November 08, 2012 When I studied law at Columbia in the early 1990s, I had the fortune of studying under Louis Henkin, probably the world’s most famous human rights theoretician. Upon his passing in 2010, Elisa Massimino at Human Rights First stated in Professor Henkin’s New York Times obituary that he “literally and figuratively wrote the book on human rights” and that “[i]t is no exaggeration to say that no American was more instrumental in the development of human rights law than Lou.”
COMMENT
Given that UN charter prohibits intervention, why are these people even backing intervention in the first place, and why aren't they all being tried somewhere?

FOREIGN SERVICE UPDATES

-- -- Qatar COMMENT Massive number of foreign workers in Qatar. Massive GDP. Small population. Economy has broadened its base, which is a bonus now that oil prices have plunged ... but it's not like Qatar would go broke. From prior checks, their economy is in substantial surplus. Loads of expenditure on infrastructure, which means foreign companies are probably making big money there. I like looking at Putin and I find Gaddafi fascinating, so I've thrown in a couple of the videos I've viewed. Had no idea Gaddafi's family were Bedouin. Knew that there was some kind of IRA link and I was surprised by that because Ireland's such a long way from his desert oasis. Don't know a whole lot about that. Arms supply, I think it was.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
PS .... that video didn't show enough of Putin. And, as usual, we can't hear him properly! I don't care if I can't understand; I want to hear him speaking without the volume turned down and commentary laid over the top. Can't be that hard to do a few basic written translations at the bottom of the screen. |

Totalitarian Evil Empire, USA
TOTALITARIAN
EVIL EMPIRE
ASSANGE & MANNING
Check out what a loathsome individual this woman is:

Of course, a sick and twisted USA also 'excuses' itself and gives itself the right to commit genocide (see Chomsky video above).
Hillary Clinton has a pattern of lying & denying public scrutiny:
Among the private e-mails is a communication concerning a DoJ subpoena issued to Twitter -- yep, Twitter, for f*ck's sake (lol) -- concerning information about Assange and 'certain individuals' who support Assange and Manning. On the basis of Hillary Clinton's history of unethical conduct in relation to matters of State and public interest, as disclosed by Jerry Zeifman, Hillary Clinton's use of private e-mail in relation to the Manning and Assange matters sure smacks of something dirty going on in the US State Department.

FLASHBACK: Hillary Clinton Fired From Watergate Investigation For ‘Lying, Unethical Behavior’ Excerpted from EO-History: The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes. [...] Zeifman says that Hillary, along with Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar, was determined to gain enough votes on the Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon. And in order to pull this off, Zeifman says Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents to hide her deception.
No way known can anybody expect to get justice in USA - ever.
Of course, Nixon’s resignation rendered the entire issue moot, ending Hillary’s career on the Judiciary Committee staff in a most undistinguished manner. Zeifman says he was urged by top committee members to keep a diary of everything that was happening. He did so, and still has the diary if anyone wants to check the veracity of his story. Certainly, he could not have known in 1974 that diary entries about a young lawyer named Hillary Rodham would be of interest to anyone 34 years later. EXTRACT ONLY - FULL AT SOURCE

US, NATO & DESTRUCTION OF LIBYA
US, NATO And The Destruction Of Libya: The Western Front Of A Widening War – OpEd
|
Good article for anyone interested in Libya.
I'm a bit slow so I've been reading and re-reading, trying to get the hang of what's happening.
I'm heading back the article for another read about US military and CIA involvement ... a sneaky NATO intervention ... incessant bombing ... US investment firms ... oil money and more. Oh, and the US involvement with Jihadists.
............................................................
PS
No matter how much I re-read, there's only so much info I can take in. This is about all I can absorb:Since 2011 NATO destruction Libya = 50,000 dead.General Khalifah Hifter (aka Haftar) was a Gadaffi general who defected and at one stage lived in Washington.Hifter went back to Libyawhen the NATO bombings began in 2011.Hifter heads 1,700 militias (yep, that many), which is about 250,000 armed men.(I think) the article indicates the problem in Libya is that the anti-Gadaffi fighters are now not prepared to subordinate themselves to Hifter.Hifter's the US-backed man ... he's the Libyan 'wonder'. But that's not necessarily a positive.CIA under Petraeus recruited Islamists from Eastern Libya to fight in Syria (see Broadwell biography).War against Syria: Qatar, Saudi Arabia & Turkey backed (money & weapons) ISIS.
Now Saudi Arabia & Qatar fallen out over military takeover of Egypt by Grl SISI (and something to do with the Brotherhood).Article says US Africa Command and CIA recruited previously designated terrorists.There was a Hifter and Jihadist alliance.Sounds like Hifter wants to be the main man.His main rival was bumped off (General Abdul Fattah Younis).Wikipedia on Younis - here - says he was #2 in Gadaffi govt before he resigned and joined the rebels.
Shot & body burnt (along with x1 other). Said to have been killed by rebels on suspicion he was double agent (for Gadaffi).The Libyan stuff is supposed to affect North Africa, Gaza, Syria and maybe some other areas, but I don't understand how and this is pretty much all I can kind of get a handle on at the moment. LOL.Great article for anyone who knows more about the region than I do. Worth a read.
