John Key, Isra... er, New Zealand's PM
The "unusual" behaviour of Israelis in the wake of the Christchurch earthquake sparked a top level investigation, Prime Minister John Key has confirmed.

After almost a day of stonewalling, Key confirmed the probe, which involved the spy agency SIS, concluded there was no evidence they were Israeli intelligence agents.

In a carefully worded statement, he also verified a dead Israeli van driver had two passports. Three occupants who escaped the wreckage took their passports back to Israel, he said.

It comes after the defence force confirmed elite SAS troops were in Christchurch's red zone after the disaster - but insisted they weren't dealing with an unaccredited rescue squad.

Key, currently on a visit to the US, said the investigation was triggered by the rapid departure from New Zealand of three Israelis who survived the February 22 quake.

"Security agencies conducted the investigation and found no evidence that the people were anything other than backpackers," he said.

Israeli killed in New Zealand earthquake was Mossad agent

Ofer Mizrahi, Mossad agent
New Zealand security officials suspect Israeli Mossad agents were trying to obtain sensitive information from the state's databases, reported the local Southland Times newspaper on Tuesday. Authorities suspect that one of the agents was Ofer Mizrahi, one of three Israelis killed in the earthquake in the city of Christchurch last February.

Authorities have launched an investigation into what a senior security official called "suspicious activities of several groups of Israelis during and immediately after the earthquake."

There was extensive local media coverage of the search teams that were sent from Israel after the earthquake. The two private search parties were sent without prior coordination with officials in Jerusalem, and were met with difficulties after the local authorities prevented them from searching in the area.

Comment: This is one great thing to cherish and continue to look forward to during these tumultuous times - nothing that is hidden will remain unveiled. If it takes an earthquake to bring just desserts to an agent of this nefarious organisation, let's have more please!

As I've been reporting for quite some time now, trillions of our tax dollars have been looted by Wall Street, wars, global corporations and the richest one-tenth of one percent of the population. The economic crisis has made this blatant fact much more evident to the average person. Now that these elaborate schemes are coming undone and major cuts to vital social programs are beginning to be implemented, the American public is going to get a harsh wake up call.

With cuts to Social Security on the way, and Obama's recent comments saying that he cannot guarantee that Social Security checks will go out if the debt ceiling doesn't get raised, it's time to take a closer look at why politicians are pushing to cut this vital program.

The Social Security Trust Fund should currently have $2.5 trillion in surplus. So how is it that these checks could stop being issued if the debt ceiling isn't raised? Economics professor Dr. Allen Smith, author of The Looting of Social Security: How The Government is Draining America's Retirement Account, has been reporting on the theft of Social Security funds for years. As he sums it up:
"The government's $2.5 trillion debt to Social Security is the real reason that so many politicians want to cut benefits. They are trying to find a way to avoid having to repay the looted money.... Given the fact that much of the surplus revenue from the 1983 payroll tax hike ended up in the pockets of the super rich in the form of income tax cuts, I propose a special tax on this group of taxpayers to recoup the missing Social Security money. The government used revenue from the Social Security payroll tax hike to fund tax cuts for the rich because that was where the money was. I think the government should recover the 'embezzled' money by taxing the rich."

India: Gujarat ATS Unmasks Mysterious Mumbai Terror Plotter Haroon

Haroon, a terror operator from Kolkata who is suspected to have played key role in the recent Mumbai serial blasts, has been identified. Gujarat police's Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) officials say that youths from Gujarat and West Bengal may have been used in the terror strike.

ATS sources said: "Haroon, 26, owns a cloth business in Kolkata. He is, however, absconding. Haroon's email account proves that has been in touch with Taliban leaders." Much of these details, which are being probed further by teams of ATS Mumbai and Gujarat, were revealed by Danish Riyaz, a terror operative associated with the Indian Mujahideen. Danish was arrested in Vadodara by the city crime branch recently.

Just four months back Haroon had met Danish, who worked as a software engineer in Hyderabad. On occasions the duo had also met in Danish's home town, Ranchi in Jharkhand.

Bizarre Twist in Strauss-Kahn Sex Scandal

In a compiled photo, ex-IMF director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, left, is shown in a 2011 picture and French writer Tristane Banon, who accuses Strauss-Kahn of attempted rape, is shown in 2004.
French accuser's mom claims to be latest among ex-IMF chief's victims

The parade of women accusing Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual brutality has just taken another twist. A very bizarre twist.

It started in 2007 with allegations by Tristane Banon, a French journalist, that Strauss-Kahn had grappled "violently" with her and tried to undo her jeans and bra during a private interview. A year later, Piroska Nagy, a former economist at the International Monetary Fund, told IMF investigators that Strauss-Kahn had pressured her into a sexual relationship when she worked for him. The investigators confirmed the relationship but said there was "no evidence" that Strauss-Kahn had "threatened [her] in any way to induce her to engage in the affair." Other women accused him of making crude passes, and in May, he was indicted for allegedly assaulting a maid at a New York hotel. That case has crumbled because the accuser, according to prosecutors, lied to them about a previous rape. But the bruises in her vagina and the semen on her shirt, which reportedly matches Strauss-Kahn's DNA, leave him with a lot to explain.

Two weeks ago, Banon, Strauss-Kahn's initial accuser, filed a complaint accusing him of attempted rape. And another woman is now claiming to have endured sexual aggression at his hands: Banon's mother, Anne Mansouret.

Israel Pressures Colombia to Vote Against Palestinian State

Israel has urged Colombia to vote against the forming of a Palestinian state in an upcoming U.N. resolution and denies that Israeli construction projects in the West Bank are settlements, newspaper El Tiempo reported Sunday

The infrastructure minister of Israel delivered a letter to President Juan Manuel Santos Monday urging his government not to vote for Palestinian statehood.

Uzi Landau visited Colombia as part of a multi-nation campaign to persuade governments not to back a Palestinian bid for statehood in the United Nations. After nearly two decades of stalled negotiations dealing with Israel, the Palestinian Authority announced earlier this year that it would seek formal recognition from the U.N.

Landau urged Santos to oppose this move and expressed the need for Palestinians to continue direct negotiations with Israel to avoid what he called "unilateral" action through the United Nations. Landau argued that U.N. recognition of Palestine would destabilize the area and questioned what sort of principles a Palestinian state would follow.

New Zealand Prime Minister: No Indication that Israeli Killed in Earthquake was a Mossad Spy (Lie)

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key
New Zealand PM John Key says investigation uncovered no evidence linking group of four Israelis to the Mossad.

Reports that an Israeli killed in the New Zealand earthquake in February was an intelligence agent were wrong, Prime Minister John Key said on Wednesday.

The Southland Times reported that an Israeli who was crushed in a van was found with at least five passports and was part of a group suspected of trying to hack into the police computer system.

But Key said an investigation found no evidence linking the group of four Israelis and their country's intelligence service, the Mossad.

"The unusual circumstances which triggered the investigation was the rapid departure from the country of the three surviving members of the group of Israelis in question," Key said.

A federal judge sided with Google on Monday, granting the search giant the right to appeal his ruling that packet-sniffing on non-password-protected Wi-Fi networks is illegal wiretapping.

The decision by U.S. District Judge James Ware tentatively sets aside his June 29 ruling in nearly a dozen combined lawsuits seeking damages from Google for eavesdropping on open, unencrypted Wi-Fi networks from its Street View mapping cars. The vehicles, which rolled through neighborhoods across the country, were equipped with Wi-Fi - sniffing hardware to record the names and MAC addresses of routers to improve Google location-specific services. But the cars also secretly gathered snippets of Americans' data.

Police forces across the UK are rolling out mobile fingerprint scanners to speed up the identification of criminal suspects.

The National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) said that an initial trial of the MobileID Lantern devices by 28 forces had proved highly successful by reducing the time officers spend in the station.

Twenty-five forces are rolling out the devices at present, including the Metropolitan Police, Greater Manchester Police, Thames Valley Police and the Serious and Organised Crime Agency, and more are expected to get onboard over time.

A spokesperson for the NPIA told V3 that the devices are supplied by Cogent as part of a three-year contract worth £5.7m, and that 250 units will be rolled out initially followed by a further 250 in two weeks' time.
