Azerbaijan, Baku, 5 February / Тrend corr E. Huseynli / An earthquake occurred in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan (NAR) on 5 February at 5.30pm local time. The earthquake epi-centre was located in Iran. The power of the earth tremors in the NAR measured 2 on the Richter scale, Gurban Yetirmishli, the Deputy Director of the Seismological Centre at the Azerbaijani National Academy of Sciences, said to Trend on 5 February. One notable earthquake has occurred in Azerbaijan this year. It took place in Sheki in mid January and resulted in no victims or destructions. The earthquake in the NAR also caused no victims or destructions, Yetirmishli said.

Storm shuts down B.C. ferries and highways FEB 05,08

EDMONTON (CBC) - A Pacific storm is shutting down ferry service in B.C., cutting off power in some coastal areas and making conditions treacherous on northern highways.Environment Canada says the intense frontal system will cross the coast on Tuesday, bringing high winds to many coastal areas and snow to the northern and central interior.B.C. Ferries cancelled sailings on the following routes on Tuesday morning:- Swartz Bay - Tsawwassen- Campbell River - Quadra Island- Quadra Island - Cortes Island- Comox - Powell River.

Meanwhile heavy snow wrought havoc on roads across northern and central B.C. and travel advisories due to snow and limited visibility have been issued for highways north of Prince George.The RCMP say there are numerous crashes along the Alaska Highway, north of Fort St. John, where the roads are in poor conditions and visibility is limited.Police are urging motorists to avoid travel unless absolutely necessary and all truck drivers to use chains.
Officials at School District 60 in the north Peace River District said all school buses would leave their schools three hours early to take students home due to blizzard conditions.

Companies cleaning up after storm
Tue Feb 5, 1:50 PM


PRINCE.EDWARD.ISLAND (CBC) - Cleaning and restoration companies are reporting a brisk business following last week's ice storm on P.E.I.
The calls for repairs began before the storm even ended and continue to flood in, Jodi Getson, operations manager of Ezi-Way Disaster Clean-up and Restoration in Charlottetown, told CBC News Tuesday.We've been dealing with everything from burst pipes to flooded basements. In some cases, we've had some people with problems with their furnaces that caused blow-backs.Getson said the calls cover a wide variety of things - trees falling on houses, so exterior damage, just a various grouping of claims from what Mother Nature dished out this week.Getson said staff have been putting in long hours to get the extra work done.Darryl Adams, manager of Servicemaster in Charlottetown, said his company has been busy, too.

We're getting some frozen pipes and whatnot, more out around the Cavendish, New London area, out there and also farther west: Alberton, Tignish, O'Leary, that area.Roofers are also reporting brisk business, as freezing rain caused ice dams and water backup under shingles.

Diarrhoea outbreak kills 64 in flood-hit Mozambique
Tue Feb 5, 9:23 AM


MAPUTO (AFP) - An outbreak of diarrhoea in a flood-hit city in central Mozambique has claimed the lives of 64 people since early January, the local council said on Tuesday.The municipal authority in the city of Tete said that a total of 835 people had contracted diarrhoea from contaminated water since the flooding began at the start of the year.Sixty-four of that total have not survived, the council's statement said.Around a dozen Mozambicans have been drowned and tens of thousands have lost their homes in the floods that have also affected parts of neighbouring Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi.

Severe storm threat will shift east tomorrow Buzz Bernard
FEB 5,08


South

A squall line, in tandem with a cold front, will slice eastward through the Southeast tomorrow. A few severe storms with strong, damaging winds will be embedded in the line. Isolated tornadoes can't be ruled out, either, although the threat of twisters should be less than today's in the central U.S. Near sunrise, the squall line is expected to extend from eastern Tennessee through Alabama, and by evening should stretch from the central Carolinas to north Florida. High temperatures are forecast to range from the 30s in far northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas (behind the front) to the 80s on the Florida Peninsula and in a small area of eastern North Carolina (ahead of the front).

Northeast

A storm system churning through the Northeast tomorrow will deliver a full gamut of weather: everything from severe storms to ice and snow. The snow, perhaps exceeding half-a-foot in some areas, will be found primarily in northern New York state and northern New England. South of there, a mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow is likely from the southern tier of New York into central New England. In Pennsylvania, southeastern New York, northern New Jersey and southern New England, rain will prevail, and some of it could be heavy. In West Virginia and Virginia, showers and thunderstorms will march eastward during the day, but probably will not reach the Delmarva Peninsula and eastern Virginia by sunset. A few nasty thunderstorms packing powerful wind gusts may rumble over areas from Pennsylvania and New Jersey southward. High temperatures are forecast to range from the 20s in the extreme northern reaches of New York and New England to the 70s in eastern Virginia.

Midwest

In the wake of a low pressure center swirling from the lower Midwest into the Northeast tomorrow, snow will continue to fall from Missouri east-northeastward into Michigan. Snow in the Show Me State will be light and tapering off, but up to a half-foot (in addition to whatever falls tonight) could pile up in central Michigan. Farther west, a few snow showers or flurries could develop over North Dakota, western South Dakota and northwest Nebraska. During the morning, the threat of a few severe thunderstorms may linger over the southern two-thirds of Ohio and eastern Kentucky. Encouraged by blustery westerly winds in the wake of the storms, temperatures across the lower Midwest will hold steady or backslide throughout the day. Overall, highs will range from the teens in parts of the Upper Midwest to the 60s in southeastern Kentucky.

West

Rain and snow showers will dominate the northern half of the West tomorrow, although steadier precipitation will develop in western Washington and western Oregon by afternoon as the next Pacific front sweeps toward the coast. Snow levels in the Northwest will start out quite low, less than 1000 feet, but rise a little as the front approaches. S now in the Cascades will be showery in the morning, but then increase in intensity by evening. High temperatures will be near to below seasonal averages, ranging from the teens in the Rockies to near 70 around Yuma, Arizona.

Millions in China to greet new year without power By Chris Buckley Tue Feb 5, 10:06 AM ET

KAILI, China (Reuters) - Millions of Chinese are likely to spend the biggest holiday of the year without power and water after more than a week of wild winter weather that shut down transport links across large parts of the country. The freezing weather in the run-up to the Lunar New Year break, which begins on Wednesday and offers the only chance for many poor migrant workers to visit loved ones, has killed scores of people.Railways and highways were returning to normal across China on Tuesday but millions are still trying to catch trains, planes and buses to see family in what is normally one of the greatest annual migrations of humanity. Millions more have given up making the journey home.In the southwestern province of Yunnan, four teenagers were found dead after going missing in a snowstorm near the Myanmar border, the official Xinhua news agency said. But soldiers found three other members of the same party alive.Whole cities have had their power and water cut off for more than a week and so far 11 electricians have been killed trying to reconnect lines or break ice encasing poles and cables.

Chenzhou, a city of about 4 million in the central province of Hunan, began its 11th day without power on Tuesday, with people lining up at fire hydrants with buckets to get water.The State Electricity Regulatory Commission said it intended to restore power to 80 percent of affected households in the next few days. Supply to the rest of the families would be resumed by tapping some 2,670 diesel-fired generating vehicles.Kaili, with a population of half a million in the subtropical southern province of Guizhou, was cut off for several days by thick ice and hail.On the road from the provincial capital Guiyang, many areas were still covered in thick ice with pine trees wilting or broken under the weight. Television showed downed powerlines and towers.Kaili and other larger county capitals are receiving electricity, but officials and locals say many villagers in the countryside remain without power and there could be many days if not weeks before it is restored.

CANDLE LIGHT

The situation has been improving with all the outside assistance, but fixing supplies to smaller towns and villages will take a long time, said engineer Zhang Xuejiang.But for many locals, the biggest headache is skyrocketing prices with pork, rice, vegetables and other staples doubling in price, or going even higher.Army and civilian trucks are bringing in diesel generators and boxes of blankets and food.The electricity is back on now, but the problems certainly aren't all over, said a vendor named Xu Song. Food is so expensive.Japan said on Tuesday it would give 57 million yen ($533,800) worth of emergency aid, including blankets and power generators, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.The snow has been falling in China's eastern, central and southern regions since mid-January, bringing down houses, destroying crops and holding up vital coal supplies.Another headache for residents in and around Kaili, with telephone connections either ruptured or weak, has been trying to trace family members planning to return for the holiday.

Zhang Dehua, waiting for his son at Kaili station, had called him a couple of days ago but hadn't heard of him since. I was hoping he would be on that train but I don't think he was, he said forlornly. I will just have to wait for the next one and maybe the next one.At noon on Tuesday, service at two railway stations in the southern city of Guangzhou was back to normal after 11 days of chaos, according to the Guangzhou Railway Group Corp. About 3.5 million people left the province by train by Tuesday noon, and basically, all the passengers who held tickets but had been stranded at different railway stations have left, a spokesman was quoted by Xinhua as saying. About 350,000 train passengers left Beijing on Monday, 20,000 more than on Sunday, according to a spokesman with the Beijing Railway Bureau. He said that rail stations in the capital would probably see usage peak on Tuesday. On the roads, a major north-south trunk road, the Beijing-Zhuhai expressway, was back to normal after de-icing work by 1,200 troops and police. The China Meteorological Administration said on Monday the weather was the coldest in 100 years in central Hubei and Hunan provinces but it expected milder conditions ahead.

Exploding black holes could expose hidden dimensions
18:48 05 February 2008 NewScientist.com news service Ker Than


Cosmic flares shot from exploding black holes could provide long-sought proof of extra spatial dimensions, new calculations suggest.
Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes evaporate through a quantum process known as Hawking evaporation and can explode in brief bursts of energy before vanishing completely.Only mini-black holes roughly as massive as an asteroid or smaller would be able to evaporate completely within the lifetime of the universe. And such tiny black holes may have been created in large numbers within 1 second of the big bang, as elementary particles clumped together at extreme energies.
Now, researchers led by Michael Kavic of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, US, say the evaporation of such primordial black holes could emit detectable radiation – if the universe contains additional dimensions beyond the familiar three of space and one of time. Such extra dimensions are predicted in some theories that try to unify gravity and quantum mechanics, such as string theory.

In the presence of extra dimensions, black holes would wrap around these extra dimensions to form black strings.You can envision this as a rubber band wrapped around a fire hose, Kavic told New Scientist. As the black hole evaporates, it eventually becomes too small to wrap the extra dimension.Unique pulseHe and colleagues predict that when a black string snaps, it will expose the extra dimension by creating a pulse of radiation with a unique electromagnetic signature. We would know them if we saw them, Kavic told New Scientist.By analysing the frequency of the pulse, scientists could calculate the size of the extra dimension, which could lend insight into which cosmological model best describes the universe. The size of the black string is directly related to the size of the extra dimension at the time of the explosion, Kavic says.

The team says the light pulses could be detected by radio telescopes capable of scanning the entire sky in one sweep, such as Virginia Tech's Eight-meter-wavelength Transient Array.
Traditional radio telescopes only focus on a very small part of the sky at any one time, Kavic said. This means that they could easily have missed these kinds of pulses.Good timingThe new test comes at an opportune time, says Charles Keeton, an astronomer at Rutgers University in New Jersey, US: Our ability to observe exploding black holes is limited only by the sensitivity of our radio telescopes, and that is getting better.But while much theoretical work has been done on primordial black holes and extra dimensions, their existence remains unproven.The big question is whether such black holes are produced in the first place, says Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US. In principle, it's possible to make such black holes, but in the standard model of cosmology, it is not natural.

There are a lot of layers here of nonstandard assumptions, Loeb told New Scientist. If nothing could be observed in this context, then it would not surprise me.While definitely a gamble, the payoffs from such a search would be enormous, Kavic argues. The successful detection of the kind of black hole explosion the team predicts would confirm not only the existence of extra dimensions, but also of primordial black holes and Hawking evaporation.All three of these are quantum gravitational phenomena [and] would drastically alter our view of space-time and the fundamental nature of our universe, Kavic says.The team has submitted the study to Physical Review Letters.

Spanish King Juan Carlos holds talks in Egypt to boost ties Tue, 05 Feb 2008 15:20:07 GMT Author : DPA

Cairo - King Juan Carlos of Spain, on an official visit to Cairo, held talks Tuesday with Egyptian President Hosny Mubarak and other top leaders over boosting ties and sealing a strategic bilateral treaty. The Spanish monarch and Mubarak discussed the treaty - the second of its kind between Spain and a country south of the Mediterranean - which would boost ties to an unprecedented level, Egyptian foreign Minister Ahmed Abul-Gheit said. Economic agreements were also signed, including a financial protocol, under which a 375-million-dollar Spanish fund would be spent on infrastructure projects in Egypt, Abul-Gheit explained. The King and Queen Sophia of Spain will open Tuesday evening an exhibition entitled Ibn-Khaldun in Andalusia, which reflects the historic ties between Spain and the Islamic world. Ibn-Khaldun was a 14th century Muslim sociologist, who had lived between Muslim Spain and North Africa. respective author or news agency.

Iran launches its 1st space rocket,Talks underway to buy advanced Russian air-defense system February 4, 2008 1:17 p.m. Eastern By Jerome R. Corsi 2008 WorldNetDaily.com

Iranian leaders watch last year's rocket launch, which failed to reach orbit. Today, Tehran claimed it achieved success.
Iran today conducted its first successful space-rocket launch, with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on hand to order the takeoff and inaugurate the country's space center, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency. Government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham, who also observed the launch of Researcher-1 today, announced Iran soon plans to send its first satellite into space, the Omid. Tehran claims the satellite is made in Iran and intended for research.

The Iranian Student News Agency said the Omid would be launched in the next Iranian calendar year, which begins March 20. Today's launch, the news agency said, enters Iran in the ranks of 11 countries that have sent a rocket into space. One year ago, Iran launched a domestically built rocket that failed to reach orbit level. Western observers continue to express concern that the space program could be a cover for Iran's attempt to develop a military ballistics missile program capable of delivering an atomic warhead.

Today's launch may also have been timed to answer Israel's successful test of a new long-range missile propulsion engine Jan. 17 at the IDF's Palmachim Air Force Base.

Moscow to deliver?

In a separate development, the Russian news agency RIA Novosti published a report Friday that Iran was continuing to negotiate with the Russian government for the delivery of an advanced S-300 air defense missile system to Iran. Iran's determination to defend nuclear and military sites with advanced Russian-built surface-to-air missile systems is widely viewed as an attempt to harden the targets against air and missile attacks by the U.S. or Israel. In December, Iranian Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar announced Iran and Russia had signed a contract under which Moscow promised to deliver an unspecified number of S-300s to Iran.

Subsequently, a statement from Russia's Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation raised doubts about Najjar's claim, issuing a statement that delivery of the missiles was not a subject of current negotiations. According to RIA Novosti, the advanced version of the S-300 system, the S-300PMU1, or SA-20 Gargoyle, has a range of over 150 kilometers, about 93 miles, and can intercept ballistic missiles and aircraft at both low and high altitudes.
According to Israeli news reports, the S-300s are effective against cruise missiles and ballistic warheads and are equivalent to the PAC-3 Patriot missile, though Russian military officials contend the S-300 is of a higher operational standard than the U.S.-built Patriot missiles currently used by Israel. One year ago, WND reported Russia had begun delivery to Iran of 29 TOR M-1 mobile surface-to-air missile defense missiles in a $1 billion deal with Iran. The S-300 is considered a major improvement over the TOR M-1 system now in place in Iran defending multiple nuclear and military sites.

Russian space cargo ship launched FEB 05,08

MOSCOW - An unmanned Russian cargo ship carrying over 2.75 tons of supplies, equipment and gifts blasted off Tuesday for the international space station, officials said. The Progress M-63 lifted off at 4:03 p.m from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, said Russia's Mission Control spokesman, Valery Lyndin said.The launch was conducted without a hitch and the ship has successfully entered a designated orbit on its way to the station, Lyndin said. The ship is due to dock at the station Thursday.It is carrying oxygen, water and food, including honey, fruit and vegetables for the crew — U.S. astronauts Peggy Whitson and Daniel Tani and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko. It is also delivering scientific equipment and experiments, Lyndin said.

Russia angry at Poland's preliminary OK to US missile shield
04.02.2008 - 09:25 CET | By Renata Goldirova


Reviving World War II rhetoric, Russia has warned Poland against hosting a US missile defence shield after Warsaw last week agreed in principle to host parts of the system on its territory.The Polish colleagues must be reminded of their recent history, which indicates that attempts to place Poland 'on the confrontation line' have always led to tragedies. That way, Poland lost nearly one third of its citizens during World War II, Russia's envoy to NATO Dmitry Rogozin told Russian news agency Interfax on Sunday (3 February).He added: I was sure this horrible lesson would not be wasted and Poland would plan its foreign policy relying on friendly relations all along the borderline.Mr Rogozin's tough-worded comments come shortly after Polish foreign minister Radek Sikorski indicated last Friday (1 February) that Warsaw was warming up to the idea of hosting US interceptor missiles on its soil. We are not at the end of the road as regards negotiations, Mr Sikorski said during his visit to Washington, adding: We are in the middle of the road. We have an agreement in principle.Comments from US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice suggest that the US has agreed to strengthen Poland's own defences, meaning an extensive overhaul of its air defences - something that has been a key demand put forward by the current Polish administration.

We understand that there is a desire for defence modernisation in Poland and particularly for air-defence modernization, said Ms Rice, adding: this is something that we support because it will make our ally, Poland, more capable.The Bush administration wants to deploy ten interceptor missiles on Polish territory and a radar base in the Czech Republic, claiming such a military base would defend the two continents, America and Europe, from rogue states such as Iran and North Korea. The military base is expected to be fully operational by 2013. But the Kremlin, which dominated the Central Europe until 1989, has long been suspicious of the US missile defence plans for the region. It believes the military system is to be directed against Russia. Russian president Vladimir Putin has already responded by freezing his country's commitments under the 1990 Conventional Forces in Europe (CEF) treaty, which sets limits on the number of conventional weapons and military deployments across the continent. According to Mr Rogozin, Poland failed to fulfil its previous promise to tackle the issue in dialogue with Washington, Brussels and Moscow. It is obvious now, that the dialogue with Moscow has ended having not even started, generally speaking, he told Interfax. Later this week (8 February), Donald Tusk will make his first visit to Moscow. In March, he is to visit the White House. The missile defence shield issue is to dominate both high-level meetings.2008 EUobserver

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Stocks plunge on service sector weakness By MADLEN READ, AP Business Writer FEB 5,08

NEW YORK - Wall Street plunged Tuesday, driving the Dow Jones industrials down 370 points after investors saw an unexpected contraction in the service sector as evidence the economy is sinking into recession. It was the Dow's biggest percentage drop in almost a year. The volatility that pummeled stocks in January returned with the news that the service sector shrank last month for the first time since March 2003. The report from the Institute for Supply Management wiped out the nascent optimism about the economy that had sent stocks surging higher last week.The report drives a nail into the coffin from investors' minds that we're in a recession, said Todd Salamone, director of trading at Schaeffer's Investment Research. That doesn't mean stock prices in the months ahead will be lower. But when you see headline numbers like this, there tends to be a reactionary sell.The ISM said its index of service sector activity, which accounts for about two-thirds of the economy, dropped below 50, a level that indicates contraction. The market had expected another month of growth, and the disappointment contributed to Tuesday's $500 billion loss in the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index, an index that measures the movement in 5,000 U.S. stocks.Alongside the Labor Department's report last week showing the first monthly U.S. jobs decline in more than four years, the data on the service sector — which includes businesses ranging from restaurants to retailers to banks — was particularly worrisome to investors.

Though Wall Street hopes the Federal Reserve will keep slashing interest rates to stoke the economy, some believe the central bank, which lowered rates 1.25 percent in just over a week last month, acted too late. Rate cuts take several months to take effect, and moreover, many analysts are skeptical that rate cuts are the correct remedy for an economy saddled with bad debt in the wake of a housing market implosion.Fitch Ratings' plans to lower the rating on more than $100 billion wrapped up in bond funds called collateralized debt obligations added to the host of concerns plaguing Wall Street. Downgrades would mean the securities — many of which are backed by mortgages — are worth even less than many investors thought. That could cause more problems for strugging banks, brokerages, and bond insurers hurt by investments in mortgages that went sour.The Dow fell 370.03, or 2.93 percent, to 12,265.13, after falling 108 points on Monday. Tuesday's slide was the blue chip index's largest one-day percentage drop since it lost 3.3 percent on Feb. 27, 2007, and its largest point drop since it fell 387 points last Aug. 9.The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 44.18, or 3.20 percent, closing at 1,336.64, while the Nasdaq composite index tumbled 73.28, or 3.08 percent, to 2,309.57.In Monday and Tuesday's trading, the Dow gave up most of the gains it made last week, when it jumped 536 points, or 4.39 percent, in a burst of optimism about the economy. It's not surprising that the volatile market would pull back on any bad economic news — but some analysts claim stocks should be near their bottom given how low investors sentiment is right now.According to JPMorgan equities analyst Thomas J. Lee, the three worst readings on record in the ISM's service sector index are associated with stocks rising in the ensuing three months — on average, by 6 percent.

Even if the stock market is near its low point, though, it has a lot of ground to recover. The Dow is down more than 13 percent since its Oct. 9 record settlement of 14,164.53. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 — the measure most watched by market professionals — is down 8.9 percent for the year, the worst year-to-date performance for the index ever. The S&P 500 has fallen 14.6 percent from its Oct. 9 high.Bond prices jumped as investors sought the safety of government-backed debt. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, sank to 3.58 percent from 3.64percent late Monday.The ISM report is particularly alarming, said Bernard Baumohl, managing director of the Economic Outlook Group LLC. Because Americans will not pare back spending significantly on necessary services like health care and transportation, January's rapid decline in service sector activity suggests that investors may have underestimated how damaged the economy is, he wrote in a research note.On Tuesday, the biggest losers in the stock market were banks, which have already suffered huge losses in their investment portfolios last year and are now socking billions of dollars away to prepare for debt-burdened consumers to stop making payments.Dow component Citigroup Inc. fell $2.17, or 7.4 percent, to $27.05, while JPMorgan Chase & Co., another Dow component, fell $2.33, or 5 percent, to $44.28. Washington Mutual Inc. fell $1.08, or 5.6 percent, to $18.08; Bank of America Corp. fell $1.66, or 3.8 percent, to $42.37; and Wachovia Corp. fell $1.35, or 3.8 percent, to $34.18.When you have the financials in intensive care such as they are, for any economy like ours, they must heal, said Quincy Krosby, chief investment strategist at the Hartford. They drew us into this; they must lead us out.Light, sweet crude oil declined $1.61 to $88.41 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, as traders bet that a slower economy would dampen energy demand. An extended drop in energy prices could aid businesses that are finding their supply costs are rising, but that their customers are having trouble taking on price increases.

The dollar rose against other major currencies, while gold prices fell. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 21.88, or 3.02 percent, to 701.58. Stocks overseas also retreated. Japan's Nikkei stock average fell 0.82 percent; Hong Kong's Hang Seng index fell 0.89 percent; Britain's FTSE 100 fell 2.63 percent; Germany's DAX index fell 3.36 percent; and France's CAC-40 fell 3.96 percent.

Oil Drops Below $89 on Recession Fears
By GEORGE JAHN – FEB 5,08


VIENNA, Austria (AP) — Oil prices slumped Tuesday, dragged down by persistent concerns about the U.S. economy and global stock market declines.Energy investors often view stocks as a proxy for economic growth, and in some recent sessions, movements in the oil market have closely followed that of global equities.Light, sweet crude for March delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange lost $1.41 to $88.61 a barrel in electronic trading by aftenoon in Europe.

Brent crude declined 68 cents to $89.79 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.On Monday, the Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 100 points as investors cashed in profits from the market's best week in nearly five years. On Tuesday, Japan's Nikkei stock average closed down 0.82 percent and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index fell 0.89 percent. In Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.61 percent in morning trading, while Germany's DAX index fell 0.84 percent and France's CAC-40 lost 1.30 percent.The market is in uncertain territory as worries about the economy in the U.S. continue to weigh — it's unclear how deep the recession will be, if there is a recession, said Victor Shum, an energy analyst with Purvin & Gertz in Singapore.Meanwhile, the market tends to move in tandem with global equities markets.Oil prices should drop further in the coming weeks as demand diminishes with the end of the Northern Hemisphere winter, Shum said.We're entering the shoulder season between the Northern Hemisphere winter, which is ending, and before the U.S. summer driving season ... pricing should soften, he said.

The Schork Report, edited by energy analyst Stephen Schork, said at least one market mover — OPEC — already appeared to have made up its mind about the state of the U.S. economy, with bullish consequences likely.Noting that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries at its Vienna meeting last week had referred to a full-blown U.S. financial crisis, the news letter concluded that with demand, both seasonal and economic, for crude oil drying up, the odds of a cut when OPEC meets again next month are shortening. The March crude contract rose $1.06 to settle at $90.02 a barrel on Monday in New York after the U.S. government reported strong data on factory orders, raising hope that the world's largest economy will dodge a recession that would curtail demand for energy.A temporary closure of the Houston Shipping Channel and a ship channel near Port Arthur, Texas, both key waterways used to transport crude oil to Texas refineries, also pushed prices higher Monday.

Also supporting prices Monday were new reports of violence in northern Iraq and Nigeria. Turkish warplanes bombed 70 Kurdish rebel sites in northern Iraq, while a Nigerian rebel group attacked security forces near a Royal Dutch Shell PLC oil-pumping station, killing three soldiers. Violence in both regions contributed to oil's rise to US$100 a barrel earlier this year.Heating oil and gasoline fell by close to 3 cents to $2.4569 and $2.2820 a gallon, while gasoline natural gas futures added nearly 4 cents to fetch $7.905 per 1,000 cubic feet.Associated Press Writer Gillian Wong contributed to this report from Singapore

Economist: Expect Fed to lower Dow to 8,000. Critic claims agreements involving billions used to shift market FEB 5, 2008
1:00 a.m. Eastern By Jerome R. Corsi 2008 WorldNetDaily.com


Consumers should expect a deep recession, triggered by the stealth methodology of the Federal Reserve to depress the market even while lowering interest rates in an ostensible effort to stimulate economic growth, an economic analyst charges. The Federal Reserve is directly involved in manipulating the stock market, said Mike Bolser in a telephone interview with WND yesterday. The New York Stock Exchange finished the day down 108 points, closing at 12,635, much as Bolser predicted, despite recent emergency Fed rate cuts of 1.25 percentage points aimed at stimulating the economy. Fed wants the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other financial indicators to descend in a managed way, Bolser said. The Fed wants to drive the DJIA toward the 8,000 level, or below, in order to help create a deep recession which will have the effect of slowing consumption across the board and dampening the otherwise harmful effects of inflation. A falling DOW is only one element of the recession effects of the excessive Fed-created housing and credit creation, whose bubbles are now bursting, he added. Without this recession, we would be on quick trip to hyper-inflation, Bolser, the author of an internationally followed newsletter published in conjunction with his InterventionalAnalysis.com website, said, and the Fed wants to prevent this.

In his twice-daily subscription newsletter, Bolser has devised a quantitative methodology for utilizing Federal Reserve repurchase agreements to predict upward and downward movements of the DJIA, measured on a 30-day moving average. Yesterday, Bolser noted the Fed added $18 billion to repurchase agreements, edging the pool up to a total of $153.158 billion in unexpired temporary repurchase agreements.Repurchase agreements involve a sophisticated use of government securities issued every day by the Fed, but little understood or followed, even by sophisticated investors. A repurchase agreement, as defined by the Fed, is a government security offered by the federal government to a small list of specified primary government securities dealers, for a limited period of time, usually 28 days or less, with overnight return being the most common. The government securities are rented by the primary dealers and they can be added to the primary dealer's portfolio or collateralized and then used in the open market to implement the Fed's open market policy. At the end of the repurchase agreement, the Fed obligates itself to take back the government securities from the primary dealers, effectively canceling the contract.

Meanwhile, while holding the government securities let out by the Fed in the repo agreement, primary dealers are free to utilize the liquidity provided by the repurchase agreement to manipulate the economy in accordance with the Fed's true monetary policy, whether publicly declared or not. Primary dealers use the funds provided by the government securities they hold under the repurchase agreements to buy dollar exchange futures contracts, stock market futures, or to buy commodities contracts, including gold mining shares. All of this is in accord with implementing Federal Reserve monetary policy to manipulate currency, commodity and stock markets up or down, depending on the goals the Fed wants to accomplish at any particular time, the economist alleges. Over the past several months, however, the Fed has implemented a policy to issue smaller amounts of daily repurchase agreements, with the goal of reducing the total pool of repurchase agreements available to the Fed's short list of 20 banks that it qualifies to serve as primary government securities dealers participating in the Fed's Open Market Operations. Only the 20 banks specified in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's list of primary government securities dealers are allowed to participate in Fed repurchase agreements.

The primary government security dealer banks are like a private club, Bolser told WND. You get to stay in the club as long as you take the repurchase agreements and enter the markets to implement Fed monetary policy the way the Fed wants it implemented. Violate the unspoken rules, and you risk being thrown out of the club.
Yesterday's $18 billion addition to the repurchase agreement pool caused the total amount of the outstanding repurchase agreement pool to remain below the Dow's 30-day moving average in a clear trend. Bolser used this data to predict the Fed was manipulating the stock market lower, a controversial prediction when most economists see the Fed's emergency actions to reduce the target Fed Funds rate 1.25 percentage points lower over an eight-day period that ended with last Wednesday's meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee. Ultimately, the government is in the business of inflating the dollar, Bolser said, so the Fed is trying to engineer a recession, in order to cushion the pernicious effects of its own inflation.In my view, the government intentionally desires a deep recession not unlike that of the 1930s, he continued. The Fed, however, dissembles, attempting to display the opposite impression with its rate cuts.

Cutting rates will not boost the economy in an environment where the credit bubble has burst and banks are afraid to lend, he explained. But decreasing the repurchase pool will push the economy down, especially when the primary banks execute monetary policy in accordance with the wishes of the Fed to short the market with future contracts that push the indices down.Bolser argued the Fed's ability to manipulate the market by increasing or decreasing the pool of available repurchase agreements amounts to a stealth methodology where the Fed can now depress the market, while implementing a policy of lowering interest rates, which most economists would see as trying to stimulate economic growth and the stock market. You have to remember the primary goal of the Fed is to support the bond market, which the Fed has done for quarter century, Bolser stressed. The Fed needs a strong bond market so the Treasury can sell the enormous amount of Treasury securities, especially to China, that we need to sell to finance what this year may be as large as a $400 billion dollar budget deficit calculated on a cash basis.As a result, the friend of the Fed is the bond speculator, he added. Among the U.S. banks and securities firms currently on the list are Bank of America Securities, Cantor Fitzgerald, Countrywide Securities, Bear Stearns, Daiwa Securities America, Goldman Sachs, Greenwich Capital Markets, HSBC Securities (USA), J.P. Morgan Securities, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch Government Securities and Morgan Stanley. Also on the list are France's BNP Paribas Securities, Great Britain's Barclays Capital, Switzerland's Credit Suisse Securities, Japan's Mizuho Securities and Germany's Dresden Kleinwort Wasserstein Securities. These dealers are the foot soldiers of the Fed, as it implements monetary policy, Bolser said. Studying Bolser’s Repos/DOW chart from Dec. 7 through yesterday, a broad correlation between the downward movement in the Fed repurchase agreements pool totals and the DJIA as seen by tracking the 30-day moving average is clear. With this strategy, the Fed hopes we won't experience the extreme 'stag-flation' we had in the late 1970s, he argues. The Fed hopes to induce a recession to manage downward stock prices and commodity prices, including oil, gold, copper, and lumber, as well as the overall consumer demand for retail goods.Stag-flation is an unusual economic situation in which economic stagnation is combined with inflation. Some economics believe that is happening now as the economy slows down while food and energy prices rise sharply.

Huckabee wins all 18 W.Va. delegates FEB 5,08

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Mike Huckabee won the first contest declared on Super Tuesday, picking up all 18 national delegates awarded at West Virginia's state GOP convention. Huckabee bested Mitt Romney, who entered the Mountain State event with the largest bloc of pledged convention-goers. Both men and Ron Paul made in-person appeals to the more than 1,100 convention delegates attending Tuesday's convention. But the former Arkansas governor beat his Massachusetts counterpart after delegates for John McCain defected to his side.

The first round of voting at the state convention produced no winner, but eliminated Paul after his fourth-place finish.The results are the first from the 21 states with GOP primaries or caucuses Tuesday.Arizona Sen. John McCain challenged his remaining rivals for control of the Republican presidential race Tuesday in primaries and caucuses from Connecticut to California. Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama vied for delegates in a grueling campaign with no end in sight.After an early series of low-delegate, single-state contests, Super Tuesday was anything but — primaries and caucuses spread across nearly half the country in the most wide-open presidential campaign in memory.McCain was the Republican front-runner, all but unchallenged in winner-take-all primaries in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and his home state of Arizona.Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, struggling to sustain his candidacy, concentrated on Missouri and California as well as several caucuses states.Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee concentrated in a swath of Southern and border states. Texas Rep. Ron Paul had the fourth spot on the ballot.In the first contest decided Tuesday, Huckabee won all 18 delegates at the West Virginia GOP convention. Romney had hoped to claim victory there, but with McCain trailing, his backers switched their support to Huckabee to deprive Romney of the win.

Addressing the convention beforehand, Romney asked voters, Are we going to put a true conservative in the house that Ronald Reagan built or are we going to take a left turn? Earlier, on NBC's Today show, McCain said he had to convince voters that he is the conservative candidate. I've got the record, and I can lead this nation in the struggle against radical Islamic extremism, he said.
Obama and Clinton conceded in advance that neither was likely to emerge from the busiest day in primary history with anything more than a relatively narrow edge in Democratic convention delegates.
Senator Clinton, I think, has to be the prohibitive favorite going in given her name recognition, but we've been steadily chipping away, said Obama, seeking to downplay expectations.As she voted in Chappaqua, N.Y., Clinton acknowledged, The stakes are huge.Already, both campaigns were looking ahead to Feb. 9 contests in Louisiana, Kansas, Nebraska and Washington state and Feb. 12 primaries in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. And increasingly, it looked like the Democrats' historic race between a woman and a black man would go into early spring, possibly longer.

In a conference call Tuesday with reporters, Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson and senior strategist Mark Penn said that while they believe Clinton will emerge from Super Tuesday voting with more delegates overall than Barack Obama, the Illinois senator may well win more delegates in Tuesday's contests.They also acknowledged that Obama is well positioned to win several of the contests between now and March 4, when Ohio and Texas vote. But Penn said Clinton was polling strongly in Ohio and Texas and in Pennsylvania, whose primary is April 22. Wolfson said the campaign would seek four debates with Obama between now and March 4. It was not clear whether Obama has agreed to the proposal, and a spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Democrats had 1,681 Super Tuesday delegates to allocate in primaries in 15 states and caucuses in seven more plus American Samoa. Clinton led Obama in the delegate chase as the polls opened, 261 to 196, on the strength of so-called superdelegates. They are members of Congress and other party leaders, not chosen by primary or caucus-goers. Republicans had 1,023 delegates at stake in 15 primaries, six caucuses and one state convention. The evening began with McCain holding 102 delegates, to 93 for Romney, 43 for Huckabee and four for Paul. It takes 1,191 to win up the nomination. The de facto national primary was the culmination of a relentless campaign that moved into overdrive during Christmas week. After a brief rest for the holiday, the candidates flew back to Iowa on Dec. 26 for a final stretch of campaigning before the state's caucuses offered the first test of the election year. New Hampshire's traditional first-in-the-nation primary followed a few days later, then a seemingly endless series of campaign days interspersed by debates and a handful of primaries and caucuses.

Along the way, the poorest performers dropped out: Democratic Sens. Joe Biden and Chris Dodd, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio; and Republican Reps. Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo, and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson. Former Sen. John Edwards pulled out of the Democratic race last week, and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani left the Republican field. Edwards offered no endorsement as he exited, instead leaving Obama and Clinton to vie for help from his fundraisers and supporters. But Obama benefited from an endorsement by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who made a series of campaign appearances in California as well as his home state of Massachusetts. Giuliani quit the race and backed McCain in the same breath, clearing the way for the Westerner in New York and New Jersey. Giuliani's departure also made it possible for California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to back McCain. He said he would not have done so as long as the former mayor was in the race.
Obama and Clinton spent an estimated $20 million combined to advertise on television in the Feb 5 states. Obama spent $11 million, running ads in 18 of the 22 states with democratic contests. Clinton ran ads in 17, for a total of $9 million. Neither advertised in Illinois, Obama's home state.

ROMANIA THE 5TH COUNTRY ALREADY TO RATIFY LISBON TREATY NOW....WHATCH OUT....THE EU PRESIDENT IS ON HIS WAY.

EC President Barroso congratulates Romania for ratifying Lisbon Treaty published in issue 4114 page 2 at 2008-02-06

Bucharest – The President of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, congratulated Romania for ratifying the Treaty of Lisbon, expressing his hope that EU states will swiftly follow the track of the four countries that have already passed this treaty. France would be the first of the large EU countries to vote, Thursday, on the document.The European Commission president holds that Monday evening’s ratification by Romania’s Parliament is yet another stage toward the goal of the new treaty coming to effect as from January 1, 2009. Romanian Parliament passed the ratification law 387-1, with 1 abstention, of all the 463 Legislative seats.National Initiative Party (PIN) Deputy Lavinia Sandru was the only Romanian MP that voted against the ratification law. Conservative Deputy Dragos Dumitru abstained from voting.

French MPs set for EU treaty vote
04.02.2008 - 09:17 CET | By Honor Mahony and Lucia Kubosova


French parliamentarians will this afternoon (4 February) gather for a special session in the Versailles palace where they are expected to take a significant step towards ratifying the EU treaty.French daily Le Monde reports that 577 deputies and 330 senators will gather at 4pm in the famous palace to adopt a law modifying the French constitution in favour of the EU's Lisbon Treaty.The constitutional amendment is expected to be passed without problem - a constitutional amendment needs a 60 percent majority - as the governing centre-right UMP party of president Nicolas Sarkozy is set to largely vote in favour while the socialists have said they will abstain.The move will bring to a close a turbulent phase in EU-French relations that kicked off when France shocked Europe by voting against the draft EU constitution almost three years ago.

Since becoming president in June last year, Mr Sarkozy has on several occasions said he will bring France back to the heart of Europe, with an early ratification of the Lisbon Treaty seen as key to this.The next step after Monday's vote will be parliamentary ratification of the EU treaty on Wednesday and Thursday (7 February).The quick path through parliament contrasts strongly to events in 2005 when the Versailles constitutional amendment vote in February three years ago were followed by a highly emotional debate on the constitution. Three months later, it was eventually rejected by 55 percent of the electorate. This time around, Mr Sarkozy has flatly refused to have a public vote, saying that if France takes the referendum path, other countries, such as the UK, will have to follow suit, making it unlikely that the Lisbon treaty will be ratified by all 27 member states - which is required for it to come into force.

Slovakia moots referendum

But if the parliamentary vote in France is expected to go smoothly, events in Slovakia have taken a more farcical turn.Last week, the country saw a series of delays to the vote on ratifying the EU treaty because of a dispute between the governing and opposition parties over a separate law, with the vote now scheduled for Thursday.But the country's ruling coalition upped the stakes over the weekend by talking about holding a referendum if opposition parties keep blocking the vote due to their dislike of the government's draft media bill, seen as too restrictive.Vladimir Meciar, former prime minister and leader of the Movement for Democratic Slovakia party (HZDS-LS), which belongs to a three-party ruling coalition, signalled during a TV debate that if the opposition continued in its resistance, he would officially file a bid for a referendum on the treaty.While the centre-left SMER party and Slovak national party - both governing parties - reacted cautiously, saying a referendum should be the last resort, opposition delegates strongly disapproved.They argued there is no need for a popular vote as there is enough support for the Lisbon treaty in Slovakia's parliament.But they insisted they would maintain their protest against the controversial media bill until the government withdraws it or starts negotiating its content.

Slovakia is one of the 18 countries that ratified the original European Constitution. The constitution was shelved after being rejected by French and Dutch voters, though most of its institutional innovations are included in the current Lisbon treaty.2008 EUobserver.

Tony Blair: I'll Be European Union President If You Give Me The Power 2008-02-02 14:55:16 (3 days ago)Posted By: Intellpuke

Tony Blair has been holding discussions with some of his oldest allies on how he could mount a campaign later this year to become full-time president of the E.U. council, the prestigious new job characterized as president of Europe. Blair, currently the Middle East envoy for the U.S., Russia, European Union and the U.N., has told friends he has made no final decision, but is increasingly willing to put himself forward for the job if it comes with real powers to intervene in defense and trade affairs.Blair, who is being actively promoted by the French president Nicolas Sarkozy, recognizes he would need to abandon his well-paid, private sector jobs if he won. His wife Cherie - often portrayed as seeking ever more wealth and well-paid consultancies for her husband - is understood to be supportive of him accepting the job. Some Blair allies also say that he now recognizes that as envoy in the Middle East he is not going to be allowed to become the key player in furthering Israeli-Palestinian talks this year, and will be reduced to a role of supporting political development in Palestine and boosting its economy.

The president of the European council of ministers is a post created under the Lisbon treaty. The president will be the permanent chair of the council of ministers, Europe's chief decision-making body.Jonathan Powell, Blair's Downing Street chief of staff, is among the former lieutenants he has met to discuss a bid for the European role.Some senior figures believe he could yet be a loser in the carve-up of four big European jobs due to be distributed at the end of the French presidency in the second half of this year. Some claim that if the commission president, José Manuel Barroso, wanted to remain in post for a second term, it would be difficult for Blair, a political ally and previous advocate for Barroso, to hold the parallel, prestigious European council job.Decisions also have to be made on the appointment of a new, high representative on foreign policy, and the post of president of the European parliament. Smaller E.U. countries are sensitive about key jobs being taken by leading figures from larger countries, especially from one that is not part of the eurozone or the Schengen free-movement area, and that actively supports Turkish membership, as Britain has. Some French socialists have already come out against Blair, citing his role in the war in Iraq. Former French president Valery Giscard D'Estaing has also expressed his opposition.

It is thought that the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, is not persuaded of the advantages of a Blair presidency. The Christian Democrats have recently been politically weakened in state elections, and fear a Blair presidency might strengthen the German Social Democrats. Neither the Germans nor the French would push Blair if they believed his appointment was going to be opposed by Gordon Brown.Blair himself is still doubtful that the role of council president will become a powerful job, saying he senses that even pro-Europeans might recoil from ceding power from the nation state.With most countries currently focused on ratifying the Lisbon treaty through their national parliaments, decisions on the powers of the full-time president are unlikely to be made until the second half of the year.Apart from Blair, two other candidates most often mentioned are the former Austrian chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel, promoted by Germany, and the current Luxembourg prime minister, Jean-Claude Juncker.Intellpuke: Let's see, Blair lied to the House of Commons and the British people about the need to go to war in Iraq. He provided them with a 19-page intelligence dossier to back this up, but at least 12 pages of the dossier turned out to have been taken verbatim from a thesis done by a college student 12 years earlier and which the former student said was way out of date. During Blair's tenure as Britain's prime minister the country's National Health Service became even worse than it was before he took office, and by the time he left office Britain's education system was a shambles. As for defense and trade matters, Blair squelched a major government investigation into bribery charges against one of the U.K.'s largest defense contractors who allegedly paid a Saudi Prince over $1 billion in cash and gifts to get a lucrative arms sales contract with Saudi Arabia.

Blair claimed the investigation jeopardized national security, the same excuse Bush and Cheney have been using to hide their crimes. Then there was the pay for honors scandal where those who contributed enough to Britain's Labor Party were made peers such as Sirs and Earls. After Downing Street, he was made special envoy to the Middle East for the Group of Four and brought peace to the region ... no, wait, there's still no peace there. Yep, that's just what the E.U. wants and needs for a president - a brummagem poltroon whose only success was being Bush and Cheney's lap dog. And I'm not the least bit surprised that French President Sarkozy is supporting Blair for E.U. president.

EU preparing WTO media complaint against China
Bloomberg NewsPublished: February 5, 2008


GENEVA: The European Union has threatened to complain to the World Trade Organization about Chinese restrictions on foreign providers of financial news, saying time was running out for a negotiated solution.The EU trade commissioner, Peter Mandelson, has drafted a proposal to request the initiation of a dispute settlement procedure at the WTO concerning measures affecting the supply of financial information services in China, according to a document produced on Jan. 25 by the European Commission, the EU's executive arm in Brussels.In September 2006, Xinhua, the official Chinese news agency, was given sole power to regulate organizations like Bloomberg, Dow Jones and Reuters Group that distribute news in China, while competing with them.The European Union and the United States criticized the move, which marked a further tightening of media controls in China.The EU will be forced to take the matter to the World Trade Organization unless China agrees to change its policies, said an EU commission trade official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the decision had not yet been made. It would be the EU's second case against China at the WTO.

The country ranked 163rd in the 2007 Reporters Without Borders index of press freedom, just above Myanmar, Cuba and Iran, with Eritrea at the bottom in 169th place.The Chinese government is preparing to open the country to unprecedented global scrutiny during the Olympic Games in Beijing this year. Officials have pledged to allow foreign journalists unimpeded access during the event, which the government is using to showcase two decades of changes that have helped the Chinese economy grow more than tenfold to become one of the biggest in the world.Xinhua, founded in 1931 by the Communist Party, issues annual licenses for overseas media organizations, barring them from directly soliciting subscribers in China. The EU has raised the matter with China several times, the commission official said in an e-mail.

The United States discussed the matter with Chinese officials but was unable to make progress, Sean Spicer, a spokesman for the U.S. trade representative, said in December.The 27-country EU is leaving open the possibility of complaining to the WTO in concert with the United States, a step they took along with Canada in 2006 when challenging Chinese duties on imported car parts.In December, the U.S. trade representative, Susan Schwab, described Xinhua as an example of state-run Chinese companies that are backsliding on the country's pledge to open its economy. Her remarks underscored concern that China is promoting what she calls national champions to protect companies from overseas competition.Under the Chinese rules, media agencies can sell news and data to subscribers only via agents designated by Xinhua, which has the right to select information released by foreign organizations and to delete any materials that are deemed to undermine China's social stability, endanger national security or disrupt the country's economic order, among other prohibitions.Xinhua formulated its rules in accordance with national laws, administrative regulations and the relevant regulations of the State Council, the country's cabinet, the agency said in a September 2006 statement. They aim to promote the dissemination of news and information in a sound and orderly manner.
Foreign news agencies are subject to approval by Xinhua and may face warnings, demands for rectification, suspension or cancelation of their qualifications to release information for breaching the rules, the statement said.

Hamas Slams Visits of Solana, Blair

RAMALLAH, West Bank, 3 February 2008 — The Hamas Movement yesterday harshly criticized EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and Mideast Quartet envoy Tony Blair saying that both officials were leading a conspiracy to keep Rafah crossing (on the border between Gaza Strip and Egypt) closed.Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said that the two officials’ scheduled visit to the region this week to discuss reopening the crossing is a new plot to keep the blockade on Gaza Strip.Abu Zuhri explained in a press statement that the visit aims at cutting the road before Hamas’ attempts to reopen Rafah crossing with new arrangements bypassing the Israeli occupation’s intervention in monitoring the crossing. Rafah crossing and other crossings between Gaza and Israel were closed in June when Hamas took over Gaza Strip by force from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ security forces.Since Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, Rafah crossing was working according to a US-brokered Rafah agreement that stipulates the presence of EU monitors as a third party on the terminal. Abu Zuhri said that Blair and Solana will also try to gather international support for Abbas to reactivate the agreement and enabling the Israeli occupation to control the traffic in and out of the crossing.He questioned why the EU and the Quartet, comprising US, EU, Russia and the UN, does not pressure (Israeli) occupation to reopen the other crossings. Hamas didn’t want the deployment of the EU monitors in the same way as it was before since the agreement left a hand for Israel on the crossing throughout the monitors.

Hamas said that since the EU monitors live in Israel, the Israeli Army could close the crossing by preventing the monitors from traveling to the border. The deal said the crossing could not be run without the existence of the EU monitors.Meanwhile, Palestine Liberation Organization Executive Committee Secretary-General Yasser Abed Rabbo said that the Palestinian Authority doesn’t insist on an international role in running Gaza crossings or oppose the proposal of reopening the crossings away from international presence. However, Abed Rabbo said the Palestinian leadership prefers to reopen Rafah crossing according to US-brokered deal.

Earlier, Blair told The Times newspaper in London that the international community needed to match Hamas’ clever strategy to secure a peace deal, in an interview published yesterday. The former British prime minister, who remains confident of striking a peace deal by 2009, said a situation must be engineered whereby there is everything to gain if Hamas stops its rocket attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip.Blair said the United States was ramping up its involvement in trying to resolve the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians as US President George W. Bush’s term in office runs out. Hamas has a clever strategy, which is why I keep saying we need a clever strategy as well, which helps the people, isolates the extremists and points out the fact that if at any point in time the rockets stop, the whole situation will be transformed, Blair said.This is a deal that could definitely be done, and it could definitely be done this year, Blair said.

PRAY FOR ISRAEL DAY TUESDAY

SPECIAL DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING FOR ISRAEL

RABBIS IN ISRAEL ARE CALLING ON ALL JEWS AROUND THE WORLD TO PRAY AND FAST FOR THE SAFETY OF ISRAEL ON TUESDAY FEBRUARY 5. AND TO READ THE PSALMS AND QUOTE FAST PASSAGES.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY FOR ALL THE CHRISTIANS TO TO PRAY AND FAST ALSO FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM ON TUESDAY AND PRAY THAT ISRAELIS EYES WILL BE OPENED UP TO THE TRUTH OF THE TRUE MESSIAH JESUS.

Haredi Rabbis Call For Day of Prayer to Save Israel
by Ezra HaLevi FEB 04,08


(IsraelNN.com) The hareidi-religious Council of Torah Sages in Israel and the United States has issued a call for a day of prayer and fasting this Tuesday in response to the threats facing the Jewish people.Addressed to Our fellow Jews living in Eretz Yisroel (the Land of Israel) and to Jewish communities everywhere, the proclamation continues:

The difficult situation of the Jewish community in Eretz Yisroel fills us with trepidation. Nobody knows what the new day will bring. In our sins, we see the fulfillment of the posuk [Biblical verse] Behold Your enemies are in uproar and those who hate You have raised their heads. Against Your nation they deviously plot, and take counsel against those whom You protect. Our eyes are lifted in prayer to the Creator, that all of the goings-on in the world turn out for the good.

From both within and without the crisis mounts. The danger threatens both body and soul. During these days, items are on agendas that could place entire populations of Jews into grave danger, G-d forbid - including those in the Holy City of Jerusalem. Further, there are constant attempts to undermine the foundations of pure education [Hareidi-religious education without secular studies –ed.] in Eretz Yisroel and to cause harm to the holiness of the Nation of Israel. Therefore it is incumbent on us to fortify ourselves with Torah, prayer and good deeds, to awaken the mercy of Heaven.

Dear brethren, awaken and inspire yourselves to pour out prayer before the Creator of the world, that He have pity and protect His nation from all who stand up against us, that He abolish the intentions of those who hate us and nullify the plots of our enemies, and that the eyes of the misguided be opened to the realization that their path is foolishness and they should leave Hashem's nation to guard its path and faith, without hindrance or interference.

We therefore call on members of Hashem's holy nation in all the places they reside, men, women and children, to gather in tefilla [prayer] on Tuesday, Erev Rosh Chodesh Adar Rishon, 5768, to recite chapters of Psalms and the liturgy of Yom Kippur Koton [the traditional minor day of repentance on the eve of every new Jewish month –ed.].

May Hashem hear our pleas, and turn His face to us so that we may be saved with a permanent salvation soon. And let us merit to see, quickly, the redemption of Yisroel, and gaze upon the building of the Beis HaMikdosh, quickly in our days, amen.

The proclomation is signed by the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah (the hareidi-religious Council of Torah Sages), and the hareidi political parties Agudas Yisroel (Chassidic) and Degel HaTorah (Flag of Torah) – together the United Torah Judaism party. It was joined by the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of America.

OLMERTS MILITARY MAN FOR PP

RAPTURE

2 TIMOTHY 4:2-4
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

MATTHEW 24:3
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

LUKE 21:28
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH TO HEAVEN. MEETING CHRIST IN THE CLOUDS!

REVELATION 4:1-2
1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:51-55
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

NOW THIS IS A INTERESTING TURN OF EVENTS. THE U.S CALLS THEIR ARMY PLAYER FOR THE PEACE PROCESS THE EU ENVOY ALSO. AND NOW OLMERT HIRES A MILITARY MAN ALSO TO TALK FOR ISRAEL IN THE PEACE PROCESS. I FIND THIS VERY FANTASTIC THAT MILITARY MEN ARE GETTING INVOLVED IN THE PEACE PROCESS NOW. WHEN IN THE FUTURE A EU JEWISH MILITARY MAN WILL BECOME THE FALSE MESSIAH AND WORLD DICTATOR GUARENTEEING ISRAELS SECURITY FOR A 7 YEAR PEACE TREATY.

WE ARE DEFINATELY HEADING QUICKLY FOR THE EU DICTATOR TO COME ON THE SCENE. SO THAT MEANS OUR HOPE IS IN THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH WHICH HAPPENS BEFORE THE DICTATOR COMES ON THE SCENE. I SAY COME QUICKLY LORD GOD KING JESUS THE GOD OF ISRAEL FOR US IN THE CLOUDS TO BE WITH YOU FOREVER ON EARTH AFTER THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION.

Olmert names coordinator for Mideast peace talks Sun Feb 3, 1:53 PM ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday appointed an army general as head of the peace negotiations division charged with coordinating talks with the Palestinians, his office said. After a meeting with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, who heads the Israeli negotiating team, and Defence Minister Ehud Barak, Olmert appointed Brigadier General Udi Dekel to head the negotiations division with the Palestinians, it said.Dekel will coordinate the work related to the peace process with the Palestinians for the negotiating team, will formulate Israel's positions and will take part in the talks on a permanent settlement.
Dekel, 51, who currently serves as the head of the army's strategic planning division, will take up his new post in the coming days after he is discharged from the army, the statement said.Israeli and Palestinian negotiators began talks last month on the thorniest issues of the Middle East conflict after the peace process was relaunched at a US-sponsored international conference last November.
Both Olmert and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas have said they hope to reach a historic peace agreement by the end of 2008.

EUROPEAN UNION THREW TIME

THE EU THE REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE HOW IT WAS BORN

THE FOUNDERS OF THE EU

Jean Monnet (1888-1979)

The French economic advisor and politician Jean Monnet dedicated himself to the cause of European integration. He was the inspiration behind the Schuman Plan, which foresaw the merger of West European heavy industry.Monnet was from the region of Cognac in France. When he left school at 16 he travelled internationally as a cognac dealer, later also as a banker. During both World Wars he held high positions involved with the coordination of industrial production in France and United Kingdom.

As top advisor of the French government, he was the main inspiration behind the famous Schuman declaration of 9 May 1950, which led to the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community and, as such, is considered to be the birth of the European Union. Between 1952-55 he was the first president of its executive body.
It would, however, be unjust to limit Monnet's influence to the economic sphere. His famous and much-quoted phrase was We unite people, not states. Today's EU programmes for cultural and educational exchange follow in this tradition.

Paul Henri Spaak (1899-1972)

A European statesman - the long political career of the Belgian Paul Henri Spaak can succinctly be described as thus.Lying about his age, he was accepted into the Belgian Army during World War One, and consequently spent two years as a German prisoner of war. In the Second World War, now as foreign minister, he attempted in vain to preserve Belgium's neutrality. Together with the government he went into exile, first to Paris, and later to London.

After the liberation of Belgium, Spaak joined the government, and served both as Foreign Minister and as Prime Minister. Even during World War Two he had formulated plans for a merger of the Benelux countries, and directly after the war he campaigned for the unification of Europe, supporting the European Coal and Steel Community and a European defence community. For Spaak, uniting countries through binding Treaty obligations were the most effective means of guaranteeing peace and stability. He was able to help achieve these aims as president of the first full meeting of the United Nations (1946) and as General Secretary of NATO (1957-61).Spaak was a leading figure in formulating the content of the Treaty of Rome. At the so-called Messina Conference in 1955 the six participating governments appointed him as president of the working committee that prepared the Treaty.

Konrad Adenauer (1876-1967)

The first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, who stood at the head of the newly-formed state from 1949-63, changed more than any other the face of post-war German and European history.
Like many politicians of his generation, Adenauer had already realised following the First World War that lasting peace could only be achieved through a united Europe. His experiences during the Third Reich - he was removed from office as the mayor of Cologne by the Nazis - served to confirm this opinion.
In only six years from 1949-55, Adenauer realised far-reaching foreign policy goals to bind Germany within the western alliance: membership of the Council of Europe (1951), foundation of the European Coal and Steel Community (1952), and Germany's entry into NATO (1955).

A cornerstone of Adenauer's foreign policy was the reconciliation with France. Together with French president Charles de Gaulle, a turning point in history was achieved: in 1963 the one-time arch-enemies Germany and France signed a treaty of friendship which became one of the milestones on the road to European integration.

Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Churchill, a former army officer, war reporter and British Prime Minister (1940-45 and 1951-55), was one of the first to call for the creation of a United States of Europe.Following the experience of the Second World War, he was convinced that only a united Europe could guarantee peace. His aim was to eliminate the European ills of nationalism and war-mongering once and for all.
He formulated his conclusions drawn from the lessons of history in his famous Speech to the academic youth held at the University of Zurich in 1946: There is a remedy which ... would in a few years make all Europe ... free and ... happy. It is to re-create the European family, or as much of it as we can, and to provide it with a structure under which it can dwell in peace, in safety and in freedom. We must build a kind of United States of Europe.
Thus the driving force behind the anti-Hitler coalition became an active fighter in Europe's cause.Sir Winston Churchill also made a name for himself as a painter and writer; in 1953 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Alcide de Gasperi (1881-1954)

From 1945 up until 1953, Alcide de Gasperi, in his roles as Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs, forged the path of Italy's internal and external policies in the post-war years.
He was born in the region of Trentino-Alto Adige (South Tyrol) which had, until 1918, belonged to Austria. Like other exceptional statesmen of his time, he campaigned actively for European unity. His experiences of fascism and war - he was imprisoned between 1926 and 1929 before finding asylum in the Vatican - led to his conviction that only the union of Europe could prevent their recurrence.

Time and again he promoted initiatives for the fusion of Western Europe, working on the realisation of the Marshall Plan and creating close economic ties with other European countries, in particular France. Furthermore, he supported the Schumann Plan for the foundation of the European Coal and Steel Community, and helped develop the idea of the common European defence policy.

Walter Hallstein (1901-1982)

Walter Hallstein was the first president of the European Commission from 1958 to 1969, a committed European and a decisive proponent of European integration.In his opinion, the most important prerequisite for a successful political integration of Europe was the creation of common economic institutions. As president of the European Commission, Hallstein worked towards a rapid realisation of the Common Market. His energetic enthusiasm and his powers of persuasion furthered the cause of integration even beyond the period of his presidency. However, the speed of unification during the so-called Hallstein Period was legendary.

The one-time Secretary of State in the German Foreign Ministry originally attained international recognition through the Hallstein Doctrine of the 1950s, which shaped German foreign policy for years to come, and had at its core the linking of the young democracy into Western Europe.Hallstein was also at one time professor of law at the universities of Rostock and Frankfurt.

Robert Schuman (1886-1963)

The politician Robert Schuman, a qualified lawyer and French foreign minister between 1948 and 1952, is regarded as one of the founding fathers of European unity. Originating from the French-German border region of Alsace, despite, or maybe as a result of his experiences in Nazi Germany, he recognised that only a lasting reconciliation with Germany could form the basis for a united Europe. Deported to Germany in 1940, he joined the French Resistance upon fleeing two years later. In spite of this he showed no resentment, when following the war he became foreign minister.
In cooperation with Jean Monnet he drew up the internationally renowned Schuman Plan, which he published on 9 May 1950, the date now regarded as the birth of the European Union. He proposed joint control of coal and steel production, the most important materials for the armaments industry. The basic idea was that whoever did not have control over coal and steel production would not be able to fight a war.

Schuman informed the German chancellor Adenauer of the plan; he immediately recognised the opportunity for a peaceful Europe and agreed. Shortly afterwards, the governments of Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands also reacted. The six states signed the agreement for the European Coal and Steel Community in Paris in April 1951. In this way, Europe began as a peace initiative.
Schuman also supported the formation of a common European defence policy, and was, from 1958-60, president of the European Parliament.

Altiero Spinelli (1907-1986)

The Italian politician Altiero Spinelli was one of the fathers of the European Union. He was the leading figure behind the European Parliament's complete proposal for a Treaty on a federal European Union - the so-called Spinelli Plan. This was in 1982 adopted by an overwhelming majority in the parliament and provided an important inspiration for the strengthening of the EU Treaties in the 1980s and 90s.As a 17 year old, Spinelli had joined the Communist Party, as a consequence of which he was imprisoned by the fascist regime between 1927 and 1943. At a conference of European resistance in early 1944 he was one of the initiators of a proposal for a European Manifest. At the end of the war, he founded the federal European movement in Italy.

In the role of advisor to personalities like de Gasperi, Spaak and Monnet, he worked for European unification. A trained juror, he also furthered the European cause in the academic field, and founded the Institute for International Matters in Rome.As a member of the European Commission he took over the area of internal policy from 1970 to 1976. For three years he served as a Member of Parliament for the Italian Communist Party before being elected to the European Parliament in 1979.

I BELIEVE THE 3 COUNTRIES RULING AT THE TIME ARE SPAIN AND 2 OF THE ORIGINAL 6 THAT STARTED THE EU. FROM 1 OF THESE 3 COUNTRIES COME THE FUTURE EU DICTATOR PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION WHO GUARENTEES ISRAELS SECURITY FOR A LAND FOR PEACE 7 YEAR TREATY.

37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers,(THIS EU DICTATOR IS A EUROPEAN JEW) nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

A FALSE PROPHET COMES FROM THE VATICAN ALSO AT THIS TIME.

REVELATION 13:11-18
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

REVELATION 17:1-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
