it was not stolen, first of all imagine everything you think you know about Muammar Mohammed el Minyon al Gaddafi and turn it 180 degrees. This was a nice man, an idealistic man, a very intelligent man, a loving man, a protector of his people, an animal lover, a (okay his moon was in Virgo..this did make him also a precise man) now think about what was going on. you had a fake press generated revolution. Which to Gaddafi was pretty much inconceivable. He had somewhere between 120 and 140 tonnes (not tons) of gold that he had accumulated over years and years and this was Libya's gold that was going to launch the African Dinar. ]France and the UK and the US (also often known as "The West" - kind of ironic that ancient Egyptians referred to dying as "westing" or going to the west...) The West was knocking on the door and demanding he step down... to have them get their hands on the gold was absolutely unthinkable. So he sent it to the country in Africa that has the best Western press image, South Africa. No one should mess with them if you follow the logic of the time... at least the gold will not be dispersed among the big bad west. (and we have been that big bad west and we need to stop being that thing. that monster... anyway,) - Yes its Libya's, but not a Libya being made to eat itself from outside forces... I propose that 2 funds be created. One for Africa - and the other for a peace and stability reward for Libya. You show us peace and we can send you money...every year for 5 years and then you get the rest of it back - then the fund can be an ongoing legacy to the man that was not who you were told he was. anything but.

Review & Outlook
The Power of the Purse
The ‘omnibus’ bill is no way to govern, but it offers hope for 2015.

https://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/BN-FY814_1omni_M_20141210201320.jpg

U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner (R., Ohio), left, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) in December. Reuters
Dec. 10, 2014 8:16 p.m. ET

The 113th Congress is sprinting to a finish, and few besides Harry Reid will lament its passing. In its final budget splurge, however, Congress is at least showing hints of better governance and how a Republican majority might effectively use the power of the purse next year.

House and Senate appropriators late Tuesday unveiled a $1.01 trillion bill to fund the federal government through September. Its 1,600 pages contain thousands of spending and policy changes that deserve more time to assess. Yet the House plans to vote Thursday.

Blame for this rush job is bipartisan, starting with Mr. Reid, who six years ago shut down regular appropriations to shield Democrats and the White House from having to make spending choices. Government has lurched from one short-term funding bill to the next, and an important measure of the new GOP majority will be if it returns to regular budget order.

We’ll also be watching Speaker John Boehner to see if he honors his promises to give the House and the public 72 hours to review legislation. The Dec. 11 deadline for government funding has been known for months, yet Mr. Boehner is now presenting his Members with a choice of passing his bill or shutting down the government. He owes voters better.

This Gargantua is nonetheless giving Republicans a chance to press some of their priorities. The bill funds 11 of 12 parts of the government through September and generally stays within the spending caps laid out in last year’s budget agreement—providing $521 billion to defense and $429 billion for domestic discretionary programs. It funds the Department of Homeland Security only through February, when Republicans will tee up a debate over President Obama’s immigration decree.

Some on the right are calling the caps a sham, and that’s partly true, since the bill adds $64 billion to fight Islamic State and $5.4 billion for Ebola that are outside the caps. Then again, the war has to be funded and defeating Ebola should be a priority.

More encouraging is that Republicans are showing how they can use Congress’s spending power to steer policy. Most of government has been on autopilot since 2010. This week’s bill starts to set new spending priorities.

The bill cuts nearly $350 million from an Internal Revenue Service that targeted conservative nonprofits and is acting as tax collector for ObamaCare. It slices $60 million from the imperial Environmental Protection Agency, whose budget is 21% below 2010 levels and will soon have as many employees as it did in 1989. The bill even does the unheard of and eliminates funding for programs, including Mr. Obama’s Race to the Top initiative that has stopped pushing useful education reform.

There are also useful policy riders, notably on regulation. Republicans began to reform the Dodd-Frank financial law by amending a rule that threatened to raise costs on Main Street businesses. They are also banning the Fish and Wildlife Service from placing the sage grouse on the Endangered Species list, ending the threat of a government land grab in 11 states. They are sparing farmers from an EPA plan to apply the Clean Water Act to small ponds and irrigation ditches, and truckers from new rules that slash their work weeks.

School districts will soon have more flexibility in implementing Michelle Obama’s proscriptive school-lunch menus. Failing multi-employer pension plans will be able to reduce benefits to reduce the chances that the plans are dumped on taxpayers.
And Republicans are helping taxpayers and the cause of free speech by raising the contribution limits to political parties. The higher limit, which will increase by 10 times to $324,000, is designed to allow the parties to fund their conventions with private dollars, since Republicans have eliminated taxpayer funds for those political shindigs.

Republicans were forced to concede on some of their highest priorities, such as the Keystone XL pipeline and substantive changes to ObamaCare, and they also gave in to Democratic spending increases for financial regulators, college loans, mass transit and federal employees, among other things. But Democrats still control the Senate, and Mr. Obama has the veto pen.

The omnibus nonetheless shows that Republicans can use the power of the purse if they pick the right fights and don’t insist on strategy of their-way-or-a-shutdown. Some breathless Beltway conservatives don’t seem to understand the difference.

Democrats like Henry Waxman used their majorities to build the entitlement and administrative state in increments year after year even with Republicans in the White House. Their method was to press small but notable liberal initiatives on so many fronts that the President’s men couldn’t stop them all. If the GOP brings along some Democrats in Congress, Mr. Obama find it even harder to veto. The mistake is portraying anything less than total victory as surrender.

The omnibus bill has plenty of barnacles, and its rush-to-a-vote is a disgrace, but Republicans are using it to make more policy progress than they have in four years. Next year they can make even more, if they understand that their spending power is formidable but not unlimited.

The organization hired Suzanne Weaver as interim director and made plans to open in December, coinciding with Art Basel Miami Beach. ICA Miami will open with two free exhibits Dec. 3, one featuring the art of Pedro Reyes in an installation called “Sanatorium” and the other, “As I Lay Drying,” featuring work from Andra Ursuta.

The city institution held its first exhibition under M’Bow‘s leadership in September. A panel of volunteers was named to serve as a steering committee until a new board of trustees is established. MOCA has announced its exhibition and event lineup for Art Week in December, which will feature work from Nigerian painter George Edozie in an exhibit called “Shifting the Paradigm.”

Just six weeks until the opening of Art Basel Miami Beach! The 13th edition of the annual art fair -- and all it's satellite fairs, exhibits, museum and gallery openings (and parties) -- begins on Wednesday, December 3rd and runs through the 7th at the Miami Beach Convention Center. The city's ambitious plan to build a new convention center has now been replaced with a simpler and cheaper "re-model," but that won't affect this year's fair or the expected 75,000+ international visitors.

The show, Shifting the Paradigm is designed to tear down aging but still prevalent concepts surrounding the creation, consumption and interpretation of contemporary art. George Edoize (b. 1972, Nigeria) trained as a painter and has always worked as a painter, in his paintings on canvas he normally applies raw colours on the cloth and works them with the knife. The play between surface, colour and texture is central to his work.

For curator Pr. Nkiru Nzegwu, "through form, color, design consciousness, and containment, artistic endeavor unleashes the embodied powers of life to dissolve blockages and remake reality".

While George Edozie is not an expressionist, he shares a good number of the formal characteristics of the "fauvist" and "post-impressionist" painters at the turn of the 20th century: Cezanne, Matisse, Gauguin, Van Gogh.

In different ways, these artists went beyond the manner in which impressionism focused on reproducing the impression caused by the physical world.

Obama Admin and media to hype ‘Ebola outbreak’ simultaneously as a full-scale FEMA pandemic exercise is carried out Nov. 13 in NYC, NJ — Crisis actors, role players to be used

By Shepard Ambellas

NEW YORK & NEW JERSEY (INTELLIHUB.COM) — A massive 2-year long pandemic “continuity exercise” is nearing “stage three” of five on November 13th, going live in “New York City” and “other locations”, according to new documents and audio/video recordings uncovered by Intellihub News.

Shockingly, in a jaw dropping admission, a FEMA official was caught telling role players during a live webinar session that FEMA plans to use people’s fears of “Ebola” and what has “been reported in the news” to “drive” this realtime “full-scale” event.

Dead in the Water (Israel's attack on the USS Liberty in 1967)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc7sOb7IsPY



Loss of Liberty - Israel attacks USS Liberty during Six Day War

On June 8, 1967, Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats launched a ferocious two-hour attack against the USS Liberty, an American intelligence ship operating in the eastern Mediterranean. Of the 294 men aboard the vessel, 34 were killed and 172 were wounded.

"The Loss of Liberty" includes interviews with high-ranking Israeli military officers. High-ranking American military and civilian officials, including Dean Rusk, former U.S. Secretary of State, and Admiral Thomas Moorer, former Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, provide authoritative analysis.

"I have never believed that the attack on the USS Liberty was a case of mistaken identity," Admiral Moorer has said. "What is so chilling and cold-blooded, of course, is that they [the Israelis] could kill as many Americans as they did in confidence that Washington would cooperate in quelling any public outcry. I have to conclude that it was Israel's intent to sink the Liberty and leave as few survivors as possible."

"Israel's premeditated, sneak attack, on the USS Liberty was a direct attack on America," says Phillip Tourney, a crewman wounded in the attack. Awarded the Bronze Star for his heroism under fire, he is president of the USS Liberty Veterans Association. "The disgraceful refusal of unpatriotic American governmental officials of dubious allegiance to defend America and come to the aid of brave Americans under attack can only be characterized as treasonous," he says.

"The Loss of Liberty" tells the shocking, long-suppressed truth about the treacherous assault, and tears to shreds the shameful official story that the attack was a case of mistaken identity.

The Day Israel Attacked America
Politics / US Politics Nov 01, 2014 - 11:46 AM GMT


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr3wWb-m6jo

By: Stephen_Lendman

Politics

One ally attacking another willfully is unheard of. Israel violated its special relationship.

What James Petras called "the first (instance) in modern history in which the imperial country cover(ed) up a deliberate major military assault by a supposed ally."

He referred to the 1967 USS Liberty attack. An intelligence-gathering ship. On June 8. In international waters. About 25.5 nautical miles northwest of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

https://attackliberty.tripod.com/uss_liberty.jpg

[img]http://4.bp..com/-bQQ9sj5yC2o/T9KxhQgvr4I/AAAAAAAAFto/FMDJg7wLcIU/s400/LIBER.jpg[/img]

During Israel's Six Day War. Killing 34 crew members. Wounding 171 others. Causing severe vessel damage.

Deployed to monitor belligerents' communications. After Israel's premeditated attack on Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Iraq.

In August 1982, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin admitted Israel had a choice, saying:

"The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches (did) not prove that (President Gamal Abdel) Nasser was really about to attack us."

"We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him."

In February 1968, future Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin (1974 - 77 and 1992 - 95) told the French newspaper Le Monde:

"I do not believe Nasser wanted war. The two divisions which he sent into Sinai on May 14 would not have been enough to unleash an offensive against Israel. He knew it and we knew it."

In 1978, Israeli Air Force Commander General Mordechai Hod said:

"Sixteen years of planning had gone into those initial eighty minutes. We lived with the plan. We slept on the plan. We ate the plan. Constantly we perfected it."

In April 1972, IDF chief General Haim Barlev said:

"We were not threatened with genocide on the eve of the six-day war, and we had never thought of such a possibility."

Other Israeli leaders and generals voiced similar sentiments. Israel wasn't threatened. It attacked non-threatening Arab states. Willfully. Aggressively. Without just cause. Lawlessly.

Clear naked aggression. Including against America. Getting away with cold-blooded murder. Not for the first or last time.

Then Defense Secretary Robert McNamara lied. Calling it a case of "mistaken identity." Knowing precisely what happened and why.

Retired Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Thomas Moorer later called the incident "one of the classic all-American coverups." One of many times Washington disgracefully alibied for Israeli high crimes.

Israel knew Liberty's identity. It flew a clearly visible US flag. Good weather conditions made it easy to spot.

Israeli warplanes circled overhead before attacking. At times low enough for US sailors to wave to Israeli pilots. They waved back.

On June 5, Israel attacked Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Iraq. At the time, then IDF Chief of Staff Yitzhak Rabin told US naval attache Commander Ernest Carl Castle Israeli forces would sink unidentified ships.

He requested US vessels stay away from Israel's coastline. Or at least report their exact position.

US sources said no inquiry was made until after LIberty's attack ended. US Secretary of State Dean Rusk asked Washington's Israeli ambassador, Walworth Barbour, for "urgent confirmation" of Israel's statement.

He responded saying "(n)o request for info on US ships operating off Sinai was made until after Liberty incident."

"Had Israelis made such an inquiry it would have been forwarded immediately to the chief of naval operations and other high naval commands and repeated to" the State Department.

When war began, Liberty commander, Captain William McGonagle, asked US Sixth Fleet Vice Admiral William I. Martin to dispatch destroyer help.

An armed escort. For Liberty's protection. An auxiliary communications center. Martin replied:

"Liberty is a clearly marked United States ship in international waters, not a participant in the conflict and not a reasonable subject for attack by any nation. Request denied."

At the same time, he promised US warplanes would respond in 10 minutes in case of willful or inadvertent attack.

No response came. Liberty was on its own. Virtually defenseless against Israeli air and sea power.

Throughout the morning of June 8, official testimonies and Liberty's deck log confirmed Israeli warplanes close monitoring.

When attack began, it was following its signal-intercept mission course about 25.5 nautical miles off Sinai's coastline. At about five knots.

Israeli forces were ordered to fire on any unidentified vessels proceeding at over 20 knots. At the time, a speed only warships could attain.

At around 2:00PM local time, two Israeli warplanes arrived at Liberty's location. Formation leader, Captain Iftach Spector, communicated information of its position to nearby Israeli torpedo boats.

He and other Israeli pilots lied. Claiming no distinguishable ship markings or flag. At the same time, chief Israeli air controller Lt. Col Shmuel Kislev authorized IDF warplanes to attack.

Liberty commander Captain McGonagle requested urgent Sixth Fleet help, saying:

"Under attack by unidentified jet aircraft, require immediate assistance." None arrived.

At around 2:35PM, an Israeli torpedo struck Liberty. On its starboard side. Creating a 40-foot-wide hole in its hull.

Killing 25 servicemen. Wounding dozens of others. Marine staff sergeant Bryce Lockwood later said he'd "never deny that God kept Liberty afloat."

Four other Israeli torpedoes missed their target. Its gunships strafed Liberty at close range.

At about 4:00PM, Israel contacted Washington's Tel Aviv embassy. Claiming it mistakenly attacked Liberty.

Crew members somehow kept it afloat. Despite severe damage. Later met by US destroyers USS Davis and Massey as well as cruiser USS Little Rock.

Providing medical help. Escorting Liberty to Malta. For interim repairs. Completed in July. After which Liberty returned to America.

Then decommissioned in June 1968. Struck from Naval Vessel Register listings. Part of Washington's coverup and denial.

Later transferred to the US Maritime Administration (MARAD). In December 1970. Then sold for scrap in 1973.

On June 10, 1967, Secretary of State Dean Rusk told Israel's ambassador:

"At the time of the attack, the USS Liberty was flying the American flag and its identification was clearly indicated in large white letters and numerals on its hull."

"Experience demonstrates that both the flag and the identification number of the vessel were readily visible from the air."

"Accordingly, there is every reason to believe that the USS Liberty was identified, or at least her nationality determined, by Israeli aircraft approximately one hour before the attack."

"The subsequent attack by the torpedo boats, substantially after the vessel was or should have been identified by Israeli military forces, manifests the same reckless disregard for human life."

According to Political Science Professor George Lenczowski:

"It was significant that, in contrast to his secretary of state, President Johnson fully accepted the Israeli version of the tragic incident."

Maintaining strong US/Israeli relations mattered more. So did protecting his own political interests. In case he chose to run for reelection in November 1968.

In later naval court of inquiry testimony, McGonagle said:

During "the latter moments of the air attack, it was noted that three high speed boats were approaching (Liberty) from the northeast on a relative bearing of approximately 135 (degrees) at a distance of about 15 (nautical) miles."

"The ship at the time was still on (westward) course 283 (degrees) true, speed unknown, but believed to be in excess of five knots."

McGonagle "believed that the time of initial sighting of the torpedo boats…was about (2:20PM).

Approaching "boats appeared to be in a wedge type formation with the center boat the lead point of the wedge."

"Estimated speed of the boats was about 27 to 30 knots (50 to 56 km/hour). It "appeared that they were approaching the ship in a torpedo launch attitude."

They flew Israeli flags. Liberty's identity was clear and unmistakable. McGonagle later received Medal of Honor recognition.

Virtually always presented by presidents ceremonially at the White House. This time breaking with tradition. Awarding it in privately. At Washington's Navy Yard. By the Secretary of the Navy.

Other Liberty survivors were decorated. Without mentioning willful Israeli aggression. Terry Halbardier got a Silver Star. For repairing a damaged antenna during intense Israeli strafing.

The US Naval Court of Inquiry claimed no responsibility "to rule on the culpability of the attackers, and no evidence was heard from the attacking nation."

It lied saying "available evidence combines to indicate a case of mistaken identity."

At the same time, it found "heroism displayed by the commanding officer, (as well as) officers and men of the Liberty was exceptional."

A Joint Chief of Staff's report contains evidence relating only to communication system failures. Nothing about clear Israeli culpability.

A June 21, 1967 CIA memorandum said "(t)he attack was not made in malice toward the US and was by mistake…"

"(B)ut the failure of the IDF Headquarters and the attacking aircraft to identify the Liberty and the subsequent attack by torpedo boats were both incongruous and indicative of gross negligence."

A CIA informant said Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan personally ordered Liberty's attack. He wanted it sunk. All crew members killed. A redacted report said in part:

The unnamed source "said that Dayan personally ordered the attack on the ship and that one of his generals adamantly opposed the action and said, ‘This is pure murder.’ One of the admirals who was present also disapproved of the action, and it was he who ordered it stopped and not Dayan."

The report remains classified. According to an insider, "(s)o as not to embarrass Israel." Even 47 years later.

LBJ's Intelligence Advisory Board Chairman Clark Clifford issued a damning report. Containing "all information on the subject." Discussing "the question of Israeli culpability."

Calling what happened an "unprovoked attack." Constituting "a flagrant act of gross negligence for which the Israeli Government should be held completely responsible, and the Israeli military personnel involved should be punished."

He later fell from grace. Adopting the official line. About a tragic Israeli mistake.

Defense Secretary Robert McNamara lied to Congress. Claiming no "evidence of a conscious intent to attack a US vessel."

Two Israeli inquiry reports whitewashed what happened. Claiming Liberty was believed to be an Egyptian vessel. Because of failed US/Israeli communications.

Hours before attacking, IDF naval headquarters knew Liberty was "an electromagnetic audio-surveillance ship of the US Navy."

It lied claiming information was lost. "(N)ever passed along to the ground controllers who directed the air attack nor to the crews of the three Israeli torpedo boats."

Israeli Judge Yerushalmi conducted his own fact-finding inquiry. He claimed no "deviation from the standard of reasonable conduct which would justify committal of anyone for trial."

In other words, naked Israeli aggression was OK. Case closed!

Unresolved questions remain. At the time of the attack. Secretary of State Dean Rusk said he "was never satisfied with the Israeli explanation."

"Their sustained attack to disable and sink Liberty precluded an assault by accident or some trigger-happy local commander," he maintained.

"Through diplomatic channels we refused to accept their explanations. I didn't believe them then, and I don't believe them to this day. The attack was outrageous."

Navy Captain Ward Boston was US Court of Inquiry senior counsel. In 2002, he said C of I's findings reflected coverup and denial.

Israel willfully attacked a clearly identified US ship, he stressed. He called denying it an "insidious attempt to whitewash the facts." He wrote in part, saying:

"The evidence was clear. Both Admiral Kidd and I believed with certainty that this attack, which killed 34 American sailors and injured 172 others, was a deliberate effort to sink an American ship and murder its entire crew."

"Each evening, after hearing testimony all day, we often spoke our private thoughts concerning what we had seen and heard."

"I recall Admiral Kidd repeatedly referring to the Israeli forces responsible for the attack as 'murderous bastards.' "

"It was our shared belief, based on the documentary evidence and testimony we received first hand, that the Israeli attack was planned and deliberate, and could not possibly have been an accident."

US intelligence agencies expert James Bamford believes Israel attacked Liberty to suppress its high crimes against peace. Including massacring hundreds of Egyptian prisoners.

NSA intercepts showed Israeli pilots clearly knew they attacked a US ship, said Bamford.

Israeli aggression continued for over an hour. Liberty was severely damaged. A smoking hulk. Listing at about 10 degrees.

Lucky to stay afloat. With two-thirds of its crew dead or injured. Two US destroyers took 16 hours to arrive. To provide help.

Coverup and denial began immediately. Survivors were ordered to remain silent about what happened.

Israel seized Syria's Golan Heights one day after attacking Liberty. Had it remained operable, it might have gotten clear evidence of willful Israeli aggression. Countering IDF lies.

Israel's Six Day War bonded Washington and Tel Aviv more closely together. Politically. Economically. Militarily.

BusinessNigeria-based Telecoms Infrastructure Group Raises $2.6bn by AfroBlue(op): 12:53pm On Nov 03, 2014
Investment funds pouring in from the four corners of the globe.




[b]IHS in biggest African fund raising since crisis

Daniel Thomas and Javier Blas in London

The largest African fundraising since the start of the 2008 financial crisis shows the Ebola crisis has not deterred investor interest in the continent.

Nigeria-based IHS, the telecoms infrastructure group, has raised $2.6bn in equity and debt in one of the biggest private funding packages for an African business.


The company will raise $2bn in equity from a consortium of Asian, European and African investors alongside a loan facility of $600m. Money has also been raised from existing shareholders, which include funds managed by Goldman Sachs, Wendel of France and Emerging Capital Partners, the private equity group.

Issam Darwish, IHS chief executive, said the fundraising showed the depth of the financial market for businesses in Africa.

https://www.ecpinvestments.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Issam-video-capt.png

Asked about the impact of the Ebola crisis in his talks with investors, he said: “Africa has its own risks, but with the kind of returns that investors get [nowadays] from Europe and the US, Africa is a strong alternative on a risk-return basis.”

The African Development Bank (AfDB) estimates the continent will attract a record of nearly $85bn in foreign inflows this year, as investors pour money into local securities markets, infrastructure and factories.

Over the course of the year, big foreign investors such as state-owned Temasek of Singapore and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, the private equity firm, have announced a big push into Africa.



Barack Obama, US president, also hosted the first US-Africa summit in August, pushing American businessmen to invest into the region.

IHS said the money would be used to pursue deals to buy mobile cellular towers from telecoms groups such as Bharti Airtel of India and Etisalat of the United Arab Emirates. IHS owns the towers and then leases access back to the operators.

The company will also use the funds to pay for its $2bn acquisition of more than 9,000 towers from MTN of South Africa. The deal made IHS the largest towers group in Africa, with about 20,000 sites in Nigeria, Cameroon, Rwanda, the Ivory Coast and Zambia.

IHS plans to build new sites and improve existing towers with solar power systems and efficient generator units.

Mr Darwish said IHS would seek an initial public offering in the coming years on an international stock exchange.

Tower sites can be expensive to operate given the need to provide power to often remote areas, as well as the costs of upkeep and security in crime-prone countries such as Nigeria.

“The contribution of our investors significantly strengthens our position and the ability to move into the next phase of growth and development with confidence,” he said. “We are clear in our ambition to play a leading role in the creation of the widest, most efficient and reliable mobile networks in Africa. The social and economic benefits to the local economies where we operate are significant.”

The debt component of $600m is split between US dollars and naira, with a seven-year tranche and eight-year tranche fully underwritten by banks.

Goldman Sachs and UBS advised IHS on the capital raising.[/b]

Foreign AffairsSouth Korea Prepares For 10gbps Broadband; Transfer 1GB File In 0.8 Seconds by AfroBlue(op): 4:57am On Oct 19, 2014
[b]fyi ....





South Korea prepares for 10Gbps broadband; transfer 1GB file in 0.8 seconds


While AT&T and Verizon argue over an FCC proposal that would set 10Mbps as America’s new minimum speed to qualify as “broadband,” South Korea is positioning itself to introduce 10Gbps fiber service.

SK Broadband will introduce its new 10 gigabit per second Internet service at the Oct. 20 Plenipotentiary Conference of the International Telecommunications Union to be held at Busan’s BEXCO Center, in partnership with the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning and the National Information Society Agency.
With the latest advances in broadband technology coming mostly from Asian countries like Japan and South Korea, citizens of both countries are proud of the fact they are way ahead of the United States.

“In the 1960s the world watched NASA send men to the moon and many of us grew up amazed at the constant advancements of the Americans,” said Natsuki Kumagai. “Now the Americans watch us.”

“In my travels to the United States, it is very plain they have lost their way in advancing broadband technology,” said Pyon Seo-Ju. “Internet access is terribly slow and expensive because American politicians have sacrificed America’s technology leadership to protect conglomerates and allow them to flourish. Although unfortunate for America, this has given Korea a chance to promote our own industry and enhance the success of companies like Samsung that are well-known in the United States today.”

William H. Gates Sr., former head of eugenics group Planned Parenthood
Bill Gates' father, William H. Gates Sr., has long been involved with the eugenics group Planned Parenthood, a rebranded organization birthed out of the American Eugenics Society. In a 2003 interview with PBS' Bill Moyers, Bill Gates admitted that his father used to be the head of Planned Parenthood, which was founded on the concept that most human beings are just "reckless breeders" and "human weeds" in need of culling (http://www.pbs.org/now/transcript/transcript_gates.html).

Gates also admitted during the interview that his family's involvement in reproductive issues throughout the years has been extensive, referencing his own prior adherence to the beliefs of eugenicist Thomas Robert Malthus, who believed that populations of the world need to be controlled through reproductive restrictions

Defensoria del Pueblo/AFP/File

A picture released by the Defensoria del Pueblo shows a native from the Wiwa ethnic group looking at the the location of a lightning strike in Santa Marta, Colombia, on October 6, 2014 (AFP Photo/)

Bogota (AFP) - Eleven Wiwa Indians killed by lightning during a tribal ceremony in Colombia's Sierra Nevada mountains will be left unburied where they died according to their traditions, an official said Sunday.

The community of about 60 families will abandon their remote village in the wake of Monday's tragedy, but it was not yet clear where they would go, said Jose Gregorio Rodriguez, an advisor on the Wiwas at the National Indigenous Organization of Colombia, which represents the country's 800,000 indigenous people.

"The bodies will stay in the 'uguma' (ceremonial hut) where they died and the community will leave the site, as their customs and traditions dictate," Rodriguez told AFP.

The 11 men were killed on Monday when lightning struck the hut during a ceremony, also injuring another 20 participants who suffered second and third degree burns.

The Wiwas, a tribe that retreated into the Sierra Nevada of northern Colombia after the Spanish conquest, revere all aspects of nature and believe they are called to keep the world in balance.

Some villagers saw the devastating lightning strike as a spiritual blow in response to "man's turning his back on nature," Lorenzo Gil, a survivor, told AFP this week.

After the tragedy, the villagers held a long funeral ritual, whose first part concluded on Friday. A 10-day healing ceremony will follow.

"This rite is a healing for the people but also for the affected territories," said Rodriguez.

A day after the lightning strike that killed the Wiwas, another indigenous community in the Sierra Nevada, the Arhuacas, were hit by a landslide that killed six people, including five children.

"When the indigenous die as a result of tragic acts of nature, the community abandons the place to avoid other dangerous natural phenomena," said Rodriguez.

From Ghana: Ebola is not real and the only people who have gotten sick are those who got shots from the red cross

Date: Sunday, 12-Oct-2014 19:31:32

Jim Stone Freelance

Other than the original facebook post, this web site is the first one to carry this and it needs to be spread, the future may be riding on this one, ARCHIVE, POST POST AND RE-POST!

Nana Kwame wrote:

People in the Western World need to know what’s happening here in West Africa. THEY ARE LYING!!! “Ebola” as a virus does NOT Exist and is NOT “Spread”. The Red Cross has brought a disease to 4 specific countries for 4 specific reasons and it is only contracted by those who receive treatments and injections from the Red Cross. That is why Liberians and Nigerians have begun kicking the Red Cross out of their countries and reporting in the news the truth. Now bear with me:

REASONS:

Most people jump to “depopulation” which is no doubt always on the mind of the West when it comes to Africa. But I assure you Africa can NEVER be depopulated by killing 160 people a day when thousands are born per day. So the real reasons are much more tangible.

Reason 1: This vaccine implemented sickness being “called” Ebola was introduced into West Africa for the end goal of getting troops on the ground in Nigeria, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. If you remember America was just trying to get into Nigeria for “Boko Haram” #BULLSHIT but that fell apart when Nigerians started telling the truth. There ARE NO GIRLS MISSING. Global support fell through the floor, and a new reason was needed to get troops into Nigeria and steal the new oil reserves they have discovered.

Reason 2: Sierra Leone is the World’s Largest Supplier of Diamonds. For the past 4 months they have been on strike, refusing to provide diamonds due to horrible working conditions and slave pay. The West will not pay a fair wage for the resources because the idea is to keep these people surviving on rice bags and foreign aid so that they remain a source of cheap slave labor forever. A reason was also needed to get troops on the ground in Sierra Leone to force an end to the diamond miners strikes. This is not the first time this has been done. When miners refuse to work troops are sent in and even if they have to kill and replace them all, the only desire is to get diamonds back flowing out of the country.
Of course to launch multiple campaigns to invade these countries separately would be way too fishy. But something like “Ebola” allows access to an entire area simultaneously…

Reason 3: In addition to stealing Nigerian oil, and forcing Sierra Leone back to mining, troops have also been sent in to FORCE vaccinations (Deadly “Ebola” Poison) onto those Africans who are not foolish enough to take them willingly.

3000 troops are being sent in to make sure that this “poison” continues to spread, because again it is only spread through vaccination. As more and more news articles are released as they have been in Liberia, informing the populous of the US lies and manipulation, more and more Africans are refusing to visit the Red Cross. Troops will force these vaccinations upon the people to ensure the visible appearance of an Ebola pandemic. In addition to this they will protect the Red Cross from the Liberians and Nigerians who have been rightfully ejecting them from their countries.

Reason 4: Last but not least, the APPEARANCE of this Ebola “pandemic” (should Americans not catch on) will be used to scare the countless millions into taking an “Ebola vaccine” which in reality is the pandemic. Already they have started with stories of how it has been brought to the U.S. and has appeared in Dallas, how white doctors were cured but black infected are not being allowed to be treated, etc.

ALL that will do is make blacks STRIVE to get the vaccine, because it appears that the “cure” is being held back from blacks. They will run out in droves to get it and then there will be serious problems. With all we have seen revealed about vaccines this year you would think we learned our lesson. All I can do is hope so, Because they rely on our ignorance to complete their agendas.

Ask yourself: If Ebola really was spread from person to person, instead of controlled spread through vaccination – then WHY would the CDC and the US Government continue to allow flights in and out of these countries with absolutely no regulation, Or At All? We have got to start thinking and sharing information globally because they do not give the true perspective of the people who live here in West Africa. They are lying for their own benefit and there aren’t enough voices out there with a platform to help share our reality. Hundreds of thousands have been killed, paralyzed and disabled by these and other “new” vaccines all over the world and we are finally becoming aware of it. Now what will we do with all this information?

[b]done ....


You Want Us To Act First


While most of us have been busy living our lives and caring for our families and those we love, you have spent your time preparing to murder us all and you have built an awesome machine of destruction that is already at work. So, I will speak for those of us that understand why you desire us to depend on violence to set things right.

We know that you want to see us break under pressure and kill each other and millions of your servants while you sit on the sidelines, enjoying the show you have waited all your lives to see. At the right moment, you will eliminate whoever survives, perhaps dropping your bioweapons from the same planes that drop the slow kill poisons on us every day.

We have gotten used to them over our heads for many years now and at the end you can change what they drop on us from slow kill to fast. We understand this. We know that although we will never give up our God-given right to firearms and any kind of self-defense we can muster. This confrontation with you will not be ultimately won that way.

Even in "victory," if such were allowed us by Providence, most would die in the process or wish they had. It is not a road of choice, if other options exist.

And exist they do, but not where you have been looking. I will tell you what they are, but first, a few words to specific groups.

Your Choice Lies Before You


To those working in your myriad of bureaucracies, we understand your need to feed your families and take care of yourselves the best you can. We do not ask you to leave your jobs. But we ask you to become quickly conscious of the effects of your work personally.You are individually responsible for anything you do in the performance of your duties, and you must look for creative ways to prevent harmcoming to others as a result of what you do in your job. Where there is a will, there is always a way of some kind, if you are determined.

Join with others in your organization who care about the future of humanity and educate yourselves about what your agency really does and what are the effects on people's lives. The time to follow orders blindly, caring not for the results in others' lives, if it ever really existed, is definitely over now. Time is short for humanity if a change does not happen very quickly.

We invite you to be part of that change, finish what remains of your life with pride by becoming aware of the implications of your actions, and do what will best serve humanity.


Military and Police


The same applies to police and military personnel, and you will have to face the choice in a unique way as you are asked to physically and violently turn against your brother and sisters, against your neighbors, against those who trusted you to watch out for them. You will be asked to use force against them, to put them into the concentration camps that are now staffed and ready and you will be asked to hurt them and to kill them; men, women and even the little children.

You are being trained and conditioned to that end now. You must not obey these illegal and immoral orders and you must do what you can so that others will not commit these atrocities either. You have all taken an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and you must honor your oath.

Join the Oath-keepers organization and let God and the world know you will not betray your sacred promise or turn you back on you country to follow illegal orders. The time has come for you to be true to your higher purpose, come what may.

Your job is to protect, not to betray. Be true, and help bring your country back to life, as a place of personal freedom for all. Let the camps remain empty, let the sound of freedom ring out above the chaos and bring back peace.


Even Not To Act Is To Make Your Decision


To every man and woman totally immersed in your daily routines as this drama unfolds, educate Yourselves and awaken. Turn off the television, permanently and escort it from your home. In place of its urging to live the most superficial life possible, addicted to medical drugs and the latest style, listen to real news to learn what is happening around you.

Infowars.com and naturalnews.com are some of your best daily full spectrum globally televised radio and print news and they will wake you up enough to know which others are also telling the truth. Learn the truth about health care and how to take care of your body. This will help clear your mind and remove the fog.

Most disease, sickness and premature aging can be prevented and even cured if you learn the basics of detoxification and nutritional modalities that also use sunlight, fresh air, clean water, Earthing and positive mental and emotional redirection. Heal your bodies.

The way to do this and live free from disease in good health until death has been known well for thousands of years. Rediscover it. Teach your children at home or in local group facilities with other parents, to save them from the ravages of public and even many private schools.

They are the future of the world; do not lend them to the government brainwashing facilities which are like throwing the finest diamonds into rock crushing equipment. You brought them here now do what they need you to do and live a life that will inspire them to be true and to love and serve others. It is you contribution to eternity not an interruption of your time.

Persons Running Corporations, Banking, Media, Government Agencies ­ You Are All Deceived

To heads and officers of corporations, banks and government agencies, media outlets, you may have been thinking what you do to others, especially if indirectly, does not matter, as you are only here to promote your own interests, and those few other people you may care about. You may be thinking you are in a position of great power, a member of the privileged "elite."

Listen carefully, and take this very seriously. You have made a false assumption, and have bet your life unwisely. Those in the power structure above you have made you thinkyou will be saved when most of humanity will be "culled." They lied to you. As soon as your usefulness to them is finished, and it will be soon now, you will be thrown aside like the worthless trash they think you are. You have an opportunity because of your position, but it is not the one you think. Your opportunity is to use whatever power you have in your position to make sure the evil agenda of destruction is stopped, and does not complete as planned. You once knew you had a heart. Once long ago, you cared for others. Once long ago, you played as a child, with no awareness that you would stray onto a path of evil and harden your heart.

This is your turning point.

This is your wake up call. Your time is short. Use your power. Use it to block the implementation of martial law, the mistreatment of your fellow human beings, the spreading of division by race, class and the other imaginary dividing lines between people, and in all areas, the broadcasting of false information.

Much hope lies with those in positions of power who remember themselves as they once were, become human again, and use their intelligence to help turn the tide. You can be part of that. You can start to redeem yourself now, before your life is ending, and make your gift to humanity. That power is in you still, and no one can stop it, if you allow it to come back to life.


Even the Families Themselves Must Reconsider


Heads of State, Bloodline family members, Foundation leaders, hear me now. You are all thinking your are among the elite to be saved, for whom the world will become a private and personal playground. A few human slaves or just robots are to serve your every need and desire, and instead of dying you are to merge with machines in a kind of hybrid human ­computer immortality.

This is your wake up call. You have been lied to by those who issue your directives. You are not the top level of this structure, there are those above you. We are well aware of them, their motives and their real plans. They do not plan to save ANY humans. They know that you cannot become immortal by the grace or use of a machine.

They laugh at you for believing that nonsense, and consider you idiots. When it is time for you to die, nothing can stop that, even a computer. Let that truly sink into your consciousness. You are not to be saved by those above you. You are to be thrown away as garbage by those who have deceived you all these hundreds and indeed thousands of years.

The motive at the top of your system is pure malice, not a new world, but annihilation, followed when your life is over, by the stored and recorded results of your actions, which you will finally realize when it is too late. Your only hope is to change your paths now.

You do have a real chance to come back to human status, and to reconnect with your hearts, but time is short and you must make your decisions now. Do not take your last minute opportunity lightly, but muster all the power and will that you can, and give your best effort to help humanity now. Make up even a little for all you have done in ignorance and trusting in evil, which is about to destroy you.

Your brothers and sisters need you now, and the fable that you are other than one of us was always a Lie. Dwell on this in your hearts; throw away violence and fear and separation from your fellow beings. If enough of you turn away from the violent and heartless plan, you will help to save not only the rest of humanity, but yourselves also. Do not miss this chance, as it can save your life. Now you know the "option" I referred to earlier.

It is an option for those of us who will give our lives for the cause of love and freedom, and to bring back a place we love. That option is, instead of hatred and fighting you, we can first five you an honest invitation to change, to join us, to play your part in saving our world and yourselves in the process.


How Strong Are You? Can You Turn From Your Own Destruction Or Not?


In closing, there are many who are ready to die to resist the final culling of humanity, and to give their lives for our last chance to return to freedom, the respect for life and nature, the return of love and healing of our world. But they know that if the final planned conflict actually occurs, most or all of us may not make it through.

In addition, those with the most inner maturity understand that war is not the way to healing, even if everyone is convinced they are fighting for what is right.

We have a last chance to mount our campaign not on violence and the desire to kill the servants of evil, but on universal Love, and the desire for even the current servants of evil to wake up and come back to us as our brothers and sisters, to turn from the path of darkness, and help us at this time of greatest need.

Stop the evil plan, which will otherwise betray you as well, and let your defection from its ranks help grind the gears of evil to a halt. If you are reading this, the offering of peace, of love, of return to your deeply buried real self is being offered to you in earnest.

Thank good fortune you have yet this chance, this one hope to turn while there is time and a chance for you to serve. Your dark masters have deceived you, one and all. They have no qualms about terminating you as soon as your temporary usefulness is over, and that will be soon. Your real family is offering you a chance to come back.

Thousands or millions of former servants of the dark side, turning away from their deceptive masters, could change the outcome of this play. To paraphrase a famous movie line, we know there is good in you so we had to try.

Do you have the incredible courage it would take to turn at the last minute to light and real service, or are you truly already dead?

The decision is yours, consider well.

How Will You Kill Us?


And now, as the time you have waited for approaches and with it your long planned culling, you have set in motion many options. Which will you choose What will you do to us, to remove us from this world and have the planet to yourselves as has been your plan since ages past?

Will you unleash one of your bioweapons on us while you hide underground or take your antidotes, promised by your masters in the system above you? Will you unleash deadly global weather patterns (that are already underway), patterns you are controlling with the chemtrails that your news minions say do not exist?

Will you unleash horrors in every land using the HAARP system, either to cause earthquakes, tsunamis and other Earth disasters, or simply to broadcast frequencies so intolerable that you will drive us mad, rushing to our own destruction just to end the pain?

Will you finish us off with poisoned food, no option but deadly GMO's and pesticides in every grocery store item, so that we die in agony as the biotech industries' weapons tear apart our bodies from the inside as they were always designed to do?

Or will you leave it to economic ruin already in progress to drive us into desperate war with each other no way to get food or stay warm (or cool) and just watch us kill each other in a famine-induced civil war?

And there are more options you have set for yourselves. So many more it would take many pages to list them even briefly. You are so proud of them anxiously awaiting the time when all will be in readiness and the decision will have been made on which ones you choose to unleash.

1776 Still Lives


There are those among us, brave souls, informed and well read, who understand the spirit of freedom that started America and which burns in the heart of freedom loving people everywhere for which so many were willing to risk their lives fleeing tyrants to come here to live free of oppression. The spirit of 1776 still lives and those in whose hearts this fire burns are ready to die resisting you.

They love their lives and their families and they have so much they would rather do in a more peaceful world but they are ready to give up these things to know they gave everything for freedom as a gift to future generations.


Your Preparations For War


Yet, many of us also know that in the arena of physical violence, you have prepared long and well. With unending malice, arrogant faith in your own superiority, and meticulous and organized planning to

create and unleash your version of hell on Earth, you have simultaneously set the wheels in motion for our demise from within while building up your arsenal, your weapons of hell. You weaken us, your adversaries on many fronts to prejudice the final confrontation in your favor, as you think beyond question of victory.

You dumb us down in our school systems. From preschool to post PhD programs, you teach us that we as individuals are nothing, the collective is the only one with rights, and those rights are best determined by experts designated as such by our rulers, to make all decisions for us.

You teach us and you teach our children that we all are stupid; you compartmentalize our learning so understanding the big picture and even our real history become less that a memory to us now dependent on authorities to explain and direct our lives. You have poisoned our water with fluoride and other poisons that hurt our bodies very badly and hurt our minds as well so we can no longer think and feel normally.

You poison and over process our food with toxic chemicals, you kill the life in our soil and now you do it not just from the ground but also from the air. Even those of us able to procure good food for our families, fresh organic foods with live nutrients to prevent disease and the disintegration of unnatural aging, even those people cannot but organic air and almost nowhere is left to find it as it once was.

While the deadly chemtrails damage our planet's natural weather patterns, on which all life depends, The fallout from the spraying of these high altitude flights is poisoning our soils to the point where normal life will not exist on them and only deadly GMO species of every type will be left to replace what used to be nature.

[b]a long satirical but close to reality read so i will break it up





Open Letter to the "Elite" Rulers

"Elites:" This Letter Is Real, Your Attention Required


Brothers and Sisters of our ruling class, Royal Family members, Bloodline Family members, Heads of State, Heads and High Officers of Multinational Corporations, High Officers and Heads of Banking Organizations, to you all, Greetings!

The multitudes of the world look at you with awe and wonder.

They believe what you have taught them to believe, that you are benevolent people, always on guard to protect our welfare and to decide and do what is best for us.

They see you as beautiful, powerful, and mysterious, they believe that your appearance, your facade that you show to the public is who you really are.

The media, which you own and control, and to whom you dictate the "news" and the values to convey to the people, that media puts your faces on the covers of magazines, your regal presences looking down on us with compassion and wisdom beyond what we can understand.

So the public celebrates the birth of royal babies, the inauguration of presidents and prime ministers, the choosing of central bank spokespeople, and the coronation of kings and queens, the heads of government agencies.

They are grateful that you and your staffs, your brilliant scientists and your insightful economists are there to preside over so many aspects of our lives that ordinary mortals can no longer understand or properly manage.

They are grateful as you allocate resources, or tell us how to use and conserve ours, to save us from the plagues and shortages that only modern medical and economic science can overcome or prevent, and they cheer as you decide for us where our military protectors should be sent to save us from the invading and violent savages who might attack us at any moment.

You are indeed celebrated and revered by our masses like gods among us, given the power of life and death over us, along with free reign to use our assets as you see fit, to protect us now and our children and descendants into the future.

Millions idolize you and long to rise even to positions of your minor servants, and thus share in the aura of your power and mystery, as well as the physical wealth. But in all this glory of your status among us. There is one problem.


It's What You Do

Millions idolize you and long to rise even to positions of your minor servants, and thus share in the aura of your power and mystery, as well as the physical wealth. But in all this glory of your status among us. There is one problem.


It's What You Do


That problem is your actions, the realities behind the masks. Your camouflage is sophisticated, complex and layered. But there are those among us that see through at least some of the layers.

They see the Royal Family members, attending polo matches and other high society affairs with the most meticulous of mannerisms suitable to the upper class, but they also see those same family members hiding child kidnapping, torture operations and eugenics plans in the shadows beyond the reach of the limelight.

They see heads of international pharmaceutical companies, backed up by prestigious medical organizations, announcing plans to cure disease with the latest miracle drug or vaccination, but they also see the numbers of deaths these miracle drugs and vaccines are designed to cause already calculated for each area of the world and each demographic group to whom they will be promoted.

And they see that the more drugs and vaccines and invasive "therapies" are used by the people, the sicker everyone gets, the more rampant is medical drug addiction, and the more income flows to the health care system as the population sinks farther into disease and an unnatural, torturous process of contrived "aging" which we are told is inevitable.

They see presidents and prime ministers take solemn oaths of office after long campaigns full of lofty promises and the promises and oaths are broken with disdain immediately after taking office.

They see the high level global banking representatives promising to save the world from economic downturns, followed by not only downturns but disasters and progressive loss of value as wealth is transferred step by step from those who earn it to those who play the game of the banking scam, manufacturing pretend wealth out of nothing.

They see the armies of your servants, scurrying about following you direction to craft laws with language so deceptive as to be unintelligible to the average person, yet full of more and more infringements of the rights all people are endowed with at birth, those rights which governments can at best recognize and affirm, but which come to all people from their Creator, not from any head of state.

Deception and Assault on Us From Multiple Directions


And these people see the skeletons in your closets, the dark side of your activities that show you may

pretend to be our friends but are really working as our enemies, and deadly ones at that, bereft of remorse or compassion, taking enjoyment from our pain. Growing numbers of us are waking up to what you are really doing to us and our world. Which you think belongs to you.

We see that you have been systematically destroying us economically and stealing all of our hard earned resources by way of financial tricks. One of the most prominent of these tricks is the scam of central banking.

You have used this maneuver to take over countries and wreck their economies, including the U.S. and many other nations around the world. It is a simple trick, yet your deception and skillful promotion are so subtle that the majority of people still don't understand how you do it, or that you are doing it at all.

Your modus operandi is to cone into a country, like you did in the U.S. in 1913 and make a deal with those in power, who are usually quite open to the usual bribes and threats, the carrots and sticks that you use. You set up your own company and give it the right to issue the country's money simply by printing it or entering numbers on a computer.

You get the legitimate government to give its sole right to this function to you in exchange for whatever payoffs are needed to but the votes. This takes the country into debt as the government borrows its money from this new exclusive money issuer called a "central bank".

Once the process starts, the economic fate and destruction of the country are assured, unless the central bank is abolished in time, which rarely happens. New taxes are instituted to pay your central bank for the borrowed currency and even then, when the inflow of new money and its associated debt outpaces the taxes and un-payable obligation is predictably created and you own the government which agreed to this scandalous deal.

Deceptively labeled "free trade" agreements at the same time guarantee the death of the very industries that keep any country strong and in the U.S. this has turned a once strong and independent nation of free people into a subservient land of slaves with no way to earn our own way as a nation or to reclaim even a piece of real national security, dependent as we have now become on industries outside our borders, giving the rulers and bankers of other nations the license to dictate our terms of life.

And since government uses force to control the people of the country, you own the general population too. If the U.S. government had been honest and not receptive to bribery or threats, you central bank here could never have gotten started.

If the people of the nation had been awake and aware of the incredible danger of allowing a central bank to exist, you would have been quickly thrown out of the country, perhaps indicted for your attempted financial coup which unfortunately has become reality.

But neither of those conditions existed so you and your scam got in and took root. The same scam in some variation is in play in every country with a central bank in your system is issuing the currency. This is exactly why Mayer Rothschild famously said "Give me control of a nation's currency and I care not who makes its laws.[/b]

Prosecutors 'failed' to prove case against Kenya's president: attorney

By Thomas Escritt October 8, 2014 9:26 AM



https://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/puGQYzAnTNf0TCBfGHry6A--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTgwMDtweW9mZj0wO3E9NzU7dz0xMTk5/http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/ap_webfeeds/99eafd1893bfe927610f6a7067002d94.jpg

THE HAGUE (Reuters) - A defense attorney for President Uhuru Kenyatta called on judges at the International Criminal Court to throw out allegations of crimes against humanity, saying prosecutors had failed to prove their case after five years of investigations.

Prosecutors countered that Kenyatta's government obstructed the hunt for the evidence and requested an indefinite postponement of the trial. They said sanctions should be considered to force Nairobi to comply with its obligations to cooperate.

"The case has failed and it has failed in a way that means there is no prospect of it going further," defense lawyer Stephen Kay said, calling on the judges to find his client not guilty. If the prosecutor doesn't offer more evidence, "you act to terminate."

Kenyatta was summoned to the Hague-based tribunal to answer questions about his indictment on charges of orchestrating a wave of deadly post-election violence that swept Kenya in 2007.

He is the first sitting head of state to answer a summons to the court, established 11 years ago to prosecute individuals for serious crimes when domestic courts are unwilling or unable to do so.

Judges adjourned the hearings and are expected to make a decision about the trial's future before the end of the year.

Kenyatta, dressed in a dark blue suit, did not speak in court, but was defiant in comments to journalists as he left the court to catch a flight back home.

"We as Kenyans, we know where we came from, we know where we are going, and nobody will tell us what to do," he said.

Kenyatta denies charges that he acted as an "indirect co-perpetrator" in crimes, including murder, deportation or forcible transfer, rape, persecution and other inhumane acts.

The legal impasse is unprecedented in international law. Previous high officials from conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda were under arrest when they appeared in court, and were no longer in power at the time of their appearance.

Like his deputy and former rival William Ruto, who faces similar but separate charges, Kenyatta is attending voluntarily.

Prosecutors have accused Kenyan authorities of refusing to hand over bank and phone records, obstructing the case which has faced a series of delays since it was launched five years ago.

"If the Kenyan government was genuinely using its best efforts to comply, it would find and disclose those records and it would ensure that the telephone companies conduct appropriate searches," prosecutor Benjamin Gumpert said.

Allowing the charges to be dropped in the face of such obstruction would set a dangerous precedent, encouraging politically powerful suspects to defy the court, he said.

"It would be wholly inappropriate for the case to be withdrawn where there has been obstruction of the proper inquiries," Gumpert told the tribunal.

Gumpert said there was no evidence that Kenyatta himself had intentionally interfered in the investigation, but said Kenya was not handing over the evidence it needed.

PRAYING FOR KENYATTA

At the heart of where the violence started in the lush Rift Valley town of Eldoret, 300 km (190 miles) northwest of the capital Nairobi, locals crowded around radios and television sets at restaurants and hotels to watch the proceedings.

Kenyatta, from Kenya's biggest Kikuyu ethnic group, and Ruto, a Kalenjin, were in rival camps in the 2007 election race. They were accused of inciting gangs who butchered people from opposing groups, using machetes and bows and arrows

In the town of Naivasha, where the worst revenge attacks by suspected members of a Kikuyu militia took place, more than one hundred people at a displacement camp got on their knees and prayed for Kenyatta before the court proceeding started.

"The prosecution has openly said that they do not have evidence against the president and this is a clear indication that the investigations were flawed," said Christine Ndida, a mother of three who fled Kericho at the height of the fighting.

"We have said in the past that Uhuru was not among those who planned the attacks and this will be exposed very soon when this bad cloud passes away," she said.

Supporters wept as they prayed, before turning to watch the proceedings on television.

The mood was sullen in another part of Naivasha, where a majority of the victims of the electoral violence live, but faith in proceedings has waned due to the weak prosecution case.

"Our only hope of getting justice lay in the ICC, but we are disappointed by the manner the case against Uhuru has proceeded with the prosecution failing to offer enough evidence," said 28-year-old flower worker David Omulo, who lost a brother.

For some, however, Wednesday's court proceedings marked an important precedent for accountability.

"All along we questioned if Uhuru would really go to The Hague, but it is a warning to those planning chaos that no one is above the law," said Alice Achieng, a 28-year-old trader and mother of one, who lost all her belongings in Naivasha.

"MOST POWERFUL INDIVIDUAL"

Judges were considering a request from prosecutors to adjourn the trial and refer Kenya's alleged non-cooperation to the court's member states, who could then decide on sanctions.

Prosecutors told the court they had nine witnesses ready to testify that Kenyatta and his allies had paid and directed perpetrators of the post-election violence, in which 1,200 people died, and corroborating telephone records.

"The defense have suggested that the prosecution has no case, that all the evidence it once relied upon has exploded. But this is not the case," said chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda.

Kenyatta had it in his power to ensure his country cooperated with the court, said Fergal Gaynor, a lawyer representing the interests of victims of the violence.

"The accused is without question the most powerful and influential individual in Kenya," he said. Kenyatta "is the one person who can remove the obstruction to this case."

Kenyatta and allies have warned that the trial risks destabilizing a region that faces a threat from resurgent militant Islam in Somalia.

"This is no time to weaken a country and a region by removing its president for trial," said Mahboub Maalim, head of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development regional organization, who was in The Hague for the hearing.

The case is seen as a major test of the ICC which has secured only two convictions since it was set up.
