TORONTO STRIKE CONTINUES

Brussels puts forward stricter rules for banks
LUCIA KUBOSOVA Today JULY 14,09 @ 09:23 CET

Banks in the European Union will have to restrict their investment in risky operations under new rules proposed by Brussels as part of a response to the current financial crisis.We are acting ambitiously to prevent lightning striking twice,said Jose Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission, the EU's main regulator introducing the new legislation on Monday (13 July).The blueprint aims to revise the bloc's existing rules on capital requirements for banks in two key areas – securitisation and remuneration, viewed by experts as the key factors contributing to the crisis in the financial sector. Both are linked with risk taking in the financial sector: securitisation involves pooling and repackaging of cash-flow-producing financial assets into securities then sold to investors that could worsen or lose their credit if the transaction is improperly structured. Banks' remuneration policies can motivate their managers to seek short-term profits in risky areas such as securities which could lead to further problems.But under the proposed new EU rules, the risk-taking would be more costly and more strictly supervised: banks will be restricted in their investments in highly complex re-securitisations if they cannot demonstrate that they have fully understood the risks involved.The new rules will also tighten up disclosure requirements to increase the market confidence that is necessary to encourage banks to start lending to each other again, and roughly double their current trading book capital requirements.

On top of that, national supervisors will be asked to review banks' payment regulations and impose sanctions if they do not follow the newly agreed principles – if and when the Brussels' bill gets adopted by the European Parliament and national governments.The requirements on pay and bonuses are designed to put an end to the culture of excessive risk-taking for short-term success at the expense of long-term profitability and sound risk management,said EU internal market commissioner Charlie McCreevy.This package of amendments will strengthen the risk management, transparency and sound investment practices that are key to a healthy and stable banking system, he added.The EU executive filed its proposal on the same day as the so-called Basel Committee on Banking Supervision announced it had adopted its final draft on global reform of the financial sector which will also demand banks to hold more capital against re-securitised products, according to the Financial Times.However, the full details of the world's banking reform to be adopted by the key global powers will only be published later this year.The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is an institution created in 1974 by the central bank Governors of a group of ten nations - Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the US.

Norway to renew regional aid for EU newcomers
VALENTINA POP Today JULY 14,09 @ 08:01 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – Non-EU members Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are set to renew a five-year funding scheme of over €1 billion for energy, social and democracy projects in the bloc's poorest member states. We have made good progress and we hope to finalize the negotiations before the summer break,Rune Bjastad, spokesman for the Norwegian mission to the EU told this website.Norway is the leading negotiator with the European Commission, with Oslo funding 97 percent of the current €1.3 billion allocated to EU's 12 most recent members, as well as Greece, Portugal and Spain.In parallel to the renewal of the funding scheme, which ended in April, Oslo is also negotiating bigger export quotas for its fish products onto the EU market.We've had a tough but constructive dialogue with the commission on several matters, and we hope to see a conclusion very soon,Mr Bjastad added.The funding is likely to increase, but the exact amount is still being negotiated. A commission spokeswoman declined to comment until the ongoing negotiations were finalised.Norway had attempted to remove Greece and Spain from the next funding scheme, and reallocate the money to the poorer newcomers. But so long as the two states are still receiving EU money for some of their poorer regions to catch up with the rest of the bloc's economies, Norway was unable to completely scrap them from the scheme.

Oslo already made a move in this direction in 2004, when it increased its contribution almost tenfold, but put half of the money in a separate fund, the co-called Norway Grants, which excluded Spain, Greece and Portugal. Only projects from Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Cyprus and Malta, and from 2007 Bulgaria and Romania, were accepted.The EEA Grants worth €672 million, which include contributions from Iceland and Liechtenstein, also accept Spanish, Greek and Portuguese projects, along with the ones from the 12 new member states.Both funds are administered by the same financial office, based in Brussels. The projects are similar to those funded under the EU's regional policy, but focus more on environment, energy efficiency, as well as democracy promotion, non-governmental organisations and implementing the requirements for the border-free area known as the Schengen zone.Projects had to be submitted by April 2009, but reimbursements will still run until 31 December 2011.

Poland receives most

Examples of grants include a zero-emissions conference centre in Hungary, worth €523,246 and inaugurated in June 2008. It has the largest sun-fed power capacity in the country, hosting a regional NGO focusing on environmental problems in Central and Eastern Europe.Cross-border cooperation in the broader region within the Carpathian mountains – spanning Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine is financed with a €398,863 grant, while Portugal got €408,970 for a project aimed at saving the dolphins from the fishermen's nets.With over half a billion, Poland is the biggest net recipient of the EEA/Norway Grants, followed by Hungary (€127.4 million), the Czech Republic (€104 million) and Romania (€91.4 million).The three Baltic states received some €140 million altogether, while better-off Spain, Portugal and Greece got roughly €80 million for projects contracted in the last five years.Money can be administered directly by an NGO or by an office within the national government. In the next five years, the NGO model is likely to become stronger.

Keeping an eye on the money

Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are keen to see their money spent correctly and have set up several cross-checking and auditing mechanisms.It is important for the donor states to see that their money is being spent on good projects, without suspicions of misuse of funds, Sigve Soldal Bjorstad, spokesman for the EEA/Norway Grants financial mechanism office told EUobserver.National authorities are responsible for the follow-up and control of funds, but the office also makes random audits, as well as site visits to projects worth over 2 million euro and where risk factors appear.If there is evidence of fraud or mismanagement of funds, the reimbursements can be stopped. So far, the three donor countries have not experienced such cases, but with over 1,000 ongoing projects, there is more follow-up to be done, Mr Bjorstad said.

EU to unfreeze pre-accession farm cash for Romania JULY 13,09

Romania will soon receive a European Union reimbursement of 189 million euros ($262.9 million) in agricultural funding blocked last year due to irregularities, the European Commission said on Monday.The cash is part of an EU funding programme known as Sapard granted for Romania between 200O and 2006 to help it prepare its farming sector for accession to the European Union. Romania and Bulgaria became full EU members in January 2007.Under the scheme, Romania was allowed to spend the money up to the end of 2008, a deadline then extended to the end of 2009.But in July last year, the Commission said it had found shortcomings in Romania's farm payment system, and decided to suspend its usual reimbursement of Sapard fund claims submitted by Bucharest until the situation was rectified.We've written a letter to the Romanian authorities to unfreeze this money,one Commission official said.They (Romania) have implemented an action plan, an internal audit and acceded to our request for more information,he added.The EU earmarked 1.16 billion euros in Sapard funding for Romania over the 2000-06 period, of which 957 million was declared by Bucharest as utilised, he said. The Commission had only reimbursed 768 million, leaving 189 million euros blocked.They haven't got long to spend this money, only until the end of this year,the official said.

South Korea - President - Korea reaches FTA deal with EU,FTA negotiations between Korea and the European Union, which have lasted over two years, reached a final agreement on Monday (July 13).

In a joint press conference following the Korea-Sweden summit in Stockholm, President Lee Myung-bak said both he and Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt welcomed the final free trade agreement reached between Korea and the EU.Lee also said the two leaders expected that the Korea-EU FTA signing process will proceed soon. Sweden currently holds the six-month rotating EU presidency.The Swedish Prime Minister said that there had been significant progress in the bilateral FTA negotiations over the last week, and hoped that Sweden would be able to iron out differences of opinions among the EU members until the deal is finally signed.Meanwhile, Korea's Trade Minister Kim Jong-hoon and his Swedish counterpart Ewa Bjorling had a meeting and gave out a press communique detailing the final trade agreement between Korea and the EU, which is considered by many as the conclusion of the Korea-EU FTA deal.Following the agreement reached on Monday, the two sides are said to begin legal review of the agreement right away and are expected to initial the document around September. The bilateral FTA is expected to take effect late this year or early next year, after the agreement is reviewed and ratified by 28 legislatures -- Korea and EU member countries.

The EU, having 27 member nations, is the world's largest single economic bloc with a population of 500 million and a GDP of US trillion. For Korea, the bloc is its second largest trading partner after China.Regarding the agreement, President Lee said that the Korea-EU FTA will not only bring benefits to the two economies, but also send a strong message to the world against global protectionism.The president also said earlier in the day through a radio address broadcast in Korea that the Korea-EU FTA will bring epoch-making changes to Korea's trade.

Buzek election hailed as historic
ANDREW WILLIS Today JULY 14,09 @ 14:51 CET

EUOBSERVER / STRASBOURG – Polish centre-right MEP Jerzy Buzek was elected as president of the European parliament on Tuesday (14 July) following a secret ballot held in a packed Strasbourg plenary chamber. The election of a deputy from a former communist country which joined the European Union just five years ago was hailed by politicians across the political divide as an historic event.Speaking of how he once dreamed of a Poland free from communism, Mr Buzek said: Today I have been elected president of the European parliament, that's a sign of how things can change.I wish to work with all of you regardless of your political beliefs,he told MEPs, adding that climate change, the economic crisis, and bringing citizens closer to the European project would be among his main priorities. Mr Buzek – a scientist by training - was elected to the EU Parliament in 2004 and subsequently served on the industry, energy and research committees.Between 1997-2001 he served as Polish prime minister and was greatly involved in steering the country towards joining the EU. His membership of the Solidarity movement that overthrew communism in the country in the 1980s was also singled out for much praise by MEPs aware of the symbolic importance Mr Buzek's election.

We Poles know that even the unthinkable can be possible if you really want it, former commissioner Danuta Hubner who was recently elected as an MEP told EUobserver.Asked how she was handling the changeover to her new job, she said so far there seemed to be far more waiting around involved. I hope that will change,she added.

Pre-decided result

After the vote that saw Mr Buzek win 555 of the 644 valid votes cast, party leaders signalled their broad support for the new president.Every member of the parliament will be delighted that the parliament is no longer split between east and west, said leader of the centre-right European Peoples' Party Joseph Daul, to which Mr Buzek belongs.I feel that your election of the European parliament is a historical moment, it is 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall,said Socialist leader Martin Schulz whose party is the second largest in the parliament. In a press conference before the vote, co-president of the Greens, Mr Daniel Cohn-Bendit, also said he supported Mr Buzek as the new president, but on an individual basis rather than because of any party political agreement.A recent three-way deal struck between the Socialists, the EPP and the Liberals whereby Mr Buzek would take the post for the first 2.5 years of the 5-year term, followed by Mr Schulz for the second 2.5 years meant Tuesday's vote was little more than a formality.The only other candidate who ran for the post of president was far-left Swedish MEP Eva- Britt Svensson who won 89 votes. Former Liberal leader Graham Watson pulled out last week as a result of the three-way deal.

Over attendance?

The pre-determined nature of the vote threatened to leave the atmosphere in the chamber a little flat but an extra buzz was generated when a loud noise emanated from the chamber's ceiling shortly before the vote was due to take place, startling MEPs.

Outgoing parliament president Hans-Gert Poettering later informed the chamber that the noise came from the room's ventilators who were struggling to deal with the higher than normal attendance at the monthly meeting. The announcement was met by robust applause by MEPs who are frequently criticised over their poor attendance records.However the loudest clapping was reserved for Mr Poettering as he handed over the reins to Mr Buzek.On behalf of all our colleagues, I would like to thank you for the respect you have won our house and for your political style, said Mr Buzek, presenting Mr Poettering with a statue of St Barbara – the patron saint of miners - made out of coal from his region of Poland.

Israel dismisses EU peace ideas (Reuters)

13 July 2009 JERUSALEM - Israel’s foreign minister on Monday dismissed a call by the European Union’s foreign policy chief for U.N. recognition of a Palestinian state if Israel and the Palestinians fail to reach a peace agreement.Peace must be built, not imposed,Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman told Israel Radio, questioning whether remarks made by the EU’s Javier Solana in a lecture in London on Saturday represented the policies of the European Union. With all due respect to Solana, he’s about to retire ... and we should not overstate the importance of his statement,Lieberman said.Solana said mediators should set a timetable for an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement and if the parties are not able to stick to it, then a solution backed by the international community should be put on the table. After such a deadline has passed, he said, a U.N. Security Council resolution should proclaim the adoption of the two-state solution and accept a Palestinian state as a full member of the United Nations.Israeli-Palestinian peace talks backed by a quartet of international mediators — the European Union, the United States, the United Nations and Russia — are currently frozen.Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said he will not revive the negotiations unless Israel halts settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank, in accordance with a 2003 peace road map that also commits the Palestinians to rein in militants.Lieberman, who heads an ultranationalist party in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government, questioned in the radio interview whether Abbas, who holds sway only in the West Bank, spoke for all Palestinians. Who exactly does Abu Mazen (Abbas) represent? At best, half the people,Lieberman said, noting the Gaza Strip has been under the control of Hamas Islamists since they took over the territory in 2007 after defeating fighters loyal to Abbas’s secular Fatah movement. In remarks to his cabinet on Sunday, Netanyahu repeated a call to Abbas to meet immediately.

A year on, Mediterranean Union has made little progress

Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Sarkozy hoped to foster dialogue between Arab and Israeli leadersThe Union for the Mediterranean, launched a year ago, was meant to revive cooperation between the EU and countries bordering on the Mediterranean. But little progress has been made on pressing issues in the region. For almost 14 years now, the member states of the European Union have been working with 16 partners across the Southern Mediterranean and the Middle East on regional projects. This network used to be known as the Barcelona Process, but in 2008, it was re-launched as the Union for the Mediterranean, or Euromed, by the ever-industrious French President, Nicolas Sarkozy at the time of his European presidency. Euromed is the only EU body in which both Israel and Arab states are represented, and if Sarkozy had prevailed, it would have only counted countries with a Mediterranean coastline among its members.But German Chancellor Angela Merkel protested against this exclusive Club Med and eventually, she got her way. Sarkozy opened his Mediterranean Union to all 27 EU member states. At a short summit in Paris on July 13, 2008, 43 members officially joined Euromed.We know that we're not going to find solutions to all our problems in a single afternoon,Sarkozy told the summit participants. But we're determined to look for suitable opportunities. We must succeed in building on this treaty. We must become an instrument of peace to serve our community on the Mediterranean.For her part, Merkel stressed that Euromed belonged to all EU states, even Sweden, Poland or Germany, which of course, don't have a border on the Mediterranean.Bildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Merkel objected to an exclusive Club Med.This conference is a very, very good start for a new level of cooperation,Merkel said.The Barcelona Process has been revived, and given a wholly new dynamic. I believe that all of Europe - with all its states - working with those Mediterranean countries which are not a part of the EU sends an important signal.

Energy, environment top priorities

Euromed foreign ministers met in November 2008 to discuss their areas of cooperation. They agreed that they should fund projects in the areas of energy security, higher education and research, and environmental protection, with a particular focus on fighting pollution in the Mediterranean Sea. They also planned to regularly discuss the political situation in the Middle East, and the fight against terrorism.It was agreed that two ministers would preside over the meetings - one from Europe and one from a non-European Mediterranean country. For EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner, this form of tangible cooperation signifies the real difference between the old Barcelona Process and the new Euromed.An important political impulse is coming from this new union,she said.The Barcelona Process has a new name, and is incorporating our southern neighbors more, as shown by this co-presidency.Barcelona was chosen as Euromed's administrative seat, and in Slovenia, a Mediterranean University has since been established. But many of the ambitious projects, which depend on state money and co-financing from private investors, have been mired down by the current financial crisis.Politically, much of Euromed's work was stalled by Israel's military operation in Gaza at the start of the year. Now though, the Arab representatives are beginning to show an interest in returning to the table.

Progress slowed by crisis, war

On July 7, EU finance ministers met with Euromed's Egyptian co-chairman, Finance Minister Youssef Boutros-Ghali. But following the meeting, Swedish Finance Minister Anders Borg, whose country holds the EU presidency, had only well-worn phrases to offer.Bildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Despite an ambitious agenda, real progress has been mired down, in part because of the financial crisis.Euromed is, of course, very important for the European Union,Borg said.It was clear in our discussions that it's very important to move forward with reforms.There are clear reports that, on the southern coast of the Mediterranean, much progress has been made in reforms. And the cooperation among the southern neighboring countries has improved.Political analyst Daniela Schwarzer of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs says that, on balance, not much was achieved during Euromed's first year. The region faces big problems such as a growing migration crisis and a widening prosperity gap, but there have been no political answers, she wrote in an article for the newspaper Das Parlament. Euromed hasn't made the quantum leap France was hoping for, she concluded.Now, with Sweden at the helm of the EU presidency, there's not likely to be a spike in interest in Mediterranean affairs. The Swedes are much more interested in the problems facing the EU's neighbours to the east. Sweden and Poland, for example, decided to form an eastern partnership which was made official in May at a summit in Prague.Author: Bernd Riegert (dc)Editor: Michael Knigge.

Momentum builds toward possible end of this U.S. agency ,Rep. Ron Paul: Congress can revoke central bank's charter at any time July 13, 2009 8:22 pm Eastern By Chelsea Schilling 2009 WorldNetDaily

Federal Reserve

A movement to audit the Federal Reserve – the private institution that virtually controls U.S. interest rates, money supply and other economic influences – is gaining momentum in the House and Senate while the Fed ramps up its efforts to thwart scrutiny of its books.House Resolution 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, now has 260 co-sponsors with many members of the House Financial Services Committee – where the bill currently resides – signed on already.Likewise, Senate Bill 604, Federal Reserve Sunshine Act, orders a complete audit of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the Federal Reserve Banks before the end of 2010. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., has eight co-sponsors and remains in the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.

Sign WND's petition urging the U.S. Senate to audit the Federal Reserve!

As WND reported, members of the Senate recently blocked efforts by Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., to vote on his amendment to a spending bill that provides money for Congress' own budget. DeMint's plan was to add an amendment to the spending bill that would have provided for an audit of the Fed to include information about its funding facilities, market operations and any agreements with foreign banks and governments, DeMint told senators, according to Reuters.In a July 9 hearing, Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, questioned Federal Reserve Chairman Donald Kohn about the Fed's transparency. I think the Federal Reserve has been quite transparent and has become much more transparent under Chairman Bernanke about what we're doing and why we're doing it, Kohn told Paul.And I think we can retain our independence and your ability to trust what we're doing only by explaining to you what we're doing and why we're doing it.

Paul asked why the Fed cites public interest when it refuses to open up the central bank's most sensitive decisions to political scrutiny and release discretely recorded transcripts of its policy meetings in the next five years. Kohn made his case for continued Fed secrecy.I would be very concerned that releasing those transcripts would inhibit debate,Kohn said.I think it's in the public interest that we have an unfettered debate within the Open Market Committee, that we are able to speculate among ourselves … that there be no inhibition on the back and forth within the Open Market Committee. Frankly, I've been at the Federal Reserve for several decades now. In my view, publishing the transcripts themselves have had a somewhat inhibiting effect on the way the debate is carried out. … People would be very worried if their remarks were going to be made public very, very quickly. They'd be very worried about what they would say and they'd be much more careful about what they say, and that is not in the best public interest.Stunning Fed fraud DVD just $4.95! The Money Masters: How Banks Create the World's Money.Kohn said releasing details on the central bank's most sensitive decisions might create higher long-term interest rates and damage the U.S. credit rating.The Federal Reserve has stepped up defense of its books by hiring Linda Robertson, former lobbyist for Enron and former adviser to three of the Clinton administration's Treasury secretaries, to counter Congress skepticism about its growing power and combat legislation requiring an audit of the central bank.

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas
In a recent Straight Talk commentary, Rep. Paul wrote, Claims are made that auditing the Fed would compromise its independence. However, by independence, they really mean secrecy. The Fed clearly cherishes its vast power to create and spend trillions of dollars, diluting the value of every other dollar in circulation, making deals with other central banks, and bailing out cronies, all to the detriment of the taxpayer, and to the enrichment of themselves. I am happy to challenge this type of independence.Recently, two expert economists on the Federal Reserve – Allan Meltzer, a professor of political economy, and John Taylor, a former Treasury official – warned Congress against expanding the Fed's power, the New York Times reported. They told a House panel that the Fed has routinely failed to recognize financial crises until after they happen.I do not know of any single clear example in which the Federal Reserve acted in advance to head off a crisis or a series of banking or financial failures,said Meltzer.The Daily Paul names Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate who have not signed on to co-sponsor H.R. 1207 or S. 604 in its List of Shame.You've never needed to understand money like you need to understand it now! Web of Debt: The Shocking Truth About Our Money System and How We Can Break Free unravels the deception of the Federal Reserve and presents a crystal clear picture of the financial abyss towards which we are heading.Paul long has opposed the power held by the Federal Reserve and its ability to manipulate the nation's economy. He has launched multiple proposals to get rid of the private banking powerhouse, without significant support.But in light of the current economic downturn – the government takeover of the banking industry, the government's demands for various auto industry bankruptcies, the government's appointment of a pay czar – change apparently is coming.To understand how unwise it is to have the Federal Reserve, one must first understand the magnitude of the privileges they have,Paul said.They have been given the power to create money, by the trillions, and to give it to their friends, under any terms they wish, with little or no meaningful oversight or accountability.Paul has even said Congress should reassert its constitutional authority over monetary policy.

The only accountability the Federal Reserve has is ultimately to Congress, which granted its charter and can revoke it at any time,he wrote.It is Congress' constitutional duty to protect the value of the money, and they have abdicated this responsibility for far too long.It is very encouraging to finally see the issue getting some needed exposure and traction. It is regrettable that it took a crisis of this magnitude to get a serious debate on this issue.Paul's bill would also make the Federal Reserve's funding facilities, including the Primary Dealer Credit Facility, Term Securities Lending Facility, and Term Asset-Backed Securities Lending Facility subject to congressional oversight.Note: Concerned individuals may contact members of the House Committee of Financial Services in reference to H.R. 1207 and the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs committee in reference to its companion bill, S. 604. They may also contact their respective representatives and senators

A force of one: the Federal Reserve By Chuck Norris July 13, 2009
1:00 am Eastern 2009 WND

I agree with Judge Andrew Napolitano, who said last week, We know more about the CIA than we do about the Federal Reserve.The Federal Reserve is the Freemasonry of government agencies. It is a virtual secret society unto themselves – a group of unelected brokers who hold the value of our dollar in the palms of their hands. This one agency, with its power to raise and lower interest rates, has exercised more control over the economy than any other government body. So with that type of single-handed power, why should we be surprised when the U.S. Senate blocked a bill last week to audit the Federal Reserve? Tis true! Rep. Ron Paul and more than half of the House cosponsored the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, HR 1207, which they hope to have hearings on soon. On the Senate side, however, Sens. Jim DeMint, Mike Crapo and David Vitter cosponsored S 604, companion legislation introduced by Bernie Sanders. But it was stopped cold before even being introduced on the floor on procedural grounds.Could it really be a mere coincidence that the bill to audit the Federal Reserve was refused from even being introduced and that this agency remains the quick convenience store-house of money for the Obama administration's borrowing and bailout monies? Again, as Judge Napolitano said, The Obama administration not only doesn't want the Federal Reserve audited, it now wants to put the power to regulate all financial institutions – banks, insurance companies, brokerage houses – into the hands of this super secret bank. What are they afraid we might see if we get a chance to look at their books?

As if there are not enough signs of the Fed's inadequacy, two expert economists on the Federal Reserve specifically warned Congress last Thursday not to expand the power of the Fed to oversee and monitor public financial structures. Allan H. Meltzer, professor of economics at Carnegie-Mellon University and one of the central bank's most prominent historians, having written a three-volume reference work on it, conveyed a series of U.S. financial collapses over the last three decades in which the Fed had either failed to take preventive action or made things worse. And the White House and majority on Capitol Hill want to give the Federal Reserve more power and autonomy? Have they finally lost their minds? So why does this federal agency need a complete auditing? It's very simple. Because America is in the worst economic situation since the Great Depression, the value of the dollar is tanking on the world market and the Federal Reserve wields the greatest power to control it with virtually no accountability – let alone that the American people and even Congress have virtually no knowledge of what those inside are doing day to day. On Dec. 23, 1913, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act, creating a seven-member board of governors (appointed by the president and approved by Congress) and 12 regional banks. From thereafter, banks continued lending money to the public, but the Fed controlled the flow of money via fluctuating interest rates and the tides of credit and money supply and demand. (This was the gravest governmental mistake in 1913.A close second was the ratification of the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, which mandated income taxes as national law.)

The way I see it, there are two primary problems with the Federal Reserve. First, it's very existence is a sheer contradiction of the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. As Ron Paul explained last week:Our Founding Fathers never intended for a single entity such as the Federal Reserve to have this much power. In fact, there is no authority in the Constitution for the federal government to create a central bank, to enact legal tender laws, or to print paper money. The 10th Amendment is quite clear that The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.The fact is, the Federal Reserve is one of the best examples of government control run amok and its oppression over its people. It rules by dangling carrots, cheap rates and loans, before the American public, which in turn oppresses people by their inability to resist further debt. The Fed is the dealer in greed and debt – and its drugs are easy money and credit. Under the Federal Reserve System, Americans and our economy have to return to the Federal Reserve for repeated fixes like a drug addict. Otherwise everything goes into the tank.Secondly, the Federal Reserve is flat out bad for the economy in the long run because it creates false fronts or temporary escalations in the free market, which eventually cycle around and lead to downturns or more needs for other Fed fixes. Even if it creates several cycles of credit rushes (which it deems as signs of prosperity), sooner or later the false foundation crumbles, and we find ourselves in an economic hole that we or the Fed can't bail us out of – which is exactly where we are now in this recession.The fact is, if we can get the flow of the Federal Reserve under control, others drawing from its wells will become more manageable and accountable. Its open-market operations and dealings with central banks and foreign powers, at very least, must have oversight! But you can bet Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are going to fight to prevent the passage of any legislation that regulates the Federal Reserve because they are in cahoots with the White House and also don't want the trade secrets of the Federal Reserve revealed nor its power restricted. Why? Because its power benefits them, plain and simple. It is right now being used by the Obama administration and the Democratic majority for political expedience and special interests.

We need to return to a country that lives within its means – that steps off the credit merry-go-rounds to a pay-as-you-go republic, as it was in the beginning. I believe that so firmly that the only chapter on financial recovery I included in my New York Times best-seller, Black Belt Patriotism,is simply titled Stop America's Nightmare of Debt.In it, I advise a return to the fiscal prudence of men like Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was not opposed to borrowing, but he did recognize the danger of ballooning government deficits and increasing taxes. He elaborated to George Washington,I am anxious about everything which may affect our credit. My wish would be, to possess it in the highest degree, but to use it little.It's unfortunate that more leaders today didn't agree with Jefferson, or James Madison, who said at the time,I go on the principle that a public debt is a public curse.Jefferson's attitude toward debt was simple, and he gave the best advice one could get:The conclusion then, is, that neither the representatives of a nation, nor the whole nation itself assembled, can validly engage debts beyond what they may pay in their own time.They believed in the biblical precedent,The wicked borrows and does not repay.Private debt is a private matter. But it should not be encouraged or enticed, especially by the federal government! That's why I believe the Federal Reserve needs to be abolished. The U.S. ran just fine without it – before its inception in 1913. We had financial crises before its existence and after it, but its intervention has been proven historically only to make things worse. Our founders would have never tolerated its abusive power or methods of bribery. It is not only a detriment to the economy and the very existence of a representative form of government like ours, but to all Americans who want to experience true freedom.Henry Ford was probably right when he said,It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.In the meantime, however, until some act of God or the people do away with that self-regulating and fraudulent government agency, the least we can do is get the Federal Reserve under control by passing HR 1207 in the House and S 604 in the Senate. Write today and demand that your representatives support the bills that require an audit of the Federal Reserve.

Civic Worker Strike Enters Week Four Monday July 13, 2009 CityNews.ca Staff
A strike by civic workers has entered its fourth week, and garbage isn't the only thing that's piling up.

Tempers are also mounting.

On Sunday, the trash drop-off site at Caledonia Park was also the site of an altercation between a worker on job action and a resident trying to drop off his household waste.I got maggots in here, he yelled. You want a f--king raise? I hope you get one. But don't stop [me from putting out] my garbage.Picketers were letting in just one car every 15 minutes, leading to wait times of several hours.

Representatives from The Canadian Union of Public Employees say they're waiting for the city's response to their latest counter-offer.From my perspective, I don't think this strike was necessary in the first place,Mayor David Miller announced on Breakfast Television on Monday.It's time for the union to find a way to say yes.The offer includes buying out people's sick bank, replacing it with a short-term disability plan that gives them up to six months of protection; and having raises of one, one, two and three per cent over four years.

Meanwhile, Toronto is making alternate plans for Caribana.

The enormous, colourful festival brings hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity to the city - but because of the strike, some events have changed.The launch, scheduled for Tuesday, will now be held at Yonge-Dundas Square. It was supposed to be held at Nathan Phillips Square.The city and organizers are in negotiations to allow the King and Queen competitions to take place at Lamport Stadium. The wrap-up party is normally held on Centre Island, but if the strike hasn't been resolved, it will be moved.The big parade, though, will still wind its way along the Lake Shore. The city will be providing the services to keep it going.

Neither city or strikers impressing the public: poll
Updated: Fri Jul. 10 2009 11:59:00 PM ctvtoronto.ca

Torontonians are more on the side of Mayor David Miller and city hall than the workers in the current labour dispute, but mostly they want the 19-day strike ended, a poll finds.Miller and the city can't take too much comfort from their support level, according to the poll conducted by The Strategic Counsel for CTV and The Globe and Mail.The city has the support of 33 per cent of Torontonians, while the union can only claim 13 per cent support, according to the poll released Friday.However, 55 per cent of respondents say they support neither side. Forty-five per cent of respondents say their opinion of the mayor and city council has worsened, while that jumps to 65 per cent for city workers and 68 per cent for the unions.It's a plague on all their houses,pollster Tim Woolstencroft of The Strategic Counsel told ctvtoronto.ca.At least 90 per cent of the respondents either strongly or somewhat agree that the city has gotten dirtier since the strike began on June 22 and that the garbage strike poses a health hazard.Three-quarters want the provincial legislature recalled to order the strikers back to work -- and once the strike is over, 65 per cent would approve of privatizing garbage services to prevent further strikes.Support for privatization jumps to 76 per cent in Etobicoke, which already has privatized garbage collection.About three-quarters of respondents say municipal employees should not go on strike during a economic recession and that they should go back to work and accept the terms the city has offered.Only 27 per cent of respondents agreed that the city should give the strikers what ever they want to end the dispute. There's really nothing supportive of the unions or striking workers,Woolstencroft said, adding, It's not an auspicious time to be out on strike.

This poll was conducted online between July 8 and 10.

Miller made public the city's offer to 24,000 striking inside and outside workers on Friday morning -- an offer rejected in the afternoon by the leaders of CUPE locals 416 and 79. It isn't known how many respondents might have known of the announcement. The poll didn't ask any specific questions about the offer. Woolstencroft said the announcement wouldn't have influenced this poll.Despite the apparent support for direct action to end the strike, about three-quarters of respondents say Torontonians are coping well with the disruptions, but Woolstencroft said that 50 per cent claim to have been affected by the strike in some manner.Only three in five agreed that the measures the city had put in place to cope with the strike were helping. That dropped to 49 per cent for Etobicoke residents.

How people cope

People say they have been greatly or somewhat affected by the absence of the following services:

garbage - 58 per cent (64 per cent outside Etobicoke)
other cancelled/disrupted services - 53 per cent
closed parks/recreation programs - 46 per cent
closed swimming pools - 31 per cent
Forty-three per cent of respondents say their garbage is still being picked up. This jumps to 87 per cent in Etobicoke and drops to 36 per cent outside that borough.Only 27 per cent of those who say they are being greatly affected by the strike still have their garbage being picked up. Forty-two per cent of those say they are stockpiling it at home.

Here's how people outside of Etobicoke deal with their garbage:

Stockpile it at home - 38 per cent
Use temporary dumps - 24 per cent
Drop it off with friends/family outside Toronto - 10 per cent
Leave it in parks or public areas - 2 per cent
Methodology

The poll is an online survey of 785 Torontonians conducted using the Research Now Web Perspectives online panel.Traditional telephone polling based on random sampling generates a sampling error commonly known as margin of error.As respondents for this poll were selected from among those who have agreed to be invited to participate in online surveys, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated,trategic Counsel said.However, Woolstencroft said it should provide a solid measure of Toronto public opinion on the strike.We did a whole bunch of parallel polling using traditional methods, and the results are very similar, he said.

U.S. Military to Install Global Internet Architecture Giving a God-like View of Planet Chris Paine Infowars July 13, 2009

Possibly the single most transforming thing in our force,Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has said,will not be a weapons system, but a set of interconnections.Anyone who has ever been a fan of the Terminator mythos knows about the all seeing, all knowing global computer network known as Skynet. Well, the U.S. Military is working on the real deal! The GIG, or Global Information Grid is a worldwide surveillance network that will give anyone linked into it instant information, at the users request, about anything, anytime, anywhere in the world! This project, which began in 2003 under the guidance of Donald Rumsfeld, will give users a God-Like view of the entire world.The Global Information Grid, which began in 2003 under the guidance of Donald Rumsfeld, will give users a God-Like view of the entire world.Robert J. Stevens, chief executive of the Lockheed Martin Corporation, the nation’s biggest military contractor, said he envisioned a highly secure Internet in which military and intelligence activities are fused,shaping 21st-century warfare in the way that nuclear weapons shaped the cold war. Every member of the military would have a picture of the battle space, a God’s-eye view,he said.And that’s real power.

But wait, there’s more!

It seems the U.S. Air Force is investing huge sums of money, which began at a summit at the University of North Dakota, into the development of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Army! Thats right folks, and there is a flavor for everyone planned for full force deployment by 2047! Not only is their the Predator and Global Hawk that the world has grown so familiar with, but they are also developing mid- and short-range UAVs as well. All of which are currently capable of autonomously taking off, flying en route to the mission area and landing, allowing for minimal human interaction. The real crazy stuff comes in the form of Fly insect-shaped UAV designed for espionage. These micro-sized vehicles are capable of full audio and video transmission making secrecy a thing of the past! As if that wasn’t enough, the payload on each of these machines vary from Infrared/Electro-optical missiles to being able to deploy nanomachine weapons engineered in various different ways. Able to infect the target(s) resulting in whatever devious malaise they are programed with and ultimately resulting in death.There you have it folks, if they have their way, there will be a global government able to know everything your doing at anytime of the day as well as all your personal information. Able to respond to any threat instantly, allowing the elitist scum to kick back and relax while anyone defying their wishes is eradicated by an unmanned vehicle using any number of weapon types, including nanomachines, to finish the job. Include the eugenics going on today and the successful depopulation of the planet and you have a corporate elitist theme park!

Dive Teams, Choppers Search For Man Missing After Tornado
Sunday July 12, 2009 The Canadian Press

Dive teams and helicopters continued to scour a northwestern Ontario lake Saturday for a man who vanished after a tornado ripped through a hunting and fishing resort.

The twister touched down Thursday night at the Fisherman's Cove Resort on Lac Seul, about 15 kilometres south of Ear Falls, Ont. Search teams have spent the past two days looking for Dennis Kinkaid of Ponca City, Olka., after the cabin he was in was ripped from its foundation and tossed into the water almost a kilometre away. They're still searching in the water,said his wife Dayna Kinkaid from her home in Oklahoma. I can't even explain how I feel right now.The bodies of two other men who were also in the cabin, Bernie Jackson, 65, and Stan Hollis, 78, were pulled from the water yesterday.Kinkaid said her 66-year-old husband was on a fishing trip with Jackson and Hollis. The trio have been driving up to Canada for the past 23 years for an annual vacation, she said. They were to return home on Saturday. This was a guys trip,she said. That was one of their favourite destinations. Kinkaid said police have shown her pictures of where the twister hit and have done a very good job of keeping her updated on search efforts.The twister just levelled that cabin,she said. I guess there's only so much that can be done.The Ontario Provincial Police said they had no new information on Kinkaid's whereabouts as yet.The tornado ranked as an F2 with wind speeds between 180 and 240 kilometres per hour, said Geoff Coulson an Environment Canada meteorologist.Five other people suffered minor injuries when their cabin was also lifted off the ground by the twister.Coulson said two cabins which were airborne suffered the brunt of the damage while the rest of the resort was pelted with flying debris.This was a very very significant event,said Coulson. Bruce Hollis, 54, said the twister hit his father's cabin head on.Hollis said his father was two weeks away from his 79th birthday when he set out for the fishing trip.

Stan Hollis and Jackson were both retired teachers, Kinkaid is a semi-retired businessman. All three had been friends for a number of years.This is a small community and this town is going to be pretty well shut down for the next few days, said Bruce Hollis from his Ponca City home.Tourists and resort operators spent Friday clearing up the debris that had scattered through northwestern locale popular for hunting and fishing.Staff at Fisherman's Cove Resort said they were open for business as usual on Saturday. They refused to comment on the search efforts.Ear Falls is about two hours north of Dryden, Ont.

Moderate earthquake strikes offshore Taiwan JULY 13,09

TAIPEI, Taiwan – Taiwanese authorities say a 6.3-magnitude earthquake has struck off the east coast of the island, rattling buildings in Taipei, but causing no casualties or damage.The Central Weather Bureau says the quake struck at 2:05 a.m. Tuesday (1805 GMT Monday). It was centered about 36 miles (57 kilometers) off the eastern city of Hualien, some 85 miles (135 kilometers) southeast of the capital.Earthquakes frequently rattle Taiwan, but most are minor and cause little or no damage.However, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake in central Taiwan in 1999 killed more than 2,300 people. And in 2006 a 6.7-magnitude tremor south of Kaohsiung severed undersea cables and disrupted telephone and Internet service to millions throughout Asia.

Shuttle Endeavour mission delayed again by weather By Irene Klotz - JULY 13,09

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) – Lightning strikes and thunderstorms near the seaside launch pad forced NASA on Monday to delay yet again the launch of shuttle Endeavour on a mission to the International Space Station.The weather has just bitten us again,launch director Pete Nickolenko radioed to the Endeavour crew, as the spaceship's liftoff was postponed for the fifth time in about a month.Endeavour had been scheduled to blast off at 6:51 p.m. EDT on a mission to install a Japanese-built outdoor research platform at the space station. The launch was rescheduled for 6:03 p.m. EDT on Wednesday.Two launch attempts last month were scuttled by hydrogen fuel leaks. A third attempt ended on Saturday when NASA ordered checks of the shuttle's electrical systems following a spate of lightning strikes and Sunday's launch was canceled due to poor weather.NASA is trying to complete construction of the $100 billion orbital outpost, a project of 16 nations, by September 30, 2010, so it can retire the shuttle fleet and ramp up development of replacement ships that can journey to the moon and other destinations farther from Earth.Endeavour's cargo includes the Japanese-built platform that is to be mounted to the front of the $2.4-billion Kibo lab where it will serve as an outdoor perch for science experiments that need to be exposed to the open environment of space.Experiments on the platform can be installed and retrieved remotely with a robotic arm, eliminating the need for time-consuming and potentially risky spacewalks by station crewmembers. The first two sections of Kibo were attached to the station in 2008.The platform is to be installed during the first of five spacewalks planned during Endeavour's 12-day stay at the station. Astronauts also are expected to replace batteries that are part of the station's solar power system and store spare parts needed to keep the outpost operational after the shuttle fleet is retired.(Editing by Tom Brown and Philip Barbara)

Internet regulator mulls cybersquatting block
By ANICK JESDANUN, AP Technology Writer - Mon Jul 13, 2009 4:55PM EDT
San Francisco Chronicle

NEW YORK - The Internet's key oversight agency is considering a centralized database of trademark holders, to cut down on questionable registrations of new Internet addresses.Officials say the mechanism won't preclude a new Web site from being created at, say, http://www.apple.farm by someone outside Apple Inc. But it would create hurdles. Backers of the idea say it is needed so trademark holders won't have to spend thousands of dollars registering domain names defensively, to block someone from registering them and trying to profit — a practice known as cybersquatting.The proposed trademark database comes as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, known as ICANN, is trying to widely expand the number of Internet domains, which include .com, for the first time since the 1980s.

New names could start appearing next year.

Trademark holders have already had first dibs when new domain suffixes are created, but many companies fear that if ICANN suddenly adds 500 suffixes to the system, they'd have to register their brands in each domain. Administrative costs could balloon if those suffixes all have different rules for trademark claims.So a central database, dubbed an IP Clearinghouse, would unify those rules. And someone's attempt to register a trademark under a new suffix would be automatically blocked, until the applicant could prove that its use is legitimate.ICANN has long grappled with trademark complaints, and many of its critics say the existing system favors trademark holders over individuals and groups with legitimate needs for a name — for example, to set up a Web site critical of a company.The recommendations for an IP Clearinghouse come from a committee largely made up of corporations and intellectual-property lawyers. ICANN might not decide on the idea until December.

Liberal Website Claims Source Of Holdren Controversy Is Radical Right Wing When in fact the source is Holdren’s own book Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com
Monday, July 13, 2009

Liberal website News Hounds attempts to giggle and guffaw at the controversy of Obama’s top science advisor John P. Holdren’s plans to mass sterilize the population and carry out forced abortions by claiming that the entire story is an invention of the radical right wing,when in fact it comes straight from Holdren’s own 1977 book Ecoscience.The left-wing website claims that the story is a product of the black helicopter crowd….doing their usual frothing at the mouth, despite the fact that giant screenshots of the pages where Holdren makes the statements are available for anyone to view online.News Hounds snickers at the fact that Fox News ran with the story, adding, What’s really worth a chuckle is the source of Fox Nation’s fear and loathing and that is the publication of red diaper baby and former left wing radical turned right wing shouter at clouds – David Horowitz.Here’s a newsflash for the partisan hacks running News Hounds – the source of the story is not Fox News, it’s not Front Page Magazine, it’s not David Horowitz and it’s not Prison Planet – the source is Holdren’s own book that he co-authored in 1977 and proudly stands by today.

If you visit our original article, you will find screenshots of the book in question. Not Fox News, Not Horowitz, not the radical right wing, – Holdren’s own book, you know, the one he wrote. That is the source of the story. Get it? Of course, News Hounds are fully aware that the source is Holdren’s own book, but they are trying to turn the issue into a left-right circus sideshow in order to distract from the real issue – that Holdren openly advocated a totalitarian system of government control run by a planetary regime and enforced by a global police force that would carry out forced abortions, mass sterilization of the public through the food and water supply, as well as mandatory implantation of birth control devices at puberty. Again, that’s not coming from Fox News or Front Page Magazine, those are the proposals in Holdren’s own book, you know, the one he wrote.News Hounds claim that the whole issue is A view into the bizarro world of the Obama haters (and that’s straight up what it’s all about),linking to Prison Planet.com. We’d therefore like to point out the fact that Alex Jones’ film Endgame, which is largely about this very issue of eugenics, was produced and released more than a year before Obama even came to office – before he was even selected as the Democratic nominee. This has nothing to do with hating Obama – that’s nothing more than a partisan copout and News Hounds knows it.The page from Holdren’s own book, not Fox News, not Front Page Magazine, not Prison Planet, Holdren’s own book, that proposes compulsory or forced abortion.

The kind of liberals who read News Hounds are likely to be pro-choice,they believe it’s a woman’s right to do with her body what she wants without government interference. Deliciously ironic therefore it is that one of Holdren’s proposals – which is contained in his own book and not on a radical right wing website – to carry out forced abortions – would remove that choice altogether.News Hounds claims the contention that Holdren advocates forced abortion is a smear,despite the fact that in his own book, that’s his own book, you know, the one he wrote, not something written by Fox News or Front Page Magazine, he writes that, Compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution.We’ve come to accept the fact that people who call themselves liberal will still vehemently support the same racist, elitist and inhumane eugenics policies that were once embraced by Adolf Hitler in the context of overpopulation, but to see them claim that the Holdren story was an invention of insane, frothing, black helicopter fearing radical right wing extremists, when the quotes come directly from Holdren’s own book, is reaching a level of denial beyond fantasy.

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

MUNICH, Germany (AFP) – Twelve European companies launched a 400-billion-euro (560-billion-dollar) initiative Monday to plant huge solar farms in Africa and the Middle East to produce energy for Europe.The consortium says the massive proposal could provide up to 15 percent of Europe's electricity needs by 2050.Engineering giants ABB and Siemens, energy groups E.ON and RWE and financial institutions Deutsche Bank and Munich Re are among the companies which signed a protocol in Munich.Today we have taken a step forward" towards the project's realisation, said Nikolaus von Bomhard, head of the reinsurance giant Munich Re, which hosted the signing.The Desertec Industrial Initiative (DII) would build solar-power generators from Morocco to Saudi Arabia and pump electricity to Europe via undesea cables.It would also provide a substantial portion of the power needs of the producer countries,the Desertec foundation said in a statement, and transform sea water into drinking and irrigation water for local populations.Munich Re board member Torsten Jeworrek said the European companies involved had pledged to work as equals in a sincere and fair manner with producer countries.For Jordan's Prince Hassan ibn Talal: The partnerships that will be formed across the regions as a result of the Desertec project will open a new chapter in relations between the people of the European Union, West Asia and North Africa.Many details still have to be worked out however, including where to install the plants, when the power would come on and how much it would cost, potential profits, political stability in some areas and of course, financing.

Renewable energy analyst Sebastaian Zank at West LB bank, which is not involved in the project, said it might succeed but only in the very, very long term.As long as there are no transmission networks between these two continents this is more or less a nice future fantasy,Zank told AFP.Under the protocol, a Desertec study office to be established by October will have three years to elaborate plans to create the network of solar farms and transmission networks and find the funds.Representatives of the Arab League and the Egyptian energy ministry also attended the protocol's signing.

Other companies invoved are the Spanish firm ABENGOA Solar and the Algerian conglomerate Cevital along with several German banks and engineering companies.The Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper said in June that electricity could begin flowing to Europe within 10 years.West LB analyst Zank said some plants were already being developed in North Africa and one can say that solar thermal energy will already be produced next year, but not with the intention of exporting this electricity to Europe.Undersea networks could be built quickly, he added, but at the moment the costs are so high it is not economically viable.German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso have hailed the initiative however, though others have voiced criticism.German Social Democratic deputy Hermann Scheer told AFP it was not necessary to go to North Africa to collect the sun's rays, and added: We could invest the 400 billion euros here in the recession-hit eurozone. He also preferred a network of decentralised operators that produced renewable energy from many sources rather than having one key project in the hands of major corporations.Others doubt producer countries would fully benefit from a plan designed with Europe in mind, leading the business daily Handelsblatt to warn of potential eco-colonialism.

World Court sets rules for San Juan River traffic By ARTHUR MAX, Associated Press Writer – Mon Jul 13, 2:39 pm ET

THE HAGUE, Netherlands – The United Nations' highest court set travel rules Monday for the Nicaraguan river that borders Costa Rica, affirming freedom for Costa Rican boats while upholding Nicaragua's right to regulate traffic.The decision by the International Court of Justice was applauded by both countries, which must now consult on how to carry out the lengthy ruling that left room for both sides to claim victory.The judgment ended a four-year legal battle and defined navigational rights on the San Juan River, which have been the subject of disputes for nearly two centuries.Under an 1858 treaty between the two Central American countries, the entire river belongs to Nicaragua up to the Costa Rican bank, but Costa Rican ships have freedom of navigation for commerce.In 2005, Costa Rica complained to the U.N. court, also known as the World Court, that Nicaragua was infringing on its navigation rights by imposing unfair restrictions, including a requirement that passengers and tourists obtain Nicaraguan visas, pay travel fees, and that all boats stop at Nicaraguan police posts for inspection and identification.The court affirmed Nicaragua's rights to set timetables for when Costa Rican ships can use the river, to demand the identification of passengers — though not visas — and to insist that all vessels fly the Nicaraguan flag.The 14 judges said, however, that Nicaragua was wrong to charge fees from Costa Ricans and tourists, calling that an impediment to Costa Rica's treaty rights to use the river for profitable commerce.Nicaraguan Deputy Foreign Minister Valdrack Jaentschke called the decision a victory because it recognizes Nicaragua's sovereignty and bans Costa Rica from patrolling the river with armed police.It's been made extremely clear: The waters are Nicaragua's, and that's one of the arguments that Nicaragua wanted to confirm,he said.

Nicaraguan sovereignty was never at question, but Costa Rica challenged a series of restrictions imposed by Managua in recent years to assert its authority.Costa Rica's Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Edgar Ugalde, who led his country's legal team, said in The Hague he was satisfied with the judgment, which he said would improve relations between the two neighbors.We didn't have any rights when we came into the court,he told The Associated Press. The judges had given Costa Rica around 70 percent of what we asked for.In San Jose, Costa Rican Foreign Minister Bruno Stagno said he, too, was pleased. I would say the most important thing about this ruling is that Costa Rica recovers its navigational rights and where the main beneficiaries will be the population in the zone,he said.The judges, drawn from all areas of the world, showed unusual unanimity in issuing 21 different rulings. Their widest split — 9 votes to 5 — was on whether Nicaragua had the right to demand visas.The court ordered Nicaragua to lift restrictions on Costa Ricans living on the southern bank to fish and travel on the river for their daily needs.Costa Ricans had been fishing for their livelihood undisturbed and unquestioned for a long period, and had earned the customary right to continue, the judgment said. But it forbade commercial fishing from boats in the river.It said the government can use the waterway to provide essential services, but not for police vessels.The river bank is thick with jungle and part of it is set aside as a wildlife reserve, making overland travel in the region long and arduous. Costa Rica had argued that people in the area needed boats to send their children to school and to reach medical services. The International Court of Justice was created in 1949 to settle disputes among U.N. member states. Its judgments are binding and not subject to appeal, although the court has no enforcement arm. Use of the river has been a source of conflict since Central America became independent of Spain in the 1820s. An arbitration settlement by U.S. President Grover Cleveland in 1888 resolved most outstanding problems until the Nicaraguan civil war erupted in the 1980s, when traffic was largely halted.Costa Rica complained that Nicaragua began tightening its regulation of the river in the 1990s, which amounted to a violation of its treaty obligations.The court agreed that Nicaragua failed to live up to the treaty when it required passengers to obtain visas and pay fees, and when it sold tourist cards to foreigners on Costa Rican boats.But the judges rejected Costa Rica's request for an unspecified amount of financial compensation.

Budget deficit tops $1 trillion for first time By MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer – Mon Jul 13, 6:05 pm ET

WASHINGTON — The federal deficit has topped $1 trillion for the first time ever and could grow to nearly $2 trillion by this fall, intensifying fears about higher interest rates, inflation and the strength of the dollar.The deficit has been widened by the huge sum the government has spent to ease the recession, combined with a sharp decline in tax revenues. The cost of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan also is a major factor.The soaring deficit is making Chinese and other foreign buyers of U.S. debt nervous, which could make them reluctant lenders down the road. It could also force the Treasury Department to pay higher interest rates to make U.S. debt attractive longer-term.These are mind-boggling numbers, said Sung Won Sohn, an economist at the Smith School of Business at California State University.Our foreign investors from China and elsewhere are starting to have concerns about not only the value of the dollar but how safe their investments will be in the long run.The Treasury Department said Monday that the deficit in June totaled $94.3 billion, pushing the total since the budget year started in October to $1.09 trillion. The administration forecasts that the deficit for the entire year will hit $1.84 trillion in October.Government spending is on the rise to address the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression and an unemployment rate that has climbed to 9.5 percent.Congress already approved a $700 billion financial bailout for banks, automakers and other sectors, and a $787 billion economic stimulus package to try to jump-start a recovery. Outlays through the first nine months of this budget year total $2.67 trillion, up 20.5 percent from the same period a year ago.There is growing talk among some Obama administration officials that a second round of stimulus may eventually be necessary.

That has many Republicans and deficit hawks worried that the U.S. could be setting itself up for more financial pain down the road if interest rates and inflation surge. They also are raising alarms about additional spending the administration is proposing, including its plan to reform health care.President Barack Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner have said the U.S. is committed to bringing down the deficits once the economy and financial sector recover. The Obama administration has set a goal of cutting the deficit in half by the end of his first term in office.

In the meantime, the U.S. debt now stands at $11.5 trillion. Interest payments on the debt cost $452 billion last year — the largest federal spending category after Medicare-Medicaid, Social Security and defense.The overall debt is now slightly more than 80 percent of the annual output of the entire U.S. economy, as measured by the gross domestic product. During World War II, it briefly rose to 120 percent of GDP.

The debt is largely financed by the sale of Treasury bonds and bills.

Many private economists say the administration had no choice but to take aggressive action during the financial crisis.We have a deep recession hammering tax revenues and forcing the government to provide a lot of help to the economy,said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Economy.com.But without this help, the downturn would be even more severe.History shows the dangers of assuming too soon that economic downturns have ended.President Franklin D. Roosevelt made that mistake in 1936. Believing the Depression largely over, he sought to reduce public spending and to balance the federal budget, but that undermined a fragile recovery, pushing the economy back under water in 1937.Japanese leaders made a similar mistake in the 1990s when they temporarily withdrew government stimulus spending, prolonging Japan's recession into one that lasted a full decade.Republicans in Congress are seizing on the deficit — and the persistence of the recession — to attack Democrats. Washington Democrats keep borrowing and spending money we don't have,said House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio.

So far, interest rates have remained low.

This is partly because the Federal Reserve has kept a key short-term rate at a record near zero. Also, all the economic troubles in housing and the rest of the economy have depressed demand for credit by the private sector, meaning the government's borrowing costs are relatively low.The benchmark 10-year Treasury security has risen by about a percentage point in recent weeks, but analysts note it is still trading at historically low levels of around 3.35 percent. Geithner travels later this week to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, where he is expected to face questions about the U.S. deficit. As he did during a visit to China last month, Geithner will try to reassure investors in the Middle East that their U.S. holdings are safe from a calamitous bout of inflation.The deficit of $1.09 trillion so far this year compares to an imbalance of $285.85 billion through the same period a year ago. The deficit for the 2008 budget year, which ended Sept. 30, was $454.8 billion, the current record in dollar terms.Revenues so far this year total $1.59 trillion, down 17.9 percent from a year ago, reflecting higher unemployment, which cuts into payroll taxes and corporate tax receipts.Under the administration's budget estimates, the $1.84 trillion deficit for this year will be followed by a $1.26 trillion deficit in 2010, and will never dip below $500 billion over the next decade. The administration estimates the deficits will total $7.1 trillion from 2010 to 2019.

FROM JEROME CORSI'S RED ALERT Wind farms: Simply full of hot air? Prominent oilman gives up turbine power boondoggle July 13, 2009 7:54 am Eastern 2009 WorldNetDaily

Oilman T. Boone Pickens

Oilman T. Boone Pickens has abandoned plans to build his billion-dollar wind farm in Texas, finally deciding to throw in the towel on one of the nation's most expensive alternative energy boondoggles, Jerome Corsi's Red Alert reports. In May 2008, Pickens announced his oil company, Mesa Power LP, would order 687 wind turbines, or 1,000 megawatts of capacity, from GE at a cost of about $2 billion. By 2014, Pickens planned to expand the wind farm in west Texas to a gigantic 4,000 megawatts, about four times the output of a typical nuclear power plant.Now, Pickens has decided the idea was a bust,Corsi wrote,resolving that at best all that might work are small wind farms in limited geographical locations, though Pickens has yet to say where exactly he now considers that wind turbine power might be an economically successful venture.

At the height of his enthusiasm for wind turbine power, Pickens created a website to promote his Pickens Plan solution for a U.S. energy policy that would wean U.S. dependence from foreign oil.Pickens spent some $58 million to broadcast a series of television commercials promoting his agenda, and he appeared all over cable television news to promote his idea that wind power was a renewable energy that could save America from dependence on foreign oil. The problem was Pickens could never convince a major city such as Dallas to agree to create the necessary connections to transmit the electricity generated by the Pampa wind turbine farm to Dallas,Corsi noted.A key Pickens television commercial began by stating that the U.S. imported 24 percent of all oil consumed in the country, growing to 42 percent in 1970 and almost 70 percent today and climbing every minute.Pickens also asserted that over $700 billion leaves this country to foreign nations every year,an amount the commercial argues is four times the cost of the Iraqi war.Pickens, typically a strong financial supporter of Republican Party candidates, made a point of sitting out the 2008 presidential campaign. He then formed strong ties with the incoming Obama administration to advance his energy agenda.The Pickens Plan,in its heyday, involved using more wind and solar power to provide electricity to cities. He then wanted to convert 18-wheeler commercial trucks to be driven on natural gas, with a goal of converting 300,000 of the nation's fleet of 6.5 million long-haul trucks.Pickens was one of the first prominent oilmen to claim electric batteries will be the ultimate solution for automobiles.He openly acknowledged the difficulty that billions of dollars would have to be spent to modernize electric grids throughout the country, to modify long-haul trucks as well as to provide a natural gas infrastructure of service stations around the country and to create a new generation of battery-powered cars.

The pillars of the Pickens Plan listed on his website included:

Create millions of new jobs by building out the capacity to generate up to 22 percent of our electricity from wind. And adding to that with additional solar capacity;
Building a 21st century backbone electrical grid; Providing incentives for homeowners and the owners of commercial buildings to upgrade their insulation and other energy savings options; and Using America's natural gas to replace imported oil as a transportation fuel.The Pickens Plan was strangely reminiscent of many initiatives that have been discussed since the administration of Jimmy Carter in the 1970s, Corsi wrote.Anyone who has driven through California has seen hundreds of abandoned wind turbines that have been built since the 1970s as a result of various tax-incentive subsidies that have attempted to promote the alternative energy or renewable energy agendas of past decades.Still, Pickens pleads, I've been an oilman all my life. But this is one emergency we can't drill our way out of.Since Pickens failed to convince the federal government, or Texas, to spend the hundreds of millions of dollars needed to connect the Pickens-built wind farm to the electrical grid in Dallas, Pickens is left with a lot of wind turbines blowing in the wind in the dusty Texas panhandle, Corsi wrote.Pickens is now facing approximately a $2 billion loss on his boondoggle wind turbine adventure, he noted.Considering the amount of money Pickens had at stake in this venture, Corsi said it is no wonder he pumped millions into running a television campaign promoting a vision of alternative energy that features wind turbines.The Dallas Morning News reported that GE will deliver the first round of wind turbines in the first quarter of 2011.I don't have that big a garage to put them in,Pickens told the newspaper,so I've got to start getting ready to use them.He said he was looking at sites in Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas to build three or four wind farms with around 150 turbines in each.Pickens also hopes the prices of natural gas and oil will spike once again, as they did in the summer of 2008.You had them standing in line to finance you when natural gas was around $9 per million British thermal units,he told the Dallas Morning News. Natural gas at $4 doesn't have any people trying to finance you.Red Alert has previously reported that ethanol is another renewable fuel where chief manufacturers are going broke.

In his 25-year financial services career, Corsi has been a noted financial services speaker and writer, publishing three books and numerous articles in professional financial services journals and magazines.

Obama Science Czar’s Plan To Sterilize Population Through Water Supply Already Happening ,Antiandrogens discovered in lakes and rivers are feminizing men as global sperm counts plummet Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Monday, July 13, 2009

Shocking proposals to mass sterilize the population by artificially medicating municipal water supplies, which were outlined by President Obama’s top science czar in his 1977 book Ecoscience, are already in effect as global sperm counts drop and gender-bending chemicals pollute our rivers and lakes.As we highlighted on Saturday, alongside John P. Holdren’s advocacy for a global planetary regime to enforce forced abortion, government seizure of children born out of wedlock, and mandatory bodily implants designed to prevent pregnancy, Obama’s top advisor also called for,Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods.Holdren added that the sterilant must meet stiff requirements in that it must only affect humans and not livestock.It must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock,wrote Holdren with co-authors Paul Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich.Holdren notes that the proposal to forcibly mass sterilize the public against their will seems to horrify people and yet it doesn’t seem to bother him too much, amidst the myriad of other totalitarian Dr. Strangelove style ideas that are put forward in the book as a way to carry out an aggressive agenda of population reduction.Global sperm counts have dropped by a third since 1989 and by half in the past 50 years. The rate of decline is only accelerating as more and more couples find it harder to have children. In studies of white European men, the rate of decline is as much as 50 per cent in the last 30 years. In Italy, this equates to a native population reduction of 22 per cent by 2050. Population reduction is already occurring amongst native residents in many areas of Europe and America.

Everything from cellphone signals, to eating soy products, to female hormones entering the water supply from HRT products has been blamed. There’s no doubt that environmental pollution from industry and pharmaceutical products has contributed, but new research has uncovered that additional chemicals known as Antiandrogens are now finding their way into the water supply.The University of Exeter is now working with chemists at the University of Sussex to establish exactly what the chemicals in question are, and hence to understand how they are being released into waste water, states the study.Antiandrogens are capable of preventing or inhibiting the biologic effects of androgens, male sex hormones, on normally responsive tissues in the body. Antiandrogens are given to transsexual men who want to become women and they are also given to sex offenders released from prison to reduce their sexual libido. These substances have the effect of counteracting masculinisation and effectively diminishing normal male biological characteristics associated with the release of testosterone.Antiandrogens used in pesticides sprayed on our food have also been identified as endocrine disruptors that have been demonstrated to induce demasculinization in rats.These newly discovered poisons, combined with contraceptive pills and HRT have literally had the effect of gender-bending no less than a third of male fish in all British rivers, which causes them to produce eggs and make them infertile. Dozens of species besides fish, such as polar bears, bald eagles, otters and whales have also been affected and the problem is global.In waterways that are located close to sewage treatment facilities, a staggering 80 per cent of male fish were found to have female characteristics as a result of such chemicals.It is also feared that bird populations could be devastated in the long run from chemicals being passed from infected fish when birds eat the fish. Veteran fishermen are already noticing a severe decline in fish populations across the country.This is what comes out of our taps, not to even mention the scores of other dangerous compounds and chemicals that are in our water supply, we are drinking a poison that makes animals and fish infertile. Human sperm counts are also dropping on a consistent basis and the connection is clear – chemicals that make us infertile are already in the water supply, just as Holdren and other top eugenicists called for more than 30 years ago.

There is certainly the potential for it to have an effect in humans – and possibly a marked effect,said Professor Charles Tyler of Exeter University, one of the country’s leading authorities on the effects of oestrogen.It is therefore tragically ironic that the filters needed to combat this very real and very dangerous threat to our environment and to both animals and humans are being prevented from being installed at sewage treatment facilities because of the carbon footprint they would create and fears that they would add to global warming (which is coincidentally the latest veil behind which Holdren camouflages his totalitarian eugenicist agenda). This is another example of how the manufactured farce that is man-made climate change is actually harming the environment by blocking real environmental solutions.Since industrial-sized filters are needed at the source to remove these poisons, it is certainly not safe to assume that standard water filters would be able to remove them at home.The population of the world is under sustained biological assault and the vast majority of people have no idea that it is happening. This goes above and beyond any debate about whether there are too many people on the planet. This shatters any acceptable notion of human rights as outlined in the Nuremberg code, which clearly states that, The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential,in any form of human experimentation, and yet the population is being mass medicated and mass sterilized not only against its will but completely in the dark.We are being biologically attacked by hardcore totalitarian eugenicists hell-bent on forcibly reducing the global population who have publicly announced their plans for an 80 per cent plus population reduction program. The legacy of these megalomaniacs is born out of class racism, fascist thinking and a bloodlust to dominate and enslave the planet –they couldn’t give a shit about the environment, this is all about eliminating the useless eaters,as they see us.They have openly outlined their plans to commit mass genocide and we are now seeing the first wave of that attack via the poisons in our water that are making us infertile.

Obama Science Advisor Called For Planetary Regime To Enforce Totalitarian Population Control Measures.In 1977 book, John Holdren advocated forced abortions, mass sterilization through food and water supply and mandatory bodily implants to prevent pregnancies Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Saturday, July 11, 2009

President Obama’s top science and technology advisor John P. Holdren co-authored a 1977 book in which he advocated the formation of a planetary regime that would use a global police force to enforce totalitarian measures of population control, including forced abortions, mass sterilization programs conducted via the food and water supply, as well as mandatory bodily implants that would prevent couples from having children.The concepts outlined in Holdren’s 1977 book Ecoscience, which he co-authored with close colleagues Paul Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich, were so shocking that a February 2009 Front Page Magazine story on the subject was largely dismissed as being outlandish because people couldn’t bring themselves to believe that it could be true.

It was only when another Internet blog obtained the book and posted screenshots that the awful truth about what Holdren had actually committed to paper actually began to sink in.This issue is more prescient than ever because Holdren and his colleagues are now at the forefront of efforts to combat climate change through similarly insane programs focused around geoengineering the planet. As we reported in April, Holdren recently advocated Large-scale geoengineering projects designed to cool the Earth, such as shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays,which many have pointed out is already occurring via chemtrails.Ecoscience discusses a number of ways in which the global population could be reduced to combat what the authors see as mankind’s greatest threat – overpopulation. In each case, the proposals are couched in sober academic rhetoric, but the horrifying foundation of what Holdren and his co-authors are advocating is clear. These proposals include;- Forcibly and unknowingly sterilizing the entire population by adding infertility drugs to the nation’s water and food supply.- Legalizing compulsory abortions, ie forced abortions carried out against the will of the pregnant women, as is common place in Communist China where women who have already had one child and refuse to abort the second are kidnapped off the street by the authorities before a procedure is carried out to forcibly abort the baby.- Babies who are born out of wedlock or to teenage mothers to be forcibly taken away from their mother by the government and put up for adoption. Another proposed measure would force single mothers to demonstrate to the government that they can care for the child, effectively introducing licensing to have children.- Implementing a system of involuntary birth control, where both men and women would be mandated to have an infertility device implanted into their body at puberty and only have it removed temporarily if they received permission from the government to have a baby.- Permanently sterilizing people who the authorities deem have already had too many children or who have contributed to general social deterioration.- Formally passing a law that criminalizes having more than two children, similar to the one child policy in Communist China.- This would all be overseen by a transnational and centralized planetary regime that would utilize a global police force to enforce the measures outlined above. The planetary regime would also have the power to determine population levels for every country in the world.The quotes from the book are included below. We also include comments by the author of the blog who provided the screenshots of the relevant passages. Screenshots of the relevant pages and the quotes in their full context are provided at the end of the excerpts. The quotes from the book appear as text indents and in bold. The quotes from the author of the blog are italicized.

Page 837: Compulsory abortions would be legal

Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.As noted in the FrontPage article cited above, Holdren hides behind the passive voice in this passage, by saying it has been concluded. Really? By whom? By the authors of the book, that’s whom. What Holdren’s really saying here is,I have determined that there’s nothing unconstitutional about laws which would force women to abort their babies.And as we will see later, although Holdren bemoans the fact that most people think there’s no need for such laws, he and his co-authors believe that the population crisis is so severe that the time has indeed come for compulsory population-control laws.In fact, they spend the entire book arguing that the population crisis has already become sufficiently severe to endanger the society.

Page 786: Single mothers should have their babies taken away by the government; or they could be forced to have abortions.One way to carry out this disapproval might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption—especially those born to minors, who generally are not capable of caring properly for a child alone. If a single mother really wished to keep her baby, she might be obliged to go through adoption proceedings and demonstrate her ability to support and care for it. Adoption proceedings probably should remain more difficult for single people than for married couples, in recognition of the relative difficulty of raising children alone. It would even be possible to require pregnant single women to marry or have abortions, perhaps as an alternative to placement for adoption, depending on the society.Holdren and his co-authors once again speculate about unbelievably draconian solutions to what they feel is an overpopulation crisis. But what’s especially disturbing is not that Holdren has merely made these proposals — wrenching babies from their mothers’ arms and giving them away; compelling single mothers to prove in court that they would be good parents; and forcing women to have abortions, whether they wanted to or not — but that he does so in such a dispassionate, bureaucratic way. Don’t be fooled by the innocuous and level-headed tone he takes: the proposals are nightmarish, however euphemistically they are expressed. Holdren seems to have no grasp of the emotional bond between mother and child, and the soul-crushing trauma many women have felt throughout history when their babies were taken away from them involuntarily.

This kind of clinical, almost robotic discussion of laws that would affect millions of people at the most personal possible level is deeply unsettling, and the kind of attitude that gives scientists a bad name. I’m reminded of the phrase banality of evil.Not that it matters, but I myself am pro-choice — i.e. I think that abortion should not be illegal. But that doesn’t mean I’m pro-abortion — I don’t particularly like abortions, but I do believe women should be allowed the choice to have them. But John Holdren here proposes to take away that choice — to force women to have abortions. One doesn’t need to be a pro-life activist to see the horror of this proposal — people on all sides of the political spectrum should be outraged. My objection to forced abortion is not so much to protect the embryo, but rather to protect the mother from undergoing a medical procedure against her will. And not just any medical procedure, but one which she herself (regardless of my views) may find particularly immoral or traumatic.There’s a bumper sticker that’s popular in liberal areas which says: Against abortion? Then don’t have one.Well, John Holdren wants to MAKE you have one, whether you’re against it or not.

Page 787-8: Mass sterilization of humans though drugs in the water supply is OK as long as it doesn’t harm livestock.Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.OK, John, now you’re really starting to scare me. Putting sterilants in the water supply? While you correctly surmise that this suggestion seems to horrify people more than most proposals,you apparently are not among those people it horrifies. Because in your extensive list of problems with this possible scheme, there is no mention whatsoever of any ethical concerns or moral issues. In your view, the only impediment to involuntary mass sterilization of the population is that it ought to affect everyone equally and not have any unintended side effects or hurt animals. But hey, if we could sterilize all the humans safely without hurting the livestock, that’d be peachy! The fact that Holdren has no moral qualms about such a deeply invasive and unethical scheme (aside from the fact that it would be difficult to implement) is extremely unsettling and in a sane world all by itself would disqualify him from holding a position of power in the government.

Page 786-7: The government could control women’s reproduction by either sterilizing them or implanting mandatory long-term birth control

Involuntary fertility control

A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men.The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births.Note well the phrase with official permission in the above quote. John Holdren envisions a society in which the government implants a long-term sterilization capsule in all girls as soon as they reach puberty, who then must apply for official permission to temporarily remove the capsule and be allowed to get pregnant at some later date. Alternately, he wants a society that sterilizes all women once they have two children. Do you want to live in such a society? Because I sure as hell don’t.

Page 838: The kind of people who cause social deterioration can be compelled to not have children.If some individuals contribute to general social deterioration by overproducing children, and if the need is compelling, they can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility—just as they can be required to exercise responsibility in their resource-consumption patterns—providing they are not denied equal protection.To me, this is in some ways the most horrifying sentence in the entire book — and it had a lot of competition. Because here Holdren reveals that moral judgments would be involved in determining who gets sterilized or is forced to abort their babies. Proper, decent people will be left alone — but those who contribute to social deterioration could be forced to exercise reproductive responsibility which could only mean one thing — compulsory abortion or involuntary sterilization. What other alternative would there be to force people to not have children? Will government monitors be stationed in irresponsible people’s bedrooms to ensure they use condoms? Will we bring back the chastity belt? No — the only way to force people to not become or remain pregnant is to sterilize them or make them have abortions.But what manner of insanity is this? Social deterioration? Is Holdren seriously suggesting that some people contribute to social deterioration more than others, and thus should be sterilized or forced to have abortions, to prevent them from propagating their kind? Isn’t that eugenics, plain and simple? And isn’t eugenics universally condemned as a grotesquely evil practice? We’ve already been down this road before. In one of the most shameful episodes in the history of U.S. jurisprudence, the Supreme Court ruled in the infamous 1927 Buck v. Bell case that the State of Virginia had had the right to sterilize a woman named Carrie Buck against her will, based solely on the (spurious) criteria that she was feeble-minded and promiscuous, with Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes concluding,Three generations of imbeciles are enough.Nowadays, of course, we look back on that ruling in horror, as eugenics as a concept has been forever discredited. In fact, the United Nations now regards forced sterilization as a crime against humanity. The italicized phrase at the end (providing they are not denied equal protection), which Holdren seems to think gets him off the eugenics hook, refers to the 14th Amendment (as you will see in the more complete version of this passage quoted below), meaning that the eugenics program wouldn’t be racially based or discriminatory — merely based on the whim and assessments of government bureaucrats deciding who and who is not an undesirable. If some civil servant in Holdren’s America determines that you are contributing to social deterioration by being promiscuous or pregnant or both, will government agents break down your door and and haul you off kicking and screaming to the abortion clinic? In fact, the Supreme Court case Skinner v. Oklahoma already determined that the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment distinctly prohibits state-sanctioned sterilization being applied unequally to only certain types of people. No no, you say, Holdren isn’t claiming that some kind of people contribute to social deterioration more than others; rather, he’s stating that anyone who overproduces children thereby contributes to social deterioration and needs to be stopped from having more. If so — how is that more palatable? It seems Holdren and his co-authors have not really thought this through, because what they are suggesting is a nightmarish totalitarian society. What does he envision: All women who commit the crime of having more than two children be dragged away by police to the government-run sterilization centers? Or — most disturbingly of all — perhaps Holdren has thought it through, and is perfectly OK with the kind of dystopian society he envisions in this book.Sure, I could imagine a bunch of drunken guys sitting around shooting the breeze, expressing these kinds of forbidden thoughts; who among us hasn’t looked in exasperation at a harried mother buying candy bars and soda for her immense brood of unruly children and thought: Lady, why don’t you just get your tubes tied already? But it’s a different matter when the Science Czar of the United States suggests the very same thing officially in print. It ceases being a harmless fantasy, and suddenly the possibility looms that it could become government policy. And then it’s not so funny anymore.

Page 838: Nothing is wrong or illegal about the government dictating family size

In today’s world, however, the number of children in a family is a matter of profound public concern. The law regulates other highly personal matters. For example, no one may lawfully have more than one spouse at a time. Why should the law not be able to prevent a person from having more than two children? Why should the law not be able to prevent a person from having more than two children? Why? I’ll tell you why, John. Because the the principle of habeas corpus upon which our nation rests automatically renders any compulsory abortion scheme to be unconstitutional, since it guarantees the freedom of each individual’s body from detention or interference, until that person has been convicted of a crime. Or are you seriously suggesting that, should bureaucrats decide that the country is overpopulated, the mere act of pregnancy be made a crime? I am no legal scholar, but it seems that John Holdren is even less of a legal scholar than I am. Many of the bizarre schemes suggested in Ecoscience rely on seriously flawed legal reasoning. The book is not so much about science, but instead is about reinterpreting the Constitution to allow totalitarian population-control measures.

Page 942-3: A Planetary Regime should control the global economy and dictate by force the number of children allowed to be born

Toward a Planetary Regime

Perhaps those agencies, combined with UNEP and the United Nations population agencies, might eventually be developed into a Planetary Regime—sort of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment. Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable, at least insofar as international implications exist. Thus the Regime could have the power to control pollution not only in the atmosphere and oceans, but also in such freshwater bodies as rivers and lakes that cross international boundaries or that discharge into the oceans. The Regime might also be a logical central agency for regulating all international trade, perhaps including assistance from DCs to LDCs, and including all food on the international market.The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries’ shares within their regional limits. Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits.In case you were wondering exactly who would enforce these forced abortion and mass sterilization laws: Why, it’ll be the Planetary Regime! Of course! I should have seen that one coming.The rest of this passage speaks for itself. Once you add up all the things the Planetary Regime (which has a nice science-fiction ring to it, doesn’t it?) will control, it becomes quite clear that it will have total power over the global economy, since according to Holdren this Planetary Regime will control all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable (which basically means all goods) as well as all food, and commerce on the oceans and any rivers that discharge into the oceans(i.e. 99% of all navigable rivers). What’s left? Not much.

Page 917: We will need to surrender national sovereignty to an armed international police force.If this could be accomplished, security might be provided by an armed international organization, a global analogue of a police force. Many people have recognized this as a goal, but the way to reach it remains obscure in a world where factionalism seems, if anything, to be increasing. The first step necessarily involves partial surrender of sovereignty to an international organization.The other shoe drops. So: We are expected to voluntarily surrender national sovereignty to an international organization (the Planetary Regime,presumably), which will be armed and have the ability to act as a police force. And we saw in the previous quote exactly which rules this armed international police force will be enforcing: compulsory birth control, and all economic activity. It would be laughable if Holdren weren’t so deadly serious. Do you want this man to be in charge of science and technology in the United States? Because he already is in charge.

Page 749: Pro-family and pro-birth attitudes are caused by ethnic chauvinism.Another related issue that seems to encourage a pronatalist attitude in many people is the question of the differential reproduction of social or ethnic groups. Many people seem to be possessed by fear that their group may be outbred by other groups. White Americans and South Africans are worried there will be too many blacks, and vice versa. The Jews in Israel are disturbed by the high birth rates of Israeli Arabs, Protestants are worried about Catholics, and lbos about Hausas. Obviously, if everyone tries to outbreed everyone else, the result will be catastrophe for all. This is another case of the tragedy of the commons,wherein the commons is the planet Earth. Fortunately, it appears that, at least in the DCs, virtually all groups are exercising reproductive restraint.This passage is not particularly noteworthy except for the inclusion of the odd phrase pronatalist attitude,which Holdren spends much of the book trying to undermine. And what exactly is a pronatalist attitude? Basically it means the urge to have children, and to like babies. If only we could suppress people’s natural urge to want children and start families, we could solve all our problems! What’s disturbing to me is the incredibly patronizing and culturally imperialist attitude he displays here, basically acting like he has the right to tell every ethnic group in the world that they should allow themselves to go extinct or at least not increase their populations any more. How would we feel if Andaman Islanders showed up on the steps of the Capitol in Washington D.C. and announced that there were simply too many Americans, and we therefore are commanded to stop breeding immediately? One imagines that the attitude of every ethnic group in the world to John Holdren’s proposal would be: Cram it, John. Stop telling us what to do.

Page 944: As of 1977, we are facing a global overpopulation catastrophe that must be resolved at all costs by the year 2000.Humanity cannot afford to muddle through the rest of the twentieth century; the risks are too great, and the stakes are too high. This may be the last opportunity to choose our own and our descendants’ destiny. Failing to choose or making the wrong choices may lead to catastrophe. But it must never be forgotten that the right choices could lead to a much better world.This is the final paragraph of the book, which I include here only to show how embarrassingly inaccurate his scientific projections were. In 1977, Holdren thought we were teetering on the brink of global catastrophe, and he proposed implementing fascistic rules and laws to stave off the impending disaster. Luckily, we ignored his warnings, yet the world managed to survive anyway without the need to punish ourselves with the oppressive society which Holdren proposed. Yes, there still is overpopulation, but the problems it causes are not as morally repugnant as the solutions which John Holdren wanted us to adopt.

It is important to point out that John Holdren has never publicly distanced himself from any of these positions in the 32 years since the book was first published. Indeed, as you can see from the first picture that accompanies this article, Holdren prominently displays a copy of the book in his own personal library and is happy to be photographed with it.It is also important to stress that these are not just the opinions of one man. As we have exhaustively documented, most recently in our essay, The Population Reduction Agenda For Dummies, the positions adopted in this book echo those advocated by numerous other prominent public figures in politics, academia and the environmental movement for decades.Consider the fact that people like David Rockefeller, Ted Turner, and Bill Gates, three men who have integral ties to the eugenicist movement, recently met with other billionaire philanthropists in New York to discuss how their wealth could be used to slow the growth of the world’s population,according to a London Times report.Ted Turner has publicly advocated shocking population reduction programs that would cull the human population by a staggering 95%. He has also called for a Communist-style one child policy to be mandated by governments in the west.Of course, Turner completely fails to follow his own rules on how everyone else should live their lives, having five children and owning no less than 2 million acres of land.In the third world, Turner has contributed literally billions to population reduction, namely through United Nations programs, leading the way for the likes of Bill & Melinda Gates and Warren Buffet (Gates’ father has long been a leading board member of Planned Parenthood and a top eugenicist).The notion that these elitists merely want to slow population growth in order to improve health is a complete misnomer. Slowing the growth of the world’s population while also improving its health are two irreconcilable concepts to the elite. Stabilizing world population is a natural byproduct of higher living standards, as has been proven by the stabilization of the white population in the west. Elitists like David Rockefeller have no interest in slowing the growth of world population by natural methods, their agenda is firmly rooted in the pseudo-science of eugenics, which is all about culling the surplus population via draconian methods.

David Rockefeller’s legacy is not derived from a well-meaning philanthropic urge to improve health in third world countries, it is born out of a Malthusian drive to eliminate the poor and those deemed racially inferior, using the justification of social Darwinism.As is documented in Alex Jones’ seminal film Endgame, Rockefeller’s father, John D. Rockefeller, exported eugenics to Germany from its origins in Britain by bankrolling the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute which later would form a central pillar in the Third Reich’s ideology of the Nazi super race. After the fall of the Nazis, top German eugenicists were protected by the allies as the victorious parties fought over who would enjoy their expertise in the post-war world.The justification for the implementation of draconian measures of population control has changed to suit contemporary fads and trends. What once masqueraded as concerns surrounding overpopulation has now returned in the guise of the climate change and global warming movement. What has not changed is the fact that at its core, this represents nothing other than the arcane pseudo-science of eugenics first crafted by the U.S. and British elite at the end of the 19th century and later embraced by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.In the 21st century, the eugenics movement has changed its stripes once again, manifesting itself through the global carbon tax agenda and the notion that having too many children or enjoying a reasonably high standard of living is destroying the planet through global warming, creating the pretext for further regulation and control over every facet of our lives.The fact that the chief scientific advisor to the President of the United States, a man with his finger on the pulse of environmental policy, once openly advocated the mass sterilization of the U.S. public through the food and water supply, along with the plethora of other disgusting proposals highlighted in Ecoscience, is a frightening prospect that wouldn’t be out of place in some kind of futuristic sci-fi horror movie, and a startling indictment of the true source of what manifests itself today as the elitist controlled top-down environmental movement.Only through bringing to light Holdren’s shocking and draconian population control plans can we truly alert people to the horrors that the elite have planned for us through population control, sterilization and genocidal culling programs that are already underway.

43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But tidings out of the east(CHINA 2ND WAVE OF WW3) and out of the north(RUSSIA, MUSLIMS WHATS LEFT FROM WAVE 1) shall trouble him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.( 1/3RD OF EARTHS POPULATION)
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

REVELATION 14:18-20
18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city,(JERUSALEM) and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.(200 MILES) (THE SIZE OF ISRAEL)

The Third and Final Wave of WW3 is when all Nations march to Jerusalem, but JESUS bodily returns to earth and destroys them,sets up his KINGDOM OF RULE FOR 1000 YEARS THEN FOREVER.

2ND WAVE CHINA AND KINGS OF THE EAST MARCH TO ISRAEL

REVELATION 16:12
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.(THIS IS THE ATATURK DAM IN TURKEY,THEY CROSS OVER).

DANIEL 11:44 (2ND WAVE OF WW3)
44 But tidings out of the east(CHINA) and out of the north(RUSSIA, MUSLIMS WHATS LEFT FROM WAVE 1) shall trouble him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.( 1/3RD OF EARTHS POPULATION)

REVELATION 9:12-18
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.(IRAQ-SYRIA)
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.(1/3 Earths Population die in WW 3 2ND WAVE)
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand:(200 MILLION MAN ARMY FROM CHINA AND THE KINGS OF THE EAST) and I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.(NUCLEAR BOMBS)
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.(NUCLEAR BOMBS)

WARS AND RUMURS OF WARS.

MATTHEW 24:6
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

MARK 13:7
7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

FOR ISRAELIS AND SKEPTICS OUT THERE THAT SAY THE TRINITY IS A HOAX.IN THE OLD TESTAMENT PROVERBS SAYS.

PROVERBS 30:4
4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?

LET THIS SINK IN FOLKS THE NEW TESTAMENT WAS NOT WRITTEN YET AND THIS VERSE SAYS GOD WOULD HAVE A SON.HERES PROOF JESUS EXISTED BEFORE THE NEW TESTAMENT.AND THE TIPOFF IS IN JOHN 1:1,14 THAT THAT SON JESUS IS GOD AND CREATOR OF ALL THINGS.

JOHN 1:1-2,14,3
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
14 And the Word (JESUS THE SON) was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

THIS VERSE EVEN ANSWERS PROVERBS 30:4 BY SAYING JESUS IS GOD FROM THE BEGGINING AND THAT JESUS WAS AT CREATION ,CREATED IT AND WAS THERE AT CREATION.AND THE 1ST VERSE OF THE BIBLE SAYS.

GENESIS 1:1-2
1 In the beginning God (ELOHIM-MORE THAN 1)(TRINITY-FATHER-SON-HOLY SPIRIT))created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

MATTHEW 1:16,18-25
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

JOHN 1:17-18,34
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
34 And I (JOHN) saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

MATTHEW 3:16-17
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:(THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS AT THE BAPTISM)
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.(GOD THE FATHER AT THE BAPTISM,THE TRINITY WAS AT THE BAPTISM)FATHER-SON AND HOLY SPIRIT-ONE GOD(3 OFFICES)ALL AT THE BAPTISM)

SO PEOPLE THAT DENY JESUS IS GOD ARE JUST DECIEVED BY SATAN BIGTIME.IF THE OLD TESTAMENT BEFORE THE NEW-AND JESUS EVEN CAME TO EARTH SAYS GOD WOULD HAVE A SON,HOW CAN ANY BODY DENY JESUS IS GOD IS MY QUESTION? AND SINCE GOD KNOWS THE BEGGINING FROM THE END.JESUS TOLD US ALL THE PROPHECIES IN THE BIBLE WOULD TAKE PLACE IN THE LAST GENERATION ON EARTH THAT WOULD SEE ISRAEL BECOME A NATION AND RECAPTURE JERUSALEM.AND IT ALSO SAYS THAT JESUS WILL BE RULING AS KING OVER A WORLD CAPITAL JERUSALEM AT THE END OF THE AGE OF GRACE WHEN HE LITERALLY,BODILY RETURNS TO EARTH TO RULE FROM HIS THRONE IN JERUSALEM,FOREVER.SO NO ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD LIKE FALSE TEACHERS SAY,ITS THE END OF THE AGE OF GRACE AND JESUS' RULE IN JERUSALEM FOREVER...I STRESS FOREVER.

THIS IS AN ORTHADOX ISRAELI POINT OF VIEW ON WW3.
WW3 WARS TO OCCUR BY WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS (NOT PEOPLE)

Tammuz 20, 5769, 7/12/2009 The King of Persia Will Destroy the World
by Tamar Yonah http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbeZ1U8Rups&feature=player_embedded
WORLD WAR III

A three hour [nuclear?] war. Two thirds of the world's population destroyed? The West obliterated? Is this what the King of Persia [Iran] will do? A few shows back, I read out one of the more famous predictions of what mankind may face in the future during the Messianic era. It was taken from MEDRISH “YALKUT SHIMONI” (Yeshiya 60). I roughly translated it from the Hebrew on air, but I now received a better and complete translation in my email inbox just yesterday already in English, so I am reposting this article from www.torahnews.org here:

WORLD WAR THREE - MEDRISH YALKUT SHIMONI(Yeshiya 60):Rabbi Yitzhak said: The year that Melech HaMoshiach will be revealed, all the kings of the nations of the world will provoke each other. The king of Persia [in modern times they changed the name of their country to Iran] will threaten the king of Arabia [today called Saudi Arabia] and because of this the king of Arabia will go to the king of Edom [USA] for advice.

Afterwards the king of Persia will destroy [most of] the world. The remaining nations will be hysterical and frantic and fall on their faces and will be seized as if by birth pains.And the people of Israel will be frantic and hysterical and they will say, where will we come and go? Where will be come and go? And Hashem will say to them: Do not fear my children, do not fear. All that I have done I did only for you. Why are you afraid? The time for your Redemption has come!

THE EXPLANATION OF THIS MEDRISH:Rabbi Yitzhak said [about 2000 years ago!]:The year that Melech HaMoshiach will be revealed [what is expected to happen in the world at the time when Melech HaMoshiach will be revealed], all the kings of the nations of the world will provoke1 each other [the threats of war among the nations will be heard in every corner of the world throughout the countries and between one another].

SUMMARY OF THE DEVELOPMENTS [The numbers in parenthesis refer to further explanations found in the Hebrew version]PHASE 1 (2) King of Persia [Leader of Iran] (4) will threaten (3) the King of Arabia [threats of war against the king of Saudi Arabia (which is the only Arab country which still has the name Arabia)]PHASE 2 (5) The king of Arabia goes to Edom to get advice from them [The king of Saudi Arabia goes to the Western countries, which are led by America, to consult about how to act against the threat of war from Iran].PHASE 3 And King of Persia goes back (6) and destroys the whole world [it is clear that you cannot destroy the whole world with conventional weapons. It means to annihilate the world with nuclear weapons. [and destroys the whole world– the meaning isn’t actually the whole world, the meaning is most of it is as all of it, meaning to destroy most of the countries of the world].

And all the nations of the world [meaning the countries that are left and weren’t destroyed, see further on - according to the prophesy of Zechariah (13:8) two thirds of the world will be destroyed and only a third will remain] will be frantic and hysterical and falling on their faces and will be as if seized by (7) something like birth pains [a terrible and horrified fear that was unknown until now will grasp all the remaining nations - lest they too will die in a nuclear war (because they will be unable to protect themselves from the nuclear explosion and the radioactivity that will be formed)]. And the people of Israel will be frantic and hysterical [because of the terrible fear that will be in the world that Iran (Persia) will also attack Israel]. And they will say, where will we come and go [since there will be no possibility to find help or support and there will be no natural way to be saved - and about this situation it is said we have no one to rely on except our Father in Heaven] and they will say: Where will be come and go? [The Medrish repeats this twice to emphasize the helplessness and fear that will be then]. And Hashem will say to them [HaKadosh Baruch Hu to the people of Israel]: do not fear my children [you have nothing to fear], all that I have done I did only for you [HaKadosh Baruch Hu calms Israel, that all the destruction of war was only for your good - to destroy the wicked Kingdom of Edom and to remove evil from this world and make it possible for the Melech HaMoshiach to be revealed and rule over the world] Why are you afraid? [HaKadosh Baruch Hu repeats and calms Israel a second time from the great and terrible fear, similar to the repetition: be comforted, be comforted, my people (Isaiah 40:1)] The time for your Redemption has come!

CAN WE SEE THIS HAPPENING NOW?

In order that one should not think these words of the Medrish are incompatible with the reality of our days, it is important to clarify what often appears in the media regarding the King of Persia (President of Iran) and about the mahdi.The current president of Iran since his election has declared several times in public, that the main purpose of his government is to promote the arrival of the mahdi, and for this purpose all military and economical resources will be given. He also said in the UN Assembly (September 25, 2007) that very soon the powerful Western countries will fall and be destroyed.According to his belief and the belief of the radical cult that he is part of, the way to bring the mahdi (the Shiite messiah who is supposedly, according to their distorted beliefs, going to impose the region of Islam on the whole world) is by creating a situation of chaos with local and international destruction. That is why the President of Iran says they must ignite a local war and then destroy the Western world (which in his opinion is the root of all evil) using nuclear bombs. This threat isn’t just an ideology or idle talk. Recently there was an article in the press that Israeli Intelligence has concrete information that Iran has a secret nuclear reactor that it is producing there nuclear warheads for rockets. As it is known today, the government of Iran is made up only from the people of this cult who believe in this mahdi ideology. Whoever doubts this is dismissed from the government (as was the commander of the Iranian revolutionary guards; he was removed from his position and replaced by someone loyal to the President of Iran ym's)

Another interesting item that often appeared in the world press: astrologists see something amazing: very soon the Western world will be destroyed by Iran by nuclear weapons (this corresponds exactly with the words of the Medrish above). To differentiate, lately there have been a few Tzaddikim in our generation who also say that soon there will be a nuclear war outside of Israel and in Eretz Yisroel will be the selection that was foretold in the prophesy of Zecharia (13:8) and Isaiah 6 (v'od ba assirya etc –see Kesubos 112b) by an earthquake, terrifying in its power, unlike anything known in the past.In view of all this, it is clear that the words of this Medrish: and the King of Persia returns and destroys the whole world are very realistic and in light of ongoing world events, it is quite possible that this will actually happen in the near future. There is also another striking event related to this in the words of our Torah Sages of 2000 years ago (in Yalkut Shimoni Shs”h 4:988) Rabbi Barchiya said: in three hours in the future HaKadosh Baruch Hu will punish Esav and his men.Thus our Torah Scholars (z'l) tell us here that the destruction of the evil Kingdom of Edom will be accomplished in three hours. It is very possible that a nuclear war, as mentioned above, could last only 3 hours and in that time, the evil Kingdom of Edom could be destroyed [as must happen as stated in the prophesy of Ovadia (1:18) and several other prophets]. It is known from our sages z'l [Malbim, Abarbanel etc.] that today Esav is America, the countries of Europe and the West.

NOTE: When the Medrish says and destroys the world, it doesn’t mean the whole world, literally; it means according to the Talmudic axiom most of it is considered as all of it. One can understand the words of the Midrash from the prophesy of Zecharia (13:8) and there was throughout Land the words of HaShem,two parts [of the world] will be cut off and destroyed and a third of it will remain, which means two thirds of the population of the world will die. Only a third will be left. All this is regarding the nations of the world as it says in the commentaries there. However concerning Am Yisroel, chas v'shalom, the situation could be even worse if we don't do Tshuva, as it is written in the Gemorrah (Kesubos 112b, see there). Rashi explains there when nine parts (of Am Yisroel) will be lost and nothing will be left but a tenth. Meaning that in the selection process that will take place before the arrival of the Moshiach, 90% of Am Yisroel will die chas v'shalom (if they don't do tshuva) and only a tenth will survive.

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM ALL OF THIS?

We can see that we are very likely right before a third World War, the like of which has not been known in the past, which will start because of Iran. As we saw clearly the Prophets and Torah scholars of Israel predicted this thousands of years ago. According to their words as we explained above, the war will develop in 3 stages, one after the other:

Phase 1 - Iran threatens and provokes the king of Saudi Arabia

Phase 2 - King of Saudi Arabia goes to the countries of the West [lead by America] to get advice how to protect themselves

Phase 3 - Iran opens a nuclear war and destroys the Western world. (It is possible between these phases there will be only a few hours)

WHAT EACH OF US CAN DO

Now everyone has a last opportunity and must choose the direction in which he is headed and decide where his loyalties stand. He has to choose between the good and the bad, between life and death. He has to choose between complete loyalty to the Creator of the World and abandoning himself to the dangers of death, chas v'shalom (if he continues to act according to his desires and follow the vanities of this world).Whoever wants to save himself, his family and more Jews, the path he should take what he should do to be saved B'Ezrat HaShem is: to accept upon himself Mitzvat Aseh of Tshuva, and make a true chesbon nefesh [accounting] as he never did before, on all his deeds until now (as many as he can remember) and then:

1. Regret every sin that he did against the will of G-d (lo taaseh) and every sin he avoided doing, Mitzvos HaShem [mitzvat Aseh]

2. Confess with as much tears and sorrow as possible

3. Accept upon himself that he will be faithful to the Creator, will keep all the mitzvos, keep the ways of HaShem with all his heart and not go back to his evil ways.

4. Of course, if one fails and falls again, then he must immediately get up and start anew, and also l'asok B'Torah and gmilus chassadim l'shem Shomayim, and he will be saved B'Ezrat HaShem, and merit to greet Moshiach Tzidkaynu speedily in our time, Amen.

12 TRIBES INHERIT LAND IN THE FUTURE

EZEKIEL 47:13-23,48:1-35
13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
15 And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
18 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.
19 And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
20 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
21 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.
1 Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.
2 And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher.
3 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali.
4 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh.
5 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim.
6 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben.
7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah.
8 And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
9 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.
10 And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.
11 It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
12 And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.
13 And over against the border of the priests the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
14 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD.
15 And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
16 And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.
17 And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
18 And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.
19 And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.
20 All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.
21 And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.
22 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion.
24 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion.
25 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion.
26 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion.
27 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a portion.
28 And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea.
29 This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD.
30 And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.
31 And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.
32 And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.
33 And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.
34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.
35 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.

Who are the Pathans?
By YesPakistan.com Staff Writer

The Pathans live in Northern Pakistan and Afghanistan. The group is made up of some 60Pushto-speaking tribes. The Pathans, also known as Pakhtuns, Pashtuns, Pushtuns, and Pakhtoons, number some 10 million in Pakistan and some 8 million in Afghanistan. They make up the largest ethnocultural group in Afghanistan.The Pathans comprise distinct groups. Some live as nomads in the high mountains with herds of goats and camels; others, such as those living in the Swat Valley, are farmers; and still others are traders or seasonal laborers. However, this ethnographic description defies the fact that they constitute more than 20% of Pakistan's armed forces and dominate Pakistan's transportation industry and have provided the most popular Pakistani president Ayub Khan who lead the major industrialization movement which Pakistan has seen in the last 54 years.The British attacked the Pathans in the late 19th and early 20th century. They were finally forced to offer the Pathans a semiautonomous area between the border of British India and Afghanistan. After the creation of Pakistan in 1947, the new nation annexed the Pathan border regions.

In the early 1950s, the Soviet Union through Afghanistan supported Pathan ambitions for the creation of an independent Pushtunistan (also called Pakhtunistan) in the border areas of West Pakistan. Several border clashes and ruptures of diplomatic relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan ensued. The movement was never able to gain popular support considering that Pathans in Pakistan were always better off than Pathans in Afghanistan.Pathans also helped liberate the part of Kashmir which is now under Pakistan's control. Their support and hospitality to more than four million Afghan refugees was crucial in Afghan's liberation from the Soviet Union.The Pathans are known as people who are brave, simple, and sincere in their dealings with others. They are noted as fierce fighters, and throughout history they have offered strong resistance to invaders. They staunchly hold on to their cultural traditions and connect with one another in a visceral way. Most are guided by a tribal code of ethics, Pakhtunwali, or way of the Pakhtun (Pathan).Tribal customs and traditions make up the biggest part of the Pathan society. The tenets of Pakhtunwali show the true essence of Pathan culture and these rules are followed religiously. It incorporates the following major practices: melmastia (hospitality and protection to every guest); nanawati (the right of a fugitive to seek a place of refuge, and acceptance of his bona fide offer of peace); badal (the right of blood feuds or revenge); tureh (bravery); sabar (steadfastness); imandari righteousness); isteqamat (persistence); ghayrat (defense of property and honor); and mamus (defense of one's women).

The Ten Lost Tribes: Pathans (Pakistan)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/531159/posts

One subject of the Lost Tribes which has generally been ignored which I found to be personally fascinating are the tribe of the Pathans. The Pathans are about 15 million people living mainly in Pakistan and Afghanistan as well as in Persia and India. They have a tradition of being of the Lost Tribes and have Israeli customs. The Pathans have custom of circumcision on the 8th day. This is a known Jewish custom, and is the oldest Jewish tradition. I myself witnessed and was present at a very joyous circumcision ceremony on the 8th day after birth. Muslims have custom of circumcision but it is not on the 8th day, and usually at the age of 12. The Pathans have a sort of small Tallit called Kafan. This is a 4 cornered garment which they tie strings similar to the fringes (Jews call them Tzitzit) and is one of the oldest Jewish traditions going back to the Torah and it is a sign of their Israeli origin. They also have bigger Tallit which they call Joy-Namaz. It is a garment 2-3 meters sq., and it is made to cover the head and part of the shoulders, and is used for prayer by spreading on the ground in the Muslim fashion. It has no fringes. The Pathans have custom of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is considered a day of rest and they do not labor, cook or bake. The Pathans prepare 12 Hallot (traditional Jewish bread, Leviticus 24:5) in honor of the Sabbath as was done in the ancient temple. One of the significant indicators proving the Israeli origins of the Pathans is the lighting of the candle to honor the Sabbath. After lighting, the candle is covered usually by a large basket. The candle is lit by a woman past her menopause.

Pathans Live in Customs of Israelites

Pathans have custom of Kosher, dietary laws same as Jews. Pathans do not eat horse or camel meat, which is most common in their area but of course forbidden to Jews. There is some evidence to their not eating meat and milk together which is also an ancient Israeli tradition. And they have a tradition regarding differentiating between pure and impure birds which means permitted and not permitted birds similar to the Torah.

Some still wear a small box which Jews call Tefillin (phylactery) containing a verse of the Bible. This box resemble Japanese Tokin of Yamabushi's forehead, too. This is an ancient custom of Israel. In the Jewish box there is the verse of Shema Israel, that is, Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!(Deuteronomy 6:4) This custom of Tefillin came from a verse of the Scriptures,You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes(Deuteronomy 6:8). It is interesting to note that the Pathans retain family names of the Lost Tribes such as Asher, Gad, Naphtali, Reuben and Manasseh and Ephraim. Among them there are people who are called by these names, which are of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. There are also people who are called Israel, Samuel, and so on, which are never found among the Muslims. There are also many areas as locations, neighborhoods and villages with names of places that are similar to names in the land of Israel. The region has archeological finds testifying to a Hebrew past, and they also resemble Jews of the area and their language Pashtu surprisingly has many Hebrew words. The Pathans are also called Afghans, or sons of the Pashtu which is their language, were mostly called Bani-Israel meaning children of Israel even though they live today as devout Muslims.The external appearance of the Pathans resemble the Jews of the area. Together with their ancient customs and other data there is a definite connection that can be made to the Tribes of Israel.The Pathans number 6 to 7 million in Afghanistan and 7 to 8 million in Pakistan. They live in the border area between these two countries and about 2 million live as nomads. These Pathans desire for their independence, which is supported by Afghanistan and is a cause of constant tension in Pakistan which does not desire their independence.

Pathans' Law Resembles the Torah

Afghanistan is one of the least developed countries of Asia and the majority of the population is illiterate. They work primarily in farming and sheep-raising and other domesticated animals.Most people still live in villages and some even live as nomads. It is a country that is ruled by Islamic religious law and more than 90 % of the population are Sunni Muslims. But whatever modernization has taken place, it has not reached the mountainous border areas. Here the Pathans continue their centuries old tribal life.The legal system which is known as Pashtunwali, the law of the Pashtu, is very similar to the Torah, which is the holiest Jewish book and the book of ancient Jewish way of life. There are pages and even complete books among the pathans and they honor greatly what is called Tavrad El Sharif (the Torah of Moses), and they rise at the mention of the name of Moses even though it is not important in Islam. The Pathans are very healthy, tall, and have strong light-skinned appearance. They are warriors and carry arms from a young age, they are hardworking, wise, truthful and extremely loyal and they also have a worldwide reputation for exemplary hospitality.The ethnic origin of these Pathans has puzzled people for some time because they are different both externally and in the character traits from the other groups around them such as the Turks, the Mongolians, the Persians, or the Indo-Iranians. It is also difficult to trace their past history in a region in which tens of nations and major tribes of various origins have come and gone.The personal identification of the Pathan Tribes with their Israelite origin is expressed in various ways. Besides the oral tradition related by the elders of the tribe, there are also interesting testimonies of keeping of scrolls of genealogy among the tribes, reaching back to the Fathers of the Jewish nation.

These scrolls are well preserved and some are written in gold on the skins of a doe. No less interesting and significant are the names of the tribes which bear close resemblance to the Tribes of Israel. The Rabbani Tribe is really Reuben, the Shinware Tribe is Shimon, the Lewani Tribe is Levi, The Daftani Tribe is Naphtali, and the Jaji Tribe is Gad, and the Ashuri Tribe is Asher, The Yusefsai Tribe is sons of Joseph, and the Afridi Tribe is really Ephraim. These are the names of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.The Pathans themselves point out the differences between the original names of the tribes and their present names are because of the different dialects of the languages so that, for instance, Jaji was actually called Gaji for the tribe of Gad.There are some Jews of Afghanistan today who count the Tribe of Israel among the Pathans. The physical similarity between the Pathans and other Jews is exemplified by the British ruled Afghanistan for a great length of time and called the Pathans Jews. When not wearing their traditional clothing Pathans are indistinguishable from other Jews of the area. Among the 21 nations of Afghanistan only the Pathans and the Jews have Semitic features, their faces are longer and lighter, and some even have blue eyes. Like the Jews of the area, Pathans grow beards and sidelocks which further serve to make them indistinguishable from Jews.

Israeli Features of the Pathans

The Pathans have many other features as descendants of Israelites.

Their wedding is like Jewish. Wedding ceremony with the Pathans includes a marriage canopy and rings similar to the Jewish custom.Women of the Pathans keep laws similar to the Jewish laws regarding menstruation. During this time and for 7 days after, no contact is allowed with the husband. After this period, the woman immerses in a river or spring or in a bathhouse if a natural spring is not available. This is exactly the same as the Israeli tradition going back to the days of the Bible. Pathans have custom of levirate marriage, which is the custom when a husband dies without children, his brother marries the widow to keep the name of the house. This custom no longer exists today, but was an ancient Israeli custom mentioned in the Bible (Deuteronomy 25:5-6).The commandment to honor one's parent is kept in exemplary manner in these tribes. The son must obey the parents in all matters. When the father enters the room all stand and bow their heads in his honor. This was a Israeli tradition as well.Pathans have custom of Yom Kippur. We know of some of the members of the Lewani Tribe who came to the Jewish synagogue on Yom Kippur each year in Afghanistan. He would stay there until sundown without uttering even one word. He spoke of the tradition of the Temple on this day and of the high priest and his work there.One year he erred in his calendar and did not come, he wept bitterly for one week for missing the observance of this day.The Pathans have custom of scapegoat. In ancient Israel there was the custom to put sins of the nation onto a goat and send the goat away to desert. This custom of scapegoat was done to atone the sins of the nation (Leviticus chapter 16). Similar custom is found even today among the Pathans.

The Pathans usually pray in mosque. However some pray towards Jerusalem which is most unusual. There are some very old synagogues in their area and Pathans come to these synagogues on special days in times of great stress or tragedies or for special prayers. The individual who seeks help comes there to touch the lock and to pray. There are those who say that these places once contained scrolls of the Torah. This is interesting because today they are actually devout Muslims.At the time of plague the Pathans slaughter a sheep and sprinkle its blood on the doorpost of their homes. This is what the Israelites did in ancient Egypt during the plagues that occurred there.An interesting testimony relates to the placing of a wrapped book of Psalms of the Bible under the pillow of the ill in order to heal that person.There are those who have said that there are Amulets written in Hebrew. Some contain the phrase Shema Israel and it is secretly written by the head of the tribe and it is forbidden to open it.And the symbol of Shield of David (Star of David) is found in almost every Pathan house. The wealthy make it out of expensive metals and the poor out of simple wood. It can be seen in towers, in schools and also in tools, bracelets, and jewelry. I saw it at least 20 times in a variety of places. In Minerajan, the center of Afghanistan, there are even schools that have the Shield of David on the door or in the stone above the door.
