Top Revelations from Wikileaks Cables

Wikileaks is “the largest set of confidential documents ever to be released into the public domain”. With 251,287 leaked United States embassy cables dating from 1966 to February 2010, the online confidential document flood has sent ripples through the entire world. Needless to say, this grand unraveling of the alleged truth will have an appreciable, if not a great, effect on world diplomacy and political affairs.

Governments across the globe are persistent in their efforts to take down the website, but as founder and editor-in-chief of Wikileaks says, such endeavors would never be able to stop the online leaks. Following is a list of the top cablegate revelations, originally compiled by The Lookout.

Regarding Iran’s Nuclear Program

As revealed by certain cables, leaders of several Middle Eastern countries are secretly apprehensive of the Iranian nuclear program. In fact, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, in consistent talks regarding this very matter, has advised the US to “cut the head of the snake”.

US Diplomats’ Verbal Foray against World Leaders

In several cables, US Diplomats have been found voicing their highly unflattering opinions of certain world leaders. Afghan President Hamid Karzai is labeled as “driven by paranoia”, Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi as “feckless, vain, and ineffective as a modern European leader” and France’s Nicolas Sarkozy as “an emperor with no clothes”. According to one leak, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi enjoys the company of a “voluptuous blonde” Ukrainian nurse in all his travels.

US Confiscating HEU from Pakistan

Starting in 2007, the US has been making off with highly enriched uranium (HEU) from a Pakistani nuclear reactor so as to prevent its use in the fabrication of nuclear weaponry.

Guantanamo Detainee Trading

Leaks suggest that the present US administration, as part of their delayed program to shut down Guantanamo Bay detention camp, has tried to convince countries such as Slovenia and Kiribati to accept detainees from the maximum security prison in exchange for huge incentives.

Afghan Vice President Corruption Allegation

One cable accuses Afghan Vice President Ahmed Zia Massoud of taking $52 million in cash in a trip to the United Arab Emirates.

China, US and Unified Korea

United States’ ambassador to Seoul believes, as suggested in his report to the US administration, that it may be possible to lure China into agreeing to the peaceful reunification of Chinese-dependant North Korea and US-allied South Korea through lucrative business deals. Certain documents reveal that the US and South Korea have already had numerous discussions regarding the matter.

Hezbollah Backed by Syrian Arms

According to US intelligence, Syria continued to support Hezbollah with advanced weaponry only a week after Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad vowed that he would discontinue backing the Lebanese paramilitary organization.

H. R. Clinton’s Spies

US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has allegedly been ordering diplomats to collect information on Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, North Korea, Sudan and Somalia as well as on United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon’s stand on Iran.

Qatar’s Reluctant Counterterrorism Efforts

One cable describes Qatar’s security forces as “hesitant to act against known terrorists out of concern for appearing to be aligned with the U.S. and provoking reprisals”. Purportedly, the US Department of State deems the country as the worst in endeavors against terrorism.

Putin-Berlusconi Camaraderie

One cable observes Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has been increasingly openhanded towards Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, presenting him with generous energy contracts & “lavish gifts” and Berlusconi has consistently expressed his support for his Russian counterpart in Europe.

A Huge Hole In The Germany

A gaping hole 30 meters (98 feet) in diameter and 20 meters (65.6 feet) deep opened up in the eastern German town of Schmalkalden early on Monday morning. An empty vehicle plunged into it but no one was hurt, even though the chasm is in the middle of a residential area.

A total of 25 people were evacuated from six houses and soil is continuing to crumble from the edge of the crater, police said. Wolfgang Peter, a resident, said he had been woken by a roaring sound at 3 a.m. on Monday morning. “First I heard the rushing of water and then it sounded as if a dozen gravel trucks were being emptied,” Peter told the regional newspaper Thüringer Allgemeine.

He went outside to find out who was carrrying out roadworks at that time of night and found himself standing on the edge of a giant crater right next to his house.

‘Natural Cause’ Likely

Ralf Luther, a regional official, said 10,000 to 12,000 cubic meters of soil had slipped. A line of garages right on the edge of the hole is at risk of plunging into it and cracks have appeared in nearby houses. Luther said residents were lucky not to have been hurt.

Experts are at the scene to find out what caused the hole. The environment and agriculture minister for the state of Thuringia, Jürgen Reinholz, said: “I assume that there is a natural cause for the landslide.” He ruled out that salt mining could have been the cause.

A spokesman for the ministry said the region is prone to landslides because of its geological makeup and pointed out a similar case in the town of Tiefenort where five houses became uninhabitable when a two-meter deep crater opened up in January.

Emergency workers standing near the edge of the crater. Six houses have been evacuated and earth is continuing to crumble from the rim of the crater, police said.

A total of 25 people had to be evacuated from nearby buildings. Emergency workers said the hole was increasing in size hour by hour.

A police helicopter with infrared camera flew over the hole to make sure that no people were trapped at the bottom. No one is believed to have been hurt.

Garages on the abyss. Four cars are perilously close to the edge. A regional official said 10,000 to 12,000 cubic meters of soil had slipped in the landslide. Cracks have appeared in nearby houses.

The whole area has been cordoned off and electricity, water and gas lines have been cut off.

Geologists from the regional mining authority and from the environment ministry are examining the crater. A spokesman for the ministry said the region is prone to landslides because of its geological makeup and pointed out a similar case in the town of Tiefenort, some 40 kilometers from Schmalkalden, earlier this year where five houses became uninhabitable when a two-meter deep crater opened up in January.

Evacuated residents are comforted by friends and relatives

The crater opened up at 3 a.m. on Monday morning. Thuringia’s environment and agriculture minister, Jürgen Reinholz said: “I assume that there is a natural cause for the landslide.” He ruled out that it could have been triggered by salt mining.

Workers cut power lines to prevent electric shocks following the landslide.

Residents were initially provided with accommodation in tents erected by the fire brigade. Authorities said the town had been lucky that there had been no casualties.

Space Shuttle Endeavour Ready To Touch The Sky

Countdown clocks resumed ticking at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday in preparation for NASA's third attempt to launch space shuttle Endeavour on a construction mission to the International Space Station.

Liftoff is scheduled for 7:39 p.m. EDT on Saturday. Two previous launch attempts in June were canceled due to potentially dangerous hydrogen fuel leaks.

"We're all eager to get Endeavour and her crew on their way to the International Space Station," said Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, a shuttle launch manager. "We're ready to fly this mission."

Technicians fixed the leak and last week filled the fuel tank with 500,000 gallons (1.9 million liters) of supercold liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to test if the repair was successful.

The leak did not reappear, prompting managers to clear Endeavour for launch on a 16-day mission to deliver the final piece of Japan's Kibo complex to the space station.

The Endeavour crew plans to conduct five spacewalks during their stay at the station to install a porch onto Kibo for science experiments, as well as to replace batteries in a solar panel wing and perform other maintenance tasks.

The three-day launch countdown began on Wednesday. The only remaining obstacle appeared to be the weather. Meteorologists predicted only a 40 percent chance that conditions would be suitable for a launch attempt on Saturday.

"We're expecting we'll see some afternoon thunderstorms in the area around launch time," said shuttle weather officer Kathy Winter.

NASA has eight flights remaining to complete construction of the $100 billion station, a project of 16 nations. The agency plans to retire the shuttle fleet next year and develop new spaceships that can travel to the moon and other destinations as well as the space station.

shuttle this week will make a third try at launching for a rendezvous with the International Space Station, after potentially hazardous hydrogen gas leaks twice delayed the mission, space
officials said.


Space shuttle Endeavour commander Mark Polansky makes a few comments after the he and the Endeavour crew arrived at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., Tuesday, July 7, 2009. Endeavour and its crew, scheduled for a July 11 launch, will deliver and install the final elements of Japan Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory to the International Space Station.

A hydrogen leak at the location during tanking for the STS-127 mission caused the launch attempts to be scrubbed on June 13 and June 17. NASA plans a fueling test Wednesday July 1, 2009 of shuttle ahead of July 11 launch attempt.

NASA canceled the launch of space shuttle Endeavour on Wednesday for the second time after a potentially dangerous hydrogen gas leak surfaced while the ship was being fueled for flight. The next opportunity to launch Endeavour will be on July 11.

The Global Roll-Out Of Myspace Mail

MySpace has started the global roll-out of MySpace Mail, the social networking’s email service.

MySpace Mail is intended to help MySpace users to communicate and share content with people both inside and outside of the MySpace network.

The announcement follows growing speculation that the suffering network had devised the new service in an attempt to retain its declining userbase and attract new members.

Users around the world should expect to see the service rolled out in beta over the next two weeks. The company describes the email service as blending “the best of social networking and traditional mail”.

MySpace Mail is intended to help MySpace users to communicate and share content with people both inside and outside of the MySpace network. The site’s current messaging platform accounts for almost 20 per cent of its traffic, according to the company’s own figures.

All MySpace users who have registered their own “vanity URLs”, a personal MySpace web address, have a MySpace Mail address reserved and waiting for them. For example, if a user’s profile URL is: www. Myspace.com/username, the company has reserved the following MySpace Mail address: username@myspace.com.

Users will have the option change both their URL and mail address when they set up an email account.

The new service will include a feature called Mail Activity Stream which allows users to see real-time update on their friends’ activities on MySpace, providing “a real-time snap shots of the activities of everyone in the conversation”. MySpace Mail will also allow users to embed photos, music and videos directly from their MySpace profile into their email with one click.

Users will be able to receive and send mail to anyone whether they are in the MySpace network or not, while enhanced privacy features enable users to receive mails from only their MySpace ‘friends’. There is also unlimited file storage.

MySpace Mail is reportedly being headed up by a team of ex-Hotmail employees, including former Microsoft engineer Rajit Marwah, who joined MySpace last year from Microsoft’s Messenger and Hotmail teams.

Having recently announced 720 job cuts worldwide, and fallen behind Facebook for the first time in the race to gain the most unique users, there is a widespread consensus that MySpace needs speedy strategy revamp.

New services such as this email service and the imminent UK launch of MySpace Music, the ad-funded music streaming service, are two examples of the News Corp owned network trying to reinvent itself.

Orionid Meteor Shower October 2009 Full Bloom Tonight

Meteor shower tonight Orionid meteor shower October 2009. We are in for another great treat from Orionid meteor shower. After Perseids showers that we experienced in mid August, it will be another visual treat for millions of stargazers.

The Orionids generally begin on October 15 and end on October 29, with maximum generally occurring during the morning hours of October 20-22. The Orionids are barely detectable on the beginning and ending dates, but observers in the Northern Hemisphere will see around 20 meteors per hour at maximum, while observers in the Southern Hemisphere will see around 40 meteors per hour. The maximum can last two or three nights, although there is evidence of some fluctuation from year to year.

There are other, weaker meteor showers going on around the same time as the Orionids. The Orionids generally appear to move fast. When you see a meteor, mentally trace it backwards. If you end up at Orion then you have probably seen an Orionid meteor! If you are not sure where Orion is in the sky, the following charts will help you find it from both the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere:

This represents the view from mid-northern latitudes at about 1:00 a.m. local time around October 21. The graphic does not represent the view at the time of maximum, but is simply meant to help prospective observers to find the radiant location. The red line across the bottom of the image represents the horizon.

Location of the Orionids:

For Southern Hemisphere Observers

This represents the view from mid-southern latitudes at about 2:00 a.m. local time around October 21. The graphic does not represent the view at the time of maximum, but is simply meant to help prospective observers to find the radiant location. The red line across the bottom of the image represents the horizon.

HISTORY :

The Orionids Meteor Shower is caused by the dust particles of Halley’s Comet (IP/Halley). Halley’s Comet last visited us in 1986 and has a 75-76 year orbit. The trail of debris that follows this comet consistently produces the Orionids Meteor Shower each October. Halley’s Comet is also accountable for an additional meteor shower in May called the Eta Aquarids. The Orionids Meteor Shower started October 2 and will be active until November 7. Viewers can expect the strongest activity to take place in the morning of October 21. An interesting fact about the Orionids is that they have been known to exhibit what is called “submaxima” activity which means that strong outbursts may occur anytime between October 18-24. Meteors are the occurrence of light created from meteoroids entering the Earth’s atmosphere at 90,000+ mph. Orionids seem to originate from the constellation Orion near the red/orange star named Betelgeuse. Light pollution from the moon and man-made sources of light are always a factor for meteor shower viewing, however this year the Moon will be a waxing crescent with only 13% of the Moon’s visible disk illuminated which means good news for meteor enthusiasts.

WHERE TO WATCH ?

To view this shower one must go to a safe dark place in the morning and look toward the constellation Orion. Orionids get their name from the meteor shower’s radiant which is located near Orion, the Hunter.

WHEN TO WATCH ?

For each shower, I list the shower's name and a "Predicted Maximum". This is when THE SHOWER should be at its maximum activity, whether or not you are in a position to view it. If this maximum time happens to coincide with a time when it's clear and dark and the radiant is high in your sky, you'll probably be a happy camper.

These times are generally valid for all of North America and are given as local time (i.e., you don't have to worry about converting for your time zone). It may be worth looking up the beginning of astronomical twilight for your location on a given date; this will give you an idea of how late you may observe into the prime morning hours.

I’m looking forward to this event because it marks the start of more major meteor activity in the last part of the year. The Orionids is considered a major meteor shower and could produce 25 to 35 visible meteors per hour. Please note that meteor showers are best seen in the morning before dawn so one should be observing Wednesday morning October 21 to have the best chance to see the most meteors not Wednesday Night.

When Even Politicians Bag A Nobel !!

The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded 89 times to 119 Nobel Laureates between 1901 and 2008 – 96 times to individuals and 23 times to organizations. Since International Committee of the Red Cross was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1917, 1944 and 1963, and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1954 and 1981, that means 96 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

To date he is the only President to hold a doctorate of philosophy (Ph.D.) degree and the only President to serve in a political office in New Jersey before election to the Presidency..He went to Paris in 1919 to create the League of Nations and shape the Treaty of Versailles, with special attention on creating new nations out of defunct empires. Largely for his efforts to form the League, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Willy Brandt, born Herbert Ernst Karl Frahm (18 December 1913 - 8 October 1992), was a German politician, Chancellor of West Germany 1969–1974, and leader of the Social Democratic Party of Germany 1964–1987.His most important legacy is the Ostpolitik, a policy aimed at improving relations with East Germany, Poland, and the Soviet Union.

Both Sadat and Begin were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for creating the treaty. In his acceptance speech, Sadat referred to the long awaited peace desired by both Arabs and Israelis.

Óscar Rafael de Jesús Arias Sánchez (born 13 September 1940) is a Costa Rican politician who has been President of Costa Rica since 2006. He previously served as President from 1986 to 1990 and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987 for his efforts to end civil wars then raging in several other Central American countries.Arias received the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize with the help of John Biehl, his peer in England, and Rodrigo Madrigal Nieto for his work towards the signing of the Esquipulas II Accords.
