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 looming demiseRate this story
By Pamela Geller JAN 6,10

The Europe as you know it from visiting, from your parents or friends is on the verge of collapsing, Geert Wilders said in a speech in the United States last year.
The leader of the Netherlands' populist Party for Freedom added: We are now witnessing profound changes that will forever alter Europe's destiny and might send the Continent in what Ronald Reagan called a thousand years of darkness. And not just Europe, but America as well. Been to Europe lately? Thought it was bad? You ain't seen nothing yet. The passage of the Lisbon Treaty, hailed by President Obama, nailed the coffin shut on national sovereignty in Europe. The people of Europe fought it, but were overwhelmed by their political elites and the lack of American leadership in this age of our rather Marxist, collectivist U.S. president. Come Jan. 1, 2010, a disastrous and suicidal pact called the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (Europe/Mediterranean) goes into effect with little fanfare or examination. It boggles the mind that such a consequential and seismic cultural shift could be mandated and put into play without so much as a murmur from the mainstream media. Why should Americans care about this? Americans have to care because this global gobbledygook is coming to our shores, thanks to our globalist president. The European human rights group called Stop the Islamization of Europe (SIOE) has been working tirelessly to expose the mass Muslim immigration plan of the Euro-Med Partnership. A statement on the SIOE Web site criticizes the secrecy of the process: It was shocking to hear about the plans and at the same time knowing that Danish politicians and a [cowardly] Danish press - who is otherwise proud to be critical - has told nothing to the Danish people about this project which begins in January.

This also showed clearly at the conference. Only very few politicians showed up and no media. Those politicians who showed up had obviously never heard about the Euro-Mediterranean project. The goal of the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation is to create a new Greater European Union encompassing both Europe and North Africa, with the Mediterranean Sea becoming a domestic Eurabian sea. The goal is to establish a comprehensive political partnership, including a free trade area and economic integration; considerably more money for the partners (that is, more European money flowing into North Africa); and cultural partnership - that is, importation of Islamic culture into post-Christian Europe. According to the SIOE, in the Euro-Med plan Europe is to be islamized. Democracy, Christianity, European culture and Europeans are to be driven out of Europe. Fifty million North Africans from Muslim countries are to be imported into the EU.Skeptical? It's already happening. The British newspaper the Daily Express reported in October 2008 on a controversial taxpayer-funded job centre that opened in Mali at that time as just the first step towards promoting free movement of people in Africa and the EU.Brussels economists claim Britain and other EU states will need 56 million immigrant workers between them by 2050 to make up for the demographic decline due to falling birthrates and rising death rates across Europe.

To offset this decline, a blue card system is to be created that will allow card holders to travel freely within the European Union and have full rights to work - as well as the full right to collect welfare benefits. A Muslim population from Africa moving freely into Europe threatens America. On Christmas Day, a Nigerian Muslim flew from Amsterdam to Detroit and tried to explode a bomb on the plane - after he was allowed to board the plane without a passport. The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership will make jihad attacks like this one all the easier. And once in Europe, Muslims have already begun demanding special privileges and accommodations. IslamOnline reported on Dec. 21 that Muslims activists from 26 European countries have come together to launch the first rights council to enlighten European Muslims about their rights, monitor rising Islamophobia and defend Muslim rights in European courts of law.Ali Abu Shwaima, a Muslim leader in Italy, explained: We think European human rights groups are not doing enough to defend the rights of Muslims. Therefore we thought that we need this new council, especially that all laws and constitutions in Europe respect freedom of religion and oppose all forms of discrimination and racism.Islamophobia,discrimination and racism are all terms Muslims in Europe and America use to confuse people into thinking that the perpetrators of Islamic terrorism are the real victims. And it is working: Mr. Wilders is going on trial in the Netherlands, instead of all the Islamic hate sponsors he is fighting against. It has to be this way, to increase harmony among the Muslim and non-Muslim member states of the Euro-Med Partnership. This internationalism is already destroying what has made Europe free and great. And now Mr. Obama seems to want to do the same to America. Pamela Geller is the editor and publisher of the Atlas Shrugs Web site. She is the author (with Robert Spencer) of the forthcoming book The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America (Simon and Schuster, July 2010).

New quakes rock Solomon Islands after tsunami by Evan Wasuka – Wed Jan 6, 2:00 am ET

MUNDA, Solomon Islands (AFP) – A string of fresh earthquakes rocked the western Solomon Islands late Tuesday and through Wednesday but there were no early reports of damage or casualties, officials said.The largest earthquake late Tuesday had a magnitude of 6.8, followed by seven aftershocks measuring at least 5.0 in the isolated region about 300 kilometres (185 miles) west of the capital Honiara.The latest tremors followed a series of quakes on Monday, with the largest of 7.2 causing a tsunami estimated at eight feet (nearly 2.5 metres).The National Disaster Management Office estimated Tuesday that around 1,000 people -- almost a third of the population -- had been made homeless on Rendova island by the earthquake and tsunami damage.Solomon Islands police commissioner Peter Marshall told Radio New Zealand Wednesday that no fresh damage had been reported from the 6.8 quake, which the US Geological Service had earlier measured at 6.9.We feel we would have heard by now if had that been the case. We have people on the ground up there, Marshall said.

There have been no reports of any additional injuries, damage or deaths.Solomon Islands Prime Minister Derek Sikua visited the affected area Wednesday amid criticisms that the distribution of aid had been slow.I don't want this operation to be handicapped by lack of money. I have instructed the Ministry of Finance, money isn't a problem, go ahead and do what you have to do, Sikua told emergency workers in the regional centre of Munda.There have been no deaths or major injuries reported from this week's swarm of quakes, which followed a tsunami in the same region in April 2007 that killed more than 50 people.Residents said the quake prompted people in coastal areas to flee for higher ground, with the memories of the 2007 disaster still fresh.Rendova island bore the brunt of Monday's quakes with some coastal areas inundated by the tsunami and hillsides scarred by large landslides.One of the worst affected villages on the island was Ratova where 11 houses were washed away in the tsunami, leaving at least 30 people homeless, officials said.The numerous landslides had also disrupted water supplies to villages on the island, where rice was being distributed to residents Wednesday.On the nearby largely uninhabited island of Tetepare, 10 foreign holidaymakers were evacuated from an eco-tourism centre on Monday. None was reported hurt.

Cold snap spurs power rationing in China By Chris Buckley – Wed Jan 6, 2:16 am ET

BEIJING (Reuters) – Cities across eastern and central China are rationing power for industry and urging residents to limit gas use after a wave of icy weather sent energy demand soaring while straining supplies of coal that were already tight.Much of China's manufacturing and farming heartland shivered on Wednesday under snow, sleet and unusual cold that drove south after dumping big snowfalls on Beijing and much of the country's north in past days.Daytime temperatures in Shanghai and across the nearby coastal provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang skidded close to 0 degrees Celsius (32 F), and many areas inland were hit by snow or sleet, according to meteorological departments.The harsh weather has pushed energy demand to new peaks, while transport snarls have slowed coal supplies, already low as power and coal companies haggle over prices.The confluence of soaring demand, transport snarls and brinkmanship over coal prices could force power cuts and upset production in some big economic provinces, if conditions worsen.Conditions for thermal coal supply and shipment do not allow for optimism, said the China Electric Power News, mouthpiece of the State Electricity Regulatory Commission.In central and eastern China, power plants' inventories of thermal coal remain as tight as they were at the end of last year, and already strained shipment of coal has suffered more hardships after being hit by the snow storms.Even with these worries, the cold snap is unlikely to seriously slow China's economic momentum. Much larger power and transport disruption after icy cold hit parts of southern China in early 2008 barely registered in GDP numbers.Power authorities have said they should be able to surmount the strains by expanding transmission between regions rationing the power and gas use by thousands of factories, with limited disruption to the broader economy.Shandong, a coastal province, limited power going to industry after the cold pushed power generating capacity to its limit. Eastern Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces were also straining to meet power demand, and some cities imposed rations for industry.

The inland province of Hubei has also been rationing power, after some power plants shut for lack of coal, local media said.But China's top exporting province, Guangdong in the south, has enough power to ensure normal operations, the China News Service reported, citing a provincial electricity grid official.China's coal mining is concentrated inland while demand is concentrated on the coast, resulting in long hauls that are often slowed by transport capacity strains and weather.China imports about 5 percent of its natural gas in the form of LNG, but imports are set to grow after the opening of a pipeline from central Asia.While most residents in northern cities, such as Beijing, enjoy centralized heating, cities south of the Yangtze River do not, leaving many to endure the cold or buy their own heaters.But even the Chinese capital, which normally enjoys priority treatment in everything from energy to food, curbed heating to government buildings, shopping malls, office buildings and industry to ensure supplies to residents, the Beijing Daily said.The energy strains are only partly a consequence of the recent cold snap. Demand for power was already running high as quickening economic growth pushed up factory production.

Coal suppliers and power companies are locked in price negotiations, and the freezing weather could work in favor of the suppliers, said the China Electric Power News. The impact of the snowy weather could become another negotiating pawn for big coal firms,it said. (Additional reporting by Jim Bai; Editing by Benjamin Kang Lim)

Hundreds rescued as heavy snow slams Britain By RAPHAEL SATTER, Associated Press Writer – JAN 6,10

LONDON – Unusually heavy snowfall stranded hundreds of motorists, disrupted trains and shut down schools and airports across Britain on Wednesday as the country suffered through its longest cold snap in nearly 30 years.The British military was called in overnight to help rescue motorists when up to 1,000 vehicles were caught in a massive snow-related traffic jam in Hampshire, in southern England. Many people were evacuated to nearby rescue centers but some people slept in their vehicles overnight.The demands on rescue workers in southern England were so overwhelming that coast guard workers turned their skills from sea to land to help out.The runway at London's Gatwick Airport, the second busiest in the country, was closed for snow clearance Wednesday morning while sections of the country's most important highways — such as the M1, which links London and Leeds — were closed.A dozen flights were canceled at London's Heathrow airport, Europe's busiest, with massive lines building at check-in desks. Similar delays and cancelations were reported at regional airports.Train services were also affected, with lines in southern England reporting reduced services. However London's transport system, which practically ground to a halt when snow hit the capital in February, only suffered minor disruptions. Most of the capital's bus and subway lines were running.

Hundreds of schools also closed down.

British winters are typically mild, and cities and towns are generally ill-equipped to deal with heavy snowfall. With the worst-hit areas seeing up to 16 inches (40 centimeters) of snow, officials and road crews were struggling to keep up.Several local governments were running out of sand and salt — with some reportedly emptying department stores of supplies. The wintry weather has prompted some police forces to urge drivers to stay off the roads and some trash collectors to suspend their rounds.

The national weather office says Britain is experiencing its longest cold snap since 1981. The unusually cold weather is expected to continue for the next two weeks.

Transport disrupted as snow and ice sweep Britain
Tue Jan 5, 4:37 pm ET

LONDON – Airports and highways were shut, hundreds of schools had to close, and even the venerable soap opera Coronation Street was disrupted Tuesday as the worst snow and icy weather in years swept Britain.All flights in and out of London's Gatwick and Luton airports were canceled as workers rushed to clear snow from runways. Other airports across the U.K. — including Manchester Airport, the John Lennon Airport in Liverpool and Southampton Airport — also closed temporarily, while delays and cancelations hit many other international airports, including London's Heathrow.A driver was killed when two trucks collided on a highway near Manchester in northwest England, and scores of accidents were reported on icy roads. The Automobile Association said it had dealt with 15,000 incidents across the country as cars broke down and drivers were stranded.Up to 16 inches (40 centimeters) of snow was forecast later Tuesday in parts of the country as the bad weather headed south from Scotland.

Weather service the Met Office said unusually heavy snow was expected in the south, although London will largely be spared of the worst weather. The office said Britain was experiencing its longest cold snap since 1981.Schools were shut across Scotland and northern England, and many highways and train services were forced to close.
Sports and entertainment also felt the impact. Police in northwest England said Tuesday's soccer game between Blackburn Rovers and Aston Villa was being postponed due to severe snow.Filming at the Manchester studios of Coronation Street — a popular TV soap about a working-class community in northwest England — was suspended after cast and crew members were kept away by the snow.Temperatures were just below freezing in most areas, falling as low as -10 C (14 F) in northern Scotland. The unusually cold weather is expected to continue for the next two weeks.This winter has been the coldest for years, driving a surge in demand for heating fuel. Authorities on Monday urged power suppliers to switch temporarily from gas to other fuels such as coal. The measure, known as a gas balancing alert, has only been used once before, in March 2006.

U.S. December weather coldest since 2000: report
Mon Jan 4, 12:47 pm ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The United States experienced its coldest winter in nine years in December as snow storms swept across the country, private weather forecaster Planalytics said on Monday.Every region in the United States trended colder than normal, Planalytics said, which helped boost energy prices as consumers nationwide turned up their heating.Following the warmest November since 2001, the month of December 2009 ended the coldest since 2000, Planalytics said on Monday.The highly populated northeast saw its coldest December since 2005, as did the southeast, Planalytics said. According to the National Weather Service, heating degree days in December for the whole United States were 867, 50 above the norm and 43 more than last year.Degree days, a measure of departure in the mean daily temperature from 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius), are used to reflect demand for energy to heat or cool homes and businesses.Heating oil prices rose nearly 10 percent in December, to $2.14 per gallon and natural gas prices rose 15 percent to above $5.50 per mmBtu, as consumers turned up the heat in their homes.(Reporting by Edward McAllister; Editing by Marguerita Choy)

Dead Octopuses Wash Up on Portuguese Beach- TIME
By LISA ABEND Lisa Abend – JAN 6,10

What is killing the octopus of Vila Nova de Gaia? That question has obsessed the Portuguese city, located just across the Douro river from Porto, since Jan. 2, when 1,100 lbs. (500 kg) of dead octopus were found on a 1.8-mile (3 km) stretch of local beach. The following day, another 110 lbs (50 kg) appeared; today there was just one expired creature.It's very strange that so many should be killed, and in such a confined area, says Nuno Oliveira, director of the Gaia Biological Park, a nature refuge on the outskirts of Vila Nova de Gaia.There's nothing in the scientific literature for this kind of mass mortality among octopus.Twelve hundred pounds is a lot of dead cephalopod, especially when no one seems to know for sure what killed them. Local biologists have ruled out pollution or contamination because no other species were affected. And although some suggest that perhaps a boat, illegally fishing the multilegged creatures, threw them overboard in a panicked attempt to avoid detection, that possibility also seems unlikely.The sea has been very rough, says Oliveira.No one has been out fishing for days.

After issuing multiple warnings that no townspeople should take the carcasses home for dinner (boiled octopus - perhaps sprinkled with a touch of paprika - is a Portuguese delicacy), Vila Nova de Gaia's municipal government had firefighters gather up the dead animals; many will now be sent to Lisbon's veterinary lab for testing, a process expected to take up to two weeks. Until then, evidence points to some sort of disease: a parasite, bacteria or a powerful virus.It affected octopus of all ages and sizes,says Mike Weber, director of the Aguda coastal station, an aquarium and biological research institute located in Gaia.That suggests that it wiped out the entire local population.There is one other option, however. In December 2007, Portuguese police confiscated 9.4 tons of cocaine in a shipment of frozen octopus from Venezuela.I suppose it's possible that someone defrosted the animals, took out the cocaine, then threw their bodies overboard,says Weber. Still, like Oliveira, Weber is betting on a biological cause.We've had swine flu, bird flu, he says, not completely in jest.Why not octopus flu?

Powerboat destroyed in Japan whaling clash
Wed Jan 6, 12:52 am ET

SYDNEY (AFP) – A futuristic powerboat sent to harass Japanese whalers has been sliced in two and is sinking after a clash in Antarctic waters, activists said on Wednesday.All six crew on the Ady Gil trimaran, which holds the round-the-world record, were rescued unharmed, the Sea Shepherd animal rights group said in a statement.The Ady Gil is believed to be sinking and chances of salvage are very grim, the group said, adding the unprovoked attack was captured on film.The Shonan Maru No. 2 suddenly started up and deliberately rammed the Ady Gil ripping eight feet of the bow of the vessel completely off, it said.Crew on the carbon-and-kevlar trimaran had hurled stinkbombs in their first clash with the whalers earlier on Wednesday.The Japanese whalers have now escalated this conflict very violently, said Paul Watson, captain of the Sea Shepherd's Steve Irwin ship.If they think that our remaining two ships will retreat from the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary in the face of their extremism, they will be mistaken.We now have a real whale war on our hands now and we have no intention of retreating.The Ady Gil, a wave-piercing boat formerly known as Earthrace, jetted round the world in just under 61 days last year, beating the previous record by two weeks.The craft was bankrolled by Hollywood businessman Ady Gil to help the anti-whalers, who claim to have saved hundreds of animals by confronting the Japanese ships in recent years.

American mother, baby killed by elephant in Kenya JAN 6,10

NAIROBI, Kenya – Officials say a charging elephant has killed an American woman and the baby daughter she held in her arms while the family was on a nature hike in Kenya.Kenya Wildlife Service official Michael Kipkeu said Sharon Brown, 39, was holding her 1-year-old daughter when the two were trampled by the elephant Monday.

Melia van Laar, owner of the Castle Forest Lodge, where the family was vacationing, says the family was walking with a guide about 2 kilometers (1 mile) from the lodge when an elephant emerged from the bush at full speed.Van Laar says the group tried to run away but Brown was not able to.The father of the family is a teacher in Nairobi. Friends and colleagues held funeral services Wednesday.

Indonesia reports 15 new bird flu deaths in 2009
Wed Jan 6, 5:07 am ET

JAKARTA, Indonesia – Indonesia on Wednesday reported 15 more bird flu fatalities in 2009, taking the human death toll in the country worst hit by the illness to 134.

Officials recorded 20 cases of the illness last year, 19 of them fatal, the Health Ministry said in a statement.The figures are the first to be released by Indonesia since March, when four deaths were announced. They show that while avian influenza is still active, the number of cases is on the decline.Last year saw the lowest number of human fatalities since 2005, when 13 were reported.The ministry said that the most recent death was on Sept. 23, but gave no details about who had died or where.Bird flu has killed 282 people worldwide since it began ravaging poultry stocks in 2003, the WHO said on its Web site. Indonesia is the worst affected country, with 161 infections since 2005, 134 of them fatal.Indonesia came under strong criticism last year when it stopped announcing individual cases of the disease and ceased sharing virus samples with international health experts working on a vaccine.Indonesia's former health minister had argued that the global system for a vaccine was unfair because her country's bird flu specimens could be used for a cure that would ultimately be too expensive for most Indonesians.

18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

EZEKIEL 20:47

NKorea began uranium program soon after 1994 deal By JAE-SOON CHANG, Associated Press Writer – Wed Jan 6, 4:36 am ET

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea appears to have started a uranium enrichment program soon after it agreed in a 1994 deal with the U.S. to dismantle its existing plutonium nuclear weapons program, South Korea's foreign minister said Wednesday.
Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan's remark, if accurate, suggests North Korea had no intention of giving up its atomic ambitions when it signed the 1994 pact that defused an earlier crisis over its plutonium-based bomb program.Suspicions about a North Korean uranium program touched off a new nuclear standoff in 2002, when a U.S. official said the North privately admitted having such a secret program.North Korea has long rejected the uranium allegations. But in an attempt to further escalate tensions after its second-ever nuclear test last May, it acknowledged having such a program and said it had succeeded in experimental uranium enrichment. It has not said when the program began.It appears the North started the uranium enrichment program right after the 1994 agreement or at least in 1996, Yu said in an interview with the Yonhap news agency published Wednesday. He did not give specific evidence. His ministry confirmed his remarks.If North Korea did launch the uranium program so soon after the 1994 deal with the U.S., it would suggest that the program may be more advanced than expected because it was not previously thought to have started so early, Yonhap said.Yu said, however, that it is unclear how advanced the program is, how much uranium the North has enriched or how much of it has been turned into weapons.

Atomic bombs can be made with highly enriched uranium or plutonium.

Under the 1994 pact with the U.S., North Korea agreed to freeze and ultimately dismantle its nuclear reactor in exchange for economic aid and diplomatic recognition.The accord fell apart in 2002 when the U.S. accused the North of running a secret uranium enrichment program.In addition to the uranium program, North Korea is also believed to have enough plutonium for at least half a dozen bombs.Since 2003, the U.S., China, Japan, South Korea and Russia have engaged North Korea in six-party talks aimed at ending its nuclear programs, but they have been deadlocked for more than a year.Last month, President Barack Obama's special envoy visited Pyongyang and the two sides agreed on the need to resume the stalled six-nation talks. But the North did not make a firm commitment on when it would rejoin the negotiations, saying there are still unspecified differences to be resolved.At the United Nations, China's ambassador, Zhang Yesui, urged the United States and North Korea on Tuesday to seize the moment and take positive steps so that the six-party talks can resume quickly.The ambassador, who took over the rotating presidency of the Security Council this month, called the recent talks between the senior U.S. and North Korean officials a positive development.Associated Press writer Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations contributed to this report.

ISRAEL

Whose Promised Land? Psalm 78:54-55 (ISRAELS)

JERUSALEM DIVIDED

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

ISRAELS INHERITED LAND IN THE FUTURE

And here are the bounderies of the land that Israel will inherit either through war or peace or God in the future. God says its Israels land and only Israels land. They will have every inch God promised them of this land in the future.
Egypt east of the Nile River, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, The southern part of Turkey and the Western Half of Iraq west of the Euphrates. Gen 13:14-15, Psm 105:9,11, Gen 15:18, Exe 23:31, Num 34:1-12, Josh 1:4.ALL THIS LAND ISRAEL WILL DEFINATELY OWN IN THE FUTURE, ITS ISRAELS NOT ISHMAELS LAND.

12 TRIBES INHERIT LAND IN THE FUTURE

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

Israel army to seek legal advice during operations By AMY TEIBEL, Associated Press Writer – Wed Jan 6, 2:43 am ET

JERUSALEM – Israel's military will consult more closely with its legal advisers on future offensives, security officials said Wednesday — a move motivated by war crimes accusations that followed last year's war in the Gaza Strip.Officers are also receiving more intensive training in the rules of war and international law, the officials said.Officials said military chief Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi has ordered the military to consult with its legal advisers in the course of operations, and not just in the planning stage, as was the case with the Gaza war. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the policy revision with the media.

The Israeli military spokesman's office had no immediate comment.The new policy follows a U.N. panel's conclusion that Israel committed war crimes in connection with the Gaza operation. Both military and political officials have been forced to cancel trips to Britain because of efforts by Palestinian activists to bring them to trial under a war crimes law that breaks down jurisdictional barriers.Israel embarked upon the Gaza offensive to stop militants from launching rockets into southern Israel. But the operation drew widespread international criticism over the high Palestinian civilian death toll: Gaza officials and Palestinian human rights groups say more than 900 civilians were killed, out of an overall toll of more than 1,400.

Thirteen Israelis also were killed.

Visiting British Attorney General Patricia Janet Scotland said in a speech at Jerusalem's Hebrew University on Tuesday that her government was looking urgently at ways in which the U.K. system might be changed to avoid this situation arising again and is determined that Israel's leaders should always be able to travel freely to the U.K.In other news, Israeli defense officials say Barak has received dozens of anonymous death threats since the government decided in November to slow construction in Jewish West Bank settlements.The slowdown has enraged settlers who fear it will be a first step toward dismantling some settlements as part of a still-elusive peace deal with the Palestinians.Security officials said the internal security service, or Shin Bet, was investigating the threats and that Barak's security detail had been reinforced in recent weeks.Such threats are taken seriously in Israel after Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated in 1995 by a Jewish extremist opposed to his peace moves with the Palestinians.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the slowdown in late November under pressure from Washington, which hopes to relaunch Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.But the Palestinians have refused to return to the negotiating table, saying they want Netanyahu to freeze all construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem and take up negotiations where they broke off under his predecessor.

Israeli officers cancel UK trip for fear of arrest By MARK LAVIE, Associated Press Writer – Tue Jan 5, 12:29 pm ET

JERUSALEM – An Israeli military delegation has canceled an official visit to Britain, officials said Tuesday, the latest in a string of politicians and army officials to put off travel to the U.K. because of fears of war crimes prosecution.
Israel complained that the practice, spearheaded by pro-Palestinian activists, is harming relations, and Britain's visiting attorney general said an urgent solution must be found.The Israelis called off their trip because their British army hosts could not guarantee they would not be arrested, the Israeli officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. Neither the Israeli military nor the British government would comment.The incident underlined the effectiveness of a pro-Palestinian legal campaign to harass Israeli officials in the wake of war crimes allegations after Israel's devastating invasion of Gaza a year ago to stop rocket attacks.Israelis brand the tactic lawfare, which they denounce as warfare through distortion of laws and conventions. It has crimped the travel plans of many officials and put Israel on the defensive in international bodies.In Britain, pro-Palestinian groups have forced Israelis to cancel trips for fear of arrest, taking advantage of Britain's universal jurisdiction law that allows prosecution of war criminals whose crimes have no direct connection with Britain.

Britain is one of the pioneers of the universal jurisdiction concept, but the British government is concerned that its application to Israel is badly straining relations between the two countries and has vowed to solve the problem.Visiting British Attorney General Patricia Janet Scotland heard a stiff protest Tuesday from deputy Israeli Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, who called the situation intolerable.
Later Tuesday, in a speech at Jerusalem's Hebrew University, she noted that the British government is looking urgently at ways in which the U.K. system might be changed to avoid this situation arising again and is determined that Israel's leaders should always be able to travel freely to the U.K.In Britain, pro-Palestinian groups have condemned moves to reform the law.We believe no attempt should be made (to change the law), said Inayat Bunglawala, spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain.There's no reason why Israel should be singled out for special treatment. If they're accused of war crimes, we have a duty — and legislation — to prosecute.Israelis charge the Palestinian use of the universal jurisdiction law is a distortion of its original intention — to prosecute war criminals whose own justice systems were incapable or unwilling to investigate their deeds. Though it has not satisfied international rights groups, Israel's military has investigated its own activities in the Gaza war and says it is still looking into a handful of cases.

Israeli experts charge that other examples of lawfare are condemnations by human rights groups and the U.N. of Israeli actions against Palestinian militants, especially last winter's military operation in Gaza that left about 1,400 Palestinians dead, including many civilians, and caused widespread destruction.Last month, pro-Palestinian activists persuaded a London judge to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli politician Tzipi Livni, who was foreign minister during the war in Gaza. The warrant was withdrawn after Livni canceled her trip, but the matter strained relations between Britain and Israel.The threat of arrest has forced several former security officials to call off trips to London, including a former general who had to hole up on an airplane at Heathrow Airport in 2005 to avoid arrest. Last fall, Defense Minister Ehud Barak fended off an arrest attempt by successfully arguing he had diplomatic immunity.Additional reporting by AP correspondents Jill Lawless in London and Diaa Hadid in Jerusalem.

RIYADH (AFP) – King Abdullah II of Jordan and Saudi King Abdullah discussed the Palestinian problem on Tuesday, the official news agency SPA said, amid a swirl of regional diplomacy aimed at restarting Middle East peace talks.During the meeting they discussed the overall situation in the Arab world, particularly developments in the Palestinian case and efforts to achieve peace in the region, SPA said.The Jordanian leader's one-day visit came in the wake of visits to regional heavyweight Saudi Arabia by Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas and Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal.
The Saudis hoping to push the two into a pact of reconciliation that would enhance their position in possible peace negotiations with Israel, according to Arab diplomats.Other meetings appeared to be aimed at gathering support from other Arab states for a deal.Meshaal met on Tuesday with officials in Bahrein while Abbas was in Qatar and Kuwait.Meanwhile, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal flew to Damascus on Tuesday to meet Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. He will then travel to the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh for talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, whose government has overseen reconciliation talks between the two leading Palestinian factions.On Sunday, Meshaal told journalists in Riyadh a pact was very near, but that Hamas still had differences with some of Egypt's proposals. He did not offer details.

Iran president opens new Turkmenistan-Iran gas link
Wed Jan 6, 3:48 am ET

ASHGABAT (AFP) – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday inaugurated a new gas pipeline link to Iran from its energy-rich neighbour Turkmenistan, which he said would take ties to a new level.Ahmadinejad, on his first trip abroad since a crackdown on opposition supporters in Tehran left at least eight dead, launched the pipeline which will more than double the supply of Turkmen gas to Iran to 20 billion cubic metres annually.The gas pipeline that is being opened today will take our relations to a new level,the Iranian leader said at the launch, also attended by his counterpart Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov.

Time not right for new Iran sanctions: Chinese envoy
Tue Jan 5, 6:33 pm ET

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) – China's UN ambassador Zhang Yesui said Tuesday it is too early to contemplate new sanctions against Iran over its refusal to halt sensitive nuclear fuel work, and called for more diplomacy.His comments came after the United States on Monday said the door is still open for Iran to meet world demands on its nuclear aims, but warned it was discussing with its allies the next steps, which could include sanctions.China and Russia have been more reluctant to impose sanctions on Iran than the other UN Security Council members -- the United States, Britain and France -- or Germany, which works with the five to try to curb Iran's ambitions.This is not the right moment for sanctions, said Zhang, who chairs the UN Security Council this month.He told reporters here that current diplomatic efforts to find a peaceful settlement still need some more time and patience, echoing a view expressed by the Chinese foreign ministry in Beijing.Zhang said sanctions themselves are not an end and a diplomatic solution would be the best option.

In Beijing, meanwhile, foreign ministry spokesman Jiang Yu told reporters: We believe that dialogue and negotiation are the proper way to resolve the Iran nuclear issue.We still have room for diplomatic efforts and we hope all parties will adopt more flexible and pragmatic policies to enhance the diplomatic efforts so as to promote an early resumption of talks, he added.Tehran dismissed a US-set deadline of December 31 to agree to a UN-brokered nuclear fuel swap deal and instead issued the West a one-month ultimatum expiring January 31 to accept a counter-proposal.The deal involves a US-backed International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) proposal to ship abroad low-grade nuclear fuel so it can be further enriched and returned to refuel a Tehran medical research reactor.Such a move would offer breathing room as the big powers try to halt Iran's uranium enrichment -- which the West fears masks a drive to build a nuclear bomb. Denying the charge, Iran says it seeks peaceful uses of nuclear energy.In Washington, State Department spokesman PJ Crowley suggested the United States still hoped China would change its position.It's no secret that China and the United States look at the utility of sanctions differently, Crowley told reporters when asked for comment on the Chinese remarks.Nonetheless, we will continue to work on this, he said, referring to an ongoing process of dialogue.At any particular time a country might say this is a good idea, this is a bad idea. We are going to continue our discussions, and we would expect to move forward with this in the coming weeks,he said.

Dubai's demise sees Abu Dhabi's rise By BARBARA SURK, Associated Press Writer – Wed Jan 6, 4:17 am ET

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates – There's no greater symbol of the shifting fortunes in the Gulf than the surprise renaming of the world's tallest building in Dubai after the leader of neighboring Abu Dhabi, who bailed out the faltering city state.
For years, the United Arab Emirates' capital Abu Dhabi played the role of rich but bland neighbor as flashy Dubai strutted to international stardom. That all changed when the bills came due.Abu Dhabi — awash in oil wealth — sent a total of $25 billion to Dubai last year to help the former boomtown fend off creditors after the global recession brought growth to a standstill. The white knight rescue further reinforced Abu Dhabi's image as a hub of serious power and ambitions — a place that forged deals for satellite branches of the Louvre and Guggenheim while Dubai plotted fantasy cities in the desert.But Monday's fireworks-and-laser extravaganza to open the more than half-mile (nearly 830-meter) tower offered the first hints that the bailout money to Dubai may come with strings attached. Abu Dhabi's more conservative rulers now hold the leverage to exert more control over Dubai's economic policies, its free-spirited social rules and its international dealings.It is the most public acknowledgment thus far of Dubai's political subordination to Abu Dhabi in the wake of the ... debt crisis last month, said Hani Sabra, Middle East expert with the New York-based consultancy Eurasia Group.Abu Dhabi literally stole the thunder from Dubai during the booming opening for the tower. It was long referred to as the Burj Dubai — Arabic for the Dubai Tower. But the name was secretly switched and unveiled to the public as the Burj Khalifa — after the emir of Abu Dhabi and UAE president Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.It's a golden opportunity for Abu Dhabi to increase political control over Dubai and the whole federation, said Christopher Davidson, an expert on Gulf affairs at Britain's Durham University.

Abu Dhabi has long tried to become the undisputed center of gravity for the country, a collection of seven semiautonomous emirates. Dubai has put up the most resistance to any outside supervision or control.But Abu Dhabi's cash injection may change the way Dubai is doing business with the West and — more important — could affect the sheikdom's massive trade with Iran. Dubai has served as a transshipment and banking hub for Iranian merchants, enabling the government in Tehran to try to circumvent U.S. sanctions.Abu Dhabi's rulers — like many other Arab leaders — are much more suspicious toward Persian Iran and its efforts to expand influence in the region.And Abu Dhabi has remained more faithful to Gulf's traditional values — unlike Dubai, which has sped up its development and loosened many of Gulf's strict Islamic codes to become one of the world's most multinational cities.

Abu Dhabi, however, has begun to look outward.

It's raised its profile internationally by hosting high-profile events such as the finale of the 2009 Formula 1 racing season and by using its estimated $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund on global shopping sprees.Abu Dhabi's various investment arms have in the past years purchased landmarks such as New York's Chrysler Building, acquired significant stakes in companies like Mercedes-Benz and explored new frontiers by pouring money into commercial space travel startup Virgin Galactic.The investment plan is strategically thought out and whether the money is spent aboard or at home, its returns are always channeled into the development of Abu Dhabi, said Mohammed Shakeel, a Dubai-based analyst for the Economist Intelligence Unit.Abu Dhabi also has commissioned world's renowned architects to design a cultural and educational hub, hosting regional branches of Guggenheim and Louvre museums and top U.S. schools like the New York University.Abu Dhabi does not want to be about oil and petrochemicals, but also about art and education, said Jean-Francois Seznec, a Gulf specialist at Georgetown University in Washington.With almost no oil left, Dubai several years ago believed it had to act fast if it wanted to attracted foreign investment and become a tourist destination. The ruler, Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, plowed ahead with dozens of megaprojects such as the palm-shaped island pushing into the Gulf as well as some dazzling follies such as a now-stalled city in the desert with imitations of the Eiffel Tower and Egypt's Pyramids.

Abu Dhabi, with its huge oil revenue, took it slow. They could afford to be more cautious and develop slowly because they are not worried they will be left behind, said Shakeel of the Economist Intelligence Unit. Abu Dhabi's plans also have the benefit of a direct pipeline to one powerful ruling family. Dubai's Sheik Mohammed has to share wealth with the emirate's influential merchant families to rule. The new relationship between the two sheikdoms is based on Dubai's subordination to Abu Dhabi, analyst say. Abu Dhabi views political dominance of the UAE as an important goal, and sees its current pre-eminence in the federation as permanent. Dubai's leadership, however, still views Abu Dhabi's dominance as matter of short term expedience,Sabra of Eurasia Group said. With virtually no pressure to democratize and with no urgency to diversify its economy, Abu Dhabi is pressing ahead with developments while Dubai is suffering from a fiscal hangover. Unlike Dubai, Abu Dhabi is going forward quietly, with no sign that decision on policy and economy will be anything but a family affair among its ruling clan. Abu Dhabi does not broadcast its potential and ambitions to anybody, said Shakeel, adding that those who hoped Dubai's debt fiasco will push Gulf's other oil economies to be less secretive when acquiring prized assets abroad will have to wait for sometime.

Polish and Chinese groups in road-building squabble
ANDREW WILLIS Today JAN 6,10 @ 09:31 CET

EU-China business tensions look set to continue following complaints from Polish motorway constructors that a Chinese group unfairly won a recent tender to build an important stretch of road in the large EU member state. In a letter to European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso, Poland's constructors' lobby group, the OIGD, urged the EU executive to take action against the Chinese group on the grounds it received competition-distorting state aid from Beijing. We note that the bid by the Chinese consortium is based on a price far below the value of the tender, which constitutes unfair competition,reads the letter, obtained by AFP. The Polish lobby group says the commission, EU watchdog on competition matters, should initiate anti-dumping measures against the China Overseas Engineering Group Company (COVEC).The value of COVEC's successful bid to build the stretch of road was 1.3 billion zloty (319 million euros).That was 48 percent less than the estimated cost of the tender. It was also 23 percent less than the second-lowest bid, says the Polish lobby group, claiming that the Chinese government will simply cover the cost of COVEC's losses.

After decades of underdevelopment, Poland is pushing hard to upgrade its infrastructure in time to co-host the 2012 European football championships In September, COVEC's bid beat several European competitors who were also vying to upgrade the 49 kilometres of motorway linking the Polish and German capitals, Warsaw and Berlin.

EU staff to head to Greece amid deficit reports
ANDREW WILLIS 05.01.2010 @ 06:51 CET

EU officials are preparing to make their way to Greece this week amid reports that the country's 2009 budget deficit may have topped already dire earlier forecasts.
With an expected touchdown in Athens this Wednesday (6 January), staff from the European Commission and the European Central Bank will be keen to hear how the eurozone country with the largest deficit plans to rectify the problem. The probing visit comes amid reports that the southeastern EU country has exceeded an already gloomy budget forecast for 2009. According to Greek financial website Ta Nea, the country's deficit last year may have reached 14.5 percent of GDP, largely due to falling tax revenues. The deficit figure is even higher than the 12.7 percent revealed by the Greek Socialist government in November. Athens is due to submit a budget report - known as a stability report - to the European Commission before the end of this month, as eurozone finance ministers prepare to discuss the issue at their regular monthly meeting on 15-16 February. Under EU rules, member state deficits are not permitted to exceed three percent of GDP, although the vast majority are currently in breach of this threshold due to the financial crisis. There is close cooperation with the European Commission to avoid any danger of rejecting our stability programme, something which would be catastrophic, said Greek government spokesman George Petalotis.The finance ministers' meeting comes just days after a planned informal reunion of EU heads of state, which the new permanent president of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, has announced will take place on 11 February.Economic issues are set to dominate the meeting, with the subject of deficits likely to be aired.

The government of Prime Minister George Papandreou, elected in October following promises of higher spending and wages, is trying to persuade investors it can cut its deficit over the coming year. An upward revision of the country's expected 2009 deficit by the new government shortly after the elections sent investors into a panic, prompting credit rating agencies to cut the Greece's debt rating. Athens has promised to cut its deficit by four percent this year, hinting recently it may make further cuts of one billion euros.However analysts point to the one-off nature of the government's initiatives, including asset sales, sin taxes, a 90 percent levy on bank bonuses, and a clamp-down on tax-evasion – rather than measures to tackle the country's bloated structure of state spending.

Iceland's referendum decision provokes angry UK and Dutch response
HONOR MAHONY Today JAN 6,10 @ 09:27 CET

Iceland's EU membership bid was seen as at stake on Tuesday after a shock decision by the country's president to block legislation on paying billions of euros to Britain and the Netherlands to compensate investors in the collapsed Icelandic bank Icesave.In a televised speech, President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson acknowledged the strength of popular opposition to the deal among ordinary Icelanders, many of whom are questioning why they have to pay for the actions of their country's banks. His move means the issue will now be put to a referendum.Last June, Iceland made an agreement with London and the Hague to pay them back €3.8 billion they used to compensate British and Dutch savers who lost money in October 2008 when their accounts with the online savings account Icesave were frozen, following the collapse of the parent company Landsbanki.The president said an overwhelming majority wanted a direct say over the issue after a petition objecting to the terms of paying back the loan gathered the support of one fifth of the population. Under the terms of the agreement the loan will be paid back over 15 years with interest, with estimates suggesting every household will have to contribute around 45,000 euros. Feelings in Iceland have been running high, particularly after the heavy handed tactics at the height of the crisis used by Britain which invoked an anti-terrorism law to freeze the country's assets in the UK.It is the cornerstone of the constitutional structure of the Republic of Iceland that the people are the supreme judge of the validity of the law, said Mr Grimsson. The president's decision, which comes just a week after the parliament narrowly approved legislation to pay back the loan following months of wrangling, has prompted an immediate and angry response.Fitch, the international rating agency, downgraded Iceland's longterm foreign currency credit rating to junk status on the back of the move and called it a significant setback to Iceland's efforts to restore normal financial relations with the rest of the world.

The Times newspaper reported that Britain's financial services minister Lord Myners said that if the referendum decision was allowed to stand then Iceland would be frozen out of the international financial system and would not be able to join the European Union.The UK Government stepped in to ensure that all retail depositors with Icesave were fully paid out, and now we expect the Icelandic Government to ensure that we are repaid that amount which Iceland owes us, he said.

The Netherlands has also reacted with anger.We are very disappointed about the decision,said a Dutch finance ministry spokesman, according to the Wall Street Journal.Iceland has the obligation to pay back the money.With recent polls showing that Icelanders would likely reject the terms of the repayment in any referendum, the country's EU path is also set to be affected.Each member state may veto an attempt by another country to join the European Union. Iceland submitted a formal application for membership in July 2009. Once hailed as a probable EU member shoo-in, the banking situation as well as Icelanders more ambivalent feelings about joining the 27-nation bloc is likely to complicate the negotiation process.

Giant offshore grid to link up north-western Europe
VALENTINA POP Today JAN 6,10 @ 09:26 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – Nine north-western European countries are planning a giant underwater energy grid in the North Sea linked to wind farms, tidal power stations and hydroelectric plants.Thousands of kilometers of high-tech energy cables are set to be laid on the seabed of the North Sea in the coming ten years, in what will become Europe's groundbreaking energy park, Germany's Sueddeutsche newspaper reports.
The cables would link existing and new windmills off the German and British coasts with Belgian and Danish tidal power stations and Norwegian hydroelectric plants. The €30-billion project would compensate for the irregular nature of renewable energy and provide a steady flow to the countries involved.Germany, Great Britain, France, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland and Luxembourg are behind the project. Their respective energy ministers - except for Norway which is not an EU member - last month signed a so-called North Seas' countries offshore initiative, just as the international climate change summit in Copenhagen was kicking off.We're already the world leader in offshore wind here in the UK and today's announcements bring new funding and expert direction to grow this vital new industry, Philip Hunt, the British sustainability minister, said in December.Berlin sees itself as the driving motor behind the scheme. For Germany, as a country with ambitious offshore-development plans, this initiative has great importance. It focuses on network connection and integration, which is crucial for wind energy to reach consumers and to make offshore energy generation a success,German minister for economy and technology Rainer Bruderle said on Wednesday (5 January) in a press release.He added that the idea came about during a meeting of French, German and Benelux representatives on energy issues.

After initial meetings in Ireland last year, officials from the nine countries will meet in the February, and aim to sign a binding agreement by the end of 2010. The project is mainly going to be funded by energy firms, which will be drawn into the negotiations. It is expected to produce 100 gigawatts of power.The EU hopes to generate a fifth of its electricity needs from renewable energy sources by 2020, a move which requires new modern energy grids, capable of absorbing the fluctuations of wind and solar energy.

European stocks edge down ahead of key US news By Pan Pylas, Ap Business Writer – JAN 6,10

LONDON – European stock markets edged down Wednesday despite modest gains in Asia, as investors remained reluctant to stake out new positions ahead of some key economic news out of the U.S.The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was down 23.85 points, or 0.4 percent, at 5,498.65 while Germany's DAX fell 27.13 points, or 0.5 percent, to 6,004.73. The CAC-40 in France was 8.2 points, or 0.2 percent, lower at 4,004.71.Wall Street was also poised for a subdued opening — Dow futures were down 29 points, or 0.3 percent, at 10,486 while the broader Standard & Poor's 500 futures fell 4.1 points, or 0.4 percent, 1,128.20.Since Monday, when investors charged into the New Year in a buoyant mood, trading has been lackluster — disappointing U.S. housing figures Tuesday dented some of the optimism and U.S. stocks ended more or less flat.Analysts said this Friday's U.S. nonfarm payrolls data for December could be the catalyst for renewed direction — the jobs data often set the stock market tone for a week or two.

However, there's some economic news later that could prompt some positioning for Friday's data, including the monthly jobs figures from private payrolls firm ADP. In addition, the monthly services sector survey from the Institute for Supply Management will be pored over to see if it is as buoyant as the equivalent manufacturing report on Monday.The publication of the minutes to the last rate-setting meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve could also excite interest as investors try to get a clearer idea about the growing tensions between the doves and the hawks on the Federal Open Market Committee.Meanwhile in London, Europe's busiest financial center, trading activity was affected by big snowfalls in counties around the capital, where many traders live.We have still been plagued by lower volume since the return from the Christmas break and things may be similar today as the big freeze continues to disrupt across Britain, said James Hughes, market analyst at CMC Markets.Many will not be able to travel to the city today and this added disruption could further dent volumes and cause a degree of volatility, he added.Earlier in Asia, Japanese stocks shrugged off speculation the country's finance minister, one of the few experienced hands in the new government's Cabinet, will resign because of ill health. Hirohisa Fujii, 77, checked into hospital on December 28 for rest and health checks.

Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average closed up 49.62 points, or 0.5 percent, at a new 15-month high of 10,731.45.Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 137.09, or 0.6 percent, to 22,416.67 and South Korea's Kospi climbed 0.9 percent to 1,705.32. Australia's benchmark advanced 0.2 percent and Singapore's market gained 0.2 percent but China's Shanghai index dropped 0.9 percent.Oil prices hovered below $82 a barrel after a report showed U.S. crude supplies fell more than expected last week. Benchmark crude for February delivery was down 4 cents at $81.73 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Tuesday, the contract rose 26 cents to settle at $81.77, a 14-month high.The dollar recouped most of the previous day's losses against the yen amid the growing talk of Fujii's status, rising 0.8 percent to 92.43 yen.Though any new finance minister would still face the same deflationary concerns that occupy Fujii, the currency markets are skeptical that any successor could be as effective in resisting calls for a bigger fiscal boost.Any suggestion of additional Japanese government bond issuance to fund such fiscal adventures would likely weigh on the yen, said Gareth Berry, a currency strategist at UBS.The euro was steady at $1.4360.

Harper says economy on mend; jobs needed By Randall Palmer – Wed Jan 6, 2:40 am ET

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said on Tuesday he was much more optimistic economically about 2010 but he would not be satisfied until the jobless rate starts to come down.Economic indicators were almost universally moving a bit in the right direction though the unemployment rate has barely budged, the Conservative leader said in a CBC television interview.When my fellow economists say, Well the economy's out of recession now, I tend to qualify that. We can argue that technically, he said.But we all know that while the unemployment situation has stabilized, we haven't yet recouped some of the job losses that we saw last year. Until we start to see that, I won't be satisfied we're on the road to recovery.He noted that Canada's jobless rate had plateaued earlier and at a lower rate than in the United States but the current level around 8.5 percent was too high and needed to be closer the pre-recession range of 5.5 to 6.5 percent.The main thing is the direction. We'd like to see it start to fall, he said.Statistics Canada will release its December jobless report at 7 a.m. EST (1200 GMT) on Friday and analysts predict the unemployment rate will stay at 8.5 percent while 20,000 jobs will be added.

The problem will be just the opposite later, he predicted.I do think that it won't be long after the recession is over that we're going to start to see the longer-term problem, which is labor shortage in our economy, he said, noting that this had hit some sectors and areas before the recession.Harper was reelected in October 2008 to a second minority government, one in which he requires the support of at least one of the three opposition parties to stay in power.There is little sign the opposition would team up to defeat him in the near future, given his substantial polling lead, and Harper said Canadians expected the economy rather than another election to be the focus.The consensus out there would be nobody wants an election. I don't think anybody would see a reason for one. We continue to have economic challenges. As I say, we're more optimistic (but) I don't think the challenges have completely gone away and we're still in a period of considerable uncertainty,he said.(Editing by Jeffrey Hodgson)

Oil hovers below $82 amid US crude inventory drop By PABLO GORONDI, Associated Press Writer JAN 6,10

Oil prices hovered below $82 a barrel Wednesday after a report showed U.S. crude supplies fell more than expected last week.By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for February delivery was down 24 cents to $81.53 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Tuesday, the contract rose 26 cents to settle at $81.77 a barrel, a 14-month high.Traders closely study U.S. inventory data for signs of consumer demand trends, and crude supplies fell 2.3 million barrels last week, the American Petroleum Institute said late Tuesday.Analysts had expected a drop of 1.6 million barrels, according to a survey by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos.The Energy Department's Energy Information Administration plans to announce its inventory report — the market benchmark — later Wednesday.Oil has surged about 15 percent since mid-December as colder weather in the U.S. boosts demand for crude products such as heating oil.Tuesday's API report, however, showed a buildup in such products, which could be a sign that the falling temperatures may not continue supporting the market as much as some have expected.

The latest build in distillate stocks should provide a slap in the face of bulls who relied on cold temperatures as a wonder cure, said JBC Energy in Vienna.Oil prices were also being kept from rising for the 10th straight session by the stronger dollar, which make dollar-denominated oil more expensive for investors holding other currencies.In midday European trade, the euro was down to $1.4348 from $1.4369 late Tuesday in New York, while the British pound fell to $1.5979 from $1.6002 and dollar rose to 92.44 Japanese yen from 91.74 yen.In other Nymex trading in February contracts, heating oil fell 1.62 cents to $2.1779 a gallon and gasoline slid 1.87 cents to $2.1063 a gallon. Natural gas futures rose 9.8 cents to $5.735.In London, Brent crude for February delivery fell 31 cents to $80.26 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.Associated Press writer Alex Kennedy in Singapore contributed to this report.

Stock futures point to lower Wall Street open By IEVA M. AUGSTUMS, AP Business Writer JAN 6,10

Stock index futures pointed to a lower open on Wall Street Wednesday as investors refrain from any major moves ahead of a stream of economic data.Traders will receive a handful of economic data from December in the morning, including the ADP National Employment Report on private companies and the Institute for Supply Management's index of service industry activity. The Federal Reserve will also release the minutes from its December meeting later in the day.Dow futures fell 17, or 0.2 percent, to 10,498. Standard & Poor's 500 index futures fell 2.60, or 0.2 percent, to 1,129.70, while Nasdaq 100 index futures fell 2.50, or 0.1 percent, at 1,882.75.

Asian stocks were up, while European markets edged lower.Many analysts said investors were holding back while they wait for Friday's Labor Department report on employment.The ADP report is often used as a forecasst for the government's report, which economists expect to say that the nation's unemployment ticked up to 10.1 percent in December from 10 percent in November.The private sector report is expected to show a loss of 73,000 jobs in December, according to economists polled by Thomson Reuters. That's far better than the 169,000 jobs lost in November.

The report is due out at 8:15 a.m. Eastern Time.

The Institute for Supply Management will issue its non-manufacturing index for December. Economists forecast that the index hit 50.5 in December, up from 48.7 in November. A reading of 50 marks the dividing line between growth and contraction in the service sector, which includes more than 80 percent of U.S. economic activity.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, rose to 3.79 percent from 3.76 percent late Tuesday. The yield on the three-month T-bill, considered one of the safest investments, rose to 0.7 percent from 0.05 percent.The dollar mostly rose against other major currencies, while gold prices rose.Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average rose 0.5 percent.

EU to test new university ranking in 2010
HELENA SPONGENBERG Today JAN 6,10 @ 10:03 CET

EUOBSERVER – The European Union is developing a new worldwide ranking system of universities to rival currently established league tables in a bid to improve the ranking of European universities and improve Europe's economic power.National league tables have been common since the 1990s but as higher education has increasingly become globalised with many students opting to take part of their studies abroad, the focus has shifted to worldwide university rankings.This means the rankings are increasingly receiving more attention for different specific purposes: Students use them to short-list their choice of university; public and private institutions use them to decide on funding allocations; universities use them to promote themselves; while some politicians use them as a measure of national economic achievements or aspirations.Europe's around 4,000 higher education institutions have over 19 million students and 1.5 million staff. However, European universities have time and again failed to make it big in the current world university rankings.

The upcoming European league table

The European ranking project will be developed over a two-year period with planned implementation at the beginning of 2011.Earlier this year, a German/Dutch/Belgian/French consortium for Higher Education and Research Performance Assessment – called CHERPA – won an EU call for tender to develop and test an alternative design for a global ranking of universities.While planning has been taking place throughout the second half of 2009, the European league table will be tested on 150 higher education institutions around the world in the first half of 2010, initially focussing on engineering and business studies. The project has a budget of €1.1 million.Although the number of ranking tables increase every year, there are at the moment two main – and rivalling – world university rankings: the Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) in the UK and the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Academic Ranking of World Universities (SJTU) in China.Both rankings have been compiled annually since the mid-2000s and generally show US universities to be well ahead of continental European universities when it comes to the top spots.In the past six Jiao Tong rankings, 17 US universities were each year placed in the top 20, with Cambridge and Oxford Universities the only European higher education institutions among the top 20. Over the same period, the THES league table generally has 12 US institutions in the top 20 together with four UK universities and occasionally a French institution.

Europe criticises global rankings

The European Commission as well as some EU member states have been criticising the way the established rankings have been compiled, saying that they contain many biases and that they fail to represent the diverse and multifunctional nature of universities and their research activities accurately.The commission is of the opinion that many existing rankings do not really fulfil this purpose, for example because they focus on research aspects rather than teaching, and on entire institutions rather than programmes and departments, the Commission stated when calling for a European alternative to the current global league tables.The call came after a 2008 Commission study questioned the substance of statistics on which the Jiao Tong ranking is based and concluded that neither the Jiao Tong nor the THES system succeed in effectively ranking Europe's universities.France has long called for a European alternative to current global league tables, arguing that the selection criteria of existing rankings favour Anglo-Saxon higher education institutions to the disadvantage of French and other European universities. French Minister for Higher Education and Research Valérie Pécresse has made a new European rankings system one of her priorities. According to the EU Commissioner for Education, Training, Culture and Youth, Maros Sefcovic, the European ranking project's so-called multi-dimensional approach to the mapping of universities would create a better balance between research indicators and quality of education indicators when it comes to the ranking of universities.

The battle for brainpower

The aim to draw up an EU university ranking system forms part of a broader modernisation agenda, which seeks to improve higher education across Europe as part of an overall economic growth strategy.In the global market, universities have become a barometer of global competition measuring the knowledge-producing and talent-catching capacity of higher education institutions, argues Ellen Hazelkorn from the Dublin Institute of Technology.Knowledge has become the foundation of economic, social and political power, where the scramble for students … or battle for brainpower now complements traditional geo-political struggles for natural resources,she adds.

A FALSE PROPHET COMES FROM THE VATICAN ALSO AT THIS TIME.

REVELATION 13:11-18
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
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.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

REVELATION 17:1-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
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.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
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.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
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.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
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.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Pope greets faithful in basilica By FRANCES D'EMILIO, Associated Press Writer JAN 6,10

VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI greeted faithful and kissed babies in St. Peter's Basilica amid new security measures following the Christmas Eve scare.Benedict celebrated Mass to mark Epiphany, the Jan. 6 holy day commonly referred to as the feast of the Three Kings, or Magi, during the last main public ceremony of the Vatican's holiday season.As the pope, wearing gold colored vestments, a long, lacy cassock and red shoes, made his way to the main altar, he strode up a central aisle widened as part of heightened security precautions that were put in place after a young woman scrambled over a barrier during his entrance procession on the night of Dec. 24, when the basilica was packed with thousands of people for Christmas Eve Mass.The woman, who lived in Switzerland and has a history of psychological problems, grabbed the pope's vestments, pulling him down to the marble floor in that incident. The 82-year-old pope was shaken but unhurt, while an elderly French cardinal, who fell during the commotion, broke his hip. The Italian-Swiss woman is being treated at a psychiatric clinic near Rome while the Vatican investigates.

Following the security breach, the basilica's main aisle was widened by pushing back the red-curtained barriers that separates the passage from the rows of faithful . The measure gives pope's security detail more space to maneuver and puts him at a greater distance from the public.Still, the pope seemed determined to give his flock the message that despite security worries, he intends to keep in physical contact with the faithful.Arriving and leaving the basilica, the pope moved to the left and right of the aisle to shake some of the many hands stretching out to him. At one point he patted a pacifier-sucking baby on the head, then kissed the infant, before kissing the hand of the woman holding the child out to him.Benedict smiled broadly as he moved his hand in blessing or waved to the public.In his homily, Benedict blamed lack of authentic humility and courage for what he said was a shortage of faith.After the Mass, as he greeted the public in St. Peter's Square from his studio window, offering good wishes for those in Eastern Churches celebrating Christmas on Jan. 7. He describe the three kings as models for authentic searchers of the truth.

Thousands of pilgrims, tourists and Romans, including many children, turned out to cheer the pope as they strolled the cobblestone square, made festive by a towering Christmas tree and a life-sized creche. In many European countries, the Epiphany is the feast day when children receive holiday presents.

UN Gold Hoax Muddies The Waters Of Real Move Towards Global Currency
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Monday, January 4, 2010

A recent announcement by the United Nations that it will begin to mint gold and silver bullion coins bearing the UN logo has raised fears that a new global currency is being readied to replace the dollar, but the story is likely to be a hoax, muddying the waters of the very real move towards a global monetary system.The United Nations (UN) has licensed the minting of gold bullion coins bearing its logo to provide a public option world savings currency, stated the original story.The source of the story was attributed to both the Vancouver Examiner and Adfero Limited and it featured on the World Gold Council website, but the link to the article now gives a 404 error page. There is nothing on the UNCTAD website to verify the authenticity of the story.Posters on the Ron Paul Forums dismissed the story as a hoax.I posted this a while back, but there was no primary data source to back it up. Nothing on the UN’s site either, it’s more than likely a hoax writes one.Others have also questioned how the UN can afford to buy gold to mint its own coins, tying the development in with other suspicious circumstances surrounding alleged manipulation of gold prices.Where did the gold come from for the UN to start minting its own coins? asks Gold Investing News.For sure, the UN doesn’t have an official budget to buy tonnes of gold on the open market.The story, which seems to have had little basis in fact and a lot of basis in speculation or imagination, has now been pulled from the site as it is not factual….The UN only issues commemorative coins. writes BullionGoldCoins.com.

Posters on the Prison Planet Forum questioned the motives behind putting out a fake story about the move towards a world currency, suggesting unscrupulous people were testing the water on how the public would react to the announcement.Just like the fake Amero coins hoax story which was put out by disgraced FBI informant Hal Turner, the UN gold story will still be parroted years from now by gullible people unaware of the fact that it’s a hoax. This in turn will allow debunkers to exploit the confusion and claim that the entire one world government agenda is a paranoid invention, when the process of its implementation is publicly announced on an almost daily basis.The all too real move towards a global currency was unveiled at last year’s G8 summit in Italy, when Russian President Dmitry Medvedev displayed a coin to reporters a coin representing a united future world currency.We are discussing both the use of other national currencies, including the ruble, as a reserve currency, as well as supranational currencies, the Russian leader said at a news conference.This followed comments made by U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to the Council on Foreign Relations, in which he assured CFR globalists that the U.S. was open to the notion of a new global currency system to replace the dollar.

In addition, the scandal-ridden and highly secretive Bank For International Settlements, considered to be the world’s top central banking power hub, released a policy paper in 2006 that called for the end of national currencies in favor of a global model of currency formats.The march towards a global currency is real, provable and openly documented. The UN gold hoax story has seemingly little purpose other than to poison the well with disinformation, thereby inadvertently detracting credibility from those who are warning of a global government takeover which manifests itself in a myriad of different ways at every major global summit, from the G8 to last month’s Copenhagen conference.

Robert Rubin: All Hell Could Break Loose Because of the Huge Government Debt
Economic Policy Journal January 4, 2009

The ultimate insider, Robert Rubin, who is a former secretary of the Treasury (1995–99) and now serves as co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations and is a fellow of the Harvard Corporation, in a Newseek opinion piece had this to say:The United States faces projected 10-year federal budget deficits that seriously threaten its bond market, exchange rate, economy, and the economic future of every American worker and family. Those risks are exacerbated by the context of those deficits: a low household-savings rate, even after recent increases; large funding requirements for federal debt maturities every year; heavy overweighting of dollar-denominated assets in foreign portfolios; worsened fiscal prospects in the decades after the current 10-year budget period; and competing claims for capital to fund deficits in other countries.The conventional concern here is that private investment will be crowded out, which would result in a reduction of productivity, competitiveness, and growth. In addition, the very early 1990s showed that unsound fiscal conditions can have a symbolic effect that broadly undermines business and consumer confidence. But finally, and far more dangerously, our bond and currency markets could react with severe distress to fears about imbalances in the supply and demand for capital in the years ahead or about the possibilities of inflation. Those effects have been averted so far by a number of factors: large inflows of capital from abroad into Treasury securities; concerns about other major currencies; the low level of private demand for capital; and the psychological state of the market. But this cannot continue indefinitely, and change can occur with great force—and unpredictable timing.

Of course, he is correct. However, this isn’t the first time an insider has warned about the debt. Obama, himself, has done so.What I am waiting for is the other foot to drop, i.e., what solutions will be proposed to resolve the debt situation. I doubt it will be any serious attempt at cutting back government spending. It will more than likely, in a panic state, be a dramatic hike in taxes, including possibly a national sales tax or VAT.

Israel approves east Jerusalem building project By AMY TEIBEL, Associated Press Writer – JAN 5,10

JERUSALEM – Israel has approved construction of four new apartment buildings in disputed east Jerusalem, officials said Tuesday, fueling tensions with the Palestinians at a time when the U.S. is laboring to get peace talks moving again.
The Palestinians claim east Jerusalem for a future capital and demand all construction there stop before negotiations resume. The 24-unit project is being developed in an Arab neighborhood by Irving Moskowitz, an American Jew who has generously funded Jewish settlers determined to cement Israel's hold on contested areas of the holy city.Jerusalem is the most explosive issue between Israel and the Palestinians, and the new buildings would be located in one of its most volatile sites, just outside the walled Old City with its Christian, Muslim and Jewish shrines.Stephan Miller, spokesman for Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, confirmed that Jerusalem's local planning committee approved the project on Monday, clearing the way for construction to begin.Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat condemned the move in the strongest possible terms. He said if Israel wants to resume peace talks, they must announce a total cessation of settlement activities in east Jerusalem and the West Bank. Israel committed to a full settlement freeze in 2003 under an internationally backed peace plan.In late November, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that construction in Jewish West Bank settlements would slow down for 10 months, but said building in east Jerusalem would proceed without restrictions.

An official in Netanyahu's office said the decision to build in east Jerusalem was made by municipal authorities and did not require involvement by the prime minister. He could not be identified under civil service regulations.Israel captured east Jerusalem, along with the West Bank, from Jordan in the 1967 Mideast war.Israel does not consider construction in east Jerusalem to be settlement activity because it annexed the area immediately after its capture. In November, it announced plans to build hundreds of new homes in Gilo, a sprawling Jewish neighborhood in east Jerusalem.The international community, like the Palestinians, does not recognize the annexation and views the Jewish neighborhoods built in east Jerusalem as settlements. Some 180,000 Jews live in those neighborhoods, alongside an estimated 250,000 Palestinians.The latest project is potentially even more contentious because it is not in any of the established Jewish neighborhoods. Instead, it is located in the heart of a predominantly Arab area of the city.The Obama administration's special Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, is due in the region in the next few days to try to break the negotiations logjam.Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas have both met in recent days with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in an effort to prod things along. But so far, there has been sign that the two sides are moving any closer.The Palestinians have not relaxed their demand for a complete settlement freeze in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. They also insist that talks resume where they left off under Netanyahu's predecessor, Ehud Olmert, who proposed sharing Jerusalem and ceding wide swaths of the West Bank to a future Palestinian state.Israel says it has no preconditions for talks and is willing to immediately discuss all outstanding issues. It has roundly criticized the Palestinians for not returning to the negotiating table.But Netanyahu has said repeatedly that Israel does not intend to share Jerusalem and historically has opposed giving up all the West Bank land the Palestinians claim. The Palestinians say these positions leave little for the two sides to discuss.

Bulgaria puts price on Turkey's EU membership
ANDREW RETTMAN 04.01.2010 @ 17:19 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Bulgaria is threatening to block Turkey's application to join the European Union unless it pays out billions of euros in compensation for displaced people, in a case dating back to the days of the Ottoman Empire. A Bulgarian cabinet minister without portfolio who runs the country's Agency for Bulgarians Abroad, Bojidar Dimitrov, pressed the claim in remarks to the Bulgarian newspaper, 24 Hours, on Sunday (3 January).Turkey is surely able to pay this sum, after all, it's the 16th largest economic power in the world, he said, putting a total of $20 billion (€14 billion) on the settlement. One of the three conditions of Turkey's full membership of the EU is solving the problem of the real estate of Thracian refugees.The Ottoman Empire in 1913 expelled hundreds of thousands of ethnic Bulgarians from lands lying on the western side of the Bosphorus. It became the Republic of Turkey in 1923 and recognised the rights of the displaced people in a 1925 treaty, but the agreement was never implemented, Bulgaria says. An official in the Bulgarian government press office, Veselin Ninov, told EUobserver on Monday that Mr Dimitrov's statement reflects government policy and that the dispute is being handled by a Bulgarian-Turkish intergovernmental working group.

Mr Ninov mentioned a different sum, however.This is a matter of official government policy. There is a contract between the two parties, dated 1925. This is an official contract, so, according to the contracting parties, the Turkish government has to repay $10 billion to $12 billion (€8 billion) to the Bulgarian refugees,he said.

Mr Ninov described the issue as being more historical than political.But when asked if Bulgaria is ready to veto progress in EU-Turkey negotiations because of the dispute, he said: There is such an option. But this is just one of many other conditions of Bulgarian support for Turkish membership. There are also issues relating to energy and water management projects.Bulgarian prime minister Boyko Borissov is set to raise the compensation question during a visit to Turkey in January or February, Mr Ninov added.Turkey began EU accession talks in 2005 and has so far opened 12 out of 35 negotiating chapters.Its military occupation of northern Cyprus, an EU member, has so far proved the main stumbling block to progress. But the EU commission is also concerned about Turkey's respect for human rights, while Germany and France are opposed to Turkish EU entry on broader political grounds.The issue of historically displaced people has become increasingly disruptive since the EU's 2004 wave of enlargement. In a recent example, Czech president Vaclav Klaus last year tried to block ratification of the Lisbon Treaty unless the EU inserted a special clause ruling out compensation for Germans expelled from Czechoslovakia after World War II.The Turkish foreign ministry and the EU commission were unavailable for an immediate comment.

Iran denies cancellation of EU lawmakers' trip
VALENTINA POP Today JAN 5,10 @ 09:26 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – Several MEPs on Monday complained that the Iranian authorities made a last-minute cancellation of a planned trip to the country, but Tehran claimed that the EU lawmakers themselves postponed the visit.I regret this last minute move to block the EU Parliament visit to Iran, which is further proof of the Iranian authorities' blank refusal to allow any serious discussion about the grave unresolved issues in the country, German Green MEP Barbara Lochbihler, the delegation's chair, said in a statement.She indicated that the Iranian ambassador to Brussels, Ali Asghar Khaji, had in a surprise move blocked the visit to the country scheduled for 7-11 January.But Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said that it was the lawmakers themselves who had decided to postpone the visit. He did not give a reason for the delay.The Iranian state news agency IRNA, meanwhile, said the delegation had cancelled the visit because of protests by members of the US Congress.Ms Lochbihler confirmed that she had received a letter from Congress asking her not to go ahead with the visit and claiming that it would be counter-productive.

The isolated voices within the US Congress and EU Parliament who opposed the visit have given an easy excuse to Iran to block the trip on grounds of media pressure. It is also a blow to Iranian civil society, which had high hopes for a European Parliament visit that would show solidarity with the concerns of millions of Iranians who have supported the so-called green movement,she explained.The EU lawmakers were due to meet human rights activists as well as Iranian parliamentarians, as Iran's opposition faces a government crackdown amid protests over the disputed June re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.Iranian security forces have arrested scores of opposition figures and dissidents since fierce clashes in Tehran on December 27 between police and protesters in which at last eight people were killed, according to opposition websites.The EU has condemned Tehran's crackdown on opponents and called for the rights of protesters to be respected.At a summit last month, EU leaders expressed support for new sanctions against Iran, warning that Tehran's refusal to negotiate over its nuclear programme must be met with a clear response.

EU staff to head to Greece amid deficit reports
ANDREW WILLIS Today JAN 5,10 @ 06:51 CET

EU officials are preparing to make their way to Greece this week amid reports that the country's 2009 budget deficit may have topped already dire earlier forecasts.With an expected touchdown in Athens this Wednesday (6 January), staff from the European Commission and the European Central Bank will be keen to hear how the eurozone country with the largest deficit plans to rectify the problem. The probing visit comes amid reports that the southeastern EU country has exceeded an already gloomy budget forecast for 2009. According to Greek financial website Ta Nea, the country's deficit last year may have reached 14.5 percent of GDP, largely due to falling tax revenues. The deficit figure is even higher than the 12.7 percent revealed by the Greek Socialist government in November. Athens is due to submit a budget report - known as a stability report - to the European Commission before the end of this month, as eurozone finance ministers prepare to discuss the issue at their regular monthly meeting on 15-16 February. Under EU rules, member state deficits are not permitted to exceed three percent of GDP, although the vast majority are currently in breach of this threshold due to the financial crisis.

There is close cooperation with the European Commission to avoid any danger of rejecting our stability programme, something which would be catastrophic, said Greek government spokesman George Petalotis.The finance ministers' meeting comes just days after a planned informal reunion of EU heads of state, which the new permanent president of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, has announced will take place on 11 February.Economic issues are set to dominate the meeting, with the subject of deficits likely to be aired. The government of Prime Minister George Papandreou, elected in October following promises of higher spending and wages, is trying to persuade investors it can cut its deficit over the coming year. An upward revision of the country's expected 2009 deficit by the new government shortly after the elections sent investors into a panic, prompting credit rating agencies to cut the Greece's debt rating. Athens has promised to cut its deficit by four percent this year, hinting recently it may make further cuts of one billion euros.However analysts point to the one-off nature of the government's initiatives, including asset sales, sin taxes, a 90 percent levy on bank bonuses, and a clamp-down on tax-evasion – rather than measures to tackle the country's bloated structure of state spending.

Oil rises to near $82 on stocks, cold weather By PABLO GORONDI, Associated Press Writer – JAN 5,10

Oil rose to near $82 a barrel Tuesday after a jump in U.S. stock markets boosted investor confidence and helped extend a four-week rally in crude prices.By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for February delivery was up 8 cents to $81.59 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract climbed $2.15 to settle at $81.51 on Monday.Oil traders often look to stock markets as a measure of overall investor sentiment, and equities rose in the first trading day of 2010 as investors eyed signs of improvement in U.S. and Chinese manufacturing.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 1.5 percent on Monday while the Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 1.6 percent. Most major Asian and European stock indexes were up Tuesday.Should the stock market maintain its upward momentum amid a further weakening of the dollar, it appears that the oil complex should be well equipped to advance further, Galena, Illinois-based Ritterbusch and Associates said in a report.
Crude prices also rose due to colder weather in the U.S., which traders expect will spur higher demand for oil products such as heating oil.On the weather front, the U.S. might experience its coldest winter since the 1980s, said JBC Energy in Vienna. In Britain, the freezing cold temperatures are also likely to continue, after a record cold December.

Oil has surged about 15 percent since mid-December.In other Nymex trading in February contracts, heating oil rose 0.15 cent to $2.1920 a gallon and gasoline gained 0.36 cents to $2.1080 a gallon. Natural gas was down 9.6 cents to 5.788 per 1,000 cubic feet.In London, Brent crude for February delivery rose 9 cents to $80.21 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.Associated Press writer Alex Kennedy in Singapore contributed to this report.

Stocks futures mixed ahead of open as dollar falls By IEVA M. AUGSTUMS, AP Business Writer – JAN 5,10

Stock investors are expected to slow their pace of buying Tuesday following a big rally on the first trading day of the new year.Stock index futures were narrowly mixed, not surprising a day after the Dow Jones industrials soared more than 150 points on upbeat manufacturing reports in the U.S. and China.In corporate news early Tuesday, Kraft Foods Inc. said it will revise its hostile takeover offer for British chocolate and gum maker Cadbury PLC, offering more cash funded by the sale of its North American pizza business to Nestle.Nestle, which paid $3.7 billion for Kraft's pizza operations — including the Tombstone and Jack's brands in the U.S. — ruled itself out of a potential bidding war for Cadbury.Tuesday brings economic data from November, including a Commerce Department report on factory orders and the National Association of Realtors' numbers on pending home sales. Analysts expect factory orders to have risen a moderate 0.5 percent, according to a Thomson Reuters survey. The report is due out at 10 a.m. EST.The Realtors' report is also expected at 10 a.m. EST. Investors were also awaiting, on Friday, perhaps the most critical economic report, the Labor Department's assessment of employment during December.

Dow futures rose 5, or 0.1 percent, to 10,524. Standard & Poor's 500 index futures is unchanged at 1,128.80, while Nasdaq 100 index futures fell 0.25, or less than 0.1 percent, to 1,886.50.Asian stock markets were up earlier in the day Tuesday, still gaining momentum from Monday's manufacturing data. European markets were relatively flat.Meanwhile, bond prices were mixed. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.82 percent from 3.83 percent late Monday. The yield on the three-month T-bill, considered one of the safest investments, was unchanged from 0.07 percent.The dollar mostly fell against other major currencies, while gold prices rose. Oil prices closed in on $82 a barrel, as light, sweet crude added 15 cents to $81.66 a barrel in electronic premarket trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average rose 0.3 percent. In afternoon trading, Britain's FTSE 100 was up 0.4 percent, Germany's DAX index was down 0.1 percent, and France's CAC-40 was up less than 0.1 percent.

UN stops food aid to 1 million in southern Somalia By FRANK JORDANS, Associated Press Writer – JAN 5,10

GENEVA – The U.N. food agency is stopping aid distribution to about 1 million people in southern Somalia because of attacks against staff and demands by armed groups that aid groups remove women from their teams, the agency said Tuesday.The World Food Program is moving staff and supplies to northern and central Somalia from six areas in the south that are largely controlled by the al-Shabab Islamist group, said Emilia Casella, a WFP spokeswoman. The U.S. State Department says al-Shabab has links to al-Qaeda.Up to a million people that have been dependent on food assistance in southern Somalia face a situation that is particularly dire, Casella told reporters in Geneva.At least four of WFP's staff have been killed over the past 18 months, and militants threatened and looted three of its offices in the south, Casella told The Associated Press.Armed groups have also increasingly been demanding that the World Food Program and other aid groups remove women from their staff and pay tens of thousands of dollars in protection money to guarantee the aid workers' security, she said.The agency had tried to resolve the demands of armed groups through meetings with village elders, but was unable to win the necessary guarantees for the security of its staff and protection of its humanitarian work, Casella said.

We need concrete guarantees from the leadership of the armed groups, she said.The World Food Program is now preparing for a mass exodus of hungry Somalis from the south to other parts of Somalia and to neighboring countries, she said.The agency supplies aid to some 3 million people in the war-torn country, which is also struggling with drought and produces only a third of the food it needs every year.

New Iran sanctions within a month: Israeli minister
Sun Jan 3, 5:25 am ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) – The UN Security Council will adopt a fresh batch of sanctions against Iran within a month, deputy foreign minister Danny Ayalon of Tehran's arch-foe Israel said.The world is uniting against Iran's nuclear programme, and within a month we will see UN Security Council sanctions, the liberal Haaretz daily quoted Ayalon as saying.There is agreement in Washington, Moscow and Beijing that a nuclear Iran would destroy the current world order, he said.Ayalon's comments came as the New York Times reported that the President Barack Obama administration believes domestic unrest and signs of unexpected trouble in Iran's controversial nuclear programme make its leaders particularly vulnerable to strong and immediate new sanctions.Obama?s strategists believe Iran?s top political and military leaders have been distracted in recent months by turmoil in the streets and political infighting, and that their drive to produce nuclear fuel appears to have faltered, the report said.The White House wants to focus the new sanctions on the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, the spearhead of Iran's armed forces that is also believed to run the nuclear weapons effort, The Times said.Widely believed to be the Middle East's sole if undeclared nuclear power, Israel and the United States suspects Iran of trying to develop atomic weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear programme, a charge Tehran denies.

Iran accepts Clinton non-deadline on nuclear talks By NASSER KARIMI, Associated Press Writer – JAN 5,10

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran said Tuesday it welcomes Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's comments that there is no hard-and-fast deadline for starting nuclear dialogue.On Monday, Clinton said the Obama administration remained open to negotiating with Iran over its nuclear program, though it will move toward tougher sanctions if Iran does not respond positively. She stressed there was no hard-and-fast deadline for Iran.Responding Tuesday, Iran's foreign ministry welcomed the comments

We share the same idea with her. Deadlines are meaningless. We hope other countries return to their natural path, too, said Ramin Mehmanparast, a foreign ministry spokesman.The remarks were a rare positive response by the Iranians to U.S. comments on its nuclear program.The U.S. and other Western allies accuse Iran of working to develop nuclear weapons. Iran denies the charge and says its program is for peaceful purposes.The West is primarily concerned about high levels of uranium enrichment, which can be used to make an atomic bomb. At lower levels, enriched uranium is used in the production of fuel for nuclear power plants.Iran has dismissed an end-of-2009 deadline imposed by the Obama administration and its international partners to accept a U.N.-drafted deal to swap most of its enriched uranium for nuclear fuel. The deal would reduce Iran's stockpile of low-enriched uranium, limiting, at least temporarily, its capability to make nuclear weapons.In her comments Monday, Clinton also said the administration was appalled by the Iranian government's crackdowns on street protests — which she described as mounting signs of ruthless repression.At least eight people died in clashes between security forces and opposition supporters across Iran late last month, including a nephew of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi. It was the worst bloodshed since the height of the unrest immediately after the contested June re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Mehmanparast rejected these Clinton remarks.Westerners are following those who do not represent the Iranian people, he said.A mistake that some western countries commit is that they, with political intentions, are after those who support chaos and outrages.Iran regularly accuses western countries — mostly the United States and Britain — of supporting unrest in Tehran.On Sunday the country's intelligence minister said several foreign nationals were among those detained during last month's clashes.Mehmanparast did not elaborate on the nationality of the foreign detainees and said their issue would be investigated by authorities.If it is confirmed that they did not have any intention in the event, they will be released, he said.Iran also released a list of 62 international organizations it said were planning a "soft revolution" by supporting the opposition in Iran.The intelligence ministry list includes George Soros' Open Society Institute, the Washington-based National Endowment for Democracy, the National Democratic Institute, the International Republican Institute, the Brookings Institution and U.S. National Defense University. The list also includes TV networks like BBC Persian and Voice of America in Farsi as well as the East European Democratic Center in Poland and the British nonprofit Wilton Park. Intelligence ministry said any link with the organizations would be illegal.Also Tuesday, Irans state radio said the country's parliament rejected a request by U.S. Senator John Kerry to visit ran.

Residents return after bomb scare in London, Ont.Last Updated: Tuesday, January 5, 2010 | 5:20 AM ET CBC News

Around 80 people in London, Ont., were allowed to return to their homes early Tuesday morning after a bomb scare prompted an evacuation.Bomb squad officers set off several controlled explosions Monday night as they worked to defuse a possible explosive device found in a home in the city's east end.Police would not say what the device was or whether it was a homemade or military device.We don't know what it is, said Staff Sgt. Henry Pateman. The item appears to be related to an explosive device, but we don't know what it is.A bomb disposal robot was sent into the house at 14 Lisa Court when the explosives disposal unit encountered some suspicious items.

Police said three or four components of the device were taken from the home and detonated in controlled explosions behind a protective shield in the street.

30 homes evacuated
The bomb scare forced residents to leave about 30 homes in the neighbourhood.Acting Staff Sgt. Lynn Sutherland said the incident began Monday morning when a man called asking for police assistance. Police went to the home and discovered what appeared to be an explosive device.The man, who lives at the house, was taken to hospital but police would not say what he is being treated for.Police said they haven't been able to talk with him yet and are not releasing further information about him until they do.All the homes on Lisa Court were evacuated, along with some residences on nearby Sackville Street, Dame Street and Chesley Avenue.With files from The Canadian Press.

Watch list grows as extra airline screening begins By EILEEN SULLIVAN, Associated Press Writer – Mon Jan 4, 5:56 pm ET

WASHINGTON – The names of dozens more people have been added to the government's terrorist watch list and no-fly list after a failed terrorist attack on Christmas prompted U.S. officials to closely scrutinize a large database of suspected terrorists, an intelligence official said Monday.People on the watch list get additional checking before they are allowed to enter this country; those on the no-fly list are barred from boarding aircraft in or headed for the United States.The review of the National Counterterrorism Center's massive Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE) database was prompted by the attempt to bring down a Detroit-bound jetliner. That incident also spurred enhanced security screening that took effect Monday for people traveling to the United States from or through Yemen, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and 11 other countries.The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the watch lists and requested anonymity, but said that after the Dec. 25 incident counterterrorism officials reviewed information in TIDE on people from countries where terrorists have operated.The Transportation Security Administration outlined the new security rules in a directive sent to airlines Sunday, but initial reports from several European countries indicated that they were still scrambling to digest and implement the new rules.The time it takes to implement new screening procedures depends on where airlines are operating, said Steve Lott of the International Air Transport Association.It can happen in a matter of hours or it can happen in a day or two.

Many other passengers who are not from those 14 countries or traveling through them will continue to see additional screening measures, according to a senior TSA official. For instance, in another refinement of measures put in place after the Christmas incident, it is now up to the plane's captain whether to require passengers to put away electronic devices during the flight and to remain seated for the final hour before landing. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.TSA also said Sunday that all passengers on U.S.-bound international flights will be subject to random screening and airports were directed to increase threat-based screening of passengers acting in a suspicious manner.

People who are from or traveling from or through these countries are supposed to have full-body pat-downs and have their carryon luggage checked: Cuba, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, and Yemen.The U.S. has designated Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria to be state sponsors of terrorism. The other 10 countries are considered of interest, based on the latest terrorism intelligence. People from those countries or traveling through them could also be subject to full-body scanning and explosive detection technology as part of their screening.The new security measures come in response to the failed Christmas Day attempt to bomb a jetliner as it approached Detroit after a flight from Amsterdam. Witnesses said a 23-year-old Nigerian, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, ignited an explosive mixture but it failed to do serious damage to the Northwest jetliner or its passengers. He has told U.S. investigators he received training and instructions from al-Qaida operatives in Yemen.Abdulmutallab's name was in the massive TIDE database of about 550,000 suspected terrorists. But his name was not on a watch list or a no-fly list, officials said, because they did not have enough information about his plans and associations. The incident has prompted major reviews of the government's intelligence sharing. White House spokesman Bill Burton disclosed the watch list updates Monday.President Barack Obama, who returned to Washington from his Hawaiian vacation, was meeting with his homeland security adviser on Monday. The deputy homeland security secretary was traveling to London on Monday to meet with officials on international aviation security.

TSA security directives are issued to the airlines to be carried out.

David Castelveter, spokesman for the Air Transport Association, which represents major U.S. air carriers, said he would not discuss any new TSA measures because doing so might compromise security. We are not having discussions about the measures or how they work or do not work, Castelveter said in an interview. He said the measures are being implemented with the least amount of customer inconvenience possible.If the security measures are not followed, the TSA can penalize the airlines, according to another TSA official who was not authorized to speak about the enforcement rules. The penalties could include warnings, fines and recalcitrant airlines could ultimately be barred from flying to the U.S.A Saudi security official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, says there are more security personnel at the airport in Riyadh. He had no other details.A spokesman for Pakistan International Airline said the company has instituted new security standards for U.S.-bound passengers. Passengers are subjected to special screening, including full body searches, in a designated area of the departure lounge, said the spokesman, Sultan Hasan. The airline has run advertisements in newspapers to advise passengers of the stepped-up security. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced Sunday that full body scanners would be introduced in British airports and officials in Amsterdam said last week they would begin using the scanners on passengers bound for the U.S. In the Yemeni capital, security personnel at the San'a airport were ordered to apply strict measures, including careful baggage examinations and patting down travelers, especially those departing for the United States as the final destination, an official said. The security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he is not allowed to talk about security measures to the media, said the airport was expecting to receive some new equipment to provide better security.

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

AP sources: Bomber at CIA base was a double agent By PAMELA HESS and ADAM GOLDMAN, Associated Press Writers – JAN 5,10

WASHINGTON – The suicide bomber who killed eight people inside a CIA base in Afghanistan claimed to have information about Osama bin Laden's second-in-command, and was being recruited as a double agent to infiltrate al-Qaida, a former senior U.S. intelligence official and a foreign government official confirmed Monday.The bombing killed seven CIA employees — four officers and three contracted security guards — and a Jordanian intelligence officer, Ali bin Zaid, according to a second former U.S. intelligence official. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the incident.The former senior intelligence official and the foreign official said the bomber was Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, a 36-year old doctor from Zarqa, Jordan, who had been recruited by Jordanian intelligence. Zarqa is the hometown of slain Al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. NBC News first reported the bomber's identity.He was arrested more than a year ago by Jordanian intelligence and was thought to have been persuaded to support U.S. and Jordanian efforts against al-Qaida, according to the NBC report. He was invited to Camp Chapman, a tightly secured CIA forward base in Khost province on the fractious Afghan-Pakistan frontier, because he was offering urgent information to track down Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama bin Laden's right-hand man.

The CIA declined to comment on the report.Hajj Yacoub, a self-proclaimed spokesman for the Taliban in Pakistan, identified the bomber on Muslim militant Web sites as Hammam Khalil Mohammed, also known as Abu-Dujana al-Khurasani. There was no independent confirmation of Yacoub's statement.Al-Balawi was not searched for bombs when he got onto Camp Chapman, according to both former officials and a current intelligence official.He detonated the explosive shortly after his debriefing began, according to one of the former intelligence officials. In addition to the eight dead, there were at least six wounded, according to the CIA.The bodies of seven CIA employees arrived Monday at Dover Air Force Base in a small private ceremony attended by CIA Director Leon Panetta, other agency and national security officials, and friends and family.The former senior intelligence official said one of the big unanswered questions is why so many people were present for the debriefing — the interview of the source — when the explosive was detonated.A half-dozen former CIA officers told The Associated Press that in most cases, only one or two agency officers would typically meet with a possible informant along with an interpreter. Such small meetings would normally be used to limit the danger and the possible exposure of the identities of both officers and informants.An online jihadist magazine in September 2009 posted an interview with al-Balawi, according to SITE Monitoring Service, a terrorist watch group that reads and translates messages on extremist forums.SITE said Monday that al-Balawi used his pseudonym — identified as Khorsani — in the postings, describing how he rose through the ranks of online jihadist forums. He said he went to Afghanistan to fight, and he exhorted others to do violence.No words are more eloquent than those proven by acts, so that if that Muslim survives, he will be one who proves his words with acts. If he dies in the Cause of Allah, he will grant his words glory that will be permanent marks on the path to guide to jihad, with permission from Allah, al-Balawi wrote, according to SITE's translation.

A Jordanian government official, who was not authorized to speak to the press, said the Jordanian government has no connection to the bomber. The official said the Jordanian government had not verified whether the bomber was Jordanian.The Taliban's Yacoub said the Jordanian intelligence officer, bin Zaid, was helping the CIA recruit agents to spy on al-Qaida in Afghanistan. Bin Zaid allegedly recruited the suicide bomber.Jordan's state news agency Petra identified bin Zaid as an army officer on a humanitarian mission in Afghanistan. It said he was killed Wednesday evening as a martyr while performing the sacred duty of the Jordanian forces in Afghanistan. It did not provide other details.The Jordanian military released a brief statement acknowledging bin Zaid had been killed in Afghanistan, but it did not mention he was working with Jordanian intelligence or cooperating with the CIA.

The death of bin Zaid underscored the close relationship between the Jordanian intelligence service and the CIA in the U.S. global war on terrorism. Jordan is known to have acted as a proxy jailer for the CIA in 2004, when Jordanian intelligence officers interrogated several al-Qaida militants who were flown in on rendition flights from Guantanamo Bay. A key U.S. ally in the Mideast, Jordan also contributed valuable intelligence data to the United States, which helped track down the former Al-Qaida in Iraq leader, Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, in 2006. Al-Zarqawi was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Iraq in June that year. Goldman reported from New York City. Associated Press writer Jamal Halaby in Amman, Jordan, contributed to this report.

Quake in Atlantic near S.Sandwich Islands: USGS
Tue Jan 5, 1:16 am ET

WASHINGTON (AFP) – A major 6.7-magnitude earthquake struck the southern Atlantic ocean early Tuesday east of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, a sparsely populated British territory, a US monitor said.The quake struck at 3:55 am (04:55 GMT) in waters 685 kilometers (425 miles) east of Bristol Island, part of an chain inhabited mainly by scientists on a series of bases, the US Geological Survey reported.The earthquake, about 2,800 kilometers (1,740 miles) east of the Falkland Islands, occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers (six miles) according to USGS.The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued an alert stating there was no threat of a destructive widespread tsunami, but warned there is the small possibility of a local or regional tsunami that could affect coasts near the epicenter.

Authorities assess damage after Solomons quake
Tue Jan 5, 2:43 am ET

HONIARA (AFP) – Authorities in the Solomon Islands said Tuesday around 1,000 people had been left homeless by powerful earthquakes and a tsunami which hit the isolated western region of the South Pacific nation.The National Disaster Management Office scaled back initial estimates that 500 homes had been destroyed or damaged in the worst affected areas on Rendova and Tetepare islands, which lie about 300 kilometres (186 miles) west of the capital Honiara.Aftershocks continued into Tuesday following Monday's largest quake, with a magnitude of 7.2, which set off a tsunami estimated to be up to eight feet (almost 2.5 metres) in height in some areas.Disaster management office spokesman Julian Makaa said there had still been no reports of serious injuries or deaths from the region.Makaa said initial reports of damage had been checked and estimates scaled back.Since yesterday, we've reduced that figure after we verified some of the earlier reports and we think it's much less, he said, adding it could be days before more accurate figures were available.Two patrol boats carrying relief supplies were due to arrive in the affected area later Tuesday.One man interviewed by Solomon Islands' One Television station said Monday's powerful quake had caused widespread panic on Rendova island, forcing people to flee from coastal communities.

But large landslips on the hillsides made it difficult for many people to move inland, he added.The memory of a April 2007 tsunami, which followed an 8.1 quake, was still fresh in many people's memories. That disaster killed 52 people, destroyed hundreds of homes and left thousands homeless.Rendova is home to around 3,600 people, according to the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), which is rebuilding 19 schools on the island following the 2007 tsunami.UNICEF Pacific representative Isiye Ndombi said rapid response teams had been sent to Rendova and Tetepare, a largely uninhabited island except for an eco-tourism venture.Solomon Islands police said 10 foreign tourists -- none of whom was hurt -- had been evacuated from Tetepare.The disaster management office warned local communities the aftershocks from the earthquakes were expected to continue for about three days.

1,000 people homeless on Solomons after tsunami
JAN 5,10

HONIARA, Solomon Islands – Landslides and a tsunami destroyed the homes of about one-third of the population on a Solomon Island, but lives were likely spared as residents with memories of previous disasters fled quickly to higher ground, officials said Tuesday.From the air, extensive damage could be seen on a remote western island after a 7.2-magnitude temblor triggered the landslides in the Pacific Solomon Islands on Monday, said disaster management office director Loti Yates.No injuries have been reported some 30 hours after the biggest in a series of quakes churned a tsunami wave that was up to 10 feet (3 meters) high as it plowed into the coast, officials said.However, more than 1,000 people have been affected after some 200 houses were destroyed on Rendova, an island some 190 miles (300 kilometers) from the capital Honiara. Only 3,600 people live on Rendova.Photographs taken from police helicopters Tuesday showed debris lining the foreshore and damaged houses on the coasts of Rendova and Tetepare, as well as deep scars on hills and cliffs caused by landslides.Hillsides crashed down and the tsunami inundated homes Monday, but residents' memories of earlier disasters probably helped prevent any casualties, officials and residents said.In April 2007, an 8.1 temblor unleashed a tsunami that killed more than 50 people. A quake-churned tsunami that killed more than 200 on nearby Samoa and Tonga in September was another reminder, locals said.People are very sensitive, as a quake conjures up memories, and people immediately begin going to higher ground, police commissioner Peter Marshall told The Associated Press.The fact it was daylight, the isolated nature of the wave and that the landslides were in a relatively sparsely populated area also helped, he said.

The largest quake — magnitude 7.2 — happened about 9:30 a.m. local time Monday and caused the tsunami to hit the coast a short time later. At least nine other quakes greater than magnitude 5.0 have rocked the earthquake-prone region since.In the provincial capital Gizo, dive shop owner Danny Kennedy said the general rule is that if there's anything more than 20 seconds of shaking or any sea water recedes, head for the hills.A police boat patrolled Tuesday to check the coastline, where many homes are at sea level, making them vulnerable to tsunamis, National Disaster Management Office spokesman Julian Makaa said. No casualties had been reported so far, he said.One village, Retavo, home to about 20 people, was reportedly completely inundated by a wall of sea water up to 10 feet (3 meters) high, but Makaa said no deaths or injuries had been reported there.

Emergency food, water and tarpaulins were being shipped in.The Solomon Islands lie on the Ring of Fire — an arc of earthquake and volcanic zones that stretches around the Pacific Rim and where about 90 percent of the world's quakes occur.Associated Press writer Ray Lilley contributed to this report from Wellington, New Zealand.

South chilled by Arctic winds, record snow in East By JEFFREY COLLINS, Associated Press Writer – JAN 5,10

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Bitter cold and snow sweeping into the eastern U.S left part of New England under record snowfall and hit Southerners with subfreezing temperatures that farmers fear could destroy strawberries and other crops.The deep freeze was expected to last for at least the rest of the week. The National Weather Service said the mercury could fall below zero in St. Louis later this week for the first time since 1999.The duration of the cold snap is unusual, especially in the South, where the weather is typically chilly for just a day or two before temperatures rebound into the 50s.Waves of Arctic air pushed into central Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, where farmers were scrambling to save strawberries and tomatoes as temperatures dipped into the 20s and wind chills into the teens. Hard freeze warnings covered the region Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

Charleston, S.C., was expecting subfreezing overnight lows all week. Parts of West Virginia could see 4 to 8 inches of snow by Wednesday morning, and many counties canceled school Tuesday ahead of the storm. A dusting of snow fell in western and central Kentucky overnight, heralding 3 to 5 inches expected in those areas, with some locally heavier amounts.Record snows were reported over the weekend in Vermont. In Burlington, a storm dumped more than 33 inches, breaking a single-storm record of nearly 30 inches set in 1969.Most took it in stride, but some took it too far: Vermont State Police cited a man after stopping him pulling a sled — with a rider in it — behind his car on Interstate 89 on Sunday. He was cited for driving with a suspended license.It was a similar scene in upstate New York, where so-called lake effect snow blanketed parts of the state with more than 3 feet. More was expected in the region Tuesday.Forecasters say snow will continue to fall on parts of northeast Ohio that already have two feet or more on the ground.In Maine, the search continued for an 18-year-old snowmobiler who disappeared shortly after the storm started Friday night, and a small plane crashed into a river channel there Monday after reporting ice buildup on the wings.A search resumed for a 7-year-old boy who fell through ice into a river in southern Wisconsin while sledding with friends Monday.

The weather caused hundreds of school closings and delays in Arkansas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and the North Carolina mountains.In Nashville, Tenn., where the overnight low was 12 degrees, police believe an 81-year-old man with Alzheimer's Disease wandered outside in his bathrobe and froze to death, The Tennessean reported. His body was found early Monday.Wrecks on icy roads killed at least two other people. A woman died near Mount Nebo, W.Va., when a pickup hit the van she was riding in Sunday. And in Washington, D.C., a man died after his car ran off the road Sunday and plunged under a sheet of ice covering a creek.Homeless shelters, especially in the Southeast, braced for a crush of people and said they would not turn anyone away.Reginald Richardson of Columbia hates shelters but said this might be the week he caves in and spends a few nights.Yes, Lord, it has been cold, said the 55-year-old, who has been homeless on and off for the past 25 years. It got so cold last night, I thought about sleeping in a trash can.Instead, he stayed in a hospital lobby for a few hours until he fell asleep and was kicked out into the 20-degree weather. In Oakland, Md., about 1,400 homes lost power with temperatures near zero. Many people shivered through the night until crews using torches could thaw frozen switching equipment, Allegheny Power spokesman Todd Myers said. Todd Shaffer, 33, borrowed a blanket from his parents next door. I woke up in the middle of the night still shivering,he said. Two boilers at a state prison in Union Springs, Ala., stopped working over the weekend, said Department of Corrections spokesman Brian Corbett. He said one of the boilers should be repaired later Monday or Tuesday and a replacement boiler should be online by Wednesday. Portable heaters are being used but don't address a lack of hot water at the prison that houses about 1,300 inmates, he said. Temperatures Monday night were expected in the high teens.

In Florida, farmers prepared for a long week trying to protect their crops. In Polk County — between Tampa and Orlando — temperatures were in the high 20s and strawberry farmers turned on sprinklers to create an insulation of ice for the berries. The problem now is that we have a weeklong freeze predicted, said Ted Campbell, executive director for the Florida Strawberry Growers Association.It's an endurance test.Parts of central Florida could see lows below freezing nearly every day this week. Even Key West isn't immune. Temperatures there the next couple of days are expected to barely creep above 60 degrees with a stiff north wind — nowhere near average highs in the 70s that draw winter tourists. Places like Birmingham, Ala., and Charlotte, N.C., will see temperatures above freezing for just a couple of hours a day all week long. Many Southern homes aren't built to handle that type of cold, with uninsulated pipes and heat pumps that will have to run all the time just to keep things barely comfortable. The phones were already ringing off the hook Monday at an agency in Greenville, S.C., that uses federal grants to help people with their heating bills. I'm very worried, especially for those who are not accustomed to seeking assistance,said program coordinator Betty Cox. Firefighters are also bracing for more calls this week. Five people died in a fire Friday in rural Plymouth, Mo., likely caused by an unattended fireplace, while three people were killed Saturday in Honea Path, S.C., when either a space heater or a stove started a fire in a mobile home. It's cold and folks are trying to do whatever it takes to stay warm,said David Berry, a volunteer fire chief in Alabama. Contributing to this report were David Dishneau in Hagerstown, Md.; John Curran in Montpelier, Vt.; Tamara Lush in Tampa, Fla.; and John Raby in Charleston, W.Va.

Maritimes recover after weather bomb Last Updated: Monday, January 4, 2010 | 1:48 PM AT CBC News

An employee from NB Power stands near displaced cottages in Upper Cape near Port Elgin, N.B., after a powerful storm pummelled the Maritimes over the weekend. (Andrew Vaughan/Canadian Press)East Coast residents are cleaning up after a powerful weekend storm that killed at least three people.The storm in the Maritimes has since eased and warnings have been dropped for the area, which is now facing winds, light snow and rain over the next 36 hours.CBC meteorologist Johanna Wagstaffe said the storm tracked across Canada and had moved into Ontario by New Year's Eve. But by the time it hit the East Coast, it had picked up moisture and wind strength, and turned into a weather bomb.A weather bomb is when you get a low-pressure system that all of a sudden strengthens dramatically, she said.And that's exactly what happened when this low-pressure system just got to the coast and basically just picked up all of that water.Over the weekend, Yarmouth, N.S., received about 65 centimetres of snow, with some areas of New Brunswick hit with close to 30 cm.The snow was accompanied by powerful winds, knocking out power for thousands of people in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

Hurricane strength
Grand Étang, N.S., recorded gusts of up to 163 km/h, which is equivalent to a Category 2 hurricane.An 83-year-old man who was found dead outside his Nova Scotia home Sunday likely fell and may have been caught out in the storm overnight, the RCMP said.A 54-year-old man in Three Fathom Harbour, N.S., is believed to have succumbed to carbon monoxide fumes Sunday from a generator used for heat during a power outage and a woman died in Stratford, P.E.I., after being struck in a parking lot by a snow-removal vehicle.Meanwhile, the residents of Port Elgin, N.B., were recovering from the storm surge that flooded the village and forced the evacuation of 25 families from their homes over the weekend. The southeastern New Brunswick village called a state of emergency Saturday.Terry Murphy, who is also the village's emergency measures co-ordinator, said the weekend flooding was the worst that he's seen in the 62 years that he's lived in Port Elgin.Murphy said he isn't sure if he'll be able to salvage anything from his cottage after the damage.It looked like Afghanistan, where somebody put a bomb there and just picked everything up and threw it all around, Murphy said.Cottages were opened up, buckled, destroyed. My brother-in-law's cottage, [the storm] tore the sun porch off, moved it back into a tree — it's destroyed.Art Holmes, who owns a cottage at Indian Point near Port Elgin, said a friend called him to report the damage inflicted on his cottage.Holmes said his cottage was pushed by the ice and water about 30 metres up the road.
It was shocking. ... I figured I would get some water damage but I never figured anything like this,Holmes said.

Water in kitchen
In Cow Bay, N.S., Vernon and Betty Baker were assessing the damage to their home. They were about to settle in and watch a movie Saturday night when the ocean crept into their driveway.Vernon moved the truck to higher ground, but soon realized the situation was getting worse.Three minutes later, I had eight or nine inches [20.3 or 22.9 cm] of water coming in across the kitchen floor, he said.The couple decided to leave. Vernon said his wife had to wade through water up to her waist to get to the truck. He then went back into the house to shut off the power.

The Bakers stayed with their daughter in Cole Harbour.

Several other homes in the Cow Bay area were flooded. Some residents told CBC News they hadn't seen that much water on the street since Hurricane Juan in 2003.The storm also wreaked havoc for travellers, making roads treacherous and causing flight cancellations and delays.

Malaysia appeals Allah for Christians ruling
Mon Jan 4, 8:28 am ET

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Malaysia's government filed an appeal Monday to fight a court ruling that allowed non-Muslims to use the word Allah to refer to God, a decision that triggered protests in the Muslim-majority country.The government says Allah is an Islamic word and its use by others would mislead Muslims, implying it could be used to convert them to other religions. Allah, an Arabic word, predates Islam and is used by Arabic-speaking Christians in places such as Egypt and Syria.

Protests by Muslim groups, although peaceful, have raised fears of friction between the Malay Muslim majority and the large ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities, who mainly practice Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism.Religious minorities and some moderate Muslims have welcomed the High Court decision as a victory against what they say is institutionalized religious discrimination here.Authorities deny any discrimination, but recently confiscated 10,000 copies of Malay-language Bibles containing the word Allah.The Home Ministry is seeking a reversal of the Dec. 31 court decision and will ask for the High Court's ruling to be suspended until the appeal is decided, said government lawyer Kamaluddin Mohammad Said.

Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday advised people to be calm.

I think we should have faith in the government leadership to tackle the problem. We don't want a situation where the court decision can cause anger and tension between the various races in the country, he told reporters.The ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed in late 2007 by The Herald, the Roman Catholic Church's main publication in Malaysia. The government ban on the use of the word Allah had affected The Herald's Malay-language edition, read mostly by indigenous tribes who converted to Christianity decades ago.Efforts by Christians to use Allah in Malay-language literature have been perceived by some Muslims as a plot to convert Malay Muslims to Christianity, Anas Zubedy, a popular Muslim blogger on social and political issues, wrote after the court verdict, adding his support of the ruling.

Australia suffers hottest decade as globe warms
Tue Jan 5, 2:22 am ET

SYDNEY (AFP) – Australia has sweltered through its hottest decade on record, officials said Tuesday, linking a rise in heatwaves, drought, dust storms and extreme wildfires with global warming.The Bureau of Meteorology also said 2009 was the second warmest year since detailed records began in 1910, with an annual mean temperature almost one degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) above average.Senior climatologist Dean Collins said the average for the decade -- about 22.3 degrees Celsius (72.1 Fahrenheit) -- was 0.48 degrees Celsius (0.89 F) above Australia's 1961-1990 benchmark average and an indication of man-made global warming.For the past six decades, each decade has been warmer than the preceding one, Collins told AFP.To get six, seven decades in a row that are warmer than the previous one -- it doesn't happen by chance. It's reflecting what's happening at the global level.

Collins said while the higher temperatures were partly caused by an El Nino event in the Pacific -- a weather effect associated with drier conditions -- they had been superimposed on human-induced global warming.Australia experienced three record-breaking heatwaves around the country in 2009, a highly unusual event which Collins said was consistent with global warming.Global warming increases the chance of getting heatwaves like that but we can't categorically say it wouldn't have happened without global warming, he said.All we can really say is that global warming has increased the chance of getting those kinds of events.The bureau expects more of the same in 2010, with a bias towards warm weather in the first three months of the year, Collins said.Australia began 2009 with uncomfortably hot temperatures in the country's south with extreme heatwaves in Victoria and the island of Tasmania.The bureau said these conditions contributed to the so-called Black Saturday bushfires in which 173 people perished as firestorms levelled entire villages, destroying more than 2,000 homes.

An unusual winter heatwave hit large parts of inland Australia mid-year and resulted in the country's warmest August on record, while another hot spell in November broke records in South Australia and New South Wales.Based on the analysis of daily (maximum and minimum) temperature data above and below set thresholds, there are clear upward trends in the number of hot events and downward trends in the number of cold events (over the period 1960 to date), consistent with the background of global warming, the bureau said.According to the World Meteorological Organization, 2009 was the fifth warmest year for the planet on record.
