Intelligence Head Says Next President Faces Volatile Era
By Joby Warrick
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, October 31, 2008; A10
NASHVILLE, Oct. 30 -- The next U.S. president will govern in an era of increasing international instability, including a heightened risk of terrorist attacks in the near future, long-term prospects of regional conflicts and diminished U.S. dominance across the globe, the nation's top intelligence officer said Thursday.
Competition for energy, water and food will drive conflicts between nations to a degree not seen in decades, and climate change and global economic upheaval will amplify the effects, Mike McConnell, the director of national intelligence, said in a speech here.
McConnell, who has given security briefings to both major-party presidential candidates, said the list of worries will soon drown out the euphoria as the next occupant of the White House settles into the job.
"After the new president-elect's excitement subsides after winning the election, it is going to be dampened somewhat when he begins to focus on the realities of the myriad of changes and challenges," he said.
He added that, besides the predictable conflicts and threats, "there is always surprise." McConnell said that the first months of a new presidency are a "period of most vulnerability," noting that major terrorist attacks occurred during the first year of the administrations of George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
The sobering assessment was in part a reflection of a months-long analysis McConnell's agency is preparing for the next administration, highlighting security challenges the country will face in the next two decades. Elements of that forecast have been described by intelligence officials in recent weeks, and some highlights have been shared with the presidential candidates in briefings that have occurred since the August conventions.
In the near term, the focus remains largely on al-Qaeda and its global network, which remains "very lethal" despite dramatic setbacks in Iraq and elsewhere, McConnell said. But in spite of progress against Osama bin Laden and his followers, the terrorist threat is not likely to disappear in the next 20 years. Instead, absent major economic and political improvements in the Middle East, "conditions will be right for growing radicalism and recruitment of youths into terrorist groups," many of which will be descendants of established movements such as al-Qaeda, he said. These groups will probably be more dangerous than their predecessors, because new technology will place dangerous weapons within their grasp, he warned.
"One of our greatest concerns continues to be that a terrorist group or some other dangerous group might acquire and employ biological agents or, less likely, a radiological device, to create casualties greater than September 11," McConnell said.
Meanwhile, population growth will create instability by increasing the strain on natural resources -- not only energy but also fresh water and food supplies, he said. At the same time, large swaths of the planet will struggle to find reliable supplies of fresh water, because of urbanization and climate change. By 2025, 1.4 billion people in 36 countries will face water shortages, McConnell said. The scarcity of basic necessities will "create significant tensions on the globe," he said. Other intelligence officials in recent weeks have forecast declining U.S. dominance in the near future, but McConnell described the coming change in starker terms. Intelligence analysts see China, India and perhaps Russia ascending to new positions of power, a shift being driven by a massive transfer of wealth and manufacturing capability from the West to Eastern countries, particularly China.
"China is poised to have more impact on the world over the next 20 years than any other country," he said. "China will also start becoming a major military power by 2025 [and] will likely be the world's largest importer of natural resources and the largest contributor to pollution."

ATTORNEY GENERAL TO CLASSIFY PRO-LIFE, PRO-GUN AMERICANS AS TERRORISTS
By NWV News writer Jim Kouri

An amendment to a bill swiftly moving through the US Congress will allow the Obama Administration's Attorney General to classify Americans as domestic terrorists if they are pro-life, pro-gun and anti-big government.
Impeached Florida judge -- now a Democrat Party member of the House of Representatives -- Rep. Alcee Hastings introduced what some claim is a disturbing piece of legislation. Hasting's amendment calls for the Attorney General to have discretion over who is called a terrorist and what groups will be treated as terrorist groups.
"This is arguably one of the worst pieces of legislation to come down the pike in a long, long time. In essence Attorney General Eric Holder -- a Bill Clinton retread -- will have the discretion to label Americans terrorists. Hastings is a dangerous man and should be forced to resign from congress. He's also proposed the creation of "emergency camps" that are nothing more than prisons," warns political strategist Mike Baker.
This amendment is part and parcel of the trend in this country to suppress dissent by patriots by calling them domestic terrorists, he added.
In an unclassified report entitled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,Secretary for Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and her agency included the following description of "extremists:"
"Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."
Last Thursday, Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) made the following remarks on the House Floor regarding Congressman Alcee Hastings’ (D-FL) amendment to the National Defense Authorization bill:
"The Hastings Amendment to the National Defense Authorization bill (which now is being considered en bloc) prohibits the recruitment, enlistment, or retention of persons with known affiliations to "groups determined by the Attorney General to be of a violent, extremist nature."
Members on both sides of the aisle support the purpose of this amendment because we recognize that there are legitimate concerns about the enlistment of persons who may seek to use their military training to cause harm to innocents, but we should take pause to consider the breadth of this amendment carefully. I just want to express concern about the language of this amendment, and my concerns are shared by many in this House," said Rep. Franks.
While the amendment seeks to keep gang members and members of violent groups out of the military, the amendment by its language is much more broad. Specifically, it confers upon the Attorney General the ability to categorize groups as hate groups, and this sounds an alarm for many of us because of the recent shocking and offensive report released by the Department of Homeland Security which labeled, arguably, a majority of Americans as "extremists," warned Franks.
I take extreme offense that the federal government -- through
a report issued under the authority of a Cabinet-level official -- would
dare to categorize people who are "dedicated to a single issue,
such as opposition or abortion or immigration" as "right-wing
extremists and it begs the question of whether the Attorney General,
under Mr. Hastings' Amendment, can look to the Napolitano report to
decide who is an extremist, or can make the same categorization of the
majority of Americans as extremists who may then be kept from joining
the military, or who may be discharged, said Rep. Franks.
I want to state unequivocally that I believe that it is not the
intent of this Congress to label pro-lifers, federalism proponents,
and pro-immigration enforcement groups and their affiliates as extremists
under the bill. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle should
make a strong effort to assuage these concerns and make our intentions
clear. If the intent of this amendment is to go after citizens because
of their political views and moral convictions, then the amendment is
unconstitutional. I hope that the sponsor of the Amendment will make
clear tonight that this is not the intent, he added.
Rep. Alcee Hastings also introduced what many say is another disturbing
piece of legislation. That new bill calls for the Secretary of Homeland
Security Janet Napolitano to build at least six facilities that can
be designated as emergency centers. Hastings rationale for such
facilities is to gather and house civilians on what are
basically detention centers guarded by armed soldiers or paramilitary
troops.
The
House bill (HR
645) -- National Emergency Centers Establishment Act -- is not even
on the radar of members of the elite media. According to critics of
the plan, if passed the government will create camps or centers that
by their nature restrict the activities of US citizens herded into them.
In
fact, one provision -- Section 2 (b) (4) -- states: [To] meet
other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security.
One critic, political
strategist Mike Baker claims the idea of such detention center smacks of the
type of concentration camps for political dissidents, such as
occurred in Nazi Germany, Americans find repugnant.
Why
aren't the news media covering this story?
Could it be because they fear being the first occupants of these so-called emergency
installations? Where is the outrage by our nation's Fourth Estate? asks
Baker.
Hastings bill is
suspected of attempting to help expand the President Obama's
military and law enforcement powers. While Hastings pushes this bill,
even Republican congressmen are hesitant to remind one another and the nation
that this Florida congressman was impeached while he sat on Florida's federal
court bench.
Appointed
by President Jimmy Carter in 1979, he became the first African-American
federal judge in the state of Florida, and served in that position for
ten years. Hes still called Judge by some of his
colleagues, but one would think hed rather forget his days on the federal bench.
In 1989, Judge Hastings
was impeached by the US House of Representatives for bribery and perjury. The Democratic-controlled Senate convicted Hastings of accepting a $150,000$ bribe in 1981 in exchange for a lenient sentence and of perjury in his testimony about the case. Hastings said the charges against him smacked of racism.
Even Rep. John Conyers, who is also black, said he found no trace of racism during the investigation. He urged his colleagues to remove Hastings from the bench. He said, [Hastings] is unfit to serve.
When the ultra-liberal Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi nominated Hastings for the chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee, even members of her own political party balked.
The prospect of Rep. Alcee Hastings becoming the chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee was proposed by Congressional Black Caucus, who had been pressuring the new House Speaker Pelosi to appoint blacks to key leadership positions and Hasting benefited from the pressure on the radical left Pelosi, said former Detective Sidney Frances (NYPD-ret.), himself an African-American.
While Hastings did not become chairman of that committee, he is a ranking member of the Homeland Security Subcommittee.

Personal Security Solution
The Gift of Salvation
Whether you believe
in a spiritual war or not, you still need Salvation. It is all that will save you when this life on earth is finished.
Do you know beyond the shadow of a doubt where you would go if you died tonight?
If not, please
consider the following, we pray it's a blessing to you.
The Bible says there is only one way to Heaven
Jesus said: "I am the
way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6)
Good works cannot save you.
"For by grace are ye
saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9) Trust Jesus Christ today!
Here's what you must do:
- Admit you are a sinner.
"For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Romans 5:12)"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." (1 John 1:10)
- Be willing to turn from sin (repent).
Jesus said: "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:5)
"And the times of
this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:" (Acts 17:30) - Believe that Jesus
Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead."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." (John 3:16)
"But God commendeth
his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners. Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9)
- Through prayer, invite
Jesus into your life to become your personal Saviour."For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation." (Romans 10:10)"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)
| What to pray: Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour. |
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)
If you have received Jesus Christ as your Saviour, as a Christian you should: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15) "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalms 119:105) "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." (Matthew 21:22) "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." (Philippians 4:6) "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" (Matthew 28:19) "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25) "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" (2 Timothy 3:16) "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15) "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!" (1 Corinthians 9:16) "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
