Israel prepares for solemn, silent Day of Atonement

Jewish state grinds to a halt on Yom Kippur as businesses, TV stations, airports and highways shut down until Saturday night

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israelis prepared for the holiest day of the Jewish calendar on Friday when the entire country grinds almost to a halt for Yom Kippur, Judaism’s day of atonement.Jews traditionally spend the solemn day fasting and asking God for forgiveness at intense prayer services in synagogues. It caps a 10-day period of soul-searching that began with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year holiday.In Israel, the country virtually shuts down for Yom Kippur. Businesses, restaurants and offices close, and TV and radio stations go silent. Airports close and buses and trains stop running. Highways and roads become eerily quiet, devoid of vehicles.Yom Kippur is unique in Israel because it touches almost the entire country. A high portion of the secular population observes the fast — and even those who don’t fast tend to refrain from eating in public, and quietly watch movies or rest at home.Many secular, mostly younger, Israelis ride bicycles and skateboards through the empty roads in some areas.The Israeli military closed crossings with the West Bank for the holiday, which starts on Friday evening, citing “security assessments.”Israel has imposed West Bank closures during most Jewish holidays in recent years due to concerns that Palestinian militants could take advantage of the occasion to carry out attacks inside Israel.This year, the holiday marks 40 years to the 1973 Arab-Israel War, which Israelis call the Yom Kippur War because of the surprise attack launched by the Egyptian and Syrian armies against Israel that year.The war is etched deep in Israel’s collective psyche due to the heavy losses sustained in the fighting and because of the country’s lack of preparedness. For Israelis, it is one of the most traumatic events in their history. Personal accounts of Israelis who participated in that war or who were scarred by its occurrence filled newspapers and talk shows ahead of this year’s holiday.The holiday also comes amid the crisis over reports of chemical weapons use in neighboring Syria’s civil war.Israel is warily watching as the international community decides how to respond to the use of the deadly munitions that allegedly killed hundreds near Damascus last month. Washington and its allies say the Syrian regime of President Bashar Assad fired warheads in the Aug. 21 attack with a nerve agent, most likely sarin.Israel has said it doesn’t want to get involved in the fighting but has also warned it will not tolerate chemical weapons reaching violent groups sworn to its destruction, such as the Iranian backed Lebanese Hezbollah group or the al-Qaida affiliates fighting in Syria against the regime.For devout Jews, Yom Kippur is the most solemn day on the calendar where according to tradition, God weighs people’s deeds and decides their fate for the next year.On Thursday night, thousands of Jews attended pre Yom Kippur prayers in Jerusalem at the Western Wall, a remnant of the biblical Jewish Temple compound and the holiest site where Jews can pray.Those observing the holiday refrain from food and drink and adhere to prohibitions that ban work, using electricity or operating any kind of machinery. The ban on drinking is especially tough in Israel where meteorologists have predicted the holiday this year will be the hottest in decades. Medics are on alert around the country to deal with emergencies.

Security forces gear up for Yom Kippur

West Bank to remain under closure until nightfall Saturday; MDA on high alert as high temperatures expected

By Times of Israel staff September 13, 2013, 2:29 am 1-The Times of Israel

Israel Police forces, Border Patrol officers and volunteer policemen were on high alert for Yom Kippur, with a special emphasis on mixed cities, like Acre and Jaffa, and areas of high sensitivity like the Temple Mount, Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino said Thursday.In addition, the West Bank was placed under closure starting Thursday night, until Saturday evening when the Day of Atonement comes to an end.

In Jerusalem, forces were to spread out across the city, securing synagogues, the Western Wall, areas along the seamline and those prone to violent demonstrations, and set up roadblocks leading from the eastern part of the city. The police called on those riding bicycles around Jerusalem to use caution.Police said they would allow only Muslim worshipers over the age of 45 with an Israeli ID card and women of all ages to access the Temple Mount, in order to prevent disturbances like the ones that occurred ahead of and during Rosh Hashanah when young Palestinian men clashed with police. officers.Israel’s civilian airspace was closed to traffic starting Friday afternoon, until Saturday night.The country’s paramedic service, Magen David Adom, was also on alert ahead of the extremely high temperatures expected during the holiday, which may turn out to be the highest in over a decade.Every year, MDA treats on average 2,000 people during Yom Kippur.

20 years on, Oslo Accords promise rings hollow

Negotiators on both sides say mistakes they made then are causing damage to this day

ABU DIS, West Bank (AP) — In 1993, the words rang hopeful and historic. Israel and the PLO agreed “it is time to put an end to decades of confrontation and conflict,” live in peaceful coexistence and reach a “just, lasting and comprehensive peace settlement.”Twenty years later, the words that launched Israeli-Palestinian talks on dividing the Holy Land into two states ring hollow to many on both sides. Negotiators say mistakes they made then are causing damage to this day.Palestinians seem no closer now than they were 20 years ago to a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, and some argue they are worse off. The number of Israeli settlers has doubled. East Jerusalem is cut off by an Israeli barrier. Gaza, ruled by the Islamic terror group Hamas since 2007, is turning into a distinct enclave.Many Israelis, scarred by Palestinian suicide bombings and rocket fire from Gaza, are skeptical of the other side’s intentions and believe the politically divided Palestinians cannot carry out a peace deal, even if one is reached.The Declaration of Principles, sealed with a handshake on the White House lawn on September 13, 1993, was hailed as a breakthrough in the century-old conflict between Arabs and Jews. It was the first of a series of agreements — known as the Oslo Accords, after the secret talks in Norway that led to them — that created the Palestinian Authority and set up self-rule areas in the Palestinian territories.It also produced broken promises, bouts of violence and two failed attempts to negotiate a final peace deal.Former Palestinian negotiator Ahmed Qurei said that if he knew then what he knows now he wouldn’t have agreed to the accords.“With such kinds of blocs of settlements? No. With the closure of Jerusalem? No. Not at all,” Qurei said in an interview at his office in the Jerusalem suburb of Abu Dis.Qurei’s Israeli counterpart in those secret talks, former deputy foreign minister Yossi Beilin, said it was a mistake to allow for a five-year interim period of Palestinian autonomy. This, he said, gave veto powers to hard-liners — Hamas on the Palestinian side, settlers and right-wing politicians on the Israeli side.“It was a foolish idea. We had to get immediately to a permanent agreement, as we did with Egypt, as we did with Jordan, rather than to open up the process for the oppositions on both sides,” Beilin said.The negotiators should have seized a “moment of grace” in 1993, he said. But Beilin noted that Israel’s then-prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, feared failure if he moved too quickly.Last month, Israelis and Palestinians launched a third attempt to negotiate a peace deal, prodded by US Secretary of State John Kerry.Kerry hasn’t said whether he’s breaking the Oslo formula of bilateral talks, with US mediation, on borders, security arrangements, partition of Jerusalem and the fate of Palestinian refugees.Critics say its fundamental flaw was the guiding principle that “nothing is agreed on until everything is agreed on.”That was meant to encourage negotiators to be fearless. Instead, it linked the two most difficult issues — Jerusalem holy sites and Palestinian refugees — to those where progress was made.“You can agree on borders … and security, but if you don’t agree on the right of return [of refugees] or who owns the Temple Mount, then everything else is held hostage to it,” said Israeli analyst Yossi Alpher.Israeli Yair Hirschfeld and Palestinian Samih al-Abed, academics and former Oslo negotiators, have proposed defining the end point of the negotiations now, with international guarantees.The Palestinians would be assured they will end up with the same amount of land Israel captured in 1967 and with a capital in east Jerusalem. But the actual borders, including land swaps, will be left to negotiations.In exchange for such certainty, the two sides would negotiate partial agreements — on a fast track for security, economic relations and borders, and on a slower one for tougher issues. The Oslo motto would be turned on its head, becoming: “What has been agreed upon will be implemented.”This approach, outlined in a March 2013 paper by Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, was shown to Kerry when he visited the West Bank, said Edward Djerejian, the institute’s founding director.Al-Abed, still a negotiator, and Kerry “went over the report and Kerry made notations in the margins,” said Djerejian, a former US diplomat. “If you see things in the report and Kerry’s approach, you see some similarities.”State Department officials were not immediately available for comment on the issue.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has come out against partial agreements, fearing that what is billed as provisional could become permanent. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been unwilling to accept the 1967 lines as a starting point and has refused to consider a partition of Jerusalem.In recent years, the Palestinians fought to correct what they see as the cardinal sin of Oslo: agreeing to negotiate while Israel expands settlements on the lands it captured in 1967. Since 1993, the number of settlers in the West Bank and east Jerusalem has doubled to more than half a million, making partition more difficult.Former negotiator Ghassan Khatib said the settlement blunder was in part the fault of the Palestinian leadership under Yasser Arafat, dominated by exiles who knew little about Israel.The international community has demanded Israel halt settlement construction, but Kerry was unable to get Netanyahu to comply and instead persuaded the Palestinians to negotiate, once again, without a freeze.Over the past 20 years, both sides have traded blame over the failures.Palestinians say they made a major concession up front when they recognized Israel in the 1967 frontiers and settled for 22 percent of historical Palestine. Instead of negotiating in good faith, Israel tried to “take more from the empty pockets of the Palestinians” through settlement building, said Qurei.

Israelis say Palestinians have used violence to try to extract concessions.One of the main products of the Oslo Accords has survived — the Palestinian self-rule government in 38 percent of the West Bank, propped up by foreign aid.It has built institutions praised as worthy of a state and became a stepping stone to international recognition, such as UN General Assembly’s acceptance of a state of Palestine. Yet it’s also seen as an inadvertent means of perpetuating Israeli control.Khatib said Palestinians lost more than they gained. “In the end, we could not achieve our legitimate objective of independence and ending the occupation,” he said.

EU's moment of truth on Israeli settlements

Today @ 13:01-sept 12,13

By Emer Costello

BRUSSELS - This week, the European Union will face a critical test of its policy towards Israeli settlements in the occupied territories.Today, negotiations will recommence over the participation of Israel in Horizon 2020, the EU’s new seven-year programme for the funding of research and development, worth €80 billion.
The External Action Service and the European Commission will face intense pressure from Israel in these negotiations to backtrack on an important recent development: the EU guidelines excluding Israeli settlements from EU funding programmes.Israel has already lobbied hard against the guidelines, threatening not to participate in Horizon 2020 if the guidelines are to apply.The US secretary of state, John Kerry, advocated on behalf of Israel to EU foreign ministers gathered in Vilnius last Saturday to reconsider the application of the guidelines.Europe must not give in to these protestations, for the following reasons.Firstly, the guidelines are only the necessary minimum to effectively implement the EU’s legal obligations under its own law and international law.The EU, just as the rest of the international community, has never recognised Israel’s sovereignty over the territories it has occupied since 1967. The guidelines, published by the commission on 19 July, merely put this long-held position into practice by limiting the application of agreements between the EU and Israel to its internationally recognised, pre-1967, borders.Secondly, the guidelines are the only way to ensure that European public money will no longer be used to contribute to the illegal settlement project - which appropriates Palestinian land and resources, results in denial of basic Palestinian human rights, and threatens the viability of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Thirdly, conceding on the guidelines would most probably not help but harm the progress of the peace negotiations.For the Palestinians - who have always held by far the weaker hand in the US-led peace talks - the guidelines show that Europe is serious about the settlements.Indeed, their publication contributed to the decision by the Palestinian Authority to enter peace negotiations at the end of July this year.A concession at this juncture would publicly undermine Palestinians on an issue of fundamental importance, while vindicating Israel’s settlement policy.
Finally, it is the very credibility of the European Union, both as an actor committed to international law and as a player in the Middle East Peace Process, that is at stake.Recently, in response to a question submitted by myself and five of my colleagues in the European Parliament, the EU’s research commissioner Maire Geoghegan-Quinn reported a case which explains the importance of the guidelines.Only two weeks before their publication, the European Commission awarded a €6.2 million grant for an international skincare research project, called Superflex, to be co-ordinated by an Israeli cosmetics company, Ahava Dead Sea Laboratories, between 2013 and 2017.Although Ahava’s head office is in Israel proper, it is partly owned by two settler communities, and it has a factory in the settlement Mitzpe Shalem, where Ahava carried out earlier EU-funded projects.At the moment, the EU has no way to be sure whether Ahava will conduct its activities under the new project in Israel proper or in Mitzpe Shalem.It has no tools to prevent any of the funds from being spent in the settlements.Under Horizon 2020 and in accordance with the new guidelines, this situation will change as from next year.Recipients will have to declare that grant money will not be spent in the settlements. If a recipient breaks this commitment, the guidelines give the commission the tool it needs to stop the project and recover the grant money, thereby preventing EU public funds from sustaining the illegal settlements.In the negotiations on Thursday, the EU has no choice but to insist on Israel’s explicit acceptance of the guidelines as a precondition for its participation in Horizon 2020.If Israel does not accept the guidelines, the EU cannot sign the agreement.There is also no way to postpone the application of the guidelines, lest Israel’s participation in Horizon 2020 is delayed as well, which would be in no one’s interest.
If Israel accepts the guidelines and participates in Horizon 2020, then mutual co-operation will flourish and only the settlements will lose potential European R&D revenue.If Israel refuses to participate, then the largest single public source of research funding for Israel will be lost, with consequences that will be felt much more acutely by Israeli universities and entrepreneurs than by their European counterparts.Both the EU and Israel are surely aware that the first of these options is the closest they will get to a win-win situation.The writer is a centre-left Irish MEP.

St. Egidio’s international peace meeting in Rome approaches

Participants at a peace vigil form the symbol of peace using tealights

400 religious, political and cultural representatives from 60 countries will be attending the meeting titled ‘The Courage to Hope’, which will run from 29 September to 1 October

Alessandro Speciale vatican city The interreligious meeting of prayer for peace, organised by the Community of St. Egidio, returns to Rome for the first time in 17 years. The meeting titled ‘The Courage to Hope’ will be the first since Francis was elected Pope and will be held near the time of the Pope’s visit to the Italian city of Assisi, the cradle of interfaith dialogue.The Community’s president, Marco Impagliazzo presented the event schedule today and said the Syrian crisis would naturally be the dominant theme of the meeting: “We were really struck by Pope Francis’ words: “Don’t let your hope be stolen away”. It was not only addressed to young people but to all generations and, in today’s world, possibly to all peoples. Hope is lacking in so many parts of the world and we are getting used to the rites of war and conflicts.”“This resignation to the inevitability of violence was particularly evident during the Syrian crisis. “what is lacking is hope in the vision of a new world which can be found in Pope Francis’ words. Hope requires courage in today’s day and age,” Impagliazzo said.The Community’s founder, Andrea Riccardi, stressed the urgent need for international action to stop the war in Syria and reopen negotiations in a public appeal to world leaders ahead of the G20 summit in St. Petersburg. He asked participants to come up with an initiative to give space to dialogue again, because this is “the only possible solution that can prevent us from being crushed by another crisis.”Impagliazzo said the first signs of hope and courage came from Russian foreign affairs minister, Lavrov, who proposed Assad turn over his chemical weapons. If the proposal is accepted, it could prevent international military intervention.The meeting organised by the Community of Sant’Egidio, will be held in Rome between 29 September and 1 October. There will be 400 representatives of all the main religious traditions and European and world  political and cultural representatives from 60 countries. One of the meetings – all of which will be held in Rome’s Trastevere neighbourhood where the Community is based – will be on “religious terrorism” and presided by the President of the pontifical Council for Religious Dialogue, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran. The inspiration for this came from the Pope himself. He asked the Community’s heads to look into the issue.Participants include dozens of cardinals, bishops, representatives of all Churches and representatives of the Jewish and Muslim faiths as well as other world faiths. Politicians such as Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta, Cecile Kyenge, Mario Mauro, Graziano Delrio and Flavio Zanonato, Pakistani politician Paul Bhatti, the mayor of Rome, Ignazio Marino and others will also be attending. Aside from the Syrian and Middle Eastern crisis, other subjects that will be dealt with during the meeting, include 50th anniversary of “Pacem in Terris”, Pope Francis’ Latin America, Islam and the culture of co-existence, religions and violence against women, welcoming and integrating immigrants, sick cities and existential suburbs, information at the service of peace, lay people and believers in dialogue, eco-sustainability of the future, longevity as a blessing and martyrdom today. The primary focus will be on the persecution of Christians. Pope Francis will receive the meeting’s participants in an audience on Monday 30 September at 12:00.

Francis listens and speaks to members of the Roman Curia

The Pope during this morning's meeting with heads of dicasteries of the Roman Curia

In a statement, the director of the Holy See Press Office said the speeches made during the meeting were brief and off the cuff in order to give everyone the chance to speak

vatican insider staff Rome This morning Pope Francis “listened to and consulted with” the heads of dicasteries of the Roman Curia in a meeting about Church government.This was the purpose of today’s meeting held in the Apostolic Palace’s Bologna Hall, the director of the Holy See Press Office, Fr. Federico Lombardi told journalists.There were 30 heads of dicasteries present at the meeting which lasted approximately 3 hours and ended at 13:00 CET. The president of the Vatican Governorate, the cardinal vicar of Rome and Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone also attended the meeting.The Pope did not give a speech but listened to the comments and advice offered by the highest representatives of the Roman Curia and his main collaborators in Rome.“Given the private nature of the meeting, I am not at liberty to disclose what was discussed.” However, it definitely “gave an answer to the hopes expressed by cardinals during the Conclave,” Fr. Lombardi said.“Before the summer the Pope wished to meet each of his collaborators individually but today he opted for a collective consultation instead of private meetings,” Fr. Lombardi added.

“I want diplomacy to be more efficient”

H.E. Archbishop Pietro Parolin (Photo archive British Embassy to the Holy See)

The UK Ambassador to the Holy See, Nigel Baker, comments on Pietro Parolin's interview with Venezuelan newspaper "Diario Cattolico" and says his embassy will aim to be “more efficient” when engaging with the Holy See

Nigel baker rome

It is always good for a diplomat to be reminded that his job is to make a difference. The public image of diplomats too often remains that of the stereotypical cocktail party, and the focus on protocol for its own sake. I am glad to say that that is largely outdated. British ambassadors are appointed for their resilience, their strategic sense, their ability to react fast in tough circumstances, their analytical skills and their readiness to roll up their sleeves on behalf of the British public, British business, and British interests and values, not the deftness of their social small talk.

But the stereotype dies hard, which is why it was so good to read the interview that Archbishop Parolin, the newly appointed Holy See Secretariat of State, gave to the Venezuelan newspaper Diario Cattolico. In a few sentences he explained what Holy See diplomacy is for: “to strive for peace in the midst of the diversity that exists in this multipolar world”. He set it in context: “Vatican diplomacy is concerned with the common good of humanity”. He explained the modus operandi: “Bringing everyone’s differences together to make them strong points for the whole of humanity instead of causes for division”. And he assessed the tools at his disposal: “”an international diplomatic presence … our network of Nuncios”.Above all, Mgr. Parolin stressed the importance of “efficient” diplomacy. Holy See diplomatic networks and contacts are formidable instruments if used effectively, instead of, as Mgr. Parolin noted, “letting them sit there”. With clear goals, set by Pope Francis’s global vision of peace, by recognising that contexts and objectives change, and making the best of limited tools, Holy See diplomacy can make a global difference. That’s one reason why we have an embassy to the Holy See. And we, too, shall strive to be “more efficient” when engaging with our hosts here in Rome, both where we agree and where we have differences. We welcome you back to Rome, Mgr. Parolin!

Francis: “Empty convents are of no use to the Church. Let the refugees in”

The Pope greets refugees during his visit to the Astalli Center

ANDREA TORNIELLI vatican city “Empty convents are not for the Church to transform into hotels and make money from them. Empty convents are not ours, they are for the flesh of Christ: refugees,” the Pope said lifting his eyes from his script during his visit to Centro Astalli, a refugee centre in the heart of Rome, which offers shelter, food and assistance to undocumented migrants. The centre has been assisting refugees who come to Italy fleeing wars, violence and torture for over thirty years.


This visit was important for Francis as it  follows on in a way from his trip to the southern Italian island of Lampedusa: it is traditional for the Bishop of Rome to show special attention to the poor and persecuted. Francis arrived at the refugee centre at 15:25, in a blue Ford Focus, with no escorts and no secretary. He greeted many refugees outside Centro Astalli as they waited for their meals. He then approached those who were already in the refectory eating and stopped to talk to a group of about 20 refugees. He listened to some heartbreaking stories. One of the people he spoke to was Carol, from Syria. After listening to her story, the Pope picked up on what she had said and affirmed that integration was indeed “a right”.After a brief moment of prayer in the Centro Astalli chapel and after greeting all the members of staff – Francis was even offered some mate – the Pope moved on to the nearby Church of the Gesù , where he met with 250 volunteers who worked in four shelters run by the Jesuit Refugee Service.“What does it mean to serve? Service means welcoming a person who arrives and showing them attention; it means stretching a helping hand out to those who need it, without hesitations, without fear, but showing tenderness and understanding, just as Jesus bent down to wash the feet of the apostles.”“Serving means working alongside the needy, establishing human relationships and close ties of solidarity with them,” the Pope said. Solidarity “is a word that scares the developed world.” People try not to use it. It’s as if it were a swear word to them. But it is our Word! Serving means recognising and embracing justice and hope and looking for concrete roads and paths to freedom.”“It is important for the whole Church not to just leave it up to the “specialists” to welcome the poor and promote justice. The poor need to be taken into account in the Church’s pastoral care programmes, in the training courses of future priests and monks, in the daily actions of all parishes, movements and ecclesial groups.Francis sent out a strong message to religious congregations not to leave convents empty. “I would like above all – and I say this from the bottom of my heart – to invite religious Institutes as well, to take this sign of the times very seriously and act responsibly. The Lord calls us to show greater courage and generosity in welcoming others into our communities, homes, empty convents…”“Dear men and women religious, “empty convents are not for the Church to transform into hotels and make money from them. Empty convents are not ours, they are for the flesh of Christ: refugees. The Lord calls us to be generous and courageous in welcoming people into empty convents. Of course this is no simple task; discernment and responsibility are required; but courage is also needed. We do a great deal; perhaps we are called to do more, by welcoming and sharing what Providence has given us to serve others, with determination.The temptation of spiritual worldliness must be overcome in order for us to get closer to simple people, especially the poor. We need communities to show solidarity and love in a concrete way! So many people, especially young people, queue up at this and other centres to get a hot meal. These people remind us of humanity’s suffering and hardship. But that queue also tells us that it’s possible for all of us to do something now. All it takes is to knock at a person’s door and try to say to them: “I’m here. Can I lend you a hand?”At the end of his visit, the Pope accompanied a family of refugees to lay some flowers at the tomb of the Jesuit Father General, Pedro Arrupe.

Pope Francis' No. 2: Celibacy in Roman Catholic Church open for discussion

Dylan Stableford, Yahoo! News 1 hour ago ReligionSociety-sept 12,13

The Vatican's new secretary of state said this week that clerical celibacy is open to discussion, signaling a shift in approach for the Roman Catholic Church under Pope Francis."Celibacy is not an institution but look, it is also true that you can discuss (it) because as you say this is not a dogma, a dogma of the church," Archbishop Pietro Parolin said in an interview with Venezuelan newspaper El Universal. "The efforts that the church made to keep ecclesiastical celibacy, to impose ecclesiastical celibacy, have to be taken into consideration. One cannot say simply that this belongs in the past."Parolin, who was named Cardinal Secretary of State late last month, is considered the most powerful official at the Vatican after Pope Francis.

According to the National Catholic Reporter, Parolin's comments "are raising eyebrows" in Rome, "with some wondering if they herald looming changes in Catholic teaching and practice."But Father Federico Lombardi, the director of the Holy See’s press office, told NBC News the comments were "in line with the teachings of the church."It's not clear when celibacy became mandatory for priests, HuffPost Religion notes, but the first written mandate for chastity dates back to 304 C.E., when Canon 33 of the Council of Elvira stated that all "bishops, presbyters, and deacons and all other clerics" should "abstain completely from their wives and not to have children."And "a definitive ruling was handed down at the Second Lateran Council of 1139, which ruled that priests were forbidden to marry."Parolin's admitted question of priestly celibacy represents “a great challenge for the pope."In 2012, prior to becoming pontiff, Francis addressed the issue, saying he was in favor of maintaining the tradition "for the moment.""It is a matter of discipline, not of faith," he said. "It can change."

Barroso's 'State of the Union' hits sombre note

11.09.13 @ 11:25

By Honor Mahony

BRUSSELS - European Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso on Wednesday (11 September) gave a subdued assessment of the European Union, saying the biggest risk to its future is lack of political commitment.Barroso's fourth "State of the Union" address to the European Parliament did not contain any big vision on the future direction of the EU, but noted that the very fact the bloc got through the financial crisis is a major achievement."We would never have thought all of this possible five years ago," said Barroso, referring to the steps in economic integration the EU has taken in response to the crisis."Europe has fought back," he noted, adding that this year, in contrast to 2012, it did not receive any "lectures" from other countries on how to handle its economy.Whereas in a recent past speech he suggested that political union will be a "reality" in a few years' time, the Portuguese politician on Wednesday simply said it should be "our political horizon."He also indicated it is time for the EU to step back from its tendency to try to legislate or get involved in the minutiae of member states' affairs, saying "not everything needs a solution at the European Union level."The EU "needs to be big on big things and small on smaller things."With a tendency, particularly in bailed-out euro countries, for citizens to see the EU as being the cause of their economic woes, Barroso devoted a large portion of the speech to explaining why Europe is "part of the solution" and asked listeners to imagine what would have happened in the absence of the EU.He added that national leaders also need to believe in the EU for it to work effectively, however."At this point in time, with a fragile economy, the biggest downside risk is political," he said, citing a potential lack of "determination and perseverance.""Strong and convincing decisions have an important and immediate impact," he noted.In a speech that made several references to Europe's bloody past, Barroso also warned of the dangers of reversing EU integration.
"Let me say to all those - including some in this House - who rejoice in Europe's difficulties and who want to roll back our integration and go back to isolation: the pre-integrated Europe of the divisions, the war, the trenches, is not what people desire and deserve. It is our duty to preserve and deepen it," he said.
With just a few months to go before the EU institutions finish the current legislative period ahead of the May 2014 EU elections, Barroso promised to table proposals on the social dimension of Europe, on industrial policy, as well as legislation on how to punish member states that violate the EU's democratic norms.
Looking ahead to the 2014 vote, he asked "what picture of Europe will be presented to voters" noting that running MEPs can present the "candid or cartoon version.""Now it's up to us to make the case for Europe," he noted, calling for more constructive criticism of the 28-member bloc."Do you want to improve Europe or give it up? Let's engage. If you don't like Europe the way it is, improve it," he said.CORRECTION: The article was amended on 12 September when "last" was removed from the title and "likely last" from the text when referring to President Barroso's State of the Union speech, as the current European Commission is to remain in office until autumn 2014

18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.(NUCLEAR BOMBS)

Japan PM Abe vows to boost armed forces

1 hour ago MilitaryPoliticsJapanChina-sept 12,13-yahoonews

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday vowed to beef up his country's defence capability amid a blistering row with China, saying he would deal firmly with any "provocations".Abe, the commander-in-chief of Japan's well-equipped armed forces, told 180 senior uniformed officers he would not bury his head in the sand."We can't avert our eyes from the reality... (that there has been) a flurry of provocations against our country's sovereignty," he told troops in an apparent reference to tensions with China over disputed islands.
"I'm pushing for the regeneration of our country's security by looking squarely at reality," the premier said, without elaboration.Tokyo and Beijing have repeatedly butted heads over the ownership of the Japan-controlled Senkakus, which Beijing claims as the Diaoyus, with official Chinese ships and aircraft regularly testing Japanese forces.Abe, who had reviewed a guard of honour with defence minister Itsunori Onodera, has long agitated for a more muscular military, and has spoken openly of his desire to reinterpret rules governing its deployment to allow it to play a more active role in any possible conflict.The prime minister, whose defence ministry is looking for its biggest budget bump in two decades, told troops he planned to form a national security council that will integrate government functions analysing intelligence on defence and diplomacy."The power balance of the world is now changing dynamically, and the change has become more obvious in Asia-Pacific than anywhere else," Abe said."I will work together with countries that share the values of the rule of law and freedom of the oceans and strengthen our ties in diplomacy and security with them," he added.In July, Abe pledged to help boost the Philippines' coastguard capability during a visit to Manila, which also has a tense territorial dispute with China.Onodera said Japan had to be alert to China's growing military strength and said the country needed amphibious armed vehicles to defend its remote islands."China has rapidly pushed for modernising its military and rapidly accelerated its maritime activities," Onodera said."We will energetically strengthen our surveillance and information-gathering capabilities in areas surrounding our country" in particular waters near the disputed islands, Onodera said.On Monday, Japan scrambled fighter jets after an unidentified drone flew near the islands. The drone did not enter Japanese airspace.On Sunday, Japan tracked Chinese bombers that flew in international airspace between two islands in the Okinawa chain. Tokyo said it was the first time they had used that route to get to the Pacific.Japan nationalised the islands last September, sparking a backlash from Beijing, which has sent its official ships into their waters dozens of times since. 

THE WORLD DICTATOR

REVELATION 6:1-2,13:1-3,7-9,16
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse:(EU WORLD DICTATOR) and he that sat on him had a bow;(PEACE) and a crown was given unto him:(WORLD LEADER) and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.(THIS IS THE EU DICTATOR)
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.(7 HEADS ARE THE 7TH WORLD EMPIRE IN HISTORY (THE EU) AS WELL AS THE VATICAN WHICH IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS. 10 HORNS ARE 10 KINGS THAT ARISE FROM THE EU, THEN #11 COMES ON THE SCENE BECOMES THE HEAD OF 3 OUNTRIES AND THEN THE EU DICTATOR, COMES FROM 1 OF THE 3 COUNTRIES THAT RULE FOR THIS TERM. I BELIEVE THE 3 COUNTRIES RULING AT THE TIME ARE SPAIN AND 2 OF THE ORIGINAL 6 THAT STARTED THE EU. FROM 1 OF THESE 3 COUNTRIES COME THE FUTURE EU DICTATOR PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION WHO GUARENTEES ISRAELS SECURITY FOR A LAND FOR PEACE 7 YEAR TREATY.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.(THE JEWISH EU DICTATOR GETS HIS POWER FROM SATAN,HE COMES FROM THE OCCULT).
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.(THE DICTATOR HAS A FALSE RESURRECTION. JUST LIKE JESUS HAD A LITERAL RESURRECTION THIS DICTATOR GETS MURDERED AT THE 3 1/2 YR MARK OF THR 7 YEAR TREATY AND COMES BACK TO LIFE. THIS IS HOW HE CAN CLAIM TO BE GOD AND GET AWAY WITH IT AND CONTROL THE WHOLE EARTH.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
16 And he causeth all,(WORLD SOCIALISM) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

DANIEL 11:36-40
36 And the king shall do according to his will;(EU PRESIDENT) and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers,(THIS EU DICTATOR IS A EUROPEAN JEW) nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces:(HES A MILITARY GINIUS) and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds (CONTROL HEZBOLLAH,AL-QUAIDA MURDERERS ETC) with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many,(HIS ARMY LEADERS) and shall divide the land for gain.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south(EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR PROTECTING ISRAELS SECURITY) and the king of the north(RUSSIA) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

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

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

Yahoo CEO fears defying NSA could mean prison

Yahoo chief Marissa Mayer said she feared winding up in prison for treason if she refused to comply with US spy demands for data.Her comments came after being asked what she is doing to protect Yahoo users from "tyrannical government" during an on-stage interview at a TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco.Mayer said Yahoo scrutinizes and fights US government data requests stamped with the authority of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, but when the company losses battles it must do as directed or risk being branded a traitor.Data requests authorized by the court come with an order barring anyone at the company receiving the request from disclosing anything about them, even their existence."If you don't comply, it is treason," Mayer said when asked why she couldn't just spill details of requests by US spy agencies for information about Yahoo users."We can't talk about it because it is classified," she continued. "Releasing classified information is treason, and you are incarcerated. In terms of protecting our users, it makes more sense to work within the system."Yahoo, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are among Internet firms pushing for permission to disclose more details to users about demands for data made in the name of fighting terrorism or other threats.Technology titans have been eager to bolster the trust of its users by making it clearer what has actually been demanded by and disclosed to US authorities."It is our government's job to protect all of us and also protect our freedoms and protect the economy and protect companies," said Facebook co-founder and chief Mark Zuckerberg said at TechCrunch Disrupt on Wednesday.
"Frankly, I think the government blew it."US intelligence officials declassified documents Tuesday revealing the National Security Agency violated privacy rules for three years when it sifted through phone records of Americans with no suspected links to terrorists.The revelations raised fresh questions about the NSA's ability to manage the massive amount of data it collects and whether the US government is able to safeguard the privacy of its citizens.The government was forced to disclose the documents by a judge's order after a Freedom of Information lawsuit filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit group promoting digital privacy rights and free speech.The foundation called the release of the documents a "victory" for transparency but intelligence officials said the papers illustrated how the spy service had made unintentional "mistakes" that were rectified under strict judicial oversight.The release came after the scale of NSA spying was exposed in a series of bombshell media leaks in recent months by former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, who has been granted temporary asylum in Russia.Documents divulged by Snowden have shown the NSA conducts a massive electronic dragnet, including trawling through phone records and online traffic, that has sometimes flouted privacy laws.The declassified documents released on Tuesday shed light on friction between the NSA and the court, with judges castigating the agency for failing to abide by their orders and misrepresenting the nature of their data collection.
