In der Inneren Mongolei haben chinesische Forscher mindestens 125 Millionen Jahre alte Fossilien eines kleinen Säugers gefunden, den sie Volaticotherium antiquus getauft haben. Das Tier hat die Fortbewegung in der Luft mehr als 70 Millionen Jahre vor den Fledermäusen gelernt, berichten Jin Meng von der Chinese Academy of Sciences in Peking und seine Kollegen im Wissenschaftsmagazin "Nature" (Bd. 444, S. 889).

Die "fliegende Bestie aus dem Altertum", wie der Name des kleinen Säugers wörtlich übersetzt heißt, lebte in der Kreidezeit und war damit ein Zeitgenosse der Dinosaurier. In der Daohugou-Formation, einer fossilen Lagerstätte im Nordosten Chinas, stießen die Forscher auf seine fossilen Überreste. Das Tier unterscheidet sich in mehreren Merkmalen von bereits beschriebenen Säugetieren aus derselben Zeit, schreiben die Paläontologen. So hatte das etwa eichhörnchengroße Tier unter anderem verlängerte Gliedmaßen, einen langen Schwanz mit abgeflachten Schwanzwirbeln und besonders geformte, scharfe Zähne. Mit dieser Statur muss es ein behänder Kletterer gewesen sein, der wohl von Baum zu Baum sprang, wie es heute die Eichhörnchen tun.

Außerdem birgt der Dollarverfall längst nicht nur Risiken, sondern auch Vorteile.

Der größte: Deutschlands Ölrechnung fällt günstiger aus. Der Ölpreis wird weltweit hauptsächlich in Dollar festgelegt. Sinkt der Kurs, muss Europa für die gleiche Menge Öl weniger Euro überweisen. Das gesparte Geld kann für andere Güter ausgegeben werden.
14.Dec.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,druck-453744,00.html
Dass der Dollar irgendwann in den Sinkflug übergehen würde, orakelten Experten schon lange. Jetzt scheint es so weit zu sein. Seit Ende Oktober verlor die amerikanische Währung 5 % ihres Werts gegenüber dem Euro. Seit Anfang des Jahres waren es 13 %. Derzeit pendelt der Euro um den Wert von 1,33 Dollar, nur noch 3 Cent von seinem Allzeithoch aus dem Jahr 2004 entfernt. Und Trichets Kollege Ben Bernanke, Chef der US-Notenbank Fed, schaut einfach zu.
14.Dec.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,druck-453744,00.html
Der Donnerstag vergangener Woche hielt wieder eine neue Lektion in quarkigem Trichet-Sprech bereit. Die günstigen Wirtschaftsaussichten in der Euro-Zone seien von einigen Risiken bedroht, sagte der EZB-Präsident. Unter anderem zählten dazu "Bedenken hinsichtlich möglicher unkontrollierter Entwicklungen aufgrund weltwirtschaftlicher Ungleichgewichte".
Was Europas mächtigster Währungshüter eigentlich sagte: Der schleichende Verfall des Dollar, der sich seit einigen Wochen an den Devisenmärkten abspielt, könnte eine Gefahr für die Konjunktur werden. Was Trichet außerdem deutlich machen wollte: Die EZB hat die Gefahr erkannt und im Blick.
Dennoch setzten Frankfurter Notenbanker am Donnerstag die Leitzinsen erneut um einen Viertel%punkt auf 3,5 % herauf, was den Euro für internationale Anleger attraktiver macht. Den Währungshütern blieb keine Wahl, seit Wochen hatten sie den Schritt angekündigt.

Die Fähigkeit der Füße, einen Körper aufrecht zu tragen und zu bewegen, bezahlten die frühen Menschen mit dem Verlust ihres daumenähnlichen großen Greifzehs. Das hatte für die Hominidenmütter und ihre Säuglinge weitreichende Folgen: Während sich Schimpansenbabys mit Händen und Zehen am Fell der Mutter festklammerten, musste ein kleiner Hominide wahrscheinlich getragen werden. Die Mutter war also auf ihren Partner und die Gruppe angewiesen, die sie schützen und versorgen mussten. Das stärkte die sozialen Bindungen. Dean Falk, ein Experte für die Evolution des Gehirns, vermutet sogar die Wurzeln der Sprache in der Hilflosigkeit der Hominidenbabys: Sie könnte sich aus dem "Mutterisch" entwickelt haben, jenen Lautäußerungen, mit denen eine Mutter ihr Baby tröstete, wenn sie es irgendwo absetzen musste.

Bis dahin passten alle fossilen Funde kleiner Kinder aus jener Ära in ein Babykörbchen. Der neue Fund ist nicht nur das vollständigste bisher entdeckte Kleinkind, sondern sogar das vollständigste Fossil der Spezies Australopithecus afarensis überhaupt. Es gehört zur gleichen Art wie "Lucy", jenes weltberühmte, rund 3,2 Millionen Jahre alte weibliche Skelett, das 1974 in der gleichen Region Afrikas ausgegraben wurde. Im Gegensatz zu "Lucy" hat das Kind auch Finger, einen Fuß und einen vollständigen Rumpf. Und vor allem: Es hat ein Gesicht.

Das kleine Knochenbündel gibt Zeugnis von einer entscheidenden Phase in der Evolution der Hominiden, wie man die Menschen und ihre Vorfahren nennt. Es belegt, wie sich damals in die individuelle Entwicklung allmählich eine ausgedehnte Jugendzeit einschob, eine lang anhaltende Wachstumsperiode, in der unser Gehirn seine enorme Größe erreichen konnte. "Der Fund wird uns viel darüber verraten, wie diese Art lebte und heranwuchs", sagt Bill Kimble, ein Mitglied des Wissenschaftlerteams. "Jetzt können wir zum ersten Mal in der Biografie des Australopithecus afarensis lesen.

"QUIT! is targeting cosmetics giant Estee Lauder with its boycott Israel message, because heir Ron Lauder is president of the Jewish National Fund, which maintains and implements Israel's discriminatory land policies. Two weeks ago, Israel's attorney general determined that all land managed by the Israel Lands Administration, including land owned by the Jewish National Fund, must be marketed without discrimination or limits including to non-Jews. According to the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, "The state prosecutor's office believes it will not be able to defend before the High Court the policy of allocating Jewish National Fund land to Jews only." Days later, news agencies reported, " The Jewish National Fund and the Finance Ministry are discussing ways to separate the JNF from the state, to allow it to continue selling land to Jews only." Lauder has publicly declared his support for maintaining Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, which are illegal under international law + for Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon, whose policies have killed over 3,300 Palestinians in the last four years, including over 600 children."

13.Dec.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/}One key indicator of the Prince's thinking -

of his standing in his homeland -

occurred on

29.Nov.2006 -when- his advisor Nawaf Obaid published an important opinion piece in the Washington Post. In

00.Feb.2003 -1 month before- the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq,

the Saudi foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, warned President Bush that he would be "solving one problem + creating five more" if he removed Saddam Hussein by force.

Had Bush heeded his advice, Iraq would not now be on the brink of full-blown civil war + disintegration.
One hopes he won't make the same mistake again by ignoring the counsel of Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States, Prince Turki al-Faisal, who said in a speech last month that "since America came into Iraq uninvited, it should not leave Iraq uninvited."

If it does, one of the first consequences will be massive Saudi intervention to stop Iranian-backed Shiite militias from butchering Iraqi Sunnis.
Over the past year, a chorus of voices has called for Saudi Arabia to protect the Sunni community in Iraq + thwart Iranian influence there.

The implication is clear. If American soldiers vacate, Iraq turns into the staging area for a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. And what would happen then?

13.Dec.2006 : Bush Is ‘Very Seriously’ Considering Sending More Troops To Iraq - Nico -

’s John King reported this afternoon that President Bush is planning a “substantial policy shift” on Iraq and is “very seriously considering…agreeing with Sen. John McCain and increasing U.S. troop levels in the short-term.”

King said the White House has postponed the announcement of the policy shift to January because Bush “has asked for more advice about” how he could send 20,000 additional U.S. troops to Iraq + administration officials “need more time to put all that on the table.”

King said the White House sees a political benefit to delaying the announcement. “If you are going to disagree with the Iraq Study Group and not accept its major recommendations, then let some time go by, let the American people forget about that a little bit” and “buy some time for critics” to attack the ISG.

KING: I talked to a number of senior administration officials today + also some of the outsiders who have been consulted by the administration as part of this review, including one retired general + they say they think the president wants more time for the reason Ed Henry just noted: because it’s not just one thing, you know, the whole litany — it’s not because of this or because of that. These officials all believe the president is planning to do something big. He is planning to do a substantial policy shift + one of the sources I spoke to says he believes the president is very seriously considering, in the short term, agreeing with Sen. John McCain and increasing U.S. troop levels in the short-term and also resisting the recommendations from the Iraq Study Group that he put on the table the idea that the United States would begin to withdraw troops. The retired generals have said they believe, like the active duty generals, that any talk of withdrawing troops is a bad idea + the president, we are told, has asked for more advice about, how could he do it? If he wanted to send in 20,000, 15,000 more troops for a few months to try to improve the situation, primarily in Baghdad, how would could that happen? So they need more time to put all that on the table. They need more time for the new defense secretary to study it. Another issue is this regional diplomacy. The president will not meet directly with Iran or Syria at a high level, but if they could pull off some sort of regional conference and essentially call the bluff of Iran and Syria, saying, “Can you come to the table with a serious proposal to help?” They think if the Iraqi government can do that, that might help as well. They’re also worried, Wolf, you’ve seen all these reports. Is the Iraqi government in trouble? Is there stirring up within Iraq against the Maliki government? So,the main reasons are policy questions what the president will do, but they’re also watching warily what is happening in Baghdad.

BLITZER: What about domestic politics, because as you know, some Democrats already suspicious that the president is going to delay the speech, not necessarily for strictly policy reasons, but maybe politics might be at play.

KING: What senior administration officials say is it is policy, policy, policy. The president is looking at big changes and he needs to get this right, so he is going to take the time necessary. But they also do believe there is a political benefit. You might get criticism now, as you just heard Dana say, from the Democrats. Why not before Christmas? But they believe there is a political benefit. If you are going to disagree with the Iraq Study Group and not accept its major recommendations, then let some time go by, let the American people forget about that a little bit, buy some time for critics. And you can the Wall Street Journal editorial page, other conservatives attacking, attacking, attacking the findings of the Iraq Study Group. Let that criticism take hold, especially if you are going to say, thank you for your report but I don’t agree with that much of it.

13.Dec.2006 Tony Snow: There Is A ‘Sense Of Crisis Of Confidence In Government’ - Faiz -

This morning, a USA Today/Gallup poll reported that fewer than 20 percent of Americans have “a great deal” of trust in President Bush to “recommend the right thing” for the United States to do in Iraq. The poll found that confidence in congressional leaders to chart the proper course is even lower, at 14 percent. A separate CBS News poll reported a record-low 21 percent approve of Bush’s handling of the war.

At the White House press conference this afternoon, Press Secretary Tony Snow was forced to acknowledge that the administration’s handling of Iraq has caused a “crisis of confidence” in government:

Whatever the discontent may be with the president, the level of confidence in Congress is even lower. And what you have is the sense of crisis of confidence in government.

Full transcript below:

QUESTION: Does the president believe there is within the American public — that they would accept sending more troops to Iraq?

SNOW: Again, what you’re trying to do under the guise of an opinion question is to ask me a policy option.

Let me put it this way: The president believes that in putting together a way forward he will be able to address a lot of the concerns that the American public has, the most important of which is, What is your plan for winning?

The other thing is that there’s an opportunity here also for Democrats and Republicans to work together. Whatever the discontent may be with the president, the level of confidence in Congress is even lower. And what you have is the sense of crisis of confidence in government.

13.Dec.2006 Rumsfeld: ‘It Is Not A War on Terror’ - Payson -

In a new interview posted on Townhall.com, conservative columnist Cal Thomas asks outgoing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, “With what you know now, what might you have done differently in Iraq?” Rumsfeld offers a remarkable response:

I don’t think I would have called it the war on terror. I don’t mean to be critical of those who have. Certainly, I have used the phrase frequently. Why do I say that? Because the word ‘war’ conjures up World War II more than it does the Cold War. It creates a level of expectation of victory and an ending within 30 or 60 minutes of a soap opera. It isn’t going to happen that way. Furthermore, it is not a ‘war on terror.’ Terror is a weapon of choice for extremists who are trying to destabilize regimes and (through) a small group of clerics, impose their dark vision on all the people they can control. So ‘war on terror’ is a problem for me.

Rumsfeld not only used the phrase ‘war on the terror’; he repeatedly criticized anyone who questioned the validity of it.

– “[T]here has been comment in the press of late about whether or not we’re even engaged in a war on terror, or whether our purpose might be better explained in a different manner. Let there be no mistake, we are a nation at war, against terrorist enemies who are seeking our surrender or our retreat. It is a war.” [8/2/05]

– “I would like to say that Iraq is really one of the battle grounds in the global war on terror.” [4/24/06]

– “Iraq is the central front of the global war on terror.” [12/16/05]

– Q: My argument is that we are fighting the war on terror in Iraq. Back me up a little bit on that, Mr. Secretary.
RUMSFELD: Well, you’re absolutely right. [8/3/04]

– “[Iraq is] part of the global war on terror; let there be no doubt.” [9/10/03]

– Q: Do you feel that the Administration by turning its attention onto Iraq would be leaving the job undone a bit too soon?
RUMSFELD: Oh, no. Indeed that’s part of the global war on terrorism, Iraq. [12/4/02]

Rumsfeld’s outgoing memo on Iraq - which calls for a “major adjustment” in strategy - makes no mention of the one thing he would have “done differently” on Iraq.

13.Dec.2006 Tom DeLay: I Don’t Write My Own Blog - _{Think Progress} -

Criminally indicted ex-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) launched a personal blog yesterday.

The new site seemed to mark a shift for DeLay: last year, he said he found the fact that Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy “does his own research on the Internet” to be “just incredibly outrageous.” Now, DeLay says he wants to “be a role model that leaders ought to have their own blog.”

During an appearance last night on MSNBC, DeLay was asked about the mechanics of writing for his new blog. “Well, I’m not a very good writer,” DeLay acknowledged. “I have the ideas + I have somebody else put the words together.” Apparently he still isn’t interested in doing research on the Internet.

Watch it: Digg It! Full transcript:

BARNICLE: TomDeLay.com, right? Is that — is that the blog?

DELAY: That’s new today. Yes. That’s my blog that we came out with today. And we’re very pleased with it. We’re getting a lot of comments and a lot of hits on it.

BARNICLE: So, like, do you get up first thing in the morning and start blogging away? Or what do you do?

DELAY: Well, I’m not a very good writer. I have the ideas + I have somebody else put the words together. But yes, we’re going to post a lot during the day. And we’re going to respond to questions and comments.

And it’s — the conservatives need to push back on communications + we need to compete, instead of…

BARNICLE: You’ve got to be kidding me.

DELAY: No.

BARNICLE: I mean, look at — you’ve got Rush Limbaugh out there.

DELAY: Oh, yes. Radio talk shows are great.

BARNICLE: You mean conservative bloggers?

DELAY: In any media. If there’s a blogosphere, we are sorely lacking in enough conservative bloggers to offset the liberal bloggers that are there. And I want to set — be a role model that the leaders ought to have their own blog + they ought to talk to people around the country on these blogs.
13.Dec.2006 Bush Turns To Expert Advisers Who Slam Phased Withdrawal, Advocate Escalation In Iraq - _{Think Progress} -

Yesterday, President Bush solicited the advice of five outside advisers on how to change course in Iraq. The group included Johns Hopkins Professor Eliot Cohen; Jack Keane, a retired army chief of staff; Stephen Biddle, a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations; Ret. Gen. Barry McCaffrey; and Ret. Gen. Wayne Downing.

The Washington Post reported the advisers “shared the White House’s skeptical view of the recommendations made last week by the bipartisan Iraq Study Group” and “disagreed in particular with the study group’s plans to reduce the number of U.S. combat troops in Iraq.” Below is a more detailed analysis of their positions: ELIOT COHEN

– Critical of ISG Report: “I thought both the process was flawed + the substance was flawed.” [MTP, 12/10/06]
– In Favor of Escalation: “I would [tell President Bush] in terms of broad strategy, we are clearly at a crossroads…and, honestly, I’d rather win than control the narrative at the moment. …[To ‘win’], I suspect we’re probably talking about 20,000 or 30,000, something along those lines, a much more substantial kind of increase.” [MTP, 12/10/06] JACK KEANE

– Critical of ISG Report: Gave the ISG report an “F” and said of the report, “I think it is wholly inadequate. It’s a cover story to accept defeat.” [ABC, 12/11/06]
– In Favor of Escalation: “Keane is one of more than 150 experts the study group has interviewed + he recommends that 40,000 additional U.S. troops be sent to secure Baghdad.” [ABC News, 11/12/06] STEPHEN BIDDLE

– Critical of ISG report: “Another outside adviser, Stephen Biddle of the Council on Foreign Relations, said the study group seemed to put a higher priority on getting out of Iraq than on stabilizing it.” [McClatchy, 12/12/06]
– Open to Escalation: “If you could get a political deal by saturating Iraq with American troops, then it might make sense to do it even if you do fall to much lower levels afterward. But I haven’t heard anybody put forth an argument about what these troops are going to do while they’re there that will bring that about.” [SF Chron, 12/3/06] BARRY McCAFFREY

– Critical of ISG Report: “They came up with a political thought but then got to tinkering with tactical ideas that in my view don’t make any sense. … This is a recipe for national humiliation.” [NYT, 12/7/06]
– Opposed to Escalation: “[S]hould we reinforce with more US combat units? I think my answer clearly is no.” [NBC Nightly News, 12/11/06] WAYNE DOWNING

– No Public Position On ISG Report: “Retired Gen. Wayne Downing…doesn’t appear to have taken a public position on the report.” [McClatchy, 12/12/06]
– Opposed To Escalation: “There is not a military victory. That is not in the cards. … More Americans are not going to solve this problem. In fact, they’re going to make it worse.” [MTP, 11/26/06]

Incoming Senate Intelligence Committee chair Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) plans to complete the three unreleased sections of their “Phase Two” report on the Bush administration’s use of prewar intelligence. Rockefeller told The Hill the report is “headed for circulation next year.” “One does not want to spend all one’s time looking back,” Rockefeller said, “but the history of all this evolution of the war has to be brought to full accountability.”
13.Dec.2006 O’Reilly: Annan Should Have Thanked U.S. For Spending ‘Billions To Keep Him In Fancy Suits’ - Amanda -

Last night, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly attacked U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan’s farewell speech at the Truman Library in Missouri. O’Reilly said that instead of offering any criticism of the Bush administration, Annan should have talked about “why the United States is a really noble country,” how “it tried to do some good in Iraq,” and thanked the United States for spending billions of dollars to keep him “in fancy suits and expense account dinners and lunches.”

Watch it:

Annan’s speech wasn’t without praise for the United States. He thanked the United States for offering the “world an example of a democracy in which everyone, including the most powerful, is subject to legal restraint,” and noted that it has “historically been in the vanguard of the global human rights movement.” But he also called on the country to offer “far-sighted American leadership.”

Intolerance for any criticism is what caused many of the problems in Iraq.

Transcript:

BILL O’REILLY: Why doesn’t he get up and say let me tell you why the United States is a really noble country and it tried to do some good in Iraq and it’s decimated al Qaeda and they can’t kill nearly as many people as they used to be able to kill? Why don’t we say something good about the USA that spent billions of dollars to keep Annan in fancy suits and expense account dinners and lunches?

KIRSTEN POWERS: Well, because he doesn’t think that and a lot of people don’t think that, so I think that his criticism —

O’REILLY: He doesn’t think that? Despite the overwhelming evidence it’s true.
13.Dec.2006 Contradicting Bush, Rumsfeld Claims He Was Replaced Because Of ‘The Outcome Of The Election’ - Judd -

Yesterday on Hannity and Colmes, outgoing Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said that he was removed as a direct result of the “outcome of the election.” Watch it:

08.Nov.2006 Bush said explicitly that, regardless of the outcome of the election, Rumsfeld was out:

BUSH: And so he and I both agreed in our meeting yesterday that it was appropriate that I accept his resignation. And so the decision was made — actually, I thought we were going to do fine yesterday. Shows what I know. But I thought we were going to be fine in the election. My point to you is, is that, win or lose, Bob Gates was going to become the nominee.

Someone isn’t telling the truth.

Transcript:

HANNITY: What happened this time, though?

RUMSFELD: I think that this time the outcome of the election, just to put it right up on the table, created a situation where I personally believe + the president agrees, it is better for someone else to be leading this department with that new Congress. And it’s better for the military; it’s better for the department; and it’s better for the administration. And I feel comfortable with that.
13.Dec.2006 December 12, 2006 - _{Think Progress} -

Democratic congressional leaders announced yesterday they plan to “ place a moratorium on all earmarks until lobbying changes are enacted.”

President Bush met yesterday with three retired generals and two academics who disagreed with the Iraq Study Group’s plan “to reduce the number of U.S. combat troops in Iraq and to reach out for help to Iran and Syria.”

It is another sign “ the president is gathering support for a new plan that ignores several of the bipartisan committee’s recommendations.”

The group of experts “also recommended the president make some changes in his national security team,” which is “‘likely to fuel Pentagon rumors‘ that Marine Gen. Peter Pace will be removed as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”

“The founding pastor of a second Colorado church has resigned over gay sex allegations ,” the AP reports, “just weeks after the evangelical community was shaken by the scandal surrounding megachurch leader Ted Haggard,” a long-time opponent of gay marriage.

Bienvenido a Miami, Rep. Tancredo. “After drawing criticism from Florida lawmakers for calling Miami a third-world country, Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) will visit the city Thursday to speak on ‘The Need for Assimilation,’” The Hill reports. Tancredo agreed to visit Miami only if the trip included “a stay at a five-star beachfront resort.”

In the wake of a House ethics committee report that found the Foley scandal represented a “present danger to House pages and to the integrity of the institution of the House,” incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said yesterday that she will introduce legislation to increase oversight of the page program .

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation pledged another $83.5 million to fight malaria . “All totaled,” the Gates Foundation “the Microsoft Corp. chairman and world’s richest man + his wife, Melinda, has donated $765 million to fight malaria, which kills one person every 30 seconds.”

In a recent interview, Rep. Silvestre Reyes (D-TX), the incoming House intelligence committee chairman, could not identify the Muslim roots of Hezbollah and al Qaeda . Asked by a reporter whether al Qaeda was Sunni or Shiite, Reyes replied incorrectly, “Predominantly — probably Shiite.” Other members on the committee and several top counterterrorism officials also failed the quiz.

“Ice is melting so fast in the Arctic that the North Pole will be in the open sea in 30 years ,” a team of NASA-funded scientists found. “Researchers assessing the impact of carbon emissions on the world’s climate have calculated that late summer in the Arctic will be ice-free by 2040 or earlier - well within a lifetime.”

Subject: MSNBC VIDEO: Moussaoui wore 'stun belt' for new testimony < https://www.total911.info/2006/03/msnbc-video-moussaoui-wore-stun-belt.html >

If you're looking for a reason why Zacarias Moussaoui suddenly testified today to a version of the 9/11 plotline that sounds more like the Official story than even the official Whitewash Commission report, this video may have the answer <https://total911.info/zackmstun.wmv >.

In it, NBC news reporter Pete Williams lets slip that Moussaoui is wearing a "Stun belt" underneath his clothing controlled by US Marshals. MSNBC host Dan Abrams gets some more details on the stun belt.

A taste of the exchange:

WILLIAMS: The old outbursts were gone... He was very docile today...

We believe that he's wearing one of those stun belts + it may be that he was very worried about doing anything that would cause those Marshals to press the button....

ABRAMS:

A stun belt?

They literally have sOmething around his waist?

That they can push a button and?

WILLIAMS: [Pause] Well...

Only in 21st-century Amerika!

The banking environment is a communication-based environment, where rumors about companies spread quickly + die quickly.

Banking people are up to their necks in rumors.

Given the environment, they have to take rumors with a grain of salt until they have hopped on the phone + spoken with six colleagues who can help them evaluate the purported facts.
12.Dec.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/} This is not the first time he has suddenly resigned an important post. As some of you will recall, he quit his job as Saudi intelligence chief just before the attack on the World Trade Center.
The Prince was a controversial choice as ambassador, to say the least. According to a number of sources (including Craig Unger's House of Bush, House of Saud ), Osama Bin Laden was once Prince Turki's protege.
(To read the rest, click "Permalink" below)
Prince Turki belonged to a mysterious power group called The Safari Club, founded -- according to one account -- by then-DCI George H.W. Bush and Sheikh Kamal Adham, Turki's uncle and predecessor as Saudi intelligence chief. We have looked at this group before. In a public speech, the Prince admitted that this "club" was an off-the-reservation covert action ring, unaccountable to any democratic government: In 1976, after the Watergate matters took place here, your intelligence community was literally tied up by Congress. It could not do anything... In order to compensate for that, a group of countries got together in the hope of fighting Communism and established what was called the Safari Club. The Safari Club included France, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Iran. This quote appears in Joseph Trento's Prelude to Terror . Trento adds that the Safari Club, through Pakistan, ran the anti-Soviet effort in Afghanistan -- which is to say, it created Osama Bin Laden's network. The Club also funded A.Q. Kahn's nuclear hijinks in Pakistan.
Note that Prince Turki made reference to France. This page has an interesting squib connecting the Safari Club with a group called the Pinay Circle, also called Le Cercle Violet, first exposed in the pages of Robin Ramsey's periodical Lobster . (At least, that's where I first learned about Pinay.)
A secret intelligence group that is often named in one breath with the Pinay Circle is the Safari Club. Some people claim this group was the precursor to the Pinay Circle, but this cannot be true. As far as we know, the Safari Club was created in 1976 in Paris by Pinay Circle members Alexandre de Marenches and Kermit Roosevelt. Marenches was head of the French foreign intelligence service SDECE from 1970 to 1981. The Safari Club seemed to have had largely the same role as the Pinay Circle (keeping the communists at bay at all costs) and among its members were the Shah of Iran, Saddam Hoessein of Iraq, Anwar Sadat of Egypt, Ashraf Marwan of the Egyptian intelligence + Kamal Adham of the BCCI scandal). After the Shah was kicked out of Iran documents surfaced revealing the existence of the Club. We thus have two creation myths for this group. Incidentally, the Kermit Roosevelt mentioned here is Teddy's grandson, Kermit "Kim" Roosevelt, Jr. (Perhaps this connection explains Karl Rove's T.R. fixation?)
Some observers believe that, back in the 1970s and '80s, the secretive Pinay Circle engineered successful covert actions against such liberal Western leaders as Harold Wilson in the U.K. and Jimmy Carter in the United States. De Marenches, the late head of French intelligence, confessed his participation in the "October Surprise" which unseated Jimmy Carter.
Yikes. I've wandered, haven't I? Back to Prince Turki.
Not long after the 9/11 attacks, a few published reports accused him of materially aiding Osama Bin Laden's terror network. The Prince has always vehemently insisted that he had cut Osama loose some years before. However, this long and fascinating essay by Paul W. Rasche argues that Turki still maintained a relationship with Bin Laden and the Taliban: The Faisal Islamic Bank of Saudi Arabia is the head bank of a number of affiliated Islamic banks under the name across the Islamic world from Egypt to Pakistan to the Emirates and Malaysia. The head of Faisal Islamic Bank of Saudi Arabia is former Saudi intelligence chief, Turki al-Faisal. Faisal Islamic Bank is directly involved in running accounts for bin Laden and his associates + has been named by Luxembourg banking authorities in this regard. And: Turki al-Faisal himself maintained ongoing ties with bin Laden even after the latter fled Saudi Arabia in the mid-1990's after imprisonment by order of the King. It was Turki al-Faisal also who persuaded King Fahd to grant diplomatic recognition to the Taliban. Incidentally, the Rasche piece goes on to describe cooperation between Israel and Al Qaeda (!) in the "blood diamond" trade. You might want to read this section as preparation for the new film Blood Diamond, which, I am told, is quite good.
Yes, I know. I've wandered again.
Alas, a post of this sort is necessarily more of a brain dump than a structured essay. Still, if you root and snort through the debris, you might find a few data shards which will help you formulate your own thoughts regarding the Prince's strange decision.
One possibility: The Prince fears that a Democratic Congress will investigate some of the connections mentioned here. This theory presumes that the clueless House intel committee head Silvestre Reyes can extract his cranium from his anus long enough to learn how the world actually operates.
Another possibility: Big Wedding II is a-comin' + the Prince is getting out while the getting's good.
I prefer the first scenario. Permalink

Bilderberg 2006 Meeting

UPDATED: Bilderberg 2006 was hosted by Brook Street Resort a few miles from Ottawa, Canada, between the 8th - 11th of June.

Quote of the Week

"The threat of environmental crisis will be the 'international disaster key' that will unlock the New World Order." - Mikhail Gorbachev

Forscher von vier US-Universitäten haben mit modernen Klimamodellen errechnet, welchen Schaden der Rauch aus brennenden Städten, die Verschmutzung der Atmosphäre und der radioaktive Fallout eines solchen begrenzten Atomkriegs hätten.

Die Wissenschaftler haben einen Schlagabtausch vorausgesetzt, bei dem insgesamt 100 Atomwaffen mit einer Sprengkraft von 15 Kilotonnen TNT - was in etwa der Hiroshima-Bombe entspricht - zum Einsatz kommen.

Das Team um Owen Toon von der University of Colorado in Boulder hat zunächst den Schaden der nuklearen Detonationen in den Städten und die anschließende Freisetzung von Schmutzpartikeln in die Atmosphäre berechnet.

Demnach würden fünf Millionen Tonnen Dreck in die Luft gelangen, schreiben Toon und seine Kollegen im Fachblatt "Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussions".

Verheerende Klima-Anomalien

Wissenschaftler um Alan Robock von der Rutgers University in New Jersey haben anschließend mit diesen Daten ihre Klimarechner gefüttert. "In großen Teilen Nordamerikas und Eurasiens würde die Temperatur um mehrere Grad fallen", sagt Robock.

In den betroffenen Regionen liege auch der größte Teil der Getreideanbauflächen. Das Ergebnis erinnere an die Berechnungen zum nuklearen Winter aus den achtziger und neunziger Jahren. Robock:

"Selbst in Weltgegenden, die weitab vom Ort des Atomkriegs liegen, gäbe es große klimatische Folgen."

Tatsächlich scheint Resveratrol auf einen wichtigen Regelkreis zu wirken.

Diese Substanz sei "das erste Beispiel für einen Wirkstoff, der offenbar den gesamten Alterungsprozess beeinflussen kann", sagt Felipe Sierra vom National Institute on Aging im amerikanischen Bethesda.

Die Grundlage dafür wurde Anfang der neunziger Jahre in Guarentes Labor am MIT geschaffen.

Dort studierten die Forscher Hefezellen, die besonders lange lebten: aufgrund einer genetischen Veränderung, wie sich herausstellte.

Der Australier Sinclair stieß 1995 zu Guarentes Forschungsgruppe und entdeckte alsbald, was dieses ominöse Gen macht:

Es stellt ein Enzym her, welches das Erbgut schützt und auf diese Weise die Hefezellen länger leben lässt.

Guarente wiederum erkannte, dass dieses Enzym direkt an den Stoffwechsel gekoppelt ist:

In Zeiten von Nahrungsmangel schaltet der Organismus das Schutz-Enzym an - und lebt dadurch länger.
12.Dec.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,druck-453747,00.html

Fasten verlängert das Leben - das haben Forscher zuvor schon an Hefezellen, Spinnen, Fliegen, Fischen, Mäusen und Ratten gesehen.

Sie nennen diese Diät "kalorische Restriktion" und haben es auf eine grobe Formel gebracht:

Wer 30 bis 50 % weniger frisst, der lebt 30 bis 50 % länger. Und wichtiger noch: Krankheiten wie Diabetes Typ 2, Krebs, Schlaganfall und Demenz treten unter fastenden Tieren viel seltener oder später auf - das Altwerden geschieht häufig bei bester Gesundheit.

Die kalorische Restriktion schaltet offenbar einen uralten Überlebensmechanismus an; betroffene Organismen lassen es ruhiger angehen. Die Körpertemperatur von Rhesusaffen etwa sinkt um 0,5 Grad Celsius; die verbleibenden Kräfte werden darauf verwendet, Schäden in den Zellen zu reparieren

In effect, this healthy societal setup provided an almost cash-less, wage-less existence and secure retirement. For the wage-slave majority of today this is a bygone world

FAS: The Public Interest Declassification Board was established by Congress in 2000 "to promote the fullest possible public access to a thorough, accurate + reliable documentary record of significant United States national security decisions." (FY 2001 Intelligence Authorization Act, Section 703). Six years later, it has still done no such thing. In its first practical test, members of Congress asked the Board to review the classification of two recent reports on pre-war Iraq intelligence to determine if more of the text could be disclosed. But the Board concluded that it could not proceed without White House approval, which was not forthcoming...

12.Dec.2006 Snow Dismisses Gordon Smith’s Criticisms Of Iraq Policy, Says Senator Is Just Being ‘Emotional’ - Amanda -

Last week, Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR) — who originally supported the war in Iraq — delivered a scathing indictment of President Bush’s policy in Iraq, stating it “may even be criminal.” Yesterday on ABC This Week he called it a “dereliction” and “deeply immoral.”

The administration isn’t taking him very seriously. Today, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow dismissed the comments, stating that “politics are emotional.” When the reporter questioned whether Snow was “saying Republican Senator Smith is not in favor of democracy,” Snow replied, “I don’t know.” Watch it: Digg It! Transcript:

QUESTION: You’re just going to blow it off. A Republican senator is saying that president’s policy may be criminal and it’s immoral and you’re just saying…

SNOW: What would you like me to say? Should I…

QUESTION: Don’t you think you should answer for that? You’re saying — you said from this podium over and over that the strategy is victory, right?

SNOW: And it continues to be.

QUESTION: And you have a Republican senator saying there is no clear strategy, that you don’t have a strategy.

SNOW: Well, let’s let Senator Smith hear what the president has to say. We understand that this is a time where politics are emotional in the wake of an election. And you know what? Senator Smith is entitled to his opinion.

But I’m not sure exactly what you would like…

QUESTION: How about answering the central thrust about the strategy, not about…

SNOW: OK, the strategy’s pretty simple. If you take a look, for instance — if you take a look at the Baker-Hamilton commission report, what do they talk about?

They talk about building greater capability on the part of the Iraqis, so that you can have an Iraqi government that governs itself, sustains itself, defends itself, is an ally in the war on terror, is a democracy.

I don’t think it’s immoral to be a democracy. I don’t think it’s immoral to have state that is able to stand up and defend itself against acts of terror. I don’t think it’s immoral to defend the Iraqi people against acts of terrorism aimed at Muslims.

QUESTION: And the senator’s not saying that’s immoral. He’s saying that the U.S. — he’s saying, of course…

SNOW: That’s the U.S. policy. You know what? I’ll tell you what. You’re engaging in an argument + you’re trying to fill in the gaps…

QUESTION: It’s a Republican senator saying it, not me. And he’s not — of course he’s in favor of democracy.

SNOW: I understand that. Then tell me exactly…

QUESTION: Are you saying Republican Senator Smith is not in favor of democracy?

SNOW: Well, I don’t know.
