 <title>Puppet President of the NWO</title>
 <link>http://toraor.net/index.php?itemid=645</link>
<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/22/AR2010052201586.html" target="_BLANK">At West Point, Obama talks of a new 'international order'</a></div><br />
<br />
President Obama on Saturday pledged to shape a new "international order" as part of a national security strategy that emphasizes the president's belief in global institutions and America's role in promoting Democratic values around the world. <br />
<br />
Speaking to the graduating class at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point -- the ninth wartime commencement in a row, he said -- the commander-in-chief who is leading two foreign wars expressed his faith in cooperation and partnerships to confront the economic, military and environmental challenges of the future. <br />
<br />
"The international order we seek is one that can resolve the challenges of our times,'" he said in prepared remarks. "Countering violent extremism and insurgency; stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and securing nuclear materials; combating a changing climate and sustaining global growth; helping countries feed themselves and care for their sick; preventing conflict and healing its wounds." <br />
<br />
The administration is set to officially release the president's first national security strategy next week, and Obama's preview on Saturday suggests it will be far different than the first one offered by his predecessor in 2002. In that prior document, President Bush formally called for a policy of preemptive war and a "distinctly American internationalism." <br />
<br />
Obama has spoken frequently about shaping new alliances with the world, and of attempts to repair the U.S. image abroad after nearly a decade in which Bush's approach was viewed with suspicion in many quarters. In his commencement speech to the graduates, the president emphasized his beliefs in those alliances. <br />
<br />
"Yes, we are clear-eyed about the shortfalls of our international system. But America has not succeeded by stepping outside the currents of international cooperation," he said. "We have succeeded by steering those currents in the direction of liberty and justice -- so nations thrive by meeting their responsibilities, and face consequences when they don't." <br />
<br />
Obama said the U.S. will pursue a strategy of "national renewal and global leadership." <br />
<br />
And yet, even as he calls for global cooperation, Obama has intensified America's own war in Afghanistan. And his administration has repeatedly confronted the dangers of Islamic terrorism on U.S. soil, including unsuccessful attempts to down an airliner and to explode a car bomb in New York's Times Square. <br />
<br />
To the men and women in the hall, many of whom are headed to Afghanistan because of the expansion of the war he announced here six months ago, Obama pledged "the full support of a proud and grateful nation." <br />
<br />
The president expressed confidence in the military's ability to succeed in Afghanistan, but warned of a "tough fight" ahead as the U.S. helps the Afghan people to rebuild its civil institutions and its security system so they can battle the Taliban and other extremists on their own. <br />
<br />
"We have brought hope to the Afghan people; now we must see that their country does not fall prey to our common enemies," he said. "There will be difficult days ahead. But we will adapt, we will persist, and I have no doubt that together with our Afghan and international partners, we will succeed in Afghanistan." <br />
<br />
In Iraq, he said, the U.S. is "poised" to end its combat operations this summer, leaving behind "an Iraq that provides no safe-haven to terrorists; a democratic Iraq that is sovereign, stable, and self-reliant." <br />
<br />
"You, and all who wear America's uniform, remain the cornerstone of our national defense, and the anchor of global security," he said. "And through a period when too many of our institutions have acted irresponsibly, the American military has set a standard of service and sacrifice that is as great as any in this nation's history." <br />
<br />
But he said civilians must answer the call of service as well, by securing America's economic future, educating its children and confronting the challenges of poverty and climate change. He said the country must always pursue what he called the "universal rights" rooted in the Constitution. <br />
<br />
"We will promote these values above all by living them -- through our fidelity to the rule of law and our Constitution, even when it's hard; and through our commitment to forever pursue a more perfect union," he said. <br />
<br />
To the cadets themselves, he praised their pursuit of being "soldier-scholars" and praising the records of academic excellence the class of 2010 has set. He also took note of the fact that the class's top two graduates this year are both women, reflecting, he said, the "indispensable role" that women play in the modern military. <br />
<br />
As they become commissioned officers in the U.S. army, Obama told the graduates of West Point that the country owes them a debt of graditude. <br />
<br />
"Here in the quiet of these hills, you have come together to prepare for the most difficult tests of our time'" Obama said. "You signed up knowing your service would send you into harm's way, and did so long after the first drums of war were sounded. In you we see the commitment of our country, and timeless virtues that have served our nation well." <br />

<br />
A Norwegian lawyer who held senior positions in the foreign office and at the UN, Synnøve Fjellbakk Taftø, has been forcibly hospitalized for "psychiatric treatment" after criticising the UN, the EU and the New World Order in an article.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.nyhetsspeilet.no/2010/05/globalistenes-fremste-agent/" target="_BLANK">http://www.nyhetsspeilet.no/2010/05/globalistenes-fremste-agent/</a><br />
<br />
In her article, Synnøve Fjellbakk Taftø discusses the way the souvereign rights of the individual have been eroded in Norway, and how people are now being administered as units of producion in an economic and social system managed by the UN on behalf of a group of people aiming to establish global dominance under a New World Order.<br />
<br />
She also focusses on the role of Harvard lawyer and Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Störe in tying Norway closer to the EU inspite of a referendum in which the people of Norway rejected EU membership, arguing he is an agent of globalist interests.<br />
<br />
The report would be considered to be a pretty standard fare in the increasingly mainstream alternative media in the USA and other parts of Europe, but it has resulted in her incarceration in a mental hospital in Norway, fuelling fears of a fresh crack down by the government.<br />
<br />
This is the fifth time Synnøve Fjellbakk Taftø has been put into pyschiatric treatment for criticising the EU and UN in violation of basic human rights and laws. Psychiatric treatment cannot be misused to silence critics of a totalitarian or corrupt governments under European law and under the precedents set by the Nuremberg Trial.<br />

 <title>Letter from Chief Arvol Looking Horse</title>
 <link>http://toraor.net/index.php?itemid=641</link>
<description><![CDATA[A Letter from Chief Arvol Looking Horse<br />
 <br />
A Great Urgency<br />
<br />
To All World Religious and Spiritual Leaders<br />
<br />
My Relatives,<br />
<br />
Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders. I ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the Spirit of your Nations in prayer. <br />
<br />
We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the World; we are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing their sacred color, which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life of all things. As I am sending this message to you, many Animal Nations are being threatened, those that swim, those that crawl, those that fly, and the plant Nations, eventually all will be affect from the oil disaster in the Gulf.<br />
<br />
The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit. The catastrophe that has happened with the oil spill which looks like the bleeding of Grandmother Earth, is made by human mistakes, mistakes that we cannot afford to continue to make. <br />
<br />
I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors have warned us of in their Prophecies.<br />
<br />
I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I believe we as Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our thoughts and prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that have been inflicted on the Earth. As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing Grandmother Earth (our Unc'I Maka).<br />
<br />
We ask for prayers that the oil spill, this bleeding, will stop. That the winds stay calm to assist in the work. Pray for the people to be guided in repairing this mistake, and that we may also seek to live in harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are on. <br />
<br />
As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And that what we create can have lasting effects on all life. <br />
<br />
So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. Along with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember June 21st, World Peace and Prayer Day/Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own sacred space, let us make a prayer for all life, for good decision making by our Nations, for our children's future and well-being, and the generations to come. <br />

New research suggests that huge plumes of oil might be spread at all levels of the water column, showing how much scientists don't yet know about the complex Gulf oil spill.<br />
<br />
<img src=http://www.csmonitor.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/media/images/0516-gulf-oil-strips.jpg/7901633-1-eng-US/0516-Gulf-oil-strips.jpg_full_380.jpg width=380></a></div><br />
From the first moments that the Deepwater Horizon oil rig sank last month, it has been apparent that the blooming Gulf oil spill has been an oil disaster unlike any other. But the full truth of that statement is perhaps only now beginning to become apparent.<br />
<br />
The oil that can be seen from the surface is apparently just a fraction of the oil that has spilled into the Gulf of Mexico since April 20, according to an assessment the National Institute for Undersea Science and Technology. Significant amounts of oil are spreading at various levels throughout the water column, says the report, which was posted online a week ago but first published by The New York Times Saturday.<br />
<br />
The research, combined with other emerging data, could fundamentally alter researchers’ understanding of the oil spill. It suggests that vastly more oil than previously reported could be spilling from the wellhead and the attached riser pipe that now lies crumpled on the seafloor like a kinked and leaking garden hose. <br />
<br />
Moreover, it suggests that serious environmental degradation could take place in the open ocean, creating massive “dead zones” where no creature can live because of the lack of oxygen in the water. The spread of oil at all levels of the Gulf also could become a concern for shore communities in hurricanes, which stir up the water column as they come ashore. <br />
<br />
Scientists looking at video of the leak, suggest that as many as 3.4 million gallons of oil could be leaking into the Gulf every day – 16 times more than the current 210,000-gallon-a-day estimate, according to the Times. <br />
<br />
The depth of the problem<br />
The fact that the spill could possibly be so radically misunderstood nearly a month after it began speaks to the unique nature of this spill. In particular, it’s depth – 5,000 feet below the ocean surface – makes it both unprecedented and difficult to study. <br />
<br />
For experts, “most of their experience is with shallow-water spills that quickly bleed black goo onto beaches that are cleaned up relatively quickly,” says the Los Angeles Times. <br />
<br />
That is clearly not what has happened in the Gulf, where shorelines have, so far, emerged relatively unscathed. <br />
<br />
The nature of the oil in the Gulf oil spill could be relevant – it is of a lighter grade than that in the Exxon Valdez spill, for example. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center"><img src=http://www.energybranding.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/bp5.jpg></div><br />
More relevant could be the dispersant that BP is applying to the oil at the source. BP officials have hailed the process as a success, noting diminishing oil at the surface. But the dispersant breaks the oil into smaller drops, which might instead be spreading throughout the water column, instead of rising to the surface. <br />
<br />
It is not clear what this would mean environmentally, though past research indicates that oil can be trapped in the seabed for decades after oil on the surface is cleaned away. <br />
<br />
Complicating projections<br />
It would, however, make predictions for the spill far more complex.<br />
<br />
"We have no idea where the oil that isn't reaching the surface is going," James Cowan Jr., an oceanography professor at Louisiana State University, to the Los Angeles Times. "It could go everywhere.<br />
<br />
The Gulf currents operate differently at different levels, making the exact location and spread of the oil at different depths hugely important to predictions of where it might end up. Indeed, the system so complex that in time, oil could be taken anywhere from the Mexican Coast to Florida’s Palm Beach, research suggests. <br />
<br />
BP has so far rejected any efforts toward pinpointing the exact amount of oil entering the Gulf, saying that effort would detract from other containment efforts, such as the current effort to stopper one of the leaks with a siphon. But getting a more accurate sense of how much oil in leaking could be vital to trying to account for all of it, scientists say. <br />

Iceland could be at the start of a surge in volcanic activity that may produce more eruptions</a></div><br />
The Icelandic eruption that has caused misery for air travellers could be part of a surge in volcanic activity that will affect the whole of Europe for decades, scientists have warned.<br />
<br />
They have reconstructed a timeline of 205 eruptions in Iceland, spanning the past 1,100 years, and found that they occur in regular cycles — with the relatively quiet phase that dominated the past five decades now coming to an end.<br />
<br />
At least three other big Icelandic volcanoes are building towards an eruption, according to Thor Thordarson, a volcanologist at Edinburgh University.<br />
<br />
“The frequency of Icelandic eruptions seems to rise and fall in a cycle lasting around 140 years,” he said. “In the latter part of the 20th century we were in a low period, but now there is evidence that we could be approaching a peak.”<br />
<br />
His findings coincide with new warnings that the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, which has disrupted air traffic across Europe for several weeks, could carry on for many months — and possibly years.<br />
<br />
Some geologists have also warned of a serious threat from a fourth volcano, Katla, which lies 15 miles to the east of Eyjafjallajokull. Two of its past three eruptions seemed to be triggered by those of its smaller neighbour and a report issued just before Eyjafjallajokull blew suggested Katla was “close to failure [eruption]”.<br />
<br />
The three other volcanoes cited by Thordarson as being potentially close to a large eruption are Grimsvotn, Hekla and Askja — all of which are bigger than Eyjafjallajokull.<br />
<br />
In the past, they have proved devastating. Hekla alone has erupted about 20 times since AD874, pouring out a total of two cubic miles of lava from a line of fissures that stretches 3Å miles across the mountain.<br />
<br />
There was a minor eruption in 2000 and geologists have reported that snow is once again melting on Hekla’s summit, suggesting that magma is rising.<br />
<br />
Grimsvotn, another highly active volcano, lies under the huge Vatnajokull glacier in Iceland’s southeast. An eruption in 1996 saw much of this glacial ice melt, causing a flood that washed away the country’s main ring road.<br />
<br />
It is linked to the massive Laki fissure volcano whose 1783 eruption ejected so much ash into the atmosphere that it cooled the entire northern hemisphere for nearly three years. The resulting low temperatures caused crop failures and famines that killed 2m people and helped trigger the French Revolution.<br />
<br />
Thordarson believes that the behaviour of the volcanoes is linked to movements in the earth’s crust which create massive subterranean stresses over wide areas.<br />
<br />
As these stresses build up, more volcanoes erupt and as the stress disappears, the volcanoes subside again.<br />
<br />
The theory is a controversial one. Gillian Foulger, professor of geophysics at Durham University, suggests that historic clusters of eruptions could well have occurred by chance. She said: “This needs rigorous statistical support.”<br />
<br />
However, both she and Thordarson agree that Europe needs to take the threat of further Icelandic eruptions more seriously, including improving the monitoring of active volcanoes. Foulger is writing to David Willetts, the new science minister, suggesting Britain could support Iceland in such a project.<br />
<br />
She said: “There are about 35 active [big] volcanoes in Iceland and if we put a high quality seismograph and some global positioning equipment on each one we would often be able to tell in advance if an eruption was coming. The cost is tiny compared with the potential economic damage from an unexpected eruption.”<br />
<br />
The most pressing question for Britain and the rest of Europe is how long the current eruption will continue.<br />
<br />
Professor Stephen Sparks, from the earth sciences department at Bristol University, said: “Every volcano has its own personality. This particular volcano has erupted before in 1612 and 1821. When it erupted in 1821 it continued erupting for 15 months so there is no reason why it could not last a similar period of time.”<br />
<br />
The new rules in place for aviation mean Iceland and Europe can probably cope with Eyjafjallajokull, but an eruption by Katla could cause far bigger problems.<br />
<br />
Dr Richard Waller, senior lecturer in physical geography at Keele University, believes the ash cloud could be immense, but for Iceland the biggest problem would be massive flooding.<br />
<br />
“Katla has a crater filled with ice more than 2,000ft thick, which will all melt,” he said.<br />

 <title>Whales Under Threat</title>
 <link>http://toraor.net/index.php?itemid=638</link>
<description><![CDATA[The International Whaling Commission has just unveiled a proposal to legalize commercial whale hunting for the first time in 24 years.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center"><img src=https://avaazmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/2092_whaling0621.jpg></div><br />
<br />
Now, countries are deciding whether to support it -- or push back. Already, New Zealand's Foreign Minister has described some provisions as "unacceptable," "inflammatory," and "offensive."<br />
<br />
A massive global outcry is needed now, as other key countries choose how to react. Avaaz will deliver this petition to the Commission delegates each time it adds another 100,000 signatures -- click below, sign the petition and spread the word! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://cdn.avaaz.org/en/whales_under_threat/">To parties of the International Whaling Commission:<br />
<br />
As citizens from around the world, we call on you to retain the international ban on commercial whaling as the core policy of the International Whaling Commission in its pursuit of conservation of whales.</a><br />
