VIDEO: Jeffrey Goldberg asks Christopher Hitchens to put himself in the shoes of the Israeli prime minister.
"In these conversations, which will be fraught, the Israelis will tell their American counterparts that they are taking this drastic step because a nuclear Iran poses the gravest threat since Hitler to the physical survival of the Jewish people. The Israelis will also state that they believe they have a reasonable chance of delaying the Iranian nuclear program for at least three to five years. They will tell their American colleagues that Israel was left with no choice. They will not be asking for permission, because it will be too late to ask for permission."

A MUST WATCH! "Shortly after the deadly flotilla raid, an Israeli satirical website released a music clip that rocked the boat and the Internet. Latma's political humor and satire come from an Israeli right-wing perspective, an alternative to the mainstream variety perceived to be dominated by the left. They have a steady local following but made their international debut with "We Con the World" — a parody of the 1985 hit "We Are the World" — lambasting the declared humanitarian mission of the Gaza flotilla as totally bogus."

"After dozens of years of intensive American activity in our region – pressures, schemes, deals, mediation, diplomacy, threats, concessions, doctrines – a disturbing silence suddenly prevailed.

"For the Obama administration, the prospect of a nuclearized Iran is dismal to contemplate— it would create major new national-security challenges and crush the president’s dream of ending nuclear proliferation. But the view from Jerusalem is still more dire: a nuclearized Iran represents, among other things, a threat to Israel’s very existence. In the gap between Washington’s and Jerusalem’s views of Iran lies the question: who, if anyone, will stop Iran before it goes nuclear, and how? As Washington and Jerusalem study each other intensely, here’s an inside look at the strategic calculations on both sides—and at how, if things remain on the current course, an Israeli air strike will unfold."

"Some of my Panamanian friends point out that the United States government (IRS) wants to force Panama to “open its books.” And that to do so would be “one way street” information sharing.
This is because the U.S. doesn’t have any tax information Panama wants!
That’s because Panama, unlike the United States, has a sensible “territorial tax system.” Panama doesn’t tax earnings outside its national borders. So Panama therefore doesn’t care what Panamanians earn in the U.S. or anywhere else."

KEEP PASSING THIS AROUND TO EVERYONE!
"Here is an explosive new video that lobbies Americans to not allow the building of a huge mosque across from Ground Zero. It details Islam’s history of building mosques at sites around the world it considers emblematic of Jihadist victory over enemies. The video suggests the desire to build a mosque across from Ground Zero would follow in that tradition. Opposition to the building of a mosque there continues to grow, and the issue promises to become an explosive one in upcoming campaigns." This is a message from Frank Gaffney: The Center for Security Policy, unveiled a powerful 1-minute video opposing the construction of a 13-story, $100 million mega-mosque near the hallowed ground of the World Trade Center. The Twin Towers were destroyed on 9/11 by adherents to the barbaric, supremacist and totalitarian program authoritative Islam calls "Shariah." And the imam who is promoting this mosque has publicly declared that he seeks to "bring Shariah to America."
As the ad makes clear, Shariah's followers have long built mosques on the most sacred sites of those they have conquered -- for example, on Jerusalem's Temple Mount, at Constantinople/Istanbul's St. Sophia Basilica and in Cordoba, Spain, the capital of the occupying Moors' Muslim kingdom.
A growing chorus of New Yorkers and other Americans -- including, notably, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin -- have expressed outrage at the prospect of a similar, permanent beachhead for Shariah being use to defile Ground Zero, and symbolize America's defeat at the hands of her enemies. We say, "No Mosque at Ground Zero."

President Obama says the static kill appears to be working and pledeges to stand by the people of the Gulf.
Washington (CNN) -- The 107-day fight to corral the oil befouling the Gulf of Mexico and stifle the well it was gushing from is at last nearing a finish, President Obama said Wednesday. We learned overnight that efforts to stop the well through what's called a 'static kill' appear to be working and that a report out today by our scientists shows that the vast majority of spilled oil has been dispersed or removed from the water," the president told the AFL-CIO executive committee at the labor union's meeting in Washington. So, the long battle to stop the leak and contain the oil is finally close to coming to an end, and we are very pleased with that," he said.

PAGER - Rapid Assessment of an Earthquake's Impact
Click picture for real time accurate reports.
DID YOU KNOW THERE WAS A 100% CHANCE OF AN EARTHQUAKE TODAY!
YES! There's a 100 percent chance of an earthquake today! Though millions of persons may never experience an earthquake, they are very common occurrences on this planet. So today -- somewhere -- an earthquake will occur.
It may be so light that only sensitive instruments will perceive its motion; it may shake houses, rattle windows, and displace small objects; or it may be sufficiently strong to cause property damage, death, and injury.
It is estimated that about 700 shocks each year have this capability when centered in a populated area. But fortunately, most of these potentially destructive earthquakes center in unpopulated areas far from civilization.
Since a major portion of the world's earthquakes each year center around the rim of the Pacific Ocean (Ring of Fire), referred to by seismologists as the circum-Pacific belt, this is the most probable location for today's earthquake. But it could hit any location, because no region is entirely free of earthquakes.
Stating that an earthquake is going to occur today is not really "predicting earthquakes". To date, they cannot be predicted. But anyone, on any day, could make this statement and it would be true. This is because several million earthquakes occur annually; thereby, thousands occur each day, although most are too small to be located. The problem, however, is in pinpointing the area where a strong shock will center and when it will occur.
Earthquake prediction is a future possibility, though. Just as the Weather Bureau now predicts hurricanes, tornadoes, and other severe storms, the NEIC may one day issue forecasts on earthquakes. Earthquake research was stepped up after the Alaska shock in 1964. Today, research is being conducted by the USGS and other federal and state agencies, as well as universities and private institutions. Earthquake prediction may some day become a reality, but only after much more is learned about the earthquake mechanism
