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

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

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

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

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

Top Scientist: Fukushima Meltdown Could Trigger Atomic Explosion
Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com April 12, 2011

http://www.infowars.com/top-scientist-fukushima-meltdown-could-experience-atomic-explosion/

A British professor and expert on the health effects of ionizing radiation told Alex Jones today evidence points toward a nuclear explosion occurring at the Fukushima Daiichi complex. Two explosions at the plant in March were described as hydrogen gas explosions by Japanese officials and the corporate media.Professor Chris Busby on the Alex Jones Show, April 12, 2011. Citing data collected by two Russian scientists, Professor Chris Busby told Alex Jones and his audience that the explosions at Fukushima were possibly nuclear. The Russian scientists, Sergey A. Pakhomov and Yuri V. Dubasov of the VG Khlopin Radium Institute in Saint Petersburg, examined data related to the explosion at Chernobyl.Japanese nuclear safety agency raises crisis level of Fukushima Daiichi power plant accident from 5 to 7.Using ratios of the radionuclides Xenon 133 and Xenon 133m which they measured by gamma spectrometer, the Russians demonstrated that the Chernobyl explosion was a fission criticality explosion and not principally a hydrogen explosion as has been claimed.

I believe that the explosion of the No 3 reactor may have also involved criticality but this must await the release of data on measurements of the Xenon isotope ratios, he writes in a statement on Fukushima and Chernobyl emailed to Infowars.com.
Busby further notes that the surface contamination and of dose rates 60 kilometers out from the Fukushima site on March 17 exceeded that released at Chernobyl.He explains in his statement that the damaged reactors at Fukushima are now continuing to fission. It is hoped that there will be no separation of plutonium and possible nuclear explosion. I feel that this is unlikely now.Short of an actual plutonium explosion, the reactors remain open to the air and will continue to fission and release radionuclides for years unless something drastic is done.Dr. Busby noted a precedent for the dire scenario now unfolding – a nuclear explosion at a plutonium production reprocessing plant in the former Soviet Union in 1957.The incident at the Mayak facility was the second-worst nuclear accident in history after the Chernobyl disaster. The explosion released 50-100 tonnes of high-level radioactive waste and contaminated a huge territory in the eastern Urals. The Soviets kept the explosion secret for 30 years. According to a report on the accident, about 400,000 people in the region were irradiated following the explosion and other incidents at the plant.
Dr. Busby told Alex Jones that short of actual isotope readings, he cannot definitely state that the explosions at Fukushima were nuclear, although he believes they were. We don’t have evidence of that,he concluded, we would need to have the Xenon isotope ratios.

Nuclear Nightmare Getting Worse, Yet Propaganda Continues
Mark Sircus Infowars.com April 13, 2011

The troubled nuclear plant… is facing a wide array of fresh threats that could persist indefinitely, and that in some cases are expected to increase as a result of the very measures being taken to keep the plant stable, according to a confidential NRC assessment.Japan said it is considering expanding the area covered by a compulsory evacuation order, with no immediate end in sight to the world’s worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl. At this point we should all sit up and take notice of what is happening and what could all so easily happen.The core at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear reactor has melted through the reactor pressure vessel, Rep. Edward Markey told a House hearing on the disaster. I have been informed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that the core has gotten so hot that part of it has probably melted through the reactor pressure vessel. America’s NRC said that some of the core of a stricken Japanese reactor had probably leaked from its steel pressure vessel into the bottom of the containment structure, implying that the damage was even worse than previously thought.Richard Lahey, who was head of safety research for boiling-water reactors at General Electric when the company installed the units at Fukushima, told the Guardian that at least part of the molten core, which includes melted fuel rods and zirconium alloy cladding, seemed to have sunk through the steel lower head of the pressure vessel around reactor no. 2. The indications we have, from the reactor to radiation readings and the materials they are seeing, suggest that the core has melted through the bottom of the pressure vessel in unit two, and at least some of it is down on the floor of the drywell, Lahey said.

On April 5, Times writers James Glanz and William Broad headlined, U.S. Sees Array of New Threats at Japan’s Nuclear Plant,saying: American engineers warned that the troubled nuclear plant… is facing a wide array of fresh threats that could persist indefinitely, and that in some cases are expected to increase as a result of the very measures being taken to keep the plant stable,according to a confidential NRC assessment.According to former GE reactor designer Margaret Harding, Exposed/ unprotected spent fuel rods in Units 1, 2, 3 and 4 pose extreme dangers. Moreover, explosions blew nuclear material up to one mile from the units into the atmosphere, indicating much greater damage than previously disclosed. As a result, David Lochbaum from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) believes, This paints a very different picture, and suggests that things are a lot worse. They could still have more damage in a big way if some of these things don’t work out for them… They’ve got a lot of nasty things to (handle), and one missed step could make the situation much, much worse.On March 29, Dr. Chris Busby said, In fact, Fukushima already way exceeds Chernobyl and Three Mile Island and will get increasingly worse ahead as radiation releases continue and spread. I believe that (the array of) phony experts are criminally irresponsible, since their advice will lead to millions of deaths… I hope they are sent to jail where they can have plenty of time to read the scientific proofs (showing) their advice was based on the mathematical analysis of thin air.Dr. Busby cited John Gofman, a senior U.S. Atomic Energy Commission expert who resigned, saying:The nuclear industry is waging a war against humanity. Busby calls it the greatest public health scandal in human history, which can be witnessed in the present as the government and press continue to mislead the public.As radioactive iodine and cesium-137 continue to spread across the northern hemisphere in higher and higher amounts, and is now reported in France, not a word is mentioned about the population’s iodine deficiencies and how that will guarantee that almost everyone’s thyroids will be ever so thirsty sponges for radioactive iodine. Criminal, mass murder and crimes against humanity are all words that come to mind thinking of this. Medical officials are either totally dumb or the meanest rats that ever walked this earth. They are obviously too stupid to realize that the public’s mineral deficiencies are a major factor in calculating vulnerabilities to exposures to radiation.

We have no choice but to prepare our hearts that this catastrophe will go to level seven and beyond releasing unsupportable radiation onto the nation of Japan and into the northern hemisphere—especially North America. And in fact this morning we find the Japanese doing just that, raising the nuclear catastrophe to level 7.It is more than pathetic though that in the announcement about going to level 7 that the same article mentions Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano telling reporters there was no “direct health damage” so far from the crisis. The accident itself is really serious, but we have set our priority so as not to cause health damage.Seems like Japanese ministers are playing God now in their frustration over events that are simply overwhelming them.Hironobu Unesaki, a nuclear physicist at Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute, said the revision was not a cause for worry that it had to do with the overall release of radiation and was not directly linked to health dangers. Incredible the press would even print such garbage. Sounds like these gentlemen are like men standing on the shoreline telling the tide not to come in.The really bad news has yet to fall on Tokyo, one of the richest and largest metropolitan areas in the world. Will it succumb to the expanding radiation and become the first major center of civilization to fall? Evacuation orders are currently issued when residents are at risk of receiving radiation of at least 50 millisieverts (with no time rate mentioned in the report), but the government said that arrangement assumed only brief exposure. Chronic and persistent exposures need to be calculated into the far future meaning people are going to have to be removed from wider and wider areas. The standard does not take into account the effects of accumulative exposure,Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said. We are discussing what standards to use for accumulative radiation.You would think that governments in conjunction with the nuclear industry would have had this all figured out by now but they remain in complete denial of the dangerous of radiation at low levels of chronic exposure.

The disaster is hitting the Japanese were it really hurts by destroying their crops and now fish. Japan now has to contemplate having to change thousand-year-old eating habits. For an archipelago that has lived off the ocean since prehistoric times, radioactive fish is a worst-case scenario with possibly economy-wide implications.It is really scary to think about the situation worsening. So far most Japanese reportedly have not been directly affected by the calamity, but the realization that radioactive material has been found in seafood has made many of the nation’s 126 million people nervous, as it should. And those rolling blackouts are certainly having their effects on the population and the industries that have made Japan the great nation it has become.Japan was also the scene of one of the worst public health disasters ever with thousands crippled by mercury poisoning of seafood caused when toxic chemicals were released into the sea in the 1950s and 1960s. Mercury is another invisible poison and has become a disaster running in the background that everyone seems to continue to ignore. This admission in the mainstream of the mercury mishap in Japan opens Pandora’s box—the one where heavy metals, toxic chemicals and radiation mix to create a truly poisoned world.The high priests of this kind of world tell us not to worry as they raise the limits of what is considered safe as they did in Japan—the water is now safe to drink in Tokyo because they moved the goal posts and raised the limits of what is safe. The EPA reportedly also raised the safe limits.

Meanwhile doctors continue to expose their patients to higher and higher levels of radiation but this is going to finally have to stop. Soaring numbers of kids are getting CT scans in emergency rooms. The number of ER visits nationwide in which children were given CT scans surged from about 330,000 in 1995 to 1.65 million in 2008—a five-fold increase.The number of kids’ ER visits didn’t increase measurably during the study, but the percentage of visits involving CT scans climbed from about one percent to almost six percent. Increases in CT scan use have also been found in adults and the cancer industry is desperately fighting to make sure women still get their mammograms even though they too expose women to dangerous radiation, the last thing they need in an increasingly radioactive world.What medical officials, then doctors, will have to discover after they have been hit over the head several times with nuclear two-by-fours, is that every toxic exposure will increase people’s vulnerability to succumb to radiation sickness. Toxic accumulation, whether from heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides, food additives and preservatives, etc. will each take their toll, weakening our resistance or ability to clear radioactive particles from our bodies.

Threat to Wayne Madsen announced
http://seeker401.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/threat-to-wayne-madsen-announced/

April 4, 2011 — White House threats must be taken seriously
In yet another indication that America’s democratic experiment is a thing of the past, this editor has received word from a source in a foreign intelligence agency allied with the United States that there has been talk by some within the Obama White House that this editor is under threat. What particular stories have inflamed the White House are not known but the warning conveyed by the source, who has connections within the White House, was stark in its directness: They want to kill you.It was perfectly clear that the phrase was not being used as a figure of speech.

That this development is being reported on April 4 is even more ironic. On April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Kr. was assassinated in Memphis during his mission to support striking sanitation workers in the city. Now, we have our first African-American president and a threat to kill a journalist who is most definitely not one of their favorites has been seriously discussed.Of course, muckraking journalists have been under threat before in America. In 1972, columnist and investigative journalist Jack Anderson had ended up very high on President Richard Nixon’s infamous enemies list. Anderson had long been a burr under the political saddle of Nixon and the president blamed Anderson for exposing a number of Nixon’s corrupt activities, including the exposure in 1956 by Anderson and his boss, Drew Pearson, of a loan from Howard Hughes to Nixon’s brother Donald.In the years before the Watergate scandal broke but at a time when other various scandals in the Nixon administration began to receive the bulldog-like attention of Anderson, who succeeded Pearson as editor of the Washington Merry-Go-Round column in 1969, there were serious discussions among Nixon aides Charles Colson and G. Gordon Liddy, as well as the CIA’s Dr. Edward Gunn, an expert on poisons, about assassinating the troublesome Anderson.

Scenarios included the use of LSD or poison but Anderson’s Mormon religion and the fact that he did not drink ruled out the use of poisons or LSD in his drink. Staging an automobile accident in which Anderson would be incinerated was also an option. Another scenario considered was one which would have appeared to be a random Washington, DC street mugging in which Anderson would be stabbed or have his throat slit. The plot to assassinate Anderson came to an abrupt halt as Liddy, Colson, and E. Howard Hunt, who had also been involved in the action against Anderson, were exposed in the May 1972 break-in at the Watergate headquarters of the Democratic National Committee.Although I have attempted to pattern WMR after Anderson’s and Pearson’s “Merry-Go-Round” column, I do not have the luxury of newspaper syndicators or a Pulitzer Prize, all of which Anderson could rely on as firewalls between him and those in the White House who wanted to kill him.I ran the information about the warning from the foreign intelligence source by some African-Americans in Washington who have worked with Obama White House officials. Their response was less than encouraging. The bottom line is that the White House engages in the type of gangster politics for which their home base of Chicago has become infamous.Although I have taken precautions in covering post-genocide Rwanda, child trafficking in Thailand and Cambodia, the loss of nuclear weapons at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, the gunning down by police of CIA asset Tony Carnaby in Houston, the story of Washington Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey, and BP’s activities on the Gulf Coast in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, and President Obama’s and incoming Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s past activities in Chicago, those measures were temporary and lasted for as long as I was in the field.

However, I have absolutely no desire to constantly be in fear of the type of a White House-directed or -tolerated hit like that discussed by Nixon aides on Anderson who had the benefit of a degree of support from his syndicate and the newspapers who carried his column, which included The Washington Post.Preliminary plans are being made to continue the investigative journalism of this website from a safer vantage point abroad and in an environment that provides basic protection for press freedom. Unfortunately, the United States is no longer a safe place for independent journalists. Today, President Obama kicked off his 2012 presidential campaign in a web video message. Without a Democratic primary challenger, it can be safely assumed that the White House will pull out every arrow in its quiver to suppress negative information about Obama. The mere fact that the announcement of Obama’s re-election came on the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. King shows that Obama will shamelessly attach himself to the legacy of the much-revered African-American leader with whom he shares no cultural legacy of historical African-Americans with their family histories of slavery in the South and sharecropping. Nor would King, if alive today, approve of any of Obama’s pro-war and pro-corporate policies.With a second Obama term a likelihood, iIt only makes sense, therefore, that the reporting on the new America be conducted from a more secure location.There is an interesting postscript to this story. Not once, during the eight years of the Bush administration, did I ever receive such a credible and direct threat. In fact, after WMR’s stories about marital friction between Bush and First Lady Laura Bush received national media attention, there was a communication from a close friend of Mrs. Bush that if I laid off her marital situation, I would be given a major scoop. Knowing that no one should ever cut a deal with the Bush family or their friends, I kindly declined the offer. But whereas the Bush White House was prepared to offer a carrot, the Obama administration appears to favor the stick or another lethal weapon of choice.in discussion with friends we often comment on how wayne is lucky to be alive with the reports he puts out..and its been noted by the WH it appears..a direct threat on his life..he is leaving the USA..thats how much he believes it to be true..this is the brave new world we live in..may god keep you safe wayne and keep pushing truth..

JERUSALEM DIVIDED

1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

ZECHARIAH 14:1-9 King James Bible
1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Spanish royal meets Palestinian president
– Tue Apr 12, 1:29 pm ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) – Spanish Crown Prince Felipe restated his nation's support for an independent Palestinian state during talks on Tuesday with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, a local news agency said.Prince Felipe, accompanied by his wife, Princess Letizia, met Abbas at his presidential headquarters in Ramallah as part of a tour of Israel and the West Bank.The prince reiterated Spain's position in support of the peace process and the right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent state alongside Israel, said a statement carried by official Palestinian news agency WAFA.For his part, Abbas said the Palestinian Authority remained committed to the peace process, based on legitimate international resolutions and international law, the statement said.Peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians have been on hold since late last year after an Israeli moratorium on settlement building expired. The Palestinians have refused to hold talks while Israel builds on land they want for their future state.Abbas said during Tuesday's meeting that any peace process required clear terms of reference, and stressed that settlement activity in all its forms must stop for negotiations to begin.During the meeting, which was attended by Spain's foreign minister, Abbas offered thanks for the great support he said Spain's king, government and people had offered the Palestinians.

Peres Hosts Spanish Royals
by David Lev APR 12,11

In a sign of growing diplomatic relations between Israel and Spain, the Crown Prince and Princess of Spain, Felipe de Borbon and Letizia Ortiz, were in Israel this week on an official state visit. President Shimon Peres hosted the royal pair. The Prince and Princess are on a royal visit to Israel to mark 25 years of diplomatic relations between Israel and Spain, The visit, which is the first for the Crown Prince to Israel, is a reciprocal one coming after Peres' visit King Juan Carlos I in March.
Peres held an official welcoming ceremony for his guests at the President's House in Jerusalem on Monday morning. Following the ceremony, Peres held a working meeting with his guests, telling them Israel welcomes you warmly and with the expectation that this historic visit will contribute greatly to the strengthening of relations between Spain and Israel in the fields of economy, science, technology, education and culture.Speaking to his visitors at a welcoming ceremony, Peres said I would like to thank your father, the King of Spain, and Queen Sofia, for the warm welcome I received in Spain. King Juan Carlos bravely succeeded to lead Spain to democracy after Franco, strengthening Spain and turning it into an open, peace-loving country.

Although only 24 hours long, Felipe and Letizia managed to pack numerous activities into their visit to Israel, paying a call at Yad Vashem, attending a eception at Tel Aviv University, breakfasting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, and touring the Israel Museum. Speaking at Tel Aviv University Monday night, Felipe urged greater technological cooperation between Israel and Spain.On Tuesday afternoon, the two visited Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas before returning home.

Palestinian Authority largely ready to govern state: UN
– Tue Apr 12, 1:24 pm ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) – The Palestinian Authority is now largely ready to govern a state, the office of the United Nations special coordinator for the Middle East peace process said in a report on Tuesday.In six areas where the UN is most engaged, governmental functions are now sufficient for a functioning government of a state, said the report, which will be submitted to Palestinian donor nations meeting in Brussels on Wednesday.But the report warned that it would be difficult for the Palestinian Authority to make any additional progress while the Israeli occupation continued and peace talks remained stalled.The key constraints to the existence and successful functioning of the institutions of a potential state of Palestine arise primarily from the persistence of the occupation and the unresolved issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,the report said.The institutional achievements of the Palestinian state-building agenda are approaching their limits within the political and physical space currently available.The Palestinian Authority (PA) has set itself a September 2011 deadline to be ready for statehood, with the hope of pressuring Israel and the international community to recognise a Palestinian state.

Peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians have been on hold since late 2010 over the issue of Jewish settlement in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.But the Palestinians have said they will seek United Nations recognition for a unilateral declaration of statehood if the talks do not resume, and have touted their state-building efforts as evidence of their readiness for statehood.In a statement accompanying the report, UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process Robert Serry, praised Palestinian Authority president Mahmud Abbas and prime minister Salam Fayyad.This is a decisive period, he said, warning that progress could be retarded or even unravelled without more Israeli cooperation and a return to negotiations.No-one should underestimate what is at stake now. What we urgently need are further steps on the ground that can enable a broadening of this progress, he said.I believe Israel needs to roll back measures of occupation to match the PA?s achievements. I also stress the urgent need for Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations on a two-state solution to resume.The report also stressed that the continuing divide between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and the Hamas rulers of the Gaza Strip deprives the PA of the ability to extend its institutional authority.The progress that has been achieved by the PA must be more meaningfully connected to all areas of de jure PA responsibility and to all Palestinian citizens.

Hamas and Abbas's Fatah party, which dominates the Palestinian Authority, are bitter rivals whose antagonism boiled over in 2007, a year after the Islamist group won legislative elections.After fierce street battles, Hamas routed Fatah fighters from Gaza and seized control of the coastal strip, where it remains in charge.It has not participated in the state-building programme championed by Fayyad, and successive rounds of reconciliation talks between Hamas and Fatah have been unsuccessful.

The United States on Tuesday blocked a Quartet move to impose on Israel a final status plan for the Palestinian Authority, but foreign media reported that the initiative would re-start the peace process.Britain, France and Germany were behind the initiative for the meeting of the Quartet, comprised of the United States, the United Nations, Russia and the European Union.The final status proposal in effect is an adoption of the PA agenda although the PA agreed several years ago to achieve final status through negotiations with Israel. Instead, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has adopted a strategy of gaining international support for a PA state that would include land on which more than 500,000 Jews now live, in United Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.U.S. President Barack Obama and his advisers accept in principle the PA demands, but an American diplomat told the Associated Press,It wasn't the right time for a meeting. The Obama administration essentially is playing both sides of the fence, opposing a Jewish presence on the land restored to Israel in the Six Day War in 1967 but stalling pro-Arab pressure to force the issue.

European diplomats did not officially react to the American stand against a meeting, but one official told the news agency that the Quartet needs to take the lead from the United States to resume Israeli-PA talks.After reports that the United States blocked the proposal, senior PA negotiator Saeb Erekat warned it would encourage Israel to build more homes for Jews and in a way destroying any chance of peace.Abbas called off direct talks with Israel nearly two years ago, despite Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s unprecedented agreement for a 10-month halt of construction of new homes for Jews in Judea and Samaria.Abbas balked at the offer, which was made to meet his condition for talks. Abbas then said it was not extensive enough and should cover all areas in Jerusalem that the PA claims as the seat of its proposed capital of a new Arab country.He has demanded that Prime Minister Netanyahu accept a PA state along the 1949 Armistice Lines but has not clarified what issues are open for negotiation.Despite the conditions set down by Abbas, both AP and the French news agency AFP reported that the European proposal was designed to rejuvenate the peace process, which has become a code word for a Palestinian Authority country based on its demands.AFP reported that the talks ended in late September when Israel refused to extend a moratorium on settlement building in what the news agency refers to as the occupied territories. However, the same report did not note that the direct talks consisted of a one-time, three-hour photo-op meeting orchestrated by President Obama following a year of Abbas’ refusal to sit down with the Netanyahu government.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Van Rompuy to Greece: Don't blame Europe
LEIGH PHILLIPS 12.04.2011 @ 18:11 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - As rebellion grows amongst MPs and ministers in Greece's ruling Pasok party, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy on a visit to Athens has told the country it should not blame the European Union for its problems as the austerity and structural changes being imposed should have been done long ago.[The austerity measures] are unavoidable and should have been implemented long ago. Europe is not to be blamed. On the contrary, the Union is helping to preserve Greece's future, he said in remarks made following a meeting with Prime Minister George Papandreou.I know that this message is not always well understood but it is the simple truth.He also warned the Greek government that it needs to stick to its commitments to cuts and privatisation. In recent weeks, popular opposition to such measures has extended to the government, with MEPs and ministers openly criticising reforms.The key is to continue implementing the courageous reforms and privatisations that have been agreed in a timely and effective manner,he said.On fiscal consolidation it is important to stick to the programme objectives.In comments to the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy, he also said that Belgium, his own country, had undergone similar structural adjustment in the late nineties, before the advent of the eurozone, and had successfully reduced its national debt.

Some of your countrymen resist the reforms, others are anxious about the outcome. And we all understand these feelings. However, I want to share with you my confidence that it can be done, he continued.We in Belgium restored competitiveness by imposing wage restraint. We privatised telecoms and public banks. We asked special powers from the parliament.However, he also said that he was disdainful of discussion of peripheral countries within the EU: Each member state had to face economic problems in its recent history. Most of them made mistakes, whether they belonged to the north or the south, to the east or the west.At the same time, he said other countries had undergone difficult reforms and that he understood the feelings of people who felt Greece was undisciplined. In core eurozone countries in the last year, populist newspapers such as Germany's Bild newspaper whipped up anti-Greek sentiment.People in all 27 countries in our Union ... feel it was bad enough to support their own banks and difficult enough to save jobs in their own country... One can thus understand a feeling that the same rules of discipline must apply to all EU countries.Spokespeople for the president said he did not want to single out any particular actor within Greek society for criticisms of Europe or the austerity programme, but said that criticism is coming from many quarters.President Van Rompuy has in recent months regularly spoken out against euroscepticism.He delivered his message ahead of a grueling few days for the the governing Pasok party, which is tearing itself apart over austerity and privatisation measures.

On Wednesday, the prime minister is to address the party's parliamentary group and try to put an end to the growing rebellion and on Friday, the cabinet is to put the finishing touches on its 2012-15 economic reform plan.On Tuesday last week, finance minister George Papaconstaninou was sharply criticised by deputies from his own party for the scale of austerity imposed and multi-billion-euro support for domestic banks.And at the end of March, a series of MPs came out in favour of an end to the memorandum of understanding signed with the EU-IMF-ECB troika.

Our own problems

But a government spokesman told EUobserver that the EU Council president was not criticising government ministers or MPs. He was addressing us the Greek people, the average Greek, not the government, that the average Greek should stand with us in solving the economic problems of Greece. These are not someone else's problems, they are our problems, Konstantinos Pappas, spokesman for the Greek mission to the EU, told this website.On that, we are are of the same opinion, completely in alignment with the president.There are also some political parties that strongly object to the whole idea of the programme [of austerity], he continued.There are some ministers too with some objections, he conceded.But the government's position is clear.

Foreign ministers wary of EU military role in Libya
VALENTINA POP 12.04.2011 @ 22:12 CET

EUOBSERVER / LUXEMBOURG - Foreign ministers have endorsed the basic outlines of an EU military-humanitarian mission to Libya, amid concern about putting ground soldiers into a volatile situation. The meeting in Luxembourg on Tuesday (12 March) saw ministers approve the so-called concept of operations (Conops) for the Eufor Libya mission, the first step in the planning of any mission which involves military assets.Speaking to EUobserver on his way out of the meeting, Finnish foreign minister Alexander Stubb said that no more official information will come out until the UN makes a formal request for EU military assistance to deliver humanitarian aid or to help get refugees out.We are only in the planning phase now of Eufor Libya. The next step would have to be a request from the UN office for the co-ordination of humanitarian affairs (OCHA) on opening or maintaining of humanitarian passages. It could be evacuations, but that request hasn't come yet. If that request comes, then we'll have to take more concrete measures. There are no decisions coming out of here today, he said.Earlier in the day, an EU diplomat said France is basically trying to get boots on the ground via an EU humanitarian-military mission. But a lot member states are very reluctant in signing up to that.But speaking after the meeting French foreign minister Alain Juppe ruled out any military role for the EU operation.For her part, foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton said In support of humanitarian efforts, military assets are to be used very carefully. She said the wariness of foreign ministers and the UN was not sceptical, it was right.Another EU contact noted that confusion remains on what Eufor Libya will do despite the ministers' three-hours-long lunchtime debate.

Some member states stress more the humanitarian aspects and do not want any reference to the security situation, others say the two are intertwined and press for the two to be mentioned, the source said. It is a very unusual military operation - we don't know what we would be asked to do - so planning is very loose at the moment.The ministers on Tuesday also adopted sanctions on 26 Libyan energy companies and met with representatives of the Libyan National Transition Council (NTC) in Benghazi for a two-hour-long coffee.The NTC foreign affairs representative, Ali Al-Issawi, later told reporters that the EU and other international actors should do more to protect civilians.We ask countries from all over the world to support the [UN] resolution, mainly the protection of civilians. We have now about ten thousand killed by Gaddafi soldiers, we have about 20,000 persons missing whom we believe are prisoners in Gaddafi prisons. We have around 30,000 injured, 7,000 of them fighting between life and death. So we want more efforts regarding the protection of Libyan civilians against this aggression going on on the ground, he said.France's Juppe seized upon the NTC meeting - an Ashton initiative - as an EU-wide signal of recognition for the council. But Sweden, among others, is wary of giving the impression the EU is closed to talks with other opposition players. Juppe went on to criticise Nato for not doing enough to protect civilians, particularly in the port of Misrata, which is under heavy artillery fire by the Gaddafi forces.

Nato is mainly using French assets, as we are the number one contributor at this stage. I hope others will follow suit. I have confidence in [Nato chief Anders Fogh] Rasmussen's capacity to gather all necessary assets. It is unacceptable for Misrata to be still subject to bombings from Gaddafi troops,he said.It certainly doesn't mean to engage in riskier operations, but to exert the maximum military pressure possible and strike military targets. If artillery is firing at Misrata, it means there is artillery which needs to be tracked down and annihilated.Nato meanwhile informed the media that it had destroye four Gaddafi tanks and an ammunition storage depot.We're keeping pressure on to stop the violence, Charles Bouchard, the commander of the Nato-led operations said in a statement.

Over 10,000 Rebels, Civilians Killed in Libya So Far
by David Lev APR 12,11

The revolution in Libya has not been going as smooth as it did in Tunisia and Egypt. Unlike in those countries, anti-government rebels have faced steep losses – with as many as 10,000 people killed, and 20,000 more missing, rebel leaders say. In addition, they say, some 30,000 have been injured – many with serious, life-threatening injuries.The report on rebel losses, released over the weekend, has prompted the International Committee for the Red Cross to investigate. The ICRC will send a team by boat to the western rebel city of Misrata to see for themselves the level of violence being committed against rebels.For now, the rebels say they are in a standoff, and they expect fighting to continue for the foreseeable future. A ceasefire proposed by African diplomats fell apart even before it got off the ground, and fighting broke out again in Misrata, as well as near Ajdabiya, a key eastern town that has changed hands numerous times.Besides violence at the hands of forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, residents of rebel-held cities have been suffering privation and even, in some cases, starvation. A UN World Food Program cargo ship carrying medical supplies, doctors and other aid arrived in Misrata last Thursday. The ship was carrying more 600 metric tons of food, including wheat flour and vegetable oil - enough to feed more than 40,000 people for a month.

In an interview with the BBC, former Libyan Foreign Minister and Intelligence chief Moussa Koussa, warned that Libya could turn into another Somalia – a country run by warlords and violent gangs – if the civil war continued much longer.But rebel leaders dismiss that notion. Speaking to reporters, rebel media spokesman Mustafa Gheriani said,We don't have ethnic groups waging war against each other. We don't have political parties waging war against each other. There are two fronts. There are the people of the country, the Libyan people, and Colonel Qaddafi and his regime and his kids. Gehrani said that the revels would keep fighting as long as needed.

Despite the continued NATO air support against Libyan Army forces, rebel leaders say that more effort was needed to help protect civilians. Speaking to reporters, Ali Al Isawi, a representative of Libya's National Transition Council (NTC), told reporters after a meeting in Luxembourg, We want more efforts regarding protection of civilians against this aggression.French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe agreed, and said that NATO should step up its involvement in order to help prevent further civilian casualties in Libya.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

New battles in Libya, strains in NATO campaign
By SEBASTIAN ABBOT, Associated Press - APR 12,11

AJDABIYA, Libya – Moammar Gadhafi's forces fired rockets along the eastern front line and shelled the besieged city of Misrata Tuesday as France and Britain urged their NATO allies, including the United States, to intensify the campaign against the Libyan regime.But hopes for a rebel military victory have faded and diplomatic efforts to find a solution were picking up momentum. On Wednesday, diplomats will gather in the tiny Gulf nation of Qatar for a meeting of the Libya contact group, which aims to coordinate an international response to the conflict.On Monday, African leaders tried to broker a cease-fire but were immediately shot down when the opposition insisted that Gadhafi give up power immediately.For his part, Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim insisted that any talk of Gadhafi stepping down, which has also been suggested by some European officials, was imperialist thinking and he lamented that the rebels had not followed suit in accepting the African proposal.The Libyan rebels have proven to be far weaker and outnumbered by Gadhafi's forces and without NATO airstrikes, they could face a crushing military defeat. So any realistic rebel hopes of unseating Gadhafi now rest firmly on international political pressure combined with sustained NATO airstrikes.French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said NATO was not doing enough to ease the pressure on Misrata. He also said the alliance should be firing on the weapons being used by Gadhafi's troops to target civilians in Misrata, the only city in western Libya that is still partially in the hands of rebels. International groups are warning of a dire humanitarian crisis in Misrata, Libya's third-largest city.

Paris lamented the limited U.S. military role in Libya and chided Germany for its lack of involvement. In a dire analysis, France's defense minister acknowledged that without full American participation in the combat operation, the West probably can't stop Gadhafi's attacks on besieged rebel cities.Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague agreed that the allies must intensify their efforts.France has played a particularly aggressive role in Libya in recent weeks, pushing diplomatically for a U.N. resolution to allow the international military operation and firing the first strikes in the campaign. France also was the first to recognize the Libyan opposition and to send a diplomatic envoy to the rebel-held city of Benghazi.A NATO general rejected the criticism and said the alliance is performing well and protecting civilians.Dutch Brig. Gen. Mark Van Uhm said the alliance was successful in enforcing an arms embargo, patrolling a no fly zone and protecting civilians. I think with the assets we have, we're doing a great job, he said.NATO took over command of the operation over Libya from the U.S. on March 31.NATO said Tuesday that its aircraft destroyed four tanks near Zintan, 75 miles (120 kilometers) southwest of the capital, Tripoli. A separate strike also destroyed an ammunition storage site southwest of Sirte, a Gadhafi stronghold and home to the Libyan leader's tribe, the military alliance said.British jets patrolling near Misrata also fired missiles and destroyed a tank, according to the U.K. military spokesman Maj. Gen. John Lorimer.

We will continue to strike at the regime's supplies and supply lines and reduce their ability to fight, said the commander of the NATO operation, Canadian Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard.In fighting on Tuesday, several rockets struck Ajdabiya, the main gateway town into the rebel-held east. Witnesses also reported shelling in Misrata.
Weeks of fierce government bombardment of Misrata have terrorized the city's residents, killing dozens of people and leaving food and medical supplies scarce, according to residents, doctors and rights groups.Unfortunately, with the long-range war machines of Gadhafi forces, no place is safe in Misrata, a medical official in Misrata told The Associated Press, asking that his name not be published for fear of reprisals. Six people were killed Monday and another corpse was brought in Tuesday, he said.The Libyan government, however, maintained that the problems in Misrata were the work of terrorists and authorities were actually working to succor the populace of the city.The Libyan government is doing its best to help the people of Misrata and the foreign workers trapped there under the conditions imposed by the terrorists, by the armed gangs, said spokesman Ibrahim.Libyan opposition spokesman Ali al-Issawi said Gadhafi's soldiers have killed about 10,000 people throughout the country and injured 30,000, with 7,000 of the injured facing life-threatening wounds. He said another 20,000 people were missing and suspected of being in Gadhafi's prisons. However he did not say how he arrived at those number and there was no way to independently verify them given the restrictions on foreign journalists and international organizations operating inside Libya.

Previous estimates by human rights groups and others had much lower death tolls in the hundreds or a few thousand.On the eve of the Libya contact group meeting in Qatar, the Gulf country confirmed it was behind last week's sale of more than $100 million of crude oil from areas held by Libya's rebels. Though not a surprise, the announcement underscores Qatar's position as the most prominent Arab state supporting opposition forces seeking to topple Gadhafi.Also Tuesday, a British government official said Libya's former Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa is traveling to Qatar to share his insight on the workings of Gadhafi's inner circle.Koussa, who fled to England in late March, is the highest ranking member of Gadhafi's regime to quit so far. He had been a longtime aide throughout Gadhafi's 42-year rule.Koussa has been asked to attend the conference on Libya being held in Doha as a valuable Gadhafi insider, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.MI6 agents stopped questioning Koussa last week, according to the official. Koussa had been staying in a safehouse until late Monday night, according to Noman Benotman, an ex-member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and relative of Koussa who has been in regular contact with the former foreign minister since he fled to Britain.Although Koussa was provided with legal advice, Benotman said he believed he had cleared most of the legal hurdles in the U.K. surrounding his alleged involvement in the Lockerbie bombing and arming the IRA.Britain's Foreign Office confirmed the trip in a statement Tuesday, saying that Koussa was traveling today to Doha to meet with the Qatari government and a range of other Libyan representatives.Associated Press writers Ben Hubbard in Benghazi, Hadeel al-Shalchi in Tripoli, Paisley Dodds and Raphael G. Satter in London, Raf Casert in Luxembourg and Selcan Hacaoglu in Turkey contributed to this report.

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

REVELATION 16:3-7
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.(enviromentalists won't like this result)
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they(False World Church and Dictator) have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Japan equates nuclear crisis severity to Chernobyl By RYAN NAKASHIMA and SHINO YUASA, Associated Press – Tue Apr 12, 12:59 pm ET

TOKYO – Japan ranked its nuclear crisis at the highest possible severity on an international scale — the same level as the 1986 Chernobyl disaster — even as it insisted Tuesday that radiation leaks are declining at its tsunami-crippled nuclear plant.The higher rating is an open acknowledgement of what was widely understood already: The nuclear accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant is the second-worst in history. It does not signal a worsening of the plant's status in recent days or any new health dangers.Still, people living nearby who have endured a month of spewing radiation and frequent earthquakes said the change in status added to their unease despite government efforts to play down any notion that the crisis poses immediate health risks.Miyuki Ichisawa closed her coffee shop this week when the government added her community, Iitate village, and four others to places people should leave to avoid long-term radiation exposure. The additions expanded the 12-mile (20-kilometer) zone where people had already been ordered to evacuate soon after the March 11 tsunami swamped the plant.And now the government is officially telling us this accident is at the same level of Chernobyl, Ichisawa said.It's very shocking to me.Japanese nuclear regulators said the severity rating was raised from 5 to 7 on an international scale overseen by the International Atomic Energy Agency due to new assessments of the overall radiation leaks from the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant.

According to the Vienna-based atomic energy agency, the new ranking signifies a major accident that includes widespread effects on the environment and people's health. The scale, designed by experts convened by the IAEA and other groups in 1989, is meant to help the public, the technical community and the media understand the public safety implications of nuclear events.The International Atomic Energy Agency said Japan's decision did not mean the disaster had been downplayed previously.
Early actions by Japanese authorities — evacuations, radiation warnings and the work at the plant to contain leaks — showed they realized the gravity of the situation, Denis Flory, an IAEA deputy director general, said.The upgraded status did not mean radiation from the plant was worsening, but rather reflected concern about long-term health risks as it continues to spew into the air, soil and seawater. Most radiation exposures around the region haven't been high enough yet to raise significant health concerns.Workers are still trying to restore disabled cooling systems at the plant, and radioactive isotopes have been detected in tap water, fish and vegetables.Iitate's town government decided Tuesday to ban planting of all farm products, including rice and vegetables, expanding the national government's prohibition on growing rice there.Japan's prime minister, Naoto Kan, went on national television and urged people not to panic.Right now, the situation of the nuclear reactors at the Fukushima plant has been stabilizing step by step. The amount of radiation leaks is on the decline, he said.But we are not at the stage yet where we can let our guard down.Japanese officials said the leaks from the Fukushima plant so far amount to a tenth of the radiation emitted from Chernobyl, but about 10 times the amount needed to reach the level 7 threshold. They acknowledged the emissions could eventually exceed Chernobyl's, but said the chance that will happen is very small. However, regulators have also acknowledged that a more severe nuclear accident is a distinct possibility until regular cooling systems are restored — a process likely to take months.

Although the Fukushima accident is now at the equal level as Chernobyl, we should not consider the two incidents as the same, said Hiroshi Horiike, professor of nuclear engineering at Osaka University. Fukushima is not a Chernobyl.In Chernobyl, in what is now the Ukraine, a reactor exploded on April 26, 1986, spewing a cloud of radiation over much of the Northern Hemisphere. A zone about 19 miles (30 kilometers) around the plant was declared uninhabitable.Thirty-one men died mostly from being exposed to very high levels of radiation trying to contain the accident. But there is no agreement on how many people are likely to die of cancers caused by its radiation. No radiation exposure deaths have been blamed on the leaks at Fukushima Dai-ichi. Two plant workers were treated for burns after walking in heavily contaminated water in a building there.The tsunami, spawned by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake, knocked out cooling systems and backup diesel generators, leading to hydrogen explosions at three reactors and a fire at a fourth that was undergoing regular maintenance and was empty of fuel. Workers have been improvising for weeks with everything from helicopter drops to fire hoses to supply cooling water to the plant.Hidehiko Nishiyama, a spokesman for Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, noted that unlike in Chernobyl there have been no explosions of reactor cores, which are more serious than hydrogen explosions. In that sense, this situation is totally different from Chernobyl, he said.NISA officials said they raised the incident level because of the cumulative amount of radioactive particles released into the atmosphere. Other factors included damage to the plant's buildings and accumulated radiation levels for its workers.The revision was based on cross-checking and assessments of data on leaks of radioactive iodine-131 and cesium-137. Officials did not say why they skipped level 6 or when exactly the radiation level exceeded the level 7 threshold.

Based on government estimates, the equivalent of 500,000 terabecquerels of radiation from iodine-131 has been released into the atmosphere since the crisis began, well above the several tens of thousands of terabecquerels needed to reach level 7. A terabecquerel equals a trillion becquerels, a measure of radiation emissions. The Chernobyl incident released 5.2 million terabecquerels into the air.We have refrained from making announcements until we have reliable data, Nishiyama said. He also emphasized that no more major leaks are expected from the reactors, though he acknowledged more work is needed to keep the reactors stable.Work to stabilize the plant has been impeded by continued aftershocks, the latest a 6.3-magnitude quake Tuesday that prompted plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co., or TEPCO, to temporarily pull back workers. Work removing highly radioactive water, a necessary step before cooling systems can be restored, finally resumed around 7:30 p.m.In his televised address, Kan gave the nation a pep talk, telling people to focus on recovering from the disasters that are believed to have killed 25,000 people.Let's live normally without falling into excessive self-restraint, he said.We should eat and drink products from the quake-hit areas as a form of support.Many of the more than 14,500 people still listed as missing from the quake and tsunami are thought to have been swept out to sea. A month after the disaster, more than 145,000 people are still living in shelters.Among them is Kenichi Yomogita, a plumbing contract worker at Fukushima Dai-ichi who was off work the day of the tsunami and has not returned. His hometown of Tomioka is in the evacuation zone, and he thinks it will be at least three years before he can return. For now he is living at a shelter in Koriyama, and said the upgraded crisis level has not improved his hopes.At first the reality of this situation didn't sink in, he said,but this news shows how serious it is.

Media Hate Affair with Netanyahu
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu APR 12,11

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s multi-million libel suit on the ’Bibi-tours reportage is only the latest chapter in a long history of media hate for the Prime Minister.The media has been pounding away at Prime Minister Netanyahu ever since he was elected to his first time of office in the last 1990s, eking out a narrow victory over now President Shimon Peres.Peres had gone to bed after the early results indicated victory was in his pocket, but a pre-dawn somersault of returns gave Netanyahu a victory of half a percentage point. Media analysts immediately charged that such a small margin of victory was questionable in a democratic state.

Last year, President Shimon Peres came to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s defense by criticizing the Israeli media for extensive coverage of a lawsuit against Sarah Netanyahu by a former employee who claimed she was abused and exploited by the Prime Minister’s wife.Foreign media also have been unkind to the Prime Minister, whose fluent English and communication skills often have vanquished questioners. During the Second Lebanon War in 2006, he traveled to Britain to speak up for Israel during the Olmert administration. Confronted by David Frost with a question about Israel’s killing civilians during the fighting, Netanyahu suggested, You really don’t want to go down that road.Frost insisted, and Netanyahu reminded viewers of a British aerial strafing in World War II that killed dozens of civilians. A silenced Frost quickly switched the subject.After the Goldstone Report defamed Israel for alleged war crimes in the Operation Cast Lead, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer grilled Netanyahu, although he was not Prime Minister at the time of Cast Lead.Blitzer refused to accept Netanyahu’s explanation that Israel had been under attack for more than eight years by missiles from Gaza, evacuated citizens and soldiers from the area but continued to come under even worse attacks.Blitzer said, You killed a lot of civilians, and Netanyahu replied, We tried to get at the rocketers, those terrorists firing those missiles and rockets who placed themselves, embedded themselves in homes and schools and mosques, and you name it.

Blitzer answered, All right.In Israel, mainstream media also dealt roughly and one-sidedly roughly with Netanyahu while treating other party leaders with kid gloves. During one episode in another campaign, Netanyahu was recorded telling Likud supporters that the media are afraid of the Likud party's popularity. He repeated in cadence, They are afraid,receiving a thunderous echo from his backers.The recording was played over and over against on Voice of Israel government radio, whose analysts compared it to a Nazi-like chant that could be viewed as illegal incitement.In a totally unrelated but parallel ploy, Voice of Israel several years ago accused the Israel Meteorological Bureau of scaring the public by predicting a blizzard three days ahead of time. The radio channel repeatedly broadcast the forecast and then suggested to the forecasters that they were to blame for causing a panic.(Israel NationalNews.com)

Rains pound Grenada, flooding forces evacuations
– Tue Apr 12, 5:45 pm ET

ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada – Unseasonable heavy rains have caused landslides on the Caribbean island of Grenada, where officials on Tuesday relocated families away from swollen rivers that flooded homes and destroyed small fishing boats.We should be in the dry season, but we are experiencing so much rain, Grenada Prime Minister Tillman Thomas said while he toured the island's northwest region.Flooding turned the small coastal town of Gouyave into a jumble of mud, trees, sand and stones. More than 20 families were left without shelter.Deputy Disaster Coordinator Terrence Walters said no one died or had been reported missing, but residents in the western parishes of St. Mark and St. John lost their belongings. Some 15 fishing boats also were wrecked, he said.Up to six inches of rain fell during the 24 hours through Tuesday morning and more rain was expected, said John Peters at the state meteorological office.

Iowa Town Pulls Together After Devastating Tornado
William Browning – Tue Apr 12, 3:02 pm ET

Mapleton, Iowa, was decimated by an EF3 tornado on Saturday. Like any small town, when tragedy strikes it affects everyone. As many as 15 blocks of Mapleton were destroyed by a tornado measured about three-fourths of a mile wide. Almost half of the city's residents have been displaced due to partial damage to over half the town.
In cases such as this, quick thinking saved many lives. Local authorities and trained spotters gave residents as much as 10 to 15 minutes of warning instead of five minutes with such fast-approaching storms. Houses can be replaced, lives cannot.

The twister was on the ground for over three miles. The Mapleton storm was one of four tornadoes that hit Iowa that night. Many of the trees that gave the town its name caused damage to homes when they were toppled like twigs. Residents have repeated what other small towns echo across tornado alley -- in times like this, we come together.Welcome to tornado season.Those of us in the Midwest are used to this time of year. From April until June, we listen to weather alert radios and if we're outside we listen for the high-pitched wail of tornado sirens. Despite better warning systems, dozens of people die every year in tornadoes. The lowest number of deaths occurred in 1986 when only 15 people were killed because of tornadoes. Even as recent as 2008, there were 125 deaths attributed to the fast-moving storm.The record number of deaths is still 794 during the massive 1925 tornado outbreak. As many Iowans know, when tornadoes approach they should be taken seriously. If only everyone had the moxie of Mapleton's citizens there would be fewer casualties during tornado season.May is the peak time for tornadoes along five states of the Great Plains. South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas brace for the annual spring ritual of taking shelter when warnings are issued.

Like other towns across America, Mapleton will rebuild. It can draw inspiration from Greensburg, Kan. When the entire town was destroyed in 2007, they chose to rebuild the entire city not only with green building practices but also with houses that can withstand tornadic winds.Homes are now more energy efficient, built stronger and the community in Kansas has come together. Mapleton will be no different. Disasters bring people together for one purpose and Mapleton will move on. All of us in tornado alley can take heart that tornadoes may take our physical houses, the people around us are what make our towns a home.

Earthquake jolts northeast Japan, no tsunami warning
APR 12,11

(Reuters) – An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.8 hit northeastern Japan on Tuesday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said, shaking buildings in capital Tokyo.
The epicenter of the earthquake was at Fukushima prefecture, the agency said, adding that no tsunami warning had been issued.Tokyo Electric Power Co, operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in northeastern Japan, said workers had not been evacuated and work at the complex was continuing normally after the quake.

Japan government downgrades economy view on earthquake
By Kaori Kaneko - APR 12,11

TOKYO (Reuters) - – Japan's government on Wednesday downgraded its assessment of the economy for the first time in six months, saying it is showing weakness after a devastating earthquake and tsunami last month battered the northeast coast.The revision is in line with the Bank of Japan, which also cut its assessment of the economy last week in the wake of the March 11 disaster, saying it would remain under strong downward pressure for some time.The economy is showing weakness recently due to the influence of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the government said in its monthly economic report for April.That compared with the previous month's report that said the pickup in the economy was only weakly self-sustaining and there was concern about the influence of the quake.The government also downgraded its views on key aspects of the economy, including exports, industrial production and private consumption, after the disaster and subsequent nuclear safety crisis disrupted supply chains and triggered power shortages.The condition of the economy is no longer flat or at a standstill, but rather the direction is downward, said Shigeru Sugihara, director of macroeconomic analysts at the Cabinet Office.

The government expects the weakness to continue for the near term but with a pickup resuming along with a recovery in production, reflecting solid overseas economies and the effects of various policy measures.The government also warned of downside risks to the outlook that could stem from power supply constraints, slow progress in restoring supply chains and the impact of rising oil prices.The government also cut its assessment on exports for the first time in four months, saying there are concerns about a decline due to last month's disaster. Previously, it said exports were showing movement toward picking up.The Cabinet Office also cut its assessment on industrial production for the first time in five months, saying manufacturing activity was stagnating.The government's monthly report also cut its view on private consumption for the first time in two months, saying that some weakness was seen recently.(Reporting by Kaori Kaneko; Editing by Edmund Klamann)

Asian tigers should help poorer neighbors - World Bank
By Emily Kaiser – Tue Apr 12, 6:58 pm ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – China and other fast-growing Asian economies that have benefited from global trade have a responsibility to help poorer neighbors enjoy the same opportunities, a top World Bank official said on Tuesday.Sri Mulyani Indrawati, one of three managing directors at the World Bank, said rebalancing the global economy should be about more than just reducing the U.S. trade deficit and trimming China's $2.8 trillion reserves. It should also include lifting up less-developed countries.China's export-driven economy enjoyed 30 years of more or less peaceful growth, without the frequent crises that have plagued many other emerging markets, she said in an interview ahead of the World Bank's twice-yearly meetings this weekend.They used the global market as their export destination, and that's why they could enjoy very rapid growth for a very long time, Indrawati said.Other Asian economies hoping to emulate China's exporting model can no longer rely as heavily on voracious U.S. consumers now that the financial crisis has sapped Americans' wealth and borrowing power.Indrawati, a former finance minister for Indonesia whose name has been floated as a possible presidential candidate, said the crisis has taught smaller emerging economies that globalization can offer opportunities as well as risks.Countries with close trade ties to the United States suffered steeper economic slides when the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy froze global credit markets.

The Group of 20 rich and emerging economies, a club that includes China, India and other Asian leaders, agreed in 2009 to work toward more balanced growth to try to make the world less vulnerable to crisis.Much of the focus has been on China and United States, the two biggest sources of imbalance. But Indrawati thinks the rebalancing effort can provide wider benefits.As China and other large, rapidly developing economies gradually redirect their economies toward domestic demand, they can become a source of support for the entire region's development.If the country is big enough -- you talk about China, India or even Indonesia -- they can create their own domestic demand, she said.You are going to have a more harmonious development of supply and demand so that you can have growth without inflation or ... financial destabilization. That is the art.(Editing by Leslie Adler)

Tim Hortons #982, Walkterton, Ontario, Canada - told Tim Horton's no longer gives out cups of water Tim Hortons #982, Walkterton, Ontario, Canada - told Tim Horton's no longer gives out cups of water

Tim Hortons #982 Walkerton, Ontario

I have a complaint regarding the consistency of policy at Tom Horton's stores.I am a black coffee drinker and have been ordering my coffee with ice to cool it down enough to drink for years now. Tim Horton's have now taken away that option by taking away the ice! I initially tried to have the server cool my coffee with a little water, however this was not a good fix ,as I found my coffee either too hot or in most cases received a coffee so cold and watered down that it barely tasted like coffee.I tried another approach by ordering a cup of water on the side and cooling the coffee down myself. This fix was working out well for me, although a little inconvenient, as I had to pull over in order to safely perform this ritual, at least I could get a coffee that wasn't going to burn my lips off.This all changed for me on Saturday April 24th at 7:00 am. Whilst ordering my morning coffee (which I have done for several years now) I was told that Tim Horton's no longer gives out cups of water.

I was at the very least, not pleased and was FORCED to buy a bottled water for the soul purpose of using an ounce of it to cool my coffee.Out of curiosity when passing through Kincardine 30 minutes later, I stopped at their local Tim Horton's on Highway 21 and ordered the same order..Large black coffee with a cup of water and was given my order ..no problem.Today when I went to Kincardine I visited the other store located on Queen Street and ordered the same , again no problem.I picked up a complaint form at the Walkerton store on the Saturday I was denied the cup of water, and after receiving my request of water at two other stores was motivated to fill it out.I personally took the complaint in to the Walkerton store, requested to speak with a manager. I was able to speak with a supervisor and communicate my dilemma to her. She was very pleasant, however the answer I received from her was Tim Horton's do not give out cups of water.I challenged her on this stating that in two different Kincardine Tim Horton's, this was not a problem at which time she told me that, that was the policy of that particular store.

First off I think that is what initially I should have been told ,as I was about to boycott all Tim Horton's stores and take my business elsewhere.Secondly..Come on..How much does a cup of water cost people! I mean I know the cup is a couple of cents, but after all I am drinking black coffee! Aren't they saving on the cream and sugar from many black coffee drinkers? Can they not afford to give me a cup of water? Will I be forever forced to buy a bottled water to get that much needed ounce of water to cool my coffee????? Do I need to wait 40 minutes, which incidentally it takes to cool a large black coffee down to the point where it can be drunk.I believe that policy like this should be governed by Tim Horton's Head Office, not by the cheap franchise owners who want to save a couple of cents. They could be costing mega dollars in revenue losses, to other Tim Horton's franchises with poor customer service like this.Any comment from Tim Horton's would be greatly appreciated.Doug D

How can something be sold, go corporate, be sold, go corporate, be sold yet again and this is considered a success??? This is the second attempt after being shut down, with threats and the use of trademark infringement to stop us from telling our story. This is a story about a franchise. One that was started many years ago with the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey player Tim Horton and the stores that followed in his name. We will refer to the company as The TDL Group Ltd so we can tell our story, and now we have current store owners to share their experience also. First and foremost, this is not meant to bash or say bad things as the products are good and store owners are doing their very best to try and make a living selling a good product. What this site is about is the current state of this franchise and the laws that are in place that don’t protect the franchisees. We will share our story and the lawsuit that followed so we can help the current store owners so they are fully aware of what will happen to them once their operations fail and the steps the company will take to make them sign a confidentiality agreement and the timeline that it will follow. My family has nothing left to lose and the threats of The TDL Group Ltd do not scare us as the sharing of information is the most important aspect. The only thing The TDL Group Ltd is afraid of is the sharing of information. If every person involved in this company would share what’s happening I’m sure the tactics that they use would stop. The power of everyone coming together is strong and the fact some store owners are being singled out with others being given special deals so they do not join the class action lawsuit. For the store owners who think that the deal they are being given to not join the class action will stay in place forever, you are wrong. When your time is up in the system they will turn on you and you will now be left in a situation where you are truly alone and now this website will be your information booklet. As store owners you have to see how other store owners were treated and see what the outcome will be for you and your family. This is not a story of success but a story of failure and the complete destruction of our family. I thank all store owners who shared their information with us, and we will in turn protect your identity and help build your class action lawsuit to include more store owners and help achieve your goals. Anyone wanting to share information with us can contact us through the site and know your identity will be kept private. We have been overwhelmed with people asking us for our help. The best way we can help you is to share our information and let prospective franchisees get the true information and help guide them with the proper questions to ask and the right lawyer and accountants to see. If you’re just interested and want to know what really goes on, please post a comment and tell us what you think. We all live in a free country here in Canada and we’d like to think that freedom of speech is alive and well and some corporation with deep pockets can’t scare us or a host to shut the site down and prevent the truth from being told. Thank you to everyone for your support and we will in turn be the bridge to bring everyone together and to get the truth out there for the public to see.

We will not sign a confidentiality agreement to let this keep happening. Although our family has lost everything, we have not lost hope and we have not stopped wanting to help others with our experience. Our case was not successful and we ran out of money to continue to pursue this. But a conference was held on franchising and our case was front and centre, and this is what they thought of the judge’s decision;

Canadian Franchise Association Legal Day – March 3, 2009
A. COMMON LAW GOOD FAITH

It appears that in Manitoba, at least, a franchise agreement does not impose obligations of utmost good faith on the parties. The contention that it does was advanced by the franchisees and related parties in The TDL Group Ltd. v. Zabco Holdings Inc. The trial judge refused to follow the decision of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Machias v. Mr. Submarine , stating that the franchisor-franchisee relationship is an ordinary commercial one that gives rise to the simple duty to perform the contract in good faith, but not to a higher duty than that. Nor was the franchisor a fiduciary of the franchisee. Accordingly, the franchisor did not owe a pre-contractual duty to warn the franchisee about the vicissitudes of carrying on business in Winnipeg; nor did it owe the franchisee a higher duty than to act reasonably and honestly during the performance of the contract.To read all of this report follow this link; http://www.gowlings.com/resources/PublicationPDFs/LevittN_Mar2009.pdf

Take a look around the site and tell us what you think. Take a look at the operation of the store and see that almost everything is a fixed cost in a 24/7 operation. The only thing that changes on a day to day basis is the volume of traffic your store has and the cost of goods to run it. If you’re a current store owner and your cost of goods exceeds the 30-32% range than you simply aren’t making money. The only thing that you need to share with other store owners is your sales and your cost of goods. If they are above this and the only company you purchase goods from is The TDL Group Ltd then you know you are in serious trouble. If your rent or royalties have already been reduced then you are already in serious trouble. Everyone in the system needs to share what deal they get with one another so everyone is on the same playing field. Here in Manitoba every store had a different deal and we will show the transcripts of our trail about the concessions that are required just so you can stay in business. As you can read from the above statement, The TDL Group Ltd does not have to tell you that other stores are in trouble or if they are being resold over and over again. Thank you for visiting and check back often as we will continue to post more and more information for you to view.

There seems to be more than coffee brewing at Tim Hortons.Frustrated employees have banded together on the popular social networking site Facebook to give cranky customers the basic rules on how to order their daily fix if they want to get good service.A trip to Tim Hortons is part of the daily routine for many Canadians, but it doesn't necessarily seem to be the warm and fuzzy experience the commercials make them out to be for people on both sides of the counter.Facebook hosts more than 500 groups about Tim Hortons, some appreciative, some definitely not.This is for everyone who gets fed up with people who don't know what they want, and for workers who have to put up with this everyday. If people would just listen to these rules when ordering the world will be a better place, writes Janice Morgan, who identifies herself as the administrator of one group called Tim Hortons Rules of Ordering and More that has some 3,400 members.The 80 rules or so spell out how to make your visit to Tims more efficient: When you want a coffee with no sugar, do not say no sugar it sounds like your saying one sugar, or If you don't say you want anything in your coffee don't expect to get anything in it, we can't read your mind and Stop telling us to stir it well there is no button on the cash register for that.Although somewhat amusing, the rules are from people who identify themselves as Tim Hortons employees and who clearly wish customers would spend a day in their shoes.Almost everyday someone is rude to me and my coworkers, writes someone who identifies herself as Meghan Watts. We try hard to get everyone's order right, but we do make mistakes from time to time. That's no reason to jump down our throats, yelling at us and trying to get free coffee.

In other Facebook groups such as Poor Souls Who've Worked at Tim Hortons, I Survived Making Ice Caps (iced cappuccinos) in the Summer (Tim Hortons employees) and I worked @(at) Tim Hortons and SURVIVED!, cranky workers share horror stories about testy clients.A worked identified as Nick Bolarinho wrote that one customer threw his iced cappuccino in his face and yelled this is s--- Another says that he still has nightmares about his former Tim Hortons job.But the coffee slingers are not the only ones airing their beefs on Facebook. Frustrated clients also have their support groups such as Tim Hortons Screws up my Order Every Time and Tim Hortons Service Sucks.Once I ordered a medium coffee, muffin and a bottle of water and I actually got two apple juices (in a bag), a large hot chocolate, a bagel and a muffin (not the one I asked for). They even charged me for what I did order..., complains a Kristine Julian from Halifax.Someone identified as Rachelle Richards sums it up this way: unhappy employees makes for shitty customer service, and therefore unhappy customers.But there is a silver lining for Tim Hortons employees. Many Facebook groups, like Addicted to Tim Hortons, are very positive and they seem to always have time for Tim Hortons.The public affairs director for Tim Hortons didn't return calls Thursday.CanWest MediaWorks Publications Inc.
