1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Israel raids south Gaza after rocket attacks
AFPAFP – FEB 26,12
Israeli warplanes early Sunday carried out an attack on the south of the Gaza Strip after rockets were fired at Israel, according to the army.During the night an Israeli plane hit an arms factory and a smuggling tunnel in the south of the Gaza Strip, the army said in a statement, adding: This raid is in response to the rockets fired at Israel this weekend.Two explosions were heard around Rafah but nobody was injured, Palestinian witnesses said.Three rockets fired from the Gaza Strip had slammed into southern Israel on Saturday without causing casualties or damage, a police spokesman said.Since the beginning of the year, Palestinian militants in Hamas-controlled Gaza have fired more than 50 rockets at southern Israel, army statistics show.Hamas has maintained a tacit truce with Israel, but other armed groups regularly fire rockets across the border, usually sparking air strikes in response.

Seven U.S. soldiers wounded after Afghan NATO base attacked ReutersBy Fraidoon Elhaam and Hamid Shalizi | Reuters – FEB 26,12
KUNDUZ/KABUL, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Seven U.S. military trainers were wounded on Sunday when a grenade was thrown at their base in northern Afghanistan, police said, as anti-Western fury deepened over the burning of the Koran at a NATO base.Despite an apology from U.S. President Barack Obama, riots raged across the country for a sixth day on Sunday against the desecration of the Muslim holy book at a NATO air base at Bagram. Some protesters hoisted the white Taliban flag.The Afghan Interior Ministry identified one of its employees as a suspect in the fatal shooting of two U.S. officers in its headquarters a day earlier, an attack that prompted NATO to recall its staff from ministries.One civilian was killed, 15 more were wounded and three policemen injured in riots near the NATO base in northern Kunduz province, where the blast that wounded the Americans took place, regional police chief Samihullah Qatra told reporters.NATO confirmed there had been an explosion outside one of its bases in northern Afghanistan, but declined to comment on casualties.
The protests have killed 30 people and wounded 200, including two other U.S. troops who were shot dead by an Afghan soldier who joined rallies in the country's east.
The Koran burnings could make it far harder for NATO forces to win the trust of the Afghan public as they try to stabilise the country ahead of the withdrawal of foreign combat troops at the end of 2014.Afghan security sources identified Abdul Saboor, a 25-year-old police intelligence officer, as a suspect in the shooting of the Americans at close range inside the Interior Ministry.In a statement to media, the ministry said: An employee has been identified as a suspect and he has now fled. The Interior Ministry is trying to arrest the suspected individual.NATO is supposed to be moving away from a combat role to an advise-and-assist mission as early as next year. That will require NATO to place more staff in Kabul's ministries.CCTV footage showed that Saboor had access to the Command and Control Centre, tucked deep inside the ministry, where the slain Americans were found, security officials told Reuters on condition of anonymity.The Taliban took responsibility for the attack, saying it was in retaliation for the burning of the Korans.Afghan President Hamid Karzai repeated his plea for calm and restraint.It is time to regain and preserve our calm, and not allow our enemies to misuse it, he told reporters, referring to the nationwide violence.
Penn Judge: Muslims Allowed to Attack People for Insulting Mohammad Yahoo! Contributor Network By Mark Whittington | Yahoo! Contributor Network – Fri, Feb 24, 2012
COMMENTARY | Jonathon Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, reports on a disturbing case in which a state judge in Pennsylvania threw out an assault case involving a Muslim attacking an atheist for insulting the Prophet Muhammad.Judge Mark Martin, an Iraq war veteran and a convert to Islam, threw the case out in what appears to be an invocation of Sharia law.The incident occurred at the Mechanicsburg, Pa., Halloween parade where Ernie Perce, an atheist activist, marched as a zombie Muhammad. Talaag Elbayomy, a Muslim, attacked Perce, and he was arrested by police.Judge Martin threw the case out on the grounds that Elbayomy was obligated to attack Perce because of his culture and religion. Judge Martin stated that the First Amendment of the Constitution does not permit people to provoke other people. He also called Perce, the plaintiff in the case, a doofus. In effect, Perce was the perpetrator of the assault, in Judge Martin's view, and Elbayomy the innocent. The Sharia law that the Muslim attacker followed trumped the First Amendment.Words almost fail.The Washington Post recently reported on an appeals court decision to maintain an injunction to stop the implementation of an amendment to the Oklahoma state constitution that bans the use of Sharia law in state courts. The excuse the court gave was that there was no documented case of Sharia law being invoked in an American court. Judge Martin would seem to have provided that example, which should provide fodder for the argument as the case goes through the federal courts.
The text of the First Amendment could not be clearer. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof- It does not say unless somebody, especially a Muslim, is angered. Indeed Judge Martin specifically decided to respect the establishment of a religion, in this case Islam.That Judge Martin should be removed from the bench and severely sanctioned goes almost without saying. He clearly had no business hearing the case in the first place, since he seems to carry an emotional bias. He also needs to retake a constitutional law course. Otherwise, a real can of worms has been opened up, permitting violence against people exercising free speech.It should be noted that another atheist, dressed as a Zombie Pope, was marching beside the Zombie Muhammad. No outraged Catholics attacked him.
Syria referendum goes ahead amid military onslaught
ReutersBy Alistair Lyon | Reuters – FEB 26,12
BEIRUT (Reuters) - At least 31 Syrian civilians and soldiers were killed on Sunday in fighting over Syria's future that coincided with a vote on a new constitution that could keep President Bashar al-Assad in power until 2028.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said a military bombardment of opposition districts in Homs, now in its fourth week, had killed nine civilians, while rebel fighters had killed four soldiers in clashes in the city.The British-based Observatory said eight civilians and 10 members of the security forces were killed in violence elsewhere in Syria, scene of what has become an increasingly militarized revolt against four decades of Assad family rule.Voting was under way in the referendum on a new constitution, which Assad says will lead to a multi-party parliamentary election in three months, but his opponents see as a sick joke given Syria's turmoil.What should we be voting for, whether to die by bombardment or by bullets? This is the only choice we have, said Waleed Fares, an activist in the Khalidiyah district of Homs.We have been trapped in our houses for 23 days. We cannot go out, except into some alleys. Markets, schools and government buildings are closed, and there is very little movement on the streets because of snipers, he said.He said another besieged and battered district, Baba Amro, had had no food or water for three days. Homs in general has no electricity for 18 hours a day.With most foreign reporters barred from Syria or heavily restricted, witness reports are hard to verify.The Interior Ministry acknowledged obliquely that security conditions had disrupted voting, saying: The referendum on a new constitution is taking place in a normal way in most provinces so far, with a large turnout, except in some areas.The Syrian government, backed by Russia, China and Iran, and undeterred by Western and Arab pressure to halt the carnage, says it is fighting foreign-backed armed terrorist groups.
NO DESIRE FOR REFORM
Prime Minister Adel Safar, asked about opposition calls for a boycott, said this showed a lack of interest in dialogue.There are some groups that have a Western and foreign agenda and do not want reforms in Syria and want to divert Syria's steadfastness, he told reporters in Damascus.We are not concerned with this. We care about ... spreading democracy and freedom in the country, Safar said.If there was a genuine desire for reform, there would have been movement from all groups, especially the opposition, to start dialogue immediately with the government to achieve the reforms and implement them on the ground.The outside world has been powerless to restrain Assad's drive to crush the 11-month-old revolt, which has the potential to slide into a sectarian conflict between Syria's Sunni Muslim majority and the president's minority Alawite sect.Unwilling to intervene militarily and unable to get the U.N. Security Council to act in the teeth of Russian and Chinese opposition, Western powers have imposed their own sanctions on Syria and backed an Arab League call for Assad to step down.U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned on Sunday of the perils of any foreign intervention.I think there is every possibility of a civil war. Outside intervention would not prevent that, it would probably expedite it, she told BBC television in an interview.We have a very dangerous set of actors in the region: al Qaeda, Hamas and those who are on our terrorist list claiming to support the opposition. You have many Syrians more worried about what could come next ...If you bring in automatic weapons, which you can maybe smuggle across the border, what do they do against tanks and heavy artillery? There is such a much more complex set of factors.German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said the referendum was nothing but a farce.Sham votes cannot contribute to a solution of the crisis. Assad needs to put an end to the violence and clear the way for a political transition, he said in a statement.
HARROWING CONDITIONS
The military onslaught on parts of Homs has created harrowing conditions for civilians, rebels and journalists.A video posted by activists on YouTube showed Mohammad al-Mohammad, a doctor at a makeshift clinic in Baba Amro, holding a 15-year-old boy hit in the neck by shrapnel and spitting blood.It is late at night and Baba Amro is still being bombarded. We can do nothing for this boy, said the doctor, who has also been treating Western journalists wounded in the city.American correspondent Marie Colvin and French photographer Remi Ochlik were killed in the bombardment of Homs last week and two other Western journalists were wounded. The group is still trapped there despite Red Cross efforts to extricate them.The International Committee of the Red Cross said on Saturday it was still unable to evacuate distressed civilians from Baba Amro. After a day of talks with Syrian authorities and opposition fighters, it said there were no concrete results.In Hama, another city with a bloody record of resistance to Baathist rule, one activist said nobody was taking part in the referendum. We will not vote on a constitution drafted by our killer, he said by satellite telephone, asking not to be named.If the constitution is approved in the vote, a foregone conclusion, it would drop an article making Assad's Baath party the leader of state and society, allow political pluralism and enact a presidential limit of two seven-year terms.But the limit will not be enforced retrospectively, meaning that Assad, already in power for 11 years, could serve another two terms after his current one expires in 2014.Dozens of people lined up to vote in two polling stations visited by a Reuters journalist in Damascus.I've come to vote for President Bashar, God protect him and give him victory over his enemies, said Samah Turkmani, in his 50s.Another voter, Majed Elias, said: This is a national duty, whether I agree or not, I have to come and vote.This is Syria's third referendum since Assad inherited power from his late father. The first installed him as president in 2000 with an official 97.29 percent Yes vote. The second renewed his term seven years later with 97.62 percent in favor.

Homeschooling families can’t teach homosexuality a sin in class says Alberta gvmt by Patrick B. Craine Thu Feb 23, 2012 15:29 EST
EDMONTON, Alberta, February 23, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Under Alberta’s new Education Act, homeschoolers and faith-based schools will not be permitted to teach that homosexual acts are sinful as part of their academic program, says the spokesperson for Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk.Whatever the nature of schooling – homeschool, private school, Catholic school – we do not tolerate disrespect for differences, Donna McColl, Lukaszuk’s assistant director of communications, told LifeSiteNews on Wednesday evening.You can affirm the family’s ideology in your family life, you just can’t do it as part of your educational study and instruction, she added.Reacting to the remarks, Paul Faris of the Home School Legal Defence Association said the Ministry of Education is clearly signaling that they are in fact planning to violate the private conversations families have in their own homes.
You can affirm the family’s ideology in your family life, you just can’t do it as part of your educational study and instruction, a government spokesperson told LifeSiteNews.A government that seeks that sort of control over our personal lives should be feared and opposed, he added.The HSLDA and other homeschooling groups warned this week that the new Alberta Education Act, which was re-tabled by Alison Redford’s Progressive Conservative government on Feb. 14th to replace the existing School Act, threatens to mandate diversity education in all schools, including home schools.Section 16 of the new legislation restates the current School Act’s requirement that schools reflect the diverse nature of Alberta in their curriculum, but it adds that they must also honour and respect the controversial Alberta Human Rights Act that has been used to target Christians with traditional beliefs on homosexuality. School is defined to include homeschoolers and private schools in addition to publicly funded school boards.
McColl emphasized that homeschoolers were already included in the current definition of school in the School Act, going back to 1988 or longer. And Section 16, she said, is specifically with regards to programs, courses, and instructional materials.
According to McColl, Christian homeschooling families can continue to impart Biblical teachings on homosexuality in their homes, as long as it’s not part of their academic program of studies and instructional materials.What they want to do about their ideology elsewhere, that’s their family business. But a fundamental nature of our society is to respect diversity, she added.Pressed about what the precise distinction is between homeschoolers’ instruction and their family life, McColl said the question involved real nuances and she would have to get back with specifics.But in a second interview Wednesday evening, McColl said the government won’t speculate about particular examples, and explained that she had not yet gotten a straight answer on what exactly constitutes disrespect.She did say that families can’t be hatemongering, if you will.In the first interview, she justified the government’s position by pointing to Friday’s Supreme Court ruling upholding the Quebec government’s refusal to exempt families from its controversial ethics and religious culture program. That program, which aims to present the spectrum of world religions and lifestyle choices from a neutral stance, is required of all students, including homeschoolers.Just last Friday, the Supreme Court of Canada released a unanimous decision on – now it’s S.L. v. the Commission scolare des Chênes 2012 – and that’s the same, section 16 has to apply to everyone, including home education families, she said.Pro-family observers warned that the ruling risked emboldening other provincial governments in their effort to impose diversity programs. The last two years have seen major battles in Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, and now Alberta over the increasing normalization of homosexuality in the schools.The Supreme Court’s narrow ruling did not specifically address homeschooling, however, and left the door open to further court challenges. The court argued that the Quebec family seeking the exemption had simply failed to meet the burden of proof necessary to show that their children’s participation in the course would impede the parents’ ability to raise the children in their Catholic faith.Patty Marler, government liaison for the Alberta Home Education Association, said she was surprised at the Ministry’s straightforwardness, and questioned how they are going to be able to draw the line between school time and family time.We educate our children all the time, and that’s just the way we live. It’s a lifestyle, she said. Making that distinction between the times when we’re homeschooling and when we’re just living is really hard to do.
Throw in the fact that I do use the Bible as part of my curriculum and now I’m very blatantly going to be teaching stuff that will be against [the human rights act], she said.Marler pointed out that the issue has direct implications on how families teach their children about marriage because the Alberta Human Rights Act was amended in 2009 to define marriage as between two persons instead of a man and a woman. When I read Genesis and it talks about marriage being one man in union with one woman, I am very, very clearly opposing the human rights act that says it’s one person marrying another person, she said.According to Faris, the issue with McColl’s statements isn’t about sexuality or anything else on the gay issue, it’s about the government trying to control how we teach our own children in our own homes.He said her comments are particularly interesting in light of the - at the very least - misleading information that a lot of homeschoolers have been getting when they’re calling the Minister’s office, saying Look, there’s no changes here. We’re not going to do anything differently, and other things like that.The long arm of the government wants to reach into family’s homes and control what they teach to their own children in their own homes about religion, sexuality, and morality, he said. These are not the words of a government that is friendly to homeschooling or to parental freedom.The Progressive Conservative government has 67 of the 83 seats in the province’s legislature, so the bill’s passage is essentially assured. But an election is imminent and the new right-wing Wildrose Alliance Party is expected to have a strong showing. A Forum Research poll last week showed the upstart party polling at 30% behind the government’s 37%.The Home School Legal Defence Association is calling on Alberta citizens to contact the Education Minister and their elected representatives.

March to Jerusalem' to Amass 1 Million Arabs to Border-Deja Vu? Another March to Jerusalem aims at rallying one million people to march on Israel’s borders from surrounding countries.By Rachel Hirshfeld First Publish: 2/24/2012, 1:14 AM
An attempt is being made by the BDS movement to have a Global March to Jerusalem on March 30, to coincide with the so-called Palestinian(MURDERER-STEALER) Land Day, in a repeat of the failed Naqba Day attempt last year.The concept behind it is to have a million people marching on Israel’s borders from all the surrounding countries – Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt, CiF Watch reported.The BDS movement declares, Commemorating Land Day, the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) invites people of conscience around the world to unite for a BDS Global Day of Action on 30 March 2012 in solidarity with the Palestinian people’s struggle for freedom, justice and equality and for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel.The project’s official website says:The march will confirm that the policies and practices of the racist Zionist state of Israel against Jerusalem and its people are a crime not only against Palestinians but against all humanity.The CiF Watch reported that the results are therefore likely to be grave…The leaders of the Global March to Jerusalem are very much aware of [its] links to proscribed terrorist groups, and yet its endorsers include a rather predictable list of organizations and US and other nationals, including a UN employee and a former British MP. Israel, like any other sovereign country, cannot permit any type of attack on its borders, threatening its right to self-defense and autonomy as an independent state.
On last year's Israel independence day, or the so-called Naqba Day (meaning catastrophe day) of the Palestinians, media-hyped attempts by Arabs to cross the border were stopped by Israel on several fronts. Lebanese forces prevented marchers from approaching Israel's border, so as to avoid confrontation. Only Syria aided the marchers, hoping to get their minds off its own internal rioting, yet an estimated one hundred protesteres did manage to enter and were repelled. Israel has taken measures to prevent the re-occurance of a similar attack by those who associate with terrorist organizations and pride themselves on being dedicated to the destruction of the State of Israel.

Op-Ed: The Top 5 Fatal Flaws of the Israel Apartheid Analogy Published: Thursday, February 23, 2012 10:12 AM-It's that time again, Israel Apartheid Week starts next week. There is one obvious problem, however. Israel is not an apartheid state.
Shelley Neese
Shelley Neese is Vice President of the DC-based pro-Israel Christian publication called The Jerusalem Connection. (www.tjci.org).
On the 26th of February, campuses across America will begin their eighth annual Israel Apartheid Week (IAW). As the name suggest, the protest organizers aim to equate the government of Israel with South Africa’s apartheid regime. The protestors want to paint Israel as a racist, bigoted country that deserves international condemnation.If they succeed in creating a link between the South African system of apartheid and Israel’s treatment of its Arab citizens, they hope for Israel to lose all legitimacy in the eyes of the world. Just like the anti-apartheid movements in the seventies and eighties helped bring down the forced system of racial domination in South Africa, the organizers of IAW hope their movement can bring down the nation of Israel.Modeling the former anti-apartheid strategies, the IAW groups are using boycotts, divestment, sanctions, and synchronized protests to isolate the Jewish state on all fronts.The Israel apartheid analogy has now gone mainstream—gaining especially wide acceptance in the academic community. In 2006, former President Jimmy Carter aptly titled his best-selling book Palestine: Peace not Apartheid. Anti-Israel signs, apparel, literature, and documentaries run with the semantics of the apartheid comparison: Zionism is racism,Tear down the wall, and Wrong for South Africans, wrong for Palestinians.There is one obvious problem, however. Israel is not an apartheid state. To accuse it of such requires a real imaginative stretch. Presented here are the top five reasons that the apartheid analogy is fatally flawed.
1.Equality. During South Africa’s apartheid system, the majority black population was oppressed and persecuted by the minority whites. In Israel, all citizens—including Arab citizens—are equal before the law, regardless of their race, religion, or minority status. Of all the countries in the Middle East, Israel is the only true democracy with full freedom for its citizens.
2.Citizenship. In 1970s South Africa all non-whites were stripped of their South African citizenship. In 1948, Israel did the opposite. When the dust settled from Israel’s war of independence, Israel gave full citizenship to the Arabs who remained in Israel and did not flee. They did this even though it was a defensive war. Today 20% of the Israeli citizenry's population is Arab. That’s a million and a half Arab citizens living in Israel and enjoying all the same rights as Israeli Jews. In addition, only 4% of the Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) are under Israeli rule, the rest are under Palestinian Authority rule.
3.Democracy. In South Africa, non-whites were not allowed to be in government or even vote. In Israel, Arabs have been represented since the very first Knesset. Israeli Arabs vote and have been elected to every level of local and national office, including appointments to the Israeli Supreme Court and government minister positions.
4.Freedom. The South African apartheid regime strictly regulated the lives of non-whites with a host of separation laws. Black South Africans were confined to Bantustans, defined labor areas that they were not permitted to leave. Israel, in contrast, has extensive anti-discrimination laws. Israeli Arabs work in all sectors, attend universities, and open businesses. While much of the Arab population lives in concentrated Arab municipalities in Israel, this is an informal segregation as a matter of choice. For South African blacks, segregation was a matter of force.
5.Security. The security fence separating Israel from the West Bank is often denigrated as the apartheid wall. During Israel Apartheid Week, a common tactic on campuses is to build mock apartheid walls at protest sites. Admittedly, Israel must strictly enforce border control at entrance points from the Palestinian Authority and hostile Palestinian Arab communities to its jurisdiction. However, this restriction is due to their legitimate security concerns and not racism. The fence is credited for a drastic reduction in the number of mass-murder attacks carried out in Israel after reaching a peak in the second intifada. In South Africa, racism formed the base of segregation, not terrorism. Blacks living under South African apartheid did not seek the destruction of South Africa, only the regime of apartheid.
Perhaps the best proof that Israel is not an apartheid regime is the fact that the vast majority of Israeli Arabs want to retain their Israeli citizenship. Israeli Arabs both privately and publicly say they would not want to leave Israel and move to a Palestinian state should one be created. When former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert suggested in 2007 that he would hand over Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority, the Arabs in Jerusalem rose up in protest. Nabil Gheit, an Arab mayor of one of these neighborhoods, said If there was a referendum here, no one would vote to join the Palestinian Authority. We will not accept it. There would be another intifada [uprising] to defend ourselves from the PA.Those who are demanding to Stop Israeli Apartheid from the comfort of their campus parade grounds, should first stop and ask the Arab citizens and alleged victims in Israel one question: Where in the Middle East would you have it better?

Twelve killed in protests across Afghanistan ReutersBy Mirwais Harooni and Hamid Shalizi | Reuters – FEB 24,12
Supporters of the political and religious party Jamat-e-Islami burn an effigy of U.S. President Barack Obama while others beat it with sticks during an anti-U.S. rally in Peshawar February 24, 2012. About 100 protesters gathered on the streets of Peshawar to condemn the burning of copies of the Koran at NATO's main base in Afghanistan on Tuesday. REUTERS/Fayaz Aziz (ISLAM EVEN HATES THE MUSLIM OBAMA OVER THIS QURAN BURNING INCIDENT)
KABUL (Reuters) - Twelve people were killed on Friday in the bloodiest day yet in protests that have raged across Afghanistan over the desecration of copies of the Muslim holy book at a NATO military base with riot police and soldiers on high alert braced for more violence.The burning of the Korans at the Bagram compound earlier this week has deepened public mistrust of NATO forces struggling to stabilize Afghanistan before foreign combat troops withdraw in 2014.Hundreds of Afghans marched toward the palace of Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul, while on the other side of the capital protesters hoisted the white flag of the Taliban.Chanting Death to America! and Long live Islam!, protesters also threw rocks at police in Kabul, while Afghan army helicopters circled above.Friday is a holy day and the official weekly holiday in Afghanistan and mosques in the capital drew large crowds, with police in pick-up trucks posted on nearby streets.Armed protesters took refuge in shops in the eastern part of the city, where they killed one demonstrator, said police at the scene. In another Kabul rally, police said they were unsure who fired the shots that killed a second protester.Seven more protesters were killed in the western province of Herat, two more in eastern Khost province and one in the relatively peaceful northern Baghlan province, health and local officials said. In Herat, around 500 men charged at the U.S. consulate.
U.S. President Barack Obama had sent a letter to Karzai apologizing for the unintentional burning of the Korans at NATO's main Bagram air base, north of Kabul, after Afghan laborers found charred copies while collecting rubbish.Muslims consider the Koran to be the literal word of God and treat each copy with deep reverence. Desecration is considered one of the worst forms of blasphemy.Afghanistan wants NATO to put those responsible on public trial.In neighboring U.S. ally Pakistan, about 400 members of a hardline Islamist group staged protests. If you burn the Koran, we will burn you, they shouted.To Afghanistan's west, Iranian cleric Ahmad Khatami said the U.S. had purposely burned the Korans. These apologies are fake. The world should know that America is against Islam, he said in a speech broadcast live on state radio.It (the Koran burning) was not a mistake. It was an intentional move, done on purpose.Most Westerners have been confined to their heavily fortified compounds, including at the sprawling U.S. embassy complex and other diplomatic missions, as protests that have killed a total of 23 people, including two U.S. soldiers, rolled into their fourth day. The embassy, in a message on the microblogging site Twitter, urged U.S. citizens to please be safe out there and expanded movement restrictions to relatively peaceful northern provinces, where large demonstrations also occurred Thursday, including the attempted storming of a Norwegian military base.The Taliban urged Afghan security forces Thursday to turn their guns on the foreign infidel invaders and repeatedly urged Afghans to kill, beat and capture NATO soldiers.
Germany, which has the third-largest foreign presence in the NATO-led war, pulled out several weeks early of a small base in the northern Takhar province Friday over security concerns, a defense ministry spokesman said.(Additional reporting by Amira Mitri in TEHRAN, Imtiaz Shah in KARACHI, Sabine Siebold in BERLIN, Writing by Amie Ferris-Rotman; Editing by Michael Georgy and Ed Lane)
Expert Warns of Waqf's Dangerous Plans for Temple Mount-Archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar warns: The Waqf is planning to unite all the mosques on the Temple Mount into one.By Elad Benari First Publish: 2/24/2012, 4:14 AM
Archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar warned on Thursday about the plans of the Muslim religious authority, the Waqf, for the Temple Mount.Speaking to Arutz Sheva, Mazar said that for the past 12 years, the Waqf has constantly built on the Temple Mount in an attempt to implement its final plan: the establishment of a huge mosque on the Mount.There is no order there and no one to uphold the law, she said. No one can enforce the law there. Not the Israel Antiquities Authority, not the Nature and Parks Authority and not the city of Jerusalem. The police are there but they are precluded from enforcing.The Temple Mount was left in the hands of the Waqf following Jerusalem’s reunification in 1967, a decision of then-Defense Minister Moshe Dayan. The Waqf has taken advantage of this and removed every sign of ancient Jewish presence at the most Jewish holy site. At the entrance, a Waqf sign says, The Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyard and everything in it is Islamic property.Police, in an attempt to appease the Waqf, discriminate against Jews. They limit the number of Jewish worshippers allowed on the Temple Mount at one time in order to prevent conflict with Muslim worshippers. They often close the Mount to Jews in response to Muslim riots – despite evidence that Muslim riots have been planned in advance for the specific purpose of forcing Jews out.
Mazar, a member of a group of Israelis who work to prevent the destruction of antiquities on the Temple Mount, said that the State Comptroller wrote a report which exposed serious findings about Israeli authorities’ inability to enforce the law on the Temple Mount, but noted that the report has remained confidential to this day.The Comptroller produced a thorough report and questioned all the right people. He came to important conclusions which so far have not been published. Our group has demanded and continues to demand that the contents of the report be published.She warned that the excavations of antiquities being performed on the Temple Mount by the Waqf may lead to disaster.It has been going on for 12 years. They’re digging there as if it’s a construction site. There is a danger that the ground will collapse under thousands of Muslims. It endangers the safety of the people. There must be engineering control over this huge monument. Every stone on the Temple Mount may contain some of the most important antiquities in the world.Mazar added, I do not accept the argument that this could lead to a world war. The Temple Mount is at the center of Jerusalem. We’re not harming the Muslim rituals. We only want to enforce the law and order so that a disaster can be prevented. The Waqf cannot be trusted. If something collapses there the Western Wall may also be damaged, because the Temple Mount is on a round hill and its edges will be in danger.Mazar said the Waqf’s final plan is to unite all the mosques on the Temple Mount and create one big mosque. She added that it has been working for years to put the plan into practice and warned that if this happens, Jews will not be able to go to the Temple Mount.We know that the Waqf’s goal is to unite all one the mosques, and unfortunately today it is far from being just an illusion,she said.We will definitely weep over this plan in the future.
Senators Back Netanyahu in Pentagon Row-US Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham were quick back Israel in a growing rift with the Obama administration over Iran
By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 2/24/2012, 11:17 AM
US Senator John McCain backed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu this week in a growing divergence of views with Washington on how to confront Iran's nuclear program.On Tuesday, Netanyahu charged that US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey was unwilling to aid Israel in ensuring Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons.Netanyahu added that Dempsey's assertion a pre-emptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities would be destabilizing for peace talks and not prudent for America’s efforts served the Iranians.Dempsey added that a US-led attack would not resolve the matter and said that an immediate strike wouldn’t achieve their long-term objectives.Siding with Netanyahu, McCain told reporters in Jerusalem There should be no daylight between America and Israel in our assessment of the [Iranian] threat.Unfortunately there clearly is some, added the Senator.McCain's remarks came only hours after the he met with Netanyahu, who just previously charged Dempsey with serving the Iranians.McCain added differences between Washington and Jerusalem over Iran has caused significant tension, adding, there is very little doubt that Iran has so far been undeterred to get nuclear weapons.Senator Lindsey Graham, travelling in the region with McCain, told reporters obviously it’s not helpful if there is a well-publicized tension between the US and Israel. We would like to see the United States and Israel agree on course of action that will lead us toward a goal we both share.
People are giving Israel a lot of advice here lately from America, Graham said.I just want to tell our Israeli friends that my advice to you is never lose control of your destiny.Never allow a situation to develop that would destroy the Jewish state, he added.The International Atomic Energy Association published a 13-page report in November 2011 charging Iran with seeking nuclear technology of a military nation and systemically obstructing international inspectors.The report, citing intelligence reports from ten different member states, buttressed charges from Israel, the United States, its Western allies, and Gulf Arab nations that Iran is secretly pursuing nuclear weapons.US President Barack Obama has publicly backed sanctions and diplomacy while shying away from a military strike, leading Israeli officials to charge he is hesitant to take decisive action.Israeli officials, however, have said that when they say all options are on the table they mean it and that should Iran approach the immunity zone they will not hesitate to act.
Kofi Annan Appointed UN-Arab League Envoy for Syria-Former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan has been tapped to find an and to violence and peaceful solution for Syria's crisis.By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 2/24/2012, 2:52 PM
Former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan on Thursday was appointed to serve as the joint United Nations-Arab League envoy on the Syrian crisis.Annan's appointment was announced jointly by his successor, Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, and Arab League Secretary-General Nabeel Al Araby.The announcement said Annan carries a mandate to work to bring an end all violence and human rights violations, and promoting a peaceful solution to the Syrian crisis.It added Annan will work internationally and in Syria to bring a peaceful Syrian-led and inclusive political solution that meets the democratic aspirations of the Syrian people through a comprehensive political dialogue between the Syrian government and the whole spectrum of the Syrian opposition.Last week, the UN General Assembly asked Ban to support the Arab League's efforts to promote a peaceful solution to the crisis, including through appointment of a special envoy to Syria.Annan's appointment reportedly came after Ban failed to find a high-level Arab acceptable to both sides. Anan is a veteran mediator who, in 2001, was jointly awarded with United Nations (U.N.) he ran a Nobel Peace Prize for their work for a better organized and more peaceful world.Ban's decision to appoint Annan came the day before a major international conference in Tunisia, which is expected to gather together over 70 senior officials from nations and international organizations.The conference comes as forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad shells rebel-held areas of the central city of Homs for the 21'st straight day, with rights observers reporting hundreds have been killed.
Assad's brutal crackdown on anti-regime demonstrations has now been ongoing for over a year with rights groups estimating civilian deaths have risen past 7,300.However, UN Human Rights officials stopped trying to ascertain the civilian death toll in Syria in January due to the increasing instability and unrest. Their last official count was over 5,400.A major point of discussion at the conference between major powers is expected to be plugging Asian, Eastern European, and Russian loopholes in sanctions targeting Assad's regime.Both China and Russia, with billions of dollars in trade agreements tied to Assad's regimes, have repeatedly stymied international efforts to impose universal sanctions in the Security Council.Russia has said it will not attend Friday's conference.Annan, 73, served as the UN's secretary-general from 1997 to 2006. The UN he left behind was more aggressively engaged in peacekeeping and fighting poverty, but also marred by a scandal over the UN-run oil-for-food program for humanitarian relief in Iraq.He was also locked in a lengthy imbroglio with US officials and lawmakers who demanded reforms in the UN Secretariat aimed at achieving greater budgetary transparency and fiscal accountability.After leaving the UN, Annan was suggested as a candidate to be president in his native Ghana – a position he declined. He did however remain active in several African organizations.In 2008, Annan participated in negotiations to end civil unrest in Kenya following disputed elections and mediated agreement on a coalition government.
Iran rapidly expands sensitive nuclear work: IAEA
ReutersBy Fredrik Dahl | Reuters – FEB 24,12
VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran has sharply stepped up its controversial uranium enrichment drive, the United Nations' nuclear agency said on Friday in a report that will further inflame Israeli fears that the Islamic Republic is pushing ahead with an atomic weapons program.The U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also reported its failed mission to Tehran this week that aimed to get Iran to respond to allegations of research relevant for the development of nuclear weapons - a serious setback to the possible resumption of diplomatic talks.The Agency continues to have serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program, the Vienna-based U.N. body said in a quarterly report about Iran issued to its member states.Israel, which has threatened Iran with pre-emptive strikes on its nuclear sites, had no immediate comment on the report. Germany, which has backed tough new sanctions on Iran, said it was further cause for concern.Germany is very concerned about the latest report from the IAEA. We think Iran should understand the key to ending sanctions is in their own hands, they have a duty to cooperate with the international community, said German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle.
The Islamic Republic's rapid expansion of work which can have both civilian and military purposes underlines that it has no intention of backing down in a long-running row with the West that has sparked fears of war in the Middle East.
Tehran says its nuclear program is exclusively for civilian purposes and denies it aims to make atomic weapons.The confidential IAEA report said Iran has, since late last year, tripled output of uranium refined to a level that brings it significantly closer to potential bomb material, an official familiar with the agency's probe said.
Making clear the two sides were far apart, it said there were major differences on how to tackle the issue and that Iran had dismissed the IAEA's concerns as unfounded. No further meetings are planned.The setback increased concerns of a downward spiral towards conflict between Iran and the West, and sent oil prices higher.IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano urged Iran in the report to provide early access to Parchin, a military site near Tehran seen as central to the agency's investigations into possible military aspects of Iran's nuclear work.The failure of the two-day IAEA visit could hamper any resumption of wider nuclear negotiations between Iran and six world powers - the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany - as the sense grows that Tehran feels it is being backed into a corner.The IAEA report said Iran had carried out a significant expansion of activities at its main enrichment plant near the central city of Natanz, and also increased work at the Fordow underground facility.Enriched uranium can be used to fuel nuclear power plants, which is Iran's stated aim, or provide material for bombs if refined much further, which the West suspects is Tehran's ultimate plan.At Natanz, the IAEA report said 52 cascades - each containing around 170 centrifuges - were now operating, up from 37 in November.At Fordow, almost 700 centrifuges are now refining uranium to a fissile concentration of 20 percent and preparations are under way to install many more, the report said.
PROTECTION
Fordow is of particular concern for the West and Israel as Iran is shifting the most sensitive aspect of its nuclear work - refining uranium to a level that takes it significantly closer to potential bomb material - to the site.Estimated to be buried beneath 80 meters (265 feet) of rock and soil, it gives Iran better protection against any Israeli or U.S. military strikes.The report said Iran had now produced nearly 110 kg of uranium enriched to 20 percent since early 2010. Western experts say about 250 kg is needed for a nuclear weapon, although it would need to be enriched much further.An IAEA report in November suggested Iran had pursued military nuclear technology helped to precipitate the latest sanctions by the European Union and United States.Iran last month said it had started to refine uranium to a fissile concentration of 20 percent - compared with the 3.5 percent it mainly produces at Natanz and which is used for nuclear power plants - at Fordow.Nuclear bombs require uranium enriched to 90 percent, but Western experts say much of the effort required to get there is already achieved once it reaches 20 percent concentration, shortening the time needed for any nuclear weapons break-out.(Reporting by Fredrik Dahl; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)
Medical evacuation of women, children from Homs underway: ICRC ReutersBy Lin Noueihed and John Irish | Reuters – FEB 24,12
TUNIS (Reuters) - The Syrian Arab Red Crescent began evacuating wounded or sick women and children from the Baba Amro district of the besieged city of Homs on Friday as international pressure mounted on the Syrian government to open the country up to humanitarian aid.The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said the evacuation was underway after Syrian Arab Red Crescent ambulances had entered Baba Amro. It's a first step forward, ICRC chief spokeswoman Carla Haddad told Reuters in Geneva.News of the evacuation came as Gulf Arab nations meeting in Tunis pushed for more forceful intervention against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the United States warned he would have even more blood on his hands if he blocked aid to stricken civilian areas.Speaking at the meeting called to escalate pressure on Assad over his crackdown on 11 months of protests, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Feisal said he supported arming the rebels.I think it's an excellent idea, he said at the start of a meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who warned Assad would pay a heavy price for the violence in Syria.
If the Assad regime refuses to allow this life-saving aid to reach civilians, it will have even more blood on its hands, Clinton said in prepared remarks for the meeting.So too will those nations that continue to protect and arm the regime.With the bombardment of opposition-held neighborhoods in Homs entering its fourth week on Friday, the city has become the most internationally known focus of the violent crackdown on opposition in Syria.Opposition activists said earlier on Friday that Syrian government artillery fire killed five people.Baba Amro is being hit with 122mm artillery directed at it from surrounding villages. A father and his 14-year-old son were among those killed. They were trying to flee the shelling when shrapnel hit them in the street, Mohammad al-Homsi said.The International Committee of the Red Cross, which had been negotiating with Syrian officials and opposition forces in Homs for an evacuation of all sick and wounded in need of help, gave no further details of its operation.ICRC spokeswoman Carla Haddad said there was no immediate information from the humanitarian agency's teams on the ground as to whether wounded foreign journalists were among them.French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe had said the Red Cross and the governor of Homs were working to evacuate the foreign journalists stranded in the city.Activists also said Syrian security forces lined up and shot dead at least 18 people in a village in the central western Hama province. A video uploaded by activists showed people wrapping the bloodied bodies of children and at least four adults. Several had been shot through the head.
ARAB/UN FORCE
At the meeting in Tunis, Qatar's Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani said an Arab force should be created to impose peace and open humanitarian corridors in Syria.He was addressing the first gathering of the Friends of Syria group, more than 50 countries who met amid mounting world outrage over violence that has claimed thousands of lives during the uprising.An updated draft declaration from the meeting called on Syria to immediately cease all violence to allow the United Nations access to Homs, and to let agencies deliver aid to civilians affected by the violence.The Friends of Syria pledged, in the latest version of the draft seen by Reuters, to deliver humanitarian supplies within 48 hours if Syria's government stopped its assault on civilian areas and permitted access.With moves for tough action against Syria in the U.N. Security Council stymied by Russian and Chinese vetoes and a lack of appetite for military action to end Assad's crackdown, delegates in Tunis have limited options.The head of the main opposition Syrian National Council (SNC) expressed disappointment in the Tunis meeting. This conference does not meet the aspirations of the Syrian people,SNC chief Burhan Ghalioun told Reuters.But in a sign the international community is seeking ways around the Security Council deadlock, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he would dispatch former U.N. chief Kofi Annan to Syria as a joint U.N.-Arab League envoy.And in a blow to Assad, the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas turned publically against their long-time ally on Friday. I salute the heroic people of Syria who are striving for freedom democracy and reform,Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said.
The exiled political leadership of Hamas, based in Damascus for over a decade, quietly quit the Syrian capital recently but had tried to deny their absence had anything to do with the revolt.One Syrian opposition source said that although no country had yet decided to arm the rebels, foreign powers were turning a blind eye to weapons purchases by Syrian exiles smuggling in light arms, communications equipment and night vision goggles.Syrian opposition supporters were also trying to bring anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons to the Free Syrian Army rebels, and to get retired Syrian officers into the country to help coordinate military opposition to Assad.
HARSH REALITIES
The draft communiqué did not mention any foreign military intervention along the lines of the NATO bombing campaign that helped force out Libya's Muammar Gaddafi.
Instead, it called for further diplomatic pressure on Assad to step down and endorsed an Arab League plan that sees him handing power to a deputy as a prelude to elections.The group will also commit to enforce sanctions aimed at pressuring Syrian authorities to halt violence, according to the draft declaration.These include travel bans, asset freezes, a halt to purchases of Syrian oil, ceasing infrastructure investment and financial services relating to Syria, reducing diplomatic ties and preventing arms shipments to the Syrian government.Juppe said the European Union, which has already imposed sanctions on Syrian officials, businesses and oil exports, would freeze assets of the Syrian Central Bank from Monday.But the wording of the Tunis draft reflected a harsh reality: there is little the world can do to stop the violence as long as Russia and China, both of which declined invitations to the Tunis meeting, reject Security Council resolutions.
Another problem for world powers is divisions in the Syrian opposition. While the SNC attended the Tunis talks the mainly Syrian-based National Coordination Body declined to take part.(Additional reporting by Stephanie Nebehay in Geneva, Dominic Evans in Beirut, Khaled Oweis in Amman and Arshad Mohammed in Tunis; Writing by Myra MacDonald; Editing by Dominic Evans)

How the U.S. Could Pressure North Korea Tomorrow: Quit the $100 Bill Time.comBy DAVID WOLMAN | Time.com – FEB 24,12
U.S. negotiators are heading into a second day of what have been dubbed serious and substantial talks with North Korean officials. Yet amidst all the discussion of how the U.S. will attempt to work with Kim Jon-un, there has been little (open) speculation as to whether Dear Leader Junior might crank up production of $100 and $50 bills. No, not North Korean 100- or 50-won banknotes, worth about as much as old tissues. I'm talking about fake greenbacks -- or, as the U.S. Secret Service has dubbed them, superdollars.These ultra-counterfeits are light years beyond the weak facsimiles produced by most forgers, who use desktop printers. As an anti-counterfeiting investigator with Europol once put it: Superdollars are just U.S. dollars not made by the U.S. government. With few exceptions, only Federal Reserve banks equipped with the fanciest detection gear can identify these fakes.Yet as unpatriotic as this may sound, perhaps America would be better off if Kim Jong-un were to try and enrich himself with D-I-Y Benjamins. Let me explain, by way of a little background about superdollars.(MORE: Can a Second Bailout Save Greece?)
The super moniker does not stem from any particular talent on the part of the North Koreans. It's a matter of equipment. The regime apparently possesses the same kind of intaglio printing press (or presses) used by the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. A leading theory is that in 1989, just before the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the machines made their way to North Korea from a clandestine facility in East Germany, where they were used to make fake passports and other secret documents. The high-tech paper is just about the same as what's used to make authentic dollars, and the North Koreans buy their ink from the same Swiss firm that supplies the US government with ink for greenbacks.Forging $100 bills obviously gels with the regime's febrile anti-Americanism and its aim to undercut U.S. global power, in this case by sowing doubts about our currency. State level counterfeiting is a kind of slow-motion violence committed against an enemy, and it has been tried many times before. During the Revolutionary War, the British printed fake Continentals to undermine the fragile colonial currency. Napoleon counterfeited Russian notes during the Napoleonic Wars, and during World War II the Germans forced a handful of artists and printing experts in Block 19 of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp to produce fake U.S. dollars and British pounds sterling. (Their story is the basis for the 2007 film The Counterfeiters, winner of the 2007 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.)Superdollars can be viewed as an act of economic warfare, but Pyongyang's motive is probably more mundane: The regime is broke. The 2009 attempt to raise funds by devaluing its already pathetic currency revealed not only the country's fiscal desperation, but also the abuse Dear Leader was willing to inflict on his people. The won was devalued by 100 percent, which meant 1,000 won suddenly had the purchasing power of 10 won. (Imagine waking up to a learn that a slice of pizza costs $250.) Officials set a tight limit on how much old money could be exchanged for new, so whatever value existed within people's paltry savings evaporated overnight. Compared to devaluation, generating quick cash by counterfeiting some other country's more stable currency looks downright humanitarian.(MORE: TIME's Interview With Warren Buffett)
The superdollar affair has a certain comic-book quality: copying the currency of the evil capitalists so you can buy cognac and missiles. But Washington isn't laughing. At the end of December, Ireland's high court rejected a U.S. request to extradite former Workers Party president and IRA veteran, Sean Garland, for his alleged involvement with the superdollar plot. There is also the question of what exactly the North Koreans hope to procure with all of this money. According to the House Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, superdollars may be part of the regime's effort to acquire materials for nuclear weapons.Since the superdollars were first detected about a decade ago, the regime has been pocketing an estimated $15 to $25 million a year from them. (Other estimates are much higher -- up to several hundred million dollars' worth.) That sounds like a lot of money, but compared to the $1 trillion in cash circulating in the great ocean of commerce, a few hundred million is chump change. Although certainly costly for small business owners who unknowingly accept a bunch of forgeries, counterfeits probably won't bring about a crisis of faith in our paper money anytime soon.Yet taking the long view, maybe a rash of new superdollars from the hermetic regime of Kim Jong-un would be beneficial. How so? Because counterfeits have a way of reminding people of what material money is and how it functions, and that could lead to a discussion of its pros and cons. Cash is, and always has been, such an uncontested part of everyday life that we rarely stop to consider its toll on society as the currency of crime, to say nothing of the heaping expense of printing, transporting, securing, inspecting, shredding, redesigning, reprinting, re-inspecting, and redistributing it ad nauseum, plus the broader costs of prosecuting and incarcerating the thousands, if not millions, of people who commit cash-related crimes. That's not to suggest we could get rid of paper money tomorrow; we still don't have a substitute that's equally convenient, universally accepted, and adequately secure. But that day may be closer than you think. (Coins, however, we could -- and should -- do away with. As in, right now.)(MORE: Google Takes Another Experimental Step Toward Delivering TV)
Superdollars, and the untold billions of (electronic) dollars spent combating them could be the wake-up call that finally forces us to think more clearly about the costs of physical money. If killing all cash strikes you as a little too radical, consider for a moment what it would mean to get rid of high-denomination banknotes. Who would be most inconvenienced if Washington were to outlaw $100 and $50 bills tomorrow? Cartel bosses in Juarez, Mexico jump to mind. So do human traffickers in China and Africa, aspiring terrorists in Afghanistan, wildlife poachers, arms dealers, tax evaders, and everyday crooks who hold up mom and pop groceries. And, or course, North Korean government officials.So then. At the risk of infuriating cash-hoarding militia members, anonymity-obsessed ACLU'ers, the U.S. Treasury, Russian mob, Laundromat owners, and just about every person who has ever hid a purchase from a spouse or income from the government, I would say this to Kim Jong-un and his posse of counterfeiters: Bring it.

March to Jerusalem' to Amass 1 Million Arabs to Border-Deja Vu? Another March to Jerusalem aims at rallying one million people to march on Israel’s borders from surrounding countries.By Rachel Hirshfeld First Publish: 2/24/2012, 1:14 AM
An attempt is being made by the BDS movement to have a Global March to Jerusalem on March 30, to coincide with the so-called Palestinian(MURDERER-STEALER) Land Day, in a repeat of the failed Naqba Day attempt last year.The concept behind it is to have a million people marching on Israel’s borders from all the surrounding countries – Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt, CiF Watch reported.The BDS movement declares, Commemorating Land Day, the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) invites people of conscience around the world to unite for a BDS Global Day of Action on 30 March 2012 in solidarity with the Palestinian people’s struggle for freedom, justice and equality and for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel.The project’s official website says:The march will confirm that the policies and practices of the racist Zionist state of Israel against Jerusalem and its people are a crime not only against Palestinians but against all humanity.The CiF Watch reported that the results are therefore likely to be grave…The leaders of the Global March to Jerusalem are very much aware of [its] links to proscribed terrorist groups, and yet its endorsers include a rather predictable list of organizations and US and other nationals, including a UN employee and a former British MP. Israel, like any other sovereign country, cannot permit any type of attack on its borders, threatening its right to self-defense and autonomy as an independent state.
On last year's Israel independence day, or the so-called Naqba Day (meaning catastrophe day) of the Palestinians, media-hyped attempts by Arabs to cross the border were stopped by Israel on several fronts. Lebanese forces prevented marchers from approaching Israel's border, so as to avoid confrontation. Only Syria aided the marchers, hoping to get their minds off its own internal rioting, yet an estimated one hundred protesteres did manage to enter and were repelled. Israel has taken measures to prevent the re-occurance of a similar attack by those who associate with terrorist organizations and pride themselves on being dedicated to the destruction of the State of Israel.

Op-Ed: The Top 5 Fatal Flaws of the Israel Apartheid Analogy Published: Thursday, February 23, 2012 10:12 AM-It's that time again, Israel Apartheid Week starts next week. There is one obvious problem, however. Israel is not an apartheid state.
Shelley Neese
Shelley Neese is Vice President of the DC-based pro-Israel Christian publication called The Jerusalem Connection. (www.tjci.org).
On the 26th of February, campuses across America will begin their eighth annual Israel Apartheid Week (IAW). As the name suggest, the protest organizers aim to equate the government of Israel with South Africa’s apartheid regime. The protestors want to paint Israel as a racist, bigoted country that deserves international condemnation.If they succeed in creating a link between the South African system of apartheid and Israel’s treatment of its Arab citizens, they hope for Israel to lose all legitimacy in the eyes of the world. Just like the anti-apartheid movements in the seventies and eighties helped bring down the forced system of racial domination in South Africa, the organizers of IAW hope their movement can bring down the nation of Israel.Modeling the former anti-apartheid strategies, the IAW groups are using boycotts, divestment, sanctions, and synchronized protests to isolate the Jewish state on all fronts.The Israel apartheid analogy has now gone mainstream—gaining especially wide acceptance in the academic community. In 2006, former President Jimmy Carter aptly titled his best-selling book Palestine: Peace not Apartheid. Anti-Israel signs, apparel, literature, and documentaries run with the semantics of the apartheid comparison: Zionism is racism,Tear down the wall, and Wrong for South Africans, wrong for Palestinians.There is one obvious problem, however. Israel is not an apartheid state. To accuse it of such requires a real imaginative stretch. Presented here are the top five reasons that the apartheid analogy is fatally flawed.
1.Equality. During South Africa’s apartheid system, the majority black population was oppressed and persecuted by the minority whites. In Israel, all citizens—including Arab citizens—are equal before the law, regardless of their race, religion, or minority status. Of all the countries in the Middle East, Israel is the only true democracy with full freedom for its citizens.
2.Citizenship. In 1970s South Africa all non-whites were stripped of their South African citizenship. In 1948, Israel did the opposite. When the dust settled from Israel’s war of independence, Israel gave full citizenship to the Arabs who remained in Israel and did not flee. They did this even though it was a defensive war. Today 20% of the Israeli citizenry's population is Arab. That’s a million and a half Arab citizens living in Israel and enjoying all the same rights as Israeli Jews. In addition, only 4% of the Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) are under Israeli rule, the rest are under Palestinian Authority rule.
3.Democracy. In South Africa, non-whites were not allowed to be in government or even vote. In Israel, Arabs have been represented since the very first Knesset. Israeli Arabs vote and have been elected to every level of local and national office, including appointments to the Israeli Supreme Court and government minister positions.
4.Freedom. The South African apartheid regime strictly regulated the lives of non-whites with a host of separation laws. Black South Africans were confined to Bantustans, defined labor areas that they were not permitted to leave. Israel, in contrast, has extensive anti-discrimination laws. Israeli Arabs work in all sectors, attend universities, and open businesses. While much of the Arab population lives in concentrated Arab municipalities in Israel, this is an informal segregation as a matter of choice. For South African blacks, segregation was a matter of force.
5.Security. The security fence separating Israel from the West Bank is often denigrated as the apartheid wall. During Israel Apartheid Week, a common tactic on campuses is to build mock apartheid walls at protest sites. Admittedly, Israel must strictly enforce border control at entrance points from the Palestinian Authority and hostile Palestinian Arab communities to its jurisdiction. However, this restriction is due to their legitimate security concerns and not racism. The fence is credited for a drastic reduction in the number of mass-murder attacks carried out in Israel after reaching a peak in the second intifada. In South Africa, racism formed the base of segregation, not terrorism. Blacks living under South African apartheid did not seek the destruction of South Africa, only the regime of apartheid.
Perhaps the best proof that Israel is not an apartheid regime is the fact that the vast majority of Israeli Arabs want to retain their Israeli citizenship. Israeli Arabs both privately and publicly say they would not want to leave Israel and move to a Palestinian state should one be created. When former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert suggested in 2007 that he would hand over Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority, the Arabs in Jerusalem rose up in protest. Nabil Gheit, an Arab mayor of one of these neighborhoods, said If there was a referendum here, no one would vote to join the Palestinian Authority. We will not accept it. There would be another intifada [uprising] to defend ourselves from the PA.Those who are demanding to Stop Israeli Apartheid from the comfort of their campus parade grounds, should first stop and ask the Arab citizens and alleged victims in Israel one question: Where in the Middle East would you have it better?

KABUL (Reuters) - Twelve people were killed on Friday in the bloodiest day yet in protests that have raged across Afghanistan over the desecration of copies of the Muslim holy book at a NATO military base with riot police and soldiers on high alert braced for more violence.The burning of the Korans at the Bagram compound earlier this week has deepened public mistrust of NATO forces struggling to stabilize Afghanistan before foreign combat troops withdraw in 2014.Hundreds of Afghans marched toward the palace of Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul, while on the other side of the capital protesters hoisted the white flag of the Taliban.Chanting Death to America! and Long live Islam!, protesters also threw rocks at police in Kabul, while Afghan army helicopters circled above.Friday is a holy day and the official weekly holiday in Afghanistan and mosques in the capital drew large crowds, with police in pick-up trucks posted on nearby streets.Armed protesters took refuge in shops in the eastern part of the city, where they killed one demonstrator, said police at the scene. In another Kabul rally, police said they were unsure who fired the shots that killed a second protester.Seven more protesters were killed in the western province of Herat, two more in eastern Khost province and one in the relatively peaceful northern Baghlan province, health and local officials said. In Herat, around 500 men charged at the U.S. consulate.
U.S. President Barack Obama had sent a letter to Karzai apologizing for the unintentional burning of the Korans at NATO's main Bagram air base, north of Kabul, after Afghan laborers found charred copies while collecting rubbish.Muslims consider the Koran to be the literal word of God and treat each copy with deep reverence. Desecration is considered one of the worst forms of blasphemy.Afghanistan wants NATO to put those responsible on public trial.In neighboring U.S. ally Pakistan, about 400 members of a hardline Islamist group staged protests. If you burn the Koran, we will burn you, they shouted.To Afghanistan's west, Iranian cleric Ahmad Khatami said the U.S. had purposely burned the Korans. These apologies are fake. The world should know that America is against Islam, he said in a speech broadcast live on state radio.It (the Koran burning) was not a mistake. It was an intentional move, done on purpose.Most Westerners have been confined to their heavily fortified compounds, including at the sprawling U.S. embassy complex and other diplomatic missions, as protests that have killed a total of 23 people, including two U.S. soldiers, rolled into their fourth day. The embassy, in a message on the microblogging site Twitter, urged U.S. citizens to please be safe out there and expanded movement restrictions to relatively peaceful northern provinces, where large demonstrations also occurred Thursday, including the attempted storming of a Norwegian military base.The Taliban urged Afghan security forces Thursday to turn their guns on the foreign infidel invaders and repeatedly urged Afghans to kill, beat and capture NATO soldiers.
Germany, which has the third-largest foreign presence in the NATO-led war, pulled out several weeks early of a small base in the northern Takhar province Friday over security concerns, a defense ministry spokesman said.(Additional reporting by Amira Mitri in TEHRAN, Imtiaz Shah in KARACHI, Sabine Siebold in BERLIN, Writing by Amie Ferris-Rotman; Editing by Michael Georgy and Ed Lane)
Expert Warns of Waqf's Dangerous Plans for Temple Mount-Archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar warns: The Waqf is planning to unite all the mosques on the Temple Mount into one.By Elad Benari First Publish: 2/24/2012, 4:14 AM
Archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar warned on Thursday about the plans of the Muslim religious authority, the Waqf, for the Temple Mount.Speaking to Arutz Sheva, Mazar said that for the past 12 years, the Waqf has constantly built on the Temple Mount in an attempt to implement its final plan: the establishment of a huge mosque on the Mount.There is no order there and no one to uphold the law, she said. No one can enforce the law there. Not the Israel Antiquities Authority, not the Nature and Parks Authority and not the city of Jerusalem. The police are there but they are precluded from enforcing.The Temple Mount was left in the hands of the Waqf following Jerusalem’s reunification in 1967, a decision of then-Defense Minister Moshe Dayan. The Waqf has taken advantage of this and removed every sign of ancient Jewish presence at the most Jewish holy site. At the entrance, a Waqf sign says, The Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyard and everything in it is Islamic property.Police, in an attempt to appease the Waqf, discriminate against Jews. They limit the number of Jewish worshippers allowed on the Temple Mount at one time in order to prevent conflict with Muslim worshippers. They often close the Mount to Jews in response to Muslim riots – despite evidence that Muslim riots have been planned in advance for the specific purpose of forcing Jews out.
Mazar, a member of a group of Israelis who work to prevent the destruction of antiquities on the Temple Mount, said that the State Comptroller wrote a report which exposed serious findings about Israeli authorities’ inability to enforce the law on the Temple Mount, but noted that the report has remained confidential to this day.The Comptroller produced a thorough report and questioned all the right people. He came to important conclusions which so far have not been published. Our group has demanded and continues to demand that the contents of the report be published.She warned that the excavations of antiquities being performed on the Temple Mount by the Waqf may lead to disaster.It has been going on for 12 years. They’re digging there as if it’s a construction site. There is a danger that the ground will collapse under thousands of Muslims. It endangers the safety of the people. There must be engineering control over this huge monument. Every stone on the Temple Mount may contain some of the most important antiquities in the world.Mazar added, I do not accept the argument that this could lead to a world war. The Temple Mount is at the center of Jerusalem. We’re not harming the Muslim rituals. We only want to enforce the law and order so that a disaster can be prevented. The Waqf cannot be trusted. If something collapses there the Western Wall may also be damaged, because the Temple Mount is on a round hill and its edges will be in danger.Mazar said the Waqf’s final plan is to unite all the mosques on the Temple Mount and create one big mosque. She added that it has been working for years to put the plan into practice and warned that if this happens, Jews will not be able to go to the Temple Mount.We know that the Waqf’s goal is to unite all one the mosques, and unfortunately today it is far from being just an illusion,she said.We will definitely weep over this plan in the future.
Senators Back Netanyahu in Pentagon Row-US Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham were quick back Israel in a growing rift with the Obama administration over Iran
By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 2/24/2012, 11:17 AM
US Senator John McCain backed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu this week in a growing divergence of views with Washington on how to confront Iran's nuclear program.On Tuesday, Netanyahu charged that US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey was unwilling to aid Israel in ensuring Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons.Netanyahu added that Dempsey's assertion a pre-emptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities would be destabilizing for peace talks and not prudent for America’s efforts served the Iranians.Dempsey added that a US-led attack would not resolve the matter and said that an immediate strike wouldn’t achieve their long-term objectives.Siding with Netanyahu, McCain told reporters in Jerusalem There should be no daylight between America and Israel in our assessment of the [Iranian] threat.Unfortunately there clearly is some, added the Senator.McCain's remarks came only hours after the he met with Netanyahu, who just previously charged Dempsey with serving the Iranians.McCain added differences between Washington and Jerusalem over Iran has caused significant tension, adding, there is very little doubt that Iran has so far been undeterred to get nuclear weapons.Senator Lindsey Graham, travelling in the region with McCain, told reporters obviously it’s not helpful if there is a well-publicized tension between the US and Israel. We would like to see the United States and Israel agree on course of action that will lead us toward a goal we both share.
People are giving Israel a lot of advice here lately from America, Graham said.I just want to tell our Israeli friends that my advice to you is never lose control of your destiny.Never allow a situation to develop that would destroy the Jewish state, he added.The International Atomic Energy Association published a 13-page report in November 2011 charging Iran with seeking nuclear technology of a military nation and systemically obstructing international inspectors.The report, citing intelligence reports from ten different member states, buttressed charges from Israel, the United States, its Western allies, and Gulf Arab nations that Iran is secretly pursuing nuclear weapons.US President Barack Obama has publicly backed sanctions and diplomacy while shying away from a military strike, leading Israeli officials to charge he is hesitant to take decisive action.Israeli officials, however, have said that when they say all options are on the table they mean it and that should Iran approach the immunity zone they will not hesitate to act.
Kofi Annan Appointed UN-Arab League Envoy for Syria-Former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan has been tapped to find an and to violence and peaceful solution for Syria's crisis.By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 2/24/2012, 2:52 PM
Former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan on Thursday was appointed to serve as the joint United Nations-Arab League envoy on the Syrian crisis.Annan's appointment was announced jointly by his successor, Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, and Arab League Secretary-General Nabeel Al Araby.The announcement said Annan carries a mandate to work to bring an end all violence and human rights violations, and promoting a peaceful solution to the Syrian crisis.It added Annan will work internationally and in Syria to bring a peaceful Syrian-led and inclusive political solution that meets the democratic aspirations of the Syrian people through a comprehensive political dialogue between the Syrian government and the whole spectrum of the Syrian opposition.Last week, the UN General Assembly asked Ban to support the Arab League's efforts to promote a peaceful solution to the crisis, including through appointment of a special envoy to Syria.Annan's appointment reportedly came after Ban failed to find a high-level Arab acceptable to both sides. Anan is a veteran mediator who, in 2001, was jointly awarded with United Nations (U.N.) he ran a Nobel Peace Prize for their work for a better organized and more peaceful world.Ban's decision to appoint Annan came the day before a major international conference in Tunisia, which is expected to gather together over 70 senior officials from nations and international organizations.The conference comes as forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad shells rebel-held areas of the central city of Homs for the 21'st straight day, with rights observers reporting hundreds have been killed.
Assad's brutal crackdown on anti-regime demonstrations has now been ongoing for over a year with rights groups estimating civilian deaths have risen past 7,300.However, UN Human Rights officials stopped trying to ascertain the civilian death toll in Syria in January due to the increasing instability and unrest. Their last official count was over 5,400.A major point of discussion at the conference between major powers is expected to be plugging Asian, Eastern European, and Russian loopholes in sanctions targeting Assad's regime.Both China and Russia, with billions of dollars in trade agreements tied to Assad's regimes, have repeatedly stymied international efforts to impose universal sanctions in the Security Council.Russia has said it will not attend Friday's conference.Annan, 73, served as the UN's secretary-general from 1997 to 2006. The UN he left behind was more aggressively engaged in peacekeeping and fighting poverty, but also marred by a scandal over the UN-run oil-for-food program for humanitarian relief in Iraq.He was also locked in a lengthy imbroglio with US officials and lawmakers who demanded reforms in the UN Secretariat aimed at achieving greater budgetary transparency and fiscal accountability.After leaving the UN, Annan was suggested as a candidate to be president in his native Ghana – a position he declined. He did however remain active in several African organizations.In 2008, Annan participated in negotiations to end civil unrest in Kenya following disputed elections and mediated agreement on a coalition government.
Iran rapidly expands sensitive nuclear work: IAEA
ReutersBy Fredrik Dahl | Reuters – FEB 24,12
VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran has sharply stepped up its controversial uranium enrichment drive, the United Nations' nuclear agency said on Friday in a report that will further inflame Israeli fears that the Islamic Republic is pushing ahead with an atomic weapons program.The U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also reported its failed mission to Tehran this week that aimed to get Iran to respond to allegations of research relevant for the development of nuclear weapons - a serious setback to the possible resumption of diplomatic talks.The Agency continues to have serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program, the Vienna-based U.N. body said in a quarterly report about Iran issued to its member states.Israel, which has threatened Iran with pre-emptive strikes on its nuclear sites, had no immediate comment on the report. Germany, which has backed tough new sanctions on Iran, said it was further cause for concern.Germany is very concerned about the latest report from the IAEA. We think Iran should understand the key to ending sanctions is in their own hands, they have a duty to cooperate with the international community, said German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle.
The Islamic Republic's rapid expansion of work which can have both civilian and military purposes underlines that it has no intention of backing down in a long-running row with the West that has sparked fears of war in the Middle East.
Tehran says its nuclear program is exclusively for civilian purposes and denies it aims to make atomic weapons.The confidential IAEA report said Iran has, since late last year, tripled output of uranium refined to a level that brings it significantly closer to potential bomb material, an official familiar with the agency's probe said.
Making clear the two sides were far apart, it said there were major differences on how to tackle the issue and that Iran had dismissed the IAEA's concerns as unfounded. No further meetings are planned.The setback increased concerns of a downward spiral towards conflict between Iran and the West, and sent oil prices higher.IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano urged Iran in the report to provide early access to Parchin, a military site near Tehran seen as central to the agency's investigations into possible military aspects of Iran's nuclear work.The failure of the two-day IAEA visit could hamper any resumption of wider nuclear negotiations between Iran and six world powers - the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany - as the sense grows that Tehran feels it is being backed into a corner.The IAEA report said Iran had carried out a significant expansion of activities at its main enrichment plant near the central city of Natanz, and also increased work at the Fordow underground facility.Enriched uranium can be used to fuel nuclear power plants, which is Iran's stated aim, or provide material for bombs if refined much further, which the West suspects is Tehran's ultimate plan.At Natanz, the IAEA report said 52 cascades - each containing around 170 centrifuges - were now operating, up from 37 in November.At Fordow, almost 700 centrifuges are now refining uranium to a fissile concentration of 20 percent and preparations are under way to install many more, the report said.
PROTECTION
Fordow is of particular concern for the West and Israel as Iran is shifting the most sensitive aspect of its nuclear work - refining uranium to a level that takes it significantly closer to potential bomb material - to the site.Estimated to be buried beneath 80 meters (265 feet) of rock and soil, it gives Iran better protection against any Israeli or U.S. military strikes.The report said Iran had now produced nearly 110 kg of uranium enriched to 20 percent since early 2010. Western experts say about 250 kg is needed for a nuclear weapon, although it would need to be enriched much further.An IAEA report in November suggested Iran had pursued military nuclear technology helped to precipitate the latest sanctions by the European Union and United States.Iran last month said it had started to refine uranium to a fissile concentration of 20 percent - compared with the 3.5 percent it mainly produces at Natanz and which is used for nuclear power plants - at Fordow.Nuclear bombs require uranium enriched to 90 percent, but Western experts say much of the effort required to get there is already achieved once it reaches 20 percent concentration, shortening the time needed for any nuclear weapons break-out.(Reporting by Fredrik Dahl; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)
Medical evacuation of women, children from Homs underway: ICRC ReutersBy Lin Noueihed and John Irish | Reuters – FEB 24,12
TUNIS (Reuters) - The Syrian Arab Red Crescent began evacuating wounded or sick women and children from the Baba Amro district of the besieged city of Homs on Friday as international pressure mounted on the Syrian government to open the country up to humanitarian aid.The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said the evacuation was underway after Syrian Arab Red Crescent ambulances had entered Baba Amro. It's a first step forward, ICRC chief spokeswoman Carla Haddad told Reuters in Geneva.News of the evacuation came as Gulf Arab nations meeting in Tunis pushed for more forceful intervention against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the United States warned he would have even more blood on his hands if he blocked aid to stricken civilian areas.Speaking at the meeting called to escalate pressure on Assad over his crackdown on 11 months of protests, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Feisal said he supported arming the rebels.I think it's an excellent idea, he said at the start of a meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who warned Assad would pay a heavy price for the violence in Syria.
If the Assad regime refuses to allow this life-saving aid to reach civilians, it will have even more blood on its hands, Clinton said in prepared remarks for the meeting.So too will those nations that continue to protect and arm the regime.With the bombardment of opposition-held neighborhoods in Homs entering its fourth week on Friday, the city has become the most internationally known focus of the violent crackdown on opposition in Syria.Opposition activists said earlier on Friday that Syrian government artillery fire killed five people.Baba Amro is being hit with 122mm artillery directed at it from surrounding villages. A father and his 14-year-old son were among those killed. They were trying to flee the shelling when shrapnel hit them in the street, Mohammad al-Homsi said.The International Committee of the Red Cross, which had been negotiating with Syrian officials and opposition forces in Homs for an evacuation of all sick and wounded in need of help, gave no further details of its operation.ICRC spokeswoman Carla Haddad said there was no immediate information from the humanitarian agency's teams on the ground as to whether wounded foreign journalists were among them.French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe had said the Red Cross and the governor of Homs were working to evacuate the foreign journalists stranded in the city.Activists also said Syrian security forces lined up and shot dead at least 18 people in a village in the central western Hama province. A video uploaded by activists showed people wrapping the bloodied bodies of children and at least four adults. Several had been shot through the head.
ARAB/UN FORCE
At the meeting in Tunis, Qatar's Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani said an Arab force should be created to impose peace and open humanitarian corridors in Syria.He was addressing the first gathering of the Friends of Syria group, more than 50 countries who met amid mounting world outrage over violence that has claimed thousands of lives during the uprising.An updated draft declaration from the meeting called on Syria to immediately cease all violence to allow the United Nations access to Homs, and to let agencies deliver aid to civilians affected by the violence.The Friends of Syria pledged, in the latest version of the draft seen by Reuters, to deliver humanitarian supplies within 48 hours if Syria's government stopped its assault on civilian areas and permitted access.With moves for tough action against Syria in the U.N. Security Council stymied by Russian and Chinese vetoes and a lack of appetite for military action to end Assad's crackdown, delegates in Tunis have limited options.The head of the main opposition Syrian National Council (SNC) expressed disappointment in the Tunis meeting. This conference does not meet the aspirations of the Syrian people,SNC chief Burhan Ghalioun told Reuters.But in a sign the international community is seeking ways around the Security Council deadlock, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he would dispatch former U.N. chief Kofi Annan to Syria as a joint U.N.-Arab League envoy.And in a blow to Assad, the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas turned publically against their long-time ally on Friday. I salute the heroic people of Syria who are striving for freedom democracy and reform,Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said.
The exiled political leadership of Hamas, based in Damascus for over a decade, quietly quit the Syrian capital recently but had tried to deny their absence had anything to do with the revolt.One Syrian opposition source said that although no country had yet decided to arm the rebels, foreign powers were turning a blind eye to weapons purchases by Syrian exiles smuggling in light arms, communications equipment and night vision goggles.Syrian opposition supporters were also trying to bring anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons to the Free Syrian Army rebels, and to get retired Syrian officers into the country to help coordinate military opposition to Assad.
HARSH REALITIES
The draft communiqué did not mention any foreign military intervention along the lines of the NATO bombing campaign that helped force out Libya's Muammar Gaddafi.
Instead, it called for further diplomatic pressure on Assad to step down and endorsed an Arab League plan that sees him handing power to a deputy as a prelude to elections.The group will also commit to enforce sanctions aimed at pressuring Syrian authorities to halt violence, according to the draft declaration.These include travel bans, asset freezes, a halt to purchases of Syrian oil, ceasing infrastructure investment and financial services relating to Syria, reducing diplomatic ties and preventing arms shipments to the Syrian government.Juppe said the European Union, which has already imposed sanctions on Syrian officials, businesses and oil exports, would freeze assets of the Syrian Central Bank from Monday.But the wording of the Tunis draft reflected a harsh reality: there is little the world can do to stop the violence as long as Russia and China, both of which declined invitations to the Tunis meeting, reject Security Council resolutions.
Another problem for world powers is divisions in the Syrian opposition. While the SNC attended the Tunis talks the mainly Syrian-based National Coordination Body declined to take part.(Additional reporting by Stephanie Nebehay in Geneva, Dominic Evans in Beirut, Khaled Oweis in Amman and Arshad Mohammed in Tunis; Writing by Myra MacDonald; Editing by Dominic Evans)

How the U.S. Could Pressure North Korea Tomorrow: Quit the $100 Bill Time.comBy DAVID WOLMAN | Time.com – FEB 24,12
U.S. negotiators are heading into a second day of what have been dubbed serious and substantial talks with North Korean officials. Yet amidst all the discussion of how the U.S. will attempt to work with Kim Jon-un, there has been little (open) speculation as to whether Dear Leader Junior might crank up production of $100 and $50 bills. No, not North Korean 100- or 50-won banknotes, worth about as much as old tissues. I'm talking about fake greenbacks -- or, as the U.S. Secret Service has dubbed them, superdollars.These ultra-counterfeits are light years beyond the weak facsimiles produced by most forgers, who use desktop printers. As an anti-counterfeiting investigator with Europol once put it: Superdollars are just U.S. dollars not made by the U.S. government. With few exceptions, only Federal Reserve banks equipped with the fanciest detection gear can identify these fakes.Yet as unpatriotic as this may sound, perhaps America would be better off if Kim Jong-un were to try and enrich himself with D-I-Y Benjamins. Let me explain, by way of a little background about superdollars.(MORE: Can a Second Bailout Save Greece?)
The super moniker does not stem from any particular talent on the part of the North Koreans. It's a matter of equipment. The regime apparently possesses the same kind of intaglio printing press (or presses) used by the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing. A leading theory is that in 1989, just before the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the machines made their way to North Korea from a clandestine facility in East Germany, where they were used to make fake passports and other secret documents. The high-tech paper is just about the same as what's used to make authentic dollars, and the North Koreans buy their ink from the same Swiss firm that supplies the US government with ink for greenbacks.Forging $100 bills obviously gels with the regime's febrile anti-Americanism and its aim to undercut U.S. global power, in this case by sowing doubts about our currency. State level counterfeiting is a kind of slow-motion violence committed against an enemy, and it has been tried many times before. During the Revolutionary War, the British printed fake Continentals to undermine the fragile colonial currency. Napoleon counterfeited Russian notes during the Napoleonic Wars, and during World War II the Germans forced a handful of artists and printing experts in Block 19 of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp to produce fake U.S. dollars and British pounds sterling. (Their story is the basis for the 2007 film The Counterfeiters, winner of the 2007 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.)Superdollars can be viewed as an act of economic warfare, but Pyongyang's motive is probably more mundane: The regime is broke. The 2009 attempt to raise funds by devaluing its already pathetic currency revealed not only the country's fiscal desperation, but also the abuse Dear Leader was willing to inflict on his people. The won was devalued by 100 percent, which meant 1,000 won suddenly had the purchasing power of 10 won. (Imagine waking up to a learn that a slice of pizza costs $250.) Officials set a tight limit on how much old money could be exchanged for new, so whatever value existed within people's paltry savings evaporated overnight. Compared to devaluation, generating quick cash by counterfeiting some other country's more stable currency looks downright humanitarian.(MORE: TIME's Interview With Warren Buffett)
The superdollar affair has a certain comic-book quality: copying the currency of the evil capitalists so you can buy cognac and missiles. But Washington isn't laughing. At the end of December, Ireland's high court rejected a U.S. request to extradite former Workers Party president and IRA veteran, Sean Garland, for his alleged involvement with the superdollar plot. There is also the question of what exactly the North Koreans hope to procure with all of this money. According to the House Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, superdollars may be part of the regime's effort to acquire materials for nuclear weapons.Since the superdollars were first detected about a decade ago, the regime has been pocketing an estimated $15 to $25 million a year from them. (Other estimates are much higher -- up to several hundred million dollars' worth.) That sounds like a lot of money, but compared to the $1 trillion in cash circulating in the great ocean of commerce, a few hundred million is chump change. Although certainly costly for small business owners who unknowingly accept a bunch of forgeries, counterfeits probably won't bring about a crisis of faith in our paper money anytime soon.Yet taking the long view, maybe a rash of new superdollars from the hermetic regime of Kim Jong-un would be beneficial. How so? Because counterfeits have a way of reminding people of what material money is and how it functions, and that could lead to a discussion of its pros and cons. Cash is, and always has been, such an uncontested part of everyday life that we rarely stop to consider its toll on society as the currency of crime, to say nothing of the heaping expense of printing, transporting, securing, inspecting, shredding, redesigning, reprinting, re-inspecting, and redistributing it ad nauseum, plus the broader costs of prosecuting and incarcerating the thousands, if not millions, of people who commit cash-related crimes. That's not to suggest we could get rid of paper money tomorrow; we still don't have a substitute that's equally convenient, universally accepted, and adequately secure. But that day may be closer than you think. (Coins, however, we could -- and should -- do away with. As in, right now.)(MORE: Google Takes Another Experimental Step Toward Delivering TV)
Superdollars, and the untold billions of (electronic) dollars spent combating them could be the wake-up call that finally forces us to think more clearly about the costs of physical money. If killing all cash strikes you as a little too radical, consider for a moment what it would mean to get rid of high-denomination banknotes. Who would be most inconvenienced if Washington were to outlaw $100 and $50 bills tomorrow? Cartel bosses in Juarez, Mexico jump to mind. So do human traffickers in China and Africa, aspiring terrorists in Afghanistan, wildlife poachers, arms dealers, tax evaders, and everyday crooks who hold up mom and pop groceries. And, or course, North Korean government officials.So then. At the risk of infuriating cash-hoarding militia members, anonymity-obsessed ACLU'ers, the U.S. Treasury, Russian mob, Laundromat owners, and just about every person who has ever hid a purchase from a spouse or income from the government, I would say this to Kim Jong-un and his posse of counterfeiters: Bring it.

Virginia House Passes NDAA-Nullifying Bill; Other States Join Fight |Written by Joe Wolverton, II Monday, 20 February 2012 09:10
The sovereign states are courageously asserting their constitutionally protected right to self-determination by standing up to the federal government and refusing to execute the most noxious provisions of the recently enacted National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).Evidence of this laudable resistance to federal tyranny was most recently found in the Old Dominion, where on February 14 an impressive majority (96 out of 100 members) of the Virginia House of Delegates passed HB 1160, a bill that prohibits agents of the state government from assisting an agency of the armed forces of the United States in the conduct of the investigation, prosecution, or detention of a citizen in violation of the United States Constitution, the Constitution of Virginia, or any Virginia law or regulation.The bill was sponsored by committed constitutionalist Virginia Delegate Bob Marshall. When asked by The New American what prompted him to author this legislation, Marshall referred to his oath to uphold the U.S. and Virginia Constitutions. They say this law [the NDAA] is designed to fight terrorists. You don't defeat terrorists by adopting their tactics.I will be faithful to my calling to stand against these predators who would sell their birthright for a mess of pottage,he added.
The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.These words were written by the Father of the Constitution, James Madison. Marshall certainly understands this principle as he is also the author of the Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act, which nullified ObamaCare in his state.Delegate Marshall’s bill is the first measure in the nation that is based on the Liberty Preservation Act. This model legislation (a copy of which is available from the Tenth Amendment Center) is designed to block the enforcement of the provisions of the NDAA authorizing the apprehension and indefinite detention of citizens of the United States.
The Liberty Preservation Act calls upon state legislatures to declare Sections 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA to be
inimical to the liberty, security and well-being of the people of (STATE), and [that the NDAA] was adopted by the United States Congress in violation of the limits of federal power in the United States Constitution.Speaking of the inestimable work of the Tenth Amendment Center in the fight against the NDAA, that organization’s communication’s director, Mike Maherry said:Most Americans recognize that the federal government rarely, if ever, relinquishes power once it grasps it. So state and local governments are taking James Madison’s words to heart and interposing on behalf of their citizens.The very fact that so many legal experts come up with so many diverse readings of those NDAA sections should give us all pause,he said. The language is vague and undefined. Are we really going to trust the judgment and good intentions of Pres. Obama or whichever Republican sits in the White House to protect us? That seems like a pretty bad plan.In what is music to the ears of constitutionalists, other state and local governments are joining the chorus decrying federal despotism.In Arizona, the Border Security, Federalism and States Sovereignty Committee of the state Senate passed a resolution that is on track to be taken up by the entire Senate. The bill (SB 1182), introduced by Senator Sylvia Allen, prohibits this state and agencies of this state from participating in the implementation of Sections 1021 and 1022 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2012 and classifies the act of attempting to enforce or enforcing these sections as a class 1 misdemeanor.
As The New American has reported, lawmakers in Tennessee and Washington have already proposed legislation thwarting the federal government’s attempt to enforce the NDAA at the state level — that is to say, nullifying an unconstitutional act of the federal government.A tally kept by the Tenth Amendment Center of state and local authorities standing up to the federal government and its never-ending quest to quash states’ rights records that:Six local governments have passed resolutions condemning sections 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA. Earlier this week, the Town Council of Macomb, N.Y. unanimously passed a resolution, and Fairfax, Calif. approved a similar resolution 4-1. On Wednesday, New Shoreham, R.I. also passed a resolution opposing NDAA detention.Basically, nullification is the principle that each state retains the right to nullify, or invalidate, any federal law that a state deems unconstitutional. Nullification is founded on the assertion that the sovereign states formed the union, and as creators of the compact, they hold ultimate authority as to the limits of the power of the central government to enact laws that are applicable to the states and the citizens thereof.Under the provisions of Section 1021 of the NDAA, the President is afforded the absolute power to arrest and detain citizens of the United States without their being informed of any criminal charges, without a trial on the merits of those charges, and without a scintilla of the due process safeguards protected by the Constitution of the United States.
Further, in order to execute the provisions of Section 1021 described in the previous paragraph, subsequent clauses (Section 1022, for example) unlawfully give the President the absolute and unquestionable authority to deploy the armed forces of the United States to apprehend and to indefinitely detain those suspected of threatening the security of the homeland. In the language of this legislation, these people are called covered persons.The universe of potential covered persons includes every citizen of the United States of America. Any American could one day find himself or herself branded a belligerent and thus subject to the complete confiscation of his or her constitutional civil liberties and nearly never-ending incarceration in a military prison.While every effort by the states to use the sword of sovereignty to force the federal government back behind the lines of power drawn for it in the Constitution is commendable and should be encouraged, there are those fighting for this same cause who see trouble with the versions of NDAA nullification bills being considered by state lawmakers in Washington and Virginia.Richard Fry, the general counsel for the Patriot Coalition, a group committed to restoring the power structure established by our Constitution, penned the following criticism of the two proposals mentioned above.The only way to nullify a government action directed at citizens is for the state to interpose its authority and protections between the federal government and its citizens. That is to say, for the state to act as a direct shield and a buffer against the actions of the federal government. Generally the only way to do this is for the state to criminalize the action by the federal government such that if the federal government tries to enforce the law within the subject nullifying state or a state officer attempts to assist the federal government they are subject to criminal penalties.Neither the Virginia nor the Washington [bill] criminalize[s] anything. Without punishment or penalty there really is no law. While Mr. Fry’s assessment is accurate and his legal distinctions are inarguably insightful, some solace for the friends of liberty is found in the efforts of states to oppose Washington, D.C.'s unconstitutional dictates.
Smart Meter Radiation Risks
Posted by: Vidya, Editor FEB 24,12
smart meter health concernsAre Smart Meters health hazards? Smart Meter radiation emissions are both greater in volume and more frequent than PG&E admits, according to more and more independent EMF specialists measuring them. And consumers are getting concerned.
What Are Smart Meters?
Smart Meters are electric and gas meter reading devices being installed all over the US as a first step in creating a national smart grid. Designed to enhance energy efficiency and make widespread adoption of renewable energy easier, Smart Meters are radio transmitters that communicate data from homes and businesses to the gas and electric company through a matrix of radio signals. They allow people to measure and monitor their own energy consumption in order to reduce it.
Controversy about Smart Meters
Large groups of citizens are complaining that their Smart Meters are over-billing them. Public meetings are being held over the country to discuss this, and many cities have come out in favor of a smart Meter moratorium until the issue is resolved.
Smart Meters Health Risks
But now there are growing numbers of activists who are protesting against Smart Meters for another reason. They contend that the radio frequency (RF) Smart Meters emit is harmful to human health. People living with the meters are claiming mild to severe symptoms that are all over the board: Concentration and memory problems, dizziness, tinnitus, heart palpitations, headaches, sleep disruptions, nausea, anxiety and behavioral problems in children.People are especially concerned about certain groups who are vulnerable to Smart Meter health risks, such as children (who absorb radiation at a greater rate than adults), electrosensitive people, people with pacemakers, and chronically ill people whose immune systems are compromised.
Unclear Answers about Smart Meter Radiation Levels
PG&E seems to be unable to give consistent, believable answers about either how frequently Smart Meter radiation is emitted—or what the peak power is of the radiation signal at certain distances. Some representative say the meters transmit RF six times a day; others, once an hour. Independent RF specialists have measured them every 45 seconds, or even twice in a minute.As for peak power of Smart Meter radiation signals, there is even more confusion. PG&E maintains that the RF transmissions are well within FCC standards, that they transmit data for only a fraction of a second and are far weaker than other everyday radio frequency emitters, such as cell phones, cell towers and Wi-Fi.Putting aside for a moment the debate over the safety of even these everyday RF emitters, there’s reason to doubt these assurances from PG&E that Smart Meters are safer than these other devices. Independent environmental EMF consultants have found that peak pulses are far greater in intensity than the average pulse that many utility companies claim—sometimes up to 1000 times more powerful than a cell phone.(1) Because of the skewed and inaccurate way in which they figure the number of pulses per minutes, their figures of an average pulse is greatly reduced.Indeed, assurances of utility companies are reminiscent of promises that have been made over the years by plastics and chemical manufacturers who initially claimed that what they were producing was safe.
Thermal and Non-Thermal Effects of Smart Meter Radiation
But aside from any of this, what’s important to understand is that the FCC safety standards are based only on thermal effects of radiation, meaning: How high can radiation go before the body tissues start cooking? Research has shown that the thermal effects of microwave radiation are not the only effects to be worried about. There are also non-thermal effects of RF that are very concerning.One of the most informative reports written on the subject is the Bioinitiative Report of 2007. Authored by 15 scientists, researchers and health policy professionals, this report clearly documents evidence that numerous health problems are created by exposure to RF, including DNA breakage and cancer—and this, at levels far below the FCC standards. The report is recognized by the European Parliament, the European Environment Agency, and the Breast Cancer Fund, among others.The World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Toxicology Program have also studied the effects RF on human health. Their updated results are that, among other things, RF can significantly increase the risk of a glioma, a deadly brain tumor.
Protection Against Smart Meters Health Risks
There are no warning signs about health risks that come with a Smart Meter. And at this point, you can’t opt out. But it seems advisable, that if you have been suffering from any unexplainable ailments since the installation of your Smart Meter, you might want to look into finding protection against the RF emitted by the meter.
EarthCalm’s Solution
EarthCalm has a highly effective solution for preventing health risks from Smart Meters: the Scalar Home EMF Protection System. This product not only provides protection against EMFs coming from your Smart Meter, but also from those emanating from your electrical grid and all your appliances, as well.

Stores To Use Facial Recognition Technology and Tracking To Increase Sales-Privacy advocates concerned when faces and names are matched FEB 24,12
ORLANDO, Fla. - A decade ago, in the Dreamworks movie Minority Report, billboards spoke directly to the characters in the movie and even knew their names. In just weeks, that science fiction plot will become reality as some businesses in Central Florida will know who you are when you walk through their door.What was once the private domain of conspiracy theorists is now everyday life on Mainstreet, USA
It’s thanks to enhanced facial recognition technology.It’s not unusual to see surveillance cameras. They’re inside businesses, outside of homes, even on the streets. In public places, people are comfortable with knowing those cameras are there for safety, but this new technology allows cameras to not just see what people do, but know who they are.Shops and malls across the country are already taking this a step further. There are now billboards, made by Immersive Labs in Manhattan, and kiosks that cater ads to your age and demographic.
For example, if a woman was to walk up to a mall directory, a camera inside would take a photo. It will recognize her gender, age and race and instantly provide an ad for the appropriate products. So, if the shopper is a 30-year-old woman, she might see adds for makeup, shoes and clothing.Industry expert Rafe Needleman believes it’s just a matter of time before stores not only to recognize you, but track your spending habits. When you walk into a store, it might know who you are just when you walk in and give you deals based on past purchases,said Needleman.But not everyone wants to be recognized.And the Federal Trade Commission worries about the time when technology becomes so advanced that your social media profiles are scraped for information.Retailers would then have a face, name and maybe much more.It’s not out of the question that 10 years from now we’ll walk down the street and people will be wearing camouflage so they’re not picked up by facial recognition trackers all over the place, said Mark Eichorn of the FTC.In fact, researchers with Carnegie Mellon University used facial recognition technology to identify college students who volunteered to be photographed for their study. By taking those photos and comparing them to photos found on social networking sites, such as Facebook, they were able to identify almost a third of them. That means they had profiles, likes, interests and possibly family information.Researchers took the study a step further and used other publicly available data to predict partial Social Security numbers. As for the technology in use now, retailers say they are not saving the photos or the information that is attached to the pictures. They say they’re simply using the information to serve you better. Banks are using it to identify customers and prevent fraud. Hotels are using it to know when honor program guests arrive.This spring, bars in Gainesville will begin using cameras that will do more than just capture the faces of the people inside. The technology will also determine their gender and age. Using an app called SceneTap on their smartphone, potential patrons can use that data before deciding whether to go inside.Bars in Orlando and Miami may begin using the software by the end of this year.
Report: More Than 100,000 Americans Are Domestic Terrorists-Concerns over martial law in America on a par with Islamic extremism Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Friday, February 24, 2012
An L.A. Times report which characterizes the Sovereign Citizen movement as a major threat on a par with Islamic extremism infers that more than 100,00 Americans are domestic terrorists as a result of their affiliation with the group.The article, entitled Sovereign citizen movement now on FBI’s radar, frames the belief that the U.S. is essentially under martial law,along with support for reintroducing the gold standard, as political views indicative of violent extremism.The report quotes Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, who in one fell swoop demonizes more than 100,00 Americans as domestic terrorists.This is a movement that has absolutely exploded,said Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit organization based in Montgomery, Ala., that tracks domestic terrorists and hate groups. More than 100,000 Americans have aligned themselves with the sovereign citizens, the center said.Potok specializes in seizing upon tragedies to push his organization’s political agenda. Immediately after the shooting of US Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Potok took to the airwaves to blame the attempted assassination on the radical right, when the shooter, Jared Loughner, was described by those who knew him as a left-wing pothead.Potok has been described as the Boy Who Cried Right-Wing Terrorist because of his obsession with exploiting almost every act of violence to impugn conservatives.The fact that he is consistently wrong about, well, just about everything — from the political views of the supposed right wingers to the supposedly violent nature of conservative groups to the mere presence of violent crime — does not seem to dissuade Old Media from using him to smear conservatives,explains Lachlan Markay.The SPLC makes tens of millions of dollars every year demonizing politically active Americans as domestic terrorists, making it the most profitable civil rights charity in America, and yet the establishment media continues to treat the organization and its mouthpieces like Potok as impartial observers.
Of course, any political group with such a substantial membership is bound to contain a smattering of crazies – the report claims members of the Sovereign Citizen movement have killed six police officers over the course of the last 12 years – but to demonize over 100,000 Americans as violent terrorists on a par with Al-Qaeda because they express concerns about the militarization of law enforcement is clearly asinine.Unfortunately, it’s now par for the course.Despite the fact that the federal government was forced to back down on framing Ron Paul supporters, libertarians, people who display bumper stickers, people who own gold, or even people who fly a U.S. flag, as terrorists under the infamous MIAC report, the rush to denounce legitimate political beliefs as thought crimes, or even mundane behaviors, by insinuating they are shared by terrorists, has accelerated in recent months.Under the FBI’s Communities Against Terrorism program, the bulk purchase of food is labeled as a potential indication of terrorist activity, as is using cash to pay for a cup of coffee, and showing an interest in web privacy when using the Internet in a public place.As we have documented on numerous occasions, the federal government routinely characterizes mundane behavior as extremist activity or a potential indicator of terrorist intent. As part of its See Something, Say Something campaign, the Department of Homeland Security educates the public that generic activities performed by millions of people every day, 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, are all potential signs of terrorist activity.

Virginia House Passes NDAA-Nullifying Bill; Other States Join Fight |Written by Joe Wolverton, II Monday, 20 February 2012 09:10
The sovereign states are courageously asserting their constitutionally protected right to self-determination by standing up to the federal government and refusing to execute the most noxious provisions of the recently enacted National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).Evidence of this laudable resistance to federal tyranny was most recently found in the Old Dominion, where on February 14 an impressive majority (96 out of 100 members) of the Virginia House of Delegates passed HB 1160, a bill that prohibits agents of the state government from assisting an agency of the armed forces of the United States in the conduct of the investigation, prosecution, or detention of a citizen in violation of the United States Constitution, the Constitution of Virginia, or any Virginia law or regulation.The bill was sponsored by committed constitutionalist Virginia Delegate Bob Marshall.

Any American could one day find himself or herself branded a belligerent and thus subject to the complete confiscation of his or her constitutional civil liberties and nearly never-ending incarceration in a military prison.While every effort by the states to use the sword of sovereignty to force the federal government back behind the lines of power drawn for it in the Constitution is commendable and should be encouraged, there are those fighting for this same cause who see trouble with the versions of NDAA nullification bills being considered by state lawmakers in Washington and Virginia.Richard Fry, the general counsel for the Patriot Coalition, a group committed to restoring the power structure established by our Constitution, penned the following criticism of the two proposals mentioned above.The only way to nullify a government action directed at citizens is for the state to interpose its authority and protections between the federal government and its citizens. That is to say, for the state to act as a direct shield and a buffer against the actions of the federal government. Generally the only way to do this is for the state to criminalize the action by the federal government such that if the federal government tries to enforce the law within the subject nullifying state or a state officer attempts to assist the federal government they are subject to criminal penalties.Neither the Virginia nor the Washington [bill] criminalize[s] anything. Without punishment or penalty there really is no law. While Mr. Fry’s assessment is accurate and his legal distinctions are inarguably insightful, some solace for the friends of liberty is found in the efforts of states to oppose Washington, D.C.'s unconstitutional dictates.
Smart Meter Radiation Risks

smart meter health concernsAre Smart Meters health hazards? Smart Meter radiation emissions are both greater in volume and more frequent than PG&E admits, according to more and more independent EMF specialists measuring them. And consumers are getting concerned.
What Are Smart Meters?
Smart Meters are electric and gas meter reading devices being installed all over the US as a first step in creating a national smart grid. Designed to enhance energy efficiency and make widespread adoption of renewable energy easier, Smart Meters are radio transmitters that communicate data from homes and businesses to the gas and electric company through a matrix of radio signals. They allow people to measure and monitor their own energy consumption in order to reduce it.
Controversy about Smart Meters
Large groups of citizens are complaining that their Smart Meters are over-billing them. Public meetings are being held over the country to discuss this, and many cities have come out in favor of a smart Meter moratorium until the issue is resolved.
Smart Meters Health Risks
But now there are growing numbers of activists who are protesting against Smart Meters for another reason. They contend that the radio frequency (RF) Smart Meters emit is harmful to human health. People living with the meters are claiming mild to severe symptoms that are all over the board: Concentration and memory problems, dizziness, tinnitus, heart palpitations, headaches, sleep disruptions, nausea, anxiety and behavioral problems in children.People are especially concerned about certain groups who are vulnerable to Smart Meter health risks, such as children (who absorb radiation at a greater rate than adults), electrosensitive people, people with pacemakers, and chronically ill people whose immune systems are compromised.
Unclear Answers about Smart Meter Radiation Levels
PG&E seems to be unable to give consistent, believable answers about either how frequently Smart Meter radiation is emitted—or what the peak power is of the radiation signal at certain distances. Some representative say the meters transmit RF six times a day; others, once an hour. Independent RF specialists have measured them every 45 seconds, or even twice in a minute.As for peak power of Smart Meter radiation signals, there is even more confusion. PG&E maintains that the RF transmissions are well within FCC standards, that they transmit data for only a fraction of a second and are far weaker than other everyday radio frequency emitters, such as cell phones, cell towers and Wi-Fi.Putting aside for a moment the debate over the safety of even these everyday RF emitters, there’s reason to doubt these assurances from PG&E that Smart Meters are safer than these other devices. Independent environmental EMF consultants have found that peak pulses are far greater in intensity than the average pulse that many utility companies claim—sometimes up to 1000 times more powerful than a cell phone.(1) Because of the skewed and inaccurate way in which they figure the number of pulses per minutes, their figures of an average pulse is greatly reduced.Indeed, assurances of utility companies are reminiscent of promises that have been made over the years by plastics and chemical manufacturers who initially claimed that what they were producing was safe.
Thermal and Non-Thermal Effects of Smart Meter Radiation
But aside from any of this, what’s important to understand is that the FCC safety standards are based only on thermal effects of radiation, meaning: How high can radiation go before the body tissues start cooking? Research has shown that the thermal effects of microwave radiation are not the only effects to be worried about. There are also non-thermal effects of RF that are very concerning.One of the most informative reports written on the subject is the Bioinitiative Report of 2007. Authored by 15 scientists, researchers and health policy professionals, this report clearly documents evidence that numerous health problems are created by exposure to RF, including DNA breakage and cancer—and this, at levels far below the FCC standards. The report is recognized by the European Parliament, the European Environment Agency, and the Breast Cancer Fund, among others.The World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Toxicology Program have also studied the effects RF on human health. Their updated results are that, among other things, RF can significantly increase the risk of a glioma, a deadly brain tumor.
Protection Against Smart Meters Health Risks
There are no warning signs about health risks that come with a Smart Meter. And at this point, you can’t opt out. But it seems advisable, that if you have been suffering from any unexplainable ailments since the installation of your Smart Meter, you might want to look into finding protection against the RF emitted by the meter.

Stores To Use Facial Recognition Technology and Tracking To Increase Sales-Privacy advocates concerned when faces and names are matched FEB 24,12
ORLANDO, Fla. - A decade ago, in the Dreamworks movie Minority Report, billboards spoke directly to the characters in the movie and even knew their names. In just weeks, that science fiction plot will become reality as some businesses in Central Florida will know who you are when you walk through their door.What was once the private domain of conspiracy theorists is now everyday life on Mainstreet, USA
It’s thanks to enhanced facial recognition technology.It’s not unusual to see surveillance cameras. They’re inside businesses, outside of homes, even on the streets. In public places, people are comfortable with knowing those cameras are there for safety, but this new technology allows cameras to not just see what people do, but know who they are.Shops and malls across the country are already taking this a step further. There are now billboards, made by Immersive Labs in Manhattan, and kiosks that cater ads to your age and demographic.
For example, if a woman was to walk up to a mall directory, a camera inside would take a photo. It will recognize her gender, age and race and instantly provide an ad for the appropriate products. So, if the shopper is a 30-year-old woman, she might see adds for makeup, shoes and clothing.Industry expert Rafe Needleman believes it’s just a matter of time before stores not only to recognize you, but track your spending habits. When you walk into a store, it might know who you are just when you walk in and give you deals based on past purchases,said Needleman.But not everyone wants to be recognized.And the Federal Trade Commission worries about the time when technology becomes so advanced that your social media profiles are scraped for information.Retailers would then have a face, name and maybe much more.It’s not out of the question that 10 years from now we’ll walk down the street and people will be wearing camouflage so they’re not picked up by facial recognition trackers all over the place, said Mark Eichorn of the FTC.In fact, researchers with Carnegie Mellon University used facial recognition technology to identify college students who volunteered to be photographed for their study. By taking those photos and comparing them to photos found on social networking sites, such as Facebook, they were able to identify almost a third of them. That means they had profiles, likes, interests and possibly family information.Researchers took the study a step further and used other publicly available data to predict partial Social Security numbers. As for the technology in use now, retailers say they are not saving the photos or the information that is attached to the pictures. They say they’re simply using the information to serve you better. Banks are using it to identify customers and prevent fraud. Hotels are using it to know when honor program guests arrive.This spring, bars in Gainesville will begin using cameras that will do more than just capture the faces of the people inside. The technology will also determine their gender and age. Using an app called SceneTap on their smartphone, potential patrons can use that data before deciding whether to go inside.Bars in Orlando and Miami may begin using the software by the end of this year.
Report: More Than 100,000 Americans Are Domestic Terrorists-Concerns over martial law in America on a par with Islamic extremism Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Friday, February 24, 2012
An L.A. Times report which characterizes the Sovereign Citizen movement as a major threat on a par with Islamic extremism infers that more than 100,00 Americans are domestic terrorists as a result of their affiliation with the group.The article, entitled Sovereign citizen movement now on FBI’s radar, frames the belief that the U.S. is essentially under martial law,along with support for reintroducing the gold standard, as political views indicative of violent extremism.The report quotes Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, who in one fell swoop demonizes more than 100,00 Americans as domestic terrorists.This is a movement that has absolutely exploded,said Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit organization based in Montgomery, Ala., that tracks domestic terrorists and hate groups. More than 100,000 Americans have aligned themselves with the sovereign citizens, the center said.Potok specializes in seizing upon tragedies to push his organization’s political agenda. Immediately after the shooting of US Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Potok took to the airwaves to blame the attempted assassination on the radical right, when the shooter, Jared Loughner, was described by those who knew him as a left-wing pothead.Potok has been described as the Boy Who Cried Right-Wing Terrorist because of his obsession with exploiting almost every act of violence to impugn conservatives.The fact that he is consistently wrong about, well, just about everything — from the political views of the supposed right wingers to the supposedly violent nature of conservative groups to the mere presence of violent crime — does not seem to dissuade Old Media from using him to smear conservatives,explains Lachlan Markay.The SPLC makes tens of millions of dollars every year demonizing politically active Americans as domestic terrorists, making it the most profitable civil rights charity in America, and yet the establishment media continues to treat the organization and its mouthpieces like Potok as impartial observers.
Of course, any political group with such a substantial membership is bound to contain a smattering of crazies – the report claims members of the Sovereign Citizen movement have killed six police officers over the course of the last 12 years – but to demonize over 100,000 Americans as violent terrorists on a par with Al-Qaeda because they express concerns about the militarization of law enforcement is clearly asinine.Unfortunately, it’s now par for the course.Despite the fact that the federal government was forced to back down on framing Ron Paul supporters, libertarians, people who display bumper stickers, people who own gold, or even people who fly a U.S. flag, as terrorists under the infamous MIAC report, the rush to denounce legitimate political beliefs as thought crimes, or even mundane behaviors, by insinuating they are shared by terrorists, has accelerated in recent months.Under the FBI’s Communities Against Terrorism program, the bulk purchase of food is labeled as a potential indication of terrorist activity, as is using cash to pay for a cup of coffee, and showing an interest in web privacy when using the Internet in a public place.As we have documented on numerous occasions, the federal government routinely characterizes mundane behavior as extremist activity or a potential indicator of terrorist intent. As part of its See Something, Say Something campaign, the Department of Homeland Security educates the public that generic activities performed by millions of people every day, 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, are all potential signs of terrorist activity.
