US: Sarin bombs ready for Assad’s “go” order. Israel's odd silence
American officials said Wednesday, Dec. 4, that they believed bombs had been made ready with sarin gas, but not yet loaded onto fighter planes and Assad had not issued the “go” order. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned President Assad once again that he would be crossing “a red line” if he used nerve gas against the country’s rebels. But “there’s little the outside world can do to stop it.” In answer to US allegations, Syrian spokesmen reiterated that their government would not use chemical weapons against its own people. This statement.../
Iranians prepare terror campaign inside U.S.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is alive and well in the U.S. and the country’s law enforcement officials ignore them at their peril, according to former U. S. Air Force officer Steven O’Hern. O’Hern says that the Revolutionary Guard, long an influential factor in the radical Islamic regime in Iran, does most of its surveillance and intelligence gathering through its proxy force, Hezbollah, considered by many to be a terror group. “In the United States, the Revolutionary Guard uses more than one approach. Hezbollah operatives and sympathizers are.../

Julia Gillard: 'The end of the world is coming'
Julia Gillard's 50-second message addresses her "dear remaining fellow Australians". She steps in ahead of CSIRO scientists to foreshadow the world's impending doom. Ms Gillard lists the likely doomsday bringers to be flesh-eating zombies, demonic hell-beasts.... or K-Pop. But not the carbon price. According to the Mayan calendar, the world will meet its fiery end on December 21, 2012. Which means that, according to Doomsdayers, we've got a cool 15 days left to check everything off our bucket lists. OK, so it's just a commercial for a Triple.../

/Congress Demands United Nations Keep Hands Off the Internet
The House on Wednesday unanimously passed a Senate resolution calling on the United States to oppose the United Nations gaining control of the internet. The resolution (.pdf) vote by the House, which follows a similar move by the Senate, comes as the World Conference on International Telecommunications opened Monday in Dubai with some 190-plus nations discussing the global internet’s future. The gestures by both legislative chambers are largely symbolic, however, as they mimic the U.S. government’s stance at the two-week...---The UN asks for control over the world’s Internet

Europeans outraged over the US using Patriot Act for worldwide spying
Researchers from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands have condemned the United States for allowing the controversial Patriot Act to bypass foreign laws and let Americans intercept data from persons internationally. In a just published study, Cloud Computing in Higher Education and Research Institutions and the USA Patriot Act, researchers from the school’s Institute for Information Law say that legislation enacted to allegedly protect the security of US citizens has in the process eroded privacy protections on a global.../
USA's shifting attitudes toward gay men and lesbians
In the wake of historic victories for gay-rights supporters in last month's elections, a pair of USA TODAY/Gallup Polls find growing acceptance among Americans toward gay men and lesbians — and soaring optimism among gay Americans that issues involving homosexuality will one day no longer divide the nation. In a survey of respondents who identified themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, three of four say they are generally open with others about their sexual orientation. More than nine of 10 say people in their community have become...---Gay-marriage support strongest on coasts

Fed set to launch fresh bond buying program
The Federal Reserve is set to announce a fresh round of Treasury bond purchases when it meets next week, avoiding monetary policy tightening to maintain support for the weak U.S. economy amid uncertainty over the looming year-end “fiscal cliff.” Many economists think the U.S. central bank will announce monthly bond purchases of $45 billion after its policy gathering on Dec. 11-12, signaling it will continue to pump money into the U.S. economy du r ing 2013 in a bid to bring down unemployment. “We expect status quo,” said Laurence Meyer of.../

Citigroup to slash 4% of its workforce, 11,000 jobs worldwide
Citigroup Inc will eliminate 11,000 jobs worldwide, about 4% of its total staff, in a move to save as much as US$1.1 billion a year in expenses, the company said on Wednesday.
