IMF in Kazakhstan to discuss economic crisis

The International Monetary Fund sent a delegation to Kazakhstan this week to discuss the impact of the economic crisis on Central Asia's biggest economy, officials said on Thursday.

The World Bank has suggested Kazakhstan should consider a precautionary stand-by deal with the IMF to ensure additional money is available in an emergency but the oil-rich nation says it has enough state cash to fight the crisis.

Some analysts have speculated that the deepening crisis may force Kazakhstan to change its position.

The Kazakh Parliament made a first step on April 29 towards tightening state controls over the Internet and the media, in a move criticized by human rights watchdogs.

Are You Ready?

[Spoken to the audience]
Somebody has got to tell you about Jesus, right?
I know sometimes, people say to me... Bob?
How can you believe that stuff?
I was raised in a church
Either methodist, catholic, calvinist
Or whatever
But there is churches
and there is churches
Unless you are in a Spirit filled church
You ain't in no church at all
(That's right)
It says that in the last days
God is going to pour
His Spirit out upon all flesh
And it's happening right now

Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready? Are you ready?

Are you ready to meet Jesus?
Are you where you ought to be?
Will He know you when He sees ya?
Or will He say depart from Me?

Are you ready? Are you ready?
Am I ready? Am I ready?
Am I ready? I hope I'm ready

Am I ready to lay down my life for the brethren?
And to take up my cross?
Have I surrendered to the will of God?
Or am I still acting like a boss?

Am I ready?
I hope I'm ready

Have you got some unfinished business?
Something holdin' you back?
Are you thinking for yourself?
Or are you following the pack?

Are you ready? Are you ready?

Are you ready for the judgment?
For that terrible swift sword?
Are you ready for Armageddon?
Are you ready for the day of the Lord?

Are you ready?
I hope you are ready

Blair Says Resolving Mideast Conflict Critical to Curbing Iran

Blair’s experience as peacemaker goes back to 1998 when he and former U.S. Senator George Mitchell helped forge the Good Friday accord that brought an end to sectarian violence in Northern Ireland. Mitchell was tapped in January to be Obama’s Middle East representative.

Meantime, please recall that Mr. Blair was the go between for Hamas and Gerry Adams:

Tony Blair intervened directly with Defense Minister Ehud Barak to enable Northern Ireland politician Gerry Adams through the Erez Crossing and into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, where he met Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

Gerry Adams on George Mitchell:

When President Obama needed to appoint an envoy to the Middle East, he turned to former senator George Mitchell. Why? Because Mitchell has a long track record of facilitating peace among warring parties. One of his most noted successes was in establishing peace accords in Northern Ireland. So who better to tell us what those sitting across the table from Sen. Mitchell can expect than Gerry Adams, the leader of Sinn Fein? He joins us to give his perspective on facing Mitchell and what Mitchell faces in the current conflict in the Middle East.

Hamas to The Obamanable: We are part of the solution
Which solution, MFer? The final one?

Hamas, whose two-decade-old founding charter calls for Israel's destruction, has given mixed signals on many issues in the conflict, including whether it would be willing to accept a Palestinian state within only the territory Israel seized in the 1967 war — Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem.The in-depth interview with Mashaal, which the Times said was conducted in five hours spread over two days at his home in the Syrian capital, offered a clearer signal of the group's direction, setting it down in print in a rare interview with a U.S. news organization. "I promise the American administration and the international community that we will be part of the solution, period," the paper quoted Mashaal as saying.

[HASAN CHOP]

"There is only one enemy in the region, and that is Israel," Mashaal said.

He also said he would not revoke the charter calling for Israel's destruction but said that outsiders should ignore it, noting that it is 20 years old and adding that Hamas is "shaped by our experiences." Speaking about President Barack Obama, Mashaal said, "His language is different and positive."

Re-posting this run from THIS POST from 4/27 for context

The National Security Agency will not take charge of cyber security in the US, notwithstanding calls for it to do so in what is increasingly seen as a critical area.

"We do not want to run cyber security for the US government," Keith Alexander, NSA director, said -yesterday during a speech to security industry professionals. "I think we need to dispel the rumours."

His remarks come just four days after Barack Obama received a recommendation from administration appointee Melissa Hathaway on what should be done to protect classified government networks, the internet and the institutions and infrastructure that rely on both.

GE to sell homeland security business to France's SAFRAN

"This move aligns Homeland Protection with a business that is committed to globalization and further investment in new detection technologies and new products for the Homeland Security space," said GE Security Homeland Protection President and CEO Dennis Cooke.

According to a statement from GE, even once the group is owned by SAFRAN/Sagem Securite, the division will still have research and development benefits by still having access to the GE Global Research Center and GE Healthcare.

The Homeland Protection business unit of GE has developed a variety of solution that might be used in airport security, including sensor technology for spotting traces of explosives and dangerous chemicals or biological agents.

Raytheon partners with Narus

Raytheon Company has partnered with Narus in which Raytheon will embed NarusInsight(TM) to monitor internet protocol (IP) traffic and provide knowledge to help manage and protect sensitive government networks.

OK... WhoTF is NARUS?

Narus is a US private company which produces mass surveillance systems. It was founded in 1997 by Ori Cohen, who had been in charge of technology development for VDONet, an early media streaming pioneer.

It is notable for being the creator of NarusInsight, a supercomputer system which is used by the NSA and other bodies to perform mass surveillance and monitoring of citizens' and corporations' Internet communications in real-time, and whose installation in AT&T's San Francisco Internet backbone gave rise to a 2006 class action lawsuit by the Electronic Frontier Foundation against AT&T.

In 2004, Narus engaged the former Deputy Director of the National Security Agency, William Crowell as a director. From the Press Release announcing this:

"Crowell is an independent security consultant and holds several board positions with a variety of technology and technology-based security companies. Since 9/11, Crowell has served on the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Task Force on Terrorism and Deterrence, the National Research Council Committee on Science and Technology for Countering Terrorism and the Markle Foundation Task Force on National Security in the Information Age."

Narus has venture funding from companies including JP Morgan Partners, Mayfield, NeoCarta, Presidio Venture Partners, Walden International, Intel, NTT Software and Sumisho Electronics. Narus has several business partners who provide various technologies similar to the features of NarusInsight. Several of the partners are funded by In-Q-Tel.

If this is true, guaranteed he is in Heaven RIGHT NOW:

Fitzwater wrote in his memoirs about a time when Kemp lunged at Secretary of State James Baker III in the Oval Office. The housing secretary was “nagging, nagging, nagging” Bush to recognize the breakaway Soviet satellite of Lithuania and Baker, the color rising in his face, screamed an epithet at Kemp, Fitzwater recalled. Kemp bounded across the furniture and grabbed at Baker’s throat. They were pulled apart to avoid a fistfight.”

Jack Kemp in His Own Words

There is another economy -- a second economy that is similar in respects to the East European or Third World socialist economies. It functions in a fashion opposite to the mainstream capitalist economy. It predominates in the pockets of poverty throughout urban and rural America. This economy has barriers to productive human and social activity and a virtual absence of economic incentives and rewards. It denies black, Hispanic and other minority men and women entry into the mainstream. This economy works almost as effectively as did hiring notices 50 years ago that read "No Blacks -- or Hispanics or Irish or whatever -- Need Apply."
