Israel releases Hamas speaker of parliament
We are right out of our MFing minds.
RAMALLAH, West Bank, June 23 (Reuters) - Israel released on Tuesday the Hamas speaker of the Palestinian parliament, Aziz Dweik, who was jailed for nearly three years over his ties to the Islamist group, his lawyer said.

The release of Dweik came after the Israeli prosecutors failed to persuade a military court last week to extend his prison term, which was set to end in August.

Israel detained Dweik, 60, and dozens of other Hamas politicians in the occupied West Bank in 2006 shortly after gunmen from the Palestinian Islamist group and other militants abducted an Israeli soldier on the Gaza Strip border.

National Press Club to Host 'NEWSMAKER' Program: Muslim Leader to Outline 'New Beginning' in Relations With United States
When I first read this I read it as POGRAM which would actually be more accurate.

WASHINGTON, June 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary general of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, will outline ways to build on what the group calls the "new beginning" in U.S.-Muslim relations in the wake of President Obama's recent address in Egypt at a National Press Club Newsmakers press conference at noon on Tuesday, June 23, in the Lisagor Room, 13th floor, National Press Building, 529 14th St., N.W., Washington, DC.

Ihsanoglu will report on his meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, which is scheduled for the afternoon of June 22. While in Washington, Ihsanoglu also is meeting with congressional leaders.

The Organization of the Islamic Conference, the second largest inter-governmental organization in the world after the United Nations, is comprised of 57 member and 5 observer states. Ihsanoglu was elected secretary general in 2005. He has been involved with OIC since 1980, when he became founding director general of the Research Centre for Islamic History, Culture and Arts in Istanbul. He has been a leader in increasing worldwide awareness about Islamic culture through research, publishing and organizing conferences on the history of arts and sciences and intercultural relations.

In 2005, the OIC adopted a ten-year plan to promote tolerance and moderation, modernization, good governance and family values and human rights in the Muslim world, especially with regard to rights of children, women and the elderly. It also is working to improve science and technology, education and trade relations.

Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in the New World
I am sure this man is probably a troofer, and a knee jerk leftist, however - ya gotta glean - I am also sure he worked very hard researching all of this and there is much that is true here regardless of any agenda or errors in perception the author obviously bears. You have to read all sides and divide by 17. They are all biased and lying to us on some level.
With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, America's superpower supremacy depends on "precluding Eurasian countries from developing their own defense pillars or security structures independent of US-controlled NATO," especially to prevent a powerful China-Russia alliance capable of serious challenge, along with other Eurasian states, notably oil rich ones.

As geopolitical strategist Halford Mackinder (1861 - 1947) observed in his most famous dictum:

"Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland;
Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island;
Who rules the World-Island commands the World."

Mackinder's World-Island was Eurasia, all of Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

SNIP

"Swarming" is a RAND Corporation term referring to "communication patterns and movement of" bees and other insects and applying it to military conflict by other means. It plays out through covert CIA actions to overthrow democratically elected governments, remove foreign leaders and key officials, prop up friendly dictators, and target individuals anywhere in the world.

Also through propaganda and activities of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), the International Republican Institute (IRI), and National Democratic Institute (NDI) - posing as NGOs but, in fact, are US government-funded organizations charged with subverting democracy, uprooting it where it exists, or preventing its creation by criminally disruptive means. Methods include non-violent strikes, mass street protests, and major media agitprop for regime change - much like what's now playing out in Iran after its presidential election.

Other recent examples include the Belgrade 2000 coup against Slobodan Misosevic, Georgia's 2003 Rose Revolution ousting Eduard Shevardnadze for the US-installed stooge, Mikheil Saakashvili, and the 2004-05 Ukraine Orange Revolution, based on faked electoral fraud, to install another Washington favorite, Viktor Yushchenko. The idea is to isolate Russia by cutting off its economic lifeline - the "pipeline networks that (carry its) huge reserves of oil and natural gas from the Urals and Serbia to Western Europe and Eurasia..." They run through Ukraine, a nation "so intertwined (with Russia) economically, socially and culturally, especially in the east of the country, that they were almost indistinguishable from one another."

SNIP

Central to the current conflict is control of the region's vast oil and gas reserves, and as long as Russia can use its resources "to win economic allies in Western Europe, China, and elsewhere, it (can't) be politically isolated." As a result, Moscow reacts harshly to military encirclement and bordering Color Revolutions - hostile acts, the geopolitical equivalence of war.

For America to remain the sole superpower, controlling global oil and gas flows is crucial along with cutting off China from Caspian Sea reserves and securing the energy routes and networks between Russia and the EU.

It's why America invaded and occupies Afghanistan and Iraq, incited Baltic wars in the 1990s, attacked Kosovo and Serbia in 1999, threatens Iran repeatedly and imposes sanctions, and keeps trying to oust Hugo Chavez. For its part under Vladimir Putin, Russia's economy began to grow for the first time in decades. It's rich in oil and gas, and uses them strategically to gain influence enough to rival Washington, especially in alliance with China and other former Soviet states like Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, united in the 2001-formed Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) with Iran and India having observer status.

U.S. and Kyrgyzstan sign new air base deal
U.S. officials, eager to press ahead with plans to more than double its presence in Afghanistan by year-end, were banking on the ex-Soviet republic reversing its previous order to shut the base by the middle of August.

"The agreement was signed yesterday," deputy Kabai Karabekov told Reuters.

Under the new deal, annual rent for the Manas base, nestled in steppes outside the capital Bishkek, will rise to $60 million from $17.4 million, Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Kadyrbek Sarbayev told the parliamentary defense committee.

Washington also agreed to several large one-off payments.

Moscow tested about 500 bombs here between 1949 and 1989, exposing 1.5 million people like Abishev to extreme levels of radiation and contaminating an area roughly the size of Germany.

Uranium Rises to Seven-Month High as Energy Commodities Gain

Afternoon Stocks To Watch - URRE - Uranium Resources, Inc
Uranium Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: URRE - News) (URI), announced that it plans to file today a petition with the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals for an en banc review regarding its ruling on April 17, 2009 that determined URI’s Section 8 in Churchrock, New Mexico is Indian Country and, therefore, comes under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for the issuance of an Underground Injection Control Permit (UIC). The New Mexico Environmental Department has previously issued a UIC permit to the Company, which continues to be in timely renewal.

Dave Clark, President and CEO of URI, noted, “As we’ve stated previously, we intend to proceed in a manner that will allow us to obtain an effective UIC permit. Our objective remains to resolve issues with the Navajo Nation regarding uranium mining in New Mexico, so we can be well positioned to begin production as quickly and as safely as possible.”
Powertech Announces Significant Increases in Inferred Uranium Resources
Powertech Uranium Corp. ("Powertech" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a 42% increase in inferred uranium resources at its Dewey-Burdock Project in Custer and Fall River Counties, South Dakota and an 18% increase in inferred uranium resources at its Centennial Project in Weld County, Colorado.
Waseco to Drill Extensive Uranium Discovery
Waseco Resources Inc. is pleased to announce that an initial diamond drilling program will start on June 29th, 2009, on its Du Portage uranium claims in the Quebec Labrador Trough, Canada. The drilling is part of the $1.1 Million 2009 exploration program being funded by the AREVA group.

Significant surficial uranium was first reported by Waseco in 2007, following a high resolution geophysical survey. Uranium zones extending up to 4 km, with widths of 500m to 1km, were reported, with the smallest of the six (6) zones being approximately 800m by 400m in size. Several of the areas have potential for iron formation hosted gold and copper, as well as uranium.

“The Navajo Nation is going to greatly benefit from that,” she said
• Drinking Water – $3 million for phase 1 for Sweetwater-to-Shiprock drinking water.

This will serve 93 homes without piped water near three unregulated water sources that have been contaminated with uranium, 845 homes served by public water systems that exceed the arsenic drinking water standard, and 982 homes with inadequate water supply.

AIG Trading Partners Put Squeeze on Insurer Before US Bailout
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Societe Generale SA extracted about $11.4 billion from American International Group Inc. before the insurer’s collapse as the firms demanded to hold cash against losses on mortgage-linked securities, according to regulatory filings.

Goldman Sachs got $5.9 billion and Societe Generale received $5.5 billion of about $18.5 billion in collateral paid by AIG in the 15 months before the September bailout. The payments helped settle AIG’s obligations on $62.1 billion of credit-default swaps that the Federal Reserve later removed from the New York-based insurer as part of the rescue. Officials at AIG, Goldman Sachs and Societe Generale declined to comment.

NCUA Keeps Power Under Obama Plan; New Agency Would Oversee Products
A near nakba, decrees Obamanable. But no cigar?
The NCUA would maintain its authority over credit unions, but there would be a new agency to regulate many of the financial products issued by credit unions, according to a regulatory restructuring plan released last Wednesday by the Obama administration.

While the NCUA would remain intact, some of its consumer protection responsibilities would be shifted to a new Consumer Financial Protection Agency that would regulate mortgages, credit cards and other financial products. Currently, many consumer regulations are issued jointly by the NCUA, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision.

In a White House speech attended by lawmakers, regulators and lobbyists, President Obama said the changes were needed to avoid a recurrence of events and policies that “led us to near catastrophe.”

TARP creates economic quagmire
QUAGMIRED we are!
TARP was first passed by Congress in the crisis environment of October 2008 out of fear that if a few large banks were allowed to fail the entire banking system would collapse. TARP gave the Bush administration wide latitude in spending $700 billion to salvage the banking industry by having the government purchase toxic mortgage assets. Regrettably, TARP has become a metaphorical blank check for U.S. government officials to spend taxpayer funds as they see fit to subsidize various businesses to keep them from failing.

Obama's Post-Capitalist America
We don’t have to work too hard to envision what Obama’s Post-Capitalist America will look like, because it’s here already. The basic ingredients bureaucratization and overregulation have already destroyed sizable chunks of American industry and business over a number of decades. Now with nationalization on the table, we’re getting the first glimpses of what the American auto industry and medicine will look like, nationalized.
NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT:
"Years ago, there's no way we could do this," said Keith Sadler, Lancaster's police chief. "It brings to mind Big Brother, George Orwell and '1984.' It's just funny how Americans have softened on these issues."

"No one talks about it," agreed Scott Martin, a Lancaster County commissioner who wants to expand the program. "Because people feel safer. Those who are law-abiding citizens, they don't have anything to worry about."

AP source: DHS to kill domestic satellite spying
LIES! PLEASE NOTE: The operative sentence is the final one.
They have killed ZERO.
A government official says Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano plans to kill a controversial program begun by the Bush administration to use U.S. spy satellites for domestic security and law enforcement.The program was announced in 2007 and was to have been run by Homeland Security. It has been delayed because of privacy and civil liberty concerns.

The official said lawmakers who objected to the program, known as the National Applications Office, will be notified about the decision Tuesday. The official was not authorized to discuss the decision and spoke on condition of anonymity Monday.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency and Interior Department will continue to have access to this satellite imagery.
