HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

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

REVELATION 13:16-18
16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth all,(WORLD SOCIALISM) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM

Lagarde: Stress tests will show EU banks healthy
JULY 4,10


AIX-EN-PROVENCE – France's finance minister says stress tests will show European banks are solid and healthy.European Union leaders have promised to disclose the results of stress tests designed to show how banks would do if circumstances worsen.

The U.S. published stress tests in 2009 to show how much capital the country's 19 biggest banks needed to raise to cope with more losses.Finance Minister Christine Lagarde told reporters on Sunday that the European banks that will be subjected to the EU tests and the exact criteria will soon be known.The results will be published around July 23, she said. She added that she is not worried about French banks.

Dubai World further reshuffles business units
Sun Jul 4, 3:33 am ET


DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – The main property unit of Dubai World has been given control of another real estate company run by the indebted state conglomerate.
Dubai's media office said in a statement dated Saturday that Dubai World's Nakheel division will assume management responsibility for the conglomerate's Limitless unit.
The company also named a new board at another Dubai World division, Economic Zones World, which runs business parks.Financial problems at Dubai World last year sparked a financial panic that spread around the world. The company has spent months reorganizing its business while working on a plan to restructure $23.5 billion worth of debt.

ECB's Trichet urges rigor in budget policy
JULY 4,10


AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France – The head of the European Central Bank says governments should be rigorous in their budget policies.Jean-Claude Trichet said Sunday that governments have to juggle a declicate balancing act when setting spending and tax guidelines.They need to instill confidence in households so they keep spending, in companies so they keep investing, as well as in savers and investors.That requires a very attentive control of budgets, he told reporters at the sidelines of the Rencontres Economiques conference in southern France.

US largely ruling out NKorea in 2009 cyberattacks By LOLITA C. BALDOR, Associated Press Writer – Sat Jul 3, 5:49 pm ET

WASHINGTON – U.S. officials have largely ruled out North Korea as the origin of a computer attack last July that took down U.S. and South Korean government websites, according to cybersecurity experts.But authorities are not much closer than they were a year ago to knowing exactly who did it — and why.In the days after the fast-moving, widespread attack, analysis pointed to North Korea as the likely starting point because code used in the attack included Korean language and other indicators. Experts now say there is no conclusive evidence that North Korea, or any other nation, orchestrated it.The crippling strikes, known as denial of service attacks, did not compromise security or breach any sensitive data or critical systems. Officials and experts say the agencies are better prepared today. But they acknowledge that many government and business sites remain vulnerable to similar intrusions.The incidents underscore the increasing threats posed by computer-based attacks, and how they can disrupt service as well as inflame political tensions.

Pinpointing the culprits for such attacks is difficult or even impossible, officials say. Some suggest the July 4 weekend attacks a year ago may have been designed as a political broadside.These officials point suspicions at South Koreans, possibly activists, who are concerned about the threat from North Korea and would be looking to ramp up antagonism toward their neighbor. Several experts familiar with the investigation spoke on condition of anonymity because the results are not final.

According to U.S. officials and private computer analysts, the attacks were largely restricted to vandalizing the public Web pages of about a half dozen federal agencies, including the Treasury Department and the Federal Trade Commission. About three dozen other sites were targeted, including some private companies and a number of South Korean government sites, which reportedly had the most damage.While the questions of who did it and why are unanswered, many investigators and experts now do not consider it a critical case.It's about as frightening as someone driving around the block blowing their horn a lot, said James Lewis, cybersecurity expert and a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. A lot of people could have done it, and it doesn't leave a lot of clues to their identity.To Don Jackson, director of threat intelligence for Atlanta-based SecureWorks, a computer security consulting company, it's a dead end as far as who did it. I don't think we've ever gone past that.Those responsible, he said, pulled it off so well, managed it so well — this was someone who has experience at running these types of attacks.Jackson, whose company was among several private firms that studied the codes after the attack, said one possibility is that hackers in South Korea were the culprits.South Korean sources had a mission and may have wanted someone blamed for it,said Jackson. It would further the point that North Korea has elite squads of hackers targeting Seoul.South Korean officials have pointed to North Korea as the suspected assailant, and experts agree that it is within the North's abilities to wage cyberattacks. More recently, however, a government-run website in South Korea was hit with a similar — although smaller — denial of service attack that officials said was traced to China.

There are a number of national intelligence agencies who are creating cybercapabilities. It's a natural area of exploration,said retired Gen. Wesley Clark.I wouldn't underestimate North Korea's potential in this space.Denial of service attacks, Lewis said, don't leave detailed forensic clues that a more directed intrusion, such as an effort to breach a sensitive government program, might leave.Still, officials worry that even a large, well executed attack against critical controlling computer servers could interrupt service if directed at a power company or utility. A strike could disrupt financial markets if directed at Wall Street or hinder travel if aimed at transportation sectors.Those systems tend to be more heavily protected. But an attack against a bank's website could prevent customers from having online access to their accounts and prevent them from paying bills. Such attacks can prove lucrative as an extortion tool, when hackers take down popular gambling sites and demand payment to end the disruption. Despite the lack of a clear culprit, there are things investigators do know about last year's denial of service attack.The malicious computer code was distributed through nine main control servers in four countries. It fanned out to infect about 60,000 computers around the world. Those computers — likely on the desktops of innocent victims — were linked together in what is called a botnet, and they flooded government websites with traffic, knocking them offline or slowing them down over the Independence Day holiday weekend. Altogether, 43 sites were targeted, and the size of the attack suggested it required several people to carry it out. While some Treasury, FTC and State Department sites were slowed or shut down by the software attack, others such as the White House and Department of Homeland Security were able to fend it off with little disruption.Other targets included Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange, Voice of America, U.S. Postal Service, and Amazon and Yahoo.Government officials and analysts say there has been some improvements in dealing with future strikes. Private contractors, such as the web hosting giant Akamai, has a redundant system that will move government sites to other servers if one is seeing an unusual or massive flow of traffic.

Agencies are now better prepared.But, Jackson said, as far as any better capability in tracking down actors or in attributing attacks to any individual or group, I don't know that we're any further along. I would seriously doubt it.Online:

New US satellite to monitor debris in Earth orbit By DAN ELLIOTT, Associated Press Writer – Sat Jul 3, 12:29 pm ET

DENVER – A new U.S. Air Force satellite will provide the first full-time, space-based surveillance of hundreds of satellites and thousands of pieces of debris that could crash into American and allied assets circling the Earth.If all goes as planned, the Space-Based Space Surveillance satellite, scheduled for a July 8 launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., will have an unobstructed, around-the-clock view of the increasingly heavy traffic in Earth orbit — something the Air Force doesn't have now.Currently, the Air Force relies on a ground-based network of radar and optical telescopes around the globe to monitor about 1,000 active satellites and 20,000 pieces of debris. The telescopes can be used only on clear nights, and not all radar stations are powerful enough to detect satellites in deep space orbit, about 22,000 miles from Earth.From its orbit about 390 miles above the Earth, the new satellite will have a clear view of deep space, unaffected by daylight or weather.It really has tremendous capabilities, said Todd Citron, director of advanced space and intelligence systems for Boeing Co., prime contractor for the satellite, known as SBSS.Citron said SBSS will revolutionize space situational awareness,the military term for knowing not only where the objects are, but where they're headed and what might be in their path.

An Air Force official was more cautious.

We do know that the sensor is going to provide a lot of capability,said Col. J.R. Jordan, mission director for the SBSS launch and vice commander of the Air Force Space Superiority Systems Wing. We haven't really come up with broad statements about how much SBSS is expected to improve monitoring, Jordan said.SBSS was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colo., working with Boeing. It carries an optical camera on a swivel mount, so the camera's view can be changed without burning fuel to move the satellite, and will concentrate on satellites and debris in deep space. It will beam information to ground stations.A command center at Schriever Air Force Base, Colo., will oversee day-to-day operations of SBSS in orbit. The SBSS system, including ground-control facilities, cost $500 million.It is the first satellite dedicated solely to space situational awareness, Jordan said. The Air Force space surveillance network previously had partial use of a satellite called the Midcourse Space Experiment, which was designed to track missiles but could also monitor objects in orbit. It's no longer functioning.Millions of pieces of space debris are orbiting the Earth, from tiny pellets of escaped coolant to spent rocket stages and dead satellites, said Brian Weeden, a former Air Force space operations officer who is now the technical adviser for the Secure World Foundation, a Colorado think tank and advocacy group that focuses on the use of space.The Air Force monitors objects that are at least 10 centimeters across, or about 4 inches, big enough to destroy a satellite or a module of the International Space Station with a direct hit, Weeden said.

Almost all are man-made, because natural bodies caught in Earth orbit tend to be smaller.The military shares some of the information with civil and commercial space operators, who can maneuver satellites or the space station out of harm's way. President Barack Obama's National Space Policy, released Monday, pledged U.S. cooperation with other nations on monitoring debris.Like ground-based sensors, SBSS won't continuously track objects but will make spot checks and use the data to predict trajectories. The entire network collects about 400,000 observations daily, the Air Force said.Space junk has collided with satellites at least twice. In 1996, a French satellite was damaged by a rocket fragment. In 2009, a satellite owned by Bethesda, Md.-based Iridium Communications was destroyed in a collision with a derelict Russian satellite.Iridium said it had no warning before the collision but has since been getting more accurate data from the government on potential collisions. In 2007, China purposely destroyed one of its own satellites with a missile in a test, creating an estimated 2,400 pieces of debris at least 5 centimeters across and prompting criticism from the U.S. and others.

Ohio lake's algae dangerous to swimmers, economy By JOHN SEEWER, Associated Press Writer – Fri Jul 2, 5:09 pm ET

ST. MARYS, Ohio – Patches of green and turquoise slime floated like thick paint in the channel behind Kyle Biesel's home. His pontoon boat sat covered up, unused for weeks, on a wooden lift stained by the algae.A foul smell enveloped the backyard where he used to fish and watch blue herons glide over the water. He called it a sickening combination of manure and propane gas.Even more alarming, tests reveal that the waters in Ohio's largest inland lake contain dangerous toxins with the potential to cause rashes, vomiting or even liver and nerve damage. State officials say it's no longer safe for swimming and skiing.It's causing economic and environmental distress for hundreds of people who work along Grand Lake St. Marys in western Ohio, an area already hurt by manufacturing cuts that have contributed to Ohio's highest unemployment rates in a quarter century. Tourism brings an estimated $216 million into the area with much of that coming from visitors to the lake.

People are scared to death, said Chuck Black, who manages Windy Point Marina.You can look out on this lake and count the boats on one hand.Boat repairs are the only thing keeping Black in business because gasoline sales are down by more than half and could cost him well over $50,000 this year. He now wears waterproof boots when he's fixing boats after getting a rash when water dripped on his feet.This is the second straight summer of water warnings along what locals call Ohio's other Great Lake.The water problems led to a drop in visitors last year to 687,000, down from about 737,000 a year earlier.

It's likely to be even worse this summer.

Boaters and tourists have canceled trips, leaving cottages and camp sites empty during what normally would be a bustling Independence Day weekend. Marinas and restaurants are cutting workers, and a few have shut down for good.Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland asked the heads of the U.S Environmental Protection Agency and agriculture department on Friday for financial and environmental assistance in dealing with the lake's water.We have reached a tipping point where the degraded nature of the lake is causing a significant loss to local businesses and the total livelihood of the region,the governor said in his letter.Grand Lake St. Marys is one of the state's most lakes polluted because of the fertilizer and manure that runs off from nearby farms and into creeks and streams flowing into the lake, feeding the algae that produces toxins.This year state environmental regulators have found a different species of algae that can produce up to seven different toxins. Water tests have shown there are low levels of two toxins that can affect the liver and nervous systems.While this type of blue-green algae has been found elsewhere in lakes and rivers, less is known about the toxins they produce.There are no guidelines from the federal government or the World Health Organization on how much exposure is dangerous so state regulators decided to warn people not to touch the water.We just don't know what's safe, said Dina Pierce, spokeswoman for the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.

Closing public beaches or banning swimming hasn't been done because of the lack of guidelines, said Mike Helton, a spokesman for Ohio's natural resources department.We're letting people use their own use discretion,he said.Boating still is allowed, and the state says it's safe to eat the fish. So far, there are no reports of anyone getting sick from the water. Those at the greatest risk are swimmers who accidentally gulp the water and people on Jet Skis and boats who are splashed repeatedly. The spray sends particles of the bacteria into the air where it can be easily inhaled or ingested, said Linda Merchant-Masonbrink, who oversees the state EPA's monitoring of inland lakes. There's also the potential for catastrophic fish kills with large algae blooms that rob the water of oxygen. About 300 dead fish washed up in the algae-filled channel behind Biesel's home a week ago. I worry about the wildlife,he said.I watched the ducks out there, and they could hardly push through it.How much algae covers the water varies each day depending on the weather and winds. Earlier this week, parts of the lake showed no signs of the smell or algae, but it was apparent in some areas. For generations, the 9-mile long lake has been lined with fishing shacks and vacation cottages, but in recent years more expensive homes have been built by retirees who have relocated near the water. Many worry that the algae outbreak will bring down their property values, and some real estate agents say potential buyers have backed out of deals.Some residents say they've been warning politicians about the increasing pollution flowing into the lake for at least a decade. State officials say they've been meeting with farmers, asking them to cut down on the manure that makes it way to the lake.

But residents aren't satisfied. They say stricter regulations are needed on large farms, limiting when they can apply manure to their fields and how close they can plant to streams.It's getting to the point where somebody needs to step on somebody's toes,said Dave Meyer, a member of the Lake Improvement Association. No matter what happens, it may take a long time to get rid of the algae and the stigma surrounding the lake.Jason and Delarie Adams, of Chicago, spent three days at a cabin along the lake this week, not knowing about the water warnings until they arrived.They stayed clear of the lake and kept their 1-year-old daughter's sand toys packed away. We saw the bubbles on the water,said Delarie Adams. It looked like dishwashing detergent.I don't think we'd come back, her husband said. I mean we can't even get in the water.

42 bodies recovered from landslide in SW China
Sun Jul 4, 4:53 am ET


BEIJING – Rescuers pulled 42 bodies from a landslide in southwest China, and 57 people remained missing nearly a week after the disaster with no signs of life detected, the Xinhua News Agency said Sunday.More than 700 rescuers and 26 excavators were digging at the site of the landslide in Dazhai village of Guizhou province, Xinhua said. Homes were buried on June 28 when nearly half a hill apparently collapsed after days of torrential rain.The landslide is about 120 miles (200 kilometers) southwest of Guiyang, the provincial capital.So far there have been no signs of life, Xinhua cited search team chief Pu Jianjiang as saying. Authorities originally reported more than 100 people trapped by the landslide, but now say there were 99.Workers were also shoring up buildings and relocating 2,500 people from 25 other sites in the area that were at risk of landslides, Xinhua said.Southern China was pummeled by summer storms last month, with 266 people killed by flooding and other weather-related causes, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said. Nearly 200 people remained missing from the storms that forced 3.8 million people from their homes.

Israeli PM: Need direct talks with Palestinians By AMY TEIBEL, Associated Press Writer - JULY 4,10

JERUSALEM – Israel's prime minister said Sunday that the main goal of his visit to the White House this week would be to move beyond American-mediated talks with the Palestinians to direct negotiations.The U.S. has been shuttling between the Israelis and Palestinians since May, hoping to prod them to move to direct negotiations by the fall. The Palestinians so far have refused to engage with Israel directly, fearing they will have nothing to show for the effort.Speaking to his Cabinet at the start of its weekly meeting Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there is no alternative to entering direct negotiations. Whoever wants peace must hold direct talks for peace. I hope this will be one of the results of the visit to Washington, he said.Netanyahu is to depart for Washington on Monday and to meet with President Barack Obama the following day.Obama will try to accelerate the prospects of face-to-face peace talks when he meets Netanyahu, White House officials said Friday. While the Israeli prime minister has agreed to direct talks in principle, he has given little indication about what concessions he is prepared to make, and could come under pressure from Obama while in Washington to do so.The Palestinians have sought an Israeli pledge to halt all settlement construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem — captured lands claimed by the Palestinians for a future state. Israel has refused to freeze all construction, though it has slowed building in both areas.

The Palestinians also want talks to resume from where they broke off under Netanyahu's predecessor, Ehud Olmert, who offered sweeping concessions.Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said last week that the indirect talks, brokered by White House envoy George Mitchell, have not yielded the kind of progress that would warrant switching to direct negotiations.However, last week Washington characterized the discussions as substantive and said the gaps between the two sides have narrowed, but did not offer any details.Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat put the onus on Netanyahu to pave the way for direct negotiations.If he wants direct talks, he knows he has the key — by stopping settlement activities and resuming negotiations where they left off in December 2008, Erekat said. If he does this, we will go immediately to direct negotiations.Erekat said the Palestinians have not heard any specific proposals from Netanyahu concerning security arrangements and the borders of a future Palestinian state. Mitchell brought us nothing, he said.Also Sunday, Israel's Cabinet approved expanded powers for the committee investigating the deadly Israeli raid on a blockade-busting flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip in May.The panel will have the authority to compel certain witnesses to testify, in order to examine the legality of the operation. But it still will not be able to question soldiers or examine the decision-making process that preceded the raid, in which nine pro-Palestinian activists from Turkey were killed.Israel formed the committee after rejecting a call by U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon to hold an international inquiry. It says its naval commandos acted in self-defense after being attacked by activists on board one of the six ships. The activists have said they were attacked first.

Iran unveils human-like robot: report
Sun Jul 4, 4:51 am ET


TEHRAN (AFP) – Iran has developed a new human-like walking robot to be used in sensitive jobs, government newspaper Iran reported on Sunday.Soorena-2, named after an ancient Persian warrior, was unveiled by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday. It is 1.45 metres (4.7 feet) tall and weighs 45 kilograms (99 pounds), the report said.Walking slowly like human beings with regular arm and leg movements are among its characteristics,it said.Such robots are designed and developed to be used in sensitive and difficult jobs on behalf of a person or as help.The report did not elaborate on the robot's capabilities.Iran has pursued a number of scientific projects in recent years such as cloning, stem cell research and satellite technology while it has come under increasing international pressure over its controversial nuclear programme.

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:

Iran could halt uranium enrichment if given fuel: MP
Sun Jul 4, 3:13 am ET


TEHRAN (AFP) – A top Iranian lawmaker said on Sunday that Tehran could stop refining uranium to 20 percent purity level, the most controversial part of its atomic programme, if it gets nuclear fuel required for a research reactor.If the fuel for the Tehran research reactor is given, Iran will not insist on continuing the production of the fuel domestically, state news agency IRNA quoted Alaeddin Borujerdi, head of parliament's commission on foreign policy, as saying.Iran has infuriated world powers by refining since February uranium to 20 percent level which when converted into fuel plates or rods can be used to power nuclear reactors.World powers want Iran to suspend the sensitive atomic work, accusing Tehran of secretly aiming to make nuclear weapons. The Islamic republic says its atomic programme is purely for peaceful purposes.On June 23, Iran's atomic chief Ali Akbar Salehi said that Iran was not in a hurry to produce 20 percent enriched uranium even if it can process five kilograms every month.We will adjust the production in a way that the workshop for making the fuel plates is equipped, he said, referring to fuel made from the 20 percent enriched uranium and used to power the Tehran research reactor.

Borujerdi's remarks come after Russian Foreign Minister Sergie Lavrov said on June 29 that the United States, Russia and France had asked the UN atomic watchdog to organise a meeting with Iran over the fuel deal but on a condition that Tehran stops the 20 percent enrichment work.Iran began enriching uranium to 20 percent level after a deadlock over a nuclear fuel deal drafted by the UN atomic watchdog last October.That deal envisaged Tehran sending its low-enriched uranium to Russia and France for conversion into high enriched material -- 20 percent -- and returned to Iran as fuel for the reactor which makes medical isotopes.But the deal became bogged down after the two sides levied conditions unacceptable to the other.In May, Brazil and Turkey brokered a counter proposal to facilitate the uranium exchange.World powers however cold-shouldered the plan and went ahead and voted for a fourth round of UN sanctions against the Islamic republic.Borujerdi warned Sunday that if world powers implement the sanctions, they should not expect Iran to continue the Vienna talks.He was referring to the fuel deal negotiations in the Austrian capital with the United States, Russia, France and the UN atomic watchdog.

Iran says it has evidence scientist abducted by CIA
Sun Jul 4, 1:47 am ET


TEHRAN (AFP) – Iran has submitted evidence to the Swiss embassy that its nuclear scientist was abducted by US intelligence agents, the English language Press TV website reported on Sunday.The evidence related to the abduction of Shahram Amiri by the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) has been handed over to the Swiss embassy in Tehran foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanaparast was quoted as saying.The Swiss embassy manages US interests in Iran since Washington and Tehran have no diplomatic ties.We expect that based on the US administration's obligations... the US authorities will announce the results of their investigation regarding this Iranian national, Mehmanaparast said.Iranian officials have long maintained that Amiri was kidnapped by US agents from Saudi Arabia last year.On June 29, Iranian television had screened a video of a man claiming to be Amiri and saying that he had managed to escape from the hands of US intelligence agents in Virginia.I could be re-arrested at any time by US agents... I am not free and I'm not allowed to contact my family. If something happens and I do not return home alive, the US government will be responsible, he said.I ask Iranian officials and organisations that defend human rights to raise pressure on the US government for my release and return to my country,the man said, adding he has not betrayed Iran.A US official on Tuesday dismissed the allegations in the Iranian broadcast. Amiri disappeared in June 2009 after arriving in Saudi Arabia for a pilgrimage. Iran accused US agents of abducting him with the help of Saudi intelligence services.ABC news in the United States reported in March that Amiri had defected and was working with the CIA. US officials have rejected these allegations.

European unity tested over crucifixes in classroom By VICTOR L. SIMPSON, Associated Press Writer – Fri Jul 2, 2:45 pm ET

ROME – An emotional debate over crucifixes in classrooms is opening a new crack in European unity.It all started in a small town in northern Italy, where Finnish-born Soile Lautsi was so shocked by the sight of crosses above the blackboard in her children's public school classroom that she called a lawyer to see if she could get them removed.Her case went all the way to Europe's highest court — and her victory has set up a major confrontation between traditional Catholic and Orthodox countries and nations in the north that observe a strict separation between church and state. Italy and more than a dozen other countries are fighting the European Court of Human Rights ruling, contending the crucifix is a symbol of the continent's historic and cultural roots.This is a great battle for the freedom and identity of our Christian values, said Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini.The court case underlines how religious symbols are becoming a contentious issue in an increasingly multiethnic Europe.French legislators begin debate next week on a draft law, vigorously championed by President Nicolas Sakorzy, that would forbid women from wearing face-covering Islamic veils anywhere in public. Belgium and Spain are considering similar laws.In its Nov. 3 ruling, the European Court of Human Rights accepted Lautsi's contention that a crucifix could be disturbing to non-Christian pupils and said state-run schools must observe confessional neutrality. Rulings of the court are binding on the 47 members of the Council of Europe, Europe's chief human rights watchdog.

Crucifixes are on display in many public buildings in Italy, where the Vatican is located, and the Roman Catholic Church has encouraged support for keeping them. They will be taken down in schools, however, if the court ruling stands.Despite the rhetoric, Italy has given no hint that the issue would be enough to compel it to quit the council, something no country has ever done.Arguing the appeal Wednesday, New York University legal scholar Joseph Weiler stressed the importance of national symbols around which society can coalesce.It would be strange (if Italy) had to abandon national symbols, and strip from its cultural identikit any symbol which also had a religious significance,said Weiler, an Orthodox Jew who wore a yarmulke while addressing the 19-judge panel.Taken to the extreme, Weiler elaborated in an interview with Italy's La Stampa newspaper, the case for secularism could endanger Britain's national anthem God Save the Queen.Lined up with Italy are such traditional Catholic bastions as Malta, San Marino and Lithuania. The Foreign Ministry of the late Pope John Paul II's Poland — where crucifixes are displayed in public schools and even in the hall of parliament — says the country supports all actions that the government of Italy has taken before the Council of Europe.The list also includes such heavily Orthodox Christian countries as Greece and Cyprus, as well as Russia, Ukraine and Bulgaria, which lived through religious persecution under communism.

The support from so many other countries — we are talking here about a third of the membership of the Council of Europe — has given the case great political significance, said Gregor Puppinck, director of the European Center for Law and Justice, a Christian lobbying group.A final ruling is not expected before fall. Lautsi filed the first complaint in 2002, and both her children are now in their early 20s.The debate over the role religion should play on the largely secular continent has been simmering for more than a decade.For years, Pope John Paul called on the European Union to include a reference to the continent's Judeo-Christian heritage in a new constitution, lecturing European leaders whenever they came to Rome. But France and other northern countries blocked such wording. John Paul's successor, Pope Benedict XVI, urged Europeans to defend their continent's religious and cultural heritage just a week after the November verdict on crucifixes.

Benedict has held up the United States as an example, saying he admires the American people's historic appreciation of the role of religion in shaping public discourse. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of government displays of religious materials such as the Ten Commandments when their purpose was educational or historical rather than religious. Some Muslims in Europe see supporters of crucifixes in classrooms as applying a double standard to religious tolerance. Said Bouamama, a Muslim sociologist and specialist in immigration questions in France, says the push by Italy and other nations reflects a clear preference for Christianity, meaning that tolerance is only extended towards one religion and not for all.Such a measure must be either for everyone or for no one. If not, it will produce even greater division,said Bouamama, a researcher at a French institute that trains social workers.France has western Europe's largest Muslim population, about 5 million, and largest Jewish population, about half a million. Its generally moderate Muslim community has shown itself reluctant to pursue court action in cases involving clothing issues, as when France barred Muslim headscarves from classrooms in 2004. AP correspondents Robert Wielaard in Brussels, Angela Charlton and Rafael Mesquita in Paris, Monika Scislowska in Warsaw and Jim Heintz in Moscow contributed to this report.

AFGHANISTAN-KILL THE CHRISTIANS

Guest Post: Goldman Sachs’ Psychology and Spirituality
June 30th, 2010 byDamon Vrabel


RespondAs a perfect case study illustrating how our economic system feeds our psychology and spirituality, one ofCSPER’s tenets, I thought I’d characterize what some of my old colleagues from Harvard b-school and firms like Goldman have been saying…I know I add value to my clients and to society at large and I am very comfortable with that.Of course claiming to add value is just repeating empty talking points from fraudulent Economics 101 they learned as students (see the first 4 lessons of Renaissance 2.0 to revisit the flaws of the economics taught in colleges today). This is an example of how the best and brightest have no real ability to think independently, but simply a good ability to memorize what the system tells them as kids so they become its best servants (no surprise, the latter half ofLesson 6 pt 3 mentions how the system builds conformity in us, not free thinking).Most of you know the truth about Goldman by now–a parasite that uses debt and its membership in the unconstitutional money cartel (lesson 1) to feed on the productive economy, what little of it exists anymore–so I won’t go into that. What I want to do here is show how this ties to self-esteem (psychology) and sense of purpose in life (spirituality).

Psychology: They are comfortable with their roles in firms like Goldman. You can imagine the level of internal disconnect they have with the real impact their firm has on the population–the fact that their huge paychecks come from the indebtedness of the American people and being an inside cartel member. Not only do they have no intellectual understanding of it, but a big reason they don’t have an understanding is because they can’t face the truth. They stay in the academic clouds believing they add value because they can’t look for the truth without losing belief in their identity. It would be a psychological blow. The role we play in the economic system is inextricably tied to our psychology. So by avoiding the truth, they’re psychologically very comfortable.But this also means they’re psychologically narcissistic–narcissism is a dangerous disconnect from reality and truth.

Spirituality: They say they add value to society at large.That’s the key. They reach the realm of religion when they say that. It’s their raisson d’etre. They think they’re saving the world. Remember Goldman CEO Blankfein saying his firm does God’s work? Well, these folks show that they’ve been fully baptized into the cult. This is the type of mentality necessary to fuel the catastrophic destruction of society we’ve witnessed. Your average low-rent criminal mentality would NOT be enough to fuel what the Wall Street cartel has done to the world over the last several years. It takes spirituality, a belief that you’re serving a higher purpose, warped though it may be, to pull that off.So I hope this helps make the case for CSPER and explain why I connected the S P and E together. The connection is critical. The economic system defines what we spend most of our waking hours doing, which means it can’t help but be a primary determinant of our psychology and spirituality. So an economic system built on an immoral, unhealthy monetary system cannot help but breed immoral spirituality and unhealthy psychology over time. It must be changed.

Protections that Don't Protect-Happy Fourth of July everyone!

There were times in the history of the United States when by all accounts we really shouldn't have made it as a country. So what was the deciding factor? It just might have been faith in God. Chris Stewart is co-author of Seven Miracles that Saved America.MSNBC host Chris Matthews is upset about all the extremists that are connected with the tea party movement. Wonder what that means? Well let's hear from one of them. John McManus is president of the John Birch Society (www.jbs.org) and he continues a two-decades tradition by dropping in from time to time for a chat.
John's boralogue examines the history of the concept of freedom and the role that religion played in it and how progressive socialists have been trying to change that foundation for a century.

Lawmakers and protesters in Afghanistan are calling for just that
by Mindy Belzc WORLD Magazine (June 18, 2010 )www.worldmag.com

It has never been easy to work as a Christian—local or foreign—in Afghanistan. But since a video was broadcast on Afghan television showing the baptism of converts in Kabul, the danger has escalated—and the tiny minority suddenly finds itself a potentially sizeable pawn in a game of political chess.Privately owned Noorin TV first broadcast in late May videotape coverage of a baptism, along with Afghans taking part in Christian prayer meetings in alleged missionary safe houses in western Kabul. Although at least two years old, the footage was replayed on several television stations and triggered a frenzied anti-Christian response: Hundreds of students joined street protests at Kabul University, shouting death threats and demanding the expulsion of foreigners. Demonstrations also spread from the capital to other cities, including Herat, Baghlan, and Mazar-e-Sharif.Two of the Afghan Christians who appeared in the broadcast were arrested and shown again on national television. The next day (May 31), the deputy secretary of the lower house of parliament, Abdul Sattar Khawasi, called from the parliament floor for the public execution of the Afghan converts. Other members of parliament condemned the activities of foreign non-government organizations (NGOs), and that same day two were suspended from working in the country: U.S.-based Church World Service and Norwegian Church Aid.The groups deny they have been involved in proselytizing. Both have had major operations in Afghanistan: Church World Service employs 190 people there, and Norwegian Church Aid, with 50, was in the midst of an $8 million project.

Waheed Omar, spokesman for President Hamid Karzai, announced on June 1 that the president had ordered steps to prevent further conversions to Christianity. According to sources, authorities drew up a list of 14 NGOs and 25 or more foreign and local Christians to be investigated for Christian activity. A statement released Friday by Barnabas Fund, a U.K.-based aid group, reports that authorities have searched homes in Kabul, and dozens of Afghan Christians have fled their towns, some even leaving the country.Several NGOs also report that they have been visited by security officials, and in some cases asked to record for the government the names of all employees. WORLD began receiving information about the crackdown at that time, but at the request of several organizations concerned about the safety of their employees and of local Christians agreed not to publish the information then.But a group of Afghan Christians living in New Delhi issued the following statement: We do not know how the whole world and especially the global church is silent and closing their eyes while thousands of their brothers and sisters are in pain, facing life danger and death penalty and are tortured, persecuted and called criminals.Barnabas Fund president Patrick Sookhdeo told me he also believed that Western Christians need to understand and speak out about what’s happening to Christians in Afghanistan: Just as the United States fractured Iraq and so Christians there had to go to the wall while the U.S. did not defend them, much of this is happening again in Afghanistan.On June 5, the Afghan minister of the Interior and the director of the Security Department resigned suddenly. The official reason was that they had not prevented a Taliban attack on a peace conference Karzai attended June 2 in Kabul. But both officials also worked at one time for Western NGOs, including Norwegian Church Aid.

Why would government officials go to such lengths to silence a handful of minority religious believers? Because Christians, who in the eyes of many Afghans are associated with Westerners, are seen as a tool to bring pressure and embarrassment on an increasingly unpopular President Karzai. Noorin TV, which first broadcast the tapes, is funded by the Northern Alliance and seen as anti-government. Burhanuddin Rabbani, a former president of Afghanistan, now heads an affiliated opposition group in parliament and came out against Karzai during the last election.The problem also stems from the ambiguity in Afghanistan’s constitution, which was largely brokered with assistance from the United States in 2003-2004 (see Dress rehearsal? Jan. 17, 2004). It created an Islamic republic that granted freedoms and democracy with Islam as its sacred religion. While Article 2 grants that followers of other religions are free to perform their religious ceremonies within the limits of the provisions of law,Article 3 states,No law can be contrary to the sacred religion of Islam.Under Islamic law, converts from Islam become guilty of apostasy, which is punishable by death. In 2006 a case surfaced against Abdul Rahman, an Afghan citizen who was arrested for converting to Christianity and threatened with the death penalty. Under heavy international pressure, including from the Vatican, officials released him and he was granted asylum in Italy.The pressure for Karzai to deal forcibly with converts comes as he is seeking to lure Taliban leadership into peace talks with the government and wants to demonstrate his independence from NATO and U.S. leadership.
But as Sookhdeo of the Barnabas Fund points out, NATO and U.S. funds underwrite the Afghan government, and it is a signatory to UN standards: It should be held accountable.

CLINTON SPEECH ENCOURAGES USE FOR MICRO-LENDING
By CJ Graham July 3, 2010 NewsWithViews.com

http://www.newswithviews.com/Graham/cj125.htm

Americans continue to struggle with high unemployment rates and fears of a turbulent economic future. Across the nation, worried citizens have gathered at town hall meetings, rallies and even Washington DC en masse. Desperately trying to voice their objections, to the crushing debt and weakened dollar, citizens fear our children will be enslaved to Communist China, a shameful fate. We have become extremely frustrated trying to understand why our voices are not heard on issues of illegal immigration and security at our ports and borders. Recently Arizona took the brave and correct step of passing into law a bill which supports law enforcement, in its fight against years of neglect, from the federal government.Almost immediately, cries of racism rang out from around the country. The Obama administration, which had previously been too busy to return urgent calls for help, from a desperate Governor Brewer, wasted no time calling the legislation SB 1070 misguided. Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security minced no words condemning the law; she used the carefully worded answer that the border was as secure as it ever was. Has the border ever been secure? Are you as sick as I am of people using semantics to avoid speaking plainly and honestly? Our voices are not heard. Our actions are dismissed or ridiculed. Why? What could be more powerful than the citizens of a nation rising in protest, demanding validation? There is more at play than most Americans understand. There is a structure, a hemispheric government, with far reaching goals and ideas. Washington DC is aware of its power and influence. They hope American citizens will not become so. Representing the Obama Administration, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a very telling speech in Ecuador on June 8, 2010. You would not have heard about it in the MSM. The corporate owned media has no real interest in informing Americans, only in distracting them. You can read the full transcript of her speech here. I wonder if Sec of State Clinton would have to guts to give this exact speech to a town hall meeting in Anywhere, USA. I would like to see her try and explain this to Americans standing in line at the unemployment office.

While American families struggle to find work, lose their homes and their ability to care for their children, the Obama administration is concerned about improving the lives of foreign families through micro-lending and foreign aid which he intends to foster using American dollars, drained from our economy, and paid in part, through remittances. So many of our government leaders speak to a broader constituency and seem not to differentiate between United States citizens and citizens, of other nations, in our hemisphere. This explains so many of the decisions they make which leave honest Americans at a loss and feeling unrepresented. The globalist mindset is completely different from the average American.

They think hemispherically, and globally.

So quick to give to the world America’s depleted bounty, globalists express care and concern for citizens of other nations while their own struggle and suffer. Of course, they expect us to keep paying for it. They call it Macro-economic equilibrium. It is steeped in the ideology that there cannot be freedom and social justice without redistribution.Understanding that every penny we give, we must first borrow; let Clinton’s own words define where her heart and aspirations lie. I contend it is not with the best interest of the American people.

(Excerpts from Clinton’s Speech)

[Governments need to put opportunity at the top of the agenda. And the United States will do its part. Traditional aid and assistance programs remains one part of our approach. We will continue to deliver almost $2 billion in assistance to some of the most impoverished places in our hemisphere.We will continue our focus through the Millennium Challenge compacts with developing countries. But we will also work to enhance trade. Trade between the United States and our partners reached more than $600 billion a year. And we have to continue to reduce barriers to commerce. Annual U.S. investment has reached $60 billion a year. And our contributions to multilateral institutions like the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank also invest billions more in the region. And workers in the United States send more than $50 billion a year back to the region in the form of remittances. So how can we build on those facts? Well, we’re looking at ways that we can use the leverage from remittances to help countries like Ecuador improve infrastructure and services. Now, on an individual level, remittances are sons and daughters that help mothers and fathers, the parents who sacrifice for their children. But taken together, that is a huge resource for a country. And so we’re looking at how we can develop new ways to enhance that money coming back, to give small businesses and communities a chance to prosper. We’re building new ways to leverage remittances to expand credit for development and infrastructure projects without taking anything from the hard-earned dollars being sent back to the families. We want to promote financial inclusion, and that’s why we’re using microfinance. We’ve seen microfinance not go just only to an individual but to provide innovative banking services in poor neighborhoods in Peru and providing health insurance and housing loans in Central America.Last year, President Obama announced a new Microfinance Growth Fund, which has committed more than $100 million to provide credit to individuals and small businesses, especially women.]If there is any question that this administration, along with former administrations, have no problem with illegal immigration, unsecured borders, issuing visas for foreign workers while Americans scrape for jobs, the words of Clinton should resolve all doubt. They are not only accepting of remittances draining the wealth out of our nation, they are endorsing it and looking for ways to exploit it.

And sounding like a true globalist, Clinton continues.

[But I am here with a very clear message: That the United States, the Obama Administration, President Obama and I personally are committed to a community focused on improving the material conditions of people’s lives, a community that recognizes and lifts up the diversity that we enjoy here in the Americas and translates it into a force for progress, because our hemisphere’s potential is vast.

So this is more than, at any time, a moment of opportunity for the Americas. But it is up to us to decide whether this moment will be seized or allowed to disappear. We have this moment of opportunity to consolidate democracy and economic growth, to play a role in solving regional and even global problems together, to deepen our progress and enhance our values, and to recognize we are interdependent and to use that interdependence to improve the future for our peoples. We want to elevate what is best about our shared past and rise above the acrimony that too often has interfered, even prevented us from moving forward.]It is essential to understand that when globalists speak of equality, they speak not of equal rights for citizens of the United States; they mean equality between states of the hemisphere. It is an embarrassment to the globalist, that the United States has such abundance, while other nations in the hemisphere have so little. In an effort to level the playing field, there must be redistribution. It matters not, whether it comes from giving foreign aid, arranging uneven trading practices to advantage poorer nations or leveraging remittances. All are a possibility for exploitation.Never mind the fact that the draining of our economy weakens the entire hemisphere. Globalists do not see American strength as a positive, but as a hindrance to social progressivism.
Macroeconomic equilibrium is the order of the day.

Clinton continues the progressive ideology below.

[President Obama and I share a strategic vision for our engagement in the hemisphere. We are working to build a network of partnerships for expanding opportunity and increasing social mobility. Now, we could endlessly debate the root causes of the lack of equality, but the way forward lies not in re-litigating the past, but in recognizing what works today to ameliorate inequality, to provide a model of what we can do that will give people not just hope, but the reality of a better life. There are also important models about how to attack the lack of opportunity directly. Conditional cash transfer programs in countries around the hemisphere have used welfare payments to advance health, education, and other development goals. Mexico and Brazil have both brought about significant reductions in poverty while raising school enrollment and improving health practices. Colombia has raised immunization rates and even increased the size of the average one-year-old in beneficiary households. And these programs are now being adapted for use in other countries, including my own, which has learned from the Brazilian, the Mexican, the Chilean, the Colombian experiences.]As the media continues propagandize for climate change and a green economy, as pundits try to convince our citizens that it is in our best interest to have a cap and tax Bill and as this current administration continues hell-bent on nationalizing key industries, keep Clinton’s following statement in mind.[Governments have also begun to improve their tax and budget practices. In Chile, money from the country’s copper fund has helped to pay for scholarships for children from the lower and middle classes. Peru has increased tax revenues to spend more on social programs and public goods like roads and schools. Brazil has one of the highest tax-to-GDP ratios in the world today, but the results speak for themselves. Brazil is an economy and a country on the move.]Such high praise for Brazil. What a shame Americans have other ideas to grow an economy and live as a free people. You can see the globalist’s dilemma.Why are our borders left unsecured? Why are illegal workers doing the jobs Americans would love to do, for a living wage? Why are visas still being given out by the thousands to foreign workers, while American children become homeless? Why the push to bring illegal aliens out of the shadows, and into the light?

Secretary Clinton’s next statement should answer many questions about why this administration, as with past administrations, continue to call for ‘comprehensive Immigration Reform’ which we are all aware means amnesty.[We need to ensure that more workers and businesses have access to jobs in the formal economy, reversing a steady increase in informality. In some places, it’s more than 50 percent. Now, informality means that workers remain isolated from credit and services. They often don’t pay taxes, and on average, they earn less. Businesses remain outside of regulatory structures and the tax system. Many of you have traveled throughout this region and elsewhere in the world. And it is amazing how hard people work. But often times, that work keeps them not in the economy but actually on the outside of the economy. And the society as a whole loses the benefits of that productivity]
In other words, they want the illegal aliens (in the shadows) to become legal workers, to add to the tax base, but also to encourage them to obtain credit, therefore paying interest, and enriching the banks.Unless Americans begin to accept that globalists are rampant throughout our government, our media, and our corporate world, we will never determine how to effectively elect American focused representatives. Illegal immigration is but a symptom of the globalist disease. I have included links to documents, websites and articles which may help to broaden your understanding of the complex issues we face. A structure has been built and fostered and is working against the sovereignty of our nation, and our citizens.

YOUR DEMOCRACY IN EUROPE - THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT OF SUPRANATIONAL DEMOCRACY FOR EUROPE BROUGHT LONG-LASTING PEACE TO THE CONTINENT. EU'S FOUNDER ROBERT SCHUMAN DESCRIBED DEMOCRACY AS BEING IN THE SERVICE OF THE PEOPLE AND ACTING IN AGREEMENT WITH THE PEOPLE. WHAT'S GOING ON TODAY? SEE ALSO WWW.SCHUMAN.INFO AND HTTP://DEMOCRACY.BLOGACTIV.EU .http://eurdemocracy.blogspot.com/ 01 JULY, 2010 Elections5 EU's Treaty Change Blitz is a blitz against open democracy.I must admit I was a bit surprised when I received a press release from the European Parliament last week. It said tersely:Communiqué de presse - 24.06.2010.Eighteen additional MEPs a step closer to starting work.

The 18 additional MEPs envisaged by the Lisbon Treaty are a step closer to starting work. The treaty change needed to enable them to do so was approved by Member State representatives at a brief Intergovernmental Conference on 23 June, after a green light from Parliament. The 18 MEPs can start work only after EU Member States have ratified the change (My emphasis)A Brief IGC - you're telling me. A tad secret too. I was well aware that the European Parliament was aiming to add a few party friends at public expense. That was expected. They even had a debate and a motion. Enlarging Parliament was part of the secret deal made as part of the secret negotiations for the Lisbon Treaty. (Secret because the public was not asked about it. It was an agreement between party political leaders who take extra public money without asking the public's permission.)All such agreements have to be agreed by the representatives of the nations. The public might like to ask: How would governments defend the extra expense at a time when governments of the PIGS are tottering trying to control their overspending and budget abuse.However, the Blitz Inter-Governmental Conference shot past me. I was glad I wasn't hit by the lightning. I attended the European Council on 17 June. I listened at the press conference. Not a whisper about an IGC. An obscure reference to one of its internal documents and necessary procedure is in the conclusions. For democrats debate is also a necessary procedure. By that I mean a debate between the politicals and the public, simply because a majority of the public has increasingly shown at elections its distrust for the politicals.(By politicals I mean the politicians, the parties and the political party systems that say they are representatives of the people but act against the people for their own career, financial or party advantage.)

So we have a secret, closed door European Council unwilling to have a public debate on vital matters of democracy. What does it do? Add further obscurity and secret meetings to avoid a public debate.Why? Were the politicians afraid they might get some awkward questions? It might seem a bit inopportune to publicise the increase in MEPs. People might also ask about why MEPs are also asking to spend more on assistants and other matters during a financial crisis. Others might askwhy more MEPs when at every election, more and more of the electorate is refusing to vote for any of them? At the Council building I did not find any communiqué later about this IGC. I asked the Council for the communiqué. I was told there wasn't one. An IGC took place with no one knowing about it. So-called democratic governments did not deem it necessary to tell anyone about the IGC. No press release was published after it took place. At least the EP debated it in public before grabbing more money.The IGC took place behind closed doors in the COREPER committee. This is a committee of civil servants called permanent representatives. They are not even politicians. They were talking secretly amongst themselves about something else that would affect the European public. Then they changed hats, declared an IGC, and pronounced a Treaty Change. That is the New Lisbon Democracy? Phew! Closed doors, civil servants making decisions on major issues, no press, no questions.An Inter-Governmental Conference used to mean something. Now it means a rubber stamp by bureaucrats. Thus the European Council is confirming its disdain for democracy. It is saying its version of democracy or rather its system is what we say it is. No open debates. Another word for that is autocracy.

I have a proposal. Now the Council has developed a lightning technique for European decisions, I would like to know if the national politicians can start to catch up on the backlog of duties. Some urgent Treaty implementations have been on ice for nearly sixty years.; The Six governments signed up to these promises in 1951 and 1957 and other States immediately on accession. These Treaty articles said surprisingly that the European Parliament should be European. That means Europe-wide elections under a single statute for all.A quick IGC could arrange that pan-European parliamentary statute. In other words the governments would forswear from cheating and having 27 national elections to the European Parliament. Each one is presently arranged according to national rules that curiously favour the main political parties in the State. A touch of honesty would therefore be helpful.The Treaty of Paris, the founding treaty of the European community and the two treaties of Rome all agree. There should be a single election where electors can vote for any candidate in any country of the Community. Each elector should have one vote not up to twelve as some are now allowed to have.The people must be free to choose to quote from Europe's founding Charter. Half a century ago, Schuman wrote: In the not too distant future it is necessary to provide for elections with direct universal suffrage of the members of the Assembly which will exercise the powers of control, in conformity with the Charter of the Community. Article 138 (of the Economic Community) moreover gives this Parliament the mandate to draw up such a such a draft electoral project. The statute must be uniform for all Member States. It is certain that people's consciousness of a united Europe would be intensified and be more physically manifested if it could be regularly affirmed by a vote across the entirety of Europe,(Pour l'Europe pp146-7)Come on Council of Ministers. We know you can do it! Try getting your democratic priorities right! And while the Council of Ministers is in the business of Blitz-IGCs, would it not be possible to give adequate notice so people could ask questions. And can the IGCs and the Council be open to the public as the Founding Fathers said they should be? Thank you, Council.

June 29, 2010, 9:38 am Russian spies, goldbugs and the struggling dollar
Was the alleged Russian spying, in part, a commodities or currency play?
by Heidi N. Moore, contributor


When federal officials arrested 11 alleged Russian spies yesterday, it seemed natural that the accused agents would be interested in the CIA leadership, the Obama administration and Afghanistan. But who knew that they were goldbugs? James G. Rickards, senior director for market intelligence at Omnis, pointed us to the fact that the FBI complaint mentions that the global gold market was one of the key sources of interest of the Russian Federation and its intelligence agency, SVR.On a number of occasions, the SVR specifically indicated that information collected and conveyed by the New Jersey conspirators was especially valuable. Thus, for example, during the summer and fall of 2009, Cynthia Murphy, the defendant, using contacts she had met in New York, conveyed a number of reports to [Moscow] Center about prospects for the global gold market.According to the complaint, the SVR responded in November 2009 that the information on the gold market was very useful and had been forwarded to Russia's Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Economic Development.

If Russia wanted information on the gold market, it would hardly be alone. In 2009, of course, gold jumped 24% in value, closing the year at $1,095 an ounce -- a price that seems quaint now that gold is over $1249 an ounce, but was still the biggest story in the financial markets of 2009.Murphy's alleged tips about the gold market must have been quite powerful. It's impossible to tell how they influenced Russian economic policy or thinking, but we can look at some of Russia's moves at the time and notice some striking trends that show that Russia dramatically reversed its stance on gold in late 2009.Before October 2009, Russia had been planning to sell nearly 25 tons of gold into the market. In November 2009, however, one month after Murphy's alleged report to the SVR about gold, Russia started stocking up on the precious metal. In November 2009, Russia's central bank bought more than $1 billion of gold from the foreign exchange market in order to better control the price of the ruble, central bank deputy chairman Alexey Ulyukayev told Reuters at the time. Russia also said at the time that it might buy gold from the state repository, Gokhran.Critics at the time noted that Russia's move into gold could be interpreted as a manifestation of disappointment with the U.S. dollar and U.S. economic policy under Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke; partly, this was because, as Russia was buying gold it also stopped buying U.S. agency mortgage bonds, the Fannie and Freddie bonds that packed over half of the Fed's balance sheet.

Of course, it's difficult to impute this shift solely to Russia (or Murphy's market tips). Yes, as of this year, the Russian central bank was still buying gold, loading up on 26.6 tons in the most recent quarter, bringing its holdings to over 668 tons. But Russia is hardly an outlier. The central banks of several countries have been loading up on the precious metal, including China, Venezuela and India, which on its own bought 200 tons in November 2009.The problem with all the gold buying, of course, is that it often reads as a global central bank reproach to several currencies, but particularly toward our troubled U.S. dollar. As the World Gold Council wrote in a February report on gold, currencies and the money supply, gold exhibits a strong negative correlation to the dollar.This is where central bank currency moves could get sinister. Rickards wrote a paper, Economics and Financial Attacks,and created an imaginary Pentagon war game describing a crisis situation in which Russia used its gold reserves to create a new global currency and destroy the value of the American dollar. In the May 2009 paper, Rickards suggested that U.S. intelligence agencies would do well to track the gold reserves of other countries -- just in case.--Heidi Moore is Sweeping the Street for the next two weeks while Colin Barr is on Vacation.

6 dead in Mexico in floods caused by Alex
Sat Jul 3, 12:52 am ET


MEXICO CITY – The death toll in Mexico from flooding caused by former Hurricane Alex has risen to six, authorities said Friday.Nuevo Leon state Civil Defense Director Jorge Camacho said the victims died in and around the northern city of Monterrey.

President Felipe Calderon toured damaged areas of the city where the force of flood waters had tossed and flipped cars and pickup trucks, and nearly buried houses in mud and rocks.Calderon said 1,200 soldiers had been dispatched to help in relief efforts.The city was hit by heavy rain on Thursday that swelled the Santa Catarina river, which is normally dry.The flooding damaged bridges in Monterrey as well as railway tracks in the region.Alex hit Mexico's Gulf coast on Wednesday as a Category 2 hurricane before weakening into a tropical storm while moving inland. It dissipated on Thursday.Alex had earlier battered Central America, causing flooding and rock-slides that killed two people in Guatemala and two in El Salvador.

Congo: UN says at least 220 dead in oil explosion By PATRICE CITERA AND TODD PITMAN, Associated Press Writers - JULY 3,10

KINSHASA, Congo – A fuel tanker flipped over and exploded into flames in eastern Congo overnight, killing at least 220 villagers and wounding more than 100 who had rushed in to siphon leaking liquid from the vehicle illegally, the U.N. and local officials said Saturday.The truck was transporting fuel from neighboring Tanzania when it overturned at high speed late Friday in the village of Sange, around 20 miles (30 kilometers) north of the town of Uvira near the Burundi border. Sange is located between Uvira and the Congolese provincial capital, Bukavu, further to the north.After the accident, people came out and tried to siphon the contents of the tanker,said Madnodje Mounoubai, a spokesman for the U.N. peacekeeping mission, which has rushed troops to help evacuate survivors.A fire started, and the people trying to siphon the fuel were killed or injured, Mounoubai told The Associated Press. Right now, we are talking about 220 dead and 111 wounded, but this is not the final toll. This is a very fluid situation.A U.N. helicopter has so far evacuated 35 wounded to Bukavu, Mounoubai said. Other peackeepers were taking more wounded to nearby hospitals by ambulance.Desire Yuma, a local Red Cross official in Bukavu, said Red Cross workers were still collecting charred bodies from the scene. The Red Cross says at 221 died and 214 were injured in the accident.

It was not immediately clear what caused the explosion.

Desperately poor people across Africa often descend quickly around damaged or disabled oil trucks leaking fuel on roads and highways, carting it away with plastic jugs, unaware of the danger of doing so.The worst tragedies have occurred in the West African nation of Nigeria, where thousands have died as crowds siphoned fuel illegally from ruptured or pierced oil pipelines that subsequently exploded.Pitman reported from Dakar, Senegal.

Canadians upbeat on economy but edgy on finances: RBC
By Ka Yan Ng – Fri Jul 2, 6:49 am ET


TORONTO (Reuters) – Canadians became slightly more positive about the economy in June, but were worried about personal savings and rising interest rates, a consumer confidence survey released by Royal Bank of Canada on Friday showed.The confidence report is one of several reports this week that have shown some cracks in popular sentiment toward economic recovery. A report from the Conference Board of Canada and a poll done by Angus Reid both showed consumer confidence falling in June.There's some indications of growing optimism on the overall state of the economy, said Paul Ferley, assistant chief economist at Royal Bank of Canada. But there are some growing concerns with respect to questions on personal wealth with the recent weakening in financial markets.In the RBC survey, sentiment about the Canadian economy swung higher, with 67 percent of respondents describing it as good, up from 54 percent in the last quarter.But respondents were less optimistic about the future with 55 percent saying they believe the national economy will improve over the next 12 months, down two points from March.Those offsetting factors left the overall RBC Canadian Consumer Outlook Index unchanged at 108 points in June, compared with a survey the bank did in March.

Worries about personal finances increased. The number of respondents who said their financial situation will improve in the next three months fell to 27 percent from 33 percent in March.Almost four in 10, or 37 percent, said they have less money left over after all their bills are paid, down 4 points from March. Twenty percent were concerned that this situation will worsen and felt their ability to save money for things like retirement or education was less than three months earlier.Two in three respondents, or 67 percent, said they were concerned about climbing interest rates, with 84 percent expecting increases over the next six months.The survey was taken just as the Bank of Canada raised interest rates for the first time since the onset of the recession.Economic data has been mixed in recent weeks, highlighting the fragility of the recovery. The latest disappointment was on Wednesday when Statistics Canada reported real gross domestic product was flat in April after seven straight months of expansion.The RBC index is based on an online survey of 3,229 Canadians, aged 18 and over, conducted between June 1 and June 8.(Reporting by Ka Yan Ng; editing by Peter Galloway)

Iran: Sanctions do not ban S-300 Russian missiles By ALBERT AJI, Associated Press Writer – Thu Jul 1, 11:39 am ET

DAMASCUS, Syria – A senior Iranian official said Thursday that new U.N. sanctions do not ban Russia from delivering sophisticated air defense missiles to Iran as agreed under a 2007 contract, countering the Russian stance.Iran's Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said the contract for delivery of the powerful S-300 air defense missiles to Iran was concluded before the U.N. Security Council approved new sanctions last month.The contract for Russian S-300 missiles was concluded before last U.N. Security Council (resolution). It is an old contract, therefore it has nothing to do with the ... (new) resolution. Moreover, it is a defensive weapon, Larijani told reporters on a visit to Damascus.Last month, the Russian government said the new U.N. sanctions prevent Russia from delivering S-300 missiles to Iran.Speaking to reporters in Damascus on Thursday, Larijani denied any tension between Iran and Russia but added there were some fluctuations in Russia's position toward Iran.

Russia supported a fourth round of U.N. sanctions imposed last month to curtail Iran's nuclear program, because of concerns it is developing weapons. Iran insists its nuclear development program is for peaceful goals.But Russia criticized additional U.S. and EU sanctions against Iran, hitting more than three dozen additional companies and individuals. Russia said the West went too far with additional penalties.Israel and the United States have long urged Russia not to give Iran the powerful ground-to-air missile system. Russia signed a deal to sell the missiles in 2007 but delayed their delivery even before the latest sanctions were approved.The truck-mounted S-300 missiles can target aircraft, low-flying cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, according to weapons experts.Larijani said at the news conference in Damascus Thursday that the new U.N. sanctions would affect his country very little.He also said the U.S. would not attack Iran because of its bitter experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan.The U.S. language of arrogance has come to an end. It has cost the Americans a lot,Larijani said.

Netanyahu rules out apology to Turkey over deadly raid
by Charly Wegman – Fri Jul 2, 3:18 pm ET


JERUSALEM (AFP) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday praised secret talks with Ankara aimed at mending ties after a deadly raid on a Gaza-bound Turkish aid ship but ruled out any apology.On May 31, Israeli special forces stormed a flotilla of six ships carrying aid for blockaded Gaza, killing nine Turks on board one of the vessels and sparking international outrage and straining ties with one-time ally Ankara.Israel cannot apologise because its soldiers had to defend themselves to avoid being lynched by a crowd, Netanyahu said in an interview with Channel 1 public television.We regret the loss of life, Netanyahu said.The raid on the Mavi Marmara Turkish-owned ferry killed eight Turks and a dual US-Turkish citizen, prompting Ankara to recall its ambassador from Tel Aviv and cancel three planned joint military exercises.Netanyahu's remarks come two days after Trade Minister Benjamin Ben Eliezer and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu held secret talks in Brussels, to try and ease the feud sparked by the deadly raid.

Netanyahu praised the talks.This meeting was important in itself. It is important for Turkey and for Israel that such meetings take place to prevent the deterioration of relations,he said.Davutoglu told Ben Eliezer in Brussels that Turkey demanded an apology for the bloodshed and that Israel should compensate the families of the victims as well as agree to an international inquiry into the raid, Turkish foreign ministry spokesman Burak Ozugergin has said.But Netanyahu said that no compensation has been discussed and insisted that a commission set up by Israel to investigate the raid meets the demands of the international community for an investigation.
Israel has resisted calls for an international probe into the raid, but appointed a commission of inquiry headed by a retired Supreme Court judge with two international observers.This commission has asked for widespread prerogatives and we have agreed to its request because we have nothing to hide,said Netanyahu.The Israeli military also has launched its own internal investigation.Israel has defended the raid by its special forces saying it had to stop vessels from travelling to Gaza since they could be carrying weapons for the Islamist Hamas rulers of the blockaded coastal enclave.Meanwhile, the Brussels talks have sparked tensions in Israel as it emerged that Netanyahu gave the go-ahead for the meeting without informing hardline Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.

On Friday, Netanyahu met Lieberman to mend ties.At the meeting, Lieberman reiterated that he does not want Israel to apologise or pay the compensation Turkey is seeking, saying it would harm Israel's international standing, an official said.Elsewhere, Netanyahu said that during a visit to Washington next week for talks with US President Barack Obama he will discuss Iran's nuclear programme and peace talks with the Palestinians. I will do everything possible to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and to promote the peace process,with the Palestinians, Netanyahu said of his July 6 talks with Obama. Netanyahu had to cancel a scheduled meeting with Obama to return home after the deadly May 31 raid.US State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said on Thursday that he anticipated Netanyahu would give Obama a report on the early stages of the Israeli investigation into the flotilla tragedy.
