Cave of Patriarchs to Be Open 24 Hours a Day for High Holidays
by Gil Ronen AUG 26,10
The Cave of Patriarchs (the Biblical Cave of Machpela) in Hevron will be open to the devout all night long during the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur. The Cave was closed to the public from 9:00 PM to 4:00 AM until now, and has not been open 24 hours a day at any time in recent memory.The IDF's top commander in the Hevron area, Col. Guy Hazout, approved a request by the Kiryat Arba Religious Council's to allow devout visitors into the Cave for nighttime Selichot prayers, which are recited on the High Holidays.Selichot are penitential poems and prayers that are recited in the weeks preceding Rosh HaShana and in the ten days that follow it. Elul, the month that precedes Rosh HaShana usually coincides with the Muslim month of Ramadan, which ends with the holiday of Eid el-Fitr. This year, Ramadan ends on September 10, and the Cave will not be open to Jews on that day. It will, however, be open on all of the other Ten Days of Repentance that precede Yom Kippur.
According to Yossi Dayan, Head of the Kiryat Arba Religious Council, Thousands of visitors come to Hevron during the month of Elul and this is even more meaningful on the Ten Days of Teshuva (Repentance) during which there are visits by organized groups, individuals, families and groups from abroad.In order to give additional possibilities for holding prayers and saying Selichot, we asked that the Cave be open during the nighttime hours and the request was approved. We are appreciate this and there are already plans for main sessions for Selichot recitation on those nights.Central Selichot events will include a night in which high school age Yeshiva boys and Ulpena girls from all over the country will gather to listen to Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu of Tzfat. Malachi Levinger, Head of the Kiryat Arba – Hevron Council said that the decision to open the Cave at night is further evidence of the close and fruitful cooperation between the community of Kiryat Arba – Hevron and IDF commanders. The decision will enable thousands of devout people from all over Israel to connect with their roots during the holidays. We invite the general public to visit the Cave of Machpela and enjoy the spiritual and cultural treasures of Hevron.

Finland Suspends Swine Flu Shots After Vaccine Linked With Neurological Disorder Cases of narcolepsy in children jumped 300 per cent following H1N1 vaccination campaign Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Wednesday, August 25, 2010
http://www.infowars.com/finland-suspends-swine-flu-shots-after-vaccine-linked-with-neurological-disorder/
Finland’s National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) has suspended the use of the H1N1 vaccine over fears that the shot is linked with a 300 per cent increase in cases of the neurological disorder narcolepsy among children and young people over the last six months.The news is sure to discourage more parents from vaccinating their children in the coming months, with the swine flu shot now being combined with the regular seasonal flu jab. A recent Rasmussen poll found that 52 per cent of Americans were concerned about the safety of vaccines as we approach the start of school and college terms, where many children and teenagers will be required to take shots before they can attend.Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that can be triggered by a virus. A patient suffering from narcolepsy may suddenly fall asleep, for example, while, speaking or eating without prior warning. Their muscles may also suddenly weaken, causing them to suddenly collapse. There is no known cure for the disease,reports Finnish news website YLE.The National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) decided on Tuesday to recommend that vaccinations against swine flu with the Pandemix vaccine should be suspended until it is established whether or not the vaccine is the cause of the surge in cases of narcolepsy among children and young people,reports Finland’s largest newspaper Helsingin Sanomat.
Narcolepsy is a very rare disorder, but 15 new cases of the disease have emerged in young people and children since December in Finland. There is a clear time correlation between the cases and the swine flu vaccinations,reports Helsingin Sanomat. An unusually large number of cases of narcolepsy have also emerged in Sweden in the aftermath of the H1N1 vaccination program.Pekka Puska, director-general of THL, said that the suspension would remain in place until the potential link between the vaccine and cases of narcolepsy could be properly investigated.
According to Kari Lankinen, head physician of the Finnish Medicines Agency, doctors were complicit in hiding the link between the swine flu shot and narcolepsy and did so to advance their careers.Lankinen suspects that the reason for the silence was the doctors’ concern about their own professional goals – such as getting their articles published in international medical journals. The doctors who made the observations in recent months now work with the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL),reports YLE.fi.In total, around 750 Finns have experienced harmful side effects as a result of taking the H1N1 shot, according to the Helsinki Times.
The news of yet more side-effects in the aftermath of the swine flu vaccination campaign should send another warning signal to parents across the world who are planning on having their child inoculated with seasonal flu vaccines this fall.Both the FDA and the World Health Organization have recommendedthat the H1N1 shot be included with the upcoming seasonal flu vaccine, and health departments across America as well as Europe will be combining the jabs.As we reported earlier this year, Chair of the Council of Europe’s Sub-committee on Health Wolfgang Wodarg’s investigation into the 2009 swine flu outbreak found that the pandemic was a fake hoax manufactured by pharmaceutical companies in league with the WHO to make vast profits while endangering public health.Wodarg said that governments were threatened by special interest groups within the pharmaceutical industry as well as the WHO to buy the vaccines and inject their populations without any reasonable scientific reason for doing so, and yet in countries like Germany and France only around 6 per cent took the vaccine despite enough being available to cover 90 per cent of the population.Wodarg said there was no other explanation for what happened than the fact that the WHO worked in cahoots with the pharmaceutical industry to manufacture the panic in order to generate vast profits, agreeing with host Alex Jones that the entire farce was a hoax.
He also explained how health authorities were already waiting for something to happen before the pandemic started and then exploited the virus for their own purposes.Professor Ulrich Keil, director of the World Health Organization’s Collaborating Centre for Epidemiology, also slammed the swine flu epidemic as an overblown angst campaign, devised in conjunction with major drug companies to boost profits for vaccine manufacturers.As Natural News’ Mike Adams reported, several members of the Emergency Committee expert panel that advised the World Health Organization (WHO) during the swine flu scare were receiving financial support from pharmaceutical manufacturers either during or prior to the epidemic.Both H1N1 and seasonal flu shots have been linked with a number of different side-effects across the globe, including Guillain-Barre Syndrome as well as dystonia, a paralyzing neurological disorder.The seasonal flu vaccine has also been linked with convulsions and fits in under-5’s.Many batches of the swine flu vaccine included squalene and mercury amongst their ingredients, two substances that have been directly connected with the explosion of autism amongst children as well as other diseases. Individuals within government and the military were privileged to receive additive free shots that did not include these substances. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and government ministers, as well as German soldiers, were amongst those who received access to the so-called friendly version of the vaccine.In order to head off legal claims for side-effects caused by the swine flu vaccination program, the U.S. government provided vaccine makers with blanket legal immunity before the shots began to be dispersed.
U.S. Court Rules That Government Can Secretly Track You With GPS, Privacy is For Rich People Only - TIME report details legal ruling that befits activity of KGB or the East German Stasi Steve Watson Infowars.net Wednesday, Aug 25th, 2010
A Report in TIME magazine details how it is now perfectly legal in nine states for the government to attach secret satellite tracking devices to your car and monitor you wherever you go, without a search warrant.As if that wasn’t bad enough, the report also details how The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which made the ruling, essentially suggests that privacy should be reserved for rich people only.The law, which now applies in California and eight other Western states, stems from a case beginning in 2007 when federal agents of the DEA covertly attached a GPS tracking device to the vehicle of an Oregon man they suspected of growing marijuana.
The vehicle was parked in the man’s driveway, yet judges ruled that he did not have any reasonable expectation of privacy under the Fourth Amendment because they driveway was open to strangers such as delivery people and neighborhood children. This ruling transgresses long standing court rules that the area immediately surrounding a private property, known as the curtilage, should also be considered private.Judges also ruled that there was no reasonable expectation that the government was not tracking the man’s movements.All appeals against the court’s motion have failed.One Ninth Circuit judge has spoken out against the ruling however, noting that it essentially suggests that privacy is limited to those who can afford to completely close off their property with hi-tech security features such as electric gates, fences and security booths to stop anyone, including the government, sneaking around.Chief Judge Alex Kozinski raised the point and added that cultural elitism is rife within the justice system:There’s been much talk about diversity on the bench, but there’s one kind of diversity that doesn’t exist, he wrote. No truly poor people are appointed as federal judges, or as state judges for that matter.1984 may have come a bit later than predicted, but it’s here at last, Kozinski added, noting that Some day, soon, we may wake up and find we’re living in Oceania.With a Justice Department on record suggesting that the Fourth Amendment does not apply after 9/11, and an intelligence apparatus guilty of widespread covert wiretapping of American citizens’ communications, one might suggest that we found ourselves living in such an Orwellian nightmare a long time ago, now it is simply being made official.…if government agents can track people with secretly planted GPS devices virtually anytime they want, without having to go to a court for a warrant, we are one step closer to a classic police state – with technology taking on the role of the KGB or the East German Stasi.the TIME reporter and professional lawyer Adam Cohen writes, noting that due to differing decisions by courts in other districts, the issue is soon likely to end up in the Supreme Court.Steve Watson is the London based writer and editor at Alex Jones’ Infowars.net, and regular contributor to Prisonplanet.com.

EU cyber assault would cost €86 million, expert says-A technician overlooks EU air traffic at Eurocontrol, the Brussels-based European air safety body - a potential target in any cyber assault (Photo: Eurocontrol)ANDREW RETTMAN 25.08.2010 @ 14:37 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - A malicious foreign power could - given €86 million, 750 people and two years to prepare - launch a devastating cyber attack on the EU, a US security expert has said.The assault would begin with a member of staff at, say, the London Stock Exchange or the French electricity grid operator, RTE, opening a PDF attachment in an email which looks as if it had been sent by a colleague. The PDF would contain software enabling a hacker on a different continent to silently take over his computer. Over time, the hacker would monitor the employees' keystrokes, sniff out passwords, and use the information to take over computers higher up the command chain, eventually putting him in a position to switch off the target's firewalls, leaving it open to DOS (Denial of Service) attacks, and to install RATs (Remote Administration Tools), which control its hardware.Around 18 to 21 months down the line, with enough targets compromised, the assault could take place.The EU 27 countries would wake up to find electricity power stations shut down; communication by phone and Internet disabled; air, rail and road transport impossible; stock exchanges and day-to-day bank transactions frozen; crucial data in government and financial institutions scrambled and military units at home and abroad cut off from central command or sent fake orders.
Normal life could be restarted in a few days' time. But the damage done to administrative capacity, consumer confidence and the economy by loss of vital data would last years.Charlie Miller, a mathematician who served for five years at the US' National Security Agency stress-testing foreign targets' computer systems and designing network intrusion detection tools, calculated the EU scenario on the basis of a more detailed study of US vulnerability.Mr Miller said the bulk of the money, €83 million, would be used to pay an army of 750 hackers, with just €3 million spent on hardware - a testing lab with 50 computers, another two computers each per hacker and assorted smartphones and network equipment.An elite corps would consist of 20 world class experts whose main job would be to find 0-day exploits - previously undetected security gaps in popular software such as Windows, Java or Adobe. The experts would have to be paid a small fortune, over €200,000 each a year, or extorted.Another 40 people, drawn from the enemy country's secret services or recruited inside EU member states, would get inside air-gapped facilities - the most secure targets, such as military command structures or air traffic control bodies, which are physically cut-off from the Internet in order to prevent cyber attacks. When the time came, the agents would un-airgap targets by connecting them to the Internet via 3G modems and satellite phones.The rest of the cyber army, 690 people, mostly computer science graduates and post-graduates from inside the hostile state, would use the 0-day exploits to take over target networks. They would also collect, maintain, create and test bots - software which secretly uses computers in ordinary people's homes to run automated tasks, such as DOS attacks, which bombard target systems with overwhelming amounts of data. The final assault would require 500 million bots in diverse locations.Dr Miller, who currently works for the Baltimore, US-based company, Independent Security Evaluators, admitted that Internet scare stories help firms like his to get business. But he noted that classic intelligence gathering, rather than hiring IT experts, is the best line of defence.It's really hard to defend against an attack that's well equipped and carried out by smart people. But you do have years to detect it before it happens. If you have an elaborate intelligence gathering network you could detect it, not technically because you can see it, but because you have human intel,he said.If you want to spend your money well, spend it on your intelligence services.
Learning from Estonia
The threat of cyber war against EU targets became a reality on 27 April 2007 when hackers crashed Estonian online news agencies with DOS attacks in the middle of an Estonia-Russia political dispute. The assault gathered pace over the next three weeks disrupting online banking services and government communications. Three and a half years down the line there is no hard evidence linking the attack to a foreign power, although activists in the pro-Kremlin youth group, Nashi, claim to have taken part. If these cyber attacks were used to test the Estonian cyber defense capabilities, much more sophisticated attacks could possibly follow, based on the knowledge acquired during the attacks,a report on the 2007 events by the Estonian government's Computer Emergency Response Team said.
Nato and EU countries are putting more resources into joint cyber-defence projects.
Liisa Tallinn, a spokeswoman for Nato's Tallinn-based Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE), told this website that Turkey and the US are about to send staff to join personnel from its eight current participating countries - Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Spain.The CCDCOE in May ran a Baltic Cyber Shield exercise in which a red team of friendly hackers took on a blue team of defenders to try and disable factories and communications infrastructure. Part of the results will be made public in September.
Like water out of the tap
The EU's own cyber-defence unit, the Crete-based European Network and Information Security Agency (Enisa), will in late October or early November carry out the first ever pan-EU cyber war game. Enisa spokesman, Ulf Bergstrom, said the exercise will look at disabling Internet infrastructure in the EU's internal market and the way EU member states' authorities co-operate across the union's internal borders. Mr Bergstrom noted that Enisa's initial mandate, which covers security of ecommerce, online banking and mobile phones, is being expanded to more sensitive areas.We have been given political signals, for example by [information society] commissioner Neelie Kroes, to work more closely with agencies like Europol and Interpol, he said. Cyber security is vital for the economy of Europe, to protect the businesses and operations of ordinary citizens. This is the digital society that we take for granted, like water out of the tap, which we need to defend.The original text quoted Liisa Tallinn as saying France is about to join the CCDCOE. This quote was incorrect, as she did not mention France.
Old boys club dominates EU diplomacy
ANDREW RETTMAN 25.08.2010 @ 09:26 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Belgian, Dutch, Italian, French and German men make up the lion's share of EU ambassadors abroad, a new study timed to coincide with a major recruitment round for the European External Action Service (EEAS), has said.The five founding members of the EU together have 66 heads of delegation out of the EU's 115 foreign missions which are run by an official with the top-level grade. The UK and Spain, two large countries which joined the EU later down the line, hold another 20, the report, by the Polish Institute for Foreign Relations, has shown. In contrast, the 10 countries which joined after 2004 have just two.The current distribution of top-level foreign posts reflects old colonial ties. Portugal and Spain between them lead five EU embassies in Latin America. Former colonial powers have all but three out of the EU's national representations in Africa.
The gross imbalance also goes against women.Just 11 out of the 115 ambassadors are women, accounting for less than 10 percent, even though women make up 52 percent of European Commission personnel overall and 37 percent of staff in the commission's foreign relations department. From personal experience, not even having a Western education (or being a female from Central and Eastern Europe) helps when heads of units are consistently German, French, Italian or Belgian,Ana (not her real name), an EU commission applicant who passed the entry exam but can not find a placement, told EUobserver. The Polish survey comes at a crucial moment in EEAS recruitment, with the EU's foreign relations chief, Catherine Ashton, who has made numerous rhetorical pledges to hire more people from eastern Europe and more women, about to take on an extra 111 diplomats.The first tranche of posts, for 31 heads of delegation and deputy heads of delegation, is due to be doled out in September, with interviews ahead of Brussels' summer recess already narrowing the field to just 65 candidates.The second tranche, for a head of delegation in Belarus, and 79 political officers, policy officers, heads of political section and deputy heads of delegation across the world, is due to be finalised in October and November.
Ms Ashton will at the same time be giving out the 20-or-so top administrative jobs in the EEAS in Brussels, with new member states Poland and Romania in the running for influential roles.The competition between men, women and individual EU countries stands alongside a competition between existing commission staff and member states' diplomats keen to get into the prestigious new service.EU officials' trade unions have voiced annoyance that the vacancy notice for the 80 posts in question seem to have a bias in favour of member states.Most member states' diplomats who take up policy officer jobs will start out at the AD12 grade in the EU civil service system, while commission staff taking the same positions will keep their old (lower) grade, earning less pay.National diplomats are being asked for fewer years of experience relative to higher grades. And several posts are being offered to commission applicants with a minimum AD9/AD14 grade, while the same posts are open to national diplomats with an A7 or equivalent grade. We wonder how this difference can be compatible with the agreed principle of equal treatment of all EEAS staff, irrespective of origin, reflected in the Decision establishing the service? a trade union official said.
Paris demands Brussels intervene in Roma question
LEIGH PHILLIPS 25.08.2010 @ 17:41 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - After weeks of carefully staying in the background of the Roma expulsion question, the European Commission has been shoved to the forefront of the issue after French Prime Minister Francois Fillon called on President Jose Manuel Barroso to co-ordinate the subject at the EU level.While warning member states to ensure that any expulsions are done on a case-by-case basis and in line with European law, the commission has in the past few weeks consistently argued that it has no responsibility in the area.But in the wake of an avalanche of criticism in recent days of the French policy of round-ups and expulsions of Roma from human rights groups, the Council of Europe, French protestant churches and the Pope, Mr Fillon sent a letter to the EU executive, calling on Brussels to to improve co-ordination with the Romanian and Bulgarian authorities and accentuate initiatives within a European framework.Issuing the letter after an unscheduled meeting of France's interior, Europe, immigration and justice ministers, the French prime minister said he wants Mr Barroso to emphasise EU action on the subject and for the bloc to harmonise its practices regarding the Roma question.
Reding: Europe is not just a common market
In response on Wednesday, commissioner for justice and fundamental rights Viviane Reding in her first direct intervention in the controversy announced that she is drafting a report on the question to be issued next week, investigating specifically whether France is respecting EU law.She said that while respecting member states' responsibility in the area, the commission was ready and willing to take up the reins.The European Commission is prepared to have a very open, frank and honest dialogue with all member states on how best to take on – using the [EU] Treaties and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights as the basis – our joint responsibility for the Roma.
She emphasised the root causes of Roma exclusion must be tackled.
What is needed now are concrete and forward-looking measures to improve the social integration of Roma. We need, in particular, to tackle the root-causes leading Roma to abandon their homes and move across borders.Ms Reding also warned: I regret that some of the rhetoric that has been used in some member states in the past weeks has been openly discriminatory.It is clear that those who break the law need to face the consequences. It is equally clear that nobody should face expulsion just for being Roma.I call notably on the French authorities to engage in such a dialogue with all EU member states. If needed, the European Commission stands ready to act as a broker between member states and to monitor and assess progress being made.Europe is not just a common market – it is at the same time a community of values and fundamental rights. The European Commission will watch over this.
Besson: Not an anti-Roma summit
In a related development, stung by accusations that France was organising an anti-Roma summit, Eric Besson, France's immigration minister, issued a communique on Wednesday stressing that the upcoming meeting of interior ministers from major EU economies was to cover broader issues than the Roma subject, in particular irregular immigration.No point of order is specifically dedicated to this or that nationality or ethnic community, he wrote.It is instead a working seminar on the themes of asylum and the struggle against irregular immigration, inviting those ministers responsible from the principle European countries concerned with these problems.He also announced for the first time that a US cabinet member has also been invited to the informal bilateral meeting, which is to take place 6 September in Paris. French officials from the Immigration Ministry told EUobserver they did not yet know who in particular they had invited from Washington.Italian, German, UK, Spanish, Greek and Belgian ministers have been invited, but Belgium is ready to boycott the meeting if it becomes apparent that the meeting will be a France-Italy show intended to give the impression that the EU is giving its imprimatur to the Roma expulsion policies of France and Italy. The meeting appears to be politically toxic to many invitees, with the UK and Germany saying they will send minor officials instead of ministers. Spain for its part has also not decided whether it will attend. Greece however after showing initial hesitation is to send a minister. In an unusual move, Canada's immigration minister, Jason Kenney, has also been invited. According to EU diplomats, this is due to Ottawa's ongoing issues with the Czech Republic and Hungary over Roma citizens of the two states applying for refugee status in Canada.
Mr Besson also said that the summit is just one of a series of meetings on migration in the coming weeks, notably a ministerial conference in Brussels from 13-14 September and a conference of police chiefs of the EU6 (Germany, France, Italy, Poland and the UK) from 21-22 October organised by Paris aiming to put in place a Euro-Atlantic clandestine immigration task-force.
Budapest to restart IMF, EU talks in autumn
MATEJ HRUSKA 25.08.2010 @ 09:33 CET
The Hungarian economy ministry confirmed on Tuesday (24 August) that Budapest will resume talks with the International Monetary Fund over the country's loan program in the autumn.The negotiations will likely continue in the autumn and an agreement will be reached, the economy ministry told Bloomberg in an email statement. Talks between the two sides collapsed in mid-July as a result of serious disagreements over Hungary's attempt to win greater leeway from international lenders in ratcheting down its budget deficit in 2011.It wasn't a collapse of negotiations, it was just the end of a round of talks, the ministry said. What is likely to be the content of any agreement was not specified.
The EU is also to take part in the negotiations.The IMF, for its part, confirmed an ongoing interest in talks with Hungary. We continue to engage with the authorities with a view to bridging remaining differences,the Fund's spokesperson said in a statement quoted by Reuters. The IMF did not specify a timeline for negotiations.The talks ended last month after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said there is no point in negotiating long-term questions with the IMF and refused to agree with further cuts in government's spending, required by the IMF and the EU for further financial aid.Hungary's current €20 billion loan with the IMF agreed in 2008 expires in October, just as municipal elections are to take place in the country.The news helped the forint, which had lost more than two percent last week, to regain its losses, but increased the yield demand by investors for local government debt, which rose for the first time since 29 July.The Hungarian central bank said Monday that it did not know about the plan to return to international loan talks. I have no knowledge of any initiative from the government's part to relaunch the talks, bank's governor, Andras Simor, said at a press conference Monday.The central bank also raised its inflation forecast for this year while lowering its growth estimates for the next two years.The country's GDP is expected by the central bank to grow by 0.9 percent this year, with annual inflation at 4.7 percent. The projection for GDP growth in 2011 was lowered to 2.8 percent from 3.2, while inflation is estimated to be 3.5 percent, up from a three percent forecast.According to the bank's projections taking into account austerity measures already imposed, the government deficit should reach 4.3 percent of GDP in 2010, 4.1 in 2011 and 3.7 in 2012.

7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:(FROM FRIGHT)
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
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.
ISAIAH 24:17-23 KJV
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
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.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

IDF to Establish Anti-Chemical Unit
by Elad Benari AUG 26,10
As chemical weapons become a concern of more and more individuals around the world, Israel’s army is looking at how to deal with this threat.The IDF already has a Center for Atomic, Biological and Chemical Warfare (ABCW) which operates a unit of soldiers. What makes this year different from previous years is that the IDF is now placing a greater focus on this unit, by designating in advance the soldiers who will be enlisted in it, as well as by extending the length of their specialized training.Starting this year, the soldiers of the ABCW unit were enlisted separately from the rest of the Combat Engineering Corps, said Col. Ari Hoze, Head of the Center for ABCW. “They knew from the beginning of the enlistment process where they would be placed, familiarized themselves with the Center, and were aware of its importance. As such, we are in the process of extending the training course from five to eight months, and are increasing the intensity of the Battalion's training courses, so that it will be identical to every other battalion course.Hoze added that the idea behind the move is to make the battalion a part of a training force. The idea is that the Battalion will be part of a training force, with constant cooperation between them. The Battalion will enable other forces to continue their combat operations despite an ongoing ABC attack. It will evacuate, decontaminate, and protect the forces. The Battalion knows how to detect and identify chemical warfare materials, and will help soldiers to decontaminate and return to the field. We are also strengthening the professional identity of the Battalion soldiers so that they will understand the need and the importance of their work.
Currently the unit takes part in operational activities in the Judea and Samaria region. In addition, the Center for ABCW does much behind-the-scenes type of work, such as training various other combat units. The Center constantly studies the field and updates combat doctrine in accordance with the innovations and developments in the field. The ABCW instructors teach soldiers how to protect themselves during a chemical attack.As Col. Haze said, the threat to IDF soldiers has changed. The combat soldiers are used to normative warfare, but they must know how to protect themselves and operate during a chemical attack, he said. We know that our neighboring states have the means, and thus the threat has changed in a way that demands a response.In addition to the worldwide concerns over Iran, there are also concerns of chemical weapons in Syria. According to a report by GlobalSecurity.org, Syria has been developing a chemical weapons program since the Yom Kippur War in 1973. An decision by the Syrian government in the 1980s, says the report, led to a rapid development of non-conventional weapons. The Syrian arsenal is said to be comprised mostly of large amounts of Sarin in addition to tabun, mustard gas and is reportedly producing and weaponizing VX, though the exact volumes of weapons in the arsenal are unknown.The report also says that Syria cannot produce internally any necessary precursors to create chemical weapons, and as such relies heavily on supplies from other countries. It is believed that the most significant assistance to the Syrian chemical weapons program has come from Russia and France. In September of 2007, Israeli forces bombed a nuclear reactor in Syria. The Los Angeles Times reported that the bombed site was meant to produce plutonium, and was partially funded by North Korea. Israel bombed the reactor before it attained its planned capacity to manufacture plutonium for nuclear weapons. Though the CIA has confirmed that it was a nuclear reactor that was bombed, Syria has denied that it possesses any nuclear capacities or chemical warfare.There is also evidence of chemical weapons in Turkey, whose relations with Israel have been strained lately. In a recent report in the German magazine Der Spiegel, German experts confirmed the authenticity of photographs that show that PKK fighters in Turkey were killed by chemical weapons.
Col. Hoze believes that the gap between the reality of chemical warfare and the knowledge of IDF soldiers on how to deal with it will disappear by 2011. “Today there is an extensive system of inspections in which routine visits to all units are made once a year to ensure soldiers know how to deal with a Non-Conventional attack, he said. The IDF also plans on introducing special vehicles for ABCW decontamination and detection purposes. Another new system that will be introduced will enable soldiers to identify whether a fallen missile contains chemical warfare materials from a long distance.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Egypt Announces Site of Its First Nuclear Plant: El Dabaa
by Gil Ronen AUG 26,10
Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak announced Wednesday afternoon that the country's first nuclear power plant will be built at El Dabaa on the Mediterranean coast.The Associated Press reported that Energy Minister Hassan Younis said the decision is intended to prioritize national interests and gives a big boost to the Egyptian nuclear program.The plant will cost an estimated $1.5 billion, some of which will be financed by the government. Tenders will be issued by the end of the year. In 2007, Mubarak announced his intention to revive Egypt's nuclear program, which was put on hold after the 1986 disaster at Chernobyl, in the Ukraine. He said at the time that his government would cooperate fully with the International Atomic Energy Agency and that Cairo does not desire to develop nuclear weapons.In Lebanon, Hizbullah head Hassan Nasrallah said Tuesday that the country should consider building a nuclear power plant to provide it with energy. I call on the Lebanese government to seriously consider ... building a nuclear power plant for the peaceful purpose of generating electricity, which would be more cost-efficient than the plan the government has endorsed,he said in a speech broadcast by video link.

Iran searching for new domestic uranium deposits By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer – Wed Aug 25, 2:10 pm ET
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran said Wednesday it is making the search for new uranium deposits in the country a top priority now that it has started up its first in a planned network of nuclear power plants.The head of Iran's atomic energy agency did not explain why Iran was intensifying the exploration at home. Tehran has in the past denied its uranium stockpile was running low, as some international nuclear experts have concluded.U.N. Security Council sanctions bar countries from selling uranium to Iran in response to its refusal to stop uranium enrichment, a process that can be used to produce fuel for power plants or material for bombs.The most important priority, after the Bushehr nuclear power plant, is the exploration and discovery of uranium throughout the country, the official IRNA news agency quoted nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi as saying.The United States and other nations have tried to persuade Iran to stop enriching uranium out of concern Tehran is seeking a pathway to weapons production under the cover of its civil nuclear power program. Iran denies such an aim and says it only wants to enrich uranium to fuel a future network of power plants.With Russian help, Iran began loading uranium fuel into its first nuclear power plant in the southern city of Bushehr on Saturday after years of delays.
Salehi, who is also Iran's vice president, said only one-third of the country has been explored for uranium deposits. He said the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran will carry out exploration work anywhere it detects a uranium vein.With the assistance of President (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad) and the allocation of a budget, we hope to survey the whole country as far as uranium exploration is concerned, Salehi was quoted by IRNA as saying. He didn't elaborate but said the study and exploration activities throughout Iran may take eight years.Anywhere there is a vein of uranium, we will enter into exploration work, the Iranian government website quoted Salehi as saying.International experts have said Iran's stockpile of uranium oxide — used to make the gas that is spun through centrifuges in the enrichment process — appears to be rapidly diminishing.Tehran still has hundreds of tons of the uranium hexafluoride gas used in the enrichment process.The U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency believes Iran's rapidly expanding enrichment program has been built on 600 tons of uranium oxide imported from South Africa during the 1970s as part of plans by the U.S.-backed shah to build a civil nuclear power program.The Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security said last year that, based on 2008 IAEA statistics, Iran had already used up close to three-quarters of its South African supply.
Iran's own principal source of uranium is the Saghand mine in the center of the country, which has the capacity to produce 132,000 tons (120,000 metric tons) of ore per year. Located about 300 miles (480 kilometers) south of Tehran, the mine consists of an open pit with minimal reserves and a deep mine. It has a total estimated uranium ore reserve of 1.73 million tons (1.58 million metric tons).It also has smaller uranium deposits near the southern port city of Bandar Abbas where a mill is reportedly converting raw uranium into uranium ore concentrate known as yellowcake.Iran announced discoveries of new uranium deposits in 2006 at three sites in the central Khoshoomi, Charchooleh and Narigan areas.
Lebanon moves to address widespread use of weapons By ELIZABETH A. KENNEDY, Associated Press Writer – Wed Aug 25, 3:19 pm ET
BEIRUT – Lebanon moved to address the widespread possession and use of weapons in the country Wednesday after Shiite and Sunni groups used machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades in a deadly, hours-long street battle that was the worst clash in Beirut since 2008.The Information Ministry announced the formation of a committee headed by Prime Minister Saad Hariri to come up with proposals for confronting the problem, a day after the fighting in a residential neighborhood of Beirut killed three members of the Shiite Hezbollah group and a follower of the conservative Sunni al-Ahbash group.The announcement touches on one of Lebanon's most enduring problems: private, well-armed militias that operate outside the control of the central government.Hezbollah, the country's most powerful military force, maintains its own massive arsenal even though the group is now part of the government. At the end of Lebanon's 1975-1990 civil war, Hezbollah was the only group allowed to retain its weapons as protection against Israel.Nevertheless, many other groups held onto their weapons too and in recent years have been amassing more arms.Lebanon has always been a very volatile society, said Rami Khouri, director of the Issam Fares Institute of Public Policy and International Affairs at the American University of Beirut.There are a lot of arms around. The central government never really had a monopoly on arms.
Khouri said it is too early to gauge the significance of the new committee.The government has announced such plans before, to little effect.Witnesses told The Associated Press that Tuesday's fighting was touched off by a traffic dispute outside a mosque that escalated dramatically when local gunmen gathered reinforcements.Tensions between the Shiite and Sunni communities have been running high recently amid reports that Hezbollah members will be indicted in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, once the country's top Sunni politician and father of the current prime minister.Abdul Qadir al-Fakhani, a spokesman for al-Ahbash, said his group was meeting with Hezbollah and the Lebanese army on Wednesday to ensure the situation does not flare up again.The two groups issued a joint statement late Tuesday saying the incident resulted from a personal dispute and has no political or sectarian background.Nadim Houry, the Beirut director at Human Rights Watch, said Lebanon is caught in a cycle of impunity in such a heavily armed society.None of the gunmen is ever brought to justice. ... That is the real tragedy here, he said. Gunmen are still above the law — and the civil war ended 20 years ago.On Wednesday morning, cleaning crews were sweeping the chunks of concrete that had been blown off the mosque by bullets and grenades. At least one gunman holding an AK-47 assault rifle had taken up position in a building across from the mosque.The fighting was the worst clash in Beirut since May 2008, when Hezbollah gunmen swept through Sunni neighborhoods after the pro-Western government tried to dismantle the group's telecommunications network.More than 80 people were killed in the 2008 violence, pushing the country to the brink of civil war.

Iran says it's ready to sell arms to Lebanon
AUG 25,10
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran is prepared to sell weapons to Lebanon if Beirut asks for help in equipping its military, Iran's defense minister said Wednesday.Gen. Ahmad Vahidi's comments come a day after the leader of Lebanon's Shiite Hezbollah group, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, called on the Lebanese government to formally seek military assistance from Iran.Lebanon is our friend, Vahidi was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency. If there is a demand in this respect, we are ready to help that country and conduct weapons transactions with it.In a televised speech on Tuesday, Nasrallah vowed that his Iranian-backed group could help secure the aid for Lebanon's poorly equipped army.The Hezbollah leader made his suggestion after a U.S. congressman suspended $100 million of American military aid to Lebanon earlier this month over concerns the weapons could be used against Israel and that Hezbollah may have influence over the Lebanese army.Lebanon's government has since opened an account at the central bank to receive donations to help it purchase weapons for the military.But Beirut is not entirely dependent on U.S. military assistance, and has turned to other countries, including Russia and Arab nations, for assistance in the past.Iran is a key supporter of Hezbollah, believed to funnel it weapons and millions of dollars in funding, though Tehran denies arming the Shiite group. Hezbollah, also closely allied to Syria, boasts a heavy arsenal of rockets capable of reaching deep inside Israel.
In Washington, State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters the possibility of Iranian arms sales to Lebanon's army underscore the importance both to our national security and the security of the region to continue with our security assistance to the Lebanese army.Both the George W. Bush and Obama administrations have backed sending military aid to Lebanon, maintaining that a professional military is critical for the government to exert its sovereign authority, which has been challenged by armed Hezbollah militants.Asked what the status is of the review of U.S. aid to Lebanon demanded by some in Congress, Toner said: We're reviewing the program that's under way, and we hope to conclude that soon and renew assistance.
Iran Tests New Missile; Says Lebanon Requests Military Aid
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu AUG 25,10
Iran has successfully test-fired a new version of the domestically-built Fateh missile, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi told the country’s semi-official PRESS TV.The 3.5 ton missile is the latest in new weapons the Islamic Republic has shown off in the past week, following the launching of an unmanned bomber and the announcement by Iran that it will begin to produce two missile-launching boats.The range of the missile is estimated at around 125 miles, far out of range of Israel.Iran also announced that Lebanese President Michel Sleiman has officially asked the Islamic Republic to help equip the Lebanese Army. The request reportedly came at the same time that Hizbullah supreme leader Hassan Nasrallah urged Lebanon to file a request in response to moves by the U.S. Congress to halt $100 million in military aid to Beirut. Voices were raised in the United States following the recent attack by a Lebanese soldier on an IDF position in Israeli territory, killing an Israeli officer and wounding one other.Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said on Saturday that Iran's dynamic defense industry is capable of exporting arms to over 50 countries in the world.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
MK Amsalem: Slim Chance Drancy Attackers will be Arrested
by Gil Ronen AUG 25,10
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/139319
There is a slim chance that the perpetrators of the latest anti-Semitic attacks in Europe will be brought to justice, MK Chaim Amsalem (Shas) said Wednesday. There are simply so many anti-Semites in Europe nowadays that finding the attackers would be like finding a needle in a haystack, he explained.The French government views the anti-Semitic acts gravely but one must remember that there are seven million Muslims there. Not all of them are active anti-Semites, true, but there is incitement against the Jews in the mosques and there are always extremists.Amsalem served as rabbi of a congregation in Geneva, Switzerland, and saw his synagogue set on fire. We see vandalism at Jewish cemeteries and synagogues all of the time, he told Arutz Sheva's Hebrew-language service. There are many threats; there is a rise in anti-Semitism and it comes against a backdrop of the strengthening of Islam in Europe. The Jews feel uncomfortable in this atmosphere and let us hope the situation does not get worse.MK Amsalem called upon all of Europe's Jews to make Aliyah to Israel. Jews need to understand that they belong in the Land of Israel, and this might also stop the demographic threat [in Israel],he said. If they immigrated to Israel everything would look different.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Tropical Storm Earl forms in eastern Atlantic
AUG 25,10
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Tropical Depression Seven in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean strengthened into Tropical Storm Earl late Wednesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in its latest advisory.Early computer models show the system eventually steering northwest toward Bermuda and away from key oil and gas producing areas in the Gulf of Mexico.Earl was located about 520 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands, moving west at 16 miles per hour with winds up to about 40 mph from 35 mph earlier.
Some strengthening was forecast during the next 48 hours and Earl could become the Atlantic storm season's third hurricane by Friday.The NHC said Hurricane Danielle was still a Category 1 storm, packing winds near 85 mph, unchanged from earlier, but slow strengthening was still possible during the next 48 hours.Danielle was located in the central Atlantic about 685 miles east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands, now moving northwest at about 17 mph.Computer models still show this system heading northwest and then in a more northerly direction, eventually passing just east of Bermuda.(Reporting by Joe Silha; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)
Hurricane Frank spins away from Mexico west coast

Ashland, Ore., fire destroys 11 homes; damages 2 By JEFF BARNARD, Associated Press Writer – Wed Aug 25, 1:36 am ET
ASHLAND, Ore. – A wind-whipped wildfire ripped through the outskirts of this southern Oregon college and tourist town Tuesday, igniting a string of homes one after the other, setting off explosions and sending up tornadoes of black smoke, fire officials and a resident said.When the flames were finally controlled around dusk, 11 homes were destroyed and two others damaged in the Oak Knoll neighborhood east of Interstate 5.Residents along four streets in the neighborhood of 1970s-era homes were evacuated. No injuries were reported, city Fire Marshal and Division Chief Margueritte Hickman said. A shelter was set up for displaced residents.Cindy and Matt Walker were home getting ready to go on vacation when they saw homes across the street catching fire one after the other.Cindy Walker got a phone call from a friend who saw smoke. I looked out, and the sky was just burning, she said. Right across the street it was on fire.
She called 911.
Immediately a second house ignited, and then a third while I was on a line to dispatch, Cindy Walker said. Then I hung up and started to water my yard and neighbors' houses, til the Fire Department showed up.It was just inferno — black smoke, RV, things blowing up, gas tanks, tires, she said. Propane tanks, I don't know. It sounded like bombs going off. Like tornados of black smoke coming out of garages and backyards.Firefighters were busy across the freeway battling a six-acre grass fire that destroyed two shacks, a trailer and an old barn when they got the call that flames were running up a grassy hill and igniting a line of homes, said Hickman.Firefighters and engines from two counties rushed to the neighborhood and started dousing homes, said Dennis Keife, chief of Lake Creek Rural Fire Department.
It was just surround and drown, he said. Two helicopters also responded and dropped water on the blaze.Hickman said officials have not yet determined the fire's cause and were unsure whether it was two fires or one that jumped the freeway on the edge of Ashland, which has a population of about 21,000 and is best known as home to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.The wind was pretty strong, she said.Cindy Walker said many people have stopped watering their lawns and landscaping due to drought conditions and the high price of city water. That may have contributed to the dry conditions that fueled the fire, she said.Hickman added some of the burned homes had shake roofs, which ignite easily.We are in extreme fire danger, said Hickman, noting some of the landscaping close to homes could have contributed to them catching fire.The reason we have restrictions are fires like this.By dark, a line of burned homes stretched along the freeway side of the street, some gutted and some burned to the ground, flames still burning the interiors. Cars sped by on the freeway behind them.It looks like a war zone has gone through here, said District Fire Marshal Don Hickman, Margueritte Hickman's husband. He said officials had boosted the numbers of firefighters on duty due to the hot, dry weather, with temperatures around 100 degrees. At the end of the street, Ellen Carey waited for permission to look at the homes of her two daughters. One was destroyed, and the other, across the street, was still standing. The daughter whose home was destroyed, Michelle Ogier, was camping with her husband and daughter and decided not to return right away.They are in shock, Carey said after calling them with the news. It is terrible. It's awful. Hopefully I can walk up and see if anything is there. At least no people died.
German government adopts plans for bank levy By JUERGEN BAETZ, Associated Press Writer – Wed Aug 25, 12:38 pm ET
BERLIN – Germany's government on Wednesday adopted an overhaul of the financial system that proposes an orderly way to restructure ailing banks and requires all banks to contribute to a bailout fund to ward off future crises.Government spokesman Steffen Seibert said the legislation, approved by Chancellor Angela Merkel's cabinet and passed on to parliament for debate, is aimed at enhancing Germany's financial regulation capabilities to make sure a big bank's failure could be handled without endangering the stability of the entire financial system.The German proposal follows similar measures agreed to in Britain and France as part of European efforts to prevent taxpayers from having to foot the bill should banks fail in the future.The draft law envisions requiring banks to make an annual contribution that will be based on the size of their balance sheets, their interconnectivity and risk exposure, expected to amount to about euro1 billion ($1.27 billion).Finance ministry spokesman Michael Offer said calculations showed had such a levy been in existence in 2006 before the financial crisis, it would have brought the government about euro1.2 to euro1.3 billion in additional taxes.The law, more than 100 pages long, also foresees expanding the powers of Germany's financial regulator over troubled banks, including an orderly restructuring process that could see a bank's property being transferred to another private bank or a state-run institution as a last resort.
Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said the measures are a lesson from the financial crisis and will put Germany in a good position to deal with a possible future banking crisis.He stressed that the law will facilitate an orderly restructuring of big ailing banks having complex ties with other financial institutions. It's not so much about too big to fail, but more about too interconnected too fail, Schaeuble told journalists.The bank levy will go toward a new fund that would handle any future bailouts without using taxpayers' money. However, the fund will also have access to a part of the much larger bailout fund the government has set up in the wake of the financial crisis, Schaeuble said.This fund will be able to fulfill its duty from its first day on, Schaeuble said.Opposition lawmaker Joachim Poss criticized the bank levy as too low. The Social Democrat said the new fund was therefore insufficient to shoulder the bankruptcy of any major bank.European countries had sought at the last Group of 20 meeting to establish an international bank levy, but failed to garner the support of Canada, Australia and Japan, whose banks did not fail in the crisis.Offer said, however, that EU finance ministers would discuss the possibility of a Europe-wide levy at a meeting next month.Schaeuble also said that Germany is still promoting the introduction of a financial transaction tax within the EU, after a global tax was officially nixed by the G-20 summit in Toronto.I hope for a common solution within the European Union. Going it alone as a nation wouldn't be beneficial,he said.

Loony Left's flotilla way off course
By MINDELLE JACOBS, QMI Agency TORONTO SUN
Once again, the loony Left is jumping at the chance to demonize Israel, this time with a ridiculous plan to organize a Canadian flotilla to try to break Israel’s blockade of terrorist-run Gaza.Where were these assorted peaceniks and naive social activists over the years as thousands of rockets were fired into Israel by Hamas and Hezbollah thugs? Where was the comfort for the families of all the Israelis killed, injured or maimed for life by neighbouring genocidal cheerleaders? How many peaceniks made common cause with the truly vulnerable by hunkering down with Israelis in bomb shelters to experience what it’s like to be under constant attack?
The incredible irony of the Turkish ship that tried to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza earlier this year is that the people in Gaza aren’t starving. They’re ruled by terrorists but they don’t have to eat tree bark and weeds to stay alive.Not like, say, the North Koreans, many of whom are literally starving to death. Theoretically, at least, the people in Gaza can vote Hamas out if they want to lead more normal lives. Not so with the poor North Koreans, who have been stuck with a dysfunctional dynasty of lunatic dictators, the latest being eternal president Kim Jong-il.Where’s the flotilla to save the oppressed North Koreans? Why isn’t the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, which is so gung-ho about a Canadian boat heading to Gaza, organizing a campaign to send food to North Korea? One wonders, too, when we’ll see a protester-packed flotilla on its way to Darfur to demonstrate against the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of tribal minorities by bloodthirsty militias backed by the racist Sudanese government. I await the cries of dismay from the loony Left over the terrible violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where untold thousands of women have been raped.
So worried are the peaceniks about the fate of Gazans that they apparently haven’t given a thought to the terrible persecution of the Kurds by Turkey over the years. A Turkish ship bound for Gaza to help the poor Palestinians was a cause celebre. But, for years, there has been a curious silence about how badly Turkey has treated its minority Kurds.Tens of thousands of Kurds have been killed and hundreds of thousands illegally displaced over the years as Turkey fought to repress the Kurds. Many other Kurdish activists simply disappeared without a trace.The criminalization of opinion remains a key obstacle to the protection of human rights in Turkey,Human Rights Watch observed in its 2010 world report.Der Spiegel recently published a story saying German experts believe Turkish forces used banned chemical weapons in the killing of eight Kurdish rebels in 2009. Why is there no outrage from peace activists about this? When will the Canadian Union of Postal Workers be organizing a
letter-writing campaign to Turkey’s leaders to demand an explanation?
Lastly, why has the loony Left expressed no concern about how badly the Palestinians are treated in Lebanon, where they have largely been kept in refugee camps for 60 years and denied good jobs? The Palestinians there can’t expand existing camps or build new ones. Where’s the flotilla for them? There’s no flotilla because it’s a very hypocritical world, notes Aurel Braun, an international relations prof at the University of Toronto. The (Gaza) flotillas are not about food. They’re not about supplies. They’re about delegitimizing Israel.What else can we expect? It’s the loony Left.mindy.jacobs@sunmedia.ca
Pre-Crime Technology To Be Used In Washington D.C.Computers predict what crime will be committed where, by who and when Steve Watson Infowars.net
Tuesday, Aug 24th, 2010
http://www.prisonplanet.com/pre-crime-technology-to-be-used-in-washington-d-c.html
Law enforcement agencies in Washington D.C. have begun to use technology that they say can predict when crimes will be committed and who will commit them, before they actually happen.The Minority Report like pre-crime software has been developed by Richard Berk, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.Previous incarnations of the software, already being used in Baltimore and Philadelphia were limited to predictions of murders by and among parolees and offenders on probation.According to a report by ABC News, however, the latest version, to be implemented in Washington D.C., can predict other future crimes as well.When a person goes on probation or parole they are supervised by an officer. The question that officer has to answer is what level of supervision do you provide? Berk told ABC News, intimating that the program could have a bearing on the length of sentences and/or bail amounts.The technology sifts through a database of thousands of crimes and uses algorithms and different variables, such as geographical location, criminal records and ages of previous offenders, to come up with predictions of where, when, and how a crime could possibly be committed and by who.The program operates without any direct evidence that a crime will be committed, it simply takes datasets and computes possibilities.
People assume that if someone murdered then they will murder in the future, Berk also states, But what really matters is what that person did as a young individual. If they committed armed robbery at age 14 that’s a good predictor. If they committed the same crime at age 30, that doesn’t predict very much.Critics have urged that the program encourages categorizing individuals on a risk scale via computer mathematics, rather than on real life, and that monitoring those people based on such a premise is antithetic to a justice system founded on the premise of the presumption of innocence.
Other police departments and law agencies across the country have begun to look into and use similar predictive technologies. The Memphis Police Department, for example uses a program called Operation Blue CRUSH, which uses predictive analytics developed by IBM.Other forms of pre-crime technology in use or under development include surveillance cameras that can predict when a crime is about to occur and alert police, and even neurological brain scanners that can read people’s intentions before they act, thus detecting whether or not a person has hostile intent.It is not too far fetched to imagine all these forms of the technology being used together in the future by law enforcement bodies.The British government has previously debated introducing pre-crime laws in the name of fighting terrorism. The idea was that suspects would be put on trial using MI5 or MI6 intelligence of an expected terror attack. This would be enough to convict if found to be true on the balance of probabilities, rather than beyond reasonable doubt.The government even has plans to collect lifelong records on all residents starting at the age of five, in order to screen for those who might be more likely to commit crimes in the future.Another disturbing possibility for such technology comes in the form of a financial alliance of sorts between Internet search engine giant Google and the investment arm of the CIA and the wider U.S. intelligence network.
Google and In-Q-Tel have recently injected a sum of up to $10 million each into a company called Recorded Future, which uses analytics to scour Twitter accounts, blogs and websites for all sorts of information, which is used to assemble actual real-time dossiers on people.The company describes its analytics as the ultimate tool for open-source intelligence and says it can also predict the future.Recorded Future takes in vast amounts of personal information such as employment changes, personal education and family relations. Promotional material also shows categories covering pretty much everything else, including entertainment, music and movie releases, as well as other innocuous things like patent filings and product recalls.
Those detached from any kind of moral reality will say If you’ve got nothing to hide then what is the problem with being scanned for pre-crime? If it keeps us all safe from murderers, rapists and terrorists I’m all for it.How far towards a literal technological big brother police state will we slip before people wake up to the fact?

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

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

20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army,(RUSSIA,MUSLIMS) and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.(SIBERIAN DESERT)
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.(NUCLEAR BOMB)
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
Will the High Court Order Destruction of Mosques?

Two mosques in Judea and Samaria may soon be ordered to be torn down by Israel’s High Court. Ironically enough, this decision may actually come about as a result of many appeals by a left-wing organization dedicated to assisting Arabs.The Yesh Din organization was established in March of 2005 and is comprised of volunteers who, as its website states, have organized to oppose the continuing violation of Palestinian human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The organization’s mission, as stated on its website, is to achieve a long-term structural improvement in the human rights situation in the OPT.Yesh Din is run by volunteers yet also receives guidance from a team of lawyers, human rights experts and media consultants. Among its board members are former MK Shulamit Aloni, former Tel Aviv Mayor Shlomo Lahat, and former Deputy Attorney General Yehudit Karp.One year ago, Yesh Din appealed to Israel’s High Court on behalf of two Arabs who opposed the building of a synagogue in Ma’ale Shomron. The same day the appeal was filed, the court issued an interim order which prevented the construction of the synagogue. The residents of Ma’ale Shomron, however, were unaware of the court order and continued to build the synagogue, only finding out about it after a Torah scroll had already been dedicated and the synagogue had begun to be regularly used. The residents honored the court decree and ceased all construction on the synagogue.
Despite the fact that the residents honored the court order once they became aware of it, Yesh Din pressured the State Attorney’s Office into deciding that the court order was violated and as such the synagogue must be sealed off within 60 days. Attorney Doron Nir-Tzvi, who represents the residents, argued on the other hand that no proof was brought forward showing that the court order was indeed violated, and that no such proof could exist, as the court order was not directed at the residents who were not a side in the appeal. Nir-Tzvi explained that the neighborhood is 10 years old and is located on state-owned land. The synagogue, said Nir-Tzvi, was built in an area designated for public buildings. About a month ago, a Supreme Court Judge ordered the state to hold back any tearing down or sealing off of the synagogue.Meanwhile, the Regavim advocacy group has presented a counter-appeal to Yesh Din’s appeal, in which it requests that two mosques that have been illegally built on state-owned land and with no permit, be destroyed. One of the mosques is located in an Arab village north of Beit El, and the second one is located near Yitzhar.According to Attorney Amir Fisher who represents Regavim, the two mosques were built adjacent to housing units in Jewish neighborhoods, making them both illegal as well as a threat to residents’ security. The appeal requests that the Supreme Court instruct the State of Israel to explain why the mosques should not be destroyed.The Civil Administration ordered two months ago the destruction of the mosque near Beit El, yet the mosque has not been destroyed. Fisher said that the destruction of the mosque, as he was told in response to his appeal, is in the hands of the decision makers according to the priorities determined by them periodically.
He added that under the same priorities, the Civil Administration has refrained from destroying 30,000 Arab buildings which have been built without permits. He believes that citing priorities as the determining factor of when the mosque will be destroyed, means that there is no intention of ever destroying it. The Civil Administration's response indicates contempt towards the petitioners and a complete and unreasonable disregard for their claims of the danger hovering over the residents of the community of Beit El, when construction of the mosque is complete and it is populated,said Fisher.How can one presume to enforce the law equally in the Judea and Samaria, when the Administration inspectors do not enforce the law against huge public buildings, which have been established next to Jewish villages in a location which endangers residents? asked Fisher, and added that the Palestinian Authority’s plan to take over Israeli lands in Judea and Samaria is well-known, and has been publicly stated in the media by its Prime Minister Salam Fayad. Part of this plan, explained Fisher, is to establish large public buildings throughout Judea and Samaria, and to later use the buildings in future territorial arguments between Israel and the PA. The desire of the PA, explained Fisher, is to determine such arguments in a one-sided manner and present Israel with grounded facts.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Mideast talks will fail: Iran
Tue Aug 24, 4:20 am ET
TEHRAN (AFP) – Direct peace talks between Israel and Palestinians will fail as long as the root of the problem remained, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said on Tuesday.We don't think (peace) talks are going to yield any results, Mehmanparast told reporters at his weekly press conference.The root of the Palestinian problem should be cured. We cannot see a solution to the Palestinian issue when the Palestinians have been driven out to other countries, while occupiers and invaders have come from other countries (to Palestinian territories), Mehmanparast said.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas have accepted a US invitation to relaunch direct peace negotiations in Washington on September 2 following a 20-month hiatus.The Palestinians insist talks should lead to the creation of an independent state, and sought an Israeli freeze on settlement activity for the talks to resume.Netanyahu has made it clear there should be no preconditions for the talks.The Islamic Republic of Iran does not recognise Israel and relations between the two have deteriorated under the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has infuriated Western countries by claiming that the Holocaust was a myth.Israel, believed to be the sole nuclear weapons holder in the Middle East, has never ruled out a military strike against Tehran to stop its controversial atomic programme.
Supporters: Church ignored in NYC mosque furor By DEEPTI HAJELA, Associated Press Writer - AUG 24,10
NEW YORK – Supporters of a Greek Orthodox church destroyed on Sept. 11 say officials willing to speak out about a planned community center and mosque near ground zero have been silent on efforts to get the church rebuilt.But the World Trade Center site's owner says a deal to help rebuild St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church was offered and rejected, after years of negotiations, over money and other issues.
Though the projects are not related, supporters — including George Pataki, New York's governor at the time of the Sept. 11 attacks — have questioned why public officials have not addressed St. Nicholas' future while they lead a debate on whether and where the Islamic cultural center should be built.What about us? Why have they forgotten or abandoned their commitment to us? asked Father Alex Karloutsos, assistant to the archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. When I see them raising issues about the mosque and not thinking about the church that was destroyed, it does bother us.In an effort to deal with the furor over the planned location of the Islamic center, Gov. David Paterson has suggested that state land farther away from ground zero be used. He was scheduled to meet with New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan on Tuesday to discuss the Park51 project, which is planned for two blocks north of the 16-acre World Trade Center site.Rather than focus his attention on the mosque, Gov. Paterson should step in right away to ensure that the state of New York and the Port Authority uphold the agreement with the Greek Orthodox church so this project can go forward without further delay, state Sen. Dean Skelos said Monday.
Paterson declined to comment on the issue.
The 300-member congregation lost its 90-year-old parish just south of the World Trade Center when the twin towers collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001, leaving only a handful of artifacts that were removed from the rubble, including a small bell and cross, a crucifix and wax candles that had not melted.Leaders of the church and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey — the agency that owns ground zero — have spent years negotiating a deal that would let the church rebuild on land a bit farther south than the 1,200-square-foot lot it sat on, in exchange for financial help to rebuild it.The agency said the church stopped negotiating after rejecting an offer in 2008 of $20 million in financing, plus up to an additional $40 million to cover costs related to the construction of a parking lot underneath the church.Port Authority officials said the church wanted final approval on the design of the parking lot and the potential for an additional $20 million in public money. The agency said it made a final offer in 2009 that was rejected.St. Nicholas Church continues to retain the right to build on its original location, the agency said in a statement Monday. It said work could begin in 2013 if the church helped finance it.
Karloutsos, the archbishop's assistant, denied that any offer had been rejected, instead saying that Port Authority pulled the deal and has since ignored the church's attempts at dialogue. This is about the Port Authority reneging on a promise, he said.Pataki, who as governor promised that St. Nicholas would be rebuilt after the 2001 attacks, said Monday that the Port Authority needed to reach out to church officials.It's just wrong that the rebuilding of St. Nicholas Church, which was there, which was part of the master plan ... has basically been ignored, he said.
George Demos, a Long Island Republican congressional candidate seeking to unseat Rep. Tim Bishop, said he wrote President Barack Obama a letter lobbying for the church.All of our political leadership seems intent on assisting the mosque, at the same time they have taken no steps to make sure St. Nicholas is rebuilt,he said.Both Demos and Pataki are opposed to building an Islamic center and mosque at a building two blocks north of the World Trade Center site. The uproar over the proposed $100 million center has become a national campaign issue and led hundreds to rally in front of ground zero over the weekend. Critics of the project say it's an affront to the memories of the more than 2,700 people killed at ground zero on Sept. 11 to locate the center so close to the site. Proponents say accepting the center respects religious freedom and tolerance.
Mideast passions quiet over NY mosque showdown By BRIAN MURPHY, Associated Press Writer – Mon Aug 23, 5:48 pm ET
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – On the streets of lower Manhattan, there's no mistaking how the passions flow: One side saying its their patriotic duty to block a planned Islamic center and the other insisting America cannot curtail freedoms as revenge for the Sept. 11 attacks.But in the Middle East — where the imam spearheading the plans is now touring on a U.S.-funded outreach mission — the proposed mosque and community center near the former World Trade Center towers is viewed in less stark tones.Much of it circles back to what the showdown says about Islam's identity in the West, theories about the roots of Islamophobia or even whether the plans in New York are worth the fight.Mideast commentators argue that many in the region view the clash as a wholly American spectacle — about political posturing and the lingering wounds of 9/11 — that distracts from genuine troubles such as Iran's growing clout or Israel's pressure on Gaza.The mosque is not an issue for Muslims and they don't care about it being built, wrote Saudi columnist Abdel Rahman Rashed in the pan-Arab Asharq al-Awsat newspaper.Some Muslims would even consider building a mosque there would be a permanent reminder of the acts of terrorists, who carried out their crime in the name of Islam, he added.Despite the power of the 9/11 memories, other Muslim struggles in the West have brought far greater public outcry in the Middle East — such as Switzerland's ban on new minaret construction and the growing European moves to outlaw burqas and other Islamic coverings.
There is indifference, complained Sheik Fawzi el-Zefzaf, a member of Egypt's Islamic Scholars Association. The Arab and Muslim worlds should be supporting the imam, he said, referring to Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, whose Cordoba Initiative is behind plans for the $100 million, 13-story project about two blocks from where the Twin Towers once stood.Rauf plans to travel Tuesday to Qatar — home of the influential Al-Jazeera television network — as part of a State Department-funded trip that began last week in Bahrain. Rauf has avoided any extensive comments of the New York project. Instead, he has stuck closely to less-volatile subjects such as battling extremism and Islam's compatibility with the U.S. Constitution and other Western values of freedom and open debate.In an interview with Bahrain's Al Wasat newspaper published Monday, Rauf said he was trying to reach out to Islamic scholars to urge Muslims worldwide to become more effective members of their communities and have complete nationalism — apparently meaning integration with local laws and standards.
He stressed that Muslims can remain faithful as well as actively engaged in the affairs of the countries where they live.I see that every religious community faces challenges, but the real challenge lies in keeping true to the core values of the faith and how to express these values in a specific time and place,the imam was quoted as saying.But Rauf's refusal to publicly answer questions about the New York mosque on his 15-day Mideast trip stands in stark counterpoint to the scenes Sunday near Ground Zero.Hundreds of demonstrators squared off — sometimes in nose-to-nose confrontations. No mosque, no way, some chanted. Others replied with cries: We say no to racist fear! Rauf's wife, Daisy Khan, said the rage against the project is like a metastasized anti-Semitism.Fear is back, with a vengeance, wrote James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute in a commentary published in The National, which is supported by Abu Dhabi's government.It rules the street and we have every right to be concerned. What is needed now is are strong voices appealing to our better selves.Others in the Mideast media and Web chat rooms have chewed over whether President Barack Obama — and the Democrats by extension — will pay a political price for his stance that Muslims have the right to build the center at the site. Obama, however, has not commented on whether he thinks the plan should move forward.Obama's election was widely welcomed across the Middle East, but his popularity has suffered over perceptions he has failed to take a harder line with Israel and expanded the war in Afghanistan. Lebanese political affairs analyst, Salim Nasser, wrote in the pan-Arab daily Al Hayat that the firestorm over the mosque plans is a political bomb that will end up wounding Obama and his party.
Two professors at Al-Azhar, Sunni Islam's leading scholarly institution, stated in a widely read editorial in the Egyptian daily Al-Masry Al-Youm, that the real damage has been to the international perception of Islam since the New York battles can only end up reinforcing the memory of 9/11. From Kuwait, Egyptian publisher Ahmed el-Adly said Muslims' image in the West has been ravaged time and again after 9/11 and other jihad-inspired attacks in London, Madrid and elsewhere. He wondered if the New York mosque proposal is the right goal at the right time. No need to rock the boat, he said.Associated Press writers Sarah El Deeb in Cairo and Bassem Mroue in Beirut contributed to this report.(This version CORRECTS that el-Adly's comments were made in an interview).)

US mindful of Palestinian stand on settlements
Mon Aug 23, 4:23 pm ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States said Monday it is mindful of the Palestinian call for Israel to halt settlements, but stopped short of saying it will back such a demand at new peace talks here next month.In the West Bank town of Ramallah, Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erakat warned earlier in the day that Israel must chose between settlements or peace when direct negotiations resume in Washington.In the first direct talks between the two sides in 20 months, Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet in Washington on September 2 with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.The issue of settlements, the issue of the moratorium... has been a topic of discussion and will be a topic of discussion when the leaders meet with Secretary Clinton on September 2, State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said.When she announced Friday the resumption of the peace talks, Clinton said the negotiations will take place without conditions, or without Israel having to heed the Palestinian call to halt settlements.In a letter to the European Union, Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas expressed fears about the impact on peace talks if Israel resumes settlements, particularly in East Jerusalem, which is not part of an Israeli moratorium.It also remains to be seen whether Israel will renew a 10-month moratorium on settlement construction in the West Bank that it imposed in November last year.
If Mr Netanyahu decides to renew settlement tenders come September 26, he will have decided to stop negotiations, Erakat warned.Crowley added: We are very mindful of the Palestinian position.As negotiations resume, Crowley said, we expect that both parties will do everything within their power to create... an environment for those negotiations to continue constructively.The Palestinians want east Jerusalem as the capital of a future state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Israel claims all of Jerusalem as its capital.
Abbas warns Ashton of threat to peace talks
LEIGH PHILLIPS AND ANDREW RETTMAN 23.08.2010 @ 09:41 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has warned in a letter to EU high representative Catherine Ashton that an end to Israel's partial settlement freeze would bring an immediate halt to direct peace talks, announced on Friday (19 August).It's impossible to conduct negotiations alongside settlement construction, he wrote in a letter to the EU's foreign policy chief, US President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, the Israeli daily, Haaretz, reports.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last November announced a partial 10-month moratorium on new construction of settlements in the occupied West Bank. The move, attacked by Ramallah as disingenuous, as it excluded public buildings and construction in East Jerusalem, ends on 26 September.Mr Netanyahu for his part told ministers of his right-wing Likud party on Sunday that the end-date to the partial freeze will be adhered to, giving the freshly announced direct peace talks, which are due to begin 2 September, a very brief window to achieve results unless there is pressure from the US, EU and other members of the quartet to convince Israel to extend the moratorium.The Israeli leader said he believed that if Ramallah is a real partner, then peace could be achieved.If we find we have a real partner on the Palestinian side, an honest and earnest partner in negotiations that will need both sides to make the necessary steps - not just the Israeli side but also the Palestinian side - if we find we have a partner like that, we can soon reach a historic peace agreement between the two peoples.He set out three elements of a final agreement: realistic security arrangements, recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and an end to the conflict. He also underscored that such security arrangements would involve disarming the Palestinian side, while Israel remained free to maintain its military.
Ms Ashton welcomed the move by both sides to launch direct talks. Since taking office, the high representative has focussed much of her energies on resolving the Middle East conflict.This decision by the parties to engage in substantive talks represents a major step on the road towards a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the region, something I am hopeful we can now achieve, she said in a statement. We all want to see a two-state solution with the State of Israel and an independent, democratic, contiguous and viable State of Palestine, living side by side in peace and security with each other and their neighbours.Hamas, the governors of the Gaza Strip and excluded from the talks, have called the negotiations a waste of time, however.Hamas is not against the principle of negotiation. But is Israel really interested in making these talks successful? Ghazi Hamad, the group's spokesman, told EUobserver. We need Israel to say from the outset: We are an occupying force; all 1967 borders are not part of Israel and we are ready to give up, to withdraw from these territories.Mr Hamad said that Israel will use the talks to consolidate its hold over East Jerusalem.But Israel will say: Jerusalem is our capital. Jericho is part of Israel. We have to keep a security zone in the West Bank. We have to keep building the wall and to keep our border checkpoints.This means they are wasting time.
The EU and the Quartet want to impose some conditions on Hamas, like recognition of Israel and renunciation of violent resistance [as a pre-condition to including it in the talks]. It's not fair - when they ask Hamas to recognise Israel but do not ask Israel to recognise the Palestinian state. How can victims be asked to give recognition to the thief? How? The militant Islamist Hamas was joined in its scepticism by anti-corruption campaigner and critic of the Palestinian Authority Mustafa Barghouti.In a statement last week he criticised the new talks for not containing clear terms of reference, a timetable, a binding mechanism for implementation, an active role from the international community, American or other international guarantees, and a firm Israeli commitment to international law and UN resolutions.Mr Barghouti, a popular democracy activist that rejects both autocracy and corruption of the governing Fatah party, nor the fundamentalism of Hamas warned that the talks' terms of reference should have be based on international law and UN resolutions.He said he feared the talks would result in an even larger failure than that of the Camp David negotiations, 17 years ago.
Blair: Serious ideas needed for Mideast success
AUG 24,10
HERZLIYA, Israel – Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has called on Israelis and Palestinians to bring serious proposals to a new round of peace talks set to start on Sept. 2.Speaking at an Israeli academic conference on Tuesday, Blair said the sides' proposals for how to solve the decades-old conflict's thorniest issues will be a litmus test of seriousness.Blair has been assisting the U.S.-led effort to restart peace talks as the special representative of the Quartet of Mideast peacemakers — the U.S., the U.N., the European Union and Russia.Since the new talks were announced last week, both sides have been laying out their starting positions, with Israel demanding security guarantees and the Palestinians rejecting any growth in Israel's West Bank settlements.

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
UN nuke watchdog chief presses Israeli ministers By MATTI FRIEDMAN, Associated Press Writer - AUG 24,10
JERUSALEM – The U.N.'s atomic watchdog chief held talks with Israeli officials Tuesday in what was expected to be an effort to push the country to open its secretive nuclear program to international scrutiny.Yukiya Amano's low-profile visit to Israel comes ahead of the International Atomic Energy Agency's September board meeting and general conference. Israel will likely be a central topic at the meeting, at which Arab countries are expected to continue a recent push for more scrutiny of Israel's nuclear capabilities.Israel refuses to confirm it possesses a nuclear arsenal, following a long-standing policy it terms nuclear ambiguity. But it is widely considered to be the Mideast's only nuclear power.During the two-day visit, Amano was set to hold talks with Cabinet ministers in charge of atomic energy and strategic affairs, as well as with President Shimon Peres, Israeli officials said.
He was not slated to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The officials said talks were expected to focus on the desire by the U.N.'s Vienna-based watchdog, the IAEA, to see Israel join the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Amano's schedule was not officially announced.Earlier this year, The Associated Press learned that Amano had sent a letter soliciting proposals from the agency's 151 member states on how to persuade Israel to sign the nonproliferation treaty.The latest pressure has put the Jewish state in an uncomfortable position. It wants the international community to take stern action to prevent Iran from getting atomic weapons but at the same time brushes off calls to come clean about its own nuclear capabilities.In Vienna, IAEA spokesman Ayhan Evrensel said Tuesday only that Amano would exchange views on issues of mutual interest while in Israel.Amano replaced the IAEA's former chief, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, in December.
Kuwait concerned over Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant
Tue Aug 24, 6:11 am ET
KUWAIT CITY (AFP) – Kuwait has expressed safety concerns over Iran's new nuclear reactor on the opposite side of the Gulf, fearing fallout from possible leaks, the official news agency KUNA reported.Kuwait's concern is based on fears of any leaks due to natural causes that may have future consequences, foreign ministry undersecretary Khaled al-Jarallah said, quoted by KUNA late on Monday.Kuwait is the nearest country to the Russian-built nuclear plant in the Iranian city of Bushehr, located like Kuwait in the northern Gulf.Iran loaded the Bushehr facility with nuclear fuel last Saturday and the United States said there was no proliferation risk from the civilian plant because of Russian involvement.A number of Kuwaiti MPs, however, have called on the government to take precautionary measures against any incident from Iran's first nuclear plant.But Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters at his weekly press conference on Tuesday that the Bushehr plant adheres to high standards and had the seal of approval of the UN nuclear watchdog.Due to the high standards with regards to safeguards in the Bushehr nuclear power plant, there should be no concern about it, he said. The International Atomic Energy Agency has approved the safeguards in the Bushehr plant.According to Kuwaiti media, a senior Iranian official is expected in the emirate within days, possibly to discuss the nuclear plant issue.During a brief visit to Kuwait on Monday, following talks in Tehran, Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani said in a statement carried by KUNA that the Bushehr plant was Iran's business.If the plant is peaceful and for power use according to our information, then this is a legitimate right for Iran under international law and we do not want to change this framework at the present time,he said.
Iran launches assault boats, warns don't play with fire
by Farhad Pouladi – Mon Aug 23, 3:35 pm ET
TEHRAN (AFP) – Iran began mass-producing two high-speed variants of missile-launching assault boats on Monday, warning its enemies not to play with fire as it boosts security along its coastline.The inauguration of the production lines for the Seraj and Zolfaqar speedboats comes a day after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled Iran's home-built bomber drone, which he said would deliver death to Iran's enemies.The United States expressed concern about the Islamic republic's growing military capabilities.Iran's state news agency IRNA reported that the Seraj (Lamp) and Zolfaqar (named after Shiite Imam Ali's sword) boats would be manufactured at the marine industries complex of the defence ministry.Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi opened the assembly lines, saying the vessels would help to strengthen Iran's defences, IRNA said.Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran is relying on a great defence industry and the powerful forces of Sepah (Revolutionary Guards) and the army, with their utmost strength, can provide security to the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman and Strait of Hormuz,Vahidi said.
He issued a stern warning to Iran's foes.The enemy must be careful of its adventurous behaviour and not play with fire because the Islamic Republic of Iran's response would be unpredictable, IRNA quoted him as saying.If enemies attack Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran's reaction will not be restricted to one area. The truth of our defence doctrine is that we will not attack any country and that we extend our hand to all legitimate countries.Iran's arch-foes, the United States and Israel, have not ruled out taking military action over Tehran's controversial nuclear programme.This is... something that is of concern to us and... concern to Iran's neighbours, State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters in Washington of Iran's latest military acquisitions.He said that while all nations had the right to self-defence, the United States take into account... systems that can potentially... threaten particular countries or peace and stability in the region.
Faced with the growth Iran's capabilities over a number of years, we've stepped up our military cooperation with other countries in the region,Crowley said.Iran has in the past threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, choking off some 40 percent of tanker-shipped oil worldwide, in the event of a military attack.IRNA said Zolfaqar was a new generation missile-launching vessel.It is designed for quick assaults on ships and is equipped with two missile launchers, two machine guns and a computer system to control the missiles, the report said.Fars news agency cited Vahidi as saying that Zolfaqar was to be equipped with the Nasr 1 (Victory) marine cruise missile which has high destructive power.Iran has previously said that the Nasr missile can destroy targets weighing up to 3,000 tonnes. IRNA said Seraj, designed for a tropical climate, was also a swift assault vessel for use in the Caspian sea, the Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, adding that it can also fire rockets. Seraj is a fast-moving assault rocket launcher using sophisticated and modern technology, Vahidi was cited as saying by IRNA. The launch of the production lines comes as Iran marks its annual government week, when it traditionally showcases its latest technological achievements. The naval commander of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, Ali Fadavi, was quoted by IRNA as saying that the missile-launching boats are the world's fastest. The Iranian-made missile-launching boats rank first in the world when it comes to their velocity, he said. Ahmadinejad on Sunday unveiled a bomber drone with a range of up to 1,000 kilometres (620 miles), which he dubbed the ambassador of death.State media said the drone, Karar (Assailant), can carry four stealth cruise missiles, two bombs of 250 pounds (115 kilos) each or a precision missile of 500 pounds (230 kilos). Tehran on Friday test-fired a surface-to-surface missile named Qiam (Rising), and more announcements are expected over the next few days, including the test-firing of a third-generation Fateh (Conqueror) 110 missile. Iran also recently took delivery of four domestically built Ghadir mini-submarines, stealth vessels designed to operate in shallow waters such as the Gulf.

ISAIAH 5:20-25
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Some 200 women gang-raped near Congo UN base By MICHELLE FAUL, Associated Press Writer – Mon Aug 23, 5:17 pm ET
JOHANNESBURG – Rwandan and Congolese rebels gang-raped nearly 200 women and some baby boys over four days within miles of a U.N. peacekeepers' base in an eastern Congo mining district, an American aid worker and a Congolese doctor said Monday.
Will F. Cragin of the International Medical Corps said aid and U.N. workers knew rebels had occupied Luvungi town and surrounding villages in eastern Congo the day after the attack began on July 30.More than three weeks later, the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Congo has issued no statement about the atrocities and said Monday it still is investigating.Cragin told The Associated Press by telephone that his organization was only able to get into the town, which he said is about 10 miles (16 kilometers) from a U.N. military camp, after rebels ended their brutal spree of raping and looting and withdrew of their own accord on Aug. 4.At U.N. headquarters in New York, spokesman Martin Nesirky said Monday that a U.N. Joint Human Rights team verified allegations of the rape of at least 154 women by combatants from the Rwandan rebel FDLR group and Congolese Mai-Mai rebels in the village of Bunangiri. He said the victims are receiving medical and psycho-social care.Nesirky said the U.N. peacekeeping mission has a military company operating base in Kibua, some 30 kilometers (about 19 miles) east of the village, but he said FDLR attackers blocked the road and prevented villagers from reaching the nearest communication point.Civil society leader Charles Masudi Kisa said there were only about 25 peacekeepers and that they did what they could against some 200 to 400 rebels who occupied the town of about 2,200 people and five nearby villages.When the peacekeepers approached a village, the rebels would run into the forest, but then the Blue Helmets had to move on to another area, and the rebels would just return, Masudi said.
There was no fighting and no deaths, Cragin said, just lots of pillaging and the systematic raping of women.Four young boys also were raped, said Dr. Kasimbo Charles Kacha, the district medical chief. Masudi said they were babies aged one month, six months, a year and 18 months.Many women said they were raped in their homes in front of their children and husbands, and many said they were raped repeatedly by three to six men,Cragin said. Others were dragged into the nearby forest.International and local health workers have treated 179 women but the number raped could be much higher as terrified civilians still are hiding, he said.We keep going back and identifying more and more cases, he said. Many of the women are returning from the forest naked, with no clothes.He said that by the time they got help it was too late to administer medication against AIDS and contraception to all but three of the survivors.Spokeswoman Stefania Trassari said her U.N. Organization for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid was monitoring the situation but that access for humanitarian workers remains very limited due to insecurity.Luvungi is a farming center on the main road between Goma, the eastern provincial capital, and the major mining town of Walikale.Kacha said on one day during the rebel occupation Indian peacekeepers had provided a military escort against the rebels to a large commercial truck traveling from Kemba to Luvungi, which is near a cassiterite mine and about 88 miles (140 kilometers) south of Goma.U.N. mission spokesman Madnodje Mounoubai promised to get military comment on the assumption that the peacekeepers were protecting commercial goods but not civilians, which is their primary mandate.
Survivors said their attackers were from the FDLR that includes perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide who fled across the border to Congo in 1994 and have been terrorizing the population in eastern Congo ever since, according to Cragin. The Rwandans were accompanied by Mai-Mai rebels, he said, quoting survivors. Masudi, the civil society leader, said the rebels arrived after Congolese army troops without explanation redeployed from Luvungi and its surroundings to Walikale. He said this happened after some soldiers deserted and joined rebels in the forest. Rape as a weapon of war has become shockingly commonplace in eastern Congo, where at least 8,300 rapes were reported last year, according to the United Nations. It is believed that many more rapes go unreported.Congo's army and U.N. peacekeepers have been unable to defeat the many rebel groups responsible for the long drawn-out conflict in eastern Congo, which is fueled by the area's massive mineral reserves. Gold, cassiterite and coltan are some of the minerals mined in the area near Luvungi, with soldiers and rebels competing for control of lucrative mines that give them little incentive to end the fighting. The minerals are our curse with the FDLR looting on one side and the soldiers looting on the other,said Masudi. The Congolese government this year has demanded the withdrawal of the $1.35 billion-a-year U.N. mission, the largest peacekeeping force in the world with more than 20,000 soldiers, saying it has failed in its primary mandate to protect civilians.Mission officials have said that the peacekeeping army is too small to police this sprawling nation the size of Western Europe, and that its peacekeepers are handicapped by rebels using civilians as shields and operating in rugged terrain where they are difficult to pursue.The mission also has a difficult mandate of supporting the Congolese army, whose troops often also are accused of raping and pillaging.Associated Press Writer Edith M. Lederer contributed to this report from the United Nations.

Ashton set to take new office in EU nerve centre-The view from the seventh floor of the Hague wing, Ms Ashton's potential new office, with the EU commission headquarters on the right and the Lex building on the far left (Photo: EUobserver)
ANDREW RETTMAN Today AUG 24,10 @ 14:21 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The EU is in talks to lease the so-called Triangle building in Brussels for its new diplomatic service, with Catherine Ashton's likely new digs to overlook the comings and goings in the EU Council and European Commission.The commission's talks with the building's owners, the financial services firm Axa, have dragged on for 18 months, but are now very close to the signature, a contact involved in the process said.The commission is expected to lease 50,000 square metres of the 60,000 square metre block for at least 15 years at a cost of around €10 million a year. Ms Ashton's European External Action Service (EEAS) will fill most of the space, with some room left for assorted commission departments. The EU institutions' careers office, Epso, has in a separate contract already leased a 10,000 square metre chunk from July.If the EEAS is to open up shop on 1 December as planned, Ms Ashton will have to move fast. Axa estimates it would take three to four months to kit out its shell into working offices, not counting special security arrangements for EEAS branches such as the SitCen intelligence-sharing bureau. Axa is to continue to run parts of the ground floor, installing sandwich shops and cafes. But the shops are to be accessible from the street side only and are even to have separate heating and electrical systems for tax and security reasons.Foreign ministers visiting the EU external relations chief would enter through a towering hallway that opens onto a leafy atrium full of mingling EU officials.The finest space and Ms Ashton's likely new office is on the seventh floor of the so-called Hague wing, overlooking the Schuman roundabout, which is also home to the EU Council and the commission, and which sees frequent protests by groups ranging from Belgian old age pensioners to Iranian pro-democracy activists. Another option is the seventh floor of the Luxembourg wing, with views on the Parc du Cinquantenaire.
This side is much more beautiful. But the other side is better if she likes to oversee where everyone is going, Axa spokeswoman, Sabine Van Depoele, told EUobserver on a recent tour of the building.It's important for [Ms Ashton] to have her own premises, so that if she calls a meeting everybody is close to hand, but also to make the right impression when visitors come, an EU official said. The baroness is currently squashed into a corridor on the 12th floor of the commission headquarters. Unlike the commission president, Jose Manuel Barroso, the EU foreign relations chief will not have a rooftop helicopter pad (unless she rips up Axa's solar panels) or an underground tunnel to get to her parking spot. If she needs to come and go without Chinese and Russian spies seeing, there is an option - a bricked-up pedestrian tunnel running under Avenue De Cortenbergh to the European Commission building, dating back from when the Triangle site was used by commission translators. It could be opened up. Why not? Axa real estate manager, Bruno Detollenaere, said.The Triangle building was constructed with an EU clientele in mind. It conforms with the commission's health and safety code. It has the latest green credentials and its six wings are each named after the capital city of one of the union's six founding countries.
The final plan is a far cry from Axa's original concept, however.The firm up until one year ago was planning to split the property between the commission, national embassies and private companies. The Dutch and Finnish EU embassies and lobbyist firm Hill and Knowlton got into talks before pulling out after the commission made it clear it did not want to share.The EU Council's new Lex building and the Charlemagne building, the current home of the commission's foreign relations department, fondly called the Death Star by some EU officials due to its physical resemblance to an evil weapon in the Star Wars films, have also been considered for the EEAS' new home.Both are located a stone's throw from the Triangle building on the Rue de la Loi. But EU officials' trade unions said the EU Council translators who recently moved into the Lex block are unwilling to budge, while the Death Star is a bit too small. There is no real alternative [to the Triangle], another EU official said.No decision has yet been taken on where the EEAS will be situated since we are still creating the service and it is a work in progress. It is correct that we will need additional office space since the EEAS is a bigger body than the current external relations directorate of the European Commission, Ms Ashton's spokesman, Darren Ennis, added.I can categorically tell you that we will not be purchasing a new building. Regarding the additional office space we are currently looking at some options, notably current EU buildings (already leased or being used) and vacant space.
Germany and France lead way in two-speed recovery
MATEJ HRUSKA Today AUG 24,10 @ 09:27 CET
The economic recovery of the eurozone slightly lost its momentum in August, with most of the growth dependent on the performance of Germany and France, a purchasing managers' index survey published on Monday (23 August) showed.According to the preliminary figures from Markit, a UK-based research firm, the eurozone composite output index, which measures activity across the private sector, including the manufacturing and services sectors, fell to a two-month low of 56.1 in August, down from 56.7 in July.While the outcome of the whole single currency bloc is solid, Markit wrote in a press release, there are worrying divergences between national economies, as growth is largely dependent on Germany and France.Growth in the rest of the euro area slowed to near stagnation, and services even contracted again as austerity measures bite, Chris Williamson, the company's chief economist said.There is little evidence to suggest that buoyant business conditions from France and Germany are spilling over to the benefit of the periphery, he added, noting that this could spell further divergence in the euro area's two-speed recovery.The German composite purchasing managers' index, which rose to 59.3 in August, up from 59 in July, was boosted by an acceleration in the services sector. The services activity index rose to its 36- month maximum at 58.5, up from 56,5 in July. The manufacturing index reached its two-month low at 60.9 in August, compared with 63.6 in July,
France's composite index fell to 59 from 59.7 in July, but Markit said a recovery is still on the way.
Although the headline composite activity index fell to its lowest level since March, stronger rises in both new business and backlogs offer reassurance that the recovery in France remains robust, Markit economist Jack Kennedy was quoted as saying.Flash estimates from the EU statistic office Eurostat, published on 13 August, confirmed Germany as a leader of Europe's economic recovery with a GDP growth rate of 2.2 percent in the second quarter of 2010, the best German result since re-unification in 1990.France's GDP increased by 0.6 percent, while Spain, Italy and Portugal each reported increases of less than 0.5 percent. The EU's overall growth was 1.7 percent.
Reykjavik: ECB must prop up krona until Iceland joins euro
LEIGH PHILLIPS Today AUG 24,10 @ 09:24 CET
The Icelandic foreign minister has said that the European Central Bank must prop up the krona, the country's bedevilled currency, once the island joins the European Union and until it adopts the euro.Ossur Skarphedinsson made the comments on Sunday to Visir, a local tabloid newspaper, saying that during the ongoing accession talks with Brussels, he was underlining this point with European negotiators.He told the paper of the need to reach a conclusion about the manner in which the European Union and Europe Central Bank could improve the Icelandic foreign exchange market. It would immediately begin to improve the situation here at home and prepare for introduction of the euro.He added however that negotiations will almost certainly take longer than anticipated so that the 18-month time frame some had hoped for will probably be exceeded.Mr Skarphedinsson said the two trickiest issues are proving to be fisheries, as expected, and agriculture.Talks on both subjects should begin by next Easter, he said, and conclude by autumn 2011.I am now optimist as you know, but I think these will not go so quickly, said Mr Skarphedinsson. And I think this means that talks will be longer and harder than many expected.
Discussions got off to a rocky start when Brussels warned it could block access for Icelandic and Faroe Islands fishermen to EU waters if they do not back down on plans to boost their mackerel catch just weeks after talks began.Seas warmer than usual this year have seen a migration of mackerel out of EU waters to cooler more northerly territories fished by Icelanders and Denmark's Faeroese, who have both upped their mackerel catch allowances in response, angering Brussels.UK papers in recent days have warned that Britain and the EU are on the verge of a mackerel war with the small north Atlantic nation.

Energy commissioner sides with Merkel on nuclear tax
VALENTINA POP 23.08.2010 @ 09:33 CET
EU energy commissioner Guenther Oettinger over the weekend sided with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in what has become a heated debate over taxing energy companies which profit from extending the life of nuclear plants.To the outrage of big energy companies, Ms Merkel wants to tax nuclear power plant operators in exchange for an extension of the plants' lifetimes, which under current legislation is to end in 2020.Mr Oettinger, himself a German politician from Ms Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU), said he supported the idea. It's quite normal for nuclear groups to protest at the idea of a tax, but they should give the authorities a large part of the sizeable profits accruing from the (extended) operation of nuclear plants, he said in an interview with the Sueddeutsche Zeitung on Saturday, just as several big German companies signed a joint protest letter against the tax.
I consider that at least 50 percent would be appropriate, Mr Oettinger added. His endorsement comes a month after Ms Merkel reportedly vented her anger at him after he missed an important meeting within the EU commission where Brussels decided to end coal-mine subsidies earlier than had been expected, taking Germany and others by surprise.The proposed nuclear tax could generate €2.3 billion a year, a much needed source of revenue for the German budget, as the government in June signed up to €80 billion worth of cuts over the next three years.But Ms Merkel's plan to tax the energy giants has angered her supporters in the big-business circles. In the joint letter, heads of energy giants E.oN, RWE, Vattenfall, along with other big companies such as Bayer, Metro and Deutsche Bank argued that the levy would block important future investments.A lot is at stake: Securing our livelihood for tomorrow and Germany's future as a place of business. That concerns us all, said the letter, published as a full-page advertisement in major German newspapers and magazines over the weekend.Traditionally CDU backers, the signatories referred to the letter as a warning shot for the government, Sueddeutsche reports. They also warned against a precipitate exit from nuclear power, as it would destroy billions of euros of investment. The center-right government pledged in 2009 to reverse the phasing out of nuclear energy agreed by the previous Green-Social Democratic coalition – a move initially welcomed by big business, until the tax idea came along.
In her weekly address on Saturday, Ms Merkel argued that keeping nuclear plants going for a longer period should foster the transition to an age of renewable energy as quickly as possible.Her spokesman played down the importance of the public protest letter, by saying it was a completely legitimate contribution to the discussion and that the chancellor had no objection to that.Meanwhile, finding a majority for extending the lifespan of energy plants may prove difficult, as Ms Merkel's political support is waning even within her own party, Financial Times Deutschland writes. In addition, legal constrictions limit the extension to a maximum of 10 years.

NKorea deploying troops, weapons near Pyongyang By HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press Writer - AUG 24,10
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea is deploying troops, artillery and tanks near Pyongyang in apparent preparation for a massive military parade marking key national events later this year, South Korea said Tuesday.The military buildup near the capital began in mid-July amid high tensions on the peninsula, South Korea's Defense Ministry said in a report submitted to a parliamentary committee.Preparation for a massive national event is under way in North Korea and the move is presumably related to a key Workers' Party meeting in September and the 65th anniversary of the party's founding in October, it said.North Korea would likely use the military assets to stage a parade in Pyongyang, a ministry official said on condition of anonymity citing department policy.North Korea often marks important national holidays with military parades, often featuring newly developed missiles and weapons.
North Korea said in June that it would elect new ruling Workers' Party leaders in a party conference in early September, sparking speculation that the move is aimed at boosting a government campaign to hand over power from leader Kim Jong Il to a son.
It's widely believed that Kim is preparing to transfer power to his third and youngest son, Kim Jong Un, and many North Korea watchers say next month's party meeting is aimed at giving the son a key party job.Speculation on the succession intensified after the 68-year-old Kim suffered a reported stroke in 2008, with Kim's apparently falling health prompting concerns about instability and a possible power struggle in the nuclear-armed country if he were to die without anointing a successor.The North's ties with South Korea were plunged to their lowest point in years when a Seoul-led international investigation in May blamed Pyongyang torpedoing in March the South Korean warship Cheonan, killing 46 sailors. North Korea denies involvement, and has issued a series of threats to South Korea over military drills between South Korea and the United States.The army and people of the (North) will never tolerate any reckless moves of the U.S. imperialists and the South Korean puppet group of traitors to provoke a nuclear war but (will) launch a sacred retaliatory war ... based on nuclear deterrent any time they deem necessary, North Korea's No. 2 leader Kim Yong Nam said Tuesday, North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency reported.
A similar threat was issued last month by the North's powerful National Defense Commission.The North routinely threatens attacks whenever South Korea and the U.S. hold joint military drills, which Pyongyang sees as a rehearsal for an invasion. The U.S. says it has no intention of invading the North.South Korea and the U.S. are currently holding annual computerized military drills. They also conducted large-scale joint naval exercises last month and plan to hold more maneuvers in the Yellow Sea early next month.The two Koreas officially remain at war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.China's top nuclear envoy is to visit Seoul later this week to discuss North Korea's nuclear weapons program and his recent trip to Pyongyang, according to South Korea's Foreign Ministry.Wu Dawei met senior North Korean officials last week in Pyongyang and discussed the resumption of six-nation talks on ending the North's nuclear program. Pyongyang's state media reported that Wu and North Korean officials reached a full consensus of views on all the matters discussed but didn't provide details.North Korea walked away from the nuclear disarmament talks last year in protest at an international condemnation of a long-range rocket launch. Prospects for restarting the talks were put into doubt after the warship sinking.Former President Jimmy Carter, meanwhile, plans to leave for North Korea on Tuesday to try to gain the freedom of an American imprisoned for illegally entering the communist country, U.S. officials said. Aijalon Mahli Gomes was arrested in January before later being sentenced to eight years in prison and fined $700,000. North Korea agreed to release Gomes if Carter were to come to bring him home, a senior U.S. official told The Associated Press. The official and a second who confirmed the trip spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.Associated Press writer Matthew Lee contributed to this report from Washington.

Loony Left's flotilla way off course
By MINDELLE JACOBS, QMI Agency TORONTO SUN
Once again, the loony Left is jumping at the chance to demonize Israel, this time with a ridiculous plan to organize a Canadian flotilla to try to break Israel’s blockade of terrorist-run Gaza.Where were these assorted peaceniks and naive social activists over the years as thousands of rockets were fired into Israel by Hamas and Hezbollah thugs? Where was the comfort for the families of all the Israelis killed, injured or maimed for life by neighbouring genocidal cheerleaders? How many peaceniks made common cause with the truly vulnerable by hunkering down with Israelis in bomb shelters to experience what it’s like to be under constant attack?
The incredible irony of the Turkish ship that tried to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza earlier this year is that the people in Gaza aren’t starving. They’re ruled by terrorists but they don’t have to eat tree bark and weeds to stay alive.Not like, say, the North Koreans, many of whom are literally starving to death. Theoretically, at least, the people in Gaza can vote Hamas out if they want to lead more normal lives. Not so with the poor North Koreans, who have been stuck with a dysfunctional dynasty of lunatic dictators, the latest being eternal president Kim Jong-il.Where’s the flotilla to save the oppressed North Koreans? Why isn’t the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, which is so gung-ho about a Canadian boat heading to Gaza, organizing a campaign to send food to North Korea? One wonders, too, when we’ll see a protester-packed flotilla on its way to Darfur to demonstrate against the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of tribal minorities by bloodthirsty militias backed by the racist Sudanese government. I await the cries of dismay from the loony Left over the terrible violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where untold thousands of women have been raped.
So worried are the peaceniks about the fate of Gazans that they apparently haven’t given a thought to the terrible persecution of the Kurds by Turkey over the years. A Turkish ship bound for Gaza to help the poor Palestinians was a cause celebre. But, for years, there has been a curious silence about how badly Turkey has treated its minority Kurds.Tens of thousands of Kurds have been killed and hundreds of thousands illegally displaced over the years as Turkey fought to repress the Kurds. Many other Kurdish activists simply disappeared without a trace.The criminalization of opinion remains a key obstacle to the protection of human rights in Turkey,Human Rights Watch observed in its 2010 world report.Der Spiegel recently published a story saying German experts believe Turkish forces used banned chemical weapons in the killing of eight Kurdish rebels in 2009. Why is there no outrage from peace activists about this? When will the Canadian Union of Postal Workers be organizing a
letter-writing campaign to Turkey’s leaders to demand an explanation?
Lastly, why has the loony Left expressed no concern about how badly the Palestinians are treated in Lebanon, where they have largely been kept in refugee camps for 60 years and denied good jobs? The Palestinians there can’t expand existing camps or build new ones. Where’s the flotilla for them? There’s no flotilla because it’s a very hypocritical world, notes Aurel Braun, an international relations prof at the University of Toronto. The (Gaza) flotillas are not about food. They’re not about supplies. They’re about delegitimizing Israel.What else can we expect? It’s the loony Left.mindy.jacobs@sunmedia.ca
Pre-Crime Technology To Be Used In Washington D.C.Computers predict what crime will be committed where, by who and when Steve Watson Infowars.net
Tuesday, Aug 24th, 2010
http://www.prisonplanet.com/pre-crime-technology-to-be-used-in-washington-d-c.html
Law enforcement agencies in Washington D.C. have begun to use technology that they say can predict when crimes will be committed and who will commit them, before they actually happen.The Minority Report like pre-crime software has been developed by Richard Berk, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.Previous incarnations of the software, already being used in Baltimore and Philadelphia were limited to predictions of murders by and among parolees and offenders on probation.According to a report by ABC News, however, the latest version, to be implemented in Washington D.C., can predict other future crimes as well.When a person goes on probation or parole they are supervised by an officer. The question that officer has to answer is what level of supervision do you provide? Berk told ABC News, intimating that the program could have a bearing on the length of sentences and/or bail amounts.The technology sifts through a database of thousands of crimes and uses algorithms and different variables, such as geographical location, criminal records and ages of previous offenders, to come up with predictions of where, when, and how a crime could possibly be committed and by who.The program operates without any direct evidence that a crime will be committed, it simply takes datasets and computes possibilities.
People assume that if someone murdered then they will murder in the future, Berk also states, But what really matters is what that person did as a young individual. If they committed armed robbery at age 14 that’s a good predictor. If they committed the same crime at age 30, that doesn’t predict very much.Critics have urged that the program encourages categorizing individuals on a risk scale via computer mathematics, rather than on real life, and that monitoring those people based on such a premise is antithetic to a justice system founded on the premise of the presumption of innocence.
Other police departments and law agencies across the country have begun to look into and use similar predictive technologies. The Memphis Police Department, for example uses a program called Operation Blue CRUSH, which uses predictive analytics developed by IBM.Other forms of pre-crime technology in use or under development include surveillance cameras that can predict when a crime is about to occur and alert police, and even neurological brain scanners that can read people’s intentions before they act, thus detecting whether or not a person has hostile intent.It is not too far fetched to imagine all these forms of the technology being used together in the future by law enforcement bodies.The British government has previously debated introducing pre-crime laws in the name of fighting terrorism. The idea was that suspects would be put on trial using MI5 or MI6 intelligence of an expected terror attack. This would be enough to convict if found to be true on the balance of probabilities, rather than beyond reasonable doubt.The government even has plans to collect lifelong records on all residents starting at the age of five, in order to screen for those who might be more likely to commit crimes in the future.Another disturbing possibility for such technology comes in the form of a financial alliance of sorts between Internet search engine giant Google and the investment arm of the CIA and the wider U.S. intelligence network.
Google and In-Q-Tel have recently injected a sum of up to $10 million each into a company called Recorded Future, which uses analytics to scour Twitter accounts, blogs and websites for all sorts of information, which is used to assemble actual real-time dossiers on people.The company describes its analytics as the ultimate tool for open-source intelligence and says it can also predict the future.Recorded Future takes in vast amounts of personal information such as employment changes, personal education and family relations. Promotional material also shows categories covering pretty much everything else, including entertainment, music and movie releases, as well as other innocuous things like patent filings and product recalls.
Those detached from any kind of moral reality will say If you’ve got nothing to hide then what is the problem with being scanned for pre-crime? If it keeps us all safe from murderers, rapists and terrorists I’m all for it.How far towards a literal technological big brother police state will we slip before people wake up to the fact?

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Will the High Court Order Destruction of Mosques?
by Elad Benari AUG 24,10
Two mosques in Judea and Samaria may soon be ordered to be torn down by Israel’s High Court. Ironically enough, this decision may actually come about as a result of many appeals by a left-wing organization dedicated to assisting Arabs.The Yesh Din organization was established in March of 2005 and is comprised of volunteers who, as its website states, have organized to oppose the continuing violation of Palestinian human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The organization’s mission, as stated on its website, is to achieve a long-term structural improvement in the human rights situation in the OPT.Yesh Din is run by volunteers yet also receives guidance from a team of lawyers, human rights experts and media consultants. Among its board members are former MK Shulamit Aloni, former Tel Aviv Mayor Shlomo Lahat, and former Deputy Attorney General Yehudit Karp.One year ago, Yesh Din appealed to Israel’s High Court on behalf of two Arabs who opposed the building of a synagogue in Ma’ale Shomron. The same day the appeal was filed, the court issued an interim order which prevented the construction of the synagogue. The residents of Ma’ale Shomron, however, were unaware of the court order and continued to build the synagogue, only finding out about it after a Torah scroll had already been dedicated and the synagogue had begun to be regularly used. The residents honored the court decree and ceased all construction on the synagogue.
Despite the fact that the residents honored the court order once they became aware of it, Yesh Din pressured the State Attorney’s Office into deciding that the court order was violated and as such the synagogue must be sealed off within 60 days. Attorney Doron Nir-Tzvi, who represents the residents, argued on the other hand that no proof was brought forward showing that the court order was indeed violated, and that no such proof could exist, as the court order was not directed at the residents who were not a side in the appeal. Nir-Tzvi explained that the neighborhood is 10 years old and is located on state-owned land. The synagogue, said Nir-Tzvi, was built in an area designated for public buildings. About a month ago, a Supreme Court Judge ordered the state to hold back any tearing down or sealing off of the synagogue.Meanwhile, the Regavim advocacy group has presented a counter-appeal to Yesh Din’s appeal, in which it requests that two mosques that have been illegally built on state-owned land and with no permit, be destroyed. One of the mosques is located in an Arab village north of Beit El, and the second one is located near Yitzhar.According to Attorney Amir Fisher who represents Regavim, the two mosques were built adjacent to housing units in Jewish neighborhoods, making them both illegal as well as a threat to residents’ security. The appeal requests that the Supreme Court instruct the State of Israel to explain why the mosques should not be destroyed.The Civil Administration ordered two months ago the destruction of the mosque near Beit El, yet the mosque has not been destroyed. Fisher said that the destruction of the mosque, as he was told in response to his appeal, is in the hands of the decision makers according to the priorities determined by them periodically.
He added that under the same priorities, the Civil Administration has refrained from destroying 30,000 Arab buildings which have been built without permits. He believes that citing priorities as the determining factor of when the mosque will be destroyed, means that there is no intention of ever destroying it. The Civil Administration's response indicates contempt towards the petitioners and a complete and unreasonable disregard for their claims of the danger hovering over the residents of the community of Beit El, when construction of the mosque is complete and it is populated,said Fisher.How can one presume to enforce the law equally in the Judea and Samaria, when the Administration inspectors do not enforce the law against huge public buildings, which have been established next to Jewish villages in a location which endangers residents? asked Fisher, and added that the Palestinian Authority’s plan to take over Israeli lands in Judea and Samaria is well-known, and has been publicly stated in the media by its Prime Minister Salam Fayad. Part of this plan, explained Fisher, is to establish large public buildings throughout Judea and Samaria, and to later use the buildings in future territorial arguments between Israel and the PA. The desire of the PA, explained Fisher, is to determine such arguments in a one-sided manner and present Israel with grounded facts.(IsraelNationalNews.com)
Mideast talks will fail: Iran
Tue Aug 24, 4:20 am ET
TEHRAN (AFP) – Direct peace talks between Israel and Palestinians will fail as long as the root of the problem remained, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said on Tuesday.We don't think (peace) talks are going to yield any results, Mehmanparast told reporters at his weekly press conference.The root of the Palestinian problem should be cured. We cannot see a solution to the Palestinian issue when the Palestinians have been driven out to other countries, while occupiers and invaders have come from other countries (to Palestinian territories), Mehmanparast said.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas have accepted a US invitation to relaunch direct peace negotiations in Washington on September 2 following a 20-month hiatus.The Palestinians insist talks should lead to the creation of an independent state, and sought an Israeli freeze on settlement activity for the talks to resume.Netanyahu has made it clear there should be no preconditions for the talks.The Islamic Republic of Iran does not recognise Israel and relations between the two have deteriorated under the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has infuriated Western countries by claiming that the Holocaust was a myth.Israel, believed to be the sole nuclear weapons holder in the Middle East, has never ruled out a military strike against Tehran to stop its controversial atomic programme.
Supporters: Church ignored in NYC mosque furor By DEEPTI HAJELA, Associated Press Writer - AUG 24,10
NEW YORK – Supporters of a Greek Orthodox church destroyed on Sept. 11 say officials willing to speak out about a planned community center and mosque near ground zero have been silent on efforts to get the church rebuilt.But the World Trade Center site's owner says a deal to help rebuild St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church was offered and rejected, after years of negotiations, over money and other issues.
Though the projects are not related, supporters — including George Pataki, New York's governor at the time of the Sept. 11 attacks — have questioned why public officials have not addressed St. Nicholas' future while they lead a debate on whether and where the Islamic cultural center should be built.What about us? Why have they forgotten or abandoned their commitment to us? asked Father Alex Karloutsos, assistant to the archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. When I see them raising issues about the mosque and not thinking about the church that was destroyed, it does bother us.In an effort to deal with the furor over the planned location of the Islamic center, Gov. David Paterson has suggested that state land farther away from ground zero be used. He was scheduled to meet with New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan on Tuesday to discuss the Park51 project, which is planned for two blocks north of the 16-acre World Trade Center site.Rather than focus his attention on the mosque, Gov. Paterson should step in right away to ensure that the state of New York and the Port Authority uphold the agreement with the Greek Orthodox church so this project can go forward without further delay, state Sen. Dean Skelos said Monday.
Paterson declined to comment on the issue.
The 300-member congregation lost its 90-year-old parish just south of the World Trade Center when the twin towers collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001, leaving only a handful of artifacts that were removed from the rubble, including a small bell and cross, a crucifix and wax candles that had not melted.Leaders of the church and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey — the agency that owns ground zero — have spent years negotiating a deal that would let the church rebuild on land a bit farther south than the 1,200-square-foot lot it sat on, in exchange for financial help to rebuild it.The agency said the church stopped negotiating after rejecting an offer in 2008 of $20 million in financing, plus up to an additional $40 million to cover costs related to the construction of a parking lot underneath the church.Port Authority officials said the church wanted final approval on the design of the parking lot and the potential for an additional $20 million in public money. The agency said it made a final offer in 2009 that was rejected.St. Nicholas Church continues to retain the right to build on its original location, the agency said in a statement Monday. It said work could begin in 2013 if the church helped finance it.
Karloutsos, the archbishop's assistant, denied that any offer had been rejected, instead saying that Port Authority pulled the deal and has since ignored the church's attempts at dialogue. This is about the Port Authority reneging on a promise, he said.Pataki, who as governor promised that St. Nicholas would be rebuilt after the 2001 attacks, said Monday that the Port Authority needed to reach out to church officials.It's just wrong that the rebuilding of St. Nicholas Church, which was there, which was part of the master plan ... has basically been ignored, he said.
George Demos, a Long Island Republican congressional candidate seeking to unseat Rep. Tim Bishop, said he wrote President Barack Obama a letter lobbying for the church.All of our political leadership seems intent on assisting the mosque, at the same time they have taken no steps to make sure St. Nicholas is rebuilt,he said.Both Demos and Pataki are opposed to building an Islamic center and mosque at a building two blocks north of the World Trade Center site. The uproar over the proposed $100 million center has become a national campaign issue and led hundreds to rally in front of ground zero over the weekend. Critics of the project say it's an affront to the memories of the more than 2,700 people killed at ground zero on Sept. 11 to locate the center so close to the site. Proponents say accepting the center respects religious freedom and tolerance.
Mideast passions quiet over NY mosque showdown By BRIAN MURPHY, Associated Press Writer – Mon Aug 23, 5:48 pm ET
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – On the streets of lower Manhattan, there's no mistaking how the passions flow: One side saying its their patriotic duty to block a planned Islamic center and the other insisting America cannot curtail freedoms as revenge for the Sept. 11 attacks.But in the Middle East — where the imam spearheading the plans is now touring on a U.S.-funded outreach mission — the proposed mosque and community center near the former World Trade Center towers is viewed in less stark tones.Much of it circles back to what the showdown says about Islam's identity in the West, theories about the roots of Islamophobia or even whether the plans in New York are worth the fight.Mideast commentators argue that many in the region view the clash as a wholly American spectacle — about political posturing and the lingering wounds of 9/11 — that distracts from genuine troubles such as Iran's growing clout or Israel's pressure on Gaza.The mosque is not an issue for Muslims and they don't care about it being built, wrote Saudi columnist Abdel Rahman Rashed in the pan-Arab Asharq al-Awsat newspaper.Some Muslims would even consider building a mosque there would be a permanent reminder of the acts of terrorists, who carried out their crime in the name of Islam, he added.Despite the power of the 9/11 memories, other Muslim struggles in the West have brought far greater public outcry in the Middle East — such as Switzerland's ban on new minaret construction and the growing European moves to outlaw burqas and other Islamic coverings.
There is indifference, complained Sheik Fawzi el-Zefzaf, a member of Egypt's Islamic Scholars Association. The Arab and Muslim worlds should be supporting the imam, he said, referring to Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, whose Cordoba Initiative is behind plans for the $100 million, 13-story project about two blocks from where the Twin Towers once stood.Rauf plans to travel Tuesday to Qatar — home of the influential Al-Jazeera television network — as part of a State Department-funded trip that began last week in Bahrain. Rauf has avoided any extensive comments of the New York project. Instead, he has stuck closely to less-volatile subjects such as battling extremism and Islam's compatibility with the U.S. Constitution and other Western values of freedom and open debate.In an interview with Bahrain's Al Wasat newspaper published Monday, Rauf said he was trying to reach out to Islamic scholars to urge Muslims worldwide to become more effective members of their communities and have complete nationalism — apparently meaning integration with local laws and standards.
He stressed that Muslims can remain faithful as well as actively engaged in the affairs of the countries where they live.I see that every religious community faces challenges, but the real challenge lies in keeping true to the core values of the faith and how to express these values in a specific time and place,the imam was quoted as saying.But Rauf's refusal to publicly answer questions about the New York mosque on his 15-day Mideast trip stands in stark counterpoint to the scenes Sunday near Ground Zero.Hundreds of demonstrators squared off — sometimes in nose-to-nose confrontations. No mosque, no way, some chanted. Others replied with cries: We say no to racist fear! Rauf's wife, Daisy Khan, said the rage against the project is like a metastasized anti-Semitism.Fear is back, with a vengeance, wrote James Zogby, president of the Arab American Institute in a commentary published in The National, which is supported by Abu Dhabi's government.It rules the street and we have every right to be concerned. What is needed now is are strong voices appealing to our better selves.Others in the Mideast media and Web chat rooms have chewed over whether President Barack Obama — and the Democrats by extension — will pay a political price for his stance that Muslims have the right to build the center at the site. Obama, however, has not commented on whether he thinks the plan should move forward.Obama's election was widely welcomed across the Middle East, but his popularity has suffered over perceptions he has failed to take a harder line with Israel and expanded the war in Afghanistan. Lebanese political affairs analyst, Salim Nasser, wrote in the pan-Arab daily Al Hayat that the firestorm over the mosque plans is a political bomb that will end up wounding Obama and his party.
Two professors at Al-Azhar, Sunni Islam's leading scholarly institution, stated in a widely read editorial in the Egyptian daily Al-Masry Al-Youm, that the real damage has been to the international perception of Islam since the New York battles can only end up reinforcing the memory of 9/11. From Kuwait, Egyptian publisher Ahmed el-Adly said Muslims' image in the West has been ravaged time and again after 9/11 and other jihad-inspired attacks in London, Madrid and elsewhere. He wondered if the New York mosque proposal is the right goal at the right time. No need to rock the boat, he said.Associated Press writers Sarah El Deeb in Cairo and Bassem Mroue in Beirut contributed to this report.(This version CORRECTS that el-Adly's comments were made in an interview).)

US mindful of Palestinian stand on settlements
Mon Aug 23, 4:23 pm ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States said Monday it is mindful of the Palestinian call for Israel to halt settlements, but stopped short of saying it will back such a demand at new peace talks here next month.In the West Bank town of Ramallah, Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erakat warned earlier in the day that Israel must chose between settlements or peace when direct negotiations resume in Washington.In the first direct talks between the two sides in 20 months, Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet in Washington on September 2 with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.The issue of settlements, the issue of the moratorium... has been a topic of discussion and will be a topic of discussion when the leaders meet with Secretary Clinton on September 2, State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said.When she announced Friday the resumption of the peace talks, Clinton said the negotiations will take place without conditions, or without Israel having to heed the Palestinian call to halt settlements.In a letter to the European Union, Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas expressed fears about the impact on peace talks if Israel resumes settlements, particularly in East Jerusalem, which is not part of an Israeli moratorium.It also remains to be seen whether Israel will renew a 10-month moratorium on settlement construction in the West Bank that it imposed in November last year.
If Mr Netanyahu decides to renew settlement tenders come September 26, he will have decided to stop negotiations, Erakat warned.Crowley added: We are very mindful of the Palestinian position.As negotiations resume, Crowley said, we expect that both parties will do everything within their power to create... an environment for those negotiations to continue constructively.The Palestinians want east Jerusalem as the capital of a future state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Israel claims all of Jerusalem as its capital.
Abbas warns Ashton of threat to peace talks
LEIGH PHILLIPS AND ANDREW RETTMAN 23.08.2010 @ 09:41 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has warned in a letter to EU high representative Catherine Ashton that an end to Israel's partial settlement freeze would bring an immediate halt to direct peace talks, announced on Friday (19 August).It's impossible to conduct negotiations alongside settlement construction, he wrote in a letter to the EU's foreign policy chief, US President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, the Israeli daily, Haaretz, reports.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last November announced a partial 10-month moratorium on new construction of settlements in the occupied West Bank. The move, attacked by Ramallah as disingenuous, as it excluded public buildings and construction in East Jerusalem, ends on 26 September.Mr Netanyahu for his part told ministers of his right-wing Likud party on Sunday that the end-date to the partial freeze will be adhered to, giving the freshly announced direct peace talks, which are due to begin 2 September, a very brief window to achieve results unless there is pressure from the US, EU and other members of the quartet to convince Israel to extend the moratorium.The Israeli leader said he believed that if Ramallah is a real partner, then peace could be achieved.If we find we have a real partner on the Palestinian side, an honest and earnest partner in negotiations that will need both sides to make the necessary steps - not just the Israeli side but also the Palestinian side - if we find we have a partner like that, we can soon reach a historic peace agreement between the two peoples.He set out three elements of a final agreement: realistic security arrangements, recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and an end to the conflict. He also underscored that such security arrangements would involve disarming the Palestinian side, while Israel remained free to maintain its military.
Ms Ashton welcomed the move by both sides to launch direct talks. Since taking office, the high representative has focussed much of her energies on resolving the Middle East conflict.This decision by the parties to engage in substantive talks represents a major step on the road towards a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the region, something I am hopeful we can now achieve, she said in a statement. We all want to see a two-state solution with the State of Israel and an independent, democratic, contiguous and viable State of Palestine, living side by side in peace and security with each other and their neighbours.Hamas, the governors of the Gaza Strip and excluded from the talks, have called the negotiations a waste of time, however.Hamas is not against the principle of negotiation. But is Israel really interested in making these talks successful? Ghazi Hamad, the group's spokesman, told EUobserver. We need Israel to say from the outset: We are an occupying force; all 1967 borders are not part of Israel and we are ready to give up, to withdraw from these territories.Mr Hamad said that Israel will use the talks to consolidate its hold over East Jerusalem.But Israel will say: Jerusalem is our capital. Jericho is part of Israel. We have to keep a security zone in the West Bank. We have to keep building the wall and to keep our border checkpoints.This means they are wasting time.
The EU and the Quartet want to impose some conditions on Hamas, like recognition of Israel and renunciation of violent resistance [as a pre-condition to including it in the talks]. It's not fair - when they ask Hamas to recognise Israel but do not ask Israel to recognise the Palestinian state. How can victims be asked to give recognition to the thief? How? The militant Islamist Hamas was joined in its scepticism by anti-corruption campaigner and critic of the Palestinian Authority Mustafa Barghouti.In a statement last week he criticised the new talks for not containing clear terms of reference, a timetable, a binding mechanism for implementation, an active role from the international community, American or other international guarantees, and a firm Israeli commitment to international law and UN resolutions.Mr Barghouti, a popular democracy activist that rejects both autocracy and corruption of the governing Fatah party, nor the fundamentalism of Hamas warned that the talks' terms of reference should have be based on international law and UN resolutions.He said he feared the talks would result in an even larger failure than that of the Camp David negotiations, 17 years ago.
Blair: Serious ideas needed for Mideast success
AUG 24,10
HERZLIYA, Israel – Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has called on Israelis and Palestinians to bring serious proposals to a new round of peace talks set to start on Sept. 2.Speaking at an Israeli academic conference on Tuesday, Blair said the sides' proposals for how to solve the decades-old conflict's thorniest issues will be a litmus test of seriousness.Blair has been assisting the U.S.-led effort to restart peace talks as the special representative of the Quartet of Mideast peacemakers — the U.S., the U.N., the European Union and Russia.Since the new talks were announced last week, both sides have been laying out their starting positions, with Israel demanding security guarantees and the Palestinians rejecting any growth in Israel's West Bank settlements.

UN nuke watchdog chief presses Israeli ministers By MATTI FRIEDMAN, Associated Press Writer - AUG 24,10
JERUSALEM – The U.N.'s atomic watchdog chief held talks with Israeli officials Tuesday in what was expected to be an effort to push the country to open its secretive nuclear program to international scrutiny.Yukiya Amano's low-profile visit to Israel comes ahead of the International Atomic Energy Agency's September board meeting and general conference. Israel will likely be a central topic at the meeting, at which Arab countries are expected to continue a recent push for more scrutiny of Israel's nuclear capabilities.Israel refuses to confirm it possesses a nuclear arsenal, following a long-standing policy it terms nuclear ambiguity. But it is widely considered to be the Mideast's only nuclear power.During the two-day visit, Amano was set to hold talks with Cabinet ministers in charge of atomic energy and strategic affairs, as well as with President Shimon Peres, Israeli officials said.
He was not slated to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The officials said talks were expected to focus on the desire by the U.N.'s Vienna-based watchdog, the IAEA, to see Israel join the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Amano's schedule was not officially announced.Earlier this year, The Associated Press learned that Amano had sent a letter soliciting proposals from the agency's 151 member states on how to persuade Israel to sign the nonproliferation treaty.The latest pressure has put the Jewish state in an uncomfortable position. It wants the international community to take stern action to prevent Iran from getting atomic weapons but at the same time brushes off calls to come clean about its own nuclear capabilities.In Vienna, IAEA spokesman Ayhan Evrensel said Tuesday only that Amano would exchange views on issues of mutual interest while in Israel.Amano replaced the IAEA's former chief, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, in December.
Kuwait concerned over Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant
Tue Aug 24, 6:11 am ET
KUWAIT CITY (AFP) – Kuwait has expressed safety concerns over Iran's new nuclear reactor on the opposite side of the Gulf, fearing fallout from possible leaks, the official news agency KUNA reported.Kuwait's concern is based on fears of any leaks due to natural causes that may have future consequences, foreign ministry undersecretary Khaled al-Jarallah said, quoted by KUNA late on Monday.Kuwait is the nearest country to the Russian-built nuclear plant in the Iranian city of Bushehr, located like Kuwait in the northern Gulf.Iran loaded the Bushehr facility with nuclear fuel last Saturday and the United States said there was no proliferation risk from the civilian plant because of Russian involvement.A number of Kuwaiti MPs, however, have called on the government to take precautionary measures against any incident from Iran's first nuclear plant.But Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told reporters at his weekly press conference on Tuesday that the Bushehr plant adheres to high standards and had the seal of approval of the UN nuclear watchdog.Due to the high standards with regards to safeguards in the Bushehr nuclear power plant, there should be no concern about it, he said. The International Atomic Energy Agency has approved the safeguards in the Bushehr plant.According to Kuwaiti media, a senior Iranian official is expected in the emirate within days, possibly to discuss the nuclear plant issue.During a brief visit to Kuwait on Monday, following talks in Tehran, Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani said in a statement carried by KUNA that the Bushehr plant was Iran's business.If the plant is peaceful and for power use according to our information, then this is a legitimate right for Iran under international law and we do not want to change this framework at the present time,he said.
Iran launches assault boats, warns don't play with fire
by Farhad Pouladi – Mon Aug 23, 3:35 pm ET
TEHRAN (AFP) – Iran began mass-producing two high-speed variants of missile-launching assault boats on Monday, warning its enemies not to play with fire as it boosts security along its coastline.The inauguration of the production lines for the Seraj and Zolfaqar speedboats comes a day after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled Iran's home-built bomber drone, which he said would deliver death to Iran's enemies.The United States expressed concern about the Islamic republic's growing military capabilities.Iran's state news agency IRNA reported that the Seraj (Lamp) and Zolfaqar (named after Shiite Imam Ali's sword) boats would be manufactured at the marine industries complex of the defence ministry.Defence Minister Ahmad Vahidi opened the assembly lines, saying the vessels would help to strengthen Iran's defences, IRNA said.Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran is relying on a great defence industry and the powerful forces of Sepah (Revolutionary Guards) and the army, with their utmost strength, can provide security to the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman and Strait of Hormuz,Vahidi said.
He issued a stern warning to Iran's foes.The enemy must be careful of its adventurous behaviour and not play with fire because the Islamic Republic of Iran's response would be unpredictable, IRNA quoted him as saying.If enemies attack Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran's reaction will not be restricted to one area. The truth of our defence doctrine is that we will not attack any country and that we extend our hand to all legitimate countries.Iran's arch-foes, the United States and Israel, have not ruled out taking military action over Tehran's controversial nuclear programme.This is... something that is of concern to us and... concern to Iran's neighbours, State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters in Washington of Iran's latest military acquisitions.He said that while all nations had the right to self-defence, the United States take into account... systems that can potentially... threaten particular countries or peace and stability in the region.
Faced with the growth Iran's capabilities over a number of years, we've stepped up our military cooperation with other countries in the region,Crowley said.Iran has in the past threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, choking off some 40 percent of tanker-shipped oil worldwide, in the event of a military attack.IRNA said Zolfaqar was a new generation missile-launching vessel.It is designed for quick assaults on ships and is equipped with two missile launchers, two machine guns and a computer system to control the missiles, the report said.Fars news agency cited Vahidi as saying that Zolfaqar was to be equipped with the Nasr 1 (Victory) marine cruise missile which has high destructive power.Iran has previously said that the Nasr missile can destroy targets weighing up to 3,000 tonnes. IRNA said Seraj, designed for a tropical climate, was also a swift assault vessel for use in the Caspian sea, the Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, adding that it can also fire rockets. Seraj is a fast-moving assault rocket launcher using sophisticated and modern technology, Vahidi was cited as saying by IRNA. The launch of the production lines comes as Iran marks its annual government week, when it traditionally showcases its latest technological achievements. The naval commander of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, Ali Fadavi, was quoted by IRNA as saying that the missile-launching boats are the world's fastest. The Iranian-made missile-launching boats rank first in the world when it comes to their velocity, he said. Ahmadinejad on Sunday unveiled a bomber drone with a range of up to 1,000 kilometres (620 miles), which he dubbed the ambassador of death.State media said the drone, Karar (Assailant), can carry four stealth cruise missiles, two bombs of 250 pounds (115 kilos) each or a precision missile of 500 pounds (230 kilos). Tehran on Friday test-fired a surface-to-surface missile named Qiam (Rising), and more announcements are expected over the next few days, including the test-firing of a third-generation Fateh (Conqueror) 110 missile. Iran also recently took delivery of four domestically built Ghadir mini-submarines, stealth vessels designed to operate in shallow waters such as the Gulf.
SINS OF PEOPLE
ISAIAH 5:20-25
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Some 200 women gang-raped near Congo UN base By MICHELLE FAUL, Associated Press Writer – Mon Aug 23, 5:17 pm ET
JOHANNESBURG – Rwandan and Congolese rebels gang-raped nearly 200 women and some baby boys over four days within miles of a U.N. peacekeepers' base in an eastern Congo mining district, an American aid worker and a Congolese doctor said Monday.
Will F. Cragin of the International Medical Corps said aid and U.N. workers knew rebels had occupied Luvungi town and surrounding villages in eastern Congo the day after the attack began on July 30.More than three weeks later, the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Congo has issued no statement about the atrocities and said Monday it still is investigating.Cragin told The Associated Press by telephone that his organization was only able to get into the town, which he said is about 10 miles (16 kilometers) from a U.N. military camp, after rebels ended their brutal spree of raping and looting and withdrew of their own accord on Aug. 4.At U.N. headquarters in New York, spokesman Martin Nesirky said Monday that a U.N. Joint Human Rights team verified allegations of the rape of at least 154 women by combatants from the Rwandan rebel FDLR group and Congolese Mai-Mai rebels in the village of Bunangiri. He said the victims are receiving medical and psycho-social care.Nesirky said the U.N. peacekeeping mission has a military company operating base in Kibua, some 30 kilometers (about 19 miles) east of the village, but he said FDLR attackers blocked the road and prevented villagers from reaching the nearest communication point.Civil society leader Charles Masudi Kisa said there were only about 25 peacekeepers and that they did what they could against some 200 to 400 rebels who occupied the town of about 2,200 people and five nearby villages.When the peacekeepers approached a village, the rebels would run into the forest, but then the Blue Helmets had to move on to another area, and the rebels would just return, Masudi said.
There was no fighting and no deaths, Cragin said, just lots of pillaging and the systematic raping of women.Four young boys also were raped, said Dr. Kasimbo Charles Kacha, the district medical chief. Masudi said they were babies aged one month, six months, a year and 18 months.Many women said they were raped in their homes in front of their children and husbands, and many said they were raped repeatedly by three to six men,Cragin said. Others were dragged into the nearby forest.International and local health workers have treated 179 women but the number raped could be much higher as terrified civilians still are hiding, he said.We keep going back and identifying more and more cases, he said. Many of the women are returning from the forest naked, with no clothes.He said that by the time they got help it was too late to administer medication against AIDS and contraception to all but three of the survivors.Spokeswoman Stefania Trassari said her U.N. Organization for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid was monitoring the situation but that access for humanitarian workers remains very limited due to insecurity.Luvungi is a farming center on the main road between Goma, the eastern provincial capital, and the major mining town of Walikale.Kacha said on one day during the rebel occupation Indian peacekeepers had provided a military escort against the rebels to a large commercial truck traveling from Kemba to Luvungi, which is near a cassiterite mine and about 88 miles (140 kilometers) south of Goma.U.N. mission spokesman Madnodje Mounoubai promised to get military comment on the assumption that the peacekeepers were protecting commercial goods but not civilians, which is their primary mandate.
Survivors said their attackers were from the FDLR that includes perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide who fled across the border to Congo in 1994 and have been terrorizing the population in eastern Congo ever since, according to Cragin. The Rwandans were accompanied by Mai-Mai rebels, he said, quoting survivors. Masudi, the civil society leader, said the rebels arrived after Congolese army troops without explanation redeployed from Luvungi and its surroundings to Walikale. He said this happened after some soldiers deserted and joined rebels in the forest. Rape as a weapon of war has become shockingly commonplace in eastern Congo, where at least 8,300 rapes were reported last year, according to the United Nations. It is believed that many more rapes go unreported.Congo's army and U.N. peacekeepers have been unable to defeat the many rebel groups responsible for the long drawn-out conflict in eastern Congo, which is fueled by the area's massive mineral reserves. Gold, cassiterite and coltan are some of the minerals mined in the area near Luvungi, with soldiers and rebels competing for control of lucrative mines that give them little incentive to end the fighting. The minerals are our curse with the FDLR looting on one side and the soldiers looting on the other,said Masudi. The Congolese government this year has demanded the withdrawal of the $1.35 billion-a-year U.N. mission, the largest peacekeeping force in the world with more than 20,000 soldiers, saying it has failed in its primary mandate to protect civilians.Mission officials have said that the peacekeeping army is too small to police this sprawling nation the size of Western Europe, and that its peacekeepers are handicapped by rebels using civilians as shields and operating in rugged terrain where they are difficult to pursue.The mission also has a difficult mandate of supporting the Congolese army, whose troops often also are accused of raping and pillaging.Associated Press Writer Edith M. Lederer contributed to this report from the United Nations.

Ashton set to take new office in EU nerve centre-The view from the seventh floor of the Hague wing, Ms Ashton's potential new office, with the EU commission headquarters on the right and the Lex building on the far left (Photo: EUobserver)
ANDREW RETTMAN Today AUG 24,10 @ 14:21 CET
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The EU is in talks to lease the so-called Triangle building in Brussels for its new diplomatic service, with Catherine Ashton's likely new digs to overlook the comings and goings in the EU Council and European Commission.The commission's talks with the building's owners, the financial services firm Axa, have dragged on for 18 months, but are now very close to the signature, a contact involved in the process said.The commission is expected to lease 50,000 square metres of the 60,000 square metre block for at least 15 years at a cost of around €10 million a year. Ms Ashton's European External Action Service (EEAS) will fill most of the space, with some room left for assorted commission departments. The EU institutions' careers office, Epso, has in a separate contract already leased a 10,000 square metre chunk from July.If the EEAS is to open up shop on 1 December as planned, Ms Ashton will have to move fast. Axa estimates it would take three to four months to kit out its shell into working offices, not counting special security arrangements for EEAS branches such as the SitCen intelligence-sharing bureau. Axa is to continue to run parts of the ground floor, installing sandwich shops and cafes. But the shops are to be accessible from the street side only and are even to have separate heating and electrical systems for tax and security reasons.Foreign ministers visiting the EU external relations chief would enter through a towering hallway that opens onto a leafy atrium full of mingling EU officials.The finest space and Ms Ashton's likely new office is on the seventh floor of the so-called Hague wing, overlooking the Schuman roundabout, which is also home to the EU Council and the commission, and which sees frequent protests by groups ranging from Belgian old age pensioners to Iranian pro-democracy activists. Another option is the seventh floor of the Luxembourg wing, with views on the Parc du Cinquantenaire.
This side is much more beautiful. But the other side is better if she likes to oversee where everyone is going, Axa spokeswoman, Sabine Van Depoele, told EUobserver on a recent tour of the building.It's important for [Ms Ashton] to have her own premises, so that if she calls a meeting everybody is close to hand, but also to make the right impression when visitors come, an EU official said. The baroness is currently squashed into a corridor on the 12th floor of the commission headquarters. Unlike the commission president, Jose Manuel Barroso, the EU foreign relations chief will not have a rooftop helicopter pad (unless she rips up Axa's solar panels) or an underground tunnel to get to her parking spot. If she needs to come and go without Chinese and Russian spies seeing, there is an option - a bricked-up pedestrian tunnel running under Avenue De Cortenbergh to the European Commission building, dating back from when the Triangle site was used by commission translators. It could be opened up. Why not? Axa real estate manager, Bruno Detollenaere, said.The Triangle building was constructed with an EU clientele in mind. It conforms with the commission's health and safety code. It has the latest green credentials and its six wings are each named after the capital city of one of the union's six founding countries.
The final plan is a far cry from Axa's original concept, however.The firm up until one year ago was planning to split the property between the commission, national embassies and private companies. The Dutch and Finnish EU embassies and lobbyist firm Hill and Knowlton got into talks before pulling out after the commission made it clear it did not want to share.The EU Council's new Lex building and the Charlemagne building, the current home of the commission's foreign relations department, fondly called the Death Star by some EU officials due to its physical resemblance to an evil weapon in the Star Wars films, have also been considered for the EEAS' new home.Both are located a stone's throw from the Triangle building on the Rue de la Loi. But EU officials' trade unions said the EU Council translators who recently moved into the Lex block are unwilling to budge, while the Death Star is a bit too small. There is no real alternative [to the Triangle], another EU official said.No decision has yet been taken on where the EEAS will be situated since we are still creating the service and it is a work in progress. It is correct that we will need additional office space since the EEAS is a bigger body than the current external relations directorate of the European Commission, Ms Ashton's spokesman, Darren Ennis, added.I can categorically tell you that we will not be purchasing a new building. Regarding the additional office space we are currently looking at some options, notably current EU buildings (already leased or being used) and vacant space.
Germany and France lead way in two-speed recovery
MATEJ HRUSKA Today AUG 24,10 @ 09:27 CET
The economic recovery of the eurozone slightly lost its momentum in August, with most of the growth dependent on the performance of Germany and France, a purchasing managers' index survey published on Monday (23 August) showed.According to the preliminary figures from Markit, a UK-based research firm, the eurozone composite output index, which measures activity across the private sector, including the manufacturing and services sectors, fell to a two-month low of 56.1 in August, down from 56.7 in July.While the outcome of the whole single currency bloc is solid, Markit wrote in a press release, there are worrying divergences between national economies, as growth is largely dependent on Germany and France.Growth in the rest of the euro area slowed to near stagnation, and services even contracted again as austerity measures bite, Chris Williamson, the company's chief economist said.There is little evidence to suggest that buoyant business conditions from France and Germany are spilling over to the benefit of the periphery, he added, noting that this could spell further divergence in the euro area's two-speed recovery.The German composite purchasing managers' index, which rose to 59.3 in August, up from 59 in July, was boosted by an acceleration in the services sector. The services activity index rose to its 36- month maximum at 58.5, up from 56,5 in July. The manufacturing index reached its two-month low at 60.9 in August, compared with 63.6 in July,
France's composite index fell to 59 from 59.7 in July, but Markit said a recovery is still on the way.
Although the headline composite activity index fell to its lowest level since March, stronger rises in both new business and backlogs offer reassurance that the recovery in France remains robust, Markit economist Jack Kennedy was quoted as saying.Flash estimates from the EU statistic office Eurostat, published on 13 August, confirmed Germany as a leader of Europe's economic recovery with a GDP growth rate of 2.2 percent in the second quarter of 2010, the best German result since re-unification in 1990.France's GDP increased by 0.6 percent, while Spain, Italy and Portugal each reported increases of less than 0.5 percent. The EU's overall growth was 1.7 percent.
Reykjavik: ECB must prop up krona until Iceland joins euro
LEIGH PHILLIPS Today AUG 24,10 @ 09:24 CET
The Icelandic foreign minister has said that the European Central Bank must prop up the krona, the country's bedevilled currency, once the island joins the European Union and until it adopts the euro.Ossur Skarphedinsson made the comments on Sunday to Visir, a local tabloid newspaper, saying that during the ongoing accession talks with Brussels, he was underlining this point with European negotiators.He told the paper of the need to reach a conclusion about the manner in which the European Union and Europe Central Bank could improve the Icelandic foreign exchange market. It would immediately begin to improve the situation here at home and prepare for introduction of the euro.He added however that negotiations will almost certainly take longer than anticipated so that the 18-month time frame some had hoped for will probably be exceeded.Mr Skarphedinsson said the two trickiest issues are proving to be fisheries, as expected, and agriculture.Talks on both subjects should begin by next Easter, he said, and conclude by autumn 2011.I am now optimist as you know, but I think these will not go so quickly, said Mr Skarphedinsson. And I think this means that talks will be longer and harder than many expected.
Discussions got off to a rocky start when Brussels warned it could block access for Icelandic and Faroe Islands fishermen to EU waters if they do not back down on plans to boost their mackerel catch just weeks after talks began.Seas warmer than usual this year have seen a migration of mackerel out of EU waters to cooler more northerly territories fished by Icelanders and Denmark's Faeroese, who have both upped their mackerel catch allowances in response, angering Brussels.UK papers in recent days have warned that Britain and the EU are on the verge of a mackerel war with the small north Atlantic nation.

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

Energy commissioner sides with Merkel on nuclear tax
VALENTINA POP 23.08.2010 @ 09:33 CET
EU energy commissioner Guenther Oettinger over the weekend sided with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in what has become a heated debate over taxing energy companies which profit from extending the life of nuclear plants.To the outrage of big energy companies, Ms Merkel wants to tax nuclear power plant operators in exchange for an extension of the plants' lifetimes, which under current legislation is to end in 2020.Mr Oettinger, himself a German politician from Ms Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU), said he supported the idea. It's quite normal for nuclear groups to protest at the idea of a tax, but they should give the authorities a large part of the sizeable profits accruing from the (extended) operation of nuclear plants, he said in an interview with the Sueddeutsche Zeitung on Saturday, just as several big German companies signed a joint protest letter against the tax.
I consider that at least 50 percent would be appropriate, Mr Oettinger added. His endorsement comes a month after Ms Merkel reportedly vented her anger at him after he missed an important meeting within the EU commission where Brussels decided to end coal-mine subsidies earlier than had been expected, taking Germany and others by surprise.The proposed nuclear tax could generate €2.3 billion a year, a much needed source of revenue for the German budget, as the government in June signed up to €80 billion worth of cuts over the next three years.But Ms Merkel's plan to tax the energy giants has angered her supporters in the big-business circles. In the joint letter, heads of energy giants E.oN, RWE, Vattenfall, along with other big companies such as Bayer, Metro and Deutsche Bank argued that the levy would block important future investments.A lot is at stake: Securing our livelihood for tomorrow and Germany's future as a place of business. That concerns us all, said the letter, published as a full-page advertisement in major German newspapers and magazines over the weekend.Traditionally CDU backers, the signatories referred to the letter as a warning shot for the government, Sueddeutsche reports. They also warned against a precipitate exit from nuclear power, as it would destroy billions of euros of investment. The center-right government pledged in 2009 to reverse the phasing out of nuclear energy agreed by the previous Green-Social Democratic coalition – a move initially welcomed by big business, until the tax idea came along.
In her weekly address on Saturday, Ms Merkel argued that keeping nuclear plants going for a longer period should foster the transition to an age of renewable energy as quickly as possible.Her spokesman played down the importance of the public protest letter, by saying it was a completely legitimate contribution to the discussion and that the chancellor had no objection to that.Meanwhile, finding a majority for extending the lifespan of energy plants may prove difficult, as Ms Merkel's political support is waning even within her own party, Financial Times Deutschland writes. In addition, legal constrictions limit the extension to a maximum of 10 years.

NKorea deploying troops, weapons near Pyongyang By HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press Writer - AUG 24,10
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea is deploying troops, artillery and tanks near Pyongyang in apparent preparation for a massive military parade marking key national events later this year, South Korea said Tuesday.The military buildup near the capital began in mid-July amid high tensions on the peninsula, South Korea's Defense Ministry said in a report submitted to a parliamentary committee.Preparation for a massive national event is under way in North Korea and the move is presumably related to a key Workers' Party meeting in September and the 65th anniversary of the party's founding in October, it said.North Korea would likely use the military assets to stage a parade in Pyongyang, a ministry official said on condition of anonymity citing department policy.North Korea often marks important national holidays with military parades, often featuring newly developed missiles and weapons.
North Korea said in June that it would elect new ruling Workers' Party leaders in a party conference in early September, sparking speculation that the move is aimed at boosting a government campaign to hand over power from leader Kim Jong Il to a son.
It's widely believed that Kim is preparing to transfer power to his third and youngest son, Kim Jong Un, and many North Korea watchers say next month's party meeting is aimed at giving the son a key party job.Speculation on the succession intensified after the 68-year-old Kim suffered a reported stroke in 2008, with Kim's apparently falling health prompting concerns about instability and a possible power struggle in the nuclear-armed country if he were to die without anointing a successor.The North's ties with South Korea were plunged to their lowest point in years when a Seoul-led international investigation in May blamed Pyongyang torpedoing in March the South Korean warship Cheonan, killing 46 sailors. North Korea denies involvement, and has issued a series of threats to South Korea over military drills between South Korea and the United States.The army and people of the (North) will never tolerate any reckless moves of the U.S. imperialists and the South Korean puppet group of traitors to provoke a nuclear war but (will) launch a sacred retaliatory war ... based on nuclear deterrent any time they deem necessary, North Korea's No. 2 leader Kim Yong Nam said Tuesday, North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency reported.
A similar threat was issued last month by the North's powerful National Defense Commission.The North routinely threatens attacks whenever South Korea and the U.S. hold joint military drills, which Pyongyang sees as a rehearsal for an invasion. The U.S. says it has no intention of invading the North.South Korea and the U.S. are currently holding annual computerized military drills. They also conducted large-scale joint naval exercises last month and plan to hold more maneuvers in the Yellow Sea early next month.The two Koreas officially remain at war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.China's top nuclear envoy is to visit Seoul later this week to discuss North Korea's nuclear weapons program and his recent trip to Pyongyang, according to South Korea's Foreign Ministry.Wu Dawei met senior North Korean officials last week in Pyongyang and discussed the resumption of six-nation talks on ending the North's nuclear program. Pyongyang's state media reported that Wu and North Korean officials reached a full consensus of views on all the matters discussed but didn't provide details.North Korea walked away from the nuclear disarmament talks last year in protest at an international condemnation of a long-range rocket launch. Prospects for restarting the talks were put into doubt after the warship sinking.Former President Jimmy Carter, meanwhile, plans to leave for North Korea on Tuesday to try to gain the freedom of an American imprisoned for illegally entering the communist country, U.S. officials said. Aijalon Mahli Gomes was arrested in January before later being sentenced to eight years in prison and fined $700,000. North Korea agreed to release Gomes if Carter were to come to bring him home, a senior U.S. official told The Associated Press. The official and a second who confirmed the trip spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.Associated Press writer Matthew Lee contributed to this report from Washington.
