DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.

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

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

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

Commission takes EU states to court in salary dispute
Today JAN 12,12 By Nikolaj Nielsen

BRUSSELS - A tit-for-tat dispute between the European Commission and member states over civil servant salary increases will now end up in court.The European Commission has today decided to take the Council to the Court of Justice for failing to adopt the council regulation on the annual adjustment to the remuneration and pensions of EU staff as anticipated in the staff regulations,the executive said in a statement on Wednesday (11 January).The move comes after the council - representing member states - refused to sign off a 1.7 percent EU civil servant salary hike.The commission says salaries are entitled under staff regulations to be adjusted automatically to national cost of living inidices and to the evolution of civil service salaries in eight member states (Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom).Basic monthly commission salaries range from around €2,300 per month for a newly recruited AST 1 official to around €16,000 per month for a top-level AD 16 official with over four years of experience.

Last year EU civil servants were awarded the 1.7 percent increase but the austerity strapped EU-27, who collectively give the executive around €130 billion every year, have since changed their mind.Member states in favour of the freeze had already made a formal request last November for the commission to invoke an exception clause. The clause could allow the commission to cap the salaries given the tough economic climate netted out upon the rest of Europe.Around 1,000 commission staff responded by staging a protest on 22 November and effectively threatening a strike. Salary cuts, they demanded, should only be shaved off from the higher-grade officials.

A vast majority of EU civil servants live and reside in Belgium where inflation is expected to top three percent. The commission points out that despite the three percent inflation increase, they have agreed to a cut in salary in real terms for those residing in Brussels by accepting only a 1.7 percent increase.The executive says efforts are already under way to cut its expenses and reduce staff numbers by one in 20 between 2013 and 2017. They also intend to lengthen the working week from 37.5 to 40 hours and raise retirement age from 63 to 65. Altogether, this should cut expenses by €1 billion by 2020, according to administration commissioner Maros Sefcovic.The commission and the council already faced off over the issue two years ago at the Court of Justice. The commission won the decision. Its staff saw a 3.7 percent salary increase.The executive is already suffering from a bad overall public image. A flash survey conducted by the commission near the end of December found a majority of Europeans have lost their trust in the EU institutions.

Monti and Merkel: Financial tax must cover whole EU
Today JAN 12,12 By Valentina Pop

BRUSSELS - Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday (11 January) said they would support an EU-wide financial transactions tax, But Berlin backed down on the idea of a eurozone-only levy.We are open to supporting this initiative at the EU level, Monti said at a press conference alongside Merkel in Berlin, marking a shift from his predecessor Silvio Berlusconi who had rejected the idea.The proposal remains controversial. Britain, Sweden and Denmark, as well as euro-member Malta, have spoken out against it in the absence of a global deal, fearing investors will move to more favourable countries such as Switzerland or Caribbean tax havens.French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who wants an agreement before his re-election bid in April, recently put the issue back on the table by saying France would unilaterally press ahead with such a tax, hoping eventually for it to be applied in the whole of the 17-nation eurozone.Merkel on Monday voiced sympathy with Sarkozy. But opposition from her Liberal junior coalition partner forced her to backtrack.We [the Christian Democratic Union] can imagine it in the eurozone but clearly as the head of a government, you need to have the agreement of the coalition partners ... Therefore, when I spoke on Monday, I made it clear it was a personal opinion.

German institutions and banks on Wednesday condemned efforts to push ahead with a tax which does not include top financial centres such as London.Monti also said he is not sure if it makes sense only at eurozone level.Monti, who studied at Yale with economist James Tobin - the economist who first proposed the levy - remembered his mentor likening the tax’s popularity through history to the fabled Loch Ness Monster.
You see it, it disappears, then reappears ... In this phase I think it has more sense than in others given the velocity of financial transactions, which can cause damage, and not just benefits,Monti said.Public support for the tax, however, is solid, with a December Eurobarometer showing that two thirds of Europeans back the idea amid a backlash against the banks and speculators blamed for the crisis.

Storms injure 15 in western North Carolina
Associated PressAssociated Press – JAN 12,12

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — At least 15 people were injured and at least 60 buildings damaged when a possible tornado struck in western North Carolina, the National Weather Service said Thursday.The storms struck in Rutherford and Burke counties late Wednesday afternoon as a cold front moved through the western Carolinas, meteorologist Neil Dixon with the weather service office in Greer, S.C., said.Ten people were hurt in Ellenboro in Rutherford County, sheriff's Sgt. Dwayne Wright said. Two of the injuries were serious, but Wright did not know the extent of the injuries.At least 10 buildings were damaged in a 3-square-mile residential area, but Wright said officials expected to get a better count on the damage during surveys Thursday.Some people initially were trapped in their homes.Everybody's out that we know of, Wright said.As far as we know, everybody has been accounted for.A woman in Ellenboro told WCNC-TV that a neighbor's roof ended up in her front yard.It felt like the whole house was shaking, and all at once you could hear stuff just breaking apart and tearing up. It was frightening,said Mary Jane Hollifield.

At least five people were hurt when the storm struck a few minutes later in the Icard area in eastern Burke County, Dixon said.We know we have 16 homes destroyed and about 50 that have been damaged to various degrees,Burke County Fire Marshal Mark Pitts said.There were also power outages, with around 100 customers still without electricity Thursday morning, according to Pitts. This is the first time he can remember such a severe storm at this time of year in the western county about an hour's drive north of Charlotte.The American Red Cross opened a shelter in Icard. The relief agency said at least 15 people had checked into the shelter at a church by 9 p.m.Burke County schools planned to open two hours later than usual Thursday.
Wind also struck a marina in Caldwell County late Wednesday, damaging at least three boats. It was not clear if a tornado had hit the area. No injuries had been reported.
A weather service survey team planned to tour the area Thursday to confirm that the damage was caused by a tornado, as well as to determine how strong the storm was, Dixon said.The storm cell that caused the damage had dumped some hail in northwestern South Carolina before moving into North Carolina, he said.

Rising US crude reserves hit oil prices
AFPAFP – JAN 12,12

A surprisingly big increase in US crude oil reserves hit oil prices already under pressure Wednesday from eurozone debt worries heightened by slowing growth in Germany.New York's main contract, West Texas Intermediate crude for delivery in February, dropped $1.37 to finish the session at $100.87 a barrel.In London, Brent North Sea crude for February settled at $112.24 a barrel, a drop of $1.04 from Tuesday's closing level.The US Department of Energy said that crude stockpiles jumped by five million barrels last week in the world's biggest oil consumer -- five times the amount forecast by analysts.The build in US crude inventories was doubtless encouraged by the threat of supply disruptions in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz,Nic Brown at Natixis said.The eurozone debt crisis produced more worrying signs of distress, this time in Germany, Europe's biggest economy.While the German economy grew a robust 3.0 percent in 2011, according to the official statistics agency Destatis, most of the growth in gross domestic product came in the first half of the year.

German GDP probably shrank by about a quarter of a percentage point in the final quarter, Destatis official Norbert Raeth told a news conference.Ahead of the US petroleum inventories data, prices were mixed as traders continued to track events in Iran amid fears that the Islamic republic could decide to halt its oil exports to the West.The car-bomb killing of an Iranian nuclear scientist Wednesday further ratcheted up tensions that helped to underpin oil prices.Tehran blamed the United States and Israel for the attack. Washington denied the claim, while a senior Israeli official said he was unaware of who did it.This news gave oil a boost where already Iran is looking to try to hang onto their customers and ensure customer loyalty, said Phil Flynn at PFG Best.Traders were also closely following mounting unrest in Nigeria, which is another major crude oil producer and exporter.Tens of thousands of protesting Nigerians defied an order to end a three-day-old strike Wednesday as unions threatened oil production and a mob rampaged in one city, leaving a police officer dead.The strike and protests over soaring fuel prices sank Africa's largest crude producer and most populous nation further into crisis, with deadly religious violence having sparked talk of a looming civil war.

Possible tornado slams 2 western NC counties
Associated PressAssociated Press – JAN 12,12

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — National Weather Service officials say an apparent tornado ripped through two counties in western North Carolina, injuring at least three people while damaging dozens of buildings and a mobile home park.Meteorologist Doug Outlaw said the storm first struck in Ellenboro in eastern Rutherford County on Wednesday. Emergency personnel had to airlift three people from the area for medical treatment.Outlaw said the storm then went into eastern Burke County, where a mobile home park was nearly wiped out. He says there were multiple injuries and damage to other homes, including a house that was toppled by the storm, trapping a family in the basement.He says a team will be dispatched on Thursday to assess the damage and determine if a tornado touched down.

Putin ally fears Israel is pushing U.S. toward Iran war ReutersBy Gleb Bryanski | Reuters – JAN 12,12

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia fears Israel will push the United States into a military conflict with Iran which could retaliate by blocking oil shipments from the Gulf, a confidant of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said.There is a likelihood of military escalation of the conflict, towards which Israel is pushing the Americans, Nikolai Patrushev, who heads the Kremlin's Security Council, told Interfax news agency.
Patrushev, a former head of the main successor to the Soviet-era KGB, said Tehran could respond by blocking the Strait of Hormuz between Oman and Iran, through which 35 percent of the world's seaborne traded oil passes.It cannot be ruled out that the Iranians will be able to carry out their threat to shut exports of Saudi oil through the Strait of Hormuz if faced with military actions against them,Patrushev said in an interview published on Thursday.Tension over Iranian uranium enrichment, which has moved to a mountain bunker better protected from possible air strikes, has raised fears for world oil supplies and even of war.Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful while Western powers believe it has military aims. Israel, which sees an Iranian atom bomb as a threat to its existence, is willing to attack Iranian nuclear sites with or without U.S. backing.

However, Patrushev said there was still no proof that Iran was on the brink of creating nuclear weapons.Talk about Iran creating an atomic bomb by next week we have heard for many years,he said, adding that the United States was trying to topple the Iran's leadership using all available means to make the country into a loyal partner.Russia, the world's biggest energy producer, opposes further U.N. Security Council sanctions over Tehran's nuclear program and has sharply criticized U.S. and European Union sanctions.The United States has said it would use force if Iran carried out its threat to block the strait and moved a new aircraft carrier strike group to the Arabian Sea this week.

FOUR MORE YEARS FOR OBAMA?

In remarks clearly aimed at signaling Russian foreign policy after presidential elections in March, Patrushev said Putin would work well with President Barack Obama if he is re-elected when the United States votes later this year.Patrushev said Obama's chances in the November election were good despite the United States' problems. With all the difficulties faced by the Democratic administration, President Obama has a good chance of keeping his post,Patrushev said.Putin himself is almost certain to return to the Russian presidency, something which diplomats see as a setback for Obama's policy of improving relations with Moscow.But Patrushev said Putin, who is known for his anti-American rhetoric, would work well with Obama.
In the case of Vladimir Putin and then Barack Obama coming to power, the Russian-U.S. relationship, as well as the situation in the world as a whole, may see a strengthening trend,Patrushev said.Patrushev, a hardliner, said U.S. plans to build a missile defense shield, a source of tension between the two former Cold War foes, did not pose a serious threat today, although it could weaken Russia's strategic potential in the future.(Reporting by Gleb Bryanski; editing by David Stamp)

U.S. wins Japan support over Iran nuclear program
ReutersBy Ramin Mostafavi and Parisa Hafezi | Reuters – JAN 12,12

TEHRAN (Reuters) - The United States won key support from Japan Thursday for tough oil sanctions against Iran over a nuclear program that the West suspects is geared to developing atomic bombs.Japan pledged to take concrete action to cut Iranian oil imports after visiting U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner urged Tokyo, a major importer, to help deprive Iran of vital oil revenues. In Iran, sanctions are biting, with the rial currency losing 20 percent of value against the dollar in the past week.Escalating tensions over Iran's enrichment of uranium for nuclear energy, which has shifted to an underground mountain bunker better protected from possible air strikes, has raised fears for the flow of world oil supplies and even war.An Iranian nuclear scientist was blown up in his car by a motorbike hitman Wednesday. Tehran blamed Israeli and U.S. agents but insisted this would not derail its nuclear activity. Washington denied involvement in the attack and condemned it, while Israel declined comment.The morning rush-hour bombing - the fifth daylight attack on technical experts in two years - killed 32-year-old Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan. The chemical engineer's driver was also killed, Iranian media said, and a passer-by was slightly hurt.The attack came in a week of heightened tensions.Iran has launched an underground enrichment plant and sentenced an American to death for spying, while Washington and Europe have stepped up efforts to cripple Iran's oil exports for its refusal to halt work the West says betrays an ambition to build nuclear weapons. Iran says its aims are entirely peaceful.Tehran has threatened to choke the West's supply of Gulf oil if its exports are hit by sanctions, drawing a U.S. warning that its navy is ready to open fire to prevent any blockade of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, through which 35 percent of the world's seaborne traded oil passes.

In Tokyo, Geithner welcomed Japanese cooperation in tightening the screws on Iran, a positive sign for Washington after China and Russia rebuffed sanctions on Iranian oil exports.China, Japan and India are Iran's top three buyers, taking more than 40 percent of its crude exports. The European Union, which collectively buys another fifth or so of Iran's exported crude, has committed to banning imports of oil from Tehran, an OPEC member and the world's No. 5 crude exporter.EU diplomats said Wednesday they were advancing toward agreement on banning imports of crude after a six-month grace period and banning petrochemical products after three - provisions similar to U.S. new legislation. It was likely, however, that EU firms could continue to take Iranian oil in payment for outstanding debts.Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda said he shared serious concerns about Iran's nuclear capabilities but expressed concern that the sanctions could seriously affect the Japanese and world economies, depending on how they were implemented.President Barack Obama's administration has also announced that it would freeze out financial institutions that deal with Iran's central bank out of U.S. markets.We are exploring ways to cut Iran's central bank off from the global financial system. We are in the early stages of consulting with Japan and our other allies, Geithner told reporters after the talks with Japanese leaders.

IRAN DEFIANCE

On a visit to Cuba Wednesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said nothing about the bomb attack but flashed the victory sign and said Iran had done nothing to warrant enmity from its enemies.Have we assaulted someone? Have we wanted more than we should have? Never, never. We have only asked to speak about and establish justice, said Ahmadinejad.Analysts saw the latest assassination, which would have involved considerable expertise, as less a reaction to recent events than part of a longer-running, covert effort to thwart Iran's nuclear development program that has also included suspected computer viruses and mystery explosions.While fears of war have forced up oil prices, the region has seen periods of saber-rattling and limited bloodshed before without reaching all-out conflict. But a willingness in Israel, which sees an Iranian atom bomb as a threat to its existence, to attack Iranian nuclear sites, with or without U.S. backing, has heightened the sense that a crisis is coming.Israel, whose military chief said Tuesday that Iran could expect to suffer more mysterious mishaps, declined comment on Wednesday's bomb attack.While Israeli or Western involvement seemed plausible to independent analysts, a role for local Iranian factions or other regional interests engaged in a deadly shadow war of bluff and sabotage could not be ruled out.The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, which has failed to persuade the West that its quest for nuclear power has no hidden military goal, said the killing of Ahmadi-Roshan would not deter it. We will continue our path without any doubt ... Our path is irreversible,it said in a statement carried on television.The heinous acts of America and the criminal Zionist regime will not disrupt our glorious path ... The more you kill us, the more our nation will awake.Iran's leaders, preparing for the first national election since a disputed presidential vote in 2009 brought street protests against 32 years of clerical rule, are struggling to contain internal tensions. Defiance of Israel and Western powers plays well with many who will vote in March.

U.S. DENIAL

In Washington, White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said: The United States had absolutely nothing to do with this (bombing) ... We strongly condemn all acts of violence, including acts of violence like what is being reported today.Israel, which has a history of covert killings abroad, declined comment, though army spokesman Yoav Mordechai wrote on Facebook: I don't know who settled the score with the Iranian scientist, but I am definitely not shedding any tears.Analysts say that killing scientists - especially those whose lack of personal protection suggests a relatively junior role - is unlikely to have much direct impact on Iran's nuclear program, which Western governments allege is seeking to enrich enough uranium highly enough to let it build weapons.

COVERT WAR

Sabotage - like mysterious reported explosions at military facilities or the Stuxnet computer virus widely suspected to have been deployed by Israel and the United States to disrupt nuclear facilities in 2010 - may have had more direct effects.However, assassinations may be intended to discourage Iranians with nuclear expertise from working on the program.Bruno Tertrais from France's Strategic Research Foundation said: It certainly has a psychological effect on scientists working on the nuclear program.Trita Parsi, a U.S.-based expert on Iran, said the killing might, along with the heightened rhetoric of recent weeks, be part of a pattern ahead of a possible resumption of negotiations on Iran's nuclear program; some parties may want to improve their bargaining position, others may see violence as a way of thwarting renewed negotiations altogether, Parsi said.Last month, Iran signaled a willingness to return to a negotiating process which stalled a year ago, though Western officials say a new round of talks is far from certain yet given that Iran has said enrichment will not be up for negotiation.Iran's decision to carry out enrichment work deep underground in the once undeclared plant at Fordow, near the holy Shi'ite city of Qom, could make it harder for U.S. or Israeli forces to carry out veiled threats to use force against Iranian nuclear facilities. The move to Fordow could reduce the time available for diplomacy to avert any attack.The announcement Monday that enrichment - a necessary step to turn uranium into atom bomb fuel - had begun at Fordow has given added impetus to Western efforts to impose an oil export embargo intended to pressure Tehran to halt enrichment.

Iran, a signatory to the treaty banning the spread of nuclear weapons, says it is entitled to conduct peaceful research and denies any military nuclear aims. Its adversaries say its failure to take up their offers of help with civilian technology undermine the credibility of its position.Oil prices have firmed 5 percent since Obama moved on New Year's Eve to block bank payments for oil to Iran.(Additional reporting by Robin Pomeroy and Mitra Amiri in Tehran, Stanley White and Tetsushi Kajimoto in Tokyo and David Brunnstrom and Julien Toyer in Brussels; Writing by Ralph Gowling; Editing by Mark Heinrich)

U.S. military moves carriers, denies Iran link

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Wednesday that a new aircraft carrier strike group had arrived in the Arabian Sea and that another was on its way to the region, but denied any link to recent tensions with Iran and portrayed the movements as routine.The shift in the powerful U.S. naval assets comes at a moment of heightened tensions with Iran, which has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz - the world's most important oil shipping lane - if U.S. and EU sanctions over its nuclear program cut off its oil exports.The U.S. military has said it will halt any blockade of the strategic strait and the top U.S. naval officer acknowledged on Tuesday that preparing for a potential conflict there was something that keeps me awake at night.Still, the Pentagon denied any direct link between recent tensions and the movement of aircraft carriers.I don't want to leave anybody with the impression that we're somehow (speeding) two carriers over there because we're concerned about what happened, you know, today in Iran. It's just not the case, said Captain John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman.Military officials said the USS Carl Vinson arrived in the Arabian Sea on Monday to replace the outgoing USS John C. Stennis carrier strike group, which Iran last week warned not to return to the Gulf after departing in late December.The Stennis was due to return to its home port in San Diego but the Pentagon did not say when that would happen.

Another carrier strike group, led by the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, concluded a port visit to Thailand on Tuesday and was now in the Indian Ocean. It is on track to join the Vinson in the Central Command area of operations, which begins in the neighboring Arabian Sea.It is not unusual to have two carriers in the CENTCOM theater at the same time, a second U.S. military official said.Another official said there had been two carriers in the Gulf region at least twice in the past 18 months.
Tensions between Iran and the United States ratcheted up again in the past week. Iran started an underground uranium enrichment plant and sentenced an American to death for spying. Washington and Europe have stepped up efforts to cripple Iran's oil exports, and Tehran on Wednesday blamed U.S. and Israeli agents for killing an Iranian nuclear scientist.Israel declined to comment on the killing and the United States denied any U.S. role and condemned the attack, in which the scientist was blown up by a bomb attached to his car by a motorbike hitman.Iran had warned the Stennis not to re-enter the Gulf and it is unclear when another U.S. carrier will enter Gulf waters. The Pentagon has suggested only that, sooner or later, a carrier will pass through the Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf.We routinely operate our ships - all of our ships, all of our types of ships - inside the Arabian Gulf and that will continue,Kirby said.(Additional reporting by Reed Stevenson)

Israel's top court backs bar on Palestinian spouses
ReutersBy Dan Williams | Reuters – JAN 12,12

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's top court has upheld a law denying citizenship to Palestinians married to Israelis, with one judge saying it helped the Jewish state fend off national suicide.By a 6-to-5 vote, the Supreme Court late Wednesday rejected petitions against the 2003 ban, which civil liberty groups denounced as racist for potentially forcing members of Israel's 20-percent Arab minority who wed Palestinians to emigrate.The former centrist government championed the law chiefly on security grounds given Palestinian gun and bomb attacks.But Interior Minister Eli Yishai, who congratulated the Supreme Court Thursday, made clear that shoring up Israel's Jewish majority was also a concern. Yishai's party, run by rabbis, is a powerful partner in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rightist coalition.The ruling, Yishai told Israel Radio, served to stem a situation in which, not too many years hence, we would find yourself losing the majority, (and) faced with terrorism.

Israeli law guarantees full civil rights, including political representation, to Arab citizens, who are mostly Muslim. But they often complain of entrenched discrimination.Many Israeli Jews have been outraged by pro-Palestinian displays among their Arab compatriots, especially given the rise of hostile Hamas Islamists in Gaza and stalled peace talks with the secular Palestinian leadership in the occupied West Bank.Justice Asher Grunis, whose nomination as the Supreme Court's next president was welcomed by conservatives, voted to keep the citizenship law, saying in the ruling that rescinding it would mean thousands of Palestinians entering the country after marrying Israeli citizens.

RIGHTS, RIGHTISTS

Human rights do not prescribe national suicide,he wrote.Grunis framed his remarks around fears of infiltration by Palestinian militants, saying: The (law's) blow, as presented, to family life must be viewed against the certain harm, given past experience, to the lives and bodies of Israelis.Dissenting, Supreme Court President Dorit Beinisch and four other justices described the freedom to marry as being at the heart of democratic principle.The Association for Civil Rights in Israel, one of four petitioning groups, accused the Supreme Court of perpetuating a racist law and failing to uphold basic human rights in the face of the tyranny of the Knesset (parliament).The judicial review was also watched closely after right-wing politicians pursued procedural changes that would have helped them to influence selection of Supreme Court judges.On the attorney-general's advice and citing the need to preserve the court's independence, Netanyahu blocked that legislation.

Normally Israel naturalizes the spouses of its citizens, though it sometimes offers as a stop-gap permanent residency, a similar status but without the right to vote. Many Palestinians see economic opportunity in being an Israeli citizen or resident, as well as access to health and other state benefits.Saswan Zaher, a lawyer for the Israeli Arab lobby Adalah, another petitioner, said the ruling showed the country is interfering in the choosing of spouses.Seeking to play down the law's disruptive effect, Yishai said his ministry issued an average of 1,000 special entry permits a year to Palestinians and other non-Israelis on the basis of what he called "family unification.(Writing by Dan Williams; Editing by Sophie Hares)

Eternal leader' Kim's body to be enshrined
Associated PressBy HYUNG-JIN KIM | Associated Press – JAN 12,12

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said Thursday it will enshrine Kim Jong Il's body in the palace housing his father, the national founder, deepening its veneration of the Kim dynasty as the country transfers power to a third generation of the family.The country also said it will erect a new Kim Jong Il statue and build towers to his immortality, while the ruling party called him eternal leader and gave his birthday a new title that underlines his military-first policy and links him more closely to his father, Kim Il Sung, who is still revered as the eternal president.The North's state media have sought since Kim Jong Il's death on Dec. 17 to show his son, Kim Jong Un, as a strong, confident military leader, but outside observers are watching to see if he can impose his will over the military and government as strongly as his father did during 17 years of absolute rule.North Korea has quickly handed Kim Jong Un a slew of his father's prominent titles and repeatedly connected him with his father and grandfather in an effort to add legitimacy to the young leader. North Korea also has stepped up propaganda praising Kim Jong Il's works and vowed to uphold his policies in what is seen as an attempt to justify the hereditary power transfer.

On Thursday, the North's state media called Kim Jong Il the eternal leader — reminiscent of his father's title — and said his body will be displayed at Pyongyang's Kumsusan Memorial Palace, where the embalmed body of Kim Il Sung has been lying since 1995, a year after he died.It was unclear whether their bodies would be in the same room.The new name for Kim Jong Il's birthday, Day of the Shining Star, is another link to Kim Il Sung, whose birthday is called the Day of the Sun.Shining Star also was the name given by North Korea to what it says was a satellite it launched into space in April 2009, but that the United States says was a long-range rocket test. The launch stoked regional tensions and earned North Korea international sanctions and condemnation.The new measures reflect North Korea's unanimous desire ... to hold the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il in high esteem as the eternal leader of the party and the revolution, the Political Bureau of the Workers' Party's Central Committee said, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.North Korea is boosting the cult of personality surrounding Kim Jong Il as it links him with Kim Il Sung, said Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul.On Thursday, North Korea's state television showed photos of a smiling Kim Jong Un gesturing in a manner similar to his father and wearing a similar parka as he spoke to military officers and inspected construction sites.Associated Press writer Sam Kim contributed to this report.

Gaza Hamas leader to visit Iran, Qatar
AFPAFP – JAN 12,12

Gaza's Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniya will visit Iran and Qatar at the end of January, his adviser told Palestine newspaper on Thursday.Haniya, who has just returned from his first trip abroad since the Islamist movement forcibly took control of Gaza in 2007, would visit Iran and Qatar as part of a wider tour of the Muslim world, Yusef al-Rizq told the newspaper, which is close to Hamas.The second stage of prime minister Ismail Haniya's tour will kick off at the end of January and will include Qatar, Iran and several other Islamic countries, Rizq said, hailing the success of the first stage which included stops in Egypt, Sudan, Turkey and Tunisia.

The political blockade the world imposed on the government Hamas formed after its 2006 electoral victory has come to an end in the wake of the prime minister's tour which saw him received in all the countries he visited as the head of government, he said.Haniya said he had found a great willingness to help the Palestinians and to break the blockade imposed on Gaza and its government in all the countries he visited.

Big Atomic Bomb Will Come Out: Ahmadinejad and Chavez Joke About Nuclear Strike Against U.S The BlazeThe Blaze – Tue, Jan 10, 2012

(The Blaze/AP)– President Hugo Chavez defended his close ally Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday and warned of U.S. warmongering threats amid tensions over Tehran’s nuclear program.chavez-mahmoudThe two leaders met in Caracas on the first leg of a four-nation tour that will also take Ahmadinejad to Nicaragua, Cuba and Ecuador. Their conversation reportedly often focused on anti-U.S. rhetoric, which according to the Daily Mail included Mr Chavez saying that:he was hiding a bomb under a grassy knoll before the steps of the presidential palace, saying: ‘That hill will open up and a big atomic bomb will come out. The imperialist spokesmen say Ahmadinejad and I are going into the basement now to set our sights on Washington and launch cannons and missiles… It’s laughable.The leaders were apparently serious, however, when discussing the threat they believe the U.S. poses.We are very worried, Chavez said of the pressures being put on Iran by the United States and its allies, which he accused of being a threat to peace.They present us as aggressors, Chavez said as he received Ahmadinejad at the presidential palace.Iran hasn’t invaded anyone, he added. Who has dropped thousands and thousands of bombs … including atomic bombs? Ahmadinejad’s visit comes after the U.S. imposed tougher sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program, which Washington believes Tehran is using to develop atomic weapons. Chavez and his allies back Iran in arguing the nuclear program is purely for peaceful purposes.Both leaders joked that their relationship shouldn’t cause any concern.

chavez-mahmoud microphones

Ahmadinejad said if they were together building anything like a bomb, the fuel of that bomb is love.Chavez played on the same theme in his remarks: We’s going to work a lot for some bombs, for some missiles, to keep the war going. Our war is against poverty, hunger and underdevelopment.The Venezuelan leader said in his televised speech that Iranians assistance has helped the South American country build 14,000 homes as well as factories that produce food, tractors and vehicles.We will always be together, Ahmadinejad said through an interpreter. Smiling as he put his hand on Chavez’s arm, the Iranian leader called the Venezuelan president “the champion of fighting against imperialism.Government officials signed two agreements promoting industrial cooperation and worker training.Chavez accused the U.S. and its allies of wrongly demonizing Iran.Iran finds itself under increasing pressure in the standoff over its nuclear program, and in response to the latest U.S. sanctions has threatened to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, an important transit route for oil tanker shipments.Diplomats on Monday confirmed a report that Iran has begun uranium enrichment at an underground bunker, a development that increases fears among U.S. and European officials about Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Two diplomats spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because their information was confidential and based on an inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Chavez’s long-running confrontation with Washington also looks set to grow more antagonistic after the U.S. State Department announced, just hours before Ahmadinejad’s arrival, that it was expelling Venezuela’s consul general in Miami, Livia Acosta Noguera, due to allegations that she discussed a possible cyber-attack against the U.S. government.The expulsion followed an FBI investigation into accusations contained in a documentary aired by the Spanish-language broadcaster Univision last month. According to the documentary, Acosta discussed the possible cyber-attack while she was previously assigned as a diplomat in Mexico. The documentary was based on recordings of conversations with her and other officials, and also alleged that Cuban and Iranian diplomatic missions were involved.Chavez called the U.S. action unjustified, arbitrary and said his government will consider its response. He called it an attack against our nation.The diplomat had already returned to Venezuela in December because we knew that was going to occur, Chavez said.Beyond voicing criticism of the U.S. on his tour, Ahmadinejad is also likely to look for ways to use his Latin American alliances to diminish the impact of sanctions on Iran’s oil industry, said Diego Moya-Ocampos, an analyst with consulting firm IHS Global Insight in London.However, Moya-Ocampos predicted that Venezuela is going to be very careful not to push its relationship with Iran beyond the U.S. tolerance limits,so as not to risk being hit with more U.S. sanctions. Last year, the U.S. imposed sanctions on state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA for delivering at least two cargoes of oil products to Iran.

The U.S. government has also repeatedly accused Iran of sponsoring terrorism, and growing Iranian diplomatic ties with some Latin American countries have generated worries in Washington.In Quito, Ecuador, Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino told reporters that Ecuador’s government has no reason to stop having relations with Iran and said his country recognizes Iran’s right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Argentina, which has good relations with Venezuela, also has warrants out for the arrests of Iran’s defense minister and other officials suspected of involvement in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people.The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organization based in Los Angeles, urged Ahmadinejad‘s hosts to tell Iran that they support Argentina’s demands for the extradition of those implicated in the attack. The organization also condemned Ahmadinejad for threatening Israel, saying in a statement on Monday that honoring that trafficker of hatred with impunity involves his hosts as accomplices.

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.

EU legal expert casts doubt on new fiscal treaty
Today JAN 11,12 @ 15:42 By Lisbeth Kirk

BRUSSELS - A legal expert who helped write several EU treaties - Jean-Claude Piris - has warned that the new fiscal compact will not be enough to stop the financial crisis.This little piece of paper being discussed now is a good step, but it will not be enough to solve the problems. More steps are needed, Piris said at a think-tank event in Brussels on Tuesday (10 January), referring to the intergovernmental treaty on fiscal discipline to be signed by 26 EU leaders in March.

The 68-year-old Frenchman has a deep knowledge of EU law after serving as director general of the EU Council's legal service between 1988 and 2010. He also helped to write the Maastricht, Amsterdam and Nice treaties, the Constitutional Treaty and the Lisbon Treaty.Piris made the remarks at an event to launch his new book The Future of Europe - Towards a Two-Speed EU? He urged the formation of a temporarily avantgarde group outside the existing EU Treaty to tackle the crisis. He also said national parliaments should get more involved in the reform process in Brussels to give it democratic legitimacy.Now we are in an acute crisis ... If we are doing nothing, maybe we are going towards irrelevance,he said.For the 17 [eurozone members] it is a vital interest to secure the euro. They are obliged to move ahead.
He noted that the biggest difficulty in getting the two-speed structure to work will be the formation of a coherent avantgarde group. But it is possible now, because Europe is committed to austerity,he said.The book-launch attracted such a big audience that the organiser, Paul Adamson from the Brussels-based think-tank The Centre, had to move it from the original venue to the auditorium of the ING Bank, prompting him to crack the joke that banks - widely blamed for the crisis - are good for something.For his part, Charles Grant, the head of the London-based policy shop, the Centre for European Reform, told the meeting it is quite likely Britain will leave the EU within 10 years.The UK in December vetoed making the fiscal reforms at 27-level, forcing the other member states to launch the 26-level intergovernmental project.Grant said that when British Prime Minister David Cameron eventually steps down, eurosceptic Conservative Party personalities like London mayor Boris Johnson might initiate a referendum on British EU membership.He added that a two-speed EU with a separate treaty for eurozone members might work but would undermine the European Commission in its basic tasks of protecting the interests of smaller member states and launching EU-level legal proposals.Poul Skytte Christoffersen, Denmark's ambassador to Belgium and its former envoy to the EU, also voiced concern on the EU split.The thesis is that one group will move forward and others will follow in good time. But I'm not sure it works. The experience from Denmark is that it does not work like that, he said. He underlined that he is not speaking for the Danish EU presidency.

He warned that a two-speed EU risks alienating the former Communist member states: It would be a pity to place these new countries in a second class now. We risk losing results of the past 10 years' work.Christoffersen said the current EU commission under Jose Manuel Barroso is a shadow of its former self under Romano Prodi some 10 years ago.He explained that the Prodi college used to see commissioners get involved in policy-making, forming coalitions and meeting frequently. But the Barroso college works by presidential fiat and has become a kind of intergovernmental body.Today, basically everything is being done to avoid a real discussion at the level of the college. It is seen as some sort of failure by the top-hierarchy in the commission if the commissioners are to have a real discussion - not to speak about voting,Christoffersen said.He added that the situation could improve with different people in charge. It can change again with [new] personalities,he added.

Softer draft of fiscal treaty opens door for UK
Today JAN 11,12 @ 10:15 By Valentina Pop

COPENHAGEN - Less stringent constitutional demands, a weaker role for the EU commission and a provision allowing the UK to join at a later stage are among the most recent changes to the draft intergovernmental treaty on fiscal discipline, to be signed by leaders in March.The Danish EU Presidency is being launched with a series of press events in Copenhagen (Photo: Valentina Pop)The third draft - distributed to EU member states' negotiators on Tuesday (10 January) evening and seen by EUobserver - has softened the obligation to enshrine a golden rule on balanced budgets into the constitutions of the 26 member states taking part in the new pact.The move comes after indications that several countries - notably euro-members Ireland and Finland, but also non-euro states wanting to sign up, such as Denmark and Romania - would have to hold referendums in order to change their constitutions.Instead of asking for the golden rule to be introduced in national binding provisions of a constitutional or equivalent nature as in the second draft penned earlier this month, the latest text asks for provisions of binding force and permanent character, preferably constitutional, that are guaranteed to be respected throughout the national budgetary processes.The role of the EU commission in taking debt sinners to court for not properly transposing the golden rule into national law, an idea introduced in the second draft at the demand of the European Parliament, has also been watered down to the commission issuing a report at the demand of another country adhering to the pact.The power of taking countries to court is instead to reside with countries - a u-turn going back to the first draft - after French worries the commission risks becoming too powerful.If the European Commission, after having given the contracting party concerned the opportunity to submit its observations, confirms non compliance in its report, the matter will be brought to the Court of Justice by the contracting parties,the latest text says, adding that the court ruling shall be binding on the country in question.

Another watering down of earlier drafts rules out introducing new sanctions for countries that break rules on overall public debt, opting instead to limit such penalties to ballooning budget deficits.Italy, whose debt level is around 120 percent of the gross domestic product, fiercely opposed the original idea.Another new paragraph leaves open the possibility for the UK to join the pact at a later stage, after Britain in December vetoed an EU Treaty change on the reforms, creating the intergovernmental arrangement at 26-level.This treaty shall be open to accession by member states of the European Union other than the contracting parties upon application that any such member state may file,Tuesday's draft says. Other countries are to approve the newcomer by common agreement.The working group which is pumping out the texts - a mixed bag of member states' officials led by a Luxemburger - kept another EU parliament demand, to enshrine the intergovernmental pact in EU Treaty law in the next five years.But it also changed the threshold of countries needed to ratify the pact for it to come into force from 15 to 12. In the first draft, the threshold was even lower, at nine countries.

Brussels warns Hungary on constitutional reform
Today JAN 11,12 @ 15:35 By Honor Mahony

BRUSSELS - The European Commission has warned Hungary to change parts of its constitution or face legal action amid fears that Prime Minister Viktor Orban is using his large parliamentary majority to undermine the independence of key parts of the state.In a statement issued Wednesday (11 January), the commission said it had concerns about the independence of the national central bank, the national data protection authority and the judiciary - in particular, on plans for mandatory early retirement of judges and prosecutors.The constitutional reforms were adopted by Orban's two-thirds-strong parliamentary majority in December and the new constitution came into place at the beginning of this year.Critics of the reforms - which have sparked street protests in Hungary, with demonstrators referring to Victator - say they remove checks and balances on the government. Socially conservative elements of the new constitution, such as the definition of marriage as a heterosexual union only, have also sparked concerns.Orban has said that he is simply completing the country's transition from its Communist past to a genuine democracy and that the new rules are needed to ensure the economic growth he promised Hungarians.The commission has given Hungary one week to back down. It said its legal analysis would be completed by 17 January. If Budapest continues to tough it out, Brussels reserves the right to take any steps that it deems appropriate, namely the possibility of launching infringement procedures.The potential procedure would begin next week with formal letters of complaint to the Hungarian authorities. After two months, the commission could then take the country to court.The swiftest way to lay to rest the concerns mentioned would of course be action by the Hungarian authorities themselves,the commission's statement said.

Brussels' worries have already had practical consequences - negotiations on a possible EU and International Monetary Fund aid package for Hungary were suspended in December due to concerns about the central bank's independence.Hungary asked for credit after its borrowing rates shot up.Wednesday also saw Hungary in the firing line for its budget deficit.Economic affairs commissioner Olli Rehn said Budapest has taken no effective action to limit its deficit and noted that Brussels may eventually withhold cohesion funds if the government does not take react - warnings set to further increase investor unease about the country.

Speak no evil

This is not the first time that Hungary - a member state since 2004 - has had a run-in with the commission over Prime Minister Orban's reforms.Last year, a media law seen as stifling journalists' independence was also strongly criticised. In the end, Brussels settled for small changes to the legislation. But recent moves to take away licences from an opposition radio station have once again raised concerns in the EU capital.Despite strongly expressed concern by members of the European Parliament and by some civil society groups of what is seen as Orban's drift towards authoritarianism, there has been little outright criticism from his EU partners.
Orban's party Fidesz is a member of the centre-right European People's Party, a pan-European umbrella group to which the leaders of France and Germany also belong, as well as the heads of the EU's three main institutions.

Rehn backs smart mutual debt fund
Today JAN 11,12 @ 06:43 By Honor Mahony

BRUSSELS - The idea of mutualising eurozone debt remains as controversial as ever but economic affairs commissioner Olli Rehn has spoken out in favour of a halfway house solution, whose authors say will solve the impasse between opposing ideological camps.The idea would see countries with a sovereign debt of above 60 percent of GDP - breaching single currency rules - pooling this excess debt into a redemption fund.The countries would be obliged to undertake structural reforms and growth-inducing measures and pay their debts back over 20 to 25 years.While I would not want to mix this with eurobonds proper, I find the proposal smart, potentially do-able and certainly worth exploring further, Rehn said during a hearing on eurobonds in the European Parliament on Tuesday (10 January).He made similar remarks in November but the views carry more weight now since a public consultation on eurobonds - in response to a commission discussion paper on the issue - has come to a close.The European redemption fund idea was drawn up by the German government's panel of independent economic advisors.Professor Christoph Schmidt, a member of this panel and also present at Tuesday's discussion, said the idea would allow for an emotionally detached discussion on the idea of pooling debt.To date, debate on the issue has pitted financially sound countries who worry about moral hazard against those who feel there should be more solidarity shown towards troubled euro members. Germany, who is calling the shots in the eurozone debate, is the most firmly opposed to eurobonds. But its opposition has not stopped the idea from re-surfacing - with both sides angered by the others' intransigence.We are trying to build a bridge, said Schmidt on the divide between the two camps.He said the idea had an inbuilt safety valve in that partaking countries would have to pledge to cover their debt with part of their national currency reserves, which he noted would not be easy to get past the domestic voter.

Other conditions would see the countries implement a constitutional debt brake, undertake fiscal consolidation and structural reform. Non-performing countries would be kicked out the scheme while those already in an external aid programme, such as Greece, could not take part in it.The low refinancing rates, said Schmidt, would allow potentially troubled countries some breathing space with nervous markets already driving up the borrowing rates in several eurozone countries.Speaking generally about the eurozone debt crisis, which has rolled on for two years without European politicians being able to stop it, Rehn said the euro remains a prime political project.He drew flak from MEPs from Ireland and Portugal - countries both subject to EU-IMF bailouts and undergoing swingeing spending cuts - for focussing on austerity measures without putting forward any concrete ideas for growth.Rehn remained unapologetic however, noting that no amount of fiscal stimulus will solve the crisis unless the crisis of confidence in the markets is first solved through deficit reductions and rules-based economic governance.You cannot solve a debt crisis by piling up more debt,he said.He pointed to countries such as Finland and Sweden who carried out painful fiscal consolidation in the 1990s. They came through, said Rehn - himself a Finn - because they ring-fenced spending on education and innovation.

US senators warn Ashton on risk of Iran war
Today JAN 11,12 @ 09:29 By Nikolaj Nielsen

BRUSSELS - US senators have warned EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton that Iran's alleged nuclear weapons programme risks igniting a military confrontation.
Iran's nuclear progamme is moving forward - sharply increasing the risks of either a military confrontation or other countries in the Middle East pursuing their own nuclear arsenals, eight cross-party senators said in a letter sent to the EU's top diplomat on Tuesday (10 January).They urged Europe to press ahead with sanctions on Iran's most valuable export - oil, with EU foreign ministers set to decide on a possible embargo at a meeting on 23 January.The senators also want the EU to impose sanctions against the Central Bank of Iran, its main financial intermediary.As you know, the Central Bank of Iran has been carrying out illicit and deceptive financial activities that are supporting the Iranian government's advancing nuclear programme, the letter said.The United States, Canada and the United Kingdom have already taken steps against the bank. With Europe on board, the US hopes to force Tehran into dropping its nuclear programme while encouraging non-Iranian oil exporters to make up the difference.

For its part, Iran says its nuclear progamme is peaceful and will be used to generate electricity for internal consumption, allowing them to export more oil instead of burning it for domestic needs.It has made a number of threats in the run-up to the EU embargo decision, including a military blockade of the Strait of Hormuz (an export route for Saudi oil) - a potential development which could see world oil prices go up by 50 percent, according to The New York Times.It recently test-fired various types of missiles, announced the production of its first nuclear fuel rod and warned the US not to send warships to the Persian Gulf.The EU imports 5.8 percent of its crude from Iran. Greece, Italy and Spain are the biggest buyers, with Greece importing around 35 percent of its consumption from the pariah state.The US letter comes at a critical moment.The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Tuesday that Iran has started to enrich uranium at a fortified nuclear site.

Iran has started the production of uranium enriched up to 20 percent in the Fordo Fuel Enrichment Plant, IAEA spokesman Gill Tudor told Bloomberg in an email.Highly enriched uranium is a necessary ingredient to create fission nuclear weapons. Weapons-grade uranium is enriched to 90 percent. The IAEA in November said it has evidence that Iran is aiming to build such a weapon.In October, Ashton sent a letter to the Iranian leadership asking to restart talks after an almost year-long gap. She is still waiting for a response.The US letter addressed to Ashton was signed by senators Joseph I. Libermann, Mark Kirk, John Kyl, Marco Rubio, Robert Menedez, Charles E. Schumer, Robert P. Casey, Jr. and Kirsten E. Gillibrand.

First Tornado of 2012 Confirmed in Texas
LiveScience.comLiveScience.com – JAN 11,12

The year's first confirmed tornado formed yesterday (Jan. 9) in Texas as severe weather, including another reported twister and ping-pong-size hail, caused damage near Galveston, Houston and other cities in the southeastern portion of the state.
According to reports from the nation's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., two twisters were reported near Galveston. Storm survey teams are sifting through the damage today and are investigating other possible early tornadoes in the area.Spring is prime time for Texas twisters, but they can strike before then.It's unusual but not unheard of, said Josh Lichter, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Galveston office.An EF-1 tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Tornado Damage Scale touched down in Fort Bend County, just west of Houston, shortly after 3 p.m. local time, the U.S. National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration confirmed. In nearby Galveston, which is next to the Gulf of Mexico, law enforcement said they saw another tornado touch down. Several other damage reports suggest more tornadoes struck.The severe weather brought badly needed rain to Texas, which in 2011 suffered through its hottest and driest year on record. But the parched ground couldn't soak up the onslaught of moisture, and so the rain came with a cost. A mall was shut down as roads flooded, stranding drivers unaccustomed to severe weather this time of year. The reported tornadoes damaged the roof of the mall, damaged several homes and blew out car windows.

Our main severe weather season is more like April and May, and it lasts until early fall, Lichter told OurAmazingPlanet. But with the right combination of conditions – moist, warm air from the Gulf mixed with strong wind shear – tornadoes can occur at any time.The first hours of 2011 saw a deadly tornado outbreak that had begun New Year's Eve. The outbreak stretched from Indiana to Mississippi and included an EF-3 tornado that killed two people in Missouri.2011 was a record-breaking year for tornadoes in the United States, with more than 1,600 twisters confirmed. Several outbreaks each caused at least $1 billion in damage. In late April, 343 tornadoes struck between Alabama and Virginia, the largest outbreak on record. April 27 set a single-day record when 199 tornadoes struck the Southeast.A tornado rated EF-5 struck Joplin, Mo., in May, killing at least 141 people, making it the deadliest single tornado since modern U.S. tornado record-keeping began in 1950.You can follow OurAmazingPlanet staff writer Brett Israel on Twitter: @btisrael.

Close the Straits, Sink the Iranian Navy -- It's that Simple By Dan McGinnis | Yahoo! Contributor Network – JAN 11,12

COMMENTARY | It seems like the U.S. Navy is doing an awful lot of rescuing these days, and Iran should be pretty thankful for it. Twice in the past five days, U.S. military ships have come to the aid of Iranian civilian maritime sailors in distress.
The Coast Guard cutter Monomoy gave aid and comfort today to an Iranian fishing vessel that had issued a general distress signal, The Envoy reported. The captain of the dhow Ya-Hussayn reported flooding in the engine room and had launched four passengers into a life raft that was tied to the stern of the ship. Coast Guard sailors rescued two from the ship as well and provided first aid, something the Iranian Foreign Ministry said was a grateful humanitarian gesture.It's good the U.S. was able to lend assistance to both vessels, and I'm glad the Iranian government at least publicly recognized the events took place. Now if Tehran would just tone down the rhetoric a couple of notches, maybe there could be some progress on the issues that separate it from the rest of the civilized world.The Iranian military can put on any public face they want, but it cannot seriously believe it would be any match for the U.S. Navy or, for that matter, any of the other navies that are on patrol in the Persian Gulf right now. And as much as it would like to believe to the contrary, the ordinary Iranian family probably can see right through the propaganda as well.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz if the European Union carries through on its threat to place an embargo on all Iranian crude imports. That would be the worst mistake Iran has made since the 1979 hostage crisis, an opinion shared by The Telegraph.There is no doubt in my mind that the U.S. Navy would respond by completely and effectively eliminating all offensive capabilities that Iran currently has, including any nuclear capabilities.

Assad vows victory, Syria accused of war crimes
ReutersBy Alistair Lyon | Reuters – JAN 11,12

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad vowed on Wednesday to vanquish foreign conspirators plotting to end his rule, and an Arab League observer quit Syria, accusing the authorities of committing war crimes.In the latest violence, a Western journalist was among eight people killed in the restive city of Homs, Syria's Addounia television said, adding that 25 people had been wounded.It said the dead journalist worked for France 2 television and that the wounded one was Dutch.
The death would be the first of a foreign reporter in Syria in 10 months of unrest. Most foreign media were barred from the country for much of that time.A witness in Homs, who asked not to be named, said the casualties were caused by rocket-propelled grenades fired during a pro-Assad rally. He said he had seen three bodies.A smiling Assad, in a dark jacket and open-necked shirt, greeted thousands of rapturous supporters in a Damascus square, only a day after breaking a six-month public silence.The crowd shouted Shabiha forever, for your eyes, Assad, a reference to loyalist militiamen, mostly members of Assad's minority Alawite sect, who have gained a fearsome reputation for their part in suppressing protests against the president.Assad's wife Asma and their two children joined him for his surprise appearance in the capital's central Umayyad Square.

I belong to this street, Assad, 46, said, adding Syria faced foreign conspirators. We will make this phase the end for them and their plans. We are going to win without any doubt.His remarks followed a 100-minute speech on Tuesday in which he mocked the Arab League, vowed to hit terrorists with an iron fist and promised reforms, but with no hint that he would relinquish the power he inherited from his father in 2000.The Arab League, which suspended Syria in November for failing to halt its crackdown on protests, sent an observer mission in December that has not stopped the bloodletting. It urged Syria this week to protect its observers.The mission hit more trouble after one monitor accused Syria of war crimes saying the mission was a farce, and the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said on Tuesday a U.N. official had told the Security Council the killings had gathered pace since the monitors arrived.In his speech the same day, Assad had scorned the Arab League for trying to discipline Syria, saying it had failed for six decades to take a position in the Arab interest and that the Arab League without Syria suspends its own Arab identity.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said four people had been killed in Kafr Nabouda, in Hama province, where troops staging raids fought army deserters. The British-based group put Tuesday's civilian death toll at 27, including 15 in the city of Deir al-Zor and 10 in Homs, plus four army defectors.

SCENES OF HORROR

The Arab League monitor, Anwar Malek, said he had resigned because the mission was powerless to prevent what he said were the scenes of horror he had seen in the restive city of Homs.The mission was a farce and the observers have been fooled, the Algerian told Al Jazeera English television. The regime orchestrated it and fabricated most of what we saw to stop the Arab League from taking action against the regime ...The regime isn't committing one war crime but a series of crimes against its people,he added.Malek's resignation was the latest blow to a mission already criticized for inefficiency and whose members have come under attack this week from both Assad supporters and protesters.Syria has barred most independent media, making it difficult to verify conflicting accounts of events on the ground.

There was no immediate comment on Malek's remarks from the Arab League, which decided on Sunday to keep monitors in place at least until they report again on their mission on January 19.Under the Arab peace plan, Syrian authorities are supposed to stop attacking peaceful protests, withdraw troops and tanks from the streets, free detainees and open a political dialogue.The United Nations has said more than 5,000 civilians have been killed in unrest that erupted in March, inspired by Arab revolts elsewhere, while the authorities accuse armed Islamist militants of killing 2,000 members of the security forces.

INCREASE IN KILLINGS

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice said a U.N. official had told the Security Council that about 400 people had been killed since the Arab monitors began work on December 26, which she said was a much higher daily toll than before they arrived.Rice was speaking after Lynn Pascoe, U.N. under-secretary-general for political affairs, briefed the 15-nation Security Council behind closed doors on Syria and other major crises. She said the figure did not include more than two dozen people killed in a suicide bombing in Damascus last week.That is a clear indication that the government of Syria, rather than using the opportunity ... to end the violence and fulfill all of its commitments (to the Arab League), is instead stepping up the violence,she said.Assad's stance, casting the unrest as a foreign conspiracy and countering it with violent repression and hazy promises of reform, resembles that of other Arab leaders confronted by mass protests in the past year. Three of them have been toppled.Until three deadly bombings in Damascus in the past three weeks, the Syrian capital had remained relatively peaceful.But residents now say fear has spread through the city, emptying normally bustling streets and crowded cafes and leaving a ghost town at night as people hurry home.People have stopped buying. Days can pass without even one client,said the owner of a clothes shop in Hamra Street, in the heart of the capital. After the explosions we are closing down early, we do not know when this street will be targeted.(Additional reporting by Mariam Karouny, Laila Bassam and Dominic Evans in Beirut, Martina Fuchs in Dubai and Aly el-Daly in Cairo)

Doomsday Clock a minute closer to midnight
ReutersReuters – JAN 11,12

(Reuters) - The symbolic Doomsday Clock calculated by a group of scientists was moved a minute closer to midnight on Tuesday, with the group citing inadequate progress on nuclear weapons reduction and climate change.The clock was moved to five minutes to midnight, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists said, the first adjustment since the beginning of 2010, when it was moved back one minute to six minutes from midnight -- or doomsday.Two years ago, it appeared that world leaders might address the truly global threats that we face. In many cases, that trend has not continued or been reversed, the group said in a statement.The Bulletin (www.thebulletin.org) is a periodical founded in 1945 by University of Chicago scientists who had helped develop the first atomic weapons in the Manhattan Project.

They created the Doomsday Clock two years later to symbolize how close humanity was to self-annihilation, with an initial setting of seven minutes to midnight.Initially the clock was focused on nuclear war, but it has been broadened in recent years as the scientists, who include a range of Nobel laureates, added other risks to humanity.The scientists said world leaders had failed to sustain the progress in nuclear disarmament that had seen them move the hands back on the clock two years ago.As well, the major global challenge now was a warmer climate that threatens to bring droughts, famine, water scarcity and rising seas, said Allison Macfarlane, an associated professor at George Mason University near Washington, who chairs the group's committee that helps set the clock.The global community may be near a point of no return in efforts to prevent catastrophe from changes in Earth's atmosphere, Macfarlane said in the statement.The last time the group moved the hands closer to midnight was in 2007, by two minutes due to a North Korean nuclear weapon test, Iranian nuclear ambitions and a renewed U.S. emphasis at the time of the military utility of nuclear weapons.The closest the clock ever came to midnight was 1953, the year of the first test of a hydrogen bomb by the United States.(Writing by Rodney Joyce; editing by Dan Burns)

Powerful quake hits off western Indonesia
By FAKHRURRADZIE GADE | AP – JAN 11,12

BANDA ACEH, Indonesia (AP) — A powerful earthquake hit waters off western Indonesia early Wednesday, prompting officials to briefly issue a tsunami warning. Panicked residents poured into the streets, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage.The U.S. Geological Survey said the 7.3-magnitude quake struck 260 miles (420 kilometers) off the coast of Aceh province just after midnight. It was centered 18 miles (30 kilometers) beneath the ocean floor.People in the provincial capital, Banda Aceh — still deeply traumatized by the 2004 monster quake and tsunami — were rattled from their sleep. They fled their homes and waited outside as sirens blared from local mosques, some hopping in cars and motorcycles and heading for high ground.I'm afraid, said Fera, a resident, who skidded off on her motorbike with her two children and her mom.In the town of Seumele, patients were evacuated from a a hospital.Officials contacted by The Associated Press in several coastal cities, however, had not received any reports about serious injures or damage.Nearly two hours after the quake struck, the local geological agency lifted it's tsunami warning.Indonesia is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an arc of volcanos and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.A giant quake off the country on Dec. 26, 2004, triggered a tsunami in the Indian Ocean that killed 230,000 people, half of them in Aceh.Associated Press writers Ali Kotarumalos and Niniek Karmini contributed to this report from Jakarta.

Israel-Palestinian talks absurd: Jordan Islamists
AFPAFP – JAN 11,12

Jordan's powerful opposition Islamists urged Palestinians on Wednesday to quit absurd negotiations with Israel, two days after Amman hosted the second round of informal talks between the two sides.We demand the Palestinian Authority leave the dark tunnel of absurd negotiations with Israel that only serves Zionist and American interests, the Islamic Action Front (IAF) said in a statement on its website.Going back to negotiations in light of increasing settlement building in the West Bank and Jerusalem means neglecting Palestinian rights.The IAF, the political arm of Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood, said the talks would come at the expense of Palestinian people to save the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, which fears the Arab Spring.It added the negotiations were also designed to support US President Barack Obama in his election battle.On January 3, negotiators from both camps held their first face-to-face meeting in more than 15 months, in an encounter arranged by Jordan and attended by officials from the Quartet of diplomatic peacemakers for the Middle East.

Israel preparing for nuclear Iran

Israel is preparing for Iran to become a nuclear power and has accepted it may happen within a year, the London Times reported on Monday citing an Israeli security report.The Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) think-tank prepared scenarios for the day after an Iranian nuclear weapons test at the request of former Israeli ambassadors, intelligence officials and ex-military chiefs, the paper reported.Israel has so far maintained it will do all within its power to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear capabilities, but has shifted its position following recent United Nations' reports, according to the Times.The UN atomic agency said Monday that Iran is now enriching uranium at a new site in a hard-to-bomb mountain bunker, in a move set to stoke Western suspicions further that Tehran wants nuclear weapons.INSS specialists including a former head of Israel's National Security Council and two former members of the prime minister's office conducted the simulation study in Tel Aviv last week.If Iran does test a nuclear weapon, INSS predicts a profound shift in the Middle East power balance.According to extracts of the report seen by the British publication, experts believe the US would propose a defence pact with Israel, but would urge it not to retaliate.Russia would seek an alliance with the US to prevent nuclear proliferation in the region, although Saudi Arabia would likely pursue its own nuclear programme, the report concluded based on current policies.INSS specialists believe that an Iranian test in January 2013 would follow increasingly provocative demands by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's regime, including the redrawing of its Iraqi borders and action against the vessels of the US Fifth Fleet.The simulation showed that Iran will not forgo nuclear weapons, but will attempt to use them to reach an agreement with the major powers that will improve its position, said a passage of the report published by the Times.The simulation showed that (the Israeli military option), or the threat of using it, would also be relevant following an Iranian nuclear test,it added.

Israel condemned intelligence chief Meir Dagan last June after he speculated that Iran may obtain nuclear weaponry.Conclusions from the simulation have been sent to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Times reported.Iran, which insists its nuclear programme is for exclusively peaceful purposes, has repeatedly said it will not abandon uranium enrichment despite four rounds of UN Security Council resolutions calling on Tehran to desist.While nuclear energy plants need fuel enriched to 3.5 percent, Iran says the 20-percent enriched uranium is necessary for its Tehran research reactor to make isotopes to treat cancers.

Hamas popularity up but Fatah still ahead: poll
AFP – JAN 11,12

Hamas's popularity rose among the Palestinian public after a prisoner swap deal with Israel but its Fatah rival remains favourite to win the next elections, a poll has shown.And the public is divided over whether the two rival factions will make good on a landmark reconciliation deal they signed last May, with 50 percent expressing optimism and 46 percent saying it would fail.The findings were laid out in a quarterly survey carried out by the Palestinian Centre for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) that was released late on Tuesday.Following its successful conclusion of a landmark prisoner swap deal with Israel late last year, more than a third of the public -- 37 percent -- said their support for the Islamist movement Hamas had increased, while only 10 percent said it had fallen.However, it was unlikely to change people's voting patterns at the ballot box, the figures showed.If elections were held today, 43 percent said they would vote for Fatah -- a drop of two percentage points since the previous quarterly survey -- while a stable 29 percent said they would chose Hamas; other parties would secure 11 percent while 17 percent remain undecided.Some 60 percent said they were satisfied with the performance of president Mahmud Abbas who heads the secular Fatah, compared with 52 percent in the previous survey which was conducted before his historic bid to seek full state membership at the United Nations in September.Most respondents were deeply sceptical that Hamas and Fatah would manage to set up an interim government of independents as called for in the reconciliation deal.Only one in five people -- or 21 percent -- expected they would set up a caretaker cabinet by the stated deadline of the end of January, while 46 percent said they would not manage it on time.And more than a quarter -- or 27 percent -- said they did not think it would happen at all.The poll was carried out on 15-17 December among a representative sample of 1,270 adults in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and had a margin error of 3.0 percent.
