SATELLITE SPOTS TANKS IN SYRIAN CITY

LAPD Pioneers High-Tech Crime-Fighting War Room
February 8, 2012 11:53 PM


LOS ANGELES (CBS) — The LAPD is fighting crime from a high-tech war room that gives it eyes all over the city. The surveillance hub is now a model for police forces around the world and KCAL9 got an exclusive tour inside from Chief Charlie Beck.We are targets on our own soil, says Beck.We have to be ready.What began as a grass roots idea following the 9/11 terrorist attacks is now a state-of-the-art real-time analysis critical response center. It’s called RACR, and it’s located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles.This is a system that cuts through the red tape, that gets information to the people that need it,says Chief Beck. He calls it the brains of the department, twenty-four/seven.Police in the activity center monitor live feeds of city and traffic cameras, counter-terrorism information, and real-time crime mapping, with cutting edge software.If we didn’t have that we would be operating blind, says Capt. Sean Malinowski, the Commanding Officer at RACR. Essentially we’re always activated here.RACR is a critical crime-fighting tool at the center of every high profile incident in the City of Los Angeles.We have some real-time tools that help us analyze crime as it’s happening, says Malinowski.And then we feed that information out to the geographic areas and to patrol divisions.RACR is relied upon during events like dignitary visits from the Royals and President Obama, as well as the recent Occupy LA showdown and arrests.We had eyes on that, both through video cameras that the city owns, and also through video streams that were provided by the actual Occupy LA protesters,says Malinowski.Most recently, RACR was invaluable in putting an end to the Hollywood arsons.

Malinowski says RACR plotted each arson fire incident as it happened, creating a three-square-mile geographic hot spot that resulted in the quick arrest of accused fire starter Harry Burkhart.At the time he was taken into custody, this area was flooded with sheriffs and with LAPD officers, says Malinowski. Based on the fact that we kind of could see his movements in real time.RACR was born in a functioning bomb shelter, four stories below the Los Angeles Civic Center.LAPD Commander Blake Chow remembers a time when tracking crime at RACR was done by hand. There was very little technology,says Chow, and RACR had no budget.Police operated with dry erase boards, personal computers, and simple monitors.When we built RACR, there was no template to look at,says Chow.There was no police department we could go look at and ask them, how did you build it? Today LAPD’s RACR is the standard operating model for law enforcement agencies worldwide. It’s used as a guidebook on how to protect communities and fight crime.

Feb 11, 1:44 AM EST APNewsBreak: Satellite spots tanks in Syrian city By DAN ELLIOTT Associated Press

LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) -- Satellite image provider DigitalGlobe Inc. released photos Friday that appear to show Syrian army tanks and other armored vehicles in the city of Homs.DigitalGlobe said the images were taken late Friday morning Syrian time by the company's WorldView 2 satellite from about 480 miles above the Earth.Stephen Wood, director of DigitalGlobe's analysis center, said the photos show tanks, armored personnel carriers and other armored vehicles in the southern part of the city, some of them near apartment buildings.The satellite images show an increase in the level of army activity in and around Homs from the previous 24 hours, Wood said.
Fighting in Homs has reportedly killed hundreds of people over the past week from bombardments followed by soldiers' advances. The battle there is part of the Syrian government's attempts to suppress an 11-month-old uprising against the rule of President Bashar Assad.Wood said no battle damage was visible in the photos taken Friday, but previous images captured by the company's satellites did show the effects of fighting.Homs looks deserted, with very few cars on the streets in the satellite photos, he said.DigitalGlobe company has been gathering satellite photos of Syria since mid-2011, he said.

Cloud cover over Syria in recent days has left few opportunities for satellite photography, and the images captured Friday are hazy because of moisture in the atmosphere, Wood said.The images were taken the day that two suicide bombers attacked security compounds in the Syrian city of Aleppo, killing 28 people, according to Syrian government officials. Troops and security forces fired on anti-regime protesters as they left mosques after Friday prayers nationwide.DigitalGlobe is based in Longmont, Colo., and sells satellite imagery and analysis to clients that include the U.S. military, emergency response agencies and private companies.The company has three orbiting satellites, and a fourth is under construction.

REVELATION 18:3-6,19-21
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication,(U.S.A) and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,(U.S.A) and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,(AMERICA) my people,(CHRISTIANS,JEWS) that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you,(WITH FALSE FLAG TERRORISM) and double unto her double according to her works:(DOUBLE-EMP 1ST,THEN RUSSIA NUKE ATTACKS U.S.A) in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.(PROBABLY A RUSSIAN CYBER ATTACK WILL SET THE WHOLE SITUATION UP AS RUSSIA HACKS THE USA ARMY COMPUTERS.THEN THE EMP,THEN THE NUKE ATTACK)
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

THIS WILL BE THE REASON OBAMA IS SCARED OF RUSSIA/CHINA.

Russian Super Sunburn SS-N-26 ONYX Missiles Make US Navy Obsolete & US Attack on Iran Suicidal By Ron Chapman Jun 23, 2010 - 1:19:09 AM

Russian Super Sunburn SS-N-26 ONYX Missiles make the US Navy Obsolete & a US Attack on Iran Suicidal

Ron: Ever wonder why the US and Israel go on and on threatening to bomb Iran but never do? I have. The answer is simple enough. In accordance with a directive from Creator Source Star Fleet now defuses all nuclear weapons which makes the threat of a joint US Israeli nuclear annihilation of Iran just so much hot air. The second reason is even more embarrassing for the US because it evidences that the huge US Navy is now as militarily obsolete as Hannibal's elephants, and much more dangerous to man.Ever since the Russians developed the supersonic P270 Moskit [Mosquito] anti-ship missile, known in NATO circles as the SS-N-22 Sunburn, over 10 years ago the US Navy has been vulnerable to irrestible attack in confined seas such as the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea and the Eastern Mediterannean. That Sunburn missile type is said to be deployed in Syria and Iran. It was once described by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher as the most dangerous anti-ship missile in the Russian, and now the Chinese, fleet.The ship borne version of this missile is launched from deck mounted quad tubes, but since Rohrabacher made his comments, Russia has adapted the Sunburn for submerged launch from submarines, air launch from Sukhoi 27s, and single surface launch from modified 40’ flatbed trucks. Prior to 2003 all Western defense experts unambiguously viewed all versions of Sunburn as the most dangerous missiles in the world. - joe.vialls@ntlworld.com

However, by November 2003 the Russians had greatly improved on the SS-N-22, producing the SS-N-26* ONYX yakhont missile capable of a cruising speed of 2100 mph at an elevation of only 45 feet above sea level. That meant that Russia and China (which bought the ONYX technology from Russia) can sink American aircraft carriers at will without ever having to escalate to nuclear warfare, which gives both countries a massive strategic advantage. See Putin hammers the final nail into Israel’s coffin Copyright Joe Vialls, 16 November 2003, * Shown as the SS-N-25 in the picture below.Though Sunburn can fly 150 kilometers at Mach 2.1 [1,520 mph] at an average altitude of 60 feet, Onyx leaves this performance for dead. Using the same launch tubes as Sunburn, Onyx streaks along its extended 200+ kilometer flight path at a blistering Mach 2.9 [2,100 mph], while hugging the ground even closer at an average altitude of only 45 feet. Onyx is 100% Fire and Forget, meaning that once out of the launch tube, flight management is entirely automatic, and you can forget the doomed 93,000-ton aircraft carrier sitting meekly down range, only minutes away from being converted into environmentally-friendly heat and light.Though SS-N-25 Onyx deployment might seem like giant overkill, this is far from being the case, because Onyx differs from Sunburn in one utterly crucial way. So great is the kinetic energy at the point of impact on the target, that Onyx might sink an American aircraft carrier using only a conventional penetrating warhead. Those boffins who might doubt this should calculate the impact energy of 5,500 pounds of missile striking a carrier at a terminal velocity of 2,460 feet per second. Of course if the missile's fuel is used up the weight on impact and kinetic energy generated by the impact will be considerably less in which event it could take several Onyx hits to sink a carrier. The Onyx missile means that, at close quarters Russia or China can sink American aircraft carriers at will without ever having to escalate to nuclear warfare, which gives both countries a massive strategic advantage.Remember folks, this was the state of play in 2003. You can imagine just how much the Russians and Chinese may have improved on the Onyx technology since then.Sailing around the world posturing as the world's sole super power may seem like the good life to US naval personnel while they only really threaten countries like Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen and the like but when push comes to shove against Iran let alone Russia or China I would not like to be aboard a US warship. Would you?

Stratfor: Russia and the United States: Pushing Tensions to the Limit? 17:31 10-02-2012-Strafor Global Intelligence issued a special report on US-Russia relations.The report delivered by Stratfor to APA contains very interesting points.

“As Russia and the United States prepare for their respective presidential elections, tensions between the countries are growing. The central point of contention is U.S. ballistic missile defense (BMD) plans. Russia has several levers, including its ability to cut off supply lines to the NATO-led war effort in Afghanistan, to use in the standoff over BMD, but the United States could retaliate by supporting the current protests in Russia. Moscow is willing to escalate tensions with Washington but will not push the crisis to the point where relations could formally break.

Analysis
Relations between the United States and Russia are incredibly tense as both countries prepare for their respective presidential elections in 2012. The campaign season has presented both sides opportunities to escalate tensions, but it is unclear how far each side will go. Moscow and Washington have been in a standoff over myriad issues ever since Russia began to roll back Western influence in its periphery and assert its own power. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States got involved in the region intending to create a cordon around Russia to prevent it from ever becoming a global threat again. But after 2001, the U.S. focus shifted to the Islamic world, and a previously crippled Russia began to strengthen. Washington continued some of its policies of Russian containment, such as trying to give the key former Soviet states of Georgia and Ukraine NATO membership, but Eurasia was not the United States’ key focus. This gave Russia the time and opportunity to resurge into its former Soviet states. Moscow’s ultimate goal is not to recreate the Soviet Union — that entity eventually failed. Instead, Russia wants to limit the influence of external powers in the former Soviet Union and be recognized as the dominant player there. Consequently, foreign governments — particularly the United States and Europe — must shape bilateral relations within the framework of this understanding. In the past few years, Russia has been relatively successful in regaining influence in many of its former Soviet states. This brought Russian power back to its broader frontiers, especially in Central Europe, where the United States has staked a dominant position. Russia is not looking to control Central Europe, but it does not want the region to be
a base of U.S. power in Eurasia. Washington sees Central Europe as the new Cold War line — a position previously held by Germany — that halts Russia’s influence.

The Standoff: Missile Defense
Tensions between Moscow and Washington can be attributed to one primary issue: ballistic missile defense (BMD). The United States’ BMD systems are scheduled to become operational in Romania in 2015 and in Poland in 2018. It is not that Russia is concerned with the technical aspects of U.S.-led missile defense systems eroding or neutralizing Russia’s nuclear deterrent. Rather, BMD means a physical U.S. military presence in the region, showing Washington’s security commitment to Central Europe against a strengthening Russia. The United States claimed that the systems are intended to counter the rising threat from Iran. In response to this claim, Russia offered to integrate its BMD system with NATO’s system. According to Moscow, such integration would strengthen Western defenses across Eurasia — indeed, all the way to East Asia. However, Washington rejected the offer, thereby confirming Moscow’s suspicions that the BMD system is more about Russia than the Iranian threat. Accordingly, Russia made threatening gestures against the United States and its allies, ranging from support for Iran to the deployment of missiles on the borders of Central European countries. Russia’s goal was to attract Washington’s attention and shape the view inside Europe — particularly Western Europe — that Russia had offered the West partnership in missile defense but was being forced to take countermeasures against the United States.

New Leverage
In December, Russia gained a new and much more effective card to use against the United States in the BMD debate when a U.S. helicopter strike on the Afghan-Pakistani border caused the U.S.-Pakistani relationship to deteriorate. The Pakistanis responded to the strike by cutting shipments of fuel and supplies for the NATO-led war effort in Afghanistan across the Pakistani border. This left Washington and its allies with only one large supply network into Afghanistan: the Northern Distribution Network (NDN) that crosses Russia and many of its former Soviet states. Though the NDN traverses the Russian, Baltic, Caucasus and Central Asian regions, the United States knows the route depends on Moscow’s approval. Not only is Russia’s territory the center of the main route, but Moscow holds sufficient leverage in most of the other former Soviet states (particularly in Central Asia) to either formally shut down the route or have sections of it cut. Cutting the NDN would lead to an official break in relations between Russia and the United States because it would put at risk more than 130,000 U.S. and allied troops. Whereas Russia’s previous threats against the United States went unheeded, Washington may not be able to ignore this new threat.

The American Counter
At the end of 2011, it seemed that Russia was going to threaten to cut off the NDN to compel United States to change its position on BMD. But then something occurred that could give the United States more leverage against the Kremlin: Russian protests. In the lead-up to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s planned return to the presidency in March, Russia’s political landscape has been rocked by instability. Several political and social shifts have occurred within Russia as the country enters a new phase. The stress of a shift in Kremlin policy, the rise of anti-Kremlin groups and personal feuds have also led to the utter breakdown of the Kremlin clan system Putin emplaced a decade ago to manage Russia. Putin is vulnerable to this political volatility. Such instability is not new to Russia under Putin, but the present situation differs from previous ones in that several crises occurred at once. Putin is already sorting through each issue and most likely will make it through the upcoming election successfully. But it would be detrimental if the situation worsened — something the United States could trigger. Putin can weather the 80,000 anti-Kremlin protesters in Moscow that gathered Dec. 24 and even the more than 100,000 that demonstrated Feb. 4 (the protesters lack sufficient funding and organization). But should the various protest groups suddenly receive cash and organizational help, Putin could have a much harder time maintaining his usual level of control. Indeed, this is not a question of Putin’s winning the presidency — there are no viable candidates from rival parties to successfully challenge him — but rather a challenge to his ability to rule Russia effectively while maintaining his image as a powerful leader of a powerful country. Washington has hinted that it is willing to back the protesters if prompted. Following Russia’s parliamentary elections in December, reports circulated that the election watchdog accusing the Russian government of election fraud had U.S. funding. Then, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke against the results of the election in which Putin’s ruling party United Russia gained the majority of seats in the Duma. But the most significant signal came when newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul arrived in Russia in January. On just his second day at his post, McFaul spent several hours meeting with representatives of various protest groups at the U.S. Embassy. (The protesters are not necessarily pro-Western, but they are willing to garner support where they can ahead of the presidential election.) McFaul is considered one of the architects of the 2009 “reset” in U.S.-Russian relations that temporarily reduced hostilities, but the Kremlin sees him as a potential threat. McFaul has said that while the United States will work with Russia on matters of mutual interest, “Western leaders must recommit to the objective of creating the conditions for a democratic leader to emerge in the long term.” Though McFaul denies trying to spur a revolution in Russia, the Kremlin is well aware that the United States has the ability to easily support anti-government groups. However, this U.S. leverage most likely will be short-lived. Following Putin’s likely re-election March 4, the protest movements will evolve into various organizations, smaller demonstrations and possibly small political parties. Putin will then have six more years as president to sort through Russia’s political factions.

The Next Escalation?

After the election, Putin will have more time and resources to devote to other large issues facing Russia, such as its standoff with the United States. Another important event is on the horizon in May: the first NATO-Russia summit since 2008, to be held in Chicago. Russia has said that if Moscow and Washington do not reach an agreement on BMD by May, then Russia will not attend the summit. This would signal a possible breakdown of NATO-Russian relations. Russia’s former envoy to NATO, Dmitri Rogozin, already linked a BMD agreement to the overall NATO-Russia relationship and the future of the NDN. As the protest movements fade, the issue of missile defense will return to the spotlight, making Moscow’s previous threats a major concern for Washington. But Moscow will be careful to not take the threat so far that it triggers a massive crisis and breakdown between the United States and Russia. Moscow might want to make the Europeans uncomfortable during the U.S.-Russian standoff, but it does not want to create a backlash and prompt the Europeans to unify with the United States over regional security. Moreover, Russia does not want Afghanistan to spin out of control, since unrest in the country most likely would spill over into Central Asia. Russia also cannot compete with the United States when it comes to a military buildup. The Kremlin is unsure of future U.S. policy on Russia, since the U.S. presidential election is also on the horizon. Russia remembers well how ill-prepared it was for a shift in Washington when Ronald Reagan became president after Jimmy Carter. This is not to say such a shift will occur in November, but Moscow cannot be certain that it will not happen. Moscow has an opportunity to escalate tensions with the United States after Russia’s presidential election, but Moscow can only push the crisis so far without creating a massive break it cannot control.

Successful US-Israel radar test launches US missile shield's operational phase DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 10, 2012, 7:29 PM (GMT+02:00)

Israel's new Super Green Pine radar

A successful joint exercise carried out Friday, Feb. 10, demonstrated the interoperability of the US Aegis and Israel's Arrow 4 ballistic missile defense systems and, most importantly, of their two radars, the US AN/TPY-2 X-band and Israel's EL/M-2080 Super Green Pine, debkafile's military sources report.It was a key milestone in the development of the US missile shield's Middle East capabilities ahead of a potential war with Iran and the fourth significant preparatory step taken in the last ten days.On the East Coast of the United States, the large-scale Bold Alligator 2012 exercise is drilling amphibian landings on a fictitious Iranian shore; in the Middle East, an American airlift this week ferried reinforcements to the Persian Gulf over Sinai; the Iranian army is in the middle of a major war game under war conditions opposite the Strait of Hormuz; and Israel is putting the finishing touches to its new Depth Command set up for operations behind enemy lines.

The joint US-Israel radar exercise Friday was a target-only tracking test over the Mediterranean. An attack on Israel was simulated by a Rafael Blue Sparrow 2 target missile launched from an F-15 fighter jet coming in from the east – the presumed direction of Iranian and Syrian missile strikes. The incoming missile was detected and tracked by two US AN/TPY-2 X-band stations and Israel's Super Green Pine radar.
One of the American stations is located on Mount Keren opposite the Egyptian border in southern Israel; the other at a Turkish air base in the southeastern town of Kurecik.US and Israeli officials said the joint test was successful but offered no further information about the order in which the three stations sighted the attacking missile or how they shared the data.The successful collaboration of these systems has elevated the US missile shield to its operational phase.

debkafile's military and Washington sources report that the test went ahead after Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu arrived in Washington Thursday, Feb. 9 to discuss urgent international action for Syria and at the same time notified US officials that his government had withdrawn its objections to the Israel-based US x-band radar station taking part in a joint exercise against a potential Iranian or Syrian missile attack.This notification was awaited before the test went ahead. It gave the Turkish foreign minister a handle for promoting his mission to gain Obama administration assent to his government's initiative on Syria.Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan is pushing for joint Turkish-Arab military intervention to be launched against Bashar Assad's brutal crackdown under cover of a humanitarian operation. He offered to meet the Americans halfway on the radar station issue to win support for this anti-Assad intervention.Monday, Jan. 30, debkafile disclosed that a high-ranking US official had arrived in Israel to refute the Turkish claims that the US X-band radar station at Kurecik was Turkish-operated, not aimed against Iranian missiles and committed to withholding data from Israel.Before he left Israel, the US official put the record straight by stating: The radar is exclusively operated by US personnel, exactly as it is here. We will control the data and fuse it with data from other radars in the region to generate the most comprehensive and effective missile defense picture.This assurance was effectively demonstrated by the joint US-Israel detection and tracking test carried out Friday.

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.

Russia Says West is an Accomplice in Syria Violence-Russia accuses the West of being an accomplice to the violence in Syria, says the opposition responsible for ending the ongoing violence.By Elad Benari, Canada First Publish: 2/10/2012, 10:41 PM

Russia accused the West on Friday of being an accomplice to the violence in Syria, saying the country’s opposition bore full responsibility for ending the ongoing violence in the country.AFP quoted Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as having said that Syrian President Bashar Assad’s promise to stage a new constitutional referendum meant that it was now up to the armed resistance movement to take the next step.Ryabkov added that Russia was ready to follow its veto of a draft UN Security Council resolution on the crisis with additional strong measures should the West continue to refuse to acknowledge the opposition's role in the crisis.The Syrian leadership has assured us of its readiness to quickly hold a referendum on a new constitution and move toward elections, Ryabkov was quoted as having told the ITAR-TASS news agency.He added,This means that the opposition bears full responsibility for improving the situation and finding a way to stop the bloodshed.Ryabkov also said that Western states that push the Syrian opposition into uncompromising measures, which arm them and give them advice and instructions are accomplices in the process of inflaming the crisis.The responsibility rests with those who while holding the levers of influence over the opposition still fail to call it to order and demand that it accept the Syrian government's offers and begin real talks,he said.25 people were killed and 175 people were wounded in two blasts targeting security bases in Syria's northern city of Aleppo on Friday. Some children were also reported killed in the attack

UN Human Rights officials say at least 5,400 have been killed by Assad loyalists, but stopped counting in early January due to the instability and chaos on the country. Current estimates by human rights activists exceed 6,000 deaths.On Friday, it was reported that Assad sent his family members, as well as the children of key regime figures, out of the country in what is taken as a sign of his regime's acknowledgement of its increasing weakness.On Thursday, the Free Syria Army said that the Syrian military has moved forces stationed in the southern part of the Syrian Golan Heights closer to Israel.The Syrian military did not come close to the border with Israel. However, armored forces that were stationed along the Syria-Jordan border, which were recently reinforced, were moved and are now closer to Israel, according to the report.The Free Syria Army is the largest opposition group in Syria and is partly made up of defectors from the official Syrian Army.Israel has been concerned that Assad may try to defuse the uprising against him by starting a conflict with Israel.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

Iran to announce nuclear progress: Ahmadinejad ReutersBy Parisa Hafezi and Mitra Amiri | Reuters – FEB 11,12

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday that the Islamic Republic, targeted by tougher Western sanctions, would soon announce advances in its nuclear program.He was speaking on the 33rd anniversary of the Islamic revolution that toppled the U.S.-backed Shah. Tens of thousands of Iranians joined state-organized rallies to mark the occasion.In the coming days the world will witness Iran's announcement of its very important and very major nuclear achievements, Ahmadinejad told a crowd at Tehran's Azadi (Freedom) Square in a speech relayed live on state television.Demonstrators carrying Iranian flags and pictures of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei chanted Death to Israel and Death to America. Ismail Haniya, who heads the Islamist Hamas administration in the Gaza Strip, also attended the ceremony.Ahmadinejad gave no details of how Iran's nuclear work, which Tehran says has only peaceful purposes, has progressed.The United States and Israel, a country which Iran does not recognize, have not ruled out military action if sanctions fail.Iran has warned of a painful answer, saying it would hit Israel and U.S. bases in the Gulf as well as block the vital Gulf oil shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz.If attacked by the Zionist regime (Israel), we will turn it to dust,said a Revolutionary Guards commander, Mohammad Shirdel, semi-official Fars news agency reported Saturday.

Thousands of our missiles will target Israel and the 40 bases of America in the region,he added.The nuclear dispute has fuelled tension as the West tightens sanctions. The European Union has agreed to ban Iranian oil imports by July and to freeze the assets of Iran's central bank.Its measures reinforce those imposed by the United States as the West tries to force Tehran to return to talks before it produces enough nuclear material for an atomic bomb.Neither side has shown much appetite for compromise. Iran says it will fight EU sanctions with counter-measures and its parliament plans legislation to ban oil exports to the EU.Iranian officials brush off the impact of sanctions, while also proclaiming that Iranians will endure any hardship in support of their country's right to nuclear technology.I am saying openly that if you (the West) continue to use the language of force and threat, our nation will never succumb to your pressure,Ahmadinejad said.

IMPACT OF SANCTIONS

Industry analysts say sanctions are hitting Iran's vital oil sector and say falls in crude output and exports will speed up.Global oil flows are realigning even though the EU ban on imports from Iran only takes effect in July, the International Energy Agency said in its monthly Oil Market Report Friday.Asia's two giants, China and India, want to head off new sanctions on Iran. China, Iran's biggest trade partner, is one of six major powers involved in nuclear talks with Tehran.Ahmadinejad, echoing Iran's official stance, said fresh nuclear talks would be welcome. The last round collapsed a year ago over Iran's refusal to halt its uranium enrichment work.
They say we want to negotiate. That is fine with us, we have been always ready to hold talks in the framework of justice and mutual respect, Ahmadinejad said.The Iranian nation will not withdraw even one iota from its path.Western nations say talking is pointless unless uranium enrichment is on the table, something Iran refuses to discuss.Iran's economy is around 60 percent reliant on oil. The country is heavily dependent on food imports, buying 45 percent of its rice and most of its animal feed abroad.Sanctions-linked trade snags risk fuelling already high inflation, which Iranian critics blame on Ahmadinejad's economic policies. The official inflation rate exceeds 20 percent.But Ahmadinejad said the economy was flourishing, reeling off figures to back his contention. Critics have in the past accused the government of falsifying economic statistics.We have saved over $30 billion for rainy days,he said.Iran's non-oil exports will reach over $43 billion by March ... Iran's imports in the past 10 months dropped five percent.Following reforms under which the government phased out hefty subsidies on staples like food and fuel since 2010, Ahmadinejad said billions were saved by not importing petrol.

We were importers of fuel but ... now we are among main exporters of fuel and oil products,he said.Fresh U.S. and EU financial sanctions are snarling Iranian payments for staple food and other imports, causing hardship for its 74 million people weeks before a parliamentary election.The election will be Iran's first since a disputed presidential vote in 2009, which the opposition says was rigged to secure Ahmadinejad's re-election. That sparked eight months of street protests which the government forcibly suppressed.(Reporting by Parisa Hafezi; Editing by Alistair Lyon)

Turkish FM: Israeli Attack on Iran Will be a Disaster-Turkey’s Foreign Minister warns against attacking Iran, calls for diplomatic dialogue with the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program.By Elad Benari, Canada First Publish: 2/10/2012, 9:17 PM

Turkey’s Foreign Minister warned on Friday against attacking Iran and called for diplomatic dialogue with the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program.Speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities would lead to a disaster.Channel 2 News quoted Davutoglu as having urged Western countries to show flexibility toward Iran. He said he believed that political determination and mutual trust can resolve the dispute about within a few days.According to the report, Davutogly attempted to play down the extent of tension between Iran and the West, saying that it is based on essentially on differences of opinion of a technical nature that are not so significant.He added that eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat by military means would wreak disaster in our region. Before all this happens, there should be serious negotiations.Last week, a report on NBC revealed what an Israeli attack on Iran may look like. The report, which was based on conversations the American network held with current and former officials in Israel and the United States, suggested that an attack on Iran will combine air and ground faces but will not include naval forces.U.S. President Barack Obama, however, said this week he does not think Israel has decided whether to attack Iran over its disputed nuclear program. He added that Israel is rightfully worried about its security if Iran achieves nuclear capability.On Thursday, The New York Times reported that the Obama administration believes that it has convinced Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to hold off on a potential attack on Iran, and to give sanctions a chance.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

Syria: shelling in Homs as violence spreads
AFPAFP – FEB 11,12


Syria's protest centre of Homs came under renewed fire and a general was gunned down in Damascus on Saturday as the bloodshed showed no signs of abating, even spilling over into Lebanon.The Syrian National Council (SNC) said Arab recognition of the opposition umbrella group was imminent, ahead of key talks in the Egyptian capital on the crisis.In Aleppo, tensions escalated as President Bashar al-Assad's forces stepped up security after twin car bombs killed 28 people in Syria's second city on Friday, activists said.Another four civilians were killed by shelling and heavy machinegun fire in Baba Amr, the main centre of resistance in Homs, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.Government forces have been waging a withering assault on the central city that has killed more than 450 people in the past week, rights groups say.Two civilians died in the southern town of Daraa, cradle of the revolt, and another was killed in the Damascus district of Qabun, the Observatory said, adding three security force members died elsewhere.A general was gunned down outside his Damascus home, state media said. If confirmed, it would be one of the most brazen attacks on the top brass in the capital since the uprising erupted in March last year.An armed terrorist group this morning assassinated brigadier general and doctor, Issa al-Khawli, the director of Hamish hospital, outside his home in the district of Ruknaddin, the official SANA news agency said.In Lebanon, two people died and 18 were wounded in fierce clashes between Sunni Muslims hostile to Syria's regime and Alawites who support it, a security official said.A Sunni and an Alawite were killed and 18 people were wounded in clashes that continued since Friday between people from the neighbourhoods of Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tebbaneh,in the northern city of Tripoli, he told AFP.The two sides were firing guns and rocket-propelled grenades at each other in the bloodiest clashes since June, when six people were killed in the wake of demonstrations against Syria's government.

Sunni-majority Tripoli has in the past few years been the scene of intense clashes between Sunni supporters of the anti-Syrian opposition and Alawites loyal to a Hezbollah-led alliance backed by Iran and Syria.President Assad hails from the Alawite community, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.Syrian state media blamed terrorists for Friday's double car bomb attacks on security posts in Aleppo, which killed at least 28 people and wounded 235.The rebel Free Syrian Army accused the regime of launching the attacks in a bid to divert attention from its bloody nationwide crackdown.This criminal regime is... carrying out bomb attacks in Aleppo to steer attention away from what it is doing in Homs, Zabadani and elsewhere, rebel spokesman, Colonel Maher Nouaimi, told AFP.A report citing unnamed US officials said the bombings were likely to have been carried out by the Iraqi branch of Al-Qaeda, along with two other attacks on Damascus in December and January.The McClatchy Newspapers chain said the incidents appeared to verify Assad's charges of Al-Qaeda involvement in the uprising against his rule.On Saturday, snipers were deployed and at least three armoured vehicles seen entering Sakhur, an Aleppo neighbourhood with simmering dissent against Assad's regime, one activist said.Some residents who lost family members in the bombings were frustrated by the authorities' refusal to hand over their bodies for funerals, the activist, who gave his name only as Mohammed, told AFP by telephone from Aleppo.There is a heavy deployment of the security forces in areas of Aleppo that have seen a lot of demonstrations, said the Observatory's Rami Abdel Rahman, adding the regime was trying to stir tensions between loyalists and dissidents.

Aleppo, a commercial hub, has been largely spared the violence that rights groups say has killed more than 6,000 people in Syria since it broke out.In Doha, the SNC's Ahmed Ramadan said the group has confirmations of an Arab recognition that will soon take place, though not necessarily on Sunday, when the Arab League holds a ministerial meeting on Syria.Turkey said, meanwhile, that it plans to lodge a formal request to the UN for an aid operation to help Syrians suffering a humanitarian tragedy in their country.

Kroes threatens nuclear option against Hungary
09.02.12 @ 19:55 By Nikolaj Nielsen


BRUSSELS - The European Commission has indicated it is ready to use its nuclear option - Article 7 on political sanctions - against Hungary if it continues to flout EU law.In a testy exchange of views between EU digital agenda commissioner Neelie Kroes and Hungary's deputy prime minister Tibor Navracsics at a European Parliament committee hearing in Brussels on Thursday (9 February), Kroes said she would ask the commission to take appropriate action if needed.Her spokesperson later confirmed to this website that she means Article 7.The EU Treaty clause says the commission can trigger a procedure to determine if an EU country is in serious and persistent breach of treaty principles.If found guilty, the other EU member states cans suspend its voting rights in the EU Council.The Kroes-Navracsics dispute concerns a set of new media laws in Hungary which appear to threaten media diversity.The commission in January already started a separate legal procedure against Budapest in January over its new constitution, said to undermine the independence of judges and the central bank.

Kroes told Navracsics she expects him to ask the Strasbourg-based Council of Europe for an opinion on the media laws and to implement its recommendations.With the Strasbourg council already due to publish opinions on the Hungarian constitution in March, Navracsic replied - to a round of laughs - Only if these proposals do not run counter to the constitution of the Hungarian aquis.That is different from what you were answering in my office, Kroes said.I beg your pardon, no madame, it's exactly the same thing, Navracsics hit back.Kroes' remark on approporiate action was the last thing she said before the panel discussion ended. She left the room abruptly, without stopping to say goodbye or other pleasantries.The Council of Europe's spokesman late told this website: Hungary has yet to request an opinion from us on media.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

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

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

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

The United Nations Wants To Crash The World Economy In Order To Save The Environment

The United Nations says that the earth is in great danger and that the way you and I are living is the problem. In a shocking new report entitled, Resilient People, Resilient Planet: A Future Worth Choosing" the UN declares that the entire way that we currently approach economics needs to be changed. Instead of focusing on things like economic growth, the UN is encouraging nations all over the world to start basing measurements of economic success on the goal of achieving sustainable development. But there is a huge problem with that. The UN says that what we are doing right now is unsustainable by definition, and the major industrialized nations of the western world are the biggest culprits. According to the UN, since we are the ones that create the most carbon emissions and the most pollution, we are the ones that should make the biggest sacrifices. In addition, since we have the most money, we should also be willing to finance the transition of the developing world to a sustainable development economy as well. As you will see detailed in the rest of this article, the United Nations basically wants to crash the world economy in order to save the environment. Considering the fact that the U.S. and Europe are in the midst of a horrible economic crisis and are already drowning in debt, this is something that we simply cannot afford.There is certainly nothing wrong with taking care of the environment. But what the United Nations wants is a fundamental restructuring of the global economy based on flawed science.

In this new UN report, we find the following statement....Achieving sustainability requires us to transform the global economy. Tinkering on the margins will not do the job.This is absolutely crucial to understand.The folks over at the UN don't just want to change things a little.Their goal is a radical transformation of the entire world.According to the United Nations, if we don't implement their recommendations the consequences will be absolutely disastrous....But what, then, is to be done if we are to make a real difference for the world’s people and the planet? We must grasp the dimensions of the challenge. We must recognize that the drivers of that challenge include unsustainable lifestyles, production and consumption patterns and the impact of population growth. As the global population grows from 7 billion to almost 9 billion by 2040, and the number of middle-class consumers increases by 3 billion over the next 20 years, the demand for resources will rise exponentially. By 2030, the world will need at least 50 percent more food, 45 percent more energy and 30 percent more water — all at a time when environmental boundaries are throwing up new limits to supply. This is true not least for climate change, which affects all aspects of human and planetary health.So what changes are needed in order for us to achieve a sustainable global economy? Well, the following are some of the disturbing recommendations that we find in the new UN report....

Raise Prices

According to the United Nations, we need to start significantly raising the prices of things that are made in an unsustainable way so that they reflect the true cost of their production....Most goods and services sold today fail to bear the full environmental and social cost of production and consumption. Based on the science, we need to reach consensus, over time, on methodologies to price them properly.

Costing environmental externalities could open new opportunities for green growth and green jobs

That means that you and I would start paying a lot more for the basic things that we need every day - food, gasoline, etc.

Carbon Taxes

The UN report also discusses the need to use regulations and taxation as tools to penalize economic activities that are not sustainable....Establish natural resource and externality pricing instruments, including carbon pricing, through mechanisms such as taxation, regulation or emissions trading systems, by 2020

This is one of the favorite things that social engineers like to do. They love to use taxation and regulations as weapons to get people to do the things they want.

Base Lending Decisions On Sustainable Development Criteria

The United Nations is actually suggesting that lending decisions be based on whether or not the money will be used for something sustainable....Reform national fiscal and credit systems to provide long-term incentives for sustainable practices, as well as disincentives for unsustainable behaviour

Considering the fact that the entire global economy is based on credit, this is a very dangerous recommendation.

Green Jobs

The UN report also says that governments all over the world should seek to create as many green jobs as possible....Governments should adopt and advance green jobs and decent work policies as a priority in their budgets and sustainable development strategies while creating conditions for new jobs in the private sector.This is something that we have seen Barack Obama try to do, but obviously he has not had much success at it.

A New Economic Paradigm

According to the UN, the very way that we define economic success needs to be changed. Instead of looking at statistics such as GDP and inflation, we should be measuring what we do by how much it gets us closer to a sustainable world....Expanding how we measure progress in sustainable development by creating a sustainable development index or set of indicators

So an economic collapse could actually be good if we make progress toward the goal of sustainable development.Wealthy Countries Funding The Sustainable Development Goals Of Poor Countries.The UN report makes it clear that you and I will be paying for sustainable development all over the world in addition to paying for our own transition to a sustainable economy....Financing sustainable development requires vast new sources of capital from both private and public sources. It requires both mobilizing more public funds and using global and national capital to leverage global private capital through the development of incentives. Official development assistance will also remain critical for the sustainable development needs of low-income countries.But considering the fact that the United States is already flat broke, where are we going to come up with all of this money?

Teach Sustainable Development To Our Children

The United Nations also believes that this philosophy of sustainable development should be taught to children in public schools all over the globe....Government and non-governmental entities should promote the concept of sustainable development and sustainable consumption, and these should be integrated into curricula of primary and secondary education.Sadly, this agenda is already being pushed on our children in schools all over the United States. When these children grow up, the concepts behind sustainable development will be second nature for them.

Population Control

Those that believe in sustainable development want to reduce carbon emissions by as much as possible.When you sit down and really think about that, it becomes quite frightening.Nearly every form of economic activity produces carbon emissions.In fact, if you just sit in your home and breathe, you are producing carbon emissions.
So to them, you and I are the problem.For those that are worried about man-made global warming, the math is simple.The more people on earth, the higher the level of carbon emissions will be.The less people on earth, the lower the level of carbon emissions will be.So those that believe in sustainable development love to promote things that will reduce the human population of the earth.In fact, we see this agenda reflected in one of the recommendations of the new UN report....Ensuring universal access to quality and affordable family-planning and other sexual and reproductive rights and health services.If more women have access to abortion facilities, then less babies will be born. For those that believe in sustainable development, that is a good thing.But the UN has been pushing this kind of agenda for a long time.For example, the United Nations Population Fund released a report back in 2009 entitled Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate that included the following very chilling statement....Each birth results not only in the emissions attributable to that person in his or her lifetime, but also the emissions of all his or her descendants. Hence, the emissions savings from intended or planned births multiply with time.

This population control agenda is also being heavily promoted by many of the wealthiest people in the world. Many big philanthropists such as Bill Gates are using their money to fund research into population control measures. For example, Gates is currently funding research on cutting edge forms of birth control that could potentially be used all over the world. The following comes from a recent Natural News article....Mass vaccination is apparently not the only depopulation strategy being employed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as new research funded by the organization has developed a way to deliberately destroy sperm using ultrasound technology. BBC News reports that the Gates Foundation awarded a grant to researchers from the University of North Carolina (UNC) to develop this new method of contraception.For their study, the UNC team tested ultrasound on lab rats and found that two 15-minute doses significantly reduced both sperm counts and sperm integrity. When administered two days apart through warm salt water, ultrasound caused the rats' sperm counts to drop below ten million sperm per milliliter, which is five million less than the sub-fertile range, and stay that way for up to six months.This population control agenda is one of the most frightening elements of sustainable development. Many advocates of sustainable development would actually cheer if something suddenly caused the population of the earth to drop dramatically.

Much Stronger Global Governance

The new UN report also advocates stronger international governance by bodies such as the United Nations....International institutions have a critical role. International governance for sustainable development must be strengthened by using existing institutions more dynamically and by considering the creation of a global sustainable development council and the adoption of sustainable development goals
But this has been the ultimate goal of these control freaks for a long time. The idea is that a global government and a global economy will bring a great era of peace and prosperity to all of humanity.Of course that is a complete and total lie, but there are a lot of people out there that actually believe this stuff.In fact, the economic crisis that we are going through right now has renewed calls for a global currency which would be used by the whole world.For example, you can watch banker Evelyn de Rothschild discuss the need for an international currency on Bloomberg Television in the following video....

The new UN report reflects this globalist agenda. The report states that the peoples of the world are not going to put up with all of this inequality any longer and that they will be demanding that their national governments adopt a sustainable development agenda....The peoples of the world will simply not tolerate continued environmental devastation or the persistent inequality which offends deeply held universal principles of social justice. Citizens will no longer accept governments and corporations breaching their compact with them as custodians of a sustainable future for all. More generally, international, national and local governance across the world must fully embrace the requirements of a sustainable development future, as must civil society and the private sector.If you want to get a really good idea of what a sustainable development society would look like, just check out the video posted below....If you do not want to end up living in a Planned-opolis where virtually everything you do is watched, tracked and controlled by bureaucratic control freaks, then you better say something now.If the United Nations actually succeeded in implementing this agenda worldwide, it would crash the global economy and it would be the end of national sovereignty.Unfortunately, many of those that are promoting this agenda are absolute fanatics about it because they are convinced that they are saving the planet. They are so obsessed with rescuing the earth that they would do almost anything to all the rest of us in order to accomplish that goal.
Yes, we need to be concerned about the future of the planet, but the truth is that the sustainable development agenda is based on flawed science and it would make our economic problems far worse.But the control freaks that are obsessed with sustainable development are going to continue to try to cram this agenda down our throats, so this is a battle that is likely to go on for many years.

The State Has Declared War On The American People-U.S. citizens are now the primary target of the war on terror Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Friday, February 10, 2012
http://www.prisonplanet.com/the-state-has-declared-war-on-the-american-people.html

With the announcement that 30,000 drones are expected to fill American skies within ten years, the U.S. government has officially declared war on the American people, turning to technology normally used to hunt down insurgents abroad as the whole arsenal of the war on terror is re-focused domestically.

The State Has Declared War On The American People 19271

The Federation Aviation Administration said up to 30,000 drones could be in airspace shared with airliners carrying passengers, reports UPI.Once signed by president Obama, the FAA Reauthorization Act allows for the FAA to permit the use of drones and develop regulations for testing and licensing by 2015.Some types of surveillance drones are already being used by police departments across the country, including in Montgomery County, Texas, where the Department of Homeland Security recently gave the go-ahead for law enforcement in the United States to deploy the ShadowHawk mini drone drone helicopter that has the ability to taze suspects from above as well as carrying 12-gauge shotguns and grenade launchers.US law enforcement bodies are already using drone technology to spy on Americans. In December, a Predator B drone was called in to conduct surveillance over a family farm in North Dakota as part of a SWAT raid on the Brossart family, who were suspects in the egregious crime of stealing six missing cows. Local police in this one area have already used the drone on two dozen occasions since June last year.The DHS also recently announced a plan to spend up to $50 million dollars on a spy system that has been used to hunt insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan for the purposes of emergency and non-emergency incidents within the United States.While preparing the use of surveillance drones against Americans, the U.S. government is also keen to characterize a myriad of behaviors and activities, no matter how normal or mundane, as potential indicators of terrorism, encouraging citizens to spy on each other in a chilling throwback to how people were hired as informants under the East German Stasi.

As part of its Communities Against Terrorism program, the FBI is encouraging business owners from across the spectrum to spy on their customers.Lists of examples of suspicious behavior being sent out to everything from Internet Cafes to tattoo parlors define things like paying for a cup of coffee with cash, buying food in bulk, and showing an interest in online privacy as evidence of potential terrorist activity.The DHS has also released numerous PSAs that depict routine activities as potential signs of terrorism, including using a video camera, talking to police officers, wearing hoodies, driving vans, writing on a piece of paper, and using a cell phone recording application.The federal agency attracted much derision last week when it announced that Super Bowl vendors, including hot dog sellers, had been trained to spot terrorists under the First Observer program.Even more chilling, the feds have also begun to characterize perfectly legitimate political and economic beliefs as those held by terrorists, effectively denouncing them as thought crimes.

As Reuters reported on Monday, authorities are now treating those who believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard as extremists who are a potential violent threat to law enforcement. The DHS has also previously characterized returning veterans, Ron Paul supporters, gold investors, and people who display political bumper stickers as potential domestic terrorists.All this serves to underscore the fact that the American people have now been targeted as the number one terror threat in the eyes of the authorities. The state has declared war on U.S. citizens. Not only will they be subject to surveillance and intimidation campaigns, but with the recent passage of the indefinite detention provision of the NDAA, the government has afforded itself the power to hold Americans without trial.

Leftist Media Resorts To Conspiracy Theories To Sell Syria Invasion-Despite Arab League confirming opposition rebels are committing violence, Guardian blames Assad for terror attack Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Friday, February 10, 2012

Desperate to sell another humanitarian invasion, the leftist media in the United Kingdom has resorted to inventing conspiracy theories about events in Syria as part of a campaign to depict President Bashar Assad’s government as genocidal, while completely failing to acknowledge that the country is in a state of civil war.
Leftist Media Resorts To Conspiracy Theories To Sell Syria Invasion Syrian rebels 005

While the likes of the Guardian and other establishment leftist newspapers in Britain routinely savage anyone who dares to commit the thought crime of questioning the official story behind the 9/11 attacks or the London bombings, apparently it’s perfectly reasonable to continually imply that the wave of bombings and attacks targeting President Bashar Assad’s forces are false flags committed by the regime itself.The UK Guardian, which has completely prostrated itself as a 24-hour rolling mouthpiece for opposition fighters it habitually describes as activists, is at it again today, reacting to news that explosions have killed 17 people in an attack carried out by opposition rebels which targeted Syrian military and security buildings in the northern city of Aleppo, by insinuating the Syrian government bombed its own facility.They did the same thing when were 30 people killed by opposition rebels following two terrorist attacks in Damascus back in December.The newspaper’s live coverage of events is little more than a platform for dubious tweets sent out by anyone with a Twitter account claiming to be a Syrian activist, almost all of which claim with no evidence that Assad is killing his own forces to blame it on the opposition.Blow up people then broadcast the gory aftermath on morning TV. What an utterly disgusting regime, reads one tweet featured by the Guardian.Two explosions rock Aleppo, obviously another Regime charade on the bodies of innocent civilians and some of its cronies,writes another.

These baseless accusations could be coming from anywhere, whether they be from real Syrian activists or from within the halls of Britain’s Foreign Office. The Guardian simply regurgitates them alongside an editorial tone that affords the claims total credence, ignoring the independent observers from the Arab League who confirmed in their report that opposition fighters were using indiscriminate violence against government forces.The plausibility of terrorists targeting the Syrian regime is perfectly viable given the fact that hundreds of Libyan rebels, commanded by Abdulhakim Belhadj, a committed jihadist who fought with the Taliban against U.S. troops in Afghanistan, were airlifted into Syria last November to aid the opposition in carrying out attacks against government forces.British Special Forces are now also on the ground advising rebels. Why would Special Forces who are trained to kill be advising activists,as the Guardian describes them? The Guardian was even called out by one of its own readers, who pointed out that the fighting is actually a two-sided affair, rendering claims that Assad is engaging in genocide totally inaccurate.The definition of genocide is: the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group. Your writers, and the writers of many other publications, use it incorrectly all too often. What is happening in Syria is tragic, certainly could be called a crime against humanity, etc, but it is not genocide. It is civil war. Misusing genocide as frequently and mainstream journalists seem to love to do is inappropriate, unprofessional, and immoral in the sense that it is crying wolf and diminishing the severity of the word and the magnitude of the times genocide has actually occurred, commented the reader.

No one denies that Assad’s forces are killing opposition fighters, what do you expect when NATO powers have flown in the same terrorists who helped them overthrow Gaddafi to aid Syrian rebels? But to portray the rebels as activists who are the victims of bloodthirsty repression, even as they carry out terror attacks killing innocent people and Syrian government personnel, is wholly dishonest.Don’t forget that these are the same media outlets who for weeks persisted in describing Libyan rebel fighters who were armed with RPGs and were commandeering fighter jets as demonstrators,urging the UN to impose a no fly zone which quickly turned into a bombardment.The humanitarian attack on Libya so yearned for by liberal interventionists, with NATO powers again throwing their weight behind Al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists who had killed US and British troops in Iraq, has produced a country run by mobs of thugs who hunt, torture and kill dissenters, notably black Libyans who have been rounded up and incarcerated in detention camps.Thanks in part to leftist cheerleaders of humanitarian war like the Guardian, the Al-Qaeda flag now flies proudly over Libya.The Guardian is not alone in its efforts to portray Syrian rebel fighters as peace-loving angels while denouncing Assad’s government as an army of genocidal maniacs. The London Independent has got in on the act too, claiming that Syrian President Assad’s security forces have indiscriminately killed scores of newborn babies in Homs this week,writes Patrick Henningsen.The claim, which evokes memories of the notorious Saddam Hussein incubator babies hoax, has absolutely no foundation in evidence and comes directly from inside Britain’s Foreign Office.

Despite there being no media access inside Syria whatsoever, the international corporate press has simply relayed propaganda from activists,who are regurgitating talking points handed to them by Britain and the US, while completely ignoring the Arab League’s report which affirmed that the media has greatly exaggerated the amount of violence taking place in Syria.

Tensions flare in Athens ahead of austerity vote
Today FEB 10,12 @ 18:06 By Valentina Pop


BRUSSELS - Anti-austerity protesters threw rocks and petrol bombs at police on Friday (10 february) in Syntagma Square outside parliament, wher MPs will on Sunday vote on new cuts.The violence came after Greece's major trade unions launched a 48-hour general strike against the bill and some 10,000 unionists took the streets in mostly peaceful rallies.The unions labelled the cuts - worth €3.2 billion - the tombstone of Greek society.The police trade union in a letter adressed to EU institutions and seen by Reuters even threatened to arrest European Commission and International Monetary Fund (IMF) officials in Greece for blackmail, covertly abolishing or eroding democracy and national sovereignty.Meanwhile, the right-wing Laos party quit the government coalition and said it will vote against the plan. One minister from the Socialist Pasok party also resigned in protest over the cuts, along with three Laos ministers.Laos was mostly to blame for dragging out talks on the asuterity package for several weeks in a high-stakes confrontation which could see the country fail to secure a new €130 billion EU-IMF bail-out and default on its sovereign debt.Prime Minister Lucas Papademos still has a majority in the parliament.

But one of the bail-out conditions imposed by eurozone finance ministers on Thursday in Brussels was that all the main parties - including Laos - will have to sign a pledge that to respect the latest austerity measures after elections in April.Laos leader Georgios Karatzaferis told press in Athens: I am very disturbed not from the sacrifices we have to make, but from the humiliation of Greece. They have stolen our dignity.He added that Greece should remain in the euro, but not under a German boot.
Meanwhile, fresh statistics from the Greek finance ministry shows that the government has managed to collect only one percent of the €8.6 billion in tax penalties issued over the last two years.According to the Ekathimerini newspaper, had the government succeeded in collecting a third of the fines, the new austerity package would not have been needed.An EU commission spokesman on Friday said the increased presence of EU and national experts which is to form part of the new bail-out deal will help the government to collect taxes.They will be supporting and training, but the executive task, the political responsibility remains in the hands of the Greek government,Amadeu Altafaj Tardio said.

Russian Communist Party Stresses Support to Syria, Condemns the US and its Allies' Instigation to Escalate Tension in Syria Feb 10, 2012

MOSCOW, (SANA) – The Russian Communist Party stressed its support to Syria, condemning the acts committed by the USA and its allies in instigating and escalating tension in Syria.Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russia, Gennady Zyuganov, said that the events taking place in Syria and the neighboring areas provide clear evidence on the Western Countries' ambitions to subjugate other people and countries to serve their political and economic interests.

In a statement issued on Friday of which SANA got a copy, he added that the policy of imperialist countries claimed the lives of tens of thousands of victims in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya and now it is Syria's turn.Zyuganov said that the gunmen are committing violence acts and killing innocent people , supported by the neighboring countries and the US and its allies in line with the Arab countries' role in undermining the legitimate authority in Syria.Syria carries out an independent internal and external policy and has always supported the Palestinian people, not to mention, its continuous efforts to achieve just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East, he added.Zyuganov indicated that there are evidence on the direct involvement of Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar in Syria's internal affairs, adding that these countries complained of Syria as a secular state.He said the flagrant support by the US and its allies to the gunmen and extremists and the calls for toppling the legitimate power in Syria hindered positive development of the situation in Syria.Zyuganov expressed support to the measures taken by the Syrian leadership to reach peace and stability through dialogue and to the Syrian people who have the right to self-determination.He firmly called for a halt of all aggressive acts by the Western countries and their interference in Syria's internal affairs.The statement underlined the Syrian leadership's confirmations on its readiness to implement political and economic reforms to achieve democracy, indicating that date will be announced for a referendum on a new constitution will be held soon.He added that the opposition rejected all proposals submitted by the Syrian leadership to achieve peace and stability in the country.R.

Report: Syrian Armored Forces Move Nearer to Israel-The Syrian Army moved forces stationed in the Golan Heights and they are now closer to Israel, according to Free Syria Army.By Gil Ronen First Publish: 2/9/2012, 8:55 PM

According to reports from the Free Syria Army, the Syrian military has moved forces stationed in the southern part of the Syrian Golan Heights closer to Israel.The Syrian military did not come close to the border with Israel. However, armored forces that were stationed along the Syria-Jordan border, which were recently reinforced, were moved and are now closer to Israel, according to the report.The Free Syria Army is the largest opposition group in Syria and is partly made up of defectors from the official Syrian Army.Israel has been concerned that Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad, whose regime is on the verge of collapse, may try to defuse the uprising against him by starting a conflict with Israel.A Lebanese newspaper, The People's Army, claimed Thursday in its news website that the IDF has been making an extra effort in the past few days to place landmines all along its border with Syria.Hundreds of Israeli soldiers are reportedly working at lining the border with mines. Israel had already placed mines along some stretches of the border with Syria after the Nakba Day events last year, in which hundreds of Syrians broke into Israel virtually unimpeded. The action had been orchestrated by the Syrian government, later reports showed.

Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan to Meet to Discuss Post-American Era-The scheduled tripartite meeting between Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran highlights the decline in US prestige.By Amiel Ungar First Publish: 2/10/2012, 2:49 PM

At a time that the United States is trying to squeeze Iran and isolate her, Pakistan is doing the opposite. Pakistan has invited Iran and Afghanistan to a trilateral meeting on February 16 to discuss the situation after the departure of United States and NATO forces from Afghanistan. The Pakistani commentators are being smug, now that the United States is winding up its war on terror.Pakistan is bent on counting Iran for two reasons: The first is energy. The Iranians are offering a gas pipeline to Pakistan and Afghanistan to fuel their industrialization and are also offering oil to Pakistan at a cut rate, with deferred payments.In terms of clients, the trio makes sense: Pakistan has maintained ties with the overwhelmingly Pashtun Taliban, while Iran, which borders Afghanistan. is the mentor of the non Pashtun minorities.

Pakistan. possibly facing an imminent election, has announced that it will not succumb to American pressure and is ready to implement the pipeline deal as soon as possible according to President Asif Ali Zardari.Pakistan is holding a parliamentary review of relations with the United States and it is currently politically popular to bash the Americans, while touting China as a superior alternative (although China is leery about Muslim extremists operating out of Pakistan).Pakistan is attempting to wean Afghan President Hamid Karzai away from the Americans and - more importantly - from India.The State Department considers the pipeline a bad idea and is trying to offer alternatives. The Pakistanis are not in a listening mode as they accuse the United States of trying to establish India as a surrogate in Afghanistan.The current mood in the Obama administration, however, is to mend fences with the Pakistanis. Relations with the all powerful Inter-Services Intelligence of the Pakistani army have improved, after that agency was suspected of shielding Osama bin Laden. General James Mattis of Central Command will be offering an apology for the deadly American airstrike on the Afghan border that killed Pakistani troops.The Americans, aside from aid to Pakistan, have little leverage now that they are going. The people who are going to pay the price are those Afghans who placed their trust in the Americans. As Amrullah Saleh, an opposition leader, wrote in the Wall Street JournalWashington's olive branch to the Taliban—no matter the excuses or justifications—amounts to the management of failure, not the mark of victory. Negotiating with the Taliban, after more than 10 years of fighting, means giving legitimacy and space to militant extremism:

DANIEL 11:40-45
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south( EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR IN ISRAEL) and the king of the north (RUSSIA AND MUSLIM HORDES OF EZEK 38+39) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

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

Lieberman: We're Prepared to Deal with Hizbullah-Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman to ambassadors: We hope Hizbullah doesn't attack Israel, but if they do we'll be prepared.By Elad Benari First Publish: 2/10/2012, 5:12 AM

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Thursday warned against some of recent statements coming from Lebanon.In the past few days it has been hinted that the Lebanon-based Hizbullah terror group may create a provocation against Israel in order to divert attention from what is happening in Syria, where President Bashar Assad continues the lethal crackdown on protesters.Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned on Thursday that sophisticated weapons could be transferred from Syria to Lebanon and to Hizbullah should Assad fall.Israeli officials have expressed concern in the past that Assad's fall would have regional consequences that could affect Israel. These include a possibility that Israel's north could be inundated with Syrian refugees, or that Assad might attack the Jewish state to shift attention from his regime.

Officials have also warned that Syria’s weapons, including alleged chemical and biological ones, could fall into the hands of terrorists, including Hizbullah, which fought a war with Israel in 2006.Lieberman, who met in New York on Thursday with the ambassadors of member states of the UN Security Council, said, We hope it will not happen but Israel will be prepared for this possibility as well.The foreign minister, who spoke with the ambassadors about the Security Council’s relations with Israel and about the situation in the Middle East, also addressed the reconciliation agreement recently signed between Hamas and Fatah.We will not accept a Palestinian government in which Hamas is a partner without Hamas changing its position and as long as it does not recognize Israel’s right to exist and accepts the Quartet’s conditions,said Lieberman.He added that the agreement signed in Doha does not contribute to advancing the negotiations with the Palestinian Authority and said it is based solely on the personal interests of PA Chairman Mahoud Abbas and Hamas’ politburo chief Khaled Mashaal.The agreement signed between Hamas and Fatah calls for Abbas to head an interim government, which will be made up of independent technocrats.The new PA interim government is to be presented on February 18 in Cairo.
Lieberman also addressed the Iranian nuclear threat and said that the Iranian regime is the greatest threat to world peace.We hope that the latest sanctions will cause the Iranian regime to give up its nuclear program, but if not, Israel is leaving all options open,he said.He also said he expects the Security Council to deal with the repeated statements of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who have repeatedly called to wipe Israel off the map.

24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

Op-Ed: Without Changing UNRWA, There Can Be No Peace Published: Thursday, February 09, 2012 10:56 AM The writer was an observer at a Bar Ilan conference on UNRWA, Panelists warned that UNRWA is a grave threat to resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

At a meeting of over 40 diplomats and ambassadors held at Bar Ilan University last week, devoted to a discussion of UNRWA, Refugees and the Peace Process, three panelists, all supporters of the Two-State Solution focused on the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) as a major obstacle to any resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict.Without changing UNRWA, MK Einat Wilf (Azmaut) warned, the two-state solution and the peace process was in danger. Wilf unveiled a plan to restructure the controversial UN organization which has been caring for Arab Palestinian refugees and their descendants exclusively for over 60 years.Wilf announced a scoop, that she will propose Knesset action to urge ending support for UNRWA and shifting the billion-dollar organization from its support for the Palestinian right of return to specific projects that met needs,schools, hospitals and welfare, encouraged integration and worked towards resettlement.We need to delink UNRWA’s funding from (refugee) status to direct need, she said.People should be given help because they are in need, not because they are, or were refugees.One of Wilf’s suggestions is to redirect funding from UNRWA to the PA, in Judea and Samaria and Hamas in Gaza, as parts of a future Palestinian state. It’s their responsibility,she said.

Moreover, she proposed a drastic reduction in the numbers of those considered as refugees – about 15,000 in Gaza and 30,000 in Judea and Samaria , instead of the five million which UNRWA claims it supports.Not only is UNRWA undermining any possibility of peace, Wilf asserted, it is a self-perpetuating organization which lobbies for funding. Wilf also suggested that Arab refugees living in Arab countries and PA/Hamas administered areas should be handled by UNHCR.The panel included Prof Yaffa Zilbershats, Deputy President of BIU and legal expert who refuted the legal claim that Palestinians have the right of return.There is no right, Zilbershats asserted, referring to UNGA Resolutions 181 and 194, but rather recommendations, which have never been implemented as a whole, and include compensation and resettlement as options. There is no reference in any of these resolutions to the descendants of refugees, she noted. A supporter of the two-state solution, she warned that UNRWA’s perpetuation of the notion that millions of hostile Arabs, nearly all of whom are not refugees and have never lived in Israel, would be allowed to return to Israel prevented any progress towards peace.Prof Gerald Steinberg, moderator of the Forum, founder of the BIU Program on Conflict Management and Negotiation and member of the Begin-Sadat (BESA) Center for Strategic Studies emphasized that more than 700,000 Jews were expelled from Arab countries as a result of the Arab-Israel war in 1948 and were fully integrated into Israel, and other countries without compensation for their losses.

Roi Kedar, CEO of the Reut Institute, noted that UNRWA helped perpetuate the notion of victimization and prevented any progress towards two states for two people. He suggested constructive unilateralism, in which the Palestinian refugee issue would be diluted rather than resolved. Funds would be transferred from UNRWA to Arab states, including a Palestinian state, which would offer full citizenship, a suggestion, however, that has been rejected by all Arab leaders.The elephant in the room: UNRWA was created by the UN General Assembly and no changes are possible without UNGA approval -- unlikely since the UNGA is dominated by the bloc of Islamic nations. More problematic, UNRWA’s largest backers, the EU and US, remain committed to supporting UNRWA and have not been asked by any government – especially not Israel-- to change their policy.Regarding the possibility of changing UNRWA, a EU spokesperson said: Nothing is happening and no one is thinking about it.Reaching out to the diplomatic community may be the beginning of a new direction. It’s doubtful if this will be successful without clear, official government support – which it currently lacks.
