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

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

Rosneft, Exxon Mobil sign landmark deal to develop Arctic reserves Published: 16 April, 2012, 19:27
http://www.rosneft.ru
Rosneft and Exxon Mobil have signed a partnership deal, which will see them work together to develop the Arctic's rich untapped reserves.The deal also hands Russia's top oil firm access to projects in North America developed by Exxon.Contracts creating two operating companies to develop projects in the Kara and Black Seas, worth around $1bn were signed by Rosneft president Eduard Khudainatov and Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson in the presence of Russia’s president-elect Vladmir Putin.
Russian Deputy PM & former Rosneft Chairman Igor Sechin told media that at least 15 sea platforms would be built on the Arctic Kara Sea.The drilling process will be very complex and will require significant investment. Preliminary estimates put the Kara sea investment at up to $300 bln. Under the Black Sea exploration deal drilling is expected to start in 2015 and will require injections of up to $55 bln. Investments into other projects is still to be defined.Sechin estimates Kara Sea deposit reserves at about 4.9 billion tons of oil and 8.3 trillion of cubic meters of gas. The Black Sea shelf deposit reserves are estimated at 1.2 billion tons of oil.Vladimir Rozhankovsky, Head of Research at Nord Capital in Moscow, however, says it’s too early to call the agreements game-changers.It’s just a number of framework deals, which I believe will become a full-scale cooperation deals not until we know the name of the next US president. Politics is weighing on such big deals a lot. I don’t think real joint exploration will kick-off any time soon, as the US is still treating its Russian partners with a shade of caution.
Under a separate deal Rosneft will gain 30% stakes in three Exxon Mobil projects in the US, the Gulf of Mexico and Canada.Rosneft & Exxon Mobil also inked an agreement to study development of difficult to reach oil reserves (Achimovka and Tyumen layers) in Western Siberia which Rosneft estimates at about 1.7 billion tonnes.
Sechin also mentioned last week’s decree lifting all export duties for new projects in the Аrctic shelf to boost investment into the area. It’s estimated that the Arctic may contain 20 percent of the world's oil and gas reserves, though the reserves are notoriously hard to reach and present huge environmental challenges.
The huge Arctic deposit may contain up to 70% of Russia’s reserves. Exxon Mobil is a strong partner, which can offer Russia its shelf exploration expertise and technical facilitation. In turn it is likely to seek no less than a 49% stake in the joint venture, with Rosneft of course preserving the 51% blocking stake, continues Rozhankovsky.Rosneft had tried to partner up with BP last year, but it fell through as the British oil major became entangled in a legal battle with its existing Russian partners TNK-BP.

6.7-magnitude quake shakes central Chile
Published April 17, 2012 Associated Press FOX NEWS
SANTIAGO, Chile – A strong magnitude-6.7 earthquake shook central Chile late Monday, prompting authorities to order the evacuation of a stretch of coastline and causing hundreds of people in the capital to flee buildings in panic.There were no reports of major damage, but authorities in the port city of Valparaiso said a 72-year-old man died of a heart attack during the quake. The earthquake was felt for almost a minute in Valparaiso and the capital, Santiago.The U.S. Geological Survey initially put the quake's magnitude at 6.5 but later raised it to 6.7. Its epicenter was 26 miles northeast of Valparaiso, and it had a depth of 23 miles. It struck just minutes before midnight local time Monday.The Chilean navy's hydrographic and oceanographic service discounted the possibility of a tsunami, but authorities maintained an order for people to move to higher ground along a roughly 500-mile stretch of coastline running from the city of Constitucion to Tongoy, north of the capital. Thousands of people were later allowed to return home, said Deputy Interior Secretary Rodrigo Ubilla.The quake knocked out power and telephone service in various parts of Santiago, but the National Emergency Office of the Interior Ministry said that it had received no reports of major damage or injuries so far.
There were reports of rockslides on a highway outside of Santiago, and residents of Valparaiso said the facades of some old buildings had fallen.Public Works Minister Laurence Golbourne said that that Chile's airports and roadways appeared undamaged.
Chile is highly earthquake-prone. A magnitude-7.1 earthquake struck central Chile on March 25, the strongest and longest that many people said they had felt since a huge quake devastated that region two years ago. In 2010, the 8.8-magnitude quake caused a tsunami that obliterated much of the coastal downtown of the central Chilean city of Constitucion.

New N.Korea Missile Poses Serious Threat Write 2012-04-16 09:06:48 Update 2012-04-16 11:23:06
North Korea unveiled a new long-range ballistic missile during its massive military parade on Sunday held to celebrate the 100th birthday of late North Korean founder Kim Il-sung.In a phone interview with KBS, a senior South Korean official said the new missile is presumed to have a much longer range than the North's mid-range Musudan missile and poses a serious threat.The official explained the new missile is more threatening since it's on a mobile launch pad, which will make it difficult to detect signs of a launch in advance.

Editor’s Note: The essay below is adapted from Robert Zubrin’s Merchants of Despair: Radical Environmentalists, Criminal Pseudo-Scientists, and the Fatal Cult of Antihumanism, the latest in our New Atlantis Books series.
The Population Control Holocaust
Robert Zubrin
There is a single ideological current running through a seemingly disparate collection of noxious modern political and scientific movements, ranging from militarism, imperialism, racism, xenophobia, and radical environmentalism, to socialism, Nazism, and totalitarian communism. This is the ideology of antihumanism: the belief that the human race is a horde of vermin whose unconstrained aspirations and appetites endanger the natural order, and that tyrannical measures are necessary to constrain humanity. The founding prophet of modern antihumanism is Thomas Malthus (1766-1834), who offered a pseudoscientific basis for the idea that human reproduction always outruns available resources. Following this pessimistic and inaccurate assessment of the capacity of human ingenuity to develop new resources, Malthus advocated oppressive policies that led to the starvation of millions in India and Ireland.While Malthus’s argument that human population growth invariably leads to famine and poverty is plainly at odds with the historical evidence, which shows global living standards rising with population growth, it nonetheless persisted and even gained strength among intellectuals and political leaders in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Its most pernicious manifestation in recent decades has been the doctrine of population control, famously advocated by ecologist Paul Ehrlich, whose bestselling 1968 antihumanist tract The Population Bomb has served as the bible of neo-Malthusianism. In this book, Ehrlich warned of overpopulation and advocated that the American government adopt stringent population control measures, both domestically and for the Third World countries that received American foreign aid. (Ehrlich, it should be noted, is the mentor of and frequent collaborator with John Holdren, President Obama’s science advisor.)

Courtesy Princeton University LibraryUntil the mid-1960s, American population control programs, both at home and abroad, were largely funded and implemented by private organizations such as the Population Council and Planned Parenthood — groups with deep roots in the eugenics movement. While disposing of millions of dollars provided to them by the Rockefeller, Ford, and Milbank Foundations, among others, the resources available to support their work were meager in comparison with their vast ambitions. This situation changed radically in the mid-1960s, when the U.S. Congress, responding to the agitation of overpopulation ideologues, finally appropriated federal funds to underwrite first domestic and then foreign population control programs. Suddenly, instead of mere millions, there were hundreds of millions and eventually billions of dollars available to fund global campaigns of mass abortion and forced sterilization. The result would be human catastrophe on a worldwide scale.Among the first to be targeted were America’s own Third World population at home — the native American Indians. Starting in 1966, Secretary of the Interior Stuart Udall began to make use of newly available Medicaid money to set up sterilization programs at federally funded Indian Health Services (IHS) hospitals. As reported by Angela Franks in her 2005 book Margaret Sanger’s Eugenic Legacy:
These sterilizations were frequently performed without adequate informed consent.... Native American physician Constance Redbird Uri estimated that up to one-quarter of Indian women of childbearing age had been sterilized by 1977; in one hospital in Oklahoma, one-fourth of the women admitted (for any reason) left sterilized.... She also gathered evidence that all the pureblood women of the Kaw tribe in Oklahoma were sterilized in the 1970s....Unfortunately, and amazingly, problems with the Indian Health Service seem to persist ... recently [in the early 1990s], in South Dakota, IHS was again accused of not following informed-consent procedures, this time for Norplant, and apparently promoted the long-acting contraceptive to Native American women who should not use it due to contraindicating, preexisting medical conditions. The Native American Women’s Health Education Resource Center reports that one woman was recently told by her doctors that they would remove the implant only if she would agree to a tubal ligation. The genocidal dreams of bureaucrats still cast their shadow on American soil.Programs of a comparable character were also set up in clinics funded by the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity in low-income (predominantly black) neighborhoods in the United States. Meanwhile, on the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, a mass sterilization program was instigated by the Draper Fund/Population Crisis Committee and implemented with federal funds from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare through the island’s major hospitals as well as a host of smaller clinics. According to the report of a medical fact-finding mission conducted in 1975, the effort was successful in sterilizing close to one-third of Puerto Rican women of child-bearing age.
Better Dead Than Red
However, it was not at home but abroad that the heaviest artillery of the population control onslaught was directed. During the Cold War, anything from the Apollo program to public-education funding could be sold to the federal government if it could be justified as part of the global struggle against communism. Accordingly, ideologues at some of the highest levels of power and influence formulated a party line that the population of the world’s poor nations needed to be drastically cut in order to reduce the potential recruitment pool available to the communist cause. President Lyndon Johnson was provided a fraudulent study by a RAND Corporation economist that used cooked calculations to prove that Third World children actually had negative economic value. Thus, by allowing excessive numbers of children to be born, Asian, African, and Latin American governments were deepening the poverty of their populations, while multiplying the masses of angry proletarians ready to be led against America by the organizers of the coming World Revolution.President Johnson bought the claptrap, including the phony math. Two months later, he declared to the United Nations that five dollars invested in population control is worth a hundred dollars invested in economic growth.With the Johnson administration now backing population control, Congress passed the Foreign Assistance Act in 1966, including a provision earmarking funds from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for population control programs to be implemented abroad. The legislation further directed that all U.S. economic aid to foreign nations be made contingent upon their governments’ willingness to cooperate with State Department desires for the establishment of such initiatives within their own borders. In other words, for those Third World rulers willing to help sterilize their poorer subjects, there would be carrots. For the uncooperative types, there would be the stick. Given the nature of most Third World governments, such elegant simplicity of approach practically guaranteed success. The population control establishment was delighted.
An Office of Population was set up within USAID, and Dr. Reimert Thorolf Ravenholt was appointed its first director in 1966. He would hold the post until 1979, using it to create a global empire of interlocking population control organizations operating with billion-dollar budgets to suppress the existence of people considered undesirable by the U.S. Department of State.In his devastating 2008 book Population Control: Real Costs, Illusory Benefits, author Steven Mosher provides a colorful description of Ravenholt:Who was Dr. Ravenholt? An epidemiologist by training, he apparently looked on pregnancy as a disease, to be eradicated in the same way one eliminates smallpox or yellow fever. He was also, as it happened, a bellicose misanthrope.He took to his work of contracepting, sterilizing, and aborting the women of the world with an aggressiveness that caused his younger colleagues to shrink back in disgust. His business cards were printed on condoms, and he delighted in handing them out to all comers. He talked incessantly about how to distribute greater quantities of birth control pills, and ensure that they were used. He advocated mass sterilization campaigns, once telling the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that one-quarter of all the fertile women in the world must be sterilized in order to meet the U.S. goals of population control and to maintain the normal operation of U.S. commercial interests around the world. Such rigorous measures were required, Ravenholt explained, to contain the population explosion which would, if left unchecked, so reduce living standards abroad that revolutions would break out against the strong U.S. commercial presence....Charming he was not. To commemorate the bicentennial of the United States in 1976, he came up with the idea of producing stars and stripes condoms in red, white, and blue colors for distribution around the world.... Another time, at a dinner for population researchers, Ravenholt strolled around the room making pumping motions with his fist as if he were operating a manual vacuum aspirator — a hand-held vacuum pump for performing abortions — to the horror of the other guests.
Ravenholt’s view of nonwhite people is expressed well enough in a comment he made in 2000 about slavery: American blacks should thank their lucky stars that the institution of slavery did exist in earlier centuries; if not, these American blacks would not exist: their ancestors would have been killed by their black enemies, instead of being sold as slaves.As his method of operation, Ravenholt adopted the practice of distributing his funds aggressively to the International Planned Parenthood Federation, the Population Council, and numerous other privately run organizations of the population control movement, enabling them to implement mass sterilization and abortion campaigns worldwide without U.S. government regulatory interference, and allowing their budgets to balloon — first tenfold, then a hundredfold, then even more. This delighted the leaders and staff of the population control establishment, who were able to embrace a luxurious lifestyle, staying in the best hotels, eating the best food, and flying first class as they jetted around the world to set up programs to eliminate the poor.Ravenholt also had no compunction about buying up huge quantities of unproven, unapproved, defective, or banned contraceptive drugs and intrauterine devices (IUDs) and distributing them for use by his population control movement subcontractors on millions of unsuspecting Third World women, many of whom suffered or died in consequence. These included drugs and devices which had been declared unsafe by the FDA for use in America, and had faced successful lawsuits in the U.S. for their damaging results. These practices delighted the manufacturers of such equipment.Having thus secured the unqualified support of both the population control establishment and several major pharmaceutical companies, Ravenholt was able to lobby Congress to secure ever-increasing appropriations to further expand his growing empire.
His success was remarkable. Before Ravenholt took over, USAID expenditures on population control amounted to less than 3 percent of what the agency spent on health programs in Third World nations. By 1968, Ravenholt had a budget of $36 million, compared to the USAID health programs budget of $130 million. By 1972, Ravenholt’s population control funding had grown to $120 million per year, with funds taken directly at the expense of USAID’s disease prevention and other health care initiatives, which shrank to $38 million in consequence. In just five short years, the U.S. non-military foreign aid program was transformed from a mission of mercy to an agency for human elimination.In 1968, Robert McNamara, a staunch believer in population control, resigned his post as Secretary of Defense to assume the presidency of the World Bank. From this position he was able to dictate a new policy, making World Bank loans to Third World countries contingent upon their governments’ submission to population control, with yearly sterilization quotas set by World Bank experts. Cash-short and heavily in debt, many poor nations found this pressure very difficult to withstand. This strengthened Ravenholt’s hand immeasurably.
Destroying the Village
Upon coming into office in January 1969, the new Nixon administration sought to further advance the population control agenda. Responding to lobbying by General William H. Draper, Jr., the former under secretary of the Army and a leading overpopulation fear monger, Nixon approved U.S. government support for the establishment of the U.N. Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA). With this organization as a vehicle, vast additional American funds would be poured into the global population control effort, with their source disguised so as to ease acceptance by governments whose leaders needed to maintain a populist pose in opposition to Yankee Imperialism. While the United States was its primary backer, the UNFPA also served as a channel for significant additional population control funds from European nations, Canada, and Japan, collectively equal to about half the American effort.Going still further, President Nixon in 1970 set up a special blue-ribbon Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, with longtime population control booster John D. Rockefeller III as its chairman. Reporting back in 1972, Rockefeller predictably cited the menace of U.S. population growth with alarm, and called for a large variety of population control measures to avert the putative threat of welfare-dependent, criminalistic, or other financially burdensome populations multiplying out of control. Just as predictably, the report generated scores of newspaper headlines and feature magazine articles serving to cement the population control consensus. Nixon’s politically-driven rejection of one of the commission’s recommendations — government-funded abortion on demand — only served to make Rockefeller’s Malthusian committee seem all the more progressive.But Nixon’s chief interest in population control was its supposed value as a Cold War weapon. The president charged Henry Kissinger, his National Security Advisor and Secretary of State, with conducting a secret study on the role of population control measures in the fight against global communism. Kissinger pulled together a group of experts drawn from the National Security Council (NSC), the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Defense, the Department of State, USAID, and other agencies to study the question. The result was issued on December 10, 1974 in the form of the classified NSC document titled Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.The document — known as National Security Study Memorandum 200 (NSSM 200), or simply as the Kissinger Report — represented the encoding of Malthusian dogma as the strategic doctrine of the United States.
NSSM 200 was declassified in 1989 and so is now available for scrutiny. Examining the document, what is apparent is the Nietzschean mindset on the part of its authors, who (implicitly embracing the communist line) clearly regarded the newborn masses of the world as America’s likely enemies, rather than her friends, and as potential obstacles to the exploitation of the world’s wealth, rather than as customers, workers, and business partners participating together with America in a grand team effort to grow and advance the world economy. The memo made the case for a population control effort that is global in scope but not traceable back to its wealthy supporters.On November 26, 1975, NSSM 200 was formally adopted by the Ford administration. A follow-up memo issued in 1976 by the NSC called for the United States to use control of food supplies to impose population control on a global scale. It further noted the value of using dictatorial power and military force as means to coerce Third World peoples into submission to population control measures, adding: In some cases, strong direction has involved incentives such as payment to acceptors for sterilization, or disincentives such as giving low priorities in the allocation of housing or schooling to those with larger families. Such direction is the sine qua non of an effective program.Without a shred of justification, but with impeccable organization, generous funding, aggressive leadership, and backing by a phalanx of established respectable opinion, the population control movement was now doctrinally enshrined as representing the core strategic interest of the world’s leading superpower. It was now positioned to wreak havoc on a global scale.
The Characteristics of Population Control Programs
Of the billions of taxpayer dollars that the U.S. government has expended on population control abroad, a portion has been directly spent by USAID on its own field activities, but the majority has been laundered through a variety of international agencies. As a result of this indirect funding scheme, all attempts to compel the population control empire to conform its activities to accepted medical, ethical, safety, or human rights norms have proven futile. Rather, in direct defiance of laws enacted by Congress to try to correct the situation, what has and continues to be perpetrated at public expense is an atrocity on a scale so vast and varied as to almost defy description. Nevertheless, it is worth attempting to convey to readers some sense of the evil that is being done with their money. Before describing some case studies, let us consider the primary characteristics manifested by nearly all the campaigns.First, they are top-down dictatorial. In selling the effort to Americans, USAID and its beneficiaries claim that they are providing Third World women with choice regarding childbirth. There is no truth to this claim. As Betsy Hartmann, a liberal feminist critic of these programs, trenchantly pointed out in her 1995 book Reproductive Rights and Wrongs, a woman’s right to choose must necessarily include the option of having children — precisely what the population control campaigns deny her. Rather than providing choice to individuals, the purpose of the campaigns is to strip entire populations of their ability to reproduce. This is done by national governments, themselves under USAID or World Bank pressure, setting quotas for sterilizations, IUD insertions, or similar procedures to be imposed by their own civil service upon the subject population. Those government employees who meet or exceed their quotas of acceptors are rewarded; those who fail to do so are disciplined.Second, the programs are dishonest. It is a regular practice for government civil servants employed in population control programs to lie to their prospective targets for quota-meeting about the consequences of the operations that will be performed upon them. For example, Third World peasants are frequently told by government population control personnel that sterilization operations are reversible, when in fact they are not.Third, the programs are coercive. As a regular practice, population control programs provide incentives and/or disincentives to compel acceptors into accepting their assistance. Among the incentives frequently employed is the provision or denial of cash or food aid to starving people or their children. Among the disincentives employed are personal harassment, dismissal from employment, destruction of homes, and denial of schooling, public housing, or medical assistance to the recalcitrant.
Fourth, the programs are medically irresponsible and negligent. As a regular practice, the programs use defective, unproven, unsafe, experimental, or unapproved gear, including equipment whose use has been banned outright in the United States. They also employ large numbers of inadequately trained personnel to perform potentially life-endangering operations, or to maintain medical equipment in a supposedly sterile or otherwise safe condition. In consequence, millions of people subjected to the ministrations of such irresponsibly run population control operations have been killed. This is particularly true in Africa, where improper reuse of hypodermic needles without sterilization in population control clinics has contributed to the rapid spread of deadly infectious diseases, including AIDS.
Fifth, the programs are cruel, callous, and abusive of human dignity and human rights. A frequent practice is the sterilization of women without their knowledge or consent, typically while they are weakened in the aftermath of childbirth. This is tantamount to government-organized rape. Forced abortions are also typical. These and other human rights abuses of the population control campaign have been widely documented, with subject populations victimized in Australia, Bangladesh, China, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Kosovo, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tibet, the United States, Venezuela, and Vietnam.Sixth, the programs are racist. Just as the global population control program itself represents an attempt by the (white-led) governments of the United States and the former imperial powers of Europe to cut nonwhite populations in the Third World, so, within each targeted nation, the local ruling group has typically made use of the population control program to attempt to eliminate the people they despise. In India, for example, the ruling upper-caste Hindus have focused the population control effort on getting rid of lower-caste untouchables and Muslims. In Sri Lanka, the ruling Singhalese have targeted the Hindu Tamils for extermination. In Peru, the Spanish-speaking descendants of the conquistadors have directed the country’s population control program toward the goal of stemming the reproduction of the darker non-Hispanic natives. In Kosovo, the Serbs used population control against the Albanians, while in Vietnam the Communist government has targeted the population control effort against the Hmong ethnic minority, America’s former wartime allies. In China, the Tibetan and Uyghur minorities have become special targets of the government’s population control effort, with multitudes of the latter rounded up for forced abortions and sterilizations. In South Africa under apartheid, the purpose of the government-run population control program went without saying. In various black African states, whichever tribe holds the reins of power regularly directs the population campaign towards the elimination of their traditional tribal rivals. There should be nothing surprising in any of this. Malthusianism has always been closely linked to racism, because the desire for population control has as its foundation the hatred of others.The population control agenda has now been implemented in well over a hundred countries. Although we cannot provide detailed accounts of the efforts in each of them here, let us turn now to examine three of the most important and egregious cases.
India
Since the time of Malthus, India has always been a prime target in the eyes of would-be population controllers. Both the British colonial administrators and the high-caste Brahmins who succeeded them in power following independence in 1947 looked upon the teeming masses of that nation’s lower classes with fear and disdain. Jawaharlal Nehru’s Congress Party (which controlled India’s national government for its first three decades without interruption) had been significantly influenced by pre-independence contacts with the pro-Malthusian British Fabian Society. Notable members of the native elite, such as the influential and formidable Lady Rama Rau, had been attracted to the ideas of eugenicist and Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger. Thus during the 1950s and early 1960s, the Indian government allowed organizations like the Population Council, the Ford Foundation, and the International Planned Parenthood Federation to set up shop within the country’s borders, where they could set about curbing the reproduction of the nation’s Dalits, or untouchables. The government did not, however, allocate public funds to these organizations, so their programs remained relatively small.

Mass sterilization camp in India. © Nick RainThings changed radically in 1965, when war with Pakistan threw the country’s economy into disarray, causing harvest failure and loss of revenue. When Prime Minister Indira Gandhi — Nehru’s daughter — assumed office in January 1966, India was short twenty million tons of grain and lacked money to buy replacement stock on the world market. She was left with no choice but to go to the United States, hat in hand, to beg for food aid.There was a lot that the United States could have asked for in return from India, such as support for the Western side in the Cold War (India was non-aligned), and particularly for the war effort in nearby Vietnam, which was heating up rapidly. One of President Lyndon Johnson’s aides, Joseph Califano, suggested in a memo to the president that the United States move rapidly to commit food aid in order to secure such a pro-American tilt. In reply he got a call from Johnson that very afternoon. Are you out of your ***ing mind? the president exploded. He declared in no uncertain terms that he was not going to ---- away foreign aid in nations where they refuse to deal with their own population problems.Indira Gandhi arrived in Washington in late March and met first with Secretary of State Dean Rusk, who handed her a memo requiring a massive effort to control population growth as a condition for food aid. Then, on March 28, 1966, she met privately with the president. There is no record of their conversation, but it is evident that she capitulated completely. Two days later, President Johnson sent a message to Congress requesting food aid for India, noting with approval: The Indian government believes that there can be no effective solution of the Indian food problem that does not include population control.In accordance with the agreement, sterilization and IUD-insertion quotas were set for each Indian state, and then within each state for each local administrative district. Every hospital in the country had a large portion of its facilities commandeered for sterilization and IUD-insertion activities. (The IUDs, which were provided to the Indian government by the Population Council, were non-sterile. In Maharashtra province, 58 percent of women surveyed who received them experienced pain, 24 percent severe pain, and 43 percent severe and excessive bleeding.) But hospitals alone did not have the capacity to meet the quotas, so hundreds of sterilization camps were set up in rural areas, manned and operated by paramedical personnel who had as little as two days of training. Minimum quotas were set for the state-salaried camp medics — they had to perform 150 vasectomies or 300 IUD insertions per month each, or their pay would be docked. Private practitioners were also recruited to assist, with pay via piecework: 10 rupees per vasectomy and 5 rupees per IUD insertion.
To acquire subjects for these ministrations, the Indian government provided each province with 11 rupees for every IUD insertion, 30 per vasectomy, and 40 per tubectomy. These funds could be divided according to the particular population control plan of each provincial government, with some going to program personnel, some spent as commission money to freelance motivators, some paid as incentives to the acceptors, and some grafted for other governmental or private use by the administrators. Typical incentives for subjects ranged from 3 to 7 rupees for an IUD insertion and 12 to 25 rupees for a sterilization. These sums may seem trivial — a 1966 rupee is equivalent to 65 cents today — but at that time, 2 to 3 rupees was a day’s pay for an Indian laborer.When these pittances did not induce enough subjects to meet the quotas, some states adopted additional incentives: Madhya Pradesh, for example, denied irrigation water to villages that failed to meet their quotas. Faced with starvation, millions of impoverished people had no alternative but to submit to sterilization. As the forms of coercion employed worked most effectively on the poorest, the system also provided the eugenic bonus of doing away preferentially with untouchables.The results were impressive. In 1961, the total number of sterilizations (vasectomies and tubectomies combined) performed in India was 105,000. In 1966-67, the yearly total shot up to 887,000, growing further to more than 1.8 million in 1967-68. No doubt LBJ was proud.But while ruining the lives of millions of people, the steep rise in sterilization figures had little impact on the overall trajectory of India’s population growth. In 1968, Paul Ehrlich wrote in The Population Bomb, I have yet to meet anyone familiar with the situation who thinks India will be self sufficient in food by 1971, if ever,thus justifying his explicitly antihuman call that “we must allow [India] to slip down the drain.” As in so many other things, Ehrlich was wrong; India did achieve self-sufficiency in food in 1971 — not through population control, but through the improved agricultural techniques of the Green Revolution. It did not matter. The holders of the purse-strings at USAID demanded even higher quotas. They got them. By 1972-73, the number of sterilizations in India reached three million per year.
Then, in the fall of 1973, OPEC launched its oil embargo, quintupling petroleum prices virtually overnight. For rich nations like the United States, the resulting financial blow was severe. For poor countries like India, it was devastating. In 1975, conditions in India became so bad that Prime Minister Gandhi declared a state of national emergency and assumed dictatorial power. Driven once again to desperation, she found herself at the mercy of the World Bank, led by arch-Malthusian Robert S. McNamara. McNamara made it clear: if India wanted more loans, Gandhi needed to use her powers to deal more definitively with India’s supposed population problem. She agreed. Instead of incentives, force would now be used to obtain compliance. Some personal rights have to be kept in abeyance, she said,for the human rights of the nation, the right to live, the right to progress.
Gandhi put her son Sanjay personally in charge of the new population offensive. He took to his job with gusto. Overt coercion became the rule: sterilization was a condition for land allotments, water, electricity, ration cards, medical care, pay raises, and rickshaw licenses. Policemen were given quotas to nab individuals for sterilization. Demolition squads were sent into slums to bulldoze houses — sometimes whole neighborhoods — so that armed police platoons could drag off their flushed-out occupants to forced-sterilization camps. In Delhi alone, 700,000 people were driven from their homes. Many of those who escaped the immediate roundup were denied new housing until they accepted sterilization.These attacks provoked resistance, with thousands being killed in battles with the police, who used live ammunition to deal with protesters. When it became clear that Muslim villages were also being selectively targeted, the level of violence increased still further. The village of Pipli was only brought into submission when government officials threatened locals with aerial bombardment. As the director of family planning in Maharashtra explained, You must consider it something like a war.... Whether you like it or not, there will be a few dead people.The measures served their purpose. During 1976, eight million Indians were sterilized. Far from being dismayed by the massive violation of human rights committed by the campaign, its foreign sponsors expressed full support. Sweden increased its funding for Indian population control by $17 million. Reimert Ravenholt ordered 64 advanced laparoscope machines — altogether sufficient to sterilize 12,800 people per day — rushed to India to help the effort. World Bank president McNamara was absolutely delighted. In November 1976, he traveled to India to congratulate Indira Gandhi’s government for its excellent work. At long last, he said,India is moving effectively to address its population problem.
Prime Minister Gandhi got her loans. She also got the boot in 1977, when, in the largest democratic election in history, the people of India defied three decades of precedent and voted her Congress Party out of power in a landslide.Unfortunately, in most Third World countries, people lack such an option to protect themselves against population control. Equally unfortunately, despite the fall of the Gandhi government, the financial pressure on India from the World Bank and USAID to implement population control continued. By the early 1980s, four million sterilizations were being performed every year on India’s underclasses as part of a coercive two-child-per-family policy.Since in rural India sons are considered essential to continue the family line and provide support for parents in their old age, this limit caused many families to seek means of disposing of infant daughters, frequently through drowning, asphyxiation, abandonment in sewers or garbage dumps, or incineration on funeral pyres. More recently the primary means of eliminating the less-desirable sex has become sex-selective abortion, skewing the ratio of the sexes so that 112 boys are born for every hundred girls in India (far beyond the natural ratio of 103 to 106), with the ratio even more skewed in some locations. A sense of the scale on which these murders were and are practiced, even just in the aspect of gendercide, can be gleaned from the fact that in India today there are 37 million more men than women.
Peru
Because of their proximity to the United States, Central and South America have long been in the sights of population controllers from the American national security establishment. Since the 1960s, on the urging of USAID, brutal population control programs have been implemented in nearly every country from Mexico to Chile. In this article we shall focus on just one of them, that of Peru, because the criminal investigation of its leading perpetrators has provided some of the best documentation of the systematic abuses that have been and continue to be carried out under the cloak of population control across Central and South America.Mountainous Peru features some of the most thinly populated regions on the planet. This fact, however, in no way deterred USAID planners from deeming these rural areas to be overpopulated, nor from funding programs designed to eliminate their people. Begun in 1966, these efforts proceeded on a comparatively low level until the 1990s, when strongman Alberto Fujimori assumed nearly dictatorial powers in the country.In 1995, President Fujimori launched a nationwide sterilization campaign. Mobile sterilization teams were assembled in Lima and then deployed to move through the countryside to conduct week-long ligation festivals in one village after another. Prior to the arrival of the sterilization teams, Ministry of Health employees were sent in to harass local women into submission. Women who resisted were subjected to repeated home visits and severe verbal abuse by the government workers, who chided the native women and girls that they were no better than cats or dogs for wanting to have children. If this did not suffice, mothers were told that unless they submitted to ligation, their children would be made ineligible for government food aid.Both the government harassment squads and the members of the sterilization units themselves operated under a quota system, striving to meet the nationwide target of 100,000 tubal ligations per year. They were paid if they met their quotas but punished if they failed to capture the designated number of women for sterilization. As a result, many women entering clinics for childbirth were sterilized without any pretext of gaining their permission. Given the limited training of the sterilization personnel (provided in many cases by imported Chinese population control experts), the unsanitary conditions prevailing during the village ligation festivals, and the complete lack of post-operation care, it is not surprising that many suffered severe complications and more than a few died subsequent to their mutilations.
While the government personnel performing the mass sterilizations were urbanites of Spanish derivation, the overwhelming majority of the victims were rural Quechua-speaking natives of Inca descent. This, of course, was no coincidence. When Fujimori was booted out in 2000, the new president, Alejandro Toledo, asked the Peruvian Congress to authorize an investigation into the population control campaign. Accordingly, an investigative commission known as the AQV was formed under the direction of Dr. Hector Chavez Chuchon. The AQV submitted its report to the Human Rights Commission of the Peruvian Congress on June 10, 2003.According to the report, in the course of a five-year effort the Fujimori government had sterilized 314,605 women. Furthermore, Fujimori’s population control campaign had carried out massive sterilizations on designated ethnic groups, benefiting other ethnic or social groups which did not suffer the scourge with the same intensity ... the action fits the definition of the crime of Genocide. The report went on to make a Constitutional Indictment Fujimori and various officials of his government for the alleged commission of crimes against Individual Liberty, against Life, Body, and Health, of Criminal Conspiracy, and Genocide.The primary funders of Fujimori’s genocide campaign were USAID (which ignored U.S. law and a 1998 congressional investigation to continue its financial support for the effort), the UNFPA, and the International Planned Parenthood Federation.
China
In June 1978, Song Jian, a top-level manager in charge of developing control systems for the Chinese guided-missile program, traveled to Helsinki for an international conference on control system theory and design. While in Finland, he picked up copies of The Limits to Growth and Blueprint for Survival — publications of the Club of Rome, a major source of Malthusian propaganda — and made the acquaintance of several Europeans who were promoting the reports’ method of using computerized systems analysis to predict and design the human future.Fascinated by the possibilities, Song returned to China and republished the Club’s analysis under his own name (without attribution), establishing his reputation for brilliant and original thinking. Indeed, while Club of Rome computer projections of impending resource shortages, graphs showing the shortening of population-increase times, and discussions of carrying capacities,natural limits, mass extinctions, and the isolated spaceship Earth were all clichés in the West by 1978, in China they were fresh and striking ideas. In no time at all, Song became a scientific superstar. Seizing the moment to grasp for greater power and importance, he pulled together an elite group of mathematicians from within his department, and with the help of a powerful computer to provide the necessary special effects, issued the profoundly calculated judgment that China’s correct population size was 650 to 700 million people — which is to say some 280 to 330 million less than its actual 1978 population. Song’s analysis quickly found favor at top levels of the Chinese Communist Party because it purported to prove that the reason for China’s continued poverty was not thirty years of disastrous misrule, but the very existence of the Chinese people. (To make the utter falsity of Song’s argument clear, it is sufficient to note that in 1980, neighboring South Korea, with four times China’s population density, had a per capita gross national product seven times greater.) Paramount Leader Deng Xiaoping and his fellows in the Central Committee were also very impressed by the pseudo-scientific computer babble Song used to dress up his theory — which, unlike its Club of Rome source documents in the West, ran unopposed in the state-controlled Chinese technical and popular media.Song proposed that China’s rulers a limit of one child per family, effective immediately. Deng Xiaoping liked what Song had to say, so those who might have had the power to resist the one-child policy were quick to protect themselves by lining up in support. At the critical Chengdu population conference in December 1979, only one brave man, Liang Zhongtang, a teacher of Marxism at the Shaanxi Provincial Party School, called upon his party comrades to consider the brutality they were about to inflict:We have made the peasants’ suffering bitter enough in the economic realm. We cannot make them suffer further. Liang also tried to argue from a practical standpoint. If we implement this policy, he said, every working Chinese married couple will need to support four elderly grandparents, one child, and themselves — a clear impossibility. None of the children will have any brothers or sisters, or uncles or aunts. None of the parents will have any relatives of their own generation to help out in time of need. The social fabric of village life will break down completely. There will be no one to serve in the Army.
But such commonsense objections were of no avail. The word soon came down from the top: one child per family was now the policy of the infallible Party leadership, and no further disagreements would be tolerated.Thus began the most forceful population control program since Nazi Germany. No more would the population controllers need to depend on tricks, bribes, denial of benefits, traveling ligation festivals, or slum demolition platoons to obtain their victims. They now had the organized and unrelenting power of a totalitarian state to enforce their will, holding sway over not only a massive bureaucracy, but gigantic police and military forces, secret police, vast prison facilities, total media control, and tens of millions of informers. In The Population Bomb, Paul Ehrlich had called for state control of human reproduction, with compulsory birth regulation. Now, just twelve years later, Ehrlich’s utopian dream had become a nightmare reality for one-fifth of the human race.Qian Xinzhong, a Soviet-trained former major general in the People’s Liberation Army, was placed in charge of the campaign. He ordered that all women with one child were to have a stainless-steel IUD inserted, and to be inspected regularly to make sure that they had not tampered with it. To remove the device was deemed a criminal act. All parents with two or more children were to be sterilized. No pregnancies were legal for anyone under 23, whether married or not, and all unauthorized pregnancies were to be aborted.Under no circumstances is the birth of a third child allowed, Qian said.Women who defied these injunctions were taken and sterilized by force. Babies would be aborted right through the ninth month of pregnancy, with many crying as they were being stabbed to death at the moment of birth. Those women who fled to try to save their children were hunted, and if they could not be caught, their houses were torn down and their parents thrown in prison, there to linger until a ransom of 20,000 yuan — about three years’ income for a peasant — was paid for their release. Babies born to such fugitives were declared to be black children, illegal non-persons in the eyes of the state, without any right to employment, public schooling, health care, or reproduction.The leaders of the UNFPA and the International Planned Parenthood Federation were delighted, and rushed to send money (provided to them primarily by the U.S. State Department) and personnel to help support the campaign. China was so openly brutal in its methods that IPPF’s own information officer, Penny Kane, expressed alarm — not at what was being done to millions of Chinese women, girls, and infants, but at the possible public-relations disaster that could mar the IPPF’s image if Americans found out what it was doing. Very strong measures are being taken to reduce population, Kane wrote from China,I think that in the not-too-distant future this will blow up into a major press story as it contains all the ingredients for sensationalism — Communism, forced family planning, murder of viable fetuses, parallels with India, etc. When it does blow up, it is going to be very difficult to defend.... We might find it extremely difficult to handle the press and the public if there were a major fuss about the Chinese methods.
Horror graph
Babies born in China in spite of the one-child policy are declared black children and have no right to food, health care, or education. If female, they are frequently killed, either at birth, or if apprehended later, at orphanages where they are gathered. Shown above is Mei Ming, a two-year-old girl tied to a chair in a “dying room.” The bucket below her is to catch her urine and feces as she dies over the next several days from starvation and neglect. The above photo was taken by a British TV crew during their filming of the 1995 documentary exposé The Dying Rooms. The Chinese government denies the existence of dying rooms.Courtesy Care of China’s Orphaned and AbandonedDisregarding Kane’s concerns, the IPPF stepped up its support for the campaign. True to her worries, however, the story did begin to break in the West. On November 30, 1981, the Wall Street Journal ran an eyewitness story by Michele Vink reporting women being handcuffed, tied with ropes, or placed in pig’s baskets as they were being hauled off for forced abortions. According to Vink, vehicles transporting women to hospitals in Canton were filled with wailing noises, while unauthorized infants were being killed en masse. Every day hundreds of fetuses arrive at the morgue, one of Vink’s sources said.On May 15, 1982, New York Times foreign correspondent Christopher Wren offered an even more devastating exposé. He reported on stories of thousands of Chinese women being rounded up and forced to have abortions,and tales of women locked in detention cells or hauled before mass rallies and harangued into consenting to abortion,as well as vigilantes [who] abducted pregnant women on the streets and hauled them off, sometimes handcuffed or trussed, to abortion clinics.He quoted one Chinese reporter who described aborted babies which were actually crying when they were born.The horror became so open that it could not be denied. By 1983, even Chinese newspapers themselves were running stories about the butchering, drowning, and leaving to die of female infants and the maltreating of women who had given birth to girls.Unfazed by the press coverage, Qian redoubled the effort. Local Communist Party officials were given quotas for sterilizations, abortions, and IUD insertions. If they exceeded them, they could be promoted. If they failed to meet them, they would be expelled from the Party in disgrace. These measures guaranteed results. In 1983, 16 million women and 4 million men were sterilized, 18 million women had IUDs inserted, and over 14 million infants were aborted. Going forward, these figures were sustained, with combined total coerced abortions, IUD implantations, and sterilizations exceeding 30 million per year through 1985.
In celebration of Qian’s achievements, the UNFPA in 1983 gave him (together with Indira Gandhi) the first United Nations Population Award, complete with diploma, gold medal, and $25,000 cash. In a congratulatory speech at the award ceremony in New York, U.N. Secretary General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar said: Considering the fact that China and India contain over 40 per cent of humanity, we must all record our deep appreciation of the way in which their governments have marshaled the resources necessary to implement population policies on a massive scale. Qian stood up and promised to continue controlling population quantity and raising population quality. The U.N. was not alone in expressing its appreciation. The World Bank signaled its thanks in the sincerest way possible — that is to say, with cash, providing China with $22 billion in loans by 1996.Given the supreme importance to rural Chinese families of having a son, both to take care of aging parents and to continue the line and honor family ancestors, many peasants simply could not accept a daughter as their only child. The resultant spike in female infanticide was perhaps not especially troubling to the authorities in itself, given their attitude toward related matters, but the total social breakdown it betokened was. Facing this reality, in 1988 the government in some provinces compromised just a little and agreed that couples who had a daughter as their first child would be allowed one more try to have a son — provided that there were no unauthorized births or other violations of the population policy by anyone in the couple’s village during that year. While giving a bit on the population front, this reform had the salutary effect — from the totalitarian point of view — of destroying peasant solidarity, which previously had acted to shield local women giving birth in hiding. Instead, hysterical group pressure was mobilized against such rebels, with everyone in the village transformed into government snoops to police their neighbors against possible infractions.The killing of daughters, however, continued apace. During the period from 2000 to 2004, almost 1.25 boys were born for every girl born — indicating that one-fifth of all baby girls in China were either being aborted or murdered. In some provinces the fraction eliminated was as high as one-half.
The Terrible Toll
In 1991, UNFPA head Nafis Sadik went to China to congratulate the oligarchs of the People’s Republic for their excellent program, which by that time had already sterilized, implanted IUDs in, or performed abortions on some 300 million people. China has every reason to feel proud of and pleased with its remarkable achievements made in its family planning policy and control of its population growth over the past ten years, she said.Now the country could offer its experiences and special experts to help other countries.... UNFPA is going to employ some of [China’s family planning experts] to work in other countries and popularize China’s experience in population growth control and family planning.Sadik made good on her promise. With the help of the UNFPA, the Chinese model of population control was implemented virtually in its entirety in Vietnam, and used to enhance the brutal effectiveness of the antihuman efforts in many other countries, from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka to Mexico and Peru.Meanwhile, many other countries have similarly grim stories. The Indonesian population control program was extensive and coercive; Betsy Hartmann as recounted a case in 1990 in which family planning workers accompanied by the police and army went from house to house and took men and women to a site where IUDs were being inserted. Women who refused had IUDs inserted at gunpoint.The Indonesian government’s longstanding commitment to population control meant that other areas of health care were not prioritized, which is why the country’s infant mortality rate is double that of neighboring Malaysia and Thailand.The misallocation of scarce health resources is even more apparent in sub-Saharan Africa. Health care professionals and programs that should be dedicated to fighting malaria and other deadly diseases are instead dedicated to population control. As Dr. Stephen Karanja, former secretary of the Kenyan Medical Association, wrote in 1997:Our health sector is collapsed. Thousands of the Kenyan people will die of malaria, the treatment of which costs a few cents, in health facilities whose shelves are stocked to the ceiling with millions of dollars’ worth of pills, IUDs, Norplant, Depo-Provera, and so on, most of which are supplied with American money.... Special operating theaters fully serviced and not lacking in instruments are opened in hospitals for the sterilization of women. While in the same hospitals, emergency surgery cannot be done for lack of basic operating instruments and supplies.
In a 2000 interview, Karanja continued, You can’t perform operations because there is no equipment, no materials. The operation theater isn’t working. But if it is for a sterilization, the theater is equipped. Worse still, as Steven Mosher has argued in his book Population Control, there is good reason to believe that the 100 million hypodermic needles that were shipped to Africa since the 1990s for injecting contraceptive drugs have been a major cause of the continent’s horrific AIDS epidemic — which has resulted in tens of millions of deaths, with nearly two million more deaths expected this year, and next, and for years more to come.Around the world, the population control movement has resulted in billions of lost or ruined lives. We cannot stop at merely rebutting the pseudoscience and recounting the crimes of the population controllers. We must also expose and confront the underlying antihumanist ideology. If the idea is accepted that the world’s resources are fixed with only so much to go around, then each new life is unwelcome, each unregulated act or thought is a menace, every person is fundamentally the enemy of every other person, and each race or nation is the enemy of every other race or nation. The ultimate outcome of such a worldview can only be enforced stagnation, tyranny, war, and genocide. The horrific crimes advocated or perpetrated by antihumanism’s devotees over the past two centuries prove this conclusively. Only in a world of unlimited resources can all men be brothers.That is why we must reject antihumanism and embrace instead an ethic based on faith in the human capacity for creativity and invention. For in doing so, we make a statement that we are living not at the end of history, but at the beginning of history; that we believe in freedom and not regimentation; in progress and not stasis; in love rather than hate; in life rather than death; in hope rather than despair.Robert Zubrin is a New Atlantis contributing editor.

Netanyahu Thanks Police for Foiling Flytilla-Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu thanks the officers and commanders of the Israel Police for successfully foiling the flytilla.By Elad Benari First Publish: 4/16/2012, 5:16 AM
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke with Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch on Sunday evening, and thanked the officers and commanders of the Israel Police for their determined and successful operation in foiling the flytilla that was intended to be carried out at the Ben Gurion International Airport.Netanyahu told Aharonovitch,The deployment of the operational and diplomatic elements proved itself. Today, the world better understands where the true problems are in the Middle East.Earlier it was reported that several hundred police officers remained at the airport until Sunday night, to ward off possible mayhem by foreign leftists taking part in the flytilla anti-Israel protest.According to updated figures released on Sunday evening, a total of 78 radical leftists and anarchists landed at the airport throughout the day on Sunday. 56 of them were arrested for trying to cause a provocation in the Israeli terminal, 18 were deported back to their country of origin and four others are being held in a detention center at the airport.The activists who arrived at the airport were given sarcastic letters which read:Dear Activists,We appreciate your choosing to make Israel the object of your humanitarian concerns.We know there were many other worthy choices.You could have chosen to protest the Syrian regime’s daily savagery against its own people, which has claimed thousands of lives.You could have chosen to protest the Iranian regime’s brutal crackdown on dissent and its support of terrorism throughout the world.You could have chosen to protest Hamas rule in Gaza, where terror organizations commit a double war crime by firing rockets at civilians and hiding behind civilians.But instead, you chose to protest against Israel, the Middle East’s sole democracy, where women are equal, the press criticizes the government, human rights organizations can operate freely, religious freedom is protected for all - and minorities do not live in fear.Therefore, we suggest you solve the real problems of the region first, and then come back and share your experiences with us.Have a nice flight.

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

Spain's King Juan Carlos under fire over elephant hunting trip-Juan Carlos's expensive trip to Botswana – from which he was flown home injured – arouses anger in recession-hit country Giles Tremlett in Madrid guardian.co.uk, Sunday 15 April 2012 14.30 BST
While ordinary Spaniards cope with harsh austerity, recession and soaring unemployment, the country's royal family has been enjoying expensive hunting trips, one of which resulted in King Juan Carlos ending up in hospital.The 74-year-old monarch's fall in a park in Botswana provided an excuse for Spanish newspapers, who normally treat their royal family with kid gloves, to plaster their pages with photos of the king standing proudly in front of a dead elephant.The photograph came from the website of Botswana-based Rann Safaris, which had been taken down by Sunday. The pictures, taken before the latest hunting trip, also showed the king with two dead water buffaloes.Shoots with Rann Safaris cost upwards of $8,700 (£5,500) a week, with an elephant costing a further $15,000 to kill. A day out with professional hunter Jeff Rann, pictured with the king, costs a further $2,000.The king's accident, after which he was flown back to Madrid for a hip operation, came days after his grandson, 13-year-old Froilán Marichalar, shot himself in the foot while hunting in Spain. He also had to be hospitalised and doctors removed the contents of a 36-calibre shotgun cartridge from his foot. Newspapers reported that it was illegal for a 13-year-old to handle that type of gun.The king's hunting trip, which officials described as private, has caused a storm of angry comment from animal lovers and those wanting to know how much it had cost.A promotional video on YouTube shows Rann shooting elephants – which can be killed with licences bought at auction from the Botswana government – in the Okavango delta.
You have to manage the world's animal populations, to their betterment, says Rann, who did not answer queries from the Guardian.We are trying to improve their habitat.
King Juan Carlos has been involved in hunting scandals before. Six years ago, officials dismissed as ridiculous allegations that he had shot a drunken Russian bear that had been plied with honey and vodka. The royal family has a troubled history with guns. The king shot and killed his brother in an accident when he was a teenager.
Sarkozy wants new role for euro bank
Today APR 16,12 @ 09:29 By Valentina Pop
BRUSSELS - With just a week to go until the presidential elections, French incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy on Sunday (15 April) said the European Central Bank should get a new mandate on reviving economic growth - a no-go area for Germany.On the question of the ECB’s role in boosting growth, we French are going to open the debate, Sarkozy told supporters in central Paris during the biggest rally of his re-election campaign to date.He said that there must be no taboos in discussing the rules of the eurozone, including a more growth-oriented role for the ECB:We cannot have taboo subjects. We cannot have banned debates.The Frankfurt-based ECB was a political target for Sarkozy five years ago during the 2007 presidential election campaign. Since then he has regularly spoken out in favour of a more active role by the bank in saving ailing governments in the eurozone.This put him on collision course with German Chancellor Angela Merkel for whom the independence of the bank is sacred.In November last year as Italy and Spain's borrowing costs rose to bail-out territory, Sarkozy and Merkel, as well as Italy's Mario Monti, agreed not to publicly discuss the ECB's role to avoid the impression that the bank is subject to political influence.The bank soon rolled out the first half of a €1 trillion worth of cheap loans to banks, which in turn bought up Spanish and Italian bonds and drove the costs down.
But Spain's borrowing costs have started to rise again in recent weeks, despite the second half of cheap loans injected in the banking system.Sarkozy has other concerns however. He is trailing behind Socialist challenger Francois Hollande, who is advocating pro-growth policies and wants to adjust a Germany-driven fiscal discipline treaty.According to a TNS Sofres survey published on 13 April, Hollande would win 56 percent of the vote in the run-off scheduled for 6 May.Europe must cut its debts, it has no choice, Sarkozy said in Paris on Sunday.But between deflation and growth, it has no choice either. If it chooses deflation, it will disappear.He also hinted at some adjustments to the eurozone debt and deficit rules, as the crisis has shown the limits of these rules - similar territory to the Hollande camp.
Meanwhile, the Socialists contender urged supporters at a rival event to resist euphoria and get out and vote.
ECB staff worried about inflation
With inflation expected to stay above two percent this year, the ECB's own staff is now reportedly worried about having no protection against a slide in the value of the euro, partly caused by the institution they are working for.Unfortunately the pensions of ECB staff are not protected against inflation, Carlos Bowles, a spokesman for the ECB staff told Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. He added that there is a legal case at the European Court of Justice against the ECB on the matter.But if it were to agree to an inflation-linked adjustment to pensions, the ECB would be admitting it that it could fail in its core task: protecting the eurozone against inflation.
Pirates' to run joint campaign in next EU elections
Today APR 16,12 @ 09:29 By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - 'Pirate' parties from around the EU have agreed to campaign as one bloc and to try and form a group in the European Parliament in the 2014 elections.The decision came at a congress of the so-called Pirate Parties International, a Brussels-based NGO, in Prague over the weekend.The Prague conference is the first step in the joint campaign for the 2014 elections to the European Parliament ... Key issues for the pirate parties are transparency, an open state and better communication with the citizens,Mikulas Ferjencik, the deputy head of the Czech pirate faction told AFP.The PPI meeting also admitted two new pirate parties (from Greece and Slovakia), debated how to bring down the international anti-counterfeit treaty, Acta, and issues such as nerd-fatalism and nerd-determinism - defined by one speaker, respectively, as politics are shit so I don't participate and whatever law you make, I'll hack around it.Born out of an Internet file-sharing site called The Pirate Bay back in 2006, pirate parties have surged in popularity in Austria and Germany in recent months.A poll by broadcaster RTL in March recorded support for German pirates on 13 percent, in third place after the centre-right Christian Democrats and the centre-left SPD, but way ahead of government coalition partners, the liberal FDP party.FDP foreign minister Guido Westerwelle in an interview out on Monday in Handelsblatt described the movement as a threat to German foreign policy in terms of protecting intellectual property in countries such as China and Russia
In Austria, a pirate party on Sunday (15 April) got almost four percent in regional elections in Innsbruck, gaining seats for the first time in a regional assembly.
Pirate parties currently exist in over 50 countries worldwide, including Belarus and post-Arab-Spring Tunisia, and in all but one - Malta - EU member states.The last EU elections in 2009 saw two Swedish pirate candidates win seats in Strasbourg - 42-year-old Christian Engstrom and 24-year-old Amelia Andersdotter, the youngest member of the assembly. Both joined the Green group and are members of the industry, legal affairs and internal market committees, as well as delegaions to south-east Asia and Korea.In a potential foretaste of things to come, the pair have diligently attended plenary sessions and voted in line with Green party positions.Engstrom has drafted one report: on the Internet of Things, the practice of giving digital tags to physical objects, such as export products or household appliances, so that they can be monitored or controlled online.
The two MEPs have shown an interest in amendments, resolutions and parliamentary questions on a list of subjects which goes beyond Internet issues such as Acta and Wikileaks, and includes civil liberties in Burma, the persecution of Christian minorities in the Middle East, the salaries of EU officials and media laws in Hungary.

Seven Firebombs on Jewish Homes in Mount of Olives-No one hurt in attack. Security guards fired in the air, causing terrorist to flee. MK Eldad: police endangering Jews.By Gil Ronen First Publish: 4/16/2012, 3:02 PM
A terrorist hurled seven firebombs at Jewish homes Sunday night in Maaleh HaZeitim, on Jerusalem's Mount of Olives.The terrorist's face was covered. He came carrying ten firebombs and managed to throw seven of them at ground floor apartments in the compound, causing a fire to break out in one of them. The compound's security guards identified the terrorist and fired in the air, causing him to flee.MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union) said Monday that police arrived on the scene and proceeded to question the security men over their decision to fire in the air.The Commander of the Jerusalem District deserves to be sacked for a lot less than that,said Eldad.
Eldad wrote to the Minister of Public Security and asked him to reissue the instructions on opening fire, and to clarify that a firebomb is a deadly weapon and that whoever uses it should be fired at, with intention to hit him.The worst outcome of all would be if the terrorist who meant to burn Jews in their sleep will continue his actions while the security men who dared to protect the residents' lives are sacked from their jobs,he added.
Iran Cozies up to N. Korea, Watches Rocket Launch-Iranian missile experts were present at a failed North Korean rocket launch last week, according to foreign media.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 4/16/2012, 4:27 PM
Iranian missile experts were present at a failed North Korean rocket launch last week, according to foreign media.The missile blew up over the Yellow Sea soon after laucnhing, but the presence of Iranian experts underscores the close ties between the countries, both of which threaten international stability with nuclear weapons programs.A dozen Iranian experts and executives present at the launch are from the sanctioned Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group in Iran.The Iranians undoubtedly were there to observe the missile launch and receive test data from North Korea, a diplomatic source was quoted as telling the Yonhap news agency.Korea, Iran and Syria have long been suspected of working together, and several North Korean scientists reportedly were killed four years ago when Israel clandestinely bombed a nuclear structure under construction in northern Syria.A Shabab ballistics missile developed in Iran is seen by analysts as a replica of North Korea’s mid-range Nodong missile.

Suleiman Warns Against War with Israel if Brotherhood Wins-Egypt's former intelligence chief warns that a Muslim Brotherhood win in the presidential elections will lead to war with Israel.By Elad Benari First Publish: 4/16/2012, 4:43 AM
A day after he was barred from the Egyptian presidential race, the country’s former intelligence chief warned Sunday against a win by the extreme Muslim Brotherhood.
Former intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, who was appointed by ex-President Hosni Mubarak as vice president in the dying days of his administration, was one of ten candidates who were barred from running in the May election on Saturday.The Presidential Elections Commission (PEC) excluded Suleiman allegedly on the basis of the geographical distribution of the signatures on his candidacy registration, according to the daily Al-Masry Al-Youm.The regulations call for a candidate's application to include a minimum of 1,000 signatures from 15 separate governorates in order to qualify for the race.On Sunday, according to a report on IDF Radio, Suleiman expressed his fear that Israel will have to invade the Sinai Peninsula if the Muslim Brotherhood ends up winning the presidential election.The report cited an interview Suleiman gave to an Egyptian newspaper and in which he said, I fear that incorrect judgments will push us into confrontations with Israel. The Sinai may become an area from which rockets are fired into Israel and the parties may be drawn into war.The Islamist Muslim Brotherhood named Khayrat el-Shater, its chief strategist and financier, as a candidate for president earlier this month, despite earlier pledges to stay out of the race.The Brotherhood, outlawed during the Mubarak regime, already controls about half of the seats in parliament.Shater, however, was also disqualified from the race along with Suleiman. Shater, released from prison in March 2011, was disqualified on the basis of a law stating candidates can only run for office six years after being pardoned or freed.Meanwhile, terrorism is already on the rise in the Sinai Peninsula, as has been the case since Mubarak’s ouster. On Sunday, two Egyptian soldiers were killed and two others were wounded by radical Salafi Islamist terrorists in the region.Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu commented earlier this month that the region is rapidly becoming a rocket launching pad for terrorists,in addition to having already become a hideout for terror cells. Israel is building a security barrier in an effort to deter attacks.Suleiman told the Egyptian newspaper he intends to appeal the decision reject his candidacy. Suleiman was given 48 hours to appeal the decision.
Israel PM: Talks have given Iran a freebie
AFPAFP – APR 16,12
Iran has bought itself extra time during a first round of key talks with world powers over its disputed nuclear programme, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday.My initial impression is that Iran has been given a freebie,Netanyahu said during talks with visiting US Senator Joe Lieberman, the premier's office reported.It has got five weeks to continue enrichment without any limitation, any inhibition. I think Iran should take immediate steps to stop all enrichment, take out all enrichment material and dismantle the nuclear facility in Qom,he said.I believe that the world's greatest practitioner of terrorism must not have the opportunity to develop atomic bombs, he said.At Saturday's talks in Istanbul, during which Iranian officials sat down with the so-called P5+1 grouping of diplomats from the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, the sides agreed to hold a more in-depth meeting in Baghdad on May 23.Officials described the talks as positive but stressed that a great deal was expected of Iran at the next meeting.
The UN Security Council has slapped four rounds of sanctions on Tehran over suspicions harboured by Israel and much of the West that Iran is seeking a militarised nuclear capability -- a charge which Tehran denies.Of special concern is Iran's formerly secret Fordo site located deep inside a mountain bunker near the holy city of Qom that is enriching to 20 percent purity but which experts say could be reconfigured to produce 90 percent weapons-grade material.Israel, which sees a nuclear Iran as an existential threat, has not ruled out a preemptive strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Iran says ready to resolve nuclear issues
ReutersReuters – APR 16,12
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran is ready to resolve all nuclear issues in the next round of talks with world powers if the West starts lifting sanctions, its foreign minister said on Monday.In an interview with the Iranian student news agency ISNA, Ali Akbar Salehi also hinted that Iran could make concessions on its higher-grade uranium enrichment, a key concern of Western powers.If the West wants to take confidence-building measures it should start in the field of sanctions because this action can speed up the process of negotiations reaching results, Salehi was quoted as saying.
If there is goodwill, one can pass through this process very easily and we are ready to resolve all issues very quickly and simply and even in the Baghdad meeting, he added, referring to a second round of talks with world powers scheduled to take place in the Iraqi capital on May 23.Salehi described an initial meeting with the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany in Istanbul on Saturday as positive and constructive.The talks had been stalled for more than a year during which time the United States and the European Union tightened sanctions on Iran which they suspect is seeking nuclear weapons capability, a charge Tehran denies.Salehi said Iran would always assert its right to process uranium for peaceful purposes but that there might be room for a compromise on higher-level enrichment.Enrichment is Iran's right but we can negotiate on how we obtain uranium with different enrichment levels, he said.Making 20 percent (enriched nuclear) fuel is our right as long as it provides for our reactor needs and there is no question about that, he said, but added:If they guarantee that they will provide us with the different levels of enriched fuel that we need, then that would be another issue.Iran says it needs uranium enriched to a purity of 20 percent to fuel a medical research reactor, but many countries see its enrichment to that level a dangerous step towards the 90 percent enrichment needed for an atomic bomb.
A deal tentatively agreed with the West in 2009 would have seen Iran exporting some of its lower enriched uranium in return for fuel for the medical reactor. The deal unraveled and diplomats on both sides have said it would need to be modified in any future agreement.(Reporting Zahra Hosseinian; Writing by Marcus George; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)
UN's Ban: Syria must allow observers full access Associated PressBy ZEINA KARAM | Associated Press – APR 16,12
BEIRUT (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Monday the Syrian government is responsible for guaranteeing U.N. observers full freedom of movement to monitor the country's tenuous cease-fire, which appeared to be unraveling as regime forces pounded the opposition stronghold of Homs, activists said.Even though the overall level of violence across Syria has dropped significantly since the truce took effect Thursday, the government's shelling of Homs over the weekend raised fresh doubts about President Bashar Assad's commitment to special envoy Kofi Annan's plan to end 13 months of violence and launch talks on the country's political future.An advance team of six observers arrived in Damascus late Sunday and quickly set about negotiating the mission's ground rules with Syrian authorities.Ban, speaking to reporters in Brussels, called on Assad to ensure the observers are not impeded in any way in their work.It is the Syrian government's responsibility to guarantee freedom of access, freedom of movement within the country, he said Monday.They should be allowed to freely move to any places where they will be able to observe this cessation of violence.He called the cease-fire very fragile, but said it was essential that it hold so that an inclusive political dialogue can continue. He said opposition forces should also fully cooperate.The U.N. plans to increase the advance team to 30 people, all of them unarmed, Ban said, adding that the Security Council is expected to authorize a formal monitoring team of about 250 people later this week.The advance team, led by Moroccan Col. Ahmed Himmiche, met Monday with Syrian Foreign Ministry officials to discuss ground rules, including what freedom of movement the observers would have, according to Annan's spokesman, Ahmad Fawzi.
Although the Security Council has demanded full access for the U.N. team, Assad's regime could try to create obstacles. The failure of an Arab League observer mission earlier this year was blamed in part on regime restrictions imposed on the monitors, including having to travel with government minders.Fawzi said in a statement issued in Geneva on Monday that the mission will start with setting up operating headquarters, and reaching out to the Syrian government and the opposition forces so that both sides fully understand the role of the U.N. observers.We will start our mission as soon as possible and we hope it will be a success,Himmiche told The Associated Press as he left a Damascus hotel along with his team Monday morning.The international community hopes U.N. observers will be able to stabilize the cease-fire, which formally took effect Thursday, although pockets of violence have persisted, particularly in the central cities of Hama and Homs.Tarek Badrakhan, an activist from the battered and almost deserted Homs district of Khaldiyeh, said the regime resumed its intense bombardment of the neighborhood early Monday.The shelling hasn't stopped for one minute since this morning. There are buildings on fire right now, he said via Skype.Badrakhan and other activists said the army appeared to be pushing to take control of the last rebel-held districts in Homs and was pounding Khaldiyeh from three sides. He said half of the nearby district of Bayada fell under the army's control Sunday night. Troops were trying to storm Qarabees and Jouret al-Shayah but the Free Syrian Army is repelling them, he said, referring to the army defectors fighting the government.We hope that the observers would come to Homs as soon as possible because if things go on like this, there won't be anything left called Homs, Badrakhan said.Two activist groups, the Local Coordination Committees and the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, confirmed the intense shelling of Homs. They also said at least five people were killed in gunfire in the central city of Hama and four in the northern city of Idlib Monday.The pounding of Homs and other scattered violence has further fueled skepticism among Western countries and the Syrian opposition that Assad will not abide by Annan's six-point plan for a cease-fire.The Syrian leader accepted the truce deal at the prodding of his main ally, Russia, but his compliance has been limited. He has halted shelling of rebel-held neighborhoods, with the exception of Homs, but ignored calls to pull troops out of urban centers, apparently for fear of losing control over a country his family has ruled for four decades. Rebel fighters have also kept up attacks, including shooting ambushes.The U.N. Security Council approved the observer mission unanimously on Saturday.
It's the first peace initiative to enjoy broad backing, including from Russia and China, who shielded the Syrian regime from Security Council censure in the past. Syrian officials said Foreign Minister Walid Moallem was headed to China for a two-day visit. Last week, Moallem met with his Russian counterpart in Moscow.Also Monday, a Hamas official said a senior member of the Palestinian group, Mustafa Lidawi, was abducted over the weekend near Damascus. In the past, Lidawi had served as the Hamas representative in Iran and Lebanon.Lidawi opposed a recent power-sharing agreement between the Islamic militant Hamas and its Western-backed rival, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and was seen as a supporter of Assad's regime. Until recently, Hamas' top leaders were based in Damascus, but became increasingly critical of Assad's crackdown on the uprising and decided to leave the country.Hamas asked the Syrian authorities to try to find Lidawi, said a senior official of the group in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the contacts. Lidawi's family told Hamas officials he was abducted Saturday.Associated Press writers Albert Aji in Damascus, John Heilprin in Geneva, Don Melvin in Brussels and Ibrahim Barzak in Gaza City, Gaza Strip contributed to this report.
Obama Incapable Of Wowing Latin American States As In 2009-Barack Obama was on the defensive at the OAS summit at Cartagena, Columbia.By Amiel Ungar First Publish: 4/16/2012, 3:44 AM
The Organization of American States summit in Cartagena, Columbia will not go down as a glorious chapter in the annals of American relations with Latin America.It bears comparison - by contrast - with the 2009 summit. Then, Barack Obama, the newly inaugurated president of the United States, still enjoyed rock star status. Even Hugo Chavez, the main challenger to American influence in Latin America, reacted to the new president by offering him a copy of his book.Now, Obama was in friendly territory in Columbia, where the United States had invested copious resources in helping the Columbian government set off the threat of the FARC narco-terrorists.
Additionally, Hugo Chavez, who normally stars at these meetings to fulminate against the US and propagate his Bolivarian revolution, was absent. The fact that Chavez gave the summit a miss to fly to Cuba for intensive cancer treatment either highlights the seriousness of his medical condition or reflects an insight that even without his presence, Barack Obama would be on the defensive.It was not a good start for American prestige when prior to the summit, 12 US Secret Service agents were sent packing for behavior that would not be tolerated on a professional sports team, let alone from an elite unit.The host, Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos, set the stage by calling in effect for the legalization of some drugs. The drug trade has caused terrible violence in Latin America, while enriching the drug cartels to the point that they can subvert security forces and government agencies.Santos also voiced the Latin American consensus that Cuba should be readmitted to the organization, a position opposed only by the United States and Canada. With the growing influence of the center-left in Latin America, many of the countries' leaders have a sneaking admiration for Fidel Castro.Finally, Santos hinted that, fine words, aside the United States was still treating Latin America as a sideshow and was more involved in faraway places such as Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The growth of China as a trading partner has also diminished American prestige and influence in the region.Finally, the special relationship between the United States and Great Britain prevents the United States from supporting Argentina's claims to the Falklands Islands, a position backed by the Latin American states.Barack Obama sidestepped Cuba by praising the democratic successes of Columbia and Brazil, intimating that one did no favors for Latin America by countenancing dictatorial basket cases such as Cuba.On the narcotics issue, Obama drew the line at legalization.(OF COURSE OBAMA SAID NO TO LEGELIZING DRUGS BECAUSE HOW COULD THE GOVERNMENT THEN BRING IT OVER FROM COLUMBIA AND AFGHANISTAN WERE THEY GUARD THE POPPIES IN AFGHANISTAN FOR THE DRUG DEALERS.AND TAKE THE BILLIONS IN PROFITS EVERY YEAR.)(MY COMMENT)

Netanyahu Thanks Police for Foiling Flytilla-Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu thanks the officers and commanders of the Israel Police for successfully foiling the flytilla.By Elad Benari First Publish: 4/16/2012, 5:16 AM
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke with Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch on Sunday evening, and thanked the officers and commanders of the Israel Police for their determined and successful operation in foiling the flytilla that was intended to be carried out at the Ben Gurion International Airport.Netanyahu told Aharonovitch,The deployment of the operational and diplomatic elements proved itself. Today, the world better understands where the true problems are in the Middle East.Earlier it was reported that several hundred police officers remained at the airport until Sunday night, to ward off possible mayhem by foreign leftists taking part in the flytilla anti-Israel protest.According to updated figures released on Sunday evening, a total of 78 radical leftists and anarchists landed at the airport throughout the day on Sunday. 56 of them were arrested for trying to cause a provocation in the Israeli terminal, 18 were deported back to their country of origin and four others are being held in a detention center at the airport.The activists who arrived at the airport were given sarcastic letters which read:Dear Activists,We appreciate your choosing to make Israel the object of your humanitarian concerns.We know there were many other worthy choices.You could have chosen to protest the Syrian regime’s daily savagery against its own people, which has claimed thousands of lives.You could have chosen to protest the Iranian regime’s brutal crackdown on dissent and its support of terrorism throughout the world.You could have chosen to protest Hamas rule in Gaza, where terror organizations commit a double war crime by firing rockets at civilians and hiding behind civilians.But instead, you chose to protest against Israel, the Middle East’s sole democracy, where women are equal, the press criticizes the government, human rights organizations can operate freely, religious freedom is protected for all - and minorities do not live in fear.Therefore, we suggest you solve the real problems of the region first, and then come back and share your experiences with us.Have a nice flight.

Spain's King Juan Carlos under fire over elephant hunting trip-Juan Carlos's expensive trip to Botswana – from which he was flown home injured – arouses anger in recession-hit country Giles Tremlett in Madrid guardian.co.uk, Sunday 15 April 2012 14.30 BST
While ordinary Spaniards cope with harsh austerity, recession and soaring unemployment, the country's royal family has been enjoying expensive hunting trips, one of which resulted in King Juan Carlos ending up in hospital.The 74-year-old monarch's fall in a park in Botswana provided an excuse for Spanish newspapers, who normally treat their royal family with kid gloves, to plaster their pages with photos of the king standing proudly in front of a dead elephant.The photograph came from the website of Botswana-based Rann Safaris, which had been taken down by Sunday. The pictures, taken before the latest hunting trip, also showed the king with two dead water buffaloes.Shoots with Rann Safaris cost upwards of $8,700 (£5,500) a week, with an elephant costing a further $15,000 to kill. A day out with professional hunter Jeff Rann, pictured with the king, costs a further $2,000.The king's accident, after which he was flown back to Madrid for a hip operation, came days after his grandson, 13-year-old Froilán Marichalar, shot himself in the foot while hunting in Spain. He also had to be hospitalised and doctors removed the contents of a 36-calibre shotgun cartridge from his foot. Newspapers reported that it was illegal for a 13-year-old to handle that type of gun.The king's hunting trip, which officials described as private, has caused a storm of angry comment from animal lovers and those wanting to know how much it had cost.A promotional video on YouTube shows Rann shooting elephants – which can be killed with licences bought at auction from the Botswana government – in the Okavango delta.
You have to manage the world's animal populations, to their betterment, says Rann, who did not answer queries from the Guardian.We are trying to improve their habitat.
King Juan Carlos has been involved in hunting scandals before. Six years ago, officials dismissed as ridiculous allegations that he had shot a drunken Russian bear that had been plied with honey and vodka. The royal family has a troubled history with guns. The king shot and killed his brother in an accident when he was a teenager.
Sarkozy wants new role for euro bank
Today APR 16,12 @ 09:29 By Valentina Pop
BRUSSELS - With just a week to go until the presidential elections, French incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy on Sunday (15 April) said the European Central Bank should get a new mandate on reviving economic growth - a no-go area for Germany.On the question of the ECB’s role in boosting growth, we French are going to open the debate, Sarkozy told supporters in central Paris during the biggest rally of his re-election campaign to date.He said that there must be no taboos in discussing the rules of the eurozone, including a more growth-oriented role for the ECB:We cannot have taboo subjects. We cannot have banned debates.The Frankfurt-based ECB was a political target for Sarkozy five years ago during the 2007 presidential election campaign. Since then he has regularly spoken out in favour of a more active role by the bank in saving ailing governments in the eurozone.This put him on collision course with German Chancellor Angela Merkel for whom the independence of the bank is sacred.In November last year as Italy and Spain's borrowing costs rose to bail-out territory, Sarkozy and Merkel, as well as Italy's Mario Monti, agreed not to publicly discuss the ECB's role to avoid the impression that the bank is subject to political influence.The bank soon rolled out the first half of a €1 trillion worth of cheap loans to banks, which in turn bought up Spanish and Italian bonds and drove the costs down.
But Spain's borrowing costs have started to rise again in recent weeks, despite the second half of cheap loans injected in the banking system.Sarkozy has other concerns however. He is trailing behind Socialist challenger Francois Hollande, who is advocating pro-growth policies and wants to adjust a Germany-driven fiscal discipline treaty.According to a TNS Sofres survey published on 13 April, Hollande would win 56 percent of the vote in the run-off scheduled for 6 May.Europe must cut its debts, it has no choice, Sarkozy said in Paris on Sunday.But between deflation and growth, it has no choice either. If it chooses deflation, it will disappear.He also hinted at some adjustments to the eurozone debt and deficit rules, as the crisis has shown the limits of these rules - similar territory to the Hollande camp.
Meanwhile, the Socialists contender urged supporters at a rival event to resist euphoria and get out and vote.
ECB staff worried about inflation
With inflation expected to stay above two percent this year, the ECB's own staff is now reportedly worried about having no protection against a slide in the value of the euro, partly caused by the institution they are working for.Unfortunately the pensions of ECB staff are not protected against inflation, Carlos Bowles, a spokesman for the ECB staff told Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. He added that there is a legal case at the European Court of Justice against the ECB on the matter.But if it were to agree to an inflation-linked adjustment to pensions, the ECB would be admitting it that it could fail in its core task: protecting the eurozone against inflation.
Pirates' to run joint campaign in next EU elections
Today APR 16,12 @ 09:29 By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - 'Pirate' parties from around the EU have agreed to campaign as one bloc and to try and form a group in the European Parliament in the 2014 elections.The decision came at a congress of the so-called Pirate Parties International, a Brussels-based NGO, in Prague over the weekend.The Prague conference is the first step in the joint campaign for the 2014 elections to the European Parliament ... Key issues for the pirate parties are transparency, an open state and better communication with the citizens,Mikulas Ferjencik, the deputy head of the Czech pirate faction told AFP.The PPI meeting also admitted two new pirate parties (from Greece and Slovakia), debated how to bring down the international anti-counterfeit treaty, Acta, and issues such as nerd-fatalism and nerd-determinism - defined by one speaker, respectively, as politics are shit so I don't participate and whatever law you make, I'll hack around it.Born out of an Internet file-sharing site called The Pirate Bay back in 2006, pirate parties have surged in popularity in Austria and Germany in recent months.A poll by broadcaster RTL in March recorded support for German pirates on 13 percent, in third place after the centre-right Christian Democrats and the centre-left SPD, but way ahead of government coalition partners, the liberal FDP party.FDP foreign minister Guido Westerwelle in an interview out on Monday in Handelsblatt described the movement as a threat to German foreign policy in terms of protecting intellectual property in countries such as China and Russia
In Austria, a pirate party on Sunday (15 April) got almost four percent in regional elections in Innsbruck, gaining seats for the first time in a regional assembly.
Pirate parties currently exist in over 50 countries worldwide, including Belarus and post-Arab-Spring Tunisia, and in all but one - Malta - EU member states.The last EU elections in 2009 saw two Swedish pirate candidates win seats in Strasbourg - 42-year-old Christian Engstrom and 24-year-old Amelia Andersdotter, the youngest member of the assembly. Both joined the Green group and are members of the industry, legal affairs and internal market committees, as well as delegaions to south-east Asia and Korea.In a potential foretaste of things to come, the pair have diligently attended plenary sessions and voted in line with Green party positions.Engstrom has drafted one report: on the Internet of Things, the practice of giving digital tags to physical objects, such as export products or household appliances, so that they can be monitored or controlled online.
The two MEPs have shown an interest in amendments, resolutions and parliamentary questions on a list of subjects which goes beyond Internet issues such as Acta and Wikileaks, and includes civil liberties in Burma, the persecution of Christian minorities in the Middle East, the salaries of EU officials and media laws in Hungary.

Seven Firebombs on Jewish Homes in Mount of Olives-No one hurt in attack. Security guards fired in the air, causing terrorist to flee. MK Eldad: police endangering Jews.By Gil Ronen First Publish: 4/16/2012, 3:02 PM
A terrorist hurled seven firebombs at Jewish homes Sunday night in Maaleh HaZeitim, on Jerusalem's Mount of Olives.The terrorist's face was covered. He came carrying ten firebombs and managed to throw seven of them at ground floor apartments in the compound, causing a fire to break out in one of them. The compound's security guards identified the terrorist and fired in the air, causing him to flee.MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union) said Monday that police arrived on the scene and proceeded to question the security men over their decision to fire in the air.The Commander of the Jerusalem District deserves to be sacked for a lot less than that,said Eldad.
Eldad wrote to the Minister of Public Security and asked him to reissue the instructions on opening fire, and to clarify that a firebomb is a deadly weapon and that whoever uses it should be fired at, with intention to hit him.The worst outcome of all would be if the terrorist who meant to burn Jews in their sleep will continue his actions while the security men who dared to protect the residents' lives are sacked from their jobs,he added.
Iran Cozies up to N. Korea, Watches Rocket Launch-Iranian missile experts were present at a failed North Korean rocket launch last week, according to foreign media.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 4/16/2012, 4:27 PM
Iranian missile experts were present at a failed North Korean rocket launch last week, according to foreign media.The missile blew up over the Yellow Sea soon after laucnhing, but the presence of Iranian experts underscores the close ties between the countries, both of which threaten international stability with nuclear weapons programs.A dozen Iranian experts and executives present at the launch are from the sanctioned Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group in Iran.The Iranians undoubtedly were there to observe the missile launch and receive test data from North Korea, a diplomatic source was quoted as telling the Yonhap news agency.Korea, Iran and Syria have long been suspected of working together, and several North Korean scientists reportedly were killed four years ago when Israel clandestinely bombed a nuclear structure under construction in northern Syria.A Shabab ballistics missile developed in Iran is seen by analysts as a replica of North Korea’s mid-range Nodong missile.
THIS WILL BE THE RESULT IF WAR BETWEEN EGYPT-ISRAEL.ISRAEL WILL INHERIT SOME OF THEIR PROMISED LAND AS A RESULT.

Suleiman Warns Against War with Israel if Brotherhood Wins-Egypt's former intelligence chief warns that a Muslim Brotherhood win in the presidential elections will lead to war with Israel.By Elad Benari First Publish: 4/16/2012, 4:43 AM
A day after he was barred from the Egyptian presidential race, the country’s former intelligence chief warned Sunday against a win by the extreme Muslim Brotherhood.
Former intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, who was appointed by ex-President Hosni Mubarak as vice president in the dying days of his administration, was one of ten candidates who were barred from running in the May election on Saturday.The Presidential Elections Commission (PEC) excluded Suleiman allegedly on the basis of the geographical distribution of the signatures on his candidacy registration, according to the daily Al-Masry Al-Youm.The regulations call for a candidate's application to include a minimum of 1,000 signatures from 15 separate governorates in order to qualify for the race.On Sunday, according to a report on IDF Radio, Suleiman expressed his fear that Israel will have to invade the Sinai Peninsula if the Muslim Brotherhood ends up winning the presidential election.The report cited an interview Suleiman gave to an Egyptian newspaper and in which he said, I fear that incorrect judgments will push us into confrontations with Israel. The Sinai may become an area from which rockets are fired into Israel and the parties may be drawn into war.The Islamist Muslim Brotherhood named Khayrat el-Shater, its chief strategist and financier, as a candidate for president earlier this month, despite earlier pledges to stay out of the race.The Brotherhood, outlawed during the Mubarak regime, already controls about half of the seats in parliament.Shater, however, was also disqualified from the race along with Suleiman. Shater, released from prison in March 2011, was disqualified on the basis of a law stating candidates can only run for office six years after being pardoned or freed.Meanwhile, terrorism is already on the rise in the Sinai Peninsula, as has been the case since Mubarak’s ouster. On Sunday, two Egyptian soldiers were killed and two others were wounded by radical Salafi Islamist terrorists in the region.Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu commented earlier this month that the region is rapidly becoming a rocket launching pad for terrorists,in addition to having already become a hideout for terror cells. Israel is building a security barrier in an effort to deter attacks.Suleiman told the Egyptian newspaper he intends to appeal the decision reject his candidacy. Suleiman was given 48 hours to appeal the decision.
Israel PM: Talks have given Iran a freebie
AFPAFP – APR 16,12
Iran has bought itself extra time during a first round of key talks with world powers over its disputed nuclear programme, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday.My initial impression is that Iran has been given a freebie,Netanyahu said during talks with visiting US Senator Joe Lieberman, the premier's office reported.It has got five weeks to continue enrichment without any limitation, any inhibition. I think Iran should take immediate steps to stop all enrichment, take out all enrichment material and dismantle the nuclear facility in Qom,he said.I believe that the world's greatest practitioner of terrorism must not have the opportunity to develop atomic bombs, he said.At Saturday's talks in Istanbul, during which Iranian officials sat down with the so-called P5+1 grouping of diplomats from the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, the sides agreed to hold a more in-depth meeting in Baghdad on May 23.Officials described the talks as positive but stressed that a great deal was expected of Iran at the next meeting.
The UN Security Council has slapped four rounds of sanctions on Tehran over suspicions harboured by Israel and much of the West that Iran is seeking a militarised nuclear capability -- a charge which Tehran denies.Of special concern is Iran's formerly secret Fordo site located deep inside a mountain bunker near the holy city of Qom that is enriching to 20 percent purity but which experts say could be reconfigured to produce 90 percent weapons-grade material.Israel, which sees a nuclear Iran as an existential threat, has not ruled out a preemptive strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Iran says ready to resolve nuclear issues
ReutersReuters – APR 16,12
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran is ready to resolve all nuclear issues in the next round of talks with world powers if the West starts lifting sanctions, its foreign minister said on Monday.In an interview with the Iranian student news agency ISNA, Ali Akbar Salehi also hinted that Iran could make concessions on its higher-grade uranium enrichment, a key concern of Western powers.If the West wants to take confidence-building measures it should start in the field of sanctions because this action can speed up the process of negotiations reaching results, Salehi was quoted as saying.
If there is goodwill, one can pass through this process very easily and we are ready to resolve all issues very quickly and simply and even in the Baghdad meeting, he added, referring to a second round of talks with world powers scheduled to take place in the Iraqi capital on May 23.Salehi described an initial meeting with the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany in Istanbul on Saturday as positive and constructive.The talks had been stalled for more than a year during which time the United States and the European Union tightened sanctions on Iran which they suspect is seeking nuclear weapons capability, a charge Tehran denies.Salehi said Iran would always assert its right to process uranium for peaceful purposes but that there might be room for a compromise on higher-level enrichment.Enrichment is Iran's right but we can negotiate on how we obtain uranium with different enrichment levels, he said.Making 20 percent (enriched nuclear) fuel is our right as long as it provides for our reactor needs and there is no question about that, he said, but added:If they guarantee that they will provide us with the different levels of enriched fuel that we need, then that would be another issue.Iran says it needs uranium enriched to a purity of 20 percent to fuel a medical research reactor, but many countries see its enrichment to that level a dangerous step towards the 90 percent enrichment needed for an atomic bomb.
A deal tentatively agreed with the West in 2009 would have seen Iran exporting some of its lower enriched uranium in return for fuel for the medical reactor. The deal unraveled and diplomats on both sides have said it would need to be modified in any future agreement.(Reporting Zahra Hosseinian; Writing by Marcus George; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)
UN's Ban: Syria must allow observers full access Associated PressBy ZEINA KARAM | Associated Press – APR 16,12
BEIRUT (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Monday the Syrian government is responsible for guaranteeing U.N. observers full freedom of movement to monitor the country's tenuous cease-fire, which appeared to be unraveling as regime forces pounded the opposition stronghold of Homs, activists said.Even though the overall level of violence across Syria has dropped significantly since the truce took effect Thursday, the government's shelling of Homs over the weekend raised fresh doubts about President Bashar Assad's commitment to special envoy Kofi Annan's plan to end 13 months of violence and launch talks on the country's political future.An advance team of six observers arrived in Damascus late Sunday and quickly set about negotiating the mission's ground rules with Syrian authorities.Ban, speaking to reporters in Brussels, called on Assad to ensure the observers are not impeded in any way in their work.It is the Syrian government's responsibility to guarantee freedom of access, freedom of movement within the country, he said Monday.They should be allowed to freely move to any places where they will be able to observe this cessation of violence.He called the cease-fire very fragile, but said it was essential that it hold so that an inclusive political dialogue can continue. He said opposition forces should also fully cooperate.The U.N. plans to increase the advance team to 30 people, all of them unarmed, Ban said, adding that the Security Council is expected to authorize a formal monitoring team of about 250 people later this week.The advance team, led by Moroccan Col. Ahmed Himmiche, met Monday with Syrian Foreign Ministry officials to discuss ground rules, including what freedom of movement the observers would have, according to Annan's spokesman, Ahmad Fawzi.
Although the Security Council has demanded full access for the U.N. team, Assad's regime could try to create obstacles. The failure of an Arab League observer mission earlier this year was blamed in part on regime restrictions imposed on the monitors, including having to travel with government minders.Fawzi said in a statement issued in Geneva on Monday that the mission will start with setting up operating headquarters, and reaching out to the Syrian government and the opposition forces so that both sides fully understand the role of the U.N. observers.We will start our mission as soon as possible and we hope it will be a success,Himmiche told The Associated Press as he left a Damascus hotel along with his team Monday morning.The international community hopes U.N. observers will be able to stabilize the cease-fire, which formally took effect Thursday, although pockets of violence have persisted, particularly in the central cities of Hama and Homs.Tarek Badrakhan, an activist from the battered and almost deserted Homs district of Khaldiyeh, said the regime resumed its intense bombardment of the neighborhood early Monday.The shelling hasn't stopped for one minute since this morning. There are buildings on fire right now, he said via Skype.Badrakhan and other activists said the army appeared to be pushing to take control of the last rebel-held districts in Homs and was pounding Khaldiyeh from three sides. He said half of the nearby district of Bayada fell under the army's control Sunday night. Troops were trying to storm Qarabees and Jouret al-Shayah but the Free Syrian Army is repelling them, he said, referring to the army defectors fighting the government.We hope that the observers would come to Homs as soon as possible because if things go on like this, there won't be anything left called Homs, Badrakhan said.Two activist groups, the Local Coordination Committees and the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, confirmed the intense shelling of Homs. They also said at least five people were killed in gunfire in the central city of Hama and four in the northern city of Idlib Monday.The pounding of Homs and other scattered violence has further fueled skepticism among Western countries and the Syrian opposition that Assad will not abide by Annan's six-point plan for a cease-fire.The Syrian leader accepted the truce deal at the prodding of his main ally, Russia, but his compliance has been limited. He has halted shelling of rebel-held neighborhoods, with the exception of Homs, but ignored calls to pull troops out of urban centers, apparently for fear of losing control over a country his family has ruled for four decades. Rebel fighters have also kept up attacks, including shooting ambushes.The U.N. Security Council approved the observer mission unanimously on Saturday.
It's the first peace initiative to enjoy broad backing, including from Russia and China, who shielded the Syrian regime from Security Council censure in the past. Syrian officials said Foreign Minister Walid Moallem was headed to China for a two-day visit. Last week, Moallem met with his Russian counterpart in Moscow.Also Monday, a Hamas official said a senior member of the Palestinian group, Mustafa Lidawi, was abducted over the weekend near Damascus. In the past, Lidawi had served as the Hamas representative in Iran and Lebanon.Lidawi opposed a recent power-sharing agreement between the Islamic militant Hamas and its Western-backed rival, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and was seen as a supporter of Assad's regime. Until recently, Hamas' top leaders were based in Damascus, but became increasingly critical of Assad's crackdown on the uprising and decided to leave the country.Hamas asked the Syrian authorities to try to find Lidawi, said a senior official of the group in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the contacts. Lidawi's family told Hamas officials he was abducted Saturday.Associated Press writers Albert Aji in Damascus, John Heilprin in Geneva, Don Melvin in Brussels and Ibrahim Barzak in Gaza City, Gaza Strip contributed to this report.
Obama Incapable Of Wowing Latin American States As In 2009-Barack Obama was on the defensive at the OAS summit at Cartagena, Columbia.By Amiel Ungar First Publish: 4/16/2012, 3:44 AM
The Organization of American States summit in Cartagena, Columbia will not go down as a glorious chapter in the annals of American relations with Latin America.It bears comparison - by contrast - with the 2009 summit. Then, Barack Obama, the newly inaugurated president of the United States, still enjoyed rock star status. Even Hugo Chavez, the main challenger to American influence in Latin America, reacted to the new president by offering him a copy of his book.Now, Obama was in friendly territory in Columbia, where the United States had invested copious resources in helping the Columbian government set off the threat of the FARC narco-terrorists.
Additionally, Hugo Chavez, who normally stars at these meetings to fulminate against the US and propagate his Bolivarian revolution, was absent. The fact that Chavez gave the summit a miss to fly to Cuba for intensive cancer treatment either highlights the seriousness of his medical condition or reflects an insight that even without his presence, Barack Obama would be on the defensive.It was not a good start for American prestige when prior to the summit, 12 US Secret Service agents were sent packing for behavior that would not be tolerated on a professional sports team, let alone from an elite unit.The host, Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos, set the stage by calling in effect for the legalization of some drugs. The drug trade has caused terrible violence in Latin America, while enriching the drug cartels to the point that they can subvert security forces and government agencies.Santos also voiced the Latin American consensus that Cuba should be readmitted to the organization, a position opposed only by the United States and Canada. With the growing influence of the center-left in Latin America, many of the countries' leaders have a sneaking admiration for Fidel Castro.Finally, Santos hinted that, fine words, aside the United States was still treating Latin America as a sideshow and was more involved in faraway places such as Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The growth of China as a trading partner has also diminished American prestige and influence in the region.Finally, the special relationship between the United States and Great Britain prevents the United States from supporting Argentina's claims to the Falklands Islands, a position backed by the Latin American states.Barack Obama sidestepped Cuba by praising the democratic successes of Columbia and Brazil, intimating that one did no favors for Latin America by countenancing dictatorial basket cases such as Cuba.On the narcotics issue, Obama drew the line at legalization.(OF COURSE OBAMA SAID NO TO LEGELIZING DRUGS BECAUSE HOW COULD THE GOVERNMENT THEN BRING IT OVER FROM COLUMBIA AND AFGHANISTAN WERE THEY GUARD THE POPPIES IN AFGHANISTAN FOR THE DRUG DEALERS.AND TAKE THE BILLIONS IN PROFITS EVERY YEAR.)(MY COMMENT)

TORNADOES IN MIDWEST
STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES
LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

Twisters Kill 5 in Oklahoma; Tear Through Kansas, Iowa Posted on: 9:21 am, April 15, 2012, by Jessica Bates, updated on: 09:35am, April 15, 2012 FOX 8 CLEVELAND
WICHITA, Kansas (CNN) — Three states face the most danger of possible tornadoes Sunday, as parts of the Midwest assess the damage from storms that have left at least five people dead in Oklahoma.The National Weather Service received 121 reports of possible tornado touchdowns Saturday and early Sunday in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa.Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback told CNN Sunday that 97 tornadoes touched down in his state; the National Weather Service has not confirmed the exact number of twisters.While severe weather could continue to hammer much of the region, the states in the bull’s-eye for the most dangerous conditions Sunday will likely be Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa, said CNN Meteorologist Alexandra Steele.Authorities call on everyone in the region to follow weather reports and make emergency preparations.About 5 million residents from Wisconsin to Texas need to be on guard, Steele said.Some of the bigger cities that could see isolated tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds are: Green Bay, Chicago, St. Louis, Little Rock, and Houston.Five people, including two children, died from injuries related to a suspected tornado in the northwest Oklahoma town of Woodward early Sunday morning, said Amy Elliott of the state Medical Examiner’s Office.Woodward Mayor Roscoe Hill said 37 people were injured, including several critically, in the storm that struck the town shortly after midnight.This thing comes in the middle of the night. It caught us asleep, mostly, Hill told CNN.
A tornado warning siren that had sounded a day earlier failed to go off when the suspected tornado struck, Hill said. He said it was unclear if the warning system was damaged by the storm.Everything is dark. Buildings have been tore up,he said.Hill said a suspected tornado touched down in front of his nephew’s house, destroying several buildings, including a carpet store. There was also extensive damage to a new residential area in the town, he said.It’s a typical tornado scene. It flattened the west part of our town,he said.Brownback declared a state of disaster emergency to help speed relief to areas affected by storms.He credits early warnings for the lack of fatalities in his state.Warnings for this system came two days in advance, rather than just a matter of hours, and were remarkably accurate, he said. People took it very seriously.Emergency officials, stymied by the dark and heavy rainfall as they tried to check on residents, planned to resume their search Sunday morning, Kansas officials said.Despite extensive damage reported in many parts of the state, no deaths were reported, officials said.About 11,000 customers were without power across the state, Westar Energy said.In southwest Iowa, officials evacuated the entire population — roughly 300 people — of the town of Thurman after a suspected tornado struck Saturday, damaging or destroying three out of every four homes.By early Sunday morning, many Thurman residents who took up temporary shelter at a high school in nearby Tabor were again in the path of a storm that spawned suspected tornadoes in neighboring Kansas.I can hear the rumbling in the distance. You can see the lightning. Whatever is in Kansas is coming this way, said Mike Crecelius, Fremont County’s emergency management director.A sign in a park that bears the town’s name is one of the few things still standing, Crecelius said.That’s about all there is. About 75% of the homes are damaged or destroyed, Crecelius said. From the looks of things, there won’t be a tree left in that town either.Across the south and central Plains, storm chasers broadcast images of funnel clouds roaring through rural landscapes.Residents in some high-risk areas received new warnings intended to grab their attention and prompt them to find safe shelter.In the basement of 30-year-old Lacy Jay Hansen’s home in downtown Wichita, Kansas, she and her family donned bicycle helmets and crouched against a corner as a suspected tornado churned its way toward her home.It turned right in the nick of time for us, striking this other neighborhood, she said. But now there are other people we know and love in the path of it.
Through text messages and tweets, the Hansens learned that the storm that spared their house destroyed a friend’s house several miles away.Eleven months ago, Hansen, her husband and son were in Joplin, Missouri, visiting their ailing grandfather in a hospital when a tornado ripped through, killing 158 people.None of us were supposed to be there, she said.We’ve always taken it seriously. But ever since then, we take it more seriously.The tornado that tore through Joplin was one of 1,691 tornadoes that killed a total of 550 people in 2011, according to the National Weather Service. Last year was the 4th deadliest tornado year in U.S. history.The tragedy in Joplin triggered stronger warnings by the weather service to life-threatening storms. More than 24 hours before the storms began rolling across the Midwest on Saturday, the service was warning residents of the storm’s potential damage.At the Marriott in downtown Wichita, Johnny Williams watched over eight children in an interior ballroom where they took shelter.The group, from Oklahoma City, was in town for a basketball camp when the storm struck.We play together as a team, and we believe together as a team, Williams said.We really believe everything will be all right.The storm flooded parts of downtown Wichita, and McConnell Air Force Base also sustained damage, authorities said.A roof collapsed at Spirit Aero Systems, which produces fuselages and other equipment for Boeing aircraft, and damage was also reported to Hawker Beechcraft, which manufacturers high-performance business jets and turboprop planes.At the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, a suspected tornado tossed baggage carts across the runways, overturned jetways and blew out windows, affiliate KSNW told CNN.Earlier, a confirmed tornado struck a hospital in Creston, Iowa, blowing out windows and damaging the roof, John Benson of Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management said. There were no major injuries reported, and the patients were relocated to other area hospitals.CNN’s Susan Candiotti reported from Kansas and Rob Marciano reported from Oklahoma and Kansas. CNN’s Josh Levs, Randi Kaye and Maria P. White reported from Atlanta.
Reported tornadoes, strong storms batter Midwest amid warnings of life-threatening weather-Severe weather bears down on Midwest, Plains By TIMBERLY ROSS | Associated Press | APR 15,12
Storms were reported in Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Emergency officials in Iowa said a large part of the town of Thurman in the western part of the state was destroyed but no one was injured. A hospital in Creston, southwest of Des Moines, was damaged but patients and staff were not hurt.And a reported tornado in Wichita, Kan., caused widespread power outages and other damage, including to housing and at an Air Force Base.National Weather Service forecasters issued sobering outlooks that the worst of the weather would hit around nightfall, predicting that conditions were right for exceptionally strong tornadoes. Weather officials and emergency management officials worried most about what would happen if strong storms hit when people were sleeping, not paying attention to weather reports and unlikely to hear warning sirens.When it's dark, it's also more difficult for weather spotters to clearly see funnel clouds or tornadoes.This could go into, certainly, to overnight situations, which is always of immense concern to us, said Michelann Ooten, an official with the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management.The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., which specializes in tornado forecasting, said that the outbreak could be a high-end, life-threatening event nearly two days before the weather hit.
It was just the second time in U.S. history that the center issued a high-risk warning more than 24 hours in advance. The first was in April 2006, when nearly 100 tornadoes tore across the southeastern U.S., killing a dozen people and damaging more than 1,000 homes in Tennessee.While there were no fatalities as of Saturday evening, storms were erupting faster than spotters could tally them all. The danger began Saturday morning when tornado sirens sounded in Oklahoma City around dawn.One of the suspected tornadoes in central Oklahoma touched down near the small town of Piedmont and followed a similar path the one last May that killed several people, Mayor Valerie Thomerson said. Later in the day, several tornadoes were reported to have touched down in the northeast part of the state.

Crecelius said the town was on lockdown and that officials and residents expect to start cleaning up on Sunday.
In Creston, about 75 miles from Des Moines, the Greater Regional Medical Center suffered roof damage and had some of its windows blown out by a storm, said John Benson, a spokesman for Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management. No injuries were reported. Medical center officials were calling other area hospitals to determine how many beds they had available in case they needed to move patients.The National Weather Service in Des Moines also received reports of high winds that toppled at least five semis on Interstate 29.In northeast Nebraska, Boone County Sheriff David Spiegel said baseball-sized hail had damaged vehicles, shattered windows and tore siding from houses in and around Petersburg, about 140 miles northwest of Omaha. In southeast Nebraska, an apparent tornado took down barns, large trees, and some small rural structures. Johnson County emergency director Clint Strayhorn said he was trying to determine the twister's duration and the damage it caused.I'm on a 2-mile stretch that this thing is on the ground and I haven't even gotten to the end of it yet,he said, walking the path of destruction near the Johnson-Nemaha county line.

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.
ITS REPORTED THAT 120 TORNADOES TOUCHED DOWN SO FAR IN THE MIDWEST.
Twisters Kill 5 in Oklahoma; Tear Through Kansas, Iowa Posted on: 9:21 am, April 15, 2012, by Jessica Bates, updated on: 09:35am, April 15, 2012 FOX 8 CLEVELAND
WICHITA, Kansas (CNN) — Three states face the most danger of possible tornadoes Sunday, as parts of the Midwest assess the damage from storms that have left at least five people dead in Oklahoma.The National Weather Service received 121 reports of possible tornado touchdowns Saturday and early Sunday in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa.Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback told CNN Sunday that 97 tornadoes touched down in his state; the National Weather Service has not confirmed the exact number of twisters.While severe weather could continue to hammer much of the region, the states in the bull’s-eye for the most dangerous conditions Sunday will likely be Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa, said CNN Meteorologist Alexandra Steele.Authorities call on everyone in the region to follow weather reports and make emergency preparations.About 5 million residents from Wisconsin to Texas need to be on guard, Steele said.Some of the bigger cities that could see isolated tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds are: Green Bay, Chicago, St. Louis, Little Rock, and Houston.Five people, including two children, died from injuries related to a suspected tornado in the northwest Oklahoma town of Woodward early Sunday morning, said Amy Elliott of the state Medical Examiner’s Office.Woodward Mayor Roscoe Hill said 37 people were injured, including several critically, in the storm that struck the town shortly after midnight.This thing comes in the middle of the night. It caught us asleep, mostly, Hill told CNN.
A tornado warning siren that had sounded a day earlier failed to go off when the suspected tornado struck, Hill said. He said it was unclear if the warning system was damaged by the storm.Everything is dark. Buildings have been tore up,he said.Hill said a suspected tornado touched down in front of his nephew’s house, destroying several buildings, including a carpet store. There was also extensive damage to a new residential area in the town, he said.It’s a typical tornado scene. It flattened the west part of our town,he said.Brownback declared a state of disaster emergency to help speed relief to areas affected by storms.He credits early warnings for the lack of fatalities in his state.Warnings for this system came two days in advance, rather than just a matter of hours, and were remarkably accurate, he said. People took it very seriously.Emergency officials, stymied by the dark and heavy rainfall as they tried to check on residents, planned to resume their search Sunday morning, Kansas officials said.Despite extensive damage reported in many parts of the state, no deaths were reported, officials said.About 11,000 customers were without power across the state, Westar Energy said.In southwest Iowa, officials evacuated the entire population — roughly 300 people — of the town of Thurman after a suspected tornado struck Saturday, damaging or destroying three out of every four homes.By early Sunday morning, many Thurman residents who took up temporary shelter at a high school in nearby Tabor were again in the path of a storm that spawned suspected tornadoes in neighboring Kansas.I can hear the rumbling in the distance. You can see the lightning. Whatever is in Kansas is coming this way, said Mike Crecelius, Fremont County’s emergency management director.A sign in a park that bears the town’s name is one of the few things still standing, Crecelius said.That’s about all there is. About 75% of the homes are damaged or destroyed, Crecelius said. From the looks of things, there won’t be a tree left in that town either.Across the south and central Plains, storm chasers broadcast images of funnel clouds roaring through rural landscapes.Residents in some high-risk areas received new warnings intended to grab their attention and prompt them to find safe shelter.In the basement of 30-year-old Lacy Jay Hansen’s home in downtown Wichita, Kansas, she and her family donned bicycle helmets and crouched against a corner as a suspected tornado churned its way toward her home.It turned right in the nick of time for us, striking this other neighborhood, she said. But now there are other people we know and love in the path of it.
Through text messages and tweets, the Hansens learned that the storm that spared their house destroyed a friend’s house several miles away.Eleven months ago, Hansen, her husband and son were in Joplin, Missouri, visiting their ailing grandfather in a hospital when a tornado ripped through, killing 158 people.None of us were supposed to be there, she said.We’ve always taken it seriously. But ever since then, we take it more seriously.The tornado that tore through Joplin was one of 1,691 tornadoes that killed a total of 550 people in 2011, according to the National Weather Service. Last year was the 4th deadliest tornado year in U.S. history.The tragedy in Joplin triggered stronger warnings by the weather service to life-threatening storms. More than 24 hours before the storms began rolling across the Midwest on Saturday, the service was warning residents of the storm’s potential damage.At the Marriott in downtown Wichita, Johnny Williams watched over eight children in an interior ballroom where they took shelter.The group, from Oklahoma City, was in town for a basketball camp when the storm struck.We play together as a team, and we believe together as a team, Williams said.We really believe everything will be all right.The storm flooded parts of downtown Wichita, and McConnell Air Force Base also sustained damage, authorities said.A roof collapsed at Spirit Aero Systems, which produces fuselages and other equipment for Boeing aircraft, and damage was also reported to Hawker Beechcraft, which manufacturers high-performance business jets and turboprop planes.At the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, a suspected tornado tossed baggage carts across the runways, overturned jetways and blew out windows, affiliate KSNW told CNN.Earlier, a confirmed tornado struck a hospital in Creston, Iowa, blowing out windows and damaging the roof, John Benson of Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management said. There were no major injuries reported, and the patients were relocated to other area hospitals.CNN’s Susan Candiotti reported from Kansas and Rob Marciano reported from Oklahoma and Kansas. CNN’s Josh Levs, Randi Kaye and Maria P. White reported from Atlanta.
Reported tornadoes, strong storms batter Midwest amid warnings of life-threatening weather-Severe weather bears down on Midwest, Plains By TIMBERLY ROSS | Associated Press | APR 15,12
Storms were reported in Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Emergency officials in Iowa said a large part of the town of Thurman in the western part of the state was destroyed but no one was injured. A hospital in Creston, southwest of Des Moines, was damaged but patients and staff were not hurt.And a reported tornado in Wichita, Kan., caused widespread power outages and other damage, including to housing and at an Air Force Base.National Weather Service forecasters issued sobering outlooks that the worst of the weather would hit around nightfall, predicting that conditions were right for exceptionally strong tornadoes. Weather officials and emergency management officials worried most about what would happen if strong storms hit when people were sleeping, not paying attention to weather reports and unlikely to hear warning sirens.When it's dark, it's also more difficult for weather spotters to clearly see funnel clouds or tornadoes.This could go into, certainly, to overnight situations, which is always of immense concern to us, said Michelann Ooten, an official with the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management.The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., which specializes in tornado forecasting, said that the outbreak could be a high-end, life-threatening event nearly two days before the weather hit.
It was just the second time in U.S. history that the center issued a high-risk warning more than 24 hours in advance. The first was in April 2006, when nearly 100 tornadoes tore across the southeastern U.S., killing a dozen people and damaging more than 1,000 homes in Tennessee.While there were no fatalities as of Saturday evening, storms were erupting faster than spotters could tally them all. The danger began Saturday morning when tornado sirens sounded in Oklahoma City around dawn.One of the suspected tornadoes in central Oklahoma touched down near the small town of Piedmont and followed a similar path the one last May that killed several people, Mayor Valerie Thomerson said. Later in the day, several tornadoes were reported to have touched down in the northeast part of the state.
