CAP & TADE WW1 REPARATIONS

AMERICA (POLITICAL BABYLON)

EZEKIEL 39:21
21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

ISAIAH 18:1-2
1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!

JEREMIAH 50:11,37,12
11 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;(BACKSLIDERS)
37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.(A NATION OF MINGLED PEOPLE)
12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed:(MOTHER ENGLAND) behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

JEREMIAH 51:13,7,53
13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.

REVELATION 18:3,5,7
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

JEREMIAH 50:3,24
3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD. (RUSSIA A SNEAK ATTACK ON AMERICA)

REVELATION 18:9-11,15-21
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,(NUKE ATTACK I BELIEVE)
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

America, Still the beautiful Jue 8,10 By Laurie Roth

The United States of America is still the most, unique, powerful, inspired and freedom loving country on earth.Though our current President, Barack, Hussein Obama continuous to apologize for our country and ignore our Christian heritage, the facts remain the same. The United States of America is a freedom loving miracle that inspires most citizens of the world. America’s early settlers and dreamers started with the hungry vision of having real freedom, so they took on the well armed and powerful, Royal British Empire. In comparison, our patriots taking on the British, with their war ships and fabulous weapons, was like 1st graders with squirt guns and good intentions taking on the high school football team, fully dressed up with a fighting attitude.Through years of vision, sacrifice, prayer and hardship, America was born with her unique and treasured bill of rights, Constitution and Articles of Confederation. The bold, and unique power, forging through every word of her founding documents was and still is the spirit and inspiration of the Living God of the Holy Bible. America’s founders were mostly Christian and they saw the absolute need for God to be at the helm of her moral, legal, cultural and educational structure. America was blessed by God and grew to be the most powerful nation on earth because of that relationship.In fact, congress appointed chaplains for itself and its armed forces and even published the Bible to be sent out to U.S. citizens everywhere.They granted public lands to promote the teaching and preaching of Christianity throughout the country.They viewed the God of the Holy Bible as the country’s leader and protector, not Muhammad, Government structures or royalty.

Since the 1700s America has developed and matured, much like a good person would, with mistakes, achievements and all. However, since the U.S. has always had a skeletal structure, reflecting the Holy Bible and Freedom, it has aired on the side of generosity and giving more than taking and oppressing. Everyone has their lofty opinions and coffee talk about the wars America has found herself in but allow me a brief snapshot of some and the reason behind them. You make up your mind. Did we contribute or did we take from the world? WW1 - America wanted to be neutral but when Germany sank the Lusitania a British passenger ship with many Americans on board, things changed quickly. President Woodrow Wilson still declared U.S. neutrality after 128 Americans were killed in the Lusitania (typical liberal). Hide and talk….hide and talk some more.Germany was desperate to cut off any ships going to and from Britain, so they started attacking passenger and civilian operations. In fact in 1917, British intelligence intercepted a decoded telegram being sent to the Government of Mexico from Germany’s foreign minister, Arthur Zimmerman. This was given to President Wilson. Germany promised Mexico the Southern states again if they allied with Germany against the U.S. Germany was on a mission to control and conquer. The U.S. finally did the only thing they could to stop the growing and surrounding threat of Germany….declare war.

WW2 – Once again, America was in neutral and isolation mode when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and nearly wiped out our naval fleet, while most were asleep. Across the world in Europe, Hitler and the Nazis were taking on country after country and wanted to control the world as did Japan. Apparently, Germany didn’t get enough in WW1. WW2 involved, practically the whole world fighting, involved with Germany and Japan or the Allies. This was the most violent and costly war in the history of this world. We had no choice, we had to fight and win against stark evil and we did.The Korean War - The next few decades, America had to face a new, growing evil, communism and its threats. America was afraid and rightly so that with the push of Communist China supporting N. Korea that they would take over all of Asia if we didn’t stand for S. Korea and its freedom. This has often been called the forgotten war but it was critical in the push back of communism and with this chick, it is not forgotten. The Viet Nam war – once again the U.S. got involved in this war to stop the spread of communism in South East Asia. This has to be the most controversial war of our time. Americans got sick of it. The media and political groups turned against it and sadly our troops as they came home. What a horror show awaited our brave, returning Vets! Nevertheless, whether you view this war as a mistake or not, this…..once again slowed down the evil, march of communism.After President Ronald Reagan brought down communist Russia a few pegs, communism took a back seat in the world theatre to the new emerging threat, Islamic radicalism and fundamentalism.Radical Islam has been attacking the West and mainly American interests since the 70s, from cruise ships to our embassies. 9/11 brought their litany of evil and hate to a new level. It also caused the U.S. to once again, though not perfectly, respond at a war level. We started two fronts in our war on terror, in Afghanistan and Iraq. Though, we continue to attack Islamic, radical hot spots and are at war, Islamic radicals poke their evil heads up throughout the Middle East and horrifyingly, peppered even in our own country.

America has taken on 3 major evils in war, Nazi and Japanese totalitarianism, communism and now, Islamic radicalism. We continue to lead the world in taking on evil tyrants that shred human rights and freedom. As the U.S. stature and power has increased around the world so has the sea of criticism against her. She is expected to rescue the perishing, beat up the bad guys and fund everything while dealing with constant and chronic whining from the U.N., progressives and Islamic countries.Chief whiner and apology expert is President Barack Hussein Obama.Facing, confronting and winning against the onslaught of Fundamentalist Islam is the current challenge of our time, especially with a President who was raised a Muslim, sides with Islam, as he stated he would in his own book Audacity of Hope I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.It is most obvious that our President is siding with Islam. I would ask our President, just what is the ugly direction that caused you to give nearly a billion dollars to the serial killer group, Hamas, in the first month of your leadership and what ugliness caused you to bow low to the Saudi King? America’s brilliance and power lies in her respect and reverence for freedom under God and defined by God, not a contrived and loaned freedom, assigned and controlled by Government.America has been infiltrated and compromised by those who define Government control, cradle to grave. Today, dangerous socialism, fascism, neo-Marxism and communism hide in the garments of progressive democrats who currently control congress and the white house. They must ALL be thrown out! America is still a light on a hill and hope to the world. We will throw the bums in the white house and this congress out and lead again in the way we should and can.We will continue to achieve, protect and inspire.

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.

3 A fire(NUCLEAR BOMB) devoureth before them;(RUSSIA-ARABS) and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army,(RUSSIA,MUSLIMS) and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.(SIBERIAN DESERT)

All Aboard: Muslim Clerics Organize Flotilla to Gaza
by Hillel Fendel JUNE 9,10


The idea of flotillas to Gaza is catching on. Following the notorious terrorist activists’ flotilla of last week, and then one for Gilad Shalit, and another that Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan wants to join, now comes the idea for a Muslim religious leaders flotilla to Gaza.Kuwait’s Al-Watan newspaper reports that wanted terrorist Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi is behind the efforts to organize what is being called the Freedom Flotilla. Qaradawi heads the Union of Muslim Religious Sages, and he has invited its members to take part in the anti-Israel initiative, scheduled for next month.Qaradawi himself, however, will not take part – for fear that Israel will arrest him. Wanted by Israel for years, he has issued religious decrees encouraging suicide attacks against Israeli and American civilians. He is banned from entering the United States and Great Britain.

Al-Qaradwi also heads the Union of Good, an umbrella organization of more than 50 Islamic funds and foundations around the globe that channels money into Hamas institutions in the PA-controlled territories. In January 2008, Israel outlawed 36 associations belonging to the Union of Good - including Turkey’s IHH, which organized the recent terror-activist flotilla to Gaza.Regarding Erdogan’s declaration of intent to take part in a flotilla to Gaza, former IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Gen. (res.) Uzi Dayan says that such an act should be considered an act of war. If he boards a ship on its way to Gaza,Dayan said, Israel must treat his ship the same way it treated the Marmari.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahri Hiding in Sabzevar, Iran
by Sean Osborne, Associate Director


08 June 2010: Yesterday the highly reliable Kuwaiti daily newpaper Al-Seyassah once again published extraordinary intelligence information regarding the location of Osama bin Laden. Confirming the long-term assessment of former American intelligence and counter-terrorism officers Al-Siyassa reports that Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahri and five top Al-Qaeda lieutenants have hiding in the town of Sabzevar, Islamic Republic of Iran for the past five years. This breaking news bulletin has been picked up from Al-Siyassa by MEMRI and Israel’s DEBKAfile.

DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis June 8, 2010, 12:16 AM (GMT+02:00)

Osama bin Laden’s hiding place was pinned down for the first time Monday, June 7, by the Kuwaiti Al-Siyassa Monday, June 7, as the mountainous town of Savzevar in the northeastern Iranian province of Khorasan, 220 km west of Mashhad. He is said to have lived there under Tehran’s protection for the last five years, along with Ayman Al-Zawahiri and five other high-ranking al Qaeda leaders.debkafile’s intelligence sources disclosed Monday night that Turkish prime minister Recep Erdogan and his intelligence chiefs are well aware that Bin Laden and Zawahiri are hiding in Iran. The leak to the Kuwait paper was intended to show the Obama administration that the Turkish leader’s ties with Iran had grown intense enough for him to be fully in the picture of Iran’s secret sanctuary for the authors of the 9/11 attacks on the United States.Savzevar, a small town of about a quarter of a million inhabitants, is connected by road to Tehran and Mashhad and has a small airport. A center for producing grapes and raisins, its location is remote and difficult to access because it is enclosed by lofty mountains and a salt desert 50,000 square kilometers in area.

On May 13, American intelligence sources reported in detail that senior al Qaeda operatives living in Iran had been allowed to leave the country through Syria to orchestrate terrorist attacks on American targets. Among them was Saif al-Adel, who is believed to have been assigned with planning an attack on the world soccer games opening in South Africa on June 12. Those sources noted that Saif al-Adel had received his instructions directly from Osama bin Laden and Ayman Zawahiri but did not reveal knowledge of their presence in Iran.debkafile’s counter-terror sources disclose that the purpose of airing their precise whereabouts at this time, aside from implicating the Turkish leader, was first, to warn al Qaeda’s leaders that their hideout was blown and they had better move on – which would make them easier to catch; and, second, to nudge US president Barak Obama into a decision to go after them. A rare opportunity may now be building up to capture the world’s most wanted terrorist, debkafile’s counter-terror sources report. Last December, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates acknowledged the United States has not had any good intelligence on bin Laden’s whereabouts in years. Until recently, the elusive master-terrorist was generally thought to have gone to ground in the wilder parts of Pakistan-Afghanistan border region.

Nationalist Russian Israelis Mock Leftist Rally in Tel Aviv
by Malkah Fleisher JUNE 9,10


A recent leftist rally against a Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria in Tel Aviv's Rabin Square was crashed by proud nationalist Russian Israelis who aimed at making a mockery of the event.Hundreds of people congregated on Saturday afternoon against Jewish Judea and Samaria, and in solidarity with Arab residents of Hamas-controlled Gaza and the recent terrorist-laden Gaza aid flotilla. The rally, called The Government is Drowning Us All,was planned prior to the flotilla incident, but co-opted the issue on the day of the march. However, the Sabbath-day event did not go off without a hitch. A large group of secular nationalist Russian Israelis infiltrated their march, holding banners in English and Russian ridiculing the leftists.The nationalists, who were otherwise indistinguishable from the rest of the protestors, held signs including We'll Stab for Peace, We'll make the world abandon reason, We Believe in blah-blah-blah, What the hell am I doing here? and Don't mess with the Zohan, according to a report in the popular blog, The Muqata.

The rally against Jewish Judea and Samaria also witnessed a strong overt counter-rally of other citizens who were infuriated by the nature and timing of the Rabin Square protest.Dozens of supporters of Jewish strength in Israel tried to disrupt the event, and may even have thrown a smoke grenade. Standing opposite a portion of the rally, counter-protestors sang slogans in support of Israeli Navy SEALS and sang Israel's national anthem, HaTikva.They also shouted traitors, go to Gaza, and terror supporters at participants, from behind a blockade of police officers and riot police.

UN Security Council Ratifies Fourth Round of Iran Sanctions
by Gil Ronen JUNE 9,10


The United Nations' Security Council ratified a fourth round of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran on Wednesday in order to stymie its continued attempts to manufacture nuclear weapons.Twelve member states voted in favor of the resolution. Turkey and Brazil voted against it, claiming that the Security Council may not have used up all of its diplomatic options vis-a-vis Iran, and Lebanon – a temporary member of the UNSC – abstained.Russia and China both supported the ten-page resolution, after the United States promised them that their ability to trade with Iran would not be curtailed.The new sanctions were passed after being watered down during negotiations with Russia and China on Tuesday. The sanctions were softened in order to win Russian and Chinese support. They do not include the crippling economic sanctions that the United States had promised last year and that Israel had hoped for. They do include a ban on Iran's purchasing heavy weapons such as attack helicopters and missiles.

Rules on financial transactions with Iran's banks have been toughened. The head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency, Javad Rahiqi, has been slapped with asset freezes and a travel ban, as have 40 firms linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and other sections of the military elite. US ambassador to the UN Susan Rice said following the vote that the Security Council has risen to its responsibilities and now Iran should choose a wiser course.These are tough, strong and comprehensive sanctions that will be the most significant of all of the resolutions that imposed sanctions on Iran,Rice said in an interview. The fact that the Iranians have exerted so much effort and spent so much money to block this from coming into effect is one of several indications that they really don't want these sanctions adopted and enacted. I think they share our views, quite frankly, that these are a significant and serious set of new sanctions.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Israel: Sanctions on Iran Important, But Not Enough
by Gil Ronen JUNE 9,10


Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) expressed its approval Wednesday of the latest round of sanctions passed by the United Nations Security Council against Iran, but said that they were not enough to deter Iran from pursuing its nuclear weapons program.Israel hinted that it expects the UNSC resolution to be followed up by harsher steps by a group of nations with the United States at its head. Otherwise, it warned, The ramifications of the connection between Iran's radical ideology and nuclear weapons will be catastrophic.Israel sees Security Council Resolution 1929 as an important step, which defines clearly once again the demand that Iran comply with international demands: cease uranium enrichment, including enrichment to [a level of] 20%; stop construction of the facility at Qom; cooperate fully with the {International Atomic Energy Agency] inquiry into the military dimension of the nuclear program; and give the agency full access [to its facilities].This is the sixth resolution demanding that Iran cease enrichment and cooperate with the IAEA,the MFA noted.Iran has thus far blatantly flouted all of the resolutions adopted until now, showing blatant disregard for the international community and its institutions. There is great importance to the immediate and full implementation of the resolution.

We must make clear, however, that the resolution in and of itself is not enough. It must be accompanied by meaningful steps in other international forums, and on the national level. Only this kind of sanctions, that will focus on a variety of sectors in Iran, could affect the broad spectrum of Iranian considerations. Large scale and resolute international action... is needed to make Iran clearly see the international community's demands.Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday that the new UN sanctions would not stop Iran's nuclear program, nor would they harm his country's citizens. These decisions are like a piece of paper that is to be thrown away,he said. (IsraelNationalNews.com)

Islamist conspiracy to kill Weekly Blitz
By Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury Monday, June 7, 2010 CFPRESS


When we started our journey, back in 2003, as one of the periodicals in Bangladesh, no one really had any problems with us. We even were receiving advertisements from the local advertisers. But, during mid 2003, when we started publishing positive articles and editorials on Israel and some other issues, which were almost considered to be taboo in Bangladesh, local advertisers swiftly turned away their faces from us.Then I was arrested on November 29 2003, at Dhaka International Airport, on my way to Tel Aviv for attending a peace conference. The then Bangladesh Nationalist Party [BNP]-led Islamist government used the state machinery in placing me on remand for 10 days, thus mentally and physically torturing with the hope of extracted a confessional statement. They considered me to be a Zionist Spy.Later the government sent to an isolated cell at Dhaka Central Jail, where I was detained for 17 months in extreme heat and humidity.In 2004 [January], the government brought sedition, treason and blasphemy charges against me. According to Bangladeshi law, sedition bears capital punishment.I was not allowed to attend my mother’s funeral when she passed away on August 9, 2004.

At the intervention of Congressman Mark Steven Kirk and relentless effort by Dr. Richard L Benkin [my Jewish brother] as well as Congressional aide Jeff Phillip, I was released on bail on April 30, 2005 from Dhaka Central Jail.The sedition, treason and blasphemy charge is still hanging on me and every month I have to appear in the court to face trial. Though Bangladesh’s present government is renewing its commitment in fighting Islamist militancy, it is reluctant in dropping the charge, fearing reaction from the Islamists.On my release, Weekly Blitz resumed its publication in 2005 and since then, we never received even a single advertisement in our print edition. Only two or three advertisements were offered by some philanthropists and my supporters with a small amount of money, which is again not enough for Weekly Blitz to sustain for a week. But, still, my profound gratitude and admiration for those kind hearted people, who stood for us, during our difficult days.From the mid of 2008, Weekly Blitz is again seeing extreme adversities in continuing its publication. In the same year, our office was attacked and we were evicted from our own office, illegally by some politically blessed thugs.Thanks to Dr. Daniel Pipes and Middle East Forum, for helping us in taking a new office just in May this year. The entire amount received from MEF has already been spent for the new office and furniture.Sensing our inability and economic adversities in running Weekly Blitz, a business tycoon with heavy affiliation with an Islamist party offered to buy the entire newspaper with an amount equivalent to US$ 300K. They even continued to offer us much higher amount, if we were ready to sell the newspaper. We knew they were planning to buy Weekly Blitz for turning it into a newspaper like all others in the Muslim nation, mostly spreading message of hatred against Israel and Jews. Their intention was to morally kill our newspaper. We did not bow to such dirty desire of the Islamists.

But, now, our very sustainability has become almost impossible. Each month, we are losing huge amount of money in continuing the print and online edition of this newspaper. For any newspaper, it is absolutely impossible to sustain without any advertisement revenue.Can we expect, some of the philanthropists or organizations, who want this only anti-Jihadist newspaper in the Muslim world to sustain, would kindly help us with advertisements or grants? Such help is so much urgent for us. And, this is for the first time; we are making this appeal to our valued readers through this editorial page.Please help us! And also refer our appeal to everyone you know. This is such critical time for us. Your actions and help can help us stay alive. If you are willing to help Weekly Blitz, kindly write to: ediblitz@yahoo.com

Kyoto - Cap and Trade: Destructive Policies Like WW I Reparations
By Dr. Tim Ball Monday, June 7, 2010 CFPRESS


In a wonderful parody two Australian satirists put the current European and world financial situation in an appropriate Alice In Wonderland perspective. It’s a simple situation compared to the larger, but just as foolish, plans underway with cap and trade to create global socialism. It’s almost trite to quote George Santayana’s Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.Invariably it is bad politics that repeats.

Secular Retribution: Pay For Your Sins
Selfishness and retribution have undermined the global economy before. Wrong-headed political decisions of the Treaty of Versailles caused economic collapse after World War I. Countries demanded reparations from Germany as part of the 14 points Woodrow Wilson drafted before the war ended. One of the most devastating parts of the Treaty was Article 231, the War Guilt Clause.Germany was forced to accept responsibility for starting the war and required, at French insistence, on paying massive unmanageable reparations. Reparations are defined as making of amends for a wrong one has done, by paying money to or otherwise helping those who have been wronged.Germany was unable to make the payments because the Treaty seriously restricted growth so the US provided the funds. The so-called winners needed money to rebuild and borrowed from US banks.The United States entered World War I late (1917) and emerged as a major creditor and financier of post-War restoration.US banks were more than willing to loan money. However, once US banks began failing ... the banks not only stopped making loans, they wanted their money back. This put pressure on European economies, which had not fully recovered from WWI, contributing to the global economic downturn. (Source)Besides economic disasters, the Treaty of Versailles gave Hitler all the ammunition he needed to rebuild Germany. Under the guise of economic reconstruction and rebirth of national pride, he built the massive war machine that took the world into darkness and destruction. Hitler cannot be absolved his responsibility, but neither can those who, through narrow political views and a desire for retribution and control, provided the opportunity.

Kyoto Accord; Climate Equivalent Of Treaty of Versailles
In a parallel process the Kyoto Accord, the climate equivalent of the Treaty of Versailles, began with the 1992 Rio Conference and was formalized in Japan in 1997. First they established guilt. Recognizing that developed countries are principally responsible for the current high levels of GHG emissions in the atmosphere as a result of more than 150 years of industrial activity, the Protocol places a heavier burden on developed nations under the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities.Rules were adopted for implementation in 2001 and put into action in 2005. Scientists at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provided the science for the politicians. The first IPCC Report in 1990 began the false connection between CO2 and global warming. Deception increased with each Report as the leaked emails of the Climatic Research Unit documented.Meanwhile two things are in play. First, the emissions trading scheme or carbon market designed to make nations, who enriched and advanced themselves using CO2 producing energies, pay those who have suffered. The Kyoto Protocol divides the nations into groups through an arbitrary level of CO2 production. Those above can continue above the level but only if they purchase carbon credits from those under the level. The fallacy of the idea is it is designed to reduce CO2 when it actually allows a continuance of use. In reality it’s a naked, unsustainable transfer of wealth. Second, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) allows above nations to earn saleable certified emission reduction (CER) credits worth one tonne of CO2 each by building an emission reducing project in the ‘under’ nation. This doesn’t reduce CO2 levels either because without the outside investment the project wouldn’t have occurred. It’s a crude form of foreign aid that forces successful businesses to subsidize businesses in the ‘under’ nations giving unfair advantage on world markets. It‘s a bureaucratic delight because it’s an administrative nightmare. They claim, The Kyoto Protocol is generally seen as an important first step towards a truly global emission reduction regime that will stabilize GHG emissions, and provides the essential architecture for any future international agreement on climate change.

The trouble is GHG emissions are not stabilized or decreased and it’s irrelevant anyway because they’re not causing climate change. However, they will destabilize the world economy, just as reparations did after WWI.No nation achieved Kyoto Protocol CO2 reduction targets and the Copenhagen Conference of the Parties was a bust. However, the planning proceeds with the eleventh session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex 1 Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP 11) at the Bonn Climate Change talks in April 2010. Once a bureaucracy is established it’s almost impossible to kill, especially at the UN. It is effectively beyond the control of individual nations, but politicians have no interest in stopping the process. They saw tax and control potential under the guise of saving the planet.Obama Apologizes For US Success, Imposes Penalties On The People.
President Obama pursues the goal of reparations within the US. Americans must be punished for aggression and profligate ways; he believes they have a powerful, successful burgeoning economy at the expense of the rest of the world its resources and the environment. He told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2008, I’m capping greenhouse gases…That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers under my plan of a cap and trade system. Electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.The Congressional Budget Office estimates a 15 percent reduction in CO2 costs $1,400 a year for a family with a $50,000 annual income. No matter how it is done the costs end up with the individual and their ability to pay will diminish as the economy collapses.Solutions are potentially as damaging as those of the Treaty of Versailles. They place the entire US and world economy in jeopardy and will not stop climate change because CO2 is not the cause. Alternative energy is not capable, under current technology, of meeting US requirements and will not reduce CO2 because it requires 100% traditional energy backup. Even with subsidies they are uncompetitive. CO2 is not a pollutant and real pollution levels have declined steadily and would do so faster if money wasted on climate change and subsidizing alternate energies were redirected. US energy independence is readily available with coal, nuclear and natural gas but only if politicians stop playing politics. Ironically and appropriately, it was communist leader Nikita Khrushchev who said, Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.

The real Ass Obama should be kicking CFPRESS
By Neil Braithwaite Wednesday, June 9, 2010


The real ##### Obama should be kicking is the icon for his Democrat Party.The Democrat Party beast of burden is foundering under the Obama administration’s heavy burden of an impending $19 trillion debt by 2015, trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see, a 50-day-old oil spill in the Gulf that’s still leaking thousands of gallons a day, almost 10% unemployment with no end in sight, over three and a half million jobs lost since Obama took office, over a trillion dollars in stimulus spending that still hasn’t worked, a Southern border leaking illegal aliens like a sieve, the worst economy since Jimmy Carter, a health care bill nobody wanted with estimated cost overruns already in the billions – possibly trillions, allegations of political bribery pay-offs and cover-ups, all topped by a weak and dangerous foreign policy.And that’s just what’s in the left saddlebag.If Obama is truly looking for some ##### to kick, he doesn’t have to look any further than his own pathetic and incompetent Democrat ##### to start kicking.Maybe he can use a pair of those Texas cowboy boots he inherited from W – I hear they’re great for ##### kickin.

Sarkozy and Merkel tell Brussels to speed up reforms
ANDREW WILLIS 09.06.2010 @ 17:42 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have urged Brussels to speed up proposals for tougher regulation of certain financial products and trading practices. In a two-page letter to European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, dated 8 June, the two leaders ask the EU executive to come forward with plans to clamp down on naked short-selling and Credit Default Swaps (CDSs) by the middle of next month, rather than October as originally planned.Presenting a united front after months of squabbling on how to solve the eurozone's debt crisis, the two leaders say recent market developments mean there is now an urgent need for the commission to accelerate the pace of its work. At a regular press briefing in Brussels, a commission spokeswoman said the institution would announce proposals during the summer but declined to give an exact date.We consider it [the letter] an expression of support for our general approach, a European approach for the issue of short-selling,said spokeswoman Pia Ahrenkilde-Hansen.I don't see this as a complaint.Germany surprised many last month when it announced a unilateral move to curb naked short-selling of certain financial stocks, sovereign debt and sovereign CDSs. Naked short-selling involves trading in assets that are borrowed rather than owned, while CDSs are insurance-like products that have received criticism for exacerbating Greece's debt crisis.

Although Mr Sarkozy has been vocal on the need for greater market regulation in the wake of the financial crisis, Paris has not followed Berlin's unilateral move, with French finance minister Christine Lagarde saying she was concerned the ban could reduce liquidity in bond markets.Wednesday's letter appears to be an effort by the two sides to bury their recent differences as EU leaders prepare to sit down for a summit in Brussels next week, with the two also scheduled to attend a G20 leaders' meeting later this month.

Bulgaria

In other news related to the financial crisis, the commission has raised a question mark over the validity of data being provided to the EU's statistics office, Eurostat, by Bulgaria. The commission lacks information on why Bulgaria has revised its planned 2010 budget from a balanced budget to a deficit budget ... even though the macroeconomic scenario has remained unchanged or even improved, said the institution's economy spokesman Amadeu Altafaj Tardio on Wednesday. As a result, the institution plans to send a team of officials to Sofia to check the public finance figures being provided by the centre-right government of Prime Minister Boiko Borissov, elected less than a year ago.The commission says it is too early to judge whether the latest changes have been caused by problems of methodology or active political manipulation.In April, Mr Borissov announced that a slew of previously unaccounted-for hidden contracts relating to the previous administration had forced the Bulgarian government to adjust its 2009 budget deficit figure and delay its timetable for joining the European single currency.Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007, only to see a total of €825 million in pre-accession aid frozen by the commission in 2008 amid corruption concerns. Roughly €220 million of the aid was ultimately cut.

US blames EU for Turkey foreign policy drift
VALENTINA POP 09.06.2010 @ 19:18 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – US defence minister Robert Gates said that the EU's refusal to accept Turkey as a member is partly to blame for Ankara's deteriorating relations with Israel and for pushing the country into the arms of Islamic states, a suggestion firmly rejected by Brussels.The deterioration in the relationship between Turkey and Israel over the past year or so is a matter of concern, Mr Gates told reporters in London.The conservative Turkish government, whose relations with neighbouring Islamic states such as Syria and Iran have grown closer, has meanwhile put on freeze relations with its former regional ally Israel after nine of its citizens were killed by Israeli commandos on an aid flotilla bound for Gaza.I personally think that if there is anything to the notion that Turkey is, if you will, moving eastward, it is, in my view, in no small part because it was pushed, and pushed by some in Europe refusing to give Turkey the kind of organic link to the West that Turkey sought,he argued.Traditionally a strong US ally and the only Muslim member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation since 1952, Turkey has consistently enjoyed Washington's support in its bid EU membership, for which it applied in 1987.

Formal accession negotiations began in 2005, but progress has been slow and Germany and France continue to speak of the alternative of a privileged partnership instead of full membership at the end of the process.A spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton rejected Mr Gates' suggestion that there is any link between the EU membership negotiations and Turkey's strained relations with Israel.The EU has very good relations with both Turkey and Israel. Turkey is an EU candidate country and Israel an important partner. The bilateral relations between these two countries are not linked with the bilateral relations between the EU and each of these countries,Maja Kocijancic, Ms Ashton's spokeswoman told this website.As far as Turkey is concerned, progress in accession negotiations depends on the progress in reforms taking place in Turkey,she added.Ties between Turkey and Israel have deteriorated in recent years, especially after Tel Aviv's 2008 bombardment of the Gaza Strip that killed some 1,400 civilians and the recent killing of the nine Turkish activists, which prompted Ankara to recall its ambassador, scrap joint military drills and say its relations will never be as before.But Turkey's relations with the US itself have also worsened over the last decade, particularly after its refusal to open its skies to international troops bound for Iraq. Turkish foreign policy chief Ahmet Davutoglu also openly expressed his disappointment at Washington's reaction over the Israeli attack on the aid flotilla, which did not assign blame to the Jewish state and resulted in a watered down reaction from the UN Security Council.

Bilderbuggers

Journalists love the Bilderberg group because it has an air of secrecy and conspiracy. In fact, rather than anything very substantial, it seems to be largely a vanity project – people who think themselves very important gathering in an air of secrecy and conspiracy. Last week in the Commission’s press room there were questions about the possible attendance of José Manuel Barroso.Barroso was not there at the June 3-6 meeting in Sitges, Spain. Three of his colleagues were however: Joaquín Almunia, Karel de Gucht and Neelie Kroes. At least that is what the Bilderberg website says – the group is getting a little less secretive it seems.

For all the secrecy and conspiracy (and public expense of getting the Spanish police out to guard the venue, though apparently Bilderberg refunds any such costs incurred), judging from the list of participants, Bilderberg seems to be a gathering of rather second division VIPs. Almunia, de Gucht and Kroes got to rub shoulders with a number of company CEOs, some journalists, and luminaries such as premier of British Columbia Gordon Campbell, president of Austria Heinz Fischer and Greek finance minister George Papaconstantinou. Er, isn’t rubbing shoulders with these people what the Commissioners do every day anyway? Admittedly there were more important attendees, such as Bill Gates and famous war criminal (according to Christopher Hitchens) Henry Kissenger. Spanish PM Zapatero was there as well.

And of course Bilderberg is chaired by former EU Commissioner and the man who allegedly secretly runs Belgium, Etienne Davignon.Bilderberg justifies its secrecy by stating that participants all attend in a personal capacity and it is therefore not a public event. So no doubt the Commissioners that attended all did so on unpaid days off, and travelled and accommodated themselves for the event at their own expense.This entry was posted on Wednesday, June 9th, 2010 at 10:24 am

Snowmelt-swollen rivers plague Wyoming, Colorado By BOB MOEN, Associated Press Writer – Wed Jun 9, 1:18 am ET

CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Rain and a spring heat wave that is quickly melting mountain snowpack have sent rivers rising across the West, washing out small bridges and flooding homes in Wyoming and prompting some rafting companies to halt guided trips in Colorado.Authorities have handed out thousands of sandbags since the weekend. Rain has exacerbated the situation in many places.We don't have a lot of control over it. The city guys and volunteers are working like crazy, Nancy Webber of Lander, Wyo., said in a telephone interview Tuesday afternoon. And hopefully it will peak today or tomorrow and things will get better as the week goes on. But you never can tell.No casualties have been reported. But there were reports of roads and bridges being damaged in eastern Oregon, as well as minor flooding along the Snake River in eastern Washington and north-central Idaho and the Yellowstone in south-central Montana.The Idaho Bureau of Homeland Security on Tuesday declared disaster emergencies in three counties impacted by severe weather and flooding.Fears of flooding near Salt Lake City were alleviated as the flow of Big and Little Cottonwood creeks was slowed. Cooler temperatures eased minor flooding in northern Utah but warmer temperatures were expected to return Wednesday.People were keeping a nervous eye on rising rivers in Colorado, where an Aspen man rafting in the swollen Eagle River drowned over the weekend. In Estes Park, near northern Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park, some 500 sandbags were handed out Monday to hold back the rising Big Thompson River.

Rivers in west-central Wyoming — where Lander is located — were rising to record or near-record levels.The National Weather Service forecast that area rivers would rise another 6 to 8 inches through Wednesday, 2nd Lt. Christian Venhuizen of the Wyoming National Guard said.Meteorologists were keeping an eye on a storm front that could bring more moisture to the mountains. Federal officials were also closely monitoring area dams, but were confident they were safe, Venhuizen said from Lander, where the Guard has set up a command post.Lander, a town of about 7,000 residents in Fremont County, where the Popo Agie River is out of its banks, has asked residents to conserve water after one of the town's water lines running under the river broke, Webber said.About 100 members of the Wyoming National Guard have been deployed to evacuate people and help bag sand in Fremont County, which Gov. Dave Freudenthal has declared a disaster area. Another 80 Guard members were expected in the area Wednesday.Some 86,000 sandbags have been distributed and another 200,000 were due to arrive late Tuesday. Flood lights were set up so volunteers and others could stuff the bags through the night.Several homes have been flooded and families have moved out, some going to a shelter opened by the Red Cross in Riverton. Venhuizen said there are about 2,100 homes in the affected area, which stretches across roughly 22 square miles. Not all of those homes have been flooded, he said.Flooding was also occurring in south-central Wyoming. The North Platte River in Saratoga, a town of about 1,900 residents in Carbon County, was expected to eclipse its 1957 flood record on Tuesday night.If we were to get 2 to 3 inches of rain every day, this would be what our rivers would look like, but since we live in Wyoming we don't get 2to 3 inches of rain every day,Venhuizen said. The normal flow in our rivers are a lot lower.

More Active Sun Means Nasty Solar Storms Ahead
SPACE.com Space.com Staff space.com – Wed Jun 9, 6:00 pm ET


The sun is about to get a lot more active, which could have ill effects on Earth. So to prepare, top sun scientists met Tuesday to discuss the best ways to protect Earth's satellites and other vital systems from the coming solar storms.Solar storms occur when sunspots on our star erupt and spew out flumes of charged particles that can damage power systems. The sun's activity typically follows an 11-year cycle, and it looks to be coming out of a slump and gearing up for an active period.The sun is waking up from a deep slumber, and in the next few years we expect to see much higher levels of solar activity, said Richard Fisher, head of NASA's Heliophysics Division.At the same time, our technological society has developed an unprecedented sensitivity to solar storms. The intersection of these two issues is what we're getting together to discuss.Fisher and other experts met at the Space Weather Enterprise Forum, which took place in Washington, D.C., at the National Press Club.

Bad news for gizmos

People of the 21st century rely on high-tech systems for the basics of daily life. But smart power grids, GPS navigation, air travel, financial services and emergency radio communications can all be knocked out by intense solar activity. A major solar storm could cause twenty times more economic damage than Hurricane Katrina, warned the National Academy of Sciences in a 2008 report, Severe Space Weather Events—Societal and Economic Impacts.[Photos: Sun storms.]Luckily, much of the damage can be mitigated if managers know a storm is coming. That's why better understanding of solar weather, and the ability to give advance warning, is especially important.
Putting satellites in 'safe mode' and disconnecting transformers can protect electronics from damaging electrical surges. Space weather forecasting is still in its infancy, but we're making rapid progress,said Thomas Bogdan, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colo.

Eyes on the sun

NASA and NOAA work together to manage a fleet of satellites that monitor the sun and help to predict its changes.A pair of spacecraft called STEREO (Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory) is stationed on opposite sides of the sun, offering a combined view of 90 percent of the solar surface. In addition, SDO (the Solar Dynamics Observatory), which just launched in February 2010, is able to photograph solar active regions with unprecedented spectral, temporal and spatial resolution. Also, an old satellite called the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), which launched in 1997, is still chugging along monitoring winds coming off the sun. And there are dozens more dedicated to solar science.I believe we're on the threshold of a new era in which space weather can be as influential in our daily lives as ordinary terrestrial weather.Fisher said.We take this very seriously indeed.

Bernanke says recovery on track despite headwinds By JEANNINE AVERSA, AP Economics Writer – Wed Jun 9, 12:39 pm ET

WASHINGTON – The European debt crisis is likely to have only a modest impact on the U.S. economic recovery as long as Wall Street stabilizes, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress on Wednesday.Testifying before the House Budget Committee, Bernanke struck a more confident tone that the recovery will remain intact despite problems in Europe as well stubbornly high unemployment and a fragile housing market here at home.The economy ... appears to be on track to continue to expand through this year and next, Bernanke said.However, the pace of the expansion — 3.5 percent this year by the Fed's estimate — won't be strong enough to quickly bring relief to the 15 million Americans who are unemployed. The unemployment rate now at 9.7 percent would likely see only a slow reduction,Bernanke warned.Fears have grown in recent weeks that the recovery could be derailed.One worry is if Europe's debt crisis turns into a broader financial contagion, crimping lending in the United States and around the globe. The situation has spooked investors, sending Wall Street into periodic nosedives.Another worry is that hiring in the United States by private companies could stall. That fear was stoked by a government report last Friday, showing that job creation at private companies in May slowed sharply, with businesses adding only 41,000 new jobs, the fewest since the start of the year.

However, Bernanke said signals suggest that the economy will keep on plodding ahead as massive government stimulus fades. Consumers and businesses have picked up the baton from the government and are spending sufficiently to keep the recovery on track, he said. Still, spending by consumers is much more subdued than in the early stages of past economic recoveries. That's why economic growth is expected to be only modest this year, rather than blistering.It appears ... that the recovery has made an important transition,Bernanke told lawmakers. While it can't be entirely ruled out that the country could slide back into a double dip recession, Bernanke predicted that the economy will continue to recover at a moderate pace.Channeling the anxiety many ordinary people feel about the recovery, the panel's chairman, Rep. John Spratt, D-S.C., said: Too many Americans continue to feel the effects of this recession and wonder when ... relief is going to come.Discussing the European crisis, Bernanke also struck a confident tone that the United States would get through the fallout without much damage.If markets continue to stabilize, then the effects of the crisis on economic growth in the United States seem likely to be modest, Bernanke said.Stock portfolios are taking a hit from a rattled Wall Street and weaker economic prospects in Europe probably will sap demand for U.S. exports.

Although such negative forces will leave some imprint on the U.S. economy,Bernanke said there are other more positive forces that will help out the United States. They include low mortgage rates as investors flock to the safety of U.S. Treasurys, and lower prices for oil and other globally traded commodities, Bernanke said.The Fed has pledged to hold rates at record lows to nurture the recovery. Many economists believe the Fed will hold rates near zero when it meets next on June 22-23. And, economists viewed Bernanke's remarks on Wednesday as bolstering their beliefs that the Fed won't start to boost rates until next year — or possibly 2012_ given the European crisis and high unemployment.We will take the actions necessary to ensure stability and continued economic recovery,Bernanke said.Bernanke said European leaders are showing a firm resolve to fight the crisis and restore confidence in financial markets. The Fed will remain highly attentive to developments abroad and their potential impact on the U.S. economy, Bernanke said.On another topic, Bernanke said the Fed and other regulators intend in the next few weeks to tell banks to take steps to make sure their pay practices aren't spurring excessive risk-taking by executives and other employees. A Fed review found that many banks have not modified their compensation practices in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, Bernanke said. One of the problems that contributed to the crisis was compensation practices that emboldened reckless behavior. The Fed chief also urged Congress and the White House to come up with a plan to whittle down record federal budget deficits. Failing to do so could hurt the economy in the long run, Bernanke said. That's because it can lead to higher interest rates for Americans to buy homes, cars and other things, and make it more expensive for Uncle Sam to service its debt payments. At some point, things will come apart,he warned.We should be planning now for a deficit-reduction blueprint, Bernanke said, adding that Europe's debt problem is a sobering reminder of the need for countries to get their fiscal houses in order.

But he added that radical reductions in spending or big hikes in taxes right now wouldn't be prudent because the U.S. recovery is fragile. And, more assistance may be needed, he said. Bernanke didn't provide details, although Congress is moving closer to extending unemployment benefits. The nation's red ink hit a record $1.4 trillion last year. The recession took a big bite out of tax revenues, while spending rose to stimulate the economy and provide relief to struggling Americans.

SKorean rocket likely exploded soon after liftoff By KWANG-TAE KIM, Associated Press Writer - JUNE 10,10

SEOUL, South Korea – A South Korean rocket carrying a climate observation satellite apparently exploded 137 seconds into its flight early Thursday, the country's second major space setback in less than a year.The two-stage Naro rocket operated normally during and after liftoff from the country's space center, Minister of Education, Science and Technology Ahn Byong-man said. But then communications with the rocket were lost.We believe that the Naro rocket is likely to have exploded, he told reporters.We are sorry for failing to live up to people's expectations.An image from a camera aboard the Naro brightened like a flash of light, possibly evidence of an explosion, Ahn said.He said South Korean and Russian experts were trying to find the cause of the problem. The first stage of the rocket was designed and built by Russia and the second by South Korea.Ahn said that South Korea will begin preparations to announce a new launch date as soon as the cause of the setback is determined.It was not immediately clear where any debris from the rocket fell and there were no reports of injuries. Repeated calls to the ministry and the state-run Korea Aerospace Research Institute went unanswered later Thursday.

The blastoff at the coastal space center in Goheung, 290 miles (465 kilometers) south of Seoul, was the country's second launch of a rocket from its own territory. In the first attempt last August, the satellite failed to reach orbit because one of its two covers apparently failed to come off after liftoff despite the rocket launch itself being considered a success.Since 1992, South Korea has launched 11 satellites from overseas sites, all on foreign-made rockets.The launch was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but was delayed a day because fire retardant suddenly sprayed from three nozzles set up near the launch pad to extinguish any blaze.South Koreans are intensely proud of their country's rise from devastation and poverty after the end of the Korean War as well as their reputation for advanced technology and were closely observing the launch. About 100 people watched it on big screen televisions at Seoul's main railway station. People applauded when the rocket blasted off, though the mood turned anxious after the first news of a problem.South Korea's Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, which oversees the space program, says South Korea plans to develop a space launch vehicle with its own technology by 2020.

China, Japan and India are Asia's current space powers. Japan has launched numerous satellites while China sent its first astronaut into space in 2003 and carried out its first spacewalk in 2008.India launched a satellite into moon orbit in 2008, but had to abandon it nearly a year later after communication links snapped and scientists lost control of it.Despite the series of problems, South Korea wasn't about to give up.We will make further strenuous efforts to realize the dream of space power,said Ahn, the science minister.Associated Press photographer Wally Santana contributed to this report.

Poland warns against eurozone elite
ANDREW WILLIS Today JUNE 10,10 @ 09:23 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned that Europe's efforts to step up economic co-ordination in the wake of Greece's debt crisis should not be limited to the collection of states that share the euro currency. Speaking in Brussels on Wednesday (9 June) after the Polish cabinet held meetings with senior EU officials as part of preparations for its EU presidency in the second half of next year, Mr Tusk said non-eurozone states must be treated in an equal manner. As a country that is aspiring to join the eurozone, we would like the eurozone to be a leader but not an exclusive elite within the European Union,he told journalists.The statement is an indication of where Poland stands regarding a French call for greater cohesion of eurozone decision making, driven by regular meetings of the group's leaders and potentially aided by a new secretariat based in Brussels. Poland fears this could lead to a two-speed Europe. It's very important that the European Commission stands up for equal standards for all EU member states, Mr Tusk said.We want a united Europe that can take actions in solidarity for the benefit of the EU as a whole.With the topic set to be discussed at a European Summit in Brussels next week, Germany has also proven to be lukewarm regarding the French proposal, fearing that increased economic decision making by euro area leaders could negatively impact on the European Central Bank's independence.

Monthly meetings of the eurozone's finance ministers are chaired by Luxembourg's prime minister, Jean-Claude Juncker, but widening eurozone difficulties earlier this year prompted two meetings of its leaders, both chaired by European Council President Herman Van Rompuy. Mr Van Rompuy is seen as the most likely candidate to chair the regular eurozone leaders' meetings, were the French proposal given the go-ahead. The Belgian politician is currently leading a 'taskforce' of EU finance officials that will come forward with proposals on greater European economic co-ordination this October. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso has also previously voiced his opposition to a eurozone economic government aided by a secretariat, saying the creation of new institutions would merely add greater confusion to the current situation. The general framework should be the same for the eurozone as for the non-eurozone countries. We can't have a split in the EU,he said on Wednesday, speaking alongside Mr Tusk. Last month, the commission came forward with its own ideas paper on how the bloc should toughen its budgetary rules and reduce differences in competitiveness between member states. The proposals included a call for the commission and member states to vet each others' budgets before they are passed onto national parliaments for approval. On Monday, Mr Van Rompuy said his taskforce meeting of EU finance ministers had reached agreement on the proposal, only for the UK to issue a strong rejection of the idea the following day. London insists that such a move should only apply to those states using the euro currency.

Negotiators rush to get EU diplomatic service ready
HONOR MAHONY Today JUNE 9,10 @ 09:23 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Negotiators on the diplomatic service are in a last-minute rush to get the outline of the new corps agreed by early next week so it can be signed off by EU leaders at their summit on 17-18 June.Talks on Tuesday (8 June) involving EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and MEPs on the last details of the service ended with one main issue on the table, according to EU sources.It concerns where to position the new service in the EU institutional set-up. Member states and Ms Ashton wanted to have a stand-alone service with its own independent budget.MEPs, and particularly Liberal MEP Guy Verhofstadt, one of the parliament's three negotiators on the diplomatic service, were against this solution arguing that it would not be subject to proper oversight. MEPs want it to be anchored to the European Commission, arguing also that setting up an independent body with its own separate budget would set a dangerous precedent.We have agreement in principle on political accountability, said a source.What is still the outstanding issue is more budgetary.According to the source, a compromise is now being sought that would be a half-way house between the two views. We are looking at the moment at a compromise that looks something like the OLAF (EU anti-fraud office) situation, where you're given an independent budget but you go to the commission for the money.This would not include money for programming however, which is ring-fenced.With the EU leaders summit at the end of next week seen as a natural deadline for the discussions, officials are hurrying to get the budgetary wrinkle ironed out.

Ms Ashton has offered to meet MEPs, along with Spanish foreign minister Miguel Moratinos and the EU institutional affairs commissioner, for what is hoped to be a last round of talks on Friday.If all goes to plan, the leaders of the political groups in the parliament would give the green light on Monday morning, allowing foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg to sign it off before it goes to the EU leaders' table.A spokesperson for Ms Ashton said Tuesday's meeting saw a very constructive dialogue.The High Representative considers all parties to be very close to a political agreement. She is confident that this political agreement can be reached very soon, hopefully in the next few days.An agreement next week would free Ms Ashton to start the process of appointing names to the high level jobs in the corps - over 50 vacancies for heads of delegation will be coming up in the next months.Ms Ashton is hoping to have the service up-and-running by December. This is much later than the original spring date foreseen but talks were complicated by the need to get agreement by member states, the European Commission and Parliament.The difficulty we had was that the timing was based on an expectation that was never realistic - that you could do this in just no time,said an EU diplomat recently.

We are being asked to create a completely new animal from scratch. The problem is that everybody, including our main partners around the world, were led to believe that the miracle would happen the day that the Lisbon Treaty entered into force (1 December 2009). That's why they are a bit impatient.The service, due to have up to 8,000 personnel once it is fully established, is meant to give coherency and on-hand expertise to EU foreign policy.

Europeans protest against wave of austerity
ANDREW WILLIS Today JUNE 9,10 @ 09:27 CET


Spanish public sector workers took to the streets on Tuesday (8 June) to protest against government announced pay cuts, while German trade unions called for mass demonstrations this coming weekend after Berlin unveiled its own four-year austerity package earlier this week.The wave of government belt-tightening sweeping across Europe has already resulted in strikes in countries stretching from Ireland to Greece this year, with Brussels also seeing protests yesterday, although reports suggest turnout in Spain was below organisers' expectations.Crowds gathered in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and elsewhere in the southern European state to show their discontent at the Socialist government's plans to shave €15 billion off the country's deficit over two years.The measures include a five percent pay cut for public sector workers, the suspension of automatic inflation-adjustments for pensions, the scrapping of payouts to parents for the birth of children, and a reduction of €1.2 billion in regional funding.Protestors accused the government of mismanaging the crisis, and said the planned measures would disproportionately affect public sector workers. We are not responsible for this crisis, read one banner.We're not the ones who'll pay for it.Spanish unions said 75-80 percent of public sector workers had joined the day-long strike, although the labour ministry put the figure at 16 percent, with public transport largely unaffected. Roughly 2.5 million Spaniards work in the public sector.

More strike action may follow however, with Madrid set to announce unpopular labour market reforms on Wednesday that will make it easier for employers to hire and fire workers. The government is under intense pressure from financial markets and Brussels to turn its economy around after a recent credit rating downgrade dramatically increased the country's borrowing costs. Like Ireland, Spain's property market imploded when the global financial crisis struck, plunging the country into an almost two-year recession and placing a huge strain on government coffers. Unemployment is currently hovering around the 20 percent mark, the highest in the eurozone.

Germany

In Germany the first labour protests at the government's €80 billion austerity package were announced by the Verdi public sector workers' union, with mass rallies planned in Berlin and Stuttgart on Saturday.Its leader Frank Bsirske said the brunt of savings would fall on public sector workers and the unemployed, while the wealthy would continue to live in a tax oasis.Other unions later joined the call to arms, while German industry and economists have largely welcome the proposals due to their focus on spending cuts rather than broad-brush tax rises.Announced on Monday, Chancellor Angela Merkel's list of austerity measures is intended to show that Europe's largest economy will lead by example. The largest part of the cuts in the four-year programme will fall on welfare payments and benefits for the long-term unemployed.A lower proportion will affect banks and other businesses, with the government intending to introduce a financial transactions tax and a new tax on flights leaving Germany. Britain, the Republic of Ireland, Portugal, and Italy are amongst the countries to have unveiled austerity measures as governments feel the squeeze.The announcement by the Romanian government that it plans a 25 percent cut in public sector salaries and 15 percent reduction in pensions has also seen people take to the streets in the east European country this week.

US Needs Austerity Too: Hedge Fund Strategist Published: Wednesday, 9 Jun 2010 | 6:00AM ET By: Antonia Oprita Web Producer, CNBC.com

The United States will have to adopt austerity measures similar to the ones taken in Europe, because the problems faced are largely the same, Timothy Scala, macro-strategist at Sophis Investments, told CNBC.com.On Monday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel presented plans to save 80 billion euros ($95.2 billion) by 2014 by cutting handouts to parents, axing 15,000 government jobs and delaying some construction projects financed by the government.European Union Economy Commissioner Olli Rehn warned on Tuesday that euro zone countries may need to prepare more budget cuts, without specifying which ones.And on Wednesday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy urged the EU to consider a wide ban on short selling of shares and state bonds, as speculation has intensified that some European states will eventually default on their debt.In the US, a Treasury Department report sent to Congress shows that public debt will rise to 102 percent of gross domestic product by 2015 from 93 percent this year, to $19.6 trillion. We can't kick this can along the road forever,Scala said about the US debt problem.If we continue to stimulate by issuing more debt or by printing, it's going to make it worse.This debt balloon has arrived. You will ultimately see it in the US,he said in a telephone interview.

Europeans have opted for austerity while US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is still on the side of stimulating growth, and some analysts are saying that now is not the time to crush the recovery with austerity measures.At a time like this, it's way too early in this recovery especially for Europe and especially for the UK to be talking that game, Hugh Johnson, an investment strategist at Johnson Illington Advisors, told CNBC. It's too soon to reduce (stimulus) or to eliminate it. I agree at some point you have to do something, but it's way too early, Johnson insisted.

Scala argued that the stimulus has increased the size of the public sector and that structurally the US has huge problems, just like the euro zone.I don't think the government stimulus can create wealth, he said.The public sector job growth has been enormous. The government has rapidly become the employer of last resort.Raising taxes, such as capital gains and income taxes, would add revenue to the budget, but the boost would be short-lived because this would affect the private sector, according to Scala.We have bad choices and worse choices, because we've spent way too much,he said.An overhaul of public spending in the US is needed, as spending on the health-care program is too high, according to Scala. President Barack Obama's health-care reform law was passed by Democrats in Congress after a protracted political fight but around 20 US states are trying to overturn the reform in court, saying it will force massive new spending.Lawmakers could choose not to fund the program and it will wither and die, Scala said.Apart from this, the US should reduce taxes on capital gains to stimulate investment and create tax incentives for the use of natural gas, to improve the country's trade position, he said.Scala added that another reform needed to boost the economy would be bringing back accelerated depreciation on commercial property, which is experiencing its worst liquidity challenge in almost 20 years, according to the National Association of Realtors.
Right now, if you were to do that, you'd incite a lot of investors in the commercial market, he said.Austerity is needed to cut the debt burden because the risk is that it will be financed by more debt or by printing money, which would in turn cause inflation as investors will take refuge in commodities, Scala explained.I'm afraid we'll see inflation like in the 70s, at some point,he said.For the moment, inflation is under control because unemployment is high and commodities are sold to pay off debt, according to Scala.He said that the euro [EUR=X 1.2033 0.0062 (+0.52%)] is likely to keep falling and reach $1.05 if problems in Europe continue.Civil unrest is the risk. I do see unions and strikes and a very nasty summer, as people are being told they are going to lose their entitlements, Scala said.His hedge fund is selling the euro on rallies and will continue to do so until things change, he added.

Member states back tougher powers for EU statistics body-The commission has concerns over data provided by Bulgaria (Photo: Jorge Franganillo)ANDREW WILLIS 08.06.2010 @ 17:28 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - EU finance ministers have thrown their support behind plans to hand Eurostat - the bloc's statistics agency - tougher auditing powers, five years after member states first rejected similar proposals. The political agreement reached in Luxembourg on Tuesday (8 June) highlights recent frustration at unreliable data from Athens, with the European Commission now signaling it has doubts over the accuracy of the figures coming out of Bulgaria.EU economy commissioner Olli Rehn welcomed the member-state decision, and urged the European Parliament to also provide the necessary support so that the draft regulation can become law.These audit powers are indeed one essential condition of a solid and effectively functioning Economic and Monetary Union because we need accurate and reliable statistics on national accounts for the EMU to function, Mr Rehn told journalists after the meeting.At present, Eurostat relies on member states to provide it with accurate and timely data so that it can perform its statistical analyses. Greek government data has repeatedly been insufficiently reliable. The new powers would allow Eurostat and commission officials to conduct country-specific visits in order to verify data they deem to be dubious, with Mr Rehn suggesting that Brussels already had one destination in mind.We have had some concerns regarding the statistical performance of Bulgaria and we are considering sending a mission shortly,said the Finnish politician.

EU officials say the number-crunching visits could have flagged up Greece's problems at a much earlier stage, helping to reduce the uncertainty and market turmoil surrounding the country's debt crisis.A budget deficit revision of more than four percent last October by the country's newly-elected centre-left Pasok government led to a series of credit rating downgrades and widespread market panic as investors mulled the possibility of a debt default. This, together with the destabilising effects on the eurozone as a whole, have brought about a change in government attitudes, resulting in Tuesday's deal. A similar request by the commission in 2005 to upgrade Eurostat's auditing capabilities was rebuffed by member states, who were reluctant to hand over too much power to the Luxembourg-based body.

UK rejection

Separately on Tuesday, the UK appeared to reject the idea of EU member states viewing each others' budgets before they are handed to national parliaments, despite claims by European Council President Herman Van Rompuy on Monday that a broad agreement had been reached.The budget will be presented to parliament first, the UK's financial secretary to the treasury, Mark Hoban, said in a short statement.There is no question of anyone other than MPs seeing it first.

Israel's ultra-Orthodox turn to consumer clout By AMY TEIBEL, Associated Press Writer - JUNE 9,10

JERUSALEM – Israel's ultra-Orthodox community, which has traditionally used violent protests and political clout to push its agenda, is turning to a new tactic to get its way in this overwhelmingly secular society: market power.The fast-growing community has emerged as a consumer powerhouse, using classic market muscle to drive the development of products catered to their needs, and to push companies to curb practices it finds offensive.Cell phone companies customize phones for them, food chains operate supermarkets tailored to their tastes, and investment houses are offering kosher places for the ultra-Orthodox to park their cash without running up against Jewish restrictions on lending and investing. Threats of a boycott — not violence — led a leading clothing maker to remove billboards featuring scantily clad models from a major highway.There's no doubt their numbers make them a market force, said Arieh Frenkel, a religious consultant who helps Israeli companies target ultra-Orthodox customers. They take advantage of their clout.The ultra-Orthodox, a community of 700,000 who live in isolated enclaves across the country of around 7 million, are Israel's poorest sector. About 60 percent of the men do not work, instead pursuing state-subsidized religious studies. In keeping with the religious injunction to be fruitful and multiply,ultra-Orthodox families are large, with an average of seven children. Some 60 percent of the community lives below the poverty line.

But that hasn't stopped the ultra-Orthodox from turning their growing numbers and unique spending habits on food and clothing into market clout.All major Israeli supermarket chains now have discount operations whose food meets an exceptionally stringent level of religious supervision. Packaging is aimed at large families, offering big volume at lower prices.Spending also has been driven by a small but growing number of ultra-Orthodox who have pursued lucrative professions like law, accounting and technology. Not only do they spend money, they also expose their communities to a wider world where buying opportunities abound.They go to work in Tel Aviv and get ideas of what's out there, said Rachely Greenwald, an ultra-Orthodox public relations executive at the Trio advertising firm.By virtue of their upbringing, the ultra-Orthodox are obedient to religious law and their rabbis — an experience that tends to translate into collective shopping habits, religious commentator Kobi Arieli said.The rabbis don't tell you which pasta sauce to use, Arieli said. But when you get used to reciting the same (religious) texts that 1 million other people say every day, you become, willy nilly, part of a herd, he said.

For marketers, this is an important lesson because they can capture large numbers of people in one go — or alienate them en masse, as several company owners have discovered to their dismay.The Shefa Shuk discount food chain was boycotted by some ultra-Orthodox for more than a year and a half because the chain's owner operates a separate convenience store chain, AM:PM, whose hours violate the religious ban on working on the Sabbath. Some rabbis also blocked Shefa Shuk from advertising in ultra-Orthodox communities and newspapers.The pressure eventually led the AM:PM chain to close some branches on the Sabbath.Last fall, the FOX clothes chain ditched an ad campaign featuring supermodel Bar Refaeli lying next to a male model, with only a blanket covering her torso. Another ad showed the two locked in a kiss.The images were replaced by more chaste advertisements. FOX said it replaced the ads after receiving complaints, noting it is a fashion chain that appeals to the general public and all its sectors.The flight schedule of El Al, Israel's national air carrier, is another case study in the evolving power of the ultra-Orthodox.In the 1980s, El Al, then state-run, began grounding its planes on the Sabbath and Jewish holidays because religious lawmakers in the governing coalition demanded it. Because of the lost revenue, economic analysts had once expected El Al to resume a seven-day-a-week schedule after it passed into private hands. But that didn't happen: Six years after it was privatized, El Al continues to fly a short week. The ultra-Orthodox, a loyal consumer niche, had threatened to boycott the airline unless it signed a pledge not to fly on the Sabbath.Technology is another area where ultra-Orthodox consumers have left their stamp.Recognizing the value of cell phones, rabbis reached an agreement with one mobile phone operator to create stripped-down, kosher devices filtered to block access to sex sites and other objectionable material. Other cellular carriers were quick to follow.

Kosher finance is another hot topic. Jewish law prohibits Jews from collecting interest on loans, so banks have created a way to circumvent this rule. The religious borrower and lender become partners in a business transaction, with the borrower paying a set return on investment in accordance with a religiously compliant formula. The notion of kosher finance has also spilled over into the stock market. Investment firms have begun catering to religious investors to meet the mounting demand for stocks and bonds in companies that don't violate Jewish law. They might avoid companies, for instance, that operate on the Sabbath or produce non-kosher food.Profit always has to be the motive,says Rabbi Aryeh Dvir of Jerusalem, a leading figure in promoting kosher investment. But the objective is that professionals will operate according to religious law.

NKorea warns UN not to discuss warship sinking
JUNE 9,10


SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea sent the U.N. Security Council a letter warning the world body to not even open debate on the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship blamed on Pyongyang, state media reported Wednesday.South Korea last week officially asked the U.N. Security Council to punish North Korea, after an international investigation said a North torpedo attack sunk a South ship in March, killing 46 sailors. North Korea flatly denies responsibility and says any punishment would trigger war.Sin Son Ho — North Korea's permanent representative at the U.N. — sent Security Council president Claude Heller a letter Tuesday saying the council must not open a debate on the the unilaterally forged investigation results because that would fringe upon the North's sovereignty, the official Korean Central News Agency said in a dispatch from Pyongyang.No one would dare imagine how serious its consequences would be over security on the Korean peninsula if the debate starts, Sin said in the letter, according to the KCNA dispatch.Sin said the U.N. council instead should take steps helping South Korea and the U.S. accept North Korean inspectors to verify the investigation results, it said.The ship sinking is the first inter-Korean provocation in which the South has taken the North to the Security Council, despite a history of attacks by the North since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.

The Security Council has several choices: a resolution with or without new sanctions against North Korea, a weaker presidential statement calling for specific actions, or a press statement.The Security Council earlier imposed sanctions against North Korea after its two nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009. These include U.N. embargoes on nuclear and ballistic missile-related items and technology, on arms exports and imports except light weapons, and on luxury goods.

41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.(JORDAN)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

EZEKIEL 39:1-8
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)
2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA) and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.

JOEL 2:3,20,30-31
3 A fire(NUCLEAR BOMB) devoureth before them;(RUSSIA-ARABS) and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army,(RUSSIA,MUSLIMS) and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.(SIBERIAN DESERT)
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.(NUCLEAR BOMB)
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

France sticks to Russian warship deal despite concern
VALENTINA POP Today JUNE 9,10 @ 09:52 CET


President Nicolas Sarkozy on Tuesday (8 June) defended his plans to sell to Russia up to four French warships, despite concerns raised by his Georgian counterpart Mikheil Saakashvili during talks taking place a few days before a visit to Paris of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.Georgia, along with EU's Baltic states and the US, has criticised what would be the first-ever warship sale from a Nato country to Russia, especially after comments made by a Russian general that Moscow would have won in 40 minutes the 2008 war against Georgia if it had a Mistral-class carrier at the time.Paris announced in March it was in talks with Moscow for the sale of up to four Mistral carriers.But Mr Sarkozy brushed aside these concerns, saying: if Russia is expected to behave like a partner in every domain, including in the area of security and defence, then it must be treated like a partner in every domain, according to a presidential aide quoted by AFP.It's a political choice France is clearly standing for, Mr Sarkozy told his counterpart. The latter didn't hide his concerns on this matter but said he could understand the rationale,the source added.
Mr Sarkozy also reassured the Georgian leader that Paris is one of his country's main supporters within the EU and that it was pressing to start negotiations on an association and free trade agreement this summer, while noting the progress made in order for Georgians to get EU visas faster and cheaper, AP reports.

France's commercial interest in the exclusive negotiations with Moscow is obvious: for sale at €300-400 million a piece, the deal would also boost employment in the dockyards of Toulon, Saint-Nazare and Brest. Paris approved the sale of four such ships capable of carrying 16 helicopters and 750 troops, but meanwhile Moscow has signalled it would rather buy just one and build the other three in its own shipyards.The issue is likely to come up again on Friday, during the working lunch between Mr Sarkozy and Mr Putin.Coming out of the talks on Tuesday, Mr Saakashvili said the warship sale was a bilateral matter between Russia and France. The most important thing, according to the Georgian leader, was France's unconditional support for his country.Despite the crisis in Europe, despite all the problems in the European Union, France continues to have a very strong presence in our region and plays a decisive role in solving the conflicts, the problems we have,he added.

Mr Saakashvili also stressed the importance of this official visit at the Elysee palace, for the first time after the 2008 war and two days before the Russian Prime Minister Putin is expected in Paris.The fact that my visit has been organised two days before Putin's visit sends a very clear message. This buries Russia's efforts to isolate our country,Mr Saakashvili said.He added that he received full support for his country's territorial integrity - a formula frequently used by EU politicians in reference to the continued presence of Russian troops on Georgian territory.In August 2008, when France was chairing the rotating EU presidency, Mr Sarkozy personally flew to the region and managed to broker a ceasefire agreement between Moscow and Tbilisi, putting an end to the Russian invasion following the Georgian attack its rebel region South Ossetia.An EU civilian mission was deployed on the ground within a month to monitor the Russian withdrawal, which is still not fully complying with the ceasefire. Russia claims that those conditions are no longer valid, since both regions – South Ossetia and Abkhazia – have declared their independence and Moscow has recognised them.

REVELATION 8:8-11
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood:(bitter,Poisoned) and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.(poisoned)

REVELATION 16:3-7
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.(enviromentalists won't like this result)
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
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.

Attorney: Deepwater Horizon Managers Knew About Oil Rig Problem Before Explosion Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Wednesday, June 9, 2010

Top Houston attorney Tony Buzbee says he has new evidence which indicates that Deepwater Horizon’s managers knew that the BP oil rig had major problems before its explosion on April 20, citing the eyewitness account of a crew member who rescued burning workers on the rig of a conversation between Deepwater Horizon installation manager Jimmy Harrell and someone in Houston. According to the witness, Harrell was screaming, Are you fucking happy? Are you fucking happy? The rig’s on fire! I told you this was gonna happen.Harrell was talking via satellite phone and whoever was on the other end of the line was apparently trying to calm him down as the rig burned.I am fucking calm,said Harrell, according to Buzbee.You realize the rig is burning?

A boat captain then asked Harrell to leave the bridge. Transocean have refused to confirm or deny that the conversation took place.Buzbee is a respected lawyer with a successful history of winning cases brought against oil companies. He represents 15 rig workers along with dozens of shrimpers, seafood restaurants, and dock workers. The witness to the conversation signed a 3 page statement attesting to the fact that it took place, but refuses to be identified for fear of reprisals.Though Harrell himself has denied allegations of a feud with BP or Transocean in public hearings, the Atlantic’s Josh Harkinson points out that there were two other witnesses who personally experienced Harrell’s problems with their safety procedures.Testifying before the Coast Guard and MMS panel last month, Douglas Brown, the chief mechanic on the Deepwater Horizon, said that on the morning of the day that the rig exploded Harrell had a skirmish over drilling procedures during a meeting with BP’s company man,well site leader Robert Kaluza. I remember the company man saying this is how it’s going to be,Brown told the panel. As Harrell was leaving the meeting, according to Brown,He pretty much grumbled,I guess that’s what we have those pincers for, referring to the blowout preventer on the sea floor that is supposed to be the last resort to prevent a leak in the event of an emergency. The blowout preventer failed following the explosion on the rig, causing the massive spill. (Transocean’s chief electronics technician, Mike Williams, also recalled the argument but named a different BP company man, BP’s top official on the rig, Donald Vidrine),writes Harkinson.

Other rig workers have also claimed that they were pressured by BP and their supervisors to cut corners, adds Harkinson.Transocean roustabout Truitt Crawford told the Coast Guard that he overheard senior management saying that BP was taking shortcuts by replacing drilling mud in the well with saltwater, which would have provided less weight to contain the well’s surging pressure. Transocean’s Williams told 60 Minutes that a supervisor had dismissed evidence that the well’s blowout preventer had been damaged. And workers with Halliburton, the well’s cementing contractor, had complained that BP’s use of cement was against our best practices and told the oil company that it would likely have a SEVERE gas flow problem unless the well’s casings were centered more carefully.The details of this story would appear to point to mere negligence on behalf of Transocean and BP were it not for the plethora of other evidence indicating foreknowledge of the event and even possible deliberate sabotage of the oil well.As we highlighted yesterday, on page 37 of British Petroleum’s own investigative report into the oil spill, it is stated that the Hydraulic Control System on equipment designed to automatically seal the well in an emergency was modified without BP’s knowledge sometime before the explosion.Highly suspicious stock and share trades by people connected to BP before the explosion indicate some extent of foreknowledge.Goldman Sachs dumped 44% of its shares in BP Oil during the first quarter of 2010 – shares that subsequently lost 36 percent of their value, equating to $96 million. The current chairman of Goldman Sachs is Bilderberg luminary Peter Sutherland, who is also the former chairman of British Petroleum.Furthermore, as reported by the London Telegraph on June 5th, Tony Hayward, the current BP CEO sold £1.4 million of his shares in the fuel giant weeks before the spill.

On April 12th, just over one week before the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, Halliburton, the world’s second largest oilfield services corporation, surprised some by acquiring Boots & Coots, a relatively small but vastly experienced oil well control company.Halliburton is named in the majority of some two dozen lawsuits filed since the explosion by Gulf Coast people and businesses who claim that the company is to blame for the disaster.Halliburton was forced to admit in testimony at a congressional hearing last month that it carried out a cementing operation 20 hours before the Gulf of Mexico rig went up in flames. The lawsuits claim that four Halliburton workers stationed on the rig improperly capped the well.

BP buys top Google search result for oil spill-BP has bought the top Google and Yahoo! search result for terms like oil spill in a bid to recover its public image following the massive oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. By Heidi Blake

BP
The oil company, which is under fire over its role in one of the worst ecological disasters in US history, has purchased the news results in an attempt to stem the tide of criticism on internet sites such as Twitter and Facebook. A search for the term oil spill on Tuesday night brought up a link to BP's website with the tagline: Learn more about how BP is helping.

Oil industry protest campaign adds to summer heat on President Barack ObamaBut the move has only succeeded in provoking further criticism. The Google adverts have become the target of a mock BP Twitter feed with the tag BPGlobalPR, which was already attracted more than 140,000 followers.

We're paying Google a lot of money to make sure you only have access to the best possible info on the oil spill: our info,one tweet reads. Toby Odone, a BP spokesman, said the company's goal in buying the search results was to make information on the leak more accessible. We have bought search terms on search engines like Google to make it easier for people to find out more about our efforts in the Gulf and make it easier for people to find key links to information on filing claims, reporting oil on the beach and signing up to volunteer,he said.Barack Obama, the US president, said on Monday that he was seeking ass to kick over the leak, which has left 20,000 barrels of oil gushing out of the damaged well each day.
