Well, this doesn't have anything to do with Mondragon. Its a major step for the USA, for it agreed with the other 189 signers of the NPT and to make the Middle East a Nuclear free zone.

(Well after further research this is as great as it first sounded.)

Here is what I mean. Speaks for itself.

Now here is a real solution to clean up the Gulf, right after that CEO plugs the hole with that Sub Sandwich.

It eats up the oil and leaves stuff for nature to eat, while cleaning the water too. Its worked in Texas. Some get on the phone to BP, and the Gulf.

Well Folks, this Finklestein video is almost an hour long. Yet we should thank the heavens that his isn't in jail for life, or dead. For he gives clear picture of what happened in Gaza, from Dec 08- Jan 09.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpMpHgw7yVk

Israel is going to Court for the crime it committed last night on an un-armed Ship Convoy bring aid to Gaza. It killed at least 20... with over 50 injured, then also lied about being fired upon!

Editorial from the Boston Globe

Its not Scott Brown's fault that the Tea Party movement anti-government ideology conflicts with its anti-regulation rhetoric. When the Republican Senator voted recently to let a financial regulation bill advance in the Senate, many Tea Party activists viewed him as a traitor. As one leader complained to the Globe, “His career as a Sneator of the people lasted slightly longer than the shelf life of milk.” In fact, Brown's vote served the public interest. What is surprising is that the Tea Party movement which was fueled by outrage over the 2008 bailout, would end up on the same side as Wall Street.

The 2008 crises plainly showed why big financial firms need more supervision. Left to their own devices, investment banks created complex derivatives that concealed risks & pumped vast sums of money into unsustainable mortgages. For that Reason, the new bill would ramp up regulation of derivatives.

But Tea Partiers ( I like all partiers.) & others galvanized by anger over the financial meltdown have somehow ended up embracing them who would give Wall Steet Licence to wreck greater havoc. Its an impressive con job. Candidates whose real agenda is a deregulated market are claiming the mantle of the anti-bailout movement.

If small government ideology hadn't gotten the better of the Tea Partiers, they could have helped persuade congressional Repulicans to take a harder line on Wall Street, thereby preventing future bailouts. In any case, Tea Party activists shouldn't be attacking Brown; they should be thanking him.

:mrgreen: :P

Raid on Gaza flotilla could also take momentum away from Iran pressure

Analysis
By Glenn Kessler

updated 12:26 a.m. ET, Tues., June 1, 2010

The worldwide condemnation of the deadly Israeli assault on the Gaza aid flotilla will complicate the Obama administration's efforts to improve its tense relations with Jerusalem and will probably distract from the push to sanction Iran over its nuclear program.
The timing of the incident is remarkably bad for Israel and the United States. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and President Obama were scheduled to meet Tuesday in Washington as part of a "kiss and make up" session. The United Nations, meanwhile, was set to begin final deliberations on Iran in the weeks ahead.
Now the White House talks have been scrubbed, Israel's actions were the subject of an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting Monday and the administration increasingly faces a difficult balancing act as Israel's diplomatic isolation deepens.
In contrast with forceful statements from European, Arab and U.N. officials — and impromptu demonstrations from Athens to Baghdad — the White House responded to the assault Monday by saying only that Obama had held a phone conversation with Netanyahu in which the prime minister expressed "deep regret at the loss of life" and "the importance of learning all the facts and circumstances around this morning's tragic events."
Hours later, the State Department issued a statement saying that the United States remains "deeply concerned by the suffering of civilians in Gaza" and "will continue to engage the Israelis on a daily basis to expand the scope and type of goods allowed into Gaza."
Even before Monday's incident, Israel was on shaky diplomatic ground. After the government was accused of using forged foreign passports in the assassination of a Palestinian militant in Dubai, Britain expelled an Israeli diplomat in March. Australia did the same last week.
'Terrible for Israel-Turkey relations'
The latest furor may have caused irreparable harm to Israel's relations with Turkey — a Muslim state with which Israel has long had close ties — because so many of those onboard were Turkish. At the United Nations, Turkey's foreign minister urged the Security Council to condemn Israel's raid and set up a formal inquiry to hold those responsible for it accountable.
"This is terrible for Israel-Turkey relations," Namik Tan, the Turkish ambassador to the United States, said in an interview. "I am really saddened by it."
Tan, who served as ambassador to Israel from 2007 through 2009, said Israel's actions demand condemnation from every country because the flotilla incident took place in international waters and involved civilians on a humanitarian mission. But he said the Obama administration's initial statement was wanting. "We would have expected a much stronger reaction than this," he said.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu will be in Washington on Tuesday to discuss Iran with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, but Turkey's fury over the Gaza incident will inevitably top the agenda.
Daniel Levy, a former Israeli peace negotiator now at the New America Foundation in Washington, said it's not the first time Israel has done itself a disservice.
"Israel constantly claims it wants the world to focus on Iran, but then it ends up doing something that gets everyone to focus on itself," he said.
Focus on humanitarian situation
Apart from the raid, attention is likely to fall on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, which has faced an Israeli blockade since the Hamas militant group seized power three years ago. Although the Obama administration has pressed quietly for less onerous restrictions on trade, it has not questioned Israeli policies. Special envoy George J. Mitchell has never visited Gaza in about a dozen trips to Israel and the Palestinian territories.
Without high-level attention, the situation in Gaza — a narrow coastal area with 1.5 million people — has faded from view. Now that might change.
Robert Malley, Middle East director for the International Crisis Group, said Monday's deaths were a consequence of ignoring the "unhealed wound that is Gaza."
In condemning Israel's actions Monday, European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton signaled that the European Union would press anew for a shift in policy. "The E.U. does not accept the continued policy of closure," she said in a statement. "It is unacceptable and politically counterproductive. We need to urgently achieve a durable solution to the situation in Gaza."
'High on Obama's agenda'
Malley said U.S. officials have told him that the situation in Gaza "is very high on Obama's agenda." Obama highlighted Gaza in his Cairo speech a year ago, saying, "Just as it devastates Palestinian families, the continuing humanitarian crisis in Gaza does not serve Israel's security."
In that speech, Obama appeared to appeal to Palestinians to undertake acts of civil disobedience rather than violence, saying that it was "not violence that won full and equal rights" for African Americans but "a peaceful and determined insistence."
Whether the flotilla was an act of civil disobedience remains up for debate. Its organizers said it was, but Israeli officials said members of the Israel Defense Forces were met with violence when they boarded the ships.
Not only has the incident strengthened the Islamist Hamas, it has probably weakened the secular Palestinian leadership on the West Bank. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas quickly condemned the attack as a "massacre," but he will probably face new pressure to abandon indirect talks with Israel.
Iran, whose nuclear ambitions deeply concern Israeli leaders, also is a beneficiary. Turkey holds one of the rotating seats on the U.N. Security Council and was already deeply skeptical of the U.S.-led push to impose new sanctions on the Islamic republic. But now the council's attention will be diverted by the Israeli assault.

The whole Middle East is going to come to a boil. There is another Ship on its way to Gaza and Israels they will use more force this time. They are going to keep sailing and sailing until they bring relief to Gaza.

This says Israel fired before hit the deck.

http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2010/06/01-3

Israel is sealing its own fate. There days are numbered.

I've heard a rumor that the next ship sailing to Gaza, will have a Warship from Turkey by its side.

Yet them Convoys are going to keep sailing there, until they are let in.

Peace arlonuts: I surely would not insult you, by calling the 800,000 loony-tunes on beckheads facebook fan page, nuts. I'm glad that there are enough trolls, as the loony-tunes call them, to take over for... though I will make 1 post there a day.

This song always meant the World 2 me: "I saw the destiny of Nations on Tv. I didn't want to miss it, so I didn't got to sleep. It really was exciting, to watch the whole world turn to rust. (Though i don't have a tv)
But I wouldn't be human and made out of this dust. If I thought that I knew, that the way to get across to you, was this high and winding stairs, I'd be there."

& the count-down for those who have (or do now) stood for peace, to receive those kingdoms in Daniel 7; ...has gotten down to days numbered.

1.5 Million in an open air prison.

Which is about as big a threat to Israel, as Grenada was too US.

I wish I knew a way for the Cletics to have run out 1.6024 of a second and come out ahead. They played their hearts out, missed a couple tough shots, maybe got a bad call or too. But I am proud how they played.

Besides that: I'm not running for office; well if I lived in Lemon-minister, I could be State Rep in Massatack, or is is Axachusetts.

I really forget...

All of the solutions I can think of, are posted here in this Topic.

:mrgreen:

ps.
mg how have you been? You must get my 1st and 2rd additions of my Paper News Letter. Its just called News Letter after how the Band got their name The Band.-even after playing for Dylan for years.

The News Letter.

:mrgreen: :?: :P

Its free unless you can laugh enough without empty pockets.

:evil:

I'm already against the next war which they are about to try and sell us against Iran. Lets take this song by these kids, and sing it like we have never sung before.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k76sVyPL8Hw

Hell, I've heard Iran made a deal with Turkey and Brazil to send their radio-active stuff... for Peaceful purposes, to Brazil.

:mrgreen: :twisted: :evil:
