WSI Oak Ridge, the contractor responsible for protecting the facility at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, is owned by the international security firm G4S, which was at the center of a dispute over security at the London Olympic Games. Officials said the facility was shut down on Wednesday at least until next week after three activists cut through perimeter fences to reach the outer wall of a building where highly enriched uranium, a key nuclear bomb component, is stored.

The activists painted slogans and threw what they said was human blood on the wall of the facility, one of numerous buildings in the facility known by the code name Y-12 that it was given during World War Two, officials said. While moving between the perimeter fences, the activists triggered sensors that alerted security personnel. But officials conceded the intruders were still able to reach the building's walls before security personnel got to them.

Peter Stockton, a former congressional investigator and security consultant to the Energy Department, expressed skepticism at government assertions the nuclear material was not at risk. "It is unbelievable this could happen," Stockton said. "The significance is outrageous. If they were terrorists, they could have blown open the door and got inside." Stockton said the security breach was the "worst we've ever seen."

Eleven miles of electric fencing charged with 5,000 volts of electricity and topped with razor wire separating the Olympic site from the rest of London; entrances to major venues guarded by soldiers, and surrounding streets patrolled by police heavily armed with automatic weapons, a rare sight in Britain.

One of the Royal Navy's largest warships docked on the river Thames as a staging post for military helicopters, some carrying snipers and special forces personnel ready to take out dangerous elements; another of the world's most advanced warships also stationed on the river; 6 missile sites dedicated to intercepting hostile aircraft; surface-to-air missile systems, scanning the skies to down any airborne threats, installed on the roofs of residential buildings; advanced fighter jets patrolling the sky above London.

Four of the most advanced aircraft developed by the European Union enforcing a strict no-fly zone around the city; unmanned drones flying above London to provide surveillance for security forces; helicopters with powerful imaging equipment to identify faces, clothes, even the smallest detail on any suspect individuals; thousands of street cameras feeding data to face-recognition software to spot any known hostile person from the crowds.

Armed FBI, CIA and Interpol officers in their hundreds are in London to help Scotland Yard. Londoners do not forget the tragic link between Islamic terrorism and these games: London won its bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games on 6th July 2005, the day before the 7/7 bombings.

Welcome to the Halal, Ramadan, Jihad Games.

In 1999, Bill Clinton's Republican-controlled 106th Congress amended Public Law 95-128, 12 USC § 2901, Jimmy Carter's 1977 Community Reinvestment Act to reduce what that legislation called discriminatory credit practices against minorities in impoverished areas — a banking practice known as "red-lining." The Clinton law, actually concocted by Republicans to curry favour from minorities voters, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, was officially known as The Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999.

It forced banks to make home loans guaranteed by Fannie Mae to low income families who were not "sound financial risks" for mortgages. It should have been called "The Mortgage Industry Implosion Time Bomb Act of 1999" because the 106th Congress lit the fuse. It took six years for the economic time bomb to explode and for the American mortgage industry to implode.

In his book, Bailout: Why TARP Failed, Barofsky said that Washington used our tax dollars to abandon Main Street while rescuing Wall Street. Barofsky said when he got to Washington he "...saw that Washington had been hijacked by a small group of very powerful Wall Street Banks. They captured regulators ideology ...and what I saw was TARP went from a programme that was supposed to help Main Street reinvigorate the economy, restart the economy and help home owners, turn into a programme that really only served the financial elites on Wall Street."

The reason: Its CEO Dan Cathy opposes same-sex marriage. In an interview with the Baptist Press, Mr Cathy was asked his views on the issue. He said that he supports the “biblical definition of the family unit.” Meaning — horror of all horrors — that Mr Cathy believes marriage should be between a man and a woman. That such a common-sense view could be controversial in today’s America shows how far society has fallen.

Anti-Christian activists immediately called for a boycott of Chick-fil-A. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel publicly vilified the chain. He claimed that Chick-fil-A does not share “Chicago values.” Mr Emanuel said the restaurant was not welcome in the Windy City. Yet, he warmly embraced Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. According to Mr Emanuel, a Christian family man expressing his private opinion defending traditional marriage is an extremist, while a radical black nationalist and vile anti-Semite is acceptable.

It is not just Mr Farrakhan. Planned Parenthood, porn merchants and gay pride parades are celebrated in Mr Emanuel’s Chicago. They are invited to come and stay. Killing unborn babies, selling smut and promoting the LGBT community — these are supposedly “Chicago values.” Christianity isn’t. Our ruling elites despise the moral traditions that were common only a generation ago. They are implementing a social revolution, seeking to abolish America’s Christian heritage. They are radicals — moral anarchists — masquerading as liberals. They are political thugs who in the name of “diversity” seek to impose secular uniformity.

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said that “Chick-fil-A doesn’t belong in Boston.” He even wrote a letter to Mr Cathy warning the company will not get the licenses needed to open two new restaurants in the Boston area. In short, Mr Menino was engaging in economic intimidation. His message was clear: Change your views or else take your business (and jobs) elsewhere.

This is an assault on freedom of speech and religious liberty — a dangerous violation of the First Amendment. Messrs Emanuel and Menino are essentially telling the owner of a private, family-owned business what he can or can’t believe about certain issues. And unless Mr Cathy toes the liberal-progressive line, his company will be punished and denied the ability to expand. It is a naked attempt to criminalize and delegitimize Christian views; to equate opposition to homosexual marriage with hate speech.

With this "Grand Area," the "Group on Grand Strategy" (GoGS) seeks to create a power base for a European Federal State, it considers necessary to establish. This "Grand Area" should also serve European interests in resources and deter foreign powers from meddling. This concept, WHICH CORRESPONDS, IN MANY WAYS TO GERMAN INTERESTS, also includes the establishment within the "Grand Area" of a network of "European" military bases, which therefore would be outside any national control.

The Bertelsmann Foundation, one of the most influential German think tanks, also has a representative on the GoGS Advisory Board. Within the Foundation, that political scientist's work is centered on the theme, "Europe's future." The "Grand Area" plan was elaborated by James Rogers, one of the co-founders of the Group on Grand Strategy (GoGS). In his comprehensive paper, "A new Geography of European Power?" Rogers makes a plea for the EU to take control over such a "Grand Area."

European military and civilian forces should regularly intervene to arrest "disorders" and insure a "liberal order." According to Rogers the "Grand Area" should "show the least likelihood of significant encroachment by powerful foreign actors" and should be defended "most cost-effectively through the expansion of the Common Security and Defence Policy." The "Grand Area" covers all of Europe including Iceland and Greenland, stretches to Central Asia and parts of South East Asia all the way to the Middle East and North Africa.

Sanctions, diplomacy and declarations of a willingness to take military action as a last resort had not yet convinced the Iranians to stop their programme, he said. "However forceful our statements, they have not convinced Iran that we are serious about stopping them. Right now the Iranian regime believes that the international community does not have the will to stop its nuclear programme."

[Mr] Netanyahu said earlier that although sanctions were hurting the Iranian economy, such measures had "yet to move its nuclear programme even a millimetre backwards". [Mr] Panetta is the fourth senior US administration official to visit Israel in recent weeks as concern has mounted in Washington that [Mr] Netanyahu is preparing the ground for a military strike in the coming months.
