			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>August 31, 2010 &#8211; Vibration throughout the frequency spectrum of sound, heat, and light, is the organizational principle of matter.  Sound is the organizational principle of our Universe, of physical matter and most importantly, living matter.</p>
<p>The science of Cymatics illustrates that when sound waves move thru a physical medium (air, water, sand, metallic particles, etc.) the frequency of the waves has a direct effect upon the structures that are created by the sound waves as they pass thru that particular medium.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Imagine an incredibly powerful, wealthy person who secretly prospers from conflict, disease and war learns that certain sound frequencies (those easily divisible by two, signifying opposition) create conflict, discord and disharmony while those divisible by three  (signifying balance, polity, reconciliation, harmony) produce symmetry, and visually harmonic, pleasing structures.</p>
<p>Now imagine that he has the power to establish the tuning standard of all musical instruments throughout the Western World.</p>
<p>Imagine that he bases the entire scale of musical artistic creation upon a frequency that would skew vibrations towards discord.</p>
<p>It sounds like science fiction.  Yet this is exactly what transpired in September 1939 when Rockefeller (Illuminati) financial interests dictated that the standard tuning for the note of &#8220;A&#8221; above middle C would henceforth be said to vibrate at precisely 440 cycles per second.</p>
<p>This unnatural standard tuning frequency, removed from the symmetry of sacred vibrations and overtones, has declared war on the subconscious mind of Western Man.</p>
<p>The standard tuning fork, which is set to vibrate the note &#8220;A&#8221; above middle C at 440 cycles per second, is based upon a frequency only divisible by two rather than three, which means that all of the musical notes both above and below it are affected.</p>
<p>Despite the apparent &#8220;sweet music&#8221; a symphony orchestra can produce, when all instruments are tuned based on the A=440Hz key frequency, they are covert weapons no matter what &#8220;music&#8221; they may be playing.</p>
<p>These destructive frequencies entrain the thoughts towards disruption, disharmony, and disunity.  Additionally, they also stimulate the controlling organ of the body &#8211; the brain &#8211; into disharmonious resonance, which ultimately creates disease and war.</p>
<p>In a paper entitled &#8220;Musical Cult Control,&#8221; Dr. Leonard Horowitz writes:</p>
<p>The music industry &#8220;&#8230;features this imposed frequency that is &#8216;herding&#8217; populations into greater aggression, psycho social agitation, and emotional distress predisposing people to physical illness&#8230;.&#8221; while the agents of this conspiracy provide &#8216;therapeutic&#8217; pacification in the form of myriad psychotropic drugs and tranquilizers for the stress they purposely created, and chemotherapy for the more serious illnesses it inspires.&#8221;</p>
<p>He says, &#8220;Energy (vibration) impacts &#8220;life&#8221; (biology) and our bodies through the most common medium of life:  water.  Our body weight, which is nearly 80 percent water, vibrates and resonates to frequencies, and frequencies entrain our physical matter as well as thought processes.  Light and sound have been shown as the primary drivers of intercellular communication, which indicates that our health, or lack of it, may indeed by a product of the vibrational resonance of sound and light.&#8221;</p>
<p>As noted, the Rothschild-Rockefeller (Illuminati) alliance chose &#8220;&#8230;.to determine the musical factors capable of producing psycho pathology, emotional distress and &#8216;mass hysteria.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>The initial effort to make A=440 Hz the basis of standard tuning took place in 1910 when the Rockefeller Foundation issued a grant to the American Federation of Musicians to popularize the concept.  The initial effort failed.</p>
<p>However, the BSI &#8212; British Standards Institute &#8212; officially adopted A=440 Hz in 1939, promoted by the strange consortium of Rockefeller Foundation influence and the Nazi government.  Ironically, The British adopted a tuning standard promoted by the Third Reich, just as both went to war.  While 440Hz had been rejected by British musicians only 3 months prior, Josef Goebbels persuaded the BSI to adapt 440Hz saying it was of extraordinary importance.</p>
<p>As Dr. Leonard Horowitz concludes:  &#8220;Music bioenergetically affects your body chemistry, psycho  neuro immunology, and health.  Your body is now vibrating musically, audibly and subliminally, according to an institutionally imposed frequency in harmony with aggression and in dissonance rather than vibrating in harmony with Love.&#8221;</p>
<p>Musical instrument tuning using the artificially imposed standard of A=440Hz may promote physical and mental disease and distrust, while effectively suppressing spirituality, intuition and creativity.  This universal tuning frequency has been empirically shown to suppress the creative, intuitive aspects of our mind, while negatively affecting our body chemistry and our immune systems.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if anyone can prove a direct link between aggression, disassociation, paranoia and violence to a tuning system that was promoted by both the Rockefellers and the Third Reich.  However, just the fact that these two entities came together to push this standard is more than suspicious in my mind.</p>
<p>Although more than a few people have made the connection between the music of John Philip Sousa and his marching music as a stimulus to war, that specific link is in reference to composition, not frequency and vibration based on a tuning system.</p>
<p>&#8220;Intuitively, I think my sources are correct.  But how does one go about <em>proving</em> that a specific frequency tuning is creating social stress, disharmony or physical violence and war?  But the fact that the Rockefellers and the Third Reich pushed this tuning standard over the opposition of British musicians makes it suspicious, even sinister.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Rockefeller&#8211;Illuminati axis, their money and research, imposed this artificial tuning &#8220;standard&#8221; upon Mankind for the purpose of creating chaos. It continues to this day to funnel our minds and emotions along paths of negativity.  It is high time for new, good vibrations to become ascendant and a &#8220;new standard&#8221; of vibrational tuning to emerge.   It is time for the power of Love to triumph!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong></strong>By Paul Craig Roberts</p>
<p>August 27, 2010 &#8211; Chuck Norris is no pinko-liberal-commie, and Human Events is a very conservative publication. The two have come together to produce one of the most important articles of our time, <a href="http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article26246.htm">Obama’s US Assassination Program</a>.</p>
<p>It seems only yesterday that Americans, or those interested in their civil liberties, were shocked that the Bush regime so flagrantly violated the FlSA law against spying on American citizens without a warrant. A federal judge serving on the FISA court even resigned in protest to the illegality of the spying.</p>
<p>Nothing was done about it. “National security” placed the president and executive branch above the law of the land. Civil libertarians worried that the U.S. government was freeing its power from the constraints of law, but no one else seemed to care.</p>
<p>Encouraged by its success in breaking the law, the executive branch early this year announced that the Obama regime has given itself the right to murder Americans abroad if such Americans are considered a “threat.” “Threat” was not defined and, thus, a death sentence would be issued by a subjective decision of an unaccountable official.</p>
<p>There was hardly a peep out of the public or the media. Americans and the media were content for the government to summarily execute traitors and turncoats, and who better to identify traitors and turncoats than the government with all its spy programs.</p>
<p>The problem with this sort of thing is that once it starts, it doesn’t stop. As Norris reports citing Obama regime security officials, the next stage is to criminalize dissent and criticism of the government. The May 2010 National Security Strategy states: “We are now moving beyond traditional distinctions between homeland and national security. This includes a determination to prevent terrorist attacks against the American people by fully coordinating the actions that we take abroad with the actions and precautions that we take at home.”</p>
<p>Most Americans will respond that the “indispensable” U.S. government would never confuse an American exercising First Amendment rights with a terrorist or an enemy of the state. But, in fact, governments always have. Even one of our Founding Fathers, John Adams and the Federalist Party, had their “Alien and Sedition Acts” which targeted the Republican press.</p>
<p>Few with power can brook opposition or criticism, especially when it is a simple matter for those with power to sweep away constraints upon their power in the name of “national security.” Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan recently explained that more steps are being taken, because of the growing number of Americans who have been “captivated by extremist ideology or causes.” Notice that this phrasing goes beyond concern with Muslim terrorists.</p>
<p>In pursuit of hegemony over both the world and its own subjects, the U.S. government is shutting down the First Amendment and turning criticism of the government into an act of “domestic extremism,” a capital crime punishable by execution, just as it was in Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Russia.</p>
<p>Initially German courts resisted Hitler’s illegal acts. Hitler got around the courts by creating a parallel court system, like the Bush regime did with its military tribunals. It won’t be long before a decision of the U.S. Supreme Court will not mean anything. Any decision that goes against the regime will simply be ignored.</p>
<p>This is already happening in Canada, an American puppet state. Writing for the Future of Freedom Foundation, Andy Worthington documents the lawlessness of the U.S. trial of Canadian Omar Khadr. In January of this year, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the interrogation of Khadr constituted “state conduct that violates the principles of fundamental justice” and “offends the most basic Canadian standards about the treatment of detained youth suspects.” According to the Toronto Star, the Court instructed the government to “shape a response that reconciled its foreign policy imperatives with its constitutional obligations to Khadr,” but the puppet prime minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, ignored the Court and permitted the U.S. government to proceed with its lawless abuse of a Canadian citizen.</p>
<p>September 11 destroyed more than lives, World Trade Center buildings, and Americans’ sense of invulnerability. The event destroyed American liberty, the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BEIJING, China &#8211; August 25, 2010 &#8211; China has developed a bus that straddles the road, thereby allowing it to pass over normal road traffic on China’s busy city streets. The buses are 18 feet wide and 13.5 feet high, which means they take up two lanes on most roadways.</p>
<p>They are actually proceeding with this particular idea and I suspect that we will see it in pilot mode. I do not think that they will be able to avoid a guardrail configuration though. Placed at a height of up to ten feet it would consist of a post and beam structure that would not impede pedestrian traffic and the post spacing could be rather substantial as needed for alley access.</p>
<p>One can even provide popup beams for truck access and the like in certain circumstances. At ten feet or even more, you do not interfere with normal cross street traffic.</p>
<p>The challenge is to avoid creating a new barrier if one wishes to deploy this on urban main streets with lots of traffic.</p>
<p>Obviously though, cost will drive this and that will be the main reason this option may be adopted. Plenty of high volume corridors simply do not as yet justify a subway but definitely need better public transportation options.</p>
<p>One excellent application will be center-to-center movement along existing freeway connections in U.S. cities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BOSTON, Massachusetts &#8211; August 24, 2010 &#8211; As the privacy controversy around full-body security scans begins to simmer, it’s worth noting that courthouses and airport security checkpoints aren’t the only places where backscatter x-ray vision is being deployed. The same technology, capable of seeing through clothes and walls, has also been rolling out on U.S. streets.</p>
<p>American Science &amp; Engineering, a company based in Billerica, Massachusetts, has sold U.S. and foreign government agencies more than 500 backscatter x-ray scanners mounted in vans that can be driven past neighboring vehicles to see their contents, Joe Reiss, a vice president of marketing at the company told me in an interview. While the biggest buyer of AS&amp;E’s machines over the last seven years has been the Department of Defense operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, Reiss says law enforcement agencies have also deployed the vans to search for vehicle-based bombs in the U.S.</p>
<p>“This product is now the largest selling cargo and vehicle inspection system ever,” says Reiss.</p>
<p>The Z Backscatter Vans, or ZBVs, as the company calls them, bounce a narrow stream of x-rays off and through nearby objects, and read which ones come back. Absorbed rays indicate dense material such as steel. Scattered rays indicate less-dense objects that can include explosives, drugs, or human bodies. That capability makes them powerful tools for security, law enforcement, and border control.</p>
<p>It would also seem to make the vans mobile versions of the same scanning technique that’s riled privacy advocates as it’s been deployed in airports around the country. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) is currently suing the DHS to stop airport deployments of the backscatter scanners, which can reveal detailed images of human bodies. (Just how much detail became clear last May, when TSA employee Rolando Negrin was charged with assaulting a coworker who made jokes about the size of Negrin’s genitalia after Negrin received a full-body scan.)</p>
<p>“It’s no surprise that goverments and vendors are very enthusiastic about [the vans],” says Marc Rotenberg, executive director of EPIC. “But from a privacy perspective, it’s one of the most intrusive technologies conceivable.”</p>
<p>AS&amp;E’s Reiss counters privacy critics by pointing out that the ZBV scans don’t capture nearly as much detail of human bodies as their airport counterparts. The company’s marketing materials say that its “primary purpose is to image vehicles and their contents,” and that “the system cannot be used to identify an individual, or the race, sex or age of the person.”</p>
<p>Though Reiss admits that the systems “to a large degree will penetrate clothing,” he points to the lack of features in images of humans like the one shown at right, far less detail than is obtained from the airport scans. “From a privacy standpoint, I’m hard-pressed to see what the concern or objection could be,” he says.</p>
<p>But EPIC’s Rotenberg says that the scans, like those in the airport, potentially violate the fourth amendment. “Without a warrant, the government doesn’t have a right to peer beneath your clothes without probable cause,” he says. Even airport scans are typically used only as a secondary security measure, he points out. “If the scans can only be used in exceptional cases in airports, the idea that they can be used routinely on city streets is a very hard argument to make.”</p>
<p>The TSA’s official policy dictates that full-body scans must be viewed in a separate room from any guards dealing directly with subjects of the scans, and that the scanners won’t save any images. Just what sort of safeguards might be in place for AS&amp;E’s scanning vans isn’t clear, given that the company won’t reveal just which law enforcement agencies, organizations within the DHS, or foreign governments have purchased the equipment. Reiss says AS&amp;E has customers on “all continents except Antarctica.”</p>
<p>Reiss adds that the vans do have the capability of storing images. “Sometimes customers need to save images for evidentiary reasons,” he says. “We do what our customers need.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BERLIN, Germany &#8211; August 21, 2010 &#8211; The production of the RFID chips, an integral element of the new generation of German identity cards, has started after the government gave a 10 year contract to the chipmaker NXP in the Netherlands. Citizens will receive the mandatory new ID cards from the first of November.</p>
<p>Various German authorities will be able to identify persons fast and reliable by scanning the RFID citizen card. These will be the police, customs and tax authorities and of course the local registration and passport granting authorities.</p>
<p>The new ID card will contain all personal data on the security chip that can be accessed over a wireless connection.</p>
<p>The new card allows German authorities to identify people with speed and accuracy, the government said. These authorities include the police, customs and tax authorities and of course the local registration and passport granting authorities.</p>
<p>German companies like Infineon and the Dutch NXP, which operates a large-scale development and manufacturing base in Hamburg, Germany are global leaders in making RFID security chips. The new electronic ID card, which will gradually replace the old mandatory German ID cards, is one of the largest scale rollouts of RFID cards with extended official and identification functionality.</p>
<p>The card will also have extended functionality, including the ability to enable citizens to identify themselves in the Internet by using the ID card with a reading device at home. After registering an online account bonded to the ID card, are able to do secure online shopping, downloading music and most importantly interact with government authorities online, for example.</p>
<p>Biometric passports in a number of countries are equipped with RFID chips, containing a digital picture and fingerprints, and have been around for nearly 5 years after the United States required such passports for any person entering the country.</p>
<p>There are some concerns that the use of RFID chips will pose a security or privacy risk, however.</p>
<p>Early versions of the electronic passports, using RFID chips with a protocol called &#8220;basic access control&#8221; (BAC), where successfully hacked by university researchers and security experts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WASHINGTON &#8211; August 23, 2010 &#8211; The Department of Justice is seeking to hire linguists fluent in Ebonics to help monitor, translate, and transcribe the secretly recorded conversations of subjects of narcotics investigations, according to federal records.</p>
<p>A maximum of nine Ebonics experts will work with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Atlanta field division, where the linguists, after obtaining a DEA Sensitive security clearance, will help investigators decipher the results of “telephonic monitoring of court ordered nonconsensual intercepts, consensual listening devices, and other media.”</p>
<p>The DEA’s need for full-time linguists specializing in Ebonics is detailed in bid documents related to the agency’s mid-May issuance of a request for proposal (RFP) covering the provision of as many as 2100 linguists for the drug agency’s various field offices. Answers to the proposal were due from contractors on July 29.</p>
<p>In contract documents, Ebonics is listed among 114 languages for which prospective contractors must be able to provide linguists.</p>
<p>The 114 languages are divided between “common languages” and “exotic languages.” Ebonics is listed as a “common language” spoken solely in the United States.</p>
<p>Ebonics has widely been described as a nonstandard variant of English spoken largely by African Americans. John R. Rickford, a Stanford University professor of linguistics, has described it as “Black English” and noted that “Ebonics pronunciation includes features like the omission of the final consonant in words like ‘past’ (pas’ ) and ‘hand’ (han’), the pronunciation of the th in ‘bath’ as t (bat) or f (baf), and the pronunciation of the vowel in words like ‘my’ and ‘ride’ as a long ah (mah, rahd).”</p>
<p>However, Ebonics is not a true dialect; it is just a bastardization of the English language.</p>
<p>The Department of Justice RFP does not, of course, address questions of vernacular, dialect, or linguistic merit. It simply sought proposals covering the award of separate linguist contracts for seven DEA regions. The agency spends about $70 million annually on linguistic service programs, according to contract records.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania &#8211; August 22, 2010 &#8211; Between her blog and infrequent contributions to ehow.com over the last few years she says she’s made about $50. To Marilyn Bess, her website is a hobby. To the city of Philadelphia it’s a potential moneymaker, and the city wants its cut.</p>
<p>In May, the city sent Bess a letter demanding that she pay $300, the price of a business privilege license.</p>
<p>“The real kick in the pants is that I don’t even have a full-time job, so for the city to tell me to pony up $300 for a business privilege license, pay wage tax, business privilege tax, net profits tax on a handful of money is outrageous,” Bess says.</p>
<p>It would be one thing if Bess’ website were, well, an actual business, or if the amount of money the city wanted didn’t outpace her earnings six-fold. Sure, the city has its rules; and yes, cash-strapped cities can’t very well ignore potential sources of income. But at the same time, there must be some room for discretion and common sense.</p>
<p>When Bess pressed her case to officials with the city’s now-closed tax amnesty program, she says, “I was told to hire an accountant.”</p>
<p>She’s not alone. After dutifully reporting even the smallest profits on their tax filings this year, a number &#8211; though no one knows exactly what that number is &#8211; of Philadelphia bloggers were dispatched letters informing them that they owe $300 for a privilege license, plus taxes on any profits they made.</p>
<p>Even if, as with Sean Barry, that profit is $11 over two years.</p>
<p>To say that these kinds of draconian measures are detrimental to the public discourse would be an understatement.</p>

<p><strong>LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia -</strong> August 18, 2010 &#8211; Radio talk-show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger announced Tuesday she will not renew her contract that is up at the end of the year, telling CNN&#8217;s &#8220;Larry King Live&#8221; she wants to &#8220;regain my First Amendment rights.&#8221;</p>
<p>Schlessinger, 63, has been under fire for using the word “nigger” repeatedly during an on-air conversation last week with a caller.</p>
<p>In announcing her decision &#8220;not to do radio anymore&#8221; after being in the business for more than 30 years, Schlessinger said, &#8220;I want to be able to say what&#8217;s on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry or some special-interest group deciding this is a time to silence a voice of dissent.&#8221;</p>
<p>National furor erupted when Schlessinger used the word “nigger” 11 times in five minutes during a call August 10 with an African-American caller who was seeking advice on how to deal with racist comments from her white husband&#8217;s friends and relatives. The conversation evolved into a discussion on whether it&#8217;s appropriate to use the word ever, with Schlessinger arguing it&#8217;s used on HBO and by black comedians.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> </strong>By Stephen Lendman</p>
<p>PANAMA CITY BEACH, Florida &#8211; August 17, 2010 &#8211; On August 15, AP reported that Obama gave his &#8220;personal assurances of (the) Gulf&#8217;s safety,&#8221; saying, &#8220;Beaches all along the Gulf Coast are clean, they are safe, and they are open for business.&#8221;</p>
<p>He lied.</p>
<p>The same day, BBC reported, &#8220;Barack Obama has taken a swim in the Gulf of Mexico (to) reassure Amerikans that the waters are safe despite the recent oil (gusher).&#8221;</p>
<p>U.S. corporate media reporters repeated the message, CNN&#8217;s senior White House correspondent Ed Henry among them, stating, &#8220;Obama takes (the) plunge, swims in the Gulf (to show it&#8217;s safe and) open for business.&#8221;</p>
<p>In fact, area businesses continue to be severely impacted and the entire region is dangerously unsafe.</p>
<p>As for Obama&#8217;s swim, on August 16, the <em>London Independent</em> reported that Obama and his daughter, Sasha, swam in a private Panama City Beach, Florida beach off Alligator Point in St. Andrew Bay, which is not part of the Gulf of Mexico.</p>
<p>Reporters were banned and no TV or video was permitted. &#8220;So&#8230; only the White House photographer was allowed to capture proceedings. The official picture was intended to provide evidence that the region&#8217;s beaches are back to normal.&#8221;</p>
<p>That statement is false. A dangerously toxic oil/dispersant brew contaminates much, if not the entire Gulf. It&#8217;s poisoned and potentially lethal for decades, maybe even generations. Nothing in it should be ingested. Millions in the region are at risk. No one should swim in coastal waters or eat any Gulf seafood. Responsible officials should ban it. Instead, the all clear has been given.</p>
<p>Obama, his officials and BP executives are criminally liable. So are state governors, coastal mayors and regional health authorities.</p>
<p>Area residents with children should leave. Tourists should avoid the region. A growing catastrophe will continue for decades, including a silent epidemic of cancers and other diseases, as well as lives and livelihoods lost.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the major media&#8217;s unreported reality, which is worsening, not improving daily.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>VIENNA, Austria &#8211; August 15, 2010 &#8211; Ignoring a U.S. warning, Arab nations are urging Washington and other powers to end support of Israel’s nuclear secrecy and to push the Jewish state to allow international inspections of its program, diplomats told The Associated Press Sunday.</p>
<p>Islamic nations have long called for Israel &#8211; which is widely believed to have nuclear arms &#8211; to open its program. But the fact that the Arab League has directly approached Washington and other Israeli allies for support at the September meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency is significant, considering that illegitimate President Barack Obama last month warned against using that forum to single out Israel.</p>
<p>Obama then suggested that such a move would likely kill hopes of breakthrough talks on a Mideast nuclear-free zone, as proposed by the U.N.’s 189-nation Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty conference three months ago.</p>
<p>Over Israeli objections, the planned 2012 talks were backed by the U.S. and other nuclear powers for the first time since Arab nations pushed for such a gathering 15 years ago.</p>
<p>The Arab appeal to pressure Israel to open its nuclear program to inspectors also threatens to deflect attention from Iran, which Washington and its allies now consider a grave nuclear proliferation threat, even though Teheran insists it is not developing nuclear weapons.</p>
<p>The Arab appeal is contained in an Aug. 8 letter signed by Arab League chief Amr Moussa that was shared with The Associated Press. It asks for backing of a resolution that Arab nations will submit to the September assembly of the International Atomic Energy Agency.</p>
<p>An attached draft of the resolution expresses &#8220;concern&#8221; about Israel’s nuclear program and urges it to join the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and to open its atomic activities to outside inspection.</p>
<p>A cover note also seen by the AP asks the Belgian Embassy in Cairo to transmit the letter and the draft to Belgian Foreign Minister Steven Vanackere, who now holds the rotating European Union presidency.</p>
<p>Diplomats accredited to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency and familiar with the issue told the AP that the letter also was sent to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the foreign ministers of Russia, China, Britain and France &#8211; the four other permanent U.N. Security Council members.</p>
<p>All the diplomats who agreed to discuss the issue with the AP asked for anonymity because of the confidentiality of their information.</p>
<p>Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed in a statement last month to &#8220;work together to oppose efforts to single out Israel&#8221; at the 150-nation International Atomic Energy Agency conference.</p>
<p>On the proposed Mideast nuclear-free zone talks, their statement warned &#8220;any efforts to single out Israel will make the prospects of convening such a conference unlikely.&#8221;</p>
<p>But the Arab letter says the notion of singling out Israel &#8220;is not the case.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Singling out a state assumes that there are a number of states in the same position and only one state was singled out,&#8221; the letter says. Referring to the Nonproliferation Treaty, it says, &#8220;The fact is that all the states in the region have acceded to the NPT except Israel.&#8221;</p>
<p>Israel is commonly assumed to have nuclear weapons but refuses to discuss the issue.</p>
<p>The latest pressure puts the Jewish state in an uncomfortable position. It wants the international community to take stern action to prevent Iran from obtaining atomic weapons but at the same time brushes off calls to come clean about its own nuclear capabilities.</p>
<p>Passions have grown since September when the International Atomic Energy Agency assembly overrode Western objections to pass a resolution directly criticizing Israel and its atomic program for the first time in 18 years.</p>
<p>The result was a setback not only for Israel but also for the United States and other supporters of the Jewish state.</p>
<p>Because the resolution passed by only a four-vote margin, lobbying by both sides has intensified ahead of next month’s meeting.</p>
<p>Three diplomats from International Atomic Energy Agency member nations said the EU and the U.S. were meeting or planning to meet with possible undecided nations to seek their support of Israel, even as the Arab bloc continues pushing for support for its resolution, entitled &#8220;Israeli nuclear capabilities.&#8221;</p>
<p>The U.S. and its allies consider Iran the region’s greatest proliferation threat, fearing that Teheran is trying to achieve the capacity to make nuclear weapons despite its assertion that it is only building a civilian program to generate power.</p>
<p>They also say Syria &#8211; which, like Iran is under International Atomic Energy Agency investigation &#8211; ran a clandestine nuclear program, at least until Israeli warplanes destroyed what they describe as a nearly finished plutonium-producing reactor two years ago. Syria denies that.</p>
<p>But Islamic nations insist that Israel is the true danger in the Middle East, saying they fear its nuclear weapons capacity. Israel has never said it has such arms, but is widely believed to possess them.</p>
<p>Even ahead of the General Conference, key International Atomic Energy Agency nations are expected to disagree about Israel’s nuclear activities. The item is to be discussed at the agency’s decision-making board of 35 nations, according to a copy of the restricted provisional agenda of that gathering shared with The AP.</p>
