FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) — Fears that added layers of austerity will undercut Greek growth and undermine efforts by Athens to slash its debt pile to a sustainable level threatened to overshadow relief sparked by a long-sought agreement Tuesday to extend the country a second bailout, economists said. The Financial Times reported Tuesday that a 10-page analysis of Greece’s debt sustainability prepared for the euro-zone ministers last week found that additional austerity measures being forced on Greece risk creating a recession so deep that Greece won’t manage to whittle down its debt load over the course of the new bailout.

Israel Medical Association Opposes Late Abortion Amendment

By Reuters/Nir Elias The Israel Medical Association expressed opposition Sunday to the passage of a Knesset proposal to amend the section of the Abortion Law that deals with late abortions. MK Nissim Ze’ev (Shas) proposed the amendment on Sunday and demanded that the law prohibit all abortions during the last 18 weeks of gestation. The IMA said that the present law should be left in place because “the amendment will cause more abortions in early stages of pregnancy of fetuses, some of which are healthy.” Prof. Moshe Ben-Ami, chairman of the Israel Gynecology and Obstetrics Society, sent a letter to the Ministerial Committee for Legislation calling on members not to okay ...
Kissinger: We Should Ignore Intelligence And Assume Iran Wants Nukes

Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger said in an interview Sunday that the United States should assume that Iran is actively preparing to build nuclear weapons. Kissinger, 88, was asked on the CNN show “GPS” if the threat of an Iranian nuclear weapon was so dire that Israel would need to launch a military strike in the near future. “I am very uneasy with the so-called intelligence report that say we don’t know whether they are actually working on nuclear weapons,” Kissinger told CNN. “I think we should start from the premise that they are undergoing all this in order to achieve a military capability. I don’t think that is a disputable ...

Pope Denounces 'Gay Lobby' To U.S. Bishops Benedict XVI Urges Prelates To Beef Up Teaching VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict XVI waded deep into U.S. campaign politics Friday, urging visiting U.S. bishops to beef up their teaching about the evils of premarital sex and cohabitation, and denouncing what he called the "powerful" gay marriage lobby in America. As debate over health care coverage for birth control rages in the United States, Benedict said there was an urgent need for Catholics in America to discover the value of chastity -- an essential element of Christian teaching that he said had been subject to unjust "ridicule." Benedict has long championed ...

KABUL — An American soldier wandered outside his base in a remote southern Afghan village shortly before dawn Sunday and opened fire on civilians inside homes, killing at least 16, Afghan and U.S. officials said. The attack marked perhaps the grisliest act by a U.S. soldier in the decade-long Afghan war and seemed all but certain to stoke anti-American anger in a crucial battleground as foreign troops start to thin out in the south. Afghan officials said women and children were among those killed in Panjwai district of Kandahar province, the birthplace of the Taliban movement. Coming as Afghan rage over last month’s burning of Korans by U.S. soldiers was beginning to taper off, ...

The Iron Dome system has intercepted 90 percent of missile attacks on urban centers during the latest rocket bombardment from Gaza. The expensive systems were inaugurated last year amid controversy over its worth. A primitive Kassam rocket costs terrorists only a few hundred dollars while each Iron Dome anti-missile missile costs $50,000. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu stated Saturday night, “We will continue to improve home front defense including by means of additional Iron Dome systems, the effectiveness of which was shown again over the weekend." The Iron Dome system intercepted about 90 percent of the rockets fired at Be’er Sheva, Ashdod and Ashkelon, including ...

Former Mossad chief Meir Dagan, who has more than once expressed his position that an Israeli attack in Iran would be a mistake, is reiterating his position, this time on an American network. In an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” which will air on Sunday and of which portions were released Thursday, Dagan said, “An attack on Iran before you are exploring all other approaches is not the right way how to do it.” According to Dagan, who spoke with Lesley Stahl, “The regime in Iran is a very rational regime.” When asked whether he thinks Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is rational, he answered, “The answer is yes. Not exactly our rational, but I ...
Pope: Condoms OK -- for male prostitutes

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI says in a new book that condoms can be justified for male prostitutes seeking to stop HIV, a stunning turnaround for a church that has long opposed condoms and a pontiff who has blamed them for making the AIDS crisis worse. The pontiff made the comments in a book-length interview with a German journalist, "Light of the World: The Pope, the Church and the Signs of the Times," which is being released Tuesday. The Vatican newspaper ran excerpts on Saturday. Church teaching has opposed condoms because they're a form of artificial contraception although it has never released an explicit policy about condoms and HIV. The Vatican has been ...

America is Israel In order to correctly understand the Bible, it is imperative to know that America and the Christian Nations of the World were founded by God’s People, the literal descendants of the ten lost tribes of Israel. And though there is mountains of historical, Biblical, and prophetic proofs of this, most Christians do not know this. They think they are Gentiles and that the modern day Jews are Israel. There couldn’t be anything further from the truth! Please do your own research on this to learn about your heritage and destiny. And when you finally come to the conclusion of who you are and where you came from, you will be humbled by the awesome responsibilities you ...
Honeybees May Have Personality

Bees have different “personalities”, with some showing a stronger willingness or desire to seek adventure than others, according to a study by entomologists at the University of Illinois. Wired U.K. The researchers found that thrill-seeking is not limited to humans and other vertebrates. The brains of honeybees that were more likely than others to seek adventure exhibited distinct patterns of gene activity in molecular pathways known to be associated with thrill-seeking in humans. The findings present a new perspective on honeybee communities, which were thought to be highly regimented and comprised of a colony of interchangeable workers taking on a few specific roles to serve ...

Australian children to be sterilized without parental consent under new eugenics law by Ethan A. Huff, staff writer (NaturalNews) If you have ever seen the famous 1975 movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, you likely recall several disturbing scenes in which mental health patients are given frontal-lobe lobotomies, or the iconic scene where actor Jack Nicholson's character undergoes electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Today, these horrific forms of so-called mental health treatment are considered to be cruel relics of the past, but a new bill in Australia proposes that young children be given these treatments without parental consent, and even be permitted to undergo sterilization ...

Satellite images of an Iranian military facility appear to show trucks and earth-moving vehicles at the site, indicating an attempted cleanup of radioactive traces possibly left by tests of a nuclear-weapon trigger, diplomats told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The assertions from the diplomats, all nuclear experts accredited to the International Atomic Energy Agency, could add to the growing international pressure on Iran over its nuclear program, which Tehran insists is for peaceful purposes. While the US and the EU are backing a sanctions-heavy approach, Israel has warned that it may resort to a pre-emptive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities to prevent it from obtaining ...

Rothschild Wants Iran’s Banks Posted on February 10, 2012 by Gekko Could gaining control of the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran (CBI) be one of the main reasons that Iran is being targeted by Western and Israeli powers? As tensions are building up for an unthinkable war with Iran, it is worth exploring Iran’s banking system compared to its U.S., British and Israeli counterparts. Some researchers are pointing out that Iran is one of only three countries left in the world whose central bank is not under Rothschild control. Before 9-11 there were reportedly seven: Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Cuba, North Korea and Iran. By 2003, however, Afghanistan and Iraq ...

TEHRAN — Iran’s Supreme Court ordered a retrial for a former U.S. Marine who initially was sentenced to death for spying, the country’s national prosecutor said Monday. Amir Mirzaei Hekmati, 28, an Iranian American who was sentenced in January to be hanged, waited more than a month for the Supreme Court to decide whether he would be the first U.S. citizen to get the death penalty in Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution. Born in Arizona, Hekmati served in the Marine Corps from 2001 to 2005 and fought in Iraq in 2004. He later worked as a contract translator in Afghanistan. He holds an Iranian passport as well as an American one. His Iranian lawyer, Mohammad Hossein ...

Iran Has Right To Have Full Nuclear Fuel Cycle: Russian Official

TEHRAN – Alexander Polischuk, the chairman of the Russia–Iran friendship group, has said the Islamic Republic, like many other countries, has the right to enrich uranium and have access to full nuclear fuel cycle. Speaking to the Voice of Russia, Polischuk said that the main obstacle to the negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program is that from time to time the representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency, inspectors and even some representatives of the 5+1 group (the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany), may put forward some unrealistic preconditions for negotiations, which are not acceptable for the Iranians.” He said, “The ...
Israel Looking Isolated Over Iran Threat

The fear of an Iranian nuclear bomb has been at the centre of Israeli government thinking for more than a decade. Until recently, however, Israel itself was never at the centre of the international effort to halt Iran’s nuclear programme. For all their concerns, Israeli leaders knew that the campaign to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions through diplomacy and sanctions was best left to others. Its involvement in sabotage and covert operations aside, a supporting role made sense to Israel: Framing the issue of an Iranian nuclear bomb as a standoff between Israel and Iran would have damaged the international consensus. No less important, it would also have drawn unwanted attention to ...
