FROM STEVE QUAYLE
Oil Rig Disaster: Steve, I was at my doctors office today. I asked him if he had heard anything about the oil rig. He said as a matter of fact he had. Just yesterday one of his patients (who works for Chevron) said about two weeks ago top executives from all of oil drilling companies were called up to Washington for a closed door meeting with the presidential staff. They all came back with orders to keep their mouths shut about the disaster. You have to understand, they said they hit a methane pocket, that caused the explosion. Of course this is hard to do when the drilling is complete and there was no drilling going on. All the drilling data and rig reports are being removed from everywhere. It was confirmed to him by the Chevron engineer that it was a North Korean sub attack on the rig that caused this disaster. The White House has ordered this whole event to be covered up. —Mike – Disclaimer: There is a lot of noise around this story. Google "oil spill" + "North Korea" and see how much chatter is available. Anyone with additional information, please email Steve.

Syria, Hizballah are building a massive wall in eastern Lebanon
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 15, 2010, 7:27 PM (GMT+02:00)

Tags: Fortified wall Hizballah Syria

Syria deepens its footprint in Lebanon

Hizballah and Syria are building a massive fortified wall, running from Rashaya Al-Wadi on the western, Lebanese slopes of Mt. Hermon (85 kilometers southeast of Beirut) in the south, to the Lebanese Beqaa Valley town of Aita el-Foukhar, in the north, debkafile's military sources reveal.
The structure, 22 kilometers long in parallel to the Lebanese-Syrian border promises to be one of the biggest fortified structures in the Middle East. It is designed as an obstacle against any Israeli tank forces heading through Lebanon toward the Syrian capital, Damascus. When it is finished, the barrier will isolate a key Lebanese border region - 14 kilometers wide and 22 kilometers long - from the rest of the country and place it under Hizballah-Syrian military control.

This region is inhabited most by Druzes and Christians.
The project became possible in the last year, after Lebanon's Druze leader, Walid Jumblatt, turned away from his pro-Western allegiance and threw in his lot with the pro-Syrian camp, lining up with Syrian president Bashar Assad and Hizballah's secretary Hassan Nasrallah and buying into the military alliance headed by Iran.
Behind the rising wall, Hizballah and Syria can freely smuggle weapons across concealed from outside surveillance, while deepening Syria's footprint in Lebanon.
In any case, as debkafile has disclosed, they pulled off their subterfuge for getting the Scuds across by stationing two Hizballah brigades on the Syrian side of the border for training in the new missiles. When Israeli failed to make good on its threat to strike those missiles if they reached Hizballah hands, Damascus and Hizballah felt free to go forward with Part Two of their plan for Lebanon's militarization - first the Hizballah militia's transformation into a modern army with sophisticated weapons, and now the raising of a fortified wall and creating a Syrian-controlled buffer region inside Lebanon, 55 kilometers east of Beirut and 35 kilometers north of South Lebanon and the Israeli border.
According to our military sources, Syria intends to keep that region off-limits to Lebanese military access -except for Hizballah. Syrian troops, officers and arms stores are to be based there and maintained in a state of war readiness.

Syria stands to gain another prime strategic asset with its control of Rashaya Al-Wadi, at the southernmost point of the new wall: This scenic village commands the Taim valley, whence flow a number of water courses that feed the River Jordan and the Sea of Galilee; for the first time in many years, Damascus will be placing a hand on one of Israel's primary water sources.
Satisfied that the Netanyahu government will continue to sit on its hands, Syria and Hizballah are not hiding the massive barrier project's progress. Long convoys of trucks crossing in from Syria can be seen converging on the site, loaded with cement and other building materials.
Our Middle East sources report that the project is so immense and the work so intensive, that shops in Damascus have run out of cement, forcing many other construction works in Syria to a standstill.

CNN's loss, tea partiers' gain seeking to unify movement in run up to fall election

Lou Dobbs

He caused quite an uproar as a CNN anchor when he advocated for stronger U.S. border enforcement and when he refused to drop "birther" stories about challenges to President Obama's constitutional eligibility to hold office.

Now he's a headlining speaker at the second tea-party convention in July in Las Vegas, an event geared toward unifying the tea-party movement in the run-up to the fall congressional elections.

Lou Dobbs will rally tea partiers at the National Tea Party Unity Convention, July 15-17, at the Palazzo Las Vegas Resort in Nevada. The Tea Party Nation, along with ResistNet, Leadership Tea Party, the Tea Party Leadership Coalition and other groups, is organizing the event.

"Lou Dobbs is just an amazing guy," Tea Party Nation President Judson Phillips told WND. "He stood up to the powers that be at CNN. He had a very high-rated show there, and he could have kept towing the party line and doing what they wanted him to do. But he spoke up for America."

Angela Merkel: Powerless Again?
May 13, 2010 | From theTrumpet.com
Once again Chancellor Merkel is looking like a lame-duck leader.

Angela Merkel’s ruling coalition no longer has a majority in Germany’s upper house of parliament, the Bundesrat. This loss means that her government needs the support of one other party in order to pass legislation—a significant loss of power for Merkel.

The Christian Democratic Union (cdu) lost the state elections in Germany’s most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia (nrw). It won 34.6 percent of the vote—its lowest ever result in that state. Although the election has no clear winner—the Social Democratic Party and its Green Party allies are one seat short of having a majority—it is unlikely that the cdu will take the helm of the state.

“This is a debacle for the government,” said Peter Lösche, emeritus professor of politics at the University of Göttingen.

Now Merkel’s government will find it hard to be decisive, as any legislation could be blocked by other parties.

“There is a danger that (Merkel’s coalition) is, after only seven months in power, facing its political end,” said Josef Schlarmann, who serves on the cdu’s leadership committee. He said that any major government projects are now “as good as dead.”

Many in Germany feel that the coalition government consisting of the cdu and the Free Democratic Party (fdp) has only itself to blame. “[T]o be fair, it’s not the voters of nrw that have robbed Merkel’s administration of the ability to pursue major reforms—the cdu-fdp coalition did that all on its own from the first day it took office last autumn,” writes The Local. “The conservatives and the fdp came to power in October supposedly with a mandate for changes beyond the grasp of Merkel’s last clunky coalition with the center-left Social Democrats (spd). But the new government quickly lurched from a shambolic start to political infighting and paralysis.”

Merkel has also irritated her sister party, the Christian Social Union (csu). No csu politicians were invited to her emergence meeting on the Greece crisis on Sunday night. The csu’s Georg Nüsslein warned that as a consequence, Merkel shouldn’t be surprised if the csu doesn’t vote as she would like it to.

The election result sets Germany on course for further indecisive leadership. With all the instability in the world, and in Europe in particular, this will soon make Germans clamor for a more decisive government. For more, see our article “Germany: A Potentially Momentous Summer Looms.”

Iran test-fires same missiles as handed to Hizballah
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report May 13, 2010, 2:23 PM (GMT+02:00)

Tags: Fajr-5 missiles Hizballah Iran

Iran's Fajr-5 points at Israel

Iran wound up its biggest ever naval exercise, Velayat 89, Wednesday, May 12, by simultaneously firing 30 short-range, surface-to-surface Fajr missiles of the same types as the brand-new, advanced weapons in the Lebanese Hizballah's armory, debkafile's military sources report. The display was Tehran's way of advising Israel of the heavily upgraded capabilities Hizballah has in store for the Jewish state and also responding to the big war game Israel conducted on its northern borders from Sunday through Thursday, May 9-12.

Compared with earlier models, the new Fajr-5 is more accurate and carries a bigger payload. The types Hizballah used against northern Israeli in 2006 had a range of 75 kilometers, reaching as far as Hadera, 45 kilometers short of Tel Aviv and the Jezreel Valley on the southern fringes of Galilee. The version fired in the Iranian exercise could reach deeper into Israel's heavily populated regions, around Netanya and Herzliya, at a distance of 110 kilometers from the Lebanese border.
The new Fajar 5 is also highly mobile and usable at short notice.
In their exercise, the Iranians also fired the older Fajar 3 ("Dawn") missile, which has been in the Hizballah arsenal since before 2006. Their range has been extended from 45 to 70 kilometers.

Wednesday, too, Brig. Gen. Nissim Peretz, head of the IDF Logistics Division, disclosed that Israel's armed forces had begun dismantling the large logistics bases holding munitions, weapons, fuel and provisions stores and scatterng them among smaller and better protected facilities.

This is in line with the advance preparation of the home front for missile attack in potential war hostilities. Brig. Peretz explained that the relocation of these vital military facilities would ensure the IDF's ability to fight without interruption and have supplies of essentials available - even when under missile assault.

Just as the home front must be prepared to sustain attack, said the officer, so too must military installations to the rear be secured in good time.

ה וְהָיָה, כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-יִקְרָא בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה--יִמָּלֵט: כִּי בְּהַר-צִיּוֹן וּבִירוּשָׁלִַם תִּהְיֶה פְלֵיטָה, כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְהוָה, וּבַשְּׂרִידִים, אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה קֹרֵא. 5 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as the LORD hath said, and among the remnant those whom the LORD shall call.

Is There Any Worse Time the Health Care Bill Could Become Law?

By Robert Morley

America thinks it could never fall. Could Greece collapse? Yes. But America—not a chance. This is the richest country in the world. And in spite of all the headlines, in spite of all the dire statistics blared by reporters, the American way of life still continues. Gas stations still have gas. Food still sits on grocery shelves. Even if through debt, most Americans are still enjoying life. So surely America can’t be in that much financial trouble. After all, in March politicians voted in potentially the largest expansion of the welfare state in American history. America must have money to burn.

But here is the reality. It wouldn’t take much for the nightmare in Greece to become reality for America. That is the conclusion of a small but growing group of concerned analysts.

“The wolf could be at our door sooner than we think,” says Carmen Reinhart, economics professor at the University of Maryland and author of This Time Is Different. Confidence in the dollar “could turn quite abruptly,” she says.

All it would take is one failed treasury auction, warns Reinhart, and the dollar’s status as a perceived safe haven would vanish—along with its status as the world’s reserve currency.

If that were to happen, media commentators wouldn’t be comparing California to Greece: They would be comparing the entire nation to something more akin to Zimbabwe or Soviet Russia.

You Can’t Reduce a Deficit by Spending

Politicians are far too complacent about America’s economic condition. Instead of getting America’s financial house in order now—while some analysts think it still has a chance—politicians are doing the exact opposite. Rather than seeing the crisis in Greece and cutting expenses and leading the country to live within its means, it is as if politicians are doing their level best to make the same thing happen here.

Washington’s historic vote to implement national health care is a prime example.

The week before the vote, the Congressional Budget Office (cbo) confirmed that President Obama’s health care reform bill would reduce the deficit by $138 billion. This affirmation made headlines and is credited with creating much of the momentum that helped pass the bill.

The problem with that is this: That estimate is a total lie.

That estimate is based on double-counting and outright phony accounting. Just ask yourself, How can a bill that is going to provide health coverage for 32 million more people—without eroding the coverage of everyone else—actually reduce government spending? The answer is that it can’t and it won’t.

Even the liberal New York Times knows it is a lie. In an article titled “The Real Arithmetic of Health Care Reform,” Douglas Holtz-Eakin confirmed that the job of the cbo is just to assert that the bill says what it says it says. In other words, the cbo’s job is just to examine the mathematics of the bill (i.e. add up all the columns)—not to examine the assumptions built into it or comment on where the government says the money is going to come from.

For example, one way the government comes up with money to fund the health bill is by stealing from Peter to pay Paul, supposedly commandeering $53 billion from the Social Security fund. But what it is not telling you is that Social Security is already broke. Politicians have already spent Social Security’s money.

To get around this uncomfortable fact, government planners say that Social Security revenues will rise as employers shift from paying for health insurance to paying higher wages. Impossible. How many businesses will automatically increase employee wages out of the goodness of their heart just because they will (theoretically) save money on paying health insurance? Remember, this comes at a time when many companies are struggling just to survive—and some are moving to Asia! Consider, too, how many small businesses (those with 50 or more employees) will now have to begin paying for employee health coverage for the first time. Will these businesses pay higher wages as well? Or is it not more likely, if they employ 55 workers, that they will simply shrink their workforce in order to avoid the legal obligation to buy health care for their employees?

As Holtz-Eakin said, “Fantasy in, fantasy out” (March 20).

Epic Underestimation

According to Holtz-Eakin, “In reality, if you strip out all the gimmicks and budgetary games and rework the calculus, a wholly different picture emerges: The health care reform legislation would raise, not lower, federal deficits, by $562 billion.”

And if history is a guide, then health care reform will probably cost even more.

“When Medicare was first proposed back in 1966, it cost $3 billion per year, and the projection was for inflation-adjusted annual costs to rise to $12 billion by 1990,” noted economist Peter Schiff. “The actual cost in 1990 was $107 billion, and the 2009 estimate is a staggering $408 billion!” (Euro Pacific Capital, June 27, 2009).

Government propaganda economists were only off by 900 percent on their cost estimates. How much will they be off by this time?

Analysts have criticized Greece for lying about its accounting practices, but America does the exact same things.

America has been lying about the Social Security money for years. And there is all sorts of creative accounting going on with the now-government-owned Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The government doesn’t account for those two $6 trillion junk-mortgage cadavers on its balance sheet either. Nor is the Federal Reserve and its trillion-dollar balance sheet consolidated into U.S. Treasury books. And the list of other “off balance sheet” accounting doesn’t end there.

“The Greeks engaged in a variety of creative accounting practices,” warned former U.S. comptroller general David Walker. America may not be Greece, “But we could end with the same problems down the road if we don’t get spending under control and start dealing with our structure deficits soon.”

How soon? Walker says America might have two years.

Already Shutting Down

From lying about its bookkeeping to adopting national health care, it seems that America is doing its best to emulate the one nation most likely to collapse in the near future.

Can America’s leaders not see what is happening?

Just a couple of weeks before that historic March congressional vote, Kansas City said it will be forced to shut down almost half the city’s schools by fall in order to stave off bankruptcy. Smaller cities across the country are in crisis mode. Some have already filed for bankruptcy. Whole states, such as California and Illinois, are on the road to bankruptcy. California may be forced to send out ious again instead of paying its bills. Unemployment benefits have been extended for two years in many places. Real unemployment is near 20 percent. There is a second massive wave of residential mortgage resets heading America’s way. Home foreclosures are set to soar again. State and municipal pension plans are catastrophically underfunded. Collapsing commercial real estate is beginning to hammer America’s small and midsize banks. Round two of America’s spectacular banking collapse is looming. Moody’s and other debt-rating agencies have already warned that America is on the road to losing its aaa credit rating.

And foreigners? Do you think they are going to continue lending money that, as is becoming increasingly obvious, will never be paid back—just so this administration can push its economically unsustainable agenda?

Ask Greece what happens when they stop.

These are the uncomfortable truths facing the nation.

The wolf is at the door, but instead of slamming it shut, it is as if America is inviting the beast in for dinner.
