American East Coast, and Caribbean tsunami: Worst case scenario
Good Morning Everyone,
I have known about this since I was in the navy 1978-1984 (East Coast Sailor) I have read both pro and con analysis of this subject.
When we are aware of a potentially devastating threat, we seem to prefer to ignore it in the hope that it will mysteriously disappear. Clearly, however, it won't, and it is about time that we sat up and paid attention to what nature can and will do.
A huge chunk of the Cumbre Vieja volcano, on the Canary Island of La Palma, is on the move. In 1949, this mass of rock perhaps as large as the Isle of Man dropped 4 metres seawards and stopped.
In the event of the worst case scenario how much time will the American East Coast, and Caribbean have to get the hell out of the way of the gigantic supper sonic tsunami of 100 M or higher?
Without evacuation, the destruction will end the lives of tens of millions and bring the global economy to its knees overnight.

Water Suits Flow Like H20
Wednesday December 29, 2:59 am ET
Marcia Coyle,
The National Law Journal
Water may be increasingly the staff of life in the West, but it also is the engine of litigation in federal courts with potentially sweeping implications for property rights and the environment.
The U.S. Supreme Court early next year will hear arguments in a breach-of-contract case whose legal question, while narrow, arises from what is fast becoming a familiar battle: The federal government, implementing a congressional mandate to preserve an endangered species or some other policy, diverts or reduces the amount of water from a federal water management project or river that farmers believe they have a legal right to use. Orff v. U.S., No. 03-1566. For Francis Orff and other farmers in California's San Joaquin Valley, two reductions in water and a price hike for what water they did receive meant huge economic burdens and, for some, bankruptcies, sellouts and an end to a family farming tradition.
"What my farmers ask me every day is: 'Bill, I thought there was such a thing as water rights,'" said William M. Smiland of Los Angeles' Smiland & Khachigian, who will argue the high court case. "My answer is the rules may have changed in the middle of the game. We are going to ask the Court to reaffirm they haven't changed. We have a rule of law here."
As Smiland prepares to face off against the government in his contract challenge, government lawyers are negotiating with leading property rights advocates over a recent $26 million damages ruling -- the first of its kind -- for another group of California farmers.
A U.S. Court of Federal Claims judge held three years ago that water restrictions imposed on the farmers by the government under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) were an unconstitutional taking without just compensation. Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District v. U.S., No. 98-101 L.
And waiting in the wings is a $1 billion lawsuit filed by the Klamath Tribes against power company PacifiCorp last spring in the U.S. district court in Portland, Ore., seeking damages for dam construction on the Klamath River that prevents salmon from reaching the upper Klamath Basin. The tribes, whose lawyers say the federal government may be sued as well, are seeking compensation for loss of their historic treaty rights to fish in the river's headwaters.
"There are sure to be more cases claiming damages for the government's taking of water rights and/or breach of water contract rights, particularly in view of the Tulare decision," said Jerry Stouck of Washington, D.C.'s Spriggs & Hollingsworth, a property rights specialist who has litigated major contract disputes against the government.
And referring to massive breach-of-contract litigation against the government by savings and loans and by nuclear plants in recent years, he added, "I don't want to say this is the next Winstar [savings and loan collapses] or spent [nuclear] fuel, but it may be."
WATER BATTLES
Mark Twain once wrote that in the West, "Whiskey is for drinking, and water is for fighting." As Twain's observation indicates, water has been crucial to the development of the West.
"There's a whole series of cases, at least a dozen in the Supreme Court, going back many years, that involve similar issues," said Stouck. "Historically, the government was trying to improve the water-management system. They were doing water management for water management's sake."
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation did that by building dams, or as in the Orff and Tulare cases, building the Central Valley Project, the largest federal water-management project in the United States, a 400-mile-long system of dams, reservoirs and canals begun in 1937. Along the way, farmers and others created water districts that entered into contracts with the bureau for distribution of water.
"What is happening now -- which is reflected in the current wave of litigation, with ESA cases so far the predominant type -- is that the government is doing something other than water management," said Stouck. "It's trying to pursue some other policy in a way that affects the flows of water."
In the Orff and Tulare cases, water was diverted for the protection of the delta smelt and the winter-run Chinook salmon.
"Basically it's what you might call 'in-stream' values that are at stake," said environmental law scholar Joseph Sax of the University of California, Berkeley School of Law. "Traditionally in the West, water has been allocated for irrigation and municipal use. People take water out of streams. But many streams dried up.
"In recent years, because of recreational, aesthetic and environmental concerns, there's been an effort to get water back into those streams, to restore fisheries for example," he said. "This has become most controversial with the ESA just because it's such a strong law and it gets enforced."
But it's not just environmentalists. As seen from the Klamath Tribes' suit, involving coho salmon, Native American claims are another important element of the water rights litigation.
"Those are sometimes in-stream claims," said Sax. "Indians want water for fisheries. But they also want water for its economic value. There is a long history where the federal government was building [water] projects for cities and farmers and not doing anything for the Indians."
But in recent years, he said, Indians are making "very powerful" property claims for rights that date back to the establishment of their reservations.
In the end, however, the water rights litigation, Sax believes, is about "a change in terms of society's priorities and a need to figure out how to adapt people with traditional uses and expectations to that change."
RIGHTS MOVEMENT
Raising the temperature of the already-heated water rights litigation, according to some scholars and observers, is the involvement of the property rights movement.
In the Tulare case, for example, the water districts and farmers are represented by Roger and Nancie Marzulla of Washington, D.C.'s Marzulla & Marzulla, long-time property rights advocates. Nancie Marzulla is head of Defenders of Property Rights, a public interest law firm. Another major property rights group, the Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), is also handling a number of water rights cases.
Andrew Lloyd, director of PLF's Western Water Law Project, said that the Tulare decision has "changed the landscape over how water is going to be fought over in the next 10 years."
In Tulare, the water districts and farmers argued that they had contract rights entitling them to the use of a specified quantity of water. The government reduced that quantity three years in a row. By preventing them from using that water, the farmers argued that the government had deprived them of the entire value of their contract right -- a physical taking of property.
The Court of Federal Claims rejected all of the government's arguments, including that this was a regulatory, not a physical, taking, and that the public trust doctrine, the doctrine of reasonable use and nuisance law limited the scope of the farmers' property right.
"The federal government is certainly free to preserve the fish; it must simply pay for the water it takes to do so," said Senior Judge John Paul Wiese.
"Wiese said every drop of water is a piece of property you own," said Stouck. "That concept has implications for lots and lots of takings. The government is always saying, 'Even though we may have done something to hurt you, you have lots of property, lots of value left.' If true, it's not a taking. Judge Wiese said rights in water are absolute."
However, Stouck cautioned, there are lots of water contracts with varying details that could make a critical difference in the next case.
The government, to the disappointment of California and environmentalists, has not appealed Wiese's decision. Stouck suggests that the government may not feel that winning the appeal would end all cases because of the varying contract provisions, and it could lose.
Other lawyers suggest that the Bush administration may not be too unhappy with a property rights victory here because it is not a strong supporter of the ESA.
"A lot of folks on the environmental side are really quite nervous about the value of Tulare," said PLF's Lloyd. "If the government has to pay for what it takes, that really changes the approach and cost of environmental regulation."
Sax, who filed an amicus brief supporting the government in Tulare, agreed, saying, "This can affect things like water quality, hydropower, so-called bypass flows to protect fisheries. And, because we have a property rights movement that's very eager to sort of test the limits of property rights against all sorts of government regulation, my own view is that Tulare will be taken around from state to state, for all kinds of regulations that adversely affect traditional uses. This is something states ought to be nervous about."
THREE TYPES OF CASES
PLF's Lloyd said he sees three types of water rights cases percolating around the country: classic takings cases like Tulare and Klamath Tribes, access cases and groundwater cases.
The government owns a lot of land in the West, he noted, much of it in the mountains where water gets diverted. In the access cases, an irrigation district may have a license to move water across the land. But a few suits, primarily by environmentalists, claim that the Forest Service can put new restrictions on the easements limiting how much water can be moved to protect stream flows.
"The argument is: You still have the water right but you just can't get to it and that's not our problem,'" explained Lloyd. "It seems to me that is a taking."
In the groundwater arena, he said, "It's hard to get a new water right in this country because so many rivers are spoken for. Groundwater is another potential place. Water districts are starting to say, 'If you want to build a new division or want a building permit, you've got to give us your groundwater right or you have to go and buy one.'"
Sax believes that water rights suits are the result of a failure by the parties to negotiate as was done in enforcement of habitat conservation plans.
"They don't want to settle; they don't want to make a deal," he said.
Farmers' counsel Smiland said his clients think the "ideal" constitutional answer is the government can't have the water. "The middle ground is if they get it, they should at least pay for it. The other extreme is taking it for free and that's what they're doing."
Lloyd agreed, adding that "Tens of billions of dollars are at stake. This fight is a long way from done."

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Saint Luke
Chapter 2
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Saint John
Chapter 3
16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22. After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

Sudan jihad forces Islamon ChristiansWomen refusing to convert gang-raped,mutilated, says relief worker
Posted: March 4, 2002 1:00 a.m. Eastern
By Art Moore © 2002 WorldNetDaily.com For more information, see the video, "Sudan: The Hidden Holocaust"
Sudan's militant Muslim regime is slaughtering Christians who refuse to convert to Islam, according to the head of an aid group who recently returned from the African nation.
The forced conversions are just one aspect of the Khartoum government's self-declared jihad on the mostly Christian and animist south, Dennis Bennett, executive director of Seattle-based Servant's Heart told WorldNetDaily.
Villagers in several areas of the northeast Upper Nile region say that when women are captured by government forces they are asked: "Are you Christian or Muslim?"
Women who answer "Muslim" are set free, but typically soldiers gang-rape those who answer "Christian" then cut off their breasts and leave them to die as an example for others.
Bennett says these stories are corroborated by witnesses from several tribes in the region. Upon returning to the U.S., he wrote a letter to influential members of Congress and activists.
"After witnessing once again the situation on the ground there," Bennett wrote, "I must ask 'How long will the United States government allow the Government of Sudan to continue its jihad against the Black African Christians of South Sudan?'"
Backed by Muslim clerics, the National Islamic Front regime in the Arab and Muslim north declared a jihad, or holy war, on the south in 1989. Since 1983, an estimated 2 million people have died from war and related famine. About 4.5 million have become refugees.
Sudan's holy war against the south was reaffirmed in October by First Vice President Ali Osman Taha.
"The jihad is our way, and we will not abandon it and will keep its banner high," he said to a brigade of mujahedin fighters heading for the war front, according to Sudan's official SUNA news agency. "We will never sell out our faith and will never betray the oath to our martyrs."
The U.S. House of Representatives adopted a resolution finding that Khartoum is "systematically committing genocide," but current legislation that would impose sanctions has been stalled. The Sudan Peace Act is opposed by both the White House and Wall Street.
Sanctions in the House version of the bill target oil revenues that Khartoum is using to fuel its war effort. Bennett, with 20 years experience in international risk management and banking, said he was the first to probe the link between oil and jihad that is now documented and publicized by human rights groups. His research began in 1996 when he asked: If you're the government of Sudan and you're broke, how are you paying for your war?
In his letter urging action by the U.S., he points out that Sudan's military continues to decorate and promote known war criminals such as Commander Taib Musba, who in the mid-1980s killed an estimated 15,000 unarmed, civilian, ethnic Uduk Christians.
In 1986, Musba entered the Uduk tribal capital of Chali and declared to its Christians: "You are all going to convert from Christianity to Islam today, because here is what's going to happen to you if you don't."
Musba then killed five church leaders in front of the gathered villagers. When they refused to convert, he began killing unarmed men, women and children. Some were herded at gunpoint into a hut then run over by a 50-ton, Soviet-made tank.
He also herded groups of about a dozen people into a hut, where he asked the first person "Do you renounce Jesus Christ?" Anyone who refused was killed by a three-inch nail driven into the top of the head.
The U.N. high commissioner for refugees granted the Uduks international refugee status in 1992 after investigating the atrocities, but almost as many died during the six years they waited for the declaration.
Islam also is forced on Sudanese in the Muslim north. Security police in Khartoum are pursuing a local convert to Christianity who went into hiding three weeks ago to escape arrest and possible death, the Compass Direct news service reports. Aladin Omer Agabni Mohammed, who left Islam 11 years ago to become a Christian, is subject to the death penalty under Sudanese criminal law for "apostasy." According to a church leader, two other converts face a similar situation.
Forced starvation
Bennett says that in addition to the more immediate, readily apparent atrocities taking place, there is a slower, less perceptive persecution that is equally deadly.
Forced starvation is one of the primary tools of the Khartoum regime, he says. When government forces attack a Christian village, they kill everyone they catch, but those who flee lose everything necessary for survival.
"The government comes in and burns the crops, burns grain stored if there was any excess, burns houses down," Bennett said. "Now you have only the clothes on your back, no tools, no cooking pots, no buckets for water, and you have to run two days through the bush in 115-degree temperatures in order to escape."
In the arid wilderness, escapees try to survive on tree leaves and stagnant, dysentery-infested water. If a women is breastfeeding, her milk dries up, Bennett said, and the baby starts dying. Small children, just weaned, also start dying.
"But all the family has to do is change their name to Muhammad or Ramadan, convert to Islam and walk the two days back to the government of Sudan who will care for them," he said.
Last year, the government of Sudan burned all the crops in the area where Bennett's group works.
"There wasn't anything to harvest," he said. "Literally we saw people eating roots and tree leaves. It's like eating the nutritional properties of cardboard. It's enough to put something in your stomach but not enough to feed you."
A food drop came from the U.N. World Food Program, he said, "but they never came in to do an assessment; they just dropped it from the air."
As the "hungry season" approaches – the rainy period of June, July and early August – emergency food supplies become critical. Servant's Heart believes it will need to feed 50,000 people in its area during that time.
Slavery as tool of terror
Slavery is another tool of the National Islamic Front regime, though Bennett says it is not known in the northeast Upper Nile region, mainly because of lack of transportation.
Western Bahr El Ghazal is one location where it persists because the railroad line allows captured men, women and children to be taken to slave markets in the north.
"If you want to end systematic slavery, blow up the train line and keep it blown up," Bennett said.
The ongoing controversy surrounding slave redemption – the practice of buying freedom promoted by some humanitarian groups – arose again in the past week when the Irish Times and Washington Post published exposes acknowledging the existence of slavery in Sudan but alleging that fake slave redemption is taking place.
Bennett respects the work of groups buying back the slaves, but he believes it is inevitable that some will be conned. Engaging in the practice is a matter of individual conscience, he says.
"Anytime you have tens of thousands of American dollars coming into an area you've got potential problems of corruption," Bennett said.
He says the "jury is still out" on whether it fuels the market by increasing demand.
"Slave-taking would still be happening even if nobody was buying back slaves," he said. "Maybe not to the full extent."
But he believes it's important to keep in mind that taking slaves is "just one more facet of the jihad against the civilian population" in southern Sudan. The methods may vary in different parts of the country, but the aim is the same.
"In the Uduk tribe, Taib Musba drove three-inch nails into people's heads," he said. "In northeast Upper Nile, they are gang-raping women and cutting off their breasts; in western Bahr El Ghazal, they are capturing women and selling them as slaves."

Islamic terror based on Qu’ran: ex-CIA official
By SHELDON KIRSHNER Staff Reporter
A former top official of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency paints a menacing picture of the relationship between Islam and terrorism.
“Islamic terrorism is based on Islam as revealed through the Qu’ran,” keynote speaker Bruce Tefft claimed in a panel discussion at the University of Toronto on jihad and global terrorism. The session, held late last month, was sponsored by the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Speakers Action Group.
Tefft, a founder of the CIA’s counter-terrorism center and now an advisor to the New York Police Department’s intelligence and counter-terrorism divisions, said that without Islam, the long-term strategy of Al Qaeda and its followers make little sense.
Linking Osama bin Laden to the attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001, Tefft said: “To pretend that Islam has nothing to do with Sept. 11 is to willfully ignore the obvious and to forever misinterpret events.”
In a harsh indictment of Islam – the world’s fastest growing religion and the second-largest faith after Christianity – Tefft said that while there may be moderate Muslims, Islam itself is immoderate.
And, he added, “There is no difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalism, which is a totalitarian construct.”
According to Tefft, the Qu’ran enjoins Muslims to believe that the whole world should be governed by the principles of Islam, an expansionist religion that has historically grown through conquest.
All infidels are to be converted, enslaved or killed, he said, drawing on the knowledge of Bernard Lewis, a Jewish historian who has written books about Islam and Islamic history.
Tefft, whose career at the CIA spanned 21 years, argued that Islam was a religion of peace and tolerance in its formative phase, but has since grown intolerant of non-Muslims.
Islam cannot be reformed because its teachings, as revealed through the Qu’ran, are regarded as the word of God, and to be a Muslim, a believer must accept the Qu’ran on a literal basis, Tefft said.
He said Islam views Judaism and Christianity as failed religions and itself as the only true religion.
Islamic terrorists are animated by passionate anti-Western convictions, Tefft argued. They blindly sacrifice their lives for the chance of going to paradise and enjoying the charms of 72 virgins.
To them, the United States is the epitome of evil, because its constitution separates church and state.
Tefft said Al Qaeda’s 700-page training manual covers all aspects of terrorism, from surveillance to assassinations, and is drawn from U.S., Russian and Iranian manuals .
“They’ve compiled the best of the best.”
Of the 6,000 or more mosques in North America, 80 per cent are radical in orientation and devoted to spreading an intolerant Wahabi strain of Islam. They are funded by Saudi Arabia, he said.
David Harris, the former head of strategic planning at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, said that Islamic fundamentalists are hostile to Canada and consider it a “Little Satan.”
He warned that Hezbollah has begun surveying sites in Canada for possible terrorist attacks.
Canada, though, innocently thinks it is immune to such aggression, Harris said.
John Thompson, the president of the MacKenzie Institute, a Canadian research organization, said Al Qaeda has a reservoir of recruits for at least a generation to come.
Tom Kay, the chief of police in Owen Sound and the immediate past president of the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, said Canadian law enforcement agencies that combat terrorism are under-funded.
“We face complacency from people in power,” he said, referring to Canadian politicians at all levels.
It is scandalous that more money is not being allocated to counter-terrorism efforts, Kay said.
Leo Adler, the director of national affairs for Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, urged Canada to be more resolute in fighting terrorism.
Rather than operating in a vacuum, Jihadists work with highly honed organizations that supply them with funds, logistical support and intelligence, Adler commented.
