The Gang Stalking Theory

The Gang Stalking Theory

This research was compiled and contributed by 971033:
While both the Interstate trucking and traveling salesman scenarios contain the element of mobility, and hence satisfy the wide geo-spatial groupings of these murders, please bear in mind that almost 13 years have elapsed from the time of the first cluster discoveries. Consider the fact that on at least 7 occasions victims were reported missing at nearly the identical time in 5 different locations with 2 of the locations nearly 1,000 miles apart. In your scenario, a trucker/salesman would have to exit the interstate, find or locate a previously selected bar and/or private party or bash, and then isolate the victim, drug him, presumably allow the victim to leave the party or bar, allow the victim to succumb to the drug and then attack the victim and place him in a waiting semi-truck or vehicle. While this is certainly within the realm of possibility, consider the following factors:
  1. the wide-spread geographical distribution of the crime scenes
  2. the methodical pre-selection of targeted individuals precludes the likelihood of a truck driver given the rather chaotic time constraints imposed upon interstate truckers
  3. no crime scene information that is publically available suggests or points to the presence of a tractor/trailer truck combination
  4. the mere physicality of many of the victims would suggest that 3 or more people would be needed to carry out the assaults
  5. as of 1999 all interstate shippers have installed “low-jack” technologies and software that make the tracking of these trucks very easy. Admittedly, independents might circumvent this stricture, and
  6. “traveling salesman” might fit the bill but a 13 year run covering 2.8 million square miles seems to stretch crudility, if not statistical certitude to their very limits. However, with the pre-positioning of storage and/or refrigeration units along the route of distruction, and the assailant’s ability to maintain total cover and/or situational awareness, the trucker/salesman scenario is possible but unlikely given the fact that as far as we (the public) know that no forensic evidence has been recovered that would sustain or support either scenario.
I suppose at this juncture, I should introduce into our discussion the following reality. There exists in the United States, as well as in Canada, and 4 or 5 western European nations, a phenomenon commonly referred to as “Gang Stalking” or the systematic targeting of individuals for harrassment. It has been profferred that both the “government” and private security corporations have carried out these operations against whistle-blowers, witnesses to corruption, political dissidents, or other individuals who have found themselves on the wrong side of the power pradigm. Given the singularity, and highly integrated nature and the prolonged precision of these sustained murders, I would suggest that the perpetrators of “Gang Stalking” have created a “Graduate School” for its more violent and malevolent practioners. It must be said, that these kinds of attacks were common in Germany and Eastern Europe leading up to WWII, however, in a modern Democracy such as the USA, such attacks must bear at least a partial seal of official acquiescence if not outright sanction.
Lisa Haugaard, Covert Action Quarterly wrote:
“….Several recently declassified US military training manuals show how US agents taught repressive techniques and promoted the violation of human rights throughout Latin America and around the globe. The manuals provide the paper trail that proves how the US trained Latin American and other militaries to infiltrate and spy upon civilians and groups, including unions, political parties, and student and charitable organizations; to treat legal political opposition like armed insurgencies; and to circumvent laws on due process, arrest, and detention. In these how-to guides, the US advocates tactics such as executing guerrillas, blackmail, false imprisonment, physical abuse, using truth serum to obtain information, and paying bounties for enemy dead.
Counterintelligence agents are advised that one of their functions is “recommending targets for neutralization,” a euphemism for execution or destruction…..”
The killings of these young men MAY be but a long term training exercise runing out of the School of the Americas farms scattered across the U.S.
What Kind of Person Participates in Organized Stalking?
Compiled from several gang stalking sourses……
…..”All factions of mainstream society can become involved in gang stalking; everyone from children to senior citizens can be recruited to participate in spying, harassment and torture of targeted individuals. Governments have used these civilian spy groups in various forms since the Roman Empire. From my own experiences and research, I believe that smaller groups of thrill seekers have adopted the tactics of COINTELPRO, RED SQUAD and similar interrogation and terrorism programs throughout history, and use these to torment targets. -sometimes it is trickle down or direct interference from well established networks, and many times it’s thrill seekers copy catting the nefarious deeds of past criminals, criminal agencies and operations. A well developed and insidious form of government interference are organizations like Citizen Corps, T.I.P.S., Citizens on Phone Patrol. These groups present fronts about keeping America safe, etc. always implying/suggesting these fears that we need to keep an eye out for the bad guys. Such groups patrol neighborhoods, airways, and use illegal surveillance for gathering information, spying, and terrorizing those unfortunate individuals who have made it onto their blacklists.
There really is no distinct age group or sub-culture that gang stalking participants are limited to. I’ve experienced stalking behavior from children as young as 10 all the way up to little old ladies.
Some people end up participating by being recruited into one of the organizations, like Citizen Corps, because they genuinely want to help their community. Such people might think they are volunteering to help keeo their communities safe and prepared for natural disasters, but end up getting sucked into monitoring the lives of innocent people who have been deemed dangerous, as handed down by hidden leaders, to the organizers of these programs. Many citizens neglect to utilize critical thinking to realize that what they are being told about people could possibly be untrue, or they are scared not to comply with these seemingly powerful leader types. Oftentimes these handlers are authoratative and charismatic men who first approach a group of a target’s associates, pretending to be someone very high up in terms of power and influence (though in reality they are just smaller fish higher ups use to leverage their surveillance information).
As a target of gang stalking I’ve seen how respective degrees of personal response-ability (or lack thereof) play out for those affected by mob mentality. Particularly those with low self esteem, an undeveloped ability to think for themselves, a need to fit in to a social group or wield power over others… are prime candidates to be taken into the world of gang stalking, either as malicious and willing participants (thrill seekers) or as somewhat less witting pawns.
In most cases of organized stalking, it appears that weakness of character and maliciousness contribute to the decision of a person to willfully participate in the harming of another. In many cases it’s sick thrill seeking that fuels the desire to participate. In everycase there’s a lack of personal responsibility. Many times this caused by fear. Fear is a very common motivator for people to participate in gang stalking. Many TIs report that harassment against them did not start until they were approached and refused to participate in harassing or terrorizing someone else”……
A Very Brief History of Gang Stalking
“……Indoctrination and oppression of the masses moved into covert operation during the 20th century. As civil- and inalienable- rightsmoved to the forefront of human consciousness, the powers-that-be who would continue to control the masses by any means necessary switched to experiments involving targeted individuals. Just like with drug trials, at first a hundred people are given a drug, then a thousand, then it is pushed on millions. These experiments involve several types of psychological warfare including street theater, gaslighting, and generally infringing upon the personal space of a target. These attacks are doled out in smaller traumatic events spread across weeks, months and years with the intent to produce cumulative stress. When the target then produces what seems to be irrational behavior, these behaviors are used as evidence against the target to show that they are ‘mentally unsound’ or ‘delusional’.
Following 9-11 and similar ‘terrorist’ events of 2001, various campaigns claiming an agenda of nullifying terrorism and taking out terrorists have further set the stage for presenting an imaginary threat to civilian populations in order to facilitate these mind control experiments on targeted individuals…..”
The young men who have been targeted in these killings would be considered high value targets not because of who they are….but what they are….these gangs have moved on from influenceing targets to something much more dangerous….as we shall see….
“……Perpetrators of gang stalking come from all facets of society. Stanley Milgram proposed that people were largely unwilling to question authority in his ‘obedience experiment’ where volunteers were asked to deliver what they thought were lethal or near-lethal electric shocks to strangers. About 70% of them obliged simply because an authority figure requested them to. In summary of this experiment Milgram said,
‘The legal and philosophic aspects of obedience are of enormous importance, but they say very little about how most people behave in concrete situations. I set up a simple experiment at Yale University to test how much pain an ordinary citizen would inflict on another person simply because he was ordered to by an experimental scientist. Stark authority was pitted against the subjects’ [participants'] strongest moral imperatives against hurting others, and, with the subjects’ [participants'] ears ringing with the screams of the victims, authority won more often than not. The extreme willingness of adults to go to almost any lengths on the command of an authority constitutes the chief finding of the study and the fact most urgently demanding explanation.’
Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process. Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority……”
With all of this in mind, and by “this” I mean, random variables and often conflicting values to say nothing of characters and personalities and motives and drives, I would suggest that a serious re-examination of “Nash’s Equilibriation” be undertaken right away. Think of it this way, the perpetrators are ordinary but evil. From the banality of mass man a malevolent enigma has emerged. With respect to the victims, we have excellence and achievement as new targets for this enigma. These young men who have died should be honored and their lives celebrated. However, in the post-modern world, they have been targeted for murder and destruction. We truly do live in Alice’s rabbit hole. A seven year-old girl is gang raped as a result of her 15 year-old sister selling her to neighbors. (True Story) A 15 year-old girl is driven to suicide as a result of a community-wide harrassment effort (This happened in Massachusetts). The values of Western Civilization in our post-Industrial World have been turned on their heads. Gang stalking and its increasingly frequent consequence, murder, when seen through the glass darkly, is an authentic aberration/reality that we must deal with.
“……..What if I said to you, fill out this survey for me. It will have information such as
-Resume
-former jobs
-places you have been
-books you have read
-all your friends
-family
-lovers
-associates
-old schools
=old companies
-who you associate with now
-group affiliations
-religious
It will also have any other personal details that you want to provide.
I am not only going to use this information to profile you, but to help me in profiling those around you. I will use the information to advertise to you, to help you find groups and other people that might be of interest to you, but I will also use it for other purposes, would you say yes?
What if I told you that this information would some day be used to find you, and anyone associated with you, should you speak out against the government?
What If I told you this information would be used to find you should you commit a crime, or just be accused of one, guilty or not.
What if I told you this info would be used to find you, should you ever flee the country, or try to go underground?
Don’t believe it, think again, Facebook is so much more than you expected.
Let’s say something happens and you have to go on the run, who is going to help you? It’s not usually going to be strangers, we are all commented. By giving out who you went to high school, middle school, university with, you have cut off that circle. By giving out the groups you are associated with, you have cut off that circle. By giving out the places you have been, you have cut off that circle. Library records, now they have a way to look for you based on reading habits. Etc.
You are boxing yourself into a corner and don’t even know it. If the day ever comes when something does happen, you blog something someone does not like, you make a comment, you have to pack and leave for any reason, no one will be able to help you, because the information is out there.
The pictures you share, all those biometrically recognisable faces. Everything you put out there is shared, and once the information is out there, it is not getting erased. Once it’s on the net, expect it to be there forever.
I don’t use facebook, but I know others who do. I have heard a couple of fun stories. When people commit crimes or are accused of crimes, wanted for questioning, etc, one of the first things cops do is go to facebook. They find out who people’s friends are, their families, connections are, where they have been, group affiliations etc.
I also had one person who does not use facebook anymore tell me, that when they were on the site, they had a pop up message, I don’t know what it’s called, but apparently you have lists of friends, and they have friends, well the pop up said, based on your list, you might know this person and might want to add them to your friendship list. The person in question who got the pop up, did know the person and it scared this person enough to get them off facebook. They are cross checking and scanning information. Seeing who knows who, who had what affiliations, who went to school with who, who is connected. Connections that you might not even think about, yet they knew.
I am not saying this can only be used for criminals, but I am saying if you value your privacy and the time ever comes when you have to hide, get out of the country, or disagree with the government, are accused of a crime even falsely, you have no place to hide. They know who is a friend of a friend of a friend, who is associated with this group, who went to this place, that, in their past, if you are on the run, where you are likely to go, and who you are likely to connect with, and who those people are connected with.
People nowadays are different than people of the past. Technology can help us, but look at the type of society that we are in. We are coming up on a surveillance society, and because of that, it might be a good idea, to not provide the government database with all your information. Information that you would be peeved off at to realise that others had, if they got it in some other way, but information that you are all too willing to freely give and share.
Use facebook if you want, but just be aware of what you are giving out. It’s not a matter of being I have done nothing wrong, I have nothing to worry about, the time will come where that will not matter. Becareful about what you are putting out there.
Also keep in mind that this information is being aggregated with other lists and other bits of information to paint a very detailed picture of you.
Don’t get me wrong, facebook from what I have heard is a great way to get together groups, etc, but if those groups are all being put together on a government controlled website, is that a good idea for your specific group? Would you go to FBI, or CIA head quarters and hold your meetings there? If so then you have nothing to worry about, or think about……..”
How many of our victims had “face book or other social sharing” site accounts?? I wonder…
People from all walks of life are being recruited to be the eyes and ears of the state. People from all races, ages, genders. Every sector of society that you can think of is a part of this. Civilian Spies/Snitches include, but are not limited to: General labourers, the wealthy, bikers, drug dealers, drug users, street people, punks, hip hop culture, KKK, black activists, church groups, youth groups, Fire Fighters, police officers, lawyers, health care workers, store keepers, maids, janitors, cable installers, phone repair persons, mail carriers, locksmiths, electricians, etc. There really is no minimum or maximum age range. An article came out recently in the UK, saying they were recruiting children as young as eight years old to be Covert Human Intelligence Sources.
Public individual that the Targeted Individual comes in contact with are given this warning. Some of these citizens might be recruited via programs such as Citizen Corp, Weed and Seed, Citizens On Phone Patrol, (COPP), City Watch, T.I.P.S. Many started with good intentions to help patrol and monitor their cities and neighbourhoods. Others are recruited via their families, others at school, others at work. Since every sector, class, race in society takes part, recruitment is multi-faceted.
Many do not understand or care that the end consequence of this flagging, this harassment protocol is to destroy a person.
Why people participate in Gang Stalking?
There are many reasons that someone takes part in this activity.
1. Some do it for the sense of power that it gives them.
2. Others do this as a way to make friends and keep friends. It’s something social and fun for them to do. Many in society use the one handed sign language to communicate and it’s very effective in breaking down race, gender, age, social barriers.
3. Others are forced or black mailed by the State or the police into taking part.
4. They are told that they are part of homeland or national security. They are told that they are being used to help keep and eye on dangerous or emotionally disturbed individuals. They see themselves as heroic spies for the state.
Civilian spies can come from a variety of different programs such as the Citizen Corp, Citizen On Phone Patrol COPP, Weed and Seed, T.I.P.S., City Watch or some other centralized government program used for patrolling and monitoring cities.
5. Others are just local thugs or Informants who are already being used for other activities, and their energies are just diverted over into these community spy programs. Eg. Some may be given the choice of Spying for the State or the police vs going to jail.
6. Others are told outright lies and slander about the target to get them to go along with ruining the targets life.
7. Many are however just average citizens who have been recruited by the state the same way citizens were recruited in the former East Germany and other countries. It’s the way the society is.
What are some techniques used against targets?
A few of the most common techniques are listed below.
a) Classical conditioning.
Getting a Targeted Individual sensitized to an everyday stimuli. The targeted individual over a period of months, or even years is negatively sensitised to an everyday stimuli, which is then used to harass them. It’s used out in public to let them know they are constantly being harassed and monitored. Some examples of everyday stimulus that might be used include: sounds, colors, patterns, actions. Eg. Red, white, yellow, strips, pens clicking, key jangling, loud coughing, loud whistling, loud smacking of clapping of hands together, cell phones, laptops, etc.
b) 24/7 Surveillance This will involve flagging and following the target everywhere they go. Learning about the target. Where they shop, work, play, who their friends and family are. Getting close to the target, moving into the community or apartment where they live, across the street. Monitoring the targets phone, house, and computer activity. Surveillance Policy.
c) Isolation of said target.
This is done via reports. The reports are meant to warn the community, but they act as little more than slander campaigns. They present a one sided assessment of the targets behavior and activity. The target is never allowed to tell their side of the story or to clear their name. This one sided assessment can include false reports, lies, and legitimate incidents where the target was set up. Eg. People in the targets community are told that the target is crazy, dangerous, a thief, into drugs, a prostitute, pedophile, in trouble for something, needs to be watched. This very flagging in and of itself is capable of creating paranoia, and false interpretation of everyday incidents.
Files will even be produced on the target, shown to neighbours, family, store keepers.
d) Noise and mimicking campaigns.
Disrupting the targets life, sleep with loud power tools, construction, stereos, doors slamming, etc. Talking in public about private things in the targets life. Mimicking actions of the target. Basically letting the target know that they are in the targets life. Daily interferences, nothing that would be too overt to the untrained eye, but psychologically degrading and damaging to the target over time.
e) Everyday life breaks and street theatre.
Flat tires, sleep deprivation, drugging food, putting dirt on targets property. Mass strangers doing things in public to annoy targets. These strangers might get text messaged to be at a specific time and place, and perform a specific action.
It might seem harmless to these Citizen Informants, but it could be causing great psychological trauma for the target. Eg. Blocking targets path, getting ahead of them in line, cutting or boxing them in on the road, saying or doing things to elicit a response from targets. Etc. It’s like the death of a thousand paper cuts. One or two minor incidents will not cause any harm to the target, but over time the target is slowly worn down.
Where does the support or funding for this come from?
Though the systemic harassment that Targeted Individuals refer to as Gang Stalking is immoral and unethical in nature, programs such as this in democratic countries, and none democratic countries have always been funded by the Government. They are the only ones with enough money, coordination, and power to keep such a system in place. These Co-ordinated efforts then join hands with others for this systemic form of control and harassment.
“Ruling the community with an iron fist. “Savvy law enforcement types realized that under the community policing rubric, cops, community groups, local companies, private foundations, citizen informants and federal agencies could form alliances without causing public outcry.” Covert Action Quarterly, summer 1997.”
Ruling the community and total control of our lives is at the heart of this madness….

1. Idea of Flotilla for Hamas Begins to Sink
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu The Sinking Flotilla Project

Israel has threatened sanctions against journalists taking part in the pro-Hamas flotilla, which already has been whittled down following American pressure.

The Government Press Office said Sunday that any journalist on one of the ships scheduled to sail Tuesday for Israel will be barred from entering the country for 10 years.

GPO director Oren Helman wrote the foreign journalists that he flotilla is "a dangerous provocation that is being organized by western and Islamic extremist elements to aid Hamas."

He continued, "I would like to make it clear to you and to the media that you represent, that participation in the flotilla is an intentional violation of Israeli law and is liable to lead to participants being denied entry into the State of Israel for 10 years, to the impounding of their equipment and to additional sanctions.”

It was not clear if Israel would take away the credentials of Amira Hass, the Haaretz journalist who once lived in Gaza, now is based near Ramallah and whose articles routinely castigate Israel. Police arrested her two years ago after she sailed to Gaza on a pro-terrorist boat and last year she was arrested again "for violating the law which forbids residence in an enemy state."

She wrote Sunday, “There are about 50 of us, men and women, due to sail on the Tahrir, whose name is a reference to the Cairo square where protests earlier this year led to the downfall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's regime. Several hundred other activists, from about 20 countries, and several dozen journalists are currently preparing to set sail for Gaza.”

Her hopes for a large flotilla, if any, seem to be dwindling. Greece has postponed permission for a ship to sail following a complaint last week challenging the safety of the ship that is to sail from its ports. Cyprus already has banned the planned sailings to Hamas-controlled Gaza, and Turkey effectively blocked the Mavi Marmara ship from sailing from it ports through bureaucratic delays.

The United States has strongly condemned the flotilla effort that is being staged to challenge Israel’s maritime blockade against Hamas. The United Nations has stated there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and all goods and merchandise can be sent to Gaza overland through Egyptian and Israel crossings.

Israel has imposed the blockade to stop the smuggling of weapons, primarily from Iran and Syria, into Gaza. Hass downplayed the reason Sunday, writing, “The new flotilla has been organized by a coalition of organizations, all of which refuse to accept the Israeli argument that the Gaza Strip is no longer besieged and that if there is a siege, it is only because of the arms Hamas has been smuggling into the territory [emphasis added].”

The Netanyahu government launched a strong diplomatic offensive several weeks ago to try to prevent any chance of a repeat of last year’s clash with Turkish-based terror activists aboard the Mavi Marmara. The terror activists brutally assaulted Navy commandos as they reached the deck after rappeling down ropes from a hovering helicopter.

Nine of the terrorists were killed before the commandos were able to take control of the Mavi Marmara. It later was discovered that the boat was not carrying any humanitarian aid, and Israel confiscated videos that proved that the IHH-terror linked activists were planning for an armed confrontation.

2. Shalit in Hamas Hands for Five Years
by Gil Ronen Shalit Captivity: 5 Full Years

Five years have passed since the savage terrorist organization Hamas took Israeli soldier Sergeant Gilad Shalit captive in a raid on an IDF position near Gaza. Two of Shalit’s fellow soldiers were killed in that raid.

Since then, the terrorist group has held Shalit incommunicado at an unknown location, as a bargaining chip for the release of terrorists held in Israeli jails and as a means of getting attention and conducting endless psychological warfare against the Israeli people.

 

Israelis are notoriously sensitive to the welfare of their captive soldiers and citizens. In the state’s early decades, the government refused as a matter of principle to negotiate with terrorists and preferred to conduct military raids to release hostages. The most famous of these was the Entebbe raid, in which Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s brother Yoni was killed.

 

The Israeli position has softened since the mid-1980s, however, and over the years Israel has proven its willingness to pay for the release of hostages by releasing hundreds of terrorists. In terms of internal Israeli culture, the virile soldierly ethos of the past is derided as "machoism" by the carriers of Political Correctness, who peddle a more "sensitive" and "nurturing" mindset.

 

While Israel formally does not talk to Hamas, negotiations for Shalit’s release have been going on through intermediaries for years. Every few weeks, the media prominently reports “progress” in talks for his release, and these reports are then denied. The result is an emotional roller-coaster for the public.

 

In Jerusalem, Shalit's parents, his brother and his brother's girlfriend chained themselves to one another and to a railing on the side of a small street near the prime minister’s residence.

 

"We are marking five years' anniversary of Gilad's captivity in the Hamas hands and we, as you can see, are also a family in captivity for five years," said Shalit's father Noam in Jerusalem Sunday.

 

In Israel, some 400 activists gathered Sunday at Kerem Shalom, the border crossing where Shalit was captured on June 25, 2006.

 

Over the years, Shalit’s family members have been joined by a well-oiled public relations machine which usually calls for a surrender to Hamas’s demands. To a lesser degree, the Shalit campaign places pressure on Hamas or calls for a toughening of the closure on Gaza. The Israeli press cooperates fully with the PR moves.

 

On the fifth anniversary, Israel's largest news website, Ynet, is broadcasting a live stream from a mock jail cell in which media celebrities, former POWs and others spend an hour each, talking to the cameras and expressing their thoughts and emotions. The Shalit family has announced an SMS petition campaign for their son's release. Previous campaigns have included a march from the Shalits' home in Galilee to Jerusalem, protests by youths, an "army" of cardboard cutouts in Schalit's image outide the Prime Minister's Office and the disruption of the main Independence Day ceremony in Jerusalem. 

 

The leaders, activists and experts opposed to the release of Shalit at the price demanded by Hamas say that such a deal would strengthen Hamas and lead to the deaths of many innocent Israelis as a result.

3. Prisons Service Set to Worsen Terrorists’ Conditions
by Gil Ronen Terror Inmates to Have Less Fun

Lt. Gen. Aharon Franco, Head of the Israel Prisons Service, is quoted Sunday as saying that the IPS intends to deny terrorist – or “”security” – prisoners all of the privileges not mandated by international law. 



Photo taken from an inmate's Facebook account and displayed on Maariv website.

 

“We are currently in a process of assessment vis-à-vis everything to do with the holding of security prisoners,” Franco told the Maariv daily newspaper. “All that is required by the treaties and laws governing prisoners, we will give, but whatever is not – we intend to remove. We are carrying out a legal and intra-organizational examination of the IPS. As the Prime Minister said, we have stopped the process of registering prisoners to academic studies.”

 

The interview was granted following Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's statement that "the party is over" for terror prisoners. 

 

Franco said that the security prisoners, who number almost 6,000, have been receiving more and more privileges over the course of 20 years (Note: the “Oslo peace process” began in 1993 – Ed.).

 

“Every privilege granted until now is currently being reviewed both on the legal plane and on the internal IPS plane. What is not deserved will not be given… We are looking at the subject of the canteen, we are looking into the books, the newspapers, the television, the visits and even room conditions.”



In a 2008 interview in Maariv, an IPS official listed some of the privileges granted to terrorist inmates in Israel. Terrorists are granted three hours a day to wander the premises, he said, where they socialize and play games. The prison provides ping-pong tables, basketball courts, soccer fields and backgammon sets.



Terrorist prisoners receive meat and fish on holidays and are allowed to purchase 1,200 shekels' worth of food each month in the prison canteen, where they can buy more meat, besides soda, candy, cigarettes and similar items. Most prisoners apparently get money to buy luxury items from the terrorist groups they represent, the unnamed official said. They live in "one big summer camp," he summed up glumly.

Franco denied Sunday that prison conditions in Israel are better than in other countries. “Our conditions are not hotel conditions, despite what one might imagine when looking at the photos published in Maariv, as if the prisoners are living in luxurious conditions. If I arranged the plates of ten prisoners who share a single cell on the table, it would look as if they are readying for a feast, but that is not the situation.”

 

Franco noted that there are, on average, two square meters of cell space per prisoner.

 

Franco did not deny that the changes in conditions are connected with an attempt to pressure Hamas regarding Gilad Shalit, but noted that the process of re-examining conditions had begun under his predecessor, Benny Kanyak.

 

Laws have been introduced and committees established in the past, with the purpose of limiting terrorists' conditions. Yet, the party goes on. The main factor working against the worsening of conditions is the belief, within the IPS, that if prisoners riot and the wardens are forced to use violence against them in response, subsequent committees of investigation will not give the wardens any moral or legal support.

4. PA's 4 Preconditions for Talks with Israel Include Support at UN
by Chana Ya'ar PA's 4 Preconditions for Talks

The Palestinian Authority has presented the Quartet of peacekeeping nations (the United States, Russia, United Nations and European Union) with four pre-condition for resuming talks with Israel.

Palestine Liberation Organization chief negotiator Saeb Erekat told Saudi newspaper Al-Watan in an interview Friday the list of demands included the following:

1. A complete halt to all Israeli construction in areas claimed by the PA for the formation of its country. This includes something as simple as adding a balcony to an apartment in the 40-year-old Jerusalem Jewish neighborhoods of Ramat Eshkol or French Hill, for example.

2. Agreement that the 1949 Armistice lines with mutually-agreed land swaps are the basis for talks.

3. European Union support for PA reconciliation efforts between the Fatah faction and the Hamas terrorist organization. This point completely contravenes conditions by the Quartet that freezes all funding and recognition of any PA government that includes Hamas until the terrorist group is willing to formally acknowledge Israel's right to exist, renounce violence and uphold agreements made by prior PA governments.

4. EU support for a PA declaration of statehood in the U.N., and an acknowledgment that such a declaration does not present any contradiction to negotiations with Israel.

Erekat was adamant that only a total halt to Jewish construction in pre-1967 areas of Israel, including Jerusalem, would inspire the PA to resume negotiations.

"The Palestinian stance is very clear and precisely defined," he said. "Negotiations over a two-state solution based on 1967 borders and a complete halt to Israel's settlement activities, particularly in Jerusalem."

According to the report, Quartet envoys are scheduled to meet next Friday to discuss relaunching the talks between Israel and the PA.

Israel froze Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria at the behest of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas for 10 months in the hopes of resuming negotiations, after intense pressure from U.S. President Barack Obama. However, Abbas did not come to the negotiating table until the moratorium was nearly over.

The White House hosted a summit at Annapolis at which Abbas, Jordan's King Abdullah II and Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met together with President Barack Obama and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, but little was accomplished. Post-Annapolis, Abbas and Netanyahu met again, but the PA chairman demanded that Israel extend the construction ban in order to continued the talks, and to include Jerusalem in the moratorium as well.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu refused.

5. Orphaned Survivor of Fogel Terror Attack Inspires French Jews
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu From Itamar to Eiffel Tower

Twelve-year-old Tamar Fogel, the oldest survivor of the terrorist attack on the Fogel family this year, recently joined her Bnei Akiva chapter on a visit to French and Belgium to help strengthen the local Jewish communities.

It was Bnei Akiva that saved Tamar from death at her home community of Itamar, in northern Samaria. She was attending a Bnei Akiva meeting on the tragic Friday night in March while two Palestinian Authority terrorists brutally slaughtered her parents and three of five brothers and sisters in a barbaric attack that shocked Israel and Jews around the world.

She discovered the gruesome scene of the family’s dead bodies when she returned from Bnei Akiva, and she undoubtedly would have been murdered by the terrorists had she been at home.

The terrorists, both in their late teens and from a neighboring Arab village, have been arrested. They said that had they known there were two more sleeping chlldren in the house, they would have murdered them as well.

The visit to Europe was the first time Tamar and her friends from the Itamar chapter of the national religious group had been outside of Israel. They were accompanied by Rabbi Yehuda Ben Yishai, Tamar’s maternal grandfather.



“Many members of the Jewish delegation in France thought they would strengthen the youth of Itamar during their visit, but the opposite was true,” said Yigal Klein, director of counselors for Bnei Akiva.

“The Itamar delegation demonstrated faith and spiritual strength that surprised many of the adults and youth whom they met” in France and Belgium,” he added. “It was amazing to see how the community welcomed Rav Ben Yishai with a warm embrace, sorrow and pain. But as soon as Rabbi Ben Yishai began to speak, you could see how he strengthened the community.”

Running on a tight schedule, the youth from Itamar were interviewed on French radio and visited the Jewish communities of Marseilles and Paris, including several Jewish schools.

The French and Israeli groups overcame the language barrier by using body and sign language as well as songs known to many Jews, such as Am Yisrael Chai.

The French youth, who saw news of the terrorist attack in Itamar on local television, were hesitant to speak at first, but the ice was quickly broken as the Itamar group showed “it did not visit as if it were distant from them but rather from a place of love and with a loving embrace” said Pinchas Michaeli, the counselor of the Bnei Akiva group in Itamar.

Each member of the Itamar group told a personal story, and a film, prepared in Israel, showed the French and Belgian Jews what life is like in the community, both before and after the terrorist attack.

Communities in Samaria are working on twinning with Bnei Akiva chapters abroad, according to Shomron (Samaria) Liaison director David Ha'Ivri

6. More Missiles Moving into Lebanon
by Chana Ya'ar More Missiles Move to Lebanon

Hundreds of missiles have been moved into Lebanon from Syria in the past several weeks, according to a report published Saturday in the French newspaper Le Figaro.

A "Western expert" quoted in the report described trucks ferrying long-range Iranian missiles to Hizbullah bases in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, just over the border.

Among the ordnance were Fajr 4, Fajr 3 and Zilzal missiles, allegedly removed by Hizbullah from Syria due to fears the regime of President Bashar al-Assad may fall.

According to the report, Hizbullah is unsure it would enjoy the same strong support under a new government that it has under the Assad regime, where it was able to maintain its own storage depots.

The terrorist organization is also fearful that Israel may bomb its convoys as they transport the missiles to Lebanon, the source told the French newspaper. Unnamed intelligence agencies have been monitoring the progress of the convoys, which are camouflaged.

Hundreds of Syrians, some with gunshot wounds,also  crossed into neighboring Lebanon over the weekend. The human traffic, however, arrived in search of refuge from the growing government crackdown in their homeland, a Lebanese security official said Saturday. Other Syrians marched in a funeral for victims of the crackdown outside Damascus, demanding Assad's ouster from power.

Most refugees arriving at the Lebanese border came after Syrian security forces opened fire on protesters in anti-regime demonstrations across Syria on Friday. Syrian activists said 20 people were killed, including two children aged 12 and 13.

7. Arab Driver Runs Down, Kills Jewish Teenager in Samaria
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu PA Driver Runs Over Jew

Police have arrested an Arab driver who ran over and killed a Jewish teenage in Samaria Saturday night. The death apparently was not intentional, but there are conflicting media versions whether the driver stopped his car to help the victim or whether he fled the scene and later was apprehended.

The victim was 14-yearold Maayan Ushpazi, who was killed as he and two friends ran across Highway 60 at the entrance to the community of Eli in northern Samaria.

The road is the main north-south thoroughfare connecting the Lower Galilee with Judea and Samaria and Be’er Sheva.

The twisty and hilly road is one of the most dangerous highways in the country, largely due to poor markings, poor lighting, Arab pedestrians who walk on the road at night while wearing dark clothing, and reckless driving.

Israeli police rarely patrol the highway, but authorities at checkpoints often catch Arab drivers with stolen vehicles, driving without vehicle registration and without licenses.

8. No Jews to be Allowed on Delta-Saudi Air Line Flights
by Fern Sidman, INN NY Correspondent No Jews on Delta-Saudi Air

According to a Religion News Service report, "Jews and Israelis, or passengers carrying any non-Islamic article of faith, will not be able to fly code-share flights from the U.S. to Saudi Arabia under Delta Air Line's new partnership with Saudi Arabian Airlines that is set to begin in 2012."

Back in January of this year, Delta announced that it had struck a deal with the Saudi Arabian airline to join its "SkyTeam" network in 2012 but the details of the deal's implications have only recently been revealed. The Saudi airline is SkyTeam's first member from the Middle East.

According to the dictates of Sharia law by which Saudi Arabia is governed, the kingdom has strict rules for entry. It  prohibits anyone with an Israeli stamp in their passport from entering the country, even in transit. There are indications that passengers with Jewish sounding names have been denied visas.

 

Citizens of every country are mandated to obtain visas and sponsors required for entry, but Jews cannot obtain them. Women traveling alone or with other women must be dressed in traditional Islamic garb that comports with Saudi standards of modesty and are prohibited from entering the country without a male chaperone who must meet them at the airport. Moreover, Both Jewish and Christian bibles and non-Islamic religious items may be confiscated upon arrival at the airport.

 

On June 23rd, Delta issued a statement to Religion News Service saying, it "does not discriminate, nor do we condone discrimination against any protected class of passenger in regards to age, race, nationality, religion, or gender", but did not deny the new policy and insisted that it has no control over who may fly to Saudi Arabia.



"Delta must also comply with all applicable laws in every country it serves," adding that passengers are responsible for obtaining the necessary travel documents required for entry. "If a passenger travels without proper documents, the passenger may be denied entry into that country and our airline may be fined," the statement said.

 

Since Delta is a United States carrier, the new policy has created a firestorm of controversy. Religion News Service reported that Colby M. May, senior counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, a conservative legal group founded by religious broadcaster Pat Robertson, said his office is trying to determine if the agreement contravenes U.S. law.

 

"The very idea that there is a common carrier airline service that would deny an American citizen in America access to their services because they are Jewish or have religious items such as a yarmulke, a cross or a priestly collar, is deeply disturbing," May said, adding that, "they have not responded in a way that answers the question. Hopefully they'll do so."

 

Expressing indignation at the Delta policy were representatives of American Jewish organizations. Kenneth Bandler, a spokesman for the American Jewish Committee said, "Saudi Arabia, a U.S. ally, should be strongly condemned for its despicable discrimination against Jews. For an American company, our nation's values should trump narrow business interests. Delta should be the first to reject Saudi airlines as a SkyTeam member."



Dan Diker, newly elected secretary general of the World Jewish Congress, said he hoped "Delta will not be complicit with what appears to be a demonstrably anti-Semitic and racist policy by Saudi Arabian Airlines."

From Jolinda Hackett, your Guide to Vegetarian Food

Cookouts, Veggie Style!
Well, I'm not usually one to toot my own horn, but since the Fourth of July is rapidly approaching, I suppose I should probably share with everyone about my new vegetarian barbecue book Cookouts, Veggie Style! It was incredibly fun (and tasty!) to experiment with just about everything you can imagine over the coals. I grilled up lots of polenta, quesadillas, seitan, tofu, and every veggie under the sun from Jerusalem artichokes to asparagus and plenty of fruits too (grilled mango....yum!). There's an entire chapter devoted to desserts on the grill, including plenty of chocolate treats.

Deutschlands Fußballfrauen mit einem Sieg in die Weltmeisterschaft gestartet
Mit einem Zittersieg sind Deutschlands Fußballfrauen in die Weltmeisterschaft gestartet. Das Team von Bundestrainerin Silvia Neid gewann knapp gegen Kanada mit 2:1. Zuvor hatte Bundespräsident Christian Wulff die Frauenfußball-Weltmeisterschaft offiziell eröffnet. Er freue sich auf die 16 besten Frauen-Mannschaften der Welt und auf spannende und faire Spiele, sagte Wulff unter dem Jubel der fast 74.000 Zuschauer im ausverkauften Berliner Olympiastadion und im Beisein von Kanzlerin Angela Merkel und dem Präsidenten des Fußball-Weltverbandes FIFA, Joseph Blatter. Die erste Partie der WM hatte Frankreich zuvor in Sinsheim 1:0 gegen Nigeria gewonnen. Das Finale findet am 17. Juli in Frankfurt am Main statt.

Schäuble: Müssen in Griechenland-Krise auf alles vorbereitet sein
Die Staaten der Euro-Zone treffen bereits Vorsorge für den Fall einer Staatspleite des hoch verschuldeten Griechenlands. Bundesfinanzminister Wolfgang Schäuble sagte der "Bild am Sonntag", es werde zwar alles darangesetzt, eine Zuspitzung der europäischen Schuldenkrise zu verhindern, man müsse aber gleichzeitig auf alles vorbereitet sein. Der CDU-Politiker hält die Auswirkungen der Griechenland-Krise auch im Falle einer Staatspleite aber für beherrschbar. Der Bundesverband deutscher Banken sieht die von der Politik geforderte Beteiligung privater Gläubiger an dem geplanten neuen Rettungspaket zwiespältig. Eine Bank könne nicht einfach auf Forderungen verzichten und das Geld der Sparer und Eigentümer aufs Spiel setzen, sagte Hauptgeschäftsführer Michael Kemmer dem Berliner "Tagesspiegel". - Die Europäische Union hatte für ihren zweiten Rettungsversuch Griechenlands einen strikten Sparkurs verlangt. Dieser soll bis spätestens Dienstag vom Parlament verabschiedet werden, in dem die regierenden Sozialisten lediglich über eine knappe Mehrheit verfügen. Aus Protest gegen die Sparpolitik haben die Gewerkschaften für Dienstag und Mittwoch erneut zu landesweiten Streiks aufgerufen.

China lässt Menschenrechtsaktivisten Hu Jia frei
Einen Tag vor dem Deutschland-Besuch von Chinas Regierungschef Wen Jiabao hat die Volksrepublik den bekannten Menschenrechtsaktivisten Hu Jia freigelassen. Der 37-Jährige wurde nach Verbüßung seiner mehr als dreijährigen Haftstrafe entlassen. Hu war unmittelbar vor den Olympischen Spielen in Peking im April 2008 wegen -wie es hieß- "Untergrabung der Staatsgewalt" zu gut drei Jahren Haft verurteilt worden. Er hatte zuvor immer wieder auf seinem Blog sowie in E-Mails und Interviews mit ausländischen Journalisten Menschenrechtsverstöße in China angeprangert. Im Dezember 2008 erhielt er für seinen Einsatz für Bürgerrechte vom Europaparlament den Sacharow-Preis für Meinungsfreiheit. Hus Freilassung erfolgte vier Tage, nachdem der Künstler und Regierungskritiker Ai Weiwei aus der Polizeihaft entlassen worden war. Es wird vermutet, dass Hu ähnlich wie viele andere Aktivisten unter Hausarrest gestellt wird. - Für die Europäische Union begrüßte die Außenbeauftragte Catherine Ashton die Freilassung. Entscheidend sei jetzt, wie Hu weiter behandelt werde, sagte ihr Sprecher in Brüssel der Nachrichtenagentur AFP. Die EU hoffe, dass er alle seine Rechte zurückbekomme.
^^^
Zuma: NATO darf Gaddafi nicht töten
Der südafrikanische Präsident Jacob Zuma hat die NATO-Angriffe in Libyen erneut scharf kritisiert und vor einer Ermordung von Machthaber Muammar al-Gaddafi gewarnt. Die UN-Resolution zu Libyen ermächtige nicht zu einem Regimewechsel oder einer Ermordung, betonte Zuma in Pretoria bei einem Treffen mit dem Libyenausschuss der Afrikanischen Union (AU). Ziel der UN-Resolution sei der Schutz der Zivilbevölkerung gewesen. Die andauernde Bombardierung gefährde aber die Bemühungen für eine friedliche Lösung und Stabilität in Libyen, so der Präsident Südafrikas, das als nichtständiges Mitglied des UN-Sicherheitsrates für die Libyenresolution gestimmt hatte. - An dem Treffen in Südafrika nahmen die Präsidenten Mauretaniens, Ugandas und Malis sowie der Außenminister Kongos teil. Gaddafi verzichtete unterdessen auf die Teilnahme an dem Vermittlungstreffen. Der Libyenausschuss will einen neuen Plan für Libyen vorbereiten, der auf der demnächst anstehenden Generalversammlung der AU in Äquatorial-Guinea beschlossen werden soll.
^^^
Israel warnt Journalisten vor Begleitung von Schiffen nach Gaza
Israel hat ausländische Journalisten davor gewarnt, an Bord von Hilfsgüterschiffen für den Gazastreifen zu gehen. Bei Zuwiderhandlung dürften sie zehn Jahre lang nicht mehr nach Israel einreisen, teilte die Regierung mit. Der Verband der ausländischen Presse in Jerusalem kritisierte umgehend diese Ankündigung. Journalisten sollte es möglich sein, ihrer Arbeit ohne Drohungen und Einschüchterungen nachzukommen. Die israelische Regierung wurde aufgefordert, die Entscheidung umgehend zurückzunehmen. Pro-palästinensische Aktivisten hatten angekündigt, dass in den nächsten Tagen Schiffe mit Hilfsgütern für den Gazastreifen von europäischen Häfen auslaufen würden. Vor gut einem Jahr waren bei einer Militäraktion gegen einen solchen Konvoi neun Türken getötet worden. Israel war weltweit dafür kritisiert worden.
^^^
Brasilianer wird FAO-Chef
Der Brasilianer José Graziano da Silva ist zum neuen Chef der UN-Organisation für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft (FAO) gewählt worden. Der frühere brasilianische Minister für Lebensmittelsicherheit erhielt bei der Wahl 92 Stimmen. Sein Herausforderer in der Stichwahl, der frühere spanische Außenminister Miguel Angel Moratinos, kam auf 88 Stimmen. Vier weitere Kandidaten waren bereits in der ersten Wahlrunde ausgeschieden. Da Silva wird Nachfolger des Senegalesen Jacques Diouf, der die Organisation 17 Jahre lang geführt hatte. - Da Silva ist der erste Südamerikaner, der die UN-Organisation zum Kampf gegen den Hunger leiten wird.- Der 61-jährige Wirtschaftsprofessor widmete seine gesamte bisherige Karriere der Lebensmittelsicherheit, der Landwirtschaft und der ländlichen Entwicklung. Seit 2006 vertrat er Lateinamerika und die Karibik bei der FAO und war zudem bereits stellvertretender Generaldirektor der Organisation.

^^^
Ukraine stoppt Tschernobyl-Reisen für Touristen
Die Reisen von Touristen in das nach der Atomkatastrophe von Tschernobyl vor 25 Jahren verstrahlte Gebiet sind vorerst gestoppt. Ein Gericht prüfe derzeit die Zulässigkeit solcher Reisen, sagte der Tourismusanbieter Arseni Finberg der Nachrichtenagentur dpa in Kiew. Demnach hat die Generalstaatsanwaltschaft Protest eingelegt gegen die Entscheidung des ukrainischen Zivilschutzministeriums, die 30-Kilometer-Sperrzone auch für den Massentourismus zu öffnen. Die Reise in das atomar verseuchte Strahlengebiet soll auch den Gästen der Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2012 angeboten werden. Die Region um Tschernobyl war zum Jahresbeginn für den Tourismus freigegeben worden. Die Nachfrage soll groß sein.
^^^
Demonstranten umzingeln Atomkraftwerk Fessenheim
Tausende Atomkraftgegner haben um das umstrittene französische Atomkraftwerk Fessenheim im Elsass eine Menschenkette gebildet und die sofortige Abschaltung der Anlage gefordert. Die Organisatoren sprachen von 5000 bis 10.000 Teilnehmern. Die französische Atomaufsicht ASN will nach jüngsten Presseinformationen grünes Licht für eine Verlängerung des Betriebs von Reaktorblock 1 geben. Die französische Umweltministerin Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet betonte dagegen, es sei noch keine Entscheidung gefallen. - Die Atomkraftgegner dringen darauf, das älteste Atomkraftwerk in Frankreich endgültig abzuschalten. Es ist ihrer Ansicht nach altersschwach und nicht ausreichend gegen Erdbeben gesichert. Immer mehr Gemeinden in Frankreich, Deutschland und der Schweiz fordern ebenfalls ein Aus für Fessenheim.

Helgoländer stimmen gegen Vergrößerung der Nordseeinsel
Die seit einer Sturmflut geteilte Nordseeinsel Helgoland wird weiter aus Hauptinsel und vorgelagerter Düne bestehen. In einem Bürgerentscheid lehnten 54,7 Prozent der Bewohner von Deutschlands einziger Hochseeinsel eine mögliche Landverbindung ab. 45,3 Prozent stimmten für ein solches Vorhaben. Die Wahlbeteiligung lag bei über 81 Prozent. Das Projekt sah vor, eine große Landbrücke zwischen der Hauptinsel und der einen Kilometer entfernten Badedüne mit Sand aufzuschütten und damit beide Inseln zu verbinden. Durch die Flächenerweiterung sollten neue Hotels und Wohnungen geschaffen werden, um die Wirtschaft auf der mit 1300 Menschen bewohnten Insel zu beleben. 
^^^
"Stuttgart 21" soll Stresstest bestanden haben
Das umstrittene Milliarden-Bahnprojekt "Stuttgart 21" hat den sogenannten Stresstest zur Leistungsfähigkeit des künftigen Bahnhofs bestanden. Das erfuhren Nachrichtenagenturen aus dem Umfeld der Deutschen Bahn AG. Demnach habe die Betriebssimulation am Computer ergeben, dass der geplante unterirdische Bahnhof auch ohne kostspielige Erweiterungen in der Spitzenzeit 30 Prozent mehr leisten könne als der jetzige Kopfbahnhof. Das Ergebnis der Bahn wird noch von einem unabhängigen Gutachter geprüft und soll am 14. Juli öffentlich präsentiert werden. Den Stresstest hatten Projektbefürworter und -gegner im Schlichtungsverfahren vereinbart. - Seit Jahren gibt es in Stuttgart Streit über das rund vier Milliarden Euro teure Projekt, den bestehenden Kopfbahnhof in einen unterirdischen Durchgangsbahnhof umzubauen.
^^^
Loveparade-Denkmal in Duisburg eingeweiht
Knapp ein Jahr nach dem Loveparade-Unglück in Duisburg ist ein Denkmal für die 21 Toten und Hunderten Verletzen eingeweiht worden. Duisburgs Alt-Oberbürgermeister Josef Krings hielt vor rund 300 Teilnehmern und Angehörigen die Einweihungsrede für die über zehn Tonnen schwere Stahlskulptur des Duisburger Künstlers Gerhard Losemann, die nur wenige Meter entfernt von der damaligen Unglücksstelle steht. Nach Angaben der Bürgerinitiative "Spendentrauermarsch" fand die Einweihung schon vier Wochen vor dem Jahrestag auf Wunsch der Angehörigen der Opfer statt. - Am 24. Juli 2010 waren 21 junge Menschen während der Techno-Parade in Duisburg ums Leben gekommen. Mehrere hundert Teilnehmer erlitten teils schwere Verletzungen. Über die Verantwortung für das Unglück wird bis heute gestritten.
^^^
Formel 1: Vettel gewinnt Großen Preis von Europa

TomDispatch.com: A Regular Antidote to the Mainstream Media
June 26, 2011
Tomgram: Michael Klare, The Energy Landscape of 2041
Let’s see: today, it’s a story about rising sea levels.  Now, close your eyes, take a few seconds, and try to imagine what word or words could possibly go with such a story.

Time’s up, and if “faster,” “far faster,” “ fastest,” or “ unprecedented” didn’t come to mind, then the odds are that you’re not actually living on planet Earth in the year 2011.  Yes, a new study came out in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that measures sea-level rise over the last 2,000 years and -- don’t be shocked -- it’s never risen faster than now.

Earlier in the week, there was that report on the state of the oceans produced by a panel of leading marine scientists.  Now, close your eyes and try again.  Really, this should be easy.  Just look at the previous paragraph and choose “ unprecedented,” and this time pair it with “loss of species comparable to the great mass extinctions of prehistory,” or pick “far faster” (as in “the seas are degenerating far faster than anyone has predicted”), or for a change of pace, how about “more quickly” as in “ more quickly than had been predicted” as the “world’s oceans move into ‘extinction’ phase.”

Or consider a third story: arctic melting.  This time you’re 100% correct!  It’s “ faster” again (as in “than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change forecasts” of 2007).  But don’t let me bore you.  I won’t even mention the burning southwest, or Arizona’s Wallow fire, “ the largest in state history,” or Texas’s “ unprecedented wildfire season” (now “getting worse”), or the residents of Minot, North Dakota, abandoning their city to “ unprecedented” floods, part of a deluge in the northern U.S. that is “ unprecedented in modern times.”

It’s just superlatives and records all the way, and all thanks to those globally rising “ record” temperatures and all those burning fossil fuels emitting “record” levels of greenhouse gases (“ worst ever” in 2010) that so many governments, ours at the very top of the list, are basically ducking.  Now, multiply those fabulous adjectives and superlative events -- whether melting, dying, rising, or burning -- and you’re heading toward the world of 2041, the one that TomDispatch energy expert and author of Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet Michael Klare writes about today.  It's a world where if we haven't kicked our fossil-fuel habit, we won’t have superlatives strong enough to describe it. Tom
The New Thirty Years’ War
Winners and Losers in the Great Global Energy Struggle to Come

By Michael T. Klare
A 30-year war for energy preeminence?  You wouldn’t wish it even on a desperate planet.  But that’s where we’re headed and there’s no turning back.
From 1618 to 1648, Europe was engulfed in a series of intensely brutal conflicts known collectively as the Thirty Years’ War. It was, in part, a struggle between an imperial system of governance and the emerging nation-state.  Indeed, many historians believe that the modern international system of nation-states was crystallized in the Treaty of Westphalia of 1648, which finally ended the fighting.
Think of us today as embarking on a new Thirty Years’ War.  It may not result in as much bloodshed as that of the 1600s, though bloodshed there will be, but it will prove no less momentous for the future of the planet.  Over the coming decades, we will be embroiled at a global level in a succeed-or-perish contest among the major forms of energy, the corporations which supply them, and the countries that run on them.  The question will be: Which will dominate the world’s energy supply in the second half of the twenty-first century?  The winners will determine how -- and how badly -- we live, work, and play in those not-so-distant decades, and will profit enormously as a result.  The losers will be cast aside and dismembered.
Why 30 years?  Because that’s how long it will take for experimental energy systems like hydrogen power, cellulosic ethanol, wave power, algae fuel, and advanced nuclear reactors to make it from the laboratory to full-scale industrial development.  Some of these systems (as well, undoubtedly, as others not yet on our radar screens) will survive the winnowing process.  Some will not.  And there is little way to predict how it will go at this stage in the game.  At the same time, the use of existing fuels like oil and coal, which spew carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, is likely to plummet, thanks both to diminished supplies and rising concerns over the growing dangers of carbon emissions.

Refugees United Brasil



Posted: 26 Jun 2011 01:28 PM PDT
Fonte: Euronews

A revolta na Síria está a inflamar as relações com os, até agora, aliados turcos, num momento em que dezenas de milhares de sírios procuraram refúgio do outro lado da fronteira.
O acolhimento de Ancara foi celebrado hoje na Jordânia por dezenas de manifestantes frente à embaixa turca em Amã.
“Estamos aqui para mostrar a nossa gratidão ao governo turco e ao primeiro-ministro Erdogan, pela forma como tem acolhido os refugiados”, afirma uma manifestante.
Mas, na fronteira dos dois países, a tensão encontra-se ao rubro, depois de Damasco ter iniciado operações militares a poucos quilómetros do território turco, alegadamente para “combater grupos terroristas” na região.
Segundo a oposição síria, as manobras visam esmagar a revolta na região fronteiriça, depois de uma rebelião da polícia local ter sido reprimida a balas reais pelo exército.
O ministro dos Negócios Estrangeiros da Turquia afirmou estar a acompanhar de perto as manobras militares, que segundo uma fonte em Damasco, deverão prosseguir até ao final da semana.
O último discurso do presidente sírio, Bashar Al-Assad aumentou as fricções entre os dois países, depois de Ancara ter exigido o fim da repressão contra os civis e o início de reformas, uma “ingerência inaceitável”, para Damasco.

From Kyle Phillips, your Guide to Italian Food
It seemed much hotter today that the car thermometer said -- felt like the high 30s (high 90s F) when it was actually just 32, which is barely 90. Must have been the humidity.

Wonderfully refreshing!
