National Situation Update: Tuesday, December 8, 2009

Homeland Security Threat Level: YELLOW (ELEVATED).

Significant National Weather

A major winter storm will move across the Midwest today. The storm center will make it to the Great Lakes by Wednesday. For the latest information on the weather expected with this storm visit the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center at www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wwd/winter_wx.shtml.


West:
Snow is falling across higher elevations of the Southwest. Expect blizzard conditions with heavy snow and winds of 20 to 40 mph with gusts over 60 mph. Total snow amounts of two to four feet are expected with blowing and drifting snow due to the strong winds. Locally heavy rain showers are possible during the morning in southern Arizona and the lower elevations of New Mexico. Skies will clear and precipitation will end this afternoon as the low pressure system moves east. However, gusty winds will continue into the evening.


Midwest:
The low will produce moderate to heavy snow from the Plains into the Upper Mississippi Valley. With sustained winds of 15 to 30 mph and gusts over 40 mph, blizzard conditions are likely. Supplied by moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, the storm will produce a wintry mix over the central Mississippi and Ohio valleys. Tomorrow, the western part of the region begins to clear out but snow will continue to fall around the Great Lakes and the northern and central Mississippi Valley. Snowfall amounts of a foot or more are possible by the time the storm ends.


South:
Moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will be pulled northward over eastern Texas, the southern Plains and the lower Mississippi Valley. Tonight the storm will spread heavy rain across the rest of the Southeast all the way to the Atlantic Coast. During the afternoon and early evening, severe thunderstorms (gusty winds large hail and even tornadoes) are possible over the central Gulf Coast and the Carolinas.
Tomorrow the precipitation will have moved eastward into the Carolinas, Georgia and northern Florida with showers and a few thunderstorms. Rainfall totals are expected to be between one to four inches.


Northeast:
The region will start the day under high pressure but the approaching low pressure system will bring a wintry mix of rain, sleet and freezing rain to West Virginia, Virginia and southwest Pennsylvania by this afternoon. The mixed precipitation should turn to freezing rain by midnight and rain by Wednesday morning. The band of precipitation will continue to move northward reaching northern New York and central New England by tomorrow morning where it will gradually turn into a rain event. The Mid-Atlantic will receive the most precipitation with more than an inch. ( NOAA’s National Weather Service, Various Media Sources)


High surf warning for Hawaii

A very large northwest swell generated over the North Pacific Ocean a few days ago will continue to bring dangerous and possibly damaging surf to exposed shores facing north, west and east through Wednesday. High surf warning is in effect for shores facing north and west on Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui and facing west and northeast on the Big Island. Surf of 30 to 40 feet will continue along north facing shore with some sets of 50 feet on the outer reefs tonight through Wednesday. Surf along west facing shores will be to 30 feet. The high surf, combined with a two foot high tide Tuesday morning, will increase the chance of waves washing onto roads and property along the immediate coast.


This event is being compared to a historical large surf event which took place Dec. 1-4, 1969. People going near the beach in affected areas are being advised to stay away from the water due to dangerous swimming conditions and deadly rip currents. (National Weather Service Honolulu HI)


Hazard Assessment (10 Dec -21 Dec 2009)


  • Dec 10: Heavy, lake-effect snow downwind of the Great Lakes

  • Dec 10-11: Much below normal temperatures spreading south and east across the central and eastern CONUS

  • Dec 10-13: Much below normal temperatures for eastern Montana and the northern Plains

  • Dec 12-16: Periods of heavy precipitation for northern and central California

  • Dec 13-14: Much below normal temperatures for eastern Alaska

  • Severe drought in parts of Wisconsin, Texas, and areas in the western U.S. Some relief is expected across the western U.S.(NWS, Climate Prediction Center)

VOLCANISM NEWS


http://www.fema.gov/hazard/volcano/index.shtm

Volcano

A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a reservoir of molten rock below the surface of the earth. Unlike most mountains, which are pushed up from below, volcanoes are built up by an accumulation of their own eruptive products. When pressure from gases within the molten rock becomes too great, an eruption occurs. Eruptions can be quiet or explosive. There may be lava flows, flattened landscapes, poisonous gases, and flying rock and ash.


Because of their intense heat, lava flows are great fire hazards. Lava flows destroy everything in their path, but most move slowly enough that people can move out of the way.


Fresh volcanic ash, made of pulverized rock, can be abrasive, acidic, gritty, gassy, and odorous. While not immediately dangerous to most adults, the acidic gas and ash can cause lung damage to small infants, to older adults, and to those suffering from severe respiratory illnesses. Volcanic ash also can damage machinery, including engines and electrical equipment. Ash accumulations mixed with water become heavy and can collapse roofs. Volcanic ash can affect people hundreds of miles away from the cone of a volcano.


Sideways directed volcanic explosions, known as "lateral blasts," can shoot large pieces of rock at very high speeds for several miles. These explosions can kill by impact, burial, or heat. They have been known to knock down entire forests.

Volcanic eruptions can be accompanied by other natural hazards, including earthquakes, mudflows and flash floods, rock falls and landslides, acid rain, fire, and (under special conditions) tsunamis.


Active volcanoes in the U.S. are found mainly in Hawaii, Alaska, and the Pacific Northwest. Active volcanoes of the Cascade Mountain Range in California, Oregon, and Washington have created problems recently. The danger area around a volcano covers approximately a 20-mile radius. Some danger may exist 100 miles or more from a volcano, leaving Montana and Wyoming at risk.


What is the history of volcanic eruptions where I live?


How can I protect myself from a volcanic eruption?

Chavez government's battle against drugs has seized "56 Tons of different" drugs this year - 1.8 Tons of Cocaine bound for Spain just seized


CARACAS – December 6, 2009 - Venezuelan authorities seized 1.8 tons of highly pure cocaine hidden in two containers in which cleaning products were being shipped to Spain, Interior Minister Tarek El Aissami said on Sunday.

The shipment was detected Saturday by National Guard members and officials at the Port of La Guaira, the country’s main customs station, located about 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) northwest of Caracas.

The cocaine was found to be distributed in packets hidden in boxes mixed in with others containing the cleaning products, including detergents and disinfectants, El Aissami said.

Authorities are investigating “six people, fully identified, who are not under arrest but are being questioned, and five companies directly involved in the customs procedures” for the containers’ shipment to Europe, El Aissami said.

The seized cocaine “comes from Colombia” and its “final destination (was) Spain,” the interior minister said, asking, “How does so much drug get out under the noses of Colombian authorities?”

The shipment bore “an identification logo of the criminal organization” to which the drug belongs, which is “one more element for the investigation,” El Aissami said.

Drug seizures are “a new result in the (Hugo Chavez) government’s head-on battle ... against the illicit trafficking of drugs,” which has translated into the seizure of “56 tons of different” drugs so far this year in Venezuela, El Aissami said.

Venezuela shares a land border of 2,219 kilometers (1,376 miles) with Colombia.

BlacklistedNews.com | Ramping up Afghanistan war to control Caspian oil and gas transport routes

Published on 12-08-2009

Published on 12-08-2009

The 800-pound gorilla standing in the auditorium at West Point is still waiting for an answer to why Obama made his surge-speech for 30,000 more troops and $30 billion to pay for them. That gorilla wonders “why” Obama pitched so hard for the US to stay and surge through Afghanistan and Pakistan. The reasons given were that the Afghanistan Taliban and Al Qaeda led by Osama bin Laden were the people that attacked us on 9/11, which was an iteration of George W. Bush’s reasons for the War on Terror. They are as phony now as the day Bush promised to smoke out Bin Laden.

But, here are Obama’s actual words, pointed out by Christopher Bollyn on page 2 of his article, Why Afghanistan?

“1. I am convinced that our security is at stake in and . This is the epicenter of the violent extremism practiced by al-Qaeda. It is from here that we were attacked on 9/11, and it is from here that new attacks are being plotted as I speak.

“2. It is important to recall why and our allies were compelled to fight a war in in the first place. We did not ask for this fight. On September 11, 2001, 19 men hijacked four airplanes and used them murder nearly 3,000 people.

“3: If I did not think that the security of the and the safety of the American people were at stake in , I would gladly order every single one of our troops home tomorrow.”

Also, as early as Oct. 14, 2001, a month and three days after 9/11, Bollyn wrote in The Great Game – The War For Caspian Oil And Gas: “President Bush’s ‘crusade’ against the Taliban of Afghanistan has more to do with control of the immense oil and gas resources of the Caspian Basin than it does with ‘rooting out terrorism.’

“Once again an American president from the Bush family is leading Americans down an oil-rich Middle Eastern warpath against ‘enemies of freedom and democracy.’

“President George W. Bush, whose family is well connected to oil and energy companies, has called for an international crusade against Islamic terrorists, who he says hate Americans simply because we are ‘the brightest beacon of freedom.’

“The focus on religion-based terrorism serves to conceal important aspects of the Central Asian conflict. President Bush’s noble rhetoric about fighting for justice and democracy is masking a less noble struggle for control of an estimated $5 trillion of oil and gas resources from the Caspian Basin .

Bollyn goes on to explain that the elder Bush’s Desert Storm military campaign in 1991 yielded secure access to the huge Rumaila oil field of southern . It was made to happen by expanding the boundaries of after the war. This enabled , the former British protectorate and home to American and British oil companies’ investments, to double its prewar oil output . . .” Bollyn got it down cold even then.

He told how the infamous Enron, the now bankrupt Texas gas and energy company, along with Amoco, British Petroleum, Chevron, Exxon Mobil and Unocal were wrapped in a cabal to suck up the multi-billion dollar reserves of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Terkmenistan, three freshly independent Soviet republics bordering the Caspian Sea. The American negotiators included the usual suspects, James Baker, Brent Snowcroft, Dick Cheney, and Jon Sununu.

Bollyn also pointed out that Turkmenistan and Azerbijan had close ties to Israeli interests and intelligence. In Turkmenistan, the ex-intel agent, and main go-to for Israeli was Yosef A. Maiman, president of Merhav Group of Israel. He was the anointed negotiator and policy maker tasked to “develop” energy resources there. And that holds to this day.

Back then, Maiman also mentioned to the Wall Street Journal his role was to further the “geopolitical goals of both the US and Israel in Central Asia. We are doing what US and Israeli policy could not achieve, controlling the transport route is controlling the product.”

Stability Police Force (SPF) created in the U.S. Marshals Service and staffed by a 6,000 member “hybrid option”


Security requires a mix of military and police forces to deal with a range of threats from insurgents to criminal organizations. This research examines the creation of a high-end police force, which the authors call a Stability Police Force (SPF).

The study considers what size force is necessary, how responsive it needs to be, where in the government it might be located, what capabilities it should have, how it could be staffed, and its cost.

This monograph also considers several options for locating this force within the U.S. government, including the U.S. Marshals Service, the U.S. Secret Service, the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) in the Department of State, and the U.S. Army's Military Police.

The authors conclude that an SPF containing 6,000 people — created in the U.S. Marshals Service and staffed by a “hybrid option,” in which SPF members are federal police officers seconded to federal, state, and local police agencies when not deployed — would be the most effective of the options considered.


The Stability Police Force (SPF) would be able to deploy in 30 days. The cost for this option would be $637.3 million annually, in FY2007 dollars.

The Waffen-SS (German for "Armed SS", literally "Weapons SS") was the combat arm of the Schutzstaffel ("Protective Squadron") or SS, an organ of the Nazi Party.

The Waffen-SS saw action throughout World War II and grew from three regiments to over 38 divisions, and served alongside the Wehrmacht Heer regular army, but was never formally part of it. It was Adolf Hitler's will that the Waffen-SS never be integrated into the army: it was to remain the armed wing of the Party and to become an elite police force once the war was over. Operational control of units on the front line was given to the Army's High Command, but in all other respects it remained under the control of Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler's SS organization, through the SS Führungshauptamt, literally The SS Guidance Principal Office.

At first membership was open to "Aryans" only in accordance with the racial policies of the Nazi state, but in 1940 Hitler authorized the formation of units composed largely or solely of foreign volunteers and conscripts, and by the end of the war ethnic non-Germans made up approximately 60% of the Waffen-SS.




Telegraph.co.uk | American Indian land sold off by IRS to pay off taxes

US tax officials have sold off thousands of acres of an impoverished South Dakota Crow Creek reservation due to Bureau of Indian Affairs error in what the tribe claims is a "shameful" and unprecedented breach of laws protecting Native Americans.

More than 20 percent of the nation’s water treatment systems have violated key provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act over the last five years






Millions in U.S. Drink Dirty Water, Records Show


December 7, 2009 - Law requires communities to deliver safe tap water to local residents. But since 2004, the water provided to more than 49 million people has contained illegal concentrations of chemicals like arsenic or radioactive substances like uranium, as well as dangerous bacteria often found in sewage.

Regulators were informed of each of those violations as they occurred. But regulatory records show that fewer than 6 percent of the water systems that broke the law were ever fined or punished by state or federal officials, including those at the Environmental Protection Agency, which has ultimate responsibility for enforcing standards.

Studies indicate that drinking water contaminants are linked to millions of instances of illness within the United States each year.

Globalist Bankers get rich off the backs of the world’s most impoverished by buying up countries old debt - pennies on the dollar





December 7, 2009 - Vulture funds are private companies that buy up impoverished countries’ old debt, usually for pennies on the dollar. They wait until a country receives international cancellation of its other debts – a process that is intended to enable governments to engage in desperately needed education and health spending – and then sue the country in U.S. or European courts for the full face value of the debt, plus extra charges, for a huge profit.

Liberia is the most recent country to fall into the talons of a “vulture fund.” Last week, British courts ruled that Liberia has to pay $20 million to two vulture funds, Wall Capital Ltd. and Hamsah Investments, for a debt that dates back to 1978.

Liberia’s case shows how critical the fight against vultures is. We must work to end their predatory practices before any more countries have to suffer – and before any more bankers get rich off the backs of the world’s most impoverished.

The Stop VULTURE Funds Act is a bill currently in the House of Representatives, which would take away the ability and incentive for vulture funds to make exorbitant amounts of money off of the most impoverished by limiting the interest rates they can charge. The bill would also require private creditors to disclose much more information about their own business practices before they can sue a poor country in U.S. courts – including how much they paid for the debt in the first place.

Liberia’s story is extreme, but also representative of the struggle of many countries around the world who are trying to do everything they can to succeed, but who continue to be pushed back down the mountain ... FULL STORY

Numbers of East Europeans being trafficked as sex slaves is growing steeply as London prepares to host the Olympic Games in 2012




The "merchandise", a Lithuanian girl in her 20s, stands to the left, helplessly watching the deal. She is a prisoner, guarded by another thug just out of the picture.

December 7, 2009 - She would have been expected to earn her new owner £100,000 a year by having sex up to 25 times a day in a brothel.

But she was lucky. Cops swooped to free her - and a gang of Albanian people traffickers were all jailed for a total of 63 years.

Many other girls are not so fortunate. The Home Office estimated that in 2003, 4,000 women were trafficked into the UK for prostitution.

Some came willingly, but others were tricked here with the promise of jobs, then held captive and forced to work as sex slaves.

Worryingly, senior officers fear the numbers of East Europeans being trafficked is growing steeply as London prepares to host the Olympic Games in 2012.

Police released the photo on this page for the first time to raise awareness of the evil trade. Detective Chief Superintendent Richard Martin, of the Metropolitan Police Clubs and Vice Unit, said: "The man to the left in the picture has £3,000 in cash in his hand, with which he is buying a human being.

"She is just a commodity to them. She is an item for selling sex ...

First Direct Observation of a Planet-Like Object Orbiting Star Similar to Sun


http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091203141909.htm

This August 2009 discovery image of GJ 758 B was taken with the Subaru Telescope’s HiCIAO instrument in the near infrared, which measures and records differences in heat. Without the special technique employed here (angular differential imaging), the star’s glare would overwhelm the light from the planet candidates. The planet-like object, GJ 758 B, is circled as B in the lower right portion of the image. An unconfirmed companion planet or planet-like object, C, can be viewed above B. The star, GJ 758, is located at the center of the image, at the hub of the starburst. The graphic at the top compares the orbital distances of solar system planets.

An international team of scientists that includes an astronomer from Princeton University has made the first direct observation of a planet-like object orbiting a star similar to the sun.

The finding marks the first discovery made with the world’s newest planet-hunting instrument on the Hawaii-based Subaru Telescope and is the first fruit of a novel research collaboration announced by the University in January.

The object, known as GJ 758 B, could be either a large planet or a “failed star,” also known as a brown dwarf. The faint companion to the sun-like star GJ 758 is estimated to be 10 to 40 times as massive as Jupiter and is a “near neighbor” in our Milky Way galaxy, hovering a mere 300 trillion miles from Earth.

AP | Jobless professionals vie for holiday sales work



Mara Proctor used to design limestone hearths and columns for luxury homes near Kansas City, drawing on her college education and six years of training.

These days, she's leading customers around a store that sells sculptured snowmen and Santa figurines.

It isn't by choice. Until a few weeks ago, Proctor was among the record 5.9 million Americans who have been jobless for at least six months. Now she belongs to a subset of that group: Out-of-work professionals and managers, engineers and teachers who have turned, in desperation, to holiday-season jobs as sales clerks.

Retailers report a surge in applications this year from professionals who had never applied for such jobs before.

"You'll find Wall Street stock brokers and small business owners trying to find temporary retail jobs during the holidays," said Ellen Davis, vice president of the National Retail Federation.

The pay is low, the jobs temporary. And the work is hardly equal to their experience or expertise. Yet the nation's unemployment crisis left these people jobless so much longer than they'd expected that many count themselves fortunate to have anything.

Laid off eight months ago, Proctor said she figured, "OK, I'll do the unemployment thing for a couple of weeks and get a new job."

"It was very naive," she said. "You start calling all your contacts, and you find out they're all laid off, too, so your contacts list doesn't mean anything."

In a bleak labor market, holiday-season hiring has meant at least a respite for many long-term unemployed. Not that it's easy to land even these jobs. Most retailers have cut back. And overall in the economy, six applicants, on average, are competing for each opening — compared with just 1.7 workers per opening when the recession began in December 2007.

For the stores, though, the availability of clerks with experience managing or working effectively with co-workers is a luxury. They've been able to cull the excellent from the merely qualified.

"It enables us to be somewhat more selective and hire a higher-caliber" clerk, said Glenn Album, vice president of human resources at Toys R Us. Album said the company this year has hired, among others, former teachers and an accountant.

"What's great with the higher-caliber team members is there is much, much better service in the store," he said ... FULL STORY
