Yusuf Islam Welcome in Palestine

American singer Yusuf Islam attends the "Ivor Novello Awards" at Grosvenor House in London on May 24, 2007.

Yusuf Islam was invited to perform at an event celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Peres Center for Peace and had received a personal invitation from Jewish President Shimon Peres.

While I do not understand the actual reason Yusuf Islam is not being accepted in Palestine, HRM Deborah of Palestine does give him permission and it was kind of Jewish President Peres to invite him; but unless something is explained to me otherwise, Islam may come.

As to any problems or fears on entering the country, accept for our current Canaanite terrorist problem; I am sorry to say, otherwise I can not foresee any problem.

As to Yusuf Islam personally, while I have very much enjoyed his Nasheed’s, I also understand he is a good man and does believe in charity, to peace for all people. I have followed Yusuf Islam’s career the best I could, since I was a teenager.

The song I enjoyed the most of Yusuf Islam’s when I was a teenager was called, “Oh Very Young” and I still enjoy it even today; probably because of it’s classical overtones and appreciate music such as this, coming from such a gifted man.

As to the last few years, of Yusuf Islam being subjected to Islamophobia and remarks that is clearly not him, especially from the US; I have always found to be appalling.

Nevertheless, anytime Yusuf Islam wishes to come to Palestine, he is very welcome to do so, unless like I said, unless someone appropriately tells me different; because of Yusuf Islam's mistreatment outside of Palestine. With him having been subjected to Islamophobia, in the US, for I know, I do not have any problem; with the good people in my home country which I appreciate there thoughtful judgement very much.

This makes me think of one of those times when people at home can not see me and may forget sometimes, how much I love and appreciate everyone in my country and have to feel like I am stumbling with words to try and explain something good and yes, I say this with a kind, happy smile.

Something maybe I do not say often enough, is within my country I see a very large loving family that are both Jewish and Muslim; which I keep everyone very close in my heart, with the further hope inshaallah (Allah [God] willing) to one day seeing my countrymen. If by some chance, I do not get to see everyone; my love will never diminish, for I will love my family my whole life.

Canaanite Terrorists Attack Hebron

Global terrorist Interpol fugitive Mahmoud Abbas’s Canaanite terrorist security officers have invaded the streets of the town of Hebron with an attempt at full scale attacks on the Palestinian populace, on 25 October 2008.

More than 585 Canaanite terrorist security, as part of there continuous attacks within Palestine.

Every initiative will be used to bring to an end these latest’s attacks, with further steps to stop anymore in the future; for this type of situation can not continue within the country. As the old saying goes, 'Enough is as good as a feast.'

Furthermore, it should be moved foreword towards the non-citizen Canaanite eviction from the country; with what ever means that is necessary; with the idea of further stopping this problem in the future, for these continuous terrorist operations is just not acceptable, especially with the concern of peoples safety.

It is also brought to mind, the recent knife attack which people where injured and the youth terrorist; at the busy checkpoint.

Nevertheless, the Canaanites where extremely aggressive about 9,000 years ago when they where forced from Anatolia (now Turkey) for there criminal activities, which where similar accept in a modernized version; everyone is seeing today. Otherwise, they have never changed no matter where they are; the Canaanites will always be dangerous which is a shame.

In further understanding the history of the Canaanite’s, I can actually understand why Allah (God) has always cursed them and why He wrote about them in the manner that He has and the prophesy of there future.

Which I will admit, I have actually tried to make things better by evicting the Canaanites or having them surrender for example for there sake, because of what the prophesy actually says; which with the type of people they are goes unheeded.

There is also a very important factor, that terrorism is not only unacceptable but a high crime; too many innocent citizens getting hurt or killed for no reason. To the majority of crime’s that does occur in Palestine now and throughout history of the country, is by the Canaanites and while I do not have ill will towards the Canaanites, I contend that I do not abide by any type of crime.

For people in a country have the right to feel safe and be happy, to the opposite of living in fear for there lives at any given moment; as what is occuring now with the Canaanite terrorist activities and with aid from there terrorist collaborators.

Palin testifies to investigator in ethics dispute

23 October 2008
By MATT APUZZO and JIM SALTER

ST. LOUIS – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin testified for two hours Friday in an abuse-of-power investigation that has been a distraction to her Republican vice presidential campaign. Palin's leadership was questioned this month in a stinging but largely toothless legislative report that found she violated state ethics laws by letting a family dispute influence her decision-making.

Palin is hoping the Alaska Personnel Board, which is running a parallel investigation, will clear her of wrongdoing. It's unclear, however, whether any conclusion will be reached before Election Day.

"She felt this was an opportunity to get an unbiased, independent review of the facts," McCain campaign spokesman Taylor Griffin said.

The board is investigating the firing of her public safety commissioner, Walter Monegan. Monegan claims he was dismissed because he refused to fire Palin's former brother-in-law, a state trooper involved in a messy divorce from Palin's sister. The controversy, known as "Troopergate," took on national significance after John McCain selected Palin as his running mate.

The legislative inquiry found that Monegan's firing was proper but the pressure to fire the trooper, Mike Wooten, was not. Griffin says Palin stands by her decision to fire Monegan and her concerns about Wooten.

Palin and her husband, Todd, say Wooten was unstable and had made threats against their family. Wooten had also used an electric stun gun on his stepson.

Endangered Persian Leopard Cub Presented for First Time to Media

A four-week-old Persian leopard cub looks into the camera at the Budapest Zoo, 0n 21 October 2008. The cub and its twin were presented to the media for the first time last Tuesday.

The Persian leopard is said to be the largest of all the subspecies of leopards in the world. It can grow to up to 1.5 to 2.7 feet tall at the shoulder, and weigh as much as 155 lbs.

These particular leopard’s are on the endangered list for several reasons and protected by International law, which they are also one of the animal’s being subjected to extreme suffering at this time from warfare; in there mountain habitat, particularly in Afghanistan with the US occupation and genocide of the human inhabitants of the country.

A Beautiful sleek full grown Persian Leopard, just imagine there grace and nimbleness of foot.

While many people may think a war is just an armed conflict between two groups of people or countries, what most people tend to not take into account is the enormous ramifications that effects every fiber of existence which wars actually cause; this little Persian Leopard cub is just one of them.

Nevertheless, what people also may not take into account, is every living thing on the earth has a purpose or Allah (God) wouldn’t have put them there; as in this particular case of these leopard's, to maintain the balance of the earth.

Bushonomics: Wall Street with Another Week of Steep Losses

A specialist holds his head as he works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, on Friday 24 October 2008.

Bushonomics: Teaching the Iraqi's How to Spend Money

24 October 2008

This one of those note worthy articles that is a bit interesting to the mind, apparently the Iraqi government has a little spending money and who would like to help them learn to spend, spend, spend; none other then the spend capital of the world, the United States.

After all the US has spent so much, there country is in full economic collapse, many of there people are subjected to abject poverty or just plain starving and to make matters worse the homeless population is becoming absolutely staggering between Hurricanes’ and home foreclosures, to let us not forget; the ever increasing high unemployment which continues to grow at leap and bounds.

So back to the beginning, who better to teach any one to spend; the United States.

Everybody need’s another country in full economic panic, let alone Iraq with foreign occupation and continuing genocide?

International Solidarity Movement Found in Terrorism Question

Jewish settlers from of Kedumim look on visiting, while alleged activists from the International Solidarity Movement helping Canaanite farmers harvest their olives in the village of Kafr Qadum near Qalqilya, on 24 October 2008.

A recent spate of attacks by terrorists from Mahmoud Abbas Canaanite terrorist organization in the area prompted Jewish Defense Minister Ehud Barak to lash out this week at what he said were 'thugs' who interfere with the annual Palestinian olive harvest.

As to recent information concerning the International Solidarity Movement, they should be added to the terrorist watch list and removed from Palestine; due to certain activities that can be considered acts or promoting terrorism.

While there was an investigation towards certain ongoing terrorist operations, the International Solidarity Movement came foreword with promotion, of said terrorist operations on there web site .

New Orleans recovery chief weighs future

23 October 2008
By Becky Bohrer

NEW ORLEANS — The man leading the city’s recovery from Hurricane Katrina is debating whether to stay, as criticism grows over the pace of rebuilding.

Ed Blakely, the urban planner hired by Mayor Ray Nagin less than two years ago, said his continued employment is “a matter of kind of political judgment.

These things are day-to-day for me.”

Blakely’s weighing his options at a time when hundreds of infrastructure projects are wrapped up or under way.

But much of the recovery, particularly projects that would affect neighborhood-level rebuilding — streetscapes, encouraging “green grocers,” parks and money to buy derelict homes or businesses — is still on the drawing board, with hundreds of millions of dollars lined up.

Big-ticket redevelopment projects, some requiring private money or largely out of city hands, are still perhaps years from reality, if they ever happen.

City Council members have in recent weeks stepped up their criticism of Blakely and demanded accountability for what they see as a lack of progress in rebuilding neighborhoods hit by Katrina in August 2005. Blakely began work in January 2007.

His continued consulting work, which recently took him to Dubai, also has drawn fire.

“No matter who it is — him or the next person or whoever the next person is — has to commit to being 24-7, in my opinion, and have nothing else to do,” City Council President Jackie Clarkson said Thursday.

“We’re on the brink of making it or breaking it, and now is the time to lead or get out of the way.”

Blakely didn’t give a timeline for leaving, saying he intended to speak with Nagin in the coming months to reach a mutual decision.

Councilwoman Cynthia Hedge-Morrell, who represents hard-hit areas such as Gentilly and has called for a more “equitable distribution” of recovery money, said Blakely told her Thursday “he’s not going anywhere.”

“He said that he’s always evaluating and that he has no plans to leave right now,” said Hedge-Morrell, who as the council budget committee chair has threatened to use the budget process to hold Blakely’s office more accountable for recovery spending and progress.

A spokeswoman for the mayor did not return a call or e-mail seeking comment on Blakely’s future.

In April 2007, Blakely told an audience in Australia, where his wife lives and he still holds a position at the University of Sydney, that he intended to leave New Orleans this year.

In an interview Thursday with The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune, Blakely said his work in New Orleans had been tough on his family.

In the midst of the criticism, Blakely has voiced his own frustration, saying there are too many meetings that pull staffers away from their recovery work.

“I’m trying, that’s all I can say,” said the 70-year-old Blakely, who earns about $150,000 a year.

“I don’t build the buildings; I just try to get the money and to the extent we can, we’re going as fast as we can.”

Blakely’s at-times brash, brusque style and bold pronouncements made headlines and helped raise expectations for the city’s full recovery.

In an interview last year, he said he’d eventually like to see the Lower 9th Ward reborn as an Afro-Cuban version of the French Quarter, with music and art, architecturally diverse homes and restaurants.

That neighborhood today is largely deserted, with pockets of development spurred by individual homeowners and third world slum housing built with actor Brad Pitt’s backing.

Small victories for Blakely — neighborhood fresh markets and bike paths, for example — have been largely overlooked by residents wanting more, faster.

Germany Presents Jewish Holocaust-era Directory

23 October 2008
By ARON HELLER

JERUSALEM – The German government on Thursday handed Palestine's national Jewish Holocaust memorial the personal details of 600,000 Jewish residents of Nazi Germany, the most comprehensive record to date of German-Jewish life during the Nazi era.

German Culture Minister Bernd Neumann presented the directory during a ceremony at the Yad Vashem memorial, saying that it allowed for the first time to show the Jewish residents of Germany from 1933-1945.

"But this list is much more than a list," Neumann said. "It is a unique document about life in Germany and tells the story of those who could not tell their own story."

Neumann, whose responsibilities include German commemoration of the Holocaust, said he hoped the list would "restore to these victims part of their honor."

The ceremony took place in the Hall of Names, a cone-shaped room whose walls are lined with bookshelves containing folders upon folders of pages of testimonies about the Holocaust victims. Yad Vashem currently has records on 3.3 million of the 6 million who perished and continues to collect archival material from around the world.

The new directory includes the names and addresses of the Jewish residents and classifies them into those who survived, those who perished and those whose fate remains unknown. The list includes details on emigration, detention and deportation, as well as where and when people died.

"This list adds to our understanding of what happened to the Jews in Germany," said Yad Vashem director Avner Shalev. "Every new piece of information allows us to piece together the story of individuals and communities during the Holocaust."

With this latest list, Yad Vashem has essentially completed its database on German Jewry during the Nazi era, Shalev said.

Its focus will now turn to compiling a similar database on the Jews who lived in Poland and eastern Europe, an extremely difficult task because of poor record-keeping, large-scale executions and mass destruction of villages.

"We are nearing the point where we will reach the limit of extracting human memory," Shalev said. "It's a scary point, because beyond it everything will be lost."

It took 20 German scientists four years to compile the directory and cost $2.24 million. It was presented to German Chancellor Angela Merkel a few weeks ago and she instructed Neumann to hand over a digital copy to Yad Vashem.

Around 2.5 million data records were collected from more than 1,000 sources, including Jewish and Nazi archives, according to "Remembrance, Responsibility and Future," the German foundation that produced the directory together with the German federal archives.

Following Yad Vashem, the records will also be made available to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, the Jewish Claims Conference and the International Tracing Service in Bad Arolsen, Germany.

The list is not being made public. It is subject to strict German data protection laws, given that it has names of people who are still alive.

"It is a memorial to those murdered and those forced into exile. The shame for the crimes committed by the Germans is mixed with grief for the loss that Germany inflicted upon itself," said Martin Salm, the chairman of the foundation.

"The murderers wanted to eradicate the Jewish people and Jewish identity. They did not succeed," Salm said.

Commentary:

As to the Jewish Holocaust, it is a hope that all that actually happened will be known one day, because one thing I have personally learned, that sometimes the horror’s that effects a person are hard to explain sometimes because it is to much for them; even though one may try very hard to do so, for it is thought this is a mechanism of how the human body survives events such as this.

This is why in cases like this, documentation or in some case’s archeology; is so important.

Furthermore, it is even a thought of some Jewish Holocaust survivors that I have met and some became friends for a time, relayed things when they spoke and as I have gotten older completely understand.

For example, I will never forget the anguish of my friend Esther when she spoke of herself and the death’s of her whole family nor her tears and even to this day, when I think of what she said, to her tears; I still cry and remember too.

In further thinking of a remark that was said to me yesterday, that some people apparently think the horrors that I have went through in my own life, are reminiscent to this time and even my process of thinking; which personally, I am not sure. But I will not rule out the possibility that this idea may be so, that I am also a 'victim,' which I never liked that word, of Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.

If this turns out to be true, I will hold my head up with the millions that are here and now being subject to this form of maltreatment, to those who came before me; especially those who did become martyrs, for they did not nor should not fold to these sort of crimes subjected to any part of humanity.

UN: Over 12,000 cholera cases in Guinea Bissau

24 October 2008

GENEVA – The United Nations says over 12,220 people have been infected with cholera in Guinea-Bissau and 201 have died from the disease.

UNICEF spokeswoman Veronique Taveau says the outbreak of cholera in the West African nation has proven exceptionally difficult to control.

Taveau says the capital of Bissau has more than half of the cases, but the disease has spread to all provinces since it started in mid-May.

Taveau said Friday that officials fear the disease could spread further because of an election campaign expected to draw large crowds in unhygienic conditions.

U.N. humanitarian spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs says the United Nations is already spending $1 million to fight the cholera outbreak.

Commentary:
As to this cholera epidemic that it usually is in the water supply, especially if wells or of this nature get’s low and in some cases stagnates; is it possible to purify the water in some manner or supply water until the contamination is resolved.

In the US at one time, American’s use to get this disease and Diphtheria, but nevertheless, it was caused when there use to be dug wells and when the water got low especially in summer; there was at times major epidemics like is being faced in Guinea-Bissau.

As to Diphtheria, some of the symptom’s do reoccur after a person has had the disease throughout the rest of there life, similar to the reoccurrence of malaria.

Bushonomics: Wall Street layoffs could surge past 200,000

A group of unemployed Wall Street employees perform for a crowd outside the New York Stock Exchange, on 13 October 2008.

23 October 2008
By JOE BEL BRUNO

NEW YORK – Traders and investment bankers might have more to worry about than dwindling bonus pools this year as mass firings on Wall Street are set to hit a record.

The fallout from this year's global credit crisis has claimed jobs on all corners of Wall Street, from hedge fund managers to floor traders and beyond. More than 110,000 have lost their jobs so far this year, and some industry experts forecast it could come close to 200,000 before the year is over.

Even the financial industry's biggest name isn't immune. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the world's biggest investment bank, made plans on Thursday to cut 3,200 positions from its staff of 32,000. Barclays Capital is in the midst of purging 3,000 jobs as part of its takeover of Lehman Brothers, and Bank of America Corp.'s acquisition of Merrill Lynch & Co. is sure to add thousands more.

Major U.S. financial companies are getting rid of redundancies caused by this year's rapid-fire consolidation. They are also adapting to an environment of more regulation, less risk, and dwindling profits.

"Wall Street the way we know it is frankly gone," said Dr. Michael Williams, dean of the graduate school of business at Touro College in New York. "This was inevitable because there's just not enough money out there to support the huge staffs these banks and investment banks had before."

Williams and other analysts believe this next wave of cutbacks will be the biggest the American financial industry has faced since massive bank failures in the 1930s. He believes up to 250,000 financial workers — perhaps even more — could find themselves out of work by the second quarter of next year.

U.S. financial services companies have cut 111,201 positions through September, on top of 153,105 made last year, according to Chicago-based outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association said there are currently 867,400 people employed by their members that include securities firms, brokerages, stock exchanges, and banks.

John Challenger, chief executive of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said layoffs will surge in the next few months as companies begin to position themselves for 2009. In addition, cutting employees before the year's end in some cases eliminates hefty bonus payments.

"There's been heavy layoffs already, but until you see events start to slow down, we're not out of the woods," he said. "These companies, even the very best of them like Goldman, are subject to the conditions of much lower activity and much less revenue."

For the two surviving stand-alone investment banks, Golman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, the business environment might slow as they reshape themselves into companies that more closely resemble retail banks. That means they'll be more regulated, with greater limits on their ability to take risk.

There also remains uncertainty about how many banks might fail, even with the government's various bailouts. Banks that have heavy exposure to toxic mortgage investments and other risky bets might collapse or be acquired by healthier banks, in the next year.

Washington Mutual Corp., the Washington-based thrift, is in the process of unloading its retail branches to JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Wachovia Corp. is selling its retail network to Wells Fargo & Co. The number of jobs lost is still unknown from those transactions.

BofA's acquisition of Merrill Lynch could result in thousands of lost jobs, especially in areas like technology, operations and finance. Both sides are still attempting to map out where the cuts will come from, and there were reports this week that Merrill had already sent pink slips to 500 or more traders in New York.

A spokeswoman for Merrill declined to comment.

Bushonomics US: Bush's 2009 War Budget

14 October 2008

US President George W Bush signed the fiscal 2009 defense budget into law Oct. 14, authorizing a $512 billion base to support military readiness, as well as $66 billion for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The law also authorizes a 3.9 percent pay raise for servicemembers, to take effect Jan. 1. This represents a one-half-percent increase over Bush’s initial request.

Bush signed the bill into law the morning of Oct. 14 without issuing a public statement, before leaving the White House to meet with Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon.

34 Coffins Find there Way Home

In the Iraqi Shia holy city of Karbala, funerals are held for 34 men whose skeletal remains were found at a factory near the Syrian border three years after they vanished.

Relatives and friends carry the coffins of 34 abducted men killed nearly three years ago, on 23 October 2008; during their funeral in the streets of al-Bena al-Jahiz neighborhood in Karbala, 120kms South of Baghdad.

The skeletal remains of 34 men killed nearly three years ago were found at an Iraqi factory near the Syrian border and brought to the Shia holy city of Karbala yesterday, an official said.

The men who were from Karbala disappeared in 2005 after they left the city with a man posing as an Iraqi army officer to join the security forces in the western Iraqi city of Ramadi, an official with the local office of the movement of Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr said.

He said the remains of the men were found three days ago buried at the factory in the town of Al-Qaim near the Syrian border.

Iraq criticizes U.S. military chief remarks over security pact

23 October 2008

Iraq-Iraq on Wednesday criticized remarks made by U.S. military chief Michael Mullen in which he warned Iraqi government of "significant consequences" if it fails to sign U.S. security deal.

"Deeply concerned, the Iraqi government received the comments of Admiral Michael Mullen," Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said in a statement.

"These comments are not welcomed by Iraq. All Iraqis and their political parties are aware of their responsibilities and they know how important to sign or not to sign the deal in a way that it is suitable to them," Dabbagh said.

Mullen asserted that if the current UN mandate expires by the end of 2008, Iraqi security forces "will not be ready to provide for their security. And in that regard there is great potential for losses of significant consequence."

"We are clearly running out of time," said Mullen.

The long-delayed agreement, that would allow U.S. troops to stay in Iraq beyond the UN mandate, has raised objections among various Iraqi factions, including the ruling Shiite one.

On Sunday, the largest political bloc in the parliament, the Unified Iraqi Alliance (UIA), raised issue with a draft of the agreement, when Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, whose Dawa Party is part of UIA, reviewed the current draft with top leaders of the alliance and said changes still needed to be made in order to guarantee Iraq's sovereignty and the interests of its people.

The draft said that the U.S. troops would leave Iraq by Dec. 31,2011. The deal also allow Iraqi courts to prosecute American service members in case of accusing them of serious crimes while off duty.

Peres Visit's Egypt

Jewish President Shimon Peres is greeted by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, on 23 October 2008; in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

The leaders are meeting for discussions towards various topics, which some are of international importance; which was thought to also include on securing the release of HRM Deborah of Palestine, who is a US political hostage and has been imprisoned for over 50 years.

HRM Deborah has been subjected to extreme torture (which caused most of my bones to be broken some twice, especially a visible broken jaw), forced labor, among other horrible things which are numerous and hard to think about sometimes because it was attempts to destroy ever facet of my life and at too many times my mother (who was assassinated 1995), for 37 years.

There where attempted assassination on numerous occasions, on two particular occasions almost caused my death, one in 1997 and the second in 2000; which this has been for the majority of my life.

Most of the details of my experiences, even thing’s especially when I was a child that was at that time hard to understand, because I was never guilty of anything; just that I am Palestine royality and am now the Queen; all information to my understanding, has been extensively documented, which I am grateful; because I am quilty of nothing.

I was told once that I went through the extreme conditions that usually would happen to a man, not a woman and apparently, many people are surprised; I have survived thus far. For me, it was always faith in Allah and perseverance.

Throughout this blog and to the best of my abilities, I have tried to be helpful; to explain my life, situations that where asked of me; which at times has been very hard for me and so very sad mostly the loss of too many good people by unnatural means, the majority by assassination.

Which HRM Deborah of Palestine is overwhelmed and very happy over such kindness by Peres and Mubarak and to everyone that has cared about me. The emotions I am feeling at this time, is very hard to put into words.

US: What are the candidates hiding?

23 October 2008
by Kenneth P. Vogel

In the past week, Cindy McCain released two pages of her 2007 tax return, and Joe Biden let reporters review — but not copy — 49 pages of his medical records.

But those steps did not satisfy critics, reporters and opposition researchers, who pressed for McCain’s tax schedules and the previous years’ returns for her and her husband, Republican presidential candidate John McCain. And they demanded the results of follow-up exams given to Biden, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, after his 1988 aneurysms.

And those aren’t the only hotly sought but unreleased records that could shed light on the candidates — and the families of those candidates — who are seeking to run the country. With less than two weeks to go until Election Day, each presidential campaigns is accusing the other of withholding key documents that could answer outstanding questions about the personal and professional lives of the people at the top of the tickets, resulting in something of a transparency race subplot.

So, without further ado, here are 10 of the top missing documents from campaign 2008, in no particular order:

• Obama’s legal clients

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has boasted of his time working as a civil rights lawyer in Chicago. But the boutique law firm that employed him for parts of 11 years — now known as Miner, Barnhill & Galland — also handled matters that don’t fit under the civil rights umbrella, including contracts, real estate deals, incorporations and civil defense.

Obama, by some accounts, spent as much as 30 percent of his 3,700 billable hours on the last category.

Neither his campaign nor the firm will release a list of the cases on which he worked.

Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt asserted that “Sens. Obama and Biden have taken voluntary transparency steps as legislators and candidates that have allowed their constituents, the media and their political opponents to fully examine both men.”

LaBolt pointed to lists of hundreds of the firm’s clients that Obama attached to the mandatory personal financial disclosure statements he filed for each of his eight years in the Illinois state Senate.

Included on the firm’s client list was Rezmar, a development company co-owned by Obama’s disgraced former fundraiser, Tony Rezko, as well as developer William Moorehead. Moorehead was convicted of stealing more than $1 million from public housing projects he managed and developments he co-owned with Obama’s former boss, Allison S. Davis. Some of the thefts occurred while Moorehead was a client of the firm.

Obama billed between five and seven hours to Rezmar-linked projects, including incorporating nonprofits connected to the company, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Obama’s campaign declined to answer when Politico asked if he did any work for Moorehead.

• Palin’s e-mails

The electronic correspondence of Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is in high demand, not the least because she used a private e-mail account to conduct state business in what some critics claim was an effort to circumvent the state’s public record laws.

Her husband, Todd, often was copied on e-mails about state business, and a state investigation found that she allowed her husband to use state resources to try to settle a family dispute, further fueling demands that she release her electronic mail.

E-mails from her state account are subject to the state’s public records laws — and a court ruling this month seemed to indicate e-mails from private accounts also could be subject to the laws. But that doesn’t mean they’re going to be easy, or inexpensive, to get.

The state of Alaska is seeking to extend a deadline for producing the e-mails until Nov. 17 — nearly two weeks after the election — asserting that it is a laborious process to identify all of the relevant emails and have lawyers determine which parts can be released.

And since the state is refusing to wave its fees — including 10 cents for each printed page of e-mails, plus $960.31 for searching each state employee’s account — the cost to each person requesting the documents could run into the thousands of dollars.

• Biden’s earmark requests

The McCain campaign has worked to make earmarks a major issue in the race, with McCain and Palin blasting Biden and Obama as free-spending earmarkers.

The two have pounced on Obama’s earmark requests, which he voluntarily released going back to his first year in the Senate and which totaled $931 million.

Palin has had to explain her own earmark requests, which totaled $750 million during her two years as governor of Alaska.

And, though McCain has boasted of never requesting “a single earmark,” he nonetheless has taken heat for seeking cash for home-state projects, albeit through more transparent legislative avenues.

That leaves Biden, a Delaware senator, as the only candidate in the quartet for whom there is no public record of earmark requests prior to fiscal year 2009.

Biden voluntarily released his earmark wish list for that year, and it comprises 116 projects with a total price tag of $342 million, including $34 million for the University of Delaware, which since 2002 has paid at least $1.5 million to a lobbying firm in which Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is a partner. The Obama campaign has said that Hunter Biden, who stopped his lobbying work last month, never lobbied his father.

• John and Cindy McCain’s taxes

After John McCain couldn’t immediately recall in an interview how many houses he and Cindy owned, the couple’s finances become an issue in the race, with Obama hammering McCain for being out of touch with regular folks’ economic concerns.

But beyond property records (which showed that Cindy McCain owns eight homes) and mandatory disclosure statements filed by John McCain (which showed that he owns relatively little, while Cindy and her children hold assets worth at least $24 million), McCain has been comparatively unforthcoming about his wealth.

McCain, who maintains separate finances from his wife, released his full tax returns for 2006 and 2007, while Cindy McCain, heiress to a beer distributorship fortune worth as much as $100 million, only released the first two pages of her returns for those years.

Biden and Palin also have released only two years worth of their tax returns, but their finances are substantially less robust than the McCain’s. In the years since it’s become de rigueur for presidential candidates to release their tax returns, only Ronald Reagan in 1980 disclosed less tax information than McCain.

Obama, by contrast, has released his returns dating back to 2000.

• Obama’s state Senate records and schedules

Obama’s Senate files became an issue after he pressed Hillary Rodham Clinton during their nomination battle to release the schedules from her eight years as first lady.

When her campaign demanded Obama release his state Senate files, he told reporters he did not “maintain a file of eight years of work in the state Senate because I didn't have the resources available to maintain those kinds of records.” The records “could have been thrown out. I haven't been in the state Senate now for quite some time," he said.

His campaign later said that "files pertinent to ongoing casework” were passed to his successor, but Obama didn’t save correspondence with the general public, state associations or lobbyists, or memos on legislation and correspondence with Illinois state agencies. Some of the records that have surfaced have done little to dampen the demand for a more complete accounting.

For instance, Obama signed a pair of 1998 letters on his state Senate stationery urging state and Chicago officials to provide taxpayer support for a housing project headed by Davis, Obama’s former law firm boss, and Rezko, who has since been convicted on federal corruption charges.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the pair reaped $855,000 in development fees from the $14.6 million project, which was entirely funded by city, state and federal tax dollars and was four blocks beyond the border of Obama's Senate district.

• Palin’s college transcripts

Palin attended five schools in three states before graduating from the University of Idaho in 1987 with an undergraduate degree in journalism.

A high school friend who attended three of those schools with Palin told the Los Angeles Times that the future governor got straight A's, but a Palin spokeswoman declined to comment when asked by Politico if Palin would release her transcripts. The Times also reported that none of the 12 former Palin professors the newspaper interviewed remembered her.

• Obama’s Columbia thesis

Likewise, there’s not a whole lot of information available about Obama’s time at Columbia University in New York, which he attended for three years after attending Occidental College in Los Angeles for one year, and from which he graduated in 1983.

His campaign would not release his transcripts, and it says it does not have a copy of his thesis, which dealt with Soviet nuclear disarmament and which has drawn intense interest.

• All four candidates’ medical records

Biden, who had two brain surgeries in 1988 to repair separate aneurysms, is not the only candidate to be less-than-completely open when it comes to medical files.

McCain — who is 72 years old, has battled skin cancer and was tortured during five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam — put his personal physician on a conference call with reporters to attest to his good health and granted selected journalists three hours to leaf through nearly 1,200 pages of records covering eight years. But the reporters were not allowed to photocopy or remove the documents, and they were prohibited from using cell phones or e-mail for expert assistance during the review.

McCain’s steps didn’t satisfy critics, including a group of nearly 3,000 doctors who demanded a "full, public release" of the candidate’s records.

By comparison, Obama, who continues struggling to quit smoking and has a family history of cancer, has released only a one-page letter from his doctor proclaiming him in "excellent health," as well as "lean and muscular with no excess body fat."

"Palin has yet to release her records, but seemed to express a willingness to do so in a Wednesday interview with NBC’s Brian Williams."

• Obama’s small donors

Obama boasted that half of the record-breaking $605 million his campaign raised through the end of September came from small donors.

But this summer, when a coalition of eight good-government groups asked both presidential candidates to voluntarily release information on small contributors, only McCain complied, posting a list of all his donors on his website. (Federal election rules only require campaigns to report the names, addresses and occupations of donors when they have given more than $200.)

Obama’s small donors recently created headaches for his campaign, with news reports highlighting letters from the Federal Election Commission directing Obama to return contributions from people who exceeded the $4,600 individual limit by giving donations in under-$200 installments. Some were from previously undisclosed and apparently fictitious donors.

Obama said he returned the excess contributions; the FEC also asked McCain to return donations that exceeded the $4,600 individual limit.

• McCain flight records

McCain’s presidential campaign used a legal loophole to hopscotch the country in a jet owned by a Cindy McCain-controlled company, King Aviation, for cut-rate fares, according to The New York Times.

The paper reported that during a key five-month stretch when McCain was struggling to raise cash and gain traction in the battle for the Republican presidential nomination, the jet, a Cessna Citation Excel, was used almost exclusively for campaign purposes. The campaign reimbursed the company substantially less than it would have cost to charter a similar jet, the report said.

McCain’s campaign continued paying King for use of the plane through the end of last month. FEC records show McCain’s payments to the company total $477,000 since the summer of 2007.

But the campaign declined to release records detailing how much it paid for specific flights, which could permit calculations about whether the campaign was paying full charter rates.

From the beginning of 2007 through May 2008, King earned $303,000 for Cindy McCain and her dependent children, according to McCain’s presidential disclosure form.

Obama Gambling in Columbia

23 October 2008

U.S. presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama has been gambling in all places Colombia and apparently he hit the jackpot; the average weekly top prize for the lottery tickets -- around $300,000 (186,000 pounds).

Which in many places around the globe, gambling is considered Haram (sin) and an enticement by Shaytan (Satan), which it must be said, excluding Columbia; but it is a major problem in the United States, along with Alcoholism.

It is also being taken into question, if this particular incident; is a form of illegal activity on Obama’s part.

Jalili: Stability, economic blossoming are Iraqis' right

23 October 2008

Tehran-Secretary of Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili in a meeting with Kurdistan Regional Government President Massoud Barzani said establishment of stability and economic blossoming is the right of Iraqi oppressed nation.

In the meeting here Wednesday, Jalili, by referring to the historical and cultural deep roots between the two countries, said developing relations between Iran and Iraq in all fields is necessary and vital for both of them.

Jalili called presence of occupiers in Iraq as a main factor for insecurity there and by referring to the extortion of a number of powers said, "Wisdom of leaders and active participation of Iraqis in such a sensitive and historical period of time guarantees independence, honor and future progress for the country."

He also evaluated expansion of cooperation between Iran and Iraq as a ground for stability in the region and prosperity for both nations.

President of Kurdish Regional Government Massoud Barzani by presenting a report on situation in the region, appreciated Iran's help for Iraqi people in different periods of history, either before or after downfall of Saddam Hussein's regime.

Simhat Torah: Rejoicing of the Torah

An Ultra-Orthodox Jewish boy stands on his head as he dances with others during the celebration of Simhat Torah (Rejoicing of the Torah) in the neighborhood of Mea Shearim, on 21 October 2008.

Jews carry a Torah Scrolls as they dance with others during the celebration of Simhat Torah in Rabin Square, in Tel Aviv.

As soon as Sukkot is finished for the seven days, what some infer as the eighth day is Simhat Torah (Rejoicing of the Torah); which is the completion of the cycle Torah reading for the year.

The main honor on this particular day is reading the final verse of the Torah which is called chatan Torah (the bridegroom of the Torah). Then one has the honor of reading Genesis which is called chatan Bereshit (the bridegroom of Genesis), to signify the continuing cycle of worship and to signify that the Torah has neither beginning nor end or a time when the Jewish people are not engaged in it’s reading.

Further, this particular day is primarily celebrated in the synagogue.

Also at this time, all of the Jewish people usually have the opportunity to celebrate with dancing and the parade of the Torah scrolls, as an act of honor and reverence.

While there are much more detailed events that occur on this specific day, this is the main significance.

Bushonomics Poll: Americans angry, worried over state of nation

21 October 2008
by Paul Steinhauser

WASHINGTON -A new national poll suggests that only a quarter of Americans think things are going well in the country today, while the rest of those questioned are angry, scared and stressed out.

Seventy-five percent of those surveyed in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Tuesday said things are going badly in the United States.

An equal portion of those polled said they are angry about the way things are going. Two-thirds of those questioned said they're scared about the way things are going and three in four said the current conditions in the country are stressing them out.

"It's scary how many Americans admit they are scared," said Keating Holland, CNN's polling director. "Americans tend to downplay the amount of fear they have when facing tough times. The fact that more than six in 10 say that they are scared shows how bad things are getting."

The 25 percent who said things are going well in the country is another indicator of the negative mood among Americans.

"Prior to 2008, we have seen that level of dissatisfaction only three times in the past four decades -- during Watergate, the Iranian hostage crisis and the recession of 1992," Holland added.

The survey also suggests that most Americans are not happy with President Bush. Seventy-two percent of those questioned disapprove of the president's handling of his job.

The war in Iraq also continues to be unpopular with Americans, with 32 percent of those questioned favoring the war.

The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll was conducted Friday through Sunday, with 1,058 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Commentary:
It has been reported numerous times, that the global approval rating for US President George W. Bush is now in the subbasement; if he where a house.

This is towards the overall manner that Bush has not only handled himself among the global community, but the manner he has destroyed his own country.

Bush has committed some of the most heinous crime’s that in some cases does go beyond what Adolph Hitler attempted to do globally, especially in the case of global domination, slavery, oppression, war and genocide; to name a few examples.

Just thinking of some of Bush’s crime‘s, could make a normal person’s stomach curdle and sour; from the horror.

Int'l activists Illegally Plan to sail into Gaza within October

22 October 2008

International 'pro-Palestinian' terrorist campaigners will sail into Gaza in October to challenge a non-existent 16-month-old alleged Jewish embargo on the territory, a Palestinian terrorist activist said on Wednesday.

Jamal al-Khodary, an alleged independent Canaanite lawmaker who is wanted for questioning in regards to terrorist activities associated with Mahmoud Abbas’s terrorist organization and who heads the Gaza-based Popular Committee against the Siege which has ties to Mahmoud Abbas terrorist organization, said the "Hope" boat will start its voyage from Cyprus to Gaza on 28 October.

"Western activists, an alleged Arab member of the Jewish Knesset and a West Bank-based member of the Mahmoud Abbas’s Canaanite terrorist organization would be on board," reported by an unidentified source. Al-Khodary remarked without validation, "the Israeli occupation prevented the ship, which carries medical supplies, several times from weighing anchor."

In August, some 46 activists from Free Gaza Movement barely docked illegally two wooden ships at Gaza seaport as they where told to turn back several times by the Palestine government for illegal entry and forewarning of terrorist’s aboard, which is high crime's in Palestine and they further, led an armed attack towards the Palestinian military upon landing on Palestine soil.

According to al-Khoadary, the anchoring of the new Ship will coincide with the alleged arrival of European parliamentary delegation, which neither can enter without permission from HRM Deborah of Palestine's permission only; in this case.

If this latest group attempt’s to illegally enter Palestine, the appropriate measures will be taken, according to International and Palestine law.

Update:
As to the United Nations recommendation on this situation, HRM Deborah of Palestine agreed completely and thank you for there kindness.

28 October 2008
Especially due to recent events by these terrorist’s and I say this without hesitation, that they did not follow any procedures even if they where a legitimate group, other then trying to bully there way into Palestine; which is being reported this group sole intention is to transport on said boat’s supplies for terrorism to global terrorist Interpol fugitive Mahmoud Abbas’s Canaanite organization.

These boats’ and all aboard are considered armed and extremely dangerous for associates of this group, will commit murder with opportunity in full collaboration with the Canaanites.

Everything necessary to protect Palestine and her citizens should be implemented.

Western governments wage psychological war in Mideast: Larijani

22 October 2008

Tehran-Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said in Manama on Tuesday that the Western states have waged psychological war in the Middle East in order to sell more weapons to the regional states.

In a meeting with Chairman of Bahraini Legislature's Upper House, Ali bin Saleh al-Saleh, he added that by selling more weapons, the Western governments are trying to settle the current financial crisis.

He urged the Islamic states to make efforts not to be influenced by negative effects of the financial crisis.

Al-Saleh said for his part that exchange of visits between the two countries' senior officials would be useful to further promote bilateral cooperation in all areas.

He added that Bahraini leaders are interested in expansion of ties between Iran and it is a political agenda for Bahrain as a member of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council.

Expressing his satisfaction with inking of a gas accord with Iran, he called for materialization of the agreement as soon as possible.

After the meeting, the Iranian Majlis speaker visited different sections of the Bahraini Consultative Council's building and signed its memorial book.

Larijani then attended a banquet held in his honor by Bahraini Parliament Speaker, Khalifa bin Ahmad al-Zahrani.

Larijani, heading a high-ranking delegation arrived in Manama on Tuesday upon a formal invitation from al-Zahrani.

Jewish artifacts looted on Kristallnacht unearthed near Berlin

Hermann Goering

A Jewish investigative journalist and his crew discover mezuzahs, chiseled windowsills and armrests from destroyed synagogues at Brandenburg waste site; archeological dig required to recover all artifacts, reporter says

22 October 2008
by Roi Mandel

A Jewish investigative reporter has discovered a large amount of personal and ceremonial artifacts which were looted from Jews during Kristallnacht in 1938.

The items have recently been unearthed by Yaron Svoray at a waste site the size of four soccer fields in Brandenburg, located north of Berlin.

Kristallnacht, also known as the "Night of Broken Glass" or the "Crystal Night pogroms," saw the destruction of more than 200 synagogues and the ransacking of tens of thousands of Jewish businesses and homes. During the Nazi pogrom 92 Jews were murdered and 25,000–30,000 were arrested and deported to concentration camps.

The waste site is located in close proximity to the former home of Hermann Goering, who commanded the German air force (Luftwaffe) during World War II.

Jewish shops vandalized during Kristallnacht.

According to Svoray, the son of the waste site's watchman had told him that remnants from Kristallnacht were dumped there, and after learning of the possible importance of the artifacts from the director of the Kibbutz Lochmei Ha’ Getaot Museum, Simcha Stein, he returned to Germany with a group of volunteers.

"Within an hour of digging with our bare hands we found a bottle embossed with a Star of David," Svoray told Ynet. "We were very excited, because the chances of a bottle surviving a war are so slim.

"Forty meters (approx. 130 feet) from where we unearthed the bottle I discovered a huge metallic swastika. That's when I knew we had a major story on our hands," the journalist said.

Additional artifacts found by Svoray's crew included mezuzahs and chiseled windowsills and armrests from destroyed synagogues. A swastika-shaped ornament was also discovered.

The search for additional artifacts at the site is ongoing under the constant watch of bodyguards, this after Svoray complained of threats made on his life.

Svoray refrained from making his findings public for fear that the site would attract people looking to get their hands on Nazi treasures.

"There are no real treasures here, but there is still a danger that the site will turn into a circus of auctions organized by skinheads," he said, "the site is drawing more and more interest; people are starting to dig."

Svoray stressed that an organized archeological dig will be required in order to unearth all of the Jewish artifacts at the site.

The journalist also reported of a plan to erect a hunting museum in Goering's honor at the site. He said that so far his repeated efforts to scuttle the plan have failed.

Commentary:
For those archeologist’s on the site, is it possible to make it a closed site so others can not destroy the dig?

Furthermore, it is a hope that these archeologist’s find, all they where hoping for.

While I may not know everything from my studies, but it is thought anyone who has learned anything on the Jewish Holocaust; knows about, Kristallnacht.

In my opinion, this particular event of Anti-Semitism was like people went into some type of angry frenzy, due to the Nazi propaganda towards something that was not true.

This is why the use of the media to harm another, not only does mental damage, but does created things such as this, wars and some of the most horrible atrocities known to man; all in the name of a lie.

Furthermore, one can not help to think of the tens of thousands of lives that are lost though this very type of situation, not to mention like what the archeologist are doing; is very possibly finding the truth that may yet be told.

On a more personal note, while numerous events during the holocaust has greatly saddened me, Kristallnacht, has always been one of those extremely sad event’s that I will never forget.

Thinking of a time from my childhood when I first saw the Nazi identification mark on a woman’s holocaust survivor’s arm, for her arm extended a little from her sleeve and while it was obvious not to be something normal; a little time later, I asked my mother if she knew what happened to the woman’s arm.

She did explain to me, several thing’s about the Jewish holocaust and for a little time later in one neighborhood we where living for a time, I saw several people in various places with the same markings and for a young child; this is another event that never leaves one’s thoughts with the compassion I always felt, when I saw those identification markings.

What is even more interesting, is while I was learning the previous events, the Jewish and Arab Palestinians where still thrust in that unwanted, what became the 108 year war. I never had ill feelings towards anyone, just for a time as I have said before, the 'why' there was a war when it made no sense and as it has came to be known; I for one always wished for it to stop and it did.

As I do not know all the feelings of other people about the war ending this year, I do know, I am most grateful.

Sukkot: Dancing for Joy

The Jewish people dance with national flags and a Torah scroll on the last day of the celebration of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), chanting slogans and waving flags in Acre, on 21 October 2008.

Not just for the Jewish people, but whole of Palestine seems to be dancing with numerous smile’s lately and it is so very wonderful to see. Even seeing, a Muslim Palestinian man dancing on the sidewalk just for the sure joy of life.

Makes me think of an old saying, when one smiles the whole world smile’s with you; Allah (God) willing, one day this will be true for everyone.

I do not know about other children, but when I was a very small child, I use to wonder what my life would be like when I grew-up and what I would accomplish in my life for I always wished to do good things, to just sharing love for people; but I do have to admit, I would never thought of seeing such wonderment, even sitting here day after day in my little prison.- HRM Deborah

The Angel that Watched Over the Children

By HRM Deborah

This particular piece of art and another that I could not find to show, use to hang on my grandmother’s wall; when I was a little girl.

The two picture’s while they where in simple frame‘s, use to hang on a wall originally in our home in Palestine, before ending up on a wall in America.

When I went to my grandmother’s as a child probably at first the age of the above children, I would look and these pictures’ sometime’s for what seemed like long period’s of time, because Angels really do look over, love and protect good people from harm; especially children. These are known as the guardian Angels.

As to what happened to the pictures after my grandmother was assassinated in 1973, I do not know and many times have wondered about them in fond memory.

As to anything more about them, I have wondered very much, other then I loved them and they always gave me a very good feeling.

This is one of those times; I wished to share a nice memory with everyone.
