U.S. to Share Secret Labs With Germany

March 23, 2009 | From theTrumpet.com

America trusts Germany with the high technology of its national security.

America has not trusted any other nation with its research into anti-terrorism technology—until now. On March 16, the United States and Germany signed a treaty on scientific and technological cooperation in the field of civil security. The two countries will spend €10-20 million on four major projects by 2012. More importantly, German scientists will gain access to America’s top-secret laboratories, where America tests its latest counterterrorism technology, and vice versa.

“Such openness would have been previously unimaginable,” Spiegel Online writes.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and German Research Minister Annette Schavan signed the treaty over breakfast last Monday.

“The mere fact that Napolitano and Schaven were meeting to talk about using technology to fight terrorism was unusual,” writes Spiegel Online. “Until now, the Americans have kept their efforts to develop new security technologies secret.”

America kept these technologies secret for a reason. “Security technologies” are a matter of national security.

The four main areas in which Germany and America will cooperate are:

  • Understanding, prevention and detection of threats to civil security
  • Forensic science
  • Protection of critical infrastructure and key resources
  • Crisis response, “consequence management” and damage control in the event of serious incidents

These programs are about protecting civilian life, the first duty of any government. Now the U.S. administration is sharing its technology with the nation it fought against in its last major war.

But, 64 years on, World War ii is viewed as ancient history by most. The general consensus is that Germany is a changed nation.

Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry wrote on this subject in May 1999:

Are we so vain that we have failed to learn from the history of our forefathers? Have our leaders become so proud that they fail to learn from the precious lessons of history? Have we forgotten that Germany plunged this planet into two world wars which killed between 60 and 70 million people?

At the time of writing, Mr. Flurry was addressing the decision to allow Germany to establish an air base in Alamogordo, New Mexico. This applies equally to Washington letting Berlin into labs where it tests some of its latest technology. “And what if our gamble with Germany today is dead wrong?” Mr. Flurry wrote. “As Churchill said, it is a mistake you make only once! All Americans will pay the deadly price! It gives us the potential to be attacked from within.” Mr. Flurry continued:

Germany had a history of striking down nations with little or no warning before World War i! Churchill knew their history. “The wars of Frederick and of Bismarck had shown with what extraordinary rapidity and suddenness the Prussian nation was accustomed to fall upon its enemy …. Obviously, therefore, the danger of a ‘bolt from the blue’ was by no means fantastic” [Winston Churchill, World Crisis].

The Germans had a history before World War i of attacking enemies with “rapidity and suddenness”—like a “bolt from the blue.” That is why what America is doing is so dangerous. History proves that Germany cannot be trusted in this vital area of national security. For more on why this is so, read “Alamogordo: A Mistake You Only Make Once.”

Vice President Joe Biden

WASHINGTON – While the subject of Barack Obama's birth certificate is still a topic most press outlets refuse to cover, it became a matter of sport in Vice President Joe Biden's Gridiron Dinner address this weekend.

After mentioning one of the Republican speakers for the evening, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was born in Austria and that one of the Democratic speakers, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, was born in Canada, Biden chortled: "Folks, this is going to be Lou Dobbs' worst nightmare.

From there, Biden transitioned to the birth certificate controversy.


************************************************************************************************

PERSONAL COMMENTARY:

The more I read in the old Testament, the more I am convinced that America's fate has been written in stone by G-D. Its that simple, because American Politicians regardless of who they are and what party they belong are bound and determined to carve up "JERUSALEM" which is the "CITY OF TRUTH" and it belongs to G-D. Only G-D has the paid mortgage on this property.

There is no person on Earth that can lay claim to this land as G-D has given this City to the JEWS, its that simple, I do not care what you or anyone thinks or believes because it is written in concrete in the Bible. The current crop of American Leaders are making the very same mistake as all the rest of our former leaders of America have made and now G-D is going and is in progress of tearing apart the very country he once protected.

That very protection that many of us prayed for is now gone, G-D is now ready to battle with anyone on this Earth especially America. I will post some direct scriptures in English and in Hebrew for you to see. Many people in the Christian "RIGHT" see this as well as I do but there is no turning back now as the damage is done. We are witnessing the complete demise of the financial empire of not only America but of the entire globe and there are no men or women or group of people that could have done this so rapidly as it is unfolding.

You are now witnessing one of the very strange things that G-D has already done in the past when he created the TOWER OF BABEL SCENARIO of ancient times, although this time he has already EVOKED THIS SAME SCENARIO BUT HE HAS NOT CHANGED ANYONE'S LANGUAGE, WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME IS THAT G-D HAS CREATED THE FAILURE OF CERTAIN WORLD AND ESPECIALLY AMERICAN POLITICIANS TO COMMUNICATE. YOU ARE SEEING THIS RIGHT NOW BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES.

I have known this day was coming all my life but I can not explain to you why or how I know. I also see total chaos in America, the more our American politicians interfere in JERUSALEM and in ISRAEL the worse it will become for us here at home. You are now dealing with a very angry G-D and his wrath will show "NO" mercy and there are no rules of engagement when it comes to G-D's revenge on us all.

You do not have to believe one word I am telling you, all you have to do is live long enough to see what is going to happen world wide and especially here at home. There is no way that G-D is going to allow these crooked Politicians to just carve up his personal city, the ARABS do not want peace with the JEWS, they want all JEWS to be gone forever and that just angers your creator.

Just look at what is happening world wide, look at what countries have the black gold = oil... doesn't that tell you something. There will be a slaughter for G-D in Basra. ISAIAH Chapter 34, verse 6. ITS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT OIL AND POWER AND MONEY. The prophet ISAIAH lived 700 years before the Christian era. It gets much worse as you are about to see as I put up some scriptures.

You can thank your greedy Politicians and the people that never seem to have enough money and power, but after all, you are born alone and you will die alone, G-D will have his Angels judge you, no one sees G-D. There is an exception that most of you will not understand, only people like "MOSES" have seen G-D.

I personally direct many of my prayers to ELIJAH the Hebrew prophet. Read the very last chapter and paragraph in "MALACHI".........The Hebrew word for ELIJAH is ELIYAHU"...

At this point in time in my opinion, its too late because it was G-D's plan to put in the people in power and the Jews that are in power are "EREV RAV" ... you can google that term and read about what it means, the very sad part is these Jews do not even know they are "EREV RAV"

Again please let me remind you that I am not asking you to believe one word that I am saying, just wait and see if I am right. My life has been very difficult but it was arranged before I came into this situation of a life of pain and misery. I have been telling people for many years to buy supplies but most would not listen to me. Now its too late, people have started to hoard all the things you now need and are no longer available.

There are no more good buys on anything, its now a sellers market if indeed you can even find anything you want or need. I work everyday although my health declines, my son now helps me because he sees how much responsibility I have toward Law Enforcement and serious honorable civillians that care and want to not only protect their families but want to survive as a country. We all want the best for America.

I especially want my friend "RICHARD" to read every word that I have written and if we had more understanding people like him and Maury and Don and others we would not be where we are today as G-D would have continued his blessings and his protection on America.

I would like to ask all of you to please read one PSALM per day and when you can not, just read part of that PSALM and finish it the very next day, certainly that is not to much to ask of you. The PSALMS predict the future. Some day I will show you how to read and interpret it. We are all at the Mercy of the living G-D and HEAVEN IS HERE ON EARTH IN ANOTHER DIMENSION.

Thankyou for reading my commentary, remember the more the U.S. pushes for the division of JERUSALEM the quicker things will happen to America as ordained by the FATHER.

Teddy

(Personal Afterthought) - there is no doubt in my mind that America's future runs parallel with what happens in JERUSALEM and ISRAEL, the more that the Americans try to decide the very fate of this area of the world the quicker you will see the demise and the collapse of the once great America we all loved. WHAT GIVES OUR ADMINISTRATION OR THE EU THE RIGHT TO DIVIDE THE CITY AND LAND THAT BELONGS TO G-D. ? No human on this Earth will be allowed to interfere and divide JERUSALEM without causing their own utter destruction. Do not believe me just wait and see what G-D the "FATHER" is going to do, his wrath will surely intensify like nothing this world has ever seen. IT IS TWO MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT.

א מַשָּׂא דְבַר-יְהוָה, עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל: נְאֻם-יְהוָה, נֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם וְיֹסֵד אָרֶץ, וְיֹצֵר רוּחַ-אָדָם, בְּקִרְבּוֹ. 1 The burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel. The saying of the LORD, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundation of the earth, and formed the spirit of man within him:
ב הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי שָׂם אֶת-יְרוּשָׁלִַם סַף-רַעַל, לְכָל-הָעַמִּים--סָבִיב; וְגַם עַל-יְהוּדָה יִהְיֶה בַמָּצוֹר, עַל-יְרוּשָׁלִָם. 2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of staggering unto all the peoples round about, and upon Judah also shall it fall to be in the siege against Jerusalem.
ג וְהָיָה בַיּוֹם-הַהוּא אָשִׂים אֶת-יְרוּשָׁלִַם אֶבֶן מַעֲמָסָה, לְכָל-הָעַמִּים--כָּל-עֹמְסֶיהָ, שָׂרוֹט יִשָּׂרֵטוּ; וְנֶאֶסְפוּ עָלֶיהָ, כֹּל גּוֹיֵי הָאָרֶץ. 3 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a stone of burden for all the peoples; all that burden themselves with it shall be sore wounded; and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it.
ד בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נְאֻם-יְהוָה, אַכֶּה כָל-סוּס בַּתִּמָּהוֹן, וְרֹכְבוֹ, בַּשִּׁגָּעוֹן; וְעַל-בֵּית יְהוּדָה, אֶפְקַח אֶת-עֵינַי, וְכֹל סוּס הָעַמִּים, אַכֶּה בַּעִוָּרוֹן. 4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with bewilderment, and his rider with madness; and I will open Mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness.
ה וְאָמְרוּ אַלֻּפֵי יְהוּדָה, בְּלִבָּם: אַמְצָה לִי יֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם, בַּיהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵיהֶם. 5 And the chiefs of Judah shall say in their heart: 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength through the LORD of hosts their God.'
ו בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא אָשִׂים אֶת-אַלֻּפֵי יְהוּדָה כְּכִיּוֹר אֵשׁ בְּעֵצִים, וּכְלַפִּיד אֵשׁ בְּעָמִיר, וְאָכְלוּ עַל-יָמִין וְעַל-שְׂמֹאול אֶת-כָּל-הָעַמִּים, סָבִיב; וְיָשְׁבָה יְרוּשָׁלִַם עוֹד תַּחְתֶּיהָ, בִּירוּשָׁלִָם. 6 In that day will I make the chiefs of Judah like a pan of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire among sheaves; and they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
ז וְהוֹשִׁעַ יְהוָה אֶת-אָהֳלֵי יְהוּדָה, בָּרִאשֹׁנָה: לְמַעַן לֹא-תִגְדַּל תִּפְאֶרֶת בֵּית-דָּוִיד, וְתִפְאֶרֶת יֹשֵׁב יְרוּשָׁלִַם--עַל-יְהוּדָה. 7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not magnified above Judah.

Fed Running Out of Ammo

By David Paul Krugman
MidasLetter.com
Friday, March 20, 2009

The Fed’s decision to purchase $300 billion of long-term treasury bonds is indicative of two things: 1) The U.S. government has lost all sense of value relative to its currency, and 2) The U.S. Federal Reserve is getting desperate and is running out of options.

Far from giving the economy any kind of boost, these tactics are essentially more of the same, which has already proven futile in terms of getting the economy moving again. Major financial institutions are not lending or borrowing much more than they were when the crisis began, and all the Fed is doing is undermining what little value is left in the U.S. Dollar.

Gold’s reaction, shooting up $42 upon release of the news, underscores the fact that inflation is now an expectation, and the safe haven attraction of treasuries will now accrue to other asset classes such as gold, silver and oil.

Although oil’s price has strengthened recently in reaction to the Fed news as well as OPEC’s decision not to cut production, this rally in commodities may be short-lived, especially if the massive inflation of money supply fails to loosen the gears of the global lending apparatus.

A renewed downward contraction of economic output manifested in more lost jobs, more foreclosures, more industrial bankruptcies, and more closed financial institutions would have the effect of sending oil and other consumable commodities (metals, but not gold) on another downward fall.

The likelihood of this happening hinges entirely on the next six months.

It is likely that the Fed will continue to buy its own Treasurys as well as distressed assets, and will continue nationalization of major financial institutions. At some point, however, there will be an end to the number of institutions left to rescue, because the Fed will own pretty much everything. It is at that point the real Great Depression will begin.

What else is there the Fed can do?

The answer to that is absolutely nothing. The U.S. Federal Reserve is a privately held institution with nearly unlimited powers to print money and establish policy. But their ability to act effectively is contingent upon the rest of the world’s conviction that the policy matters and the money has value. Increasingly, the paralysis seen in the industrial complex worldwide in terms of monetary velocity and attendant industrial output would seem to suggest that confidence in either value or relevance of policy has, for the time being, been destroyed.

As the institution widely perceived as being at fault for the policy environment and absence of regulation that engendered the over-capitalized and over-leveraged economy in the first place, it is highly unlikely the Fed will be in a position to lead the resurrection of confidence in the global monetary system.

It is more likely, that after the collapse of the United States currency and government, that it will take a coalition of representatives from a wide range across the G7, or more likely, the G20, to render sufficient assurance and integrity to set the wheels of the great global economic machine back in motion.

So its happened at last. All pretense of sanity has been summarily discarded in favor of the perpetual feedback loop. The Fed is now purchasing its own currency, kiting checks to itself in a flagrant display of Orwellian-esque doublespeak.

A military commander at Fort Campbell in Kentucky demanded his soldiers give him the registration numbers of any guns they own privately and then reveal where they are stored.

The order was stopped, according to base officials, when it was discovered the commander was not "acting within his authority."

The original order was issued on the letterhead of Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment and said effective March 11, any soldier with a "privately owned weapon" was required to submit the information, along with any information about any concealed carry permit the soldier may have, and what state issued the permit

Iran's supreme ruler to Obama: You change first

DEBKAfile Special Report

A game with Tehran Barack Obama can't win

A game with Tehran Barack Obama can't win

"We will watch and we will judge (the new U.S. administration) ... You change, our behavior will change," said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme ruler in the northeastern city of Mashhad March 21 to thousands of worshippers, two days after US president Barack Obama offered a new beginning of diplomatic engagement.

Tehran's flat rejection was broadcast by the highest authority in the land and the Shiite world to make its position crystal clear.

Spiritual ruler Khamenei said the United States was "hated in the world" and should stop interfering

in other countries' affairs. "We haven't seen any change," he said and went on to enumerate Iran's

grievances over 30 years.

"The US accuses Tehran of supporting terrorism," he said. "Its charge that Iran is seeking nuclear

weapons is a sign of US hostility." "Have you released Iranian assets?" Ali Khameini asked. "Have

you lifted oppressive sanctions? Have you given up your unconditional support for the Zionist

Statements by White House and US State Department spokesmen, Robert Gibbs and Robert

Wood, that after Obama's New Year message to the Iranian people there are

"many more [gestures]" to advance better relations with Iran, Friday, March 20, were seen in

Tehran as a sign of weakness and inexperience.

They gave the Iranian ruler the chance to kick the ball back to Washington to see what else the

administration had on offer before judging whether it was worth his while to pursue the exchange

further.

This is a game of Iranian Bazaar that Obama cannot win with goodwill gestures.

The US president needs results because Tehran's nuclear clock is ticking away, whereas

Iran wants only to buy time for building its nuclear arsenal in peace.

Cairo interrupts Palestinian unity talks for US-EU approval of deal

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

March 20, 2009, 11:33 AM (GMT+02:00)

Supermediator Egyptian Gen. Omar Suleiman

Supermediator Egyptian Gen. Omar Suleiman

DEBKAfile's Cairo sources report that last week, Egypt's senior mediator, Gen. Omar Suleiman flew to Washington and foreign minister Aboul Geith traveled to Brussels to ask their governments to underwrite the proposal for a Palestinian unity government. Without this input, they explained, there is no point in bringing the negotiations to a close. The Palestinian Fatah and Hamas negotiators are standing by in Cairo for answers.

The fate of the captive Israeli soldier Gilead Shalit also hangs on the outcome of these talks.

The two Egyptian officials asked to clear with the US and EU sections of the text that circumvent the Middle East Quartet's stipulations for talking to Hamas.

Those sections are itemized exclusively here by DEBKAfile:

1. Hamas' admission to the umbrella Palestinian Liberation Organization amounts to the radical Palestinian group's acceptance of all past agreements the PLO signed with Israel, including the Oslo Framework Accords.

2. Hamas is absolved from publicly announcing its recognition of Israel on the grounds that its rival Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah never formally recognized the Jewish state either, except for Yasser Arafat in person.

3. The Palestinian unity government's guidelines will not recognize previously signed agreements, including those with Israel, but state that the new ministers will "respect" them.

Suleiman and Gheit informed US and European officials that Saudi King Abdullah had approved the text and Syrian president Bashar Assad had promised the king and Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak to sell it to Hamas leaders.

International endorsement by the West was essential before a Palestinian unity government was installed, to spare it from boycott.

Cairo believes that once American and European endorsements are in hand, Israel's designated prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu can be persuaded to quietly agree to live with the deal without saying so publicly.

The Egyptian brokers believe he can be won over by Cairo consenting for the first time to the complete severance of the Gaza Strip's ties with Israel. The border crossings would be shut down permanently except for fuel supplies and Gaza provisioned in future through Egypt. This arrangement has always been adamantly rejected by President Mubarak.

DEBKAfile's Middle East sources add that if this can be arranged and the two Palestinian factions can bury their differences over the composition of their shared government and electoral system before the Palestinian general election on Jan. 25, 2010 (they agree on the date), then the way ought to be clear for Gilead Shalit to be freed as part of the Palestinian package.

This may the long way round, but our political sources report that if Netanyahu is able to build a government with Labor's Ehud Barak aboard to stay on as defense minister, he will go along with this formula as offering the best prospects. With this in mind, Barak proposed returning Israel's negotiating team to Cairo to continue working on the Shalit case after the talks broke down. The defense minister has always insisted in trusting Egypt to act as go-between for Israel's dealings with the Palestinians.

There are still a great many ifs before this package assumes final form, but several processes are afoot in this direction.

Guess what Murtha has been given by the Navy!
Honored with Public Service Award, bloggers erupt in outrage


Posted: March 19, 2009

Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.

The U.S. Navy has awarded U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., its Distinguished Public Service Award, immediately triggering an Internet campaign to have Navy Secretary Donald C. Winter withdraw it.

Murtha, who publicly accused U.S. Marines of cold-blooded murder in the firefight in Haditha, Iraq, and was caught on camera in the Abscam scandal appearing to negotiate over a bribe for his services, was honored by the Navy for his "selfless devotion to the Nation's Sailors and Marines."

It credits him with making sure the military services "were provided the resources necessary to effectively conduct the Global War on Terrorism."

"His courageous leadership

, vision, and loyalty to the men and women of the Department of the Navy greatly contributed to their quality of life and helped create the most modern and highly trained fighting force in history," the honor said.

Through shocking behind-the-scenes stories, Sen. Tom Coburn documents what you already suspect – elected representatives put politics and their own reelection bids ahead of principles. "Breach of Trust" names names from both parties.

It continued, "As Chairman of Subcommittee on Defense of the House Appropriations Committee, Congressman Murtha's tireless advocacy helped maintain the Navy and Marine Corps team at the highest levels of combat readiness to meet the challenges of the 21st century."

The online petition that appeared almost immediately already has collected more than 6,200 signatures.

It was set up by Gabe Ledeen, of VetsForFreedom.org.

Tax Day tea parties expected to number more than 1,000
'We don't necessarily need mainstream media anymore'

While WND has been tracking 170 individual tea parties across the nation, one group has announced it is planning rallies in 1,000 cities and towns on April 15.

The American Family Association, or AFA, is coordinating 1,000 Taxed Enough Already, or TEA, parties to be held at 12 p.m. in front of city halls across the nation.

The organization launched a Tea Party Day website just days ago so volunteer organizers may register their protests with AFA. The website also provides a list of other protests across the nation that are not organized by AFA.

Tell Congress to stop spending America into the ground! Sign the WND petition demanding lawmakers stop the bailouts, stimulus bills and march toward socialism and national destruction.

Michael DePrimo, special counsel to AFA President Tim Wildmon, told WND that AFA has been inundated with e-mails from citizens who want to attend or organize tea parties in their own cities.

"We're trying to get people to attend these and we're also encouraging others if there is no tea party in their community to start their own," he said. "All we're trying to do is really generate activity to try to try to get people to attend these rallies to really send a message to Washington."

The tea party website asks, Are you fed up with a Congress and a president who:

  • vote for a $500 billion tax bill without even reading it
  • are spending trillions of borrowed dollars, leaving a debt our great-grandchildren will be paying?
  • consistently give special interest groups billions of dollars in earmarks to help get themselves re-elected?
  • want to take your wealth and redistribute it to others?
  • punish those who practice responsible financial behavior and reward those who do not?
  • admit to using the financial hurt of millions as an opportunity to push their political agenda?
  • run up trillions of dollars of debt and then sell that debt to countries such as China?
  • want government-controlled health care?
  • want to take away the right to vote with a secret ballot in union elections?
  • refuse to stop the flow of millions of illegal immigrants into our country?
  • appoint a defender of child pornography to the No. 2 position in the Justice Department?
  • want to force doctors and other medical workers to perform abortions against their will?
  • want to impose a carbon tax on your electricity, gas and home-heating fuels?
  • want to reduce your tax deductibility for charitable gifts?
  • take money from your family budget to pay their federal budget?

The group encourages tea party attendees to bring a cell phone and call the president, 202-456-1414, and Congress, 202-224-3121, while attending the rallies.


This photo posted on Instapundit.com by reader Russell Sayre was taken from the 17th floor of the U.S. Bank Tower above Fountain Square in Cincinnati, Ohio, as a tea party began on March 15. Other national tea parties have reported hundreds, and even thousands, of attendees, but few major media outlets have covered their growing popularity.

While many mainstream media outlets have provided little to no coverage of the nation's numerous tea parties so far, DePrimo said the growing movement is proof that Americans no longer need them to launch a widespread revolution.

"I think the media does whatever the media choose to do," he said. "We're all aware that the media have a liberal bias. I suppose if it's big enough, they will report on it. If they think it really may spur some change in Washington that the media elites don't want, they may ignore the story altogether."

De Primo continued, "The good news is that with the Internet, Facebook, texting and with all the ways we can communicate today, we don't necessarily need the mainstream media anymore. The message can get out without them."

Lt. Gen. Ashkenazi says he is tasked with drawing up contingency plans as Israel ups its war rhetoric against Iran over the country's nuclear program.
As Israeli talks of war on Iran gain momentum, Israel's military Chief of Staff says the army must prepare for a military aggression.

In a meeting with top US diplomats on Monday, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi said Israel could not live with a nuclear Iran and that an Israeli military strike was a "serious" option in retarding the country's progress.

Blackwater still works for U.S. in Iraq


Last update: 5:48 p.m. EDT March 17, 2009

WASHINGTON, Mar 17, 2009 (UPI via COMTEX) -- The U.S. State Department re-signed the security firm formerly known as Blackwater despite Iraq saying it didn't want the company there, records show.

The State Department said $22.2 million deal signed with Blackwater, since renamed Xe, in February was a contract modification concerning aviation work, The Washington Times first reported. The contract expires in September, months after its contract for work in Baghdad was to have run out.

One observer said the deal raises questions about why the United States would want to pay a contractor for work in Iraq if the government won't approve its operating license.

"Why would you continue to use Blackwater when the Iraqi government has banned the highly controversial company and there are other choices?" asked Melanie Sloan, executive director of the non-partisan Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

The private security firm has been heavily criticized, particularly for a 2007 incident that left 14 Iraqi civilians dead and six former guards facing manslaughter charges.

Xe spokeswoman Anne Tyrell declined to comment to the Times on the company's work in Iraq or the contract modification. She said the company was aware that the State Department indicated it didn't plan to renew its contracts in Iraq but that Xe officials hadn't received specific information about leaving the country.

The Iraqi Embassy in Washington didn't comment on the contract, the Times said.

Judge ripped for using blog eligibility hearsay
Obama case lawyer says he's entitled to birth certificate discovery hearing

Posted: March 19, 2009
12:40 am Eastern

James Robertson

A lawyer

threatened by a federal judge with sanctions for filing one of the myriad legal challenges to President Obama's eligibility has responded by criticizing the judge for relying on "hearsay" blog information for his decision and suggests he should be given a hearing that could include discovery of the president's original birth certificate.

WND reported earlier when Judge James Robertson dismissed a lawsuit filed by John D. Hemenway on behalf of Gregory S. Hollister, a retired military officer, who is subject to being recalled to duty and therefore would need to know the legitimacy of any order coming from Obama.

In his statement dismissing the case, Robertson ridiculed the complaint, which never had a court hearing, ruling that the eligibility issues had been "blogged, texted, twittered and otherwise massaged."

Hollister is represented by Philadelphia lawyer Philip Berg, who has brought several motions on the eligibility dispute to the U.S. Supreme Court that have been ignored. Hemenway acted as local counsel in filing the action on behalf of Hollister.

Robertson wrote: "The plaintiff says that he is a retired Air Force colonel who continues to owe fealty to his Commander-in-Chief (because he might possibly be recalled to duty) and who is tortured by uncertainty as to whether he would have to obey orders from Barack Obama because it has not been proven – to the colonel's satisfaction – that Mr. Obama is a native-born American citizen, qualified under the Constitution to be president.

"The issue of the president's citizenship was raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America's vigilant citizenry during Mr. Obama's two-year-campaign for the presidency, but this plaintiff wants it resolved by a court," Robertson wrote.

Wrong on most counts, Hemenway contends.

Feds undercut civilian supply of ammunition
Policy leaves manufacturers without brass for cartridges

Fired brass shell casings

A recent government policy change has taken a bite out of the nation's already stressed ammunition supply, leaving arms dealers scrambling to find ammo for private gun owners.

Georgia Arms is a company that for the last 15 years has been purchasing fired brass shell casings from the Department of Defense and private government surplus liquidators. The military collects the discarded casings from fired rounds, then sells them through liquidators to companies like Georgia Arms that remanufacture the casings into ammunition for the law enforcement and civilian gun owner communities.

But earlier this month, Georgia Arms received a canceled order, informed by its supplier that the government now requires fired brass casings be mutilated, in other words, destroyed to a scrap metal state.

The policy change, handed down from the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency, cuts a supply leg out from underneath ammunition manufacturers.

Learn here why it's your right -- and duty -- to be armed.

The policy has compelled Georgia Arms, for example, to cancel all sales of .223 and .308 ammunition, rounds used, respectively, in semi-automatic and deer hunting rifles, until further notice. Sharch Manufacturing, Inc. has announced the same cancellation of its .223 and .308 brass reloading components.

"They just reclassified brass to allow destruction of it, based on what?" Georgia Arms owner Larry Haynie asked WND. "We've been 'going green' for the last dozen years, and brass is one of the most recyclable materials out there. A cartridge case can be used over and over again. And now we're going to destroy it based on what? We don't want the civilian public to have it? It's a government injustice."

Webster's dictionary redefines 'marriage'

Now includes references to same-sex relationships

Posted: March 17, 2009
8:39 pm Eastern

By Bob Unruh
© 2009 WorldNetDaily

One of the nation's most prominent dictionary companies has resolved the argument over whether the term "marriage" should apply to same-sex duos or be reserved for the institution that has held families together for millennia: by simply writing a new definition.

"I was shocked to see that Merriam-Webster changed their definition of the word 'marriage,' a word which has referred exclusively to a contract between a man and a woman for centuries. It has now added same sex," YouTube user Eric B. noted to WND.

"The 1992 Webster's Dictionary does not mention same sex at all," he wrote.

He created a YouTube video illustrating his concerns, which has been embedded here:

The new definition references "marriage" as the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife. But the definition also includes "the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage."

Saudis create anti-Israel Palestinian "militia" in Gaza to combat Hamas

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

March 18, 2009, 9:25 AM (GMT+02:00)

New pro-Saudi terror militia in South Lebanon

New pro-Saudi terror militia in South Lebanon

DEBKAfile's military sources disclose that Saudi intelligence services are deep in recruitment for a new radical Islamist terrorist militia in the southern Gaza Strip towns of Deir al Balakh, Khan Younes and Rafah, with Egyptian blessing. More than 1,000 Palestinians have joined up in two weeks, poached from the extreme Hamas fringes and the Salafi sects.

Recruiters promise greater militancy against Israel than Hamas and Jihad Islami combined.

The new Gaza group is intended to complement the pro-Saudi organization established in southern Lebanon in January, part of a new Riyadh project to establish a chain of Islamist, Taliban-style fighting cadres under Saudi control for combating the pro-Iranian and al Qaeda terrorist organizations strung across the Middle East.

The Saudis are pumping into southern Gaza weapons, cash and dozens of military instructors for a strong infrastructure. This flow could not have taken place through Egyptian territory without Cairo's knowledge and approval.

DEBKAfile's Middle East sources disclose the hand behind this grand design is the Saudi intelligence chief Prince Muqrin Abdul Aziz. He has used Hamas leaders' absence and their preoccupation in Cairo with prisoner swap negotiations with Israel and Palestinian unity talks to lay the groundwork for the pro-Saudi Palestinian terror group in the Gaza Strip.

The organization up and running in S. Lebanon, dubbed the Arab Islamic Resistance Organization, soon challenged pro-Iranian Hizballah's domination of South Lebanon by becoming the first non-Hizballah element ever to stage a comprehensive "war game" close to the Israeli border without Iran's proxy interfering.

Exercises included chemical warfare drill, a sign that the Saudis are preparing to arm their new terrorist network with sophisticated means of war.

The Drug Cartels Are on Our Payroll


March 18, 2009 | From theTrumpet.com

A vivid illustration of how America’s sins are becoming curses.

Amid gloomy economic news, America’s financial stimulus efforts are succeeding wildly in a couple of areas. One is the funding of violent mafias that are taking over Mexico one town at a time. Another is the subsidy of a criminal underworld in over 200 U.S. cities.

The stimulus money isn’t coming from Washington, but from the pockets of drug users all over the country. About 20 million Americans—8 percent of the population—use illegal drugs, the government estimates. The dollars they pay to maintain their self-destructive habits—what the United Nations believes is $142 billion a year—are funding a world of evil.

Drug users say, My decisions are my business—I’m not hurting anyone else.

It’s a lie. Their decisions are facilitating a massive arms trade, paying for kidnappings and murders, enabling the traffic of human beings, and threatening the Mexican government. Now these evils are spilling back over into the States. Americans are getting kidnapped and killed in violence paid for by these self-indulgent American drug users.

Tragic irony. Our own crimes are coming back to bite us.

Mexican cartels are entrenched in at least 230 American cities, the National Drug Intelligence Center says. For years they have subcontracted the distribution of drugs to local U.S. street gangs. But as the cartels have grown in power thanks to the enormous and increasing cash flow generated by their booming business, they have assumed greater control of the process. By cutting out the middlemen, they now rake in higher profits, which enable them to expand their filthy business even more.

They’re not only infiltrating border cities: They are digging in as far north as Wisconsin and Alaska. And they’re bringing their criminal culture with them.

Phoenix now has the second-highest kidnapping rate of any city in the world—after Mexico City. Last year it averaged one drug-related abduction per day, and experts estimate only half are reported. Police there are becoming personally acquainted with the cartels’ signature ruthlessness: smashing the fingers of victims, pistol whipping, arbitrary killing to instill fear. “The tactics are moving north,” says Phoenix Assistant Police Chief Andy Anderson. Last month officials found a body of a man who had been tortured, shot, completely enveloped in duct tape and dumped. Gangs sometimes dress as Phoenix police or an American swat team as they raid homes. This is 185 miles from the Mexican border.

Atlanta, 1,500 miles from the border, has become the cartels’ top drug distribution center for the eastern U.S., according to a USA Today report last week. At the same time, this city is seeing a spike in assaults, abductions and executions. “The violence follows the drugs,” says fbi agent David Cuthbertson.

In Birmingham, Alabama, the bodies of five Mexican men—bound, gagged and electrocuted in what officials think was a drug-related hit—were found. Greenville, Tennessee, has indicted dozens of cartel-tied drug dealers. North Carolina has cartel cells that reach south of the border. Authorities in San Diego and Houston are convinced some murders there were assassinations ordered by drug traffickers from Mexico.

These are the types of projects the cash-rich cartels like to spend their money on. Another favorite project: incredibly sophisticated smuggling operations. The gangsters are building cross-border tunnels nine stories underground. They are purchasing semi-submersible vessels that can evade radar and travel at 20 knots. A recent year-long multi-agency investigation in Arizona exposed one organization bringing a billion dollars’ worth of marijuana into the U.S. via heavy duty camouflaged trucks; drivers wore night vision goggles so they could drive in the dark through the desert without headlights; scouts lived in the mountains for weeks on end radioing directives and warnings to drivers.

The cartels also use these routes to smuggle people. They sell their services to various groups for exorbitant fees, who turn around and extort money from the illegals traveling into the States. At hundreds of drop houses in American cities, immigrants are mistreated, tortured, raped—so criminals can extract ransoms from their families. “This is modern-day slavery of terrible proportions,” says Arizona state Sen. Jonathan Paton. Slavery made possible, again, by dollars from drug users.

Last week I talked about how one of America’s biggest foreign-policy challenges—a near-nuclear-armed Iran—is largely a problem of its own making. The same is painfully true of the spread into American cities of drug-related crime. Mexico’s narcothugs would all be out of business if they didn’t live next door to the world’s most voracious drug-consuming market.

This is a “made in America” problem.

That reality is grimly punctuated by the fact that the Mexican gangsters are waging their war almost exclusively with American weapons. Flush with American drug cash, they buy their handguns, shotguns, machine guns, grenade launchers and ammunition by the truckload from unscrupulous American dealers. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms says that 90 percent of the guns confiscated from Mexican cartels come from the States. Texas is their top supplier. These weapons dealers know who they’re selling to. They’re shamefully aware that those bullets may well end up in the body of some Mexican policeman—or a fellow American citizen.

Thus, as we witness the curses of increased and increasingly ruthless violence, of rising gangsterism, of Mexico’s nightmarish drug culture seeping into America’s cities, we should remind ourselves: Our own people are not only funding it but even arming it.

That is the real problem. Unless that changes, don’t expect any efforts to correct it to find lasting success.

This isn’t a popular message today, but it’s the truth: These curses are a result of our own sins. And sin always exacts a painful penalty. As the Prophet Isaiah wrote, “Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for what his hands have done shall be done to him” (Isaiah 3:11, Revised Standard Version). Proverbs 13:21 states the truth even more bluntly: “Evil pursueth sinners.”
