EPHESIANS 6:10-13
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,(DEMONIC ANGELS IN HIGH PLACES) against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.(SPIRTIUAL DEMONIC PERSONS)
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

LUKE 4:5-7(BECAUSE SATAN OFFERS WORLD POWER, WORLD ORDERERS HAVE ACCEPTED SATANS GIFT)
5 And the devil, taking him (JESUS) up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

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.

DANIEL 12:4,1
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

REVELATION 13:1-3,7,8,12,16-18
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
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,(WORLD SOCIALISM) 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.

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

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

Audit the Fed in 2011 Ron Paul
Texas Straight Talk December 14, 2010

The Fed is a government-created banking monopoly.

Since the announcement last week that I will chair the congressional subcommittee that oversees the Federal Reserve, the media response has been overwhelming. The groundswell of opposition to Fed actions among ordinary citizens is reflected not only in the rhetoric coming out of Capitol Hill, but also in the tremendous interest shown by the financial press. The demand for transparency is growing, whether the political and financial establishment likes it or not. The Fed is losing its vaunted status as an institution that somehow is above politics and public scrutiny. Fed transparency will be the cornerstone of my efforts as subcommittee chairman.Thanks to public pressure earlier this year, Congress did pass legislation that requires the Fed to disclose some information about its bailout of select industries and companies following the 2008 financial crisis. So two weeks ago the Fed released data concerning more than $3 trillion of assistance it offered to banks through its bailout facilities. After reviewing this data, however, we are left with many more questions about the Fed’s lending.In the Term Securities Lending Facility, the Fed was supposed to have loaned against AAA-rated securities– yet over half of the collateral put up by banks to obtain loans had no listed credit rating. Should we assume that the Fed accepted absolute junk rated securities as collateral for loans? Presumably these securities were so bad that they wouldn’t even publicize their credit rating. So why should our central bank, backed up by your taxes, accept such collateral?

On another note, of the $1.25 trillion purchased under the Fed’s Mortgage-Backed Securities Purchase Program, only $877 billion in purchases have been publicized. What happened to the remaining $400 billion? These kinds of limited disclosures by the Fed only underscore the need for a full and complete audit of the Fed’s financial books. This audit should be done by an independent third party, in the same manner that public companies are audited. The Fed should make public its balance sheet, income statement, and perhaps most importantly its cash flow statement. It also should publicize the notes explaining those financial statements.

We seem to forget sometimes that Congress created the Fed– it is a government-created banking monopoly, and its top decision-makers are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. If the Fed does not perform satisfactorily in the eyes of these politicians and their constituents, the Chairman and Governors may not be re-nominated.In theory, Congress could even repeal the Federal Reserve Act altogether since it has the authority to do so. Obviously Congress is within its authority to audit an organization it created by statute, and it is time to assume that responsibility.With 320 Members of Congress cosponsoring my legislation to fully audit the Fed in the 111th Congress, my hope is that we can build on our broad bipartisan coalition in 2011 and continue the push for greater Fed transparency going forward.

LYING IS NOT PATRIOTIC-RON PAUL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5b7M04xPRE&feature=player_embedded

FINALLY A WASHINGTON INSIDER IS SAYING THE TRUTH.CONGRESS IS THERE TO BAILOUT THE BANKS NOT THE NORMAL CITIZENS.THE SECRETIVE NEW WORLD ORDER THOUGHTS ARE OUT IN THE OPEN.THEY ARE COCKY ARE THEY NOT.

Incoming Financial Services Chairman: Washington’s Role Is To Serve The Banks
Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-AL)During the financial reform debate, Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-AL) — who will become chairman of the House Financial Services Committee in the 112th Congress — continually criticized the reform effort. He falsely characterized the legislation that ultimately became the Dodd-Frank financial reform law as creating permanent bailout authority, and he staunchly opposed the creation of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.Now that he’ll be taking the Financial Services committee gavel, Bachus has telegraphed his intention to weaken some of the bill’s most important sections, including derivatives reform and rules meant to prevent banks from making risky trades with federally insured dollars.

In an interview with The Birmingham News, Bachus made it clear why he opposed stricter regulations for banks in the wake of a huge financial crisis largely caused by Wall Street excess and a lack of prudent regulation. In Bachus’ estimation, the government’s role is not to protect consumers and the wider economy through regulating financial activity, but to simply serve the banks:Bachus, in an interview Wednesday night, said he brings a main street perspective to the committee, as opposed to Wall Street. In Washington, the view is that the banks are to be regulated, and my view is that Washington and the regulators are there to serve the banks, he said.According to the article, Bachus later tried to clarify that what he meant was regulators should set the parameters in which banks operate but not micromanage them.Bachus is far from the only Republican on the Financial Services Committee who feels that consumers and regulators should be subservient to the banks. Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), for instance, has said that bank profits should always trump consumer protections. But rarely has a Republican lawmaker laid out so starkly just whose interests he believes Washington is supposed to be protecting.

Back in October, Bachus told a crowd of 100 financial services industry lobbyists that banks should really be making campaign contributions to Republicans, because Democrats hammered the banks by enacting the Dodd-Frank financial regulatory reform law. The banks responded by giving more heavily to Republicans than Democrats in the home stretch to November’s election. And it seems that Bachus is now fully prepared to give them what they paid for.

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.

Saving Private Ryan but losing Lt. Col. Lakin: Too Few Good Men
By Douglas J. Hagmann

14 December 2010: Sadly, there seems to be more talk about ineligibility on any given Sunday during football season in the U.S. than about one of the most important issues in America today. It’s the issue that still hasn’t gone away, despite the best attempts of politicians, media pundits, and well known talk show hosts from both sides of the political aisle. It’s the issue of the eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to occupy the highest elected office in the United States.Many Republicans and conservatives, under the influence of their Kool-Aide induced agendas, have described the eligibility issue as a distraction from the real issues. The majority of Democrats and progressives, for obvious reasons, have resorted to associating the issue with race, bigotry and hatred. Together, detractors of this issue from both sides have engaged in the methodical marginalization of the message and mocking those who dare act as the messengers.What could be more fundamentally important than ensuring that the person at the helm of our country, the Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful military in the world, the holder of the keys to the nation’s nuclear lockbox is indeed constitutionally eligible to hold this office? I see more outrage on Sunday afternoons by grown men living vicariously by dressing up in the jersey of their favorite football player when a receiver is declared ineligible.

Despite rabid and consistently incorrect assertions to the contrary, Barack Hussein Obama has not provided one single item of authenticated evidence to prove that he is a natural born citizen and thusly qualified to be president as defined by Article II, Section I, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution. Not only has he not provided such documentation, he has fought long and hard, and spent what many reliable reports suggest as well over a million dollars against releasing his birth certificate and numerous other documents relevant to his background.It is not within the scope of this article nor is it my intent to discuss the definition of natural born citizen, the Vattell Theory, or other technical matters related to this issue beyond this one fact: Obama could have been born in the middle of the White House lawn at noon on a crowded weekday with John, Jackie and Rose Kennedy serving as witnesses, and with Teddy serving the drinks, but that, by itself, does not make him eligible to hold the office of President of the United States.While the so-called men in our country are busily fretting over the news that Brett Favre is ending his NFL streak, there is one real man, an American patriot, whose own unblemished record is also coming to an end today. His name is Lt. Col. Terrence Terry Lakin, an Army flight surgeon with 18 years of honorable service to our country. His military court martial begins today, and by all accounts, he will be spending the next one to five years in Leavenworth.In terms of contemporary history, I’d sadly wager that Favre has better name recognition than Lakin. In terms of historical importance, however, I’d wager that the annuls of American history will hold a special place of valor, honor and bravery for Lt. Col. Lakin. It will not likely be for the venue he chose, his method and manner of battle, but for the fact that this highly decorated man had the guts to do what countless others haven’t. That is to ensure that as an officer in our military, he was following legal and legitimate orders in accordance with the Constitution of the United States.

I doubt that the start of today’s court martial proceedings of this high ranking military official will receive much, if any, coverage by any of the mainstream talk show hosts regardless of the network. If there is any discussion devoted to the issue, it will likely be limited to the fact that Lt. Col. Lakin disobeyed a direct order and essentially invited his own court martial and paved his own destiny. Perhaps that is the case, or at least the most basic legal element of this case.
Meanwhile, the majority of the mainstream conservative commentators and pundits will continue to ignore Lt. Col. Lakin and the larger eligibility issue or mock those who bring it up, even as they pay lip service to the Constitution of the United States. These media pundits have been issued their talking points and a list of topics that are out of bounds. If they wish to continue with their comfortable media careers, they must not stray from the approved script.Members of the elite conservative bloggers who wish to remain on the “A” list of invitees to network and cable news shows must also conform to the topical standards and avoid devoting any virtual print space to this issue. Whether a co-opted conservative pundit or blogger, or a progressive with an inherent disdain for such inconveniences as the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law, their responses or lack thereof will be similar.

Detractors of the eligibility issue will insist that this case is about a military officer failure to report, or in military parlance, missing movement and nothing more. Lt. Col. Lakin failed to obey orders and must be punished, period. This case is about following or failing to follow military orders, nothing more and nothing less.By that logic, the military guards at Auschwitz and other concentration camps should never have been subjected to trial at Nuremberg or otherwise punished. After all, they were just following orders. As for the detention and extermination of the Jews, well, bringing that up while there was a war going on was a distraction from the real issues of the day.

A mission revised
There is one major difference, however, between our initial focus and our operation of today. It is a difference born of a combination of experience, investigative insight, and the more visible actions of opponents to our security and freedoms. It is our broadened investigative focus of every individual or group who threatens our security and way of life, whether through terrorism or tyranny. Failure to address the former illustrates a lack of credibility. Failure to address the latter exhibits a lack integrity. Failure to address both will lead to the ultimate destruction of our country. We are committed to addressing all. Buckle up and stay tuned.

By Douglas J. Hagmann The birth of an organization

13 December 2010: In the immediate aftermath of the 2001 attacks on America, nearly a dozen career investigators located throughout the United States joined together to proactively search for existing threats to the U.S. Individually and collectively, we were affected by the events of that day and in the days that immediately followed, having lost family members, friends or professional colleagues by these murderous attacks or in the subsequent rescue and recovery efforts.We were united in not only grief, but in resolve to do anything and everything in our power to protect our nation, our communities, our friends and loved ones from further death and destruction to the best extent of our abilities. Our group ultimately became known as the Northeast Intelligence Network, a name adopted by our organization based in part on the geographical concentration of investigators in the northeast portion of the U.S.As a result of an initial conference involving all members of the Northeast Intelligence Network, I was selected to be the spokesperson and primary contact for our organization. Some investigators, due to their roles in undercover assignments in the private sector and in their capacity as commissioned law enforcement officers, are legitimately required to remain anonymous.

As we became more well known inside and beyond law enforcement and intelligence circles, other individuals became involved as volunteer assets, allowing us to expand into military and other areas of intelligence. All such individuals have been thoroughly vetted and provided their bona fides for verification.Immediately following the establishment of our organization, we provided the U.S. Department of Justice an outline of our organization, our intended course of action, and complete dossiers of our members. In early 2002, we received specific instructions from the USDOJ on the channels to be used to furnish both critical and non-critical information regarding terrorist threats.Although many of those channels remain active and operational today, we have successfully cultivated other channels to assure that the recipients of our information are truly committed to preserving the security, sovereignty and safety of our nation. The significance of this will become clear.

Initial focus & activities

Although all of us were aware of the threat posed by Islamic terrorism well before September 2001, we were shocked by our initial findings relative to the scope and severity of the threat that existed already inside of the U.S. We discovered what professional intelligence analysts, most in the private sector, had known for some time: Islamic terrorists, their sympathizers and supporters were exploiting our laws and religious freedoms to wage war against us. They were freely using the Internet to recruit, motivate and train terrorists and terrorist sympathizers domestically and abroad to not only physically carry out additional terrorist attacks to murder and maim innocent civilians, but to infiltrate all aspects and all levels of our own government and other Western governments. In addition to those individuals and groups committed to attacking us with bombs and bullets, there exists a covert network of supporters and sympathizers, many who were and are posing as Muslim moderates.Between 1 October 2001 through the early spring of 2002, the Northeast Intelligence Network operated without public interaction. As a result of our findings relative to the extent of the threat we faced, the level of infiltration we found, and what we perceived as the various degrees of compromise of numerous federal agencies, we opted to create an informational web site to provide the public with our investigative results.Collectively we felt that this would have a two-fold purpose. First, it would serve as an informational and perhaps and educational outlet for the public, illustrating the extent of the threats we were observing. Secondly, it would serve as an informal method of accountability with regard to the general information we provided to federal authorities. With regard to the former, we were the first agency to post the actual videos of Muslim terrorists beheading their captors.Amid a flurry of national controversy, we did this to illustrate the savage nature of those who declared war against us at a time when the corporate media was just beginning to downplay these despicable acts. Based on the many thousands of e-mails we received about showing the full video clips of the beheadings, one thing became clear: the majority of the public was unaware of the evil and barbaric savagery of Islamic terrorism.Over the years, we have investigated numerous suspicious incidents, identified, translated and submitted numerous Internet postings of known and suspected terrorists, received countless tips, conducted numerous field investigations and provided volumes of documents to a variety of federal agencies. In a venue where feedback is never requested or expected, we were surprised by receiving brief acknowledgements that some of the data we provided indeed changed the course of certain events. That feedback came from those with boots on the ground who actually responded to such information. We are very thankful for these heroic and patriotic men and women of law enforcement, who understand and abide by the U.S. Constitution, for their actions in keeping our nation truly safe.

It is therefore interesting that it has been some of these very same people who have admitted that despite their best efforts and the authenticated veracity of some of the information we have provided, they have been waved off certain cases. Follow-up and further scrutiny found no legitimate purpose behind such instruction. Obviously, one must ask why? Furthermore, we have documented instances of paramilitary style training taking place inside the U.S. Our documentation has even been cited in books, investigative articles, and even government published reports. As a result of exposing such activity, we have received numerous threats by Islamic terrorists, including one particularly high profile Pakistani sheikh who was involved in the kidnapping and murder of Daniel Pearl. Yet these well documented activities that are obviously contrary to our national security have been allowed to continue unfettered. Again, one must ask why?

Growing forward

The Irish poet and dramatist Oscar Wilde wrote the pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.As investigators, we have always been committed to seeking the truth, regardless of where that path to the truth might lead. That tactic was often the cause of much frustration, as we began to notice that certain truths were handled differently than others. As in all types of thorough and truly independent investigations, sometimes revealing the truth is inconvenient, embarrassing, and downright messy. This is particularly relevant when political agendas influence and even corrupt the letter and spirit of our Constitution, the laws of our founders.

Currently, there are numerous other intelligence and security web sites that report strictly on Islamic terrorism as a stand-alone threat to our society. These sites are often integrated and utilized by the highest levels of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Our incidental interaction with these sites and the agencies behind them found very little distinction between the information they are publicly providing to the public and the official version being provided by the actual government agencies. We have been troubled by this contrived consistency, especially as it moves farther from fact and truth.There are also other web sites that offer information about the of Islamic terror threats, and provide commentaries and editorials that present such threats through the single lens of one political party or the other. They often elevate one party over another, one politician over another, or in some instances, deliver their message in a shrill, derogatory and sometimes profane fashion. Their messages appear to become marginalized by their methods or allegiances.Specific reference to both types of sites is made here as we believe that they tend to shy away from issues that involve negligence or even complicity with respect to the Islamic terror threat. In both cases, there seems to be a reluctance to present Islamic terrorism as only one single component to the growing variety of threats facing our great country.It is our collective view that both types of sites are perilously myopic if not disingenuous to truth. The whole truth.

As of December 2010, I am pleased to report that all of the investigators who initially established the core of our network remain active today. All continue to bring to this organization a wealth of professional experience in different real world areas of expertise, from tracking criminal and terrorist activities in cyberspace to excelling in various other investigative disciplines. We remain deeply committed to identifying threats to us as a country and to the freedom of West.
There is one major difference, however, between our initial focus and our operation of today. It is a difference born of a combination of experience, investigative insight, and the more visible actions of opponents to our security and freedoms. It is our broadened investigative focus of every individual or group who threatens our security and way of life, whether through terrorism or tyranny. Failure to address the former illustrates a lack of credibility. Failure to address the latter exhibits a lack integrity. Failure to address both will lead to the ultimate destruction of our country.We are committed to addressing all.Buckle up and stay tuned.

11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
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,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

GLOBAL ELITES REVEAL THE FINAL PLAN: DESTROY AMERICA
By Greg Evensen December 5, 2010 NewsWithViews.com

The black bull of power and evil began circling on the field of conflict generations ago. Its blood red eyes of hate and lust for power zeroed in on the man sent to slay him and end his rein of terror. Even though decades have gone by in this ultimate battle, this courageous man (as in mankind) of valor has been left to his own strength and abilities that are clearly below the raw power and determination of this luciferian symbol (tyrannical governmental military and police state brute force). The black beast’s sole reason for existence is to destroy the last challenge before the bull’s ultimate victory over all living things in its path. As the bull contemplates his final charge, supernatural rage overtakes him and he begins the final run toward this man, representing the strength of the free citizenry, who have faced this raging evil borne out of hell, and empowered by the greed of those who will not allow this free man to survive. No compromise, no quarter, no peaceful co-existence. It is death to one culture or the other. As the bull engages the free man by lifting him onto his massive horns, the bull carries him to the trunk of a huge tree and pins the man to its side. Death is imminent and sure to be brutal. With only his bare hands to defend himself, the man looks deeply into the eyes of this unholy machine, and in an instant, gouges those eyes, and then pulls them out completely. The gravely wounded animal pulls back his horns as the man lunges to the side and watches the beast stumbles forward until it reaches the gorge that has divided the field of battle from the meadow of freedom……….. (an excerpt from Evil’s Final Stand: Freedom Will Not Die a short novel in progress by Greg Evensen)So, if we attempt to follow the symbolism in this brief quote, where do we begin to draw the lines together that established this bull’s breeding and what about those who have so carefully nurtured it to its position in the vast field of power and dominance? I suggest the bull’s supernatural breeding comes from the same pit of darkness and corruption as the bowels of Hell itself. Its father was found in the demonic realm of money and governing power and it has nourished itself on the blood of war waged in its name. Its mother died in delivery because nothing could survive the arrival of such a vile and baseless beast. Raised in an environment of hate and lust for power unmatched in history, this ultimate destroyer has been groomed for the final assault on the man of valor by its godless handlers. Why the eyes as the target of freedom’s man? Blinded by freedom’s retaliation, the bull, still very dangerous, is no longer able to see its victim or what the man has in store for his final assault on evil’s raging-out of control-behemoth.Symbolically, freedom’s man, ---us, would then be able to draw the sword and slay the beast once and for all. Timing is truly everything.

By waiting any longer, however; we are exposed to a mounting power and rage that would limit a confrontation to the enemy’s strength and timing, which would limit or eliminate our ability to take some effective measure of a physical attack on the beast. By allowing it to continue to feed and grow, we would be inviting our own demise in the most brutal and overwhelming manner.Timing, as I have told hundreds of thousands, is the critical element here in how we, the man of valor, respond to the escalating threat circling in the field preparing its final assault. If you can get a picture of our situation through this symbolic illustration, then you just begin to understand the reality of world bankers, international corporate entities, domestic political figures, and all of their related networks and organizations mentioned so many times and how they have all stood a safe distance from the bull, yet fed him and groomed him for this moment. In reality, they wait even now, for the exact moment when we are the weakest. When we have given up, agreed to accept their terms, and while we cower, the beast moves in for the kill. That is our nation at this moment. Make NO mistake; elections notwithstanding, we are simply in an indefensible part of the field watching as the bull circles for its final attack run.

All of the usual cast of villains is still present. Goldman Sachs, the U.N., the Federal Reserve, corrupted federal courts, Eric Holder’s idea of a Justice department. Andrew Traver’s BATFE, the Czars, Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, ACORN--- how many roaches can occupy a building? They have all stood in that field, watching, waiting, lusting for this moment.Universities, to me, are among the vilest offenders. Presidents that curry political favor and money allow the most depraved faculty and curricula to flourish in the name of academic freedom. Professors with no courage, no truth, no dignity, no scruples, no values, and certainly no concern for their students, impregnate their campus with a dedication to educational tyranny worthy of 1930 Moscow or 1940 Berlin. They personally hand fed the bull.501-C(3) churches and apostate clerics also watered the bull. When it came down to scriptural truth versus butts or bucks in the pews, they chose the latter. Hundreds of thousands of sheep who came for comfort were lulled into submission by the alluring sound of the devil’s flute. Did we see right or wrong, spiritual strength and courage, the path of righteousness and leadership or possibly mentoring the next generation to stand in the face of evil? Nope, it wasn’t in the church bulletin. Scriptural encouragement only came for a single verse when the offering plates were passed.Guilty as charged, depart from me, I never knew you.

The idea of brotherhood has meant love and unquestioned support. It is seen in the military, fire teams, family, and in other mutually dependent areas of our society. The value of brotherhood and the willingness to sacrifice one’s life, if necessary, is the greatest commitment one can give to another. So today, we look at the corruption, greed and power cliques found in the trades and we believe all the lies about brotherhood that the union bosses force on their locals. Unions have become legalized mobs selling out to the greatest political whores available. Their unionized stable hands groomed the bull in shifts.Secret societies including communistic Jews, an atheistic Israel, and the occult constantly stir up the beast. Jesuits, Masons and the Vatican lead the others in a diabolical mission to serve the beast, turning on the brave, noble man we used to be. Fictional Allah and Islam with the Quran of death, beat believers into submission with Sharia law. We see the politically correct elite cramming Islam down our throats. It is now on the table in every state, as the next leap of evolutionary government and enlightened whore courts within America. They have all cheered on the monster like the illegal alien’s idea of the supreme Mexican bull fight, north of the used to be border.Perverts and vultures forging the minds of our children in the name of diversity continue unchallenged by a sodomite serving government and public school apparatus that cares only about indoctrination into the most vile of all atrocities. The teaching of anything goes in the sexual arena has ultimately caused the loss of sixty million babies to the abortion grinder and the picture of the dumpster as the “home” for unwanted anything goes results. This act of justification in the killing of innocents, frees every Nazi sent to prison, and pardons those war criminals who went to the Nuremburg gallows.

Add to this list doctors and hospitals, the CDC, FDA, the Pharmaceutical companies, Obama health care, courts that allow medical procedures that kill in the name of research and you are living in today’s America. They all helped keep the bull going on stimulants and Ritalin. No longer peace officers, law enforcers that Tase anyone close, work hand in glove (for groping your crotch) with the TSA and the latest class of government workers, to give you a cheap sex act in public, know no sense of constitutional duty, just come here little girl enticements as you travel to see grandma this Christmas. Grab their crotch and watch the piggy squeal.Tell me to grow food with a government license? Legalize the illegals? Chem-trail the skies, poison the land, feed us worthless food and GM fish? Spread death in the gulf and bring in more drugs. Let’s do all we can to demoralize our communities. Arrest and charge the good guys in Wisconsin incorporated counties so that no rule of law exists. All of this and more is coming in a not so lame duck (T-Rex) session of congress. There needs to be some serious ass-kickin’ in Washington. Rebel and don’t stop. Are you going to continue to pay extortion money each April to feed the bull? When you feed the bull this much, you are going to have to deal with a gigantic load of bullsh-t. But then, these stupidos have learned to pave the streets of Washington with this poor-man’s asphalt, so they have thought of almost everything.Are you really going to keep quiet and not challenge the illegal laws enacted by the truck load by these pimps and whores? Think you can hide from the bull this way?

FOLLOW THE MONEY-LOOK FOR THE POWER-FIND THE BULL

Want to gouge out the eyes of the bull? Write scathing editorials, picket hospitals, schools and colleges where bull breeding lessons are being taught.Stand and be heard EVERY time a school board, city council, county commission or state hearing room is open and in session. Smoke in the bars, have pork cook-outs in the park next to the Mosque. Bring your pet pig into the Muslim owned retail store. Get the picture? Get the IBM version of the eye gouging manual out, study it well, and get ready for hand to hand combat.This is a time to take no prisoners. They won’t let YOU go. The order of the day will come to shoot on sight when the bull is blinded. So, prepare to lock and load. There is no margin for error here. In combat, you either survive or the enemy does. Plan your actions with great care. Pray that God will allow sinful America to be reclaimed and rebuilt. If God says no, then fix bayonets and send some of these demonic idiots back to Hell.Having laid out the worst, can we make it through? Well, take on the full armor of God as in Ephesians 6. My engraveable Armor of God dog-tag hangs around my neck. Many, many folks have gotten theirs as well and engraved them for family members who are soldiers as Christmas gifts. See them and visit us at www.theheartlandusa.com.Plan for your lives as if the end of it all were at hand. We have tools to assist you when the bull arrives. Work with others, build a group of people you can count on. Do not be the generation that gave it all up and quit. Think this through and don’t lose your focus. The moment is historic and it rests in our hands. The bull has turned our way and lowered his head.

THE POTENTIAL COST OF SPEAKING OUT PART 1 By Dave Hodges December 12, 2010 NewsWithViews.com

When do your First Amendment rights to speak out against the emergence of a totalitarian form of American government conflict with your rights to maintain custody of your children? It depends on whether your diet includes a red or blue pill. If your collective blue pill diets continue unabated, then none of you will feel the need to speak out. Everything is fine, just go back to sleep. However, when one changes the color of their diet to red, their protective parental instincts surface in order to defend their beloved children from an oppressive government who views all children as their personal property. Sherrie Wilcox is the poster child who serves to portray the victimization of middle class American parents by big government. At first glance, Sherry Wilcox appears to be an unassuming mom who would frequent her child's soccer matches and accompany her sister to the local shopping mall. However, there is nothing average about Wilcox's ability to research a topic and draw cogent conclusions as I have found her to be a courageous and gifted researcher whose blog contains some amazing information and photographs of The Georgia Guidestones, pictures of thousands of FEMA coffins stored in her home state of Georgia as well as a stunning analysis of last year's deadly Ukrainian pneumonia with information that was largely unavailable in the main stream media. [See Sherrie Wilcox's blog.]Yet, for daring to exercise her First Amendment right to question the unconstitutional and illegal practices of the current federal government (e.g., mortgage fraud), Sherrie Wilcox received a visit from visit from Homeland Security, err….. The Georgia Child Protective Services (CPSS). In the assumed defense of her child, the CPS officials accused Wilcox of mental abuse and the neglect of her child.When I hear stories of abuse and neglect, I think of extreme physical discipline, starving children and the face of a child who is left alone to fend for themselves for long periods of time. Certainly, the investigation of Sherrie Wilcox's fitness as a mother would have begun with an examination of these variables wouldn't they? Well, not in this case. The Wilcox family ordeal began just prior to Halloween when Sherrie's child was questioned at school without being advised that she had the right to have an advocate in the room with her at the time questioning. Further, the interrogation questions had nothing to with Sherrie Wilcox's fitness as a mother as her child was asked the following questions:

(1) Does your mother take you camping?

(2) Where do you go camping?

(3) Who else goes camping with you?

(4) Does your mother store food?

(5) Does your mother have any guns?

(6) Has your mother remodeled your home?

(7) Does your mother have a safe room or a bomb shelter?

(8) Has your mother talked to you about the end of the world?

Being a former nationally certified mental health counselor who is intimately familiar with report requirements regarding child neglect and abuse, I fail to see the relevance of any of these questions regarding Sherrie Wilcox's fitness as a parent and why any agency charged with protecting child welfare would be concerned about camping and storing food. These questions defy all legal precedent and common sense.Upon returning home, the highly upset Wilcox child informed Sherrie about the intimidating interview and the unwarranted and intrusive nature of the questions that Georgia CPS officials asked the child at school. Wilcox promptly called CPS to inquire as to the motive behind subjecting her child to this extreme form of intimidation and mental abuse. The CPS official promptly informed her that they would be conducting an interview with her at her home in the morning. Sherrie Wilcox wisely arranged to have the ordeal videotaped by her sister and invited neighbors to witness this unique form of governmental intrusion of her parental rights.

After arriving at the Wilcox home, Georgia CPS officials proceeded to ask Wilcox the following questions and levied the following accusations:

1. Does she have solar panels on her house?

2. How and where do the Wilcox's go camping?

3. Does she store food? (Note: Sherrie Wilcox is a volunteer Red Cross nurse and her supplies are in accordance with FEMA guidelines).

4. Amazingly, CPS wanted to know if her house had an alternative heating source.

5. They also wanted to know if she had ever talked about the end of the world. (When the time is right, I hope Sherrie discusses the end of the American Republic with her child).

6. CPS accused Sherrie Wilcox of being in a top secret (unspecified) agency whose purpose is to overthrow the United States Government.

7. She was accused of blogging 20 hours per day and neglecting her child.

8. Finally, CPS wanted to know if she had committed the heinous parental act of renovating her house.

A partial video excerpt of these intrusive and illegal questions are posted on Sherrie Wilcox's blog.It is clear that the state of Georgia's CPS and their officials have been co-opted by Homeland Security to harass and profile innocent Americans who commit the unpardonable sin of speaking out against governmental wrongdoing. Is this what America has come to? In the weeks and months ahead, I will be writing about the most endangered species on the planet; the American citizen and the threats facing our kind.Americans are being attacked on several fronts as our fellow citizens private communications are being spied upon at every turn. TSA agents are committing egregious sexual assault crimes upon the traveling public that would land any of us in prison for five years with a felony conviction for second degree sexual assault.The inevitable resurgence of The Food Safety Act will lay the groundwork for an agricultural dictatorship as well as forcing unsafe GMO food products down our throats without the consent of the governed. In other words, American food supplies are being poisoned while Monsanto laughs all the way to the bank.

The dastardly creatures from Plum Island keep creating bioengineered autoimmune diseases (e.g., placing mycoplasma in Lyme disease) and then releasing the same upon an unsuspecting American public, while operating under patents owned by the Department of the Army and it is all legal (USC 50 section 32 paragraph 1520a). Speaking of mycoplasma, numerous reports are pointing to the fact that mycoplasma is being found in chemtrails.For those Americans on a red pill diet, it is clear that we are collectively being attacked at every level of our existence. These abuses even extend to our private residences. In America, a man's home is no longer his castle as the Pentagon is actively forcing thousands of American people off of their private properties, often resulting in bankruptcy, without so much as paying a dime in constitutionally mandated eminent domain compensation in the furtherance of their missions.Much of America's fresh water supplies (e.g., Alaskan melting glacier waters) are being shipped to India and China without the requisite compensation being paid to American towns and cities. And the same thing is happening at Lake Meade as well as The Great Lakes water supplies. Americans have lost their health care freedom. Very soon the Obama death panels will be deciding who lives and who dies.Residents on all three American coastlines are increasingly coming under direct physical attack from the top secret military operation known as Operation Red Flag as the Pentagon is beginning to conduct a massive series of five year war games which will imperil the health of coastal residents resulting from untold tons of airborne depleted uranium and phosphorus gas which will come ashore courtesy of the prevailing winds and will eventually force America's coastal residents from their homes as well as destroy agriculture in these states. With autoimmune disease infestations permeating both the East and West coast, it would appear that Agenda 21 is being carried out in full force. But that would be conspiratorial. Aren't we supposed to be good coincidence theorists?

White papers from the upcoming Cancun Climate Change Conference call for the forced relocation of residents from areas deemed to be climate sensitive. Meanwhile Cap and Trade, which cannot achieve passage in Congress, is being incrementally implemented through administrative fiat and will cause American utility rates to skyrocket and your right to use energy as you see fit will disappear. Do any of you fellow American frogs feel the temperature being dialed up? Arizona has enacted legislation to compel mandatory vaccinations, or face (FEMA Camp like) quarantine in the event of a declared health emergency. NORTHCOM troops continue training for domestic suppression of civil unrest and are becoming more skillful in the removal of large segments of Americans from their homes.Meanwhile, average citizens, like Sherrie Wilcox, are finding stockpiles of FEMA coffins across the country and for her trouble; the expression of her First Amendment rights coupled with her ability to continue in the role of a custodial parent, are being threatened. The FEMA camps are gearing up and are showing signs of being fully staffed and operational. For what purpose would they becoming operational? While we still have largely unfettered access to internet, perhaps America should be googling REX 84 and the Civilian Inmate Labor Program. It is difficult even for the blue pill crowd to deny the existence of holocaust centers within the United States when their existence is admitted to and contained within government documents. The government Fusion Centers continues to merge all segments of law enforcement into the largest data base collection in recorded history. They will serve as the command and control of the New World Order. Meanwhile, the American government is actively profiling average citizens (e.g., The MIAC Report) for suspicion of being domestic terrorists because of their support for Congressman Ron Paul, being a member of the Libertarian and Constitutional Parties, desiring to end the unconstitutional and criminal dominance of the Federal Reserve, supporting the Second Amendment, being a supporter of the United States Constitution, being a Christian and being a returning veteran.

Through criminal enterprise schemes such as the TARPS and the derivatives we have had our money and our children's economic future stolen from under our noses. Wall Street, the Federal Reserve and the United States have come to be viewed as the world's largest criminal syndicate in the history of mankind.Gulf Coast residents are experiencing deadly health effects which crossed the pandemic threshold months ago. However, the six corporations which control 98% of the media would have us believe that all is well and that BP really cares.As we continue to lift up the covers, this is only the tip of the iceberg and I shudder to think how bad things are truly going to get.As a print and broadcast journalist, there is a bonanza of salient material to report on. However, this is not a cause for celebration because, unfortunately, my young son must live in this growing cesspool that I feel compelled to write about while I try and counter an education system seemingly intent on deliberately dumbing down my child so he and his generation will never know what they are in the process of losing.To some, these allegations sound like the ravings of a lunatic, except that every word is true and verifiable and will soon be appearing in this column in the coming weeks and months. My black box warning label would caution all too carefully consider returning to your old life and keep ingesting your endless supply of blue pills courtesy of the mainstream media in order to perpetuate the illusion that has replaced America's common sense.

Europe Eurobonds proposal divides German government;DEC 14,10

ECB is considering requesting an increase in its capital from eurozone member states

Ahead of this week's European Council summit, Handelsblatt reports that Germany is not satisfied with the treaty change currently proposed and will aim for a stricter clause. A government spokesperson is quoted saying: From our perspective, a formulation which makes the connection between financial aid and the requirements for budget consolidation much clearer is desirable.Germany will also aim to state in the changes that the aid can only be used as ultima ratio in order to prevent small problems in a single country activating the mechanism.Meanwhile, the Eurobonds proposal has revealed open divisions within the German government, as Chancellor Angela Merkel appears to have contradicted comments made by Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble suggesting that Germany could accept Eurobonds and push for a political union in Europe if certain strict conditions were met. Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert is quoted in the Irish Times saying: The chancellor is convinced that what's necessary now is to act to defend a stable euro. Thoughts about what will be or won't be in 20 years are not on the agenda.Meanwhile, Reuters reports that the ECB is considering requesting an increase in its capital from eurozone member states. The article quotes a source saying, The issue is that the ECB is worried about potential losses from its bond buying. The ECB declined to comment. El País reports that Spanish banks are exposed by one third of Portuguese banks - making a total of €75bn.

Barroso: Up to member states to clarify WikiLeaks revelations
ANDREW WILLIS Today DEC 14,10 @ 17:44 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso has said it is not the task of his institution to explain revelations contained in US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks, insisting that EU member states are better positioned for the role. MEPs in Strasbourg on Tuesday (14 December) repeatedly asked Mr Barroso to outline his position on the diplomatic cables and the legal action currently being taken against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange who was granted bail on the same day, but the Portuguese politician fended off questions saying the issue was outside the commission's domain.All the leaks have really related to member states, said Mr Barroso. It's up to them to carry out clarifications.Several senior EU officials have been mentioned in the classified cables, providing an interesting insight into their private views, working methods and how they are seen by Washington.One cable describes EU energy commissioner Gunther Oettinger as a lame duck politician, sent to Brussels by German Chancellor Angela Merkel simply to get rid of him.Another shows co-operation between EU climate commissioner Connie Hedegaard and the US in order to garner global support for the controversial Copenhagen climate accord brokered in December 2009.European Council President Herman Van Rompuy is said to have expressed his relief at not attending the fateful meeting in Denmark. Had I been there, my presidency would have been over before it began, he is reported to have told the US ambassador to Belgium.

In another released conversation, former external relations commissioner Chris Patten explained why the EU will never be a real power. A cable from Russia says Prime Minister Putin saw Mr Barroso as a glorified international civil servant not worthy to be in the Czar's [presence].Despite the clear references to Brussels, Mr Barroso insisted it is not a commission issue: It's something that happened in the US ... and we have to be clear what are our competences.EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton took a similar line during a press conference on Monday. Asked if she or EU foreign ministers had discussed WikiLeaks or if she feared revelations about her self, she said No we didn't and I don't care, AFP reported.

Julian Assange

Mr Barroso was equally tight-lipped on the current legal battle surrounding WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Obviously there is a presumption of innocence until the courts find otherwise, he told MEPs.Mr Assange, who is fighting extradition to Sweden in a sex-crimes investigation, was granted bail by a British court on Tuesday, with the judge insisting he must abide by strict bail conditions.
The 39-year-old Australian has been held in a London prison for a week after surrendering to Scotland Yard for questioning after Sweden issued an arrest warrant.
Two women in Sweden have accused him of sexual misconduct in separate encounters, but Mr Assange denies the accusations, saying the incidents relate to consensual but unprotected sex.Some Assange supporters suspect the extradition request has been motivated by WikiLeaks' decision last month to begin publishing its store of 250,000 secret US diplomatic cables, something Swedish officials strongly deny.Italian Liberal MEP Sonia Alfano was among those raising doubts on Tuesday. The only thing he did was to show certain murky areas that important powers are not comfortable with, she said.

At the same time, Mr Barroso did concede that a similar release of sensitive documents could happen in the EU. What happened in the US we can't help thinking could happen in any system, he said. Its true that in the US system hundreds of thousands of people seem to have access to information, he added.A self-funded group of former EU officials, journalists and and NGO workers based in Belgium has recently set up an EU version of WikiLeaks to facilitate the spread of EU documents to civil society.The secure system currently used by EU diplomats to exchange information, Coreu, has better safeguards than the US however, one EU diplomatic source said.

Private guards outnumber policemen in seven EU countries
ANDREW RETTMAN Today DEC 14,10 @ 14:46 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Private-sector security guards outnumber policemen in seven mostly post-Communist EU countries according to the latest figures from the CoESS, the Brussels-based private security lobby. Hungary tops the list with 104.97 private guards per 10,000 inhabitants compared to 39.94 police officers. The pro-private ratio is the second heaviest in Romania (49.84 private guards versus 25.62 policemen), followed by Ireland, Poland, Finland, Luxembourg, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Slovenia.Italy, Spain, Malta, Denmark, Belgium and Lithuania have the lowest levels of private policing.The most populous EU countries tend to have the largest private security armies overall, with 170,000 private guards in Germany, 165,000 in Poland, 160,000 in France and 120,000 in the UK. Romania (107,000) and Hungary (105,121) give the big countries a run for their money. But Turkey has the biggest private security corps in Europe with 257,192 personnel.It is mostly the new EU member states that have a high private security force ratio, the study, entitled Third White Paper, says. This trend confirms a continued and sustained choice for new economic aims, which are closer to the free market than the old Europe, with the exception of Luxembourg and Ireland.The sector currently employs 1,630,524 people in Europe, up by 176,888 compared to 2009, and is dominated by men. In one trend: Companies, individuals and a growing number of public authorities are asking the private security industry for personal protection [bodyguards].CoESS is keen for the EU to roll out universally-recognised vocational qualifications for private guards to help them move jobs from country to country. But on the other hand, in line with intensive lobbying by CoESS, the sector was kept out the EU's Services Directive, which obliges old EU countries to let in workers from newcomers.

Zooming in on Belgian legislation, bodyguards and guards accompanying consignments of valuables are allowed to carry guns. But most guards who protect buildings such as cinemas or shopping malls and night watchmen may not. Belgian law also forbids the vast majority of guards from using force. They can perform citizens' arrest using handcuffs in special cases, however.EU buildings in Brussels are currently protected by the UK-based G4S company, which famously failed to stop an armed robbery inside the European Parliament in 2009.Meanwhile, the EU's new diplomatic corps, the European External Action Service (EEAS), is drawing up new guidelines on how to protect its 136 foreign delegations.An EU official told this website that Brussels tends to borrow soldiers from member states which already have heavily-guarded embassies in given hotspots, such as the UK in Iraq and France in Chad.It is envisaged that there will be public sector soldiers providing security for some delegations. In some cases it will be too politically sensitive to have physical security provided exclusively by private companies. So we are in this debate, the contact said.The official added that there are different cost and legal implications of using private security forces: If a guard killed somebody, unfortunately it is the company that provides the services that is responsible for those services.

In one example, the EU compound in Kabul is guarded by an outer ring of foreign-trained Afghan police, an inner ring of Nepalese Gurkhas and close protection bodyguards from the private London-based company Page Group.The specialist Paris-based publication, Intelligence Online, reported in October that France's General Secretariat for Defence and National Security is trying to help French companies break Anglo-Saxon firms' dominant position in the sector.It named the French ambassador in Baghdad, Boris Boillon, as promoting services by AICS Protection, Gallice Iraq Services and Anitcip.

Slovak politician calls for plan B to abandon euro
RENATA GOLDIROVA Today DEC 14,10 @ 09:15 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Slovakia, which joined the eurozone last year, should have a 'plan B' to return to its national currency, the country's parliamentary speaker, Richard Sulik, has said, amid frustration over the way the eurozone is handling the debt crisis.The time is ripe for Slovakia to stop blindly trust in what eurozone leaders say and prepare a plan B. This is the re-introduction of the Slovak koruna, Mr Sulik said in an opinion piece published in the bussiness daily Hospodarske noviny on Sunday (12 December).He added: As we are a country too small to significantly influence EU action, we must at least protect values created by the people living in Slovakia.Mr Sulik's views reflect a wider discontent with decisions that the eurozone has made since the Greek crisis erupted.The Slovak centre-right government has repeatedly called for private investors to feel the pain of any rescue operation under the eurozone umbrella. It considers the Greek bail-out a mistake that made European governments a hostage to financial markets.The parliamentary speaker said it is irresponsible for states to risk financial problems at home by taking on the liabilities of their debt-ridden colleagues under the European Financial Stability Facility, a temporary bail-out tool agreed in May and currently providing aid to Ireland.

He also critised the European central bank for its policy of purchasing EU states' bonds.Slovak Prime Minister Iveta Radicova and the country's finance minister Ivan Miklos were quick to react to Mr Sulik, who also leads a junior coalition party, The Freedom and Solidarity, and is known for co-designing the flat tax in Slovakia.In the long run, the euro's advantages for the Slovak economy outweight its disadvantages, a spokesperson for Ms Radicova is cited as saying by the daily SME (14 December): That is why we prefer fact-based solutions to extreme scenarios.According to the finance minister: One always needs to be ready for all options, but currently all must be done to strengthen the euro. The costs and consequences of a re-introduction of the koruna would be enormous, he indicated.

Some analysts have described Mr Sulik's comments as dangerous, saying they could influence investors who hold Slovak government bonds or are considering investing in the country.Bratislava needs to re-finance some €8 billion of its own debt next year and politicians who create uncertainty are playing with fire, the chief analyst of Volksbank Slovensko, Vladimir Vano, said.

Abandon hope for UN climate treaty, potential French president believes
ANDREW WILLIS 13.12.2010 @ 17:51 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Former French environment minister and potential presidential candidate Jean-Louis Borloo believes Europe is obsessed with legally-binding treaties as a result of its post-war history and its experience in gradually ceding sovereignty to Brussels - a hang-up that is unnecessarily affecting the UN climate negotiation process, a US diplomatic cable has revealed.The cable's release by WikiLeaks on Friday (10 December) came just hours before EU climate commissioner Connie Hedegaard said much more work was needed if a legally-binding deal on cutting carbon emissions was to be achieved next year, as Europe hopes for. But in a meeting with US ambassador to France Charles Rivkin on 11 February, Mr Borloo said the key to advancing climate negotiations is to drop the notion of a legally binding treaty in favour of a system of national commitments, according to the cable. He also argued that it would be up to a small group of eight or ten heads of state to negotiate implementation of the Copenhagen Accord, a controversial deal struck last December under which signatories agreed to voluntary emission cuts.

Those pledges were enshrined in a UN document for the fist time over the weekend in Cancun, Mexico, with Ms Hedegaard giving no indication that the EU plans to ditch its search for a more comprehensive deal in South Africa next year, despite considerable pessimism from analysts.Everyone needs to be aware that we still have a long and challenging journey ahead of us to reach the goal of a legally binding global climate framework, Ms Hedegaard said on Saturday after the talks drew to a close.The EU and some green NGOs have greeted the Cancun Agreement as a modest success while others have slammed the result, saying it is unfair to developing countries and could also put the planet on track to temperature increases of up to 5°C. Meanwhile, the pace of talks has alarmed almost everyone.At the February meeting, Mr Borloo argued that major emerging countries were not prepared to cede sovereignty to a treaty, while EU members saw this as both normal and essential, according to the cable.He added that in his belief, the UN climate negotiators did not have the ability to close a deal after years of talks.The release of the US diplomatic cable also comes just days before EU leaders are set to agree a further EU treaty chance in order to set up a permanent stability mechanism to aid struggling eurozone nations.Until recently, Mr Borloo was environment minister in the government of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but was unceremoniously dropped in a cabinet reshuffle in November.The centrist politician is now one of the names being tipped to potentially challenge Mr Sarkozy for the centre-right UMP nomination for presidential elections in the spring of 2012.

Berlin, Paris and Warsaw keen to beef up EU military muscle
ANDREW RETTMAN 13.12.2010 @ 17:48 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - France, Germany and Poland have urged EU foreign relations chief Catherine Ashton to personally take charge of plans to boost military co-operation between EU countries and between EU and Nato structures.The foreign ministers of the three countries in a rare joint letter to Ms Ashton dated 6 December and seen by this website said: The European Union has become a recognised and sought-after security actor. It will become more solicited, alone or in co-ordination with other actors such as the UN, Nato, the United States and emerging powers.Your personal involvement in this endeavour is the key, the ministers add, calling for bold decisions ... with you, Madam High Representative, in the lead.The letter proposes triggering the so-called Permanent Structured Co-operation clause in the Lisbon Treaty under which militarily-advanced EU states can create an avant-garde group on joint defence procurement and operational planning for other EU countries to get involved in down the line.The ministers ask Ms Ashton to look into the creation of a permanent EU civilian-military planning capability; explore ways of making EU battlegroups pack more punch in the field; explore possibilities for common funding of battlegroup needs, such as air-lift equipment; and stimulate research investment in the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base.

The three countries urge the British baroness to swiftly launch an in-depth discussion on the subject among EU ministers and to achieve concrete results under the Polish EU presidency in the second half of 2011.On the EU-Nato side, the letter says: There is ample room for improvement in our relations, regarding both in-theatre operational co-operation and ... in the area of capabilities. It names cyberdefence as a new area for joint work and says the US should more often be invited to take part in EU military missions.The defence plan is understood to have been first hatched during a private conversation between Poland's foreign minister, Radek Sikorski, and his former French counterpart, Bernard Kouchner, at Mr Sikorski's private ranch in Chobielin, Poland, in 2009.The inclusion of Germany, the biggest net contributor to the EU budget, gives the scheme extra weight and consumates Poland's ambition to join the club of major EU policy-makers - France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.The ministers' agenda fits with Nato's new Strategic Concept, adopted in Lisbon last month, which spoke of a post-Cold-War global conflict prevention mission for the alliance and highlighted cyber security as a new priority. The Nato summit equally bemoaned existing problems in EU-Nato co-operation.The Franco-German-Polish initiative also mirrors joint defence projects currently being rolled out at sub-EU level.France and the UK in November signed a defence pact covering joint nuclear weapons tests, while the UK, the five Nordic countries and the three Baltic States will in January hold a summit on defence and energy co-operation in the High North. The five Nordic countries will in April also debate a potential new defence pact, with proposals including a Nato-style one-for-all-and-all-for-one mutual defence obligation.

US cables expose clumsy Vatican diplomacy-St Peter's basilica in Rome: Most of the top ranks of the Vatican - all men, generally in their seventies - do not understand modern media the US said (Photo: flip.and.serena)ANDREW RETTMAN
13.12.2010 @ 11:32 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Freshly-published cables from the US mission to the Vatican have shed light on the inner workings of Europe's most secretive diplomatic corps, including the Pope's opposition to Turkey's EU membership, hopes for Polish influence inside the EU and church ideas on how to undermine the Castro administration in Cuba.The 15 cables published by WikiLeaks on Friday (10 December), covering the period from 2001 to 2010, highlight US belief in the Vatican's global clout.The Vatican is second only to the United States in the number of countries with which it enjoys diplomatic relations (188 and 177 respectively), and there are Catholic priests, nuns and lay people in every country on the planet. As the spiritual leader of 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide and enjoying respect as well from non-Catholics, the Pope wields an unparalleled moral megaphone, a 2009 US note ahead of President Barack Obama's meeting with the pontiff says. Private comments from Vatican officials to European diplomats also carry some weight - particularly in the traditionally Catholic countries, a 2006 cable says.The cables praise Pope Benedict XVI's broad support for the Middle East Peace Process and his handling of a tricky encounter with the Socialist Zapatero government in Spain in 2006. The pope's tack in Spain [on same-sex marriages] was milder than some expected, a 2006 US cable says. Benedict has used tact and persuasion rather than fire and brimstone in his battle against relativism and secularism.The rest of the material indicates that the Vatican has fumbled almost every diplomatic crisis in recent years, however.The cables note that in 2004 the church stood back while media depicted private remarks by the then Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, that Turkey should not join the EU as being sofficial Vatican policy.

In 2009, the church angered the international Jewish community by failing to denounce the holocaust-denying views of a renegade bishop and proposing to canonize Nazi-collaborator Pope Pius XII. The Pope welcomed him [Bishop Williamson] back into the Church, but they waited days to do so [speak out on the holocaust], and then did it weakly, a 2009 US cable says. Church officials did not expect the criticism and were annoyed by it, the cable adds on Pius XII.The same year, Pope Benedict XVI's announcement that disgruntled Anglican bishops should join the Roman Catholic church raised concerns in Washington. There is still latent anti-Catholicism in some parts of England and it may not take much to set it off. The outcome could be discrimination or in isolated cases, even violence, against this [Catholic] minority, a US diplomat remarked.The church in 2009 also caused a public furore in Ireland by complaining that a major sex-abuse inquiry violated Vatican sovereignty.The Nuncio in Ireland made things worse by simply ignoring the requests [to appear before national commissions], the related cable says.The US links the failures to Pope Benedict XVI's inner circle of septuagenerian advisors, who are out of touch with the modern world, do not speak English and act as Yes-men to the pontiff. Most of the top ranks of the Vatican - all men, generally in their seventies - do not understand modern media and new information technologies. The blackberry-using Father Lombardi remains an anomaly in a culture in which many officials do not even have official email accounts, another 2009 cable says.

Turkey: in or out?

The cables indicate that the Vatican is ambiguous about the prospect of Turkish EU entry.On one hand, Cardinal Ratzinger said in 2004 that Turkey had always been in permanent contrast to Europe and that linking it to Europe would be a mistake.Ratzinger has been a leading voice behind the Holy See's unsuccessful drive to secure a reference to Europe's Christian roots in the EU constitution, and he clearly understands that allowing a Muslim country into the EU would further weaken his case for Europe's Christian foundations, the 2004 cable adds.On the other hand, senior Vatican officials believe: Turkey could help to ease tensions between the Western and Muslim worlds, illustrating how a secular state with a Muslim population could co-operate with countries with a Judeo-Christian heritage. But a 2009 US cable says: The Vatican might prefer to see Turkey develop a special relationship short of membership with the EU.Meanwhile, the Vatican hopes that Poland will help it to steer EU policy-making on social issues.The Holy See's attention to Poland is not simply customer service or taking care of the troops. As was clear under Pope John Paul II, the Vatican has high hopes that Poland will serve as a counter-weight to Western European secularism,a 2006 US note says. Certainly the Holy See hopes that Poland will hold the line at the EU on life and family issues that arise.

Handling the Castro brothers

Not all of Pope Benedict XVI's lieutenants are as ignorant of communications issues as the 2009 cable on his inner circle suggests, however.In a 2010 cable, one Monsignor Nicolas Thevenin told Washington that the Vatican supports Spain's failed push to lift EU sanctions on Cuba. He ... implied a preference for the soft approach of Spain over that of Poland or the Czech Republic as being more conducive to a positive response from the Cubans,the US note says. Monsignor Thevenin also advised the US to lean on telecommunications companies to make sure that rates for Cubans to call the US would be very low. This, he thought, could have a positive impact in promoting political change.The Vatican in a statement released at the weekend tried to undermine the value of the WikiLeaks material.These reports reflect the perceptions and opinions of the people who wrote them and cannot be considered as expressions of the Holy See itself, nor as exact quotations of the words of its officials,it said. I am very proud to be described as a Yes-man, one of the Pope's top advisors, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, told Italian media.

24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise:(10 NATIONS) and another shall rise after them;(#11 SPAIN) and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.(BE HEAD OF 3 KINGS OR NATIONS).

Germany predicts EU political union in 10 years
ANDREW WILLIS 13.12.2010 @ 09:26 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has said his country is willing to discuss greater harmonisation of eurozone tax policy, adding that the next decade is likely to see Europe take significant steps towards closer political union.The remarks, made in Germany's mass-selling Bild am Sonntag newspaper on Sunday (12 December), come as EU leaders look set to agree a limited EU treaty change this week in order to set up a permanent crisis mechanism to provide financial support to struggling eurozone states.Germany has previously opposed calls for a fully-fledged fiscal union within the euro area, but this position appears to be softening. The basic decision was for fiscal and budgetary policy to be decided on the national level. If that is to be changed, then we can talk about it, Mr Schaeuble said in the high-profile Bild interview.In 10 years we will have a structure that corresponds much stronger to what one describes as political union, he added.Meeting in the German town of Freiburg on Friday, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel also said eurozone leaders must draw a fundamental lesson from the ongoing debt crisis and take steps towards political integration, including the harmonisation of tax policies or labour law.These initiatives would foster greater convergence of eurozone economies and show this is not just about currency issues but also about political co-operation, which has to be deepened, said Ms Merkel.Only days earlier, Luxembourgish Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker had brandished Berlin as un-European over its refusal to support the creation of a common eurozone bond, a move some experts say would help shore up stability in the currently-distressed currency club.Investors' doubts in the 16-member single currency economy have continued unabated this year, despite bail-outs for Greece and recently Ireland. Former UK prime minister Gordon Brown warned this month that the euro was headed for a day of reckoning early in the new year, a prediction seemingly backed up by new data from Italian bank UniCredit.

The bank calculates eurozone nations will have to refinance or repay €560 billion in debt next year, €45bn more than 2010 and the highest amount since the launch of the single currency in January 1999. The refinancing pressures could force other eurozone governments to call for support from the European bail-out fund, warn analysts.In May EU leaders agreed to establish the €440 billion European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), a triple-A rated institution based in Luxembourg which can issue bonds and lend to stricken eurozone states.Now EU leaders look set to agree a limited EU treaty chance this week in order to turn the temporary facility into a permanent rescue mechanism around the middle of 2013 when the EFSF expires.

Irish Europe minister Dick Roche revealed the expected wording of the treaty tweak to Irish MPs on Friday, insisting the new language would not require a referendum in Ireland.Member states whose currency is the euro may establish amongst themselves a stability mechanism to safeguard the stability of the euro area as a whole. The granting of financial assistance under the mechanism will be made subject to strict conditions, reads the simple two-sentence paragraph to be inserted into the EU rulebook, reported the Irish Times.Germany has successfully won its demand for the permanent mechanism to include the private sector sharing in future bail-out costs, reports the BBC. Such a decision could significant raise the borrowing costs of peripheral eurozone states, as investors demand extra yields to cover the costs of a potential debt restructuring under the new mechanism.At the same time, there are reports that changes are currently being considered to enable the temporary EFSF to buy sovereign bonds from distressed eurozone governments, a role currently being carried out by the European Central Bank via the secondary market.

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:

11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Indor: Stop Coddling Rock Throwing Terrorist Youths
by David Lev DEC 13,10

The allegations in a report by the leftist B'tselem organization released Monday about police abuses against Arab children who throw rocks at Israeli drivers dominated the Israeli media all morning. They may or may not be true, says Meir Indor, chairman of the Almagor terror victims' organization – but the report is irrelevant. The criteria they use relate to the rights of criminals, but Arab rock-throwing is not an individual crime – it's a nationalistic act of war, and must be treated as such.The B'tselem report claimed that Israeli police have been abusing the rights of Arab youths suspected of throwing rocks at Israeli drivers and passerby in several neighborhoods of Jerusalem, especially the City of David neighborhood (Silwan). The report claims that police forcefully invaded the homes of several suspects, rousing them from their beds, and prohibiting their parents from being present during their questioning as required by Israeli law. In addition, the report said that many of the youths had complained that police assaulted them as they were being arrested.We are certainly not for the abrogation of individual rights for criminals, Indor told Israel National News. But the rock throwing by Arab youths is far more than criminal – it's nothing less than an act of war. It's become all too common, and it's life threatening. Indor himself was injured by a large rock thrown at him by Arab youths on the Mt. Of Olives in October.Today, when one of these youths is arrested, he is legally permitted to basically sit in an interrogation room and make fun of police, Indor said. The youth is required by law to have his father present, so of course no headway is made in the interrogation. And besides, the youths have a whole array of liberal and leftist organizations, like B'tselem, at the ready to defend them, regardless of what they have done.

In that sense, said Indor, B'tselem is working against Israel's interests – and, rather than be permitted to continue harming Israel's security by defending terrorists, the organization should be brought up on charges of treason. “B'tselem has a huge budget, much of it supplied from abroad. Police know who these people are, but are powerless to stop them.We plan to introduce legislation that will change the law and reclassify these kinds of attacks as terror incidents, that will subject these youths to stiffer penalties, and especially to a different process, other than the normal one that applies to criminals, Indor said.In a society that suffers from terrorism as Israel does, we accept that it is reasonable for people to stand in line at the mall and be checked by a security agent. In the same way, it should be reasonable to expect that the individual rights of terrorists – no matter how young they are – be suspended to ensure the safety of society.(Israel National News.com)

Netanyahu: Ready to Discuss Any Substantive Issues
Reported: 01:46 AM - Dec/14/10

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the U.S. Middle East envoy, George Mitchell, met for about three hours on Monday. Following the meeting Netanyahu's office announced that the meeting was positive, thorough and businesslike. The two discussed ways to advance the diplomatic process.Netanyahu said during the meeting that is ready to discuss any substantive issues in the weeks and months ahead, in order to promote a common goal of peace and security in the region.

No Apology to Turkey, Says Netanyahu
by Chana Ya'ar DEC 13,10

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu reiterated at a Likud faction meeting on Monday that Israel would not apologize to Turkey over the deaths of nine terror activists aboard the Mavi Marmara flotilla vessel on May 31.Meanwhile, a Knesset committee of parliamentary faction leaders, headed by Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin, approved a motion to hold a full plenum hearing regarding Ankara’s demand.Netanyahu was responding to a question from MK Danny Danon (Likud) about media rumors that Israel would express regret over the incident in which the terror activists, eight of whom were Turkish nationals, attacked IDF commandos when they boarded the ship to guide it to the port of Ashdod.The Turkish-sponsored vessel was one of six in a flotilla that had attempted to break Israel’s maritime blockade of Gaza.Turkey’s Prime Minister Tayyip Recep Erdogan demanded after the incident that Israel apologize and compensate the families of the dead. In recent days, there were rumors the Jewish State was reconsidering its refusal to do so, and might also be willing to pay a sum in compensation to the families of the slain terror activists.It is inconceivable that the State of Israel will compensate terrorists who harmed navy commandos, said Danon. Such compensation is tantamount to surrendering to terror and will create the motivation for future attacks. I am certain the government’s answer to the motion will be that Israel has no intention of compensating these terrorists.

Netanyahu denied the rumors, but noted that the relationship with Turkey is important. The prime minister added, They must recognize the fact that we did not act out of malice, but in self-defense.Israeli and Turkish officials met a week ago in Geneva in an effort to find a way out of the diplomatic quagmire in which the two nations currently find themselves. Turkey sent two firefighting aircraft to assist the Jewish State in response to an appeal by Netanyahu to the international community for assistance when a wildfire struck the northern region more than a week ago, leaving 43 dead and ravaging some 12,500 acres of forest land.(Israel National News.com)

NEW BORDER VISION IS NEW NORTH AMERICAN UNION

DANIEL 7:23-24
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast(THE EU,REVIVED ROME) shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,(7TH WORLD EMPIRE) which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.(TRADE BLOCKS)
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise:(10 NATIONS) and another shall rise after them;(#11 SPAIN) and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.(BE HEAD OF 3 KINGS OR NATIONS).

Tories to announce deal forming North America perimeter Jason Kryk/Postmedia News-A soon-to-be-announced security and trade deal between Canada and the United States is designed, in part, to allow people and goods to flow more freely within the continent.John Ivison, National Post · Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2010

The Conservative government is set to announce a landmark security and trade deal with the United States, designed to create a perimeter around North America and allow people and goods to flow more freely across the border. Sources suggested that Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President Barack Obama will sign the broad-ranging agreement in Washington as early as next month.It’s big on ideals but maybe not so great on details, said one person familiar with the negotiations. But it does use the word perimeter many times...The question is, will it reduce the compliance burden at the Canada-U.S. border? The New Border Vision is being billed as a 21st century border management system that will include new common consumer product regulations, a pre-clearance agreement for goods crossing the border to expedite waiting times and the use of advanced technology to utilize biometric data for travelers at airports and land crossings, according to people familiar with the plan.The new framework will likely be discussed when the U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, visits Ottawa this Monday but government sources said the announcement will not be made by Ms. Clinton. A spokesman for the Public Safety Minister, Vic Toews, said: No such announcement is planned. We don’t comment on hearsay or speculation.A spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa refused to comment.Colin Robertson, a senior research fellow with the Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute, said the agreement is an attempt by the Canadian government to link security to improved access to the U.S. for Canadians.Perimeter is a vital word because back in the Chrétien government days we couldn’t use it because we would get caught up in the sovereignty allergy we too often have,” he said. It makes a lot of sense.

The U.S. announced a similar deal with Mexico in March. It included moves to expedite travel and commerce such as secure transit lanes for pre-cleared rail and truck shipments, as well as passenger pre-clearance for individuals. Business is likely to welcome a more coordinated perimeter approach to regulation and security but one exporter remained skeptical. A vision without money is a hallucination, he said.The U.S. and Canada have taken piecemeal steps to coordinate their efforts against common threats like terrorism. Last year, Canada signed on to the NEXUS membership card and Free and Secure Trade (FAST) trusted traveller programs as a valid means of identification at the border. However, more sweeping agreements have foundered in the past, notably the Security and Prosperity Partnership agreement signed in 2005 by former Prime Minister Paul Martin, ex-U.S. President George W. Bush and former Mexican President Vicente Fox.The SPP was aimed at reducing the cost of trade and improving the flow of people and information but became a lightning rod for criticism on both sides of the border. In the U.S., CNN anchor Lou Dobbs argued the SPP was part of a plan to merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a North American Union, while a number of organizations criticized the agreement for its secrecy.In Canada, NDP leader Jack Layton said the process was not just unconstitutional but non-constitutional because there were no oversight mechanisms. By 2009, all three governments had abandoned the SPP, which is no longer an active initiative, according to its website.Mr. Robertson said that increased integration could impact areas like immigration and refugee policy but was unlikely to lead to a European Union-style agreement. Economic union would mean a common currency and, over the last couple of years, it has been definitively proven that we are far better off with our own currency,he said.jivison@nationalpost.com Read more: http://www.nationalpost.com/news/Tories+announce+deal+forming+North+America+

United States-Mexico Partnership: A New Border Vision
Fact Sheet Office of the Spokesman Washington, DC March 23, 2010

Mexico and the United States have a shared interest in creating a 21st century border that promotes the security and prosperity of both countries. The U.S. and Mexican governments have launched a range of initiatives that challenge the traditional view of hold the line and are developing a framework for a new vision of 21st century border management. The new framework is based on the principles of joint border management, co-responsibility for cross-border crime, and shared commitment to the efficient flow of legal commerce and travel:

•Enhancing Public Safety – The protection of Mexican and U.S. citizens from the criminal organizations responsible for the traffic in people, drugs, arms, and money across our common land border is a key priority for both countries. In addition to the bilateral Merida Initiative programs currently underway, we must develop joint strategies for key smuggling and trafficking corridors along with regular sharing of information on investigations, prosecutions, and screening practices.

•Securing Flows – The central challenge in managing flows of people and goods is to separate high-risk travelers and cargo from low-risk ones. Tools that help prevent illegitimate trade and travel while expediting legitimate trade and travel include implementing complementary risk management strategies in both countries, establishing a bi-national model port to share information on goods and people, and improving trusted traveler and shipper programs. We must work together with the private sector to ensure that we achieve these goals.

•Expediting Legitimate Commerce and Travel – Each day, about a billion dollars of commerce and a million people cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Affirmative steps that accelerate the flow of people and goods through ports of entry enhance both countries’ economic competitiveness. Both countries need work with the private sector to encourage investment in the people, technology, and infrastructure that comprise a 21st century border. Secure transit lanes for pre-cleared rail and truck shipments as well as passenger pre-clearance programs are two tools that could make cross border trade and travel more efficient.

•Engaging Border Communities – Mexico is the number one or number two export destination of twenty-two U.S. states. Cross-border trade contributes enormously to the economic vitality of both countries, especially in the border region. Continuing to engage border communities, as well as state, local, and tribal governments in bi-national strategy development, law enforcement, and communications, is essential to collaborative border management.

•Setting Policy – Achieving rapid policy change requires an agile inter-agency process within each country as well as a means by which both governments can easily coordinate at a bi-national level. Both countries need to reinvigorate their policy-setting architecture to address the statutory, regulatory, systems, and infrastructure changes needed to realize our new vision of collaborative border management.

Saturday, December 11, 2010 Towards a North American Security Perimeter
By Dana Gabrielhttp://beyourownleader.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-border-vision-and-north-american_11.html

There are numerous reports circulating that Canada and the U.S. are secretly negotiating a security and trade deal which could be signed as early as January 2011. The proposed agreement would establish a security perimeter as a means to better secure North America and stimulate trade. The Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), along with other U.S.-Canada initiatives have allowed the two countries to incrementally move towards creating a common security perimeter. The idea of a Canada-U.S. security perimeter is not new. Various bilateral actions over the last number of years have further laid the groundwork for this concept to become a reality. In 2006, the renewal of NORAD added maritime warning missions to its existing duties, in an effort to address new and emerging continental threats. The U.S. and Canadian military signed the Civil Assistance Plan in 2008, which allows the armed forces of one nation to support the other during an emergency. Under the Shiprider program that became permanent in 2009, law enforcement officials from both countries are able to operate together in shared waterways to combat criminal activity. Other joint projects have also facilitated the move towards a common security perimeter. In July of this year, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews and U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced new cooperative initiatives to combat threats and expedite travel and trade. It appears as if some of SPP's security priorities have been incorporated into the proposed Canada-U.S. perimeter agreement.

CTV News has obtained a draft copy of the Canada-U.S. deal which reveals that both nations, intend to pursue a perimeter approach to security, working together within, at, and away from the borders of our two countries in a way that supports economic competitiveness, job creation and prosperity, and in a partnership to enhance our security and accelerate the legitimate flow of people and goods between our two countries. The proposed agreement covers shared border management issues, such as an integrated cargo security strategy, a joint approach to port and border security and screening, as well as cross-border sharing of information between law enforcement agencies. CTV also reported that according to, the Canada-U.S. deal dubbed Beyond the Border: A Shared Vision for Perimeter Security and Competitiveness, implementation would be handled by a newly created Beyond the Border Working Group. A common security perimeter could force Canada to harmonize its immigration and refugee policies with the U.S. which would further undermine its sovereignty. It might also allow the U.S. to execute control of Canada in the advent of a terrorist attack or any other perceived threat to North America.

The Council of Canadians who were instrumental in exposing the SPP, have criticized the notion of a continental security perimeter as being unnecessary and invasive. A Press Release acknowledged that, Since 2001, U.S. security demands of its two neighbours persistently intruded on the privacy and real security needs of the public. It went on to say, harmonization efforts have violated civil liberties while not improving trade flows between Canada and the United States in the slightest. Stuart Trew, trade campaigner with the Council of Canadians stated, We've gone down this road before -- it was called the Security and Prosperity Partnership -- and North Americans rejected it. He also added, Canada has armed and secured itself to the teeth to satisfy the U.S. but no new perimeter plan can bring the U.S. economy back to life. That's the real reason trade is down across the border.The Council of Canadians is, demanding the Harper government give parliament and the public a chance to see and debate the New Border Vision before Canada signs anything.The Conservatives plan could be a hard sell as there is already a growing opposition and this may prompt them to play the fear card.Canada is scheduled to host the North American Foreign Ministers Meeting on December 13. Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon explained how the gathering, is a key forum for identifying trilateral priorities and ways we can work together as partners in North America. He went on to say, It also represents an opportunity to engage in bilateral discussions with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Secretary of Foreign Affairs Patricia Espinosa. The trilateral meeting will address issues such as, the state of the economy and North American prosperity, international security, energy and climate change, the health and safety of citizens, and matters concerning the western hemisphere as a whole. The proposed Canada-U.S. security perimeter deal could also be on the agenda. In March, the U.S. and Mexico also announced similar plans for a New Border Vision.

At the recent G20 Summit held in South Korea, Mexican President Felipe Calderon met with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. According to the Embassy of Mexico in Canada website they, agreed on the importance of the next North America Leaders’ Summit, to be held in Canada at the beginning of year 2011. They underlined their shared will to promote regional cooperation in fields like competitiveness, security and environment, among others. Although there was no leaders summit this year, President Calderon did make separate trips to the U.S. and Canada to strengthen NAFTA ties. Other key elements of the SPP also continued under the radar through various bilateral initiatives and further advanced North American integration. It is being reported that the proposed Canada-U.S. trade and security agreement could be announced in January. A leaders summit in early 2011, could be used as an opportunity to unveil a continental security perimeter that includes both the northern and southern borders which in many ways would signify the coronation of the North American Union.
