Automatic GPS on your cellphone
Oct. 1, 2001 (8:50 am) By: admi
http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/automatic-gps-on-your-cellphone-2001101/
Sprint is offering the U.S.'s first cellphone equipped for GPS-enhanced services today, making it the only company to meet the FCC's mobile phone location detection deadline–and only partially at that. Sprint will sell the Samsung SPH-N300 phone for US$149.99 (though it's not on the Sprint phones Web page yet), and it comes with the GPS (Global Positioning System) location functionality mandated by the Federal Communications Commission.Because cellphone calls to 911 (estimated at around 140,000 per year) do not give the 911 operator location information, the FCC mandated that wireless companies be able to locate 67 percent of callers to 911 within 50 meters that elect the handset solution while those using network technology must be able to locate the caller within 100 meters. Wireless companies must also have one-quarter of the new cellphones they offer equipped to provide that location information by the end of the year, and all new cellphones so equipped by the end of next year.
Verizon, Cingular, AT&T, and other major carriers all requested delays and have nothing to offer at this point–the FCC will review those requests in the next few days. Sprint also filed a delay request because it is only offering the location service in Rhode Island, and not until next month. Sprint confidently predicts its lead in GPS-enhanced services will be maintained, however, and plans to roll the service out to other locations soon, along with location-based commercial services for cellphone customers, like driving directions, traffic services and entertainment information.For more information, please see the Reuters item. You can also check out the SAM'S OPINION
While I understand the FCC's decision to require automatic location information for 911 calls, I am not happy about wireless carriers and the government being able to pinpoint me whenever I use my cellphone. I guess it's possible that the automatic GPS feed could be blocked when you're not calling 911, but I would be very surprised if that's going to be the case. Basically, we're just going to have to trust our wireless carriers not to watch where we're making calls from. Here's a related news item from August warning of the slippery slope from having that information available for emergency purposes to constant location monitoring every time you use the phone. Yes, the obvious answer is that if you're worried about the privacy infringement you should just do without the cellphone's convenience, but I guess that's not a good enough answer for me–I want to be able to enjoy technology's benefits without having to worry about another piece of my life being recorded on a mainframe somewhere. Ah, the burdens of modernity. In the long run, I guess most people won't let the tracking capabilities bother them (as I won't if I really want a cellphone), but it's important to be aware of them.As for the fact that none of the major wireless carriers are ready for this FCC mandate (Sprint's compliance is only minimal, and it's weird that the phone still isn't showing up on the website, nor at Samsung Electronics' site), I have a feeling there won't be any penalties imposed. If it were just one or two companies that weren't ready it would be a different story, but the fact that none of the big folks had the phones or the infrastructure in place means that the October 1 deadline was unrealistic, whether that's because the phonemakers couldn't get the right chips or whether the big companies didn't take the deadline seriously.
Researcher: iPhone Location Data Already Used By Cops BLOOMBERG BUSINESS-The news that iPhones and iPads keep track of where you go has been known in forensic circles for some time By Bobbie Johnson APR 25,11
When British programmers Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden took the stage at the Where 2.0 conference to unveil their work on iPhone location tracking, it was clear they had some big news on their hands. The duo outlined what they called the discovery that your iPhone and 3G iPad [are] regularly recording the position of your device into a hidden file.Their findings started a firestorm of media coverage.But as the details came to light, one researcher was left scratching his head—because he'd already made the same discovery last year.Alex Levinson, 21, works at the Rochester Institute of Technology in western New York, and he has been studying forensic computing and working with Katana Forensics, which makes tools for interrogating iOS devices.In a post on his blog, he explains that the existence of the location database—which tracks the cellphone towers your phone has connected to—has been public in security circles for some time.While it's not widely known, that's not the same as not being known at all.In fact, he has written and presented several papers on the subject and even contributed a chapter on the location data in a book that covers forensic analysis of the iPhone.(One blogger reviewing the book in January mentioned the cell-tower data and says, more and more you realize how much information Apple's mobile devices could contain and how valuable this could be for your investigation.)
Ignoring the Obvious
In his post, Levinson takes issue with the claim of discovery.In fact, he told me by e-mail that Allan and Warden had apparently missed a whole area of existing research conducted by forensic analysts.It was a shock to me when this came out labeled as a discovery,he explains. I watched the video, and they don't appear to be interested in the forensic side of this, which is honestly where the research lies.Part of it seems to be a failure of researchers across different disciplines to plug into each others' work. As Levinson put it, They basically built a bridge without turning to the civil engineers—I'm not the only one familiar with this stuff.Bad communication among researchers, however, isn't the only culprit. Levinson adds that the press missed the story first time around and now seems more focused on the horror of data storage than the reality (for example, there's no evidence, at least at the moment, that the data are sent back to Apple).I do blame the press somewhat for sensationalizing [this] without recourse, he says.I e-mailed 20 of the top media outlets [that] covered this, linking them to my side—none of them replied, except a famous blogger who cursed me.Sometimes this is the case with research, and just because it's not new to you, doesn't mean it's not news. Sometimes the people credited with breakthroughs are the ones who have been able to communicate their ideas to the right people. And clearly Allan and Warden's presentation is having a lot of impact, not least because they have released the tools to make the data obvious to users.
Just an Internal Log?
The truth is, there may be more important things to consider than the issue of who discovered what. Levinson's revelations are more important than that, because he explains that the location data are already being put to use. In his blog post he says (my emphasis):This hidden file is nether new nor secret. It's just moved. Location services have been available to the Apple device for some time. Understand what this file is—log generated by the various radios and sensors located within the device. This file is utilized by several operations on the device that actually are what make this device pretty smart.Through my work with various law enforcement agencies, we've used h-cells.plist on devices older than iOS 4 to harvest geolocational evidence from iOS devices.That's very interesting. It's not that people in some circles already knew about the location data; in fact, the data are actively being used by law enforcement agencies as part of their investigations. Levinson declined to divulge the names of those agencies but told me he had worked with multiple state and federal agencies both in the U.S. and internationally.So when Allan and Warden say, Don't panic … there's no immediate harm that would seem to come from the availability of this data,you have to ask whether that's the case. No court orders are needed to track your location history via an iPhone, since the devices are relatively open. All the investigator needs is the device itself.
Investigation: Government Ordered Cellphone Companies to Spy on Users
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones Infowars April 25, 2011
The controversy generated as a result of computer researchers discovering a hidden file that allows Apple to track the location of iPhone and iPad users has been treated as a shocking revelation by the media, and yet since October 2001, the FCC has mandated that all wireless carriers track the location of their users down to within 50 feet.Stunned iPhone and iPad owners have only just found out that all of their movements are tracked and stored in a hidden iOS file which gets synced to their PC every time they connect the phone, reports Gadgets and Gizmos. The name of the file is Consolidated.db and it uses the Apple devices’ GPS function to record your location and the time you were there.The secret file was found by computer experts and made public at the recent Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco.The Wall Street Journal expanded on the revelations surrounding Apple on Friday by reporting that Google’s Android smart phones also, Regularly transmit their locations back to…Google, according to data and documents analyzed by The Wall Street Journal—intensifying concerns over privacy and the widening trade in personal data.
Technology writers are seemingly baffled as to why top smart phone producers like Apple and Google are tracking the movements of their users, while lawmakers have also begun asking questions of Apple CEO Steve Jobs.A bizarre initial reaction to the story from some quarters of the media and industry centered around the suggestion that the hidden file was actually a bug which Apple should be looking to fix,a theory dismissed almost instantly after it was confirmed other smart phone manufacturers were also tracking their users and that such efforts were clearly intentional, as the database is being restored across backups, and even device migrations.Indeed, as much as a year ago Apple admitted to the fact that it intermittently collects location data, including GPS coordinates, of many iPhone users and nearby Wi-Fi networks and transmits that data to itself every 12 hours, according to a letter the company sent to U.S. Reps. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and Joe Barton (R-Texas),reports the WSJ.Google’s HTC Android phones collect location data every few minutes and transmit that information directly to Google several times an hour, including the unique phone identifier, meaning that Google can keep tabs on the movement of a known individual almost constantly. Since people now ubiquitously carry their cellphones everywhere they go, this is akin to having a tracking microchip implanted in your forehead.However, far from being a recent phenomenon, as the media would have us believe, tracking of individuals via their cellphones has been going on for almost ten years at least.Under the 1996 Telecommunications Act, the FCC mandated that by October 1, 2001 a quarter of all new cellphones be equipped with GPS functionality that would allow authorities to track the location of users. By the end of 2002, this became a mandatory requirement of all new cellphones.
As Geek.com reported back in October 2001, Because cellphone calls to 911 (estimated at around 140,000 per year) do not give the 911 operator location information, the FCC mandated that wireless companies be able to locate 67 percent of callers to 911 within 50 meters that elect the handset solution while those using network technology must be able to locate the caller within 100 meters.Wireless companies must also have one-quarter of the new cellphones they offer equipped to provide that location information by the end of the year, and all new cellphones so equipped by the end of next year.As a PC World article written in August 2001, two months before the first phase of the new FCC rules were enacted, asked, The FCC requires cell phone companies to track you, in order to find you when you call 911–but what about your privacy? Cell phone tracking was propelled by the Federal Communications Commission, which adopted enhanced 911 rules to cover wireless services. For E911′s first phase, cellular carriers must be able to pinpoint, to the nearest cell tower, the location of someone calling 911. For Phase II, carriers must be able to pinpoint a 911 caller’s location to within 50 to 300 meters,states the article.Your cellphone has been tracking you in real time for the lion’s share of the last decade, so why has it taken the media nearly 10 years to notice? Because in 2001, when such measures could have been made illegal, there was no iPhone, there was no app store, and the smart phones being used were extremely crude compared to today’s models, which are no less than mini-laptops.In 2001, cellphones did little else than make calls and send text messages – these services didn’t require GPS technology. People weren’t addicted to their cellphones like they are today, they didn’t use them to catalogue, record and process every aspect of their existence.The likes of Apple have worked hard over the last decade to make hundreds of millions of people dependent on their gadgets, creating an army of addicts who couldn’t care less that their cellphone is transmitting their every move directly to Steve Jobs. In their eyes, the choice between sacrificing their privacy and sacrificing their precious apps is an easy one to make. Privacy can’t book a table at a restaurant in a few taps of a finger, nor can it tell you the weather forecast or where the nearest ATM is located.If the debate had been allowed to run its course in 2001, when cellphone tracking was first being adopted, the outcome may have been different. But since cellphone companies have been tracking their users for the best part of a decade, in line with government mandates, the recent controversy is merely part of the acclimatization process to achieve calm subservience and acceptance of the fact that true privacy is dead, and as Henry Blodget explains, Apple’s omnipresent brainwashing campaign has helped keep the outrage to a minimum.
IT’S OFFICIAL: Apple Has Brainwashed The Whole Country — How Else To Explain The Lack Of Outrage Over Apple’s Secret Location Tracking? Henry Blodget
Business Insider April 23, 2011
Your iPhone has been secretly tracking and recording everywhere you go for the past several years.Read that again.Your iPhone has been secretly tracking and recording everywhere you go for the past several years.That’s right. Apple built this feature into your iPhone and hid it from you. By doing so, Apple made it possible for anyone who gets ahold of your iPhone or Mac (or any other device synced with either) to figure out exactly where you were when.That is absolutely outrageous.If any other company had done this, America’s privacy zealots would be demanding the CEO’s resignation. There would be threats. There would be lawsuits. There would, at the very least, be incessant demands for the company to acknowledge the behavior, explain it, and apologize for it.And yet, because the company is Apple, there have been none of those things.
Instead, Apple fans like John Gruber have suggested that the secret feature is a bug.And there have been mainstream media stories suggesting that it must be some kind of mistake.Bug? Mistake? Apple built a system into your iPhone that secretly tracks and records everywhere you go. This system records your exact location and the exact time you were there–down to the second.Anyone who gets ahold of your phone or computer can tell exactly where you were when: Police, people suing you, your husband/wife, your employer, private investigators, the government–anyone. And Apple didn’t tell you that! Please explain, with a straight face, how that could possibly be a bug or mistake.And let’s say hypothetically that it actually was a mistake. That Apple didn’t mean to build that system that tracks and records everywhere you go and then keep it a secret. Let’s say, hypothetically, that it was some rogue Apple engineer who built that system into iOS without telling his or her superiors and that Apple has only recently discovered it.Well, then, Apple should already have come forward, apologized profusely, explained that the engineer has now been summarily dismissed, and offered a software update that eliminates the tracking system forever.Has Apple done that? Heck no! Apple hasn’t even acknowledged the problem, let alone apologize for it or do something about it.This alone should make clear to everyone that it wasn’t a mistake.Again: Your Apple iPhone has been secretly tracking and recording everywhere you go for the past several years.If that news doesn’t outrage you and make you furious at Apple–both for doing it in the first place and then for not acknowledging that they’re doing it and explaining why–there’s only one explanation for why it doesn’t.Apple has so mesmerized you that you live in the reality distortion field.
Apple: We must have comprehensive user location data on April 23, 2011 5:35 PM EDT
Security researchers unveiled this week that Apple's iPhone was actively logging the whereabouts of users, storing location data into an easily assessible file on the device.Customers queue up outside the new Apple Store at Pudong Lujiazui in Shanghai July 10, 2010. Security researchers unveiled this week that Apple's iPhone was actively logging the whereabouts of users, storing location data into an easily assessable file on the device. But it's not just iPhone's that are keeping track of their users.But it's not just iPhones that are keeping track of their users.
Apple's iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, the iPhone 4, and iPad models are also keeping track of consumers whereabouts. Mac computers running Snow Leopard and even Windows computers running Safari 5 are being watched.
The question is why?
The company has remained silent after researchers Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden revealed this Wednesday that the iPhone was storing logs of users' geographic coordinates in a hidden file. We're not sure why Apple is gathering this data, but it's clearly intentional, as the database is being restored across backups, and even device migrations,the security experts wrote in their blogs.While Apple has since remained tight-lipped on the matter, not responding to any media-inquires, another privacy snafu last year gives insight into what the company is doing with the information.In June 2010, Congressmen Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., and Joe Barton, R-Texas wrote a letter to Apple CEO Steve Jobs inquiring about Apple's privacy policy and location-based services.In response the company's general counsel Bruce Sewall wrote a letter explaining its practice, and shedding light on the rationale the company uses to monitor users.To provide the high quality products and services that its customers demand, Apple must have access to the comprehensive location-based information,Sewall told Congress in the letter.After emphasizing Apple's commitment to users' privacy, Sewall said that to provide these location-based services, Apple, its partners and licensees, may collect, use and share customers' precise location data, including GPS information, nearby cell towers and neighboring Wi-Fi networks.
While the security researchers Allan and Warden did not confirm whether the devices were actively sending data back to Apple, Sewall said that it was within Apple's right to do so.By using any location-based services on your iPhone, you agree and consent to Apple's and its partners' and licensees' transmission, collection, maintenance, processing and use of your location data to provide such products and services,Sewall's letter reads, citing Apple's End User Agreement.But he added that the information is collected anonymously and the devices give users controls for disabling the features.In addition to giving Apple customers the ability to turn off all location features with one on/off toggle switch, Apple requires applications to get explicit customer approval when it asks for location information for the first time.Apple also stores the location information in a database only accessibly to Apple, the letter says. This may be the case for data sent to Apple, but Allan and Warden were able to create a program that accessed and mapped user locations from un-encrypted data on the iPhones they examined.But though Apple says that its location data practices support the services its customers want, analysts and activists say the practice still raises serious questions.Read more: http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/137432/20110423/apple-we-must-have-comprehensive-user-location-data-on-you.htm#ixzz1KYcdwGoI
Will Big Brother Track You by Cell Phone? The FCC requires cell phone companies to track you, in order to find you when you call 911--but what about your privacy? By Cameron Crouch, PCW Aug 2, 2001 4:00 am
Your next cell phone may be able to tell your mobile carrier--and possibly others--exactly where you are and where you've been. Starting in October, new cell phones will contain Global Positioning System units for use with location services offering emergency help, traffic and shopping aids, and more. But the questions of what such services do with the data they gather on you and who can access it raise a host of privacy concerns that are far from resolved.
You Are Here
Cell phone tracking was propelled by the Federal Communications Commission, which adopted enhanced 911 rules to cover wireless services. For E911's first phase, cellular carriers must be able to pinpoint, to the nearest cell tower, the location of someone calling 911. For Phase II, carriers must be able to pinpoint a 911 caller's location to within 50 to 300 meters.FCC requirements mandate that the first phones equipped with Phase II capabilities appear this October; nearly all cell phones are supposed to comply by 2005. Thus far, Sprint PCS is the only major carrier that claims to be on schedule to ship some location-enabled phones this fall.Naturally, vendors want to take advantage of the mandated location features to offer you something beyond emergency help--and more targeted than the info on nearby ATMs and movies you can already get. All major carriers have plans, but none have released specifics. As a result, various issues--costs, exactly how the services will work, and whether your location will be broadcast the moment you turn your phone on (a battery drain) or only on request--remain unresolved.
Advertisers are eager to use location services to alert you when you pass near a store that might be of interest. Such services are likely in some form, but carriers are proceeding cautiously. They're aware you may not want to see ads for McDonalds every time you pass by the golden arches. Carriers don't want to annoy users because it's so easy to switch providers, says Allen Nogee, a senior analyst at Cahners In-Stat Group.The GPS units required for location services should add less than $50 to phone costs according to Cahners In-Stat. Carriers may cover costs or pass them on as part of fee-based service plans. You'll probably have to buy a new phone to get the services, but companies such as Airbiquity are designing batteries containing built-in GPS units you could add to certain existing phones.
Eye On You
As cell phones with tracking abilities come to market, myriad privacy concerns loom.
For example, should government agencies, including law enforcement, have unfettered access to your GPS data? If your provider--or any third-party company it contracts with--stores your location info, government agents could access it fairly easily.
Also, will you soon have to contend with mega-marketing databases that keep tabs on where and how often you shop, and with cell phone spam? Letting consumers opt out is one answer to these concerns. The Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999 states that without express prior authorization, a user shall not be considered to have approved access to location information from commercial mobile services. A bill now in a House of Representatives subcommittee would go further, explicitly requiring customer consent to the provision of wireless call location information. A similar new bill in the Senate would require providers to notify users when the service tracks them, and prohibit providers from disclosing or selling data without getting customer consent.The Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association, which represents handset makers and carriers, has also acted. It petitioned the FCC to set up common rules for carriers governing how to notify users and obtain consent for location services, as well as to establish privacy and security standards for user data. CTIA also asked the FCC to allow a safe harbor for those following FCC rules.Carriers have an economic incentive to protect your privacy, but location technology providers that some carriers use may not, Nogee warns.As services roll out, both consumers and providers will start working through these thorny issues. Still to be determined: whether users bite and are willing to pay at all.

THOUSANDS PROTEST JAPAN NUCLEAR POWER
SILVER IS AT $48.27 AS OF 9:35AM APR 25,11.AND IF MAX KEISER IS CORRECT SILVER IS AT THE BREAKING POINT TO BANKRUPT J P MORGAN.WE WILL SEE IF JP MORGAN IS IN THE NEWS FOR HAVING BIG TROUBLE WITH COVERING THE PAPER SILVER WITH ACTUAL SILVER TODAY.
Want JP Morgan to crash? Buy silver-The campaign to buy silver and force JP Morgan into bankruptcy could work, because of the liabilities accrued by its short-selling Max Keiser guardian.co.uk, Thursday 2 December 2010 12.30 GMT
For decades, the world's banking system has been on a fiat currency standard that has led to banks that are too big to fail. They have overreached their remit of providing loans and have leeched into the political system, using our money to change the political agenda in ways that boost bank management's compensation over the interests of their depositors.Deborah Hargreaves on how Eric Cantona's bank protest would hurt us all Over the past 11 years, the Gata (Gold Anti-Trust Action) committee has worked to reveal the silver/gold price suppression scheme; thanks to whistleblower Andrew Maguire in London, an investigation has been opened. As part of the ongoing exposé, it has now become clear that JP Morgan is sitting on what is estimated to be 3.3bn ounce short position in silver (which they have sold short, meaning they don't own it to begin with) in an attempt to keep the price artificially low in order to keep the relative appeal of the dollar and other fiat currencies high. The potential liability for JP Morgan has been an open secret for a few years.On my show, Keiser Report, I recently invited Michael Krieger, a regular contributor of Zero Hedge (the WikiLeaks of finance). We posited that if 5% of the world's population each bought a one-ounce coin of silver, JP Morgan would be forced to cover their shorts – an estimated $1.5tn liability – against their market capital of $150bn, and the company would therefore go bankrupt. A few days later, I suggested on the Alex Jones show that he launch a Google bomb with the key phrase crash jp morgan buy silver.
Within a couple of hours, it went viral and hundreds of videos have been made to support the campaign.Right now, silver eagle sales for the month of November hit an all-time record high and the availability of silver on a wholesale level is drying up. The most important indicator is the price itself – holding just under a 30-year high. With each uptick JP Morgan gets closer to going bust or requiring a bailout.
Here's how the campaign works: wealth tied to a fiat currency is easily overwhelmed by wealth tied to silver and gold. And the world is waking up to the fact that they have the ability, without government assistance or other interference, to create a new precious metals-based backed currency system by simply converting their fiat paper into real money.This campaign has 100% chance of working; it falls into the category of a self-fulfilling prophecy. As more individuals buy silver and gold, all attempts to replenish the system with more paper money will only cause the purchasing power of the silver and gold to increase – thus prompting more people to buy more. Any attempts to bail out JP Morgan would have the same effect. If the US Fed was to flood the system with bailout money for JP Morgan to cover their silver short position (as they did after the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management), more inflation will ensue and the price of silver and gold will rise more, triggering more purchases. A virtuous circle is born.If anyone is interested in helping to crash JP Morgan, buy silver. In the end, it's about transferring wealth back to the people from where it came.
London Source - Asian Buyers Will Take Silver Over $100
KWN’s London source has updated King World News on the massive Asian buyers which have been accumulating gold and silver. The London source stated, $3 to $4 dollar days in silver will become common, from now on $2 days will be considered slow. There will be a great deal of volatility going forward, but more often than not silver will close near the highs.April 25, 2011.The London Source continues:Right now the silver shorts are being flushed out in Asian trading on light volume and we have options expiration ahead of us. 38,000 silver contracts are in the money and the question is how many will ask for delivery? As I mentioned to you previously, the Asians have also been taking delivery of silver out of SLV and will continue to do so. You have to understand that these Asian buyers are planning to take delivery of all of the available phyiscal silver they can get their hands on and will continue doing so for the foreseeable future.When asked at what price the Chinese will stop buying silver the London source replied, The Chinese want out of dollars and they will continue aggressively purchasing both gold and silver in order to diversify. They don’t care whether silver is $50, $60 or $100, they will just continue accumulating. The Chinese may be patient buyers, accumulating on weakness, but you can bet that their relentless purchases of physical silver will eventually push the price well over $100 an ounce.As Dan Norcini and I discussed this weekend on the KWN Weekly Metals Wrap, the Asians are steering the bus in the silver market as the paper shorts lost control some time ago.Eric King-KingWorldNews.com
Will governments confiscate gold?
2011-APR-24
As concerns mount that there is another financial crisis in the offing and the gold price rises, American investors worry increasingly about whether the US government will confiscate their gold. The precedent was set by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who in 1933 forced all of America’s gold owners to sell their bullion to the Federal government at the official price.However, the situation today is very different from that of 78 years ago. At that time, gold was the primary currency, the dollar being tied to it at $20.67 per ounce. But today, the Fed and European central banks strongly deny that gold has any monetary role at all, and argue instead that it’s just a hangover from the past: that barbarous relic as Keynes called it. Its confiscation would be an embarrassing admission that gold, after all, is money.Nevertheless, as paper currencies continue to lose credibility, the temptation for any government to seize its citizens’ gold to enhance official holdings must be growing. Americans today, however, are unlikely to meekly accept confiscation the way they did under Roosevelt. And nowadays, you may be American, but your gold is not necessarily held at an American bank: it is just as likely to be in London, Zurich or Hong Kong.
The wording of a compulsory order is all-important. Confiscation requires the gold itself to be surrendered, which presumably would be the objective if a government is to add to official holdings. If gold ownership is merely banned, it is a different matter. A bullion bank holding gold in an unallocated account would almost certainly be unable to deliver physical gold if required to do so by the American government, but it would be able to close out the account for cash. And there is the thorny question of derivatives, which hardly existed in the 1930s. All futures and options trading would cease, and contracts for forward delivery would be cancelled, possibly with serious financial consequences.The international nature of gold would probably require all G10 or even G20 members to agree to similar actions against their own citizens. It seems unlikely that all governments would agree to this, unless they all had their backs hard against the wall. Switzerland, an associate member of the G10, would almost certainly face a referendum and be unable to comply. The G20 also includes China, India, Saudi Arabia and Russia. It is extremely unlikely that these countries will be prepared to confiscate their citizens’ gold to appease the Americans.Just the mention of these names alerts us to the dangers of a confiscatory move by the US. It would make the Chinese and Indian middle classes instantly wealthier than the average American, measured by gold ownership – an interesting thought when paper currencies are losing credibility. On balance, a repeat of the Roosevelt confiscation seems unlikely. But there is one thing we can be certain of, and that is that the risk of silver confiscation is more remote, so perhaps that is the safer metal to own.Author: Alasdair Macleod.
Don't Like a Weak Dollar? Might as Well Get Used to It
Published: Thursday, 21 Apr 2011 | 2:26 PM ET Text Size By: Jeff Cox
CNBC.com Staff Writer
Weakness in the US dollar, which is causing everything to go up—including gas prices, food and stocks—is unlikely to go away soon as a selling frenzy hits the currency market.The greenback is approaching pre-financial crisis lows and threatening to smash through its all-time low when measured against the world's predominant national currencies.A combination of factors accounts for the weakness, with the Federal Reserve's easy-money policies, huge national debts and deficits and the consequential possibility of a debt downgrade because of the financial mess in Washington leading the way.In short, as trader Dennis Gartman noted Thursday,the rout of the US dollar is in full effect.Panic dollar selling is setting in, Gartman, a hedge fund manager and author of The Gartman Letter, wrote in his daily commentary. This may carry farther than any of us dream of or, worse, have nightmares of.
How low can it go?
Rick Bensignor, chief market strategist at Dahlman Rose in New York, said the dollar index [.DXY 74.02 -0.09 (-0.12%) ], which measures the greenback against a basket of select other global currencies, has scant technical support that has any meaning between its present level and the historical low of 70.70.That's a widely shared view, even as currency pros wonder how the dollar could be falling against the euro considering the near certainty of sovereign debt defaults in smaller European Union nations.Gartman described the dollar as being in serious jeopardy because of its status against the euro, which was defended recently as European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet announced a rate hike in the zone.No such defense is being offered in the US, where neither Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke nor most of the rest of the central bank's Open Market Committee seems much in the mood to raise rates despite the anemic dollar. Though the Fed is ostensibly apolitical, there is no pressure as well from the Obama administration to boost the dollar's value.If things were to somehow go into freefall or there were disorderly markets, or if it is associated with a rise in interest rates, there could be some concerns there,said Josh Feinman, chief global economist at Deutsche Bank Advisors.But that's not happening at all. Rates in the US are still very, very low. At the margin, (a weak dollar) is a slight easing in financial conditions.
Weak Dollar = $6 Gas? Greenback Still FallingHow to Trade a Weakening Dollar
That, of course, is not the case for consumers buying food and energy. Some economists believe that a weak dollar is contributing heavily to the surge in prices at the pump, with one speculating that gas could reach $6 a gallon or beyond by summertime, given certain conditions.Food prices also are on a steady climb higher. In both cases, a weak dollar is at least somewhat to blame as it drives commodities, which are priced in dollars and therefore cheaper and more attractive to speculators in the global marketplace.But the stock market has enjoyed the weak dollar.The Standard & Poor's 500 [.SPX 1335.89 -1.49 (-0.11%) ] and the dollar have had almost a perfectly inverse relationship this year, with the stock index gaining just over 6 percent in 2011 and the dollar losing 6.5 percent.At the margins it helps US exporters, and the US importers probably also increase profits as they're repatriated,said David Resler, chief economist at Nomura Securities in New York. I don't see the dollar as having a significant intermediate-run effect on the performance of the economy.With Wall Street shaking off the dangers of a possible downgrade from S&P, the market is likely to prevail against any thought that it's time to start enacting policies that defend the currency.The only thing on the horizon that appears to be dollar-friendly is the end of the second leg of the Fed's quantitative easing program—or QE2—in June.Even then, the central bank is likely only to stop its $600 Treasury-buying operations. There are no indications that the Fed will be selling back into the marketplace any of the securities it has purchased, so a rise in rates is unlikely until inflation becomes more widespread and indicated through government economic metrics.That's probably just a warm-up for a QE 3 program later on. All these things are undermining the fundamentals for the dollar,said Sean Hyman, currency director for World Currency Watch.It doesn't help anything that commodities keep going through the roof. There are a few dynamics working in a concerted effort all at once, and that's killing it.

IMF bombshell: Age of America nears end
BOSTON (MarketWatch) — The International Monetary Fund has just dropped a bombshell, and nobody noticed.For the first time, the international organization has set a date for the moment when the Age of America will end and the U.S. economy will be overtaken by that of China.The Obama deficit tourThe Wall Street Journal editorial page’s Steve Moore critiques the president's speeches attacking Republican budget plans.And it’s a lot closer than you may think.According to the latest IMF official forecasts, China’s economy will surpass that of America in real terms in 2016 — just five years from now.Put that in your calendar.
It provides a painful context for the budget wrangling taking place in Washington, D.C., right now. It raises enormous questions about what the international security system is going to look like in just a handful of years. And it casts a deepening cloud over both the U.S. dollar and the giant Treasury market, which have been propped up for decades by their privileged status as the liabilities of the world’s hegemonic power.According to the IMF forecast, whomever is elected U.S. president next year — Obama? Mitt Romney? Donald Trump? — will be the last to preside over the world’s largest economy.Most people aren’t prepared for this. They aren’t even aware it’s that close. Listen to experts of various stripes, and they will tell you this moment is decades away. The most bearish will put the figure in the mid-2020s. China’s economy will be the world’s largest within five years or so.But they’re miscounting. They’re only comparing the gross domestic products of the two countries using current exchange rates.That’s a largely meaningless comparison in real terms. Exchange rates change quickly. And China’s exchange rates are phony. China artificially undervalues its currency, the renminbi, through massive intervention in the markets.
The comparison that really matters
The IMF in its analysis looks beyond exchange rates to the true, real terms picture of the economies using purchasing power parities.That compares what people earn and spend in real terms in their domestic economies.Under PPP, the Chinese economy will expand from $11.2 trillion this year to $19 trillion in 2016. Meanwhile the size of the U.S. economy will rise from $15.2 trillion to $18.8 trillion. That would take America’s share of the world output down to 17.7%, the lowest in modern times. China’s would reach 18%, and rising.Just 10 years ago, the U.S. economy was three times the size of China’s.Naturally, all forecasts are fallible. Time and chance happen to them all. The actual date when China surpasses the U.S. might come even earlier than the IMF predicts, or somewhat later. If the great Chinese juggernaut blows a tire, as a growing number fear it might, it could even delay things by several years. But the outcome is scarcely in doubt.
This is more than a statistical story. It is the end of the Age of America. As a bond strategist in Europe told me two weeks ago, We are witnessing the end of America’s economic hegemony.We have lived in a world dominated by the U.S. for so long that there is no longer anyone alive who remembers anything else. America overtook Great Britain as the world’s leading economic power in the 1890s and never looked back.And both those countries live under very similar rules of constitutional government, respect for civil liberties and the rights of property. China has none of those. The Age of China will feel very different.Victor Cha, senior adviser on Asian affairs at Washington’s Center for Strategic and International Studies, told me China’s neighbors in Asia are already waking up to the dangers.The region is overwhelmingly looking to the U.S. in a way that it hasn’t done in the past,he said. They see the U.S. as a counterweight to China. They also see American hegemony over the last half-century as fairly benign. In China they see the rise of an economic power that is not benevolent, that can be predatory. They don’t see it as a benign hegemony.The rise of China, and the relative decline of America, is the biggest story of our time. You can see its implications everywhere, from shuttered factories in the Midwest to soaring costs of oil and other commodities. Last fall, when I attended a conference in London about agricultural investment, I was struck by the number of people there who told stories about Chinese interests snapping up farmland and foodstuff supplies — from South America to China and elsewhere.This is the result of decades during which China has successfully pursued economic policies aimed at national expansion and power, while the U.S. has embraced either free trade or, for want of a better term, economic appeasement.There are two systems in collision,said Ralph Gomory, research professor at NYU’s Stern business school.They have a state-guided form of capitalism, and we have a much freer former of capitalism.What we have seen, he said, is “a massive shift in capability from the U.S. to China. What we have done is traded jobs for profit. The jobs have moved to China. The capability erodes in the U.S. and grows in China. That’s very destructive. That is a big reason why the U.S. is becoming more and more polarized between a small, very rich class and an eroding middle class. The people who get the profits are very different from the people who lost the wages.The next chapter of the story is just beginning.
U.S. spending spree won’t work
What the rise of China means for defense, and international affairs, has barely been touched on. The U.S. is now spending gigantic sums — from a beleaguered economy — to try to maintain its place in the sun. See: Pentagon spending is budget blind spot .
It’s a lesson we could learn more cheaply from the sad story of the British, Spanish and other empires. It doesn’t work. You can’t stay on top if your economy doesn’t.
Equally to the point, here is what this means economically, and for investors. Some years ago I was having lunch with the smartest investor I know, London-based hedge-fund manager Crispin Odey. He made the argument that markets are reasonably efficient, most of the time, at setting prices. Where they are most likely to fail, though, is in correctly anticipating and pricing big, revolutionary, paradigm shifts — whether a rise of disruptive technologies or revolutionary changes in geopolitics. We are living through one now.The U.S. Treasury market continues to operate on the assumption that it will always remain the global benchmark of money. Business schools still teach students, for example, that the interest rate on the 10-year Treasury bond is the risk-free rate on money. And so it has been for more than a century. But that’s all based on the Age of America.No wonder so many have been buying gold. If the U.S. dollar ceases to be the world’s sole reserve currency, what will be? The euro would be fine if it acts like the old deutschemark. If it’s just the Greek drachma in drag ... not so much.The last time the world’s dominant hegemon lost its ability to run things singlehandedly was early in the past century. That’s when the U.S. and Germany surpassed Great Britain. It didn’t turn out well.Brett Arends is a senior columnist for MarketWatch and a personal-finance columnist for The Wall Street Journal.

EU Panel Chooses Passover to Approve Anti-Semitic Food Labeling
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu APR 24,11
A European Union food safety committee chose the first day of Passover to approve a proposal designed to steer consumers away from buying meat from animals slaughtered according to Jewish ritual by labeling it as meat from slaughter without stunning.The proposal will be presented to the EU parliament in July and differs from a decision two years ago by the European Union Council of Agricultural Ministers, which officially recognized shechita – Jewish kosher slaughter.The new draft proposal does not restrict the sale of meat that is slaughtered according to Jewish law but highlights the lack of stunning, which animal rights activists claim is a more humane method for killing animals.Rabbi Aryeh Goldberg, Deputy Director of the Rabbinical Centre of Europe (RCE), decried the timing of the vote with the first day of the Passover holiday and vowed to convince EU legislators to defeat the proposal, the European Jewish Press reported.
It is inconceivable that members of the European Parliament, representing Jewish communities across Europe, could not have chosen another day to vote on such a tendentious issue that gravely affects European Jewry,Rabbi Goldberg said.The laws themselves appear to discriminate against the Jewish community as no other method of slaughter will be mentioned.However, just as we learn in the Passover story that the Jewish people will overcome adversity, so we will overcome this as well and the RCE will use all its efforts to defeat this when it comes for the official vote.The draft legislation, if adopted, could lead to a massive drop in non-Jewish sales and a subsequent substantial rise in the price of kosher meat. Many non-Jews consider kosher food, including meat, safer and healthier than non-kosher food and purchase it. Kosher slaughterhouses also sell non-Jewish stores the parts of the animal that are not allolwed to be eaten by observant Jews even if the animal is killed by ritual slaughter, the stoppage of which would mean a tremendous loss.According to the RCE, the draft legislation runs contrary to the European Union’s own guidelines, not only about freedom of religion, but also the fact that shechita has been proven to be one of the most humane ways of animal slaughter.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Rights group: EU must end faustian pact with Syria
ANDREW RETTMAN 23.04.2011 @ 10:33 CET
EUOBSERVER / BEIRUT - With the death count in Syria jumping up drastically, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has said the EU should impose sanctions on the al-Assad regime or risk missing a historic opportunity to shape events in the Middle East. Syrian rights activists inside the country report that Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad's forces killed at least 70 more people during protests on Friday (22 April), bringing the number of deaths since violence began six weeks ago to some 270.HRW no longer has staff in Syria, but its sources speak of systematic use of live ammunition against unarmed crowds, night-time snatch squads and torture of detainees.HRW analyst Nadim Houry told EUobserver in his office in Beirut, in neighbouring Lebanon, that the EU reaction so far - statements by foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton urging restraint and public silence from EU countries' embassies in Lebanon and Syria - is doing nothing to make al-Assad change track.Given the level of violence, the EU should impose targeted sanctions against key figures in the regime. Visa bans, asset freezes - no more business as usual, no more glossy spreads in Vogue about Louboutin shoes, Houry said, referring to a recent article on al-Assad's wife.He must be given a stark choice - either you keep going down the path of repression and you become an international pariah, and it will be very costly for you economically, or you make real reforms and the European Union will give you all the support you need to do that.He added that Ashton's job should be to persuade Mediterranean rim EU powers - France, Italy and Spain - as well as the US and EU-aspirant Turkey to give explicit backing to the tough new line.
Houry, a 33-year-old Lebanese lawyer, said that recent events have exposed a flaw in EU foreign policy.EU-Syria diplomacy has up to now neglected the rights of Syrian people for the sake of strategic objectives, such as seeking al-Assad's support for the Middle East peace process or maintaining stability in Lebanon. But the uprisings in Syria and beyond show that ordinary Arabs are better partners for any attempts to bring change the region.It's time for Europe to stop making faustian pacts with repressive regimes and to realign its foreign policy with its ideals, Houry said.These are historic events that no-one could have predicted. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a relationship with a new wave in Arab society.Looking more closely at Syria, he said people have broken through the wall of fear that maintained order.He added that al-Assad could still become a transitional leader, but only if he dismantles his hated secret police, the al-Mukhabarat, and makes his security chiefs accountable for crimes.Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Lebanon is calm. People in Beirut are partying on Easter weekend and there is no visible difference apart from extra security on the Syrian side of the border. There are nerves below the surface, however. The largest military power in Lebanon, Hezbollah, is an ally of al-Assad and could get involved if the situation escalates.If we move to a civil war in Syria, it will have a huge impact on Lebanon,Houry said.

St. Louis airport slowly reopens after tornado
– Sun Apr 24, 7:22 am ET
CHICAGO (AFP) – The airport in the US city of St. Louis was expected to resume most of its operations Sunday after tornadoes and high winds tore through the Midwestern city, cutting a swath of destruction at the key transportation hub.Lambert-St. Louis International Airport was to reopen at about 70 percent capacity after restoration of power and clearing the debris, authorities said.We're not going to have the prettiest airport,airport director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge told The St. Louis Post Dispatch.But we will have an operating airport. And that's a really good thing for us.Four Southwest Airlines flights already landed at the airport Saturday, the newspaper reported. Other carriers are ferrying in planes to resume service.Five people were hospitalized late Friday after being hurt by flying glass when the storms ripped off the roof of the main terminal and blew out windows and doors.The National Weather Service said the tornado that shook the airport and its nearby suburbs ranked as a minimum EF4 storm on the one-to-five Enhanced Fujira tornado-strength scale.
The rating meant the tornado had caused extreme damage that had completely leveled solid and whole frame houses, with winds of up to 200 miles (320 kilometers) per hour.Hamm-Niebrugge said the five injured people have been released from hospital after treatment.When you look at the devastation around, it really is a miracle that there were no fatalities and certainly very minor injuries. So, we're grateful for that,she added.The storms, and an apparent tornado, struck the airport in the early evening Friday, forcing airport officials to herd hundreds of travelers into safer areas.We had a vacuum effect, when the wind sucked anything that moved down the concourse,airport spokesman Jeff Lea said. The main terminal suffered much damage, with part of its roof ripped off, and half of the windows of Concourse C were blown out.Staff spent the night mopping up, but the airport, which handles more than 15 million passengers a year, was still running on its back-up generators on Saturday. The runways were scattered with debris, such as crushed cars and wrecked signs, while nearby houses had been ripped apart.Carl Lawrence was standing by the baggage carousel area when the strong wind hit. It rushed through the door and threw everybody against the wall,Lawrence told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has declared a state of emergency as officials reported some injuries and widespread damage in neighborhoods around St. Louis.The state of Missouri is ready to assist at every stage of this emergency to keep Missouri families safe and help communities recover,Nixon said in a statement.
Fire officials said about 50 homes in a subdivision just off the Airport Road were damaged. No one was hurt but several people had to be helped to escape their damaged homes.It was boom, boom, boom,Alicia Braggs said, recalling the storm.It seemed like there was some kind of terrible pressure on my roof, and I could feel the wind.The National Weather Service has also issued flood warnings for the area, saying the heavy rains will likely cause rivers to burst their banks.Powerful tornadoes struck several southern and central US states earlier this month, killing 44 people and reducing whole neighborhoods to rubble.
Japan to launch massive search for quake bodies
By SHINO YUASA, Associated Press – Sun Apr 24, 5:59 am ET
TOKYO – Japan will send nearly 25,000 soldiers backed by boats and aircraft into its disaster zone Monday on an intensive land-and-sea mission to recover the bodies of those killed by last month's earthquake and tsunami, the military said.Agriculture officials also plan to send a team of veterinarians into the evacuation zone around a stricken nuclear plant to check on hundreds of thousands of abandoned cows, pigs and chickens, many of which are believed to have died of starvation and neglect. The government is considering euthanizing some of the dying animals, officials said.
About 14,300 people have been confirmed dead so far in the catastrophic March 11 tsunami and earthquake. Another 12,000 remain missing and are presumed killed. Some of their bodies were likely swept out to sea, while others were buried under the mass of rubble.Cleanup crews have discovered some remains as they gingerly removed rotting debris to clear the area for rebuilding.But the two-day military search operation will be far more extensive, Defense Ministry spokesman Ippo Maeyama said Sunday.We will do our utmost to recover bodies for bereaved families,he said.A total of 24,800 soldiers will scour the rubble, backed by 90 helicopters and planes, he said. Another 50 boats, along with 100 navy divers, will search the waters up to 20 kilometers off the coast, he said. Police, coast guard and U.S. troops will also take part.It's been very difficult and challenging to find bodies because the areas hit by tsunami are so widespread,he said.Many bodies also have been swept away by the tsunami.The operation will be the third intensive military search for bodies since the disaster last month. With the waters receding, Maeyama hopes the teams will have more success.The search was complicated by the decomposition of some of the corpses, he said. Some had already turned into skeletons.You have to be very careful in touching the bodies because they quickly disintegrate. We cannot tell the bodies' gender anymore, let alone their age,he said.
The searches will continue, however,as long as families want us to look for their loved ones,Maeyama said.Meanwhile, the government in the Fukushima prefecture will send a team of six veterinarians into the 12-mile (20-kilometer) evacuation zone around the radiation-leaking Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant to survey the livestock there.Farmers in the area were estimated to have left 3,000 cows, 130,000 pigs and 680,000 chickens behind when they hurriedly fled the area last month when the nuclear crisis started.With no time for burials, veterinarians who find dead livestock will spray lime over them to prevent them from spreading disease, agricultural officials said.The government is also considering euthanizing dying animals, but only after getting permission from their owners, said Yutaka Kashimura, an agricultural official in Fukushima.Killing animals is the very last resort,he said.

6 For they(False World Church and Dictator) have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
Thousands march against nuclear power in Japan
-APR 24,11
TOKYO (AFP) – Thousands of people marched in Tokyo on Sunday to demand an end to nuclear power in Japan and a switch to alternative energy after the crisis at an atomic plant hit by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.Brandishing placards bearing the slogan: Bye Bye Genpatsu (Goodbye Nuclear Power), demonstrators -- including many young people and families -- walked along a route from Yoyogi Park in the centre of the capital.
Organisers estimated 5,000 took part.
We are worried. Before Fukushima, I wasn't thinking about it but now we must act, we must do it for our children,said Hiroshi Iino, 43, who joined the Energy shift parade with his wife and two boys, aged five and nine.Schoolteacher Yoko Onuma, 48, said she was demonstrating for the second time since the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi plant where radiation leaks have forced the evacuation of some 80,000 people within 20 kilometres (13 miles) of the site.Before, I wasn't aware of the dangers of nuclear power,she said.But now we have to mobilise many people, as has happened in other countries, such as Germany.Greenpeace Japan director Junichi Sato, one of the organisers of the protest, said until now few had protested about nuclear power following the quake-tsunami disaster which left more than 26,000 dead or missing.
Over the past month, everybody was focusing on the victims of the tsunami ... on how to end the crisis,Sato said.Outside (in other countries), they jumped directly on the energy issue,he said.But mobilisation is going to increase in Japan.Around 2,000 people took part in a separate anti-nuclear demonstration under the slogan Anti-TEPCO,referring to the operator of the atomic plant, held simultaneously a few kilometres away at Shiba Park.The issue of possibly phasing out nuclear power is now openly debated on the political scene in Japan.We cannot do without nuclear energy, but we have to think about the way nuclear plants are built and the speed of their construction,Katsuya Okada, secretary general of the ruling centre-left Democratic Party of Japan, said Friday.Before the tsunami which led to the shutdown of a dozen reactors, nearly 30 percent of Japan's electricity was generated from nuclear power.
Resource-poor Japan is highly dependent on Middle Eastern oil but its high-tech companies are also world leaders in many environmental and energy-saving technologies.

Thousands call for Assad overthrow at Syria funeral
By Suleiman al-Khalidi - APR 24,11
AMMAN (Reuters) – Thousands of Syrians called for the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad Sunday at a funeral for protesters killed by security forces in the southern town of Nawa, a witness said.Long live Syria. Down with Bashar! the mourners chanted, their calls audible in a telephone call during the funeral.Leave, leave. The people want the overthrow of the regime.The witness said four people were killed Saturday in Nawa, about 25 km (15 miles) north of the city of Deraa where demonstrations against Assad's authoritarian rule first erupted, when they gathered to protest earlier shootings.At least 100 people were killed in Syria Friday, the highest toll in five weeks of unrest, when security forces shot protesters demanding political freedoms and an end to corruption in their country, ruled for 41 years by the Assad dynasty.Activists described Friday's killings as a turning point which exposed the hollowness of Assad's announcement that he was lifting a 48-year state of emergency and abolishing a hated state security court.At least 12 more people were killed Saturday at mass funerals for the slain protesters, and rights campaigners said secret police raided homes near Damascus just after midnight on Sunday, arresting activists in the area.
Assad assumed power when his father died in 2000 after ruling Syria for 30 years. The hostile chants in Nawa Sunday reflect a steady hardening of the demands of protesters who first called for greater freedoms but now seek his overthrow.Despite deepening his father Hafez al-Assad's anti-Israel alliance with Iran, clawing back Syrian influence in Lebanon and backing militant groups Hezbollah and Hamas, Assad has kept Syria's front line with Israel quiet and held indirect peace talks with the Jewish state.International condemnation of Assad has also intensified. Western criticism was initially muted because of lingering hopes that Assad might implement genuine reform and because revolution in Syria would reshape the political map in the Middle East.I deplore the increasing violence in Syria, and am appalled by the killing of demonstrators by Syrian security forces,British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Sunday, advising all British nationals to leave Syria.U.S. President Barack Obama urged Assad Friday to stop the outrageous use of violence to quell protests.Syrian authorities, who blame the violence on armed groups, dismissed Obama's comments.
NATIONWIDE PROTESTS
The weekend protests stretched from the port city of Latakia to Homs, Hama, Damascus, its suburbs and southern towns. The death toll rose to around 350, with scores of missing since the demonstrations broke out on March 18, rights campaigners said.An eminent jurists' group said Sunday the United Nations Security Council must investigate mass killings by the security forces which it said may warrant prosecution by the International Criminal Court.Those ordering and carrying out these attacks, including those firing live rounds into crowds, must be held criminally accountable, said Wilder Tayler, Secretary General of the International Commission of Jurists.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said dozens of people were arrested by security forces after the demonstrations Friday, including nine in Idlib province, four in Syria's second city of Aleppo and five in eastern Raqqa province.The violence in Nawa, a town of 60,000 residents in the southern Hauran Plain which was the cradle of Syria's uprising, broke out when residents tried to gather in protest Saturday, the witness at the funeral said.Security forces opened fire on protesters, who overran headquarters of the state and military security branches. Residents said four protesters were killed. The official SANA news agency, apparently referring to the same clashes, said seven army soldiers were killed by criminal armed groups.Assad has ejected most foreign media from the country, so independent reports of the violence are difficult to verify.Demonstrators have been using the Internet to get out pictures of the violence, many of which have been explicit.
One video posted on Internet site YouTube showed a crowd marching near Abbasside square in Damascus, purportedly on Friday, chanting the people want the overthrow of the regime,before the sound of gunfire was heard. Demonstrators raised their hands to show that they were unarmed. The fire intensified. One youth fell, with blood spurting from his head and back. His comrades lifted him but dropped his body when the sound of bullets resumed.In a move unthinkable in Syria just five weeks ago, two Deraa lawmakers in Syria's rubberstamp parliament resigned on Saturday to protest against the killings of protesters.(Additional reporting by Khaled Yacoub Oweis and Stephanie Nebehay in Geneva; Writing by Dominic Evans; Editing by Maria Golovnina)
Libya's Misrata comes under heavy bombardment: rebels
By Alexander Dziadosz - APR 24,11
BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) – Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi bombarded Misrata on Sunday, a day after rebels celebrated the pullback of government troops from the western Libyan city, a rebel spokesman said.The situation is very dangerous,rebel spokesman Abdelsalam said by telephone from Misrata.Gaddafi's brigades started random bombardment in the early hours of this morning. The bombardment is still going on.Captured government troops said on Saturday they had been ordered to retreat from Misrata -- the only major rebel-held city in western Libya -- after a siege of nearly two months, and rebels fighting to overthrow Gaddafi had claimed victory.But on Sunday, government forces bombarded three residential areas and the city center, including Tripoli Street, the thoroughfare which has been the scene of intense fighting in recent weeks, Abdelsalam said. Another rebel spokesman, Ahmed Hassan, said at least one person was killed and 12 wounded.Hundreds have been killed in the fighting for Misrata, raising fears of a humanitarian crisis in the besieged city.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov phoned Libyan Prime Minister Al-Baghdadi Ali al-Mahmoudi on Saturday to urge Tripoli to implement United Nations Security Council resolutions and end attacks on civilians.Lavrov said that the most important issue now is to stop the bloodshed and sufferings of the civilian population,the Russian foreign ministry said on its website on Sunday.
But rebels in their eastern stronghold Benghazi said they had no expectations of an early end to fighting in Misrata.I don't think this is a real withdrawal, rebel military spokesman Ahmed Bani told Reuters.He suggested government loyalists may be trying to stoke tensions between Misrata and neighboring towns, and that Gaddafi's troops might return to the city later under the guise of intervening to protect local tribes from the rebels.Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaim said on Friday the army would leave it to the tribes and the people around Misrata to deal with the situation whether by using force or using negotiations.British Foreign Secretary William Hague told the BBC he doubted Gaddafi's forces were really going to withdraw. This may be cover for using more insurgent type warfare without any uniforms and without tanks.
REBELS SAY THEY NEED WEAPONS
Britain and France have been leading air strikes against Gaddafi's forces in an operation mandated by the U.N. Security Council on March 17 to protect civilians in Libya.The United States has also deployed Predator drones, using the unmanned plane for the first time on Saturday to attack the site of a multiple rocket launcher near Misrata.Rebels have so far, however, been unable to advance from the east as they fight back-and-forth battles with Gaddafi's troops on the coastal road between the towns of Ajdabiyah and Brega.Rebel spokesman Bani said the rebels in the east were still outmatched by the superior firepower of Gaddafi's troops.If we obtain weapons, I think we would be able to solve this problem in maximum one month,he said. Western countries, reluctant to be further dragged into a conflict in a third Muslim country after wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, have been unwilling to arm the rebels. But Britain and France have said they will send military advisors and Italy is considering sending military trainers.Western powers have been bombing Libyan positions for more than a month. The United States, Britain and France say they will not stop their air war until Gaddafi leaves office.Given the stalemate in the east, the announcement that Gaddafi's troops were pulling out of Misrata was the first suggestion in weeks of a shift in the balance of the war.
On Saturday, rebels in Misrata celebrated their success.Misrata is free, the rebels have won. Of Gaddafi's forces, some are killed and others are running away,a rebel spokesmen said by telephone from the city.One government soldier, Khaled Dorman, among a group of 12 being brought to hospital for treatment in Misrata, told Reuters that, We have been told to withdraw. We were told to withdraw yesterday.But the mood of victory among the rebels appeared to be short-lived. By late on Saturday, Al Jazeera television reported that heavy fighting continued around a hospital in western Misrata being used as a base by Gaddafi's forces.
DIPLOMACY
Libya's official JANA news agency said on Saturday Prime Minister Mahmoudi held separate telephone conversations with Russia's Lavrov and Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou.While speaking with Papandreou he reiterated Libya's commitment to United Nations resolutions,JANA said.The Libyan government has repeatedly made calls for ceasefires but rebels say they are not matched by its actions.Russia, which has criticized Western air strikes, is prepared to work with the African Union and the U.N. to move the situation to political and diplomatic channels,the Russian foreign ministry said.Libyan Foreign Minister Abdelati Obeidi crossed into Tunisia on Saturday and then flew to the capital Tunis, a Tunisian security source said. It was not clear where Obeidi, who held talks in Cyprus earlier this month, would go next. Cypriot officials denied he was heading their way.(Additional reporting by Tim Castle in London and Lin Nouehid in Tripoli, writing by Myra MacDonald, editing by Jon Boyle)
Want JP Morgan to crash? Buy silver-The campaign to buy silver and force JP Morgan into bankruptcy could work, because of the liabilities accrued by its short-selling Max Keiser guardian.co.uk, Thursday 2 December 2010 12.30 GMT
For decades, the world's banking system has been on a fiat currency standard that has led to banks that are too big to fail. They have overreached their remit of providing loans and have leeched into the political system, using our money to change the political agenda in ways that boost bank management's compensation over the interests of their depositors.Deborah Hargreaves on how Eric Cantona's bank protest would hurt us all Over the past 11 years, the Gata (Gold Anti-Trust Action) committee has worked to reveal the silver/gold price suppression scheme; thanks to whistleblower Andrew Maguire in London, an investigation has been opened. As part of the ongoing exposé, it has now become clear that JP Morgan is sitting on what is estimated to be 3.3bn ounce short position in silver (which they have sold short, meaning they don't own it to begin with) in an attempt to keep the price artificially low in order to keep the relative appeal of the dollar and other fiat currencies high. The potential liability for JP Morgan has been an open secret for a few years.On my show, Keiser Report, I recently invited Michael Krieger, a regular contributor of Zero Hedge (the WikiLeaks of finance). We posited that if 5% of the world's population each bought a one-ounce coin of silver, JP Morgan would be forced to cover their shorts – an estimated $1.5tn liability – against their market capital of $150bn, and the company would therefore go bankrupt. A few days later, I suggested on the Alex Jones show that he launch a Google bomb with the key phrase crash jp morgan buy silver.
Within a couple of hours, it went viral and hundreds of videos have been made to support the campaign.Right now, silver eagle sales for the month of November hit an all-time record high and the availability of silver on a wholesale level is drying up. The most important indicator is the price itself – holding just under a 30-year high. With each uptick JP Morgan gets closer to going bust or requiring a bailout.
Here's how the campaign works: wealth tied to a fiat currency is easily overwhelmed by wealth tied to silver and gold. And the world is waking up to the fact that they have the ability, without government assistance or other interference, to create a new precious metals-based backed currency system by simply converting their fiat paper into real money.This campaign has 100% chance of working; it falls into the category of a self-fulfilling prophecy. As more individuals buy silver and gold, all attempts to replenish the system with more paper money will only cause the purchasing power of the silver and gold to increase – thus prompting more people to buy more. Any attempts to bail out JP Morgan would have the same effect. If the US Fed was to flood the system with bailout money for JP Morgan to cover their silver short position (as they did after the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management), more inflation will ensue and the price of silver and gold will rise more, triggering more purchases. A virtuous circle is born.If anyone is interested in helping to crash JP Morgan, buy silver. In the end, it's about transferring wealth back to the people from where it came.
London Source - Asian Buyers Will Take Silver Over $100
KWN’s London source has updated King World News on the massive Asian buyers which have been accumulating gold and silver. The London source stated, $3 to $4 dollar days in silver will become common, from now on $2 days will be considered slow. There will be a great deal of volatility going forward, but more often than not silver will close near the highs.April 25, 2011.The London Source continues:Right now the silver shorts are being flushed out in Asian trading on light volume and we have options expiration ahead of us. 38,000 silver contracts are in the money and the question is how many will ask for delivery? As I mentioned to you previously, the Asians have also been taking delivery of silver out of SLV and will continue to do so. You have to understand that these Asian buyers are planning to take delivery of all of the available phyiscal silver they can get their hands on and will continue doing so for the foreseeable future.When asked at what price the Chinese will stop buying silver the London source replied, The Chinese want out of dollars and they will continue aggressively purchasing both gold and silver in order to diversify. They don’t care whether silver is $50, $60 or $100, they will just continue accumulating. The Chinese may be patient buyers, accumulating on weakness, but you can bet that their relentless purchases of physical silver will eventually push the price well over $100 an ounce.As Dan Norcini and I discussed this weekend on the KWN Weekly Metals Wrap, the Asians are steering the bus in the silver market as the paper shorts lost control some time ago.Eric King-KingWorldNews.com
Will governments confiscate gold?
2011-APR-24
As concerns mount that there is another financial crisis in the offing and the gold price rises, American investors worry increasingly about whether the US government will confiscate their gold. The precedent was set by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who in 1933 forced all of America’s gold owners to sell their bullion to the Federal government at the official price.However, the situation today is very different from that of 78 years ago. At that time, gold was the primary currency, the dollar being tied to it at $20.67 per ounce. But today, the Fed and European central banks strongly deny that gold has any monetary role at all, and argue instead that it’s just a hangover from the past: that barbarous relic as Keynes called it. Its confiscation would be an embarrassing admission that gold, after all, is money.Nevertheless, as paper currencies continue to lose credibility, the temptation for any government to seize its citizens’ gold to enhance official holdings must be growing. Americans today, however, are unlikely to meekly accept confiscation the way they did under Roosevelt. And nowadays, you may be American, but your gold is not necessarily held at an American bank: it is just as likely to be in London, Zurich or Hong Kong.
The wording of a compulsory order is all-important. Confiscation requires the gold itself to be surrendered, which presumably would be the objective if a government is to add to official holdings. If gold ownership is merely banned, it is a different matter. A bullion bank holding gold in an unallocated account would almost certainly be unable to deliver physical gold if required to do so by the American government, but it would be able to close out the account for cash. And there is the thorny question of derivatives, which hardly existed in the 1930s. All futures and options trading would cease, and contracts for forward delivery would be cancelled, possibly with serious financial consequences.The international nature of gold would probably require all G10 or even G20 members to agree to similar actions against their own citizens. It seems unlikely that all governments would agree to this, unless they all had their backs hard against the wall. Switzerland, an associate member of the G10, would almost certainly face a referendum and be unable to comply. The G20 also includes China, India, Saudi Arabia and Russia. It is extremely unlikely that these countries will be prepared to confiscate their citizens’ gold to appease the Americans.Just the mention of these names alerts us to the dangers of a confiscatory move by the US. It would make the Chinese and Indian middle classes instantly wealthier than the average American, measured by gold ownership – an interesting thought when paper currencies are losing credibility. On balance, a repeat of the Roosevelt confiscation seems unlikely. But there is one thing we can be certain of, and that is that the risk of silver confiscation is more remote, so perhaps that is the safer metal to own.Author: Alasdair Macleod.
Don't Like a Weak Dollar? Might as Well Get Used to It
Published: Thursday, 21 Apr 2011 | 2:26 PM ET Text Size By: Jeff Cox
CNBC.com Staff Writer
Weakness in the US dollar, which is causing everything to go up—including gas prices, food and stocks—is unlikely to go away soon as a selling frenzy hits the currency market.The greenback is approaching pre-financial crisis lows and threatening to smash through its all-time low when measured against the world's predominant national currencies.A combination of factors accounts for the weakness, with the Federal Reserve's easy-money policies, huge national debts and deficits and the consequential possibility of a debt downgrade because of the financial mess in Washington leading the way.In short, as trader Dennis Gartman noted Thursday,the rout of the US dollar is in full effect.Panic dollar selling is setting in, Gartman, a hedge fund manager and author of The Gartman Letter, wrote in his daily commentary. This may carry farther than any of us dream of or, worse, have nightmares of.
How low can it go?
Rick Bensignor, chief market strategist at Dahlman Rose in New York, said the dollar index [.DXY 74.02 -0.09 (-0.12%) ], which measures the greenback against a basket of select other global currencies, has scant technical support that has any meaning between its present level and the historical low of 70.70.That's a widely shared view, even as currency pros wonder how the dollar could be falling against the euro considering the near certainty of sovereign debt defaults in smaller European Union nations.Gartman described the dollar as being in serious jeopardy because of its status against the euro, which was defended recently as European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet announced a rate hike in the zone.No such defense is being offered in the US, where neither Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke nor most of the rest of the central bank's Open Market Committee seems much in the mood to raise rates despite the anemic dollar. Though the Fed is ostensibly apolitical, there is no pressure as well from the Obama administration to boost the dollar's value.If things were to somehow go into freefall or there were disorderly markets, or if it is associated with a rise in interest rates, there could be some concerns there,said Josh Feinman, chief global economist at Deutsche Bank Advisors.But that's not happening at all. Rates in the US are still very, very low. At the margin, (a weak dollar) is a slight easing in financial conditions.
Weak Dollar = $6 Gas? Greenback Still FallingHow to Trade a Weakening Dollar
That, of course, is not the case for consumers buying food and energy. Some economists believe that a weak dollar is contributing heavily to the surge in prices at the pump, with one speculating that gas could reach $6 a gallon or beyond by summertime, given certain conditions.Food prices also are on a steady climb higher. In both cases, a weak dollar is at least somewhat to blame as it drives commodities, which are priced in dollars and therefore cheaper and more attractive to speculators in the global marketplace.But the stock market has enjoyed the weak dollar.The Standard & Poor's 500 [.SPX 1335.89 -1.49 (-0.11%) ] and the dollar have had almost a perfectly inverse relationship this year, with the stock index gaining just over 6 percent in 2011 and the dollar losing 6.5 percent.At the margins it helps US exporters, and the US importers probably also increase profits as they're repatriated,said David Resler, chief economist at Nomura Securities in New York. I don't see the dollar as having a significant intermediate-run effect on the performance of the economy.With Wall Street shaking off the dangers of a possible downgrade from S&P, the market is likely to prevail against any thought that it's time to start enacting policies that defend the currency.The only thing on the horizon that appears to be dollar-friendly is the end of the second leg of the Fed's quantitative easing program—or QE2—in June.Even then, the central bank is likely only to stop its $600 Treasury-buying operations. There are no indications that the Fed will be selling back into the marketplace any of the securities it has purchased, so a rise in rates is unlikely until inflation becomes more widespread and indicated through government economic metrics.That's probably just a warm-up for a QE 3 program later on. All these things are undermining the fundamentals for the dollar,said Sean Hyman, currency director for World Currency Watch.It doesn't help anything that commodities keep going through the roof. There are a few dynamics working in a concerted effort all at once, and that's killing it.

IMF bombshell: Age of America nears end
BOSTON (MarketWatch) — The International Monetary Fund has just dropped a bombshell, and nobody noticed.For the first time, the international organization has set a date for the moment when the Age of America will end and the U.S. economy will be overtaken by that of China.The Obama deficit tourThe Wall Street Journal editorial page’s Steve Moore critiques the president's speeches attacking Republican budget plans.And it’s a lot closer than you may think.According to the latest IMF official forecasts, China’s economy will surpass that of America in real terms in 2016 — just five years from now.Put that in your calendar.
It provides a painful context for the budget wrangling taking place in Washington, D.C., right now. It raises enormous questions about what the international security system is going to look like in just a handful of years. And it casts a deepening cloud over both the U.S. dollar and the giant Treasury market, which have been propped up for decades by their privileged status as the liabilities of the world’s hegemonic power.According to the IMF forecast, whomever is elected U.S. president next year — Obama? Mitt Romney? Donald Trump? — will be the last to preside over the world’s largest economy.Most people aren’t prepared for this. They aren’t even aware it’s that close. Listen to experts of various stripes, and they will tell you this moment is decades away. The most bearish will put the figure in the mid-2020s. China’s economy will be the world’s largest within five years or so.But they’re miscounting. They’re only comparing the gross domestic products of the two countries using current exchange rates.That’s a largely meaningless comparison in real terms. Exchange rates change quickly. And China’s exchange rates are phony. China artificially undervalues its currency, the renminbi, through massive intervention in the markets.
The comparison that really matters
The IMF in its analysis looks beyond exchange rates to the true, real terms picture of the economies using purchasing power parities.That compares what people earn and spend in real terms in their domestic economies.Under PPP, the Chinese economy will expand from $11.2 trillion this year to $19 trillion in 2016. Meanwhile the size of the U.S. economy will rise from $15.2 trillion to $18.8 trillion. That would take America’s share of the world output down to 17.7%, the lowest in modern times. China’s would reach 18%, and rising.Just 10 years ago, the U.S. economy was three times the size of China’s.Naturally, all forecasts are fallible. Time and chance happen to them all. The actual date when China surpasses the U.S. might come even earlier than the IMF predicts, or somewhat later. If the great Chinese juggernaut blows a tire, as a growing number fear it might, it could even delay things by several years. But the outcome is scarcely in doubt.
This is more than a statistical story. It is the end of the Age of America. As a bond strategist in Europe told me two weeks ago, We are witnessing the end of America’s economic hegemony.We have lived in a world dominated by the U.S. for so long that there is no longer anyone alive who remembers anything else. America overtook Great Britain as the world’s leading economic power in the 1890s and never looked back.And both those countries live under very similar rules of constitutional government, respect for civil liberties and the rights of property. China has none of those. The Age of China will feel very different.Victor Cha, senior adviser on Asian affairs at Washington’s Center for Strategic and International Studies, told me China’s neighbors in Asia are already waking up to the dangers.The region is overwhelmingly looking to the U.S. in a way that it hasn’t done in the past,he said. They see the U.S. as a counterweight to China. They also see American hegemony over the last half-century as fairly benign. In China they see the rise of an economic power that is not benevolent, that can be predatory. They don’t see it as a benign hegemony.The rise of China, and the relative decline of America, is the biggest story of our time. You can see its implications everywhere, from shuttered factories in the Midwest to soaring costs of oil and other commodities. Last fall, when I attended a conference in London about agricultural investment, I was struck by the number of people there who told stories about Chinese interests snapping up farmland and foodstuff supplies — from South America to China and elsewhere.This is the result of decades during which China has successfully pursued economic policies aimed at national expansion and power, while the U.S. has embraced either free trade or, for want of a better term, economic appeasement.There are two systems in collision,said Ralph Gomory, research professor at NYU’s Stern business school.They have a state-guided form of capitalism, and we have a much freer former of capitalism.What we have seen, he said, is “a massive shift in capability from the U.S. to China. What we have done is traded jobs for profit. The jobs have moved to China. The capability erodes in the U.S. and grows in China. That’s very destructive. That is a big reason why the U.S. is becoming more and more polarized between a small, very rich class and an eroding middle class. The people who get the profits are very different from the people who lost the wages.The next chapter of the story is just beginning.
U.S. spending spree won’t work
What the rise of China means for defense, and international affairs, has barely been touched on. The U.S. is now spending gigantic sums — from a beleaguered economy — to try to maintain its place in the sun. See: Pentagon spending is budget blind spot .
It’s a lesson we could learn more cheaply from the sad story of the British, Spanish and other empires. It doesn’t work. You can’t stay on top if your economy doesn’t.
Equally to the point, here is what this means economically, and for investors. Some years ago I was having lunch with the smartest investor I know, London-based hedge-fund manager Crispin Odey. He made the argument that markets are reasonably efficient, most of the time, at setting prices. Where they are most likely to fail, though, is in correctly anticipating and pricing big, revolutionary, paradigm shifts — whether a rise of disruptive technologies or revolutionary changes in geopolitics. We are living through one now.The U.S. Treasury market continues to operate on the assumption that it will always remain the global benchmark of money. Business schools still teach students, for example, that the interest rate on the 10-year Treasury bond is the risk-free rate on money. And so it has been for more than a century. But that’s all based on the Age of America.No wonder so many have been buying gold. If the U.S. dollar ceases to be the world’s sole reserve currency, what will be? The euro would be fine if it acts like the old deutschemark. If it’s just the Greek drachma in drag ... not so much.The last time the world’s dominant hegemon lost its ability to run things singlehandedly was early in the past century. That’s when the U.S. and Germany surpassed Great Britain. It didn’t turn out well.Brett Arends is a senior columnist for MarketWatch and a personal-finance columnist for The Wall Street Journal.

EU Panel Chooses Passover to Approve Anti-Semitic Food Labeling
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu APR 24,11
A European Union food safety committee chose the first day of Passover to approve a proposal designed to steer consumers away from buying meat from animals slaughtered according to Jewish ritual by labeling it as meat from slaughter without stunning.The proposal will be presented to the EU parliament in July and differs from a decision two years ago by the European Union Council of Agricultural Ministers, which officially recognized shechita – Jewish kosher slaughter.The new draft proposal does not restrict the sale of meat that is slaughtered according to Jewish law but highlights the lack of stunning, which animal rights activists claim is a more humane method for killing animals.Rabbi Aryeh Goldberg, Deputy Director of the Rabbinical Centre of Europe (RCE), decried the timing of the vote with the first day of the Passover holiday and vowed to convince EU legislators to defeat the proposal, the European Jewish Press reported.
It is inconceivable that members of the European Parliament, representing Jewish communities across Europe, could not have chosen another day to vote on such a tendentious issue that gravely affects European Jewry,Rabbi Goldberg said.The laws themselves appear to discriminate against the Jewish community as no other method of slaughter will be mentioned.However, just as we learn in the Passover story that the Jewish people will overcome adversity, so we will overcome this as well and the RCE will use all its efforts to defeat this when it comes for the official vote.The draft legislation, if adopted, could lead to a massive drop in non-Jewish sales and a subsequent substantial rise in the price of kosher meat. Many non-Jews consider kosher food, including meat, safer and healthier than non-kosher food and purchase it. Kosher slaughterhouses also sell non-Jewish stores the parts of the animal that are not allolwed to be eaten by observant Jews even if the animal is killed by ritual slaughter, the stoppage of which would mean a tremendous loss.According to the RCE, the draft legislation runs contrary to the European Union’s own guidelines, not only about freedom of religion, but also the fact that shechita has been proven to be one of the most humane ways of animal slaughter.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Rights group: EU must end faustian pact with Syria
ANDREW RETTMAN 23.04.2011 @ 10:33 CET
EUOBSERVER / BEIRUT - With the death count in Syria jumping up drastically, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has said the EU should impose sanctions on the al-Assad regime or risk missing a historic opportunity to shape events in the Middle East. Syrian rights activists inside the country report that Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad's forces killed at least 70 more people during protests on Friday (22 April), bringing the number of deaths since violence began six weeks ago to some 270.HRW no longer has staff in Syria, but its sources speak of systematic use of live ammunition against unarmed crowds, night-time snatch squads and torture of detainees.HRW analyst Nadim Houry told EUobserver in his office in Beirut, in neighbouring Lebanon, that the EU reaction so far - statements by foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton urging restraint and public silence from EU countries' embassies in Lebanon and Syria - is doing nothing to make al-Assad change track.Given the level of violence, the EU should impose targeted sanctions against key figures in the regime. Visa bans, asset freezes - no more business as usual, no more glossy spreads in Vogue about Louboutin shoes, Houry said, referring to a recent article on al-Assad's wife.He must be given a stark choice - either you keep going down the path of repression and you become an international pariah, and it will be very costly for you economically, or you make real reforms and the European Union will give you all the support you need to do that.He added that Ashton's job should be to persuade Mediterranean rim EU powers - France, Italy and Spain - as well as the US and EU-aspirant Turkey to give explicit backing to the tough new line.
Houry, a 33-year-old Lebanese lawyer, said that recent events have exposed a flaw in EU foreign policy.EU-Syria diplomacy has up to now neglected the rights of Syrian people for the sake of strategic objectives, such as seeking al-Assad's support for the Middle East peace process or maintaining stability in Lebanon. But the uprisings in Syria and beyond show that ordinary Arabs are better partners for any attempts to bring change the region.It's time for Europe to stop making faustian pacts with repressive regimes and to realign its foreign policy with its ideals, Houry said.These are historic events that no-one could have predicted. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a relationship with a new wave in Arab society.Looking more closely at Syria, he said people have broken through the wall of fear that maintained order.He added that al-Assad could still become a transitional leader, but only if he dismantles his hated secret police, the al-Mukhabarat, and makes his security chiefs accountable for crimes.Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Lebanon is calm. People in Beirut are partying on Easter weekend and there is no visible difference apart from extra security on the Syrian side of the border. There are nerves below the surface, however. The largest military power in Lebanon, Hezbollah, is an ally of al-Assad and could get involved if the situation escalates.If we move to a civil war in Syria, it will have a huge impact on Lebanon,Houry said.

St. Louis airport slowly reopens after tornado
– Sun Apr 24, 7:22 am ET
CHICAGO (AFP) – The airport in the US city of St. Louis was expected to resume most of its operations Sunday after tornadoes and high winds tore through the Midwestern city, cutting a swath of destruction at the key transportation hub.Lambert-St. Louis International Airport was to reopen at about 70 percent capacity after restoration of power and clearing the debris, authorities said.We're not going to have the prettiest airport,airport director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge told The St. Louis Post Dispatch.But we will have an operating airport. And that's a really good thing for us.Four Southwest Airlines flights already landed at the airport Saturday, the newspaper reported. Other carriers are ferrying in planes to resume service.Five people were hospitalized late Friday after being hurt by flying glass when the storms ripped off the roof of the main terminal and blew out windows and doors.The National Weather Service said the tornado that shook the airport and its nearby suburbs ranked as a minimum EF4 storm on the one-to-five Enhanced Fujira tornado-strength scale.
The rating meant the tornado had caused extreme damage that had completely leveled solid and whole frame houses, with winds of up to 200 miles (320 kilometers) per hour.Hamm-Niebrugge said the five injured people have been released from hospital after treatment.When you look at the devastation around, it really is a miracle that there were no fatalities and certainly very minor injuries. So, we're grateful for that,she added.The storms, and an apparent tornado, struck the airport in the early evening Friday, forcing airport officials to herd hundreds of travelers into safer areas.We had a vacuum effect, when the wind sucked anything that moved down the concourse,airport spokesman Jeff Lea said. The main terminal suffered much damage, with part of its roof ripped off, and half of the windows of Concourse C were blown out.Staff spent the night mopping up, but the airport, which handles more than 15 million passengers a year, was still running on its back-up generators on Saturday. The runways were scattered with debris, such as crushed cars and wrecked signs, while nearby houses had been ripped apart.Carl Lawrence was standing by the baggage carousel area when the strong wind hit. It rushed through the door and threw everybody against the wall,Lawrence told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has declared a state of emergency as officials reported some injuries and widespread damage in neighborhoods around St. Louis.The state of Missouri is ready to assist at every stage of this emergency to keep Missouri families safe and help communities recover,Nixon said in a statement.
Fire officials said about 50 homes in a subdivision just off the Airport Road were damaged. No one was hurt but several people had to be helped to escape their damaged homes.It was boom, boom, boom,Alicia Braggs said, recalling the storm.It seemed like there was some kind of terrible pressure on my roof, and I could feel the wind.The National Weather Service has also issued flood warnings for the area, saying the heavy rains will likely cause rivers to burst their banks.Powerful tornadoes struck several southern and central US states earlier this month, killing 44 people and reducing whole neighborhoods to rubble.
Japan to launch massive search for quake bodies
By SHINO YUASA, Associated Press – Sun Apr 24, 5:59 am ET
TOKYO – Japan will send nearly 25,000 soldiers backed by boats and aircraft into its disaster zone Monday on an intensive land-and-sea mission to recover the bodies of those killed by last month's earthquake and tsunami, the military said.Agriculture officials also plan to send a team of veterinarians into the evacuation zone around a stricken nuclear plant to check on hundreds of thousands of abandoned cows, pigs and chickens, many of which are believed to have died of starvation and neglect. The government is considering euthanizing some of the dying animals, officials said.
About 14,300 people have been confirmed dead so far in the catastrophic March 11 tsunami and earthquake. Another 12,000 remain missing and are presumed killed. Some of their bodies were likely swept out to sea, while others were buried under the mass of rubble.Cleanup crews have discovered some remains as they gingerly removed rotting debris to clear the area for rebuilding.But the two-day military search operation will be far more extensive, Defense Ministry spokesman Ippo Maeyama said Sunday.We will do our utmost to recover bodies for bereaved families,he said.A total of 24,800 soldiers will scour the rubble, backed by 90 helicopters and planes, he said. Another 50 boats, along with 100 navy divers, will search the waters up to 20 kilometers off the coast, he said. Police, coast guard and U.S. troops will also take part.It's been very difficult and challenging to find bodies because the areas hit by tsunami are so widespread,he said.Many bodies also have been swept away by the tsunami.The operation will be the third intensive military search for bodies since the disaster last month. With the waters receding, Maeyama hopes the teams will have more success.The search was complicated by the decomposition of some of the corpses, he said. Some had already turned into skeletons.You have to be very careful in touching the bodies because they quickly disintegrate. We cannot tell the bodies' gender anymore, let alone their age,he said.
The searches will continue, however,as long as families want us to look for their loved ones,Maeyama said.Meanwhile, the government in the Fukushima prefecture will send a team of six veterinarians into the 12-mile (20-kilometer) evacuation zone around the radiation-leaking Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant to survey the livestock there.Farmers in the area were estimated to have left 3,000 cows, 130,000 pigs and 680,000 chickens behind when they hurriedly fled the area last month when the nuclear crisis started.With no time for burials, veterinarians who find dead livestock will spray lime over them to prevent them from spreading disease, agricultural officials said.The government is also considering euthanizing dying animals, but only after getting permission from their owners, said Yutaka Kashimura, an agricultural official in Fukushima.Killing animals is the very last resort,he said.

Thousands march against nuclear power in Japan
-APR 24,11
TOKYO (AFP) – Thousands of people marched in Tokyo on Sunday to demand an end to nuclear power in Japan and a switch to alternative energy after the crisis at an atomic plant hit by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.Brandishing placards bearing the slogan: Bye Bye Genpatsu (Goodbye Nuclear Power), demonstrators -- including many young people and families -- walked along a route from Yoyogi Park in the centre of the capital.
Organisers estimated 5,000 took part.
We are worried. Before Fukushima, I wasn't thinking about it but now we must act, we must do it for our children,said Hiroshi Iino, 43, who joined the Energy shift parade with his wife and two boys, aged five and nine.Schoolteacher Yoko Onuma, 48, said she was demonstrating for the second time since the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi plant where radiation leaks have forced the evacuation of some 80,000 people within 20 kilometres (13 miles) of the site.Before, I wasn't aware of the dangers of nuclear power,she said.But now we have to mobilise many people, as has happened in other countries, such as Germany.Greenpeace Japan director Junichi Sato, one of the organisers of the protest, said until now few had protested about nuclear power following the quake-tsunami disaster which left more than 26,000 dead or missing.
Over the past month, everybody was focusing on the victims of the tsunami ... on how to end the crisis,Sato said.Outside (in other countries), they jumped directly on the energy issue,he said.But mobilisation is going to increase in Japan.Around 2,000 people took part in a separate anti-nuclear demonstration under the slogan Anti-TEPCO,referring to the operator of the atomic plant, held simultaneously a few kilometres away at Shiba Park.The issue of possibly phasing out nuclear power is now openly debated on the political scene in Japan.We cannot do without nuclear energy, but we have to think about the way nuclear plants are built and the speed of their construction,Katsuya Okada, secretary general of the ruling centre-left Democratic Party of Japan, said Friday.Before the tsunami which led to the shutdown of a dozen reactors, nearly 30 percent of Japan's electricity was generated from nuclear power.
Resource-poor Japan is highly dependent on Middle Eastern oil but its high-tech companies are also world leaders in many environmental and energy-saving technologies.

Thousands call for Assad overthrow at Syria funeral
By Suleiman al-Khalidi - APR 24,11
AMMAN (Reuters) – Thousands of Syrians called for the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad Sunday at a funeral for protesters killed by security forces in the southern town of Nawa, a witness said.Long live Syria. Down with Bashar! the mourners chanted, their calls audible in a telephone call during the funeral.Leave, leave. The people want the overthrow of the regime.The witness said four people were killed Saturday in Nawa, about 25 km (15 miles) north of the city of Deraa where demonstrations against Assad's authoritarian rule first erupted, when they gathered to protest earlier shootings.At least 100 people were killed in Syria Friday, the highest toll in five weeks of unrest, when security forces shot protesters demanding political freedoms and an end to corruption in their country, ruled for 41 years by the Assad dynasty.Activists described Friday's killings as a turning point which exposed the hollowness of Assad's announcement that he was lifting a 48-year state of emergency and abolishing a hated state security court.At least 12 more people were killed Saturday at mass funerals for the slain protesters, and rights campaigners said secret police raided homes near Damascus just after midnight on Sunday, arresting activists in the area.
Assad assumed power when his father died in 2000 after ruling Syria for 30 years. The hostile chants in Nawa Sunday reflect a steady hardening of the demands of protesters who first called for greater freedoms but now seek his overthrow.Despite deepening his father Hafez al-Assad's anti-Israel alliance with Iran, clawing back Syrian influence in Lebanon and backing militant groups Hezbollah and Hamas, Assad has kept Syria's front line with Israel quiet and held indirect peace talks with the Jewish state.International condemnation of Assad has also intensified. Western criticism was initially muted because of lingering hopes that Assad might implement genuine reform and because revolution in Syria would reshape the political map in the Middle East.I deplore the increasing violence in Syria, and am appalled by the killing of demonstrators by Syrian security forces,British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Sunday, advising all British nationals to leave Syria.U.S. President Barack Obama urged Assad Friday to stop the outrageous use of violence to quell protests.Syrian authorities, who blame the violence on armed groups, dismissed Obama's comments.
NATIONWIDE PROTESTS
The weekend protests stretched from the port city of Latakia to Homs, Hama, Damascus, its suburbs and southern towns. The death toll rose to around 350, with scores of missing since the demonstrations broke out on March 18, rights campaigners said.An eminent jurists' group said Sunday the United Nations Security Council must investigate mass killings by the security forces which it said may warrant prosecution by the International Criminal Court.Those ordering and carrying out these attacks, including those firing live rounds into crowds, must be held criminally accountable, said Wilder Tayler, Secretary General of the International Commission of Jurists.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said dozens of people were arrested by security forces after the demonstrations Friday, including nine in Idlib province, four in Syria's second city of Aleppo and five in eastern Raqqa province.The violence in Nawa, a town of 60,000 residents in the southern Hauran Plain which was the cradle of Syria's uprising, broke out when residents tried to gather in protest Saturday, the witness at the funeral said.Security forces opened fire on protesters, who overran headquarters of the state and military security branches. Residents said four protesters were killed. The official SANA news agency, apparently referring to the same clashes, said seven army soldiers were killed by criminal armed groups.Assad has ejected most foreign media from the country, so independent reports of the violence are difficult to verify.Demonstrators have been using the Internet to get out pictures of the violence, many of which have been explicit.
One video posted on Internet site YouTube showed a crowd marching near Abbasside square in Damascus, purportedly on Friday, chanting the people want the overthrow of the regime,before the sound of gunfire was heard. Demonstrators raised their hands to show that they were unarmed. The fire intensified. One youth fell, with blood spurting from his head and back. His comrades lifted him but dropped his body when the sound of bullets resumed.In a move unthinkable in Syria just five weeks ago, two Deraa lawmakers in Syria's rubberstamp parliament resigned on Saturday to protest against the killings of protesters.(Additional reporting by Khaled Yacoub Oweis and Stephanie Nebehay in Geneva; Writing by Dominic Evans; Editing by Maria Golovnina)
Libya's Misrata comes under heavy bombardment: rebels
By Alexander Dziadosz - APR 24,11
BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) – Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi bombarded Misrata on Sunday, a day after rebels celebrated the pullback of government troops from the western Libyan city, a rebel spokesman said.The situation is very dangerous,rebel spokesman Abdelsalam said by telephone from Misrata.Gaddafi's brigades started random bombardment in the early hours of this morning. The bombardment is still going on.Captured government troops said on Saturday they had been ordered to retreat from Misrata -- the only major rebel-held city in western Libya -- after a siege of nearly two months, and rebels fighting to overthrow Gaddafi had claimed victory.But on Sunday, government forces bombarded three residential areas and the city center, including Tripoli Street, the thoroughfare which has been the scene of intense fighting in recent weeks, Abdelsalam said. Another rebel spokesman, Ahmed Hassan, said at least one person was killed and 12 wounded.Hundreds have been killed in the fighting for Misrata, raising fears of a humanitarian crisis in the besieged city.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov phoned Libyan Prime Minister Al-Baghdadi Ali al-Mahmoudi on Saturday to urge Tripoli to implement United Nations Security Council resolutions and end attacks on civilians.Lavrov said that the most important issue now is to stop the bloodshed and sufferings of the civilian population,the Russian foreign ministry said on its website on Sunday.
But rebels in their eastern stronghold Benghazi said they had no expectations of an early end to fighting in Misrata.I don't think this is a real withdrawal, rebel military spokesman Ahmed Bani told Reuters.He suggested government loyalists may be trying to stoke tensions between Misrata and neighboring towns, and that Gaddafi's troops might return to the city later under the guise of intervening to protect local tribes from the rebels.Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaim said on Friday the army would leave it to the tribes and the people around Misrata to deal with the situation whether by using force or using negotiations.British Foreign Secretary William Hague told the BBC he doubted Gaddafi's forces were really going to withdraw. This may be cover for using more insurgent type warfare without any uniforms and without tanks.
REBELS SAY THEY NEED WEAPONS
Britain and France have been leading air strikes against Gaddafi's forces in an operation mandated by the U.N. Security Council on March 17 to protect civilians in Libya.The United States has also deployed Predator drones, using the unmanned plane for the first time on Saturday to attack the site of a multiple rocket launcher near Misrata.Rebels have so far, however, been unable to advance from the east as they fight back-and-forth battles with Gaddafi's troops on the coastal road between the towns of Ajdabiyah and Brega.Rebel spokesman Bani said the rebels in the east were still outmatched by the superior firepower of Gaddafi's troops.If we obtain weapons, I think we would be able to solve this problem in maximum one month,he said. Western countries, reluctant to be further dragged into a conflict in a third Muslim country after wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, have been unwilling to arm the rebels. But Britain and France have said they will send military advisors and Italy is considering sending military trainers.Western powers have been bombing Libyan positions for more than a month. The United States, Britain and France say they will not stop their air war until Gaddafi leaves office.Given the stalemate in the east, the announcement that Gaddafi's troops were pulling out of Misrata was the first suggestion in weeks of a shift in the balance of the war.
On Saturday, rebels in Misrata celebrated their success.Misrata is free, the rebels have won. Of Gaddafi's forces, some are killed and others are running away,a rebel spokesmen said by telephone from the city.One government soldier, Khaled Dorman, among a group of 12 being brought to hospital for treatment in Misrata, told Reuters that, We have been told to withdraw. We were told to withdraw yesterday.But the mood of victory among the rebels appeared to be short-lived. By late on Saturday, Al Jazeera television reported that heavy fighting continued around a hospital in western Misrata being used as a base by Gaddafi's forces.
DIPLOMACY
Libya's official JANA news agency said on Saturday Prime Minister Mahmoudi held separate telephone conversations with Russia's Lavrov and Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou.While speaking with Papandreou he reiterated Libya's commitment to United Nations resolutions,JANA said.The Libyan government has repeatedly made calls for ceasefires but rebels say they are not matched by its actions.Russia, which has criticized Western air strikes, is prepared to work with the African Union and the U.N. to move the situation to political and diplomatic channels,the Russian foreign ministry said.Libyan Foreign Minister Abdelati Obeidi crossed into Tunisia on Saturday and then flew to the capital Tunis, a Tunisian security source said. It was not clear where Obeidi, who held talks in Cyprus earlier this month, would go next. Cypriot officials denied he was heading their way.(Additional reporting by Tim Castle in London and Lin Nouehid in Tripoli, writing by Myra MacDonald, editing by Jon Boyle)

THE TRUE GOD OF ISRAEL THE ONLY LEADER THAT EVER DIED AND CAME BACK TO LIFE (GOD IN THE FLESH)
MATTHEW 28:1-20 King James Bible
1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
JESUS' RESURRECTION LUKES ACCOUNT.
LUKE 24:1-53 King James Bible
1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8 And they remembered his words,
9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? 19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: 20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. 21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
NEXT RETURN JESUS FOR THE CHRISTIANS IS THE RAPTURE.WE MEET JESUS IN THE CLOUDS.THEN.
7 YEARS LATER,JESUS TAKES HIS THRONE IN JERUSALEM FOREVER.HE BODILY RETURNS FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH WITH THE RAPTURED CHRISTIANS WHO 7 YEARS EARLIER MET HIM IN THE CLOUDS.AND THEY RULE ON EARTH FOREVER WITH JESUS,WHILE JESUS RULES FROM HIS THRONE IN JERUSALEM FOREVER.TRUE PEACE ON EARTH.
Christians celebrate Easter in Jerusalem
APR 24,11
JERUSALEM – Christians from around the world are celebrating Easter Sunday in Jerusalem, marking the day of Jesus' resurrection in the holy city two millennia ago.
Orthodox Christians and Roman Catholics held ceremonies at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, revered as the site of Jesus' crucifixion and burial and of his resurrection on Easter Sunday.The different calendars of the churches coincide this year. Clergymen in ornate robes held processions through the ancient building, where the ceremonies of each church are carefully coordinated to avoid conflicts.
Protestants held their own Easter ceremonies outside the walled Old City at the Garden Tomb, which some identify as the site of Jesus' burial. Preachers spoke in English and rock bands accompanied worshippers in song.
In Easter message, pope urges diplomacy in Libya
By FRANCES D'EMILIO, Associated Press - APR 24,11
VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI offered an Easter prayer Sunday for diplomacy to prevail over warfare in Libya and for citizens of the Middle East to build a new society based on respect.He also called on Europeans to welcome refugees from North Africa.In heaven, all is peace and gladness. But, alas, all is not so on earth! the pope lamented as he delivered the traditional Urbi et Orbi message from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica to a crowd of more than 100,000 that overflowed from St. Peter's Square.In the current conflict in Libya, may diplomacy and dialogue replace arms, and may those who suffer as a result of the conflict be given access to humanitarian aid, he said.Referring to North Africa and the Middle East, the pope prayed that all citizens, especially young people, would work to promote the common good and to build a society where poverty is defeated and every political choice is inspired by respect for the human person.Uprisings, repression and civil warfare have triggered an exodus of people to Italian shores as well as other countries in the region. Europe has been split over whether to accept or deport tens of thousands of migrants, many of them from Libya and elsewhere in northern Africa.Benedict rallied to the side of refugees, urging people of good will to open their hearts to welcome them.Here, in this world of ours, the Easter alleluia still contrasts with the cries and laments that arise from so many painful situations: deprivation, hunger, disease, war, violence,said the pontiff, resplendent in gold-colored robes as he sat on a chair and read his speech in Italian.
This year, Easter fell on the same day in the Orthodox and Roman Catholic church calendars, and in Jerusalem, Orthodox and Catholics worshipped at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, revered as the site of Jesus' Good Friday crucifixion and burial and of his resurrection on Easter Sunday. Protestants held their own ceremonies outside the walled Old City at the Garden Tomb, which some identify as the site of Jesus' burial.In Cagliari, Sardinia, an Easter lunch of Sardinian cheese, pasta and lamb was served by Caritas, the Catholic charity, to some 20 Tunisians, the Italian news agency ANSA reported from the island. The diners were some of the more than 26,000 Tunisians who have clandestinely entered Italy since unrest in their homeland in January.Most are waiting for temporary travel documents from Italy they hope will let them reach France, where many have friends and relatives. France has warned the Tunisians they will be sent backed unless they have jobs or savings to support themselves.The dispute between Rome and Paris over the Tunisians' fate is expected to dominate much of an Italian-French summit in the Italian capital on Tuesday.
Appeals for solidarity like Benedict's are also words for those who keep the doors closed to the migrants, Monsignor Albert Mario Careggio, bishop of Ventimiglia, an Italian town near the French border, told Sky TG24 TV.In Rome, the drama of society's unwanted played out in one of the city's major basilicas, where some 150 Gypsies have taken refuge from city officials who are dismantling illegal Roma trailer settlements. The Gypsies say City Hall will split their families by sending women and children to a shelter in a Rome suburb but not men.In a sign of Easter solidarity, several dozen Romans brought food, diapers and milk for babies to the improvised refugee camp inside St. Paul Outside the Walls basilica.
The 84-year-old Benedict's voice cracked at times during the Mass, but he ended his two-hour appearance Sunday by reading aloud holiday greetings in 65 languages.Some 41,000 potted plants lined the square, including 10,000 narcissus plants, many of them in yellow and white, the official Vatican colors, arranged in neat, rows up the slope toward the altar.Benedict returns to the square in a week to lead a crowd expected to be at least double Easter's turnout when he beatifies John Paul, putting the Polish-born, long-serving pontiff on the last formal step before eventual sainthood. Alba Tobella in Vatican City, Paolo Santalucia in Rome, Saad Abdul-Kadir in Baghdad, and Raf Casert in Brussels contributed to this report.

THE TRUE GOD OF ISRAEL THE ONLY LEADER THAT EVER DIED AND CAME BACK TO LIFE (GOD IN THE FLESH)

2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Christians celebrate Easter in Jerusalem

JERUSALEM – Christians from around the world are celebrating Easter Sunday in Jerusalem, marking the day of Jesus' resurrection in the holy city two millennia ago.
Orthodox Christians and Roman Catholics held ceremonies at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, revered as the site of Jesus' crucifixion and burial and of his resurrection on Easter Sunday.The different calendars of the churches coincide this year. Clergymen in ornate robes held processions through the ancient building, where the ceremonies of each church are carefully coordinated to avoid conflicts.

In Easter message, pope urges diplomacy in Libya
By FRANCES D'EMILIO, Associated Press - APR 24,11
VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI offered an Easter prayer Sunday for diplomacy to prevail over warfare in Libya and for citizens of the Middle East to build a new society based on respect.He also called on Europeans to welcome refugees from North Africa.In heaven, all is peace and gladness. But, alas, all is not so on earth! the pope lamented as he delivered the traditional Urbi et Orbi message from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica to a crowd of more than 100,000 that overflowed from St. Peter's Square.In the current conflict in Libya, may diplomacy and dialogue replace arms, and may those who suffer as a result of the conflict be given access to humanitarian aid, he said.Referring to North Africa and the Middle East, the pope prayed that all citizens, especially young people, would work to promote the common good and to build a society where poverty is defeated and every political choice is inspired by respect for the human person.Uprisings, repression and civil warfare have triggered an exodus of people to Italian shores as well as other countries in the region. Europe has been split over whether to accept or deport tens of thousands of migrants, many of them from Libya and elsewhere in northern Africa.Benedict rallied to the side of refugees, urging people of good will to open their hearts to welcome them.Here, in this world of ours, the Easter alleluia still contrasts with the cries and laments that arise from so many painful situations: deprivation, hunger, disease, war, violence,said the pontiff, resplendent in gold-colored robes as he sat on a chair and read his speech in Italian.
This year, Easter fell on the same day in the Orthodox and Roman Catholic church calendars, and in Jerusalem, Orthodox and Catholics worshipped at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, revered as the site of Jesus' Good Friday crucifixion and burial and of his resurrection on Easter Sunday. Protestants held their own ceremonies outside the walled Old City at the Garden Tomb, which some identify as the site of Jesus' burial.In Cagliari, Sardinia, an Easter lunch of Sardinian cheese, pasta and lamb was served by Caritas, the Catholic charity, to some 20 Tunisians, the Italian news agency ANSA reported from the island. The diners were some of the more than 26,000 Tunisians who have clandestinely entered Italy since unrest in their homeland in January.Most are waiting for temporary travel documents from Italy they hope will let them reach France, where many have friends and relatives. France has warned the Tunisians they will be sent backed unless they have jobs or savings to support themselves.The dispute between Rome and Paris over the Tunisians' fate is expected to dominate much of an Italian-French summit in the Italian capital on Tuesday.
Appeals for solidarity like Benedict's are also words for those who keep the doors closed to the migrants, Monsignor Albert Mario Careggio, bishop of Ventimiglia, an Italian town near the French border, told Sky TG24 TV.In Rome, the drama of society's unwanted played out in one of the city's major basilicas, where some 150 Gypsies have taken refuge from city officials who are dismantling illegal Roma trailer settlements. The Gypsies say City Hall will split their families by sending women and children to a shelter in a Rome suburb but not men.In a sign of Easter solidarity, several dozen Romans brought food, diapers and milk for babies to the improvised refugee camp inside St. Paul Outside the Walls basilica.
The 84-year-old Benedict's voice cracked at times during the Mass, but he ended his two-hour appearance Sunday by reading aloud holiday greetings in 65 languages.Some 41,000 potted plants lined the square, including 10,000 narcissus plants, many of them in yellow and white, the official Vatican colors, arranged in neat, rows up the slope toward the altar.Benedict returns to the square in a week to lead a crowd expected to be at least double Easter's turnout when he beatifies John Paul, putting the Polish-born, long-serving pontiff on the last formal step before eventual sainthood. Alba Tobella in Vatican City, Paolo Santalucia in Rome, Saad Abdul-Kadir in Baghdad, and Raf Casert in Brussels contributed to this report.
