INSIDE THE EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION: VIOLENCE IS RISING BECAUSE THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IS COOPTING THE MOVEMENT: An analysis of the rapidly changing dynamicPosted: January 30, 2011 by joelcrosenberg

In the past several days, the dynamic of the protests in Egypt has changed rapidly, and not for the better. What started out as a genuine and positive pro-freedom movement is being steadily coopted by the Muslim Brotherhood and other violent and extremist forces. There is now a growing risk that the overthrow of the Mubarak regime could lead either to an authoritarian military regime, or a Radical Islamist regime. We must pray neither scenario comes to pass. The people of Egypt would be further oppressed. The U.S., Israel and the West would be endangered. Bottom line: This is a very complex and fast-moving crisis, and it could get much worse.

Let me explain and put the situation in some context.In my 2009 non-fiction book Inside The Revolution: Why the followers of Jihad, Jefferson and Jesus are battling to dominate the Middle East and take over the world, I outlined a range of players in the region, who they are and what they want:

•The Radicals are extremist Muslims who want to overthrow every regime from North Africa to the Middle East to Central Asia and replace them with Islamist dictatorships who believe that Islam is the answer and jihad is the way. These include groups such as al Qaeda, Iranian Twelvers, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the like.
•The Reformers are moderate Muslims who say, Islam is the answer, but jihad is not the way; we need more freedom, more openness, more protection of human rights and civil rights, free elections, free markets, and the creation of full-blown Jeffersonian democracies, if at all possible. In this group historically have been Kemal Mustafa Ataturk (the founder of modern, democratic Turkey; though sadly Turkey is now moving away from his model); Egyptian President Anwar Sadat (who made peace with Israel but was then assassinated by Radicals); Jordanian Kings Hussein (the father, who made peace with Israel and initiated a democratically elected parliament while retaining his authority as monarch) and Abdullah II (the son and current monarch who has been advancing his father’s reforms incrementally); Morrocan King Mohammed VI; the current leaders of Iraq such as President Jalal Talabani and Nouri al-Maliki; and the popular pro-democracy movement in Iran that we saw take to the streets by the millions last summer)
•The Revivalists are former Muslims who say, Islam is not the answer, jihad is not the way, Jesus is the way — and the only way for our part of the world to move forward and make real and lasting social, economic and spiritual progress is to skip back in our history before Islam and revive what we once had: first century, New Testament, Biblical Christianity.These followers of Jesus Christ in the Islamic world tend to be apolitical and are focused on evangelism, discipleship, church planting, pastor training and spiritual renewal. By using dual strategies of an air war (satellite TV, radio and the Internet) and a ground war (especially the house church movement), their numbers have swelled into the millions since 1979, despite widespread (and recently intensifying) persecution. I profile a number of their leaders in the book, though few of them are known by name in the West.
These first three are the revolutionary forces in the region, people and movements who advocate and push for dramatic, sweeping change.

Then there is another set of important players:

•The Resisters tend to be secular Arab nationalist leaders who oppose significant change of almost any kind. They may be Muslims but they certainly aren’t revolutionaries. They don’t want to build an Islamic empire. They want to build their own empires. They want to hold onto the power, wealth and prestige that they currently have, and gain more if they can. They strongly oppose revolutionary movements of all kinds. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is a classic Resister. So are leaders like Syrian President Bashar Assad, Libyan leader Moammar Ghadaffi, the leaders of Saudi Arabia, and so forth. Previously, Saddam Hussein fell into this camp.
•The Reticent tend to be weak-willed Arab leaders who seem constantly pulled in opposite directions. They don’t have strong convictions. At times they seem to want peace with Israel, for example, and even a modicum of political or social reform, but then other forces push back at them and they waffle or change their tune. At the moment, Palestinian Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is the best example of a Reticent leader. He has been offered historic deals by recent Israeli Prime Ministers to make peace and create a Palestinian state and have dramatic economic change and growth. He has occassionally shown real interest in positive change, but has never had the courage to say yes.
•Finally, and most importantly, are the Rank-and-File — these are the billion-plus everyday Muslims citizens who work hard, play by the rules, are trying to find decent jobs to feed and educate their families. They aren’t revolutionaries. They long for more freedom and opportunity, but mainly they keep their heads down and try not to be noticed and not be interfered with. They are the audience to which the revolutionaries are playing. They are watching the battle between the Radicals and the Reformers, and they are increasingly curious about the message of the Revivalists. And some of them are making their move and joining one of the revolutionary movements.
That said, let’s focus again on the crisis at hand. What we are witnessing in Egypt is an historic clash between true Reformer Muslims who want free elections and free markets, and Radical Muslims who want to use the protests to overthrow the Mubarak regime and install a violent, extremist Islamist government. The Revivalists in Egypt are, for the most part, staying underground. True to their nature, they are remaining apolitical and are devoting themselves to much prayer for the future of their country and the souls of their friends and neighbors.

For the first first few days of last week, most of the initial protestors on the streets of Egypt were peaceful, respectful, somewhat educated, and poor to middle class. I believe they were genuinely calling for an end to the Mubarak regime’s corruption and authoritarian rule in order to achieve more freedom, more opportunity, a better economy, more and better jobs, and a democratic government that would respect and protect their human rights and civil rights and set them free from the stagnant, stultified, oppressive Egyptian system they have suffered under for so long.However, beginning on Thursday and accelerating throughout the day on Friday, the situation began to change dramatically.The leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood (which began in Egypt in the 1920) had initially been caught off guard by sudden and intense rise of the protests and had not been involved in planning or developing these protests. But sensing an opportunity, they decided to move decisively and try to coopt the movement for their own purposes. They mobilized their followers throughout the country and told them to take to the streets. That’s when the complexion of the protests took a turn for the worse, characterized by:

•Violent attacks directed at the police – Agence France Presse reported on Saturday that an estimated 60 percent of Egyptian police stations have been set on fire
•Rioting, instead of mere protesting
•The emergence of gangs on the streets wielding machetes and knives
•Government office buildings being set on fire
•Cars being set on fire
•The looting of the Egyptian Museum, with vandals ripping the heads off of two ancient mummies
•Looting of shops, businesses and homes
•Muslim Brotherhood members escaping from prison –[see this article as well]
•A rising civilian death toll as the police have been forced to defend themselves and protect other citizens — as of Sunday, there were more than 100 people dead, and more than 2,000 wounded.These are not the actions of a true pro-freedom movement. Almost none of this happened last summer when millions of Iranians took to the streets to protest the fraudulent re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. To the contrary, the Iranian people, to their great credit, initiated what was overwhelming a classic non-violent, principled protest movement against the Radical regime.

President Mubarak’s response to the protests has been badly overdone and typically authoritarian — shutting down the Internet, blocking social media like Facebook and Twitter, and now blocking even the Al Jazeera satellite TV network. What’s more, the police and army at times have been thuggish and brutal (though not always; their have been fascinating reports of policemen and soldiers embracing the protestors, encouraging them even).So I find myself in a quandary. I strongly support the right of the Egyptian people to have free elections and free markets and true opportunity in the 21st century. What’s more, I want the Church to be free to share the gospel and win Muslims to faith in Jesus Christ, make disciples and plant new congregations without government oppression and without violent attacks by Radical Muslims. I do believe Mubarak has stayed too long. He has not responded to the yearning of the Egyptian people to be free. His day is coming to an end.That said, however, I don’t want to see the Muslim Brotherhood win. For all of Mubarak’s sins, he is not a Radical. He doesn’t want to launch a jihad against the U.S., Israel or the West. He has maintained the peace treaty with Israel. He has worked to counter the Hamas movement in Gaza. He is strongly opposed to the Iranian nuclear weapons program and has worked closely with the West to counter it. The Obama administration needs to be careful to support positive change in Egypt and support human rights there, without cutting the legs out from underneath Mubarak precipitously, the way President Carter did to the Shah of Iran in 1979. The Shah had his many flaws, no question about it. But Carter’s actions helped trigger the Islamic Revolution and led to the rise of the Ayatollah Khomeini, the loss of an American ally, and the rise of a terror-exporting country that has gained in lethality ever since. We dare not make the same mistakes with Egypt.

I am praying, therefore, that the Lord would be merciful to the people of Egypt, and that He would give wisdom to Mr. Mubarak and his senior advisors. My ideal at this point is that Mubarak would hand the keys to the kingdom to a group of Reformers, men truly committed to steadily expanding hope, growth and opportunity for all their people, and doing so in a way that creates order and stability, not an opening for the Muslim Brotherhood to seize control. This will not be easy. I am not convinced Egypt spymaster-turned-new-Vice President Omar Suleiman is the man to accomplish this. But I know that ultimately the Lord is in charge, and this — and nothing else — is what should give us all hope.As the Hebrew Prophet Daniel once said while living under a brutal Middle Eastern dictator:

Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever,
For wisdom and power belong to Him.
It is He who changes the times and the epochs;
He removes kings and establishes kings;
He gives wisdom to wise men
And knowledge to men of understanding.(Daniel 2:20-21)

Fighter jets swoop over Cairo in show of force By HAMZA HENDAWI and MAGGIE MICHAEL, Associated Press - JAN 30,2011

CAIRO – Fighter jets swooped low over Cairo Sunday in what appeared to be an attempt by the military to assert control of a city beset by looting, armed robbery and anti-government protests.Minutes before the start of a 4 p.m. curfew, at least two jets made multiple passes over downtown, including a central square where thousands of Egyptians were calling for the departure of President Hosni Mubarak.Police could be seen returning to some streets nearly two days after they virtually disappeared, creating a security vacuum only partially filled by the presence of army troops backed by tanks at key sites around this city of 18 million people.The army made no attempt to disperse some 5,000 protesters gathered at Tahrir Square, which protesters have occupied since Friday afternoon in violation of a nighttime curfew. The military has been generally welcomed by demonstrators across Cairo, unlike the widely despised police.Nobel Peace laureate and democracy advocate Mohamed ElBaradei appeared in the square around 7 p.m., live television footage showed.On the first day of trading across the Mideast after a weekend of violent protests, nervous investors drove stocks down sharply, and crowds filled Cairo International Airport, desperate and unable to leave.

Banks were closed on orders from Egypt's Central Bank, and the country's stock market was shut on what is normally the first day of the trading week.Gangs of armed men attacked at least four jails across Egypt before dawn, helping to free hundreds of Muslim militants and thousands of other inmates. Gangs of young men with guns and large sticks smashed cars and robbed people in Cairo.An unprecedented Internet cutoff remained in place after the country's four primary Internet providers stopped moving data in and out of the country early Friday in an apparent move by authorities to disrupt the organization of demonstrations blaming Mubarak's regime for poverty, unemployment, widespread corruption and police brutality.ElBaradei called on American television for Mubarak to step down, telling CBS' Face the Nation that, He absolutely has to leave ... The American government cannot ask the Egyptian people to believe that a dictator who has been in power for 30 years will be the one to implement democracy.Egyptian mobile-phone networks were back up but with text-messaging widely disrupted. Because of its ability to reach many people with a single message, text messaging has been a tool of protesters across the world.The official death toll from five days of growing crisis stood at 74, with thousands injured.The U.S. Embassy in Cairo told its citizens in Egypt to consider leaving the country as soon as possible, and said it had authorized the voluntary departure of dependents and non-emergency employees, a display of Washington's escalating concern about the stability of its closest Arab ally.Private tour groups and corporations began trying to evacuate their clients and expatriate employees. But dozens of flights were canceled and delayed.Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. expects that the protests in Egypt will lead to free and fair elections as part of an orderly transition to real democracy.

I want the Egyptian people to have a chance to chart a new future, she said. It's not a question of who retains power ... It's how are we going to respond to the legitimate needs and grievances expressed by the Egyptian people.Israel's prime minister told his Cabinet that he was anxiously following the crisis, saying in his first public comments on the situation that Israel's three-decade-old peace agreement with Egypt must be preserved.After a night of violence in many cities across Egypt, the army sent hundreds more troops and armored vehicles onto the streets starting Sunday morning. State television showed Defense Minister Hussein Tantawi in green fatigues outside the state TV headquarters in downtown Cairo, speaking with soldiers and civilian onlookers.Truckloads of hundreds of police poured back into Cairo neighborhoods Sunday afternoon and took up positions on the streets.In some spots, they were jeered by residents who chanted anti-police slogans and demanded that they only be allowed to deploy jointly with the military.In one part of Tahrir Square, soldiers working with civilian protester volunteers were even checking IDs and bags of people arriving at the square, saying they were searching for weapons and making sure plainclothes police did not enter the square.The army is protecting us, they won't let police infiltrators sneak in! one volunteer shouted.

Then, as the curfew loomed, the jets roared over the Nile and toward Tahrir Square in the heart of Cairo, where thousands of protesters have gathered each day to demand the end of the administration.The jets made several passes over the square, dropping lower every time and setting off alarms in parked cars.Some protesters clapped and waved to them while others jeered.This is terrorism, they are trying to scare the people with the planes and the tanks. They are trying to make people afraid and leave the square, said Gamal Ahmed, a 40-year-old air-conditioning technician.Lines of army tanks jammed a road leading into Tahrir, and a military helicopter hovered overhead.Massive trucks and cranes moved 3-foot-high (meter-high) concrete barriers in front of the foreign ministry in central Cairo near the Nile.

Troops in full combat gear and half a dozen armored personnel carriers guarded one of the largest symbols of the government.Mubarak, 82, perpetuated the overriding role of military men in Egyptian politics by naming his intelligence chief, former army general Omar Suleiman, to the new role of vice president on Saturday. Ahmed Shafiq, the outgoing civil aviation minister and Mubarak fellow former air force officer, was named prime minister.State TV Sunday showed images of Mubarak during what it said was a visit to the country's military command center. The president looked somber and fatigued in his first public appearance since he addressed the nation late Friday to promise reform and annouce the dismissal of his Cabinet. The brief footage appeared designed to project an image of normalcy.Egyptian security officials said that overnight armed men fired at guards in gun battles that lasted hours at the four prisons including one northwest of Cairo that held hundreds of militants. The prisoners escaped after starting fires and clashing with guards. Those who fled included 34 members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest and best organized opposition group. The Muslim Brotherhood's lawyer, Abdel-Monaem Abdel-Maqsoud, told The Associated Press the 34 were among scores rounded up by authorities ahead of the large anti-government demonstrations on Friday. The escapees included at least seven senior members of the group.

The security officials said several inmates were killed and wounded, but gave no specific figures. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share the information with the media.The officials told The Associated Press that army troops were hunting for the escaped prisoners, in some cases with the help of the police. State television also showed footage of what it said was dozens of prisoners recaptured by the army troops, squatting on dirt while soldiers kept watch over them.In the southern city of Assiut, officials said riot police stormed the city's main prison to quell a prison riot, using tear gas and batons against inmates. An Associated Press reporter saw army tanks were deployed outside the prison, on bridges straddling the Nile and at the police headquarters.Thousands of Alexandrians met to pray in downtown Alexandria, a Mediterranean port city that is a stronghold of the Muslim Brotherhood. After prayers, the crowd marched towards the city's old mosque to pray for the souls of those who died in the protests.

Egyptian mobile networks were back up after days of cutoffs but with text-messaging widely disrupted. Blackberry Messenger and mobile Internet services were operating sporadically.The pan-Arab broadcaster Al-Jazeera said that Egyptian authorities ordered the closure of its Cairo news hub overseeing coverage of the country's massive street protests, denouncing the move as an attempt to stifle and repress open reporting.The Qatar-based network has given nearly round-the-clock coverage to the unprecedented uprising against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and had faced criticism by some government supporters and other Arab leaders as a forum to inspire more unrest.Sarah El Deeb and Diaa Hadid contributed to this report.

Civilians watch over neighborhoods in Egypt chaos By MARJORIE OLSTER, Associated Press - JAN 30,2011

CAIRO – When Egypt's police melted from the streets of Cairo this weekend, the people stepped in.Civilians armed with knives, axes, golf clubs, firebombs, metal bars and makeshift spears watched over many neighborhoods in the sprawling capital of 18 million this weekend, defending their families and homes against widespread looting and lawlessness.The thugs had exploited the chaos created by the largest anti-government protests in decades and the military failed to fill the vacuum left by police.On Saturday, the army sent out an appeal for citizens to help.The military encourages neighborhood youth to defend their property and their honor, it said in a statement.On Sunday, joint teams of civilians and military were patrolling, some with guard dogs.Mohammed Gafaar, a 34-year old salesman in the Nasr City area, said his neighborhood watch organized soon after the night curfew went into force at 4 p.m. They did it at the behest of residents, who appealed for protection of their property, sending out the call from the local mosque.I feel betrayed by the police, said Gaafar, who had carried rocks, a stick and a firebomb in a soda bottle. They have to be tried for the protesters they killed and for their treason. They left the country to be looted. I am angry at the regime.Akram al-Sharif, a 33-year old Cairo resident who lives in one of the affluent compounds in the city's west at the edge of the desert, said locals hired twenty bedouins with guns, and organized into groups to protect the five gates of the compound.I am happy this is happening. There was solidarity, he said. But he criticized the military for failing to protect private property.

The troubles began after days of protests calling for the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak reached a crescendo Friday, when tens of thousands poured into the streets after noon prayers in the city's 3,000 mosques. The protests quickly spiraled into clashes with riot police, who fired countless canisters of tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons and beat the demonstrators with sticks.By Friday night, protesters had set fire to the ruling party headquarters along the Nile in central Cairo and the first reports of looting emerged — people making off with electric fans and televisions from the burning complex. Mubarak ordered the military into the streets for the first time to try to control the escalating turmoil.On Saturday, the tens of thousands of police who normally patrol the streets vanished. Security officials, asked why they disappeared, said that remained unclear. But the police, who are hated by many, may have been seen as just fanning the flames.Throughout the day, shops and malls were ransacked and burned, and residents of affluent neighborhoods began reporting burglaries by gangs of thugs roaming the streets with knives and guns. By mid-afternoon, shopowners and residents were boarding up their stores and houses.Gangs of armed men attacked jails, sending thousands of inmates into the unpoliced streets.As night fell, the neighborhood watches took up where the police left off.In the affluent neighborhood of Zamalek, where many foreigners live and embassies are located, groups of young men, some as large as 40 people, set up barricades on every street entrance to the island in the middle of the Nile.In other neighborhoods, residents wore arm bands to identify each other and prevent infiltrators from coming into their midst. In Zamalek, a handwritten announcement hanging on a street window asked people to register their names for neighborhood defense committees.

Watch groups armed themselves with a makeshift arsenal of shovels, baseball bats, whips, and the occasional shotgun. Young men organized themselves into shifts, and locals brought tea and other snacks.We have these firebombs, just in case, said Amm Saleh, the doorman of a building in Zamalek. Some of these thugs are armed with knives and guns, so we have to be able to defend ourselves, he added, showing off a line of kerosene-filled bottles with paper wicks ready for action. Neighborhood guardians set up metal barricades and stopped cars, questioning them about their destinations and street addresses and sometimes searching them. With many roads blocked, drivers went the wrong way on largely empty one-way streets to get around.

Long after midnight, gunshots rang out on a scenic street along the Nile, near the Indian embassy and the Algerian ambassador's residence. One youth said the neighborhood watch confronted the passengers of a car, one with a firearm, and persuaded them to leave.Residents said they were filled with pride to see Egyptians looking out for each other in a society where many, if not most, struggle just to subsist.Gaafar, the salesman, had returned from Dubai to take part in the protests. He said he feels sad at how things turned out, but believes it won't deter people from continuing to protest.This has brought out the best in people, he said.There were people who were much younger than me who have never come across gunfire before... They looked scared. But they were still standing. Everyone was so brave.As the curfew began at 4 p.m. Sunday, police were seen returning to some neighborhoods and working in tandem with the army to try to restore a sense of security.

PROPHETS PORTION

1 KINGS 5:12-6:13
12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.
15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
16 Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
2 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
3 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
4 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
5 And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
6 The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
8 The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
9 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
10 And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
12 Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.

NEW TESTAMENT PORTION

HEBREWS 8:1-6
1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

HEBREWS 9:23-24
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

HEBREWS 10:1
1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

RADICAL MUSLIMS INFILTRATE EGYPT PROTESTS

ISAIAH 19:1-25
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.(ETHNIC TRIBE AGAINST ETHNIC TRIBE)
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.(THEY WILL SEEK MEDIUMS-OCCULTISTS)
4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
6 And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
7 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.
10 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.
11 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? (THESE LAST VERSES SEEM TO SAY THAT EGYPT IS DECIEVED BY THE ISLAMIC RELIGION TO ME)(VERSES 11-14)
12 Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.
14 The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.(NO WORK-THATS WHY THESE RIOTS IN EGYPT NOW)
16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it.
17 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.
18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
21 And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it.
22 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.

ISAIAH 20:1-6
1 In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;
2 At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
3 And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;
4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
5 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
6 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?

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.

Egypt turmoil rattles Middle East stock markets By ADAM SCHRECK, AP Business Writer - JAN 30,11

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Investors nervous about the instability gripping Egypt drove stocks down sharply across the Middle East as markets reopened Sunday following a weekend of violent protests.The losses, led by a drop of more than 4 percent in the business hub of Dubai, reflect concerns the unrest that has roiled the Arab world's most populous country and nearby Tunisia could spread, jeopardizing the economic recovery across the region.There's this contagion effect, where investors are thinking: Well, is this going to spread out across the Arab world? said Haissam Arabi, chief executive of Gulfmena Alternative Investments, a fund management firm in Dubai.The benchmark index for the Dubai Financial Market tumbled 4.3 percent to close at 1,543.02.Among the biggest losers in Dubai were real estate developer Emaar Properties, the builder of the world's tallest tower, which sank 8.3 percent to 3.11 dirhams (85 cents). Shares of discount carrier Air Arabia, which is growing its operations in Egypt, dropped 6.1 percent to 0.79 dirhams (22 cents).

Abu Dhabi's main index sank 3.7 percent to close at 2,561.06.Shares of the exchange's biggest loser, Emirati natural gas producer Dana Gas, plunged 9.9 percent to finish at 0.64 dirhams (17 cents) despite assurances that its Egyptian operations haven't been stopped amid the protests.Dana Gas Egypt is continuing with routine operations, and the production has not been affected by the current events in Egypt, CEO Ahmed al-Arbeed said in a statement.

Most other regional markets also fell.

Kuwait shares dropped 1.8 percent to close at 6,822. Qatar's benchmark index slumped 3 percent to 8,709.77.Saudi Arabia was the only major market to post gains, but they fell short of offsetting steep losses the previous day. The kingdom's Tadawul All Shares Index was up 2.5 percent to 6,425.39 in afternoon trading Sunday.Saudi shares fell 6.4 percent to close at 6,267 points on Saturday, when it became the first major Arab market to reopen for business following widespread Egyptian protests that intensified Friday.

Armed gangs free Muslim militants in Egypt By HAMZA HENDAWI and MAGGIE MICHAEL, Associated Press - JAN 30,2011

CAIRO – Gangs of armed men attacked at least four jails across Egypt before dawn Sunday, helping to free hundreds of Muslim militants and thousands of other inmates as police vanished from the streets of Cairo and other cities.The U.S. Embassy in Cairo told its citizens in Egypt to consider leaving the country as soon as possible, and said it had authorized the voluntary departure of dependents and non-emergency employees, a display of Washington's escalating concern about the stability of its closest Arab ally.The army sent hundreds more troops and armored vehicles onto the streets of Cairo and other cities but appeared to be taking little action against gangs of young men with guns and large sticks who were smashing cars and robbing people.At least one Nile-side shopping mall in Cairo was on fire after being looted the previous day.The Arab world's most populous nation appeared to be swiftly moving closer to a point at which it either dissolves into widespread chaos or the military expands its presence and control of the streets.A broader and tougher military role could be welcomed by increasingly fearful Egyptians but would run a risk of appearing to place the army on the side of the regime and antagonizing protesters.

The demonstrators from all segments of Egyptian society have taken to the streets for nearly a week calling for President Hosni Mubarak to step down. Mubarak named his intelligence chief Omar Suleiman to the new role of vice president on Saturday but many protesters said they wanted the complete removal of an administration they blame for poverty, unemployment, widespread corruption and police brutality.The army appeared to be taking tougher action on some streets by early Sunday afternoon.At Tahrir Square in the heart of Cairo, two soldiers standing guard next to a tank were working with several young men in civilian clothes to check the IDs and bags of hundreds of arriving protesters.They found a kitchen knife hidden in a plastic bag carried by a man in his 20s as he attempted to enter the square. The soldiers wrestled the man to the ground, beat him and put him inside their tank.Some 4,000 protesters chanted slogans against Mubarak in the square, the main gathering point for protesters since anti-government demonstrations began Tuesday, emboldened by Tunisians' success in driving out their president earlier in the month.Army helicopters were flying low over Cairo and entire neighborhoods remained without any troops two days after Mubarak called the army out on the streets. But many Cairo neighborhoods and other parts of the country remain untouched by looting or street crime.President Barack Obama met with security aides Saturday afternoon and issued a plea for government restraint in Egypt, where Washington has long feared increasing influence by Muslim militants.Egyptian security officials said that overnight armed men fired at guards in gun battles that lasted hours at the four prisons including one northwest of Cairo that held hundreds of militants. The prisoners escaped after starting fires and clashing with guards.

Those who fled included 34 members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest and best organized opposition group. The Muslim Brotherhood's lawyer, Abdel-Monaem Abdel-Maqsoud, told The Associated Press the 34 were among scores rounded up by authorities ahead of the large anti-government demonstrations on Friday. The escapees included at least seven senior members of the group.The Egyptian security officials said several inmates were killed and wounded, but gave no specific figures. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share the information with the media.Looting and arson continued until dawn as the police totally disappeared from the streets of the capital and several major Egyptian cities. There was no explanation for why the police vanished.The vacuum left by their melting away has prompted residents to form neighborhood protection groups, armed with firearms, sticks and clubs. The citizens set up self-styled checkpoints and barricades and used bricks and metal traffic barriers to block off side streets.Groups of youths also directed traffic in parts of Cairo, chasing away the gangs of criminals smashing passing cars. Residents said gangs were also stopping people on the streets and robbing them.In the upscale neighborhood of Zamalek, long lines formed at shops and grocery stores as Egyptians tried to stock up on food, water and other supplies. Stores appeared to be running short of most items, especially bottled water. At one store, water was selling for three times the normal rate.State Egyptian television, meanwhile, said authorities have decided to close down the Cairo offices of the Qatar-based Al-Jazzera television and suspend the accreditation of its reporters.The Egyptian TV did not give a reason for the move, but Egyptian authorities have often in the past charged that the station's coverage of events in Egypt was sensational or biased against Mubarak's regime. Sarah ElDeeb contributed to this report.

Jordan's opposition: Arabs will topple tyrants
JAN 29,11

AMMAN, Jordan – The leader of Jordan's powerful Muslim Brotherhood has warned that unrest in Egypt will spread across the Mideast and Arabs will topple their tyrant leaders allied with the U.S.Hammam Saeed says Arabs have grown disgruntled with U.S. domination of their oil wealth, military occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and its support for totalitarian leaders in the region.Saeed did not specifically name Jordanian King Abdullah II — a key U.S. ally who has promised reforms in recent days in an apparent attempt to quell domestic discontent over economic troubles and a lack of political freedoms.Saeed spoke Saturday at a rally he and some 100 leftists held outside the Egyptian Embassy in Amman.The rally called on Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to step down.

Egypt's Mubarak names vice president for 1st time By MAGGIE MICHAEL and DIAA HADID, Associated Press - SAT JAN 29,11

CAIRO – Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak named a vice president Saturday for the first time since coming to power nearly 30 years ago. It was a clear step toward setting up a successor in the midst of the biggest challenge ever to his rule from tens of thousands of anti-government protesters.Mubarak named his intelligence chief and close confidant Omar Suleiman, state television reported.Mubarak was widely seen as grooming his son Gamal to succeed him, possibly even as soon as in presidential elections planned for later this year. However, there was significant public opposition to the hereditary succession.Suleiman has been in charge of some of Egypt's most sensitive foreign policy issues, including the Palestinian-Israeli peace process and inter-Palestinian divisions.His appointment as vice president answers one of the most intriguing and most enduring political questions in Egypt: who would succeed the 82-year-old Mubarak? Like Mubarak, Suleiman has a military background. The powerful military has provided Egypt with its four presidents since the monarchy was toppled nearly 60 years ago.

Egypt unrest rattles tourists By TAREK EL-TABLAWY, AP Business Writer - JAN 29,11

CAIRO – Foreign tourists and Egyptians flocked to Cairo's main airport on Saturday, scrambling to find flights out of the country as days of often violent protests that forced the resignation of the government showed few signs of abating.Israeli carrier El Al was trying to arrange a special flight Saturday to take roughly 200 Israeli tourists out of the country, a Cairo International Airport official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media. Israel's embassy in Egypt declined to comment.The efforts came as between 1,500 and 2,000 travelers were at the airport's two main departure terminals, most without reservations and frantic to find any available seats of outbound flights. But the bid could prove difficult, if not futile, as some European and U.S. airlines began to announce cancelations or suspensions of service to Cairo and Egypt's national carrier was said to be experiencing lengthy delays.

EgyptAir had suspended overnight departures Friday because of a government-imposed curfew. The carrier had yet to take a similar step Saturday, though the expansion of that curfew to between 4 p.m. and 8 a.m. made it increasingly unlikely that travelers would be able to head to the airport for evening flights.German carrier Lufthansa said it had canceled both of its two scheduled flights to Cairo on Saturday. Air Berlin canceled one flight to Cairo. U.S. carrier Delta Airlines, which flies direct to Cairo from the U.S., said service to and from Cairo would be indefinitely suspended as a result of civil unrest.The violence that gripped Cairo, the Egyptian capital, and several other cities over the past few days has presented President Hosni Mubarak with the biggest challenge of his nearly 30-year rule. The protesters are demanding his ouster and that measures be taken to address rampant poverty and corruption, the rising cost of living and the growing disparity in income distribution.But the protests threaten to undercut one of Egypt's key foreign revenue generators — tourism, which accounts for about 11 percent of Egypt's gross domestic product. Tourism brought in over $9 billion for Egypt in the first nine months of 2010 and $10.8 billion the year before.

Egypt's military closed off access to the pyramids in Giza — with tanks and armored personnel carriers sealing off the site on the Giza Plateau. The area is normally packed with tourists and is a main draw for those who come to Cairo.The move — aimed at ensuring the tourists' security — was likely to be seen as another worrying indicator in a nation that until earlier this week had been a pillar of stability in a trouble-prone region.Officials said that about 40 percent of the throngs of travelers at the airport were Egyptians, with the rest Westerners and other Arabs. It remained unclear what options were available to them given the limited flights.
EgyptAir flights were running late, in some cases because crew were unable to reach the airport, or were worried about the drive to the facility, said the airport official.The United States on Friday had cautioned its citizens to avoid nonessential travel to Egypt and urged those already in the country to remain at home or in their hotels. The calls were echoed by other Western government, with Germany's foreign office on Saturday calling on its citizens to avoid traveling to Cairo, Alexandria and Suez — the three cities hardest hit by the protests.So far, the protests appear to have mainly affected travel plans to Cairo, while the Red Sea resorts favored by the Europeans and Russians who make up the majority of foreign tourists to Egypt.Two of the biggest German tourism agencies, TUI and Thomas Cook, gave their customers the option to either cancel their trips to Egypt or to chose a different destination without incurring penalties.A spokeswoman for Thomas Cook, Nina Kreke, said that so far there had not been any requests for cancelations.

Anja Braun, a spokeswoman for TUI, said that most German tourists were vacationing in resorts along the Red Sea where the situation was calm.Nobody has asked to return early to Germany, Braun said, adding that while there had been a few cancelations and customers changing their travel destinations to other countries instead of Egypt, one could not say that there was a wave of cancelations.Both TUI and Thomas Cook could not say how many tourists travel to Egypt every week with their agencies, but according to the German Travel Association some 1.2 million Germans vacation in Egypt every year. Rene-Marc Chikli, president of the CETO association of French tour operators, said the group was suspending all departures this weekend for Egypt. Many travelers who are already in Egypt are being routed away from Cairo to see other destinations, such as Luxor, Aswan or the Red Sea, he told France Info radio. France's Foreign Ministry updated its website to advise travelers to Egypt to postpone all non-urgent travel. French citizens already in Egypt are advised to limit their movements to what is strictly necessary and stay far away from crowds.

Egypt's Mubarak defies demands for him to go
By Edmund Blair – Sat Jan 29, 4:52 am ET

CAIRO (Reuters) – Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak clung to power Saturday as protesters took to the streets again to demand that he quit.Mubarak ordered troops and tanks into the capital Cairo and other cities overnight and imposed a curfew in an attempt to quell demonstrations that have shaken the Arab world's most populous nation, a key U.S. ally, to the core.Government buildings, including the ruling party headquarters, were still blazing Saturday morning after being set alight by demonstrators who defied the curfew.Cairo was strewn with wreckage from a day of protests in which tens of thousands of people called for an end to Mubarak's 30-year-rule, an unprecedented turn of events in the tightly-controlled country.At least 24 people were killed and 1,000 wounded in clashes Friday between the protesters and police firing rubber bullets, teargas and wielding batons, medical sources said.

Mubarak went on television Friday night to appeal for calm and promising to address the people's grievances. He sacked the cabinet but made clear he intended to stay in power.A government spokesman said the cabinet would formally resign at meeting about noon (5 a.m. ET) Saturday and a new one was likely to be formed swiftly.But about 2,000 demonstrators gathered in Cairo's central Tahrir Square Saturday to press their demands that he quit, the first clear indication that those behind the street action were not satisfied by his remarks.Go away, go away, they chanted, gathering in Tahrir Square in full view of troops. Peaceful, peaceful, they said.Tanks were parked on roads leading into the square. One army armored personnel carrier had been gutted by fire. The square was strewn with rubble, burned tires and charred wood that had been used as barricades overnight.The demonstrators, many of them young urban poor and students, complain of repression, corruption, and economic despair under Mubarak, who has held power since the 1981 assassination of President Anwar Sadat by Islamist soldiers.The unrest, which follows the overthrow of Tunisian strongman Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali two weeks ago in a popular uprising, has sent shock waves through the Middle East, where other autocratic rulers may face similar challenges.

It also poses a dilemma for the United States. Mubarak, 82, has been a close ally of Washington and beneficiary of U.S. aid for decades, justifying his autocratic rule in part by citing a danger of Islamist militancy.Egypt plays an important role in Middle East peacemaking and was the first Arab nation to sign a peace treaty with Israel.President Barack Obama said he had spoken to Mubarak shortly after his speech and urged him to make good on his promises of reform.I want to be very clear in calling upon the Egyptian authorities to refrain from any violence against peaceful protesters, Obama said.U.S. officials made clear that $1.5 billion in aid was at stake.

ARMY POSITION

The deployment of army troops to back up the police showed that Mubarak still has the support of the military, the country's most powerful force. But any change of sentiment among the generals could seal his fate. The army's deployment had initially been welcomed by crowds, frustrated by heavy handed police tactics. But damage to army vehicles showed that feeling swiftly wore off and protesters overnight accused the army of taking the same police line.What happened was a betrayal of the people ... We were celebrating the army's presence when they got to Tahrir, we let them through to take over from the dirty riot police and then we got fired at again, said Marzouq, a protester in his 20s. Protesters mocked Mubarak's decision to sack his cabinet as an empty gesture.It was never about the government, by God. It is you (Mubarak) who has to go! What you have done to the people is enough! said one.Protesters directed their rage overnight by attacking public and ministry buildings, all symbols of Mubarak's government.Mahmoud Mohammed Imam, a 26-year-old taxi-driver, said: We were hoping that he was delivering a speech to tell us he was leaving.

All he said were empty promises and lies. He appointed a new government of thieves, one thief goes and one thief comes to loot the country.This is the revolution of the people who are hungry, this is the revolution of the people who have no money against those with a lot of money.Anthony Skinner, Associate Director of political risk consultancy Maplecroft, said Mubarak's conduct was reminiscent of that of Tunisia's Ben Ali, who also fired his cabinet hours before he was forced to flee.
Mubarak is showing he is still there for now and he is trying to deflect some of the force of the process away from himself by sacking the cabinet. We will have to see how people react but I don't think it will be enough at all.Markets were hit by the uncertainty. U.S. stocks suffered their biggest one-day loss in nearly six months, crude oil prices surged and the dollar and U.S. Treasury debt gained as investors looked to safe havens.(Additional reporting by Dina Zayed, Marwa Awad, Shaimaa Fayed, Sherine El Madany, Yasmine Saleh, Alison Williams and Samia Nakhoul in Cairo, and Alexander Dziadosz in Suez; Writing by Angus MacSwan, editing by Peter Millership)

Egypt imposes night curfew after day of riots By SARAH EL DEEB and MAGGIE MICHAEL, Associated Press - JAN 28,11

CAIRO – President Hosni Mubarak imposed a night curfew and signaled he was about to send the military out in the streets for the first time to quell an unprecedented challenge to his regime by tens of thousands of protesters who rioted on Friday. One demonstrator was killed and even a Nobel Peace laureate was placed under house arrest after joining the protests.State television said the curfew would be in force from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. in Cairo, the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria and the flashpoint city of Suez east of the capital. It said the military will work in tandem with the police to enforce the ban.It was the most drastic measure so far to quell daily riots and protests that began Tuesday and spiraled into chaos on Friday after noon prayers.Groups of thousands of protesters, some chanting out, out, out, defied a ban on any gatherings and turned out at different venues across Cairo, a city of about 18 million people. Some marched toward major squares and across scenic Nile bridges. Burning tires sent up plumes of black smoke across the cityscape as the sun set.Security officials said there were protests in at least 11 of the country's 28 provinces.

It was a major escalation in the movement that began on Tuesday to demand 82-year-old Mubarak's ouster and vent rage at years of government neglect of rampant poverty, unemployment and rising food prices. Security officials said protesters ransacked the headquarters of Mubarak's ruling party in the cities of Mansoura north of Cairo and Suez, east of the capital.Some of the most serious violence Friday was in Suez, where protesters seized weapons stored in a police station and asked the policemen inside to leave the building before they burned it down. They also set ablaze about 20 police trucks parked nearby. Demonstrators exchanged fire with policemen trying to stop them from storming another police station and one protester was killed in the gun battle.The death brought the toll of those killed in four days of protests to eight.

Egypt’s Internet Kill Switch: Coming To America
Steve Watson Infowars.com January 28, 2011
http://www.infowars.com/egypts-internet-kill-switch-coming-to-america/

In response to widespread protests and mass unrest, the authoritarian Egyptian government has completely shut down the country’s access to the internet, eliminating the use of social networking websites, other effective tools of communication and organisation, and effectively sealing Egypt off from the rest of the world.Internet intelligence authority Renesys has confirmed that virtually all of Egypt’s Internet addresses are now unreachable, worldwide.At 22:34 UTC (00:34am local time), Renesys observed the virtually simultaneous withdrawal of all routes to Egyptian networks in the Internet’s global routing table. Approximately 3,500 individual BGP routes were withdrawn, leaving no valid paths by which the rest of the world could continue to exchange Internet traffic with Egypt’s service providers. Renesys’ analysis states.Vodafone said in an emailed statement: All mobile operators in Egypt have been instructed to suspend services in selected areas. Under Egyptian legislation, the authorities have the right to issue such an order and we are obliged to comply.

Prior to the complete shut down, tweets and live mobile phone feeds from the Egyptian protests in Suez and Cairo were providing up to the minute coverage. Links to photos on Twitpic, videos on YouTube and postings on Facebook were aiding protesters organize their movements.As The Electronic Freedom Foundation notes, When protestors in Cario’s Tahir Square experienced an outage in cell phone data service, nearby residents reportedly opened their home Wi-Fii networks to allow protesters to get online.The Egyptian authorities could not stand for this. Following the revelation of Associated Press footage showing a protester being shot dead in the street, one of at least eight victims who have been killed since the uprising began, an apparent Internet kill switch was thrown.The action is unprecedented in Internet history. It is clearly the action of a desperate tyrannical government on its last legs.Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s government is also reportedly arresting bloggers, attacking journalists, and rounding up anyone else the regime sees as dissidents.Still, the Obama administration, which currently funnels $1.3 billion in military aid to the Egyptian government per year, refuses to condemn the Mubarak regime, and further more, is looking to embrace the exact same internet control mechanism in America.Indeed, when Senator Joe Lieberman attempted to justify draconian legislation that would provide President Obama with a figurative kill switch to shut down parts of the Internet indefinitely, he cited the Communist Chinese system of Internet policing as model which America should move towards.

Right now China, the government, can disconnect parts of its Internet in case of war and we need to have that here too, Lieberman told CNN’s Candy Crowley last June.Of course, the Chinese government routinely shuts down the already heavily filtered internet at any politically sensitive time, not only in case of war as Lieberman claims. Furthermore, Twitter, Facebook and Youtube are all permanently banned.News websites in China now require users to register their true identities in order to leave comments, so that any dissident can be tracked and appropriately dealt with. A truly frightening Orwellian reality you may think, yet this exact move towards abolishing Internet anonymity and creating a virtual ID card is a key centerpiece of the US government’s cybersecurity agenda.The Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act (PCNAA), which now includes a removal of all judicial oversight, is still circulating and will be voted on later this year. Lieberman has stated that the legislation should be made a top priority.The recent actions of the Egyptian government in the face of widespread public backlash, and the ongoing stifling of the free flow of information in China should provide a stark warning to Americans that such Internet control mechanisms are the tools of oppressive authoritarian governments and have no place in a free society.

Constitutional contempt
By Douglas J. Hagmann

28 January 2011: This is the most difficult report update I’ve ever filed on any investigative matter on which I’ve worked, and certainly the most important. It strikes directly at the heart of the national security of the United States, which has been under attack from within for the last 75 years or longer. What exists today began with people who are long dead, but whose agendas live on through others to whom the torch has been passed. It is the proverbial rabbit hole that goes deeper than most can fathom.At center stage stands Barack Hussein Obama, the man who currently holds the highest office in the free world. He is the contemporaneous result of decades of treasonous deceptions and socialist penetration into areas of our government that we were warned about by Senator Joe McCarthy, a man whose legacy has been deliberately rewritten so that the mere mention of his name evokes undeserved revulsion by the majority of people in America. Even though Mr. McCarthy has not been with us for over 50 years, his investigative work as a U.S. senator figures prominently into our current state of affairs.

Before you accuse me of taking leave of my senses, I ask that you research the declassified revelations of the 1990′s that came about after the break-up of the Soviet Union. Consider the documentation that was exposed, such as the Venona papers, and other once classified yet still heavily redacted documents released under the radar to be the predecessor of Wikileaks. Look carefully at what McCarthy was trying to warn Americans about, and then analyze for yourself the well crafted methodology of marginalization through obfuscation used by those in power, those in the media, and even many in Hollywood. You will find that what existed over 50 years ago not only exists today, but has been magnificently refined.The marginalization of McCarthy and the deliberate expunging of historical records exposing the Marxist, Socialist and Communist infiltration into nearly all levels of our government of that era explains why we still find ourselves questioning not only the eligibility status of our current president, but the majority of his background. It is an undeniable fact that Barack Hussein Obama has refused to provide authenticated evidence of his eligibility to occupy our White House, the house of the American people. In fact, he has fought the release of records that would prove, once and for all, this most basic issue, and further refused to release documents that would provide insight into America’s most mysterious president.

The mystery behind Obama extends well beyond the birth certificate controversy, although that has grown into the most recognizable issue of late. For better or worse relative to the truly important aspects of Obama, the actions and behavior of Hawaiian Governor Neil Abercrombie have fueled speculation among birthers, a pejorative term assigned to Americans who care about constitutional issues and the rule of law. Over a half-century ago, it’s likely that birthers would have been referred to as McCarthyites instead. The names have changed, but the template of marginalization is the same.Students of history – true history, not the revisionist type – would do well to recall the communist infiltration of the U.S. State Department and other federal agencies under the watch of Roosevelt and Truman. History shows that they were aware of what was taking place, but for reasons that are still applicable today, allowed the progression of infiltration to continue. Like a game of geopolitical chess, wars were fought under pretense while the coffers of the power elite hedged their bets by financing all sides in these conflicts. Nation building and the implementation of fundamental change of America was underway long before Obama uttered that promise on which he is delivering.

The infrastructure of infiltration was designed for the long term, having the ultimate objective of one day taking control of the United States from within. Through a series of hand-offs otherwise known as elections of those who were selected before they were elected, the fundamental change was well in progress by those in power behind the scenes.The objective then was to institute a communist agenda within America, from the inside out as our status as a military superpower would disallow a takeover by any other means. So too was the formidable patriotic American psyche that existed. The time was just not right. But the power brokers of the day, the globalists, knew that times would change and Americans would become softer. They have, and we have, thus leading to our current state where the U.S. Constitution is under daily attack.Consider then that assuming the office of the U.S. presidency, the highest office in the free world, is the ultimate subversion of the Constitution. The safeguards built into the Constitution by our founders were left to individuals who were the products and by-products of the infiltration and ultimate compromise of our legal and moral principles that began long ago. It was and continues to be a metastatic infiltration that involves all branches and levels of our government and both sides of the political spectrum.

This history of infiltration provides the answer to how America could possibly elect a president who has refused to prove his eligibility under the provisions of the Constitution. It provides insight into how our electoral vetting process was compromised, and why there is such a vociferous campaign by politicians and pundits alike to disparage anyone questioning the legitimacy of Obama.There are precious few in the media who lack culpability in this matter. Many pundits who command audiences of millions, whether on the radio or television, have made it a blood sport to mock reasonable people who deserve answers to legitimate questions. Some make it about race while others make it about conspiracy. Some intentionally obfuscate the issue, while others make false claims of having seen or holding a paper of historical importance. Meanwhile, the instruments of this administration have created, willfully and deliberately, a fictitious Internet clearing house to reportedly separate rumor from fact. There is ample evidence of intent to deceive the American people, and strong suggestions of criminal intent.

The things that do not make sense when considered individually, such as our schizophrenic approach to our national security, our borders, and the seemingly deliberate erosion of our national sovereignty, now become a bit more understandable, albeit in a most uncomforting way. The talk of a New World Order by both Republicans and Democrats that began over a half century ago, absurd denials of the existence of the coming of a North American Union, and the manner in which those who dare talk about these issues are marginalized now become more understandable.
The goals of the globalists have not changed. The desire to subjugate our national sovereignty has never before been so rabid. The closer our enemies within come to accomplishing their objectives, the greater the danger becomes to the freedom granted to us by God and our Constitution.As long as Obama is permitted to occupy the highest office without any person, group or agency demanding answers and accountability, the more dangerous and perilous times become. The longer we allow our elected officials to disregard our demand for answers, dismiss us, ignore us, or impugn the reasonableness of our concerns, the closer we are to losing our Republic.

At issue is more than a piece of paper detailing the pedigree of Barack Hussein Obama. We need complete disclosure, and we need it now, not in 2012. Tomorrow might be too late.

FRANCE-FAILURE OF EURO WOULD BE DISASTER

BANKERS CRY FOUL AS THEY ROB THE WORLD OF TRILLIONS OR QUADRILLIONS.

Davos WEF 2011: Top bankers urge an end to bank bashing-Senior bankers have hit out at the raft of new regulation currently being imposed on the finance industry, warning that it may ultimately do more harm than good.Mr Dimon insisted that numerous banks acted as stabilising influences during the crisis. Photo: Bloomberg NewsBy Damian Reece, Head of Business in Davos and Harry Wilson in London 2:02PM GMT 27 Jan 2011The Telegraph

Banks On Wednesday leading executives at Standard Chartered and Goldman Sachs attacked the level of regulation being imposed on banks and blamed it for reducing lending. Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JP Morgan, this morning became the latest senior banker to lash out at critics of the financial system as he said it was time to stop denigrating banks. Mr Dimon's comments added to the backlash by leading bankers attending the World Economic Forum in Davos against influential voices in politics and the media who have continued to attack banks for their part in the financial crisis.On Wednesday leading executives at Standard Chartered and Goldman Sachs attacked the level of regulation being imposed on banks and blamed it for reducing lending.Peter Sands, chief executive of Standard Chartered, yesterday warned of the dangers of over-regulation and said that wildly complicated and irrelevant rules could hit economic growth and endanger the economic recovery.

Mr Dimon in his speech insisted that many banks acted as stabilising influences during the crisis. We bought Bear Stearns because the government asked us to, said Mr Dimon to a packed session in Davos. He went on to attack irresponsible and ignorant media insisting that not all banks are the same just as there were some in the media who were reporting the crisis responsibly. Mr Dimon, who has won plaudits for the way he has led JP Morgan through the past few years, also rejected claims that his bank had tried to block reform of the banking sector, echoing the concerns of other banking leaders at Davos concerning poor regulation. We fought the parts of reform that we thought were irrational.He also spoke out against claims that banks, and other businesses, were being short termist. We could have dramatically pulled back our exposure in Europe. That's not what our board said. JP Morgan recently announced a heavy investment in London, taking over the former Lehman Brothers building in Canary Wharf.The more confrontational stance being taken by banks was reflected in submissions to the UK's Independent Commission on Banking. Lloyds Banking Group stated in its evidence that new regulation may make matters worse rather than better, while Barclays argued that banks should be free to pursue whatever business model they wanted to.Later today senior bankers at the forum have been called to a meeting with Tim Geithner, US Treasury chief secretary.

World needs $100 trillion more credit, says World Economic Forum (BANKERS)The Telegraph

The world's expected economic growth will have to be supported by an extra $100 trillion (£63 trillion) in credit over the next decade, according to the World Economic Forum.The global credit stock has already doubled in recent years, from $57 trillion to $109 trillion between 2000 and 2009 Photo: AlamyBy Emma Rowley 8:49PM GMT 18 Jan 2011

This doubling of existing credit levels could be achieved without increasing the risk of a major crisis, said the report from the WEF ahead of its high-profile annual meeting in Davos.But researchers warned that leaders must be wary of new credit hotspots, where too much lending takes place, as the world emerges from a financial catastrophe blamed in large part to the failure of the financial system to detect and constrain these areas of unsustainable debt.Pockets of credit grew rapidly to excess – and brought the entire financial system to the brink of collapse, said the report, written in conjunction with consulting firm McKinsey. Yet, credit is the lifeblood of the economy, and much more of it will be needed to sustain the recovery and enable the developing world to achieve its growth potential.
The global credit stock has already doubled in recent years, from $57 trillion to $109 trillion between 2000 and 2009, according to the report.The WEF said the continued demand for credit could be met responsibly, sustainably – and with fewer crises. However, it cautioned that to achieve this goal, financial institutions, regulators, and policy makers need more robust indicators of unsustainable lending, risk, and credit shortages.

Davos WEF 2011: Sarkozy says France and Germany will never let the euro fail
France and Germany will never turn their backs on the euro, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has said in his most robust defence of the troubled single currency to date.
President Sarkozy?s intervention comes with the single currency under greater strain than at any time in its short history.By Philip Aldrick, Economics Editor, in Davos 1:11PM GMT 27 Jan 2011The Telegraph

Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, he told speculators to be prepared for big losses if they bet against the euro. [Germany’s] Chancellor Merkel and myself will never – do you hear me, never – let the euro fall, he said.The euro is Europe. And Europe spells 60 years of peace. Therefore we will never let the euro go or be destroyed… To those who bet against the euro, watch out for your money because we are fully determined to defend the euro.President Sarkozy’s intervention comes with the single currency under greater strain than at any time in its short history. Davos has been abuzz with talk of a two-speed Europe, with billionaire investor George Soros warning that the euro could possibly fall apart under the strain.

Greece and Ireland are implementing painful pay cuts and other deflationary measures because they can not devalue, while Germany powers ahead. Ken Rogoff, the Harvard economist, has suggested Greece should be allowed to fail in an orderly fashion because its debts are insurmountable.However, President Sarkozy said: To imagine that we might pull out shows a complete misunderstanding of the European psychology. It has to do with our identities as Europeans.

His comments were echoed by European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet, also at Davos, who said: We have a problem of some signatures, not of signatures of the euro area as a whole.In Mr Sarkozy’s remarks to the conference, he also called for a new international monetary system to replace the Bretton Woods agreement in 1944. Who could say the world today is anything like the world we had [then], he said. He demanded a greater role in world affairs for China. Special Drawing Rights [the IMF’s international reserve currency] were created 42 years ago. SDRs are backed by a basket of currencies. Is the Chinese currency there? Of course not. Is that right? In comments that may aggravate his US counterparts, Mr Sarkozy added that China should not be castigated for building up a strong export market. How could we possibly criticise a country for wanting to export, as that’s what we all want to do,he said.However, he stressed that global imbalances – both trade and budget - need to be addressed urgently. Financial imbalances will one day bring down the whole pack of cards unless we deal with them very swiftly.Mr Sarkozy, who holds the chair for the G20, also called for curbs on commodity speculators, saying: Regulation. Not an excess ... but regulation. We should put in that transparency. Let those who buy big quantities of commodities commit to putting on deposit part of the financing for those commodities.

Sarkozy: Failure of euro would be cataclysmic
LEIGH PHILLIPS 27.01.2011 @ 17:42 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - French President Nicolas Sarkozy has come out swinging in defence of Europe's single currency, saying France and Germany will never let the euro fail.In a keynote speech to some of the most powerful businessmen and politicians on the planet at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday (27 January), Mr Sarkozy attempted to kill off suggestions that the euro could splinter.The euro is Europe. And Europe spells 60 years of peace. Therefore we will never let the euro go or be destroyed, he said, according to reports from the Swiss resort town.To those who bet against the euro, watch out for your money because we are fully determined to defend the euro.Ms Merkel and I will never - do you hear me? - never let the euro fall.Such an event would be cataclysmic, he said.

The consequences of a failure of the euro would be so cataclysmic that we could not possibly entertain the idea. We couldn't even play with the idea of entertaining the idea.To imagine that we might pull out, that we might abandon the euro, is to show a complete misunderstanding of the state of mind of Europeans who have been at each others' throats for decades and who have only one thing in mind – peace and co-operation, he went on.He added that Europe's identity is inseparable from the single currency.To imagine that we might pull out shows a complete misunderstanding of the European psychology. It has to do with our identities as Europeans.He also took a swipe at commodity speculators, a growing theme of his tenure this year as chairman of the G20 and G8. The president has said repeatedly in the last few weeks that he holds investors responsible for the rise in food and energy prices that have aggravated riots in some developing nations.He criticised the derivatives market for the role he believes it played in the economic crisis.They played a pass the parcel game which was, of course, very profitable because everyone you passed the parcel to made money – until finally there was no one to pass it to, he said.

EU gives cautious support to Yemeni protesters
ANDREW RETTMAN 27.01.2011 @ 17:44 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The EU has said that Yemeni protesters have a fundamental right to take to the streets and call for their government to step down so long as they do not use violence.Maja Kocjancic, a spokeswoman for EU foreign relations chief Catherine Ashton, told EUobserver on Thursday (27 January) in reference to the unfolding situation in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, that: freedom of expression and the right to assemble peacefully are fundamental rights and they should be respected.
She added: We are supporting a democratic, unified and stable Yemen. We believe the Yemeni national dialogue should be revived. This would offer the opportunity to unlock progress on political issues, from the holding of multi-party democratic election, to wider national reconciliation.Asked if EU institutions are concerned about the security implications of the series of uprisings in the region in recent days, she said that EU foreign ministers will make an assessment at a regular meeting in Brussels on Monday.She added that Ms Ashton is also scheduled to meet with the Yemeni foreign minister next week. Although we've seen a wave of protests, the situation in each country is specific, Ms Kocjancic noted.Thousands of Yemenis took the streets of Sanaa on Thursday calling on President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has led the Muslim country for over 30 years, to step down. We gather today to demand the departure of President Saleh and his corrupt government, opposition MP Abdulmalik al-Qasuss said on Thursday in remarks cited by AFP.

For their part, government supporters said the mass demonstrations are a threat to stability. The Yemen already has problems with activity of al-Qaeada-offshoot groups, with a Yemeni woman arrested in October last year for trying to send bombs on a UPS cargo plane to the US.The Yemeni uprising follows the ousting of another pro-Western but undemocratic Muslim leader, President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali of Tunisia, earlier this month.Copycat protests have also erupted in Algeria and Egypt, with a number of protesters and policemen killed in clashes in Egypt this week.The Egyptian opposition is set to acquire a new figurehead in former UN nuclear weapons inspector and Nobel laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, who boarded a plane for Cairo on Thursday. If [people] want me to lead the transition, I will not let them down, he said in Vienna airport, the BBC reports.Coupled with deadly clashes in Lebanon after Islamic militant group Hezbollah won an ally as prime minister, increasing tensions between the Arab Fatah and Hamas factions in the Palestinian territories and deadly anti-government clashes in Albania, the EU's immediate neighbourhood has seen a massive increase in tension in recent days.

Arab Youth Attacks Jew, Shot Dead
by Elad Benari JAN 28,11

An Arab youth from the Samarian Arab village of Arak Burin was shot dead near the Jewish community of Yitzhar on Thursday.Arab media, which reported on the incident throughout the day on Thursday, claimed that the youth had been shot for no reason by a Jewish resident of Yitzhar. The Palestinian Authority-based Ma’an News Agency claimed that residents of Yitzhar had marched into Arak Burin and opened fire at its residents, killing the 19-year-old youth, who was identified as Ady Maher Qadous.

The report relied on statements by Ghassan Daghlus, a PA official who is in charge of monitoring activities by Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. Ma’an also cited medical sources who said that Qadous was hit by numerous bullets to the chest and was taken to a hospital in Nablus (Shechem) for treatment, where he died shortly after arrival.The website of the PA newspaper Al-Quds quoted Qadous’ cousin, who claimed that while he and his cousin were working on property which belongs to them, four Jews approached from a nearby hill when suddenly one of them shot Qadous.
However, a preliminary investigation by Samaria-Judea police found that the youth was shot after a Jewish man who was walking on a pathway near Yitzhar was attacked by a group of Arabs who threw rocks at him. When one of the attackers approached the Jew with a rock in his hand, he opened fire in self-defense.Those who responded to the findings by the police largely blamed leftist groups for inciting against Jews and helping to spread the false reports.National Union Chairman MK Yaakov Ketzaleh Katz said: Lately there is a rise in the provocations by groups of anarchists who are accompanied by Arabs and extreme leftists and are invading pastures, plots of land, orchards and vineyards belonging to Jews.

Unfortunately, not only do the security forces not take any action to protect the Jews who are left alone to defend themselves, but the police and the army arrest them, added Katz . It is very unfortunate that security forces are afraid of those foreign organizations that finance the provocateurs just as they financed the Turkish flotilla.Katz said that he will demand that a parliamentary inquiry committee be established to investigate the reasons for the compliance by the security system with radical rioters that undermine the stability of the region, while turning against the local Jews who are mostly graduates of the IDF's elite units and regularly perform reserve military duty.The Yitzhar community responded to the police findings by saying that the investigation proves once again the hands of the Arabs are full of blood.The Samaria Residents' Council said in a statement: Once again it has been proven today that the Arab blood libels against the Jews are automatically adopted by leftist organizations seeking to incite against Jews. After it has been proven that it was self-defense we expect everyone who said otherwise to apologize.Shomron Mayor Gershon Mesika said: I am glad that the police today unveiled the truth behind the false tales of the Arabs. Unfortunately in many cases these false stories are made public and offend the Jewish population.(Israel NationalNews.com)

Rabbi Yosef vs. Hareidi Ashkenazi Rabbis on IDF Conversions
by Maayana Miskin JAN 28,11

Hareidi Ashkenazic Rabbinic leaders from the Lithuanian community and the Chabad-Hassidic community voiced opposition to the conversions to Judaism conducted in the IDF. Their statement of disapproval followed a ruling by Sephardi religious leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef that said the conversions were valid and support for the IDF rabbis from religious Zionist rabbinic figures.Several months ago, Ashkenazi hareidi rabbis also caused a major uproar by declaring some of the conversions by religious Zionist courts, then under the supervision of the venerable Rabbi Chaim Druckman, head of the Ohr Etzion Hesder Yeshiva, invalid retroactively.The hareidi rabbis who oppose IDF conversions said that they believe that in the IDF converts are allowed to proceed with their plans to convert even if they do not intend to attempt to keep a halackic lifestyleThey wrote: Everyone knows that these people did not plan to keep any of the major elements of religious observance, not the Sabbath, not kashrut [religious dietary laws – ed.], and not family purity. The letter was signed by several leading hareidi-religious rabbis, among them Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, and Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky. Their source for this generalization was not given.

Another letter, signed by 12 Chabad rabbis, warned that failing to hold would-be converts to a standard that includes observance of Jewish law harms both the converts and the Jewish people. Substandard conversions pose a threat to the existence of the Jewish people, and show ingratitude toward those who seek to convert, by deceiving them in the name of welcoming them, and making their lives miserable by giving them a conversion certificate that has no basis in Jewish law.The Chabad rabbis criticized the IDF's acclaimed Nativ pre-conversion program, claiming that teachers in the program had mixed Torah messages with those contradictory to Torah. And the main thing: even the rabbis who performed the conversions themselves left out, downplayed, or belittled the essence of conversion, that is, the acceptance of the mitzvot [commandments] at the time of conversion and the intent to keep them for the rest of one's life! Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, a renowned Torah scholar and the spiritual leader of Shas, stated that the IDF conversions are valid.President Shimon Peres praised Rabbi Yosef this week for his stance on the issue. His ruling strengthens and unifies the Jewish people, Peres said.(Israel NationalNews.com)

Chabad Gathering Shatters Stereotypes of Chassidic Women
by Hana Levi Julian JAN 28,11

Some 2,000 Chassidic women are meeting this weekend in New York to shatter stereotypes about their roles as Jewish women.The five-day gathering of female emissaries from the Chabad-Lubavitch movement features workshops that focus on issues such as the revival of world Jewry, leveraging the latest technology to conduct spiritual outreach and breaking the ice in new communities.The conference, meeting for its 23rd year, provides an opportunity for day school principals, Hebrew school directors, educators, counselors and motivational speakers around the world to also air their concerns and network with each other, something they rarely have time for in their busy schedules.Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries are known for their outreach efforts in far-flung communities across the world. Young couples establish outposts for Jewish contact in places like Beijing, Nepal, Uzbekistan, Laos, South Africa and Australia, offering guidance and services to Jews regardless of their affiliation.

Nearly 3,000 people are expected to attend the final event of the conference, a banquet that has for the first time been relocated out of the Crown Heights neighborhood to the Brooklyn Armory due to the massive numbers expected to attend. The conference is a tribute to the legacy of Rebbetzin Chaya Muska Schneerson, the esteemed wife of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, and is time to the anniversary of her passing, noted a statement by the organizers. The title of emissary is not an appellation, observed Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, vice chairman of Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch, the educational arm of the movement. It is earned by each and every one of these women, who all give their lives to their communities.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Northeast recovers from wet, heavy snowstorm
By Ellen Wulfhorst – Thu Jan 27, 4:47 pm ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The Northeast dug out of yet another winter storm on Thursday that pummeled the region with unexpectedly heavy snowfall, making January the snowiest month in New York in more than 85 years.In Central Park, 19 inches of snow fell overnight in the storm that forced airports and schools to close. The wet snow fell at dizzying speeds during the height of the storm, as much as three inches per hour, said Weather Channel meteorologists.New York officials vowed to keep the city running after Mayor Michael Bloomberg, agency heads and municipal workers came under heavy criticism for the slow response to the Christmas weekend blizzard that brought services to a halt.We learn, said Bloomberg at a City Hall news conference on Thursday. We asked the questions of what didn't work last time and whether there's anything we could do differently.The city suspended bus service shortly after midnight, he noted. In the Christmas blizzard, 600 city buses became stranded but with this suspension, almost no buses were stranded on Thursday, the mayor said.

Bus service was gradually restored through the day, and about 1,500 laborers were shoveling out bus stops, he said.Our expectation is that by tomorrow morning's rush hour all of the city streets and roadways will have been plowed, Bloomberg said.The storm, which dropped twice as much snow as had been predicted, brought the city's January total accumulation to 36 inches, breaking a record from 1925, the mayor said.
This is so much worse than I think we all expected, said Julia Scharf, 27, a dental technician who commuted to New York from Bethpage, Long Island.I had to clean about 15 or so inches off my car before I could drive to the train station.Commuter train and bus service from some suburbs, including Long Island, was limited or suspended throughout the day.Metro-North Railroad lines between New York and some towns in Connecticut, including New Canaan, Danbury and Waterbury, were out of service. The day's ridership throughout the region was down by about half, a spokeswoman said.

New York City schools were closed, only the ninth time since 1978 that schools closed due to snow, the mayor said.The National Weather Service said that in addition to the 19 inches of new snow in Central Park, nearly 19 inches fell at Newark Airport and 18 inches in suburban New Canaan, Connecticut.The snowfall was just shy of the Christmas blizzard that dropped 20 inches on New York City.Flight delays averaging more than four hours were reported at John F. Kennedy International Airport, which had been closed due to the storm but reopened on Thursday morning.
Delays averaging about two hours were reported at Newark International Airport, LaGuardia Airport in New York and Philadelphia International Airport.Snowfall ranged from 12 to 17 inches in Philadelphia, where nine people spent nine hours on a bus stuck in the snow, said Jerri Williams, a spokeswoman for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority. Along with the driver, those nine chose to remain on the heated bus rather than brave the elements, she said.About 15,000 households south and west of Philadelphia lost power, according to the utility Peco. By late afternoon, some 10,000 had power restored, and the rest were expected to have power restored by midnight, the utility said.

In the Washington, D.C., area, where some commuters were caught in hours-long traffic jams during the storm, tens of thousands were without power, mostly due to snow-laden trees downing utility lines.About 163,000 Pepco customers in the Washington area remained without power by late afternoon on Thursday and may not have power until late Friday, a Pepco spokesman said.In Boston, a second runway at Logan International Airport was closed until mid-afternoon, an airport spokesman said.Snow accumulation contributed to a handful of large, industrial properties and smaller buildings across Massachusetts and Connecticut that reported roof collapses.
If you have a roof, particularly a flat roof on any part of your house, now is the time to get up there and remove as much of that snow as you can, Connecticut Gov. Dannell Malloy said at a news conference in Hartford.Given the winter weather pattern, he said: We might as well count on receiving additional snow, so acting on this stuff before it becomes rock solid is a good idea.In weather-related deaths, a woman was struck and killed by a snowplow on Wednesday in Center Moriches, New York. In Wilmington, a 51-year-old woman died early Thursday after being hit by a snow plow owned by the Delaware Department of Transportation.(Additional reporting by Lauren Keiper in Boston, Jon Hurdle in Philadelphia, Ted Lorson in Norwich, Connecticut, Jerry Norton in Washington, and Bernd Debusmann Jr. and Daniel Trotta in New York; Editing by Greg McCune)

Thunder-snow storm buries US north-east
by Sebastian Smith – Thu Jan 27, 12:54 pm ET

NEW YORK (AFP) – New York shut down two airports and most city services Thursday in the wake of a rare thunder-snow storm that paralyzed air and ground travel over a vast area from Washington to as far north as Boston.After building up early Wednesday with ice and freezing rain, the storm blindsided the US capital at the height of the evening rush hour, not even sparing President Barack Obama, who faced travel delays upon returning from a day trip to the US Midwest.In New York, John F. Kennedy Airport and Newark Airport in New Jersey were closed for almost 12 hours as the storm, simultaneously erupting with lightening and thunder, blanketed the region in more than a foot (30 centimeters) of snow.They reopened later Thursday, but with long delays as airlines worked their way through huge backlogs of canceled flights and miserable passengers.Similar snarl-ups developed at Philadelphia and New York's La Guardia airports, although the situation was back to normal at Washington's Dulles and Reagan National.The storm, an unusual thunder and snow combination, was the fifth major snowfall in as many weeks for parts of the US east coast.For New York City, this has been the most snow-filled January in history, with a total of 36 inches (90 centimeters) breaking the record set 1925.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered all but essential city services shut and school canceled, saying, New York City almost never takes a snow day, but today is one of those rare days. People should stay at home and off the roads. There are extensive service delays on mass transit, including a suspension of all bus service.The billionaire mayor, who prides himself on using his corporate management skills in running the country's largest city, took a public battering earlier this month over what was seen as his mishandling of prolonged blizzard.But even Obama was not spared snow-related inconvenience. He had to use a motorcade -- instead of his helicopter -- to get from Andrews Air Force Base to the White House.Snow created treacherous road conditions that caused several cars to skid off the road or become stuck in the snow, slowing the presidential motorcade, which made it to the White House at 5:58 pm.Ordinary commuters had it even worse. The Washington Posted quoted a woman who sat behind the wheel for 13 hours -- literally. Sitting, not moving. CNN television reported on another commuter whose quick daily hop ended up a 10-hour marathon.The National Weather Service put the entire Washington-to-Boston corridor under a winter storm warning for severe winter weather conditions, including wet, heavy snow.

The warning remained in effect until early Thursday morning.Only travel in an emergency, the warning stated. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.

U.S., Japan warned by IMF, rating agencies on debt
By Lesley Wroughton – Thu Jan 27, 6:00 pm ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States and Japan received sharp warnings from the IMF and ratings agencies on Thursday that they must tackle their huge budget deficits to avoid investors dumping their bonds, which would create a sovereign debt crisis and push up their borrowing costs.Rating agency Standard & Poor's on Thursday cut Japan's long-term debt rating for the first time since 2002, and a day after a U.S. agency raised its 2011 budget deficit forecast by 40 percent.In the United States, Moody's Investors Service warned said while the risk to the United States' coveted top triple-A rating was small, it was rising. For details, see.The International Monetary Fund had harsh words for both the United States and Japan, saying they urgently need to act to cut their deficits.As a political battle heated up in Washington over the budget, the U.S. Treasury took steps to prevent the government from hitting a legal limit on its debt. Republicans are demanding spending cuts as the price of their support for raising the $14.294 trillion debt ceiling.President Barack Obama this week announced a five-year freeze in annual domestic spending, which the White House estimates will save more than $400 billion over the next decade, but an International Monetary Fund official said on Thursday that more is needed.

Carlo Cottarelli, director of the IMF's Fiscal Affairs Department, said Washington must be more specific in detailing plans that go further.One Republican warned that the United States faced the risk of a currency crisis if it did not get its debt under control. We're getting closer to that all the time, said Texas Representative Ron Paul, who has long advocated a return to a requirement that the dollar be backed by gold.In Europe, market pressures have forced many governments to adopt austerity budgets to bring down soaring borrowing costs, and the European Union is now locked in debate over whether a 440 billion euro bailout fund for its members is too small.

U.S., JAPAN LAGGING WITH CUTS

In a report on global debt, the International Monetary Fund patted Europe on the back for its efforts while declaring the United States and Japan as the budget-cutting laggards.In advanced economies where fiscal sustainability has not been a market concern, credible plans going well beyond 2011 need to be put in place urgently to lock in benevolent market sentiment, the IMF said.Renewed market pressures in some advanced economies demand that these countries underline their commitment to their deficit targets and devise contingency plans to ensure that adjustment goals are met, it added.The fund said large European countries will all tighten their budgets this year broadly in line with earlier plans, with Spain making the deepest cuts.The IMF's Cottarelli told reporters that markets were overestimating the risk of default or debt restructuring in Europe, following bailouts of Greece and Ireland.But the IMF's report said Europe needed a more comprehensive approach to crisis management to avoid spillovers and to break the fiscal-financial spiral. The IMF said earlier this week that Europe's debt crisis posed one of the gravest risks to the global recovery.While Europe was cutting its deficits, the IMF said new tax cuts in the United States and increased spending in Japan had set back progress in rich nations more generally.

TIME TO DO MORE

Cottarelli said Japan needed to raise more revenue and he renewed a call for Tokyo to increase its value added tax. As for the United States, the fund said Washington would need to make up for the delay by cutting more deeply in 2012. A deeper adjustment by the United States is needed for it to meet an ambitious G20 target of halving its budget deficit by 2013.A White House official said Obama would lay out a number of tough steps to tackle our fiscal situation in a budget proposal next month. At the same time, top White House economist Austan Goolsbee said the government had to be careful not to undermine a fragile economic recovery. S&P's decision to downgrade Japan's long term debt a notch to AA-minus led to a sell-off in the yen and government bonds.Prices for U.S. Treasuries were unmoved on the Moody's report, which broke late on Thursday. However, some traders said the report could still seep into markets and pull bonds down on Friday.When you have punishing news like this from Moody's and other rating agencies, it will clearly leave a negative impression on Treasuries, said Todd Schoenberger, managing director at LandColt Trading Inc. in Wilmington, Delaware.Alan Wilde, head of fixed income and currency at Baring Asset Management in London, noted the quandary that investors face.We have been underweight Japanese government bonds for several years .... but the outlook is hardly better anywhere else, Wilde said. There is already speculation that the United States may be next in the credit ratings agencies' sights.Additional reporting by Mark Felsenthal, Alister Bull and Glenn Somerville in Washington, and Walter Brandimarte and Steven C.

British PM tells Davos: austerity is working
By FRANK JORDANS, Associated Press – Thu Jan 27, 7:17 pm ET

DAVOS, Switzerland – Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron will tell fellow leaders at this year's World Economic Forum that austerity measures imposed by his government are already bearing fruit.Cameron's Conservative-led coalition government has imposed a series of tough measures — from tax hikes to budget caps — to reduce the country's debt.Already we're making progress, Cameron said, in extracts released by his office ahead of the speech Friday to the annual gathering in the Swiss ski resort of Davos. Not long ago we were heading toward the danger zone where markets start to question your credibility.Cameron said Britain's triple A credit rating had been saved and market interest rates had fallen — though unemployment has also risen and thousands will see some form of state benefit cut.

All this has happened not in spite of our plan to cut the deficit, but because of it. That's why we must stick to the course we have set out.The message will be particularly keenly heard in other European countries, many of whom are trying to juggle crippling levels of public debt in the wake of the global financial crisis.
The Davos meeting's mood has improved since last year, but the 2,500 government and business leaders attending remained wary this week of the possibility that the global recession might return.For Europe, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will mark opposing poles on the spectrum of economic recovery when they take the stage in Davos Friday.U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will talk about priorities for the U.S. economy.Developing country woes will be contrasted with speeches by leaders of developing economies such as Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Mexico's Felipe Calderon.Not far from the conference venue social activists are planning to use the occasion of the Forum to name and shame the corporation with the worst social or ecological record in 2011. The same event will see the launch of OpenLeaks, billed as a rival to the secrecy-spilling website WikiLeaks.
