STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES
LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.
Hurricane Irene Looks Terrifying From Space, Astronaut Says SPACE.comBy Tariq Malik , SPACE.com Managing Editor Space.com | SPACE.com – AUG 2611
Hurricane Irene is bearing down on the U.S. East Coast and has turned into a frightening storm, according to an astronaut on the International Space Station.
NASA astronaut Mike Fossum said that Hurricane Irene, like all hurricanes, looks terrifying from above, and its evolution into a major storm this week has been unmistakable from orbit.We saw a big change in the structure of the storm over the several days that we've watched her, especially yesterday, Fossum told SPACE.com today (Aug. 25) during a video interview from space.Hurricane Irene is currently a Category 3 storm with winds of 115 mph (185 kph) that is battering the Bahamas. Space station astronauts and satellites have kept a constant watch on the growing storm. [Photos: Hurricane Irene Views From Space]The storm is expected to hit the North Carolina coast on Saturday (Aug. 27) and follow the coastline north, where it may make landfall on Long Island, posing a threat to New York City, according to OurAmazingPlanet, a sister site of SPACE.com.Fossum, a native of Texas who has seen many hurricanes from the ground and space, said that two days ago the eye of Hurricane Irene wasn't as stable as it appears now. The storm has grown more organized and uniform as this week wore on, he added.
There's kind of a dome shape to the whole thing, with the eye fully formed, Fossum said. Yesterday you could see the eye wall and down into the eye itself. You know that is a powerful storm, and those are never good news when they're headed your way. So our prayers and thoughts are with the people in its path.Fossum is one of six astronauts living aboard the International Space Station and is in the middle of a six-month spaceflight. His crewmate Ron Garan, also of NASA, has been posting photos of Irene from orbit each day as the space station has been flying over the huge storm.NASA is also broadcasting live views of Hurricane Irene from the space station when the orbiting lab sails over the storm.

Irene's first rains reach threatened US East Coast
APBy MITCH WEISS - Associated Press | AP – AUG 26,11
NAGS HEAD, N.C. (AP) — Hurricane Irene's rains began reaching the U.S. East Coast on Friday ahead of a weekend of punishing weather from the Carolinas to as far north as Massachusetts, with at least 65 million people in the storm's path.Rain began falling along the coasts of North and South Carolina as Irene trudged toward the U.S. from the Bahamas. Thousands already were without power Friday morning as the storm's outer bands began raking South Carolina.Swells from the hurricane and 6- to 9-foot waves were showing up in North Carolina's Outer Banks early Friday, and winds were expected to begin picking up later in the day, said Hal Austin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.Meanwhile, the hurricane warning area was expanded and now covered a large chunk of the East Coast from North Carolina to Sandy Hook, N.J., which is south of New York City. A hurricane watch extended even farther north and included Long Island, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, Mass.For hundreds of miles, millions of people along the densely populated East Coast warily waited Friday for a dangerous hurricane that has the potential to inflict billions of dollars in damage anywhere within that urban sprawl that arcs from Washington and Baltimore through Philadelphia, New York, Boston and beyond.Irene also could push crude oil prices higher if it disrupts refineries in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia, which produce nearly 8 percent of U.S. gasoline and diesel fuel.Irene weakened slightly Friday, dropping down to a Category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds near 110 mph (175 kph). But some re-strengthening was possible as Irene moved over energizing Atlantic waters, and the storm was expected to be near the threshold between a Category 2 and 3 storm as it reached North Carolina's coast early Saturday morning, the National Hurricane Center said.
In North Carolina, traffic was steady Friday as people left the Outer Banks. Tourists were ordered to leave the barrier islands Thursday, and many residents were following as ordered Friday.At a gas station in Nags Head, Pete Reynolds said he wanted to make sure he had enough fuel for the long trip. The retired 68-year-old teacher spent part of Thursday getting his house ready for the hurricane. Now, he and his wife, Susan, were heading to New Jersey area to stay with their son's family.
We felt like we would be OK and we could ride out the storm, said Reynolds, who lives in Nags Head. But when they announced mandatory evacuations, I knew it was serious.Speaking Friday on CBS' The Early Show, North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue said the state has Highway Patrol Troopers, the Red Cross and National Guardsmen in place to deal with the storm's aftermath. But she warned coastal residents not to risk waiting out the storm and hoping for help after it passed.You can't count on that. Folks need to decide that they need to get out now,she said.North Carolina was just first in line along the Eastern Seaboard — home to some of the nation's most heavily populated areas and priciest real estate. Besides major cities, sprawling suburban bedroom communities, ports, airports, highway networks, cropland and beachfront neighborhoods are in harm's way.One of my greatest nightmares was having a major hurricane go up the whole Northeast coast, Max Mayfield, the National Hurricane Center's retired director, told The Associated Press on Thursday as the storm lurched toward the U.S. This is going to be a real challenge. ... There's going to be millions of people affected.The hurricane would be the strongest to strike the East Coast in seven years, and people were already getting out of the way.
The center of the storm was still about 375 miles (600 kilometers) south-southwest of Cape Hatteras, N.C., and moving north at 14 mph (22 kph).Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers were told Thursday to pack a bag and be prepared to move elsewhere. The nation's biggest city hasn't seen a hurricane in decades.Farther south, tens of thousands packed up and left North Carolina beach towns and farmers pulled up their crops.North Carolina farmer Wilson Daughtry has lost count of how many times his crops have been wiped out by storms that regularly blow up from the tropics.That's the price of living in paradise, he said of a fertile farm belt that's weathered an unusually hot and dry summer. Any deluge from Irene's rain bands could wipe out many crops just when they are ready for harvesting.The most recent figures show coastal North Carolina's fields earned nearly $6.3 billion in farm income in 2009 alone from its tobacco, corn and other crops.Risks are many from Irene's wrath: surging seas, drenching rains, flash floods and high winds are all possibilities the Federal Emergency Management Agency director wasn't counting out.We're going to have damages, we just don't know how bad, Craig Fugate told the AP as FEMA readied plans in many states. This is one of the largest populations that will be impacted by one storm at one time.The latest forecasts had Irene crashing up the North Carolina coastline Saturday, then churning up the East while drenching areas from Virginia to New York City before a much-weakened storm reaches New England.Even if the winds aren't strong enough to damage buildings in a metropolis made largely of brick, concrete and steel, a lot of New York's subway system and other infrastructure is underground and subject to flooding in the event of an unusually strong storm surge or heavy rains, authorities said.New York City's two airports also are close to the water and could be inundated, as could densely packed neighborhoods, if the storm pushes ocean water into the city's waterways, officials said. The city had a brush with a tropical storm, Hanna, in 2008 that dumped 3 inches of rain in Manhattan.
All told, Irene could cause billions of dollars in damage or more along the Eastern Seaboard in a worst-case scenario, said Kathleen Tierney, director of the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado.In the last 200 years, New York has seen only a few significant hurricanes. In September of 1821, a hurricane raised tides by 13 feet in an hour and flooded all of Manhattan south of Canal Street, the southernmost tip of the city. The area now includes Wall Street and the World Trade Center memorial.New England is also unaccustomed to direct hits from hurricanes. Lobsterman Greg Griffin, who fishes from Portland, Maine, still recalls getting clobbered by Hurricane Gloria in 1985 and said this one is not to be ignored after years without a large, dangerous storm.We have a young generation of lobstermen who've never experienced a full-blown hurricane, Griffin said.The first U.S. injuries from Irene appeared to be in South Florida near West Palm Beach, where eight people were washed off a jetty Thursday by a large wave churned up by the storm.In Washington, Irene dashed hopes of dedicating a 30-foot sculpture to the late Martin Luther King Jr. on the National Mall on Sunday with the help of President Barack Obama. While a direct strike on the nation's capital appeared slim, organizers said the forecasts of wind and heavy rain made it too dangerous to summon a throng they initially expected to number up to 250,000.Heavy rain and possible floods were big worries in the Northeast. The potential for flooding and wind damage are Irene's greatest threats to Rhode Island, still smarting from the 2010 spring floods that devastated parts of the Ocean State.In Connecticut, Gov. Daniel P. Malloy declared a state of emergency and warned there could be prolonged power outages if Irene dumps up to a foot of rain on already saturated ground as some fear. He said emergency responders must be ready to evacuate heavily developed areas.
We are a much more urban state than we were in 1938, he said, referring to the year that the so-called Long Island Express hurricane killed 600 people and caused major damage with 17-foot storm surges and high winds.The urban population explosion in recent decades also worries New Jersey officials. Gov. Chris Christie encouraged anyone on that state's built-up shoreline to prepare to leave. One of the popular casinos in Atlantic City had already closed Friday, and several others planned to shut down later in the day.The beach community of Ocean City, Md., was taking no chances, ordering thousands to leave.This is not a time to get out the camera and sit on the beach and take pictures of the waves,said Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.

Monsoon rains trigger floods, kill 33 in Pakistan
AP By RIAZ KHAN, Associated Press – Fri Aug 26, 12:49 am ET
PESHAWAR, Pakistan – Flash floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains swept through a village in northwestern Pakistan, killing 33 people and leaving dozens others missing, disaster management officials said Friday.The floods hit the remote Kundian Valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province Wednesday, destroying houses and other infrastructure, said Syed Asghar Ali Shah, the acting head of disaster management in the province.Rescue and relief operations have been hampered by bridges and roads that were damaged last year in the worst flooding in Pakistan's history and have not been fixed, said Shah. Authorities sent two helicopters to help with the operations Thursday and hope to send another Friday, he said.At least 33 people have been killed, and 38 others are still missing, including eight children, said Adnan Khan, spokesman for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's disaster management agency.Heavy rains are expected to continue in the area for at least another 24 hours, according to Pakistan's meteorological department.Monsoon rains begin in July in Pakistan and often lead to flooding. The floods that hit last year inundated about one-fifth of the country — an area the size of the United Kingdom — and affected up to 20 million people.Experts have warned that many citizens are more vulnerable to flooding this year because they have not recovered from last year's tragedy.
EARTHQUAKES
MATTHEW 24:7-8
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
MARK 13:8
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:(ETHNIC GROUP AGAINST ETHNIC GROUP) and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
LUKE 21:11
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Three earthquakes in three days. More than coincidence? First came an earthquake in Colorado. Then Virginia's quake shook the US from South Carolina to New England. Finally, San Francisco had a rattler as well. Are they connected? Christian Science MonitorBy By Brad Knickerbocker | Christian Science Monitor – Wed, Aug 24, 2011
Colorado, Virginia, California: three earthquakes across the United States in three days. Aside from the apocalyptic questions some are raising, was this more than an earth-trembling coincidence? Or was there some scientific connection between these three events? First there was the magnitude 5.3 earthquake near Trinidad, Colo., the largest earthquake in the state since 1973. Then a magnitude 5.8 quake centered in Mineral, Va., jarred a region from Charleston, S.C. to Boston. Finally, there was a relatively mild 3.6 rattler in the San Francisco area Tuesday night.What’s going on here? Experts say that while the Colorado and East Coast earthquakes were unusual, the first one did not trigger the second. Nor did the San Francisco quake have anything to do with the two that preceded it.They really are unrelated, says Meredith Nettles, a seismologist at Columbia University. There really is no causal connection.This is pure coincidence, concurs San Diego State University seismologist Tom Rockwell.That’s because small earthquakes don’t change the state of stress very much in the crust of the earth, so the effects will be only local, he says.While this week’s earthquakes made news – with earthquake tremors and hurricane Irene on the way, some people in North Carolina wondered if a plague of locusts was next – the earth’s shake-rattle-and-roll is going on all around us almost constantly.In just the past week in the US alone, there were about 700 earthquakes perceptible to detection equipment. And as the US Geological Survey puts it, there's a 100 percent chance of an earthquake today somewhere in the world.
This map shows the earthquakes around the world in the past week, and this map focuses on North America. It's clear that most seismic activity is around the Pacific Rim.More than 700 earthquakes a year around the world may be sufficiently strong to cause property damage, death, and injury, according to the USGS, but fortunately, most of these potentially destructive earthquakes center in unpopulated areas far from civilization.One of the largest recent earthquakes (magnitude 6.8) occurred July 31 near the north coast of Papua New Guinea. (Because they’re figured logarithmically, a 6.8 quake has ten times the amplitude of a 5.8 one.)[UPDATE: A magnitude 6.8 earthquake hit a remote area of Peru near the border with Brazil Wednesday. There were no reports of damage or injuries, according to the Associated Press.]Though aftershocks can be expected to occur, even larger earthquakes are unlikely to trigger major events elsewhere, according to a report in the journal Nature Geoscience last year.Based on the evidence we’ve seen in our research, we don't think that large, global earthquake clusters are anything more than coincidence, said Tom Parsons, USGS geophysicist and author of the study.Earthquakes in the central and eastern United States, although less frequent than in the West, typically are felt over a much broader region.East of the Rockies, an earthquake can be felt over an area as much as 10 times larger than a similar magnitude earthquake on the West Coast,according to the USGS. A magnitude 5.5 eastern US earthquake usually can be felt as far as 300 miles from where it occurred, and sometimes causes damage as far away as 25 miles.
As San Diego State University's Dr. Rockwell explains it, that’s because of the difference in earth’s crust on the two US coasts: the West is mushier and more broken up, the East is old granite.Using a sound metaphor, Rockwell likens the West’s crust to a block of wood, the East to a brass bell with the sound of the bell heard much farther away.Seismic energy gets transmitted farther and stronger with high-quality rock, he says.Related to this, Columbia University's Dr. Nettles notes that it probably was a good thing that the Virginia quake was located between populated areas. If you’re going to have an earthquake of this size on the East Coast, that was a pretty good place to have it.

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

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

World stocks unsteady ahead of Bernanke speech
APBy CARLO PIOVANO - AP Business Writer | AP – AUG 26,11
LONDON (AP) — World stock markets were unsteady on Friday as jittery investors waited to see whether Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke would promise new steps to help the U.S. economy ward off another recession.Bernanke is due to deliver a highly anticipated speech at a conference later Friday in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Although expectations that he might offer more stimulus have receded this week, any sign that he is considering such a move would boost markets.The Fed has already pledged low interest rates through to 2013. Some central bank watchers say the Fed has reached the limits of what a central bank can do to aid an economy that is beleaguered by problems that monetary policy can't fix — high unemployment and massive government debt.The market is very volatile on low trading volume. Any news can be a big thing, said Jackson Wong, vice president at Tanrich Securities in Hong Kong.European shares were lower in early trading. Britain's FTSE 100 dropped 0.4 percent to 5,113.22 while Germany's DAX shed 1.2 percent to 5,519.74 and France's CAC-40 slipped 0.6 percent to 3,101.63.Wall Street was nevertheless set to open slightly higher, with Dow futures up 0.2 percent at 11,148 and S&P 500 futures 0.2 percent higher at 1,159.90.In Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 swung between gains and losses throughout the day before closing with a 0.3 percent gain at 8,797.78. South Korea's Kospi rose 0.8 percent after a volatile morning to 1,778.95.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng gave up early gains and fell 0.9 percent to 19,582.88. Benchmarks in Australia, Singapore and the Philippines were also lower while stocks in mainland China were mixed.Worries that the U.S. could be headed for another recession have in recent weeks caused huge volatility in equities, bonds and foreign exchange.On Thursday, Germany's main index suffered a flash slide — about 4 percent in 15 minutes — that analysts and traders were at a loss to explain but which dented investor confidence in other global markets.That sentiment will be tested by the U.S. Commerce Department's release of economic figures — it is expected to lower its estimate of April-June economic growth to 1.1 percent from 1.3 percent.Bank stocks, however, got a boost after billionaire investor Warren Buffett said he would invest $5 billion in troubled Bank of America, the largest U.S. bank.Mainland Chinese shares were mixed with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index edging 0.1 percent lower to 2,612.19, after dipping almost 1 percent earlier in the day. The smaller Shenzhen Composite Index gained 0.3 percent to 1,169.95.In currency trading, the euro rose to $1.4433 from $1.4368 late in New York on Thursday. The dollar slipped to 77.01 yen from 77.55 yen.Benchmark oil for October delivery was down 38 cents to $84.92 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude rose 14 cents to finish at $85.30 on Thursday. In London, Brent crude for October delivery was down 44 cents to $110.18 on the ICE Futures exchange.Traders are watching the violence in Libya for any signs that the country might stabilize and start working on restoring some of the 1.6 million barrels of oil it used to produce before its civil war erupted.Together with fears of a global economic slowdown, the prospect has weighed on oil prices.Pamela Sampson in Bangkok and Fu Ting in Shanghai contributed to this report.

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
NATO attacks pro-Gadhafi forces near Sirte AP By HADEEL AL-SHALCHI - Associated Press,KARIN LAUB - Associated Press | AUG 26,11
TRIPOLI (AP) — British warplanes struck a large bunker Friday in Moammar Gadhafi's hometown of Sirte, his largest remaining stronghold, as NATO turned its attention to loyalist forces battling advancing Libyan rebels in the area.The airstrikes came a day after fierce clashes erupted in the Libyan capital, which remained tense as rebels hunted for the elusive leader and his allies. Pro-Gadhafi forces were shelling the airport and sporadic shooting was reported elsewhere, but the streets of Tripoli were relatively calm on Friday.The military alliance said NATO warplanes targeted 29 vehicles mounted with weapons near the city, which is 250 miles (400 kilometers) east of the Libyan capital of Tripoli. Rebels are trying to occupy Sirte but expect fierce resistance from tribesman and townspeople loyal to Gadhafi.The rebel leadership, apparently trying to avoid the bloodshed that occurred in the battle for Tripoli, has been trying to secure the peaceful surrender of Sirte, but the two main tribes have rejected negotiation efforts.Gadhafi denied his people basic rights, cracked down harshly on any hint of dissent and squandered the country's vast oil and gas wealth on nations and tribes across sub-Saharan Africa.
But tribal loyalties are strong in the desert nation of 6 million people. Gadhafi also seeded supporters in key posts and built up militias and armed revolutionary committees to be the final line of support for him and his powerful sons if the regular military forces defected.Gadhafi has tried to rally his followers from hiding, calling on them in an audio appeal as recently as Thursday to fight and kill the rebels.The two main tribes in Sirte, the Gadhadhfa and the Urfali, remain loyal to the Libyan leader, although many others have disavowed him since the uprising began in mid-February, inspired by a wave of revolutions in Egypt, Tunisia and other Arab countries.Mohammed al-Rajali, a spokesman for opposition fighters fighting Gadhafi loyalists in the east, said the rebels were trying to reach out to smaller tribes in Sirte but no progress had been made.We cannot reach the tribes with which we can negotiate, he told The Associated Press.But the latest NATO airstrikes on loyalist vehicles defending Sirte appeared aimed at paving the way for the rebel advance if a negotiated settlement proves impossible.In London, British Defense Secretary Liam Fox said some elements of the Gadhafi regime were in Sirte where they are still continuing to wage war on the people of Libya. He said NATO would continue to strike at the Gadhafi forces' military capability.The regime needs to recognize that the game is up,Fox said.Maj. Gen. Nick Pope, a British military spokesman, said royal Air Force jets also hit a large headquarters bunker in Sirte with a salvo of air-to-surface missiles.NATO also bombed surface-to-air missile facilities near Tripoli, a statement said. Officials say Gadhafi's forces are trying to reconstitute their anti-aircraft weapons to pose a threat to humanitarian and civilian flights into Tripoli airport.
The airport was under rebel control but faced regular shelling from pro-Gadhafi forces to the east. At least three planes were burned in heavy shelling overnight, although the airport otherwise appeared largely intact, with a dozen other passenger planes on the tarmac.NATO is bombing those guys but they are still shelling from the east of the airport. They have totally destroyed three airplanes but hit others, Nasser Amer, a civil aviation official told the AP. Amer, a former pilot from Benghazi, traveled to Tripoli on Thursday to try to get the airport running again.The rebels, meanwhile, were searching for the remnants of pro-Gadhafi forces in buildings in the Abu Salim neighborhood, which saw some of the heaviest fighting on Thursday.Seven detained men and one woman were sitting in a pickup truck in a rural area between Abu Salim and the airport.Rebel field commander Sathi Shneibi said there was suspicion that Gadhafi forces were trying to blend in with the civilian population.Things are still not stable and we are arresting anybody we find suspicious and taking them to the military council,he said.Meanwhile, dozens of decomposing bodies were piled up in an abandoned hospital in Tripoli, a grim testament to the chaos roiling the capital as Libyan rebels clash with pro-Gadhafi forces.The four-story hospital was in the Abu Salim neighborhood, which has seen some of the heaviest fighting this week, although the facility was empty and it could not be determined when the men had been killed. The floors were covered with shattered glass and bloodstains, and medical equipment was strewn about.
One hospital room had 21 bodies lying on gurneys, while 20 others were in the hospital's courtyard next to the parking lot — all of them darker skinned than most Libyans, covered with blankets. Gadhafi had recruited fighters from sub-Saharan Africa.With Gadhafi still on the run and vowing to fight to the death, the rebels have struggled to take complete control of the Libya capital after sweeping into the city on Sunday. The fight in Abu Salim has been particularly bloody.Bursts of gunfire were heard coming from an area near the neighborhood before daybreak Friday. Smoke rose from the area but a rebel at the scene early Friday said the fighting in Abu Salim had ended by nightfall Thursday.Men believed to be Gadhafi supporters or fighters were left moaning and calling for water at a clinic attached to a fire station in Abu Salim. Curious men from the neighborhood climbed stairs to look at the men, but none offered help.One of the wounded said he was from Niger and denied any links to Gadhafi. Asked why he was in Libya, he said, I really don't know. He did not give his name.Gadhafi had recruited fighters from sub-Saharan Africa, and many others are in Libya as migrant workers. In the turmoil since the rebellion broke out, migrant workers from southern Africa have been harassed.Associated Press reporters flagged down a cab to take some of the wounded from the clinic to a hospital. The driver at first agreed, but men from the neighborhood intervened, saying the men would have to be interrogated before they could be moved.The opposition's National Transitional Council, meanwhile, moved forward with efforts to establish political control, announcing it is moving from the country's second-largest city of Benghazi in the east to the Tripoli.The NTC's finance minister, Ali Tarhouni, said Gadhafi's capture is not a prerequisite for setting up a new administration in the capital.We can start rebuilding our country,Tarhouni said late Thursday. He (Gadhafi) is the one who is basically in the sewer, moving from one sewer to another.Associated Press writers Ben Hubbard in Tripoli, Jill Lawless in London, Slobodan Lekic in Brussels and Rami al-Shaheibi in Benghazi, Libya, contributed to this report.

Japan nuke plant radiation leak exceeds Hiroshima
AP By MARI YAMAGUCHI, Associated Press – AUG 2611
TOKYO – The amount of radioactive cesium that has leaked from a tsunami-hit nuclear plant is about equal to 168 of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima at the end of World War II, Japan's nuclear agency said Friday.The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency supplied the estimate at a parliamentary panel's request, but it noted a simple comparison between an instantaneous bomb blast and long-term accidental leak is impossible and the results could be irrelevant.The report estimated for each of the 16 isotopes released from "Little Boy" and 31 of those detected at the Fukushima plant but didn't provide the total. NISA has said the radiation leaked from Fukushima was about one-sixth of what the Chernobyl disaster released in 1986.The March 11 earthquake and tsunami caused three reactor cores at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant to melt. Several blasts and fires also sent massive radiation into the environment.The report said the damaged plant has released 15,000 tera becquerels of cesium-137, which lingers for decades and could cause cancer, compared with the 89 tera becquerels released by the U.S. uranium bomb.The bomb Little Boy dropped on Aug. 6, 1945, destroyed most of the city and killed as many as 140,000 people. A second atomic bombing three days later in Nagasaki killed tens of thousands more, prompting Japan to surrender and ending WWII.The Hiroshima bomb claimed most of its victims in the intense heatwave and neutron rays from a midair nuclear explosion and the highly radioactive fallout. No one has died from radiation leaks from the Fukushima plant, where explosion from hydrogen buildup damaged reactor buildings but did not involve reactor cores.
The report estimated that Iodine-131, another isotope that accumulates in thyroid gland, and Stronthium-90, which has a 28-year half-life and could accumulate in bones, leaked from the plant in amounts about equal to 2.5 of the Hiroshima bombs.A separate government report released Thursday said that 22 percent of Cesium-137 and 13 percent of Iodine-131 released from the plant during the crisis have fallen on the ground, with the remaining either fell into the ocean or outside the area of simulation.The National Institute for Environmental Studies said its simulation of aerial flow, diffusion and deposition of the two isotopes released from the tsunami-hit plant showed their impact reached most of Japan's eastern half, ranging from Iwate in the north to Tokyo and central prefecture (state) of Shizuoka. Both Iwate and Shizuoka are more than 180 miles (300 kilometers) away from the plant.The study also showed that Iodine-131 tended to spread radially and Cesium-137 tended to create hot spots.Some 100,000 people evacuated their homes due to radiation threats from the Fukushima plant.On Friday, about 30 residents from the immediate neighborhood of the plant were allowed to briefly return home to get clothes and other necessities they left early in the crisis. But officials have said their area may stay off-limits for years.Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. and the government aim to bring the reactors to stable cold shutdowns by early January. The government is working to decontaminate areas outside the 12-mile (20-kilometer) restricted zone where access may be relaxed in coming weeks.
Obama fright ride control and attacks against America
By LAURIE ROTH, on August 25th, 2011
You can plainly see the over all plan and strategy to destroy America by the Obama regime. Obama and his kiss up progressives have assaulted every dimension of life in our country.The decapitation madness includes taking normal and common sense guidelines once used by the EPA and FDA for the protection of US citizens against danger, pollution and greed and turning them into Obama’s arms of destruction and total control. Recently we have noticed an increase in the aggression of the EPA, announcing over the next 18 months the shut down mission of numerous Coal plants across the nation. Never mind that coal provides 45% of our power and its destruction will cause major brown outs and black outs, while dramatically increasing utility costs for average, hard working Americans. Tens of thousands of jobs will also be lost in this energy field…..just as planned.Forget coal, we have had no movement and open doors by Obama and his anti American regime in the area of providing our own oil, natural gas, hydrogen power, nuclear and other power. Obama has twittled his smoke infested thumbs a few times with statements of support for wind power. Isn’t that precious? This can do exactly ‘squat’ on a large scale that is needed.Our nation has a variety of huge energy sources but needs developed infrastructure and more research front and center. We don’t need talk and political wars, we need action. There is no reason at all to be dependent on OPEC and other oil sources. That is dumber than a post…….or is it the plan?
Along with the EPA’s over reach we have our food sources under constant attack by the FDA. They have long been after health supplements, vitamins and anything to help keep America healthy in a cost effective way. A good chunk of us use herbal supplements, like amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Just in July, the FDA published a huge document that would essentially ban all nutritional and supplemental ingredients. They have brought regulation hell that will be retroactive to 1994. The whole plan was beautifully laid out in an article on canadafreepress.com. Who wins from making it almost impossible for us to get vitamins A, B C, and E? Big Pharma, that is who wins. My blood ran cold when the real agenda finally hit me. Big Pharmaceutical companies have a huge history of FDA-approved medications, which only help keep people sick and paying high prices while getting people stuck on meds. Naturally, big Pharma business doesn’t want health supplements and vitamins going to the people and getting them healthy. That might mean those pesky seniors will live even longer, despite the horror show health care plan that Obama is forcing down our throats.So, we have Obama’s presented concern about our environmental health demonstrated with the EPA shutting down many coal plants over the next 18 months. We then have Obama’s concern over our health and wellness displaying itself through the FDA attacking supplements, vitamins and minerals.Obama has also been attacking agriculture and our farmers with over regulation. All of these brazen attacks and control schemes hide behind Obama’s use of the word safety. Obama has attacked agriculture and farmers in America with the Food Safety Modernization Act.Farmers are now required to fill out endless waste of time forms and permits. Obama has attacked real food makers and growers over and over again. Remember in Michigan, gardener Julie Bass faced 93 days in jail for growing tomatoes in her own yard. Evil Julie…..with this war on terror we must deal with tomatoes in a tough manner!
Obama has also managed to destroy huge milk operations and destroy tons of cheese, watermelons, mangoes and other valuable food. Mike Adams covers this very well at infowars.com. With all the attacks on food makers and natural foods, Obama made sure that he approved genetically modified alfalfa to be openly planted all over the place, essentially contaminating non-GMO alfalfa crops with DNA pollution, impossible to remove from the harvest.Obama attacks food, environment and energy…what else? Forced and rationed Health care with threat of huge fines if we don’t have the Government approved health care
Attacks on State Sovereignty by threatening to sue 4 states so far, Utah, Arizona, South Dakota and South Carolina. Unions want to continue organizing through card-check instead of secret ballot. This is even through the vast majority of voters in all the states voted for secret ballots. As usual…..screw the voters and will of the people.We also saw Obama issue a controlling executive order and create the Council of Governors.This is naturally hiding behind the issue of invented crisis and disaster so Obama gets additional power and control, meeting with all the special Governors to institute God knows what in the states.Obama has also sought total control over the Internet, giving him a kill switch to shut down online traffic. He could seize networks and crush civil liberties.Obama has employed in influential staff positions several members of the Muslim brotherhood, which is a known terrorist group that created Al Kaeda and promotes jihad and terrorist attacks around the world. What are they doing anywhere near Obama and leadership?
Obama has sought to take control of the Internet, crush state sovereignty by suing state after state (regardless of the vote and will of the people); destroy the coal and energy industry through EPA over reach; force draconian and flawed health care; crush and control agriculture and farming; while regulating out of existence, the supplement and herbal, health industry. Any questions? Never let it be said that Obama is inexperienced and naïve. He is methodical, full of passion and committed to change America to a Marxist, communist regime, where he redistributes wealth and controls the ship. He will destroy America if we do not throw him and his controllers out in 2012.

Exposing the costly & ineffective security theater of the TSA August 25, 2011 By DOUG HAGMANN
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), created by Homeland Security Act of 2002, has had nearly a decade to get their job right. Ostensibly, the TSA mandate is to insure the safety and security of the traveling public against terror threats. Instead, they’ve become a bloated bureaucracy that has absolutely no history of stopping any transportation related terror plot. Not once.It’s not because they haven’t been given the manpower and the money. The TSA currently employs over 55,000 workers, and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano is asking congress to increase its 2012 budget by $459 million to a whopping $8.1 billion, which includes $98 million allocated for additional nuclear screening units.A report issued last month by the Office of Inspector General, identified by report number OIG-11-95, addresses the strengths and weaknesses of the Transportation Security Administration’s oversight to ensure that individuals who pose a threat are not granted access to secured airport areas. According to this latest report, they’ve failed.
The report concluded that individuals who pose a threat may obtain airport badges and gain access to secured airport areas. The report adds that such problems exist as the TSA has designed and implemented only limited oversight of the application process. The report concluded that the safety of airport workers, passengers, and aircraft is at risk due to the potential of inappropriate individuals obtaining airport badges.This finding is of particular concern considering that approximately 890,000 individuals with 1.2 million active badges have access to secured airport areas. According to the report, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted a search at just one major airport and arrested 23 workers with unauthorized airport access and identified more than 100 temporary employees possessing fraudulently obtained airport security badges.The next time you willingly subject yourself and your belongings to a TSA agent, consider that the person with their hands fondling your private parts just might be an illegal alien, a felon, or worse.We must demand change.
Norwegian Police Confirm Drill Identical to Breivik’s Attack Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com August 26, 2011
The Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten reports today police sources have confirmed that hours before Anders Behring Breivik launched his deadly attack at a political summer camp on Utøya island on July 22, police had conducted a drill for a practically identical scenario.Sources within the top level management of the police in Oslo have confirmed to Aftenposten that the drill finished at 15:00 that same Friday, the newspaper reports. All of the officers from the anti-terror unit that later took part at the bombsite at the government buildings and went out to Utøya to apprehend Anders Behring Breivik had been training on the exact same scenario earlier the same day and in the days preceding,writes Andreas Bakke Foss.The bomb attributed to Breivik went off only 26 minutes after the anti-terror drill finished, according to officials.Norwegian police characterize the very similar drill and its chronological proximity to the practically identical scenario as a coincidence.Such coincidences are now routine during terror events. On September 11, 2001, the Air Force conducted the Vigilant Guardian, Vigilant Warrior, Northern Guardian, Northern Vigilance exercises.NORAD had trained for a scenario simulating a crash into a building (military officials insisted the buildings involved in the exercise were not the WTC or the Pentagon, although the actual buildings remain classified). The secretive National Reconnaissance Office also held a plane crash scenario on September 11, 2001.
On July 7, 2005,Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, a private firm on contract to the London Metropolitan Police, organized a bombing scenario that coincided with the 7/7 London bombings. At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now,Power told the BBC.On July 24, Webster Tarpley noted that the Norwegian terror attack provides a telltale critical sign of a false flag operation is the holding of drills or exercises – allegedly for counterterrorism purposes – by the police or the military at the same time as the terror attack, or shortly before the real terror attack begins.Tarpley continues:Once the drill has occurred, the capabilities, hardware, etc., which it has created can remain in place to be mobilized at the desired moment. The secret is that the legally sanctioned drill has been used to conduit or bootleg the actual butchery through a government bureaucracy whose resources are required to run the terror but in which there are many officials who cannot be allowed to know what is happening.The Norwegian police have underscored the probability that the bombing of government buildings in Oslo and the meticulous slaughter at a summer camp were false flag events.It is unlikely the corporate media in the United States will report on the suspiciously timed exercises in Norway.It is even less likely they will draw the conclusion the events represent a false flag event engineered to keep the bogus war on manufactured terror alive and add hysteria to the pell mell rush to construct a global surveillance and police state grid.

HANOVER - GOODBYE LONG TERM CARE BEDS
Long-term care change unpopular
By LAURA MACDUFF, QMI AGENCY AUG 23,11
HANOVER -- About 200 people, mostly seniors, attended a public meeting Monday in Hanover about a deal that might see 41 long-term care spaces moved from Hanover to Chesley.Many opposed the proposal that would see the beds sold by Hanover Care Centre to Capricorn Investments Limited, owner of the Elgin Abbey care centre Chesley. Many were con-c erned about elderly people having to move.Kim White a Ministry of Health and Long-Term care representative, said afterward she will take local concerns to officials in Toronto.I have to somehow convey the passion that was evident in this room today. Everybody spoke not only of personal experiences but businesses experiences and very much a community focus and so it's really important that we not only convey the number of people but the passion of all of those speakers, White said. So we tried to capture as much as we could on paper but I will also be doing a verbal report to the director in Toronto so that we again can convey that this community has some significant concerns about this and here are their reasons and (that) they also have some questions about the process and so it behooves the ministry to also respond to the questions that were nicely captured by the mayor.Hanover Mayor Kathi Maskell said people in care shouldn't have to move to see the service continue.The Town of Hanover wants to ensure the needs of people in our long-term care health system are not trumped by financial business decisions at the expense of our community and our most vulnerable residents, those who in the past have helped to build the community that we enjoy in the present, she said.
These citizens don't deserve to be forced from their residence without input, consultation or caring, she said.Life is always about personal relationships and personal relationships are critical to the well-being of long-term care residents. Today, that well-being is threatened. It's threatened by the slow erosion of close bonds with family and friends due to reduced communication and there is not a doubt that there will be fewer visits when the distance is increased. That well-being is being threatened by loss of community connection and familiar surroundings.In rural Ontario, and small town Ontario, those community connections are vital and they help to stave off the depression that sometimes, often, accompanies old age.Concerned individuals took to the microphone following Maskell's presentation expressing their concerns about the possible loss of beds.Members of the public shared concerns with not being in the community where they want to live, taxi costs, loss of connection to family, friends and community, not being near their doctor and being shifted form one care facility to another where the scenery is unfamiliar.White said the purchaser and the seller need to follow a certain process before any deal can be completed. Discussions will continue with the community and officials, while comments from the meeting will be taken to the ministry's licensing department in Toronto.White added anyone with concerns or comments may email or write a letter to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, the mayor, the South West Local Health Integration Network.
PCs Correctly Focus on Redevelopment of Long Term Care Beds 24 August, 2011 (12:06) | Hospitals & Long-Term Care | By: editor
MARKHAM, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – Aug. 24, 2011) - The Ontario Long Term Care Association (OLTCA) is pleased PC Leader Tim Hudak has promised to redevelop 35,000 long term care beds across the province and add an additional 5,000 beds in areas where need is the greatest.Redevelopment of older homes and adding new beds are key to providing equitable access to frail seniors across the province, said Gail Paech, CEO of the OLTCA, which represents 70 per cent of long term care homes in Ontario.The OLTCA’s election message is Access for All: High Quality Long term Care Homes for Seniors Now. It calls on the new government to take action immediately to ensure there is equitable access to high-quality, modern facilities, now and in the future.Considering demand for long term care is expected to nearly triple by 2035, action is critical to avoid a crisis of access, quality and availability of care in the future. Aging facilities don’t allow homes to provide the care that residents require, and the quality of life they deserve.Long term care homes across the province are providing exceptional quality, specialized care to some of Ontario’s most vulnerable citizens, said Paech.But we also care for the buildings that our residents call home. We need them to be redeveloped and properly maintained so we can continue providing exceptional quality care in a home-like environment within the community.
OLTCA’s call to action identifies steps that need to be taken now to update long term care homes so that facilities are safe, comfortable and modern. It also asks for the stable and sustainable funding that homes need to maintain an environment that supports the best possible care for residents and can be a place they are proud to call home. Lastly it identifies the critical need for new and modern facilities to be built in the right communities so that everyone who needs long term care, now and in the future, can access it.Access for All: High Quality Long Term Care Homes for Seniors Now is available online at: www.oltca.com.

Irene flays Bahamas as North Carolina watches, NY waits Reuters By Neil Hartnell – AUG 25,11
NASSAU (Reuters) – Hurricane Irene washed away homes in the Bahamas on Thursday as the powerful storm wielding battering winds and rain headed toward the eastern seaboard including densely populated New York and New England.U.S. emergency officials have urged millions of people from the Carolinas north to New England to be on the alert for Irene, now a major Category 3 storm, which is forecast to rake up the coast starting Saturday.New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the United States' most populous city was bracing to experience at least tropical storm conditions and flooding starting on Sunday from Irene, which could hit Long Island as a Category 2 hurricane.We hope for the best but prepare for the worst, Bloomberg told a news conference, adding some evacuations could be possible. The city is positioning rescue boats and helicopters, working to minimize street flooding and gearing up at hospitals.The city has already seen the power of Mother Nature once this week, and Mother Nature may not be done with us yet,Bloomberg said, referring to the 5.8 magnitude earthquake that shook the East Coast on Tuesday.The northern part of the North Carolina coast went on a hurricane watch in anticipation of Irene's forecast landfall on Saturday evening in the state's eastern Outer Banks barrier islands, which are popular with vacationers in the summer.Weather Underground private forecaster Rob Carver wrote, I think that there is a 75 percent chance Irene's secondary landfall will be somewhere between (New York's) JFK airport and Cape Cod ... Irene's size will cause significant impacts for people living far from its center.The U.S. Navy said ships of the Second Fleet based in Hampton Roads, Virginia, were under orders to put out to sea as a precaution to ride out the upcoming storm. Officers said large ships can better weather big storms at sea than in port.
North Carolina authorities have already started evacuations from exposed barrier islands, while residents along the East Coast rushed to stock up on food and water supplies, boarded up windows and secured roofs, vehicles and boats.Irene, which already caused the deaths this week of at least one person in Puerto Rico and two in the Dominican Republic, with others reported missing, was lashing the Bahamas capital, Nassau, with heavy rains and gusting winds on Thursday.On Wednesday, it tore through sparsely populated low-lying southeastern islands in the Atlantic archipelago.The Bahamas newspaper The Tribune reported on its website that on Acklins Island homes have been completely washed away or have lost entire roofs, power lines have been downed and trees are blocking roads.Many residents sought safety in shelters. No report on casualties was immediately available.
U.S. REFINERIES, NUCLEAR PLANTS PREPARE
At 11 a.m., Irene was packing winds of 115 miles per hour and was located about 75 miles north northeast of Nassau.Power was out in the Bahamian capital and many streets were impassable, with large trees down, The Tribune reported. The Bahamas Department of Meteorology said a station in Arthur's Town, Cat Island, had recorded a gust of 143 mph (229 km/h).Many tourists in the Bahamas had already fled the storm and major cruise lines canceled stops there.The first hurricane of the storm-filled 2011 Atlantic season was expected to gain strength after it leaves the Bahamas on Thursday and race across open waters to clip North Carolina's jutting Outer Banks region on Saturday.After that, forecasters see it hugging the U.S. eastern seaboard, swirling rains and winds across several hundred miles (km) as it churns northward toward New England.Forecasters warned that even if the center of the hurricane stays offshore as it tracks up the mid-Atlantic coast, its wide bands could lash cities including Washington and New York with winds and rain, knock out power, trigger coastal storm surges and cause flooding.Oil terminals, refineries and nuclear plants from the Bahamas to Rhode Island were preparing.Four catastrophe bonds totaling over $1 billion could leave financial investors exposed to insured losses if Hurricane Irene makes a U.S. landfall.The Miami-based NHC said Irene would move over northwest Bahamas on Thursday and pass well offshore of central and north Florida later on Thursday and early on Friday.U.S. National Hurricane Center Director Bill Read warned on Wednesday that Irene could become a big threat for New England and perhaps Long Island from Sunday onward.If Irene makes a direct landfall in the continental United States, it will be the first hurricane to hit there since Ike pounded Texas in 2008. But forecasts showed it posing no threat to U.S. oil and gas installations in the Gulf of Mexico.Insurers kept a nervous watch in case Irene threatened wealthy enclaves such as the Hamptons, an eastern Long Island playground for New York's rich.

NC counties tell thousands to leave as Irene looms
AP By MITCH WEISS and MARTHA WAGGONER, Associated Press – AUG 25,11
BUXTON, N.C. – Thousands were fleeing an exposed strip of coastal villages and beaches off North Carolina on Thursday as Irene approached, threatening to become the first major hurricane to hit the East Coast in seven years.Hours after a hurricane watch was issued for much of the state's coast, emergency officials expanded evacuation orders to include hundreds of thousands of tourists and locals in three counties. The areas include the barrier island chain known as the Outer Banks, which is expected to take the brunt of Irene's first hit over the weekend.The governors of North Carolina and Virginia also made emergency declarations to free up storm recovery resources, while the Navy began moving dozens of ships out to sea from ports in Irene's path. And emergency officials all the way to New England were urging residents in low-lying areas to gather supplies and learn the way to a safe location.The storm is expected to come ashore Saturday in North Carolina with winds of around 115 (185 kph). Forecasters predict it will then chug up the East Coast, dumping rain from Virginia to New York City before a much-weakened form trudges through New England.As the sun rose over North Carolina's barrier islands, tourists packed suitcases in their cars, while locals stocked up on food, water and gas. Traffic was moving briskly Thursday morning on the two-lane highway that cuts through many of the coastal communities, but many feared that would change.It's going to be a mess, said 66-year-old Buxton resident Leon Reasor as he stood inside a local bait shop. Anyone who tells you they're not worried is a liar.An evacuation order for an estimated 150,000 visitors took effect Thursday in Dare County, while its 35,000 permanent residents were told to begin leaving the next day. Tourists and locals in Hyde County were also told to move inland, as were visitors in Currituck County.
It wouldn't behoove anyone to stay in these circumstances,Dare County emergency management spokeswoman Sharon Sullivan said. Businesses are boarding up. Nobody can guarantee their safety.Craig Fugate, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said residents should pay attention to local broadcasters to see if an evacuation order is made. Among the most important tasks, he said, was figuring out a safe place to go before hitting the road.When you evacuate, you want to know where you're going and make sure you have somewhere to go, not just get on the road with everybody else and hope you find some place, Fugate said Thursday on CBS's The Early Show.All along the East Coast, officials were calculating what they needed to do as Irene continued its march across the Caribbean toward the U.S. The Navy ordered 64 ships to leave Norfolk and other Virginia ports, saying they can better weather the storm at sea.New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg urged residents living in low-lying areas on Thursday to line up a place to stay on high ground ahead of possible evacuations this weekend. He said he would make a decision by late Friday on whether to evacuate neighborhoods along the water in several boroughs.Even without hurricane-force winds, northeastern states already drenched from a rainy August could see flooding and fallen trees from Irene.You want to go into a hurricane threat with dry soil, low rivers, a half moon, New Jersey state climatologist David Robinson said.That is not the case. The Garden State has gotten twice as much rain this month as in a normal August, and high tide happens at 8 a.m. EDT on Sunday, when Irene might be passing by.Early Thursday, the storm was pounding the Bahamas with widespread damage reported on at least two southern islands. It was a powerful Category 3 hurricane with winds at 115 mph (185 kph). Forecasters said the winds will ramp up quickly over the next day and Irene was expected to blow into a monstrous Category 4 with winds at least 131 mph (210 mph).While the storm's path isn't definite, officials are taking nothing for granted.
In Maryland, inspections of bridges looking for cracks in the support piers and other structural features found no damage, according to state transportation agency spokeswoman Teri Moss. In Virginia, with a southeastern corner that could be in Irene's way, cities along the coast are reviewing their evacuation plans, said Laura Southard, spokeswoman for the state Department of Emergency Management.Farther north, precautions so far were mainly wait-and-see as officials watched for developments in the forecast.New York City officials had begun preparations to evacuate residents from low-lying areas of the city if necessary. The city's subway stations and tunnels would likely be flooded in places, and officials plan to shut the system down ahead of time to reduce damage to the infrastructure.Roads and bridges in Massachusetts are likely to bear the weather in good condition, said Peter Judge, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. But the agency is planning for flooding and is keeping an eye on the 3,000 public and private dams throughout the state.North Carolina's Outer Banks have a long history of hurricanes, and building codes and emergency plans reflect that. Structures in the region are designed to withstand up to 110 mph sustained winds and gusts of up to 130 mph for three minutes. Evacuation routes are meticulously planned, down to the order in which counties hit the road.Some of the region's most popular destinations rely on the ailing Bonner Bridge, which was built in 1963 and intended to last 30 years, to connect Hatteras Island to the northern Outer Banks. There's no other way to reach Hatteras except by boat.The bridge handles about 2 million cars a year and the state DOT ranks it a 2 on its safety meter, with 100 being the highest, or most safe, designation.We're going to shift people and resources around to do what we need to do and keep the roads open, said North Carolina Department of Transportation spokeswoman Nicole Meister. The 2.7-mile bridge won't stay open if it's deemed unsafe — which happened during Hurricane Earl last year — but the state has an emergency ferry terminal ready in that case to get people off the island, Meister said.
Tourists in Buxton were sad to cut their vacations short, but said they understood the urgency of the situation.New Jersey accountant John Robeson brought his wife and children — ages 8 and 4 — down for a week, but their vacation was cut short after three days.I'm disappointed, he said as he loaded his car. You wait all year. Talk about it. Make plans for your vacation. And now this. It's a bad break.His wife, Marlene, agreed. I'm worried about traffic. I don't want to be stuck on the highway when the storm hits,she said.Associated Press writers Tom Breen and Michael Biesecker in Raleigh, N.C.; Larry O'Dell in Richmond, Va.; Geoff Mulvihill in Trenton, N.J.; Brian Witte in Baltimore, Md.; Brock Vergakis in Norfolk, Va.; Johanna Kaiser in Boston; and Meghan Barr and Samantha Gross in New York contributed to this report.
New tropical depression forms in the Atlantic
AP – Thu Aug 25, 6:15 am ET
MIAMI – A new tropical depression has formed far out over the Atlantic with forecasters saying it will likely become a tropical storm.The depression's maximum sustained winds early Thursday are near 35 mph (55 kph). But the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says additional strengthening is expected and it's likely to become a tropical storm later in the day.The depression is centered about 435 miles (700 kilometers) west-southwest of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands and is moving west-northwest near 13 mph (20 kph).Meanwhile farther west, Hurricane Irene is threatening the U.S. East Coast.
Monsoon rains trigger floods, kill 16 in Pakistan
AP By RIAZ KHAN, Associated Press – AUG 25,11
PESHAWAR, Pakistan – Flash floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains swept through a village in northwestern Pakistan, killing 16 people and leaving several others missing, disaster management officials said Thursday.The floods hit the remote Kundian Valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province Wednesday, destroying houses and other infrastructure, said Syed Asghar Ali Shah, the acting head of disaster management in the province.Rescue operations and relief operations have been hampered by bridges and roads that were damaged last year in the worst flooding in Pakistan's history and have not been fixed, said Shah. Authorities sent two helicopters to help with the operations and hope to send another tomorrow, he said.Heavy rains are expected to continue in the area for at least another 24 hours, according to Pakistan's meteorological department.Monsoon rains begin in July in Pakistan and often lead to flooding. The floods that hit last year inundated about one-fifth of the country — an area the size of the United Kingdom — and affected up to 20 million people.
Experts have warned that many citizens are more vulnerable to flooding this year because they have not recovered from last year's tragedy.

IAF Strikes Terror Targets in Gaza-IAF aircraft target terror targets in the Gaza Strip in response to the rocket barrage on Wednesday evening.by Elad Benari

IAF aircraft targeted overnight Wednesday a weapons storage facility in the northern Gaza Strip as well as a smuggling tunnel and weapons manufacturing site in the southern Gaza Strip.The IDF Spokesperson said in a statement that direct hits were confirmed.The sites were targeted in response to the firing of rockets from Gaza at Israel Wednesday evening, said the statement.Gaza-based media sources said that three Palestinian Arabs were seriously injured in the air strike.Gaza terrorists launched at least 16 rocket and mortar attacks at communities across the region on Wednesday evening. Two Israelis were wounded in the night-long barrage, including a baby.A few minutes after midnight, three medium-range Grad Katyusha missiles were fired at Be'er Sheva. The Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepted two of the projectiles, destroying them upon impact. The third landed in an open area on the outskirts of the city. No physical injuries or damage was reported.An hour earlier in Ashkelon a 9-month-old baby was seriously hurt by flying shards of glass when a Gaza missile scored a direct hit on the private vehicle in which she was riding.
The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, and will not hesitate to respond with strength and determination to any element that uses terror against the State of Israel and until calm is restored, the IDF said in its statement.
Tehran Suing Moscow Over S-300 Contracts-Iran is suing Russia for failing to deliver the S-300 air defense system - a key item Tehran wanted to safeguard its nuclear sites.by Gavriel Queenann Published: 25/08/11, 7:30 PM
Iran announced Thursday it is suing Moscow for failing to deliver the S-300 air defense system to Iran, the semi-official Iranian Fars news agency reported.
Iranian ambassador to Russia Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi told reporters the lawsuit had been filed with the International Court of Justice. The Islamic Republic contracted with Russia in 2007 for the delivery of at least five S-300 air defense systems, according to the report.The International Court of Justice, also knows as the World Court, is the judicial branch of the United Nations organization. It operates out of The Hague, Netherlands, where it is responsible for settling disputes between states who have.In 2007, Russia and Iran claimed that UN Security Council Resolution 1929 did not apply to the S-300 system because it was not listed specifically in the text. The resolution, passed on June 9, 2010, imposes sanctions on Iran for harboring a secret nuclear weapons program and failing to comply with requests by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect nuclear facilities. It prohibits economic and military cooperation with the Islamic Republic, thereby prohibiting the sale and delivery of the weapons system.The S-300 missile is not in contradiction with any international commitments of the two sides (Iran and Russia) and the issue is clearly emphasized in the deal, on the other hand the date of delivery of the missile system was two years before the adoption of the UN Security Council recent resolution against Iran, Iranian Minister of Defense Ahmad Vahidi told Azerbaijan's Trend News Agency in October 2010.
�
Although Russia originally assured Iran that it would deliver the system, considerable Western pressure eventually convinced Moscow to cancel the deal. The cancellation caused the Islamic Republic, who had touted its aquisition as a major deterrent to a strike by Western powers on its nuclear program, to lose face.The lawsuit comes as tensions between Iran and Russia, whom Iran contracted to aid in constructing its nuclear facilities, have spiked due to delays in the completion of Tehran's Bushehr nuclear reactor. The reactor, which was to be completed in 1999, has yet to be complete.
Egypt: We Forbade an Israeli Gaza Operation-Egyptian ambassador to PA: We want a clear, strong apology and a pledge to not to repeat such acts.by Gil Ronen Published: 25/08/11, 6:55 PM
Yasser Othman, the Egyptian ambassador to the Palestinian Authority, said Wednesday that there Egyptian-Israeli relations are still tense after the killing of five Egyptian soldiers last week, in the aftermath of a murderous terror attack on Israel.
Egypt had forbidden Israel from launching a large-scale operation in Gaza, he added.
�We want a clear, strong apology and a pledge to not to repeat such acts in the future,he told Bethlehem-based Maan News. Egypt's cabinet said that it was not enough that Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and President Shimon Peres expressed regret over the incident. According to Maan, Othman said that Israel did not launch a large-scale operation because they fear the Egyptian people’s reaction.The Egyptian side has felt after the Eilat operation that Israel intends to [get] revenge, he said, adding that Egypt sent a strong message to Israel saying it won’t allow an operation to take place.The Eilat terror attacks in which 8 Israelis were murdered had nothing to do with Egypt, Othman said, and investigations are ongoing on both sides.

Moammar Gadhafi urges Libyans to destroy rebels
AP AUG 25,11
CAIRO – Moammar Gadhafi has called on Libyans to destroy the rebels who have overtaken Tripoli forced his regime into hiding. The appeal comes as intense fighting has erupted in the Libyan capital.The maverick leader made the plea Thursday in a brief audio statement broadcast on Al-Arabiya and other Arab stations.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — An intense battle has erupted between about 1,000 rebels surrounding two buildings filled with Moammar Gadhafi loyalists in the neighborhood next to the Libyan leader's captured compound.Associated Press reporters on the scene Thursday said rebels were hammering the buildings with heavy gunfire and a huge explosion from the battle scene sent a large plume of white smoke.
Mahmoud Bakoush, a rebel commander at the site, says there are rumors that one of Gadhafi's sons might be in the buildings, but they are unconfirmed.
Intense battles erupt near Gadhafi seized compound
AP By HADEEL AL-SHALCHI and PAUL SCHEMM, Associated Press – AUG 25,11
TRIPOLI, Libya – Intense battles raged Thursday between about 1,000 rebels surrounding 10 buildings filled with Moammar Gadhafi loyalists in the neighborhood next to the Libyan leader's captured compound. Gadhafi, in a new audio message, called on Libyans to destroy the rebels.A regime spokesman told The Associated Press Gadhafi is safely in hiding and leading the battle against the rebels.AP reporters on the scene of the battle in the Abu Salim neighborhood said rebels were hammering at least 10 buildings sheltering Gadhafi loyalists with anti-aircraft guns. There were huge explosions, and the air was clogged with smoke. At least three of the buildings were burning.They are holding at least 10 tall buildings. They have heavy weaponry, maybe even a tank, Mohammed Karami, a rebel involved in the battle, said of the Gadhafi loyalists.Mahmoud Bakoush, a rebel commander at the site, said there were rumors that one of Gadhafi's sons might be in the buildings, but they are unconfirmed.Don't leave Tripoli for the rats. Fight them, fight them, and kill them, Gadhafi said in audio message broadcast on Al-Arabiya television. It is the time for martyrdom or victory, he said, calling tribes outside the capital to continue their march to Tripoli. He said imams in mosques should call for youths to rise up for jihad.He warned that the rebels will enter people's homes and rape their women.They will enter your houses and deprive you of your honor, he said. NATO can't remain in the air all the time.
Gadhafi spokesman Moussa Ibrahim, in a call to AP's Cairo office, said the longtime dictator was in Libya and his morale was high. Gadhafi is indeed leading the battle for our freedom and independence said Ibrahim, who was recognizable by his voice.
Ibrahim refused to say where Gadhafi was hiding. Ibrahim, who had for months appeared daily in televised news conferences since the start of the rebellion six months ago, added he himself was in an undisclosed location in Libya and constantly on the move.All of the leader's family are fine, Ibrahim said, adding that top military and political aides remained with Gadhafi.He said Gadhafi was capable of continuing resistance for weeks, months and years.Ibrahim claimed Gadhafi's forces controlled a good portion of the capital — a claim that contradicts what reporters are seeing on the ground — and other cities and towns. He also accused NATO of besieging Gadhafi strongholds such as Sirte.
Globalists Want Boots On The Ground In Libya-Making Libya stable for Fortune 500 corporations, offshore banks and megalithic oil companies-Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Thursday, August 25, 2011
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HeXbbnI8G4&feature=player_embedded
With their Al-Qaeda-led rebel forces once again struggling to complete the overthrow of Colonel Gaddafi, pro-NATO globalists are now openly calling for boots on the ground in Libya, a complete violation of the original UN resolution that supposedly authorized NATO involvement in the first place, in order to stabilize the country for the benefit of Fortune 500 corporations, offshore banks and megalithic oil companies.Reality isn’t quite keeping up with the public relations offensive launched by the western establishment media, with many areas of Tripoli being contested while Gaddafi’s government remains firmly in control of strategic towns like Sirte.With Gaddafi vowing to fight on for years, hopes of seizing and maintaining control over the country’s vast oil and gold resources could be on shaky ground, which is why the likes of CFR luminaries Richard Haass and Max Boot are hastily demanding occupation forces be sent in to stabilize the country for globalist interests.That’s not to say that boots aren’t already on the ground in Libya. The Al-Qaeda backed rebel siege is being directed by British SAS troops, along with American and French Special Forces. But what the globalists really want to see is an occupation of Iraq-style proportions, and tens of thousands of troops are already on standby for that very purpose.Richard Haass, President of the Council on Foreign Relations, doesn’t mince his words in a Financial Times editorial headlined Libya Now Needs Boots on the Ground.
In the article, Haass brazenly acknowledges that the humanitarian pretext for NATO intervention was little more than a hoax.The humanitarian intervention introduced to save lives believed to be threatened was in fact a political intervention introduced to bring about regime change, writes Haass.Writing that Libyans will not be able to manage the situation about to emerge on their own, Haass cites tribal warfare, political instability, looting and most notably, 2 billion barrels of oil a day,as good reasons for an international force to restore and maintain order.He also calls on Barack Obama to reconsider his assertion that there would not be any American boots on the ground.In admitting that the NATO bombardment was never about humanitarian concerns and calling for an occupying army, thereby completely contradicting the terms of United Nations security council resolution 1973, Haass reveals the mafia-like way in which neo-colonialism operates. Globalist criminals don’t even follow their own flimsy claims to legitimacy.Not to be outdone, fellow CFR internationalist and neo-con Max Boot writes in an L.A. Times editorial that NATO and the UN will have to send….peacekeeping troops, primarily to restore oil production, an undoubted priority given that, as the NY Times reported,the scramble to secure access to Libya’s oil wealth has already begun amongst British Petroleum, Total of France, and Repsol YPF of Spain.While failing to mention the fact that the NATO-backed rebels are commanded by Al-Qaeda terrorists who killed U.S. troops in Iraq, Boot re-characterizes Gaddafi’s government as an insurgency and urges sending foreign troops into Libya.Both Haass and Boot couldn’t give a damn about making Libya stable for the benefit of the Libyan people, to prevent looting or tribal warfare. Their only concern is making Libya stable for the entities the bombardment was launched on behalf of in the first place – Fortune 500 corporations, transnational banks and megalithic oil companies – the same gang of crooks represented on the CFR’s roster.

France calls Libya victory summit, warns Syria
Today AUG 25,11 @ 09:28 By Andrew Rettman
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has called a high-level meeting on Libya's post-Gaddafi future and promised support - but no military action - for opposition forces in Syria.The event is to take place in Paris on 1 September - the 42nd anniversary of the coup which brought Colonel Gaddafi to power.It is to be co-hosted by British Prime Minister David Cameron and to include rebel leaders Mahmoud Jibril and Abdel Jalil, delegates from the 28-country-strong anti-Gaddafi coalition, the Libya Contact Group, as well as states hostile to Western intervention in Libya - China, India, Russia and South Africa.Speaking with Jibril in the French capital on Wednesday (24 August), Sarkozy said Gaddafi's defeat has brought the Western and Arab worlds closer and that he was right to put France fully back into Nato in 2009.
The West and the East are not condemned to confront each other, the people of Europe and Arab people are not condemned to misunderstand each other, he said.The reintegration of France into the principle organs of Nato did nothing to weaken French independnce - on the contrary, since France was, naturally, in the front lines during the military operations [in Libya].Sarkozy ruled out military intervention in Syria due to the lack of a UN mandate. But he warned President Bashar Assad to draw lessons from Libya and the Ivory Coast, where France also used force this year.We have made a strategic choice ... that we will be on the side of the Arab street each time the street struggles for democracy and liberty, he said. We now have precedents - the Ivory Coast and Libya. This is not to say we will get involved in more conflicts. But we will not give up on our principles. Syrian people have the right to freedom.For his part, Jibril called for the international community to help the Transitional National Council (TNC) in the struggle for reconstruction.He highlighted the need to quickly reopen schools and for medical aid, including mass-scale production of prosthetic limbs and psychotherapy. He also pledged to hold internationally-monitored elections and to draft a democratic constitution.The TNC has asked the UN to unfreeze $5 billion out of the $110 billion of Gaddafi assets reportedly held in banks round the world. The US has so far drafted a UN text allowing for the unfreezing of $1.5 billion, with a vote at the UN Security Council expected by the weekend.With Gaddafi still at large, Sarkozy pledged to keep up military support for the TNC as long as the colonel's loyalists pose a threat to civilians.He denied reports that there are French soldiers on the ground, saying the French ambassador in Libya has assistants, we have observers because we need information, but these are not special forces.
UN resolution 1973 authorising air strikes ruled out a foreign occupation force of any form. But the fall of Tripoli has stimulated chatter about the need for international peacekeepers.Nato spokeswoman Oana Lugnescu told the AP news agency on Wednesday that an options paper for a potential joint UN-Nato mission will come up for discussion next week.The council provided Nato military authorities with a set of political guidelines for a possible future Nato supporting role in Libya ... in support of wider international efforts,she said, referring to the North Atlantic Council, the alliance's political governing body.

Cypriot Foreign Minister Erato Kozakou-Marcoullis visited Israel on Wednesday seeking support in a brewing conflict with Turkey over maritime gas exploration rights. Cyprus plans to begin exploratory drillings within the next two weeks, regardless of Turkey's opposition. For years, Cyprus was considered one of the most critical countries of Israel.
German president attacks ECB bond purchases
Today AUG 25,11 @ 11:13 By Andrew Rettman
German President Wulff has said the European Central Bank has gone beyond its mandate by spending €110bn on weak eurozone bonds since last May. I regard the huge buy-up of government bonds of individual states ... as legally questionable,he said at a seminar in Lindau, south Germany, on Wednesday.
3, 2, 1: Global Debt Meltdown The Economic Collapse
Aug 25, 2011Global
We are steamrolling toward a massive global debt meltdown, and at this point world leaders seem to be all out of solutions. Over the last 30 years or so, the greatest debt bubble in the history of the planet has produced unprecedented prosperity in the western world. But now that debt bubble is starting to burst and the bills are coming due. Many believe that “ground zero” for the coming global debt meltdown will be in Europe. Unlike the U.S. and Japan, the nations of the EU can’t just print more money to cover their debts. Nations such as Greece, Portugal and Italy must repay their debts in euros, and those nations are rapidly getting to the point where their debts are going to overwhelm them. Unfortunately, major banks all over Europe are very highly leveraged and are also very heavily invested in the sovereign debt of nations such as Greece, Portugal and Italy. If even one EU nation defaults it will start tipping over financial dominoes. If more than one EU nation defaults it could cause a cataclysmic wave of bank failures all over Europe.But Germany and the other more financially stable countries of the EU cannot bail out nations like Greece, Portugal and Italy indefinitely. Pouring money into Greece is like pouring money into a black hole. When you take money from financially stable countries and pour it into hopeless messes, you may stabilize things for a little while, but you also cause the financial condition of the financially stable nations to start deteriorating.Right now, the yield on 2 year Greek bonds is up to 44%. Basically, the market is screaming that these are horrible investments and that they will almost certainly default.Greece cannot fire up the printing presses and print more money, so they are now totally dependent on others to bail them out.Just how desperate have things become in Greece? Just consider the following excerpt from a recent article by Puru Saxena….
In Greece, government debt now represents almost 160% of GDP and the average yield on Greek debt is around 15%. Thus, if Greece’s debt is rolled over without restructuring, its interest costs alone will amount to approximately 24% of GDP. In other words, if debt pardoning does not occur, nearly a quarter of Greece’s economic output will be gobbled up by interest repayments! Can you imagine? No nation on earth can afford to pay out nearly a quarter of GDP just on interest on government debt.So just how did Greece get into this position? Well, it turns out that big U.S. banks such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase played a big role. The following is an excerpt from a recent article by Andrew Gavin Marshall….In the same way that homeowners take out a second mortgage to pay off their credit card debt, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase and other U.S. banks helped push government debt far into the future through the derivatives market. This was done in Greece, Italy, and likely several other euro-zone countries as well. In several dozen deals in Europe, banks provided cash upfront in return for government payments in the future, with those liabilities then left off the books. Because the deals are not listed as loans, they are not listed as debt (liabilities), and so the true debt of Greece and other euro-zone countries was and likely to a large degree remains hidden. Greece effectively mortgaged its airports and highways to the major banks in order to get cash up-front and keep the loans off the books, classifying them as transactions.All over the world, politicians love to kick the can down the road, and big Wall Street banks love to find creative ways to help them do that.
But now Greece is about to collapse, and the people that helped them get into this mess will probably never be held accountable.If Greece does default, it is going to have dramatic consequences all over Europe. For a chilling look at what could potentially happen when Greece defaults, just check out this article by John Mauldin.
Sadly, Greece is far from the only problem in Europe. Portugal, Ireland and Italy also have debt to GDP ratios that are above 100%.The biggest potential problem, at least in the near-term, is Italy.Italy is the fourth largest economy in the EU, and lately the financial problems of the Italian government and Italian banks have been making headlines all over the globe.Italy is a far, far larger potential problem than Greece is.The EU can handle bailing out Greece, at least for now.If Italy gets to the point where it needs large bailouts, that is going to bring down the whole system. The EU simply does not have enough money to perform an extensive financial rescue of Italy.As you can see from this chart, the exposure that European banks have to Italian debt is absolutely massive. If Italian debt goes bad, it is going to take down a whole bunch of banks.Not only that, but many believe that the European Central Bank itself is now in some very dangerous territory.It is estimated that the European Central Bank is now holding somewhere in the neighborhood of 444 billion euros worth of debt from the governments of Greece, Italy, Portugal, Ireland and Spain.The financial consequences of a default by one or more of those nations could potentially be catastrophic.According to London-based think tank Open Europe, the European Central Bankis massively overleveraged….Should the ECB see its assets fall by just 4.23pc in value . . . its entire capital base would be wiped out.
That doesn’t sound good.Surely the European Central Bank would be recapitalized somehow, but this is just another example that shows just how dangerous huge amounts of leverage can be.As I wrote about in a recent article about the sovereign debt crisis, if the dominoes begin to tumble in Europe it is going to take everybody down.
The big banks in Europe are leveraged to the hilt, and they are massively exposed to government debt.If you don’t think that this is a problem, just remember what happened back in 2008.Back then, Lehman Brothers was leveraged 31 to 1. When things turned bad, Lehman was wiped out very rapidly.Today, major German banks are leveraged 32 to 1, and those banks are currently holding a massive amount of European sovereign debt.Yes, things could become really nightmarish if the dominoes start to fall.Already we are seeing huge signs of trouble at major banks all over Europe.Major European banks UBS, Barclays, Credit Suisse, RBS, and HSBC have all announced layoffs recently. In fact, when you add them all up, the total number of layoffs announced by these banks just this month is over 40,000. Overall, the grand total of layoffs by European banks so far this year is now up to67,000.The mood in the financial sector over in Europe is very dark right now. Just consider the following excerpt from a recent Bloomberg article….It’s a bloodbath, and I expect things to get worse before they get better, said Jonathan Evans, chairman of executive- search firm Sammons Associates in London. I cannot see a lot of those who have lost their jobs getting re-employed. Regardless of how good someone is, no one wants to talk about hiring. Life will be very difficult for two or three years.Just like back in 2008 with U.S. banks, we are seeing European banks getting absolutely pummeled right now. A recent article in The Sydney Morning Herald documented some of the carnage….The 46-member Bloomberg Europe Banks and Financial Services Index has fallen 31 per cent this year. RBS tumbled 49 per cent, Barclays 44 per cent and France’s Societe Generale 48 per cent.Credit Suisse and UBS both reported a 71 per cent drop in investment-banking earnings in the second quarter. Revenue at Edinburgh-based RBS’s securities unit dropped 35 per cent in the period, while London-based Barclays Capital posted a 27 per cent decline in pretax profit.Things in Europe continue to get worse and worse and worse.Do not take your eyes off of Europe. This crisis is just getting started.Not that there aren’t huge debt problems around the rest of the globe as well.Japan has a national debt that is now over 200 percent of GDP, and they are really struggling to recover from the recent disasters that devastated that nation.
Moody’s has just downgraded Japanese government debt one notch to Aa3, and more downgrades could be coming. For now Japan is still able to borrow huge piles of money very, very cheaply but if that changes Japan could be wiped out very quickly.
Of course the nation with the biggest debt of all is the United States.At the moment, the U.S. national debt is sitting at a grand total of$14,649,289,670,347.85.
Fortunately, the U.S. is also able to borrow massive amounts of money very, very cheaply right now. But when that changes it is going to be absolutely cataclysmic for our economy.Sadly, our politicians continue to act as if this debt binge can go on forever.According to the Congressional Budget Office, the budget deficit for the federal government will be about 1.28 trillion dollars this year. This will be the third year in a row that we have had a budget deficit of over a trillion dollars.To put that in perspective, from George Washington to Ronald Reagan the U.S. government racked up a grand total of about one trillion dollars of debt. But this year alone we will go 1.28 trillion dollars more into debt.At the moment, the U.S. national debt is expanding by about 2 and a half million dollars every single minute. It is hard to put into words how absolutely foolish that is.As I wrote about yesterday, someone needs to wake up America. Our debt is exploding and our economy is dying.
We haven’t even solved the problems caused by the last financial crisis. The real estate market is still a gigantic mess. Purchases of both new and previously existing homes in the United States continue to fall.But there will never be a housing recovery until there is a jobs recovery, and our politicians continue to stand by and watch as millions of our jobs are shipped overseas.Unemployment is rampant, and even many of those that do have jobs are barely able to survive.Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs. Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs.That is not a good trend.Sadly, it looks like things are not going to get much better any time soon.Right now, the Congressional Budget Office is projecting that unemployment in the U.S. will remain above 8% until 2014.That should really scare you, because government numbers are almost always way too optimistic. The folks in the federal government hardly ever project that unemployment will actually go up.So if they are saying that unemployment will remain above 8 percent until 2014, the truth is that things will probably be worse than that.We have entered very frightening times. We are on the verge of a massive global debt meltdown, and nobody is sure what is going to happen next.Let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst.
9/11 After A Decade: Have We Learned Anything?
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts Infowars.com August 24, 2011
In a few days it will be the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001. How well has the US government’s official account of the event held up over the decade? Not very well. The chairman, vice chairman, and senior legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission wrote books partially disassociating themselves from the commission’s report. They said that the Bush administration put obstacles in their path, that information was withheld from them, that President Bush agreed to testify only if he was chaperoned by Vice President Cheney and neither were put under oath, that Pentagon and FAA officials lied to the commission and that the commission considered referring the false testimony for investigation for obstruction of justice.In their book, the chairman and vice chairman, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, wrote that the 9/11 Commission was set up to fail. Senior counsel John Farmer, Jr., wrote
that the US government made a decision not to tell the truth about what happened, and that the NORAD tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public. Kean said, We to this day don’t know why NORAD told us what they told us, it was just so far from the truth.Most of the questions from the 9/11 families were not answered. Important witnesses were not called. The commission only heard from those who supported the government’s account. The commission was a controlled political operation, not an investigation of events and evidence. Its membership consisted of former politicians. No knowledgeable experts were appointed to the commission.One member of the 9/11 Commission, former Senator Max Cleland, responded to the constraints placed on the commission by the White House: If this decision stands, I, as a member of the commission, cannot look any American in the eye, especially family members of victims, and say the commission had full access. This investigation is now compromised.Cleland resigned rather than have his integrity compromised.
To be clear, neither Cleland nor members of the commission suggested that 9/11 was an inside job to advance a war agenda. Nevertheless, neither Congress nor the media wondered, at least not out loud, why President Bush was unwilling to appear before the commission under oath or without Cheney, why Pentagon and FAA officials lied to the commission or, if the officials did not lie, why the commission believed they lied, or why the White House resisted for so long any kind of commission being formed, even one under its control.One would think that if a handful of Arabs managed to outwit not merely the CIA and FBI but all 16 US intelligence agencies, all intelligence agencies of our allies including Mossad, the National Security Council, the State Department, NORAD, airport security four times on one morning, air traffic control, etc., the President, Congress, and the media would be demanding to know how such an improbable event could occur. Instead, the White House put up a wall of resistance to finding out, and Congress and the media showed little interest.
During the decade that has passed, numerous 9/11 Truth organizations have formed.
There are Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Remember Building 7.org, and a New York group which includes 9/11 families. These groups call for a real investigation.
David Ray Griffen has written 10 carefully researched books documenting problems in the government’s account. Scientists have pointed out that the government has no explanation for the molten steel. NIST has been forced to admit that WTC 7 was in free fall for part of its descent, and a scientific team led by a professor of nano-chemistry at the University of Copenhagen has reported finding nano-thermite in the dust from the buildings.Larry Silverstein, who had the lease on the World Trade Center buildings, said in a PBS broadcast that the decision was made to pull Building 7 late in the afternoon of 9/11. Chief fire marshals have said that no forensic investigation was made of the buildings’ destruction and that the absence of investigation was a violation of law.
Some efforts have been made to explain away some of the evidence that is contrary to the official account, but most of the contrary evidence is simply ignored. The fact remains that the skepticism of a large number of knowledgeable experts has had no effect on the government’s position other than a member of the Obama administration suggesting that the government infiltrate the 9/11 truth organizations in order to discredit them.The practice has been to brand experts not convinced by the government’s case conspiracy theorists. But of course the government’s own theory is a conspiracy theory, an even less likely one once a person realizes its full implication of intelligence and operational failures. The implied failures are extraordinarily large; yet,no one was ever held accountable.Moreover, what do 1,500 architects and engineers have to gain from being ridiculed as conspiracy theorists? They certainly will never receive another government contract, and many surely lost business as a result of their anti-American stance. Their competitors must have made hay out of their unpatriotic doubts. Indeed, my reward for reporting on how matters stand a decade after the event will be mail telling me that as I hate America so much I should move to Cuba.Scientists have even less incentive to express any doubts, which probably explains why there are not 1,500 Physicists for 9/11 Truth. Few physicists have careers independent of government grants or contracts. It was a high school physics teacher who forced NIST to abandon its account of Building 7’s demise. Physicist Stephen Jones, who first reported finding evidence of explosives, had his tenure bought out by BYU, which no doubt found itself under government pressure.We can explain away contrary evidence as coincidences and mistakes and conclude that only the government got it all correct, the same government that got everything else wrong.In fact, the government has not explained anything. The NIST report is merely a simulation of what might have caused the towers to fail if NIST’s assumptions programed into the computer model are correct. But NIST supplies no evidence that its assumptions are correct.
Building 7 was not mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report, and many Americans are still unaware that three buildings came down on 9/11.Let me be clear about my point. I am not saying that some black op group in the neoconservative Bush administration blew up the buildings in order to advance the neoconservative agenda of war in the Middle East. If there is evidence of a coverup, it could be the government covering up its incompetence and not its complicity in the event. Even if there were definite proof of government complicity, it is uncertain that Americans could accept it. Architects, engineers, and scientists live in a fact-based community, but for most people facts are no match for emotions.My point is how uninquisitive the executive branch including the security agencies, Congress, the media, and much of the population are about the defining event of our time.There is no doubt that 9/11 is the determinant event. It has led to a decade of ever expanding wars, to the shredding of the Constitution, and to a police state. On August 22 Justin Raimondo reported that he and his website, Antiwar.com, are being monitored by the FBI’s Electronic Communication Analysis Unit to determine if Antiwar.com is a threat to National Security working on behalf of a foreign power.Francis A. Boyle, an internationally known professor and attorney of international law, has reported that when he refused a joint FBI-CIA request to violate the attorney/client privilege and become an informant on his Arab-American clients, he was placed on the US government’s terrorist watch list.Boyle has been critical of the US government’s approach to the Muslim world, but Raimondo has never raised, nor permitted any contributor to raise, any suspicion about US government complicity in 9/11. Raimondo merely opposes war, and that is enough for the FBI to conclude that he needs watching as a possible threat to national security.The US government’s account of 9/11 is the foundation of the open-ended wars that are exhausting America’s resources and destroying its reputation, and it is the foundation of the domestic police state that ultimately will shut down all opposition to the wars. Americans are bound to the story of the 9/11 Muslim terrorist attack, because it is what justifies the slaughter of civilian populations in several Muslim countries, and it justifies a domestic police state as the only means of securing safety from terrorists, who already have morphed into domestic extremists such as environmentalists, animal rights groups, and antiwar activists.Today Americans are unsafe, not because of terrorists and domestic extremists, but because they have lost their civil liberties and have no protection from unaccountable government power. One would think that how this came about would be worthy of public debate and congressional hearings.
FDA wages secret war on raw milk farmers using KGB-style spying and infiltration techniques Mike Adams Infowars.com August 25, 2011
After weeks of investigation, NaturalNews can now reveal that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is waging a clandestine war on raw milk dairy farmers through a network of government spies who are coached on infiltration and social engineering techniques. Resembling the Stasi East German police or KGB of the former Soviet Union, these undercover FDA agents meet each month for a “spying roundtable” phone conference called the Raw Milk Call during which techniques of infiltration are openly discussed and encouraged.NaturalNews can now reveal that the majority of these undercover FDA agents are women, who are more easily able to infiltrate the raw dairy community with techniques of social engineering (see below).The existence of this elaborate spying operation has been confirmed by NaturalNews through three different sources, all of which demanded anonymity as they fear being targeted by the FDA with armed raids, false arrest and destruction of their property, as we recently witnessed with the Rawesome Foods raid. One source told NaturalNews they feared the FDA would stage a Waco-style siege of their farm and invent some justification to assault their farmhouse and shoot them and their family. Yes, this is how much freedom has been lost in America today, where farmers are afraid to speak out for fear they might be killed. And yet, it’s not paranoia: They have legitimate reason to fear their own government is targeting them for termination.
FDA uses KGB-style techniques to infiltrate raw dairy networks
Through these sources, NaturalNews has learned the FDA coaches its network of spies to engage in KGB-style social engineering techniques in order to win the trust of the very people it then targets for armed raids and arrest. Those techniques include:
• FDA agents visiting local farmers’ markets and gathering names of possible raw milk providers to be targeted.
• FDA agents calling those targets and trying to convince them to sell raw dairy products by telling sob stories of how they have a baby that can’t breastfeed, and they need raw goat’s milk to keep the baby alive. (This is why most undercover FDA agents are women — they make more convincing social engineers when it comes to issues like finding goat’s milk to feed babies.)
• FDA agents engage in name-dropping of others in the raw dairy community in order to imply trust. In California, for example, they might say, I spoke with Mark McAfee at Organic Pastures, and he told me to talk to you. This technique impresses the target, thinking they have been recommended by a big name in the raw dairy industry. In reality, the whole story is fiction and is just used by FDA spies to try to ensnare other raw dairy producers.
• FDA is building a secret government database of raw dairy customers. This is accomplished by training its spies and agents to demand the confiscation of customer lists from raw dairy farmers. Such lists are then delivered to FDA headquarters in Washington D.C. where they are added to a growing database of names, email addresses and sometimes even home addresses. It is not known what the FDA ultimately plans to do with this list.
• FDA pays huge sums of cash each month to various state agriculture departments, then sends top-level FDA infiltration agents to those states to train state-level agents in these same clandestine techniques. As one example, NaturalNews has learned the FDA currently pays the Wisconsin Dept. of Agriculture more than $80,000 a month for it to spend on these raw dairy spying and infiltration schemes. Shortly after the program was launched, FDA flew several of its top agents to Wisconsin to walk the local farmers’ markets with spies-in-training agents, teaching them spying and infiltration techniques in what was essentially a Raw milk spy camp.
• FDA agents have been well trained and schooled on running elaborate entrapment schemes which are operated with the sole purpose of persuading small, local raw dairy farmers to break the law or violate FDA regulations so that the FDA can justify an armed raid on their farm operation.
• Many millions of dollars (NaturalNews could not get accurate numbers on the total expenditures) are being spent by the FDA on these spying and infiltration programs. None of these programs are reported to Congress. None are reported to the press. These are entirely dark operations conducted behind the scenes, with no official announcements, and with no desire to attract publicity of any kind. They are, essentially, secret wars being conducted against America’s farmers, with no congressional approval whatsoever.
• NaturalNews was told that FDA head Margaret Hamburg is not only authorizing these secret spying operations, but that she took a personal role in structuring the operations so that they would not be made public. NaturalNews has not yet been able to confirm this allegation, since obviously the FDA outright refuses to return our phone calls, insisting on operating entirely in secret.
• As part of its secret spying and social engineering effort, the FDA also runs a national farmer intimidation program where FDA agents dressed in what look like FBI or agency uniforms just show up at farmers’ homes and engage in verbal intimidation in order to dissuade farmers from producing or marketing raw dairy products. This is done without a warrant and completely outside the law. Farmers are routinely told that if they talk about this, they will be targeted with armed raids.
• One farmer was told, If you go public with this, we will come back and have your entire herd destroyed by claiming your cows are infected with mad cow disease. This is a classic secret police-style intimidation technique, and it explains why so few raw dairy farmers have been willing to step forward and go public with their stories. One sheep farmer was already targeted and had his entire flock of sheep murdered by the FDA working in conspiracy with state agriculture officials, under the false pretense that the sheep were infected. This particular instance is covered in the film Farmageddon, at www.FarmageddonMovie.com
• FDA officials have stated, during these monthly Raw Milk Calls, that their goal is the complete destruction of the raw dairy industry in the United States, and that achieving this goal was a top priority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
• FDA has also stated that it plans to use the increased funding provided to it under the Food Safety Modernization Act to expand its secret spying and infiltration network and train even more spies to entrap and intimidate raw dairy farmers.
• Many of the people now attempting to join raw milk buying clubs and meet-up groups are actually undercover FDA agents who are gathering names, emails, addresses and other evidence to be used to justify future armed FDA raids. National lists are being drawn up and prioritized to create hit lists of farms to raid under the Food Safety Modernization Act.
• Salaries and bonuses of clandestine FDA employees are raised based on the performance of how many raw dairy operations are shut down, how many customer names are confiscated, successful raw milk buys and other key milestones of oppression and tyranny that are set by the FDA. In this way, FDA agents are financially rewarded based on the number of American farmers they crush.
The FDA’s secret war reveals how the U.S. government is headed toward total police state tyranny
That this situation exists in the United States today is a disturbing and powerful commentary on the runaway power of regulatory agencies which have essentially built their own lawless kingdoms of power, subject to no law and no checks or balances.
The FDA, in particular, simply writes its own law without any congressional approval whatsoever. It wages its own secret wars, runs its own spy network and is essentially rising up to become its own secret police organization (or terrorist group). None of this has ever been approved by Congress. The head of the FDA is not elected by the voters. And President Obama is either unaware that all this is going on or refuses to do anything about it. (President Bush did nothing about it, either, and you can bet that unless the next President is Ron Paul, this same look-the-other-way attitude will continue at the White House).The FDA, notably, far from protecting Americans from dangerous foods and drugs, now sees the people as the enemy and spends an inordinate amount of its time and money waging secret spying campaigns and plotting armed raids against innocents. If this rise to power continues, the FDA will effectively become the KGB of agriculture, eventually wielding its own firearms and running terror-style hit-and-run assaults on people engaged in small-scale organic farming, gardening or raw dairy production. This is, essentially, all-out war against the American people, and it’s all being funded by your taxpayer dollars and carried out with the full tolerance of the President himself.President Obama could put a stop to this if he wanted to. The FDA could be reeled in and de-funded. It could be split into two separate agencies: Foods, and then Drugs as a separate agency. Congress could pass a food freedom rights law that guarantees the protection of farmers (of course, the FDA would probably just ignore it, as the agency respects absolutely no law whatsoever).
The growing revolt against the FDA’s war on innocents
NaturalNews has learned, through its own network of informants, that the most likely outcome of all this is a growing citizens’ revolt against FDA tyranny. While this revolt is so far focused on peaceful protest and non-violent resistance against the FDA’s secret war on Americans, it is my personal belief that at some point we will witness an escalation where FDA agents who are discovered and outed wind up shot in the head, or farmers begin to fight back and defend their farms against FDA raids through the use of firearms — which is, of course, their right.That’s the whole point of the Second Amendment, of course: To give the citizens of America a fighting chance against oppressive government. This is why the right to own firearms was specifically placed in the Bill of Rights, just after the right to Free Speech. It was not put there as a right to go hunting or to engage in sport shooting. It was written there specifically as a way for the citizens to protect themselves from government tyrants who, throughout history, have always — always! — overstepped their bounds to become tyrannical, oppressive regimes that end up using guns against innocent citizens.It is only the mass armament of the People that creates the ultimate balance of keeping government power in check. When the FDA enforces its criminal agenda through the threat of guns, it is up to the People to invoke their own Second Amendment protections in response and present an armed, lawful, protective resistance against tyranny that tells the FDA,If you continue down this path, you will be fired upon.I believe we are very close to entering the age of a shooting war between farmers and the FDA. I would encourage the FDA agents who are no doubt reading this to strongly consider: Is your war against raw milk worth risking your life? Here at NaturalNews, we do not want to see this situation devolve into a shooting war, and yet, as President John F. Kennedy famously said: Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.Unless the FDA backs off from these secret police tactics, in other words, the agency can expect to be dealing with a whole new problem: Lead poisoning. This is the FDA’s own fault, of course. When farmers are stripped of their God-given right to produce honest food and sell it to their neighbors, and when they are treated like criminals and terrorists by an out-of-control, rogue federal agency that respects no law and no rights, it is only a matter of time before some of these farmers are driven to the point of shooting back. And I dare say, farmers are far better shots than FDA agents.
Help us end this insanity by leaking intel
NaturalNews has already received information hinting that even many agents within the FDA are fed up with the agency’s illegal war on farmers. If you work for the FDA, or with the FDA, or participated in FDA raids in any way, and if you have intelligence that needs to be made public to help end this secret war, NaturalNews will protect your anonymity, just as we have the other sources who provided intelligence for this story.
You may submit tips to us at: http://www.naturalnews.com/newstips…
Our goal is to see the FDA’s war exposed, to see Congress take action to halt the FDA’s actions, and to see the rights of farmers protected under law. We do not wish to see this escalate into the violence that now seems likely.Obviously, do not submit tips to us from your work computer, because that can be tracked. Use an internet cafe so that your IP address cannot be tracked by anyone. Do NOT include your real name, and if you give us an email address, make sure it is an anonymous email that would not link back to your actual name or work location. Remember: The government is also tracking and reading your emails, so take all necessary steps to protect your privacy and safety. We are, after all, dealing with a terrorist organization in the FDA. The FDA may stop at nothing to protect its power and continue waging its war on American farmers.NaturalNews is actively gathering and distributing intelligence on this situation, publicizing the truth that the FDA wants to keep secret — that it is waging a clandestine, illegal war against America’s farmers, using Stasi-style, or KGB-inspired secret police tactics combined with the threat of violence to crush resistance. This is a campaign of terrorism being waged against innocent farmers in America, and it is a sign of a government out of control… a government which, in many ways, has become an enemy of the People and an enemy of freedom.
The FDA wants MORE power
And the FDA is just getting warmed up. Once the new funding from the Food Safety Modernization Act kicks in, this agency promises to unleash an army of new agents to sweep across the countryside, detaining gardeners and small farmers, demanding show me your papers! Meanwhile, its agents will be terrorizing, intimidating and threatening everyone except the big agriculture giants which are always exempt from government scrutiny (even though they are the ones causing all the food safety problems in the first place).If the FDA is not stopped, it is positioned to rise up as the most dangerous government-run terrorist organization America has ever seen. Already responsible for the death of at least 100,000 Americans each year who die from taking FDA-approved medications, this agency is now hell bent on destroying an entire food-producing industry while exploiting the most insidious tactics of intimidation and oppression that have ever been used throughout the world’s most criminal regimes: Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler and others.We are watching the history of tyrannical government oppression repeat itself here, and just as Mao murdered hundreds of thousands of intellectuals, and Hitler gassed millions of Jews, the FDA is determined to silence and destroy the livelihoods of countless American farmers who are only guilty of weapons of mass nutrition.(http://counterthink.com/Rawesome_Fo…)
May God help us all. What we need to see right now is the Dept. of Justice conducting an armed raid on the FDA, arresting all the top FDA officials and charging them with criminal conspiracy to deprive American farmers of their rights.
Only then can we see justice served in America… and the rights of a free people protected under law.Sources for this story-This story is triple-sourced.

Irene flays Bahamas as North Carolina watches, NY waits Reuters By Neil Hartnell – AUG 25,11
NASSAU (Reuters) – Hurricane Irene washed away homes in the Bahamas on Thursday as the powerful storm wielding battering winds and rain headed toward the eastern seaboard including densely populated New York and New England.U.S. emergency officials have urged millions of people from the Carolinas north to New England to be on the alert for Irene, now a major Category 3 storm, which is forecast to rake up the coast starting Saturday.New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the United States' most populous city was bracing to experience at least tropical storm conditions and flooding starting on Sunday from Irene, which could hit Long Island as a Category 2 hurricane.We hope for the best but prepare for the worst, Bloomberg told a news conference, adding some evacuations could be possible. The city is positioning rescue boats and helicopters, working to minimize street flooding and gearing up at hospitals.The city has already seen the power of Mother Nature once this week, and Mother Nature may not be done with us yet,Bloomberg said, referring to the 5.8 magnitude earthquake that shook the East Coast on Tuesday.The northern part of the North Carolina coast went on a hurricane watch in anticipation of Irene's forecast landfall on Saturday evening in the state's eastern Outer Banks barrier islands, which are popular with vacationers in the summer.Weather Underground private forecaster Rob Carver wrote, I think that there is a 75 percent chance Irene's secondary landfall will be somewhere between (New York's) JFK airport and Cape Cod ... Irene's size will cause significant impacts for people living far from its center.The U.S. Navy said ships of the Second Fleet based in Hampton Roads, Virginia, were under orders to put out to sea as a precaution to ride out the upcoming storm. Officers said large ships can better weather big storms at sea than in port.
North Carolina authorities have already started evacuations from exposed barrier islands, while residents along the East Coast rushed to stock up on food and water supplies, boarded up windows and secured roofs, vehicles and boats.Irene, which already caused the deaths this week of at least one person in Puerto Rico and two in the Dominican Republic, with others reported missing, was lashing the Bahamas capital, Nassau, with heavy rains and gusting winds on Thursday.On Wednesday, it tore through sparsely populated low-lying southeastern islands in the Atlantic archipelago.The Bahamas newspaper The Tribune reported on its website that on Acklins Island homes have been completely washed away or have lost entire roofs, power lines have been downed and trees are blocking roads.Many residents sought safety in shelters. No report on casualties was immediately available.
U.S. REFINERIES, NUCLEAR PLANTS PREPARE
At 11 a.m., Irene was packing winds of 115 miles per hour and was located about 75 miles north northeast of Nassau.Power was out in the Bahamian capital and many streets were impassable, with large trees down, The Tribune reported. The Bahamas Department of Meteorology said a station in Arthur's Town, Cat Island, had recorded a gust of 143 mph (229 km/h).Many tourists in the Bahamas had already fled the storm and major cruise lines canceled stops there.The first hurricane of the storm-filled 2011 Atlantic season was expected to gain strength after it leaves the Bahamas on Thursday and race across open waters to clip North Carolina's jutting Outer Banks region on Saturday.After that, forecasters see it hugging the U.S. eastern seaboard, swirling rains and winds across several hundred miles (km) as it churns northward toward New England.Forecasters warned that even if the center of the hurricane stays offshore as it tracks up the mid-Atlantic coast, its wide bands could lash cities including Washington and New York with winds and rain, knock out power, trigger coastal storm surges and cause flooding.Oil terminals, refineries and nuclear plants from the Bahamas to Rhode Island were preparing.Four catastrophe bonds totaling over $1 billion could leave financial investors exposed to insured losses if Hurricane Irene makes a U.S. landfall.The Miami-based NHC said Irene would move over northwest Bahamas on Thursday and pass well offshore of central and north Florida later on Thursday and early on Friday.U.S. National Hurricane Center Director Bill Read warned on Wednesday that Irene could become a big threat for New England and perhaps Long Island from Sunday onward.If Irene makes a direct landfall in the continental United States, it will be the first hurricane to hit there since Ike pounded Texas in 2008. But forecasts showed it posing no threat to U.S. oil and gas installations in the Gulf of Mexico.Insurers kept a nervous watch in case Irene threatened wealthy enclaves such as the Hamptons, an eastern Long Island playground for New York's rich.

NC counties tell thousands to leave as Irene looms
AP By MITCH WEISS and MARTHA WAGGONER, Associated Press – AUG 25,11
BUXTON, N.C. – Thousands were fleeing an exposed strip of coastal villages and beaches off North Carolina on Thursday as Irene approached, threatening to become the first major hurricane to hit the East Coast in seven years.Hours after a hurricane watch was issued for much of the state's coast, emergency officials expanded evacuation orders to include hundreds of thousands of tourists and locals in three counties. The areas include the barrier island chain known as the Outer Banks, which is expected to take the brunt of Irene's first hit over the weekend.The governors of North Carolina and Virginia also made emergency declarations to free up storm recovery resources, while the Navy began moving dozens of ships out to sea from ports in Irene's path. And emergency officials all the way to New England were urging residents in low-lying areas to gather supplies and learn the way to a safe location.The storm is expected to come ashore Saturday in North Carolina with winds of around 115 (185 kph). Forecasters predict it will then chug up the East Coast, dumping rain from Virginia to New York City before a much-weakened form trudges through New England.As the sun rose over North Carolina's barrier islands, tourists packed suitcases in their cars, while locals stocked up on food, water and gas. Traffic was moving briskly Thursday morning on the two-lane highway that cuts through many of the coastal communities, but many feared that would change.It's going to be a mess, said 66-year-old Buxton resident Leon Reasor as he stood inside a local bait shop. Anyone who tells you they're not worried is a liar.An evacuation order for an estimated 150,000 visitors took effect Thursday in Dare County, while its 35,000 permanent residents were told to begin leaving the next day. Tourists and locals in Hyde County were also told to move inland, as were visitors in Currituck County.
It wouldn't behoove anyone to stay in these circumstances,Dare County emergency management spokeswoman Sharon Sullivan said. Businesses are boarding up. Nobody can guarantee their safety.Craig Fugate, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said residents should pay attention to local broadcasters to see if an evacuation order is made. Among the most important tasks, he said, was figuring out a safe place to go before hitting the road.When you evacuate, you want to know where you're going and make sure you have somewhere to go, not just get on the road with everybody else and hope you find some place, Fugate said Thursday on CBS's The Early Show.All along the East Coast, officials were calculating what they needed to do as Irene continued its march across the Caribbean toward the U.S. The Navy ordered 64 ships to leave Norfolk and other Virginia ports, saying they can better weather the storm at sea.New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg urged residents living in low-lying areas on Thursday to line up a place to stay on high ground ahead of possible evacuations this weekend. He said he would make a decision by late Friday on whether to evacuate neighborhoods along the water in several boroughs.Even without hurricane-force winds, northeastern states already drenched from a rainy August could see flooding and fallen trees from Irene.You want to go into a hurricane threat with dry soil, low rivers, a half moon, New Jersey state climatologist David Robinson said.That is not the case. The Garden State has gotten twice as much rain this month as in a normal August, and high tide happens at 8 a.m. EDT on Sunday, when Irene might be passing by.Early Thursday, the storm was pounding the Bahamas with widespread damage reported on at least two southern islands. It was a powerful Category 3 hurricane with winds at 115 mph (185 kph). Forecasters said the winds will ramp up quickly over the next day and Irene was expected to blow into a monstrous Category 4 with winds at least 131 mph (210 mph).While the storm's path isn't definite, officials are taking nothing for granted.
In Maryland, inspections of bridges looking for cracks in the support piers and other structural features found no damage, according to state transportation agency spokeswoman Teri Moss. In Virginia, with a southeastern corner that could be in Irene's way, cities along the coast are reviewing their evacuation plans, said Laura Southard, spokeswoman for the state Department of Emergency Management.Farther north, precautions so far were mainly wait-and-see as officials watched for developments in the forecast.New York City officials had begun preparations to evacuate residents from low-lying areas of the city if necessary. The city's subway stations and tunnels would likely be flooded in places, and officials plan to shut the system down ahead of time to reduce damage to the infrastructure.Roads and bridges in Massachusetts are likely to bear the weather in good condition, said Peter Judge, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. But the agency is planning for flooding and is keeping an eye on the 3,000 public and private dams throughout the state.North Carolina's Outer Banks have a long history of hurricanes, and building codes and emergency plans reflect that. Structures in the region are designed to withstand up to 110 mph sustained winds and gusts of up to 130 mph for three minutes. Evacuation routes are meticulously planned, down to the order in which counties hit the road.Some of the region's most popular destinations rely on the ailing Bonner Bridge, which was built in 1963 and intended to last 30 years, to connect Hatteras Island to the northern Outer Banks. There's no other way to reach Hatteras except by boat.The bridge handles about 2 million cars a year and the state DOT ranks it a 2 on its safety meter, with 100 being the highest, or most safe, designation.We're going to shift people and resources around to do what we need to do and keep the roads open, said North Carolina Department of Transportation spokeswoman Nicole Meister. The 2.7-mile bridge won't stay open if it's deemed unsafe — which happened during Hurricane Earl last year — but the state has an emergency ferry terminal ready in that case to get people off the island, Meister said.
Tourists in Buxton were sad to cut their vacations short, but said they understood the urgency of the situation.New Jersey accountant John Robeson brought his wife and children — ages 8 and 4 — down for a week, but their vacation was cut short after three days.I'm disappointed, he said as he loaded his car. You wait all year. Talk about it. Make plans for your vacation. And now this. It's a bad break.His wife, Marlene, agreed. I'm worried about traffic. I don't want to be stuck on the highway when the storm hits,she said.Associated Press writers Tom Breen and Michael Biesecker in Raleigh, N.C.; Larry O'Dell in Richmond, Va.; Geoff Mulvihill in Trenton, N.J.; Brian Witte in Baltimore, Md.; Brock Vergakis in Norfolk, Va.; Johanna Kaiser in Boston; and Meghan Barr and Samantha Gross in New York contributed to this report.
New tropical depression forms in the Atlantic
AP – Thu Aug 25, 6:15 am ET
MIAMI – A new tropical depression has formed far out over the Atlantic with forecasters saying it will likely become a tropical storm.The depression's maximum sustained winds early Thursday are near 35 mph (55 kph). But the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says additional strengthening is expected and it's likely to become a tropical storm later in the day.The depression is centered about 435 miles (700 kilometers) west-southwest of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands and is moving west-northwest near 13 mph (20 kph).Meanwhile farther west, Hurricane Irene is threatening the U.S. East Coast.
Monsoon rains trigger floods, kill 16 in Pakistan
AP By RIAZ KHAN, Associated Press – AUG 25,11
PESHAWAR, Pakistan – Flash floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains swept through a village in northwestern Pakistan, killing 16 people and leaving several others missing, disaster management officials said Thursday.The floods hit the remote Kundian Valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province Wednesday, destroying houses and other infrastructure, said Syed Asghar Ali Shah, the acting head of disaster management in the province.Rescue operations and relief operations have been hampered by bridges and roads that were damaged last year in the worst flooding in Pakistan's history and have not been fixed, said Shah. Authorities sent two helicopters to help with the operations and hope to send another tomorrow, he said.Heavy rains are expected to continue in the area for at least another 24 hours, according to Pakistan's meteorological department.Monsoon rains begin in July in Pakistan and often lead to flooding. The floods that hit last year inundated about one-fifth of the country — an area the size of the United Kingdom — and affected up to 20 million people.
Experts have warned that many citizens are more vulnerable to flooding this year because they have not recovered from last year's tragedy.

IAF Strikes Terror Targets in Gaza-IAF aircraft target terror targets in the Gaza Strip in response to the rocket barrage on Wednesday evening.by Elad Benari
Published: 25/08/11, 2:34 AM
IAF aircraft targeted overnight Wednesday a weapons storage facility in the northern Gaza Strip as well as a smuggling tunnel and weapons manufacturing site in the southern Gaza Strip.The IDF Spokesperson said in a statement that direct hits were confirmed.The sites were targeted in response to the firing of rockets from Gaza at Israel Wednesday evening, said the statement.Gaza-based media sources said that three Palestinian Arabs were seriously injured in the air strike.Gaza terrorists launched at least 16 rocket and mortar attacks at communities across the region on Wednesday evening. Two Israelis were wounded in the night-long barrage, including a baby.A few minutes after midnight, three medium-range Grad Katyusha missiles were fired at Be'er Sheva. The Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepted two of the projectiles, destroying them upon impact. The third landed in an open area on the outskirts of the city. No physical injuries or damage was reported.An hour earlier in Ashkelon a 9-month-old baby was seriously hurt by flying shards of glass when a Gaza missile scored a direct hit on the private vehicle in which she was riding.
The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, and will not hesitate to respond with strength and determination to any element that uses terror against the State of Israel and until calm is restored, the IDF said in its statement.
Tehran Suing Moscow Over S-300 Contracts-Iran is suing Russia for failing to deliver the S-300 air defense system - a key item Tehran wanted to safeguard its nuclear sites.by Gavriel Queenann Published: 25/08/11, 7:30 PM
Iran announced Thursday it is suing Moscow for failing to deliver the S-300 air defense system to Iran, the semi-official Iranian Fars news agency reported.
Iranian ambassador to Russia Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi told reporters the lawsuit had been filed with the International Court of Justice. The Islamic Republic contracted with Russia in 2007 for the delivery of at least five S-300 air defense systems, according to the report.The International Court of Justice, also knows as the World Court, is the judicial branch of the United Nations organization. It operates out of The Hague, Netherlands, where it is responsible for settling disputes between states who have.In 2007, Russia and Iran claimed that UN Security Council Resolution 1929 did not apply to the S-300 system because it was not listed specifically in the text. The resolution, passed on June 9, 2010, imposes sanctions on Iran for harboring a secret nuclear weapons program and failing to comply with requests by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect nuclear facilities. It prohibits economic and military cooperation with the Islamic Republic, thereby prohibiting the sale and delivery of the weapons system.The S-300 missile is not in contradiction with any international commitments of the two sides (Iran and Russia) and the issue is clearly emphasized in the deal, on the other hand the date of delivery of the missile system was two years before the adoption of the UN Security Council recent resolution against Iran, Iranian Minister of Defense Ahmad Vahidi told Azerbaijan's Trend News Agency in October 2010.
�
Although Russia originally assured Iran that it would deliver the system, considerable Western pressure eventually convinced Moscow to cancel the deal. The cancellation caused the Islamic Republic, who had touted its aquisition as a major deterrent to a strike by Western powers on its nuclear program, to lose face.The lawsuit comes as tensions between Iran and Russia, whom Iran contracted to aid in constructing its nuclear facilities, have spiked due to delays in the completion of Tehran's Bushehr nuclear reactor. The reactor, which was to be completed in 1999, has yet to be complete.
Egypt: We Forbade an Israeli Gaza Operation-Egyptian ambassador to PA: We want a clear, strong apology and a pledge to not to repeat such acts.by Gil Ronen Published: 25/08/11, 6:55 PM
Yasser Othman, the Egyptian ambassador to the Palestinian Authority, said Wednesday that there Egyptian-Israeli relations are still tense after the killing of five Egyptian soldiers last week, in the aftermath of a murderous terror attack on Israel.
Egypt had forbidden Israel from launching a large-scale operation in Gaza, he added.
�We want a clear, strong apology and a pledge to not to repeat such acts in the future,he told Bethlehem-based Maan News. Egypt's cabinet said that it was not enough that Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and President Shimon Peres expressed regret over the incident. According to Maan, Othman said that Israel did not launch a large-scale operation because they fear the Egyptian people’s reaction.The Egyptian side has felt after the Eilat operation that Israel intends to [get] revenge, he said, adding that Egypt sent a strong message to Israel saying it won’t allow an operation to take place.The Eilat terror attacks in which 8 Israelis were murdered had nothing to do with Egypt, Othman said, and investigations are ongoing on both sides.

Moammar Gadhafi urges Libyans to destroy rebels
AP AUG 25,11
CAIRO – Moammar Gadhafi has called on Libyans to destroy the rebels who have overtaken Tripoli forced his regime into hiding. The appeal comes as intense fighting has erupted in the Libyan capital.The maverick leader made the plea Thursday in a brief audio statement broadcast on Al-Arabiya and other Arab stations.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — An intense battle has erupted between about 1,000 rebels surrounding two buildings filled with Moammar Gadhafi loyalists in the neighborhood next to the Libyan leader's captured compound.Associated Press reporters on the scene Thursday said rebels were hammering the buildings with heavy gunfire and a huge explosion from the battle scene sent a large plume of white smoke.
Mahmoud Bakoush, a rebel commander at the site, says there are rumors that one of Gadhafi's sons might be in the buildings, but they are unconfirmed.
Intense battles erupt near Gadhafi seized compound
AP By HADEEL AL-SHALCHI and PAUL SCHEMM, Associated Press – AUG 25,11
TRIPOLI, Libya – Intense battles raged Thursday between about 1,000 rebels surrounding 10 buildings filled with Moammar Gadhafi loyalists in the neighborhood next to the Libyan leader's captured compound. Gadhafi, in a new audio message, called on Libyans to destroy the rebels.A regime spokesman told The Associated Press Gadhafi is safely in hiding and leading the battle against the rebels.AP reporters on the scene of the battle in the Abu Salim neighborhood said rebels were hammering at least 10 buildings sheltering Gadhafi loyalists with anti-aircraft guns. There were huge explosions, and the air was clogged with smoke. At least three of the buildings were burning.They are holding at least 10 tall buildings. They have heavy weaponry, maybe even a tank, Mohammed Karami, a rebel involved in the battle, said of the Gadhafi loyalists.Mahmoud Bakoush, a rebel commander at the site, said there were rumors that one of Gadhafi's sons might be in the buildings, but they are unconfirmed.Don't leave Tripoli for the rats. Fight them, fight them, and kill them, Gadhafi said in audio message broadcast on Al-Arabiya television. It is the time for martyrdom or victory, he said, calling tribes outside the capital to continue their march to Tripoli. He said imams in mosques should call for youths to rise up for jihad.He warned that the rebels will enter people's homes and rape their women.They will enter your houses and deprive you of your honor, he said. NATO can't remain in the air all the time.
Gadhafi spokesman Moussa Ibrahim, in a call to AP's Cairo office, said the longtime dictator was in Libya and his morale was high. Gadhafi is indeed leading the battle for our freedom and independence said Ibrahim, who was recognizable by his voice.
Ibrahim refused to say where Gadhafi was hiding. Ibrahim, who had for months appeared daily in televised news conferences since the start of the rebellion six months ago, added he himself was in an undisclosed location in Libya and constantly on the move.All of the leader's family are fine, Ibrahim said, adding that top military and political aides remained with Gadhafi.He said Gadhafi was capable of continuing resistance for weeks, months and years.Ibrahim claimed Gadhafi's forces controlled a good portion of the capital — a claim that contradicts what reporters are seeing on the ground — and other cities and towns. He also accused NATO of besieging Gadhafi strongholds such as Sirte.
Globalists Want Boots On The Ground In Libya-Making Libya stable for Fortune 500 corporations, offshore banks and megalithic oil companies-Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Thursday, August 25, 2011
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HeXbbnI8G4&feature=player_embedded
With their Al-Qaeda-led rebel forces once again struggling to complete the overthrow of Colonel Gaddafi, pro-NATO globalists are now openly calling for boots on the ground in Libya, a complete violation of the original UN resolution that supposedly authorized NATO involvement in the first place, in order to stabilize the country for the benefit of Fortune 500 corporations, offshore banks and megalithic oil companies.Reality isn’t quite keeping up with the public relations offensive launched by the western establishment media, with many areas of Tripoli being contested while Gaddafi’s government remains firmly in control of strategic towns like Sirte.With Gaddafi vowing to fight on for years, hopes of seizing and maintaining control over the country’s vast oil and gold resources could be on shaky ground, which is why the likes of CFR luminaries Richard Haass and Max Boot are hastily demanding occupation forces be sent in to stabilize the country for globalist interests.That’s not to say that boots aren’t already on the ground in Libya. The Al-Qaeda backed rebel siege is being directed by British SAS troops, along with American and French Special Forces. But what the globalists really want to see is an occupation of Iraq-style proportions, and tens of thousands of troops are already on standby for that very purpose.Richard Haass, President of the Council on Foreign Relations, doesn’t mince his words in a Financial Times editorial headlined Libya Now Needs Boots on the Ground.
In the article, Haass brazenly acknowledges that the humanitarian pretext for NATO intervention was little more than a hoax.The humanitarian intervention introduced to save lives believed to be threatened was in fact a political intervention introduced to bring about regime change, writes Haass.Writing that Libyans will not be able to manage the situation about to emerge on their own, Haass cites tribal warfare, political instability, looting and most notably, 2 billion barrels of oil a day,as good reasons for an international force to restore and maintain order.He also calls on Barack Obama to reconsider his assertion that there would not be any American boots on the ground.In admitting that the NATO bombardment was never about humanitarian concerns and calling for an occupying army, thereby completely contradicting the terms of United Nations security council resolution 1973, Haass reveals the mafia-like way in which neo-colonialism operates. Globalist criminals don’t even follow their own flimsy claims to legitimacy.Not to be outdone, fellow CFR internationalist and neo-con Max Boot writes in an L.A. Times editorial that NATO and the UN will have to send….peacekeeping troops, primarily to restore oil production, an undoubted priority given that, as the NY Times reported,the scramble to secure access to Libya’s oil wealth has already begun amongst British Petroleum, Total of France, and Repsol YPF of Spain.While failing to mention the fact that the NATO-backed rebels are commanded by Al-Qaeda terrorists who killed U.S. troops in Iraq, Boot re-characterizes Gaddafi’s government as an insurgency and urges sending foreign troops into Libya.Both Haass and Boot couldn’t give a damn about making Libya stable for the benefit of the Libyan people, to prevent looting or tribal warfare. Their only concern is making Libya stable for the entities the bombardment was launched on behalf of in the first place – Fortune 500 corporations, transnational banks and megalithic oil companies – the same gang of crooks represented on the CFR’s roster.

France calls Libya victory summit, warns Syria
Today AUG 25,11 @ 09:28 By Andrew Rettman
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has called a high-level meeting on Libya's post-Gaddafi future and promised support - but no military action - for opposition forces in Syria.The event is to take place in Paris on 1 September - the 42nd anniversary of the coup which brought Colonel Gaddafi to power.It is to be co-hosted by British Prime Minister David Cameron and to include rebel leaders Mahmoud Jibril and Abdel Jalil, delegates from the 28-country-strong anti-Gaddafi coalition, the Libya Contact Group, as well as states hostile to Western intervention in Libya - China, India, Russia and South Africa.Speaking with Jibril in the French capital on Wednesday (24 August), Sarkozy said Gaddafi's defeat has brought the Western and Arab worlds closer and that he was right to put France fully back into Nato in 2009.
The West and the East are not condemned to confront each other, the people of Europe and Arab people are not condemned to misunderstand each other, he said.The reintegration of France into the principle organs of Nato did nothing to weaken French independnce - on the contrary, since France was, naturally, in the front lines during the military operations [in Libya].Sarkozy ruled out military intervention in Syria due to the lack of a UN mandate. But he warned President Bashar Assad to draw lessons from Libya and the Ivory Coast, where France also used force this year.We have made a strategic choice ... that we will be on the side of the Arab street each time the street struggles for democracy and liberty, he said. We now have precedents - the Ivory Coast and Libya. This is not to say we will get involved in more conflicts. But we will not give up on our principles. Syrian people have the right to freedom.For his part, Jibril called for the international community to help the Transitional National Council (TNC) in the struggle for reconstruction.He highlighted the need to quickly reopen schools and for medical aid, including mass-scale production of prosthetic limbs and psychotherapy. He also pledged to hold internationally-monitored elections and to draft a democratic constitution.The TNC has asked the UN to unfreeze $5 billion out of the $110 billion of Gaddafi assets reportedly held in banks round the world. The US has so far drafted a UN text allowing for the unfreezing of $1.5 billion, with a vote at the UN Security Council expected by the weekend.With Gaddafi still at large, Sarkozy pledged to keep up military support for the TNC as long as the colonel's loyalists pose a threat to civilians.He denied reports that there are French soldiers on the ground, saying the French ambassador in Libya has assistants, we have observers because we need information, but these are not special forces.
UN resolution 1973 authorising air strikes ruled out a foreign occupation force of any form. But the fall of Tripoli has stimulated chatter about the need for international peacekeepers.Nato spokeswoman Oana Lugnescu told the AP news agency on Wednesday that an options paper for a potential joint UN-Nato mission will come up for discussion next week.The council provided Nato military authorities with a set of political guidelines for a possible future Nato supporting role in Libya ... in support of wider international efforts,she said, referring to the North Atlantic Council, the alliance's political governing body.

3, 2, 1: Global Debt Meltdown The Economic Collapse
Aug 25, 2011Global
We are steamrolling toward a massive global debt meltdown, and at this point world leaders seem to be all out of solutions. Over the last 30 years or so, the greatest debt bubble in the history of the planet has produced unprecedented prosperity in the western world. But now that debt bubble is starting to burst and the bills are coming due. Many believe that “ground zero” for the coming global debt meltdown will be in Europe. Unlike the U.S. and Japan, the nations of the EU can’t just print more money to cover their debts. Nations such as Greece, Portugal and Italy must repay their debts in euros, and those nations are rapidly getting to the point where their debts are going to overwhelm them. Unfortunately, major banks all over Europe are very highly leveraged and are also very heavily invested in the sovereign debt of nations such as Greece, Portugal and Italy. If even one EU nation defaults it will start tipping over financial dominoes. If more than one EU nation defaults it could cause a cataclysmic wave of bank failures all over Europe.But Germany and the other more financially stable countries of the EU cannot bail out nations like Greece, Portugal and Italy indefinitely. Pouring money into Greece is like pouring money into a black hole. When you take money from financially stable countries and pour it into hopeless messes, you may stabilize things for a little while, but you also cause the financial condition of the financially stable nations to start deteriorating.Right now, the yield on 2 year Greek bonds is up to 44%. Basically, the market is screaming that these are horrible investments and that they will almost certainly default.Greece cannot fire up the printing presses and print more money, so they are now totally dependent on others to bail them out.Just how desperate have things become in Greece? Just consider the following excerpt from a recent article by Puru Saxena….
In Greece, government debt now represents almost 160% of GDP and the average yield on Greek debt is around 15%. Thus, if Greece’s debt is rolled over without restructuring, its interest costs alone will amount to approximately 24% of GDP. In other words, if debt pardoning does not occur, nearly a quarter of Greece’s economic output will be gobbled up by interest repayments! Can you imagine? No nation on earth can afford to pay out nearly a quarter of GDP just on interest on government debt.So just how did Greece get into this position? Well, it turns out that big U.S. banks such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase played a big role. The following is an excerpt from a recent article by Andrew Gavin Marshall….In the same way that homeowners take out a second mortgage to pay off their credit card debt, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase and other U.S. banks helped push government debt far into the future through the derivatives market. This was done in Greece, Italy, and likely several other euro-zone countries as well. In several dozen deals in Europe, banks provided cash upfront in return for government payments in the future, with those liabilities then left off the books. Because the deals are not listed as loans, they are not listed as debt (liabilities), and so the true debt of Greece and other euro-zone countries was and likely to a large degree remains hidden. Greece effectively mortgaged its airports and highways to the major banks in order to get cash up-front and keep the loans off the books, classifying them as transactions.All over the world, politicians love to kick the can down the road, and big Wall Street banks love to find creative ways to help them do that.
But now Greece is about to collapse, and the people that helped them get into this mess will probably never be held accountable.If Greece does default, it is going to have dramatic consequences all over Europe. For a chilling look at what could potentially happen when Greece defaults, just check out this article by John Mauldin.
Sadly, Greece is far from the only problem in Europe. Portugal, Ireland and Italy also have debt to GDP ratios that are above 100%.The biggest potential problem, at least in the near-term, is Italy.Italy is the fourth largest economy in the EU, and lately the financial problems of the Italian government and Italian banks have been making headlines all over the globe.Italy is a far, far larger potential problem than Greece is.The EU can handle bailing out Greece, at least for now.If Italy gets to the point where it needs large bailouts, that is going to bring down the whole system. The EU simply does not have enough money to perform an extensive financial rescue of Italy.As you can see from this chart, the exposure that European banks have to Italian debt is absolutely massive. If Italian debt goes bad, it is going to take down a whole bunch of banks.Not only that, but many believe that the European Central Bank itself is now in some very dangerous territory.It is estimated that the European Central Bank is now holding somewhere in the neighborhood of 444 billion euros worth of debt from the governments of Greece, Italy, Portugal, Ireland and Spain.The financial consequences of a default by one or more of those nations could potentially be catastrophic.According to London-based think tank Open Europe, the European Central Bankis massively overleveraged….Should the ECB see its assets fall by just 4.23pc in value . . . its entire capital base would be wiped out.
That doesn’t sound good.Surely the European Central Bank would be recapitalized somehow, but this is just another example that shows just how dangerous huge amounts of leverage can be.As I wrote about in a recent article about the sovereign debt crisis, if the dominoes begin to tumble in Europe it is going to take everybody down.
The big banks in Europe are leveraged to the hilt, and they are massively exposed to government debt.If you don’t think that this is a problem, just remember what happened back in 2008.Back then, Lehman Brothers was leveraged 31 to 1. When things turned bad, Lehman was wiped out very rapidly.Today, major German banks are leveraged 32 to 1, and those banks are currently holding a massive amount of European sovereign debt.Yes, things could become really nightmarish if the dominoes start to fall.Already we are seeing huge signs of trouble at major banks all over Europe.Major European banks UBS, Barclays, Credit Suisse, RBS, and HSBC have all announced layoffs recently. In fact, when you add them all up, the total number of layoffs announced by these banks just this month is over 40,000. Overall, the grand total of layoffs by European banks so far this year is now up to67,000.The mood in the financial sector over in Europe is very dark right now. Just consider the following excerpt from a recent Bloomberg article….It’s a bloodbath, and I expect things to get worse before they get better, said Jonathan Evans, chairman of executive- search firm Sammons Associates in London. I cannot see a lot of those who have lost their jobs getting re-employed. Regardless of how good someone is, no one wants to talk about hiring. Life will be very difficult for two or three years.Just like back in 2008 with U.S. banks, we are seeing European banks getting absolutely pummeled right now. A recent article in The Sydney Morning Herald documented some of the carnage….The 46-member Bloomberg Europe Banks and Financial Services Index has fallen 31 per cent this year. RBS tumbled 49 per cent, Barclays 44 per cent and France’s Societe Generale 48 per cent.Credit Suisse and UBS both reported a 71 per cent drop in investment-banking earnings in the second quarter. Revenue at Edinburgh-based RBS’s securities unit dropped 35 per cent in the period, while London-based Barclays Capital posted a 27 per cent decline in pretax profit.Things in Europe continue to get worse and worse and worse.Do not take your eyes off of Europe. This crisis is just getting started.Not that there aren’t huge debt problems around the rest of the globe as well.Japan has a national debt that is now over 200 percent of GDP, and they are really struggling to recover from the recent disasters that devastated that nation.
Moody’s has just downgraded Japanese government debt one notch to Aa3, and more downgrades could be coming. For now Japan is still able to borrow huge piles of money very, very cheaply but if that changes Japan could be wiped out very quickly.
Of course the nation with the biggest debt of all is the United States.At the moment, the U.S. national debt is sitting at a grand total of$14,649,289,670,347.85.
Fortunately, the U.S. is also able to borrow massive amounts of money very, very cheaply right now. But when that changes it is going to be absolutely cataclysmic for our economy.Sadly, our politicians continue to act as if this debt binge can go on forever.According to the Congressional Budget Office, the budget deficit for the federal government will be about 1.28 trillion dollars this year. This will be the third year in a row that we have had a budget deficit of over a trillion dollars.To put that in perspective, from George Washington to Ronald Reagan the U.S. government racked up a grand total of about one trillion dollars of debt. But this year alone we will go 1.28 trillion dollars more into debt.At the moment, the U.S. national debt is expanding by about 2 and a half million dollars every single minute. It is hard to put into words how absolutely foolish that is.As I wrote about yesterday, someone needs to wake up America. Our debt is exploding and our economy is dying.
We haven’t even solved the problems caused by the last financial crisis. The real estate market is still a gigantic mess. Purchases of both new and previously existing homes in the United States continue to fall.But there will never be a housing recovery until there is a jobs recovery, and our politicians continue to stand by and watch as millions of our jobs are shipped overseas.Unemployment is rampant, and even many of those that do have jobs are barely able to survive.Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs. Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs.That is not a good trend.Sadly, it looks like things are not going to get much better any time soon.Right now, the Congressional Budget Office is projecting that unemployment in the U.S. will remain above 8% until 2014.That should really scare you, because government numbers are almost always way too optimistic. The folks in the federal government hardly ever project that unemployment will actually go up.So if they are saying that unemployment will remain above 8 percent until 2014, the truth is that things will probably be worse than that.We have entered very frightening times. We are on the verge of a massive global debt meltdown, and nobody is sure what is going to happen next.Let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst.
9/11 After A Decade: Have We Learned Anything?
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts Infowars.com August 24, 2011
In a few days it will be the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001. How well has the US government’s official account of the event held up over the decade? Not very well. The chairman, vice chairman, and senior legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission wrote books partially disassociating themselves from the commission’s report. They said that the Bush administration put obstacles in their path, that information was withheld from them, that President Bush agreed to testify only if he was chaperoned by Vice President Cheney and neither were put under oath, that Pentagon and FAA officials lied to the commission and that the commission considered referring the false testimony for investigation for obstruction of justice.In their book, the chairman and vice chairman, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, wrote that the 9/11 Commission was set up to fail. Senior counsel John Farmer, Jr., wrote
that the US government made a decision not to tell the truth about what happened, and that the NORAD tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public. Kean said, We to this day don’t know why NORAD told us what they told us, it was just so far from the truth.Most of the questions from the 9/11 families were not answered. Important witnesses were not called. The commission only heard from those who supported the government’s account. The commission was a controlled political operation, not an investigation of events and evidence. Its membership consisted of former politicians. No knowledgeable experts were appointed to the commission.One member of the 9/11 Commission, former Senator Max Cleland, responded to the constraints placed on the commission by the White House: If this decision stands, I, as a member of the commission, cannot look any American in the eye, especially family members of victims, and say the commission had full access. This investigation is now compromised.Cleland resigned rather than have his integrity compromised.
To be clear, neither Cleland nor members of the commission suggested that 9/11 was an inside job to advance a war agenda. Nevertheless, neither Congress nor the media wondered, at least not out loud, why President Bush was unwilling to appear before the commission under oath or without Cheney, why Pentagon and FAA officials lied to the commission or, if the officials did not lie, why the commission believed they lied, or why the White House resisted for so long any kind of commission being formed, even one under its control.One would think that if a handful of Arabs managed to outwit not merely the CIA and FBI but all 16 US intelligence agencies, all intelligence agencies of our allies including Mossad, the National Security Council, the State Department, NORAD, airport security four times on one morning, air traffic control, etc., the President, Congress, and the media would be demanding to know how such an improbable event could occur. Instead, the White House put up a wall of resistance to finding out, and Congress and the media showed little interest.
During the decade that has passed, numerous 9/11 Truth organizations have formed.
There are Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Remember Building 7.org, and a New York group which includes 9/11 families. These groups call for a real investigation.
David Ray Griffen has written 10 carefully researched books documenting problems in the government’s account. Scientists have pointed out that the government has no explanation for the molten steel. NIST has been forced to admit that WTC 7 was in free fall for part of its descent, and a scientific team led by a professor of nano-chemistry at the University of Copenhagen has reported finding nano-thermite in the dust from the buildings.Larry Silverstein, who had the lease on the World Trade Center buildings, said in a PBS broadcast that the decision was made to pull Building 7 late in the afternoon of 9/11. Chief fire marshals have said that no forensic investigation was made of the buildings’ destruction and that the absence of investigation was a violation of law.
Some efforts have been made to explain away some of the evidence that is contrary to the official account, but most of the contrary evidence is simply ignored. The fact remains that the skepticism of a large number of knowledgeable experts has had no effect on the government’s position other than a member of the Obama administration suggesting that the government infiltrate the 9/11 truth organizations in order to discredit them.The practice has been to brand experts not convinced by the government’s case conspiracy theorists. But of course the government’s own theory is a conspiracy theory, an even less likely one once a person realizes its full implication of intelligence and operational failures. The implied failures are extraordinarily large; yet,no one was ever held accountable.Moreover, what do 1,500 architects and engineers have to gain from being ridiculed as conspiracy theorists? They certainly will never receive another government contract, and many surely lost business as a result of their anti-American stance. Their competitors must have made hay out of their unpatriotic doubts. Indeed, my reward for reporting on how matters stand a decade after the event will be mail telling me that as I hate America so much I should move to Cuba.Scientists have even less incentive to express any doubts, which probably explains why there are not 1,500 Physicists for 9/11 Truth. Few physicists have careers independent of government grants or contracts. It was a high school physics teacher who forced NIST to abandon its account of Building 7’s demise. Physicist Stephen Jones, who first reported finding evidence of explosives, had his tenure bought out by BYU, which no doubt found itself under government pressure.We can explain away contrary evidence as coincidences and mistakes and conclude that only the government got it all correct, the same government that got everything else wrong.In fact, the government has not explained anything. The NIST report is merely a simulation of what might have caused the towers to fail if NIST’s assumptions programed into the computer model are correct. But NIST supplies no evidence that its assumptions are correct.
Building 7 was not mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report, and many Americans are still unaware that three buildings came down on 9/11.Let me be clear about my point. I am not saying that some black op group in the neoconservative Bush administration blew up the buildings in order to advance the neoconservative agenda of war in the Middle East. If there is evidence of a coverup, it could be the government covering up its incompetence and not its complicity in the event. Even if there were definite proof of government complicity, it is uncertain that Americans could accept it. Architects, engineers, and scientists live in a fact-based community, but for most people facts are no match for emotions.My point is how uninquisitive the executive branch including the security agencies, Congress, the media, and much of the population are about the defining event of our time.There is no doubt that 9/11 is the determinant event. It has led to a decade of ever expanding wars, to the shredding of the Constitution, and to a police state. On August 22 Justin Raimondo reported that he and his website, Antiwar.com, are being monitored by the FBI’s Electronic Communication Analysis Unit to determine if Antiwar.com is a threat to National Security working on behalf of a foreign power.Francis A. Boyle, an internationally known professor and attorney of international law, has reported that when he refused a joint FBI-CIA request to violate the attorney/client privilege and become an informant on his Arab-American clients, he was placed on the US government’s terrorist watch list.Boyle has been critical of the US government’s approach to the Muslim world, but Raimondo has never raised, nor permitted any contributor to raise, any suspicion about US government complicity in 9/11. Raimondo merely opposes war, and that is enough for the FBI to conclude that he needs watching as a possible threat to national security.The US government’s account of 9/11 is the foundation of the open-ended wars that are exhausting America’s resources and destroying its reputation, and it is the foundation of the domestic police state that ultimately will shut down all opposition to the wars. Americans are bound to the story of the 9/11 Muslim terrorist attack, because it is what justifies the slaughter of civilian populations in several Muslim countries, and it justifies a domestic police state as the only means of securing safety from terrorists, who already have morphed into domestic extremists such as environmentalists, animal rights groups, and antiwar activists.Today Americans are unsafe, not because of terrorists and domestic extremists, but because they have lost their civil liberties and have no protection from unaccountable government power. One would think that how this came about would be worthy of public debate and congressional hearings.
FDA wages secret war on raw milk farmers using KGB-style spying and infiltration techniques Mike Adams Infowars.com August 25, 2011
After weeks of investigation, NaturalNews can now reveal that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is waging a clandestine war on raw milk dairy farmers through a network of government spies who are coached on infiltration and social engineering techniques. Resembling the Stasi East German police or KGB of the former Soviet Union, these undercover FDA agents meet each month for a “spying roundtable” phone conference called the Raw Milk Call during which techniques of infiltration are openly discussed and encouraged.NaturalNews can now reveal that the majority of these undercover FDA agents are women, who are more easily able to infiltrate the raw dairy community with techniques of social engineering (see below).The existence of this elaborate spying operation has been confirmed by NaturalNews through three different sources, all of which demanded anonymity as they fear being targeted by the FDA with armed raids, false arrest and destruction of their property, as we recently witnessed with the Rawesome Foods raid. One source told NaturalNews they feared the FDA would stage a Waco-style siege of their farm and invent some justification to assault their farmhouse and shoot them and their family. Yes, this is how much freedom has been lost in America today, where farmers are afraid to speak out for fear they might be killed. And yet, it’s not paranoia: They have legitimate reason to fear their own government is targeting them for termination.
FDA uses KGB-style techniques to infiltrate raw dairy networks
Through these sources, NaturalNews has learned the FDA coaches its network of spies to engage in KGB-style social engineering techniques in order to win the trust of the very people it then targets for armed raids and arrest. Those techniques include:
• FDA agents visiting local farmers’ markets and gathering names of possible raw milk providers to be targeted.
• FDA agents calling those targets and trying to convince them to sell raw dairy products by telling sob stories of how they have a baby that can’t breastfeed, and they need raw goat’s milk to keep the baby alive. (This is why most undercover FDA agents are women — they make more convincing social engineers when it comes to issues like finding goat’s milk to feed babies.)
• FDA agents engage in name-dropping of others in the raw dairy community in order to imply trust. In California, for example, they might say, I spoke with Mark McAfee at Organic Pastures, and he told me to talk to you. This technique impresses the target, thinking they have been recommended by a big name in the raw dairy industry. In reality, the whole story is fiction and is just used by FDA spies to try to ensnare other raw dairy producers.
• FDA is building a secret government database of raw dairy customers. This is accomplished by training its spies and agents to demand the confiscation of customer lists from raw dairy farmers. Such lists are then delivered to FDA headquarters in Washington D.C. where they are added to a growing database of names, email addresses and sometimes even home addresses. It is not known what the FDA ultimately plans to do with this list.
• FDA pays huge sums of cash each month to various state agriculture departments, then sends top-level FDA infiltration agents to those states to train state-level agents in these same clandestine techniques. As one example, NaturalNews has learned the FDA currently pays the Wisconsin Dept. of Agriculture more than $80,000 a month for it to spend on these raw dairy spying and infiltration schemes. Shortly after the program was launched, FDA flew several of its top agents to Wisconsin to walk the local farmers’ markets with spies-in-training agents, teaching them spying and infiltration techniques in what was essentially a Raw milk spy camp.
• FDA agents have been well trained and schooled on running elaborate entrapment schemes which are operated with the sole purpose of persuading small, local raw dairy farmers to break the law or violate FDA regulations so that the FDA can justify an armed raid on their farm operation.
• Many millions of dollars (NaturalNews could not get accurate numbers on the total expenditures) are being spent by the FDA on these spying and infiltration programs. None of these programs are reported to Congress. None are reported to the press. These are entirely dark operations conducted behind the scenes, with no official announcements, and with no desire to attract publicity of any kind. They are, essentially, secret wars being conducted against America’s farmers, with no congressional approval whatsoever.
• NaturalNews was told that FDA head Margaret Hamburg is not only authorizing these secret spying operations, but that she took a personal role in structuring the operations so that they would not be made public. NaturalNews has not yet been able to confirm this allegation, since obviously the FDA outright refuses to return our phone calls, insisting on operating entirely in secret.
• As part of its secret spying and social engineering effort, the FDA also runs a national farmer intimidation program where FDA agents dressed in what look like FBI or agency uniforms just show up at farmers’ homes and engage in verbal intimidation in order to dissuade farmers from producing or marketing raw dairy products. This is done without a warrant and completely outside the law. Farmers are routinely told that if they talk about this, they will be targeted with armed raids.
• One farmer was told, If you go public with this, we will come back and have your entire herd destroyed by claiming your cows are infected with mad cow disease. This is a classic secret police-style intimidation technique, and it explains why so few raw dairy farmers have been willing to step forward and go public with their stories. One sheep farmer was already targeted and had his entire flock of sheep murdered by the FDA working in conspiracy with state agriculture officials, under the false pretense that the sheep were infected. This particular instance is covered in the film Farmageddon, at www.FarmageddonMovie.com
• FDA officials have stated, during these monthly Raw Milk Calls, that their goal is the complete destruction of the raw dairy industry in the United States, and that achieving this goal was a top priority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
• FDA has also stated that it plans to use the increased funding provided to it under the Food Safety Modernization Act to expand its secret spying and infiltration network and train even more spies to entrap and intimidate raw dairy farmers.
• Many of the people now attempting to join raw milk buying clubs and meet-up groups are actually undercover FDA agents who are gathering names, emails, addresses and other evidence to be used to justify future armed FDA raids. National lists are being drawn up and prioritized to create hit lists of farms to raid under the Food Safety Modernization Act.
• Salaries and bonuses of clandestine FDA employees are raised based on the performance of how many raw dairy operations are shut down, how many customer names are confiscated, successful raw milk buys and other key milestones of oppression and tyranny that are set by the FDA. In this way, FDA agents are financially rewarded based on the number of American farmers they crush.
The FDA’s secret war reveals how the U.S. government is headed toward total police state tyranny
That this situation exists in the United States today is a disturbing and powerful commentary on the runaway power of regulatory agencies which have essentially built their own lawless kingdoms of power, subject to no law and no checks or balances.
The FDA, in particular, simply writes its own law without any congressional approval whatsoever. It wages its own secret wars, runs its own spy network and is essentially rising up to become its own secret police organization (or terrorist group). None of this has ever been approved by Congress. The head of the FDA is not elected by the voters. And President Obama is either unaware that all this is going on or refuses to do anything about it. (President Bush did nothing about it, either, and you can bet that unless the next President is Ron Paul, this same look-the-other-way attitude will continue at the White House).The FDA, notably, far from protecting Americans from dangerous foods and drugs, now sees the people as the enemy and spends an inordinate amount of its time and money waging secret spying campaigns and plotting armed raids against innocents. If this rise to power continues, the FDA will effectively become the KGB of agriculture, eventually wielding its own firearms and running terror-style hit-and-run assaults on people engaged in small-scale organic farming, gardening or raw dairy production. This is, essentially, all-out war against the American people, and it’s all being funded by your taxpayer dollars and carried out with the full tolerance of the President himself.President Obama could put a stop to this if he wanted to. The FDA could be reeled in and de-funded. It could be split into two separate agencies: Foods, and then Drugs as a separate agency. Congress could pass a food freedom rights law that guarantees the protection of farmers (of course, the FDA would probably just ignore it, as the agency respects absolutely no law whatsoever).
The growing revolt against the FDA’s war on innocents
NaturalNews has learned, through its own network of informants, that the most likely outcome of all this is a growing citizens’ revolt against FDA tyranny. While this revolt is so far focused on peaceful protest and non-violent resistance against the FDA’s secret war on Americans, it is my personal belief that at some point we will witness an escalation where FDA agents who are discovered and outed wind up shot in the head, or farmers begin to fight back and defend their farms against FDA raids through the use of firearms — which is, of course, their right.That’s the whole point of the Second Amendment, of course: To give the citizens of America a fighting chance against oppressive government. This is why the right to own firearms was specifically placed in the Bill of Rights, just after the right to Free Speech. It was not put there as a right to go hunting or to engage in sport shooting. It was written there specifically as a way for the citizens to protect themselves from government tyrants who, throughout history, have always — always! — overstepped their bounds to become tyrannical, oppressive regimes that end up using guns against innocent citizens.It is only the mass armament of the People that creates the ultimate balance of keeping government power in check. When the FDA enforces its criminal agenda through the threat of guns, it is up to the People to invoke their own Second Amendment protections in response and present an armed, lawful, protective resistance against tyranny that tells the FDA,If you continue down this path, you will be fired upon.I believe we are very close to entering the age of a shooting war between farmers and the FDA. I would encourage the FDA agents who are no doubt reading this to strongly consider: Is your war against raw milk worth risking your life? Here at NaturalNews, we do not want to see this situation devolve into a shooting war, and yet, as President John F. Kennedy famously said: Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.Unless the FDA backs off from these secret police tactics, in other words, the agency can expect to be dealing with a whole new problem: Lead poisoning. This is the FDA’s own fault, of course. When farmers are stripped of their God-given right to produce honest food and sell it to their neighbors, and when they are treated like criminals and terrorists by an out-of-control, rogue federal agency that respects no law and no rights, it is only a matter of time before some of these farmers are driven to the point of shooting back. And I dare say, farmers are far better shots than FDA agents.
Help us end this insanity by leaking intel
NaturalNews has already received information hinting that even many agents within the FDA are fed up with the agency’s illegal war on farmers. If you work for the FDA, or with the FDA, or participated in FDA raids in any way, and if you have intelligence that needs to be made public to help end this secret war, NaturalNews will protect your anonymity, just as we have the other sources who provided intelligence for this story.
You may submit tips to us at: http://www.naturalnews.com/newstips…
Our goal is to see the FDA’s war exposed, to see Congress take action to halt the FDA’s actions, and to see the rights of farmers protected under law. We do not wish to see this escalate into the violence that now seems likely.Obviously, do not submit tips to us from your work computer, because that can be tracked. Use an internet cafe so that your IP address cannot be tracked by anyone. Do NOT include your real name, and if you give us an email address, make sure it is an anonymous email that would not link back to your actual name or work location. Remember: The government is also tracking and reading your emails, so take all necessary steps to protect your privacy and safety. We are, after all, dealing with a terrorist organization in the FDA. The FDA may stop at nothing to protect its power and continue waging its war on American farmers.NaturalNews is actively gathering and distributing intelligence on this situation, publicizing the truth that the FDA wants to keep secret — that it is waging a clandestine, illegal war against America’s farmers, using Stasi-style, or KGB-inspired secret police tactics combined with the threat of violence to crush resistance. This is a campaign of terrorism being waged against innocent farmers in America, and it is a sign of a government out of control… a government which, in many ways, has become an enemy of the People and an enemy of freedom.
The FDA wants MORE power
And the FDA is just getting warmed up. Once the new funding from the Food Safety Modernization Act kicks in, this agency promises to unleash an army of new agents to sweep across the countryside, detaining gardeners and small farmers, demanding show me your papers! Meanwhile, its agents will be terrorizing, intimidating and threatening everyone except the big agriculture giants which are always exempt from government scrutiny (even though they are the ones causing all the food safety problems in the first place).If the FDA is not stopped, it is positioned to rise up as the most dangerous government-run terrorist organization America has ever seen. Already responsible for the death of at least 100,000 Americans each year who die from taking FDA-approved medications, this agency is now hell bent on destroying an entire food-producing industry while exploiting the most insidious tactics of intimidation and oppression that have ever been used throughout the world’s most criminal regimes: Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler and others.We are watching the history of tyrannical government oppression repeat itself here, and just as Mao murdered hundreds of thousands of intellectuals, and Hitler gassed millions of Jews, the FDA is determined to silence and destroy the livelihoods of countless American farmers who are only guilty of weapons of mass nutrition.(http://counterthink.com/Rawesome_Fo…)
May God help us all. What we need to see right now is the Dept. of Justice conducting an armed raid on the FDA, arresting all the top FDA officials and charging them with criminal conspiracy to deprive American farmers of their rights.
Only then can we see justice served in America… and the rights of a free people protected under law.Sources for this story-This story is triple-sourced. The identity of the sources shall remain protected by NaturalNews, as they rightfully fear for their lives. The FDA has already indicated it will engage in mob hits and terrorist-style actions to censor those who speak out.

1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
EZEKIEL 7:19
