PSALMS 91:7-11
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

The first list of 477 terrorists to be freed Tuesday for kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit includes dozens serving 924 life sentences for murdering or organizing the murder of Jews.The other terrorists were sentenced to a collective total of hundreds of years in jail, but all of them will see the light of day on Tuesday in the unprecedented exchange for Shalit, who is expected to arrive in Israel in Tuesday.
Hamas still might torpedo the arrangement with demands for the release of more terrorists, but heavy international pressure may prevent any attempt to abort the deal.Among the terrorists to be freed, barring an unlikely successful appeal to the High Court by terror victims and their families are the murderers of Nachshon Waxman, Effie and Yaron Unger and Yosef and Hannah Dickstein.Also to be released are those responsible for the massacres at the Dolphinarium in Tel Aviv the Sbarro Restaurant in Jerusalem and the Park Hotel on the eve of Passover in Netanya.Included on the list who will be allowed to return to their homes in Judea and Samaria or Jerusalem along with another 40 who may do so but are subject to limitations.
Among those to be freed are:
— Idris Rajbi, involved in an attack that killed 22 Israelis;
— Bassam Snineh, who murdered a yeshiva student Kerman fourteenth;
— Jihad Irmor, who kidnapped and murdered Wachsman;
— Husam Badran, one of those responsible for bombings at the Dolphinarium, Sbarro and the Park Hotel;
— Abed Amro, a member of the terrorist squad that sent a suicide bomber to the Cafe Hillel in Jerusalem;
— Omar Sarhan, the knife murderer of three Israelis in 1990; and
— Fahd Lodi, involved in the kidnapping and murder of Israeli soldier Yaron Chen.
US on High Alert, Conducts Drill in Israel and Saudi Arabia-The US holds a large-scale aerial exercise in Israel and Saudi Arabia; a navy fleet sails to the region in preparation for terror attacks By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 10/16/2011, 1:19 PM
The United States is conducting a week-long large-scale aerial exercise in Israel and Saudi Arabia as a navy fleet sails to the Mediterranean in preparation for any surprise flare-ups in the Middle East as Israel and frees 1,027 terrorists and security prisoners in exchange for kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit.Intelligence officials have said that terrorist groups, particularly Hizbullah and those based in Gaza, will try to stage attacks on American and Israel targets in the Middle East while the exchange takes place.The U.S. Transportation Command and its Air Forces Transportation will be testing its ability to provide a rapid strategic airlift response to major crises and contingencies, according to DebkaReport.The American, Saudi and Israel armies are on high alert following last week’s American accusations that Iran plotted to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington.The United States also reportedly is sending the USS John C. Stennis aircraft carrier from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean. It provides combat support for ground troops and can plant mines on coasts of Middle East countries.
Arab Policemen Arrest Jews for Bowing Down on Temple Mount-Arab policemen arrested two Jews, including a prominent Yesha spokesman, for allegedly bowing down and praying on the Temple Mount.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 10/16/2011, 11:22 AM
Arab policemen arrested two Jews, including a prominent spokesman in Samaria, for allegedly bowing down and praying on the Temple Mount Sunday morning.Shomron (Samaria) Liaison Spokesman David Ha’Ivri told Arutz Sheva, We were in a group of 25 men performing the mitzvah of being seen on the Temple Mount during the Sukkot holiday.Suddenly, two policemen said a friend and I were bowing down, which they say is forbidden. Ha’Ivri said the policemen were non-Jews and, responding to Arutz Sheva, identified them as Arabs.I told the policemen, Look, there are Arab watch guards here, and they are not making a fuss about it.The policemen replied,It is forbidden to bow down, and we are just doing our job.He added, Can you imagine being indicted for bowing down? Ha’Ivri said he has ascended the Temple Mount several times a year for the past 20 years and was arrested only once, many years ago.
Abiding by known rules issued by Muslim clerics, Ha’Ivri and the other members of the group did not carry with them any prayer books or religious items, which are forbidden by Jews to being with them when going up to the Temple Mount.

TORAH PORTION FROM OCTOBER 16,2011 6PM - OCTOBER 22,6PM 2011
DEUTERONOMY 33:1 - 34:12
1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.
4 Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
7 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.
8 And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
11 Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
12 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
20 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
21 And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.
24 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
DEUTERONOMY 34:1-12
1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
4 And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.
PROPHETS PORTION
JOSHUA 1:1-18
1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
15 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.
16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
17 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.

MATTHEW 17:1-10
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
MARK 9:2-11
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
LUKE 9:29-36
29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
JUDE 3-4,8-10
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
JUDE 3-4,8-10
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

IS IRAN THREATENING EMP ATTACK ON AMERICA
AMERICA (POLITICAL BABYLON)(NUKED BY SNEAK ATTACK FROM RUSSIA)
JEREMIAH 50:3,24
3 For out of the north (RUSSIA) there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon,(AMERICA) and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD. (RUSSIA A SNEAK ATTACK ON AMERICA)
REVELATION 18:3-6,19-21
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication,(U.S.A) and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,(U.S.A) and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,(AMERICA) my people,(CHRISTIANS,JEWS) that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you,(WITH FALSE FLAG TERRORISM) and double unto her double according to her works:(DOUBLE-EMP 1ST,THEN RUSSIA NUKE ATTACKS U.S.A) in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.(PROBABLY A RUSSIAN CYBER ATTACK WILL SET THE WHOLE SITUATION UP AS RUSSIA HACKS THE USA ARMY COMPUTERS.THEN THE EMP,THEN THE NUKE ATTACK)
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.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
An EMP Threat from Iranian Warship Coming to the US Coast? OCT 15,11
Recent media reports have warned that Iran intends to send a warship to a position just off the USA’s coast (see CNN link and FOX News link below). At first glance, one might think that one such Iranian ship might not be much of a threat to the USA. Iran also has little experience in operating a blue-water navy, and it will have to arrange for ports-of-call and replenishment and refueling options for any such ship stationed just off US waters. I think it would easily obtain support from Cuban or Venezuelan ports, but it takes time to set up such arrangements.
The third link, from the LA Times, discounts the Iranian threat with the statement: It is preposterous to think that the American mainland is under some form of military threat by Iran, [and adds...] The Iranian admiral may bark, but he doesn’t have much of a bite. The author of this article clearly doesn’t get it concerning the nature of the Iranian threat. That one Iranian ship could cause tens of millions of deaths in the eastern USA…with one special kind of missile. That special kind of missile was successfully flight-tested over the Caspian Sea by the Iranian military years ago (see fourth link and fifth link). If the Iranian warship coming near to the US coastline has missiles with EMP warheads on them, it represents a far greater threat than if it had Hiroshima-type nuclear weapons to shoot at the USA.
Many Americans still don’t realize how vulnerable our nation is to an EMP attack by terrorists, nation states or rogue actors. It is a major failure of the US government that it hadn’t enacted a major campaign years ago to warn American citizens about this threat and that major efforts are not underway in every industry and every city to prepare for this type of attack. Put simply, an Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) warhead, if detonated at a high altitude, will fry all electric/electronic/solid state/computerized equipment within all areas on the ground in the line of sight of the pulse the explosion would generate. The higher the missile is detonated, the greater will be the area devasted by the missile because it will have a greater event horizon. As hard as it is for pampered Americans to grasp, one EMP blast would instantly put a large swath of the USA back in the 19th century as there would be no electric or electronic functions surviving. All airborne civilian airplanes would immediately crash, all computerized hospital and nursing home equipment would crash, all cars made after roughly 1980 would cease to operate, all civilian radio and TV stations would be gone, all transportation systems for food and energy distribution would cease to function. The entire banking industry and Wall Street would be toast.
A recent book portrays what would happen if three EMP weapons were simultaneously exploded over the USA. It is entitled, One Second After, and it is authored by William Forstchen. It includes a Foreword by Newt Gingrich, a current GOP presidential candidate, who warns that this threat is real and serious. It also includes an Afterword by a retired US Navy Captain, Bill Sanders, who describes the technical aspects of this very real threat which could potentially happen any time. The book should be read by every American, so more Americans would thoughtfully prepare for such an attack…and survive. The book depicts fictional people and events in a rural North Carolina college community which suddenly finds itself on its own when all electricity and electronics simple end one day. I won’t give away the book’s contents, but you will be amazed in reading how large a percentage of the USA’s population could die within one year without any electicity or electronics. As Captain Sanders says about this book: It was an emotional and gut-wrenching read—because it could actually happen.The East Coast, with its high population density cities and minimal food production, experiences a death rate in this book’s account far higher than you likely imagine possible before reading this book.
Please don’t feel helpless. There are practical ways to protect yourself and electronic components if you simply take advance action to prepare for such an event. The sixth link and seventh link examine how you can prepare to protect your electronic components by building Faraday Cages in which to place back-up electronic equipment you will need to restore fried components after an EMP attack. All automotive, utility, communications, health care and other vital industries should be making large Farady cages so they have protected equipment to quickly rebuild their systems after such an attack. As far as I know, no industry is doing so. Congress has been warned and has known about this threat for many years as the last two links document. As far as I know, Congress has responded it is usual manner…by doing nothing.
The US military has known about the EMP threat since before the Reagan years. I was told about it by a now-deceased USAF officer in the 1970s. The book notes that Reagan made great efforts to “harden” military electronics so the US military’s equipment and weapons systems could survive such an attack. Apparently, subsequent administrations have not made essential efforts to make sure military equipment is properly protected. I’ll give away one item from the above-mentioned book: It makes its point that the US government has been so complacent about not making sure all essential equipment is hardened against an EMP attack by having the US President and his entire entourage being among the first to die because Air Force One was in the air at the time the EMP attack occurred and all its equipment was not EMP-protected. I suggest you read the book, but it is gut-wrenching, indeed. You will never look at our high-tech society the same after reading this book. I’ll also briefly mention that the book is significantly in harmony with the warnings of my Gog-Magog blog as it has a major Asian nation [hint: their capital is Beijing] occupying a large swath of the western USA with its foreign army as the book concludes.
We Americans (and Westerners) live in a Fool’s Paradise, thinking we are invulnerable to attack and that the delicate high-tech systems our lives depend on are oh-so permanent. The fictional book, One Second After, depicts the USA being hit with three EMP missile blasts fired from ships off our coasts. In the real world, we now have reports that Iran is about to station a warship off our coasts and we know Iran successfully test-fired EMP-capable missiles years ago. Do they also have EMP warheads, either produced in Iran or bought from China, Pakistan or Russia? Iran calls the USA the Great Satan, so we are their number one target. I hope the US military keeps a very close watch on that Iranian ship when/if it arrives within missile range of the USA, and that assets are in place to shoot down any missile fired from that ship as soon as it is launched to limit the likely EMP damage to the USA.
I hope that readers have read and taken action on my article, Should Christians Prepare for Future Hard Times? Frankly, every American, Christian or not, should make reasonable preparations for themselves and their families, but many Christians have an escapist attitude masquerading as faith which can be summed up as: I don’t have to do anything, God will take care of me no matter what happens.The Bible exposes that attitude as dead wrong. When God gives people advance warnings about future calamities, he expects people to take action or else. If Noah hadn’t built the Ark after God warned him about a future Deluge, Noah and the human race would have perished. If Joseph had not made prodigious preparations for a seven-year famine about which God gave advance warning, Egypt and its surrounding populations would have starved to death. God has given many advance warnings to Bible-readers that in the latter days, global calamities will occur, so, like Noah and Joseph, we have been given advance warnings and God holds us responsible for being warned. Noah and Joseph heeded God’s warnings and made serious preparations…and lived. What kind of preparations have you made?

GILAD SHALIT TRANSFERRED TO EGYPT
EU commission willing to meet Indignados in Brussels
Today OCT 14,11 @ 17:53 By Leigh Phillips
The European Commission is willing to meet with representatives of the growing indignado anti-austerity movement and has actively attempted to make contact with the young people, a contingent of whom who have marched from Madrid to Brussels protesting a European Union they say places the interests of banks and big business ahead of ordinary citizens.If the indignados come here, Of course I would feel obliged to meet with them, employment and social affairs commissioner Laszlo Andor told reporters on Thursday (13 October).Inspired by the Arab Spring, the non-violent movement kicked off on 15 May as young people took over the squares of Spanish cities. The scale of the protests have waxed and waned throughout the year, but between 6.5 million and 8 million Spaniards have participated in the protests according to an estimate by RTVE, the Spanish public broadcaster, and pollsters report that some 80 percent of the population back their cause.Last weekend, a group of indignados arrived in Brussels after an 80 day trek from Spain. Hundreds of marchers have also made their way to the European capital from Germany and the Netherlands.The Spanish indignados have in turn inspired similar protests in Greece, Israel, Pakistan, India and the United States, where under a different title - first Occupy Wall Street, then Occupy Boston, Chicago and so on - encampments of young people have targetted stock exchanges and other symbols of economic power.
Whatever they call themselves, the movement, which has won high-profile backing from Joseph Stiglitz, the former chief economist of the World Bank, and Paul Krugman, winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize for Economics, has clearly tapped into a vein of popular dissatisfaction with high unemployment and cuts to social programmes while banks receive trillions in bail-outs. The protests have since spread to over a 150 cities around the world.On Saturday, demonstrations are planned in 951 cities and 82 countries, the movement claims.The Hungarian commissioner, who had a long history on the academic left before joining the EU executive, said: I am absolutely sympathetic about exposing indignation about unemployment.However, he criticised their targetting of EU institutions: They should be aware that the Spanish situation was not created here ... to target the European Commission is probably not right.They should go to Frankfurt instead,he joked in a reference to the headquarters of the European Central Bank.Andor’s staff have tried to make contact with the protestors via the commission’s offices in Spain. They add that the commissioner would even be willing to visit the Parc Elizabeth in the European capital, where they have set up camp.If he were invited to the park where they are camped, he could come. He would consider an invitation,said one official.He’s open. Why would he not be willing to meet them? But the indignados must come with a concrete series of complaints to discuss, his staff say: There has to be a minimum of things to talk about. They have to be really forward with what they want. [The commissioner] does not want to talk about food additives or nuclear power. But he could talk about unemployment and jobs. Do they see a case for European intervention in this area? The openness on the part of the employment commissioner contrasts with their reception at the European Parliament on Tuesday after they had been asked by a left-wing Spanish MEP, Willy Meyer, to a meeting to discuss their concerns.Despite being invited into the building by the euro-deputy, Belgian riot police, including officers on horseback, blocked a group of about 30 indignados from entering the building upon the request of the parliament’s services.
A group of seven was finally let in after MEPs complained.The security services behaved in an unacceptable manner to prevent the indignados from entering and treated them like criminals, instead of ordinary people coming in peace to present their concerns, said Meyer after the incident.A spokesman for the left-wing United European Left grouping in the chamber, David Lundy, told EUobserver: It was just so over the top. These people had zero intention of storming the parliament. And to think that the square in front of the parliament has just been renamed Solidarnosc Esplanade, after another democracy protest movement.
Indignados and MEPs debate the crisis
The EU doesn’t represent citizens
This website caught up with one of the activists involved who arrived in Brussels separately from the marchers to meet with NGOs and discuss the growing protest movement.Javier Toret, a Barcelona organiser with Democracy Real Ya (Real Democracy Now), the grassroots citizens' organization that was one of the catalysts for the wider protests, explained why they are targetting the EU and not just their own domestic political and economic elites.We believe that real democracy is no longer possible in one country, but on a European level, he said.The commission, the European Central Bank - they are imposing austerity on us, yet they are not democratic institutions. They are not elected by citizens and they do not represent our interests.He says the movement is not anti-EU, but that in the wake of the crisis, the whole European project must be rebuilt from the ground up.Listing a set of far-reaching demands that extend well beyond not merely commissioner Andor’s areas of responsibility, but all the legal powers of the EU executive, Toret did not apologise for the movement’s radical aims.It is necessary to completely refound the EU institutions,he said, adding a comment that could perhaps have come out of the mouth of former Belgian prime minister and arch euro-federalist Guy Verhofstadt:We need a new European constitution written by the citizens.He said that the attempt at writing a European constitution that was defeated by referendums in France and Netherlands in 2005 was doomed to fail because this was organised in a top-down fashion and constitutionalised neo-liberalism at the EU level.This constitution should define new principles of social justice across the European continent, that puts an end to the privileges of politicians and bankers, that goes beyond our current system of political parties and representative democracy and embraces participatory democracy.He insists that such demands are not hopelessly idealistic and points to an EU-accession candidate as an example. He wants European citizens to draft the document directly, like they are doing in Iceland.
Icelandic experiment
In the wake of the small north Atlantic nation’s economic collapse, the country embarked on one of the most radical experiments in democracy in history: A new constitution has been crafted by a 25-member assembly of non-politicians that used online crowdsourcing via Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, incorporating the sometimes bizarre, sometimes very specific recommendations of ordinary citizens.The indignados movement has come under criticism in the press for its at times incoherent demands. At their Brussels encampment, political workshop subjects have ranged from adjustments to Europe’s Common Agricultural Policy, the nature of the eurozone debt crisis and the role of lobbyists in EU policy-making to shamanistic chants and collectivist aesthetics in art.A messy press conference at the camp organised on Thursday took over two hours to complete as all questions could be answered by anyone instead of by professional spokespeople, yielding contradictory responses.
Cracks show in EU austerity doctrine
Today OCT 14,11 @ 18:20 By Leigh Phillips
If the subtle change in emphasis in the EU’s discourse on austerity is to be believed, some in the bloc are beginning to be much more open to policy options beyond public-sector cutbacks.On Thursday (14 October) in a speech to Europe's great and good at an annual Brussels pow-wow of government ministers, journalists, businessmen and even nobility, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso marked a change in strategy, or at least in the rhetoric surrounding the bloc's policy response.Are austerity cutbacks the right solution for Europe’s economic woes? he asked.Responding to his own question, he declared: As you may have guessed, dear friends, the commission does not believe that cutbacks are the solution to Europe's challenges.At the same conference, Poland's finance minister, Jan Rostowski, warned that Cuts could - and this really is true - can make the recession worse.He described a vicious cycle wherein the imposition of austerity on a weak economy can suppress demand, which then inhibits companies' willingness to invest, which frightens other firms from investing and encourages households to save instead of spend. As the economy takes a nosedive, government revenues decline, expanding public debts, forcing further public-spending cutbacks.Brussels has certainly not abandoned austerity as a solution to the eurozone's debt crisis, but some leaders are beginning to concede that it is not the only solution.Yes, sound public finances are an essential part of sustainable growth; they are an essential part of confidence and without confidence there is no growth, Barroso continued.[But] to focus solely on cuts suggests that government over-spending was the only source of the crisis. In fact, we all know that problems with the behaviour and regulation of the financial sector, and problems of political will, are also factors in this crisis.
Barroso warned that the wrong type of austerity could reduce demand and prevent an exit from crisis. We also know that the wrong sorts of cuts could simply send Europe into recession.He said that fiscal consolidation must be joined to structural reform in the public sector - a form of cuts by another name, some, particularly the trade unions that represent government employees, would say.He also said that there is little room for a new round of public spending to kick-start the economy: New growth cannot be funded through more and more public debt,he continued.It is clear that there is more room for structural reform than for fiscal stimulus.But he emphasised the need for investment in new infrastructure in the energy, transport and digital sectors and highlighted the commission’s proposals for the bloc's multi-year budget. The budget ideas involve a new €50 billion investment in infrastructure and EU-level project bonds that could be sold to raise cash for such investments.This effort should be part of a huge pan-European investment programme, which includes an increase in the capital of the triple-A-rated European Investment Bank,he said.The speech paralleled similar comments from European employment commissioner Laszlo Andor, who said that the next bail-out programme for Greece must be a massive, multi-year reconstruction plan, not just another round of austerity.Greece needs to have a reconstruction programme. That's why it's very important how the next programme for Greece, which is in the pipeline, will be orchestrated,he told reporters on Thursday. Will it be orchestrated and presented as another programme of austerity, which will ensure that there are further cuts in expenditure in Greece, or presented in a way that ... launches infrastructure building in Greece?
Bleeding to death
We cannot leave Greece to bleed to death,he added.What does a marshall plan mean? It is a reconstruction plan, it is not punishing but supporting, so long as there is transformation.Ando added that any shift in EU economic strategy is a very incremental one.He said each time EU leaders meet, the debate shifts slightly: You get a bit of a haircut [for bondholders], in another you get a financial transactions tax, in another one a bit of co-financing, but it comes in a very piecemeal way.The question is whether we can develop a critical mass in terms of these new types of measures, which he suggested would depend more on publicly co-ordinated finance than on the private sector.It’s not unheard of that a country depends on multi-lateral loans instead of financial markets. It’s relatively recent that sovereign borrowing is based on financial markets.
Nato and EU expand mission in northern Kosovo

Nato and EU police (Eulex) on Thursday (13 October) stepped up their patrols in northern Kosovo and said they will dismantle barricades set up by Serbs, advising them to stay away from illegal protests.The joint forces dismantled a parallel road created by the local Serbs around the Jarinje crossing point in northern Kosovo to help prevent illegal use of a side road around the official gate and stop smuggling, a Nato press release reads.Nato forces also have the right to remove barricades when the circumstances are appropriate and will not tolerate them indefinitely. Citizens should stay away from the road blockades and barricades, and should not take part in illegal protest activities, the statement added.Last month, Nato had to step in when violence erupted at the Jarinje crossing point, with Serbs setting the border post on fire and bulldozing it. Ethnic tensions have flared in the majority-Serb part of Kosovo after Pristina decided to regain control of its border crossings in July and enforce a trade ban on Serbian goods. A Kosovo policeman was shot dead in the ensuing clashes.Serbia, along with five EU member states, have not recognised Kosovo's independence, declared in 2008. EU police and Nato peacekeeping forces are trying to defuse tensions and clamp down on organised crime and trafficking.Belgrade is under pressure from the EU to resume talks with Kosovo in returning for being allowed to start membership talks with the bloc.Despite accusations from Pristina, the Serbian government maintains that it has nothing to do with the manning of barricades in northern Kosovo. Speaking to B92 radio last week, Serbian minister for Kosovo Goran Bogdanovic said that protesters were ordinary people protesting peacefully, including members of his own family, and that nobody had links with criminal gangs.

Report: Shalit Transferred to Egypt-Egyptian officials tell daily Gilad Shalit has been transferred to Egypt by Hamas pursuant to his exchange for 1,027 terrorists.By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 10/14/2011, 2:14 PM
Egyptian daily Al-Masri Al-Youm reported late Wednesday that Hamas moved captive IDF soldier Gilad Shalit into Egypt pursuant to the deal brokered with Israel for his release.Egyptian officials reportedly told the newspaper Shalit was transferred to Egypt through the Rafiah crossing.According to eyewitnesses, Shalit was driven through the Rafah crossing in a black car that has not undergone any inspection – a common procedure used when moving senior Hamas officials.Shalit, who was kidnapped by Hamas six years ago, has been held in captivity as a bargaining chip for the release of terrorists from Israeli jails. He expected to be handed over to Israel as soon as the prisoner exchange begins on Teusday.His alleged transfer comes on the heels of the government of Binyamin Netanyahu agreeing to release 1,027 prisoners – including some 450 terrorists – from Israeli prisons. Among those to be released are terrorists with soldiers’ blood on their hands and the Sbarro murderess.Hamas has hailed the deal as a victory over Israel and proof kidnapping is a working tactic for the organization – promising more kidnappings and that the freed terrorists would return to haunt Israel in the future.
While Shalit’s release has been met with jubilant celebrations from his family and the mainstream Israeli media, the terms have drawn sharp criticism from a broad spectrum including the families of terror victims, soldiers involved in counter-terror operations, nationalist politicians, and security officials who predict the move will result in spilled Israeli blood.Earlier this week Shin Bet Security chief Yoram Cohen described the deal as tough and difficult, noting 28 confirmed murderers were among the terrorists being released.Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategic Affairs Moshe Yaalon – one of only three ministers to vote against the deal – said the deal was a capitulation to terror which would result in tens if not hundreds of murdered Israelis in the years to come.Hamas proudly summarized the deal saying Israel had promised peace, while they had promised terrorism.
Hamas: Israel Promised No Revenge, We Promised More Kidnappings Hamas terrorists tell the Arab-language media that Israel promised not to harm released terrorists, while Hamas made no promises.By Maayana Miskin First Publish: 10/14/2011, 10:21 AM
Hamas leaders are telling Arabic media that Israel agreed to release terrorists in exchange for Gilad Shalit without a commitment from the terrorist group to stop kidnapping soldiers. Israel tried to get a commitment, but agreed to go ahead without one, according to sources quoted by the pan-Arabic paper Al-Hayat.Hamas also claimed that they managed to extract a promise from Israel not to harm the more than 1,000 terrorists to be released in exchange for Shalit in any way.The report contradicts what Shin Bet head Yoram Cohen said about the planned prisoner release. Cohen told journalists that the exchange deal does not include any Israeli commitment regarding released terrorists’ future.Hamas has portrayed the Shalit prisoner exchange as a victory, and has openly vowed to kidnap more Israelis in order to free more prisoners. Among those who will be released are terrorists who have committed murder, although several senior terrorists will remain in prison.
Deputy Prime Minister Moshe (Bogie) Yaalon slammed the decision Thursday, saying, Our experience has made clear to us the terrorists we are releasing today will murder tens and perhaps hundreds of Israelis tomorrow.
Bereaved Families File Suit to Stop Terrorist Release-Families of victims file suit against mass release of terrorists for Shalit. Sbarro families campaign to take murderess' name off list.By Maayana Miskin First Publish: 10/14/2011, 1:42 PM
Relatives of victims of terrorist attacks have filed an emergency lawsuit against the release of terrorists in exchange for kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. The suit was filed with the help of the Almagor organization for victims of terror.The government has agreed to release more than 1,000 terrorists in exchange for Shalit, including murderers and those who took part in previous kidnappings of IDF soldiers. The release deal has been controversial, with some warning that it will cause a wave of terrorism, while others argue that the state has an obligation to return kidnapped soldiers.The families of those murdered in the Sbarro spearheaded a suit against the release and have launched a campaign to remove the Sbarro murderess who drove the bomber to the site from the list of those to be released.. Fifteen people lost their lives in the suicide bombing. The number to call to join the campaign is 0524239870.Among those filing suit is Hovev Nuriel, whose father Sasson was kidnapped and murdered by terrorists in 2005. The terrorists who murdered Sasson are to be released in the exchange.Nuriel spoke to Arutz Sheva on Friday and explained that his primary concern is not for his own family, but for future victims.This [prisoner exchange] deal will lead to the loss of hundreds of lives, and will create more bereaved families and add to the pain and loss suffered by thousands of Israelis, he said. The deal sends the message that it is possible to deal with Israel through kidnapping and murder of Israeli citizens.
I know my father is not coming back, he continued,I am not speaking from a place of revenge, but rather, from solidarity. I am concerned for every citizen of Israel who could be hurt, whether by these same murderers or by other terrorists who get the message that they can continue to murder – because that is the message that the state and the government are sending.Another issue is justice, he said. Where is the meaning of the judges’ verdict? Where is the justice in the state of Israel? Murderers sentenced to life in prison are to be released after serving fewer than five years in prison, he noted.Sayeed Ibrahim Mohammed Shalada, who stabbed Sasson Nuriel to death while the latter’s hands were tied, was sentenced to life in prison in 2007. In their verdict, the judges wrote, The perpetrator took a person’s life with his own hands, acting calmly and with great cruelty. His actions force us to put him behind bars for the rest of his life.
Op-Ed: Gilad Shalit: It is a Very Sad Day

There were once red lines. There was once (and again) a commission of inquiry headed by a retired judge that made recommendations on exactly how to behave in such cases.

The Nation of Israel is a unique people. We are all mutually responsible for each other, as our Sages said: He who saves one soul, it is as though he saved an entire world.Tonight, I bring the Government a proposal to save Gilad Shalit, to finally bring him home to Israel after five years.Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister, Jerusalem, Israel.The family of Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier that has been in captivity five years, is awaiting reunion with their son. Israel is awaiting his return, alive and sane, into the embrace of a whole nation.The Israeli government, in a special session, decided to free 1000 terrorists in exchange for Gilad.Hamas has ordered Gazans to the streets in a show of celebration and has vowed to continue kidnapping Israeli soldiers and citizens since it is an excellent get out of jail free card.The euphoria is mixed with so much sadness, that one stops in one’s tracks not knowing whether to cry for joy that one person is being returned (hopefully alive and not in body parts as was the case with Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev of blessed memories), while so many of the worst human kind are being let free to engage, once again, in their favorite pastimes:Crushing the skull of a baby, slitting a toddler’s throat, murdering a couple along with their children or a father with his one year old son, or just four people driving together or even just a group celebrating Passover.They do it with glee and fanfare, for only Jewish blood can quench their thirst.
Then they send their own daughters to an activity, such as learning to play the piano or the violin, knowing that she is safe, because Jews would never engage in such atrocities.There were once red lines. There was once (and again) a commission of inquiry headed by a retired judge that made recommendations on exactly how to behave in such cases. It sounds cold, cruel, and we are mere humans. How can any one of us decide if the life (or the remains) of one soldier justifies setting free numerous terrorists who murdered in cold blood and are certain to do so again? This is exactly the reason for the existence of such guidelines, well thought out in advance, that should be followed when the pressure is immense and the considerations go beyond the individual being held in captivity.For five long years Israel has not dared, or was unable due to a plethora of reasons, to free Gilad Shalit from captivity, dead or alive. There was intelligence suggesting he was in Sudan and not in the tunnels of Gaza. Israel did not, probably could not, do anything. It was so much easier to pull off miracles when less of the world was complicit in such deep anti-Israel hatred as today.Imagine, just for a second, Israeli Special Forces setting Shalit free now. Imagine that the agreement now being reached had exposed the whereabouts of Shalit and opened a window of opportunity to act. Unlikely, but what a comforting thought.Instead, what Israel should—but will not—do is to extract a price, so dear, so painful, so outrageous that Hamas, Hizbullah and any other Iranian crony will know: DO NOT MESS WITH US.Why are terrorists receiving clemency from a death sentence to vacation-and-receive-education in Israel? Israel does not execute murderers (with the exception of Eichmann). It is time for this policy to change. Expedite the departure of these sub-humans, their early introduction to the 72 virgins awaiting them (and whatever awaits female suicide bombers).
Enter Israel to kidnap another soldier? Israel should mercilessly go on the offensive and respond. Israel tried to do so in the Second War in Lebanon (which exposed the Israeli military as unprepared and untrained). Has any lesson been learned? Will it be any different tomorrow? The next time they commit their atrocities against Israelis? We cannot, say those at the helm.Our hands are tied, say the lawyers. We must not, say the conscientious objectors who care more about the enemy than about human life.So here is the guarantee: Shalit is not the last, and what will Israel hold next time as a bargaining chip? If all red lines have been wiped out and ignored this time around, why would an enemy respect Israel and not demand more? Israel’s enemies know and understand preciousness of one Jewish life to the Jewish people, and they use this to their ultimate advantage.May Shalit return home alive with body and faculties unscathed. Yet, those concerned about Shalit’s mental health after five years in captivity should also consider the mental health of the hundreds of families whose loved ones perished at the hands of these terrorists, now being freed, who chose unspoken cruelty and executed their missions in cold blood. Who will consol and comfort them? From where will they derive strength when they go to comfort and support all the new families sure to be entered to the circle of misery and sorrow? Terror will not end. Democratically elected Hamas has a face, hands and feet. These must be cut, one after the other, until there are no more. Until each and every Gazan understands that Hamas affiliation means certain death. Only then will Israel’s multitude of enemies take a step back and internalize the lesson. Only then Israel might be taken slightly more seriously than the miserable image projected at present.Shalit may be on his way home, but at what price to the State of Israel?

The European Commission is willing to meet with representatives of the growing indignado anti-austerity movement and has actively attempted to make contact with the young people, a contingent of whom who have marched from Madrid to Brussels protesting a European Union they say places the interests of banks and big business ahead of ordinary citizens.If the indignados come here, Of course I would feel obliged to meet with them, employment and social affairs commissioner Laszlo Andor told reporters on Thursday (13 October).Inspired by the Arab Spring, the non-violent movement kicked off on 15 May as young people took over the squares of Spanish cities. The scale of the protests have waxed and waned throughout the year, but between 6.5 million and 8 million Spaniards have participated in the protests according to an estimate by RTVE, the Spanish public broadcaster, and pollsters report that some 80 percent of the population back their cause.Last weekend, a group of indignados arrived in Brussels after an 80 day trek from Spain. Hundreds of marchers have also made their way to the European capital from Germany and the Netherlands.The Spanish indignados have in turn inspired similar protests in Greece, Israel, Pakistan, India and the United States, where under a different title - first Occupy Wall Street, then Occupy Boston, Chicago and so on - encampments of young people have targetted stock exchanges and other symbols of economic power.
Whatever they call themselves, the movement, which has won high-profile backing from Joseph Stiglitz, the former chief economist of the World Bank, and Paul Krugman, winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize for Economics, has clearly tapped into a vein of popular dissatisfaction with high unemployment and cuts to social programmes while banks receive trillions in bail-outs. The protests have since spread to over a 150 cities around the world.On Saturday, demonstrations are planned in 951 cities and 82 countries, the movement claims.The Hungarian commissioner, who had a long history on the academic left before joining the EU executive, said: I am absolutely sympathetic about exposing indignation about unemployment.However, he criticised their targetting of EU institutions: They should be aware that the Spanish situation was not created here ... to target the European Commission is probably not right.They should go to Frankfurt instead,he joked in a reference to the headquarters of the European Central Bank.Andor’s staff have tried to make contact with the protestors via the commission’s offices in Spain. They add that the commissioner would even be willing to visit the Parc Elizabeth in the European capital, where they have set up camp.If he were invited to the park where they are camped, he could come. He would consider an invitation,said one official.He’s open. Why would he not be willing to meet them? But the indignados must come with a concrete series of complaints to discuss, his staff say: There has to be a minimum of things to talk about. They have to be really forward with what they want. [The commissioner] does not want to talk about food additives or nuclear power. But he could talk about unemployment and jobs. Do they see a case for European intervention in this area? The openness on the part of the employment commissioner contrasts with their reception at the European Parliament on Tuesday after they had been asked by a left-wing Spanish MEP, Willy Meyer, to a meeting to discuss their concerns.Despite being invited into the building by the euro-deputy, Belgian riot police, including officers on horseback, blocked a group of about 30 indignados from entering the building upon the request of the parliament’s services.
A group of seven was finally let in after MEPs complained.The security services behaved in an unacceptable manner to prevent the indignados from entering and treated them like criminals, instead of ordinary people coming in peace to present their concerns, said Meyer after the incident.A spokesman for the left-wing United European Left grouping in the chamber, David Lundy, told EUobserver: It was just so over the top. These people had zero intention of storming the parliament. And to think that the square in front of the parliament has just been renamed Solidarnosc Esplanade, after another democracy protest movement.
Indignados and MEPs debate the crisis
The EU doesn’t represent citizens
This website caught up with one of the activists involved who arrived in Brussels separately from the marchers to meet with NGOs and discuss the growing protest movement.Javier Toret, a Barcelona organiser with Democracy Real Ya (Real Democracy Now), the grassroots citizens' organization that was one of the catalysts for the wider protests, explained why they are targetting the EU and not just their own domestic political and economic elites.We believe that real democracy is no longer possible in one country, but on a European level, he said.The commission, the European Central Bank - they are imposing austerity on us, yet they are not democratic institutions. They are not elected by citizens and they do not represent our interests.He says the movement is not anti-EU, but that in the wake of the crisis, the whole European project must be rebuilt from the ground up.Listing a set of far-reaching demands that extend well beyond not merely commissioner Andor’s areas of responsibility, but all the legal powers of the EU executive, Toret did not apologise for the movement’s radical aims.It is necessary to completely refound the EU institutions,he said, adding a comment that could perhaps have come out of the mouth of former Belgian prime minister and arch euro-federalist Guy Verhofstadt:We need a new European constitution written by the citizens.He said that the attempt at writing a European constitution that was defeated by referendums in France and Netherlands in 2005 was doomed to fail because this was organised in a top-down fashion and constitutionalised neo-liberalism at the EU level.This constitution should define new principles of social justice across the European continent, that puts an end to the privileges of politicians and bankers, that goes beyond our current system of political parties and representative democracy and embraces participatory democracy.He insists that such demands are not hopelessly idealistic and points to an EU-accession candidate as an example. He wants European citizens to draft the document directly, like they are doing in Iceland.
Icelandic experiment
In the wake of the small north Atlantic nation’s economic collapse, the country embarked on one of the most radical experiments in democracy in history: A new constitution has been crafted by a 25-member assembly of non-politicians that used online crowdsourcing via Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, incorporating the sometimes bizarre, sometimes very specific recommendations of ordinary citizens.The indignados movement has come under criticism in the press for its at times incoherent demands. At their Brussels encampment, political workshop subjects have ranged from adjustments to Europe’s Common Agricultural Policy, the nature of the eurozone debt crisis and the role of lobbyists in EU policy-making to shamanistic chants and collectivist aesthetics in art.A messy press conference at the camp organised on Thursday took over two hours to complete as all questions could be answered by anyone instead of by professional spokespeople, yielding contradictory responses.
Cracks show in EU austerity doctrine
Today OCT 14,11 @ 18:20 By Leigh Phillips
If the subtle change in emphasis in the EU’s discourse on austerity is to be believed, some in the bloc are beginning to be much more open to policy options beyond public-sector cutbacks.On Thursday (14 October) in a speech to Europe's great and good at an annual Brussels pow-wow of government ministers, journalists, businessmen and even nobility, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso marked a change in strategy, or at least in the rhetoric surrounding the bloc's policy response.Are austerity cutbacks the right solution for Europe’s economic woes? he asked.Responding to his own question, he declared: As you may have guessed, dear friends, the commission does not believe that cutbacks are the solution to Europe's challenges.At the same conference, Poland's finance minister, Jan Rostowski, warned that Cuts could - and this really is true - can make the recession worse.He described a vicious cycle wherein the imposition of austerity on a weak economy can suppress demand, which then inhibits companies' willingness to invest, which frightens other firms from investing and encourages households to save instead of spend. As the economy takes a nosedive, government revenues decline, expanding public debts, forcing further public-spending cutbacks.Brussels has certainly not abandoned austerity as a solution to the eurozone's debt crisis, but some leaders are beginning to concede that it is not the only solution.Yes, sound public finances are an essential part of sustainable growth; they are an essential part of confidence and without confidence there is no growth, Barroso continued.[But] to focus solely on cuts suggests that government over-spending was the only source of the crisis. In fact, we all know that problems with the behaviour and regulation of the financial sector, and problems of political will, are also factors in this crisis.
Barroso warned that the wrong type of austerity could reduce demand and prevent an exit from crisis. We also know that the wrong sorts of cuts could simply send Europe into recession.He said that fiscal consolidation must be joined to structural reform in the public sector - a form of cuts by another name, some, particularly the trade unions that represent government employees, would say.He also said that there is little room for a new round of public spending to kick-start the economy: New growth cannot be funded through more and more public debt,he continued.It is clear that there is more room for structural reform than for fiscal stimulus.But he emphasised the need for investment in new infrastructure in the energy, transport and digital sectors and highlighted the commission’s proposals for the bloc's multi-year budget. The budget ideas involve a new €50 billion investment in infrastructure and EU-level project bonds that could be sold to raise cash for such investments.This effort should be part of a huge pan-European investment programme, which includes an increase in the capital of the triple-A-rated European Investment Bank,he said.The speech paralleled similar comments from European employment commissioner Laszlo Andor, who said that the next bail-out programme for Greece must be a massive, multi-year reconstruction plan, not just another round of austerity.Greece needs to have a reconstruction programme. That's why it's very important how the next programme for Greece, which is in the pipeline, will be orchestrated,he told reporters on Thursday. Will it be orchestrated and presented as another programme of austerity, which will ensure that there are further cuts in expenditure in Greece, or presented in a way that ... launches infrastructure building in Greece?
Bleeding to death
We cannot leave Greece to bleed to death,he added.What does a marshall plan mean? It is a reconstruction plan, it is not punishing but supporting, so long as there is transformation.Ando added that any shift in EU economic strategy is a very incremental one.He said each time EU leaders meet, the debate shifts slightly: You get a bit of a haircut [for bondholders], in another you get a financial transactions tax, in another one a bit of co-financing, but it comes in a very piecemeal way.The question is whether we can develop a critical mass in terms of these new types of measures, which he suggested would depend more on publicly co-ordinated finance than on the private sector.It’s not unheard of that a country depends on multi-lateral loans instead of financial markets. It’s relatively recent that sovereign borrowing is based on financial markets.

Then they send their own daughters to an activity, such as learning to play the piano or the violin, knowing that she is safe, because Jews would never engage in such atrocities.There were once red lines. There was once (and again) a commission of inquiry headed by a retired judge that made recommendations on exactly how to behave in such cases. It sounds cold, cruel, and we are mere humans. How can any one of us decide if the life (or the remains) of one soldier justifies setting free numerous terrorists who murdered in cold blood and are certain to do so again? This is exactly the reason for the existence of such guidelines, well thought out in advance, that should be followed when the pressure is immense and the considerations go beyond the individual being held in captivity.For five long years Israel has not dared, or was unable due to a plethora of reasons, to free Gilad Shalit from captivity, dead or alive. There was intelligence suggesting he was in Sudan and not in the tunnels of Gaza. Israel did not, probably could not, do anything. It was so much easier to pull off miracles when less of the world was complicit in such deep anti-Israel hatred as today.Imagine, just for a second, Israeli Special Forces setting Shalit free now. Imagine that the agreement now being reached had exposed the whereabouts of Shalit and opened a window of opportunity to act. Unlikely, but what a comforting thought.Instead, what Israel should—but will not—do is to extract a price, so dear, so painful, so outrageous that Hamas, Hizbullah and any other Iranian crony will know: DO NOT MESS WITH US.Why are terrorists receiving clemency from a death sentence to vacation-and-receive-education in Israel? Israel does not execute murderers (with the exception of Eichmann). It is time for this policy to change. Expedite the departure of these sub-humans, their early introduction to the 72 virgins awaiting them (and whatever awaits female suicide bombers).
Enter Israel to kidnap another soldier? Israel should mercilessly go on the offensive and respond. Israel tried to do so in the Second War in Lebanon (which exposed the Israeli military as unprepared and untrained). Has any lesson been learned? Will it be any different tomorrow? The next time they commit their atrocities against Israelis? We cannot, say those at the helm.Our hands are tied, say the lawyers. We must not, say the conscientious objectors who care more about the enemy than about human life.So here is the guarantee: Shalit is not the last, and what will Israel hold next time as a bargaining chip? If all red lines have been wiped out and ignored this time around, why would an enemy respect Israel and not demand more? Israel’s enemies know and understand preciousness of one Jewish life to the Jewish people, and they use this to their ultimate advantage.May Shalit return home alive with body and faculties unscathed. Yet, those concerned about Shalit’s mental health after five years in captivity should also consider the mental health of the hundreds of families whose loved ones perished at the hands of these terrorists, now being freed, who chose unspoken cruelty and executed their missions in cold blood. Who will consol and comfort them? From where will they derive strength when they go to comfort and support all the new families sure to be entered to the circle of misery and sorrow? Terror will not end. Democratically elected Hamas has a face, hands and feet. These must be cut, one after the other, until there are no more. Until each and every Gazan understands that Hamas affiliation means certain death. Only then will Israel’s multitude of enemies take a step back and internalize the lesson. Only then Israel might be taken slightly more seriously than the miserable image projected at present.Shalit may be on his way home, but at what price to the State of Israel?

October 13, 2011 Russia’s Putin Seeks to Upgrade Ties to China James Brooke | Moscow
Chinese President Hu Jintao (r) and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin pose prior to the talks at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China, Oct. 12, 2011
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has chosen China for his first foreign trip after unveiling his political plan to rule Russia for the next decade.China has overtaken Germany to become Russia’s top trading partner. Trade is up by 45 percent this year, and could triple by the end of this decade to $200 billion. So Prime Minister Putin visited Beijing to strengthen his nation’s most important bilateral tie.The Russian leader spoke in Beijing about growing trade and investment. At every chance, he spoke of the opportunities for joint ventures in such high-tech fields as space, medicine, airplane construction and biotechnology. But at the end of the two-day trip, the biggest deal was for a $1.5 billion Chinese investment in an aluminum smelter in Siberia.Russians' increasing fear is that they are fated to become to China what Canada is to the United States - a convenient source of oil, gas, minerals, timber and other raw materials.Anatol Lieven, a professor at King’s College London, is studying the impact of the rise of China on Russia.Russia, as a whole, would be reduced to something like being the Canada to a Chinese United States, said Lieven.That’s a prospect that the Russian elites find absolutely unacceptable.For the first decade, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a major portion of Russia’s exports to China was high-tech - largely fighter jets and missile systems. But, increasingly, Russia complains that China is copying its Sukhoi fighter jets and other advanced military technologies. Last week, the successor agency to the KGB arrested a Chinese national in Moscow on suspicion of trying to buy blueprints for Russia’s prized S-300 long-range surface-to-air missile system.
Arms sales in the last five years have plummeted, said Linda Jakobson, the lead author of a new report on China-Russia relations for the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. The reason is the Chinese have bought pretty much everything that the Russians are willing or able to sell.The other leg of the Russia-China relationship was energy sales. But here Russia also has lost its edge.
For 16 years, Russia and China have been negotiating the construction of two gas lines from Siberia to China. While the Russians bargained on and on over price, the Chinese built a gas line from the Central Asian nation of Turkmenistan to China.On Tuesday, a British auditing company ranked a gas field in Turkmenistan as the second largest in the world. Now, Turkmenistan, once a Russian colony, plans to ship 60 billion cubic meters of gas a year to China - nearly the same volume that Russia has been talking about since the 1990s.The potential for a really substantial gas partnership existed when they started to negotiate the building of two natural gas pipelines from Russia to China 16 years ago, Linda Jakobson said from Sydney, Australia, where she directs the East Asia Department of the Lowy Institute. In the meantime, in the gas sector, as also in oil, China has made tremendous efforts to diversify, she said.Russia, the largest oil producer in the world, long assumed that it had China over a barrel - a captive market. But while the Russians negotiated endlessly about price formulas, China diversified.Russia has not become a major energy provider to China, said Anatol Lieven. It is a significant provider. But Russia still provides the same amount of energy as Iran and only the same amount as Angola.If sea lanes to China become vulnerable, Russia will regain its competitive edge. But, for now, Jakobson says:Russia is only the fifth largest supplier of crude oil to China today. Because China has very successfully diversified its supplies of crude oil.Lieven says that China has grown so powerful so fast that Russia would not dare to join an alliance with NATO or the United States. Instead, he predicts, that Russia will preserve its autonomy from China by avoiding needless conflicts with Washington.He predicts that in the next Putin decade, the Kremlin will avoid:A diminuition of gratuitious Russian troublemaking, probably in the Baltics, in relations with Venezuela, that kind of thing.
Jakobson, who recently completed a 20-year stay in Beijing, said she was struck by how many Chinese have become condescending toward Russia. She recalled an interview she conducted earlier this year with a Chinese political scientist. He grudgingly admitted that China may not like the United States and Japan, but there are things that China can learn from both societies. But he was disdainful of Russia.But Russia? What do we have to learn from Russia? This nonchalance, nearly overbearing view, that is on the rise in China towards Russia is very telling of the change in perceptions on the Chinese side of Russia, she said.As Prime Minister Putin maps out his decade ahead, he clearly identifies China’s rapid rise as a big challenge for Russia.
FBI Records Talk Radio Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com October 14, 2011
If you call in to the Alex Jones Show or hundreds of other talk radio stations around the country that maintain a web presence, there is a good chance the FBI will recorded you.Mark Weaver, writing for WMAL talk radio in Washington, D.C., reports that the FBI has awarded a $524,927 contract to a Virginia company to record all the internet broadcast talk radio it can find.This doesn’t give us any enhanced capability, prying into or any big brother concerns because this is information that’s being put out on the airwaves, FBI spokesman Paul Bresson told WMAL.com. Its very important to our investigators to know what’s being reported.In order to make his point, Bresson cited the Times Square non-bomber. It’s ideal for cases like that because we can extract information that’s already been reported and help our investigators make better decisions.If you believe this explanation, I have a bridge to sell you.The FBI has functioned since its inception as a national political police force used by the establishment to monitor and if need be expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize (according to the late J. Edgar Hoover) political organizations and individuals deemed a threat to the establishment.
Since at least 1920, the Bureau has routinely engaged in third-degree tortures, making illegal searches and arrests, using agents provocateurs, according to the Church Committee, which conducted the only comprehensive investigation of the FBI’s war on dissent to date.Talk radio – especially right-wing talk radio – poses just such a threat.The Department of Homeland Security has specifically listed rightwing extremist activity as a potential threat that needs to be monitored.In 2009, the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) released an internal report listing then presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr as militia influenced terrorists and advised police to be on the lookout for their supporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties.Recording talk radio has nothing to do with news reports about the supposed Times Square bomber – who was, after all, under surveillance by the FBI at the time he supposedly drove a car filled with fireworks and barbeque grill gas canisters into Times Square – but instead it is designed as yet another effort to monitor the political opposition and (by telling the media about it) as a way to intimidate and make you paranoid when you call into talk radio shows.

EU joins outrage over alleged Iran assassination plot

EU foreign affairs chief Ashton has said that if it is true Iranian officers plotted to murder Saudi Arabia's ambassador in Washington it would constitute a major breach of international law, with serious international implications.Revelation of the plot comes amid mounting pressure from the West over Iran's nuclear programme.
Wheels Come Off Phony Iran Terror Plot
Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com October 13, 2011
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJlvcZ47lMo&feature=player_embedded
The bogus plot cooked up by the FBI and DEA to frame a used car dealer and claim he tried to set up an assassination plot at the behest of Iran’s Quds is coming apart at the seams.Hillary Mann Leverett, a former official in the Bush administration, says the supposed plot makes no sense.She should know something about the Iranians – Mann Leverett was Director for Iran, Afghanistan and Persian Gulf Affairs at the National Security Council in the Bush administration, served as Middle East expert on the Secretary of State’s Policy Planning Staff, and Political Advisor for Middle East, Central Asian and African issues at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations.
Ms. Leverett has published extensively on Iran as well as on other Middle Eastern, Central and South Asian, and Russian issues. She has spoken about U.S.-Iranian relations at Harvard, MIT, the National Defense University, NYU, the Norwegian Institute for International Affairs, and major research centers in China, her bio states.Despite her expertise, the CNN teleprompter reader on duty at the time of her interview lamely attempts to dispute the claim that the Iranians would never engage in such pointless stupidity.Others are disputing this absurd terror plot as well.
Afshon Ostovar, a senior analyst at the Center for Naval Analyses, went on NPR and to say the alleged attack is … drastically out of step with [Quds] modus operandi because carrying out an assassination in the United States is unprecedented. Working with a criminal drug cartel in Mexico is also unprecedented, Ostovar says. He is writing a book about Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is consulting with allies in preparation for an attack on Iran – or at minimum a round of debilitating sanctions, although it should now be obvious the globalists who run Obama prefer the former.The Germans have expressed reservations about the plot as related by the Justice Department, according to Spiegel.Some doubts have been expressed in Washington about the Tehran government’s actual involvement,said Gernot Erler, a Social Democratic Party lawmaker in parliament who specializes in foreign affairs. I’d suggest we take those seriously.
Erler said it was absolutely clear that a confrontation would enormously complicate the activities of the Middle East quartet seeking to broker a peace deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians.In fact, this is exactly the point in addition to taking out Iran the same way Iraq was taken out and Syria will eventually be taken out despite its resistance.The neocon faction of the globalists have made it perfectly clear the idea is to reduce Islamic nations to Stone Age rubble in preparation for IMF and bankster fire sales and looting practices that pass in some quarters as free trade.Not all German politicians are as circumspect, however. Ruprecht Polenz, chairman of the German parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee and a member of Merkel’s Christian Democrats, said Iran has the burden of proof in the current showdown. We shouldn’t act as if this assassination plot is just some sort of American fantasy, he told Spiegel.Uusually, the accuser has the responsbility of providing the burden of proof, but all the normal rules of behavior changed following September 11, 2001.

29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
DANIEL 11:21-23
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

ISAIAH 28:14-19 (THIS IS THE 7 YR TREATY COVENANT OF DANIEL 9:27)
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
Erekat: PA Won't Attend Quartet Confab-Reiterating demands for an Israeli construction freeze and recognition of the pre-1967 lines, PA officials reject Quartet talks in Jordan.By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 10/13/2011, 7:39 PM
Palestinian Authority chief negotiator Saeb Erekat denied on Thursday that PA and Israeli representatives would meet in Jordan to discuss restarting peace talks on October 23.It was said that there are meetings and calls for meetings in Jordan between an Israeli and a Palestinian delegation with the Quartet. This talk is not true. We did not receive anything from them, Erekat told Voice of Palestine radio on Thursday.My view is that anyone who tries to get around the point that Israel must halt settlement and accept the '67 borders is only wasting their time,Erekat added.
The Quartet for Middle East Peace - the European Union, Russia, United States, and United Nations - last week announced October 23 as the date for the meeting without consulting officials in Jerusalem or Ramallah.Quartet officials previously submitted a plan wherein Israeli and PA officials would resume talks without preconditions with the aim of concluding a final status agreement by December 2012.The proposal came on the heels of PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas' unilateral bid for statehood at the United Nations in September, which faces a promised negative recommendation from the United States in the Security Council.To be approved and passed to the General Assembly for a vote Abbas' application for UN recognition and membership would have to win 9-votes in the 15-member Security Council including positive recommendations from all five permanent members.US secretary of state Hillary Clinton last week reaffirmed US opposition to Abbas' UN application was a dead letter saying its going nowhere.Clinton also reiterated President Barack Obama's position, the road to peace lies through Jerusalem and Ramallah, not New York.But Abbas, currently in Paris for consultations with French president Nicolas Sarkozy, whose nation is also a permanent member of the Security Council, made it plain the Quartet plan holds no interest for him.There will be no negotiations for the sake of negotiations, he said.
Israel has accepted the Quartet plan saying it is ready to resume talks without preconditions with both sides raising reservations at the negotiating table, and is willing to attend the October 23 meeting.At the same time, Israel has rejected Abbas' demand that Israel suspend construction in Judea, Samaria, and eastern Jerusalem as a precondition for talks saying it is merely a fait accompli to forestall talks.A previous 10-month building freeze by Israel aimed at satisfying identical PA demands and drawing officials in Ramallah to the table was rebuffed and met with mounting preconditions that ended in Abbas' bid.
Clinton Endorses Negotiations With Terrorists-US secretary of state Hillary Clinton praised the Gilad Shalit deal, which her own nation never would have made.By A7 Hebrew Service First Publish: 10/13/2011, 10:46 PM
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday to congratulate him on his deal with Hamas for the release of Gilad Shalit. Clinton reportedly told Netanyahu the decision took courage and leadership.For his part Netanyahu thanked Clinton for her well-wishes and said that it was a difficult decision for him, being a moment where leadership is tested.Observers say Clinton's sentiments are particularly surprising given the enduring and iron-clan policy of the United States against negotiating with terrorists, instead preferring to mount rescue operations where viable, or to leave captured citizens in captivity.Clinton's call came after Netanyahu's government approved a deal to exchange kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, who has been held by Hamas for nearly six years, for 1,027 terrorists from Israeli jails.Meanwhile, IDF chief of staff Benny Gantz and IDF Head of Personnel, General Orna Barbibay, met Thursday with the Shalit family to update them on the technical details of the deal. Reportedly, Hamas will transfer Shalit to Egypt, who will in turn, transfer him to Israel.
Yishai: Release Jewish Security Prisoners-Interior minister Eli Yishai has requested the government release 12 Jewish security prisoners in light of the Gilad Shalit deal.By A7 Hebrew Service First Publish: 10/13/2011, 11:13 PM
Interior Minister Eli Yishai (Shas) is advocating the release of 12 Jewish security prisoners convicted of terrorism related activities, Arutz Sheva learned.Before the cabinet vote on Tuesday to approve the release of 1,027 terrorists for kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, Shmuel Medad presented Yishai with a list of Jewish security prisoners currently held in Israeli prison and asked him to request their release.
The list of Jewish security prisoners reportedly included Ami Popper, Shlomo Dvir, and Ofer Gamliel, among others.It is not presently clear if the petition, which was referred to the Justice Ministry after Yishai presented it, will be honored.Medad told Arutz Sheva, We are against this disastrous transaction to release hundreds and hundreds of murderous terrorists, but if this is to be approved by the Cabinet, they can make this one small gesture for 12 Jewish families whose loved ones have been imprisoned for years in an Israeli prison.Arutz Sheva learned Yishai's initiative is supported by ministers Daniel Hershkowitz, Moshe Kahlon and Yuli Edelstein.Hershkowitz, one of the move's supporters, said without justifying the actions of the Jewish security prisoners, the deal we were going to vote on now [the Shalit deal - ed.] is one of the reasons their actions were taken in the first place. We have to include the pardon of Jewish security prisoners in the equation. Israel may be able to swallow the bitter pill of this deal if we sweeten it.
Yaalon Slams Ministers for Shalit Deal-Deputy PM and Minister of Strategic Affairs says the Shalit deal could result in tens or hundreds of Israeli deaths.By Gavriel Qeenann First Publish: 10/13/2011, 11:47 PM
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategic Affairs Moshe (Bogie) Ya'alon slammed the cabinet's decision to release 1,027 terrorists in exchange for kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit.I am stunned because we are dealing with cases involving murder,Yaalon told Channel 10 on Thursday. My heart says yes, but my head says no. In this discussion we are not only dealing with the Shalit family and their great hurt, but also with and families of terror victims.Should we confirm this decision we release of over 1,000 terrorists. Our experience has made clear to us the terrorists we are releasing today will murder tens and perhaps hundreds of Israelis tomorrow, Ya'alon added.Yaalon said, the deal is a great victory for Hamas, and a a defeat for us in that we are capitulating to terror. The deal will bring significant damage to our deterrence. We are committed to the life of Gilad Shalit, and returning home, but we must also remember our commitment protecting the lives of Israeli citizens.Yaalon was among three ministers who opposed the deal along with Avigdor Lieberman and Uzi Landau.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted on Thursday there was no way to ensure released terrorists would not haunt Israel by striking at the Jewish state in future.There are countries that don't negotiate with kidnappers and you can talk about it with regard to the future, but this situation was inherited from the previous government and we had no choice.Critics say, however, the simple fact that Netanyahu is leading a new government is alone sufficient to justify a change in policy and note he is in no way legally or morally bound by the decisions of his predecessor.
Colombia Rebuffs Abbas, Won't Support UN Bid-PA chairman left Colombia empty handed after a visit aimed at gaining the country's support at the UNSC.By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 10/12/2011, 11:01 AM
Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos on Tuesday rebuffed Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas who had travelled to Bogotá to secure support of his unilateral statehood bid at the United Nations.We want the Palestinian state to exist. But this can only come as the result of a (UN) vote or resolution. It must be the product of negotiations (between Israelis and Palestinians) because this is the only way to achieve peace, Santos said after meeting Abbas in Bogota.Santos also offered to provide Colombian mediation of the crisis, noting that he had discussed the proposal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.Colombia is a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, where Abbas needs at least nine votes out of 15 - including positive recommendations from all five permanent members - for his statehood application to be accepted by the world body.Abbas, in turn, said the PLO was ready to return immediately to the negotiating table, but reiterated his precondition that Israel first freeze construction in Judea, Samaria, and eastern Jerusalem.Abbas has thrown up preconditions as a fait acommpli to forestall negotiations for almost two years, refusing to come to the table, even when Israel did freeze construction for 10-months to meet his demands. Instead, Abbas added additional preconditions.
PLO officials have, in addition to Abbas' present demand, said Israel must also recognize the pre-1967 borders as a basis of negotiations before talks can begin.Israel, which has accepted terms laid down by the Quartet for Middle East Peace - the European Union, Russia, United States, and United Nations - to resume talks without preconditions says the two sides should address their reservations at the negotiating table.Abbas is due to meet with French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Friday in Paris to discuss his now-stalled statehood bid at the UN. France is a permanent member of the UN Security Council.But some observers say – with a negative recommendation in the Security Council promised by the United States, itself a permanent member of the council – that Abbas' concerted media blitz and world tour in lieu of negotiations amounts to tilting at windmills.

MEPs seek US Congress-style investigative powers
Today OCT 13,11 @ 17:43 By Honor Mahony
The European Parliament is seeking major new powers to conduct investigations, including the right to summon European commissioners, officials and national politicians to give evidence to inquiries into breaches of EU law.The US Congress: MEPs want American-type investigative powers (Photo: wikipedia)A draft report passed by the parliament's constitutional affairs committee earlier this week would give MEPs powers similar to those of the US Congress, where both chambers regularly conduct investigations or hearings, including recently in the oil spill by BP in the Gulf of Mexico.Noting the importance of the right of scrutiny to any parliamentary body, the report says a committee of inquiry should be permitted to conduct on-the- spot investigations, to request documents, to summon witnesses, to hear officials and other servants of the Union or of Member States and to request experts' reports.
Most controversially, EU officials will not be able to claim diplomatic immunity to avoid a summons.British Socialist MEP David Martin, author of the report, admits that this is likely to be the most difficult part of negotiations but reasons that as immunity is there to prevent European officials from being pressurised by member states, it should not be an issue if another European institution is demanding that they come to a hearing.Under the proposals, member states should chase up those not obeying a summons to attend a hearing with the measures they would use in a similar situation at the national level. Member states would also be obliged to punish those who give false testimony or try and bribe witnesses.Those giving evidence may be asked to take an oath - I swear that I have spoken the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth while the whole investigation would be wrapped up with the publication of a report.MEPs could end up asking EU commissioners or high level politicians to appear before the committee.But, says Martin, this would be the result of a broader investigation into breach of EU law as we don’t have the powers to investigate individuals. We are not a court of law.
Three toothless inquiries
The parliament has only ever conducted three inquiries in its lifetime - into a VAT fraud, into the handling of Mad Cow (BSE) disease, and into the financial scandal at the Equitable Life Assurance Society.But they were frustrated at the stonewalling over key documents and witnesses.With its legislative powers strongly increased by the Lisbon Treaty, parliament has been chafing to increase its democratic oversight.
But it is unclear how enthusiastic member states will be about the idea of MEPs being allowed to conduct on-the-ground investigation on their soil and question their citizen and politicians.Unfortunately, I think there will be some scepticism around, Martin says but urges member state not to fear inquiries that really get to the truth.The parliament is due to vote on the report in November. Both member states and the commission would then have to give their consent to the rules change.
MEPs are hoping Denmark, with its strong tradition of parliamentary scrutiny, will give the idea a favourable hearing under its EU presidency, beginning in January.

October 13, 2011 Russia’s Putin Seeks to Upgrade Ties to China James Brooke | Moscow
Chinese President Hu Jintao (r) and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin pose prior to the talks at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China, Oct. 12, 2011
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has chosen China for his first foreign trip after unveiling his political plan to rule Russia for the next decade.China has overtaken Germany to become Russia’s top trading partner. Trade is up by 45 percent this year, and could triple by the end of this decade to $200 billion. So Prime Minister Putin visited Beijing to strengthen his nation’s most important bilateral tie.The Russian leader spoke in Beijing about growing trade and investment. At every chance, he spoke of the opportunities for joint ventures in such high-tech fields as space, medicine, airplane construction and biotechnology. But at the end of the two-day trip, the biggest deal was for a $1.5 billion Chinese investment in an aluminum smelter in Siberia.Russians' increasing fear is that they are fated to become to China what Canada is to the United States - a convenient source of oil, gas, minerals, timber and other raw materials.Anatol Lieven, a professor at King’s College London, is studying the impact of the rise of China on Russia.Russia, as a whole, would be reduced to something like being the Canada to a Chinese United States, said Lieven.That’s a prospect that the Russian elites find absolutely unacceptable.For the first decade, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a major portion of Russia’s exports to China was high-tech - largely fighter jets and missile systems. But, increasingly, Russia complains that China is copying its Sukhoi fighter jets and other advanced military technologies. Last week, the successor agency to the KGB arrested a Chinese national in Moscow on suspicion of trying to buy blueprints for Russia’s prized S-300 long-range surface-to-air missile system.
Arms sales in the last five years have plummeted, said Linda Jakobson, the lead author of a new report on China-Russia relations for the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. The reason is the Chinese have bought pretty much everything that the Russians are willing or able to sell.The other leg of the Russia-China relationship was energy sales. But here Russia also has lost its edge.
For 16 years, Russia and China have been negotiating the construction of two gas lines from Siberia to China. While the Russians bargained on and on over price, the Chinese built a gas line from the Central Asian nation of Turkmenistan to China.On Tuesday, a British auditing company ranked a gas field in Turkmenistan as the second largest in the world. Now, Turkmenistan, once a Russian colony, plans to ship 60 billion cubic meters of gas a year to China - nearly the same volume that Russia has been talking about since the 1990s.The potential for a really substantial gas partnership existed when they started to negotiate the building of two natural gas pipelines from Russia to China 16 years ago, Linda Jakobson said from Sydney, Australia, where she directs the East Asia Department of the Lowy Institute. In the meantime, in the gas sector, as also in oil, China has made tremendous efforts to diversify, she said.Russia, the largest oil producer in the world, long assumed that it had China over a barrel - a captive market. But while the Russians negotiated endlessly about price formulas, China diversified.Russia has not become a major energy provider to China, said Anatol Lieven. It is a significant provider. But Russia still provides the same amount of energy as Iran and only the same amount as Angola.If sea lanes to China become vulnerable, Russia will regain its competitive edge. But, for now, Jakobson says:Russia is only the fifth largest supplier of crude oil to China today. Because China has very successfully diversified its supplies of crude oil.Lieven says that China has grown so powerful so fast that Russia would not dare to join an alliance with NATO or the United States. Instead, he predicts, that Russia will preserve its autonomy from China by avoiding needless conflicts with Washington.He predicts that in the next Putin decade, the Kremlin will avoid:A diminuition of gratuitious Russian troublemaking, probably in the Baltics, in relations with Venezuela, that kind of thing.
Jakobson, who recently completed a 20-year stay in Beijing, said she was struck by how many Chinese have become condescending toward Russia. She recalled an interview she conducted earlier this year with a Chinese political scientist. He grudgingly admitted that China may not like the United States and Japan, but there are things that China can learn from both societies. But he was disdainful of Russia.But Russia? What do we have to learn from Russia? This nonchalance, nearly overbearing view, that is on the rise in China towards Russia is very telling of the change in perceptions on the Chinese side of Russia, she said.As Prime Minister Putin maps out his decade ahead, he clearly identifies China’s rapid rise as a big challenge for Russia.
FBI Records Talk Radio Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com October 14, 2011
If you call in to the Alex Jones Show or hundreds of other talk radio stations around the country that maintain a web presence, there is a good chance the FBI will recorded you.Mark Weaver, writing for WMAL talk radio in Washington, D.C., reports that the FBI has awarded a $524,927 contract to a Virginia company to record all the internet broadcast talk radio it can find.This doesn’t give us any enhanced capability, prying into or any big brother concerns because this is information that’s being put out on the airwaves, FBI spokesman Paul Bresson told WMAL.com. Its very important to our investigators to know what’s being reported.In order to make his point, Bresson cited the Times Square non-bomber. It’s ideal for cases like that because we can extract information that’s already been reported and help our investigators make better decisions.If you believe this explanation, I have a bridge to sell you.The FBI has functioned since its inception as a national political police force used by the establishment to monitor and if need be expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize (according to the late J. Edgar Hoover) political organizations and individuals deemed a threat to the establishment.
Since at least 1920, the Bureau has routinely engaged in third-degree tortures, making illegal searches and arrests, using agents provocateurs, according to the Church Committee, which conducted the only comprehensive investigation of the FBI’s war on dissent to date.Talk radio – especially right-wing talk radio – poses just such a threat.The Department of Homeland Security has specifically listed rightwing extremist activity as a potential threat that needs to be monitored.In 2009, the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) released an internal report listing then presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr as militia influenced terrorists and advised police to be on the lookout for their supporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties.Recording talk radio has nothing to do with news reports about the supposed Times Square bomber – who was, after all, under surveillance by the FBI at the time he supposedly drove a car filled with fireworks and barbeque grill gas canisters into Times Square – but instead it is designed as yet another effort to monitor the political opposition and (by telling the media about it) as a way to intimidate and make you paranoid when you call into talk radio shows.

Wheels Come Off Phony Iran Terror Plot
Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com October 13, 2011
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJlvcZ47lMo&feature=player_embedded
The bogus plot cooked up by the FBI and DEA to frame a used car dealer and claim he tried to set up an assassination plot at the behest of Iran’s Quds is coming apart at the seams.Hillary Mann Leverett, a former official in the Bush administration, says the supposed plot makes no sense.She should know something about the Iranians – Mann Leverett was Director for Iran, Afghanistan and Persian Gulf Affairs at the National Security Council in the Bush administration, served as Middle East expert on the Secretary of State’s Policy Planning Staff, and Political Advisor for Middle East, Central Asian and African issues at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations.
Ms. Leverett has published extensively on Iran as well as on other Middle Eastern, Central and South Asian, and Russian issues. She has spoken about U.S.-Iranian relations at Harvard, MIT, the National Defense University, NYU, the Norwegian Institute for International Affairs, and major research centers in China, her bio states.Despite her expertise, the CNN teleprompter reader on duty at the time of her interview lamely attempts to dispute the claim that the Iranians would never engage in such pointless stupidity.Others are disputing this absurd terror plot as well.
Afshon Ostovar, a senior analyst at the Center for Naval Analyses, went on NPR and to say the alleged attack is … drastically out of step with [Quds] modus operandi because carrying out an assassination in the United States is unprecedented. Working with a criminal drug cartel in Mexico is also unprecedented, Ostovar says. He is writing a book about Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is consulting with allies in preparation for an attack on Iran – or at minimum a round of debilitating sanctions, although it should now be obvious the globalists who run Obama prefer the former.The Germans have expressed reservations about the plot as related by the Justice Department, according to Spiegel.Some doubts have been expressed in Washington about the Tehran government’s actual involvement,said Gernot Erler, a Social Democratic Party lawmaker in parliament who specializes in foreign affairs. I’d suggest we take those seriously.
Erler said it was absolutely clear that a confrontation would enormously complicate the activities of the Middle East quartet seeking to broker a peace deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians.In fact, this is exactly the point in addition to taking out Iran the same way Iraq was taken out and Syria will eventually be taken out despite its resistance.The neocon faction of the globalists have made it perfectly clear the idea is to reduce Islamic nations to Stone Age rubble in preparation for IMF and bankster fire sales and looting practices that pass in some quarters as free trade.Not all German politicians are as circumspect, however. Ruprecht Polenz, chairman of the German parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee and a member of Merkel’s Christian Democrats, said Iran has the burden of proof in the current showdown. We shouldn’t act as if this assassination plot is just some sort of American fantasy, he told Spiegel.Uusually, the accuser has the responsbility of providing the burden of proof, but all the normal rules of behavior changed following September 11, 2001.

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.

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

17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
Erekat: PA Won't Attend Quartet Confab-Reiterating demands for an Israeli construction freeze and recognition of the pre-1967 lines, PA officials reject Quartet talks in Jordan.By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 10/13/2011, 7:39 PM
Palestinian Authority chief negotiator Saeb Erekat denied on Thursday that PA and Israeli representatives would meet in Jordan to discuss restarting peace talks on October 23.It was said that there are meetings and calls for meetings in Jordan between an Israeli and a Palestinian delegation with the Quartet. This talk is not true. We did not receive anything from them, Erekat told Voice of Palestine radio on Thursday.My view is that anyone who tries to get around the point that Israel must halt settlement and accept the '67 borders is only wasting their time,Erekat added.
The Quartet for Middle East Peace - the European Union, Russia, United States, and United Nations - last week announced October 23 as the date for the meeting without consulting officials in Jerusalem or Ramallah.Quartet officials previously submitted a plan wherein Israeli and PA officials would resume talks without preconditions with the aim of concluding a final status agreement by December 2012.The proposal came on the heels of PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas' unilateral bid for statehood at the United Nations in September, which faces a promised negative recommendation from the United States in the Security Council.To be approved and passed to the General Assembly for a vote Abbas' application for UN recognition and membership would have to win 9-votes in the 15-member Security Council including positive recommendations from all five permanent members.US secretary of state Hillary Clinton last week reaffirmed US opposition to Abbas' UN application was a dead letter saying its going nowhere.Clinton also reiterated President Barack Obama's position, the road to peace lies through Jerusalem and Ramallah, not New York.But Abbas, currently in Paris for consultations with French president Nicolas Sarkozy, whose nation is also a permanent member of the Security Council, made it plain the Quartet plan holds no interest for him.There will be no negotiations for the sake of negotiations, he said.
Israel has accepted the Quartet plan saying it is ready to resume talks without preconditions with both sides raising reservations at the negotiating table, and is willing to attend the October 23 meeting.At the same time, Israel has rejected Abbas' demand that Israel suspend construction in Judea, Samaria, and eastern Jerusalem as a precondition for talks saying it is merely a fait accompli to forestall talks.A previous 10-month building freeze by Israel aimed at satisfying identical PA demands and drawing officials in Ramallah to the table was rebuffed and met with mounting preconditions that ended in Abbas' bid.
Clinton Endorses Negotiations With Terrorists-US secretary of state Hillary Clinton praised the Gilad Shalit deal, which her own nation never would have made.By A7 Hebrew Service First Publish: 10/13/2011, 10:46 PM
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday to congratulate him on his deal with Hamas for the release of Gilad Shalit. Clinton reportedly told Netanyahu the decision took courage and leadership.For his part Netanyahu thanked Clinton for her well-wishes and said that it was a difficult decision for him, being a moment where leadership is tested.Observers say Clinton's sentiments are particularly surprising given the enduring and iron-clan policy of the United States against negotiating with terrorists, instead preferring to mount rescue operations where viable, or to leave captured citizens in captivity.Clinton's call came after Netanyahu's government approved a deal to exchange kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, who has been held by Hamas for nearly six years, for 1,027 terrorists from Israeli jails.Meanwhile, IDF chief of staff Benny Gantz and IDF Head of Personnel, General Orna Barbibay, met Thursday with the Shalit family to update them on the technical details of the deal. Reportedly, Hamas will transfer Shalit to Egypt, who will in turn, transfer him to Israel.
Yishai: Release Jewish Security Prisoners-Interior minister Eli Yishai has requested the government release 12 Jewish security prisoners in light of the Gilad Shalit deal.By A7 Hebrew Service First Publish: 10/13/2011, 11:13 PM
Interior Minister Eli Yishai (Shas) is advocating the release of 12 Jewish security prisoners convicted of terrorism related activities, Arutz Sheva learned.Before the cabinet vote on Tuesday to approve the release of 1,027 terrorists for kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, Shmuel Medad presented Yishai with a list of Jewish security prisoners currently held in Israeli prison and asked him to request their release.
The list of Jewish security prisoners reportedly included Ami Popper, Shlomo Dvir, and Ofer Gamliel, among others.It is not presently clear if the petition, which was referred to the Justice Ministry after Yishai presented it, will be honored.Medad told Arutz Sheva, We are against this disastrous transaction to release hundreds and hundreds of murderous terrorists, but if this is to be approved by the Cabinet, they can make this one small gesture for 12 Jewish families whose loved ones have been imprisoned for years in an Israeli prison.Arutz Sheva learned Yishai's initiative is supported by ministers Daniel Hershkowitz, Moshe Kahlon and Yuli Edelstein.Hershkowitz, one of the move's supporters, said without justifying the actions of the Jewish security prisoners, the deal we were going to vote on now [the Shalit deal - ed.] is one of the reasons their actions were taken in the first place. We have to include the pardon of Jewish security prisoners in the equation. Israel may be able to swallow the bitter pill of this deal if we sweeten it.
Yaalon Slams Ministers for Shalit Deal-Deputy PM and Minister of Strategic Affairs says the Shalit deal could result in tens or hundreds of Israeli deaths.By Gavriel Qeenann First Publish: 10/13/2011, 11:47 PM
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategic Affairs Moshe (Bogie) Ya'alon slammed the cabinet's decision to release 1,027 terrorists in exchange for kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit.I am stunned because we are dealing with cases involving murder,Yaalon told Channel 10 on Thursday. My heart says yes, but my head says no. In this discussion we are not only dealing with the Shalit family and their great hurt, but also with and families of terror victims.Should we confirm this decision we release of over 1,000 terrorists. Our experience has made clear to us the terrorists we are releasing today will murder tens and perhaps hundreds of Israelis tomorrow, Ya'alon added.Yaalon said, the deal is a great victory for Hamas, and a a defeat for us in that we are capitulating to terror. The deal will bring significant damage to our deterrence. We are committed to the life of Gilad Shalit, and returning home, but we must also remember our commitment protecting the lives of Israeli citizens.Yaalon was among three ministers who opposed the deal along with Avigdor Lieberman and Uzi Landau.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted on Thursday there was no way to ensure released terrorists would not haunt Israel by striking at the Jewish state in future.There are countries that don't negotiate with kidnappers and you can talk about it with regard to the future, but this situation was inherited from the previous government and we had no choice.Critics say, however, the simple fact that Netanyahu is leading a new government is alone sufficient to justify a change in policy and note he is in no way legally or morally bound by the decisions of his predecessor.
Colombia Rebuffs Abbas, Won't Support UN Bid-PA chairman left Colombia empty handed after a visit aimed at gaining the country's support at the UNSC.By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 10/12/2011, 11:01 AM
Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos on Tuesday rebuffed Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas who had travelled to Bogotá to secure support of his unilateral statehood bid at the United Nations.We want the Palestinian state to exist. But this can only come as the result of a (UN) vote or resolution. It must be the product of negotiations (between Israelis and Palestinians) because this is the only way to achieve peace, Santos said after meeting Abbas in Bogota.Santos also offered to provide Colombian mediation of the crisis, noting that he had discussed the proposal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.Colombia is a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, where Abbas needs at least nine votes out of 15 - including positive recommendations from all five permanent members - for his statehood application to be accepted by the world body.Abbas, in turn, said the PLO was ready to return immediately to the negotiating table, but reiterated his precondition that Israel first freeze construction in Judea, Samaria, and eastern Jerusalem.Abbas has thrown up preconditions as a fait acommpli to forestall negotiations for almost two years, refusing to come to the table, even when Israel did freeze construction for 10-months to meet his demands. Instead, Abbas added additional preconditions.
PLO officials have, in addition to Abbas' present demand, said Israel must also recognize the pre-1967 borders as a basis of negotiations before talks can begin.Israel, which has accepted terms laid down by the Quartet for Middle East Peace - the European Union, Russia, United States, and United Nations - to resume talks without preconditions says the two sides should address their reservations at the negotiating table.Abbas is due to meet with French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Friday in Paris to discuss his now-stalled statehood bid at the UN. France is a permanent member of the UN Security Council.But some observers say – with a negative recommendation in the Security Council promised by the United States, itself a permanent member of the council – that Abbas' concerted media blitz and world tour in lieu of negotiations amounts to tilting at windmills.

MEPs seek US Congress-style investigative powers
Today OCT 13,11 @ 17:43 By Honor Mahony
The European Parliament is seeking major new powers to conduct investigations, including the right to summon European commissioners, officials and national politicians to give evidence to inquiries into breaches of EU law.The US Congress: MEPs want American-type investigative powers (Photo: wikipedia)A draft report passed by the parliament's constitutional affairs committee earlier this week would give MEPs powers similar to those of the US Congress, where both chambers regularly conduct investigations or hearings, including recently in the oil spill by BP in the Gulf of Mexico.Noting the importance of the right of scrutiny to any parliamentary body, the report says a committee of inquiry should be permitted to conduct on-the- spot investigations, to request documents, to summon witnesses, to hear officials and other servants of the Union or of Member States and to request experts' reports.
Most controversially, EU officials will not be able to claim diplomatic immunity to avoid a summons.British Socialist MEP David Martin, author of the report, admits that this is likely to be the most difficult part of negotiations but reasons that as immunity is there to prevent European officials from being pressurised by member states, it should not be an issue if another European institution is demanding that they come to a hearing.Under the proposals, member states should chase up those not obeying a summons to attend a hearing with the measures they would use in a similar situation at the national level. Member states would also be obliged to punish those who give false testimony or try and bribe witnesses.Those giving evidence may be asked to take an oath - I swear that I have spoken the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth while the whole investigation would be wrapped up with the publication of a report.MEPs could end up asking EU commissioners or high level politicians to appear before the committee.But, says Martin, this would be the result of a broader investigation into breach of EU law as we don’t have the powers to investigate individuals. We are not a court of law.
Three toothless inquiries
The parliament has only ever conducted three inquiries in its lifetime - into a VAT fraud, into the handling of Mad Cow (BSE) disease, and into the financial scandal at the Equitable Life Assurance Society.But they were frustrated at the stonewalling over key documents and witnesses.With its legislative powers strongly increased by the Lisbon Treaty, parliament has been chafing to increase its democratic oversight.
But it is unclear how enthusiastic member states will be about the idea of MEPs being allowed to conduct on-the-ground investigation on their soil and question their citizen and politicians.Unfortunately, I think there will be some scepticism around, Martin says but urges member state not to fear inquiries that really get to the truth.The parliament is due to vote on the report in November. Both member states and the commission would then have to give their consent to the rules change.
MEPs are hoping Denmark, with its strong tradition of parliamentary scrutiny, will give the idea a favourable hearing under its EU presidency, beginning in January.
