of carbon emissions in 2008 and increasing by C$5 a tonne annually for four years.The tax became a lightning rod for criticism when it was launched in July, when energy prices were already at record highs and drivers began paying an additional 2.41 Canadian cents on a liter of gasoline (about 9.13 cents per U.S. gallon).The NDP's Axe the Tax campaign coincided with a rise in the polls that briefly had them neck and neck with the Liberals in November, garnering particular support in rural areas of the province.The NDP plans to replace the carbon tax with other caps on emissions aimed at industrial sources, but environmental groups complain that will do little to reduce greenhouse gasses and could end up costing jobs.British Columbia is already part of the Western Climate Initiative, a coalition of U.S. states and Canadian provinces that have agreed to adopt a cap and trade system for carbon emissions starting in 2012.Candidates from both main parties will also have to compete for voters attention with a high-profile, non-political distraction: the Vancouver Canucks begin their National Hockey League playoffs this week in a quest for the Stanley Cup.(Reporting Allan Dowd, editing by Rob Wilson)

Bank of England, Sterling and Government Treason Mike Robinson UK Column April 14, 2009 .Many people believe that the Bank of England is a privately owned corporation. Many people believe that it’s owned by the Rothchilds.Neither of these beliefs is true.

The truth is much worse.

The story of the Bank of England is the story of the British Empire. The British Empire was never a political empire. It was always a monetary financial empire, as much a parasite on the people of Great Britain as the rest of the world. The idea of the Victorian’s British Empire bringing civilisation to the darkest parts of the world is one that needs real reconsideration by many Britons.The Bank of England was originally set up as a core part of the British Empire - making huge profits from loans to the British East India Company and other tendrils of the Great British parasite. The mainstays of the trading activities of these companies were drugs, warfare and the looting of raw materials from poverty stricken nations.As the banker to the Government, the Bank also did quite nicely from lending to the Treasury, thank you very much. In those days, the profits of the Bank went into the hands of the shareholders.In 1844, the Rothschild inspired desire to take complete control of Britain came true with the Bank Charter Act. This gave the Bank of England the monopoly on the production of Sterling, and control of Britain’s money supply. In Northern Ireland and Scotland, where to this day commercial banks are allowed to print their own money, they must have one Bank of England note in reserve for every note of their own that they issue.1946 brought the nationalisation of the Bank. At the end of WWII, Britain was more or less bankrupt, so it was agreed that instead of paying cash for the shares of the Bank, shareholders would receive 3% Treasury stock instead. With the 1946 Bank of England Act, all the Bank shares were transferred into the possession of the Treasury solicitor, and there they are to this day. It remains a corporation, not a government department.In 1977, the Bank set up a wholly owned subsidiary called BANK OF ENGLAND NOMINEES LIMITED, (BOEN), a private limited company, no. 1307478, with 2 of its 100 £1 shares issued. According to its Memorandum & Articles of Association, its objectives are;-To act as Nominee or agent or attorney either solely or jointly with others, for any person or persons, partnership, company, corporation, government, state, organisation, sovereign, province, authority, or public body, or any group or association of them….

Bank of England Nominees Limited was granted an exemption by Edmund Dell, Secretary of State for Trade, from the disclosure requirements under Section 27(9) of the Companies Act 1976 , because, it was considered undesirable that the disclosure requirements should apply to certain categories of shareholders.Add that to the fact that the Bank of England is protected from prying eyes by its Royal Charter status and the Official Secrets Act. What have we got here? In 1998, the final piece of the puzzle fell into place. In return for fixing the 1997 elections and getting New Labour into power, the Government enacted the 1998 Bank of England Act, which gave the Bank’s Court of Directors complete independence with regard to monetary policy.

So if we add this all together, we have a nationally owned institution which has the monopoly in the production of the national currency, and has independent control of the country’s monetary policy in the hands of a Court of Directors who serve the private banking system as they have since the Bank was established.Think about it - private banking control of our currency and monetary policy, fully independent of government. When Gordon Brown signed away government oversight of the Bank, he committed Treason on a scale not seen in Britain since the Heath government took us into what would become the EU.Since 1998 we have seen the Bank rapidly inflate the money supply, while at the same time relaxing regulation on how banks could lend. No longer were banks required to have cash in reserve for loans they made. Instead the vast majority of currency entering the economy did so as a result of commercial banks entering some numbers into a ledger - money out of thin air, literally.Working for the private bankers, the Bank of England set things up to maximise the returns for their banking colleagues’ speculative activities, in the full knowledge that as a nationalised institution, it would be the UK taxpayer who was carrying all the risk, and not, as would have been the case before 1946, the shareholders.The Court of Directors is working for the Anglo/Dutch/Saudi empire - the still-alive-and-kicking hidden hand behind the British Empire of the Victorian age. So it’s no surprise that the solution they provide to today’s manufactured monetary financial collapse is to print more money. Their aim is to destroy the last vestiges of British sovereignty; for a hyper-inflated and hyper-devalued Sterling to be replaced by a single, global, currency, under a single world fascist government.Gordon Brown announced the new financial infrastructure at the G20. He announced the new global currency - to be issued and managed by the newly reinvigorated IMF.This has to be stopped. It has to be stopped now. We want our country back, before there’s no country left. We want our country back from the parasites that use one square mile of London as their base of operations. Back in a way it hasn’t been for about 250 years. Join is in this fight - come to the next British Constitution Group conference in London on the 13th June, and find out what you can do.

Weak retail sales report halts stock market rally By TIM PARADIS, AP Business Writer – Tue Apr 14, 6:33 pm ET

NEW YORK – Wall Street shifted into reverse Tuesday after a surprisingly weak retail sales report punctured investors' optimism about the economy.The poor sales data, combined with a sharp drop in wholesale prices, came just as the corporate earnings season, usually a volatile time in the market, got under way. The Dow Jones industrials lost nearly 140 points.Underscoring the market's sensitivity, shares in Intel Corp. fell sharply in after-hours trading after the chipmaker reported weaker results after the bell and didn't offer a forecast for revenue.Investors are already braced for bad earnings but are highly anxious about forecasts from companies that could indicate a weaker economy. Poor outlooks in the last earnings season in January derailed a 20 percent rally, and some fear the market's current five-week rally could be vulnerable as well.Financial stocks tumbled after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. announced strong profits but said it would raise $5 billion to repay government bailout money. Investors speculated that other major banks might follow suit, which would put pressure on their stocks. Citigroup Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. are also due to report results this week.The Dow closed down 137.63, or 1.7 percent, at 7,920.18.Broader measures also lost ground after three days of gains. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 17.23, or 2 percent, to 841.50, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 27.59, or 1.7 percent, to 1,625.72.

Tuesday's selling was orderly and extended a give-and-take pattern the market has followed since halting a steep slide over the first two months of the year. Stocks have risen from 12-year lows since then on hopes that banks are getting through the worst of their problems and the economy might be bottoming out, though both the Dow and S&P 500 are still below where they started the year.The unexpected 1.1 slump in retail sales in March undermined the market's brightening outlook for the economy. The drop was far worse than the increase of 0.3 percent that analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected and marked the biggest fall in three months. Investors watch retail sales trends closely as a barometer of consumer spending, which makes up two-thirds of U.S. economic activity.The choppy data that we're seeing, whether it's economic or earnings, reminds us that we're still not out of the woods, said Sean Simko, head of fixed income management at SEI Investments in Philadelphia.The market always has a tendency to go too far too fast.Investors took little comfort from speeches by President Barack Obama and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that there have been hopeful signs about the economy but that a sustained recovery won't arrive quickly.A separate report on wholesale prices gave another poor reading on the economy.The Labor Department said wholesale prices tumbled 1.2 percent in March as the cost of gasoline, other energy products and food fell sharply. Falling prices fan worries about a spiraling effect where consumers and businesses would cut spending out of fear that they would pay too much for something today that could be worth less tomorrow.The drop in stocks followed more signs that some companies reporting earnings for the first quarter might be able to top Wall Street's modest expectations.

After the end of trading Tuesday, railroad operator CSX said its first-quarter profit fell 30 percent from a year earlier, but the results came in well above Wall Street's expectations.Johnson & Johnson said before the opening bell that its first-quarter profit dipped, but not as much as expected. The health care products maker was one of four stocks among the 30 that make up the Dow industrials to show a gain. The stock rose 22 cents to $51.37.Goldman released its results a day early Monday, reporting after the end of trading that it earned $1.66 billion in the quarter, well above what analysts were expecting. The company said it would raise $5 billion in stock in hopes of repaying the $10 billion investment it received from the government last year.

Goldman shares fell $15.04, or 11.6 percent, to $115.11 after its stock offering was priced at $123 per share, a discount of 5.5 percent to Monday's closing price. Most other financial stocks slid. JPMorgan fell $3, or 8.9 percent, to $30.70, while Morgan Stanley fell $3.22, or 12 percent, to $23.67. Jeffrey Frankel, president of Stuart Frankel & Co. in New York, says investors are braced for the worst during earnings season. There is very little that could come out that will spook traders, he said. In other market moves, the Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 14.83, or 3.2 percent, to 453.22. Two stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 7.3 billion shares compared with 6.3billion shares traded Monday.Bond prices rose after the weak economic readings. That pushed the yield on the 10-year Treasury note down to 2.79 percent from 2.86 percent late Monday.The dollar was mixed against other major currencies, while gold prices fell. Light, sweet crude fell 64 cents to settle at $49.41 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average fell 0.9 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.1 percent, Germany's DAX index gained 1.5 percent, and France's CAC-40 rose 0.9 percent.

Polish media uncover evidence of CIA prison
ANDREW RETTMAN Today APR 15,09 @ 09:28 CET

Journalists from Polish TV station TVP and daily newspaper Rzeczpospolita say they have obtained new evidence that Poland ran a secret CIA prison used for extra-judicial extradition of terrorism suspects.The evidence - documents and witness statements related to a Polish judicial investigation to see if the facility undermined Polish sovereignty - point the finger at the country's former Socialist government.The new information suggests that in December 2001, Poland designated 20 secret service agents to help in Washington's new war on terror and leased part of a military base in Stare Kiejkuty in the northwest of the country to the US.

Clandestine US flights to the nearby Szymany airport begn in December 2002. At least five subsequent flights by a suspicious Gulfstream jet landed in Szymany in 2003.On four occasions, the flights had top security clearance, which could only have been granted by a handful of senior Polish officials. On two occasions - 8 February and 6 March 2003 - the European civil aviation authority, Eurocontrol, was told the planes had landed in Warsaw when they had in fact stopped in Szymany.A witness called by the Polish investigation has stated that in 2003 he saw People in handcuffs, with blindfolds on, led from the plane.The European Commission has in the past said that any EU country found to be in violation of basic human rights could face sanctions. Previous probes by the European Parliament and the Strasbourg-based Council of Europe also accused Poland of collusion but found no hard evidence.

Attenborough warns on population APR 14,09

Sir David began presenting natural history programmes in 1954 ,The broadcaster Sir David Attenborough has become a patron of a group seeking to cut the growth in human population.On joining the Optimum Population Trust, Sir David said growth in human numbers was frightening. Sir David has been increasingly vocal about the need to reduce the number of people on Earth to protect wildlife. The Trust, which accuses governments and green groups of observing a taboo on the topic, say they are delighted to have Sir David as a patron.

Fraught area

Sir David, one of the BBC's longest-standing presenters, has been making documentaries on the natural world and conservation for more than half a century. In a statement issued by the Optimum Population Trust he is quoted as saying: I've never seen a problem that wouldn't be easier to solve with fewer people, or harder, and ultimately impossible, with more.The Trust, which was founded in 1991, campaigns for the UK population to decrease voluntarily by not less than 0.25% a year. It has launched a Stop at Two online pledge to encourage couples to limit their family's size.Other patrons include Jonathan Porritt, chairman of the UK Sustainable Development Commission, and Dame Jane Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall institute.

BBC environment analyst Roger Harrabin said population was a fraught area of debate, with libertarians and some religious groups vehemently opposing measures by governments to influence individual fertility.In turn, the Trust accuses policy makers and environmentalists of conspiring in a silent lie that human numbers can grow forever with no ill-effects. In January 2009, Sir David revealed that he had received hate mail from viewers for not crediting God in his nature programmes. His most recent documentary focused on how Charles Darwin came up with the theory of evolution and why it remained important.

NKorea vows to restart nuclear reactor, end talks By HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press Writer APR 14,09

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea vowed Tuesday to restart its nuclear reactor and to boycott international disarmament talks for good in retaliation for the U.N. Security Council's condemnation of its rocket launch.Russia, voicing regret over the move, urged Pyongyang to return to the negotiating table. The Foreign Ministry called the U.N. statement legitimate and well-balanced, and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said all sides must stick to the current disarmament process. China, the North's main ally, appealed for calm.In Washington, a senior U.S. official called the decision unfortunate.It will further isolate the North from the rest of the international community, and the North will have to deal with that,the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.North Korea's denunciation of the council's hostile move came just hours after all 15 members, including Beijing and Moscow, unanimously agreed to condemn the April 5 launch as a violation of U.N. resolutions and to tighten sanctions against the regime.The U.N. statement, issued eight days after the launch, was weaker than the resolution Japan and the United States had pursued but still drew an angry response from Pyongyang, which called it unjust and a violation of international law.North Korea claims it sent a communications satellite into space as part of a peaceful bid to develop its space program.The U.S. and others call the launch an illicit test of the technology used to fire an intercontinental ballistic missile, even one eventually destined for the U.S.

A Security Council resolution passed in 2006, days after North Korea carried out an underground nuclear test, prohibits Pyongyang from engaging in any ballistic missile-related activity — including launching rockets that use the same delivery technology as missiles mounted with warheads, Washington and other nations say.The council on Monday demanded an end to the rocket launches and said it will expand sanctions against the communist nation. The council also called for quick resumption of disarmament talks.President Barack Obama called the statement a clear and united message that North Korea's action was unlawful and would result in real consequences, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.North Korea, following through on earlier threats to withdraw from international disarmament talks if the council so much as criticized the launch, announced Tuesday it would boycott the 5 1/2-year-old negotiations hosted by China.The six-party talks have lost the meaning of their existence, never to recover,the North's Foreign Ministry said in a statement, declaring it would never participate in the talks again and is no longer bound to previous agreements.Since 2003, envoys from six nations — the two Koreas, the U.S., China, Russia and Japan — have been meeting in Beijing for sporadic negotiations on getting Pyongyang to give up its nuclear program in exchange for aid and other concessions.Under a 2007 six-party deal, North Korea agreed to disable its main nuclear complex in Yongbyon north of Pyongyang — a key step toward dismantlement — in return for 1 million tons of fuel oil and other concessions. Disablement began later that year.

In June 2008, North Korea famously blew up the cooling tower at Yongbyon in a dramatic show of its commitment to denuclearization.But disablement came to halt a month later as Pyongyang wrangled with Washington over how to verify its 18,000-page account of past atomic activities. The latest round of talks, in December, failed to push the process forward.On Tuesday, the North said it would restart nuclear facilities, an apparent reference to its plutonium-producing reactor at Yongbyon. North Korea already is believed to have enough plutonium to produce at least about half a dozen atomic bombs. One official at the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency said agency inspectors remained onsite at Yongbyon. He asked for anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue. Asked whether there had been any indication that the North was making good on its threats, he said only that the situation remained status quo.That suggests IAEA cameras and seals remained in place at the facility and that the inspectors continued their monitoring activities.

The Russian foreign minister said all sides must continue denuclearization through the six-party talks. Any new international forum to discuss the situation on the Korean Peninsula should not be created,Lavrov told a Moscow news conference.The negotiators of this forum have reached important agreements that impose obligations on all the parties, not only North Korea.Analyst Koh Yu-hwan, a North Korea expert at Seoul's Dongguk University, called Pyongyang's move yet another tactic in the regime's bid to get Washington to the negotiating table outside the six-party framework.The U.N. statement humiliated North Korea internationally, and that's why North Korea angrily reacted to it,said Atsuhito Isozaki, assistant professor of North Korean politics at Keio University in Japan.Since China and Russia supported the statement, North Korea feels betrayed.However, Prof. Yoo Ho-yeol of Korea University in Seoul said Pyongyang will find it difficult to boycott the talks entirely, since that would only serve to further isolate the impoverished country, one of the world's poorest.

China appealed for calm.

We hope the relevant parties will proceed from the overall interest, exercise calmness and restraint,Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a press conference in Beijing on Tuesday. South Korea, expressing deep regret, also decided Tuesday to fully join the U.S.-led Proliferation Security Initiative, a program launch in 2003 to halt the spread of weapons of mass destruction, the presidential office said. The move is bound to further infuriate Pyongyang.

National politicians undermining EU parliament, say Liberals
ANDREW WILLIS Today APR 14,09 @ 17:57 CET

Liberals in the European parliament criticised national politicians on Tuesday (14 April), saying they regularly try to hide the important legislative role the EU-level chamber plays.German liberal MEP Jorgo Chatzimarkakis said EU citizens were for the large part unaware that the vast majority of national legislation originates in Brussels – saying the percentage was 85 per cent in Germany, and even higher in eastern Europe.He said this ignorance was a result of domestic deputies not telling their constituents how much work is performed by their EU-level counterparts. People don't know this because national politicians don't want them to know. They don't want to show up their own minor role,said Mr Chatzimarkakis by way of explaining the low voter turnout in European elections. How much money do you want us to spend in order to get a message across that is always destroyed by our own national politicians in our own parties.The European media also came in for criticism for their apparently poor coverage of European parliamentary affairs with Mr Chatzimarkakis saying: normal editors have clichéd ideas about what the readers want.Party president Annemie Neyts-Uyttebroeck went further still in her criticism of coverage of the chamber.If the European media paid as little attention to football as they do to the European Parliament, then no one would understand the rules,she said.

Campaign kick-off

The comments were made at a press conference on the eve of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party (EDLR) campaign launch ahead of this June's European elections.The party has based its manifesto – adopted in Stockholm last October - around the four areas of civil liberties, the European single market, the environment and energy policy, and enlargement and foreign security. The ELDR expects to return between 72 and 75 MEPs, winning over 30 million votes and maintaining its number three position in the parliament in its alliance with the European Democratic Party, known collectively as the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE).I believe we will continue to hold the balance of power, Ms Neyts-Uyttebroeck told EUObserver, adding that she felt that the centre-right European Peoples' Party would retain the top spot in terms of MEP numbers, despite a move by the British Conservative Party to leave the grouping. The loss of the Conservatives will be a loss in numbers, but it may actually be a relief to many members,she said in reference to the frequently tumultuous relationship between the British party and the pan-European umbrella group. Ms Neyts-Uyttebroeck also predicted that the Socialists, who currently hold the number two slot in the European parliament, would fail to capitalise on the current economic crisis due to outflanking by leftist parties in Europe further to their left, which she expects will do well in the June elections.

The general feelings however amongst Liberal party members is that the party is well placed to capitalise on the current environment due to their traditional support for free markets that are properly regulated.What we want of the state is a prudent role, said Mr Chatzimarkakis, arguing that governments must only get involved with companies when there is a systemic reason for doing so, and only then in accordance with clear guidelines.Such moves could include car sector bail-outs being tied directly to the development of green technology. Additionally, Bulgarian MEP Bilyana Ilieva Raeva said eurozone membership was key to helping central and eastern member states recover from the current downturn.There is a strange wish from the ECB not to start the [last step of the accession] process,she told this website.

EU to sue Britain over Internet privacy By AOIFE WHITE, AP Business Writer - Tue Apr 14, 2009 12:15PM EDT

BRUSSELS - The European Union started legal action against Britain on Tuesday for not applying EU data privacy rules that would restrict an Internet advertising tracker, called Phorm, from watching how users surf the web.The EU regulators also warned that they could force social networking sites like Facebook or MySpace to hide minors' profiles from search engines.The European Commission said Britain should outlaw Internet traffic interception and monitoring unless users give explicit consent that their behavior can be tracked and analyzed.It said it had received numerous complaints about BT Group PLC, which tested Phorm in 2006 and 2007 without informing customers involved in the trial. Phorm analyzes Internet users' behavior so it can target them with advertising that might appeal to them.Such a technology in the view of the European Commission and European data protection law can only be used with the prior consent of the user,said EU spokesman Martin Selmayr.Regulators sent a first legal warning to Britain on Tuesday, asking it to explain or change the way it interprets EU rules, because it currently allows interception when it is unintentional or when a tracker has 'reasonable grounds' to believe that consent was given.Britain has two months to reply. The European Commission can issue more warnings before it can take a government before an EU court, where it may be ordered to change national law or face daily fines.BT sought consent from users when it again tried out Phorm from October to December 2008 in an invitation-only trial. The company says on its Web site that the trial didn't keep or pass on information that could identify users and what they did. It gave no comment on Tuesday on the EU statement.

Internet companies, privacy advocates and regulators disagree on what kind of traffic data is personal — such as IP addresses that give a location — and whether storing information on a crowd of people might evade strict privacy rules because they cannot be identified individually.Phorm plans to work with three Internet operators reaching 70 percent of Britain's broadband market — BT Group PLC, Virgin Media Inc. and Carphone Warehouse Group PLC's TalkTalk. Virgin and TalkTalk said they wanted to try out the technology but would do so only with users' consent.Phorm said in a statement that its technology did not store personal data or browsing history and was fully compliant with UK legislation and relevant EU directives.It said it did not expect that the EU action against Britain would have any impact on its plans.In anticipation of any changes that may be made to the law in future, our system offers unmissable notice and clear and persistent choice to consumers,it said.Britain's Information Commissioner's Office, which is charged with protecting personal information in the country, said it could not comment on the EU move.Separately, EU Media Commissioner Viviane Reding said that social networking sites needed to move fast to step up default privacy settings, especially for younger users — and she would table new EU rules if sites didn't act.Is every social networker really aware that technically, all pictures and information uploaded on social networking profiles can be accessed and used by anyone on the web? she asked in a video message.Do we not cross the border of the acceptable when, for example, the pictures of the Winnenden school shooting victims in Germany are used by commercial publications just to increase sales? She also warned about radio frequency identification, or RFID, tags that can be used as an electronic label on clothing or food to pass on information such as expiry dates or prices to a store cashier or stock checker.No European should carry a chip in one of their possessions without being informed precisely what they are used for, with the choice to remove or switch it off at any time,she said. Stores and other smart tag users complain that some of these requirements to inform customers or switch off the tags could be burdensome, unnecessary and might prevent them from investing in the new technology.

EU elections heading for record low turnout
LEIGH PHILLIPS Today APR 14,09 @ 09:25 CET

With European Parliament elections fast approaching, EU citizens are less interested in the poll than ever before in a situation that could see the abstention rate across the bloc hit a record 66 percent.A soon to be released survey from the European Commission's polling service, Eurobarometer, shows that interest in the election is weak right across the union, reports France's Liberation daily. The newest EU citizens, from member states that joined in 2004 and 2007, are as indifferent as their old European cousins, who have decades of experience in EU electoral listlessness.Only 17 percent of Poles intend to vote in the 4 to 7 June elections - the lowest figure of all member states, reports the survey, carried out between January and February this year.Ascending the ladder, some 21 percent of Austrians intend to vote in the polls, followed by 22 percent of Britons, 24 percent of Portuguese and a quarter of Slovaks. Just over a quarter of Czechs, Hungarians and Spaniards say they will make a detour out of their day to head to the polling station, while just under a third of Italians and Bulgarians will do likewise (30% and 31%).Germany, the most populous of the EU states, is likely to see 43 percent of its citizens vote, according to Eurobarometer. France and the Netherlands, home to the rejectionists of the EU's Constitutional Treaty, come close to half the voting public, with both nations on 47 percent. Some 48 percent of Cypriots and Greeks and 49percent of Swedes plan to go to the urns.Only in Malta (56%), Denmark (56%), Luxembourg (62%) and Belgium (70%) will a majority of citizens of voting age cast a ballot in the parliamentary elections. In the latter two countries, voting in elections is mandatory.

The sole silver lining from the survey is that the record abstinence appears to be no indication of growing euroscepticism, but rather a feeling that the vote will not make any difference. Just 20 percent of those surveyed cited rejection of the construction of a European community as their reason for not voting.However, some 64 percent said they were not intending to vote because they had little knowledge of the role of MEPs while 62 percent said it was because voting would not change anything.

Just say No to abstinence

Meanwhile, the European Commission is hoping to convince young people to say No to abstinence.The EU executive has hooked up with MTV to launch an EU-wide campaign similar to the music channel's celebrated Rock the Vote initiative in the US to urge youngsters to take part in the June poll. The European version, a somewhat less boisterous Can You Hear Me, Europe? will see a series of TV spots running regularly on the network's various European stations as well as an interactive website and publicity stunts in EU national capitals.Voter participation is particularly low in the EU, with only 40 percent of young people casting a ballot in the 2004 parliamentary elections and 45.5 percent of people overall.

Scientist: First cloned camel born in Dubai APR 14,09

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – A scientist says the world's first cloned camel has been produced in the desert emirate of Dubai.Nisar Ahmad Wani, a senior reproductive biologist at the government's Camel Reproduction Center, says the cloned camel is a six-day-old, one-humped female called Achievement or Injaz in Arabic.Injaz was born April 8 after an uncomplicated gestation of 378 days, the center said in a press release Tuesday.The center said she was created from cells harvested from an ovary of an adult female camel.Camels are a valuable commodity in the desert sheikdoms of the Persian Gulf. They are used for racing and transport. They are famous for healthy low-fat milk and can fetch owners millions of dollars at camel beauty contests.

Brazil breadbasket teeters with economic meltdown By ALAN CLENDENNING, AP Business Writer APR 14,09

FATIMA DO SUL, Brazil – A year ago, Brazil's breadbasket saw what resembled a gold rush as farmers scrambled to increase acreage amid record demand for soy. Today, much of the region is on its knees, victim of a double whammy of a financial crisis and a punishing drought.Standing in his field of withered soy, Antonio Gallego oversees a few farm hands harvesting a crop that grew to just 8 inches (20 centimeters) instead of the normal 6 feet (2 meters). He says he'll lose $40 per acre ($100 per hectare) on this year's investment.This year is just a total loss, and the only thing we can say about the future is that it's uncertain,said Gallego, 43, son of the first settlers to farm this little-developed corner of Brazil a few decades ago.I can't increase acreage because there's no credit. But if I decrease, I can't pay the bills.

Early last year, high oil prices, low food reserves and growing consumer demand in developing nations sent food prices soaring, causing riots from Haiti to Pakistan. As in other agricultural regions, Brazilian farmers and ranchers drove to increase production, raking in huge profits as soy and other commodity prices skyrocketed.

Today, grain and beef prices have plummeted. And with sharply reduced foreign orders for Brazilian iron ore, steel and automobiles, Latin America's largest economy could fall into recession this year.In this sun-baked town with no traffic lights, where tractors and harvesters rumble down the main drag, most farmers say they are losing money on yields from 20 percent to 60 percent below normal.After the financial crisis hit last fall, the area suffered its worst drought in more than 20 years, affecting three of Brazil's five top grain-producing states and large swaths of grain-producing land in Argentina and Paraguay. There was no rain for two months.Some families who have farmed fields for 30 years fear they will lose their land. Tight credit is making it harder for most to buy seeds, fertilizer and machinery.Some of them are going to go broke, said Eduardo Riedel, vice president of the leading agribusiness industry association in Mato Grosso do Sul state, a seemingly endless stretch of fields and pasture bordering Paraguay and Bolivia. The lenders are scared about lending the money, there's loss of income, and the middle rural class isn't investing.

Demand has plunged for Brazilian beef, coffee and soy, which is used worldwide as animal feed and as a key additive in cereal, pasta and other processed foods. The credit crunch also has made it difficult for importing countries to get loans to buy food.The nation's current soy harvest is expected to generate 58 million metric tons, down from 60 million last year. Meanwhile, beef exports for January and February totaled 171 million metric tons, down sharply from 230 million metric tons shipped abroad for the same period in 2008.The price of milk farmers in Fatima do Sul get from dairies since the crisis hit has dropped to 22 cents per quart (liter), below the production cost of 27 cents per quart (liter).And dozens of slaughterhouses hit by the credit crunch in recent months have shut their doors in both Mato Grosso do Sul and the neighboring agricultural powerhouse state of Mato Grosso, throwing thousands of meat cutters out of work.Farmers in the U.S., Canada and Europe are hurting as well from sharply lower prices for soy, corn and beef. But experts say they generally don't hold as much debt as their Brazilian counterparts, giving them greater leeway to ride out the crisis. And many benefit from government subsidies the Brazilians don't get.American farmers are perceiving Brazil to be less of a competitive threat than they used to, said Mike Woolverton, a professor of agricultural economics at Kansas State University.No one expected such a sudden drop from the agribusiness boom that sent Brazilian land prices skyrocketing and drew busloads of American and Argentine investors looking to snap up farmland just before the meltdown last fall.Gone, too, are carloads of Brazilians barreling down highways along soy fields and cow pastures to spend newly earned profits at a duty-free border paradise in Paraguay, where they snapped up computers, cameras, wine and champagne with strong currency that has since slumped against the dollar.The economic crisis even is starting to dent previously sky-high popularity ratings for President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Farmers are angry at his claims that the country won't be hit as hard by the meltdown as Europe and the United States. While economists predict Brazil's economy won't expand at all this year or will contract, Silva's administration in March predicted 2 percent growth and just reduced the forecast to 1.2 percent — figures that Fatima do Sul residents call fantasy.

Sales of veterinary supplies for cows fell so much in recent months at Vair Firmino's small main street store, he reduced his stock by more than half and decided to sell cowboy boots, jeans and three different types of chicks, which he displays in sidewalk cages to attract shoppers. Silva says there's no crisis, but just ask a rancher what he's getting for his cows,Firmino said. Rancher and soy farmer Alberto Dalben, who heads Fatima do Sul's association of farmers, said ranchers used to be able to buy three cows to raise after selling one to the slaughterhouse. Now they get less than two. About 90 miles (140 kilometers) west in the city of Ponta Para bordering Paraguay, the crisis prompted Brazilian and foreign investors to cancel plans for a $300 million distillery to turn sugarcane into ethanol, said Ponta Para Mayor Flavio Kayatt. Kayatt and others predict most farmers will survive the downturn that some experts say could last two years, though indebted farmers could be forced out. The rest, they say, will make less money and reduce investments until signs of a global recovery emerge.Dalben says he may reduce his soy acreage and increase the size of his cattle pastures on his 2,270 acres (920 hectares) because raising cows requires less investment and work than soy, though the returns are often lower. We produce food and people will never stop eating,Dalben said,but they'll eat less and that will affect us.Associated Press Writer Carolina Escalera in Sao Paulo contributed to this report.

Recession spurs growth in EU shadow economy
ANDREW RETTMAN Today APR 14,09 @ 09:28 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - While just about every part of Europe's economy is shrinking in the current recession, one sector - the black market - has started to grow, according to fresh research in Austria. The shadow economy - which includes untaxed trade in goods and services, such as cash-in-hand construction work or car repairs, but excludes serious crime such as illegal drugs and prostitution - is predicted to expand by 0.3 to 0.9 percent this year in 14 rich EU states, which are also members of the OECD.The highest growth in the sector - of 0.8 to 0.9 percent - is to come in Ireland, the UK and Spain. Belgium, Austria and Germany meanwhile are at the lower end of the scale.Growth in the former Communist EU states, not covered by the forecast, an analysis by economist Friedrich Schneider of the Johannes Kepler University in Linz, is likely to be the same if not bigger.The turnaround comes after 15 years of decline in black market activity and occurs at a time when the legitimate EU economy is expected to contract by two percent.

The research gathers together motivating factors such as rising taxation, unemployment and mistrust in the state as well as direct indices such as demand for cash from banks and trends in the use of electricity.In Belgium, if you go out on the weekend, you see more construction work being done than during the week, Mr Schneider told EUobserver, explaining that the vast majority of shadow work is carried out by people who also hold licit jobs.The economics of serious crime is different however. Rising taxes are unlikely to have an impact on sales of illegal drugs. Theft and burglary may go up during a recession. At the same time, income from prostitution is likely to go down, as businessmen have less money to spend.The size of the shadow economy varies from region to region. In northern Europe and Scandinavia it represents between 10 and 18 percent of official GDP. In Mediterranean countries such as Portugal and Italy, the sector makes up 20 to 25 percent.Many former Communist EU countries have shadow sectors in the Mediterranean range. But in Estonia, Latvia, Romania and Bulgaria the estimate clocks in at 36 to 39 percent. The figures for EU neighbours can be much higher. In Belarus and Moldova, around half of economic activity bypasses the state. In Ukraine, about 57 percent. In Georgia, 68 percent.

The existence of a shadow economy up to the 25 percent mark can improve ordinary people's quality of life, the Austrian academic believes. The shadow economy tends to increase people's well-being. Extra goods are produced, extra income is generated. You don't work in the shadow economy for the sake of your savings account, but because you want to buy a new TV or whatever,Mr Schneider said. A thriving black market can also be useful in other ways. In 2006, the Greek government included the size of its hefty shadow economy in the calculation of its official GDP to try to avoid EU fiscal disciplinary measures.The EU's stability and growth pact limits the size of government borrowing to three percent of GDP. The European Commission rejected the Greek manoeuvre. But the commission itself in recent years has contacted experts such as Mr Schneider to see if shadow economy estimates could be used to inflate the official wealth of member states.The commission has also had this idea because it would enlarge the base from which they calculate contributions to the EU budget. So they are not so hostile,the Austrian economist said. But there is no consensus on how to estimate the size.

Stocks fall as retail sales, price data disappoint APR 14,09
By STEPHEN BERNARD and TIM PARADIS, AP Business Writers.

NEW YORK – Stocks fell Tuesday after an unexpected drop in retail sales and producer prices tested a notion that the economy is starting to find its footing.The poor showing for retail sales in March and a sharp drop in wholesale prices overshadowed better-than-expected profit reports from Johnson & Johnson and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.In midday trading, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 63.72, or 0.8 percent, to 7,994.09.Broader market measures also lost ground. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 7.26, or 0.9 percent, to 851.47, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 15.74, or 1 percent, to 1,637.57.Financial stocks showed some of the steepest losses even after Goldman's results came in well ahead of what analysts had been expecting. Citigroup Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. are also due to report quarterly results this week.

President Barack Obama and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said in separate speeches Tuesday that despite some hopeful signs about the economy a sustained recovery will take time.In a speech at Georgetown University, Obama pointed to signs of progress but said by no means are we out of the woods.Obama's speech and Bernanke's assertion there have been tentative signs of easing in the recession appeared to keep some investors from hitting the sell button. Stocks have surged for five weeks as traders bet that banks are working through some of their biggest troubles and the economy's woes aren't worsening.Wall Street couldn't avoid disappointment over the Commerce Department's report that retail sales fell 1.1 percent in March, the biggest drop in three months. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected an increase of 0.3 percent. In one bright spot, February retail sales were revised to show modest growth rather than the slight dip originally reported.The Labor Department said wholesale prices tumbled 1.2 percent in March as the cost of gasoline, other energy products and food fell sharply.The choppy data that we're seeing, whether it's economic or earnings, reminds us that we're still not out of the woods,said Sean Simko, head of fixed income management at SEI Investments in Philadelphia.The government also said businesses reduced inventories by 1.3 percent in February, close to the 1.2 percent fall that economists had been expecting. Investors are hoping businesses will be able to work through inventory and better align costs with demand.Simko said the mixed data could keep a useful check on the market's advance. The market always has a tendency to go too far too fast,he said.

The drop in stocks followed more signs that companies reporting earnings for the January-March quarter might be able to beat Wall Street's modest expectations.

Johnson & Johnson said its first-quarter profit dipped, but not as much as expected. The health care products maker earned $3.5 billion, or $1.26 per share, above analysts' estimates of $1.22 per share. J&J, one of the 30 stocks that make up the Dow, rose 82 cents, or 1.6 percent, to $51.97.Goldman unexpectedly released its results a day early on Monday, reporting after the closing bell that it earned $1.66 billion in the quarter, well above what analysts were expecting, and would raise $5 billion in stock in hopes of repaying the $10 billion investment it received from the government last year.Goldman fell $7.16, or 5.5 percent, to $122.99 after its share offering.Some other financial stocks also slid. JPMorgan fell $1.09, or 3.2 percent, to $32.61, while Morgan Stanley fell $1.77, or 6.6 percent, to $25.12. In other market moves, the Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 8.81, or 1.9 percent, to 459.24. About three stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 667.9 million shares. Bond prices rose, pushing the yield on the 10-year Treasury note down to 2.80 percent from 2.86 percent late Monday.The dollar was mixed against other major currencies, while gold prices fell.

Light, sweet crude rose 33 cents to $50.38 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average fell 0.9 percent. In afternoon trading, Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.4 percent, Germany's DAX index gained 2 percent, and France's CAC-40 rose 1 percent.

China Slows Purchases of U.S. and Other Bonds
By KEITH BRADSHER Published: April 12, 2009

HONG KONG — Reversing its role as the world’s fastest-growing buyer of United States Treasuries and other foreign bonds, the Chinese government actually sold bonds heavily in January and February before resuming purchases in March, according to data released during the weekend by China’s central bank.Cutting Back China’s foreign reserves grew in the first quarter of this year at the slowest pace in nearly eight years, edging up $7.7 billion, compared with a record increase of $153.9 billion in the same quarter last year.China has lent vast sums to the United States — roughly two-thirds of the central bank’s $1.95 trillion in foreign reserves are believed to be in American securities. But the Chinese government now finances a dwindling percentage of new American mortgages and government borrowing.In the last two months, Premier Wen Jiabao and other Chinese officials have expressed growing nervousness about their country’s huge exposure to America’s financial well-being.Chinese reserves fell a record $32.6 billion in January and $1.4 billion more in February before rising $41.7 billion in March, according to figures released by the People’s Bank over the weekend. A resumption of growth in China’s reserves in March suggests, however, that confidence in that country may be reviving, and capital flight could be slowing.The main effect of slower bond purchases may be a weakening of Beijing’s influence in Washington as the Treasury becomes less reliant on purchases by the Chinese central bank.

Asked about the balance of financial power between China and the United States, one of the Chinese government’s top monetary economists, Yu Yongding, replied that I think it’s mainly in favor of the United States.He cited a saying attributed to John Maynard Keynes: If you owe your bank manager a thousand pounds, you are at his mercy. If you owe him a million pounds, he is at your mercy.Private investors from around the world, including the United States, have been buying more American bonds in search of a refuge from global financial troubles. This has made the Chinese government’s cash less necessary and kept interest rates low in the United States over the winter despite the Chinese pullback.There have also been some signs that Americans may consume less and save more money in response to hard economic times. This would further decrease the American dependence on Chinese savings.Mr. Wen voiced concern on March 13 about China’s dependence on the United States: We have lent a huge amount of money to the U.S. Of course we are concerned about the safety of our assets. To be honest, I am definitely a little worried.The main worry of Chinese officials has been that American efforts to fight the current economic downturn will result in inflation and erode the value of American bonds, Chinese economists said in interviews in Beijing on Thursday and Friday.They are quite nervous about the purchasing power of fixed-income assets, said Yu Qiao, an economics professor at Tsinghua University.Economists said there was no sign that the Chinese government had deliberately throttled back its purchases of overseas bonds to punish the United States for pursuing monetary and fiscal policies aimed at stimulating the American economy. While those policies may run a long-term risk of setting off inflation, they also may benefit China if they rekindle economic growth in the United States and thereby revive China’s faltering exports.

The abrupt slowdown in China’s accumulation of foreign reserves instead seems to suggest that investors were sending large sums of money out of mainland China early this year in response to worries about the country’s economic future and possibly its social stability in the face of rising unemployment.Evidence of such capital flight included a flood of cash into the Hong Kong dollar. Mainland tourists were even buying gold and diamonds during Chinese new year holidays here in late January.

China’s reserves have soared in recent years as the People’s Bank bought dollars on a huge scale to prevent China’s currency from appreciating as money poured into the country from trade surpluses and heavy foreign investment. But China’s trade surpluses have narrowed slightly as exports have fallen, while foreign investment has slowed as multinationals have conserved their cash.Jun Ma, a Deutsche Bank economist in Hong Kong, predicted that China’s foreign reserves would rise only $100 billion this year after climbing $417.8 billion last year.Some economists contend that slower growth in Chinese foreign currency reserves is not important to the economic health of the United States, even though it may be politically important. In the first quarter, instead of the Chinese government sending money out of the country to buy foreign bonds, Chinese individuals and companies were buying many of the same bonds.

The outflow would mostly end up in the U.S. anyway, even if China is no longer controlling the destination of the money, said Michael Pettis, a finance professor at Peking University, in an interview on Thursday.Heavy purchases of Hong Kong dollars by mainland Chinese residents early this year also have the indirect effect of helping the United States borrow money. The Hong Kong government pegs its currency to the American dollar, and stepped up its purchases of Treasury bonds this winter in response to strong demand for Hong Kong dollars.But China’s economy appears to be bouncing back from the global economic downturn faster than its trade partners’ economies. If that proves true, the result could be an increase in imports to China while its exports recover less briskly. This would limit trade surpluses and leave the People’s Bank with less money to plow into foreign reserves.

The New World Order Is Taking Over the Patriot and Truth Movements
Jeffrey Grupp Infowars April 13, 2009

We all know that there are infiltrators into the various patriot movements. Old news. But that is not what I discuss in this article. I may be wrong, but I think something far more serious is going on: I think that the biggest, strongest patriot movements (Alex Jones and the Truth Movement, Campaign for Liberty, etc.) are about to completely damaged or hijacked so that they no longer exist, and are completely destroyed. This is the New World Order tactic, so none of us should be surprised, just like I was not surprised when the Ron Paul Presidential run was run off the road and taken over almost effortlessly, it seems, before the first votes in New Hampshire were cast. So let’s get into this issue…If Ann Coulter is so awake now, endorsing Ron Paul and stating that he was right about everything, why won’t she then talk about the things that Ron Paul discusses: the Fed, Codex Alimentarius, the North American Union, the WTO and IMF, what the Second Amendment really is all about, and so on? There is something funny going on here… and I think I know what. If Glen Beck is such a patriot and such a rebel of the mass media now, also promoting Ron Paul, why can’t his research team, after searching for over a week as Beck said, simply find any of the dozens of news articles in Newsweek, the New York Times, the Houston Chronicle, and so on, about the massive FEMA camps all over? Answer: he’s lying. Why is the mass media moving into our territory now, discussing some of the same issues we Truthers and patriots discuss, all of a sudden? If this keeps up, even as Alex Jones hinted at last week, his radio show could become passé. In other words, the movement will be hijacked from Jones, Ron Paul, and other leaders in the genuine patriot movements by the mass media (and the New World Order that controls the mass media), and the mass media will have control of them, just as they almost effortlessly took over the Ron Paul Presidential run’s momentum in the days before the New Hampshire Primary. Let me explain what I think is really going on.

Consider these facts:

1. All of a sudden, starting around late last fall, right when the stock market crash was going on, with a vengeance, the mass corporatist media began telling us that there is a New World Order and a coming world government. And since then, the mass media tells us either that this New World Order and coming world government is great, or they would tell us that it’s bad and it’s only about the bankers—they don’t tell us, for example, that it’s project of the occultist and militaristic corporatists behind the scenes, or that it traces back to Hitler—I didn’t hear Beck cover that story!

2. That same mass media is telling us that the old system is the cause of the economic collapse, and oh no [wink wink], the people might revolt against it (against system and/or the bankers). That old system referred to in 2 is, we are told by the thought-controlling mass media, not the country the Founders set up for us, but rather:

3. our current system of government (which is far from the libertarian Founders’ government, and which is now actually a corporatist system where the government is a ceremonial government, like the Roman Congress was in ancient Rome),

4. the banks (but not the globalist banks, IMF, etc.),

5. capitalism (sure we never really have had it in the past 150 years—instead we’ve only had corporatism—but what traces of capitalism we’ve had are now being castigated [GM’s failed business model, etc.] or called nonexistent by the mass media, needing to be replaced by socialistic systems, such as with the NewsWeek cover story: We Are All Socialists Now)

And there are other odd things going on, such as

6. Ann Coulter, who has been unwavering and incredibly rabid and virulent in her pro-war hate for Middle Eastern people, all of a sudden is supporting the most anti-war presidential candidate in decades, saying he was right all along—um… did I hear that right? There are other examples, but these are all stunning, and they are quite new in the mass media. Is any of this making any sense? Because it’s really confusing me—Anne Coulter has never used reason, but now suddenly she wants to? I think it’s all sounding more like the old wolf in sheep’s clothing” than anything else. To understanding the conclusions I am going to bring out in this article, you will have to interconnect all these points, 1-6, at once. Let’s continue…We are being told in the mass media in various ways that these systems (1-3) have failed us, that’s really the problem, and those systems need to be changed (eradicated) in one way or another. But all this (and so much more) has been going on all along for centuries—the banks robbing us, etc.—so why now does the mass media all-at-once decide to announce a few of these tid-bits to us that they’ve covered up for decades? If the mass media suddenly wants to tell us how the banks have ripped us all off, well why didn’t they tell us that in 1913, the 1980s, or maybe even just in 2007? And why not tell us that Obama supported it all? But more importantly, why all-at-once, right at this particular point in time, are we getting these few tid-bits from the mass media? Answer: look what it is doing to the patriot movements; it’s becoming them. Now, also consider that the mass media is telling us a few more things simultaneously, in addition to 1-6:

7. world government is the solution to the failed systems and to the economic collapse, and

8. The conspiracy people were right about a all along.

Now, notice, again, that 1-8 are all happening at once! Coincidence? Hard to believe. The robots and extremists of the mass media (Beck, Hannity, Savage, Limbaugh, Coulter, O’Reilly, and others.) have been such robotic and unfathomable traitors through the years that they can only be carrying out an agenda now too, not trying to report news, attract an audience, or keep their ratings high. Why else would they bring all this up at the very same time? Perhaps Alex Jones is correct, and these propagandists are suddenly just worried about their ratings and their competition from the alternative media. This may be true, but as I said, my theory is that there’s something more serious going on. Here’s the issue: the New World Order wants worldwide rioting, mass death, economic collapse, sacrifice of lower minions and freemasons of the New World Order, compliance with the climate change laws and servitude, and a set up of a Brave New World, all over the course of the next decade or decades. What better way is there to do this than to shock and clean-the-slate of the populace of the world (often called shock doctrine, as a recent book discussed) to get them ready for big changes and compliance with a new world, right when the populace is getting desperate and un-thought-out due to their desperation and increasing poverty, than by introducing them with information about how evil the world leaders are and world system is (but all along keeping the real completely unseen master corporatists out of the picture)? Answer: you merely implement 1-8, where a key element in that and to cause revolt is to hijack the real patriot movements with the vacuous, uninformed, undirected, and undisciplined false patriotism of Beck, Coulter, and the rest, by simply taking over their discussions, as seems to be starting right now with Coulter, Beck, and others. There! That’s the issue, and it could easily result in a quick total hijacking of the power the patriot movements have accumulated.

Proof that the New World Order wants to use the Truth Movement and similar movements for the aforementioned aims was possibly even seen last weekend when some news agencies said that the Pittsburgh police shooting was due to the shooter listening to the words of Glen Beck and Alex Jones (notice how those two were coupled together), not because of, for example, the violent tendencies of the shooter (he was accused of assaulting a girlfriend in the past), his economic hardships, or some other cause. As if Alex Jones has ever promoted violence against police, rather than mild civil disobedience, and/or taking over the government by the people (the latter being the often-mentioned trademarked Alex Jones solution to the New World Order takeover of the country). (Also note that if this is true, there also may be an additional divide-and-conquer maneuver already being set up as 1-8 are implemented: set the revolting parts of the populace against the non-revolting parts.) If Ann Coulter is so awake and patriotic now, why doesn’t she point out that alcohol and Big Pharma kills hundreds of thousands each year, many times what violence does, or violence with guns, and not listening to Alex Jones or Glen Beck? Answer: because she’s carrying out the typical Big Media agenda that she’s ordered to. Nothing new. Now, also remember before 9/11, when Alex Jones predicted it a few weeks before? He was able to do that because the mass media—the mouthpiece and brainwashing device of the New World Order—was telling us it was going to happen. Doesn’t it seem like the mass media is again telling us something here, also, when you interconnect points 1-8? They are telling us that 1-8 will happen, that the old world and our current way of life will be destroyed, that We the People will destroy it with our riots, with our contributing to the economic problems, and through our adherence to the old system of government (described above), so that the new communism will inevitably set in—it’s all the fault of We the People. Now where have we heard this sort of a story before! (Hint: after World War II, we were told that the war was caused by the mass madness of the world citizenry, not by the New World Order, and thus Truman had to set up all those mental health acts that he did in order that We the People could be cured of our irrationalism.)So, the mass media, again, is merely telling us what is going to happen, that it’s all our fault. So, let me summarize: it is clear to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that the corporatist New World Order is now using what most of us think of as the most hard-core of the patriot movements in order to carry out their agenda. LET ME SAY THAT IN DIFFERENT WORDS SO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM GETTING ACROSS TO YOU: The real patriot movements are getting so large, so powerful, so pervasive, that the New World Order has no choice but to fully hijack these movements if they are to carry out their planned Brave New World agendas. More specifically: the New World Order is going to make our Truth and Patriot movements their primary tools of operation to carry out Eugenics and so forth.

That’s my theory, and my prediction.

How, you might ask, will it all work? Well, if you want to get a revolt going, why not disclose false flag terror (such as Michael Savage started to do recently for the first time on his radio show where he foretold Obama’s upcoming Reichstag)? That sure would do it if the mass media went that far and all-at-once got this the real-ness of false flag terror into the minds of the sappy and unfocussed citizenry, shocking them to the core by totally upsetting their established belief system, all right when that citizenry was destitute, in a depression, filled with bird flu epidemic fears, with millions living tent cities, hungry and cold, and so on, as is most likely going to be the case this fall or winter. Was Savage’s recent comment a prelude to this? It is quite obvious the New World Order is pushing for violence, as Alex Jones has been pointing out. The New World Order, through our city, state and Federal governments, is pushing the populace so hard now, more and more each day, with impossible taxation (who can pay all the taxes as we fall into massive depression?), with crazy new laws (banning home-schooling, etc.), police taserings, making home gardens illegal (just like the King in the book Robin Hood banned hunting deer), announcing that the bankers are robbing us, announcing that the government is not helping the economic crisis but is fuelling it (of course they don’t disclose all the details with this), and most importantly, getting ready to remove the Second Amendment and all of the Constitution. They are creating a system where we are not Americans, but where we are all living like the slaves on the plantations in the 1800s, where only revolt (violence) could follow, because it is being pre-planned, and our movements are going to be used to fuel the violent revolts, unless we wake up to this possibility and start discussing these issues with urgency. Don’t forget how quickly the Ron Paul Presidential run was hijacked!

So what does the New World Order want with all the rioting? Well, there are several things. Firstly, this is part of the New World Order’s religious festival: spread as much mayhem, panic, misery and pure blood chaos as possible—this is a work of art to the New World Order; it is like listening to Beethoven to them. Some of you may find this difficult to understand, but they attain their religious experience by this theater, as they often call it (remember Iraq was called a theater around the time of Shock and Awe? Notice the word Awe there, also).If you still have trouble believing this, then ask yourself a question: What is the New World Order waiting for in killing billions? They’ve had super technology to kill as many of us as they want to for decades. They are building up our numbers in order to slaughter us, because the slaughter itself is their art, their high, just like the ancient hallucinatory ballgame (the pitzlawal, as it’s called by the Maya) of death-entertainment was for the Mayan shaman kings, a little like the ancient Roman gladiator fights, and a lot like the carnage in Iraq. What is beautiful to the New World Order is a world of deformed, sickened, ultra-violent, unintelligent desperate people, like the Island of Dr. Moreau. That’s the religious festival of the New World Order, and the aforementioned rioting is a key issue involved. If we want to be free, to be kings of ourselves, we have to realize this, to know the enemy as best we can, or else we will just go along the pitzlawal we are all currently caught in. The way to be kings of ourselves is to become intelligent, knowledgeable, deeply and genuinely religious, and self-sufficient in the way the Indians used to be—that’s the sort of civil disobedience we need, and which Henry David Thoreau lived when he wrote his influenial book on civil disobedience. Ok, so a New World Order religious festival is the first point of the rioting. Another is that the rioting is the way to transform the nation into a shock state, and thus bring about an entry of the Brave New World. The old world has to be destroyed in order to set up the new world, and that means that our minds, our memories, our ways of life, and our peaceful day-to-day lifestyles of American comfort, the security for our families, and so on, all have to be destroyed, sending us into a mass state of shock (shock doctrine). I think a lot of people in our movement are oblivious to this intention, this plan, this hijacking of our movement. But isn’t that what they always do? So, what should we do? Do we panic and start fighting with all the other patriots and Truthers for every little thing we disagree over? I disagree with other Truthers about many ideas, so should I fight with them about that constantly? Or should I fight the enemy? We of course must focus on the fight. But what is the fight? The fight is the fight for truth. But what is the truth? The truth is what we can experience and see with our eyes, right in front of our face. And what we see is the destruction of the Constitution and of the nation we live in.

Report: Iran to launch new satellite into orbit APR 14,09

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's official news agency reports President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the country plans to launch another satellite.The Tuesday report by IRNA quotes Ahmadinejad as saying despite concerns in the West over the launch of Iran's first domestically made satellite in February, Iran plans to launch another satellite into space. This one will go higher than the previous satellite.There were no details about when the launch would happen.The first domestically made Iranian satellite ended its mission in late March after some 40 days in orbit.Iran's ambitious space program has worried the U.S. and other world powers since the same rocket technology used to launch satellites can also deliver warheads. Iran rejects the concerns.

Police: Explosives stashed in West Bank mosque Tue Apr 14, 8:30 am ET

RAMALLAH, West Bank – Palestinian police say they have uncovered an explosives lab in a West Bank mosque.Police spokesman Adnan Damiri says eight suspects have been arrested since the discovery several days ago.West Bank police loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas have been going after the Islamic militant Hamas group for two years. Hamas seized control of Gaza in 2007, and Abbas fears a repeat in the West Bank.Damiri said Tuesday that the lab had two bombs and was hidden under a mosque in the town of Qalqiliya. He wouldn't say which militant group ran the lab, but claimed it was part of attempts to topple Abbas' government. He provided no evidence.In Gaza, a Hamas spokesman denounced what he called political arrests in the West Bank.

Israel's Peres kicks off new career as TV host Tue Apr 14, 6:18 am ET

JERUSALEM – Israel's 85-year-old president, Shimon Peres, is kicking off a new career — as a TV host.The Nobel Peace Prize laureate's show will be called A Meeting of the Minds at the President's House,his spokeswoman, Ayelet Frisch, said Tuesday.

The program will deal with important issues in Israeli society and topics close to the President's heart,she said. One episode, airing this week, deals with relations between Arabs and Jews in Israel. In another, Peres will speak with up-and-coming young Israelis from different fields.She says an episode will be shown about every two months on Israel's national TV station.A member of Israel's founding generation, Peres is known as a tireless promoter of his country and a man of ambitious dreams of bringing Mideast peace.He is also tech-savvy, and has launched a blog and a Facebook page. He has thrown his support behind nanotechnology research and an initiative to bring electric-powered cars to Israel.Peres won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 along with Israel's then-prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat for their efforts to reach an accord.
