		<description><![CDATA[ WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) -- Targeting Iran's economy, the U.S. ordered tough new penalties Monday to further pinch the country's financial system and encourage Israel to give sanctions more time before any military action against Iran's nuclear program. The new, stricter sanctions, authorized in legislation that President Barack Obama signed in December, will be enforced under an order he signed only now. They give U.S. banks new powers to freeze assets linked to the Iranian government and close loopholes that officials say Iran has used to move money despite earlier restrictions imposed by the U.S. and Europe. The action against the Central Bank of Iran is more significant for its timing than its immediate effect. It comes as the United States and its allies are arguing that tough sanctions can still persuade Iran to back off what the West contends is a drive to build a nuclear bomb. The U.S. and Europe want to deprive Iran of the oil income it needs to run its government and pay for the nuclear program. But many experts believe Iran will be able to find other buyers outside Europe. The European Union announced last month it would ban the import of Iranian crude oil starting in July. The U.S. doesn't buy Iranian oil, but last month it placed sanctions on Iran's banks to make it harder for the nation to sell crude. The U.S., however, has delayed implementing those sanctions for at least six months because it is worried about sending oil prices higher at a time when the world economy is struggling. Iran exports about 3 percent of the world's oil The faster and more painfully sanctions can be seen to work, the better the case to shelve any plan by Israel to bomb Iran, a pre-emptory move that could ignite a new Mideast war. Taking this initial step against the Central Bank, the first time the U.S. has directly gone after that major institution, is one way the Obama administration can show momentum now. Israel, meanwhile, has been increasingly open about its worry that Iran could be on the brink of a bomb by this summer and that this spring offers the last window to destroy bomb-related facilities. Many Israeli officials believe that sanctions only give time for Iran to move its nuclear program underground, out of reach of Israeli military strikes. White House spokesman Jay Carney denied that Monday's unexpected announcement of new banking sanctions was a sign of heightened worry about an Israeli attack. "There has been a steady increase in our sanctions activity and this is part of that escalation," he said. Carney said U.S. sanctions on Iran are already squeezing Iran's economy and have exacerbated tensions within the Iranian leadership. "There is no question that the impact of the isolation on Iran and the economic sanctions on Iran have caused added turmoil within Iran," he said. Iran is the world's third-largest exporter of crude oil, giving its leaders financial resources and leverage to withstand outside pressure. Last year, Iran generated $100 billion in revenue from oil, up from $20 billion a decade ago, according to IHS CERA, an energy consulting firm. If Iranian oil is prevented from getting to market, other suppliers could make up the difference. The U.S. has been pressuring other Middle East and African nations to step up production for sale to Europe. Saudi Arabia has said it could increase production to make up for any lost Iranian crude. Iran's disputed nuclear program became a global concern more than five years ago, when the extent of the country's research and uranium enrichment began to be known. Since then a web of international economic and other sanctions have failed to stop Iran's progress toward a point when it could build one or more nuclear devices. U.S. intelligence agencies say Iran is indeed close to that ability but has not yet decided to go ahead. Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful and denounces sanctions as aggression. The new U.S. penalties were unexpected now. The sanctions were included as an amendment in the wide-ranging defense bill the president signed in late December, though when and how they were to be levied on Iran was unclear. The White House had previously said it would take months to evaluate the likely effect on the fragile global economy before taking the next large steps, including new penalties on the Central Bank. Now, U.S. institutions are required to seize Iranian state assets they come across, rather than rejecting the transaction involved. The value of Iranian assets affected by the new order was not clear. Iran does almost no direct business with the United States after three decades of enmity, but its money moves through the world financial system and its oil is sold in dollars. In a letter to Congress, Obama said more sanctions were warranted, "particularly in light of the deceptive practices of the Central Bank of Iran and other Iranian banks." He cited the hiding of transactions of people or institutions and other loopholes. In an interview Sunday with NBC, Obama said the U.S. has "a very good estimate" of when Iran could complete a nuclear weapon, and he spoke favorably of the effect of sanctions and diplomacy to resolve the impasse. Obama addressed the concern about Israel but suggested there is still time. "I don't think Israel has made a decision on what they need to do," Obama said. He did not answer a question about whether Israel has promised to notify the United States before any pre-emptory strike. Republican presidential candidates have accused Obama of being too timid in his dealings with Iran, and while U.S. officials reject that characterization they acknowledge they are stepping cautiously because of fear of upsetting the global economy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At Washington Post , " Gingrich vows to fight on to the convention ." And at New York Times , " Gingrich Pledges Bitter Battle Until Convention ": Newt Gingrich vowed again to stay in the Republican presidential contest until the convention in August and said he will spend the next several months engaged in a bitter battle with Mitt Romney. Speaking to the press after the Nevada caucuses Saturday, Mr. Gingrich repeatedly hammered Mr. Romney as a pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-taxes candidate who has the backing of the Republican establishment. “I am a candidate for president of the United States,” he said. “I will be a candidate for president of the United States. I will go to Tampa.” Mr. Romney ignored Mr. Gingrich in his victory speech tonight. But Mr. Gingrich seemed insistent on making sure that his rival cannot simply look the other way. He accused Mr. Romney of purposely leaking false information about Mr. Gingrich’s plans to drop out of the presidential race, calling that Mr. Romney’s “greatest fantasy” in the race. And Mr. Gingrich said that recent meetings he held with donors were meant to map out a plan to continue getting his message out despite Mr. Romney’s superior fund-raising. “The entire establishment will be against us,” he predicted. But he said that by appearing on national television and doing interviews in newspapers, he will spread his agenda. “The American people want somebody who is genuinely conservative, who is prepared to change Washington,” Mr. Gingrich said. The question, really, is where can Newt win? Where will he do well in upcoming states? And when? He needs to do something fast. I don't have the answers right now, but I'll check and update. It's one thing to pledge a campaign all the way to the GOP convention in Tampa. It's another thing to do so without making yourself look like a sore loser and a fool. More from Jonathan Tobin, at Commentary , " New Newt? Same Sore Loser Strategy ." ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ **Written by Doug Powers The U.N. lowered their flag to half-staff for a brutal dictator , elected Iran to its Commission on Women&#8217;s Rights , and wants to spend $76 trillion over the next four decades to &#8220;green&#8221; the world . With that in mind, why should anybody doubt they have what it takes to eradicate oppression and misery or question their grip on economic reality? From Deseret News : The focus of the forum was &#8220;universal access to basic social protection and social services.&#8221; &#8220;No one should live below a certain income level,&#8221; stated Milos Koterec, President of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. &#8220;Everyone should be able to access at least basic health services, primary education, housing, water, sanitation and other essential services.&#8221; These services were presented at the forum as basic human rights equal to the rights of &#8220;life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.&#8221; The money to fund these services may come from a new world tax. &#8220;We will need a modest but long-term way to finance this transformation,&#8221; stated Jens Wandel, Deputy Director of the United Nations Development Program. &#8220;One idea which we could consider is a minimal financial transaction tax (of .005 percent). This will create $40 billion in revenue.&#8221; &#8220;It is absolutely essential to establish controls on capital movements and financial speculation,&#8221; said Ambassador Jorge Valero, the current Chairman of the Commission on Social Development. He called for &#8220;progressive policies of taxation&#8221; that would require &#8220;those who earn more to pay more taxes.&#8221; Valero&#8217;s speech to the forum focused on capitalism as the source of the world financial problems. When asked where she expected the money to provide all needy people with a basic income, healthcare, education and housing would come from, Fatima Rodrigo, one of the presenters at the forum, mentioned the &#8220;very small tax of .005 percent.&#8221; She added, &#8220;There is plenty of money, we just need to stop spending it on militaries and wars.&#8221; Here&#8217;s an alternate plan: The U.N. should start with something they can immediately control. If they moved out of their super-expensive digs and instead held their meetings in cheaper quarters (perhaps in &#8220;Occupy&#8221; encampments), billions of dollars would be freed up that they could immediately put toward helping impoverished and oppressed. Heck, maybe more people could be helped if they simply paid their parking tickets . **Written by Doug Powers Twitter @ThePowersThatBe ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Attorney General Eric Holder castigated an Idaho congressman while testifying before the House Oversight Committee Thursday, accusing him of committing one of the "worst things I think I've ever seen in Congress." Holder was on Capitol Hill to testify in an ongoing congressional probe into the failed Operation Fast and Furious, in which weapons sold to Mexican drug cartels were not tracked, resulting in the deaths of hundreds, including a U.S. Border Patrol agent. According to National Review Online , Holder was responding to a "grandstanding presentation" by Republican Congressman Raul Labrador that "cobbled together testimony from Holder going back ten years to establish a 'pattern' of Holder saying, in effect, 'I don’t know' in testimony." "There's a whole bunch of things that I could say about what you just did, maybe this is the way you do things in Idaho or wherever you're from," Holder said. "But understand something -- I'm proud of the work that I've done as attorney general of the United States, and looked at fairly, I think that I've done a pretty good job." He continued, "Have I been perfect? No. Have I made mistakes? Yes. Do I treat the members of this committee with respect? I always hope that I do. And what you have just done is if nothing else, disrespectful. And if you don't like me that's one thing. You should respect the fact that I hold an office that is deserving of respect." "And you know, maybe you're new to this committee, I don't know, I don't know how long you've been here. But my hope would be that we can get beyond that kind of interaction, that kind of treatment of a witness whether it's me or somebody else because I think what you just did was fundamentally unfair, just not right," Holder said.]]></description>
