Canada's PM to address nation in crisis DEC 3,08

OTTAWA (AFP) - Prime Minister Stephen Harper will urge Canadians in a televised address on Wednesday to reject an opposition bid to oust his Conservatives and install a leftist coalition without elections.By week's end, the prime minister also may ask the governor general to prorogue parliament -- a rarely-used legislative procedure that effectively shuts down the body.A move to delay a no-confidence vote set for December 8 until the end of January would give Harper more time to resolve the crisis, and allow his finance minister to present a budget on January 27 with a stimulus package.A spokesman for the prime minister told AFP Harper planned to speak at 7 p.m. eastern time (0000 GMT Thursday).Liberal leader Stephane Dion, who has been tipped to head a new coalition government, will then take to the airways for a rebuttal, his office said.Immigration Minister Jason Kenney told broadcaster CTV that Harper in his address is going to stand up for Canadian democracy and national unity against a coalition government that includes the separatists and which would jeopardize Canada's economic stability.Asked if Harper would request a shutdown of parliament to stem the revolt, Kenney said: We are looking at the legal and constitutional options available.I think Canadians want us to turn down the temperature, to stop the political games, to focus on the work they hired us to do, and if that means a time-out ... I think that would be a good thing to let cooler heads prevail.Governor General Michaelle Jean earlier cut short a four-country European trip to return home to manage the crisis.It would be up to Jean, as the representative of the head of state Queen Elizabeth II, whether to prorogue parliament or allow the coalition's request for a chance to govern now.Alternately, the governor general could dissolve parliament and ask voters to weigh in.Opposition moves to dethrone Harper were triggered by differences over how to seed an economic turnaround, as Canada confronts the global financial crisis.

These actions come just six weeks after he was reelected with a stronger minority, in Canada's third snap elections in four years.Several Conservative MPs described the plot as tantamount to treason, while a Carleton University international affairs expert commented it has reduced Canada to a banana republic with snowflakes in the eyes of the world.

Harper taking political battle to airwaves
By Martin O'Hanlon, The Canadian Press

OTTAWA - Stephen Harper is taking to the airwaves in an effort to turn the public tide against the opposition coalition and justify his bid to hold on to power. The prime minister was to address the country Wednesday night as he faces an imminent opposition threat to bring down his minority Conservative government next week. The Liberal-NDP coalition, backed by the Bloc Quebecois, asked for equal TV time to respond. Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean was to return from Europe on Wednesday afternoon and Harper was expected to ask her to suspend Parliament until late January to put off the crucial confidence vote. Without such a delay, the opposition is prepared to defeat the government on Monday and then ask Jean to hand power to the coalition.

But a suspension of Parliament would limit the power of Harper's government to routine housekeeping matters and preclude any major spending at a time of economic crisis. The Tories say the opposition move is an assault on democracy and national unity and they vow to take all legal steps to block it. They turned up the rhetoric Wednesday, going so far as to talk of treason. Ontario Conservative Bob Dechert accused the Liberals of trying to destroy the country by aligning with the separatist Bloc. He said it's tantamount to treason. They're getting into bed with the separatists, he said. They've actually written a deal giving the separatists a veto over every decision of the Canadian government. That is as close to treason and sedition as I can imagine.The Tory outrage comes despite that fact that Harper signed a letter with the Bloc in 2004 advising the Governor General to consider letting the opposition govern should the Liberal government of Paul Martin fall. And despite the Tory anger, the coalition arrangement is legal and legitimate under the parliamentary system. This is part of our democratic system, Jean said Tuesday in Prague.The opposition parties together won just over 54 per of the popular vote in the Oct. 14 federal election. Liberal MP John McKay said the inflamed language from the Tories makes it clear that this Parliament will not work under any circumstances. He said the government must fall - either next week or next month. We have to. Have to, he said. The die is cast, there is no turning back on this decision.The Tories have fired up their formidable campaign machine for an all-out blitz against the opposition. The barrage includes radio ads, rallies, and urging supporters to swamp MPs, talk shows and media with calls and e-mails. The coalition was preparing a counterattack. The Canadian Labour Congress, which is organizing rallies in support of the coalition, says it has radio spots ready to go. Rallies were being organized across the country by supporters on both sides of the bitter parliamentary meltdown. Jean, who must decide whether to allow Parliament to prorogue or let the opposition take over, has been working closely with her advisers and constitutional experts, said an official.

There is precedent for the vice-regal refusing to dissolve Parliament in the face of a confidence crisis - the King-Byng affair of 1926. But the question of refusing prorogation is uncharted territory. The coalition would be first change of government without an election since 1926. Under the opposition pact, Dion would serve as prime minister until spring when he is to be replaced as Liberal leader. The deal calls for the coalition to survive at least 18 months. Harper precipitated the crisis last Thursday with the provocative economic update that contained no stimulus package, killed public financing for federal political parties, and banned public sector unions from striking for two years. Desperate back-peddling by the government over the weekend in the face of the coalition talks did nothing.

Brazil aims to repair ports destroyed by floods Tue Dec 2, 4:19 pm ET

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil – Brazil is committed to quickly repairing key ports damaged in massive floods in order to recoup millions of dollars in daily losses to the economy, a government official said Tuesday.The floods, which have claimed at least 116 lives in the southern Santa Catarina region, severely damaged the major Itajai port, which has lost more than $400 million in revenue since the flooding began last month, said Brazilian ports minister Pedro Brito. He said those losses grow by $35 million a day. Ships have been forced to dock in ports hundreds of miles (kilometers) away in neighboring states.The flooding also severely damaged the area's other ports and washed goods on the docks out to sea.Brito said the government thus far has freed up $152 million to begin immediate repairs on the Itajai port — the biggest in the area and key to Brazil's massive beef-exporting industry.The storms also exacted a high human toll: Rescue workers were searching for 31 people still missing following massive landslides, and officials estimate the death toll could rise to as much as 150.About 80,000 people were forced from their homes by the storms, which dumped more water on the region during the weekend of Nov. 22-23 than it normally gets in months. Another 8,000 people were displaced in neighboring Rio de Janeiro state.

Ten dead, thousands hit as rains lash Panama, Costa Rica Tue Dec 2, 3:08 pm ET

GENEVA (AFP) – Over 36,000 people have been affected by heavy rains and severe floods in Panama and Costa Rica since late November, the International Red Cross said Tuesday as it launched an appeal for aid funds.Many areas are facing blackouts and lack of water. More than 45 indigenous communities in remote coastal areas are surrounded by water and can only be reached by helicopter, which has proved challenging due to the non-stop rains, said the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.The United Nations humanitarian affairs bureau said earlier Tuesday that in Panama, ten people were killed and over 23,600 affected by the deluge.About half or 11,670 of those hit in Panama are in temporary shelters, said Elisabeth Byrs, spokeswoman of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.Rains are expected to continue this week, and the victims are in need of food, water and blankets, said Byrs.Many highways and bridges have been destroyed. 1,165 houses were damaged and about 200 destroyed. A number of communities in Bocas del Toro cannot be reached. Transport and distribution of relief items remain a challenge, she added.Panama's president has declared a state of emergency for the most affected provinces of Bocas del Toro, Chiriqui and Colon.

The gravity of the situation prompted the IFRC to seek 572,000 dollars (450,000 euros) in aid for victims in both Panama and Costa Rica.The aid group said that in Costa Rica rivers have overflown in parts of the country including the capital San Jose.Floods have also cut off access to over 100 communities and destroyed banana and plantain crops.The floods risk exacerbating diseases such as diarrhoea and the common cold, which could pose a risk especially to indigenous communities in the provinces of Limon and Cartago,it added.An emergency operation carried out in both countries by the Red Cross will provide communities with first aid, food and other relief items such as safe water tablets.

Wintry storm strands travelers in Chicago airports By DAVID MERCER, Associated Press Writer DEC 1,08

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Stranded airline passengers lingered in Chicago's airports Monday as a storm tapered off after delivering a wintry mix to the Midwest including snow, gusty winds and ice that led to at least two traffic deaths.More snow is expected later in the week, followed by colder weather. Anywhere from 2 to 10 inches of snow fell in Illinois and Wisconsin, the National Weather Service said. The snow knocked out power in the Milwaukee area and closed schools in both states.Illinois State Police handled dozens of accidents, even in southern Illinois, where snowfall was modest.At one point we had over two dozen troopers already at crash locations with over 50 additional calls pending, said Ralph Timmins, Illinois State Police master trooper.Snow wasn't as heavy in the Chicago area, where a couple of inches fell, but low visibility and gusty winds caused flight delays Monday at Chicago's two main airports.Delays at O'Hare International Airport, one of the world's busiest, averaged about 30 minutes, and 50 flights were canceled Monday, Chicago Department of Aviation spokesman Gregg Cunningham said. Those cancelations were in addition to 50 other flights canceled at O'Hare on Sunday as the storm rolled into Chicago.

At Midway International Airport, delays were around 15 minutes with no cancelations, Cunningham said.The season's first winter storm provided the first big test for a new $450 million O'Hare runway and air-traffic tower, which opened on Nov. 20. A federal analysis appeared to show that it helped reduce flight delays, as aviation officials hoped it would.Icy roads led to fatal accidents just outside Champaign and near Lincoln on Monday, according to police.The National Weather Service forecasts rain turning to snow Wednesday and into Thursday, followed by much colder air behind that at the end of the week, with lows in the teens and highs ranging from the mid-20s in northern Illinois to the lower 30s in the south, meteorologist Chuck Schaffer said.Associated Press writer Michael Tarm in Chicago contributed to this report.

HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

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

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

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

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

REVELATION 13:16-18
16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

The major indexes fluctuated throughout the day as investors shuttled between pessimism about a protracted recession and hopes that the nation might start to soon see relief. Analysts largely believe that much of the bad news is already priced into the market. But they also warn that the market could turn lower as November retail sales and employment reports are issued Thursday and Friday.Wedneday's news included dismal readings on regional economic growth from the Federal Reserve and service-sector activity from the Institute for Supply Management.The Dow Jones industrial average bolted up 172 points to 8,591.

UAW to renegotiate labor terms, suspend jobs bank By KIMBERLY S. JOHNSON, AP Auto Writer DEC 3,08

DETROIT – The United Auto Workers said Wednesday it is willing to change its contracts with U.S. automakers and accept delayed payments of billions of dollars to a union-run health care trust to do its part to help the struggling companies secure $34 billion in government loans.United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger said the union will suspend the jobs bank, in which laid-off workers are paid up to 95 percent of their salaries while not working, but he did not give specifics or a timetable of when the program will end.We're going to sit down and work out the mechanics, Gettelfinger said at a news conference after meeting with local union officials. We're a little unclear on some of the issues.Members of Congress criticized the automakers last month for paying workers who are not on the job. About 3,500 auto workers across the three companies are currently in jobs bank programs.One local union member who was in the meeting said the changes to the jobs bank would nearly eliminate the program. The member asked not to be identified because the details had not been made public.Gettelfinger stopped short of saying the union would reopen contract talks with General Motors Corp., Chrysler LLC and Ford Motor Co. but said it would be willing to return to the bargaining table to change some terms.

Talks with GM will begin immediately, but additional bargaining officials must be elected for Ford and Chrysler, Gettelfinger said, and any modifications would still have to be ratified by local union members.He also said the union will run a television ad in Maine, Kentucky, Indiana and Minnesota to put the faces of union workers on the controversy over the loans, and explain how the auto industry differs from the banking industry. The ads presumably are designed to pressure Congressional opponents of the loans.There's a perception problem, Gettelfinger said, stressing that the automakers' woes have painted a negative view of the union. Yes, we have lost some clout.Delaying the health care trust payments will help the companies survive their cash shortages, which they say were brought on by the severe economic downturn and the worst U.S. sales climate in more than a quarter century.GM had been scheduled to pay more than $7.5 billion early next year to the union-administered fund which will take over retiree health care payments on Jan. 1, 2010. Ford owes $6.3 billion to its trust fund at the end of this year. Chrysler figures were unavailable.The delay will have to be approved by federal courts, which already have blessed the trusts' formation.All three companies agreed to fund the trusts, called voluntary employee beneficiary associations or VEBAs, as part of the landmark 2007 contract reached with the UAW. By doing so they move billions in liabilities off their books.When they go into effect, the trusts will pay health care bills for about 800,000 UAW retirees, spouses and dependents at the three companies. GM expects to save about $3 billion a year when the expenses are moved, while Ford says it will save $1 billion.The CEOs of all three automakers are heading to Washington for more hearings Thursday and Friday on their loan requests after an abysmal showing before lawmakers last month. Gettelfinger will also attend.Congressional leaders demanded business plans from all three that include a reduction in labor costs so Detroit is more competitive with foreign automakers with U.S. factories. The companies submitted their plans to Congress on Tuesday.I don't think Congress is out for blood, Gettelfinger said of the criticism the union received during his previous testimony last month. There will be more pressure on us to do this. We're going to step up and do it.That sentiment was echoed by several union representatives at the news conference. Everybody has to give a little bit, said Rich Bennett, an official for Local 122 in Twinsburg, Ohio, representing Chrysler workers. We've made concessions. We really feel we're doing our part.But a retired GM worker said the union might be acting hastily out of fear that one of the automakers could shut down. Fear is a bad basis on which to make decisions, said Frank Hammer, of Local 909 in Warren, Mich. I think they're making another mistake.

Members at Local 122 are fearful of losing their jobs, said Bennett's associate, Ken Walters. They're seeing nearby plants shut down on regular basis. General Holliefield, the UAW vice president representing Chrysler workers, said union members historically do the right thing in terms of making concessions during tough times, although the moves outlined Wednesday came to fruition following last month's congressional thrashing. Washington didn't ask us for concessions, he said. It wasn't anything we were thinking about.The president of Chrysler said the UAW's willingness to change the union's contract is a good step. Chrysler LLC President Tom LaSorda said during a Toledo rally for the industry on Wednesday that both sides need to go back and review the entire framework of the contract. He said if the union would surrender job security protections it would help the Detroit Three in the long run. AP Auto Writer Tom Krisher contributed to this report.

Eurozone ministers dress down Brussels recovery plan
LUCIA KUBOSOVA 02.12.2008 @ 09:25 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Finance ministers from the euro area have agreed it's too early to say how much public money EU member states should pump into the economy to fight recession, with Germany voicing the fiercest criticism of the European Commission's €200 billion recovery plan.Less than two weeks before all the European leaders gather in Brussels to pronounce on the financial stimulus package, ministers from 15 countries sharing the euro failed to give the plan their blessing on Monday (1 December).The commission suggested last week that the EU should invest €200 billion in various sectors via a range of measures, from VAT cuts and cheap loans for businesses to social policy measures to help the most vulnerable citizens.While some €30 billion is to be drawn from the common EU budget and the European Investment Bank, national governments are called on to pony up the remaining €170 billion - depending on their economic situation and resources.But while the eurozone ministers - meeting on the eve of a gathering of all the EU's finance chiefs - agreed on the general philosophy of the package, they did not back the suggested figures.Everyone agrees that we need a strong fiscal response, Eurogoup chief Jean-Claude Juncker, Luxembourg's premier and finance minister, told journalists after the evening debate.We have the assurance that all national plans that will be presented would comply with the qualitative indications mentioned by the commission, he added, while admitting: We have got to wait until all the national plans come in before we can get a figure.

Critics in Berlin

German finance minister Peer Steinbruck was particularly sceptical of the commission's proposal, echoing previous remarks by government ministers in Berlin, including Chancellor Angela Merkel, who had said that too much cheap money in the economy could spark a new crisis in less than a decade.We must not copy one another. We have to co-ordinate. The modus operandi can vary. European co-ordination is a way to do it, but a variation is possible, Mr Steinbruck said when he arrived at the meeting on Monday.His Dutch colleague, finance minister Wouter Bos, stressed the need for the eurozone to return to budgetary discipline as soon as the conditions allow - otherwise the common currency could suffer more due to looming public deficits and debts.We need to do something and that needs to be substantive, and I do not mind it being substantive as long as it is temporary, as long as all countries after having taken these measures return to their path of reaching objectives.Several EU countries, including the biggest European economy, Germany, have announced that they will not be able to reach their previous goal of getting rid of budgetary deficits by the end of this decade.Ireland is expected to see its public deficit jump to 6.5 percent next year, with the commission preparing disciplinary procedures against Dublin to force the four-million-strong country to balance its public finances. Although some member states - such as France, currently at the helm of the 27-strong bloc - pointed out the agreement among EU leaders to relax budgetary rules during the current financial crisis, Brussels maintains it should be only under the rubric of flexibility manoeuvres allowed by the 2003 reform of the EU's pact for stability and growth.Under the rules which underpin the euro, member states can maintain a deficit over three percent of GDP for up to a year in the case of extraordinary circumstances, but they must still hew as close to the target as possible even as they exceed it.The European Commission on Monday asked the eurozone finance ministers to present their budgetary plans for the next year by then end of December. The commission will repeat the call on Tuesday when facing all finance ministers from across the EU.On 19 January, the commission will publish an updated economic forecast and analysis of national programmes. After which point, Brussels intends to proceed with all necessary disciplinary measures against member states breaking the rules on sound finances.

Barroso to create new energy directorate
VALENTINA POP Today DEC 3,08 @ 18:27 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - With energy and climate change set to dominate the EU agenda in the coming years, the European Commission is to create a new energy directorate-general from 1 November 2009 at the latest.The decision - an initiative by commission president Jose Manuel Barroso - will see senior EU official Claude Chene chair a task force to make detailed proposals for the scope and structure of the new DG by 1 May 2009.Energy and climate change has become Jose Manuel Barroso's main policy priority (Photo: European Community, 2006)The new directorate is expected to be around 400 to 500-man strong and have its own communication, external relations and personnel units.Energy is currently handled in the hybrid energy and transport directorate-general, which serves both energy commissioner Andris Piebalgs and transport commissioner Antonio Tajani, despite the pair's priorities drifting apart.

The European Commission has 41 DGs, some of which serve individual commissioners, while others handle internal business such as publications or IT. The powerful administrative units have a big influence on commission policy, with industry commissioner Gunther Verheugen and internal market commissioner Charlie McCreevy in the past complaining their own officials were working against them.No special structure is foreseen for climate change however, commission spokesman Johannes Laitenberger said, while unveiling the energy move on Wednesday (4 December).

Currently, climate change is a unit within the larger environment directorate-general. But EU officials said the environment DG bosses would be unwilling to give away this most prominent part of their work.The energy DG move comes amid speculation that EU member states will create a new commissioner post of energy and climate change after the European Parliament elections in June 2009.

Piebalgs' big bang

Back in 2004 when the Barroso commission was set up, the energy portfolio was seen as a modest dossier.Career diplomat Mr Piebalgs, Latvia's second choice for commissioner, got the energy post after the European Parliament declined to clear Hungarian designate Laszlo Kovacs for the job.He inherited the shared energy-transport DG structure from previous commission president Romano Prodi, who had merged the two units in the name of efficiency. The newly-appointed Latvian also had to contend with Francois Lamoureux, a prominent French politician who led the merged DGs and defended his turf while he continued in the post in the first year of the Barroso era.The energy portfolio grew in importance after the 2005 Hampton Court summit decision to create an EU energy policy, followed by the explosive events of winter 2006 and the Russia-Ukraine gas crisis.In Spring 2006 Mr Piebalgs was mandated to draw up policies culminating in the EU's committment to reduce CO2 emissions by 20 percent until 2020 - the main subject of the upcoming 11 December summit next week.

Brussels to project soft power in post-Soviet zone
PHILIPPA RUNNER Today DEC 3,08 @ 18:09 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The European Commission on Wednesday (4 December) underlined that the Eastern Partnership policy is not a prelude to further enlargement, while warning Russia to respect its soft power ambitions in the east.At this stage, we are not in a position to offer prospects of accession, commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said. We can take the process a long way, up to the status of association, an association relationship is the furthest we can go without starting a process leading to accession.The Eastern Partnership initiative aims to sign Association Agreements with Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia in the coming years, pulling the six countries closer to the EU via free trade and visa free deals, as well as regular meetings at foreign minister level. The upcoming Czech EU presidency is to launch the policy at a 27+6 summit next spring, with the EU executive creating a new Eastern Partnership unit in its external relations department, to be led by veteran commission official Janos Herman.Changes to the commission's original communique on the initiative reflect Mr Barroso's warning against enlargement hopes.An early draft of the text said the policy should acknowledge the European identity and aspirations of these countries. But the final communique cuts out the statement, while saying that the step change in relations [is] without prejudice to individual countries' aspirations for their future relationship with the EU.The commission has also scaled down Eastern Partnership funding. The early draft suggested €600 million of fresh money up to 2013 and a further €1.5 billion between 2014 and 2020. The final offer comes to €350 million extra up to 2013, with consideration of more funds in the next EU budget.

Russian sensitivity

The commission communique also contains a nod toward Russian sensitivity. The Eastern Partnership will be pursued in parallel with the EU's strategic partnership with Russia,it states.But the language of the final text is less kind to Russia than earlier drafts, which had said the new EU policy is secondary, or complementary, to EU-Russian relations.Russian media in recent days voiced concern over the EU's initiative, with the Niezawisimaja Gazieta on Monday writing that the EU wants to push Russia into Asia and Kommiersant on Tuesday saying the Czech EU presidency will downgrade Russia relations after a Russia-friendly French EU chairmanship.Mr Barroso on Wednesday addressed Russian concerns over EU expansionism, saying the Eastern Partnership does not aim at building areas of inlfuence, of drawing division lines in Europe.

EU soft power

But he also underlined Brussels' ambition to transform the post-Soviet countries into Western-type democracies and market economies, hitting a rare note of assertiveness in EU foreign policy vis-a-vis Russia.The EU is an economic giant that is increasingly becoming a political player and assuming its responsibilities, he said. This partnership shows what could be called the power of soft power, the ability of the EU to attract others and bring about changes in societies.Prosperity and stability in the 21st century willl be brought about by economics, not by missiles; by political dialogue not by demonstrations of force, Mr Barroso added, in implicit criticism of Russia's actions in Georgia.

DANIEL 7:23-25
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Brussels gearing up for reshuffle of top jobs
PHILIPPA RUNNER Today DEC 3,08 @ 08:56 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - With over six months to go before the selection of a new European Commission and uncertainty on the Lisbon treaty looming over the process, speculation is in any case mounting over who will take the top jobs in Brussels for the next five years.The current European Commission president, Portugal's Jose Manuel Barroso, has publicly said he wants a second term, with several colleagues also keen to stay on.Six months is a very long time in politics, with the future EU commission structure still unknown (Photo: incurable_hippie)French justice commissioner Jacques Barrot, UK trade chief Catherine Ashton, Italy's transport commissioner Antonio Tajani and Dutch competition watchdog Neelie Kroes have all indicated they would like to remain in the EU executive.Of the smaller countries, Greek environment commissioner Stavros Dimas, Czech social affairs head Vladimir Spidla, Austria's external relations chief Benita Ferrero-Waldner, Bulgarian consumer protection boss Meglena Kuneva, Finland's enlargement commissioner Olli Rehn and Estonian anti-fraud head Siim Kallas have also shown interest in staying at Brussels' top table.The personal ambitions may be complicated by party politics and EU institutional reform, however.

The leader of the Party of European Socialists, MEP and former Danish Prime Minister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, is being mooted as a potential left-wing successor to the conservative Mr Barroso, if the centre-left political family wins the European Parliament elections in June 2009.In the Netherlands, Ms Kroes is the second liberal commissioner in a row after Frits Bolkenstein, with the conservative Christian Democrats and the left-wing Labour party both keen on grabbing the Brussels post for themselves.Dutch conservative names doing the rounds include ex-transport ministers and MEPs Hanja Maij-Weggen and Karla Peijs, as well as former agriculture minister Cees Veerman. Current Europe minister Frans Timmermans and ex-Europe minister Dick Benschop lead the Labour contenders. At 72, French justice commissioner Jacques Barrot may be considered too old to come back, with the influential French agriculture minister and ex-commissioner Michel Barnier keen to take his place.

The new Solana

If the Lisbon treaty is eventually ratified, the post of external relations commissioner will cease to exist, giving way to a new EU foreign minister. Meanwhile, a hybrid commission portfolio of energy and climate change could be created.The conservative Ms Ferrero-Waldner has been lobbying heavily to bag the new energy-climate job, EU officials say. But Austria's commission post may be filled by left-wing justice minister and former MEP Maria Berger, after her SDP faction won recent elections. The current energy commissioner, Andris Piebalgs, is reportedly to rejoin Latvia's diplomatic service, while Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt and French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner are the latest favourites to take over from the 66-year old EU top diplomat, Javier Solana.Among other new faces, Irish health minister Mary Harney is tipped to come to Brussels, with Ireland's current commissioner, internal market boss Charlie McCreevy, expected to take lucrative work in the private sector.Belgium's political parties have also agreed to install the Flemish liberal foreign minister, Karel De Gucht, as the country's new man in the EU, after Walloon liberal aid commissioner Louis Michel departs.With Germany's Gunther Verheugen (industry) and Poland's Danuta Huebner (regions) likely to leave the commission, the posts of two of the EU's largest member states remain wide open.

All you need is love

Mr Verheugen is said to be jaded after power struggles with his officials and a scandal over promoting his alleged lover, while Ms Huebner - a fluent Spanish speaker - is expected to go into industry or join her fiancé in Bilbao. General elections in Germany in September complicate predictions. If the socialist SPD faction wins, it may put forward the leader of the European Parliament's socialist group, MEP Martin Schulz, as commissioner.But in the event of a grand coalition or a conservative victory, German media have named conservative interior minister Wolfgang Schauble, former Bavaria president Edmund Stoiber, Hesse president Roland Koch, interior ministry official Peter Altmaier and economy ministry official Peter Hintze as candidates.Meanwhile, insiders say European Parliament budget committee chair Janusz Lewandowski and former Polish prime minister turned banker, Jan Krzysztof Bielecki, lead the Polish pack. Another Polish premier turned MEP, Jerzy Buzek, is emerging as top contender for the job of European Parliament president.

Mr Bielecki would have to take a steep pay cut to come to Brussels, however. The CEO of Poland's Pekao bank earned over €800,000 in 2007, compared to a commissioner's income of just €220,000 per year.

Israel wants closer co-operation with EU
VALENTINA POP 02.12.2008 @ 17:41 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Israel wants to strengthen its relations with the EU and change what it calls Europe's outdated perception of the Jewish state in the hearts and minds of Europeans, the country's foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, told MEPs on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad warned the EU against this move, citing lack of progress in the Middle East peace process.Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni said she accepted criticism from the MEPs as long as it reflected realities, not outdated perceptions. (Photo: EUobserver)Ms Livni tried to bridge the gap between what she called a European perception of her state and what Israel really was.She rejected criticism from several MEPs concerned about Israeli settlements in the West Bank, saying that her government was no longer actively pursuing this policy and that these were minor activities that Israeli officials were trying to contain.We are not trying to use or abuse the period of time in which we negotiate in order to have more land, or to get more land from the Palestinians, Ms Livni told MEPs, while asking for patience if a peace deal with the Palestinians was not reached by the end of the month, as pledged a year ago in Annapolis, during a US-brokered agreement.Dozens of Jewish settlers rioted Tuesday in Hebron, clashing with the Israeli troops who guard them but who may also evict them from a disputed building they have occupied, agencies have reported. Several MEPs warned that such actions of Israeli settlers went against Israel and the peace process and urged Ms Livni to do more to stop them.

For us, the extension of settlers and colonists in the West Bank is not acceptable and does not allow negotiations to take place, said Belgian Socialist Veronique De Keyser.Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad also argued on Tuesday that the continued presence of settlers in the occupied territories meant that the EU should not upgrade its relation with Israel. We asked for a meeting with representatives of those countries to express our deep concerns ahead of of the debate on the strengthening of relations with Israel, he said, speaking to journalists after he met with diplomats from EU countries on Monday.I told them that since Israel has violated all its commitments, including on human rights issues, EU countries should wait before upgrading the level of Israeli representation with the EU, he said.Ms Livni defended her government's actions and said all security measures were imposed because of the illegitimate Hamas government in the Gaza strip, which had no other goal than to destroy Israel and did not care about the humanitarian crisis of the Palestinians.Do do you think that I, as a human being, want them to suffer? I don't want to, but put yourself in my position, what are the options? she said, when asked about civilian casualties following Israeli strikes the country claims are necessary to counter attacks from the Gaza strip.I don't have the miracle situation for how to delegitimise a regime, how to fight terror, without any impact on the population. It is not a surgical operation, it is war, she said.She also told the MEPs that there are numerous voices in Israel calling on her to suspend negotiations with the Palestinians as long as there are ongoing attacks, but that she firmly believed the Annapolis peace process had to stay on track.Ms Livni also met with European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso to discuss including Israel in key EU projects. Israel is already involved in the EU's high-tech research programmes but also wants a role in customs, the environment, health and other areas.In addition, the foreign minister also met with NATO officials gathered in Brussels for their ministerial meeting and signed an agreement aimed at strengthening and expanding military co-operation with the Atlantic alliance, including in the fight against militant extremism.

French paper raises concerns in Israel

Meanwhile, an internal paper drafted by the French EU presidency ahead of a foreign ministers meeting next week raised concerns in Israel, local daily Ha'aretz reported, after seeing the draft. The document called for increased pressure on Israel to re-open Palestinian institutions in Jerusalem.A key part of building the Palestinian state involves resolving the status of Jerusalem, as the future capital of two states, the paper read. Therefore, the EU will work actively towards the re-opening of the Palestinian institutions, including the Orient House.Israeli forces closed Orient House, which once served as the Palestinian Authority's de facto Foreign Ministry, with the government citing the bombing of Jerusalem's Sbarro restaurant as justification. Since then, successive Israeli governments have refused to re-open it as it symbolised Palestinian claims to sovereignty of East Jerusalem, Ha'aretz explained.The document praised the Palestinian Authority for having greatly improved security in the West Bank, and concluded that Israel must transfer additional large swathes of this territory to Palestinian security control. During the coming period, Palestinian security presence should be expanded beyond cities, it said.

FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU Report: Obama to appoint anti-Israel adviser
Possible Mideast envoy seen as one of Jewish state's biggest foes in Washington
December 02, 2008 2:29 pm Eastern By Aaron Klein 2008 WorldNetDaily

Daniel Kurtzer
JERUSALEM – President-elect Barack Obama is considering appointing his top Mideast adviser, Daniel Kurtzer, as U.S. envoy to the Middle East, a senior Israeli diplomatic source told Israel's Haaretz newspaper. Kurtzer, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel, long has been seen in Jerusalem as one of the Jewish state's greatest foes in Washington. He has been identified by Jewish and Israeli leaders, including prime ministers, as biased against Israel and is notorious for urging extreme concessions from the Jewish state. The Haaretz report follows WND articles quoting officials in Jerusalem who stated Kurtzer was likely to become Obama's envoy for the Israeli-Palestinian issue. Kurtzer came under fire last summer when he traveled to Damascus where he reportedly urged Syrian officials to fast-track negotiations with Israel aiming at an Israeli withdrawal from the strategic Golan Heights. Kurtzer at the time stressed he was not in Damascus as part of Obama's campaign but instead visiting as a private expert attending an international lawyers conference.

Obama's transition team did not immediately return a WND e-mail and phone message seeking comment on Kurtzer's possible appointment. Haaretz noted Obama's purported decision to appoint a special envoy to the Mideast reporting to him directly, rather than to the secretary of state, indicates the president-elect attaches special importance to the region. Kurtzer long has been identified by Israeli leaders speaking on the record as one of Israel's greatest foes in Washington, and his appointment as a primary Mideast adviser to Obama first raised some eyebrows in the pro-Israel Jewish community. We oppose the appointment of Kurtzer, because of his long, documented record of hostility to and severe pressure upon Israel, said Zionist Organization of America National Chairman Morton Klein. Kurtzer has been blasted by mainstream Jewish organizations, including the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. He has angered Israeli leaders many times for pushing Israel into what they described as extreme concessions to the Palestinians. With Jews like Kurtzer, it is impossible to build a healthy relationship between Israel and the United States, Benjamin Nentanyahu was quoted saying in 2001 by Haaretz. Former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir said Kurtzer frequently pressured Israel to make one-sided concessions to the Arabs; he constantly blamed Israel for the absence of Mideast peace, and paid little or no attention to the fact that the Palestinians were carrying out terrorist attacks and openly calling for the destruction of Israel.Morris Amitay, former executive director of the America-Israel Public Affairs Committee, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in 2001: Kurtzer ... will use his Jewishness as a protective cover for his anti-Israel views.The ZOA points out Israel's leading daily, Yediot Ahronot, editorialized on Kurtzer's negative influence against Israel: Possibly more than any other U.S. State Department official, Kurtzer has been instrumental in promoting the goals of the Palestinians and in raising their afflictions to the center of the U.S. policymakers' agenda.Kurtzer first rose to prominence in 1988 when, as a State Department adviser, he counseled the Reagan administration to recognize the Palestine Liberation Organization led by Yasser Arafat. The PLO had carried out scores of anti-Western attacks, but in the late 80s Arafat claimed to have renounced violence.

In 1988, Kurtzer was noted as the principal author of a major policy speech by then-Secretary of State George Shultz in which the U.S. government first recognized the legitimate rights of the Palestinians. Haaretz reported in 2001 that Kurtzer had a vocal conflict with an Israeli government official in Philadelphia in the summer of 1990 after Kurtzer attacked the Israeli government for refusing to include the PLO in the peace process [and] said that this constituted the main obstacle to peace.

Hebron settlers brace for forceful evacuation by Michael Blum Michael Blum – Wed Dec 3, 10:48 am ET AFP

HEBRON, West Bank (AFP) – Jewish settlers prepared on Wednesday to battle a forceful eviction after Israel declared a closed military area around a house in Hebron they occupy in defiance of a court order.The military decree followed violent protests on Tuesday involving settlers and their far right-wing supporters who hurled rocks at Palestinians, security forces, homes and cars and desecrated Muslim tombstones.The sector around the house has been decreed a closed military zone, a military spokesman said, adding that Israelis are now barred from entering the Palestinian areas of the West Bank city.But security forces did nothing to prevent hundreds of supporters from heading to the house in solidarity with the 100 or so settlers defying the November 16 High Court decision that the premises be vacated.Nor did soldiers on the roof stop young settlers from hauling buckets filled with stones to the top of the house in preparation for an eventual confrontation.We will refuse any compromise. This expulsion is illegal, said David Wilder, a US-born hardline settler who acts as the spokesman for what residents call the House of Peace but is now better known as the House of Contention.Thousands of supporters are on their way from across the country and we will stay till the end, he told AFP.Caretaker Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made it clear the settlers will be removed from the house.

Since the High Court ruled in favour of the evacuation, it will be evacuated, Olmert said at a ceremony marking the 35th anniversary of the death of David Ben Gurion, Israel's first prime minister.President Shimon Peres said the Hebron incidents were causing considerable harm to Israel.Whoever throws a stone at a soldier attacks the state, and we cannot allow that, he said at ceremony held at the Sde Boker kibbutz where Ben Gurion is buried.Twenty Palestinians and 18 Israelis were reported injured in clashes that started on Monday night and continued on Tuesday.Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas said it was the responsibility of the Israeli government to end the violence.Despite a significant police and army deployment in Hebron, including an observation post on the roof of the house and a roadblock outside, security forces maintained a low profile during the latest violence and similar previous incidents.

The army and the police have thus far handled the violence miserably, said an editorial in the Haaretz daily newspaper.With the police and army being criticised for weakness and the settlers preparing violent resistance, the evacuation itself will be very violent indeed.Police, however, dislodged a few dozen people who briefly took over a Hebron house that has remained empty since settlers were evicted in 2006 under a court order.The settlers insist they have a God-given right to all of the biblical land of Israel and that they are legally in the house, which a Jewish-American businessman claims he bought to allow more Jews to live in Hebron.

The original Palestinian owner denies selling the house, and the High Court has ordered the settlers out until ownership can be determined. Settlers consider the house a strategic asset because it is about half-way between Kiryat Arba settlement, home to 6,500 Israelis, and Hebron city centre where about 600 hardline Jews live under heavy military protection. The settler presence in the Palestinian city of 170,000 has long caused tensions. In 1994, a Jewish extremist massacred 29 Palestinian worshippers at the Tomb of the Patriarchs, a site holy to Jews and Muslims alike. The international community considers Jewish settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank to be illegal, and the Palestinians say they are the biggest obstacle to Middle East peace talks.

British PM to host talks with Israeli, Palestinian leaders DEC 3,08

AFP LONDON (AFP) – British Prime Minister Gordon Brown will host talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders in London later this month to discuss the peace process, he told lawmakers on Wednesday.The separate talks with Palestinian premier Salam Fayyad and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will be held on December 15, Brown's Downing Street office said.We are bringing Israeli and Palestinian leaders to London later in December to help to establish how best we can use 2009 to make real progress towards political and economic solutions in the region, he told lawmakers.The meetings with the two parties will be held separately, officials said.Fayyad will be in London for a Palestinian investment conference, a Downing Street spokesman said, adding that Brown had invited the Israeli Prime Minister Olmert to visit London on the same day.They won't all be meeting together, he told AFP.

Middle East peace talks were relaunched in November 2007 after a near seven-year hiatus, with the current US administration saying it hoped for a resolution before President George W. Bush left office in January 2009.Little tangible progress has been made since, however, and all eyes are on whether the new US administration under Barack Obama can revive the peace process.There are also questions about leadership in the region: the Israeli premier is under pressure from his own party to step down following a decision to indict him in one of several graft cases over which police questioned him.Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas warned last month that he would call snap elections if the Islamist Hamas movement does not rejoin reconciliation talks aimed at healing the rift sparked by their seizure of Gaza in June 2007.

Palestinian PM warns EU against boosting ties with Israel Tue Dec 2, 10:17 am ET

AFP RAMALLAH, West Bank (AFP) – Palestinian prime minister Salam Fayyad on Tuesday said he was deeply concerned about plans to upgrade EU-Israeli relations, citing lack of progress in the Middle East peace process.Fayyad spoke to journalists after he met with diplomats of EU countries on Monday.We asked for a meeting with representatives of those countries to express our deep concerns ahead of of the debate on the strengthening of relations with Israel, he said.I told them that since Israel violated all its commitments, including on human rights issues, the EU countries should wait before upgrading the level of Israeli representation at the EU, he said.Fayyad spoke to the officials ahead of the December 8 European Council meeting and the plenary session of the European Parliament on Wednesday at which the EU is expected decide to whether to boost ties with Israel.He said the EU would send the wrong message to the Israeli electorate ahead of February 10 legislative elections if it agrees to boost ties.The message would be clear. By tightening links with Israel, the EU indicates that Israel gets what it wants without having to any consideration being given to its commitments towards the international community and within the framework of the peace process, he said.Fayyad reportedly told the diplomats on Monday that in the week the upgrade is being discussed, the misery index in Gaza has never been higher due largely to Israel's near-complete closure of the Palestinian territory over the past three weeks.

Diplomatic sources said he also pointed out Jewish settlement construction in the occupied West Bank has increased since the Annapolis, Maryland conference that relaunched the peace process in November last year and at which Israel reiterated its commitment to freeze all settlement activity.Checkpoints, home demolitions and evictions in the Palestinian territories have also increased, Fayyad said.All of these facts on the ground have jeopardized the possibility of the two-state solution and the credibility of the negotiations process begun at Annapolis, diplomats quoted him as saying.The premier already came under sharp criticism from Israel when he sent a letter in May urging the European Union not to upgrade relations with the Jewish state.Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni was scheduled to hold talks with the European Parliament's external relations commission on Tuesday.

37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Report: World at Risk of Bio, Nuke Attack,It's More Likely Than Not That a WMD Attack Will Occur by 2013, Panel Determines By JASON RYAN Dec. 2, 2008

SHARE A biological or nuclear attack is likely to occur somewhere around the globe during the Obama administration or shortly thereafter, a new congressionally mandated report has warned. A new report warns that the world is at risk of a terror attack that would use weapons of mass destruction within the next five years.
(ABC News Photo Illustration)The report, titled The World at Risk, starkly states, The commission believes that unless the world community acts decisively and with great urgency, it is more likely than not that a weapon of mass destruction will be used in a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by the end of 2013.The ominous study by the Commission on the Prevention of WMD Proliferation and Terrorism and obtained by ABC News, will be released Wednesday. The biggest threat is a biological attack, which the report considers to be a greater possibility than a nuclear or radiological attack. Terrorists are more likely to be able to obtain and use a biological weapon than a nuclear weapon. The commission believes that the U.S. government needs to move more aggressively to limit the proliferation of biological weapons and reduce the prospect of a bioterror attack, it says. Report Urges Focus on Nuclear TerrorismObama Introduces National Security TeamObama Mum on Key Intelligence Posts The acquisition of deadly pathogens, and their weaponization and dissemination in aerosol form, would entail fewer technical hurdles than the theft or production of weapons-grade uranium or plutonium and its assembly into an improvised nuclear device, the report argues. While terror groups lack the expertise to make biological weapons, the study warns that terrorists are trying to upgrade their capabilities and could do so by recruiting skilled scientists.

As a cautionary example, The World at Risk cites the 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, which the FBI and Justice Department have maintained were conducted by the lateBruce Ivins, a bio-weapons researcher at Fort Detrick. The new report drew the same conclusions as a separate study released last month by the National Intelligence Council. That report, titled Global Trends 2025, predicted the threat from biological weapons would grow. For those terrorist groups active in 2025, the diffusion of technologies and scientific knowledge will place some of the world's most dangerous capabilities within their reach. The globalization of biotechnology industries is spreading expertise and capabilities, and increasing the accessibility of biological pathogens suitable for disruptive attacks,it warns.


Pakistan Nuclear Stockpile Seen as Vulnerable
The commission said that Pakistan posed a particular danger for a WMD attack because al Qaeda reportedly has a safe haven in Pakistan's wild tribal areas, the instability in the government and Pakistan's nuclear weapons stockpile. Pakistan is an ally, but there is a grave danger it could also be an unwitting source of a terrorist attack on the United States -- possibly with weapons of mass destruction, it claims. Arizona Gov. Emerges as Top DHS PickSomalia: A New al Qaeda Safe Haven?U.S. Warned India in October of Potential Terror AttackThe report notes that Pakistan's nuclear weapons stockpile consists of about 85 nuclear warheads and that China has recently agreed to build two nuclear power plants in Pakistan, which could help exacerbate a regional nuclear arms race with its nuclear armed neighbor India.

Though most U.S. and Pakistani officials say that these weapons and their components are safe from inside or outside theft, the risk that radical Islamists -- al Qaeda or Taliban -- may gain access to nuclear material is real.America's margin of safety against a WMD attack is shrinking. But we also want to assure the people that there is ample and solid ground for hope about the future, the report states. It makes a series of 13 recommendations for the incoming administration, which includes conducting a comprehensive review of domestic stocks of deadly pathogens and tightening security at those biological labs and research facilities. While security has been known to be inadequate at bioresearch facilities overseas, especially in the former Soviet Union, the report makes mention of a recent GAO study that found that security at several of the United States' top biological laboratories containing the world's deadliest diseases and viruses was inadequate. The report also recommends that the United States should bolster rapid response ability and pharmaceutical stocks to mitigate mass casualties and should advance bioforensic capabilities. Other recommendations include for the United States to push internationally for countries to address the issue of biosecurity, enhance disease surveillance networks and push for the adherence of the Biological Weapons Convention, which countries are to review in 2011.

Nuclear Ambitions of Iran and North Korea Must Be Stopped
On the issue of nuclear security, the report recommends that the United States needs to strengthen the current nuclear nonproliferation treaties and seek a restructuring of the US-Russian relationship. Concerning Iran and North Korea, the commission recommends that As a top priority, the next administration must stop the Iranian and North Korean nuclear weapons programs. In the case of Iran, this requires the permanent cessation of all of Iran's nuclear weapons–related efforts. In the case of North Korea, this requires the complete abandonment and dismantlement of all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs.The study was conducted over six months, and included more than 250 interviews with government officials. Overseas site visits ranged from the U.S. national laboratories to Moscow. The commission was to travel to Pakistan, but the trip was cut short after the September bombing of the Marriott hotel in Islamabad. The commission notes in the report that it came within hours of staying at the hotel.

From The TimesDecember 3, 2008 Experts warn Barack Obama of a nuclear Iran
(Morteza Nikoubazl/Reuters)President Ahmadinejad of Iran is close to creating a nuclear bomb Catherine Philp in Washington

Iran poses the greatest foreign policy challenge to Barack Obama, the President-elect, with Tehran on course to produce a nuclear bomb in the first year of an Obama administration, a coalition of top think-tanks gave warning yesterday. Mr Obama must keep his promises of direct talks with Tehran and engage the Middle East region as a whole if he is to halt a looming crisis that could be revisited on the US, the experts said. Diplomacy is not guaranteed to work, Richard Haass, one of the authors said. But the other options – military action or living with an Iranian weapon are sufficiently unattractive for it to warrant serious commitment.The warnings came in a report entitled Restoring the Balance. The Middle East strategy for the President-elect was drafted by the Council for Foreign Relations and the Brookings Institution. Gary Samore, one of the authors, said that the level of alarm over the hornet’s nest facing the President-elect in the Middle East, and the need for the swift adoption of previously untested approach, had inspired the decision to write policy for him. New administrations can choose new policies but they can’t choose next contexts,Mr Samore said. The report paints a grim picture of the problems in the region but asserts that Mr Obama is still in a strong position. For the first time since the Iranian revolution the leadership in Tehran has endorsed the idea of talking directly with Washington, as Mr Obama has suggested. Falling oil prices also provide an opportunity, restricting Iran’s means to sponsor terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah that act as its proxy in the region. The new administration, however, must not fall into the trap of treating Iran in isolation to the rest of the Middle East, as the previous administration did.

Syria, which has shown tentative signs of a desire for better relations with the West and has held negotiations with Israel, could be the ideal test case for a new diplomatic approach. The report laid blame for much of the crisis with the Bush Administration, whose war in Iraq fuelled Iran’s regional ascendancy. The authors warned against an Anything but Bush approach, urging Mr Obama to build on changes in direction adopted in the past two years.

THAT WAS NOT ALL THE EXCITEMENT I DONE LAST NIGHT, I ALSO PHONED INTO CBC ABOUT THIS HIJACKING OF THE GOVERNMENT BY THE GODLESS LIBERALS,NDP AND BLOC QUEBECOUS. I'M SURE I KNOW WHATS BEHIND THIS TAKE OVER. AFTER THE G20 SUMMIT IN WASHINGTON ON NOV 15 MR HARPER DID NOT AGREE WITH THE OPEN BOARDERS TIMELINE OF 1 YEAR. I AM 100% POSSITIVE THE EUROPEAN UNION PUT INCREDIBLE PRESURE ON HARPER TO KEEP THIS ONE YEAR OPEN BOARDER TRADE LIMIT AT THE G20 SUMMIT EVEN THOUGH HE DID NOT WANT TO DO IT. THE OTHER 3 GODLESS PARTIES I BELIEVE ARE ALL FOR THE OPEN TRADE BOARDERS FOR THE ONE YEAR DEADLINE. AND SINCE HARPER AND THE CONSERVATIVES PROBABLY GAVE LEADERS AT WASHINGTON SUMMIT A HASSLE ABOUT THE OPEN TRADE RULES,THE EU (EUROPEAN UNION)PROBABLY HAD SECRET MEETINGS WITH THE GODLESS 3 TO OVERTHROW THE HARPER GOVERNMENT SO THE WORLD GOVERNMENT COULD BE PUT THROUGH SMOOTHLY.

NOTICE THIS OVERTHROW IS ABOUT THE ECONOMIC BAILOUT OF AUTO AND STMULUS PACKAGES.

Liberals, NDP, Bloc sign deal on proposed coalition Mon Dec 1, 10:29 PM

CALGARY (CBC) - The Liberals and New Democrats signed an agreement on Monday to form an unprecedented coalition government, with a written pledge of support from the Bloc Québécois, if they are successful in ousting the minority Conservative government in a coming confidence vote.The accord between parties led by Stéphane Dion, Jack Layton and Gilles Duceppe came just hours after Liberal caucus members agreed unanimously that Dion would stay on to lead the Liberal-NDP coalition, with support in the House of Commons from Bloc MPs.The six-point accord includes a description of the role of the Liberal and NDP caucuses, which would meet separately and sit next to each other on the government benches in the House of Commons, Dion told a news conference alongside Layton and Duceppe.Dion said he has advised Gov. Gen. Michaëlle Jean in a letter that he has the confidence of the Commons to form the government should Stephen Harper's Conservatives be defeated in a confidence vote.The Liberal leader said the parties reached the accord after watching the sad spectacle of other countries' governments acting to counter the unprecedented global economic crisis while Harper's Conservatives sat and did nothing.Given the critical situation facing our fellow citizens and the refusal and inability of the Harper government to deal with this critical situation, the opposition parties have decided that it was now time to take action, he said.We are ready to form a new government that will address the best interests of the people instead of plunging Canadians into another election.Dion, who previously announced he would step down as Liberal leader, also pledged he would hand over a strong government for a stronger Canada" to his Liberal successor on May 2.

I am honoured to do that, Dion said.

Layton said the accord's proposed multibillion-dollar stimulus package for the troubled economy, which includes support for the auto and forestry sectors, is prompt, prudent, competent and, most important, effective.This Parliament has failed to act, and it falls on us to act, Layton said.The NDP leader also called on the prime minister to accept this gracefully and not bring further instability by fighting the verdict of his colleagues in the House.Prime minister, your government has lost the confidence of the House and it is going to be defeated at the earliest opportunity, he said.Following the opposition news conference, Harper dispatched Environment Minister Jim Prentice to address the serious situation.Prentice called the opposition pact irresponsible and undemocratic and said the government will consider all options.He wouldn't rule out the government's asking Jean to suspend Parliament until late in January, when the Tories have promised to introduce a new budget.The proposed coalition cabinet will comprise 24 ministers and the prime minister. Six of these ministers will be appointed from within the NDP caucus. The position of finance minister would be held by a Liberal, while the NDP would be allotted six parliamentary secretaries.The accord between the NDP and Liberals will expire on June 30, 2011, unless it is renewed. The Bloc is only committed to 18 months.It includes a policy accord to address the present economic crisis, which states that the accord is built on a foundation of fiscal responsibility.An economic stimulus package will be the new government's top priority, while other policies include a commitment to improve child benefits and childcare as finances permit. There is also a commitment to pursue a North American cap-and-trade market to limit carbon emissions.The Bloc would not officially be a part of the coalition, but the new government's survival would depend on its support.Duceppe said his party entered into an agreement that is in the best interests of Quebec, of Quebecers during this time of economic difficulties.We chose for the time being to give priority to the economic situation and to the assistance we must provide to people, he said.He added he did not agree to support the coalition beyond the 2011 date because the various parties could not agree on concrete action to recognize the Quebec nation.Parliament is due to vote on a Liberal no-confidence motion on Dec. 8. If Harper's government were to lose a confidence vote, Dion would request that Jean approve the proposed plan to form a coalition government.

But the Governor General, who is currently on a state visit in Europe, could also decide to send Canadians to the polls for a second time in less than two months. The prime minister could also still block coalition efforts by proroguing Parliament - that is, suspending it without dissolving it.Dion, who has been blamed by some for the Liberals' poor showing in the October election, had agreed to step down as party leader in May. However, in the hour-long meeting on Monday, Dion received support from all three Liberal MPs vying to replace him, Michael Ignatieff, Bob Rae and Dominic LeBlanc, the CBC's Susan Bonner reported from outside the House of Commons.

The three leadership candidates emerged from the meeting together and told reporters they agreed to Dion's presence, but insisted the campaign to replace him will continue in the normal fashion.Ignatieff, who is the front-runner to succeed Dion in an upcoming leadership convention, said the three candidates were at one in their belief that the only leader who can lead us in this context is the duly elected leader of the Liberal party.I support the accord because it's fiscally responsible, it provides responsible economic leadership in tough times and it also conserves the basic principles of national unity, equality that our party has always believed in, he said.Rae described the caucus meeting as historic and moving, while also saying the deal was perfectly constitutional and would present for Canadians the very best possible government.The opposition parties say they have lost confidence in the Harper government after last Thursday's economic update by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty failed to provide a stimulus package for Canadians. Since then, the Liberals had been in negotiations to form a coalition with the NDP, planning to oust the Conservatives in a confidence vote.During question period in the House of Commons on Monday, Dion challenged Harper to allow his government to face a vote.

Does the prime minister still believe that he enjoys the confidence of this House? Dion asked.A fiery Harper, in turn, accused Dion of playing the biggest political game in Canadian history, saying the Liberal leader would recklessly attempt to govern the country amid a global economic crisis under threat of veto by socialists and separatists.Dion reminded the House that in 2004, in a letter to the Governor General, Harper - then-opposition leader - proposed that he be allowed to form a government if Paul Martin's Liberal minority government were to fall.Earlier Monday, former NDP leader Ed Broadbent, who took part in the talks, told reporters that a very constructive, positive agreement has been reached between the Liberal Party of Canada and the New Democratic Party that will bring stimulus to the economy, which is badly needed.There are going to be a lot of jobs, a protection of pensions and I think we can look forward to a very constructive period, he told reporters, saying the deal included aid for the suffering auto and forestry sectors.The Canadian Press reported a source saying mid-Monday that the parties had agreed to present a $30-billion stimulus package that would offer substantial aid to the troubled auto and forestry industries.The source said the deal also calls for the formation of an economic advisory panel of experts that would include Paul Martin, John Manley, Frank McKenna and Roy Romanow.Details of the agreement were fleshed out Sunday night.

If the prime minister moved to prorogue Parliament, the Conservative government could not be defeated in the current session of the House. But Harper would also need the approval of the Governor General to do that. But Rae said a move to prorogue would lack legitimacy, as it would clearly be to avoid a vote of confidence.

Mr. Harper has no one to blame but himself for the fact that he's not been able to gain the confidence of the majority of the House, he told the CBC's senior parliamentary editor, Don Newman.On Sunday, Flaherty said the government would deliver the budget on Jan. 27, about a month before one would normally be tabled in the House.Shortly after Flaherty's announcement, Transport Minister John Baird said the minority government wouldn't try to eliminate federal civil servants' right to strike over the next couple of years, as pledged in last week's economic update.On Saturday, Baird also announced the government had shelved its contentious plan to eliminate political party subsidies that are based on the number of votes received during elections.With files from the Canadian Press and Reuters.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

REVELATION 17:3,7,9-10,12,18
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

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.

Political drama engages, outrages Canadians across the country
By Colin Perkel, The Canadian Press DEC 2,08

The drama unfolding in Ottawa with all the intrigue of a well-crafted political thriller has riveted Canadians across the country - both political junkies and citizens who turned out in such anemic numbers for the federal election barely seven weeks ago. While premiers like Ontario's Dalton McGuinty weighed in Tuesday, Canadians weren't leaving the talking to the politicians. Talk-show phone lines buzzed with a seldom-seen fervour and media websites groaned under a flood of comments. Wow. Never have I seen more regular people upset at politicians, a reader from British Columbia wrote on the Globe and Mail's website. Most everyone it seemed - those furious at the hijacking of democracy and those blissful at democracy working exactly as it should - had a strong opinion. This is what bullies in a school yard do when they can't win a fight fair and square - gang up, read another post on the Globe's site. Daniela Scopa, a producer with CJAD in Montreal, said the phone lines were jammed for close to three hours during their Tuesday morning talk show. People are just appalled. They can't believe that any of this is going on, they're disgusted by it, Scopa said. That's the word most people use, just completely and utterly disgusted.Putting his feet up on his desk after a program in which the phones lit up like Christmas trees, Bill Carroll, a veteran host at Toronto's CFRB radio, called the high-stakes machinations in the nation's capital a dream issue for talk shows. This is like a once-a-decade kind of story, Caroll said.

You don't have to work to get phone calls . . . the story comes to you. The passion is out there.The volume of calls was probably 10 times or more greater than typical, he said, adding people are both engaged and enraged.Barely 60 per cent of those eligible to vote actually made it to the polling booths for the Oct. 14 election that saw Harper's Conservatives returned to government with a bulked up minority. The historically low turnout prompted many analysts to despair at voter apathy and fatigue - a malaise that appears to have been swept aside by political theatre at its best. Spectacle aside, however, there were those who just want the situation settled, especially amid the roiling economic climate and gut-wrenching market volatility. While I am giddy at the sound come-uppance being dealt to Mr. Harper, I can't help but think that enough is enough, one person wrote on the Toronto Star's website. The country's premiers seemed to share that view, with Saskatchewan's Brad Wall saying earlier in the week it's time for political leaders in Ottawa to get their heads out of their kilts.Speaking at the Ontario legislature on Tuesday, McGuinty also urged an end to the political crisis, saying the feds need to get on with dealing with the economy, particularly the floundering auto sector, and do it fast. Let's get back to the table. Let's see what we can do together to support the auto sector, not just for the good of Ontario but for the good of the country as a whole.McGuinty was adamant the province would not get involved in the political intrigue, saying only that when Ottawa is ready to talk to the province, the talk will be about the auto sector.

A Facebook group inviting people to join a day-long party of sorts in cyberspace billed as Stephen Harper's Last Day as Prime Minister had send out almost 30,000 invitations - with nearly 8,000 accepting as of Tuesday afternoon. The virtual event was scheduled for Dec. 8, when the government could first be toppled. Then there's the I Don't Understand Parliamentary Democracy and I'm Outraged Facebook group - but the reaction was not only virtual. A website, rallyforCanada.ca, is trying to organize protests in cities across the country Saturday against opposition coalition plans to form a government - with the help of the separatist Bloc Quebecois.

People, it seems, can barely wait for every twist and turn of the political plot.
Whenever we do put up a new headline, you can just see the traffic come in, said Trevor Wilker, news editor at Yahoo Canada. The CBC's Jeff Keay said the broadcaster's website was getting huge volumes of commentary. This is probably as high as anything we've seen before, Keay said. We've cracked 4,000 (comments) and that's probably several orders of magnitude higher than what we'd get for a normal story.

Wall Street rebounds sharply after big drop By JOE BEL BRUNO, AP Business Writer Joe DEC 2,08

NEW YORK – In a session that showed more indecision than conviction, the stock market rebounded Tuesday from the previous day's massive decline. The Dow Jones industrials rose 270 points after fluctuating sharply, and all the major indexes rose more than 3 percent.Investors wary about the economy drew solace from Ford Motor Co. Chief Executive Alan Mulally, who said the automaker has enough cash to make it through 2009 and might not need government help. Rival General Motors Corp. said late in the day that it needs $12 billion in government loans to continue operating; the news briefly shook the market, but stocks rebounded before the close.

The market was also encouraged after General Electric Co. said it expects to pay a dividend despite projections that fourth-quarter results will near the low end of its previous guidance.That raised some hopes that U.S. companies may fare better during the recession than the market has feared. Meanwhile, investors got an additional lift after the Federal Reserve said it will extend the life of key programs aimed at loosening the credit markets and restoring stability to the financial sector.But, that still wasn't enough to completely calm investors who are weary after huge swings in the market the past few months — including the nearly 680-point slide in the Dow on Monday. The blue chips were up more than 260 points during the afternoon Tuesday, then dipped to a loss before swinging higher. Analysts said the volatility underscores how bear markets operate, and warned this kind of trading pattern isn't expected to change anytime soon.I don't know where the bottom to all this is, said Alexander Paris, economist and market analyst for Chicago-based Barrington Research. In these kind of markets, all you have to do is get enough confidence to hold your nose and ignore the bad news to send the market higher.The market remains uncertain about what might lie ahead, from how long the recession might last to more troubles in the struggling financial sector. Wall Street this week is uneasy about a number of reports due to be released, primarily Friday's jobs report that is widely considered the most important economic reading of the month.

According to preliminary calculations, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 270.00, or 3.31 percent, to 8,419.09.Broader stock indexes also soared. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 32.60, or 3.99 percent, to 848.81, while the Nasdaq composite index gained 51.73, or 3.70 percent, to 1,449.80.

United Nations,UN confims global recession 01/12 19:52 CET
http://www.euronews.net/en/article/01/12/2008/un-confims-global-recession-amid-stability-fears/

The world economy faces its worst downturn since the Great Depression, according to the United Nations. The body expects global economic output to contract by as much as 0.4 percent in 2009, due to recession stalking developed countries, particularly Europe and the United States.The UN offered a baseline forecast of one percent growth, a pessimistic analysis of 0.4 percent contraction and an optimistic scenario of 1.6 percent growth. The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon painted a gloomy picture: Today’s financial crisis will become tomorrow’s human crisis. Social unrest and political instability will grow. The UN said it marked the first year of shrinkage since the 1930s.The World Economic Situation and Prospects Report sees developed economies shrinking by 1.5 percent, while developing nations should show a 2.7 percent growth. The slowing of the economies in the poorer countries will impact on the progress made on poverty reduction in many developing nations.

Israel shekel down 1.8 pvt vs dlr on cbank purchases Reuters - Tuesday, December 2

TEL AVIV, The Israeli shekel weakened 1.8 percent against the dollar on Monday, a day after the Bank of Israel said it would continue buying foreign currency until forex reserves reach $40 billion to $44 billion.The shekel's representative, or official, rate was set at 3.99 per dollar, compared with Friday's rate of 3.92 per dollar.The shekel reached a 13-month low of 4.022 per dollar on Nov. 21.The dollar strengthened because of its gains abroad and also because of the Bank of Israel's announcement on forex purchases, a dealer at Union Bank of Israel said.Israel's foreign exchange market is closed on Sundays.The central bank began buying $25 million a day of forex in March and raised it to $100 million a day in July in a plan to boost reserves by $10 billion, which was expected in late November.

The Bank of Israel said on Sunday its reserves have increased by $10 billion to reach $37 billion and it planned to continue buying $100 million a day of forex until reserves reach between $40 billion and $44 billion.The shekel has weakened sharply against the dollar in recent months, partly due to the central bank's forex programme.Last month, the Bank of Israel said it was considering extending the programme in light of increasing uncertainty regarding the state of the global economy.The Union dealer said the shekel was expected to trade in a near-term range of 3.95-4.05 per dollar.

Uganda: World Bank Boosts Mineral Sector
David Muwanga 30 November 2008

Kampala — THE World Bank has approved a $5m (about sh9.9b) credit to finance to the Sustainable Management of Mineral Resources Project.The additional credit will strengthen the Government's capacity to develop a sound minerals sector based on private investments and improvements in selected artisanal and small scale mining areas.These extra International Development Assistance (IDA) resources come at a time for Uganda, when the world is experiencing a minerals boom which has seen a rapid increase in prices for metals, the bank explained in a statement.Uganda will utilise the funds to position itself to take advantage of the increasing exploration investments, said Christopher Sheldon, the World Bank task team leader for the project.The statement added that the number of mineral licenses and amount of non-tax mineral revenue collected by Uganda had increased by 200%t since the project's inception in 2003.Revenues from mining peaked $1.66m in 2007 from $550,000 in 2003, the statement disclosed.In the same period, the Government issued 229 mineral exploration and development licenses generating $22m in revenue up from 190 licenses generating $5m in 2003.The number of licenses given to artisanal and small scale miners has also risen to 221 in 2007 from 100 in 2003.The bank said Uganda's leading mineral export is gold although active mining activities extend to many other minerals including copper, tin and wolfram.The project was initially funded by an IDA credit of $25m with $5.35m co-financing from the African Development Bank and $6m from the Nordic Development Fund.Initially scheduled to close on June 30, 2009, the additional funds from IDA have resulted in extending the project to June 30, 2011, said the statement.This project will enable the development of the mineral resources in an efficient, socially sustainable, and environmentally sound manner, as well as contribute substantially to the country's earnings, employment, reduction of poverty, and improvement of quality of life in rural areas, said Kundhavi Kadiresan, the World Bank country manager for Uganda.2008 New Vision.

Gulf Arabs told not to help out struggling economies,Rich Gulf Arabs should not be propping up the world's struggling economies nor the World Bank or IMF(International Monetary Fund), according to a recent poll in the Middle East, commissioned by the Doha Debates. Qatar: Monday, December 01 - 2008 at 13:44 PRESS RELEASE

Qatar Foundation signs partnership with UK's Imperial College London and University of Oxford.Large majority in Arab world favours stability over democracy.Almost 70% of Arabs also labelled the distribution of wealth in the Gulf unfair and 55% were critical of the way their government spends money. The survey supported the results of a Doha Debate, held on November 17, where 75% of the audience decided that Gulf Arabs value profit over people. The majority of respondents cited the treatment and pay of foreign workers as the main reason for believing that Gulf Arabs value profit over people. A third said Saudi Arabia was the biggest offender of workers' rights, followed by Kuwait. The poll, conducted by YouGovSiraj between November 18 and 24, was completed by 1119 respondents from an online panel of 149,000 people in the Gulf, North Africa, Levant and Iraq. The Doha Debates are broadcast eight times a year on BBC World News and focus on controversial issues in Arab and Islamic countries.

Global markets hammered as recession reality sinks in Mon Dec 1, 5:07 pm ET

NEW YORK (AFP) – A fresh wave of selling hit global stock markets Monday as weak economic news from around the world and confirmation of a US recession prompted a massive pullback from last week's gains.The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank 679.95 points (7.70 percent) to close at 8,149.09, in the fourth-steepest point loss in history for the blue-chip index.The Nasdaq composite plummeted 8.95 percent to 1,398.07 and the broad-market Standard & Poor's 500 index tumbled 8.93 percent to 816.21.A pullback was expected after a huge snapback rally over the past several sessions, with the Dow posting its best five-day percentage increase since 1932 of 17percent. But selling began early and quickly became a freefall.Market action came as the economic panel recognized as the arbiter of business cycles said the US had entered recession in December 2007 based on its measure of income, employment and other factors.The market has gotten off to a tough start to the week today, as recession fears have now become a reality, and the questions that remain are just how bad and for how long this recession will linger over us, said Michael Fowlkes, analyst for the online investment service Investors Observer.European markets were also sharply weaker, as the rally from last week came to a grinding halt after news of deeper economic woes in Germany, France and the full 15-nation eurozone and weak data from India and China.Jocelynn Drake at Schaeffer's Investment Research said the market responded to a round of weak economic data around the globe that has stoked concerns that we may not have seen the worst of the economic slowdown.Fresh data released on Monday showed German retail sales fell 1.6 percent in October from the previous month, while in France a closely watched index of manufacturing activity fell to 37.3 in November, its worst-ever reading.In China, manufacturing activity hit a three-year low in November, underlining the fallout of the global financial crisis on emerging markets.Meanwhile, India's exports in October tumbled 12 percent from a year ago for the first time in three years, hit by slumping demand in its key US and European markets.Augustine Faucher at Moody's Economy.com said the confirmation of a US recession by the National Bureau of Economic Research only added to the gloom.The important questions now are when will the recession end and how severe will it be, he said.Moody's Economy.com expects the current downturn to last through the first half of 2009 and to be the worst of the post-World War II era. Even with a substantial stimulus package, unemployment is likely to peak close to 9.0 percent in early 2010.

In Europe, London's FTSE 100 index closed down 5.19 percent, the Paris CAC 40 shed 5.59 percent while Frankfurt's DAX lost 5.88 percent on the grim news.Economic growth figures have outlined the worst global recession since at least the 1980s while gauges of inflation expectation point to growing deflation fears across the G7, said Lena Komileva, an analyst at brokerage Tullett Prebon in London, referring to the Group of Seven rich countries.A deluge of economic data and company reports Monday suggested economic growth was slowing in powerhouse emerging markets China and India and reinforced expectations of a deep recession in advanced economies.

In the US, a survey from the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) showed a weaker-than-expected reading while separate data showed construction spending down 1.2 percent in October. The ISM index fell 2.7 points to 36.2 percent, the weakest since May 1982. The problems appeared worldwide, even in fast-growing Asian economies. In China, manufacturing activity hit a three-year low in November, according to a survey. Meanwhile, India's exports in October tumbled for the first time in three years, hit by slumping demand in its key US and European markets. Exports fell by 12 percent from the same month a year earlier to 12.8 billion dollars as demand shrank, according to government figures. It's time for another downturn, said Hideaki Higashi, a strategist at SMBC Friend Securities. Investors are selling, anticipating a correction after the string of advances.In other markets, the Toronto S&P/TSX plunged 9.32 percent and Brazil's Bovespa sank 5.07 percent. Earlier in Tokyo, shares closed down 1.35 percent, Mumbai's stock market lost 2.78 percent and Seoul and Sydney each fell 1.6 percent. Hong Kong rose 1.6 percent and Shanghai gained 1.25percent. Global stock markets had soared last week as governments rolled out measures to stimulate the global economy and fight against the credit problems in the financial sector.But like many times since the start of the financial crisis in mid-2007, a euphoric rally has been followed by a brutal correction.

A MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM DR. JACK VAN IMPE
The Birth of the Eternal God DEC 2,08

I feel that there is a tremendous need to enlighten mankind as to the true identity of Christ. Multitudes think of the Saviour as just another member of the human race born nearly 2,000 years ago. Nothing could be further from the truth. In this newsletter, I clearly want to trace the preexistence of Christ to prove that He was the Eternal God who became man, in order that He might die for poor, helpless, hopeless sinners. I also want to show that His birth had to be through the channels of a virgin, inseminated by the power of the Holy Spirit, if His sacrifice for sinners was to be effective.

Christ's preexistence

The altogether lovely One, born in Bethlehem's manger, existed from all eternity. The verse that prophesies His exact birthplace also tells of His preexistence. Micah 5:2: But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Isaiah masterfully handles this truth in chapter 9, verse 6, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.Let's analyze this verse for a moment. Notice that a child is born (this speaks of the Lord's birth), but the next phrase mentions a son being given. This speaks about God sending the Son who was in His presence and coincides with Galatians 4:4, When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son. Then Isaiah goes on to proclaim this Son as God by the titles The mighty God and The everlasting Father. These terms are possible because of the relationship of the Trinity. Remember that Jesus said in John 10:30, I and my Father are one.John opens his gospel with the statement, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made (John 1:1-3). In verse 14, he identifies this member of the Trinity who is called the Word. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. Think of it. This One who was in the beginning with God and was God became flesh and lived among insignificant human beings because of His love for sinners.

Yes, Christ always existed and came from heaven to earth. Listen to His numerous statements verifying this truth: For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world (John 6:33). I am the living bread which came down from heaven (John 6:51). Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world (John 8:23). I proceeded forth and came from God (John 8:42). I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world (John 16:28).In His high priestly prayer, Jesus said, I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, 0 Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was (John 17:4, 5). Jesus said in John 5:46, Moses...wrote of me. Here Christ delves back hundreds of years to the first five books of the Bible, called The Pentateuch, and states that Moses mentioned Him. This is important because Moses recorded these words centuries before the birth of Christ. Jesus also said in John 8:56, Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. How could Abraham see His day centuries before His birth if there were no preexistent One? Oh, friend, Jesus always existed as a coequal member of the Trinity. Don't listen to a group of blinded cultists who would rob Christ of His deity, but hear the Word of the Lord. His preexistence is also proven through the Bible statements indicating that He created the world. John 1:3: All things were made by him. John 1:10: He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. Colossians 1:16: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. Hebrews 1:2 states, By whom also he [Christ] made the worlds.The part Christ had in creating the world and mankind agrees with the Old Testament account of creation. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1). The Hebrew for God is Elohim, a plural noun, meaning more than one. This is a glorious declaration of the Trinity. You don't believe it? What will you do with Genesis 1:26? And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.We have but skimmed the surface of evidence that proves that Christ preexisted His earthly birth. Now let's move on to the glorious truth of His coming to earth via the channel of a virgin's womb. At this point let's consider Philippians 2:5-8 because it is such a glorious transitional passage. It brings the eternal God from heaven to a bodily appearance upon earth so that He might die for sinners. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God [His spirit form in eternity], thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men [His birth]. Why? Verse 8: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Christ's virgin birth

Lost religionists mock the virgin birth. In an issue of the magazine Challenge, a number of sickening articles and poems appeared. I quote one of them to show the world how far liberal modernistic religionists will go in their attempt to rob Christ of His deity. It is a poem about Mary, the mother of Jesus. In the poem she says:First, I've got nothing to say -- about anything that happened before Joseph and I got married. Jesus was our child. Joseph's and mine. You can believe it or not. Suit yourself. He was my first born so naturally I thought he was something special. So, he's the Messiah they say. I'd rather he had stayed a carpenter, married a nice Jewish girl and given me a lot of fat little grandchildren.What blasphemy! This is the prophecy of the Apostle Peter fulfilled before our eyes. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of (2 Peter 2:1, 2).Yes, the way of truth is often evil spoken of because of ordained wolves in sheep's clothing who call themselves members of the Christian faith and yet would tear Christ to shreds if the opportunity presented itself. The crucifixion would be mild in comparison to what some of our lost seminary professors would do to Jesus if they had the chance in this twentieth century. However, let's not waste our time on man's drivel but instead invest it wisely as we listen to the Word of God concerning the truth about the virgin birth.

A virgin birth was necessary because Adam sinned. Since Adam was the head of the human race, every person born into it through natural generation or through the process of birth inherits the old sinful Adamic nature. Wherefore, as by one man [Adam] sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned (Romans 5:12). Yes, all sinned or became guilty of sin simply by inheriting the fallen nature of Adam at birth. Quirks and diseases are passed on from generation to generation. Sugar diabetes is a prime example. Likewise, the sin nature is passed on to every generation. Romans 5:18 is another verse that clearly teaches the necessity of a virgin birth. Therefore as by the offence of one [Adam] judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [Christ] the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.Notice that judgment came upon all men unto condemnation because of Adam's sin, but through the righteousness of Christ one may be liberated from this judgment. It is only logical to conclude that if Christ had come through the normal channels of reproduction, He would have also been born with this judgment of condemnation upon Him because He also would have inherited Adam's sinful nature. Therefore, in order that He might set men free from this condemnation, He had to be born in another manner so as not to be tainted with the old wicked nature of Adam.There was only one way this possibility existed and that was through a virgin birth -- bypassing man through insemination of the virgin's ova by the Holy Spirit. This ova lies dormant in every woman until it is activated by a male sperm. Gasoline is also dormant until activated by a spark. Is it an impossibility for the God, who formed man out of the dust of the ground and took a rib out of man to form woman, to place the activating seed within this holy virgin and bring forth His Son through the miracle-working power of His Holy Spirit? Of course not. This is exactly what the Father did. Hear the Word of God.The very first messianic prophecy is found in Genesis 3:15. There we hear the Lord God uttering a prophecy against the serpent, saying, And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it [the woman's seed] shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. The statement, her seed, is the first reference to the virgin birth in God's Word. All humans are from the seed of man, but the seed of a woman implies a stupendous miracle. Jeremiah 31:22 again speaks of a miraculous event that would occur upon this earth. For the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.A woman conceiving and bearing a manchild would not be a new thing in the earth this is the rule of life. After conception, one bears a male or female child. Therefore this entirely new thing that would transpire had to be a miracle. What was it? A woman, without any human intervention or penetration, would conceive, carry, and deliver a man-child. This happened to be the Lord Jesus Christ, Saviour of the world. Isaiah 7:14 again sheds light on this event of the ages. Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isaiah is not merely referring to a young woman giving birth to a son. That would not be a sign. Millions of young women have been able to bear sons. The sign is that a virgin shall bear a son without an act of intercourse.

Forget the arguments of the religious contortionists who argue that the Hebrew word almah is young woman instead of virgin. All one need do is study Matthew 1:23 where the Greek word parthenos can only be translated virgin to arrive at a final answer. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Verse 22 states that this is a quotation from the prophet. What prophet? Isaiah. And where did Isaiah make the statement? Chapter 7, verse 14. So, the Greek text handles the Old Testament He brew text proving that God meant a virgin and not a young woman.I repeat what was stated earlier: A young woman bearing a child would be no sign. Any of you young expectant mothers reading this would be the first to realize this truth. However, had you become impregnated miraculously by the power of God without knowing a man, it would very obviously be a sign. That happened to Mary and only to Mary.The reason that God the Son, originally in spirit form (see Philippians 2:5), had to have an earthly birth is found in Hebrews 10:4, 5. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not [animal blood could not take away sin], but a body hast thou prepared me. Since animal blood only covered sin and was presented as a down payment for sin's debt until God's Lamb should come, Christ had a body with divine blood prepared in the womb of a virgin so that He could shed that blood and die for the sins of the world. Because it had to be pure blood, free from the taint of Adam's sin, the body and blood were prepared by the Father and placed in the womb of the virgin Mary.Luke 1:26-28,30,31,34 depicts this thrilling story: And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.... Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

This is a precious truth. Though she was espoused or engaged to Joseph, she had not known a man or experienced premarital sex. Remember that God wrote the Bible, and He declares that Mary was a pure virgin. Away with the mentally warped, religious hypocrites who are so defiled that they imagine all sorts of depraved things about this sweet virgin. Not everyone thinks and acts as they do. Mary declares, I have never known a man -- how shall this baby be conceived? The blessed answer is found in verse 35: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Anyone who believes that God created this gigantic, fantastic, and astronomical universe certainly believes that God can bring His only begotten Son into the world by a separate act of creation. With God nothing shall be impossible (Luke 1:37).There is the entire story. The preexistent God, second member of the Trinity, came to take upon himself a body with blood so as to shed His blood for sinners. The sin-tainted blood inherited from Adam would not qualify Him as the sinless Saviour, so a body was prepared with blood produced by the Father, and placed into the womb of a virgin by the blessed Holy Spirit. Christ eventually went to the cross and shed His blood. Because He was the God-man shedding untainted holy blood, mankind may have eternal life by receiving this sacrifice. Believe the Word of God -- see Christ crucified and risen again. Receive this Christ today.

FROM THE HEART OF DR. REXELLA VAN IMPE
Is There Room in Your Heart for Him? DEC 2,08

What a special time of the year! Thanksgiving and Christmas are more precious to me than any other holidays, and they so beautifully go hand in hand.More and more, Dr. Van Impe and I realize the importance of being grateful for the true essence of Christmas - that God became flesh. He came as a baby, humbling himself to a manger, and, one day, to Calvary's tree for you and me. Oh, what love!I wonder if we can really understand the emotion in heaven and the joy here on earth as Mary and Joseph made their way to Bethlehem just prior to the birth of Christ.Can you see them as they wearily make their way through the narrow streets of Bethlehem? Mary, tired from the long journey, sits on the little donkey as Joseph leads it along.Their journey is almost over, and none too soon. They stop in front of one of the inns in Bethlehem. With a tender word, Joseph comforts his wife and then strides quickly toward the inn door.Have you ever wondered what Mary was thinking as Joseph knocked at the innkeeper's door? Perhaps she was remembering what her cousin Elizabeth had said to her some time before. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance [fulfillment] of those things which were told her from the Lord. (Luke 1:42-45).Mary knew how blessed she was, for out of all the women in the world, God had chosen her to give the world this baby; He was the Son of God, produced by the Holy Spirit, waiting to be born in Bethlehem (see Luke 1:35 and Hebrews 10:5).

Mary knew about the promise that foretold: But thou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting (Micah 5:2).Mary's mind didn't dare leap ahead to contemplate the rest of those words. It was enough for her to know that she was, at this very moment, in Bethlehem (ancestral home of King David, Joseph's forefather) and that her time to give birth was at hand.Mary looked at Joseph, footsore and fatigued from walking alongside the donkey all the way so that she could ride. She knew how blessed she was to have this good and just man as her husband. He had handled the situation so well. He had shown her nothing but love and concern. More than once he had told her, I know, beloved wife, that this child has been conceived in a special way. The angel laid all my fears to rest.Joseph had learned of Mary's pregnancy after she returned from visiting Elizabeth. For six months, they had marveled at the conversations they each had with the angel. It must have been awesome for them, realizing that the Holy Ghost had visited Mary and that the child she carried was a divine original.Oh, Joseph, I can hear Mary saying, He is to be called the Son of God.Yes, Mary, Joseph responded, and His name is to be called JESUS, for He shall save His people from their sins.Did they recall the words of Isaiah? Did they repeat those names? Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel ... For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 7:14, 9:6).Perhaps Mary remembered those conversations as her husband knocked at the innkeeper's door. She was so tired. The journey had been long and hard. But now, at last, they had arrived in Bethlehem.For us, today, a journey to Bethlehem is still not easy. In the hustle and bustle of the season, there are many things to deter us. We've all heard that we should keep Christ in Christmas, but let's be sure that we keep ourselves in Christmas, as well! If we are not careful, we can become so busy with Yuletide activities that we are exhausted before we get to Bethlehem - and miss the real Christmas altogether.

Knock ... knock ... knock!

Joseph knocks at the innkeeper's door. A Baby is about to be born - the most important Baby ever to be born on this earth. Let us in ... let Him in ... out of the cold and darkness of the night. But the Bible tells us there was no room for them in the inn (Luke 2:7).No room! Those are heart-rending words. Would we have said that? Yet, isn't it being said every day? We are all innkeepers, with room for many things, but do we have room for Him? In our lives - shabby stables that they are - He may be cradled, but we must give Him room.Joseph, the rugged carpenter of Nazareth, a just man whose faith transcended his misgivings, enfolded Mary's helplessness in his strong arms as he lifted her off the back of the little donkey. Someone had tapped him on his sagging shoulders and said, There is a place, if your wife won't mind. I know I can fix it and make it clean. It will be quiet there ... and warm.Joseph had ministered to Mary's needs in that weary pilgrimage to Bethlehem; but his husbandly duties had not yet ended. Mary in a stable? The Son of God born in a barn? How his mind must have reeled. Remember, he was very human.

Husband, would you like for your wife to give birth to her firstborn in a stable? What lowly circumstances! The Lord of all heaven and earth was about to make His human presence known in the world - but in a barn? This was not the birthplace Joseph had imagined for JESUS.Barns smell, not just of clean hay, but of animals. Barns are not always sanitary. Oh, the lovely Nativity scenes we see at Christmas do not begin to portray what Joseph and Mary must have experienced in those pre-birth moments, as they contemplated their plight.One wishes we could push back the pages of time and make it different - different, perhaps, like the school Christmas play I heard about.One little boy had been asked to play the role of the innkeeper; it was quite a challenge for him because he was a very excitable child - but his teachers wanted to include him. His parents, teachers and schoolmates were so pleased that he had this opportunity.His were simple lines. When Joseph knocked at the door and asked for a room, he, the innkeeper, would say, There is no room in the inn. Seven words. And that was all.The big night came. Practice performances had gone well. Then came that moment.Knock ... knock ... knock - Joseph knocks at the inn door. With great emotion and convincing reality, Joseph presents his case to the innkeeper. His wife is very pregnant. In fact, the baby is due any moment. Won't the innkeeper please let them in? The little boy who had rehearsed his lines so very carefully, listened patiently, then said the seven words loud and clear: There is no room in the inn.Joseph turned, his shoulders sagging. But before he could leave, the innkeeper opened the door, thrust his head out, and said, loud and clear, Wait ... wait! You can have my room.

It wasn't in the script. Nor was it in the script on that first Christmas. And so it was, that ... she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn (Luke 2:6,7).As we recall this short synopsis of the most beautiful story ever given from God, may your heart be reminded of the importance of remembering, not just the gifts that are to come, the families we are to see, and the loved ones we shall enjoy, but remembering the true message of Christmas - God's love for us. And may we not get so distracted by the many activities of the holiday season that we never even reach Bethlehem.Dr. Van Impe and I are grateful for the opportunity to share the saving message of God's love for the world in these closing days of time. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Manhigut Yehudit to Leiter: 100% of Israel - Not 50% December 1, 2008

Weak Israeli leaders create an atmosphere in which terrorists understand that they receive a reward for terror. Whether it is releasing murderers from prison cells, offering Jewish land for the illusion of peace, or persecuting Jewish citizens who cling to their heritage and their holy Land of Israel, a signal is sent out that terror pays and pays big. Yesterday, Yechiel Leiter - the alleged right-winger and former Benjamin Netanyahu campaign manager who is running for the Likud’s Knesset list - made an astounding statement that should be a wake-up call to those who love the Land of Israel. Leiter publicly and unashamedly stated that, If I have to choose between receiving 0% and receiving 50% [of Judea and Samaria], I choose the latter. He added that, if we don't declare our own borders they will be declared for us.

Yechiel Leiter's clear implication is that Israel is not a sovereign nation but just a puppet of the nations of the world.Leiter’s statement comes on top of his own Leiter Plan in which he advocated the destruction of 11 Jewish towns. He added that, We will tear our clothing in mourning [for these towns]. We will sit shiva but the nation will accept it. There will be only 2% who won’t accept it. Ostensibly, Leiter does not include his town among those who he deems eligible to be destroyed.The Jewish Nation has already sat shiva for thousands of Jews who have been murdered as a result of the sin of giving away parts of our G-d-given Land of Israel.David Ben-Gurion said that no Jew has the right to give away any of the Land of Israel. Menachem Begin assured us that by giving away the Sinai we would forever keep all of Judea and Samaria. Yitzhak Rabin only pledged autonomy to the Arabs. Manhigut Yehudit officials ask Yechiel Leiter why it is by his word that the Jewish People should forever give away to our sworn enemies the Land which we have been given by our Creator. We ask by what hubris (and by what logic) does Yechiel Leiter – who touts himself as a religious Jew who has been instrumental in the settlement enterprise – think that he is the one to save Israel by creating a terror state in our biblical heartland.

Leiter's statements that concessions are inevitable further the minority, leftist, suicidal plan to amputate the biblical heartland of Israel. Leiter's words not only are dangerous to Israel’s physical existence, but they also contradict the official Likud Charter which calls for the annexation of all areas of Israel liberated in the 1967 War.The Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Schneerson, a true Torah giant and Jewish leader of this generation, warned of the danger to Jewish lives of negotiating Jewish Land. He also explicitly stated that it is forbidden to cede to a non-Jew, even a tiny strip of the Land of Israel. Unfortunately his warnings continue to be unheeded by most of those leading Israel.Less than 48 hours after two of the Rebbe's emissaries were brutally murdered in India for the sole crime of being Jewish, Yechiel Leiter dishonored their memory by speaking of further concessions.Israel needs new leadership that will cling to its heritage and its land in the example of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and his emissaries. On December 8th, Likud voters can choose such a candidate. No, it is not Yechiel Leiter. It is Moshe Feiglin, who will restore Jewish values and Jewish pride to the state of Israel. He will stay true to the Land of Israel (and to the Likud Charter's statement on the Land), the Jewish People, and our Creator. When Moshe Feiglin enters the government in the party which controls the country, he will do everything in his power to move Israel in this direction. A “belief-based” Knesset Member like Feiglin in the Likud party with clear aspirations for the Prime Minister’s office in the near future will set off a revolution of thought throughout Israel that it is possible (and necessary) for Israel to change course, to survive, and to thrive by clinging to its heritage.

Russia test launches ICBM from White Sea, hits Kamchatka target
20:49 | 28/ 11/ 2008

MOSCOW, November 28 (RIA Novosti) - The Dmitry Donskoi Typhoon-class strategic nuclear-powered submarine has carried out another test launch of a Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile, a Defense Ministry source said on Friday. The Bulava was launched from a submerged position in the White Sea toward a target located at the Kura test site on the Kamchatka Peninsula, the source said. He later said it had successfully engaged its designated target on the Kamchatka Peninsula about 6,700 kilometers (4,200 miles) east of Moscow. The previous test of the Bulava missile was carried out on September 18. Russia is planning to adopt new Bulava missiles for service with the Navy and commission the first Borey-class strategic nuclear submarine in 2009. The Bulava (SS-NX-30), developed by the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology, is designed for deployment on Borey-class Project 955 nuclear-powered submarines. The first submarine in the series, the Yury Dolgoruky, was built at the Sevmash shipyard in the northern Arkhangelsk Region and is currently undergoing sea trials. The submarine has a length of 170 meters (580 feet), a body diameter of around 13 meters (42 feet), and a submerged speed of about 29 knots. It will be equipped with 16 Bulava ballistic missiles, each carrying up to 10 nuclear warheads and having a range of 8,000 kilometers (5,000 miles).

Russian PM Putin signs order to build Baltic Pipeline System-2
20:09 | 01/ 12/ 2008

MOSCOW, December 1 (RIA Novosti) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has signed an instruction on the design and construction of the second stage of the Baltic Pipeline System, the government said on Monday. The Baltic Pipeline System-2 with an estimated cost of 120-130 billion rubles ($4.3-4.7 billion) will run from western Russia's Bryansk Region to the Leningrad Region port of Ust-Luga with a branch going to the Kirishi oil refinery. According to the document, the project will be funded through a long-term ruble-denominated bond issue by pipeline monopoly Transneft. The bonds will be placed through a private offering among state-controlled financial organizations. The Energy Ministry along with the Ministry of Economic Development, the Regional Development Ministry, the Finance Ministry, the Federal Tariff Service and state-run VEB bank are to develop a model to fund the project within three months after Transneft has submitted a feasibility study. Construction on BPS-2 is to be launched in 2009 and completed two years later. Oil will start to be transported in late 2012 with an initial pumping capacity of up to 30 million metric tons (220 million bbl), which will subsequently be raised to 50 million tons a year (367 million bbl). The Russian premier earlier proposed that foreign partners use BPS-2 and that they buy shares in BPS-2's terminal at Ust-Luga. The first stage of the Baltic Pipeline System, with a capacity of 12 million tons of oil annually and designed to transport oil from both Russia's oil-rich regions and Kazakhstan, was commissioned in 2001. Its current capacity is 75 million tons. The BPS-2 project emerged during an oil dispute between Russia and Belarus in January 2007, when Russia cut off supplies to Europe for four days via the Druzhba pipeline after Belarus refused to let Russian oil pass through the country without payment of a transit duty.

Ukraine, Georgia will join NATO when ready: Rice Mon Dec 1, 11:21 am ET

LONDON (AFP) – Ukraine and Georgia will eventually become NATO members, but they have a long road ahead to meet the entry criteria, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday.She was speaking a day before NATO foreign ministers meet in Brussels, where they are likely to back away from offering the two former Soviet states a fast-track process to join the world's biggest military alliance.Rice also defended NATO's suspension of ties with Russia following its brief war in August with Georgia. Moscow strongly opposes the NATO aspirations of both Georgia and Ukraine.Georgia and Ukraine will be members of NATO, Rice said in a joint press conference in London with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, who will also attend the Brussels NATO talks.We believe strongly in NATO's open-door policy that states that are prepared for NATO membership and can assume the responsibilities therein should be welcomed into the organisation.But there is a long road ahead for both Georgia and Ukraine to reach those standards. The United States stands resolutely for those standards, meaning that there should be no shortcuts to membership of NATO.No one wants to see a circumstance in which Ukraine and Georgia are shut out, she said.Meanwhile Rice added that Washington is not opposed to the resumption of ties between the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and Russia, suspended after Russia's occupation of part of Georgia in August.We have in principle no problem with the resumption of our ties between NATO and Russia. Indeed there have been at lower level the resumption of those discussions.It's simply a matter of what is appropriate, and what was appropriate at a time when clearly Russia's behaviour in Georgia was quite contrary to all of the values and principles on which NATO stands.

WORLD TERRORISM

GENESIS 6:11-13
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

2 PETER 2:5
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

2 PETER 3:7
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men

LEVITICUS 26:16
16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you( sudden) terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

GENESIS 16:11-12
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

ISAIAH 33:1,18-19 Woe to thee that spoilest,(destroys) and thou wast not spoiled;(destroyed) and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil,(destroy) thou shalt be spoiled;(destroyed) and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

JOHN 16:2
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

Mumbai Massacre: Concessions Fuel Global Terror
December 1, 2008

Last week’s horrific massacre in India claimed the lives of nearly 200 victims including six Israelis brutally murdered. In the aftermath of the attack, outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has once again demonstrated that he steadfastly refuses to fight our enemies except by appeasement and has pledged to release another 250 terrorists.In Mumbai, the terrorists specifically targeted the Chabad House and murdered the beautiful Jews Rabbi and Rebbetzin Holtzberg and their four Jewish visitors. The fact that the government in the Jewish homeland releases terrorists as a goodwill gesture only empowers the terrorists and makes citizens of free countries worldwide susceptible.Olmert’s actions clearly create a situation that could precipitate more attacks globally. Olmert, Foreign Minister Livni, Defense Minister Barak and the other Israeli leaders who all claim to be in the mainstream but are really left-wing extremists advocate rewarding terror with further concessions of Jewish land and by releasing murderers. These leaders, who will do anything to cling to power - except clinging to their Jewish heritage - have already demonstrated that their Land for Peace plans only lead to dead and maimed Jews and the loss in the belief of the justness of our cause by Jews in Israel and worldwide. In order to deflect attention from their lack of interest in Israel’s survival, they attempt to portray Likud candidate for Knesset Moshe Feiglin in a negative light. In actuality Feiglin is the only leader in Israel who has a cogent platform that is in tandem with the stated American goal of fighting and defeating terror. Feiglin opposed (and remains opposed to) the Oslo Accords which rewarded evil by reinventing a mass murderer, Yasser Arafat, as a man of peace and giving him huge sections of Israel – free of Jews - in which most of our Jewish holy sites are located. Oslo resulted in thousands murdered throughout Israel, and suicide bombers then made their way next to U.S. soil on 9/11. The United States would never adopt a land for peace platform on its own homeland to appease Al Qaeda. Why should Israel? rmuchnick@manhigut.org The Manhigut Yehudit website is www.jewishisrael.org.
