According to a statement delivered by his emissary to a Middle Eastern audience, the current head of the United Nations insists that Jerusalem serve as a capital city for two countries: Israel and Palestinian Union.
For Muslims, Jews and Christians, for Israelis and Palestinians, and for peoples around the world, Jerusalem represents a place of faith and longing, a symbol of aspirations for nationhood, and a sacred space that must be open to all. As we are constantly reminded, events in Jerusalem can undermine trust on the ground and be felt in distant lands. It is for this reason that we must ensure that the holy city becomes a true symbol of peace, bringing people together and marking a new, more positive era for the whole region.
As has long been agreed between Israelis and the Palestinians, Jerusalem is a core issue that must be resolved through negotiations, along with all other core issues. The international community does not recognize Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem, which remains part of the occupied Palestinian territory subject to the terms of the Fourth Geneva Convention. If peace is to be achieved, the goal must be for Jerusalem to be the capital of two States living side-by-side in peace and security, with arrangements for the holy sites acceptable to all. This is the road to the fulfillment of both the vision of Security Council resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, and the yearning for peace of people from all over the world.

GAO: Partial shutdown of internet may be neccesary.
Concerns exist that a more severe pandemic outbreak than 2009’s could cause large numbers of people staying home to increase their Internet use and overwhelm Internet providers’ network capacities. Such network congestion could prevent staff from broker-dealers and other securities market participants from teleworking during a pandemic. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is responsible for ensuring that critical telecommunications infrastructure is protected.
GAO was asked to examine a pandemic’s impact on Internet congestion and what actions can be and are being taken to address it, the adequacy of securities market organizations’ pandemic plans, and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) oversight of these efforts. GAO reviewed relevant studies, regulatory guidance and examinations, interviewed telecommunications providers and financial market participants, and analyzed pandemic plans for seven critical market organizations.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends DHS begin planning to address Internet congestion and SEC better review market participants’ plans. SEC agreed. DHS agreed to address potential congestion for national security and emergency communications, but not more broadly. GAO believes DHS should do more to address potential Internet congestion.
In a severe pandemic, governments may close schools, shut down public transportation systems, and ban public gatherings such as concerts or sporting events. In such scenarios, many more people than usual may be at home during the day, and Internet use in residential neighborhoods could increase significantly as a result of people seeking news, entertainment, or social contact from home computers. Concerns have been raised that this additional traffic could lead to congestion on the Internet that would significantly affect businesses in local neighborhoods, such as small doctors' offices or business employees attempting to telework by connecting to their employers' enterprise networks.

Ok, so buisness already run on servers, the same people who they are worried about overloading the system would be on the net at work or via mobile phones or appliances. So what could be the real reason for this, if not to stem the flow of info? Many in times of crisis would depend on up to the minute info supplied by the net. Disrupting this flow seems to be the one goal of this proposal.
Well, here it is October 30th and it appears that there is no retirement announcement from Dr. Solana -- at least yet.
Instead, the EU Council of Ministers (of which he is Secretary General among his MANY hats) released a statement about a forthcoming SUMMIT between EU and USA to be held in Washington between the 6 month Swedish EU presidency with JAVIER SOLANA and the President of the United States BARACK OBAMA with HILLARY CLINTON.

Delegations will find attached the Presidency Conclusions of the Brussels European Council (29/30 October 2009).
________________________
Stressing that the Union needs rapid clarity on its institutional set up in order to be able to function effectively, the European Council looked forward to the rapid completion of the ratification process so that the Treaty enters into force by the end of the year. The European Council established the position of the EU with regards to the forthcoming Copenhagen Conference on climate change, which will allow the EU to play a constructive role during the final phase of the negotiation, particularly on key issues such as financing, technology transfer, adaptation, mitigation and good governance. The European Council took stock of the economic, financial and employment situation, stressing in particular the need to prepare a coordinated strategy for exiting from broad-based stimulus policies when recovery is secured. It adopted the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, which constitutes an integrated framework to address common challenges. It took stock of progress made on implementing measures regarding illegal immigration and called for further efforts to be made, in particular as concerns the enhancement of FRONTEX. Finally, the European Council addressed the situation in Afghanistan/Pakistan.
1.The European Council welcomes the ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon by Germany, Ireland and Poland, which means that it has now been approved by the people or the parliaments of all 27 Member States.
This goes on to talk about climate change and many other issues.

EU leaders aim to put treaty in place by 1 December
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The EU's new set of institutional rules may come into force in just over a month, ending a marathon stretch of treaty-making that took eight years, included four referendums and resulted in an ungainly text littered with footnotes, protocols and opt-outs.
"The Lisbon Treaty will enter into force doubtless as early as December 1," French President Nicolas Sarkozy said after a summit of EU leaders on Friday (30 October).
The breakthrough came after member states managed to agree to a last-minute demand by Czech President Vaclav Klaus.
The deal - exempting Prague from a rights charter in the treaty - paves the way for Mr Klaus to sign the pact, a move that will allow it to go into force across the 27 member states of the European Union.
The Czech president can only sign after 3 November, the day when the Czech constitutional court is due to give its verdict on whether Lisbon is compatible with national law. The ruling is widely expected to come out in favour of the treaty, with a similar - though narrower - case also going the treaty's way last year.
Once the treaty-opposing Czech president puts pen to paper - and EU leaders remain wary of his unpredictability - the race to fill the posts created by the treaty will begin in earnest. The president of the European Council and the foreign minister - two new jobs - as well as the line up of the next European Commission are set to be decided at an extraordinary summit in November.
Shrugs and speculation
The new posts have been the subject of frenzied speculation in the media in the run-up to the October summit and in the corridors during the summit itself.
Although there is an impatience to move ahead with nominations, EU leaders effectively agreed to gag themselves until the Czech situation is clear.
But heavy hints, eloquent shrugs and pregnant silences by leaders over the last two days would appear to indicate that the post of foreign minister should go to a socialist and that British ex-prime minister Tony Blair, long talked about as the first possible EU president, will not get the job.
For his part, Mr Sarkozy said he was in "agreement" with his German counterpart Angela Merkel that they would "have the same vision and support the same candidate" for the presidency post.
The two countries acting together are likely to determine whether the job will be largely administrative or carry real international clout.
But even if the date line for the treaty appears to be clearer, things are less certain for the European Commission, whose current mandate runs out on 31 October. From 1 November onwards it will have caretaker status, only able to execute day-to-day affairs.
The new commission is unlikely to be put into place before January next year, as each commissioner will be subject to a hearing in parliament to assess their suitability for the post. It is not out of the question that there will be controversy over one or other candidate, which could delay the process. Once this procedure is finished, the entire college needs to be approved by parliament in a plenary session.

Dear Dorothy,
I am confused about this, I do not mean to cause offence and am seeking to understand here.
Having taken your advice, and watched speeches given by the Rebbe Schneerson, I would like to ask your understanding and interpretation of his comments in this short video of him called, 'It's in Your Hands'.
Towards the end of the video, he says that,
'But it is the merit of the Jewish people - and not just their merit, but their greatness - that God tells them: Although I ordered the moon to be diminished,and the lunar year to be shorter than the solar year, the ability to rectify this is given to the Jewish people, to the Rabbinic Court - even if they make a mistake in doing so - because of their intrinsic greatness, because the soul-root of a Jew is higher than any other creation, which is subject to time and space. As the Zohar states: "The Jewish people and God, - through Torah - are literally one."
http://tinyurl.com/ya3trwu
I would be grateful if you could explain how Rebbe Schneerson's assertion that, 'the soul-root of a Jew is higher than any other creation, which is subject to time and space' differs from Helena Blavatsky's and Alice Bailey's concept of the root-race.
I find it difficult to see, especially in context of the whole video, that this is not gnostic teaching, and racist.
I stress that I may have misunderstood here, and I also stress that I under no circumstances attribute the beliefs Rebbe Schneerson seems to me to be asserting here to all Jews. I do ont think every gentile is a follower of Madame Blavatsky's teachings either, I think that Bill Cooper puts it very well here:
'Bill Cooper - It's not the Jews'

Here is an article that relates to Dorothy's article posted by Constance and entitled SOROS: CHINA SHOULD LEAD NEW WORLD ORDER.
It begs the question concerning how Israel might be effected.
ANOTHER MILESTONE IN THE DEMISE OF THE DOLLAR
The headline appears more scary than it actually is, but it is still a significant step down the road.
"In the most profound financial change in recent Middle East history, Gulf Arabs are planning – along with China, Russia, Japan and France – to end dollar dealings for oil, moving instead to a basket of currencies including the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan, the euro, gold and a new, unified currency planned for nations in the Gulf Co-operation Council, including Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar.
Secret meetings have already been held by finance ministers and central bank governors in Russia, China, Japan and Brazil to work on the scheme, which will mean that oil will no longer be priced in dollars.
The plans, confirmed to The Independent by both Gulf Arab and Chinese banking sources in Hong Kong, may help to explain the sudden rise in gold prices, but it also augurs an extraordinary transition from dollar markets within nine years."
Given the statements that Russia and China have been making all year long, this isn't much of a surprise. The only real concrete change is that the OPEC nations and Japan have gone past theoretical talk and engaged in high level meetings.
Russia and China are heavyweights, but they absolutely have to have the OPEC nations on board for this to be effective. Iran and Venezuela have been moving towards this for years, but getting the UAE on board suddenly makes this serious.
We also see that the Japanese election outcomes are having immediate effects.
"The Americans, who are aware the meetings have taken place – although they have not discovered the details – are sure to fight this international cabal which will include hitherto loyal allies Japan and the Gulf Arabs. Against the background to these currency meetings, Sun Bigan, China's former special envoy to the Middle East, has warned there is a risk of deepening divisions between China and the US over influence and oil in the Middle East. "Bilateral quarrels and clashes are unavoidable," he told the Asia and Africa Review. "We cannot lower vigilance against hostility in the Middle East over energy interests and security."
This sounds like a dangerous prediction of a future economic war between the US and China over Middle East oil – yet again turning the region's conflicts into a battle for great power supremacy. China uses more oil incrementally than the US because its growth is less energy efficient. The transitional currency in the move away from dollars, according to Chinese banking sources, may well be gold.
The chances of there being an actual economic war between America and China are small. While China would suffer, America would lose far more. That's how it always is when a debtor and creditor do battle.
It's very interesting that gold would be considered a transitional currency. If this is true you can bet that the IMF's recent plan to sell 403 tonnes of gold will get quickly snatched up by Asian central banks. It'll never even hit the market. Also, two of the largest gold producers in the world today are Russia and China. You can bet that their gold exports will quickly dry up.
So what exactly would it mean for the world's reserve currency to be priced in oil rather than dollars? ZeroHedge uncovered 30 year old documents that addressed that very question. These documents were recently declassified from the Carter Administration....read more...

Islamized State Department: Israel Intolerant Society
There is an all-out attack on Israel being perpetrated by Obama's America. No country is more open, equal, and democratic in the Middle East and the world (save America B.O. [before Obama]) than Israel.
This is another Islamic libel against the Jews. There is no pluralism in islamic countries. No freedom of religion. Honor Killings, clitorectomies, forced marriages, child marriages, Christian persecutions, beheadings, the evil list is endless. This is shameful.
U.S. State Department: Israel Intolerant Society
The 2009 International Religious Freedom Report issued by the U.S. State Department says Israel is not a tolerant society. The report, issued last week, accuses Israel of "governmental and legal discrimination against non-Jews and non-Orthodox streams of Judaism." It charges that "Some individuals and groups committed abusive and discriminatory practices against Israeli-Arab Muslims, evangelical Christians, and Messianic Jews at the same elevated level." Its criticism includes citing the case of three Messianic Jews being denied citizenship under the Right of Return. It also charged that, "While the law safeguards the 'holy places of all religions,' the Government provides significantly greater levels of legal protection and government resources to Jewish holy places than to those of other religious groups and to Orthodox Jews over non-Orthodox Jews."
