Do you want to help out PJ? I thought the last time you were asked, you said you either didn't have time or didn't want to?

Thanks bro, I'm not trying to win over anybody, just stating stuff as I see it.

After you get kicked out of the team... would you really want to go back?

http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/israel-protest-leaders-prepare-for-third-weekend-of-mass-rallies-1.377242


Protests to be held in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the north; Protest in Tel Aviv expected to be largest yet with police closing off major arteries.

Protest leaders are planning a massive rally in Tel Aviv Saturday night for the third consecutive week, hoping to top the 150,000 who came out nationwide a week earlier.

Protests will be held in other locales as well, with activists in the north calling for a demonstration at Shomrim Junction in the Yizrael Valley at 6:00 P.M. Saturday. The rally, held under the slogan, "the northern periphery is awakening" is meant to protest the high cost of living in northern Israel.

A mass protest is planned in Jerusalem as well, and a procession will head off from Jerusalem's Menorah Park to Paris Square at 9:00 PM, where a rally will be held.
There will be a live performance, including Ahinoam Nini, Etnics and Mosh Ben-Ari.

Speakers include the Chairman of the Jerusalem Student Union, Itay Gottler, Rabbi Rafi Feuerstein chairman of the Tzohar Rabbinic Organization, representatives of the teachers union, people who were evicted from their homes and city council member Rachel Azaria.

The Tel Aviv rally is scheduled to take place Saturday night at 9:00 P.M., and is considered the main protest event of the weekend. Demonstrators plan to march from Habima Square, near the tent city on Rothschild Boulevard, to the Kirya defense compound on Kaplan Street, where they will hold the rally.

This time the organizers decided to hold the demonstration outside the Kirya rather than on the square at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Singers Yehudit Ravitz and Rita are to appear at the rally. The speakers' addresses will be broadcast on large screens on both sides of Kaplan street.

Israel police forces have already closed Kaplan Street off to traffic in anticipation of the rally, and will only reopen the main avenue at 4:00 A.M. on Sunday. Parts of Ibn Gvirol, Marmorek, Ben Zion Boulevard, Dizengoff and Rothschild will be blocked as well, and traffic will resume at midnight.

Police have recommended that the public not bring cars to the area.

Roi Noiman, one of the protest leaders, said the demonstration's central message will be "the government has abandoned the people," in the wake of the Knesset's legislation to form housing committees and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ignoring of the protesters' demands.

"The people are taking the country back," he said. "We're expecting a powerful demonstration for social change. This is an opportunity we haven't had for 60 years in this country, and now is the time for people to come out of their homes onto the street."

News Khabran / Sharia law in bid to conquer London
« on: August 06, 2011, 09:21:05 AM »
http://rt.com/news/sharia-law-conquer-london/

Islamists are trying to enforce their severe Sharia law code of conduct in London, to drag “enveloped in sin “ Britain to a sin-free society by any means - from abstention to amputation.

­They’ve started a campaign to make certain areas of London and other cities Islamic law-controlled zones – starting with Walthamstow, East London. They do believe that Islam and Sharia are unstoppable in Europe.

“Muslims will be commanding good and forbidding evil, presenting Islam as an alternative, to the Muslim and non-Muslim community. Ultimately we believe that Muslims can live together, trade according to the Sharia, resolve their problems according to the Sharia, and even police themselves, to a large extent. Hopefully one day we will have Islamic Emirates which will have authority locally, security locally, and even provide welfare locally,” day-dreams Anjem Choudary, spokesperson for Muslims Against the Crusades.

Choudary and his friends are fly-posting parts of London with a large Muslim population. They want to ban drinking, gambling, and playing music. And they say they’ve got bands of young men ready to patrol and enforce Sharia law, by any means.



“Enforcement should initially be on the level of inviting and forbidding verbally. But if someone has the capability to forbid what essentially is evil, like pornography or prostitution, he should do so,” says Sharia supporter Abu Izzadeen, meaning physical rather than verbal preaching. “I believe prostitutes that are near the mosque, they should be run out of the area.”

These Muslims say British society is broken: riddled with drugs, crime and prostitution.  Because of that, they firmly believe members of the communities they are targeting will welcome Sharia law. But the word on the street about the campaign tells a different story.

“If you don’t like the laws of the place you live, then find somewhere you do appreciate the laws. All of these things are completely legal in this country,” one British man told RT.

“This isn’t India or Pakistan. This is England, we’ve got our own laws. People haven’t got a right to come in here and bring their own laws,” one woman declared.

“I think that’ll cause nothing but trouble,” a market trader concluded.

Councillor Martin Easom agrees, saying this could destroy community cohesion.

“We’ve got squads going round the borough, taking down the posters as soon as they’re put up, because we do not want these posters around the borough, they do not represent the views of our borough, they have no place in Waltham Forest,” Martin Easom, chief executive of Waltham Forest Council, stated.

Citizen equality campaigners say the Sharia supporters should not be considered a religious movement, but a far-right political organization – with a poster campaign designed to divide and conquer communities.

“Their danger lies in dividing communities and people, creating mistrust, and particularly among non-Muslims towards moderate Muslims,” Anne Marie Waters of One Law for All movement, said.

“I think this is part of their aim, to create mistrust, so they can then turn to moderate Muslims and say, look everyone hates you, we’re your friend, turn to us.  It’s a very dangerous thing, and it’s a political tactic to increase their own power,” she explained.

Undeterred by his opponents, Choudary and his group plan what they see as the beginning of an Islamic Emirate, not just in the UK, but all over Europe.

The police have mobilized to take those posters down as fast as they appear. But Choudary and his group have formed bands of enforcers to make sure Sharia law is adhered to, verbally or physically. And in other parts of London, women have already been harassed for not covering their heads. Should these Muslims ever get their way, Britain’s traditional way of life would become a risk, rather than a civil liberty.

News Khabran / World reacts to U.S. credit downgrade
« on: August 06, 2011, 09:10:44 AM »
http://www.cnn.com/2011/BUSINESS/08/06/global.economy.reaction/

(CNN) -- International reaction to agency Standard and Poor's decision to downgrade the U.S. credit rating for the first time has been mixed.

The move followed a week in which anxieties over Europe's debt crisis and the faltering U.S. recovery had spooked investors and made for volatile trading Friday, despite the release of stronger-than expected U.S. jobs figures for July.

Asia took a lead Saturday in expressing its concern over the potential impact of S&P's action on the global economy.

In China -- which holds large amounts of U.S. debt -- a commentary published by the official Xinhua news agency was critical of the U.S. government and questioned whether the U.S. dollar should continue to be the global reserve currency.

"China, the largest creditor of the world's sole superpower, has every right now to demand the United States to address its structural debt problems and ensure the safety of China's dollar assets," the commentary said.

S&P's move served "as another warning shot about the long-term sustainability of the U.S. government finances," it added.

"International supervision over the issue of U.S. dollars should be introduced and a new, stable and secured global reserve currency may also be an option to avert a catastrophe caused by any single country."

Washington must stop its practice of "letting its domestic electoral politics take the global economy hostage and rely on the deep pockets of major surplus countries to make up for its perennial deficits," it said.

South Korea's government said it would concentrate on limiting the spread of market uncertainty in the wake of the downgrade, semi-official news agency Yonhap reported.

"The news is bad and Seoul plans to keep very close tabs on how the market reacts," Yoon Jong-won, head of the finance ministry's economic policy bureau, was quoted as saying.

Vice Finance Minister Yim Jong-yong will meet Sunday with senior policymakers from the Bank of Korea and other financial bodies to discuss what actions should be taken by Seoul, Yonhap reported.

Still, Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard urged calm over the U.S. downgrade, pointing out that only one of the three major ratings agencies had taken that decision.

S&P had been signalling they wanted to see a certain reduction in the U.S. deficit for some time, she said Saturday, but "the other two major ratings agencies, Moody's and Fitch, continue to have the American economy rated at AAA. So I think people just need to look at all of the facts."

Gillard also pointed to the strength of the Australian economy, saying: "We are not immune to global events, but I think we should have confidence... that our economic credentials are amongst the best in the world."

Reaction was slow to come out of Europe Saturday, where questions have been raised about how many European leaders -- including the UK's David Cameron, Germany's Angela Merkel and France's Nicolas Sarkozy -- are presently on vacation.

Sarkozy interrupted his holiday Friday to speak with Merkel and Spanish counterpart Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, amid concerns that the euro zone's debt crisis might spread beyond smaller economies like those of Greece, Portugal and Ireland.

Speaking Saturday to the BBC, U.K. Business Secretary Vince Cable pushed back against the suggestion that Cameron and his ministers were out of touch at a time of crisis, saying Britain was only on the periphery of the current issues.

Asked about China's call for a new global reserve currency, Cable said it would be "a sensible way for the world to move" but that it would not happen quickly.

"In the short run, the U.S. dollar is the key international currency and although, frankly, the American legislature has made a terrible mess of things a few weeks ago, they have now got back on track; they have undertaken to manage their debt in a prudent way," he said.

Asked by CNN about the U.S. downgrade, the U.K. Treasury instead pointed to the fact Britain's AAA credit rating had been reaffirmed after the British government took steps to deal with the country's debts.

"This is yet another illustration of why abandoning our deficit reduction plan would put Britain back in the international firing line," a spokesman said.

Global economic anxieties led to volatile trading in Pakistan Friday, CNN affiliate Geo TV reported, as traders there and abroad sought to unload their holdings.

In July, S&P placed the United States' rating on "CreditWatch with negative implications" as the debt ceiling debate devolved into partisan bickering.

To avoid a downgrade, S&P said the United States needed to not only raise the debt ceiling, but also develop a "credible" plan to tackle the nation's long-term debt.

John Chambers, head of sovereign ratings for S&P, said the slowness at raising the debt ceiling and the political infighting led to its decision. In announcing the downgrade, S&P cited "political risks, rising debt burden; outlook negative."

I think the mods here don't have a clue... I always see them saying that they want this to be an open website... but then you see constant editting, locking and deleting of posts. Even if there isn't anything wrong with it... I think you need grown ups in a mod position... (especially on this site)

News Khabran / Re: U.S. Debt Ceiling - A Big issue in US these days
« on: July 30, 2011, 06:25:07 PM »
It's not such a big deal, the media just likes to portray it is. It's just a political battle between the two parties. It'll be good if they default, because America would actually realize something.

Its a tough lesson that they should have learned in 2008. But people like to forget and not give a crap. Lost cause, defaulting is just going to put a lot of people on the streets.

I don think they are saving money to go on a spending spree. A lot companies have an absurd amount of cash on hand, but mostly because of the debt crisis. In 2008 these companies got caught with their pants down and couldn't get financing to fund their day to day operations and R&D.
