North Korean leader Kim Jong Il dies at 69

Kim Jong Il, North Korea’s mercurial and enigmatic longtime leader, has died of heart failure. He was 69.

In a “special broadcast” Monday from the North Korean capital, state media said Kim died of a heart ailment on a train due to a “great mental and physical strain” on Dec. 17 during a “high intensity field inspection.” It said an autopsy was done on Dec. 18 and “fully confirmed” the diagnosis.

A spokesperson at the Unification Ministry confirmed to NBC News that Kim died on Saturday.

Kim is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008, but he had… Read more

Dictatura economica a inceput. Politicienii romani sunt ravasiti

Nasol moment, grea lovitura! Sa fii la putere sau cu ochii pe “ciolan” si sa primesti vesti sumbre de la Bruxelles nu e de ici de colea.

Dupa ce era din ce in ce mai greu sa furi ce mai era de furat prin Romania, dupa ultimul summit european, sansele unor noi tunuri financiare s-au diminuat considerabil.

Pentru ca ce n-a reusit FMI a reusit criza datoriilor suverane din Europa. Ajunsi intr-un punct critic, occidentalii si-au dat seama ca nu mai au alte optiuni si au asternut pe hartie un pact… Continuare aici

Cain suspends campaign shifting GOP race

Herman Cain suspended his faltering bid for the Republican presidential nomination on Saturday, throwing his staunchly conservative supporters up for grabs with just one month to go before the lead-off caucuses in Iowa.

Still sounding defiant, Cain denounced the drumbeat of sexual misconduct allegations against him as “false and unproven” but said that they had been hurtful to his family, particularly his wife, Gloria, and were drowning out his ability to deliver his message… Full article here

Criza extrema a datoriilor – Tarile UE vor avea nevoie de 10 trilioane de dolari in 2012

Guvernele tarilor europene vor avea nevoie de 10,5 trilioane de dolari in 2012, insa inca nu se stie daca se vor obtine acesti bani, avertizeaza Organizatia pentru Cooperare si Dezvoltare Economica (OECD).

Din cauza nesigurantei in zona euro, va fi foarte greu anul viitor ca statele europene sa obtina surse de finantare, se arata intr-un raport OECD, citat de Financial Times.

Daca in 2011, tarile UE au avut nevoie de 10,4 trilioane de euro pentru a-si acoperi datoriile si deficitele, in 2012, aceasta suma va ajunge la 10,5 miliarde de euro… Tot articolul aici

Islamists claim early victory in Egypt’s elections

Egypt (MNN)– Although Egypt is awaiting results from its first election since its February revolution, Islamists are claiming victory. Carl Moeller with Open Doors says that’s not a surprise. “Indications are that the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidates are maybe going to take about 40% of the seats in the Parliament for re-elections.” It’s still early in the results, but the numbers so far reveal a trend. “Even if the numbers I said about the Muslim Brotherhood are true, it doesn’t mean that there will be a majority of people in Egypt who are pro-Democracy, pro-Christian. I think what the Christians are expecting is an increase in tension.” There are concerns about what a Muslim-dominated government might mean for Gospel workers. But Moeller says not to panic. “Religion and politics, particularly in this part of the world, are inseparable. It’s very appropriate for us to look at a religious response. A Christian response to this would primarily be a recommitment to pray for our brothers and sisters in the Middle East.”

Top 5… informatori care au avut legături cu Europa Liberă

Neculai Constantin Munteanu

Toți sunt sau par a fi produsul schizofreniei generalizate pe care o presupunea viața într-un regim totalitar comunist și au sluijit cu zel Securitatea…

Azi vă propun un Top 5 al celor mai scârboși informatori. Este subiectiv. Am avut acces doar la două dosare, la unul numai parțial, cel aparent integral, provenit de la SIE, fiind în bună parte ilizibil. In rest este vorba de informații devenite publice din dosare, cercetări, analize, cărți și din deciziile și documentele CNSAS înaintate tribunalelor.

Îi cunosc personal pe toți cinci. Toți au avut legături cu Europa Libera. Cu unii am și lucrat. Trei dintre ei, foști deținuți politici sau urmași ai vechii boierimi, aveau motive să nu fie de partea Securității. Pentru serviciile lor au fost remunerați și au avut privilegiul de a călători în Vest…  Continuare aici
