Bilderberg decided on Gene Sperling as Summers' replacement rather than Altman.

Donilon is concerned about the perception that his pupil Obama is shrinking from leadership in the Mideast

He briefs Obama several times a day on the crisis

Altman says the US debt ceiling must be raised or we'll crash the economy like we did in 2008:

I agree with what the Fed chairman, Chairman Bernanke, said this past
this, which is that it would have severely destabilizing impacts. In fact, he said it would probably bring back the severe chaos we saw in the immediate aftermath of the collapse of Lehman Brothers in the
fall of '08.

I think it will have to be a serious agreement to cut the deficit, or a downpayment, as the administration is talking about, negotiated beforehand, and then pass the debt limit increase in effect in exchange for that. So there will have to be a serious budget agreement. It will just be a downpayment. It won't solve the entire $4 trillion 10-year problem. But if it's not serious and pretty large, then I don't think it will get the votes to pass the debt limit.

Last week Donilon, who orchestrated the recent musical chairs in CIA director and SecDef assignments talked about UBL and Pakistan:

Regarding Obama's recent "Winds of Change" speech pushing Israel to return to pseudo 1967 borders ...

Here's Donilon at Donald Ross' Washington Institute for NearEast Policy earlier in the week. Apparently the thinking is that new weapons systems such as Iron Dome will be able to take out any short range attacks on Israel. http://blog.pjvoice.com/showDiary.do;jsessionid=599A6A88D00058AB370F3DFA20549C48?diaryId=483

And that this strategy will put the pressure on Hamas

Also the Washington Institute's Bilderberg man Dennis Ross is currently "special adviser" for the Persian Gulf and Southwest Asia (Iran) to US SecState Hillary Clinton.

[kevink]

This is an important interview with George Mitchell, who just resigned as US “Special Envoy to the Middle East”, on the US Winds of Change policy which Mitchell has driven. He says he will continue on in an active role. Mitchell said obtaining European agreement is critical if the issue goes before the UN, which hints that it will be a topic of discussion in St. Moritz.
http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/11695

I’ve summarized Mitchell’s statements:
1. US has an unshakeable commitment to Israel's security, underlined by funding for Iron Dome and JSF.
2. Swaps will be based on 1967 borders.
3. This proposal was made by Olmert several years ago. Much discussed, not new.
4. Purpose in part is to prevent a negative development in Sept at the UN General Assembly when Palestine makes a bid for a Palestinian state. US wants negotiation between the two parties, rather than by a 3rd party (the UN) as an alternative.

Regarding Netanyahu’s displeasure, US and Israel are working out their differences.

The Palestinians left the last meeting because Israel re-started settlements.
1. US needs to support an election in Palestine.
2. If Hamas wins, US may cut off aid to Palestine.
Arab Spring has created uncertainty in Israel/Palestine. US focus on Egypt was correct. Both Israel and Palestine have been shaken by ouster of Mubarak.

Israel's self-interest is in having a democratic Palestinian state with enforceable security. Three reasons:
1. Arabs will outnumber Jews at some point so demographics will force it.
2. Technology - rockets - Hezbollah has 30,000, Hamas far less but both are upgrading. Walls aren't enough.
3. Increasing of Israel's isolation within the international community. Only the US opposed Palestinian resolution against settlements in February.

US policy must be both value-based and interest-based. Oil is key. Disruption of supplies would be catastrophic. Conflict in the Middle East is unpredictable. Arab Spring is about human dignity for Arabs.

Mitchell failed to get an agreement, but got the two parties to talk. Also trained Palestinians to secure their country.

US never made settlements a precondition, but didn't make it clear enough.

Any agreement has to be by the two parties themselves. Any US plan proposed by the US isn't going to be successful. US can help iron out differences only.

Turkey can play a significant role, although Turkey and Israel's relationship has gotten worse.

It's not just peace with the Palestinians. It's in the Arabs interest to accept Israel, create a bulwark against Iran. Three relationships:
1. Israel vs. Palestine
2. Israel vs. Arab neighbors
3. Israel and Arabs vs. Iran

“Americans buy war like children gobble candy,” laughed Henry Kissinger, longtime Bilderberg luminary. “Of course, Baracky [President Obama] has to be publicly reluctant to go to war, but we can depend on him.”
(Bilderberg words come from an inside source whose information has been accurate time after time.)

why does Kissinger speak with a fake German accent ????

National Security Advisor Thomas Donilon has essentially been holding the China policy portfolio himself since September 2010 when in the early part of that month he and then Obama national economic advisor Lawrence Summers went to Beijing to attempt a reset in a quickly deteriorating US-China economic and military relationship. For the most part, currency politics aside, Donilon's mission has succeeded -- and he has since preempted either Clinton's China hands, particularly Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell, or Geithner's team from taking primacy over US-China policy.

The shift to a strategy of engagement with Biden at the top, orchestrated by Donilon, allows the US to deal with China's likely next president from a Vice President to a Vice President/Next President status -- and to continue both the Departments of State's and Treasury's ongoing engagement with other designated key Chinese leaders.

Charlie Rose: "What happens to (Trilateralist) Susan Rice?"

Mark Halperin, NY Times "Well she's still the Ambassador to the United Nations and extraordinarilly influential as long as Tom Donilon stays as the National Security Advisor. These other positions are very important, people have input, but foreign policy is really run out of that not so grand office, the perfectly grand West Wing office. I suspect if Tom Donilon ever moves on that Susan Rice would be a leading contender for that job and have the ability to do what Tom Donilon's done which is to consolidate an enormous amount of authority and and decision making."

Donilon is conspicuously absent from the official White House administration site
http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop and James Jones is still shown as National Security Advisor http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/nsc/nsa

Marty Feldstein warns and telegraphs the future crash here: "Once the Fed stops buying securities, however, interest rates will rise and asset prices, including stock prices, will fall. This will have serious adverse effects on investors, particularly highly leveraged institutions and pension funds."

"Long-term interest rates are also likely to rise in the future because of the higher inflation induced by the Fed's current policy. ... The Fed would do well to gradually end its program of buying long-term securities and shift its communications to a simple statement that it will do whatever it takes to achieve long-term price stability."
Wall Street Journal, January 3, 2013
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324669104578204190538524144.html

The question: At what point the Fed (with the approval of Bilderberg, the Financial Services Forum, and the Inter-Alpha Bank) decide to stop buying securities and kick off the inevitable hyperinflation and US treasury bubble crash?  Fed Chair Bernanke has said at least 2015.

Apparently Bilderberg is not happy with the petulant Obama, his politics-obsessed crew, and their foreign policy recalcitrance. Rockefeller/CFR lieutenant Vali Nasr critiques the Obama people who rejected the diplomatic bent of the late Richard Holbrooke (Bilderbergers Jim Jones and Tom Donilon, David Axelrod, Dennis Mcdonough, Jack Lew)
http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/12922

Now Bilderberg has unleashed some scandals to jostle them (Benghazi embassy attack alibis, Associated Press wiretapping, Internal Revenue Service targeting of Obama's political opponents). Vernon Jordan tells Obama to clean up his act: “It’s never all right if you’re the president. There is no smooth sailing. So now he has the turbulence, and this is the ultimate test of his leadership.” Jordan says Obama needs to do something dramatic on the IRS, and quick: “He needs to fire somebody. He needs action, not conversation.”

Kissinger: "I favor a limited military strike (on Syria) ... If the president of the United States for the first time in American history, so far as one can tell, is refused authority by the Congress to do what he has declared in the national interest, the impact of that on allies and on people we’ll have to be in possible confrontation with could be enormous ... the fundamental strategic issue in the middle East is in Iran and we should not get involved in a diversion of such a magnitude"
