SAME AS IT EVER WAS:
Pope Calls for Palestinian Homeland

Pope Benedict has called for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict - a position that could put him at odds with Israel's new government.

During a speech in Tel Aviv Monday, the pope said he was pleading with "all those responsible" to explore every possible avenue for a just resolution so that "both peoples may live in peace in a homeland of their own" with secure, "internationally recognized borders."

Every Catholic who reads this blog should storm their Vatican representatives with fucking torches and pitchforks and scream for the blood of Israel. Cause if you don't, the Pope is taking you down with him. Woe. Times eleventy. Plus infinitude. Period.

In Jordan, pope backs efforts for 'alliance of civilizations'
Monstrous Woe unto him. Colossal Woe unto us all.
JEWSUS SEES YOU.

At an airport welcoming ceremony in Amman May 8, the pope expressed his “deep respect for the Muslim community” and paid tribute to interfaith dialogue initiatives launched by Jordanian leaders.

“We can say that these worthy initiatives have achieved much good in furthering an alliance of civilizations between the West and the Muslim world, confounding the predictions of those who consider violence and conflict inevitable,” he said in a speech.

He commended Jordan for curbing extremism and protecting the religious freedom of the country’s Christian minority and said its leaders had promoted “a better understanding of the virtues proclaimed by Islam.”

The meeting will discuss dialogue between Islam and Christianity, the current global situation, ways to defuse crises, energy, and the world’s future.

US: Iran threat underlines need for Israel to seek peace
IOW: WE BLAME THE JEWS. AGAIN.

General James Jones, President Barack Obama's national security advisor, said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would hear the US message on the need for a "two-state" solution first-hand when he comes here soon.

"We understand Israel's preoccupation with Iran as an existential threat. We agree with that," he said on ABC television.

"And by the same token, there are a lot of things that you can do to diminish that existential threat by working hard towards achieving a two-state solution," he said.

Woe unto us. Gird up.

Dmitry Medvedev said on Saturday the country should remember the lessons learned from the Soviet Union's victory in World War II.

"Our victory over fascism is a great example and a great lesson to all nations, a lesson which is still topical today when, again and again, people appear who indulge in military adventurism," Medvedev said from a podium front of the tomb of Vladimir Lenin in Red Square.

"Defence of our homeland is our holy duty ... We are sure that any aggression against our citizens will be decisively rebuffed."

Southern Corridor, RWE and Turkmenistan

As I was writing this article, the European Commission and the Czech presidency of the EU was hosting a summit in Prague with its partner countries on the development of the Southern Corridor for energy and transport.

The participating partner countries were Turkey, Georgia, Iraq, Egypt, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. The main objective of the summit was to provide strong political support and concrete commitments for the development of the Southern Corridor, including the trans-Caspian interconnection, which immediately brings to mind the significance and importance of Turkmenistan above all, because Turkmenistan possesses the world’s fifth largest reserves of natural gas.

It is estimated that the country’s reserves stand at 72.67 trillion cubic meters. It currently produces about 70 billion cubic meters of gas annually and plans to extract more. Its export commitments are substantial. Russia is, of course, the number one customer with 50 billion cubic meters, followed by Iran, with 8 billion cubic meters.

A gas pipeline has exploded in the Russian capital, Moscow, sending flames 100m (300ft) high into the air and setting fire to a nearby building.

Several people are reported to have been injured. More than 30 fire-fighting teams were sent to the scene, in the south-west of the city. The authorities have shut off the gas supply to the area and are investigating the cause of the blast. Ageing pipelines have been blamed for recent gas explosions in Russia.

The amendment also required both parents to give permission before a child could attend a religious event, and it would ban believers from expressing their faith beyond their "own circle."

Speculation is rife over the international pressure that played a role in the Council's decision. Kazakhstan is due to assume the helm of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe in 2010. Such a restrictive religion law flies in the face of what the OSCE stands for.

Early American Government Intervention in the Economy

The phrase "exigent circumstances" has even been used by the Federal Reserve to justify several of its more extreme actions of late...

Naturally. The smart thing to do now is DISSOLVE & REBRAND:

In the world of banking, too-big-to-fail may be in the process of morphing into too-big-to-exist. After hundreds of billions in federal aid and even more in lost investment capital, both the government and investors may be ready for a big sea change. The only question, for some, is how quickly it will happen.
“In the next few months, we'll see the tacitly nationalized banks—Bank of America, Citigroup, sold off rapidly into pieces, turned into much smaller banks,” Sanders Morris Harris Group Chairman George Ball predicted on CNBC Thursday, adding the government wants to send a strong message, to “punish too-big-to-fail banks that have blotted their copy and not exonerate their management.”
