Arab League chief: No Israel recognition
Israel who?
Islamic countries should make clear there will be no normalized relations with Israel until it stops breaking international law, an Arab League official says.
Assad tells OIC FMs extreme Israeli govt major obstacle to peace
"The failure of the peace process so far has clearly shown that Israel is the obstacle. How can a state that was founded on illegal occupation and continues to murder the original inhabitants work toward peace?" Assad said.

He said the current state of Middle East peacemaking had exposed the "true nature of this aggressive state." "How can a country that has chosen the most extreme government in its history be a partner for peace?" he added.
Syria links talks with Israel to full return of Golan

OIC's Damascus Declaration
Our Organization was basically established to defend Al-Quds AL-Shareef which is today facing a critical situation that threatens to obliterate its spiritual character and historical diversity. Added to that are the construction of the racist separation wall in the West Bank , the inhuman blockade imposed on Gaza, the intensification of land grabbing and settlement building. All of this required us all not compensate Israel over its crimes but to ensure that any development in relations- if any exist at all-to the concrete expression of Israel's commitment to just and comprehensive peace, which would guarantee the restoration of legitimate national rights and withdrawal from the occupied lands in Palestine , Golan, and southern Lebanon.
Isaiah's Damascus Declaration

Hashemite Fiefdom "warns" Israel:
The government on Saturday warned against thed angers posed by excavation works Israel carried out beneath and around Al Aqsa Mosque, and by house demolitions in Jerusalem, stressing that such Israeli measures will have a negative impact on any future peaceful settlement.

In a speech yesterday at a conference of foreign ministers of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in Damascus, Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Judeh reviewed the role of the Hashemites in protecting the holy sites in Jerusalem.
Sounds like a threat to me.
And now for some Turkish urging:

Turkey urges Israel to respect international Jerusalem status


Canada urged to put pressure on Israel
Again with the urging.

Russia's Lavrov in Syria to discuss Mideast summit
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov arrived in Syria on Saturday for talks with President Bashar al-Assad on Moscow's plan for a Middle East conference, a Russian diplomat told AFP.

On Saturday night, he met with Khaled Meshaal, the Damascus-based leader of Hamas, a spokesman for the Palestinian Islamist movement said without giving details.

Lavrov and Assad are due to meet on Sunday, the Russian diplomat said.

Russia favors keeping up talks with Hamas
DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Russia believes in the need to maintain contacts with the Palestinian group Hamas, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday, despite a cooling of ties between the two sides.

"We are certain that this is needed," Interfax news agency quoted Lavrov as saying after meeting Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal in the Syrian capital, where he lives in exile.

GDF Suez, Total In UAE Nuclear Bid
Dig the language in this thing:
Utility Electricite de France SA (EDF.FR) will support a consortium of French companies seeking to develop new nuclear power capacity in the United Arab Emirates but doesn't plan to invest in the state, a spokeswoman for the company said Tuesday.

The administration of French President Nicolas Sarkozy had said EDF will take part in the consortium, the Agence France Presse news agency had reported."EDF will bring its support and its expertise to the French consortium ... to strengthen its chances of success," the spokeswoman said.

In January 2008, utility GDF Suez SA (GSZ.FR) agreed with nuclear group Areva SA (CEI.FR) and oil major Total SA (TOT) to form a consortium to bid to develop nuclear capacity in the UAE. The UAE isn't part of EDF's list of target countries for investing in new nuclear capacity, the spokeswoman said.

EDF doesn't plan to invest in the project. But its support could come in the form of "technical assistance" to the consortium, she added.

In addition, Saudi Arabia and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries may try to keep oil supplies high enough to prevent a price spike, said Amy Myers Jaffe, an energy research fellow at Rice University's Baker Institute. The worldwide recession cut demand for their oil, they want the recession to end and high prices could hinder a recovery.

Just exactly who the Mullahs of Iran think they are worshiping is another question.

The Islamic Republic, which bans alcohol and narcotics, last year said it would launch a crackdown on "indecent Western-inspired movements" such as rappers and satanists.

That move signaled a widening of a clampdown on "immoral" conduct launched in 2007 against women flouting rules dictating that they cover their heads and disguise the shape of their bodies in public, in line with Iran's Islamic system.

“No! I want to say that Michelle Obama is America’s Zahra Rahnavard.

Bad Vlad the Journalist Man
Russian PM Vladimir Putin has tried his hand at writing. For the first time in his career, the politician wrote a column for Russia’s media.
Badass Vlad in TIME magazine ~
Putin to the West:"HANDS OFF THE UKRAINE":

Vladimir Putin, Russia's Prime Minister and former President, is not renowned for his love of literature. But on Sunday he gave Russian journalists an unexpected reading tip: the diaries of Anton Denikin, a commander in the White Army that fought the Bolsheviks after the Revolution in 1917. (See TIME's photos of last year's war in Georgia)

"He has a discussion there about Big Russia and Little Russia — Ukraine," Russian newswires quoted Putin as saying after laying a wreath in Moscow at the grave of Denikin, who is now portrayed as a Russian patriot. "He says that no one should be allowed to interfere in relations between us; they have always been the business of Russia itself." (See TIME's person of the year: Vladimir Putin)

33 arrested in connection with Georgian mutiny
Georgian police have arrested nearly three dozen people in connection with a recent mutiny led by tank battalion officers, a top lawmaker said Saturday.

Gigi Targamadze, a pro-government lawmaker who heads the parliament’s defense committee, told Rustavi-2 TV that 20 of the 33 people arrested are military personnel, the rest civilians.

His comments came two days after police shot and killed a former military officer and wounded two others suspected of plotting the May 5 mutiny, which embarrassed President Mikhail Saakashvili’s government and fueled opposition demands for him to resign.

North Korea Launches More Missiles Following Nuclear Test


Now here's a really stupid headline:
Lost RAF files held embarrassing data
EMBARASSING? Lost?
It's dangerous, it's indicitive of weakness, you got a huge problem...
it's not fucking embarrassing!
Furthermore, who is to say it is "lost" and not stolen by the enemy?
But they have all been "given advice"..... so go back to sleep now.
Data files lost by the British military contain personal details of Royal Air Force personnel who were being vetted for security clearances, documents show.

An internal ministry memo obtained by the BBC warns that details of 500 RAF members' criminal convictions, investigations, debts, medical conditions, drug abuse, extramarital affairs and other potentially embarrassing information were contained on data files lost last year at RAF Innsworth in Gloucestershire.

The information on the lost files "provides excellent material for foreign intelligence services and blackmailers," said the memo, which reportedly was written by an unnamed RAF wing commander. A defense ministry spokesman told the BBC said all those affected by the lost data have been told of the situation and have been given advice.

President Obama is expected to announce late this week that he will create a "cyber czar," a senior White House official who will have broad authority to develop strategy to protect the nation's government-run and private computer networks, according to people who have been briefed on the plan.
White House announces new Web initiatives
Liar liar pants on fire, ya hangin' from a telephone wire!
Obama signed an executive order the day after his Jan. 20 inauguration that gave officials in the executive branch 120 days to develop technological means to give the public more access to the inner workings of government.
This story interests me because of this:
The suspect was utilizing his cell phone to communicate this information. Detective Joe Zblewski initiated a GPS track of the suspects cell phone by initiating an AT&T Exigent Circumstances Form (which is faxed to AT&T), which is a formal request to AT&T to track the location of the cell phone being used by our suspect. This process uses triangulation of cell towers signals, and can determine the location of cell calls being made from a specific cell phone. We received communication from AT&T, through this process, that the calls being made from our suspect were originating from within 2700 block of E. Carpenter Ave.
OK... so, within minutes law enforcement has obtained an unusual and exigent circumstances waiver to locate you, however this power was not granted to them by a judge or a court ~
but by a CORPORATION... via fax!

An AT&T Exigent Circumstances Form.

Think about that shit for a bit.

FUSION Intelligence centers' growth concerns civil libertarians
Authorities arrested Michael Bauman in March, seizing computers and guns at his Rock Rapids home. They alleged he had threatened to blow up a television relay tower, burn down businesses and kill police officers.

A week later, Iowa authorities issued public statements to dispel a hoax spread by text and e-mail. It included a warning about a planned gang initiation at an unspecified Wal-Mart store in which three women or girls would be shot.

Both cases were handled with help from the Iowa Intelligence Fusion Center, a Des Moines hub for the sharing of information among local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. About 70 fusion centers have been established nationwide with federal assistance since 2006, including ones in every state and in every major city, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Plouffe Daddy Says: 6/6 is when it all begins!
Remember this date: Saturday, June 6th, 2009. We will look back on that day as the moment when the fight for real health care reform began in your neighborhood -- perhaps even in your own living room.

On June 6th, in thousands of homes across the country, we'll gather to launch our grassroots campaign for health care. We'll watch a special message from the President. We'll build the teams and draw up the plans for winning health care reform the same way we won the election: Building support one block, one neighbor, one conversation at a time. And we'll put those plans into action.

These kickoffs are so crucial that President Obama will join confirmed hosts and attendees on a live conference call.

Ancient First Temple artifacts uncovered in Jerusalem
Archaeologists from Israel’s Antiquities Authority (IAA) have revealed two important artifacts recently discovered in Jerusalem, both dating from the First Temple Period (8-7 BCE).

The first, a bone seal engraved with the name ‘Shaul’ was found in an excavation being conducted under the auspices of the IAA, in cooperation with the Nature and Parks Authority in the Walls Around Jerusalem National Park in the City of David.
The name of the seal’s owner was completely preserved and it is written in the shortened form of the name, Shaul, which is known from both the Bible (Genesis 36:37; 1 Samuel 9:2; 1 Chronicles 4:24 and 6:9) and from other Hebrew seals.

Another Hebrew seal and three Hebrew bullae (pieces of clay stamped with seal impressions) were previously discovered nearby. The second artifact, an ancient jar handle bearing the Hebrew name ‘Menachem’ was uncovered in the neighbourhood of Ras el’Amud during an excavation before construction of a girls’ school by the Jerusalem municipality.
