  US REFUSES TO EXTRADITE THIS CRIMINAL

I lied because I was taught by the CIA, says Posada Carriles http://www.ain.cubaweb.cu/idioma/ingles/2010/0130posada.htm

The attorney Jose Pertierra denounced the confessed terrorist Luis Posada Carriles argued before the Federal Court of El Paso, that his long years of work with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had misled him, confused him and that he was suffering from memory loss.

Pertierra says that the government wants to exclude from trial all evidence of the relationship of Posada Carriles with the CIA, saying that it was not relevant and that is confidential. That's because, clarifies Pertierra, Washington knows Posada has much to say and it is trying to limit the testimony and evidence as much as possible in order to prevent the crimes committed by Posada Carriles through decades of work for the CIA from coming to light. There are declassified CIA cables and confessions of the perpetrators of the crime which state that Posada masterminded the bombing of a Cubana airliner Aviation on October 6th 1976, when 73 people died, the lawyer recalled. He also recalled that Venezuela filed a request for his extradition in June 2005 and it is still pending without the White House answering to it, and that Posada confessed to The New York Times in 1998, that he orchestrated a terrorist campaign against the hotels and restaurants in Havana.

In previous documents, Posada claimed that everything he did in Latin America was "on behalf of Washington"; he knows that the more he threatens to tell of his relationship with the CIA, the more trembling from those who hide the skeletons in Washington, says Pertierra.In order to convince Judge Cardone that his relationship with the CIA is relevant to the process in which they accuse him of being a liar, Posada's defense is that the CIA taught him how to lie, concluded the lawyer

Venezuela's PDVSA, Italy's ENI seal $17 billion Orinoco Oil Joint Venture http://www.laht.com/article.asp?ArticleId=351190&CategoryId=10717

Scaroni, meanwhile, described as a dream come true ENI's share in the joint venture, in which PDVSA will have 60% of the shares. The companies will operate a 424-square-kilometer (164-square-mile) area of the Junin 5 block and could begin producing roughly 75,000 barrels of crude per day in 2014.

Chavez noted that the US Geological Survey recently put the amount of recoverable heavy crude in the Orinoco Belt at 513 billion barrels, meaning Venezuela holds the world's biggest oil reserves. That US government agency said in its assessment, released Friday, that that oil region of eastern Venezuela was the largest accumulation its technicians had ever assessed.

PDVSA had earlier estimated that the Orinoco Belt had 1.3 trillion barrels of oil but that only 280 billion was technically recoverable. But the USGS study, the first to provide a precise estimate of the amount of oil technically recoverable with current technology and methods, says the area is twice as crude-rich and therefore puts Venezuela's reserves well ahead of Saudi Arabia's total of 266 billion barrels.

French owners of Exito hyper-markets make Chavez surprise offer of joint venture  http://www.vheadline.com/readnews.asp?id=87969

During the opening of round table talks with business sectors, President Chavez revealed that the owners of the recently expropriated Exito hyper-markets, namely the French Casino Group, have made a business proposal.Chavez commented that the Casino group is annoyed with their managers in Venezuela for re-marking prices of products and speculating. The group apparently wants to enter into a joint venture with the government. Chavez has admitted that he is assessing the situation.

Speaking to Venezuelan business people, Chavez confirmed that he is offering them joint ventures in which the State will guarantee imports at $1/Bs.F 2.60. He has also said he would lower interest rates for those requesting and getting credit from the Bicentenary Fund.At Miraflores Palace, Chavez spoke to Federation of Industry (Fedeindustria) president, Miguel Perez Abad, Pork Farming chamber president, Alberto Cademus and the president of Ron (rum) Santa Teresa, Alberto Vollmer. There are around 2,800 business persons ready to join up to the government's substitution of imports plan.

The President declared that it is the right moment to "deepen the productive economic revolution and open up new spaces within the transition period from the old dependent, backward, exploiting capitalist model."Chavez told the businessmen that the government was moving towards hegemony of the social property of the means of production but he does not exclude private property.

Anti-Israelism: Why Zionism Doesnt and Cant Get It http://dissidentvoice.org/2010/01/anti-israelism-why-zionism-doesnt-and-cant-get-it/

There is no doubt about it. More and more people all over the world, and probably many of their governments behind closed doors, are beginning to see the Zionist state of Israel for what it really is – not only the obstacle to peace but a monster1 apparently beyond control; and they, more and more so-called ordinary folk everywhere, are beginning to turn against it.

U.S Speeding Up Missile Defenses in Persian Gulf  http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE60U18R20100131?type=politicsNews

The United States has been expanded land- and sea-based missile defense systems in and around the Persian Gulf to counter what it sees as Iran's growing missile threat, U.S. officials said.Obama announced a revised missile defense system last year that included the deployment of Aegis ships equipped with missile interceptors to help defend Europe and U.S. forces against Iranian rockets.The Obama administration said the decision to change plans was based mainly on technological developments and a shift in intelligence assessments to meet short- and medium-range missile threats posed by Iran.

US-PAKISTAN: FATA Aid Programme Largely a Flop, Audit Says http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=50167

A 45-million-dollar programme funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) that has been in place for nearly two years in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) has failed to develop local government agencies to ensure delivery of basic services, according to an audit by USAID's inspector general.

US firm kicked out of Peru mining group for pollution  http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100130/sc_afp/peruusminingenvironment

IMA (AFP) – Peru's mining, oil and energy association (SNMPE) said Saturday it has expelled US mining company Doe Run from its roster for not cleaning up its pollution problems, which environmentalists say are among the worst in the world.

"It has not shown... any willingness to comply with its environmental commitments and its obligations to the country, its workers, the La Oroya population and its creditors," SNMPE said in a statement.

Doe Run in 1997 took over La Oroya mining complex and the Cobriza copper mine in Peru's central Andean mountain region, where it mines for lead, copper, zinc, silver, gold and a series of byproducts including sulfuric acid.

EPA indicates Chevron was aware it violated Clean Air Act  http://www.mcclatchydc.com/256/story/82817.html

Search warrants served on two Cook Inlet oil facilities last week were based on federal environmental regulators' suspicions that Chevron Corp. had knowingly violated its air pollution permits and made false statements, court filings show.

An Anchorage federal court magistrate on Jan. 7 authorized the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Criminal Investigation Division to seize computers, files, photos and other records at Chevron's Trading Bay Production Facility and Granite Point Tank Farm.

Oil spilled at east Texas port as ships collide http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_OIL_SPILL?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=US

As much as 450,000 gallons of crude oil spilled in a southeast Texas port Saturday after two vessels collided, the U.S. Coast Guard said. No injuries have been reported, but part of the port has been closed and some nearby residents have been evacuated.

Port Arthur police Sgt. Ken Carona told television station KFDM that fewer than 100 people were evacuated from the area because of hydrogen sulfide - a hazardous gas with a rotten egg smell - that was emanating from the oil.

Are they that sick? Did US weather weapon destroy Haiti? http://www.sfbayview.com/2010/are-they-that-sick-did-u-s-weather-weapon-destroy-haiti/

I suspect the latter, and one of the reasons is oil. Let us not forget: Haiti has oil! Oil is one of the main components of the American g.o.d.: gold, oil and drugs. They will do anything for their god. The media is now playing up the scramble to help Haiti by Americans as a cover for what really went down and to keep people thinking the earthquake was a “natural disaster” when in fact HAARP created it either deliberately or unintentionally. This is my theory. Like the title of Charles Barkley’s book, “I may be wrong, but I doubt it.”

Bolivia Rejects Honduran New Government http://www.insidecostarica.com/dailynews/2010/january/31/latam-10013104.htm

Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca stated on Saturday that Evo Morales''s government would not recognize the new Honduran Executive of President elect Porfirio Lobo, because the Bolivian government rejects dictatorships.The Bolivian foreign minister also said his country would not change its stance, because its population has suffered military dictatorships in the past.

comment-Only 2 Latin American heads of state – Panama’s Ricardo Martinelli and the Dominican Republic’s Leonel Fernández — attended Lobo’s inauguration ceremony. The Obama administration sent State Department Latin American affairs chief Arturo Valenzuela.Also Uribe said his country is willing to continually strengthen cooperation with Honduras in trade as well as the fight against drug trafficking.

Morocco orders closure of opposition newspaper http://www.ww4report.com/node/8280

Moroccan authorities ordered closed the independent news magazine Le Journal Hebdomadaire and seized its assets this week, following what editors and press freedom advocates call a long campaign of harassment. 

Le Journal Hebdomadaire was dealt a devastating financial blow in 2006 when a Moroccan court ordered that it pay 3 million dirhams (US$354,000) damages in a defamation case filed by Claude Moniquet, head of the Brussels-based European Strategic Intelligence and Security Center. http://www.neoconeurope.eu/Foundation_for_the_Defense_of_DemocraciesMoniquet said Le Journal Hebdomadaire had defamed him in an article questioning his group's independence. The organization had issued a report on the disputed Western Sahara that the news magazine said closely reflected the official view of the Moroccan government.

Jamaï left the country after the 2006 court decision and a series of government-inspired cases of harassment against the news magazine. Harassment of Le Journal Hebdomadaire appeared to ease for a time. But when Jamaï returned to Morocco in 2009 and resumed his critical journalism, he said, the government intensified its efforts to have advertisers boycott Le Journal Hebdomadaire. In September 2009, the Supreme Court upheld the damage award in the Moniquet case.

"We condemn the strategy of using the courts to silence critical publications," said CPJ Middle East and North Africa Program coordinator Mohamed Abdel Dayem. CPJ wrote to King Mohamed VI in July 2009 to express disappointment with "the continuous use of the courts to suppress freedom of expression." (BBC World Service, Jan. 30; CPJ, Jan. 29)

RT-THE U.S. EXTENDS ITS MILITARY MIGHT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqykMKPyIE8

Drones and Death: The Israeli Connection http://dissidentvoice.org/2010/01/drones-and-death-the-israeli-connection/

But the US isn’t alone in developing and deploying drone technology. I became aware of Israel’s use of drones during its December 2008/January 2009 invasion of Gaza. Israel deploys two types of hunter/killer: the “Hermes,” produced by Elbit Systems Ltd, and the “Heron,” produced by the government-owned Israeli Aerospace Industries.

Recently – by Googling “Israeli drones” – I learned that Israel pioneered the drone and that Israel purveys that cutting edge weaponry throughout the world. As far back as 1982 Israel used drones against Syria. In the early nineties Israeli drones were used in the Kosovo campaign. Israeli drones invade the skies over Lebanon and patrol occupied West Bank and besieged Gaza. Israeli drones reportedly can reach Iran.

THE U.S. GAME IN HAITI/LATIN AMERICA  http://fromthewilderness.wordpress.com/2010/01/31/the-u-s-game-in-haitilatin-america/

US interference in the politics of Haiti and Honduras is only the latest example of its long-term manipulations in Latin America

People are not pollution: Population limits are not green http://www.greenleft.org.au/2010/824/42408

Wrong diagnosis, wrong cure The view that stopping immigration to wealthy countries is a good way to fight global warming rests on the simplistic idea that because immigrants come from countries with low per capita emissions to countries with high per capita emissions, they increase total emissions simply by moving. 

This argument is false on its face. To calculate “per capita emissions”, we simply divide a country’s total greenhouse gas emissions by its total population. This provides a useful baseline for comparing countries of different sizes — but it tells us nothing at all about the emissions that can actually be attributed to individuals. In fact, most emissions are caused by industrial and other processes over which individuals have no control. 

In Canada, for example, no change in the number of immigrants will have any effect on the oil extraction industry at the Alberta Tar Sands, described by George Monbiot as “the world’s biggest single industrial source of carbon emissions”.  Reducing immigration to the US will have no effect whatsoever on the massive military spending — up 50% in the past decade — which ensures that the Pentagon is the world’s biggest consumer of oil. To put that in context: a study published in March 2008 found that the CO2 emissions caused directly by the Iraq war until then were equivalent to putting 25 million more cars on the road in the US.

THE FATEFUL GEOLOGICAL PRIZE – HAITI http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=17287

According to Marguerite Laurent ('Ezili Dantò') of the Haitian Lawyers’ Leadership Network, under the guise of emergency relief work, the US, France and Canada are engaged in a balkanization of the island for future mineral control. She reports rumors that Canada wants the North of Haiti where Canadian mining interests are already present. The US wants Port-au-Prince and the island of La Gonaive just offshore –

an area identified in Aristide’s development book as having vast oil resources, and which is bitterly contested by France. She further states that China, with UN veto power over the de facto UN-occupied country, may have something to say against such a US-France-Canada carve up of the vast wealth of the nation.

Mexico's Narco Wars : Capos Bite Dust as Madness Continues  http://theragblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/mexicos-narco-wars-capos-bite-dust-as.html

Now, in a bold initiative to turn the tables on the narcos, the Mexican army is training spies to infiltrate the drug gangs and embed under deep cover. The only flaw in this innovative strategy is that the army unit from which the spies are being selected and trained, the Aero Mobile Special Forces Group or GAFES has itself been compromised by the drug cartels.

Trained at the Center for Special Forces in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, in drug war strategies in the late 1990s, dozens of GAFES deserted the military and joined the narco gangs, resurfacing in the early years of the decade as Los Zetas, dread enforcers for the Gulf Cartel who today enjoy full-blown cartel status themselves.

The cartels have not limited their reach to Mexican police agencies. U.S. Homeland Security's Border Protection and Customs Enforcement is prosecuting at least eight cases involving suspected drug cartel implants in their ranks. Mandated by Congress to boost agent numbers to 20,000 by 2010, Homeland Security launched an aggressive recruitment campaign along the border largely directed at Mexican-Americans, offering the drug gangs a golden opportunity to infiltrate their operators.

SENATE BURGLARY: CIA DOMESTIC BLACK-OP TEAM ARRESTED : False Flag Specialist Among Them http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/01/30/senate-burglary-cia-domestic-black-op-team-arrested/

Last week’s breakin at Senator Mary Landrieu’s office in the New Orleans Federal Building was more than it seemed, much more. All of the 4 arrested had been trained by the CIA and, possibly, Israel. One arrested, Stan Dai, is listed as an Operations Officer of the Department of Defense Irregular Warfare Program and a known expert and lecturer on, not only surveillance but explosives training, assassinations and “false flag operations.”

If you wanted a plane to crash, an enemy to get sick and die or a building to blow up, Dai would be the man to know how to make it happen. Problem is, his skills were being used as part of a criminal conspiracy inside the United States against members of our own government.

Original reports on the “break-in” were also wrong. One of those arrested was found blocks away with a covert receiver, managing the office bugs. The man in the car is identified as Stan Dai, Operations Officer for the Department of Defense Irregular Warfare Program:”one of the four was arrested with a listening device in a car blocks from the senator’s offices.” The FBI’s affidavit noted that Flanagan and Basel were in the building with O’Keefe, and a federal law enforcement official confirmed to AP that Dai was the one in the car.”

Americans arrested taking children out of Haiti http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE60T23I20100130

The five men and five women were in custody in the capital, Port-au-Prince after their arrests on Friday night. There are fears that traffickers could try to exploit the chaos and turmoil following Haiti's January 12 earthquake quake to engage in illegal adoptions.

One of the suspects, who says she is leader of an Idaho-based charity called New Life Children's Refuge, denied they had done anything wrong.

Detained in Oaxaca: Human Rights Violations http://censored-news.blogspot.com/2010/01/detained-in-oaxaca-human-rights.html

On Thursday January 28, at around 9 p.m. Andrea Caraballo, Guadalupe Rodriguez Lopez, James Wells and Jennifer Lawhorne were eating ice cream in the zocalo of Oaxaca. At that time, one of us recognized the face of the governor of Oaxaca who was about nine feet away from us. As a friend of Brad Will, a U.S. journalist who was killed in Oaxaca in 2006, one of us took advantage of the governor's presence to ask him about the case of Mr. Will, which to this day remains unresolved. We didn't receive a response from the governor who continued walking and we continued strolling in the zocalo with our ice creams.

Five minutes later, between six and eight police agents, some in official uniform and others dressed in plainclothes, surrounded us, demanding to see our identifications and made us walk with them to a municipal police truck. While the police forced us to get into the back of the truck, we asked them why they were taking us away and to where they were going to take us. The police refused to give us any information.

Inayat wins libel case against Mail on Sunday http://www.islamophobia-watch.com/islamophobia-watch/2010/1/29/inayat-wins-libel-case-against-mail-on-sunday.html

A government adviser on combating extremism among young Muslims today accepted substantial undisclosed damages over a newspaper claim that he supported al-Qa'ida.Systems engineer Inayat Bunglawala, who lives in Luton, is a spokesman at the Muslim Council of Britain and, in 2005, was appointed one of seven conveners for a Home office taskforce.

He brought libel proceedings over a March 2009 Mail on Sunday article which alleged there were strong grounds to suspect him of unlawfully stabbing a man at his home in December 2008, and that he was an extremist who supported Abu Qatada and al-Qa'ida.

His solicitor, Stevie Loughrey, told Mr Justice Eady at London's High Court that Mr Bunglawala did not commit any criminal act in relation to the December 2008 incident.As Associated Newspapers now accepted, he was forced to act in self-defence to protect himself and his family against an intruder, who it later turned out was so drunk he had no recollection of the incident.
