REVELATION 17:12-13
12 And the ten horns (NATIONS) which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

DANIEL 9:26-27
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come (ROMANS IN AD 70) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;(ROMANS DESTROYED THE 2ND TEMPLE) and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he( EU ROMAN, JEWISH DICTATOR) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:( 7 YEARS) and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,( 3 1/2 YRS) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

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

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

Europe's disreputable system for fixing its president
Published: Wednesday 22 July 2009 David Price, Schuman.info

Europe needs an ethically robust system to choose a real leader with civic guts and moral courage,writes David Price, founder of the Schuman.info website, in a July post on Blogactiv.It is a damning commentary on the democratic ethics of the 27 governments of the EU that they choose the president of the European Commission in secret, without any recourse to democracy,Price writes.It is far, far from the democratic principles that Robert Schuman announced sixty years ago,he explains, adding:It is a far cry from the principles of human rights that Schuman and others formulated in 1948-50 and set as European law.How should Europeans elect the European Commission? Who should be Europe's leader? Shouldn't all Europeans be involved in the election?,Price asks.Candidates for the Commission sometimes mysteriously appear, he laments, complaining that an impartial, non-political and independent-minded person with civic courage is considered an outcast by the Council.Nevertheless, the European Commission is the most important body for the political, economic and social future of the European Union,Price states.The president of the Commission is the key position in the world's most important commercial power, the European Union.In one sense, the Commission president is the European equivalent of the president of the United States of America,he insists, even claiming that in actual fact it is far more important,since the European Union is a larger economic power than the United States.

According to Price, the EU is the world's economic superpower,especially given that the USA is in full financial, political and military crisis.The dollar and the US economy have slumped, cankered by banking frauds and external debts [while] the euro is constrained by statute from such reckless overspending,he explains.Thus, potentially the European leader can be far more important than the leader of any single country,the blogger claims.If Europe has such a policy option for the world, isn't the election of a European president of enormous importance for the planet?,he asks.The Commission president must work inside a system where impartiality, independence and moral character are required to bring together some thirty countries with different traditions and histories. That requires someone who will listen, someone who is humble, courageous and wise and not a rabble-rouser,the blog post concludes.

Welcome to Obama Crimes Press Release
For Immediate Release: - 07/02/2009

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder; his Staff; and the United States Department of Justice to which he Over-Sees .Violated the Code of Federal Regulations as well as Federal Criminal Laws Pertaining to their Conflict-of-Interest in Berg’s Qui Tam Case [False Claims Act] against Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack H. Obama and Berg has filed a Motion for Reconsideration.

(Washington, DC – 07/02/2009) - Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the first Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama's lack of Constitutional qualifications/eligibility to serve as President of the United States and his cases that are still pending in Federal Court, Berg vs. Obama [Third Circuit Court of Appeals No. 08 – 4340]; this case - Berg as Relator v. Obama; [U. S. District Court for the District of Columbia No. 08-cv-01933]; and Hollister vs. Soetoro a/k/a Obama, et al [U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, No. 09-5080]; announced today that he filed a Motion for Reconsideration in the Qui Tam [False Claims Act] Case filed in the U.S. District Court, District of Columbia as United States Attorney General Eric Holder and his Office have a Conflict-of-Interest and inasmuch violated both the Federal Regulations as well as Federal Criminal Codes. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, his Office, his Staff and the United States Department of Justice are required to uphold and ensure our laws; the laws of the United States are upheld and enforced.

Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution states:

The Constitution entrusts the Executive with duty to take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.Berg said, The request of the Government to Dismiss his Qui Tam action against Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack H. Obama is in clear violation of the U.S. Attorney General’s duties pursuant to Article II, Section 3 and should NOT be allowed.

Berg continues,I furnished the Government and the Court with the information as to Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama’s legal name, which is Barry Soetoro and his citizenship status as Indonesian; I furnished sworn Affidavits showing Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama was born in Mombosa, Kenya; I presented evidence that the Certification of Live Birth [COLB] presented on the internet by Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama has been deemed a forged and altered document; I presented evidence that the birth announcement filed in the Hawaiian newspapers regarding Barack H. Obama on or about August 13, 1961 could not be verified; I presented evidence Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama never resided in the address on the birth announcement; and I raised the genuine issues pertaining to Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama’s college records wherein Berg is informed, believes and therefore alleges Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama attended Occidental College in California and Columbia University in New York and Harvard Law School as a foreign student. None of which have been refuted by the Government.Instead of investigating the true issues, the Government through the United States Attorney General Eric Holder, his staff and the United States Department of Justice, who U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder also over-sees moved to Dismiss the Qui Tam action instead of upholding our United States Constitution and the very laws stated to protect we the people from any individual usurping the Office of the President of the United States.Berg’s Qui Tam was regarding the U.S. Senator Position from Illinois held by Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack H. Obama and the salary and benefits Obama drew based on fraudulent claims. This is a very unique situation as Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama is now our acting President of the United States. President Obama appointed Eric Holder for the position of the United States Attorney General and Mr. Holder reports directly to President Obama. This creates a huge Conflict-of-Interest with anyone from U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s Office having any association with the Qui Tam matter against, now, President Obama.

There are Federal Statutory prohibitions and related regulations addressing Conflicts-of-Interest on the part of present officers or employees of the Federal (and in some instances of the District of Columbia) government.The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 5 CFR § 2635, et seq. and 5 CFR § 2640, et seq. governs Governmental Employees, including U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and his staff. 5 CFR § 2635.101 states in pertinent part,(a) Public service is a public trust. Each employee has a responsibility to the United States Government and its citizens to place loyalty to the Constitution, laws and ethical principles above private gain.In addition to the standards of ethical conduct set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations, there are Conflict-of-Interest statutes that prohibit certain conduct. Criminal Conflict-of-Interest statutes of general applicability to all employees, 18 U.S.C. §§ 201, 203, 205, 208, and 209, are summarized in the appropriate subparts located in these chapters and must be taken into consideration in determining whether conduct is proper.As to the restrictions on Conflicts-of-Interest during government service, only Section 208 is illuminated by formal regulations, which are found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

5 CFR. § 2640.103 Prohibition states:(a) Statutory prohibition. Unless permitted by 18 U.S.C. 208(b) (1)–(4), an employee is prohibited by 18 U.S.C. 208(a) from participating personally and substantially in an official capacity in any particular matter in which, to his knowledge, he or any other person specified in the statute has a financial interest, if the particular matter will have a direct and predictable effect on that interest. The restrictions of 18 U.S.C. 208 are described more fully in 5 CFR 2635.401 and 2635.402.Berg stated, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has a financial interest as does his staff as they draw their income from the Government who is over-seen by Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack H. Obama.Eric Holder joined President Obama’s presidential campaign as senior legal advisor and also served as one of three [3] members on Obama’s vice-presidential selection committee. In December 2008, then President-elect, Obama asked Eric Holder to serve in his cabinet as the U.S. Attorney General. Mr. Holder was appointed by President Obama and now serves as the United States Attorney General; is the head of the United States Department of Justice and United States Attorney General’s Office. Eric Holder is paid by the United States Government and reports directly to President Obama. Eric Holder has a direct financial interest in that he draws a salary based on his position as United States Attorney General. This Conflict-of-Interest goes beyond financial. The United States Attorney General is the Chief Law enforcement officer of the Federal Government and represents the United States in legal matters and gives advice and opinions to the President of the United States.Conflicts-of-Interest include but are not limited to a financial interest; a personal interest; improper business practices; etc. Berg continued, It is clear U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the staff in which he supervises have a huge Conflict-of-Interest as they have financial interests as well as personal interests which limits them from doing their job as required pursuant to the United States Constitution and therefore, Attorney General Eric Holder should recuse himself and/or designate Relator Philip J. Berg to proceed.Berg concluded,I am not giving up and am continuing my legal fight to prove Obama is not constitutionally qualified/eligible to be President of the United States. I am proceeding for the 305 + million people in our U.S.A., for our forefathers and for the 1.5 million men and women that have died defending our Constitution in the many wars over the years and the 1.5 million men and women who were injured in those wars.

Tell Obama the meaning of the term birth certificate FedEx personalized letter demanding he prove eligibility July 27, 2009 9:50 pm Eastern 2009 WorldNetDaily

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama is making it crystal clear he has no plans to release documents that will assure millions of American doubters he is indeed constitutionally eligible for the presidency.The administration is taking a hard line against releasing a copy of Obama's birth certificate, claiming nothing will ever satisfy those who demand proof of his Hawaiian birth.White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says Obama has made the case ad nauseum. He added there was nothing he could to assuage those who believe he wasn't born here.But that's not really the point,says Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND. This is not about whether Obama feels like changing minds. This is a constitutional requirement. And if Obama continues to flout the Constitution, the pressure is only going to rise.Farah, who previously launched an eligibility petition campaign that has garnered more than 400,000 electronic signatures, staked a $10,000 bounty for anyone with first-hand information about Obama's birth and is conducting a national billboard campaign on the birth certificate, has a birthday surprise ready for Obama next week. He is asking people to flood the White House with personalized letters to Obama demanding the birth certificate and other pertinent documents which he will overnight deliver to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in time for Obama's birthday next Tuesday. Join a fax blast campaign asking attorneys general across the nation to investigate Obama's eligiblity.

I don't know if this campaign will do any good, said Farah.But I do know he's going to get a message from the American people this week and next that he never imagined. If he thinks this story is fading away, he's got another think coming.The letter, which will be individually, electronically signed by each participant in the program, begins: Today, according to your autobiographical account, you turn 48 years old. I am asking you to use the occasion of your birthday to clear up a serious and rapidly growing controversy surrounding your presidency – a controversy regarding your birth.I'm referring, of course, to your unwillingness so far to release publicly a document critical to the establishment of your constitutional eligibility for the highest office in the land,the letter continues.That document is a long-form certificate of live birth, better known as a birth certificate – the only document that can authoritatively establish the actual hospital of your birth and the attending physician.Sending the letter costs the participant only $6.95 for the overnight delivery by Federal Express.If people want to write their own letters, I encourage it,says Farah.But this is an easy way to get involved at a low cost and with high impact.

The letter to Obama continues:

Your spokesmen have tried to diminish and denigrate the importance of releasing such a document – claiming, in fact, that you have done so by the issuance of a certification of live birth,a short-form document that cannot possibly be used as the basis for establishing your unquestionable constitutional eligibility as a natural born citizen.The problem with the short-form certification is that it could easily be obtained for a birth that took place out of the state or out of the country. All it would take is the word of one parent.You pledged to lead an administration that would be noted for its transparency and openness upon winning the presidency. Yet, you have demonstrated a shocking unwillingness to be transparent and open about your own life story. You've refused steadfastly to release simple personal documents such as your birth certificate, passport information and your college records and papers – the kinds of documents all other presidents and even presidential candidates routinely release for public and press scrutiny.The American people are becoming more aware of this obstinacy on your part and are growing more deeply suspicious about what you may or may not be hiding.As you celebrate your birthday this week, I join with other American citizens in asking you to do the right thing – release a copy of your long-form birth certificate along with all your college records and passport history.As Americans face up to the tough challenges confronting them, it is critical that they have confidence in their representative government and their knowledge that the rule of law applies to everyone equally – including the president of the United States.

Sincerely,

The campaign runs until Monday, Aug. 3 at 1 p.m. Eastern time – to ensure all letters get to Obama by his birthday. My goal is to ensure Obama gets at least 10,000 birthday surprise letters – and the message that he cannot continue to dodge this issue,said Farah.Obama wrote in his autobiography that he had a birth certificate that caused him to question his own identity. Now it's time for him to share that mystery with the rest of us.

EVIL INVENTIONS ARE PREDICTED IN THE BIBLE.

ROMANS 1:29-32
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Massive US Terrorism Simulation Involving Foreign Agencies Begins Today ,Mainstream media AWOL again as huge drill begins nationwide Steve Watson Infowars.net Monday, July 27, 2009

A huge simulation coordinated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has begun today with no mainstream media coverage at all.The security exercise known as National Level Exercise 09 (NLE 09) will last for five days and will involve foreign security officials working in conjunction with the US military, as well as Federal, State, Local Tribal and Private Sector representatives.According to a factsheet in the recesses of the FEMA website, the agency will host National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09) on July 27 through July 31, 2009:NLE 09 will be the first major exercise conducted by the United States government that will focus exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection, as opposed to incident response and recovery, the factsheet states. It is designated as a Tier I National Level Exercise, or TOPOFF, which are exercises conducted annually in accordance with the National Exercise Program (NEP),which serves as the nation’s overarching exercise program for planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating national level exercises,according to FEMA.NLE 09 will focus on intelligence and information sharing among intelligence and law enforcement communities, and between international, federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector participants.The FEMA information sheet states that the exercise involves a scenario that begins in the aftermath of a notional terrorist event outside the United States, and exercise play will center on preventing subsequent efforts by the terrorists to enter the United States and carry out additional attacks. This scenario enables participating senior officials to focus on issues related to preventing terrorist events domestically and protecting U.S. critical infrastructure.The exercise will also include agencies in Britain, Mexico, Canada and Australia, the Department of Homeland Security has said. The Navajo Nation will also participate.

This year the United States welcomes the participation of Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom in NLE 09.The FEMA factsheet does not explain why the participation of foreign officials is necessary, nor does it elaborate on the roles they will play.Canadian federal involvement was today confirmed in a press release attributed to Public Safety Canada. The Press release also noted the involvement of the United Kingdom, Australia and Mexico.An independent reporter from Oklahoma (or FEMA region VI) was informed that NLE 09 is not media friendly because it largely involves people looking at computer screens in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.After asking if it would be possible to sit in on the exercise, Andrew W. Griffin of Red Dirt Report was told by Brook Arbeitman, the public information officer for the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security, that this was not possible and that the exercise is mostly decompartmentalized.Arbeitman, interestingly enough, could not answer some more in-depth questions about NLE 09 because she is a role player in the exercise, playing – you guessed it – a public information officer for Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security and as a result is not privy to some of the specifics.We will be playing along with everybody to whatever extent the exercise proceeds, Arbeitman said.

According to FEMA, the Departments of Homeland Security, Defense, Justice, and State, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and a broad spectrum of component agencies, offices and commands will all participate in the exercise.NLE 09 activities will take place at command posts, emergency operation centers, intelligence centers and field locations throughout the country, including federal headquarters facilities in the Washington, D.C. area as well as facilities in Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and California.In our previous story on NLE 09, we noted that this exercise is a continuation of previous simulations under FEMA and the DHS that have involved the rounding-up and internment of American citizens labeled as suspected terrorists.Under REX 84 and other operations, FEMA, in association with 34 other federal civil departments and agencies, has consistently trained to detain large numbers of Americans.We also noted that several recently leaked Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and local law enforcement documents have stated that the focus of security operations should be rightwing extremists who support the Second Amendment and states’ rights and oppose abortion and open borders.

IBM, UNISYS And Partner Corporations Push Supply Chain Eugenics
Chris Paine Prisonplanet.com Tuesday, July 28, 2009

The global elite sure love to flaunt their intentions in front of the masses. Take the recent IBM propaganda push for the Global Information Grid (GIG) (ad 1, ad 2, ad 3) technology or Smart Grid as they call it. Their most brazen push so far is blatantly showing how all of your personal information would be accessible from a single database that is connected to multiple agencies around the world. They even push their eugenics propaganda when they talk about tailoring vaccines to your DNA. These ads run multiple times a day on national television right now! UNISYS, an international computer security firm that has ties to virtually all sectors of the government, is actually taking on the eugenics agenda from a technological perspective called Supply Chain Eugenics. According to their recent propaganda video, they describe the many facets of industry that their security technology can protect or control by using Artificial Intelligence software that can determine problems or attacks before they occur. This software is oddly familiar to the capabilities of the AI software recently coming back out into the spotlight known as Ptech. They also specifically make the point multiple times in their video that those who do not comply with the system get left behind and will die.The major example of a modern day place using this technology is the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. During the bridge collapse over the Missouri River in 2007, the City’s Information website was being bombarded by traffic and needed attention in order to help notify the general public of the disaster. The Chief Information Officer, Lynn Willenbring, states that UNISYS called her and offered to take over all of the IT functions of the city immediately in order to fix their problems, free of charge! Today, UNISYS runs all IT functions of transportation and security in the City of Minneapolis, with street cameras and database protection software. They also have wireless broadband anywhere in the city, accessible by businesses and citizens alike.

However, while all of those things may seem like nice perks and benefits, do not be fooled. They are all tools of control used by the NWO to suppress the population. They will have the power of all of your personal data and total control over the use of the internet at their fingertips allowing them to make sure that people only travel where they say we can and only use what they provide for us and only hear what they want us to hear. It will be used to totally monopolize the markets and make everything function in their favor.The video provided by Anti-Illuminati Film Productions, shows how the UNISYS video is linked to Indira Singh’s testimony on Ptech, as well as accounts by John Zachman, the father of enterprise architecture (aka free thinking AI). It also shows how even 14 years ago in the Hollywood movie, The Net starring Sandra Bullock, the entire concept with Ptech (Gatekeeper in the movie) and the GIG going on right now, was thrown right in our faces and we didn’t even know it! In the wake of potential catastrophic events, lets hope that the majority of the world wakes up about this before its too late because the price of remaining unaware is nothing short of slavery.http://www.vimeo.com/5770472

MATTHEWS TRUTHERS,BIRTHERS ARE INSANE

MSNBC’s Matthews: Truthers, Birthers Are Insane
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Tuesday, July 28, 2009

During a discussion of the Obama birth certificate controversy, MSNBC host Chris Matthews and his guests implied that anyone who questions the official 9/11 story, thinks the Bilderberg group are exercising power to create a world government, people who are worried about gun control and immigration, or even people who are merely skeptical of government, are psychologically insane.Responding to Matthews’ implication that people who had questions about Obama’s birthplace were full mooners and insane, MSNBC political analyst Howard Fineman included people who are worried about the government taking up the guns, people who deny the federal government has a right to tax your income, people who are worried about being overrun at the borders, in the same category and said they were merely looking for a reason to find a conspiracy behind Obama.Matthews then brought up a psychological test which featured the question,Is somebody chasing you right now?, implying that anyone who doubts what the government tells them would answer in the affirmative, before asking, Are we talking psychological problems here with people or what? Politico writer Ken Vogel then characterized people who question 9/11 and people who think Bilderberg are working towards a world government as a group that Republicans need to watch out for if they want to avoid being marginalized.

Matthews then said he was in love with Vogel because he had reminded him of all the androgynous zones of insanity, before cracking a lame joke about George W. Bush detonating the twin towers with a plunger.Vogel then responded by including Ron Paul and supporters in the mix, noting that they embrace an innate distrust of federal government,again in the same context that to do so is a display of insanity.
Essentially, Matthews and his guests are implying that anyone who doubts the government’s official 9/11 story, anyone who believes the Bilderberg group have influence or power, anyone concerned about gun control and open borders, and anyone who is just generally skeptical or doesn’t trust government, is on the fringes of society, is potentially psychologically insane and may need treatment.This is of course manifestly absurd – if embracing any one of those concerns deems one to be psychologically unstable and on the fringes then the majority of the American people would be classified as psychologically insane.Indeed, only yesterday Rep. Collin Peterson, a Democrat, told Politico, Twenty-five percent of my people believe the Pentagon and Rumsfeld were responsible for taking the twin towers down.In addition, a 2006 Zogby poll revealed that less than half of the American public trusts the official 9/11 story or believes the attacks were adequately investigated.Does more than half of the population of America constitute a fringe element? It seems that Matthews, Vogel and Fineman aren’t as mainstream as they apparently thought they were – they are in fact the minority.In reality, it is Matthews and his fellow establishment peanut gallery talking heads that need psychological help, embracing as they do some bizarre cult-like faith that government is angelic and can be completely trusted without skepticism.As we have seen before in history, the designation of political opinions deemed to be antagonistic towards or even merely skeptical of the state is a hallmark of tyranny.As Kurt Nimmo wrote last week in a story about a German man who was sent to a psychiatric institute for protesting Obama;In the former Soviet Union, psikhushkas — mental hospitals — were used by the state as prisons in order to isolate political prisoners, discredit their ideas, and break them physically and mentally. The Soviet state began using mental hospitals to punish dissidents in 1939 under Stalin. The Psychiatric Prison Hospital in the city of Kazan was transferred to NKVD (the secret police organization for the People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs) control and in 1969 Yuri Andropov, the head of KGB, submitted to the Central Committee of Communist Party of the Soviet Union a plan for creating a network of psikhushkas.

According to official Soviet psychiatry and the Moscow Serbsky Institute at the time, ideas about a struggle for truth and justice are formed by personalities with a paranoid structure.Treatment for this special political schizophrenia included various forms of restraint, electric shocks, electromagnetic torture, radiation torture, lumbar punctures, various drugs — such as narcotics, tranquilizers, and insulin — and beatings. Anne Applebaum, author of Gulag: A History, indicates that at least 365 sane people were treated for politically defined madness,although she surmises there were many more.It now appears that the corporate media are taking their cue from the Stalinist dictatorship of the Soviet Union, and in alliance with government guidelines which characterize people with similar political beliefs as dangerous extremists and potential terrorists, are denouncing people who are skeptical of government as thought criminals who should be dismissed as mentally ill cranks.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,(DEMONIC ANGELS IN HIGH PLACES) against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.(SPIRTIUAL DEMONIC PERSONS)
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

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

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

DANIEL 12:4,1
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

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

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

CFR-Associate: Plan for World Government Stalled
Jurriaan Maessen Infowars July 28, 2009

The choir warming to the idea of a one world government was joined recently by CFR-member and presidential professor of political science, Thomas G. Weiss. In his presidential address at the 50th convention of the International Studies Association in mid February of this year, Weiss argued for world government and a world currency out of the current economic crisis. At the same time he discerns an increasing resistance on the part of the people to accept such a world government in any way, shape, or form.Thomas G. Weiss.In his speech titled What Happened to the Idea of World Government, Weiss outright rejects the idea of national sovereignty in favour of overarching central authority to set things straight. He then goes on to lament recent developments in the United States, where it has become less fashionable to speak of world government: a clear sign that the people are gradually beginning to develop an allergy for the new world order and its most vehement proponents: Once a staple of informed debate on international affairs- and as hard as it is to believe, especially in the United States- world government is a term no longer used in polite company, unless as my Graduate Center colleague Rob Jenkins states,it is to dismiss those who advocate the idea as hopelessly naïve, or to demonize those suspected of secretly plotting the creation of a global leviathan.My purpose this evening, Weiss continues,is to trace what happened to the idea of a world government and its replacement by global governance as well as the pluses and minuses of that development.

The rest of his speech is occupied mainly by ideas long promoted by transnational elites: the UN is flawed in its current form and needs to be transformed into a monolithic giant with governing powers given by the member-states to break the spell of inaction. Nation-states will gradually be stripped from their sovereignty as they are morphed into this larger system, answering only to a global central authority. Glumly shaking his head, Weiss comments:When interdependence was less and actors were fewer and states could actually solve or attenuate most international problems, the idea of a world government was not far from the mainstream. Paradoxically, now when states visibly cannot address a growing number of threats from WMDs to climate change, from terrorism to the current financial crisis, world government is unimaginable.Here Weiss brings us good tidings from his transnational headquarters. He acknowledges that the journey towards world government is not going as well as planned, and the sleeping giant is unmistakably showing signs of wakening from his unperturbed slumber. The late Harold Jacobson’s 1984 Networks of Interdependence commented that the march toward a world government was woven into in the tapestries decorating the walls of the Palais des Nations in Geneva- now the UN’s European Office but once the headquarters of the League of Nations. Jake observed that they picture the process of humanity combining into ever larger and more stable units for the purpose of governance- first the family, then the tribe, then the city-state, then the nation- a process which presumably would eventually culminate in the entire world being combined in one political unit.This concept of evolution from the small to the great to which man is supposed to be predestined is in fact a fallacy. It is the reasoning of tyrants, eager to convince an unsuspecting audience. History teaches us that expanding empires either crumble under their own weight, allowing smaller sovereign states to rise from its ruins; or they overstretch- in which case they are overrun by tribal communities demanding the tyrant’s head on a plate. Either way, the evolution of power is a continuous rollercoaster ride through history; it expands and shrinks like the tides upon the seashore. Weiss again buries his head in his hands in a theatrical gesture:Imagine a United States in which a serious conversation about the process depicted in that tapestry were possible. Could there really once have been a sizable group of prominent Americans from every walk of life, including politicians who passed resolutions in 30 of 48 state legislatures, who supported pooling American sovereignty with that of other countries?

Weiss points to prominent idealists of the late 1940s en early 50s, who also desired a world government and advocated it with all means available to them: (…) prominent individuals associated with the world government idea included, at one time or another, Kurt Vonnegut, Walter Cronkite, H.G. Wells, Peter Ustinov, Supreme Court Justices William Douglas and Owen Roberts, Senator Estes Kefauver and Senator and future Vice-President Hubert Humphrey. And the list goes on.In all his musings about the inability of the UN to fulfil its original mission, namely to bring world government into being, the concept of freedom versus tyranny does not enter his mind for a second. Instead he continues hammering on the necessity of global government lest the world starve by the lack of it. Is it really so far-fetched to imagine the global advance of inter-governmental economic agreements along the lines that Europe has nurtured since the Second World War, including a global currency?

The professor breaths a sigh of despair.

It is unsettling to recall how feeble our academic expectations have become in comparison with earlier generations of analysts who did not shy away from elements of world government and robust intergovernmental organizations. At Bretton Woods, for example, John Maynard Keynes proposed a monetary fund with resources equivalent to 50%of world imports.In light of the unprecedented recent power grab by the Federal Reserve, pumping wealth into the very lifeblood of the new world order, Weiss’ attempt at describing world government as an oxygen starved entity, is somewhat premature. But he does have a point: as the general support of Ron Paul’s HR 1207 indicates, even the lemming like congress now has mustered enough support for the bill to move ahead to the Senate, not daring to ignore its constituents. The reason that advocacy for world government has now changed from an outright roar to a passing whisper, is nevertheless encouraging. For now the agenda has hit a snag and every move they make is under scrutiny by an increasingly critical public, watching them intently.In conclusion of his long, wailing lament, Weiss places his hope in the Obama administration to realise the dream of the world’s central bankers and their mission of old:We need a big international vision from the Obama administration. (…) The new president excels in political imagination and his ability to address the need for meaningful change. He should draw on his considerable communications skills to help overcome what can only be described as the appalling public ignorance, including among members of Congress, about why the UN agglomeration works the way that it does.

The appalling public ignorance Weiss is describing is actually a sign that the tide of tyranny is turning in favour of sovereignty worldwide. But with this comes a threat, one so terrifying that it defies understanding. Now that the push for a global feudal system seems to be stalling to the point of paralysis, the danger of a false flag attack or otherwise unprecedented crisis looms ominously on the horizon. Weiss:Will it take a calamity on the scale of World War Two to demonstrate the abject poverty of our current thinking? Weiss asks threateningly.Is such a disaster required to catalyze a transformation of the current feeble system of what many of us now call global governance- the patchwork of formal and informal arrangements among states, international agencies, and public-private partnerships- into something with at least some of the attributes of a world government?

Carbon Trading Giants and Big Energy Are Both Trying to Steer the Global Warming Debate Away from REAL Solutions George Washington Blog Tuesday, July 28, 2009

Goldman Sachs and the other financial giants who brought us the economic meltdown and manipulation of the economy argue that carbon trading will solve all of our problems. If we just let them make out like bandits off of carbon trading, then everything will be fine. Not only is this an awfully convenient for the banksters who conned us into an economic crash, but many environmentalists don’t even buy that carbon trading is the best way to reduce carbon emissions.On the other hand, big oil and king coal argue that keeping the status quo is best for everyone. You know, let the giant energy conglomerates produce all our energy and make out like robber barons. These energy giants buy up and then bury promising alternative energy technologies so that cheap alternatives don’t challenge their monopoly on energy-production.But neither the carbon trading or the energy giants want us to look at real alternatives or solutions . . . like microgeneration.Microgeneration of energy could reduce our bills, decentralize power away from the giant corporations, and help protect our freedom (and see this).

Saving money and protecting freedom are bipartisan goals that everyone can rally around, whether you believe in global warming or not.Microgeneration would also significantly reduce carbon output by substituting wind, solar and other types of clean energy for conventional energy sources, and so it would have a significant impact on reducing CO2 while empowering people at the local level, and reducing our energy bills.So if global warming is, in fact, a threat, a major switch to microgeneration would be a lot more effective than carbon trading.If global warming is not a threat, microgeneration can still help to break the monopoly of big energy, and return power back to the people (and a little money back into our pockets).We all know that the powers-that-be try to divide-and-conquer us so as to make sure we don’t organize for change, to keep us off-balance, and to ram through their agendas. They do this on every important issue.They are going to continue to try to divide us on climate issues as well. We have to empower ourselves, and microgeneration is a good start.To those who say that global warming is such a dire threat that we should geoengineer the earth’s climate, please remember that many cures have ended up being worse than the disease. If we are to act, we must act in a smart way which has a net benefit. Microgeneration is smart.

Britain: Dozens fall victim to side effects of swine flu drug
8:46AM Monday Jul 27, 2009 By Jeremy Laurence

There have been 150 reports of suspected adverse reactions to the Tamiflu treatment for swine flu in Britain.The agency that licenses medicines in Britain has received 150 reports of suspected adverse reactions to the Tamiflu treatment for swine flu. The figure was released yesterday as GPs said some patients were choosing not to take the drug because of concern about the possible side effects.The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said the 150 reports received within the UK up until 23 July mention 241 separate side effects, most of which were mild and already recognised as linked with the anti-viral drug.They include mild allergic and gastrointestinal events, such as diarrhoea and vomiting. There were five reports involving nine suspected adverse reactions to Relenza, the rival drug to Tamiflu which is taken by inhalation and is less widely used.The MHRA has allocated a dedicated section of its website to receive reports of side effects to Tamiflu from doctors and the public, in order to spot any developing trends.A spokesman said: Obviously there are a lot more people taking Tamiflu and Relenza, so we set up a specific site people can go to to report any potential side effects so we can monitor its safety. A report of a reaction does not mean it has been caused by the drug in question n a mere suspicion will suffice. We are very keen to promote this. We want the public to know about it and use it.One case of a suspected fatal reaction involving a patient who suffered liver failure after taking Tamiflu, was later attributed to hepatitis.The MHRA said previous reports from outside the UK had suggested a link between Tamiflu and liver failure but none had shown a causal link.

Hepatic adverse events remain under close monitoring,the spokesman said.A second report of a fatal reaction was being investigated, he said.Doctors said the number of adverse reaction reports was tiny in the context of the tens of thousands of patients who have been prescribed Tamiflu.The Government estimated there were 100,000 new cases of swine flu last week.The commonest side effects of Tamiflu are diarrhoea, nausea, stomach pain and vomiting. Reports from Japan, where Tamiflu has been widely used against seasonal flu, has linked the drug in rare instances with unusual neurological and psychiatric disturbances in children.Doctors yesterday backed the advice of the Government's Chief Medical Officer, Sir Liam Donaldson, that patients with swine flu should be offered anti-viral drugs, but added that it was up to the patients whether they accepted them.Richard Vautrey, a GP in Leeds, said that In my experience, when patients are reassured about the likely pattern of their illness and the possible side effects of the [anti-viral] drugs, they decide they are better off not taking them.Laurence Buckman, chairman of the British Medical Association's GPs committee, said: "Many GPs are aware of patients coming with adverse reactions to Tamiflu, including children. If you have a child with flu and then they get diarrhoea and vomiting and become confused where they weren't before, that upsets the parents and creates more work for the doctor. Where someone doesn't have an obvious need for Tamiflu, because they are healthy and have got swine flu mildly, you have to ask whether it is worth taking in this circumstance.Dr Buckman said there was an urgent need for calm in the face of what one virologist had called the weakest pandemic the world has ever seen.We must not underplay it, but we also must not overplay it as a medieval plague,Dr Buckman said.

Professor Terence Stephenson, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics said paediatricians were concerned that the NHS could be overwhelmed by patients who didn't really need help.If a third of the population get the virus and parents go to A&E with their children we will be inundated. For the vast majority this remains a mild illness. We want to have the resources to deal with children who need our help, he said.Professor Stephen Field, chairman of the Royal College of General Practitioners, said: We have got to try and get the message across that for most fit and healthy people, swine flu won't cause much harm.- INDEPENDENT

Rights group blasts Interior Ministry's biometric ID bill
Monday, 27 July 2009 11:45 News from Jerusalem

The Knesset Science and Technology Committee is due to hold another discussion on Monday about the controversial Inclusion of Biometric Identifying Features in Identity Documents and a Data Bank bill.Committee chairman Meir Sheetrit hopes to approve the bill for second and third readings in time for the final approval by the Knesset plenum before the summer recess, which starts at the end of the week.The bill calls for scrapping the old identity cards and passports and issuing new ones that include digital renderings of biometric features, including two fingerprints and the contours of the face.If an authorized official were to call on a citizen to present an ID, the official would be able to compare it to the information in a data bank containing the biometric details of every citizen and resident of Israel.According to attorney Avner Pinchuk of The Association for Civil Rights in Israel, a permanent data bank constitutes a threat to democracy because it would mean that the government had vital information on every inhabitant of the country, and would pose a serious danger to individual privacy.The social contract is based on the idea that the individual gives up some of his rights to the authority in return for public order, stability and security,Pinchuk told The Jerusalem Post.But he does so with a tight fist and only when it is absolutely necessary.

He provided an example of the threat posed by the biometric data bank, saying that if police took photographs of demonstrators, or if they even found photographs in newspapers, they would be able to identify them by comparing the facial contours from the photos to the information in the data bank.Another problem, according to Pinchuk, is that no one can guarantee that the data bank will not be leaked or broken into. One of the problems this could cause is the stealing of an individual's identity by forging his biometric details - fingerprints, for example.Furthermore, some facial features are so similar that there is a 6-percent possibility of identification error. In cases where the facial features of a suspect are known, the data bank would likely supply several possible names, leading to a situation in which innocent people would be summoned for investigation.Pinchuk added that his organization was not opposed to the introduction of a smart identity card or passport. He agreed with the Interior Ministry and Sheetrit, who was interior minister when the bill was originally drafted, that current identity cards and passports could be and were easily forged.However, he rejected Sheetrit's claim that the data bank was equally as necessary as the smart ID or passport because it would prevent identity theft.Even if it did help, said Pinchuk, the threat to individual liberty far outweighed whatever benefits the data bank offered.Sheetrit told the Post he was prepared to respond to these and other criticisms of the bill, but that it would require an in-depth interview, which he was ready to grant as soon as possible.jpost

Gates to PM: US, Israel see eye-to-eye on Iran nuke threat
Monday, 27 July 2009 15:34 News from Jerusalem

United Staes of America, Israel see eye-to-eye on Iranian nuke threat. Photo AP
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met US Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Monday in Jerusalem, and the two discussed a comprehensive range of bilateral, diplomatic, defense and strategic issues, the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement.A large part of the discussion was devoted to Iran, with Gates saying that the US and Israel saw eye-to-eye on the Iranian nuclear threat, and reiterating that US engagement with Teheran would not be open-ended, said the PMO.Netanyahu stressed Israel's concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions and the need to utilize all available means to prevent Iran from achieving a nuclear weapon, continued the statement.Earlier Monday, Defense Minister Ehud Barak told Gates that Israel had not ruled out any means of dealing with Iran's nuclear threat, and was taking no option off the table.

This is our position. We mean it,Barak added.Speaking alongside Gates at a joint press conference in Jerusalem's King David Hotel, the defense minister's declaration indicated that a military strike by Israel was still a possibility, though Barak also said he hoped diplomacy would succeed, while urging the US to set a short deadline and prepare hard-biting financial sanctions against Iran.Israel remains in its basic position that no options should be removed from the table, even though priority at this stage should be given to diplomacy,he said.At the same time, Barak did not ignore the predicted implications of an Israeli offensive against Teheran. We are not blind, whatever we do can have implications on our neighbors and others, we are trying to take that into account,he said.Gates's visit to Israel was seen in part as an attempt to dissuade Israel from taking military action against Teheran and to buy time for US diplomacy to bear fruit. However, Barak's no-options-off-table comment - repeated three times - may indicate Gates made no visible headway in that goal.

Acknowledging Israel's concerns, Gates said the US administration's attempt to engage Iran diplomatically was not an open-ended offer and that the US was aware Iran might try to run out the clock.Gates said the Obama administration wanted an answer from the Iranians before the UN General Assembly convention, scheduled for the end of September.I think that the president is certainly anticipating or hoping for some kind of response this fall, perhaps by the time of the UN General Assembly,he said.

He said sanctions were a possibility if diplomacy fails, while also mentioning plans for a loosely defined defense umbrella meant to protect US allies in the region.The US was contributing financially and technically to fortifying Israel's missile defense program, Gates added, reiterating a pledge that Israel would maintain its technological advantage over its enemies.We will continue to ensure that Israel has the most advanced weapons for its national defense,he said.jpost

PA's Dahlan: Arafat deceived the world
Monday, 27 July 2009 12:39 News from Jerusalem

Peacemaker or Terrorist Dahlan: Arafat would condemn [terror] operations by day while at night he would do honorable things.Dahlan: Resistance [terror] is our right, a legal right.for Palestinians in the proper place and at the proper time.PA (Fatah) Member of Parliament Muhammad Dahlan has publicly stated that Yasser Arafat was deceiving the world when he condemned Palestinian terror. Dahlan made these comments after defending the Palestinian Authority's right to use terror, and citing Arafat's behavior as an example:Arafat would condemn [terror] operations by day while at night he would do honorable things.Dahlan said this in the context of defending the use of Palestinian terror, which he called a legal right. He advocated that this legal right be implemented carefully in the proper place and at the proper time,and only by the leadership of the PA.It is interesting to note that the forces that will be available to fight Israel, if and when the PA leadership decides the timing is right, are the soldiers being trained by US Lt. Gen. Dayton.The strategy of engaging in a diplomatic process while continuing to embrace violence or planning to use it in the future is a common theme expressed by PA leaders.Abbas himself told the Jordanian newspaper Al-Dustur last year that the PA was not involved in terror operations because it was unable,but added that in the future stages, things may be different.

Now we are against armed conflict because we are unable. In the future stages, things may be different. I was honored to be the one to shoot the first bullet in 1965 [Fatah terror against Israel began in 1965], and having taught resistance to many in this area and around the world, defining it and when it is beneficial and when it is not... we had the honor of leading the resistance. We taught everyone what resistance is, including the Hezbollah, who were trained in our camps [i.e. PLO camps in the 60s].[Al-Dustur, Jordan, Feb. 28, 2008]Neither Arafat nor PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas ever condemned terror because it is wrong, but only because it is ineffective or because it damages Palestinian interests.

Following is the transcript of the interview with Dahlan:

Muhammad Dahlan, senior Fatah MP: Israel, we have to set a logical time limit of two years, in my opinion. The political plan guarantees the continuation of our national struggle in all its forms, in a way that will fulfill our national aspirations within this period of time.PA TV Host: If so, the [violent] resistance and struggle continue.Muhammad Dahlan: This is our right, a legal right. The international community affirms it for us. But it is the responsibility of the leadership to use it when it wants, in the proper place and at the proper time. We cannot leave it in the hands of youth who use their own judgment. This is the difference between [PA] using this right and just anyone using it. I lived with Chairman Yasser Arafat for years. Arafat would condemn [terror] operations by day while at night he would do honorable things. I don't want to say any more about this.[PA TV (Fatah), July 22, 2009]

Israel prepares defense brief ahead of UN Gaza reports
Monday, 27 July 2009 07:07 News from Jerusalem

Mandate of the UN probe is one-sided against Israel
A group of legal experts from the Foreign Ministry is writing a defense brief for the government in advance of two harsh reports on Operation Cast Lead expected to be released soon.The ministry's defense brief is expected to be finished in a week or two, ahead of two United Nations reports that are expected to be highly critical of the extent of civilian injuries in the Gaza Strip during the operation.A draft of the two reports is expected to be given to Israel around the end of August, before they are officially presented to the Human Rights Council in mid-September. Sources in Israel believe that the release of the UN reports could lead to legal action against Israel in one of the two international courts in The Hague.The first of the two reports, considered the harshest critique since the war, is being compiled by an investigative committee chaired by Judge Richard Goldstone, appointed by the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.The second report is under preparation by the UN Commission on Human Rights.Legal experts in the Foreign Ministry told the special ministerial committee following suits against Israeli public figures abroad and various reports on Operation Cast Lead that they believe the release of the two UN reports could lead to legal proceedings against Israel or individual Israeli public figures in the International Court of Justice or the International Criminal Court in The Hague.A government source in Jerusalem said the Foreign Ministry's legal department has been at work on the document, which will contain the Israeli narrative of the operation, together with the international department of the Justice Ministry and members of the international law department of the Military Advocate General. The work is proceeding discretely due to the sensitivity of the subject.

The source said the document would be extensive and include the "whole story" from the Israeli perspective: the reasons for the operation, the security situation in the south after disengagement, the phases of the operation, the government's decisions and the orders given to the army. The document will also include legal aspects and legal opinions on the actions taken by the forces and details of the various actions taken.The road to international courts is very short from the point we are at right now,the government source said.The Goldstone report, with which Israel is not cooperating, is expected to be the harsher of the two.Israel argues that the mandate of the UN probe is one-sided against Israel, and therefore any cooperation by Israel would legitimize its conclusions and recommendations.The hearings the committee held last month in Geneva became a platform for accusations against Israel of "war crimes" in the Gaza Strip. Most of the witnesses were Palestinians; however, Noam Shalit, the father of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, was among the few Israelis who testified and who were reportedly treated disparagingly.Israel has cooperated with the second report, that of the Commission on Human Rights. Last week the Foreign Ministry deputy director for international organizations, Eviatar Manor, met with the Human Rights Commissioner in Geneva and told her the report had no basis in reality and that it was written by Arab UN personnel based on Palestinian newspaper reports.haaretz

Belgium seeks to close crises ahead of EU spell
Published: Monday 27 July 2009

Perhaps learning from the Czech Republic's experience, Belgian Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy says he will strive to solve the country's internal tensions by mid-2010 in order to avoid potential problems during the country's EU presidency in the second half of the year.Speaking on national radio on Saturday (25 July), Van Rompuy said he was optimistic about ongoing constitutional reform in Belgium. The reform will be completed by March or June 2010 at the latest, he further indicated, just before Belgium assumes the EU's six-month rotating presidency on 1 July.During the [EU] presidency, we cannot take the risk of a political crisis,Van Rompuy stressed. The Flemish Christian Democrat, who succeeded Yves Leterme as prime minister in December last year, said he expected his term to end in 2011, adding that he was looking forward to working hand in hand with Leterme, who was recently appointed foreign minister.My duty, my mission, as I see it, ends in 2011,Van Rompuy said.Leterme took office when Karel de Gucht left the foreign ministry to take Louis Michel's seat as EU development commissioner, after the latter was recently elected to the European Parliament (EurActiv 08/07/09).

State reform negotiations to be relaunched

Since he took over as prime minister in December last year, little progress has been made in difficult negotiations between Flanders and Wallonia, the country's two main regional entities, which have clashed over language issues.In Flanders, the Dutch-speaking side of the country - whose politicians are pushing for greater autonomy - the tone is more moderate than in 2007, Van Rompuy said.The prime minister was alluding to the 2007 federal elections, which saw the Flemish Christian Democrats (CD&V) and the nationalistic N-VA party (New Flemish Alliance) become the country's most represented. Both parties campaigned for far-reaching reform of the Belgian state but this led to instability, which lasted until Van Rompuy took over in December 2008.On the Walloon side, Van Rompuy saw better political will to comprehensively reform the state, which most political observers say will eventually need to be done.I think we can take a step, and a rather important step, in the reform of the state under this legislature. This would however happen in a phased manner,the prime minister said.

Turkey closes diplomatic row

In the meantime, a diplomatic row opposing Belgium and Turkey appears to have ended after Ankara recalled its ambassador.Fual Tanlay, Turkey's ambassador in Belgium, recently said the Belgians ought to experience a terrorist attack in order to better understand the threat of terrorism.God willing, this will happen to them one day. Then they would understand what terrorism means,Tanlay told the Turkish daily Hürriyet. The ambassador was reacting to a decision by the Belgian court of appeal regarding extreme-left group DHKP-C, which he found unsatisfactory.According to press reports quoted by EurActiv Turkey, the country's foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu has now recalled Tanlay, who has lost his rank of ambassador and will serve as a counsellor in the ministry of foreign affairs. Murat Ersavci, until now Turkey's envoy to Australia, is due to replace him, according to press reports.

US Senator Slams Washington Post Defense Of Fed Secrecy Sanders: Absolute power corrupts absolutely Steve Watson Infowars.net Tuesday, July 28, 2009

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), sponsor of S 604, the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act of 2009, has slammed a recent Washington Post editorial that contends the Federal Reserve should not be subject to a general audit.Sanders vented his opinions in a letter to the editor which was published in the Post today.We must not equate independence with secrecy.Sanders writes in response to the Post’s Friday editorial entitled Focus on the Fed which attacked his own and Congressman Ron Paul’s efforts to enact the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, a move that would allow the American people to find out for the first time where trillions in taxpayer funded bailout dollars have been used.No matter how intelligent or well-intentioned the Fed chairman and his staff may be, it isn’t appropriate to give a handful of people the power to lend an unlimited supply of money to anyone it wants without sufficient oversight. Sanders writes.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The American people have a right to know what is being done with their hard-earned taxpayer dollars. This money does not belong to the Fed; it belongs to the American people.Sanders urges.The Washington Post’s editorial angered many readers late last week by essentially advocating the continuation of non-accountability in government.Though the bill has attracted 276 co-sponsors in the House and 17 in the Senate, it is wrongheaded in the extreme.the Post’s anonymously written piece stated.By opening up the Fed’s most sensitive interest rate and credit policies to public second-guessing, the bill would create a risk — real and perceived — of monetary policy bent to suit congressional overseers. This would destroy financial markets’ faith in the Fed and, by extension, the value of the U.S. dollar, just as surely as a political audit of the Supreme Court’s deliberations would undercut public faith in the justice system.the piece claimed.This article makes comparisons that are utterly dissimilar.Libertymage writer Robin Grammer succinctly points out.Not only does our justice system make available verdicts and vote counts the same day that the court votes on the issue, they also make public the dissenting parties with the articulated minority opinion. This is a a world of difference from the transparency policy of the Federal Reserve, who graciously offers us meeting transcripts five years after the meetings occur. The transparency policies of these two groups are in no way similar and making such a comparison is disingenuous at best.he concludes.Furthermore, as Ron Paul himself explained during the Financial Services Committee hearings last week, the bill would do nothing to further politicize the Fed’s decision making given that the Fed is already overtly politicized anyway.Just the fact that they can issue a lot of loans and special privileges to banks and corporations, that’s political. This idea that it would be political because we know what happened afterwards just doesn’t seem to add up.Paul beseeched.The bill would not give anyone in Congress or elsewhere the authority to sit in on Fed hearings, thus it would have no impact monetary policy. All it would do is provide answers to the American people as to where their hard earned money is being spent.

The Federal Transparency Act would also expose the fact that it is the Federal Reserve that is responsible for the artificial inflation of the debt bubble and the issuing of credit out of thin air, the driving force behind the financial crises.The Truth is that the Washington establishment knows that an audit would set the stage for a return of honest money and fiscal policies, in which the privately run Federal Reserve can play no role.It comes as little surprise therefore to see the establishment media in Washington advocating a continuation of unaccountability and blanket secrecy.

Dollar Trades Near 2009 Low as Economy Reduces Refuge Demand
By Oliver Biggadike and Matthew Brown

July 27 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar traded near the lowest level this year against the currencies of six major U.S. trading partners on speculation the global economy is shaking off the worst recession since World War II, sapping safety demand. The U.S. currency touched a seven-week low versus the euro after a report showed sales of new homes rose last month the most in eight years. The yen fell against all of its major counterparts as analysts raised their profit estimates for U.S. companies for the first time in two years, encouraging Japanese investors to seek higher yields overseas.The dollar will underperform versus the majors, said Brian Kim, a strategist in Stamford, Connecticut, at UBS AG, the world’s second-biggest currency trader.The real-money guys are keeping the trend going, so until we get a shock it doesn’t seem we’re going to stop this grind higher in risk appetite. The Dollar Index, which the ICE uses to track the greenback against currencies including the euro, yen, pound and Swedish krona, was little changed at 78.729 at 12:44 p.m. in New York. It reached 78.334 on June 2, the lowest level since falling to 77.688 on Dec. 18. The dollar slid 0.1 percent to $1.4220 per euro and earlier touched $1.4298, the weakest since June 3.The dollar pared declines as stocks fell. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index dropped as much as 0.7 percent after touching an eight-month high. The krona gained 0.9 percent to 7.4223 after earlier rallying as much as 1.9 percent.Short-term moves in equities create a lot of short-term back-and-forth in the major currencies, said Vassili Serebriakov, a strategist at Wells Fargo & Co. in New York. The market remains jittery and subject to sharp reversals.

U.S. Housing

The yen fell to the lowest level in almost three weeks against the dollar after the Commerce Department said new-home sales in the U.S. increased 11 percent last month to a 384,000 annual rate. The expansion exceeded economist’s predictions for a 3 percent gain and added to evidence the deepest housing slump since the Great Depression is starting to stabilize.It’s only in the last few weeks that I’ve become comfortable with the idea that the housing part of the economy is starting to turn, said James Shugg, an economist at Westpac Banking Corp. in London. He said the housing market is heading toward cautious growth,with the firm forecasting the U.S. economy will expand 0.5 percent next year.The yen declined 0.7 percent to 135.51 per euro, from 134.63 on July 24. The dollar bought 95.32 yen, 0.6 percent more than its previous level of 94.79, after touching 95.38, the highest level since July 7.

Company Outlooks

Wall Street firms raised profit forecasts on S&P 500 companies 896 times in June and lowered 886, according to data compiled by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The last time analysts were bullish on a net basis was in April 2007.The euro rose earlier against the greenback as GfK AG’s index of German consumer confidence beat economists’ forecasts. The gauge for August, based on a survey of about 2,000 people, increased to 3.5, a 14-month high, from a revised 3 for July, the Nuremberg-based market-research company said in a statement today. The median forecast of 12 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News was for a reading of 2.9. Asian currencies gained as the MSCI World Index of stocks added 0.2 percent, its 11th day of gains. The Dow Jones Stoxx 600 Index of European shares advanced 0.5 percent.Australia’s dollar jumped to 78.60 yen, the highest level since June 15, from 77.46 yen last week. The South Korean won rose 0.4 percent to 1,244.05 per dollar. Indonesia’s rupiah climbed 0.3 percent to 9,960.

Carry Trades

The yen and the dollar also fell on speculation that declines in currency volatility boosted demand for carry trades.Implied volatility on options for major exchange rates fell to 13 percent today, the lowest level since Sept. 26, as measured by a JPMorgan Chase & Co. index. Lower volatility indicates diminished risk of currency fluctuations that may erode profit on carry trades.With market sentiment so positive and foreign-exchange volatility falling to levels not seen since last September, the carry trade is back in vogue,analysts led by Marc Chandler, New York-based global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., wrote in a research note today.In carry trades, investors borrow at a low rate in one country and invest in another nation with higher returns. Benchmark interest rates are 3 percent in Australia, 2 percent in South Korea and 6.75 percent in Indonesia, compared with 0.1 percent in Japan and as low as zero in the U.S.Norway’s krone rose for a third day against the euro, advancing 0.5 percent to 8.8263 as crude oil touched a three- week high. It advanced 0.7 percent to 6.1991 against the dollar in one of the best performances among the 16 most-traded currencies tracked by Bloomberg.Buying kroner versus euros will return more in the next year than all 48 other foreign-exchange trades tracked by global investment banks, according to median predictions in Bloomberg analyst surveys. Norway’s currency will rise 9 percent by June to 8.2 per euro, from 8.8680 on July 24, the median of 19 forecasts shows.To contact the reporters on this story: Oliver Biggadike in New York at obiggadike@bloomberg.net; Matthew Brown in London at mbrown42@bloomberg.net

EU mulls climate billions for developing countries
Published: Monday 27 July 2009

A draft report, discussed by EU environment ministers at an informal meeting on Saturday (25 July), calls for the immediate mobilisation of $1-2 billion to fund climate adaption in low-income, vulnerable countries.The EU hopes that the release of the money between now and 2012 will be seen as a trust-building measure by developing countries in order to seal the deal on a new international climate treaty in Copenhagen in December.The draft document is a joint effort by the European Commission and the Swedish EU Presidency. It was originally supposed to be published before last week's meeting of environment ministers, but was delayed and will instead be finalised in the coming weeks.The presidency report comes in response to the Swedish Commission on Climate Change and Development, which reported its findings in May.In addition to earmarking short-term funds, the draft report urges OECD countries to fulfil an existing commitment to provide 0.7% of gross national income as official development aid (ODA). Such an increase from the current 0.3% would effectively raise the yearly funding to poor countries from $180 to $280 billion by 2015, it notes.The report suggests that adaptation would be funded by ODA in the short term, and draw from a mixture of development aid and additional sources in the longer term.

NGOs were quick to point out that industrialised countries had already committed to reaching the 0.7% in order to reach the Millennium Development Targets for poverty reduction. But the EU was now effectively suggesting that the funds would need to be stretched in order to meet climate goals at the same time, they claimed.Oxfam International's climate change policy advisor Tim Gore argued that climate funding should come on top of existing overseas aid commitments, rather than from the existing $180 billion of ODA flows.

Air behind the numbers

The debate around additionality of climate funding is only just taking off in the EU and will likely spark controversy both between countries and within governments. In Germany, for example, an internal power struggle appears to be taking place over the governance of future climate funds, which the development ministry would like to control under its own budget. Last month, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown proposed a $100 billion annual climate fund by 2020, capping the share of development aid at 10% of this total (EurActiv 29/06/09). The Netherlands and Denmark are supporting the idea that climate funding should come on top of the 0.7%, while many other governments are still debating their position.Moreover, draft papers indicate that the Commission is preparing to take on the problem of double-counting offset credits earned from financing emissions cuts in developing countries.

Environmentalists point out that as these count towards developed country targets, they should not count towards financing reductions that must take place in developing countries too.Those are the two areas where scrutiny is going to be necessary to check that the numbers which are coming out in the debate are really what they claim to be,Oxfam's Gore emphasised.Positions:Sweden's Environment Minister Andreas Carlgren said the EU would work to bridge the gap between science and the offers on the table. EU countries will use all our contacts in order to work together to increase the possibilities of reaching an ambitious climate change agreement with sufficient global emissions reductions and financing. We need clear reductions in emissions, both from industrialised countries and rapidly growing economies,he said.

Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said: There is a significant short-term need to help developing countries with strategies for development with reduced emissions, and measures for adaptation to a changing climate.Next steps:

20 Oct.: Economic and Financial Affairs Council.
21 Oct.: Environment Council.

EU supports more anti-terror data sharing with US EU nations support expanded anti-terror bank data sharing deal with US By Constant Brand, Associated Press Writer
On Monday July 27, 2009, 11:26 am EDT

BRUSSELS (AP) -- European Union nations on Monday unanimously supported expanding the bloc's anti-terror cooperation with the United States to stop the transfer of funds supporting terror groups.EU Justice and Home Affairs Commissioner Jacques Barrot said the 27-nation bloc wants to give anti-terror investigators at the U.S. Treasury access to European operation centers run by the bank transfer consortium SWIFT, expanding an existing 2007 anti-terror banking data sharing deal with Washington. To do so, it needs to negotiate under what conditions U.S. officials would have expanded access to such sensitive banking information.The consortium set up by member banks, is responsible for the collection and relay of more than 14 million financial transactions daily between banks and other financial institutions worldwide. It operates one of the largest financial transfer systems in the world.U.S. and EU authorities claim that access to the data has helped stop the transfer of money around the globe that funds terror groups and track down wanted terror suspects.

Barrot hopes to reach an initial temporary accord with American authorities giving them access to SWIFT's European data banks, which could serve as the basis for a longer lasting pact in coming months.The U.S. Treasury already has access to SWIFT's American database, but the banking consortium is setting up a new European office in Switzerland, which would focus on European clients. American investigators now want access to this new database as well.SWIFT's other two database centers, in the U.S. state of Virginia and in the Netherlands, handle all the consortium's transfer orders, including those of European citizens.It would be extremely dangerous at this stage to stop the surveillance and the monitoring of information flows, Barrot said, adding that the current pact, which only covers U.S. operations of SWIFT have been an important and effective tool to fight terrorism financing and to prevent terrorist attacks.SWIFT was forced under a court subpoena after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks to give the U.S. Treasury access to its American operations under a secret deal, allowing investigators to go through private financial data held by European citizens.That arrangement was amended in 2007 after the EU, under pressure from European data protection authorities at home, said it violated European privacy laws because it did not give enough guarantees that the data collected on European citizens were properly protected.Barrot said Monday any new deal will extend data rights and privacy protections once the U.S. gets access to SWIFT's new Swiss operations. The EU's foreign ministers endorsed his plans to negotiate a new agreement on Monday.However, the existing deal has been met with heavy criticism by privacy groups and EU lawmakers who claim it erodes the rights of Europeans.SWIFT uses its two hubs to transfer banking transactions. With the new Swiss center, which opens at the end of the year, it will avoid having to store such information in the United States.U.S. authorities have given the EU assurances the information it collects from the databases is properly protected and used only in anti-terror probes.

EU Monitoring Mission In Georgia Extended For Another Year
JULY 27,09

(RTTNews) - The European Union (EU) foreign ministers meeting agreed to extend for one year the EU ceasefire monitoring mission in Georgia, imposed last year to promote peace and stability after Georgia's brief war with Russia.The 27-member bloc has decided to extend the mandate of the EU Monitoring Mission in Georgia (EUMM) for another 12 months until September 14, 2010,said a joint statement issued after a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday. In a move that could provoke Russia, the meeting decided that observers from non-EU states such as the United States and Turkey could join EUMM.It called on all parties to fully comply with their commitments, including the withdrawal of all military forces to the positions held prior to the outbreak of hostilities.The meeting, which expressed concern over Russia blocking other observers from working there, demanded that the observers, along with with 300-strong security personnel be granted unhindered access... to Abkhazia and South Ossetia.The EU monitors carry out regular patrols along the de facto borders with Abkhazia and South Ossetia as part of the ceasefire deal brokered by the EU after the August war, but they do not have a mandate to enter the breakaway Georgian regions.Russia recognized the Georgian breakaway regions of South Ossretia and Abkhazia as independent states after a brief war in August last year, in which Russia gave a humiliating blow to Georgia.The ministers failed to agree on renewing the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) monitoring mission for Georgia, and a United Nations operation.For comments and feedback: contact editorial@rttnews.com

France stymies call to expand EU mission in Georgia
ANDREW RETTMAN Today JULY 28,09 @ 09:04 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - France has spoken out against proposals to add US or Turkish personnel to the EU Monitoring Mission in Georgia (EUMM).The move could be a provocation toward further incidents as Georgia heads towards the one year anniversary of the war, French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner said at an EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels on Monday (27 July).I believe this is not the right time to pose the question.Italy, Cyprus and Belgium also voiced opposition to third party deployment. And the Swedish EU presidency ruled out any formal debate on the subject until autumn.A large majority of member states are of the view that we should maintain this as an EU operation,one EU diplomat said. The UK, Finland, Lithuania and Estonia are continuing to campaign for outside intervention, however. Poland also supports EUMM expansion. I think it would probably be very welcome if the US and the EU worked together to ensure stability in Georgia,Lithuanian foreign minister Vygaudas Usackas told EUobserver.Georgia last week publicly floated proposals to expand the EU mission following the departure of UN and OSCE monitors from the region.But the EU and the US say they have not received any formal Georgian requests so far.The US is mistrusted by Georgian rebel leaders in Abkhazia and South Ossetia after Russian accusations that it supplied arms to Georgia and incited its attack on South Ossetia last August.

Russia could interpret US involvement in the observation mission as military aid to Georgia and reject the idea, even if the de facto [rebel] authorities are not against it,Medea Turashvili, a Tbilisi-based analyst for the International Crisis Group, told this website.The EU ministers on Monday extended the mandate of the existing EUMM until 14 September 2010 and called for monitors to have access to rebel-held zones. The EU also postponed from 31 July until 30 September the deadline for a Swiss-led enquiry into the origins of the conflict.

Canada urges EU rethink on seal products ban Sun Jul 26, 5:41 pm ET

OTTAWA (AFP) – Canada appealed to the European Union (EU) on Sunday to reconsider the adoption of a ban on the sale of seal products, and warned it would consider bringing the issue with the World Trade Organization.We are calling on the European Union to reconsider the proposed seal products trade ban, said a statement from International Trade Minister Stockwell Day and Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Gail Shea.Canada has clearly lived up to its obligations, and our position remains that any ban on a humanely conducted hunt such as Canada's is completely without cause, the statement said.The European Parliament in May voted to endorse an EU ban on seal products in protest against commercial hunting methods, but it will only become law once it is adopted by the Council of the European Union.The statement Sunday said the Council could take up the proposed ban as early as this Monday. If approved, it would come into force by 2010's seal hunting season.Ottawa argues that the ban should not target its seal products because it imposes regulations ensuring humane hunting inside its borders.Should the EU choose to adopt a seal products trade ban that does not contain an acceptable derogation for humanely harvested seal products, Canada will defend its rights and interests under the relevant World Trade Organization agreements,the statement said.

Around 6,000 Canadians take part in seal hunting each year along the Atlantic coast.

The Canadian government authorizes the slaughter of 338,000 seals per season, and says the survival of the species is not in danger. The popularity of seal hunting has dropped along with a decline in demand for seal products.However, seal hunting is a particular feature of Inuit communities in the country, and the ministers' statement Sunday made reference to the ban's impact on that population.We are particularly concerned that no one in the European Union has listened to the Inuit on this matter. This misinformed and ill-considered regulation will strike at some of Canada's most vulnerable communities,the statement said.

AP IMPACT: Dodd, Conrad told deals were sweetened By LARRY MARGASAK, Associated Press Writer – JULY 27,09

WASHINGTON – Despite their denials, influential Democratic Sens. Kent Conrad and Chris Dodd were told from the start they were getting VIP mortgage discounts from one of the nation's largest lenders, the official who handled their loans has told Congress in secret testimony.Both senators have said that at the time the mortgages were being written they didn't know they were getting unique deals from Countrywide Financial Corp., the company that went on to lose billions of dollars on home loans to credit-strapped borrowers. Dodd still maintains he got no preferential treatment.

Dodd got two Countrywide mortgages in 2003, refinancing his home in Connecticut and another residence in Washington. Conrad's two Countrywide mortgages in 2004 were for a beach house in Delaware and an eight-unit apartment building in Bismarck in his home state of North Dakota.Robert Feinberg, who worked in Countrywide's VIP section, told congressional investigators last month that the two senators were made aware that who you know is basically how you're coming in here.You don't say no to the VIP, Feinberg told Republican investigators for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, according to a transcript obtained by The Associated Press.The next day, Feinberg testified before the Senate Ethics Committee, an indication the panel is actively investigating two of the chamber's more powerful members:Dodd heads the Banking Committee and is a major player in two big areas: solving the housing foreclosure and financial crises and putting together an overhaul of the U.S. health care system. A five-term senator, he is in a tough fight for re-election in 2010, partly because of the controversy over his mortgages.Conrad chairs the Budget Committee. He, too, shares an important role in the health care debate, as well as on legislation to curb global warming.Both senators were VIP borrowers in the program known as friends of Angelo.Angelo Mozilo was chief executive of Countrywide, which played a big part in the foreclosure crisis triggered by defaults on subprime loans. The Calabasas, Calif.-based company was bought last July by Bank of America Corp. for about $2.5 billion.Mozilo has been charged with civil fraud and illegal insider trading by the Securities and Exchange Commission. He denies any wrongdoing.Asked by a House Oversight investigator if Conrad, the North Dakota senator, was aware that he was getting preferential treatment? Feinberg answered: Yes, he was aware.

Referring to Dodd, the investigator asked:And do you know if during the course of your communications with the senator or his wife that you ever had an opportunity to share with them if they were getting special VIP treatment? Yes, yes, Feinberg replied.Bryan DeAngelis, Dodd's spokesman, said Feinberg has repeatedly made allegations of special treatment that were not true.As the Dodds have said from the beginning, they did not seek or expect any special rates or terms on their loans and they never received any. They were never offered special or sweetheart deals and if anyone had made such an offer, they would have severed that relationship immediately.

DeAngelis also repeated Dodd's statements from last February that an independent report showed the terms received by the senator and his wife were widely available at the time.Conrad's spokesman, Chris Gaddie, said Monday that the senator never asked for, expected or was aware of loans on any preferential terms and has worked overtime to set the record straight.He went with Countrywide simply because they already had his financial information,Gaddie said. He added that a Countrywide official had told Conrad that it is not unusual for them to make exceptions for good customers if they could sell the loan in the secondary market. We now know that they did sell the apartment building loan in the secondary market.The ethics committee determines whether senators violated standards of conduct. The outcome of the investigation could hinge on whether the mortgage violated strict limits on gifts to lawmakers or ran afoul of other Senate rules. The committee typically just issues a report. It could recommend a censure vote by the Senate, but that is rare. Feinberg could face criminal prosecution if shown to have made false statements. He was questioned closely by three of the ethics committee's six senators: Democratic Chairman Barbara Boxer of California; the panel's senior Republican, Johnny Isakson of Georgia, and Republican Jim Risch of Idaho, according to Elana Goldstein, one of Feinberg's attorneys who accompanied him to both closed-door committee appearances. The ethics questioning was intense at times, and Boxer asked the bulk of the questions, Goldstein said. When Feinberg described a conversation he had with Dodd, Boxer demanded to know how he remembered it. Feinberg said he recalled Dodd saying he had to leave to make a speech.Boxer asked whether Dodd and Conrad received VIP treatment because they were senators. Feinberg said that was not the case; they received breaks as other influential people in Countrywide's friends of Angelo VIP program. Isakson, a one-time real estate executive, asked more detailed questions about the mortgage agreements' terms. Countrywide VIPs, Feinberg told the committees, received discounts on rates, fees and points. Dodd received a break when Countrywide counted both his Connecticut and Washington homes as primary owner-occupied residences — a fiction, according to Feinberg. Conrad received a type of commercial loan that he was told Countrywide didn't offer.The simple fact that Angelo Mozilo and other high-ranking executives at Countrywide were personally making sure Mr. Feinberg handled their loans right, is proof in itself that the senators knew they were getting sweetheart deals,said Feinberg's principal attorney, Anthony Salerno. Two internal Countrywide documents in Dodd's case and one in Conrad's appear to contradict their statements about what they knew about their VIP loans. At his Feb. 2 news conference, Dodd said he knew he was in a VIP program but insisted he was told by Countrywide, It was nothing more than enhanced customer service ... being able to get a person on the phone instead of an automated operator.He insisted he didn't receive special treatment. However, the assertion was at odds with two Countrywide documents entitled Loan Policy Analysis that Dodd allowed reporters to review the same day.

The documents had separate columns: one showing points actl chrgd Dodd — zero; and a second column showing policy was to charge .250 points on one loan and .375 points on the other. Another heading on the documents said reasons for override.A notation under that heading identified a Countrywide section that approved the policy change for Dodd. Mortgage points, sometimes called loan origination fees, are upfront fees based on a percentage of the loan. Each point is equal to 1 percent of the loan. The higher the points the lower the interest rate.Dodd said he obtained the Countrywide documents in 2008, to learn details of his mortgages.In Conrad's case, an e-mail from Feinberg to Mozilo indicates Feinberg informed Conrad that Countrywide had a residential loan limit of a four-unit building. Conrad sought to finance an eight-unit apartment building in Bismarck that he had bought from his brothers. I did advise him I would check with you first since our maximum is 4 units,Feinberg said in an April 23, 2004, internal e-mail to Mozilo.Mozilo responded the same day that Feinberg should speak to another Countrywide executive and see if he can make an exception due to the fact that the borrower is a senator.Feinberg said in his deposition with House Oversight investigators last month that exceptions for the type of loan Conrad received were not allowed for borrowers outside the VIP system. If there was a regular customer calling, and of course you say, No, we're a residential lender. We cannot provide you with that service,Feinberg said. Feinberg also told House investigators that Countrywide counted both of Dodd's homes as primary residences.He was allowed to do both of those as owner-occupied, which is not allowed. You can only have one owner-occupied property. You can't live in two properties at the same time, he said.Normally, Feinberg said, a second home could require more equity and could have a higher mortgage rate.Rep. Darrell Issa of California, the senior Republican on the House Oversight Committee, had his investigators question Feinberg as part of a broader investigation into Countrywide's VIP program.Other names that have surfaced as friends of Mozilo include James Johnson, a former head of Fannie Mae who later stepped down as an adviser to Barack Obama's presidential campaign, and Franklin Raines, who also headed Fannie Mae. Still other friends included retired athletes, a judge, a congressional aide and a newspaper executive.Conrad initially said in June 2008, If they did me a favor, they did it without my knowledge and without my requesting it.The next day, Conrad changed course after reviewing documents showing he got special treatment, and said he was donating $10,500 to charity and refinancing the loan on the apartment building with another lender. He also said then it appeared Countrywide had waived 1 point at closing on the beach house.Gaddie said Feinberg has previously made statements to the news media that Countrywide waived 1 point without the senator's knowledge.Feinberg testified that VIPs usually were not told exactly how many points were being waived, but it was made clear to them that they were getting discounts.

A carbon protection racket By Steven Stoft and Daniel Kirshner – Mon Jul 27, 5:00 am ET

Berkeley, Calif. – If your neighbors were making a terrible racket, would you offer to pay them to stop? Of course not.Sure, they'll stop today. But they'll soon be clamoring for more payments. One of the major features of the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill – the ambitious climate change legislation recently passed by the House – offers just such payments. It pays polluting countries not to pollute. And, as with the noisy neighbor, this will just encourage a continuing racket.Here's the story: India has offered to cap its greenhouse-gas emissions – but only at a level 10 times higher than its own emission rate. China will not accept a cap at all, and at the Major Economies Forum on July 9, China and India even blocked setting a target for world emissions in 2050. This trend confirms that other developing countries will also stick with their anti-cap positions, leaving half the world's emissions unchecked and growing far faster than emissions from the industrialized nations.The Waxman-Markey bill was supposed to remedy this problem by providing US leadership, which poor nations would follow by accepting caps. But this hope ignored the inequities of caps and ignored the bill's offer of an estimated $13 billion a year – growing to $83 billion annually in 2050 – to buy international offset credits from developing countries. Such offset purchases encourage poor countries not to accept caps. Global cooperation requires a reversal in US climate policy toward developing countries. We must reward cooperation rather than the lack of it.Buying offset credits pays emitters in developing countries to emit less than they would have emitted.But implementing a cap cuts back on what they would have emitted, and reduces their profits from selling offsets.

The House bill did not create this offset problem. The European Union's cap-and-trade scheme has long allowed European companies to buy UN-certified offset credits instead of cutting their own emissions. As Stanford researchers Michael W. Wara and David G. Victor found over a year ago, Europe's offset purchases have not drawn developing countries into substantial limits on emissions, but have, by contrast, rewarded them for avoiding exactly those commitments.As a result of this perverse incentive, Europe's cap-and-trade market is considering rules to ban the purchase of UN offset credits from major developing countries.One of the offset schemes that Europe might ban involves a type of chemical plant found, among other places, in China. While dumping a notorious greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, the plant's owners suggest to the UN that the plant could incinerate the gas instead – if the owners were allowed to sell offsets. The particular gas emitted is 11,700 times worse than carbon dioxide, so naturally the UN agrees that the owners can sell 11,700 tons of emission offsets for every ton of gas incinerated. With offsets worth about $15 a ton, the profits have been enormous.By purchasing such offsets, Europe pays poor countries not to harm the climate, and the House bill would do the same. Most markets, however, pay for goods, not for stopping bads.In the private sector, we call a market for not doing harm a protection racket.By offering to pay protection money – by buying offset credits – we invite the protection-racket way of thinking into the realm of international negotiations.For example, if China had committed to even a weak cap or carbon tax, it would have curbed its horrendous chemical-plant emissions. But instead, the Chinese and others have allowed these emissions to continue and have offered to protect the world from them – for a price.There's nothing wrong with contributing funds to fight climate change in poor countries. They have done little to harm the climate. But our contributions should reward those who commit to join us in the fight. Although China and India are not likely to reconsider caps, there is still hope for a policy that rewards cooperation. Top economists, from N. Gregory Mankiw on the right to Joseph E. Stiglitz on the left, have long recommended a carbon tax as far better than a cap.

Poor countries reject effective caps because they limit their per-person emissions to far less than our own. But carbon taxes lack this offensive inequality. So China, India, and others might well commit to taxing carbon, especially if given some assistance for doing so.With half the world rejecting caps, we must change course. First, remove the foreign offsets from the Waxman-Markey bill. They cost us dearly and only work against us. Then, devise a policy to reward those who commit to join us. Offering to be the mark for a global protection racket is no way to lead the world toward climate stability.Steven Stoft is an economist and author of Carbonomics: How to Fix the Climate and Charge It to OPEC and Power System Economics.

Seals and visas threaten EU-Canada rift
LUCIA KUBOSOVA Today JULY 28,09 @ 09:27 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Canada's decision to impose visas on Czech citizens and the EU's decision to ban seal products are emerging as major irritants in bilateral relations.Both issues came up at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday (27 July), the first high level event under the Swedish EU presidency.The Czech Republic used the opportunity to complain against Ottawa's unilateral re-imposition of visa requirements due to a surge in Czech asylum applications. The move, in mid-July, comes after two years of visa-free travel. For us, this is not an issue between the Czech Republic and Canada but between the EU and Canada, Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt commented after the EU meeting.Mr Bildt called the Canadian decision sad and said it has caused deep concern in the bloc. But he ruled out any EU reaction before the European Commission in September puts forward a legal analysis of the situation.The commission will assess Prague's call on fellow member states to show reciprocity - or in other words, to re-introduce visas against Canada. EU states will then have a further three months to consider their reaction. As the presidency of the EU, we are in favour of this reciprocity,Sweden's migration minister Tobias Billstroem told AFP, despite the Canadian opinion that such a counter-reaction is out of the question.

Germany, France and the UK could face harsh consequences in terms of trade if they retaliate on the Czech Republic's side.Canada says 1,720 mostly Roma-origin Czech citizens applied for asylum in the first six months of 2009 compared to half that figure in the whole of 2008. The Czech Roma have complained of discrimination in their home country.We need to streamline the system to provide faster protection for real victims of persecution, while showing bogus claimants the door much more quickly,Canadian immigration minister Jason Kenney said on Monday.Until we're able to come up with reforms along those lines, unfortunately, the visa policy becomes our only recourse.

Seal angst

In another matter set to annoy in Canada, EU ministers on Monday rubber stamped a ban on EU seal product imports in response to concerns about the animal welfare aspects of seal hunting practices.Canada - which culls about 300,000 seals off its east coast each year – has said the EU's decision is unscientific and plans to challenge the move at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in Geneva.We are very disappointed with this ruling. We believe strongly this violates the World Trade Organisation guidelines,Canada's international trade minister Stockwell Day said, according to the BBC.It is in our view inappropriate that a trade decision is taken which is not based on science.The ban is due to affect the 2010 hunting season and halt annual trade worth a symbolic €4.2 million, according to media reports.

EU-Moldova relations linked to electoral conduct
VALENTINA POP Today JULY 28,09 @ 09:28 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Moldova will have better chances of access to EU projects and international loans if authorities organise proper elections on Wednesday (29 July), the EU has said.We don't want to see a repetition of what we saw in April and we hope that Moldovan authorities will use this occasion to demonstrate that they are able to move forward on the overall European agenda that we share,Swedish foreign relations chief Carl Bildt said after a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday.

Violent street protests and a brutal government crackdown followed parliamentary elections three months ago after the anti-Communist opposition claimed the vote was rigged.But Moldova was in May still invited to join the EU's Eastern Partnership - a Polish-Swedish origin project to improve EU relations with six former Soviet states.
Mr Bildt sent Polish foreign minister Radek Sikorski as his envoy to Cisinau on Friday with a call for the country to adhere to European values and principles.Mr Sikorski in Brussels on Monday made an explicit link between election behaviour and potential EU aid.The Moldovan authorities face a choice: either there are free elections and then we [the EU] say we are ready to intensify our relationship with Moldova on the Eastern Partnership, visa facilitation, economic assistance and a free trade zone, or Moldova will isolate itself,he said during a press briefing.The Pole mentioned freedom of the press, well-prepared voter registers and a climate of liberty as pre-conditions for a positive EU opinion.Mr Sikorski in Cisinau also handed a list of EU requests to acting Communist president Vladimir Voronin. The text urges respect for human rights and rule of law.It also calls on Cisinau to set up a promised commission of enquiry into the April events.In return, Poland pledged to be Moldova's advocate in future Eastern Partnership projects and in the country's potential talks with international lenders such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Investment Bank.The IMF predicts that Moldova's GDP will tumble by 9 percent this year. The country is already the poorest in Europe, with average monthly wages of less than €200.It relies economically and politically on Russia, with Moscow still keeping some 500 troops in the separatist region of Transnistria.

Communists set for losses

The latest opinion polls showed the Communists winning between 31 and 38 percent of the vote, much lower than the majority they claimed in the April elections.Three opposition parties have a combined score of around 30 percent, but one of them could forge an alliance with the Communists under a deal to oust Mr Voronin.In Europe, Communism as a political regime ...still exists only in Moldova, the liberal opposition parties said in a statement on the last day of the campaign.We have a chance in this election to turn this gruesome page once and for all.Mr Voronin, 68, has been in office since 2001 and cannot stand for a third presidential term but is hoping to take the powerful post of parliament speaker instead. He has been campaigning on fears the opposition might seek to reunite Moldova with Romania, of which it was part until 1940.On July 29 ...you will answer this question: should Moldova exist as a country, as a society - this wonderful and unique fatherland of ours? he said last week.

EU wary of diplomatic fallout from Iceland move
ANDREW RETTMAN Today JULY 28,09 @ 09:20 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The EU has tried to ward off any potential ill feeling in the Balkans after quickly accepting Iceland's accession bid. EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday (27 July) restated their "full support for the European perspective of the Western Balkans" and promised to shortly recognise Albania's application.I hope we will be able in the next few months, and stretching beyond the Swedish presidency, to give a new impetus to the integration process in the Western Balkans,Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt said.We must not lose sight of the need to further stabilise and integrate South East Europe,enlargement commissioner Olli Rehn added.The remarks came after the EU formally accepted Iceland's request to join the bloc just three days after it was made. Balkan nations such as Montenegro have in the past had to wait up to four months for the green light.Mr Rehn noted that he was in Podgorice last Thursday promoting EU visa free travel on the same day that Iceland handed over its EU bid in Stockholm. Montenegro, Macedonia and Serbia are set to enjoy visa-free entry into the EU from 1 January 2010.I do not happen to have a Montenegrean one, but this is the key to visa free travel in the EU [passport-free] Schengen area, the commissioner said, holding up a Serbian biometric passport at Monday's press event.EU-Balkan relations are mired in bilateral problems on top of a negative political climate toward enlargement.Greek foreign minister Dora Bakoyanni on Monday said Greece would veto starting accession talks with Macedonia unless the country changed its name, which is also the name of a Greek province. Slovenia on Friday also blocked the opening of another negotiating chapter in Croatia talks amid an ongoing dispute over maritime borders.

By the book

Mr Rehn said that Iceland's EU application will be treated by the book but explained that it already observes two-thirds of EU laws as a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), a 1994 trade pact.It took us a longer time to negotiate membership in the EEA than from that point to negotiate membership in the EU,Sweden's Mr Bildt pointed out.Iceland's EU entry will not be a walk in the park, however.Dutch EU ambassador Tom de Bruijn on Monday ruffled feathers by saying Iceland must repay €1.3 billion of debts caused by a 2008 bank collapse before its EU bid goes ahead. The Brits [which are owed €2.6 billion] are no longer making this a condition. But the Dutch want their money back,an EU diplomat said.

FEMA to Conduct Massive NLE 09 Martial Law Exercise Next Week
Kurt Nimmo Infowars July 23, 2009

Earlier this week, the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Craig Fugate met with several state governors to discuss emergency preparedness, according to a press release posted on FEMA’s website.FEMA is committed to protecting and assisting our states and citizens during disasters, said Fugate.By working together and strengthening relationships at the state level, we can continue to build the national emergency response team which includes FEMA, as well as state, local, tribal and federal partners, the private sector and faith-based organizations. The work we are putting in now to build this team will go a long way during the next disaster.Preparations are now underway for FEMA’s NLE 09. On Sunday, Fugate addressed governors from around the country at the National Governors Association conference in Biloxi, Mississippi, where he discussed how FEMA can best support the states and their citizens as we prepare for and respond to emergencies and disasters.FEMA does not specifically detail the next disaster, although Fugate had participated in a video teleconference with governors and officials from over a dozen hurricane prone states on his first day as Administrator.Last October, investigative journalist Wayne Madsen learned from knowledgeable FEMA sources that the Bush administration had put the final touches on a plan that would see martial law declared in the United States with various scenarios anticipated as triggers. The triggers include a continuing economic collapse with massive social unrest, bank closures resulting in violence against financial institutions, and another fraudulent presidential election that would result in rioting in major cities and campuses around the country,explained Madsen.An additional trigger has since emerged – a mass flu pandemic the government promises will occur this autumn.

In addition, Army Corps of Engineer sources told the journalist that the assignment of the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team (BCT) to the Northern Command’s U.S. Army North will augment FEMA and federal law enforcement in the imposition of traffic controls, crowd control, curfews, enhanced border and port security, and neighborhood patrols in the event a national emergency being declared. The BCT was assigned to duties in Iraq before being assigned to the Northern Command.

On July 3, Infowars reported on National Guard troops training to engage in combat with militia groups. In the exercises, held in Missouri and South Dakota, eight members of a Jefferson City-based battalion acted as a fictitious militant group and attacked military checkpoints and convoys.On September 30, the Army Times reported that the BCT would be deployed in the United States under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks. The BCT mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities,Gina Cavallaro wrote for the Times. The military is prohibited under the Posse Comitatus Act from working with local law enforcement.

Madsen reported on a highly-classified document regarding the martial law scenario on April 3, 2008. WMR has learned from knowledgeable sources within the US financial community that an alarming confidential and limited distribution document is circulating among senior members of Congress and their senior staff members that is warning of a bleak future for the United States if it does not quickly get its financial house in order. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is among those who have reportedly read the document.The document is called C & R, short for conflict and revolution.It reportedly states that if the United States defaults on loans and debt underwriting from China, Japan, and Russia, all of which are propping up the United States government financially, and the United States unilaterally cancels the debts, America can expect a war that will have disastrous results for the United States and the world. The other scenario is that the federal government will be forced to drastically raise taxes in order to pay off debts to foreign countries to the point that the American people will react with a popular revolution against the government.

In November of 2008, noted trends forecaster Gerald Celente predicted revolution, food riots and tax rebellions in America by the year 2012. Celente says that by 2012 America will become an undeveloped nation, that there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more about obtaining food, not gifts,Paul Joseph Watson wrote for Prison Planet. Celente accurately predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union.More recently, Celente said The Greatest Depression will be called Obamageddon” in America.The measures taken by successive governments to save the politically corrupt, morally bankrupt, physically decrepit giant from collapse have served to only hasten its demise. While the decline has been decades in the making, the acceleration of ruinous policies under the current Administration is leading the United States – and much of the world – to the point of no return,Celente wrote on July 1.On July 27, FEMA will conduct National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09), scheduled to run through July 31. NLE 09 will be the first major exercise conducted by the United States government that will focus exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection, as opposed to incident response and recovery,a FEMA factsheet states. It is designated as a Tier I National Level Exercise, or TOPOFF, which are exercises conducted annually in accordance with the National Exercise Program, which serves as the nation’s overarching exercise program for planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating national level exercises,according to FEMA.In addition to the participation of domestic partners, the FEMA exercise will include foreign troops. This year the United States welcomes the participation of Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom in NLE 09.The FEMA factsheet does not explain why the participation of foreign troops is necessary.

In February, D. H. Williams, reporting for the Daily Newscaster, revealed meetings held between FEMA, the Department of Homeland Security, and Indiana county municipal officials in the vicinity of Chicago. The feds allegedly told the officials that every county in the country would be required to prepare a Hazard Mitigation Plan, including plans to vaccinate the entire population within 48 hours and prepare mass graves. In addition, according to Williams’ source, the county was asked to make plans for hardening police and fire stations, putting in hardened bunker type buildings around town, and draft up plans for the possibility of up to 400,000 refugees from Chicago entering the county.Infowars and Prison Planet have been at the forefront of an effort to document the existence of mass graves, specifically in Phoenix and Houston. In April of this year, The Jones Report detailed the storage of thousands of plastic coffin liners in Alabama.Finally, it should be noted that FEMA was organized specifically for martial law. On July 5, 1987, the Miami Herald reported on the existence of camps operated by FEMA should martial law need to be implemented in the United States.The existence of the camps and Rex 84 — short for Readiness Exercise 1984 — came to light during the Iran-Contra hearings.And there you have it,writes Allen L Roland,the real purpose of FEMA is to not only protect the government but to be its principal vehicle for martial law…. This is why FEMA could not respond immediately to the Hurricane Katrina disaster — humanitarian efforts were no longer part of its job description under the Department of Homeland Security.The FEMA press release states that the feds are conducting a large exercise in order to respond to emergencies and disasters,when in fact they are conducting a martial law exercise with not only state, local, and tribal partners,but foreign troops as well.

National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09)

National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09) is scheduled for July 27 through July 31, 2009. NLE 09 will be the first major exercise conducted by the United States government that will focus exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection, as opposed to incident response and recovery.NLE 09 is designated as a Tier I National Level Exercise. Tier I exercises (formerly known as the Top Officials exercise series or TOPOFF) are conducted annually in accordance with the National Exercise Program (NEP), which serves as the nation's overarching exercise program for planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating national level exercises. The NEP was established to provide the U.S. government, at all levels, exercise opportunities to prepare for catastrophic crises ranging from terrorism to natural disasters.NLE 09 is a White House directed, Congressionally- mandated exercise that includes the participation of all appropriate federal department and agency senior officials, their deputies, staff and key operational elements.In addition, broad regional participation of state, tribal, local, and private sector is anticipated. This year the United States welcomes the participation of Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom in NLE 09.

EXERCISE FOCUS

NLE 09 will focus on intelligence and information sharing among intelligence and law enforcement communities, and between international, federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector participants.The NLE 09 scenario will begin in the aftermath of a notional terrorist event outside of the United States, and exercise play will center on preventing subsequent efforts by the terrorists to enter the United States and carry out additional attacks. This scenario enables participating senior officials to focus on issues related to preventing terrorist events domestically and protecting U.S. critical infrastructure.NLE 09 will allow terrorism prevention efforts to proceed to a logical end (successful or not), with no requirement for response or recovery activities. NLE 09 will be an operations-based exercise to include: activities taking place at command posts, emergency operation centers, intelligence centers and potential field locations to include federal headquarters facilities in the Washington D.C. area, and in federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector facilities in FEMA Region VI, which includes the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

EXERCISE OBJECTIVES

Through a comprehensive evaluation process, the exercise will assess prevention and protection capabilities both nationally and regionally. Although NLE 09 is still in the planning stages, the exercise is currently designed to validate the following capabilities:

Intelligence/Information Sharing and Dissemination
Counter-Terrorism Investigation and Law Enforcement
Air, Border and Maritime Security
Critical Infrastructure Protection
Public and Private Sector Alert/Notification and Security Advisories
International Coordination
VALIDATING THE HOMELAND SECURITY SYSTEM

Exercises such as NLE 09 are an important component of national preparedness, helping to build an integrated federal, state, tribal, local and private sector capability to prevent terrorist attacks, and rapidly and effectively respond to, and recover from, any terrorist attack or major disaster that occurs.The full-scale exercise offers agencies and jurisdictions a way to test their plans and skills in a real-time, realistic environment and to gain the in-depth knowledge that only experience can provide. Participants will exercise prevention and information sharing functions that are critical to preventing terrorist attacks. Lessons learned from the exercise will provide valuable insights to guide future planning for securing the nation against terrorist attacks, disasters, and other emergencies.

For more information about NLE 09, contact the FEMA News Desk: 202-646-4600.

FEMA leads and supports the nation in a risk-based, comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation, to reduce the loss of life and property and protect the nation from all hazards including natural disasters, acts of terrorism and other man-made disasters.Last Modified: Thursday, 04-Jun-2009 11:54:54 EDT.

NLE 09: FEMA Takes Preparations for Martial Law to the Next Level
Kurt Nimmo Infowars April 21, 2009

FEMA is preparing to take its martial law exercises to the next level this July. According to a factsheet buried on the FEMA website, the agency will host National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09) on July 27 through July 31, 2009.Previous TOPOFF exercises concentrated on natural disasters and bio-attacks.NLE 09 will be the first major exercise conducted by the United States government that will focus exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection, as opposed to incident response and recovery, the factsheet states. It is designated as a Tier I National Level Exercise, or TOPOFF, which are exercises conducted annually in accordance with the National Exercise Program (NEP), which serves as the nation’s overarching exercise program for planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating national level exercises,according to FEMA.NLE 09 will focus on intelligence and information sharing among intelligence and law enforcement communities, and between international, federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector participants in the aftermath of a notional terrorist event outside of the United States.So-called exercise play will concentrate on preventing subsequent efforts by the terrorists to enter the United States and carry out additional attacks.Such a large and coordinated exercise seems inappropriate, considering the fact there has not been a terrorist attack on the United States since September 11, 2001. In 2007, the neocon-connected Jamestown Foundation chalked this lack of threat up to stepped-up counter-terrorist efforts after 9/11 and possibly the simple luck enjoyed by government authorities.As the Washington Post noted in 2005, the government has a poor record when it comes to apprehending and prosecuting terrorists within the United States.Except for a small number of well-known cases — such as truck driver Iyman Faris, who sought to take down the Brooklyn Bridge — few of those arrested appear to have been involved in active plots inside the United States.In fact, as recently leaked Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and local law enforcement (in particular, the Missouri State Police) documents reveal, the real target is not al-Qaeda or Muslim terrorists, but rather rightwing extremists who support the Second Amendment and states’ rights and oppose abortion and open borders. The liberal corporate media has worked tirelessly with the government to demonize activists and supporters of these movements. It has orchestrated a disinformation campaign against the Tea Party movement and has attempted to link the alleged white supremacist cop killer Richard Poplawski to Alex Jones and others erroneously classified as rightwing extremists.The FEMA factsheet states NLE 09 will focus on intelligence and information sharing among intelligence and law enforcement communities, and between international, federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector participants.In other words, the exercise will concentrate on surveillance and counter-intelligence targeted at terrorists (rightwing extremists) who will – according to the NLE scenario – carry out attacks following a vaguely defined international terrorist event. A FEMA bullet point underscores the need for counter-terror investigation and law enforcement.Local law enforcement, through relationships previously established by DHS, the FBI and the CIA, will be on the front lines of this surveillance effort.

The FBI in particular has experience in surveilling Americans. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, for instance, the FBI kept a list – dubbed the ADEX list – of over 100,000 persons to be rounded up as subversive. More recently, the Inspector General of the Justice Department reported that the Terrorist Screening Center (the FBI-administered organization that consolidates terrorist watch list information in the United States) had over 700,000 names in its database as of April 2007. The list was growing by an average of over 20,000 records per month, according to the ACLU. The list now totals well over a million entries.Although not specifically mentioned in the FEMA factsheet, NLE 09 will also include exercises designed to round-up and intern suspected terrorists. Under REX 84 and other operations, FEMA, in association with 34 other federal civil departments and agencies, trained to detain large numbers of American citizens.During Hurricane Katrina, FEMA performed a dry-run of this unconstitutional power in New Orleans, not only rounding up refugees and relocating them in camps, but also testing its ability to confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens. Blackwater USA, a private mercenary outfit, participated in this illegal confiscation.InfraGard, the FBI organized public-private partnership (classical fascism as defined by Mussolini), will participate in NLE 09, as they have in past TOPOFF exercises.As Matthew Rothschild documented last March, there are more than 23,000 representatives of private industry working quietly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. InfraGard may be closer to a corporate TIPS program, turning private-sector corporations – some of which may be in a position to observe the activities of millions of individual customers – into surrogate eyes and ears for the FBI,Rothschild explains, citing the ACLU. The FBI has given the private organization the ability to use lethal force against suspected terrorists.FEMA’s National Level Exercise 2009 represents the next phase of preparations to implement martial law in America under the guise of fighting loosely defined terrorists. As the DHS, FBI, and MIAC reports indicate, the government now defines terrorists as rightwing extremists and indicates the threat is not from fanatics with beards in caves half way around the world, but from law-abiding Americans who are opposed to government policies.The FEMA camps corporate media shill Glenn Beck insists do not exist but are documented to in fact exist around the country are not for Muslims, but the real threat to government – increasing numbers of Americans determined to return the nagtion to a constitutionally limited republic.

The FBI Deputizes Business
By Matthew Rothschild, March 2008 Issue

23,000 Businesspeople Get Threat Info from FBI Before Public. In Turn, They Supply Tips to FBI. Two Members of Private Sector Group Say They Have Shoot to Kill Permission in Emergency. These are the astonishing findings in Rothschild's cover story of the March issue of The Progressive.Today, more than 23,000 representatives of private industry are working quietly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The members of this rapidly growing group, called InfraGard, receive secret warnings of terrorist threats before the public does—and, at least on one occasion, before elected officials. In return, they provide information to the government, which alarms the ACLU. But there may be more to it than that. One business executive, who showed me his InfraGard card, told me they have permission to shoot to kill in the event of martial law.InfraGard is a child of the FBI, says Michael Hershman, the chairman of the advisory board of the InfraGard National Members Alliance and CEO of the Fairfax Group, an international consulting firm.InfraGard started in Cleveland back in 1996, when the private sector there cooperated with the FBI to investigate cyber threats.Then the FBI cloned it,says Phyllis Schneck, chairman of the board of directors of the InfraGard National Members Alliance, and the prime mover behind the growth of InfraGard over the last several years.InfraGard itself is still an FBI operation, with FBI agents in each state overseeing the local InfraGard chapters. (There are now eighty-six of them.) The alliance is a nonprofit organization of private sector InfraGard members.We are the owners, operators, and experts of our critical infrastructure, from the CEO of a large company in agriculture or high finance to the guy who turns the valve at the water utility, says Schneck, who by day is the vice president of research integration at Secure Computing.At its most basic level, InfraGard is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the private sector,” the InfraGard website states.InfraGard chapters are geographically linked with FBI Field Office territories.In November 2001, InfraGard had around 1,700 members. As of late January, InfraGard had 23,682 members, according to its website, www.infragard.net, which adds that 350 of our nation’s Fortune 500 have a representative in InfraGard.

To join, each person must be sponsored by “an existing InfraGard member, chapter, or partner organization.The FBI then vets the applicant. On the application form, prospective members are asked which aspect of the critical infrastructure their organization deals with. These include: agriculture, banking and finance, the chemical industry, defense, energy, food, information and telecommunications, law enforcement, public health, and transportation.FBI Director Robert Mueller addressed an InfraGard convention on August 9, 2005. At that time, the group had less than half as many members as it does today. To date, there are more than 11,000 members of InfraGard,he said.From our perspective that amounts to 11,000 contacts . . . and 11,000 partners in our mission to protect America.He added a little later,Those of you in the private sector are the first line of defense.He urged InfraGard members to contact the FBI if they note suspicious activity or an unusual event. And he said they could sic the FBI on disgruntled employees who will use knowledge gained on the job against their employers.In an interview with InfraGard after the conference, which is featured prominently on the InfraGard members’ website, Mueller says: It’s a great program.

The ACLU is not so sanguine.

There is evidence that InfraGard may be closer to a corporate TIPS program, turning private-sector corporations—some of which may be in a position to observe the activities of millions of individual customers—into surrogate eyes and ears for the FBI,the ACLU warned in its August 2004 report The Surveillance-Industrial Complex: How the American Government Is Conscripting Businesses and Individuals in the Construction of a Surveillance Society.InfraGard is not readily accessible to the general public. Its communications with the FBI and Homeland Security are beyond the reach of the Freedom of Information Act under the trade secrets exemption, its website says. And any conversation with the public or the media is supposed to be carefully rehearsed.The interests of InfraGard must be protected whenever presented to non-InfraGard members,the website states. During interviews with members of the press, controlling the image of InfraGard being presented can be difficult. Proper preparation for the interview will minimize the risk of embarrassment. . . . The InfraGard leadership and the local FBI representative should review the submitted questions, agree on the predilection of the answers, and identify the appropriate interviewee. . . . Tailor answers to the expected audience. . . . Questions concerning sensitive information should be avoided.One of the advantages of InfraGard, according to its leading members, is that the FBI gives them a heads-up on a secure portal about any threatening information related to infrastructure disruption or terrorism.The InfraGard website advertises this. In its list of benefits of joining InfraGard, it states: Gain access to an FBI secure communication network complete with VPN encrypted website, webmail, listservs, message boards, and much more.InfraGard members receive almost daily updates on threats emanating from both domestic sources and overseas,Hershman says.We get very easy access to secure information that only goes to InfraGard members,Schneck says.People are happy to be in the know.On November 1, 2001, the FBI had information about a potential threat to the bridges of California. The alert went out to the InfraGard membership. Enron was notified, and so, too, was Barry Davis, who worked for Morgan Stanley. He notified his brother Gray, the governor of California.He said his brother talked to him before the FBI,recalls Steve Maviglio, who was Davis’s press secretary at the time.And the governor got a lot of grief for releasing the information. In his defense, he said, I was on the phone with my brother, who is an investment banker. And if he knows, why shouldn’t the public know? Maviglio still sounds perturbed about this: You’d think an elected official would be the first to know, not the last.In return for being in the know, InfraGard members cooperate with the FBI and Homeland Security. InfraGard members have contributed to about 100 FBI cases,Schneck says.What InfraGard brings you is reach into the regional and local communities. We are a 22,000-member vetted body of subject-matter experts that reaches across seventeen matrixes. All the different stovepipes can connect with InfraGard.

Schneck is proud of the relationships the InfraGard Members Alliance has built with the FBI. If you had to call 1-800-FBI, you probably wouldn’t bother,she says. But if you knew Joe from a local meeting you had with him over a donut, you might call them. Either to give or to get. We want everyone to have a little black book.This black book may come in handy in times of an emergency. On the back of each membership card, Schneck says,we have all the numbers you’d need: for Homeland Security, for the FBI, for the cyber center. And by calling up as an InfraGard member, you will be listened to.She also says that members would have an easier time obtaining a special telecommunications card that will enable your call to go through when others will not.

This special status concerns the ACLU.

The FBI should not be creating a privileged class of Americans who get special treatment,says Jay Stanley, public education director of the ACLU’s technology and liberty program.There’s no ‘business class’ in law enforcement. If there’s information the FBI can share with 22,000 corporate bigwigs, why don’t they just share it with the public? That’s who their real special relationship is supposed to be with. Secrecy is not a party favor to be given out to friends. . . . This bears a disturbing resemblance to the FBI’s handing out goodies to corporations in return for folding them into its domestic surveillance machinery.When the government raises its alert levels, InfraGard is in the loop. For instance, in a press release on February 7, 2003, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General announced that the national alert level was being raised from yellow to orange. They then listed additional steps that agencies were taking to increase their protective measures.One of those steps was to provide alert information to InfraGard program.They’re very much looped into our readiness capability,says Amy Kudwa, spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security.We provide speakers, as well as do joint presentations [with the FBI]. We also train alongside them, and they have participated in readiness exercises.On May 9, 2007, George Bush issued National Security Presidential Directive 51 entitled National Continuity Policy.In it, he instructed the Secretary of Homeland Security to coordinate with private sector owners and operators of critical infrastructure, as appropriate, in order to provide for the delivery of essential services during an emergency.Asked if the InfraGard National Members Alliance was involved with these plans, Schneck said it was not directly participating at this point.Hershman, chairman of the group’s advisory board, however, said that it was.InfraGard members, sometimes hundreds at a time, have been used in national emergency preparation drills,Schneck acknowledges. In case something happens, everybody is ready,says Norm Arendt, the head of the Madison, Wisconsin, chapter of InfraGard, and the safety director for the consulting firm Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc.There’s been lots of discussions about what happens under an emergency.One business owner in the United States tells me that InfraGard members are being advised on how to prepare for a martial law situation—and what their role might be. He showed me his InfraGard card, with his name and e-mail address on the front, along with the InfraGard logo and its slogan,Partnership for Protection.On the back of the card were the emergency numbers that Schneck mentioned.

This business owner says he attended a small InfraGard meeting where agents of the FBI and Homeland Security discussed in astonishing detail what InfraGard members may be called upon to do.The meeting started off innocuously enough, with the speakers talking about corporate espionage,he says.From there, it just progressed. All of a sudden we were knee deep in what was expected of us when martial law is declared. We were expected to share all our resources, but in return we’d be given specific benefits.These included, he says, the ability to travel in restricted areas and to get people out.But that’s not all.Then they said when—not if—martial law is declared, it was our responsibility to protect our portion of the infrastructure, and if we had to use deadly force to protect it, we couldn’t be prosecuted,he says. I was able to confirm that the meeting took place where he said it had, and that the FBI and Homeland Security did make presentations there. One InfraGard member who attended that meeting denies that the subject of lethal force came up. But the whistleblower is 100 percent certain of it. I have nothing to gain by telling you this, and everything to lose,he adds.I’m so nervous about this, and I’m not someone who gets nervous.Though Schneck says that FBI and Homeland Security agents do make presentations to InfraGard, she denies that InfraGard members would have any civil patrol or law enforcement functions. I have never heard of InfraGard members being told to use lethal force anywhere,Schneck says.The FBI adamantly denies it, also. That’s ridiculous, says Catherine Milhoan, an FBI spokesperson. If you want to quote a businessperson saying that, knock yourself out. If that’s what you want to print, fine.But one other InfraGard member corroborated the whistleblower’s account, and another would not deny it.Christine Moerke is a business continuity consultant for Alliant Energy in Madison, Wisconsin. She says she’s an InfraGard member, and she confirms that she has attended InfraGard meetings that went into the details about what kind of civil patrol function—including engaging in lethal force—that InfraGard members may be called upon to perform.There have been discussions like that, that I’ve heard of and participated in,she says.Curt Haugen is CEO of S’Curo Group, a company that does strategic planning, business continuity planning and disaster recovery, physical and IT security, policy development, internal control, personnel selection, and travel safety,according to its website. Haugen tells me he is a former FBI agent and that he has been an InfraGard member for many years. He is a huge booster.It’s the only true organization where there is the public-private partnership,he says.It’s all who knows who. You know a face, you trust a face. That’s what makes it work.He says InfraGard absolutely does emergency preparedness exercises. When I ask about discussions the FBI and Homeland Security have had with InfraGard members about their use of lethal force, he says: That much I cannot comment on. But as a private citizen, you have the right to use force if you feel threatened.We were assured that if we were forced to kill someone to protect our infrastructure, there would be no repercussions,the whistleblower says.It gave me goose bumps. It chilled me to the bone.Matthew Rothschild is the editor of The Progressive magazine and the author of You Have No Rights: Stories of America in an Age of Repression.This article, The FBI Deputizes Business,is the cover story of the March issue of The Progressive.
