BARRY SOETORO-OBAMA IS CUNNING AND EVIL

Obama is not the naive,inexperienced,and the boy President! He is calculating, organized and evil By Laurie Roth APR 29,10

Obama is very easy to figure out. Just look at his compromising associations during his entire, paper thin career. Observe that he taught ACORN workers from his favorite play book,Rules for Radicals which is dedicated to Lucifer in the front cover……yes indeed. Isn’t that inspiring? In Obama’s world, big Government and him are co-gods of control. As communists think, Obama wants control of all of us from cradle to grave. The trick of any wanna be dictator is to ride in on the white horse first…seduce the people by attending to contrived and manipulated needs, i.e. health care, jobs and security. As you are acting as the Change messiah and Father Christmas,you develop fans who are Stepford wives.They will march in lock step and start ignoring the real evidence and elephants running through the room. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HITLER DID TO GET VOTED IN, THEN SEDUCE AND DISTRACT A NATION, WHILE INVENTING ENEMIES TO DESTROY. Many German fans, young and old were robotically obedient, thinking they were doing the right thing. A nation was destroyed and millions were slaughtered.You know the rest of the story unless of course you are the President of Iran. I CALL ON ALL OF YOU TO REWRITE THE STORY BEING FORCED UPON US BY THIS CONGRESS AND ADMINISTRATION. Get boldly involved with the Tea Parties; Get behind the REAL conservatives running for any local, state and federal office; Fax congress on a variety of issues at www/faxdc.com. Put the pressure in their faces. It doesn’t matter anymore about Obama’s motives, excuses and reasons for his behavior. It doesn’t matter where he was born. It’s most obvious it wasn’t in the U.S. Anyone with even a small brain in this country knows you don’t spend nearly 2 million dollars in legal fees to hide your birth certificate, passport records and College records unless you have something to hide.

Regardless of the anti American, anti Constitutional and socialist elephants running through the room, this president is not representing the rule of law, constitution and American people at all. He and this stepford wives media and congress have financially and morally betrayed the U.S. again and again….from the stimulus bill orgies and compromises to the Kevorkian health care bill of control. They ALL must go and never return.It continues to crack me up when I hear commentators on radio and TV referring to Obama as inexperienced,and naive.He is the boy president. I have never once thought of Obama as naive or the boy.He is dangerously calculating, focused and organized in his plans to take over America and have Government (which he controls) take over everything in our lives from cradle to grave! There are global elites behind Obama like Soros, UN globalists and Islamic leaders. Obama may be inexperienced with supporting freedom, Judeo/Christian values and running a real business and country, but he is MOST experienced with practicing, teaching and planning the take over of America. He is a narcissistic, dangerous, fascist who is in the process with this congress of taking over all banking, the auto industry, now health care, soon energy and what we even grow and do in our homes. The ‘readers digest’ version of his intent is simply: CONTROL ALL FLOW OF MONEY, HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION, ARMS, MILITARY, ENTERTAINMENT AND MEDIA. He is well on his way.We are not surfs! We are not Stepford wives! We are not Obama worshipers! We are not socialist/communists! WE ARE PROUD AMERICANS; WE LOVE OUR FREEDOM AND WILL FIGHT FOR IT!!! WE WILL DO IT PEACEFULLY!

No Proof By Douglas J. Hagmann APR 30,10
Part II of an investigative series

http://homelandsecurityus.com/archives/3742

In the first part of this investigative report, background was provided to identify the core legal and constitutional arguments in the matter of Barack Hussein OBAMA II’s eligibility to hold the office of President of the United States. Using my investigative experience, I performed this investigation in compliance with the same industry standards that apply to performing background investigations of individuals selected for corporate positions by Fortune 100 companies.As noted in my initial report, the primary intent of this investigation has been to establish whether Barack Hussein OBAMA has indeed furnished the necessary proof to confirm his eligibility to assume the position of the President of the United States, and whether that proof has been properly authenticated. In other words, this investigation sought to determine whether there are any legitimate questions or concerns over the eligibility issue, or whether the matter has been sufficiently resolved. Or to put it yet another way, is there a legitimate reason to mock, belittle, marginalize, or otherwise consider the so-called Birthers as kooks living on the fringe of conspiracy?

Despite assertions by politicians, media pundits and others, this issue is far from having been resolved. Investigation found that those who will not discuss this issue or mock the questions and those asking the questions either do not fully understand the issue, or have agendas that conflict with the truth being disclosed. This part of the investigation will provide detailed information outlining how that conclusion has been reached, and will offer additional information of relevance pertaining to the narrow scope of the issue of eligibility itself. Additional investigative results in the form of supplemental reports will address the methods being presently employed – and identify those who are employing them – to keep the truth from being made known to the American people.It is the conclusion of this investigator that Barack Hussein OBAMA II has not only failed to provide proof of eligibility, but has and continues to fight efforts to release the proof necessary to confirm that he is legally eligible to occupy his current position as the president of the United States. To be clear, it is important to understand that there is a vast and significant difference between the meaning of the words evidence and proof, although most people use the terms synonymously. While Black’s Law Dictionary offers the legal definition of both terms, they can be easily summarized for the purpose of this investigation as follows: Evidence is something that offers the basis for belief or disbelief, or knowledge on which to base belief, while proof is the establishment of facts by evidence.Clearly, the United States Constitution requires the higher standard of proof and not merely evidence of eligibility to hold the office of President. Contrary to the assertions of representatives speaking on behalf of OBAMA, media accounts and numerous reports on various Internet sites, OBAMA has provided absolutely no proof that he meets the eligibility requirements as of the date of this investigation.Before proceeding, it’s important to understand that the distinction between evidence of proof is neither petty nor is it mere semantics,as the legal definitions between evidence and proof are exceptionally clear, especially in a court of law and especially when considering someone to assume the highest position in U.S. government. In fact, it is this distinction that is being methodically exploited to misrepresent the facts of this case, and to pejoratively label anyone who continues to demand proof as a birther.

Certification of Live Birth as proof

Clearly, the image of the Certification of Live Birth is a large part of the eligibility question. Much debate and discussion has taken place over the image’s authenticity and provenance. As noted, that document first appeared in JPEG image format on or about 12 July 2008 on the political website DailyKos, and was subsequently published on the OBAMA-backed website Fight the Smears and also on www.FactCheck.org.Controversy became rampant as numerous analyses of the image at each site suggested that in certain cases, alterations to the image were made. The controversy became exacerbated by the obvious revisions made to that image that appeared on various web sites to such an extent that the accusations distracted from the most basic of issues: The Certification of Live Birth, even if authenticated, is not legally sufficient to be considered proof of citizenship and therefore, is legally insufficient to be prove the eligibility of Barack Hussein OBAMA II. Accordingly, the long form,or vault copy of the actual birth certificate needs to be released for the legal burden of proof to be satisfied.The release of the authenticated long form of OBAMA’s birth certificate will identify the parents, the exact location of birth, as well as the source of the information provided on that form. By virtue of the legal definition and standards of proof, it is the only document suitable to meet the legal definition of proof, and the only document that will contain all of the necessary information to prove or disprove his eligibility to hold office.While investigation of possible alterations of the JPEG of the COLB posted and presented as genuine on a site sanctioned by OBAMA or those representing him could become relevant in a separate criminal investigation, the topic is subordinate to and detracts from the primary issue of OBAMA’s eligibility. Analysis of the JPEG image purported to be that of OBAMA’s Certification of Live Birth is beyond the scope of this investigation, especially since the document itself (and not a JPEG image of the document) has not been made accessible for review. Nonetheless, allegations of alteration must be properly investigated as any evidence of alterations with the intent to deceive, done by an individual or group acting in an official capacity, can be used to illustrate a course of conduct that might later prove useful in the venue of a criminal investigation.

The authenticity of the Certification of Live Birth notwithstanding, it is the conclusion of this investigator that OBAMA has not only failed to produce the appropriate form necessary to prove eligibility (the vault copy or long form birth certificate), but has gone to significant lengths to keep that form from being released.Investigation into this area has produced sufficient evidence to indicate that representatives of Barack Hussein OBAMA II, either at his direction or with his knowledge and consent, posted or caused to be posted the Certification of Live Birth at the Fight the Smears website, claiming the document is incontrovertible proof of his citizenship status and thus, his eligibility to hold the office of President. At that site, the Certification of Live Birth is improperly labeled and presented to the visitors as Barack Obama’s Official Birth Certificate.It is, in fact and reality, no such document.When one considers the text above the image as shown above, it is reasonable to question the intent of the site operators with regard to improperly representing that the document is something it is not, and to allege that those claiming Barack Obama doesn’t have a birth certificate aren’t actually about that piece of paper — they’re about manipulating people into thinking Barack is not an American citizen.It would appear that the actual manipulation is not originating from anyone asking reasonable, fact-based questions, but by those who deceitfully represent that the image of the COLB is an actual birth certificate.

Arguments used to deflect the truth

To be sure, there are numerous individuals and groups who claim that the presentation of the Certification of Live Birth is sufficient to prove Obama’s Constitutional eligibility. In January 2009, Janice OKUBO, director of communications for the Hawaii Department of Health, stated that the COLB provides sufficient information to answer all of the questions surrounding OBAMA’s eligibility. To illustrate her assertion, she noted that the COLB lists OBAMA’s location of birth as Honolulu, Hawaii:If you were born in Bali, for example, you could get a certificate from the state of Hawaii saying you were born in Bali. You could not get a certificate saying you were born in Honolulu. The state has to verify a fact like that for it to appear on the certificate.As noted in the previous section of this report, it is important to understand that the COLB does not provide the critical information pertaining to OBAMA’s parents, the exact location of birth, or the source of information provided. Only one document (of current relevance) will provide that information: an authenticated copy of the long form or vault copy of the birth certificate of Barack Hussein OBAMA II. In an article titled Born in the U.S.A originally published on 21 August 2008 and updated on 1 November 2008, FactCheck.org also attempted to quell further questions of OBAMA’s eligibility by commenting on the Certification of Live Birth:FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as supporting documents to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.This assertion is a bit more misleading, as the author refers to the Certification of Live Birth as a birth certificate.In other words, the staffers examined the COLB, not the long form or vault copy of the birth certificate of Barack Hussein OBAMA II. The affirmation that the COLB is genuine notwithstanding, only one document (of current relevance) will provide that information: an authenticated copy of the long form or vault copy of the birth certificate of Barack Hussein OBAMA II.

In summary, arguments over the authenticity of the COLB are nothing more than a distraction from the primary issue: the Certification of Live Birth, even if authenticated, is not legally sufficient to be considered proof of citizenship and therefore, is legally insufficient to be prove the eligibility of Barack Hussein OBAMA II. Accordingly, the long form,or vault copy of the actual birth certificate needs to be released for the legal burden of proof to be satisfied. And THAT is the document that Barack Hussein OBAMA II continues to fight against being released.

Nomination without proof

It is reasonable to ask how any individual could successfully secure the nomination of their respective party if they did not furnish the necessary proof of eligibility as required by the U.S. Constitution. This question is especially relevant considering the intense examination of Senator John McCAIN as candidate for the Republican Party. A follow-up and equally reasonable question is who would allow such an event to occur absent of such proof, and who would have had to known about the potential controversy in advance? A prevailing yet erroneous theory is that for one to believe that Barack Hussein OBAMA II is not constitutionally eligible to hold the office of President of the United States, there must be a massive conspiracy that involves numerous individuals and multiple levels of government.Although one would reasonably suspect that there had to have been a large number of co-conspirators involved in such an act, the opposite is actually true.An investigation into this issue found that only the chairperson of each party (the party’s national convention that nominates the candidate) has to sign an Official Certification of Nomination,which is the recognized legal instrument that affirms that the party’s candidate meets all of the eligibility requirements to hold the office of President. In the case of Barack Hussein OBAMA II, that responsibility fell with Ms. Nancy PELOSI. It is a surprisingly simple process that is completed following the official nomination of the candidate for office, and is usually filed immediately after the close of the party’s convention.In the case of Barack Hussein OBAMA, PELOSI signed the affirmation of eligibility in her capacity as Chair of the Democratic National Convention along with Alice GERMOND, the Secretary of the Democratic National Convention. Her signature, affixed and notarized to this legal instrument, was viewed as sufficient documentation by the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) that both OBAMA and BIDEN were duly nominated and met the Constitutional eligibility requirements,according to an official interviewed by this investigator at the FEC in Washington, DC. According to this FEC official, no further verification was required or performed at any level [within the FEC].Unsurprisingly, repeated attempts by this investigator to secure information from Ms. PELOSI’s Washington, DC office for information about the eligibility and background verification process were not answered as of the date of this report. Meanwhile, one Washington insider with ties to the FEC told this investigator that the process of filing the Official Certification of Nomination is easier than getting a DC driver’s license. No one asks any questions and the process is nothing more than a mere formality,stated this source.

Oddities surrounding the Official Certification of Nomination affidavits

One very suspicious circumstance verified during the course of this investigation involves the production and filing of the Official Certification of Nomination forms. Numerous web sites and open sources have furnished two images of the same affidavit as best illustrated at the web site operated by Reverend James David MANNING (at this link). Under the heading of Exhibit 6 at this location are two nomination documents, each with different wording as to the certification of the candidates.This investigator took steps to verify the authenticity of the original documents and not the Internet copies. Using a federal index system of certified election documents, the authenticity of both documents was established and it was verified that both exist on file. Additionally, this investigator and Judi McLeod, founder and editor of Canada Free Press, interviewed Reverend MANNING in February 2010 about this and other matters, in a further attempt to secure bona fide documentation about OBAMA’s background and the authentication of documents. Reverend MANNING noted the discrepancies in the wording, and has since conducted his own inquiries of these documents.Interestingly, the wording within the certifications is significantly different; one contains the Constitutional certification clause within the body of the document, while the other does not. The different wording of these two separate documents is detailed as follows:

Document with Constitutional certification clause:THIS IS TO CERTIFY that at the National Convention of the Democrat Party of the United States of America, held in Denver, Colorado on August 25 through 28, 2008, the following were duly nominated as candidates of said Party for President and Vice President of the United States respectively and that the following candidates for President and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution.Document without Constitutional certification clause:THIS IS TO CERTIFY that at the National Convention of the Democrat Party of the United States of America, held in Denver, Colorado on August 25 though 28, 2008, the following were duly nominated as candidates of said Party for President and Vice President of the United States respectively.During the course of this investigation, attempts were made by this investigator to have the differences between documents explained by various government officials within the Federal Elections Commission (FEC). Despite numerous attempts, no explanations were obtained. The absence of the constitutionality clause remains of significant concern to this investigator and is an area that requires further exploration.This discrepancy was also addressed in an article written by Canada Free Press columnist JB Williams on 24 April 2010. In that article, Mr. Williams accurately described the difference in documents:Note that the language which certifies that Barack Hussein Obama meets all constitutional qualifications is missing in the DNC documents filed in 49 of the 50 states. The certification of constitutional qualification for the office of president was filed only in Hawaii. That text is missing in the DNC certification filings for all other states.Whereas the RNC filed the exact same certification document, including the constitutional text for John McCain in all 50 states, Obama was technically certified in only one state, Hawaii.

Prior knowledge of eligibility problems

That the process of filing the Official Certification of Nomination is indeed a simple one and rests on the sworn statements of two individuals, it is not intended to mean that others did not possess prior knowledge of OBAMA’s failure to provide sufficient proof of eligibility. In fact, as early as 2005, some individuals presently serving in his administration appear to have known that the eligibility issue relative to his citizenship might become a future problem.A twenty-six page article written by Sarah P. HERLIHY was published in the Chicago-Kent Law Review, Volume 81:275 titled Amending the Natural Born Citizen Requirement: Globalization as the Impetus and the Obstacle.The date of publication is 22 February 2006, although the article appears to have been written by HERLIHY in late 2005. As the title implies, the author argues that Article II of the U.S. Constitution inhibits globalization of the U.S. She further opines that the provision is discriminatory, outdated, and undemocratic. On page fifteen of her article, HERLIHY references several hypothetical arguments that bear an eerie likeness to the not-so hypothetical implementation of policies we are witnessing under the OBAMA administration.The HERLIHY BRIEF,as I have labeled it, is interesting on several levels, but relevant on one level in particular: HERLIHY was employed as an associate by Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, a Chicago, Illinois based law firm with offices worldwide. Further investigation found that a senior partner of that same firm, Bruce I. ETTELSON, was a former member on the finance committee of Barack Hussein OBAMA II when he was a Senator in Illinois. Could this be a mere coincidence, or perhaps an attempt to break psychological barriers while grooming a future President?

That, combined with legislative efforts during the 2008 campaign involving McCAIN’s eligibility (as documented in Part I of this report), appear to suggest a broader level of knowledge among individuals that the issue of eligibility as it relates to the U.S. Constitution, might present a future problem.

A mission gone wrong?

John O. BRENNAN is currently the assistant to President OBAMA and Deputy National Security Adviser for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism. Until he began working for OBAMA, BRENNAN was the CEO of a firm called the Analysis Corporation, a government subcontractor whose work involved providing intelligence-related consulting services to federal agencies. In 2008, a contract employee of BRENNAN’s firm was caught inappropriately accessing certain passport files in the State Department’s passport office. BRENNAN’s firm was cited in March, 2008 for breaching sensitive files, including the passport files of Hillary Rodham CLINTON, John McCAIN and Barack Hussein OBAMA.On 21 March 2008, U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack confirmed that the contractor from BRENNAN’s company had accessed the passport files of the presidential candidates that included OBAMA. It is significant to note that the passport files include a virtual treasure trove of personal information, including an applicant’s name, social security number, date and place of birth. The files would likely contain additional information including original or authenticated copies of birth certificates, naturalization certificates, or oaths of allegiance for U.S.-born persons who adopted the citizenship of a foreign country as minors.It should be noted that at the time of the incident, BRENNAN was working as an unpaid adviser to the Obama campaign and was said to have virtually unfettered access to the candidate. BRENNAN, of course, denounced the actions of the employee.

The nature of the breach,according to intelligence sources close to this investigator, confirmed that the target of the unlawful access was the file containing documents related to Barack Hussein OBAMA (a fact that was originally reported in an article written by Ken Timmerman for NewsMax.com). This is significant, of course, as OBAMA has not permitted the release of his passport records or the documentation contained in that file.It is important to note that this was not the first breach, nor the only one. At least two other incidents that resulted in the termination or other disciplinary action took place in the several months around this same time period. This breach, however, was different, and the difference between this incident and the others must not be dismissed as it is directly related to the potential disclosure of personal information of Barack Hussein OBAMA II, including his original, long form birth certificate. This incident involved more than a curious subcontractor worker; it involved other co-conspirators, including an unidentified contact within the U.S. State Department itself.Research into the three separate incidents was performed, noting that two of those incidents were somewhat limited in terms of what was accessed. The breach that involved HARRIS, however, as often happens with the use of unmanageable criminal assets,went dangerously awry.

Following this incident, federal investigators identified a cooperative witness with direct information about the breach of the passport records – allegedly by accident. That individual, identified as Leiutenant Harris Junior, 24, was stopped for a minor traffic infraction on 25 March 2008, and was found to be in possession of stolen credit cards and documents that were traced back to the breach of the passport records. (Copy of arrest record here in PDF format) HARRIS, known to DC police, began working with federal authorities to strike a deal as they expanded their investigation into the passport incident. According to a review of the arrest record, HARRIS admitted to investigating officers that he obtained the documents from (an unnamed) co-conspirator who works for the U.S. Department of State [emphasis added by this author].Less than a month later, HARRIS was found with a single bullet wound to his head on Thursday, 17 April 2008, inside of his car that was parked in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Washington, DC. HARRIS was described as an important witness in the breach of the passport records. While his death was attributed to an increase in violence in the city, at least one detective interviewed by this investigator is not too sure.It’s an awfully big coincidence, and you know how I feel about coincidences,stated this homicide detective.I’ve considered that it was someone tying up loose ends,he added. The murder of HARRIS remains unsolved.

Legal stonewalls

From an investigative perspective, the reluctance of Barack Hussein OBAMA to release an authenticated copy of his actual long form birth certificate is as revealing as it is troubling. The exact number of lawsuits filed within the last two years to legally compel Barack Hussein OBAMA to release a copy of his authenticated, long form birth certificate is unknown. According to Canada Free Press columnist JB Williams in an article he wrote on 24 April 2010 discloses that OBAMA has spent in excess of $2 million in legal fees [to prevent the release of that document]. Mr. Williams stated nobody spends $2 million in legal fees to hide an authentic birth certificate. At least no one who is not hell bent on hiding information of significance.Mr. Williams also notes that [I]n every instance, the lawsuits were dismissed prior to discovery, or the legal process that in these cases, permit the petitioning party to review evidence relevant to the lawsuit.From an investigative perspective, the most obvious and nagging question is why Barack Hussein OBAMA II has refused and continues to refuse to authorize the release of that document for review. Consistent with the background investigations I have conducted on behalf of Fortune 500 and 100 companies, such a refusal would be sufficient cause to automatically dismiss the individual seeking the high-level executive position from such consideration. By comparison to the 150 or so investigations of this type I have performed over the last 25 years, I have yet to find anyone under consideration for such a position to refuse this most routine and basic request. Moreover, I have never experienced anyone who has not only refused to do so, but spent extraordinary sums of money in legal fees to fight against such disclosure.The authenticated long form birth certificate is not the only document of interest that OBAMA refused to provide, but it is the most salient and direct method of furnishing proof to answer the eligibility issue once and for all.Barack Hussein OBAMA II promised transparency to the American people during his campaign and if elected, during his time in office of President. Yet, that promise of transparency has been replaced with walls of lawyers and an administration of individuals who have mounted an unprecedented campaign of opacity. In addition to his actual birth certificate, OBAMA has refused to release the following records that would provide insight into the individual currently occupying the highest office in the United States:

•Official U.S. passport records
•Medical records
•Occidental College records & transcripts
•Columbia College records & transcripts
•Harvard College records
•State of Illinois Bar Records
•Private practice law client list
Each of the above records would be considered relevant to his position as President, and most previous presidents have themselves authorized the release of such information for public review. Requesting the release of the above records is certainly reasonable, and is consistent with the requests of previous administrations.Of course, cursory research of various web sites will provide lists of other documents undisclosed by OBAMA, including but not limited to his natural parent’s marriage license, records from overseas primary schools, and even his Baptismal certificate, if one even exists. Also included by some sites are his adoption records, various grade school and high school transcripts, and published articles that he would have authored while enrolled in college. While the release of such records would indeed prove enlightening, they are not necessarily intrinsic to the issue of his Constitutional eligibility.The production of a single document could put this entire controversy to rest: the long form birth certificate. As noted in this investigative segment, it is that single document that OBAMA has not only refused to release or authorize to be released, but has spent an estimated $2 million to keep under wraps.

Coming next: The money & people behind the fight

Our Undocumented White House Resident(BARRY SOETORO-AKA BARACK OBAMA)By JB Williams Tuesday, May 4, 2010 CANADA FREE PRESS

I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.This quote is taken directly from Vattel’s book on the Law of Nations, which has been a world recognized and time honored reference guide to understanding natural law,and the natural birthrights of national citizenship recognized by all civilized nations for more than two-hundred and fifty years.Emerich de Vattel was a Swiss philosopher, diplomat, and legal expert who lived from 1714 – 1767, and whose theories laid the foundation of modern international law and political philosophy. Vattel’s book on the Law of Nations was released in 1758; in English, The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law Applied to the Conduct and to the Affairs of Nations and of Sovereigns.Vattel’s book established many time honored standards of natural law recognized the world over and it is an historical reference regarding the Constitutional eligibility requirement for the offices of President and Vice President, Natural Born Citizen, found in Article II – Section I – Clause V.

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.Vattel confirms in clear concise language what a natural-born citizen of a nation is…The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent.In other words, by nature’s law - not by way of man-made statute. In fact, unalienable by way of man-made statute, as mans law cannot alter or overcome the laws of nature. This is in fact international law via the Law of Nations. It is not enough that a sovereign nation identify its citizens. Other nations must recognize the rights of sovereign citizens from foreign lands.

Unconfirmed Obama Scenarios
•Obama was not born in Hawaii, but rather Kenya. He would in this case be a naturalized citizen (IF) he went through the standard US Naturalization process. He would in no way be a natural-born citizen in this possible scenario. Obama has thus far refused to prove beyond any doubt that he was born in Hawaii.
•Obama was born in Hawaii, but to a US mother and Kenyan Father. In this possible scenario, Obama could be a native-born citizen of the US. He would certainly be a natural-born citizen of Kenya, due to the birthrights of his father. This would make Obama a dual citizen with divided national loyalties. On this basis, he would not pass the test for office, but would be the poster-child for why the natural-born citizen clause exists.

•Following scenario (1) or (2), Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetoro. In this case, Obama’s mother would have exchanged his US claim to citizenship for citizenship of Indonesia, as the adoptive son of Lolo Soetoro, for which he has at times claimed the name Barry Soetoro,citizen of Indonesia. Even if Obama had endured a naturalization process to return to US citizenship status, he would then be a naturalized-citizen rather than a natural-born citizen eligible for the office he currently holds.As the term citizen is very broad and includes naturalized citizens, it is NOT the requirement for the office of president or vice president.As the term native-born relates only to place of birth,and is also not the stated requirement for the Oval Office mentioned in Article II – Section I, it has no bearing on the matter of Obama’s eligibility for office.Our Founding Fathers could not have been any more specific about the requirements for the office of president, NO PERSON except a NATURAL-BORN Citizen.It isn’t their fault that too many Americans don’t care about or can’t comprehend this term or the purpose behind it today.Vattel could not have been any more clear about the definition of natural-born citizen,I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.

The 14th Amendment Obama Defense
The Dred Scott Decision - was a decision by the United States Supreme Court that ruled that people of African descent imported into the United States and held as slaves, or their descendants [2]—whether or not they were slaves—were not protected by the Constitution. Elks Vs Wilkins (1872) - was an issue concerning native born Indian’s born on Indian reservations and whether or not their loyalty to the Indian tribe was enough to deny them US citizenship, unrelated to the subject of natural born citizenship and Article II. Slaughterhouse Cases (1872) was a case on the 14th Amendments, once again, regarding immigration and naturalization, which of course does not pertain to natural born citizens at all. Minor vs Happersett (1874) - is another 14th Amendment case, regarding women’s right to vote, as equal citizens.

US Vs Wong Kim Ark (1898) - was a case of native born citizenship - when both parents were immigrants from China, naturalized US citizens who gave birth to a son on US soil before returning to China. The son was held up upon returning from a trip to China, but was granted re-entry as a native-born citizen, having been born on US soil to two immigrant parents. Once again, immigration and no relationship whatsoever to natural born citizenship. Perkins Vs Elg (1939) - also a ruling on acquired citizenship for children of alien parentage…. immigration and naturalization.Schneider Vs Rusk (1964) - was a 5th Amendment case, relative passport and travel rights to immigrant citizens… Rogers Vs Bellei (1971) - Appellee challenges the constitutionality of § 301(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which provides that one who acquires United States citizenship by virtue of having been born abroad to parents, one of whom is an American citizen, who has met certain residence requirements, shall lose his citizenship unless he resides in this country continuously for five years between the ages of 14 and 28. Now, every case listed is completely unrelated to natural born citizen and Article II of the Constitution. All of them were cases revolving around immigration and naturalization laws. So, are the people ignorant or unable to read? Or are they simply willing to stretch the truth, assuming that you won’t bother to check their facts?

The Bottom Line on Obama

He is NOT a natural-born citizen of the United States of America, no matter which Obot propaganda argument you choose to buy. He can, therefore, not legally hold the office of President or Vice President of the United States and all laws and orders given while he fraudulently holds that office are null and void.Legal US citizens or sovereign states are NOT obligated to follow illegal laws from a fraudulent resident of the people’s White House. Obama has no constitutional standing as an undocumented resident of the Oval Office.

Running Out of Options

With each passing day, our nation is being driven deeper and deeper into irreversible disaster. Obama & Co. have no intention of backing up or backing off their anti-American agenda of global Marxism via American assets.The courts have never ruled on Obama’s constitutional standing. In fact, they have refused to hear evidence from the people on the matter, or force Obama to unseal all of his records to answer legitimate questions coming from a growing number of US citizens.Before only violent options for upholding the rule of law remain, the people MUST find a peaceful means by which to force Obama to become transparent.Vattel’s book on the Law of Nations (internationally recognized citizenship laws) was released in 1758. Unlike modern society, many of our Founding Fathers were quite familiar with the language of the original book. They did not need to wait for English translation in order to read or understand the book, or the Law of Nations at the foundation of Vattel’s book.For the record, pretty much all informed people recognize Vattel’s writings as the authority on the subject, even those who have trouble understanding what he wrote and don’t agree with his opinions. He was in fact a well-known legal scholar of that era, one that most Founding Fathers were quite familiar with. The book was released eighteen years before our Declaration of Independence and twenty-nine years before those words natural-born citizen appeared in Article II of our US Constitution.

Our Founders were VERY well read individuals.

Further, it is NOT enough for each nation to recognize only their own citizens. Other nations MUST recognize and respect the sovereign citizens and related rights of other nations, hence the purpose for the Law of Nations, or a set standard recognized by all civilized nations.Cut off from all peaceful remedies, I hate to think of what happens when patriotic American souls take matters into their own hands.One thing is certain, however… It is NOT within the U.S. DNA to live in fear of our government for very long. Americans prefer peace, but will in the end defend freedom, liberty, and our rule of law at any cost. We will not leave this nation in ruins for future generations. We hate tyranny worse than death…I call upon all peace-loving patriots to find a peaceful solution before only violent solutions remain.

There is no such thing as a pro-war American citizen. There are only pro-American citizens unwilling to exchange their freedom and liberty for a moment of faux temporary peace.May God guide the hearts, minds and hands of all patriots, in this time of great national challenge.

Greek loans will be ready in time, EU says-Eurozone states will make a critical mass of funds available to Greece on time, said the commission (Photo: P.L. Vaarkamp Photography)ANDREW WILLIS 04.05.2010 @ 17:43 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The European Commission has insisted that eurozone states will provide enough money to help Greece meet a looming 19 May debt deadline, despite parliamentary hurdles in a number of countries. At the same time, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero hit out at market speculation as being unfounded on Tuesday (4 May), after Spanish shares suffered sharp losses during the day.We will be ready on time to meet the needs of Greece in terms of refinancing. By mid-May there will be a critical mass [of funds available],commission economy spokesman Amadeu Altafaj told a regular news briefing in Brussels.Procedures in some euro area members will last longer than in others, but that was clear since the beginning.Euro area finance ministers on Sunday agreed to make loans worth €80 billion available to Greece over three years, with the IMF contributing a further €30billion. However, investors have questioned the ability of some governments to quickly achieve parliamentary approval for the loans, a process necessary in a number of member states. Deputies in France's lower chamber overwhelmingly approved the aid legislation during an emergency session late on Monday night, with the senate expected to do likewise on Thursday. France has agreed to provide €16.8 billion in bilateral loans to Athens, although Monday night's vote only covered this year's anticipated transfers of €3.9 billion. The German government, set to contribute €22.4 billion over the three year period, is racing to achieve parliamentary approval by Friday. Debate amongst the country's parliamentarians has already proved to be heated, with crucial regional elections taking place on Sunday and with polls indicating a majority of German citizens are against providing support to Athens. The country's tabloid newspaper Bild has led a media campaign against the loans.

Elections are also proving a factor in Slovakia, where on Monday Prime Minister Robert Fico appeared to toughen his stance on providing Greece with a bilateral loan. We want to see laws approved by the parliament leading to cuts in salaries, pensions and social benefits. Until then the Slovak cabinet will not authorise its loan,Mr Fico told journalists. Parliamentary elections in Slovakia are less than six weeks away, with a majority of political parties opposed to Greek support.In a bid to convince partners and markets it is serious about implementing reforms, the Greek government on Tuesday presented draft legislation outlining a package of budgetary saving measures to parliament, with a vote expected on Thursday. A 48-hour-long public sector strike also got underway and is expected to intensify on Wednesday.

Spanish stocks tumble

Analysts have repeatedly warned that any agreement on a Greek bail-out could cause markets to turn their attention towards Portugal and Spain, also seen as weak eurozone economies. On Tuesday, Spanish stocks suffered heavy loses, especially in the banking sector. Speaking in Brussels, the country's Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, said market doubts over the Spanish economy are unfounded.I need to confirm that whatever other speculation there is regarding the eurozone, it is unfounded and irresponsible,he said.We ask all actors to look at the real data.At 55 percent of GDP, Spain's debt level is roughly 20 percent below the European average, insisted Mr Zapatero, who also pointed to fresh statistics on Tuesday indicating that the country's exceptionally high unemployment rate had retreated marginally. It still hovers around the 20 percent mark. In a further bid to calm investor doubts, the Socialist politician is set to meet with the main conservative opposition leader on Wednesday to discuss the economy and aid to Greece, the first formal meeting between the two men since October 2008. Markets would be likely to welcome any signs of co-operation between the country's two main parties, easing doubts over the government's capacity to push through a package of painful austerity measures, intended to cut Spain's budget deficit from the 2009 level of 11.2 percent.

EU ministers agree to fast-track Single Sky
VALENTINA POP 04.05.2010 @ 17:43 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – EU transport ministers on Tuesday (4 May) agreed to fast-track Single European Sky measures aimed at a greater integration of national airspaces, following the recent disruption of air traffic due to the Icelandic ash cloud.Under the decision, a European air network manager would be put in place before the end of this year in order to facilitate decision-making among the bloc's 27 national authorities. The new manager would not preempt national sovereignty on opening or closing airspace, however, EU transport commissioner Siim Kallas said during a press conference, noting the philosophical question of relinquishing state powers to Brussels, which is always a sensitive matter among member states.It was never supposed to be a super-national authority, but a co-ordination mechanism. The final decision will still rest in the hands of member states,he said.The new body, which was initially scheduled to be in place by 1 January 2011, would help co-ordinate decisions among national air traffic managers.It could be based at Eurocontrol, the body currently pooling data and facilitating international flights in 38 European countries, including non-EU members Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and the Balkan states.Brussels-based Eurocontrol on Tuesday welcomed the ministers' decision to fast track the Single European Sky package, as well as measures aimed at establishing more accurate safety standards as to when volcanic ash makes it too dangerous to fly.

The initial response to the April ash cloud - shutting down almost all of European airspace - has since proved to have been exaggerated, but understandable, since it was an unprecedented situation and since the tolerable levels of ash for an aircraft to fly safely were not known at the time.Ministers said they wanted the relevant authorities responsible for flight safety, to develop without delay binding limit values, at EU level, which clearly defines the safety envelope of engines and aircrafts as regards the risk of volcanic ashes.The EU's own air safety agency (EASA), which has kept a low profile during the ash crisis, will also be bolstered and assume its new competences, particularly on air traffic management, before 2012.

The French and German ministers also stressed, in separate briefings, the need to have binding rules, based on scientific evidence, as to when a plane can fly or not.
It's simply not acceptable that every country just does what it wants. We need consistent rules,said German minister Peter Ramsauer. His French colleague Dominique Bussereau called for an efficient and fast system for managing such a crisis.Spanish transport minister Jose Blanco, who chaired the meeting, had maps of Tuesday's new volcanic ash cloud spreading over Ireland and Scotland, underlining the risk that aviation chaos could return and hurt Europe during the peak summer travel season.The Irish minister, Noel Dempsey, could not make it to Brussels for the meeting, as the country grounded flights in the morning due to the fresh plume of debris.

MEPs fine-tune tactics on diplomatic service
HONOR MAHONY 04.05.2010 @ 17:41 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Members of the European Parliament are busy fine-tuning their tactics to make sure they get the crucial points on their lengthy wish-list incorporated into the EU's new diplomatic service.With EU governments having given political agreement to the blueprint for the service last week, the focus is now on the parliament, which has co-decision powers on key aspects of the new institution.
German centre-right MEP Elmar Brok, whose report on the External Action Service (EAS) is to adopted before member states can formally sign off the blueprint, was keen to stress the importance of tactical manuoeuvring during debates in the constitutional and foreign affairs committee on Tuesday (4 May).He said that parliament's decision to treat his non-binding opinion and its binding legal decisions on the EAS' financial and staff regulations as a single package is designed to ensure that member states cannot renege on agreements when the service comes up for review in 2013.Parliament is angling to include as many of its demands as possible into the changed rules on the EAS financial and staff regulations, where the EU assembly has equal say alongside member states.The Council is at liberty to change its decision [in the 2013 review] to our disadvantage. So we have to take full advantage of that in our tactics,Mr Brok said. So this is why we have to take the decision in the full knowledge of what it says it the staff regulation. Only then, only after that, can we put forward a report.

MEPs' wish-list

Belgian liberal MEP Guy Verhofstadt, co-author of Mr Brok's report, listed about a dozen points that the parliament would like to see incorporated into the service, which is supposed to have around 8,000 personnel once it is up and running and is to give greater clarity to the EU's foreign policy.The points include making the EAS politically and financially accountable to the parliament, ensuring geographical and gender balance, giving MEPs access to sensitive documents and ensuring internal coherence within the service. The wish-list also seeks to make sure there is a clear political responsibility within the service for crisis management operations.Mr Verhofstadt indicated that accountability, the budget and the lines of command on development policy are the main problems. He noted that if member states can't go along with parliament, MEPs would simply submit more amendments calling for all areas where the commission traditionally has powers, such as neighbourhood policy, to be taken out of the service and given back to the commission.Parliament is particularly keen to see a comprehensive budget that does not separate administrative and operational spending, as member states want.However, this is also something of a red line for member states, which want more independence over administrative decisions.The fact that we are requesting a certain independence with regard to budget and with regard to staff is due to the fact that this has been the political condition for the Council in order to accept a broad service - a service that ranges from traditional community external policy to crisis management to militarty operation,said Poul Skytte Christoffersen, a top advisor to EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.

A different world

If we don't accept a certain distance and a certain independence with regard to staff and budget that basic political condition falls away and we are in a completely different world,he added.He pressed parliament to make progress quickly saying time is of the essence.Some MEPs are also conscious of the time issue, but apparently as much out of a fear that a decision should be made before a possible British Conservative government gets into power. Brussels fears that the eurosceptic Tories, should they be elected into power later this week, will obstruct the setting up of the service.Referring to the eve of the British election,UK liberal MEP Andrew Duff said: It's very important we get this thing in place as fast as possible.

Hizbullah Scud Missiles are Just the Tip of the Iceberg
by Gil Ronen MAY 4,10


The Scud missiles transferred from Syria to Hizbullah recently are just the tip of the iceberg,a top IDF intelligence officer told the Knesset Tuesday.Brigadier General Yossi Baidatz, Head of Research Division in Military Intelligence, gave a situation assessment Tuesday to the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

Syria has a very prominent role in enlarging the arsenal of rockets in Hizbullah's hands,he said.Weapons transfers to Hizbullah from Syria are carried out in a regular manner and are arranged by the Syrian and Iranian regimes. Therefore this should not be termed weapons smuggling to Lebanon – it is an organized, officially sanctioned process.Even without the recent Scud transfers, Baidatz said, Hizbullah possesses an arsenal of thousands of rockets of all types and ranges including solid-fuel missiles with a longer range and more accuracy [than the Scuds].The long range of Syria's Scuds makes it possible for them to position their missiles deep inside Lebanon, and they cover much longer ranges than what we were familiar with in the past. Hizbullah Model 2010 is different from Hizbullah Model 2006 as far as military capability, which has greatly developed.Syria continues to march down two paths without being made to choose between them by the international community, he said. On the one hand, it is improving its relations with the West, with Arab states and with Turkey, and is going back to wielding influence in Lebanon; and at the same time it is deepening its strategic and operative cooperation with Iran.

Greece Makes Israel Slip, World Markets Slide
by Malkah Fleisher MAY 4,10


The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) saw a drop on Tuesday, in the wake of an announced bailout plan for a financially faltering Greece that analysts speculate will not succeed in saving the country.As has been the case since Athens' stock was labeled junk by Standard and Poor's on April 27, however, Tel Aviv has experienced less economic instability than many other major countries.The Standard and Poor's rating agency downgraded Greek bonds last month due to concerns that Greece would not be able to pay back 300 million euros in debt.Now, the European Union (EU) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) have reached an agreement with Greece, offering to provide it with 110 billion euros in rescue loans over 3 years. The deal mandates heavy tax increases as well as salary and pension cuts for civil servants. Public spending will be hacked by 40 billion euros. As for the aid package, two-thirds of the money is to come from the other 15 EU member countries, with the rest coming from the IMF.The deal did not spell relief for the global marketplace, however. Stock markets around the world suffered Tuesday, as analysts predicted the massive rescue operation would fail, and worried that if faltering Spain or Portugal needed aid, a package would be even harder to assemble.

The Tel Aviv 25 Index fell 1.70% Tuesday, with the Tel Aviv 100 Index falling 1.88%. The shekel traded at 3.737 shekels to the dollar, with the shekel-euro exchange rate falling to a 30-month low of 4.906 euros to the dollar.The fall was steeper on Wall Street. As of 3:45pm EST, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had fallen 2.34%, with the Nasdaq sinking 3.5%.European countries fared even worse. In Germany and the United Kingdom, stock markets dropped 2.6%. They fell 3.6% in France, 4.2% in Portugal, 5.4% in Spain, and 6.7% in Greece. Protests and riots are erupting in Greece, particularly by trade unions, which say the impending cuts are unfair.

Austria Joins Iranian Axis, along with Indonesia
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu MAY 4,10


Austria’s warm welcome this week of Iranian’s foreign minister, along with its increasing trade relations with the Islamic Republic, signal Iran’s widening axis that already stretches to South America. Indonesia, which hosts the world’s largest Muslim population, also has embraced Iran’s strategic ties.Austria’s friendliness with Iran is even more significant because the European country is one of the rotating members of the United Nations Security Council. It has paid only lip service to sanctions against Iran, Simone Dinah Hartmann, director of Stop the Bomb Austria and co-editor of Iran in the World System, wrote in The Wall Street Journal this week.To what degree Austria…would actually support tough sanctions is more than questionable,she stated, noting that trade with Iran has flourished the past several years in contradiction to policies of other European nations to distant themselves from Tehran.On Sunday, Austrian Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger welcomed his Iranian counterpart, Manouchehr Mottaki, who delivered the opening speech at Tehran’s Holocaust denial conference in 2006.Hartmann pointed out the bitter irony of Austria’s aligning itself with Iran, which vows to wipe Israel off the map. Austria prefers to present itself as Nazi Germany's first victim when in fact it was Hitler's —born and raised in Austria—first collaborator,she wrote.

The United States, Britain and France objected to the Austrian welcome mat for the Iranian official, which featured a friendly reception including hoisting the Islamic Republic flag along that of Austria and the European Union. Vienna has a long tradition of appeasing the Islamic Republic,according to Hartmann. A former foreign minister and former president Kurt Waldheim were the first Western officials in their positions to visit Tehran in the 1980s and 1991.She also charged that several Austrian companies are suspected of working with front companies that are associated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.Bilateral business relations between Austria and Iran are excellent, but still expandable,said the president of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce during a visit to Tehran last year. Austria was once described as the gateway to the European Union by an Iranian minister.

Indonesia
Indonesia also is in Iran’s sights. An Iranian deputy minister, Mohsen Pak-Ayeen, said says that ties with Indonesia could serve as the main capital for planning strategic, deep and all-out ties,the Iranian Fars News Agency reported.Jakarta as far back as 2006 labeled as lies Western claims that Tehran is aiming for nuclear capability. Last week, an Indonesian official attending the observance of the 60th anniversary of Indonesia-Iran diplomatic relations at the National Museum said, Indonesia believes that the Iranian nuclear project is for science and technology development.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

When is America going to wake up? Islamic radicals are here By Laurie Roth May 4,10

Once again we see an attempt at a horrific Islamic terrorist attack in New York by Faisal Shahzad who lived in Bridgeport, Conn. He drove the SUV with a major bomb set up in it hoping to murder 100s or 1000s of New Yorkers this week. He almost did.We know from careful analysis that the bomb was major. Doug Hagmann recently investigated the makings of the bomb and concluded this was no amateurish job. Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was also quick to describe this bomb in Times Square as one off, minimizing it as a one time occurrence. Hagmann described the bomb:The bomb was composed of three filled propane tanks, two 5-gallon containers of gasoline, an ammunition locker type of box filled with inert fertilizer. The triggering mechanism was identified as a can filled with about 2 dozen M-88 type commercial firecrackers hooked to at least one alarm clock. A second alarm clock inside the vehicle was destroyed by fire. The construction of the bomb is very similar in design to the vehicle bombs used in the attempted attack in London in 2007.Isn’t it fascinating that most of what we see by this administration and media in response to domestic attack attempts is manipulative, minimalist and pathetic at best? We saw recently with the Christmas airplane attack and Fort Hood attack…..a 3 day delay before we heard from Obama; Media and Obama saying Don’t rush to judgment regarding the Ft. Hood attacker, which was obviously an Islamic radical in our military, and chronic minimizing of the whole Islamic agenda and danger that surrounds us.

The Christmas attack was within a smoky inch of happening, while the Ft. Hood carnage was horrifyingly real. Now, we see most recently the bomb starting to smoke and explode in the SUV in Times Square, New York. Isn’t it a shock, but it was put there by another Islamic radical from Pakistan, just caught while trying to leave the country. This too was within an inch of happening and wiping out a sea of passing New Yorkers.What do we hear from the leftist idiots? Well, Mayor Bloomberg made sure his glowing, opinion was known with that extraordinary mind, Katie Couric. She asked the Mayor if he thought the bomb was home grown. He went on to speculate that the bomber was most likely mad about ObamaCare and a domestic person, meaning a conservative or Tea Party activist. Bloomberg didn’t say one time in this interview that it could possibly be an Islamic terrorist attack. How quickly we forget when we are a liberal at heart! Never mind, that New York was bloodied and partially gutted in 2001 by Islamic radicals on a Jihad mission. Naturally, now, though we have just had recent attacks on Christmas and with Ft. Hood (many others since 9/11 domestically) we should assume that any new attacks will be domestic terrorists (tea party and conservatives) mad at Obamacare. I knew Bloomberg was a liberal but he now enters my new category of specialness.HE IS DUMB AS A POST.Already, 8 others have been arrested and are in custody in Pakistan in connection with Faisal Shahzad and this attack in New York. Gee, there seems to be an organized, funded, planned and very Islamic radical plan to this New York attack. It was hardly amateur hour, a one time event and tea party attack. Expect more attacks NOT from conservatives or Tea Party folks, but from the usual, Islamic radicals who have infiltrated our country.

Muslim terrorist arrested in attempted Times Square bombing
Others being sought By Douglas J. Hagmann, Director


4 May 2010: Faisal SHAHZAD, 30, a Muslim from Pakistan who was recently naturalized as a U.S. citizen, was arrested late Monday night by Customs and Border Protection agents at JFK airport as he attempted to flee the U.S. to his native Pakistan via Dubai. SHAHZAD was placed on the do-not-fly list earlier Monday based on information developed during the course of the investigation into the attempted vehicle bombing in Time Square. He was identified as the individual who drove the vehicle into Times Square. Authorities are currently investigating SHAHZAD’s U.S. support network in the New York area, including other possible suspects who have not yet been publicly identified.According to information provided to this author by New York authorities, SHAZAD lives in Shelton, Connecticut. He became naturalized in April 2009 shortly before traveling back to Pakistan for a five-month period. SHAHZAD is married and reportedly maintains a wife in Pakistan. His activities while in Pakistan allegedly include meetings with at least one Pakistani based Muslim terrorist organization and time spent at terror training camps, based on information provided to this author.

Also according to information provided by a New York official, investigators are looking into SHAHZAD’s U.S. contacts as the probe into Saturday’s bombing attempt widens. There is no doubt that this was an Islamic inspired, sanctioned and funded attempted terror attack against the citizens of the U.S.,stated the New York official on the strict condition of anonymity.There is a concern that more attacks are being planned by individuals in the U.S.as well as in other countries, especially Pakistan,added this source.Investigators initially identified SHAHZAD through the purchase of the Nissan Pathfinder used in the bombing attempt. Investigators also gathered information about SHAHZAD and other likely suspects from a video message uploaded 24 hours before the attempted attack by a group known as Tehreek-e-Taliban, different from the Pakistani group who originally claimed responsibility for the act. The video featured Qari Hussein MEHSUD, the Pakistani Taliban leader and bomb trainer referencing the Times Square attack and promises for additional terrorist attacks inside the U.S.That video was then followed by the release of two additional video messages from Hakeemullah MEHSUD, the head of the Taliban in Pakistan believed to have been killed in a U.S. missile strike in North Waziristan last January. Although it is important to note the distinction between the messages and the groups, it is interesting to note that all of the videos were posted on the Internet by the Tehreek-e-Taliban, also known as the “Pakistan News Channel.” Additionally, investigation revealed that the messages were recorded sometime in early April.SHAHZAD will be brought to the Manhattan Federal Courthouse today to be formally charged.

Left Media, Bloggers Blame Times Square Bomb on Tea Party

http://www.infowars.com/left-media-bloggers-blame-times-square-bomb-on-tea-party/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJCCRlsw1oE&feature=player_embedded

No need to wait for the authorities to shift the blame for the lame fireworks bomb planted in Times Square on the Tea Party. The chant has already commenced.The suspect is a balding white guy, so it stands to reason the Tea Party is responsible.

Robert Dreyfuss, writing for The Nation, discounts the Taliban link to the Mickey Mouse bomb and blames the Tea Party.It may be that the Pakistan-based Taliban, the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP), has quietly established a Connecticut franchise while we weren’t looking. That’s possible. But it seems far more likely to me that the perpetrator of the bungled Times Square bomb plot was either a lone nut job or a member of some squirrely branch of the Tea Party, anti-government far right. Which actually exists in Connecticut, where, it seems, the car’s license plates were stolen.How does Dreyfuss know it was the Tea Party? Because the Oklahoma City bombing was supposedly pulled off by a white guy. In the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, when self-appointed experts blamed Muslims only to find out that it was a Gulf War veteran named Tim who did it, there has once again been an unseemly rush to judgment.The white guy caught in a video and suspected of placing the bomb with its toy clock looks like your typical Tea Party radical,writes Gather.General consensus is that the perpetrator was a white 40 year old male Christian card carrying member of the Tea Party crowd,declares The Political Jungle blog. In order to make this point, the blogger cites a string of goofy commented posted at Fox News.All speculation at this point, but if I was to place a bet on who did this, I’d go with someone whose sympathies are probably more Tea Party than Taliban, writes Paul Woodward of War in Context.

Election Ink claims the cops have a Tea Party activist in their sights.Anonymous sources have reported that a suspect is currently being questioned in the Bridgeport / New Haven CT area. The suspect is a middle age white male, has a history of strong political views, and considers himself a Tea Party activist. An arrest is expected within days. In a strange twist, the suspect worked in the past as an informant with law enforcement agencies.I don’t know if Election Ink is an Onion spin-off. SodaHead also carried the accusation that a Tea Party activist was behind the absurd non-bombing.Parking a car loaded up with fireworks and propane tanks is a mindset very similar to those of the KKK, the Taliban and guess what — The Tea Party,writes The Rainbow Collective.On and on. It is a feeding frenzy for the government-loving progressives. The corporate media has yet to pin the blame on the Tea Party. In the next few hours or day, they will jump on the bandwagon after officials arrest the white guy captured in the security video now posted all over the web.So who will ultimately be blamed for it? Given Obama’s recent plea to everyone but white males for votes in the upcoming election, it’s safe to say they are going to do everything they can to pin this bombing on the Tea Party Movement. Just wait and see,writes The Nation in Crisis Blog.The establishment is chomping at the bit to blame the Tea Party — not the Republican Borg hive Tea Party, but the real Tea Party — because they are seriously concerned about the political threat posted by millions of Americans sick and tired of authoritarian government and its truckling to the banksters.It’s not enough to brazenly slander the entire movement as racist. Now the Tea Party will be linked to terrorism in order to scare away supporters before the mid-term elections.

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

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

Gulf Coast watches, waits for path of oil spill By HARRY R. WEBER and VICKI SMITH, Associated Press Writers - MAY 4,10

NEW ORLEANS – Restaurateurs, hotel owners, fishermen and beachfront property owners watched and waited for the weather and ocean currents to choose where a bulk of the oil from a calamitous Gulf of Mexico spill would finally wash ashore.The consequences of the 200,000 gallons a day of crude spewing from a blown-out underwater well on those whose livelihoods rely on the richness of the sealife in the waters was obvious. Fishing has been shut down in federal waters from the Mississippi River to the Florida Panhandle, leaving boats idle Monday in the middle of the prime spring season. A special shrimping season will close Tuesday evening.

Inns and restaurants that count on tourists attracted to the beautiful blue-green waters and sandy white beaches already are getting calls about the spill, which has flirted with the coastlines before receding, mostly because of the weather.You mentally want to push it back to the west, and then you feel guilty for doing so, said Jan Grant, manager at the St. George Inn on St. George Island, Fla., about the path the spill might take.Engineers from BP PLC have failed to invent a solution to halt the gusher that's been spewing into the sea since an offshore drilling platform blew up and sank last month and killed 11 workers. BP operated the rig that was owned by Transocean Ltd.Chemical dispersants seemed to be helping to keep oil from floating to the surface, but crews haven't been able to activate a shutout valve underwater. And it could take another week before a 98-ton concrete-and-metal box is placed over one of the leaks to capture the oil. .Worse, it could take three months to drill sideways into the well and plug it with mud and concrete to stop the worst U.S. oil spill since the tanker Exxon Valdez ran aground in Alaska, leaking nearly 11 million gallons of crude.Those nowhere near the Gulf who drink coffee, eat shrimp, like fruit or plan to buy a new set of tires, could also end up paying for the disaster. Several river boat pilots said the edge of the slick Monday was 15 to 20 miles off the Southwest Pass, where ships headed to New Orleans enter the Mississippi River.A total shutdown of the shipping lanes is unlikely. However, there could be long delays if cargo vessels that move millions of tons of fruit, rubber, grain, steel and other commodities in and out of the nation's interior are forced to wait to have their oil-coated hulls power-washed to avoid contaminating the Mississippi. Some cargo ships might choose to unload somewhere else in the U.S. That could drive up costs.

Let's say it gets real bad. It gets blocked off and they don't let anything in. They lose time, and they are very concerned about that, said river pilot Michael Lorino. It's going to be very costly if they have to unload that cargo in another port and ship it back here because it was destined for here.BP said Monday it would compensate people for legitimate and objectively verifiable claims from the explosion and spill, but President Barack Obama and others pressed the company to explain exactly what that means.Those who packed a meeting at a Pensacola Beach church wanted to know the same thing.Betsy Robins, 58, said she's lost three houses to a hurricanes, a disaster Gulf Coasters dread but are more accustomed to facing. An oil spill that might foul her properties — that's something she's looking to the oil company to pay for. She wants BP to buy her parcels at pre-slick prices.I don't want to fight another claim, Robins said. I've lost three houses to hurricanes so far. And spent 11 years fighting claims.For the tourism industry, the spill couldn't come at a worse time.It's the beginning of the booking season, the beginning of the summer season,said Marie Curren, sales director for Brett/Robinson, a real estate firm in Gulf Shores, Ala. The only thing that could make it worst now is a hurricane.
Dana Powell expects at least some lost business at the Paradise Inn in Pensacola Beach, Fla., and could see a different type of guest altogether: Instead of families boating, parasailing and fishing, workers on cleanup crews will probably be renting her rooms.They won't be having as much fun, she said,but they might be buying more liquor at the bar, because they'll be so depressed.And what will she serve in her restaurant? Hamburgers and chicken fingers instead of crab claws.

The latest satellite image of the slick, taken Sunday night, indicates that it has shrunk since last week, but that only means some of the oil has gone underwater. The new image found oil covering about 2,000 square miles, rather than the roughly 3,400 square miles observed last Thursday, said Hans Graber of the University of Miami. The new image also shows that sizable patches have broken away and are moving to the north and east, Graber said. By all accounts, the disaster is certain to cost BP billions. But analysts said the company could handle it; BP is the world's third-largest oil company and made more than $6 billion in the first three months of this year. The oil spill has drained $32 billion from BP's stock market value. In the Chandeleur Sound on Monday, about 40 miles northeast of Venice, La., thick, heavy oil formed long clumps that looked like raw sewage. Dying jellyfish could be seen in the water. Sea turtles have been found dead on Mississippi beaches, but necropsies on five of the 30 did not find evidence they died from the effects of oil. The news was better from Mississippi to the Florida Panhandle, where the sheen isn't expected to touch beaches before Thursday. Wind and sea currents have helped to keep the oil away from points farther west, said Coast Guard Capt. Steve Poulin. Some businesses were prepared because of their experience during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Folgers Coffee Co., which ships its coffee through the Port of New Orleans, has several weeks' worth of green coffee on hand and has made arrangements to use other ports in the event of a shutdown, spokeswoman Mary Beth Badertscher said. We've learned a lot of valuable lessons from Hurricane Katrina about supply logistics,she said.

About 60 percent of the grain exported from the U.S. goes through the Southwest Pass. If the spill delays barge traffic going down the Mississippi, prices for corn, soybeans and wheat could rise quickly on global markets, said Greg Wagner, a commodity analyst. Grain prices within the U.S. could actually fall if shipments are unable to leave the U.S. and the grain begins piling up at silos in the U.S. But the price decreases would probably be small and wouldn't show up at the grocery store anytime soon, said Seth Meyer, an agricultural transportation analyst at the University of Missouri. In Alabama, scores of shrimp boats sat at dock in Bayou La Batre, their crews unable to work. Vietnamese immigrant Minh V. Le, who owns two trawlers, said: I'm confused about how I'm going to survive.Associated Press writers Sarah Larimer, Mike Schneider, Jay Reeves, Jeannine Aversa, Christopher Leonard, Alan Sayre, Melissa Nelson and Allen G. Breed contributed to this report.

Magnitude 6.4 quake shakes Chile, no damages
Mon May 3, 9:23 pm ET


SANTIAGO, Chile – The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude-6.4 earthquake has struck off Chile's central coast. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.The USGS says the quake's epicenter was 151 kilometers (94 miles) south-southwest of Concepcion, Chile, at a depth of 20 kilometers (12 miles).Radio stations in the Bio-Bio region reported no major damages or injuries from Monday's tremor.The area has been shaken by hundreds of smaller quakes since a huge magnitude-8.8 quake hit on Feb. 27, triggering a tsunami and killing 486 people. On Sunday, a 5.9-magnitude quake struck the area, one of more than a dozen perceptible temblors since Saturday.Tens of thousands of Chileans are still living in tents or temporary huts.

12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.

My church shall be purified, protected and ready for the final day. Men will die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for water in those countries.The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest.

Environmentalists warn Jordan River drying up By DANIEL ESTRIN, Associated Press Writer - MAY 4,10

QASR AL-YAHUD, West Bank – Christian pilgrims who flock to the Jordan River to immerse themselves in the water where Jesus was baptized may have nothing left to dunk in next year.A team of Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian environmental scientists says large stretches of the biblical river could dry up by 2011. And much of what remains is nothing but a canal of sewage, they said in a report released Monday.You can almost jump across this river. In other places, you don't need to even jump — you can just cross it. It's ankle deep, said Gidon Bromberg, Israeli director of Friends of the Earth Middle East, the organization that commissioned the report. You struggle to see the water.Sadly, it is one of the efforts to save the river that has helped doom it, the report said. Israel and Jordan have agreed to stop dumping waste into the river and instead treat it in plants expected to be up and running in both countries in 2011.But if no wastewater enters the lower Jordan — the river's largest section — then no water will flow in it at all, the report notes.

According to Christian tradition, John baptized Jesus in the Jordan River. Typical of the region's conflicting land claims, both Jordan and Israel maintain the New Testament baptismal site stands on their soil, and the sites face each other on either side of the Jordan.On the Israeli-controlled side in the West Bank, the site is called Qasr al-Yahud, Arabic for Castle of the Jews or Crossing of the Jews. In Jordan, it is called al-Maghtas, or Baptism Site.The Bible describes the river, which flows south from the Sea of Galilee into the Dead Sea, marking the border shared by Israel, Jordan and the West Bank, as overflowing. In 1847, a U.S. Naval officer visiting the area reported on the deafening roar of the tumultuous waters.

But over the past five decades, Israel, Jordan and Syria have diverted about 98 percent of the Jordan River and its tributaries for drinking water and agricultural use. Only 700 million to about 1 billion cubic feet (20 million to 30 million cubic meters) flow through the river today, a tiny fraction of the 45 billion cubic feet (1.3 billion cubic meters) that used to surge through before the 1930s, when the first dam was built on the river in what is now Israel.What was once the narrowest stretch of the river has now become its widest. In some spots, the Jordan is only a trickle. Otters and other creatures that used to live on its banks are long gone.Today, the lower section of the Jordan is choked with sewage from towns on the Israeli, West Bank and Jordanian sides.The report's authors praised the Israeli and Jordanian wastewater treatment plan, while noting that it will dry up large stretches of the river by the end of next year because the treated sewage will be used for agriculture rather than being pumped into the Jordan.The report recommends that Israel and Jordan rehabilitate the river by filling it with freshwater pumped in from the Sea of Galilee and the Yarmouk river, the Jordan's largest tributary, in addition to highly treated wastewater, to return a third of the volume that once flowed there.Today, most Christian pilgrims who visit Israel immerse themselves in the fresh waters of the Jordan river at Yardenit, a modern-day baptismal tourist site near the Sea of Galilee, 60 miles (100 kilometers) upstream.

Less than a mile (about one kilometer) away, a dam built by Israel blocks the water for agricultural use. Steps away, a fountain of murky sewage from nearby Israeli communities shoot through a rusty pipe, where it joins up with agricultural runoff and saline water from nearby salt springs to form the rest of the river.Some still go to the traditional baptism site of Jesus. On Sunday, a grinning Christian pilgrim from Moscow donned a long white robe and bobbed up and down in the brown waters, gesturing the sign of the cross with his hand each time he came up for air.Some environmentalists strongly discourage baptisms there because the foul state of the waters make it a health hazard.On the Israeli-controlled side, the site is closed most of the year because of its location in a military zone, surrounded by minefields, on the international border with Jordan. About 30,000 pilgrims were allowed to visit this year, according to the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, and Israel is now renovating the site to accommodate more tourists. The sad state of the Jordan River does not exist in a vacuum. Political deadlock between governments sharing the river and its tributaries has exacerbated the water shortage. Israel and neighboring Arab countries have complained about each other's projects to divert shared water sources for their own needs. The diversion of waters from the Jordan is also a major reason why the Dead Sea is shrinking so dramatically. The legendary salt-water lake has lost one-third of its volume since Israel and Jordan built plants in the 1960s to divert the waters of the Jordan.

Death toll rises as river crests, floods Nashville By TRAVIS LOLLER and KRISTIN M. HALL, Associated Press Writers – Mon May 3, 11:03 pm ET

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Muddy waters poured over the banks of Nashville's swollen Cumberland River on Monday, spilling into Music City's historic downtown streets while rescuers using boats and Jet Skis plucked stranded residents away from their flooded homes as the death toll from the weekend storms climbed to 28 people in three states.The flash floods caused by record-breaking amounts of rain caught many off-guard, forcing thousands to frantically flee their homes and hotels. The rapidly rising waters led to the deaths of 17 people in Tennessee alone, including 10 in Nashville, and officials feared that the death toll could increase. Officials announced the latest deaths late Monday after receding flood waters revealed six more bodies.Do we suspect to find more people? Probably so. We certainly hope that it's not a large number, said Metro Nashville Davidson County Fire Chief Kim Lawson.

Though the historic Ryman Auditorium — the former home of the Grand Ole Opry — and the recording studios of Music Row were not in immediate danger, parts of other top Nashville tourist spots including the Country Music Hall of Fame and The Grand Ole Opry House were flooded.You never think something like this will happen in Nashville,said Stan Milstead of Tulsa, Okla., as he watched the dark brown river waters creep deeper into downtown, where authorities had closed off streets.Weekend storms dumped more than 13 inches of rain in two days in the Nashville area, leading to a quick rise of the Cumberland River and its tributaries. The swollen river crested Monday evening at nearly 12 feet above flood stage in Nashville and was not expected to drop below its flood stage of 40 feet until Wednesday morning, National Weather Service meteorologist Mark Rose said.About five miles east of downtown, flooding forced about 1,500 guests from the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center to evacuate Sunday night to a high school, indefinitely shutting down one of the nation's largest hotel and convention centers.We had just finished eating and suddenly they said: Go! Go! Go! Gerdi Bauerle, 70, who was visiting from Munich, Germany, said Monday. And we said 'Wait, we haven't even paid.

Up to 10 feet of water stood in parts of the hotel, as restaurant chairs and crates of wine glasses floated by. A life-sized Elvis statue missing his guitar was laying on its back in the nearby parking lot of the Wax Museum of the Stars.Water also flooded parts of the Grand Ole Opry House and Opry Mills Mall, which replaced the old Opryland USA theme park. Though it was not immediately known how much water was in the concert hall, managers were finding alternate space for upcoming shows.Though the rain stopped falling on Monday, the river continued to inch upward in some places. Authorities and volunteers in fishing boats, an amphibious tour bus and a canoe scooped up about 500 trapped vacationers at the Wyndham Resort along the river near Opryland. Rescuers had to steer through a maze of underwater hazards including submerged cars, some with their tops barely visible above floodwaters the color of milk chocolate.Bill Crousser was riding his Jet Ski past a neighbor's house when he rescued a man, his wife and their dog moments before flames from a fire in the garage broke through the roof. The woman was taken to a hospital to be examined.We just got the hell out of there,Crousser said.As flood waters receded elsewhere, more victims were found in Nashville and other parts on Tennessee on Monday evening.One body was discovered in a wooded area outside a Nashville supermarket, and another woman was found dead in a home on the western side of town, city spokeswoman Gwen Hopkins said Monday night. Police said a man's body was found in standing water in Bellevue, one of the hardest hit parts of Nashville; nearby the body of an elderly woman was recovered in her home.

The weekend storms also killed six people in Mississippi and four in Kentucky, including one man whose truck ran off the road and into a flooded creek. One person was also killed by a tornado in western Tennessee.In downtown Nashville, water filled the basement of the Schermerhorn Symphony Center where pianos were stored and speed into a mechanical room in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Five inches of water backed up through storm drains into the Bridgestone Arena, damaging dressing rooms and the floor where the NHL's Nashville Predators play. Across downtown on the river's east bank, water covered the grass inside LP Field, home of the NFL's Tennessee Titans.Gov. Phil Bredesen declared 52 of Tennessee's 95 counties as disaster areas after finishing an aerial tour and said he talked with President Barack Obama. Bredesen saw flooding so extensive that tree tops looked like islands as he flew from Nashville to western Tennessee. I've never seen flooding like this, he said. Jim Moser, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Nashville, said a slow-moving weather system pumped up Gulf moisture into highly unstable air over Tennessee. The result was strong storms dumping heavy rains that caught most of the city and surrounding area by surprise. It was much higher than we expected, Moser said. The weather service listed the two-day total as 13.53 inches at the city's airport, outstripping the old record of 6.68 inches from the remnants of Hurricane Fredrick in 1979. Officials said about 50 Nashville schools were damaged. Floodwaters submerged hundreds of homes in the Bellevue suburb on Nashville's west side, including Lisa Blackmon's. She escaped with her dog and her car but feared she lost everything else. I know God doesn't give us more than we can take, said Blackmon, 45, who lost her job at a trucking company in December.But I'm at my breaking point.Mayor Karl Dean and city officials repeatedly implored residents Monday to conserve water after one of two water treatment plants was flooded. As the rising Cumberland River threatened a levee that protected the remaining plant, neighborhoods and businesses northwest of downtown, city workers and about 200 volunteers frantically filled and stacked sandbags. Morgan Castillo, 29, drove from the Nashville suburb of Hermitage to help.It seems like everyone is waiting until it's too late,she said.And then the next thing you know is you're on the roof.Crews worked to restore electricity with about 13,400 still without power, but the Nashville Electric Service was slowed because one of its repair centers was flooded. Statewide, about 22,000 remained without power as of Monday evening.

Many residents who fled their homes worried about what they left behind.

Lucy Owens, 46, said she had to leave so quickly on Sunday night that she didn't have time to grab her family's 100-year-old Bible and afghan made by her mother, who died about a month ago. She said she first tried escape in her truck, but when she couldn't drive past her mailbox because the water was too high, she screamed for help and a police officer came and took her and son to a point where a boat could rescue them. By then, water was up to her ribcage. I got no notice. No one said nothing about evacuating. I did what they said and stayed put. I didn't get out. I didn't drive. Then it just all happened so fast,she said. Associated Press Writers Erik Schelzig in Memphis; Lucas L. Johnson II in Jackson; Dylan T.

Tornado, floods kill at least 22 in southern US
Mon May 3, 9:12 pm ET


BILOXI, Mississippi (AFP) – Violent thunderstorms unleashed tornados and flash floods over the southern United States over the weekend killing at least 22 people and forcing the Kentucky governor to declare a state of emergency.Governor Steve Beshear said Monday four people died in weather-related accidents in his state and requested federal assistance to deal with storm damage.I urge individuals who encounter high waters to use extreme caution and avoid unnecessary contact with flood waters if at all possible, he said in a public alert.In Mississippi, where tornados killed 10 people nine days ago, driving rains and more tornados tore through farming regions damaging homes and destroying crops.The month of May started off with numerous storms which caused major damage and took the lives of six people, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) said in a statement, adding that reports of damage continued to roll in.MEMA spokeswoman Nikki Pressley earlier told AFP the Red Cross and Salvation Army had evacuated dozens of people from their homes to area shelters.The White House said President Barack Obama called Beshear and Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen to extend his deepest condolences for the loss of life and pledge a prompt federal response to their requests for support, as they assess the damage.In Tennessee, two days of driving rain have caused widespread flooding, killing at least six people in Nashville and another six in the rest of the state, forcing scores more to evacuate homes and businesses, The Nashville Tennessean reported Monday.At least two more people were listed as missing.The newspaper said thousands of homes were flooded and entire neighborhoods submerged across the state.Late Sunday, Nashville announced that it was shutting down a water treatment plant and that a levee along the Cumberland River had begun to leak, the report said.After an aerial survey, Mayor Karl Dean said the damage was worse than he thought.This situation is going to require a very large recovery process, the paper quotes Dean as saying. The magnitude of the damage to our community was much more than what I expected. The safety of some of our infrastructure is questionable.

Nashville fire and rescue officials were still searching late Sunday for two young men who went missing after they tried to raft in a creek with inner tubes, the daily said, adding that a third man had swum to safety.President Barack Obama Monday signed a disaster declaration for Alabama, releasing federal aid to help recovery efforts in two counties damaged by tornados and flooding, the White House said.No weather-related casualties have been reported in Alabama.The National Weather Service has forecast more severe weather for the next few days in the region, with several rivers at or near flood stage and nearby areas under flood warnings.

Fresh ash disruption as EU ministers meet on air traffic control
HONOR MAHONY Today MAY 4,10 @ 09:20 CET


Volcanic ash is disrupting air travel once again just as transport ministers are set to gather in Brussels to discuss air traffic management following last month's travel chaos due to ash from the same Icelandic volcano.A change in wind direction on Monday (3 April) sent the plume from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano over Ireland and the Scottish Isles, prompting the closure of airports.All flights going in and out of Ireland have been grounded since 8am CET this morning, while airspace over the Outer Hebrides was closed during Monday night. The Irish ban is expected to extend until at least 2pm. The ash was expected to exceed the safety level agreed in the wake of the six-day grounding of most European flights in April, a move that disrupted the travel plans of some 10 million passengers and is estimated to have cost the airline industry up to €2.5 billion.Ireland falls within the predicted area of ash concentrations that exceed acceptable engine-manufacturer tolerance levels, the Irish Aviation Authority said in a statement.Iceland's meteorological office said that a recent change of wind direction had sent the ash cloud south and southeast toward Europe, rather than northward. However, the cloud is much smaller than the one that caused the flight paralysis around 20 April.The fresh disruption comes as EU transport ministers will in a specially-convened meeting on Tuesday discuss an improved response to such incidents amid accusations that governments last month over-reacted.

The European Commission, which is pushing to create a single airspace with European supervisors to co-ordinate flight routes and responses, has noted that a more joined-up response would mean that April's flight disruptions would have lasted for three days rather than six.The ministers will also discuss demands by airlines for government assistance to help pay for the loss of revenue as well as the costs of refunding tickets or taking care of stranded passengers.EU passenger rights rules say that airlines have a duty of care to passengers and are required to refund expenses for costs incurred due to flight delays if passengers choose to be re-routed rather than having their tickets re-imbursed.However, airlines have been pressuring Brussels for a softening of the rules, arguing that national authorities had taken the decision to close airspaces, meaning it was beyond their control.The commission, for its part, has indicated that it is open to the idea of some state aid for affected companies, but has remained firm on the rules concerning the rights of passengers. The commission considers that the exceptional circumstances of recent days may justify support measures to offset losses incurred,as long as any proposed aid does not distort competition, EU transport commissioner Siim Kallas said last month.

Merkel backs creation of European credit rating agency Standard and Poor's head office in the US (Photo: Wikipedia)ANDREW WILLIS Today MAY 4,10 @ 09:22 CET

Senior European politicians including Germany's Angela Merkel have indicated their support for the creation of a European credit rating agency.And in a related move on Monday (3 May), the European Central Bank decided to loosen the terms under which it lends money to Greek banks, indicating that it will now accept Greek government bonds below investment grade as collateral. The pivotal role played by the world's top three credit rating agencies, all of them US-based, has been highlighted in recent weeks, as incremental downgrades for Greece, Portugal, Spain and Ireland have helped fan a fire of market doubts, leading to higher borrowing costs for the weaker eurozone countries. On the same day that her cabinet approved a €22.4 billion loan for Greece, Ms Merkel said there was a clear case to be made for a European ratings agency.A European agency could provide an understanding of basic economic mechanisms different from the existing agencies, more oriented towards ...[sustainability] of the economy and less on the short term,she said. More competition in this area can not hurt.The German government is now pressing for parliamentary approval for the Greek loan by the end of this week, after eurozone finance ministers on Sunday agreed to provide Athens with up to €110 billion over three years (2010-2012), together with the IMF. The country's finance minister Wolfgang Schauble met with banking representatives on Monday in a bid to secure private sector support for the initiative. Officials told the Financial Times that Mr Schauble was seeking a commitment from banks and insurers not to sell their holdings of Greek bonds at the present juncture, in order to help stabilise markets. French finance minister Christine Lagarde also added to the debate on credit rating agencies on Monday, saying there should be more supervision of the current agencies to ensure their full independence.

ECB liquidity provision

To date, the European Central Bank has only accepted investment grade sovereign bonds from European banks looking to borrow money. But on Monday the Frankfurt-based institution performed an about-turn, saying it would in future accept junk status Greek sovereign bonds as collateral. The move, a clear indication that the ECB is also joining in with the eurozone's rescue efforts for Greece, highlights concern that further credit rating downgrades for Athens could result in a liquidity shortage for the country's banks, subsequently harming the economy. The central bank was among those criticising the timing of last week's downgrade of Greek bonds to junk status by credit rating agency Standard and Poor's, with fears that further such downgrades by the remaining agencies could shut Greek banks off from ECB lending prompting Monday's announcement.But the decision marks a dramatic u-turn for ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet, who began the year saying the ECB would not change its collateral policy for the sake of any particular country.The bank's governing council meets this Thursday in Lisbon, where it will likely discuss the need to extend this provision to other countries.

Slovak reluctant to take part in Greek bail-out-Slovakia became the 16th eurozone member in January 2009 (Photo: formulaphoto)RENATA GOLDIROVA Today MAY 4,10 @ 09:31 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - As the Greek government awaits the first tranche of a €110 billion rescue loan, its Socialist counterpart in Slovakia has said it will not immediately contribute its share, citing doubts over Athen's ability to push ahead with necessary reforms. I don't trust the Greeks, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico told journalists on Monday (May 3), a day after the eurozone finance ministers' meeting had welcomed harsh austerity measures linked to the bail-out. The approval by the [Greek] government is not enough. We want to see laws approved by the parliament leading to cuts in salaries, pensions and social benefits. Until then the Slovak cabinet will not authorise its loan.Slovakia, the latest eurozone member state, is expected to contribute as its share of the bail-out some €816 million over the next three years - a figure amounting to the annual budget of the country's interior ministry, according to media reports. Some analysts say however that Mr Fico' toughened stance can be seen as part of a heated election campaign.In February, he argued the opposite of his current position: If Europe could pour huge amounts of money into the banks, why not to help the countries in real trouble.The parliamentary elections in Slovakia are less than six weeks away and most political parties argue against coming to the rescue of debt-stricken Greece. At this stage, the parliamentary debate could be counterproductive,finance minister Jan Pociatek said. The unpopular decision is therefore likely to fall on the shoulders of the next Slovak government and parliament, although Mr Fico - the probable winner - did not exclude his consent to the loan if the conditions are met.

Nobody cares about Greece. Everyone is currently protecting their own national interests … their own skin, the stability of the euro,he said, referring to Slovak citizens' savings. The eurozone has agreed language saying: Parliamentary approval, needed in some member states prior to the release of the first tranche, is expected to follow swiftly.

But it seems the process could be lengthy in some countries.

Slovenia, another recent eurozone member state, will probably need to review its 2010 budget as its share of the loan pool for Greece will jump to €384 million up from an initial estimate of €144 million. Slovenia may review government spending because the amount we may have to pay to Greece is so much higher, the government's chief economic forecaster, Bostjan Vasle, said, according to Bloomberg, with Slovenian lawmakers likely vote on the matter in June.The most crucial vote comes on Friday (May 7), however, when Germany - the biggest contributor to the package - is set to complete its approval of some €22.4 billion.The European Commission has meanwhile hinted that Greece could gain back its lost credibility sooner than expcted and could be able to return to financial markets for funding as early as the second half of 2011. They will get back to the market in the course of 2011 at the latest, a commission official said, according to Reuters reports.It is not assumed that Greece will have no market access throughout the programme, although it will not need access in the first one-and-a-half to two years.Should Greece continue to draw on the lifeline throughout the entire three-year period, it will start repayments from mid-2013 through to mid-2016.

Anti-fraud investigators swoop on EU emissions traders
LEIGH PHILLIPS 03.05.2010 @ 17:32 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Traders involved in Europe's flagship climate change programme, the Emissions Trading System - some of whom work at Germany's biggest banks and energy firms - were the focus of a series of raids and arrests by British and German prosecutors in part of a massive pan-European crackdown on CO2-credit VAT fraud.A total of 25 people were arrested amid a blitz by authorities on hundreds of company offices in the two countries, including Deutsche Bank and energy firm RWE, in a case involving the theft of an estimated €180 miillion from government coffers.

On Friday (30 April), it was revealed that UK tax authorities had raided 81 different offices and homes earlier in the week, arresting 22 individuals - 13 in England and further eight in Scotland. The swoop, which occurred two days earlier, involved roughly 450 staff from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.German authorities simultaneously raided 230 premises, including the headquarters of Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt and the offices of RWE, one of the largest energy firms in Europe, according to the Bloomberg news agency.Three individuals in Germany were arrested. Seven of the suspects were employees of Deutsche Bank, although none were among those taken into custody.The operation, which targetted a total of 50 companies and some 150 suspects in Europe's biggest economy, involved around a thousand investigators from Germany.Authorities in eight other EU nations - Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands and Portugal, as well as Norway, outside the bloc - were approached by Frankfurt prosecutors for their help in the investigation.Computers, mobiles, memory sticks and business records were seized, as well as undisclosed sums of cash.

The criminal activity the raids focussed on relates to what is known as carousel fraud.Criminals establish themselves in one EU member state and open a trading account with the national carbon credit registry. They then buy carbon credits in a different country, which makes them exempt from VAT. These are then sold to buyers in the original country, but with VAT slapped on, although the VAT then just disappears along with the trader and the money never arrives in government coffers.

The raids come after Europol, the European criminal intelligence agency, last December issued a warning that ETS fraud had resulted in around €5 billion in lost revenues.In announcing its investigations into the pan-European racket, the agency said that as much as 90 percent of the entire market volume on emissions exchanges was caused by fraudulent activity. European Commission climate spokeswoman Maria Kokkonen told EUobserver that a new EU directive on reverse charges for emissions trading, which aims to close off this form of tax fraud, was implemented in February of this year specifically to deal with this problem.Under the directive, EU member states may for a temporary period optionally apply a reverse charge to switch the responsibility of paying the government the VAT collected from the vendor to the customer.Also in February, the EU toughened up the requirements for opening an account with national carbon registries.Carbon emissions fraud is a very serious problem and the commission is working closely with member states to combat this problem,said Ms Kokkonen.In fact, the response to this problem has been very swift since it first came to light last summer.However, it should be underlined that this does not affect the overall functioning of the EU-ETS.Environmentalist critics of the ETS however said that such criminal activity is not the exception to the rule, but intrinsic to a carbon market.Carbon markets are highly susceptible to fraud, given their complexity and the fact that it is not always clear what is being traded,said Oscar Reyes of Carbon Trade Watch. It's good that the commission and tax authorities are clamping down, but it is unlikely that this will be the last case of carousel fraud, but also unlikely that it will be the last type of fraud involved in emissions trading.

Leaked tapes show EU leaders' frustration at climate summit
VALENTINA POP 03.05.2010 @ 09:30 CET


Leaked tapes from the failed climate summit in Copenhagen published in German weekly Der Spiegel have documented a deeper rift between France, Germany and the US and China and India than previously thought. The tapes were recorded accidentally on 18 December 2009, during a meeting of 25 leaders, including Germany's Angela Merkel, France's Nicolas Sarkozy, US President Barack Obama and the representatives of China and India, Der Spiegel reports.Angela Merkel expressed her frustration at India's representative who refused to commit to precise overall CO2 emission reduction figures. Then you don't want anything legally binding! she said, only to be countered by the Indian side: Why do you make presumptions? That is not fair! When she presented Europe's demand to have a commitment for a global reduction of 50 percent in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, China's negotiator intervened abruptly and said: Thank you for all your proposals. We've already said we cannot accept the long-term goal of 50 percent.At that point, French President Nicolas Sarkozy jumped in. With all due respect and friendship for China,he said, the West had already committed itself to an 80 percent reduction by the mid-century mark. And China, who will soon be the biggest economy in the world, now tells the world these engagements are for you, not for us.This is unacceptable. One has to react to this hypocrisy, he scoffed.US President Barack Obama tried to moderate the discussion, but also expressed his frustration that the Chinese premier preferred to stay in his hotel room and to send his chief negotiator instead.I know there is a Chinese premier here, one who takes important decisions,the US President said. Mr Obama then told the Chinese negotiator, He Yafei,[the premier] is giving you instructions at this stage.Mr Yafei replied: I do not speak for myself here. I speak for China. I heard President Sarkozy talk about hypocrisy. I would avoid such terms.He argued that industrial countries had to assume their responsibility after causing 80 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions within one century. Don't run away from that,he said.

The two Western-proposed targets, of an internal 50 percent cut by 2050, and an international cut of 80 percent, have long been a bone of contention between rich and poor countries.The latter argue that according to their analysis, this would require a per capita cut in emissions of 60 percent, or 20 percent in absolute terms. Because these countries are starting at a much lower per capita level of emissions, this would mean that the amount of carbon emissions allowed would ironically be higher for developed countries than for the third world. The rich world would be permitted two to five times higher per capita emissions than developing countries.The global south argues that for them to be able to continue to develop, the west must look to achieve negative carbon emissions by 2050, a proposal the EU and US reject.The tapes also document a statement from Mr Obama suggesting he was already considering sealing a deal in a smaller format outside the formal UN process. He said he was hoping to reach an agreement later, outside this multilateral framework,arguing that everybody had more important things to do.The end of the week-long Copenhagen summit was particularly frustrating for the Europeans, as their demands were left out of the final declaration agreed between the US, China, Brazil and South Africa. Yet not even that text could be endorsed by all delegations, who only took note of it.

Lack of trust

Meanwhile, Ms Merkel, seeking to revive international talks ahead of the follow-up to the Copenhagen summit, set to take place in Cancun, Mexico, at the end of this year, said at an informal climate discussion in Germany on Sunday that environment ministers must find a basis of trust in order to avoid a second fiasco.One thing that did not work well in Copenhagen is that a small circle met and the regional groups felt left out of the debate, she told delegates from some 45 countries gathered outside Bonn. The former Danish chief-negotiator and host of the Copenhagen summit, Connie Hedegaard, has meanwhile taken up the post of EU commissioner for climate change. In an interview with UKdaily The Guardian, she defended Denmark's handling of the event.It's always easy to say after that we shouldn't have done a lot of things, she said.But if we had not done so, we would not have had this whole debate and this whole mobilisation we have today.Ms Hedegaard accepted that a global deal was unlikely at the climate conference in Cancun at the end of this year, but she said there should be a focus on substance and action rather than legal form.It would be fine if we can have everything done at Cancun, but it is not likely to happen so then we must include as a next step South Africa.

Jewish luminaries petition EU parliament over settlements
ANDREW RETTMAN 03.05.2010 @ 10:09 CET


EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The leader of the Green group in the European Parliament, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, and French philosopher Bernard Henri-Levy are spearheading a new campaign for the EU to put pressure on Israel over settlement building.The two men have joined a fast-growing list of over 3,500 signatories in an online petition entitled Call for Reason which is to be presented to the EU parliament at a press conference in Brussels on Monday (3 April).The petition says that Israel's policy of settlement construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is morally and politically wrong and feeds the unacceptable delegitimisation process that Israel currently faces abroad.It adds that: It is essential therefore that the European Union, along with the United States, put pressure on both parties and help them achieve a reasonable and rapid solution to the Israeli-Palestine conflict ... Systematic support of Israeli government policy is dangerous and does not serve the true interests of the state of Israel.The vast majority of signatories comes from Belgium, France, Italy and Switzerland and is composed of academics, teachers, students, medical professionals and lawyers. Other prominent supporters include philosopher Alain Finkielkraut, historian Zeev Sternhell, Israel's former ambassador to France, Elie Barnavi, and the country's former ambassador to Germany, Avi Primor.

Two French centre-left MEPs, Vincent Peillon and Henri Weber, have also signed up, together with a number of EU officials, such as Claude Rakovsky, a head of unit in the European Commission's competition department.The French-based group behind the project, JCall, says it models itself on J Street, a US-based NGO of mostly left-leaning American Jews and supporters of Israel set up to promote a two state solution to the Middle East conflict.The JCall initiative has been attacked by some leading Jewish commentators. Emmanuel Navon, a professor at Tel Aviv university, said its signatories are clinging to a failed ideology and bankrupt ideas in his blog for the right-wing Israeli daily, the Jerusalem Post. Being a realist means accepting the fact that Israel can neither achieve peace with the Palestinians (a painful admission if you're from the left) nor maintain its sovereignty over all of the historical land of Israel (a no less painful admission if you're from the right),he said. This will largely be used by those who are true enemies of Israel, said Richard Prasquier, the head of the CRIF, the umbrella organisation for Jews in France, in French daily Le Figaro.

May Day protests turn violent as Greeks turn ire on EU, IMF - Riot police clashed with protesters (Photo: endiaferon)LEIGH PHILLIPS 02.05.2010 @ 16:26 CET

Traditional May Day marches turned violent in Greece as workers and youth vented their fury at austerity measures intended to deal with the country's ongoing debt crisis.Tens of thousands took the streets to protest the harsh prescription of public sector cutbacks, wage reductions, pension entitlements and tax increases cooked up by the governing centre-left Pasok at the behest of Brussels, Berlin and the International Monetary Fund.Youthful demonstrators in Athens did not take long to clash with riot police, with dozens of black-clad individuals hurling stones and Molotov cocktails.Several officers were set ablaze by the firebombs. Seven were injured as well as two demonstrators. Anarchists smashed a small number of shop and hotel windows while a public television van was torched.Protestors heckled and threw water bottles at a 73-year-old Pasok politician, Apostolos Kaklamanis, before he was bundled off by the police.Riot police responded with tear gas and had made nine arrests by the end of the day.In Thessaloniki, protesters also fought with police and attacked shop windows and bank machines.In Greece as in most other countries around the world, 1 May, workers' day, is a day for often highly scripted protests as well as festivals and concerts funded by left-wing parties and trade unions. In the Hellenic Republic, while much of the rest of the demonstrations passed largely peacefully, there was a bitter anger focussed squarely at the EU and the IMF, coming ahead of another general strike on 5 May.Trade unions marched to the offices of the EU representation in the country and then on to the US embassy. Protesters chanted and daubed on walls such slogans as IMF and EU Commission out! and No to the EU-IMF junta! - in reference to the military dictatorship that ruled Greece until 1974, backed by the US, the UK and the Federal Republic of Germany.

Investors and European leaders are closely watching how Greek citizens react to the austerity measures. Extended violent protests, as occurred in Athens in December 2008 after a youth was shot and killed by police, could make it difficult for the government to push through its cuts.Early on in the crisis, politicians feared a social explosion, with French President Nicholas Sarkozy even withdrawing two pieces of controversial legislation in the same month as the Athens riots, fearing, he said at the time, another May 1968. However, so far industrial action and civil unrest across the bloc has been muted. Even in Greece, support for the governing Pasok has not really been dented.Despite the violence on Saturday, the protests were not particularly large, with a police-estimated 17,000 in the capital and 5,000 in Thessaloniki.Nevertheless, the euro took a slight dive on Friday after a Greek television poll showed that 60.9 percent were opposed to the EU-IMF deal and 67.4 thought that civil unrest was likely as a result.Separately on Saturday, riot police in the German city of Hamburg broke up a march of a round a thousand young people mounted in solidarity with Greek demonstrators after the protesters attacked police units with bottles and fireworks.

Iran to hold new maneuvers in Persian Gulf
MAY 4,10


TEHRAN, Iran – In the second military show in less than a month, Iran will hold a new set of maneuvers in the strategic waters of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, Iranian media reported on Tuesday.Iran regularly holds such military exercises but they are likely to heighten tensions, coming at a time of a deepening standoff between the West and Tehran over the country's controversial nuclear program.The massive maneuvers dubbed Velayat-89 will show (Iran's) defensive and deterrent naval power, said Iranian Navy chief Adm. Habibollah Sayyari. Submarine and air force units are also due to participate, he added.The new war games are to start Wednesday, said the official IRNA news agency. The semiofficial Fars news agency said the exercise will last for eight days and cover a span of about 97,000 square miles (250,000 square kilometers) of Iranian territorial waters.Iran's Revolutionary Guard held five-day maneuvers in late April in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz — the waterway for around 40 percent of the world's oil and gas supplies.The exercises are intended to show off the country's military might and act as a warning, should U.S. or Israel consider a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. The West suspects Iran's nuclear programs is aimed at building an atomic bomb. Iran denies the charge, saying it's for peaceful purposes, such as power generation.

Iran center stage at nuclear treaty conference By DESMOND BUTLER, Associated Press Writer – Tue May 4, 1:36 am ET

UNITED NATIONS – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad seized center stage at the opening of a monthlong debate at the United Nations on how to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. But behind the scenes, U.N. Security Council powers were discussing ways to punish Iran for defying their demands that it curb nuclear activities that could be used to make bombs.The Iranian president used his platform as the only head of state to address the conference of signatories of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) to undermine growing momentum in the Security Council for a new round of sanctions.Speaking from the podium of the General Assembly Hall, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton accused Iran of flouting the rules of the nonproliferation treaty with its suspect uranium enrichment program.I hope that we can reach agreement in the Security Council on tough new sanctions, Clinton told reporters, because I believe that is the only way to catch Iran's attention.Earlier in the day, Ahmadinejad rejected such allegations about its nuclear program, saying Washington has offered not a single credible proof that Iran was seeking nuclear weapons. Iran says it only wants the technology for producing nuclear power.As the Iranian president spoke, the U.S. delegation, of working-level staff, walked out of the General Assembly, joined by several European delegations, including the French and British. Lower-level Iranian officials sat through Clinton's later speech.

The rhetorical exchange between the United States and Iran dominated the first day of the month-long conference on how to improve the NPT. The treaty is formally reviewed every five years at a meeting of all 189 treaty members — all the world's nations except India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea, all of which either have confirmed or are believed to have nuclear weapons.While taking aim at Iran in her address, Clinton warned the delegates not to allow Tehran to distract them from finding ways to strengthen the enforcement of the treaty.This treaty is weakened when a state flouts the rules and develops illicit nuclear weapons capabilities, she said. Potential violators must know that they will pay a high price if they break the rules, and that is certainly not the case today.The review conference, which resumes Tuesday, is meant to produce a final document pointing toward ways to better achieve the NPT's goals of checking the spread of nuclear weapons, while working toward reducing and eventually eliminating them.Because it requires a consensus of all parties, including Iran, any final document would be highly unlikely to censure the Tehran government, which would block consensus.U.S. officials have said they will be looking to isolate Iran at the conference and to produce an unofficial document calling for stricter enforcement of the NPT that could be signed by the overwhelming majority of signatory countries.On the conference's first day, the United States was supported in its stance against Iran by top U.N. officials.Yukiya Amano, head of the U.N. watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency, leveled the specific indictment, saying his inspectors could not confirm that all of Iran's nuclear material is devoted to peaceful activities.As delegates assess the state of the NPT in U.N. conference halls, American and European diplomats will be working elsewhere to reach agreement with the sometimes reluctant China and Russia on a fourth round of U.N. Security Council economic sanctions against Iran.In her address, Clinton proposed that the nonproliferation treaty be strengthened by introducing automatic penalties for noncompliance, rather than depend on such drawn-out council negotiations.Ahmadinejad devoted much of his half-hour speech to the huge U.S. nuclear arsenal, denouncing the Obama administration's refusal to rule out the use of those weapons.Regrettably, the government of the United States has not only used nuclear weapons, but also continues to threaten to use such weapons against other countries, including Iran,Ahmadinejad said.

He referred to the new U.S. Nuclear Posture Review's provision retaining an option to use U.S. atomic arms against countries not in compliance with the nonproliferation pact, a charge Washington lays against Iran. Ahmadinejad was expected to press his campaign against further sanctions at a news conference Tuesday in New York.

US says it has 5,113 nuclear warheads By ANNE GEARAN, AP National Security Writer – Tue May 4, 1:08 am ET

WASHINGTON – The United States has 5,113 nuclear warheads in its stockpile and several thousand more retired warheads awaiting the junkpile, the Pentagon said Monday in an unprecedented accounting of a secretive arsenal born in the Cold War and now shrinking rapidly.The Obama administration disclosed the size of its atomic stockpile going back to 1962 as part of a campaign to get other nuclear nations to be more forthcoming, and to improve its bargaining position against the prospect of a nuclear Iran.We think it is in our national security interest to be as transparent as we can be about the nuclear program of the United States, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told reporters at the United Nations, where she addressed a conference on containing the spread of atomic weapons.The U.S. has previously regarded such details as top secret.The figure includes both strategic, or long-range weapons, and those intended for use at shorter range.The Pentagon said the stockpile of 5,113 as of September 2009 represents a 75 percent reduction since 1989.

A rough count of deployed and reserve warheads has been known for years, so the Pentagon figures do not tell nuclear experts much they don't already know.Hans Kristensen, director of Nuclear Information Project, Federation of American Scientists in Washington, said his organization had already put the number at around 5,100 by reviewing budget estimates and other documents.The import of the announcement is the precedent it sets, Kristensen said.The important part is that the U.S. is no longer going to keep other countries in the dark, he said.Clinton said the disclosure of numbers the general public has never seen builds confidence that the Obama administration is serious about stopping the spread of atomic weapons and reducing their numbers.

But the administration is not revealing everything.The Pentagon figure released Monday includes deployed weapons, which are those more or less ready to launch, and reserve weapons. It does not include thousands of warheads that have been disabled or all but dismantled. Those weapons could, in theory, be reconstituted, or their nuclear material repurposed.Estimates of the total U.S. arsenal range from slightly more than 8,000 to above 9,000, but the Pentagon will not give a precise number.

Whether to reveal the full total, including those thousands of nearly dead warheads, was debated within the Obama administration. Keeping those weapons out of the figure released Monday represented a partial concession to intelligence agency officials and others who argued national security could be harmed by laying the entire nuclear arsenal bare.A senior defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the overall total is still classified, did not dispute the rough estimates developed by independent analysts.Exposure of once-classified totals for U.S. deployed and reserve nuclear weapons is intended to nudge nations such as China, which has revealed little about its nuclear stockpile.You can't get anywhere toward disarmament unless you're going to be transparent about how many weapons you have, said Sharon Squassoni, a nuclear policy analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Russia and the United States have previously disclosed the size of their stockpiles of deployed strategic weapons, and France and Britain have released similar information. All have signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, which is the subject of the U.N. review that began Monday. The U.S. revelations are calculated to improve Washington's bargaining power with Iran's allies and friends for the drive to head off what the West charges is a covert Iranian program to build a bomb. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahamadinejad spoke ahead of Clinton at the conference, denouncing U.S. efforts to pressure his regime to abandon its nuclear program. The U.N. conference will try to close loopholes in the internationally recognized rules against the spread of weapons technology. Independent analysts estimate the total world stockpile of nuclear warheads at more than 22,000. The Federation of American Scientists estimates that nearly 8,000 of those warheads are operational, with about 2,000 U.S. and Russian warheads ready for use on short notice. The United States and Russia burnished their credentials for insisting that other countries forgo atomic weapons by agreeing last month to a new strategic arms reduction treaty. The New START treaty sets a limit of 1,550 deployed strategic nuclear warheads for each side, down from 2,200 under a 2002 deal. The pact re-establishes anti-cheating procedures that provide the most comprehensive and substantial arms control agreement since the original 1991 START treaty.
