Left-leaning voters scrubbed from lists. Mexico election. It is much harder to change cannabis and drug policy if these coup d'etats continue in elections in the USA and Mexico. In Mexico we need more honest elections and more honest voter registration and more voting machines in poorer Mexican neighborhoods (sound familiar?) and more voting machines along the border. Also, simple runoff election would solve many problems, too. The Mexican election vote was divided mainly between the 3 main candidates. A runoff election between the top 2 candidates would elect the left leaning candidate. In Canada the Conservative Party only won a minority of the votes but now its leader is the Prime Minister. The other parties to the left of the Conservative Party had far more votes, but the lack of runoff voting, and the screwy system for selecting the Prime Minister means that Canada also has been taken over by the War Corporatists, Big Oil, and the Prison Industrial Complex. They all kiss George Bush's butt, and want more war, more unfair trade, less wages, no adequate increases in the minimum wage, more prisons, more wasteful government spending, huge deficits, more pollution, more Big Oil instead of Big Ethanol, etc... From the July 8, 2006 Guardian article below: As we found in Florida in 2000, my investigations team on the ground in Mexico City this week found voters in poor neighbourhoods, the left's turf, complaining that their names were disappeared from the voter rolls. ---July 8, 2006 Guardian article begins-- http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1815601,00.html Mexico and Florida have more in common than heat There is evidence that left-leaning voters have been scrubbed from key electoral lists in Latin America Greg Palast Saturday July 8, 2006 The Guardian There's something rotten in Mexico. And it smells like Florida. The ruling party, the Washington-friendly National Action Party (Pan), proclaimed yesterday their victory in the presidential race, albeit tortilla thin, was Mexico's first clean election. But that requires we close our eyes to some very dodgy doings in the vote count that are far too reminiscent of the games played in Florida in 2000 by the Bush family. And indeed, evidence suggests that Team Bush had a hand in what may be another presidential election heist. Just before the 2000 balloting in Florida, I reported in the Guardian that its governor, Jeb Bush, had ordered the removal of tens of thousands of black citizens from the state's voter rolls. He called them felons, but our investigation discovered their only crime was Voting While Black. And that little scrub of the voter rolls gave the White House to his brother George. Jeb's winning scrub list was the creation of a private firm, ChoicePoint of Alpharetta, Georgia. Now, it seems, ChoicePoint is back in the voter list business - in Mexico - at the direction of the Bush government. Months ago, I got my hands on a copy of a memo from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, marked secret, regarding a contract for intelligence collection of foreign counter-terrorism investigations. Given that the memo was dated September 17 2001, a week after the attack on the World Trade Centre, hunting for terrorists seemed like a heck of a good idea. But oddly, while all 19 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf, the contract was for obtaining the voter files of Venezuela, Brazil ... and Mexico. What those Latin American countries have in common, besides a lack of terrorists, is either a left-leaning president or a left candidate for president ahead in the opinion polls, leaders of the floodtide of Bush-hostile Latin leaders. It seems that the Bush government feared the leftist surge was up against the US's southern border. As we found in Florida in 2000, my
[cia-drugs] OFF TOPIC Fw: [TheIlluminati] FBI plans new Net-tapping push
This is just an example of what the FBI really is.

FBI Agent Barry Smith distributed the proposal at a private meeting last Friday with industry representatives and indicated it would be introduced by Sen. Mike DeWine, an Ohio Republican, according to two sources familiar with the meeting. The draft bill would place the FBI's Net-surveillance push on solid legal footing. At the moment, it's ensnared in a legal challenge from universities and some technology companies that claim the Federal Communications Commission's broadband surveillance directives exceed what Congress has authorized. The FBI claims that expanding the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act is necessary to thwart criminals and terrorists who have turned to technologies like voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP. The complexity and variety of communications technologies have dramatically increased in recent years, and the lawful intercept capabilities of the federal, state and local law enforcement community have been under continual stress, and in many cases have decreased or become impossible, according to a summary accompanying the draft bill. Complicating the political outlook for the legislation is an ongoing debate over allegedly illegal surveillance by the National Security Administration--punctuated by several lawsuits challenging it on constitutional grounds and an unrelated proposal to force Internet service providers to record what Americans are doing online. One source, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of last Friday's meeting, said the FBI viewed its CALEA expansion as a top congressional priority for 2007. Breaking the legislation down The 27-page proposed CALEA amendments seen by CNET News.com would: � Require any manufacturer of routing and addressing hardware to offer upgrades or other modifications that are needed to support Internet wiretapping. Current law does require that of telephone switch manufacturers--but not makers of routers and network address translation hardware like Cisco Systems and 2Wire. � Authorize the expansion of wiretapping requirements to commercial Internet services including instant messaging if the FCC deems it to be in the public interest. That would likely sweep in services such as in-game chats offered by Microsoft's Xbox 360 gaming system as well. � Force Internet service providers to sift through their customers' communications to identify, for instance, only VoIP calls. (The language requires companies to adhere to processing or filtering methods or procedures applied by a law enforcement agency.) That means police could simply ask broadband providers like ATT, Comcast or Verizon for wiretap info--instead of having to figure out what VoIP service was being used. � Eliminate the current legal requirement saying the Justice Department must publish a public notice of the actual number of communications interceptions every year. That notice currently also must disclose the maximum capacity required to accommodate all of the legally authorized taps that government agencies will conduct and use simultaneously. Jim Harper, a policy analyst at the free-market Cato Institute and member of a Homeland Security advisory board, said the proposal would have a negative impact on Internet users' privacy. People expect their information to be private unless the government meets certain legal standards, Harper said. Right now the Department of Justice is pushing the wrong way on all this. Neither the FBI nor DeWine's office responded to a request for comment Friday afternoon. DeWine has relatively low approval ratings--47 percent, according to SurveyUSA.com--and is enmeshed in a fierce battle with a Democratic challenger to retain his Senate seat in the November elections. DeWine is a member of a Senate Judiciary subcommittee charged with overseeing electronic privacy and antiterrorism enforcement and is a former prosecutor in Ohio. A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., decided 2-1 last month to uphold the FCC's extension of CALEA to broadband providers, and it's not clear what will happen next
[cia-drugs] new American Exile
CA Actress Flees To India To Escape US Black OpsBy Greg Szymanski6-28-6 Leslie Oliver has taken refuge to a peaceful part of India, a place far away from the madness in America. A former Hollywood actress, Oliver finally had to leave after repeated attempts on her life left her with no other choice but to look for some place off the beaten track. So she chose India as a last resort, leaving her California lifestyle behind and choosing to look "inward" in a country placing more importance on introspection and meditation then television and video games. How Oliver ended up in a small Indian village in Himalayas again illustrates how violence and intimidation has saturated the American lifestyle like an unstoppable plague, driving good people away from its borders and into extinction. And the sad thing about her story, besides the numerous attempts made on her life, is most everyone reading will shrug it off, saying there goes another "paranoid American" running away from reality. But for those who take Oliver's story to heart, giving her the benefit of the doubt so to speak, listen to the affidavit provided to the Arctic Beacon she left behind before leaving the U.S. just in case something ugly happens. In her detailed account of how she became the target of Black Ops harassment, Oliver calls herself the "new type of American fugitive, the title meaning she can no longer stomach the pervasive evil controlling all aspects of American society. The following is Oliver's gut wrenching story explaining the real behind the scenes story of how things are changing in America.

[cia-drugs] Torture by Satellite
TORTURE BY SATELLITE. (6-22-06) THIS IS THE REASON WHY THE US ATTORNEY GENERAL THREATENS TO IMPRISON THOSE WHO PUBLISH DETAILS ABOUT THE SATELLITE SECRET SPY PROGRAMS. The cases below established on the federal record as a matter of fact that satellite radiation technology reserved for the military and national security is now in use to retaliate and torture those who denounce injustice. Exhibit A-1, demonstrates the swelling, pain and suffering caused on myself and on my family by radiation directed by satellite and which intensity is comparable to the radiation used by a microwave oven. Without knowing, many are the subject of harmful satellite monitoring and tracking. The power of those using this technology resides in the fact that most who become victims of this assault do not realize it, if they do, they are not likely to be believed and would be unable to stop the aggression. The US Attorney claims that the use of harmful radiation for surveillance of residences is legal. Sending a copy of this document to your State and federal legislators asking for an explanation to this case can help to stop this torture, can prevent that the same occurs to you or to your loved ones, and can spare lives and immense pain and suffering.The case below proved as a matter of fact my mental stability and the fact that a retaliatory electronic aggression caused me severe physical harm for denouncing a law school scheme to defraud minorities of their federal loans, and to give law degrees to those affiliated with federal law enforcement and investigative agencies. Maldonado v. The Thomas M. Cooley Law School, et al, W. Dist. MI., Case No. 5: 01 cv 93, (2003).During the litigation of these cases it was established as a matter of fact that to benefit those engaged in fraud of federal funds and retaliation, a US Magistrate Judge altered the testimony of my wife to discredit the evidence of the pain and suffering caused on my children by high intensities of radiation inside our home. During the litigation of these cases a federal court of appeals recognized the harm caused by the retaliatory electronic aggression. During the litigation of these cases it was established as a matter of fact that federal agencies are using harmful satellite radiation technologies otherwise reserved for national security and the military to monitor activity of residences. Jesus Mendoza Maldonado v John Ashcroft, (S. D. Tex.) Case No. M 03-38; US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Case No. 04-40095, Jesus Mendoza Maldonado v Alberto R. Gonzales, U.S. S. Ct., Case No. 04-9908, (2005). The case below is pending before the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Case No. 06-5108. On this case I am asking the Court an Order to compel the Defendants to cease and desist from using radiation during any investigation of my activities on the ground that the fact that Defendants investigation is retaliation for denouncing fraud and judicial misconduct has been established by litigation as a matter of law. The Defendants insist on operating this technology without supervision, and they are attempting to derail any Congressional investigation over the use of satellite radiation for surveillance. On November of 2005, the Defendants sought an exemption to the Congressional ban on torture. On December 2005, the media exposed the use of secret satellite radiation eavesdropping programs to spy on Americans. In his effort to make this the perfect crime, the US Attorney General has threatened to imprison those who publish details of satellite spy programs. The case is pending before the US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Jesus Mendoza Maldonado v Keith Alexander, in his official capacity as director of the National Security Agency, Michael Hayden, in his official capacity as Director of the Central intelligence Agency, and George W. Bush in his official capacity as President of the United states of America, US District Court for the District of Columbia Non- Assigned case No. 06-0155, US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Case No. 06-5108. Watching on a video screen, on real time, even the most intimate activities of persons inside a home or a moving vehicle via satellite appears to be science fiction. However, the fact that satellites are monitoring the activities of families and individuals by bouncing radiation from the targets on earth is a reality. The fact that this technology is being used by government technicians operating in secret rooms to torture and murder unsuspected victims makes satellite surveillance a cruel reality. This case demonstrates that there are no safeguards in place to prevent that the same mentality that tortured, maimed, and murdered women and children in concentration camps, use this technology to harm people in homes, vehicles, schools, courts, hospitals, and churches. For many years directed radiation has been used as a weapon to commit perfect

[cia-drugs] A £6bn London flotation, a Russian oil company - and a question of morals
http://news.independent.co.uk/business/news/article1169698.ece A £6bn London flotation, a Russian oil company - and a question of morals By Michael Harrison, Executive Business Editor Published:10 July 2006 This week the London Stock Exchange will play host to one of the biggest share sales on record. But the £6bn flotation of Rosneft, a state-owned Russian oil producer, will not only be huge, it will also be massively controversial. Apart from the sheer size of Rosneft - it will have a stock market value of about £38bn - one other thing marks it out from other public listings. Critics of Rosneft, and they include the billionaire investor and philanthropist George Soros, claim the company has been built on assets stolen by the Kremlin from another set of shareholders. Allowing Rosneft to list its shares here will therefore legitimise that act and undermine London's reputation as one of the world's leading financial centres. The trickle of Russian companies seeking the respectability, kudos and access to capital that a London share listing brings may have turned into a flood. But the City has never seen anything quite like Rosneft. The allegation against the company is simply put: that its main subsidiary, an oil and gas business called Yuganskneftegaz, was illegally expropriated from another oil company called Yukos by the Russian government. The Kremlin says Yuganskneftegaz was seized in lieu of unpaid taxes. Indeed, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the former chief executive of Yukos, now languishes in a Siberian concentration camp having been found guilty of tax fraud. But to many observers, inside and outside Moscow, Mr Khodorkovsky's crime was not to embezzle the Russian taxman but to challenge the political authority of President Vladimir Putin. Imprisonment and the confiscation of his company is, say Mr Khodorkovsky's supporters, the price he is now paying. Rosneft's history has not stopped a bevy of the world's biggest investment banks agreeing to float the company and, in the process, share out $140m worth of advisory fees between them. Nor has it prevented Rosneft's advisers aggressively marketing the company in the hope that they can persuade at least one big Western oil company to become a strategic investor. For days, the banks behind the float have been trying to persuade BP, Britain's biggest company, to take part. Indeed, stories are rife that it has agreed to place an order for shares; stories denied by the company. If it does decide to back the float, it would be a huge fillip for the Kremlin, providing Rosneft and its backers with the veneer of respectability they crave. Robert Amsterdam, Mr Khodorkovsky's lawyer, said it would also leave BP with "blood on its hands", because of the treatment meted out to his client. So far, BP has kept its counsel, waiting to see whether other big oil companies choose to invest and whether the shares will be priced at a more realistic level. Price does not concern Mr Soros. He has condemned the Rosneft flotation for raising "serious ethical and energy security issues". In a speech last week to the London School of Economics he said the float ought not to be allowed because Russia was becoming a monopoly supplier to excessively dependent Western economies. His criticisms have been echoed in Russia by a former Putin adviser, Andrei Illarionov, who resigned last year over what he called the "swindle of the year". Last week, Mr Illarionov described the sale as "a crime against the Russian state and the Russian people. We are talking about the transfer of property from the state without any compensation. We will be witness to massive embezzlement." He said the flotation would dwarf even the loans-for-shares scandals of the mid-1990s when many of Russia's present-day oligarchs benefited from prize assets being sold off to preferred bidders at bargain-basement prices. And other investors in New York and London, including Foreign and Colonial, have questioned the ethics. This has not deterred four prominent banks and two of the UK's best-known legal and accountancy firms from lending their names to the offer. The joint global co-ordinators are ABN Amro Rothschild, Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley. Linklaters are Rosneft's lawyers and accountancy advice is being provided by Ernst Young. Nor has it budged the view of the Financial Services Authority and the London Stock Exchange that Rosneft is entitled to float in London, provided investors are made aware of potential dangers. With this in mind, the Rosneft prospectus contains one of the longest chapters ever devoted to "risk factors". Over 25 pages, it details $48bn of lawsuits Rosneft is facing from Yukos and its former shareholders. The FSA and the LSE will not comment publicly on Rosneft. But it is no coincidence that the offer is London. Sources at the New York Stock Exchange say the flotation would never have got

http://www.easybourse.com/Website/dynamic/News.php?NewsID=17825lang=fraNewsRubrique=2 CHINA PRESS: Oil Imports From Venezuela May Nearly Double BEIJING -(Dow Jones)- Venezuela may nearly double its oil exports to China to 300,000 barrels a day from the current 168,000 b/d, the official people.com.cn Web site reported Monday, citing an official from Petroleos de Venezuela SA (PVZ.YY). The company was in talks with China to increase its oil supply to the growing market as it may boost oil production by nearly 2 million b/d in the next few years, a vice president in charge of oil exploration and production was quoted as saying, without elaborating. He didn't say when the increase in shipments would begin but added that the company is also in talks with India on supplying it more oil. The official said he doesn't expect any increases in oil shipments to China or India to affect the company's supply to the U.S., saying the U.S. market is likely oversupplied, according to the Web site, which is backed by the official People's Daily newspaper. Venezuela exported an average 77,045 b/d of crude oil and 48,127 b/d of fuel oil to China in the first five months of this year, up 172.1% and 287.2% on year respectively.

[cia-drugs] Western fears grow over new security group
http://washingtontimes.com/world/20060709-092738-6262r.htm Western fears grow over new security group WORLD BRIEFINGSBy Katie StuhldreherTHE WASHINGTON TIMESJuly 10, 2006 Members of the U.S. Congress and European leaders fear that an economic and security group led by Russia and China will emerge as an anti-democratic rival to the West, but analysts warn against confrontation. The two central players in this debate are the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a 56-member group that grew out of the Cold War, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a six-member group that is a product of the post-Soviet reality. China and Russia are the driving forces behind the SCO, which has four former Soviet states from Central Asia as the other members. The four countries -- Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan -- also are members of the OSCE. Kazakhstan is aiming for the chairmanship of the European security group in 2009. The SCO, which held a summit in China last month, invited Iran and India as observers, and offered Tehran full membership, raising suspicions in the West that the group was trying to expand its influence and grow as a counterweight to Western institutions such as the OSCE. Iran, part of what President Bush has called an axis of evil, is in a standoff with the West over its nuclear program. India increasingly is becoming a close ally of the United States and recently signed a landmark nuclear cooperation agreement with Washington. Speaking at a Capitol Hill meeting in late June, OSCE Chairman Karel De Gucht said he has concerns about the SCO, which was formed in 2001. "In our organization, all states adhere to common principles, which is the cornerstone of our vision of stability," said Mr. De Gucht, who also is the Belgian foreign minister. "[The SCO is] developing a philosophy on stability, but ... the role of common principles -- democratic principles, that's what we're talking about -- to put it mildly, is not that big," he said. Sen. Sam Brownback, Kansas Republican and chairman of the Helsinki Commission, described the SCO as "a collection of largely authoritarian and anti-democratic regimes with little tolerance for human rights." Although Mr. De Gucht said this wording was too harsh, he added, "I think there is a serious fear that in the minds of some participants, they see it as a competitive organization to the OSCE. I think it's true." SCO member countries deny any anti-Western agenda. A senior adviser in the Russian Embassy who asked that his name be withheld, said that he was disturbed by these comments and that Mr. Brownback's view was "totally the wrong picture." "We are transparent and compete with no one. Do you see any threat here? Why all this talk about threats?" he said. In Beijing, a Chinese government press statement quoted President Hu Jintao as saying the SCO "has always been an open organization that is not exclusive and targets no third party." Kyrgyz Embassy official Kainar Toktomushev said: "I do not see why our relations with the West should be damaged because we are a member of the SCO. The SCO respects democratic principles, and we want expanded ties with Western countries, especially America." Lionel Beehner, a researcher at the Council on Foreign Relations, said touting Iran as a potential member may be responsible for the growing concern in Congress about SCO. "It was a great [public relations] move. There's no way Iran will ever join. But I think it drew a lot of attention and got them in the headlines. And people started to think, 'What kind of a group is this that Iran wants to join?' " Mr. Beehner said. Frederick Starr, chairman of the Johns Hopkins University's Central Asia-Caucasus Institute, said U.S. concern also might stem from fear of Russian influence within the group. "[Russian President Vladimir] Putin has really been the champion of confrontation [with the West]," said Mr. Starr, referring to recent sparring between U.S. and Russian officials over energy policy. At the SCO summit, Mr. Putin proposed the creation of an "energy club" within the SCO. The Russian Embassy senior official said, "This energy idea is no threat. It is quite natural for these states to work together." Roman Vassilenko, press secretary at the Kazakh Embassy in Washington, said Kazakhstan's position as a member of both the OSCE and the SCO proved that any Western fears were unfounded. "We are a committed member of both groups, and we don't see them as being mutually exclusive," he said. Mr. Vassilenko said Kazakhstan's bid for the OSCE chairmanship, which will be decided in December, could be a key for the West to find a bridge to the SCO. "If Kazakhstan gets the chairmanship, it would be a great way for the West to increase its clout in our part of the world. The OSCE has never placed the chair east of Vienna," he said. Mr. Vassilenko also said SCO members

Lopez Obrador announced on July 6 that he will ask Mexico's Federal Electoral Tribunal (TEPJF, aka TRIFE) to review the election results that gave rival candidate Felipe Calderon of President Fox's National Action Party (PAN) amajority of slightly more than one quarter-million votes. "We can't accept these results. There are many irregularities," Lopez Obrador declared. "I don't know of any place in the world with such a competitive election where the count is done in 24 hours and than sent to the tribunals." According to Lopez Obrador campaign coordinator Ricardo Monreal, the presidential hopeful seeks a "vote-by-vote, precinct-by-precinct" recount. The Federal Electoral Institute (IFE), Mexico's government agency that organized and oversaw the elections, reports that Calderon chalked up 15,284,000 votes to obtain 35.88 percent of the total ballots cast, while Lopez Obrador got 14,756,350 votes, or 35.31 percent of the total. The two candidates were trailed by the Institutional Revolutionary Party's (PRI) Roberto Madrazo, Patricia Mercado and Roberto Campa, in that order. Lopez Obrador backers are openly charging the election was a fraud. Elements of Lopez Obrador's pending legal challenge were laid out at a July 5 press conference in Mexico City attended by leaders of the former Mexico City mayor's electoral coalition. In a strong statement, Leonel Cota, national president of Lopez Obrador's PRD, alleged "a state election" was manipulated by "the group in power that seeks to hold power at all costs because their interests are at risk."Building their case, Cota, other leaders of the PRD ,and the allied Labor party contended that more votes than voters were registered at 781 precincts. Also more votes than ballots were counted in 52,000 electoral tallies and, strangely, voter turnout in some places exceeded 100 percent. Lopez Obrador supporter Gerardo Fernandezsaid impossible turnouts occurred in the states of Tamaulipas, Sinaloa, Jalisco, and Guanajuato, among others all Calderon strongholds.Adding that the Lopez Obrador campaign had contacted the European Union with its concerns, Cota said his campaign was soliciting international organisms to request that Mexico's Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) "clean-up the election" so that the next Mexican president is "not illegitimate like Carlos Salinas de Gortari was after 1988." Under fire for his agency's handling of the preliminary vote results, and then speeding along the official results,IFE President Luis Carlos Ugalde defended the July 2 voting as "a clean and transparent election." Ugalde said, "The citizens have manifested their will by a very narrow margin never before seen in Mexico. It's the most competitive presidential election in the history of Mexico." In a public statement just prior to the vote count, the IFE assured it would scrupulously follow all the legal conditions laid out for vote counting.In one victory speech, Felipe Calderon sounded conciliatory but his supporters booed when the virtual president-elect mentioned Andres Manuel Lopez Obradors name. Repeating a mantra from the campaign, and one that is fast reemerging in the press as protests against the election mount, Calderon made a curious reference to a supposedly violent opposition that virtually any journalist would have been hard-pressed to find during the long election race."The peaceful force expressed at the polls won over the violent option of

[cia-drugs] Russian moves spark 'gas OPEC' fears
http://www.isn.ethz.ch/news/sw/details.cfm?id=16364 Russian moves spark 'gas OPEC' fears CIA By Sergei Blagov in Moscow for ISN Security Watch (10/07/06) Despite subsequent denials, recent calls by some Russian officials to create an OPEC-like gas producers' grouping - a reference to the world's oil cartel and its history of politically motivated supply cut-offs - are an ominous sign for European energy supply security. The "gas OPEC" idea was floated in the wake of a price dispute between Moscow and Ukraine that briefly disrupted gas supplies to the EU last January, highlighting Europe's vulnerability to foreign energy providers. As non-Russian EU gas imports come from few sources, the potential creation of a non-Western gas cartel would have serious repercussions for gas supplies to Europe. Russian officials have been increasingly critical of European energy policies and the EU Energy Charter. Notably, Valery Yazev - chairman of the State Duma's (Russia's lower house of parliament) energy committee and head of the Russian Gas Association - has called for the formation of a gas producers' cartel along the lines of the oil market's OPEC. At a May energy conference in Berlin, Yazev accused European bureaucrats of "provoking gas producers to take actions in response." "Acting mainly in isolation, gas suppliers have lost out in the negotiation process, which has been dominated by consumers acting in coordination, as a cartel," Yazev told the Berlin conference. Subsequently, the world's top gas producers, with Russia in the lead, could "create a gas suppliers' alliance that will be more effective and influential than OPEC," Yazev said, criticizing what he called the "monopolies" in the downstream European gas sector, saying those players were "squeezing out suppliers from the gas market." Yazev added that exporting countries could "set up a coordinated transit structure with countries owning trunk gas pipelines that will be more efficient than the EU Energy Charter." A formal or informal cartel? Last month, Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov declined to comment on the possible creation of a gas cartel, calling it "a very delicate matter." However, Russian gas executives indeed have moved to pressure Europe on the issue. Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller recently told a group of European diplomats in Moscow that blocking Gazprom's acquisition plans in Europe "would not bring good results." Following negative reactions from consumers, however, Russia wasted little time denying any cartel ambitions in an attempt to allay fears of plan to either squeeze supplies or prices. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on 20 June that Moscow and Tehran had "no plans to create a 'gas OPEC'." Lavrov's denials followed Tehran's proposal that Iran and Russia establish a joint natural gas venture. "There won't be a cartel, though cooperation between governments that produce and export energy resources, including gas, will increase," Lavrov said. However, talk of a gas cartel resurfaced after last month's summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) - a six-member group that includes China, Russia and Central Asian states - during which Russian President Vladimir Putin's proposal to set up an energy club within the SCO was discussed. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose country has observer status in the SCO, told the Shanghai summit that energy coordination among SCO nations could help "prevent the threats of domineering powers and their aggressive interference in global affairs." He also said Russian-Iranian energy cooperation "could be even more productive if we cooperated in pricing gas and forming the main gas routes." Putin not only advocated the idea of an SCO "energy club," but also said he supported joint Russian-Iranian energy projects. However, he quickly dismissed suggestions of a formal gas cartel and shrugged off claims that a gas joint venture with Iran could amount to an OPEC-style grouping. "OPEC is a cartel, while we will establish a joint venture to coordinate our efforts in third countries and work together on some deposits in both countries," Putin said. "There is no talk of a 'gas OPEC'." But Putin told journalists in Shanghai on 16 June that Russian gas giant Gazprom was prepared to contribute financing and technology to the construction of a gas pipeline from Iran to India via Pakistan. "Such a project would be quite profitable and realistic," Putin said, adding that Turkmenistan also supported the program. The pipeline, together with an upgraded pipeline between Turkmenistan and Iran, could create a vast interconnecting Eurasian network with Gazprom at its center. Subsequently, Gazprom set about intensifying contacts with potential Iranian partners. On 26 June, Gazprom CEO Miller met with Iranian Deputy Oil Minister Hadi Nedjad-Hoisseinian to discuss possible oil and gas production and transit ventures. According to a
[cia-drugs] Fwd: [ctrl] Limbaugh's dysfunction
Begin forwarded message:From: "Alamaine, IVe" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: July 10, 2006 2:44:24 PM PDTTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [ctrl] Limbaugh's dysfunctionReply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Limbaugh's dysfunctionPalm Beach Post Editorialhttp://www.palmbeachpost.com/opinion/content/opinion/epaper/2006/07/09/m2e_limbaugh_edit_0709.htmlSunday, July 09, 2006The criminal justice system continues to treat Rush Limbaugh with the fairness that he claims the system denies him.Last week, the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office correctly concluded that Mr. Limbaugh broke no law by having 29 Viagra pills that were for him but had been prescribed in someone else's name. That decision spares the talk-show host any problems related to his earlier deal with the state attorney's office on a doctor-shopping charge for prescription pain relievers. In both cases, prosecutors stuck to the law and acted professionally.Mr. Limbaugh, though, remains a serial offender when it comes to hypocrisy. On his show, he will embellish or invent any presumed weakness that might embarrass someone he dislikes. But he didn't want it on the record that he needs an erectile-dysfunction drug. Similarly, when he entered treatment for drug addiction in October 2003, he told his audience that he had tried to "always be honest with you and open about my life." Yet, he had gone through rehab twice before that without being "open about my life." Finally, the Palm Beach resident filed his December 2004 divorce in Key West, 220 miles from the Palm Beach County Courthouse, because it was "more convenient" and tried to keep the case sealed.On Wednesday, the self-absorbed Mr. Limbaugh was blaming the federal agents for confiscating the Viagra as part of some vast left-wing conspiracy tied to the 2006 and 2008 elections. The self-proclaimed "truth detector" would rather tell a good story than "be honest."Alamaine, IVeGrand Forks, ND, US of A~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher." - Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)Don't ask about caste or riches but instead ask about conduct.

[cia-drugs] Leading neo-conservative activist slain
http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/ July 10, 2006 -- Leading neo-conservative activist slain on street in trendy Georgetown neighborhood. Alan Senitt, a 27-year old British citizen and leading neo-conservative activist was killed on Q Street, near Wisconsin Avenue in the trendy Georgetown neighborhood just after 2 am Sunday morning. Senitt, an unsuccessful Labor Party candidate for the House of Commons, twice elected as head of Britain's Union of Jewish Students -- a pro-Israel organization -- and a policy adviser for former Virginia Governor Mark Warner's 2008 presidential campaign, died at the site of the attack from a slash wound to his throat. Four individuals from the crime-ridden areas of Southeast and Northeast Washington were arrested for the murder and the attempted rape of Senitt's female companion. The attack occurred while Senitt and his companion were trying to retrieve something from the trunk of a car. Senitt was very active in the neo-conservative movement. He attended the 2003 Interdisciplinary Conference in Herzliya, Israel sponsored by the Institute for Policy and Strategy of the Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy, and Strategy. Senitt represented the Union of Jewish Students of the UK and Ireland. Others in attendance at that meeting included Israeli espionage agent Larry Franklin, the Iraq/Iran Terrorism Desk Office in the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans; Franklin's associate Michael Rubin (later with the American Enterprise Institute); Michael Ledeen, Joshua Muravchik, and Christoper DeMuth of the American Enterprise Institute, Harold Rhode of the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment; Pat Robertson of the Christian Broadcasting Network; Patrick Clawson of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), Ariel Cohen of the Heritage Foundation; Alan Dershowitz of the Harvard Law School; Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League; Jan Van Der Hoeven of the International Christian Zionist Center; Martin Indyk of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy of Brookings; Herbert London of the Hudson Institute; Norman Podhoretz of Commentary magazine, and his wife Midge Decter of various right-wing organizations, including Heritage Foundation, Hoover Institution, and the now-defunct Nicaraguan Freedom Fund; and Kenneth Abramowitz, Managing Director of the Carlyle Group. According to today's Washington Post, Washington police believe that Senitt was the victim of the same gang that had committed robberies of pedestrians in Georgetown and on the Washington Mall. One of the men arrested for the attack denied being involved in the murder although he apologized for what happened while being led away by police in handcuffs. __._,_.___ Complete archives at http://www.sitbot.net/ Please let us stay on topic and be civil.
