Barack Obama links Israel peace plan to 1967 borders deal
See? Glow Ball Peace through dead Juden, my friends!
Barack Obama is to pursue an ambitious peace plan in the Middle East involving the recognition of Israel by the Arab world in exchange for its withdrawal to pre-1967 borders, according to sources close to America’s president-elect. Obama intends to throw his support behind a 2002 Saudi peace initiative endorsed by the Arab League and backed by Tzipi Livni, the Israeli foreign minister and leader of the ruling Kadima party. The proposal gives Israel an effective veto on the return of Arab refugees expelled in 1948 while requiring it to restore the Golan Heights to Syria and allow the Palestinians to establish a state capital in east Jerusalem. On a visit to the Middle East last July, the president-elect said privately it would be “crazy” for Israel to refuse a deal that could “give them peace with the Muslim world”, according to a senior Obama adviser.

Lebanon: Fuck the Jews, Hezbollah part of next government
BEIRUT — Lebanese prime minister-designate Saad Hariri said on Wednesday Hezbollah will be part of the next cabinet "whether Israel likes it or not," as his bid to form a government entered its eight week.

"The national unity government will include the (ruling) March 14 alliance, and I also want to assure the Israeli enemy that Hezbollah will be in this government whether it likes it or not because Lebanon's interests require all parties be involved in this cabinet," Hariri said at an Iftar feast to break the Ramadan fast on Tuesday night.
Lebanese villagers repel Hizbullah men
The grainy video showed residents of Kfar Manisim, which is only a kilometer from Israel, standing in front of a Hizbullah jeep and arguing with its occupants. The operatives, who had apparently tried to station arms in the houses of the villagers, resisted, and both sides began firing warning shots into the air. The incident eventually ended when the Hizbullah men turned around and drove away.

Iraq, Syria Recall Diplomats Over Baghdad Bombings
Iraq recalled its ambassador from Syria today and said the government in Damascus must give up two Saddam Hussein loyalists for allegedly organizing bombings in Baghdad last week that killed 95 people. Syria in turn recalled its envoy to Baghdad, saying that unless Iraq provides proof, it would consider the claims to have been fabricated for “political goals,” the state-owned Syrian Arab News Agency reported.

Saudi Religious Police Crack Down on 'Evil' Circuses
Religious police in Saudi Arabia are cracking down on summer festivals and circuses intended by the government to boost domestic tourism, because they violate strict religious restrictions on singing, dancing, the mixing of unrelated men and women, and "evil" circus performances, Reuters reported. Conservative clerics backed by powerful members of the Saudi royal family oppose the efforts to liberalize the world's biggest oil exporter. Circus acts such as fire-eating and lying on a bed of glass are seen as forms of magic outlawed by Sharia law.
Now, a 'suspicious' ship off Karnataka
NEW DELHI: Even as the security and intelligence agencies were probing the strange case of the North Korean ship, MV Mu San, found anchored near the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, another "suspicious" ship was detected off Karwar in Karnataka recently. Officials said the ship, MV Shahin, was detected after it was found anchored off Karwar, where Navy's new strategic deep sea base is coming up, a few days ago. "The ship apparently anchored there due to bad weather. The ship was boarded and searched, but nothing controversial was found on board. The DG, Shipping, cleared it to sail today (Tuesday)," said an official. Meanwhile, MV Mu San has been taken to Kakinada from Port Blair for further investigations.
Indonesia and The Philippines: The Jemaah Al Islamiyah
They all resonate to the same ideology. They share expertise, training and materials, and even participate in each other's operations. They learn to make bombs, and train in weapons, surveillance, sabotage, communication, cell formation and their brand of religion. The groups may have different names such as Al-Qaeda, Jemaah al Islamiyah (JI), the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) or the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) but they truly only see themselves in common cause: fellow Mujahedeen fighting to defend their religion - Islam - and to create an Islamic state or caliphate.
Ex-Bosnian Serb chief: US helped Iran arm Muslims
AMSTERDAM — Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic has told The Associated Press he is seeking evidence that the U.S. facilitated arms shipments from Iran to Bosnian Muslims during the Bosnian war.

Karadzic's war crimes trial is likely to start within a few weeks. He is accused of genocide and crimes against humanity during the Bosnian war, during which more than 100,000 people were killed.In written responses to questions, Karadzic said he has asked several countries for documents that will support his contention they violated the U.N. arms embargo during the 1992-95 conflict.

He said this included direct U.S. military supplies to the Bosnian Muslim army and Iranian weapons sent through Croatia with U.S. support.
Iranians Seethe, Do Drugs, Have Lots of Sex Changes

Lundborg: The ayatollahs filter the modern world through the Koran?

Majd: That’s their job. For example, obviously there were no sex-change operations at the time of Mohammed the Prophet. But when Khomeini was still alive, the issue of sex-change operations came up: Is this something Islam would allow and he decided yes. The government will even pay for it.

Lundborg: So are there a lot of male to female operations?

Majd: It’s mostly male to female, but there are a lot of female to male operations as well. Iranian doctors are considered among the top surgeons in the world for this.

'Iran freezes no. of centrifuges enriching uranium at Natanz'
Iran's output of enriched uranium is stagnating, diplomats said Tuesday, suggesting that Teheran may be running short the material needed for producing nuclear fuel or the fissile core of warheads. The diplomats - who demanded anonymity because their information was confidential - emphasized that the possibility that Iran was running out of uranium oxide was only one of several possible explanations of why it had not increased its production of enriched uranium since May.

FBI saves the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline from an attack by Russian hackers?
According to a news report on a Georgian Web site, Russian hackers under the direction of the GRU/FSB took down the data server of the BTC Pipeline on August 24th, 2009, effectively shutting down the second longest oil pipeline in the world. An FBI team and an un-identified intelligence service regained control of the pipeline’s data server and migrated it to Washington. The BTC pipeline has resumed normal operation.

UPDATE: I just heard from a contact that British Petroleum says the report of a hacker attack on the BTC pipeline is false. That oil was shifted to a different pipeline but not because of a Russian orchestrated hacker attack.

Putin to Meet with Kokoity in Moscow

Shamba praises Putin for his `courage`
Abkhazian Television has released an interview with the separatist foreign minister Sergey Shamba, who has praised Russian PM, Vladimir Putin for his courage and bravery. Shamba was questioned regarding the significance of Abkhazia`s recognition a year ago. Russia recognized Georgia`s two breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia on August 26, 2008, after the war in Georgia. Shamba said Putin turned out the most courageous among the Russian authorities, who dare recognize Abkhazia`s independence, despite the fact that even before the beginning of war in Tskhinvali, Russians had the recognition declaration prepared. He said the document had been placed on the tables of Russian authorities for years.

`Only the current prime minister turned out brave enough to do this,` Shamba said and admitted that Russia was preparing the separatists for recognition even before the August war.

With blanket bans on information and extreme levels of opaque governance, Turkmenistan is one of the most oppressive countries in the world. Despite this, many ‘western’ democracies are weakening their stance on the protection of human rights in the country, in large measure due to Turkmenistan’s vast hydrocarbons reserves. “The international community must work with the Government of Turkmenistan to open space for democratic reform and recognise the role of civil society in building a just nation that respects the freedoms of its people,” says Ingrid Srinath, Secretary General of CIVICUS.

UZBEKISTAN: TASHKENT WON'T PARTICIPATE IN CSTO WAR GAMES

Uzbekistan will not take part in upcoming Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) military exercises because of Tashkent’s "special position" on the newly created rapid reaction force, known as ACORN.A high-ranking Russian military source told the Interfax news agency that Uzbek officials will not participate in any aspect of the war games, which were scheduled to start on August 26 and continue until mid-October. The games include military maneuvers and technical meetings "to work out the military-political aspects of coalition interoperability," the Interfax report stated.

Uzbekistan is vehemently opposed to the creation of ACORN. Tashkent maintains the force could be used to meddle in its domestic affairs. [For background see the Eurasia Insight archive]

Obama Names Bernanke to Second Term as Fed Chief
Perhaps more than anything else, Bernanke has become known for his willingness to dust off a Depression-era statute — section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act — to provide life-saving funds to some of the most prominent firms on Wall Street. Under the law, the Fed, in circumstances deemed by the Board of Governors as “unusual and exigent,” is allowed to open its lending window to any and all institutions, from investment banks to insurance firms and everything in between. That is precisely what Bernanke did to prop up failing investment bank Bear Stearns and insurance giant American International Group Inc.

Former Bush Security Chiefs Find Terrorism Can Be Profitable
Contracts with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are spewing billions of dollars into private industry, largely to companies that also rely on Pentagon military contracts. In this new variation of the military-industrial complex a new revolving door is now in full swing.

Tom Ridge and Michael Chertoff, the two Republican stalwarts who served as the first two Department of Homeland Security secretaries, are now busy attracting defense, homeland security, and intelligence contracts in the country's rapidly expanding high-tech security complex.

Tom Ridge, former Pennsylvania governor who was appointed by President Bush to direct the newly created DHS, has parlayed his government service into a lucrative career in business since he stepped down as DHS chief in November 2004. Soon after leaving DHS, Tom Ridge became president and CEO of Ridge Global, a global strategic consulting firm. He also has joined numerous corporate boards and advisory groups, including major military and homeland security contractors.

Abortion 'explicitly' covered under ObamaCare
FactCheck.org says the National Right to Life Committee is correct concerning abortion provisions in ObamaCare. According to FactCheck.org, President Barack Obama was right to a "limited extent" when he stated that his healthcare reform plan does not allow for "government-funded abortion." Although FactCheck.org states that under H.R. 3200 federal money is not used to fund abortion, under the public insurance option there is a provision for abortion coverage -- as well as provisions for government-subsidized public and private insurance plans that cover what are described as "reproductive services."

Look hard at everything President Obama has said and done -- this week's attack on the CIA, his banishment of the phrase "Global War on Terrorism" and its replacement with the milquetoast "overseas contingency operations," his apologetic Cairo speech, his seeming indifference to the recent bombings in Iraq, his unwillingness to seize the opportunity of the students' uprising in Iran to knock over that dangerous regime, his trashing of our special relationship with Israel, and all the rest including his longtime personal relationships with vicious America-haters like Bill Ayers and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright -- and the conclusion is inescapable: President Obama is throwing the switch from offense back to defense, and returning the US to its September 10 mindset.

The U.S. Energy Department plans to undertake a significant assessment next month of a $384 million plan for converting a supply of weapon-grade uranium 233 to lower-enriched material, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported (see GSN, June 24). The plan would now require building a new facility for the material next door to its current storage site, a World War II-era facility that will also process the uranium at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, said Steve McCracken, federal environmental manager at the site.
